The eighteen members of the class are a vital part of Bethel school life. We as a class chose as our leaders for the year Francis Otto, presi- dent; Stanley Paulson, vice-president and Gordon Thompson, secretary- treasurer. The activities of the class included giving devotional books to all men entering the service from Bethel and donating our blood for the Red Cross. In addition we have made it our duty to see that the new students observe the traditions of Bethel. The individuals of the class are active in every organization in school. A large percentage have Middlemen as officers or leaders. Members of the class include two foreign missionaries from China and India, a rather unusual circumstance. During the school year (as well as during the summer) most of the Middlemen have served communities as pastors. We as Middlemen look into the future desiring to serve Christ even more diligently than we do now. iLCenty

These two letters are the fourth and third letters of the Greek alphabet and thus serve to express, The Class of ' 43 . We also chose a sign; this was the popular V . V is for victory, for victory has been accomplished in the completion of the prescribed seminary course, and victory is anticipated as we launch out into the service of our beloved Master. Class activities of the year began with a session spent in discussing health problems with a physi- cian; a discussion with a representative of the inter-seminary fellowship and later a Christmas party. We voted to contribute a sum of money for the purchase of a desk for Professor Omark as a project. The officers of the class were: Grant Samuelson, president; Willard Anderson, vice-president; Ray Johnson, secretary; Dallas V est, treasurer. With gratitude to God, faculty and fellow-students, we leave the memorable halls of Bethel ever to cherish blessed memories of a beloved school whose influence has helped to direct our lives and service God-ward. nineteen

iuuan GlaU SuSaKTd 0a r uj r x r S e u p e To. • ' c ' r| Tcj Ta a e u K To. 7T Q p OL Oeoco n Tn (j ' a - k vr r - SOPHOCLES A large Junior class entered the sem- inary desiring knowledge which had been gleaned by students of other years and asking that by the grace of God they might use it to His honor. Youth characterized the class with its enthusiasm and aggressiveness. This enthusiasm was felt by the college in defeat to the Juniors in intra-mural athletics. The Lord ' s work was carried on with enthusiasm also as Gospel teams, Sunday School classes, student pastor- ates; and other fields of service called practically the entire class. Cecil Lindblom was class president; Glen Swanson, vice-president; Lily John- son, secretary; Joel Anderson, treasurer; and as advisor we had Prof. R. Omark. We hope that the aggressiveness and enthusiasm may remain with each member in consecrated effort as workers in our churches. First Row: E. Anderson; G. Swanson; L, Johnson; C.
