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.

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

Wil Borne Students at the college haven ' t seen much of this soph- omore, but he has been there anyway, and probably study- ing harder than most of them. Harold Carlson We can frankly say of Harold A merry heart maketh a cheer - full countenance for his smile and laugh are memorable features of Bethel. Doris Fanberg Fanny , that agreeable and sympathetic sophomore will be missed by the Bethelites next year for we ' ve enjoyed her Christian example. Mary Hamlin Mary ' s perfect trust in the Almighty has spurred us all on to greater faith in our Crea- tor. Thanks, Mary, for your wonderful Christian life. Helen Heitzman In the light of Helen ' s con- genial nature, this quotation seems especially fitting — The best way to have friends is to be one. Gordon Johnson Besides being a friend di- rectly to the students of Bethel, Gordie has been an active friend of God. Le Roy Johnson We bid fond farewell to Le Roy, for he has been a good student, and reports are that he is a capable preacher too. Verna Jorgensen Her pleasant life and smile add greatly to the sum total of the world ' s sweetness.
