Ruth Solvang One that few of us can forget is Ruth. Whether it is in singing; in conversation, or in praying, we could see Christ reflected in her. Bernard Travaille Bernie had a distinctive character that will long live in the memory of his schoolmates. Gladyce Treumer Gladyce ' s vivid personality and untiring determination will serve to make her testimony permanent in its impression upon us. Elbert Walker We ' re sorry that we have to say goodbye to Al , for he is the kind of fellow everyone loved. He always had time to say Hello and to flash one of those Walker smiles. Gustaf Westmo He has been an inspiration on how to study to many of us. A former missionary to India, he has mastered several lang- uages. Theresa Westmo She is one that has set herself to so live in God, as by her life to compel others to think of God. Harris Youngquist Harris ' determination and his scholastic ability remind us that the will to labor is a greater thing than genius. Camera Shy: Peter Ahlquist Peter is the man with the photographic mind, a thing to be desired in school. He has done a fine job of majoring in history.

Dana Larson Bethel leaves with Dana God ' s richest blessing for wa have recognized that he has the trademark cf real greatness- humility. Janet Lyih Rerriniscing the Bsthel days of 1942-43 will recall diminui- tive Butterball ' s lively per- sonality and congenial nature. Ruth Nelson Feihops we often think of Ruthie ' s scholastic ability and envy her for that alert mind, but we ' ll never forget her happy smile. Lois Nelson We ail remember Lois ' spark- ling brown eyes, frankness and humor. She has been an inspiration to all of us. Bernice Peterson Bernice has been a quiet student, and yet she has a way of expressing her desirable character for a testimony to us all. Joy Phillips Another one of these busy Bethelites leaves our ranks. She utilizes almost every min- ute because she has been a part-tim.e nurse. % Miriam Quarnstrom Ii was too bad that Quarny couldn ' t have spent her first year of college here too, for we have enjoyed immensely her friendly nature and willing attitude. Charlotte Sandin Whether before an audience or in the kitchen as assistant cook, we realize that Char ' s capability and efficiency can fit her for any position.

r r) ilnO o C) n £c a-oH ma e GlaU Oh, yes, study this year-we ' re sophomores. Such is our slogan, but amidst our studying we managed to squeeze in a httle social life in the form of a sleigh-ride first semester. Then we sponsored the all-school birthday party, a rather unique but successful affair on .April 13. Three projects were considered; furnishing a reception room in the college building, repairing the tennis courts, and furnishing the college chapel with ferns and flags, but the latter was decided upon. A note of sadness came with the second semester when Uncle Sam look, among our sophomores, our president. Rune Mentzer, and also Melvin Wyma, our treasurer. But we carried on successfully under the able leadership of Merle Freiheit, vice-president. Harris Youngqu ist succeeding Mel as treasurer and Verna Jorgensen, as secretary, completed the executive body. Professor C. E. Carlson served as advisor and Gordon Johnson as class chaplain. Our memories of Bethel will be those of two hcjppy years spent within its walls. Some of us will go on to the seminary; some will continue at other institu- tions of learning; some will go into nurses train- ing; some will just go out ctnd work. But all of us will be in His hands serving Him where He sees fit for us to be. Our Birthday Party
