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

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.

■ ooo lednmen Glai-i September 14, 1942 is a date long to be remembered by our group, being the date that we as freshmen entered the Bethel family and vvere introduced to its Christian fellowship. After a few weeks the class was organized and D. Danielson was elected as president. W. Haring was given the vice-president ' s position, H. Carlson the secretary ' s and J. Danielson the treasurer ' s. For class advisor we chose Miss Alice Johnson and under this capable leadership the year was completed. As in other classes, the call to military service was responded to by several of our classmates. Others were called away for diverse reasons when the need arose and we miss them all. Our activities included a Twin-City Funfest held on April 3 which was attended by a large group of people. At the close of the year the Junior-Senior banquet was sponsored on May 21. It was the big event of the College year, being a form.al in the College auditorium. We as a freshmen class are looking ahead to another enjoyable year of inspiration and study at Bethel. twent j-six
