When he speaks to an individual or a chapel group he lifts his listen- er to the heavens of his shining vision ; his divine power to raise the soul to heights proclaims him an inspired leader for God ' s chosen workers. His voice, symbolic of the order- ly tenor of his thought and hab- it, echoes prepossessingly through many halls of endeavor. Dean of College Emery A. Johnson Karl J.

Theodora Bergman At his tongue ' s tip a witty thought — at his fingertips a glory of musical perfection; the very skill and talent of his performance is in- citement to his pupils to master the keyboard. C. E. Carlson Most popular mediator of campus misunderstandmgs, he represents to respectful student minds a figure of non-bias and complete comprehen- sion. Danielson Her flashing smile and dash of humor, like arrows sprung from the bow of her personality, quickly hit the bull ' s-eye of friendship with all of her acquaintances. Nine Effie Nelson There are few people who can say so much in so few words; few, too, who see and hear as much and repeat as httle. Adolf Olson The noise of a deep well is a pervading silence: when he states a case you find he has at one sweep answered all your unstated argu- ments. Eric Anderson (Not Pictured) Eric ' s steadiness is accounted for by the sturdy pillars of experience which have arisen in his decades of service. E. Nordstrom To point to the life of a man who serves with his whole heart, possession and time is the simplest way to produce something inspiring. I Esther Sabel Loyal to Christ and dedicated to service, she has with her few, sin- cere, well-chosen words given the encouragement and help many a student has searched for. Enid Platts Of small delights she creates imaginative wonders and from too energetic college boys she evokes surprised submission. Alice Johnson Infectious with happiness and aglow with friendliness, she has been drafted by the entire student body as bosom-buddy and con- fidante.

HOKANSON Tempests raged at the half for the players and winds of anxiety whipped up lashing words but the storms soon subsided and from then on his character offered smooth sailing. Nei.s Stjernstrom The personality of Nels strikes a vibrant chord which quickly pene- trates the separating walls of un- familiarity, leaving the cherished possession of a friend. Mrs. Vhrral The trig class has the privilege of knowing a teacher unknown to the others for the shyness of her sparkling eyes and her pleasing spirit win and secure a place for her in their hearts.

Office Staff Bethel flourishes behind the eflforts ot these folk who perhaps do not receive their due thanks. The vision of Wyman Malmsten reaches out to paint a glimpse of the future, while the office-staff maintains our widespread influence and Eric masterfully keeps our campus beautiful. Rules and regulations are the backbone of any smoothly-run organization: few groups are fortunate enough to be headed by a board filled with selfless desire and surrendered to God ' s will. Their prayer and tireless hours of conference maintain Bethel as God has led. First Roir: Miss E. Larson, Mrs. H. Johnson, Dr. C. Burton. Pres. Wingblade, Mrs. A. Fredin. Second Row: Dr. K.

Not only did they carry a full Seminary course, but they also held student pastorates or preached in neighboring churches from time to time. The class met monthly in the home of a professor or student for the discussion of various problems and for a social time. One very patriotic act which the class as a body participated in was the giving of blood to the Red Cross. The class also tried to encourage other students to do the same. A special course, Christianity in the Social Order, was held weekly for the Seniors by Professor C. E. Carlson. Officers of the Senior class were: president, Stanley Paulson; vice- president, Mel Swanson; secretary-treasurer, Gordon Thompson. Se enieen [ iddLEniEn First Row: J. Anderson, L. Jdhnson, R.

Johnson. The student pastorates of the Middlemen class were widely spread throughout all of Minnesota. The remainder of the group who did not hold churches often spoke in the chapels of the vicinity. This class held several social events which were called Fellowship by the Fireside . When enough snow arrived, Fellowship by the Fireside was abandoned for Fellowship by the Toboggan . The greatest achievement of this class was the sponsoring of the Seminary banquet. The officers were: president, R. C. Peterson; vice-president, Anderson; secretary, Lily Johnson; treasurer, H. Olson. J- Eighteen ' unLozi Although this was the first year in the Seminary for the class, the members of it did not lat; far behind their senior students in the number and variety of activities. As in the other classes, the majority of the men held student pastorates or preached frequently. This class also boasted two church missionaries. Individuals of the group went to donate blood to the Red Cross at regular intervals. In addition to the full-fledged members, there were nine special students who also took work in the college. Their oflicers were: president, Lloyd Sprecher; vice-president, Paul Nagano; secretary-treasurer, Gloria Mitchell. First Roir: VC ' . Quiring. A. Gust,ifsun. W. Peterson. H. Carlson. Second Row: H.

Nineteen fi r. : e: s. oano noZE ■ : y Although the ranks of the Sophomore class were depleted by the army, this organization fulfilled its purpose of helping in the provision of social activities for the school. The all-school birthday party, which is now becoming an annual occurrence, was the big event on the Sopho- more calendar. When the graduating class presented a gift to the school on their graduation, the class centered its attention on a donation to the coming men ' s dormitory. Twenty JtElll iniEn Although the navy took its president and although only a few men were able to register, the Freshman class proved to be a very spirited organization. Its members could be found actively engaged in all soci- eties, sports, and publications. The large amount of spirit and co-opera- tion of the Freshman girls almost made up for the lack of male students. Although the class planned few activities, the parties that were held were most successful. The basket social was the crowning success of th ' year for the class. The Freshman-Sophomore banquet held in the closing days of the school year was another of the session ' s high-lights that was made successful by the Class of Forty-five . The officers for the year were: sponsor. Dean Johnson; president, Robert Nelson; vice-president, Kay Shimatsu; secretary, Gretchen Clausen; treasurer, Jane Larson.

The Christian Workers ' Course is designed especially for those students desiring to become capable and efficient in Christian service. The enrollment was somewhat greater as compared with previous years, attaining in the past year a total of sixteen who have completed the full course while many more took only such subjects as they could along with their academic studies. Both gained much knowledge con- cerning God ' s Word, and were greatly strengthened spiritually. The main social activity of the year was a well attended party held in the home of Mr. A. J. Wingblade at the close of the first semester. The classes were taught by A. J. Wingblade, Miss Esther Sabel, and Prof. E. G. Norstrom, and became increasingly popular with many students. Lives were consecrated to full-time service as they became more acquainted with the Bible and more conscious of the need of laborers.

Carlson, Prof. Norstrom, G. Thompson, J. Rye, R. Peterson. Probably the most important student organization is the group which governs the activities of the entire school. This group is called the Student Council. This membership is made up of the cabinet and each important club or council of the school is allowed to send one representa- tive to the meetings. Therefore the council is a democratic group. The purpose of the council is four-fold; to organize the members of the student body of Bethel, to promote and have general control of the several student activities, to foster a wholesome spirit within the student body, and to encourage friendship and co-operation between the students and also between the various organizations. The officers of past year were: president, Harold Carlson; vice- president, Dana Larson; secretary-treasurer, Violet Carlson; B club, Bob Bergerud; Seminary, Bob Peterson; Religious Council, Arlene Peter- son ; College, Lloyd Norstrom ; Music, Wilbur Erickson ; Publications, Janet Rye; Alexis, Gordon Thompson; and Forensics, Lloyd Sprecher. Twenty-four t ELiaioii± C oiuiaiL If the .ichievements of .in organization are measured in its successful undertakini; of many and varied projects, the Religious Council succeeds. With Dr. Wingblade as its advisor, the organization of several gospel teams was accomplished and although restrictions on traveling kept the teams within the city area this year, they did much work in churches, missions, and chapels. The supervision of the various prayer meetings also is in the hands of this group and tracts were placed at the disposal of the student body. The crowning achievements of the council were the two Religious Emphasis Weeks. The first of these weeks occurred in the fall with Rev. Martin Erickson as the speaker. Rev. Walter Olson was speaker in the week of pre-Easter services. Religious Council officers for the first semester were: president, Robert Hails; vice-president, Cecil Lindblom; secretary, Gladyce Nord- tjuist; treasurer, Arlene Peterson. The second semester vice-president was F. Robert Otto; secretary, Helen Soder. Firsi Row: H. Soder, R. Hails, Pres. Wingblade. ScidiiJ Rmc: F. Octu, A. Peterson, C. Lindblom.

Why is the Missionary Band one of Bethel ' s most active and success- ful groups? It is because the organization succeeds in fulfilling its pur- pose — encouraging interest in mission work. Inte resting meetings were held once a month for inspirational missionary messages. Proof of that inspiration was seven hundred dollars given by Bethel students to a Baptist mission school in Jorhat, Assam. Another activity carried on by the organization was a monthly study group, which met to learn of mission work and problems. The president of the band is a missionary who has served several years in Africa, Harold McClure; vice-president. Dale Bjork; secretary, Alma Iblings; and treasurer, Cecil Lindblom. Twenty-six J EniEL WoniEni c:: f±±oaiation Meet Bethel ' s only t;roup whose membership is made up entirely of those of the fairer sex. This group consists of all College and Seminary girls, teachers, and faculty wives. Monthly meetings were held, and on such dates as Thanksgiving, Christmas, and St. Valentine ' s Day special programs were given. A tea was given in the spring in honor of the graduating m embers. The object of this group was to bring all Bethel women together, so that they might become better acquainted. The officers of the Bethel Women ' s Association for 1943-44 were: president, Eunice Anderson ; vice-president, Carol Rexion ; secretary, Ethel Heitzman; and treasurer, Arlcne Peterson. Seated: E.

The aim of the group is to bring before those students who are interested in Christian work the problems that they are apt to meet in the church. The monthly programs consisted of speeches, panel discussions and skits. For the first semester the officers were: president, Richard Sleiter; vice-president, Joel Anderson; treasurer, Willis Wessman; and secretary, Miriam Johanson. During the second semester the cabinet consisted of Gordon Thompson, president; Robert Peterson, vice-president; William Peterson, treasurer; and Gloria Mitchell, secretary. The college club was organized several years ago to attempt to bring the various groups of the school together for programs of a more literary nature. At present, how- ever, the group has not been as active as it was in previous years. The future of the club is being planned for by the officers: president, W. Peterson; vice-president, Violet Carlson; secretary, Ahce Olson; and treasurer, Julie Ann Erickson. The first semester officers were: president, W. Haring; secretary-treasurer, W. Ericson.

This year ' s chorus consisted of nineteen members with Professor Nels Stjernstrom as direc- tor. The chorus presented only two concerts. The first of these was in the fall at the Central Baptist Church of St. Paul. The second, in the closing days of the first semester, was held in Jackson Hall in Minne- apolis. Plans were being made for an annual concert tour, but because several members of the chorus were ineligible for the second semester ' s work, the plans were discontinued. The remaining members continued to practice each week. Wilbur Ericson was the pianist. Other officers were: president, Gunnar Hoglund; vice-president, Dale Bjork; secretary, David Danielson; treasurer, Robert Norstrom; librarian, Howard Olson. Thirty %Lan Cfz lOlill The Ari.in Chorus is a comparatively new ort;anization, as chis year marked the forth session of the musical group. Under the able leadership jf Prof. Nels Stjernstrom the chorus has been able to complete a number of highly successful concerts. Among these were; a chapel program, special Twin Cities church programs, and assistance in male chorus con- certs. It is the purpose of the organization to provide opportunities of musical development and training for Bethel girls. Pianist for the chorus is Ruth Rask; president. Alma Iblings; vice-president and student direc- tor, Marie Green, with the secretary-treasurer being Ruth McClure. Fin Rniv: L. Carlson, D. Dahiman, R. Rask, A. Iblings, R. McClurc, M. Green.

The reason — on Wednesday the chapel choir sings. At the beginning of the fall term try-outs were held and twenty-two members chosen. Lloyd Sprecher was the director and Jane Larson served as accompanist for the full year. Rehearsal time was Monday morning while the rest of us were in the chapel service. The selections varied both in type and presentation, from hymns to a capella arrangements. The highlight of the year was a stirring cantata given at Christmas entitled The Chorus in the Skies.

Although the Bethel Pep Band was not heard from too frequently, the group always attempted to make up for lack of programs in making each appearance a lively one. The various groups — woodwinds, brass, and percussion — were blended to- gether under the masterful touch of Conductor Howard Olson. Chief appearances were at basketball games, sophomore birthday party, and the freshman basket social. Other groups also get much op- portunity to sing or play on gospel team work, chapel programs or even giving concerts, as the quartet did. Three of the more aaive groups are pictured here. D.

Although rebuffs were frequent, the editor, Dana Larson, did a yeoman duty and kept the staff working. He worked with the able assistance of Janet Rye, and business manager, William Peterson. So let us take a bow to our own applause, and we hope we can also bow to your appreciation. Thirty-four DL CL aZLon The policy of the Clarion has been to maintain and promote the Christian principles of Bethel Institute, to promote scholarship, to foster more school spirit, to establish a better understanding among the students. This year twelve issues of the Clarion have been published. Bar- bara Edson was the Editor-in-Chief, and Carol Rexion was the Assist- ant Editor. A large staff contributed their time and efforts in making the paper a success. The Editorial Advisor was Miss Enid Platts, and the Business Advisor was Dean Emery Johnson. In Front: C. Rexion, B.

North, east, south, west — with St. Paul as the hub of a giant wheel, the student pastors spread out to cover a great area each Sunday. Some of these students have churches in the Cities, some speak at frequent times in the area, some have chapels in the outlying districts, and some travel hundreds of miles to their charge. It is a great work — a work good for the valuable experience obtained, and good for the propagation of the gospel of peace. Thirty-six iJ- ionzEX liuzcli lUzatiEi FOREST LAKE When a difficult project proves to be successful, we at Bethel want to be the first to congratulate those of our group who did the work. The Forest Lake Baptist Church is a successful project undertaken by students of Bethel. Started by Rev. M. W. Samuelson, the church grew, and now under Wesley Lindblom the work continues to expand. A Sunday School is developing very satisfactorily, and the progressive group is already planning to build a church. ST. LOL ' IS PARK St. Louis Park is the baby of the Minnesota State Conference and proves to be a grow- ing child. The work was begun with power of prayer by the faithful from that district. Quick action of the Conference brought about the purchase of an abandoned tavern, which has been renovated. Dale Bjork now has been serving faithfully since the regular work was established. HIGHLAND PARK BAPTIST CHURCH Highland Park Baptist Church was started as a mission work in October, 1941. in the Higliland Theater. In the spring of 19-i.i. the church was organized with twenty charter members. In September, 19-)0, the government granted permission to build a basement church at the cost of S8,500. The basement was completed and dedicated February 20, 1944. The Bethel student body has always been interested in the Highland Park project. From the beginning of the church in 1941, Bethel students have taught in the Sunday School and helped in various ways. At the present time, Gunnar Hoglund is the pastor.

Although the chief purpose of these teams is the spreading of God ' s word, the students also receive much benefit in the form of experience in program planning and leadership. The Religious Council supervises the activities of these groups, makes up the groups and appoints leaders for each semester. This year there were five teams. H. Carlson ' s team and the bus. Thirty-eight Jzioiji and ixLi. Under the supervision of Grace Swanson, Arleth Brask, Bob Bergerud and Lily Johnson, classes in religious instruction were held every Saturday night in the Seminary classrooms. The average attendance was twenty- five throughout the year. After an hour and a half of Bible study, chorus singing and Scripture memorizing, the rest of the evenings were devoted to various games in the gymnasium, fol- lowed by light refreshments. This work served a double pur- pose — that of giving the young people of the neighborhood a place to spend their Saturday evenings profitably and enjoyably and also to give the students real practice in applying the class- room lessons on missionary and young people ' s work.

Active Conference competition was lacking from this year ' s major-sport activities. The basketball team did play several games with the nearby schools and made two trips. Mr. Gronseth and Mr. Hokanson of Augsburg were student-coaches for the year. Baseball, too, is a major sport and games were played with teams both here and away. The first two games were decisive victories but later scores were not available at this printing. ;; Front: B. Peterson. First Row: W. Wessman. W. Lindblom. C. Anderson. C. Sahlin. E. Anderson.

Forty -one B (!U I Organized for the purpose of furthering the athletic activities of the school, the B Club, composed of fellows who have made a major sport B letter, has done much this past year in making the Seminary gymnasium a gathering place for minor-sport enthusiasts. Among those sports encouraged by the B Club were ping pong, shuffle- board and handball. The equipment was purchased with student funds for use in the renovated Seminary gym. To incite more vigor to the program, tournaments were played during the winter months. Badminton was also popu- larized by the purchase of that equipment. Later on in the spring tennis playing was prevalent and matches were held with neighboring colleges. Forty-two _ 2£: viLLacj.
