CARLSON Dean of College To you who as a teacher, advisor, and friend, have shown a kind interest in the molding of young people's lives, whose friendship has been coveted by all, and most of all, whose fellowship with the Lord has made your ministry fruitful and enriching, we sincerely dedicate this bock. Possessing sincerity, versatility, and brilliant instructional ability. Dean Carlson is a friend and representative of every Bethel student. His keen mind constantly evokes deep thinking in his classes, while his personality and humor make History and Economics lectures a welcome period of instruction. Varied readings and experiences have given him a background capable of handling many queries and problems of the students. The most popular mediator of campus misunderstandings he. wields wisdom with well-chosen words and thoughts. • • • • . IpAof MJOA . (pA adiQA . (psAAomdiiif Completed Sketch of Boys' Dormitory College and Chapel tBospl' (DiAmito up ml JthsL waip UpL Seventy-five years ago Bethel was organized on fundamental principles. During these many years the faculty and administration have always been sincere Christians vitally interested4in the spiritual welfare, and mental and physical development of their students. National periods of war, depression, and prosperity have failed to alter the ideals, traditions, and principles of Bethel. Bethel presents a strengthening Christian philosophy during these days of national crisis and changing policies. New students are welcomed by several prayer meetings daily, consecrated chapel services, and prayer and devotion in the class rooms. Student Gospel teams visit nearby missions, chapels and Old Folks Home to proclaim the true Gospel in prayer, praise and song. The powerful spiritual emphasis is accompanied with an equally sirong emphasis upon secular education. The policy of the school is evident in the opportunities for the students to train themselves in order to face the problems and temptations of the world today. Bethel students carry the high traditions and Christian codes cf their Alma Mater to the local and foreign fields for the Lord. From the local churches in the Midwest to the jungles of Africa and India; from the North to the isles of the South Seas, the sons and daughters of Bethel proclaim with Baptist fearlessness the truths from God's Holy Word. It is to these vocations as well as to the simpler walks of life that the Bethel faculty and administration send their students, trained in mature Christian living and in a high type of secular scholarship, as representatives of the Kingdom of God. 11 OjuudsmitL diwAif QotVtad (jJinqbladsi PRESIDENT One ship sails east, another west, To the self same winds that blow; 'Tis the set of the sail and not the gale That determines which way they go.

F. Lyle @ oIl qsL J'MAkmsLtL Despite the hazing, we, as freshmen, took when we entered Bethel in September, we were conscious of the warm friendliness and Christian fellowship which is characteristic of our school. After enduring green armbands and other such indignities for a week, and after watching Earl Lansburg devour raw liver under the leering eyes of previously initiated Bethelites, we discovered that even sophomores can be human, and are already burning the midnight oil (despite dorm council monitors) concocting new and weird methods for torturing next year's crop of lowerclassmen. Our class was organized with Delores Erickson, Wayne Peterson, Herbert Johnson, and John Legget as officers, and frof. Stjernstrom as advisor, and at our class meetings we drew up plans for the many activities which we sponsored. The crowning event of the year was the Junior-Senior banquet, which was held in the college auditorium in honor of the sophomores. Our class was considerably added to by returning servicemen, who quickly took their places in our rnidst. However, we were sorry to lose some of our members. Wayne Peterson and Bob Nyman, to the Army. Bud Siegel to the Coast Guard. Our year at Bethel has left an indelible impression on our minds and hearts and we are thankful for the Christian fellowship as well as instruction, which have helped us to study to show ourselves approved unto God, a workman who needeth not to be ashamed.

Seminary 41 CL SiudsunL (jJhilsLL LiomsL Dear Folks: Something of interest happened on the Campus recently. About two days before our Easter vacation we received some literature in the form of a question mark in our mail boxes. In the bottom of the question mark were the words, “Watch for NAS.” None of us could figure out just what it meant. When we returned to school we had a letter from “Nas” informing us that he was coming. By this time we were all curious as to who this individual was. “Nas” finally did arrive—but, to our surprise, in poster form. There were four pictures, one showing a proud father, with his little baby, one with a boy perfectly natural, another in which one leg of the lad was shorter than the other, and then one in which doctors were trying to pull his leg to the right length. Some tried to make a story out of these pictures, but I must admit that some of us were “in the dark.” Finally a poster was put on the bulletin board informing us about a Student Mass Meeting where we would learn the facts about NAS. The whole school was out to this meeting—and was it a good one! We learned that NAS stands for New Athletic Stadium, and that those posters showed in picture form how our school has grown and developed in every way with the exception of the athletic program. But now, we’re actually on the way! We’ll have that building some day! All the students have decided to support such a work, and during the past weeks most of them signed pledge cards stating that they would pledge either $2.00, $1.50, $1.00 or $.50 per month for five years toward a new stadium. Believe it or not! The students were so enthusiastic about the future of our school that they pledged over $12,000 toward this project. The faculty members arc back of it, too. They have decided to contribute $2,500 even though they arc already giving to a great many things. We arc looking for folks everywhere who will be able to help—it would sure mean a lot to our school. Here’s hoping you can figure out a way of helping, too. With love, M.............. P.S. The school administration and Board arc heartily in accord with the students and have approved their program. 42 We All Agree THAT . .. 1. A good sports background is of great value to the pastor who attempts to give leadership to his young people in organized groups and in camp work. 2. Pastors, too, need to be physically fit in order to stand up under a strenuous program. 3. Our high school students could be greatly influenced in favor of the Christian life by Christian coaches and physical directors whom they admire on the athletic plane. A Bethel man as coach in every high school would be a worthy goal. 4. Young people who should train for Christian leadership have been attracted to non-Christian schools and to compromising schools because of their stronger athletic programs. Now that Bethel is a well-established college, a good athletic program will attract students even after the present demands on schools are relieved. 5. Athletics make school life more interesting and assist in building school spirit. Relaxation is needed with strenuous study. Typical Alumni Expressions PASTOR NED HOLMGREN: “I feel the Alumni Association can do a great deal and will do a great deal. Maybe the matter of a Field House will do something for the Alumni Association. We need something to draw us together. “I know of two young men from our church who this fall are going to another college for the simple reason that they love sports in a real way, and they arc going to a school that will give them the sports they want to participate in. It is a very real thing to any young person going to school. WILLIAM ADAM: “Of course, you all know how I feel about the Field House. I never thought I would stand on the holy grounds of Bethel and talk about a field house. I could name four who are not coming to Bethel because we do not have it now. “My boy is eight years old, and he is in bed sleeping right now. When he wakes up. however, he wakes up with energy to bum. He is full of vigor and what not. If as a parent I do not find some place for him to release that energy, I fail as a parent . . . “Listen! Our young people in our churches—some of you arc pastors—they arc full of energy. I have to say this evening that the problems that the church faces in the present day—well, we always wake up when it is too late. If we do not find avenues to release the energies of these young people— “The world has yet to learn to get along together. I know of no better place where the American youth learns to play and live together than in a gym. I challenge you alumni to unite our forces and use that force to put that program over.” 43 The score or so of student organizations have this year done their best to achieve the goals in keeping with former traditions. Perhaps the most productive and educational means of escape from the dull routine of class work and studies is to be found in being a member of some of the student organizations. On the next few pages are to be found pictures and write-ups dealing with these groups. Talents, whether they be musical, dramatical or literary, can be developed by the willing student who has the fortune of being elected or volunteering as a member in some group. Needless to say, much of Bethel's school life centers around the activities of the following groups. True to democratic principles, the officers and representatives are judged and elected by fellow students and faculty members who consider the candidates from all fair angles. The school is proud of the achievements of the student organizations, and the hundreds of young people who have been members during their school days will not forget the good times and experiences they had while serving a group 45 (IdwwsimswlA 1 Studswt founuL.

The council in its legislative activities was a very effective connecting link between the student body and the members of the faculty and administration. It was very successful in guiding all the student activities and also organizing for the raising of funds for a new field house. Freshmen Week, the all-school Christmas Party, J. S. Banquet, Prexy Mag-nuson's stinging “Clarion article “From Hot Dogs to Diplomas were highlights of the year. Democracy was established and maintained because the council consisted of a representative from each of the student organizations.

The activities were three-fold. Noon prayer meetings, ably led by campus leaders, were held every day. The fellows and girls prayed separately. Gospel teams were organized, and carried the Message to missons, churches, and the Christian Cheer Center. Great spiritual blessings were brought through the evening prayer meetings. God's presence was deeply felt, as students prayed for a revival. By the end of the year the attendance had grown from a mere handful to a filled chapel every evening. The Religious Council officers were: President, Irwin Bjelland Vice President, Maurice Lundh Secretary, Ruth Rask Treasurer, Raymond Larson Advisor, Anton Pearson Left to Right:—Ruth Rask, Prof. Pearson, Irwin Bjelland, Maurice Lundh, Ray Larson. 47 (Bsdh L (jJomsma, CfAAOUcdwtL At the beginning of the school year all the new girls were officially welcomed into the Bethel Women's Association, the purpose of which is to develop spiritually, intellectually and socially. All girls, faculty women and wives attended the meetings and monthly parties held in the lounge of the Girls' Dormitory. Newcomers or little sisters became acquainted and accustomed to college life through their big sisters who were girls from last year. With the addition of the new wing, the Girls' Dormitory now accommodates about 100 girls, and the officers of the Association received much assistance in planning the meetings. Miss E. Nelson, Dean of Women, acted as advisor for the group, and offered many helpful suggestions.

The girls were trained and directed under the supervision of Prof. Nels Stjernstrom, our talemed director of music. Several chapel services were much improved by the musical presentations of the chorus, and they also sang in some Twin City churches and at the Saturday night singspirations. Practices and rehearsals were climaxed by a five-day tour through Iowa to Chicago. We congratulate our girls on their very successful tour and fine musical programs.

After the breathless excitement of tryouts, the fellows started practicing seriously every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon, and soon were singing at chapel services, banquets and in several of the Twin City churches. The fellows, impressive in their dark suits, visited conference churches in towns outside of St. Paul, and a trip was planned to sing in some of the churches of the neighboring states.

Up to now we have welcomed thirty-two veterans, many of whom were Bethel students before serving in the Armed Forces, while several are just beginning their studies. The Athletic Departments and the Male Chorus have increased considerably this last year. Welcome to Bethel, fellows, we are proud of the job you have done so well. fcx -§ hvk msin. 53 Mos: of our Seminary men were busy on week-ends and Sundays holding services in country and local churches. Some had regular pastorates, while many traveled from church to church preaching the gospel to those who have not constant access to the fine churches and auditoriums of the larger cities. God has greatly blessed our young men in their work, and we should continue to pray that they may profit from this valuable experience. Student (paAhfiA. Top row, left to right—L. Sprcchcr, B.

Most of us here at Bethel had the privilege of working. in one of the nine gospel teams which were under the supervision of the religious council. The gospel teams visited many of Minnesota's missions, churches, and homes to tell the wondrous story of the Christ who died for -as. Many souls were also won in the Fort Snelling Cheer Center, to which a team went every Wednesday night. Gospel team work gave us the chance to tell the story of salvation to those around us and also offered practical experience in leadership. 1 Cor. 9:16. For if 1 preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; for woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel. Rom. 1:16.

The season opened with the Round-Robin Tournament during which eight debaters participated in two rounds of controversy for the purpose of choosing a varsity squad. The results were teams Christenson-Germany, Brown-Decker. Although the exigencies of reconversion made it impossible for the Bethel squad to participate in out-of-siate debates, its members were not idle. Several invitational meets were held with the University of Minnesota and other local colleges. Inter-squad debating was also a frequent exercise. The focal point of attention was the question, Resolved: That the foreign policy of the United States be directed towards the establishment of free trade among the nations of the world. Highlight of the year's work was attendance at the Northwest Debate Tournament, a widely publicized invitational. Meeting competition of a superior caliber, the varsity debaters were rewarded with many ratings of excellence plus invaluable experience. Under the coaching of LaVone Berthel, the team is looking forward to new victories and an enlarged program in the season to follow.

Missionary interest and vision were promoted by the monthly Band meetings they had in which various members testified as to their calls into foreign mission service and speakers and Christian movies were also featured. In the beginning of the year an entire week was devoted to missionary interest, and we had the opportunity to hear many inspiring speakers from the mission field. In addition to their work in promoting interest in foreign missions, study groups and prayer meetings were organized to increase interest in local mission endeavors such as Child Evangelism, and there was a program of cooperation with work of this type in other schools. A financial campaign was launched this year to raise money to purchase moving picture equipment for four of our missionaries. This group has sponsored a great work here at Bethel and we know that during this year our interest in the preaching of the gospel has grown through their efforts. 60 awL icacpL alL mdionA-.

The following pages present in pictures and writeups some of the athletic teams and their achievements of which we are proud. With the added athletic talent of returning servicemen there is a growing and greater demand for more training facilities. Under the auspices of the Student Council, plans are being made to raise several thousand dollars for a new athletic stadium. NAS is a growing and developing project, thanks to the cooperation of the faculty, students, and friends. The tendency towards better and faster teams has grown rapidly, and next year we hope to see it progress by leaps and bounds. 63 TYIsma, iBojJisdbcdL The Bethel gym was again a scene of bustling activity as Coach Edwards ran the bucket-men through their paces. The Indians, under Chief Peterson, were successful in holding their own against opposing teams. Uncle Sam enlisted the services of Captain Peterson, Bud Siegel and Bob Nyman, all first year men. Thanks to the sharpshooting and brilliant passing of our team they soon were acclaimed winners of the Southern Minnesota Championship. At all home games and at many played in the cities our fellows were cheered on by the students led by a powerful Rooters Squad. The spirit of confidence and the well developed cc-operation proved that the team spent plenty of time in practice and training. With the aid of experienced men returning, next year should bring out a No. 1 team. Good Luck. Captain Wayne Peterson Fighting for the Southern Minnesota Championship Standing—B. Sandin, W.

All in all, the team showed a consistent spirit of co-operation as they worked together in achieving this year's tine record. With Paul Edwards again coaching the girls' team, the 1946-47 season should rival this year's successes. Captain—Delores Erickson Row 1. L. Raymctz, P. Widen, D. Grobc, D. Erickson, D. Richcrt, C.

Pete and his long reach The Bethel baseball team organized under Coach Edwards had a very satisfactory season. Chief Bob Sandin led his fellow Indians through several closely contested games. Bob led the batting list with .356 with Bill Peterson and Carl Olson a close .353 and .343. The fellows' greatest needs were opportunities and facilities for more and concentrated training. Plenty of good talent should be available next year and we hope they will be as successful as the 46 Indians. Pitcher and captain Bob Sandin 66 An inside glimpse of school life is to be seen in the following pages. It is certainly the activities of the student body which create and maintain the school spirit. Many are the times we as students have been thankful for the faculty-sponsored parties and the good times we have had. Needless to say along with the fun and parties, we have had times of close Christian fellowship. Nowhere else but in a school like Bethel does a student have the opportunities for Christian training under experienced authorities and Christian growth through association with devoted students. We have strived through our fun, studies and activities to live for Christ an unselfish life of useful service. 67 CldtwiiisiA 9nJtdALg MJL The following students have been elected by the school body to represent the five characteristics of a good all round student.
