A year of study, of happy fellowship, of learning while serving. A year in which we worked for Jesus and He worked in us. A year in which we bacamc more His and His will became more of a reality in our lives. Green trees changed to yellow and soon, it seemed, we hurried out with cameras to get pictures of the first snow. The campus draped in white was a memory we took with us on Christmas Vacation and now once more the soft brown earth shows. Pictures and words can only give a faint idea of the way a year at Bethel has widened the horizon of our minds, tho joy of talk over coffee , or tho fun of cheering for the team at a game. Pictures and words can't reproduce our concerts, our chapel programs, our plays, busy committee meetings, and classes. A year at Bethel — for some the last. Now they will go forth as Bethel graduates and find in new paths the truths they discovered here — how God's hands work with our hands to make the life He has in mind.

P09e 6 herever students gather to discuss their days at Bethel, it is almost certain that the name of Miss Effie Nelson will be mentioned as a favorite teacher. Her quick wit and humor have won for her a place in the hearts of all students in her German classes who appreciate her both as a real friend and able teacher. In her capacity as Dean of Women, Miss Nelson has shown by her friendly manner in counselling and advising that the girls on Bethel's campus are her girls . Even in matters of necessary discipline the girls have found her to be most considerate and fair in her decisions. These friendly qualities, coupled with a clear and warm Christian testimony at all times, whether in class or in the CofFee Shop, have endeared Miss Nelson to all of her students and faculty colleagues. Her faithful service and willingness to cooperate in any way possible with the campus activities of her students have been a constant reminder and challenge to others that Miss Nelson leaves little to be desired as a Christian teacher. Therefore, we lovingly dedicate the 1951 SPIRE to our friend and teachor. Miss Effie V. Nelson. Effie V. Nelson Ill 'The Coll ecje % flU e Pago 'Jhe Dolmitolies Elmin Forssell IN MEMORIAM This year another student has been called home from our campus. Our hearts were left sorrowing at the passing of our friend and fellow classmate, Elmin Forssell. We shall always remember his outstanding talents which included a beautiful voice and superior mind. We recall that his whole being was a perfection of God's creative power. Reason prohibits our understanding God's choice in calling when Elmin was on the brink of a life of service. The Psalmist has said, As for God, His way is perfect . Wo imbed Elmin's memory in our hearts as a channel where God leads to greater paths of service. “3or we are Mis workmanship created in Christ Jesus unto good works....” Ephesians 2:10 Administration aAPTIST !BstLf £ % and Seminara WlUWrO uo ASUNiIO-1 AVIWVU SAINT PAW «.

Having worked hard for four years toward an objective upon which all energies were focussed, they arrived only to find that graduation did not produce those overwhelming delights which had been anticipated. There was neither a pot of gold nor a haven of peace at the end of the rainbow. Upon graduation, however, I wish each of you the satisfaction of a realization that you are equipped for more work and for harder work than you were when you started your college career. If, in addition, you have found a sense of direction in life, a sense of obligation and dependence, which calls for the full use of your capacities, your college days will have been worthwhile. Growth is a divine law and a divine method. This law ends at the grove, and not at commencement. When you have explored the Lord's potentials and the Lord's imperatives, you are ready for service. DEAN OF THE SEMINARY EDWIN J. OMARK A good minister of Jesus Christ. These words of the Apostle Paul express an ideal and a challenge to every Seminary student. You Seniors who go directly into pastoral or missionary work will particularly sense a burden of responsibility, than which there is none greater. To win and watch over the souls of men, this is your task. Bring to it your deep devotion, sanctified gifts and trained minds. Seek not ease nor the praise of men but only the will of God. Then He will bless your ministry, and those of us who have our posts of duty here at Bethel will pray and cheer you on. Pogc 15 H.

Both Dean Carlson and President Wingblade gave talks aimed at giving the new students advice for a good start. Gene Johnson enriched his messages by his original chalk drawings. As guest speaker Roger Youngquist, a former Bethelite and present General Conference pastor, had much of help and inspiration to offer. Upperclassmen under the chairmanship of Jim Rentz had planned a full schedule. Testimony meetings and the Sunday afternoon panel discussion gave Bethel newcomers a chance to hear what their new friends were thinking and an active sports and social program helped them get thoroughly acquainted. Saturday night's fun night featured a play Little Nell with such stars as Ronnie Johnson as Nell and Al Windham as hero. At the candlelight testimony service one new student after another testified how God had brought them to Bethel and told something of what they know He wanted to do with their lives.

Edwin Orr as our deep life speaker from September 25-29. The religious council chose II Chronicles 7:14 for the theme of the week and an air of expectancy awaited the Irish-born evangelist. Dr. Orr in a past visit to Bethel in the Spring of 1949, had seen what he believed to be the beginning of a student revival movement which is still active in the Christian and secular schools of our country. Revival was a pertinent thing to Dr. Orr and he had much of significance to soy about it both as a current movement and as something pertinent to our individual lives. Page 69 Host and Hostess ’50 HOME A pudgy Indian Squasv stood outside her tent on the lawn of Bodien Residence destined to win tho dorm decoration award for the girls. Transformed cars encircled the red brick buildings. Bethel's Homecoming for 1951 was well under way. The night before. Host and Hostess Howard Carlson ond Florence Nordstrom had welcomed returning alumni at a program where Missionary Dale Bjork, then recently returned from China, talked on the state of the church there. The Junior class added to the China interest by a skit depicting the struggle of a young Chinese student with Communism. Pago 70 COMING A bonfire and pep rally had preparea all for the afternoon's football game where Bethel beat Northland 13 to 7. Members of chapel choir went home victorious on two accounts, as they bore away the float trophy. Saturday evening's meeting introduced Bethelites to a trio they were to hear much of in the year to come—Valdeko Kangro, Kaljo Raid, and Mildred Bisgrove. Stanley Paulson gave the message of the evening. The alumni lost to the varsity in the basketball game which followed. Students did all they could to give the alumni a homecoming that would live up to its theme, For His Glory. Pago Boys Dorm Girls Dorm — First Prize Page 72 Dale Bjork Stanley Paulson Bethel Male Quartet Poge 73 Courier Quartet Pcgo 74 FACULTY RECITAL The entire Bethel family had the rare privilege of enjoying an evening of chamber music Friday, November Third, which was presented by a new ensemble on campus composed of members of the Bethel faculty. Selections by Buxtehude, Hyndel, Brahms and an original composition by Mr. Raid were given. We thank God for these artists and consider ourselves fortunate to have their talent in our midst. Page 75 THE SERVANT IN THE HOUSE The Junior Class presentation for this year was a three-act play v ritten by Charles Rann Kennedy. The setting — England, the date — the early 1900's, the time — an early morning in Spring. The story centered around Manson, a butler in the home of Reverend Willicm Smythe, and the incidents which led to the strange reunion of three brothers. Under the capable direction of Miss Rusinko, and with the fine acting of the cost, The Servant in the House was enjoyed by all. The cast included Arnold Regier, Willard Hed-berg, Ann Radunz, Mary Quernemoen, Don Barnhill, Don Lindgren, and Tom Persson. Miss Susan Rusinko Poge 77 STUDENT FELLOWSHIP FRESHMAN BANQUET The freshmen turned out in good number for their big night of the year. The dining hall took on a new festive air as their dinner began. Jim Rentz was borrowed from the Seminary for Master of Ceremonies. Speaker for the evening was Myron Voth of the St. Paul Bible Institute who gave a stirring message woven around the theme the freshmen had chosen: Wo Are His Workmanship . Vocal and instrumental music was provided by members of the freshman class. Pat Noland and Don Richardson put their best dramatic selves into their different readings. Those who attended reported a refreshing spiritual time as a result of their getting together. One of the highlights of the student fellowship meetings this year wes the program presented by the Palermo Brothers. Louie and Phil sang many favorite hymns in English, Swedish and Italian, and their selections on the accordion and guitar were enjoyed by everyone. They had many interesting stories to tell of their experiences in Italy where they had recently conducted an evangelistic tour. Those who attended re ccived a blessing and saw the need of that country which is so hungry for the marvelous message of Jesus Christ. There were many other interesting and inspirational student meetings. Several outstanding films were presented during the year's activities, including Lord of All and John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress . Page 80 The December meeting of the Swedish Club wos an evening of music featuring a trio and a quartet from the second year Swedish class. Axel Bjurholm who had just come from Sweden gave a short talk on the country and its people. A candlelight Smorgasbord ended the evening which was enjoyed by everyone who attended. CHRISTMAS PARTIES Featured at the German Club Christmas party was a newly formed German band. Christmas carols were sung by the entire club and special vocal numbers were presented. Hannah Plaut told of her childhood Christmas experiences in Germany. The meeting was closed by the singing of Stillc Nacht accompanied by Hannah and her guitar. Lunch was served in the dining hall. After a delicious lunch around gaily decorated tables, the Spanish Club had their Christmas party in the recreation room of the Men's Dorm. Vocal music was given by a quartet. A Christmas skit, in Spanish, was presented by several members of the club. Christmas carols were sung and as a climox to the meeting, the Pinata was broken, and the scattered candy on the floor was quickly picked up by the group. RETREAT Pofl 82 Camp Iduhapi saw a new, but never a jollier bunch of sophomores, as another class arrived on a cold January day for their annual retreat. Especially ambitious, this robust lot walked the last mile in the snow dragging their suitcases behind them. The theme: That I May Know Him was made a realization as classmates worshipped and fellow-shipped together. Messages were brought by Warren Magnuson, guest speaker. Skating, skiing, tobogganing were the sports of the dcy. Morning devotions and vesper services provided the spiritual background. Al Windham presided as master of ceremonies at a talent program Saturday night. Besides the varied vocal and instrumental numbers, Warren Magnuson delighted everyone with a humorous reading in which he portrayed a Negro preacher being ordained. Sophomores all agreed that it had been a refreshing time from which they could return with new vigor to books and things like that . Poqe 83 Top to bottom: Sten lindbcrg, Dole Bjork, August Berg, Bengt Anderson, Eric Frykenberg. Missionary Week at Bethel turned our eyes to foreign fields — India, Japan, China — white for the harvest. By films, by displays, by messages from recently returned workers, we were once more made awore that the gospel of Christ was for all the world. Making up a versatile band of missionaries were August Berg, Sten Lindberg, Eric Frykenberg, Dale Bjork and Bengt Anderson. These men from many different fields found time not only to speak in chapel and evening services, but also to hold conferences about missionary work with individuals and groups. Dale Bjork gave a realistic but challenging picture of China and the effects of Communism in this field. All the missionaries were intensely aware of the part missions was playing and the part it could play in current world affairs. Much practical advice was given for those considering the foreign field or any Christian service — advice which was essentially what we needed to die to self and live every moment for Christ and His work. MISSIONARY EMPHASIS WEEK Pogo 84 FOUNDERS WEEK Top to bottom: Dr. Perry, Dr. Roddy, Rev. Wilcox, Dr. Romm, Dr. Lindsell. Pastors and laymen from coast to coast, including some well-known seminary professors, flocked to Bethel's halls for the Founder's Week program celebrating the Seminary's eightieth year. The dotes chosen coincided with the birthday of John Alexis Edgren, founder of the Seminary. Representing other seminaries v ere Dr. Clorence Roddy of Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary, Philadelphia; Dr. Harold Lindsell of Fuller Theological Seminary, Pasadena; and Dr. Lloyd Perry of Northern Baptist Seminary, Chicago. Former president of the Northern Baptist Convention, Earl V. Pierce, was also among the speakers. Two speakers familiar to Bethelites were Curtis Akenson and Sten Lindberg. Ed Nelson represented God's Invasion Army and Arthur Christenson the work of the Baptist General Conference in California. Bethel professors who took part were Bernard Ramm and Clifford Larson. Dr. Ramm gave the message on the theme which had been chosen for the week, Remember Jesus Christ . With such men of God as these, the days could not help but be a time of inspiration and renewed consecration for the many pastors and Christian workers who attended. Pog� 85 DEEPER LIFE WEEK Rev. Carl H. Lundquist Coming to Bethel as a familiar speaker Carl Lundquist left his busy Chicago pastorate to be the Spring Deeper Life Week speaker. Mid-quarters wore postponed as students made time in their schedules to attend the meetings. Much prayer was made before the week began, including an all school prayer meeting, asking that God would speak to many hearts. Rev. Lundquist portrayed a real understanding of young people and their problems and tried to meet them in his daily chapel and vesper talks. In a humble and direct way he met many of the student's spiritual needs. Many students took advantage of the opportunity to have prayer with Rev. Lundquist and profited by his personal counsel. Many expressed the joy of finding a deeper life in Christ.

A mobile unit for drawing the blood was set up by a staff of Red Cross workers on that day. Work began for them about 9 A.M. and ended after 3:30 in the afternoon. A physician was on hand to examine the donors and determine whether or not it would be advisable for them to give blood. A hemoglobin test was taken to eliminate prospective donors who showed a tendency toward anemia. In all, seventy pints of blood were given. Within forty-eight hours the donations were on their way to our fighting men at the battle front in Korea. Page 159 President Wingblade, Dr. W. F. Widen and Mr. Wyman Malmsten at Centennial banquet which launched Bethel's newest building program. Construction will begin this spring on the Chapel-Administration building and the long-awaited Field House. THANK YOU This is the last page of the 1951 SPIRE and before we write finis to this volume, we want to express our thanks to all those who helped in its production. Besides tho students listed on the staff roster, many people gave necessary help in making this SPIRE possible. Mr. Seaberg of the Revere Advertising Co. and Mr. Wagner of Lakeland Color Press deserve special thanks for their utmost patience and helpful assistance in organizing our book. We also want to recognize Mr. Lawson, our advisor, for his cooperation and advice when needed. The class photographs were by Mr. Clarence Larson of the Larson Studio who proved to be a real help and never complained when he was rushed to complete our work. So here is the story of the 1950-51 school year at Bethel. May everybody, whether they buried themselves in books all year or spent their nights in the Coffee Shop, open this yearbook some day and say, that was a wonderful year! THE SPIRE STAFF Page 160
