At Bethel the dormitories are much more than places to live. Prayer meetings, bull sessions, bath- tub parties, and ping-pong tournaments make them the scenes of continual activity. The over two hundred fellows, girls, and mar- ried couples residing at the Edgren, Bodien, and Hagstrom dorms experience yearly that man does not live to himself alone. And so, the dormi- tories play a very singular role at Bethel in the formation of mature Christian character. , . .37 1 .gin , Q W, x,,e.,..,x Q ' x 'Q . .

During this span Dr. Wingblade has come to personify the attitude, the goal, the achieve- ments, and the character of Bethel. His attitude has been one of selfless service with a certain degree of the fear of God in view of the many and frequent respons- ibilities. His long range and short range goals have all sparked with a zeal that in all things Christ may be pre-eminent. Directly and indirectly due to his efforts and example, Bethel has sent out a continuous stream of Christian leaders better equipped than they would be, had they not been influenced by him. President Wingblade has aptly demonstrated to his many contacts in and out of Bethel what are the cardinal elements of Christian character - love, humility, faith, holiness, and truth. 6 In Ilwsv zrlm svl'H'1l :rv lll'llfl'l'lfl' . . . Dean C. EMANUEL CARLSON Dean Carlson is a person Bethel is proud and sorry to lose. Having for twenty-six years represented the interests of about fifty thousand Baptists in the education of future leaders, he, this year, began to represent the interests of seventeen million Baptists to the nation's leaders. We are justly proud of having him a part of us for so long. In all this there is a note of regret. Bethel has stood to lose in Dean Carlson's terminating for interruptingj his career of Christian scholarship. His service in the progress of Bethel and the molding of Christian leadership is undeniable, his counsel in assisting men and women to find their places in the will of God has been of infinite worth. And so, as Dean C. Emanuel Carlson has been God's man in this place for twenty-six years, we are confident he is now God's man in his new post. A 'wqe-.,, v DR. G. A. HAGSTROM It is so seldom that many of us chance to cross paths with true greatness. Wfe have seen in our late president emeritus, Dr. G. Arvid Hagstrom, a great man and a great soul. His life has been spent in tireless efforts for the kindgdom of God, his memory shall be priceless in the minds of those he influenced toward that king- dom and its work. His ambitions, his devotion, labors, beliefs, hopes, and anxieties have but indicated a heart's response to the call of the ages, Follow Me. And so, for Dr. Hagstrom, the time we've known him, his life, his memory, we have been greatly enriched and soberly say, Thank you, God. . . . in lelzelilurqy ROBERT BRUCATO The Apostle said, How unspeakable are His judgments and His ways past finding out. Still our hearts were filled with a measure of sorrow at the passing of our friend and fellow classmate, Bob Brucato. It will be impossible for many of us to forget his example of spirit- ual fervor and constant willingness to serve. His sweet Christian spirit shall long continue to reflect itself in those he has met and in- fluenced.

The national topic for the year was Resolved: that the United States should adopt a pol- icy of free trade. Under the capable direction of Mr. Grabill, the squad debated with others of leading col- leges and universities across the nation and attended tournaments throughout the midwest Besides the hon- ors in debate, various others were brought home in ora- tory, extemporaneous speaking, discussion, folk-lore, after-dinner speeches, and poetry reading.

Under the direction of Mr. Nels Stjernstrom, the group was ready to make its first appearance at the end of November. Throughout the year the Chorus was featured at several of the churches in the twin cities and also par- ticipated in school events such as the Christmas program and the spring con- cert. In the spring the Chorus purchased robes, and the year was climaxed by a week's tour of upper Michigan the last of April. Mr. Stjernslrorn directs the rehearsal. .9 W :Q .. 5 , I hi' sg . A V ar a.

The Chapel Choir got off to a good start in its sixth season with thirty-seven carefully selected members. Under the direction of Mr. C. Howard Smith, the Choir made its first public appearance at the Homecoming festivities October 10. Through- out the year it presented four area concerts in Minnesota churches as well as par- ticipating in the various school programs. The climax of the choir year was the tour of the Pacific Northwest in April. Their two-week's trip took them through North Dakota, Montana, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, South Dakota, and back to Minnesota for the anticlimax of a successful year. MALE QUARTET: left to right: 1.

The plans are Frank Shinda, the Spire . . . Last fall several different ideas of what a yearbook ought to be began to converge and compromise into your 1954 Spire. There were times during the year when the situation was pretty discouraging. Heartless deadlines had to be met, and it was a continuous struggle to get pictures taken and copy written on time. The whole staff was relieved when the book was finally sent to the publishers. This year the staff has worked chiefly for origin- ality. The shape of the book was changed for this purpose, and originality was the keynote of the lay- out and copy. We, the staff, have tried to make this Spire a complete story of life at Bethel during '55-'54. Barbara and Marlys do the planning. cherkedbyAnnBeard, BUSINESS STAFF d D '.

Probably the first social contact that many of the Freshman girls had with Bethel this year was a letter from their Big Sisl' - a B.W.A. girl who was acquainting her pro- tege with college life. Later they joined the Bethel Women's Associa- tion for themselves. Once a month they met with the other women stu- dents and faculty wives for a time of fellowship. The type of pro- grams varied throughout the year. Those who had dedicated them- selves to foreign missionary service found a congeniality of interests in the Foreign Missions Fellowship, Members of the Fellowship conduct- ed the Foreign Missions 'Week and promoted the 38,500 missions goal. They also found an opportunity for service in going, in gospel teams, to surrounding churches and present- ing missionary programs. to - A M 3, K' x X ng 3 MARRIED COUPLES' DORMITORY COUNCIL Lefl to right: Frank Doten, vite-presidentf Mrs. ' . 3 .

' ,, , A 4 5 FRED THOMAS Due to the loss of most of last year's veterans through graduation and transfer, the Bethel football team suffered a poor season as far as the win column was concerned. A small squad al- ready hurt by injuries started the season against Wahpeton Science of North Dakota. As the in- juries mounted throughout the next few games the load fell onto the shoulders of inexperienced freshmen. The spirit of the team was high considering the discouraging results, but it was not enough to make up for the physical qualities that the team lacked. The best game of the season was the final one against Northern Michigan, which -could have been won with a little more bench strength. The return of Coach Lynn Lundin from the army, where he served as playing ,line coach,was a boast to the team. With his coaching and the return of several players who have gained a year of playing experience, the prospects for next year look much brighter.

Coach Del Ray coaches: Lynn Lundin and Del Ray Peterson The high scoring forward of last year s strong team, Paul Redm, led the Bethel basketball team to an average season against superior competition. The all around floor play of the team was brilliant although not sufficient to overcome their lack of height. The v1c tory over Mayville, who had lost only one game previously, was the climax of the season. With four of the starters returning the team looks forward to a more successful season next year. Del Ray Peter- son, athletic director, also served as basketball coach.
