Reaching the four-year mark, we, as seniors, look back upon years of influence. We see them as a time of spiritual. social and intellectual grov th in which our ideas, ideals, and whole outlook on the world around us have been subject to chango. And. not only has Bethel loft an impression upon us; we have also loft our mark upon Bethel. We have given ol ourselves in all phases of campus activity, and in many areas leadership has been drawn from our number. We turn now to the future, feeling better equipped to face it because we possess a Christian education. 86 BAILEY ANDERSON Sociology Glendale. Mo. ELOISE ANDERSON iMerature Chicago. III.

We have made significant decisions this year, especially our choice of majors and minors. And yot, though we have studied the more purposefully as our vocation in life has become clearer to us, we have not neglected to combine with it the many co-curricular activities. The biggest job that faced us during the year was sponsoring the annual Junior-Senior banquet. Other class activities included our class project, a clothing drive for Indians in the northorn part of tho state, and the Sophomore-Junior retreat at Camp St. Croix.

As sophomores, most of us came back thi3 fall with a determination to make our second year count for more than our first, especially scholastically. Perhaps it was a year of waking up to what real education is — learning to think for ourselves. Activity-wise, under the leadership of president Gleiui Ogren, our class sponsored Nik Dag and the lunior-Sophomoie retreat. The main class project was paying for the new pulpit in the college chapel. SOPHOMORES CAROLYN ANDERSON Wauk� 93B. 01. CLARENCE ANDERSON Sll whUI. Ala JANET ANDERSON SI. Raul. Kina.

We look back a little regretfully upon these seven years of preparation but forward eagerly to years of concentrated Christian service. This year has brought difficulties for all of us. Finances have had to bo worked out as well as study time provided. Much of our spare timo wo have spent in practical training through Gospel teams, Sunday school and church work, and student pastorates.
