iips s  v. PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF BETHEL COLLEGE and SEMINARY ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA ... 1 957 Serving not only students but many Twin City pastors as well, is THE LIBRARY. Several, new features have increased its service facilities this year. 4 Oldest building on campus is THE SEMINARY. The building gives double duty with the top floor serving as dorm space while lower floors are classrooms. 5 Scene of many events both serious and hilarious, is THE FIELDHOUSE. Often housing screaming basketball fans, it may also be a place of quiet meditation. A typical after-dinner scene is created by this group of students relaxing in front of the fireplace in Bodien residence. Evening and new-fallen snow create a homey effect along DORMITORY ROW. Driving north on Snelling Avenue, one's first glimpse of Bethel includes the college building, the library, and the seminary. 8 Wm CONTENTS CAMPUS VIEWS ....................... 4 ACADEMIC .......................... 10 CLASSES ........................... 30 GROUPS ............................ 68 ATHLETICS ......................... 90 ACTIVITIES ........................110 ADVERTISING .......................132 INDEXES ...........................154 9 Quality Keynoted ... CARL H. LUNDQU1ST President Carl H. Lundquist, third president of Bethel College and Seminary, finds the creative and imaginative leadership of both students and faculty impressive. Equally impressed are the students and faculty by his able leadership. Under his supervision a program of constructive student leadership has developed. Spearheaded in the new office of the Dean of Students it has been reflected in a genuine interest on the part of the students themselves through the innovation of the Student Leadership Conference and the persistent emphasis among student leaders to relate campus life to the spiritual objectives of the school. The faculty, also, has been engaging in a serious effort to continue to improve the quality of the program offered. Regular sessions conducted by the faculty on The Improvement of Instruction and the many self study committees that have been at work this last year are expressions of a healthy faculty concern. It is developments like these that will give enduring significance to President Lundquist's leadership and the work of the current school year. Pictured here with Student Senate President, Gionn Ogren, President Lundquist gives some helpful advice about the senate constitution. 12 Guidance Provided Students have lots of problems and Bethel employs four deans to help them iron them out.

Bursar. 15 Diagnoses Reached Frustrated indeed are beginning students whose first perusal of psychology leads them to discover abnormal tendencies in themselves; each day brings a new diagnosis. However, a more careful study helps them to understand idiosyncrasies and behaviors in themselves and other human beings. Through psychological tests and experiments, upper division students become more acquainted with the problems of guidance and understanding. ROYAL BLOOM M.A. Head ot Psychology Department Psychology.

Responsibilities Reversed Equipped with determination, wavering confidence, and a frozen smile, the student teacher faces his first class. This chance to put theory into practice is offered at Bethel for the first time this year through new courses in educational methods and a student teaching program. Also possible through the new program is a four-yoar course in secondary education. Graduating seniors following this plan may obtain a Minnesota state teacher's certificate. Innovations Made Incoherent mumblings sounding strangely like Balboa, Leo I, or The Battle of Bunker Hill are now heard during the spring as graduating history majors bone up for their oral comprehensives. Begun last spring the com-prehensives do not decide who does or does not get a degree, but they are an experiment to see how much is being accomplished in the history department. New and fairly popular in this department is a long desired political science major. Mr. Waltzed Petersen (middle) welcomes Eugene McCarthy. Democrat incumbent (left) and his Republican opponent.

But literature, too, may be a valuable asset. Great philosophers have often been the best writers of their day and a study of their works is important in intellectual development. The literature student at Bethel is especially encouraged to find and evaluate the suggestions English literature gives to life problems. GERALD W. HEALY M A.

Speech Junior Class Advisor LEE KINGSLEY B.A.. B.D. Debote Friendly and informal is Dr. Paul Grabill as he sits atop the desk during a class discussion. New Room Added Sometimes tricky to the beginning speech student is the art of remembering the motivated sequence while at the same time keeping good audience contact. Once this is learned the student becomes more concerned with improving his voice or making his arguments more cogent. Aiding in practicing both speeches and debates is the new communication room below the student center. Here students may play back their own speeches without outside interference. 19 David o. moberg Ph.D. Sociology GEORGE J. JENNINGS BETTY DANIELSON B.D., M.A. m.A. Geograhy , Anthropology Social Work Cultures Introduced A world of continuums, cultures, and values is introduced in the social sciences. Research projects, case studies, and practical work in planning programs for specific groups introduce upper division students to the perlexities of inter-group relations. Visits to institutions point out problems encountered in social work. Encouraged, also, is attendance at various meetings in the Twin Cities. Here students may profit from the ideas and concepts of experienced personnel in these fields. V. ELVING ANDF.RSON. Ph.D. Head ot Biology Department.

Sophomore Advisor Ambition Rewarded Anyone ambitious enough to mount the stairs to the third floor of the college building is usually greeted by the unmistakable odor of formaldehyde. Though unappreciated by the olfactory organs this preservant is necessary if one wishes to truly appreciate the intricacies of nature. Through laboratory experiments, field trips, and class lectures science students learn more about themselves and the natural world around them. Besides learning special skills such as dissection, these students learn skills in observation through microscope practice and other laboratory work. Studies in the scientific method showing the insistence of science upon fact aid them in critical thinking. HOWARD DINSMORE Ph.D. Chomisiry. Physical Science ROBERT J.

Important in this growing department is a new major in church music. Plans for next year include a major in music education. A collection of paintings done by Gene Johnson while on his sabbatical leave to Mexico last year beautified the walls of the student center last fall. Art students this year are benefiting from the techniques Mr. Johnson learned v hile he was gone. PIIILLIP GUSTAFSON M. Mu . Voice, Piano HELEN KENNEDY M.A. Music History.

Head of Philosophy Department Philosophy. Bible. Senior Advisor CLARENCE B. BASS Ph.D. Bible. Philosophy. Theology, Freshman Advisor. F.M.F. Philosophies Evaluated Worrying about universals or undistributed middles may seem absurd to beginning logicians. However, once one has mastered the routines of syllogistic reasoning he is better able to understand basic philosophical concepts. The upper division student of philosophy comes to know and evaluate some of the world's foremost attitudes toward life. His own philosophy becomes more important and an appreciation of the wide variety of philosophic concepts commences. CLIFFORD E. ANDERSON Ph.D. Bible. Religious Education Practical Work Provided Twin City churches provide the setting for much practical work done in connection with Religious Education courses. Each student chooses the type of work such as visitation, or Sunday School teaching, in which he is most interested. The department then finds a church that has an opening in the field of his choice. Courses are designed for personal development as well as acquaintance with the Bible and problems of religious education. ESTHER SABEL Ph.B., M.R.E. Bible.

Although these departments stress reading fluency, emphasis is also placed on composition and conversation. Language records are available in the library listening rooms to clarify pronunciation problems. Important also is the study of geography, customs, and literature. DEL RAY PETERSON M.A. Head of Physical Education Department Physical Education, Athletics Members of this girFs gym class play a vigorous game of volleyball. Muscles sTrained Much limping is seen especially among the girls on campus soon after the beginning of the fall quarter. It really isn't too alarming, however, when one remembers that during the first few days of phy. ed. the student finds many muscles she didn't know she had. With the new courses added during the last two years a third year in physical education is possible. LYNN LUNDIN B.A. Physical Education Athletic Council Advisor 25 EDWIN OMARK Th.B.. B.A.. B.D., M.

Efforts of the faculty to improve the curriculum program culminated in the seminary's becoming an associate member of the American Association of Theological Schools. The first of an annual lecture series as a memorial to Adolf Olson, who for forty years v as a faculty member, was given last fall. Dr. George Ladd of Fuller Theological Semii nary brought the week of lectures on The Kingdom of God to appreciative pastors and visitors from other seminaries as well as Bethel Seminary students and faculty members.

Probably the visualization of multitudinous papers to be completed within four years makes this course a most popular one in the business department. But students with vocational aspirations of becoming church secretaries or missionaries, as well as those planning business careers, often find these courses valuable when they consider the growing need for trained business personnel in these areas. MARINA AXEEN M.S.. Ml.S. . Librarian Services Increased Whether he prefers Kierkegaard or the Saturday Evening Post, sooner or later every Bethel student makes his way to the library. This year the student found several new features, including open reserves in the reading room, separate rooms for listening to music and language records, typing rooms, and a record lending service. To accommodate the growing education department, space has been provided for high school texts which student teachers use for curriculum planning. By constantly building its collection of books, the library staff aims to increase its service ta students and faculty . 28 Health, Happiness Preserved Mrs. Mae Christianson end Mrs. Wallred Peierson chat with Betty Johnson, Pearl Hintz, and Marlene Hawkinson at the Freshman Reception.

Class officers: John Borg, president; Lowell Gcrdncr. treasurer; Mary Lou Rpycraft, secretary; Nils Friberg, vice president. To the freshman four years seem an eternity, but the senior marvels that the time could pass so quickly. For the class of 1957 it has been a time of change. During their four years the campus itself has changed: the college chapel had a face-lifting, tennis courts were added, and new additions were begun for the dormitories. Enrollment also increased; additions v ere made to the faculty and staff, and several new majors were offered. But most of all the student changes. Maturation of thought begins, and lifetime interests and friendships commence. RICHARD ANDRE Broadview.

Important decisions arc required of the college junior. Significant among these is the choice of a mojor and minor. Lifetime vocations become clearer and consequently studies become more meaningful. Co-curricular activities, too, take on more significance and one chooses those activities in which he is most interested. Most important this year was the sponsoring of the Junior-Senior banquet and two class plays. And it is during the junior year that leaders really begin to develop. Outstanding individuals take their places in campus leadership. JAMES T. ANDERSON Cciinbiidtju. Minn. LILLIAN BOYER I.o Crescenta. Calif. JOHN F. ANDERSON Houston, Minn. BARBARA CARLSON Duluth. Minn.

Included in the laurels of the sophomore class are all three class awards for homecoming. Activities become more important as second-year students begin to make a name for themselves. Important in the cocurricular planning are freshman initiation activities, Nik Dag, and the Freshman-Sophomore banquet. Studies, too, are more consequential as one begins to think for himself. As the year progresses the sophomore becomes aware of the world around him. New ideas and values become pertinent. AUDREY ANDERSON Alcestcr, S. D. ASTRID BARBINS Cleveland. O.

To study seven years seems a long time to many people, but in the lives of pastors and missionaries it is only a preparation for studies to come. Much in the way of practical work is used along v ith class programs. Students are encouraged to participate as student pastors or youth leaders under the seminary's supervision. Seminary students.

The Student Senate not only gives opportunities tor leadership, but it provides the means tor the students' contribution to the liberal arts community. One important emphasis is the sharing with the faculty the experience and reaction oi the students on campus issues. This year's Student Senate provided several open sessions so that many students could share their opinions on direct issues, such as student loans, with the Senate and the administration. Also important was the innovation oi a leadership retreat and a committee to revise the Senate constitution. Senate President, Glenn Ogren, looks serious cs ho leads a chapel program. Looking thoughtful, constitution committee members. Cleon Ogren. Art Erickson, John Berg. Denny Johnson, and Gordy McHosfie, argue the pres and cons of an amendment. 70 Smiling formally for our camera these Senate members are: (front row) Nils Triberg: Ardith Ftust; Glenn Ogten, Pres.; Linden Magnusen, Vice Pres.: Phyllis Engberg. Paul Berg. Walfred Peterson, advisor. Back row: Dale Larson. John Berg. Denny Johnson. A.rt Erickson. Gordon McRostie. Dave Seaquist, Jack Tierney. Phyllis Anderson, and John Do uhen. Seminarians Represented To help keep the students happy, the Seminary Council acts as a go-between for the seminary and its faculty. So that each seminarian will be represented in the directing of activities, the council consists of a member from each of the three classes, the chapel committee-chairman, and the seminary dean. In their meetings the council discusses problems that are peculiar to the seminary and presents their suggestions to the faculty. Evidently the problem at hand isn't too serious since the Seminary Council is able to smile for this picture. Seated left to right they are: Gordon Olson. Donald Fuller, Richard Varbetg. and Dean Omark. Standing is President, Robert Erickson. 71 Deeper Life Emphasized ... Religious Council: Seated: John Douhan, chairman; Marilyn Junker, Ruth Irons, Nils Friberg. Standing: Ren Cording, Richard Swanson, Dick Varbcrg, Richard Nelson. L jm An important part in directing religious activities on campus is taken by the Religious Council. To encourage us in our individual devotions they helped sponsor and organize Deeper Life week, this year bringing Rev. M. Wess-man to our campus with a series of messages on II Cor. 5:17, All things are become new. The council is also responsible for Monday chapel programs end the weekly Wednesday missionary enterprise offerings. Anemia Alleviated To keep us from becoming culturally anemic the Culture Council was innovated at Bethel a few years ago. The council's duty is two-fold. They remind us of cultural opportunities in the Twin Cities and bring some of these and other cultural activities to the campus. This year Bethel viewed films ranging in variety from The Ancient World: Greece to All the King's Men. Art exhibits by Cyrus Running and Charles decorated our Student Center and lectures by Adolf Tobler, labor leader, and Charles Beck, artist, were heard. Cultural Council member, R. Nelson stands alone as the coun ell's other members. Donnalyn Anderson. Phyllis Anderson. chairman, and Allen Stahnke sit comlortably. 72 Snowstorm Accommodates Snow Days a new of this year's Social Council calendar almost bowed out to the weather. But a snowstorm, though unappreciated by motorists and pedestrians, accommodated the council by blowing in just in the nick of time. Besides winter sports the three day week-end included a semi-formal banquet and a contest for after-dinner speakers. The council also sponsored Homecoming, a Valentine semi-formal, and an all-school carnival. Social Council chairman, Jack Tierney, presents the business at hand to council members Barbara Hartman, Carol Martinson, Lynn V eavet. Mr. Healy, advisor: Carol Henckel, and John F. Anderson. Activities Unsung but Instrumental Athletic Council members seated lelt to right ere: Richard Samuelson. Fran French. Terry Brown. Henry Pederson. Dave Seaquisl, and advisor. Lynn Lundin. Often an unsung group on campus, the Athletic Council is instrumental in organizing and promoting Bethel's athletic activities. Especially important in their program is the sponsoring of intramural games which this year included volleyball, basketball, badminton, tennis, and ping pong. A girls' basketball team represented Bethel in a conference including other school and church teams. 73 Issues Not Avoided by Clarion Taking over in the spring of 1956 Clarion editors this year have tried to clarify issues and study controversies because a problem cannot be solved until it is recognized for what it is. They also tried to present Bethel's news accurately in an objective manner. If problems were created they were unintentional; the staff merely wished to go on record as one that did not avoid issues. Although this did not always make them entirely popular with all members on campus we feel that they succeeded very well in their purpose. Few people realize the work which must go into putting out a paper bi-weekly, but everyone appreciates getting his copy of the Clarion when it comes out, little knowing what long hours the editors have worked on that one issue. And often their work does not end when the paper is published. There are the letters to the editor and general comments to consider. Although this is not an altogether pleasant task for the editors sometimes, it is an indication that their paper has succeeded in bringing to light the campus issues. Ad man Wayne Henry (lett). looks serious as he checks the financial status of the Clarion with equally serious John Berg, business manager. When the clock says 12:40 a.m. we wonder how Clarion co editors Allen Stahnke and Marie Maqnuson can still smile. Feature writer Marilyn Hagstrom, looks straight ahead, but feature writer Marjory Peterson (at typewriter) and advisor. Dr. V. Crabill seem distracted by some unseen object. Could be It will make a new feature for next weekâs issue! Jack Tierney, re-write man. and Carol Johnson, news editor, leak on amusedly as Bruce Richardson, re-write man. untangle a hurried news article. Posing together are Clarion reporfers and typists. Front row: G. Feiler, A. Harbins. C. Tschetter. F. Mohr. K. Christenson. Back row: S. Benson. J. Best. B. A'ord. N. Leyman. S. Bergstrom. E. Johnson. These reporters and typists have been the busy feet of the Clarion, doing a good fob of cornering the news. 75 Deadlines Frustrate Spire Staff Agreeing with Pope that hope springs eternal the Spire staff meekly submitted this masterpiece to the printer late. But their new office below the student center did help to alleviate the frustrations of a room too small for utility. Trying to give an accurate and complete picture of Bethel during the current year, the 1957 staff has worked hard getting good pictures and gathering information. To you, our readers, we hope you will enjoy your book and we trust your face is among those pictured. Co-editors Carol Martinson and Vivian Johnson decide which picture is best lor page 21. Editing pictures and layout consume most of the editors time. Working against time, copy editor Maty Lou Reycra t writes down an idea while her assistant. Betty Hendrickson. types. Bob Fricdetichsen. art editor, gets approval lor tho division page design from advisor. Gene Johnson. Boh also designed the cover. 76 Picture editor Pal Nichols looks pleased with her surroundings in this picture, but photographers Bob Carlson, Keith Davis and Dave Burkebile haven't always smiled so readily when Pat has had to give them rush assignments. Beaming, business manager. Beverly Otterncss, shows staff members Hank Swartz, Clyde Thomas and Evan Rogers that the ads wilt keep us in the black. This is ample reward for hours of tedious work. Look before you paste seems to be the motto of layout staff members. El-friede Mohr (sealed). Margaret Heikes. Betty Lundstrcm and Elaine Wallin. 77 Memorial Concert Given The main floor bullelin board was the subject of many anxious looks last fall as would-be choir members peered at it periodically to see if the choir list was up. Those who gained the coveted post endured bag lunches and fifth period practice sessions every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, but they also gained the experiences of a trip East where harmony was learned in personal relationships as well as in melody. This year's choir boasted Ron Veenker, college junior, who arranged many of their numbers. His talent along with the rest of the choir brought a memorial concert in honor of former choir member, Paul Thompson, who was killed last January. Proving that one experiences a wide voriefy of things on choir tour. Boy Walters finds diversion this way. Posing in their new robes, members of the college choir hit the pitch for director C.

Illness made the annual Male Chorus trip more exciting for some but considerably less exciting for others. Five different quartets sang during the ten-day trip to the midwestern states and sometimes as many as eight men were missing at a single concert. However, a wide variety of music ranging from The Soldier's Chorus by Gounod to Laudamus, a Welch chorale, was enjoyed by their audiences. A shorter week-end trip proved less disabling. 79 ir Band Grows in Strength This year's band was considerably strengthened by a large number of incoming freshmen who took an active part right from the beginning of the year. Interest was kept high and the band took part in many activities including Homecoming and Founder's Week. Dually instrumental the band helps bolster team spirit at Bethel's athletic contests. The flutes play their solo during one of the bandâs concerts. Lett to right are B. Johnson. Karen Huso. K. Carlson, and Beverly Carlson. Bethei Band Row one: W. Henry. C. Leddin. K. Huso. B. Johnson.

Highest of these was the first place trophy for winning the Women's State Championship earned by Betty Mattson and Marjory Peterson. The two teams attending the Bradley Tournament received excellent or superior scores in eight of the eleven events entered. Betty Mattson and Jack Tierney were rated superior. the highest rating given, for their work in oral interpretation. Debate Squad left to right: Lynn Weaver. Marge Peterson. Sharon Bergstrom, Allan Tervonen, Karen Christenson. Lois Larson. Advisor Lee Kingsley. Not pictured: Bev Volseth, Jack Tierney. Betty Mattson. In addition to these honors Beverly Voldseth and Marge Peterson as well as Betty and Jack rated excellent in discussion. Bethel's teams also made fair showings at debates in Fargo-Moorhead, Eau Claire, Wisconsin, and Macalester College although the loss of Betty, Marge, Bev, and Jack left a rather inexperienced teum to carry the load of work after Christmas. Betty Mattson emphasizes a point during a debate with which she hopes to throw the opposing team. 81 For Girls Only The only thing rarer than the poetic day in June is a man in attendance at a girls' dorm meeting or a program given by the Bethel Women's Association. This year Bethel women enjoyed among other things a style show and their own Christmas Lucia. During the spring the BWA promoted a good manners campaign. Bodien Dorm Council. Sealed: E. Nelson. I..

Nurses Fellowship Because they are concerned about their own devotional lives and the way they live before the people they care for. Bethel nurses have formed a fellowship in connection v ith the Intervarsity Christian Nurses Fellowship. Each girl gives and receives help for her own spiritual life and that of her patients. Missions Emphasized Untrodden Paths was the theme chosen by the Foreign Missions Fellowship for this year's Missions Week. Helping to acquaint new students with the various mission fields and encouraging students who plan to do mission work forms an important part of this organization's work. Besides Missions Week, FMF sponsors the International Conference and Smorgasbord, and conducts meetings. FMF officers Harvey Clark. Donelda Hoover. Ruth Ladd, and Ben Cording look over material lor Missions Week. Faces from many different countries smile end give friendly greetings at the international conference. Council Formed A youngster in campus organizations is the Pre-Ministerial Seminary Association. This group helps those men interested in the pastorate by giving them insights into ministerial life and aiding them in their study of the Bible prior to enrollment in the Seminary. Preseminary students listen attentively as Rev. Roy Johnson from Lake Park Baptist Church talks at one cf their meetings.

More usual club activities included lunching together in the dining hall before monthly meetings, singing German songs and reading from the German Bible. Slides of Germany and other European countries shown by students, Lois Larson and Virgil Collins, gave club members the feeling that they, too, had traveled there. From all of these activities they learned to understand and appreciate German culture and also received incentive to study the language. German Ciub officers Janet Lindquist, Merlee Sunty. Luther Bostrcck. and Henry Pederson, look at a Gcrmcn newspaper with then advisor. Eflic V. Nelson. Discussing plans for their next meeting are Spanish Club officers R. Erickson. G. Feiler, S. Wall, R. Veenker (standing); L. Ryberg, advisor; . Sesf. Habla Ud. Espanol? Spanish-speaking peoples of Bethel College enjoyed a pinata and Spanish musical instruments while learning to appreciate Spanish culture. Club activities this year have emphasized getting to know the people whose language they study. At one meeting missionary-nurse, Shirley Anderson, told of the problems peculiar to her work. Practical application of interest and knowledge has been made by working with the Inter-Varsity Foreign Student Program at the University. Another aim of the Spanish Club is developing missionary interest in all peoples. 86 Club Members Tour Institute Although they ate no lutefisk at their meetings, Swedish Club members this year learned much about the customs and culture of the people whose language they are studying. A highlight of the chub's activities was a guided tour of the Swedish-American Institute in Minneapolis. Meetings featured the singing of Swedish hymns which many of the members had often heard their grandparents sing. Films, slides, travel talks, and lectures provided enjoyment as v ell as acquaintances with the land of Sweden. Climax of the year's activities was a party at the home of the club's advisor, Mrs. Sjordal. Drinking collee in typical Swedish fashion are Swedish Club ollicers. Lett to right are Mrs. Sjordal. club advisor; Beth Mag-nuson. Donalvn Anderson, and Bob Carlson. Presiding at tho Swedish Club Christmas party is Lucia. Carol Leatblad. Familiar and Foreign Though somewhat stifled by closed doors, familiar music with exotic words floated out from classrooms early in December as language classes practiced carols for Christmas festivities. The Swedish Club had their own Lucia who presided over a table of Swedish delicacies. Christmas for the Spanish Club meant a pinata and Spanish songs accompanied by authentic Spanish instruments. The German Club presented the Christmas story with German words and songs. 87 Codes Are Necessary Calling KO-ACY â Calling XO-ACY. Although station KO-ACY located in the physics laboratory hasn't responded lately, enthusiastic radio club members hope to put it in operation soon. At club meetings Professor Francis Wheeler, proud owner of a ham radio operator's license, instructs members in radio code. Though the code may sometimes sound like Greek to beginners, a thorough knowledge of it is a prerequisite for obtaining a ham radio operator's license. Radio Club. Sealed: Dick Olson. Dick Larson.

To gain experience they often enlist students who just walk by. This year the club has emphasized portrait photography. At the school carnival their very popular booth featured a portrait in two minutes. Keith Davis's polaroid camera did the trick. Besides actual photography, meetings were devoted to lectures on techniques in the taking and developing of pictures. Camera enthusiasts I. Robert Carlson. Art Coombes, and Dave Burkebile look over some equipment. 88 Denny Ncrslad and Dave Morin pose with their skis as they wish for more snow to try them out. Snow Needed Hampered by the lack of snow the Ski Club saw little action on the slopes in this their second year of organization. But dry skiing was demonstrated at one of the meetings. Here beginners learned about equipment, and saw how to walk, jump, and race while the feet are strapped to elongated and waxed boards. Also featured was a movie on the fundamentals of skiing. B Club officers lack Tierney. Bill Conrad, and Dave Scaquist discuss activities for fhe year. âBâ Club Initiates A trek through the library with painted hair and faces while singing lingle Bells was experienced by new B Club members at this year's initiation. Also initiated by this year's B Club was the selecting of the most valuable player in football and basketball, and the awarding of medals to winning intramural teams. Activities including several splash parties were sponsored for the club's members. 89 Gridders Gain Fans Cocaplains Paul Berg and Dave Secquisl discuss football prospects for the 1556 season. They look hopeful. Freshmen automatically become football fans when they enroll in Dr. Bass' Bible Survey Class. He often asks scores in his tests. The team appreciates the support. The grid team was led by co-captains Paul Berg and Dave Seaquist. A valuable addition to the team was Bruce Erickson, quarterback.

Football to be Continued Though several questioned the advisability of continuing football last fall it was pointed out that while it is fun to have a winning team this is not the only purpose in football at Bethel. A player here plays football not for the benefit or glory he might receive but for enjoyment of the game. Also he plays honestly; he learns no little tricks.â The player should learn discipline end practice on the gridiron helps him in other areas as well. Football is also considered a vital part of our physical education program and education program in general. There arc many students who may not consider majoring in physical education v ho want it as a minor. So Bethel will continue to play football. Carrying the ball to whet we hope will be a touchdown is Bruce Erickson. Bethel quarterback. 9 4 ⢠Starling grid lineup at a practice session. Backs: Thomas, Seaquist, Brunzell, Erickson.

The Lumberjacks took over from the first gun as they went ahead on their first offensive thrust and completely dominated the play. The Royals had trouble passing, running and even punting successfully. Their biggest gain was on a supposed punt play when Erickson picked up a poor center and swept the left end for 25 yards. Bethel picked up their only score when the referee ruled pass interference against the Lumberjacks one-yard line. But it was the only thing the Royal fans had to cheer about all afternoon.

Royals Win Besides robins, one of the first signs of spring on the Bethel campus is the baseball team at their first outdoor practice session. After looking over the 1956 baseball team both Coach Lynn Lundin and Captain Dale Larson were understandably hopeful. The Royals boasted eight returning lettermen from the previous season. 1956 Baseball Team. Row 1: R. Singleton, D. Larson. E. Brunzell. Row 2: f. Tierney. . Berg. J. Samuelson. K. Albright. Row 3: V . Larson. D .Goss. M. Nyberg. . ffibby. i I- i i s 104 Six Victories The team was strengthened by the additional hitting power of Don Goss, first baseman, and Ken Albright, who played third. Ed Brunzell and A1 Stahnke pitched for most of the games with Mark Nyberg assisting. Jack Kibby was the outstanding catcher. High point man for the team was Don Goss with a batting average of .351. Highlight of the season for the Royals v as their 8-1 victory over Augsburg. When the eventful season was over the Royals chalked up six wins and seven losses.

Don Bachman won the only first place for the team as he topped everyone in the two mile race. Jim Rein-holdt and Beryl Munson took seconds in the mile and 888 yard dash respectively.

They topped Concordia and Luther twice each but lost twice to Augsburg and once each to River Falls and Hamline. Three of the Royal golfers are lettermen. They are: Bill Conrad, George Visel and Bill Larson. Bob Homes, Terry Bottenfield and Joel Stolte completed the 1956 golf squad. Bill Conrad practices his swing. 106 Team Tries Courts Eager tennis players couldn't wait for the new tennis courts to dry completely before trying them last spring. Bethel's tennis squad finished the 1956 season with a record of two wins, one tie and four losses. Co-captains A1 Mesko and Hank Pedersen boast letters as does Bob Fisher.

The team having the greatest total points at the end of the year will have their name engraved on a trophy designating them as intramural champions for the year. Members of the winning team will each receive a medal. This year the program has gained in support and enthusiasm. Members ol the Barons, winning intramural basket-kail team are: Row 1: B. Reed, D.

Women Win Seven Serious about basketball were the fourteen members of Bethel Women's Basketball team. Coached by Mrs. Lynn Lundin, they faithfully practiced twice a week. Entering a league with Augsburg, Minnesota Ag. Campus, Minnesota Bible College and Northwestern proved profitable for the team; they won five of seven league games. In addition they won over Bethesda Nurses in two games. Although motives differ, Bethesda and Bethel players watch anxiously as Nancy Russell attempts a baskot for Bethel. Women's Basketball Team.

Only a basketball game with Northwestern could cause so much excitement among Bethel fans. 109 rju l Homesickness Prevented Hamming their part in the counsellor's skit are upper classmen Beverly Voldseth, Howie Rckstad. and Art Erickson. Freshmen have little time for homesickness during their first week at Bethel College. Of course the inevitable frustrations of freshmen tests and registrations lines must be endured but the excitement of getting acquainted with fellow classmates as well as upper classmen and faculty members play the most important part in the initiating week. Included in the pleasantries of becoming acquainted are a week end at Big Trout Camp and a Freshman reception. Competition with class members begins early in this tensc moment as both teams work hard to gain points. Organized competitive sports are planned lor the week end; however, impromptu games are also a part ot the fun. Sophomore, Pat Hodgers gives a starting push to three freshmen girls. Boating is open to ali but is regulated for safoty, hours and loading being specified. Astrid Barbins pours coffee for a new student at the official reception for new students. Smiling at one of Dr. Paul GrabllTs (back to camera) witticisms are Dr. V. Grabill, Dr. D. Fagerstrom. and an interested freshman audience. The faculty reception gives students the chance to become acquainted with their new leaders. Kangaroo Kourt Ends Initiation Week A freshman victim appears justifiably nervous as he is being shaved by blindiolded Judy Flcron. It's all a part of that thing the upperclassmen call innocent fun. Clyde Thomas got tired of sitting on a cake of ice so he escaped to the rafters of the Como pavilhon. Gritting his teeth in a smile, this freshman offender pushes a peanut across the floor with his nose. 114 Coronation is Top Secret Crowning event (pardon the pun) of Bethel's homecoming festivities was the coronation of the king and queen. Even the candidates did not know the names of the winners until Friday night. A festive homecoming spirit permeated the college as dorm decorations were judged and plans were made for the Friday skits and pep fest, and the Saturday parade and game. Dr. Curtis Akenson was the chapel speaker and Rev. Gordon Johnson spoke at the closing banquet. Smiling their congratulations as Paul Berg, football cocaptain. places the crown on queen. Ardith Rust, are candidates Bererly Magnusor., Barbara Hartman, and Elaine Nelson. King. Bili Conrad, and Queen, Ardith Rust, and attendants Elaine Nelson.

This year the sophomore sponsored program featured a musical variety show set against a New York skyline. Quar ef members Ron Eckert, Dale Nystrom, Bob Shields, and John F. Anderson sing a !a Mexicana accompanied by guitarists Lareau Lindquist and Bob Lindaman. Chorus lines are notoriously attractive, but the members of Bethel's Burlesque look a bit strange. 1 Foreign Cultures Appreciated With its emphasis on missions Bethel often features programs that acquaint us with the cultures of other countries. An international smorgasbord held early in December displayed delicacies from many different countries to test the taste buds of students and friends. Christmas programs, chapel speakers, and an international conference acquainted us with cultures and customs. Diessed in costumes from the countries they represent are Frank Shindo. Donelda Hoover. Ariel Larson. Mrs. Ganstrom, and Ruth Ladd. Three foreign stuaents pose for our cameras at the international smorgasbord. Convos Are Outstanding Outstanding in the year's program were several convocational programs. The opening convo featured honor students and officially welcomed the freshman class in an impressive ceremony. Stephan Hero, internationally famous violinist was the subject of a convocation at the end of the fall quarter. During the spring Dr. Ben Dor, authority on t ie Dead Sea Scrolls lectured. A very personable young man, violinist Stephan Hero, delighted Bethel students with his musical artistry. College dean, Clifford E. Larson presents honor scholarships to Marjory Peterson.

Highlighting this year's program was an Oratorio choir singing the Christmas portion of Handel's ''Messiah.'' Joining Bethel students in the instrumental ensemble were members of St. Paul Bible Institute's orchestral group. This year student soloists were featured instead of selecting outside talent as has been done in former years. Professor C. Howard Smith congratulates Mr. Phillip Gustcfson, Oratorio choir director, lor his lino porlorm-ance. Hallelujah sings the Oratorio choir as Bethel students and other guests listen attentively at the Christmas concert. Christmas carols were most commonly sur.g at this informal singspiration in the Bo-dies lounge. 123 Banquet is Climax Mr. Loo Lewis directs this octet during Snowflake Fantasy. Front row: M.

Other events included barrel jumping, a sleigh ride, snow sculpture, hockey, and tobogganing. Points in competitive events were given and a trophy was awarded to the class gaining the most points in the competition. Jack Tierney awards freshman class president. Denny Johnson, the trophy for accumulating the most points in the Sno Daze competition. 124 Upper Classmen Retreat to Snail Lake A day of winter sports was enjoyed by upper classmen at their February 2 outing at Snail Lake. Members from the sophomore, junior and senior classes all participated in the event. The day of out and indoor activities, including tobaganning, skating and hockey, ping pong, and listening to hi-fi records ended with an evening program, which included a monologue by Dr. Paul Grabill. Darbins tries her hand at hockey while Roberta Wall looks on. Getting ready lor the slide down hill were these three snow covered upper classmen. Wheel Junior class president. Gordy Me-Crostie tests a shovel and hopes it will last until he reaches the bottom of the hill. 125 Rev. Clyde Taylor, a former missionary to Columbia and current member of the National Association of Evangelists speaks at a chapel service during Missions Week. Spiritual Life Deepened Although a student's religious life is emphasized all the year round, Bethel sets aside three special weeks for this purpose. Missions week featured Dr. Clyde Taylor and followed the theme Untrodden Paths in acquainting Bethel with missionary work in many counties. Deeper Life Week with Rev. Maurice Wessman of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, showed us how an individual's life becomes new when he meets Christ. Founder's Week held every February this year chose the theme, 'The Christian Life in Practice. Rev. Maurice Wessman. Deeper Life speaker, takes time out alter speaking to counsel with Herb West.'und. a college sopho more. Regular counselling schedules are also set up for the week. 126 MWl Rev.

AI Windham, Robert Daly and Frank Doten take advantage of the privilege. 127 Our Town Brings Full House The informality of Our Town made it especially well-suited to Bethel staging. Stage scenery was kept at a minimum with the cast prevailing upon the audience's imagination. Few stage hands were needed because the play's stage manager did much of the scene changing. Sponsored by the class of 1957 the play about small town life ran two nights and drew a full house at both presentations. The Gibbs Family poses for (heir family portrait 1910 s'yle. Row 1: Shirley Anderson, Caro! Woods. Row 2: Donn Goss. Jack Tierney. Stage manager, Harold Rich-⢠ardson, relexes in his typical small town fashion. Mrs. Gibbs, Shirley Anderson, tells her husband.

But his deception was found out in the class of '58's comic rendition of Moliere's, A Physician In Spite of Himself. Given last fall instead of in the spring the junior class avoided the crowded social calendar characteristic of the spring quarter. Karen Christianson adjusts Hoy Brett-lund's beard as cast members make up ior the junior class play. Hoy Brottlund looks a little shook when he is apprehended lor being a pretender to healing. Karen Christenson pretends she can't speak as other cast members look on in a tense moment ol the play. 129 Capturing the Memories of 1957 Ron Eckert sings to Judy v. Florcn in the Valentine Semi-formal's musical presentation of The King and I. One of he workmen inspects he building of the new addition fo Bodien Residence.

A heliocopter brought excitement andI navy recruiters to Bethel's campus last spring. A legitimate pillow light is had by Ken Nelson and Dave Davies at the all school carnival. Although this April snowstorm brought many complaints 3ethel students took advantage of the soft snow to sculpture a seal which made TV news. 131 THE BAPTIST GENERAL CONFERENCE OF AMERICA 5750 NORTH ASHLAND AVENUE CHICAGO 26, ILLINOIS A growing missionary fellowship of 444 churches with over 59,500 members and a 77,700 Bible school enrollment.

Without this assistance, publication would not be possible. The editors would also like to add a note about the book. This yearbook represents the efforts of the staff to put out a book which would be interesting, representative, and pleasing. Realizing that much of our judgment is unavoidably subjective, we can only hope that our tastes are typical of the Bethel College student so that the readers, too, will enjoy the book that we have the pleasure of presenting to you.
