BETHEL COLLEGE and SEMINARY is dedicated to the training of Christian leaders. Beth-el— “the house of God”— is the denominational school of the Baptist General Conference of America. Growing year by year, Bethel now has 640 students taking advantage of the expanded facilities. Improvements include dormitory additions, landscaping, and enlarged library facilities. Bethel is a liberal arts college with a Christian emphasis. It has long been evident that well educated Christian leaders are a necessary part of society. Bethel recognizes its calling to train young people for this leadership. Academic achievement is integrated with Spiritual awareness. Although not large by some standards, Bethel, because of its limited size, provides for more individual attention than can often be obtained in a larger school. It also makes it possible for a large part of the total student body to take an active role in campus leadership. The administration and the faculty realize that “the foremost aid of the program in the liberal arts at Bethel College is to help each person to realize his unique and sacred potentialities and make his own best contribution to society.” This training is made up of many things. Classes and academic study are not the only ways in which leadership is developed and potentiality realized. Bethel also has an active social program and many organizations of a varied nature. Somewhere among them each student finds his niche and becomes part of this busy community. The following pages will attempt to portray a composite picture of life at Bethel during the past year. 1958 SPIRE Editors:....................... Pat Nichol Evan Rogers Business Manager . .

DEDICATION MISS SABEL Practical Advice “She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.” This spring Miss Sabel is retiring after thirty-four years of teaching at Bethel. Missionaries and Christian Workers are thankful for her practical advice, while others find their spiritual life has been deepened through her classes in religious education. During her stay at Bethel she was head of the Bible Missionary and Training School, and taught in the Academy, the Junior College, the Senior College, and the Theological Seminary. It takes more than mere subject knowledge to make a teacher of the quality of Miss Sabel. She has displayed an interest and a personal concern for her students which has endeared her to them all. Although she may leave Bethel’s campus, those whom she has taught and helped will never forget her. Miss Sabel teaching Greek to one of her classes in the seminary. Mr. Engwall outlines part of his day’s lecture on the blackboard. MR. ENGWALL Friendiv Counsel “An honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God.” Professor Engwall retires this spring after teaching at Bethel fourteen years. During these years he has taught philosophy, psychology, ethics, sociology, and human geography. His students have appreciated his witty humour and his friendly concern for others. Many students have come to him for counselling and have welcomed the advice of someone who cares about them and approaches their problems with a Christian attitude. Mr. F.ngwall has been in demand in area churches as a speaker, and is well known as a competent Christian psychologist. We are sure that as he goes from Bethel he will continue to be used of the Lord in helping others as he has helped us. 7 IN RETROSPECT 8 IN RETROSPECT A Year at Bethel Seven buildings and a muddy campus — this is Bethel seen by any casual passerby this year. But to those of us who have spent a year or more here, Bethel is much more than that. To us Bethel is an amalgamation of daily chapels and lime cokes, Bermuda shorts and student teaching, missionary offerings and dress up night. This is the Bethel we know and will never forget. This Bethel has been, and is our very1 life for these few months. It all began with registration — those hectic days of filling out forms, checking catalogues and arranging appointments. There were lines to stand in, fees to pay, and last year’s buddies to greet. The freshman felt he needed a college degree to complete registration — perhaps that’s why faculty advisors were handy. There were also many opportunities to meet new friends, especially during the relaxing weekend of Freshman retreat. But this week was over all too soon, and we all settled down to the routine of classes. For some of us there was the shock of finding that our rooms were not built, yet because dormitory additions had not been completed. The boys filled the basement of the library and set up extra beds here and there, while the girls enjoyed close fellowship —three in a room. For meals we crossed Snelling Avenue and arrived with hardy appetites at the temporary dining hall affectionately called “El Barno.” However, through it all we realized that the improved facilities were worth a little inconvenience. It was fun to turn out on a sunshiny fall day to cheer our football team to what we hoped would be a victory. During these days the choir and male chorus slipped away for a weekend of practice. Everyone did his share of the work including the directors. The infirmary in the basement of the girls’ dorm was finished just in time for the Asian flu epidemic which hit our campus in mid-October. Even so, there just wasn’t room for everybody who was sick, and beds had to be set up in the auxiliary dining hall. Although it wasn’t a sickness unto death, patients were sick for at least a week. Through all this, of course, classes were going on and convalescents relapsed at the thought of makeup work. But the administration understanding provided us with a two day vacation. Mid semesters, however, still found many of us with a lot of reading to do. And then all of a sudden it was Christmas, and all we heard for days was who was going home and how and when. But before we left there was plenty to do. The choirs were busy preparing for the Festival of Christmas, while the bookstore overflowed with people buying cards, choosing gifts, or just looking. We were anxious to go home, but it was good to get back. By now everyone felt that this was home, too. It’s funny how fast these nine months can go. Some of those friendships which began back in the fall have developed into more than that. Rings, new or used, received by the girls call for a bathtub party. Shoe polish, soap flakes, and floor wax are only a few of the ingredients added to the recipient’s evening bath by dorm mates. Besides all this good “clean” fun we had many serious moments. Bethel students regularly attend the non-compul-sory daily chapels and weekly dorm prayer meetings. In the coffee shop on any given afternoon at some time or another the laughter will fade away as sincere students discuss the important things of life. It may be a regulation that you dress up and wear heels for Wednesday night supper, but there is no regulation that says you must wear religion while here. The number of students who use the little prayer rooms proves that the vast majority take no thought of “putting on” religion. They already have it deep within. Suddenly it is graduation. That means some may be leaving Bethel never to return. But looking back it has been a good year — one to remember. Dr. Carl H. Lundquist, President, smiles from his book-lined office. ADMINISTRATION 18 PRESIDENT AND DEANS Spiritual Leadership Bethel students arc fortunate in being able to follow men who follow God. Being a college president requires great intellectual strength, but at Bethel we realize that we have a president who above this has great spiritual strength. Some of the most worthwhile chapel services throughout the year are those in which our president talks to us, the student body, in a warm, humble and understanding way. Even more challenging, perhaps, is the consistent, even, work-a-day way things get done. We realize that life is for the most part outside of chapel, and we are glad for the example. Also examples to us are the Dean of Women, the Dean of the College and the Dean of Students. They combine efficiency and concern to make our school a well run organization. Their sincere interest in us and their willingness to help will be remembered when we are in positions of leadership. The awareness of being “really liked” is enough inspiration for emulation.

NELSON 19 Business Manager, Harold Lidbom, has had a busy year directing the completion of the new dormitories, in addition to supervising school purchases, and student services. Assistant to the President, H. Wyman Malmsten, travels extensively promoting Bethel and making the contacts necessary to maintain and improve the financial resources. Director of Public Relations, Nels Stjernstrom, has the job of keeping Conference churches, Bethel alumni, and the general public aware of Bethel and its activities. Board of Education: Rev. J.

Wicklund, Richard Lindholm. Getting Here Although each student at Bethel dimly remembers the seemingly voluminous amount of correspondence with the Director of Admissions prior to his acceptance, few realize all the work involved in processing all the applications. When the applicant’s matriculation file is complete, including application form, high school transcript, and character references, his eligibility for admission is determined. If accepted, he is assigned an advisor and may look forward to the entrance tests given at the beginning of the year to new students. Edna Schultz and Mr. Bloom check a prospective student’s folder for references before accepting his application. Director of Admissions, Royal F. Bloom, left, is responsible for determining a student’s eligibility for admission. He is also in charge of our testing and guidance-programs. Registrar, Robert Glaser, right, is in charge of registration, the making out of class schedules, determining classroom assignments, and scheduling final examinations. Bursar, Milford Carlson, is in charge of Bethel’s financial records, student payroll, and disbursements. As a sideline he frequently plays the organ for chapel services. Office Manager, F.dith Larson, supervises off-campus housing, Hagstrom apartments, and the office staff, and keeps the payroll, board of education, and alumni records. Executive Secretary, Edna Schultz, is kept busy all year with prospective student correspondence, applications for admission, registration, and final grade reports. 21 Joe Zacharias watches as Angel Ruiz Lillo skillfully changes a lump of clay into a figure. DEPARTMENTS 22 FINE ARTS Appreciation Widened Playing and constructing instruments, sculpturing heads, painting, and marching in complicated rhythms are all a part of the freshman’s introduction to the Bethel fine arts department. This new program — a one-semester introductory course — provides for both lectures and studio experience in music and art. Also new are the Music Education course and the Art Methods course which provide training in collaboration with the education program for future high school art and music teachers. With more majors this year than ever before this department is proving to be at least as popular as most other major-offering fields. A visit to the art studio this fall might have revealed a friend sitting on the shelf looking almost as real as life — a product of the new sculpturing course offered. Also new was a course in graphic arts. Through outside activities such as the choirs and instrumental groups the music part of the department plays an important part in the total campus program. Many students take the opportunity of having individual training in voice, piano, or organ. The art students ably help in the fields of scenery and advertising. C.

After courses on philosophies of teaching, principles of teaching and methods of teaching they felt equipped to meet any crises, but they soon realized that high school students are not easily classified. Student teaching may not be all that the theory-promised, but in many ways it is much more. New last year, the increasing popular education course encourages students to stay four years at Bethel, since they can now receive their secondary school teaching certificate here. Meanwhile the psychology majors and minors are busy classifying themselves as they struggle through the definitions of “learning” and “conditioned response.” Through films and trips to the various state institutions they learn more about the workings of the human mind. Not without their own psychological effect are the famous caramels, well-known to every beginning Bethel psychologist. Though not the largest department, it is certainly one of the busiest — just ask any student teacher — and one of the most fascinating — now was that a psychotic or neurotic tendency? Now tell me about yourself, says retiring professor, Swan Engwall, to one of the many students who seek his advice. ROYAL BLOOM M.A., Chairman Psychology, Education SHELDON FARDIG M.Mus.

However, they learned from Mr. Robert Hosokawa, news editor of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, that there is more to putting out a newspaper than merely meeting deadlines. Also new to the staff this year is Mr. Chris Wcintz who manages to make even criticism interesting. Freshmen, inured since high school to the rigors of composition and grammar find that it takes on a new and interesting slant when they read THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS for their study of “Language.” This year the new seven part program also program also provides for study in areas such as “Environment,” “Religion and Ethics” and “Mass Media of Communication.” This summer, Daily Vacation Bible School students throughout the Conference churches will be studying about Bethel from a handbook prepared by the English department in collaboration with the fine arts department. Closely related to the English department is the area of speech and communications. Everyone realizes the value of speech techniques and the growth of self-confidence resulting from constant practice. To assist in this program, Bethel acquired Mr. Q. T. Smith who is an especially enthusiastic debate coach. GERALD W. HEALY M.A. English, Literature MAURICE LAWSON M.A., B.Th. English Literature RICHARD CURTIS Q. T.

The class “gets it.” Degrees Received Probably the largest number of graduates this year are majors in the department of history and political science. Besides the addition of two Ph. D’s, the department offered a major in political science — new last year — and a total of five semesters of reading courses for the ambitious student of world affairs. Of course it is not always smooth sailing as the beginning historian finds out when he discovers that an “important date” does not necessarily mean Saturday night. And there are oral com-prehensives for history majors to bone up on before graduation. This year the department has taken on a teaching assistant to help with the larger classes in freshman history. Next year they will become even larger as the course “Introduction to Western Civilization” becomes a requirement for graduation. Here the history department takes on a new responsibility for the general education of the student body as well as providing a field for specialization. At first it may not seem important that Napoleon met his Waterloo or that Boston had its tea party. But more and more one realizes the value of the past as a guide for the present and the future.

DALTON Ph.D. European History WALFRED PETERSON Ph.D. Political Science FRANCIS WHEELER M.A. Ancient History 26 SOCIAL SCIENCES Cultures Studied Other people and their problems arc important to many students on Bethel’s campus. Many of these students major in the social sciences, so that they may more easily and sympathetically understand the various cultures and situations involving these people. Personalities, social institutions and contemporary social problems arc studied. Students majoring in this area are usually preparing for teaching, social work, missions, business or government. However, many students take social science courses just to understand social behavior and thereby become better citizens and persons. Courses in sociology and social work give students a view of how people live in groups and in social institutions. They get an idea of the types of research and field work involved in social work. Courses in specific problems such as crime and delinquency give room for investigation into these specific areas. Anthropology students study man in his various cultures. These courses enable students to see people through their own culture and to understand why they feel and act the way they do. Courses such as “Religions of Man” are valuable in knowing other people. Material needs and how they are met as well as the ways in which producer and consumer help each other are studied in economics. BETTY DANIELSON M.A. Social Work GEORGE J.

Hello In Any Language “Wie geht es Ihnen?” “Muy bien. iy usted?” “Jar ar bar.” It sounds confusing but it’s not “all Greek” to the language students. Under the new program at least one year of a foreign language is required for graduation. As they struggle with the difficulties of sentence structure, irregular verbs and the possessive pronoun, the students wonder why. But after a few weeks their tongues slip sideways quite naturally and they find themselves becoming interested in the cultural differences and historical heritage of these countries. German is the choice especially of those who plan to go on in science, medicine or philosophy. Pre-seminary students get a background for their theological study in the college Greek course. Because Latin America is so near and important and because of Bethel’s interest in missions, many students study Spanish. Our denominational heritage of Scandinavian, so Swedish is also a popular language. Techniques of learning such as records and conversation groups are being used by the students to increase their facility in the language of their choice. The library has two rooms reserved as language listening rooms. In later years students are often surprised at how handy the college language training may be. FRANCIS WHEELER M.A., Chairman Greek F.FFIE NELSON LILLIAN RYBERG INGEBORG M.A. M.A. SJORDAL German Spanish M.A. Swedish PHILOSOPHY Questions Answered There are certain questions in life that every thinking man must answer for himself. The philosophy department shows to its students some of the answers that other men have had concerning man and man, the universe and God. Although it may not seem vitally important to the logic student whether or not the major premise is undistributed lie comes to realize that critical, intellectual thought takes a while to come by, but that this is the place to get it. W. ROBERT SMITH Th.D., Chairman Philosophy, Bible CLARENCE B. BASS Ph.D. Philosophy, Bible CHRISTIANITY Christian Training From the time a student enters Bethel and “Biblical Literature” as a freshman until he ponders over “Patterns of Christian Thought” as a senior, he is aware of the influence of the Christianity department. Restructured to provide this sequence, the department this year offers a new Christianity major leading to a B.A. degree. This will help to meet the growing demand by churches for both men and women to direct the educational work in the church. This emphasis on Christian work is especially significant as a part of the larger religious environment of Bethel. Phil Anderson and Adelc Carlson ask newest faculty member Dr. Finlay about a lecture point. CLIFFORD E. LARSON Ph.D., Chairman Religious Education CLIFFORD V.

Spirogyra to Sputnik “Isn’t that a sparrow?” “I think it looks more like a —” “Ssssh — it’s going to sing!” No, its not a meeting of the National Birdwatchers Society — it’s just the Bethel freshmen out on a biology field trip. Tomorrow they’ll be in the lab dissecting grasshoppers or frogs smelling strongly of formaldehyde. It’s all part of the process of learning to appreciate the world around you. Bethel’s growing science department this year provides a major in biology as well as in chemistry. It is also improving its curriculum to provide for the training of future science teachers and offers a full pre-medical program. Next year the department will make it a requirement of graduation for the student to have one course in physical science as well as one course in biology. The mathematics department is also expanding to keep pace with the increasing need for higher mathematics. Since the advent of Sputnik the world has been drawn even more to an active interest in the developments of science. It is important for everyone to understand the implications of these scientific advancements. This is the work of the department of science and mathematics. V. ELV1NG ANDERSON RUSSELL W.

Here, amid the clatter of the typewriters and other office machines, are prospective secretaries, missionary candidates, church secretaries and others who realize the value of business skills in later life. Besides typing, shorthand and accounting, courses in running the latest office machines are offered. Credits in business count as electives toward a BA degree, and many students take a year or two of business at Bethel before going on to a professional school. ELLEN LEHR M.A. Commercial PHYSICAL EDUCATION Exercise - Not Mental Whether it’s calisthenics, badminton or table tennis, all Bethel students are aware of the important part in school life played by the physical education department. Although the coed loudly groans and complains as she stretches to touch her toes and although she may have trouble climbing stairs for a few days, she is appreciative of the break in the sedentary college schedule. However, there is more to physical education than twists and bends. Through these courses students learn how to be valuable team members or learn how to play individual sports that will become favorite hobbies or pastimes. Badminton and ping pong are popular in the winter, not to mention volleyball, and as spring comes students start hurrying across campus to the tennis courts and the girls turn out for their annual gym class softball games. Ron Nelson charges forward to catch his opponent's serve in an enthusiastic badminton battle.

Associate Librarian ELIZABETH MILLER M.A. Library ELSA NORDIN M.S. in L.S. Library Added Services This year’s complete rearrangement has given the library basement a new look. Besides giving more room for seminary stacks, the remodeling has provided for language listening rooms and an educational methods lab. The solitary scholar can make good use of the individual desks or the additional study rooms. The library this year also acquired the historical collections of the Baptist General Conference and the Skarstedt collections — a collection of Scandinavian theology. On the mezzanine a student project is providing the Ralph Larson chapel for meditation and prayer — dedicated to the memory of our martyred missionary. Libraries are becoming more and more important in higher education as the student is taught to integrate what he learns in the classroom with what he finds for himself in the library. There is a definite trend to make more use of the library which is especially noticeable at Bethel in the larger number of readings courses offered. The library through its expansion shows its willingness and ability to meet this need. Students take active advantage of the library’s informal Lillian Boyer and Marilyn Thorpe, part of reading area beside the current publications rack. the student library staff, check in a book. 32 STUDENT SERVICES Essentials Provided From the time a student sleepily gets himself to breakfast first thing in the morning until he turns out his study lamp late at night, he is aware of the many essential things done for him by inconspicuous people. There are days when he has a cold and Nurse Marion gives little green pills. It is then that he realizes the value of having a health service that is always there and ready to help. For counselling help there is a professional guidance director, Forrest Vance. Bethel is a community in itself, and all the things needed by any city are provided here on a smaller scale. Wc arc all grateful for the willing service given in reply to such questions as “Is the mail out yet?” or “May I have two scoops of potatoes?” But too often we fail to realize how important the part of our school life is that the people in services perform. Where would we be if there was no heat or wc had to wash all the dishes? And what if there was no coffee shop to provide an after-class snack? Seldom given publicity but always working faithfully behind the scenes, these are the people who help the student’s day run smoothly.

SENIORS The Time Has Come Graduation is more than “pomp and circumstance” and tassled hats. The senior who graduates from Bethel is different from the freshman of the same name who entered four years before, and graduation, in a sense, represents that change. •(.These have been four years of close friendships, tight schedules, and a new independence. There have been new ideas, broadening experiences, and uQexjjecjed problems.) All of these have helped bring about tfiVchange to a more mature personality.'? There have been changes in the school as well — new dormitories begun and finished, long-awaited landscaping undertaken, and a change in the academic program. The last class to graduate under the old requirements, they arc aware that Bethel has grown with them. It’s only a few steps across the platform to get a piece of paper. But that paper represents the accomplishments of four years and these ...Ml ____... j:__f,,yePS i Really living their Par(s seniors Hope, Bob and are Priscilla. . y PHYLLIS ANDERSON ...

By now prospective historians and philosophers have chosen their majors and minors. They have the optimistic resignation that there are “two down and only two to go.” These last two years will be the best. Now the classes are smaller and more informal. They want to do a good job on everything from the Junior Class Play to the mid-semester exams, and they do. Having been together for two years, juniors see themselves as a class producing school leaders. The quiet boy who once sat unnoticed in the back row is now asking the professors relevant questions and discussing campus issues in the coffee shop. Next year he will be a leader helping to solve these and other issues. Competition is strong, but incentive is high as the student starts upper division work. Goals in life become nearer as the junior begins taking more classes in his chosen field. The work is more difficult than last year — more term papers, extra reading, and subjective tests, but in an important sense it goes easier. Now the surveys and introductions arc over and the specialized studies begin. This is what they have been waiting for. ROGER HOLM. Vice President. EVAN ROGERS, Treasurer, DAVE SHOLD. President.

Stillwater, Minn. 49 SOPHOMORES Caught in the Middle There is a lull after the storm; a time of learning to settle down and of realizing that there is more to an education than just knowing the number of cuts allowed in a certain class. But life is still far from black stockings and long faces. Sophomores are enthusiastic — about their class as a whole, their class parties, their growing sense of responsibility. They arc especially anxious to make sure the freshmen feel welcome during their first days at Bethel. As for themselves, they feel a deeper sense of belonging as they see familiar faces. Their enthusiasm spreads to the whole school preceding the big day — Nik Dag. This year almost everyone turned out to make it a big success. Coeds in the student body are grateful to the Sophomore class for opportunity offered — and the other half bears no grudges. This is the year of classes labeled “Introduction to” or “Survey of.” In many courses the student is satisfied with merely an introduction, but somewhere he will find one course he likes well enough to go past the introduction and get ready to learn to know it for the rest of his life.

Two Sophomore girls w'ith their Nik Dag dates enjoy cokctails” in Bodien lounge before taking the hoys out for dinner. 57 FRESHMEN LARRY NELSON, Vice President, JUNE McGILLlV-RAY, Secretary, BRUCE LEAFBLAD, President, THELMA FREDERICKSON, Treasurer Heading For the Future Confusing catalogues, innumerable registration forms, and nordes of superior and demanding upperclassmen make the first weeks a kaleidoscopic whirl of blurred impressions for the freshmen. But it doesn’t take too long before those same upperclassmen are recognizing them as a determined and capable unit overflowing with energy, full of plans for the year’s activities and holding the unanimous opinion that they arc the best class on campus. Freshman Retreat gave them a chance to get to know their companions for the next four years. There were some who said “brown” and “aunt” with a funny twist; others had never seen snow. Some girls wore their anklets up; some wore them rolled way down. But they had many things in common — zeal and enthusiasm and green beanies. They got rid of the beanies only to acquire stacks of books — mid-semesters came too soon. But that didn’t prevent them from turning out en masse at the roller rink or at their class house party. Despite the large number of high school valedictorians in their class they thought it expedient to carol some of their teachers at Christmas — semester finals were approaching. This is a class of claims and promise. They arc off to a good beginning. The upperclassmen wait with anticipation to see what the next three years will bring. Everyone found something of interest at the Freshman class parties— roller skating for the active and scrabble for the intellectuals. CHARLES ADELSMAN . ..Fergus Falls. Minn. CARL AMANN ...

STUDENT GOVERNMENT 70 STUDENT SENATE Fosters Interest i ’ ’ There are definite evidences of an increasing positive interest in student government on the part of the students. This has been one of the aims of the student senate. To foster this interest they have held open senate meetings, chapel question-and-answer periods, and have encouraged better personal contact between senate members and the student body. They have also aimed in the opposite direction — that of increasing communications between the student body and the faculty and administration. Student representation on faculty and administrative committees, and an active spirit of cooperation has helped bring about advances in this area as well. Always keeping in mind that the purpose of the student senate is to act as a service agency to those it represents, they have worked through the councils and with the administration to provide a better intramural program, improve the food service, sponsor a dress-up night every week and provide a better social program. 3 ca. jbO ■' —J '■ Cx—J— ■ ZuJ2l t xfi ,-L? —• x t '{■ 1_if 'i_J j 2z„ f : .0 Y Asjfjz.

Religious Council: Richard Curtis, advisor, Warren Nelson, Glenn Ogren, Jan Lindquist, Dick Swanson, chairman, Bryce Miller, Carroll Erickson, Roger Bear RELIGIOUS COUNCIL Plays Important Part Because Bethel is a Christian College, the Religious Council plays an important part in school life. They are in charge of Monday Chapel Services and present one or two Wednesday vesper services each month. The filled track rack, the regular missionary offering and the well-organized gospel teams make us aware of them as an active group in campus affairs. They cooperate with other groups to promote dorm prayer meetings and have a representative to work with the Special Weeks Committee. SOCIAL COUNCIL Plans Activities Did you ever wonder why each weekend of the school year is taken up with its own social activities This is not an accident but has been carefully planned by the social council in an attempt to provide opportunity for the development of socially adept Christians. Besides the big events of the year such as Homecoming, Sno Daze and Valentine varieties, the council has sponsored dorm parties, class house parties, pow-wows which have proved themselves to be popular. Social Council: Carl Linden, Marilyn Swanson, chairman, Annette Burgess, Charles Elver, Pam Everberg, Gerald Hcaly, advisor, Phil Peterson, Ruth Randall, Terry Benz Athletic Council: Lynn Lundin, advisor, Les Borms, Marilyn Junker, Stu Luckman, Bob Johnson, chairman, Judy Hegstrom, Joel Stolte ATHLETIC COUNCIL Extends Program Presenting an active intramural program and working generally for increased student enthusiasm and school spirit, the athletic council is a busy group. The greatly extended women’s athletic program has been an important advance. Volley ball and badminton competition between the classes has been much appreciated by the students. They are also in charge of the cheerleaders and have set up “a committee on pep.” CULTURAL COUNCIL Stimulates Interest An intelligent interest in art, music and drama is a part of every educated man. It is the aim of the cultural council to stimulate this interest by bringing to campus various presentations of each of these fields. They also sponsor the Art Club, the Music Club, and the Royal Players. Highlight of their activities was the Fine Arts Week sponsored in March. Cultural Council: Gene Johnson, advisor, Lawrence Van Hccrdcn, chairman.

The final printed papei which comes out every two weeks requires the work of many students. Reporters first gather the newt and write the general news and sports stories. Aftei the rewrite staff has made corrections and additions, typists type the copy to be sent to the printer. Special writers and the editor write the material for the editorial page. Any student may contribute through the “Letters to the Editor” column. Two sets ol “proofs” — long printed columns — are sent back by the printer. One set is proofread and the other is used to map out the stories on the pages. Headlines and ads are prepared before the paper goes back to the printer to be printed in final form. Finally the Clarion is circulated to students, subscribers, and advertisers. Advisor Roy Dalton and Editor Bruce Richardson disagreeing over a small point in editorial policy. Looking amused is Asst.

But it all gets done — so well in fact, that due to last year’s efficient management the Spire was able to donate $500.00 to the Student Senate.

MUSIC 78 COLLEGE CHOIR Two Shorter Trips Instead of its usual long tour, this year’s College Choir took two shorter trips. For their first tour they visited Chicago over a long weekend and gave five concerts in various Baptist churches there. A longer trip was to Denver, Colorado with concerts on the way. They sang a variety of sacred music including chorales, spirituals, and familiar hymns. They have a special attraction in several numbers arranged by one of their own members, student Ron Veenkcr. Try outs, in the fall, are held which help the director, Professor C. Howard Smith, to select those who will make up the choir for the following year. Bethel is justly proud of the vocal quality of its College Choir. Churches are always eager to have these Bethel representatives sing for them, and the students are always glad to serve in this way.

MALE CHORUS Many Concerts On April 2 a busload of excited young men left Bethel for California — the Male Chorus was off on its annual tour. After many successful home concerts they looked forward to this as the climax to their year. An early highlight of the year was the series of three concerts at the University of Minnesota where they were well received by music majors and other students. Two of these, held in Coffman Memorial Union, were part of a special lenten service. Upon their return, they planned for a homecoming concert and a brief TV appearance. 80 Howie Rekstad jokes with Governor Freeman and the Minnesota Centennial Queen while Mr. Fardig laughs in the background. Male Chorus voices ring out for Governor Freeman and the Queen on the steps of the capitol. The Male Chorus were official ambassadors from the state of Minnesota on their California tour. GIRLS’ CHORUS Director Sylvia Jackson shows June Nelson and Gail Ohlin a page that needs more practice. Newly Formed A group of thirty-three girls met together this fall to start an entirely new music group on campus — a girls chorus. Led by the music assistant, Sylvia Jack-son, they have learned a great deal singing together and have had much fun in the bargain. By Christmas they were prepared to take part in the Festival of Christmas mass choir as well as presenting an individual number. Since then they have presented concerts in several Twin City churches and at the Easter chapel at Bethel. Although the chorus began as a voluntary organization, the girls have proved themselves to such an extent that next year they will receive one-half credit per semester for participation.

MUSIC CLUB New Group For the increasing number of people on campus who are vitally interested in music, this year saw the formation of the Music Club. To give their members opportunity to create music they promote student recitals and to give them increased appreciation of it they study various music forms at their meetings. At the Christmas party they studied Christmas carols from many lands. They also made a visit to the temple of Aaron to hear Hebrew music firsthand. In the future they plan to have special speakers acquaint them with the various musical vocations. Music club officers out for a spring walk are Bob Ricker, Bud Malmstcn, Barb Carlson, Ron Vccnker and Gene Thompson. 83 Gay Feiler and Ted Ludlow pause to look at signs of future club meetings. CLUBS 84 ROYAL PLAYERS Drama Club Formed One of the newest but most enthusiastically supported clubs on campus is the Drama Club, formally known as the Royal Players. Organized last fall, they have already shown themselves to be very active. They presented three one act plays in January, a three act play, “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,” as part of the Fine Arts Festival in March, and assisted the Junior Class Play in staging, make-up, and other technical aspects. They also revived one of their one act plays for Prospective Students Days. Extensive plans for the future include dramatic workshops, dramatic gospel teams, and experiments with theatre-in-the-round, profile theatre, and projected scenery. Drama Club officers Sandy Pyatch, Caryl Robbins, Ian Paterson, and Roy Brottland pose for an old fashioned family picture. 1'wo hoi tempered Mexican beauties, Carol Julien and Judy Goddard glare at one another while villagers Elaine Wallin and Janet Drury and suitor Stan Sharman look on. The play is Sunday Costs Five Pesos. ’ DEBATE Public Relations Some of Bethel’s most effective unofficial public relations people are the members of the debate teams. Competing with schools from all over the mid-west and usually coming out on top, they publicize Bethel’s name to students of these various colleges and universities. This year’s larger than usual debate squad attended tournaments ranging from Madison and Eau Claire in Wisconsin to Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Each team of two was prepared to debate affirmatively or negatively on the question, “Resolved: that the requirement of membership in a labor organization as a condition of employment is illegal.” The Michigan cross-question procedure of debating was used as well as the traditional form. Debators learned to think on their feet! Members of the debate squad competed in oratory, discussion, oral interpretation, and extemporaneous speaking. Ron Nelson and Clyde Thomas study a new piece of evidence which they hope will prove their case. Debators Lynn Weaver, Karen Christensen. Fred Thomas, Cindy Crohn, Ron Nelson, Margo Chamberlain and Clyde Thomas pay close attention to Coach Q. T. Smith as he gives them some advice. 86 Art Club officers Rita Balzarini, Terry Benz, Jim Sheldon, and Carl Holmgren discuss a piece of sculpture. ART CLUB Exhibits in Lounge The paintings and drawings in the student lounge and coffee shop are one of the responsibilities and activities of the newly formed Art Club. As well as attending local art exhibits and planning a sketching trip, the members assisted with the backdrops for the Festival of Christmas and Founders Week. CAMERA CLUB Shutter Bugs A small but picturesque group on campus is the Camera Club. Its center of activity — that small, dark closet next to the post office — is kept filled with anxious photographers shifting their favorite prints from one solution to another. Techniques of operating cameras and taking pictures, along with discussions about cameras and other equipment, are the topics of their meetings. Highlight of the club’s activities was the slide show portraying Bethel life this year with an amusing musical background. Camera Club officers Joe Biller, Joyce Eagen, Art Coombcs, and Ron Nelson pose as objects of their talent. Sharing a joke are “B Club officers Dave Davies, Stu I.uckman, Bruce Erickson and Rich Samuelson. “B” CLUB Purchases Made The “B” Club, which each year elects the most valuable team players, this year purchased a plaque for the fieldhouse to contain the names of these players. They purchased a new popcorn machine to increase their concession stand business at games. Also this year’s “pins” will be given to the duly initiated members. RADIO CLUB Code Studied Students may wonder to see figures clambering over the roof of the college building but there is no need for worry. It’s just members of the Radio Club working on their project of erecting an antenna. Meeting with the aim of obtaining an amateur radio license, the members receive instruction in theory and code which will help them pass the required exam. They have also recorded foreign broadcasts for the language department. Radio Club officers Dick Olson and Charles Adlesman turn away from their radio equipment for a picture. 88 CANADIAN CLUB Beginning Stages Canadian students are keenly interested in forming a Canadian Club. They hope to contribute constructively to Bethel’s campus community by using motion pictures, displays and publications providing information on Canada’s social, cultural, political and economic developments. Other aims include encouraging Canadian students to attend Bethel, helping them to adjust while here, and providing them with information about vocational opportunities on campus. Canadian students get together in the lounge to discuss the purpose and policies of their new club. STUDENT WIVES Support Missionary Proceeds from an annual candy sale and offerings at meetings are being used by the Student Wives to help support Anne Marie Oesterle, a former Bethel student now in youth work in Germany. A wiener roast, a pot luck supper, and demonstrations on gift wrapping and catering have been other projects of the year. Officers of the Student Wives Association Mrs. C. Van Anda, Mrs. G. Olson, Mrs. G. Dvirnak, Mrs. C. Franson, Mrs. N. Magnuson, and seated, Mrs. L. Karlbcrg arc ready to begin serving lunch. BWA Honors Grads “Flight Into the Future” was the theme of the spring banquet given by the Bethel Women’s Association in honor of the graduating seniors. Although this was their biggest event of the year, the BWA also sponsored the Big-Little Sis tea in the fall and filled the months between with meetings including a Christmas program, tips on grooming and a faculty wives presentation. BWA officers: Standing - A. Burgess, M. Lehman, J. Powell, E. Johnson, S. Wall, P. Knapp. Seated - M. Junker, S. Jackson, J. Lindquist. BODIEN DORM COUNCIL Early Breakfasts Several times a year Bodien residents in bobby pins and housecoats make their way to the dining hall for a early fellowship breakfast of bacon and eggs. Other activities sponsored by the Dorm Council include fireside sings, homecoming dorm decorations, weekly dorm fellowships and a Christmas open house, with prizes for the best decorated rooms. Bodien Dormitory Council: S. Jackson, J. Powell, D. Wessman, A. Burgess, B. Ohlin, T. Brown, J. Mattson, L. Weaver, M. Olson, E. Johnson, Miss Nelson, advisor, Mrs. Christenson. Edgren Dormitory Council: Standing - E. Frye, C. Elvin, R. Massey, T. Ludlow, G. Olson, T. Turnquist, C. Anderson. Seated - D. Nerstad, M. Holmquist, G. Thompson, R. Olson, Mrs. Moberg. EDGREN DORM COUNCIL Varied Duties Prayer meetings, room inspections, and the acquisition of a new pop machine are some of the varied duties of the Edgren Dorm Council. Anxious to help a fellow with his problems, they sponsor dorm fellowships and provide counsellors. Periodic dorm meetings provide opportunities to thrash out problems of dorm policy. Hagstrom Dormitory Council: Mrs Harriet Nisbel, Mrs. Gladys Olson, Dick Varbcrg, Baby Nisbel, Fred Thomas. HAGSTROM DORM COUNCIL Creates Unity It is a little different coming to Bethel as a married couple. There arc new problems and interests and it is easy to become removed from college activities. But the Hagstrom dormitory council helps by working to create a sense of unity, Christian fellowship and cooperation among the residents. It also promotes social activities, and acts as a mediating agency between the residents and the administration. Gathering up the pinata goodies arc Spanish club officers Belly Ohlin, Ron Vcenker, Mary Ellen Olson, Miss Rybcrg. advisor, and Dean Baurle. SPANISH CLUB More Interest A deeper appreciation of the Ibcromerican culture and way of life is the main aim of the Spanish Club. Ibcromerican includes the people in the Iberian peninsula — Spain and Portugal — and Spanish peoples of the Americas. Students from the University and Joel Bermudez and Angel Ruiz Lillo of Bethel who have lived in Spanish speaking countries are the main source of information. Students in Spanish classes find that through the club they are given increased incentive to learn the language. SWEDISH CLUB Slides Shown It is an old Swedish custom to have Lucia, dressed in white, and wearing a crown of pine boughs and candles, serve cakes and coffee during the Christmas season. The Swedish Club carried out this tradition by choosing Elaine Wallin as Lucia and attendants Nancy Russell and Wendy Wik-holni to serve the members at their Christmas party. Colored slides from Mrs. Sjordal’s summer trip to Sweden were a feature of the fall meetings. Members were also enthusiastic about building their own homecoming float until the Asiatic flu stepped in. Swedish Club officers, Pat Nichol, Eloyce Nelson, Mrs. Sjordal, advisor. Carol Leafblad, and Bob Johnson, enjoy a cup of coffee. 92 GERMAN CLUB German club officers Inez. Welch, Marilyn Pippert, Karen Christensen, Bruce Erickson, Marge Int Veld and Miss Nelson, advisor plan their next meeting. Skit Given A humorous skit portraying the love of two German gentlemen for the same lovely Fraulein was one of the main presentations by the German class. They also had a meeting to view slides taken by Alice Upstrom on her trip to Germany and a Christmas program of musical numbers. One of the main enjoyments of the language clubs is singing. After much practice in the weeks preceding Christmas the German students caroled in the halls of the college building one morning just before holidays. They also sent a tape recording to a high school German class in California. GREEK CLUB Explore Canon The Greek Club, composed mostly of prospective ministers and pre-seminary students, has in its meetings explored the backgrounds and language of the New Testament. This included spending one meeting in a discussion of the canon of the New Testament. They cooperate with the other language clubs and the Foreign Missions Fellowship in various projects and language activities. Future plans for the club include getting more off-campus speakers to address the meetings. Clubs like this give the student help in learning the language of his choice. Greek Club officers John Stahl, Mr. Wheeler, advisor, Marvin Anderson, and Edward Frye discuss a point of interpretation. 93 Before Gospel T cam practice, Gay Fcilcr adjusts Roger Erickson’s turban. CHRISTIAN SERVICE 94 FMF Map Completed The completion of the illuminated missionary map in the reading room of the library has been a major project of the Foreign Missions Fellowship. With the adjoining bulletin board, it shows Conference mission fields and missionaries and gives current world-wide missionary news. The big red and while sign over the north door of the college building reminds us of the bimonthly meetings. These often feature special missionary speakers, as well as panel discussions, films, and slides. Their special activities are even more popular when they bring foreign students from nearby schools on campus for such events as an International Music Festival and an International Dinner. Not the least of their responsibilities is Missions Week and an Agricultural Missions display for the Urbana Convention.

Introduction to Ministry Informal meetings dealing with such varied but useful topics as “The Minister’s Library,” “Pastoral Counselling,” and a presentation of the Jewish faith by a Rabbi make up the main activities of the Pre-Seminary Students Association. This year they had a sequence dealing with the minister’s development through God’s call, the Seminary, the pastor’s wife, sermon preparation, and mission work. This association provides an introduction to the ministry for the approximately one hundred college men interested in pastoral work. Besides the long range goals, this organization works with the Christian Service office to provide opportunities for practical training in immediate Christian service. Students listen attentively as the Mounds-Midway Student Nurses Chorus presents a concert in chapel. 0 Helen Heikes, surrounded by children at her regular Monday night Child Evangelism Class, tells about Christ’s love for all — black, white, yellow, and brown. Ted Ludlow and Lois Brandshaw chat with some of their Hi-C group at a skating party. CHRISTIAN WORK Most Satisfying Many Bcthclitcs besides working, studying, and participating in extra-curricular activities are actively engaged in some form of Christian service such as Ober Club, Hi C., Child Evangelism, or the Sunday School. Such service, though time consuming, is most satisfying and well worth the effort. As we arc busily preparing ourselves for the future, we do not forget the present with its many opportunities. We remember that as Christians, we have one overall aim in life — to bring honor to Christ’s name by iving a godly life and to bring souls to Him hrough our witnessing. 97 99 Halfback Bill Humphries leaps high in the air to pass. FALL ATHLETICS FOOTBALL The 1957 Bethel “grid” squad was one of the largest since football was inaugurated at Bethel. Under the leadership of head coach Lynn Lundin, led by captain and quarterback Bruce Erickson, and bolstered by eleven returning lettermen, the team played a very good caliber of football. The squad was held in high respect by all its foes after it held formidable Northland College to a scoreless tie in a muddy night game. For the first time in years Bethel was very much “in” every game up until the final gun. Bruce Erickson received the Most Valuable Player Award for his fine, consistent play and leadership throughout the season.

The first half was highligted by Humphries touchdown and a 51 yard screen pass from Erickson to Samuclson for a second T.D. In a mud-spattered contest at Northland College the Royals played a great defensive game holding the Lumberjacks to a 0-0 tie. At Wahpeton the gridders played an outstanding first half, highlighted by Christenson’s blocking of two punts, and led at halftime 12-7. Due to costly fumbles Bethel was found on the short end of a 27-12 final score. Bethel finally tasted victory. Before the home fans, the Rovals defeated Sioux Falls College 13-0. Jim Milberry scored the first T.D. With 72 seconds remaining in the game, a Bruce Erickson to Art Erickson pass resulted in the second T.D. “Think I should call a time out?” 103 Down at Mason City, Bethel played a good first half leading 7-6. In the fourth quarter the Royals found themselves behind 27-7, and though finally catching fire, time ran out leaving the final score 27-20. With seven team members missing due to Asian flu, the Royals couldn’t get rolling and General Beadle T.C. downed Bethel 27-0. Before a spirited Homecoming crowd, the Royals played some of their best football of the season. Tierney, Erickson, and Scnsion scored all the Royal T.D. before Worthington scored. Worthington J.C. made a fine comeback, but the inability of either team to convert extra points left an 18-18 tie. Without quarterback Erickson the Royals made no headway against Lakeland College. Though an outstanding game defensively in line play for Luckman, Christenson, Reynolds and Stoltc, the Royals were on the short end of a 12-0 score. “Hats off” to the team and coaches for a fine season. We all look for a better season next year when the Royal grid-ders will be in the newly formed Badger-Gopher Conference. ‘Here we go again.' CROSS COUNTRY Enters Meets Coached by Fritz Frederickson the cross country team entered a few meets in the city area. The harriers were led by Bob Johnson who consistently placed in the “Now, where did they go? meets. We are looking for more added interest in this sport in the coming years. D. Becker, B Linddman, R.

WINTER ATHLETICS BASKETBALL Outstanding Record Under head coach Del Ray Peterson and assistant coach Gerald Healy the Royals’ basketball team produced a 17-7 mark which was the best record in five years for the Bethel’s quintet. Their 12-1 home floor record for the season was outstanding and in the Badger-Gopher Conference they garnished a 10-2 mark for second place behind Milton whose record was 11-1. Terry Bottcnfield was high scorer for the year with 344 points for a 14.3 average in twenty-four games. Wes Young had the highest average for the season with 18.1 average in fourteen games. For the season the team averaged 67.3 points per game, and held their opponents to a 64.8 average. Terry Bottenfield, the most valuable player, speaks with DclRay Peterson, coach. ROW ONE: D.

SEASON SUMMARY One of the Best Bethel won its first two games of the season, which were played on the home court, and displayed great potential for the season as Young, Pommerenke, and Bottenfield led the scoring. The Royals lost their first game when they played unbeaten St. Mary’s at Winona. It was a close game until the last few minutes — then St. Mary’s great shooting display pulled them ahead. Following their first loss, the team bounced back winning their next five games, with Borms and Turnquist added to the high scorers list. During the Christmas Tournament held at Bethel’s field-house, Valley City defeated the Royals and went on to win the tournament. The Royals beat Northwestern College and attained third place. Knoncr drives by a Northland man for a lay up. Players look on anxiously to sec if Terry hoops one. Bcckcr looks ready to tear in, but Botten-field keeps the ball from the opponents. In the Badger-Gopher Conference Bethel won its first four games, but lost its first conference game on Milton’s home floor. Between semesters the cagers suffered a blow in losing Young, Pommerenke, and Knoner. However, with fairly strong bench strength the team kept playing good, consistent basketball. At Ashland, Wisconsin, Bethel was tied for the lead with Milton, but the squad lost a close game with the Lumberjacks, the only team to defeat Milton in the conference. Before a packed fieldhouse in the annual Founder’s Week game with Northwestern College, tension and excitement ran high on the part of both player and fan. Northwestern led at halftime 30-27, but the Royals bounded back to win the game in the closing seconds as Turnquist scored 24 points and Becker hauled in most of the rebounds. Thanks to the consistent play and rebounding strength of center Don Becker, the general floorman-ship of Terry Bottenfield, and the good playing of all the team members, the team actualized into one of Bethel’s best. Yes, it was a great season for the Royal cagers and the coaching staff is extremely proud of their performance. Borms stretches to tip the ball towards Becker while the referee watches. Turnquist stretches for the basket while the Bethel fans cheer him on. “B” SQUAD Third in League Play The “B” Squad, coached by Gerald Healy, produced a 9-8 won-loss record. In league play they were 6-4 which tied them for third behind the champion College of Chiropractors with an 8-2 record. The season was highlighted by their 62-61 victory over Mt. Olive in the league playoff semi-finals; however, the squad lost to the “bonesetters,” 51-71 in the championship game.

Playing against Hamline, St. Paul Bible College, Minnesota Agricultural School, Minnesota Bible College, and Northwestern College, the team was led by forwards Elaine Johnson, Marilyn Junker, Ina Marie Lindstrom, Ruth Randall, and Nancy Russell. This was a front line with good scoring potential and Junker and Lindstrom were high scorers consistently throughout the season. The guards who did an outstanding job in the back court were Annette Burgess, Barb Chapman, Jean Miller, and Carol Peterson. Oh yes! girls’ basketball is very exciting to watch and with the growing enthusiasm of being a participant or a spectator, it is an advancing sport at Bethel. 112 Posing for a picture during the half of the Homecoming game arc cheerleaders L.

Munson, G. Ohlin Rouse Crowds Even when crowds are enthusiastic they need someone to lead them in cheering and often it takes some encouragement before the spectators will eagerly back the team. This is where Bethel’s eight blue-skirted cheerleaders come in. Using several new cheers and all the old favorites, they have done their best to rouse apathetic crowds and at most games it was not long before everyone was chanting, “Hey, hey, take it away!” We believe the choices made at tryouts last fall were good ones and heartily say, “Hats off to the cheerleaders.” LiP Abner spikes one. B. Anderson tries for a basket as C. Nelson and W. Mackinncy wait for rebound. Could you tell me if this is Swan Lake? BOYS’ INTRAMURALS Growing Interest Under the direction of the Athletic Council, Boys’ Intramurals is of growing interest on campus. Organized into eight teams, of which every male student is on one, competition runs throughout the school year. Participating in volleyball, basketball, ping-pong, handball, badminton, and to be added to the program tennis, softball, and touch football, there is great opportunity for the fellows to display their physical capabilities. The Dukes came out on top in volleyball and the Pages in Basketball, and after ping-pong had been completed, the Dukes led with 250 points in team standings and the Peasants second with 185 points. With much work being done in the intramural program, added interest and participation should be the outlook in the future. GIRLS’ INTRAMURALS First lime Organized for the first time this year, under Miss Heir, to interest more girls in sports and to give more girls an opportunity to play was Girls’ Intra-murals. Starting late, the program has included only volleyball and badminton with the possibility of tennis in the spring. In future years, under the push of the Athletic Council, the school is anticipating a growing interest and participation. Ken Albright (.345) connects for another one. SPRING ATHLETICS Coached by Lynn Lundin and led by co-captains Albright and Tierney, the baseball team kept pace with its winning record of the past four years. Highlighted by a six-game winning streak in the middle of the season, the Royals potential power exploded. With Baurle, Brunzell, and Albright the leading hitters with twenty hits apiece, a respectable team average of .302, and backed by the good out-fielding of Tierney and the consistent pitching of Pommerenke, Stahnke, and Brunzell, the team put together fine play and excitement which made the season interesting to the spectators. Ed Brunzell was voted most valuable player by his teammates. Coach Lundin talks with Co-captains Tierney and Albright.

Four busloads of screaming greenbeanied freshmen travelled to Big Trout Lake for three busy days of introduction to Bethel. Fourteen counselors led in the activities and presented a “catching” skit which will never be forgotten. There were serious sides too — an official welcome by the president, panel discussions and quiet times by the lake with a pal or one’s Bible. The climax was the campfire service on the point. Here the new Bethelites sang choruses and told of the many ways in which God led them to Bethel. Are wc coming or going? yells Phil Peterson during the traditional freshman-upperclassmen tug-of-war. Brian Harris encourages everyone to sing at the closing campfire at Big Trout Lake. The freshmen, cold but happy, cooperate. Ncls Friberg, Al Christenson, El a in Johnson, Rich Massey and Arlene Bergstrom amuse the freshmen with a skit at the retreat. RECEPTION Friendly Relations... The freshmen had an opportunity to meet the professors whose assignments they would be doing for the next four years at the faculty reception for new students. The mood was informal as students and faculty talked together and laid the foundations for a friendly year. President Lundquist presents Joan Custon to Dean Larson at the faculty reception for new students. Elaine Johnson pours a cup of coffee for Virginia Larson. The reception was held in the chapel. Phil Peterson doesn't seem to mind bearing the brunt of upperclassmen hostility during initiation week. At least he has lots of visitors. Offenders kept the stock busy. INITIATION Stocks and Groans Raw eggs, balloons and shaving cream were all part of Freshmen Initiation night. Directed by the Sophomores, the Initiation took the form of a TV program — with audience participation! This was only the climax, however, of a week of green beanies, name cards and cowtowing to insistent and unreasonable upperclassmen. The Freshmen bore it all and only said “Just wait ’til next year!” The egg should be smaller or the cup bigger, thinks the fellow below. But Woody seems to think he’s doing all right as it is. Wearing crowns anti carrying pompons, King Bill and Queen Sylvia watch the game from the sidelines. HOMECOMING 128 HOMECOMING The Asiatic flu couldn’t quench the spirit of Bethel students who turned out to cheer the football team to an 18-18 tie, filled the fieldhouse for the annual skit night and coronation, and gathered outside afterward to cheer around the “biggest bonfire ever.” There were no floats — the flu succeeded thus far — but the dorms worked hard to make up for it in dormitory decorations. The girls took the prize with their authentic, two-story Little Lulu. King Bill and Queen Sylvia presented the awards at the game Saturday afternoon and later presided at the meeting where Dr. Wilfred E Widen, chairman of the Board of Education, spoke on the 1957 Homecoming theme — “That Royal Feeling.” And in spite of the flu the campus had — “That Royal Feeling.” j Arlene Bergstrom encourages Dwight Jessup and Carl Holmgren to “Get that Royal Fec ng.” Queen Sylvia Jackson and King Bill MacKinny with their court: Milt Holmquist, Pat Nichol.

Gene Messenger grins as Dick Borstad illustrates a point in his talk at the fall banquet. FALL BANQUET Falling Leaves To counteract the annual phenomen of “falling” leaves, the Fall Banquet wa; the scene of many “rising” spirits! Football and “Autumn Leaves” were brought to the fore by University of Minnesota fullback Dick Borstad and the songs of Wendy Wikholm. Not only did Dick entertain us with humor, but he inspired us with his experiences as a Christian in college football. Adding together the inspiring program and good food it was a huge success. BWA TEA Formal Welcome Rosebuds and orange sherbet punch were just part of the welcome given by Bethel “Big Sisters’’ to their “Little Sisters.” To help new students adjust to Bethel campus living, each returning co-ed “adopts” one or more of the new girls and through friendly chats and helpful hints makes the “getting-to-know-college” easier. After several reschedulings the BWA tea was held in the newly-finished dining hall. Although it was a formal affair the strangeness was gone and the incoming girls felt they really belonged. Janet Linquist pins a rose bud on little sis Kathy Johnson at the annual BWA tea. 132 Corsagcd and smiling. Dwight Jessup is obviously attached to his Nik Dag date. NIK DAG 133 At the beginning of the evening the gentleman is presented with an elaborate corsage designed by his date. NIK DAG Co-eds Wait Nikolinas Dag, the Bethel version of Sadie Hawkins day, arrived early in the school year, but just late enough for everybody to have become acquainted. Ambitious co-cds were up before the sun waiting for the switchboard to.open only to find that tired boys had taken the phones off the hooks so they could sleep in. But there’s an old saying that “where there's a will there’s a way” and most of the boys weren’t as reluctant as they tried to appear. Carol Peterson puts in the important call while Judy Powell stands by waiting her turn at the phone. The rule for tonight is 'gentlemen first.” Carol holds the car door as Bruce steps in. The girls began to collect materials for their corsages and to look around for eating places with atmosphere. And there was always the problem of a car. The problems smoothed out, however, and when the big evening arrived the girls all flocked over to Edgren Residence to pick up their dates. After dinner everyone went to the program, “Manhattan Madness. The deans cooperated by giving the girls special lates and many hurried off after the program to go bowling, on a hayridc or just out for another snack. Surrounded by grinning and interested friends Carl Amann and Phil Peterson, Bruce Erickson answers the phone. Judging by the laughter, the program must be going off At the close of a packed evening Carol es- wcll. Bruce’s corsage shows that he is a football star. corts Bruce up the walk of Edgren Residence. Elaine Nordstrom, one of the many missionaries on campus for the week, answers a student's question on missionary life. MISSIONS WEEK Varied Program “Telling the Untold” was the theme of the Foreign Missions Fellowship sponsored Missions Week last November. Chapel services featuring visiting missionaries were climaxed in a rally Friday night with speakers from Japan, Ethiopia, Philippines and Assam. Displays set up in the student lounge depicted scenes from Japan and India. Students at Bethel realize that an interest in missions is vital in their Christian life. 136 Fusac Saito exulains this brightly dressed doll, part of the Japanese display, to an interested student. One of the noticeable displays of the week was this grass hut set up in the student lounge. Pat Nichol. Gloria Johnson, Jean Foster, and Gay Ficlcr, dressed in native costume, talk to Sten Lindberg, missionary from Japan, at the FMF smorgasbord. SMORGASBORD Foreign Dishes Five girls dressed in appropriate native costumes served Japanese, Chinese, Mexican, and Indian food at a smorgasbord sponsored by the F.M.F. Guests from Korea, Greece, Mexico, Japan, China, Formosa, India, and Israel attended, giving students a chance to learn about these countries. Talks by a Hindu and a Moslem on their religions climaxed the evening. Visiting foreign students seem to enjoy a remark made by Miss Sabel after the smorgasbord. 137 CHRISTMAS CONCERT Lcs Funk starts the painting of another section of the huge backdrop in preparation for the festival. “The Word Made Flesh” “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and glory and blessing.” So sang the Festival choir in the grand finale of the Bethel “Festival of Christmas.” The program, presented two nights, featured the College Choir, the Male Chorus and the Girls’ Chorus. Mr. Wheeler read scripture uniting the music into the one great story of Christmas. The theme was John 1:14 — “And the word was made flesh and dwelt among us ...” Nine twenty-two foot panels with a painting designed by Gene Johnson formed a backdrop for the group. The constantly changing lights helped emphasize particular parts of the story. Especially effective was the processional when the choir members sang as they made their way up the darkened aisle to their seats carrying candles in tiny colored glasses. Barbara Carlson, in charge of publicity, looks over some newly printed handbills. Al Carlson and Lcs Funk help Gene Johnson ease one panel into place. 139 Helping Princess Karin Carlson up off the ice arc princess candidates Nancy Russel, Virginia Weispfenning and Juanita Dwirc. SNO DAZE 140 SNO DAZE Sno Daze is High Point Minus the sympathy of the weatherman, but plus the enthusiasm of the student body, the skill of the basketball team and the glamour of the coronation, Sno Daze added up to a high point of this year’s social calendar. No snow meant no snow sculpturing. But it didn’t dampen the spirits of the Sno Daze committee as they changed the post-banquet sleigh ride to a hay ride. Friday night Princess Karin was crowned amid spotlights and trumpet fanfares. After the game the three floors of Edgrcn played host to the corresponding floors in Bodien by sponsoring parties. Sports were planned and carried out as well as possible without snow. The Sophomores ended up on top to receive the trophy. Snowflakes and blue candles transformed the Bethlehem church youth room for the climax of the weekend — the Sno Daze banquet. Interspersed by jokes from toastmaster Tierney were musical numbers by Dave Davies and readings by Hamline’s Gordon Ramsey. Dave Davies sings of a Winter Wonderland.” — Ken Nelson goes down the easy way on a tray, but Howie Rckstad, Carl Holmgren and Ronald Olson put everything they've got into their speed skating. Elaine Nelson and Dwight Jessup seem to be enjoying Gordon Ramsey's reading at the Sno Daze banquet. Gallant gentlemen Dale Ny-strom and Ron Eckert carry on an animated musical conversation with Marilyn Hagstrom and Wendy Wickholm. VALENTINE VARIETIES Music Featured Red checkered tablecloths and candles in hottles set an Italian-American atmosphere for the Valentine semi-formal. Sitting at tables for four the guests enjoyed music keyed to Valentine’s Day. The first part of the program featured songs by Dave Davies, Elaine Sandberg and Ron Vecnker under the title of “Love's Excursion.” After refreshments Wendy Wikholm, Marilyn Hagstrom, Dale Nv-strom, Ron Eckert and John Anderson presented an operetta dealing with a Sunday afternoon train ride. With all this music and Bob Johnson as the witty master of ceremonies, no one could help but have a good time. Guests at the Valentine Varieties program enjoy refreshments during the intermission. 142 FINE ARTS WEEK Culture Fostered Shakespeare, music, art and drama all played a part in the Fine Arts festival held this spring. Included in the week’s program was a voice and piano recital, a film followed by a panel discussion, a convocation of recitals from Shakespeare and a lecture on “Visual Arts in Christianity.” Highlight of the week was the Drama club presentation of “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” on Saturday night. Art exhibits in the student lounge showed not only art but art in the making. Several students gave demonstrations in painting and sculpturing. Sponsored by the Cultural Council in conjunction with the Fine Arts department, the week used both student and professional talent. This week helps us to appreciate not only the various cultural activities but also the liberal arts education which provides these opportunities to enjoy them. Rita Balzarini steps hack for a critical look at her painting before adding the finishing touches. One of the many “fine discussions of art” stimulated on the campus by Fine Arts Week. 143 FOUNDER’S WEEK Brothers A. J. Wingbladc and Henry Wing-blade pose for a picture at Founder’s Week. Pastors Attend There is no time when it is more obvious that Bethel is a part of the Baptist General Conference or that she is loved by her alumni than Founder’s Week, when pastors and alumni from Canada and all over the United States meet again on campus and renew old acquaintances. Under the theme, “Evangelism for Today,” they listened to sixteen prominent speakers including some of Bethel’s own faculty. The keynote for the week was struck at the Monday night banquet when Dr. Virgil Olson spoke on “A World View of Evangelism” and this was carried through in the daily sessions and evening rallies. There was a change of pace Thursday when everyone packed the gym to cheer the Bethel Royals to victory over their traditional rivals, Northwestern College, Minneapolis. Climaxing the week was a special rally Friday night when the Festival Choir sang. Several ministers’ wives pause to examine the Baptist General Conference display booth. Dr. Tozcr chats with H.

Vote United Students. US is for you! Vote Student Conservative for a year of unity and responsible government! These were only a few of the posters and slogans confronting the voter with the initiation of the party system in campus politics. Primary elections in the parties to choose candidates for office, a political rally in the ficldhouse and an intensive campaign by energetic party members were used to rouse student interest in the election of next year’s senate officers. The petition system was also used so that each candidate in order to be eligible had to have a petition with at least twenty-five signatures. This political experience will help to make students more intelligent citizens not only of the campus community but of their country as well. Numerous banners to identify the delegations, a band, and pompons played an important role in the political rally held on campus this year. Dr. Yaxley takes time out to counsel with a student. Regular counseling schedules were set up for the week. One of the small informal prayer meetings held during the week. DEEPER LIFE WEEK Realized Lack College life is often so full of studies, classes, working, and necessary extra curricular activities that the student feels a lack in the area of his spiritual growth. Special weeks such as Deeper Life Week are set up, not as a panacea for all spiritual ills, but rather as a time for the student to realize his lack in spiritual things and make an effort to find ways to make it up. This year’s speaker was Dr. Yaxley of Edgewater Baptist Church in Chicago. He spoke for the morning chapel worship service all week and every evening during a special vesper service. Special prayer meetings before and during the week resulted in interest on the part of the students and a good attendance at all of the meetings. 147 Ho, hum. sighs Ian Paterson as he gropes for the alarm clock. DORM LIFE 148 DORM LIFE A Typical Day “The only trouble with morning,” sighs the Bethel dorm resident, “is that it comes too early.” This is only one of many problems to be faced in a typical dormitory. Some other big problems are people. They’re always dropping in when you want to study, discussing the “deep” things of life when you are trying to sleep, and popping popcorn when you’re on a diet. But these are welcome problems for a by-product of our college education is learning to live with other people. And besides the problems there are the good things you remember — the understanding ear of a roommate, the spiritual influence of prayer meeting and dorm fellowships, and even the good-natured water fights. The dormitory is more than a place to sleep when the activities of the day are over. Just ask anyone who lives there! Once up, he takes care of that overnight growth of stubble. Dr. Fagerstrom is trying but he can’t seem to break through to our hero. Of course one has to It's nice to have an official counsellor as room- study now and then. mate — especially when Ian has a problem. There arc serious times in the dormitory too when the fellows gather for a quiet prayer meeting. “On guard yells Ian. The other two have taken refuge in the washroom from the barrage of shaving cream. Can’t you ever let a fellow get to sleep? HUMOUR “Lift Pills” Editing a yearbook is a job composed of many variegated tasks. One of the largest and most important of these is that of deciding which photographs in what proportions go into the book. In the course of the year wc stare at the shadowy surfaces of hundreds of negatives or experiment with different sizes and shapes of an equal number of prints. At times the only thing which helps make our job seem worth all the long hours and seemingly endless frustrations is the occasional “funny” which we find in a batch of pictures and negatives received from the dark room. Pictures which contain the incongruous, the humourous, or the human side of life provoke a tension-relieving laughter and make us feel like living and working again. Because we feel that you might enjoy sharing some of these shots, it is with pleasure that we present some of our “lift pills” to you. The Editors.

SEMINARY DEAN AND FACULTY Keeping pace with the improved program of the college, the seminary this year has been an associate member of the American Association of Theological Schools and will soon be engaged in a self-study program aimed at attaining full accreditation. This improvement is due in part to the fine quality of faculty members. Besides a dedication to their job of teaching, they often serve as interim pastors or participate in pastor conferences and seminars. Due to the heavy responsibility of the dean, Virgil Olson was appointed registrar, but Dean Omark is still a busy man. Besides teaching, he supervises administrative functions, handles placement of graduates and requests for part time church work, issues the seminary catalogue and represents the seminary on the general administrative committee. These duties have been facilitated by rearrangement of the offices to provide for more space. CLARENCE B. BASS Ph.D. Systematic Theol. ALPHIN C. CONRAD A.A., Th.D. Evangelism, Theol.

And it is not only academic preparation — there has been much practical work too, for most of these men have held a student pastorate or have worked as youth leaders. Although many of them are married and have had to work to support their families, it has been a valuable time — valuable for the insights gained and the friendships made as well as for the theology studied. They will go out from Bethel Seminary with a deep sense of the responsibility God has laid upon them to utilize their training for the edification of their fellow Christians. We are proud and thankful for these newest leaders who will serve in our conference churches. VERNON ANDERSON ... North St. Paul, Minn. RALPH BECKSTROM ... Minneapolis, Minn. RALPH CARLSON ...

SEMINARY MIDDLEMEN Seminary Middleman Class Officers: John Swanson President,.Warren Nelson - Secretary, Marvin Anderson Vice President, and Roy Brottlund - Treasurer. More Dignified With one year of seminary training already behind him, the middleman is getting used to having a term paper due every week and it is easier now to give a sermon before his sympathetic but critical classmates. Already he is becoming more dignified as he feels himself nearer to the goal of becoming a full-fledged pastor. Through earnest discussions with fellow seminarians, lectures by godly professors, and intensive reading, he gains the broad background in theology and Biblical knowledge which will be absolutely necessary in the years to come. This is also a time of specific searching and prayer to find still more clearly God’s will and purpose for his life. There is still much to be done — many sermons to write, many practical jobs to carry out. But the middleman feels that the race is already half run and realizing the necessity of thorough preparation he settles himself to the task with patience and endurance. MARVIN ANDERSON ...

SEMINARY JUNIORS Beginning Again For some it is over after four years but for the seminary juniors it is the beginning all over again. Only this time it seems even harder. There are more papers to write, more books to read, more things to do in less time. And there is the added responsibility of increased church work for many. Seminary juniors are not too far removed from college life to enjoy a good game of basketball but they are aware of their own deeper calling. Many of them already have the increased duty of supporting a family and three years seems to stretch far into the future. It is a long time and the hardest part of the work is ahead but because they have accepted the challenge to go and preach they will be willing to spend this time getting ready. It will take courage but they will not have to stand alone.

Gospel r y, % V 5 r 199 200 Thank You, It is with a sense of relief and deep satisfaction that we come to this last page of the 1958 SPIRE. Although the editorship has been a most demanding position, we believe it to have been a valuable learning experience for which we are grateful. We would like to express sincere appreciation to Mr. Fredell, our helpful and patient printer; to our advisor and staff, without whose work this book wouldn’t be possible; and to Dr. Roy Dalton, Dr. Clarence Bass, Keith Davis, and Edna Schultz, who gave valuable suggestions and help. So we come to the end of this annual and another school year. It is our hope that this SPIRE will bring back numerous memories of a year well-spent at Bethel.
