CARl G. BURTON To this distinguished alumnus, Christian leader and loyal friend of Bethel, this 1959 SPIRE is dedicated. Dr. Burton’s association with Bethel began in the academy from which he was graduated in 1920. He then went on to Macalcstcr College and to the University of Minnesota where he received his Doctor of Medicine degree in 1926. Dr. Burton has served on the staff of the Mounds Park Hospital, on boards and committees of other church and civic organizations, and as Deacon and Vice Chairman of the Payne Avenue Baptist Church in St. Paul. For fourteen of the years of dedicated service as a member of the Board of Education of the Baptist General Conference, he was Chairman of the Board, during that time he gave untiring leadership to six of the building programs on the Bethel campus. 2 IN MEMORIAM VAUGHN UHR While enjoying a beautiful autumn afternoon on the Mississippi River, Vaughn Uhr was unexpectedly taken from us. Because it was so early in the school year, most of the newer students did not know Vaughn; yet everyone on our campus felt a strange impact from the sudden news. The upperclassmen remembered a young man who was striking in his friendliness, sincerity, and frankness; one who was eager to converse; one who took an unusual interest in the other person. They especially remembered one who tried always to be true to himself, accepting for his own only that which he had discussed, criticized, and had found to be genuine. Looking to the Psalmist, we read, “So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” 3 Psalm 90:12 Gerald Holmes delivers his senior sermon which marks one of the last steps in his seminary training. Bethel Theological Seminary had its inception in 1871 when John Alexis Edgren founded the institution in Chicago. After other locations, in 1914 it returned to St. Paul, this time to the familiar landmark that now houses the school. The guiding principle of the Seminary is harmonious with the original direction outlined by its founder. Its purpose is to advance the world-wide propagation of the gospel specifically by providing training for those divinely called into the ministry. SEMINARY BUILDING CAMPUS LANDMARK 6 COLLEGE BUILDING Dr. Mouncc discusses a proposed class project with a group of his students RAPID DEVELOPMENT In tracing the history of the College Building the progression of Bethel’s growth as an educational institution is apparent. The Seminary was relocated in St. Paul in 1914 in connection with an academy. In 1931 the academy was replaced by a junior college program. In 1947 the senior college was added and Bethel graduated its first class with the bachelor degree in 1949. Bethel College is outstanding in maintaining an atmosphere of intellectual stimulation with a pervasive evangelical spirit; in short, “A Campus of Christian Scholarship.” LIBRARY A recent addition to the Bethel library student facilities is the study area which is widely used and appreciated. INTELLECTUAL RESOURCES As an institution of higher education, Bethel’s library is an integral part of the means and resources that facilitate learning. A continually growing number of books and periodicals implement the readers’ spiritual, as well as intellectual, development. Bethel students enjoy unrestricted access to the stacks and to the reference and reserve shelves. Language listening facilities are an advantageous innovation this year. A music listening room is provided in the mezzanine. The new Ralph Larson Memorial Chapel is a salient reminder that this is “holy ground.” 8 FIELDHOUSE VERSATILE AND FUNCTIONAL With a new significance, “versatility” is the key feature of the field-house. Though it is primarily a gymnasium, it houses many social activities and, to an even larger extent, dramatic productions. Improved lighting and sound systems and a new stage allowed the ficldhousc to function as an auditorium more adequately. These many and varied activities reflect the co-operation and integration that characterizes the program of Bethel. “Whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.” The purchase of a new trampoline for the ficldhousc has been greeted with much enthusiasm. Here Denny Kirkcndall demonstrates the proper form for a backflip. 9 Bodien Residence for Women. Hagstrom Residence for Married Couples DORMITORIES CELLS FOR LIVING As every dormitory resident soon learns, not all of education is derived solely from lectures and books. The fine art of living together is difficult to master but invaluable to attain. This axiomatic truth is significant to one living in the Bethel community as a dormitory resident. Maintaining a consistent witness is a most rigorous test of one’s Christian profession but the potential spiritual satisfaction of imparting a positive direction to a young person’s life is priceless. 10 Edgren Residence for Men Thesis Synthesis Antithesis 'TO KNOW HIMSELF, TO APPRECIATE HIS HERITAGE, TO UNDERSTAND THE WORLD, TO DEVELOP CRITICAL JUDGMENT AND INTELLECTUAL ALERTNESS.' WITH THESE DIFFICULT OBJECTIVES IN MIND, THE PROFESSORS BEGIN EACH LECTURE, THE ADMINISTRATION DEVELOP AND THE STUDENT SERVICES MAINTAIN THE FACILITIES. IT IS LEFT FOR THE STUDENT TO ENTER EACH CLASSROOM WITH A THIRST TO KNOW, A DESIRE TO UNDERSTAND, AND A WILLINGNESS TO ADJUST AS HE SEES THE TRUTH CONTENTS ACADEMIC 14 Administration 16 Departments 20 Student Services 30 CLASSES 36 Seniors 38 Juniors 46 Sophomores 52 Freshmen 60 SEMINARY 72 Faculty 74 Seniors 76 Middlemen 80 DR.

ANDERSON Dean of Women F.FFIF. V. NELSON LEADERS Confidence in your leaders is vital in your educational experience. We at Bethel are fortunate to have administrative leaders who consistently inspire such confidence in their ability. Mundane problems that occur day by day are handled with such efficiency and tact that we seldom realize their existence. Then there are those unusual happenings which we have seen so ably managed. President Lundquist’s competent leadership has been seen in the striking changes in the Bethel campus during the last several years. Physical improvements provide a greater comfort and convenience in living. Important academically are the extensive curriculium revisions that accompanied the adoption of the semester system. The new office of the Dean of Students has been effective in handling the student’s multifarious problems and needs. The next decade will continue to see unusual changes at Bethel. In the next decade of advance at Bethel, we are assured that as scholars and Christians our administration will give us competent leadership. 16 BOARD OF EDUCATION ... first row: Paul Lundgrcn, Trcas., Wilford Anderson, Chm., Arnold T.

Leonard Carroll, Arnold D. Wicklund. Robert Anderson, (not pictured: G. Leonard Erikson, Sigurd Esselstrom) Assistant to the President, Mr. H. Wyman Malmsten travels extensively soliciting the financial resources necessary for the operation of the school. Over-all promotional planning is his responsible task. Business Manager, Mr. Harold Lidbom, is responsible for the business administration of the school and for the execution of the investment policies of the Board of Education. Director of Public Relations, Mr. Nels Stjernstrom, has as his responsibility student recruitment, school publicity, denominational and community service and the overseeing of Bethel Alumni relationships. Director of Admissions, Mr. Royal F. Bloom is responsible for determining a student’s eligibility for admission. During the school year he is also in charge of the testing and guidance programs. Registrar, Dr. Roy Dalton heads registration procedures, the making out of class schedules, the determining of classroom assignments, and the scheduling of final examinations. Executive Secretary, Miss Edna Schultz has the busy schedule of handling prospective student correspondence, applications for admissions, registration and final grade reports. She is the source of information for puzzled students. Mr. Royal Bloom and his secretary, Miss Edna Schulty, check on the admission qualifications of a prospective student- COLLEGE OFFICE DIRECTION OFFERED While the prospective student anxiously awaits notice of his acceptance, the Office of Admissions is very busy. The applicants high school transcript and character references must be thoroughly evaluated before it is decided whether or not a college education will be profitable. If accepted, an advisor is assigned and final arrangements are completed. The responsibility of guidance only begins with the decision to accept application. Standardized tests to determine vocational interest, natural aptitude, and scholastic achievement give helpful direction to each student. Bursar, Mr. Milford Carlson, is in charge of financial accounting, student payroll and billing, and the collection of the college revenue. Incidental to this, he occasionally plays the organ for chapel services. Office Manager, Miss Edith Larson. serves as personnel director, supervises off-campus housing and Hag-strom apartments, and has charge of the payroll, board of education, and alumni records. Eugene Sprinkel, an addition to the staff this year, is serving as assistant in the office of Student Affairs. Student employment is his special responsibility. BUSINESS and EMPLOYMENT WEALTH IN AND OUT Financial matters are vitally related to acquiring a college education; this fact is most poignantly portrayed in the expressions of total frustration of unanticipating freshmen. Bethel satisfies the banking needs of its students. Besides handling the accounts of students, the banking office keeps the financial records of the school. Because of the pecuniary demands of this office, many students find it necessary to supplement their income. The Student Affairs Office aids the student by supplying leads to both campus and area employment. Mrs. Eunice Stahl brings Ken Baird’s banking account up to date.

INTELLECTUAL VITALITY Bethel is thankful for the men and women who have come to its campus to give academic leadership to each of our departments. The Administration demands the best in academic and spiritual qualifications so that Bethel’s dual emphasis of Christ-centeredness and scholarship might be perpetuated. Each teacher feels that this is God’s place for him at this time and many have forsaken far more lucrative positions to answer this calling. To be sure, these scholars are specialists in their chosen fields. However, despite the demands of their teaching responsibilities they constructively apply their talents to a host of varied activities. Churches and institutions of higher education throughout the country along with local church and civic groups are also influenced by our faculty. Though many have reached the coveted doctorate each feels a responsibility to keep abreast of current developments in his field. Bethel will continue to grow academically as long as its faculty is characterized by this intellectual vitality. 20 SCIENCE and MATHEMATICS NEW ADDITION An addition to the course program of the Biological Science department was Biology Seminar, a zoology course conducted on an extensive reading and discussion basis. The Physical Science department witnesses a constantly increasing number of students on a four year science program. A course in modern physics is anticipated shortly. Three upper division mathematics courses have been added this year to increase the mathematics cirriculum to twenty-five hours. This addition has made possible a mathematics minor and a teaching major in mathematics. Judy Dicker and Dick Greaves try to solve a 3-hydroxy-mcthyl-l hcptanol during chemistry class. °A non-cxistant alcohol V.

Northwestern University 21 BUSINESS CHRISTIANITY PRACTICAL TRAINING The lure of becoming a proficient typist, stenographer or business machine operator is drawing an increasing number of both men and women into the business courses. Besides the basic courses of typing, shorthand and accounting, students are trained in the operation of the latest office machines. Amid the “Grand Central Station” atmosphere of clicking and whirring machines, students prepare for vocations such as church secretaries, or missionaries as well as for business careers. These courses provide a good foundation for prospective business majors. ELLEN LEHR Assistant Professor of Business M A. Iowa State Teachers College DIRECT TRAINING Although the purposes of Bethel College demand that all areas of learning can augment the Christian witness, the Department of Christianity has been established on the conviction that areas relating more directly to the Christian life constitute a significant area of study in themselves. Added to the department this year have been Dr. Robert Mounce and Dr. Olaf Olsen. Dr. Mounce has made possible a significant increase in the Bible cirriculum with an additional sequence next year. Dr. Olsen teaches “Expansion of Christianity.” � CLIFFORD LARSON Chairman of the Department of Christianity Ph.D. University of Southern California PAUL R.

To accomplish this goal, the department has sponsored debate tournaments, after-dinner speaking contests and oratorical contests. The organizing of the National Honor Society, Lambda lota Tau for the encouragement of creative thinking also symbolizes this goal. Reading, speaking and writing - the students in this department sharpen these most basic skills of the Liberal Arts. CHRIS WEINTZ Instructor in English M.S.

FINE ARTS DEPARTMENT OBJECTIVES CARRIED OUT The Department of Fine Arts has three objectives: (1) To extend the cultural and aesthetic background of all students in the college by the development of musical and artistic interests and skills; (2) To offer students with a major interest in music and art specialized training to equip them as public school teachers; (3) To train leaders in church music, such as organists and choir directors. These objectives are carried out by student participation in an introductory fine arts course, recitals, art cx- EUGENE JOHNSON Associate Professor of Art M.F.A.

It was employed this year to fire clay sculpture and further applications are anticipated. New in the Music Department this year arc Mrs. Harry Opel and Julius Whittenger. Mrs. Opel taught piano and organ during the second semester. Mr. Whittenger came to Bethel from a Navy career. He directs the band, teaches music theory, and gives private instrumental instruction. In addition, his leadership has been significantly felt in the formation of a brass and string ensemble. C.

With the guidance of Mr. Wheeler the college purchased equipment for this lab. There are twelve booths, five sets of earphones and a record player which allows each student to listen and write or stop without disturbing the others. Students of German and Spanish have also made use of the tapes taken from messages received through our amateur radio facilities.

HISTORY AND POLITICAL SCIENCE GROWTH As Bethel grows, so do its departments. The department of history and political science this year added to its staff Dr. Olaf Olsen, whose doctoral study was done at the University of Colorado. The year also saw growth and increased value in the readings courses in history which were begun two years ago. A new readings course in political science is to be instituted next year. The course will give our political scientists opportunity to observe political theory and practice in the materials of American history.

Through studying different philosophies and ethical systems, students are encouraged to evaluate life questions and answers and to develop life views of their own. New to the Department of Philosophy this year Mr. Lawrence Starkey. Before coming to Bethel he served as research writer for science films and television at Moody Institute of Science. This year his teaching responsibility has included most of the courses offered by the department. W. ROBERT SMITH Chairman of the Department of Philosophy Th.D., Southern Baptist Theological Seminary SWAN ENCWALL Associate Professor of Psychology and Philosophy M.A. University of California LAWRENCE STARKEY Associate Professor of Philosophy M.A. University of Southern California Ph.D. candidate, U.S.C. PHYSICAL EDUCATION A NEW MINOR For the first time in its history, Bethel is graduating a group of young men with physical education minors. Since the state of Minnesota now requires such a minor for high school coaching, this program will become increasingly important and beneficial to our college program. Next year a course in coaching football, basketball, baseball and track will be added to this program. New to the faculty this year, the department welcomed Mr. Jerome Thompson, recently coach at Ripon College, Wisconsin.

TEACHING AND OBSERVATION From our education department this year there are twenty-five determined student teachers trying to figure out whether their students are geniuses, dull, neurotic or just average. An introduction course to education is now being offered on the sophomore level for those students who wish to transfer and for those who are undecided vocationally. An outstanding experience for one psychology class was Anoka State Hospital where they were shown around to the various cottages fo observe the actions of the patients. t ROYAL BLOOM Professor of Psychology.

BETTY A. DANIELSON Instructor in Social Work. M.A. University of Minnesota HARLAND S. MICKELSON Instructor in Sociology M.A. University of Minnesota Individual initiative and study is becoming the keynote of upper division work in the social sciences. A unique development in the Social Work program this year has been the inclusion of practical field work in cooperation with social agencies of the metropolitan area. Sociology students have engaged in several projects of individual interest. Students of anthropology have directed much study toward situations relative to missionary work. New to the department is Linwood Barney, a part-time instructor at St. Paul Bible College. DAVID O. MOBERG Associate Professor of Sociology, Chairman of the Dcpartmnct of Social Sciences Ph.D. University of Minnesota G. LINWOOD BARNEY Instructor in Anthropolgy M.A. University of Minnesota PRACTICAL FIELD WORK 29 STUDENT SERVICES Pat Rotlgcrs helps Marilyn Peterson and Ginny Lou Peterson reach a book on missions in the College bookstore. Mary E. Olson better watch those calories. Elaine Johnson follows behind her in the cafeteria line. Judy Anderson and Rosemary Mook listen attentively to Joyce Ford as they relax in the coffee shop. WILLING TO HELP “A hamburger with,” “Overdue,” “Meal ticket, please,” “A green one every two hours,” — These phrases represent a group of people on campus, many of whom work quietly in the background. To serve the students is the aim of these workers upon whom the welfare of the Bethel community vitally depends. Wherever a student goes on campus he will find people who are there to serve him. The health service provides medications for minor ailments, nursing care for illnesses, and competent direction in time of serious emergency. A look at the dining hall kitchen will find the staff busily at work preparing the next meal for a hungry group of students. No Bethel student could get along very well without the Bethel Bookstore. Bill Malam and his staff are on hand to serve the student, six days a week. The Coffee Shop, the center of Bethel’s social life, is one student service without which no Bethelite could exist happily. LIBRARY NORTH AND SOUTH Reaching out in both directions, to the Liberal Arts College and to the Theological Seminary, the library is a central part of the Bethel campus. Possibly the most important function of the library is that of serving as a reservoir of knowledge, supplementary to the classroom. The social aspect of this establishment is perhaps frowned upon but occasionally does serve diverse purposes. This year, Mrs. R. Peterson was added to the full-time staff, while the services of a professional librarian-consultant were periodically used. DAVID GUSTON Associate Librarian B.D.

DORM SUPERVISION FILL A VOID The student away from home soon realizes that mother didn’t come with. There is now no one to straighten the room, to cater to his food fancies, to solace his griefs. To partially fill this void, is the purpose of the Dorm staff. The dormitory supervisor’s role is flexible to the many needs of the residents, overseer to the governing council, the contact with the administration, the listener to “ups and downs.” Supplementing this, the counsellors adjust to, and attempt to help their diverse floor-mates. Jan Lindquist, Carolyn Tcnovc. and Sylvia Jackson are Lindy Magnuson, Mrs. Moberg, Ed Erickson, and Nils caught in a discussion of counselling problems with Fribcrg take time out from counselling to have a cup Ma. Chris. of coffee. HEALTH SERVICE ON CALL With the aid of an unknown number of mirrors, nurse Marion Reimer supervises the Bethel Health Service, patiently tending to all the aches and pains of the many campus residents. Nurses attending Bethel give assistance to this important service which is “on call” twenty four hours a day. Dr. Vernon Sommerdorf, the school physician, is consulted for the more serious cases, while a consulting psychologist, Mr. Forrest Vance, is available for special conferences and advice seldom given publicity but always ready when needed, these serve faithfully. Nurse Marion Rcimcr weighs Margie Elvcn to check on her diet progress. Carol Young and Wanda Bull offer their services to Tim Sward. Marilyn Swanson eagerly awaits doctor Sommerdorf’s throat examination. Was it tonsilitis? Mr. Forrest Vance, consulting psychologist, intently listens to the cameraman’s story. 33 Office staff: Elizabeth Pander. Florence Oman. Minnie Gustavson.

ANDERSON Grantsburg, Wisconsin Treasurer Major: Music Education SENIORS THE RECESSIONAL The somber mortarboard is no more flattering than the green beanie, but it is symbolic of the metamorphosis of a student. The swish of the tassel in the graduate’s eye reminds him of the culmination of four years of hyperactivity. The last notes of the recessional propel Mr. Senior out of the scholastic cell into a life of challenges. The Class of ’59 has seen unusual changes in the Bethel Block. Cement runways and the mid-campus ‘observatory’ have replaced the spring flood. The new dorm wings, tennis courts, and the remodeled dining hall have now lost their novelty. The overhauled Senate elections have let in the politicians. A broadened curriculum has strengthened particularly the Senior College. New faces have been added each year to the faculty. These graduates have appreciated the progressive attitude which has been evident in the school’s leadership, and now, as they leave, are proud of their Bethel diploma, the College of their choice.

Responsible student government positions take the place of the many committee roles. Survey courses give way to more concentrated study areas. Serious occupational decisions are demanded. The fellows now scan the Roster with a furrowed brow. Despite occasional disappointments, the Junior year secs many goals attained. Transfer students play important roles in class and all-school events. Enrolling at Bethel for their senior college work, these late-comers capably replace the sophomores who were graduated, or who left for more specialized training. The success of two major events lies in the hands of these third-year men. Making full use of the school's increasing stage facilities, the Juniors co-operate with their superiors in the annual Junior-Senior Class Play. Then amid flattering formals and tuxedos, the extensive plans of the Junior-Senior Banquet provide a fitting climax for the school social year.

Minnesota Secretary JOANNE HUDSON Bremerton, Washington Treasurer “OLD PROS” Seasoned and confident, the “old pros” of the Sophomore class returned to the campus of side walks. There were friendships to be renewed and repaired, concepts to be challenged, and mundane problems to be hurdled. Here was the big year! The accomplishments were notable. Freshmen were properly introduced by various measures to the Bethel life. “Nik Dag” was ably produced, and inci-dently, did effect some desired “friendships.” Homecoming projects resulted in healthy co-operation by many of the comrades. The events of “Sno-Daze” gave occasion to the more energetic and the warm-blooded to earn some cherished trophy. This is the year of the “pot-pouri.” From a scrambled group of introductory courses, the Sophomore must decide his major interest field, then plunge into the serious specialized study of his upperdivision years. 52 CHARLES ADELSMAN Fergus Falls, Minnesota CLASS OF 1961 CARL AMANN Garden City.

Not another line!” to incoming freshmen, many of whom were reported lost amidst stacks of tally cards and cluttered library tables during registration. After paying an endless number of fees and standing in an insufferable amount of lines, the new students were all too glad to board the bus for Big Trout Lake and their first social event as a class, the Freshman Retreat. Soon books replaced beanies and sleepless nights ceased to be a novelty. Election of class officers and Freshman Sweetheart and participation in Homecoming activities helped freshmen to become socially integrated with the rest of the student body. By this time freshmen have discovered that college life is a vitalizing experience. And, more important, they have learned that greater prospects lie ahead, that this is only the beginning. 60 ROGER ADELSMAN Fergus Falls, Minnesota RUSSELL ADELSMAN Fergus Falls, Minnesota DONNA AITON Chicago, Illinois BARBARA ANDERSON Minneapolis, Minnesota DAVID B.

Afraid to face the world? These might be some of the embarrassing questions asked of the graduated seniors who return for their fifth (or more?) year. In reality the most popular reason for returning is to acquire a teaching certificate from one of the newest departments on campus. A close second is a devotion to one’s major field. In the final analysis, all of these graduated students will admit that it was good to return. Homecoming was the first (and incidentally, the last) challenge that this group chose to accept. In spite of their limited number and with the needed help of several seniors, they entered a float in the competition, taking seventh place (this position reflects in no way to a wagon from the Hcaly family). It might not have taken the blue ribbon, but it certainly gained attention.

OMARK Dean of Seminary VIRGIL A. OLSON Registrar of Seminary THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY PROGRESS There have been additions to the faculty one of which is Dr. Robert Mounce offering his intellectual abilities in the field of Greek. Rev. Gordon G. Johnson will arrive next year to teach in the field of homiletics. A study of the curriculum is being made by Rev. Glenn W. Samuclson, pastor of the Green-belt Baptist Church, Maryland, as his doctoral dissertation in Education at the University of Maryland. Other studies arc being made, working toward the eventual goal of full accreditation. The Seminary is an associate member of the American Association of Theological Schools. The faculty members are by no means standing still academically. Dr. Clarence Bass and Professor Reuben Omark read papers at the Evangelical Theological Society and the other faculty members have been attending professional meetings in their own fields. The student body, too, is moving forward, ever striving for academic achievement and a grasp of the knowledge and methods to equip them for God’s service. While some of the immediate goals have been stated, the entire Seminary agrees that its ultimate goal is the glorification of God. CLARENCE B.

CABLE Akelcy, Pennsylvania Treasurer SEMINARY SENIORS EXHAUSTING ACTIVITY The Seminary senior at the time of his graduation has at least seven years of College and Seminary training behind him. These are long years, but in light of the prodigious responsibilities of a minister of Jesus Christ, this amount of preparation is requisite. The activities of the Senior Year are diverse and exhausting. The student must take particular care to uncover any obscure required courses not yet taken. The Senior Sermon must be prepared, polished, and delivered before faculty and fellow-students in a chapel service. Doctrinal statements are required. Then the threatened Comprehensive Exams are scheduled, forcing the student to blow the dust off of his dormant library. As the graduated seniors begin their ministry, their common prayer is that they may increase “in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.” 76 MARVIN W.

Here, Seminary Council chairman Dick Ottoson explains the suggested structural plan of the co-operative Senates. Active in the aggregate life of the Seminary, the Council operates in three important areas, the Chapel Committee, the Social Committee and the Theological Discussions Committee. Council members present here arc Bob Frykholm, Nils Friberg, Marv Anderson, Glen Ogren and George Dvirnak. 79 MIDDLEMEN EDWIN ERICKSON JR. Ncllorc Andhra, So. India President GEORGF. BAXTER Nipawin, Sask., Canada Vice President CLYDE ROGERS Duluth, Minnesota Treasurer RACE HALF RUN There is still much to be done —many sermons to write, many practical work cards to be returned, but the Middleman knows that the race is already half run. He now realizes the necessity of thorough preparation and faces his final year with increasing confidence and skills. Throughout the past year, the Middleman has endeavored to prepare himself through group discussions, lecture sessions, and informal chats with fellow seminarians concerning the crucial issues of Biblical knowledge and theological understanding. The preparation has not come easily, but the Middleman looks with keen anticipation to the fast-approaching years in the ministry, the power of his pulpit, the quiet resources of his study, the influence of his counsel, and the riches of a life of service for his Master. The Middleman will soon step into his senior year, poised for the last turn that will send him into the Greatest Task. 80 J.

SHEARER Greeley, Colorado Secretary-Treasurer SEMINARY JUNIORS A REFRESHING CHANGE Animal Husbandry, Political Science, Organic Chemistry, Greek, and Literature. Their College majors are as varied as their shoe sizes, but all of these men enter the Seminary with a common goal of theological training. Skilled with four years of collegiate efforts, the novice warily attempts to appraise the strange Profs and the valedictorians in the classes. It looks like a tough year. First year courses such as Greek, Homiletics, and Old Testament are refreshing after the student’s secular study at a University. Although these are more pages to be read, and weekly ‘term’ papers, there is a new feeling of reward received for the hours of preparation. Who will make a good ‘scribe’?, is a vital question for these Juniors at the Fall Retreat. After a few ‘contacts’ on the touch football field, and half a night of tiring jokes in the cabins, their class election is held. These selected men must lead their fellow initiates in a year of business, prayer, and fellowship. 82 JOHN F. ANDERSON Houston, Texas JOEL A. BERMUDEZ Chicago, Illinois GEORGE E.

YOUNGQUIST St. Paul, Minnesota SEMINARY RETREAT RELAXATION REIGNS Planned to increase the fellowship among Bethel Seminary students, the Second Annual Fall Retreat proved to be an enjoyable success. Stressing discussions and opportunities to get acquainted, formal meetings were kept to a minimum. This was a time for relaxation and individual expression. Many of these Seminarians were, or considered themselves to be, able men of sport in their college days. Perhaps their memories are a bit faulty or their family life too soft, but considerable discomfort was felt the next morning upon arising. However, it was the opinion of both students and faculty that these days were rewarding. Dick Ottoson made it to the evening session, but it looks as though he was one of those who overexerted during the day. Bob Fricdcrichscn and his teammates are thinking it will take more than a good man in homiletics to explain Dr. Clarence Bass seems to be using a little more than his knowledge of why Dr. Curtis has his hand on the Systematic Theology to put a block on Howie Rekstad. net. 85 _________________________________________________________________________________________ “VARIETY ALONE GIVES JOY.” Matthew Prior KNOWLEDGE AND TIMBER SHOULDN'T BE MUCH USED 'TIL THEY ARE SEASONED WITH SALT.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT SCOPE BROADENED The student senate has broadened its field of representation of the Bethel student body. This year they helped organize the seven member Twin City College Student Government Conference and the nation-wide Association of Evangelical Students in addition to continuing participation in the National Student Association. Special committees worked on campus problems. A policy to solve the parking problem, a source of friction between the college and the neighbors, will go into effect next year. Dress-up night was re-established by the social etiquette committee. This summer all students will receive a pre-campus publication, explaining what is expected of the Bethel student, prepared by this committee. Freshman week, prospective students days, political emphasis week, and leadership retreats were senate sponsored. Reorganization of the Bethel student association into two separate groups was recommended by the senate, defeated in a student association vote, but still being discussed for future consideration. 90 STUDENT SENATE EVALUATE TRADITION An important determinant of the quality of education at Bethel College is the composition of the student body. This student body is represented here at Bethel by the Student Senate. One of the primary functions of the Student Senate is to examine and evaluate traditional thinking and procedures and to develop adequate relationships between students and members of the faculty and administration. This year we fee 1 that Student Senate has maintained a freshness of thinking and approach in its contribution. STUDENT SENATE . . . Robert Ricker, Ron Vcenkcr, Donate Scnsion, Gaynor Moline.

VARIED PROGRAMS A Christian College places an unusual emphasis on the religious life of the student, demonstrated at Bethel by the activity of the Religious Council. Week-end events such as a film, special music, or a ‘mystery night’ kept this council busy, along with the planning of Monday chapels, and the handling of Friday missionary offerings. This year they sponsored ‘soul winning’ classes with the Rev. Curtis Akenson, and cooperated with other groups in promoting gospel teams, prayer meetings, and special weeks. SOCIAL COUNCIL . . - Larry Nelson. Phil Peterson. Elloa Lenning. Stewart Luckman (Chairman), Virginia Wcispfenning, Elaine Johnson, Dr. Clarence Bass. SOCIAL COUNCIL LEARNING OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM The Social Council this year has been concerned with higher education. It yearned to become an integral part of Bethel College. It wanted to view itself as “learning outside the classroom” and knew it was a group which could affect the college and its curriculum either favorably or adversely. Realizing this they then tried to inaugurate cooperative action with the faculty and administration. The Social Council tried to make a radical reexamination of the worth of many components of student life. After reexamination, they then put the emphasis on quality and inexpense. 92 ATHLETIC COUNCIL STRESS PARTICIPATION Striving toward the goal of increased student enthusiasm and school spirit, the athletic council is a busy group. Providing publicity for approaching athletic events and maintaining an active intramural program for both men and women are a few of its responsibilities. The activities of the Cheerleaders, which this year included the organization of a pep club, are governed by the council. A highlight of the year was the revival of the “Koffee Kup” game between faculty and students. ATHLETIC COUNCIL . . .

Equally significant is the sponsoring of such dormitory activities as pre-dawn breakfasts, the Heart Sis program, weekly dorm fellowships and floor prayer meetings. Each year this council does a commendable job in guiding the combined efforts of the residents for open-house at Homecoming and Christmas. HAGSTROM DORM COUNCIL ... F.. Holt-worth, D. Intvcld, J. Austring, R. Hornsby. HAGSTROM HAGSTROM DORM COUNCIL Since married students are usually occupied with domestic concerns, they often find it difficult to participate in extra activities. This year, however, through the determined efforts of the executive committee and the unusual cooperation of the residents, Hagstrom won first prize in the Homecoming decorations. Whether it be borrowing an egg from a neighbor, chatting in the laundry room, or playing tag at a skating party, Hagstrom residents feel a real sense of unity and fellowship. 94 EDGREN EDGREN DORM COUNCIL The control and direction of the 150 fellows living in Edgren Residence is largely in the hands of the Dorm Council. The frequent meetings of this group give occasion for much discussion on matters of import ranging from bar-bells to kitchen utensils. A monitor system was established this year upon the special advice of Administration and proved successful in facilitating a better organized life at Edgren. The intimate contacts with a roommate and those ‘down the hall’ prove to be of lasting significance to dormitory residents. EDGREN DORM COUNCIL . . . James Counihan, Ray Duncan, John A.

CREATING INTEREST The editorial policy of the Clarion has aimed at creating interest in, stimulating thought about, and arousing discussion on world affairs, national politics, and special problems of education as well as promoting campus activities and discussing campus problems. A balance of articles of academic, cultural, religious, social, and athletic interest has been attempted.

VISION DRIVES Looking at deadlines from the wrong side is not recommended by the authorities, but, because of the periodic laxity or ignorance of the staff, this phenomenon occurs. The vision of your name and notions in print, being read by sundry across the continent, drives this group to production. The task of a yearbook extends throughout the greater part of the year but the glory comes only at the end when finals are over and the suitcases are packed. Then the Spire has its day — bringing to memory a year of unique experiences. Bud Malmsten, business manager, and his Ass’t., Jim Counihan, making an important contact - for ads!

CLUBS VARIETY OF OUTLETS Except for the variety of clubs on the Bethel campus, there would be many skills which would remain latent during the students’ collegiate experience. Whether this interest pertains to radios or cameras, to Swedish and Greek, or to fellowship with the other wives, there usually is an organized club available. The general aim of these groups co-curricular activities is to effectively channel such talents into an educational experience. Most important, close personal contacts result in lasting friendships. A characteristic feature of these organizations is their flexibility. As a dominant student need and interest becomes apparent, those with similar objectives form their group. Conversely, the oldtimers have seen the quiet disappearance of clubs which were once very active. As the interest decreased, so did these groups. The mature counsel of the faculty advisors has been continually appreciated in aiding the smooth functioning of these many clubs. 100 DEBATE ISSUES SOLVED “Resolved: That Further Testing and Development of Nuclear Weapons be Prohibited by International Agreement,’’ was the issue for debaters this year. Both teams traveled to Grand Forks, Sioux Falls, Eau Claire, and Madison as well as to several Twin City tournaments. At these tournaments, the teams also participated in after dinner speaking, oratory, extemporaneous speaking, oral interpretation and discussion. Many debaters are leaving this year. This means that next year there will be ample opportunity for interested students to be active in forensics. DEBATE TEAM: M. Chamberlain. C. Thomas, Q. Smith, Coach, D. Olkc, B. Hamcs, F. Borgcn.

This year’s major production was Lloyd Douglas’ “The Robe,” co-dircct-ed by Levina Krocker, and Shiela Compton. Because of its success, Bethel looks forward with anticipation to further efforts of the Royal Players. CAMERA CLUB: S. Sharman. A. Coomfces, L. Brown, K. Sherwood, J. Egan, B. Freiheit. CAMERA CLUB PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE Campus ‘shutter bugs’ unite in the Bethel Camera Club to talk over photography and learn new methods. During part of the year, a camera class was maintained to improve general technique in such fields as portraiture and color work. The darkroom gives the members the opportunity to pursue their hobbies further with practical experience. The group acts partly as a service organization for the campus in taking pictures of attractive individuals who interest the photographers. This year’s club has taken two field trips. 102 LETTERMEN’S CLUB CANOE TRIP Initiation! Swimming Party! Canoe Trip! These hit the top of the activity list for the Lettermen’s Club this year. Seventeen new lettermen “quietly” entered the ranks of “B” Club membership; the new “Y” was the scene of a lively swimming party; canoes shoved off from Fly, Minnesota the ninth of May. In addition to the concession stand at home basketball and football games, the Club also ushered at many of the school functions including Founder’s Week and musical presentations. B” CLUB: J.

CANADIAN CLUB PROVIDE INFORMATION Canadian students desire to contribute constructively to Bethel’s campus by providing information on Canada’s social, cultural, political, and economic developments. A few of the main projects undertaken this year were the acquiring of information on vocational possibilities in Canada, (building up) a file rack in the library for this information, and supplying the library with the Maclean's Magazine. Other aims included encouraging Canadian students to attend Bethel, helping them to adjust while here, and then encouraging them to return to Canada after their studies at Bethel arc completed.

Opening the school year with a Big n’ Little Sis Banquet given in honor of ilew students and the wives of new faculty members, the Bethel Women’s Association continued its activities with four afternoon meetings, the last of which was the Commencement Tea. Through its big and little sister plan and the afternoon teas, this organization sought to promote a spirit of Christion fellowship on a cultural level among both the single and the married women of the Bethel campus. Mrs. Ken Albright and Mrs. Keith King find it isn't necessary to give their sales talk to Wayne Kindcll. He is always willing to eat! STUDENTS WIVES ASSOCIATION SUPPORT MISSIONS The culinary talents of the members of the Students Wives Association were wisely employed this year raising proceeds in support of foreign missions. Bake sales and offerings gained the needed finances and were sent to the Fred Thomases and the Dick Var-bergs in the Philippines. The monthly meetings of this organization ranged from special speakers to “mixers” and demonstrations of “how-to’s,” meeting the need for fellowship among our married students. 104 B. A. R. C. BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! The hopes that were expressed in September of 1954 came to fruition this year as amateur radio at Bethel became a reality. Despite humble beginnings, the club now owns a fine receiver and transmitter plus several invaluable accessories. Funds have come in from interested groups and individuals but the club members themselves have made significant contributions in money, as well as time. The central emphasis of the Bethel Amateur Radio Club is missionary communications. The club participates daily in the Missionary Communications Network. RADIO CLUB: Sharon Swanson. Ken Fuller.

Bethel’s first chapter in a National Honor Society, the Beta Beta Chapter, requires that its members have a B average in all literature and foreign language courses as well as high scholastic standing generally. The society, begun last spring, has held several meetings, at one of which members of the Augsburg College Chapter were guests. GERMAN CLUB . . . Martin Pcr.ncr, Ray Duncan, Marc Valdas, Miss Nelson, Alan Penner. GERMAN CLUB WIR STUDIEREN DEUTSCH The purpose of this club is to promote interest in both the German language and culture. The Membership includes those enrolled in German classes and others interested in German culture. At Homecoming, the German Club joined with other language clubs in decorating a float. Some of the other activities were a German Christmas program, which included caroling in the halls, a talk and slides of Germany by fraulein Marlys Malmsten, and the enlargement of the language laboratory for the students' use. 106 SPANISH GUATEMALA . . . THE LAND OF THE QUETZAL This year the Spanish club was happy for the visit of thirty Guatemalan students from the University of San Carlos. They stayed in our dormitories for two nights and spoke in chapel of the need for a Christian witness among university students in Latin America. Bethel students were eager to talk with them in Spanish. Because of the visit some students have begun to correspond with them. While here, they attended a discussion on race relations, led by Dr. Wal-fred Peterson and Dr. David Mobcrg. These students were eager to try to understand the present racial problem in the United States and we were interested in hearing their discussion of the racial problem in Latin America, where some have thought that no racial prejudice exists.

SWEDISH CLUB SWEDISH CLUB: Morrie Anderson, Donna Peterson, Joyce Blombcrg, Ruth Swanson, Mrs. Sjordal, Florence Ericson, Mauritz Anderson. ‘LUCIA FESTERS’ The Swedish Club has sought to promote an understanding of Scandinavian Culture to students at Bethel. This aim has been pursued by a study of customs at various seasons, such as the traditional ‘Lucia Fcst,’ ushering in of the Christmas holiday. Students have been encouraged to exploit the exceptional opportunities offered in the Twin Cities area for studying Scandinavian life through art, films, music and literature. The resulting attitude has been an increased awareness of the influence of Scandinavian thought on the contemporary American culture. 107 CHRISTIAN SERVICE Betty Fuller typifies the many Bethel Students who give their time to Christian Service. A vital part of every Bethel Student’s life is the daily chapel service. The International Smorgasbord, sponsored by the W. M. F., brought many foreign students to our campus. VITAL EXPERIENCE Students at Bethel are given the opportunity to participate in Christian service activities. With the direction of the Student Affairs Office, those wishing to use their talents in these activities arc called upon to serve in a variety of ways. Organized gospel teams composed of a leader, vocal and instrumental musicians and a speaker present programs for city missions and local groups as well as churches within a two hundred mile radius of the school. Individuals with speaking and musical ability often use their talents to serve local church groups. Several students are active in Young Life and Hi-C Clubs in city high schools and some teach Sunday School classes and serve as workers in boys’ and girls’ clubs. Realizing that these activities can be more than providing another program or serving as musical entertainment, many have used their opportunities as an expression of a concern to share their Christian experience with others. Students availing themselves of these opportunities in Christian service have often been a blessing as they minister and have had experience contributing to their own spiritual development. 108 W. M. F. THE GREAT COMMISSION This year’s change in name from “Foreign Missions Fellowship” to “World Missions Fellowship” reflected a growing conviction that fulfillment of the Great Commission cannot be limited in scope. Consistent with this reorientation was a Home Missions Emphasis Week and a meeting featuring our Alaskan work. We consciously realized the active ministry of the Holy Spirit among us as Lois Howat and Vernon Anderson left our student body for the mission field. As we wish them Godspeed we anticipate the commission of others in the future. Roger Erickson, president of the W. M. F., leads one of the meetings sponsored by the group. The International Smorgasbord features a great variety of food and costumes. There is also an opportunity to meet and converse with students of diverse backgrounds and faiths. 109 — t “IT WAKES THE SOUL AND LIFTS IT HIGH.” Addison no dstudenl Bethel’s Brass Choir appears to protect its solo french horn at a Bethel chapel hour.

STRUMENTATION Music truly is a significant part of Bethel. Second floor in the College Building reverberates with practice pianos, voices, trumpets, the typewriter in the Music Department office, and the rumble of the organ from the Chapel below. Music majors and minors are busy with classes from Theory to Instrumentation, but still find time to sing in Choir, Male Chorus, Women’s Choir, or play in the Band. Many play and sing in Chapel; others do Gospel team work; some direct local church choirs. All groups of the Music Department combine their talents at Christmas and graduation time to present the results of their practice and preparation. The eager anticipations of community and campus are justified by these outstanding performances. In these events and during the spring tours the Music Department effectively represents our school and our Lord. CONCERT BAND: Row 1: C. Brown, W. Carlson, P. Colon, L. Bergman, R. Ricker, L.

After being received by a car caravan with blue and gold streamers at one of the early stops, the Choir became accustomed to the unusual hospitality of these Columbia Conference people. The emerging reality of the books and the parched landscape of the midwest made it all-thc-morc difficult to face the square campus. Al Penncr leads the choir in a devotional session before one of their concerts. Gail Westoby and Lila Stimson discuss future choir tours as they pack. Choir members don sun glasses and smiles as they enter Choir members look over the menu as they settle down the train for their journey to the West. for refreshments and a long ride. The Second Annual Home Concert was highlighted by the tenor voice of Edward Lyman of New York. Dr. Paul Finley was guest soloist with the Chorus while on tour in South Dakota. MALE CHORUS NEW VENTURES In the annals of the Male Chorus, 1959 will be remembered as a year of new endeavors. Single-breasted tuxedoes and cummerbunds gave a more up-to-date appearance. The use of guest soloists played a major role in the year’s activities. Appearing with the Chorus on its first tour was Dr. Paul Finlay, baritone, who was wcll-rcccivcd by audiences and whose company was appreciated and enjoyed by the entire chorus. Other soloists used were Robert Mantzkc in Duluth and Edward Lyman in Minneapolis. Stan Johnson and Fred Olsen enthusiastically pack the bus for the coming Male Chorus trip. Area concerts, another of the year’s new ventures, proved to be very successful. Perhaps the most “radical experiment” of the year was the addition of the five females who were members of the brass ensemble which accompanied the Male Chorus. In place of a long tour this year three shorter trips were made through the midwest, climaxed by the Second Annual Homecoming Concert with Edward Lyman as guest soloist. 116 THE BETHEL COLLEGE AND SEMINARY MALE CHORUS.

WOMEN’S CHOIR HAPPY WANDERERS Student-director Ronn Veenker led the Bethel Women’s Choir in a group of concerts during the 1959 season. The hours spent in sectionals and combined practices were evidenced by their enjoyable performances both on-campus and during their tour. A weekend in the Worthington-Sioux Falls area provided the opportunity for these distant churches to share in the spirit and song of these co-eds. Getting acquainted with the girls, Mrs. Moberg left her duties in Edgren to chaperone this group of wandering girls. 118 Publicity chairmen B. Malmsten and T.

CHORAL RETREAT SECOND YEAR OUT Because of its initial success the preceding year, a fall music retreat was again held. Plunging into the year’s repertoire, the College Choir and the Male Chorus were again satisfied with the results, accomplishing several weeks’ work in two days. Going to Camp Lenanon, these groups reviewed the plans for their spring tours which ranged from Chicago to Vancouver. Another significant function was to welcome the new members, demonstrating to them the traditional Christian spirit of their song. The choir retreat of fun. music, and spiritual growth has come to an end. The choir is preparing to leave for Bethel. 121 This backdrop for Founders’ Week was provided by the art department. “Common John studies a display by the design students. One of our art students painted this scene for the production “Songs From The South Seas.” ART SELF EXPRESSION ENCOURAGED Development of proficiency in the visual arts demands a variety of learning experiences. At times, instruction is individual and rather intensive; other projects require only an occasional suggestion. However, self expression is always encouraged. Art activities include displays, art lectures, backdrops, Fine Arts Week, and a large variety of smaller projects such as posters and programs. These projects are not carried on by art students alone but by a great number of interested people. Political Emphasis Week is a time when anyone who can hold a brush or conceive an idea is put to work to publicize the merits of a candidate or political party. The backdrop for the Festival of Christmas represents the acme of effort by students and professor. So we see that art on campus consists of a large variety of activities involving many people, those who work on the projects and the many who view it with appreciation. 122 Ann Fribcrg, Betty Ohlin, and Art Coombes paint the backdrop used at the Christmas Festival. The members of the design class, under the watchful eye of their new instructor, Robert Nelson, put their creative minds to work on a class project.

Douglas’ The Robe. Effective staging and lighting, carefully chosen musical inserts and a sympathetic portrayal of each character helped to emphasize through the play the real meaning of Easter. The Royal Players were also invited to present the play at a Sunday evening service of Elim Baptist Church, Minneapolis. At various times during the year Saturday afternoon workshops were held for interested dramatists. The value of these workshops was seen in the year’s dramatic productions. The Junior-Senior play, “Twelve Angry Men,” was staged as a “theater-in-the-round” production. “Love Is Eternal’’ was presented by the Drama Workshop class. The expanding physical properties of this department enable a greater variety of plays to be presented. In a scene from The Robe we sec Rich Nygren (Marcellos), Ellen Polk (Diana), Roy Brottlund (Tiberius), and Pat Colon (Caligula).

S. Luck-man and Pres. Lundquist 128 CHAMPIONS On a cold, drizzly, windy day at Platteville, Wisconsin the Bethel Royals became Badger-Gopher Conference Champions by defeating Wisconsin Tech 19- 0. This was the Royals’ first championship in athletics and came with an undefeated record in conference play. Captain Stu Luckman said after the game, “I’m the happiest guy in the world, it was terrific to be captain of such a tremendous team. I was proud of the terrific team effort, and each guy did his part well.” This tells the story as coach Lundin started with a nucleus of thirteen lettermen, and with .assistant coach Dillon, molded a “machine which came out supreme.” Indicative of the spirit of the team, culminating in hard work and a championship, were the prayer meetings held on Friday mornings and the quiet meditations held before each game. The team as a result of the championship was honored by many banquets and dinners, and a special reception given by President Lundquist. Row 1: J. Oas, R. Massey, D. Johnson, J. McNaughton, N.

In looking at the year in retrospect many of the games were close in which Bethel came out on top. On these occasions Bethel triumphed by giving that little extra ‘push.’ Their 5-3 record shows a winning season for the first time since 1950.

SEASON SUMMARY TEAM EFFORT PAYS OFF Taking a few excerpts from each game of the season we see: the grid-ders opened against Hibbing with a green team in which the coaches were trying to find the right combination; Bethel’s touchdown came on a blocked punt with Hudson ending up on the ball in the end zone. The squad won the second game of the season and first in the BGC 13-7 in which the total offense was 393 yards. In two consecutive home games, Bethel lost, first in a close game to Mason City and then to a powerful North Park Bui coach, what is it? Backfield coach Dillon Hmmmmmmm?

After this the team went on to win four straight by defeating a strong Northland team 20-6 before a Homecoming crowd with Lcs Borms throwing touchdown passes to Gordh and McNaughton. At Milton, Bethel had its greatest offense in totaling 33 points when they rushed for 353 yards and held their opponents to 87 yards.

Enthusiasm Judy Anderson WINTER ATHLETICS EXPANDED PROGRAM Gerald Hcaly, the new head basketball coach at Bethel College, started the 1958-59 season with five returning lettermen. The team missed captain Terry Bottenficld, who was unable to finish the full season due to his heavy schedule. The season record was 15 wins and seven losses. In the conference they finished with a very good record of 10 wins and 1 loss; that loss — being by two points to Milton College, the undefeated conference champs. Truman Turnquist was voted the Most Valuable Player and is also next year’s captain. The girls basketball season had a limited number of games this year. They worked hard for 1 the little time they could find to practice and had many close games, but couldn’t seem to win any. The cheerleaders molded themselves together very well this year. Coming up with new cheers and routines to go with the standbys. They gave players as well as fans the spirit, enthusiasm, and life needed at the sporting events. The intramural program enlarged this year by the Athletic Council, provided an opportunity for every boy and girl on campus to participate. There was much spirit generated in many of the games and interest ran high for the year. 134 Front Row: R: Adclsman, D. Larson, L. Borms, B. Lindaman, C. Lur.d, D. Nelson. Second Row: W. Kindall, T.

With a nucleus of five returning letter-men he was helped considerably by two big men, Keith King and Wayne Kindall in the front line with Russ Adclsman and Dick Larson helping very much in the back court. Coach Hcaly’s comment on the year was “our 1958-59 basketball team was typical of our squads of recent years - an almost entirely new group of players. Considering this and also our lack of a consistent scoring punch, I feel that the season was relatively successful.” Now where did ii go? K. King They gave me wings. K. King and W. Kindall (54).

Their conference record was marred only by a loss to Milton on the Royal’s home court. Lakeland, Northland, and Northwestern also provided the team with some stiff competition. In non-conference games against some good competition, Bethel had a 4-6 record. They lost some close games to good teams like River Falls, LaCrosse, Superior State, and Luther. The Royals had favorable balance in scoring by their three big men: Turnquist, Kindall, and King with averages of 13.0, 11.7, and 9.8 respectively. Keep that away from me. R. Adels- Us!

GIRLS BASKETBALL INTEREST INCREASING The girls basketball team got off to a late start in practicing for this years season, and consequently didn’t have many games. The interest seems to be increasing and there are a few good athletes among the fairer sex. Fellas you should come and enjoy the games. Under the leadership of Mrs. Lundin, the girls worked together well, formulating a few fancy plays. Let’s see some better support for them next, year. Oh—FOUL J. Hegstrom Look at that shot—fellas. Against Swedish Hospital. It certainly is restful to dribble. 140 CHEERLEADERS BRING ENCOURAGEMENT “Hey, hey, take it away” It wasn’t long at our games before the cheerleaders, led by their co-captains Caryl Robbins and Ginny Weisfenning, raised apathetic crowds to this and many other chants. 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. Clad in their blue wool sweaters and skirts (with gold lining), the cheering season was highlighted by the trip to Platteville, Wis. with the football team as they helped cheer the griders to the championship. Here the girls show us just how agile a cheerleader has to be. A. Krausman, D. Hifilcy, C. Hurd, J. Anderson, G. Weisfenning, Bethel’s Finest. 141 Arf!

INTRAMURALS ACTIVITY FOR ALL Intramural athletics have long been accepted as an important part of the total college program. This gives students the opportunity to excel individually in sports like handball, ping-pong, tennis and badminton, and also provides opportunity to participate on a team level in sports like football, volleyball, basketball, and softball. The variety of sports as mentioned above apparently would interest nearly all students (although some still don't have it). Such a comprehensive and interesting program, as the Athletic Council under chairman Don Scnsion, has set up this year, seem to be just the component to combine our academic, religious, and social phases to provide a balanced college life. 142 . Swany, how I . . . R. Palosarri Boy, am I good. D. Hagfcldt Oh my, missed again. There is a similar condition in women’s intramurals, as this year they got off to a late start. The goal of the program is to promote the physical fitness of every student, which needs 100% participation. This means we need you next year. Progress has been encouraging along these lines, and this program is steadily increasing in interest and participation. As of the end of the winter sports season the Counts were leading in team totals, followed by the Dukes, Pages, and Peasants for the boy’s intramural trophy. C. Wcintz, R. Dalton, W. Peterson, R.

Shold SPRING SPORTS STRONG POTENTIAL Baseball: under coach Lundin the baseball team had a mediocre season, winning 6 games and losing 8. Due to the lack of participants the squad never really got going until the final games of the season. Golf: lead by captain Dave Davies the “Linkers” enjoyed a good season winning 5 while losing 2. Shy two men because of minor rule infractions on the athlete’s part the golf team ended up 5th in the Conference meet. Tennis: the tennis team, hampered by Minnesota’s late spring, had a good team with a nucleus of four returning lettermen. In the Conference meet the team had a very respectable showing, placing third with the doubles team of Tagenfeldt and Graham coming in second and Sension winning the consolation singles crown. Track: the track team, under the fine leadership of “Fritz” Fredrickson had a very good year. They were very strong in the dashes and weights, consistently being a challenger; and their potential culminated in the Conference meet where they captured eight firsts out of twelve events. 144 [ First Row: D.

BASEBALL PROSPECTS HOPEFUL Having a losing season, the baseball team came up with many brilliant points. In the overall team batting average they acquired a lusty .306, but the defense just couldn’t keep up. Being elected most valuable player, Les Borms had one of the best batting averages in Bethel’s history (.490), and also acquired a 3-3 pitching record to become the stalwart of the club. Following Borms tiers captains Baurle and Tierney, with Mac-Naughton, CapISon and Albright lending mupn needed power.

Although the team was short on the quantity end, they more than over balanced this lack with good hard work and much desire. This is supported by the team’s overall record. The Conference meet, Bethel “copped” 8 out of a possible 12 first; Jackson in the broadjump, 10 yd. dash, and the high jump; Becker in the shotput, discus, and high jump, Carlson in the 440 yd. run, and the mile relay team.

GREAT VARIETY Spectacular all-school events arc becoming more frequent and more important in campus life as the college grows. Initiated by the Fall “Kick Off’ Banquet these special events challenge the originality and ability of the students, but have been consistently commended by the responsive audiences. Individuality in purpose and result mark these occasions, ranging from Nik Dag, the day of opportunity, to the honoring of our distinguished graduates in the Spring; from the Songs of the South Seas to the glittering coronation of the Sno Daze princess. Ignoring the charge that much of this “socializing is often a not - to - subtle escape mechanism from the pressure of the books, it is asserted that these events are important in the development of the student. The committee work, the nervous phone call ‘across campus’ the careful observation of etiquette and the enjoyment of the big evening all contribute to the personality. 152 Members of the Round Table' listen intently to leader Conrad Wood-all as he relates his latest talc of nighthood at the Fall Banquet. FALL BANQUET FESTIVE KICKOFF The annual semi-formal fall banquet was held this year at the Minneapolis Calhoun Beach Hotel. Initiating a championship football season for the Royals, the occasion was appropriate called the “Kick-off Banquet” and had as the Speaker, Mr. Jerome Thompson, -former All-American from the University of Wisconsin. Fall flowers and candle light provided a festive air to the dinner while Eugene Sprinkcl emceed the program. This combination of food, talk and music successfully launched the social and athletic year at Bethel. M. Anderson. G. Thompson, and J.

Queen Elaine and her court: Lynn Weaver, Lyla Stimpson, Annette Burgess, Marilyn Thorpe. Escorts arc: Carl Linden, Haul Evan, Art Erickson, Jack McNaughton, Don Johnson, who all are on the championship football team. HOMECOMING DECORATED DINOSAUR A diaosaur leaping out of a second story Hagstrom Residence window (behind a huge open book) merited first place among the dorm decorations, closely following the chosen theme, ‘ Pages From The Ages.” After days of suspense, Elaine Johnson was crowned our 1959 Homecoming Queen, beginning three days of activities. A pep rally followed the Coronation and aided the Royals in battering Northland Saturday afternoon, 19-6. That evening the banquet guests were addressed by the Rev. Gil Dodds, a famous symbol of the Christian athlete. Freshman Sweetheart, Linda Wridc of Yucaipa, California, stands poised awaiting the Homecoming queen candidates. I The Bethel fans give a cheer as the team scores another touchdown in their 19-6 victory over Northland at the Homecoming game.

This year Hagstrom dorm won for their huge dinosaur devouring a Northland player. Dclmar Intveld, representative from Hagstrom dorm receives the first prize award for the best dorm decorations from Master of Ceremonies Gene Messenger. Gil Dodds, one time national track champion, was the guest speaker at our Homecoming Banquet. An alumni quartet returning from one of the pages of Bethels’ history, entertained at the Banquet. Mr. Hcaly accomodates Coach Lun-din by lowering the microphone to his speaking level. 157 Nervously awaiting curtain time for the fall musical production “Songs of the South Seas arc S. Johnson, K. Baird, C. Woodall. “SONGS OF THE SOUTH SEAS” HALLOWEEN MUSICAL Lcis, palm trees, and romantic music set the stage for the unusual hal-lowcen production, “Songs of the South Seas.” Familiar songs such as “Some Enchanted Evening,” “I’m going to Wash That Man Right Out of My Hair,” “Younger Than Springtime,” and “Bali Ha’i” considerably changed the Nordic air of the Bethel campus. Lead parts were capably done by Sylvia Jackson, Carol Marker, Ken Baird, and Bill MacKinncy. The exotic setting and delightful music combined to provide a very enjoyable evening. Sylvia Jackson sings about “Happy Talk” to her daughter (Jean Hayne) and a Marine l ieutenant (Ken Baird). The background, painted especially for the Musical by Boh Friederichscn, was a blend of beautiful mountains, sand, and palms. 158 C. Woodall, D. Abrahamson, D. Dirkes, D. Swanson, V. Olson, K.

We see the picture from both sides as Linda Wridc persuades Carl Linden to go with her. Linda pins the corsage to “After you, Carl, the lapel of her lucky man. I’ll hold the door.” NIK. DAG COURAGE NEEDED Nik Dag - “one night of the 365 when the girls can be assured of a date and the fellows can be their own natural selves and not spend a dime” (that is if the girl doesn't forget your gas tank!) This is a date that required much preparation - days of friendly groundwork, hearty courage for that tap on the back, and much brain scratching which resulted in that monstrous corsage. 160 Linda takes Carl to the resturant before the evening program. Carl seems to be thinking that this sort of thing should be continued all year 'round. For some the efforts were well-rewarded. For others — well, they’re still waiting. Strangers stare when noticing the reversed etiquete, but the fellows make sure that their escorts open the doors and help with the coats (perhaps hesitating before allowing the little women to drive). “Moonlight on the Mississippi’’ was the theme of this year’s “ministrel show” Nikolenas Dag. After this hour of Dixie music, and vaudeville humor, the couples hurried to go bowling, on a hayridc or to McDonalds for a refill. This night is hard to forget! Linda and Carl, along with other Bethel couples, look as though they arc enjoying the Nik Dag production of Moonlight on the Mississippi.” 161 The prize for the most original corsage was won by Sophomore Bev Brown. Here Bev is having her date model his corsage. The captain of the Mississippi Showboat, Bruce Lcafblad, leads the entire cast in the grand fir.alc of the evenings’ program. Good old fashioned southern harmony was provided by this ministrel quartet, but it looks as though Bones (Bud Malmsten) is about to be cut off before he gets through. Other members of the quartet are: Phil Anderson, Wayne Nelson, and Ronn Veenker. 162 The ‘Happiness Boys’ entertain with an old southern aire that was something about a Mr. Washington and a Mr. Lee. The ‘Boys’ arc: I. Paterson, C. Woodall, J. Anderson, R. Eliason, R. Ricker. P. Colon. L. Sewell, and R. MacDoncll. Linda sits alone while Carl, who is president of the sponsoring Sophomore class, and Phil Peterson attend to few details after the performance. Is this what they call the perfect ending for a perfect evening? 163 The big event of the Sno Daze weekend was the formal banquet. Pictured is Sondra l.ouisignont at the ticket booth waiting for her first customer. Who should appear on the scene but Steve Peterson. “Money please!’’ The four lovely ladies who were candidates for Sno Princess were: Nancy Mattson. Carol Bailsman. Ellen Polk, and Carol Young. Help Carol up girls, so she can get into that picture too. SNO DAZE AN EVENTFUL WEEKEND Sno Princess, Carol Bausman, and her attendants, Nancy Mattson, Ellen Polk, and Carol Young reigned over the Sno Daze celebration. At the first event of the weekend, Bethel was victorious in basketball. The coronation ceremony took place at half time, and following the game there was a mixer in Edgrcn Residence. The St. Paul Hotel was the scene of a formal banquet held on Friday night. Saturday was filled with sports events at Como and culminated with a Sno Daze variety show in the fieldhouse. 164 ft , The 1959 Sno Princess. Sophomore, Carol Bausman from Soudan, Minnesota.

PLEASANT ATMOSPHERE The Lowell Inn at Stillwater provided a quaint, colonial setting for the Junior-Senior Banquet. Jack Tierney, a senior and last year’s student senate president, served as emcee for the evening. Prime ribs of beef topped the dinner menu. The fine fare and pleasant atmosphere were artistically complimented by the entertainment of the evening, The Robert Anderson String Quartet. This group, from the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, featured a variety of classical, semi-classical, and sacred numbers. 168 Marjorie Lagerwdm harped the international language of the Wide Wide World on her golden strings at the Freshman-Sophomore Banquet. The Souls’ Harbor T.V. ensemble also provided music a: the Freshman-Sophomore Banquet. F-S BANQUET A DELIGHTFUL EVENING The Freshman-Sophomore Banquet was held in the Continental Room of the Hotel Normandy. After a turkey dinner Reverend Peter Unruh of Woodale Baptist Church presided as master of ceremonies. Dick Anthony played and sang his own arrangements with the accompaniment of the Soul’s Harbor TV Ensemble. Marjorie La-gerwelm, an accomplished harpist, was also featured. The special speaker of the evening was George Wilson of Minneapolis Youth for Christ. The evening was brought to a delightful climax with a moonlight cruise on Lake Minnetonka. Seated at the head table at the Freshman-Sophomore Banquet arc such celebrities as: Dwight Jessup. Karin Carlson, Dick Anthony, George Wilson, Mr. ar.d Mrs. Peter Unruh, Thelma Frcderickson, and Bruce Leafblad. 169 Political Emphasis Week was the scene of fervent rallies and political sessions. The shoe scramble started out the year with anticipation of new friends, new learning, and new memories. Jean Haync, Art Erickson, and Jack McNutt study for finals with hope for a grand finale to a satisfying year. 170 Art Erickson yells “grab a partner” to the green freshmen who are pushed and pulled into new friends. Looks like the guys have grabbed the gals - perhaps they aren't so green. FRESHMAN WEEK INTRODUCTION and INITIATION The introduction of freshmen to the Bethel Campus included everything from tests to tug-of-wars. The first three days of Freshman Week included entrance examinations, orientation programs, mixers, song fests, and a box social. The conclusion and highlight of the week was the retreat at Big Trout Lake. The counsellors gave the frosh an introduction to the many aspects of student life on the Bethel campus. The week truly prepared the freshmen for the coming year of anticipated academic and spiritual growth. Ronn Vecnkcr queries, “What'll you give for this lovely lunch box prepared by the hands of some sweet thing.” 171 Fun was shared by all at the mixer held in Edgren Residence during Freshman Week. The first mixer of the year acquainted freshman and upperclassmen. No fair spiking until the ball gets across the net.” That’s one of the rules the girls made at Trout Lake on the Freshmen Retreat. The freshmen guys look like they are taking the camp counselors and upperclassmen in an energetic game of tug o' war. 172 Where else but Kangaroo Court would you try to push a broken egg across the floor with your nose?

Eugene Nida, liguist from the American Bible Society, explains his diagram used in a series of talks given during foreign missions week. Mr. and Mrs. Lacklcr, Lois Nelson, Joe Bermudez, and Esther Robinson, all a part of missions, discuss the exhibition in the student lounge. FOREIGN MISSIONS WEEK CULTURAL PROBLEM Foreign Missions Emphasis Week was intensely practical for students seriously considering full-time Christian service to a foreign people. Dr. Eugene Nida from the translation department of the American Bible Society forcefully pointed out the problems peculiar to transmission of the Gospel in a cross-cultural situation. We were challenged by representatives of our mission fields and by Rev. Wilcox, Foreign Missions Secretary. The Holy Spirit truly used these servants to confront each of us personally with the theme, “Behold, the Open Door.” 174 John Isaacson asks Rev. Turnwall, secretary of Baptist General Conference a question about our home missions. Robert Klingberg, Walter Peterson, and William Turnwall presented a mission challenge to Bethel at Home Missions Week. HOME MISSIONS WEEK PRESENTS OPPORTUNITIES Home Missions Week was held for the first time last January. Sponsored by the religious council, the purpose of this week was to emphasize the opportunities we have of presenting Christ without leaving the North American continent. In chapel services William Turn-wall, secretary of the conference board of home missions, and visiting missionaries told of their work in Mexico, Alaska and the United States. The missionaries were also available for conference with the students. Walter Peterson, welcomes Rev. Turn-wall to Home Missions Week at Bethel. 175 Rev. Ellis E. Eklof Sr., pastor of the Temple Baptist Church of Portland Oregon, began the scries of meetings with his address at the Annual Founder's Week Banquet. President l.undquist congratulates Dr. Bob Munger, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Berkeley, California, for his splendid contribution to the week. FOUNDER’S WEEK AN ANXIOUS WORLD Again this year pastors and alumni from all over the United States and Canada crowded Bethel campus in the middle of February for the Founder’s Week which had as its theme “The Christian in an Anxious World”. Dr. James Forrester, Dr. Robert Boyd Munger, and Dr. Kyle M. Yates were the featured speakers at the daily sessions and evening rallies. In addition, elective lectures were scheduled in the morning, and special interest groups met in the afternoon. 176 Dr. James Forrester, Vice President of Whitworth College, Spokane, Washington, as he gives a message on Psychology and Christianity.

Registrars arc Evan Rogers and Marilyn Swanson. POLITICAL EMPHASIS WEEK LARGEST VOTE “Mighty fine in ’59, better yet in ’60 was the slogan of the Royal Realists as they endeavored again to put through their entire slate of candidates. As the campaign got fully underway it was apparent that another party had failed to organize. The Senate nominating committee set up a slate of candidates who became known as the Independent parly. Primary elections, open forums, posters and rallies were used to rouse interest. More votes were cast in this election than ever in the history of Bethel. On the podium. Ian Patterson introduces and acclaims the Royal Realist candidates: Paul Evan, I.ois Bradshaw, Kathy Wilscy, John Tyberg and Bruce Lcafblad. Independents Bob Ricker, Dick Benert. Jean Haynes, June McGillivray (lone winner) and Ray Duncan face inspection at Political Rally. 178 DEEPER LIFE CHALLENGE ACCEPTED With the sudden illness and restricted travel of Dr. William Fitch, “man’s disappointment became God’s appointment” as the Rev. Gordon Johnson came to the campus from Chicago's Central Baptist Church. Morning chapels and evening vespers encouraged students and faculty to search for the qualities of the deeper life. Testimonies and student prayer meetings attested to the fact that decisions by those who dared to accept the challenge of the new vitality in their spiritual lives, would not easily be forgotten. Delighted by his messages, inquisitors and friends seek out his opinions and ideas. Gordon Johnson inspects Bethel’s apt bookstore in quest of possible additions to his private library. 179 A vacated professors’ office serves as a place for quiet council for visiting speaker and students. FINALS WEEK Come to think of it, this book hasn’t been opened since mid-scmcstcr time. REFUND PLEASE The accomplishments of the week preceding, and that of finals week usually exceed that of the rest of the semester. The books must be re-located and the desk cleared before serious study can take place. The desk lamp burns into the morning, over the confused and drooping head of the student. Fortified with no-doz and aspirin and closing her outline series, Miss Bethel questions the sanity of paying for such an experience. Is it too late for a refund? 180 I’m sorry Euripides, I mean your party does not answer.

Wc hope that at this ‘jovial’ time in every Bethel student’s life — Finals Week — our little contribution may bring some gaety to your over taxed and oppressed minds. On these pages we are assuming that you have found happy remembrances of this year at Bethel. If you have, then we feel that our book has been a success and we want to thank you, the student body, for your interest and cooperation throughout the year. We express our sincere appreciation to the faithful staff of students which had made this publication possible. the editors 206
