Mr. Lewis Barrett Miss Jcanninc Bohlmcycr 3 Through the branches of this snow-laden tree do YOU see the windows of our minds? can YOU see into our windows and is there little LIGHT? Through the windows of our questing, misted minds do YOU sec the newness in our faces? can YOU see, by YOUR LIGHT, the nebulous knowledge of our minds? Through the mist of our new and hazy knowledge do YOU sec the hope of manifestation? can YOU fill our void intellects and make them brilliant with YOUR LIGHT? Now, now arc the questions in our darkness But THY LIGHT sweeps our darkness bright. GOD, our FATHER. THY CANDESCENCE lights our night. New, new is THY SCINTILLATING LIGHT; But give us eyes, O GOD our FATHER, to see THINE ENLIGHTENMENT through our night. And wc will give to THEE our misted knowledge To transform into THY GREAT and MIGHTY WISDOM. 5 6 . “A wise and understanding heart.” To us at Bethel, Mrs. Sjordal is much more than a “laraninnen i Svenska,” or an instructor in physical education. We arc all affected by the many facets of her warm personality. Her concern for those around her and her interest in us pervade the entire campus. We share her with her family — her husband, children, and grandchildren. We all are amazed at the energetic zest for life displayed by her varied interests. Somewhere she finds the time for sports and gardening, for family gatherings, for counseling students, and for serving in her church. For her warm-hearted enthusiasm, her wise discernment, her Christian radiance—wc say “tack sa mycket.” To Mrs. Sjordal, teacher and friend, we dedicate the 1961 SPIRE. In Memory of David L. Stapp, Born December 29, 1940 — Died October 30, 1960. Some may ask, “Who was this Dave Stapp?” To those who could answer this question, it is a meaningless inquiry. Rather, the question for each of us is “What was David Stapp?” Dave was a junior psychology major, a Student Senate member. He was a restless mind, always probing new areas of thought, always seeking new expression for his insights and undemanding. Conequcntly, Dave was a continual stimulus and encouragement for truth, integrity, and diligence. David was a Christian, but not in the traditional and trite manner of common experience. Dave sought daily to identify himself with the person of Jesus, the Christ, in worship and devotion, service and self-denial, patience and humility. Because of what he was, David touched our lives in a way which will not allow us to forget or to neglect his influence. We will be better students-men-disciplcs, not because of who he was, but because of what he was. He showed us Jesus. . 7 8 Academic . . . page 18 9 10 Classes . . . page 48 11 Zl Activities page 92 13 i Sports . . . page 124 15 16 Seminary . . . page 148 17 A cademic 20 ADMINISTRATIVE HEADS PRESIDENT CARL H.

Thelma, who is active in several performing groups on campus, plans to teach music at junior high school level after graduation in June, 1961. Homecoming, with Queen Thelma making her lovely presence felt at the helm of all activities, ran smoothly and well. HOMECOMING ATTENDANTS LINDA WRIDE MARY LOU WICK ROBERTA YAXLEY JOANNE HECKMAN 95 Freshman Sweetheart 1960 BARBARA PEEL Pretty Barbara Peel, chosen by the Freshman Class as their sweetheart reigned with Queen Thelma at Homecoming 1960. Blonde haired, blue eyed Barbara who reigned so beautifully on behalf of her Freshman Class, plans to enter the field of secondary education and is tentatively majoring in English and minoring in speech. All who attended the Homecoming festivities agreed that Barbara Peel enhanced all activities by her poise and quiet charm. The Freshman Sweetheart was attended by Carol Groff of Minneapolis and Betty Ann Guida of Tyler, Minnesota. BETTY ANN GUIDA CAROL GROFF 96 Sno-Princess 1961 JOY H EG.STROM Joy Hegstrom, a beautiful, bouncy Sophomore from Braham, Minnesota, reigned as Sno Princess 1961. Joy, who appears as lovely on the basketball court as she does at the head of a regal court, is an excellent student interested especially in psychology and Physical Education. The success of the Sno-Daze weekend could be partially attributed to the lovely girl who reigned as Princess. The Sno-Daze Princess was attended by Sharon Marsh of Atadena, California, Jean Dahlquist of Rockford, Illinois, and Cookie Markwood of Denver Colorado. COOKIE MARKWOOD 97 FRESHMEN Indications of a different year to come are met with a look of stern approval by Steve Flink who discusses his schedule with advisor, Dalphy Fagerstrom. Acquaintances arc made and good times planned by Don Allison, Gret-chen Sawyer, Ed Anthony, and Doris Shubcrt. 98 WELCOME WEEK . . activities, headed up by John Carlson, vice president of the Student Senate, charged the new Freshmen with renewed good spirit. After the roommates were met, the tests taken, and the fears of a new school resolved, the Freshmen were introduced to the faculty at a reception held in the dining hall. The Freshmen were then sped away to their retreat at Big Trout Lake where they enjoyed numerous activities varying from baseball games to fireside devotions by Dr. Paul Finlay. Then — back to Bethel they came by the busload to settle down to a rigorous year of study and fun. John Carlson ceremoniously caps Roy Comstock while Delaine Anderson looks on. Arising early in the morning, Freshmen arc initiated sleepily with the very proper” capping ceremony. BWA Big and Little Sis’s gathered together at the First Christian Church in Minneapolis, to insure the yearlong friendship of the Freshman girls with the wiser up-perclass girls who assure assistance in anything from dates to calculous, if they know anything about either. Judy Carlson looks expectantly at her partner, Gary McNlakcn as he attempts to pass a match box from his nose to her nose. Sharon Peterson “mumifies” a quisi-cal looking Dick Nelson 100 ‘Slow-pokes” finish up the pillow race. Joyce Wessman as mistress of ceremonies, welcomes the Little Sisters while Sharon Dickau, Mrs. Carl Limdquist, and Miss Effie Nelson look on. The male quartet, including: Bud Malmsten, Dave Nelson, John Boh-len, Vcrn Olson, and pianist Cliff Patterson entertain the big and little sisters. Fern Swope and her “little sis” indulge themselves at the banquet. 101 Cookie Markwood and Liz Stoop phone a telegram to their dates. Phil Peterson and Rich Sam-uelson receive the telegram with smiles of approval. NIK DAG . . was the gay occasion where the girls asked the boys. On the Monday before the weekend of Nik Dag open season was declared and girls wrote telegrams and furiously made last-minute telephone calls to insure dates with the men of their choices. Each girl made a corsage depicting a characteristic of her date’s personality, and an award was given for the most unusual idea. Thelma Frcdcrickson and Joan Hallbladc entertain their dates, Bill Conrad and Don Johnson for dinner. Thelma Frcdcrickson and Bill Conrad pose with the winning corsage. The girls took their dates out for a festive dinner and then later to a delightful program sponsored by the Sophomore Class in the Minneapolis Prudential Building. Later, after an evening of good fun, the girls brought their dates to the dorm and it was -“Thank you and let’s do it again - Soon!” Bev Josephs says a fond goodnight to Bart Aspling. Tuffy Bryant and Karl l emon entertain at the Prudential Building. A look of quiet amusement passes the face of John Hammer as he enjoys the entertainment. 103 104 FACES OF ROYALTY “As You Like It” was the theme of the 1960-61 Homecoming festivities. Its royal grandeur, depicting Shakespearean English pomp and color, appealed to one of the campus’s largest crowds. The title picture to the left depicts the atmosphere which prevailed at the coronation of Queen Thelma Fredrickson, Friday night and continued in “Taming of the Shrew” and Saturday’s activities.

FRESHMAN SWEETHEART COURT: Carol Groff, Sweetheart, Barbara Peel, Betty Ann Quida. 106 A GLANCE AT HOMECOMING As You Like It was the theme of Bethel’s 1960 Homecoming. Students, alumni, parents, and friends were entertained Friday night by the regal 17th century coronation of Thelma Frcdcrickson as Homecoming Queen and Barbara Peel as Freshman Sweetheart. The coronation was followed by the sterling performance of Shakespeare’s laming of the Shrew presented by the Royal Players. A chilly, overcast afternoon was the stage set for the parade of floats leading to the football game at Hamline Stadium where the Bethel Royals barely lost a well fought battle to General Beadle. A beautiful banquet followed the game. Bev Shea, nationally known Gospel singer, was guest soloist accompanied by the talented Tcdd Smith. Dr. Clarence Bass concluded the festivities with a searching message entitled, Much Ado About Nothing. Bcv Shea added his rich baritone to the Home-coming Banquet. 107 THE TAMING OF THE SHREW To carry out the Shakespearean motif the Royal Players presented the seventeenth century comedy, The Taming of The Shrew, to a capacity crowd in the Field House. Bruce Leafblad played the lead role as Petruchio, a successful rancher of Verona, and Sheila Volz raved most convincingly as Katherine, the Shrew. Through the rollicking antics of Shakespeare’s comedians the Bethel audience was treated to an evening of sophisticated entertainment. 108 Hortcnsio looks miserably love-stricken as Bianca appears. jvamcnna peers scornfully at her poorly-clad husband' Kathcrina peers scornfully at melodious wooing. 109 no SNO-DAZE • • • was held on the icy weekend after the students returned from Christmas vacation. Elections for Sno Princess were held on Wednesday, January 4th and on following Friday in the lush Walnut Room of the Nicollet Hotel, lovely Joy Hegstrom was crowned as Bethel’s Sno Princess for 1961. Princess Joy and her court, after reigning over a sumptuous roast beef banquet, were entertained -along with the others in attendance-by the Minneapolis Choralaires who provided fascinating entertainment of highlight tunes from hit Broadway shows. The Saturday events of the Sno-Daze Weekend were enhanced by various winter sports. Traying races, speed skating races, and figure skating competition were held on Saturday. The Sophomore class took pre-eminence in the snow activities by placing first in all competition, including the hockey game. Dave Nelson serenades Princess Joy with the beautiful ballad, WHO WOULDN'T LOVE YOU. Sno-Daze Court included Sharon Marsh, Jean Dahlquist and Cookie Markwood with their escorts. 1 1 1 Bob Manskcy and his choralocrs entertain at the banquet . . . . . . . which definitely calls for a refresher between banquet and program .... . . . not to denote that it is dry! 112 Hockey competition between classes is the most important sports event. SNO-DAZE A week-end filled with winter sports, coupled with an entertaining banquet symbolizes this cool, seasonal event. 113 Snow was never meant to be left inert on the ground, especially now. 114 DEEPER LIFE WEEK A look, a search . . . into the lives of the students and faculty of Bethel College, found hearts filled with self-will and self determination. Sincere students faithfully attended prayer meetings and vesper services held in the Chapel every evening. Messages in the evening Vesper Services were effectively presented by the guest speaker, Rev. Gilbert M. Beenken who spoke on the book of Galations. Throughout the week the words of the messages became important as deep convictions in the lives of people on the Bethel Campus. Powerful preaching was presented to Bethel by Rev. Gilbert M. Beenken, guest speaker. Students and faculty sing together at a convocation during Deeper Life Week. Without spiritual strength received through prayer we arc weak. 115 FOUNDERS WEEK . . . Founders Week, 1961, revealed that Bethel is obviously a part of the Baptist General Conference, and that she is still loved by her alumni and pastors from all over the United States and Canada who met together to refresh their spiritual vitality and strengthen their ministry in a week of meetings led by leaders in every field of theology and Christian education. Gordon Johnson speaks to the banquet audience. The Male Chorus provides some special music. 116 Q. T. Smith, Chris Wcintz, and Ncls Stjcrnstroni concentrate their attention on the speaker. 117 MISSIONS WEEK served to remind the students of the need in the world today for the message of Christ to be furthered. We were taken by way of the missionaries’ messages into the jungles of Brazil and Africa, and through teeming cities in Japan and China to learn some of the problems in the work of Jesus Christ. Ed Erickson speaks on Burden For Missions. Missioneries on furlough. 118 THE FESTIVAL OF CHRISTMAS presented each of Bethel’s three choirs in separate concert, and together as one large choir singing a Bach contata. The Festival Chorus was assisted in the Bach by three professional soloists from the Twin Cities. Juxtaposed with the thcrilling Christmas music was the atmosphere created by the beautiful backdrop designed by Mr. Eugene Johnson of the Art Department and the script of Christmas readings compiled by Miss Jeanine Bohl-mycr of the English Department. 119 Luther A. Wciglc, Dean Emeritus, Yale Divinity School presented the historical significance of the King James Version of the Bible during its 350th year. CONVOCATION The convocation series at Bethel presented seven morning and four evening programs religious, cultural, and scientific significance. Donizetti’s comic opera, “Don Pasquale,” was presented by the Turnau Opera Players. The Cultural Council presented Rachel Koefod, soloist with the Oslo Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra. 120 RELIGIOUS COUNCIL: John Bohlcn, Darrell Johnson, Dick Krueger, Advisor, Mr. Dins-more, Council Chairman, Conrad Lundberg, LcRoyce Holn, Wyman Malmstcn.

Bethel's new coach, Owen Halleen was presented with the formidable task of constructing a team with only five returning lettermen: Don McKclvy, Bill Holzworth, Stu Luckman, Ray Shepherd, and captain, Ken Baird. With the air of many capable lower classmen Halleen was able to form a team of enneouraging proportions. The Homecoming game with General Beadle was the season’s thriller. Bethel held the Trojans with a score of 13-13 at the half. But, the opposition moved on to a 26-25 victory. The fans witnessed plenty of action and a show of drive and determination.

ROYAL FIVE Though starting slow, the Bethel squad soon put together a combination which enabled them to take second place in the Badger-Gopher Conference. Against Northland of Ashland the Royals moved from half-time deadlock to gain a margin in defeating the tall Northland five 60-51. This Bethel vic- tory gave Northland their only conference loss. In a packed fieldhouse during the annual Founder's Week game, the spirited Northwestern squad upset the Royals 83-76. This loss put the Royals out of the running for the conference lead. 1 Lee llajunienii up the middle with John Peterson watching.

Truman is known to Bethel fans for his excellent scoring ability and his good ball handling. He has averaged an astounding 22 points per game, making him the highest scorer in Bethel’s history as well as giving him that position this year in the Badger-Gopher Conference. As a senior, Truman has made his abilities known in other areas of student life during his four years at Bethel. He has held a responsible position on the Student senate as chairman of Athletic Council. The improvement of the intramural program this year was accomplished largely through his untiring effort. Basketball enthusiasts will miss Truman next year, but a good record is expected from returning members of the team. Truman Turnquist midst opposition making a point.

Led by captain Bonnye Blomgren, the cheerleaders sparked each contest with life and enthusiasm. The initiating of a new pep song produced active support from the fans. The cheerleaders in action: Annita Sheplec, Bonnye Blomgren, Jean Gould, Betty Guida, and John Davies. 139 INTRAMURALS Gordon Bear leaps for Che spike. — play a key part in rounding out Bethel’s sports activities. This year intra-murals, including volleyball, basketball, wrestling, ping-pong, paddle-ball, handball, and tennis, provided an opportunity for recreation and development of good sportsmanship. The program, coordinated by John Peterson, pitted each team of the royal court (Jesters, Dukes, Counts, Squires, Barons, Knights, and Pages) against the other. The intramural program witnessed a good turn-out this year and provided students with an opportunity for physical exercise. Intramural all-stars playing faculty during half-time activities. 140 ROYALETTES The Royalettes, coached by John Holmberg and Mrs. Owen Halleen, made a great improvement over last season. Game after game spectators witnessed facile ball handling by the Bethel girls. Carol Peterson and Nancy Gustafson led the scoring. Lorrie Geijer, Joy Heg-strom, and Jan Peterson did excellent defense work. Team spirit was increased with a scries of victories over Pillsbury, Macalestcr, and Northwestern.

The squad is coached by Gerald Healy. Warren Nelson checking his form. 143 TRACK . . . As he began training the squad, Coach Jerry Thompson looked forward to a good track season. Returning lettermen were Ron Swanson and captain Larry Bradshaw. Experienced gained last year gave the squad excellent prospects. Meets were scheduled with other colleges in the Twin Cities. The Carlton-Relays were the high point for the Royal cindermen. Captain Larry Bradshaw showing his team members the starter position.

BASEBALL The ’61 baseball season looked promising with the return of seven lettermen: Don McKelvy, Bob Smith, Harrison Bryant, Don Delich, Jim Conners, Al Pen-ner, and John Holmberg. Freshmen and transfer students filled the remaining positions. The team anticipated a fourteen-game schedule of conference and non-conference matches. 145 ROYAL HARRIERS To help establish and organize cross-country as a Bethel sport, the athletic department awarded letters for the first time this year. Finishing with two wins and three losses, the Royal Harriers proved to be able competitors. Bethel lost to Macalester, St. Olaf, and Luther. The Harriers’ two victories were upsets over Northwestern of Minneapolis. Deserving mention is freshman Fred Purcell, a pacesetter and leader on the course. The Harriers were under the direction of seminarian Dave McDill. HOW I: Tom Guy, Howard Dinsmore, Dennis Johnson, Don Allison.
