We know of other hills— bright Hermon's slope, and Carmel; Sinai, or hushed Olivet. Bethel has ever been a mountain journey. Did you indwell those hallowed heights? Or did You seek a home in Pilgrim breast? O God of olden Bethel, Lord of today, and of tomorrow’s world. nourish our inner man! Unstop the wellsprings of our strength: not things, but spirit; grace, and truth, and love. Let what is seen express the inner wholeness of the God-claimed soul. Lead us to the height of our tomorrow— to live the costly life of God. F. Wheeler 5 EDITH LARSON - Office Manager A warm smile. A pleasant word. Quiet efficiency. Deep trust in the wisdom of God. A determined spirit. Courage to face the future. To you we dedicate Spire 1962 6 A philosopher has said, “Life can only be understood backwards, but must be lived forwards.” The student at Bethel this year has encountered academic, religious, cultural, social, and athletic life. The following pages will mirror campus life of the past year and help recall individual Reflections of Life at Bethel. In every area of Academic Life, the student encounters new ideas and relationships. Interaction with differing views challenges him to evaluate his own position. His broadened perspective is rewarded with increased understanding of the world. 8 The Religious Life is both interpersonal and intrapersonal. One sees self in the penetrating mirror of Perfection. One seeks truth, an encounter with the Truth. One struggles to relate his Christian faith to his total life experience. 10 The Cultural Life is both interpretive and creative. It is a reflective view of heritage; it is an expression of the contemporary. Cultivated, it enriches life. 12 The student’s Social Life is his associations with others. He discovers unique personalities. He mingles casually; he mixes formally. 14 A 0 A a 3 M I 0 I do not understand; I pause; I examine. Montaigne Whoso neglects learning in his youth, loses the past and is dead for the future. We strive for academic excellence and spiritual maturity through the development and refinement of disciplined minds and dedicated hearts. Let knowledge grow from more to more But more of reverence in us dwell; That mind and soul, according well, May make one music as before. Tennyson mm Dr. Carl H. Lundquist, President 22 DR. CARL. H.

Looking over a new book are Norris Magnuson, assistant librarian, Carol Christensen, circulation, and David Guston, librarian. Library . . . The library is a complement to the students’ classroom experience. It is here that one searches for himself, and supplements the material given to him by his professors. The large reading room and the open stacks provide study space close to the large reserve of research material, which includes over 60,000 books and over 435 periodicals. The library also provides a language laboratory, a music library, and a memorial chapel. . . Departments A deeper awareness of God’s out-of-doors is a constant concern of the biological science department. The general biology course offers the opportunity for students to obtain a general background and to examine for himself the wonders of nature in the laboratory, while the upper division courses concentrate on specialized areas and provide an opportunity for extensive study in such fields as: genetics, ecology, human anatomy, and others. The student comes in contact with the fallacies and misapprehensions commonly current in this field of science and is shown the relationship and values of biological knowledge to Christianity. Dr. Christian was added to the department this year. Biological Sciences . . . Mr. Johnson, Dr. Christian, Mrs. Short, Dr. Sommcrdorf. 32 The goal of the Department of Christianity is for the student to gain a fuller understanding of the Word of God and to develop a sensitive awareness of the implications of the Christian life. Biblical literature, a required lower division course, was expanded this year and gives the student a more comprehensive view of the Bible as a whole. Dr. Walter Wesscl, Associate Professor of Biblical Literature who joined the department this year together with Dr. Mounce teaches this new course. Christianity Dr. Wcsscl. Dr. Finlay, Dr. Smith, Dr. Mour.cc, Dr. Olsen. 33 r I LAMBDA IOTA TAU: Angus Kirk, Rich McNamara, Charles Hutchison, Christian Hainlcn. M:ss Bohlmcycr, adviser. Ellen McNaughton, Lois Wcstcrbcrg, Joy Malm-quist. Communication is a concern of the English department. Concentration is placed on correct use of the English language and the study of those who have excelled in the field of written communication which has aesthetic appeal as well as intellectual value. Miss Betty Tutton and Mr. Edward Avey were added to the department this year. Also new this year is a student literary journal, the COEVAL, which will give the interested student a chance to have his work published. English . . . Mr. Avey, Miss Tutton, Mr. Healy, Miss Bohlrr.eyer, Mr. Weintz. Mr. Berglund, Mr. Erickson, Mr. Nelson, Mr. Whitinger, Mr. Smith, Mrs. Fardig, Mr. Peterson, Mr. Johnson and Miss Sce-camp, not pictured. . . . Fine Arts Providing opportunities for the Bethel student to develop in the areas of culture and aesthetics, the Fine Arts Department offers a chance for participation and appreciation in these areas. New this year is the art studio in the basement of the seminary building. The new quarters for the art department provide the student with a spacious studio and lecture room, plus a hall way serving as a gallery for featured artists and student exhibitions. A matrix course designed to broaden the art student’s background and appreciation and to supply him with raw material for forming his own philosophy of art has also been added to the department. Mr. Enos with the French club officers: David Dirkes, Dorothy Smith, Verdean Olson. F.llcn McNaughton, Hannah Keyser, Sharor. Honeywell. Miss Ryberg with the Spanish club officers: Fred Hill, Janet Adamson, Betty Newbury, Foreign Language and Literature . . . Miss Nelson with the German club officers: Paul Carlson, Mary Young, Jared Dorn, Arnold Doerksen. The Department of Foreign Language and Literature seeks to penetrate borders as it offers courses with grammatical as well as cultural emphasis. The student learns to speak, read, write and understand the particular language he is studying. The language clubs are influential in exposing the student to foreign culture. This year two changes were made in the department. Mr. Enos joined the Bethel faculty as an instructor of French. The language department moved into a nearby house which had been converted into a language laboratory replacing the cramped quarters in the basement of the library. Mr. Francis Wheeler, instructor in Greek, is chairman of the language department. A study of life in the past, the interaction of individuals, the formation of institutions and political concepts, and the implications for the future, leads the student to a better understanding of himself and the civilization around him. It is to this end that the Department of History and Political Science strives. An expansion of the History of Western Civilization course has led to a more interpretive view of history for the student, providing weekly discussion groups for the discussion of the lecture material as well as individual student research. . . History and Political Science Dr. Olaf Olsen, Dr. Roy Dalton, Dr. Walfred Peterson. Dr. Dalphy Fagcrstrom. Mr. Francis Wheeler, not pictured. “Philosophical argument, especially that drawn from the vastness of the universe, in comparison with the apparent insignificance of this globe, has sometimes shaken my reason for the faith which is in me; but my heart has always assured and reassured me that the gospel of Jesus Christ must be Divine Reality. The Sermon on the Mount cannot be a mere human production. This belief enters into the very depth of my conscience. The whole history of man proves it.” Daniel Webster Philosophy . . . Dr. Smith. Dr. Starkey. Correct reasoning and clear thinking are the concern of the Department of Philosophy. It is hoped that through studying philosophical literature the student may understand the questions and answers sought by others and that with this equipment the student can give attention to pertinent questions involving himself and his relationship to the universe, God, and his fellowmen. m 38 . . . Physical Education Mr. Halccn, Miss Starr, Mr. Glader. The Department of Physical Education seeks to promote better health and physical fitness. Through a combined program of leadership and participation, the student can prepare himself for a career in this field or just benefit from his own participation. The women’s program for physical education was stepped up with the addition of a full time instructor, Miss Starr, who also has some of the upper division courses in the department. Also new this year is Eugene Glader in the men’s physical education program. A new swimming class, an auxiliary gym and increased weight-lifting facilities have also been added. 39 Tlie Department of Physical Science and Mathematics seeks to fulfill the increasing need for qualified mathematicians in industry and teachers at the secondary level. Like the biological department, this department is concerned with a greater awareness of the world for the student. The world’s physical elements take on new meaning and purpose as they are viewed as part of the total plan and creation of God and are examined in the laboratory. Physical Science and Mathematics . . . Mr. Glaser, Dr. Dinsmorc, Dr. Starkey, Mr. Carlson. Mr. Bloom, Mr. Fardig, Mr. Sprinkcl, Mr. Enos, Mr. Muck. . . . Psychology and Education The study of human experience by scientific inquiry is the concern of the Department of Psychology and Education. The student gains an insight into his own behavior and is able to transfer what he learns to the understanding of others. Each year many students leave Bethel as Christian teachers fulfilling the great social demand and finding their place in Christian service as a teacher or in some field of applied psychology. Mr. Enos was added to this department this year. 41 The Department of Social Sciences strives to develop in the student an intelligent opinion of himself and his society. Through increased knowledge in this field it is hoped that the student will comprehend the problems and behavior of mankind and be able to equip himself to deal with the problems of life and become a useful citizen. The widened field of social work offers many new careers serving society. At Bethel the student may do his undergraduate work in preparation for some phase of social work. Added this year to expand the department were George Ecklund in economics, and William Foster in Sociology. Social Sciences . . . Dr. Moberg, Mr. Stipe, Mr. Foster, Mr. Ecklund. 42 . . . Speech Effective oral communication is the concern of the Speech Department. The introductory course exposes the student to methodology and types, leading the student into a specific area of concentration. The student also gains the experience of constructive criticism while his classmates give their speeches. The Debate Club is an important part of the Department. This year many individual and school honors have been earned in local and national competition. A speech choir under the direction of Dr. Curtis has been added this year. One credit is earned by participation. The choir docs interpretive readings on many subjects in tones ranging from the humorous to the serious. 43 This should do it! Sharon Dickau It’s editorial policy! Dean Dahlquist “Its most important functions on Bethel’s campus then lie in the areas of stimulation, reflection and interchange of student opinion.” This statement, taken from the first issue of this year’s CLARION, expresses the purpose of Bethel’s bi-monthly newspaper, the CLARION. Under the leadership of Sharon Dickau and Dean Dahlquist, the CLARION encourages student awareness and seeks to eliminate the student’s passive stand by provocative editorials. Did you write this?

Student Senate LARRY PETERSEN Vice President The Student Senate, which is the student authority, aims to uphold Christian principles, to assist the administration and faculty, to co-ordinate and supervise student activities, and to maintain interschool relations. The organization this year includes an activities coordinator whose job it is to integrate the work of the five councils. A revised constitution has been approved for next year. Under this constitution, a student life council will direct the activities of five “standing committees.” The purpose for the re-structuring of this year’s senate is to present students at Bethel with a well-rounded and complete life while on campus. 49 Senate Councils . . . Academic Council Chairman: Marilyn Benson Margo Bennett, Dick Krueger, Annette Larson. Religious Council Chairman: Lee Eliason Paul Johnson. Charles Johnson. Bill Damberg. Ed Anthony, Dr. Finlay, adviser. Laurel Nelson. Cultural Council Chairman: Shirley Stearns Karen Brachlow, Kathy Groth. Mr. Berglund, adviser, Rich Nelson. Social Council Chairman: Carole Lundquist Eunice Peterson, adviser. Laurel Nelson. Denny Johnson. Earle Lemon, Dclrcnc Hanni, Bryce Krohn. Athletic Council Chairman: Dick Larson Jan Peterson. John Peterson, John Davis, Nancy Gustafson, Eddie Carlson, Mr. Gladcr, adviser. This year the Academic and Religious Councils cosponsored a series of lectures and discussions. The Academic Council also sponsors convocations and supper and coffee hour discussions on topics covering many diverse subjects. The Social Council sponsors all-school mixers, dress-up nights, and is solely responsible for the Snow Daze weekend. Opportunities to attend on and off campus concerts are provided by the Cultural Council, which also sponsors the Fine Arts Week. The Athletic Council helps boost school spirit by working with the cheerleaders through pep fests and other activities. They sponsor Co-Rccs and intramurals. We are the people who make Bethel. We come from diverse backgrounds, each giving a little of himself. We will never be the same for we become a part of Bethel and Bethel becomes a vital part of us as we live and learn. 4o«n i . . .

A Commencement Meditation Christ our Lord! Our understanding Begins and ends with You. Morning-fresh we lingered, learning; We questioned, studied, tried; we grew, Led on by love, by zeal driven. The track of knowledge wends unsimply To unlooked for perspectives. We have not walked this way alone; We found our surety in Your delight. Though we’ve caught glimpses of the mysteries Which hover at the fringe of human lore; Though we have seen the frailty of language, And the many-sided modes of man with man; Though we’ve explored the secrets of our being. And discovered our own self-complexity;— Still we cling to You, fresh-wakened To the promise of Your grace,— Your love, alive in us, our final answer. Christ our Lord! Our understanding Begins and ends in love. F. WHEELER The place where men meet to seek the highest is holy ground. Adler . . . Seminary 95 DEAN EDWIN J. OMARK MRS. EBBA HAGSTROM Secretory GORDON G.

Augustine 2 Bethel’s spiritual life is reflected in the many religious activities found on campus. Such weeks of special emphasis as Deeper Life Week and World Missions Week bring spiritual inspiration on a structural level. World Missions Fellowship and the Christian .Service office provide opportunities for exhibiting an active faith. Chapel services and devotional life in the dormitories contribute to the daily spiritual growth of searching individuals. Informal and spontaneous discussions in the coffee shop and other places on campus help students to crystalizc beliefs and convictions. 112 Deeper Life Week Deeper Life Week brought to the campus Dr. Alan Redpath of Chicago’s Moody Memorial Church for a week of devotional services. His chapel addresses concerned “The Making of a Man of God,” while “The Temptations of Jesus” were presented in the vesper services. Wednesday night at the vesper service a panel, which was moderated by President Lundquist, discussed practical suggestions for personal spiritual growth. These suggestions came from the personal experiences of the various participants in the panel. Counseling sessions with Dr. Redpath were available to students during the week. Dr. Rcdpath’s messages stimulated introspection. 113 Chapel Worship The student finds opportunity for personal meditation and corporate worship in daily chapel services. He realizes as he enters into, these experiences that Christianity is a personal relationship with God. He receives stimulations as he weighs the relevancy of Christianity to his total personality in a changing world. Music plays a significant part of chapel worship. Spiritual unity is achieved as students and faculty join in hymns of praise and supplication. “O God our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come.” Speakers, including campus faculty and visiting guests, open various aspects of Christian thought. Yet the students response must be individual, arrived at through introspection. By facing his spiritual conflicts, the Christian matures. 114 Seminary Lectures The Adolph Olson Lecture Series brought Dr. Metzger to the campus. Dr. Albright addressed the Seminarians in a convocation. In October, Dr. Bruce Metzger of Princeton Theological Seminary presented the Adolph Olson lecture series. “The Form of Jesus’ Teachings,” “The Beatitudes,” “The Miracles of Jesus, and “The Lords Prayer were the topics of his addresses. Again this fall it was a privilege to have Dr. William Foxwcll Albright, Professor Emeritus of Semitic Languages at Johns Hopkins University, visit the campus. In a seminary convocation, Professor Albright discussed the influence of recent archeological discoveries on the Graf-Welhausen hypothesis and the demy-thologizing hypothesis of Rudolf Bultmann. 115 Chapel Series A series of morning chapels and evening discussion periods explaining various phases of the Christian experience was co-sponsored by the Religious and Academic Councils. Chapel speakers Dr. Walter Wessel, Dr. Bob Smith, and Dr. Carl Lundquist presented “The Person—Jesus,” “The Christian Ethic,” and “The Nature of the Christian Response.” Evening discussions in which both students and faculty participated were held in Edgren Lounge. The series stimulated thinking along the aspects of the Christian faith. Dr. Lundquist examined the nature of the Christian’s response. Dr. Bob stimulated the audience on the ethics of Christianity. 116 Students and faculty interacted with the ideas presented in the chape! series. A series of the Beatitudes was presented in several chapel sessions by Webster Muck, Dean of Students. The qualities of the Christian life as taught by Christ were examined. The implications of the Sermon on the Mount challenged the individual. “Blessed arc the poor in spirit . . . they that mourn ... the meek . . . they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness ... the merciful . . . the pure in heart . . . the peacemakers . . . they which are persecuted ...” Mr. Muck made Christ’s Sermon relevant again to our lives. Foreign Missions Fellowship’s officers promoted interest in missions on campus. The purpose of World Missions Fellowship is to challenge the campus with the commission of Christ and the need of people for Christ both at home and in foreign countries. This challenge was presented in bi-monthly meetings. Opportunity to support missionaries in prayer was given through five prayer bands: Far East, Africa, South America, India-Europc, and Home Missions. The officers of W.M.F. this year have been: Abainch Workic, president; Charles Hutchison, vice-president; Marie Hokuf and Janice Anderson, secretaries; and Charlotte Wiedemer, treasurer. Mr. Glen Enos, former missionary to the Belgium Congo, has advised the organization. World Missions Fellowship Rev. Wilbur Sorlcy, veteran missionary to Assam, India, speaks of his field’s needs. 118 Similar missions displays helped focus attention on the work in foreign fields. World Missions Week During Missions Week in January, the missionary challenge was brought before Bethel students. Missionaries representing the mission fields of the Baptist General Conference spoke regarding the need of renewed dedication to Christ and His cause. The first four chapel services consisted of panel discussions covering the topics: “The Why of Missions”, “The How of Missions”, “The Who of Missions”, and “What can I do now?” Vesper services gave an opportunity to see and hear reports from the mission fields. A display of missionary curios, slides, and literature was set up in the student lounge. A panel discusses the Who” of Missions. The Founders Week theme this year was “The Christian Dynamic in a Nuclear World,” a consideration of the Church of Christ in a world of political and nuclear crisis. Guest speakers Dr. Vernon Grounds, Dr. Harold Ockenga, Dr. Paul Rees, and Dr. Wilbur Smith joined in presentation with faculty members and students. The leaders of our segment of the Christian Dynamic—ministers, missionaries, laymen—shared in a week of spiritual renewal and enlargement of vision. Far East students joined with missionary Wilbur Sorlcy in presenting Conference foreign fields. General Secretary Lloyd Dahlquist addressed banquet guests on ‘The Dynamic of Godly Lives. 120 Dr. Wilbur Smith of Fuller Theological Seminary led students and guests in the daily chapel hour. Founders Week Dr. Walfred Peterson was among faculty participants in afternoon discussions concerning implications of the nuclear world. Robert Feathcrstonc. Conference Director of Stewardship, presented “The Dynamic of Stewardship.” 121 Christian Service Darrel Johnson confers with Dr. Finlay about a Christian Service assignment. This year the Christian Service activities were placed under the direction of Dr. Paul Finlay, making this phase of Bethel’s ministry more effective. The opportunities for service were primarily Gospel teams which went out into Minnesota and other states to participate in worship with various churches. The programs presented by the teams consisted of special music and devotional messages. 122 Bruce Hanson led the evening worship hour. The team members were guests of the church at a potluck dinner. Bruce Hanson became acquainted with a church layman. 123 All over the campus—in the coffee shop, library, classrooms, dormatories, student lounges—students, faculty, and staff meet every Friday in over 80 small discussion groups during the Chapel hour to consider together portions of the word of God. Through this type of interaction, many have gained a deeper understanding of the Scripture. During the first semester the Person of Jesus Christ was discussed, while second semester brought the study of the two letters to Timothy before the groups. 124 Monday evenings dormitory residents gathered in Bodien and Edgren lounges for short periods of Christian fellowship. Songs, prayer, testimonies, and devotional messages provide not only a break from studies and activities, but more important, a time concerned with meditation on Christ. Dorm Fellowships Personal Devotions Among the most enriching spiritual experiences roomates shared were those they spent together with God. The discussions of problems, convictions, and doctrines led to a deeper relationship to Christ. And then, in united prayer, meditation, and Bible study, God became a more significant force, a motivating dynamic and reality in their individual lives. Truett Lawson. Ken Obcrg, and John Taylor discuss the Scriptures together. Mary Thomas. Nancy Robertson, and Ferra Pedersen discovered a common bond as they met for devotions. 126 Students on each floor of Bodien Residence met for prayer and Bible study. And so I come for dccpcd rest to this still room; For here, the habit of the soul Feels less the outer world’s control, And from the silence, multiplied By these still forms on every side, The world that time and sense have known Falls off and leaves us, God, alone. John Grccnleaf Whittier 3 U J T U Art is nothing more than the shadow of humanity. Henry James Convocations Victor Cohn answered questions concerning “Survival in the Nuclear Age.' Interspersed throughout the school year were a number of cultural programs designed to acquaint the student body with the opinions and talents of prominent local figures as well as those of national significance. Bethel was honored this year to have a great number of distinguished men present on campus: Gerald Goodman, a harpist, presented a recital. Dr. Kenneth Pike associated with the English Department at the University of Michigan and Summer Institute of Linguistics spoke on the topic, “Learning Language by Gesture”. “Survival in the Nuclear Age,” was the theme of a speech presented by Victor Cohn, science editor of the Minneapolis Star and Tribune. The speech department was honored to have Dr. Andrew Weaver. Professor of speech at the University of Wisconsin. Dr. Walter Judd, United States Congressman from Minnesota, spoke on the “Christian Alternative to Communism.” Rabbi W. Gunther Plaut, presently Rabbi of Holy Bloom Temple in Toronto, Canada, spoke on “Ethics in Government.” Educational problems of India were presented by Samuel Math-ai. Secretary of the University Grants Commission, India. Psychology was brought to the fore by Dr. Lars Gran-berg, Department of Psychology, Hope College, and formerly from Fuller Seminary who spoke on the “Christian Insights and Contemporary Psychology.” Understanding through Speech was Dr. Pike discussed some aspects of his lectures with Mr. the topic of Dr. Weaver’s lecture. Wheeler and Mr. Stipe. 130 Concert Series Each year the cultural council presents varied musical programs. The purpose of these is to bring to students a segment of the culture and true artistry in the modern world, hoping to create and polish higher ideals.

Because of the success of these performances, the chorus had the privilege of producing a half hour television program over KTCA. The chorus also delivered a presentation at the historical banquet held during Founders Week. In December, the Royal Players presented the famous Christmas story by Charles Dickens, Scrooge.

The football Royals compiled a respectable four-four record in the second year of rebuilding under coach Owen Halleen. After last year’s dismal two-six slate, Bethel supporters welcomed the new season. Many lettermen returned this fall making the Bethel football situation look brighter than it had for some time. The team’s improvement can be traced both to veteran personnel and new players. This year’s backfield was headed by Jim Nelson, the year’s most valuable player, at fullback. Nelson was the Badger - Gopher Conference runner-up scorer with forty points. He finished fifteenth in NAIA individual rushing with 764 yards, a 95.5 game average. Bob Larson led the quarterback corps which was bolstered by Dave Asher and defensive specialist, Dave Cox. Tuffy Bryant and Steve Sparling, who carried most of the halfback load, were aided by Dan Travaille and Larry Hutchinson. The forward wall was manned by ends Don Peterson and Bob Smith. Specialized ends were Dave Hagfeldt, a fine receiver, and defensive-minded Ron Danielson. Ray Shepherd, team captain, and Chuck Rodgers were the offensive tackles. Jerry Oas played regular defensive tackle, and Gene Selander was fourth man of a strong tackle set. Playing at guards were Phil Evan, Lowell Gause, and Mike Miller. Lee Carlson played center and linebacker. The squad had more depth this year as it numbered about forty-eight. This team depth was an important advantage in both the games and practice sessions as Coach Halleen and his assistants Gene Glader, Philip Carlson and Bill Holzworth worked to mold this and future years’ teams. 176 BETHEL 12 - SIOUX FALLS 6 The Royals gained an important victory in their upset opener of the season against Sioux Falls. Bob Larson, in his first collegiate quarterbacking assignment, tossed a touchdown pass to end Don Peterson for the first score of the year. Bethel’s clincher was set up by fine team playing on a good drive. Jim Nelson, the full-back, hit for five yards through the middle for the score. The season had begun successfully. BETHEL 6 - LAKELAND 31 Lakeland, the defending conference champion, outclassed the Royals thirty-one to six. The fighting Muskics’ Marty Jurgcrson set the keynote by racing eighty-three yards early in the first quarter. Before the dazed Royals could recover, two pass plays and a short run by Lakeland put the game out of reach. Bethel scored in the fourth quarter on a fourteen yard pass from Dave Cox to Bob Smith. BETHEL 0 - NORTHLAND 27 BETHEL 7 - MAYVILLE 21 Bethel met Mayville in their season’s second non-conference contest. It became the North Dakotans third straight victory. Quarterbacks Bob Larson and Dave Asher did some fine passing and running with Larson scoring his team’s only touchdown on a sneak from the one yard line. Northland inflicted Bethel’s third straight defeat at Ashland, Wisconsin, stinging the Royals 27 to 0. Bethel was unable to score in this conference game. Northland scored once in the second and third quarters and twice in the fourth quarter. Northland outgained the Royals 432 to 146 with the conference’s most powerful attack. BETHEL 13 - VALLEY CITY 7 Turning three losses in a row to a three game winning streak, the Royals started with a 13-7 win over Valley City. The game was not extremely well played by either team, but the Bethel men gained the upper hand and earned a welcomed victory. Jim Nelson broke loose for a thirty-six yard touchdown sprint in the first quarter. Dave Asher and Dave Hag-fcldt combined for a thirty-two yard passing strike to give Bethel a winning margin. Late in the game Valley City unleased a spectacular aerial drive, spearheaded by quarterback Larry Schwan and a leaping end named Bill Johnson, giving them their score with less than two minutes left. 178 BETHEL 32 - MILTON 14 The Homecoming weather was beautiful. The excited rooters saw sophomore fullback Jim Nelson’s best offensive game of the season, scoring four of his team’s five touchdowns. The first six points came on a one yard plunge by Nelson. Early in the second quarter the Royals struck again when Dave Asher pinpointed Dave Hagfeldt with a thirty-five yard pass. Nelson’s splendid fifty-three yard screen pass, tossed by Larson, gave Bethel a twenty to seven halftime edge. Nelson scored on two more runs in the fourth period. Milton’s excellent passing quarterback, Jim Siedlinger, and end, Mike Casey, tallied both of Milton’s scores on long passes. BETHEL 20 - NORTHWESTERN 0 In their last home stand, the Bethel grid-ders staged a good performance by playing excellent defense and hard pounding offense. Jim Nelson scored twice after long team drives, first from the 1 yard line in the first quarter and once from the 5, late in the fourth. Freshman sprinter, Dan Travaille, raced 91 yards after receiving the second half kick-off. Bethel’s stone wall defense effectively held Northwestern to 61 yards, 56 passing and 5 rushing. Bethel’s edge in first downs was 16-4. In yardage, the Royals gained one hundred and ninety-three yards, one hundred and fifty-seven traveled on the ground. BETHEL 6 - GENERAL BEADLE 14 The Royals closed their season, bowing to the General Beadle Trojans. With four inches of snow on the field, the weather didn’t condone good football, but Royal halfback Steve Sparling scored from the 2 yard line just before halftime. General Beadle came back in the second half, thwarting Bethel drives with two pass interceptions, turning these Royal mistakes into their two winning touchdowns. 180 ROW 1: Coach Philip Carlson, Ray Neswold, Bob Strohm.

Under the fine direction and leadership of Mr. Gene Glader, Bethel lost only one regular meet, which was to strong Mankato State. The Royals climaxed the year by participating in the NAIA National Cross Country Championship at Omaha, Neb. and finished 11th. Since this year’s team was entirely underclassmen, the prospects should be good for the future. Cross Country is a team effort in which each member is important. Fred Purcell, the outstanding Frosh of a year ago, continued his sparkling performances. finishing first in the majority of meets. Purcell's best individual effort was his first place win in the Northwest Open sponsored by the University of Minnesota. In this individual meet against approximately 100 of the state’s top harriers, Purcell won by 40 yards. Dale Pearson, greatly improved this year, placed 16th. In the Northwest Open, Paul Sloan, who with Purcell participated in the NAIA track finals last spring, was another consistent Bethel runner. The biggest improvement during the year was made by Dale Rogers, who was Bethel’s highest man in the NAIA championship. Howard Dinsmorc and Gordon “Bill” Carlson rounded out the lettermen on the squad. 82 ROW ONH: Bob Hurt, Hob Baffa, John Davis, Coach Webster Muck.

Competing against established wrestling schools, the Royal grapplcrs were unable to always match power with the opponents. Though, in their first meet, the Macalester “B” squad fell to the young Bethel team, 25 - 10. The Royals were not so fortunate in later matches. River Falls’ strong mat team crushed the Royals as did the Macalcstcr “A” squad. Mike Miller, Kirk Woodburn, Brian McIntosh and Paul Anderson showed the greatest improvement during the season.

Captain John Peterson shoots a deadly hook shot. The Bethel basketball squad, coached by Jerry Healy, was not as successful this year as in recent years. Compiling a 7—13 record, the Royal cagcrs played with much determination but were outmanned. The outstanding problem was lack of team height. Two speedy, adept, veteran guards, Lee Bajuniemi and Dave Peterman, and a standout frosh performer, Dan Wcsterlund, made up a good, but short, back court. In the front line, lack of height and experience was prevalent. Captain John Peterson, the steady right forward was unable to compete second semester due to eligibility rules. Sophomores Jan Kolbrek and Phil Bolinder, who played the forward and center positions, showed much improvement during the season. Dick Larson and Denny Wahlstrom filled in at forward. The Royals’ season combined conference and non-conference action. Non-conference play began against La Crosse. Bethel was down 36-30 at the intermission; La Crosse pumped in 42 points the second half to gain a 78-65 victory. Lee Bajuniemi was high man with 17 points. The Royals evened their record by swamping Sioux Falls 78-46 with exceptionally balanced scoring. In the next six games Bethel dropped five and won over Jamestown, 65-63. Basketball One of the losses was a close contest with Mankato State, 60-58. Led by Wcstcrlund with 29 points, Bethel got back into the victory column in its second game with River Falls. Improvement was quite noticeable against River Falls as the Royals gained a 73-55 victory, after having dropped a 79-69 game to River Falls previously. Playing excellent ball, the Royals lost 88-77 to powerful Northland in their next outing. Peterson collected 27 points, Westerlund 25 and Kolbrek 21. Three successive victories were won over Milton 79-59, Northwestern (Wisconsin) 57-36, and Northwestern (Minnesota) 126-101. Competing in his last game against Northwestern (Minnesota), Peterson played brilliantly, scoring 28 points. Wcstcrlund was especially outstanding and tallied 43 points. The three wins were followed by four consecutive defeats to strong opponents — Superior, Lakeland, Northland, and Moorhead. Northwestern (Minnesota) fell the second time to the Royals 70-55 as Kolbrek hit for 22 markers. The season ended on a dismal tone when Bethel lost to both Northwestern (Wisconsin) 75-67, and Milton, 66-63, teams which the Royals had previously beaten. A good team nucleus remains for the coming year, as only John Peterson and Dick Larson have completed their college careers. The referee indicates a jump ball. The fans watch as Dick Larson makes a jump shot. 187 Jumping Lee Bajuniemi (50) gets off a quick shot while Denny Wahlstrom (20) drives for a rebound position. Captain John Peterson shows his agile finger shot. 188 Gene Lindaman, George Munchow, Bob Jacobsen, Coach Gene Glader, Gene Selander, Bruce Erickson, Bill McCarrell. B Team The Bethel “B” squad, which is essentially a freshman team, posted a 5-9 record under the coaching of Gene Glader. The junior Royals played in addition to the freshman squads of Bethel’s varsity opponents, Minnesota Bible College and Minnesota School of Business teams. The squad showed improvement throughout the season especially in the guard positions. Gene Lindaman, Bill McCarrell, and George Munchow were leading scorers.

Stan Nelson, Ron Swanson, Jan Kolbrek, Stan Engstrom. Larry Bradshaw, Coach Jerry Thompson. Track Bethel’s track squad of 1961, under the direction of Jerry Thompson, had an average season. Improving much during the spring, the Royals finished a very high second in the Badger-Gopher Conference meet. Primarily, the team’s chief strength was distance runs. Fred Purcell and Paul Sloan were the consistent one-two punch in the mile and two mile runs. These two Royals competed in the finals at Sioux Falls, South Dakota in the three mile event. Ron Swanson ran hurdles for the Royals and Jan Kolbrek competed in the broad jump, pole vault and 440 yard run. Tom Kusant helped in the hurdles and 880 yard runs. Bob Baffa, sprinter, and Stan Engstrom, field events, rounded off those who gained the majority of Bethel’s points. The Badger Gopher Conference meet saw the Royals edged by Lakeland 47-41 for first place. Purcell set three conference records to highlight the meet. Sloan followed with second places in the mile and two mile runs. Two second place finishers were won by Swanson in the hurdles and the high jump. The Bethel sprint medley and mile relay teams finished first and third. Second places were won by Engstrom in shot put and by Kolbrek who tied the pole vault event. 192 Pitcher John Holmbcrg releases his fast ball. In Coach Owen Halleen’s first baseball coaching assignment, the Royal’s met high powered Hamline; the result was a loss, 11-1. Inexperience in both fielding and hitting and only one proven pitcher were the problem areas. Bethel’s only bright spot of the day was Jack McNaughton’s towering home run. The sea- son started slow as the Royals lost six of their first seven games. The quality of determination finally showed through. The first win was over Martin Luther, 8-7. Tnc victory came after a previous loss and a tic with Luther. John Ilolmbcrg was the winning pitcher; MacNaughton led the attack with three doubles. The next triumph came after setbacks at the hands of River Falls 14-6, and Concordia, 15-8. Bethel won its second contest with Concordia 13-10; the Royals i again had avenged an earlier season loss. Again Mc-Naughton and Holmberg keyed the success. The big first baseman cracked two home runs, a single and 6 RBI’s. Holmberg pitched the victory and scored a home run. Royal catcher, Don McKclvy accounted for three singles. Next a pair of conference foes fell to Bethel, Pills-bury 6-4, and Northland 8-6. Pitcher Bob Clouse won both games. Al Penner, Royal third baseman and shortstop Dave Cox contributed greatly in these efforts. The crucial game that followed saw Milton defeat Bethel 4-3. The Royals played strongly against the team which went on to win the conference championship. Lakeland next jolted the Royals, 12-9, in the third place playoff for conference honors. Clouse and Holmberg each gained a win as the Royals twice romped over Northwestern, Minn. These wins, 11-1 and 15-0, ended the season on a good note, and reflected the remarkable improvements of the Royals. t ROW ONR: Curt Sanborn, Jack McNaughton. Don McKclvey. John Hammer.

The Royals outscored the three second place finishers Lakeland, Milton and Northwestern (Wis.), 24-21 to cinch the championship. In this close battle, Dick Larson and Roger Jackson competed in the singles matches. Lar- son progressed to the semi finals but was eliminated by Jim Bury of Lakeland, the eventual individual champion. Larry Peterson and Jerry Dahlin, the Royals doubles team, won first place in the doubles standings to assure Bethel the title. The conference meet climaxed a fine Bethel season in which the Royals compiled a 7-3 record. ROW ONE: Eddie Carlson, Larry Peterson. Dick Larson. ROW TWO: Gary Scull, Roger Jackson, Jerry Dahlin. Golf Golf proved to be successful at Bethel in 1961 as the Royals captured the Badger-Gopher Conference crown. Don Mattson and Bob Hames were the top medalists with 76’s in the conference while Denny Johnson stroked a 78. Other team members included Dale Malaise and Bob Samuelson. Coached by Jerry Healy, the golfers won conference honors after many days’ practice sessions on the course. Denny Johnson. Bob Hames, Bob Samuelson. Visiting cheerleaders add color to pep fest at Co-Rec. Bethel’s athletic department strives to have as inclusive a program for all students as possible. Co-Rec has filled the need for an informal student activity with athletic emphasis. Volley ball and the trampoline as well as badminton were popular. Held at intervals relative to the athletic and social activities scheduled, Co-Rec provided students with wholesome fun. An interesting sidelight was that free refreshments were provided for the hungry participants. 196 Intramurals Keith Anderson performs on the high bar. The intramural program continued to give Bethel men competition on a non-intercollegiate basis. Touch football, which was added this year, proved successful, but basketball and volleyball still drew the largest participation. Along with the existing team arrangement, the faculty and seminary entered teams, which played round robin schedules. Individual tournaments in ping pong, handball, and tennis were under intramural supervision. Coach Gene Glader and Bob Smith coordinated the activities under the supervision of the Athletic Council. Marilyn Starr, new to the Physical Education Department this fall, initiated a women’s athletic program. In the fall, the girls went on a canoeing weekend up the Rum River near Cambridge, Minnesota. During the winter months, the girls competed in volley ball and other indoor sports. Further development of activities for women is planned for next year. 198 ROW ONE: Tiicva Wolfe, Ruby Buxa, Lorrie Porter. Gladys Holmberg, Bernice Lautt. ROW TWO: Jan leterson Carolyn Erickson, Kathy Johnson, Shirlce Spoolstra, Mary Thomas, Nancy Gustafson, Anita Anderson, Eunice Murra. Basketball Basketball provides an opportunity for physical exercise as well as a chance for girls to compete on an intercollegiate level. This year's season was not as successful as last. The girls had one win and one loss each against Pillsbury and Northwestern. The initiation of a new rule requiring guards to put the ball into action from the end line after an opponent’s score added to the challenge of the game. The stars of the squad were Mary Thomas, Lorrie Porter, Jan Peterson, Nancy Gustafson and Gladys Holmberg. John Holmberg served his second year in the capacity of coaching the squad. John Holmberg was the envied coach of the girls’ squad. 199 ROW ONK: Brice Martinson. Dave Cox. Jerry Oas, Bob Larson. Pete Eklund. Bob Baffa, Dave Asher, Larry Hutchison, Jan Kolbrck.

An initiation for new letter winners was conducted in the fall. During basketball season, the fellows operated a pop and popcorn concession stand. In March the club encouraged campus-wide participation in the Red Cross Bloodmobile. Leadership was provided by Dave Hagfcldt, Curt Hallstrom, Paul Carlson, and Jim Nelson. Mr. Philip Carlson was faculty adviser. n Swanson. Jim Nelson. Dave Asher, and Bob Larson busily sell B” Club concessions. 200 John Davis, Rachel Carlson, Penny Fagerstrom, Pat Anderson, Jeanne Gould, Sue Fischer, Liz Carlson. Cheerleaders . That’s the way to go, fellows! “Go! Fight! Win!” was a typical chant used by Bethel’s cheerleaders to spur the Royals on to victory. Through the efforts of the squad, Bethel’s athletics were well supported by the student body. Pep fests planned by the cheerleaders helped to promote school spirit. Clad in blue and white, the cheerleaders added color to the games. The co-captains for the year were Jeanne Gould and John Davis. “ ... So Bethel fight, fight, fight for victory ...” 201 The man who has both mind and money employs the latter well.
