Symbol representing youth's maturing insight into the contemporary world. Covenant, that in all. God might be glorified. Preparation for a wise and competent encounter with life. Memory, the lingering flavor of days gone by found in each one who has been here. This book endeavors to recapture part of the Bethel which you have known. 8 [ muui Campus life is a complex of activities, attitudes, and interaction. A spirit of worship and meditation permeates corporate experiences in the chapel and convocation, and encourages a personal dialogue with God. Studying, discussing philosophies, contemplating, defining goals, stimulate scholarship. Yet this life would be incomplete without the more informal friendship among students and staff. The Coffee Shop, after-game mixers, dormitories, provide occasions for mingling in casual conversation. Such campus events as Nik Dag. Homecoming, and Sno-Daze augment the social calendar. 11 Drive my dead thoughts over the universe Like withered leaves to quicken a new birth. Shelley Freshman girls chat casually between Dean's orientation, workshops, and chapel. Welcome Week began: a time of confusion, brick buildings, empty rooms, new faces. In the daytime the faces were smiling and searching. At night there v ere gnawing fears, loneliness, uncertainty. Personalities v ere exaggerated: too loud or too quiet, too serious, too slapstick. Every hour brought a new line for registration, health exams, meals, testing. Five buses, each loaded with sixty strangers, carried class and staff to Big Trout Lake. The days were hectic and exciting. The president and deans were introduced. The welcome staff presented the student's-eye point of view” in buzz sessions. Initiation. Buses returned tired novices to a campus now filled with foreboding upperclassmen. They came back, not as individual faces, but as a class, cohesively unified, obvious in green beanies. Welcome Week closed with the Moods program, an introduction to the collegiate way of life. The Tuesday sun brings out Frosh for vigorous recreation 12 In a somber ceremony, the Retreat staff marks indelible 66’s on each neophyte. ‘lf college life is as rugged as this retreat . . . Autumn at a college is a combination of cozy sweatshirts, brisk breezes, the smell of burning leaves. The slanted sunlight gives a mellow quality to all things. Halloween masquerades, party laughter, the roar of football games harmonize with pensive musings, silent and solitary. Thy winds, thy wide gray skies! Thy mists, that roll and rise! Thy woods, this autumn day. that ache and sag And all but cry with color.” 14 Study. The process of applying the mind in order to acquire knowledge, defines Webster. The treasures of wisdom found in books, stored in the archives of an ancient building are uncovered as an archaeologist excavates a tell. Knowledge is exercised in discussions premised on long-held suppositions or newly developed empirical truths. To study is to find truth, or perhaps only to learn answers for the professor. Each is an individual; his study depends on himself, for it is applying his mind attentively. Tennyson has said, Let knov ledge grow from more to more. Convocations, established that students might interact with the larger scope of the world, have brought to our campus distinguished men from many areas of academic and cultural life. History, publications, world missions, population explosion, international affairs, the Peace Corps, science span areas touched upon throughout the year. Dr. Peter Arnott, professor, playwright, and puppeteer from the University of Iowa, presented Greek drama, “Medea” and “Dr. Faustus,” through the medium of marionettes. Psychiatrist, Dr. F. Wilmer Larson, University of Minnesota, discussed the Christian and maturity. Bringing current politics to the fore, Peter Hayman, Director-General of British Information Service, lectured on the Common Market and answered audience questions. A strong devotional emphasis was given by Dr. A. W. Tozer, editor of the “Alliance Weekly. Bethel students have greatly enlarged their vision through contact with such men. Its function as a liberal arts college is partially fulfilled through convocations. Dr. Arnott deftly manipulates marionettes in “Medea. Eddie Carlson, Barbara Carlson, and Jud Nelson scale background flats. 18 Homecoming 1962 arrived during Indian summer who lent her crisp leaves and autumn colors to the gaiety of the weekend. Alumni, students, professors and parents gathered on the lawn to enjoy the coronation reception. Elizabeth Carlson and Timothy Sward headed the committee which chose Only Yesterday” as the theme and co-ordinated the activities. Barbara Carlson created the backdrop and mobiles in greens and blues; Jud Nelson designed the programs. Decorations under the supervision of Paul Wedeking dominated the campus scene and replaced floats of previous years. Senior's Royal Runyan feeds his ox the Lumberjacks dominates Fieldhouse roof.

Blue Skies and “01 Man River” contrasted with I Got Plenty of Nothing,” and blended with the haunting strains of Exodus and the colorful tones of Hole In My Bucket.” The motif of Only Yesterday continued through the Saturday evening banquet. Rev. H. Kenneth Nelson, pastor of the Dean Street Baptist Church in Brooklyn, presented the dilemma of contemporary man, struggling for permanent values in a fluctuating society. 0 God Our Help in Ages Past was a fitting benediction to the weekend. 22 23 Marilynne Anderson strikes the name of her date from the list of eligible Bethel bachelors.

Disputes on proper classroom techniques create problems for Dean Paul Bierhaus and his newly-hired sociologist Judy Van Wambeke. 25 World Missions Week explored the topic Crucial Issues in World Missions.” Dr. Clyde Taylor, the principal speaker, presented “Modern Methods in World Evangelism, A Continent in Revolution, Africa—Nationalism on the March, Priorities in World Missions.” Panel discussions in the evening further emphasized the morning sessions analyzing the topics; missionaries, professors and mission board members participated. Twenty conference missionaries mingled with students as they lived in the dorms, talked and laughed in the coffee shop, discussed questions and problems in the classroom, and counseled in informal situations. Highlighting the week, these personal contacts made an impression on students. Dr. Clyde Taylor Helen Bergfalk shared missionary experiences during the week. 26 27 See, Winter comes to rule the varied year, Thompson Festival of Christmas climaxes the crescendo of yuletide joy on the campus. The beauteous pageantry of the season is displayed by movement of candles through aisles in the crowded auditorium. The King shall come when morning dawns and light triumphant breaks.” Great music of the ages explored the Mystery of Godliness.” The Advent story was retold in its richness: What child is this? and the glory, the glory of the Lord shall be revealed.” Each person made an inner response to the Christ Child. Dramatic use of voice and gesture interpreted the ageless evil of man and his need for spiritual renaissance: The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof... so is everyone that is born of the Spirit. Lo He comes” expressed the thought of the program’s final section. We greet the mystery of His return with Gloria in excelsis Deo.” 2? The dull brown land marks the end of a brightly-hued autumn and induces an air of melancholy. Then the dry ground quietly receives a blanket of glistening whiteness. Short days are broken by the tranquil loneliness of snowy nights. Winter has arrived. With the new season, snowballs, snowmen, and snow princesses appear. The strange silence of snow gives way to the noisy confusion of basketball and hockey games. 0 Winter, ruler of the inverted year.” 30 Dorm life is always an outstanding aspect of college life. In Bodien and Hagstrom, women share showers, telephones, clothes, popcorn poppers. Fun — spontaneous get-togethers, surprise parties. Tears and laughter — the mercurial emotions of girls mingle in the halls. Parties and prayer meetings are significant occasions. The fellows who live in Edgren, between water fights and all night study sprees, wander in and out of the dorm at will. Hours are spent in bull sessions, discussing such vital topics as religion, sex, evolution. The men find time to be alone, contemplating their purposes for attending college, pondering their philosophies of life. “Walrus' represents the Freshman class's idea of the “Bethel Royal.” Sno-Daze offered a welcome interlude to late-winter dreariness as girls donned their velvets, satins, brocades, faintly reminiscent of Cinderella dressing for the ball. Meanwhile, their dates were giving their shoes a final polish and musing on their choice of flowers: one of the blossoms confined in the crisp dampness of the floral shop. The awaited moment arrived and seventy-two couples were on their way to the ornate elegance of 510 Groveland. Slightly stilted and unreal, they soon discovered that appearances did not change the person inside. The art of etiquette could be very delightful. 34 Princess Judy escorted by Jim Spickelmier, leads banquet guests to the dining room. Theatre in the Round presents an after dinner comedy.

During halftime activities at the game, a noted panel of beard judges—Roy Nehru, Webster K, Ivan Castro, and Jim Cool— held conference in typical summit style, finally selecting Bruce Carmen for the enviable royal kiss. 36 Northland steals game from Royals in frenzied overtime. Frosh president accepts trophies for Sno-Daze competition. 37 President emeritus Wingblade officiates in morning chapel hours. Founders Week explored Contemporary Issues and Christian Values.” The theme analyzed aspects of the dilemma of a Christian man facing the crucial issues of the day. Bible study hours led by professors began the day. Twin City pastors addressed the united worship hour: Rev. Akenson of the First Baptist in Minneapolis, Dr. Floyd Massey of Pilgrim Baptist in St. Paul, Rev. Philip Hinerman of Park Avenue Methodist Church. Eleven seminars led by faculty developed pertinent questions relating to the Christian, his church and his role in society. Choirs, instrumental and vocal ensembles contributed to the expression of worship. The compelling needs of the world and our own country confronted Founders as they attended evening sessions. Dr. Timothy Smith, history professor. at the University of Minnesota, gave a clear picture of physical needs of millions of Americans and proposed remedies the church could effect. Dr. Frank Laubach gave a penetrating address on literacy, its problems and hopes in the world. David Hubbard, president-elect of Fuller Seminary, climaxed the week discussing Christ’s Ministry and Ours.” Mrs. Lundquist presents gifts to Edith Larson honoring her forty years of service. 1 Banqueters sing heartily under direction of Nels Stjernstrom. 39 Members of the Alumni Council greet visiting Founders Week delegates. 40 Spring is a call to action. Connolly 41 piece Library Exhibition by Paul Granlund. Fine Arts Week scanned the cultural achievements of many generations in seven days of engrossing and effective presentations. Developing the theme Christianity and the Arts,” chapel programs varied from vocal and instrumental music to a contemporary one-act play, The Last Word,” and an oral interpretation of literature. Exhibitions of Baroque painting attracted careful perusal as did sculpture based on Biblical motifs and architectural designs of modern church buildings. Convocations included a lecture on the religious significance of the works of Rouault by Dr. Chester Pennington, a vocal concert by soprano Marcella Oja, a performance of two allegorical plays by the Lutheran Drama Association. The week offered rich opportunities for understanding Christian implications and interpretations of the fine arts. Dr. Chester Pennington Contemporary trends in church architecture are displayed in the student center. Oral interpretation of literature combines with colored slides in an effective Fine Arts chapel. To see God, to know the why of existence, to perceive truth, 0 that I knew where I might find Him.” Man alone before God: Communing v ith Him, Seeking His unifying power within his personage, restrained by individual capacity for God-awareness. Men together before God: enriched by religious thought of the ages, striving to understand the light of Christ refracted through the prism of creeds, seeking modes of expression through praise and love. 44 Spring appears suddenly. One evening there is nothing but grayness and wetness and floating mud. Silently the night passes and dawn brings the wonder of trees budding with soft green stuff. Birds return, the fragrance of blossoms drenches the air. Each person responds with his own sort of spring fever. Traveling choirs, athletics, botanical studies help to channel restlessness. A personal renewal is felt in the face of emerging beauty at the time when “all the loveliest things there be come simply.” 46 47 Political Emphasis Week begins as politically-oriented students drape Coffee Shop with red, white, blue bunting. Senate presidential candidates discuss platforms in open debate session. 48 Menu, dinner music, emcee, decoration plans confront chairman Carole Lundquist. All-College Banquet combines spring colors and lightsome moods with the regal atmosphere of the Leamington Hall of States. As the last function involving all of the students and faculty, the banquet climaxes a year of varied significance for each individual. A toast honoring seniors, recognition of honor students and scholarship winners, reflections on the past year, create a thoughtful spirit of retrospection, expectation. A sense of oneness remains the most outstanding feature of this memorable evening. t 49 1 Underclassmen receive honors, scholarships at Spring Honors Convocation. Commencement. Alpha and omega: the end of a segment of life, Bethel • years of study, conversation, search, preparation; prelude to another life a vocation, further study, service. A continuation of the patterns that have developed in our characters through the days of each semester, bent over textbooks, squinting through microscopes, absorbing lectures, analyzing sermons, appreciating new understanding of truth. Like a pebble, tossed, spreading its waves to the far corners of the pool, Bethel’s graduates will bring their knov ledge of humanity to every part of the globe. Something of their personalities and contributions will remain, a part of the continuing spirit of the campus. Dr. Carl F. H. Henry delivers Academic Convocation address. Annette Larson and Paul Johnson are graduated with highest academic honors. 51 Papers, finals. Hunched over a candle with quill in hand, translating musty manuscripts, reading faded papyri. Absorbing the knowledge of the ages in the few hours before exam. It happens again and again followed by vows of self discipline. Great reaches of brilliance, whether an obscure point in history or an analysis of structural linguistics, fill pages and pages. A certain sense of accomplishment at the final testing — a learning experience, agonizing and rewarding. A judgment and an encouragement. l 52 “All religion, all life, all art, all expression come down to this; to the effort of the human soul to break through its barrier of loneliness, of intolerable loneliness, and make some contact with another seeking soul, or with what all souls seek, which is God.” —Marquis 1920 54 ACADEMICS 55 Academics. Freshness of approach and a quest for excellence characterize the faculty, staff, and administration. Under the guidance of these dedicated Christians, each student is challenged to develop a cogent world perspective in keeping with his faith. Many professors are taking graduate work in their fields, while others are working on special research projects and papers. Their achievements and inquiring minds stimulate their students. “Each new grain of truth is packed, like radium, with whole worlds of light.” 57 Carl H. Lundquist President of the College and Seminary President and Mrs. Lundquist President and Mr. Wicklund A sense of quietness permeates his character. His capable leadership guides the Bethel staff, faculty, and student body. As head of the college and seminary, his aim is a high level of scholarship. As a sensitive Christian his hope is that students have a serious dedication to Christ. His graciousness and patience effect harmony between the constituency and Bethel. His reputation extends beyond the conference circle; throughout the country, many are enlightened by his spiritual awareness. The community benefits from his active participation in academic and religious spheres. This is the president of our school representing and leading us through Christ's wisdom. 58 [ Board of Education represents the Baptist General Conference which owns and operates Bethel College and Seminary. Its fifteen members are appointed for staggered terms of five years each. A variety of professions including businessmen, pastors, physicians and educators enable the board to cope with the wide range of problems which face it. Its responsibility concerns the total expansion of Bethel: expansion of present facilities, relocation to a new campus, expansion of the academic program. The board acts on new policy and approves curricular changes upon administration recommendations. Back row: J. Mason, R. Daley. V . Anderson, L. Olson. G. Miller, W. Magnuscn. L. Erikson.

Larson Dean of the College 60 Those who in wisdom direct the lives of students as counselors, disciplinarians, and friends. In their several offices, refurnished this fall, they spend long hours, working out mundane administrative problems. Extensive planning lays the groundwork of the academic program— co-ordinating courses, faculty, and students. With a touch of the common Larson bicycles to school, Sprinkel recalls college pranks, Miss Nelson reveals her dry wit, Muck greets us with his distinctive smile.

Books are the treasured v ealth of the world, the fit inheritance of generations and nations.” Bethel's treasured wealth of sixty thousand tomes spans the broad fields of liberal arts and theology. The library shelves current magazines near lounge chairs for swift reading. International journals give cosmopolitan awareness. Scholarly journals are wells of knowledge for seekers after truth. The Skarstedt collection of rare theological materials, the Archives and historical records of the Baptist General Conference reside in the library. Carrell desks among the stacks cloister students in solitary concentration. The Ralph Larson memorial prayer room offers sanctuary for meditation. Art is nothing more than the shadow of humanity. Henry James 67 Betty Jane Tutton Jeannine Bohlmcyer Healy interprets Shelly at Moods program. English Department through its courses in literature surveys the expression of man, his aspirations, monuments, failures, and emotions. Great literature mirrors man in a quandry of decision, beset by joys and sorrows, inextricably bound to society: Phaedra , Shelley, Matthew Arnold, Portrait of a Lady , Auden, Dostoevsky. Coherence in communicating thoughts in precise, pleasing language, comes through intensive labor in grammar and composition courses: freshman composition, Grimm’s law, dialect geography, syntax, and philology. Mr. Chris Weintz, chairman of the department, this year pursued doctoral studies at the University of Minnesota on sabbatical leave from the college. 68 Foreign Language Department offers instruction in Greek, Spanish, German and French. Widely used for graduate study. “Deutsch becomes alive through folk songs, history, and customs. Spanish missions, pinatas, “Don Quixote , and Aztecs construct a picture of Espanol v ith its conjugations of “amore” and “estar. “Francaise requires a flexible tongue to manipulate the gutteral and nasal sounds of “Donnez-moi vos amour. Pre-theo-logical and other students, for differing reasons, sweat over the alpha’s and beta’s of New Testament Greek. The use of languages in reading, writing, speaking and understanding gives personal satisfaction and partially answers the demand for cultural interchange and human appreciation. Lillian Ryberg James Jordon 69 Microphones, tapes are an essential part of language study. Philosophy Department, primarily concerned with the questions, “What must I think of God, man, the world?” acquaints students with logic, ethics, aesthetics, and the history of man's systematic thinking. In a very real sense the limit of our world is that of our ability to express ourselves intelligently. Existentialism, idealism, naturalism, and Christian theism are prominent twentieth century philosophies wrestled with in light of history. Such activities as a “Bcrkleyan Breakfast with menu in Latin and French brought philosophy to a mundane level for students. Christianity Department explores broad fields of research relevant to biblical studies. Instruction reinforces basic foundations, directs the student to church-related vocations. At Bethel, Christianity is an integral part of each life; conscious strivings in religious experiences give Christ a meaningful place in the far-reaching aspects of studies and thought. A faith that is open to search and question matures and becomes sensitive to responsibilities. The student responds to the implications of the church for himself and society. Dr. Robert Mouncc Dr. Walter Wessel Dr. Paul Finley 71 Eugene Johnson Robert Nelson Art Department exists because of man’s love of aesthetics and need for self-expression. Intensive courses on the philosophy of art encourages insight necessary for understanding man and his art. Lectures by outstanding local artists on their developmental stages, techniques and presuppositions, as well as films about contemporary artists and studies of the creative process, enrich actual laboratory experience. The student is given materials and told to make something; he analyzes his problem and creates. Music Department resounds with record, song, and chord, aims to equip music students with teaching, conducting and performing skills. Each Bethelite confronts a survey course in the history of art and music from primitive times until modern. Recognition of elements of music, characteristics of the periods, acquaintance with instruments and basic knowledge of composers, grants survey completion. Harmonics, theory, form and analysis, counterpoint and choral conducting become focal points for perfection. Robert Berglund Clara Seecamp Oliver Mogck Julius Whitinger Ruth Fardig C. Howard Smith 73 Dale Rott Speech Department, realizing that communication is a key to man's understanding man, requires Bethel graduates to have studied Fundamentals of Speech. Emotive and aesthetic experiences rise from oral interpretation; discipline and convincing argumentation reward debaters. A world-vision of philosophy of language finds practicable use in linguistics and phonetics. Survey of drama, fundamentals in radio and’television, lead to career choices and avocations in the field of communications. Speech instructor Quentin Smith coordinated a series of eighteen programs, Contemporary Issues in the Light of Christian Values, telecast over KTCA this spring. Quentin Smith Nature will bear the closest inspection. Thoreau 75 Philip Carlson Frank Eshelman Mathematics and Physical Science Department teaches the language of the universe. Logarithyms, set theory, rate change, differential equations, are tools used to explore the scientific laws. Physical elements examined in the laboratory build the foundation for research. Advances in technology have transformed use of knowledge, enabling scientists to unravel secrets of the cosmos. Students in this dynamic field enter industrial mathematics, high level research, secondary teaching and programming. 76 Chemistry Department offers the student a comprehensive study of the material composition of the universe. Organic reagents, ions, molar ratios, polymerization, Molisch test term familiar concepts in the laboratory. Problem sessions clarify difficulties in relating knowledge and techniques to historic principles. Upper division courses broaden the student’s understanding by concentrating on such specialized areas as quantitative analysis, organic and physical chemistry . Dr. Howard Dinsmore Robert Glaser 77 Biology Department contributes to the college curriculum with a view toward man's natural environment. Students begin the study of life by focusing on the basic structure of the Creator’s handiwork. They proceed to specialize in botany and zoology. Seniors tackle research projects, interacting in formal seminars. The ecology class observes flora and fauna on Bethel’s new campus property. Future instructors and medical doctors majoring in the biological sciences probe euthanasia, evolution, and chemical synthesis of protoplasm, weighing moral implications. 78 Dr. Paul Christian Shirley Short Russell Johnson Great things are done when men and mountains meet. William Blake History and Political Department, upholding man as the protagonist of life, explores technological, physical, social, and intellectual progress. Observing man's limitations and capacities, his declines and advances, the historian compares achievements of various civilizations. The political scientist examines governmental structures and philosophies. Such men as Toynbee, Churchill, and Commanger interpret the past, finding fascinating and enlightening insights. World events — the Cuban situation, revolts in the Middle East, guerilla warfare in Laos, European Common Market — illustrate basic trends and resultant forces of national policy in international affairs, making the historian’s task vital. Dr. Olaf Olsen Dr. Walfred Petersen James Jordan 80 Social Science Department instills a basis for intelligent appraisal of man in society. The social scientist weighs influential factors in social ills, outlines and studies the problems of divorce, unwed mothers, crime, and then offers solutions. The anthropologist analyzes constructs of cultures and notes the complexity of human institutions. A corresponding interest is that of a missionary’s role in disturbing the equilibrium of a society. Always confronting us is the synthesizing force of our Christian ethic to feed the hungry. befriend the friendless and clothe the naked. Dr. Ivan Fahs Dr. David Moberg Jerry Stromberg 81 Dr. Junet RunbecK Elliott Education and Psychology Department, with added personnel and classrooms, trains teachers for a profession of responsible leadership. Development of the elementary program, begun this fall, was augmented by a Kellogg grant for the purchase of textbooks and a curriculum library. The emphasis upon teaching limited and gifted learners has led into the expanding area of programmed learning and teaching machines. Man’s basic emotional needs and resulting behavior find close scrutiny in abnormal, social, and religious psychology classes. The significantly growing status of Christian psychology encourages students to excel in this field. Eugene Sprinkel 82 Owen Halleen Marilyn Starr Gene Glader Physical Education Department follows the Greek maxim of a healthy body and a sound mind. Academic policy has been adjusted this year, granting one credit per semester to the general phy ed student and offering a woman’s physical education minor. Validating its position in an academic circle, the department requires outside reading and examinations. The program of team sports, soccer, volleyball, basketball, softball alternates with badminton, bowling, tennis, golf, and is well-rounded by weight-lifting, body mechanics, and life-saving classes. Participation in phy ed channels energies and teaches skills. It gives a refreshing break from study or work. 83 EDWIN J. OMARK Dean of the Seminary 84 85 The greatest good of the mind is the knowledge of God. Spinoza Reuben Omark Dr. Clarence Bass Dr. Virgil Olson Ebba Hagstrom, Secretary Dr. Gordon Johnson Clifford Anderson Dr. Ronald Youngblooc C. Howard Smith Dr. Anton Pearson Seminary Dean Omark in his established leadership has shown a vision for theological education in the total work of Christ. He leads an outstanding faculty of scholars exemplifying Christian diciple-ship. Their enthusiasm and discipline influence the seminarians in undertaking comprehensive and strenuous study. “The Man of God communicating the Word of God thematically portrays the Seminary. Decade Ten anticipates actualization of the new campus, accredi-dation, more personnel, and continuing development of the curriculum. I 86 A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.” —Henry Adams 19Q7 88 Organizations provide creative outlets into which the student channels his interests and abilities. He works with others toward mutual goals through the activities of musical groups, student government, publications, speech, drama, Christian service teams. Becoming an integral part of the group, he senses the value of his contribution, now and for the future. The feeling of achievement through performance, production, or behind-the-scenes participation, is within his grasp. Student Senate President represents the student body to our own faculty and administration, to visiting officials, and at intercollegiate conferences. He is responsible to students and the school for an efficient and productive Senate. Alert to problem areas, student opinions, and potential effects of executive action, he guides and coordinates the work of the Senators. His duties require a great capacity to listen patiently, advise tactfully, and plan wisely. Known for his warm smile and contagious laughter, maintaining sympathetic rapport with various groups of students, he has blended scholarship and Christian perspective into a total life expression. His leadership has been characterized by insight, thoughtfulness, and dedication. James Spickelmier StuCent Senate President Jim welcomes new stucents to the campus during a Senate coffee hour. Student Senate, supreme authority of the student body, coordinates the co-curricular program of the school and acts as a sounding board for student discussion and interaction. The executive cabinet directs Senate activity, stimulating thought in new areas, evaluating existing programs and procedures. Working under a revised constitution, the Senate concentrated on increasing procedural efficiency and initiated a series of student-faculty forums on pertinent campus issues.

Convocations have stimulated thought about the relevance of our Old Testament heritage, the opportunity and challenge of the coeval scene. Committee-sponsored projects have underscored the universal implications of our faith: raising funds for literature work in Japan, providing Meals for Millions with the proceeds from an austerity dinner. A Lenten communion service, a series of Bible studies on the Person of Christ, have enriched our corporate worship. Faculty and students interact in post-convocation discussion with Father O'Connell. An interpretation of baroque muse broadens cultural appreciation. Cultural Committee aims to integrate aesthetic and religious values by providing occasion for experience in the line arts. Concert artists, from baroque to modern, have broadened an appreciation of our musical heritage: on the campus, in the community. Shakespearian tragedy, religious drama have focused on thespian performance of high quality. Exhibitions by contemporary artists have dominated the walls of the coffee shop. Conversations have been analytical: each person, a distinct interpretation. the student's Each person, a distinct interpretation. Academic Committee presents a program designed to foster awareness of contemporary social and intellectual issues. Study Week, innovated by the Committee, offered an “extra-curricular activity-less” week before final exams. The framework of democracy functioned during Political Emphasis Week, which culminated in Student Senate elections. Formal or casual analyses of current events from a responsible Christian perspective — discussion groups, forums, coffee hours — have shaped attitudes with which the student will encounter the constant challenges of society.

Front row: Linda Brodd, Jean Dahlquist, Chairman Nancy Robertson, Jean Gould, Judy Lindaman. Social Committee provides a rounded schedule of activities to cultivate social ease and flexibility. Exposure to variety has encouraged personal refinements — whether in the casual atmosphere of a mixer, consuming pop and pretzels to the' sound of strumming guitars, or in the somewhat strained air of a formal five-course dinner. Moods, a program of music and poetry, and Sno-Daze weekend highlighted the year. Athletic Committee coordinates activities related to intercollegiate sports, election of cheerleaders, and recreational events. To insure enthusiastic support, the Committee provided student transportation to Midway Stadium and frequently to out-of-town games. Intramurals and Co-Recs gave fellows and girls an opportunity to practice skills and release pent-up energies.

Dorm Councils are the student governing bodies of the three residences: Bodien, Hagstrom, and Edgren. The women's dorm council divided into two separate units this year. Floor representatives from each dorm meet to decide policy for campusing, study hours, campus dress, as well as to plan mixers and dorm fellowship meetings. The men’s council handles various complaints which may arise; dorm dues cover breakage within the building and pay for a $200 scholarship awarded to the most “all-around'' fellow in the dorm. The men also plan prayer meetings, mixers, and two dorm breakfasts each year. 98 Bethel Women’s Asociation aims to encourage friendship among the women students. Each new freshman or transferring girl is given a “Big Sis” who answers her endless questions, remembers her birthday, provides companionship for lonely moments. A Big and Little Sis Banquet, held in September, results in a mass evacuation of the female population from the campus. In honor of the B.W.A.’s twenty-fifth anniversary, the banquet theme this year was “Treasures in Silver.” Spring activities involve a commencement tea in recognition of the women graduates.

The program, arranged in five sections, began with Psalms: several Baroque works by Schultz, Leisring, Psalm 150” by Romantic composer Lewandowski, and the contemporary opus of Jean Berger, The Eyes of All Wait Upon Thee.” The second group was the choir’s major work, Two Cities,” by Darius Milhaud, a well-known modern French composer. Revelation 17-21 contains the text: Babylon” representing the evil earth, found forceful and dramatic musical expression. The interluding Elegy” witnessed the calmness of the smoldering city. “Jerusalem” city of peace, proclaimed the joyous reign of Christ. Testi- monies of choir members, instrumental and vocal ensembles varied the program. Episodes from the Gospels were included in the fourth section. Advent Motet” by Gustav Schreck told Prophecy of Christ’s first coming. The Elizabethan melody What Child is This?” depicted the Birth. Death of Christ was seen in two aspects, Christ's Mission and Man’s Response, finding revelation in Jesus Our Savior, God’s Son Incarnate, and I Lay My Sins on Jesus.” The Rescurrection exclaiming Christ Rising Again, was arranged by Berglund. Bach’s Come Thou 0 Savior” fulfilled the Gospel message. Lost in the Night,” by F. Melius Christiansen, concluded this division.

Audiences throughout the West and Midwest heard a program in four sections: classical numbers introduced by “All Ye Saints Be Joyful,” followed by works of Schutz, Bach and Handel. A Rachmaninoff solo, “Sea Tale,” played by Dean Dahlquist was accompanied by the entire chorus. The Russian melody, “Cherubic Hymn,” and two contemporary pieces completed the third section of hymns and spirituals.

College Band, under the baton of Julius Whitinger, has grown into a full fifty-member concert organization. The masterpieces of John Philip Sousa, William Byrd, Moussorg-sky, reverberated in the deserted halls of the college building at seven a.m. each Friday. Despite the early rehearsal hours, talented students invested time and effort in this flourishing group. An outstanding number on the program has been Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue with Shirley Root as pianist. Performances which have filled the band calendar include the annual Pop Concert, Founders Week, Spring Concert, and Commencement exercises, as well as spirited playing at football and basketball games.

Thus we find that the affirmative is merely advocating an extension of the status quo. 120 Debate, the exercise of forensic skills, makes one think fast and “on his feet.” It helps develop poise, a persuasive manner, the ability to communicate well, the techniques of doing imaginative research. Teams discussed the proposition “Resolved: that all non-Communist nations of the world establish an economic community.” Such phrases as “The affirmative team bears the burden of proof,” “Increased industrialization will result in a higher standard of living.,” The latest statistics show that.,” were typical debate jargon. Bethel's top team, Sharon Larson and Lindy Nelson, totaled the year with 42 wins and 8 losses. In competition with teams from ten Midwest states, they took honors in most of the twelve tournaments they attended. Intercollegiate contact plays a major role in determining a college’s academic reputation. Bethel’s debaters have displayed an excellence highly respected by their opponents. As my colleague has already indicated, the affirmative is guilty of assertion and oversimplification. Back row: Harry Houk, Coach Quentin Smith, Sharon Larson.

Developing a professional attitude, cultivating leadership are main emphases. Members formulate a philosophy of education through contact with teachers and administrators, assume a sense of dedication to a task requiring more than it compensates. Music Educators National Conference speaks for those teaching music in schools. The student chapter at Bethel includes in its program resource people from the community who share their techniques and experiences. Facing these new ideas counteracts the tendency to be provincial and results in a stabilized philosophy of music.

Lambda lota Tau, national literary honor society, inducts several English majors and minors into its membership yearly.

An authentic French dinner at a local restaurant and a custom-laden Christmas party were two of its ventures. Spanish Club initiated a variety of activities which supplement classroom learning.

Missionaries share experiences during Missions v eek. World Missions Fellowship informs the campus of the world need for Christ. Missionary speakers Vernon Anderson, Wesley Thiessen, and Dale Bjork related field experiences. Panels exchanged ideas on cultivating friendships with international students; seminarians debated mission policy and inherent problems of interdenominational work; another group questioned vocations of missionary women. Claude Stiple, college anthropology instructor presented a series of “cultural barriers and communication of the gospel.’' Prayer bands remembered home fields, South America, Africa, Middle East, and Far East. Students from forty countries gathered for the fall highlight, the International Dinner. 128 Christian Service and Gospel Teams enable Bethel students to find a balance between giving out and taking in. Teams traveled throughout the Midwest area visiting churches, Goodwill Industries, missions and golden age homes. Coordinated as the need for them arose, the teams were under the direction of Wendell Anderson. Instrumental selections, trios, speakers and testimonies composed the usual evening presentation. Team members enjoyed district CYF rallies, for there they had an opportunity for personal contacts with potential Bethelites. Seminarians and sociology majors contributed to the work of Bethel Center, a branch of Bethlehem Baptist Church. Ted Peterson directed student work in this activity which had an extensive craft, athletic, and homemaking program for junior high girls and boys. The work extended to visitation work with the aged.

In mounting excitement, the cheerleaders and band lead the yelling crowd in chants punctuated by endless boxes of popcorn and paper cups of Coke. For player and spectator, athletics hold many rewards: relaxation from the tensions of the day; refreshment for a tired mind: diversion from mental to physical activity; release for pent-up energies; challenge to precision and excellence. “Every man is the builder of a temple, called his body. 135 “Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.” Circles Back row: Coach Paul Evan, Dave Norman, Art Dykstra, Dave Gehrke, Vince Bloom, Duane Gibson, Jim Steinhaus, Charles Taylor.

Football squad became this fall the best team in the pages of Dethel’s athletic history. Under the coaching of Owen Halleen, Phil Carlson, and Dr. Richard Burton, the men on the team won seven of their eight games. They were undefeated on their new home field, Midway Stadium. Returning lettermen, transfer students, and freshmen combined to make this year's gridiron record one that will be hard to beat in years to come at Bethel College. Despite many accidents and injuries, the team proved to its coaches and fans that it truly was a team dedicated to the purpose of winning. 136 Coach Halleen Confidence. Team Spirit. Success. Can a person define or capture true understanding of such terms? Owen Halleen has led Bethel’s football team from the depths of mediocrity to heights unknown by any of Bethel’s previous gridiron men. A season record of seven wins and one defeat speaks highly for the team and coach. The men of the squad attribute the success of this year’s season to the team spirit that was prevalent throughout the season because of the confidence they gained from their coach. Owen Halleen. 137 Scrimages presented the toughest opponents all year. Coach Evan gives pointers. Hours of practice in the warm fall weather and many moments discussing plays by the members of the team paid off in the excellent football they played. Practice shaped the team into a well-balanced fighting unit that made the Bethelites cheer as Nelson and Cox broke away for a long gain or as Gibson hauled in a long pass for a touchdown. Each play, gain or loss, planted a picture in the memories of the spectators and the players. 138 28 Bethel 13 Bethel 19 Bethel 13 Bethel 41 Bethel 13 Bethel 14 Bethel 21 Bethel 13 Sioux Falls 16 Mayville 0 Lakeland 6 Valley City 7 Northland 7 Northwestern (Wis.) 7 Wahpeton 19 Morris Don Land twists for a first down. 139 Quarterback Larson's signal-calling comes to an abrupt end during the Valley City victory.

Intramurals are relaxing but are sometimes a trying means for the men and v omen on Bethel’s campus to relieve the stresses and tensions that grow as they study and work. Intramurals give the average athlete a chance to practice and to develop his favorite sports. Flag-football, basketball, volleyball, and the individual sports draw the majority of the men from their dorm rooms on Wednesdays and Saturdays to play on one of the eight teams. The Bethel women monopolize the fieldhouse on Tuesday nights as they play basketball and volleyball. Ping Pong” proves interesting. 147 Jerry Wahlstrom, Dave Peterman, Denny Wahlstrom, Randy Johnson Phil Bolinder, Roger Olson, Don Moore, George Palke, Gene Selander, Jerry Moulton, Lee Bajuniemi, Coach Jerry Healy. Bethel’s Basketball record this year was far from impressive, but the record doesn’t tell the whole story. Lack of experience and inconsistent performance on the front line plagued the team at the beginning of the year. Despite many discouraging setbacks, team spirit and effort steadily gained momentum as the season progressed and the lineup jelled. Senior guards Lee Bajuniemi and Dave Peterman provided constant excitement for fans v ith their frequent ball-handling and distance shooting displays. Along with Dennis Wahlstrom, they will be greatly missed when Coach Healy calls the first practice next fall. Bethel should be proud of a team that has showed such tenacity and desire in what could have been a long, hard season. 148 Bethel 59 La Crosse 71 Bethel 58 Bemidji 69 Bethel 51 Sioux Falls 61 Bethel 75 Morris 68 Bethel 76 Northwestern, Iowa 90 Bethel 63 Siuox Falls 68 Bethel 55 Superior 78 Bethel 63 Eau Claire 72 Bethel 49 Northwestern, Iowa 56 Bethel 65 Concordia.

Seniors, on the highest plateau of undergraduate study, look back on four years of college—one hundred and twenty-three semester credits, countless books, endless lectures. These days have been enhanced by hours laughing and discussing in the student center, sharing in the growth and development of individual personalities. Transitions have marked the road of the Class of 1963. Chapel services moved from the college auditorium to the fieldhouse. Purchase of language, history, education and music houses increased classroom space. Student government reorganized itself and a second party entered student politics. Professors have gone on sabbatical; new members have joined the staff. Mr. Healy has served as class advisor for four years. When the seniors receive their diplomas, they will lose their undergraduate status. As alumni, their interests in Bethel will continue. As responsive members of society, this class will follow courses of further formal education, specialized training, entry into such fields as teaching and social work, service to humanity through the Peace Corps. The class members have indelibly marked Bethel. Two straight “A students distinguish the class, as do a number of honor scholars. They have defined a philosophy of life while studying in a free atmosphere of Christian higher education. 167 LYLE ANDERSON Major: History Rock Creek, Minn.

Juniors, nearing the apex of college days, reflect on a year of maturing experience. Showing new poise, they have been motivated by their studies to independence and self-discipline. The necessity to decide upon vocations or continued education has made them think seriously at times. They are satisfied, for they are delving deeply into major and minor fields of personal interest. They have exhibited leadership in all areas of co-curricular life: finding places as editors of the yearbook, news- paper, literary journal, or expanding their careers in student government. Juniors are secure. Another year in college awaits them. They display ingenuity and willingness to adapt, for they have time to experiment. They are not plagued with “senior jitters” about marriage or jobs. If they are too cynical, it is because they have not yet faced their nearing independence. The patterns they are establishing for their lives now are changeable, but with the coming years will find definition. ■ 181 MARJORIE ACHTEN................St. Paul, Minn.

Back row: Adviser Roy Dalton, President Robert Beckstrom, Vice president Keith Anderson. Front row: Secretary Sue Griffith, Representative Richard Frederickson. Sophomores, plagued for a year with the appellation “wise fools,” have determined to prove their usefulness and worth to the college society. They are wise: they have come through the freshman testing grounds with new insights. With an uncertain carelessness they tread the academic path. They are still taking courses required for graduation. An insatiable curiosity characterizes the Sophomore's attitude toward life: puzzling over contemporary philosophies, dizzy at the prospect of vocational possibilities, meeting a broad cross-section of students and faculty. As Sophomores, class members have been finding an equilibrium in college life. They have held positions on senate committees, voiced opinions in class meeting, contrbuted to the campus spirit with animation, participated in drama, music, athletics, Christian service teams. They have flaunted their cleverness by executing Nik Dag successfully, constructing Homecoming displays. They anticipate what their Junior year promises. 187 JANET AITON ...........................

I Back row: Representative Linden Nelson, President Philip Larson, Vice President Jim Kercher. Front row: Adviser Marilyn Starr, Secretary Nancy Jo Frederickson. Freshmen, unaware of their greenness, entered Bethel confidently or cautiously with dreams and expectations. A frustrating week of queues, questionnaires, examinations, pep talks culminated in an enjoyable week at Big Trout Lake. Returning to campus, Freshmen faced the problems of class schedules, roommates, electing class officers. They soon learned the techniques of writing papers, taking quizzes, cutting classes. After the first round of exams, they were full-fledged college students. They realized that Bethel means study; some earned semester honors. Upperclassmen enjoyed the class' enthusiasm. Their idealism had not yet v aned in the grind of college life. Restless energies found expression in pranks and stunts. Their vitality made an obvious difference at basketball games. Artistic talents built Northland Cage at Homecoming, snow-sculptured Walrus for Sno-Daze. Strong class alignment characterized the Class of 1966: Wilduit” and Up.” The year’s opportunities of cultivating leadership, making friends will remain valuable as the years pass. In three years as mature campus leaders, they will smile wisely, recalling their Freshmen days. 195 ANNE ABRAHAMSON .... Brockton, Mass.

Seminary Seniors experienced the full spectrum of emotions as they fulfilled their last year of study. Frustrated by the uncertainty of their future, fearful of the unknown, questions continually crossed their minds as they awaited knowledge of their next opportunity: “Did I do the right thing by going to seminary?” “Have I wasted all this time? Yet they faced impending ventures with awed anticipation. Programs of advanced study allowed them much freedom in independent research and evaluation. They became resourceful and self-sufficient, quali- ties necessary in any productive minister. An important part of the year was the trip to Chicago v here they met the officials of the Baptist General Conference, were oriented to its working structure, and saw each other in new perspective. After all the papers, speeches, and examinations v ere past, Commencement Day arrived. Receiving, their academic hoods and Bachelor of Divinity degrees, the graduates emerged to assume positions of spiritual guidance throughout the world. 207 JOHN A. ANDERSON . . . Grantsburg, Wis.

Seminary Middlers composed the largest class in the seminary, for middler” is an inclusive term applicable to anyone unclassifiable as either a first or last year student. In some ways this v as a time of suspension: there were few worries about the future; more schooling was the primary figure in foreseeable time. Need for inner contemplation was more urgent than ever before. They wondered how they could minister to the spiritual needs of others while so aware of their own imperfections. The prayer tower became a significant refuge for study of their tangled thoughts. Practical training included acting as speakers on gospel teams, student pastors, music or youth assistants. Courses in New Testament and systematic theology were augmented by study of pastoral care and pastoral leadership. The seminary book plan provided access to the thoughts of great theologians. Evening classes prepared their wives for the roles of the pastor's wife: hostess, mother, housekeeper. The unity of the class was strengthened by frequent coffee breaks after chapel when casual discussion flowed freely. The Middlers sponsored the seminary banquet, honoring the graduates in the spring. 211 C. BRUCE ANDERSON St. Louis Park, Minn. SYLVAN AURAN ......... Alexandria, Minn.

JUNIORS 214 Christ’s victory is man’s victory concludes Dr. Miller at the seminary lecture series. Back row: Treasurer LeRoi Danielson, Vice President Philip Anderson, Secretary Eugene Tominski. Front row: Adviser Virgil Olson, President Richard Young. Seminary Juniors assembled in September from many parts of the country. They represented different colleges and a great variety of interests and backgrounds. In all their diversity however, they were united in one driving purpose: preparing to communicate Christ to men and women. Some of the men felt that God had specifically directed their vocational choice. Others, uncertain of definite professional goals, had perceived the chaos in men’s hearts and wanted to equip themselves to present the Orderer of the universe. They wrestled with a series of foundational courses: introductions to homiletics and Old Testament, basic patterns of preaching, church history. First sermons were delivered before critic groups of other students and professors. Life was not all work, of course, and they found time to initiate jokes with typical junior exuberance. Unlike college, the class was loosely-knit because many of its members were family-oriented. After initial adjustments to this way of life, they became active in local churches and prepared for the coming years of intensive study. 215 BRUCE JONES.........Meriden, Conn.
