V Iplllllij BIIkI PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE Contributions which are made in any given moment are determined by at least two factors: the resources of the past and the hopes and aspirations of the future. This holds true of the program of Cana¬ dian Mennonite Bible College. Again and again the sacrifices of our forefathers, made for the faith which they held so dear, prompted their children in later years to use well what those sacrifices had built up. The resourcefulness, the careful planning and the dedication of our fathers brought to us a wealth of resources for us to use, to share and to build upon. The short history of our college reveals quite clearly how these resources shaped the program not in and of themselves, but in the hands of those with a vision for meeting our task. It is this vision which has set the stage once more for a building program. Part i Hi ' s yearbook will be devoted to a pro¬ jection of that program. 1963 shall be the year when the construction of the re¬ maining wings of the Students ' Residence is undertaken. We look forward to this major under¬ taking with keen anticipation and yet mind¬ ful of the demands which it will place upon each one of us. Difficulties will not pass us by. The project will not just happen. But the horizon is bright. We have re¬ sources adequate for us, for the same Master who guided our fathers has promised to be with us. So, as an Apostle Paul, we too want to press on to attain. May this yearbook be another testimony to our accepting the challenge which has come to us as faithfully as did our pre¬ decessors when they confronted their task. We would have history ' s verdict on our total program — the physical plant, the academic program, the spiritual nurture — be: these built well!

At times school life and its effects on us seem to be so obvious that even modest language flatters. At other times we sense that something much deeper is happening to us than can possibly be ex¬ pressed in words, and in awe of the mystery we are silent again. Let us explain. There is a component of college life which might be considered tool-gathering. Scripture is bared, music is analysed, history is memorized, insight is broadened in social sciences, and language must be mastered. Education courses antici¬ pate applying these truths. This is more or less straightforward though a worthwhile pursuit. Might it be compared to a stream of gathering strength and depth? Though describing C.M.B.C. in these terms is essen¬ tial and true it can easily become repeti¬ tious and shallow. Looking at these aspects only we easily become critical of our experience and wonder whether another path might not have rendered more fruit. But then we realize a greater dimension. Th is is that which constitutes life, spiritually. Bible College has made us different persons. Since we have been here we cannot deny its impact on our lives. Amid the elemen¬ tary items of assignments, schedule, and examinations, something has happened. Now college life becomes a whirlpool which who knows why we entered, what happened, or what the direction is in which we have been thrown from it. Hopeless? Never, unless we attempt to say it in words. VALEDICTORY Has it not been God ' s leading that this institution existed as a rich environment for growth? Thank you to our home churches. Were not our instructors as influence, and examples of judgment and Christian insight over and above a mere body of facts and lectures? Were not former graduates and fellow students a source of life through mutual encouragement and exhortation? Our gratitude goes out to you. Was it not G od ' s leading that we should arrive here, leave, and return repeatedly till the course was completed? Could we have neared this institution without a substantial home training? Many thanks to you, our parents. We realize you are all a part of our lives. Thus it seems that amid the usual en¬ counters of life, when God touches and leads, something marvelous occurs which becomes inexpressible yet very real. Further downstream we as graduates would ask for more whirlpools of growth. We rejoice in gratitude at the persons we have become in Christ, yet this very rela¬ tionship makes us uncomfortable. The fact that we have received abundantly adds much weight and responsibility to decisions which might otherwise have been simple. Therefore as by faith we have thus far trusted in God ' s direction, so also we ask the assistance of His sure hand in the future, looking forward to service in His name and even fuller light as we are drawn closer to Him and His ways. Whatever the venture may be, we are confident that we are not alone and on this premise we desire to live to the praise of His glory. WILLIAM VOTH Mayfair, Sask. ELEANOR LOEWEN Abbotsford, B.C.
