In your school such an organ will give inspiration through the years. Such an organ is the Baldwin, traditional in tone, style and method of playing. Many have chosen Baldwin for that main reason. But other reasons recommend the Baldwin. It is easy to play. It is easy to install. It fits readily into churches, schools and homes of any size or architectural style. % BALDWIN ELECTRONIC ORGAN CASE BROS. PIANO CO. 3713 Main St. Phone 9723 )

STUDENTS BECOME TEACHERS SENIORS FINISH TRAINING SENIOR YEAR introduces a time when many experience a new thing in changing from a pupil to a teacher in the Directed Teaching course. After taking prerequisite classes in lesson plan- ning, educational and child psychology, principles of teaching and classroom management, the prospective teacher, with a head full of aims, approaches and ambitions, enters a class of high school or elementary school pupils. A high school class in Bible is his to teach for a period of seven weeks. In addition to the all-important Bible les- sons, he has the full responsibility for everything in that class— attendance, grading, learning and discipline. Supervisor Sarah Petty, assisted by Miss Edith Sedgley, observes the class frequently. A private consultation be- tween the supervisor and teacher is also held each week. Along with the actual teaching, each teacher spends thirty hours in the schools observing regular teachers in secular subjects and Bible. The actual joy of teaching the Word and seeing His mighty power at work overshadows the difficulties and trials of a practice teacher. The Lord teaches many invaluable lessons through this method, stated one enthusiastic survivor. I love teaching . . . it ' s my life, de- clares Miss Sarah Petty, Senior class ad- visor and director of practice teaching. Since she came from a family back- ground of educators it is not surprising that this one who has such great interest in people, should be in this profession. Her patience and insight, in addition to varied interests ranging from baking to basketball, make Miss Petty well qualified to teach and lead young people. One of her chief joys is Lena, the car with personality. Her friends have learned that to deride Lena is to insult its owner who feels much affection for her unique ' 37 Chevrolet. Lena accom- panied the Seniors on their sneak, chug- ging all the way to Folly Beach and back with no casualties. Miss Petty received her B. A. at As- bury College and later completed work for her M. A. degree at C. B. C. After- wards she taught school in Trinity and Ware Shoals, N. C. With the inaugura- tion of practice teaching in 1945, Miss Petty came to C. B. C. to direct this important course. This year she has also advised the Senior Class which after four years of Biblical training faces the hour of degree dispensing. Alarming is the only word which can accurately describe the rapid- ity with which dormitory life, open houses, spring musicales, basketball games, picnics and parties have gone by. The class day was especially enjoyed by all in spite of the chagrin of Clarence Stroupe and Grace Howell who desper- ately tried to keep the Junior detectives from gaining a knowledge of their destination. Sent off by a welcoming committee most generously furnished by the Junior Class, the Seniors enjoyed a wonderful teaching , says EDUCATOR PETTY day at Folly Beach. Relaxing in the sun and exploring the shore occupied the more retiring individuals. The energetic ones, armed with nets and baskets, went crabbing on the pier in the afternoon. The numerous crabs they caught not only provided a wonderful supper, but also made a nice bed-mate for a certain Junior later that same night. After devotions around a beach camp- fire, President Bill Harding III; Vice- President Clarence Stroupe; Secretary Betty Beauchamp; Treasurer Box Sax- ton, and the rest of the Senior Class re- turned. Their only regret was that this momentous day had come to such a swift close. Leadership in student government and Christian service is the privilege and responsibility of this class. As officers of the Student Association and other stu- dent body organizations, many are given the opportunity to express the results of their training. Student pastorates and directorship in many other phases of Christian testimony afford valuable ex- periences for these who are about to assume roles of spiritual leadership. This year was highlighted by the completion of the Bible College curri- culum with Systematic Theology, Christ in the Old Testament, Problems of Theology, Progress of Doctrine in the New Testament and a majority of elec- tive courses, including Hebrew, filling the schedule. The opinions which have been crystal- lized in these final months of Bible Col- lege experience have been built upon the child-like faith with which these students began their freshman year. Yet child-like faith is not enough. Faith that is based on a personal knowledge of God is the faith of the mature Christian. This knowledge has been gained through a series of circumstances which has forced the students to rely wholly upon God. Senior chapel messages served as an expression of the Senior ' s spiritual vitality, although it was not without its moments of fright and quaking as they prepared to face their classmates and professors. Seniors, you are in the Pursuit of God, but remember, Complacency is a deadly foe of all spiritual growth ... I want deliberately to encourage this might longing after God. Every age has its own characteristics. Right now we are in an age of religious complexity. The simplicity which is in Christ is rarely found among us. In its stead are pro- grams, methods, organizations, and a world of nervous activities which occupy time and attention, but can never satisfy the longing of the heart. When religion has said its last word, there is little that we need other than God Himself. The evil habit of seeking ' God-and ' effectively prevents us from finding God in full revelation. We need not fear that in seeking God only we may narrow our lives or restrict the motions of our expanding hearts. The opposite is true. We can well afford to make God our All, to concen- trate, to sacrifice the many for the One. —A. W. Tozer. 14
