First Year Classes The first-year Bible Institute ard Pre theological classes are Aaking, with one exception, the same subjects, and we have our classes together. Because of this we have combined in the election of officers and the sponsoring of social events. The officers elected are as follows: President, Paul Verslu’s: Vice-President, Elsa Knudsen- Secretary. Evelyn Smith; and Treasurer, Glen Ozinga. The two members chosen for the Student Council were Mrs. Warren Crow and Don Perkins. The social events attendee by the class included a picnic at John Ball Park with the sec- ond year students, the annual reception at the Lake Drive Baptist Church, and a sleigh-ride. At I he reception the timid first-year students were warmly welcomed, and given a preview of things to corne when Bob Nelson and Woody McGaleb taught classes in Greek one Philosophy. The imprev’sec campfire was a very appropriate setting for the inspiring devo- tions message brought by Dc. Fuller. We have as our class motto, “For us to live is Christ,” gnd our class song is, Living for Jesus. We hope and trust that these will continue to be an inspiration to us not only during our school years, but also throughout our entire life cn this earth, — MARY LOU RATHBUN and JOE CRAWFORD • 28 •

A Challenge to Students on Behalf of the Alumni ‘Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things that fhou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, v ho shall be abfe to teach others also.' (fl Timothy 2:1-2.} The apostle Paul was in prison soon to depart and be with Christ. He instructs Timothy how to carry on. Paul was practical. He knew Timothy needed first to look to Christ and not to Paul tor strength. He knew that the work was to be perpetuated, not alone by winning souls, nor by more prayer, nor by revival meetings, but also by faithful men wot! taught. So he tells Timothy to teach faithful men. Graduates end students alike should realize that those who have instructed us and supported cur school are to us what Paul was to Timothy. It is for us to support them with our daily prayers, and in every other possible way, so that they can admonish others to be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus, and commit the Vv'ord ot God to them who shall be able to teach others also. — BUDD BENTLEY
