HARVESTERS' CLASS HISTORY Lord in the library. She has also worked for the Dean as secretary during her last year of school. Pierce Reed has served as bookroom manager. Pierce ordered supplies and books for the students as they needed them. We as the Senior Class are very proud of these students that have taken care of their work so faithfully. Many high lights. Other highlights during our school activity was the appearance and encourage- ment given to us to believe God for our needs from our Dean's wife Sister G. Ruth Welshons. lt was during a class period that she related to us how the Lord had healed her youngest son, Kevin after drinking kerosene. Although the life had left the child's body, God intervened and he was completely healed. Many times we don't quite understand why this or that should happen, but God has a purpose in every- thing He does as we see when He performed this miracle. A heart-breaking moment came to us and to Brother and Sister DeJaynes when the Lord found it fit to take their little loved one from their home. Their first child was born to them in a sickly condition with an affliction that only God knows all about. After keeping her in their home for almost a year the Lord saw fit to call her home. Still they looked to Him and praised Him for they knew the Lord had a purpose in His mighty works. lt was only a week later that the Lord filled the empty place in their hearts with another little girl who was perfect in health and a very beautiful child. On Christmas day while lying on a hospital bed Sister DeJaynes opened her Bible 'and God gave her the beautiful scripture found in Psalms 30:5 For His anger endureth but a moment, in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. As a result of this scripture they named their girl Linda Joy, the joy being for all that God meant to them and for all of His wonderful gifts. Brother and Sister DeJaynes found that no matter how great the tests and trials may be God will bring us out victoriously if we will only lift up the standards of His precious Word and do as He commands us. For theref may be tears in the night but there will always be joy in the morning. We have now come to the end of our history. Our three years may have at times seemed like we could not pull through but God was bidding us to come and cast our care upon Him. ln leaving we the graduating class of l95l wish to say good-bye to our faculty members, intimate friends and fellow students. lt has been wonderful having fellowship with you these three years and we will be praying for you as we labor in the various fields for the Lord.

HARVESTERS' CLASS HISTORY Class of '51 We the Senior class of 1951 first graduates of Dayton Bible Institute, wish to give you a summary of some of the events that have happened in our three years of schooling. On December 19, 1950 other students wondered why the members of 'our class were so excited. It was on this day that a baby girl, Linda Kay, was born to Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Maglott. Our class was very proud for the fact that Brother and Sister Maglott were the parents of DBI. lt was wonderful news to hear of this event, but our hearts rejoiced more as we saw our Dean dedicate Linda Kay to the Lord. The Maglotts are now the pastors of the Ithaca Open Bible Church of God is blessing the ministry in many ways. - Two of our teachers have returned from our teaching staff to serve as assistant pastors elsewhere. We were sorry to hear of their resignation, but are happy to see them working for the Lord and having His blessing upon their ministry. Another member of our faculty, God saw fit to call home to his rewards. O'n May 28, 1949 our hearts were grieved to hear this, but yet we rejoice for we realize that some day we will be able to have fellowship with him again. The Rev. Willard D. Spencer whom the Lord saw fit to take home had previously taugh Bible Atlas and 'Personal Evange- lism at Dayton Bible Institute.
