CUNUUERORS' CLASS POE1Vl Class of '53 RETROSPECTlON S ' It all began three years ago, How time has slipped away, Hard pressed at times, we've loved each year, Each text, and every day, Revivals in our treshman year, To fill our hearts with glee- For souls' who came to Him who died, That we might all be free. We've racked our brain at each exam. We thought our teachers stern, For their insistence we should grasp, What they thought we should learn. The dean, we thought, was mad at us, We didn't know just why, But now we know he is our friend, An all around good guy. We've had our pleasures, sorrows too, A loved one crossed the bay, But only for a little while We'll meet her some glad day. Now it's time that we should part. Going on to the conquest for him, ln our trials and testings here, We have used the shield of faith to win. We have donnecl the helmet of Salvation, And with the Sword of the Spirit aflame. We are launching out to conquer, In Christ's holy and matchless name. For it truly is a battle, To lead others to Eternal life, So we are chosen in our calling As conquerors in Christ.

CUNOUERURS' CLASS HISTORY During the summer months many of us were actively engaged in the Lord's work. A note of sorrow crossed our class as Sister Donna Renfrow, a member of our Fresh- man class, was called home to Glory. Later during the summer we were surprised to receive word from the school of a mid-summer rally for students and friends. The blessing and fellowship was well worth the effort made by all to attend. The year 1952 speeded upon us and we once more found ourselves entering the portals of DBI. The last year of our preparation for the work of the Lord. The re- sponsibility of achieving all we could during the last year impressed us to stoudy and work for proper training greater than in all our three years of schooling. To our sorrow we found two of our class members failing to return. However, two newcomers, Sister Dorothy Cummings and Brother,Haskel Jenkins, were aded to our class roll. The class officers for thc graduating class are: Hobart Wick, President, William Lentsch, Vice Presidentg and Annonda Savage, Secretary and Treasurer. The apex memory of our first semester is found during our Homiletic classes. Most of us as potential ministers found the dean taking us apart as preachers a piece at a time. lt has been prophesied and even proclaimed that we will be put together in time for graduation and for future servants of the Lord. I As Conquerors for Christ the class of '53 will assume its responsibility to claim the world for Christ. Our past year of school has challenged us as we have never been challenged before. All signs point to an immediate return of Jesus. We shall conquer as we pray and as you pray for us.
