Stauffer, President Bible The Bible Doctrine course gives the student a knowledge of the fundamentals of Christianity and stresses the certainties of Christian faith. The course in Bible Intro- duction acquaints the student with facts about our Bible, how it has come down through the ages; it takes note of the many evidences that confirm the truth of the Bible. The Church History course traces the rise and progress of the Christian Church throughout this age, noting its failures and successes, its endurance and its persecu- tions, as well as its influence upon paganism and skepticism. Every Christian needs the information which these courses provide in order to live an intelligent, stalwart Christian life; to understand the times and to resist the encroachments of world- influence that tend to draw the Christian away from his faith in Ged. Maurice T. Brackbill Mathematics, Physics, Speech Arts Since we are advised many times in the sacred Word that God created the mate- rial universe and ordained the laws that it obeys, it can hardly be very amiss to bestow some thought on God’s works and ways. Many of the Bible writers did that, and some study of Physical Science enables us to understand better the implications of their many allusions to nature. Indeed, it helps us to comprehend God Himself, and calls from us added praise of His power and glory. Dorothy C. Kemrer Greek, Latin, Typing Did you ever know that “Gospel” (euaggelion) means “good news”? “Comforter” (parakletos) means “one called to one’s side to help; a helper.” An “apostle” (apostolos) is “one sent with a mission.” A hypocrite (hupocrites) was originally a “stage-player.” To “repent” (metanoeo) is to “change one’s mind.” Does “forgiveness” mean any more to you when you know that the word aphiemi which means “to forgive” also means “‘to let go”? To be a “witness” means something more than the word ordinarily implies when we note that the Greek word martureo, translated “witness,” is the word from which we have our English word “martyr.” These are only a few of the many evidences of the light thrown on the Scriptures by an acquaintance with the original Greek. Chester K. Lehman, Dean and Registrar Bible Seniors enjoy putting the Faculty on the spot. Now they are asking, “How do your courses contribute to Christian living and to the welfare of the Church?” I shall answer in five words: defence, confirmation, interpretation, doctrine, and Christian living. Against attacks from every side Christianity is defended and the faith of the student is confirmed. Divine words require exact interpretation. Since the meaning given to Scripture may determine eternal destinies, this task becomes a science and an art of the first magnitude. The positive teaching of the Word constitutes doctrine, belief of which is binding upon the Christian. Finally, true doctrine lays the founda- tion for true Christian living and should lead to it. Daniel Lehman, Secretary Education, Physical Education 7 Dear Class of Nineteen Thirty-Eight, With toil and task begun, Get set for joys and cares and tests, Till toils and tests are done. And when you meet that last “Exam.,” No more thru life to roam, May “Passed” be heard, “Well done, Come in, Enjoy the Heav’nly Home.” Page Six D. Ralph Hostetter Biology, Physical Science Can you see God as the Designer and Creator of Nature? Are, you able to in- terpret His message in the wild flowers, trees, insects, birds, and rocks? Do you know yourself? The psalmist said, “I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” Are you a stu- dent of nature? God asked Job “Hast thou entered into the treasure of the snow?” Jesus placed the glory of Solomon below the beauty of a lily. Why? Paul says, “Doth not even nature itself teach you?” To this question we would answer “Yes.” Many lessons may be learned by closely observing the various phases of plant, animal, and human life. Jesus was a keen observer of nature, and used many nature truths in His teaching. Should you do otherwise? Ernest G. Gehman German, Philosophy, English English composition is our first-year-college soiled-English laundry-course, per- force. Beyond this, it seeks to prepare young people for the faithful and able defense and promotion of New-Testament standards now held almost exclusively (and too exclusively) by the Mennonite Church. In Oral Expression the instructor got a yearful of good speeches, readings, ora- tions, etc. and learned so much from the thirty-some eager, hard-working students that he believes he might become a public speaker himself if he could take the course a second year. Of particular interest and value to Mennonites is German, in which most of us find ourselves more at home than in other foreign languages, for obvious reasons. Knowing German makes much of our earlier Church-literature available in the orig- inal. Finally, we like it for reasons of sentiment. Harry A. Brunk History and Social Science People are inclined to give all their attention to the present. The present way of living is absolutely the only way to live. Through a study of history we may find it necessary to throw our exalted nation of the present to the “moles and bats.” We may discover that our way of life is not the only way to live; that people of past ages were just as civilized and possibly more so than we are today. Men wax eloquent to accomplish lasting social reform. History would teach us that there is little progress (if any) apart from Christianity. Our modern problems, religious and otherwise, are considered new and vital. A study of history may reveal that similar problems existed before. A knowledge of history may help us to solve life’s most difficult problems. Sadie Hartzler English, Librarian To teach high-school students to have regard for our mother tongue, to use it effectively, and to pass it on unmarred should be the aim of every English teacher. The Christian teacher adds to these the desire that her students use the language effectively in Christian service. As she had visions of the fu ture usefulness of the boys and girls she meets in class, she knows their chief power will be given by the Spirit; but she believes too that the training they get will enable them to be better servants. If something is worth saying or writing, it is worth putting into language that is correct according to present usage. If a conviction is worth voicing, it is worthwhile making forceful by using well-chosen words and carefully constructed sentences. John R. Mumaw English, Bible I want to help my students learn to know God better and to live in daily fellow- ship with Him. I must do all I can to fortify their belief in the Bible as the revealed Word of God. It shall be my chief concern to have each one understand Jesus Christ and to accept Him as Saviour and Lord. I desire to see their lives enriched with ex- perience in the spiritual joys of the Christ-life. What I teach shall help them to become more conscious of their obligations to God and of the nobler ideals of stewardship. It is my hope to make a contribution to their understanding of the Church and its functtons so that they will actively participate in its worship, fellowship, and work. | | Page Seven James Gross Agriculture, Commercial Arithmetic, Bookkeeping I cannot think of an occupation that offers better opportunities for living the Christian life than that of farming. On the farm one can live in daily and almost hourly contact with nature and is thus repeatedly reminded of God and His goodness to man. In Agriculture we consider helps and hints that will contribute to the success of the farmer, who has the great responsibility of working with God to produce the bulk of the world’s food supply. In the last two subjects named we try to keep in mind the relation of the Chris- tian to the business world, and consider how he can offer his testimony in his business contacts, and how he can and should support the Christian ideals and principles, in all his business relations. By understanding bookkeeping, any one, no matter what his business, is enabled to keep more efficient records of all business transactions, which cannot help but lend an aid to success. Especially do we try to consider the principles of integrity, fair play, the golden rule, and promptness in meeting one’s obligations, and thus have an unhindered testimony to all those contacted. Ruth Stoltzfus Home Economics, Art, Physical Education Art in Christian education? ——: ... because God made beauty; it is an expression of His thought, ... because God made man an intelligent creature of sensitive response, capable of understanding and of following after beauty, .. because the church long has emphasized ethics but has minimized aesthetics, .. because true beauty gives in visible form the principles of that which is good, ... because its principles are those of true life itself, . . because art provides an outlet for man’s creative urge, .. because it helps man to understand the spirit and quality of his material environment and their relationship to life itself, .. because a study of beauty leads to a life of thoughtful, cultured refine- ment, .. because God’s work of order and beauty is an example after which man should thoughtfully follow, .. . because its returns are rich spiritually, Therefore, art in Christian education. “One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; . . . to behold the beauty of the Lord...” Menno J. Brunk New Testament Greek, Bible The Divine Revelator said, “Blessed is he that readeth and they that hear the words of this: prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein” (Rev. 1:3). While this statement has reference to the book of Revelation, the principle has applica- tion to every portion of Scripture. In order to receive the promised blessing we must read, hear, and keep, and these involve an understanding of Scripture. In order to understand we must diligently study the Word. The Christian worker deals with souls who have an eternal destiny. There is therefore a tremendous responsibility resting upon each one of us and calling for our best efforts to handle aright the Word of Truth. A study of the Scriptures both directly and indirectly is necessary that we may be workmen who need not to be ashamed. Elsie Martin Supervisor in Training School People encountering various situations behave in a variety of ways. They may be prejudiced or open-minded, reach hasty conclusions based on unsound data, or evi- dence a scientific attitude, compete with each other for individual advantage or work co-operatively. As student teachers we try to aid the growth of boys and girls in the right direc- tion. Our concepts of living are interpreted as we contact and make family histories, Page Eight health records, psychological analyses and mental researches. As we attempt to per- petuate, improve, and realize right habits, skills and attitudes in children at school We are joining hands with the home and the Church in giving stability, poise, and release of latent spiritual power to personalities. By this common understanding and these united efforts, we would hope to be better able to help boys and girls “hold the beginning of their confidence stedfast unto the end.” Homer Mumaw : Mathematics Why study mathematics? This question is often asked by students who are planning an educational program above the grades. We are surrounded by material things, in fact, we are in a material world and scarcely do we think of these surroundings without in some way evaluating them numerically. We analyze them as to value, or quantity, or magnitude, and in each case apply mathematics. We even think of such intangible things as time, space, and energy in terms of mathematical units of measure. Our Master has described our position here as “in the world but not of the world.” Inasmuch therefore as we are in the world, and that for a purpose, it is neces- sary that we do not neglect such an important phase of mental training as the study of mathematics, Melvin Ruth Bible “To know the will of God is the greatest knowledge, | To suffer the will of God is the greatest heroism, To do the will of God is the greatest achievement.” I like to ponder the beautiful and perfect life of my Lord. What a life the unhin- | dered will of God produced! Every follower of the lowly Nazarene honors that dem- | onstration of success. Consequently, despite the vehement objections of our adversary, it is no risk to surrender our will. Frankly, to see the will of God blossoming and bearing fruit in a young life is ! the most sacred thrill my regenerated heart can experience. Mrs. M. T. Brackbill English . thy mind Shall be a mansion for all lovely forms, | Thy memory be as a dwelling place ia For all sweet sounds and harmonies.” | — Wordsworth A study of literature introduces us to the beautiful thinking of the past and pres- | ent, and thus furnishes us enrichment for our own thinking. It is therefore worth while for its own sake. Moreover, a study of it acquaints us with the various types of literature and figures of speech; and since many of these forms occur in the Bible, a knowledge of them gives us an appreciation of the Bible as literature. “How sweet are thy words unto my taste! Yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Through thy precepts I get understanding.” —Psalmist Mary Keener Dean of Women | I love people. God made them in His own image. He made it possible for them to grow like Christ. They unitedly reflect so much of God Himself. I see the love of | Christ constraining them to action. I see them giving their lives for others in true service to Him. I see noble lives living and serving in the power of God, clothed with the humility of our Lord. Their lives reflect His beauty, purity, patience and holiness. I see those who have great faith and vision walk and live calmly even in the presence of trial. They move on confidently because they are walking with the Unseen Friend and because they have a hope which anchors the soul. I love people because as I learn to know those who are His own, I know Him better. Page Nine The President’s Message to the Graduating Class The class of 1938 is to be- congratulated for having reached its goal. This was accomplished through continuous effort and application. Some of you haye spent a number of years in this Institution while others have only been with us for this one year. You have the distinction of being the largest class to graduate in the history of the School. Perhaps the most of you will leave this Institution never to return as students. You will enter the various walks of life; some will take up the teaching profession; others may respond to the call of the mission field. A number will return for further study. Regardless of your course in life be a student wherever you may be. Whatever the Lord may have for you to do, be sure you do His will. Carry with you constantly the conviction that to be in the will of the Lord is the highest attainment in life. It will bring to you peace, contentment, and the greatest and most abiding happiness in service. Determine by the grace of God to be a living witness for the Christ who suffered and died on Calvary and rose triumphant from the tomb and who now lives at the right hand of God the Father. Loyalty to God and truth in the midst of conflict will be justly remembered and rewarded by our Saviour-Judge when He shall appear to claim His own who have owned Him in the midst of the generations in which they lived. Should the Lord tarry, may it be said of each one of the class of 1938 as it was said of King David, “After he had served his generation by the will of God, fell on sleep.” —John L. Stauffer. Class Adviser's Message Dear Members of the Class of 1938: I am counting it a happy privilege to bring you a little message. Our friendship together has been rich indeed. Our association during the past two years has been the source of much genuine satisfaction and joy. You have wrestled manfully through problems; in your decisions you have exercised good Christian judgment; you have been ensamples to your fellow students; you have proven yourselves as possessing noble aspirations. For all these traits and many others let me give you highest com- mendation. From the first that “Ambassadors for Christ” became our motivating principle some of its challenges have gripped me. I want these challenges to take hold of you as well. The literal meaning of the Greek word translated ambassadors suggests one having age and consequently the dignity, seasoned judgment, wisdom, sagacity, and tact of experienced manhood. This does not put old heads on young shoulders, as the saying goes; rather it suggests that you as Christian youths are willing to exercise the poise and bearing of old age. In temporal affairs an ambassador holds the welfare of a nation in his hands. As he succeeds or fails to pacify nations that are ready to break into the awful horrors of war, the lives of millions of souls are at stake. The ambassador stands up in manful courage to represent his people. All his strength is summoned and brought to bear on the task of reconciling differences. As Christian ambassadors we will need, as Paul observed, to speak boldly, for we are indeed entering a conflict. God is willing and ready to forgive, but men are not willing to come back to God. Something of what is required of ambassadors was experienced by the same Apostle when he spoke of himself as an ambassador in bonds. The daysman himself may suffer at the hands of estranged man. In the case of Paul the ambassador in bonds became the ambassador in blood. His King died in order to make reconciliation; Paul also poured out his own blood as a final testimony in which he besought men, “Be ye reconciled to God.” The ambassador Paul passed on. Have we caught the inspira- tion of his dying testimony? The challenge is ours, by His grace let us meet it. A fellow ambassador, Chester K. Lehman. Page Ten Ambassadors for Christ There is a rather long list of things which should characterize a student who is being graduated from an institution of learning. The diploma which he receives on commencement day of course represents many of these things. It shows that he has passed a prescribed course of study and has made an acquaintance with various fields of knowledge such as the sciences, mathematics, literature, and languages. But the graduate must have learned more than that. Knowledge such as we have just mentioned is simply the tools. It is necessary for the student to have learned how to use these tools. The heart as well as the head must be trained. Some one has said that the quest for truth should bring one repose of mind. We might call this the satisfaction of studying. Keen delight is also found in study- ing. The pleasure of seeing new worlds through microscope and telescope has made many a heart throb with joy. It has been said, however, that the touchstone of edu- cation is sympathy—to have a feeling of kindness toward the unfortunate and to be sincerely helpful. A greatness of soul is one of the best marks of an educated person. But there is yet one mark of an educated person that we would mention. We trust that it is a mark that characterizes each member of our graduating class. That mark is simply this: The pursuit of a great purpose. The class of 1938 has chosen for its motto, “Ambassadors for Christ.” To engage in ambassadorship for Christ, we believe, is pursuing a great purpose. It is also an old purpose, this business of representing Christ, for it was to this task that a small group of men devoted themselves almost two thousand years ago. To be ambassadors for Christ has been the desire of thousands of lives since those early days of Christianity. And there is associated with these lives a nobleness of character and a peace of soul that comes only by devotion and service to Christ. We are happy that we too can follow this same path, confident that the same devotion and service to the same Christ will yield in our lives the same fruit. To be ambassadors for Christ means a great deal more than applauding the ideals and aims of the Christian faith. For a youth, or anyone, to serve Christ means to serve Him and no one else. To be an ambassador for Christ—-the kind of ambassador Christ would have one to be—calls for a severe attitude toward oneself. “Let him deny him- self and take up his cross and follow me.” The talents of Christian youth are solicited everywhere for non-Christian purposes. The temptation for a Christian youth so to use his abilities is strong. It can be overwhelming. In nothing does a young Christian need to guard more carefully than in the choosing of a life’s work. We repeat, to follow Christ means to follow Him and no one else. But let it be remembered that the same Christ who requires us to deny ourselves is able to give us the needed courage and vision to do so. Vhere are within the Mennonite Church unlimited opportunities for “Ambassa- dors for Christ.” There is a desperate need in our Church for greater spirituality. Here is a life-long challenge that is best met by a daily living that is quiet, consistent and sympathetic. Within our Church, however, 1 is a growing missionary spirit. It is expressing itself in a general expansion of missionary endeavor, such as the found- ing of new mission stations and the conducting of summer Bible schools. If we can serve as ambassadors for Christ in any such enterprises we should consider it a privilege. As ambassadors for Christ we must serve Him in the way that He desires. If | we would build for Him it must be according to His design. “Except the Lord build | the house, they labor in vain that build it.” His message of love, His redemption for mankind, can be made known only by those who are captured by His spirit and pos- sessed with His grace. i For each ambassador of Christ there is that strong assurance, “Lo, I am with you.” | In the confidence of such Presence we can be equal to the tasks ak today and measure ' up to the responsibilities of tomorrow. —Grant M.

Page Twenty-three Class Appreciation One of our first American Ambassadors to Great Britain, Edward John Phelps, in his last message to the court of England finished his address in these words, “Fortu- nate the guest who has found his welcome almost an adoption and whose farewell leaves half his heart behind.” I feel these words express the sentiment of each member of this Senior Class. At the doors of this institution we were met with a welcome, both by Faculty and Students. We have not forgotten that welcome. I am just as sure that our farewell will leave half our hearts behind. The memories of pleasant days we enjoyed as a class and with the student body here will linger long. We, first of all, give praise and thanks to our Lord and King for His leading us to this school. As an expression of gratitude for this we choose to be His Ambassadors. We appreciate the Spiritual blessings we have received from Him during this past school year. As we leave this institution we shall continue to look to Him as our King. As students, we owe much gratitude to our Faculty. We have appreciated your Christian character. We have trusted in your guidance both in secular and Biblical studies. We cherish the ideals you have set before us. Your lives have been worthy examples for us to follow. We are trusting that many more young people of our beloved church may in the future find help through your efforts. We also wish to remember the Board of Trustees as well as others who have contributed time and money to the school’s worthy cause. We have appreciated your making this institution possible. Our desire is that more who are seeking for an education may be helped in the work of this institution. I feel that each member of this class will become a loyal helper with you. The social activities, the athletics, the quiet chats and walks, the classroom ex- periences and many other activities have given us a deep appreciation of our fellow students. We feel our fellowship with you alone has made our school life well worth while. We have appreciated your Christian character and attitudes. I believe our acquaintance with each other has left de finite impressions upon us all. We trust that friendships we have made may continue after our school days here. Bruce has said, “No life is so strong and complete but it yearns for the smile of a friend.” Just so we shall look back to the friends of E. M. S. To the Juniors we would say, “With Him you can Conquer.” To the Sophomores “Strive tc the End.” To the Freshmen “Look Forward.” Dear Class Adviser: As Ambassadors for Christ we have looked to you as our chief counselor. We feel you have been a capable guide; one who has been interested in us. We have appreciated your willingness to co-operate with us in our work. The help you have given has made a large contribution to the success of our senior year. We wish you both wisdom and success in your future activities. Classmates: The task we willingly took upon ourselves is now finished. We have been looking forward to this present hour, and now it is nearly over. I am sure we have been blessed in our association and working together as a class. Probably there are many ways in which we could have improved our work, but we look to our failures as lessons for future success. I can say I have found many friends among us and I feel you have done the same. As we shall separate soon let us not forget the privilege God has given us in learning to know others who are also interested in forwarding the cause of Christ in this dark world. I have appreciated your willingness to co-operate; the spirit of unity among you, and the loyalty each of you has shown. May the ties of Ambassadorship ever keep us the same. Each of us is a member of this class. It is a union that time may break and scatter. We trust that all will be reunited in Eternity. Farewell to all. We trust t his parting will not separate us in purpose. May God be with you all. —H. Ernest Bennett. . Page Twenty-four E. M.

Many are the fond memories which we carry with us concerning this activity. The literary activities of the School benefit us in two ways. First, they serve as a means of wholesome Christian recreation. It is a pleasure to listen to a good literary program after a strenuous week’s work. Our programs are not light and humorous, but they provide a change from the daily grind of classwork. They are not entirely religious either, but still they are kept within Christian bounds. Literary work also provides a means of training in public speaking and singing. The motto of one of our societies is “Training for Service” and that is what we really do in our literary work. We train so that we may better serve our Master in whatever work He gives us. There are six literary societies at Eastern Mennonite School. There are two for the Special Bible Term students, one for the College, two for the High School Juniors and Seniors, and one for the High School Freshman and Sophomores. The Society for the two lower classes in the High School department was just organized this year. Previously these students were members of the other two societies of the High School. ARMERIANS Page Twenty-nine PHILOMATHEANS The meetings of the Special Bible Term literaries were held on Tuesday after- noon. The regular societies meet each Friday night at seven-thirty except the first Friday of the month. Each student has the privilege of becoming a member of one of these societies. On the first Friday of each month we have a public literary. Programs for these meetings are furnished by different classes or groups in the School. One program this year was given by the Special Term students, another by the Oral Expression Class, and still another was a reading contest among the college students. Literary at E. M. S. is strictly a student activity. We have our own organizations, prepare our own programs and render them. A Literary Committee of three Faculty members approves the programs and gives suggestions. They are greatly interested in literary work; in fact, the Chairman has been connected as student or otherwise with the literary activities of the School in some way nearly every year since the liter- ary work of the School was started twenty years ago. To the literaries we of the senior class now bid adieu. Probably some of our number will be back to participate in your activities next year. We who are leaving not to return must say we have appreciated our work in this field and give our best wishes to all future activities. —John M. Lehman. ADELPHIANS Page Thirty ASTRAL SOCIETY AVIAN SOCIETY NATURE SOCIETY Page Thirty-one Astral Society About thirty-six resident members took an active part this year in the work of the Society. On clear evenings our star-gazes on the roof of the school or on the front campus were enjoyed immensely. Star-drills were a regular feature of our monthly programs. Early in the year we had an interesting lecture and demonstration on “The Universe to Scale” by Bro. Brackbill. At the April meeting we had the privilege of hearing a lecture on “Measurements of Star-Distances” by Mr. Leonard Barcus, graduate student of astronomy at the University of Virginia. On Saturday evening, November 6, 1937, thirty-nine of us drove to the Leander McCormick Observatory at Charlottesville, Va. Here through the large 25-inch re- fracting telescope we had an excellent view of Saturn and the Ring Nebula and the double star in Lyra. The boys in the Astral society are constructing a six-inch, newtoman type, re- flecting telescope. By means of this the dark bands of Jupiter and the ice caps of Mars can be seen. This telescope is a donation to the Astral society by the present members. On February 7, 1938, we celebrated the eighth anniversary of the society. The total membership now is one hundred fifty. Our next reunion is scheduled for the coming Christmas vacation at the Fels Planetarium, Philadelphia. We anticipate a good program and a large attendance. Ad Astra! —Esther Good. Avian Society The membership this year has reached the record height of forty-nine. With Bro. D. Ralph Hostetter as sponsor and Bro. Melvin Ruth in charge of the hikes we have had a number of interesting as well as instructive meetings. Each month this group of bird-lovers migrates to the Biology Laboratory where programs are given. Some titles of interesting programs we have enjoyed this year are, “Mechanical Side of Bird Life,” “Voices No Longer Heard,” “Attracting Birds,” and ‘“‘Senses and Behavior of Birds.” These programs consist of talks, readings, music, and illustrated lectures. Yes, the Avians still possess the hiking spirit. Saturday morning usually brings them out to some nearby woodland. Armed with binoculars, bird-guides, and with their thoughts far from history, Latin, or Greek they test their knowledge in identify- ing birds and searching for the less common species. Last fall a group enjoyed an interesting illustrated lecture on birds by Dr. Allen at Washington and Lee University. Spring brings with it the annual trip to Sparkling Springs, an event Avians look forward to. This is a glimpse of our activities and what is in store for future Avians. —Andrew Gingerich. Nature Society The Nature Society, organized this year for Junior class members, had its be- ginning under the direction of D. Ralph Hostetter. This organization was only the beginning of many delightful times the thirty-three of us have enjoyed. Our pro- grams have been interesting and helpful. Best of all were the trips to interesting places where nature rules free and even its freaks were seen. By the help of our sponsor we have seen and learned to appreciate many things we did not notice before. We leave to the following students the unlimited privilege of building a bigger and better Nature Society in the years to come. We have enjoyed it and we know you will too. —Miriam Virginia Lehman. Page Thirty-two For Six Short Weeks Mennonite young people everywhere are realizing more keenly the need and value of training. Some attribute this cognizant attitude to the Summer Bible School movement, in which trained and qualified young people are sought as teachers. In January, 1938, a relatively large number of young people laid aside other duties to take training for six weeks at Eastern Mennonite School. On the morning of Janu- ary 4, the regular student body found the halls crowded with new students. Many new faces, anxious but friendly, greeted them. They had come for the opportunity await- ing in the Special Bible Term. An address “Ten Keys to Bible Knowledge” by J. B. Smith appropriately “set the pace” for the busy six weeks of Christian fellowship, Christian training, and Bible study interspersed with wholesome Christian recreation. Registration revealed another record in attendance for Special Bible Term, ex- ceeding 1937’s record-breaking attendance of 110. Eleven states were represented. Pennsylvania led the list with 65 representatives. Virginia followed with 26; Ohio 8: Maryland 8; Michigan 7; Oregon 3; West Virginia 2; and one each from Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, and Iowa: making a total of 123. These together with the 180 regular students made a total of 303 students at Eastern Mennonite School. To some this figure may be abstract and have little meaning, but to those involved this large number meant much more. First, it meant acquaintance and fellowship with fine Christian young people from a large number of communities; second, it meant to each one an increased number of friends, and third, it meant contact with three hundred and three lives, each with a distinct personality which had the power to influence and modify other lives. Accommodations could be made in the dormitories for only a few, about a dozen or more. The remainder found pleasant rooms in homes of fac ulty members and others in the community. About two hundred took meals in the dining hall, which has a capacity of thirty tables. Seven were placed at some tables instead of the usual six; thus, by applying the old saying, “There is always room for one more” accommodations were made for all. Mealtime always afforded ample opportunity for social pleasantries. Tickets were drawn for the tables twice each week. This continual re-grouping resulted in more acquaintance between special Bible students and regular students. SPECIAL BIBLE TERM STUDENTS Page Thirty-three The Special Bible Term curriculum included studies in the Old and New Testa- ments, the Greek language, and music, both rudiments and practice chorister-training. sro. J. Irvin Lehman, Chambersburg, Pa., and Bro. Henry Lutz, Mount Joy, Pa the Special Bible Term instructors, ably conducted the Term with the aim of fostering spiritual growth constantly in mind. One of them upon being asked what Special Bible Term means to him, replied, “It means acquaintance and fellowship with a group of noble Christian young people.” Five of the regular faculty members assisted in teaching Special Bible Term courses, namely, Chester K. Lehman, Dorothy Kemrer, Menno Brunk, D. W. Lehman, and J. R. Mumaw. During C. K. Lehman’s three wecks absence his classes were taught by Bro. J. B. Smith, Elida, ©: Special Bible Term brought with it numerous oppertunities for Christian fellow- ship and activity. pena the two-week period of revival meetings conducted by E. F. Hartzler, Marshallville, O., many experienced spiritual victories. In the Sunday- School meetings effective methods for the teacher and problems of the teacher were profitably discussed. Messages on Christian Adventures were given in Christian Life Conference. In Mission Meetings the emphasis was placed on Christ’s command to bear the torch of the gospel light to the lost. Devotional, Young People’s and Mission Prayer meetings also tended to enhance spiritual life among the student body. For wholesome recreation and training two literary societies, the Mennovian and the Berean, were organized among the Special Bible Term students. This activity gave zest to school life. It was the source of much of the evident enthusiasm shown in life here. Members took up their assignments quite willingly, and got pleasure in Soe i 5 a eee Aa eS performing them. These societies showed their interest in the future welfare of the School by several gifts, namely, a north-end fire escape, and lights for the terrace steps. y g y g The splendid Public Literary Program of February 4 was the result of effort of the Special Bible Term students and revealed ability in oratory, music, and original poetry. For the benefit of the Special Bible Term students the social committee sponsored a get-acquainted meeting, a Massanutten Peak climb, a visit to Endless and Massanut- ten Caverns, and a trip to Natural Bridge, which included the evening symphony of creation. These activities I have mentioned are fruits of six opportune weeks at Eastern Mennonite School, and they came to the Special Bible Term students of 1938. For them they have borne both flower and fruit and today yield the fragrance of pleasant memorics. —Melvin Glick.

M. S. during 1937-1938 (An Allegory) I was musing in my room one day as to what life is to us as students here at the E. M. S. Soon I saw before me a field in which almost two hundred people were digging earnestly. For nine months, as I watched them, the time seemed to pass in days and weeks and months. I noticed each evening except one of every week one of the group would go apart a short distance and bring back provisions for the rest. Each morning except two the same thing was done. The fifth morning of each week was one of special feasting. I saw also that about an hour after the morning repast many of them would go individually to the place of provisions and help themselves to whatever they wished. “Who are these people,” I asked a bystander, “and what are they doing?” He answered, “They are students of the Eastern Mennonite School and they are digging for nuggets of knowledge.” “T notice,” said I “that during these periods of refreshment not all partake. What is the reason for this?” “The morning refreshment is the Chapel Service which everyone attends. Friday Morning Devotion is the rich service on the fifth day of each week. The evening re- past is the Prayer Circle which most of the students attend. The period before Chapel Service is the Morning Watch in which students may conduct their private devotions. This period is the key which unlocks the doors leading to real daily, spiritual enjoy- ment.” Watching again, I noticed every seventh day some of the group carrying the more bountiful refreshments to others outside the group who seemed to be weak and almost famished. I asked my friend, “Who are these going out with the meal?” “They are the Gospel workers who go on Sundays to the Blue Ridge Mountains, to the Harrisonburg White and Colored Missions, to the Jail, to the City and County Almshouses, and to the various homes about the school for cottage meetings. To willing and conscientious helpers, these activities have proved to be an immeasurable blessing.” I noticed, too, about five or six groups of six going away quite some distance, whose purpose seemed to be to arouse interest in the place, and not in vain by any means. “These are Gospel Teams,” said my friend, “who go to Tennessee, to Ohio, to Canada, to western Pennsylvania, and to West Virginia.” After observing the group again for several months I was surprised to see about one hundred’ and twenty more join the present group for six weeks, during which period many special feasts were held. One lasted one week while the other three were for a day. Upon inquiring as to the meaning of this I was told, “The week of feasting is the Ministers’ Weck held especially for visiting ministers. Many of the students shared in the good things at this time. One of the feasts is the Christian Life Confer- ence at which were discussed Christian Adventures in Faith, Truth, Prayer, Love, etc. Other feasts were discussions in the Sunday School Conference of Problems and Methods of Teaching. In the last feast, the Mission Meeting, the foreign fields of Africa, South America, and Spain were discussed.” ’ For a period of two weeks in the Fall and one in the Spring I noticed a special feast among these people. “These,” said my companion, “are periods of Revival Meet- ings, the first conducted by Bro. Milton Brackbill and the second by Bro. Enos Hartz- lear During the second half of the nine months I noticed a weekly feast in the evening. I found out that these were Mission Study classes which studied the Biblical Basis of Missions, Prophecy, the Summer Bible School, and City Missions. Suddenly the field vanished and I realized that I had seen something akin to a vision. Had I after all realized all the possibilities for activity and Christian growth which lie before students at E. M. S.? —Robert Garber. Page Thirty-six MIXED CHORUS The Music Department A great deal of time is spent in singing at E. M. S. Without it there would be a great emptiness in our school life. The halls are made cheery with the melodies which come from overflowing hearts. However, individual singing is not all that we hear. We have organized groups —the largest of which is the Mixed Chorus. We have this year a larger membership than ever before—exactly one hundred. On Monday and Wednesday of each week one period is devoted to chorus practice which is under the supervision of Brother Chester K. Lehman. He informed us at the start that we get the best results when the director is “hard-boiled,” and we have found it to be so. Mixed Chorus has rendered a number of programs during the year. The first was a Christmas program at which time songs in accordance with the season were sung from “Master Choruses” and “Triumphant Service Hymns.” Men’s and Ladies’ Choruses also took part in this program. During the Special Bible Term another program was given—the songs which were sung from Rodeheaver’s Chorus Book. By request this program was repeated on Sunday afternoon, April 24 before a large audience of former students and friends. The annual homecoming of this week-end proved a big success. Approximately fifty-four former students together with one hundred regular members of the Chorus sang Gaul’s oratorio, “The Holy City,” for the sixth consecutive year. LADIES’ CHORUS OL Page Thirty-seven MEN’S CHORUS Formerly anyone could become a member of Mixed Chorus who wished to do so, but next year the requirements for admittance to this Chorus are to be raised. The Ladies’ Chorus is directed by Bro. D. W. Lehman. This chorus, besides participating in the Tri-Chorus Christmas program, has also given programs at the Morning View and Lindale churches. Programs by the Men’s Chorus under the leadership of one of the students, Eby Leaman, were rendered at the Springdale Church in Augusta County as well as at Morning View. This year we have three organized quartets: The Faculty Quartet (Bros. D. W. Lehman, H. D. Weaver, Chester K. Lehman and E. G. Gehman); the Meistersingers (Mark Stauffer, Eby Leaman, Edwin Keener, and Robert Garber); and the Thalian (Otis Yoder, Earl Maust, Lloyd Hartzler and Robert Hess). These quartets furnished music for a variety of occasions. The Thalian assisted in a program given at Hilde- brand; the Meistersingers went on several Y. P. C. A. trips—to Ohio, western Penn- sylvania and to Canada, the Faculty Quartet has given programs at Hildebrand, Springdale and at several mountain mission stations. —Alyce Mast.

Page Forty Message from the President of the Alumni Association We want to remind you again of the several ways in which we can do our bit for an institution which we have come to appreciate. We are convinced of the benefits such a school can give to the individual who attends, and we are equally as much convinced of the good it can contribute to the general cause of the Mennonite Church. In order to make it the greatest possible blessing to the Cause of Christ we must be willing to do our part and share in its responsibility of promotion and in its support. Much has been said about the opportunities of intercession and we have often pledged some of our secret times with the Lord to the interests of Eastern Mennonite School. It is a personal question to raise but should we not take a little inventory of our prayers to see just how often we have actually labored in intercessions for this great work? You will agree, I am sure, that we have not done what we might have. We are therefore pleading for a revival of school effort in our prayers. This is the Lord’s work and it must be carried on in the strength of the Lord. “The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” The School needs money. It must have means for maintenance, It needs money to increase her enrollment. It should have resources for expansion. It is gratifying to see that among our alumni there are a number of successful business men. It is even more gratifying to know that they are men of Kingdom interests. That means we can count on such for substantial gifts to the institution which needs your help. We are not unmindful, however, of the remarks of Jesus who pointed out the supreme worth of the widow’s offering. The smaller gifts are appreciated, too. One of the best advertisements of the School is the faithful promotion of her ideals and standards. Men are looking for the results of an institution in the students she sends out. People are reading our lives to see what influence the institution is bearing upon the church. We are satisfied that this school is being conducted on a practical basis of faith and Christian experience. We want others to be convinced of that, too. It is our duty, as graduates of a church school, to fit into the program of the local church community. We believe the standards of the School are not far from the standards of every community in our constituency. This matter of adjustment has been no great problem to us. I think we have found it comparatively easy to fit into the evangelical mold of our church communities. It is easy to fit into the fundamental creeds of the Church. We have not been seriously embarrassed in fitting into the con- servative attitudes of the Church. We have been taught these principles during our school life and we have come to appreciate the Biblical emphasis which these standards give to the Christian life. In supporting this institution with money donations we find a suitable means of expressing our gratitude for the things we have learned. We show our appreciation for what the Lord has done for us in giving us the opportunity to get an education under such a strong Christian influence and with such a sound Biblical emphasis. Tam glad we need not be ashamed of our scholastic heritage. We can heartily recom- mend it to coming generations. We will be doing them a real favor to encourage them to attend the school which has meant much to us. Many of you have come to positions of great influence in the church. We are urging you to give your first loyalty to Christ and to support the work of the Church. Indirectly and at the same time you will be promoting the interests of the School. Your testimony will count. Your advice will carry weight. Your recommendations will get attention. Your in- fluence and moral support will do much to advance the interests of the institution if you will only help to get people thinking that way. In meeting our obligations to the coming generation let us first support the Church and her work. But do not forget the ideals of the institution which gave birth to many of your spiritual convictions. Advertise the benefits of Eastern Mennonite School wherever you are and in whatever position you are asked to serve. —John R. Mumaw.
