Foreword The 1944 Senior journal Staff presents this number to the students and alumni of Eastern Mennonite School, endeavoring therein to make live the many pleasant memories of Christian fellowship in this school year. In keeping with the motto of our Alma Mater, Thy Word is Truth, we have attempted to portray in word and in picture the true spirit and all that contributes to making E.lXI.S. what it is. This volume goes forth with the prayers of the staff that it may be of inspira- tion to its readers and a means of bringing glory to Him. -R.

S'l'Al'FIAl-ZR To the 194.1 Graduating Class: UI-iAR GRADUATIQSI You have reached your goal and now you face the unknown future with a diploma from a Christian school: but this is not your greatest resource in meet- ing the tests ol life. That is Christian character. Xvithout it. education, culture, and good resolutions will not avail. Success in the lile olf a Christian is measured in terms ol' what you possess in the inner man. True Christian character has in it the elements ol' supernatural experience. lt has for its basis an inward spiritual transformation wrought by the grace ol' Cod and the operations ol' the Holy Spirit. NVith such an experience you need not fear the influences of the hostile world from without. nor the conllict with the llesh from within. It is better to trust in the Lord than to put conhdence in man is the testimony of the psalmist. Men everywhere are trttsting in intellectual achieve- ments, in organization. in invention, and in the trained millions of the army. naval, .md air forces. These national resources are not invincible, but the Cod in whom we trust is both omnipotent and eternal. Il' He preserves the lives ol' multiplied millions who reject Him. will He not give special care to those who trust Him? Trust in the l.ord will not exempt one from trial, from suffering, from being misunderstood by the people of the world nor from persecution. lt has pleased the Lord to advance His cause through the suffering ol' His own. Our Lord suffered when He was here, and He calls upon us to follow in His steps. In the world ye shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. To the Christian, union with Christ is more important than physical life. I.et us take courage in these dark days trusting in the Lord, and we can safely look to Him for guidance to our good and for His glory. l5l Dean and College Class Advise1 s Message Dmtt hll'1MlSl'2RS or 'rntc Ct.Ass or t9.1.1: I have intensely enjoyed ottr fellowship togetlter during the past two years. The beautiful Christian graces found in your lives have won for you a large place in my heart. May this Christian friendship be but the beginning of a life- long fellowship which shall be constantly enriched by the realization in our lives of the riches of our motto, That I may know Him. Have we descended to the depths or ascended to tlte heights or measured the lengths and breadths of these words? They tnark a sharp contrast. between l'aul's aspirations and those of his .Iewish opponents. Proud -Iewish boasters in tlte llcsh cottld be outdone by the apostle. XVhat more could any tlew claim than he? Circutncized, a Benjamite. an Hebrew, a Pharisee, a persecutor of tlte church, and blameless as regards the law! But Paul discovered an absolute al- ternative: he must either place confidence in all these gains or count it all loss for Christ. He could not at the satne time proudly boast of his Jewish heritage and also win Christ. All things had to be counted as loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus. To be found in Him, having the righteousness which is through the faith of Christ, was thezway to this excellency. That I may know Him, became the all controlling aspiration of the apostle's life. Closely following these words and in the manner of giving their meaning he notes that their realization is found in experiencing the power of His resurrec- tion and tlte fellowship of His sufferings. The former empowered him for holy living and serviceg the latter led hitn to take up his cross daily and to share with Christ the agonies of the cross. The climax of this knowing Him is realized in tlte attainment unto the resurrectiott of the dead, an experience not yet actualized but one to which he is press- ing on. It is to the mark for tlte prize . . of the high calling of Cod in Christ jesus. I lind three great ideas bound up in this context, all centering in 10-5 yvmifat ativrov. The first is the absolute necessity of wholly renouncing all earthly gains in order to win Christ. lt is the self-abnegating position, putting our full trust in Christ as the all-sufficient One. The second meas- ures the gamut of personal fellowship with Christ. lt is not at once intimateg it radiates power: it points to death as the way to greater life. The third marks an attitude of aspiration. The goal is not yet attained, nor is there perfection. The course ahead is that of following after, one of reaching for- ward, and of pressing toward the ntark. May these challenges spur each one of us to the realization of this ' great motto.

The best of young men, the creatn of society, have answered and are continuing to answer the call to military service to become an integral 132111 of the war machine. Society has been disrupted. Plans on the part of many for an education in higher institutions of learning have been discontinued. Indeed, we are graduating at a most critical time. I h D A In light of this we are especially grateful to the Lord for the privilege al- forded us to attend Eastern lNfIennonite School. Before going forth in His name. we pause to express our sincere appreciation. DEAR PARaN'rs, to you we give thanks for bestowing upon us a wonderful Christian heritage. Faithfully you have guarded and nurtured us. With parent- like concern your eyes have been turned toward this spot in Shenandoah Valley. Untiringly you have labored and sacrificed that the privilege might be ours to enjoy the blessings of a Christian education. Keenly have we felt those prayers that have ascended to the throne of grace in our behalf. On this occasion we are assembled in a spacious auditorium. Many were the times when the entire student body gathered here to give attention to Spirit- filled messages. New impetus and ardor to press forward were effected by the work of the Spirit. From this very platform we were led to greater adoration of our Creator through the rendition of choruses from the master cotnposers. Thanks to the Board of Trustees and the faithful stewards of Gotl's bounty who for the cause of Christ and the furtherance of Christian education have made it possible for us to enjoy these blessings. To you DEAR FACUI.'l'Y, we give thanks. Your spirit of consecration and exemplary living have inspired us to follow Christ even as you are following Him. You have handled aright't.he XVord of Truth and have now delegated us to go forth and uphold the same principles and ideals. You have been patient and longsulfering in dealing with us when our feet have wandered from the path of righteousness. Divine blessings upon you as you continue steadfastly to declare the whole counsel of God. DEAR Ct.Ass Anvtst-JR: You have challenged us to live life at its best, the abundant life in Christ jesus. Your sympathetic concern for the proper guid- ance of Christian youth is connnendable. YVell do we recall your fatherly coun- sel from the platfortn, in class meetings, and in personal chats. With increased stamina may you persist in upholding the doctrines of Holy XVrit and in strengthening the bulwarks of our faith. FELLOXV C1.AssMATEs, this is indeed a momentous prelude to stepping over the threshold of instittttional learning into the commencetnent of life and its associated problems and experiences. It really does seem but a matter of weeks since we first met. But what joyous experiences we have had together. His in- visible Spirit in the quietness of morning watch, in the lull of conversation, and the meditations of routine study has spoken peace and dispensed strength. XfVe have been bound together by the Spirit of Christ who trusts all tnemory of Him- self to the hearts of men. Upon bidding farewell may each of us go forward determined by His grace to appropriate by experience the compelling urge of the Apostle Paul, That I May Know Him. tm C -SSP' COLLEGE BIBLE First Row-M.

I2:iI X-L, f T f tc vwwdg 1 , High School Class Adviser's Message BY -1. MARK s'1'.-xtirrua Today, you approach the climax of your high-school career. You have anticipated this event as the sailor longs for the time when he shall embark for sea. Your stay with us has seemed brief, but you have endeared yourselves to both faculty and fellow student. X'Ve have admired your cheering faces, your scholastic record, your charming personalities. and your spiritual stamina. Time will be loathe to remove from our minds the sound of your voices and the tread of your feet that have contributed to our school family in such a personal way. Much could be said about the national and international problems that may confront you as a citizen of this great country. X'Vithout blinding your- selves to your environment, I must ask you to keep your eyes fastened upon the cross and your affections centered on the One who hung there. Ponder on the vision of tl1e cross till it dominates your thinking and gives you spiritual cour- age for each day. Fan your flame of love for jesus Christ till it burns out all of self and leaves you wholly His own, Dedicate your life to the spacious task of propagating the Gospel by word and deed. Bear your torch of faith skyward, Carry it into the night. DI'lAIi You'1'H1fut, SENIOR: Before closing, allow me to commit you to the Shepherd of Tender Youth. He, who carried the lambs in ,His bosom, is qualified, above all others, to lead you into His pasture and there indicate His plan for your life. You have only to keep your life pure and be in the serv- ice for your Lord, till in God's own time, you shall receive an eternal reward for your unswerving bravery and loyalty in life's battle. You have been care- fully trainedg you have received your torch of faith, now go forth in tl1e train of the Son of God. He alone will lead you to a complete victory and a lasting peace. Fare ye well. May thef Lord bless you and keep you. l24l y... 1 5 .. HK 7 I i 44' - ' Z , L 5 I, X 1 . , I ' Y 'I 1, fh v ,F -1 If ' x J 1 ' , I 1 I 0 an 0 y . 1 . , 1 y '. 3' x f ' L 11 ,' , 41 f .

I 40 I High School Class President's Address Appreciation H BY PAUL LANDIS The time of our pilgrimage here at Eastern Mennonite School is rapidly drawing to a close. Behind us lie many varied and interesting experiences in the classroom, the chapel services, literaries, nature societies, and the dining hall. The voice of the Lord has very definitely spoken to our hearts. We have enjoyed great spiritual feasts. These feasts have proved a real blessing to our lives, they have helped to found us on the Rock more securely, through them our hearts have been stablished in the faith. I These privileges have come to us as the result of the untiring efforts of those interested in our Mennonite youth. To these we wish to express our ap- preciation. To you, our beloved parents, we owe much for our Christian heritage. We appreciate deeply the numerous sacrifices, the sincere efforts, and the fervent prayers you have offered in our behalf. life realize that these prayers have con- tributed largely to our success. We rejoice in our hearts because you have so willingly allowed 'us to come here. Our many encounters with you, DEAR FACULTY, have deepened and enrich- ed our lives. Your warmhearted interest in youth, the opportunities you have provided for our spiritual development, and the willingness with which you have helped us with our problems have left indelible impressions on our minds. Your Spirit-filled lives have challenged and shall continue to challenge us to nobler living in Christ Jesus. That you may continue to uphold, teach and exemplify the high standards of God's Word as you have done, is our prayer. lVe gratefully extend our thanks to you. DEAR CI.Ass ADVISER, we wish to express our sincere appreciation for the way you so successfully directed us through our work as a class. Working with you has been a. pleasure. Your wise counsel has saved us from not a few snares. We thank you, the BOARD or TRUS1'EES, for the way you have made possible this School so that we might be instructed by Christian teachers in a Christian environment. life appreciate your prayers and the many hours you have spent in our behalf. And now, DEAR CLAssMA'rr:s. we are about to step into a world that is filled with strife, bloodshed, and intense suffering. The nations of the world today are engaged in what is the greatest conflict ever known to man. The spirit of pride, jealousy, greed, and hatred is prevalent among men of the world. For this reason, they shrink not at mercilessly killing each other. Their hearts are saturated with darkness. Christ, the true Light, is denied His rightful place as Lord of their lives. They are lovers of malicious pleasure more than lovers of God. They love darkness rather than light. Their souls are badly diseased and bound for eternal destruction. People's minds are filled with fear because the thought of death strikes terror in their hearts. As they look out into the future beyond this life, they see nothing to give them hope. Therefore, a great responsibility comes to us in a forceful manner. We must take to this people the Gospel of Truth, which can make them free. We can expect persecution for the servant is not greater than his Lord. But our hearts are made brave in the love of Christ. Let us then go forward with holy bold- ness, UBI-LARING THE TORCH or FAITHV, lflll THE YEAR On August 31 prospective students for the school year 1943-44 appeared on the E.M.S. campus. For many, dreams had come true. What could be more idealistic than to spend a year at such a beautiful place, surrounded by pictur- esque Virginia hills and mountains? Faces expressed smiles of anticipation and happiness on registration day when students looked forward to weeks of delightful fellowship with several hundred Christian young people and faculty advisers, who seemed interested in the problems of Mennonite youth. Then, too, faces expressed joy because of the congenial E.M.S. atmosphere. x Old students remembered hurrying down halls with arms loaded with books, the buzz of electric bells, the ring of happy voices singing in Chapel, and the sharp retort of baseball bats as they hurl balls into space. This was what the new students were eagerly waiting to experience Early 'in October, Open House presente itself. When the girls saw the third floor homes, they realized that boys, too, have originality and good taste. About this same time our fall revival meetings were held. One of the emphatic statements that the evangelist, Brother Irvin Lehman, made was, There is a difference between believing and trying to believe. That delightful day spent at Martin's W'ood won't soon be fOl'gOIlCI1. YVith blue, cloudless skies and beautiful October weather, it was a perfect day. Hik- ing, games, eating, and an entertaining midafternoon program were the high- lights. As the exhausted group wended their way slowly homeward, some of them sang. but all of them thought, I'm so glad to get back to the dear old E.M.S. BY GE RALDI N E GROSS l42l BRIEF A couple ol' weeks later on October 27 the Weather Vane celebrated its fourth birthday. Concerning its history Brother Brackbill, the sponsor, wrote. 'I'here have been magazines that started out with a lot more money and glamor and brains than the lVeather Vane had and didn't last lout' years. lts story is more like tltat olf the immigrant boy in its beginning and perhaps is headed. and let us hope it is headed. lor a venerable and noble eareer. Various interesting weekend leatures were provided lor the student body throughout the year. The Knisses. returned missionaries from India, broadened our vision ol' and inereased our burden for our Indian brothers and sisters. Soon after the Knisses gave their leetures. Brother Paul lirb eame to lC.M.S. lront Goshen. One of his talks was entitled l'he l.il't ol Literatttre to the Soul. KW' were made to realize tltat there are great storehouses ol beautilul things that we have only looked at but which are our privilege to explore. It was an inspiring time during the evangelistic' seryiees alter the Christmas holidays. Several ltundretl students tnade eonlessions and gare testimonies throughout those weeks ol' spiritual leastiug. One ol' Brother -lohn l.app's strik- ing Sli!lClllClllS-'HxVllCll Christ comes. will we be lound weighed in the balances and found wanting or weighed in the balances and lound ready? f-was itn- pressed upon our minds. Supreme peace was manifested on the laees ol' those who surrendered their all to Christ. In May when the graduates reeeiyed their diplomas, they realized tltat they were standing on the threshold ol' lile. 'l'o some. the luture seemed dim and un- certain: to others. tlte luture looked rosy and bright. Nevertheless. all ol' the students haye the eomlorting promise. Commit thy way unto the Lord: trust also in him, and he shall bring it to pass. to eherish in their hearts. i431 Jumoiz CLASS First Row-E. Moyer, K. Suter, H. Housemann, D. Baer, L. Showalter, F.

We feel in- debted to our teachers who have nobly sought to direct our lives into paths of success. We extend to Cod the fervor of our prayers that, in the years to follow. our lives might here be moulded into vessels of usefulness.-Naomi Kennel. The hfty students in our Sophomore Class make up a group of energetic people that appreciate a good time after some hard study. The red letter dates marked on our calendar ol' events are social gatherings and a gift exchange at Christmastime. lVe shall carry with us many fond memories of the activities that our class sponsor, Sister Lefever, provided for us. We are anticipating a successful junior year at E.M.S. where we can more thoroughly prepare to go forth as children of the King.-Louise Heatwole. To describe with what anticipation we looked forward to our Junior year would be a difficult task. To describe with what expectancy we await our Senior year would be still more difficult. But the delightful thing is that our ex- pectancies have materialized. YVith seventy-two students of similar ages. varied interests, still more varied personalities, and numerous talents, propelled by an energetic president, Frank Brunk, and an understanding adviser, Brother M. T. Brackbill, how could it be otherwise? Socials, class meetings, and other pleas- ures which we have enjoyed. are not just shortlived pleasures, but experiences that are training us for life. So you see why it is we look eagerly on to our Senior year. To you who have not had the privilege of being one of the seventy-two of the junior Class, we extend an invitation to join the Senior Class of '45.- john Miller. I 45 l Y. P. C. A.

The Young People's Christian Association BY RALPH SHANK XfVhen I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die: il thou dost not speak to warn the wicked lroni his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity: but his blood will I require at thine hand. As the Word of God was taught in the early days of the school, convictions were deepened, visions were enlarged, opportunities made their appeal, and the Word became as fire shut up in the bones and the students could not stay. The Young Pe0ple's Christian Association was organized as an answer to the above situation. Through the years the teaching of that same Wford has kept alive the same convictions and produced the satne visions. According to the Y.P.C.A. constitution the object of this organization shall be to enlist the co-operation of all Christian students in order to strengthen the spiritual life ol' the school: to promote growth in Christian character, fellowship, and :aggressive Christian work, especially by and for the students: to train its members for Christian service and to lead them to devote their lives to jesus Christ and the extension of His church. We give out the eternal Wford of God to inintortal souls. We speak deliver- ance to the captive. VVe comfort the feeble-minded. XVe support the weak. Among the large student body where there is evidence of every condition, from deadly carnality to deep spirituality, the association labors by prayer and l45l by preparing d o c I r i Il a l. devotional, and missionary pro- grams for the students' benefit. Away from the school a hun- dred people will stop on the street corner to listen to the story that never grows old. Men behind l!'0Il bars pour out their souls with lC2ll'S ol' sorrow and joy as they realize that they too can hope in God. At the prison camp we have a unique audience. In front of the speaker are two long rows of men fastened to heavy iron chains. College and university students are there paying the penalty for crime. Several armed guards are seated as it were in the amen corner. At the close of the service the prisoners will sing spirituals with the richness that only those people can. At no other place is the ellect ol' the curse manifest in a visible form as at the almshouse. I-Iere the mentally and physically de- formed congregate to receive comfort and encouragement. Through the Y.P.C..-X. they End that for which they are seeking. Our reward comes in testimon' ies like this one, Brother ---, the longer you preach, the better I feel. No worker leaves these meetings without thanking God more sincerely than ever before lor his everyday blessings. XVe give out. many tracts and Bibles. Gospel tours represent our Saviour at various congrega- tions and mission stations. We disburse thousands of dollars to other missionary and charitable organizations. In the past we canvassed Har- risonburg and organized two mission stations there which are now under the Virginia Mission Board. For a number of years the Y.P.C..X. sponsored extended itinerary tours through the mountains ol' Kentucky, which resulted in the establishing ol' work by the Virginia Board. How glad we are that God permits us to help in His work! COUNTY JAIL l l I COUNTY ALMSHOUSE CITY MISSION g RURAL MISSION l 47 I MIXED CHORUS First Row-E. Erb, E. L. Gable, M. Brunk, B. Kurtz, E.

This motive has made our singing sincere and expressiveg it has made us earnest in our practices and reverent in giving our programs. God has given strength and blessings. The Christian must sing-sing of the great love ol Christ, sing of His birth. glorify His death and resurrection and praise l-lis name. Wlith direction and training a large group learns to sing together with ease and loveliness, which make Church music seem a throb with beauty. No recreation could be more worthy. Singing frees our feelings, develops our affections, soothes our tired bodies, and releases our thoughts to the realm of the spirit. Music is magic. It wings us high to the ethereal, out of ourselves and into the spiritual. It glides us down-softly, slowly, and then with swelling tumult, rushes us upward, holds us expectant, trembling, lets us drop-quivering, antie- ipating, awful. And music with words does more. lt makes us follow-feeling, because of our own spiritual experience, the every sentiment and praise ex- pressed. Our songs have been those from the masters and those of the lesser com- posers. Along with the reverance which Palestrina's Alleluia, Lord God ima parts to us comes the pensive feeling of I Shall Not Pass Again This Way. The grandeur of And the Glory of the Lord we shall carry with us and the metnory of that night when everyone did come in at the right time-even the basses. And thinking of basses-hear that profound, rumbling, increasing volume as Alle- lujah Amen, fills the Auditorium and reaches-unto God. Giving programs is exciting but by far the most enioyable-what is more fun-is practicing, knowing each other-in song. How blest are they-who singl l48l Junior Chorus BY HULD.-KH GEHMAN As we glance over our week's schedule, the four-forty periods on Monday and Tuesday are pleasant anticipations. lt is in the Junior Chorus that ninety- one ordinary singers of both the high school and college departments learn im- provement under the leadership of Brother J. Mark Stauller. Vocal aid, prac- tice in note-reading, practical lessons in group singing, training prior to students entering the more advanced Mixed Chorus, and also diversion from more strenu- ous studies are provided. YVe are in the Junior Chorus because we want to be: we like to sing. Membership is voluntary-hence a live interest. Our material this year was selected from Noels Old and New, and the Rodeheaver Chorus Collection. Among the songs we sang are these: Christians, Awake, Salute the Happy Morn : Here YVe Come A-Caroling : U Holy Night : VT Three Kings of Orient .-Xre : Cast Thy Burden Upon the l.ord : The llill, the Cross, the Crown : YVe Praise Thee, O King : HR- Worship Before 'l'hee : Over the Stars : and Exalt His Name. Throughout the year we presented several programs. The chorus sang a few numbers on the Christmas music- program and gave au eveningfs program in the spring. The Junior Chorus in its third year has continued the practice ol' specializing in good informal music as in preceding years. NVe trust the result of this year's work may be that the congregational singing in the home churches of the members of this chorus will have been helped be- cause John and Mary availed themselves of this excellent opportunity.

GARBER A great variety of aims and purposes were represented in the hearts of ninety-nine Mennonite young people as they gathered at l5.M.S. for six weeks ol' special Bible study. We came here for many different reasons, yet uppermost in our minds was the looming desire to better fit ourselves for our M,aster's service. We were hardly more than settled until all of us were invited to a get- acquainted social. Through cleverly planned games we were introduced to a great many E.M.S. students. Like most human beings, however, we forgot al- most all those names we had heard: nevertheless. we already felt that we were a part of the big E.M.S. family. The family surely had grown. The cooks realized this almost more than anyone, but they did their double duty so well that no one fell short when it came to eating. The dining hall, too, noticed the enlarged family, for all its tables were put into use and some of them were even kind enough to take seven consumers rather than six! This enlarged family would have become almost a problem to Brother Melvin Ruth and Sister Zimmerman, had not ot1r hospitable friends of Parkview invited some of us into their homes, 'l'o be of great service to our Lord and King our hearts must be free from sin and truly consecrated to l-Iim. During the revival messages which God gave through Brother john l.app, the Lord did some deep heart searching, the result being that many had confessions to make. Now we can truly say Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory! Following the revivals we had the privilege of hearing many messages relating to living the Christian life victoriously. May l52l BIBLE TER we with His help live up to these new visions and convictions which God has given us. Many ol us had the opportunity to assist in jail services. in cottage prayer meetings, in visiting the convalescent, home and almshouscs, and in distributing The XVay throughout Harrisonburg. Since we have seen how some ol' our Icllow human beings are living. all ol us can say that we appreciate our own precious heritage more. Another high point was the youth Guidance ilonlerence. XVas there any- one who didn'l, appreciate the sound advice ol' a Christian doctor and missionary? Certainly not! During this conference we enjoyed having capable speakers dis- cuss our spiritual, vocational, social, and health problems. Through the Mennovian and Berean Literary Societies we had the opportu- nity to develop our talents for speaking. The last meeting was held conjoint- ly when a contest, program was presented. Both societies seemed to be about equal in talent and originalityg thus some friendly competition resulted. Interesting and worth-while classes, consecrated and efficient instructors, prayer circles where God seemed especially near. inspiring chapel messages. happy associations with other young folks, cheerful chatter around the dining hall tables, thrilling moments ol ice skating-all these and many more are the precious memories that we shall have ol our six weeks' stay at E.lXI.S. And our heartfelt testimony will be The Lord hath done great things for us. whereol' we are glad. . i531 Athletic Association OFFICERS PRESIDEN1' ....,,..,. ....,,.,.,,,.,,i,A,it,,,-,- R 055 GOLDX.-U5 VICE PRESIDENT .,,,., ,,.,,, R OBERT KEENER SECRETARY ......... - ........ - .....

BY ANNA SAUDER The Athletic Association aims to provide physical activity for leisure time and to open the door to health and vigor for every student on the campus. Real- izing that muscular activity is necessary for growth and development, the asso- ciation frequently plans for some wholesome recreation so that our recruits will not become inadequate. One fundamental purpose of the association is to develop knowledge. Every physical activity has its rules and these must be learned before the participant can succeed. Attention, alertness and preparedness are demanded in competitive activities. The tennis tournaments which are open to every student are meeting the purpose in a number of ways. A second purpose is to develop physique. The body is a reservoir of energy. To make possible achievement the association provides many types of exercise to keep this store ol energy at a maximum. When the mind has been on the stretch, how one welcomes the announcement of a volleyball game between the Smithsonians and possibly Armerians. ln all the games of 1943-44 the college girls humbly handed the banners to the high-school teams. Another purpose is to keep our recreative aims high by getting the most pleasure out of the game. Ultimately the goal of life is certainly not pleasure, but if one enters into physical exercise with pleasure, he tones up his whole organism. One of the very attractive features of the year is the baseball game with the regular students opposing the Alumni. A fourth purpose ol the association is to teach the student co-operation with all kinds of people. Each one must learn the respective rules, and playing ac- cordingly one manifests a spirit of good will toward all. Playing with a view ol obeying the rules ol the game promotes honesty, reliability, and co-operation. In basketball the literary societies have opposed each other frequently, while each player was learning thc art. ol' co-operating with others. XVhether it be in tennis, in volleyball, in base- ball, in basketball, in Croquet, or ping-pong, the organization attempts to meet the purposes afore- named. Realizing that the student who is bubbling R over with health will likely be a spiritual asset on A our campus, the association plans, provides, and protects the equipment which makes possible our athletic program. Under the capable advisership of Brother Daniel Lehman and Sister Ava Rohrer, our recreation is carried on whereby students may have a clean bill of health.

These societies are student organizations. NfVe choose officials front among ourselves and meet weekly to give programs and receive valuable training that we do not receive in our regular classwork. Talents are discovered and exercised as we render musical numbers, readings, original stories, orations, conversational duets, and engage in debates and quizzes. Students become familiar with parliamentary law, literary, and musical artists, political and religious situations, and also many more fields of practical knowledge. Almost every phase of life is at one ti111e or another discussed on a program. We laugh and cry, think pleasurable and sober thoughts, form new ideas and opinions, and keep moving our ideals higher, striving to live life at its fullest and best. Impromptu programs train us to think quickly and sensibly on the spur of the moment and helpful criticisms from a member of the faculty show us our strong and weak points. To profit by the criticisms inevitably follows. Lively and wholesome competition is exercised between the societies as each strives to give the best programs. On the basketball floor and on the base- ball diamond this same spirit develops in the players good Christian sportsman- ship. There are four societiesg the College society is the Smithsoniang the High School and High School Bible juniors and Seniors belong to either the Philo- mathean or Armeriang and the Adelphian is composed of the High School Freshmen and Sophomores. Although they may be considered recreational by most of the students, yet the societies are live training grounds for experience in, and development of, ease and selfaconfidence in public speaking and clear, logical thinking in writing. lsfil w l'uu,oAlA'l'Hlf1,-xx CIr1N'l'r1k-.-XRMrikmx licn l'1m-.-Kwai.:-H ls? 1 Avian Society if BY MINA CLICK Anna, I wonder il you are enjoying this stroll as thoroughly as I am, ven- tured Ruth, a friend of Anna's who had recently returned lrom E.lXI.S. Ruth continued, just listen to that beautiful melody Hoating from the large pine Lree yonder. It's a wood thrush. His song always thrills me. That's probably because you studied birds. Tell me all about the .Mian Society, begged Anna. '4Well, when you go to E.M.S. as a high school senior or college student you are privileged to join the Avians. There were seventy-six ol us last. year. The monthly programs revealed to us the habits, homes, songs. and food ol the var- ious kinds of birds. Brother Hostetter, our eflicient leader, also showed us many slides which were very interesting and helpful, explained Ruth. Wasn't. it diflienlt to prepare subjects for the programs? Oh, no, there are many bird books in the library which give information. Our fees were used to buy books as well as slides and other necessary equipment. And they are saving a sum lor a bird sanctuary on the hill back ol' the school. XVere the hikes very beneficial? Yes, indeed, Brother Hostetter always shared his vast store ol bird knowl- edge with us as we followed him on an occasional Saturday trip to field and wood. With the aid of binoculars and bird guides, we had most prolitable studies. Some birds appeared proud to pose lor us while others bashlully llut- tered out of sight. What is the value of bird study? There are many blessings in such a study. Since God created birds for our inspiration, it gives us much satisfaction to know each one by name. I,il'e is more worth while when we take time to admire the beautiful about us. Best ol' all we are drawn closer to the Creator. Adoration and gratitude flow from our hearts to the heavenly Father for His great love and wisdom. I believe you, Ruth, I'll surely want to be an Avian at Ii.M.S. l 58 l Nature Soeiety BY .bXl,M.'X BRUNK Xve, tlte High School and High School Bible -luniors, have crossed Mother Nature's threshold attd have entered into a world ol' wonders. This is possible because ol' the existence of the Nature Society, organized lor the purpose ol' creating and fostering an interest in the great out of doors, a splendid recreation center lor the Christian. Over hill and dale we go, pausing as our spon- sor brings to our attention curious insects, animals, Hnuz llowers, trees, and rocks. We peep into nature's storehouse and behold 'l'ide Springs, the lime kilns, the ntountain peaks. tlte stream beds, river gaps, and at the 1011 ol Mole Hill, tlte volatile rock. Our observation also includes the liv- ing world ol trees and wildllowers. insects. birds. and mammals. Each tnonth we nteet to participate in programs tltat portray not only the interesting facts but also tlte beauties and curiosities ol' the connnon lile in na- tttre, sometimes ntade more vivid to tts by the aid ol' pictures. Arnong the pro- grams which linger in our ntemories may be mentioned .-Xn Evening in Al'rica : Foods Around the XVorltl : l rotn Pole to Pole : Christmas l.ore and Leg- ends g Products ol Asia g At the Zoo 3 The Seven Sleepers : XVith our Wild .Xnimals : An Evening with the 'l'rees : and XVinter Birds. For the liurther en-ioynient ol' our society and lor future societies. we have added to our collection many new liodacltromes. Many nature lovers. includ- ing students not in the society. spend pleasant hours among the group ol' books purchased by the society. 'l'hese books cover such subjects as insects. birds. wild animals. wild llowers, trees. and seashore lile. lhrouglt these activities which are ntade possible lor us by ottr capable sponsor, Brother D. Ralph llostetter. we have delved into the secrets ol' nature and discovered the marvels ol' the lirmaincnt which show the handiwork ol, God. l so l Astral Society BY MIRIAM BARGE I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars which thou hast ordained fPsalm 8: Once a month on Thursday evening the Astral Society of Eastern Mennon- ite School meets in the Stellaboratory to study the stars and to learn more about the grandeur of the universe, the wonderful handiwork of God. While here we have enjoyed a demonstration of the planetarium, the sun and moon and planets, their relative sizes and distances from each other. XVC also gained knowledge about the meteorite, its size, color, and material. We listened with interest to the many legends of the stars. We learned of Andromeda, the chained daughter of the king and queen, and we were happy that she was rescued by Perseus arriving on his fiying horse, Pegasus. On Tuesday evenings when the sky was clear. the sound of five bells was a welcome call to go out into the night to walk in star land or to climb to Vesper Heights Observatory, where we looked in awe through the telescope at the moon and her mountains, at Saturn and her rings, or other celestial objects. The star clusters, groups of five Astralites, strove hard to learn the most stars until Christmas, thus to win the contest and to gain the prize which was an ice- cream treat at Starrywood, the home of the Brackbills. The first two clusters learned over seven hundred seventy-five stars each and the reward was given to both groups for their outstanding work. To learn eighty-five stars until Christmas and thus reach the first magnitude was an achievement which few attained other years. This year interest ran so high that another magnitude was added, and nine Astralites became Super Novae. They each learned one hundred fifty stars. We believe every Astralite can say this year that the purpose of the Society has been fulfilled. We have become better acquainted with the wonderful works of the Creator, and we have found through them a better understanding and a greater appreciation of the God of the Universe. f50l Seriblerus Society BY GRACE XVENGER Playing with words is the greatest lun ol' all. Scriblerus Society is an in- lormal organization ol' students and teachers who delight in putting words to- gether. Once a month this group tneets in the Physics Laboratory to exchange ideas, share productions. and criticile each other's work. Throughout the month, the loyal members are busy collecting thoughts, experimenting with sentences. and playing with pen and ink to produce original compositions. At the meetings each member reads his contribution and profits by the criticism ol' the group. 'l'he society has hound itself by no regulations, no assignments, not even a constitution. What is the goal ol Scriblt-rus? Although no goal has been formulated, there is an understanding ol' purpose among the members of the group. To develop the ability ol' individual writers, to contribute worth-while material to school publications. and to produce for church papers writing that is of literary worthethese are aims ol' the group. Individual members feel that the society has been a help in developing their skill in writing. To have one's faults pointed out honestly and kindly, to become lamiliar with the style ol' others, to exchange principles of good writing, and to share thoughts, these have a wholesome etlect on the work of the amateur writer. Members ol' Scriblerus have been among the regular contributors to the Weather Vane and the journal. Our church papers, too, have published stories and poetry produced by members ol the society. Best of all, these young Writers feel that this is a worth-while recreation. lt. is refreshing to take time from a busy school life to fellowship with kindred spirits and to share the fresh and noble thoughts ol' others.

The farmer plans l1is work in accordance with the advice ol' the weather vane, and, if he is thinking of a vacation, he may proceed with arrange- ments for or postpone his fishing trip. li.M.S.. too, has its Ylfeather Vane. However, differing from the conven- tional addition to barn roofs, it is a four-page weekly campus paper indicating the direction of' student opinions and school life. Students await the distribution of the XVeather Vane almost. as eagerly as the mail. The E.M.S. family has become so large that we cannot keep up with all our brothers and sisters. So the N'Veather Vane informs us all about every- body else. Arnong the features that attract the most interest. is the column. Oswald, the Eavesdropperf' If you don't want your remark or your action to come to the knowledge of the rest of the family, you had better be certain that Oswald isn't near. Constructive criticism is one way by which a person can become aware ol' his faults and improve himself. NVe students therefore appreciate the column As fthers See Us. written by The Owl. One generally thinks that owls sleep during the day and are awake only at night, but this one is different! lt sees I'l t'l'YlllfIIg all flu' time! The llleather Vane owes its existence and development in at large way to Brother M. T. lirackbill's untiring efforts as its sponsor. He has seen it through depression and prosperity, and it has always come out on top! Brother Brack- bill's well-developed literary ability makes his Starrywoodnotes a further bit of pleasurable reading. ltisl Senior Journal Staff Elll'l'0R-IN-CHIEF - - - - RllSSEI.I, J.

What treasured memories those words recall! Surely those hours spent planning and talking together were not in vain. It was co-operation, group interest, patience, and humor that made the hours of work a pleasure, and it is with a bit of reluctance that this volume is sent to the printing plant because that means that our working together has reached the climax. Yes, it was a privi- lege to be on the SENIOR JOURNAI. Staff. This, the SENIOR JOURNAL of 1944, is planned lo be a worthy and true representative of the Eastern Mennonite School and to praise Him whose Word is truth. We, the SENIOR JOURNAL Staff, wish to express our sincere appreciation to lilva Newswanger, Miriam Shenk, and Paul Siemens for typing portions of this book. To Brother M. T. Brackbill goes the credit for the fine group pictures you have seen, as well as the printing of the informal snaps. His live Interest in good photography is admirable. To the efficient salesmen goes our gratitude for their splendid work of selling the SENIOR JOURNAI.. And, not least, our ap- preciation reaches you-the buyer of the SENIOR JOURNAL. The Lord has been our guide and helper in this work and to Him we give the honor. l'64l High School enior Class Oration For Christ BY LEWIS KRAUS This afternoon we stand before an open door. It is with deep emotion that we anticipate the step that will take us from our Alma Mater into a future of mist and darkness. Yet, with Christ, we gladly take this step. We have been shown more fully what Christfs life and shameful death means to us. As our visions have been enlarged, our indebtedness to Christ has become greater. We are keenly aware that after we have done all that is re- quired of faithful servants we are still unprohtable. Realizing this, we humbly accept our obligations not as a burden, but as a privilege. In addition to the portrayal of Christ's great love for the world, our eyes have been turned to those people, who weighed down with the burden of sin, blindly stumble on. Seeing the mountain districts where King Barley corn rules: the city slums where dirt, crime, and sin prevail, the Eskimo who knows nothing of Christg the teeming millions of China and India who fall on their faces to mute gods, the peoples of Africa groping on in heathen darkness, the peasants of South America blinded in superstition and Catholicism, we pray to the Lord of the harvest, that He will send forth laborers into His harvest. The harvest truly is plenteous but the laborers are few. In answer to our prayer, the call comes, to you and me, to go into the fields and labor for Christ. Great courage and strength are needed to undertake this project. The chal- lenge comes to us as to Israel, Be strong and of a good courage: bei not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. The men who built the Panama Canal were men the world called cour- ageous. Many men lost their lives in this great engineering feat. Yellow fever took many. Landslides covered men and mule teams. The employees would draw their pay every evening and spend it for fear that they would not live through the next day. If men of the world will risk their lives to accomplish a task of this kind, we as Christians should be much more willing to present our bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, and to devote all our energy to the furtherance of His Gospel. Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not CII Cor. 4:15. Since Christ in His great mercy has forgiven and cleansed us of our sins, He has given us a ministry and commands us to go into all the world and bear witness of His saving power. The message He has given us brings peace and joy to the hearts of men. His call is the open door to a life of great usefulness and benefit to mankind. Tomorrow as we step forward through the open doorway that leads to life, let us FOR CHRIST go forth BEARING Tm: TORCH or FAITH. ll55l College Senior Class Essay That I May Know Him BY El.l.liN KEENIQR Whether our lives are chaptered into more or less than threescore years, the entire book is a mere preface to our eternal volume. But it is the preface that is so important. For this reason Cod placed us on this earth to prepare for heaven-to learn to know Him. Carver, that humble benefactor who gleaned so many of life's secrets from the Creator during their fellowship, said, How are you going to get acquainted with the Master up there if you haven't got in touch with him down here? All mankind is given opportunities to know Him. Yes, even the groping heathen feel that instinct within them that reaches for some unknown supreme power: they worship nature as God. Like they we, too, crave for an acquaintance with a mighty being, but unlike they we see God behind the creation. He gloriously shows His personality through our tangible surroundings else some might never learn to know Him. As we arise each morning feeling our life tingling within us, we recognize the Sustainer. That we may know His omnipotence, He chariots the planets in their courses, ribbons heaven's canopy with an ever new sunrise, clads the hills with verdure, garnishes the vales with flowers and birds, pearls the Helds with dew, dots the meadows with cattle, and swells the world with beauty. However, to more fully reveal Himself, Cod created beings in His own image through whom we may know Christ. We cannot look into the faces of our saintly grandmothers without seeing that serene beauty which discloses their intimate acquaintance with Christ. He touches our lives with the lives of others to evidence His truths. A little child veiled in innocency teaches us lessons too deep for words. Perchance while we are giving a cup of cold water we see Christ in a more intimate way as He whispers, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren . . Even the vilest of sinners may draw us nearer to Christ as we feel the great compassion which prompted His supreme sacrifice. Surely while one of the lowliest of God's messengers seats us at the Master's feet, our united love burns more deeply. Our Lord's own pity is mani- fested as He leads that dirty urchin to our door or entreats us to care for an un- wanted vagrant. That we may know Him more fully by catching a glimpse of His eternal glory, He opens the gate of heaven to receive one of our dear ones. And as the gate closes He comforts us. All of these testings show that He values our friendship. As each night tucks the day behind the sunset we may say of the day's experiences, I have learned to know Him better. Nevertheless, our friendship is climaxed when we experience the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings. As a result we see purity cleansing sin's grime, radiance dispelling gloom. hope replacing despair, love overcoming hate, and this earth being exchanged for heaven. Our comradeship is deepened as His message to us is illuminated by the ultraviolet rays of the Spirit. As we lift o11r anchors, our contacts may be with those who have never met Christ. In order to give them a fair introduction we must be intimately as- sociated with Him. We go forth yearning to better know Him and the power which is in His resurrection, and to better share in His sufferings, to die even as He died that we might attain to the resurrection from the dead. l55l Shoe repalrmg of the better kmd Most Up to date Equlpment m Harrnsonburg Phone 86 R 45 E Market St M O SHOWALTER Wholesale Merchant FRUITS 8 VEGETABLES OF ALL KINDS Phone 870 Harrisonburg Va HEADQUARTERS LADIES BLACK SILK AND COTTON STOCKINGS The Bargam Place HARRISONBURG VA Comphments Dr DAVID F BLATT DENTIST Offxce 505 Fxrst Natlonal Bank Bmldmg Telephone 420 Harrisonburg, Virglma Famous Restaurant The place that satlsiies those who are fussy about therr food SPECIAL ATTENTION TO STUDENTS SCHEWEL'S FURNITURE SHENANDOAH VALLEY'S LARGEST FURNITURE STORE 135 S.
