The Shenandoah is an attempt to preserve to some extent a memory of these “high spots” for us to later refresh ourselves, as students, when we find ourselves in entirely dif- ferent situations of life, and to give to all who look into this book a picture of the school as it is. 141 2, Class advisers are important and worthy of recognition. During our years here at E.M.C. they have contributed much to the success of our classes. Their advice has been fatherly; their criticism, valuable; their ideas and suggestions, worth while; their enthusiasm, contagious; and their lives, an inspiration. We are now seniors, and as one means of expressing our sincere gratitude, we dedicate this SHENANDOAH to the adviser of the College Senior Class—J. Otis Yoder—and the adviser of the High School Senior Class—Harold D. Lehman. 15] M$ mift) John R. Mumaw, Acting President President’s Message “Be Strong in the Lord, and in the Power of His Might” Christian experience involves inevitable conflict. The powers you engage in this war- fare must be supernatural because you wrestle against demons of the highest rank, beings who assume a mysterious empire over human souls. You are in a warfare against invisible spirits vested with Satanic authority. You face the animosity of agents inspired with hatred from the lowest pit. You are pressing against wicked spirits who carry on their dark cam- paign within heavenly places. You face an invincible host bent upon human calamity. You are moving out into the front lines of this spiritual attack. We have through these years of your training sought to equip you with the kind of armor that will enable you to achieve victory in the conflict. We take this occasion to remind you again that your greatest source of strength lies “in the Lord.” Every opposition can be met triumphantly if you will keep in constant touch with those spiritual resources. Every hostility can be overcome “in the power of his might.” Being “in the Lord” qualifies you for the conflict. Being in right relationship with God constitutes the essential strength with which to overcome all opposition. There is power in His might and through the use of divine energy you will be triumphant in the conflict. 18] D. Ralph Hosteller, Acting Dean Dean’s Message Greetings to the Graduating Class of 1950. You have now reached a milestone in your life. Have you time to pause, meditate, and gaze backward through the four years? What have you accomplished? How have you accomplished it? Are you satisfied with your record? You have done well; you probably have done your best. Much depends upon whether you are taking the credit or giving Christ a place in your life. If the latter, today is a new day for you. Let us look ahead. Too many people arc satisfied to live in the past or to live where they are, but you will want to live in the future. Today you are more responsible than you were last year. The past four years were years of training, experience, and growth. Now you are facing a needy world; have you caught the spirit of the challenge? Surely there is an area in which you can serve! Have you accepted the call to service? Is it not Christ who works in and through you? Not what you accomplish but what Christ can accomplish through you is the earmark of Christian progress. That you may continue to grow in grace and wisdom, that the world may see Christ in you, and that you may be instrumental in leading souls to Him is my prayer. 191 ({fellinei tLe Can you imagine a school without teach- ers? Well, we can't! Here we have teachers fitted for their position—men and women, all in the center of God s will. No, teachers don't make the school, but they go a long ivay toward helping to make Eastern Mennonite College the place it is. [10] John R. Mumaw Christian Ed. and Practical Theology Daniel W.

The formal part of our education is in the classrooms under the di- rection of capable teachers. But classrooms are not limited to strict, stern pattern-set rides. How often have ire in some class —say German—gone completely off the subject at hand to one concerning basic theology. Yet,, nothing was lost, for one teas as profitable as the other. The classroom is the meeting place of student and teacher. In it the student gets some idea of the personality of the teacher, and likewise, the students'’ personalities are laid bare before the searching and knowing eyes of the teacher. Classrooms are enjoyable places—especially when one thinks of all the happy times spent there. |22| UNTO GOD UNTO COD, our Muster and our King, Our guide and daily aid, IIV come for wisdom and for strength To face our duties unafraid. UNTO COD, we yield our lives anew To serve Him where He leads, To honor Him in all we do— In all our thoughts, and words, and deeds. UNTO' COD, we give the highest praise That human lips can say, Though all the grateful hymns we raise Can never all His love repay. Lord, grant that as zee follow Thee Through paths though yet untrod, Our goal may clearer be—zee live, Not unto man, but UNTO COD. —Me run Itren neman. 1. to r.

The College Seniors It was with the anticipation of a mountain climber that we, the class of 1950, ap- proached Commencement Day. There was Christian fellowship along the trail provided by special meetings, school days out, socials, chapel talks, and our own class prayer meet- ings. Always this peak loomed large before us. It is that for which we had been straining every nerve. We have arrived. Have we attained the very highest pinnacle in the range of life? No, we are not deluded. We have received our diplomas, hut will not sit down and believe the job done—that there are no higher peaks to climb. To act thus would be a dishonor to our class, our Alma Mater, and our Lord. Graduation Day is no more than an observation point from which we view still loftier peaks whose tops are lost in the clouds. It is like a steppingstone to greater tasks. The trail behind us has hardened our muscles, sharpened our vision, whetted our desires, and trained us in the skill of climbing that we may be strong for the slopes ahead that lead us unto God. —LOWF.LL NISSLEY, President. |24| S eniori Th.B.

The College Juniors The class of ’51 is an unusual class our picture will tell you. To further illustrate this I shall point out some interesting facts about our class. About one fourth of us are former schoolteachers. Six of us are married. Four of the young ladies are registered nurses. Several of our men had C.P.S. experience. There is a Korean student, a pair of identical twins, a faculty member’s wife, and two brother-sister combinations. Most of us men are enrolled in an A.B., Th.B. course. Others are working for an A.B. in Bible or English. Still others are in the educational courses. Almost a third of the women are in the B.R.E. curriculum. Others are working for a B.S. in Nursing, Education, or Home Economics. Included in our number is one Premedical student Above all these courses and beyond the degrees, we are preparing for more effective service for our Master. You will be seeing more of us next year!

The College Sophomores Every year brings new experiences, and this year was no exception. We found that the sophomore year of college meant that we could ignore Freshman Days, College En- trance Tests and Orientation. But we also found that it meant new and increased respon- sibilities. It meant serving on Y.P.C.A. committees, leading Christian service groups, and various other campus activities. We were glad for the opportunity to become reacquaintcd in several class meetings held at the beginning of the year. Under the guidance of our class adviser, Bro. B. Charles Hostetter, we again organized as a class and were ready to start the school year together. Earning money for the new Women's Dorm, working on various committees, enjoy- ing class socials, and taking those tests peculiar to the college sophomores were a few of the many ways in which we developed class spirit. Then, too, there were the times of spiritual refreshing during the revivals held throughout the year. We feel that we have been benefited by our sophomore year here and hope we may be better able to serve Christ and the church because of these pleasant experiences. —WINONA STAUFFER and SUSAN HERR. 1341 FIRST ROW—Iva Swartzendruber, Eli Miller, J.

The College Freshmen In September seventy-five freshmen gathered on the campus of E.M.C., to begin various curricula. Nearly one half of the class have come from Pennsylvania, the others having come from seven other states in the Union and from Canada. We began a successful school year by choosing J. Mark Stauffer as our class adviser. We have appreciated the ready assistance he has given us. Our class organization resulted with the election of Harold F. Shearer as president, Robert Witmer as vice-president, Catherine Alger as secretary, Ruth B. Martin as treasurer, and Richard Burkholder as business manager. One of the high lights of the year which we shall not soon forget was the freshman social held on December 3. The evening was spent in playing the lively games planned and in heartily enjoying the tasty refreshments. We were conscious that while we were enjoy- ing the fellowship we also were bringing cheer to some needy families during the Christ- mas season. The following Sunday we delivered fifteen boxes of food to various homes in the community. Although this is only our beginning, we are looking forward to the future college years and can already picture ourselves in years to come reading our class letter to find that our fellow classmates are “girdling the globe with the Gospel.” —HAROLD F.

We have tried to tell of Jesus To the friends that we have made. IVe have studied from our textbooks, In our Bibles and our class, That Christ is in the whole creation; He can bring all things to pass. May we keep this shining picture Of a Saviour crucified, Who will ever in temptation, Be our guardian and aur guide. This old world in which we’re living Is so full of doubt and sin That He will come back and take us Who through Christ are born again. Do you think that many people In this Christian land of ours Shall receive the Saviour’s welcome Into heaven’s glorious bowers? No, my friends who are so hampered By this earth life and its loss; Not all who’ve named the name of Jesus Shall be ransomed through the cross. Now as E.M.C. we’re leaving And must go and stem the tide, Let’s hold our banner toward the sky That He might be glorified. —Ruth Emswiler.

The High School Seniors Have twelve years gone by since fifty-nine small, wide-eyed faces first peered into the door leading to the “big adventure”? Can so many changes have taken place in just a few years past a decade? Impossible it seems. From the carefree days of recess and lunch pails, from pigtails and licorice candy we’ve come into the dignified halls of higher learning. The big adventure is over. Regretfully and yet expectantly we leave it to face the biggest adventure of all—the adventure of life. We leave regretfully because the joys of many friendships arc cut short and because the happiness of sharing the school years together is gone. We leave expectantly because we are prepared for the future and because we are ready for the life ahead. Some will return for college. So, with our big adventure behind us we step out into the world or back into school again, ready to live “That He Might Be Glorified.” ROBERT DF.TWF.ILER, President.

J he High School Juniors It was a sunshiny day in the early part of September when the members new and old of the High School Junior Class of Eastern Mennonite College began to arrive for a new year of school. This year of school represented unopened gates, untraversed pathways, new goals to be attained, new friendships to be formed, Christian entertainment, and new opportunities. As the dust of organization began to settle, the Juniors were soon ready, through the friendly, efficient guidance of our sponsor, Brother Earl Maust, to move forward as an organized class. With eager hearts and willing minds we opened the gates of learning and started down the unknown pathways. Under the capable leadership of our teachers we were helped over the harder places of life into a dawning of new knowledge and understanding. It was not all studying, however. The Juniors will not soon forget the enjoyable eve- nings they spent in socials at Brother Maust’s home and in the Assembly Room. When the year ends we will look back over the paths we have taken and the friend- ships we have made. Then, doubtless, we will be standing on a new and more challenging horizon. New goals will be opening into the future. With faith in our Maker, Jesus Christ, we shall clasp our hands in His and go on. [47] —GLENN STOLTZFUS.

The High School Soph omores You, as students of E.M.C., may not have previously known who belongs to the great High School Class of ’52. So just take a look at the twenty-three brilliant faces in the picture above. There are many hidden talents in our class. The experiences of the past two years have taught us many profitable things. As this school year draws to a close and we have to say good-by to our classmates, we hope that all will come hack again and bring along others to join next year. The soph- omores will never forget the wonderful times we had together at socials, games, and in class. As we look forward to two more years and see the great opportunities which lie in our paths, our prayer is that God may grant us the wisdom and strength to make full use of them. Our desire is that through our work here at school we may be of service to Him. SAMUEL WEAVER, President. |481 SEATED—Charles Heatwole, Charles Shank, Nelson Swope, Milton Heatwole, Carl Shenk.

Eight of them live in the dormitory, and sixteen are day students. Twelve of the freshmen are boys and twelve are girls. They come from seven different states. There are fifteen from Virginia, three from Maryland, two from Michigan, and one each from New York, Missouri, Idaho, and Pennsylvania. A week or so after the beginning of school Brother Henry Weaver was elected class adviser. In a meeting called by Brother Weaver we elected the president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, and business manager. The regular freshman schedule consists of Bible Characters, English I, General Mathe- matics, Music A, and one elective. The electives are General Science, Art I, Home Eco- nomics, and Industrial Arts. [49| —MILTON HEATWOLE.

The Young People’s Christian Association “For to me to live is Christ” (Phil. 1:21). For the Y.P.C.A. to be alive is to make Christ known in the world—to present Him as the only remedy for the ills and despair of a sinful humanity. For the Y.P.C.A. to be alive requires a consecrated youth who are willing to say, “For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” It is this passion that has characterized the successful ventures of the Young People’s Christian Association of Eastern Mennonite College. Young people were willing to deny themselves of even the legitimate pleasures of life to make Christ alive to needy individ- uals. They were willing to give of precious time and talents to spread the Gospel from Michigan to Florida, from Pennsylvania to Arkansas. Patiently and painstakingly they displayed the love of Christ to hardened sinners behind bars and in chains. Lovingly and tenderly they soothed the wounds of those on beds of affliction. Earnestly and zealously they guided youth into useful service for the Master. Courageously and fearlessly they faced audiences on streets and in pews to make Christ live in the hearts of men. The seed has been sown in the lives of many. The harvest has yielded abundant fruits. But there is yet much to be done; many hearts are dead in sin, and in need of a living Saviour. May this continue to be the passion of the Y.P.C.A. as it reaches out into the great harvest field of God. [55] S. ALLEN SHIRK, President.

The Religious Life Commission The Religious Life Commission endeavors to aid students in their spiritual growth. It is our purpose to present a program that stimulates conviction, challenges missionary- minded youth, and promotes spirituality. The Commission’s program is an all-student function guided by a faculty advisory committee. The commission sponsors four programs during the week. The Friday Morn- ing Devotion program emphasizes the devotional aspects of the Christian life. The Sunday morning Mission Prayer Meeting is a period set aside for intercessory prayer and for acquainting the students with the missionary needs and work of the church. The Sunday evening Intermediate Senior Bible Meeting is designed to instruct the high-school students in the great doctrines of the Bible and to enjoy Christian fellowship. The Young People’s Bible Meeting of the College department also aims to establish con- viction in carrying out the principles of truth taught in the great doctrines of Christ. We need your prayer support in carrying out our objectives. WILLIS C.

The Student Fellowship Commission The school year at E.M.C. starts with a “Get-Acquainted Social.” After a short pro- gram, several games are played for the purpose of meeting and learning to know new friends. This spirit continues throughout the year as taffy-pulls, Thanksgiving and Christmas socials, hay wagon rides, open house, and peak climbs mark the calendar. Some of these may be formal affairs, others may be rough and tumble; some may involve games of mental skill, others may call for physical activity. But all are a means of recreation, of fellowship, and diversion from the routine of school life. Each event concludes with a devotional or prayer period and thus, too, serves as a spiritual refresher. At E.M.C., too, there are committees on hand to welcome and entertain new students and visitors to the campus. A Good Cheer Committee remembers with cards or gifts students who are ill. All of these are planned by the Student Fellowship Commission. Our aim, as our name suggests, is to promote good will and Christian fellowship among the student body, and to provide periods of recreation that better Ht us for school life and service for the Master.

The Rural Evangelism Commission The Rural Evangelism Commission is carrying on evangelistic endeavors outside of the city of Harrisonburg and within a radius of thirty miles from the College. The Com- mission is composed of four committees. The Timberville Workers’ Committee acts conjointly with the Zion congregation to witness to folks living at the Timberville trailer camp. Cottage meetings, Way distri- bution, and taking children to Sunday school at the Zion Church make up the large part of this work. The Elkton Workers’ Committee shares in the responsibility of operating the Elkton Sunday School which started three years ago as an outgrowth of street meetings. Harold H. Lahman is now pastor of the mission, which has an average attendance of about fifty. The Rural Cottage Meeting Committee conducts informal meetings in the outlying areas where folks are not able to get to any worship services. Most of the visitation work is done on Sunday afternoons. The Sunday School Committee is responsible for supplying students for Sunday school and other work as requested by the Mennonite churches in the rural communities. This committee has also been active this year in carrying on a canvass near McGaheysville, with hopes of establishing a more permanent work in this community. —EUGENE SOUDER, Commissioner.

We meet the rich and poor, Christian and non-Christian, honest seekers and skeptics, the neglected, sick, and dis- couraged. Even though we meet people who are varied in their life and conduct, we are continuously reassured that we have the answer to each problem, namely, Christ. We seek to hear the Gospel message in collaboration with the three missions of Har- risonburg, through the avenues of street meetings, cottage meetings, personal evangelism, Sunday-school teaching, social service work, and in singing for the hospitalized. We feel grateful to God for the privileges we were given this past year in the gather- ing of souls into His kingdom. —WILLARD MAYER, Commissioner.

The Institutional Work Commission The Gospel of Jesus Christ must go out to all people regardless of their position or situation in life. Christ said, “Go . . . and preach the gospel to every creature.” Our Lord by His life exemplified this in casting out demons, healing the sick, preaching to the poor, and preaching deliverance to the captives. The Institutional Commission has the task of reaching the institutions in the vicinity of Harrisonburg. Four committees: the Children’s Home, the Convalescent Home, the Almshouse, and the Prison Committees, carry on this work. The Harrisonburg Children’s Home is visited each Sunday afternoon by a high- school group. Songs are sung and Bible stories are told to the children. At the Convalescent Home we have an opportunity each Sunday to spread some cheer to those whose days seem so long. Many service opportunities arc provided by the work at the County Almshouse. These poor aged folks appreciate our services, for they seldom hear the Gospel. Each Sunday afternoon and Wednesday evening, services are held in the Harrisonburg City Jail. This committee also works with the two prison labor camps located near Edom and Mt. Jackson. Many have confessed Christ at these places. —NORMAN HOCKMAN, Commissioner. 1641 r k lave clone it unto Convalescent Home Prison Children’s Home Almshouse 11 me.

The Extension Commission “Ye shall be witnesses of me . . . unto the uttermost part of the earth.” The Exten- sion Commission is that part of our Y.P.C.A. which reaches “into the regions beyond” our school or community circle. Gospel teams, billboards, literature, letters to churches and missionaries, work in which one cannot see immediate results, yet which is no less important, are means of carrying this witness. In the past year Gospel teams were sent to various mission congregations in thirteen of the eastern states stretching from Michigan to Florida. Gospel signs along highways and in public utilities remind an innumerable multitude about their obligation to God. Literature (Bibles, Testaments, tracts) for the whole Y.P.C.A. is chosen and ordered by a committee in this commission. The Way distribution is a monthly work in charge of the same committee. News from mission stations and missionaries is brought to the attention of the students. A weekly prayer meeting is conducted in the interest of Jewish evangelism. Several Gospel teams were sent out in the interest of the Jew. Summer Bible school teachers are chosen and sent out by a committee in this commission. There is yet much to be done. We need to witness for Him “unto the uttermost part of the earth.” —MAYNARD YODER, Commissioner. I66J 4ml teach ail nations. V — m tfrw ere «agi wf?

If we do not perform direct service our- selves, we help to make it possible for others to do so. This commission has five com- mittees. They are the College Membership, Music, Employment, Property, and High School Membership committees. It is the work of the Membership committees to solicit and receive students as mem- bers into our Y.P.C.A. They also have the task of doing personal work among the student body. The Music Committee promotes the organization of quartets and other singing groups for Christian service. The Employment Committee seeks to find employment for students desiring it. The care of the property owned or rented by the Y.P.C.A. is the duty of the four-member Property Committee. They keep accurate mileage record of the Y.P.C.A. Chrysler and the Ford station wagon as well as of the Faculty Extension Committee’s Pontiac, which is used by the Y.P.C.A. We seek to facilitate the work of the Association and aim to lead all students into an active participation. —ROBERT KEENER, Commissioner. 168] unto f f f f BESSSIiS ft I i%%■%%% MEMBERSHIP CARJ YOrNG PKOPl.K'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF EASTERN MKNNOMTi: COU.KGK n.is i, i� ti� .i clyd s ha� ampin I as a ihimhImi � f tin F.tsl� ro Mtiiiwmitr (Uillegr V � UI� H IVu| h Jirnli.ui wm i.«li.«� � ami is vn I•Clc’ l lu rcljiii this mfuttH-rvliip as l« mi lu sh� � up lit� |«|s till Maiulanis of lliis uraaniiTJitiim Membership Employment Property Music [69] FIRST ROW—Esther Peachey, Ruth Hallman, Irene Weber, Rhoda Stauffer, Ruth Stauffer, Erma Martin, Sara Gcn-ber.

For eleven years the gales of winter and the calms of summer have failed to halt the progress of this little vessel carrying cargoes of good times, sage advice, and frank opinions. Various captains and their mates have piloted this breezy ncwssheet. Back of it all has been Bro. M. T.

The Journal In many ways the Journal is a unique publication. It was the first student publication and is now in its twenty-seventh year. But it has more than seniority to recommend it. It is a con- nective link which unites former students and alumni with the college. Not only does it keep the alumni acquainted with stu- dent activities, but it also seeks to capture student interest. Its purpose is to represent school activities and student thought. It gives opportunity for creative writing. Above all its chief aim is to reflect the spirit of Eastern Mennonite College. We of the Journal staff hope it has in some measure succeeded in doing so. —Anna Frey, Editor.

The Shenandoah Included in the objectives of Eastern Mennonite College is the aim to lead the “students to a genuine Christian experience, to a greater appreciation of Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord, and to a life guided by the Holy Spirit. It shall seek to . . . promote the spirit of evangelism for a universal witness for Jesus Christ.” This statement expresses in part the spiritual atmosphere and active Christian service which is afforded by the Young People’s Christian Association of the school. Because this organization is the pulse of the Christian activity at Eastern Mennonite Col- lege, it has been given the largest section in The Shenandoah. It shows in a sweeping view the functioning of a well-planned and efficient organization of mass Christian service. But The Shenandoah has also attempted to picture the other areas of school life, and so there is found in this book the life of the school in every phase. A product of the work of many people, The Shenandoah is an index to the days of the ’49-’50 school year, the journalistic account of a year spent at E.M.C. —H. [76] Margaret Risser, Paul Yake, Harold Lehman, Virgil Yoder, Margaret Martin, Bradley Otto. The Athletic Association Exercise and recreation are essential in the life of a happy and successful student. The Athletic Association provides opportunities for every student to participate in a wide variety of sports and recreational activities. Athletic competition, team work, and group loyalties are experienced in basketball, baseball, softball, and other team sports which are organized among various student groups. Tennis, ping-pong, and a variety of recreational activities provide that necessary diversion from hooks and class assignments. As in other activities at E.M.C., so in sports a thoroughly Christian emphasis is the goal. Christian sportsmanship, health, and noble character are standards. Our recreational program has meant higher ideals, healthier bodies, keener intellects, holy temples better fitted for God’s purpose. 1781 —HAROLD D. LEHMAN.

We are made to realize that our love for the Lord Jesus Christ must be first, and our training and experiences are only tools for the Spirit to use in winning souls. Our Fall Revival was preceded by hours of prayer and days of anticipation. In October we were blessed abundantly as Brother Nelson Kauffman of Hannibal, Missouri, allowed the Lord to use him to lead many students to salvation in Christ, a greater love for the Lord Jesus, and a deeper consecration. NELSON KAUFFMAN Fall Evangelist As we came to the Midwinter Revival we were again awed by the mighty working of the Spirit in response to prayer. Once again the Lord showed us what He will do when His children humble themselves and pray. Brother John Lapp of Lansdale, Pennsylvania, was used of the Lord to present the Word, which the Spirit used to pry open rusted and corroded doors in many hearts. Many students confessed sin that was hindering their spirit- ual growth, and consecrated their lives anew to the Lord Jesus Christ. Myron Augsburger.

Mixed Chorus “Music sweeps away from the soul the dust of everyday life.” As sixty-nine united hearts and voices overflowed in chords of harmonious praise to God, who created us to be in harmony with Him, the cares of everyday life vanished. Melodies rose true and clear, carrying a message to the hidden depth of the soul, giving hope to discouraged hearts and strength for life’s duties to Christians. Our conductor, Bro. Mark Stauffer, stressed a warm Christian experience in the life of each chorus member as a prerequisite for heart-reaching renditions of our programs. His unwearying efforts, ready smile, and deep appreciation of good music spurred us on as we practiced diligently week after week. There never seemed to be a morning cloudy enough to dull his spirits. And what chorus wouldn’t reflect their director’s radiant expression? An extra feature of the ’49-’50 chorus was the preparation and rendition of a modern cantata, “The Peaceable Kingdom,” which added spice to the year’s repertoire. Truly we felt the message of Isaiah’s prophetic words as we sang them in joyous harmony: “Ye shall have a song . . . and gladness of heart.” [84] —ROMA JACOBS.

Junior Chorus “O sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord all the earth.” Upon passing by the Chapel any Tuesday or Wednesday morning before lunch, you would likely hear sixty or more voices raised in song, unless our instructor, Bro. Earl Maust, was giving us a friendly lecture that he had been wanting to give for several weeks. We have either been singing too softly, too loudly, talking, or not watching the director. So you see, it does good because we all must listen to see which of the four it is this time. We all consider it quite a privilege to be under the direction of Bro. Maust, who attended the Christiansen Choral School last summer. He seems very able at making us hold endings for five minutes or until every one of us is out of breath. Together with “David the Shepherd Boy” we have been practicing several spirituals among which are “Children Don’t Get Weary” and “Ride the Chariot.” All in all we have thus far spent a profitable year in Junior Chorus. We pray that our singing may always be to the honor and glory of God. [85] —CAROL JOHNSON. With periodi ojpractice . . .

Men’s Chorus “Come, Thou Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit, Come. Descend upon us, we pray.” As these words welled forth from the chapel in vibrant chords week after week, thirty-seven masculine hearts were inspired to a closer walk with God. For there is no experience which can mean quite as much in its own way to a young man as the blending of his voice in praise to God with members of his own sex. We felt the rich blessing of the Lord as we sang of and to Him. His presence gave to our practice periods more than the thrill of mastering difficult and beautiful passages. It gave a deep meaning to each song. All of us came to appreciate our leader, Bro. Earl Maust, as he labored patiently and' diligently to mold a “men’s chorus” out of a group of adolescent boys. His consecration to this task contributed immeasurably to the welfare of the chorus. The beautiful chords of the songs we learned together will linger long in our hearts as we continue to “Sweetest praises sing To our Heavenly King.” [861 —JOHN RUTH. once 6eeme FIRST ROW—Dorothy Landes, Mary Shirk, Ruth Emswiler, Ruth Byler, Laura King, J.

Ladies’ Chorus “Good evening, ladies.” Bro. Mark Stauffer was addressing his chorus and conse- quently the buzzing ceased. Although it was usually necessary that he postpone his dessert on Tuesday evening and get up at an unearthly hour to meet with us Friday morning, he was always kind about it. Some folks have the false opinion that ladies’ music is inferior to men’s. I call it false because Bro. Mark has convinced me that it is not inferior. Naturally, the singing of the finer voices will produce a very different effect from that of a male chorus. However, each must be appreciated for its own sake. Music is such an inspiring thing. It is one of our best means of worship. How we should appreciate the privilege of blending our voices with those in the group, and of bringing acceptable praise to our God. I do believe that it is acceptable; I believe that our Father is pleased when all the members of the Ladies’ Chorus of Eastern Mennonite College lift their voices and their hearts in praise to Him. —KATHERINE HERTZLER. f87| Vk ie programs for cu (t, are FIRST ROW—Daniel Suter (Sponsor), Ralph Weaver, Ruth B.

The Smithsonians Literary? Why? What is the purpose of a literary society? On a Friday evening after an exhausting week of classes, one is refreshed in attending the monthly Smithsonian Literary Society program. There one may be soothed by a program of music, challenged by debate and discussion, or moved by the presentation of a story. Opportunities are given for the development of the literary talent of our members. Who are the Smithsonians? Naturally they are the students who wisely joined the Smithsonian Literary Society. Let us look at some underlying characteristics of a typical Smithsonian. He is talented, original, friendly, straightforward, and devoted to his tasks. Smithsonians include many of the finest and best students at E.M.C.—students whose goals are onward, upward, and forward. The quest for the more abundant life is revealed in our motto, “Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian Spring.” —BERNARD SHOWALTER. 188 J Yjeiv treasures to k tear, FIRST ROW—Paul Gingrich, Ada Layman, Anna Stover, Ruth Gingrich, Viola Dorsch, Helen Frey, Paul Swarr, Arlene Peiier, Richard Burkholder, Daniel Krady, Stanley Souder, Elizabeth Shank, Rhoda Peachey.

The Zelatheans In attempting to interpret the spirit of the Zelathean Literary Society, perhaps the most conclusive observation that one can make is this: “Zelatheans are born, not made.” Yes, the personnel comprising this noble group are unique individuals. Since infancy, their inherent traits and characteristics have destined them for the future service in this organization. Occasionally, prospective candidates for literary membership are not aware of these facts, and make hasty decisions. Failure in proper self-analysis has produced a situation in which “born” Zelatheans are unhappy, frustrated Smithsonians and vice versa. The purpose in this paragraph, then, is to acquaint the reader with this distinct Zelathean personality, and thus to avoid such misfits in the future. The composite Zelathean is, first and foremost, a devoted servant of the Master. His is not a passive existence; he makes a positive contribution to every phase of campus activity. His originality, progressiveness, enterprise, wisdom, and congeniality mark him unmistakably as one whose motto was first voiced by the indomitable spirit of Tennyson’s Ulysses—“To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.” —RICHARD BURKHOLDER.

The Philomatheans One of the many methods of relaxation in our school life is the literary with all of its fun and frolic. We meet every two weeks. This is the time the thought of school leaves us and we get into the right swing for the week end. The motto of the Philomathean Literary .Society is “Training for Service.” This is the chief aim of the society in its programs and in its games and socials. Our programs can be anything from the excitement of an impromptu to a subject of interest to all. Nary a dull moment is there! Besides programs, the literary sponsors baseball and basketball games with other literaries. Good competition is had with the Armerians. During the year we have been thankful for our sponsor, Miss Edna Shantz. She has been giving us advice and moral support throughout the whole year. In the years to come we will all remember those Friday evenings full of fun in Room A. —JOHN A.

During the year we had many interesting programs in which we strove to develop well-balanced characters and to give the members practice in speaking effectively in public. We also learned the use of parliamentary law and an appreciation for good music. Some interesting programs of the year were, “Our President and Presidents,” “Life and Wonders of the Past,” and an evening which was profitably spent in listening to recordings from the “Don Cossacks,” “Wings over Jordan,” and others. Another very inter- esting program was Bro. H. D. Weaver’s taking us back to “Courtship Life” thirty years ago. After an enjoyable program we often would refresh our minds further by watching a good exciting basketball game in which we would strive to build up better sportsman- ship and become better players. Our aim is not only for a good time, but to build a good foundation for life, as our motto says, “Not for school, but for life we learn.” -—DOROTHY AMSTUTZ. [91] dJhat Spotted the year.

The Adelphians We, the members of the Adelphian Literary Society, have had many opportunities to use our talents this year. One evening we were all able to take part in the program in which we had a general information quiz in charge of our sponsor, Bro. Samuel Horst. We also had a panto- mime contest in which we, in groups of five or six, represented certain Biblical happenings and proverbs. This was something different. Yet it tested our knowledge in certain points. We have enjoyed many fine programs this past year, and we hope that the future Adelphians will be true to our motto: “We Learn to Serve.” 192] —MARY BEYELER. Jhe stars and tLt e platf orms, The Astral Society The Debating Society Ad Astra! This has been a great year. Besides being the middle of the century, it has been the twentieth year for the Astial Society. Star contests, visits to the observatory, telescopic scenes, planetarium evenings, interesting programs of inspiration and information, milky ways and anniver- sary cakes are but a few more of the enjoyables which made our year in the Astral Society a real pleasure and gave us a deeper appreciation of the heavens, The more we become acquainted with the heavens the more we are made to appreciate and adore our Father. —Margaret Yoder and Mildred Heacock. The members of the Debating So- ciety have had a unique experience this year. Instead of using the questions that are suggested by a national debat- ing society' we formed our own ques- tion. The question that we used was of such a nature that there was exposed to us the workings of the Mennonite Church as well as many of its leaders. The question: “Resolved, That all dis- trict conferences eligible for member- ship in the Mennonite General Confer- ence be federated into a central legisla- tive conference body.” We were grate- ful for the opportunity to see the confer- ence plan as it operates today and to discuss this plan with many of the lead- ers of the organization. —Miller Stayrook. [93] The Men’s Touring Chorus oL en an d Sana, . . . “It’s all over all over again.” But it certainly was full of worth-while ex- periences while it lasted. We remember the thrill of heralding the joyous Christmas message to the folks on the second deck lounge of the Cape Charles Ferry on Chesapeake Bay. Nor can any of us forget the ease with which four cars may be separated in the maze of metropolitan four-leaf clovers. But truly, most unforgettable to us was the spiritual refreshment oth- ers and we mutually experienced through the exaltation of our Saviour. —Paul Swarr. The hours of practice, rehearsing and singing, ironing out all discordant notes, are some of the factors that make this chorus different. Laughing, sing- ing, and praying together helped us all to learn to know each other better. Words of appreciation and interest in this chorus arc difficult to express. It is an ever-present challenge to search our lives with the words we sing, to claim them more dearly as blessed promises for our own lives, and to let our lives be molded for His service. —Ruth Eberly. The Mixed Touring Chorus 194 j meeting canony . . . The Theosebian Fellowship Even though life at E.M.C. moves at an accelerated pace and time seems like something you need but don’t have, whenever we have attended the meet- ings of the Theosebian Bible Fellow- ship we have found the discussions worth while. The Theosebian Fellow- ship is dedicated to the problem of interpreting and applying Christianity to our lives and to the issues of the day. With the aid of a competent theologian such as our sponsor, Bro. George R. Brunk, we are able to think more clear- ly on such subjects. Especially timely was Brother J. L. Stauffer’s talk on the subject of divine healing. —Daniel Hertzler. The Deovenarian Fellowship is a group of college freshmen and sopho- mores who meet once a month to enjoy devotional periods of Bible reading and prayer, to discuss problems we meet in our Christian life, and to hear explained the organization and workings of the Mennonite Church. As our spiritual lives are strength- ened through fellowship with other Christians, we are fulfilling the objec- tive of the Deovenarian Fellowship. —Betty Keener. The Deovenarian Fellowship [951 Ok ie ones wi th tile interests . . . Relaxation! Restoration! Fun! That partially describes the College Hikers. It is composed of the college fellows and faculty members who have time or take time for relaxation in this way. This is the group of fellows who twice or three times a school year take time out, forget studies for a while, and head for the mountains for hiking and sleeping out under the stars (if it isn’t raining). This is the time when all formality vanishes and Christian fel- lowship among the fellows in God's great out-of-doors is at its peak. These are the times when we eat beans and soup with cinders in them without com- plaint. It is the greatest thing in the world for revitalizing a book-weary college man or faculty member. Don’t miss it if you come to E.M.C. for col- lege. —David Kauffman. “Tests, term papers, assignments, and outside reading. I’m tired of studying.” This general opinion sets the Chief Lassie and her assistant to thinking. Tiring of Sparkling Springs, we chose Linden Wenger’s farm, in West Vir- ginia, as our destination. With relaxed minds we completely ignored all thoughts of lessons. A mountain climb, campfire tales, a short night in the haymow, a ride on the truck in the rain are experiences never to be forgotten by each High- lander. Although physically tired, we return mentally refreshed for the tasks lying ahead of us. —Jean Metz. The College Hikers The College Highlanders |96] The Mennonite Historical Fellowship “Why study history? That's past.” Perhaps it is, but history makes the present more meaningful and sheds light on the future. As Mennonite youth we have a unique heritage, but there is value in this heritage only if it is perpetuated in this generation and in the generations that will follow. In the Mennonite Historical Fellow- ship we are challenged by the lives of our forefathers and gain a new appre- ciation for the doctrines by which they have lived and for which they have died. —Laban Peachey. A bell every fourth Thursday of the month calls the members of the Scrib- lerus Society to the Art Building. After the members have received a copy of each contribution, a reader is selected for the evening. The other evening when everyone was busy eating large, shiny apples and crisp, thin pretzel sticks, I glanced around the table and saw a few notes scribbled over some articles. “How beautiful,” wrote one, while his neigh- bor scrawled, “What a vivid descrip- tion.” But I heard the tiny blond girl murmur to herself, “What profound language!” To guess who wrote what is the goal of our closing game. —Rhoda Good. [97] Scriblerus rofeMion an cl L oncjiie. In monthly meetings of the Pre- medical Society, the fourteen members arc led to a deeper appreciation of the principles, practices, and ideals of the Great Physician. We there become ac- quainted with Medical School entrance requirements, ethical and spiritual prob- lems to be encountered during future medical training, and with latest devel- opments in the medical world. These objectives are realized as we listen to lectures by local and mission- ary doctors, fellow students’ talks, or panel discussions. This, plus the alert and stimulating direction of Brother Daniel Suter, sponsor, equals a very worth-while society. -—Ruth Peachey. From the various Spanish classes of E.M.C. this year “La Sociedad Es- panola” (The Spanish Society) was formed, with John Litwiller, the son of Argentine missionaries, as faculty spon- sor. Features of “La Sociedad” are sketches and pictures of Spanish-speak- ing countries, use of the Spanish lan- guage in conducting of society business, and the singing of Spanish songs. Be- sides increased proficiency in the use of the language, there should also be in- creased interest in Spanish-American missions. —Harry Hertzler.
