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! ROBERT G. KEENER, President. 133]

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
