Eastern Mennonite School - Shenandoah Yearbook (Harrisonburg, VA)

Text from Pages 1 - 156 of the 1956 volume:

� To EMC’s Personification of History. Who for thirty years has enthusiastically expounded the romance of history. Supplementing our studies with homespun humor. Charming his classes with unique expressions. Enriching our education by giving himself. Who has memorably introduced our featured lecturers and brought tears and laughter to us as an after-dinner speaker. To a man who has endeared himself to the EMC family— To Harry A. Brunk we respectfully dedicate this volume of the life we lived and loved at EMC. ° Amid the purple mountains of Virginia There is a spot that e’er will dearer grow, A place where youthful dreams and hopes are cherished. And wisdom’s light perpetually does glow. There in the Valley of the Shenandoah Fond mem’ry tells of happy days gone by. Of friendships form’d whose fragrance still will linger To bless our lives where’er our paths may lie.

M. C.? I thought E. M. C. was a college.” “It most certainly is, but there is a high school department incorporated into the school’s program.” “It must be strange to be surrounded by college students and the college atmos- phere. Don’t you feel inferior and rather left out of things?” “No, we don’t mind that at all. We feel as though we belong to the entire school program. Let me tell you about it.” “On September 5, E. M. C. was the focal point of many map routes for young folks from all parts of our Eastern States. School life had begun! “That we had come to school to study was impressed upon us as we began to register. What an enjoyable time that was! The day-student members of our student body arrived on campus that morning, and we learned to know them. The air was crackling with excitement and good times as we met old friends and made new ones. “Regular classes began and we rapidly got into the swing of things. That doesn’t mean it began to get monotonous. We learned to know our teachers. Let me tell you about them. High School students at E.M.C. have the privilege of having a few' college instructors. This is certainly one advantage of being on a college campus. The year progressed, and we learned to know our teachers personally. Often we stayed after class to talk to them just for fun. “Our life at E.M.C. was full of pleasant experiences. In the dining hall we met new people. We rubbed elbows, literally, with everyone. Sometimes one discovered that the person beside him had come 3,000 miles to be at this table. “The informal student gatherings were a valuable experience. The “bull sessions” or “hen parties” gave us a genuine feeling of comradeship. “Our studies were also an important part of our school life. How' w'e labored over some courses, and enjoyed it! This made it interesting w'hen grade reports came out. All these rich experiences to- gether made a very good high school spirit on our campus.” Kenneth Seitz, Jr. There were days during our High School “daze” when w'e lived for the 4:00 bell. We are the people who live on the third floors It’s this corner of the “world” for high school junior and senior day students who study. 17 Front Row: John Mark Wyse, Edwin Miller.

June 4th, 1956, a great day in our lives —graduation day. The day we shall part, probably never to be assembled as a body again. Who knows where our paths may lead? Factory, forest, pulpit, mission— we know not what may lie before us. We can only look to God, who has led us through our years of school, to lead us for the remaining days of our lives. But let us stop for a moment and look at the present —not the future. It was the first social, the first class meeting, the first class. It was new faces, new teachers and new classes, but our last year in high school. We made friends with people from Pennsylvania, Virginia, New York, Ohio, and many other states. We received new things from them—fresh ideas, fresh thoughts, fresh impressions. Yes! We needed every one to make our class complete. The personality of the class of ’56 is not a set of marks at the regis- trar’s office, not some athletic records, not even the nights in the social room. But it is the characteristics of all of us that make up the High School Senior Class. Macbeth, court sessions, monotheists. and many other new things were intro- duced to us this year. We’ll remember the trip to Washington with the stay in the hotel, Phillie-Armerian games, and gradu- ation. In “hen parties” and “bull sessions,” many were the subjects discussed—all the way from school to how many days until vacation, and the best type of music. Meals in the dining hall, Saturday night soup, walks to the College Shoppe, trips to town —all of these will live long in our memo- ries. We would like to thank those of you who have done so much for us. First, thanks to the teachers for their patient guidance. I know at times it looked as though we weren’t learning a thing, but a few things did sink in. We also want to thank our deans for being understanding in the moments we ran around the hall or made unearthly rackets. We wish to thank our parents for making it possible for us to come here. In closing, we are humbled to think of all that you have done for us. Thanks! 24 —Donald Taylor H ?

Sounds quite stiff though, doesn’t it? The word “faculty” could ap- ply to almost any group of hard-hearted professors whom one finds in the schools and universities of America. But to us there is a different connotation. These are not the hard-pressed and dried up souls, but rather the young-hearted, under- standing and helpful teachers we will al- ways remember. These are not the salary- seeking scholars, but masters who are will- ing to make many sacrifices in our behalf. These are they who laughed and lived as fellow students with many of our parents. They have not yet lost their youthful dreams even though grey locks would seem to tell a different story. These are they who have dedicated their lives to be used as holy sacrifices. We will never fully realize the influence they have exerted on the youth of our church. Their influence shall continually be passed on in some form from generation to generation. The regular as well as off-schedule hours which they spent in preparation and teach- ing will be multiplied into innumerable dividends. They are the ones who teach us continually to take the road less travel- ed by (“for few there be that find it”) and in the end they will be responsible and worthy of reward for making all the differ- ence. —Roland Yoder In a faculty meeting the “parents” discuss problems and take action.

THE ADMINISTRATION....board meetings ... Who are these who first greet the new students when they arrive on campus, un- tangle obstinate knots in a tight curricu- lum, sit long hours in committee meetings, or listen to the woes of college students? These are they whom we call the adminis- tration. They arc not fencing people in with hard and fast rules but are always ready to consider problems in a spiritual light and give counsel and advice. “Pre- cept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little.” Yes, they are always working in lines. It may be that a line w'ill make you wait for an hour to get your schedule and curriculum straightened out with the dean. Or you may wait in line with your purse full, anxiously waiting to place it in the hands of the controller. Or you may get lined up again by the college physician. There arc onc-hundred-and-one things which this part of the college may have to do in a day. Often they may he seen late at night wading through a strenuous task. Even though they arc always busy they still seem to find time to counsel and help lead us into areas of high living. It is not unusual to see one of them taking time to smell a flower, to tickle a grand- child, to chaperone the peak-climbers, or sit down to enjoy a good evening of music. At times they take off their cloaks of dig- nity and become personal friends. It is these friendly contacts that we will re- member in years to come. —Roland Yoder I believe we should meet this afternoon to clear up a few' matters before registration. personnel committees ..“For official information see.

You had just finished high school and all of life spread out before you. It was so mysterious—this life. There were many things to do—so many possibilities. You wanted to know' how you would fit into the pattern about you. You often won- dered just what you w'ouid find to do, how it would be to actually hold a job and earn regular pay checks. Money seemed so important; it was success! Oh, you had to get a good paying job. Time went by, and as you became aware of the actual meagerness of your existence, you wished for the capacity to express more fully what you found, and to find more. Self-searching brought disappoint- ment, and you experienced the search for something beyond and that personal com- mitment to God. To you, as to each seeker, came the anguish of uncertainty and the cry, “Lord, what will you have me to do?”. Then came college days. Those four years were so short. It didn’t take long for college life to fill your every waking moment and to snatch from you the very suggestion of a free minute. Days filled with doing and learning, thinking and talking, good intentions and better excuses, gab sessions and letter writing, cramming and meeting deadlines, early risings and late retirings consumed your energy. Time was lavished on those extras—games, com- mittees, service activities and class projects, clubs and sports. Once more you put awray your hooks and look to the unknown ahead. As you try to imagine your life-work, you look within yourself, eager to eye the resources you have compiled. But there yo i see greater still your responsibility to others, and you realize you are not yet prepared, you are not yet as the Master—patient and ever faithful and conscious of the souls of men, regardless of their earthly state. And you know that all of life is a striving, a becom- ing, a learning, a growing. You know that all of life will be a relationship with God —a listening for His answer to, “Lord, what will you have me to do?” —Joyce Marie Frey On a cold winter night with stars, they go out with mitts and scarfs and a Christmas song on their lips.

You say to them, “Tell me, what is summer school like?” And they reply, “Summer school is study- ing when the temperature soars to ninety in the shade. But it is also cooling off in the Shenandoah River. It is getting to class at 7:31 in the morning and finding that the prof didn’t quite make il either. It is using the library as a place to meet your friends and tell jokes. Summer school is eating your own cooking, or your room- mates’, and remaining healthy.

C. called and from all over the globe her students responded. They came from Puerto Rico, Holland, Germany, Greece, Jordan, China, Korea. Japan, Ugan- da, and Italian Somaliland. With them they brought the charm of far-away places. Their influence has added much to the atmosphere on the campus. E. M. C. would not be complete without her foreign stu- dents. Second-semester students are the brave ones who start out in the middle of things. Our half-way mark is their beginning. Because there are so few of them we soon know who they arc. But they have the merry task of getting acquainted with all of us in one semester. 60 —Julia Yoder or are Graduate, Foreign, or Second Semester Students Graduate Students: Merlin Swarf ., Arthur Byer, Nor- man Yutzy, Herman Reitz, Harry Lcfcver, Kenneth Sch- wartzentrubcr, John Shenk.

COLLEGE FRESHMEN “The true purpose of education is to cherish and unfold the seed of immortal- ity already sown within us; to develop, to their fullest extent, the capacities of every kind with which the God who made us has endowed us.” This expresses the purpose and aim of our freshmen class. We do not know into what the Lord will lead us, but we are here in order that we will be trained for His service. Future businessmen, secretaries, doctors, teachers, mission workers, ministers, nurses, farmers, and carpenters are among our rank. Life at E.M.C. is full of exciting experi- ences and varied people. It is a busy life —crowded from morning ’til night. We will often review and relive the days and goings at E.M.C. ....the jarring ring of the alarm clock. ....the aroma of coffee at breakfast. ....the awakening effect of chorus prac- tice. ....the mob at the mail boxes. ....the awful let-down feeling of an empty mailbox. ....that walk around the campus after dinner. ....quartet practice in one of the “D” rooms. ....hay ride to the barn. ....skating on Good’s pond. ....suspense at the Smith-Z contest. ....shaking mops before open-house. ....star gazing on Vesper Heights. . ..the “Messiah” rendition at Bridge- water. ... the dull evening after “Holy City.” ....final cramming at exam time. ....packing all the odds and ends. —Rachel Wenger Evelyn Leaman, Lois Krady, James Payne, Arlene Wea- ver, Keith Mullet, Joyce Metzler, Nancy Wert, Violet Yoder, Sue Dement, Lois Leatherman.

COLLEGE SOPHOMORES We were the sophomores, a cross-section of E.M.C. You found us studying, brows- ing, discussing, practicing, and fellowship- ping together. We systematically studied significant literature, contemporary society, human history, and evasive language. You saw us placidly browsing through library stacks, informative books, unread periodicals, and catalogued files in search of choice morsels for our latest research papers. You heard us noisily discussing returned exams, perplexing problems, home news, and the latest developments. You were with us as we pleasantly fel- lowshiped around well-spread tables, at soul-warming gatherings, faculty open- house, and Wyse’s concerts. You wished that you were sophomores when you heard of the corn husking under the full autumn moon, and caught snatches of enthusiasm and glowing reports as we returned from our tour of New York City. You read our writings in the Weather Vane and Journal and from Scrib. You saw our purple fingers as we emerged from the editorial office. We worked with you in the YPCA and in program committees helping in the be- hind-the-scenes work that keeps the mach- inery running smoothly. When you caught us off guard, you glimpsed a far-away look in our eyes that spoke of other friends in other places, of memories of past adventures and dreams of the future. We scattered with you at vacation time to our homes or the homes of friends and returned with newer and better memories. Carried on the tide of endless lessons, persistent projects, ever-present committees, preparing literarics, and supporting games, w'e were, before we knew it, cast upon the shore of spring. We leave your halls E.M.C., with a two- fold perspective: the satisfaction of two years with you and the challenge of two yet to come. We’ll be back in the fall! —Paul M. Schrock OF THE COLLEGE JUNIORS I SING T celebrate the Juniors and sing of them. Singing of twenty-eight young men and nineteen young women wrho belong to EMC and belong to everyone. Singing of their present and their future. Singing of nurses: pushing carts taking temperatures pouring out plenty of TLC by feeding babies, weighing babies. Singing of doctors-to-be: writing prescriptions answering midnight calls inspecting noses, ears, throats. Singing of teachers: having the patience of Job using unheard-of methods of discipline taking part in PTA meetings hating chewing gum Singing of new students: They and we old students together had discussions over teacups prayers together good times with Brother Lehman, his wife, Peter, George, and Timothy. Singing of students of Bible: explaining The Way to seekers directing rural missions chairing committees going to Conference Singing of students of journalism: making dummies sitting through editorial meetings teaching techniques of printing and magazine layouts Singing of individuals: working in an orphans’ home doing individual case studies laboring in experimental labs fulfilling nutritional needs for the underprivileged lubricating routine affairs at home. I celebrate the Juniors and sing of them. I stop somewhere—singing, waiting—to hear from them next year. —Miriam Pellman College Juniors Sanford Shank, Ella Coff- man, Edna Hoover, Mary Ethel I featwole, Naomi Shank, Robert L.

COLLEGE SENIORS: We were the little ones babbling, now Dear Seniors, As I quietly meditate I see a multitude burdened with sin going on aimlessly day by day. I also see a Saviour with a pierced side, nail prints in Ilis hands and feet which have scars of suffering, not for His own sin, but for the burdened multitude. In further meditation I see you, the Class of 1956, leaving your Alma Mater and facing the challenge of service. Service? Yes, that is your highest calling. You have labored hard in preparation, but your life is only beginning. You will face life in a more real way, not as a follower, but as a leader. Your mind will often wander to the class discussions, prayer groups, spiritual life of the campus, the time you consecrated your life to Him. Even then as you meditate new inspiration will grip your soul and cause you to go forth with greater zeal. Some of you will be molding character in the schoolroom; some will be soothing the feverish brow; some, whispering w'ords of encouragement to the distressed; some, preaching the Gospel; while others will settle down as homemakers. Regardless of the vocation, I challenge you to serve well. You dare not lose your vision of Christ, for He would have you bring souls to Him. Remember too, dear seniors, that those of us who remain here will daily remember you at the throne of grace. Now, as w'e separate as a family, may each of you stand firm on the solid Rock, Christ Jesus, looking forward to the great reunion in Heaven when we shall hear the welcome words, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.” 74 In Christian love, M.

I’m sure I shall not pass again this way.” VESPER CHORUS Jim banged his books down on the desk. Why did he have to go to class on this beautiful day? He would so much rather be out on a mountain hike or playing a game of ball. What good would all the English, Oral Ex, and now this Govern- ment lesson do him, anyway? Right now it all seemed so unrelated to the things in school life he would rather be doing. The harsh ringing of the bell brought Jim back to his present situation. The class came to order and the teacher began to speak. “I would like to make a few remarks about your Washington trip,” he said. “I know you all are looking forward to it with keen anticipation.” Jim’s mind gave a start of excitement. Yes, here was something he could look for- ward to. Two whole school days free from classes. What fun that would be! But even though Jim was excited about the trip to the nation’s capital, it didn’t greatly improve his feelings about this govern- ment class. The teacher continued. “You will be seeing many places and things connected with what we have been studying. You will enjoy your trip much more because you know the fundamentals of our govern- ment. So enjoy your trip to the fullest and learn all you can from it.” “Huh,” thought Jim, “I just never thought of it that way.” His mind wan- dered on to other courses. “Oral Ex and English tie right in with my Friday Morn- ing Devotions topic,” he mused. “Nature Society and the mountain hikes go with biology. The Williamsburg and Washing- ton trips give me a better understanding of history and government. Last of all, that ball game will keep me healthy and fit for study.” Jim got the point. He saw that all of these activities were not only extra-curri- cular, but very much co-curricular. —Paul Wenger 90 Our own Toscaninis and Bob Basses, tuck your chins in and get Shaws in training. ready for your run.

What does it all mean?” This past year the programs given have been of a high caliber. Other interesting programs were “International Sports,” and “Phillic Travelog.” Then, of course, we had our socials. We engaged in such competitive sports as softball, football, basketball, and even a tug-of-war contest. The girls, as well as the fellows, joined forces to compete with the Armerians in softball and basketball. You should have heen at the annual con- test game ihis year. Terrific! That reminds me of the annual literary contest which is the crowning event of literary activity. Along with a spirit of competition went a wholesome attitude of respect and good sportsmanship. —Kenneth Seitz, Jr. Oh, I could listen to that all night.

ARMERIANS Although classes and studies make up an important part of our learning pro- gram, the Armerian Literary Society pro- vides relaxation from our regular daily work. Many buried talents are brought to the surface. Our programs are not only a means of finding talents and developing them, but also of providing wholesome en- tertainment. The abilities God has given us are being used in our programs. Our aim is not only for a good time, but to build a firm foundation for life. Our motto, “Not for School, but for Life We Learn,” expresses our desire to develop our talents so we may be of better service for our Master. After an enjoyable program, we often watch an exciting basketball game. In this we strive to build up better sports- manship, always co-operating, whether los- ing or winning. Here at school we are loyal Armerians When we leave our Alma Mater we will still be loyal Americans! Arlin D. Martin The Armerians feature their contemporary artists. INTRODUCING....The things we did in College “In your next lesson for Methods note the strategical withdrawals in Matthew.” Day after day throughout the year the regular classes met. Here we joined in lively discussions; stifled yawns; raced to keep up with the professor’s line of thought; asked questions; handed in daily assignments and term papers; went on field trips; worked through lab periods and took notes in lectures. Gradually we be- came better acquainted with our teachers as individuals, and learned to appreciate their Christian emphasis on secular sub- jects as well as their sincere interest in us. But side by side with our classes—the sections of the day rigidly clocked on our schedule slips—flowed other sources of learning. More informal than the class periods, these contributed to our individual growth. These permitted us to choose our particular field of interest and enjoy it along with others who were like minded. These paralleled and supplemented class- room education—they were the co-curri- cular activities. For everything we put into these co-cur- ricular areas of school life, we certainly received our share of rewards. The times we had “just stacks of work to do” hut went to our Thursday evening club meet- ing anyway convinced us that books aren’t the only way to learn, for we debated, “stargazed,” listened to bird calls, dug into church history, learned foreign customs, and criticized poetry. We gave our time for those necessary jobs—sitting at a type- writer in the “ed” office, creating an attrac- tive poster, planning a tournament set-up, practicing with a quartet .... Whether it’s class periods or the “extras” —required or optional—well, they really aren’t far removed from each other after all. Perhaps the best description of them would be “school experience.” —Connie Yoder 98 Vertebrate Histology includes “Oh, there’s some similarity between a feline’s the microscopic study of tissues. physique and a human’s anatomy.

That’s better.” TOURING CHORUS “Eastern Mennonite College was found- ed by a group of brave, consecrated men; they had, as a part of their founding con- cern, a strong conviction for the develop- ment and preservation of choral, congre- gational singing. “With serious regard for this founding concern and the state of Mennonite Church music today, we have fashioned our col- lege music curriculum with thoughtful de- liberation and prayer. “We are challenged by four specific needs in the music of our Church. These needs arc: Experienced sight readers Competent choral conductors Beautiful, commissioned voices Trained, committed disciples of Christ. “John, God has His eye on your music talents and we’ll be glad to do all we can to make your study enjoyable and inspir- ing. Thanks for stopping by; I’ll see you tomorrow.” —.1. Mark Stauffer Front Row: R. Wyse, L. Mil- ler, C. Yoder, C. Landis, L. Risser, .1. Met .ler, H. Kauff- man, D. Souder. Second Row: R.

We assemble in various fashions and cir- cumstances. We gather formally, inform- ally, on Vesper Heights, in Kuhl Hall or in the midst of our friendly enemies, the honorable Zelatheans. We view America through “Hiawatha,” “The Ambitious Guest,” “Santa Fe Trail,” and “The Boll Weevil Song.” We listen to our own amateur Mario Lanzos, Poes, Frosts and Emily Dickensons who are as yet unconscious of world fame and recognition. We meet our opponents on the basket- ball floor, soccer and baseball fields. We play deftly and fervently. And we lose courageously when the occassion arises. We discover that after socializing one evening with congenial fellow students, the cares and frets of the week become dim- mer. We can then face the stack on the far corner of the desk with renewed ambi- tion. —Rachel Stauffer If it’s Smith, it’s got to be good! 1. Special Bible Term social, 2.

Were you looking for information on the Gospel of John or on deep-sea fishing? Dear Jean, You asked, in your letter, if college and high school ever do things together. Real- ly, we do a lot of things together. I was supposed to write a page for the high school and college co-curriculars of the Shenandoah. Now you realize, of course, that it’s top secret stuff as yet, but just the same. I’ll copy for you some things I overheard people say when we were to- gether. “That kingfisher must have made his home among the trees beside this stream. Oh, look! There’s a pair of wood ducks on the lake—out near the middle, to the right of that third tree!” “There were four little boys in my Sun- day School class at Mt. Jackson yesterday. They’re go-getters, but Elijah on Mt. Car- mel held them spellbound.” “You see, only graduate students arc al- lowed to study in the library during— oh, yes, anyone may use it immediately after supper.” “There’s Vega— that bright star below Cygnus. See it?” “Yes, both the Vesper and Collegiate Choruses are singing that little Christmas cantata. Christ Is Born is the name of it; I believe a man named Clokey, wrote it.” “A chapel talk like this morning’s stim- ulates my thinking. The idea that we arc God’s resources, not our own, and God is our resource—” “What's the tennis score?” “Forty-love.” “No, it can’t—” “I’m just trying to find a space between the blackberry seeds to bite.” And so, Jean, rny answer to your ques- tion is this: either high school or college people could have made those remarks be- cause those are some of the activities in which both may participate. Separate in some ways, yet we are together in many activities, blending our spirits as one big family. See you in September! Hope no Professor’s view of a class in Modern European History. Brother Lehman springs a pop test in Virginia and United States History. “Ya’ real hungry today? We’ve got lots of soup here.” The Young People’s Christian “Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. I low then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and howr shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? and how shall they preach except they be sent? as it is written. How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!” Romans 10:13-16. Jesus used at least three approaches in preparing His band of disciples for their future work. He lived with them. They saw Him in prayer. They marvelled at His wondrous power. They felt His deep love and compassion for needy men. Assurance of Salvation is a large subject. Now that’s an informal way to study church problems. In the lesson today we want to discuss labor unions. Jesus also taught His disciples. They learned the ways of the Kingdom. They were told about its coming and its growth. Finally, Jesus thrust His disciples out into the white harvest field. They went out to experience the Gospel power working through their own lives and returned re- joicing in the grace of God. Here in school we receive the same three-fold training. In private devotional experiences, prayer groups, chapel services, and class periods we meet the Master and are changed through fellowship with Him. We learn His will more perfectly through private study, lectures and discussions in the classroom, and sharing of ideas with fellow students. Finally we grow in our usefulness for the Master as He thrusts us Association....“Whosoever shall call upon the name of into His harvest field even while we are living here on the campus. The Young People’s Christian Association is the chan- nel through which students find many of their opportunities to witness of the love of Christ in their own hearts. It is the stated purpose of the Y.P.C.A. to promote growth in Christian character among students and to give an effective witness in the community surrounding the college and even to “regions beyond” as there is opportunity. Since the Y.P.C.A. is “Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, I will give you rest.” Religious Life Commission sponsors programs on Sunday evening for high school and college. the most inclusive student organization on the campus and has such a large task to perform, you may well ask, “How does it carry on its work?” In order to give you a complete view of the organization at work, I have called all the officers, committee members, and facul- ty advisors together at one time. Various committees and groups within the organi- zation meet separately and at different times and places to perform their particu- lar functions. Now you may paste your picture of Baby Moses in the middle of the page. Could you sing in a quartet at the convalescent home Saturday afternoon? the Lord shall be saved. And how shall they believe in The first committee you see at work is the Executive Committee. They are the of- ficers — President, First Vice-President, Treasurer, Assistant Treasurer, Secretary and Assistant Secretary. The Second Vice- President and the two assistants are high school students. That person you see sitting over there is chairman of the Faculty Ad- visory Committee which serves as the con- necting link between the administration of the college and the “Y.” The Executive Committee takes care of the detailed and routine business relating to the total organ- ization and the spiritual leadership of the “Y.” In this next room the Cabinet is meet- ing. When the Cabinet is complete it in- cludes the Executive Committee, which we have already seen, three high school mem- bers-at-large, and six commissioners about whom you will learn more shortly. This body discusses and acts upon all the im- portant matters of business because it car- ries the widest representation of any work- ing group in the “Y.” Look! Do you see that large room full of students? They are the working crews of the Y. P. C. A. If everyone is present, there are 111 students here! They are seated around six long tables.

The thirty-two committees making up the six commissions arc responsible to plan for and carry out a wide variety of types of witness. You say you would like to know more about the actual carrying out of this pro- gram? We will leave the organizational part now and stop briefly to see students in action. Some of the persons will be the same ones you have already seen while other faces will be new. Many students participate who are not on committees. Where shall we begin? Oh, yes, I know. Room 26.

We saw it in the middle of the school year, when one young man felt led to come for- ward and tell to the whole school how God had spoken to Him. Yes, the Holy Spirit was at work. Revival in the individual. Did it happen in you? Revival? We heard God’s voice speak during “revival-week” through His servant. Brother Roth. Many of us responded to the claim of the Holy Spirit personally. God used an evangelist—one single person. Only through cleansed, one-pur- posed individuals is Jesus Christ able to evangelize. You too are called to be an evangelist, whether full time or in your daily life. Revival? You are aware of the fact that you need to be revived. There is a hunger and thirst for refreshing in your spiritual life. Nothing real- ly changed, you say? That’s it. You’ve had enough. That is your trouble. Oh, your knowledge —even perhaps your wisdom from the Bible—has become a stumbling block to you. Revival! Lay down your knowledge, which came before the First and the Last. Know only Jestis Christ and His kingdom and all things shall be added to you. Revival? In you? Intermediate Senior Bible Meeting “I enjoyed Brother Metzler’s message this morning.

They came, some of them quiet and a little tense, but they came anyway, and one by one they chirped and warbled obed- iently to the pitch that was la-la-la-ed to them. They came after that too, twice a week, no longer subdued and inhibited, but con- fident and cooperative and reliable. And then they went on tour, taking with them their laughter and their seriousness and their song. It was a merry time and a sober time, a time for giving and a time for receiving. Now they’ve gone, and they’ll never be back again in just the same way, but there are compensations even for the nostalgia; I know they’ve gone bearing their song with them. —Audrey Shank MUSICAL GLIMPSES 1.

They’ll be here later.” “We may as well start singing.” March has made her exit, giving prefer- ence to April and May. No longer do we hear that once familiar note which used to interrupt our Tuesday and Friday noon meals. “You know, I really miss singing those German chorales!” “We should get together and sing them again.” “Will someone please get his Hymnary?” “I can still see the radiant expressions, especially of the older folks, when we sang those German songs.” —Phyllis Frey “So nirnm derm meinc Hande, und Fuhre mich . . .” “Resolved: That the non-agrieultural in- dustries of the United States should guai-- antee their employees an annual wage.” College Public Speaking High School Oral Expression FORENSIC SOCIETY “Ladies and gentlemen, honorable judge, worthy opponents, and friends. The question for tonight is. Resolved: That the non-agricultural industries of the United States should guarantee their employees an annual wage.” With this statement the 1955 debating question opened. Before this statement wes made, however, there were many hours of searching through books and magazines for debate material. We came to under- stand something about labor unions, big businesses, and politics. The two chapters of the society, Lin- coln and Douglas, consistently opposed each other and the competitive spirit is one means of reaching our goals. Our able sponsor, Henry Weaver, Jr., channeled our word battles towards our objectives. As we close another year of profitable debating we arc assured that our thinking is faster, more precise, and more logical. The society’s motto sums up the purpose of our society: “Cogito, Ergo Sum.” —Henry Benner 128 BIBLE MEMORY CLUB Long ago, royal king David said, “I will delight myself in Thy statutes: I will not forget Thy Word.” Psalm 119:16. ....We, too, the members of Bible Mem- ory delight in pursuing the thoughts of God. Ezekiel wrote: “Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.” Ezekiel 3:3. ....Bible Memory is for those who love the Word, who realize that it is a preci- ous treasury of truth. Jesus said: “Search the Scriptures....they testify of me.” John 5:39. He added, “If ye continue in my word, then are yc my disciples indeed.” John 8:31. ....In Bible Memory, it is our prayer that, as we memorize, the Holy Spirit may guide us into all truth.

September weeks of softball and baseball....rough Before books had been opened long the cry was heard, “Play ball.” With that cry several September weeks of softball and baseball were swung in. When those struck out there followed the usual October and November sports of football and soccer. These were the rough games that allured fellows with strong arms and quick feet. And usually there were some who limped and others who courted crutches. But all was not for naught. Someone won! In the bleak of winter there were always a few stars and a frozen pond for skating. “Who said ‘Kidd' Hall? It’s a cold hall!” No one minded, for everyone was packed into an electrically charged crowd. The blurred figures merged into team action as the mob screamed wildly in approval. Those were the Friday nights in the gym when basketball was the chief sport. And there were ping pong and shuffel board in the recreational room for winter nights, too. But those sports were never seasonal. Sportsmen played those regularly. Snow melted and it was spring and if the tennis courts were dry, the air was filled with the constant “punk,” “punk” of tennis balls against tennis rackets. 132 games of football and soccer....a few stars, a frozen pond The Athletic Association— the people who keep things “on the ball” around here.

Once in a while the girls laid aside their assigned feminine roles to welcome more aggressive ones. Take the docile girl who answered as number “fahve” in phys ed class. She was high scorer in basketball for the Smiths and pitched for the C soft- ball team. Maybe she even captained the “Hazel” Team for volleyball players. She probably played soccer and complained about getting her shins kicked. But more important, I believe, is that number “fahve” learned the values of ac- tive recreation and learned to plan her own play. About 10:30 one cold January night you might have seen her with simi- lar uninhibited girls marching out the front of ladies dorm to go ice “sliding” (she had per). And she took advantage of the snow-covered hill and went tobog- ganing. Then there were the informal president-sanctioned snowball battles “east of the women’s dorm and away from the buildings.” Of course, number “fahve” went along to the mountains and waded in streams and skipped stones, too. —Miriam Pellman Strike two.

It was more of a social function. Going again? Not me! If I get off these. I’m staying off! We’ve gotta’ slow down or we’ll hit that curb! Twenty-nine to thirty and one minute to go.

Sometimes it is die nature of a craft to create an unbreakable tie between itself and the worker in that field, a heart attachment equal to lifetime devotion. One familiar example is PRINTING. Once editor, once compositor, or press- man catches the spirit of the shop, the spell is seldom broken. Like the odor of a camp fire, or a whiff of salt air, the beloved tang of printer’s ink, symboli- cal of a great profession, gets into your heart and soul. School Annuals, Magazines, Newspapers and Special Printing, all smack of it. It is an invisible link that binds all intelligence together. It is the stimulus for creation in business or romance. This craftsmanship, this devotion to service and alert- ness to business needs, has nourished and developed an enormous industrial vitality, and whichever way the course of the future runs, the printer will always find himself able to adapt his helpfulness to new opportunity.
