T HOMECOMING A ’ rs Y git ELC yee | | COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES Shenandoah Dedication [4] The Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees. To the Board of Trustees: You have a vision of the potential resources of the Mennonite Church; you are seeking to propagate the nonconformed faith of our forefathers; you have placed confidence in youth; you are seeking to promote Christian education and evangelism through a Christ-centered school program —it is to you that we express our thanks in the dedi- cation of this volume. The staff hopes that the publishing of this volume will serve to renew memories of the experiences that have become a part of each one of us. To forget would be impossible, but such an album should serve to enrich reminiscence. Parents, friends, and alumni of the college: these are a few choice selections portraying the activities that have made this year mean- ingful to us—the friends we met, the lessons we learned, the Christian atmosphere that en- riched our spiritual lives. We probably have not accomplished all that we had hoped to, but we trust that in a small way this book may contribute to the cause of Christ and the church. Seniors: we have reached an important milestone. As we go from E.M.C. our motto will continue to be, “Thy Word is Truth.” CHAPEL AUDITORIUM Foreword WOMEN’S DORMITORY li ith imaGananeen The College Classes To speak of “college classes” may seem very impersonal, but if you look at us a bit closer you will see us as individuals. We are per- sons who have come from different places with the common purpose to learn: to learn f rom one another, from books, and from our teach- ers. Of course, we spend much time study- ing the Bible, and relating all things that we learn to the Bible. Our motto says, “Thy Word is Truth.’ God is the author of all knowledge. We are motivated by God-given drives to learn. ‘The purpose of learning 1s the same in college as in first grade, that is, to better prepare the person for life in making his will a servant to himself under the Head- ship of Christ, and in developing his talents to yield their full capacity of strength. SENIOR OFFICERS L. to R.; J. Paul Shenk, =Bus. Mer.; Ruth E. Nussbaum, Treas.; Clarence Rutt, Pres.; Pauline Lehman, Sec.; James Stauffer, V.-Pres. Seniors ‘Forward in Faith” Bro. J- Mark, Evelyn, Mrs. Stauffer, Margaret, John Mark, Jr. There are times in the lives of men when words, written or spoken, seem idle and in- adequate. Here at the terminal of our four years of campus fellowship we pause for a few moments of reflection and anticipation. I must restrain the sentiments of the past which crowd my memory—the incidents of our class spirit, co-operation, and fellowship have been most pleasant and satisfying. As graduating seniors and spiritual soldiers, your faces point to the future. The conquests Which lie before you may be difficult and long, but you will be the victors through Christ. I charge you to remain forever rooted and grounded in the Word of the Lord; to garri- son your never-dying soul with continual prayer; and to yield, without reserve, to the presence and power of the Holy Spirit in your life.

Reverberates triumphantly. “Come, follow Me. My yoke is easy; “Fear thou not, for I am with thee. My burden, light. The corn of wheat, except it die, abides alone. Into green pastures I will lead you, Who follows Me, his life must lose, To where the rushing water’s_ brink And losing, find new life in Me. Lies calm and still, This is the Way; That you may drink Walk ye in it.” And lie down satisfied.” And we go forward— And we go forward— Forward in faith— Forward in faith— Although we do not see the path ahead, In quietness and confidence, We know the Voice who leads. For therein lies our strength. Yes, Lord, We ever follow Thee, Whether through green pastures Or shadowed valleys Or through storm; We know Thy light eternal Illuminates our skyward path. With Thee we shall go forward— Forward in faith. —Janet Kreider [16] 1. Student banquet. 2. Sharpshooter. 3. “Everybody ready?” 4. Milo’s masterpiece. 5. A profound pose. 6.

Glen Good, Hollinger, Ist Year Graduate -Students If one wishes to have some surgery per- formed, he looks for a man with recognized professional training. He would not consent to place his life into the hands of a man who is not skilled as a surgeon. The best in medi- cal training is expected of such a man. Does not the spiritual ministry to immor- tal souls just as well call for specializing and advanced study? Should not the church be preparing skilled spiritual physicians? In writ- (18) ing to the young pastor, Timothy, Paul senses the exacting demands that will be made of the spiritual leaders. He says, “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed... .” It is out of the increasing needs of our church for such workmen that our graduate department will continue to expand in the future. —Laban Peachey American - Studies “Cease to be ruled by dogmas and authort- ties; look at the world.” These words were the alarm-bell sounded by Roger Bacon who cried the intellectual revival of Europe in the thirteenth century. “Look at the world” must be emphasized also today. School life in the warm fellowship beyond nationality pro- motes mu tual understanding and wide knowl- edge, and the way to the truth is made wide. —Masayuki Kawahata Masayuki Kawahata, Osaka, Japan.

The Junior Class You saw us when we frowned at the rules of enclitics in Greek; when we practiced speechmaking under the merciless heckling of the class; when we defined cultural var- liability and prepared chick embryo slides. When the fat met the lean in “knock-’im- off-the-stool” in Oakwood; when we gathered sedately for the class supper; when we chose as our motto “Conquering Through Christ” and prayed together, you saw us. When we witnessed the trials of the men to whom we preached in jail; when we serv- ed on Gospel teams; when we found spiritual needs at Gospel Hill and Staunton homes; when we kept the “Y” cars serviced and its accounts straight, you saw us. When we yelled “Yea, team’; when we drove our old cars or walked; when we got cold showers for getting engaged; when we nursed the sick; when we “rushed” to chorus and “squeaked” in Chemistry, you saw us.

Which way should we take?” And his friend answered, “Here is a path, a bit rougher than the others, perhaps, but at the end I see honor, riches, and culture.” So carefully did they walk at first that they saw nothing before them—nothing but a bit of ground.

Funny, I hadn’t thought so before. I saw my teacher as a good friend, so sympathetic, so under- standing, so human. I relished her jokes. Bored to death? Of course, we have been, when the air was warm and we looked out on Blue Ridge. But out nearer the Ridge the boredom is replaced by our practical use of the books we studied and the confidence of teachers and friends.

The cross is an in- strument of suffering whic h you shoulder and bear to your death. The crowd jibes as you go, for it is never so popular to take up the cross as to offer to die for it. To defend the cross of Christ you must accept it as your own. You cannot force God’s message upon His enemies. The miracle of the cross in your lives must win them. Others will acknowl- edge His power as Christ triumphs in your lives. Only when self has been done to death can you be “Crusaders for the Cross.”’ —A. Grace Wenger Davin C. ALLEN Harrisonburg, Va.

[89] Class Poem White ‘neath the clouds gleams the Saviour’s face As upward He stumbles, over the stones; In His dark tender eyes can be seen the trace Of pain—as the drops from His brow stain the place Where He carried the cross all alone. Dark on the brow of a hill—the cross Stands strangely forgotten, firm in the sod; Its massive arms covered with lichens and moss, Yet flaunting in triumph the deep gory gloss Which broke the heart of God. “Lord, we are thankful salvation is free, Yet what of the millions, and their great loss In knowing not of Thy death on the tree? Forgive our neglect; give us strength to be Crusaders for the Cross!”’ —Esther Emswiler Identification (opposite page) 1. “You aren't the one I was expecting!” 2. “To avoid double exposure, always wind your camera after you take the shot.” 3.

[47] ADMINISTRATION BUILDING Administration And Faculty The members of the Faculty and Admin- istrative Staff have accepted their assignments at Eastern Mennonite College as a call of God to serve the youth of the church. It is their prayer that each student may daily “in- crease in the knowledge of his will” and “be ‘To see this accomplished in the lives of students conformed to the image of his Son.” is a constant challenge and source of inspira- tion for the performance of their daily tasks. They are grateful to God for the privilege of sharing in the preparation of Christian youth to serve the Lord and the church. —Lester C. Shank From the President Dear Seniors, Graduation is a point in life which calls for pause, reflection, and evaluation. A pause will give a greater awareness of academic achievement, of moral development, and of spiritual attainment. Reflection will bring into focus the Christian val- ues you acquainted through the years. Evaluation will underscore the meaning and reality of fellow- ship with God and friends in your Alma Mater. I “commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.” From the College Dean Dear Graduates of 1953, Your commencement has a parallel in Christ’s return to Galilee after the Temptation. It is vivid- ly sketched in two pictures, one before, the other after this event: “Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, . . . w as led by the Spirit . . . to be tempted by the devil,” and “Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee.” What a triumphal entry into His active ministry! The years just past im- posed tests, if not actual temptations, through which the Spirit has driven you. And now to your Nazareth. May you, as Christ, be able to declare to fellow Nazarenes, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me.” From the Director of High School Dear Graduates, May you meet the challenge of your class motto. Many are groping in darkness hoping to catch a gleam of light that will lead them to a satisfying life. Your motto demands dynamic, consistent Christian living, self-denial, and an awareness of the opportunities to make the significance of the cross known to the world. May the confused ones among us see in your life a ray of hope springing from the One the cross symbolizes. [50] JOHN R.

Secondly, the YPCA endeavors to minister to the spiritual needs of the communities about us by an adequate evangelistic program. Thirdly, the YPCA purposes to serve the Mennonite Church by direct participation in local church programs and by sponsoring Gospel teams to various mission congrega- tions. —FEverett Metzler L. to R.: Dorothy Lan- des, Asst.

As we give ourselves to be used in God’s service, those who witness and those who re- ceive the message experience mutual bless- ings. ‘The “Y” is dedicated to the purpose of glorifying our Master by bringing souls into His kingdom and by helping to prepare its members for further service in all parts of the world. —Janet Kreider, Secretary Behind car: Virgil Stoltzfus, Wayside Chm.

One of the immediate purposes of a choral or- . | ( ollegiate ganization is to touch the hearts of men. The Collegiate Chorus this year was not just another a cappella chorus; it has a personality all its own. Chorus The ensemble reflected the character of its in- dividual members; here was a large group of con- secrated Christian youth, talented, healthy, and energized for work. It was a pleasure not soon to be forgotten to be- gin the day with a session of Collegiate Chorus. They gave generously of themselves in rehearsing The Christmas Oratorio by J. 8. Bach and The Holy City by Alfred Gaul. Who could measure the blessing which this chorus brought to the lives of its receptive audi- ences? And who would dare to state the extent to which these singers can contribute to the music of the Mennonite Church in the years which lie ahead? —J. Mark Stauffer, conductor [80] “It’s the songs ye sing and the smiles ye wear, that’s makin’ the sunshine everywhere.” Vesper Chorus contributes effectively to the pleasant associations and Christian fel- lowship at E.M.C. Here a unity of expres- sion is sought in the production of beauti- ful melody, harmony, and thought. Various personalities are blended in a co-operative venture toward a common goal. Choral activity promotes a greater appre- ciation of good music literature. Participa- tion in singing great soul-stirring music deep- ens one’s devotion to God. Musical ideals and standards of the chorus are evidenced later in both home and church, since this inspirational experience lingers in the mem- an V esper Vesper Chorus uses challenging music ma- P terial, including a variety of Christmas carols and hymns. The cantata, David the Shep- ( h herd Boy, is an annual feature at commence- Orus ment time. —ParleviMaust BACK ROW: S. Miller, D. Hertzler, L. Hackman, D. Hege, F. Rhodes, D. Showalter, A. Godshall.

Our director, Earl Maust, has endeavored to help Brother Stauffer has helped us to realize that there is more to singing than merely repeating words and singing notes. He has shown us that we must feel, and let our faces radiate, the message of the song. —Evelyn Rittenhouse z s g z a 4 us reach a high level of musical attainment as well as personal experience of the truths we sing. Participation in this chorus has been a worship experience and has added to our musical appreciation. —Victor Stoltzfus Touring Chorus endeavors to present a varied program of sacred music. By extend- ing the use of better church music, the chorus broadens the influence of the lofty themes of the Gospel. The tour through the con- stituency strengthens the tie between the people and the college. To have experienced the message of the text is the ideal of each chorus member. ‘That the ‘message may be effective, divine help is sought before each program and re- hearsal. —Clarence Rutt On April 2 twenty eager students boarded waiting autos for a twelve-day chorus tour. Traveling was never dull, but most enjoy- able of all was the privilege to witness for our Lord in song and testimony. Each even- ing as we presented the Easter message we were challenged anew. We appreciated very much the friendly chats with the folks who so kindly entertain- ed us each night. It strengthened our spir- itual lives to fellowship with so many Chris- tian friends. —Stanwyn Shetler [83] Oe | : PROPHETIC LITERATURE Presented by LUCINDA MARTIN RICHARD YODER CATHERINE MUMAW CLYDE FULMER ae TRUMAN HERTZLER QUARTET =% WILLIAM SOUDER 2 CAROL SINGING | __ SMITHSONIAN LITERARY [84 Roaming the halls of E.M.C. I saw as it were an endless number of students tread- ing through the classrooms, having ink- stained fingers and furrowed brows, shuffling the pages of endless books. On and on they went until upon a certain evening I saw many of them having much intellect and much weariness hastening to a certain spot. Following, I beheld them at a spring. They drank deeply of the spring in all its moods; the trickling, ever-deepening melodies were like unto the music of the masters; its de- lightful, steady flowing was like the delight found in literary masters; and its beauty inspired them as they studied art of the ages. They drank deeply and came away re- newed, eager to continue intellectual growth. They had drunk of the “Pierian Spring.” They had been to the Smithsonian Literary. —Pauline ‘Lehman The Zelathean Literary Society is a young society Just emerging from its adolescent pe- riod. It has the advantages of youth—vision, vigor, and originality, plus years of expe- rience which have made it a top-ranking organization on the campus. It is a society in which active youth may find the fellow- ship of kindred spirits. Its members are not satisfied to live in the past, nor yet to be content with the present, but are ever mov- ing on to greater projects in sports, literary accomplishments, and the development of a loyal school spirit. Those interested in progress find themselves at home among Zela- theans. —Herbert Minnich staging Plotoriais. c 44 Mile Stabs Renton Brubaker [85] P-50-7:00-Jan23 Diet hes Winter Story. so Quartet _ Be Winter ieee se er eMorst Tuins igh si ee ea NS _Lois Landuater es hase A Miriam Mellrnoe ‘Rein on Winter.

Through the literary programs we students learn to use our musical abilities in quartets; we gain an appreciation for good music from the records we hear; and _ potential public speakers get practice by giving readings, po- ems, and speeches. Other activities, such as competitive bas- ketball and softball games with other socie- ties, teach us better sportsmanship. Our motto, “Not for school, but for life we learn,’ expresses our desire to develop and use our talents so that we may serve the Master more effectively. —Faith Shank Why join the Philomathean Literary So- ciety? You will have the privilege of enjoy- ing some very good programs, and may help make some of these good by participating in them. You will look forward to Friday even- ing and literary as a traveler looks forward to home after a long journey. A good liter- ary program is mental relaxation from a week of hard work. Because of the many talents in our society, we provide various activities. If you are ready for a lot of fun, be sure to attend our socials. If you would like a more quiet type of program, there are readings, poems, and music programs. If you are in- terested in sports, participate in a Phillie Armerian basketball game. By taking part in an impromptu program you may discover talents you had never put to use before., Our motto is “Training for Service.” It is the aim of the Philomatheans to prepare you to better serve your Master. —Betty Ebersole Weather Doth bandes 3 eel Quartet | the Ambitious: Gaal 2 ce Heel Leide, Baily Ebersole.

The staff know more about editing an annual, and the sponsor knows more about the staff. It really keeps me feeling young to watch the new re- cruits year after year tackling the Shenandoah and seeing it through with enthusiasm, good spirit, dependability, and congeniality.

It means students expressing thoughts about nature, literature, God, and church and national affairs. In short, the word Journal means a_ picture—a_ picture of E.M.C. —S. Fred Brunk aa ALUMNI DEPT.

By these we were entertained, as with “The Joys of Fishing.” We were educated in the idiosyncrasies of ““The Mechanical Mule.” We philosophized about “the sense of futil- ity.” In Nature we saw the “piercing yell of sunshine,” heard the rain “soft and patter- ing.” We learned to know people—unpre- dictable “Lil” and the blind man. We wor- shiped as we prayed to the “Great Keeper of the Seasons.” And so, you see, being a member of “‘Scrib”’ is an education in itself, and so much fun. —Ruth Burkholder La Sociedad Espanola Las veinte naciones de América Latina llaman a la puerta de la gran Unidén del Norte.
