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. Find the open road leading to the harvest field; move “Forward in Faith.” —J. Mark Stauffer [8]

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.
