In the 1955 SHENANDOAH we are presenting a miniature of this tapestry by exhibit- ing close-ups of its designs. God has been Master-Designer directing the weav- ing of the threads which, although often imperfect, have been worked together by Him into a thing of symmetry and grace. We present the reproduction of this tapestry with the prayer that it will bring glory to Him. Contents liiccoduction ees eee PacCua ee?

For thirty-five years he has worked with her and for her until E.M.C. seems to possess the spirit of him as well. A peep into these thirty-five years presents a kaleido- scopic view of mathematics, music, English, the stars, and physics, all mixed together, but melting into a har- monious design that portrays a colorful life. Tenderly he has fathered the Journal, the Weather Vane, and the SHENANDOAH. From his prayer-dipped pen have flowed words which have changed and ennobled many lives. Then with characteristic versatility he has written music and directed choruses, taught calculus and expounded physics, led students down the Milky Way and initiated them into a friendly acquaintance with the stars. As a tribute to his devoted service to the church and to Eastern Mennonite College, the SHENANDOAH staff of 1954-55 dedicates this volume to M. T. Brackbill. Maurice T.

Nearly one hundred students participate in these committees. Many more are used in the actual witness opportunities provided through their planning. The committees are grouped into six commissions according to the type of serv- ice they perform. These commissions are the Extension, Rural Evangelism, City Evangelism, Religious Life, Institutional Work, and Service Promotion. Each com- mission is directed by a commissioner who seeks to co-ordinate the work of the several _ committees and give guidance and assist- ance in their work. : An executive committee, six commis- sioners, and three members at large make up the “Y” cabinet. With the counsel of several faculty advisers, the cabinet makes the major decisions for the organization.

In one com- munity last year a rather spontaneous re- vival occurred largely as a result of the intensive evangelistic efforts in cottage meeting work by faithful Y.P.C.A. work- ers. Another area in which the “Y serves is in Sunday-school work—teaching classes, conducting children’s meetings, and simi- lar services. Folks always enjoy, too, the special programs by Gospel teams, quar- tets, and other “Y” groups. As a final example of the impact of the Y.P.C.A. on the local community, today there stands on the outskirts of the town of Elkton, an attractive little brick church, a sacred spot for a group of believers there. It is the result of “Y” street meetings and Sunday-school work in the past. Praise God for the Y.P.C.A. ... DANIEL B.

IMPACT ON STUDENTS Nearly thirty-five years have passed since “the original shot was fired” by the Y.P.C.A., and the reverberating influence of this student organization continues year by year. Visitation in sin-ridden, poverty- stricken homes of Harrisonburg has helped to impress indelibly upon the conscience of students, who come from sheltered rural communities, the needs of the world—and so near home. From such experiences plus Missionary Fellowship and prayer meetings sponsored by the “Y” on the campus, missionary con- victions have been born which have im- pelled students to go to “the uttermost parts of the earth.” _ As the Y.P.C.A. helps to “form” convic-, tion for Christian service, it also helps to VGA Cray Soliciting new members, ar- ranging quartets, seeing that all property of the “Y” is running smoothly, and helping those stu- dents who are low in “shekels” to find work opportunities is, in brief, the work which the Serv- ice Promotion Commission does in its effort to make Christ known. “warm conviction—and to keep it warm through the long grind of a four- or six- year curriculum. One such student testi- fies as follows: “The Y.P.C.A. was a great factor in keeping my heart warm for souls while preparing for more effective wit- nessing. Through the “Y” program students get opportunity to develop ialents for singing, speaking, personal work, teaching, and visiting. Every student needs these oppor- tunities in order to grow spiritually. Ex- perience must keep pace with knowledge lest the latter become a liability. Along with such expression the student is con- stantly improving his skills for more effec- tive service in the future under God's blessing. Pa ISAAG. Glick OUTREACH OF THE “Y” The best way to make a stagnant swamp is to allow a lake no outlet. Similarly, nothing is so deadly to student educational experience as constant learning experi- ences without application or expression of The policy of the Y.P.C.A. is to send teams to the small or isolated mission points that are usually by-passed by larger touring groups. This is especially appre- ciated by mission pastors and congrega- tions that otherwise may have few contacts with other consecrated youth of the church. 26 truth that is learned. Gospel teams sent to appointments in West Virginia, Pennsyl- vania, New York, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, and Alabama during this school year provided significant opportunities for a large number of students. INSTITUTIONAL WorK COMMISSION. LEFT TO RIGHT: Paul Roth, Paul Landis, Ruth Yoder, Lester Bau- man, Stanley Souder. NOT ON PIC- TURE: Ezra Peachey. The primary aim of the Insti- tutional Work Commission is to spiritually help those who are bedridden and those who are be- hind bars, bound by sin and bad habits, not realizing that real liberty and freedom are found only in bondslavery to Jesus Christ. The thrill of being used by the Lord in witnessing, the valuable fellowship with mission workers and congregations, and learning to know and work with fellow students are all invaluable in forming stu- dent convictions for life service. ...

I knew you would. And by the way, youre re- sponsible to plan for the ‘peak climb’—that’s three days from now!” Other activities under the wing of the social commit- tee include the Thanksgiving social, criticism slips, skating parties, open house, and the big event—the spring banquet. Agreed, it is a lot of work, but the reward of making life more interesting for others is much greater. ... Kerra Escu 27 Evangelists In the early fall, after the first several weeks of becoming accustomed to campus life, we take time out for a week of special consideration of the Word and of our per- sonal relationship to Christ and to our fel- low men. This fall the Pastor of Students, Myron Augsburger, led us in the Conquest of Holiness by way of the conquest of sal- vation, life, love, victory, obedience, the Spirit-filled life, eternity. We were drawn into spiritual unity as we joined hearts and efforts to “follow . . . holiness.” At the change of semesters when course examinations are completed and the Spe- cial Bible Term students have joined the college family, then comes again the pause in the year’s activities for another time of special, spiritual refreshing before plung- ing into the heavy work of the last semes- John R. Mumaw Myron Augsburger ter. For this second Revival Week, the College President, John R. Mumaw, ac- cepted the responsibility of serving as our evangelist. Through message after mes- sage we were brought nearer and nearer to Christ until we came to the place where we beheld the suffering, dying Lamb of God; the offering through which we are sanctified once for all. And beholding Him afresh our love grew stronger—our love for Him and for each other. We followed on and saw His death, our death; His life, our life. We searched and understood more clearly the Person who has come to live within us; His purpose, how He works, what He accomplishes for us, and what He desires to do through us. Finally, as we stood looking back across the panorama of spiritual wealth our hearts exclaimed with Paul, “We are more than conquerors through him that loved us!” ... EVELYN E.

REBECCA STOLTZFUS Vesper Chorus It’s Monday, Wednesday, or Friday, the second bell has rung, and the one hundred and twenty-two chorus members quickly find their places. Feet shuffle; pages rustle; those last few words are quickly whispered to one’s neighbor. Suddenly, everyone be- comes alert; all eyes fix upon the director; we begin practicing. Time flies as we eagerly attempt this new number or work on a difficult part of that song. After weeks of practice, we finally come to the big night—the night of the program. We file slowly onto the platform and stand there nervously awaiting the pitch and the conductor's first beat. Uneasiness soon vanishes as we try to interpret to the audi- ence what the songs have come to mean to us. As the last “Hosanna” rings out, Broth- er Maust’s encouraging smile assures us that he is well pleased. Vesper Chorus presented three pro- grams this year. A cantata, “The Shep- herd’s Christmas,” was sung at our Christ- mas program. Our next performance was March 20. Then there was the climactic program to which we had all looked for- ward—the rendition of “David, the Shep- herd Boy.” Chorus this year has meant much to us. Not only has it been a source of relaxation and inspiration, but through it we have developed a greater appreciation for mu- sic. And most important, it has been a means of expressing our praise to God. ... LAVERNE WENGER Collegiate Chorus We shall forget, and we shall remember.

AUDREY SHANK ee a MTR EL 4 ad Men’s Chorus Twenty-eight voices blend together, and “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God”™ swells to fill the auditorium. Though the music is inspirational, chorus members always find that hard work is the code of the day. Pa- tiently Brother Maust works with us, qui- eting the first tenor section a bit, suggest- ing a way of improving tone quality, or perhaps calling for special emphasis upon a particular word. Easter approaches, and with it our tour. “Above all, we want this to be a spiritual ministry, rings in our ears as we step up into the bus.

LORETTA SHROCK 40 Sometimes the road which leads from the frogs of freshman biology to the sheep- skin with M.D. written on it looks a little long and rough. Premed Society this year made the road seem a little shorter, filled in a few holes, and paved a few rough spots by giving us a clearer outlook on the medical profession. Premeds studied cancer, polio, antibi- otics; listened to reports on Maryland and Philadelphia medical schools; heard doc- tors speak of their practices; roamed the halls of the Department of Medicine at the University of Virginia, seeing in class- rooms, laboratories, and teachers a glimpse of what one can look forward to in medical school. Through our discussions we were made more conscious than ever that treatment of the physical alone is inadequate—that only through treatment of the entire personality ° is care sufficient. ...S.

Da ist es dann natuerlich, dass man nicht ganz die Verbindung mit dem alten europaeischen Wurzelboden verliert, sondern versucht, Sprache und Brauch, so gut es irgend geht, kennenzulernen, um sie als ein Stueck er- erbter Vergangenheit mit durchs Leben zu tragen.

Only Spanish class, however, has La Sociedad Espanola. Learning the native tongue of the Span- ish-speaking people is one thing; learning their customs, way of living, and cultural heritage is another. Lack of time in class periods prohibits the study of the culture. Since most of us are unable to learn about our Spanish-American neighbors by visit- ing them personally, our understanding of them is supplemented by La Sociedad Espanola. Pictures, records, tape record- ings, and reports by those who lived and worked with Spanish-speaking folk act as our bifocals, enlarging and making more clear our picture of Spanish-American life. Going to Spanish Society is not only interesting, but it becomes a_ beneficial learning experience. .. . CHARLES LONGENECKER Spanish Society John Miller, president; Samuel E.

The reason for this rush? Only the first forty-five who signed up could become members of the Home Economics Club. In October, Mrs. Motyca from Harrison- burg brought armloads of brilliant flowers and in no time at all created several artful arrangements. With the arrival of bleak November days our thoughts turned toward the warm hearthstone. The House Planning and Home Furnishing Class displayed their house models. They gave talks on plan- ning that dream home—its location, floor plan, furnishings, and color schemes. At Christmastime Miss Showalter gave us some good advice when she said, “This year give a part of yourself; give some- thing you have made.” We caught the spirit, and little boxes of homemade good- ies found their way to friends. ... Betty ANN BRUNK Unless we cultivate the art of history we shall be held by the shackles of history. If we come to the point where we truly know and understand what concepts our prede- cessors held, what issues they faced, what the influencing factors were, we can bene- fit by them. The problems of today are much the same as they always have been. Naturally, the world is becoming much more com- plex, but each generation faces the same conflict. Each must find its own solution to the problems. Just as the problem of church-state relationship always remains, so does the basic structure of other prob- lems. Men of the past were flesh and blood as we are. Although they had their triumphs, they also made mistakes. We must be taught by history. This is the aim of the Mennonite Historical Fellowship. ... ANNA PEACHEY John Shenk, president; Paul Peachey, spon- Sor Mennonite Historical Society 49 ‘ ie oar College Hikers Nature has a knack of mixing up some wonderful concoctions. I snooped in her cookbook and found this delightful recipe. You take a group of study-befuddled col- lege fellows, dump them into a truck, and mix them well with huge rolls of blankets until the truck reaches the mountains. There you let them have a real taste of out- door life—wake them up in the morning by chopping wood; tantalize them with the scent of frying bacon; give them a six-mile hike. After sending them home and rest- ing them a bit youll get the most amazing result—alert college students counting the days until the next hike. 50 = D.

King, sponsor; Alma Trumbo, chief lassie Highlanders It doesn't take a doctor to see those symptoms — wrinkled brows, perpetual headaches, little time for recreation, little time for creative thinking. Yes, it’s a fact; college life may become a bit of a grind. The remedy is better than sulfur and molasses and much more pleasant to take. It's simply a secluded meadow bordered by woods and creek—the perfect environ- ment for complete relaxation. The lively Smith-Z softball game, lukewarm soup, and weird campfire tales are certain to pro- duce restful sleep. And then how pleasant it is to awake to the ringing of nature’s alarm clock—the crow of a rooster! ... Mary Lapp bees Ae i 51 Athletic Association MENS TOURNAMENTS “Play ball!” the umpire cried, and play ball they did. On those September eve- nings following school fellows just natural- ly migrated to the softball diamond. In true American fashion, and due to the number who wanted to play, the tourna- ment was divided into the American and National leagues. The National league ended in a four-way tie while the Ameri- can was won by the New York Yankees. October ushered in the football and soc- cer seasons. After a great deal of passing, kicking, running, and blocking, the Cleve- land Browns under David Miller's quarter- backing took the title. On the soccer field John Herr’s Bobcats soon clawed their way to the top. In the realm of tennis rackets and balls LEFT TO RIGHT: Marian Swartz, Ellen Sla- baugh, Luke Drescher, John Musselman, Harold Lehman, Margaret Martin. Lowell Herr, a freshman, won the fall tour- nament by taking the crown from the de- fending champion, David Miller. The high-school champion was Glenn. Kauff- man, winning over Jesse Mack in sets of 6-0, 6-1, and 6-2. Once the winter months arrived the gymnasium became the center of interest. In the six-team volleyball loop Fred Ging- erich’s team ran away with the champion- ship. The basketball nets never remain still long, of course. Class teams competed against each other in tournament play. Ping-pong would rate high in any popu- larity poll of sports at E.M.C. Both high school and college had a ladder-type ping- pong tournament in which those lower challenge the higher. With the coming of spring came soft- ball and tennis tournaments again. All told 1954-55 was another great year in the field of sports at E.M.C. ... HENRY BENNER. LADIES TOURNAMENTS It’s not that we aren't busy with lessons, of course, but everyone needs some time for fun and relaxation. Softball, the first tcurnament of the year, proved to be an excellent opportunity for this. Here we di- vided into six teams, with eleven on each team. Team “5,” under the leadership of Mary Lapp, ended the tournament by be- ing victorious over team “1, captained by Shirley Heatwole. Volleyball provided indoor activity dur- ing the early fall months. Edna Slabach’s Sockers took over and claimed this tourna- ment by the score of 2-0. With December came the _ basketball tournament. Even some Special Bible Term girls found time to join us in playing. Ping-pong found the high-school girls joining the college in tournament play. Softball in the spring then ended our sports for the year. When school seems dull and studies are hard, there is real refreshment, and an op- portunity for friendly competition, in any of these activities. ... MARIAN SWARTZ Two more points for Herr? That championship grin. Clemmer tries to spike it. WE PLAY We play at E.M.C., too. Our college par- ents are concerned that we become com- plete men and women. Participation in sports is a part of our becoming. Tennis, soccer, softball, baseball, and basketball all find enthusiasts on the campus. Tournaments give lots of us experience in our favorite sports. Girls and fellows alike tangle in softball, basketball, and tennis. Bing, bing goes Everett's little bell and he follows with, “the Groundmoles will all turn out in white shirts for the four o'clock game. I have a strong suspicion a football game is about to be played. Or on the blackboard is scrawled, “Teams 1 and 3 play today,” and I know another basketball game will shortly put some team one notch toward the championship. But these are only a part of E.M.C.’s list of sports. The table-tennis area is almost constantly resounding to pinging and pongings. Winter weather brings its share of sledding, skiing—for the more adven- turesome—skating, and snowballing! Sure, we play at E.M.C. Why? Not to become champions primarily, not to find our names in “formal ink” in the newspa- per back home or the Weather Vane. We play because it’s fun. We play in order to work better for having played. ... E. CATHERINE ALGER It’s up! The question—Is it in? Large-scale strategy is in the offing.

President President Dear Graduates: Commencement marks the beginning of many personal testings in the long range of life experiences. All of you are enlisted in a spiritual conquest in which you “are more than conquerors. God is always ready to favor you with grace and peace. Those who love Him are assured of His providence. Those who confide in His will and purpose know that every experience will remain within His permission and power. There is no occasion in which the Christian cannot rely con- fidently on His grace. For daily needs Christ intercedes per- petually. In prayer requests the Holy Spirit lifts the deep meanings of Christian supplication to the level of Deity. Therein lies the strength to overcome evil and the right to receive the eternal inheritance. This hope we hold in pros- pect for you. We pray that you may enter into its fullness and joy. Sincerely, JoHN R. Mumaw CuHEsTeR K. LEHMAN, TH.D. Dean Director of High School Dear High School Seniors: I hope that your lives have been en- riched by meeting new friends, new teach- ers, new courses, new experiences in the classroom and on the playground. But the richest life results from intimate contact with your best Friend, the Lord Jesus Christ. In fact, without this intimate asso- ciation with Him, your lives will be bar- ren and unfruitful. As you leave school, you will face new problems and experiences. I hope that your faith has b een strengthened and that you have become more conscious of His abiding presence, and have yielded to His leading. Such a relationship will help you meet the issues of life, and fill your life with real joy. Sincerely, D. RaLpH HosTETTER Dean Dear Graduates of 1955: As a parting message let me commend to your meditation Paul’s imposing observa- tion, “We are his workmanship. Para- phrasing it, “We are God's poems.” How beautiful poems created in Christ Jesus must be! I covet for you the fulfillment of this reality. People read and memorize poems, are stimulated by their ideals, and seek to achieve their noble aspirations. With slight change of figure you will be “known and read by all men.” Recogniz- ing the holiness of your calling, lead a life worthy of this calling. And then the great- est incentive comes from the ultimate pur- pose of life which in Paul's words again runs, that we should be to the praise of his glory.” Sincerely, CHESTER K,. LEHMAN D.

Then, life at E.M.C. was strange; you were somewhat timid and very young. Since then, you have grown, developed, and ma- tured in many ways: This year, especially, has been of significance as you have worked and shared together in all the re- sponsibilities and privileges of being a sen- ior. In all this, the experiences of learn- ing have been of importance; these will not cease with graduation. However, the fu- ture will see more emphasis on service. As you go on in life, you will do more signifi- cant things than you have had opportunity to do in the past.

Senior Memories Yes, there was a feeling of strangeness at first, but that soon vanished. Today we remember friendships formed in class and on campus—remember someone saying, “How about a_ walk around the campus?” or perhaps, “The College Shoppe has a spe- cial on banana splits today. Let's go!” We remember Bernard saying, “Will the senior class please come to order? The first item of business today is .... There were many such meetings and many items of business—items such as our motto, the class poem; class gift, invitations, class program... We remember the bus and then the buildings of Washing- ton—Capitol, Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, Army Medical Museum. Or perhaps it was Brother Lehman saying, “We'll have to hurry back to the bus or well miss our chance at the aquarium.” 95 Senior Memories No senior will soon forget the evening our adviser, Brother Lehman, cleared the decks of — C-3 and entertained the seniors. Fun and games helped banish, for a while at least, all thoughts of Government and English as- signments. We will remember, too, the night of the senior formal. Best bib and tucker, shoes shined, polished manners, and that big smile for one’s best friend made this a truly bright spot. But the day we remember best was that day in June—the line- up, the matching of steps, the procession to the final diploma .... Pomp and circumstance? No. The beginning of new ad- ventures, Certificates Your stay at E.M.C. has been a short one. For some of you this past year was an orientation to college experi- ences in a foreign land; for the others it was an oppor- tunity for further training in your vocational choice. These educational experi- ences have contributed in further qualifying you to serve as part of the universal witness of Jesus Christ. By planning your future under divine guidance, you will be able to play your part in building a better world. ... [RA E.

We were not sitting idly by, twiddling our thumbs during the first semester; we were busy too, studying at other schools or working at our jobs. All the people, places, and things that make up E.M.C. have given us a warm wel- come and have made us a part of this wonderful col- lege. Were glad we came. ... Lots CRESSMAN 97.

The chapel doors opened; inside were teachers; the sixty-one learned of personal work, teacher training, and child study. Dormitory and dining room doors opened; regular stu- dents and the sixty-one became acquainted —became friends. Bus doors opened; the sixty-one conquered the peak, shivered at Natural Bridge, sang in the corridors of Massanutten Caverns.

Millions of dol- lars are spent each year to improve busi- ness, medical, and teaching techniques. It is our conviction that the need of the world is basically a spiritual one. We believe it is the task of the church to interpret God's revelation to every generation and accept our responsibility in helping to do it. Therefore, whether we are studying Biblical Theology, Greek, Hebrew, Homi- letics, or Church History, we are con- cerned that it enable us to contribute to this spiritual need of society. Here in grad- uate school we study, pray, and fellowship together in an effort to enhance our useful- ness for God and the church. ... ELMER S.

We feel at home in your fellowship. We come from different backgrounds and countries and races, but when we talk together the other one’s country becomes alive in our minds. No longer is Trans- jordan a pink blot on the map; we get a glimpse of its life through the person. Yes, we feel at home here.
