1 4 Q a BONEITA GERTRUDE PYLE EAST LIVERPOOL, OHIO A.B. - Education Ability doth hit the mark where presumption ovefrfshooteth and dijidence falleth short. Secretary Junior Class '31g Secretary Breseean Society Second Semester '51g Student Teacher '31g Orchestra '31, '32g Honor Society '31g Fire Squad '31, Faculty Scholarship '31g Associations Editor NAUT1Lus '32g Supervisor Study Hall '32g Chairman Program Committee Oxford Society '32g Chorus '32, 'LBonnie the irrepressible. Now a mischievous twinkle and a fascinating flow of speechg now a businesslike firmness and an unmistakable purpose. Her gaiety never fails and she is a neverfending source of excitement. Creative imagination coupled with plenty of enthusiasm has made her a very desirable member of decoration and program committees. Nor is this vivacf ity confined to extrafcurricular activities aloneg for i'Bonnie', is one of our best students, and her charm and talent as an elocutionist are well known among us. Her neatness of appearance and firmness of step suggest the qualifications essential to her chosen profession. And the ability which she has already shown in teaching in public schools in Ohio and in the primary department of our local Sunday school makes us confident in prophesying for her a most successf ful career as a teacher. ELLA MAY STRICKLAND WARREN, PA. A.B. - Theology We shape ourselves the joy or fear of which the coming life is made. Miss Strickland seems to most of us a part of E. N. C., for she has gained practically all of her education here. She has worked hard for her cap and gown. Her life at college has been somewhat different from that of the ordinary graduate, for in the task of earning her expenses as she went she sacrificed much of college life. But we have found her to be a friend who appreciates a friend, a devoted Christian whose life is wholly consecrated to her Savior, a hard worker who does not hesitate to do the most menial tasks, and a diligent student who through perseverance has mastered her Theology, Mathematics, and Languages. Her everfready testimony and prayer, together with her passion for the heathen in Africa, will always remain in our memory. We shall miss Ella May next year. 22

J . T MARION RHODA MANCHESTER A A A JOHNSON, VT. - A.B. - English Prudence and wisdom to direct her wit. Lyceum '30, Salmagundi Circle '31g VicefPresident College Department ,323 VicefPresident Munro Society '32. In Marion we have found all that is helpful, sane, and good. Confidence is never misplaced if entrusted to her, for her judgment is sound, her nature cheery, and her heart purely unselnsh. Idleness does not at all belong to herg each class finds her wellfprepared and intelligently interf ested, and her offfcampus duties take up all her spare time. At the librarians desk she is dignif fied, firm, or kindly as the occasion demands. Her prayers encourage, her example inspires, while her utter sincerity and dependability have won for her the esteem and respect of the faculty as well as the friendship of the students. And if you wish an appreciative listener to story or joke you can find one in Marion. As she goes out to begin her teaching career, we shall miss her presence, but not her helpful influence. DEXTER WARD ALBRIGHT SPRINGFIELD, MASS. A.B. - Theology Lord, give me hills to climb, and strength for climbing. Editor Green Book '28, VicefPresident N. Y. P. S. '28g Assistant Superintendent Sunday School '29g President Amphictyon Council '29g President Student Council '31, Treasurer Senior Classg VicefPresident Philosophical Society '32, Band '29, '31, Basketball '28, '29, '32. Among the things we cannot understand is how the city of Springheld manages to get along while Ward Albright is at E. N. C. Perhaps it is because he winds things up down there on his weekfends enough so that they keep going until he can get back. Be that as it may, we are glad that we have had this spiritual dynamo in our midst for four years. For Ward has indeed been a power at E. N. C. His exhortations have awakened us, his enthusiasm has buoyed us up, his prayers have touched the skies. The religious life of the college will suffer a distinct loss when june takes him away from us. But there is another side to be considered. In Springfield there is a Nazarene Church, and it has called Ward to be its pastor. And -let us whisper it -in Springfield there is a lass, and she has . . . God's blessing upon you, Ward, in everything you do! -4 21 F.-

Y 7 V' l VIOLET MIRIAM BALDUF BINGHAMTON, N. Y. A.B. - English O, who can forget the mild light of her smile? Orchestra '29, '30, '31, '32, Honor Society '30, Secretary Sophomore Class '30, Faculty Scholarship '31, At first we think of Violet as fluttering here and there with a graceful impetuosity, or resting long enough to give vent to her lyrical nature on the guitar or violin. But beneath this exterior of caprice and fancy is Violet herself - the self that readily asserts itself when the need demands. As we have come to know her better we find her a diligent worker, an excellent student, and a faith' ful adherent to her resolutions. She well deserves her place on the honor roll because her four years at E. N. C. have demanded sacrifice and persistent effort for their completion. Her testimonies are invariably similes drawn from her imaginative powers to illustrate the reality of Christian experif ence. Her intelligent love of books augurs success in her desired profession - the librarianship. HELEN ELISABETH BROWN DANIBLSON, CoNN. A.B. - English Her conduct regular, her mirth refined. Student Teacher '30, '31, '32, Editor Green Book '30, Secretary Breseean Society Second Semester '30, Literary Editor NAUTILUS '31, Chairman Program Committee Breseean Society '31, President Oxford Society '32, VicefPresident Student Council '32, Basketball '30, '31, '32, Betty, the student teacher, conducts her class with the ease and dignity of a school ma'am , Betty, the student, keeps the best of us busy to equal her good grades, Betty, the classmate, is most likable and entertaining. lrresistibly droll at times, her snappy retorts and expressive gestures are in turn challenging and amusing. However, we listen in silence as she recites some famous piece of literature from the platform, or we repress sighs of inferiority as she rattles off bits of her own composition. She welcomes the opinions of others, this attitude, by seasoning her own convictions and guiding her actions, has helped to make her the success she has been at E. N. C. Chalrnliing, clever, and capable, she is certain to be successful in her chosen field, the teaching of Eng 's .
