. . ,, -,, Senior Hz'5!0ry The halls of the B. T. in the fall of 1925, welcomed the advent of an eager group of preparatory students, sixteen in number. During the first semester two dropped out. but for the second term tive new students joined our group. This class entered at once into the spirit and fellowship of the school. The fall of 1926 brought a noble group of thirty-two Juniors, twenty of whom were new students. XVe were made to feel at home and welcome by the rest of thc student body, and soon added our zeal and fervor to the school life. In our junior year we were mustered into the practical work conducted under the direction of the School, and appreciated the privilege of working for the Lord. and of sharing with others some of the blessings we were constantly receiving. Toward the end of the school year the class organized that it might be a help to the Seniors in the many duties which come during commencement week. The oflicers elected were as follows: l'resident, Quinton Everest: Secretary, Margaret Ogden: Treasurer, Clarence Zimmerman. September of 1927 brought a joyful group of Seniors back to those walls made sacred by the association of many blessed memories. After several weeks had passed we held a class meeting and reelected the previous officers for their respective positions. In this meeting it was decided to edit a yearbook-the Iirst one in the history of the ll. T. S., and accordingly we elected a capable editorial staff. This staff immediately set to work and soon had things organized and plans laid for etiicient work. From the iirst we decided to have class prayer meetings on Tuesday night of each week. These proved to be times of fellowship and spiritual blessing to each one and were well attended throughout the year. VVith the advent of the second semester we welcomed another member to our group, which made our number total twenty-eight. Our days were well crowded, but with the Lord's help, we satisfactorily completed the work before us, and at the end received the award-our diplomas, In our class all graduated from the Bible Course except Mrs. B. A. Martens and Miss Mildred Iiicher, who graduated from the Bible Music Course. VVe have been gathered from a wide territory of the United States and Canada s-from Hoosierdom and the neighboring' states. as well as from the rugged north- west. the far southwest, and the sunny south. Indeed, one of our number was born in India. However, our spirits have blended in fellowship in a delightful way. and splendid cooperation has been shown in the classg in fact, without this it would have been impossible to accomplish anything. The history of our class is hnishedg our student days are ended. XVe stand upon the threshold of a new day. Some of our number have heard the Master's call to India, some to Africa, others to South America, and still others to Palestine. Doors of opportunity and service here at home have been opened to some of the group. XVher- ever the Lord may lead, it is our prayer that each one shall obtain God's best, and that we may live as true Servants of Christ. -oo'-'t 7'-----'i - 15
