Three students entered for the complete work-Susie Guilf, Ezra Meier, and Herbert Diller: while Lois Steinman. Helen Oyer. Chris Gerig, and William Hygema enrolled for part of the classes. Dr. Beatrice Morton, who was graduated from the Bible Music course in 1926. is a special graduate student. She has now completed the regular Bible course and receives her diploma on commencement day. Although the regular Post Graduate class is small in number. the course is prov- ing of inestimable value to each member. One student said that if the training re- ceived at the Bible Training School be compared to a shock of wheat. the Post Grad- uate course is the cap sheaf. A line of studies has been selected that will be most practical and beneficial in the homeland or in the foreign tield. The small class has many advantages. Learners and teachers are drawn into closer contact, and the student is more free to ask questions. Some heart-to-heart discussions have been so interesting and so blessed that Mr. Hvgema has been heard to exclailn, Is that clock right? XVe'll have to dismiss and iinish the lesson next time. However, since there are so few in the class. the xvise student never fails to have prepared lessons. After one has been out of school and seen the vastness of the need in the world. as well as his own insuticiciency to meet the demands of that need. it is a blessed privilege to come back to the dear old Bible Training School and sit at the Masters feet for one more year.

le 1 l 1 i 3 1 zmior Clays History As the autumn of 1927 approached, we, a group of twenty-nine young people, having felt the need of a better and more thorough understanding of the XVord of God, found ourselves led toward the Bible Training' School at Fort VVayne. lVe were a motley group. presenting a variety of personalities and possibilities. How to fully realize these possibilities. and how. by the help of God, to properly prepare ourselves for them, have been our problems ever since we came here. XVe are learning the solution, for He is daily teaching us invaluable lessons-some froln books and some from experience. His lVord is unfolding to us and holds for us a greater depth of meaning than before. lVe have read His commission, Go ye into all the worldf' we hear the cry from every part of the earth, Come over and help us. Now we are studying that we may bring to the needy world the Christ who satisfies. Life here has not been dull. 'l'o conform to the rules of an institution is not the easiest thing: while we hope that no rules have been broken, we fear that some have been badly bent. 'l'hen, too. to observe the eccentricities of others and one's own peculiarities is a source of unending interest. Nine of our number had taken the l'reparatory course the previous year. Since the beginning of this year, six of our members have for various reasons found it necessary to discontinue their studies: now we number twenty-three. The class offl- cers are: Harvey L. Mitchell, President: Naomi Roth. Secretary: and jared Gerig. Treasurer. XVe appreciate our instructors and fellow-students. who have been an inspiration to us by their exemplary lives: and we earnestly desire that His Spirit may contin- ually abide with them and make them a blessing lo others. jill' A 2 5 lf Ere, fl 35 e - ,,4.,U,L,, 3.2-'fT:QTx'i?', ezefzi C' i .-T.-.li
