Va ' A The world's greatest Teacher once said that to really live we must give away our lives. Taking this as their standard our professors have given their years and life energies in invaluable service to the school and to us personally. How fitting our motto is-Cul- ture for Service. Service is not an easy goal for it demands much and often appears to give little in return, but ambitious youthfind it a challenging, purposeful one that gives an enduring Worth to life. Uur professors and administrators demonstrate by their lives the actuality of prolonged service. Buildings may deteriorate, but service is alive forever. Service DEDICATION . . . PROFESSOR JOHN S. UMBLE John Sylvanus Umble was born near Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, on February 16, 1881. The years of his service to the Mennonite Church have been highly beneficial to its young people. His interest and efforts for our well being and happiness continue today, and we who are directly influenced take this opportunity to express our appreciation to him with this issue of The Maple Leaf. At Goshen College we are receiving the fruit of John Umble's long and extensive educational experience, both as a student and a teacher. His training includes Kingscreek High School, Ohiog Elkhart Institute, University of Wooster: Goshen College: North- western University, University of Chicago, Garret Biblical Seminary: University of Coloradog and the University of Minnesota. B. A and M. A. degrees were received at Northwestern University. In 1910 European travel and study were undertaken. His Fields of study have been German, Latin, speech, English, and literature. This prepara- tion led to teaching in an Ohio elementary school: Northwestern University: Mt. Vernon High School, Indianag South High School, Akron, Ohio, and Goshen College. Such a record cannot portray his character, but it does indicate the rich background that we benefit from academically. At present Professor Umble teaches English and literature. He also takes a keen interest in the debate activities of the college. He is secretary of the college. But his activities also include a broader' service in the form of historical writing His studies and contributions fill a niche in this area. At his home on the corner of College Avenue and Main Street, Professor Umble pursues his hobbies of gardening and photography. His granddaughters are a favorite subject for his camera. The rock garden and lawn plantings you see when passing by are the work of his hands. But john Umble will often come over to his college office or the library, for more study and writing that will aid and inspire young people. We dedicate this issue of The Maple Leaf to John Umble, a friend and helper of youth. page twelve 1 i Q y- xv 'Q' ,,...4.-.-w....,..-.-..- . Y Y 1 Y Y 1 Y 1 .Qu 1 X '- wr '- .xn - X X , QL, r ' 'L 5.

We have them standing at our doors knocking for admission. We house them in basements and sleep them in tiers and we provide traffic lanes to pass them through our crowded halls. A staff already overburdened with many responsibilities is asked to take time to help students to Find themselves in terms of vocation, belief about God, and attitude to the Church. It is time now to direct a larger share of the resources of the Church to meet the needs of the young men and women who are on our campuses seeking help and guidance. There are two main tasks before the Christian church. The one consists in calling out from the page lourreen ERNEST E. MILLER President and Professor of Education Ph. D., New York ROM OUR world and maintaining a body of believers who will live together in a Christ-like way. The other task consists in the commitment to the service and salvation of the unsaved world on the part of those so called out and maintained. It is the duty of our schools as institutions of the Church to help carry out that program. To the extent to which we succeed in doing this we may be considered worthy. In this respect we have not done all that we should but our graduates are serving the Church today in many ways in many parts of the world. The Mennonite Church of the future exists in our present young people, full of energy and vigor, potentially ready for guidance into consecration for the tasks that lie ahead. -Ernest E. Miller CARL KREIDER Dcan and Professor of Economics Ph. D,, Princeton H. S. BENDER Dean of the Seminary and Professor of Church History Th. D.. Heidelberg ADMINISTRATION... Never has a college student faced such bound- less opportunities for selfish gain on the one hand nor such dire human need on the other. The secularism of our age creates a desire for personal aggrandizement and stimulates an in- terest in securing it. True Christian culture, on the contrary, clearly establishes Christian serv- ice as the true end of life and commands obedience to it. Pursuit of personal gain yields transitory beneiits to the individual, but it often works contrary to the best interests of the world community. Christian service sometimes creates temporary difficulties and disappointments. In the end, however, it leads to integration of the individual personality and to the glorious world goal of advancing the Kingdom of God. Thomas Carlyle once reminded his readers that in each of us dwells a coward and a hero. We live in a day that demands the greatness that comes through shunning the cowardly acceptance of the norms of a materialistic civilization and ac- cepting the challenge of heroism through Chris- tian service. -Carl Kreider A truly liberal education must mean primarily the development of ideals and appreciations. To this basic task all else is secondary. In college, and certainly in the Christian college, we build the faith men live by, however much we also create skills and tools. But this process carries a grave danger, that we confuse intellectualiza- tion with life, and make thought the equivalent of action. To propose ideals without commit- ment is dangerous. This Hnal and unrestricted commitment of life to the highest is the crown- ing glory of the Christian college. May it be the glory of Goshen College. -H. S. Bender page fifteen FACULTY SAMUEL W.

Diligent students success- fully combine academic and extra-curricular activities. Scholarship is of major importance and well informed students are necessary for world progress. However, the practical part of academic achievement is perhaps too much emphasized. We find ourselves losing the worth of true scholarship which lies in the realization that learning is good in itselfg that by delving into the rich stores of knowl- edge we are building our souls up to greater heights of appreciation and worthiness. Long after books are sold and notes are filed true scholarship remains.

THE CLASS OF There was a war on in the autumn of 1943. It was something the freshmen didn't talk about much, because it wasn't pleasant. But the consciousness of it was there, all the time. There were the news reports and the letters. There were the questions, Will I finish this semester before . . One by one the fellows left. Twenty-two people who began that fall graduate now in june, 1947. All of them are women. They will not forget the accelerated program or the thread-worn comments by visiting speakers on the three-to-one ratio. They will remember world significant events in the light of their own ex- periences-wondering what President Roosevelt's death would mean to the world and how histor- ians of the future would interpret it, wondering what life in an atomic age would be like. But V-E and V-J days came at last, and the class of '47 began to feel post-war changes along with the rest of America. Goshen College was growing. Men who had given their peace testimony in CPS were back on the campus. School teachers and students from other colleges and countries joined them. There was an element of maturity in the class of 1947. They had lived through a war. This class will be remembered for many things. In the autumn of 1946 they left the campus waving at their junior friends. There was no longer any sneak to the sneak. Three students from foreign countries graduate in its ranks, representing Holland, Argentina, and Puerto Rico. Four of its members are in the first group of American Mennonite students to spend a summer in Europe. At least five will be on the relief or mission fields a few months after graduation. Many of them have served in CPS or have acted as sea-going cowboys. One class member has served for many years as a missionary in China and Tibet and now graduates with his grand nephew, a young minister. More than one junior alumnus will be in the audience at commencement to watch daddy get a sheepskin , This class will be remembered for many things! At a time when currents in American thinking, art, literature, and science are largely pagan, what will this class contribute? Its members believe that the Sermon on the Mount should be lived. They believe in Christ and the Bible, They believe in evangelism and in simple living. What will they be and do? That story is written in the future. page twenty-eight 3 L , ! . , -5 '. ' 1 , Hb .

In 1942 we five , among others, registered at Goshen College as freshmen. Most of us continued to- gether throughout four years. On May 20, 1946, we reached a climax, our graduation day. Most of our class are now in active service using the experience acquired in college. But we came back for more. Increased knowledge and ex- perience have made us even more zealous. Now another commence- ment arrives, and our college days are over. We hope we may leave as enthusiastic ambassadors for Christ. page forty-three THE CLASS OF 'FORTY EIGHT Left to right: Pauline Clemens, Secretaryg Mary Ann Hostetler, Historian: Doris Moyer, Treasurer: Jacob Sudermann, Sponsor: john W. Miller, Vice-President: David Shank, President. The members of the class of '48, numbering 87 strong, hail from every corner of the U. S., from California to Pennsylvania, Minnesota to Arkansas, from seven foreign countries on four conti- nents. The varied viewpoints of these members were needed and used in class projects ranging from the Maple Leaf and junior-Senior Banquet to a boat party on the dam. As different as our backgrounds may be, as diverse as our interests are, we are united by a common purpose-we are preparing to serve and thereby realize more deeply the timely meaning of our college motto: Culture for Service.

'FORTY NINE Left to right: Phyllis Sprunger, treasurer: Emma Sommers, secre- tary: Richard Short, president: Lois Gunden, sponsor: Betty Habeggar, historian: Myron Ebersole, vice-president. With the arrival of autumn one hundred sixteen students made their arrival on the campus and together made up the Sophomore class of 1947. Thirty-two former members did not return, but there were many new additions. This was especially noticeable when the year started off with a Sadie Hawkins party. With the ice broken, the Sophomores continued the year, active in social affairs and athletics-and especially Sophomore theses and tests. With those behind them they feel ready to take the big step towards being upper-classmen. Memories of this year and the good friends made will last forever.

They say we're to take tests for the next few days. Seems like they're trying to break us in early. Where do we eat? Are you going to the Freshman outing tomor- row? It's going to take us all day to register with a line like this! Where does Civ meet? Our elder brothers and sisters, the upper-classmen, arrive. Classes begin. Literaries present solicitation programs. Just watch the literaries light over us! The Freshman Banquet held in a candle-lighted dining hall. Thanksgiving. . . a short period of scheduled in- dolence in the form of a well programmed week- end. Christmas vacation . . . two weeks of much appreciated intellectual inactivity. The time passes quickly. Our return to school in january is characterized by a Renaissance revival of learn- ing which continues for two weeks only. This movement reaches its peak just before exams, after which it takes a sharp decline. Athletics . . . our strong point. All our rnan power proves that freshmen aren't so inex- perienced after all.

SUMMER SCHOOL WI TER BIBLE SCHOOL The Winter Bible School offers a chance for those who are unable to attend the College during the entire school year an opportunity to eventu- ally complete a course of study of three six- weeks' periods covering three years, in Bible. Early in the second semester the student body is augmented by several dozen young people from back home who enthusiastically enter into their schoolwork and extracurricular activities. This year a mixed chorus composed of Winter Bible School students practiced regularly and pre- sented a program. The basketball team came very close to winning the College basketball tournament, losing by a close score in the championship play-off. At the end of the six weeks term, the School presented a public pro- gram, which included closing ceremonies for the year. Most students return again, after first ex- periencing a term of Winter Bible School. This year's enrollment totaled sixty-two. WINTER BIBLE SCHOOL TEA.

W M mf- 4 Thoughtful youth, confused by modern life's turmoil, seek a foundation for their future. Nations fall, great men fail, strength falters - nothing is sure, until they surrender to a believing faith. True faith is centered in a personality, and Christ is the only Person- ality worthy of being its center. This faith, the theme of Goshen College life, is an en- during force. To have neglected the central emphasis of the college is to have lost the greatest value of its contacts. But to have made this faith vital in victorious living is to have found magnificent treasures - an unfaltering mind, an unshrinking nerve, and an unselfish heart. Fai h ii Left to right: Mary K.

YOUNG PEOPLES' CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION The Y represents the student body of Goshen College. It is not the representative of a number of small groups, but it is the or- ganization of one well-rounded, unified body under the motto To know Christ, and to make Him known. Those who have served in the various positions this year have appreciated the fine spirit and cooperation of the increased number of students. In September the Y Cabinet and its spon- sors went to the annual Y retreat for a time of fellowship and spiritual refreshment. In the evening meeting Nelson Litwiller gave the challenge The times are for spiritual con- quest! to the group. In this spirit the YPCA cabinet started on a year of carrying forward the ac- tivities of a Christ-centered campus. Each Goshen College student is directly influenced by the spirit the Y fosters in the daily campus activities. A larger, more diversified student body calls for a broadened scope of influential contacts and faultless sincerity. This was a year of earnest Christian living, and learning the unity there is in Christ. The Goshen College YPCA with its commit- tees is like a wheel with a number of cogs. Each cog has a definite place and work. To make a year run smoothly this work must be done faith- fully. The Membership Committee starts the year by Welcoming the students. They publish and distribute convenient handbooks, keep track of the service each Y member does, and take the responsibility for Big Sisters and Heart Sisters Week. They make the students acquainted with the school. The Social Committee endeavors to make the students acquainted with each other. This year the streamlined Homecoming was a credit to the Y . Parties and serenades add vim to a school year, and the social committee is the power behind the fun. To help the students get acquainted with God could be called the aim of the Devotional Com- mittee. They worked effectively through the Thursday chapels and prayer meetings, devo- tional booklets, Bible Study Classes, and de- votional music at breakfast. In order to foster the acquaintance of the students with the churches, the Church and School Relations Committee sent representa- tives to conferences last summer, sponsored a page fifty-eight TOK OW contest for contributions to church publica- tions, planned the Gospel team tours and non- conformity week, and helped with the Men- nonite Youth Fellowships. The Extension Committee is one of the most vital cogs. It is the students' service outlet. This year the usual services of mission Sunday Schools and visitation were continued and new projects were sponsored such as the Home De- partment and two new mission areas, one in Dunlap and the other near Ligonier. The mission drive for funds is the major activity of the Mission Study Committee, and this year it was an overwhelming success. Also throughout the year a bulletin board was kept supplied with mission information. Service by way of relief projects in clothing and money contributions was part of the Service Committee's work. Fire equipment was checked also, and clean-up day directed. The cogs of the YPCA machine needed the oil of financial backing. The Finance Commit- tee, through a drive early in the year, provided these funds and administered them the rest of the time. Surley the YPCA is a vital machine geared to the best possible service to the school!

Eleven pro- grams were given. From Elida. through Holmes County to North Lima, the hospitality was as warm as the heaterless car was cold. Memories include icy roads, attentive audiences, and good food. The team that visited Iowa, Minnesota, and Illinois held twelve services and traveled 2,000 miles. The mixed quartet, speaker and chauffeur each had a part in these services. Car trouble and a blizzard could not dim the effects of welcoming congregations and uplifting ex- periences. December 27 - january 7 the Vesper quartet with j. Otis Yoder toured Pennsylvania between Carlisle and Blooming Glen, making eighteen appearances. The quar- tet not only sang, but aided in the devotional part of the programs, Interesting contacts were made including a visit to the college at Grantham. The quartet with Richard Showalter toured the most extensively. Making a circuit of Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Virginia, and Pennsylvania, they covered 4,000 miles in eighteen days, High spots were Gulfport, two davs at E. M. S., and a southern Christmas.

The Sun- day School has increased steadily in size until now the average attendance is between 100 and 110. Every avenue of Gospel presentation possible is used. This includes the boy's and girl's Saturday afternoon clubs, the Sun- shine Club , the junior Bible Hour which meets while the adults have prayer service, and the monthly Children's Church. In November the Mission Sunday School was organized into a church with Paul Miller as superintendent and Amos Bauman of East Goshen as Sunday School superintendent. Summer Bible School last year exceeded all expectation and plans are made for another one this summer. In- creasingly more of the local members are being used in the church work.

SEMINARY FELLOWSHIP page sixty-Iour A student in the Goshen College Biblical Seminary soon finds that preparation for the ministry involves a broad and varied Held of academic pursuit. Biblical literature, Greek, church history, exegesis, and study of practical methods all demand his attention. In the midst of this intense educational process, one feels the need for evaluation of one's spiritual growth in relation to new academic attainment. Therefore, the students of the Biblical Seminary maintain an organization called the Seminary Fellowship. Here is a unique group of students, called to the ministry, who use a specific period of their preparation in sharing their experience in mutual fellowship. Their meetings have educational value, but they learn through worship. Yet more important is the spirit of inspiration and consecration arising when the church's leaders touch the minds and souls of its future ministers. The first meeting of the organization each year is at the college cabin. The members meet together for a Fellowship Supper after which the Dean of the Seminary addresses the group. Each new member tells of his call to service. Bi-weekly programs of worship and discussion are held throughout the year. Paul Erb spoke on the significance of the special session of General Con- ference, 1946. The challenge of the mission field was presented by J. D. Graber, secretary of the Mission Board, and Nelson Litwiller. J. C. Wenger led discussions on theological problems. This organization gives a rich contribution to the Seminary student in instruction and inspiration which will be of practical value in carrying out the commission that comes with His call. REVIVAL MEETINGS, PAUL ERB. BISHOP YODER GREETS HIS CONGREGATION. CCLLEGE CONGREGATION For many of our students the local College Mennonite Church is their church home while in school. We all are invited to share in this fellowship, and those who do feel entirely at home. Here is a warm, friendly, serving congrega- tion, which is ably led by Bishop Sanford C. Yoder, Deacon Levi Hartzler, and Ministers C. L. Graber, I. E. Burk- hart, and E. E. Miller. Frequent visitors from other Mennonite pulpits and ministers from among our college group help throw added light on God's Word. Like all Mennonite congregations, the College Church contributed heavily to the peace witness of relief and C.P.S. during the war. It continues to sup- port the vitally important Mennonite relief program, both through money and personnel. Mission needs are likewise a prime responsibility. A mission Sunday School, Sewing Circle, and other activities offer chan- nels for all members' service in the community and within their fellowship. A mutual aid plan for the congregation has been put into operation this year. Building plans and solicitation for a College Church cabin are under way. We as students benefited thoroughly by joining the congregation in the revival meetings led by Paul Erb. We are away from our clear home churches, but dur- ing that time especially we felt the Christian unity that warms and strengthens our hearts.

MISSIONARY OFFSPRING, IN COSTUME. FOREIGN MISSIONS FELLOWSHIP page sixty-six Shall the harvest spoil for want of harvestrnen? Shall the world go on in ignorance and darkness when you might assist in enlightening it? Listen, then, to the call. Pray for divine guidance. Think and think again on the question. Do not mistake cowardice and indolence for humility. Consider how brief is the span of life, how short the moment of separation from friends, and how great the joy which is set before you. Each of the members of the Foreign Missions Fellowship has either heard this call or stands ready to hear it. The purpose of the organization is to unite in fellowship such students, who are one in interest, purpose and destination. The monthly meetings have varied this year. At the first meeting when President Miller, sponsor of the group, spoke, approximately one hundred new members were taken into the Fellowship. The next month the group met informally in the Home Ec. lab with all the foreign missionaries of the surrounding communities. Many strange cos- tumes were worn, and there were interesting talks and pictures. Later programs included group studies of Puerto Rico, India, China and Argentina, and talks by I. Ben Wati of Assam, Helen Moser, relief worker to India, and Myrtle Anderson, missionary from Nigeria. The talks were informational, intensely interest- ing, and above all challenging to the group. CHRISTIAN WORKERS BAND E Left to right: John Hess, president: Gladys Stolzfus, Fifth member: Ruth Bean, secretaryg Orley Swartzen- truber, vice-president: Paul Mininger, sponsor Cnot picturedj. SUNDAY MORNING MEETING. This year again the Christian Workers' Band has endeavored to impress its members with their responsibility in overcoming the spiritual dearth of the world today. Open doors to service were pointed out and discussed. As the group met each Sunday morning, they were made aware of the importance of personal soul winning and the centrality of Christ in Christian endeavor. They were challenged to visualize the import of their motto The Evangelization of the World , and to become vitally instrumental in the realization of that goal. . To be a dynamic Christian worker one must himself have a convincing, contagious experience. Then, too, he must know how to witness. Personal Evangelism , The Christian Worker's Approach , and The Power of Intercessory Prayer were a few of the subjects treating this phase of Christian service. At 6:25 every Wednesday morning, the Band met to pray for the needs of the world and to ask God for the guidance of His Spirit as they prepare to take their place as workers on the campus and beyond. The good seed has been sown and it is hoped that the future church will reap the harvest of leaders with vision, missionaries on foreign fields and missionaries at home, pastors, evangelists, social workers, teachers, and executives who will seek to advance the cause of Christ. page sixty-seven f' ,I ,vs- . i- : ' X . f I Y 1 , I ng-..

The give and take of responsibilities and fun in campus activities fashions friendships which broaden the personality and enrich the post- college years. The lasting ties of friendship woven through with hopes and fears is not a mere fiction for a college song. For instance, many happy families exemplify the lasting quality of such friendships. The influences and rewards of Christian friendships are immeasurable. By sharing fears and doubts we conquer themg by sharing joy and love we nurture them. Goshen College serves as the firm bond of innumerable comradeships. lfirien ship CAPPELLA CHORUS In September fifty-six upperclassmen received their places in the A Cap- pella Chorus, anticipating an excellent year. First important appearances were on Thanksgiving at the Congregational Christian Church and the High School auditorium. At Christmas time the annual rendition of the Messiah was given along with the other choruses. For the first time since 1941 the chorus made a long tour during spring vacation. Programs were presented in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Ontario. The year was climaxed with the presentation of Haydn's Creation and then The Holy City at Commencement time.

One prime reason for the organization is that the student body is just too large to fit into only two singing groups. Also, the Choral Society voices are often those that need understanding, training, and encouragement. The Society presented a creditable public program, but perhaps its greatest value lies in the Field of voice preparation and training. The finer the quality of the Collegiate and A Cappella organizations, the broader base they must have in a corps of potential vocalists who are already in training. In the future, the Choral Society can easily assume an enlarged and vital position in the college musical program. And yet, ask any member why he practices so faith- fully by attending rehearsals, and he'll say that great truth, It's fun to sing! SPANISH CLUB El Ateneo Espanol, under the advisorship of Miss Gunden, has given to each member this year a better opportunity to hear, think, and speak the Spanish language. The larger enrollment in the club and the increase of foreign students on the campus opened a wider Held of activity. The monthly programs were designed to develop within each member an active interest in Spanish culture and a desire to become better acquainted with Spanish-speaking peoples. To insure everyone's tak- ing part at every meeting, the roll call was answered in some special manner and the club as a whole learned Spanish songs. Games, speeches by foreign students giving their first impressions of America, films on Guadalupe and Cuernavaca, songs by a trio from Puerto Rico, and talks on Spanish Art formed part of the year's activities. Skits, both timely and amusing, were sometimes given by the students themselves. These skits created enthusiasm among the partici- pators and gave the listeners a chance to become familiar with the Spanish tongue. The Christmas season saw the members cooperating with the French and German clubs in the presentation of a three-act play, Christmas Awakening. The Spanish act por- trayed the influence of one's Christian personality upon the lives of other university students. An interesting lecture by Dean Hartzler on Spanish Culture challenged students to a deeper sympathy for the cultural heritage of the Spanish- speaking peoples. MONTHLY MEETING.

The purpose of the club is to give each member a deeper en- joyment of the French language, music, literature and art, and an acquaintance with the way of life of the French people. Monthly meetings are held under the sponsorship of Miss Lois Gunden, as- sistant professor in French. Program high lights of this year included an address by President Miller in which he shared with us his experiences in France during the pre- vious summer. At the joint public program by the language clubs, Act II of Christmas Awakening depicting the childhood days of a skeptical uni- versity student was presented by members of the club. Characters included John Howard Yoder, gary Eleanor Bender, Lois Buckwalter, and Dick hort. To show the club's interest in the French people the club members decided to undertake a project for the French children. One hundred dollars was donated and sent to the Save the Children Fed- eration by whom it was used to purchase supplies for eight months. The interesting letters from these children have given an insight into the life of French children today. With an increased enthusiasm due to a larger membership which includes our foreign students, this ycar's activities of songs, contests, talks, and musical numbers will be remembered as making a worth-while contribution to our quest for learn- ing and culture. CHRISTMAS EVE IN FRANCE. GERMAN 'CLUB A Pennsylvania-Dutch decorated cabin presented a hearty welcome to the members of the German Club this fall. Many of us will not forget the stories of der Pihwie und Die Bortsche Rutsch which were ably told us in Pennsylvania Dutch by Gawain Koch. At this meeting new and old mem- bers received ribbons denoting the number of years they have been in the German Club. At Christmas time we were reminded that Christmas was for all people the world over as we joined the Spanish and French clubs to present Christmas Awakening. just as people from far and wide have found Christmas to be a new experience in their lives, so Theobald renewed his faith in the Light that is our life and our all. The Spring's main ac- tivity centered around the annual poetry interpreta- tion contest. First year scholars and intermediate- advanced students worked on separate poems. A dis- tinguished panel of faculty judges gives added values to well-earned prizes. MONTHLY MEETING: CROSSWORD PUZZLE KGERMANJ.

Discussion has been abundant, and of high order, so that practically every student has become aware of some of the controversial ques- tions under examination. Formal debate centered around the national collegiate question for this year: Resolved: Labor Should Have A Direct Share In The Management Of In- dustry. ' Team membership varied during the season, but at the tournament at Indiana State Teachers' at Terre Haute the Sommers-Berry and Krabill-Meyer teams were an effective varsity. Few decisions were rendered by judges at this season's meetings, but Goshen's squad definitely gathered its share of laurels. Houghton College visited here: North Manchester did also later, when discussion was in the form of a public forum. Goshen traveled to North Manchester, to tour- naments at Indiana State Teachers' and at Anderson, and one team stopped at Eureka, Illinois, while on chorus tour. High credit for a success- ful year goes to Coach Roy Umble. His enthusiasm was contagious. Left to right: Roy Umble, sponsor: Albert Meyer, John Snyder, Lois Yake, john H.

MUSIC CLUB The Music Club is not for music majors only but is open to all students interested in the various phases of music. The purpose of this organization, as stated in the club constitution, is to study music in its rela- tion to the other arts, to make it possible for more students to gain an appreciation of the music of the masters, and to provide opportunities for members to perform for the club and obtain helpful criticism. The club meets monthly throughout the school year. The meetings as a whole try to meet the objectives of the club. One pro- gram featured American music and in- cluded Hopkinson, Billings, Barber, Harris, and Griilis-only a few of the American composers. A Beethoven program presented opportunities for biographical, vocal and in- strumental contributions by the members. At least once each semester the club spon- sors a concert of outside or student talent. During the first semester Martin Fried- mann, violinist, was the guest of the club, and in April they cooperated in presenting Carlton Eldridge, tenor. The club also sponsored listening hours of recorded music. The Music Club hopes its members will enjoy music and receive satisfaction from contact with music.

RECORD On the campus we live in our own com- munity and make our own news. The Record reports this news, and also serves as a win- dow to the events of the church and the world that have interest for us. But our local features are unique and have special meaning for us. You know what's worse than being talked about on a college campus? It's being not talked about! But don't worry about that, because that's where the Record staff steps in. That's our job-to keep you in the lime- light. If the tide caught you and left you in the hands of merciless Neptune and his Fishies, please remember it's all just a part of the game. True, we've often wished such things as school papers were nonexistent, but all in all, we've had a great experience writing and printing the news you made for us. Open Letters, One World of Fellowship, Have You Read, Y Reflections, Over-the- Dam, special features-these added method to our madness of digging up news, rushing off copy, reading proof, and getting the dummy set up. So, from us to you who made the news and inspired the features-a hearty thanks for the part you played in helping to get the paper into the readers' hands.

PEACE SOCIETY The practicality of the non-resistant tech- nique applied to peace-time living was em- phasized in the Peace Society meetings this year. Discussions for these monthly meet- ings, attended by faculty and students, were based on the unifying theme Non- resistance under test , especially in these areas: relief work, mental hospitals, home churches, among young people of high school age, and on the foreign mission field. In addition to these meetings designed to encourage creative thinking, the Society has been active along other lines. To keep the student body in close contact with im- portant peace publications and develop- ments the Society maintained a bulletin board. It is also sponsoring a Hindi trans- lation of Edward Yoder's Must Christians Fight for our missionaries' use. As in prev- ious years, the Society purchased books and periodicals which are available in the library for student use. Statistics concerning the church as a whole in relation to our historic peace posi- tion show us the necessity for a continued and intensified teaching program among all age groups. The Peace Society encourages alert thinking in this area as it endeavors to foster an intelligent appreciation for our church and her Biblical principles.

When the group reaches the dam cold vapor is wreathing up off its sur- face: but from behind the tree tops shoots a sliver of sunlight, and the morning be- comes alive. At first a few chirps break the night's silence, but rapidly, in mounting crescendo, the birds' morning song bursts forth. joy in living communicates itself in- to the hearts of the listeners .... The aim ofthe Audubon Society has been to make each member better acquainted with birds through observation and study, and to create an interest and appreciation of bird life among fellow students and the sur- rounding community. The time and place of the monthly meetings varied. There were early morning breakfasts following eye- opening hikes and worth-while Sunday af- ternoons spent in observation and medita- tion. Programs were presented to the club of bird slides, records of bird calls, and competent guest speakers. Each member was encouraged to read the Audubon Maga- zine and observe birds individually: certain ones volunteered to feed the birds at the Audubon hut. The climax of the year's ac- tivities was an all-day visit to Camp Idle- wild. page eighty-two FLIEDERHOF BREAKFAST. AERO CLUB The Aero Club was organized in the Spring of 1946 under the leadership of Dick Reilly and encouragement of Dr. Glen Miller who became faculty sponsor. The club enjoyed lectures on meteorology, Elms on the principles of flight, and on one occasion it met at the air- port for a demonstration of acrobatic Hying. The purpose of the Aero Club is to provide a means of cooperatively Cal enjoying the experiences of flying: Cbj learning the sciences of flying, meteorology, navigation, etc.: Ccj lowering the cost of Hying for members. As this school year opened the club members fulfilled the aim to enjoy flying without reserve. Then K' hopes for lowering the purchasing a club plane began to soar. But these hopes soon crash-landed when it was found that plane prices had too much altitude for such a group. As an organization in its infancy, the Aero Club looks eagerly to the future.

Her topic was How home economics helped me as a mother and as a missionary. Articles of interest from India were displayed. Reports from Evelyn Showalter and Ruth Yoder, who, as repre- sentatives of our club, together with Miss Wyse, club advisor, had attended the State Home Economics Clubs meeting at Indianapolis, made up a later program. Christmas gifts were wrapped for the MCC in Denmark in Decem- ber, and the next month Mrs. Catherine Benner, Elkhart County Home Demonstration Agent, spoke to the club. She described the work, and spoke of the possibility of using college students as assistant extension workers. Programs of this type make the Home Eco- nomics Club members feel that this year has been a profitable one. Their goal is to be the best dieticians, -A teachers, and home- fi makers possible.

ELEMENTARY ,EDUCATION CLUB We must put beauty into the lives of little children because it makes teach- ing easier and makes it last longer. Miss Mary Royer, sponsor of the club, spoke these words at a tea held in the Kulp Hall social room last September. A little later she added, And may we as teachers Fill our thoughts with the beauty of creation-with the beauty of tasks well done-with the beauty of His Word. With such a challenging beginning the Education Club started on a worth- while year which included a program of speeches and lively discussion at Homecoming with former graduatesg a variety program presented by the Children's Literature classg talks by Mildred Witmer, grade consultant, and super- intendent Robert Weaver of the Goshen schools: a chal- lenge for educational work in foreign missions by Presi- dent Millerg and a tea with Mrs. Gustav Enss as guest of honor. These interesting and at- tractive programs serve as a help and inspiration for future teachers and each student is better prepared to do the best teaching because of them. We are continually reminded that the role of Christian teachers in the future world can not be over estimated. fx ELEMENTARY EDUCATION TEA.

SCIENCE CLUB One of the most recently organized clubs on our campus is the Science Club. Started in the early part of 1946, the club was sub- divided into four groups: physics, chem- istry, mathematics and biology. Recently a new division, the pre-medical group, was added. The Science Club has several aims. It at- tempts to stimulate an interest in science by providing an informal approach to the Held. In its monthly meetings programs are pre- sented which deal with the study of, and reports concerning, recent problems and discoveries in modern science. The various interest groups take trips to industrial plants and other places of scientihc sig- nificance. Occasionally illustrated lectures are provided. The Science Club also attempts, by using exhibits, news items, and lectures, to present science to the college and the com- munity. Independent work is encouraged in all Helds of science. This year students are working on plastics, glass blowing, in de- riving new and better methods of chemical analysis, and numerous other projects. Enthusiasm and interest shown by the present student body for this club and its work has been good. Membership has risen from a group of seven charter members to a club of thirty-seven. page eighty-six RESEARCH.

The following lines are written by one of the members of the Intercultural Club, explaining the origin and purpose of the organization: What brings foreign students together is pressure first, and then, eventually, some- thing else. What they have in common is at once essentially their awareness of this out- side pressure from the environment and of the types of experiences they all are having for the first time. Because the foreign students onthe Goshen College campus say we , and not I , their feeling, no matter whether they pool much or little of their experiences and con- cerns, calls for a social expression. The foreign students who first came together shaped their social consciousness in a way which clearly proved they had been influenced, strongly enough, by the environment. They decided they would have a club of their own. So the Intercultural Club made its appearance. A regular constitution was drafted, in which it clearly appears what the purposes of the club are: To get acquainted with American culture and life and have American students get acquainted with foreign countries. Significantly enough, the head of the speech department, Professor Roy Umble, was appointed as the sponsor of the club, to help the foreign students understand each other, and make themselves understood for the benefit of both the foreign and American students. To be sure there is a great need of understanding between foreign countries and America. This issue was brought up a number of times before we ourselves became fully aware of it. For foreign students interested in American culture as well as for American students, understanding should consist in the mutually earnest effort to define terms of expression, to discuss the meaning of ideas, and to agree on patterns and categories. Since terms of expression, ideas, patterns and categories do mean some- thing definite only in connection with their historical background, the Intercultural Club is concerned with a far-reaching investigation in the history of world culture. page eighty-seven VESPERIANS AND 26 Z7 za 2 Excelsior! With this motto before them the Vesperians face the future purposefully. The solicitation this year added forty-two new members to the group bringing the total to one hundred twenty-eight. Six of the new members are foreign students from Puerto Rico, Hol- land, and Lebabnon. New Vesperians were page eightyweight ADELPHIANS 1 initiated by wearing a banner labeling them Miss Vesperianu and a placard on their backs, for old members to sign, telling why they are Vesperians. At the society outings the Vesperians joined the Adelphians for a lively time of group games and supper on the athletic field, followed by stunts in the gym. Important dates in the month of November were brought out in the Vesperian-Adelphian public program, November Interlude . Ves- perians, along with their brother society the Adelphians, manifested the Christmas spirit as they brought gifts for children in East Goshen. page eighty-nine AVONS AND Response to the vigorous solicitation pro- gram, when the Modern Version of Mother Goose was presented, was the addition of fifty- seven new members to the Society, whose motto is To be rather than to seem. On ini- tiation day, gay yellow and blue colors could be seen adorning the new members whose legs appeared to be of unequal length. An outing at the college cabin finds Avons and Auroras page ninety AURORAS g boating, singing, playing ball, and eating great quantities of food. The Avons' bi-weekly meetings consist of classical music, dramatiza- tions, outings, readings, and group discussion. At Christmas time gifts of food were given, in cooperation with the Auroras, to poor fami- lies. Avons and Auroras are working on the pro- ject of placing a scoreboard in the new audi- torium-gymnasium. With its ranks augmented by more than sixty new members and many former Auroras returning to the campus, the Aurora Literary Society has become a new force in college life. The second semester witnessed several new additions to its mem- bership roll, the public program, and several joint meetings with the Avons. page ninety-one .AJ -7 Success often depends on one's ability to follow and lead-to give and take, with equanimity. Cooperation in college sports develops the talent for such living. Winning team members learn to subordinate them- selves to a task, to follow and lead in turn, and to value honesty. This is true sports- manship. Life loses much of its zest if the art of play is poorly developed or lacking. A well-rounded life of work, worship, and recreation is necessary to our goal of service. The spirit of team and individual sportsmanship is valu- able in attaining and maintaining such a life. Spor smanship X .A.A.

Perhaps the favorite sport of the majority of students, both for participation and spectatorship, is basketball. Many students have high school experience in the sport, and championship games especially show first-class skill. In basketball, as in all other sports, a strong intramural program furnishes plenty of keen competition and good sportsmanship. In the play-offs, the girls' Sophomore Flashers were champions.

Yoder's Prize Winning Essay in the Peace Oratorical Contest. The Psalmist puts to us a question old as man, new as tomorrow. It echoes down the long, empty halls of human history, unanswered: shouts in the din of war after long cruel war, still unanswered, thunders in a shuddering world's crescendo of discontent and storming fear, still unanswered. Why do the nations rage? Why do the people imagine vanity? Why war? There have been suggestions-from Sully to Metternich to Wilson to Roosevelt, there have been ideas and institutions, Grand Designs and alliances, leagues and unionsg but no answers, and the unconquered question grows like a ravenous cancer in the mind of our sick world. But we needn't despair: the Psalmist answers his own question. The kings of the earth rise up, the rulers take counsel together . . It is the kings who rise up, the rulers who take counsel together. In the language of political science, the present governmental system of sovereign nation-states is the cause of war. In 1815 the rulers took counsel together to ensure stability and peace for the order they had established. It was they who inaugurated a quarter-century of bloody rebellion in Latin America. In 1919 the rulers took counsel together to seek the same high ends with the same obsolete methods. It is they whose failure we memorialized by pouring billions of dollars, the culture ofawhole conti- nent, and millions of human personalities into the same stinking sewer. At Moscow and Yalta, at San Francisco and Potsdam and Paris and New York, the rulers again are meeting. All earth listens, for certainly now some statesman can promise us peace! For what do we listen? We hear of bombs at Bikini, of purges in Poland, of the war our army wages in China, of the stockpiles we must build, the men we must draft, the germs we must breed for the next time we need them . . . When the children of Israel wanted a king, it was to lead them to war. When our constitution calls for a President, his first power is to lead us to war. When Macchiavelli and Clausewitz dis- cussed war, it was as the primary instrument of policy for rulers of states. And out of today's con- fusion of bewildered voices, men like Emery Reeves restate the same old truth: nation-states are the mortal enemies of the ideal of human community. The continued existence of irresponsible sovereign states means inevitable fascism within, incessant wars without. The rulers take counsel together, the whole earth listens, and we hear that for rulers, peace comes second. Knowing this, the rest should be simple. Dethrone the rulers! Let the people make the peace! Set up a Parliament of Man, Federation of the World! But consider first these people. What kind of world order will be built by the Greeks whose very spirits were killed by starvation and occu- pation under Hitler and Churchill? What kind of world citizenship will we get from the Germans who hated the Jews? What kind of democratic leadership can be expected of us Americans who lynch our black citizens, who put our yellow ones behind barbed wire, who live like fat kings while the world starves in rags? . . . No, this path to the brave new world is no better. Selfish democracy differs little from selfish statism. Our need is too deep to be met by a change in political mechanics. Some say that ignorance is the cause of war, education is our need. If we could just get people to see the facts, the rest would be easy: but these are the shallow hopes of the blind. The British who used japanese troops and American weapons to win back an unwilling empire for the Dutch were not ignorant of justice. The Americans who argue the inferiority of the Negro don't fool them- selves with the tinny armor of their hypocrisy. Those who are starving Germany by dismantling her industry knew starving was wrong when Hitler did it to the Jews. Stupid as war is, stupidity is not its cause. When man asks, Am I my brother's keeper? it isn't because he doesn't know, and the voice of our brother's blood curses us from the ground, because we were not ignorant. page one hundred twelve If knowledge and politics are not the answer, where can we look for help? The Psalmist tells us again. Kings . . . rise up, rulers take counsel together against the Lord and against His Christ. A final answer, final as obvious, one certainty in history's maze of dismay. The answer is that the source of war is evil in the human heart. Human personality is what matters in this world, and if there is evil it comes of evil men. If there is to be good it will come as it has in the past, through men who are great because they don't try to be, who do good within time because they are dedicated to God beyond time. This Christian answer seems to contradict external fact. The Christian nations do the world's warring. Ever since Constantine, Christendom has sparked and fuelled and fanned war's furnace, blanketed earth with the blight of empire, strewn death on the world like rain, and always with God on our side ! But that's not Christianity. It is far too often church and clergy, but not Christ. It is an evidence that all religion is false without true ethics, and the true ethic is so totally true that even evil men can have relative peace by practicing it. jesus called it love. Philosophers call it altruism, respecting personality. Nietsche called it slave morality. Politicians call it bunk. The idea is simple enough for a child to see, but strangely incomprehensible, foreign to the minds of all but the pure in heart. If I love my enemy, he is no enemy. If I cease to strive, there is no strife. True enough, there are complications, tragic ones and terrible: there is rampant demonic evil everywhereg there are immoral forces beyond our strength, issues beyond our comprehensiong but there is nothing on earth in any category of experience to modify in any way the truth or the relevance or the unequivocal necessity of the law of love. This love is no emotional pap, no watery sentiment. Love is a positive approach to every prob- lem of human relations, and more realistic than the problem. By now we should have enough of the lies that call force realism , and far too much of those who would iix the world by blowing it up. just once, let's try using people instead of killing them. Every phase of society's ill constitutes an imperative no good man can ever neglect. The ethic of love means intelligent analysis and selfless co-operation in destroying the seeds of World War III. Retaliatory justice , seeking to right one injury with another, the bigotry that measures human worthy by skin pigment and ancestry, imperialism, militarismg all stand condemned as refusal to love. Economic greed is like unto these. And national sovereignty is yet another fiction, invented to sate man's power-hunger, and used by men who put their ill-will into practice with immeasurably more vigor than we feeble good people ever apply to loving. Education is needed, and organizationg funds, laws, plans and experts: economics, sociology, and psychologyg but only on the surface. Our sick old world has been trying such cures for ages. Peace will not be won by UN or UNESCO, Marshall or Bevin, by conscription or atom bomb or rockets, not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord. By the Spirit whose fruits are love, joy, peace . . . against such there is no law, for law is but the substitute when love is abandoned. This is idealistic, perfectionistic. Of course, that's the way truth is. That's the way God is! It's unrealistic only to those who follow the folly of compromise ethics, who won't trust the truth enough to try it. Love is patient and kind, not jealous or boastful, not arrogant or rude, not selfish, not irritable or resentful: rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth. Love beareth all things, trusteth all things, hopeth all things,endureth all thingsg Love never faileth! Here at last is the Psalmist's answer. One word for all problems and programs, one solution for all human needs. Preach it, live it, organize itg one goal for all man's energies. The task and the tool are waiting. It's up to us. page one hundred thirteen 1 h, X. Y, . , E '1 Most college students aren't overly endowed with material wealth. No matter how much or little we may have, however, we should view it as a trust from God. In times such as these when the world's needs press upon us continually we should be especially careful to make good use of this trust. Personal economy is a trait to be admired in others and nurtured in ourselves. We should be able to spend and save wisely. Dependable busi- ness establishments and professional men are a necessary part of the Christian's practical world. In this spirit we are glad to present our advertisers to you.
