Zire cue slaff The theme of the Esse of 1959 - The Twenty-Fifth Anniversary of Hampden DuBose Academy - a silver anniversary -would remind us continually to reflect the Reiner of Silver, the Lord jesus Christ. For Thou, O God, has proved us, Thou hast tried us, as silver is tried. Psalm 66:10. God has tried this work in His crucible, and has continually answered the urayer of its leadership that the image of the Refiner, the Lord Jesus Christ Himself, might be seen in each life here in the Academy and those who have gone from here to serve Him in the homeland and on mission fields around the world. As Dr. and Mrs. DuBose sought the mind of God in starting this work for Him, He gave to them, through His Word, through much prayer, and through the lives and works of Amy Carmichael, George Muller, Hudson Taylor, and others who had stepped out on the promises of Cod and found Him Who had promised absolutely faithful and altogether true, a pattern. And they took this pattern - one of complete dependence upon Him, with no salaried workers, and taking each need of the work to Him alone - and were obedient in each detail, remembering the injunction of God, repeated several times in His Word, See that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount. Their desire was for a work that would magnify a mighty Cod, and this has been true through the years. The purpose of Hampden DuBose Academy is to train Christian leadership, and this must be an individual training. In this training, spiritual life is deepened through personal and group study of the Word, through prayer, and through an atmosphere in which everything is centered in the Lord jesus Christ. High scholastic levels are maintained, that the leader for Christ might be keen and alert, well prepared and informed in his witness wherever the Lord may place his life. The interesting and varied social events at the Academy are designed for the culture and refinement of the students, to train them in Christ-honoring poise and etiquettez The physical education program is well-balanced to the end that . . . Christ shall be magnified in my body . . . Phil. 1:20, and stresses good sportsmanship and a real Christian testimony on the athletic field. To complete the Academy's five-fold program of training, the students learn to perform varied tasks faithfully and . . . heartily as to the Lord, Colossians 3:23. A home in a school which educates not simply for time but for eternity, a center of learning, of fellowship, of proper disciplines, of service, of training for life and life work, Hampden DuBose Academy thus provides the spiritual, intellectual, physical, cultural, and social advantages and the disciplines of the work program which aid in developing Christian character. As the Divine Refiner would see His work absolutely pure, that in it His image may be reflected, so we endeavor to present the Lord jesus Christ on these pages in every phase of the life of Hampden DuBose Academy, and His faithfulness over the twenty-five years of the school. 5.

Zine Story of the Name of the yearbook Ease rom neue uam flfizlerin by Dr. E. J. Pace Member of the Board of Trustees of the Academy until his death When we went as missionaries to the Philippines, we shipped from San Francisco to Hong Kong, and then trans-shipped to Manila. On this second boat we noticed the seal of the Steamship Company woven into the carpets, the tablecloths, the napkins, and on the dishes, life preservers, etc., and that seal carried the three Latin words, Esse Quam Viderif' A lady passenger asked the Archbishop of Australia, a fellow passenger, the meaning of the words, and I overheard his reply, Be, rather than seem - no sham - no sham - no shamf, What a motto for a life, To be rather than to seem. It is the virtue of sincerity as over against hypocrisy. Paul sums it up in his prayer in the Book of Philippians, chapter one, in the words, That ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christf' The word sincere is literally judged in the sunlight. Man judges the outward appearances, but Cod judges the heart. Therefore, Esse Quam Viderif' Sue editorial Staff Editor: Sara Lotz Associate Editors: Harry Strachan, John Nelson Literary Editors: Lavonne Aandahl, Margaret Hoffman, Judith Heilin, Juliana Jaeck, Howard Dearborn Editorial Assistants: James Topple, Harry Strachan Art Editors: Christine Sutton, Linda Murray, John Nel- son, Peter Hammond Sports Editors: Karen Alexander, Betty Rae Jacobsen, Catherine Strachan, Charles Brown, Raymond Morgan, Donald Wyrtzen, James Topple Faculty Advisors Senior Class Editors: Jeanne Baker, Barbara Jane Dem- arest, Gloria Tordoif, Bruce Brown, John McKinney Junior Class Editors: Linda Love, Patricia Elmore, Judith Pearson, Joyce Watts, Jay Mawhinney, Dennis Plies Sophomore Class Editors: Martita Marx, Amy Lou Hutchins, Nardos Nystrom, Joan Reinemund, Donald Purdy, Randolph Decker Freshman Class Editors: Betsy Wyrtzen, Virginia Graham, Dorothy Mayell, Kenneth Strachan, David Scherer Photographers: Mrs. James Henderson Cole, Miss Mary Lawrence Mrs. James Henderson Cole, Miss Mary Lawrence, Miss Margaret Anderson, Miss Evelyn Stone, Mr. Bradford Jones K Staff?

Dr. and Mrs. Hampden Coit DuBose .lledica lion A God-given vision become real-a fruitful vine of God's own planting. This spiritual tribute to Hampden DuBose Academy, given by a chosen servant of,God, typifies the result of the Godly lives and characters of its founders, Dr. and Mrs. Pierre Wilds DuBose, whose yieldedness of life and closeness to the Master gave room for God to show His plan for this Work, and whose absolute trust in the faithfulness of Him Who had promised to be the Sustaining One enabled them to step out in faith upon a seeming void and find underneath the everlasting arms, and whose spiritual vision, patience, love, understanding, faithful discipline, and Godly examples have made each of the twenty-five years rich in eternal values. And behind their lives stands the goodly heritage of God-fearing parents whose lives bear testimony to the goodness of God. Of them it could be said, One generation shall praise Thy works to another, and shall declare Thy mighty acts. Psalm 145:4. Dr. and Mrs. Hampden Coit DuBose, parents of the founder, served God faithfully in China for over forty years as pioneer missionaries, and their faithful ministry is recalled in the book whose title personifies their entire lives, F or the Glory of God, and also typifies this work, begun in utter dependence upon Him and named in honor of Dr. Hampden Coit DuBose, Hampden DuBose Academy. On this Twenty-Fifth Anniversary of Hampden DuBose Academy we would pay loving and grateful tribute both to Dr. and Mrs. Pierre Wilds DuBose, founders and leaders of this work, and to the memory of Dr. and Mrs. Hampden Coit DuBose, all of whom stand in faithful witness to the power of God as we dedicate to them this Esse of 1959.
