P., Indif A Word to the Alumni Just nineteen years ago five young people occasioned the first commencement program of Hesston College and Bible School. After listening to an inspirational address suitable for the occasion, they came forward with some degree of temerity and allowable pride to receive the little roll tied with a blue ribbon, indicating that they were now qualified to become alumni of the institution. Since then this incident has been repeated eighteen times, and our Alumni Association now numbers about five hundred. Several times during each year, when so much leisure is available and the reminiscent mood comes on, I study the list of alumni members and live over again the experiences that made it possible for me each year to present the graduating class with their diplomas. Then my mind attempts to keep pace with the activities of these boys and girls since going out from the walls of their Alma Mater and to take note of what each is doing. Practically all who have attained to the proper age are happily married and sit at the head of the table with their olive plants about them. A few have gone across the great divide and are experiencing the realities of the world beyond. But it is with considerable satis- faction and felicitation that I note the line of work in which the living are engaged. More than a score are preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Two score are actively engaged in mission work, either home or foreign. Another two score are trained nurses serving in the Good Samaritan work of caring for the suffering. And one hundred are engaged in teach- ing. About one-fourth of these are teaching in our church schools. Four are serving as deans. Many other positions of religious and humanitarian helpfulness are occupied by members of our Alumni Association. A good sprinkling have gone back to the farm and are doing their bit to make it possible for the human family to eat. It is regrettable that a few are not living up to the standard upheld by the inspired Word and supported by their Alma Mater. From my heart I send greetings to all my boys and girls of the Alumni and pray that our heavenly Father may keep you, direct you, and use you for the highest good of your fellow-man, the church, and the kingdom.

Before 1927 the two schools under the management of the Mennonite Board of Education had small gifts of money given them, which were set aside, the capital of which was not used for the meeting of current expenses, the interest alone being used for that purpose. How- ever, in the spring of 1927 a program was launched by the Board for the securing of 95210,000 which was to be proportioned between the two schools under its supervision. For the carry- ing out of this program the Board of Education chose six men who were to serve as an Executive Committee for a period of three years: O. O. Miller, chairrnang C. L. Graber, sec- retaryg Vernon Reiff, treasurerg A. C. Goody A. J. Steiner, and M. A. Yoder. C. L. Graber was appointed as director and has served very efficiently. In June of this year the program, as far as the Committee is directly responsible ends. But at a meeting held in December, 1929, a recommendation was presented to the Executive Committee ofdthe Board of Education that the program be continued by a sub-committee of the Committee of Finance of the Board. The recommendation was adopted. The goal of ilS2l0,000 has not been reached during these three years, but a very substan- tial gain, materially, has been made, amounting to a sum between SlS125,000 and i1'S180,000. The Young People's Section of the program came closer to the stipulated amount than did any other section. This is indeed encouraging and gratifying. A Here are a few reasons why an adequate endowment would be beneficial to our school: 1. An adequate Endowment would aid in State Standardization, for it would secure our accreditment with the State for a period of years. 2. It would remove the feeling of uncertainty on the part of the State and a minority of the constituency as to the school's ability to operate year after year without a fixed income. , 3. It would save time, energy, and money that is expended now in erasing deficits. 4. It would give our school prestige with students and parents who are very critical concerning our scholastic standing. 5. It would secure a standing with accrediting agencies. 6. It would create a permanent fund from the Church for a permanent work of the Church. PROF. M. A. YODER. ' Nineteen .

Twenty-three . .-' w The Bible College Course It has been stated again and again that a live and growing movement or institution must, from time to time, make certain adaptations to the circumstances and environment which attend its growth. This fact underlies the present Bible College course. Other attempts on the part of the institution to give Bible instruction adapted to the needs of the constituency were somewhat as follows: An elementary Bible course, without any prerequisites, covering such basic subjects as Bible History and geography, English Bible studies, grammar, ancient history, and musicg a Bible-Academy course which led to an Academy diploma and included a considerable portion of Bible along with the academy studies, an advanced 'two-year Bible course given on the level of what is now termed Junior College, the course being almost strictly Biblical. Each of the foregoing courses is a decided advance over the one preceding it, and it is exactly this principle which underlies the present Bible College course. Each of the courses mentioned above had a favorable number of graduates, but the number of graduates de- creased as time passed. Students of the type who formerly called for Bible Work on the high school level are now calling for courses on the college level, and an adjustment was necessary to meet this demand for more advanced and more thorough training in Biblical fields. ln order to do this a course was devised which is based upon the Junior College. The completion of the full course implies sixty semester hours of junior college arts and sixty semester hours of Bible. However, the course does not exclude mature students who have not the opportunity of taking the junior college course but these will not be granted the same type of diploma as those holding the high school and junior college diplomas. The two years of Bible study include courses in Theology, Exegetical studies, Church History, Mennonite History and Theology, Biblical Introduction, Religious Education, Greek, and Missions. Aside from the cultural nature of the course it is planned to make it spe- cifically practical, especially the Religious Education work. This department is to be strength- ened as time goes on and it is hoped to give practical training for young people's activities, Sunday school, city and foreign mission teaching, daily vacation Bible schools, week day Bible schools, and social service. Results thus far indicate that the course is a success. Three students are taking diplomas this year. Next year promises three more, and the indications are that each year will bring several who are interested in the course. This department is to be built upon the Bible and the spirit of our forefathers who wrote their testimony in the crimson of martyrdom. We believe the church will call and use many of these workers, and it is our desire to inculcate that spirit of discipleship which is willing to forsake all and to follow Christ. Our viewpoint is positively evangelical, non- resistant, and non-conformist, and it is our desire to perpetuate these practical foundation principles of the New Testament in the same spirit of loyalty to God and man as has charac- terized all true Mennonites throughout the centuries.

The Spring Term It is our purpose as a college- to serve all whom we can. It gives us special pleasure to serve our Alumni whenever possible. This spring we have a peculiar pleasure along this me. During the winter it was learned that a number of our alumni who were teaching in Kansas were considering where they should attend summer school. Now this is the condition .mder which a teacher with a two year certifi-:ate can renew the certificate. During the two years, eight hours college work must be secured during the vacation period. Summer is the time usually selected for securing this credit. A few teachers expressed themselves as wish- ing they could come to their Alma Mater for this work. It occurred to the administration that we might offer some courses for these teachers in the sp1'ing after their schools had closed. Spring is perhaps the best time for this study. In Kansas the busy season begins in June. This term could close in time for the teachers to be at home to help when needed. Again the spring is not so warm as the summer and there- fore more conducive to study. And the teachers would be just fresh from their schools and would have their problems clearly in mind. Accordingly a questionnaire was sent out to determine the possible interest in such a term and what courses the teachers might desire to take. It was discovered that a number were interested. After further correspondence and after we were assured of a sufficiently large enrollment to finance the venture, a spring term bulletin was issued. This bulletin was mailed to all of our Alumni whom we thought might be interested. We were gratified with the attendance of eight alumni. Each of these taught last year and will teach again next year. The courses offered are Methods in the Elementary School Subjects and English Gram- mar. The course in Methods is the regular college methods course required for the three- year state certificate. The latest and best methods of teaching each subject of the ele- mentary school are considered. In English Grammar the students are helped to a thorough understanding of the English sentence. Such a mastery will go far toward making their teaching of grammar a pleasure and a success. Each class meets one and one-half hours each day for six weeks of six days each. This gives 54 hours, the equivalent of 18 weeks meeting three hours a week. Such concentrated study as this requires has some decided ad- vantages. The instructors of both classes are very well pleased with the interest and en- thusiastic work of the students enrolled. If such demand should continue other courses may be offered next spring, and the spring term may become a permanent feature at our college. MRS. ALTA MAE ERB. Thirty-three -- .,gflm,g . . - The Junior College The Junior College as a separate and distinct educational unit in American schools is of recent origin and has been rapidly growing in numbers in recent years. Its program consists usually of two years of study above the high school course and covers the work commonly given in the first two years of the liberal arts course in college. The work differs in method and in viewpoint from high school work. The student is older and nearer maturity, can think more for himself, and is better able to organize his time and effort for his own good. He has developed some power of self control and self direction. The aims of the Junior College course are fly to make up any important deficiencies in the student's high school course, Q23 to provide certain additional tool subjects that the student may need in case he later Wishes to take up specialized studies in college or professional school, C35 to broaden and deepen the student's general culture and his appreciation of the best things in life, and C45 to qualify those who wish to teach in rural and grade schools. College work in Hesston College and Bible School was first offered regularly in 1918, but the Junior College was not placed on an accredited basis until 1925. Since this last date fifty-six persons have been graduated from the Junior College course, twenty-eight young men and the same number of young women. Hesston Junior College is accredited by the Kansas University and by the Kansas State Board of Education. Its graduates can by the right choice of subjects qualify for the three-year state teacher's certificate, which is renewable. Those who desire to do so can proceed to a degree in the university or in a four-year college without loss of credit. Stu- dents who are particularly interested in Bible study have opportunity in the Junior College to get as much as twenty semester hours in Bible subjects and yet graduate from the stan- dard course. The Junior College offers instruction in the following nine departments: Ancient Lan- guages fGreek, Latinj, Bible, Biology, English, History and Social Science, Mathematics, Mod- ern Languages fGerman, Frenchj, Philosophy and Education, and the Physical Sciences fChemistry, Physics, Geologyj. Most of these courses are introductory and foundational in nature and are taught by qualified teachers. Nine teachers are this year giving instruction' in the College, some of whom teach in this department only and others of whom also teach in the academy. These teachers all hold graduate degrees and have spent an aggregate of about fourteen years in graduate study in residence at leading American universities and semi- naries. The purpose of the Junior College, as of the other departments of our institution, is to provide for young people the best training possible under the best moral, social, and spiritual surroundings. Christian standards of life and the historic ideals of the Mennonite faith and practice are upheld in Hesston College and a spirit of Christian piety pervades all the Work and activities of the school. Young people are encouraged to return to their home communi- ties after a college course and use their training in the work of the Kingdom of God there. DEAN EDWARD YODER. - V Thirty-four A .

More and more of our own Mennonite young people are attending these institutions. There are .many who feel that they cannot spend three or four, or more years in residence at one of our church schools, and they do not wish to expose themselves to the influence and atmosphere of the state schools. Many of them are allured away from schools by the immediate prospect of what seem to be good wages, or are forced out by the necessity to earn a living, or by one of a number of other seeming obstacles. The Extension Department of Hesston College and Bible School has been organized to meet the needs of this large class of young people. The school belongs to the Church. Since many of her constituents cannot come to the school, we are trying to enlarge the usefulness of the school by bringing the school to them. Many subjects can be taught successfully by correspondence. This has been demonstrated by the experience of the commercial schools, whose example has been followed by the uni- versities and colleges of the land. It is true that some of the special advantages of resi- dence study are lacking when courses are taken by mail, but on the other hand, correspond- ence work has special advantages not present in resident study. Receiving instruction by mail develops self-reliance, industry, initiative, and perseverance in the student. The teaching is personal and individual. Every student prepares and recites the whole of each lesson, and stands in relation to the teacher as an individual rather than as a member of a large class. Furthermore, the student may take work by correspondence, and at the same time follow his vocation without serious interruption. This method of instruction also makes it possible for those who may be kept at home by dependents to get an education. The Extension Department at Hesston has not been enlarged and developed as We hope it may be. Our aim has been merely to meet the demands for correspondence work, and no direct effort has been made to solicit students in this department. We hope that in the future the department may grow, and that the instruction thus given may enjoy an ever widening influence for good in the Church and may bring honor and glory to God.

For ty-four ACTIVITIES Menno Shellenberger Menno Shellenberger, a much loved student at Hesston College, discontinued his studies at the close of the Great World 'War and answered the call to serve as a. relief worker in Syria. Just before leaving home he spoke in the most confident manner of the call he felt to go into that field or' labor and expressed himself as entirely ready to meet its hardships and even death if it was his Lord's will. While ministering to his fellowmen in Syria he was attacked by small- pox and died at Diabrikis beyond the Euphrates, on Dec. 14, 1921. Such an utter self-renunciation for the cause of Christ and the needs of humanity is in Hesston College the Spirit of Christian Service. I .,. .v'o'TY'!l7Y3'1 .v . ,sn ag ' r Q RELIGIOUS THE YOUNG PEOPLE'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION The Young People's Christian Association is the one organization in our school of which every Christian student is expected to become ax member. The purpose of the Y. P. C. A. as stated in the constitution is to unite all students who desire to strengthen the spiritual life and influence of the schoolg to promote growth in Christian character and fellowship and aggressive Christian workg to train its members for Christian service and lead them to de- vote their lives to the service of the Master. The officers of the organization who also constitute the Executive Committee are the president, vice president, secretary and treasurer. The administrative work is vested in the cabinet, the members of which are appointed by the president. Each member of the cabinet is also chairman of one of the committees which carry on the work of the Association. The Devotional Meeting which is held each Thursday evening at seven o'clock in the Chapel Hall is in charge of the Religious Meetings Committee. In this meeting each student is given an opportunity to give expression to his convictions and testify for his Lord. Many of these meetings will be long remembered as times when individuals were brought into closer communion with God. The Bible Study Committee provided Tuesday Evening Bible Study Classes in the follow- ing courses: Appreciation of Psalms, Paul Erb, teacherg Personal Work, I. E. Burkhart, teacher, The Victorious Life, Maurice Yoder, teacher: Prophecy, J. B. Smith, teacher. Be- sides these there were several classes in Bible Memorizing. The Social Committee sponsored two all-school socials during the year-the Acquaintance Social at the opening of the school year and the Mid-Winter Social. These socials at which students and faculty members meet together for a few hours of fellowship in a social Way are always enjoyed and appreciated. Missionary programs thruout the year were planned by the Missions Committee. The Employment Committee was useful in assisting students in securing work during their spare time. The Annual Y. P. C. A. Drive for funds was a decided success. The goal was set for S400 and a total of 95532 was pledged. The money was placed in the following funds: Expense fund .... - .........................

S432 One of the ways in which this organization is rendering a real service to the students of Hesston College is thru a fund known as the Student Loan Fund. From this fund worthy students may borrow a limited amount of money at GW interest who otherwise would not be able to attend school. At the present time five students are being helped by this fund. The expressions of appreciation from those who have received financial assistance from this fund in the past assure us that it is filling a real need. It is the plan of the organization to enlarge this fund and increase its usefulness. The interest shown by the students in the work of the Y. P. C. A. during the past year has been appreciated, and it is hoped that it may continue to function as a Christian organiza- tion in ministering to the spiritual needs of the students of Hesston College. Forty-six WORK OF THE EXTENSION COMMITTEE OF THE Y. P. C. A. Working for the Lord is one of the privileges and blessings which our heavenly Father accords to us as His children. We are in school, primarily to equip ourselves for practical service for our Master. We consider it a privilege to be used in His service while here. To the Extension Committee has been assigned the special charge of finding and improv- ing these opportunities for Christian activity. Twice a month a group was sent to Newton to sing at the Bethel Home for the Aged and the Bethel Deaconess Hospital and to conduct a short preaching service at the county jail. Every other Sunday afternoon preaching services were held for the infirm, aged men at the County Farm. Twice a month, whenever the weather permitted, students assisted in the Sunday evening services at the Catlin Church near Peabody. Groups also sang to shut-ins and aged people in Hesston. The aim has been to give as many students as possible the privilege of serving in these various activities. The special effort of this committee was undertaken during Christmas vacation when a Gospel Band made a tour through Oklahoma. They held meetings at Jet, Hydro, and Guymon. The group consisted of a minister and a mixed quartet, whose members also assisted by spe- cial songs, programs, children's meetings and personal work. The reports of this trip were gratifying and we believe that much good has been accomplished. HESSTON COLLEGE CONGREGATION The Hesston congregation is composed of the resident members in and near Hesston, together with the student members who are here for the period of the school year. Brother D. H. Bender has had bishop oversight of this congregation for a number of years and is still serving in this capacity. Brother Maurice Yoder has been pastor for the past two years. On account of his absence the first semester, the assistant pastor, Brother I. E. Burk- hart, has taken care of the pastoral work for that time. One of the outstanding seasons in the year is the period of evangelistic meetings. Brother Milo Kauffman, who is attending school in Chicago, was with us as evangelist this past year. In addition to the regular morning and evening preaching service each Sunday the con- gregation has its weekly devotional meeting, Sunday School, and Young People's Meetings. THE VOLUNTEER BAND Leader, Paul Miller. Secretary, Verna Enns The Volunteer Band is composed of twenty-nine members, eighteen of whom were taken in this year. However, more than this number attend the services which are held every Sunday morning at eight o'clock. The nature of the programs varies. Sometimes we have devotional topics, and some- times a study of a particular district which is represented by those of our number, or by visitors. The districts or missions which were discussed this year are, the Chicago Mission, the Mountain Districts of Virginia, the Southern field, the Dakota-Montana and other conference districts of our church. Sister Vera Hallman and Brethren George Lapp and A. C. Brunk gave us first hand in- formation concerning our foreign fields. We appreciate the privilege of learning more of these various phases of our church work, for by having a better knowledge of the problems and needs we become more interested and can pray more specifically for this work. Before Christmas the Band sent out letters to all of its former members whose ad- dresses could be found, about one hundred sixty in number. Answers from some of these were gladly received, and were an inspiration to us. We are glad that while here in prepara- tion we have the opportunity of helping the work with our prayers. THE FOREIGN VOLUNTEER BAND Leader, Nelson Kauffman Secretary, Pheobe Yoder The members of the Foreign Volunteer Band are those who are especially interested in the work of the foreign fields, and have dedicated their lives for the Master's service wherever He may choose to use them. The constitution provides for a meeting of the Band once a week. The time chosen for this is Wednesday evening at seven o'clock. Various foreign fields, their problems and needs, were discussed. Early in the school year Brother Burkhart gave two lectures on the African fields. Other talks were given by those who are actively engaged in service in home missions and in foreign fields. Sister Vera Hallman gave us a series of interesting and inspiring lectures. We cer- tainly appreciated the vivid and detailed manner in which she pictured to us the problems, needs, discouragements and joys of our missionaries in South America. Subjects of a devotional and inspirational nature were discussed concerning some phase of the missionary's life, his prayer life, his testimony for Christ, the responsibility of the church regarding the spreading of the Gospel in foreign lands, and the opportunities in unoc- cupied fields. We also studied some of the epistles of the great missionary, the Apostle Paul. ' Forty-seven ' , idly, .V V , ,rf-f' , ..- . ,.-,a . -. , , lx - , .ex 'j 1 -, .,.,d-1 'i .. .

CHRISTIAN LIFE CONFERENCE AND MINISTERS' WEEK The few days from February 12 to 16 brought into our school a group of people from many different communities. Ministers' Conference started on Wednesday, February 12, and the last session closed at five o'clock the following Friday evening. Various pastoral and church problems were discussed and their solutions considered. Brethren G. J. Lapp, J. D. Mininger, S. M. Kanagy, J. B. Smith, and I. E. Burkhart addressed the ministers. Several round table discussions were held and the ministers said that much was accomplished through these open discussions. About twenty-five ministers representing congregations in Colorado, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri and Illinois were here for the conference. The public was welcome to the meetings of the ministers and a number of students and visitors attended the sessions. Persons who have been connected with our school for a long time said that the Chris- tian Life Conference held on February 14-16 was the most inspiring, soul-strengthening and the moist successful that has been held at Hesston for a number of years. Brethren G. J. Lapp, missionary from India, J. A. Heatwole, LaJunta, Colorado, L. C. Miller, Limon, Colo- rado, and J. D. Mininger of Kansas City, Kansas, were the visiting ministers who gave in- teresting and helpful messages to the large crowds that were here for the conference. The breadth of interest can best be understood when we note that visitors representing North Dakota, Colorado, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Missouri, Illinois, Iowa, Alberta, South America and India, as well as many of our friends and brethren from nearby congregations in Kan- sas, were in the audiences that attended. Excellent interest was manifested in all the ses- sions of the conference. We feel that our school was benefited greatly by having so many visitors from various districts. It brought the constituency and the school closer together, and we feel this en- larged acquaintance will help the institution better to serve the highest interests of all. For ty-eight a l MUSIC HESSTON COLLEGE MUSIC i Written deep into the spirit of Hesston College is the motto, What is a college without music ? While it would be too much to say that the study of music is a leading feature of the school, it is not too much to say that singing is considered an indispensable part of our school life. For everybody sings. When some forlorn exception insists that he can't carry a tune, we don't believe him. If we can't teach him to carry a tune, we can at least teach him to get rid of it. Almost without exception students elect the courses in the elements of music. And a majority get into one of the singing organizations, either by coming in thru the door or by climbing up some other Way. Chapel, prayer circle, literary societies, and Y. P. C. A. extension work offer constant means of practice and improvement. From the nature of the case our singing is chiefly religious. The dominant spirit of the school must naturally express itself in song. And the majority of the singing occasions call for a religious type of music. Of course there are legitimate emotions which lie outside the field of religion, .and these emotions find their legitimate expression in songs of nature and human experience. Both those selections which get the greatest grip on both singers and hearers are usually spiritual lyrics. The masterpieces of religious composition, and the best of the Christian hymns which have survived the years, become our increasing delight. One can hardly overemphasize the importance of music in spiritual development, for the hymns one uses devotionally and especially those one loves do more to form one's religious thinking than anything else except the Bible. But our music is designed also for service. To carry the inspiration of songs to hospitals, jails, and shut-ins is our delight. And to an increasing extent in recent years we have been 'carrying our musical messages into various sections of the church through the various chorus organizations. An important end of all our musical development is to train our musical abili- ties so that we may go back into our churches and help to maintain the highest standards of congregational singing. For music is never better employed than in a combined worship of the Lord. , PROF. PAUL ERB. Forty-nine 1,5 1- -' ' 5, Y i' -re YJEQQ, , , Front row-Prof. Erb, director: F. Mullet. R. Cooprider, N.

The Men's Chorus The Men's Chorus is becoming a more important organization of the college each year. The voices are selected with more care and the training is more intense because of the ex- tended activity and influence of the Chorus. Work began this year with sixteen probationary members. After some weeks of practice the final Chorus of twelve voices was chosen and the real work began. A program was rendered at the College during the Special Bible term in conjunction with the Ladies' Chorus. Beside singing at several church services this was the extent of the public work of the Chorus until the Easter vacation. The event of the year most looked forward to by the members of Men's Chorus was the annual tour. It was a question at first if it would be possible to make such an extended tour, especially since it was a new thing for a number of congregations, but the invitations came in until we had as many appointments as we had time for. The tour was financed by an assessment laid upon each of the men in the chorus and by free will offerings at each place. The trip was made in three cars, two Model A Fords and a new Chevrolet Six. The Chorus was given a farewell in chapel Tuesday morning, April 15. The Chorus sang three numbers and then Bro. Bender gave us a few admonitions and offered a prayer for our safe keeping and the success of the tour. Immediately after chapel we left for Kansas City. We were received at J. D. Mininger's home by all the ex-students of Hesston then in the city. Af'ter a splendid lunch and a visit we drove to the Argentine Church and gave our program to a crowded house of attentive listeners. We were warmly received by mem- bers of the church for the night. The next day we visited the Children's Home, the Week Day Bible School, Armour's Packing Plant, Noon Meeting at Grand Ave. Temple, Federal Re- serve Bank, Soldiers' Memorial, and Bro. William McPherson. At 3:30 we left for Garden City, and were entertained in different homes for sup per. The Bethel Church was crowded and many were standing outside at our program that evening. Thursday we drove to Versailles, Mis- Missouri, and were entertained in different homes for supper. The Bethel Church was crowded and many were standing outside at our program that evening. Thursday we drove to Ver- sailles, Missouri. Here again we had a. large and appreciative audience. We stayed with the folks there for their Good Friday Service at which Bro. Erb preached. We were then pro- vided with lunch and immediately after the service we left for Cherry Box via Jefferson City. We visited the Capitol Building and then drove to Cherry Box, over many hills and on nar- row roads. Here again we were warmly received and royally entertained. That night one car went to Palmyra and the next day via Keokuk to South English, and the other two cars took a direct route. Here we encountered a very thick, heavy, reddish, tenacious substance, nationally known as Iowa mud. Because of the rain the crowd was small that night at South English, but each night after this our audiences were as large as the buildings would permit. After the program we drove to the West Union neighborhood for the night. We attended Sunday School and church services at the West Union Church on Sunday morning. Jesse Hartzler led the singingg the quartet sang two numbers and Bro. Erb preached. Sunday noon we were given a sumptuous dinnner at the Abner Yoder home. Immediately after dinner we left in a steady rain for Kalona where at 2:30 we gave a program at the Chris- tion Church. Herman Yoder, a former chorus and quartet member, gave us a delicious lunch in his parents' home that evening. We sang to our largest crowd at the East Union church in the evening.

V On Monday we drove to Manson, Iowa, and were received by the Egli family for supper. The audience here was exceptionally appreciative. The next morning we sang at the Rockwell High School where some of our young people are enrolled. The next day we drove via Omaha and Li ncoln to Milford, Nebraska, and stopped at Ezra Hershberg-er's home and there struggled with another one of those loaded tables. After the program at the East Fairview Church we were taken into different homes for the night and the next forenoon was pent in washing cars, playing ball, and visiting relatives. Wednesday evening found us in good spirits around atable in the Ben Slagel home. In our audience that evening at Shickley Church there were a few from Milford, and a large number from Roseland, Nebraska. Thursday evening we were at Abilene, Kansas, where we flvere warmly received and our program much appreciated. After the program we drove ome. Friday evening we gave our last program to our home audience at Hesston. The pro- gram was much the same as at other places.The Programs consisted of sixteen numbers by the chorus, two numbers by the quartet, and short address by one of the chorus members. At Hesston the director gave a review of the trip and each of the boys gave an expression of appreciation for what the tour had meant to him. - At each place we sang we had a hearty invitation to return next year, and we feel that the tour was highly successful, in giving a message to our audiences, in forming contacts with our constituency and the offerings Were sufficient to cover the expense. The Chorus filled several engagements later in the year also. On Sunday, May 11, the Chorus sang at the Wichita Church in the afternoon and at the Yoder Church in the eve- ning, and on May 25 at the West Liberty Church. MEN'S CHORUS PROGRAM Rock of Ages.

The Ladies' Chorus A large part of the personnel of the chorus this year was new timber as shown by the fact that only five members of last year's chorus were with us this year, and only one of the others had been a member formerly. Considering this the chorus is to be commended for its work. The chorus made its first appearance of the year during Special Bible Term in a con- joint program with the Men's Chorus. Six numbers on that program were given by the Ladies' Chorus. Following' that program, preparation began at once for the program of May 21. This was the first time a Ladies' Chorus gave an entire program at this place. The same program was given at Whitewater on May 25. The music selected by the committee was of the type that develops appreciation and becomes a part of the singer. The time spent in practice was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Each week as the time came for practice, one could read on happy faces as they gathered in, Oh, good! It's time for Ladies' Chorus practice. This made regular attendance spontaneous. Besides the appreciation of the audience making it worth while, we feel well repaid for our effort by what we have gained in singing together as a group.

The A Cappella Chorus Music, like all that is beautiful, holds boundless possibilities for the individual who seeks to draw inspiration from it. At present there is a strong tendency toward A Cappella singing even in colleges and music conservatories that make much of instrumental music. Usually a better type of singing is the result when unaccompanied music is rendered. Hesston College has an A Cappella Chorus again this year. Our director, Prof. Paul Erb, has considered quality of voice, accuracy in pitch and ability to sing difficult music in the selection of voices. The music chosen is of a high grade from the masters, adapted to verse of true literary quality. The Chorus will again sing several numbers of Russian music, which is usually much appreciated. Although the music is rather difficult, it is just what is needed for more advanced singers. The songs are sung from memory. Besides rendering a program at the College, we sang at Tabor College and at the Methodist' church in Peabody. THE A CAPPELL CHORUS PROGRAM Invocation The Cherubic Hymn .........

Ezra Hershberger Fifty-three ' Hesston College Community Chorus We feel that we need not multiply words to defend the place of good chorus work in connection with our school, for as it is impossible to divorce song from human experience, and Christian song from our religion, so it is impossible to divorce song from good school and college life. Christian song holds a place in a Christian school that can be substi- tuted by no other art or activity. It is to fill this important place that our chorus work is carried on in connection with our school Work. The Community Chorus of Hesston College is not necessarily composed of only the few select and best singers of the institution, but is comprised of from seventy to eighty voices chosen from both the college and the community. Those possessing musical talent and having had sufficient training to enable them to participate in chorus singing are eligible. This is of course a select group, but it is not a select group of musical aristocrats. Any- one is eligible to sing in the Community Chorus who is beyond the childhood stage in musi- cal training and who gives evidence of a willingness to become devoted to the task. During the first part of this school year the chorus sang selections from the St. Olaf Choir Series, a splendid collection of sacred songs, most of which are well adapted to begin- ners, and all of which are adapted to chorus work. A public program was given with selec- tions taken from this series. Following this the time was spent in learning the cantata entitled, The Carpenter of Nazareth. This sacred composition is made up of three parts: I. The Child of Promise. II. The Humble Toiler, and III. The Rejected Teacher. Each di- vision represents a different aspect of the human life of Christ and the cantata closes with an anticipation of His future glory. A public program was given for the rendition of this number on April 9. During the rest of the school year the time was spent in preparation for the rendering of the regular commencement selection, The Holy City. The aims of chorus singing are fundamentally to develop musical talent and to lead individuals as a chorus to praise God. Other ideals might be named, but we feel that the essential point is that our chorus work as we ll as all our school activities be directed accord- ing to the ideals of the Church, and that we strive earnestly to follow and pay due attention to those ideals. May the sacred messages of these compositions live in our memories to the end that they may speak words of comfort in troubled times, shed rays of sunshine on cloudy days, and pilot our journey of life until finally we shall join the heavenly chorus above.

At the beginning of the year the Bryans had eighteen members, the Delphians twenty, the Victorians thirty, the Excelsiors seventeen, and the Philomathians twenty-six. That means that nearly two-thirds of our students belong to a literary society. At the end of the first semester a number of students discontinued their school work and a few others dropped their literary work because of extra heavy courses. The two college societies meet separately at seven o'clock on Monday evening and meet conjointly twice a term for study and exercise in Parliamentary Law. The academy societies meet at four o'c1ock on Friday evening. Representatives from the three academy societies gave a Kansas Day program for the public on January twenty-ninth, and on January thirty-first the college societies gave a public program. Our weekly programs have been of great variety, from those, entirely impromptu to zealous debates after hours of study. Professor Erb gave several illustrated lectures on cities of Germany and Switzerland under the auspices of the Bryan society, but attended by members of all societies. No one ever joins a literary society merely for the purpose of being entertained, but also to take part in entertaining the others. This is the delightful part of literary work. It gives rise to a greater sense for the original, the unusual, and develops the art of self-im- provement. It puts a member on his honor to give steadfast application to the duty as- signed him, but he himself receives the great er benefit. We have each taken some individual part on our programs, and we have had good times, reading, singing, contesting, laughing, andkthinking together. This has added zest, flash, and enthusiasm to our regular school wor . One of the most beneficial aspects of our literary work is the constructive criticism it affords. At first we naturally shrink from criticism, but our aim is to point out defects, never for any purpose but for improvement and encouragement. Many times a criticism which at the time seemed severe proved to be the very st epping-stone to greater efficiency. Our endeavor in the past year has been to make it the best in the history of our so- cieties. Fifty-five 'L Bryan Bryan Literary Society Verna Enns, Nelson Kauffman, Maude Swartzendruber.

FreshmanfSophomore Debate Friday evening of February 7 the Freshmen and Sophomores of the College engaged in their annual battle of Words over the question, Resolved: That buying on the installment plan as practiced in the United States is both socially and economically desirable. The Freshmen upholding the negative were represented by Edward Mininger, captaing Elwood Lehman and Ida Yoder. The Sophomores sent forward Harold Sommerfeld as captain, Wal- lace Shellenberger and Mae Dillman. The teams were well matched and the clash was unmistakable. Said the Sophomores, Installment buying is necessary to happiness and progress, and the Freshmen denied this by saying, Installment is debt and will lead only to unhappiness and economic depression. So there you are. The Freshman team, coached by Professor Paul Erb, showed a slight ad- vantage in the preparation of their constructive speeches. The Sophomores, under the guid- ance of Professor J. N. Byler, also had well prepared and Well delivered addresses and at the close of the main speeches it was still possible for either side to win. However, the slight lead achieved by the Freshman negative was capitalized by them in the rebuttals, so they took the offensive. They attacked the affirmative aggressively and the affirmative failed to beat them back sufficiently to convince the critic-judge that the decision was theirs. As usual, we had a large and eager audience attending the debate and everyone appreciated the contest. The debaters greatly appreciated the services of Professor M, A. Hess of McPherson College, who served as critic judge. Mr. Hess has served the college several times before in this capacity, and each time has left the impression that he is an impartial and accurately discerning judge. PROF. I. E. BURKHART.

Oratory is effective common speech raised to a little higher plane of dignity and emotional intensity. And for such speech there is a large place in modern life. Training in oratory will never come amiss. The orators in this contest represented the college literary societies, the Delphians and the Bryans. This intersociety competition in oratory seems well on the way to becoming an armual' affair, and as the rivalry is rather keen, it becomes something of an honor to uphold society laurels on the platform. Ezra Hershberger, Lina Kauffman, and Edward Mininger strove to maintain the winning streak of the Delphiansg Maude Swartzendruber, John Snyder, and Carol Kauffman tried to relieve the monotony by swinging victory to the Bryan camp. An eager audience listened with pleasure to the orations and tried to prophesy the judge's de- c1s1on. Prof. Maurice-A. Hess was critic judge of the contest. Debate and oratory are his spe- cialty at McPherson College, and We. have come to count on his judgment quite regularly in our forensic contests. It is somethingof an ordeal for a speaker to keep his seat on the platform, facing the audience, While a critic praises or blames his speech. But it is good medicine, and generally quite gracefully taken. After discerning comment on each speech, Mr. Hess awarded first place to Lina Kauffman, second place to John Snyder, and third place to Maude Swartzendruber. While Miss Kauffman is a Delphian, the combined rankings of all the contestants gave the victory to the Bryans. PROF.

Other departments of our school are taking care of the spiritual and mental sides. In the physical education classes we are attempting to develop the physical. We all desire a sound mind in a sound body. In fact the greatest spiritual and mental development can take place only when the physical is properly taken care of. In view of this fact every student is expected to take physical edu- cation unless he is excused for physical or other legitimate reasons. The exercises are varied and serve various purposes. The aims are to develop the physical in the way of muscle coordination, ease, grace, and poise, and also to correct wrong physical habits. This is ac- complished through gymnastics or calisthenics. . One's ability to make a success in life and to be of service in this world depends very largely on his ability to work or play with others. We call it teamwork. Physical educa- tion tends to develop teamwork by the playing of group games. In the fall the popular games are baseball and tennis. During the Winter various games are introduced along with the gymnastic exercises. But basketball is the game which holds the greatest attention. In the spring attention again turns to baseball and tennis with some interest in track. Our am- bition is to have a track meet every springg however, we do not always get it accomplished. The physical education department is not very strong, but it is young and still growing. We are hoping to accomplish things in the future. PROF. D. D. DRIVER. Sixty-two l Front row-M.

The Athletic Council The Athletic Council was established several years ago in response to a special need. The faculty athletic committee takes care of problems concerning athletics and physical education in the school, and the executive com mittee of ,the Athletic Association takes care of the business of the association. But often questions arise concerning the relation of the Athletic Association to the school or the Physical Education department. Neither of these committees is in a position to solve these questions aloneg therefore the two committees to- gether with the Physical Education directors of the school are combined as a general commit- tee called the Athletic Council to consider all questions that are referred to it by either the Athletic Association or the school that are of mutual interest. Here students and faculty mem- bers council together and exchange views and opinions, and are usually able to reach a solu- tion that is satisfactory to the association and in keeping with the spirit of the institution. .

The Round Robin system of scheduling games was used in our inter-class playing. The two college teams and the Academy Senior team were close contenders for highest ranking. The College Freshman boys attained considerable recognition by being undefeated by any other class team. The Academy Senior boys were second only to the College Freshman team. The other college team consisted of unclassified college stu- dents, college sophomores and upper classmen. The teams were so closely matched that it was extremely difficult for the teams to get a lead in any game, and at the end of several games the score stood tied and an overtime period of playing was added to determine the winner. We feel that in all our games a feeling of good sportsmanship was mani- fested by all of the teams, whether they were loser or winner. The Round Robin system has proved a success and will quite likely be used hereafter. g4,,,i.f Q' 1 ,K Sixty-four 1 ---1-1. .Ae 'W -. .W W .-1.-. , 4.3. ,, . ---- ' 1, - 3-'---f,-...M iLQf'-,1L:,-'- n, i ff1--4.-' fi T , s V .TPLTTQQ---Q. Q Athletics Girl's Basket Ball The girls had organized basketball teams this year. Each Academy class had one team, but the college team was chosen from the whole Junior College department. Before Christmas most of the girls' basketball periods were spent practicing for the tournament which started immediately after the holidays. The teams were so evenly matched that it was hard to tell which team would take the lead. The final game was a contest between the Academy Freshmen and the Academy Juniors closing with a score of 36-39 in favor of the Juniors. The champion team was composed of Ellen Hertzler fcapt.J, Sara. Flisher, Marign McFarlane, forwards, and Josie Mishler, Lillian Wenger, Mary Deurkson, guar s. There were also some interesting games played outside of the class games, such as Dorm vs. Outsiders, College vs. Academy, Kansans vs. Non-Kansans, Faculty Women vs. Special Term Girls. The basketball spirit even crept into the faculty and the lady members of the faculty showed their skill at basketball by giving' the Special Term girls a good contest. The game was close and ended with the Special Termers in the lead by a small margin. Although the basketball season was short this year it was not lacking in interest. Quite frequently when there was to be a game it was found that too many players were present and some had to be turned away. Other times the periods had to be divided in order that all might be accommodated. Everyone was interested and everyone took active part. Sixty-five Athletics Tennis When school started last fall the tennis courts were in fairly good condition and were immediately put to use by students and faculty members alike. It seemed as if each one wanted to display his or her tennis ability. The association soon had a meeting for the purpose of taking in new mem- bers, filling vacant offices and deciding upon some fall tournaments. Two tournaments were decided upon-a mixed doubles and men's doubles. A com- mittee at once started work on these and in- a short time had them ready to be played off. But, of course, every one needed a great deal of practice before playing a really important game and as a result these tournaments were not completed till spring. They were, however, played off early enough to leave time for both Ladies' Singles and Men's Singles tournaments in the spring. In the Mixed Doubles Helen Hess and Richard Miller carried off tournament honors, winning from Opal Meyer and Ezra Hershberger by a score of 6-2 and 6-3. In the Men's Doubles two Oregonians, Clarence West and Elwood Lehman, won from Edward Mininger and Richard Miller by the score of 6-2, 4-6 and 6-3. Sixty-six Athletics l Base Ball Strike three, batter's out, decisively called Umpire D. D. Driver and there was almost a. groan from that section of the stands that held the World supporters. With this out had slipped the last chance for the World to tie the score, which was 3-4 in favor of their rivals, the North West. And not only did this end the game but it was also the end of the five-game series an? as the score now stood the Northwest had three games and the World on y two. This had all happened about the latter part of October. Soon the basketball season would start and consequently baseball became sort of a back number with everybody except, possibly, a few of the players for the World. These boys declared that when spring arrived the boys from Kansas, Nebraska and the rest of the world would give reason for a different story. Baseball is quite able to hold its own among the athletics at Hesston Col- lege, altho tennis and basketball always draw a large following. The big game ofthe year is the annual Alumni game that is played during commencement Week. After losing four or five games in succession, the Alumni, last year, again won from the College. The school, though, thinks that they will be safe in pre- dicting a win this year. In Zeke and West we have two really good pitchers, and the Brennemans-Jim and Joe-are entirely able to' take care of the catch- ing end of the game. For the other positions on the infield and outfield we have plenty of splendid material. However, the Alumni also have quite a large number of players in their ranks. If they can arrange to be here for the game it should certainly be a thriller. Sixty-seven l I' inn! ' fr.. MISCELLANEOUS ACTIVITIES AUDUBON SOCIETY The Audubon Society has made special efforts this year to improve the bird sanctuary. This sanctuary, which is little known even to many on the campus, is a rectangular plot of land covering about three acres, situated on the northwest corner of the campus. Although still far from being complete, it holds the promise of becoming in a few years a very attrac- tive place. The sanctuary is completely enclosed by a dense mulberry hedge, which is kept trimmed, with tall trees growing out of it at intervals of about fifteen feet to furnish fruit and nest- ing sites for the birds. Along the north and west, the hedge stands at about shoulder height, and serves both as a weather protection and shelter for nests. Along the south and east it has been cut a few feet lower. Clumps of shrubbery, including currant, juneberry, lilac, sumac, and elderberry bushes form thickets along the north and south sides of the sanctuary, just within the hedge. A great, tangled rosebush is particularly inviting as a nesting place for our riotous singer, the mockingbird. Grape vines clamber over a low trellis to hang their ripening fruit in the sun. It is our ambition to sometime have within this small enclosure a specimen of every tree indigenous to this part of the country. While still far from the realization of this goal, we do have a number of fine trees, both native and sent in from neighboring states, such as wild cherry, hard maple, elm, and locust. Many of these, particularly the elms, have already grown large enough to furnish good shelter for our feathered friends. A clump of pines and cedars had been started several years ago, but only two cedars have survived. Three small pines have just been added, and we are now again watching hope- fully the growth of our evergreen thicket, which is dedicated particularly to the cardinals and waxwings. This year we have begun the sodding of sections of the sanctuary where cultivation is no longer necessary, along the hedge, between the thickets, and even under the trees at the west end. This will furnish a cover for the ground nesting birds, which have had little to attract them to the sanctuary until now. It also serves as a tonic to our optimism concern- ing the time when the whole sanctuary will be carpeted deep with grass. The next improvement should be the long-wished-for pump and windmill, which is to furnish the water for the brook and pool. The pool is to be large enough to provide drink- ing and bathing facilities for our regular tenants and perhaps even, we hope a little breath- lessly, to attract a few migrating water fowl in the spring and fall. The only barrier to the realization of this dream is the slimness of the Audubon purse, but we are still hopeful. The birds have graciously lent a part of the sanctuary ground to the school for a nursery for young trees and flower bulblets, and even a plot in the center for an asparagus and rhubarb bed. Later when the grass, the brook, and the grown trees will have made of the sanctuary a pleasant place for strolling, they will be just as glad to share with the stu- dents the beauty and inspiration of the spot. MISS RUTH BENDER. Sixty-eight Peace Committee The Peace Committee of I-Iesston College and Bible School is composed of five members, three from the faculty and two students. The faculty members serve for a period of three years and the student members for two years. Each year two new members are elected-one each from the faculty and the Y. P. C. A. This combination makes it a school committee. This organization for the work of peace is in response to the request from the Peace Problems Committee of the Mennonite General Conference. At their meeting on June 5, 1928, they suggested that our church schools organize peace committees in order to further the work of peace. The aims of our local committee, according to the Articles of Organization, are as follows: 1. To perpetuate the historic attitude of the Mennonite people toward war. 2. To disseminate the New Testament doctrine of peace among our students, the church, and the world so that in times of crisis our attitude on peace may be better understood. 3. To acquaint our people with movements in the United States and in other countries that may prove detrimental to the maintenance of our peace ideals. 4. To collect peace literature for our college Library. 5. To assist students with literature for peace programs and encourage public programs on the subject of peace. 6. To suggest peace literature to Mennonite school teachers in our section of the church. 7. To cooperate with the Peace Problems Committee of the General Conference in every Way possible. Within the last two years the committee has sponsored several addresses-two in chapel and one evening lecture, one oratorical contest, assisted students for peace programs in Lit- erary Societies, added several new books on the subject of peace to the library, and suggested peace literature to Mennonite rural school teachers west of the Mississippi River. The present members of the Committee are: Faculty, J. N. Byler, chairman, Edward Yoder and S. M. King. Students, J. D. Hartzler, secretary, and O. D. Yoder. PROF. J. N. BYLER. OUR REACTION TO THE LONDON NAVAL PARLEY April 17, 1930. To the Honorable Herbert Hoover, President of United States, Washington, D. C. Dear President: 1. We desire to convey our high appreciation of the peaceloving sentiments expressed by you, our honored president, on Armistice Day and your strict adherence to the same posi- tion up to the present time. 2. There was also just reason for rejoicing at the pledges made by the heads of the various nations and their representatives previous to, and at the opening of the London Naval Conference. . 3. We regret, however, that what appears to have been self-interest and distrust among the nations represented, prevented the conference from accomplishing what all lovers and pro- moters of peace had hoped for, and what they had ample reasons to expect. 4. We urge that the United States take the initiative as a nation in reduction of arma- ments and thus distinguish herself in setting an example to other powers in the conviction that their strength does not consist in armies and navies but that righteousness alone exalts a nation and that the principles of the Prince of Peace alone can insure good will among men. 5. We pledge our support and our prayers to any movement that seeks to promote peace and harmony among the nations of the world to the end that we may continue to live a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and sincerity and that all men may follow their several pursuits in life undisturbed by the strife of men or the conflict of nations. Passed unanimously by faculty in relgular session of April 15, 1930. igne : D. H. BENDER, President. EDWARD YODER, Dean. J. N. BYLER, Chr. of Peace Committee. A REPLY FROM THE WHITE HOUSE The 'White House, Washington, My Dear Dr. Bender: April 26, 1930. The letter of April 17, signed by yourself and others on behalf of the Hesston College and Bible School, has been received and placed before the President. He wishes me to thank you and all concerned for your generous expressions of com- mendation, and assurance of support. Sincerely yours, LAWRENCE RICHEY, Secretary to the President.

To typify this spirit as it radiates from our campus, the motif of light radiation was carried out in the art work. A The influence of Hesston College is increasing. Although a comparatively young institu- tion, her influence is being felt throughout the world and she is making a contribution to the church who is responsible for her existence. To the alumni of the future we commit the trust of perpetuating the ideals and principles which constitute that which we call the SPIRIT OF HESSTON COLLEGE. Seventy-one Alumni The definition of education as a preparation for life is in general disrepute now. Edu- cators say it is not a preparation for life-but life itself. However that may be, were it simply a preparation-a thorough, inspiring one-its task would be a big and noble and worth-while one. True living is serving happily, unselfishly, and enthusiastically. A general survey of our alumni tempts one to conclude that even their shallow dip into the educational stream has g'iven them some magic insight into the true art of living-some urge that drives them on to live truly by losing their lives in service. They are an active, enthusiastic group-live members of the society in which they live. Their aim is the true one-brightening and en- nobling the spirits of their comrades. The approximate figures in the summary that follows show the trend of the activities which our alumni find predominantly serviceable. Of our present 500 members, 10 are for- eign missionaries, 23 are ministers, 32 are teachers in colleges or secondary schools, 67 are public school teachers, 23 are nurses, and 16 are ministers' wives. We number also in our group the office editor of the Christian Monitor, the superintendent of the new hospital at LaJunta, Colorado, the Hesston Postmaster, a lawyer, a barber, a dentist, three who have fin- ished the greater part of a medical course, three college deans and among the scattered fol- lowers of other vocations a score of noble tillers of the soil. If, after listening to these figures proving education a preparation for life, any reader yet doubts the value of training, let him ask a useful alumnus to compare himself as he is with it-to what he would have been without it. . MISS MARY MILLER. ALUMNI ENDOWMENT The first efforts toward establishing an endowment fund for Hesston College were launched by the Alumni Association. Two thousand six hundred eighty-six dollars and thirty- nine cents had been contributed when the present endowment campaign was started by the Board of Education in 1927. At that time the Association discontinued independent effort to join forces with the Board in the general campaign, and in these last three years have raised much more than had been contributed all together previously. Since 1911, nineteen classes have graduated from the Academy, five from the Junior Col- lege and eight from the Senior College. Every one of these has contributed during the gen- eral endowment campaign. The following list shows the amount given by each class.

Newton, Kansas Publisher of The Evening Kansan-Republican Job Printing--No job to large or too small In Conclusion Another volume of the LARK is completed and sent upon its mission. Like any worthwhile project it has been made possible only thru the efforts and cooperation of a great many different individuals. The students by their personalities and various interests have contributed to the life of the school which we have tried to picture. Their interest in the production of a good LARK has been appreciated. The business men of Newton! Moundridge and Hesston, through their advertise- ments, have been one of the main factors in making' the LARK financially possible. We thank them for their interest in Hesston College and recommend them. to our friends as worthy of their support. It has been a real pleasure to work with the Mid-Continent Engraving Co., Wichita, Kansas: The Kansan Printing Co., Newton, Kansas, and the Richert Studio, Newton, Kansas. Their suggestions and cooperation in making of the 1930 LARK an interesting volume have been thoroughly appreciated. THE STAFF.
