10 TI-IE LARK AN APPRECIATION We deeply feel the inadequacy of words to express our feeling as to what the faculty has meant to us, the College Sophomore class. We will never be able to fully appreciate, and never be able to repay what they by their lives of ex- ample, sacrifice, and admonition have given us. IRVIN E. BURKHART Bible, Psychology A.

iz Fine LARK The Presiclent's Message MILO KAUFFMAN A. B., Hesston College, 1926: South Dakota State Teachers' College, Summer 19263 B. D., Northern Bap- tist Theological Seminary, 1930: A. M., Presbyterian Theological Seminary, 1931. Brother Milo Kaufman is a beloved son of Hesston College. His strong Christian life and earnest evangelistic preaching have given him awide and appreciative acquaintance in the Mennonite Church. The constituency of Hess' ton College and Bible School welcomes him as President of the school for the coming years. This Annual reminds us that Hesston College has come to the close of another school year. Ano- ther class of graduates is added to the evergrowing Alumni Associa- tion of Hesston College and Bible School. The members of this As- sociation are scattered far and wide. They have been blessed by Hesston College, and are in turn a blessing to their fellowmen. They ' are living and irrefutable argu- l ments of the advantage of a Christian educa- tion. True, not all have made good, not all are loyal citizens of Christ's Kingdom, for no in- stitution has ever succeeded in producing a membership that was one hundred percent loy- al. A careful study of the present Alumni of Hesston College, however, will persuade the unbiased mind that the effort, energy, and ex- pense of operating the institution thus far has been well repaid. We hope and pray that the members of the classes of '32 will go out as faithful witnesses of Christ, and will be a credit to the Alumni Association, as well as living adver- tisements for Hesston College and Bible School. We hope that during the past few years they have received such inspiration and help that they will be prepared to face the duties and responsibilities that will be theirs, as they face life's work with its problems. God bless you, Classes of '32, and may you be a blessing. What will be the future of Hesston College ? The institution has filled a real place in the work of the Church, and in the advancement of Christ's Kingdom in the past. Has she finished her work ? Such are some of the questions we are being asked in this time of crisis. If Hesston College should close its doors at the expiration of this school year, its founders and leaders would not regret that the institution came into existence. BUT HESSTON COLLEGE IS NOT CLOSING ITS DOORS. HESSTON COLLEGE HAS A FUTURE. It is the conviction of those closely connected with the school that it is merely in its infancy, and that the future holds a still larger place for Hesston College than the past has held. The school is needed by the Hesston community, by the middle West, by the Men- nonite Church, and we believe that God has a place for Hesston College and Bible School in the future of His work. As We think of the past, we think of change brought about in the lives of our students. Some have made surprising intellectual advancements. Some have made rapid strides in the development of Christian character. Others have found, and accepted, the Saviour While with us. Still others have responded to Christ's call to ser- vice, and have given themselves in- to His hands to be used of Him wherever He sees best. Some are even now in foreign fields, disseminating the Christian spirit of Hesston College, while others are doing a no- ble Work in the home fields. We hope to see, under the providence of God, an institution at Hesston that increasingly will continue to be a benediction to many lives. During the year our teachers have faced courageously the problems and handicaps resulting from the present depression. In spite of the discouragements and sacrifices, they are unanimous in their determination that Hesston College must continue. It is encouraging also to see how friends are rally- ing to the support of our school, and to see that there is a conviction that is church-Wide that Hesston College must continue to func- tion. With such conviction and such support there can be but one answer as to the future of Hesston-she must go on, and she will go on. May I ask everyone who reads these lines to pause a moment to ask God's blessing upon our work at Hesston? If the institution is to continue to serve the Church we must have the support of the Church in prayer, students, and finances. We are counting on you as a supporter.
