Statistics compiled by the American Association of Iunior Colleges reveal that the Iunior College marks the end of the period of formal education for about seventy-five per cent of those who are enrolled. The Curriculums of the Iunior College are designed to meet the needs both of stu- dents who will terminate their formal education upon grad- uation from Iunior College and of those who seek a general education as a foundation for more specialized work in the upper divisions of college or university. Whether the student continues his formal education or not, a broad foundation of general culture is desirable if he is to make his greatest contribution to society. l l t 9 F I l E F E 5 r I V l l , Ronald Graber, president: Helen Ianzen, secre- tary: Esther Rose Buckwalter, reporterg Earl Shaurn, treasurer, Earl Swartzendruber, vice- president.

Spirit, zest, originality, personality, scholarship, enthusiasm, Christianity, and talent in many lines-these are found in our members. We hope We will be forgiven because we are proud of our class. But may I ask, How can we help but be? Our class is represented in many activities such as choruses, quartets, Art Club, Expression Club, Travel Club, and athletics, and are active members in Y.P.C.A. groups. Our aim is to do the will of our Father in serving our fellowmen. We look forward to contributing more as We continue to prepare that we might serve Him better.

Our class has consisted of a number of last year's lower level graduates, and some new students includr ing ex-service and ex-C.P.S. men. We have also been privileged to have a French girl among our number. Members of our group possess many outstanding talents in various fields. Our class has played an active part in both men's and ladies' sports, in music, and in all social and religious activities. 4 One of our first gatherings, which will long be remembered, was the class educational tour to Topeka which was taken in the fall. It offered a splendid opportunity for learning to know our classmates better. Another time of real enjoyment was our Christmas party at the town hall. Amid the fun and enjoyment of social life, we have realized a deeper purpose in our school life. Our motto, Success is giv- ing ourselves to the cause, has been a constant challenge to each of us. This has applied to our school life as well as to our spiritual life as we have prepared for Christian service. We have had a year of real enjoyment and are looking for- ward to next year when we hope to be back again.

Through the guidance of our instructors our faith in God's Word has increased and we have a stronger desire to allow God to lead our lives. We have re- ceived deeper convictions and higher aims through our studies. We wmalways remember our class literaries and socials, but most of all we will remember our class devotions and the ringing testimony of our Chinese brother, Thomas Kung. Although he was with us only a few days his devoted Christian life has deeply impressed us. We cannot express our thankfulness to God and Hesston College for the privilege of attending these short six weeks of Bible school. H.

It is in full accord with our motto, 'fThe truth shall make you tree. Only as one knows the truth and has been set free is he really able to serve. The highest aim of Hesston College is to honor God by preparing young people for better service for their Master. Hundreds ot our former students are serving Him better because they attended Hesston College. My greatest desire for this year's students is that they may receive a vision from God, and a pass- ion to serve. He that will be great among you, let him be servant. -Milo Kauffman 36 IOHN KOPPENHAVER, B.A., M.A., B.D. Director of Student Personnel Psychology, Bible Always on the go . . . sense of humor . . .

We are happy to have young men back in school again, for this affords us the opportunity of satisfying our music loving public with the music they like so Well. The Men's Chorus numbers Well over forty and is the largest in the history of the school. The men were selected from a large list of con- testants after individual tryouts. The men are happy to have Professor Iohn Duerkson here. His ability and zeal has directed us to great channels of blessings through the medium of voices harmonizing together in praise to God. The first program was rendered at the Song Fest of the Mid-Western Mennonite Youth Rally held on the college campus, which began a busy Winter for the chorus.

Dear folks at home, If only you could visit Hesston College this last week of school. You're really missing something by not being here for our chorus program Friday night. We've been practicing and practicing. Am I ever glad you persuaded me to try out for chorus. Remember how scared I was and how happy you were when I wrote to you the astonishing news that I was not only a member of Ladies' Chorus but of A Cappella as well? lust think of all the good times I would have missed if you hadn't insisted that I at least try to get in! We chorus members will never forget how shaky we were at our first public appearance last fall. After that nerve shattering experi- ence we made it our personal business to know every word and note. Oh, there's the bell. 'Scuse me, please, but chorus meets this period and it would never do to be late. I'll finish this later.

Each year sees those girls who have, the best voices of suitable range, who know how to read music, and who are in good standing with their respective churches, added to the Chorus membership. All through the year, regular rehearsals are held, and at these, music specially suited to the singing of ladies' voices is studied and learned. But the purpose of the Chorus is not only to give the satisfaction ot learning new and interest- ing musical numbers, or to give opportunity for the development of musical talent, or even to merely give the pleasure of association in the pleasure of group singing, but also to give a meaningful testimony to the Lord. The close of each school year sees those girls who know they are going to be back next year, looking forward eagerly to it, and those who know they cannot be back, thinking back with fond memories to the many happy hours they spent in rehearsals and in programs. , Q. e,L' W .

This realization brought about the organization of what has come to be known as the Prep School' Chorus. Its aim is to give an opportunity for chorus experience to that group of students whose voice lack maturity and range, or who cannot qualify for the regular choruses because they lack musical experience. JOHN P. DU ERKSEN lrector 0 usic ctivitles After spending three years in Civilian Public Service, Pro- fessor Iohn P. Duerksen has returned to his former responsi- bilities as teacher and music director. The success of our choruses this year is accredited to his understanding of music, his concern to obtain the best from each Chorus, and his faithfulness in spending many hours each week working with these groups. l 49 ' uartets One ot the important parts of the musical program at Hesston College is the organized quartets. These groups have a regular practice period and average from three to tive hours of practice per Week. The quartets appear on various school programs as well as serving in nearby communities and in bringing the Gospel to others through programs on gospel tours. The thrill of being in an organized quartet is something only those of us who have experienced it can realize. Fred Yoder, Clifford King, Delbert Erb, Virginia Lee Baker, Mary Louise Robert Kauffman.

To bring the immortal into com- munion With the Eternal through worship and devotion is the supreme purpose ot our creation. The breath of God in every human soul demands fellowship with the Spirit ot God, and until the out- reaching soul iastens its grip upon God, it is not at rest. It is the purpose of the daily chapel serv- ice to assist every student in his search after God, in the molding of his character, in the stimula- tion ot his faith, in the strengthening of his convictions and in the forming of his ideals. Our chapel services emphasize that: The Christian life is an expression of the Christ life - H God calls you to be a missionary, do not stoop to be a king - lt does not pay to compromise with the Lord, for He cannot use us with reservations - The Christian life demands sacrificial living. is a y r i, g,trysg , g gQs, u,,' t ,, f T C C, .-.. trlt si ' Q ' ' ' N - c c t ,,g, ,A q , 4 E f Officers .

The Associ- ation was established and is maintained primarily for the purpose of providing avenues of service for the Christian youth who are attending Hesston College. This organization is divided into tive groups: the Extension, Social, Emergency Relief, Religious Meet- ings, and the Campus Groups. Each of these has its own particular work to do. Each student belongs to one of these groups. For everyone there is a way in which he can serve Christ, either on or off the campus, and the Young People's Christian Association is organized to help each stu- dent tind his or her field of service. 52 s, . -vs-,,,,1.g, '- ,-,, 755 f -.

Every Wednesday morning during the regular chapel hour We enjoy an inspiring program which has been planned by the Wednesday Morning Devotions Committee.

The programs are Dlanned by the Christian Workers Band Committee. The Thought for the Day Committee is iust what the name suggests.

At all times we endeavor to make this program con- ducive to Christian growth by upholding a high social atmosphere on the campus. 58 piritual gagfcliglz ts CLARENCE RAMER NELSON LITWILLER 5 SAMUEL IANZEN fe QM. -.., , . v- ...,,-- The spiritual highlights of the past year will cast their gleaming shadows far down the unknown path of hidden years. The extent of spiritual blessings received during this school year may be interpreted only in terms of concrete service devoted to future kingdom Work by the recipients of those blessings. A Through the ministry of Nelson Litwiller, our fall evangelist, over ninety young people made definite consecrations to the evangelical cause of Christ. The fruits of these consecrations were in evidence throughout the year and will continue to speak of dynamic, spiritual growth and activity in years yet to come. The Youth Rally, held during the Thanksgiving vacation, will always be remembered as one of the most outstanding religious events in the life of Hesston College students this year. Paul Mininger brought every youth who attended this series of lectures face to face with Christ, with the world, with temptation, with marriage, and with his life work. Decisions made during the Rally will have eternal significance. An intensive study of the Word is the greatest possible source of spiritual refreshment and recreation. The mid-winter Bible conference, conducted by Clarence Ramer, led many to a deeper appreciation of the rich spiritual teachings which lay buried beneath the symbolism of the Old Testament. An expanding missionary program of the church constantly calls recruits from the youth of our church to fill the ranks of the army of Christ. Missionary conferences held at various times during the year have increased the number of young people who have enlisted to this cause. 59' Student Work program Though we seldom appreciated sufficiently the work that almost one hundred of our stu- dent friends did, we realized that they were helping to make our college a pleasant place to stay. Often we fail to realize that we can serve our Creator, not only by giving testimonies in large crowds, spending time reading the Word and praying with others, but also in the homely tasks of Washing dishes, scrubbing floors, dusting furniture, milking cows, and even regulat- ing furnaces or pecking away at a typewriter. Hearing the dishwashers singing a well-known hymn, seeing that pleasant smile on the mail boy's face as he delivered mail, hearing the merry step of the janitor when almost every- one else on the campus was still in Dreamland, listening to the humming of a merry tune by a farmhand-all of this made us feel that Hesston College students learn to witness as they work. These expressions of happiness are especially impressive when we realize the busy routine of any student, aside from extra work. , Thank you, Mr. King, for your excellent supervision, and you, students for your faithful labors. .

Using a globular projection, the Agency routed the travelers to the Orient via the Arctic. Starting from Salina we traveled on the Union Pacific to Seattle, Wash- ington. We arrived there just in time to board the Douglas DC-4, one of the Pan American Airways' large planes. Thrills, chills, and appreciation resulted from this flight north by sky to the wondrous land of Alaska. From there our route took us over the top of the world to Iapan, China, the Philippines, East Indies, and again to the United States. There were many firsts for the group on this trip. Traveling by air over Alaska and by ricksha in China illustrates the two extremes in modes of travel. I Travel Club has been very educational, and we have the yen for more travel. 70 ,ant 'wr-K ome arts Hesston College seeks to cultivate the fine arts and natural abilities of each student who lives on the campus during the school year. They, in turn, seek to affiliate with some student-sponsored group that will give opportunity for ex- pression of those desires and traits that must be exercised. This determination to cultivate useful habits has brought onto our campus the Home Arts Club. Once each week, after busy hours in the class room, a group of student girls meet in the Home Economics cottage for rest and relaxation. The informal picture tells only part of the story of our activities and interests. Not only is the time spent in reading, sewing, knitting, crocheting, or other favorite pastime activities, but some meetings are devoted to the study of the art of making homes attractive and congenial, and each one learns to appreciate more the beauty of home and home life.

Three of the goals of the club are to increase our knowl- edge of science, to learn to perfect our skills in science, and to understand the importance of science in our lives. Our activities consist of chemistry experiments and informative films. Bi- monthly we have reports on the latest news and developments in science. Also occasionally we have detailed speeches on a specific scientific development. Our club motto is Behold the handiwork of God. We know that all scien- tific knowledge centers around God's creation. Therefore the study of the mar- vels of science helps up to understand God more fully. 73 ww- - f x XX X xXx l XG X l X X ' X ' M X X , X XXX xxyk XX K l .--X A Y 'Ag ff: ' X I f in N15 X gg Fir' h , f wr K if E ri' 357' 1 A Q' X l frfflffi' is 1 V' ' I 'YVLQV 1 X ,li f -ste, f 'fi - ...Aff T I T ff we ze.

This should be the desire of every Christian. There is a time to work and time to pray at Hesston Col- lege with other young people with similar aspirations. The fellowship of this Work and prayer is challenging. There is also a time to play. Indeed, for Christian young men and young women this is a part oi life itself-a very important part! So for a balanced life Hesston College .students take delight in wisely apportioning their time for living life at its best. I Cgournament flflyinners l. Sophomore boys basketball team 4.
