This was said by the Lord to Abraham long ago. This statement has been verified in the life of Abraham and especially in the years that followed his life. Surely if Abraham could see the triumph of l1is life in l1is descendants, he could surely say that through his trials, triumph came. Thirty years ago your Principal graduated from high school with the same motto as you have. And this motto is especially interesting to me because it was at my suggestion that my grad- uating class chose this motto. liven as l write this, I vividly recall making this suggestion. As with Abraham, so it is with you. God's promises of blessing will surely be fulhlled. But at the same time it is quite likely that God's blessings of triumph in your life and experience will come through many trials on your part. You have been with us in this institution, in which you have learned a few things. You have learned a little knowledge of things pertaining to this life and a little knowledge of the Scriptures. You have also been trained in a bit of sell'-denial, in obedience, in shar- ing with others, and havelearned to respect one another. You have had the privilege to be associated through the years with more mature minds than ,your own. Aside from your studies, which have widened not only your knowledge but your outlook, you have had the opportunity to become acquainted with various church leaders and workers, who visited our campus and spoke to us on various occasions. Wlith this school background we look forward to your going into life to become a blessing to others. Your personal example will count rnuch in being a blessing to others. We have endeavored to give you a full-orbed view of truth. The world is very much distorted and a full-orbed life will be a distinct contribution that you may give to the chaotic world of today. You can make this contribution in your home as a homemaker. You may make this contribution in your home church by living a faithful Christian life or by taking an active part in the service of the church. The Lord and the Church may call you to mission work here or there. You have been here to be blessed. XfVe are sending you forth to be a blessing. Nile are rather certain that you will find that any triumphs that you may experience in life will more or less come through the experience of trials. May you look to Him, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. That was triumph. May you follow in l-lis steps in a consecrated and devoted life for the service of the Lord and a needy world. This is the wish of your principal, --I. PAUL CQRAYBILL. U Class Aclviser's Message i This issue of the Laurel Wreath marks another milestone X, in the history of your school, but for you it marks more especially l another milestone in your educational career. For some of you i the hnal examinations of this school year will be the last of the kind. Others, 1 feel confidently, will go on in school work and what you are experiencing will serve as a steppingstone rathet' tltan a tertmintts. There are a number of rather important things that we hope you have gotten in your school experiences. It is important. that you have skills and knowledge which should be a part. of the courses you have taken. Certain attitudes which help you to adjust yourself to society and make a worth-while contribution should have been developed. An outlook on life which gives you enthusiasm, courage, and discretion should be yours as a result of experience and training. An appreciation of the accomplislnnents of great men and women in the past in many lines of endeavor should give you a desire to make your contribution to the time in which you live. The needs of mankind in this present age should arouse in you a seriousness and a concern to do your share in alleviating the suffering and hopelessness of a large section of the present-day population of this earth. What you have learned about the potentialities of the mind of man and the vast. forces in nature that. can be harnessed and controlled should be a genuine challenge to you, young men and women. XVhat you have learned about the debauched condition of much of mankind should inspire you to show yottrselves examples of character far above atty cause for shame. Your experience in school will have shown you that education alone does not. make a person useful, for many of those who have gone before you have not made a worth-while contributiong this should cause you to think carefully about your plans for your life. The biggest. contri- bution that a Christian school should make in your life is a feeling and a willingness to serve the Lord in whatever 1-Ie calls you to, -Nom-t G. Coon. To the graduating class of 1947: Cause me to know the way wherein I shottld work tPsalm 143:8j. This was the sincere prayer of one who recognized that .. God had a claim on his life and sought to surrender his life to , the accomplislnnent of the mission which God had for him to fulfill in life. Many laws, commandments, and doctrines of the Bible guide us in our daily walk with God, yet it becomes an individual matter to seek, to hnd, and to willingly accept God's plan for our lives. Chance has no place in a world created and ruled by an infinite Cod. As you leave the portals of this school, may you seek and find the place in life where Cod would have you serve. Accept the challenge of the abundant Christian life in Christ Jesusg and then may your life reflect the divine purpose of God. -CLYDE B. S'roN15R. 7 -X. . x its ge. fegpq iii. 2593 asv- v with messages to graduating class To the class of 1947: You have chosen as your class motto, Through Trials to Triumph. Now as you leave high school, you are unaware of the implications of this motto. The good Lord does not reveal in detail our futures, but He says, Have faith! May you have this faith in Him that will enable you to live victoriously. Look not merely for direction in the large things of life, but also in the smallest routine thing of life. Now, go! Live for Him and perchance, if need be, die for Him. -John S. Wenger. Dear Comrades of the Upper Road, may God grant you grace to meet each life issue, not only successfully, but triumphantly. The pages of the Bible and the annals of the centuries record the names of many who lived and died grandly for Christ. Those whose names are lost are not unknown soldiers, for their Leader remembers. When the battle is done, may the King Himself grant you a welcome into His presence, the crown of life, the victor's palm branch, and a part in the chorus of heaven. These are the glad rewards of those who overcame by the blood of the Lamb and the Word of their testimony. May they be yours. -Edna K. Wenger. Dear Seniors, When we want to make something perfect, we need a pat- tern. The more valuable our material, the more carefully we need to work. Are not our lives our most precious possession. and is not the perfection of our lives our most important task? For this we need a pattern. We cannot aiford to make mistakes. As our days slip past, they are hopelessly gone. So it is trc- mendously important that now We make our lives perfect, con- formed to the pattern of the One who has given us 'Lan example, that ye should follow his steps. Keep the Lord Jesus as your pattern in all thingsg and grow in grace and in the knowledge of Him and His will. -Lois N. Garber. To the Seniors: 'The years have rapidly passed since you first entered L.M.S. They have been busy years, happy years. Now you stand at the threshold of new opportunities and new responsibilities. Wheth- er the future, to which you are so eagerly looking, shall be suc- eessful or not will depend largely on the choices which you have already made, and on the choices which you are about to make. Of Mary, Jesus said, IShe1 hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her. It is your privilege, too, to choose the one thing . . . needful. To love the Lord Jesus, to serve Him, to obey Him, to let Him live His life through you will bring to you a life of peace, of satisfaction, and of fruitful- ness. -Myra E. Hess. S Faculty To the graduating class: Ye are not your own, for ye are bought with a price: there- gartei glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are 0 's. Graduates, you are called to serve God in the vigor of your youth, because you are God'sg He is your Master. You will glorify God by obeying His command to evangelize the world. However, the world is not only Africa or other countries far distant. Think first of your own community and of the many unsaved there. Pray God to give you a realization of the fact that they are lost. With that prayer will come the knowledge that unless you present to them the claims of Christ upon their lives, the responsibility for their lost condition rests upon you. Remember, graduates, you are God's. -J. Lester Brubaker. To the class of 1947: Congratulations! May the full blessings of God attend you as you go out from this school in the humble recognition of His sovereign grace and power, not only in the world about you, but in every department of your own life and person. It is the primary aim of this school to help you catch the vision of the true values C Neither count I my life dear unto myself -Acts 20:24J and real purposes C For to me to live is Christ -Philippians l:21J of life in the world. As you follow these principles, you are assured of our prayers back of you and of God's blessings upon you. -Amos W. Weaver. To the graduating class: Life is a gift from God. It is good to remember that it is not our own but that it belongs to Him, and that it is in Him we live and move and have our being. Life is meant to be redeemed, not Wasted. It is meant to be lived unto the Lord, not unto self. It is meant to be a pilgrimage through the world, not a citizenship of this world. Life does not consist of material possessions but of spiritual possessions. What advantage is it if one succeeds in gathering together great gain in this life and loses his own soul? What is life? To know Christ is life. To know Him is eternal life. Since Christ is the author, center, and goal of life, glorifying God can be its only real purpose. -Martha F. Mosemann. To the Seniors: To know Jesus-that is triumph, and so that we may know Him very Well He does allow trials to come. There are days when the Companion who said that He would be with us day by day until the end of the age, seems very far away. When the friends of Bethany needed Jesus so desperately, he abode two days still in the same place where he was. Jesus loved themg so He stayed away. They knew Jesus as a great Healer, but they needed to know Him as the Resurrection, and the Life. If Jesus seems to be away when trials come it is only because He is waiting to reveal Himself in a greater way. Tri- umph does come through 'trialsg and that triumph is to know Jesus Himself as He really is in all His glory and sufliciency. -Leah Kauffman. 9 with messages to graduating class To the Seniors: The path of life is an uncertain one. It may not be smoothly paved at all placesg it may not be flower-strewn all the Wayg the vista ahead may not be ever bright and goldeng but over- head the sun is shining, though clouds may hide it from view. Higher still, God sits enthroned and His Son ever watches our steps and will keep us if our minds are fixed on Him. He has first claim upon us and wants us to give Him priority in our lives. Our Journey will be pleasant and its end glorious and triumphant only if We travel the way together. Clayton L. Keener. To the graduating class: The 1946-47 school term is ended. Our hearts are burdened within as we think of the large number of students who are now entering the world to take up the great responsibility of living. These students have come here for one of two reasons: CD seek- ing aid in their Christian lives from Christian teachers and Chris- tian associationsg C23 parental influence and social pressure. Have We met the need of the latter? Our chief concern is with this group. Many of them have very little purpose in mind. Have I shared in the responsibility of leading these young lives into deeper communion with God? Have they gone away with a vivid impression that will endure the test of time? May God richly bless this graduating class as thev go into the world's harvest field is my prayer. -Richard Kling. Dear Graduates: The years you have spent at Lancaster Mennonite School were years of preparation for Christian service. The chaotic world needs true Christian witnesses more than ever before. With this trainingwe expect you to be a blessing to others. 1 Through the years I am sure you will appreciate more and more i the standards, ideals, and purposes you have received here. 2 May heaven's blessing rest upon each of you as you meet life's varied experiences and may God give you much grace to meet each trial triumphantly. -Mary Elizabeth Lutz. , Personnel We can hardly appreciate enough the tasks of our caretaker, Brother Samuel Ressler, and the cooks, Hettie Musser, Pauline Ebersole, Bertha Kraybill-, and Mabel Kreider. They are not as apparent in their labors as are the faculty members. I suppose some students think the cooks are more important than the teachers, i Brother Ressler takes great pleasure in keeping the campus in tiptop shape. He is always ready to mend a chair, repair the bells, or replace a light bulb. Sam was the only fellow who seemed to stay outside very long on those stormy, snowy days. He would stand back with his snow shovel as we students rushed from one building to another, glad to be out of the weather. The cooks reign supreme in the-kitchen. I suppose if you would have stepped around sometime and told the cooks ,how you hked their cooking, they would have appreciated it, but they know children. So long as the food does not come back to the kitchen, they know the students are eating it. I believe that mostly they do more than just eat itg they enjoy it. Mary Elizabeth Lutz is our efficient office girl, errand boy, mailman, and bookroom clerk. I believe she is one of the indispensable links in our big school family chain. You cooks, Sam, and Mary Elizabeth, don't fret if all the students haven't always shown appreciation for your efforts and maybe even shown contempt. Children will be children and eventually they will come to realize that your time is spent for their comfort and convenience.

C Q7 Class Presidents Message As we, the senior class of 1947, press on into a new phase of life, we find many oppor- tunities lying ahead of us. We are unable of ourselves tokface the future in a positive man- ner, so we accept Christ as our guide to illuminate the path which our great Creator has planned and designed for us to follow. How appreciative we should be that we have a guide to lead us through trials and on to triumph! Without such an one We would never see triumph. Spurgeon said there are no crown-wearers in heaven that were not cross-bearers here be- low. The fact is quite evident that trials must and will come. It is the way we face the trials and overcome them that determines the extent of our triumph. May we all approach life with its disappointments, afflictions, or whatever the trials are, never failing to follow our Morning Star which is ever shining brighter, inviting us into the greatest and final triumph for all noble characters who are cleansed by the blood shed by the Champion of trials and the Giver of triumph, -Paul Kurtz.

They begin with high hopes as they cross the Mississippi and embark on the wide plains with their luscious grass and many streams. Then they cross some larger rivers where they are almost drowned: but, in spite of this, they have their goal in mind and push onward. Then they climb some small foothillsg and in some minds there is the wish for home, while in the minds of the more determined this is not bad considering the end of the journey. At last they see tall mountain peaks towering over them, and the weary and the weak begin to doubt while t.he strong have their hearts set on the goal. Then they come to the desert, and some fall while others look longingly at the range of mountains that separates them from their goal. They climb the mountains, harried by snow, but on the last range of mountains they see the goal and fresh hope grips them as they hurry onward to their new home. So in life there are mountains and deserts, but we should always look to Christ and we shall have triumph after the trial. -.IANIIZS Ltrrz. lfVhat does this world have to oller? What is in it that calls so many? Yes, it may bring temporary pleasures to the carnal mind. They feel it is something to strive for, to accomplish popularity and fame in this world. They will spend all their time, money, and efforts to fulfill their desires. Vvllill, then, is the Chris- tian striving for, what is challenging him onward? Kale are working for Someone who has given all for us! VVe are IIOI seeking worldly honor, but we are seeking the respect of our heavenly Father. This not only gives us present happiness, but an eternal home in heaven. -ALMA LEFEVER. We all are conscious we have trials, but to balance them we also have tri- umphs. As we walk through, among, and beside the things and people of this world, we are confronted by darkness and shadows on our path. We, as sons and daughters of the King, can only expect to go through experiences which appear unpleasant to us, Oftentimes we are ridiculed and made fun of for our standards in dress and conductg however, we should remember our Leader is by our side at all times. Lessons maynhave seemed hard to us, friends may have proved untrue, or we may have been misjudged by othersg nevertheless we are challenged forward with the thought that the sun is shining behind the clouds. As we look into the future we are able to see in part the triumph for which we are undauntedly striv- ing. We need not wait for triumphs in future years and eternity. Today, if we take hold of the opportunities, we are challenged forward by triumphs. Feeling we have accomplished something to the best of our ability, living a victorious life for Christ, and standing true to our convictions, gives us a sense of triumph. Let us as young people go on carrying through our trials the banner of Christ tri- umphantly! -ELIZABETH BRUBAKER. How beautifull Definitely this motto should mean a lot to every member of our senior class. One may think of our individual problems as trials or figurative- ly as mountains which would appear so huge, were it not for our radiant goal ahead, crossing would be almost impossible. Each mountain crossed is another trial nearer our triumph, Each one of us must remember that triumph cannot be attained by merely sliding by or passing our burdens or trials to our fellow men. Can you imagine such a triumph? l'Vha.t satisfaction would you feel to know that you really don't deserve the triumph presented to you? But then, can't 53 you see the triumphant expression on his 'face who has mastered all his own trials and received the long-awaited reward? So come, fellow classmen, let us go forth to meet the trials assigned to us and attain blessed triumph! -IQOSANNA M. Yonicta. First of all, in order to triumph, we must set the goal to which we are striving. Having our goal fixed ever before us, we must then set Otlt to attain to it.. Success comes at the end of the race, not at tl1e beginning. As we go marching along the road of life to our destination, we need always to keep our courage high and our vision clear. lfVe need to retnember that we are DOL traveling this way alone, for Cod is there to take ottr hand in His and guide us. Again, we must remember that the true measure of success and triumph is not, Vvllill have l gained for my- self? but, lfVhat have I given to others? Last of all, we must rely on God for the strength to overcome trials and realize that only through His strength can we hope to triumph. -ANNA Fiuzv. The road on which the child of God travels leads ever upward. XfVhen the sinner is called by God to turn away from sin and he accepts God's offer, thereby being loosed front the Devil's hold, Satan tries with renewed ellorts to ensnare the soul of the believer. The newborn babe in Christ must earnestly seek the Lord through His X'Vord and prayer in order to grow, for he cannot always be a babe. He l'tlLlSL take the shield of faith to meet the enemy's darts. As he grows spiritually his Saviour becomes more precious to him. The Holy Spirit ever leads him into service. He may not be like a stagnant pool. l-le must travel on and, as he goes forward, he meets others who need a lift and some who should be directed to the upward path. Sometimes this believer meets God in the midst of a hery trial. It is God's testing time. Mfhen the bright side of the cloud appears the trav- eler comes fortlt purified and strengthened. His aim is onward and upward and tht-n-the eternal prize. -MARY Rn-it-tt.. 54 Autographs
