Dear Graduates: X'Ve are glad to send you forth as graduates of Lancaster Men- nonite School with the confidence that you have here received the visions, the ideals, the resignation, and the encouragement that it takes to help you share the Church's responsibility in the world. The Church is God's channel to show His love and salvation to the world. Submit yourself to the Lord and the Church. The Church has many opportunities for you, whether it be as an obedient disciple in the home, that of a farmer, a Christian teacher, or whether it be in the dark corners of the earth. May you both trust and obey the living Christ as you meet the future day by day. In Christian and teaching fellowship, J. Paul Graybill.

YVhen the senior class leaves school we cannot ask them where they are going. They do not know. They may have plans, but the future is not definite and we cannot plan for it with any degree of certainty. It is lair to expect that sixty seniors will do a lot of good if doing good is their purpose. It is my sincere hope that every one of you will use the days and months that the future holds to do much good for your fellow man and to bring much glory to your God. Strive for a very long time to maintain an intimate relationship with the Christian home, church, and school that contributed to your training. Come back to each of them often for re- newed friendship and encouragement. But most of all, seek the friendship of good, Christian men and women where you are and have constant communion with God.

Dear Seniors, You are now at an age in life which you will always remember with fond memories. As a child you looked forward to the time when you would be seventeen or eighteen years old and the time when you would be graduating lrom high school. As an adult, you will look back to these years and consider them among the best years 7, of your life-years in which you were hlled with the joy of living, preparing' to meet life's challenge and eagerly anticipating new re- sponsibilities and tasks yet to be accomplished. You will also recognize these years as having been the time when important lile decisions were being made as you surveyed the lields of service open to you. Today there are many forces at work in the world. Our lives are daily allected by the forces of good and evil in man's struggle for freedom, security, and laith in Cod. You have completed twelve years of school experiences. lhese have been years of hard study, earnest effort in the ac- quiring of knowledge and skills, joyful associations with schoolmates and active preparation for a useful vocation and service to mankind. You have had many opportunities for making your school days a rich experience. You will have many other opportunities to use your training and consecrated talents. Frequently it is observed that youth does not always use his opportunities wisely. He needs guidance and wise Christian counseling, 'l'his may result in a need for making frequent adjustments in life when our desires may conflict with those principles of wholesome Christian living. XVhen our lives are fully yielded to the will ol' God, this adjustment is not diflicult. But when restraint is met with resentment or a defiance for that which is right and when the counsel of older and more mature counselors is not sought or adhered to, many and bitter are the experiences which will follow to mar an otherwise useful life. As you leave school, I desire that you will have success in lile. May you explore new heights in your Christian experience that will bring lasting joy and satisfaction to you and courage and hope to those whom you meet. Set your goals of attainment high with Christ the 1Jl'C-6lll- inent figure in your life so that all men may know that it is the love of Christ which motivates you in your service to your fellow man. The world needs young men and women of strong Christian character whose lives are dedicated to the task that lies before them. May you serve your generation well, by the will of God. -Clyde B.

Appreciation of the New Dormitory YVe feel that the Lord has enlarged our borders here at l..M.S., by the addition of the new girls' dormitory. Those of us 'who spent some time in the old dormitory, especially appreciate this new one. YVe enjoy our large, cheery rooms, with plenty of closet space and attractive, well-chosen furniture. It is a pleasure to study at our convenient, individual desks. The large recreation room is an important part of our new dormitory. YfVe appreciate having such a suitable place to spend our leisure time. As seven-day students we are very grateful for the new laundry room and new equipment there. lVe especially enjoy the large social room, where we meet for prayer circle and other meetings. Its many 'windows and comfortable furniture make it a sunny and attractive place in which to meet. YVe certainly are grateful for the privilege of living in our new dormitory and we are conident that those who will live here in the future will also appre- ciate it. I ff -CAROL MAs'r. Mlhy do 'we appreciate our homes? Because it is a place where we can always go and know that we 'will not be turned away. Home is a place where we truly feel Hat home. Our girls' dormitory has also come to mean the same to us. Since a new dormitory has been provided for us, we appreciate our home even more. Our large social room has been truly appreciated, for there we gather together as a family, for prayer circles, reading, studying, and friendly chats. Although at times we fail to show our appreciation for the dormitory, we are sincerely grateful for it and are happy that we could call it our home, -Gr.Abvs XVRRT AND Hll.lJ1X RRNDFR. XVe are always glad to see growth and progress. XVhat don't we like to see developing?-minds, children, countries, and institutions. I appreciate the new dormitory because it is a sign of growth for Lancaster lXfennonite School, which is a part of the Church. This new dormitory expresses that the people of God are continuing to labor on for Christ. It means that the original quarters have be- come too small and expansion was necessary. The erection of the new girls' dormitory proves that Cod has blessed this institution and now more can avail themselves, under much more favorable conditions, of the opportunities and blessings found at L. M. S. -.TICAN KRAYBILI.. A new dormitory, like a new pair of shoes, is more comfortable after it has been lived in a while. It is also appreciated more after the newness has worn off. No longer do we go about awkwardly through the long, new halls, wondering who is behind each door. Girls, halls, and memories are being blended into a comfortable at homenessf' XVe like our new dormitory even better now than the day we moved in, be- cause it somehow has partaken of the character of its inhabitants. It is home to E501 us, it is the place where friendships have been formed, and it has truly become the place 'fXVhere Cod has given peace. Among the comforts our new home has brought us is ample space-there is room to walk, room to sit, and room just to live. Perhaps one of the greatest causes for friction comes when too many people are crowded in too small a space. The large size of our rooms, and our spacious living room make for congenial living. From the standpoint of health, we appreciate our ample lavatory facilities and our very splendid heating system. Socially and spiritually we are blessed in our new home by all being together in one building. The dormitory girls are no longer divided into the main dor- mitory, the cottage, and the NVeaver girls. This makes us more of a unit. XVe are very grateful to our board 'who planned the building, to our patrons whose generosity made it possible, and to our heavenly Father for His loving- kindness in giving us this beautiful new home. elm.-xii Cl. Kaurmmx, Matron. The New DO1'll1itO1'y is the result of a number of years, concern in thinking and planning for the best way to take care of expanding needs, as well as possible needs in the years ahead. November 15, 1948, plans for the present building were accepted by the School Board as submitted to them by the Building Committee. Credit for the planning is due to Brother Abram Horst, contractor, who was able to co-ordinate into a workable plan the general ideas of the Building Committee. At this time Brother Horst, rather cautiously, suggested the probable cost of the building would be between 33140000 and flSl50,00ll, possibly less. The Board felt that in light of the prevailing high prices of labor and mate- rial, this was not an excessive amount, as the plans called for a large building substantially built of brick, steel, and concrete. As the building work progressed, the Board was quite happy with the ellliciency and dispatch with which the build- ing was erected. The most cordial relations were maintained with the builders at all times, carpenters, masons, bricklayers, electricians, plumbers, etc. Due to Brother Horst's untiring efforts to get the best material at the best prices, and being constantly alert, he was able to report a number of times during the building operations, considerable savings over estimated costs in various important items. just one year alter the building plans were accepted by the Board, on November I5, l949, with the new building already several months in use, a letter of information was released by the Board reporting the cost of the building as fSl32,062.70. liquipmentg beds, bedding, dressers, chairs, desks, etc., SHL320. til. Grading about the building, and a modern drive together with a few additional items, ?llS7,035.55. So that the total cost of the building, com- plete with equipment, driveway and grading, cost but little more than the esti- mated cost of the bare building alone. XVe are indeed grateful to our heavenly Father, who, through the brotherhood, constantly provides for our needs. WA Mos YV. Wfmvica. E513 xl?

X'Ve learned how to take care of and make the best use of the things Cod has lent to us for our use. ln order to make a more interesting study, we went to different farms, mills, and other places of interest. Some of our discussion centered around cooperatives after visiting the Farmer's Co-operative, at Coatesville. XVC sincerely hope that these experiences will help to keep the Mennonite youth on the I'2il'111 and that they may farm to the honor and glory of God. -JOHN METZLER.

We sawed up the trees which were removed from the skating pond. Then too, we repaired the drive leading to the skating pond and placed benches on the one side ol' the pond. Our next job was to build two stiles to cross the fence. Keeping the basketball nets in shape and repairing the screens at each end oi' the tennis vonrts were other responsibilities of our group. Our campus is appreciated for its beauty, Let us keep it so. -sHARot.u REED. i671 'sz X lf Shop XfVe can recall with much pleasure our interesting Shop classes which met every Monday. XVe can almost hear the blows of the hammer and the buzz of the saws even now. 'V XVe find shop a very interesting and helpful activity which will be useful throughout our lives. Other than Mondays we work three days a week during the noon hour. A few ol the boys are making model airplanes and Conestoga wagons, while others are making wot-not shelves, wastebaskets, and cedar chests, XVe wish to thank Brother Jacobs for his advice and guidance in our study of woodwork. -RAY'lNIOND DENLINGER. mn Nature Study The more one learns about nature the better be appreciates the marvelous skill of God in creating this beautiful and fascinating world in wliirb we live. Our interest ranged from butterflies to stars. In our hikes we identified trees by their leaves and bark, and learned the names of some common wild flowers and birds. YVe found out how to make dyes from trees and plants, and learned the names of some of the star constellations. Our sponsor this year was Sister Wfenger. -JAMES Ban Hakim. f69l 153 ' J 3 i Stylus Seven seniors and one junior met weekly in Room A with our adviser, Sister XVenger. NYC not only took Stvlus to learn to write poetry hut to understand different types ol' poetry and to learn to appreciate good poetry. XVe Rnd it very interesting and helpful to give constructive criticism to each other concerning what 'we have written. Sometimes we exchanged the poems we wrote and read another person's as though it were our production. It worked more than once and, of course, made Stylus more interesting and also proved to he quite amusing. XVe are sure that the writing we do alter our practice and study this year will compare more with that ol' Shakespeares than our lirst attempts did. -Lots Rurn. lf70l l -Q wr Y' T1'aet Band You have probably guessed bv our nzuuc that our work deals rnostlv with tracts: however, we have also done some canvassing in Lancaster. First the tracts are placed in envelopes on which these words arc stamped. 'ZX Message For You. Next they are taken to Lancaster where they are distri- buted. This year the group is divided into two sections making a total of about fifty members with Brother Carpenter as our supervisor. 'l'hrough this work we hope that more souls Inav have found Christ. -ViRc:1NIA lNIAs'r. l7 ll First Aid First aid is the immediate, temporary treatment given in case of accident or sudden illness before the services ol' a physician can be secured. Actually performing these various procedures made a lasting impression on us. Because we know how and when and where to apply bandages, splints, tour- niquets, also to give artificial respiration and to exercise proper precautions in order to prevent mishaps, we can save a life and that life may be yours! Brother Good, our director, made our course interesting by mixing anecdotes with antidotes and by relating many practical experiencesg so in general we en- joyed this study very much. -PAUL LANUIS. tm Oral Expression Good speech is an art! Man has alwavs wishecl to improve his speech: Nloses complained to Goal because he was slow ol' speech. In Oral lixpression Class we try to improve our speaking. Already we have learnecl to tell stories, recite poems, anal improve our reading. XVe have been given relaxing exercises to take the tension out ol' our posture. and we have also been taught the proper use ol' gestures. XVe, the Oral Expression Class ol' ISHS?-50 owe our most sinrere thanks to Sister Garber, our instructor, lor the incliviclual help whit-h she has given us antl lor her patience, when our attempts were poor.

The singing in our 'worship services could be improved in many ways. Nile can all say we have a better appreciation of music because of Music H. First we studied and reviewed the rudiments of music. The main emphasis ol' the course is chorister training. Hymn appreciation and the learning of new songs proved very helpful to us. l'm sure Music II is 'valuable to anybody who has the responsibility ol' being a chorister or who has a concern for our worship through song in our church. -PAUL LANDIS. l80l nf' sq..w.,,,-fuk... if . , we 4.

Deulinger The night was cold, and dark, and dreary, I was lost, forlorn, alone. I sank upon the wayside, weary, I had wandered far from home. I heard approaching footsteps, faintly, Those footsteps incite no fear, For something great, and deep within me, Told me that the Lord was near. I blindly ran to meet Him, falling, Jesus heard my stifled moan. I heard His voice so gently calling, uFollow meg I'll guide you home. The Saviour stooped to help me upg 'twas Then I saw His nail-pierced hand. I knelt before Him, sadly weeping, 9 Lord, include me in Thy band l' 'Twas then He raised me up, and sadly Wiped a tear from out His eye. '4You need no longer SUHHT badly, 'Twas for you that I did die. His voice, so promising and mellow Caused the joyful tears to flow. I whispered, uLord, I'll ever follow, Lead the way to heaven now. He leads the way, I'm following upward To the realms of endless day 5 And I'm followingh-following onward, Ever serving, all the way. T361 Onward, Ever Serving -0'-0--o--Q--ooo'-0--Ov When we as Christians think of our motto, Onward, Ever Serving, we think of serving our Creator and King, before whom every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess. It is because of our love for Him that we want to go on in life continually serving. As we look into the future we seek God's will for our lives, in what phase of life He -would have us serve. To be of use in the world is the only way to be happy. It is only after we have the love of Christ and serve others that we ourselves can have a happy life. It is not the place or rank of service that makes us happy but whether we are serving in the center of the Lord's will. It is through rendering lovint service to mankind that we can serve God. lt is our duty to help one another and make others happy but we should not serve because we feel' we are obligated to. lf we render service in that way we will likely IlOt be very happy and those we are helping will not have the full joy either. Our service should be to the praise of his glory. As we are serving, the glory of Cod should be manifested and seen and He should receive praise and honor. How much of our time do we want to serve? A few months out of a year, or a few days of each week, or just how much of our time? We are going to go onward ever serving. Ever includes each month of the year, every day of the week, and-yes, every moment of our lives. Happiness comes from striving-doing-loving-achieving-conquering-ab ways something positive and forceful: so let us go Onward-Ever Serving. -EXRLENE lisHELMAN. As Christians we must be Onward, Ever Serving. The little ways by which we can serve our fellow men and our heavenly Father are a mere fraction of what Christ did for us. Christ, the Son of God, was willing to place Himself on the level of man. Not only that, but He led the life of a servant. Christ was continually doing a kind deed for someone. If Christ, the Son of the Most High, became as a servant, how mu-ch more humble we, as mere children of the dust, should be. YVe should be as a windowpane. One never sees the glass but sees the beauti- ful scenery on the other side. So our life should be-Christ seen through us. Christ is the guide and example for us as Christians. Our Guide is always leading us forward into a life of service. f87l One who loves his fellow men will iwant to help them whenever or wherever he is needed. Not only will he help the rich but the poor as well. Our Example, Jesus, was usually in the company of the worst kind-sinners, mentally ill, and poverty-stricken people. We see in Christ a servant, a guide, and an example. Therefore, if we follow Him we shall al-ways be Onward, Ever Serving. -NIARIAN HOSTETTER. We have spent several years here at school and now we are almost ready to leave. During this time we have been preparing for the future. The time is now coming when we will use all these things which we have learned. We must go onward and forward, ever serving Christ, our Maker and King. Each one will be called to serve where he is best fitted to serve. It may mean for some of us leaving our homes and going to some faraway mission field while for others it may mean staying at home right where we are. But whatever our calling may be, may each of us be willing servants. -HELEN IQANCK. To different people, these three words hold different meanings. A school- teacher is happy when she helps her pupils. Nurses enjoy taking care of the sick. The missionary believes he has the most pleasant of all tasks because he enjoys serving. A housekeeper's delight is in seeing her house neatly arranged and clean, or having a good meal prepared for her family. A smile lighting the face of a waitress gives evidence she is enjoying serving her customers. A doctor's love for mankind is evident in the type ofoccupation he has entered. A minister tenderly guarding and caring for his flock shows that love is present and a desire to serve. For a Christian to do any of these things willingly is because of an inner compulsion to serve. Serve whom? Serve Christ through man. Why serve? 'fThe love of Christ constraineth us. -HELEN KEENER. . Onward! If Christ does not return to receive His bride within the next fifty years, most of us will be going onward in some way. But whom will we be ever serving P Our lives will profit nothing if they aren't Christ's. We can perhaps serve humanity in some profession but 'we can not serve spiritually with- out Christ as our all. Wle simply can not give God only part of us to serve Him and keep the rest to serve our Heshly desires. Pressing forward fully yielded and ready to submit everything-then and then only will our lives be profitable and fulfill Christ's will in us, -ETHE1. PETRE. E881 Class History September tenth, and the sun shone a little brighter and the classrooms got a little hotter to make it just a bit more miserable for -sixty-eight nervous, little freshmen who were to undergo the cross-examination of registration. VVQ lost our nervousness when we got acquainted with more of our classmates by means of a get-acquainted social. Then, too, for an opening address, Ira D. Landis 'spoke on the subject. I would not have you ignorant, brethren, and after that we spent some of the most interesting days of our lives. VVe didn't .always appear as if we belonged in high schoolg for inst-ance, the time when .Sister Hess asked a history student if our country has a pure democracy. Oh, no. answered the student, there are still a few Republicans, But 'school life continued, with Brother VVenger as our class adviser and we soon elected Kenton Brubaker as our class president. Our revivals were conducted by Milton Brackbill and Harvey Shank. Remember that day, when we went to the chapel tthat chapel is now room Cb. the great secret was revealed and Sidney Schaeffer gave us some very good readings? They will never be forgotten. if i ll Then we left our books and friends, but it wasn't long until we 'again returned for our sophomore year, the year to cut frogs and have Brother Keener for our class adviser. But this year seemed differentg no longer did we meet in the cozy chapel that always was 'too small. but now we assembled in the auditorinin, which was soon improved by installing a loud-speaker in the room. Brother Harold Brenneman started the year otf right hy giving us a very forceful talk on. Making use of our time. Then we elected Norman Shenk as our president. We will never forget those sophomore days. YVe marched with Caesar under Sister lVenger's guiding eye and conquered verbs and nouns as a pastime in English. lVe remember our ice-skating party that cold night by the crackling tire, and also our class outing across the Mill Stream. Brother .Iacob Rittenhouse and Brother Amos XVeaver had our autumn and spring revivals. I U U The doors of I,.M.S. swung open again on September 14, 1948, admitting us now as the jolly juniors. WVe were now beginning the second half our high-school days. VVe welcomed new classmates and now numbered fiftyefour. Allen Boiler was elected to preside at our meetings during the year. This year was varied and inter- esting, though naturally most of our time was taken up by class and study. VVe had to make room in our brain cavity for almost anything, from the learning of our presidents in American History to a better understanding of our Bible in Bible Survey. Some of us strove to master the German tongue. One pleasant part ot German I was the reading of Germelshausen. Do you remember Ivanhoe in English class? Un November 24 we gathered in the dining hall for an enjoy-able even-ing. The beauitiful chrysantheinums decorating the front wall, that turkey dinner. the special singing. Sister Garber's slides of the ruins of Europe and also Swiss scenery. and Brother Irvin I1ehman's message all contributed in making our Thanksgiving social a day worth remembering. Did we forget Donald Mast's mishap? VVai May Chan visited us during the Christmas season and gave us a Merry Christmas by writing it on the blackboard in Chinese. One day some men were noticed to be working in the north field. Yes, this was the beginning of our new girls' dormitory. Our parents enjoyed open house with us on February 28. There were also demonstrations of class ac- tivities and a program. Raymond Charles was our evangelist this spring. lVe must not forget the trip to the moon in which the Physics class participated on April 25. Our take- off place was Franklin Institute. U ll 1 'Seniors we were on September 13, whether we realized the depth or signihcance of that title or not. After welcoming new classmates we discovered -that we now filled sixty-one seats. The girls started their life in the new dormitory very well pleased with their surroundings. Kenton was chosen to serve as our class president in this our final year at L.M.S. Congratulations go to Virgil Stoltzfus, who achieved a lifetime subscription to THE MILL 'STREAM during the subscription drive. If our memory had failed us since our Algebra days when we learned equations always balance, we had to learn anew that chemical equations must always balance. This was the year we met Macbeth in English. XVe remember Reinhard and Elizabeth as old friends in German II. Our iP.0.D. trip to Harrisburg was a ne'er to be forgotten trip but that was only a foretaste of our VVashington trip to come on April 21. lVe became proficient in posing for pictures and also in doling out our individual pictures. Our Laurel YVreath staff discovered that producing a yearbook is interesting but time-consuming! Two inspiring revivals conducted by Brother Raymond Charles and Brother Elmer Kolb were deeply appreciated. It is with fond memories that we look back upon our Mill Stream days, but there is no more time to dwell upon this past so may we onward go with service as our charge.
