Each talent we own, each ability, our knowledge, and entire being must be laid at the feet of the Master, so that these energies and the vigor of our youth be used ex- clusively for the furtherance of the work of Christ in His kingdom. Self, its desires, longings, and wishes must be completely forgotten as we press forward with one accord, united in the purpose that all be given, lost, or spent to win the siege of life for our Captainis glory. Let us hold nothing too dear, but return to Him that portion He justly deserves-the all. The Christ we serve, so loving and tender, once gave His all that we might live. That sacrifice was too great, too wonderful for us to comprehend or attempt to repay. But let us with true gratitude humbly bow before Him in self-resigna- tion. Then He, who is almighty yet so gentle, will in love stoop down and touch- ing our nothingness transform it into that which throughout life and forever after will bring honor and glory to His holy name. -JOYCE E. STOLTZFUS ,51. Humbly I bowed before the King and gave Him my life, glad that I could do this little thing for one who had died for me. My life is yours, Lord, to mold and pattern after your own will. My aims and desires are no more mine but Cod's.v Our all for Christf, I whispered, and in amazement I realized that what I give to Christ has always been His. Then the love I have for Christ overiiows and again I give to Christ everything which concerns my life. -ANGELINL ZEHR ,5l. This motto will have a different meaning to different members of the class. It may mean, for some of us, staying at home and witnessing at our back doorsf' while for others it may mean leaving home and serving Him in some foreign mis- sion field. To still others it may mean serving Him in some distant city or in the worst slums of a town. As we go forth our prayer and aim will be, 'cOur All for Christf' -ELIZABETH WENGEH 351. As we give ourselves wholly to Christ, we can have power to take Him wholly for ourselves, and as we lose ourselves and all we have in Him, then He takes us wholly for Himself and gives Himself wholly to us. ls not this the blessed life? Our desire is to love Him supremely, to know Him, to choose His will for us, to trust His Word, to grow more like Him in character, to glorify Him only, to enjoy Him wholly, and belong to Him utterly and forever. This is the natural result of a life dedicated fully to Him. Christ has not asked us to abide with Him, but in Him. Abide in Him and life will be sweet! -ELLEN RosE VVEAVER '5I. 50 Yesterday he had received his diploma. He had dedicated his life to Christ to be used wherever he was needed in Christis field of service. He thought he had dedicated his all, but was he really willing to give all? Among his talents he had treasured his speaking ability with which, when he used it, he could easily persuade audiences. Was he willing to give that to Christ? No doubt he could make quite a sum of money if he would present speeches and participate in debates. But hadnit he dedicated his life to Christ-not to the world? Then from far back in his mind came his concern for the condition of the world, souls were hourly passing into eternity without Christ. Maybe Christ had given him this talent to give the Gospel to those lost, forlorn, sin-sick people. He had always loved country life, but would he be willing to go to the city? He thought for a while. He would be willing to work for Christ if-if he could choose his place. He rather disliked city life, at least the year he had spent there. Then the song, Anywhere with Jesus I Can Safely Cof' came to his mind. He had often sung this song, did he actually mean it? Was he ready and willing to go anywhere? In silence with bowed head he struggled, he prayed, at last he said, Yes, Lord, to Thee I have dedicated my ALL. Anywhere, Iill follow. -RUTH SAUDER ,51. He gave His all for us. How can we do less than give our little lives for Him? ifo give our utmost is not to begin to repay Him, but is only an evidence of our ove. Our lives for Christ, to live, serve, and die for Him. Our time for Christ, to use it in a way which will be pleasing to Him. Our possessions for Christ, not to hoard them for ourselves, but to be faith- ful stewards of the things which He has entrusted to us. -ERNEST KRAYBILL '51. It is not only the big deeds that we can do for Christ, but we can also do small ones. The boy who gave Christ the few loaves and fishes no doubt thought it to be a small thing, but in the hands of Christ it grew to become sufficient for a multitude. I believe it proved to be a great blessing to that boy. We too can have a great blessing, if we give our talents, our time, and our treasure to Christ. -DOROTHY BoLL '5I. In this world about us today, everyone is seeking realism and trying to see the cause for everything. Everyone is trying to analyze his actions to see if it is the logical thing to do. Only we as Christians can see the final truth and beauty in life. As we go forth and try to see the Lord's plan for our lives, what could be more logical than to give our all for Christ? -IOHN BUCKWALTER ,5I. May this be the motive and desire of each of us, to give Our All for Christfi The Lord may not always call us to work for Him where we wish to work. It may only be a small task. Remember, the Lord needs willing workers, willing to do and go wherever, whenever, and whatever He wants us to. May we be ever ready to give up our stubborn wills and be of use to the Lord. -MABEL PICKEL ,51. 51 In a world of sin, strife, and selfish living, the Christian stands back and says, Lord, take my life. While others are grabbing, each one for himself, the Christian denies self and puts others next to Cod. Our All,', is the voice of the entire group, but it is an individual matter. Each must meet Christ and at the foot of the cross cast his all at His feet. We cannot keep them for ourselves, either God or Satan will have Our Allf, Satan has no rightful claim on our livesg and how it must grieve the Saviour to have the person He died for, push Him aside and reject Him entirely. How would you feel, if after you risked your life to save someone, that person wouldnit thank you and even would work against you? Yet as long as the world stands, millions will be doing this very thing. The challenge is ours. Whom will you serve? Let us stand for Christ and, with i'Our Allv given to Him, go forth in His service. -.loHN h'lE'l'ZLER ,5l. The tendency today is to follow the crowd, and the crowd is going the way of evil. Sin has caused misery and torture on every hand. The clouds of sin are gathering on every side. There is but one ray of hope which we can see above the darkness of sin. That light is Christ jesus, our only Hope. Let us go to our unsaved fellow men whose eyes are blinded by the fog and filth of sin to point them to His only hope. That shining light in the midst of dark- ness. Let us pledge our lives to the One who gives peace. Let us pledge, Our All for Christf' +TVrUs ISENIJER ,51. We have a motto that is lofty enough to challenge each one of us. lt will take effort, sacrifice, humility, faith, and the guidance of His Spirit to attain it. Our motto is attainable, but not in ourselves. We must follow His leading and give our all to Him. -WVILMER HOLLINGER '51. Anyone who gives his all to Christ will never regret it, and further, Christ has promised that there is no man who has left all for His sake and the Cospelis, but he shall receive an hundredfold in this time, and in the world to come eternal life. -BENJAMIN HERSHEY '5l. 52 t r w C LASB XVILL The graduating class of 1951 willingly lay aside their books and pencils for the use of next year's senior class.

To the members of the 1951 graduating class: 'cGuide of my youthf, unto old age will I guide theefi YVhat a truth is suggested in these statements-a promise of guidance. The Lord has promised guidance to youth. He has prom- ised guidance 'Seven to old agef, You are leaving the school. You have been young While in school. VVe believe the Lord has been guiding you While in school. The guidance from the Lord has, in part, come to you through others, through your teachers, through your schoolmates, through prayer meetings, through revival meetings, and also through discipline, and through your parents. Now you are going forth from us. The Lord will continue to be with you to guide you. The things you have learned through these past years will be guiding principles which you can use in your life in the years ahead. You will meet new situations, new problems in the years ahead. But you may count on Codis guidance for Whatever situations arise. Today you scatter: some to the farm, some to the shop, some to the sehoolroom, some to the mission field. You know not the problems that you will face. But whatever life has for you in the future, We assure you that 'ceven to old agen the Lord will guide you. As you leave us today we commend you to the Lordls guidance. To the Seniors: You have had many experiences in school that are intended to be of help to you. Nlany of these experiences We have learned With you for the first time, others We have had often before and shared with you for the purpose of challenging you. Some of these lessons have been very interesting, others have been hard and trying. The fact that you have been challenged is not what counts, but how you responded. The fact that you are being graduated is evidence that you have learned hoxv to make fa- vorable responses to challenges and to problems that you face. ln the future you will have many decisions and opportunities before you. VVith all the things in the World that are dis- couraging today the prospect forthe young man who Wants his life to be a testimony for Christ is still bright. The challenges are great.

Dear Graduates: The school year just completed represents the conclusion of one phase of your training in the acquiring of assets which you will invest in the life before you. Among the assets which you can claim today are: flj a high-school education conforming to the standard of requirements as set by the state of Pennsylvania and as provided through the Mennonite Church with the help of Christian teachers who have had an interest in your moral, physical, intellectual, and spiritual development: a Christian heritage handed down to you by your parents and those of previous generations who through faith in God loved and obeyed His commandments, a heritage of freedom in a land of democratic principles of government where you have been privileged to live as a child and youth under a government that has granted and even en- couraged freedom of speech, freedom of worship to God, and the recognition of the individual conscience to follow the teachings of Christ, CLD a wealth of knowledge through scientific discoveries, industrial progress, and literary achievement, unusual opportunities for exer- cising individual initiative and development, CGD a young life full of energy, physically strong. mentally alert, spiritually humble, with a supreme and undaunted faith in God. WVith these assets at your command, some of which are acquired through opportunities pro- vided by the vision and effort of the church leaders, encouragement and sacrifices of parents, and the initiative, aptitude, and hard work applied by you personally, there are also other as- sets which you have acquired through no choice of your own-given to you by virtue of your birth and the place in the society which you live. XVith all these assets at your disposal, you may say that life is good, that now you can go into the world and receive due recognition and win for yourself honor, prestige, wealth. But stop and ponder for a moment. XrVith all these sources of strength and development come also the obligations and liabilities which you owe to others-obligations which you need to honor-to your church, your parents, your school, your country, and your fellow man. The manner in which you invest your assets is indeed important and brings varying degrees of satisfaction, not through any personal compulsion, but through a genuine willingness and desire to render service to others. With the world torn and bleeding from strife, hatred, hunger, greed, and jealousy, the Christian young man or woman may lose his sense of duty to his fellow man in his eHort to make a safe and worth-while investment. Our Lord came into the world for the expressed purpose of ministering to the needs of mankind and to give His life a ransom for many. We should be willing to use our assets as they should be used, in the service of the Master, consecrated to His cause, and under His blessing bring comfort, hope, cheer, love, and above all, the message of salvation to those who know not the Lord. As you faithfully serve your Lord with no reserve for self, the Spirit of God will dwell within you and bless your efforts. The rewards in this life may be small, but eternity will reveal Godis rewards for those who have been faithful. 59 General Science, Business Training, Agriculture Interesting science teacher . . . sense of humor . . . chair- man of discipline committee . . . understands students . . . deep thinker . . . conscientious . . . good conversationalist.

They were taught in separate classes because they do not hear. They are able to understand much that is spoken in their presence by watching the lips of the speaker. Because it is easier to be sure that they understand all that is said, they were in a class by themselves for most of their work. They like their work at Lancaster Mennonite School. Sister Croft interprets the evening prayer circles, Student Religious Pro- grams, and various other meetings that are of special interest for the deaf-mute students. Her Willingness to interpret these religious activities to Pauline and Catherine is deeply appreciated. THE CARETAKER Whether drifting snow or falling leaves cover our pavements, he's on the job. During the long summer months he keeps the lawns in that green carpetv con- dition. He is familiar with all the eccentricities of the heating and plumbing systems.

The NIH! Stream is a thirty-two page periodical published monthly by the Lancaster blennonite School. This little magazine doubles as a literary paper and news magazine. The purpose is to represent the educational, social, and religious phases of our school to interested friends. lVriting is done almost exclusively by students, teachers, and alumni ofthe school. lVe hope you like itl -ERNIQST KRAYBILL '51 80 Stylus Each week as the members of Stylus gather in a circle in Room XX, we study the literary works of great poets. As we study these poetic ex- pressions, we become acquainted with the thoughts and experiences of great men of the past and present. 0ur attempts at writing are given helpful consideration and con- structive criticism by the class and our advisor. VVe learn of not only meter and rhyme but also the deeper significance of poetry. Thus we develop our abilities and learn to respect and appreciate human culture as reflected in poetry. -jovcii li. S'l'Ul.'I'ZFl'S '51 Sl Cliorus Activities lvhat is that l hear? Music? It probably' is since there are quite a number of music groups around here giving their renditions from time to time. There are good and bad ways to do practically anything. So in hlusic l and ll we endeavor to learn the right techniques to use in song leadership. ln the various choruses, including Senior, Junior, and Girls' Chorus, the principle objective in mind is to learn to sing well in a group. At various times through the year, these groups have presented music programs to the school. Those songs which presented the greatest chal- lenges to us, came through The Holy City and Rodeheaver's Chorus Selections. hlany of these challenges we have faced and overcome. But none of us can bury our face in our hands and weep because we have no more to overcome, as Alexander the Great did after he had conquered all the nations he knew of. -JWIRIAM S.-XUDER '51 82 H0lllClllHliillg lNIartha, do you think that will he enough ice cream for 30 people? That sounds like one of the remarks that was made in homemaking when we were planning meals. Homemaking is very interesting. The name homemaking suggests pretty well what we do. XVe do 'most anything that is included in the making of a home. Ylle plan meals, study furniture arrangement and color schemes. VVe also took a field trip to the lflectric Kitchen in Lancaster. There we saw demonstrated the laundramat and dryer, stove, refrigerator, ironer, deepfreeze and dishwasher. l think all of us girls who took homemaking this year will appreciate it a lot more in years to come. -Bli'l l'Y tI,xN1f: Book '52 Shop If you have ever heard a lot of sawing and hammering the first period Friday afternoon you may as well say it is the shop class. Fourteen of us hoys chose this extracurricular activity. Vlle find shop a very helpful activity which will he useful throughout our lives. .AX few of the boys have made Conestoga W'agons for Pennsylvania History projects while others have made waste baskets, corner-shelves, magazine racks, and lamps. lve wish to thank Brother Jacobs for his advice and guidance in our study of woodwork. -Rosicka' B.

'XVe are especially thankful when the Weather permits us to meet outside on the lawn. This seems to bring us more close to God since we are in the midst of His handiwork, nature. It is my desire that we may end our day of life just as we end each school day-end it with God. -NIIRLAXM S.'Xl'DIiR '51 84 Student Religious Program lifach morning the entire student body assembles in the auditorium to begin the day with God. Brother Graybill or Brother Good usually lead our devotion, with scripture reading, prayer, and singing. XVe are often privileged to have a guest speaker take charge of this period. On Tuesday mornings the students have charge of this period along with a religious pro- gram. Throughout our school years we have received many spiritual bless- ings from these services. Vvc feel it is an essential part of our program and the best way to start the day, jol1N iXlli'1'Zl.IiR '51 85 W if if ,slay . -396 ggamrsv. ,wir ' yi t 2 2 ...N 3 ,M f. Q97 5?

Brother Bauman, our instruc- tor, has presented many interesting and profitable suggestions for improved methods of farming. Besides the study of a variety of lield crops, we have had some helpful discussions on poultry and dairying, etc. This class meets only once a week, but we have learned many worth- while things. Field trips to local business places and farms, also give us practical information. Seed time and harvest on the farm reminds the Christian farmer of God's great harvest field. -jixmias KREIDICR '53 86 Campus Il1lP1'0V61l1611t A group of fellows interested in improving our school campus joined together and with Brother Jacobs as our advisor and fellow worker met every Monday at 3:00 p.m. ready for work. VVe leveled the baseball field, spread ashes on the parking lot, picked up sticks, pulled logs out of the stream, filled the skating pond, sawed logs, cleaned banks, and many other things which folks do not know are done, but would soon be very noticeable if let go. YVC received good pay for our efforts. Our pay is the satisfaction of seeing our campus clean and neat. VVe can all truthfully say, our last period on Nlondays was well spent. -Davin I,1cAMixN '53 87 First Aid First aid is the temporary and immediate care given before the services of a physician can be obtained. Often it may mean the difference between life and death, therefore proper aid is necessary. First aid tells us what to do only until the doctor comes. The purposes of first aid training are: To prevent accidents. Train people to do the right thing at the right time. To prevent added injury or danger. To provide proper transportation if necessary. Our advisor, Brother Good, has instructed the two sections of our class how and when to apply bandages, tourniquets, splints, and also how to properly give artificial respiration. In this fast-moving age, chances that we will have to meet are greater than we think, we may be ableto save a lifeg perhaps it might be yours! -Viaomm MAST '51 88 Recreation In a school Where there are students living for five days a week, the recreational facilities are an important part of the program. VVC have a beautiful campus and woodland in which to enjoy nature. Many stu- dents make use of the outside courts for tennis, basketball, volleyball and also the baseball diamond and football field. For days of unpleasant weather the indoor recreation hall is in the girls' dormitory with ping-pong tables. ln the Winter the skating pond is in great demand. For quiet, restful relaxation we have a reading room and library filled with many interesting and profitable books. XVe are grateful to our school for these many opportunities to spend our leisure time in all situations. -JoHN NIETZLER '51 89 Tract Band This type of work is provided for those who are interested in sharing with others the joy they have found in the VVord of God. The tract band has started a new work this year, mailing 250 copies of The llfzy to residents of New York City. The names were copied from a New York telephone directory. The group also visited various homes for the aged, in the locality of Lancaster, and the Christs Childrenls Home of Paradise. The group spent several periods in discussing personal evangelism and each member was made responsible to speak to some person about his soul. -RI-IODA HARTZ l5l 90 Needlecraft Yve as a group of girls enjoy a period of fellowship while we crochet, tat, knit, embroider, and such like. VVe meet in the social room of the girls' dormitory with Sister Kauffman as our advisor. lve appreciate her help very much. Our group is divided into two sections, one meeting blonday and the other Friday. Some things that were made were yarn dolls, edgings on handkerchieves, sweaters, baby booties, doilies, and cushion tops. VVe find the period a profitable one and enjoy it very much. -CLixR.fx li. L,xND1s '52 91 Auto Driving The question is often asked, What can be done to lessen the accident rate on our highways? VVe as a class discussed what we could do to help lessen accidents. Brother Brubaker, our supervisor, explained the different parts of the automobile and told us what we could do to save the life of the car. He had us looking under the hood of his car to illustrate what he was referring to. For a little practice we also had the privilege of changing a tire. We are sure that we will know a little more than just how to drive an automobile, and will also be better stewards of our automobiles and better Christians on the highway. -MIRIAM LANDIS 'Sl Nature Study The 3 :OU period on Nlonday is one time when nature students, for- getting other studies, think and learn about nature. This study leads one to reflect on the insignificance of human life in comparison with the minute exactness of God's creation, for the human mind can neither originate a better planned solar system or suggest improvements for the construction of the human body. This period, under Sister VVenger's supervision is often spent in field hikes and learning to identify common trees and plants. lVe also, as a class project, constructed a star map to aid us in getting acquainted with our star friends. -DoRc.'xs Srorrzrvs '51 Oral Expression The purpose of Oral Expression Class is to help us to be better speakers in public and also to help us to improve our conversation with others. YVe spend some time talking about ways to improve our speech, such as posture, expression, and gestures. lve get practice in giving readings, speeches, and pantomimes. lVe are given many helpful sug- gestions and criticisms by our capable instructor, Brother Brubaker, and by the class. We appreciate this course and have profited by it. -MARY ELLEN GROFF '51 92 L LW? x-G. x , ,Q .. ,s:. ., :.,: ,. 2.
