We appreciated having you in this Christian institution for your high-school education. VVe send you forth with the conhdence that you are better equipped to meet life's opportunities and responsibilities. We are looking to you to go forth from school unto a life with a purpose. This purpose should Dear Class of 1952: The years in this school have seemed short to you. You will not soon forget the time you have been here because the years you spent here are important years of your life. They are the years in which many of your life habits and attitudes took definite form. The school may, or may not, have had a large part in the formation of those patterns in your life. But it is still true that these four years Filled that part of your life in which many of life's patterns are usually set. VVe have often prayed and shall continue to pray that the school's influence on your lives may have been a good one and that its good work in your lives will continue to manifest itself in many ways in 16 Jacob Paul Graybill East Earl, Pa. Principal, Bible Doctrine. lflfhat I want is, not to possess religion but to lziwe a religion tha! shall possess me. -KINGsLEY. be to live for the Lord in every area of.your life, to work loyally with the church, to seek to take your place humbly, allowing the Lord and the church to guide you. Do not live aimlessly, keep your goals and standards high, remember what you have been taught, look for opportu- nities for serving humanity, be ready for the l.ord's direction and call.

Some of you will soon accept jobs. Others will early be homemakers in their own right. Some will go on in school. The church will lay hands on a few in a dehnite way while she claims all of you even if there is no specific assignment. Some of you will have unusual experiences while others will live more ordi- narily. VVe look for every one of you to live worthy lives so that your home, your commu- nity, your school, and your church can at all times say with satisfaction of you that that is one of our men or women, he is doing a good work. Surely you will want to make your life the expression of your class motto and continue to follow -Christ all your lifetime. Clyde Buchen Stoner Lancaster, Route 4, Pa.

In a measure, you have made previous preparation for your lifework. You have studied lessons, cultivated talents, acquired skills, set up Christian ideals, and developed a standard of life's values. Through the influence of your Christian parents, your church, an-d your school, certain lasting im- pressions have been made upon your memory. Regardless of how far life's experiences may take you from the scenes of your childhood and youth, memories of your joys and sorrows, successes and failures, opportunities used and lost, deeds of kindness or thoughtlessness will re- main to comfort or rebuke you.

You have arrived. You have attained the goal and will receive a diploma to verify it. But where have you arrived? Where do you stand now? Really not at the end, but at the beginning, the commencement of a larger sphere of life and service. Your diplo- ma will really be a certificate of progress. It is but a milepost in your forward march with Christ your Lord. The great apostle who gladly gave up all things that he might win Christ, was still, near the end of his life, Ureaching forth unto those ences of the past have a sobering effect upon us to challenge us to live for others and to sur- render our lives completely to the will of God. Looking ahead to find your lifework' will be challenging. Do not become discouraged if cherished plans should crumble, nor impa- tient when the way is not clear. God moves in various ways to prepare us for the places where He would have us serve. I am confident that you will experience peace and happiness even amidst the noise and strife of a sinful world if your life is committed to the work which the Lord has for you to perform.

He then tells us whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing .... Be followers . . . QPhil. 3 113'-172. The real tragedy of life is not in failing to reach the top, but in failing to go forward. To turn back and lose the ground that has been gained is cause for grief. So whether the way be rough or pleasant, bright or gloomy, keep on! It is always better on ahead. The Master leads the way, follow Him, He will ,lead you to the triumph of success, for He is the One and only assurance against failure. 17 Harvey Witmer Bauman Lititz, Route 1, Pa General Science, Business 'lfrainingg Agriculture.

S WW wig X X N Class President's Message We, the class of 1952, are passing from the protection of a church school to be among the masses of humanity. Of these, the majority have rejected the Gospel of Christ and have become the allies of Satan. Under his leader- ship a most cold, cruel, and chaotic world of men has been formed. XVe have studied of the terrible sin and wickedness with which this world abounds. Now this must be faced in real- ity, ln facing it there shall be many opportuni- ties to witness and testify of the saving power of the Lord jesus Christ. Appreciation and thankfulness is in our hearts for the sincere Christian teachers who have faithfully prepared us for the future. Upon leavingathis institution we shall not discontinue being students. VV e shall still be learners under the supreme Master Teacher who goeth be- fore,', faithfully instructing and preparing us for each difficulty and opportunity that shall con- front us. This is a comforting and encouraging thought. This unsurpassed leadership plus the power Christ needed to have victory over the grave and arise to the right hand of the Father in glory is promised to .His disciples. Let us, therefore, make use of this potential and press onward to win the prize to which God, through His Son Jesus Christ, is calling us upward. ln our progress it becomes essential to take earnest heed to a passage given to us by the inspiration of our Lord. 'fKeep thy heart with all diligence 3 for out of it are the issues of life. -RICHARD L. XXVEAVER '52 25 . Martha jean Bair 27 N. State St., Brownstown, Pa. L.M.S.

He'll spread the monstrous Waves from every side And if His promises We fully claim and hold The mountains will miraculously divide. He's paved the shining path of service true, His feet have trod the fiery serpent down, By love He died our sinful souls to save, And leads us by His cross unto the crown. With Christ who's gone Welre going one and all, Striving ever in His will to be, Committing, trusting, looking toward that goal, For here is promised more than victory!

He also goes a few steps ahead and keeps us from harm and danger. If we follow Him, He will show us things that could not be revealed by any one else but Him alone. He is also higher and stronger than any squadron or government official, so we need never to fear anyone else but Him. Matthew 10 :ZS says, And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hellf' But if we follow Christ, He will pilot our vessel into port. -jesse IQNCK When I think of He Goeth Before, it gives me confidence, confidence in Christ, and confidence that I can make my Christian life a success. Christ went before and became a perfect example for us and it is now up to us to follow Him. We do not need to pave the way for ourselves and thus we can avoid the many mistakes which would inevitably come. If we follow Him as sincerely as He led the way, we will be blessed and will be a blessing to others. Following Him carefully and conscientiously will obtain for us a perfection which cannot be gotten any other way. -GALEN BENNER Christ is our pioneer. He goes before, preparing the way for us. Why fear as We weave ourselves through the tangled maze that repeatedly confronts us? Re- member, He has gone before and knows every minute detail of the way that lies ahead of us. As we go forward, let us endeavor to aid others in finding the way that He has prepared. --ANNA NIARY SMOKER 58 Christ has trodden the dust of this earth. He knows what is to be found in each footprint of the way. Hate, envy, selfishness, and a host of other joys of the devil are constantly near at hand. But consider this! Christ says, Be of good cheer, I have over- come the world. When trials walk your road of life, think on these consoling words. Comfort from Christ brings the peace equal to that of calm waters. -IRENE PEIFER The tendency of the masses is to follow a leader. With eyes blinded by the dense fog of sin, they can- not see beyond man. Since man himself is governed by purely selfish motives, he satisfies their craving but for a season. They do not see the true leader. As Christians, who have seen the true leader, have accepted Him, and are now following Him, it is our duty and only desire to show to the world Him who is their only hope. Christian, though surrounded by sin, wickedness, and temptation, do not despair. Look ahead and see Christ, for He Goeth Before. -HAROLD HERR I groped my way through the inky blackness. I stumbled, and then fell. I was in the blackness of de- spair. But soon I heard a voice, and looking up, I was blinded by a glorious light. And then I heard the voice say, Child, have you not seen my footprints? I have gone this Way before. I looked, and because of the shining light, I could plainly see the footprints of the Master. I arose and walked on, in His footsteps, and to my surprise, I found that He had not only gone before, but He was also at my side, His hand holding mine. -JANET GEHMAN Commencement exercises were over. The excitement and rush were dying down and he was alone, wonder- ing what God had planned for his life. In his early high-school days he had dedicated his life to Christ and had learned to go to Him with his problems. There were many Vacant places to be hlled by somebody, but which one was he to nll? A thought flashed through his mind: He Goeth Before. This was the answer to his problem. He would follow his Master who went before. -BARBARA ANN WHITE The future, still a veil before our eyes, lies ahead. Therefore we need a Guide to lead us through the un- known. Lest we fall over the steep places and sink beneath the load of despair, let us place our hand in His. He has already charted the path that we shall take and has called us to follow Him. Who is this faithful and loving friend? He is the Christ-the Man of Galilee, who has borne His cross to Calvary. Having been crucified with Him, we are ready for service. As sheep who obey their master's voice, so we know the voice of the Good Shepherd and are known of Him. -EMMA M. SHETLER Christ has a route marked on the map of life for each one of us. Our routes will lead into different areas of service. Some of us will be teachersg others, ministersg some nursesg a few foreign missionariesl and, a larger group, parents of Christian homes in America. Joy, grief, satisfaction, and disappointment will be encountered in each field. But no matter Where we are stationed on Christ's map, we can have the assurance that He understands each trial and blessing, because 'fHe Goeth Before. -BARBARA RUTT Christ goeth before. A wonderful thought it is to know that Christ, who is all truth, all love, and all sufficiency, is going the way which we shall take. He has not promised that the way o'er which we walk will be covered with a carpet of moss, nor will it be spring- ing with rosebuds on every hand, but, quite in con- trast, the road will -be rough, stony, and leading uphill all the way. Nevertheless, we shall be victorious, for Christ Goeth Before. -BARBARA KEENIZR We are here for a purpose, to make use of the ability and talents that God has given us. Our life thus far has been as that of a young tree in a forest, sheltered and protected, able to study, work, and develop these talents. We stand on the threshold of a world of oppor- tunities. Are we fearful of the obstacles which may loom before us? Do we fear to take the responsibility? Dear Classmates, we can be powerhouses for God. We do not have to open the trail. We have a guide who is treading the path ahead. Let us follow 1-lim who goeth before. -MAXINE MAST He is despised and rejected of men, a man of sor- rows, and acquainted with grief. From the viewpoint of the world and the natural man there is nothing at- tractive about that kind of life. Why follow Christ? The cost of following the Lord Jesus is great only until we experience life with Him. After that the blessings far outnumber the denials, and we wonder how we could ever have cherished such insignificant and valueless pleasures. The gracious leading of His Spirit, the inward beauty of the soul, the completely satisfying contentment, and the thrilling joy found in His service, have no substitutes. Of these, millions know nothing. They need our compassionate Shepherd to go before them in every experience. -GERALDINE BENNINGTON 59 lass Histor The class of 1952 had its origin in a group of students who spent September 14, l948, stand- ing in line waiting to register as freshmen. Assisted by the kind upperclassmen, we finish- ed the rounds, bought our books, and called it a day. Our class of eighty-five, which shattered all previous records, needed to take possession of the auditorium for a homeroom. The boys demonstrated their pull by dragging off all op- ponents, including the seniors, in the annual tug of war. The get-acquainted social assisted us in recovering from the freshman daze. ln one chapel period, Brother Keener chal- lenged us with three emphases on the question, VVhat doest thou here? VV hat doest thou here? VV hat doest thou here? We experienced our Hrst revival messages at school when Brother I. lrvin Lehman con- ducted two weeks of meetings. Positions as sidewalk superintendents could be had for the taking as construction of the new girls' dormitory began. Brother Raymond Charles was the evangelist for the spring revival meetings. Forty-Hve members of our present senior class registered as sophomores on the thirteenth day of September, 1949. The task of learning to know the student body was much less diffi- cult since we had one year behind us. The microscopes in biology laboratory open- ed the door to a new world: a world inhabited by rotifera, paramecia, and vorticella. Do you still remember the order and spelling of the nine animal phyla? I am sure we will long remember the many pleasant QPD hours spent making our wild Hower collections. The new dormitory was the pride of the girls living there. Back again and rea-dy for work, we enrolled as juniors on September l2, 1950. VVe practic- ed planning and executing class business by dividing our noon roll call periods among sev- 60 eral activities, engaging in junior projects, and filling 'Christmas baskets. Suggestions were compiled for a class motto. The messages of Brother Ray Shenk and Brother David Thomas, our fall and spring evangelists, brought us closer to God in fuller consecration. The physics class spent a day at Franklin Institute, Philadelphia, and the American his- tory class visited a number of Lancaster County historical spots which some of us had neglected -because of this proximity, I suppose. Speeches became a frequent occurrence in English class, and some of our time was spent reading Ivanhoe. Alma Shenk entertained the class with a par- ty at her home 'during vacation. Most of the juniors of last year and a number of new classmates were on hand to register as seniors on September ll, 1951. Our new mem- bers came all the way from Delaware, Michigan, Allensville, and Lancaster to make our class of seventy, the largest ever to graduate from L.M.S. lVe had found this year to be the shortest and busiest of them all, but with the leadership of Richard VVeaver, our president, and the guid- ance of Brother Good, our sponsor, our class activities have moved ahead on schedule. On October 22, Brother Donald Lauver be- gan the fall revival series, and Brother J. lrvin Lehman again served as evangelist for two weeks beginning january 28. At the present time we can only anticipate our trips to Harris- burg and Washington. This brief history gives only a glimpse into our storehouse of memories. But we as young people do not live in the past, we look to the future. He Goeth Before-and our goal is to follow Him all the way. -james BRUBAKER Class Prophecy .lfather Time very graciously granted my re- quest for a look behind the heavy curtain of mist called Future.

It is an opportunity to refresh the soul, and, as Averback says, Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday lifef, Romain Rolland's statement, Music is more than a pleasure-it is a necessityf, we find to be very true, if we are to live a well-rounded life. Wie have enjoyed very much our chorus rehearsals under the capable super- vision of Brother Stoner. We used the new Churclz Hymnal part of the time, learning some new hymns, and also, how to sing the old ones better. Our hearts were drawn heavenward as we sang a number of selections from Gaul's Holy City. Qui' aim in Senior Chorus is to learn to sing well so that we can bring honor and glory to God and be a blessing to humanity. -li.XRB,XR.X RIJTT ,SZ unior Chorus Music means a lot to one's soul. God speaks to us through messages in music, it We will but hear. Music speaks straight to our hearts, is a teacher educating the heart to love God, home, our country, nature, and draws us clear to our Creator. There are seventy-tive members in junior Chorus. lYe appreciate llrother Stonerls faithful efforts in teaching us to get the best from this wonderful art- music. The more of God there is in us the loftier and more pure our singing will be. May the hymns we learn to sing at L.M.S, put wings to the Gospel far and wide over the earth. 1CURNlil,l,X Domi '54 Em wx 24? ami Q15 M52 fi?

Often we are favored with a message from a guest speaker. lt is very challenging to us to apply these messages to our lives. In these days of evil it is very necessary to live and walk close to God. This is possible only by feeding on God's Word and asking Him for help. As we travel through life may we live more consistent lives and give clearer testimonies to the world. It is our duty to do this for our Lord since He did so very much for us. -GERALD CASSEL '53 Chapel Each morning, as all the students and teachers gather in the auditorium for chapel, our hearts and minds are drawn heavenward. Here, in the quietness and stillness of the early day, we commune with God. Our voices blend together in singing praises to our heavenly Father who is ever watchful and mindful of us unworthy creatures. As we meditate on His VVord, He gives us new strength and courage, which prepares us for the tasks of each new day. ' -HELEN HFIST.fXND '53 Student Religious Program Every day at l-.M.S. the entire student body assembles in the auditorium to begin the day with God. VVe begin by singing a song led by one of the faculty men, after which Brother Graybill, Brother Good, or Brother Amos NVeaver usually has charge of our devotion, with Scripture reading and prayer. Some- times we are privileged to have a guest speaker take charge of this period. On Tuesday morning the period is lengthened considerably and the students are given the privilege to give a religious program. Many blessings are received from these topics that are discussed by fellow students. XVe always look forward to and enjoy these programs very much. We feel that we could not do without our morning devotional period because it is the very best way to begin the day. -VERNON KENNEL '52 Chorister raining Since an important part of our worship is singing, we need to be able to sing. :Xnd to have better singing, good choristers or song leaders are needed. S0 it was in this class that nine juniors and one sophomore niet weekly with Brother Stoner to becoine acquainted with song leader techniques. It was decided by the class to study round notes. Thus books were purchased for this cause. lfirst we studied and reviewed the basic rudinients of music. The main emphasis was placed on setting, accepting, and practicing Christian standards for leadership. As a class we can say we have enjoyed this class greatly. -OMAR EBV '53 Shop If you have heard a lot of hammering and sawing in the basement of the classroom building, it was extracurricular shop class. Shop meets once a week on Friday in the 12:30 period. Shop has been a very practical course for all who have taken it. Some of the things we made were corner shelves, bookcases, book ends, desks, lamps, and end tables. Some boys made history projects. These projects were very interesting. We wish to thank Brother John Wh VVeaver for his kind help and guidance in our woodwork. -:XLLEN XVEAVER '52 Bird Stud Qur beautiful campus, with its natural bird habitat, has made possible an interesting study of nature. This year, for the first time, a bird club was organized by llrother Jacobs, which meets regularly for one period each Xllednesday morn- ing. At this time hikes are taken, both on the campus and on neighboring larnis that have bird attractions, such as ponds and swamps. Wie take occasional Saturday trips to points which can't easily bc reached from school in a single period. Uur tools are the Peterson Bird Guide and binocu- lars. The club was organized to better learn the names, ways, and manners of our local birds and thereby realize the wonderfully wrought designs and love of our personal God. -Romain MILI-ER '54 N eedleeraft Every Tuesday afternoon, a small group of girls meets for needlecraft. At first, we met in the lounge in the girls' dormitory, but we are now meeting in the cozy bedroom of Sister Kauffman, who is our very efficient instructor. Some of the tools which we use to make our products are needles, crochet hooks, i'Easy-Duz-lt' crochet frames, yarn, thread, and, of course, our hands. There have been many beautiful articles made, some of which will be put in hope chests, and others which are being used now by being worn. I believe we all appreciate much more the things which we have made our- selves rather than if we would have bought them. -ESTHER E. LEAMAN '53 Nampus mprovement The Campus Improvement group consists of about fifteen boys under the supervision of Brother Kraybill. VVe meet once a week at the three o'clock period. Our instructor assigns individual or group projects which are to be worked on in that period. These projects consist of such things as cutting logs, raking leaves, and filling the skating pond with water. If you notice that the broken fence has been repaired, the driveway swept, or the stones cleaned from the gutter in front of lirother Goodls house, you will know that the campus improvement group has been on the job. -MA11LoN GOCHNAUIER '54 ral Expression Good public speaking is a useful art! ln Oral Expression class we learn the fundamentals of good speech. Class time is not entirely spent on giving speeches. VVe give readings and introductions, enact pantomimes, make announcements, ancl recite poems. Faults in facial and voice expressions, posture, and gestures are brought to our attention and suggestions given to improve them. We thank and appreciate Brother Brubaker, our instructor, for the help he has given us. XVC feel this years work has been both enjoyable and prohtable. -GALEN BIQNNIQR '52 oon Prayer Circle Following our fall revival meetings this year, our noon prayer circle, which was held every day during the meetings, was continued each XVednesday thereafter. llrother Amos VVeaver, our student pastor, usually conducted these services. lfach time, the procedure was varied. Sometimes we meditated upon a portion of Scrip- ture: other times testimonies or favorite memory verses were given. Brother VVeaver sometimes read about great men of God, or talked about a certain spiritual subject. We usually sang a song or two, and spent considerable time in prayer. fxlany have learned to know and love their Lord better through this fellowship. -EDNA DENLINGIER ,SZ ooks These six people, who, three times daily, revive our weary bodies and study- laden minds with tasty, nutritious food, are an indispensable part of the school. Their small sphere becomes very popular around seven and eleven-thirty in the morning, and hve-hfteen in the afternoon, for, at these times, many pleasant odors are wafted through the air. XVho isn't glad when XVednesday evening comes around, pie nightn? No dessert on the table? That probably means ice cream! No, theres no need to wish for Klotherls home-cooked food when meals are served by lflettie and E-dna Klusser, Mabel Kreider, Ada lluckwalter, -lean Kraybill, Dina Veendorp, or Anna Landis, this year's part-time and full-time cooks. Caretakers lnstead of one permanent caretaker, LMS. has many helping hands this year. Ralph Weaver is a general worker to keep things in running order, but, in addition to him, a number of students participate in raking the grounds, shoveling snow from the walks, Working in the woods, and numerous other tasks to improve the upkeep of the campus. Special Students There are three students on the campus this year who have added variety, although we don't call them special : they are just part of the family. Two of these arc deaf-mute girls, Catherine Clymer an d Pauline XVeaver, Several private classes, in- cluding liible, are arranged for them, and they also attend some of the reg- ular classes. Usually, on Tuesday morning, Mrs. lfsther Grod inter- prets the chapel and day student prayer circle message for them, which they greatly appreciate. Another special is Dina Yeen- dorp, from Holland, who came to the school through the llilennonite Central Committee. In addition to working in the kitchen and dining hall, Dina takes Latin I, and adds a foreign touch to Problems of De- mocracy class. In Appreciation How kind God is in opening the way for me to attend a school whose influences attract me to Christ! I am thankful that I can enjoy the revival meetings and prayer circles. I have surely appreciated the wonderful Christian fellowship with l-,Kl.S. students, and my kind teachers have taught me many things about Jesus Christ. I want to thank all for their kindness to 1116.--C.X'I'llFRlNE J. CLYMER To know Christ better, to grow in llim, and to prepare my life.for His service. are reasons why I thank God for bring- ing me to l..Nl.S. as a special student. l thank Him for the marvelous wav He opened for me to attend a Christian school when I accepted Jesus as my Saviour, after facing the serious problem of attending a non-Christian school. From my heart l say, Nay God bless LKLS. and use the school for His glory and honorfl flI,AI'LTNlC VVEQWER To Everybody Praise ye the Lord. O give thanks un- to the Lord: . . . for his mercy endureth for ever.--Psalm l06Zl. Praise ye the Lord. This is what I esa pecially want to bring to you. I cannot be thankful enough that the Lord sent me to L.M.S. He is also the One who sent you wonderful friends in my life. VVhen I have to go back home I know I will remember my experiences at LJTS. I thank every one of you for your love shown to me. T want you to pray for me that as I go back home I may be a faithful servant of my Lord in telling others about Him. -TJINA XIEFNDORP 4 UPPER RIGHT First Row-Instructors-LeRoy Stoltzfus, I.

Six Weeks of Bible Stud By the blessing of our Lord, after a lapse of eight years, we enjoyed again Z1 Special Bible Term at Lancaster Mennonite School. ,January l4 we registered, and then gathered around the XVord of God, conscious of the Holy Spirits ministry to us. Wie will long reineniher how the I.ord spoke to us in class, revival, and in our prayer groups. Our visits to lVelsh Mountain Mission, llans Herr House. liphrata Cloisters, and Landisville Christian School, with the contacts they brought us with interested hrethren in the church, challenged us with the knowledge of what the past generations have done for the l.ord, and what we should do now. Most of us have a new sense of spiritual mission to which we have consecrated ourselves for His glory. W'e say a hearty thank you to the Lancaster Conference School Board and all our friends for making this term the blessing that we found it to be. -I.
