Swmyffxiy E 5 X N10 5 IQ QM Aden Gingerich, President: Hclcn Longcncckcr, Secretary: Mary Zook, Treasurcrg Milton Lehman, Vice- President Senior Class residents Message As we look back on our past lives, it seems as though only yesterday we were yet small children and our parents made most of our decisions. Through- out childhood someone made our decisions or else greatly influenced each one we made. For instance, our teachers and ministers have greatly influenced our lives. Our brothers and sisters also played a large role in influencing our decisions. Close friends have contributed to the kind of decisions we made. But now many of us have reached the age where we are more'or less on our own. We must now by ourselves make our own choices in the light of the past and also of the future by the help of the Spirit. Cod expects this of us and it is our responsibility to develop the ability to make our own choices. A person hasift really learned to live if he hasn't learned to make right choices and decisions by the aid of the Spirit. Now we, the class of '54, have come to another place of decision in life. We realize that probably decisions that we make now are chiefly what our lives will hinge upon. But in the tenseness of making our choices we rest in complete confidence that, all things work together for good to them that love Cod, to them who are the called according to his purposef, We look into the misty future with great anticipation of what it may contain for us. We ask you as our friends to pray fervently as we scatter to every direction from L.M.S. We go forth in the name of jesus Christ in service for Him as He leads us ever onward.

E ' 'N - '-' , ffl fx ff -f 5 I W 9 Lead On, O Shepherd True As we travel through life we need a Shepherd, just as sheep need a shepherd. During our past years we were more or less guided by our parents, friends, and teachers. Now as we leave school We are more on our own, and we will need somebody to guide us through the harder trials of life. The Christianis path is rough and dangerous, yet it is a path that the Christian enjoys following. Because our path is rough and dangerous we need a shepherd to lead us through. As Christians we can invite Christ, our Shepherd, along on our life's journey. Therefore as a class We say together, Lead On, O Shepherd Truef, HAROLD C. STOLTZFUS Yesterdayis wind-swept terrace leads to todayis clean untrod threshold. VVe have only crossed the adjoining line of a remembrance of the past and a hope of the future, in the unveiling today. But the way has been eventful, a chal- lenge presents itself to spur us on to a succeeding challenge. This present chal- lenge means the acceptance of a guide and our willingness to follow Him. It is acceptance even to the place where we encourage leading, while we follow. Faithfulness, loyalty, and constancy meet the requirements of our guide. So with ready feet, an eager spirit, and obedient minds we plead, Lead On O Shepherd Truef' GRACE BEACHY a I was about to begin my journey. I hesitated a moment. Should I attempt it? The realization of the difficulty and great danger made an indelible impres- sion upon my mind. But then, I bowed my heart in humble submission to God and prayed, Lead On, O Shepherd Truef, The path which I traveled was so very steep and extremely narrow and winding. The distant scenes lay unveiled before my eyes. My Shepherd led me on one step at a time. At times I seemed to be advancing greatly, at other times sharp rocks, briers, and brambles tended to hinder my progress, but in such instances I found the balm of my Shepherd so soothing and healing. Alas! I stumbled and fell. In an instant, my Shepherd was at my side. He held forth His nail-marked hand. Clasping it and rising I cried, Oh, lead me on.', He spokethose reassuring words, I will lead you onward, follow mef, My journey was coming to a climax. The path was hardly visible any more. But the glories of heaven became visible to me-beautiful music, angels in dazzling white robes, the saints of Cod. But most wonderful of all, I saw my Shepherd face to face. IVIARY ELLEN EBY Life is before us. None of us know what it will bring forth. As we leave school and go out into life, We are faced with the problem, What place does the Lord have for me to fill? At first this may overwhelm us, but let us not forget Christ is always with us and He will lead us. just as the shepherd leads his flock to cool water and green pastures, Christ as our Shepherd will lead us to the place where He would have us serve Him. Sometimes we will not under- stand His leading and may Want to turn to our own way, but we are follow- ing the true Shepherd and He knows what is best. May we continually pray, Lead On, O Shepherd Truef, RHODA CROFF Oh, dear jesus, canit I serve you faithfully here in America? These nature kindred need me, Father. Others can convey Thy revealing love to those people in Africa. Look at the heathen right next door, they need Thy salvation also! I am not able to go from my family, God. I was in utmost defeat. I was un- happy. Christ whispered to me, Go, go to those countries that have never heard of me. They are seeking salvation. Co tell them I love themf, I felt I could not submit. Oh, the perils, the trials, my helplessness! Why should I go? There were many others who would gladly take my place. Then quietly, flashing through my mind, Lead On, O Shepherd Truef, Was I willing to keep the promise I pledged to God? In a contrite heart I humbly knelt in His presence. Forgive, O Father. I am willing to gof, My heart was filled with peace. Once more the light shone brightly upon my path. My Shepherd, Christ, is leading. MARY YODER lass Prophecy The day had assumed the characteristics of early fall.

BUTH KOLB and ARLENE MELLINGER lass Histor FRESHMAN YEAR Let us allow our thoughts to wander back to the days when We as a group of 70 timid freshmen entered the halls of L.M.S. to begin our high-school career. There were so many buildings and strange faces, we wondered if we would ever feel at home. We lost some of our fears when we had the get-acquainted social. It surely did become a problem to us some- times to try to find what X equaled in Algebra I, and do you remember those equations we tried to remember for those tests? The girls felt very fortunate to be able to have a course in Home Economics offered as an elective. Do you remember the biscuits which turned out to have a bitter taste be- cause baking soda was used instead of bak- ing powder? We learned the value of good music when Brother Don Jacobs required us to memorize the words of many of the hymns in the Church Hymnalf' We received challenging messages from our evangelist, Brother Ray Shenk, as he con- ducted the revivals in the fall, and in the spring we again had heart-stirring revivals by Brother David Thomas. On May 2, Brother Paul Erb gave a talk in chapel. I'm sure we all remember those readings he gave in dining hall, also. May 9 was a day we looked forward to for so long. It was the day of the freshman out- ing. The day has come for us to say good-by to the school as freshmen, but we all hope to be back next school year as sophomores. SOPHOMOBE YEAR My, those three months surely passed by rapidly, but I'm glad they did because now we can again see many of our friends whom we have not seen for so long a time. This year we shall learn how to focus our microscopes and through them see strange sights. Do you remember the worms and stariish we dissected, also the day We passed a snake around in biology class? You had better not ask many girls how they liked it because they were too scared to touch it. We were urged to be good salesmen on the day of the Mill Stream social. A faculty-all- star ball game followed the social. Qn November 12, Brother Iosef Hersch- kowitz told us about The Iewish Christmas? The Tale of Two Cities proved to be a very interesting novel which we studied in litera- ture. Our evangelists this year were Brother Don- ald Lauver and Brother J. Irvin Lehman. This year at Open House we were showing our friends around the different rooms when all of a sudden I wonder what happened to the lights. The old-fashioned tallow candles and our flashlights helped us to find our way around for about half an hour until our electric lights were fixed. Brother Daniel Glick spoke to us on the subject, The Trend in Crime, on April 24. On April 28, our class was saddened by the drowning of one of our class members, Alvin Yost. Our sophomore school days came to a close on May 30. IUNIOR YEAR This year we are back again as jolly juniors, but we found that the junior boys are also strong because they won the tug of war which we had with our Mill Stream social. Do you think our fingers will ever hit the right keys? This is one of the expressions that were heard after Typing I class. On September 17, a father and son from Indonesia gave a talk in chapel. We found the projects in American history to be very interesting. Many students made models of machinery of olden days, also dram- atized some scenes. On October 2, Sister Yost gave us a talk on her recent trip to Europe. The boys who took the course in agriculture went on a field trip on November 19. A very interesting talk was given on Safety', by Sgt. Reese, a Pennsylvania State Policeman. We are very fortunate to have foreigners give the student body talks this year. We had the privilege of listening to a man from java. If you wondered what those junior girls were doing on the bridge, you found that it was gym class. They made use of the beauti- ful snow by building a snowman on the mid- dle of the bridge. On December 11, Russell Baer talked to us on Home Missionsf' If you heard Christmas carols coming from the auditorium on December 19, you found that the Junior and Senior choruses were giv- ing a Christmas program. This year as a class project for Christmas we gave gifts to the children at Millersville Childrenis Home. On january 29, you could have seen two chartered buses taking the class on an Ameri- can History trip. We visited the Ephrata Cloisters, Landis Valley Museum, and Buch- anan's Home in Lancaster. Our inspiring evangelistic services this year were given by Brother Clarence Lutz and Brother 1. Irvin Lehman. The secret was finally told to the seniors. We were going to have a junior-Senior outing on May 12. We all had a very enjoyable time. SENIOR YEAR Now the most important year of our school life thus far has begun when we are known as seniors. Our class numbers 80. We are the largest class yet to become seniors in the history of L.M.S. We again found our boys to be the strongest, for they again won the pull in the tug of war. In English class Shakespeareis play, Mac- beth, proved to be very interesting even though it did look rather hard at Hrst. On November 25, our Thanksgiving social was held. Did you wonder what the small groups of seniors were looking at? They just received their proofs from Peel's Studio. The true meaning of Christmas was brought to our minds more vividly by the recording of Dicken's Christmas Carol. Our evangelist, Brother Roy Ceigley, brought us inspiring evangelistic messages. Our Laurel Wreath editor, Maynard Kurtz, with the other seniors found the editing of the Laurel Wreath to be time-consuming but interesting. We were thankful for the old-fashioned winter this year. It afforded us pleasure in skating on the Mill Stream, with the exception of a few who went through the ice and found the water to be real cold underneath. We were eagerly looking forward to our trips to Harrisburg and Washington. We thank the Lord for His guidance through our high-school days. As we leave the halls of L.M.S. may our prayers always be Lead On, O Shepherd True. M2553 - .... ifinl , N 3 f J! Mr w is 1 E . E Q . Q? E w Q 4 f , ' 4 L X .I ,,. 1 Lwm 1 r ,.f' l:'?.1H,2iZM .

VVe are confident that the men and women of Cod on our faculty have enriched your lives with living truth which will help you to live true. But the main source of life is Christ our Lord. We feel that unless in your school life here you have grown spiritually and hecome more deeply rooted in Him, more thoroughly committed to Him and His will for you, with a deeper sense of loyalty to, and love for the brotherhood, we have failed in our most important work, VVe believe the years ahead will reveal that there has been a work of Cod in your lives.

You must not fail, a lot depends on you. We have dealt with you in confidence. You have responded well. You have made mistakes, we did not always give you all the opportunity to prove yourselves that you should have had. Greater works than these shall ye dof' This may well apply in your lives.

Dear Seniors: Some people wish that life would be easier. Others pretend there are no difficulties.

Dear Seniors: While everyone is speaking well of your achievements, praising your merits and applauding your successes, may you remember that in the sight of God the way up is down. The way to become great in Him is to remain small in this world. This is, of course, contrary to the accepted wisdom of the world, but if you would Win Christ, crucifixion is a must.

M 5, M, 5z.,5 Special Bible Term Director's Message Three young people were sitting as visitors in a Special Bible Term class on doctrine at Lancaster Mennonite School. After the class was dismissed, they fol- lowed the teacher and said, 6'You promised to answer more questions in class to- morrow but we canit be here tomorrow and we would like to know. Donit you have some time to answer our questions now? We have found this desire to have the answer in many of our young people. The multitude of voices our young people hear in the world have them con- fused. Many of these voices are the voices of strangers in whom they rightly do not propose to place unlimited confidence. But there are many questions that need to be answered. Special Bible Term is designed to answer the most ques- tions possible in the shortest time possible for the most people possible. Six weeks of study is a short study unit but it has proved to be practical for those who cannot take nine-month courses. If a six weeks, term can be repeated a number of years it really becomes worth while. Then also it is quite sound ed- ucationally to mix knowledge obtained in school with that gained by practical experience. We trust that the students who were with us this year will be able to say with former students that it was helpful for them to have been here. Testimonies Study to shew thyself approved unto God. Attending Short Bible Term at L. M. S. helps one to obey the above commandment. It surely was a joy for me to learn more of Godis Word as I attended three terms here, I want to be used wherever the Lord wants me. I also appreciated the Christian fellowship. I want to urge the young people to attend this Bible School. ERMA HERSHEY As the natural man longs for food, so the spiritual man longs for God. To satisfy this longing we need to feed continually on the WVord of God. Being a babe in Christ I found it hard to grasp the truths and real meaning as I read from God's Word. Hearing of the six weeks' Bible Term at L.M.S. seemed to be an answer to prayer, as to how I might get some schooling in Bible. I have appreciated this opportunity greatly and feel it has been a means of helping me to grow. ICANN IIOLSONBACK I have again appreciated the opportunity of attending Special Bible Term. To me it has been a challenge to study God's Word more earnestly and sincerely. Every child of God should feel the importance of familiarizing himself with God's Word. I shall never regret the time spent during these short six weeks.

Because life seemed to be glamorous-Hlled with joys and new adventures, meeting face to face with wisdom often grew tiring. But his father, acquainted with life, its joys and sorrows, encouragingly bade him remain for further instruction to more adequately meet an important future. As the father guided his son through the hallway they saw many examples of humanity and each had a message for him. Although he did not realize it, gradually his char- acter was molded into a suitable tool for God. But all too quickly they approached the end of the sheltered hall. At the immediate end was a door, and over the door was written, Enter, Yours for Service. The father beckoned the boy to open the door and pass through. He eagerly opened the door. Vast opportunities for service lay before him. Quietly his father whispered, Commence I. DANIEL Hass 64 TOP: Frou! rmv, left to riglitghlary 'lane Peachev, Dorcas Reed, Betty Strong, Eileen Miller.

I am sure that I speak the mind of our class when I say that next year we will feel a loneliness for your presence. We have appreciated your willingness to be friendly to us underclassmen. It means something when a senior says Hello or stops to have a friendly chat. We have felt your Christian influence both in the dormitory and on the campus. You have given us a good example and with God's help we shall follow it.

As you leave us and go out into the world may you have adventure, achievement, joy, and triumph in the strength and fellowship of our wonderful Saviour. As you remain by His side you will have His name upon your lips, His image before your eyes. His words in your heart.

They are preparing for life's greatest Workg namely, Personal Evangelism. As a basis for discussion We are using Brother Milo Kauffmanis book, Personal YV01'k. Brother Kniss is our capable instructor. Since he is closely connected with this work he can give us much help and many practical illustrations. We discuss such important questions as how to lead a soul to Christ, meeting erroneous views, and meeting excuses of the unsaved. Pray that out of this class may go twenty-four consecrated young people sharing the Light of Life. EUGENE HORST 73 1 4 1 Wm hurch Histor In this class we learned about Conrad Crebel, Menno Simons, and other Anabaptist forefathers. It made us more appreciative of the church when we learned how it began and the life and sufferings of those who have gone on before. The iirst semester We studied Christian churches in general. We began at Acts 2 Where the Holy Spirit was poured out on the believers on the day of Pentecost. From the Apostolic Church We went to the church that was united Withk the state. During the Reformation the Anabaptist reformers began their wor . In the second semester We studied Mennonite history and doctrine. VVe can not appreciate enough the earnestness and faithfulness of our church fathers who brought the church from apostasy and corruption. We wish to thank Brother I. Irvin Lehman, our instructor, who taught us about the growth of our beloved church and the necessity of keeping it pure. MLRIABI EBY '74 Bible Geography Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamedf, As we meet twice a week, we realize more and more how important it is to be able to follow the Bible characters as they travel from place to place. With the instruction of Brother Kniss, for which we are very grateful, we not only learn the geography, but also the Bible stories are refreshed in our minds again. Although several of our class were there, not all of us had the privilege of touring the Holy Land and seeing all of it with our own eyesg so we decided to take this course and learn about it. We have made several maps. We made one of the Israelites' journey from Egypt to the Promised Land on which we placed the main stopping places and wrote beside them the events that happened there. This helped us a lot in remembering the locations and the events. FAITH M. LANDIS 75 Senior Chorus Oh, what joy, what happiness, how We are thrilled when our voices blend in praise to our Maker! Music in song and in words is the expression of our immortal souls through mortal voices. When our spirits come in tune and blend in sweet harmony with our Maker, we are drawn close to each other and we all commune with God. Every Tuesday afternoon our youthful voices are heard singing joyful strains. Brother Stoner faithfully leads us as we endeavor to learn new songs and praises.

Singing is a way to express our deep thoughts. We appreciate that we are privileged to have as our teacher Brother Stoner, who is capable in leading and teaching us to sing. Our prayer and aim is that we Will use our training in singing for the spread- ing of His VVord. IRAY GEICLEY 77 fi H 7 ..A. -..xv Public Speaking Each Tuesday and Friday at 9:50 A.M., the Public Speaking class met in the student pastor's room. We students took charge of the class according to the rules of parliamentary procedure. In class we learned not only to give speeches, perfor mpantomimes, give sales talks, present symposiums, recite poems, stories, and readings, but we also learned to keep correct posture, use suitable gestures, and show good facial and voice expressions. Brother Brubaker frankly told us our mistakes and pointed out our peculiar mannerisms, so that we know where to improve. Good public speaking, we've found, helps one to feel at ease in a group and to associate with others through better conversation.

M ,X B ,F 1-w The Board of Directors There are many persons giving time and support to the work of the school. Some of these persons are not known very well. They do not stand before the stu- dents in classes, or make any announcements to the home rooms. But their work is very important. The Board of Directors meet once a month to consider the work of the school and to make plans. They supply the school with buildings and equipment. They employ teachers. Many of the standards which the school aims to uphold and promote are considered first by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is responsible to the church for the operation of the school. The board members solicit funds from the membership of the church, and plan for their best use in making the school,s program educationally and spiritually effective. The men on the Board of Directors give without financial remuneration of their time for labor, planning, school visiting, and prayer. The Lord will surely reward their earnest efforts as He has clone in the past. 87 wm Nw mmm--was 5 V 3 , . -mv EXE - I I W. 1 ,- gigmg'-mm U W -5-M Q W i--v N- , im. .
