Also Dean Hinds has continued graduate work in Kansas State College in the summer of 1940 and in the School of Religion, Butler University, in the summers of 1941-45. Dean Hinds is head of the Department of History at the Bible College. He has been teaching for us since 1936, and we are looking forward to many more years of his fine work in training ministers of the Gospel. Cleatus Hinds, wife of Dean Virgil V. Hinds, received her A.B. from Phillips University in 1936. Mrs. Hinds is head of the Department of New Testament Greek. She too came to us in 1936, and we hope that she will continue long in the work she is now doing. James B.

Ray Thompson (picture does not appear) is the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Man- hattan Bible College and a Professor of Economics and Sociology at Kansas State College. He teaches one hour a day at the Bible College, heading the department of Social Science. With Pres. T. H. Johnson, heading this fine faculty, we the students have full confidence that M. B. C. will continue to grow, not only in numbers but in the service she can render to the advancing of the Kingdom of God here on earth. We are not so dogmatic as to say that we have the best faculty that can be had, but we do say that we are persuaded that they can stand shoulder to shoulder with the best in the nation. We say God bless our faculty, to whom we owe so much. May they truly receive satisfaction and blessings by knowing that they are playing a great role in the work of Christ Church.

Page 17 JUNIOR CLASS CONTINUED Dorothy Stanke is a Nebraska girl, coming to M. B. C. in 1943. When she gets out of school she plans to enter the field of evangelism. Dorothy is quiet, an accordionist, and is 21. Virgil Feerer, a romantic red head, came to M. B. C. in Sept., 1943. Virgil is a Kansas boy coming from Horton. He is now serving the church in Osage City, Kansas. Virgil is 20, and def- initely out of the bachelor club. Brady Fowler is also a red head, but he comes from Lamar, Colo. He came to M. B. C. in Sept. 1945. He attended Johnson Bible College for two years. When Brady gets out of college he plans to enter the Foreign Mission Field. He is now serving the church at Homewood, Kansas. Clifford Hauxwell is one of the big men of the Junior Class. He is a Nebraska boy. He came to M. B. C. in the fall of 1942, having preached for four years before this time. He was in M. B. C. a semester, then in the Army a half year, then back in M. B. C. the fall of '43. He is 29 and married. He plans to enter full time evangelistic work when he completes his education. He is now preaching at Downs, Kansas. Warren Hockman hails from Edgar, Nebraska. Warren entered school in the fall of '42. He is 23 and married.

Bob is now serv- ing the church at Barnes, Kansas. As for future plans, he is yet undecided. Perhaps the fact that he is blond, blue-eyed, and 20 makes him that way. Howard Stevens is another of our “big” boys. He comes from Jewell, Kansas. He entered M. B. C. in 43. Howard, 24, is an ex-serviceman. When he completes his training he plans to go into pastoral work or into the field of Religious Education. Floyd Strater is quiet, sort of bashful, and 21. He hails from Joplin, Mo.

SOPHOMORES Hi Gang! Here we are, standing on the second step of our college career. We think that we possess more dignity and poise than we did a year ago, and although we are not listed in Who's Who as yet, the future is ahead. It's a great life that we live here at M. B. C. Remember the long hours that we spent in col- lecting toys before Christmas? And then, the party that we had, in order to paint them. Oh! was it fun! At first, we thought everything was going to be red, but then the “man of the hour —Prof. Hinds—-came with all of the colors that we needed. We'll never forget Mrs. Hinds trying to make a bonnet big enough to cover the crack in a doll’s head. And boy did we eat—sandwiches and cocoa. The toys went to the needy children in our Churches. Well, such is Sophomore life. Our leaders: KENT NEWMAN, president: CHARLES COOK, vice-president; WILMA THOMAS, secretary-treasurer; JUNE FITZER, reporter; LARRY BARNES, student council representative; and Mr. and Mrs. HINDS, our super-duper co-sponsors, carry their share of responsibilities as we view the future, and see our ambitions becoming realities as days become brighter.

FRESHMEN Did you see a smiling boy or girl in the hall this morning? That, fellow students, is a fresh- man. Some say we smile because we haven't been here long enough to take Greek or Logic, be that as it may, we like M. B. C. very much and are most happy to be here as freshmen. The majority of the class comes from Kansas and Nebraska, two students from Missouri, one from Oklahoma, one from Colorado, and one all th� way from Michigan. Our occupations cover а number of fields. There are sailors, soldiers, farmers, farmerettes, school teachers, and stenogra- phers. Most of the boys are studying to be ministers. Some of the girls are going to be missionaries, some are studying to be Religious Education Directors, and of course some will be ministers’ wives. Where there is freshmen there will always be hobbies. We collect model doss, bottles, table napkins, white elephants, necklaces. perfume and keep scrapbooks and poems, along with a number of other things. Our class officers are: President, Charles Gresham: vice-president, Virginia Schwarz; secretary- treasurer, Coloriss Stevens; student council representative, Charles Gresham; and sponsor, Prof. Lloyd Taylor. We are proud to be freshmen in Manhattan Bible College. Page 20 Special Students Back Row—M. Strater, M. Wanner, L. Fowler, D. Donovan, О. Niles. Middle Row—D. Carr, D. DeBord, B. Vaughn, Prof. W. Е.

SPECIAL STUDENTS As busy as a hive of bees may be a worn out expression, but it is still suitable to use in describing that energetic group known as Special Students. Although they did not fall into any of the regular classifications of the student body (for various reasons) their spirits were undampened, and when the regular classes were organizing they banded themselves together and formed an or- ganization. Capable officers elected to serve the group consist of a Class Sponsor, Prof. W. F. Lown; President, Douglas Donavan; Vice President, Elizabeth Frakes; Secretary-Treasurer, Carol Clark; and Representative to the Student Council, Lewis Fowler. The rest of the student body first realized the presence of this group when they instigated a move- ment to equip the recreation room and prepare it for use. A second project was a special bulletin board to announce chapel and church services in the college building. Other projects are as yet in the incubation period, but when they are “hatched”, the entire school will undoubtedly reap the benefits as they have in the past. Several members of this class shall receive diplomas this year. Elizabeth Frakes will be granted a Certificate of Religious Education. Wayne Schreiber, Bill Vaughn, Douglas Donavan, and Don De- Bord have completed High School requirements and will be presented with diplomas. Page 21 High School Seniors T US me 5 Le DON DEBORD “BILL” VAUGHN Experience has proven the wisdom of a high school in connection with a college like Manhattan Bible College. The principal reason is that some af the best prospects for the ministry decide to preach after the normal age to attend high school has been passed. The greater number of such stu- dents would never get a college education, if they had to take their high school work through the regular channels. Therefore, that they may have a college education, we maintain a Preparatory Department. To enter the Preparatory Department a student must have completed the equivalent of an eighth grade education. 'The students who take preparatory work will be permitted to carry a minimum amount of college work at the same time. The college is glad to give young men and young women this opportunity, to continue their education, and to prepare them for fuller service for Christ and His Church. Each year sever] graduate from this Department and enter into the Bible College. We congrat- ulate these young men upon their completion of this work and are looking forward with them to the time when they shall be graduated from M. B. C.

SUNDOULAI The ladies at Manhattan Bible College met at the home of Marguerite Bass, September 27, 1935, for the organizations of a study and social club. The Greek word, Sundoulai, meaning fellow-servants or one who serves the same master with another, was selected as the name of the club. The rose was selected for the club flower. Red and white were selected for the colors. 'The members include the girls who are students of the college and preachers‘ wives. As one of the purposes of Sundoulai was for study, many interesting speakers have taken part in the meetings. Some of these have included ministers' wives, missionaries and others who have lectured concerning Christian living and service. On several other occasions the club has been entertained with religious book reviews and readings. Sundoulai has sought to promote a closer fellowship among the girls of M. B. C. by working and serving together through this organization. 'The members participate in many activities of school life, such as M. B. C. day, chapel, programs and Christmas parties. Some of the outstanding projects during the years have been: providing baskets for needy families, contributing to school building fund, contributing to missionaries, and visiting shut-ins. This year the main projects are raising money for a piano for the reception room of the girl's dormitory and rais- ing money for Pat Johnson, graduate of Manhattan Bible College and missionary to India.

It is the men's organization of the school. E. T. A. is a relatively new society, but it has been grow- ing rapidly, both in numbers and in activities. It was organized January 12, 1940. The purpose of the society is to improve and enhance the lives of its members both intellectually and spiritually by discussion, debate, and lecture. Practical help and information in the ministerial field is emphasized. This, together with the fellowship obtained in the organization, makes E. T. A. a distinct asset to M. B. C. men students. Among the many and varied activities of E. T. A. has come to be the annual M. B. C. Day. 'This is a day in the spring of the year when young people from the churches come to M. B. C. as guests of E. T. A. and are acquainted with the school. This has come to be a great event each year. Another thing which E. T. A. sponsors is the MABICO . This is an annual, featuring the senior class and presenting the atmosphere of M. B. C. in graphic form. Page 25 Student Volunteers President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer К. L.

The Student Volunteers was organized at Manhattan Bible College, in the fall semester of 1944- 1945, under the leadership of the President of the organization, O. D. (Pat) Johnson, who is now on his way to the mission field of India. The aim and purpose of this organization is to promote interest in and the study of Christian missions by programs and projects. Membership in Student Volunteers is open to all who are recruits for missionary service and to all who are simply interested in missions. Meetings of this group are held every third Tuesday evening of each month. The Student Volunteers have been rendering a service for Christ and His Church, here in this community. Every Friday evening, several car loads of Student Volunteers go several miles southwest of town to present a soul-inspiring service to the folk in the I. O. O. F. home. The Student Volunteers who are in Manhattan on Sundays, present a service to the folk in Park View Hospital every other Sunday. The people truly enjoy these services and several have expressed their desire for the group to continue to come and bring the message of Christ in song and in word. Once during the school year, the Student Volunteers have a Missionary banquet. This year, we had a sacrificial banquet and our speake r was Laverne Morse. In the fall semester of 1944-1945, the Student Volunteers put on a religious drama. The public was invited and the response was good and the plans are to have one religious drama a year by the Student Volunteers.

It came into existence in September, 1945, under the leadership of Prof. W. F. Lown. Rehearsals are held three times a week and attendance is required, unless the absentee has an adequate reason acceptable to the director. To be eligible to participate in concerts given by this group. each member must maintain at least a C average in all classes in which she is enrolled. The Glee Club has had part in the presentation of several concerts, some of which have been in collab- oration with the men's chorus. The purpose of these concerts is to enrich spiritually the lives of both the students and those to whom they minister in song. Music has been styled the “Youngest, but the greatest of the Arts . However, experience teaches that it is rather the oldest and grandest of all Arts. As the Art which exercises a stronger influence over humanity than any other, it dates its origin from the dawn of Creation. The “Good Tidings” of the Prince of Peace were heralded to the world through the song of the heavenly host. It is the prayer and desire of each member of this organization, by the development of talent, to share in the spreading of the Gospel of Christ through the ever beautiful and effective avenue of music.

Lown, Head of the Music Department. Its purpose was two-fold. First to take the gospel message in song to those who could be reached. And, second, to recruit a ministry by the witness these young men bear to others. At first, the chorus was small. But as the demand for its appearance grew and it became more apparent that these men could perform a wonderful ministry in song, the chorus increased both in size and in the service rendered. The Men's Chorus is one of the most active groups in the music department. It has traveled many miles over the states of Kansas and Nebraska carrying the message of Christ in song to the many churches and other groups who have desired its message.e There have been a great num- ber of times when the Chorus was called to sing, but because of the lack of time for school work the trips were impossible. However, its popularity is gradually spreading over this part of the country. Every member of the Chorus is consecrated to the Christian life and all are performing a Chris- tian ministry by using their ability to preach the message in this way. All the men in the Chorus are eager to carry this message and they are striving to be of more service to Jesus in this manner. Page 31 Mixed Chorus F Back Row—-A. Ball, C. Hauxwell, W. Schrieber, R.

MIXED CHORUS The Mixed Chorus of Manhattan Bible College is now in its third year of activity. It was organ- ized in the fall of 1943 as an extra curricular organization, but with the opening of the school year in 1945 it was converted into a laboratory course and was included in the curriculum. One hour of prac- tice each week nets the student one-third of a semester hour credit. This is also the first year membership has widened to include Kansas State College students whose schedules make it impossible for them to take part in Kansas State College musical activities. Although this organization has been in existence only a short time, it has made a name for itself. Upon request it has given several concerts in and about Manhattan. The first concert having been presented three years ago at Milford, Kansas. The Chorus is fortunate in having within its membership several students possessing instrumental talent. Grouped chorus numbers are interspersed with instrumental numbers to make a varied program. This organization makes a valuable contribution to our school’s ministry for Christ through music.

Larry Barnes, one of the students who has had a great deal of experience as a band leader, conducts the orchestra. After the fall enrollment of this year it was found that a number of the students played instru- ments and had had some experience in orchestra. Then it was that Mr. Barnes was given the green light to go ahead and organize an orchestra. In the beginning, there was the problem of music which was solved temporarily by the generosity of some good friends. But, as the orchestra improved the need became even greater. At the present the orchestra is planning a concert in combination with the College Choir. There are great possibilities for a very good M. B. C. orchestra when a sufficient library of music can be obtained and the instrumentation can be augmented.

The students are thankful for just a room as this where they can relax, visit, and have fun together. Great days are ahead as the school continues to grow. The game room is a new item at M. B. C. this year. We are indebted to the special students for sponsoring such an activity. Many happy moments are spent here in the basement—yes, even when we should be studying.

T. H. JOHNSON DEAN VIRGIL V. HINDS Page 36 ACTIVITIES Manhattan Bible College Day “God has a life plan for every human life in the eternal counsels of His will. When He arranged the destiny of every star and every sand-grain and every grass blade and each of those tiny insects which live but for an hour, the Creator had a thought for you and me. It was a thought of what we were to be, of what we might become, of what He would have us to do with our days and years of influence with our lives. —Henry Drummond. It was out of a conviction such as this that the first MANHATTAN BIBLE COLLEGE DAY evolved. The spring of 1943 found a comparatively small group gathered in the Bible College Chapel for the “Test launching under the sponsorship of the E. T. A. men's fraternity. It was the convic- tion of both faculty and student body that God had a purpose for man, and that it was ours to unite men with that purpose. This could be done, in part, through acquainting youth and adults with the college and its constituency. 1944 was a promising example of what the day could become, as representatives came from a number of Churches, to join in the occasion. The following year the pro- portions had grown such that Churches were necessarily limited in the number of delegates they could send. This greatest of all days in the school program had by this time, almost become an institution in itself. Remember the many long hours we spent in preparation? We'll never forget the great times we have had. So fine has been the spiritual uplift for all who have attended; the spirit of consecration that has so permeated the services, whether in worship or in play; and the leadership of the young men of the school, in planning the activities of and selecting the speakers for the day, that it is little wonder that Manhattan Bible College Day has become what it has as it enters the fourth consecutive year. We looked forward during the war years to the time when all restrictions could be removed and Manhattan Bible College Day could have an opportunity to prove its true worth. On May 2, 1946, young people and Christian leaders of the territory which Manhattan Bible College serves, joined with us in the greatest Manhattan Bible College Day in history. We rejoice that each year this occasion has gained in strength and usefulness to us all. Our theme this year was “Contend Earnestly for the Faith.” As the years come and go we look forward with certainty, that Manhattan Bible College Day has won itself a place in the hearts of the students and faculty of our school and into the lives of all peoples who have had contact with her. Page 38 Sun Springs Christian Service Camp The Sun Spring Christian Service Camp, which is now several years old continues to grow, as it renders service to the Kingdom of God. At the close of Camp last year the faculty chose the following for camp officials for the year of 1946. Manager, Bro. Robert Beck of West Side church in Topeka. Curriculum manager, Bro. John Newton of Marysville. Sec. and Treas., Bro. Clarence Stanke of Garnett. It was also de- cided to appoint a continuation committee. The following were appointed to this committee: Bro. R. K. Rowe of Barnes, Bro. James Lackey of Vining, and Bro. D. C. Branham of Greenleaf. The purpose of the S.S.C.S.C. is to train and inspire young men and women in the work of Christ. It faithfully plants the true seed of the Kingdom of God in the hearts of the young people who attend it. It constantly encourages life dedications to the work of the Lord Jesus Christ. And it also seeks to point lost souls to the Christ of Calvary. The Camp has high standards and is satisfied with nothing less than com- plete loyalty to Christ. The Lord has richly blessed the efforts of the camp. At the present time there are four young people attending Manhattan Bible College as the result of the Camp. Last year the camp experienced many mountain top experiences, and the spirit of Christ was felt in every session. I am sure that the deepest experiences were those when we witnessed the young men and women yielding their hearts to Christ. It was our great privilege to see eleven converted and seventeen for life dedications. These were great victories for Christ. We feel that this is only an example of what shall continue to be, under God's leadership. S Wa-Shun-Ga Camp Wa-Shun-Ga was started in 1939, with Vernon Newland organizing the camp and Neal Lovell as the camp manager. The camp is located 15 miles southwest of Junction City, Kansas, 1% miles off highway 77. The camp ground is in a grove of tall trees nestling against the west side of a small but beautiful valley. A high cliff borders the camp ground on the west with a small stream meandering along the base of the cliff. Isolated from the rest of the world, it is an ideal place for a Christian Service Camp. There are large, comfortable cabins, cool, shaded places for outdoor classes, out- door recreational facilities, including a boating pond, two swimming pools, a softball diamond, a shuffleboard court, etc. The facilities, the attendance, and the courses have grwon considerably since the founding of the camp. This year the camp runs for two weeks with an intermediate camp, a high school and an adult camp, and a course running consecutively with the others whereby an hour of college credit is given to high school graduates taking the course. The value of Camp Wa-Shun-Ga may be appreciated most by looking at the results. Many have been won to Christ and many have gone into full time Christian service as a result of attending Camp Wa-Shun-Ga. With God's help this work will continue for many more profitable years. Page 39 All-School Banquet The Spring Banquet began in 1931 for the purpose of a get-together for the stu- dents and faculty. It continued as such for some time, but as the College continued to grow, this came to be the all-school banquet sponsored by the Juniors in honor of the Seniors. It is held in Kohler Hall at the Christian Church some time during the month of May. The ladies of the Church prepare and serve the dinner for which we are deeply grateful. This is a gala occasion and being semi-formal, the day is full of excitement—talk- ing about formals, corsages, and naturally dates. As we arrive at Kohler Hall snap- shots are taken, then we proceed downstairs where an exchange of greetings take place. Finally we are permitted to enter the banquet room. It is beautiful! Every- one finds his respective place and a quietness fills the room, for we wish to thank our Lord for these blessings. Throughout the dinner there is singing, special numbers, and last but not least each Senior is permitted to give a short impromptu talk. We feel this is part of the school life and, not only does it add to the school spirit, but is one way of honoring the Seniors. I Missionary Banquet The Student Volunteers Organization is responsible for a banquet the beginnnig of the second semester. The first one was held in 1945. Dr. Rothermel was the speaker. This year the banquet was held February 19, 1946 at Kohler Hall. Since it was not for the purpose of advancing missionary work it was sacrificial. The room was impressive in its simplicity—the tables had been set and the light of the candles fell upon the open Word of God. Our speaker was to have been La- Verne Morse, youngest son of Russell Morse, missionary to the Salween Valley. Due to unforeseen circumstances he was unable to be with us until the next evening, but we were lifted spiritually by the singing and prayers, and short articles were read about three of the Colleges’ own boys who have gone out as ??

First Christian Church, Manhattan, Kansas “A Friendly Church Home for Students” The Church and the College The church and the college are mutually dependent. Without the church the college could not be born. Without the college the church cannot live. The college must depend upon the church for support—the church must depend upon the college for leadership. The Manhattan church has been a friend and supporter of the Bible college throughout all its history. It stands ever ready to be of service. We share in the pride of past achievements and in the hopes for growth and usefulness in the future.
