John D, Zimmerman, Topeka, Kansas, is the very efficient Genera] Secretary of the Kansas Christian Missionary Society, He has showed a keen interest in the development of Manhat- tan Bible College.

Sackett, Beatrice, Nebraska, is an at- torney at law. Mr. Sackett has served on the Board for five or six years and keenly inter- ested in anything that is for the well-being of M, B. C. D. C. DeLair, Oketo, Kansas, is a farmer. He was chosen to serve on the Board because of his interest in the college and in the pro- gram of the church in general. ©. Ray Burgess, Wichita, Kansas, is the efficient pastor of the West Side Christian Church. Mr. Burgess was employed as college evangelist of M. B. C. for fifteen months. He has served on the Board for about twelve years. He always has a good word for M. B. C. Roy W. Browning, Ottawa, Kansas, is a teacher in Ottawa University. He became a member of the Board of Trustees of M. B. C. while Principal of the Junior High School in Manhsttan. He also is alert on behalf of the growth and well-besng of the college. C. S. Wilson, a retired banker and business- man, Turner, Kansas, has served continuously on the board for fifteen or sixteeen years. His concern as to the direction the college may go has ever been watchful. He has been so deeply interested in M. B, C. that he and his wife made a Student Loan gift of $2,500.00 to the college. Rex A. Harmon, pastor of the Christian Church, Norton, Kansas, has been 2 member of the Board for seventeen oy eighteen years. Mr. Harmon is not only the first student to enroll in M, B. C, and a graduate from the same, but he is always eager for a greater and more useful M. B. C. Virgil Marshall, Wymore, Nebraska, is a businessman. He was elected to the Board five or six years ago and l.as showed a very keen interest in the well-being of the school. Howard H. Taylor, White Cloud, Kansas, is a banker and a farmer. He was elected to the Board one year ago. Already, Mr. Taylor has demonstrated the making of a very active mem- ber of the Board of Trustees. Newell M. Hall, pastor of the Central Christ- jan Church, Kansas City, Missouri, is a grad- uate of M. B. C. He, too, was elected to the Board in May, 1947. The last and youngest member of the Board is Robert M. Myers, M.D., Kansas City, Mis- souri. Dr. Myers was chosen to fill out the term left vacant by tiie decease of C. Ray Thompson. The Board at large is called together once a year at commencement time for an annual meeting. In the meantime the Executive Board is in legal charge of the college. President Johnson is a member, ex officio, with whom the Executive Board works very closely during the year. Manhattan Bible College is proud” of the fine Christian personnel who have served across the years as Directors of the college. To C. Ray Thompson was a Christian gentleman of the first order. He was an elder in the First Christian Church in Manhattan, Kansas, who was always faithful to his responsibilities. His life and good works were an inspiration to all who knew him. He passed to h!s reward from his earthly labors May 23, 1947. He was elected to the Board of Trustees of the Manhattan Bible College in 1936, and served faithfully until the time of his home-going. He was chairman of the Board from 1938 until the time of his death. He served well and faith- fully in this capacity. He was always willing to render any service that he could in this office. During the period of recovery and the remodel- ing of Manhattan Bible College administration building, Brother Thompson labored tirelessly. President Johnson could always depend on him as a wise counselor. ey Pee Srpre7r OZ PE During World War IT he became a part-time instructor in the Bible College. His field of teaching in Kansas State College was economics. ‘The State College permitted him to come to the Bible College and teach a course in economics which made it possible for the Bible College students to get their work under the instruction of a state school teacher without enrolling in the state college. The remembrance of Brother Thompson is loved by all connected with the Manhattan Bible College, as well as a host of other friends and acquaintances. His widow and son and daughter continue to reside in Manhattan, The Bible College will place an enlarged picture of him somewhere in the administration building. “Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth: yea. saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; for their works fol- low with them.

Kansas. by Eugene Bible University of Eugene. Oregon. For two years this college remained a child of Eugene. In 1929, all pro- perty belonging to the Bible College founded by Eugene in Manhattan in 1927, was deeded by the Eugene Bible University, to a r2w cor- poration. known as Christian Workers’ Univer- sity. Manhattan Bible College came into being on June 20, 1930, when Christian Workers Uni- versity déeded all of its holdings to Manhattan Bible College, which was chartered on that date, and which institution has functioned trom that date to the present. 1937 was a sad year for the school, when due to depression and drouth, the Bible College was forced to give up the property which was deeded to Manhattan Bible College in 1930. The school was not one to give up in despair, but in 1940 started a building fund which reached a total of $17,000 by September 1, 1943. Negotiations were started for the purchase of the above mentioned building. An agreement was reached which enabled the Bible College to buy this building at a cost of $26,500. Immediately the Bible College began a campaign to raise an additional $9,500. This building was purchased on a two year's contract. However, the finan- cial response was so excellent that only four and one-half months were necessary to obtain the money to receive the deed to the property. ‘Five years ago the Bible College purchased the frame building in which schoo] was held during the period when it did not have possession of the above mentioned building. The school is well located both from the standpoint of convenience and that of cultural and educational opportunities. Both the Union Pacific and the Rock Island Railroads pass through the city as well as U.S. Highways 40 and 24, The school is within reach of five hundred congregations to which we may look for support, and which adjacency makes an excellent outlet for the services of young men and young women who are ready to go out from the school over the week-end to preach. Per- haps no other college among “us” is so strate- gically located. Just across the street from Manhattan Bible College stretches the campus of the Kansas State College of Agriculture and Applied Science. This offers a wonderful op- portunity to students of both schools for a well- rounded, Christian education. The purpose of Manhattan Bible College is to train preachers and other Christian workers who will be loyal to the Christ, and to his Church, as presented in the Scriptures. Manhattan Bible College seeks to be Christian in the fullest meaning of the term. The College believes that the final and only authoritative statement of the Christian Religion is in the New Testament. Christian conduct is expected of all students in the College. Any student found unable to conduct himself as a Christian in the College, community, or elsewhere will be dismissed from the College. Just be a Christian gentleman or lady and you will be acceptable to the institu- tion. Mt. 7:12 is an excellent guide. It some- times becomes necessary to apply some practical applications to the general rule of conduct. All students are required to attend Sunday Church service. During the twenty-one years of the history of the Bible College one hundred thirty-seven people have been graduated from her halls. Many of this number are preachers, others preacher's wives, some missionaries, and several are outstanding Christian leaders, We are assured that this is merely the intro- duction to the history of a great institution, which has as its aim, to train young men and young women for loyal consecrated service for COM who is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, OFFICE FORCE FACULTY LIBRARY OFFICE FORCE a | 2 PRES.

B.C. is justly proud of her library fa- cilities. The 8,000 or more volumes on selected religious and related subjects offer a constant challenge to the student. The library room has been well furnished by some of the churches and loyal Christians .There are always helpful librarians in charge of the checking desk. Mrs. Kenneth Storer is the head librarian; she has been with the school six years in that capacity. She has been assisted this year by Jean Hahl. beck, Mrs. Fred Paxton, and Mrs. Lloyd Taylor.

MUSICAL MINISTERS (Picture on opposite page) The male quartet began its musical ministry in the fall of 1945. Since then, its popularity and service have grown swiftly. The lower half of the quartet, Don Albright, bass, and Charles Cook, baritone are graduating this year. New recruits are already being trained to fill their Places in this musical service group. Among the places these four have served this year in Kansas are: Burr Oak, Abilene, Barnes, Stockton, and, of course, Manhattan; and also went to Wymore, Nebraska. They are Perenerry, to serve Christ wherever they are called. GOSPEL AIRES (Picture on opposite page) It all began in 1945 when they gathered in the dormitory lounge room and sang while they were waiting for meals. The four who thus sang soon formed a quartet which they called the Gospel Aires. They have appeared in many Places including the Youth for Christ rally in Wichita. Those who sing in this quartet are Phyllis Moomaw, soprano; Vada Ruth Ward, alto; A. J. Ives, tenor; and Charles Gresham, bass. Dorothy Stanke was their pianist for two years and Jean Scott is the present one. This year they have made personal appearances in Ozawkie, Greenleaf, Winchester, Downs, Wilsey, at the I. O. O. F. Home and the M. B. C. sacrificial banquet, =e MUSICAL MINISTERS CHAPEL CHOIR The M. B. C. Choir enjoyed much fellowship and service during the year of ‘47-'48. On their calendar of events, each Wednesday nights’ Chapel Choir became a habit with many special messages in song being sung forth at different times. November 18, the choir journeyed to Clifton to bring a concert of the gospel in song to the Christian folk there. At Christmas time the services of the choir were asked in aiding in the broadcasting of Christ- mas carols over the business district of Man- hattan from the Community building. January 15, at a dinner meeting of the Co-Op Club of Manhattan the choir had another opportunity CHAPEL CHOIR GOSPEL AIRES to sing the message of God. For the chapel service March 17, the choir sang the message of the Christ in the cantata “The Risen r. April 1, at Glen Elder, and April 22, ut Barnes, great fellowship was portrayed as the choir sang the promises of God in concert of song. Music for M. B. C. Day and Commence- ment Services was furnished by the choir. Many different numbers, such as solos, instrumental numbers, trio numbers, chalk pictures, and male quartet numbers. filled out the programs tor the concerts. Morine Barnes and David Cone served as accompanists for the choir. Professor Wilford Lown is the director. The Choir looks forward to another successful year in the ministry of music. —9= CROSSROADS OF INSPIRATION. Each year the Bible College is privileged to entertain note- worthy guests. This year Dr. Robert G. Martin of Phillips University, Enid, Oklahoma, de- livered a series of lectures upon the topic, The Old Testament Prophets Speak to Our Day. He was very well received the week he spent with us. Mr. Will Sessions, minister of the Inde- pendence Boulevard Christian Church. Kansas City, Missouri, spent a week with the school instructing a class in personal and visitation evangelism. His work provided the inspiration for an intensive program of evangelism to be carried on the rest of the school year. Mr. Carl Zehrung of Alaskan Missions spent a very cold day last winter with us telling of his work on one of America's frontiers. Edwin Becker stopped by one morning this spring to discuss tural church problems with preaching stu- dents. Miss Fleming, retired missionary from India, spoke at the Student Volunteer banquet concerning her life’s work among the outcasts. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Randolph, missionary re- cruits to China, were here telling us of their preparations and plans for work in China. Add to this imposing list other missionaries and friends who drop in from time to time and you will see that we are truly on the crossroads of inspiration. A PICNIC—something to help relieve the pain pug constant strain of studies—needed every week. This typical scene of a recep- tion in the lounge room after a wedding recalls pleasant days and happy memories and arous- es curiosity I wonder who's going to be next? INTERSEMINARY CONFERENCE—This year for the first time, Manhattan Bible College students participated in the interseminary movement. Last fall, November 6 and 7, twenty- five students journeyed to Phillips University in Enid, Oklahoma, where Dr. Henry Smith Leiper, Associate General Secretary of the World Council of Churches, was the chief speaker for the occasion. Our group furnished a worship program for this regional meeting In this meeting, our group divided to attend several of the seminars which provided a va- riety of interest dealing with church order and the problems which confront church leaders in bringing about a forceful ecumenical church. This spring, April 8 and 9, six of our students attended a district interseminary convention held in the Iliff School of Theology in Denver, Colorado, where Dr. C. O. Smith, president of Oklahoma University, was the chief speaker. The interseminary movement is a program promoted by those groups of Christian leaders {Continued on Page 11) TERSEMINARY CONFERENCE (Continued trom Page 10) who are interested in providing for the world a united church. These leaders are men from nearly all of the non-Roman Catholic Christian communions. Giving support to the movement are the World Council of Churches and the National Student Council of the Y. M. C. A These groups have done a great amount of work to achieve unity. When we consider the number of denominations throughout the land we know that this is a great problem. We understand how a divided church hinders the cause of Christianity. In the interseminary con- ferences, we discuss situations that are a part of the procedures carried out in great world wide meetings such as was held by the World in 1937, and the one to be held during August Missionary Council in Edinburgh, Scotland 1948 in Amsterdam, for the World Council of Churches. When great men of God get Tesults are sometimes heart-rending together, the These men have convictions and they have come to ele- believe in certain doctrines as essential ments of faith. These to them mean the ference between life and death. It is not easy to sit in a conference with men of convictions and have them regard lightly something that means much to you.

He closed his comments by say- ing that a wise man builds his house upon a rock while a fool builds upon the sands. In the study of geology, we find that both sand and rock contain the same elements. The materials are the same but the structures differ. Material in the rock holds solidly to- gether; the particles of sand have no cohesion.

During the day's services two young couples and Doris Buckles of Manhattan and Lucille Porter, Paola, dedicated their lives to “full-time” Chris- tian service, The couples, Warren Raricks of Concordia, and Drexel Forells of Hebron, Ne- braska, are both now enrolled in Manhattan Bible College..

There the wind mixed a littie Kansas dust with the baked beans, and wrapped everyone together in fellowship and fun. Estherbelle Robbins led some group sing- ing while the meal was being prepared. A baseball game with the Kansas State Col- lege B-team was held in the City Park. In spite of the MBC team's noble rooters, the simple words, “they won expresses the outcome ade- quately. Also, some softball games were waged among the group so that everyone might en- joy the afternoon. With sunset came a cool, calm evening, with a banquet in the Methodist Church basement. at which the MBC Musical Ministers male quartet supplied special music, and there was more group singing. Certificates for Basketball let- ters were presented to members of the squad Back at the chapel in Joliff Hall, Fred Sieg- mund brought another fine message.

The basketball team had a season's record of 5 won, 10 lost. Handicapped by lack of practice and amateur coaching, the team was a czedit to the school in every way. The squad loses five seniors, but has a trained nucleus for the development of a fine team next year. At this writing, the baseball season is just begin- ning, so no records are available. In addition to game scores for the basketball season given be- low, mention should be made of our team's top scorer, Lester Myers, who totaled 122 points for the 15 games.

With only a small family of twen- ty-five. the number of hungry people who ap- pear at the tingling of the dinner bell has in- creased to about fifty. Since the early beginning many improvements have been made such as a new refrigerator, steam table, stove, and a full-time cook, who has helped make things run more smoothly and efficiently. Mrs. Thielman began her work in the dorm in the fall of ‘46. This relieved the girls of the responsibility of planning and cook- ing the meals, which they did the previous year under the supervision of the housemother, and has helped to give the dorm a more homelike atmosphere at meal time as well as a more bal- anced diet. Each girl in the dorm is given a chance to work one hour a day. Some work more while others prefer to work elsewhere. They are paid for this time and in turn use it to pay for their meals. There is always plenty of work to be KITCHEN AND DINING ROOM STAFF Betty Karas, Elva Parks, Marie Wineinger, Mrs. Eva Thielman, Dorcas, Dorothy Benson, Jean Scott, Guyla Briggs, Chris Willis, Lois Randall, Evelyn Parks, Marian Bates.

The meals are served cafeteria style so that the food may be equally distributed This year, one of the features of the dining room has been Meatless Tuesday when baked beans and cornbread have appeared on the table. Several times, however, the menu has been changed and on Meatless Tuesday some- thing else was served. The newest addition has been “Tillie’s Cof- fee Shop.” Coffee and doughnuts are served from 9 a. m. until 10:30 a.m. It has proven to be quite popular as quite a stream of students can be seen coming from the school to the dorm between classes for a short snack to carry them through until meal time again.

Only that One who hears and knows realizes how much. Many of the brethren in the churches give greatly of their material blessings to the school and far be it from them to do this without ask- ing our Heavenly Father to bless the work of the College with even more than earthly gains. Prayers for individual strength and wisdom are offered to God often about this school. Prayer serves to give men courage, faith, and humility in their endeavors. There is a Prayer Room at Manhattan Bible College where stud- ents and faculty alike may draw apart from other cares and troubles to seek their God in secret. More good is wrought from prayer than this world dreams of. Jesus said, “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” Might we turn this about and say that if a man keeps his heart close to God in prayer his treas- ure will also be with this eternal Father. Again Jesus said, “Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” He also told us to ask believing—yes, believing that what is best for us will be done. Always one must try to put himself in accord with God's will. James wrote in his epistle, “If the Lord wills, we shall live and we shall do this or that. It is perhaps hard for one to realize that some things are the will of God, and also, it may be true that many are not. God never willed that man should sin, yet man in his own power, given him by God, went against the will of God to sin. Prayer serves to bring man back to his Heavenly Father and to be on the path toward eternal life. Each morning from Tuesday through Friday at 9:45 the students and faculty pause from their work and studies for a period af medita- tion and devotions to God. This is very help- ful to them and serves to give them zeal and strength to press on through the remainder of the day. During these periods the organ is softly played as passages are read from the Word of God. Then sometimes special words in song bring their message to those present. == The climax comes when the entire group silently speaks to God about the problems of the hour. At the close, a man or woman leads all in prayer to the Father. If people over the world could only realize the joy and comfort gained by meditation with God, this earthly home would be transformed. It is our hope and prayer that when these students leave “dear ole M.B.C. that they will have formed the habit of seeking the Heavenly Father by pausing from their daily tasks to talk with Him in a few moments of silent meditation. This is what every busi- nessman. laborer, farmer, and preacher ought to do. True, there would be no organ music or solos, but it is not difficult for one to speak to God and express his feelings often through the day. No doubt, many people do this already. We are told to pray without ceasing, and is not that the very way for one to keep close to his God? Just before the closing of school for the pre- Easter evangelism, a group of the students gathered to have a period of prayer and com- munion with God. This was opened by the singing of choruses; then a portion was read from God's word. A student next told the Easter story of some 1,900 years ago. The meeting was closed with sentence prayers for the coming season. Surely God answered these prayers as over 200 souls were added in various evangelis- tic meeting where students and faculty work- ed during the week before Easter Sunday. Another part of the devotional life about M.B.C. may be seen every Wednesday evening at 7:30 when the chapel opens and the organ is once more heard as students, their families, and friends; faculty, their families; and many other Christian people enter for the mid-week worship service. Usually the chapel is nearly full, to receive the stirring, Gospel messages. Yes, the word is preached to M.B.C. students, and they in tum preach to many people through- out this great land. It should be realized that all is not preaching—that much of M.B.C. life is spent in meditation, prayer, communion with God, and fellowship with fellow Christians. All of these make life more beautiful and worth living. Remember the Psalmist said, “Give ear to my words, Lord, consider my meditation. Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God; for unto thee do I pray.” Brown, Marion A Smith, Mrs. S$. Mi 4. Bt Ind dinnap 1930 Harmon, Rex A. A.

B.C, ave the same for all of us, the products turned out are Vastly different. Possibly, if we knew the whol2 story of the environmental influences on the lives of our graduates, we would understand what makes them what they are. However, we must content ourselves with a few known facts and comments on the life of each. It is interesting to note how people from such varying walks of life can become tools of God. Though the “tools” are different, the MasterMechanic knows how to use each tool to best ad- Vantage, and who can say that one kind of tool is more important than another? DON ALBRIGHT, although you can't tell it from the Jooks of him—with his love for bright clothes— was once farm boy. He grew up on a farm near Stockton, Kan - sas. He was bap- tized at the age of ten. By the time he Was graduated from high school Don had concluded that Christianity had all ie answers to the problems of life. With the conviction that Christianity was something to be lived—not just talked about, and wanting to convince others of the fact he decided to enter the ministry, He attended Phillips University a yea r before coming to Manhattan Bible College. Don has made a valuable contribution to the school by “taking care of the low notes for the male quartet. Among his other achievements, he married Carol Clark April 9, 1948. He is to receive his A.B. degree this spring and plans to go back to Phillips this fall for graduate work. Someday Don hopes to enter the field of musical evangel- ism. When asked if there was anything he especially appreciated about the curriculum at M.B.C., Don replied, with a twinkle in his green eyes, “Sure—Mondays off! DOROTHY BE SON, the girl with the big brown eyes and the sparkling teeth, was origin- ally a Texan, born January 2, 1926, in Abilene, Texas. She came up into the States—to Nebras- ka—when she was 16 years old, was graduated from Bayard High School, and then went to Dakota Bible Col- 7 lege for a couple of years before coming here Her present status: single—plans indefinite. She would like to be a missionary. She may go home and work for a while in her mother's restaurant, the Rainbow Inn, at Scottsbluff, Nebraska. (Her phone number in Scottsbluff is 1131). She “is survived at M.B.C. by her sister, Mary, who went to Dakota Bible College with her and also accompanied her here, but who has a few more hours of work before she, too, will receive an A. B. If you see a rather “heavy-set trumpet player who greets you with a hearty hand- shake, asks you how you are and looks at you in such a way that you feel he really wants to know, it's probably LAWRENCE (LARRY) BARNES. And if you hear him say, “Hold the phone! —you'll know it is. Larry, the son of a chief clerk in a coa) mine, was born in Prince ton, Indiana, October 8, 1913. His education includes high school, two years of business col- lege, and one and a half semesters’ study in the Evansville Liberal Arts College. Before he be- came a Christian he was a traveling musician in show business. On one of these tours he met Morine Aken, a musician in a traveling drama- tic show. They were married February 28, 1939, and “honeymooned all over the country.” Through her influence and that of John Scant- land, Larry became a Christian. It didn't take him long to decide to enter full-time Christian service. (Five months of the interval between his conversion and enrolling at M. B. C. was Spent in the Army).

CHARLES COOK also came to M.B.C. in the fall of ‘44 and hails from—you guessed it—Illinois, where his father is a coa) miner and his mother a school teacher. Before coming here he attended Southern Illinois Normal University one summer. Cook's marital status is, he puts it, “megative; but he is “not agin’ marriage’—in fact he thinks it is a fine thing. Although his color blindness kept him out of the Army Air Corps, it did not prevent his entering what from all indi- cations will be a “colorful career in the ministry. Here at M.B.C. Charles has particularly liked the intimacy among students and in- 2 structors—the “all one family feeling, which is something larger schools do not have. After he receives his A.

His more distant plans; He hopes to be in evangelistic work for a few years and then find a church some- where and serve the best he can ROBERT DUNN, who is always outstandingly well-groomed, completed his work for an A.B mid-term.

Al- though he found it necessary to work his way through school by manual labor before he be- gan preaching, he managed somehow to find time for courting and marrying a_beautifu blonde early in his college life. IONE SEVIER DUNN is to receive a Certificate of Christian Education this spring. Before she enrolled at M.

Largely because he has so many years ahead of him Brady has been in no hurry to get married that he will think it over and probably “take the al step” Here's one ior Bob Ripley. Believe it or not, DANIEL JOHNSON Says that the thing he has appreciated most about M.B.C. is Greek, his favorite coursc. Other than that he appears to be quite normal and well- liked in spite of the handicap of being the son of a college president. A Navy man for three years, Dan already had four semesters of college training under the V-12 program when he enrolled at M. B.C. in the fall of 1946. His main extra-curricular activity the first year here was in convincing June Randall that she should marry him. Mission accom- Plished, Aug. 1, 1947. After receiving his A.B.

Well, PILYLLIS MOOMAW doesn’t exactly compete with the skyscrapers. On the other hand she isn't shor: when it comes to hours credit for her A.B., so we can't keep her here by not letting her graduate. (That wouldn't be necessary anyhow becatise she is to start to work in the M.B.C. office June 1, 1948, so she'll be around!) Phyllis, the daughter of an ex-college professor (He taught history for two years at Cotner University and is ncw a “big” business man up in Nebraska), attended Doane College for a year before coming here in the fall of ‘45. She likes it here because she enjoys being around other Christian pople who have the same ideas absut life and the same aims that she has. Quiet, soft-spoken RUTH SPURGEON, who spent over two years in the Army Nurse Corps, has proved her worth “taking care of” the girls in the girls' durm. The boys, too, have appreciated her willingness in treating theic cuts and bruises. Ruth came to M.B.C. in the fall of 1946, She had previously attended Scottsbluff Junior College and had received her R.N. at West Nebraska Methodist Hospital. Yes, she's a Nebraskan, She expects to ro on to graduate school, temporarily at least, after re- ceiving her A.B. After that she hopes to do missionary nursing of some sort. Right now she is thrilled with the prospect of being nurse at the Lake James Christian Assembly this summer. WILM {©SC IAS was born with red hair but she probably got a jJarge share of her freckles working as a catskinner (tractor jockey) on her father's farm. She still feels right at home perched on a tractor or behind the stesring wheel of a truck. When she was a senior in Belleville Kansas) High School, Wilma observed that people work for one of twd reasons: (1) to see how much they can get for themselves, or (2) to se2 how much plezsure and joy they can give others. She decided she wanted to be one of the latter group; Christian service seemed the best way to ac- complish this end. One day she came to visit M. B. C., and the students took it for granted she was coming back thatfall—so she did. In her four years here, Wilma has learned to appreciate the value of friends and has ciscovered that the opportunities for Christian service are many and va- ried. Wilma will receive an A. B. this spring; she has already made ar- rangements io begin nurses’ training at the Presbyterian Hospital, Denver, Colorado, this fall. HARVEY THOMPSON was born on a sheep ranch near Buhl, I¢aho. He was gracuated from Sante Fe High School, Sante Fe, New Mexico, in 1934; attended Chapman College, Los Angeles, California. two and cne half years; and was Chaplain's Assistant in the Army for three years during which time he spent two months in the University of Basel, Switzerland. He also received invaiuable experience as Boys’ Group Sup- ervisor in a reform school at Whittier, California, where he worked for six months. Harvey met his wife, then Birdie Lucile Jensen, in church at Junction City, while he was in the Army. Harvey says he likes M. B. C's “sensible attitude about religion.” As soon as he gets his A.B. he is heading for Plullips University. He doesn't want to waste any time be- cause he expects to be back in the chaplaincy before long, 7 ROBERT ZWIENK grew up on the farm of his grandmother and uncle near Stockton, Kansas. Other than farm work he has also had experience as a filling station attendant and store clerk. During the war he worked in a defense plant and spent ten months in the Army Air Corps. He, toa, received something more than an education from M. B. C.—at the end of his freshman year he married Vivian Barsell (June 15, 1945). Their son, David Robert, was born April 18, 1947. Bob wants to continue his education after receiving the A. B., but he doesn't know how soon he can make it. At present he is serving as minister of the church at Wisley, Kansas. VIVIAN ZWINK (whose picture we are sorry we do not have) comes from Omaha, Nebraska, She came to M. B. C. in the fall of 1944, She and Bob were married two years ago. They have a little boy, David, who is now beginning to walk. Vivian will receive a Certificate of Christian Educa- tion, and will continue to assist her husband in his ministry.

We do not consider our- selves individually to be any more important or essential to the school than any other stud- ents but as a class we inherit a grave responsi- bility—entertaining the school at the All- School Banquet. Therefore, all of our activities of the past year have supposedly been directed Ima Jean Kidd, Elva Mary Biehl, Virginia to this end.

She will be long remembered for her faithful service as organist and pianist. Morine is a native of Elkville, Ilino‘s, where her father is a mer- chant. After graduation from Elkville Com- munity High School she attended the State ‘Teachers College at Carbondale, Illinois, She says her main ambition is “to live in one place instead of two. When Larry heard her say this, he said that his main ambition was “to travel—to get away from the monotony of stay- ing in any one place.” So, it’s plain to see that the Barnes family is destined for happiness. If they stay in one place, Morine will be satisfied; and if they move about, Larry will be satisfied. If one is satisfied, the other will be happy that the one is satisfied and vice versa; so how can they Iose?

AUTOGRAPHS (We owe our gratitude to the freshman class for this space, and especially to Mr. John Greenlee, who agreed to write the freshman article, but whom the deadline found empty-handed.) apes SPECIAL STUDENTS SPECIAL STUDENTS—Back Row: Front Row: The Special Students Class is a rather new organization in Manhattan Bible College. It was organized in September 1945, for all stu- dents whose classification was Special; that is, not classified either as freshmen, sophomores, � juniors, or seniors. Some types of students making up the special students group are min- isters’ wives and others not seeking a degree but desiring a number of selected Bible College courses; those students who have not completed the high school requirements for college en- trance; Kansas State College Students taking electives here; and all others enrolled in less than ten hours per semester. Many students, especially special students, do work aside from their classes and studies to support themselves. This is why some of them are unable to carry more than ten hours of college work per semester. Pertaining to those students who have not completed the high school requirements for college entrance, experience has shown the wisdom of a preparatory (high school) depart- ment in connection with a college like M. B. C. The principle reason is that some of 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 students would never get a college education, if they —49=— Mrs, Fred B, Paxton, Genevieve Escritt, Morine Barnes, President T. H. Johnson, Helen Nelson Bridwell, Mary Gilstrap, Warren Rarick. had to take their high school work through the regular channels. Therefore, that they may have a college education, M. B. C. maintains a preparatory department. We are thankful that preparatory work is offered for the benefit of students who have not completed high school, and yet have given their lives to the preaching of the Gospel. Also, for those not having high school diplo- mas, there is now another way in which they may qualify for regular college entrance and classification. They may take a test at Kan- sas State College provided for non-high school graduates. If they pass the test, they are piv- en a certificate equivalent to a high school diplo- ma. Several special students took the test and passed it with flying colors during the first se- mester of 1947-48. Thus they passed from the Special Students Class to regularly enrolled freshmen or sophomores. Douglas Donovan served very efficiently in 1945-46 as the organization's first president. Some very worthwhile projects were carried out by the “Specials” that year, such as providing the recreational facilities in the Bible Coll basement. Wayne Schreiber was president 1946-47. This year they are continuing good work under the capable leadership of Mo- rine Barnes. SUMMER SCHOOL = SUMMER SCHOOL—Back Row: Jun Stewart, Bob Zwink, Brady Fowler, Orville Phillips, J. B. Carr, Front Row: Carol Clark (Albright), Phyllis Moomaw, Chris Willis, Ruth Spurgeon. Oh, dread—summer school!!! But it really isn't so bad as you think. Last summer our classes started at eight o'clock, lasting until noon. The subjects were Hebrew Literature and Comparative Religions, each class lasting an hour and forly minutes. By having all classes in the morning, we had the afternoon for study or work. Our classes met in a north classroom and the building was cool in the mornings. There are a number of things to do and go to in the summer here in Manhattan. The muni- cipal swimming pool is open every day and evening; there is always a ball game at the city park; and then there is a band concert every week. Picnics are fun in the summer-time, and £0 we had a lot of fun doing that. There were nine Bible College students in summer school: Chris Willis, Carol Clark, Ruth 5 Spurgeon, Phyllis Moomaw, Jim Stewart, Or- ville Phillips, Brady Fowler, Bob Zwink, and Larry Barnes. Don Albright, Dot Benson, Maurice Bigger, and Bob Dunn were students at Kansas State. — P. M.

Front Row: Frances Willis, Music; Ima Jean Kidd, Junior Class; Larry Barnes, President; Lloyd Taylor, Faculty Advisor; Virginia Schwarz, Sundoulai; Verla Pollat, Girls' Dorm. A red-letter day in the history of Manhattan Bible College for years to come was February 5, 1948, for it was then that the Student Coun- cil became an official part of the school, acting under an approved constitution. Preceding this were weeks of preparation and careful delibera- tion as the council and its committee, Bob Ste- phens and Virginia Schwartz, sought to fashion @ constitution to meet the needs of the school. Our purpose, outlined in the preamble, is “to further a spirit of unity and to so coordinate our efforts to the end that we may render the greatest possible service to Christ, both while we are in schoo! and in the years to come.” Ordinarily the Student Council president will be selected by the student body at a meeting during the thirteenth or fourteenth weeks of the spring semester. He will then be able to begin activities without delay in the fall. Officers chosen for the remainder of the 1947- 48 term were: President, Larry Barnes; Vice- President, Virginia Schwarz; Sec-Treas., George Harder; Faculty Advisor, Professor Lloyd Tay- lor. A number of suggestions brought before the council by representatives or by suggestions Placed in the Student Council box have been considered and acted upon. The cooperation and interest shown by students and faculty have been gratifying and, now that the foundation has been laid, we look forward to years of great- er service through the Student Council.

In every group of Christians there are those who are vitally interested in missions. M. B. C. is no exception, In 1944 the interest was so in- creasing that the Student Volunteers was or- ganized. O. D. Johnson, its first president. is now serving the Master in India. Several stu- dents, now Student Volunteers, will in a few years be serving the same way in other parts of the world. 7 Our sacrificial banquet this year centered around India, with Miss Jennie Fleming as guest speaker. . We strive to serve in any way which will fur- ther the Kingdom's work in and near Manhat- tan or in other parts of our country and the world at large. | e have been fortunate this year in hearing | | | | several missionaries and students, and teachers from Kansas State College. The theme song of Student Volunteers echoes the petition of any true Christian: “Lord, lay some soul upon through me, and may I nobly do my part to win that soul for thee.” ie oe Eckstein, Orville Phillips.

Sundoulai, the girls organization of the col- lege, is performing its service in M. B. C. for the eighth year under the theme “As We Serve. ‘They began this service the first week of School by the old members adopting the pros- pective members as their Little Sisters and help- ing them to become acquainted at once with the college, all its members and activities and help- ing them to become familiar with the whole town. Some of the features of the programs pre- sented were: Big and Little Sister Picnic, round table discussion of the girls’ summer experi- ences in the service of Christ, a book review, interesting talks as, “The Work of a Minister's Wife.” by Mrs. Arnold, and various singing and Plays. We took as our project this year visiting the shut-ins on Sunday afternoons. The happy smiles and sincere thanks have been the re- wards received by those who have participated in this calling. Our missionary fund is to be sent to Harlan Cary this year. Buying a cot for the ladies’ room was also one of our projects. It is our hope to have a series of talks on ideas for Christian service that girls might per- form and to have something done about a place- ment service for girls. The following officers are serving this year: President, Doris Towne; Vice-President, Arlene King; Secretary-Treasurer, Verla Lee Werten- berger; Student Council Representative, Virginia Schwarz; Sponsor, Mrs. Johnson. —40— PARDEE HALL GIRLS DORM GIRLS—Back Row: Betty Karas, Elva Parks, Betty Barth, Evelyn Parks, Marybelle Kidd, Verla Lee Wertenberger, Guyla Briggs.

THE DORM Next door to the Bible College is Pardee Hall, better known as the Girls’ Dormitory. It is here that 23 lovely girls from Nebraska, Colorado, Missouri, and Kansas make their home. Ruth Spurgeon from Scottsbluff, Nebraska. is the girls' house mother. She is loved by all be- cause she is considerate and understanding. Ruth also is a Registered Nurse who served in the war in the Army Nurse Corps. The girls know the tender care and service she renders as their house mother and nurse, ‘There are two girls in each room. There is great fellowship among the girls and closer fel- lowship among the roommates. Before retiring for the night the girls gather in the reception room for devotions, each girl taking her turn as leader, to lead their lives closer to God. - College life would not be complete without liv- ing in the dorm. There are little pranks played now and then—and the fellowship makes them feel like sisters. Gotta go now . . . I'm next for the bath tub! MAGNOVOX STAFF The “Great Voice of the Magnavox was first heard three years ago when the freshmen class began its publication. Then and each yeat” since it has been published by the freshmen for the purpose of informing and entertaining stu- dents, faculty and friends, We feel that an improvement was made this year by including on the staff a reporter from each of the upper classes; thus we have secured more of their likes and dislikes for publication. Members of the Magnavox Staff this year in- clude: Editor, Marian Rates; Co-Editor, Martha Chittenden; Faculty Advisor, Prof. Carr; Re- porters, Jodie Klarquist, John Greenlee, Paul Escktein, Elva May Biehl, Dorothy Benson; Art- ist, Jim Stewart. i.
