Am I my brother's keeper? The answer to this question implies the need for missions. The prophets answered it with a yes as they served their people at home or in other regions of the kingdom, Jesus answered this question in a very affirmative manner by the way in which, by the death which He died. In the parable of the Good Samaritan Jesus illustrates the truth that any one who needs our help is our neighbor. In another parable Jesus taught that through serving humanity we serve Him. “Inasmuch as ye did it unto the least of these my brethern, ye have done it unto me.” The task of us all, the world mission of the church is contained in the Great Commission, “Go ye therefore into all the world, making disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you, and lo, I am with you even unto the end of the world.” World evangelism is the God-given task of the church. The New Testament presents the church as a missionary to the world. We must feel the deep sense of responsibility for carrying out the marching orders of Christ. The church exists to win the world whether we call it education, evangelism, or missions. Missions is the term we have applied to a method spreading Christ- ianity. For the want of a better term we have called services offered to hungering humanity in lands removed from our own Foreign Mis- sions. And the services rendered to underpriv- iliged people in spiritual and physical need in our own country we have called Home Missions. The Cross of Christ is the basis of all our mission work. The redemptive power in Christ's death was an important item, This is the goal of all missions—to bring the lost to Christ and Christ to them, to bring light out of darkness, to bring people to the realization of the abund- ant life which Jesus offers by filling their phy- sical and spiritual needs. Paul has often been called the first foreign missionary of the New Testament. He was will- ing to leave his home and travel through great difficulties in order that much of the known world of that time might know the better way of life. The New Testament church strongly advo- cates missions. They have had a vision of the dream of God in regard to the world task. We are proud of the seven graduates from our midst who have seen the need and responded to the specific work of missions, and we pray that many shall follow their example. One of the number is serving in home missions, the others are serving on foreign soil. To these individuals we pay our high respect and tribute. They know the great value attached to each human soul. Their love for God has taken them far from us by distances but they are indeed close bound in the bonds of Christian service and fellowship. Elmer Kile, one of the early graduates of the school with the class of 1933, is enlisted in home missions. He has served various churches. At the present time he is located in New York City where he ministers especially to the Jewish people, He has a chapel built on wheels known as the Go-Ye Chapel. Mr. and Mrs. Harland Cary, graduates of the class of 1940, are at Eagle Pass, Texas, where they are operating a school for Mexican min- isters. They had planned to go to South America but were not allowed to enter. They are doing a valuable piece of work for the Mexican people. O, D. “Pat Johnson, a graduate of 1945, is a missionary to India. He sailed to India in 1946; he now has his own station located at Jhansi, United Provinces. He is carrying on a general program of evangelism. In 1945 he re- turned to the States for a brief furlough and re- organization of the work. Rolland Sojodin, with his wife Gladys, a graduate with the class of 1943, represents us on the Chinese mission field. It was through the inspiration of a Chinese pilot during the war that they decided on this country for their field of foreign service. George Beckman, a native Nebraskan and a@ graduate also of the class of 1943, graduated from Butler University. He and his wife are serving in Korea. Hal Heimer, a graduate of the class of 1947, now in Butler University, is a missionary recruit to the Belgian Congo. When he has received the proper training he will go to that region. Warren Dittemore, among the class of 1941, has gone to his heavenly reward. He was mar- ried to Isabel Maxey who had served one term in Tibet. After graduation from Butler Univer- sity the Dittemore’s went to Tibet. It was War- ren's privilege to serve only a few weeks in the territory in which he longed to teach the mes- sage of Christ. He was stricken with a fever before his work was scarcely begun. His wife continues his work on the field. A piano in the chapel of M. B. C. has been dedicated as a memorial to him and his love for the Christ for whom he so bravely died. To him we pay special tribute, “And they that are wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that call many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever.’ Daniel 12:3, =v “allem TazeH ‘seysnH ploleyH “poom Sawer ‘ysno[D atijeag ‘IaSUlaUT AA SLEW ‘EHEWUAL SWION “aHeWYM UO(T ‘JAeMa}S Sawer ‘BIYS owyg ‘IIS Arseny ‘eBpiaeg ered ‘uokuny ang ‘yoIey UarINA ‘AaTIay ePAIO ‘Bays Aye ‘seuor autuBar ‘S@A] PUTION ‘S8AT “f¢ “Y ‘“AapseH 321085 ‘aajueary uvor ‘1a]MOg [EqeI ‘HIeqQIOg UATIAB}] ‘saylog arplon ‘yood assar ‘TeMpPlg UsTeH ‘UVAeg eyeq “A[WeT “D “A “W Ul peinjolg JON s}uapnys ‘[Je10q yaxeiq ‘sueaq uog ‘JayIajeeq uwlATy ‘TaMplug pseMpgA ‘“YoIng sniing ‘uepsor¢ apie ‘qe Jewlsq :mMoy IsIIZ ueyeiIn) adlineyl “weysery sajaeyg ‘Je10j1¢ yyaqezyg” ‘SAXCH P[9QeW SSL “UMOT PIOJ[IM “JOId ‘UMOT PIOJNIAL “SAW ‘WWBD Sawer “SII “WIeD sawer joig ‘SpulIH “A [811A ueaq ‘spulH SMj}eaID “Jorg ‘uosUYOs ‘H “L ‘Setq ‘uOsuYyOL H “L “SIN ojAe], PAO T “Jorg ‘1ojABJ, PAOL'T “sa ‘steas si[Aud ‘YUIAVZ Ploreq ‘deaystig uearg :Moy puosIsg “ZunoxX pjeuog ‘uojing ueaq ‘jae auen ‘sieag pjoleyy ‘Pury uosjan ‘aarT sian ‘seuor Ayeg ‘ppryy uver ewy ‘uo,ing eyyreW ‘sasiay Arey “Bunox Areyy ‘jsinbiepy a1por ‘SITIM Savuerg ‘]]epUeY SloT “uojpUagT eIUIBIIA ‘asplag sedtog ‘auoD uvar ‘siaspoyY uous, esBg aanew ‘ulaysyOq INeG ‘UNsayINS YIAq ‘wsutAy Jseqoy ‘eqratyog aude :MOY PAUL ‘sdUd aTfArQ ‘Bury Aapatys ‘uo}Ng auaH eulsA ‘uosuag Ale “Sury suary ‘sqooer yyNiewION ‘ueWyJOH Adsag ‘sAsiIg sJuUuog ‘felued SIPOy ‘[fepurry epariy ‘suoD sues [oseD ‘teFsequajzaM say eflaA “ZIeMYyOS eruIsIrA “prey YINY epea ‘s%izg udjaaq ‘uossapuy StoT ‘ylaqry elsursara ‘s Bug elAnr) ‘apy aoAo¢ ‘uldulseang BIsA ‘'AUAL SUTIAYUIEY ‘Weplew [194jsq ‘uOsIajag [eH “eyJeaMJay, UuoIkw ‘sueAM IIAIO ‘MOH YANO AIIQMAN 1310 ‘sea Jaysay ‘uysneA [Iq ‘SMaURLTAL Yee ‘uo}xeg paiq “Ta[Aog S[MaT ‘edeTD uog ‘uos}iuey [eteq ‘ayay yWaseag ‘s}eM PAO!'T ‘uosdwuioyy Any ‘suaydajg jaeqoy ‘uoslepuy paemoyH ‘uoduny gog ‘au0D plAeq ‘sUMO] UL yeW ‘uOSIapuy YUeIA ‘HOO UOg emer uod ‘Sur duytud ‘8yUuUM ANQIIM ‘Jadu0D [BALA ‘SHIH sapzeyD ‘uysesaiddy Aey ‘ysno[D yore :moy Hoe —vi— ar - Manhattan Bible College Biography In 1927, a Bible College was founded in Man- hattan, Kansas, by Eugene Bible University of Eugene, Oregon. For two years this college re- mained a child of Eugene. In 1929, all property belonging to the Bible College founded by Eu- gene in Manhattan in 1927, was deeded by the Eugene Bible University, to a new corporation, known as Christian Workers’ University. Manhattan Bible College came into being on June 20, 1930, when Christian Workers’ Uni- versity deeded all of its holding to Manhattan Bible College, which was chartered on that date, and which institution has functioned from 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 financial 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 school 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 schoo] is within reach of five hun- dred congregations to which we may look for support, and which adjacency makes an excel- lent 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. Perhaps no other college among “‘us’’ is so strategically lo- cated. 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 opportunity 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 Testatment. Christian conduct is expected of all students in the College. Any student found unable to conduct himself as a Christian in the College. community, cr elsewhere will be dismissed [rom 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. Al! students are required to attend Sunday Church service. During the twenty-two years of the history of the Bible College one hundred filty-seve. people have been graduated from her halls. Many of this number are preachers, others preacher’s wives, some missionaries, and several are outstanding Christian teaders. 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 gush who is the King of Kings and Lord of ords. —VilI— MANAGEMENT OFFICE FORCE FACULTY LIBRARY PRES.

C.'s efficient secretary. Phyllis, by the way, is a foreigner, being a native of Ne- braska. She graduated from the Bible College with the class of 1948, She was Phyllis Moomaw then, receiving an A. B, degree for her efforts. It is because of her that the schoo! remains the well organized unit that it 1s for she is in charge of carrying out all the details of administration. She handles all of the correspondence and takes care of the finances, such as taking in the money for the meal tickets of those who eat at “Tillie's and the monthly room rent of those who stay at the dormitories (she is more than likely in charge of the finances at home too, because she makes the money while her husband, Harold, goes to school). Her greatest virtue is her in- finite patience. She never gets (blows her top) angry when someone comes in about the time she is ready to close the ottice. By the way, you might ask her what happens when she gets in too big a hurry to lock the office and leaves her key inside! One of the more minor ‘but never- the-less important) of her many tasks is to ring the bell for class. So if you are kept in class by Manhattan Bible College, 1943. the lack of a dismissal bell, you know who to see, THE LIBRARY Manhattan Bible College has every right to be proud of her library facilities. With 8,U00 or more volumes on selected religious and related subjects, a real challenge is oftered to the stu- dent. The library room has been nicely furnished by some of the churches and loyal Christian friends. There are aiways heipful librarians at the checking desk to assist the students. Mrs. Kenneth Storer has been head librarian for the past six years, being well qualified and capable for her work. She is ably assisted this year by Miss Mabel Hakes. In an emergency, Mrs. Fred Paxton, Sr., or Mrs. Lloyd ‘faylor are able and willing to help out. Besides this, across the road on “the Hill” is the large Kansas State College Library with its extensive services which 1s available for use of M. B. C. students.

MEN'S QUARTET The personnel of the M. B. C. Quartet at the beginning of the '48-'49 schoo] year was: A. J. Ives, first tenor; Professor Lown, second tenor; Howard Anderson, baritone, and David Cone, bass. At the break of day three times a week these energetic singers labored until the first hour classes began. Professor Lown had high hopes at such advancement, but py the second semes- ter A. J. Ives had graduated and David and Howard had taken on other obligations, cach being replaced by new men. The present personnel of the quartet is Pro- fessor Lown, first tenor; Jack Matthews, second tenor; bass. piano the quartet Don Young, baritone, and Don Rock, With the help of Goldie Danial at the is advancing in repertoire and ability. CHI SINGERS A new musical ensemble has been appearing this year known as the Chi Singers (pronounced “key ). Chi (X) is a Greek letter, the first in the Greek word for Christ, and is often used as a symbol! for Christ's name. ‘Therefore, the “Chi Singers have adopted as their motto, “Chi stands for Christ, and so do we.” Their program includes ens2mble numbers, quartets, trios, and instrumental specialties. The entire ensemble consists of four male and four female voices. and on the assembly program at the Bible Col- This group has appeared in chapel services lege. The primary purpose of organizing was to use the ministry of music to preach the Word to those churches which are at such a distance as to make the taking of the full choir im- practical, However, the group has sung before various local civic organizations, and takes any opportunity to spread the good news of Christ in song. SS ee ee ee CHAPEL CHOIR MUSICAL MINISTERS The chapel choir this year has been trying to do as Paul says in Eph. 5:19, “Singing and mak- ing melody to the Lord with all your heart.” We have given thanks to God in song and have given our heart in doing it. Our ministry in music this year has been only in the Wednesday night chapel services. There we lead the whole assembly as we sing our hymns and spiritual songs, and sometimes share a musical message with all gathered there. We are working on an Easter cantata which is presented on the Wed- nesday night before the vacation, and, we plan — j= CHI SINGERS also to give special music for M. B. C. day and commencement. The music for the cantata and the new choir robes for the additional members of the choir have been bought by the offerings taken at the Wednesday evening services. We are grateful for them and want to use them for the Lord. Our director is Wilford Lown, and accompanists have been Lois Anderson and David Cone Our work in music has been reat to each of us who has shared in it, and we look forward to even further exaltation this year and next Z TESS ee pt Mountain Top Momen ts “hy A Moments of Inspiration Besides the richness of spiritual depth which issues forth from the class rooms, the weekly chapel services, the daily devotionals, there are other activities of fellowship and spiritual de- velopment which lend toward our inspiration in being a part of the M. B. C. family. Often the radiating smiles are seen on the faces and joy in the lives of those who have found their partner who will serve beside them in the service of Christ. We share with them their joy and their dreams. Many of the wed- dings take place here in Manhattan either at Valerius Chapel or in the sanctuary of the First Christian Church. It is always interesting to see the various reactions of the President in his usual custom of teasing the bride. Probably the most important social event of the year combined with a program of inspira- tion is the All School Banquet held in Kohler Hall of The First Christian Church each spring. Last year the theme was “Cast Your Nets.” Decorations were made up pertaining to fishing. In the absence of Dr. Myers of Kansas City, Professor Lown gave a message challenging us to “fish and catch men for Christ.” Another medium of inspiration has come about through the assembly period which is held once a week on Thursday mornings. This Was a new activity this year. Various types of programs were presented from those of the serious nature to those of the lighter side of life. Each class and organization has had the re- sponsibility of a program sometime during the year. Some of the main programs were in the way of outside speakers such as: Charles Rails- back, missionary to Alaska, who enlightened eur vision of the service to be rendered there; Ray Zack, an Indian from Washington, pre- sentecl the needs of his people; Dr. E. K. Hidgon, Director cf Oriental Missions, presented the requisites for a good missionary—(1) Physically sound, (2) Emotionally stable, (3) Spiritually compelled. (4) Socially sensitive and (5) Intel- Jectually alert. A film was presented on how to write a theme step by step. Another was pre- sented on “Visitation Evangelism.” At least once a year some outstanding speaker is invited to spend three or four days with us to share their experiences with us, and to guide and discuss our problems. This year W. R. Walker of Cincinnati spent the week before Easter with us. It was a challenge and a bles- sing to those who went out over Easter vaca- tion to labor in their respective places of service. if How Shall They Preach Except They Be Sent? Each year, for the past few years, a day has been set aside in the first of the month of May, and called M. B. C. Day. It isa day for putting the college before the people of the churches. Invitations are sent out, and all those from the churches interested in the Bible College come to Manhattan for a day of fellowship and Inspiration. They have opportunity to visit the college, attend the special services of that day, and get acquainted with the students and ‘aculty at the picnics and activities. This day is sponsored by E. T. A., one of the men’s organizations of M. B. C. in the hope that others will be attracted to the work of the kingdom, and prepare for a life of full-time service to Christ.

B. C. boys fail to create a sweat, he should see them in action on Monday afternocns and then about once a week when they cngage in competition with other small colleges, town teams, and the like. It is geod for men to draw away from the grind of studies at various times to build their physical bodies. The basketball team this year has not Won so many games but it has worked hard, and thereby derived great satisfaction and en- joyment from participating. We lost A. J. Ives at midseason and will lose two more by grad- uation this spring, nevertheless there are enough underclassmen to make the prospects for next year look bright. As soon as Mother Nature sent the warm sunbeams to kiss the earth to make everything Warm and green, the baseball gang was right in the midst of it all. The games were lots of fun. Next to basketball — baseball is best of all! —|o— Tischhauser Hall All the students vho cat in the M. B. C. Din- ing Hall know how important it is to them and M. B. C. It o’fers an opportunity for students to cat home cooked food at a reason- able price. The girls can work out part of their board also. MRS. THIELMAN AND DELBERT TISCHHAUSER DINING HALL SOMETIMES REFERRED TO AS, “TILLIES” There is a warm fellowship among diners which wculd not be possible elesewhere. Here ihe boys and girls have a chance to become better acquainted and often this friendship blossem3 into a romance with wedding bells as the climax. Many improvements have been made, both in ihe ‘kitchen and in the dining hall. A new double sink with built-ins was added to the kitchen and a large cupbcard was built in the dining hall to allow storage space for food. The two rooms were also papered. After all these improvements were made, we were given a Grade A rating for our Dining Room. The presence cf our congenial cook, Mrs. Eva Thielman, who presides over the whole, adds the cheery hcm2 touch to the atmosphere.

SBaaaweoee@ INSPIRATION CHAPEL , MEDITATION ALUMNI hl Devotional Life In all paths life may take we must seek out God in whatsoever we do in order to be ser- vants of Him wherever we are. Especially those times of discouragement are the means of renewing ourselves with our Redeemer's strength. In our studying sometimes we grow discouraged too, and it is then we try to do as Paul tells us in 11 Cor. 4:1, “Being engaged in this service by the mercy of God, we ao not Jose heart.” in the midst of our study life we lake the opportunity of devoting ourselves to God, Of course, we study Bible subjects most of the day, but this devotional time we set aside for the worship of the Une whom we serve by our study. ‘the devotional life of the school is especially important to us as a group, for there we are bound together anew—not seattered here and there as in classes through- out the day—bound by common love we have for the Christ. The devotional life can be seen in several places among us. Each morning at 9:45 we who want to gather in the chapel and listen to the Word of God read to us along with the thoughts of the leader. Here we are able to bow our heads and worship while the organ music plays. Sometimes special music also 1s given tor our worship. The drawing apart for a few minutes each aay is just how we all can draw closer to God. In our everyday life we can get so busy and so deep in things that we may not take time to pray, but to draw close to god we must draw our attentions away from things and place it fully upon Him and we pray and medi- tate. We turn to God at times of joy and vic- tory, as I Thess. 5:16 says, “Rejoice always,” and at times of disappointment we can each look to II Cor. 4:16-17, “So we do not loose heart . . . for this slight momentary affliction is preparing us for an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison.” Other places show us the devotions in separ- ate groups, but the highlights of each week comes on Wednesday night when we all gather with our friends to worship God as we sing and pray. We experience in this service true fellowship with Christ and with our brethren. The fellowship as Paul describes it throughout his writings as a “partnership” with Christ and because of this, a partnership with fellow- Christians. As we sing together our hearts are lifted, for seldom is singing found any better than of Christian young people. Then as we meditate and pray together, we can place the cares and anxieties in Jesus’ hands to be taken care of by His able strength. Then comes the preaching and we receive the message, as all do whenever we gather in the Lord's house to hear what God has to say to us through His minister. We preachers must be preached to, for we must be “refilled,” as does a vessel that is continually drawn from, as we are when we go out to preach, Those who preach to us may be visiting speakers, faculty members, or per- haps one of the senior students who wants to share a message with us before he leaves our midst. Just behind the pulpit hangs a large picture of Salman's “Head of Christ.” This portrait has come often to be the center of prayer and thought, for as we sit and listen to the Scrip- ture or a poem we cannot but see how vividly expressions of Christ have been protrayed in this beautiful painting. Through it we may come to understand more fully and love more deeply our Saviour. In this way we are “look- ing to the author and finisher of our faith,” Heb. 12:2. When we have drawn closer to God in these and other ways our lives are made better, and easier in the way of the Master when we go out, “making love our aim” (I Cor. 14:1), to teach men the vital thing in each life is the mode of life Jesus taught and lived. The life we seek is that life for which John wrote his Gospel: “these are written that you might believe and believing might have life in His name,” and the life Jesus defined in His prayer, “and this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God and Jesus Christ whom thou sent,” John 17:3. This is the life we all seek for and the lite we may find if we believe on Him. = Alumni 1929 Brown, Marion A., A. 1, Denver, Colo. Smith, M SoM. AL 0, indianapolis, ind. 1930 Ilarmon, Rex A., A. B..

B. C, adopted a new organization officially known as “Christine House.” To any- one around school it is either “The Boys' Dorm,” or 1709 (Laramie.) In the basement are two cozy apartments, making home for two families, the Wewerka’s from Texas, and the Hughes’ from Indiana. On the second floor are six rooms, home for 13 boys from Kansas, Nebraska, Illinois, Mis- souri, and California. If you can imagine 13 boys in one house you can get a pretty good idea of life at the boys' dorm. The Paxton family occupy the ground floor. Mr. Paxton being field representative for M. B. C., isn't home much of the time. Mrs. Paxton, besides doing the regular duties of mother and housewife, does an excellent job of keeping the upstairs clean, a job not easy with 13 boys to mess up the place. Besides that she is “Mom” to us all. She patiently listens to our many ex- periences of joy and sorrow. She is always willing to let us use the kitchen for popping corn or making candy, and the living room for, well — shall we say for entertaining our friends, Then on top of all this, whenever one of us 1s sick, she does all she can to make us comfortable. Really we are just one big happy family.

A year or so ago most of us thought that we were pretty smart but more and more we are becoming impressed with our own ignorance, We are grateful to the Bible College, to all who make it possible, and especially to our professors, not only for the op- portunity to learn more of the Bible, God's Word, but also the encouragement and inspiration that have been so abundant. We have had good times together as a class under the sponsorship of Lloyd Taylor, and the leading of our president, Paul Eckstein. During the first semester we had a party given by Pro- fessor and Mrs. Lioyd Taylor who also furnished the refreshments which included a tub filled with pop-corn. During the second semester we are responsible for the All-School Banquet with the theme, “Go Preach.” Eighteen of our boys are ministering to churches now and several of the girls are doing special work. Our prayer is that we, as a group and individually, may effectively serve our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Our officers are as follows: Paul Eckstein, President; Jack Matthews, Vice President; Dick Sutherlin, Secretary-Treasurer; Dorcas Bridge, Reporter; Edward Bridwell, Student Council Representative; Prof. Lloyd Taylor, Sponsor.

Since that time it has functioned as one of the outstanding organi- zations of the school. It is the organization of M. B. C. which stimu- Jates wholesome and virtuous activity among the men of the school. Epsilon Tau Alpha, the Greek words for hope, truth and honor, are the principles upon which this group builds its ac- tivities. It not only serves to enrich the lives of the men but gives them a greater under- standing for their ministry. It's program for the year has included debates, guest speakers, and a moving picture. This year as in previous years E. T, A. is spon- soring M. B. C. Day and the college annual known as the “Mabico.” Officers for the school year 1948-49 are: Gene Mallett, president; Alvin Daetwiler, vice-presi- dent; Dean Burton, secretary and treasurer; Don Jewett, council representative. = Back Row: Orville Phillips, Everett Keifer, Mary Keifer, Evelyn Parks, Vada Ruth Ward, Virginia Albert, Dorcas Bridge, Darrell Harrison Front Row: Fred Paxton, Bob Stephens, Mary Benson, Verla Lee Wertenberger, Mrs. James Carr, Prof. James Carr, Prof. Wilford Lown ALB, Xe This is not a new organization, just a new name for the Student Volunteers. The Alpha Beta Chi stands for the name: “Ambassadors of Christ the King.” The Student Volunteer movement is an organization among the secular universities, and Bible Colleges have been asked not to carry the same name for their organiza- tion. This year, our sacrificial banquet centered around a part of a neighboring state: the South- eastern corner of Oklahoma. Haro ld Dunson was the guest speaker. He works in the Kiam- ichi Mountain Indian Mission. The young people seen in this picture have some time or another, been thinking about work on the mission field, here or abroad. Several have already gone out. With your encourage- ment, prayers, and the hope that our zeal will continue to grow, we will soon arrive at the destinations that we have been thinking about. In order to have a definite project, we have decided to be the living link of the Indian boy, Freddie, whom Pat Johnson has thought to be a good prospect in evangelistic work. This kind of work brings us closer to the mission field. “Lord, lay some soul upon my heart and love that soul through me, and may I nobly do my part to win that soul for thee.” This closing hymn of benediction and our theme song, ‘We've A Story To Tell To The Nations” silently en- courage us to take up our cross and follow Him. tw.

Johnson, Martha Burton, Betty Jones Special Students Special students are those who, for some reason, are not taking a full course. Some are young people completing their high school work, some are married girls and others are mothers who have a desire for more knowledge along the lines that will help them co-operate in the work of their husbands. They are taking from one to seven hours credit and they may be working for a Certifi- cate of Christian Education or gradually have enough work to apply on a full course, No regular meetings for election of officers or social gatherings were held during the year. President Johnson is the sponsor. a oe Summer School Summer school of 1948 brought together these Christian friends in Christ who might “Study to show themselves approved unto God, work- men that needeth not to be ashamed handling aright the word of truth.” The subjects offered were Ancient Classics, World Christianity, and Hermeneutics. Lloyd Taylor was the professor who instructed these classes. By beginning at 7 o’clock in the morn- Kenneth Haley - Grace Siegmund - Bonnie Briggs - Lester Myers - Virgil Conger - Wayne Schreiber - Jim Stewart - Merle Jordan - Orville Phillips - Jack Clough - Vada Ruth Ward - Evelyn Parks - Delmar Webb - Phyllis Sears - ing, we were able to meet in the coolest part of the day for classes, this also gave the students opportunity to work or study in the afternoon. Phyllis Moomaw, our office secretary, left us being just a single girl and came back Mrs. Harold Sears.

The girls were greatly delighted last fall to find four new rooms added, a new bathroom, and a spacious storeroom. Miss Mable Hakes came this year to be our housemother. Her presence and guidance has added to our fellow- ship and growth in Christ in the dormitory. Hoffman was elected as President qeettic second semester. Lois Anderson is Secretary and Treasurer. Ima Jean Kidd has served as Student Council representative. The fellowship together in the dining hall, the mom- ents of inspiration during devotions, the chit- chats in the rooms and bathroom and the skat- ing party all add to the life of the dormitory a can not soon be forgotten by the partici- pants. MAGNAVOX STAFF This has been another busy year for the Mag- navox Stalf, Since it was the voice of the stud- ents at M. B. C, they have tried to make it their very best. Through news items, editorials, and some items on the lighter side of life, we've made it a variety pack! The staff has been quite large, enlisting the help of the whole student body. Sue Runyon, freshman class reporter and artist, left us a httle short-handed the first of second semester, but Shirley King came to the rescue with some out- standing work. Goldie Foils and Jeanine Jones were also heipers first semester, but were not with us second semester. ‘The Editor's faithful assistant was Don Claggett. Dean Hinds, our sponsor and advisor, helped keep us in line. Other reporters were Betty Jones, Lois Randall, Doreas Bridge, Mary Benson, Merilyn Forbeck, Don Jewett, Darold Zwink, Marie Wineinger, Don Rock, and Peggy Hoffman.

Mem- bership is not limited to those enrolled in M. B. C, but to any Christian Veteran who will take an active part in the program of the League. The veterans are proud thal they who were once in the service of their country now have the op- portunity to be in service for their Lord. The C. V. L. is happy to have had a part in the promotion of the spiritual growth at M. B. C. and to farther assist in this growth it took as jts project for the year the designing, building and equipping of a prayer room which would be more conducive to prayer and meditation. This new room on the second floor adjacent to the office has been completed and is serving its intended purpose. The group also has sponsored several social meetings where fun and fellowship were enjoy- ed, for they realized that there must be a time for relaxation and entertainment also. The C. V. L, has as its purpose the exaltation of Christ among the war veterans, the promotion of fel- lowship and the carrying out of projects selected by the organization. The officers for 1948-49 were: Commander, Nelson King; Executive Officer, Eugene Mallett; Secretary-Treasurer, Orvan Géilstrap; Student Council Representative, Everett Keifer; Chap- lain, Harold Sears; Historian, Paul Eckstein; Sgt. at Arms, Jack Clough; Bugter, Wilbur White, Faculty Sponsor, Prof. Wilford Lown. —30-— Back Row: Martha Burtcn, Mary Keifer, Joyce Kittel, Virginia Albert, Guyla Briggs, Goldie Daniel, Bcnnie Briggs, Peggy Hoffman, Normaruth Jacobs, Arlene King, Margie Conger, Phyllis Sears, Frances Willis Second Row: Lois Randall, Jodie Klarquist, Vera Swearingin, Kathryn White, Mary Young, Lois Anderson, Vada Ruth Ward, Caro] Jane Cone, Freida Lindell, Mary Benson, Jean Cone, Ima Jean Kidd, Dorcas Bridge, Betty Jones First Row: Virginia Benton, Helen Bridwell, Estrell Mallett, Verla Lee Wertenberger, Virginia Schwarz, Mrs. T.

The Big and Little Sister plan was carried out again this year. Before schoo] began, each of the old members received the name and address of a new girl in school to whom they wrote letters of welcome and introduction. When school began, they helped their Little Sisters become acquainted with the college, its activi- ties, and the town of Manhattan, One of our projects this year is visiting the shut-ins on Sunday afternoon. This service has been greatly appreciated by those called upon. Another project is the buying of a table for the kitchen at the college. Mr. and Mrs. George Beckman of Japan, were chosen as our mis- sionaries for this year. The girls bring their fancy work, mending and other sewing and work on it during the meet- ings. Some of the program features have been: a talk given by Mary Gilstrap on her work as Youth Director and Church Secretary at Great Bend; Appreciation of Poetry; A talk given by Miss Hakes on her work as guidance supervisor at the Industrial Farm; helps for Daily Vaca- tion Bible School; and the Valentine meeting, “JT Married a Preacher.” Personal experiences were related by some of the minister's wives. Sundoulai also sponsored an assembly service. Officers serving this year are: President, Vir- ginia Schwarz; Vice-President, Estrell Mallett; Secretary-Treasurer, Helen Bridwell; Student Council Representative, Verla Lee Wertenberg- er; and Sponsor, Mrs. T.
