3 orewor J As the years pass by, the memories of school life at M. B. A. will grow fainter. The desire of the 1953-1954 MEMORIES staff is that as you look through the pages of this annual that these precious memories will return. MEADE BIBLE ACADEMY Meade, Kans. To the memory of Arlen Zielke, who left us to be with the Lord, we dedicate the M. B. A. Memories of 19 54 to him. I thank Thee Lord for caring for me, Giving me love and setting me free. I thank Thee Lord for thy Holy Son Who died on Calvary for everyone. I thank Thee Lord for answering prayer, Keeping me daily in thy tender care. I thank Thee Lord for all thou hast done, Thanking Thee ever for thy Holy Son. I thank Thee Lord for Mom and Dad The best Christian parents a kid could have. I thank Thee Lord for all they have done In helping me find Thy Heavenly Son. ---Arlen Zielke--- 2 I JOHN L. EWERT Principal Rud.
