L. to r. — Betty Thiessen, Sadie Dueck, Leona Loewen, Helen Enns, Dorothy Rempel, Katie H. Enns, Tina Konrad, Katie Enns, Katie Froese (standing). With spring the time is drawing closer when we will have to part. We have come to feel like sisters and will certainly miss each other’s company in summer. Living to¬ gether we have learned to know each other and understand each other far better than we ever could have in school. We have also shared many precious hours of fellowship in our evening devotions. With nine girls in the four rooms you can imagine that it is as busy as a beehive from early morning till eleven when the lights are supposed to be out. The typical day at the dormitory begins at 6:30 for the Enns girls who eat breakfast at the College. By the time they are back from breakfast some others may be awake. They tot¬ ter around in various stages of sleepiness and make resolutions to go to bed earlier next night. There is the smell of burning toast and we all know Katie is having breakfast. By now most of the rooms are the scene of mad last-minute preparations. Amid the scramble an alarm clock suddenly rings. Somebody has really been catching up on beauty sleep. By ten to nine, however, the dormitory is quiet again. At four o’clock, exhausted from a day’s work, we drag our heavy feet upstairs. When we come up, though, somehow our weariness vanishes and we all gather in one room, dis¬ cussing the day’s events. Around five there is a scramble for the kitchen and we start pre¬ paring supper. The diminutive kitchens can hardly hold the active preparations. At seven o’clock we settle down for a few hours of hard concentration on our homework. There is one event which must be mention¬ ed — the installation of the telephone. What excitement that aroused! At first it was such a novelty that we phoned up our friends almost every day. This year at the dormitory has been an eventful and happy one and I am sure we will all look back to it with pleasure. Dorothy Rempel. 43

Efeutscl) und Religion “Und Jesus nahm zu an Weisheit, Alter und Gnade, bei Gott und den Menschen.” Lukas 2, 52. Um zu einer abgerundeten Personlichkeit hinanzuwachsen, muB der Mensch nach vier Seiten hin zunehmen: geistlich, geistig, gesellschaftlich und physisch. Dieser Vers spricht von dem Herrn Jesus, daB er nach diesen vier Seiten hin zunahm. Wenn wir heute auf die vielen Schulen schauen, die da den jungen Men¬ schen Bildung bieten, so merken wir, daB bei nur zu vielen eine oder die andre dieser Seiten der Ausbildung vernachlassigt wird. Das Resultat kann dann nur eine sehr einseitige Personlichkeit sein. Darum sollten die Schuler einer Schule, wie sie hier zu finden ist, sehr dankbar sein fur die Gelegenheit, die ihnen hier geboten wird, eine allseitige Bildung sich zu erwerben. Vor einiger Zeit war ich in einem Museum in Chicago. Mich interessierten besonders die verschiedenen Modelle der Autos der vergangenen Jahrzehnte, an denen man die Entwicklungsgeschichte des modernen Autos ablesen konnte. Die groBte Veranderung war wohl an den Radern wahrzunehmen. Am Anfange hatte man sehr groBe Rader mit schmalen harten Reifen. Dann machte man das Rad kleiner und legte schmale Gummireifen, mit Luft angefiillt, auf. Mit den Jahren ging die Veranderung noch wieder weiter. Die Rader wurden noch wieder kleiner und man legte “balloon”-Reifen auf. Und heute hat man am modernen Auto ganz kleine Rader und schwere Gummireifen. Sollte man heute nun ein Auto nehmen und dann dieses mit Radern aus den verschiedenen Stadien der Ent- wicklung versehen, so wiirde sich uns nicht nur ein sehr sonderbares Bild zeigen, sondern das Auto wiirde auch ganzlich unbrauchbar sein. Dieses Beispiel illustriert schon, was mit einem jungen Menschen geschehen kann, wenn er nicht nach alien Seiten seinem Wesen entsprechend ausgebildet wird. Und zwar muB diese Bildung mit der Zeit Schritt halten, so daB der junge Mensch sich in seiner Umgebung nicht fremd fiihlt. Darum, Schuler dieser Schule, trachtet mit allem Eifer darnach euch vollstandig zu entwickeln, dem Wissen nach, dem Leibe nach, und eurem gesellschaftlichen Wesen nach. Vor allem aber sehet zu, daB ihr euch geistliche Giiter fur eure Seele aneignet, denn “Was hiilfe es dem Menschen, wenn er die ganze Welt gewonne und nahme an seiner Seele Schaden.” (Freie Wiedergabe einer Morgenandacht, gehaltei A. Metzler, Prediger der Altmennoniten.) 45
