r-l worm :aO-Zrnm The class of 1935 made its first appearance at N.C.B.I. on October 3, 1932. Sixty-eight students represented Minnesota, North and South Dakota, Montana, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Canada. Among them were preachers, teachers, singers, musicians, poets, a doctor, and a Deacon? Every effort was made to receive us into the family and to make us comfortable and happy. The girls were placed in homes, while the boys tried their hands at culinary arts in various bachelors, dens? On October 7 we were welcomed at a reception given by the Christ Ambassadors, thus becoming acquainted with the young people of the Church and with one another. After Christmas the Freshmen were entitled to representation on the Student Council, and so Lillian Flessing, Ada Blick, and Lloyd Jorgenson were chosen. In March we happily assisted the Juniors in entertaining the first graduating class at a banquet. How thrilled we were on May 17, 1933, to attend the pioneer graduating exercises! On September 25, 1933, thirty-eight of us returned to begin a second year. Some had spent their vacations in Minneapolis working; still others had been out in Gospel service. Soon the hrst Practical Work groups were organized to hold weekly meetings in the Missions of the city and to start Bible Study Classes in private houses. Weeks of special prayer proved a source of blessing, deepening our spiritual experience; several received calls to missionary helds, and many were baptized with the Holy Spirit. On April 14, 1934, our class sponsored a successful banquet for the Seniors. The theme Fellow- ship was carried out in the decorations, and the program was broadcast from a good ship,, similarly named. Our last year at N.C.B.I. began September 24, 1934. As our class was still unchanged in number, we remained in our old room, the Juniors moving to the balcony. Balloting for class officers resulted in the election of Lloyd Jorgenson as president, Rosalyn Olander as Vice- president, and Lillian Flessing as secretary. Powderhorn Park, two blocks from school, presented an ideal spot for the Senior skating party, and the annual school pic- nics. Additions to the School Library aided us in March to prepare for the Sermon Contest which determined the Commencement Day preachers. As we graduate on May 14, we leave our beloved alma mater determined to be Workers together with Him,1 in fields that are white unto harvest. r20...
