Ithra-u: .5 PRESENTED BY' SENIOR CLASS NORTH CENTRAL BIBLE INSTITUTE MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA THE NORT THE ANNUAL PUBLICATION OF THE STUDENT BODY OF NORTH CENTRAL BIBLE INSTITUTE MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA ?cdicated t0 REV. AND MRS. FRANK J. LINDQUIST The archives of time reveal that God has placed men and women of stalwart individualism in places of respon- sibility. The fulfillment of God,s program necessitates the employment of the Wise and willing-hearted, Who recognize the need and endeavor to assist. Our President and his wife possess these qualities. As a promoter of a high standard of consistent living and a possessor of a vast reservoir of knowledge, Rev. Lindquist, the founder and president of our school, has stood as a bulwark of faith to make our school the Full-Gospel institute it is today. Since the organization of North Central Bible Institute, Mrs. Lindquisfs capable assistance and untiring efforts have had an effective influence on the development of the school. Those who have known her will always remember her congenial personality. Their spirit-filled lives have been a source of inspiration to many to seek a deeper experience in Christ. To Rev. and Mrs. Frank J. Lindquist we gratefully dedicate the 1955 ARCHIVE. ' 7930 Jifimriml Sketch Because eminent men of God realized the importance of providing in the heart of the North a Christian training school, North Central Bible Institute was opened for the teaching of Gods word in the fall of 1930. The schools first home was in the then newly erected Minneapolis Gospel Taber- nacle. F rom all walks of life, twenty-six young people came to form the 'pioneer class of the school. The girls were placed in homes where they . could work for their board and room, and the boys were located by the dean of men in rooms or apartments near the school. Among these twenty- six students was one of the present faculty members, Rev. Earl B. Adamson, who was elected as the Student Council president, at the first organization of the class. In the fall of 1931, twenty-two students of the foundation class returned. It was on October 30th of that year that the school orchestra was begun with twelve members; on March 14, 1932, the first number of the school paper, The North Centralicm, was issued. When the school opened for the third year, eight boys and eleven girls came back to enroll and to graduate. The Junior Class numbered about twenty-five and the Freshman Class began with seventy-two members, making the total enrollment one hundred and fifteen students with eight instructors. The second year graduating class, that of 1934, had twenty- five graduates; in 1935 the number of graduates had increased to 39, and in 1948 after continual growth a record enrollment of 397 was reached. With Frank R. Griepp as editor, the first ARCHIVE was presented by the foundation class on May 5, 1933. iiStudy to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth? II Timothy 2:15. In keeping this commandment, North Central Bible Institute began evening classes, held on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings to accommodate those who could not come during the day. At the first closing exercises, eighty men and women received certificates of attendance; sixty-five received certificates of promotion at the second closing exercises. And at the first commencement exercise on May 16, 1933, about fifty students received certificates of attendance. The vision of the officials and directors of N orth Central Bible Institute scanned larger horizons, and in 1937 the new home at 900 Elliot Avenue South was purchased from the Asbury Hospital. The hospital had been completed in 1916 and in 1921 the United States Government had taken over the building for a Veterans, Hospital, vacating it again in 1928. After 1930 it remained vacant with the exception of the south wing, which was retained as a Nurses, home, until the old North Central District purchased the building in 1937. Today it stands as a fine training school for the Christian ministry. iiNot to be ministered unto but to minister? is the motto inscribed in stone above the entrance. Christian young men and women who have gathered in the institute year after year have attempted with the Lords help to keep this motto. The Seniors in 1938 had their new class room on the second floor, the Juniors were on the third floor, and the F reshmen met in the chapel. On May 16, 1938, the North Central Business College was organized to give young people efficient business training in a Christian atmosphere. Courses in accounting, bookkeeping, shorthand, typing, penmanship, and other commercial subjects were offered. Starting in the fall of 1946 and con- tinuing for two years, North Central Bible Institute also had an additional year of studies added to its curriculum. The Alumni Association was organized in 1934 to promote fellowship among the graduates and to encourage them in their ministry for the Lord. The association holds its banquet at commencement time to receive the graduating senior class into its ranks. The North Centralian is the official news organ of the association. Ever since its opening, North Central Bible Institute has been a missionary-minded school. The particular program for the first group was that every day at noon at half hour was set aside for this activity; 15 minutes were spent in discussing the needs of the fields and the remainder of the time for praying. The school was divided into six groups, each representing a different country. In 1933 the six countries represented were Africa, China, South America, Russia, India, and the Homeland. A part of Friday afternoon was spent studying specific countries, their geography, customs, problems, and needs. In the fall of 1933, the Palestine Band was added to the group, and additional bands have been added until at the present time there are eleven bands. Today North Central has fifty-four alumni who are serving on the foreign field. Christian service has been one of the most essential elements in the curriculum of North Central Bible Institute. When students acquire some- thing new or discover a better method of doing things, this department offers a chance to put it into practice. By 1933 work had been begun in five missions, eleven Bible classes had been started in private homes, and a regular visitation program to city hospitals, testifying and singing for the sick and shut-ins, had been started. The school held its first regular service in Glad Tidings Chapel on Sunday afternoon, February 2, 1936. This was the schools own mission chapel, located on Nicollet Avenue, a half block south of Lake Street. Students had full charge of services con- ducted there on Sunday afternoons and evenings. The Holy Spirit blessed by effective and genuine anointing. This department has grown until North Central Bible Institute is now the nucleus of over fifty Christian service stations for a radius of one hundred miles. Another phase of this department is the spreading of the Gospel by Christian literature. In 1935 North Central Bible Institute was operating its own printing shop in Minneapolis. The shop was established in April of 1932 and was located in Saint Paul Gospel Tabernacle but was moved to Minneapolis and established in a separate building two blocks from the school. Its presses turned out the district paper, and the ordinary printing for the school. It was later moved to the present building. To the Christian, music is a phase of worship, a means of adoration and praise, and an expression of love and devotion. As such it is given a very prominent place in the activities and services conducted at North Central Bible Institute. The orchestra and choir were organized the first year, offering musical support not only to the evening meetings but to the morning chapel services as well. This department has developed through the years, and musical instruction has had a place of prominence in the curriculum. To provide extra-curricular activities for those especially interested in music, different ensembles have been formed. These smaller musical units give opportunity for playing and singing in various churches throughout the Twin Cities. The Students, Script originated in the class of 1948 for the purpose of acquainting the student body with the news of each class. The name was changed at this time from The North Centralian to the Students, Script and was printed weekly by the junior class. By 1944 it was known as The Scroll and was a bi-monthly publication. In 1946 it was given its present name, The Archette. Feeling the need of relaxation from the daily routine, even the early classes waited for that final bell to ring at noon on Friday. Friday after- noons were a time of Christian fellowship for the students. They enjoyed lunches and a program of vocal and instrumental specials during this time of fellowhsip. The remainder of the afternoon would be spent in group singing, playing the piano, visiting, shopping, and playing games. One of the high-lights in the fall social activities of the first classes of North Central Bible Institute was the Thanksgiving Fellowship Dinner. Tables spread with a bountiful dinner and songs of praise made it a feast of things spiritual as well as material. The first graduating class was honored by a banquet prepared by the juniors and freshmen in March of 1933, and this Senior Banquet has become a traditional social event. The school picnic has been the traditional climax of social events for North Central Bible Institute. Many have left North Central Bible Institute to serve the Lord in various avenues of Christian endeavor. We give thanks unto God for the vision of the Board of Directors, the Faculty, and the many friends of North Central Bible Institute who have united their efforts in this great cause. s 3716 Archiw 5taff John Walker Editor Ella Mae Sichterman Ruth Schmalz Co-Literary - Business Co-Literary Ray Trask .

The envy of underclassmen; the pride of home assemblies; this class holds a distinctive place in the school and in the hearts of loving friends. Great respon- sibility rests upon these graduates as thonquerers Through Christ? As they step out into God,s harvest field, these seniors have a place to fill and a job to do which must be charac- terized and accomplished by complete faith in Him who is conqueror in all things. 30 MELVIN WILKES Vice-President VI r G .1.- e r.

Filled with love for the Lord and a zeal incomparable, this group of students entered North Central Bible Institute at the beginning of the second semester this year. Because of their expression of complete faith in God and an earnest desire to answer His call for service, they have been an inspiration to the entire student b dy.

In 190 B.C., it was discovered that animal skins could be used for this purpose. Asiatic peoples had used animal skins for containing manuscripts as far back as the 3rd century BC. CC st sitteth 1.2 DEVELOPING THE Assembly of god YOUTH . . . is the comprehensive aim of North Central Bible Institute. The school provides a curriculum which promotes a thorough knowledge of the Word of God in order that the lives of the youth who enter may conform to Bible standards and be gov- erned by a supreme devotion to the interest of Gods kingdom. Through classroom studies, the chapel hours, and the Christian service and missionary activities, it. is the purpose of North Central Bible Institute to develop students who after the com- pletion of their courses emerge thinking, devout individuals who understand their faith and faithfully live their lives as children of God. 93 A bell at 9:20 announces chapel! Even as quiet time is essential to the spiritual vitality of the students, so the chapel hour is an integral part of our day. God has graciously poured out of His Spirit numerous times as students and faculty together have waited before Him in His divine presence. Even in song, we as students have found a way to express our love for Christ, which otherwise would be difficult to portray in words of our own choosing. Through His servant, our beloved chapel pastor, God has unfolded to us many spiritual treasures. As Brother Jones has from time to time poured his heart, soul and strength into his sermons, our lives have been en- riched by the mighty truths of the Holy Scriptures. Chapel . . . . its value is priceless, its benefits immeasureable. Praying Singing Student Participation 94 In addition to faculty and student speakers, we have enjoyed the ministry of Visiting min- isters, missionaries and Christian workers. F mm the dark continent of Africa, from Australia, Indonesia, Canada and various parts of the United States, our speakers have brought but one message . . . . the story of Jesus Christ, which being old is yet ever new to the child of God. Rev. 8. J. Scott Rev. John Strand Sven Biork It has been our privilege to have heard such superb musical talent as possessed by our Swedish guest, Sven Bjork; we have seen the wonders of Gods handiwork as captured at the hand of an artist; our vision has been renewed as a result of having heard from the lips of missionaries the need on foreign fields, and our hearts have burned within us as other ministers have expounded to us the Word of God. Mrs. S. J. Scott 95 Kkristiaa 562mg In Minneapolis and nearby towns, there is no necessity for anyone to lose his soul through ignorance. Hundreds of churches ,spend thousands of dollars to reach the people with the gospel. A number of these churches are fundamental, willing and ready to show the way of salvation. North Central Bible Institute students enjoy ministering in various full gospel churches from week to week, and in this way they receive much practical experience in Christian service. In some cases, a student from our school is the pastor of one or another of these churches. ' The claims of Christ are also being presented on radio - K . broadcasts and through television channels. Many of our students . . . have regularly sung on television this year and have proved Rev' A'V'd K' 9 er themselves a blessing to others. D' t f Ch ' t' S ' . . . ec ore 5 Ian emce In addltlon, thousands of gospel tracts have been dls- tributed by over 300 students in their places of employment, on the streets and various other places where men and women need to hear and to know about Christ. These and other Christian service activities have not only provided valuable experience, but they have been the avenues through which many precious souls have .been led to find salvation through acceptance of the Lord Jesus Christ. Student Pastors Dale Barton William Benson Robert Hanson Lawrence Mather Rudy SPeiCh Harland Upton 96 VWWLg. With a vision for missions, the girls of the Young Woments Missionary Council lend willing hands to work for the Master. These girls have devoted their time to making clothes, toys, quilts and other articles to be used by missionaries both in the homeland and on foreign fields. At Christmas time, missionary boxes were sent to ministers who are pioneering in churches throughout Minnesota. Officers of this organization include the following: Irene Wykes, President; Marjorie Loven, Vice President; LaVerne Jensen, Secretary; and Beverly Cuenther, Treasurer. Miss Soltau is advisor. Irene Wykes President 97 98 Quid ,, ttAnd Noah builded an altar unto the LORD . . . Precious in our hearts and minds lie the memories of those times when we have ttbuilded an altar unto the LORD? QUIET TIME - a time for medi- tation and for communion with the Master. These are the times of sweet and blessed fellowship with Him to whom our hearts cry out in praise and adoration. time Students at North Central Bible Institute realize that guidance and power can be obtained only through personal daily contact with Him whose name is above every name . . . by seeking His face with diligence and perseverence. Essential? Yes, QUIET TIME is more essential than any of the natural elements necessary for providing a healthy physical body. QUIET TIME is that portion of the day which we as students set aside for the purpose of maintaining a healthy soul! 99 100 GUTENBERG BIBLE Often referred to as the Mazartn Bible be- cause the first copy described was found in the library of Cardinal Mazarin, the Guten- berg Bible or Latin Bible was first printed between 1450-1455 AD. The Gutenberg Bible was a folio. of 1282 printed pages, in two columns with spaces left for illuminated initials. Each page contained 42 printed lines, consequently it is often called the 42 line Bible. 101 Esther Selness Director of Music Department Lawrence B.
