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.
