There is no people, Greek or Barbarian, or any other race, by whatsoever appellation or manner they may be distinguished, however ignorant of art and agriculture, whether they dwell in tents or wander about in covered wagons, among whom prayers and thanksgiving are not offered, in the name of the crucified Jesus, to the Father and creator of all things. ' Yes, Stephen, Augustine, Luther, Wesley and'many others have carried the gospel to all parts of the world . There have been martyrs, there have been heroes and there have been failures - but the word of God has unltimately been propagated victoriously. During the past three or four years, the message of the Lord has been heralded in various places by members of our graduating class. Many services were held in iails and in nursing homes - street corners have listened silentlyas we have repeated Christ's words. Though we are leaving school we do not want to forsake the preaching of God's Word - now and forever we are WORDBEARERS . Paul has given a charge that cannot be misinterpreted: Holding forth the word of life, that I may reioice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain .

For this reason it is important and effective in the preaching oi the Gospel. O.B.C. is fortunate to have as Musical Director, Mrs. C. R . Archer, under whose direction many fine groups have been organized. One of the newest members of the musical department is the Men's Chorus . They have made many appear- ances throughout the State and have sung for Youth for Christ and over TV. We have a splendid School Chorus and several groups as those pictured here . Among other groups are the Gos- pelaires Quartet, who traveled on a Mid -west Tour last summer, vocal trios, duets, solos, ancl brass ensembles.

This group of Fellows organized a team, appropriately named it the Kollege Kernals and entered the Senior Church League here in Des Moines. We are extremelyproud of the fine record they have attained this first year in organized athletics. Charles E. Bechtel served as coach and Paul Mitchell was team manager. This athletic competition affords an outlet for excess physical energy and teaches aggressiveness, cooperation and fair play. 35 . .742 CON, 7 ll eI'0l'5 .!4l'lC! xyefeg SAQ OKC n cfion SCHEDULE 51 Our Savior Lutheran 36 Calvary Baptist 34 Easton Place Methodist 43 R .
