What Spring Arbor Means To Me Every year I looked forward to the time when A Cappella made its tour. It was marvelous and amazing, and O, how I wanted to sing it that group. Day in and day out I lived and prayed for the day when I could go to Spring Arbor, and rrnaliy the way opened for me to come. The school has become a part of my life and will hold a sacred spot in my memory. The first time I heard God mentioned in class it gave me a queer feeling. It is not uncommon to have prayer in a class recitation. The dorm strikes a spot in my heart that may seem strange to some. I really loved that old dorm. The happy, joyous experiences there cannot be numbered. New religious interests were opened up to me at Spring Arbor. There is opportunity to take part in public serv- ice, one gets practice in leading singing, in conducting devotions, and in appearing before a congregation. Dear Spring Arbor! May God bless her in the com- ing years. May others receive as much of a blessing and a benefit as I have received. -ELEANOR BEEGLE Spring Arbor has spelled opportunity for me. I have found opportunity for development in a physical, social, mental, and spiritual sense. I have found here a spirit of friendliness seldom to be duplicated. In the social realm the various functions serve splendidly to break the monotony of class routine. Opportunity is af- forded for the exercising of any talent a person might possess. The outstanding benefit is found in the splendid Christian atmosphere which permeates the entire realm of student life. Those of us who have attended our modern public institutions of higher learning know well the contrast one finds there. -FRANK BULLOCK The pious and learned instructors mould the student body and lead them on to better things in life. It is a wonderful value to young people of my age to be grouped in such an environment. For after all, educa- tion is merely culture, and no individual can possess culture in its broadest sense without also possessing reverence and duty toward God. -VIRGINIA SMITH Last night, after the last two unsaved girls in the dormitory had broken through to victory, and the dear, shabby hall had kindled into glory round Himj' one of the girls exclaimed, This year at Spring Arbor has meant more to me than all my other years together. Her eyes showed that she had just wept with those who wept, but her happy smile showed she rejoiced with them as well. I heard an echo to her exclamation as the girl to whom she was speaking quickly replied, Me, too. I have been encouraged to make much of my edu- cational privileges and attempt to repay my parents for the great sacrifice they are making for me. I believe Spring Arbor has enriched my life. Companionship with real Christians and clean-living young people make me more than ever want to make something of myself. EMARY LILLIAN KENNEDY To students who have gone to public schools it seems one grand relief to be where there is no swearing or stealing. I am glad for the wonderful influence which is around Spring Arbor. MVERNA HIBBARD Wheii I decided to come to Spring Arbor a year and a half ago, I probably made a decision that influenced my life. One does not appreciate Spring Arbor unless he has to attend a public school. The Christian faculty, the Christian student body, the wonderful singing, the dorm- itory life which is good for anyonefand the special in- terest the teachers take in the students-all these make Spring Arbor a place you will always remember. -RENOLD BRIGGS Spring Arbor has helped me much spiritually. I had gone to a public school all my life and had been some- what alone in my opinions as far as religion and moral standards were concerned. Here in Spring Arbor one can study, work, and play with those who do not ridicule one for reading the Bible or refusing to cheat in classes. -CATHERINE VANDER ROEST cz an
