MR. FRANK KROEKER Morris, Man. General Bible In spite of his numerous church duties, Frank keeps up his Greek assignments. His exemplary life is an incentive to all in our class. VALEDICTORY Graduation! - Obviously, the word spells “a goal,” “a destination,” or “an objective” reached by many of us. To others it is another milestone in further preparation for the Master ' s Service. But, to all of us, as a 1961 graduating class, the thought of farewell and departure looms highest in our minds at this time. However, before we depart, we must stop to reminisce on some of the enriching experiences we have had here, and at the same time express ,our deepest gratitude to those who have made it possible for us to attend this institute. Foremost in our minds are the parents, the Christian friends, the home church, and the Board of Directors who have contributed to make this a possibility. May both, temporal and eternal bless¬ ings be your reward. Our sincere thanks to the instructors, who through their prayers and constant influence have shown a deep concern for our spiritual welfare, and through whom God has also revealed many new truths to us. We are also grateful for the new Christian friends whom, we have learned to know and to love. Their fellowship was an incentive to us which shall never be forgotten. Above all, we thank God for His personal pre¬ sence in our prayer groups, and for the victories He granted to us in days of prayer and fasting. Truly we have been with the Lord. It is, however, not only with feelings of gratitude and delight that we recall these experiences, but there is also a feeling of regret for the time and opportu¬ nities we did not fully utilize. Let this therefore be a challenge to you as under-graduates--that you redeem every moment of your life of which you are yet to spend in this institute. “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as unto the Lord.” “Finally, brethern, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.” II Cor. 13:11 Frank P. Kroeker MELVIN PENNER Steinbach, Man.
