Page 18 Uur Senior Cloiss It seems like such a short time has passed since we registered as freshmen. VVe were welcomed into the school at a dinner by the faculty, Friday evening, September 22. We became acquaint- ed with our teachers when each gave a word of greeting. We can never forget the school's first Baccalaureate on Sunday, June 3, and the Commencement held in the Temple auditorium June 8. Four students graduated at this time. We returned full of anticipation in the fall of '45. Class officers were chosen for the first time. In our Junior class, Basil Bickel was elected Presidentg Lois Fensler, Vice-Presidentg and Angie Mandra, Secretary-Treasurer. One of the outstanding events of the year was the Junior-Senior Banquet at the 6lTOpper.!9 ' W ouldn't you like to meet each of the seniors? BASIL BICKEL, who took the Pastors' Course, is very talented in art work and chalk talks. BEATRICE M YERS took the Christian Education Course. The Lord is using her winning way with children in a special way in this phase of His work. HILDA HAGER registered for the Bible-Music Course. She is an excellent song leader and soloist. Who said the world has all the best musicians? BIIRIAM KLOPFENSTEIN majored in music. Miriam, who is known as the Paderewski of the school, is a talented pianist and song leader. Three seniors enrolled forthe Missiona.ry Course. ADA BICKEL has a desire to win the children to Christ. Ada really makes a story live for children. Yes, it was quite lonely for MARY SHADLE when she first entered the famous halls of TMTS, but one doesn't stay that Way long around here. Mary has a burden for souls, and we know the Lord will use her to His glory. ANGIE lVlANDRA came to the school from New York. The Lord led her to take the Missionary Course and because she loved to sing she took vocal lessons. Graduatim day is here -- a day we all look forward to with anticipation, yet with a feeling of sadness in leaving our school, teachers, and fellow students.

Page 20 Senior Prophecy Fort VV ayne, Indiana June 7, 1947 Dear Mom: Just thought I'd write and tell you while the moments pass away, of the dear old friends I chanced to meet, while I shopped in town today. I had just enjoyed a malted milk and was making plans to go, when a slim and graceful figure came up and said hello! Now I was fully taken back, as one could plainly see, so she said, 'Tm Mary Shadle. Don't you remember me? Well, mom, she finally had to leave, but we had a lovely talk and she told me all about her work at The Mission in New Yawkf' My heart was racing madly with pleasure and surprise when I met another dear old friend, and could scarce believe my eyes! Why, Hilda Hager! I exclaimed, How good you look, my dear! Oh, I feel fine, she quickly said, Hbut I'm heavier, I fear. And then she talked about her work-it was thrilling as could be-she's working with the colored folk midst the hills of Tennessee. I turned as Hilda waved good-bye but my head was in a whirl, and there stood Angie Mandra with a little dark-haired girl! It seems that Angie fell in love with the preacher Freddie Rooks. Now six dear youngsters bless their home and Angie scrubs and cooks. I could see that she was happy as she finally walked away, and I know that Fred is happy, too, for he's winning souls each day. . I turned to leave the store then, mom, for it was getting late, but Bea Myers chanced to come along, so I was glad to wait. Wedding bells will soon be ringing as two hearts beat loud with joy, and Bea will find real peace I know, with her southern boy. Well, I was finally on my way, had merely reached the door, when another dear old friend came by, so I stopped to chat once more. Miriam seemed so happy, her heart was light and gay, but ten long years in China had turned her gold hair grey. She told me she would soon return because her heart was there where 19 little orphans are dependent on her care. We said good-bye with blessings, then someone called my name. I turned to find the Bickels and they were just the same. I ga.ined the latest knowledge, pictures, magic, talks, paper kites and cameras, flannel-graphs and chalk, airplanes and bubble gum, and all the latest yarns. Ah, Basil's latest hobby, mom, is painting big red barns. ' Love, T. M. T. S.
