O' FOREWORD , . We have found through ftlie past few years that this truly is God's', training camp. There have been many battles hard to fight, but tlirougli each and every one of them God has been our ever-present help in time of trouble. We, the Classbf '58, have tried to apply ourselves to the training, and cooperate with those who were over us. We have been admonished to put on the whole armor of God. This armor includes several' pieces. We realize that we soon will be facing stronger foes on every hand, and that' we must be prepared forthe battles that will come to us when we get on the battleground of life. We must first have our loins girt with truth. This is the main thing for which We have been in training camp. During our stay here we have studied the Word of God from the Book of Genesis to Revelation, verse by Verse. The Lord has revealed to 'us nigfrom His Word. We thank God for the PRIVILEGES that have been ours whilesin the place of training. . .I . , - V 4 We hope as you, mg friends, look through the pages of this book that it will be a blessing to you to know that God still calls those who are will- ing to be obedient to Him. , ' it . ,l W May God'Bless You!

I Presidents Message REV. SIMEON 0. SMITH SEEK YE FIRST . . . . This command was given by our Lord and Master to His disciples. Those followers were normal men in their desires and ambitions. Seeking is the norm of life for every man, Woman and child. The thing for which one seeks is the determining factor that evaluates the character of the seeker. Class of '58 you have been diligent seekers-in your study, in the class- room, and best of all in the WORD of God. Do not permit the finishing of your Bible Course in this school to be the cause for you to settle on your laurels and thus stop that diligent seeking. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousnessg and all these things shall be added unto you.-Matt. 6:33.
