Not pictured: Geraldine Shank As we think back on some of the high points of the year we remember how stiff and sore we were from picking up walnuts. Our class didn't take honors for picking up the most but neither were we last. It was a privil- ege to get together as a class and pray for the school revivals. We well remember the time we were able to witness by handing out tracts in the city of Salem. The 8 boys and 10 girls in our class are all Oregonians except two. Marilyn Steckly is from Carstairs, Alberta, Canada, and Clarene Kropf is from Sacramento, California. Our sponsor, Sister Mildred Eichelberger will soon be in Brazil, We each want to remember her in prayer as she enters the field of service to lost souls in Brazil. Clarene Kropf

Ne have found real fellowship with one another, and many good friends in the Freshman class. All of us have learned to know the Lord better since we have been here. We elected our class officers at the first of the year. Our president is Delbert Snyder, vice-president is Perry Yoder, and secretary - treasurer is Eunice Schrock. We feel they each served their office as a real officer should. We also feel our sponsor, Brother Lind, did his part in helping us along in our Christian lives. At the beginning of the year Carol Hostetler found it necessary to leave our class. Even though she was here only a short time, we learned to ap- preciate her contribution. Our class is not the largest this year, but we are hoping it will grow and we are looking forward to having more wonderful times in the coming year. lary Ellen Bucher

We, the Junior class are happy that we can serve the Lord in our work and studies at western Mennonite School this year. We miss the boys from Lousiana this year but we still have some students from a distance. They are from Canada. It seems that the girls are in the majority this year but we boys can still hold our own against them. he are under good leadership this year with Brother Showalter as our sponsor. We are still the largest class in school but not by a very large margin. We have the privilege of working together each month in publishing the Western Breezes, our school paper. we are looking forward to the time when we will be Seniors. We will remember the time we were invited to Brother Showalter's place for a little while to see the new addition to the family, Roger Lynn. We gave the Showaltcrs a scenery picture as a gift from the class. During the Fall Revivals we as a class met in prayer for the reviv- als and also gave testimonies about our wonderful Lord. he also had a soc- ial last fall to which we could each invite a person outside the class. We had it in a supposedly haunted house which added greatly to the fun. Our prayer is that as we study and shoulder responsibilities given us that we might do it for Godfs glory and praise. We hope that these things we learn now will prepare us for a lifetime in His service. Marvin Kauffman
