There have been projects finished and new ones started. We have seen new build- ings go up, such as the new administraticlan build- ing. The new buildings and the progress have been gladly accepted, but we also are glad for the building of Christian lives of young pepple and the progress shown in their daily life. The effects ol a Christian high school will be seen upon these young people as they progress from year to year. X 2 l ' w DEDICATION To Brother Clayton Swartzentruber, who dedi- cated four years of his life to leading and direct- ing the young people of this school We sincerely dedicate this book. Fun-loving, but still a devot- ed and serious leader, he has seared his memory on our hearts. We thank him for the many tan- gible and intangible things he imparted to this institution of learning, and we pray that God may richly bless him wherever he may serve in the days ahead.

We have considered many ideasg used some and discarded others. Week ends have been spent assembling the yearbook, deadlines were met during the ueleventhn hour, and the editors have had headaches and sleepless nights over this book you are now looking through. We. the annual staff, have enjoyed the privi- lege of working on the Pioneer. This experience has been valuable to us. v lx Thzs page sponsored by . . . VERLE E.

He knew that his First disciples needed divine help. Peter knew after his experience of denial that lip loyalty would not stand the test. We, too, have learned the need of divine power to overcome. The fact of Iesusl death and resurrection is a source of positive proof. To know that Iesus died for us compels every true disciple to gladly and willingly live for Him, Iesus is God's great gift for our redemption. Through Him we have forgive- ness of sin. The Holy Spirit is Iesusi gift to us. Before we face life and men, He calls Us to wait and receive His gift. With the Holy Spirit in our hearts there can be no failure. He will teach you from the Word of God. He will guide you in the way of truth. He will lead you in the walk of life. He will comfort and con- sole you in trouble. He will endue you with power to witness and have victory in temptation. Training alone is not sufficient. You must know the power of the Divine Presence. If you are willing to dedicate your life to the Lord and follow the lead- ing of the Holy Spirit, success, victory and inheritance are all yours. May you, as Seniors, go forth in the Power of His might, living, serving, and waiting the Lord,s return. Sincerely, Ramer This page Sponsored by . .

His former classmate Merlin Schweitzer, just home from one year of in- ternship, performed the operation. Esther Schultz, specializing in surgery, very eapably assisted Dr. Schweitzer. Mr. Miller says he doesn't intend to let the loss of his leg interfere with his work for the Lord. The doctor believes that he will soon be able to get along with his wooden leg and continue his effective ministry. WAITER SUES HOTEL MANAGER The Nest,', a new hotel under management of Donovan and Berdella Roth, is being sued S4000 by a waiter, Melvin Bitikofer, who fell on its slick Hoor and suHered minor injuries including a brok- en arm. Mrs. Roth now sprinkles Ajax on the Hoors to prevent a more serious accident. She and Don are both washing dishes to pay off the S4000 debt. BETTY CROCKER SUCCUMBS Famous Home Economist Betty Crocker died last week at her home in Illinois. Her successor, janice Birky as we knew her, has accepted a con- tract with General Mills for an indefinite period of time. jan has really given the world of home economists a few things to think about. She has quite a few modern ideas that she is trying to get worked out, although at present they are rather vague. MISSIONARY LEAVES FOR BRAZIL Miss Clarene Kropf, graduate of Western in '57 and former secretary to the Mennonite Hour, is leaving her job to prepare for missionary work in Brazil. Her college work at E.M.C. will be a real asset to her in her work as a teacher to these people who have never heard the good news of the Gospel. EDITORIAL Speculation has sent the future onion prices in- to extreme spurts and plunges ...... Tommy Hershberger. 30 1975 MAN WEIGHS 350 POUNDS Mr. Warde Hershberger with the aid of his wife Pat has lost Hfty pounds in the last four months. Pat makes certain that the refrigerator is locked at all times. Warde seems to have a partiality to crackers and his wife sets the limit at two per meal. Last week the new superintendent and matron Cin the person of Mr. and Mrs. Dave Rothj took charge of the Old People's Home at Albany. They appear to have become quite attached to some of those old people. COr was it to each other?j After graduating from Western in '55, Dave served his l-W service at the Home, and Letha was kept busy during the summer months and on week- ends during her last year of schooling. They seem to be taking real pleasure in serving others and have really endeared themselves to the elder- ly people among whom they work. PRICELESS PAINTING TO BE UNVEILED World known painter, Ellen Craft, will make a personal appearance for the unveiling of her latest picture, Memories.', This ceremony will take place in the Art Museum at New York. Miss Craft will be available afterwards for interviews and autographs. Miss Rothis latest book, Acres and Acres, is'ra- pidly gaining recognition among the younger set. This story, set in midwestern United States, pre- sents the challenge that came to numbers of teen- agers who were at first living for self alone. Af- ter seeing and hearing about the vastness of the great 'gharvest field and the need for workers who were truly consecrated to God, these young people prepared themselves for active Christian service and were real testimonies to those about them. Miss Roth says that incidents in the book, although some are incredible, are taken from real life activity. The book is written to the teenage group in an effort to show them the opportunities that await them in Christian service. PROPHECY Hitch your rocket to a star, Sit real tight and there you aref' Ioe Eichelbcrger set a new record in fiying to the moon. Ioe has always dreamed of flying, but not quite so fast. Mr. Eichelberger is the only man in the United States known to re- tire at such a young age. After graduation from NfVcstern Mennonite School in '57, Verdella Fahnrich started her career working as the cleaning woman at the Kansas City Children's Home. As a reward for her dili- gent and thorough ellforts, Miss Fahnrich has been promoted to head cook. Bill and Darlene lantzi report the most prosper- ous year on their farm that they've ever experi- enced. They have twin calves, triplet sheep, bum- per crops and their pet dog has a litter of fourteen pups. Darlene's three little daughters are very eager to help her with the work and Bill is an- xiously awaiting the time when his two-month old twin sons will assist him in his business activities. As a result of the quick action of our local tele- phone operator, Ruby Lind, a fire which had start- ed in the most dense area of the city was conquer- ed before much damage was done. We, asa news- paper, wish to commend Miss Lind for her alert- ness and willingness to help. Rosalie tRizj White, of Portland, Oregon, is the first mother to have won all the events in the decathlon. Her three children are quite proud of her and are vitally interested in sports of all kinds. Riz is intending to score again in next year's Olympics. Daniel Nisly, a local man. gains recognition for introducing' a new rye-grass to the farmers. Mr. Nisly is noted for being the most successful rye- grass farmer in the Valley, His 2000 acres of waving green grass, blending with the horizon, make a picture that can really be appreciated by those who have an eye for beauty. ft ff Miss Gerri Lou Shank thrilled the hearts of l000 people last night as she sang that old famil- iar song, Old Shep, at the inaugural dinner of President Allen Lind. This was the Presidenfs favorite song during his boyhood days. Ioanne CRamerj Lind, the First Lady, was heard to re- mark to our new president, Miss Shank still has that ability to put herself into her songs. Her singing tonight was much more touching than when she sang at the first Vesperian Literary pro- gram during l956.' Mr. Lind heartily agreed with his wife in this. MAN SETS NEW OLYMPIC RECORD Mr. Robert West of Sweet Home, Oregon, has set an all-time record in pole vaulting. He was one of the few privileged sportsmen to qualify for the the Olympics. His final jump amounted to 30 feet 626 inches. After being married three days, Mr. and Mrs. Larry Landis are having a terrible time trying to find a car suitable to their budget. But where there's a will there's a way. Larry and Donna would much prefer Driving instead of thumbing their way on their honeymoon. LAUGH TIME i - , 1 , X. . V E A ,awk r Rf, .W , .

CLASS SONG Meeting Life's Challenge With Christ I. II. III. Cho We were without chart or compass Had no map to guide our feet, When the Saviouris voice came to us In clear tones so soft and sweet, Saying, If you'll only trust me I will guide you in the wayg And you'll Find that youill be happy Always - every passing dayf' Then we started out to follow In the way that He had planned. Though we often were discouraged, We were led by His dear hand. And we found that if weld ask Him He would give us courage new To be faithful in the battleg To be loyal, just, and true. Now we're following our leader Knowing not what lies ahead But we know that we can trust Him. By His faithful voice we're led To the place where He would have us Serve Him till our lives are o'er. And we'll meet again in Heaven, On that bright and golden shore. l'USi We're meeting the challenge of living with Christ by our side. Weire meeting the challenge of having Him with us abide. Where ever our place of service may bc. Right here on the homeland or-over the sea Wcire meeting life's challenge with Christ by our side. Sponsored by .....

The fourth stone has been laid in the loundation of our successful student organization. Also this is the First year that the mem- bership is non-compulsory. The student didn't have to join, but we are glad that every one of the stu- dents did join. This tended to unite the students, and we have had many profitable and enjoyable times as we associated together this year as one big family. Through the work of the various committees we have had a very Well balanced schedule of extra-curricular activities. The Extension, Chapel, and Re- ligious Welfare Committees have been the source of much spiritual strengthening and encouragement. It is the responsibility of these committees to organize the religious activities of the campus. The Social and Athletic committees have given us excellent opportunity for recreation and diversion from our studies. The Student Council meets every Monday evening. lt is in these meetings that the 16 members. to- gether with our sponsor, Bro. Lind, discuss the matters that concern the student body and consider Ways to improve our life here at school. l feel sure that the Lord has blessed and will continue to bless the work of the Student Council as it works toward the improvement of Western for the glory of God.

It certainly is! lust what is the purpose of a literaryg how ean it help students that are members of it? Members of a literary profit in a number of ways. Belonging to a literary is a learning experience. ln it we learn to speak in public and to express our- selvesg we learn to eo-operate with othersg we learn to take part when asked tog we gain information from what others give. Our literary programs this year have been varied. We have had some fine secular and religious pro- grams. Some of the highlights have been - a debate between the King Creek and Vesperian literaries, a radio program by one literary, as well as several soeials. We have had impromptu programs, religious programs, programs on literary works, and serious as well as humorous programs. A part enjoyed by all was the volleyball games that we had between the different literaries. All in all, we as literary societies of Western have had some very enjoyable and helpful experiences this year. 57 2' AREMAC CLUB fleft to rightj First row - Clifford Lind, Sponsorg Ruby Lind, Iewel Garber, Dorothy Gingcrich Esther Schultz, Darlene Widmer, Berdella Miller Second row - Merle Bitikofer, Clifford Beckler, Dick Headings, Kenneth Lind, Melvin Bitikofer, Doreen Ramer, Donna Nafziger, Letha Ropp, Ruth Hofer. x We, the members of the Aremac Club, enjoyed many interesting meetings with our sponsor, Cliff Lind.

H1 China City Bernard Showalter THE SENIOR CLASS When Western first saw our class in its 'Khalls of learning, we were as bashiul as any freshman class is. Although we were only greenies,', we still had all the vim, vigor and vitality needed to keep the twenty-three of us going. Dur Sophomore years found us with eighteen students acting out the role of the upper low er classmen. Our class was more active this year and had a number of swell times. Who will ever forget the aching backs that resulted from picking up walnuts? Our class also had the privilege of passing out tracts in Salem. One of the important events of the year was a surprise social lor Mildred Eichelberger, our sponsor, We certainly appreciated Sister Mildred's help to our class during our Freshman and Sophomore years. This is the year our class showed our spirit by winning the track meet--by a large margin. Many were the experiences of our junior year. Most of our work at the latter part of the year was the preparation for the Iunior-Senior Dinner. With the theme Down Deep in the Seaf' we really had to dig deep lor some of our ideas. Those committee meetings were really times of hard work, but we were well rewarded! for our eflorts by the response of the Seniors. Our class was almost back to the number we began with by having twenty-three persons, including our spon- sor, Paul Bender. Now we are Seniors - those high and mighty students we were so scared of when We were Freshmen. We're supposed to act dignified even if we do forget sometimes. But who can act dignified if they're dripping wet, as some of our group were during our Sneak. As we think-back over this year, we find our activities too numerous to elaborate upon. Our fake sneakw and then the real one were really enjoyed by everyone. Class meetings, snack shop sessions, parties, excursions to town, a trip for winning the Breezes - Annual Drive, and the social given to us by our sponsor and his wife are events that will long be remembered. There are many memories connected with the Iunior-Senior Dinner, where we were the guests. Then those last days before graduation. With all the hurrying around, we still found time to enjoy ourselves. Bob and Emily proved to be very capable sponsors. We are certainly grateful for their contribution to our class. As we, the Seniors of '57, go out in life, our desire is to do our best for the One who gave His all for us. Our memories of Western will stay with us a long time and will be an inspiration in our lives. 72 G4 ' .Ar r V N' s.. V V, , TQ. ,L F -4 1 1 I A , SE. V ' V : , L- 1 - I ,ry F , 1 , .
