One of the highlights was the concert in a school assembly in Hudson- ville, Michigan, when we were able to sing and testify to young people of our own age. A week later, at the State Music Contest, we received a superior rating from all our iudges. Some earlier concerts were: our first Christmas concert given in the Wheaton Junior High auditorium, several church concerts, a benefit concert at the Wheaton Bible Church, and a concert in our own chapel. Our spring concert was given in the new Scripture Press Auditorium in Wheaton. 42 U The addition to the choir of a trumpet trio and tympani was success, and will be used in following years.

The Academy Gospel Team was quite active this year under the direction of Emery Cummins. About 25 churches and youth groups were vis- ited. Merold and Ed Cummins also spoke on many of the weekend tours. Their tour to Detroit included several churches as well as an ap- pearance on the radio. This ministry has proved to be an opportunity for active Christian work on the part of the student body. Chapel Youth Fellowship met every Tuesday night to study the Word and sing hymns. We had a series of outstanding messages by Stan Voth '49 who suggested different approaches to Bible study. He took us through several chapters and accounts in the gospels and showed us the many practical applications that could be found in the many symbols used. Pastor Frost from West Chicago was also among the many speakers who fellowshiped with us. Members of our group also shared thoughts on particular subiects in testimony meetings as well as from the pulpit. The main Gospel Team speaker was Emery John Cum- mins, Academy graduate, '54 ,and assistant dorm supervisor. 3 4'I
