PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE ONLY as a chapter in the book of experience is the course at Bethel which now, for the seniors, is approaching its close. But brief, and seemingly insignificant as it is, it may be the most thrilling, the most dominating chapter of life. We little know the value of the passing moment and the transpiring event. The future alone can show these up in their true perspective. This issue of The Bethannual marks the dividing line between the common-place present and the alluring future. The year just ending at Bethel may have a much larger contribution to make in the life and work of each student than any one can surmise. An old adage reminds us of the f act that "all is well that ends well," and there is no small portion of truth in this philosophy. But, let us not forget that the close of a school year ushers in the Commencement season. Ah, there's the point of emphasis ! The commencement of so many things either worth while or the reverse, depending entirely upon our attitude to them or what we put into them. Henry Ford remarked, a while ago, that a man who starts out in life with the sole object of making money seldom makes very much, while the man who has in mind the rendering of a service of value, and keeps that uppermost in his life, makes money readily. Christ, the Great Teacher, expressed this same thought when he said, "Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteous-ness and all these things shall be added unto you." We get by giving and that applies not merely to business but to everything else in life. The application of that thought leads to Happiness. In the world as in the church, too, we get by giving. Some people go to church occasionally, take no active part, yet expect to get something in return. They go emptyhanded. They return much as they go. It is only possible for us to take out of life what we put into it. "For life is the mirror of king and slave, 'Tis just what we are and do. Give to the world the best you have And the best will come back to you." The faculty of Bethel, the School Board and the staff of The Bethannual want every reader to know that this has been the deepest desire of their heart and hence as the book goes forth it is carried on the waves of sincere prayer that its purpose may be fulfilled and spur each reader on nearer life's real goal.

Fifteen THE 1927 BETHANNUAL CLASS SONG Now the time has come for parting, Farewell Bethel, we must say; And, upon life's pathway starting, Each must go his different way. Do not say, though, friends and classmates, That we part here once for all; For the God that led us hither, Never will He let us fall. CHORUS : Farewell teachers, farewell classmates, Farewell Bethel, now we say; May the God who loves us ever Keep and guide us on our way. So, dear God, our Lord and Savior, Hear the prayers we offer Thee; Make our lives in Thy great favor Consecrated, full and free. Give us grace for every trial; Fill us with Thy peace and love; Lead us safely on life's journey•, Till we meet with Thee above. Not in paths of ease and glory Do we ask our way to be ; But the rugged steeps with courage May we tread rejoicingly. Not for days made smooth and pleasant Do we make our final plea; But for lives in service given, Wholly, truly, led by Thee. —By ELVERA M. WIK.

Twenty-Six THE 19 2 7 BETHANNUAL THE 19 2 7 BETHANNUAL CLASS COLORS—Rose and Silver CLASS FLOWER—ROSe CLASS Morro—Nil sine numine (Nothing without divine guidance) HELEN JOHNSON THE SENIOR HISTORY I IN the year of 1923 a company of fifty recruits, who had gathered from hills and plains, stormed the doors of Bethel. They broke down barrier after bar-rier and were soon fighting battles in History, English, and Mathematics. They entered in upon what has proved to be four years of continuous warfare. After facing several defeats (because they were very, very fresh) they realized that a Captain they must have to lead them. Being twentieth century soldiers they be-lieved in woman suffrage and so elected Miss Grace Phillips for Captain. Although she proved very capable, she needed help and thus Margaret Olsen was honored as Lieutenant. The subordinate officers were Fred Snell, Eva Johnson, and Joe Frykman. After winning battle after battle in several weeks of steady fighting, the company decided to celebrate their victories. The feast of the Moon held in the forest of Bethel was the result. Special precautions were taken, for rumors had it that a very superior company was to make an assault on us this particular night, but lo ! and behold ! they failed to appear. In the later part of the year Lieutenant Olsen left us on account of illness. Stanley Forsman took her place and whenever anyone became blue and discouraged, our witty lieutenant would tell a funny story and the blues would vanish. We made progress for soon authorities told us to plan for another social gathering. This time it was a party of ice and snow. Having gone through a process of steady chiseling and training we found ourselves strong and hardy. In the third month of the year '24 we had another war party—no attacks were made by outside troops. In June we were told that fighting would cease for three months. But orders were received from headquarters to train occasionally during the summer in order to keep our weapons bright and clean from rust, for in the fall we would have harder battles than ever to fight. II In September we were called back to the battlefront. During the summer months a few of our company had left, but we were fortunate in being reinforced by several new sturdy soldiers. One of these, Arthur Gustafson, became our lieu-tenant within a few weeks. Having much confidence in woman leadership from the experience of the previous year, Miss Dorthea Tornblom had the trying place of Captain. She led us victoriously through both defeats and victories. This year did not seem quite as difficult as the first one had seemed. We were now better acquainted with the lay of the country ; by this time we knew where Twenty-Eight it was safest to practice open fighting and where to lie in ambush. We not only retained the honors we had won the year before, but through exciting and thrilling adventures we won many more. Undoubtedly it was a strenuous but pleasant year. Very soon fall, winter, and spring had passed. Just when we felt that we were in trim the fighting season was over. So it was both with dismay and happiness that we were ordered home to rest and also to muster up a larger army for the coming year. III After many months of longing for Bethel fields, we finally returned as a company of brave Juniors. The Junior year is a year of hopes as well as of misgivings, but as a whole it is a glorious year. Hartley Grandin, our worthy Captain, resigned and Miss Frances May Anderson filled the place and with her skillful tactics led us through both calm and stormy weather. Frances V. Ander-son also gave her best service as lieutenant. At the Junior program, no doubt, the audience was overwhelmed by the talent of the company which had come to Bethel so fresh only three years before. An-other great event was a banquet given in honor of the Seniorites. They were soon leaving the Bethel arena so we wished to be on the very best of terms with them. We also take joy in looking back on the many happy gatherings within our own little company. In this way we became better acquainted, for how could we have learned to know each other if we had always stayed on the firing line. Yes, a firing line it was; a few of us even conquered the mighty Caesar. Hence it was with happy hearts that we left for the home country. We all promised to return in the fall upon receiving the good news from Headquarters—that if we could hold out just one more year we would be victors. IV So the next fall found us in Bethel with banners flying high and aspirations higher still. We felt as though we could have conquered the world. However, a few weeks of Halleck's and Twelve Centuries' cooled our ardor just a little bit. Realizing we were in for a good hard fight we began to look for a Captain. Prof. H. C. Wingblade was, of course, the man for the hour and we certainly are grate-ful for his capable leadership and for his untiring service. Our success is also due to the efficient service rendered by our worthy soldier, Mr. Winkleman. We have many happy recollections from this final year. The night of our Hallowe'en Party was one crowded with thrills and throbs of various kinds. Later we were royally entertained in the home of our Captain, where we practised our skill at many a curious art. Other outstanding occasions were the Senior-Junior banquet, the Alumnae banquet and the final seniorite picnic. Certainly it was a busy, bustling year. Many a fight did we carry on with the Sandman in order to finish that thesis. But by "filling every unforgiving minute with sixty seconds worth of distance run" we managed to finish. The senior year is really a year when work itself offers recreation. I am sure we have all found it the most pleasant of all the years. Twenty-Nine AUGUST WINKLEMAN ERIC SJOLUND ELVERA WIK President V-ice-President Secretary Treasurer THE 1927 BETHANNUAL THE 1927 BETHANNUAL Looking into the veiled future, four years seems a long stretch, but as we stand on the Bethel threshold ready to step out into the world, we feel that four years is a very, very short time. Still in this short time we derived many benefits at Bethel for which we thank her—for the interest every member of the Faculty had in us, and for the influence they have exerted over us. We also extend our appreciation to our fellow students for the comradeship we have enjoyed together. Owing to the training and atmosphere at Bethel we go out as Christian soldiers with welded weapons with which to fight for the good and great Cause. NAOMIE HULTGREN. Thirty PROPHECY OF THE CLASS OF '27 T T is a beautiful morning in the month of June. The sun has just risen over the eastern horizon but early as it is there are signs of activity on the Avia-tion Field just outside St. Paul. As we approach the grounds we find the ether members of our party already assembled, ready to set out on our expedition to the Holy Land. Our party consists of several religious workers and scientific men who are interested in the project that occupies the attention of so many at the present time, namely that of finding the lost Ark. Our expedition is under the leadership of the noted archeologist, Mr. Stanley Forsman, who graduated from Bethel Academy in 1927. The pilot who accompanies us on this journey to guide our machine through the air is the famous aviator Louis Ellis, a classmate of Mr. Forsman. It is an enjoyable sensation to feel ourselves lifted slowly upward until we reach the proper height and then to glide swiftly through the air looking down upon the toylike towns, lakes and forests. For our own enjoyment we are taking a very round-about route, visiting various countries and places on our way. We therefore first turn our machine toward the southwest as our pilot wishes, before leaving the country, to visit his sister Rosamund who is doing missionary work among the Mona Indians in southern California. After spending a few days with her we go on to San Francisco. Here we meet many friends, among them Martin Erickson, another member of the class of '27 at Bethel. He is now a well known evangelist and is at present conducting evangelistic services in sunny California. Now we take our course northward along the coast and over the mountains toward South Dakota. Here we stop to attend commencement exercises at Sioux Falls College, of which Elvera Wik is now president. Here we also meet Phoebe Strom, who for several years has been teaching school in the Bad Lands of North Dakota. During our stay we also visit the Baptist Church, where services are being conducted by Rev. Joseph Carlson and Alphin Conrad, who is known all over our land as the "singing evangelist." From them we learn that their sturdy classmate Frank Anderson is working in Montana under the title of "church invi-gorator." He carries his tool chest with him and repairs broken down churches in which he afterwards preaches the gospel. Again we turn our machine northward and are carried forward over the vast expanse of western Canada to Alaska. One of the most interesting places we visit during our stay here is Kodiak Orphanage on Wood Island, of which Vivian Skog-man is matron. Now we turn our course across the ocean toward the Orient. We stop at Shang-hai, China, to visit with our friend Eric Sjolund, who is in charge of the missionary work in the Shanghai province. After a brief stay, we continue on our way across the great country of China and over Thibet to India. After stopping to visit sev-eral places of interest, we finally land at Ongole, the place that is so memorable in the annals of Baptist Missions. Here we meet Elizabeth Anderson, who is Superintendent of Nurses at the Clough Memorial Hospital, and Esther Antonson, who is Assistant Superintendent. They are doing a much needed work among the women of India. From India we are carried swiftly to Jerusalem, our destination. * * * Almost two years have passed. We have finished the research work which we undertook to do during our stay in the Holy Land and are ready to return home. Again we glide through the air as though borne on the powerful wings of a bird, over mountain and vale until we reach Switzerland and land at Geneva. While visiting the Y. M. C. A. we meet Rudolph Ehnbom and learn that he is now Thirty-One FUTURE OCCUPATION IDENTIFICATION CHART -4 z THE 1927 BETHANNUAL International Secretary of this association. Our next stop is at Paris. As wt view various scenes of historical interest we meet many Americans ; one of these is Nellie Wohlford who has become a famous artist. We see several of her paint-ings which are on exhibition. Then we travel on across Germany to Hamburg to see the Theological Seminary of which August Winkleman is Dean. We can-not stay very long at any place, but we must stop a few days at London to give some desired information concerning our work to Gordon Lindeen, the Editor of The London Times. Now we turn our ship southward over Africa toward Congo. In Congoland we find Carol Dexter, who now has an M. D. degree and is healing sick bodies as well as souls. Here also is Eric Anderson preaching the gospel and directing the work in the Sona Bata field. After a short but pleasant sojourn with these friends, we are carried across the blue waves of the Atlantic to South America. In Brazil we visit in the home of one of our former Bethel girls, Tillie Singer. She has been doing missionary work in Brazil for several years with her husband, also a former Bethel student. At last we direct our machine toward our own country again. When we reach Florida we stop to refresh ourselves at the Tourist Tavern in Tampa, which is owned and managed by Orville Johnson. Here we also meet Esther Jorgenson, who in the capacity of private nurse is traveling with a wealthy family. In flying north-ward over the Kentucky mountains we notice, as we look down, a group of splendid looking buildings surrounded by beautiful lawns. This is a rather unusual sight in these mountains. We stop to investigate and learn that this is headquarters for the mission work which Ellen Carlson has been carrying on among the back-woods people in these mountains. Being so near Washington we decide to go there and listen in at some of the sessions of Congress. At one of these sessions, as the Senator from South Dakota rises to speak, we discover that he is none other than Birger Swenson, whose oratorical ability as a student at Bethel we well remember. But we must continue on our way. In Chicago we stop at the home of Helen Skoglun, who is married to the manager of the National Baseball League. During our stay we also meet Alice Larson, who is a Social Settlement worker in Chicago. We are now on the last lap of our long and extensive journey and we come back to St. Paul just in time to attend commencement exercises at Bethel. Many former students have returned for this occasion; we meet Naomie Hultgren, who is now wife of the Science Instructor at Carleton College; Helen Johnson, who is Superintendent of Nurses at Mounds Park; Donald Anderson, now County Agri-cultural Agent in northern Minnesota ; Fritj of Johson, now successfully treading in Dr. Riley's footsteps as pastor of the First Baptist Church; Irving Ellis and Allan Fredine, who are working with F. A. Johnson as song leader and organist, respectively of his church ; and Ruth Dahlen, who as Miss Jacobson's successor is teaching History at Bethel. Adolph Carlson, who is a successful pastor at Toronto, Canada, successor of fundamentalist leader Dr. Shields, has come with his wife (who was formerly Adeline Knutson) to attend a Bible conference at the First Church, where Mr. Forsman will give lectures on his work in the Holy Land. Axel Rendahl, who is now General Superintendent of Baptist work in Wisconsin, has come for the same purpose.

Signed CLASS OF '27 THE 1 9 2 7 BETHANNUAL H. C. WINGBLADE AS the graduating:class we feel grateful to every one that has made our stay at dear Bethel so very happy and beneficial as it has been. On this page we wish to express our deepest appreciation especially to our class adviser, Prof. H. C. Wingblade. There is something of the eagle's azure flight and of the meadow's freshness, or, by other interpretation, the Knight's proud weapon in his inherited name. And mentioning that name in years to come will bring back to our memory how Mr. Wingblade before the Senior class was a champion for the true, the just, the pure, and the lovely in the world. With the weapon of earnest heart-to-heart talk he endeavored to drive the enemies of youth away. In his sermonets and wise remarks there was always something of the beauti-ful greenness and erectness of the new grass-field, and it was made still more spring-like by a warm, sunny smile. In the sphere of literature he soared high in order to interpret to us, after the flight, the lofty penmen's sublime thoughts. His prayers brought us to the very throne of God. Witnesses: PHOEBE STROM DONALD ANDERSON RUDOLPI-I EHNBOM Thirty-Four Thirty-Five THE 1927 BETHANNUAL CLASS OF 1928 Adviser—Miss JACOBSON OFFICERS HISTORY OF THE JUNIORS CHAPTER ONE AND it came to pass during the reign of Wingblade the First in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty-four that a mixed multitude entered the sanctuary in the wilderness, and they were tortured and humiliated by the other tribes of the sanctuary, but they were not without hope. And so it happened that this large and splendid multitude came together in council and chose a leader from among their numbers whose name was Johnson. A scribe, Naomi Hultgren, was selected to record the proceedings at each meeting of the tribe, and Margaret Carlson was elected the keeper of the tribe's gold. After the persecuted tribe had studied and copied lengthy scrolls for many days, there was a great and marvelous assemblage in the sanctuary. At this gathering only freshmen were present, all the other tribes being barred. At this one noble tribe spent the evening in revelry and feasting. CHAPTER Two After a brief respite it came to pass that the same multitude met again in the sanctuary, but this time they were called the high and mighty sophomores. And the other three tribes feared them exceedingly. Another leader, Sjolund, was chosen•, likewise, Evelyn Lange was appointed scribe and Lind, keeper of the gold. And they met a second time for a great merry-making feast, and the night was passed in banqueting. They challenged all the other tribes who had remained in the sanctuary for many days to a great battle of debate. They had high hopes of winning and were not disappointed in their debater, Florence Johnson, who carried away the medals. CHAPTER THREE And it came to pass after a short pilgrimage that the multitude gathered a third time in the sanctuary, and now their name was the lofty Juniors. The leader for PAUL WOHLFORD - DOROTHY FLORIN THELMA BRANDT President Secretary Treasurer Thirty-Six Thirty-Seven THE 19 2 7 BETHANNUAL THE 1 9 2 7 13ETHANNUAL • their sojourn was Wohlford.

PROOF-All the A's of Helen Florin X the A's of 'Marvin Samuelson X the A's of Glenn Campbell X the A's of Faith Carlson = Scholarship. If equals are multiplied by equals the products are equal. Ax. 3. Walfred Lundsten + Glenn Myers + Marvin Samuelson = the prize winning set of athletes. If equals are added to equals the sums are equal. Ax. 1. Sammy = our class representative in the Student Council by an example of ourselves, smart and intelligent. Secretary of Chorus = Olga Holmstrom + Soloists Ella Ostrom and Ada Peter-son Violinists Theodore Tupa and Marie Skogman = the Sophomore music de-partment. The fact that they exist proves this. Ax. 999. Literary Society = Edwin Brandt, President of Svea + Olga Holmstrom, Sec-retary of Alpha Beta + Myrtle Erickson, Treasurer of Alpha Beta. If equals are added to equals the sums are equal. Ax. 1. The Missionary Band = Marvin Samuelson, Vice-President + Olga Holmstrom, Secretary. For the same reason. The Ministerial Association = Glenn Campbell, Group Captain. Adding: Attainments in Scholarship + superiority in Athletics + representation on Student Council + ability in Music + important positions in Literary Socie-ties, Missionary Band, Student Volunteers, Ministerial Association = a bright and intelligent class. The whole is greater than any of its parts and is equal to the sum of all its parts. Ax. 10. Q. E. D. Forty-Two Forty-Three SOPHO➢4ORE9 5-h, ct I s THE 1927 BETHANNUAL Forty-Four A VISIT TO THE WORLD'S FAIR IN 194/ DURING the year 1942 I had made plans to spend my vacation among Minne-sota's ten thousand lakes. I accordingly boarded the train in New York one summer morning intending to stop in Chicago for a few days to visit the World's Fair. I was pleasantly surprised at Cleveland, Ohio, to see my old classmate Ivar Anderson get on the train. After we had exchanged warm greet-ings he told me that he was making a business trip and could spend a few days at the fair with me. We began to speak of old times and our school days at Bethel. I told Mr. Anderson that I intended upon reaching Minnesota to visit our Alma Mater in St. Paul and renew old acquaintances. We called to mind our former classmates and I was glad to hear through Mr. Anderson, whose position made it necessary for him to be familiar with the mis-sionary work of our Church, that many of our old classmates who had been pre-paring for missionary work were established in foreign fields. Leonard Johnson is working with great success in the Belgian Congo and as a result of his work seven new mission stations have been established within the past year. I also learned that Ruth I. Johnson is superintendent of a hospital in India and that Marjorie Hampton's pleasant smile is encouraging the workers in that needy field. Willie Swan is teaching the Karens in Burma and Edwin Fri-berg is doing evangelistic work in Japan. Mabel Rogalla is busily engaged in driving a Ford from village to village as missionary to the Indians in New Mexico. After arriving in Chicago we called on Joseph Mattson who was the advertising manager of the World's Fair. He was glad to receive us as his distinguished guests and supplied us with complimentary season tickets for the fair. He said he would have been glad to accompany us but he could not on account of his great responsibility and the multitudinous duties in connection with his position. When we arrived at the grounds the first day, we recognized Harlan Anderson holding a very responsible position as chief gate keeper. In the automobile show we met Hjalmar Collins who was a dapper salesman for the new Packard Twin Sixteen. His sales unusual, due, no doubt, to his pleasant smile. In the buildings displaying farm machinery we saw Walfred Pearson who represented the Built-well Tractor Company, and who demonstrated his product every day on the roof-garden of the agricultural building. Having a special interest in the Swedish Building, we entered and found Astrid Johansson giving away samples of Swedish Forty-Five MISS ANDERSON 'VAR ANDERSON RUTH L.

Council THE 1927 BETHANNUAL THE 1927 BETHANNUAL candy, the recipe for which was original with her. We conversed with her and found that though living in Sweden she had not forgotten the English she learned at Bethel. She told us that Eva Johansson is teaching English in a high school in Sweden and that May Sandberg is at the head of a hospital in Sweden. During the course of our wandering from place to place we came upon the piano exhibition building. We met William Tapper who represented the great eastern piano manufacturers, Harry Berg & Company. This company was offering a piano to the first couple who would offer to be married in their section. We arranged to be present for the ceremony and saw the blushing bride Adele Gibney and her handsome groom step up to be married by the Rev. Daniel Hoglund. On the way to the next building we saw a crowd gathered around a soap-box orator. Drawing nearer we heard the lusty voice of Joe Collins who was cam-paign manager for Warren Asher whom Collins claimed would be the next senator from Illinois on the Farmer-Labor ticket. We took the elevated railway back to the hotel that evening and whom did we see on the car but Stanley Hanson. He was conductor resplendent in his official uniform. The following day we visited the fair again. We were meeting many of our old friends. Then we saw Ruth L. Johnson who is teaching Domestic Science at Bethel Academy and who was attending the fair. We inquired about many of the girls who were in our class. Amy Anlund is teaching Algebra in a St. Paul high school; Mary Petrie is married and settled down to a quiet life as the wife of a banker in Los Angeles •, Ruby Johnson is teaching country school in Montana •, Ethel Sundquist and May Berntson are married and living on farms in Minne-sota ; Nellie Angstrom is married and living on the west coast. She also serves as president of the Women's Club in her city. We went to the flower building and met Justine Newfeld displaying her famous American Beauties. We were told by her that Ruth Robertson was an accomplished pianist and had appeared as soloist with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at the fair. At the women's building we saw Ruby Frisk and Astrid Swanson receiving gifts for the Red Cross. Frances Gors and Martha Staricka were displaying fine textiles from the Levi Rasmussen mills. In the afternoon we wandered to the air field where William Backlund was demonstrating a new seven passenger plane. He told us that Walter Peterson was working as an air traffic officer in Chicago. We were approached by a jolly gentleman who was selling accident and life insurance. We were surprised when he handed us his card to find that his name was Christopher Westlund. He said he had met Julia Folta and Thelma Peterson and had succeeded, after much difficulty, in selling them insurance. When we arrived at our hotel in the evening, we met Miss Frances Anderson who was also stopping there. We invited her to dinner with us and told her how many of our old classmates we had met, so naturally we began discussing the class of 1930. She told us that Lettie Jorgenson was the wife of a Kansas City min-ister and Ruth Weiser was a nurse in the Midway Hospital, St. Paul. The next day I took leave of Ivar and left for Minnesota. I felt that I had well repaid for my visit to the fair because I had met many old friends. It is indeed a rare occasion when one meets with so many old friends.

This Club was organized because the students who come to Bethel realize the value of voice culture. Indeed, it is just as important to train the voice as to develop any of our other faculties. The Glee Club, composed of fifteen talented members, has made a name for itself and has helped greatly to boost the school. Under the able leadership of Professor Hultgren it has made rapid progress and is adding to its fame each year. It has been a decided asset to the school organization, assisting in the concerts given by the Choral Club as well as on many other occasions. The annual concert tour is an event looked forward to and enjoyed by this group. They are always welcomed with enthusiasm at the places visited and their success is remarkable. THE 1927 BETHANNUAL EVELYN HANSON GEORGE SINDING ADA PETERSON -1- IVE diplomas and certificates have been earned by pupils in the Music Depart-ment this year. Miss Laura Nordgaarden, a graduate of the music department of the Jewell College, receives a diploma in Voice; and Mrs. Hattie Taft of Center-ville, S.

Certificates will be given to Miss Evelyn Hanson, Voice•, and to Miss Ada Peterson, and Mr. George Sinding, Piano. These pupils will appear at the graduates' recital given on Wednesday, May 11. Over ninety pupils have been enrolled in the studies at Bethel Academy and on Payne Ave. The following subjects have been offered: Piano, Voice, Violin, Har-mony, History of Music. LAURA NORDGAARDEN HATTIE TAFT Fifty Fifty-One THE 1927 BETHANNUA ,L Cl) 0 U O O U H cf) PROGRESS T N the Autumn of 1905, the doors of Bethel Academy were opened for the first I time. It was a small beginning; those first years were diffcult ones, but from them our splendid institution has grown and flourished until today it stands as a great memorial to the persistent efforts of its self-sacrificing, Christian founders. Today we are reaping the fruits of the sacrifice and labor of those who have blazed the trail before us. We stand on the pinnacle of the Past. With faces toward the East to hail the morning sun and the glory of the new day, we gaze upon the broad expanse which is the scene of new triumps. The whole world has called us. With a goal in sight and God's blessing and benediction resting upon us we press forward, as men and women eager for conquest, to still greater endeavor, knowing that success will crown our efforts.

JOHNSON IVAR ANDERSON ELVERA WIK VICTOR ERICKSON DEBATING TEAM THE ALPHA BETA LITERARY SOCIETY THE leading organization in Bethel Academy is the Alpha Beta Literary Society. The aim of this society is to develop the intellectual ability of the student in parliamentary drill and also in literary work. To be able to get up and deliver a speech before a large audience is a great asset to any person and that is what the Alpha Beta is training the students to do. Through the able leadership of Eric Sjolund and Gordon Johnson, the two presidents, we have had many interesting and profitable programs. The programs for the last year have consisted of musical numbers, debates, declamatory and ora-torical contests as well as extemporaneous speeches. The meetings have been held every other Saturday night and have been well attended by both the student body and the public.

It is the only foreign language literary society in Bethel. Many of our honor students have hailed from those northern shores. But not only to these is this society valuable, but to all who have the blood of the Vikings surging through their veins. Many interesting programs are rendered throughout the year. The debates and readings stimulate interest in the history of Sweden. The winners in the declama-tory contest this year are May Sandberg, first, and Victor Erickson, second. This organization grows larger and stronger every year and we certainly feel that it is a great asset to our school.

It is a twelve page publication and is issued once a month. The purpose of the Clarion is to record the important events of the school, to enable friends of the school as well as parents of the students to keep in touch with the work and the activities of our school and thus arouse their interest. It awakens and maintains the interest of the students in school activities by mentioning anything they do that is worthy of note. The staff is composed of students, and their work along this line gives them practical experience in editing a newspaper. Dr. Hagstrom has contributed a helpful message in each issue. Essays have been selected from the English Classes and each issue has had its class reports. The staff owes much to Professor H. C. Wingblade, their adviser, for his helpful and considerate advice. Standing—Walfred Lundsten, Paul Wohlford, Clarence Gilbert, Marvin Samuelson Seated—Naomi Hultgren, Alice May Larson, Rudolph Ehnbom THE STUDENT COUNCIL ABOUT seven years ago this association was formed for the purpose of giving the students a representation in the school organization. In this council there are members from each class who represent their respective classes in vital matters concerning the school and its government. They meet with the principal to discuss important matters and propose changes. In this way the students feel that they help to shoulder responsibilities, and aid in making Bethel an ideal school.

When we look upon the vast territories in the East, in the South, and in the West and see the terrible poverty, wretched homes, unremitting toil, gross intel-lectual ignorance, unrelieved physical sufferings, unmentionable cruelties and crimes, and spiritually lost, we with Paul feel that the love of Christ constraineth us to present the only hope, Jesus Christ. "There's only one way that this lost world can know That Jesus for sinners hath died: To spread the glad tidings He's bidden us go, And no other way doth provide."—MRs. C. H. MORRIS. Every year Bethel has a number of students that are making provisions for service in foreign fields. These students have corresponded with several of the missionaries in various fields, and have also cheered the missionaries by presenting a small token. May God bless every effort put forth by the Student Volunteers. OFFICERS Top Row—Christopher Westlund, F. A.

As members, it automatically enrolls all Academy students who have entered on the path toward the ministry. With the reinforcement of the Bible and Missionary Training Students as co-workers and honorary members this association has carried on a remarkable work this year. Loyalty and Fidelity, the two groups within the association, have con-ducted meetings weekly at the West Side Mission and also occasionally at the Union Gospel Mission. In addition through visitation work the members have been richly blessed by complying with the Master's command to "Go out into the high-ways and hedges." Through these various efforts many precious souls have been brought into the Light. The work started last year with the boys in the neighborhood of the school has prospered greatly under the auspices of the Ministerial students. About fifty boys have received religious instruction as well as physical training every Mon-day evening. This work was brought to a close with a very fitting program.

It implies the awakening of man's faculties, the development of sympathy and personality, as well as a knowledge and mastery of his voice and body. We know that if we are going to have our messages bear fruit they must be presented in a way which will interest the audience. We must cultivate ourselves in overcoming defects of speech and also in developing self confidence. With this in view the Public Speaking Class, under the leadership of our able instructor, Miss Price, meets twice each week. The aim of this class is to enable students to stand before an audience and present the truth with clear thinking. It is here that we cultivate our methods which we soon realize are at first very rude. Here we are criticized with a loving spirit, and with an aim only to help, which is not always the case while speaking in public. Some who feel their need of this training more than others are taking private lessons, which of course makes it possible for them to receive more concentrated attention. This department has given some very good programs during the past school year. THE 0. J. M. M. M. VICTOR ERICKSON - President OLGA HOLMSTROM - - Secretary-Treasurer "Send three in my place," were the dying words of our revered alumna, Olivia Johnson, '13. OLIVIA JOHNSON was born in Blikinge, Sweden. Here she found her Saviour Jesus Christ at the age of fourteen. Two years later she was baptized and joined the church. She felt a definite call for Missionary Work, so she came to America for the necessary education to fit her for her task. She entered the Women's Baptist Missionary Training School of Chicago. After she had completed her course, she spent several years in Kansas as Home Missionary. In 1913 she graduated from Bethel and she applied to the Foreign Missionary Board to be sent out to Congo, Africa. She was advised to go to the Philippines instead. In 1919 she returned to the United States to get a better education. It was during this visit that she became sick with influenza and in January 1919, she died with the last words on her lips, "Send three in my place." In 1920 the Olivia Johnson Memorial Missionary Movement was founded by the students and faculty of Bethel Academy in honor of Miss Olivia Johnson. The purpose of this movement is to pray for missions, to preach missions, to give to missions, and to encourage others to go out as missionaries. Missionary services are held during the year. Funds are raised by free-will contributions and all who contribute a dollar per year become members of this movement. The money is used to build a library in the Philippine Islands in her honor. It is the prayer of every Christian that many souls may find Christ as their personal saviour through these books that are sent down there each year. ATHENAEAN SOCIETY THE ATHENAEN SOCIETY is strictly a girls' organization. Every girl automatically becomes a member upon entering school. The purpose of the Society is to stimulate a spirit of friendship between the girls. It is of a literary as well as of a social nature. During the past year many interesting events have taken place under the direc-tion of this Society. The outstanding event is the Girls' Banquet, which proved to be a great success. Besides this the girls have taken several hikes and also had some open meetings. We feel that the success of this Society is largely due to our adviser, Miss Jacobson. The following were the officers for the past year : ELVERA WIK PHOEBE STROM RUTH DAHLEN OLGA HOLMSTROM - President Vice-president Secretary Treasurer Sixty-Two Sixty-Three THE 1 9 2 7 BETHANNUAL THE 1 9 2 7 BETHANNUAL MISSIONARY BAND BETHEL ACADEMY is distinctively a Christian school. Many of its students are preparing for a life of Christian service and looking forward to a life-work as ministers in the home land or missionaries on the foreign field. That these stu-dents and other Christian students, while pursuing their academic studies, should have the opportunity to engage in practical Christian service and should have in-fluences brought to bear upon them that will foster and develop their spiritual life is important. This need of the students of Bethel Academy is met by the organization of stu-dents known as the Missionary Band. The purpose of this organization is three-fold: to afford the students the opportunity to engage in active Christian work; to encourage and stimulate their interest in Christian work; and to foster and develop their spiritual life. In meetings conducted from time to time by the organization in Missions, Old People's Homes, Hospitals, etc., the students are encouraged to use their talents in active service. They receive experience in giving gospel talks and in giving personal testimony for Christ. That there is a benefit and a joy in this active service for the students is evidenced by the interest and willingness with which many enter into it. The organization fosters and develops the spiritual life of the students by con-ducting prayer meetings each day. One is held each morning and one is held each evening. What can be of greater importance in the life of the student than these prayer meetings held daily with his fellow students ? It is there that his spiritual life is revived and he receives power to live a victorious Christian life. The prayer meetings are the source of the spiritual power by which he may in-fluence others. THE BETHEL ACADEMY ALUMNI ASSOCIATION "One, two, three, four, Who are we for? We're, for the red, we're for the white, We're for Bethel, day and night." THE B. A. A. A. is an organization composed of the graduates of our Bethel Academy. At the present, the membership is about four hundred and twelve, which number will be swelled by the graduating class of '27. The president is Eric N. Lindholm, pastor of the Central Church. The other alumni officers are the following: Vice-President, Reuben. Tanquist •, Rec. Secretary, Ellen Hedlund•, Asst. Rec. Secretary, Goldie Putnam; Corr. Secretary, Elna Fors-sell ; Treasurer, Alford Hanson; Reporter, Edith Larson; Auditors, Gordon Bodien and Henry Funk. The B. A. A. A. is truly alive, and "a `rarin' to go." The only drawback is the financial necessity of making haste slowly. Our dreams are many and by no means insignificant: a girls' dormitory, a John Alexis Edgren Memorial Library, the re-decorating of the first floor of the Academy and the painting of the rest of the rooms, as well. Moreover, we're out for a $5000.00 Jubilee goal for the benefit of Bethel. Besides individual pledges, the association sponsored the annual spring concert at the Academy. Our Alumni Day on March 12 was satisfactory in spite of the sullen weather. At that time the commercial alumni were welcomed into the B. A. A. A. as honorary members. "The more, the merrier," the ancient saying goes. Two real treats await us within the next few months. The first is the Annual Banquet (June 6) at the Nicollet; the other concerns a big re-union of all Bethel people in Chicago some time during the Jubilee. The Chicago branch has promised to take charge of all arrangements. We intend to give out an Alumni News bulletin periodically, with contributions from our members everywhere. Special reporters have been _appointed for Cali-fornia, Chicago, the Seminary, the East, and even among Bethel graduates in Africa, India, China and Canada. Watch us go, glow, and grow ! ELNA G.

El-mom GUY MYERS PAUL WOHLFORD, Football Where be received his early training we do not know, but near his house is a farm and its keeper raises water melons. Probably lie scored his first goal by bring-ing one of these over the fence for a touch down. As captain of the football team this year Paul piloted one of the best teams that Bethel has ever had. RUDOLPH EHNBOM, Basketball Reports have it that "Rudy" used to go up and down the streets of Two Harbors bouncing a large rubber ball. We thank that ball if it was the means of making the basketball player who carried his team to the first championship that Bethel has ever won. MARVIN SAMUELSON, Baseball The snow in Pennsylvania by Sammy's home is very dirty and in those winter snow-ball fights Sammy learned how to watch the dark ball, and as a result he is a great base-ball play-er. His work as captain made the nine a winning team. GUY MYERS, Track Guy showed his ability to head up a good team. He worked hard to get the boys to train and be at their best. • The splendid showing made by the team was very-largely due to his efforts.

It is called the Bethel Academy Athletic Association and as its name implies it is to deal with all the athletic activities of the school. At this first meeting Clarence Gilbert was elected president and Hollis Johnson vice-president. Alice Larson was given the position of secretary while Gordon John-son took over the duties of treasurer. Already this organization has met with wonderful success, for it was partly through the loyal support of its members that the Basketball team won the Twin City Championship. As a grand climax to the winter sports the society arranged an Athletic Banquet. BASKETBALL THE basketball quint for the 1 92 6-27 season was Bethel's most successful team. Out of the fifteen games that it played only four were dropped; this gives it the percentage of .733. The red and whites netted 330 points against 230 for their opponents ; this gives them the advantage of 100 points. Ten of the games were played on the local floor, three were fought on visiting fields, while two were cap-tured on a neutral floor. The visiting fields were Augsburg, Minnesota, and Minne-haha. The players who took part in enough games to receive a letter are Walfred Lundsten, Marvin Samuelson, Orville Johnson, Hollis Johnson, forwards ; Paul Wohlford, Clarence Bergsten, centers ; Rudolph Ehmbom, Glenn Myers, Donald Anderson, and Gordon Johnson, guards; "Rudy" Ehnbom was captain; Louis Swearingen, coach •, Allan Fredine, manager, and Guy Myers, yell leader. Those who made the points were the following: Wohlford Lundsten Samuelson Ehnbom 0. Johnson Following are the games: December 14 Bethel 14 Zion 17 January 12 Bethel 16 Seminary 31 January 19 Bethel 19 Augsburg 21 January 21 Bethel 20 Argus Club 17 February 1 Bethel 27 First Swedish Baptist Church 9 February 4 Bethel 9 Minnesota 15 February 10 Bethel 17 Minnehaha 11 February 15 Bethel 18 Bethany 14 February 24 Bethel 18 Minnehaha 7 March 1 Bethel 36 Bethany 10 March 5 Bethel 26 Augsburg 24 March 11 Bethel 27 Minnesota 23 March 12 Bethel 31 Alumni 5 March 17 ..... .. Bethel 45 Augsburg 18 March 9 1 Bethel 15 Minnesota 14 TRACK Although the school decided not to have a coach for track this year, the aspirants for those honors did not feel discouraged. In fact they did better than some of the teams that have preceded them. Those who took part in the events were Enoch Hoagfelt—half mile, 100 yd., 220 yd., 440 yd., pole vault, broad jump, and discus ; Roy Wexler-100 yd., 220 yd., and mile; Guy Myers- 440 yd., half mile, pole voult, broad jump, and high jump; Eric Sjolund-440 yd., half mile and broad jump; Don Anderson-220 yd.; Walter Lundsten—broad jump, high jump, pole vault, shot put, discus, and 100 yd.; Marvin Samuelson-220 yd., broad jump, pole vault, and high jump; Paul Wohlford—high jump, shot put, dis-cus, and 100 yd., and Theo Tupa-440 yd. and 220 yd. Sixty-Eight Sixty-Nine THE 19 2 7 BETHANNUAL THE 1 9 2 7 BETHANNUAL RUDOLPH EHNBOM, "Rudy," Captain and Guard Rudy ably captained his team, doing much to spur them on to victory. If he thought the team was be-coming listless he would fight that much harder and so inspire the team into better playing. On the defense he was always alert whenever possible he stopped his man before any damage could be done. His one pur-pose was to keep his men safely ahead of their oppon-ents. We are sorry that he will be lost by graduation. PAUL WOHLFORD, Center Paul proved himself to be the best center in the league. Even though he wasn't always able to out-jump his opponents he generally got the ball. His neat footwork often baffled not only his opponents but also the referee. If, when Paul comes back next year, he is still better, his opponents better begin to worry now. WALFRED LUNDSTEN, "Wallie" Wallie always seemed to be just where his opponents didn't want him. His keen eye for shooting baskets coupled with his excellent defensive work made Bethel look like champions at all times. Next year will again see him in action. GLEN MYERS, "Buck," Guard Buck proved to be a sterling guard, never allowing his opponents to have target practice at his basket. If his man wanted a shot he would have to try from the middle of the floor. His ability to break up passes put many games in Bethel's favor. He will be avail-able for next year's quint. ORVILLE JOHNSON, Forward Orville is a neat player, being a reliable man to put into the thick of the fight when a basket is needed. His long shots did much toward deciding the outcome of the games he participated in. When he steps out in June he will leave a gap that will be hard to fill. HOLLIS JOHNSON, Forward Hollis, the sixth regular, was one of the best players in the league. His quickness and speed on the floor was a valuable asset to the team. His ability to help work the plays made him one of the most dependable men on the squad. Next year we believe he will hold a regular berth. MARVIN SAMUELSON, "Sammy" Sammy, though small, is a great fighter. Even though his opponents always towered over him he was not worried because his great speed gave him the ad-vantage. Often you could see him sinking a basket while his guard was still looking for him. He will be back next year to fill his own position. ALLAN FREDINE, Manager Much could be said on how faithful he handled his position. It was no easy task finding a score keeper and a time keeper for each game. However, he always managed to find one. His work in arranging the schhedule meant much for his success of the team. Seventy Seventy-One THE 1 9 2 7 BETHANNUAL THE 1927 BETHANNUAL BASKETBALL MUCH of the credit for having won the Twin City Academic Championship belongs to our coach, Louis Swearingen. Although he had five lettermen back, he was handicapped both in that he did not know the style of the coaching that the boys were accustomed to and second, the call for candidates was issued rather late. However, with but two practice games his team entered the league on January 21. They dropped their first two conference games, but the courage and spirit of our coach cheered the team on to victory. After defeating Minnehaha twice they came back to conquer those who had first conquered them and thus they tied with Augsburg and Minnesota for the league leadership. The play-off was arranged and played on the Hamline floor. In the first game Bethel eliminated Augsburg by the score of 45 to 18 and thus won the right to play Minnesota. This game was somewhat harder but Bethel triumphed over the Purple and White 15 to 14. The prospects of having a Championship team next year look exceedingly bright. Although the team will suffer by the loss of its able captain, "Rudy" Ehnbom, its speedy forward Orville Johnson, and its sterling guard, Donald Anderson she will be strengthened by the substitutes who will graduate into regulars next year. The 1927-28 team will see seven letter men back. FOOTBALL THE call for football candidates was given shortly after the opening of school. As there was no football team in 1925-26 Coach Conrad had to build up an new team. This was difficult to do as the turnout was so small and seldom were there enough men to have a scrimmage. At first he grounded the men in the funda-mentals of the game but because they were able to learn so fast he taught them some clever plays. At last he decided that the team was strong enough to meet outside opposition. Accordingly a game was arranged with St. Paul Academy on whose grounds the game was played. The Bethel defence proved to be very strong and after the first few minutes of play our offence played better than did St. Paul's. There will not be a player lost by graduation and the only places that will need to be filled are those occupied by the two Seminary players. The members of the team are : Dahlquist, L. E. ; Leidstrom, L. T. ; Nease, L. G. ; Bergsten, C. ; Fritzell, R. G.; B. Myers, R. T.; G. Myers, R. E.; H. Johnson, Q. B.; Lundsten, L. H. ; Gilbert, R. H. ; Wohlford, F. B. Seventy-Two Seventy-Three THE 1927 BETHANNUAL THE 1927 BETHANNUAL ALMANAC COACH SWEARINGEN Louis not only demonstrated his ability in teaching the team new plays and tricks but imbued them with a fervent zeal for the game and a fighting spirit that carried them over the top when defeat seemed evident. BASEBALL THE call for baseball candidates this year was heeded with great enthusiasm. Coach Swearingen had a large turn-out from which to pick his team. Nine of the men were letter men of last year and were of great help to the new ones. The letter men who returned were Marvin Samuelson, short-stop, this year's captain; Glen Myers, outfield; "Rudy" Ehnbom, third base; Wallie Lundsten, second base; Paul Wohlford, first base; "Red" Rasmusson, outfield; Clarence Bergsten, outfield; Don Anderson, pitcher, and F. A. Johnson, pitcher. The new men of whom many became regulars were Joe Collins, outfield; Glen Campbell, second base; Hollis Johnson, catcher; Stanley Hanson, third base; Alphin Conrad, pitcher and catcher; Ralph Carlson, outfield, and Roy Wexler, short-stop and outfield.

Such con-sistency comes only with a perfected annual service that is capable of developing better ideas in annual building in addition to furnish-ing cuts that are uniformly perfect. The good annual service man does more than to give cut service. I like to think of our service man as a personal friend and editorial adviser who takes a thorough interest in helping to solve the many problems that confront an annual editor. I want to pass a word along to future Bethannual editors about Fred Fredell, our annual service man. "Fred" know the Beth-annual, and he knows how to improve it. In addition he has the technical knowledge that is necessary to completely express an editor's ideas.
