Holidays in California
Sees Famous Tournament of Roses
A trip on the Pacific Ocean in a
speed boat was one of the interesting
events enjoyed by Dorothy Sawyer
during the holidays. She left St. Paul
on Christmas Eve, and after spending
two days and three nights on the
train, arrived at her destination, Los
Angeles, December 27th.
"One evening", says Dorothy, "we
drove over to Altadena, to see a street
lined on each side for a mile with
Deodar trees strung with red, white,
and green electric lights—ten thou-sand
lights in all. The seeds for the
trees were brought from abroad
several years ago, and now the trees
are about fifty feet high, resembling
very large Christmas trees.
"On January 2, I saw the famous
Tournament of Roses at Pasadena.
There were sixty-four floats all dec-orated
with the most beautiful flowers.
All of the floats represented some
fairy tale: Tom Thumb, Little Jack
Horner, etc.
"On one of our drives, we' went
through the Forest Lawn Memorial
Park. In this Park there are two
famous churches, the Little Church
of the Flowers, and the Little Church
of the Forest Lawn. We went through
the latter. It is the exact reproduc-tion
of the church where Annie Laurie
worshipped in Scotland. To one side
of the Church is a beautiful garden.
It is called "God's Garden", and only
people who wish to pray are allowed
to enter. In another part of this
Park there is a large statue called
`The Mystery of Life'. It is noted
throughout the world as one of the
world's greatest sculptural master-pieces.
It contains 22 life-sized
figures carved from Carrara marble.
There have been many interpretations,
and each one makes his own study and
draws his own conclusions. Way back
in among the trees there is a 'Tower
of Legends' from which comes beau-tiful
music. This' Park is the most
beautiful place I have ever seen, and
I advise anyone who goes anywhere
near it to make a point to see Forest
Lawn Memorial Park."
Alexis Society Begins
Series on Hymnology
A series of lectures on Hymnology
was inaugurated at the Alexis meet-ing
held on January 11th. The life
story of Fanny Crosby, the famous
blind composer of America, was ably
presented by Hartley Osterlund. Two
of Miss Crosby's hymns, "Saved by
Grace", and "My Saviour First of
All", were sung by Alice Schmoldt and
Ruby Carlson. During the course of
the program, several of Fanny Cros-by's
well-known hymns were sung by
the congregation.
The next meeting, to be held on
January 18th, will be in the form of
a "Lina Sandell" evening. Miss San-dell
has been called the "Fanny Cros-by
of Sweden" and is a famous
Swedish hymn writer. Her life story
will be given by Philip Backstrom;
the music, featuring Miss Sandell's
hymns will be furnished by Miss
Muriel Nelson and Clifford Lindor.
STUDENTS COMPRISE
COSMOPOLITAN GROUP
Three foreign countries, Wales.
Sweden, and Canada, and seventeen
states are represented in a student
body at Bethel of 161 members.
Among this number there are nine
church denominations represented:
Baptist, Christian Missionary Alliance,
Lutheran, Methodist, Presbyterian,
Evangelical, Mission Covenant, Men-nonite.
and Congregational. There
are also a number of un-denomina-tional
students.
Attends National Convention in
Cincinnati
"Technocracy has not created much
stir among leading economists and
sociologists," reports Raymond V.
Bowers, professor of Economics here,
after attending the national conven-tions
of the American Sociologists
Society, the American Economics As-sociation,
and the American Statistical
Association, all held at Cincinnati,
Ohio, during the holiday recess.
"Perhaps the greatest value of tech-nocracy",
Mr. Bowers said in effect,
'will lie in teaching business men
that such a thing as social science
exists; and in impressing upon them
the fact that politics, business, and
education will need radical reforma-
Lion and improvement in order to keep
up with the technological progress of
our times. It is unfortunate, however,
that social science has such an in-adequate
spokesman. The part of
technocracy that sounds good was not
produced by the technocrats but by
the sociologists and their fellow social
scientists. The part that sounds a
little dubious was produced by the
technocrats themselves, and has not
as yet been backed up by the facts
they are supposed to have collected.
Until these data are published we will
not be able to check on the validity of
:he conclusions supposedly derived
from them. A little knowledge is of-ten
a dangerous thing—and many of
;he leading social scientists in Amer-ica
are afraid that this applies to
technocracy."
Girls More Courteous Than Boys,
Book Store Manager Observes
Bergfalk Finds Contacts With
Students Interesting
"The book-store at Bethel is a good
place to study the various traits of
character in the student life at
Bethel" says the well-known manager
of the liook-store, Floyd Bergfalk. One
trait of character which is constantly
being revealed concerns courtesy. This
is demonstrated clearly when books,
paper, and other supplies are being
bought. The book-store has for its
policy, "First come, first served", and
the manager tries, as far as possible,
to observe this rule.
Many of the young men at Bethel,
however, do not observe this rule.
Impatience, rowdyism, and lack of
courtesy are evidenced daily when this
particular class of young men is ob-served.
There are many other splen-did
young men at Bethel who are
perfect gentlemen. If they are there
first, and by right have the privilege
of being served first, they will gladly
relinquish their place in line and let
a young lady be served first. This
act of courtesy is to be commended.
"Girls", observes Floyd further,
"are more courteous, on the whole,
than boys." Whether they are because
they are the gentler sex, or because
they are more patient has not been
fully determined.
Another matter of interest to be
noted is that the book-store is a place
of business, not a place for social
gatherings, nor a dump, where candy-wrappers,
waste paper, and' such
things are to be deposited.
The manager wishes to express his
appreciation of those who have ob-served
the rules of courtesy and clean-liness
so faithfully, and also wishes
to remind others that it pays to be
polite.
Nearly Half of 51000 Pledged.
Pledges amounting to $473 have
been received thus far as a result of
the Loyalty Movement launched by
the students shortly before Home-coming
Day. Already $161.70 of the
amount has been paid, according to
the latest report from the financial
secretary.
Influenced by the spirit of sacrifice
prevalent since the movement began,
many of the students have given up
much for the sake of Bethel.
Directly after the first mass meet-ing
was dismissed, a student brought
in the first gift of one dollar. The
next morning an Academy student
contributed 815. Another student,
just before Christmas, brought in a
gift she had received for herself, a
two and a half dollar gold piece.
Among the gifts recently received
were ten dollars from an organization
of the Leenthrop Swedish Baptist
Church and $2.50 from friends in
Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Fifty-six
Bethel Loyalty banks have been dis-ributed
among the students and
friends of the school.
It is expected that even greater re-sults
will be obtained during the re-mainder
of the drive, which will end
February 15, 1933.
Students Appropriate
Halliburton Methods
"Hitch-hike" Proves Interesting to
Cadillac Boys
Despite the severe weather and the
equally cold prospects for hitch-hikers,
Frank Kruger and Richard Paulson,
Seminary students. hitch-hiked to
their homes in Cadillac, Michigan, for
the Christmas holidays.
Mr. Paulson made the trip in less
than two days, establishing a record
that will be difficult to beat. Leaving
Bethel on Friday, December 16. he
was given a ride to Milwaukee, Wis-consin,
where he took a boat across
the lake to Ludington; a short dis-tance
from there, he met an acquain-tance
from Cadillac, who gave him a
"lift" for the remainder of the dis-tance.
He reached home Saturday
night.
Mr. Kruger left school on Monday.
Dec. 19, but did not arrive home until
Thursday. "I enjoyed the scenery".
he said, "but Dick enjoyed the speed!"
His prolonged journey afforded him a
variety of interesting experiences
along the way. Both boys enjoyed
the "hike" and expect to repeat it in
the future.
The other members of the Cadillac
group. Hartley Osterlund and Lillian
Kardell, motored home, accompanied
by Leslie Johnson; the five Bethelites
represented the school in several
meetings during their visit, which cul-minated
in more than twenty conver-sions
at the last service, on New
Year's' Day.
A Capella Chorus Organized
An a capella chorus composed of
about twenty students has recently
been organized under the direction of
Professor Hultgren. The members of
this chorus are very much benefited
by the personal help and criticism
which the director gives. He is in-terested'
in the vocal development of
each individual.
Under the capable leadership of
Professor Hultgren together with the
cooperation of Professor Bergman at
the piano there is fair promise that
this chorus will develop into a musical
unit of which Bethel may be justly
proud.
Interest in Loyalty Movement
Reported
Accident Causes Day's Delay.
To spend three weeks in the East,
vacationing with families and friends,
and speaking for Bethel at every op-portunity
was the privilege of six
Bethelites during the Christmas holi-days.
The boys, Carl Holmberg,
Philip Backstrom, Bror Lundgren,
Henning Landstrom, Dave Guston and
Bud Berglund, motored to the coast,
stopping en route at Chicago and at
Warren, Pennsylvania.
The only mishap of the trip, the
overturning of the car, provided an
interesting experience in the stay at a
poverty-stricken home near James-town,
Pennsylvania. "Impressions
here," said the boys, "were of abject
poverty,—a family dressed in filthy
rags standing in the shadow of a
flickering oil lamp; depressing odors.
We sat in a circle around a glowing
wood stove, and thus spent the night,
recalling how in Europe during the
Middle Ages tourists were robbed and
murdered at wayside inns."
After a day of recuperation, the
group proceeded eastward.
Represent Bethel in Churches
Each of the boys had an opportunity
to bring greetings from Bethel and
to advertise the Loyalty Movement in
several Chicago churches as well as
in churches in the East. While in
Chicago, Sunday, December 18, Back-strom
spoke at the Ravenswood
church and at the Northtown Mission.
Holmberg also spoke there at the
Young People's service. Lundgren
and Guston visited the Lakeview and
Edgewater churches where they sang
and brought greetings. Landstrom
spoke in Swedish at the Edgewater
church in the morning, and in English
in the evening. Berglund talked to
the Edgewater Sunday School in the
morning and preached at the First
Church in the evening. All report
that a favorable attitude toward
Bethel was manifest in all churches
visited. "We were royally received
and entertained while in Chicago, and
were very much encouraged by our
visit there."
While in the East, Landstrom, Gus-ton,
Backstrom and Holmberg took
active part in services in their home
churches. Lundgren spoke at Sche-nectady,
and Berglund, who visited
with relatives in Margate City, near
Atlantic City, preached in the Swedish
Baptist churches in Brooklyn and in
New York. "The Brooklyn and New
York churches very cordially received
the `Bethelite' ", he reports. "They
send greetings to Bethel, faculty,
students and friends."
All the boys say that where Bethel
is known, there is interest and con-cern
for its welfare. They feel that
if there is a lack of interest and a
spirit of indifference in any of these
churches it is because they are not
sufficiently acquainted with t h e
school. The consensus of opinion is
that the contacts made during the
trip will be of great benefit to the
Institute.
Literary Society Provides
Old-Fashioned Fun
A sleigh-ride party, sponsored by
the Alpha Beta Society, was enjoyed
by a group of about twenty-five
students on Saturday night, January
7. Miss Paleen, as chaperon, added
much to the pleasure of the evening.
The group left school at eight o'clock,
and after a two-hour ride along Ham-line
Avenue, returned to school for
refreshments. More merriment was
created when each one was asked to
wash his own dishes.

The New Year
It is hard to realize that during the concen-tration
of interest in the fast-moving events of
the school year, another semester has slipped
away. Whether the past months are now con-templated
with rejoicing because of the achieve-ments
that have been realized, or with regret
because of the opportunities that have been lost
makes little difference ; for the new semester will
soon begin, and time does not pause to consider
the past.
The new year holds forth glorious prospects
for Bethel and the Bethel Family. The renewed
and deepened sense of spiritual responsibility, and
of the spiritual possibilities as well, has brought
us nearer to the One who can assure strength
and success to His children. The degree of suc-cess
to be attained by our school will be, we feel,
the direct relation to the depth of the spiritual
life of each individual student.
Upon constant prayer—upon our obedience to
the command to "pray without ceasing"—will de-pend
the growth of Bethel and the advancement
of the kingdom during the new year.
Debating
In a Christian Institution where young men
are preparing to become public speakers forensics
should be encouraged. To debate well requires a
logical mind, argumentative skill, and a proper
choice of words. These things are obtainable
only through training and experience. Bethel
offers, to all interested (and many should be vital-ly
interested), a course where these things may
be gained—in the Debating Society. Ministerial
students and others who expect to engage in pub-lic
speaking will find it to their advantage to
associate themselves with this organization.
There is sufficient talent in Bethel to enable our
school to become well-known in forensic circles,
if we will cooperate in the activities of the debat-ing
club.
Progress
We believe that as a medium of school news
and Institute communication, the Clarion has
been, this year more than ever before, the object
of much observation both from within the school
and by those outside who are particularly inter-ested
in Bethel. With the, cooperation of the
students and faculty, the staff has put forth every
effort to so conduct its publication as to merit the
respect of its readers and to make the Clarion a
work of real journalistic value.
In consideration of this purpose, the Clarion
has accepted, with the consent of the faculty, the
invitation to membership in the Columbia Schol-astic
Press Association — a national society of
high journalistic standards and splendid reputa-tion.
This membership entitles the Clarion to
participation in the annual national school pub-lication
contest conducted by the association for
its members.
It is our opinion that this is a step forward
in the development of our school journal, and we
ask your support in attaining the highest possible
honor in the association.
Who's Who
Gustaf Arvid Gordh, Th. D.
It is twenty-seven years ago since
Dr. Arvid Gordh, one of the foremost
Bible teachers of our denomination,
first came to Bethel. It was in the
fall of 1905 that Dr. Gordh, as prin-cipal,
opened the first classes of Bethel
Academy. He left Bethel in 1912 to
become pastor of the church at Brock-ton,
Mass. and later of the First
church in New York City. In 1922
he accepted the call to become Dean
of the Bethel Theological Seminary,
succeeding our venerable Dr. Carl G.
Lagergren. Although Dr. Gordh re-signed
as dean in 1926, he has con-tinued
as professor of Bible, Greek,
and Exegetic Theology, a position for
which his natural endowments and
training make him eminently fitted.
Dr. Gordh received his early training
in the Gordon Bible College, the Uni-versity
of Chicago Divinity School,
Bethelseminariet, Stockholm, Sweden,
Newton Theological Institution, and
the Southern Baptist Theological
Seminary.
Dr. Gordh, as teacher and friend, is
loved and highly respected by all his
students. During all these years,
scores of students have listened eager-ly
to Dr. Gordh's expositions of the
Word of God. The Bible has become
a new book to them as he lovingly has
pointed out the depths and wonders
of this treasure storehouse, so dear
to his own heart.
Courtesy
At a meeting of army officers dur-ing
the Civil War, one of them began
to relate a questionable story, remark-ing
as if to excuse his lack of good
taste, that he believed there were "no
ladies present." General Grant, who
was acting as chairman of the meet-ing,
remarked, "No, but there are gen-tlemen"—
and he refused to allow the
officer to continue the story. This
won for General Grant the respect of
every man present.
Learn to conform to the established
customs. Find out what is correct,
and make it a practice to do that cor-rect
thing always, in private as in
public; so it becomes natural and in-stinctive
for you to do it—as simple
as saying "Good morning." That will
give you poise and confidence. It will
make you sure of yourself. You will
be able to forget about the details of
conduct and devote yourself to your
manner—to the enfoldment and en-richment
of your personality.
—Lillian Eichler.
"There is always a best way of
doing everything . . . Manners are the
happy way of doing things; each, once
a stroke of genius or of love, now
repeated and hardened into usage.
They form at last a rich varnish with
which the routine of life is washed
and its details adorned."
—Emerson.
"The 'typical American' is honest
and sincere, with a sense of the true
values in people and a friendly, cour-teous
attitude toward everyone."
—Eichler.
The Book Corner
By H. C. Wingblade
Thinking is admittedly the hardest work in the world,
and yet who would not be a great thinker ? A most re-freshing
and indeed a most thought-provoking book came
out recently from the pen of Ernest Dimnet: THE ART
OF THINKING (Simon & Shuster, New York). The book
furnishes pretty well a recipe for the honest soul who
earnestly desires "to think without confusion clearly."
After defining "thinking" as such in a most illuminat-ing
manner, the author proceeds to lay bare the hindrances
to genuine thinking, such as inferiority complex, con-ventional
education, and indeed life itself. Reading, which
should always be helpful, is often demoralizing. Few
people know how to read a newspaper. Everywhere
artificiality kills originality.
But the book is not negative; it is positive. There
are at our disposal helps to thought, around us and within
us. There are moments of great inspiration which come
to all. Lay hold, lay hold. Dip back into the freshness
of childhood. Each of us may yet do creative thinking.
Yes, each may do creative writing. Be yourself. Find
yourself. Literary production is possible to all.
The book, as a whole, is rather fascinating. The orig-inal
way in which the author stirs his message into the
mind of the reader shows that he practices his own recipe.
The book is on the reserve. shelf.

Much Ado . .
An Observation
In the last "Much Ado" column there was a letter
concerning the chapel hour. This letter asked why the
chairs could not be put up early on Wednesdays for the
Seminary and B. and M. T. groups instead of making all
that noise during the time that should be quiet and holy.
There may be an explanation to this. In the first
place the chairs have always been up on Wednesdays,
which is the regular joint-chapel day, but on other days
the chapel care-takers may not know when the Seminary
and B. and M. T. groups are coming over until chapel
hour when the said groups are ready to sit down and find
nothing to sit on. In this case the chairs must be put up
in the last minutes, when no time can be wasted; con-sequently
there is plenty of noise with the folding chairs.
—A Student.
(Editor's note: This matter has been referred to the
Chapel committee and we trust that the confusion will be
eliminated.)
A Good Idea
How would it be to list in the Clarion the class officers
of the various departments ? Many have wondered who
is who in various departments.
—Just a Suggestion.
And Another
"What shall I do with my life ?" is a question that
every young person must face at some time; and the
wisdom of his or her choice depends upon a wide knowl-edge
of the opportunities open in various vocations. Why
not have a vocational lecture during chapel service some
time. for the mutual benefit of those students who are
seeking a life-work ?
—Ambitious.

Days of Remembrance
"It is a night to be much observed --Exodus 12:42.
There are days and days. As we look back upon the year
which has just passed. no doubt there are, for all of us,
some days which stand out in our recollections more
vividly than others. Some of these may be Red Letter
days. days that we shall always recall with delight : others
may be days that we would gladly forget if we could.
The night when Israel was redeemed by the blood on
the doorposts was a night, Moses says. to be much ob-served
unto the Lord. - Indeed. it was a time so worthy
of honor that it became to them the beginning of their
New Year. And each New Yeur since that time has, for
the Jew. been consecrated by being - much observed unto
the Lord. - Year after year the Feast of the Passover has
stirred the Jewish heart to a remembrance of God's good-ness
and power.
God grunt that we may live so close to Him that
there shall be many days in the year of 1933 which we
shall always be glad to recall. and which we shall pri-vately
commemorate. in retrospection. as days of special
blessings. days which may indeed be "much observed unto
the Lord.-

BETHEL SEXTET SWINGS INTO Academy Defeats Minnehaha in St. Paul Luther Triumphs
ACTION
Bethel's hockey team started its
season last Weanesciay with a long
scrimmage on the Como rink. Thir-teen
candidates have signed up to
play, with good men for all the posi-tions,
including a heavy defense line
with kosacker, a 200 pounder, and
Lindor and Merrill, both big enough
to take on all comers. The forward
line will probably be chosen from E.
Backlund, Osterlund, Jackson, Paul-son,
Boylan, Larson, Sorley, and Wess-man,
with Norsted in the nets. A
tentative schedule is being worked out
which will call for about ten games,
the first game to be the latter part of
this week. This schedule will prob-ably
include several night games to
be played in St. Paul and Minneapolis.
The team will also have regular prac-tice
on the Bethel rink as soon as it
is worked into shape. Until then the
team will practice every other day at
Como.
ACADEMY BOWS TO
MINNEAPOLIS VOCATIONAL
Led by a sharp shooting center and
a "dead eye" forward, Vocational
High of Minneapolis took the Acad-emy
boys to the cleaners to the tune
of 13 to 21. Both teams were prob-ably
playing the worst kind of basket-ball
that has been seen on a ,high
school floor. The purple and gold
boys from Vocational were a shade
the worse, although they won the
game. They made about one-half of
one percent of the baskets they tried
for, standing under the basket and
practicing the old saying, "try, try,
again." The Bethel boys were bad on
their defense, many of the boys hav-ing
trouble watching their man,
especially Tasker, Dickau, and Tan-quist.
Dickau supplied the humor
of the game by falling flat on the
floor while trying to dribble the ball.
On the offensive the team wasn't
much better; Tanquist, who was put
in as a substitute, didn't seem to want
to pass the ball, but held it until he
lost it to the opposition. Koch was
the only man in the forward line who
seemed to get anywhere, dropping
two buckets for field goals and three
free shots. Hoffman at left forward
played a stellar game against the
fastest man on the opposite team,
Kochan who was held down to three
baskets by the close watch of Hoff-man.
Wallin at center, one of the
usual stars of the game, was slightly
off form, scoring only one basket.

Bethel Swamps Athletic
Club Team, 29-5
After suffering a one-sided defeat to
Mechanics the week previous, the
members of the team played an in-spired
game to take the victory from
their rivals. Bethel outplayed the
Athletic Club Team in every phase of
the game, and it was evident from the
start what the outcome would be.
Koch and Wallin furnished the fire-works
during the first half, scoring
13 points. The second half uncovered
some beautiful defensive play on the
part of Cliff Dickau. The boys played
a clean game, only five fouls being
called.
Junior College Loses to
Luther College Team
The touring Luther College team
defeated our inexperienced Junior
College team last Friday evening by
a score of 31 to 16.
The Bethel boys who were playing
their first conference game, show
great promise of developing into a
threat for the Conference champion-ship
with a little more grooming. It
was a fast wild game, and many fouls
which were not called were made by
both sides. Earl Widen, captain of
,he Bethel team, took a bad spill when
ne was trying for a followup shot.
The Luther team seemed to have an
easy lead in the first half, but the
3ethel team was the better of the two
in the second half, although they lack-ed
co-operation, and tried for much in-
_iividual scoring.

College Five Stages
Battle Against Odds
Bethel College bowed to a strong
First Baptist team and lost, 17 to
22. The game was witnessed by a
large Homecoming crowd of students
and Alumni who were well satisfied
with the first appearance of the col-lege
team. The boys showed much
fight for their first game. Holding
the visitors to a close tie in the first
part of the game, the Bethel boys
finally wilted under a barrage of shots
as the visitors got into their stride.
This barrage was led by Siorea, who
caged three field goals and three free
throws, dropping them in from all
angles and distances. The other goals
were divided evenly among the rest
of the team. Brilliant as were the
champions, the college boys matched
them with a fighting spirit that it
seemed might prevail against the bril-liant
shooting of the opponents. The
boys in red showed good form in the
first half but were outplayed by the
faster Polish boys in the second half.
The main cog of the College machine
was Widen, whose fast floor work,
coupled with fine shooting, made him
the central figure in the game. The
red jackets' scoring was done mostly
by Captain Widen of the college team
and Koch, the Academy co-captain,
Widen accounting for three field goals
and one free throw, and Koch two
field goals and two free throws.
Although the Bethel boys were beat-en
there was nothing to indicate that

Opening Game
Coach Nelson's newest Bethel
basketball team made its debut on the
home floor by routing a light but
stubborn Minnehaha team, 20 to 5, as
a small but loyal crowd looked on.
All was not good that this opening
night gathering saw; but neither was
it all bad. The Bethel boys, wild in
shooting and careless in passing,
were hard pressed in the first few
minutes of play by the small invaders
from over the river; but they soon
shook off the bad form and by smooth-er
play, topped by improved shooting,
rapidly pushed the score out of the
Minnehaha team's reach.
The bright spots in the play of the
hcme team were the sterling perform-ances
of two of last year's players:
Tasker, who was a reserve last year,
due . to a foot injury, and Koch, last
year's star forward.
Koch, who was filling the shoes of
Adams, last year's guard, came
through with the best performance of
the evening. His speed and ball han-dling
alone would have made him one
of the evening's best players, but he
likewise proved himself a scoring
power by tossing six field goals and a
free throw to take scoring honors
with a grand total of 13 points.
Tasker, who is much improved over
last year, showed much more speed
and cleverness on the floor, although
he wasted several chances for good
shots by feeding Koch and Wallin.
The other regulars who were also
in the game were Wallin, Dickau, and
Toensing.
The reserves who got in the lineup
were Holmberg and Marvin.

Toensing Stars For Bethel
Friday the thirteenth played havoc
with Bethel as they lost a hard-fought
tilt to Luther. Bethel was at a great
disadvantage, as only six of the play-ers
reported, one of whom has not
been out for practice. The game
started out as a slow affair, until
midway in the first quarter when
Koch, star guard, sunk a gift shot
and a field goal and a beautifully exe-cuted
long shot. Shortly following
this the Bethel defense cracked, giving
Luther opportunity to score three field
goals. As the teams left the floor at
he half, Bethel was at the short end
of a 7-5 score.
After the second half had pro-gressed
a few minutes Clarence
Toensing came through with two field
goals in rapid order, which knotted
the score at 9 all. Then Cliff Dickau
converted a free throw which gave
Bethel a one point advantage. This
lead, however, was soon relinquished
when Halvorsen and Chelgren of
Luther scored field goals, ending the
scoring for the evening. Toensing,
with six points, was high point man
in the game.

School News
Bethel students have been active in
preaching and singing at the Bethel
Swedish Baptist Church of Minne-apolis
and at the Swedish Salvation
Army, St. Paul. At the Bethel church,
John Anderson, Birger Swenson, and
Henning Landstrom preached the
Word; and Vern Wessman and Victor
Johnson furnished instrumental music
at one of the services. Other Bethel-ites
assisting at these services were
Nathan Esselstrom and Robert Kling-berg.
At the Salvation Army the Gospel
message was delivered by Nathan
Esselstrom, Arthur Hedlund, Aleck
Olson, Birger Swenson, and Victor
Shirling. Music was furnished by
Floyd Bergfalk, Bror Lundgren, Ruby
Carlson, Alice Schmoldt, Lillian Kar-dell,
Leslie Johnson, Vern Wessman,
Victor Johnson, Robert Klingberg, and
Marian Berglund.
William Swan, a graduate of the
Academy in 1929, and former student
at the Seminary, is now enrolled at
the Dunwoody Institute, Minneapolis,
taking a course in electrical engineer-ing.
Nimrod Rodelius and Harold Lind-quist,
former Bethelites, visited here
last week. They flew in from Will-mar
in an hour's time in Nimrod's
plane.
Mrs. Swedberg spent the holidays
with the Rev. Mr. Carl Levin, pastor
of Roseland church in Chicago. She
also visited some friends in Evanston.
We take this means of congratulat-ing
Grace Norstrom, B. and M. T.
graduate, class of '32 and Mr. Sanford
Ricker, class of '30, who were married
Dec. 29th in Portland, Maine. We
wish them joy and happiness.
Academy Senior Class
Many seniors have been seen wear-ing
their graduation rings. Of course,
in their opinions they are the best
looking rings ever.
The humorous happenings in the
English IV class continue: Prof. H. C.
Wingblade gave a list of Scott's books
to the class one day. He said he
liked Scott's "Emulsion" best because
that contained cod-liver oil vitamin.
We, as a student body, wish to take
this' opportunity and means of con-gratulating
Joyce Sheldon on the
changing of her name to Mrs. Irving
Ashton. May all her joys be full,
complete, and lasting in the future
years.
THE INQUISITIVE REPORTER
(Answers to the question have come
from students chosen at random, one
from each department of the school;
and from one member of the faculty.)
"Upon what, in your opinion, does
the success of the Bethel Loyalty
Movement depend?"
Seminary Student:
"It depends first upon our conse-cration
and real spiritual desire for
a school where God is supreme; then,
upon our willingness to really sacri-fice
and work prayerfully."
Junior College Student:
"It depends upon my attitude of
heart, as an individual, toward God
and the 'House of God'; and upon my
willingness to receive the burden of
responsibility."
Academy Student:
"I believe that it depends upon our
reaching those people who are able
and willing to aid Bethel but are not
aware of the existent conditions."
Bible and Missionary Training School:
"In my estimation, it depends upon
maintaining the flame of Christian
and school loyalty in the heart of each
member of the Bethel family."
Faculty Member:
"It depends upon three things:
First, a whole-hearted consecration of
the entire school, so as to give God
a chance to work through us. 'With-out
me ye can do nothing.' Second,
hard work, a spirit of sacrifice, will-ingness
to let the Lord have the five
loaves and the two fishes. Third,
prayer without ceasing."
ALUMNI NEWS
1900
Dr. Emil Friborg, graduate of our
Seminary, who has so successfully
served the . First Swedish Baptist
Church at Seattle for over twenty
years, declined his recent call to
Bridgeport, Conn. This' decision was
received with great joy by the mem-bers
of the Seattle church.
1909
Rev. Nels Soneson is busily en-gaged
in Kingdom service, having
charge of three churches in and near
Cook, Minnesota. He sends his greet-ings
with these words: "I shall always
thank God for days spent in our
school and do all I can to further its
God-given mission."
It was a pleasure to see Stewart
Segerstrom at Bethel during Home-coming.
Mr. Segerstrom is employed
as grain accountant at the Pillsbury
Flour Mills, Minneapolis.
Clara Granbeck Johnson is still en-thusiastic
about her Alma Mater. In
a letter she expressed her wishes to
be remembered to the class of 1909.
She proudly states that she has five
daughters. Dorothy, the oldest, is 19
years old. Mrs. Johnson is located in
Driscoll, No. Dak.
A. A. Ericson, another member of
the illustrious class of 1909, is located
in Marquette, Michigan. He, as well
as other members of this class, speak
of the pleasant memories of Bethel.
How about accepting Mr. Ericson's
suggestion for a 1909 reunion at
Bethel in 1934? Mr. Ericson extends
his best wishes particularly to the
class of 1909 and to all fellow alumni.
The Class of 1909 is indeed, for-tunate
in havin ,, such a worthy repre-sentative
as Professor Norstrom at
Bethel. This provides a most excel-lent
contact between the early classes
and their Alma Mater.

WHAT'S IN A NAME
Knudslien
Some characteristic or name of the
place where a farmer in Norway lived,
often gave him his name. Many
centuries ago a man named Knute
went up on a hillside to live. "Lien"
meaning "hillside", and "Knute" being
his name, he was soon called "Knute
by the hillside" or "Knutes Lien"
which was later changed to Knudslien.
Sabel
Sabel literally translated from the
Swedish language means "sword",
and was given to Miss Sabel's great-grandfather
after he fought in the
Napoleonic Wars.
