Alumni Directory
of 1500 Completed
Miss Larson Editor
An Alumni Directory has been
prepared under the direction of
Miss Larson. It contains the
names, occupation (if known), ad-dress,
and time of graduation of
all alumni of Bethel, including all
departments which exist or have
existed as part of Bethel Institute.
The directory has two main di-visions
: one in which the alumni
are listed by years according to the
class in which they graduated, and
the other in which they are listed
alphabetically. All of the approxi-mately
1500 graduates are thus
listed, and cross references enable
anyone to find immediately any
graduate, married or single.
The directory will be issued at a
cost of twenty-five cents to all
alumni.

Hoglund Recieves "B"
In Extemp Argument
Participating in one of the fore-most
speech contests in the coun-try,
the annual Red River Valley
tournament, held January 6-8,
Bethel debate teams came through
with a commendable showing.
With some thirty-five schools tak-ing
part, Bethel was one of the
two Junior Colleges represented;
the other thirty-three being four-year
colleges.
Beginning Thursday evening and
ending late Saturday night, the
contests kept everyone busy from
beginning to end. Debate, ora-tory,
discussion, poetry reading,
extempore speaking, extemporane-ous
argument, and radio, speaking
were events in which the students
competed. Sioux Falls College,
which is well known to most Beth-elites,
captured sweepstakes hon-ors,
while St. Olaf won the debate
title.
Bethel's two debate teams won
four out of twelve debates against
such teams as Sioux Falls, and
Chadrou College of Nebraska.
Some of our students ranked high
in other events. Gunnar Hoglund
placed 13th in the extemporaneous
argument finals, and Miriam Jo-hanson
did well in the girl's extem-pore
contest.
Upon returning from the trip the
Bethel contestants were all agreed
that the experience gained from
these contests was invaluable. The
experience of meeting and learning
to know students from all parts of
the Northwest proved to be valu-able
also. Particularly will the con-testants
remember the kind hospi-

Spire Production
Quickens Tempo
Work on the 1941 Spire, reports
Elving Anderson, editor, is now be-ginning
in earnest. Contracts for
printing, engraving, and binding
are under consideration at the
present time and will be concluded
very shortly. Within the next few
weeks, production will be assigned
to a definite schedule. Both the
editorial and the business staffs
are hard at work trying to make
this year's Spire a vitally interest-ing
portrayal of Bethel life.
Cleveland Quintet
Presents Program
The Cleveland Colored Quintette,
a group of colored musicians, pre-sented
a program of song and testi-mony
in the Junior College Chapel
recently.
This quintette, organized twenty
years ago, has traveled throughout
the United States and Canada, and
has sung in many foreign coun-tries.
While in St. Paul they are en-gaged
in a series of meetings in
the Simpson Memorial Church.
They will be there until February
24.
Alexis Program Presents
Baptist Historic Background
Wednesday evening, February
12, the Alexis Literary Society held
its first meeting of the new semes-ter.
The topic of the evening was
"We, the Swedish Baptists."
Musical numbers added to the
interest of the program. Grace
Swanson and Miriam Johanson
sang two duets, and a string band
consisting of Dale Bjork, William
Hagstrom, and Truman Halvorsen
played two Swedish songs.
An extemporaneous speech by
William Hagstrom on the subject
of "Helpful Suggestions for the
Creation of a Friendlier Spirit in
our Swedish Baptist Churches"
was very well presented. The
speaker found little to criticize in
the services themselves, but he be-lieves
that the reception of stran-gers
into our midst should be
warmer, and that every newcomer
should be made to feel welcome.
The keynote of the entire pro-gram
was that Christ and His
death on the cross is the central
theme of Swedish Baptists.
The voice of Swedish Baptists
was divided into three depart-ments,
each of which was present-ed
by student speakers. The edu-cational
work of the denomination
was presented by Virgil Olson. He
gave a brief historical sketch of
Bethel Institute, told of its value
Seventy-five Join
Four Gospel Units
Four new Gospel teams have
been organized this second semes-ter,
for the purpose of spreading
the Gospel of Christ. The new
team leaders are: Stanford Widen,
Bob Dischinger, Archie Johnson,
and Kenneth Norquist. There are
about seventy-five students who
are members of the Gospel teams.
The teams will make visits
to out-of-town churches almost
every week-end this semester.
They have already begun this
work.
The teams have made visits to
the Linnea Home, West Side Mis-sion,
Union Gospel Mission and to
several churches in the Twin Cities
this semester. This week the Gos-pel
teams will visit the First Swed-ish
Church, in St. Paul, the Union
Gospel Mission and the Linnea
Home.
to the denomination in supplying
ministers and missionaries who
have spread the Gospel to thou-sands
of lost and dying sinners
throughout the world, and said that
because we owe so much to our
schools, "The Heart of the Denomi-nation,"
we should remember them
in our prayers and in our giving.
Seminary students should be espe-cially
thankful to the denomina-tion,
for Swedish Baptists spend
an average of $500 per year per
seminary student.
Raynold Appelquist surveyed the
publications department of the
Swedish Baptist General Confer-ence.
He gave the background and
history of The Standard and the
Sunday School publications issued,
and he stressed the fact that every
one of our churches should adopt
the budget plan by which every
family of every church will become
a subscriber to The Standard. If
this plan could be carried out,
there would be no need for the
$3500 the Conference has to expend
each year for the publications de-partment.
Drury Miller gave an interesting
account of our foreign and home
missions. Eighty-three Bethel
graduates have gone to foreign
missionary fields. The challenge
for service of young people, he
said, is especially great in Canadi-an
fields.
Dr. Hagstrom summed up the
work of our conference as a whole.

Twenty-eight voices in song
To Spread Bethel Fame
Again this year the Bethel Male
Chorus is working in preparation
for their annual spring tour. For
a number of years the fame of
Bethel has been spread in various
parts of the United States through
means of word and song by our
male chorus. The 1941 tour will
not be as extended as the tour last
year which took the chorus east
to the Atlantic Seaboard, but will
be centered in the region about
Chicago, Moline, and Davenport.
The male chorus at present has
two practices as a group every
week. They practice every Thurs-day
under the direction of their
leader, Mr. Hultgren; and they
also practice every Tuesday eve-ning
under Gordon Peterson's di-rection.
Sections of the chorus
practice several times during the
week in school hours learning
words and notes.
Before the trip is made several
changes will probably be made in
the membership, but at present
there are twenty-eight members.
These are:
First Tenors:
Virgil Olson, Gordon Peterson,
Gordon Larson, Carl Holmberg,
Lawrence Nydegger, Melvin Lun-deen,
and Warren Johnson.
Second Tenors:
Francis McOlash, Dale Bjork,
Maurice Valine, Lloyd Thompson,
Warren Magnuson, Elving Ander-son,
and Earl Sherman.
First Basses:
John Valine, Carl Lundquist, Al-rick
Bloomquist, Robert Paulson,
and Truman Halvorson.
Second Basses:
'Robert Perrin, Hilton Hanson,
Nelton Friesonberg, Merriam 01--
son, Sidney Larson, Paul Ander-son,
Jack Bergeson, and Gene Ny-man.

Vito/dal Meditation Debaters Bring Fire,
Cold, Quads to Fargo
Six forensics students recently
journeyed to Fargo, N.D., by way of
the Northern Pacific Railway. Aft-er
riding a little while, five of us
adventurpus students decided to
see the scenery. After we had
stumbled through nine or ten cars,
opening and closing heavy doors
until we reached the observation
car, we found that it was blowing
and snowing so hard that we could
not see anything. Thursday night
we froze so much waiting for the
bus to take us back to Fargo from
Moorhead that we wished that we
had our red flannels. Miss Platts
claimed that she saw something
hanging underneath Dale's trous-ers.
Then came the light! Dale
had gotten the best of the cold
weather. He had worn his pajamas
under his suit.
However, we weren't all as
smart as Dale so we tried to cope
with the situation by drinking some
hot chocolate in the "Golden Maid"
cafe, which burned down four hours
later.
Perhaps you think that we
brought only bad luck to Fargo,
but the day that we arrived quad-ruplets
were born. You can call
that what you like, but I can as-sure
you that both the fire and the
birth of the quads will go down in
the history of Fargo.
We met some very nice young
people on the trip. Ask Miriam if
you don't believe it. For instance
on Friday night when we were go-ing
to go home we found that Miss
Platts had already gone home. You
ask "how ?1' We did too. Well,
draw your own conclusions. That
same night we couldn't find Mir-iam
either. A little while later,
however, she did show up—with
two boys from Sioux Falls. So you
see Bethel really rates!
One night one of the women got
a sudden inspiration to call up the
boys. She asked them if they were
the men who washed, and they
said "No." She answered, "you
dirty things." Evidently the boys
took her seriously for the next
night they took a bath about
12:30 a.m. and they let the whole
hotel know about it, so that that
mistake wouldn't be made again.
We had a very nice time at the
party 'which Mrs. Fossum gave for
us on Saturday. Ask Gunnar about
it sometime—waffles and all!
Frosh Prepare
J. S. Banquet Plans
Freshman class officers are mak-ing
the arrangements for the Jun-ior-
Senior Banquet to be held in
the Coffman Memorial Union at
the University, Campus. The date
set for the banquet is May 25.
The executive committee is as
follows: Bob Dischinger, Roland
Gustafson, Harriet Anderson, Her-bert
McDonald, and William Adam,
advisor.
Herbert McDonald was recently
elected treasurer pro tem to take
the place of Russell Taft, who is
still convalescing in Midway Hos-pital,
following his accident.
The story is told of the garden-er
who received a rare rose plant
from a friend in the old country.
Carefully he planted the rose in
the shelter of the high stone wall
that separated the mansion of his
master from the bungalow in which
lived a lame lad and his widowed
mother.
Day after day the experienced
gardener painstakingly cared for
lids prized rose bush. At first it
thrived but after a few weeks, al-though
its roots seemed to spread
and reach down for moisture and
nurture, its twigs remained short
and buds wouldn't develope. He
was about to give up the precious
plant.
Then as he was loosening the
ground around the rose roots he
noticed a healthy shoot which had
crawled into a crevice in the stone
wall. Excitedly he rushed to the
large steel gate, along the sidewalk
and into the yard of the lame lad.
The gardener was enraptured.
There in the warm sunshine sat
MICE and THINGS
By Rodger Rendahl,
A BETHEL GOED'S LAMENT
At sweet sixteen I first began to
ask my daddy for a man;
At seventeen you may recall I
asked for someone rather tall;
At twenty I thought that I would
find Romance in someone with a
mind;
I retrogressed at twenty-one, I
thought that college boys were
fun;
My viewpoint changed at twenty-two,
I asked for someone who'd
be true;
I broke my heart at twenty-three
and asked for someone kind to
me;
I begged a blasé at twenty-four for
one who would not be a bore;
Nov, daddy, that I am twenty-five,
the lame lad in his wheelchair ad-miring
a gorgeous rose of richest
hues.
As the boy noticed the gardener
he looked up at him with a mel-lowed
smile and stammered, "Isn't
it wonderful? I guess God must
have planted it. It just grew
there."
That night a gardener went to
bed with a feeling of satisfaction.
A feeling of efforts well rewarded
and long hard hours well payed
for. Unknown to him, God had
planted a rose with mortal hands,
his hands!
When days are dark and all ef-forts
seem fruitless, there is an
eye that sees beyond stone walls.
"And let us not be weary in
well doing: for in due season
we shall reap, if we faint not."
Gal. 6:9.
"Lest i torget, My Lord, remind
me that there is an eternal hand
writing the thoughts of this mind,
the deeds of this body, the devo-tions
of this soul."

Eunice Anderson, having done
quite a bit of sketching and other
art work. evidently has interested
a certain YOUNG MAN in such
cultural pursuits. It has been re-ported
to us that the YOUNG MAN
paid a visit to the Walker Gal-leries.
He and his companion were
looking with critical eyes at the
latest exhibit. Suddenly the
YOUNG MAN, who had left his
glasses at home and was not see-ing
too clearly, cried irritably, "I
say, that there is the worst and
ugliest portrait I ever seen!"
"Come, come," said his gentle
companion soothingly, "You are
looking at yourself in a mirror."

Platts Judges State Meet
"I enjoyed it very much." So
reflected Miss Platts Friday after
she left the hall of Macalester col-lege
where she had been judging
the State College Oratorical con-test
in collaboration with Miss
Melba Hurd (U. of M.) and Miss
Helen Loed (River Falls, Wis.,
Teachers college).
This was the annual state ora-torical
contest in which the four-year,
colleges of the state partici-pate.
There were contestants from

Gustavus Adolphus colleges.

He said the success of our denomi-nation
is that it is like a three-legged
milk stool. Its three legs
are the three departments, and
they have enabled us to stand un-der
all sorts of difficulties. He
said, "One of the secrets of God's
blessing on us is that we are not
three separate corporations. . . .
May we continue thus. . . . Our
great need today is faith first in
God, and then faith in the mission
and vision of our Conference. Trust
in God and all will be well. We
have a glorious future because God
is leading us. . . . Let us remember
we are stewards of God with what
tithes and blessings we have. Pray,
believe, and give, and God will
bless."

Rev. Magnus Berglund, an
alumnus of Bethel Seminary is
pastor of this church and he and
the rest of the church made the
students' stay very enjoyable.
Their kindness made a deep im-pression
on our students. On Sun-day
morning the church asked the
speakers to give a program and
in complying the ladies presented
vocal and piano music, Miss Platts
read Scripture and led in prayer.
Gunnar Hoglund then delivered a
sermon on Galatians 6:9 to a full
Church.
When the Northern Pacific train
left Fargo Sunday afternoon with
seventy-five speech students, and
headed back to St. Paul, each of
our party was grateful for the op-portunity
of representing Bethel in
this way and particularly thankful
for the graciousness of the Fargo
Church in making the stay so en-joyable.

Bethel's hoopsters were over-powered
by a strong Rochester
quint on Saturday, February 8, by
a score of 54-38. The game, played
on the local floor, was a thrill-a-minute
affair for three-quarters of
the distance.
The Indians surprised the visit-ors
by getting off to a fast start.
The local boys had a 15-8 lead at
quarter-time and left the floor at
the half-way mark with the score-board
showing a favorable tally of
24-19. The Bethel defensive was
especially effective as the defend-ing
conference champions collected
only seven field goals in the first
half.
The play in the third quarter was
erratic. Slowly the Rockets forged
ahead as they began finding the
bucket with increasing frequency.
The Swedes tried so desperately
to halt them that Capt. Peterson
and "Shine" Swanson were ejected
from the contest via the personal
foul route. The game ended with
the Red and White trailing 54-38.
Wright, Rochester's all-confer-ence
center, amassed a total of
twenty-three points by dropping in
fourteen in the third quarter alone.
Nyman counted for thirteen points
to high-score for Bethel.

Playing their best defensive
game of the season, the Bethel In-dians
defeated the Albert Lea J. C.
basketball team by a score of 42-30
in a contest played on the local
floor Friday, Feb. 14.
The visiting club boasts victories
over both Rochester J. C. and
Worthington J. C., the two teams
who are, leading in the race for the
conference championship.
Bethel Starts Scoring
There was little scoring in the
first quarter. Nyman dropped the
initial basket to give the Red and
White the lead which they never
relinquished throughout the game.
The score at the end of the first
period was 7-4 with Albert Lea
trailing.
Wessman Sparks Gym
Scoring Average
Teams Evenly Matched
Says Coach Adam
The frosh gym class basketball
teams are virtually tied with only
two weeks of play remaining until
the intramural games begin. Coach
Adam stated that the sophomore
teams were also quite evenly
matched although the Supermen
have won most of the games.
The freshman Cowboys split
with the Plugs at nine victories
each. Willie Wessman holds top
score honors for the ranch hands
with a total of 127 points. Roger
Youngquist, who captains the
Plugs, has collected 109 points.
The Badgers now lead the Goph-ers
by a count of nine victories to
eight. Paul Anderson tops the class
in scoring with a total of 104
points.
The sophomore Supermen have
copped twelve wins while the Dead
End Kids have emerged victor-ious
in only seven contests. Gun-nar
Hoglund, the leaders' ace for-ward,
has garnered 119 points for
the season.
The Indians began to turn on
the pressure in the second
quarter and ran their total to
22 points by the time the gun
sounded. The visitors, unable
to penetrate Bethel's airtight
defense, scored only two field
goals and three free throws to
give them a half-time tally of
seven points.
After the rest period, the home
team returned to the floor deter-mined
to maintain their lead. Their
play was not so brilliant as in the
first half, but just as effective.
The score as the final gun sounded
was 42-30.
Peterson High Point
Capt. Gordon Peterson copped
high-score honors for the evening
by netting five field goals and sev-en
free throws to total seventeen
points. Roger Peterson led the vis-itors
in scoring with a total of sev-en
points.
The Indians did exceptional-ly
well in their attempts from
the black stripe by sinking
twelve of thirteen gift shots.
