THE SE NIOR CLASS N ever before in the history of the school has the Senior Class hac! such a challenge before them.

The world at this time

1S passing through one of the

worst depressions that bas ever been known.

Through the prosperity of the preceding years men became busy amassing wealth and became so self-confident that they forgot the spiritual side of life. This has resulted in much of turmoil and unrest. Hence, the need now is not only the restoring of economic stability, but also the teaching of a Christian philosophy which will give the world pern1anent spiritual values. This task calls for people with a spirit of service. service begins in personal contact with Jesus.

We believe that all true

One cannot know I-lim personally

without catching the warm contagion of His spirit for others.

And there is a

fine fragrance, a gentle, soft warmth about the service that emanates from being with Him.

Wherever the spirit of the Lord Jesus sways the heart, there is a

r)assion to serve. Over half of our class of twenty-nine members are called to the 1111l11stry. These and the remaining members of the class are determined to do active service for humanity. Through the four years of our college work we have tried to learn the lessons of life - of ministering to mankind by bringing love, happiness, and hope into the lives of others - as weJl as to learn the lessons which are found in books. Only as we shall be able to put these lessons into practice, shall we co�sicler our education successful. In any success that we shall attain we shall be indebted to our president, our faculty, our pastor, and oUT sponsor, Mrs. B. M. Hall, for their help during these years of school work.

President Bracken has taught us to apply his history

class lectures and his chapel talks to our every day lives.

He has dealt with

present-day conditions and needs in such a way that he has made us realize the urgent neecl for a turning back to God as the only solution to our problems. Our faith in God, who alone can sol"ve our problems and bring us safely through this present difficulty, is expressed in the words of this poem:

"A Ilew star Was lost ; here U/ e all aspire to heaven ami there is heaven Above us. If I stoop I llio a darli: tremendous sea of cloud I t is but for a tinte ; I press G od's lamp Close to 11'1Y breast ; its splendor soo n or laie, Will pierce the glo01n. I shall emerge some day."
