EDITORIAL

I wish to express my sincere thanks to all who have contributed to this year's Arrow. Without the cooperation, which has been so heartily given, of the faculty, student body, and the loyal staff, this book would have been a failure.

In the 1929 Arrow we have endeavored to portray the school life of this year. It has been written only to be enjoyed.

You may read this now for curiosity's sake, but as you look through its pages, .when it has become a rare keepsake, your me spent in B. P. C. enjoying these as much as you enjoy criticisms today. Then we shall feel that our efforts have not been in vain, and that the duty thrust upon us bas been fulfilled.

Managing Staff

MANAGERIAL

One more school year has come and gone at B. P. C.; one more Arrow has been edited and published However, the accomplishment of such an undertaking requires a tremendous amount of work. It is impossible for me to say too: much for the dependable members of our Staff. Especially do I wish to express my appreciation for my loyal assistant. His faithful service and untiring labors as advertising manager have been invaluable.

The cheerful cooperation of the faculty and student body has also greatly aided in the publication of this Annual. And I wish to thank the business men of Bethany, Yukon, and Oklahoma City for responding so heartily; to our advertising program Without their response, the financial success of the 1929 Arrow would have been impossible.

I wish for the 1930 Business Manager the same degree of cooperation that I have enjoyed.

Junior Class

The Junior Class of 1928-29 have reached another milestone on their journey. Once upon a time, we started from the Land of Ignorance, making a determined effort to be up and out, ridding ourselves of every obstacle that would hinder our progress to the Delectable Land of Knowledge.

We have had difficulty in reaching this important and enviable place-the dignified position of Juniors.

The various milestones have been passed-slowly enough, it seemed to us. High School struggles are now just memories-of battles bravely fought and nobly won. Then came our "Freshie" days when we were so elated within and humiliated without; when the terms "freshman" and "upperclassmen" meant so much to us; the days when we were "dubbed" and "tagged;" when College ways were so beyond our comprehension; lessons so difficult, the grind so irksome.

But we kept on. The next year brought with it the title of "Sophomore," a new outlook and more confidence. The added dignity of one station was like new wine in our veins, and helped us to count off the weary milestones in our terrific attacks on second year subjects. But we breathed easier; we felt as if the combat with so much intangibility was adding something to our mental equipment of far more importance than mere Knowledge. We were facing things more steadily; the grind was not so irksome as formerly.

We have "arrived" in more ways than one. Just ahead the Delectable Land in full view.

We push steadily forward. The hazy atmosphere of strange chemical combinations is clearing up; we understand the language of those with whom we work far better; also the History of the Land is being learned. Best of all, we are becoming l!cquainted with each other. With some of our fellows, it is a never-ending pleasure to explore and travel.

We are now JUNIORS-and are nearing the end. We face clearly the rIsmg sun over the mountains of promise in the long-sought Delectable Land. We shall soon be Seniors. All the struggles forgotten; every inch of the territory covered, measured and explored. We converse fluently in the new tongue learned in our struggles to cover the land.

Surely the Land of Promise beckons invitingly to us.

Next year we shall reach the end of our journey, and possess the land for which we have struggled-the Delectable Land of Knowledge.

Christmas on The San Gabriel

By MARGARET PRICE McCONNELL

It was the twenty-fourth of December, many years ago. An old negro stood near the hen house with a stick in his hand. In one corner of the yard was an ancient goose, craning its neck and hissing at the old man, who was shaking his cane and warning the fowl, "Yo' jes as well shet up, case we-all gwin hab roas' goose fer Chris'mas." His wife was softly singing, "'What kind ob shoes yo' gyine t' wear?" as she deftly dressed two chickens.

For days the getting ready had been going on, yet there was much to do, and every one was hurrying and scurrying, running this way and that. Grandmother was making mince pies: Aunt Faith was hunting up the plum-pudding recipe. Becky had scoured the silver spoons, worn thin with long service, until they shone as bright as the new silver dollars from which they had been made many years ago; neither had the knives and forks been neglected from her ministrations for the coming feast.

In the sitting room the boys were shelling and popping corn, and the pan was almost full of jolly kernels, fat and fluffy. They had worked faithfully at it, even when there had been delectable cake pans to scrape, and raisins to stone in the kitchen. Mother and Aunt Colemen were whispering in the bedroom, and the room smelled of apples. The children were warned away from the pantry, but its shelves were groaning, as if with a sudden attack of rheumatism, and the brown faces of saucy gingerbread men peeped out whenever the doors were left open.

Uncle Sam and old Gyp were ready to start for briar-berries, cedar and mistletoe. Who would go? A shout answered. Caps and hoods were at last found, and they were off

The live oaks glistened in the dull December sun; the "yopons" stood stiff and straight against the sky, with their bright strings of berries ready for the cedars, whieh ranged about like Christmas trees waiting to be dressed, slowly nodding their heads as though saying, "Good will to men."

They cautiously slipped by the "haunted cabin;" a broken skillet, an old greenish bottle, and some ashes near the door were the only signs of former life. Beyond was the path down which the negro baby had wandered until it had become bewildered and lost. Only one small, black, baby hand had been found days afterward, pointing the way the little one had gone.

Further along they saw another family out for a lark at Christmas time, halting now for a moment at the dark, round basin of the spring. There was big, old Grandfather Deer, with his son and their families-seven in all, counting the babies, whose sharp little feet seemed already to feel the tingle of Christmas, as they came gaily bounding to the water's edge.

Silently our travellers slipped by, when, not far away, their attention was called to another band of pleasure-seekers. Fourteen wild turkeys were counted. The leader, alert, cautious, peering this way and that, commanded well his little army, as it marched in file up the hill to the "gobble, gobble, gobble" of the turkey drum . From an overhanging tree grew a bunch of mistletoe, its tran�parent, waxy

(Continued on page 56)

Anyway, They Were There

On the morning of November 22, 1928, I arose a little later than usual, and after dressing hurridly, stumbled down the steps, about two at a time, to the basement to prepare breakfast. When I opened the dining room door, I fairly bumped into Elizabeth, Carol, and Jewell. They weer carrying some pillows under their arms. I looked at them suspiciously, but went on about my business. After they had gone upstairs, I said to myself, "Now, I venture those girls have been up to some meanness. It's a strange thing to me, that foolishness is all they can think about nowadays."

When the time came for Dortha, Emma, and Ruth to put the food on·the tables, they had, wrapped about them like a blanket, a mysterious air that was fairly teaming with mischief. That old tyrant, Curosity, stood at my elbows and kept nudging me until finally, I burst out: "Emma, what in the world are you kids up to?"

"Up to!" she fairly screamed at me, "up to! where have you been? Don't you know that the Freshmen have been trying all night to get their colors on the water tower and flag pole? and don't you know the Upperclassmen have given them a battle royal?"

"Did the Freshmen succeed?" I asked deeply interested, for I was a Freshman."

"Well I should say not." she answered presumptuously.

After breakfast, while I was combing my hair, I heard a noise out in the front that might easily have been taken as coming from an Indian massacre.

I heard a war whoop that completely filled the air; and looking across the campus, I saw the "blue and white" waving gently in the morning breeze on the water tank and flag pole. Ora Mae came running up just then, and she related how Alvis had climbed the pole and tied the colors there, and how Brilhart had brought some old black grease from Joyce's garage and greased it. Ruth came around the corner of the house, and I could tell that she, also, had been in a fight, for she was minus a shoe.

Finally, I thought to look at the top of the dormitory; there, too, the Freshmen colors were waving. Some one told me that they had waved there earlier in the morning, but Bert and John, had managed, somehow, to tear them down. There was no more paper available; so this necessitated the Freshmen sending into the City for more. And soon our colors were waving for the second time on the Girl's Dormitory. I let out such a strong, robust, yell that I surprised m.yself, and was made to wonder at its source.

But my yell was short lived. I soon saw that immediate danger threatened our colors on top of the dormitory. Vivian stood waving them, while Drotha, Ilouise, Mary Nelma, Lucille, and Frances Sue were there with brooms to defend them. Mr. Hoag, an Upperclassman, was slowly but surely making his way to the top. He was even then on top of the arch over the front door. For a moment, I stood paralyzed. Then a water imp came to my rescue and made a suggestion. "Thank you, Mr. Imp." I said, and dashed back into the house. Snatching up a pitcher, I filled it with water, and out again I went. On my way, I had picked up a pint cup. Mr. Hoag saw me preparing for the battle. I threw one cupful but missed him However, he saw there

Good Advice

If you can't exhort 'and preach: Jes' be what you is, If you is just the paddle, Ga'use if you is not what you am, Don't tn! to be the beach. Den yo' am no,t what yo' is, Don't be what YO'u ain't, If you is just a little tadpole, Jes' be what yo is; Don't t1"y to be a frog:

Don't be what YiOU ain't

Cause de man what plays it squctre, If you isiust the ,tail, Am gwine t,o get his; Don't t1"y to waq the dog. It ctin'.t what yo! !vas been, Yiou can alteays pass the plate, It's what yo' '/liGW am is.

Sophomore Class

College is truly an institution of learning, but the subjects are not all taught in the class rooms. Our ideals of life are established while we are in college. Our contact with others in the library, in the halls, on the campus, at chapel and at church, develops Our latent traits of character. W and the students, and by the general atmosphere of the school.

The most enduring friendships are formed in college, and our future is largely determined by the type of friends we choose while we are in college.

It is truly a privilege to be a student in Bethany-Peniel College, where the pervading influence is conducive to spiritual growth and scholastic attainment.

We are glad that we are the class of 1931 in B. P. C. We have an enrollment of thirty members, of which eighty-seven per cent were with us in the Freshmen class. We are well represented in the various activities of the school. We had a class party; we had a share in the class fight between the Freshmen and the Upper-classmen; three members of the Male Quartette are Sophomores; the President and Vice-President of the Student Council are members of our class; the Business Manager of the Arrow Staff and five of his helpers are taken from the Sophomore class.

We were fortunate in securing Mrs. Hester Fisher Peck as our Sponsor. She guided us safely through our Freshman year, and has been our loyal supporter this year. We appreciate her love, counsel, and service

We are glad that Bethany-Peniel College has State accrediting for her four years of college work, as this will enable us to finish our course in this much-loved school

Down through the years, wherever we shall be, you will find us striving to be good neighbors, useful citizens, and an honor to our school; keeping before us our motto, "Climb, Though the Rocks be Rugged."

Some classes glisten, Some boast, and some pass. But none can outshine This Sophomore Class.

Freshnlan Class

In the second year of the reign of King Stephen Solomon White the tribe 1932 came to dwell with the tribes of Bethany on the plains of Oklahoma. Now, in this tribe of 1932 were many warriors (seventy-four in number) of mighty muscles . These did war among the tribes of the Upper Classmen in arts of gymnasium and did triumph over them in keeping their colors flying from the water tower, flag pole, high buildings and many conspicuous places.

We are the College Freshmen, about whom you have heard so much. We came from eight other states of the Union to mingle a few years with the Oklahomans, preparing for the future. Some hail from the sunny South, some from the West, some from the North, some from the East. Some of us are from large cities, others of us from the farm. But we have been melted together in a bond of sympathy, and this tie of understanding has grown stronger as the year has progressed. We have joined OUr hands and hearts, and have stuck together in a common belief that even though we are Freshmen, the Upper Classmen cannot inflict jokes upon us, without receiving a justly deserved punishment. We have matched our wits in class rooms and on the campus; have had carefree times of recreation and learned much that is not written in books.

The motto of our class is, "What we are to be, we are now becoming." This maxim was well chosen, and is verified by the spirit of every member of our class. We, as a class, have put first things first. We try to please OUr Lord, and, secondly, we are seeking an education that we may be of some service to others. We have now passed the first round of this ladder, which many have done by long hours of physical work and the burning of midnight oil to prepare lessons for the tomorrow. The Class of Nineteen and thirty-two has reasons for pride. To mention all would be to write a volume. We are pleased with our noble president, Rex Cornwell, and our sponsor, Prof. Bailey Hall, and we follow them with sublime confidence. Now, as we stand upon the shore of the great wide ocean of learning, we long to fathom its deepest mysteries. Looking out upon the future, our highest ambition and noblest purpose is to reflect honor and dignity upon B. P. C. and the class of 1932.

lln �rmnriam SADIE KEENE

Born: Acadia Pari sh, La., February 7, 1912

Died: Bethany, Oklahoma, Oct. '1, 1928.

On October 31, 1928 the student body and faculty were saddened by the death of a promising young student, Miss Keene came to us from Rayne, Louisiana, and was a Freshman in our college. Through her sincerity and cheerfulness she won many friends in her short stay with us. Miss Keene lived a beautiful Christian life and died a victorious Christian.

There is no death! The stars go down To rise upon some fairer shore; And bright is heaven's jeweled crown They shine forevermore. There is no death! An angel form Walks over the earth with silent tread; He bears our best loved ones away And then we call them "dead."

The District Assembly

It has been the happy privilege of students of Bethany-Peniel College for the past three years to be able to attend the District Assembly of the Western Oklahoma District of our Church, since this has been the third successive time the Assembly has made this place this seat of meeting. Our Senior General Superintendent, Brother H. F. Reynolds, blessed U3 with splendid counsel and advice as he presided this year. His advanced years seemed to hamper him not at all as he joined us in praising the Lord. From 1895 Brother Reynclds was vitally connected with the Pentecostal Churches of Amorica, and when they united with the Church of the Nazarene, in 1907, he was elected a General Superintendent. He has faithfully served the Church in that capacity since.

The students of Bethany-P€niel College appreciate the life and work of our Brothel' Reynolds, and trust for his speedy recovery L'om the accident which befell him since he was here.

Our pastors came from far and near, bringing good reH.F. REYNOLDS ports. Some of them had hard battles and severe trials, but they all came up shouting the victol'y, and praising the name of our blessed Redeemer. There was a spirit of unity and harmony among the brethren, and we are united in the purpose of spreading Scriptural holiness over the land. Rev. J. ·Walter Hall was again elected as our District Superintendent to lead us on in this most holy battle. May God bless him and reward him for his faithfulness.

Many visitors were present among us, some 01 them representing different special phases of our work. Some of them preached to us at the night services, which were evangelistic. We were glad to welcome them, especially our missionaries. Beside the missionaries who live here, or attend the College, or are on the faculty, Brother Harman Schmelzenbach and wife were with us. God wonderfully blessed us as they brought messages of their work in th3 dark, benighted field of heathen Africa. Brother Schmelzenbach went from our school at Peniel, Texas, about twenty-one years ago, and has been there ever since. He is our pioneer misisonary in that field. The missionary service of Sunday afternoon climaxed our Assembly. Brother Schmelzenbach was so worn and tired he could not finish his message, but his wife finished it for him. The glory fell. We had a march and love offering at the close and about $350 was given by our people of the District to help these folks get back to their work in Africa. They have returned, there are others who want to go, there are others who are needed there. Let us pray the Master of the harvest to make it possible.

O. H.

(Continued f1'om pa.ge 37) berries glistening in the sun like a thousand pearls embedded in a nest of sea-green leaves.

Gyp whinned a welcome as he saw his folks returning laden with brambleberries and cedar, crossing the foot path of the rollicing little stream. The evergreens were placed in the buggy, and then they drove along until Gyp, the staid old gentleman, was standing directly under the mistletoe. He bowed his head low, but Rebekah only scrambled up upon his back. Uncle Sam scaled the tree, and crawling carefully out on the limb, whittled away the hard stem of the mistletoe, tied a rope about it, and gently swung it down to Rebekah. She passed it on to Lewis, perched upon the shafts, and he to George, dangling over the dashboard.

The old clock on the mantle chimed the hour of four. The red berries up behind its shining face seemed to vie with the leaping flames in the open fireplace in cheerfulness. From the center of the ceiling swung the great bunch of mistletoe. Wreaths of cedar hung in the windows. Garlands of green were over the piano, upon whose rack was an open sheet of music: "Joy to the world, the Lord is come!"

The very air seemed to pulsate with Christmas cheer, and command toFor a whole day now, Fling away care now, Let us be gay, now, Christmas is here . Tears may come after, Now, only laughter

Shakes the old rafter. Christmas is here.

Down the road, as sure as sure! There they were, jogging along, Uncle Clay,. Aunt Virginia and the children, coming home for Christmas. The sleeping baby was carried in and placed upon the bed, with other mysterious bundles, and every one was talking at once: "Yes, Aunt Sallie is spending the night with Sarah." "Cousin Sallie and Cousin Bettie would come early in the morning." "Yes, it's finished; only a few more stitches." "No, I must make it after supper."

Uncle Jacob sat in the rocking chair, his knees crossed, his slippered foot sticking out in the most inviting way. It was after supper, and it was Christmas eve. The shadows from the firelight danced up and down, making wierd pictures upon the wall, and Uncle Jacob was dreaming-possibly of a little son or daughter he might some day call his own, and rock to sleep at his own fireside, or tell stories about "when he was a little boy."

Suddenly his dream was broken; there was a rush, and the room was filled with nephews and nieces begging for a story. He took the baby upon his knee, now wide awake and refreshed from her nap and throwing her arms about like an old-fashioned windmill. She was the baldheaded kind of baby, soft and full of dimples. Will and George were taking turns about on the floor, "riding the horse to Banbury Cross." The other children were begging for a song, "0, Miss Mousie, will you marry me?" And no sooner was it repeated than someone called out, "Tell it again." One story after another was demanded and how funny they were! "Old Brother Fox," "The Tar Baby," "The Frog and the Ox."

Grandmother came in with hammer and nails, diverting their attention by calling for stockings, for it was now long past a Christmas eve bedtime. Then, with a hurried good-night, the lights were soon out, and the children in bed.

(Continued from page 56)

Sleep seemed far from Rebekah as she watched the flickering fire cast its shadows upon the five little heads buried in the pillows of the trundlebeds. Sh2 herself was in the fat old feather bed, snug and warm among home-spun blankets. The fire danced up and down, bringing out the pattern of the blue-and-white counterpane. How loud th2 old clock ticked! A hum of voices came from the next room. Coaly was barking at the full-faced moon, and from the barn th2 big red ro03ter was sending forth a cock-a-doodle-doo. From somewhere out in the night a horse whinnied; the cattle in the lot must be restless, for a mother cow was persisbntly calI:ng to know if it was well with her calf. At last, the sounds l':eemed to grow indistinct, and to run together. The backlog crackled, snapped apart, and flamed up into a bright, warm blaze.

Again Rebekah awoke; this time with wide-open eyes. Patches of darkness were hurrying past to make room for one more day. There was a glimmer of light in the East, and with its coming suddenly the whole house was filled with the laughter of children and with calls from room to room of, "Merry Christmas."

Stockings were taken down and delved into; gingerbread men and home-made jumping-jacks were laughed over; beautiful sticks of molasses candy, twisted to a turn, were nibbled; and home-made pincushions, red mittens, whistles, balls, and work boxes were oh-ed and ah-ed over. Grandmother, her eyes dim with tears, held in her lap gifts fashioned with crooked little seams, knitting with stitches dropped here and there, tatting that was none too even-these, with notes attached, blotted and smudged-but all expressions of true love.

There was a call from the back door, where Aunt Phyllis, Tucker, Aunt Mag and Uncle John were discovereed shouting, "Chris'mas Gif', Miss Marg'et." "Mars' Jacob, 1's done ketched yo'." "Becky, 1's bin layin' low, an' now l's ketched you." "Fotch hit out, Miss Hattie."

It was a well-observed custom among the negroes of the South, and one practiced by most of the whites as well, to "catch" one another's Christmas gift; the fortunate one being he who first called out the greeting, for the other must respond with a present. Aunt Mag had teased the children for days about "slippin' up on them," and how she had succeeded. Popcorn balls were gotten out and meekly handed over, a bright red card, some brighter quilt scraps, a handkerchief neatly hemmed for Uncle John, and a red one for Tucker, gingerbread men and candy for the children; these sent them all away rejoicing.

The Christmas goose was done to a turn; the hens and hams looked equally inviting. From the center of the table the plum pudding sent forth a spicy odor, such as well-made Christmas puddings should have. Mince pies stood in tempting array upon a small side table; near them cups of golden custard carried upon their tops white, fluffy balls. The wild-plum jelly shook with pride as it surveyed its neighbors -the creamy potatoes, bowls of brown gravy, and savory dressing.

Dinner was ready in Grandmother Lewis' dining room, and there were places for all-children, grandchildren, Cousin Sallie, and Cousin Reuben and Little Sallie. All were but one big family to Grandmother, who, seated in her place at the head of the table, asked a special blessing from the Giver of all blessings, upon those who, that day, had no home; and those from whose hearths there arose no Christmas cheer; upon those whose hearts had grown cold because they had forgotten Him who came to bring light and love and comfort within.

And the very Spirit of Christmas filled the humble home on the San Gabriel.

Miss Kate's Word Children

I w07'ked so hard to line them up In such IQ, nice st7'aight row, To see .thea each was in its place, Before I let them go.

Then turned to {/7'eet the one who came, A fine young man, was he; If he should ask to change my name, 'Twould be all right wi·th me.

We wandered out upon the vawn; Mu hand in his was taken. He sp!oke to me, my words were .!Jone: Poor me, .theu had forsaken.

And while he told me 0/ his love, Not one wee w07'd, I said; I called forr them to cla·me to me; It seemed that they We7'e dead.

I hastened then /07' just one w07'd; 'Twas "yes" I tried to find; But in the clvamberr of mu brain, Thea 7'ogue was out of line

.4nd then I loloked for "I love you," But here I hate to say, Those naughty ones were mi-ssing, too; Most likely, they would stay.

"T;J7ill you not teU me, noW. mu dear, 1/ y'ou love me?" I heet7'd. Oh dear! wi?ett was I then to do? He waited f07' my w07'd.

I se'rL7'ched my line, but no, not one, Was there for me to say; Mischievously hiding f7'0711. 7ne They seemed tJo want to play.

"Oh please," I begged ent7'ecdinglu To "yes" and "I love you" But don't you know those silly ones Just tU7'11.ed and b'om me flew.

And silently, I turned to him; I thought r,d surely SC7'ea7n; I gulped and ch\oked, and then I woke, And found it all / a dream.

The Department of Religious Education offers a· course for people who wish to prepare for the ministry and who are advanced in years, not having time to take a full college education.

Those taking the Intensive Ministerial Course study particularly English, Bible, Theology, Church History, and Homiletics; they may take any other subject that they desire.

Professor C. A. McConnell, who is head of the Department of Religious Education, is doing a great work in training men and women for the fields of labor which are so white and ready for harvest.

I Am Music

Servant and Master am I; servant of those dead, and master of those living. Through me the spirits immortal speak the message that mak2s the world waep, and laugh, and wonder, and worship.

I tell the story of love, the story of hate, the story that saves and th2 story that damns. I am the incense upon which prayers float to Heaven. I am the smok:! which palls over the field of battle where men lie dying with me on their lips.

I am close to the marriage altar, and when the graves open I stand nearby. I call the wanderer home, I rescue the soul from the depths, I open the lips of the lovers, and through me the dead whisper to the living.

One I serve as I serve all; and the king I make my slave as easily as I subject his slave. I speak through the birds of the air, the insects of the field, the crash of waters on the rock-ribbed shores, the sighing of wind in the trees, and I am even heard by the soul that kClOWS me in the clatter of wheels on city streets.

I know no brother, yet all men are my brothers; I am the father of the best that is in them, and they an fathers of the best that is in me; I am of them and they are of me. For I am the instrument of Gcd.

Expression Department

The Department of Dramatic Art has been more active this year, and has really accomplished more than in any previous year.

We attribute the many activities of this department to the able direction of our excellent teacher, Miss Kate Reese. Her unusual ability and admirable character has won for her a place in the hearts of every student in B. P. C.

The fact that the Department has made real progress is best shown by the constant increase in the enrollment. The organization doubled in number before the close of the year. Although we felt our increase in strength, we have not been too large to be congenial, nor too small to be an active force in the life cf the school.

Mrs. Irma Shook was elected President of the class, at the beginning of the school year. She has done faithful and efficient service; led the Class on to success in all its undertakings.

It is the aim of the Department of Dramatic Art not merely to entertain, but to build up a trained mind as well as a trained body, that we may be able to give out Truth in the best and most effective way.

I S.

Preacher's and Christian Worker's Class

The Public Speaking Class for Preachers and Christian Workers is a new class in Bethany-Peniel College.

The training we receive is not made a substitute for the Old Story of experimental salvation. Our slogan is "There is no substitute for a heart message." "We must be true ourselves if we the truth would teach. Our hearts must overflow if we another's heart would reach. It takes the overflowing heart to give the life full speech."

We, therefore, believe that before we can give a truth we must live it. We proceed on the principle "from within outward" and the persistent attempt is made to train each individual to present the truth in such a manner that the minds and hearts of those who hear will respond to that truth.

With this result in view, the voice and body must be liberated and become perfect channels to convey the message. We believe that we have a message to give. The personnel of the class is splendid-men and women who are thoroughly saved, who have met the Great Teacher of Truth, who spoke to the people as "One who had authority."

We believe that with the training we are recelvmg, in conjunction with zealous hearts, we can go forth to take our message of truth, not only to those who are around us, but also to them "that are afar off even un�o the uttermost parts of the earth."

The Physical Equipment of B. P. c.

The buildings and equipment of Bethany-Peniel College are second to none in our denomination. The last appraisal of the campus and property was made December 27, 1928, by W. H. Creech, Bethany Realty Co., Bethany, Oklahoma; S. H. Bundy, President of the Farmers State Bank, Bethany, Oklahoma; and D. B. Phillips, President of the First National Bank, Yukon, Oklahoma. Using the appraisement mentioned, the assets over liabilities as shown by the last audit rendered by M. C. Fox, C. P. A., December 31st, 1928, are a little more than two hundred th::msand dollars. This does not include the Church Plant which in reality is a part of our equipment, and is ill constant use by the school. The Church Plant is well worth fifty th::msand dollars. Adding this amount to the other figures, we have buildings and equipment with net equity of more than two hundred fifty thousand dollars.

The buildings are all brick with the exception of the Chapel Building, which is of concrete, and the Physical Education building, which is frame. The Physical Educational building is used for both a gymnasium and a campmeeting tabernacle. Six of these buildings have been erected in the past six years, and the other two have been remodeled. This gives us six new buildings and two practically new ones. Our classes are adequately housed, and our building problem is very nearly solved. The one outstanding need, and the only need along this line at present, is a Fine Arts building. This could be built to supply adequately our needs for the present, for about fifteen thousand dollars. We are praying that some individual or family will erect this building for us as a Memorial Building of Fine Arts, in memory of some loved one who was interested in holiness schools especially at Peniel, Texas, or here in Bethany.

The equipment for our laboratories has received special attention in the past few years. Thousands of dollars have been spent here, and more is being added almost daily. We now have sufficient equipment for two years in Physics, and two years in Chemistry, and next year there will be added sufficient equipment for the third year in both these departments. The furniture in the dormitories was put in new, in the last year, almost throughout. The offices and class rooms have als::> been equipped with new furniture, until we feel that we are pretty well furnished at this point. The Library, perhaps, has been increased more proportionately than any other part of the school. In the past few months hundreds of new copies of up-to-date books have been added, and the books have been indexed so that it is possible to find them without delay. A faculty member has been given the position of Librarian, and we feel proud of our Library.

Gymnasium Our New Gymnasiuln

The newest unit to Our school, in the way of buildings, is the Gymnasium of which we are very proud. The floor is of oak; the ventilation and light are adequate. The present unit occupies a floor space of five thousand square feet, being fifty wide by one hundred feet long.

The Gymnasium has been used for basket ball only, so far; the basket ball court is one indeed to be proud of, and is not excelled in this section.

There are going to be additions made to the Gymnasium in the near future, and next year it will provide ample room for other indoor athletics.

This building is to be used also for the Bethany-Peniel Campmeeting which is held every summer.

We thank the Central West Educational Zone for this splendid building

Athletics

A boy or girl with little or no physical energy is dead, or near dead. A boy or girl whose energy is wrongly directed is headed toward death. A boy or girl whose energy finds proper expression in well chosen activities is headed toward life. One of the great problems of youth is to properly direct the physical energy which is so constantly striving for expression. Boys and girls are not bad, but are simply "bubbling over" with life. The boy can't study all the time-he is not all brain; he must give time to his soul, and to his body. Certain elements must be included in a satisfactory athletic program for students. These include (1) vigorous exercise, (2) strong interest (3) team work, (4) opportunity for leadership, (5) the entire group participating.

To meet the first of these needs we play basketball, baseball, tennis, etc., but no football.

Basketball is admirably adapted to the development of teamwork and cooperation. It is also one of the best games for training in fair play.

In all these games, but especially in the annual track meet, we find an opportunity for development of leadership. The leader on the athletic field is usually a leader in later life. He learns there to direct men to a winning place in the contest.

To keep a sustained interest in these activities intramural games are played throughout the year, but no games are played with teams outside the school.

In order that the entire group may participate in athletic activities every student is assigned to the gymnasium two hours each week. Each spring one day is given for a track meet, and as large a number as possible is urged to participate in the various events.

We might summarize our position thus: Athletics shall be encouraged as long as it is a servant filling a need, but discouraged as soon as it assumes the place of master.

Track Meet

It is the custom each year for the Bethany-Peniel College student body to be divided into two equal parts, Rangers and Comets, to contest in track events.

This year the track teams were organized during the first semester with B. M. Hall as sponsor and Perry Cunningham as captain of the Rangers and C. O. Moore as sponsor and Harrell Garrison as captain of the Comets.

Track meet was held April 5. The question throughout the day was "who will and who won't." The scores were tied several times during the day; at the beginning of the last event, the mile race, the Rangers were two points in the lead but the Comets took first and second places on the mile which made them victorious by five points.

Paul Garrett, a Ranger, won first place as high point man making thirty-six of the Rangers seventy-nine points. We are proud of Paul; he is a real athlete. Garrett will be awarded a gold medal.

Clifford Harrison and Harrell Garrison, Comets, took second and third places respectively. They are both splendid athletics and we prize them. Harrison will be awarded a silver medal and Garrison a bronze medal.

The Comets have the distinction of having won the first loving cup in this school which will be awarded them for their victory.

Archery for the girls, was a new event this year and indeed a very interesting one.

The Student Council

Among the student organizations of Bethany-Peniel College is the Student Council. It consists of five members, four from the college department and one from the high school. At the close of each school year the members for the coming year are chosen by the students.

As unity, and therefore strength, is the purpose of every organization, so it is with the Student Council. It was organized that the students as a body might have a head through which it could work harmoniously. Like the officers of any organization, the Council is for leadership and service. Its aim is to sponsor the students in their activities and comply with their wishes as their representative. It also acts as a medium between the Faculty and student body, bringing them into a closer relationship. It desires to promote cooperation and help to create a good school spirit.

One chapel program each week is given by the students and is arranged and sponsored by the Student Council.

(Continued from page 38) was more to follow, and he did some quick thinking. Raising one of the windows near by, he beat a hasty retreat. In just what order he landed into the room, I can not say; the last I saw of him was the bottom of his feet sticking out the window, and that made me think of "Post no bills."

Of course all of this time, I made a splendid target for the Upperclassmen on the third floor. So it was not at all surprising to me, when, the very moment that Mr. Hoag disappeared, I received a nice shower bath without having to pay for it. A second one, or rather a deluge was intended for me about three minutes later, but I dodged into the house, leaving poor little Marilee there to receive full benefit of it.

Out on the campus, the boys seemed to be having a hilarious time. Some of the Upperdassmen, Shelby, Hearne, John, Perry, and Paul had torn down our colors from the buildings and trees, and tied them on a bunch of dogs. The dogs seemingly blamed each other for the insult, for they began in the regular old fashioned way to fight like "cats and dogs." In connection with this episode, a certain person told me to ask Leonard Goodwin and Frank Harris if Perry had the outstanding characteristics of a grizzly bear. That certain person believes they will agree that he has

A little later on in the day, I saw Brilhart. I was told that he helped to put the colors on the water tower. Poor dapper little Brilhart, I would never have known him. He reminded me of the little white Persian kitten that I used to have; he looked for the world like my kitten did the day it crawled through the stove pipe.

'Tis strange, indeed, the paths and by-ways that those imps Curosity, Mischief, and Fun, will lead you into; and how easily they can make you forget there ever was such a thing as common sense and better judgment!

Oh, yes, let me add that while the Freshmen were all in classes, our colors were dethroned by Perry, Alvin, and Mr. Blackshear.

The Young Ladies' Gospel Team

Bethany-Peniel College offers many opportunities which young people in worldly schools know nothing about. She urges her students to put God first in all things. Many colleges have their fraternities and sororities, but we have organizations which far surpass those-our Gospel Teams.

In the midst of the rush of school life the Young Ladies' Gospel Team affords opportunity for the girls to forget the cares of the week, and meet on Thursday night for a time of getting closer to the Lord-praying, singing, reading the blessed Word of God, and pouring their hearts out one to another. vVith all due respect to the other services, the girls admit that they feel God's presence more keenly and receive more help from the Gospel Team Meetings than from any other services.

Other than our regular meetings the girls are privileged to hold services in churches near Bethany and thus receive practical training in Christian work. Great opportunities! And the end is not yet-we are looking forward to better things by the help and grace of God.

Young Men's Gospel Team

The Young Men's Gospel Team is a time-honored organization in Bethany-Peniel Penie1 College. In days gone by many a young preacher has been encouraged in his holy calling by attending the weekly meetings of this organization. Not only in days past have the meetings proved such a help, but also now they are such.

This year a splendid plan of procedure for our meetings was suggested by Pres. White, and adopted by the Team. At one of the Monday evening meetings the time is given over to a "beginning" preacher; another evening is given to testimony, another to prayer and another to some experienced preacher or teacher.

When you come to B. P. C., young men, make your plans to fall right in with the Boys' Gospel Team. It can be truthfully said that you will never find a group of better young men.

v. L.

The G. H. C. is an honorary organization for the girls of Bethany-Peniel College. Membership is based upon scholarship and conduct. Our aim is to encourage our girls in living more noble lives, and to set higher scholastic standards.

At the beginning of this school term the charter members of the club met and discussed plans for reorganization and the initiation of new members.

Friday night, October fifth, nineteen hundred twenty eight, the members were entertained with a slumber party at the home of Mrs. S. S. White. Between eleven and twelve o'clock a busines's meeting was held. At this meeting a list of the names of all girls eligible for membership was made.

'rhe following Friday was initiation day. Each would-be member was initiated in a different manner. Under the efficient leadership of our president, Opal Gilbert, and our sponSOr Mrs. S. S. White, we have made splendid progress, and we are well satisfied with the year's work.

Early in the school year a meeting, of all the young men in the college who had been here the previous school term, was called. The purpose of this meeting was to consider the organization of an honor society for the college boys who have proven themselves worthy of membership, by attaining a high standard of scholarship and cooperating fully with the ideals and regulations of Bethany-Peniel College. This suggestion was met favorably by every one present, and before the meeting was adjourned plans had been made for a permanent organization. At the second meeting the constitution was adopted and the name T. N. T. was ·chosen.

The members of the T N. T. have met regularly on the first Friday evening of each month. The purpose of the monthly meetings is to develop and promote friendships, create a strong sentiment among all beys in the school to adhere closely to principles of B. P. C., and to bring about the greatest possible degree of unity among the college young men.

With the great interest that has been manifested by the members of the T. N. T. and the realization this year of the three-fold objective, the permanence of the organization is assured.

Debating

During the first few weeks of the second semester of this school year, a Debating Club was organized for the purpose of representing Bethany-Peniel College in the Debate League of the Junior Colleges. By consistent effort and strenous work, our Debate team has become one of the strongest in the forensic league. The knowledge of the question, coupled with experience in the field of debating, makes our team effieient in this type of work

Then, too, the morale of the Debaters was not broken by defeats. The opposing teams have noticed the good spirit with which our team has lost.

Those debating this year are Paul Garrett, a member of last year's debating team, and Brilhart Chapman, a Freshman, who has had experience in High School Debating. They represent, not only the negative, but the affirmative side as well.

The Mid-Winter Revival

It was our good fortune, in our mid-winter revival, to secure the services of Rev. L. A. Reed, pastor of the First Church of the Nazarene in Long Beach, California. Brothel' Reed is without doubt one of the most successful pastors in our church, but he is also a very proficient evangelist. He is one of the outstanding men of the church.

Brother Reed took his degree, in 1913, at our college in Peniel, Texas; we are proud of the fact that he, therefore, considers our own school his Alma Mater, since the two scho::>ls have united. He has further pursued his studies in Drew Theological Seminary, and in the University of California. Having been reared in a Christian home, and having consecrated his life to God at an early age, he has been very conscientious in all of his pursuits. His education is used to a wonderful advantage in the building and the presentation of each of his sermons. His strong, clear mind, his oratory, and his humility were greatly used of God in our midst. He is a young man himself, being one of the general officers of the Nazarene Young People's Society, and his messages appeal to young people.

Both the morning and the evening services were especially blessed of God. No altar calls were without response; and many times, it was difficult to find room for all of the seekers. We feel sure that eternity alone will reveal the results of the efforts of those ten days, for their influence will never die. However, we were very happy to notice many immediate results. Many more of our students became Christians, and the general spirituality of the school was greatly increased

We especially appreciated the messages about the Holy Spirit. These were presented in the morning services, and they dealt particularly with the work and the gifts of the Spirit. They were very timely messages, and they undoubtedly did much to establish all of us in the Faith. We shall always remember some of the safeguards against both formality and fanaticism brought out so forcefully by Brother Reed. His success, together with the success of many others of the age in which we live, is a challenge to us as young people to prepare ourselves faithfully for the great work which lies out before us. By the grace of God, we have purposed in our hearts to be true to the ideals of the Church, and to endeavor to fill with credit the place which God has for us in life.
