The Greatest Week In the History of Biola N otes C oncerning 1927 C ommencement A ffairs
Annual Glee Club Concert T H E Annual Glee Club Concert Friday . evening, June 10, drew a large au dience. And those who came went away well satisfied with the program. The music department has been doing high class work through the year. After lis tening to the numbers presented by the Women’s Glee Club, one was inclined to believe that the Eisteddfod judges of 1926 and 1927 possessed good judgment in giving these young ladies first place both years. The Men’s Glee Club re vealed the reason for their popularity wherever they have gone. Their singing is a great testimony. The other artists on the program deserved the applause given. Congratulations, Music Faculty ! OUPERLAT IVES alone will suffice if " we attempt to speak of the Commence ment Excercises of the Class of 1927 Tuesday evening, June 14. “The: great est Commencement in the history of the Bible Institute.” So says Rev. John Hun ter, with gratitude to God in his heart as he says it, and Mr. Hunter has seen all other such occasions. This was the largest single class to be given diplomas at one time in the history of the Institute. The largest audience to date took part in the service. W h a t friend of B. I. was not proud of the s p e a k e r s representing the different groups? Seasoned veterans of the plat form seldom speak with more poise, and the subject matter of the addresses- re vealed the high standard of work being done in the class rooms. The music feat uring the Class Song, words by Gerhart Jantzen and music by Henry Rempel, was of the highest order. — o — Commencement Exercises
There was no one present who did not feel that the Bible Institute of Los An geles is coming into her own and has entered upon a new day of 5service for Christ and His church. —o— Alumni Annual Doings T3USINESS Meeting, Eats, and Pro- - gram tell the story of the Alumni E x ercises of 1927. The year past ■has been one of the best in the history of the Association, under the direction of Presi dent Ernest W. Stuchbery, ’22, and his corps of efficient officers. The mantle for the coming year fell upon C. B. Whitwell, ’25, with Arthur Layne, ’27, vice-president, Helen White, ’20, secretary, and Flora Provost, ’25, treasurer. Thevdinne'r proved to be a veritable banquet for sauce and trimmin’s, with plenty of songs, yells and enthusiasm. 350 crowded the tables,' the largest number that ever sat down together upon such an occasion. The program had to be held in Lecture Room 1 because so many were present. '■'/ . Class Day Exercises T IM E would fail us to tell of the many ■features of the Class Day Exercises: of Monday morning, '«June 13. Dean Maclnnis presided, but the Class of 1927 had the floor. According to the historians; the ,great ness of this -class has not been fully ap preciated, even by the Faculty. The prophets revealed the "fact that the years to come will give large opportunity for usefulness in rather unexpected places. Seldom has a prophecy been more clever ly presented than by Mr. and Mrs. Carl ton Lauber in their Air Mail Stunt,:'The
graduates very kindly bequeathed their most prized possessions to the Faculty and members of the Junior Class. Mem ories of other years were stirred in the minds of many graduates' and former students present. —O—A How Do You Like the Biolan? T H E last assembly of the Student body association was heid Friday morning, June 10. It was the students’ own meet ing. The faculty was invited and came, but for once it was not their day. Her bert Cassell, retiring President, presided. What a thrill when the student body caught -its,first glimpse of “The Biolan," the first Student-Alumni Annual ! The work of the editors has been tastefully done. The many activities of the school have been clearly and appropriately pre sented. The pictures are good likenessés. The engraving is creditable. The Alumni Section broadens the horizon to , include the world. The snapshots reveal the inner life of Biola.,. The Biola Press is to be congratulated for its fine workmanship. The first copy was presented to Dean John M. Maclnnis. Other copies went to Dr. Charles E. Hurlburt, Superintendent, to A. H. Havermale of the Press, and to representatives of business organizations having to do with the publication. The Biolan Staff was presented, with a neat speech of appreciation of student support, by the editor-in-chief, Edgar McAllister. Announcement was made of the staff for next year. Roy Fuller, of the Senior Class, will carry the responsibility. The Student Body remembered with apprecia tion thé service q ! its retiring president, Herbert Cassell, with an appropriate gift. At this point a young man came for ward with a travelling case to be used on the Dean’s European trip this summer. Before the recipient had more than found himself in the expression of his gratitude, Prof. Herbert G. Tovey, in behalf of the faculty, presented Dr. and Mrs. Maclnnis with steamer rugs for the ocean, (jour ney. The Dean was almost beyond utter ance, but his “Thank you” revealed how much the loyal support of the student body and faculty means.to him and Mrs. Maclnnis. The program closed with the installa tion of the student body association of ficers for next year, Irwin Moon, presi dent, and with the singing of “Biola,” and prayer, —o— The moral victories of the world have been won by minorities. — 0 — ‘ It is so easy to criticize, that many peo ple prefer it to doing something worth while themselves. —o— “You may walk a long time behind a goose before you will pick up an ostrich feather.” * And listen a long time to, some talkers before you, hear anything worth remembering.
