California Baptist Collage will observe its Fifth Annual Graduation
this Spring and will confer degrees on thirty-one graduates. Included
in this number will be those who will finish their work during the summer session.
Graduation program will begin with the baccalaureate service which
will be held Sunday afternoon, May 25, 3:00 p.m., at the Magnolia Avenue
Baptist Church. Delivering the baccalaureate sermon will be Rev. Harold Dye, Pastor, Calvary Baptist Church, San Jose. Besides being an
outstanding pastor, Rev. Dye has received national recognition among
Southern Baptists for the several books which he has published. His
writings are frequently used by the Home Mission Board in their mission study program and he contributes regularly to the leading periodicals of our denomination.
Following the commencement service, the annual President's Tea
will be held in the dining hall. This is an occasion where the President
and faculty honor graduates and their friends.
Commencement exercises will be held in the college chapel on Monday, May 28, at 10:00 a.m. The speaker for this occasion will be the
Honorable Nelson S. Diiworth, State Senator, Riverside County, California. Senator Diiworth was elected to the California Legislature in 1936,
and has served continuously, first in the Assembly and now in the Senate.
He enlisted in the United States Army in 1917 and served in engagements
on the Western Front in France until the Armistice. On this return to
his home in 191D he organized Hemet Post No. 53 of the American Legion and was chosen its first Commander. Senator Diiworth is used extensively as a speaker throughout the State and we are fortunate to have
him speak at our commencement services.

hve Sell Melpi
for esc Missionaries
Beautiful girls and muscular
young men were being auctioned
off to the highest bidder in the
chapel on May 15th. This was the
occasion of the BSU slave auction
for summer missions.
The slaves were rather ruthlessly driven on to the block by that
infamous slave trader, Harold
Nightengale, and auctioned off.
Some of the spectators found themselves slave owners by squirming
in their seats or scratching their
ear due to the proficiency of the
auctioneer. The slaves sold for
forty cents up to six dollars.
This rather unorthodox but effective business gained the Baptist
Student Union almost fifty dollars
to be used for summer missionaries.
