Class Notes SAIL FAITH The Oberlin Sailing Club was formed in 1948 but it wasn’t until 1953, when the club purchased its own boats, that it was able to participate in intercollegiate regattas. Though membership flagged and its fleet faltered at times, by 1959 it boasted 55 members and seven vessels plying the shores of the Vermilion Lagoons on Lake Erie and its training center at Findley Lake. Following several idle years, the club was revived in 1972 for a time but put into dry dock in 2003 , when the college torpedoed the club’s plan to buy a boat out of concerns over liability. The label on this image, from the Oberlin College Archives, indicates the sailor is Henry Lengnick ‘57. Have more information on the Sailing Club?

She holds fast to memories of her days on campus, and her loved ones find that she more vividly remem- bers visitors who also attended Oberlin. 1950s 1953 Frederick Stroebel graduated from Anderson College (now Anderson University) in Indiana before earning his divinity degree at Oberlin. He claims that it was Oberlin—with its faculty representing numerous denominational backgrounds—that truly enlightened him. “How neat and beautiful to study under a diversity of Protestant professors who were all on the same page in loyalty to their educa- tional institution,” he says. “That experience helped shape my ministry as a pastor, and also my life!” n Hannah Bonsey Suthers has written Tales From Makawao Volume 1, about her adventures living on a seven-acre subsis- tence farm in Maui, Hawai’i, during WWII years.
