2 -..THEcRANE1-- Solufion of Sunday Service Problem ls Up To The Sfudenf After one month of late church services and the recent two weeks of early but drastically shortened chapel programs, the Church Cabinet is turn- ing to the students for recommendations for correction of this yearfs mixup in locations and times. The problem is this: last yearfs early', services, pre- ferred by the majority of students and held most often, have been replaced so far by a Hfamilyn service for residents of this area excluding the Cran- brook Institutions. This means that if Cranbrookians are to meet their Sab- bath obligations at Christ Church, they must attend the 11:00 A.M. service. For various obscure reasons this later service is often considered unpopular However, the Cabinet has recently developed the recent 9 30 chapel pro grams as a solution, these have aroused considerable comment pro and con Those who argue for this latter measure claim that it shortens otherwise dull services and allows sermons more of an interest to local age groups Those condeming the chapel programs state that the services are too short, that b placing them more on the scale of our week day services, they create much less religious atmosphere than that generated at Christ Church Another possibility too is that of afternoon and vesper services However, it goes without saying that these may prove undesirable for it appears to be a local axiom that the later the service, the more unpopular With all these possible solutions in mind, the Cabinet will soon distribute a poll to the student body, asking its preference in these matters It is vital that the right decision be reached, the outcome will directly affect you By wise thought in these matters, a f much more congenial situation may be established Lower School News PRO and CON as told' to polfer Frank Hur: Boosted by a 9 1 victory over Brook side s varsity squad the soccer team trav eled to Littlefield Playground to meet Peters of Birmingham Scoring in the hrst few minutes of play the iunior Cranes gained a lead which they never relinquished In the last half they added an insurance tally Don Twyman finished off two beautiful aggressive plays executed by the whole front line who received the balls from the backs Sig Snyder s defensive work played an important part in the victory Showing marked strength on offense the football team won its first contest with Detroit Country Day by a score of 27 6 Touchdowns were made in both quarters of the first half and again in the final period when the visitors scored in the closing minutes of the game The team appeared to have a strong ground attack but seemed to be weak in pass defense ohn Nagy was high scorer and leading ground garner scoring three of the four touchdowns with Tom Schad scoring the remaining tally Signal caller AI Butzel and runner Mike O Hara also aided the team to their decisive victory Playing their best game of the season the midget booters lost to the Oakmont Bluelackets a team rated second in the league by a score of 43 Behind by a score of 3 o the fast breaking line scored one in the last seconds of the half and two in quick succession during the third See LOWER SCHOOL NEWS col 3 uestion What do you thmle o Stu dent Servicer held zn the Chapel?
