EDITOR Olive L. Kindley BUS. MGR. Leland S. Wiley There are hermit souls that live withdrawn In the peace of their self-content; There are souls like stars, that dwell apart, In a felloioless firmament; iere are pioneer souls that blaze their paths r here highways never ran — Bu let me live by the side of the road be a friend to man. — 4 — Friendship’s like a garland Twined with roses sweet; Like a row of little lights Twinkling down a street. Friendship makes the common things } Lovely as can he; Makes just living more worthiohile For friends like you and me. • ' ? V MRS. LEONA DAILEY — 7 — “A true frieu is forever a friend WILLIAM F. McCONN President Last summer in a young people’s convention, I heard a young man say that the thing which had impressed him most upon a re¬ cent visit to Marion College was the spirit of friendliness which he found so evident upon the campus. Marion College seeks to be Christian in principle and democratic in idealism both of which should give us a genuine interest in others. “The Son of Man came not to be ministered unto but to minister and to give his life a ransom for many.” He was always found contributing to human welfare, surely we should do no less. ( What brings greater happiness than friendships? Nothing is more inspiring in the time of discouragement, more comforting in sorrow; more encouraging in defeat; more steadying in success than the presence of a friend who knows and understands. Every year the Marion College circle of friendships widens. In this year’s student body the span extends from Washington and California on the west to Georgia, the Carolinas and Virginia on the east. Among the alumni, from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the Canadian border to the Gulf are to be found those who, call Marion College “Alma Mater.” Also in China, India Japan, Africa and the islands of the seas are those who carry sacred mem¬ ories of the “Old Triangle.” . , o God has been good to Marion College through the years m thus permitting her to serve so widely. With a steadfast faith in Him we turn our faces to the future expecting that the best days are yet to come. Yours and His, Wm. F. McConn. — 20 — Fellowship is communion in worship; partnership; companion¬ ship; friendly terms one with another; community interests.—Web¬ ster. With the rush that seems to be upon us, how these good qual¬ ities are apt to be crowded out of our lives. Fellowship with God is one of the strong compelling forces which has held us as a nation, as communities, as churches in the past. We are anxious that nothing should ever enter Marion College that would mar the splendid spirit of fellowship which exists among us. “Great men never crit¬ icize.” Dale Carnegie. Let us strive to make 1938 one of the best. John Williams. — 21 — ' V SS ' -i CLAYTON O. LAWRENCE A. B., M. A. Dean of Normal School Education ALLEN BOWMAN, A. B., M. A.

JONES Dunkirk, Ohio English, History JUNIORS The Class of ’39 has had an active part in the activities of Marion College since entering in the fall of 1935. The school year 1937-38 has been no ex¬ ception. Early in the year this class entertained the Freshmen at a picnic. On this occasion the new students were given a hearty welcome to participate in every phase of school life. The class presented a chap¬ el program on October 29, which featured two skits. The first showed the ideals and purpose the founders of Mari¬ on College had in mind in establishing a college here. The plans and procedure which were followed in con¬ structing the gymnasium were explained in the second skit. The Junior boys basketball team won the inter-class com¬ petition and several girls made favorable records on the College team. On the evening of May 6 the Juniors sponsored a ban¬ quet in honor of the class of ’38. Members of the class are looking forward to making next year their best at M. C. They are determined to car¬ ry out their motto, “Build for character and not for fame.” Unphotographed: HARLAND DOWNING Marion, Indiana History, English W. S. WOODMANSEE Marion, Indiana Social Science, Science — 33 — p The Sophomore Class though small in size has tak¬ en its place among the other classes in the school. Through¬ out the year loyalty and co¬ operation have characterized the class. Literary, musical, and scholastic ability together with cheerful smiles, words of advice, and Christian fellow¬ ship will not be forgotten by its members. The class motto is “Character the only True Diploma” and its colors “ma¬ roon and gold.” The class presented a chapel program in the form of a com¬ mencement exercise. While the school song was being played the class marched slowly to the platform. The ladies wore three cornered maroon scarfs on which the year “forty” was printed in gold letters. The young men wore small pocket handker¬ chiefs of the same design. Miss Lapham, the class spon¬ sor, in cap and gown, awarded the diplomas. As each receiv¬ ed his diploma he unrolled it and read before the audience a short striking quotation con¬ cerning the building of char¬ acter. The aim of each member of the class is to build into his life those things which will constantly make for sterling character.

The theme for the book this year has been “friendship”. The staff has endeavored to picture for you the attitude of friendship and good fel¬ lowship that exists on the campus, in every phase of school life; social, in¬ tellectual and spiritual. There are those warm friendships between students, between students and faculty, between faculty members; and then, there are friendships wiljh those inanimate things such as trees and books—but. the greatest friendship of all is that between man and God, the “friend that sticketh closer than a brother.” The attempt has been made to catch the spirit of this “friendship” and put it in permanent record, that, in future years you may glance through this 1938 Marionette and renew old friendships and also revive mahy memories of pleasant experiences on M. C. campus. Cosand Kershner Kindley . -j Ass’t Ed. Fac. Ed. Ed.: in Chief Corbin - Ass’t Bus. Mgr. Wiley - Bus. Mgr. Cole - Spec. Feat. Ed. Smith Lit. Ed. Logsdon Sport Ed. Kercheval Art Ed. Tippy Snap Ed. Whaley - Typist I At Commencement time old friends must part. In the new school year other friends are to be made and held, we trust as long as life shall last. This gives Marion College Church the exceptional opportunity for the making of many new friends from year to year. To those of you who are leaving us we would say as pastor and in behalf of the Church that the songs, the prayers, the testimonies and above all, the lives of many of you have blest and inspired us to the living of better and nobler Christian lives. And now, as you go on, the testing years ahead will reveal the greatness of your souls—just how well you have builded these last few years. Because of our friendship and strong faith in you we expect to hear of your successes and triumphs again and again. Our church wants to be your friend down through the years, for in so doing we shall surely find ourselves numbered as friends of men and women of great achievement and of great blessing to the world. A lady who is in the constant habit of giving away flowers from her garden is often heard to declare, “The flowers I give away never fade.” No, for they remain forever in the remembrance of those who receive them, keeping their fragrance and color to the end. As Church and Graduating Students let us continue to be friends, to love, to cherish, to pray for one another for in this “garden” are found blooming the fragrant and indestructible flowers that gladden the hearts of the living and prove to be worth far more than gold. RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES — 48 — i STUDENT CONFERENCE Though there are a number of organizations their purpose the in Marion College that have a promotion of Holiness standard 5 and Christian liv¬ ing among the student body ar d faculty, the Stu¬ dent Conference is the largest, all the students and faculty of It is composed of Marion College. Regular Tuesday evening services are held at 6:30 in the College Chapel. The time is devoted to prayer and praise and short messages from members of the student body For the year 1937-’38 Leland president, Donald Fisher, Evangeline Smith, secretary were four evangelists elected work which the Conference campus.

Under the able leadership of Professor Charles DeVol, returned missionary from China, the vision of every one has been broadened and a new zeal and hope has been realized. Several activities have been carried on throughout the year. The first Sunday of each month is devoted to missions, acquainting the Y. M. W. B. with the needs of the mission fields. Also missions are stressed every Wednesday in the noon prayer meetings. The convention which was held March 18-21, was a time of spiritual growth and uplift. Soul-stirring and challenging messages were brought by Dr. and Mrs. S. I. McMillen, who have spent several years in West Africa. The convention took on a new aspect as the medical slant of mis¬ sions was given. Other speakers in the meeting were Dr. Ezra DeVol, who with his wife had planned to go to China last fall, but was prevented because of war, and Professor and Mrs. Charles DeVol. For several years the Senior Y. M. W. B. has supported Reverend Frank Birch, but this year the support was transferred to Sterl and Marie Phinney. who are now laboring in Japan. The Phinneys are Marion College Grad¬ uates and went to the field last fall. — 50 — 1 The W. Y. P. S. is the Young People’s Society of the Wesleyan Meth¬ odist Church, but of course, in the College Church it consists of young _ P eo P le of several denominations since all the Christian students who desire may belong to this organization. The purpose of the W. Y. P. S. is twofold: first, to promote the Christian experience and holy character among the young people of the church; and second to train them for Christian service through the systematic study of the Word of God and property directed activities. This organization has charge of the young people’s services each Sunday evening at 6:30 except the one Sunday a month when the Y. M. W. B has the service. At these services appropriate subjects such as, “Prayer” Revival and Convictions are discussed by various members of the or¬ ganization. A district rally was held here in the College chapel last fall One of our own professors, Charles DeVol, a returned missionary from China was the principal speaker. A most profitable and inspiring convention of the Marion College Area was held in the Marion College Chapel, April 22, 23, 24. The scriptural rn 0 ? 1011 for the theme was found in Esther, “For such a time as this ” The theme was “Youth Serving the Present Age.” Rev. Roy S. Nicholson, Sunday School Secretary and Editor and an ardent young people’s worker and friend, was the convention speaker. Top row: Murphy, F. Garrett, Major, pres., Buckman, E. Smith. Second row: E.

Through the years the Society has held up a stand¬ ard of spiritual depth and character which has benefited its members and helped them in developing a well rounded, useful life. Amphictyons have worked loyally in every challenge brought to them. They are well represented in all the organizations of the school and in the editorial staffs for Marion College publications. In the literary con¬ tests held in the spring it is recorded that members of the Amphictyon Society have won a large percentage of the prizes.

Truly they have been victorious. During the first term under the leadership of Weston Newton, presi- dent, and Ada Tuttle, Soorotnry, the dub roooivod 4W- application of sixty-six percent of the new students for membership. Hand in hand with this victory was the winning of the Marionette sales contest for the sixth consecutive year, which won for them the Mari¬ onette Staff award, the silver cup. In the field of literature, the Eureka Literary Club has attained a marked degree of success. The first open program, “Poetic Memories” was devoted entirely to poetry. Others dealing with literature, music, art and philosophy, followed. The ability of the Club was demonstrated by the fact that the Varsity Debate Squad for two consecutive years has been made up of Eurekans. The leadership of the second and third terms was ably administered by Presidents Harland Ford and Ludlow Corbin and Secretaries Martha Simmons and Mary Evelyn Knepper. Thus, the Eureka Literary Club marches on — ever forward and upward toward the high goal of success, endeavoring to make a greater contribu¬ tion to its members and to Marion College.

GIRLS HIKING — 54 — THE INTER-SOCIETY COUNCIL The Inter-Society Coun¬ cil is an organization in¬ cluding a faculty member, and three representatives of each of the two literary societies, Amphictyon and Eurekan. Each society pres¬ ident, by virtue of his of- member of the Council. The two other members are elected by their societies for a term of one school year. For the year 1937-’38 the Amphictyon rep¬ resentatives have been Sherwood Eddy, pres¬ ident of the Amphictyon Society, Stanley Banker, and Violet Kercheval. The Eurekan representatives have been Weston Newton, president of the Eureka Club, L. H. Mayfield, a ad Woodrow Goodman. Professor Allen Bowman has acted as faculty adviser. This year the officers of the Council have bi en L. H. Mayfield, president; Sherwood Ei dy, vice-president; and Violet Kercheval, secretary-treasurer. It is the duty of this organization to regu¬ late all inter-society activities and business. This group sponsors the Marionette sales contest in the fall, and the Literary contests in the spring. For the Literary Contests the Council secures the donors of the prizes and makes the rules and regulations. Prizes of $5.00 each are given to the people winning first place. Those winning second place in the contest are recognized at the commence¬ ment exercises by honorable mention. GIRLS HIKING CLUB I There is no reward with¬ out work! The Hiking Club girls realize the true mean¬ ing of thifc statement be¬ cause they have experienced miles of hiking in all sorts of weather; but this has been lots of fun and the girls are not sorry for the time and energy spent in this way. School spirit has been greatly increased by various activities such as hikes and out- of-door breakfasts. The club also secured a ladies’ quartet known as the “Sunshine Four” from Cincinnati, Ohio for a chapel program. An interesting contest was carried out this year to encourage the completion of the mileage quotas early in the season. Awards were given in the form of a winged shoe with one bar for each year that the quota had been reached. The mileage quotas are 100 miles for the first year, 125 miles for the second year, 135 miles for the third year and 150 miles for the fourth year. The club has a membership of over 40 which includes girls from almost every state represented on the campus. Each member has a great interest in the welfare of Marion College and the club has made a lasting contribution to our institution. — 55 — CURRENT HISTORY CLUB With a membership of S5 the - C u rpe n - t ■ - Mia t o py within and outside the state.

Unruh, diJ gnmff T I ff-WPS T T TuTvT cil on International Relations, was the prin¬ cipal speaker. Frequently student speakers from our own club appeared before the various civic or¬ ganizations in the city and county. The energies of the year’s program have been bent toward making some permanent substantial contribution to the school life of Marion College. M. C. SCIENCE CLUB The students of Marion College have taken a keen interest in the sciences. The Science Club has sponsored several special exhibits and demonstrations to which the various Science classes or Clubs of High Schools of Grant County and fnnnl inc hax o horn One evening the Marion City High School met with us and a few weeks later our group met with them. At these special programs each department of science was represented. The Physics section demonstrated the forma¬ tion of crystals in polarized light; the Chem¬ istry section, methods of detecting arsenic poisoning; the Botany section had displays of ferns from many lands; Zoology section, had various types of fresh water and marine aquarium; and Physiology students demon¬ strated the beating of a heart in a live turtle. The rock garden and sunken pool add much to the beauty of the campus and make the study of wild flowers and living things more fascinating. Drs. Ezra DeVol and Sim McMillen who were here for the missionary convention March 18-20 gave interesting addresses and demonstrations to the science students. New equipment has been added to all the departments. This has inspired greater in- m sgismmc activities, consequently the year has been one of growth and develop¬ ment. 56 — CURRENT HISTORY CLUB V Top row: Neff, Newton, Mack, Price, Scoggan, K.

Overtures and Marches were practiced. Much time and effort was spent on the “Scarlet Mask.” The orchestration was much improved this year because of a greater variety of instru¬ ments. Among these were three clarinets, one alto horn, one saxaphone, three cornets, three trombones, one cello, and six violins. Added interest was shown this year by the increase of ten members over last year’s num¬ ber. Interesting chapel programs were presented during the year. These were well received by the student body. Although not expressly sponsored by the orchestra several small bands and ensembles played for various banquets at Teter Hall. These groups instituted a new feature for Marion College, that of providing music at the several athletic events. Mr. Reiter is to be highly commended for his fine work with the orchestra and his splendid cooperation in school activities. MARION COLLEGE COMMUNITY CHORUS The Marion College Community Chorus, con¬ sisting of a large group, 110 voices, presented ap¬ propriate portions of “The Messiah” by Handel dur¬ ing the Christmas season. The group gave a splendid rendition of the great oratorio at the U. S. Veterans’ Hospital, in the College Chapel, and at the First Methodist Church. At Eas¬ ter time the chorus presented “From Olivet to Calvary” by J. H. Maunder. This is an outstanding composition and is a favorite with many people of the community. Professor Herman Baker, director of the Chorus spent much time and effort to pro¬ duce the proficient and well-trained organiza¬ tion, and to inspire the group in the inter¬ pretation of the message of the composer. Because of the spiritual significance of the great masterpieces, the Chorus has been an inspiration and a blessing to the participants as well as to the school and surrounding com¬ munities. The soloists, chosen from the voice de¬ partment were: Sopranos, Ruthanna Thomas, and Norma Fite; Contraltos. Mary Evelyn Knepper, and Dorothy West; Tenors, Sheldon Jackson, and Thomas Russell; Basses, Rob¬ ert Howlett, and Samuel Walter. Mrs. Gretch- en Parker, pianist, and Mrs. Paul Dougherty, organist, accompanied the chorus. — 59 — MARION COLLEGE DEBATE TEAM Marion College debaters for the current season had the most -extens!n a attempted by the present insti¬ tution. The members of the Varsity teams, Leland Wiley and Woodrow Goodman, affirmative, and L. H. Mayfield and Weston Newton, negative, participated in eleven intercol¬ legiate debates. Another organization, the “B” team, composed of Richard Alte and Harland Ford, affirmative, and Lester Buckman and Clin¬ ton Jones, negative, entered the Huntington tourn¬ ament for six debates. Both teams have had a busy season and have been well repaid for their efforts. The Anderson-Taylor-Marion triangular debate opened the season for the Varsity teams. The following week both teams went to Wabash to debate with Manchester college before the Lin- lawn and Wabash high schools. Later the de¬ baters traveled to Huntington College where they met with a fine reception and left with both de¬ cisions. Also a few weeks later the affirmative teams of Marion and Goshen Colleges met in de¬ bate. As a climax to the season’s activities the teams entered the Manchester, Huntington debate tournament, where they made a record of which Marion College may justly be proud. Through¬ out the season the debaters did ' excellent work, having a percentage of .591, as compared with 500 in 1937, and .428 in 1936. DEBATE Back row: Wiley, Goodman, Buckman, Newton.

Although this is only the second year of its existence the organization has won recognition as one of the m st active and progres¬ sive groups on the campus. The primary purpose of this organization is to direct int ?rcollegiate debating. The Athenian Forensic Club is unique in that it is the only organization charged fvith the duty of inter¬ collegiate debates. Outstanding among the debates scheduled was the Anderson-Taylor-Marion triangular tournament held here. Desiring to provide training for the future vtrsity t eams, the club inaugurated this year a “B” debate squad. Membe ' s of these teams had the uiivihigE o $ enriching their oicpopionoo by pai ticipation in the “B” division of the N. Manchester tournament, with rhe cooperation of our “B” squad the future looks bright for debate in Marion College. 61 — The Council of Cheerful Comrades, composed of the women of Teter Hall, find that through organization and association a better spirit of fellowship and unity is maintained. Under the leadership of the Dean of Women, they strive to uphold the spiritual as well as the social atmosphere, and regulate dormitory life and ac¬ tivities with Christian spirit. The members of the council believe that God creat¬ ed each life for a high and holy purpose; and, that in faithful and con¬ scientious performance of the daily tasks that come to their hands, shall they find the greatest usefulness and happiness. The girls desire to live an unselfish, serene, strong, and cheerful life. The offices of this organization are President, Vice-president, Secre¬ tary, Treasurer, Social committee, Decorating committee, and House com¬ mittee. Meetings of the council are called by the President or Dean of Women at any time a need arises. The C. C. C.’s sponsor some outstanding social activities during the year, including the Christmas, Valentine, and Birth¬ day dinners. Top row: E. Smith, M. Smith, T. Cosand, E.

WOLVERINE CLUB U___« On the campus of Mari¬ on College we find a group of students from the state of Michigan. Although they are loyal to their own beautiful state with its many lakes and pine trees, the Wolverines have a worthwhile goal and pur- desire to see those of other state clubs feel ously with the enriching and uplifting of their own lives in a Christian institution the people from Michigan have made an out¬ standing contribution to the school. They endeavor to uphold all ideals and standards of our college and to create a greater interest for the school in the state of Michigan. Students from the Wolverine state are well represented in the organizations and extra¬ curricular activities on the campus and join in helping Marion College put “first things first.” This year the club has been led by Eleanor Reynolds, president; Wanda Baker, vice-pres¬ ident; Florence Darnell, secretary-treasurer; and Professor Allen Bowman, faculty spon¬ sor. Friendliness and good fellowship mark the character of every member of this organiza¬ tion and spell a bright future for each one “Down on the Old Triangle” and in the home state. Many new students from this northern state found their way to Marion College campus in response to the drive for mem¬ bership in the Wolverine Club. — 63 The Hoosier Club feels that it can justly be proud of Marion College with her high standards and ideals. Indiana students • wel eom e theg e .. - from other - pa -g te - o f ' the coTIntry to share with ' ' them the opportunities of a Christian College. The Hoosiers desire to see those, of other state clubs, feel at home on their beautiful campus and join in making each year one of greater progress and success to the institution. All Indiana, from the hills along the Ohio River to the Lake regions, is represented in the Hoosier Club. Since this is naturally the largest club, it has representatives in prac- tically every activity of Marion College. Without members of the Hoosier Club in the student body, the halls of the school would be quite empty. The Hoosier Club is especially interested in having the Marion High School graduates become students of Marion College. They es¬ tablished a new custom last year of sponsor¬ ing a special Marion High School day each year. At this time the club provides various entertainment, such as, baseball, tennis, and a special program after which refreshments are served and the High School students are shown through the buildings. This activity encourages interest and enthusiasm for Mari¬ on College. Thus, the Hoosiers make a worthy contribution to their Alma Mater. HOOSIE CLU Top row: R.

This organization has for its purpose the upholding of the standards and ideals of Marion College and the furthering of its interests in the south. The club sponsors dinners, chapel programs, sports, and other functions. Th e Diki e s ar e j ustly pr o ud of t h e p e rsonnel uf ti r e kfruuu— two “colo- nels” sing in the Varsity Quartet, four faculty members come from the south, James Bolen won the Tennis Championship, and almost all the club members serve in responsible positions in college organizations and gospel team work.

WESTERNERS CLUB From states west of Indiana and north of the Mason Dixon line come a spirited group of students and faculty members known as the Westerners. There are eight states represented this year—-Illinois, Kansas, Colorado, Dakota, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Washing¬ ton. For the year 1937-38 the Westerners brought from their states the largest percentage of increase in students, which won for them the shield. This encourages them to work even more diligently for the forwarding of Marion College in the Western states. It is the purpose of the Westerners to promote the interests of Marion College in the west and also to exemplify western ideals within the school. Members of this organization have been active in literary, athletic, musical and religious organizations. The officers for this year were Robert Howlett, of Iowa, president; Clinton Jones, of Wisconsin, vice president; and Elvie Turner of South Dakota, secretary-treasurer. This club has done a great deal to broaden the interests of Marion College over a greater territory and thus make a worthy contribution to the school. •m “Beautiful Ohio” is well represented on the cam¬ pus of Marion College, hav¬ ing the largest foreign state representation in the school. The Buckeyes were the first to organize this type of club. Warm friendships among the students of the Buckeye state and the promotion of interests in Marion College have been outstanding contributions to this organization. The Club has advanced under the capable leadership of Donald Fisher, President; Lud¬ low Corbin, Vice-president; Joy Miller, Sec¬ retary-treasurer; and Professors Kershner and DeVol as co-sponsors. In the contest held in the fall among the state clubs for the securing of new students the Buckeyes won second place. It is the purpose of the club to reach a higher goal in membership for the coming year. This year the club suffered the sudden loss of one of her newest members. Bertha Ros- encrance, a freshman, of high scholastic abil¬ ity, was instantly killed in an automobile ac¬ cident. An effective memorial chapel service was held by members of the club. During the spring term an interesting his¬ torical program was given celebrating the one hundred fiftieth year of the founding of Marietta, Ohio. Students of the Buckeye Club have made a lasting contribution to the school and are looking eagerly to the future which holds much in store for them of success and hap¬ piness. 67 — First Row: Wiley, Corbin, Tatsch, D.

The quartette was a “melting pot” of the west and south this year. The dusty west was represented by Mr. Jackson from Kansas, Mr. Howlett from Iowa. The sunny south gave us the other two smiling chaps—Mr. Bolen, North Carolina and Mr. Mayfield, South Carolina. The quartette has had a successful year; all kinds of religious services were attended—conferences, state young peoples conventions, revival meetings, and regular church services. One of the outstanding contributions of the group this year was a revival meeting in which the boys were co-workers with Dr. W. C. McIntyre. This revival held at the Beulah M. B. C. Church was one of real inspiration and blessing. In addition to the various meetings the quartette has broadcast several times during the year. This group has been putting out literature to quite a number of pros¬ pective students, as they go from place to place. In the past summer travels, it is estimated that about 75,000 people heard the boys “in person.” The quartette has been privileged to meet and work with outstanding evangelists such as, Dr. John L. Brasher, Dr. Joseph Owens, Dr. Paul nib,_They.ha,ve also brrn v.n-Iahorpr.s with., a—R ' W. C ' .—r. . Ar m s t rung; - R v. Graves, Rev. Rollie Wise, and Rev. J. M. Hames.

Scueel f .and ■ Lc •i _ The Marion College Choir was founded in the early spring of 1937 by Herman Baker, its present con¬ ductor and Director of the School of Music. The choir was organized n I Inwing ' znr INIMMIW the College Community Chorus. This group is now composed of 20 selected, well-trained voices, and is probably the most advanced vocal organization of its kind that has represented this institution in many years. Most of the singing is done “a Capella.” The Choir has sung for various types of services throughout the year. It broadcast over WOWO; sang for M. C. Harvest Day, M. C. Fall Revival, The Emily Flinn Home of Marion, the M. C. District Young Peo¬ ple’s Convention, and in the various church services throughout Indiana. The group has traveled quite ex¬ tensively this Spring, holding services on Sunday after¬ noons and evenings. The Choir has dedicated itself to the ministry of Sacred song, with the specific purpose of singing the vital message of the gospel. Backed by Christian ex¬ perience in the lives of the singers, the hymns were interpreted in an expressive manner that touched the hearts of the hearers. The Choir has made a worth¬ while and lasting contribution to Marion College. First row: R. Cosand, Nash, M. Fish, Huffman, McRoberts, Alte, Banker.

MARION COLLEGE CHOIR — 69 — ALUMNI Dr. Charles A. Priest President of Alumni Association We see new faces in our alumni. They are friendly faces, made so by home ties and by mingling with pleasing personalities at a College of Christian influence. The Alumnus shall continue to look forward to the time when each year we have that glorious pleasure of meeting and having communion with such friends, along life’s pathway. When we meet those friends, we like to think of greeting people who’s hearts are filled with gardens of flowers of human kindness that continue to bloom and become more fragrant as time unfolds the beauty and har¬ mony of the souls within. May the fragrance of such gardens permeate the lives and hearts of all who follow, that they may live in the Garden the Master has planned, where none can see other than beauty. Very truly, Dr. Charles A. Priest. — 70 SPECIAL STUDENTS 1 93 7- 38 MUSIC ALLEN BOWMAN FRANCES STAFFORD ALBERTA BOWMAN NANNA SHARP ALICE BOWMAN MARCELINE SMITHEE BURL CROWE ESTHER SMITHEE MAXINE COOK LUCILLE BAKER NORMA FITE JIMMY HAYS KATHERINE HIATT EDWIN COLE RICHARD HELM MARTHA DRAGSTREM ROMA E.

McCONN LOUISE FAUNCE AMOS JACKSON MARION KEMPER —71 — The success of the 1937- 38 athletic year has been due in a large measure to the efforts of Coach Ronald D. Jones. After finishing his B. S. in Ed. degree here in 1936, Jones attended one term at the State Univers¬ ity where he majored in physical education. For the past two years he has serv¬ ed M. C. as athletic director, at the same time finishing his Theological degree. Mr. Jones makes clean sports a part of his religious life and inspires every student with his winning personality and fine spirit of sportsmanship. The Men’s Fall Tennis Tourney was won this year by Jim Bolen from the sunny South, defeating Dean Gregory in a close and hotly-contested match. The finals took on the aspect of an intersectional battle by bringing together the Dixie boy from North Carolina and the stocky western lad from the state of Washington. The tourney was marked by upsets, eliminating such seeded players as Jackson, Newton, and Clark and bring¬ ing to the top several new players. The Women’s tourney remained at home again in tho Hoosier Club when Dorothy West eliminated Ada Tuttle in the finals to be crowned tennis queen. At right, Gregory gets his mouth set for an ace serve while Bolen is on his toes to return it. Newton watches in¬ tently and Tidball keeps score in mid-air. In the corners below are pictured the two champs, Bolen and West, trophies, rac¬ quets, smiles and all. Just before the final tilt the two enemies shake while Jackson and Newton console themselves with being eliminated. The courts have been moved to a new lo¬ cation to make room for the construction of the new church. Starting the soft-ball season with a tremendous bang the boys trounced the faculty-alumni team 23-2 in the annual Harvest Day classic. In spite of Prof. Porter’s splendid mound work, President McConn’s spectacular fielding, and Dr. Barrett’s mighty swing, the faculty was no match for their young opponents. Renewing the feud between the literary societies, the Amphics took advantage of a series of breaks and errors to win the first game 8-4. Whereupon the Eurekans, led by the towering Bob Moore, assumed the look of bulldog determination that you see in the picture and rallied behind the pitching arm of Clinton Jones to take the second game 7 -4. In the insets above we see the smiling victorious Am- phic squad, bats, balls, gloves and all. The determined, hard-fighting Eureka men gather around their captain and assume that “do-or-die” look. Dr. Barrett slashes out a long one and Tidball stretches his 6 foot frame to reach it. President McConn, Eureka Hatton, and Amphic Kaufman show us some fancy fielding. Elliott gets set for the pitch, Turner runs after a hit, and Wilson slides. The last picture is two bats and a ball—or is it Reid’s head? At the right, Fisher opens his mouth and slips the pill across while Prof. Porter gets ready to swing. Tatsch gets off to a start after a hit while Reid watches the ball from the field.

L, , Coach Ronald Jones has in¬ augurated into the athletic pro¬ gram this year a class in tumb¬ ling, which has aroused much- interest among the men. Loos¬ ening their muscle-bound joints the mentor mercilessly put the boys through formations of rolls, springs, and flips, and many were the groans of sore muscles and stiff joints. Instruction in the use of the flying rings and swing¬ ing bar also formed a part of the class work. Gentlemen what beautiful feet you havpt Rr li= n anrl .Tarksnn Recognizing the important place which physical develop¬ ment occupies in well-rounded school life, Coach Jones has in¬ stituted into the curriclulum an efficient and enjoyable program of physical training for both their -awk wa r d nes s 1 t n the bar while Stan Banker ele¬ vates his No. ll’s in the “neck- stand.” No. it isn’t a “gathering of the nuts”, but it’s a “bum” pyramid.

Be careful Elsie, don’t fall! Dottie is held in suspense. It may be art but it looks like a “dog-pile.” During the spring rainy season the hardwood floor became swelled in places, so the entire floor was take n up and relaid six inches higher. New equip¬ ment is continually being added for the athletic program. t i .d f Following a plan of lively in¬ tra-mural competition, the bas¬ ketball season furnished plenty of thrills and excitement. Emerg¬ ing victorious in the class tourn¬ ament were the Junior lads, who won the finals by defeating the Frosh boys 25-18 in a hard-fought game. In the intersociety sched¬ ule the Amphics won the trophy for the third consecutive year by winning two out of three games 31-21, 19-27, 22-20. The Hoosier team copied after their feminine colleagues and also won the state club championship by In a three game intersociety schedule the Eureka lassies made a clean sweep of the slate to win the society championship. Piloted by Lobdell, the Eurekas formed a smooth-working floor machine that subdued their ri¬ vals in straight games 42-8, 36-28, and 24-22. The Amphic girls, defeating the Westerners 35-9 howovo ’, made them rrom lett to right anove are it by forcing them into an over¬ time period in the final game. The snappy Hoosier team won the state-club championship by trouncing the Buckeye lassies 31-11. In the College-Normal tilt, the degree girls nosed out their pedagogical-aspiring rivals in two thrilling games, 15-11 and 28-11. But let’s see who we have here. You’re right, folks, at the top we find the champs, the Eureka lassies. Next come the Buckeye and the Amphics, and last but not least, the Hoosier girls. Note the smile of victory. the Smiling Sophs, the Fighting Frosh, the Jolly Juniors, and the Snappy Seniors. In the insets Fisher does some fancy guard¬ ing while “dead-eye” Moore takes a bead on the basket and Bolen tries a one-hander. Wil¬ son tries a free-throw and Coach Ronnie shows the boys how to handle the ball. crag FALL TOURNAMENT MEN’S TENNIS BASKETBALL REVIEW Eurekans 12 Fresh Jr. 36 Fresh.

FEBRUARY: The heights by great men reached and kept, Were not attained by sudden flight, But they, while their companions slept Were toiling upward in the night. MARCH: Like the howling winds are the ways of Fate, As we journey on through life: ’Tis the set of the soul, that determines the goal, And not the stress and the strife. APRIL Love’s redeeming work is done, Fought the fight, the battle won; Death in vain forbids Him rise; Christ has opened Paradise. MAY: The noblest thoughts my soul can claim The holiest words my tongue can frame, Unworthy are to praise the name The blessed name of Mother. JUNE: And what is so rare as a day in June? Then, if ever, come perfect days; Then, heaven tries earth if it be in tune, And over it softly her warm ear lays; Whether we look or whether we listen, We hear life murmur, we see it glisten.

SEPTEMBER: Our life is a school of education Each day we give a recitation Death ends the term without vacation Then comes the heart examination. OCTOBER: The year has lost its leaves again The world looks old and grim; God folds his robe of glory thus That we may see but Him. NOVEMBER: Great God! we thank Thee for this home, This bounteous birthland of the free, For all in life that Thou dost give, Thy love, it cares for even me.
