Its purpose is not only the regulation of school transactions but also social and inspira¬ tional fellowship am ong its members. This organization is entertained once a month during the school year in the homes of various members. Each plays a definite part in the activities of the entire year, a different committee being responsible for each month ' s program. Professor C. G. Lawrence served efficiently this year as chairman of the faculty club. Included in the programs this year have been several guest speakers, namely: Mr. C. E. Guthrie, the secretary of the Y.M.C.A.; the Reverend C. G. Yeomans, Pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal church; and Professor C. L. Mack, Director of Research in the Marion City Schools. An outstanding social event of the year was in the nature of a Christmas party and gift exchange enjoyed at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John D. Williams. FACULTY CLUB [ 21 ] LASSE � . . MARTHA HELM B.

College Pastor RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES You who are graduating from Marion College have oft times been reminded of your School Moffo, Firsf Things First. To live up to that motto down through the years you will need God ' s assisting grace but bless God you shall have it if His will is ever kept in mind in your choice of First Things. You have come to Marion College from different sec¬ tions of the country, from di fferent churches—some of you hold different religious views, your home environments are different, your thoughts, you feelings have been individually different. Some one has said, When tones, thoughts or feelings individually different combine to form a consistent whole there is harmony. So out of these individually different circumstances and conditions you leave the school room to take up your various callings determined, we trust, to always put into harmonious practice your Motto, First Things First. [ 42 ] STUDENT CONFERENCE Supervising the student religious activities, the Student Conference plays a very important part in the extra-curricula of Marion College. The regular Tuesday evening worship hour has formed a nucleus for expression of spiritual life and religious devo¬ tion that is such a vital part of campus life at Marion. An unusual spirit of freedom has characterized most of the conference services this year, and many have received definite spiritual help. Besides the regular service the Student Conference conducts the daily prayer meeting during the noon hour, the weekly devotions in the dining hall, the Friday noon service at the Delta factory, and the Sunday evangelistic service at the county jail. Serving as president is Roy Clark, Theology senior, also a student pastor. Faith¬ fully assisting in the work are Donald Fisher, vice-president, and Vivian Stanley, secre¬ tary. Evangelists are Eunice Irvine, Wesley Knapp, L. J. Cherryholmes, Henry Alexander and Howard Noggle. Back row: Fisher, Knapp, Cherryholmes, Clark. Front row: Noggle, Stanley, Irvine, Alexander. B. I Ott, Goodman, Smith, Fisher, Alexander, Williams, Horrell Pres. Under the capable leadership of Georgia Horrell, the senior Y.M.W.B., has stimulated new interest in Missions. Several activities have been carried on throughout the year. The first Sunday of each month and every Wednesday noon, prayer meetings are devoted to missions. The theme used this year was India, the various as¬ pects of the country and the lives of missionaries serving there were discussed. For the first time in several years, a mission study book entitled ' Christ ' s way to the Heart of India” was used. The annual missionary convention was held March 26-28 wTth Dr. and Mrs. Arnold Hodgin and Paul Feng of Asbury College as speakers. The latter has been an interpreter and is preparing for the ministry, into which he intends to go in China. The Senior Y.M.W.B. support Missionaries every year. For two years Sterl and Marie Phinney, Marion College Graduates have been supported. [ 44 ] The Young Peoples Society of the Wesleyan Methodist College Church is a very important organization in the development of the spiritual life of students. Young People of the various denominations are invited to belong and there is a wonderful spirit of fellowship and co-operation among the members. Those in charge have endeavored to present a program of interest, instruction and inspiration. Interest, by a variation of topics and speakers, instruction of the fundamental principles requisite to the development of holy Christian character in living and serving, and inspiration by the study of great lives and subjects vital to Christian experience. An outstanding program of the year was The Life of Christ in Story and Song ' which was fitly portrayed by scripture and music. The young people have been active in various rallys. A district rally was held at the Marion College Church in March with Rev. T. C. Harvey as the speaker.

Amphictyon, the friendly and neighborly society, endeavors to promote literary and musical interests in Marion College. She accepts for her emblem, the ship and urges every member to sail on to greater literary achievement. The first program of the year on Service showed the ability as well as an appreciation for good music and literature. The programs through the year have helped the Apmhictyons to attain their goal of a greater spiritual atmosphere and understanding. Leadership of the current year was vested in Stanley Banker, and Mary Bales, president and secretary for the fall term; Sheldon Jackson and Madeline Knotts, win¬ ter term; Donald Fisher and Rose Stair, spring term. Professor Herman Baker, acting as critic, inspired and directed the activities into safe channels. The tradition and successes of the past are cherished but broad seas of op¬ portunity lure on. If you are a-feelin ' Sad and kinda blue, Pack your grip and take a trip With the Amphic crew. [ 46 ] Th.e past year has been one of triumph for the Eureka Literary Club. Each member has proved loyal in supporting its plans this year. During the first term the club won the Marionette sales con¬ test for the seventh consecutive year. President and secretaries of the club for the first, second, and third terms were Woodrow Goodman and Edna Dericks; Dean Gregory and Ruth Young; Robert Howlett and Frances Garrett. With the leadership of these the club has been enabled to present worthwhile programs in literature, mu¬ sic and art. Two projects of unusual interest, Thoughts for the Day and Let ' s Get Acquainted with Pictures, were presented in the Eureka publicity box by the club ' s efficient artist, Thomas Russell. Thus, the desire of the Eureka Literary Club is to contribute to the upbuilding of the school and to prepare its members for service throughout life.

Debate is the only opportunity Marion College students have for inter-collegiate competition. This year ' s team enjoyed a successful season, winning eleven out of twenty-four decisions. Early in January Marion was host to Huntington College and Taylor University in a triangular tournament. Later both teams met Goshen College and Manchester College. Just before the Manchester Tournament on February 24 and 25, Marion was host to Asbury College. After breaking even in the tournament, the team closed the season on March 8 with a dual victory over the debaters from Houghton College. Included in the Varsity Quartette are: Bass, Robert Howlett, Marengo, Iowa; Baritone, James Bolen, Ashboro, North Carolina; First Tenor, Thomas Russell, Summit- ville, Indiana; Second Tenor, Sheldon Jackson, Northbranch, Kansas. Aside from singing, each one makes a definite contribution in the ministry of the word. Thomas Russell, an accomplished chalk artist, accompanied on the piano by James Bolen, draws inspirational pictures. During the school year this group traveled 7,000 miles giving concerts and gospel services in churches of different denominations. The Marion College Choir in its third year of organization has contributed defini¬ tely to the churches and communities of the state. Under the splendid leadership of Professor Herman Baker, the choir represents the college in singing the vital message of the gospel. The choir is versatile in that other phases of music besides singing are stressed. Samuel Walter accompanies on organ and piano, while readings, violin selections, and vocal solos are given by different members. Pres. McConn, Goodman, Ford, Jones, Fisher.

I j — ATHENIAN FORNESIC CLUB One of the most active organizations in Marion College is the Athenian Forensic Club which sponsors the inter-collegiate de¬ bating activities of the school. Early in the year the club was organized and the question for debate announced so that all began working for fhe tryouts held for the A team in December. Those not being chosen for the A team had opportunity later to try out for the B teams which participated in the Manchester tournament. The B team this year was composed of George Ott and Roy Clark, affirmative; Richard Chambers and Roger Wood, negative. This team went with the A team to the Manchester tournament at Huntington, winning, losing, and making friends with students of other schools. Other members of the debate club served as chairmen and time keepers at the A team debates. Back row: Ramsburg, W. Goodman, Ott, R. Cosand, A. Chapman. Middle row: R. Wood, R. Clark, Bowers.

The Hoosier club, in its fifth year of organization, has the largest membership of any of the state clubs. This organization forwards the in¬ terests of Marion College in Grant County and throughout the state by urging hearty support of the school. The club has been influential and has aided in maintaining the high standards of the school. Serving as officers this year were: Stanley Banker, president; Mil¬ dred Cole, vice-president; Ruth Anna Thomas, secretary; Ruby Williams, treasurer. A new custom was established two years ago by the Hoosier Club in setting aside a day for the entertainment of the Marion High School Seniors. At this time the club provides various entertainment, such as, baseball, tennis, and a special pro¬ gram, after which refreshments are served and the High School students are shown through the buildings. This activity encourages interest and enthusiasm for Marion College. WOLVERINE CLUB U _rr __ of Michigan Included on the campus of Marion College are a group of students from the state of Michigan. The Wolverines have a worthwhile goal and purpose, with those of other states, in their desire to see the enriching and uplifting of their own lives in a Christian institution, although they are loyal to their own beautiful I state. They endeavor to uphold all the ideals and standards of our college and to create a great interest for the school in the state The Wolverine state is well represented in the organizations and extra-curricular activities on the campus and joins in helping Marion College put first things first. The club has been led this year by Keith McRoberts, president; Shermon Tidball, vice-president; Opal Everson, secretary-treasurer; and Professor Allen Bowman, faculty sponsor. Friendliness and good fellowship mark the character of every member of this organization.

The states represented this year are: Iowa, South Dakota, North Dakota, Wis¬ consin, Washington, Colorado, Kansas and Illinois. This club makes a definite contribution to the musical activi¬ ties of Marion College. Two representatives are members of the varsity quartet and two are in the Gospel Messengers Quartet, while four are singing in the Marion College Choir. Along the line of athletics, the club has been very active and the basketball team was undefeated. For the second consecutive year the Westerners have succeeded in increasing the percentage of membership above that of any other club in the school, thus win¬ ning the shield. The officers for the current year were: president, Robert Howlett; vice-president, Esther Mendenhall; secretary-treasurer, Leola Ellis; faculty sponsor, Miss Emerson.

Of course, their first loyalty is to dear old Marion College but they take pride in the achievement of the club as a whole. This year several of its members have been accorded honors for their ability. Three were chosen for the Who ' s Who in American Col¬ leges and Universities ; two have worked faithfully in the debate team and several have definitely contributed to the spiritual growth of the school by participation in the work of the gospel teams. Some plan to take up work as pastors in the near future while others anticipate entering the teaching field. This year again the Buckeyes ranked second in the state club contest for the se¬ curing of new students. It is with increasing interest in the gaining of new members that the Buckeyes leave the campus this spring. BUCKEYE CLUB a I X IE CL ’Dixie! ' Even the word sends a thrill to the heart of every Southern student, and makes stronger the bond of unity among the club members. Not only are the Dixie loyal to the beautiful Southland, but to Marion College. The South has contributed three members to the faculty, namely: Professor Vess, Professor Lawrence and Pro¬ fessor Young. The membership is made up of those students coming from states south of the Mason and Dixon line. The states represented this year are the Carolinas, Virginia, Georgia, and Alabama. This organization has for its purpose the upholding of the standards and ideals of Marion College and is endeavoring to spread her fame in the South. The club members have taken active part in various activities including the Varsity Quartet, Gospel Teams, W.Y.P.S., Girl ' s Quartet, and Athletics. Velma Murphy, degree senior has served as assistant registrar for two years. Top row: Stone, Prof. Lawrence. Middle row: Ramsburg, Bolen, Wood. Bottom row : Bond, Cude, Gregory, Murphy. Prof. Barrett, McMullen, S. Walter, Wright, P. Walter, Elliott, Moore, Lapharn. From two eastern states, Pennsylvania and New York, come the eight members of the Easterners Club. Although it is the smallest of the state clubs, being organized just this year, it has already made a definite contribution to Marion College. Much needed redecoration in the chapel was done in the rebronzing of radiafors and railing and varnishing of the platform. The Easterners did not enter heaviiy into the realm of sport, although they com¬ bined with the Dixies during the basketball season. Due to the small membership, each one holds an office, namely: president, Samuel Walter; vice-president, Roma Lapham; secretary, Neal Wright; treasurer, Paul Wal¬ ter; program and decorating committees, Betty Moore, Freddie McMullen and Marl¬ ing Elliott; Faculty advisor and athletic director, Dr. Barrett. Friendliness and cooperation mark the character of every member of the club and spell a bright future in the activities of another year.

On the campus of Marion College in the building called Teter Hall, live a group of happy and coopera¬ tive girls, who have an organization known as the Council of Cheerful Comrades. This organization is for the purpose of binding the girls into one body of Christian love and fellowship, and to sponsor various social activities of school life. Business meetings which are held after 7:00 o ' clock in the evening are usually called by the Dean of Women or the President of the club. About the time of the Christmas, Valentine or Birthday dinners, groups of girls may be seen here and there working laboriously on decora¬ tion, yet having a good time. Besides social activities, the religious aspect is stressed through the ten minute devotional period each morning before breakfast. Thus through the work of the C.C.C., forty girls are enabled to live together happily and harmoniously. Elliott, Deal, Fisher, Beaver, Palmer, Lockwood, Cosand, Ford, Clark, Pres. Goodman. ti I F Less than a year ago appeared the organization known as the Student Council. Each class president, the social deans and an elected representative from each class compose the organization. Objectives of the Council are: to promote a better understanding between the faculty and students; to coordinate student activities; to provide for functions of an all-school nature; and to initiate legislation for faculty consideration. During the past year a series of resolutions have been passed designed to make the offices of secretary and treasurer of the Council clearing houses for the business of student organizations. Definite steps have resulted in the initiation of the point system governing extra curricular activities and the revision of regulations concerning absences. Functions of an all-school nature that have been directed by the Council are the Armistice Day observances, the all-school social, Arbor Day activities, and the enter¬ tainment of the State Oratorical Contest. STUDENT COUNCIL [ 58 ] T e Inter-Societv Council is the organization which integrates the activities of the two literary societies. This group sponsors the Marionetle sales contest in the fall and the Literary contests in the spring; for the latter, the Council secures the donors of the prizes and makes the rules and regulations. A new inter-society contest which met with much enthusiasm was the Spelling Bee in February. Composing the council are three members from each society. Each club presi¬ dent, by virtue of his office, is a member of the council and the two other members are elected for the entire year. The Eurekean representatives were Woodrow Good¬ man, Dean Gregory, Evelyn Cosand, Ludlow Corbin and Robert Howlett. The Am- phictyon were Donald Fisher, Ruby Williams, Sheldon Jackson and Stanley Banker. The officers for the year were: Evelyn Cosand, president; Ruby Williams, secre¬ tary-treasurer; and professor DeVol faculty adviser. Top row: Goodman, Fisher, Prof. DeVol, Corbin. Bottom row: Williams, Cosand, (inset) Banker. Under the leadership of Richard Hammond as president and George Deal as vice-president, the Current History Club has been very progressive the past year. This organization has endeavored to secure the views and opinions of other colleges and schools regarding contemporary history. The Second Annual International Relations Convention with representatives from colleges of Indiana, Ohio and Michigan, was held last fall. Among the problems discussed this year were: the English-Palestine situation by Joan Darby of Western College; the Jewish problem; the Congressional program; and current legislative issues. The Taylor University International Relations Club was the guest of the local club here, May 3. The annual Banquet was held here May 15, with J. E. Frederick, presi¬ dent of Indiana State Chamber of Commerce, as speaker. A significant event of the year was the presentation of a bronze plaque to Mr. :John Williams, College treasurer, in recognition of his faithful service to the school. Thirty peppy girls form the membership of the hiking club. The aim of each girl is to hike at least one hundred miles. The mileage quota increases each consecutive year, 125 the second, 135 the third and 150 miles for the fourth year. The award is given in the form of a letter with one bar for each year that the quota has been reached. The hikes are of different lengths, four, five, eight and ten miles. Last fall the first hike was taken by the entire group with an outdoor breakfast as a grand finale. Since then the girls have hiked in small groups or pairs. In a determined effort to receive a better type of letter this year, the club sold candy in the dormitory and at the basketball games. The officers this year included Mabel Jones as president and Miss Lapham as Faculty Sponsor. [ 60 ] Back row: Walter, Dunn, Strange, Wood, Bridenstine.

This group was busy all year playing in high schools of the county and surrounding communities. It also provided dinner music for the various dinners sponsored by the C.C.C. The repertoire of this group is varied, including the lighter and heavier classical music, secular and sacred numbers. [ 62 ] Top row: Books, Crabb, Sharp, Cox, Sanburn, M.

The soloists included: So¬ pranos, Esther Mendenhall and Ruth Anna Thomas; Contraltos, Evelyn Cosand, Evelyn Lockwood and Naomi Harris; Tenors, Sheldon Jackson and Thomas Russell; Bass, Rendel Cosand. Accompanying the group were Mrs. Gretchen Thomas Parker, pianist; Martha Helm and Samuel Walter, organists. [ 63 ] SCIENCE CLUB Science in Marion College has enjoyed its full share of stu¬ dent interest, due to science teachers thoroughly interested in their respective teaching fields. Club members have been most enthusiastic. The purpose of the Science Club is to promote interest by student participation in programs, projects, field trips and visits to industrial plants. Membership to the club is open to students enrolled in science or to those who have taken science either in college or in high school. This year, programs and projects have centered around the theme of honoring God who created man and the world. An outstanding feature was a lecture on Science and the Bible delivered by Professor Charles DeVol. Physics demonstrations comprised the first programs of the season and later the High School Science Club participated in a joint program. The officers for the current year were: Donald Boone, president; and Ruth Young, secretary-treasurer. Back row: Winchell, Billheimer, Booher, Young, Rickey, Miller, Goodman, Thomas, Chapman, Lobdell, Elliott, Tescher, Bowers, Smithee, Noggle, Alexander, Conkling, R. Wood, Stewart.

[ 64 ] ON THE OLD TRIANGLE Gladys Hall, ' 27 In the heart of Hoosier land There’s a place we think it’s grand, There’s a spot which we are proud to call our own There a Triangle is found, Where are hearts are firmly bound; And a loyal band of students tried and true. Oh, the games we like to play, At the closing of the day, In the parlor of our dear old Teter Hall; Oh, the songs we like to sing ’Til we make the chapel ring, And the fellowship of friends the best of all. Oh, we sometimes met our doom In the Mathematics room; And we sometimes feel as though we had the blues; But we’ll buckle in and grin, Tho’ our pocket books be thin, For we’re happy in the ups and downs of life. Refrain : Down on the Old Triangle, Oh, Pals! the times we’ve had, Down on the Old Triangle School never seemed so bad; And when out in life with its toil and strife, We’ll remember our dear Old Triangle.

Interest in the athletic curriculum this year is due primarily to our instructor, Clinton Jones. Clinton has completed a most strenuous summer ' s preparatory course at Indiana University. Coach Jones proceeded to apply all his knowledge of physical training to the stiff joints and soft, flabby muscles of the underclassmen. The limelight of the fall athletics was occupied by the game of touch-football played on the athletic field. Upper right is the huddle of brains (?) while lower left shows the line-up of the battle of beef and brawn. The center group of five pictures represents the tennis activities which usually play a major part in the athletics, but which this year were inconspicuous because of the construction of the new courts. In its place was substituted the game of ping-pong. Upper left and lower right show Fisher ' s brawn pitted against Eddys ' brain. j i i i, I hi [ 70 ] The Amphics certainly did shine in softball games. The Eurekan team (upper left) was defeated in both the fall and spring contests by the Amphics huskies (lower right). Upper row shows Amphic twirler S. Banker, backed by umpire Jones. Then there is Woody and Catcher Reid, and Jim Clark fills in nicely anywhere. In the second row, Miller looks them over close¬ ly, Dixon Wood pitches right across, while, out in the field Gulliford gets set for a grounder and Wood winds up for the pitch. The third row gives us a birds-eye view of handsome mentor Jones, while Lucille Fisher takes the center of the picture and adds a feminine touch to the page. It ' s a good thing you didn ' t see what happened just before this next picture, because Palmer just finished spilling ' ' Don in a slide on third base. Finally Max Ban¬ ker assumes his bow-legged pose while Birchfield demon¬ strates his batting technique. Coach Jones is viewing the game lying on the grass, while he nursed his injured ankle. BALL.... [ 71 ] GYM CLASSES In the physical training curriculum, calisthenics and tumbling form a ma¬ jor part. In the first row Pettiford forms the nuc¬ leus and Fulcher the apex of this masculine pyramid, while the girls ' class gives us their interpretation of “limber looie. In the sec¬ ond row, Ott and Clinker of the boys, and Knotts and Harris of the girls de¬ monstrate basketball handling and guard tech¬ nique. Eddy and Fulcher do a double headstand, while coach gets the eye of every girl in his class. No, they ' re not grasshop¬ pers, just the boys doing calisthenics. Then the girls and boys respectively de¬ monstrate the weather vane and the upward stretcher, while Pettiford and Eddy are shown in the shoulder stand and Jones in the kick forma¬ tion. + k o 4 + A, I c °UrGE | M tO, ' iLCGf +W04, ' OLGCCj nicer + ' 04, c 0LLE0M mi; I 8 ' .-■ , : c OiLroti .gileg 1 VI a p;. +b K ' ° -QlllV- !

In the inter-society tourney the Eurekan boys broke the three year losing streak and emerged victor¬ ious in two consecutive games, both games being won by only a single point. The Buckeyes tied with the Westerners for first place in the state club competition, and the Sophomores came out on top in the interclass schedule, with the Senior Quintet a very close sec¬ ond. Teams pictured are as follows: (top row) left to right, Frosh, Juniors, and Westerners; (second row) Eurekan Aggregation captain¬ ed by Dixon Wood, the Amphic squad led by Don Fisher, and a good squint of coach Jones; (third row) Dixies, Seniors and Hoosiers. BASKETBALL i i i. The women ' s basketball games were marked by several high scores, but unfortunately that does not tell much about the games. How those girls could get in there and play ball! The Eurekan girls again captured the women ' s basketball crown by defeating the Amphics in two straight games. The Hoosiers also again emerged victorious in the state club tilts by beating both the Buckeyes and the Westerners. Two basketball queens are pictured for us here. In the upper left is Edna Dericks; captain of both the Eurekans and Buckeyes, and the lower right is Mary Bales, captain of both the Amphics and the Hoosiers. The teams pictured are (upper row) Buckeyes and Amphics, (center) Westerners, (bottom row) Eurekans and Hoosiers. ' BALL SOFT Amphictyons MEN vs. Eurekans CLARK, J. C MILLER BANKER, S.
