Published by THE STUDENT BODY MARION COLLEGE Marion, Indiana The loiver hall at old M. C., A good behveen-class rendezvous: A place to talk or look for mail Or make a date or get a drink — In all its uses it becomes More versatile than you might think. THE 1940 MARIONETTE OF MARION COLLEGE TURNS TO THE BULLETIN BOARD FOR INSPIRATION IN THE RECORDING OF THE DAILY AND MONTHLY EVENTS THAT COMPRISE THE ACTIVITIES OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. THE BULLETIN BOARD HAS BECOME ALMOST A TRADITION, FOR MANY TIMES A DAY EACH STU¬ DENT TURNS TO IT FOR INFORMATION CONCERN¬ ING CLASSES, MEETINGS, WORK, AND ALL THE NUMEROUS OTHER ACTIVITIES WHICH MAKE UP SCHOOL LIFE. V ROGER L. WOOD, Editor STERRETT L. NASH, Business Manager PROFESSOR PORTER, Faculty Adviser f What is a college without its student body? The students in large measure determine the success of an institution, whether it be spiritually or scholastically. This year has witnessed a considerable increase in the enrollment of Marion College. And these increased numbers of students have been of fine quality, and have made a great contribution to the progress of Marion College in many ways. They have possessed to a very large extent those qualities of friendliness, loyalty, cooperation, unselfishness and de¬ votion to God which are so desirable in an institution of this kind. It is, therefore, to this fine student body who contribute so largely to the success of Marion College, The school that puts first things first,” that the Marionette for 1940 is dedicated. King Winter covers the ground, the trees, and the buildings with a beautiful blanket of snow, bringing out more of the untold beauties of Nature.

The College Church . . . a beautiful structure both ■within and without . . . where each Sunday morn¬ ing and evening we meet to worship our God. WILLIAM F. McCONN, B.O., M.A., D.D. President The high standards of Marion College are largely due to the able leadership of Dr. W. F. McConn who has held the position of President of this institution since 1932. On October 21, 1939 the degree of Doctor of Divinity was conferred upon President McConn from Houghton College in recognition of his achievements. Mr. Williams has made an invaluable contribution to Marion College, and each student feels deeply his appreciation to our treasurer for the interest and aid given by him. Throughout the twenty years of the existence of Marion College in its present form, Mr. Williams has been connected with the school, serving as treasurer for the past thirteen years. JOHN D.

The way to cor¬ rect politics is for Christians to join in the ranks. ALLEN BOWMAN His understanding is appreciated by all ” His hobbies are walking, reading, and playing games with the children, especially checkers. An accomplishment, which is rare for a man, is that he kept a diary for 20 years of his life. He wrote a novel but it was never published. BLANCHE GOODWIN Experiences have developed a radiant personality” When she was younger, she spent her leisure time col¬ lecting stamps but now her delight is in writing missionary letters. She appreciates music. When a girl, she lived in Germany for two years. PAUL PARKER ' ' His gentle and humble spirit has won him many friends” He is one who has brought his hobby, bird study, into iiis vocation. Incidentally, typical of a preacher’s home, he has lived in tu ' elve different states. MARY DODD Her sweet ways are admired by all” It may be surprising to know that her greatest deiight, when leisure time comes her way, is to bake, especially pies and biscuits. As a Sunday School teacher for the college women, it seems she could not be surpassed. CHARLES TAYLOR Who sees, hears, and knows all ” It is very convenient that his hobby should be that of gardening. A useful hobby is profitable. INA SPARK Her glances speak louder than words” She enjoys making fancy handwork and also writing letters. Did you know that before coming to Marion in capacity of Dean of Women, she had always worked as a stenographer? HERMAN BAKER One who can appreciate humor” Beside his love for music, he spends time with his new movie camera. The art of expression has developed many a backward personality. DONALD PORTER Intelligence is outstanding” Woodworking is his art. A house trailer and a desk are his products. JOHN WILLIAMS A giving spirit will be repaid” His hobby is raising evergreens. His patient and gentle spirit is appreciated by all. WILLIAM FINNEY McCONN Humor is the spice of life” His hobby is gardening. Many are his duties but he alwa ys seems to have time to consider each person’s problems. J. H. YOUNG He is well who thinks he is” His delight is to help the fellow who is down and out and in a predicament, even if his neck is at stake. GRETCHEN PARKER Patience is her virtue” She likes to cook but that is all she likes about house work. She is so involved in her work that music or the radio seems to be her only hobby. BERNICE LAWRENCE Order is perfection” Her hobby is fancy work and when time permits, tennis. ELIZABETH AYRES Her piercing eyes penetrate” Landscape gardening is her delight. Did you know that Mrs. Ayres was a missionary to Africa? For four years she was Dean of Women. NELLIE McMICHAEL Her ways are likeable” Her hobby is art and landscape gardening. She delights in talking to foreigners, and in traveling. She has taught in Marion College since 1924. SAM WALTER He lives just to please others” Snapshots are his hobby. His talent and ability is beyond competition. ROMA LAPHAM The Golden Rule is her motto” She delights in doing things for others. Her hobby is character study. An interesting pastime of hers is collecting pictures of her friends. Tennis is her sport. CLAYTON LAWRENCE Haste makes waste” He is one who believes in keeping busy and keeping his students busy. His leisure time would be most enjoyably spent in playing tennis. E. E. BARRETT Greek is a dead language; the students are sleepy, too” It seems he makes a necessary job, gardening, his hobby. LAURA EMERSON Her smile cheers many a heart” Her hobbies are of the fine arts, such as art, music, and fancy work. The improvem ent and enlargement of the speech department can be credited largely to her friendly spirit. _ _____ Th• CU� « ' • (W r 4 � 0 « rtmll- « IMr Cr « PVt V « � •• +H«U, • f •« — ■■ ■ ■• — LJCJ-±- .

Here it was Freshman Day! The freshmen had heard rumors and their eyes were rather large, and they appeared nervous. The chairman of the Initiation Committee arose and admitted that the sophomores had a vital interest in the freshmen. The President of the Sophomore Class gave a speech after which the Freshmen were called to the platform in groups. Before they received their green caps, which contained the letters, M.C. ’43, a representative from each group was chosen to give a short speech or sing. Such subjects were given to them as: What would you do with a million dollars?” or What makes your eyes so beauti¬ ful?” etc. A diploma was given each freshman entitling them to obey the following rules: The freshmen were to obey any reasonable command given by any sophomore for the following two weeks. They were to do the serving in the dining hall for the noon meal. Respect for upper classmen was to be shown by getting off the sidewalk when meeting them. Their dress on the following day was to be thus: Girls, with their hair in pigtails and ribbons and wearing different colored shoes; Boys, with their shirts and ties on back¬ ward and ribbons in their hair. Their caps were to be worn di school hours until the Thanksgiving vacation. An unusual feature was that nt over with a bang.” The sophomores did not carry their own books or sometimes, _ven clean their own rooms. The sophomores are to be congratulated for buying the freshman caps. Uusually the Freshmen are required to initiate themselves. The greenness is fast passing away from our Freshie” friends and they are each day becoming more and more civilized.

Ruth Lindley ably filled her position during the remainder of the year. If there is a theme for this year’s book, it is the bulletin board in the lower hall in the Administration Building. It has become an integral part of life at Marion College and has a large part to play in the everyday activities of the College, be they great or small. It is our desire as the Marionette Staff that as this book is leafed through in future years it may serve as a bulletin board reminding us of the events at Marion College. Was there ever a time since M. C. began That there was no Journal? — No, never. Editors come and editors go, But t je Journal goes on forever.

May the reward that you receive only spur you on to greater heights and attainments in the years ahead. It is our sincere wish for you that you may continue in the same upright pathway to which your steps have been directed, and may you set a high goal for your future and have the satisfaction of achieving it. I take pleasure in passing the following on to you. It is an excerpt from the writ¬ ings of Bessie A. Stanley and is as good for the women of your graduating class as it is for the men. He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much; who has gained the respect of intelligent men, and the love of little children; who has filled the niche and accomplished his task; who has left the world better than when he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul; who has never lacked appreciation of earth’s beauty or failed to express it; who has always looked for the good in others and given the best he had; whose life was an inspiration; whose memory, a benediction.” And now may peace and happiness accompany you on life’s adventure, and may God watch over you and keep you. These are the wishes of your friends. College Wesleyan Church By Rev. A. E. BEYLER, Pastor STUDENT CONFERENCE Entrusted with the responsibility of directing the student religious activities, the Student Conference has sought to maintain the high Christian standards of Marion Col¬ lege and to further the development of a well-rounded Christian experience in the life of each member of the student body. A definite factor in the realization of these aims has been the weekly Tuesday evening worship hour, a period devoted to the expression of spiritual life and devotion. Under the leadership of capable student evangelists, opportunities for Christian service have been afforded in the weekly devotional hour in the dining hall, the Friday noon service at the Delta factory, the children’s hour each month at the county orphan¬ age, and the evangelistic services conducted each Sunday afternoon at the county jail. The Spirit of the Lord has graciously attended the work in each of these fields and has been responsible for a number of definite conversions. Acting in the capacity of president of the Conference is Wesley Knapp. Assisting in the various arms of the work are Howard Noggle, vice-president, and Eunice Irvine, secretary-treasurer. Evangelists are Ruth Alexander, Clinton Jones, Watson Goodman, and Madelene Knotts. Goodman. Irvine, Knapp. Knotts, Jones, Alexander, Nomrle. Y. M. W. B. Harness, Luce, Ott, Smith, Young, Goodman. ' m Harris, Waggoner, Spain, Luce, Ott, Stair, Goodman, Shirar. W. Y. P. S. Acting on the responsibility given by the command of Christ, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature,” the Y. M. W. B. of Marion College has sought to carry on its missionary program under the efficient leadership of George Ott as president. The programs, fresh and inspiring are a source of enlightment as to the existing conditions in the unevangelized areas. Earnestness and zeal on the part of the students are manifested in carrying on the work. Each year the organization sponsors a Missionary Convention. This was held March 15-17. Rev. Charles Carter and his wife of Cadillac, Michigan, who are returned mis¬ sionaries from Africa, were the speakers. Special Jubilee services were held in December. The young people’s service on the first Sunday evening of each month and the noon prayer meeting each Wednesday are devoted to missions. The Wesleyan Young Peoples’ Society is an organization for the spiritual uplift of the students attending the College Church. The services are held each Sunday before the evening service with the exception of the first Sunday of the month when the Y. M. W. B. has charge of the program. Miss Opal Luce began the year as president but due to illness had to leave school for one term. Francene Cude stepped in and very efficiently carried on the work of the society . Each service was spirit-filled and the Lord met with us. The speakers were made up of both students and outside speakers. The biggest event of the year sponsored by the W. Y. P. S. was the Marion College Area Young Peoples’ Convention. Young people from Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, and Michigan gathered at Marion College for a three day convention It was held in the College Church, April 12, 13, and 14, 1940, with Rev. Paul Rees, from Minneapolis, Minnesota and Dr. Peter Wiseman from Asbury College as principal speakers. The theme of the convention was Building with Christ in Our Modern Day.” Special music was rendered by different groups from over the Marion College Area and from the school. The convention proved to be a time of spiritual blessing and encouragement to all who attended. AMPHIETYON LITERARY SDCIETY The neighborly society reviews the past year with feelings of satisfaction and with full assurance of faith. Its satisfactions are these: satisfaction because of victories won due to the competent cooperation of every member affiliated with the society this year; satisfaction in possessing the silver loving cup, a symbol of their victory in the Marionette sales contest; satisfac¬ tion over the original program given at the first of the year entitled Friendship—” the meaning of Amphictyon; satisfaction with the gift for campus improvement. It has full assurance of faith, first in God, then in members of the Amphic Crew” that future years shall be even better years. Spurred on by the motto Sail On,” they have gone on—on to attain in spiritual things, on to growth in intellectual power to appreciate and create great literature and fine arts, and on to advance in physical culture and in sportsmanship. Amphictyon ideals are ideals that enable its members to develop well rounded useful lives, thus aiding Marion College to succeed in being A school which puts first things first.” Once an Amphic, always an Amphic.” First Row—Echols, S.

The strife is o’er, the work is done The vict’ry of the year is won. The song of conquest is begun All Hail, EUREKA!” Now that all is past concerning the year save our many memo¬ ries, we, of the Eureka Club, have a lasting consciousness of a glorious year. The heritage left to us by former members was a pace and a standard not to be maintained by indolence. In response to the challenge thrown to us by our pre¬ decessors and realizing our opportunities as Eurekans, we entered this school year full of enthusiasm. We close the year with gratifying rewards for our honest and consistent endeavors. The accomplishments and successes of the year have not resulted because of our enthusiasm, but they are the products of cooperation inspired by this zeal for con¬ quest. Eurekan loyalty has been recognized in every undertaking—thus we all rejoice in the progress that has brought us ever forward. Never to be daunted by circumstances or foe, the Eureka Literary Club has continued its triumphant march toward Excelsior.” To those who shall return, the Eureka Club leaves the sacred trust of loyalty; to those of industrious nature who are to join we offer a home of development in our Club; to all who may pass we share our spirit of cheer and helpfulness, and to God’s keeping and guidance do we hereby commit you all with our never-failing prayers for our society. EUREKA LITERARY ELUH DEBATE One of the younger organizations on the Marion College cam¬ pus is the Athenian Forensic Club organized for the purpose of sponsoring the inter-collegiate debating activities of the college. Early in the year the question for debate was announced and all began preparing for the tryout which was held for the team in December. Of the seven entrants, the judges selected Ray Echols and Harold Smuck, affirmative, and Clinton Jones and Rendel Cosand, negative, as the varsity debate team for the current year. President McConn served as coach of the team. The team has not suffered defeat this year. Smuck, Echols, President McConn, Jones, Cosand. Pres. McConn, Echols, Ramsburg.

Its schedule began with the second Sunday of the school year and has continued nearly every Sunday, having traveled over 4,500 miles. The group consists of Vivian Stanley leader and preacher of the team, and a girl’s trio, Mary Chapman, Jane Plew, and Kathleen Kelsven, who are in charge of the music. The team has held two revivals and various types of services including high school programs, missionary services, and young people’s rallies. God has blessed the ministry of the team both Plew, Chapman. Kelsven, Stanley. in mus i c an d in message. All four of the girls are members of the theological department and plan to go into Christian work. The team has made a definite contribution to the churches where it has visited, and to the interests of Marion College in general. During the summer the Gospel Team will be busily occupied in services representing the school. This is the first girls’ group that has ever traveled in the interest of Marion College during the summer months. The Varsity Quar¬ tet this year is com¬ posed of Rendel Cosand from Damas¬ cus, Ohio, bass; Wes¬ ley Knapp from Ips¬ wich, South Dakota, baritone; Thomas Russell from Sum- mitviile, Indiana, first tenor; and Sheldon Jackson from North- branch, Kansas, sec¬ ond tenor. This or¬ ganization has tra¬ veled six thousand miles during the school year representing the school and holding gospel services. A varied program is given in each service consisting of chalk pictures, musical numbers, and speaking. Tom¬ my is an accomplished chalk artist, and Rendel presides at the piano. Wesley is the official preacher of the quartet, although each member does his share of the speaking. In their services special emphasis is placed on evangelism, and many services have resulted in seekers at the altar. VARSITY QUARTET MARION COLLEGE CHOIR One of the most active and most popular groups on the campus is the Marion College Choir composed of twenty-five voices under the direction of Professor Herman Baker. Going to various churches of this state on Sunday afternoon and night nearly every week of the school year, this group has endeared itself to the hearts of hundreds of people by the radiant personality of the director and the spiritually inspired singing and glowing testimonies of the choir. The choir appeared over two radio stations, WLBC in Muncie and WOWO in Fort Wayne during this year’s itinerary. The first week in May the group took an extended tour into the state of Ohio. The choir has sought in all of its services to give a program not for entertainment, but for the spiritual encouragement of its hearers. The repertoire includes not only the finest of standard anthems, but also arrangements of old hymns and gospel songs. Soloists were Leola Ellis, soprano; W. D. Argo, tenor; and Naomi Harris, alto. Their effective renditions were of exceptional quality. A touching part of the program was a reading, The Touch of the Master’s Hand,” by Naomi Harris accompanied by Mary Ellen Beals on the violin.

In the Marion College student body there is a versatile group of students from the state of Indiana, the home of Marion College and the state of poets. This organization is the Hoosier Club. One of the goals of this club is to add to the spiritual life and reputation of the student body, thus making the school more attractive to the young people of other states as well as those of Indiana. Another of the goals is to make the entire state of Indiana, especially the surrounding communities, conscious of Marion College, a college which puts first things first. The club, to a certain extent, has reached its goal in that it has a current membership of 131, almost double the membership of the previous year. The Hoosier Club is one of the largest organizations in Marion College. Early in the fall term the Hoosiers elected these capable students to direct the activi¬ ties throughout the year: President, Howard Noggle; Vice-President, Richard Alte; Sec¬ retary, Eunice Ervine; Treasurer, George Ott; and Faculty Sponsor, Professor Meredith. As a project for the year and as a gift to the school the Hoosier Club purchased and installed an attractive new chandelier in the office of Miss Ina Spark, the Dean of Women.

OLVERIIVE ELUB From the land of beautiful lakes and summer resorts comes a group of young men and women to join with other Christian young people at Marion College. It is the earnest desire of the members of this club that they may contribute their lives to the interests of Marion College while on the campus, not only by taking places of leadership, but also by filling in the hard places, helping carry the burdens of those who have positions of responsibility, that the school might be of greater service to humanity and bring glory to God. They also are striving to increase the membership of the club and the enrollment of the school by recommend¬ ing Marion College to other young people in Michigan. The Wolverine Club has been led this year by Keith McRoberts, president; Esther Zuhl, vice-president; and Opal Luce, secretary and treasurer. WESTERNERS’ ELUB On the Marion College campus is an organization known as the Westerners’ Club, made up of students from the states west of Indiana. The states represented in this year’s club are: Washington, Oregon, Colorado, Arizona, Kansas, Oklahoma, Illinois, North Da¬ kota, South Dakota, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. The Westerners made a definite contribution to the musical activities of Marion College this year. Two representatives are members of the varsity quartet, two are in the girls’ gospel team, one is in the boys’ gos¬ pel team, two sing in the College choir, and six are members of the orchestra. Five of the Westerners are holding student pastorates along with their school work. This year a choric speech choir has been organized in Marion College and five of the Westerners are charter members. Of the four students selected to represent Marion College in the Who’s Who in American Colleges and Universities” for this year, the Westerners contributed three members. The officers for the current year were: president, Hiram Bridenstine; vice-president, Clinton Jones; secretary-treasurer, Naomi Harris; and faculty sponsor, Professor Parker.

The members come from all sections of the state to form one vital and important organization on the campus. The organization elected Dick Chambers, president and Evelyn Cosand, secretary-treasurer. Professor Taylor was chosen as club sponsor. From the time the club was first organized, the aim and objective has been to up¬ hold the standards of Marion College both spiritually and scholastically. Members of the Buckeye Club are active in all departments of the school: science, music and athletics. On January 20 the Buckeyes enjoyed a chili-con-carni supper” and a party at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Jones, nine miles south of Marion. The members went in a large trailer. Everyone enjoyed the friendly spirit of the Club on this occasion. In the future the Buckeye state promises to be a booster for Marion College by in¬ teresting yet many others from Ohio to come to our campus. ' Dixies”! How it thrills the southern lads and lassies. Just as the club members are loyal to the sunny South, they are also loyal to Marion College, her ideals and interests. This year the club received the shield for having the largest percentage increase of new students. Not only has Dixie added students to Marion College, but two members of the present faculty, Dr. Young and Professor Lawrence, have been given by the South. The Dixie Club was organized for two purposes: to promote the interests of Marion College south of the Mason-Dixon line, and to contribute the best service possible to the life of the College. The various activities of the school in which the club members have participated this year include: debate team, gospel team, W. Y. P. S., student publications, and athletics. One member was chosen for the Who’s Who in American Colleges and Universities.” Top Row—Rickman. Echols, Kiser, Mrs. Lawrence, Prof. Lawrence, Stafford.

DIXIE CLUB EASTERNERS ELUB The Easterners’ Club, which was organized last year, consists of students from those states east of Ohio and north of the Mason-Dixon Line. This year Marion College stu¬ dents from the East represent Pennsylvania, New York, and Massachusetts. Three mem¬ bers of the faculty, Dr. Barrett, Mrs. Goodwin, and Miss Lapham, have come from the East and are active members of this club. At the close of the first two weeks of this school year, Marion College had a sixty- seven percent increase of students from the East. The Easterners’ Club was surpassed by but one other club, and, if those students who enrolled during the second term are in¬ cluded, the Easterners’ Club has had a greater percentage increase over last year than any other club. Although this club is one of the smaller ones, much enthusiasm has been evidenced by the members, who have made worthwhile contributions toward the improvement of the campus as a token of their appreciation for Marion College.

The organization of girls in Teter Hall is known as the C.C.C.” or Council of Cheerful Comrades.” Led by the dean of women and their president, it is found that there is a better feeling of friendliness and cooperation through having such an organization. Each girl works for the good of the group. The girls’ desire is to live a life which is pleasing, unselfish, and full of devotion for others. They find it; they do their part to the best of their ability; they are useful and happy. The C.C.C. girls are capable sponsors of a number of the outstanding social activities each year. Among these are the Christmas and birthday dinners, and since this is leap year, they sponsored a Valentine leap year dinner which was enjoyed by all. Among the fifty-six girls in the dormitory there exists a spirit of comradeship which could not be equalled. Throughout the year loyalty, cooperation and Christian fellowship have characterized the members of the Council of Cheerful Comrades.” STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council is a comparatively young organization on the Marion College campus, being in its third year of operation. The Council is composed of the social deans, the class presidents and an elected representative from each class. Because of the importance of student government, the Student Council is being recognized as an increasingly valuable agent to promote student interest, to create better understanding between faculty and students, to unify student activity, and to act as a student legislative body. The Council seeks to crystallize student opinion into proper suggestions and petitions, which have been presented to the faculty with satisfactory results. During the year the Student Council has passed various regulations and has spon¬ sored worthwhile projects. One was a chapel program, entitled An Appreciation of Marion College,” for the purpose of arousing and maintaining proper ' ' school spirit.” Another was a steamer letter to Prof, and Mrs. Charles De Vol upon their departure for China, consisting of individual notes of greeting from the students. These and other projects of an all-school nature form the work of the Student Council. Knapp, Banker, Prof. Taylor, Rickman, Cosand. Goodman, Gregory, Hall, Smuck. Unphotojrraphed : Miss Spark.

IlVTEfl-S OCIET Y E □ U N EIL Two of the most important events of the year at Marion Col¬ lege are the Marionette Sales Contest in the Fall and the Inter- Society Contests in the Spring. The major portion of the work of the Inter-Society Council is to formulate the rules and sponsor these or any other activities between the two literary societies. The Council is composed of the presidents of the two literary societies by virtue of their office and two other members from each society. These two representatives from each society are elected for the entire year. The Amphictyon rep¬ resentatives were: presidents, Howard Noggle, Paul Walter, Neal Wright; elected mem¬ bers, Melba Peters and Roger Wood. Representing the Eureka Literary Club were their presidents: Sterrett Nash, Dixon Wood, W. D. Argo, and their elected members, Dick Chambers and Evelyn Cosand. The officers for this year were: Roger Wood, president; Melba Peters, secretary; faculty adviser, Professor Bowman.

CURRENT HISTORY CLUR The Current History Club is one of the most active societies on Marion College Campus. Programs were planned for each month of the year to be given as an evening of entertainment for the entire student body. Many outstanding programs have been given in the College Chapel. The club is active also in civic functions. Co¬ operating with local clubs has been a feature that introduces Marion College to outside activities and gives students the opportunity to meet the public in a way that life in the future will be presented to them. This year three members of the club discussed The Present United States’ Foreign Relations” and conducted an open forum on these topics. Through the efforts of the club the International Relations Conference was held on March 29, when many of the colleges and universities of Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, and Michigan, were represented by members of their respective History Clubs. Through this conference Marion College has again been able to present herself to other colleges as The school that puts first things first.” GIRLS HIKING CLUB As one of the most spirited organizations on Marion College campus, the Girls’ Hiking Club was organized in the fall of 192 8 for the purpose of promoting healthful outdoor exercise. There has been an increased enthusiasm in the club thi s year. Many early morning hikes have been taken which have enabled the girls to do more efficient work. The annual hiking club breakfast was held during the fall term. During the Friday night basketball games our candy salesmen, Maltha Moorman and Betty Moore, have been very successful. This work has also been carried on in the girls’ dormitory. The club has formulated a new constitution this school year. 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. Awards were given in the form of a chenille letter M” with one bar representing each year that the quota has been reached. The officers this year included Madelene Knotts as president, and Miss Lapham as faculty sponsor. Top Row—Cochran, K. Kelsven, Stair, Visser, Solomon, M.

ORCHESTRA AAR HAND The orchestra has presented three excellent chapel programs, one evening recital, and it plans to play for Commencement. The sentiment of everyone is that this year’s orchestra is the biggest and best.” The repertoire of this group is varied, including the lighter and heavier classical music, secular, and sacred numbers. It has made a real contribution to the cultural life of the school. We appreciate the capable direction of its leader, the splendid spirit of cooperation among the members of the group, and their willingness to serve the school. For the first time in Marion College history, a college band has been a part of the extra-curricular activities. The group was organized under the able direction of Sam Walter during the fall term and has continued throughout the year. The band includes sections of clarinets, saxophones, flute, trumpets, trombones, baritone, bass, and drums. The organization was fortunate in having as the trumpet soloist Bob Meredith who has won several state solo contests. During the winter term the band played for the inter-society basketball games, adding a festive touch to the occasions. A chapel program was also a part of the activity of the band.

IMMUNITY CHORUS Music is the highest of the fine arts and comes from the soul of man. It is the servant of everything good and is the connecting link between our inner and outer lives. Music does and must take a high place in the cultural life of any college. The chief purpose of the Marion College Community Chorus is to arouse and develop the aesthetic nature. Aestheticism cannot be taught; it must be absorbed by coming in contact with refined and cultured art. The singing of great oratorios and cantatas under the leadership of Professor Herman Baker has been a forceful influence in the development of that nature in the life of every indi- dividual who has participated in the activities of the chorus this year. During this school year the chorus sang George Frederick Handel’s Messiah” for the Christmas season, and a selected program for the Easter time. Soloists for the chorus this year were: Leola Ellis, Dorothy Wells, Sopranos; Naomi Harris, Lueila Martin, Altos; Tommy Russell, Sheldon Jackson, Tenors; Rendel Cosand, and Richard Chambers, Bass.

SCIENCE CLUB As can be seen by the growth in the Science department of this year, the Science Club has accomplished two of its objectives—to promote a better understanding of the practical side of science and to increase interest in the study of science, this interest being backed by a five thousand dollar museum including the addition this year of approximately one hundred specimens brought from Arizona and Southwest by Professor Parker, the faculty adviser of the club. Usually the club engages in several activities throughout the year including the in¬ viting of science clubs of high schools to lectures and displays given by the Science Club of Marion College and at the same time creating in the high school students an interest in Marion College. Professor Porter gave such a lecture at the beginning of the year before students from Swayzee High School. Then, too, several factories and manufacturing plants invite the Science Department to their shops, explaining how science is connected with the making of their products and the processes by which these products are made. Before the DeYols sailed for China, the Science Club presented a gift to Professor DeVol, the former faculty adviser. The club this year has been under the leadership of the following officers: Robert Sterling, president; Donald Boone, vice-president; and Esther Smithee, secretary-treasurer.

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION The carrying on of the business of such a large and widespread organization as the Alumni Association requires the existence of an Executive committee. We are featuring this committee in the 1940 Marionette because they have the responsibility and work of performing all duties of leadership of the large group between annual meetings of the association. During the past year your committee has directed the preparation and exe¬ cution of the annual banquet and meeting of the Association on June 3, 1939 and have promoted the appearance of Mildred Dilling, harpist, in Marion. At this concert it was necessary to close the doors of the auditorium fifteen minutes before starting time except to those holding tickets. A similar undertaking is being planned for this fall. An active alumni group is one of the great assets of a college. We are endeavoring to promote the interests of our Alma Mater through publicity, personal influence and general good will. Cheer!

Both the men and women attend classes re¬ gularly twice a week. At these times the classes engage in calisthenics in order to keep physically fit. There are exercises for those who de¬ sire them on rings, bars and ropes. Games are also played with Indian club as well as the regular indoor sports— basketball, volleyball, indoor baseball and ping-pong. When the weather is favorable the classes are held outdoors, and those who wish to may throw horseshoes, practice archery, shot putting or javelin throwing. Three hard clay tennis courts have been erect¬ ed east of the Gymnasium where the students often gather to play this game and where tournaments are also held. Ball games provide much enthusiasm with every¬ one trying to hit the ball over the fence into the tennis courts. In the Spring two track meets are held between the Amphictyon and Eureka Literary Societies, one for the men and the other for the women. As a final climax to the year’s physical education program, a team is selected to play against a soft ball squad from Marion High School. Marion College has always given a good account of itself in these games. GYM CLASSES SOFT BALL 1. Stan, the control pitcher for the Amphics and the Seniors, fans a player—one, two, three. 2. Dixon’s ready to slug a home run into left held. 3. Another Amphic ready while Burton, a Eurekan, calls for the ball. 4. Pettiford, Clark, Banker, Wood, Jones, Rickey, Wright and Anspaugh—Sopho¬ mores, Juniors, Seniors—Amphics and Eurekans—all enthusiastic ball players as they watch a hit over the fence. 5. At least Ruth Ellen can smile even though she does miss the ball. 6. Hiram and Rendel are enjoying the game but why do they stand so far from Chuck, Ina, Roma, and Maxine. 7. The Eurekans are in with Jones at bat. Clark, the Amphic catcher, is ready for anything—fast, slow, or curve. 8. Burton is pitching and Rickman is the umpire for the gym class. 9. A hard drive into right field—good for a double. Mike won’t get to catch that one. 10. Johnny’s all set to go—and they won’t steal second either.

They were all well played and full of excitement. Several Friday evenings, however, because of the extremely cold weather and the resulting diffi¬ culty in proper heating the gym, there were no girls’ games. In the inter-society games, the Amphic girls emerged victors over the Eurekans in two games. The first game was a tie, and the Amphics won the second 22-13. This year the Eurekans for the second consecutive year won the annual inter-society basketball tilt in two games. The class tournament was held on a Friday afternoon and evening near the close of the Winter term because of the many other activities which had crowded out basketball on several Friday nights. The sophomores were the winners after a very close game with the juniors. Marion College, Monday Afternoon. fear Folks: You will probably be surprised to get another letter from me so soon, but I am in one of those rare moods when I want to write. ave a lot of work I should be doing, but it can wait. It has waited a long time already, and a little while longer surely cannot hurt anything. A little while ago I got terribly sleepy so I slept here in the library about half an hour. I feel a lot better now. There have been a lot of activities around here late¬ ly for me to go to. Yo k w t at every year the girls in Teter Hall put on a Valentine dinner the evening of Valen¬ tine 1 s Day. Since this is leap year, they decided to have a leap year dinner. They all drew names for their fellows and then had to ask them for a date. There sure were some funny couples. There is a girl from Cleveland, Ohio, named Alice Hines. She is a tiny girl, the littlest in school,and she drew Burton Mick T s name. He is about six feet tall. They looked funny together. They tell me that Chuck Moore had a time trying to ask Ralph Gustin. He was about embarrassed to death. It must have been about the first date he ever had in his life. We all had a pretty good time. The program was entirely impromptu, and some of them did not have much to say when they were called on. I had a pretty nice girl for the evening, too bad she has a steady. The biggest objection we fellows had to the leap year idea was that we did not like to sit down when we did not know where the chair was. I would hate to be a girl and have a fellow seat me all the time at the table. The Amphics are having leap year party February 28. A. lot of girls have dates for it already who have never had dates before, I bet. The cutest red head asked me. I am worried about my girl though. She did not waste any time asking Harold Smuck. They better not have too good a time together that night. I tell you, this leap year business is not much fun after all. Oh, dear, I hate to think that it will soon be the end of the term, and as usual I have scads of outside reading to do and a couple of term papers. College wouldn’t be so bad if I did not have to study. Speaking of the end of the term reminds me that I will need some money soon to register with next term. And say, could you send me a dollar or two this week before Friday. I am practically broke, and I’ll have to have some to take my girl to Roane’s. Thanks, Dad. I can’t think of much more to write about now. This is already about the longest letter I have written in a long time. It is time to go to class now anyway. Is ever, Your son. 1. Genie is getting to be a big girl. She won’t be able to stand under Tommy’s arm many more years. 2. Class picnic day in the Fall. A group of sophomore and senior girls are watching their heroes play ball. 3. Out on the benches on the campus—a group of town students—It is too warm to study. 4. Smithee, generally speaking and often addressed as Esther. For more information about her, ask Ray. 5. Millie and W. D., two southerners who are good friends and used to be better. 6. What’s this? Could it be a group of freshmen? It must be; no one else could look like that except the freshies on Freshman Day. 7. Teter Hall, better known as the girls’ dormitory, but it also seems to be the place where the fellows hang out. Maybe it is because they study in the library so much. 8. The most beloved of all Marion College faculty, John D. Williams, our treasurer, whose sacrificial service to the school is deeply appreciated by all. 9. Don’t tell me it’s more freshies! They’re awfully thick around here. It’s about time they were put in their place. 10. Mary and Leola. They look somewhat alike and are often together, except when Leola is with someone else. What’s the matter with the fish pond, Marie? Or are you trying to drink from the fountain? Another glimpse of the class picnics. Noni is get¬ ting ready for a sack race. We wonder how she came out. Believe it or not, the right honorable and exceed¬ ingly addicted to the use of words of immense length, Albert Chapman lends his gentle assist¬ ance to Maxine Cashell as she tries to cross the creek at the freshman-junior picnic. George and Margaret, the inseparable. Usually seen talking in the hall. Gaye, who is just that. No, there was no circus and no animals escaped! It is just Goofy Beals and Dick Chambers. ' Look out, Fonty. You are getting framed. We know your ears aren’t that big. Two Bankers and a Laws; quite a combination. Doc. Young on his knees! We wonder if he got what he was pleading for. Sam and Earl, the inseparable. We won’t tell, Art. Our Who’s Who’s. A good looking bunch aren’t they? ' Note: They do not always look like this. 11 . 12 . 14. 15. 16 . 17. 18. 19. 20 . 21 . 22 . 1. Dignified seniors the second week of school. Usually the seniors take a sneak. This year they only took a trip as they now call it. We wonder why. 2. The day of the senior trip we were amazed to see two imitation Tommys walking around the campus. Aren’t those pillows a little uncomfortable, fellows? 3. Dixon without Noni, unbelievable! 4. The Gospel Team Quartet, the Preacher’s Quartet, or what name have you for them? A fine group of fellows who love to sing. 5. Seven—no, eight M. C. girls with their pretty smiles. 6. Southerners, Southerners, and more Southerners. 1. It looks as if the people in the library are really studying for a change. 2. Three little fishies in an itty-bitty pond. Quite a rendezvous on a beautiful moon¬ light spring evening. 3. Professor and Mrs. DeVol, Margaret, Esther, and their dolls, all at the railroad sta¬ tion ready to leave us for China. 4. The Eurekans want all the new students to know about their club, so they hang their sign between two trees. 5. Not to be outdone in the least, the Amphics raise their flag on to the flagpole on top of the Ad building. 6. Eddie and Fonty. ’Nuff said. 7. Looks like the college choir. What are they doing with their robes on outdoors. Maybe they were having their picture taken. 8. General office. Luella Martin hard at work. 9. Cenie, a good librarian, so some of us think. She’s been here two years and still has a lot of her southern accent. 10. Another librarian, this time a simple freshman from Ohio, Ruth Ellen Henry. Three pretty little misses dressed in white, and they are not nurses either. Helen, Pauline, and Deloras. 11 . 1. Waiting at the railorad sta¬ tion for the 11:29 train which took the Do Vols on the first lap of their journey to China. Classes were dis¬ missed, and the whole school turned out to bid them fare¬ well. 2. Another forenoon when some people did not have to go to class. The Marionette Staff is taking pictures, and here the Eurekans are con¬ gregating, because they are next on the list. 3. Another snap of one of the imitation Tommys who were parading the campus the day of the senior sneak. 4. Evelyn and Ruth Anna did not want to have the sun shining in their eyes, and look what kind of a picture they got! 5. Heave ho. Chubby, make a ringer this time. Another class picnic shot. 6. Max and Ray, two XYZ, PWA, or is it NYA boys going to work in the gym. 7. G. K. seems to be having a hard time throwing Mary into the creek at the Fresh¬ man-Junior picnic. Maybe she is too much for him to handle. 8. Prof. Baker is getting a pic¬ ture of Home life in the parlor of Teter Hall” for his choir programs. Girls of the College Choir are the subjects. That isn’t the way the life in the parlor always is—before meal time, for instances. 9. The three quartets on the field last summer—the Var¬ sity, the Gospel Messengers, and the Heralds. Behind them are their (faithful?) cars.
