BUT MARION COLLEGE, WHILE CONTRIBUTING TO THE WAGING OF WAR, IS BUSY BUILDING FOR PEACE. NO OTHER WORDS FIT OUR PATTERN OF LIFE AT MARION AS DO THOSE OF PURD E.

MARIONETTE Three w Administration Building JHE Administration building contains most of the classrooms and labora¬ tories as well as the main offices of the college. The College Chapel is located on the second floor. Teter Hall REPRESENTING twenty states and sheltering 115 of M. C.’s feminine students, Teter Hall, with its two floors of dormitory facilities plus numerous auxiliary rooms including the library, Journal and Marionette offices, practice rooms, dean’s office, class rooms and dining hall, although lacking the historic background of Congress Hall, is still the home for most of M. C.’s feminine students. i Left: Administration Building Right: Teter Hall Congress Hall POSSESSING a history which dates back to the Civil War, Congress Hall is now the home of the single men of M. C. She has served men faith¬ fully for several decades and is the seat of many mulling memories for some of the notables of our country. Six WHO SERVE |N the columns which follow under these lines of introduction are listed the names of the men who at sometime prior to their enlistment or induction into the armed forces, were in attend¬ ance at Marion College. More than one hundred eighty-three alumni and students have answered the call of their country to protect the liberty we so highly prize. The representa¬ tives of Marion College in the Armed Forces have given and are giving today everything that life holds dear for them, that Christian institutions as Marion College might live in the world. We pay tribute to the six men listed today as “missing in action” or else reported killed: Charles Maggart, Ray Norman, Jr., Robert Shaw, Raymond Hughes, Edwin Ramsburg, and George Allred. We shall cherish their memory and dedicate ourselves to the task of maintaining Marion College as a Christian institution for which men might consider it worthwhile to die if such necessity faced them.

Even so, in life we need wholesome train¬ ing to build life’s structure beautiful and eternal. One of the rare privileges of each M. C. student is the opportunity of building under the influence and discipline of those who have properly weighed eternal values and have learned through experience to dis¬ tinguish between worthwhile and treacherous ma¬ terials. Invaluable lessons are being learned and woven into the character of each student as they pass through their college.days with the supplication “Teach us to build” upon their lips. Eight MAN of foresight, sound judgment and prayer, Dr. Wm. F. McConn has successfully guided the growing interests of Marion College for a period of thirteen years. He has unsparingly contributed to the life of the student body and school. He has wisely advised us in our efforts to build into our characters the principles of the noble progressive Christian.

In bi-weekly meetings, the council entertains various suggestions offered by members of the student body, aids in governing student life and annually presents a school project which is sponsored by the members of the student body. The project undertaken this year was the purchasing of equipment for the general office which included two typist’s tables, three typist’s chairs, two fluorescent lamps, one typist’s liner and one small dictionary. The council is composed of the presidents of the classes, one additional representative from each class, the social deans and a president elected by the student body of the preceding year. The president of this year’s Student Council was Marjorie Elder. Fourteen «|7XPERIENCED”, “distinguished”, “sagacious sages” or whatever you may choose to call them, the Senior class occupies the position most coveted (whether they admit it or not) by all of the other classes. Taking their dose as Freshmen they endeavored the following year to orient as much as possible the new class which filled the rear seats of the chapel. As Juniors they caught the Seniors and finally as Seniors they successfully “snuck” the Senior sneak. Due to the war the class this year is again purchasing class pins instead of the Senior jackets of other years, and in addition has curtailed all plans of trips and socials. Electing Paul Shugart as president, the class has sought to hold high the standards of the school by putting “First Things First.” Fifteen NEVA BERRY B. S. in Eduation A.

Nineteen JUNIOR I § F LWAYS foremost among the many thoughts of an active Junior class is “to catch the Seniors in their sneak.” Failing to halt the initial get¬ away (which occurred following a Friday morning chapel period when all classes were “supposed” to be electing officers) the Juniors quickly chose their class officers with Bob Kenworthy as president, following which five rather audacious youths met the Seniors “six” miles beyond the “five” mile limit. Typical Freshmen, persistent Sophomores, these efficient Juniors have been active in numerous of the campus functional organizations and have made their contribution to the life of the school. Despite their initial setback, the Juniors were capable hosts to the Seniors at the annual banquet held in honor of the “learned and leaving.” First Row: H. Johnson, J. W. Kiser, M. Burns.

HAT a transformation has taken place since last year in a certain college class who this year claims the title of Sophomore which, as you know, comes from a Greek word meaning “wisdom learned.” Traditionally a “get even” class, the class of ’47 initiated the class of ’48 by inviting them to wear somewhat conspicuous garbs made of large dry cleaning sacks, much to the discomfiture of a few. As Sophomores they too remember when as Freshmen they tried to enjoy the various inflections imposed by their superiors. With Luke Turnbough as president, the class has made notable progress and with anticipation entertains the thought of nex t year becoming upperclassmen.

JT HAS been said “a Freshman is as a Freshman does,” and undoubtedly there is a great deal of truth in this statement, as most Freshmen will probably admit that they felt a bit “conspicuous” in the attire prescribed by their immediate superiors on “Freshman Day.” Quickly orienting them¬ selves into M. C.’s campus life, as all Freshman classes have and always shall, this year’s group elected Lester Wilcox as their president, and entered into the business of getting an education and enjoying life at the same time. In the last term they entertained the Sophomores with the usual “return party.” Twenty-six 1st Row: PAULINE ANDERSON JERRY ASPLIN MILDRED BAKER ZYLPHA BALDWIN MARTHA BALLINGE R HAROLD BOYCE 2nd Row: EUGENE CARR BERTHA CHAMBERS MILDRED JEAN COOLEY CAROL COPLEY HAZEL CRAKER VIVIAN CRAKER Jrd Row: MRS.

Cox Thirty “When to Our Ears There Come Divine Commands” gUILDING a life is the greatest and most challenging responsibility placed upon human beings. In His great love God created man in His own image and be¬ stowed upon us the power to choose the carpenter who would provide the blueprint for our lives and aid us in building. Thus as we travel the highway of life it is of su¬ preme importance that we engage the Master Carpen¬ ter, and explicitly follow His commands that our struc¬ ture might be enthralled with the beauty and glory of His presence. “But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” Thirty-one Church and Pastor Rev. and Mrs. Freeborn OMEONE has said “If you face life as you ought to face it you will find it a tre¬ mendous and glorious challenge.” Young people at M. C. are realizing the truth of this statement and as they face the chal¬ lenge of life they have found the College Church with our faithful pastor, Rev. W. S. Freeborn and his wife, to be worthy spiritual guides. The sacred atmosphere, the uplifting and inspirational messages, the hymns of praise and the hand of Christian fellowship of the church have been the stimulus which has caused many a student to rise from spiritual defeat to glorious victory. We would give praise to our Heavenly Father for as the Psalmist has said, “The Lord has been mindful of us.” Thirty-two E R E N ■ First How: G. Epler, Sime.

Day. us put ‘first things first’ and come to the student conference service this evening at 6:30” resounds Loring Peter¬ son’s bass voice, penetrating the silence of the chapel, as he makes his usual Tuesday morning announcement. Every week the Student Conference, an organization at the head of the religious activities of our school, sponsors a gospel service of song, testimony, prayer and a helpful message. This has become a vital part of the religious life of our students for it affords opportunity for spiritual growth and development of talents. Because of the need of prayer, a Student Conference Prayer Service is held on Monday and Friday noons, and a period of devotion is observed after supper each Thursday evening. The students of Marion College not only feel the need of cultivating their own souls but they have caught the vision of the great harvest fields. Consecrated students have given of their time and strength to carry the gospel to the Children’s Home, the jail, and the infirmary. A standing gospel team which was the bearer of glad tidings to nearby churches was organized. Not only has this organization contacted and blessed many hearts but through their labors their own souls have been enriched.

The college W. Y. P. S. provides a means of expres¬ sion for the spiritual life that exists with¬ in the bosom of the young people at M. C. Three Sunday evenings in each month a profitable worship service has been pre¬ sented by this organization. It has been a means of developing talent and prepar¬ ing each one for a life of service for Christ. Many times God has been preciously near and caused us to rejoice as we mingled in Christian fellowship. But to be balanced in our spiritual life we must be serving as well as worshipping. The W. Y. P. S. had this vision and chose as their project the purchasing of fifty hymn books for the new work at Mon- ticello, Indiana. Five young people represented our so¬ ciety in a Bible contest sponsored by the Marion Christian Youth Council and came back with the record of having won every division of the contest. In the rush of school life this society has been a means of encouraging and establishing the young people of Marion College.

They endeavor to in¬ crease the vision of our missionary cause, promote Wesleyan missions throughout the world, and encourage those who have a call to special missionary wo rk. Charles Day was president. The annual missionary convention in the spring climaxed the year’s work of the S. M. W. B. Over a thousand dollars was raised and directed into missionary chan¬ nels. «JJNTO the uttermost,” the motto of the Foreign Missionary Fellowship organ¬ ization, reveals their purpose of presenting the need of a lost world in such a vivid manner that young people will be inspired to accept the call or feel the urge of giving and praying. A Wednesday noon prayer service, dis¬ tribution of tracts, gospel team work, chil¬ dren’s meetings, chapel programs and pub¬ lic services give us a glimpse of their ac¬ tivity and spirit.

Their ministry of song, testimony and preaching has been given in several de¬ nominations other than Wesleyan Meth¬ odist, including the Friends, Mennonite Brethren in Christ, Methodist and Chris¬ tian Churches. Although traveling has been more difficult this year the quartet has visited many churches in Ohio, Mich¬ igan and Indiana. One of the special features of the quar¬ tet has been a trombone and trumpet duet played by Cunningham and Klatt. God has especially blessed them and several souls have knelt at an altar of prayer in their services exchanging their burden of sin for a song of praise.

THE twenty-four students in the A Cappella Choir blend their voices in one great anthem of praise to the Christ, many a heart has been encouraged and many a burden has become lighter. Oft times a song has penetrated the darkness of a soul when all else has failed. Thus the members of the choir have gladly given hours of practice and performance in order that they might be a blessing to humanity. War conditions have made transporta¬ tion more difficult but God has wonder¬ fully provided their needs. A large num¬ ber of churches in and near Marion, Wes¬ leyan and other denominations, have been blessed by their program of testimony in word and song. yHE Marion College Chorus has afforded opportunities for fellowship, the culti¬ vation of talent, the pleasure of mingling our voices in praise to our Saviour and the thrill of giving a message to an ex¬ pectant audience. Under the direction of Prof. Herman Baker, the chorus, composed of over one hundred men and women presented part of Handel’s great oratorio, The Messiah, at Christmas and Olivet to Calvary by Maunder at Easter. The chorus is one of the outstanding organizations of the school because any¬ one who desires may participate in it and it provides pleasure as well as profitable training for each member. Thirty-seven Dr. Roy S. Nicholson V. Roy S. Nicholson of Syracuse, New York was our evangelist for the fall revival held October 22 through Novem¬ ber 5. He is the Connectional Editor of the Wesleyan Methodist Connection and has long been a leader in our church. Deep spirituality, a heart of love and dynamic speaking ability helped him to win his way into the hearts of the students. “God worked through him to the salvation and sanctification of many.” S2SB jaafume Rev. H. K. Sheets (JHOWERS of blessing fell on Marion Col¬ lege during the spring revival, January 28 through February 11, with Rev. H. K. Sheets of Enid, Oklahoma as the evangel¬ ist. Rev. Sheets is the General Superintend¬ ent of the W. Y. P. S. of the Wesleyan Methodist Church. His und erstanding of youth problems made his messages especially helpful to each student. He challenged us to grasp the opportunities which are now before us that the church of tomorrow may be benefitted by our lives. Thirty-eight ' J ' HERE is a familiar chorus, “If we all pull together how happy we’ll be.” Personalities differ, opinions and ideas vary but the consideration of others, coopera¬ tion and “pulling together” build for strength. In our many club organizations we learn valuable lessons from those with whom we mingle and experi¬ ence the joy of working together. Congeniality, un- selfisncss, and thoughtfulness of others are woven into our character and prepare us to cope with the difficul¬ ties we may face as we continue to build.

It purposes to bring more unity between the language departments and gives the mem¬ bers an understanding of each language. Led by their capable president, Madalyn Johnson, they sponsored a chapel program, an open program and a party. Forty First Row: Peterson, Simpson, Wood, Wright, Butch¬ er, Emerson.

It has been organized to promote interest and efficiency in the art of public speaking. They have a quota¬ tion from Shakespeare for their motto “Mend your speech a little lest you mar your fortune.” Membership is placed on a competitive basis with opportunities in three fields. Those who are interested and show special ability in speaking are asked to join. This year six new members were accept¬ ed at a closed program after competitive try-outs. The annual banquet was one of their outstanding events of the year. A clever theme and interesting program made it a success. An open program presented by them in the chapel provided wholesome enter¬ tainment for many and revealed the con¬ tribution of this club to college life. Forty-one I N T E crisis of the present age has caused everyone to have a keen interest in in¬ ternational affairs. In order that the stu¬ dents at Marion may keep abreast of the times we have the International Relations Club, which is a chapter of the national organization. It is made up primarily of those with a major in history or social studies but others interested in current events are invited to join. An interesting feature of their activities this year was a questionnaire presented in chapel on which Warren Freeborn re¬ ceived the highest score. Closed meetings where book reviews were given or interesting discussions pre¬ sented were profitable to the group. The climax of the year’s activities was the annual banquet, Ouida Stephens presiding. YOUTH’S TEMPERANCE COUNCIL r | ' EMPERANCE is one of the crying needs of the present age. In order that we contribute our part in building a morally clean world we have the college Y. T. C. organization. They stand for total absti¬ nence, purity and law observance and are endeavoring to make a healthy body, a keen mind and high ideals the most pop¬ ular thing in the community. Led by their efficient president, Walter Simpson, they have presented the needs of the temperance cause in chapel pro¬ grams, local meetings and representation in county rallies.

JANUARY 17, 1945, the first in a series of Science Club programs was sponsor¬ ed by the Biological Science Department. Fields represented by lectures and demon¬ strations were Botany, Comp. Anatomy, Zoology, Bacteriology, and Biology. Ex¬ periments conducted by the members of the department illustrated the intriguing aspects in the field of Biological Science. The Chemistry Dept, of M. C. presented the second in the series April 6, 1945. Dis¬ plays of plastics, compounds prepared in the organic lab., division lecture—demon¬ strations on the uses of sulfa drugs and also individual experiments conducted by members of the classes in Chemistry high¬ lighted the occasion. Four fields repre¬ sented included Qualitative analysis, Quan¬ titative analysis, Inorganic and Organic Chemistry. The concluding number of the series was under the direction of the Physics depart¬ ment. Demonstrations involving the Tesla Coil, the eruption of a geyser, and the uses and advantages of jet propulsion as well as an explanation dealing with the resonance of a sound wave in an air col¬ umn. Well attended, these programs spon¬ sored by the Science Club, provided an opportunity for college students to broad¬ en their education in the field of Science.

In order that the activities of the two literary societies may contribute to¬ ward the building of worthwhile lives for their members, we have the Inter-Society Council. This society is composed of the presi¬ dents and a representative from each so¬ ciety and Dr. Bowman, faculty advisor. Their duties consisted of formulating the rules for the Marionette Sales Con¬ test and the Inter-Society Literary Con¬ test, and presenting a joint program. Their wisdom and discretion in handling inter¬ society activities has caused friendliness and good will to dominate in the hearts of the members of each society. Forty-five First Row: E.

JF YOU are looking for a friendly group and a year of joys and beneficial ac¬ tivities, board the good ship Amphic and sail through a happy school year at M. C. Fmthusiasm, school spirits, and talent—yes, that’s the Amphics. The purpose for which the societies were founded was pr imarily one of developing literary interests on a competitive basis. The Amphics have endeavored to fulfill this purpose in their programs, the second presenting a resume of Washington’s early life. Again, the Amphics proved their su¬ perior basketball ability by winning the inter-society basketball tourney in an over¬ time game. Good sportsmanship was dis¬ played not only by the team but by all Amphics present. Amphics are also interested in music, especially good singing in chapel. Bear¬ ing in mind the psychology that the con¬ dition of the song book may affect the singer, they purchased new hymn books for the chapel. Above all, the Amphics have endeavor¬ ed to uphold the school motto, “First things first,” in all their activities. Forty-six First Row: L. Poe, M. Poe, D. Cline, White, Bullock, McAdams, W.

Q NE hundred and thirty-two enthusiastic students readily agree that their so¬ ciety was correctly named, for Eureka is a Greek word meaning “I have found it.” They have found not a spiritless organiza¬ tion but one that has contributed to their cultural, recreational, and social life. The outstanding triumph of the year for the Eurekans was the winning of the Marionette Sales Contest, entitling them to be first possessors of the new silver loving cup. Alert to the need of some new furniture for the parlor at Teter Hall they purchased and presented some chairs. The Eurekans not only have a gift of salesmanship but many of them are good athletes. In the exciting softball game on Harvest Day they were victorious over their friendly competitors, the Amphics. The Eurekan girls were again champions in the inter-society girls basketball games. Programs and parties added life and spirit to the events of the year. “The Eurekan Hour of Charm” and “The March of Crime” presented in the chapel were entertaining and a means of developing talent. Cooperation, friendly competition and a Christian spirit—they are the characteris¬ tics of the Eurekans. Forty-seven X7ITH three outstanding senior girls Ouida Stephens, Marie Evatt and Erma Steinacker as presidents respectively, the Council of Cheerful Comrades have had a jolly time together this year. They have endeavored to inspire high ideals and cultivate deep spirituality, co¬ operation, and unselfishness among the girls of the school. Highlights of the year were the Christmas and birthday dinners. M 0ST colleges do not have the privilege of having a fine group of Senators and Repre¬ sentatives living in Congress Hall on their campus. We feel that among them we have boys of talent and spirituality. The principal activity of this organization was planning, preparing and serving of the Easter breakfast which was enjoyed by all who attended. HIKING CLUB yjHAT is more beneficial than a brisk walk in the early morning air as the sun is just beginning to peep over the eastern horizon and all earth is awakening from her slum¬ ber? It brings color in your cheeks, a spring in your step and clears the mind, enabling one to face the joys and sorrows of the day with chin up and an attitude of triumph. Many a morning throughout the year quiet footsteps of those who had arisen early to hike down the road four or five miles could be heard on the stairs of Teter Hall. Or at dinner we would hear Betty Cox, hiking club president, make the familiar an¬ nouncement, “All girls wishing to go on a five mile hike, meet in front of the dormi¬ tory at one o’clock.” Interest has been high in the hiking club this year. Several will be eligible for an award having hiked their quota which is 100 miles for the first year, 125 miles for the second year, 135 miles for third year and 150 miles for the fourth year.

Forty-nine r 1 i -r « tw � v M EN and women of talent, spirituality and industry, Hoosiers by name, have gathered at M. C. from the various parts of Indiana to make a more thorough prep¬ aration for life and to be a blessing to the other students. A most unusual gift was purchased by the club for the school. In the present age films are being made of ancient books and manuscripts. The Hoosiers obtained a microfilm reader and some film which will be exceedingly valuable to theological students. The films which they purchased were the vocabulary of the New Testa¬ ment as illustrated from papyri and other non-literary sources, Old Testament syn¬ onyms, Codex Siniaticus and Codex Vat- icanus. pROM the rolling plains of the great middle west and from the Pacific coast come approximately one-third of the stu¬ dent body of Marion College. They are a jolly, energetic group marked by friendli¬ ness and enthusiasm. Through the activity of the old mem¬ bers, the enrollment of the westerner’s club was increased fifty percent this year. This entitled them to the honor of retain¬ ing the state club plaque. A very worthy project was presented to the school by these active students. Six¬ ty-eight books on holiness which will soon be going out of print were purchased and placed in the library. First Row: M. E. Walker.

Fifty GROUP of students from the metrop¬ olis area, north of the Mason-Dixon line and east of Ohio form the well-known Easterner’s Club. Although small in num¬ ber they have been a great asset to the school. Seeing the need of a pulpit light in chapel they purchased one and presented it to the college. In order that they might develop socially as well as intellectually and spiritually they had a party at the home of Mrs. Goodwin. They have shown their interest in every part of school life and helped to make this year more enjoyable. QUAINT in their dialect and customs to those of other sections of the states but known for their southern hospitality are the members of the Dixie club. In thinking of something useful that they might present to the school they de¬ cided to build a bicycle stand and place it in front of the administration building. The girls of the club have shown their good sportsmanship and athletic ability by winning the girls state club basketball championship. Not only in athletics but in each activity of the school we see them busy, carrying their share of the load and inspiring others to build noble Christian character.

They come from the scenic state of Michigan, a land of beautiful lakes and pine trees. Anxious that they as a whole might leave some contribution to the school they decided that the reconstruction of the flag pole in front of the gym should be their project for the year. Their enthusiastic interest in a Christian education is shown by the fact that they increased their membership about nineteen per cent over last year’s. “gEAUTIFUL OHIO” is more than a theme song to the Buckeyes. It stands for home, the most beautiful spot in the world. Nevertheless, each year many of them leave their native land to join the jolly group of students at M. C. This year their membership increased about eleven per cent over last year’s. Being outstanding in athletics the Buck¬ eyes again claimed the men’s state club basketball championship. Charles Fisher and Charles Day were chosen on the all- star Eurekan-Amphic basketball team. To beautify the parlor of Teter Hall and aid in the lighting, the Buckeyes purchas¬ ed a floor lamp and a table lamp as their 1944-45 project.

JHIS was an outstanding year for the Marion College Journal for it marked the celebration of its twenty-fifth year of publication. On October 5, 1920, a group of students met and formed the Press club which elected the first staff for the Journal and aided in its publication. At first the Journal was a monthly pub¬ lication, later changing to a weekly and then in 1928 was organized as a semi¬ monthly paper as it is today. It has been improved down through the years but it has always maintained its purpose of pre¬ serving the history and happenings of Marion College. In celebration of this anniversary an in¬ teresting chapel program was presented and articles from old Journals have been published. High quality workmanship has been ex¬ hibited in each issue this year. One of the big successes was the Who’s Who scoop. It has taken hours of scheming, days and nights of labor and alertness to sur¬ roundings but through the efforts of each staff member the Journal has been one of the most popular assets to the school.

Let me give you a glimpse of the hard¬ ships they faced patiently to make this copy accessible to you. Pictures were scheduled to be taken but no photographer arrives. You are standing in line waiting and asking, “Where is the photographer? Why doesn’t he come?” The editor stands speechless. Or maybe the pictures were taken but when the prints arrived they were blurred or too dark or too light. The pictures must be taken over. Perhaps a few days later the editor re¬ ceives a letter, “We are very sorry, but due to war conditions we can not supply you with covers for your annual.” The first, one may not be so discouraging but after you have received four or five of them, what then? But we would not lead you to believe that the job of putting out a yearbook is all drudgery and hardship. There comes a thrill and joy as each picture fits into its corner, each article takes its place on the page, thus binding together a resume of school life at M. C. in 1944-45. And then when we have the privilege of handing you the finished copy and see the smile on your face and the sparkle in your eye we feel we have been rewarded.

JHE Marion College Alumni often work¬ ing rather quietly behind the scenes have now been called upon to provide a substantial sum toward the construction of a new building on the campus. The plans for raising this sum together with all other activities of the Alumni Association have been approved by the Executive Commit¬ tee of the association pictured above. Professor Charles W. Taylor of the Marion College Faculty is president of the Alumni Association for 1944-45. Under his direction the activities of the associa¬ tion have been promoted, including the annual homecoming and banquet in June. Professor Donald H. Porter of the Marion College Faculty is Alumni Member of the Building Committee and is in charge of alumni solicitation for contributions to the building project and Alumni Editor. It is planned to publish an alumni bulletin in January, March, May and October of each year. This is our 25th anniversary year as an institution known as Marion College. Pre¬ vious to 1920, institutions known as the Marion Normal College and the Marion Normal Institute occupied the campus. Alumni of these institutions as well as the Fairmount Bible School are included in the Alumni Association. Marion College has never received a large gift as have many institutions, but rather is the recipient of many small gifts from a large number of friends and alumni. Prof. Charles W. Taylor Prof. Donald H. Porter Fifty-five Marjorie Elder, Melvin Gentry, Paul Shugart, Erma Steinacker, Mary Ellen Walker. Fifty-six NOBLE Christian character, a keen sense of humor and an earnest desire for knowl¬ edge combined into one personality give us Marjorie Elder. As president of the stu¬ dent council, president of the Forensic Club, a member of the Journal staff and of the inter-society council she has proven herself worthy of places of leadership. This hearty westerner and member of the Amphictyon Literary Society has been a definite asset to Marion College. CMALL in stature but energetic, good-natured and capable of doing great things would characterize Melvin Gentry. His all around interest in school activities and his friend¬ ly acts have won him many friends. He has been president of the Eurekan Literary Club, member of the a capella choir, evangelist in the student conference and a member of the king’s quartet. His devotion to the work of the Lord and efficiency in Christian service would point to a successful future for him. DEPENDABILITY, scholarship, and spirituality characterize one of the outstanding senior boys, Paul Shugart. His first year of college was spent at Asbury but the past three years he has been one of the leaders on the M. C. campus. He was the senior class president and has been president of the Amphictyon Literary Society, the student con¬ ference, business manager of the Journal and has taken part in other club organizations. Besides his school work and activities he has a student pastorate in the Friend’s denomina¬ tion. His consistent Christian living has added much to the life and spirit of M. C. £RMA STEINACKER, school registrar, is an all around student, consistent in Christian living, high in scholarship and friendly to all. She is a Wolverine and a Eurekan. The a capella choir, student council, intersociety council and Journal staff of which she was a member have all benefitted by her timely suggestions and ability. She is look¬ ing forward to a life of service to her Master on the mission field of South America. YOUNG lady of many talents and a winning personality is Mary Ellen Walker, editor of this 1944-45 Marionette. Y. T. C. work is one of her main fields of labor, being president of the state organization and active in organizing local temperance groups. She is making a great contribution to her city as president of the Marion Youth Council. At M. C. she served on both the Marionette and Journal staffs and has been active in the Forensic Club and other student organizations. Fifty-seven A N interesting extra-curricular feature of Marion Col¬ lege is the series of programs known as the Music- Lecture programs. They are planned and promoted by a faculty committee for the purpose of cultural de¬ velopment among the students. Dr. Howard Higgins, Dean of Emerson College in Boston, presented a lecture “Among the Spirits” on the first program of the year. Through demonstration he thoroughly exposed the fraud and fake of modern spiritism and fortune telling. The second program brought to us the well-known Homer Rodeheaver and his sister, Mrs. Ruth Rode- heaver Thomas. Classical, patriotic and religious selec¬ tions were presented in vocal solos, an instrumental solo and duets. An audience of approximately 400 people was thrilled throughout the concert. Barton Rees Pogue, poet, appeared for the final program in the Music Lecture Series. Fifty-eight M AN is so constituted that his body demands recrea¬ tion to build a strong physique. Basketball, ten¬ nis, volley ball, hikes and other forms of exercise are invaluable to him. Marion College provides these that students here may develop every phase of their life. But did you ever think that faltering hands of one member of a basket ball team may cost them the game? Faltering hands of a carpenter may cost him his life. ‘‘May our hands ne’er falter” to grasp the opportunities before us to become physically strong as well as men¬ tally and spiritually alert that we may be able to live a life of service to others. Fifty-nine IMPORTS play an important part in the activities of Marion College. The College Gym¬ nasium is the scene of considerable friendly competition, particularly in the games of basketball and volley ball. Basketball is also played as well as tennis on the athletic courts. In addition there are facilities for tumbling activities and ping pong. The building is so constructed that it was formerly used for the conducting of commencement services. Much happiness is found in this building, both during regular physical education classes and the leisure hours friends spend here in relaxation. Sixty Hold that pose. For thrills— Try this.

More than 150 of her sons and daughters are in the service. Included in the group are eleven chaplains and there are more with applications pending. These heroic souls have served in Africa, Sicily, Italy, England, France, Belgium, Luxemburg, Germany, Holland, New Guinea, Australia, Hawaii, India, China, the Philippines, Alaska, Panama, the Pacific, the Southwest Pacific, the Atlantic, the Mediterranean, and their sphere of service is constantly widening. One is a Japanese prisoner of war, and six have paid the supreme sacrifice. Marion College begins her second quarter-century of service by dedicat¬ ing herself to the task of carrying the banner of Christian education through the war period, be it long or short. Today, we are overcrowded in both classrooms and dormitories. An increase in student body is forcing us to lay plans for a new building. The board has approved a campaign for a new Administration-Library building to be erected as a post-war project. Twenty-five per cent of its cost is already in the treasury. Will you help Marion College meet this need? Christian Education must carry on. Send contributions to J. D. Williams, treasurer. For information write: Wm. F.

It is the home of mv soul, the altar of my devotions, the hearth of my faith, the center of my affections and the foretaste of heaven. I have united with it in solemn covenant, pledging myself to attend its services, to pray for its members, to give to its support, and to obey its laws. It claims the first place in my heart, the highest place in my mind, the principal place in my activities, and its unity, peace and progress con¬ cern my life in this world and in that which is to come. I owe it my zeal, my benevolence and my prayers. When I neglect its services, I injure its good name, I lessen its power, I discourage its members, and I chill my own soul. I have solemnly promised in the sight of God and men to advance its interests by faithful attendance, by reading the Holy Bible, by never neglecting its ordinances, by contributing to its support, by meeting with my fellow members, by watching over their welfare, and by joining with them in prayer, praise and service, and that promise I this day renew, before God my Father, Christ my Redeemer, and the Holy Ghost my Sanctifier.—John Bunyan Smith.
