As an expression of our appreciation for an institution whose purpose is to build character as well as to develop intellectual capacities, we dedicate this volume of the Marionette to Mr. John D. Williams, who has contributed greatly to the progress of Marion College by his unstinted giving of finance, labor, and prayers. Qsjdiccddon Three . .

High tribute is paid to those who HAVE GIVEN UNSELFISHLY OF THEIR SERVICES AND EVEN THEIR LIVES AS MEMBERS OF THE ARMED FORCES THAT OTHERS MAY HAVE PEACE AND LIVE WITH A WORLD AT PEACE. Ten J ' Oh divrwh “That these honored dead might not have died in vain.” We pause to honor those who gave their lives while in the service of their country. Our minds, hearts, and ambitions are turned toward peace—they gave their “last full measure of devotion” for that word and we dedicate our lives to the preservation of it. Marion College displays the gold star for the following men: George Allred Raymond Hughes Gordon Kindschi Ray Norman Edwin Ramsburg Robert Shaw We are proud of the two hundred men and women who at one time attended M. C. and served in the armed forces of their country in this war. At this time nearly forty-two have returned to the “Old Triangle.” We welcome them back and dedicate ourselves to the task of maintaining the high standards of the school that puts “first things first.” Eleven ig|I7 wmmimt of lKeilsSmfaf • g y, i I JESSfe f f -y. jbjnftXrXffyjr ■fix SKk3Wp|ffi ’ ■nrinl ' lPwrMUlVu ' v L.- H ■ ' i -W ' -• J ' «ll • -v - • - l y . . v • • MKW w ■ : ' Xi 3 ■ ' ftfup ' ptjCT 3tp i reisH p Ho L ♦!

They were welcomed by the Sophomores who gave them green caps and other duties to perform for a week. When they assumed the coveted title of Seniors they elected Edward Eddy as president and Dr. W. T. Dayton as adviser. The class chartered a bus for a very successful Senior Sneak to Chicago. At the resignation of Edward Eddy, Charles Fisher was elected president and the class regret¬ fully prepared to leave the “Old Triangle.” CHARLES ALBER persistent A. B.

YOUNG people of Marion College love and admire the fine character of the pastor and his wife, Rev. and Mrs. W. S. Freeborn. They have proved to be a real blessing to the students and worthy spiritual guides. The challenging and uplifting messages together with a devoted and consistent life have proved a stimulus through which many students have overcome spiritual defeat. Rev. and Mrs. Freeborn Thirty-four J ' Oh U)vAAhJp The College Church is a beautiful structure both within and without, where each Sunday morning and evening the youth of Marion College gather to worship our God. Here it is, in this sacred temple that many hearts have found God, or renewed old covenants, or received new blessings which have spurred them on courageously to greater endeavors. The College Church serves as an inspiration and challenge for building high, noble, worthy character. It beckons us to service—Christian service. With the peace which has followed World War II, God grant that many will accept this urgent challenge and strive to maintain this peace by en¬ deavoring to establish peace in the hearts of men toward God and our fellowmen. Thirty-five fcvanqsdiAiA Rev. Leslie D. Wilcox, President of the Ohio Conference of the Wesleyan Methodist Church held the winter revival in the College Church on November 4-18. A series of soul-searching messages was pre¬ sented to the student body during the regular chapel periods, as well as during the evening services conducted in the Church. These mes¬ sages were destined to enrich the lives of each listener as Rev. Wilcox so capably and force¬ fully delivered the gospel truths. One of the most fruitful of all the services was one held in the chapel on Wednesday, November 14, when Rev. Wilcox presented I Corinthians 2:9-10. He spoke of the planes of our Christian life, and as he spoke the Holy Spirit spoke to a large number who sought and found Christ. Victory was the keynote of the following chapel when approximately one hundred and fifty students testified to the victory in their souls. The meetings were a great blessing to the College Church, the community, and the school. United we say, “Thank God!” Our winter revival was held from Jan. 27, to Feb. 10, with Rev. David A. Rees as evan¬ gelist. Rev. Rees is the assistant publishing agent of the Wesleyan Methodist Church. He attended Houghton College and taught school at Wellsbury, New York, following his gradua¬ tion. Mr. Rees has had a successful career in the ministry as a preacher, as a conference pres¬ ident, and now in his present position. His experiences in both classroom and pastorate gave him an understanding of youth problems. It would be difficult to say how much was accomplished during these two weeks of so ul searching victories and blessings. Each service in the church was fruitful and many students found victory in the prayer room following the chapel services. The revival touched the lives of many outsiders as well as members of the student body. We praise our Heavenly Father for honoring the messages of Rev. Rees and giving us victorious services. Thirty-six STUDENT CONFERENCE I Seated: V. Holycross, Wilcox. Back row: R. Bateman, Tesnow, W. Freeborn, Burns, Simpson. Shudsmi fonffaji nai The Student Conference is the center of the religious activities of M. C. It sponsors the prayer services throughout the week and sends teams regularly to the jail, the infirmary, and the Children’s home. Every Tuesday night at 6:30 o’clock the stu¬ dents gather in the chapel for a prayer service, and together they worship the Lord, in song, testimony, and prayer. A short message is brought by our student talent or visiting speak¬ ers. Students and faculty alike enjoy the real presence of God. The desire to spread this knowledge of the love of God, that is keenly felt among the stu¬ dents, comes from many consecrated students and under the able direction of Maurice Burns, the vice president, gospel teams are organized and sent to nearby churches. They are well rewarded for their untiring labors. Warren Freeborn, the president, has proved to be an inspiring spiritual leader and feels his responsibility to the work and to God. It is his aim along with the rest of the staff to provide services that will help and encourage the young people of Marion College. President . Warren Freeborn Vice President .

The W. Y. P. S. at Marion College is an ac¬ tive organization of the College Church. A large number of enthusiastic young people gather at 6:15 each Sunday evening to worship in a service designed to promote the spiritual growth of youth. Zeal, fervor, and earnestness characterize the W. Y. P. S. services as they were privileged to hear such outstanding speak¬ ers as Miss Stella Wood, Mrs. C. C. Decker, Mrs. Amos Jackson, Rev. H. K. Sheets, Rev. O. G. Wilson, and others. The leaders of the society this year were, Earl Alexander, president; Maurice Burns, vice-pres¬ ident; Wynette Shearouse, secretary and treas¬ urer; and the program committee included Eileen Bird, Carolyn Morgan, Vera Stair, and Robert Bateman. One of the outstanding programs of the year portrayed the “Life of Christ in Song.” An¬ other highlight of the W. Y. P. S. activities was the observance of “Youth Week.” During this observance the W. Y. P. S. had charge of the morning chapel services and two evening ser¬ vices. The final service was held Sunday after¬ noon with Rev. O. G. Wilson, Connectional Sun¬ day School Secretary, bringing the message. “We’ll March to the Tread of the Conquer¬ or” was chosen as the theme song for the week. Great enthusiasm and spirit was expressed in the singing and in every service. The W. Y. P. S. is more than an organization —it is the church at work with young people. Its purpose is to inspire, awaken, and prepare the youth of today for the responsibilities and activities of the Church of Tomorrow. Thirty-eight s F . M. W. B. F. M. S. M. W. B. E. Shirar, B.

B. has as its pur¬ pose the promotion of the missionary work by spreading information, arousing interest, gain¬ ing a ministry of prayer and to secure funds and volunteers for missionary service. The prayer of this organization has been “Lord give us a vision.” Under the capable leadership of Miss Blanche Epler, president, the S. M. W. B. sponsored the annual Missionary Convention, April 26-28. Many souls were blessed and a true missionary spirit permeated the atmosphere. The Foreign Mission Fellowship is an unde¬ nominational College organization with a pur¬ pose of interesting Christian young people in volunteering for foreign service. In over fifty colleges in the United States the Foreign Mis¬ sionary Fellowship is a functioning organiza¬ tion. Local officers this year who are representing Marion College are: president, Madalyn John¬ son; vice president, Sarah Willis; secretary, Margaret Carter; treasurer, Earl Alexander; Tract Rack Committee, Harold Johnson and Clinton Kiser; Bulletin Board, Berdenna White and Arelene Eddy; chorister, Viola Holy cross; pianist, Edna Miller; membership committee, Betty Tatsch, and David Major.

The Marion College A Capella Choir, under the direction of Prof. Herman Baker, enjoyed a year packed with spiritual blessing and good times. One of the outstanding events was sing¬ ing at the Youth for Christ in Chicago. Traveling the states of Indiana, Ohio, Mich¬ igan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota, the choir sang the gospel message to sin-sick hearts, as well as victorious Christians. Talent, as well as a vital Christian experi¬ ence, blended together produce inspiring har¬ monies which strengthen the body and beauti¬ fy the spirit. The Varsity Quartet, singing the gospel hymns, and ministering to various churches throughout the Indiana, Ohio and North Mich¬ igan Conferences, find great satisfaction in rendering service to their King. Many souls have been touched and helped by the efforts of the Marion College Quartet. Much prayer and trust in God are revealed to be the contributing factors making for success¬ ful Christian living. They have endeavored to pursue His guidance and leadership in their undertakings. The quartet, selected on the basis of adapt¬ ability, were good examples of Marion College’s musical fibre. Forty CHORUS Sopranos Mrs. L. Barse, J. Decker, E. Dickhart, E. Dunn, Mrs. M. Enyeart, E.

So it is with Marion College Chorus. Commu¬ nity, church and college combine to make the activities of the chorus high lights on the college calendar. Voices blended in tone and quality as well as spirit and understanding effectively motivate Christian living. In this way the Marion College Chorus serves to stimulate in¬ terest in the community as well as pursue its higher purpose, the adorning of the gospel of Christ. Approximately one hundred and twenty voices, musical ambassadors of Christ, unite in power-filled cooperation and purposeful har¬ mony to instill a deeper and more active faith in God. Christmas brings the never-diminishing in¬ spiration of Handel’s majestic oratorio, “The Messiah.” The soloists were: Mrs. Charles Fisher, Marion, Indiana, sop rano; Glennis Powers, Charles City, Iowa, alto; Harold Johnson, Fre¬ mont, Michigan, tenor; and Walter Freeborn, Marion, Indiana, baritone. Easter ushers in Maunder’s cantata “Olivet to Calvary.” Soloists were: Mary Lou Henry, Macy, Indi¬ ana, soprano; Harold Johnson, Fremont, Mich¬ igan, tenor; and Warren Freeborn, Marion, In¬ diana, baritone.

SEVERAL student organizations are maintained on the campus, growing out of the work of various departments, and activities of the dormitory. Religious organizations appeal to the spiritual aspect of our lives and endeavor to keep one spiritually alert, and informed about the present day religious happenings. The literary organizations foster wholesome competition in the selling of Marionettes, as well as in athletics and literary ability. Departmental organizations provide an opportunity for every individ¬ ual to participate in the field, which to him, is most interesting. These various organizations integrate personalities and develop origin¬ ality, cooperativeness, and progressiveness within the individual.

The Marion College Music Department pre¬ sented Miss Madalyn Johnson, Ponca City, Okla¬ homa, soprano, and Mr. Harold Johnson, Fre¬ mont, Michigan, tenor, in a joint recital Jan¬ uary 23, 1946. Sacred numbers, as well as clas¬ sical numbers and love songs created a charm¬ ing atmosphere. Miss Marjorie Wagner, soprano, and her sister Miss Lorraine Wagner, contralto, Ipswich, South Dakota, presented a recital in the col¬ lege chapel April 24, 1946. They very beauti¬ fully rendered inspiring musical numbers both in solos and duets. The Speech Department of Marion College presented Miss Verneen Butcher, Wisconsin, in a Senior recital May 1, 1946. She gave a cutting of Lantern in Her Hand by Bess Streeter Aldrich. A Junior Interpretation Recital was given by Doris Clevenger April 3, 1946. She was assisted by her sister Joyce Clevenger, chalk artist. Miss Mildred Jacobs, Ft.

J ' OJmudc The Forensic Club is exclusive for its mem¬ bership is based on competitive tryouts. The purpose of the club is set forth in its motto “Mend your speech a little lest it may mar your fortune.” This year seven new members were accepted in the club. The outstanding event of the year was the open program given in the Spring with Rev. James A. DeWeerd as speaker. Rev. DeWeerd, a former army chaplain, related some of his experiences while he was in America and over¬ seas. The chapel was filled with interested listeners. Eileen Bird was the able president this year. Serving as her helpers were: Marjorie Clouse, vice-president, and Madalyn Johnson, secretary- treasurer. Forty-five STUDENT COUNCIL Seated: Mrs. DeVol, Rigsbee, Z. Baldwin, Prof. Tay¬ lor. Back Row: M. Baker, Irby, C. Kis¬ er, Kenworthy, Man- love, Vermilyea, E. Ed¬ dy. Siadmt faunal Since its organization in 1938, the Student Council has been conducted with these two aims: to secure a closer relationship and better understanding between faculty and students, and to assist in the supervision of student ac¬ tivities. Student membership in the Council is de¬ termined by election of one representative for each class, the president of each class, and the president of the Council. The faculty is repre¬ sented by the two social deans. Regular meetings of the Council are held the first and third Mondays of each month. The duties of the Council are to initiate legis¬ lation, to have charge of all-school socials, and to maintain Marion College traditions, to ex¬ press student opinions to the faculty, to audit accounts of all student organizations and to keep a permanent file of constitutions. The au¬ thority of the Council is subject to faculty ap¬ proval and student referendum. Serving as president this year was Bob Ken¬ worthy. For their project, they redecorated the chapel. Forty-six INTERSOCIETY COUNCIL Seated: Wilcox, Dr. Bowman, W. Freeborn. Back Row: Higgins, May, Sime, M. Wagner. QnisLk-Sodsdif. faunal The Inter-Society Council was organized for the purpose of having general oversight of the literary societies, and serves as a clearing house for matters of interest between societies. Its organization is composed of the presidents of the literary societies, two members elected from each, and the faculty advisor, Dr. Allen Bowman. Each year several contests of a literary nature are conducted. The winners are announced and prizes awarded on commencement day. The literary societies sponsor such contests as ora¬ tion, short story, essay, extempore speaking, and dramatic reading. The spirit of friendly rivalry is fostered by the supervision of the Inter-Society Council, and at the same time they have helped the so¬ cieties to work together for their own growth and the benefit of the college.

This organization adds to the social and in¬ tellectual life of the college. Its purpose is to nurture a feeling of unity between the language departments and impart an understanding of each language; to stimulate interest in lan¬ guages—both modern, and classical. Languages represented are French, German, Latin, Spanish, Greek, and Hebrew. Prof. Main was elected sponsor of the group and the officers were elected as follows: President . Harold Johnson Vice-President . Gordon Cary Secretary-Treasurer. Ardene Higgins They presented an enlightening and enter¬ taining chapel program.

Its purpose is to create interest in the playing and appreciation of good instrumental music. Bob Klatt directed the orchestra the first term and Miss Juanita Baker directed it the last term. The orchestra made its first public debut on Harvest Day. It usually furnishes music at the commencement exercises. The purpose of the Youth Temperance Coun¬ cil is to help build a mor ally clean world. The members of the Council have opportunity to present the needs of the temperance cause in public programs, speech contests, and council projects. They were ably led this year by the president, Sheldon Duecker. Professor Elliott was club sponsor, Norma Kiser, vice president, Wynette Shearouse, corresponding secretary, and Paul Heavilin, treasurer.

Thirty-four Marion students are members, with Clifton Letherer, president. A “European Relief” program, participation in a District Convention at Oshkosh, Wiscon¬ sin, and “Know Your Neighbor” discussion meetings were special features. The annual banquet was held in April. Those smiling and congenial faces that greet you from behind the librarian’s desk belong to our competent and efficient librarians. Mrs. Elizabeth Ayers, serving as chief ex¬ ecutive of the staff, conducts a training class each year. It is aimed to make the course an introduction to the library profession and also to give the knowledge of reference tools and methods essential for doing research work.

In the first meeting of the fall term Maurice Burns was elected president. Edwin Hoover was chosen vice-president, while Jane Decker was elected secretary-treasurer and Prof. Fessenden was selected as the club sponsor. December 6, the club presented an open program, a part of which was held in the chapel. An interesting demonstration on radio was fol¬ lowed by a skit showing a glimpse of what is done in a hospital laboratory. After this in¬ teresting presentation tours were conducted through all of the laboratories where a repre¬ sentative of each department explained and illustrated the work of that department. In addition to this program there was a chapel program on “The Fourth Dimension and the Bible,” a discussion given by Prof. Porter. Fifty-one • Jk Amphictyon First row: Norman, Beasley, E.

(Imphkhjon The majestic ship “Amphic” manned by its friendly crew sails with the rudder set unerr¬ ingly toward the Port. “Onward and Upward” is the theme which inspires loyalty and the never wavering desire to accomplish the most worthy. Rush Day gained sixty-five new members for the society. The spirit of friendliness perme¬ ates the Amphictyon atmosphere. Athletic records pronounce the Amphics vic¬ torious. The Harvest Day softball games proved a real excitement as the Amphictyon girls won their first victory in several years. The fellows also proved victorious. In basketball, the girls and fellows again proved successful. The friend¬ ly spirit of competition was at a high degree, but the spirit of good Christian fellowship was at the top as the coeds expressed their whole¬ hearted confidence in their team. The cheering section responded with great enthusiasm under the leadership of Betty Jean May and Ronald Ripley. This year completed four years of cheer leading for Betty Jean. “Peace on Earth” was the theme of the chapel program presented by the Amphictyons. Presidents for the three terms respectively were Betty Jean May, James Decker, and May¬ nard McConn. Fifty-two EUREKANS First row: Oler, Anderson, Martin, King, Ledy, D. Powell, D.

Found the literary society that exhibits plenty of enthusiasm, friendliness, and a Christian spirit. Their school spirit and pep was demonstrated this year in their outstanding effort to sell Marionettes which led to their winning of the silver loving cup, the second year in succession. Their friendly rivalry with the Amphics in the Marionette Sales Contest did not dampen their spirit of cooperation, for they all boosted together, Amphic and Eurekan alike, raising the money for the redecorating of our chapel as a joint project of the two literary societies for the year. Eurekans enjoy athletics and have some very good athletes. Those chosen for the All Star Teams were Mildred Jacobs, Dru Wood, Robert Kenworthy and Loring Peterson. One of the great assets to the Eurekan athletes was the enthusiastic Eurekan cheering section led by Joan Evans, Wanda Lou Teska, and Paul Heavi¬ lin. Eurekans do not neglect the social life of a student. Evenings of hilarity and fun were enjoyed by those attending their open program “Jim and Judy Go to College” and their auto party. Under the capable leadership of their three successive presidents, Gladys Sime, Walter Ti¬ tus, and Harold Shigley, this has been a year of triumph for the Eurekan Literary Society.

The Council of Cheerful Comrades who oc¬ cupy the women’s dormitory, known as Teter Hall, sponsor several annual events. The beauti¬ ful Christmas dinner brings pleasant memories of popcorn trees for table centers, formats, flow¬ ers, and new couples. The Thanksgiving Din¬ ner, Valentine Dinner, and Birthday Dinner in the spring characterize the social life of the c. c. c. Long after Teter Hall has been vacated and the industrious women of the C. C. C. have separated to their various sections of the United States, the melodic strains of “Moon River” will prove a sufficient stimulus for reminiscing of the good old days when they chatted about the new couples, discussed love, planned committee meetings and skipped classes to stand in the honored “nylon line.” Presidents of the C. C. C. this year were Madalyn Johnson, Betty Rigsbee, and Gladys Sime. The Senators and Representatives are those important-looking fellows who make their abode in the distinguished Congress Hall. Acting as president was Bob Vermilyea. After Bob moved, Sheldon Duecker was elected. Les¬ ter Wilcox was elected to the office of vice president when former vice president Lowell Kester moved. Other officers were; Secretary- treasurer, Bill Hersey; Secretary of Interior, Francis Ott; Secretary of Agriculture, Phil Jones; Secretary of War, Bob Hersey. The S. A. R. sponsored an interesting auction sale in the gymnasium and an exciting softball game with the outsiders. They also presented a very entertaining chapel program. Fifty-four ENT ☆ Seated: N.

U)jommA CUhlsdk CjAAocicdtion Attention girls—a new society was formed this year on the college campus which held the spotlight, namely the Women’s Athletic Asso¬ ciation. This organization has as its purpose the pro¬ motion of athletic activities for women in order to increase interest in athletics, to set a high standard of sportsmanship and wholesome liv¬ ing, and to foster a spirit of service to the college. The Women’s Athletic Association held its first meeting November 1, 1945. The highlight of the meeting was the election of officers for the year. Sitting at the governing table were: Eileen Bird, president; Vera Stair, vice presi¬ dent; Evon Gaberdiel, secretary; Velva Hatha¬ way, treasurer. As a successful society calls for an excellent cabinet, Betty Tatsch was elected Activity So¬ ciety Chairman; Clarice Tesnow, Social Chair¬ man; Norma Larson, Membership Chairman; and Darlene Imler, Publicity Chairman. Any woman student in Marion College is eligible for membership in the W. A. A. Points for participation in W. A. A. activities were awarded according to the association Point System. Those who received one hundred points in one academic year were eligible for numerals. Such sports as tennis, ping pong, bicycling, ice skating, hiking, basketball, volleyball, and softball were well represented in the sports ac¬ tivities of the year. Miss Hodson was elected as the Women’s Athletic Association sponsor. Fifty-five Marionette Seated: Jackson, Prof. Porter, Clouse, Fisher, Wilcox. Eack row: V. Stair, Higgins, D. Johnson, Boyce, L.

But then “all things come to those who wait” and all things included film. Then, too, a schedule for the year is a very nice thing, but that doesn’t mean that everything will line up according to that schedule. Still, it has been a pleasure and a thrill to record in picture and pen the vear of 1945-46 at M. C. % A new phase of Marionette work was begun when Prof. Porter located that next-to-impos- sible-to-find item—a 4x5 Speed Graphic camera. After literally looking all over the country, one was found in Marion. After the camera was purchased a developing outfit was set up and we proceeded in earnest to make our own pictures. The staff wishes to thank everyone who has helped us by your splendid cooperation for this year’s annual. Fifty-six Journal Staff Seated: May, Imler, Oman, Miss Thompson.

There’s a hurry and flurry to get the articles in and typed and then they’re shuffled back and forth between here and the printers until you take them as you file out the chapel door. The Journal editor’s work is never done until the last issue is distributed. Sometimes it seems as if “nothing has happened” for the last two weeks and then again, there’s just too much to find room for it all in one paper. But the staff has never failed to come through with an interesting, up-to-the minute Journal. Sev¬ eral scoops were made and one of the most out¬ standing of these was the one of the Marionette sales contest. As a project they again sent Journals to those who were still in service. Fifty-seven E “Beautiful Ohio,” land of satisfaction to many of our Marion College students, manifests her worth by contributing large cities, small towns, rolling hills, and agricultural districts as her products. These spirited and salient Buckeyes proved a real asset to the campus of Marion College. The Buckeyes elected Lester Wilcox as their president; Phil Jones, vice president; Zylpha Baldwin, secretary; and Professors DeVol and Taylor, sponsors. BUCKEYES First row: Walter, B. Miller, R.

WOLVERINES Every year more and more Wolverines come to the Marion College Campus and every year they steadfastly hold to their contention that none but the Michiganites enjoy the aromatic pine trees, the endless drifts of snow, the grace¬ ful elusive deer, the uncontrollable dunes, and the numerous placid lakes. They also agree that Marion College is the place where all Wolverines are united with an affection that makes it next best to Michigan. This club elected Roy Whittum as their president; Betty Jean May, vice president; Elaine Stewart, secretary; and Dr. Bowman, sponsor. Fifty-eight E D I X From south of the Mason Dixon line hails one of the most distinguishable groups of people represented on the college campus. These Dixies possess a variation in speech and man¬ ner which mark them as our charming dele¬ gates from the romantic Southland. The Dixies chose J. W. Kiser as their leader for this school year. Other officers were Earl Alexander, vice president; Billie Faye Morri¬ son, secretary; and Professor Clayton Lawrence as sponsor. DIXIES First row: M. Foster, Nor¬ man, Morrison, Robertson, E.

Spaulding, McIntyre, Rigs- bee, D. Barse, Bullock, E. Ripley, Mrs. Goodwin. Standing: Snow, Bajus Turnbull, Dr. Dayton, L. Barse, R. Ripley. E “Little but mighty” well describes this group of noble Easterners. What they may lack in size is well compensated for by their sterling qualities which have been their heritage. They boast of their fondness for the hills of Penn¬ sylvania, the rockbound coasts of the Atlantic Ocean, and the density of New York. The Easterners elected Dorothy McIntyre for their president; Jerry Bullock, secretary and treasurer; Ken Bajus, vice president, and Dr. Dayton, sponsor.

Within the club is a spirit of loyalty, enthusiasm, spiritual¬ ity, and cooperation. It is the sincere desire of the club to attain the high and noble things m life. Since the native state naturally has the larg¬ est state club on the campus, Indiana has rep¬ resentatives in nearly every activity of Marion College. The club has a membership of approx¬ imately one hundred students. To be progres¬ I E R S sive any group of persons must have its leaders. Eddie Hoover, president; Jane Decker, vice- president; Betty Barney, secretary; and Vera Stair, treasurer have proved themselves to be very capable officers of the club. An outdoor party and a chapel program were sponsored by the club and it participated in the sports of the school. The Hoosiers are glad to welcome to the campus every student from the north, the east, the west, and the south. Together we shall go forward. Miss Hodson was selected as club sponsor.

W E S T E The Westerners, a club composed of ninety- two students from the “friendly West,” was headed this year by Walter Simpson. Other officers were Blanche Epler, vice-president; Wil¬ ma Duncan, secretary; Luke Turnbough, treas¬ urer. Miss Laura Emerson is the club sponsor. These energetic people are well known for their breakfasts. In the early hours of the morning the groups go to Matter Park, cook and eat a hearty breakfast, have a softball game and are back on the campus before many are out of bed. For the final part of their fun the group forms a large circle on the campus and sings their club song, “Home on the Range.” R N E R S The club gave a Westerner’s chapel display¬ ing the talents of different members of the group. A speaker forcefully presented the ad¬ vantages of the West over the eastern part of our country and described several of the beauty spots of the West. On the basketball floor these hardy individ¬ uals always appear with red bandanas around their necks so that there can be no doubt that they are the Westerners. These students from the West have added their part to the life on the campus at M. C.

A spirit of friendly competition is fostered in the various athletic contests. Basketball, baseball, volleyball and tennis are among the main interests. There are also facilities for tumbling, ping pong, and shuffleboard. In this season’s inter-society games both Amphic boys and girls tri¬ umphed. The Buckeye boys and Combination (Dixie-Easterner) girls led the state teams and the Senior boys and Sophomore girls were victorious in the class tourneys.

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.

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.
