RESERVE use 'life's Intrinsic Values' ls Theme at Sunday Vespers "Life's Intrinsic Values" was the theme around which was built a most impressive and thought provoking talk given Sunday evening at Vespers by Dr. Harold Cooke Phillips, pastor of First Baptist Church, Cleveland. Dr. Phillips pointed out three types of evaluations that people place upon things in general: the comme1'cial value, or how much something means to us by its worth in money alone-the utilitarian value, or how much actual use a thing is going to be to us-and third, the intrinsic value, or how much something is worth to us just in the permanent lasting enjoyment we will receive from it. This last type of value, Dr. Phillips sta- ted, is increasingly difficult to appreciate in our timesg we must not allow commer- cial and utilitarian values to crowd out the values of culture. Our Christian religion sends us to explore the truly woith-while things of life-the lasting things, which will never pass, while lesser issues fade away. Our speaker, Dr. Phillips. was born on the island of Jamaica in the Wcst Indies. After graduating from Denison University. Granville, Ohio, he continued his education at Columbia University and at Union Theo- logcial Seminary, both in New York City. Dr. Phillips' inspiring messages and sin- cerity of manner have made him in the past few years a speaker to whom the whole school looks forward to hearing every year. Dr. Harold Cooke Plzillips Answer Comes from War-Torn Wester Souliurg, Thanking Reserve for Proposed Aid Scenes of devastctfion in Wester Soulmry When Western Reserve Academy realized the connection between its new bell in the chapel tower and the war-devastated, flooded village of Wester Souburg in Holland, the school council hit upon the idea of sending a Christmas present to the people of the village. During the Christmas season of 1944 a campign raised S2125 for this pur- pose. At that time the council sent a letter to the burgomaster of Wester Souburg. By graduation time much more informa- tion about the bell's origin had been found out by alumni in Holland, the principal facts obtained by Carl Hess, '33. This information was sent to the alumni in the commencement invitations. Recently both Dr. Hayden and Mrs. Kitz- miller received answers to the letters sent to the burgomaster. Mrs. Kitzmiller has been active in both the investigation of the history of the bell and the campaign for money, and almost all the work of research and literature about the bell has been turned over to her. In the letters, A. H. S. Stemerding, "Voorzitter" of "Oost-en West- Souburg," expressed his thanks for Re- serve's thoughtfulness in collecting the An Apology . THE RECORD regrets that in the issue of last week in the story con- cerning the Anniversary and Memor- ial Campaign appearing on the front page, the name of Pearce F. Boyer was inadvertently omitted as chair- man of the Cleveland organization. This is particularly regrettable in view of the fact that the Cleveland unit is the largest of the 19 areas comprising the campaign's organiza- tion and Mr. Boyer and his commit- tee have already done a great deal of work for the success of the pro- gram. After the copy for the last REC- ORD had gone to press word was re- ceived that Dr. C. H. Hamilton of Oberlin had accepted the campaign chairmanship for that area. money for the village. He said, however, that money was of little value in devastated Holland and hoped that future gifts might be in material things. Since the tide Hoods the village twice a day, the ground has been ruined for planting. He therefor suggested that instead of seeds the academy buy clothing, shoes and rubber boots. and bicycles to send to Holland. Of the 6000 people who once lived in the vil- lage, only about 2300 remain, living in sec- ond-stories of the Hooded buildings. Mrs. Kitzmiller is working now on methods to collect, buy and send these necessary goods to the residents. The money already col- lected is in the Hudson bank, and it is hoped that another campaign this year will raise the amount to possibly 3300. The Student Council met on Wednesday with Mrs. Kitz- miller and Dr. Hayden to formulate plans for a Christmas shipment of goods for the stricken village. To Reserve, the bell, which was cast in 1611 by Jan Burgerhuys of Wester Sou- burg, is one of the strongest links between the school and war-torn Europe. Murray Goddard, another alumnus, acquainted him- self with two citizens ol Rotterdam, and from this and various sources we are still receiving information about the bell. As Mr. Stemerding says in his letter: "Please tell your students that they must appreciate their bell .... They must remember that thousands of inhabitants of towns and vil- lages in Holland miss the tone of their beloved bells, for the oppressor took them all." Daily Elected Council Member Saturday, after luncheon, the sophomore class held a meeting to determine a second council representative for their class. Daily, who was elected by a plurality vote, will take the place of Cal Beal who did not re- turn to Reserve this year. Dick received 19 of the 44 ballots cast. At this meeting it was also announced that Bob Barnard will advance to the posi- tion of president and there will be no vicc president unless an emergency should arise.

Page 12 RESERVE RECORD September 27, 1945 First Team Smashes Subs in Practice Game The Pioneer eleven for '45 experienced its first real game Saturday. In a tussle between the first-string and the second on the upper field it was proven that Roush, Sullivan, Joslyn and Co. are the best com- bination to be found in the squad. The team of boys, who are likely to get the nod to start the Roosevelt fray, were held and even moved back on their haunches during the first minutes. But this surpris- ing reversal soon proved that all the gang needed was a little rough stuff to wake them up. They soon had the ball advanc- ing rapidly towards the second team's goal line, and in no time at all they had hit pay dirt. This continued for the rest of the four quarters of the game. The second team and their substitutes were hardly able to make any yardage against the solid line of Vaught, D. Kramer, Kaylor, Shepard, Dewey, Jim Miller, and Howard. While their forward wall was holding ofi' the opposition and blocking down field for them, the backfield proceeded to run the ball practically where and as far as they pleased. Joslyn continually turned the tables on the other team's offensive, snatch- ing their passes out of the air and whirling through would-be tacklers to the end zone and another six points. 'The point making from their own of- fensive was shared between "Slippery" Sul- livan and "C. B." Roush. Both these halfs broke away to go over on more than one occasion. As for the extra points the at- tempts were divided between Roush and Howard. Neither was consistent. Though the actual score was not kept, it was well in the fifties for the first-string against no scores for the other teams. It is game experience that the Green and White will need against the Kent team Saturday as they will be playing against a team that has been "under fire" in three games previous to Reserve's opener. wif TT ' will I it as .

They spent a week p1'acticing, and the older and more experienced boys showed the 'younger and inexperienced ones some ofthe fine points in playing a good game of soccer. Since there was a fine turnout of the older boys, who had played the game before, it probably won't take a great while for new boys to become proficient. The whole group seemed very enthusiastic and were eager to get the season under way. At the end of the first week Mr. Clem- inshaw, who is in charge of the league boys, chose five seniors to captain the teams. These boys, who will attempt to lead their teams to victory, were Spud Milligan, Fred Neal, Thatch Rea, Bruce. Williams, and Dick Wright. All of these boys played on the league team last year and hope to have good teams again. Last year the teams were one-sided, but this year they appear more evenly matched. Some of shown that they can handle the ball and might tu1'n into good varsity material in the coming years. the new boys have already Last Sunday afternoon the teams were chosen by the captains at Mr. Cleminshaw's home, and on Monday the first scheduled game took place. The competition is keen, and most of the boys show good spirit.

Reardon The Time ls Now Last Saturday Reserve officially opened its fall competitive sports season. Though we bowed to our opponents in this first contest, we found we had the kind of spirit winning football requires. School spirit has been the topic. of many an editorial published in this paper in the past. We feel, however, owing to the im- portance of the subject, that it cannot be brought to mind too often. The outcome of last Saturday's game is well known. Our team needed experience. It- needed con- fidence. That is why we urge you to GET BE- HIND THE TEAM! Our rooters showed a gratifying display of enthusiasm last week, especially considering the fact that the game was played off campus, thus mak- ing it didicult for many to attend. If a few can do so well, what can we do as a whole? We want and need the kind of pep and vigor displayed last fall at the University School game. Let's not wait 'til the end of the season to give the team our best. Learn the school cheers. Attend the games. 'Let our rivals know that we mean business. To quote a well-known phrase-Come on, Reserve, LET'S FIGHT! , I-leldinilewzve Friday, October 5-Mr. Parker speaks in chapel, 8:05. Saturday, October 6--Football game with Parma, here, 2:30.

Vespers In the dictionary one finds that the word vespers refers to a religious service held late on the Sabbath day. It is most natural, therefore, for us to' have our ves- per service in the evening instead of in the afternoon. There are indeed many reasons which speak for having it at the new time instead of the old, first and most obvious among them being that it is now held at the hour when most vesper services are conducted. It may also be. said that the vesper service now comes at the beginning of the new week, instead of at the lowest ebb of the -old. Sunday tea marks the end of the old week, and it is then that the student's mind seems to turn to the tasks of the week ahead. The time itself is preferable be- cause then the service does symbolize a beginning instead of an ending. There was another complaint which was held rather generally against the old time, that it cut Sunday afternoon far too short. Many were the times that games had to be called off prematurely, or the downtown movie left at the crucial point, in order that one might be on time fort vespers. Moreover, the service prepares one for study, a difficult task on Sunday night, particularly after an especially good week- end. No one will deny that there are objec- tions to the change, among them one which is very sound. It is the fact that the change brings boys back from week ends earlier, particularly upper classmen. How- ever, now that more gas is available, the situation is not as bad as it might have been last year. Nor is it nearly as bad as it might have been had the decision been to bring the whole school back for a five o'clock vesper service. So there are con- solations. gust ton the CRacondl From my perch atop the tottering brick one and all as the an excellent view of the feature of which attempted dunking by structure' known to Athenaeum, I had last week's events, was, of course, the the sophomores of a member in bad stand- As this column went ing of their class. to press the same person was seen leaving town with a full laundry case-shades of "Meet Me in St. Augustine!" Magic in large quantities has been mys- tifying the brethren of Cutler Hall. Led by "Ten little fingers and ten little toes" Howard, who can make anything except the guys in his closet disappear, they have con- jured up many right good tricks. Even Scotch is baffled, which is definitely some- thing new. The football team got a good start on a crop of beards with their first loss of the season last Saturday. A few "men" have signed an agreement not to shave till we win a game. Shepard wants to know if WITHOUT RESERVE Waiting Can Be Fun! As I take pencil in hand in readiness to 3 ,, make all you new boys howl with laughter, my ' mind wanders back to I I a time earlier today f K fwhat a memoryj A when we had our week- 14 QI' ! ly "drop-day" throw 7 Pi E' , for waiter at our table. ff Of course it was purely Q fate lending a hand ,A when the count hap- " ' " ' pened to land on one "' of our innocent freshmen. Because my heart bleeds so for these young men I shall do my best to expose those awful tricks we upperclassmen pull on them. One of my favorites is the "odd man" racket. Although L do use this method with some skill, probably the best known artist along this line is "Blueshins" Gordon. I have heard several of his victims remark, "He blinded me with footwork!" Another little number that is often employed is the "Start with Weick and go around" rou- tine. No matter how much one argues, the counting always starts with Weick. Of course it isn't that the throw is fixed or anything of that nature. After all, this is Reserve! Builder of men! Well, on second thought, maybe it was fixed. Probably the farthest extreme to which anyone has carried this "throwing" busi- ness as yet was the occasion when Jim Rodman stumbled on a theory for making any chosen person or persons throw any number desired. The result was a compact machine capable of controlling 5000 volts. However, the machine was never used here and it was frowned upon by the dining room committee. "You might hurt Some- body with it," they said. Instead, Jim pat- ented it, and made a small fortune selling it to small-town jails, thus eliminating the necessity of taking all killers to the state prison to be electrocuted. So let me warn the new boys. Whenever an upperclassman wants you to throw for waiter-refuse him point blank. If it gets to the point where you have to carry bricks for talking back to seniors about throw- ing, don't relent. After all, it's not so hard carrying them. Ask those who know. N. H. they have to shave when we do win! Following in a noble tradition of many years' standing, the prefects have mass confiscations of the choicest able viands-yes, I know it's a "Word Wealth" word. The sophomores who fly low over Cutler are the chief losers. Be- fore "Muscles" Jarboe hits me, I'll leave. begun avail- B. H. W.
