'ii ATHLETICS 'Because we realize that we must have a high standard of health, physical efliciency, recreational sociability and true sportsmanship, athletics come to the front in B. M. T. S. life and new sports are being enjoyed by our students. This year archery was added, and say, have you seen Mae Hunter hit the bul1's eye? She should be able to, having been up many times before breakfast to practice. As always, captain ball is our outstanding sport. And what fun it is! Al- though the poor Freshmen didn't know what it was all about at first, they soon learned and have given the Juniors and Seniors strong opposition through- out the year. Many interesting games were played: one between the Faculty and Seniors at which Miss Utecht played the part of the peanut vender, and one between the Cilee and Gleeful Clubs. The latter game ended in a scoreless tie, much to the relief of the doubting Gleeful Club. Croquet has been a popular sport, when the weather permitted, with Miss Simpson, Mrs. Heath and Miss Spencer defeating all comers. Some of our girls have indulged in the invigorating exercise which hiking affords, but perhaps one of Chicago's greatest rackets is that formed by the tennis players in the sunny court. In the morning, five minutes before breakfast, we have had setting-up exer- cises, Miss Brimson and Miss Noyes being our instructors. And in the Spring it was almost impossible to quell the ardor of a certain band of early rising, rope-jumping enthusiasts. In trying to maintain a high standard of health, physical efficiency, recrea- tional sociability, and true sportsmanship we are broadening our Christian life. 4l

---1 THE BEAcoN l--1 When I feel myself being caught in the whirl of city life where there is too little of normal balance, I check myself up with that life at the Training School, where there is a sane balanced living of the abundant lifeg where study, play, household tasks, service for others and spiritual development are moulded to- gether into Christ-centered lives. Be mine to serve as a worthy representative of this great school and its Master, Jesus Christ. r LOUISE MUNDT -- 1930 STUDENT GOVERNMENT You should come with me to a meeting some time, Molly, said Mr. Grey- mouse. Those girls are too amusing. Last Monday in their regular monthly meeting I sat in the corner listening, and I'l1 swan, I never was in such a live business meeting. Why, it was over in just a little more than an hour, and the things they discussed! They talked about something called a Seminary party, and seemed to be very interested. One of the young ladies moved that they buy drop cords for their pressing rooms and the motion was carried unanimously: you might even say joyously. Oh, and I must tell you, the president mentioned something about keeping food in the kitchenettes covered. I was rather put out about that and moved from my corner just a trifle, and as I stretched a bit, a motherly maiden sitting in the back row saw me, dropped her darning and jumped up onto her chair with both feet. I decided to leave. Well, well, they do have nice meetings, don't they? I've been to several student council meetings and they are iine, too. There is no criticism there, just discussion and trying to solve the problems that come up, squeaked Molly Mouse. I went to a Faculty-Student Council meeting one Saturday night, she continued. It certainly is line, isn't it, that the Faculty and Students meet together in this way so they can find out how better to cooperate and make an even friendlier spirit between the faculty and students? Yes, sir, said Mr, Greymouse, emphatically. I certainly wouldn't leave this school. Why there is never any squibbling or squabbling: they laugh and sing and are always helping each other. They consider each other's feelings, too. Why every night except Eriday and Sunday their lights are out at ten and they are as quiet as can be! Yes, I know, said Molly, they certainly are splendid girls. I heard one say one time something about 'seeking not his own but each other's good' and I am sure that is the principle on which they live. Yes, ma'm, I agree with you, declared Mr. Greymouse. Come on, let's see if there are any crackers in the kitchenette, called Molly. and she scampered off down the corridor! S F. . 40

IN KINDERGARTEN CURRICULUM CLASS Irene Patterson Cwith conductor doll she had madej : My! I-Ie's wobbly. Miss Williamson: Yes, if you look at him he falls down. I. Patterson: Yes, and if he looks at you he falls all to pieces. Marie Stoddard: Marjorie, what kind of bandage are you putting on? M. B.: One for a fracture between the elbow and ankle. Leona Bushnell: I'm so disgusted. Every time I go to that church they say the Municipal Benedictionf' fLeona is from Hinckleyj OLD TESTAMENT HISTORY CLASS Raffaelaz Weren't living conditions terrible in the Ark during the flood? Jessie Pharr: Not as bad as living conditions outside of the Ark. ' IN JOHN CLASS Miss Brimson: Alice, how do we know the Triumphal Entry was on Sunday? Alice Carlson: Miss Carman said so. Miss Tuller: What are you playing, Bea? Bea Parker: Why, Miss Tuller, have you studied music in Europe and all over and don't know 'Holy, Holy, Holy'? IN JUDAISM CLASS Miss Carman: Now, 1et's consider the dating, but I Want to tell you first, please don't take it seriously. QWe've been wondering ever since what kind of dating she referred to. Do you suppose it had anything to do with Jonah's experience in the fish's society ?j IN RELIGIOUS EDUCATION Kathryn Beadle: Now, these organizations are all responsible to this cab- inet, and if anyone wants a date he has to go to the cabinet to get it. We're wondering if good spelling isn't a necessary attribute for a missionary to have? Let's ask Anna Mize how to spell Borshock, and Bessie Gillies how to spell Egypain Art. And Virginia Cox has a very close relationship with Harold Antipath. But who knows how to spell Israelights ? 42
