The Parish l-louse blaze would have been one of the better- attended fires of the year if it had not brol4en out at such a disgustingly early hour of the morn- ing. Even many of the regular student firemen slept vvhile the fire, smol4e, vvater, and firemen did from 5,000 to 6,000 dollars dam- age. l-lowever the ones who were there had a great time, and the insurance company paid all ex- penses.

Blending hues, rich as the tones ol a great symphony, banl4 the terraces which en- throne Givens l-lall. These Flowers, delicate as a poem by Shelly, open the petals of their outermost Florets as showy landing stages for the expectant bee. And between careless heaps of spiraea, clumps of color more supreme than the oils of Rembrandt, students pass to and from classes in their unending quest for knowledge. Page 14 EF T0 THE Society is an organism, White- head maintains and most mod- ern philosophers nod their serious heads. The slide at the right shows a cross-section of an artery in the collegi- ate blood stream with about eleven healthy corpuscles in active circulation. During the flush of spring, we sometimes vvonder hovv sense of beauty managed to survive the drab, drear months of winter amid scenes bereft of hyacinths and purple martims.

Shortly pelore the lirst hall ended, Centralls Iirst score came as the result of a Randolph to Burton to Teel razzle-dazzle ollensive. Late in the game Randolph again passed, this time to ,lack Miller who caught the pall on the goal There is probably ample cause for the well-matched loolcs of concern on the faces of Coaches Clingenpeel, Kline, and Smith. ' Page 76 The Rockhurst game provided a genuine bit of melerdrama for the football stage.

The night following this game Bobby Vanatta, passing ace of Central's team, re- ceived injuries in an automobile accident which were to keep him out for the season. Fighting a rough battle against heavy odds, the Eagles lost to the Rockhurst l-lawks '13-6. Randolph prevented an Eagle shut-out by plunging for a Central score after having heaved a long pass to Burton who in turn lateralled to l'lamilton who wound up on the 'l yard line. A tense feeling which was growing all through the game flared up when Carr, Rockhurst tackle, replaced Nelson Dwight's false front tooth with his fist. When order was restored, Coaches l-loodand Clingenpeel agreed in gravely describing the affair as a Uregrettable incident. Warrensburg, out to avenge last year's '14-'I3 defeat failed to get any satisfaction from a 6-6 tie. Central took the opening kick-off and four plays later Randolph passed to Edmonston Babe lateralled to l lamilton, who scored Warrensburg s Gooch picked up 6 points in the last half Qpening the conference season, the Eagles completely cleaned the Tarkio Owls Q46 Les Stallings performed brilliantly as he scored two of Centrals touchdowns behind beautiful interference Randolph plunged over for another score, but it was Bill lVlorrow Q'lO pound freshman, who sparkled in a 52 yard touchdown run with an inter cepted Tarkio pass P g 77 uf rx , 1 .

The Eagles tailed to licl4 their weight in Culver Stockton Wildcats, losing 'l9-O. They returned from Canton with only the bus in good order. Edmonston was out for the rest oi the season with a brol4en collar bone, while Randolph, Ligon, lVlcQuarry, and Dwight received injuries that l4ept them out oi several games. The two weel4s lay-oil had proved a disastrous one ior the team's physical condition. Following the usual pre-game rivalry, Central did battle with their traditional Foe, Missouri Valley. Fighting a hopeless situation with Five injured regulars not even suited up, a battered group oi' Eagles were humiliated 26-O. Marvin Teel prevented a greater score with his distance punting and excellent ball-carrying without interference.

Appearing before the home fans for the first time on January 'IO, the Eagles bowed to Springfield's Teachers 30-Q4. Cen- tral's slender sophomore, Leon l-larris, led the scoring of both teams with 'IO points. - 'The following weel4 Central opened its conference season at larldo, putting up a real battle before losing to the powerful Owls 44-35.

Leading virtually until the closing seconds, Central's inability to convert free throvvs cost her the game. l3illy Skillman again led the team, scoring 14 points, getting one goal in the overtime period. Meeting Culver Stockton's colorful Wilcats in Fayette, Central again played good ball but was dovvned 31-21. Art l-lendron's late pivot shots assured victory for the visi- tors While ul-lankn Warren was holding the brilliant l.arry l-loff in check. Skillman led Central's scoring vvith 6 points. With false hopes aroused, the Eagles met Missouri Valley February 12, but it proved to be their third home defeat 39-28. Led by Grover Redford, Whose 13 points all came in the last half, Valley forged ahead and vvon in a vvalk. Skillman, Central's habitual top scorer, got 13 points to remain high in the lVl.C.fAN.l,l. scoring race. l-laving become accustomed to defeat, the Eagles vvere guests of Westminster on Valentine's Day but left the party with a broken heart 32-18. Playing listlessly, Central was no match for last year's champion although Skillman, as usual, vied vvith Barrovvs of Westminster for high scoring honors vvith 8 points. Big Babe and Li'l Hank go up after a rebound while Stew stands ready to lend any needed assistance. For his outstanding play as Central's scoring ace Bill Skillman received a forward berth on the second all-star mythical five. Sophomore Leon l-larris from New Franklin is definitely the center of interest in this shot ofthe Kemper game here.

Always near the top in scholarship, the Scribblers have led in enthusiasm since their be- ginning in 1924. -l-he club produced its annual chapel program with little damage to the cause of litera- ture, and revived two customs which are traditionally annual. The First revival, completed without the aid of newcomers Asahi, Lltz, and Palmer, was the cooperative novel, last perpetrated in 1938. The revived version, entitled Hfaxlgernon, a Novel Reiutation of l-loratio Algerf, carried the Scribbler hero eleven chapters downward from the custom- arily low beginnings of a success story. Page 90 The second revival vvas the publication of Scribblings, vvlwicli made its lastappearance in 1937. -l-lie 1940 edition includes a limited number of representative and prize-vvinning selections from tlme year's literary contributions, preserved for the editication of posterity and tlie deliglwt of time autliors.

The usuaI September problems of'the band seemed greater than ever this year, but they managed to soIve them to the satisfaction of everyone concerned, incIuding the student body, which is no simpIe tasI4. Due to his nevv position as music director at GIasgovv I-Iigh SchooI, Charlie Armstead was unabIe to direct the band. -Iherefore, the most pertinent question vvas, Who shaII front the band?H In seIecting veteran Bobby Smart the band chose a good front in more than just in the anatomical sense.

The band still plays under the name ol Charlie Armstead who Clor the benefit of the freshmenb owns it. Other replacements made were Jaclc Pedigo For Herman Woolsey at the piano, Jack Higgins toolc the place of saxophonist Clair Fiddiclc, and Dick Hersh is pounding the drums that Stinky Davis once beat. Ken Early vvas added to the trom- bonedepartment. Pedigo has made several arrangements for Armstead during the year and won favor and lame as the composer ol Gin Fizz , which was First introduced at the Kappa-Alpha dance. The old members need no introduction. Everyone is acquainted with the melodious tones of the saxophones ol Kratz, Holmes, and U-lvvo Beatu Hume, the rhythm of l.ulce Luclcenbill and his bass Fiddle, and the swinging trumpets ol Dagvvood Welton, Harper, and Murphy.

This is entirely in keeping with the desire ol the members to cooperate in all campus activities in h' ' ' may be ol value. 'I The homecoming season is an especially busy time lor art club members, since there are ,signs to be painted, Floats to be built, and a set to be constructed lor the coronation of the Homecoming King and Queen. This year the club concentrated on the design and execu- tion of-this set rather than Iollovving the usual custom of trying to build an art club Float at the same time. However, most of the other organizations had at least one person on their Float committees vvhom rumor or reputation had marked as an artist. Throughout the vv ich their services YCGI' Page 116 l i 'A' these same people have happily gone about their tasl4s of planning decorations, place cards, invitations, costumes, and posters. A discussion of the virtues of prospective new members at the First meeting of the year ended in the election of Nadine Taylor, Donna Mae Brandt and Georgia Morris. At the semester, vvhen the question of nevv members again came up, the following were chosen: Peggy Sherman, Marian Pickett, Elizabeth Mills, Doris Street, Jane Streit, Cornelia Winton, and Bobby Joe l-leying. The vvell-developed social program of the organization probably reached its pealc at the Christmas dinner in the homey atmosphere of Mrs. CliFFord's Tea Room. Dancing to music furnished by Bill Gilloclc followed the dinner. ln the course of the evening Bob Moore repeated his Alec Templeton imitations of the masters on the piano, and President Ruthie Underwood gave a Fine exhibition ol impromptu solo dancing.

I'Iitch, superintendent of Kemper IVIiIitary SchooI, Page120 who had just returned from a tour by air of the major European countries, gave many inter- esting observations on the European situation. Dick Achuf-f, who later held the interest of students at chapel, gave an informative talk on probation and parole at the December meeting. With the spring air filled with thoughts of the approaching election, Dr. Shavv, Prof. Kline, Sam Baskett, and Bill Rosegrant participated in a panel discussion of the various issues involved in the current presidential campaign. V Pi Gamma Mu does not try to add directly to the campus social activities, but the in- formal meeting held in the Gaddis home and occasional parties tend to create a spirit of fellowship among the members. Cn the evening of December '12, they held a Christmas party at the Gadclis home. After the refreshments were served they gathered around the Christmas tree and exchanged gifts. Each year during commencement vveek the members entertain themselves and their alumni guests at a Waffle breakfast. Again this year they vvill draw the curtain on the work for 1940, seated around a breakfast table busily engaged in the destruction of dozens of golden-brown vvaffles.

It will then be a more important fact to you than dates Chistorical --not the other kindj or irregular verbs or formulae. , For while there are other good engravers, there is only one Burger-Baird. Good plates? Yes, the best, and pride in their craftmanship. Prompt with them, too. But the main thing that keeps Burger-Baird the best kgown name among middle-west en- gravers seems to be-well, call it savvy.

But when a contract is awarded to Midland, the printer's real effort does not begin until after the contract is signed. Midland always thinks of the future. The one best way to sell future staffs is to treat the present staff well. The only way to treat an annual staff well is to give hammer-and-tongs service, and to deliver thoroughbred quality. . T here's little cleverness in that kind of selling, but clever selling won't build a record such as Midland's: 26 years of successful yearbook service, without a serious flaw ini a sparkling string of annuals.
