President Bible, Christian Education Our School And !ts Aim Hesston College :Ind Bible School was founded to give young 111011 und young women il Christian Educatioll ill 21 Cln'isti:u1 li'1lVi1'0l11llG1li. Since its opening hundreds of young people have been blessed, and are now blessing others. Our students are serving God und their fellowmen far and wide. Some are in the ministry, some are in l1liSSl01l fields, some :ire touching young lives in the school room, while many ure holding the highest position that God permits His servants to fill-that of hoineinnkers. A1151 CTIUPCII School that is faithful to its duty must seek to send out from its halls young people who :ire cl1n1'z1.cterized as follows: 1. A living faith in a living God, and a firm conviction that the Bible is the inspired Word of God. . 2. A good moral C1l2l1'21CtG1' :ind higl1 ideals. 3. An attitude of loyalty to God, the Church, and the cause of righteousness. -t. Intellecturxl development suited to the facing of life's problems and duties. Healthy bodies, and the knowledge necessary for the 1'I12lll1ft:'l1211lCQ of health. 6. A sense of obligation to fellowmen and n burning desire to serve. 7. Ability to upprecizlte life and God's creation and an understznuling of human nature. 8. A cultivated devotional life that results in intimate contact with God. All this Hcsston College tries to accomplish. The testimonies we receive and the fact thot nn increasing number of our students are being'f':1lled and used of God makes us feel thot, i11 4: slnnll way at least, we ure succeeding. Our prayers for our students may be expressed by the following verse: HXVZIIIUBG, hearts baptized with fire, Hearts completely cleansed from sin, Hearts that Will go down to the mire, Hearts that dare do aught for I-Iilng Hearts that will be firmer. bruver, Hearts like heroes gone before, I-Ieurts to love Hiin more and more. The lust few years have been years of struggle. Some advocated closing the school. But. thunk God. this was not done. God has a great place for Hesston College and Bible School in the future of the Church. His inuuifest presence has belill felt very definitely. Our enrollment has doubled, and God has nmrvelously supplied our needs. The prospect for 1936-1037 is indeed encouraging. We are counting 011 :lnother increase in the size of our student body. Why shouldn't We have? There are many young people that want to nttend. We want to do all in our power to help every worthy young person who wishes to nttiend to do We are grateful for the COllllllOllti2lil'iG :itttitude of our students this year, :ind for the un- spnring efforts of the faculty ineinbers. The faculty showed that they were willing to lay down their lives for their students. The students responded becoxningly. The students :md faculty together have been workers with God. XVe ask our many friends to continue to 1'01Il8ll1ill'l' this work in their prayers, that Hesivenls blessing nniy continue to attend the work. and nnuke Hesston College and Bible School H great School for God and the Church. Yours for Christ und' our Young People, MILO KAUFFMAN TVVO The Lark Paul lfrb, A.M. ' i Dean Music, English Education as Exploration From the hour of his birth the child becomes an explorer. The mysteries of his bed, of his toes, of the shadows moving on the wall engage him for hours and days, When he learns to crawl, and later to toddle around, his curiosity stops at nothing. Every recess of the room, every leaf fallen from the geraniums, every loose thread of the rug must be investigated for its possi-f bilities of interest and pleasure. When he is able to roam out doors, the calls to attention multiply. The catalpa grove behind the implement shed, the little creek in the pasture, the dark corners of the haymow, the hranchy paths of the great elm in the yard-these all become familiar realms of delight. There no nook of his own home, or probably of the neighbor's either, that hc does not become familiar with. He is an explorer who will not be denied. For the normal individual this process never ends. As long as he lives he is receiving through his various senses bits of knowledge from here and there. I want to know, he calls, looking i11 every direction for possible sources of information. Something new to be seen, or heard, or felt, or tasted - how alluring it is, how impossible to he resisted. Learning is a delight, a pleasure which always calls for IDOIG. lVhen the boy or the girl goes to school, the haphazard nature of his learning gives way somewhat to the system of a cu1'riculum. Knowledge has been organized by his teachers into integrated bodies, and is presented to him in somewhat logical and related forms. He learns how to get facts from books, from laboratories, from observation in field and factory. A well organized and well conducted school experience sets l1i1n on paths of life-long exploration. It stimulates in him the fun of knowing, and teaches him what there is to be learned and how to go about it. The business of learning is life-longg but a limited period in school and college is such a concentrated and directed devotion to this business as will make it vastly more effective. The curriculum of I-Iesston College, of other similar institutions, introduces the learner to the facts in various fields of knowledge. He discovers what hc does not know and something of how he may find out. He thrills to see the crystals in the begonia leaf and the curious variety among the one-celled animals. He marvels at the orderly laws and infinite possibilities of com- bination in chemistry, he fairly loses his breath at the vastness of the interstellar spaces. The synapse ill psychology and the law of diminishing returns in economics become to him more than words and phrases. Pericles and Napoleon step out of the darkness of historical shadows and walk before him i11 the reality of their achievements in the world. Aristotle and Kant are no longer merely words to pronounce, but stand for something definite in the history of the world's thought. Through actual acquaintance with great literature, he discovers that Shakespeare is more exciting than the Rover Boys Series, and Walter Scott more worthwhile than Zane Grey. The list he makes of the books he wants to read sometime will probably last most of a lifetime. Through the study of language, both his native tongue and several foreign ones, he discovers the romance of etymol- ogy and the indefinable charm of sentence structure. In a school with such an emphasis as ours he will get at least an outline knowledge of the Bible. He will at least have a splendid opportunity to know God bettter and the experience of daily salvation. - It is fun to know. It is more fun to know more. Explore! Discover! It is the life! THREE F OUR The Lark DANIEL D. DRIVER, A. M. M athematics, Science Some, when asked, 'Why are you going to school? will ans- swer, lo get an education! Some may become educated without going to school, While others may go to school for years and not become educated. It seems to me education is adjusting oneys self to his environment now and also making preparation for futule living. We can never become perfectly educated. This period of adjustment and preparation does not end until we leave this scene of action. Education involves not only the training of the head and the hand but also of the heart. One must also prepare for life after death to be truly educated. MAURICE A. YODER, A. M. Bible, Biological Science About us is a world of mystery. Its origin, its existence, its continuation baffles every normal mind. The endeavor to compre- hend, to understand, to know, to have faith in this world is th-- task of education. The man who without distraction, and without fretting or worry learns the lesson of comprehension, understand- ing, knowledge, and faith, -is able to adjust himself to the ever new in life and has found happiness, joy and contentment. He acknow- ledges that over and above all he sees and feels there is a Divine intelligence and an outside force which has entered into his World and makes for solidarity, continuity, and harmony. ELIZABETH YODER, A. B. Correspondence, Domestic Science To my mind, education is the means by which individuals are enabled better to contribute- their share in -the ordinary as Well as the unusual situations of life. We think of books as the great sources of knowledge, and theyareg yet the value of such knowl- edge depends upon, .the actual benefit realized in the character of the individual. Someone has said: 'The making of books is all in vain, if books. in turn do not make 1nen!f Upright character, with the vision of service for God and humanity, should be the practical test and fruitfulness of Christian education. ALTA MAE ERB, A. M. A Education Education is preparation for life? Yes, if the life spoken of is the life of the student tomorrow. And as the tomorrows of school days go by the teacher, the parent, and all of true educational in- Light can see if the student is being educated or not. Let me men- tion just one test I would put. Are the experiences of today an- swering questions and problems of the student's mind, heart, and soul? If so, he is being educated. No questions, no explorations, no discoveries? Then no education. No solutions, no new vsatisfactions, no victories? Then no education. No thrills of accomplishments, no joys of higher ground, no new ideas for tomorrow's growth? 'l hen no education. The Lark JOSEPH N. BYLER, A. M. History, Social Science ln order to be educated one must not only possess a sound mind in a sound body, but must be brought into active and har- monious relations with his environment and his God. The educated man must feel his dependence upon society. His ideas must he social as well as personal. His moral and ethical views as well as his intellectual notions must harmonize with those of society or he will be isolated and his life thereby ren- dered futile. Education must train the individual for his place in the family, the community, the State, and the Church. J. HAROLD SMITH, A. B. English, History Education, ctymologically, means the process of leading or drawing out. We may think of knowledge as a vast storehouse from which the individual is constantly drawing. Education begins in infancy and should continue throughout life. The chief duty of the school is to provide the individual with the necessary materials, to show him how to use them effectively. to develop in him an appreciation for the best, and to motivate him to the greatest achievements of which he is capable. It is then that the individual is prepared to fill nobly and well his place in community, church, and state. SAMUEL C. SWARTZ, A. B. Bible, English We live in deeds, thoughts, and feelings. To my mind educa- tion is learning to do great deeds humbly and small deeds well: it is learning to think much, to think clearly, cleanly, and unself- ishlyg and it is learning to have and obey the deeper and nobler feelings. One who has learned to do these will come to the know- ledge of the highest and best in life. He will know that happiness is in living justly before God and honestly with his fellowmcn. ll is obvious that to achieve this end education must be basically Christian. VERNA L. ENNS, B. S. Commercial Arts, Algebra There are several phases of education that appeal to an in- dividual interested in the teaching profession. In the field of edu cation probably more than in any other it is possible, as well .ts necessary, to keep alert and interested in the progress and devel- opments which time and circumstances bring about. This gives the teacher an opportunity to continually 'enlarge his coasts' and learn as well as teach. However, to me the greatest appeal comes from the student. To notice or hear on expression of 'Oh, I seel' come from the student as facts and theories are presented, is an inspiration that makes any effort put forth in helping the young people of our church receive :Ln education a real pleasure.

In September, 1934 a large group of freshmen shyly took their places i11 chapel. It did not take long before they were quite well acquainted and a pleasant year ensued in which many new friendships were formed. On the 11th day of September, 1935, only part of that group again took their places in chapel and perhaps somewhat less shyly than the previous year. There were new members to fill the ranks but not enough to make the class as large as it had been. Almost before we ever knew who was in our class, a meeting was called in which we en- deavored to organize. The results were that we chose the new faculty member, Professor Swartz, as our class sponsor and Ralph Shetler as president. Two ot our members got cold feet during February and dropped out. Our class now unm- bers nineteen. Our first social activity was a Weiner roast at Prouty's Grove Halloween at the home of Della Gingerich. We believe there is considerable talent in our c-lass although at Our class president will probably be a famous mathematician some day. Although we have not done a great deal as yet, we hope some in Hesston College and Bible School.

In fact, it new holds the record of being the largest class in the history of I-Iesston College and Bible School. WVQ are wondering how long this will Telllillll true, At the beginning of the year of '36, the Special Bible Students, from different ports of the United States, begun to wend their way toward Hesston College. The 0ll1'0ll1llQ1ll', increased every day of the first weekg when the lost student had regisiiered it numbered eighty-five. Among our instructors, we had the privilege of having T. K. Hershey, a missionazry from South Alnerieu. He held the revival lTll00l'lllg at the College during the short fering he also gave lllillly lectures which were very beneficial to the young people. His Illllllj' experiences with the Lord and his Kingdom aided him in impurtilig knowledge to the young people. SIXTEEN Cleland Sehroek . The Lark. Yyral Miller . . . Estller Nofziger .

EIGHTEEN PEARL KAUFFMAN The Lark MY REACTION O HIESSTON COllIfGlf It is impossible for a student to go to college without having a, reaction. The reaction, however, may be favorable or unfavorable. L'Hl'lfllQl'1lQlOl'0, it is very important to the college that the reaction of tl1e student be favorable. The student is the best advertisement for the school, Slllfl if the reaction is wrong the school will be the loser. lteligiously, I appreciate very much the spiritual atmosphere of I-IesstonCollege. Students seem to feel the need of keeping their religious experience good and strong as well as up to date. They are willing to spend conside1'able time in their devotional life. This, of course, involves prayer, Bible study, meditation and communion with God. Again students of Hesston College are quite active in religious work. They conduct var- ious religious organizations and participate in them. The student who draws back from religious activities at Hesston College is the exception rather than the rule. This is due to the healthy spirit of evangelism which exists in and about the campus of Hesston College. While I appreciate the religious a,tmospbere at Hesston College, I think another phase of religion should be stressed to a greater extent. It is, of course, being stressed, but in too general a way. What am I speaking about? 1.111 thinking about the indoctrination of the peculiar prin- ciples of our faith. 'We have many things in common with other evangelical groups, but we also have some distinctive features and beliefs. One can easily the importance of implanting these doctrines in the lives of young people so they will have a solid foundation upon which to stand. How many young people of the Mennonite Church know why she believes in her various distinctive doctrines? The answer is-entirely too few. But how shall the previous suggestion be fulfilled? I suggest the following methods: C19 by historical survey, 125 by offering a course which includes the distinctive doctrines of the Mennonite t,'hurch, and C39 by special lectures given by members of the faculty of Hesston College and by others who are capable. Mennonite History should be offered every year. It should be required for graduation, especially of students graduating from the Christian XVorkers Course. To be more specific, it seems to me that all Mennonite students leaving I-Iesston 'College should have a substantial knowledge and historical grasp of the Mennonite faith. Another outstanding reaction that I have received concerns the problem of employment for worthy students. Any college that offers employment will increase her enrollment. Hesston College is trying to offer employment for as many students as possible. This should be Ellld is appreciated by many students. It seems to me, however. that some students don't appreciate this advantage as they should. Hesston College needs a better system of employment. All students who are employed should be placed on their own honor. They should he given an opportunity to make good, and if they don't make good. their position should be given to some one else. There are many Worthy students. throughout the church, who will make good it given an opportunity. Only worthy students should be helped. Regardless of the cost, Hesston College must have a better system of employment. One thing more should be mentioned. Ir. concerns the members of the faculty. Perhaps, the constituency doesn't appreciate thei1' sacrifice and service as they should. Each one of them could be drawing a larger salary, but they have a genuine missionary spirit. By being satisfied with a small salary they are making llesston College possible, and from Hesston College will come young men and women who will serve the church both at home and in foreign countries. As a student I have now spent four years at Ilesston College, and I can say that. 111 general. my reaction has bee11 very favorable. In fact. I know of no better place for a young man or woman to secure an education. GIDEON YODER NINETEEN The Lark ampus if Christian Workers Band He sure 111111 do11't miss Iiillltl this l110l'l1l1lQ.

NAOMI YODER Religious life Students this year have sl1ow11 fl inarked degree of consecration. At the very beginning many inanifested their desire to be of definite service for their Master. The fellowship with o11e another has led niany to a deeper f1D1J1'0Clf1.fl0l1 of their Creator. Althongrh some have a definite call others feel that they are 11 definite part of God's ll12lCl1lllOl'y 311111. know that 111017 are doing His will. This fact C0llfl'lll1Itt'S 21 hetter feeling 1'll1lOllgf the Sflld0l11,rj. We realize God's l1a11d in Olll' activities and as fl student body praise Olllf Maker for our opportunities. TILLMAN WEAVER Social life ' ' Though social life does not rank first, it is essential for all-aronnd development. IVe fl1'111ly helieve that i'A1l work 11nd no play makes Jack 11 dull hey. Often after 21 day of studying we are glad to lay aside our hooks and cares, and enjoy the evening in fellowship with others- 21 picnic i11 the grove, or perhaps just 21 hike around the block. OIllSl'f1l1tlll1g i11 our social life is Olll' 115soei11tio11 with Cll1'lS1'l2'll1 young' people. As we mingle with others who are 11Dl1Oltll11g the same high id01llS that W0 112lV6', We are 11121110 to feel that, after all, these ideals are worth striving for. LYDIA DRIVER Our faculty To ns as students 0111' faculty nieinbers not o111y mean the eight persons on the Dl2'1ff01'11l during: chapel or teachers behind desks, bnt they sem-111 to ns as personal friends.

They take 11 personal interest i11 our individu11l lives for they want us to he il blessing to those whoin we will contact in life. This is why we feel that o11r f11c11lty is superior to lilltlll of the average school. STELLA HOSTETIIER Work Can I get work to earn part of lllj' school expense? Yes, if you need,work a11d are willing to work you can get it. Physical work along with o11r school Work gives us a better diet. Most students enjoy their work.

A. are largely religious, it is one of the most impor- tant organizations of I-Iesston College. All students who are members of good staiitling in any evangelical church are eligible for membership in this organization. Students coming to Hesston who are not Christians, at once find the Y. P. C. A. taking an active interest in them. Every pos- sible effort is made to win them to Christ, which makes them eligible for inembersliip in t.he or- ganization. Furthermore. the Y. P. C. A. is interested in the spiritual life of all the students. It recognizes that there must he a constant growth of Christian life and character. If progress is not evident, one's experience will soon become that of a mere nominal C111'lSi'l2'lll. Because of the mental strain incidental to student life, there is a special tendency for students to neglect their devotional and spiritual life. Thus a definite effort is made to assist them ill meeting this prob- lem. The Y. P. C. A. fosters a vigorous devotional life and provides adequate opportunities for Christian service. A fifteen-ininute period has been set aside for private morning devotion. Ill the evening the men and women meet separately for a short devotional period. On Thursday evening the reg- ular weekly devotional meeting is conducted in the chapel hall. In addition to these students re- ceive mueh help from the Saturday evening prayer meetings held in the dining hall. Certainly the devotional spirit of the eanlpus is conducive to the development of 'C'1l1'lSiiRlll character. Not: all the students can partieipate in definite, active service, but many of them receive help in this manner. Services are conducted at the jail in Newton, the Bethel Hospital, and wherever opportunity is presented. Several times this year services were conducted ill a negro home in Newton. This type of work is carried 011 by the EXtG11Si011 C0111Illifl00 ef U10 Y- P- C- A- The Y. 1'. C. A. is responsible for a fall and inid-year mixer. These mixers enable the students to get acquainted early during the term, and also provide a wholesome. Christian social hour. An annual drive is sponsored during the Special Bible Term. This year slightly over five hundred dollars were raised. Various needy causes are being helped. Besides this two stu- dents xvill be sent to the Ozarks this summer to visit as many homes as possible, distributing literature as they go.

U5 C Music from the earliest times has occupied an important place in the lives of men. and its importance in recent times seems to be iiicreusing ratlier than diminishing. Witness, for example the setting apart of one week each year in this country as National Music Week. The eisteddfod, a XVelsh Musical contest, has become an established institution in the high schools of Welsh com- munities, and its counterparts are spreading to many other communities. The Bible emphasizes the importance of singing and our Church has always recognized its value in our church service. Vocal music at Hesston College has fl recognized place in the curriculum and it consti- tutes the most lll1DOI'f2lllf of our extra-curricular activities. Our class instruction endeavors to clearly present to the pupil the fulldamentals of music and to furnish him with information that will be helpful in future study. The chiet? aim of the chorus work is to produce and develop in the student an appreciation of the best types of music and to guide him in its interpretation. Everybody at Hesston has a C1l2l11C0 to develop his musical talent. To make this possible a number of organizations have been formed. The School Chorus is an organization composed of all Students entered in the Music classes and as many others as wish to join the group. For the last two years the cantaitu Bethlehem has been rendered at the conclusion of the first sem- ester. The chorus every year devotes its time during the second semester to The Holy City, which is' rende1'ed during C0lIllllOllC01IllllliI XVeek with the help of any former students who desire to take part. The Men's and Ladies' Choruses are composed of picked voices. These groups work long and faithfully in preparation for the prograins which are given locally and at various places out- side the immediate eonnnunity during the X0i1l'. These choruses make at very definite contribu- tion to the interests of the school. They are also a very effective means of spreading the gospel. This year we are fortunate in having :1 001111121111 tively large number of experienced singers and their Work has been commendable. Duc to the unusually large number of good ladies' voices this year, two choruses were organized from them: the Ladies' Chorus and the Treble f'lcf Chorus. The former group went o11 u tour this spring and the two choruses combined ill the rendition of a program on May 1. The A Cappella Chorus is a select group composed of the best voices in the school and surrounding comnuuiity. The 11l0l'l' difficult works of recognized masters are studied by this group and a program is given during Connnenceinent. J. HAROLD SMITH TWENTY-FOUR The Lcwrk 'j'l-lIli.D ROXV: Troyor, P.

MABEL HERSIIBERGER TXVENTY-SEVEN The Lcozrk Audubon Society Birds add so niueh to the beauty ot our surroundings that it is hard to imagine anyone being so irresponsive as llllt10t'Rl1'0flll'l'llUlll. Picture a bright May morning being shrouded in silence be- cause there were no birds Singing. Even a rainy day must have the Robin's whimper in the drizzle or it doesn't seem right. On those pretty mornings when the birds are at their best one canit help but catch some of their freedom and happiness. and feel that t'One can not but be gay in that jot-und company and There is joy divine ill that song of thine. Yes, they are living ex- emplary lives in several ways. Where is there a more peaceful and contented creature? A small bi1'd asks for only a small nest says one of the sages. Look to the Penquiiis for real loyalty and fidelity. 1t's too bad that they are not native in Ainerical At some time or other you have found a nest and broken eggs beneath a tree after a storm. You will soon see the owners of this home busy rearing the second brood. It takes courage to do soinc-thing like that. These are just a few of the interesting things that are going on for us to see. Should you be interested in drama go out to the lawn and see the scenes there. You will find both comedy and tragedy. Surely only a few people are so unsentimeutal that they don't love birds. To appreciate anything whether it is frogs. flowers. poems. or anything else we must study them. Just so it is with birds. This is the pu1'pose of the Audubon society. Some morn- ing you will hear a student say, Aren't the birds grand this morning? while another will exclaim, Hear that. yellow :iYtl1'blC1',,, and 'tThere, that's the Baltimore oriole! They have just come. Other students often say that they can tell the Audubons by the way they walk-always on the lookout for birds. Because they find bird-study so fascinating they do some other peculiar things, too, such as going on early morning hikes and running wildly to a window whenever they happen to see something. It is a real thrill to them to see a new species or to be the first to see the spring migrant. There is such an abundance of material to study that the work of this society has little C1ltlllCC to become monotonous. If you are afraid to identify a bird unless it a Robin or an English Sparrow, you will want to joi11 the Audubons. Not only for the sake of being able to speak intelligently on the sub- ject 'and so you can appreciate them more but also for the good times that you will have while a member zllld afterwards from bird study.

SARA HUTCHINSON TWENTY-EIGHT The Lark l3l2ACTlCAl EDUCATIDN As time glides onward, in nearly every phase ol' life in the civilized world, old ideas and notions are displaced by new theories and experiments. The system of education is no exception. The educational leaders of several centuries ago would turn over in their graves if they could see how their impractical respect for pure learning and their 1'CYGl'0l1CQ for contemplation has no place ill today's educational curriculuni, especially of practical America. To us education and profession are inseparable and learning and earning are synonymous. No-Yong Park says that the Americans think of education only in terms of their stomach or their purse. Time is money and to learn something that has HQ practical significance is a waste of time and money. I am not defending this commericalized form of education as the ideal, but, since we have accepted it as a lnatter of fact, 1et's see how we can improve it. A number of our leading colleges have seen a need and have launched out in a trelnendous educatonal experimentation known as co-operative education. Writing on this subject in the book Topics for Freslnnen XVriting', published by Henry Holt and company of New York, Carl Holli- day in his article Revolution On the Campus says, The idea is simply tl1is: Let the student study the theory ot the subject a certain muuber of weeks in the class room, and then wo1'k out the theory in actual practice-for wages-in a factory or officef' The usual schedule is two weeks in and two weeks out. but some colleges extend the shop or office time to as much as six weeks. This follows the ideal ot learning Dy doing. Head knowledge is of very little use unless we can make it practical in some phase of our activity. The method of measuring a pei-son's ability to graduate by counting his hours in class, his credits, etc.. is now receiving considerable attention. Why require a student to attend class at all if he can do better through his own research and analysis? One of our leading colleges says the student should be allowed to travel at his own rate of speed. Regardless of the time the student has spent i11 school, he may graduate as soon as he can pass the final examinations. It is possible for him to finish in a year orhe may never get flll'Ull,L'1l. It all depenids on his ability! to learn. All this is fine for the larger schools, but what of the smaller ones? About the only thing they can do is to wait until the system has been generally accepted, the11 tall in line. If this latter method could he combined with the co-operative education method, I be- lieve we would have a system that would be ideal for our time and needs. The student's Success would depend largrely on his initiative. and upon his graduation. The business world would be glad to -.velcome him as a master of his profession. both tln-oretically and practically. He would grail- nate from college because he had made good and not because he had served his term. YV ILB ICR-T NAFZIG E R TVVENTY-NINE The Lark 'lhlotics Baseball One of the major sports of the school is baseball. When the school first opened, there were no facilities for many of the sports but there was plenty of room to play baseball an-d it has been popular ever since. The great deal of interest put in baseball is mostly due to the illlllllill three-ganie Alulnni- Varsity series during eoninieilcelneut. I11 by-gene years there have been some very good gzunefs i11 which a good llfilllll of baseball has been played. There is some real stiff competition. Our baseball team this year has con- siderable more niaterial to draw from than teams have had in the last few years. Play- ing was started almost as soon as school opened i11 the fall. Two teams, the Cubs and the Tigers, were selected and a miniature World Series was soon being fought. Be' cause of had weather only five games were played. The Tigers won the series by cap- turing three of the games. The baseball fans are now lookng forward to the series with the alnnnli. The players intend to at least make things interesting for them. Basketball Basketball attracts more interest than any other sport in the school. This year there were five boys' basketball teams 2ll1-ll they 1f:e1'e quite evenly matched. A round robin tournanlent was played off Zlllll the final standings were as follows: Gaines Gaines Per- Teains VVon Lost eent age College G 2 .750 Seniors G 2 .750 Juniors 5 3 .625 l'lUDlllll1l0l'PS S 5 -375 Freshmen 0 S .0100 The Lark The last few years the Special Bible TCFIII has had tl strong basketball teani.

The l1askctl1all season was very successful. There was plenty of real competition. The players showed fine SDO1'l'S11l2lllSlllD and there has been a great deal of in1p1'eve1nent made ill the tcain work. Track Despite the fact that little i11tc-rest ordinarily shown in track at Hesston, a very suc- cessful track 111111 field ineet was l1eld 011 May 4. The track meet gave 21 chance for the classes that had not made much, showing i11 baskctlmall to win some llOll01' Zlllll they proceeded to do that very thing: The Sophoniores won the nieet with a total of -16 points with the Freslnnen class close behind with 4215 points.

THIRT Y-ONE The Lccrli: fElIX THE FAINT HIEAIQTED History Of An lnferiority Complex A number of years ago in an Eastern city young Felix, the Faint-hearted, was ushered into this world. The event was such a shock to his young mind that he was speechless for the space of a whole year. In this he began his career of bumps that have made him faint-hearted and lacking in the initiative and ambition that cliaracterizes most young people of today. At the tender age of one and a half years, young Felix made, in his estimation, a great find. He immediately proceeded to investigate the shiny object and to adapt it to serve as a teething ring. It required a doctor's greatest skill to extract that shiny open safety pin from the depths of Felix's throat and to again set him on the road to health. Felix soon outgrew the had effects of the preceeding episode and was growing into a sturdy youth of three when he visited his grandpa's farm. Now grandpa raised sheep and had some motherless lambs that were fed from a bottle. One day after he had fed a lamb he gave the hottle to Felix to hold. When he reached for the bottle, grandpa discovered that the bottle was empty and on Fclix's face was a sheepish look. Felix still retains his fondness for milk. The repetition during his childhood of this incident made him self-conscious. He disliked having people laugh at his mistakes. It tended to make him withdraw into himself and remain out of sight as also did the embarrassing duty of being presented to strangers, and having them peer at him as at a museum specimen, and remark. He's get his mother's features, but his nose is his father's. He could see no reason why such things could be of interest to people. Felix's parents soon moved on a farm in a distant, irrigated country. It was in this country that Felix grew up, but not without a few incidents that made an impression on him. He dis- tinctly recalls the afternoon when, with a friend he slipped down to the willow-edged canal and went swimming hplumb naked. In the midst of the play and water splashing, he glanced up into the stern features of a canal rider firrigation company officialj. It is needless to say that hereafter he always had an uneasy feeling when in water, unless he had permission. Another incident that taught him to respect the rights of others, occurred while he was in the lower grades. He with a. number of other School boys was apprelfended while plucking fruit from an orchard, and was threatened to be turned over to the civil authorities. Felix still nourishes a sincere respect for orchards, watermelon patches, and the like. Seine of these' incidents and the fact that he was reared in a comparatively isolated community had an influence over him. He has a variety of moods which he cannot umlerstand. He has difficulty in adjusting himself to people. lle enjoys the companionship of two or three friends, but groups are oppressive to him, and he seeks to withdraw from them into himself. He desires to leave behind him this inferiority complex and to become a normal person. ROBERT REIST TI-IIRTY-TWO 10. 11. 12 .,., 2-1 :L 9 10 15. .yy ,S 30. .51 . 1. 3. G. il. IT. 26. 28. 15. 23. 1.5.

The Lark SHOULD THE COlllfGIi GIVE VDCATIDNALTIQAININGT A great majority of the present day youths enter college without giving any thought to the feasibility of studying the subjects which they have chosen. lf the student wants to make any definite progress iu later life, he must early make a decision as to the vocation wl1icl1 he will follow. It is, indeed, a regrettable fact that many students graduate from college without the slightest idea as to what their life work is going to be. After the youth discovers his natural abilities and develops an interest toward a special field of work or occupation, he should make a thorough study of the situation a11d enlist the services of a reliable authority in order that he may determine whether it is advisable for llilll lo prepare himself for the work whch he is inter- ested ln. It is right and well that parents have the privilege of sending their children to college where they may become better fitted for life, but on the other hand, parents often do not under- stand the desires and abilities of their children, and consequently, make the mistake of providing them with an education which will benefit them little in the special work they may be intereste-'l in. Achievement tests will not always reveal whether a person is adapted to a certain subject or not. It is almost altogether useless to prepare students for vocations they ,will probablyinever engage in. It is impractical. Why educate the youth in a subject ill which he shows no interest? Are we so formal in our modern educational system that each person must study many minor uninteresting subjects in order that he may graduate? lt has been said that doing comes not from interest, butlinterest comes from doing. If the youIih's interests and abilities are ll0t academic and lie completely- be- yond college boundaries, the college may do him little good, and may evthi do harm. ' It should be the duty of the college to lay the foundation for the special training which the individual 1nay later acquire. It is a known fact that the college is a means of developing and enriching the interests of its students in mslny ways. The place of vocational training is out- side ot the college and in a training school. We have many of these training schools where the manually-minded may become trained. It is the function of the training school to' specialize in the training of students in one or more subjects. In this manner students may become thorough- ly prepared for the situations which they will probably meet as they 1,1-4190041 in their Wmltiullh According to Mussolini, the youth of Italy shall be trained so that in his country there shall be a place for every person and every person shall be in that place. Instead of having so many colleges which graduate students who possess only a diploma, we should have more training schools which graduate a seemingly small number of trained youths who are prepared to engage i11 the vocation for wl1icl1 they have been trained, If, however. the youth discovers that be has 111ade a mistake, and is 11ot fitted for the vocation which he has chosen, he may then return lo college for further study.
