-'-+3 V Il 4' v a ft Boys' Dorm Club 'PHE DORM CLUB is one of the most beneficial as well as the oldest organization on the campus. At the beginning of the year election of officers was held, and Leonard Carlson was elected president, Norman Collins vice-president, and Vernon Price sec- retary. At the beginning of the second semester election was again held, and Leonard Carlson was re-elected president, Bob Della Valle vice-president, and Allen Branton secretary. George Ruiz was chosen as news reporter. The membership of this club consists of all the boys who live in the Dormitory. At the meetings which are held whenever necessary, the boys thresh out their problems in a true parliamentary way, and in case no agreement can be made lNIr. Edwards, who has been our much respected adviser for the past year, acts as an arbi- tratorg and his words of wisdom have always proved good. There is a great rivalry between the Dorm and the outside fellows, this year a touch football game was played which by unlucky breaks, the Dorm lost. Every year there are different get-together parties between the girls' and boys' Dorms where fine friendship and much .spirit is created. In this club there are mem- bers from various parts of the United States, from Mexico, Japan, and Europe. For the recreation of the boys they have secured games that have created a great deal of interest. These games are obtained through the Dorm Club dues. lVe have been very fortunate in having llr. Edwards as our adviser this year. He has been most faithful in fulfilling his duties and has been one among us. -G. Ruiz. 1,tlfjl' Fifly

off V II 4' 4' cz Ashcraff R evival Band HPRAYER IS the most potential thing in the world. lt is not that prayer is anything, but rather that God is everything. For prayer lays hold on Ciod, or more accurately, I?0Fmits God to lay hold on man, so that it brings God into human affairs as the ln- flnite One. And when the Almighty is in the midst of things He proves Himself to he the invincible, all-conquering God. So then the man who prays is the most po- tential man in the world. YVhat is true of the praying man is true of the praying student. There is such Fl group of students in our school, who feel this thing about prayer. Quietly they Mather every noon, and under the efficient leadership of Lawrence Green, pray over the problems of our school. This group call themselves the Ashcraft Revival Band. The name is in mem- ory of the Ashcrafts, who are laboring in the Lord's work in China. Mz'ssz'1111ar'y Society CLOSELY CONNECTED with the prayer life of the students is the interest in the mis- sion work. This has found expression in our llissionary Society. The regular time of meeting is the last Tuesday of each month. At one meeting of interest we were shown some of the pictures taken by John VVesley Robinson, of the Bethel hlethodist Church. He took these pictures while on a recent trip around the world. The world is a better place to live in because of the efforts of noble servants of God who have gone out to carry the good news to all the world. VVe are glad that our beloved school makes a place in its program for this particular phase of Christian work and effort. -RI. IVIINKEL. Page Forly-ning

The prospect, however, is not altogether alluring. VVhen contemplating entering such an institution, one cannot help but feel a little averse to giving up a life of freedom and going into voluntary confinement. At last the girl makes up her mind to try it, in spite of all discouraging difficult- ies. She arrives with many misgivings and apprehensions and takes up her new abode. The first thing she has to get accustomed to is the tyranny of the bells. She rises by a bell, attends classes by a bell, she goes to her meals by a bell and is supposed to go to sleep by a bell. As time passes, she gets over this strange feeling and finds that all she imagined is not true. Everyone is human like herself. The dean of women is no nightmare. The food is of the best quality, and many times of the greatest quantity. Of course, she has a little touch of homesickness which soon leaves her. She is then able to enter into the life of the school. -H. VVOI.C0'I I'. Page Fifi-1'-11110
