Manchester College - Aurora Yearbook (North Manchester, IN)

Text from Pages 1 - 208 of the 1922 volume:

FOREWORD As the sand slowly trickles thru the hour glass of time, there is horn to us the realization of new oppor- tunities for life ' s best. Our vision is clear and impel- ling and we go forward with enthusiasm and are made happy by each new revelation and possession. But, when much of our enthusiasm has been spent and we are no longer engrossed in life ' s activities, may some joy and pleasant recolledions be ours as we re- view again the old time history of our college days. If, in the great meditation of life ' s leisure time, such joy and happiness may come to us in the recalling of familiar bye-gones, this volume shall not have been in vain, although new efforts, more elaborate and levent- fid shall succeed it in the future years and progress of our Alma Mater. St DEDICATION It Wc, the classes of ' 22 and ' 23 of Manchester College, ded- icate this Aurora to the ideal of Peace. Civilization is trying to emerge from the darkness of anger and hate; the u ' orld still feels some of the hot breath of the recent conflict; disease, famine, small wars, and strifes have been stalk- ing with unrelenting vigor in the fearful aftermath of the world war. All mankind, war lueary and deathly-sick of war, is grop- ing anxiously for a new epoch of international relationships. A gospel of understanding, a release from the toils of war, a promotion of enduring friendships among all nations, a realiza- tion of the dream of tvorld brotherhood have been signally in- itiated by the Peace of Versailles, the League of Nations, and the Disarvnament Conference. Though international relationships seem yet in the frontier stages, may international concord be further developed; though old-method diplomacy seem ineradicable, may the diplomacy of the Qolden Rule be realized; though racial jealousies and selfishness befog and complicate, may there be moidded an unexampled con- scious desire and e xpression of civilization against warfare. May ii ' e all gird up our minds with the ideals of the Prince of Peace, and with resolute optimism help usher in the era of world federation.

C. «.) 1 am the pirii of M. C. From my earliest in- fancy I have been a dreamer, not of the impossible, but of the practical. M:y sacrifice has not been useless, for today hundreds of young men and women are con- tinually du elli)ig under my fosteringcare and developing into steady and sturdy youths. They seem to share my ambitions and to partake of my spirit of service, of loyalty, and of truth. If I could not influence these lives to desire puiity of heart, noble ideals and service to their Qod and fellowmen, I should have no purpose in my existence. I must continue to inspire the lives of all those present at M. C. if the best is to thrive. May I always be found carrying the torch that lights M. C. forward.

In order to serve best the truth-seeking individuals who come under my instruction, it has been necessary that I acquire the greatest degree of efficiency. I love to serve with pa- tience, and I find delight in leading the earnest youth into fields of greater usefullness. My task is not an easy one, but it is pleasant, for I watch with interest the unfolding and development of life and the deeper self. 1 must always be willing to sacrifice for the good of my cause and must be an example of fitness in my profession. Indolence and sham must be knoivn as a crime against the individual and society. Honest effort and sincerity must he the basis of all success in life and its attainments. it L mOULTX. OTHO WINGER, A.M., L.L.D. President of Manchester College Philosophy and Ethics V. F. SCHWALM, A.M. Dean and Registrar Histoi ' y and Political Science L. D. IKENBERRY, A.M., L.L.D. Vice-President and Treasurer Qeology and Astroriomy The Big Three at M, C, HREE of the most necessary factors of progress are Enthusiasm, Convic- tion, and Deliberation. These properly united and combined form a trio of virtues of no small weight. Men, institutions, and nations have pleaded suppliantly for these virtues but in vain. The Fates seem to possess these balances. These gifts or attributes are not accidental or random but are possible only through an indefinite period of time, b) ' determined and constant effort. They can neither be purchased or stolen or the wealthy and robber would be possessors i)ut their appearance comes as a reward to the owner for honest deligence. Blessed and progressive is the man or group of men who have advantage of these endowments and can apply them to the re- tarding problems of life. Manchester College has made unprecedented progress during the last few years. She has had these attributes marvelously blended in her character. She has grown from a meagre, un- noticed, undercredited school of under two hundred to a flourishing, credited, scholarly institu- tion of more than one-half thousand resident students. Her educational hegemony is still in the embryo witli infinite possibilities. Was this by chance? Was it an unconscious evolution? If so, why was her growth balanced and symmetrical? The survival of the fittest deals largely with physique, while she has maintained an equal progress of physique, morality, religion and scholarship. Such progress is inexplicable on the material or accidental plane. It is obvious that there has been a guiding and directing force and intelligence that led on and on, over the rough passes and through the briery brambles. There have been efficient gubernatorial pilots and alert helmsmen at the wheel successfully steering her through the rapids, by the whirlpools, safely into the harbor of prominence. It is not difficult to determine who represents this triarchy of virtues, these exponents of progress, these liege stewards of culture, among the personnel of Manchester College. A. limited insight into the lives and characters of President Winger, Dean Schwalm and Professor Ikenberry indicate the adaptability of the above respective category of virtues and suggests the great possi- bilities of their combined energies. Each one of these men are superior to their particular characterization but these seem to predominate. A more thorough observance of the intricacies of their personalities as revealed through their habits and conduct concludes for us immediately how it has been possible for Manchester College to come through so great! a tribulation wearing the victor ' s crown. President Winger allegoricallj ' representing enthusiasm has been the dominant factor in the forward movement of M. C. His increasingly energetic and commanding personality seasoned with good quick judgment and a jolly good humor, has been the enlivening cheer during severe reverses and the leading satellite of optimism under the unlined cloud of disappointment. Enthusi- asm to be most effective must be seasoned and colored by positive conviction and constant delibera- tion. This is made possible through the outstanding personalities of Dean Schwalm and Professor Ikenberry. Dean Schwalm impresses one as a sincere comrade, devoted to high ideals, whose magnani- mous magnetism and conscientious convictions label him as a wortliy friend to all, but a terror to the insincere. Last but not least our demure, quiet, reserved, thoughtful, yet jolly business man is worthy of a place in il. C. ' s honor roll. Our usually sober treasurer is but deliberative and self conscious for back of his thoughtful countenance is a pleasant, sunny disposition prominent on enrollment day. He has successfully grappled with serious financial puzzles and was usually able to subtract a large liability from a small asset and still obtain a balance. Certainly no greater monument or reward to the name and achievement of truly great men could be, than to realize that they had no small part in the development of an institution like jNIanchester College or the satisfaction of knowing that there is a great army of yoimg men and women daily pursuing their tasks of love and sacrifice whose lives they have touched and moulded for usefulness. Eternity alone will detennine what the influence of these men has wrought on the lives and characters of those who have sat at their feet and felt the emanations of their true personalities. In the lives of some men their actions speak so loud we cannot hear their voices. Not so with these ; when we kno ' them we must hear them speak. They are inspired voices speaking to us out of pure hearts desiring and praying that the health, happiness, and an upright life may be ours ever to enjoy. May our reverence and respect for these great leaders of our alma mater never wane but ever grow and blossom, at the same time adopt their virtues and the emanations of their personali- ties as vital parts of our lives. !May she ever grow and prosper under their hegemony to her merited place among ;he institutions of the world. 21 A MELLOWDRAMA In One Act Time — 6 o ' clock on a Tuesday evening in winter. Place — Room 107 Administration Bldg. Characters — Members of faculty. ( When curtain rises six members of Faculty are seen ) . Pres. Winger (Bustling in) : Faculty meeting will come to order. The secretary will call the roll. (Pauses. No sound) Well, since the secretary isn ' t here, we ' ll dispense with roll-call. (Prof. Kintner enters) Oh, here he is now. We were just waiting for you Prof. Kintner. Prof. Kintner: I am sorry to be late, but I was unavoidably detained. (Business of calling roll during which time three or four of faculty members enter ) . Pres. Winger: (Yawning) Well, this is a business meeting, I understand. Who has anything to present? (Two more members enter). Dean Schwalm : (Rising) Professor, I have a little matter to present at this time The committee appointed last week to study the grading system has a recommendation to make : We suggest the elimination of the plus signs : That will make an A stand for 98 and up ; A— for 95 ; B, 93 ; B— , 90 ; C, 88 ; C— , 85 ; D, 83 ; D— , 80 ; E, 78 ; E— , 75 ; and F below 75. Prof. Peters also has a system of average percentages worked out, which he will present at this time. (Sits down) Prof. Pet ers (Rising and going to board) : I have here on the board the average grades of over twenty-five colleges and universities and from these results I have plotted this curve which shows the percentage of students who receive A ' s, B ' s, etc. Now it has been found that from 2 to 10% out of every hundred students are A students, from 14 to 18% are B ' s, from 40 to 60% are C ' s, from 14 to 18% are D ' s, from 2 to 10% are E studen s and 2% are flunkers. These statistics ought, I believe, to be of help to us in making out our grades. (Is seated.) Prof. Dotterer: Mr. President, I move you that these recommendations be accepted. Voice in Rear: Second the motion. Pres. Winger: All those in favor of the motion signify by saying aye. (Three or four say aye — rest silent). The secretary will record the recommendations. . ny other business? (Enter Mr. and Mrs. Wampler). Prof. Reber: I might say, too, that I am sending for some new magazines for the library, and if any of the faculty want to order some, I ' ll be glad to send for them at this time. Prof. Schutz (Rising) : Mr. President, may I be excused? I have to meet the debaters at seven. (He leaves). Miss Johnson: (Rising) Mr. President, I don ' t believe that we have enough public athletic events scheduled. For my part, I find that attending the games is the most enjoyable tiling I do, and I believe that we really ought to have one basketball game here each week. I believe we ought to have more things over which we can be enthusiastic. We are young only as long as we have enthusiasm. I don ' t believe I ' m the only one who feels this way. Miss Vose and Miss Lehman, (turns) well, I see they are not here tonight, but I ' m sure they will support me. Miss Knicker (in a loud whisper) : I think they ' ve gone skating tonight. Prof. Wampler; (Rising) Mr. President, may I be excused? I have Choral Society at seven o ' clock. (He leaves). Prof. . ' . R. Eikenberry: (Rising) Mr. President, I wanted to mention something about the games, too. Last year the faculty decided to limit the number of games to twelve, if I remember correctly. We were rather discouraged over athletics at the lime, and I guess we thought that was often enough to be beaten. This year it is different. I ' d like to know if the Faculty will consider changing that riding — We can get plenty of games. Pres. Winger: What ' s the opinion of the Faculty on this matter? Prof. Schwalm: (Rising) We don ' t want to let the sideshows at Manchester get away with the main show. However, I ' ve been looking into tlie matter and I find that most colleges have at least 18 games scheduled. I, therefore, move you that we allow the committee to schedule four more games. Cries of: Second the motion, Pres. Winger: I guess we ' ll find time to attend all these games. Prof. Randolph : I have a few students ho are not carrying their work very successfully. (Several nod heads). Pres. Winger: I ' d suggest that the names of such students be turned over to tlie Dean. We ' ll let him settle these cases. We have already ovemjn our time. I expect our Trustees will be here for our meeting next week. If there is no other business the meeting is adjourned. (Editor ' s note: The above scene was described to a Senior bv an historical mouse). The Spirit of the College Freshman ' - I am the Spirit of the College Freshman. Only a short while ago, 1 started on a long journey to the coveted land of Knowledge. The way, this far, has been pleasantly strewn with flou ' ers ivhich have helped to cover the roughness of the grade. Yes, it has been steady climbing, with the exception of a few descents that usually follow the exam periods. However, I am happy iyi my ivork and make the most of everything and everybody. I may seem green but that is a sign of life and growth. The University of Hard Knocks is good for one; at least I find that many have experi- enced its educatio7i. In the days that have flown 1 have achieved a measure of success and have reached the first milestone on my way.

It seems hut a short time since 1 passed my first milestone on my way to the land of Knowledge. Already, the second milestone of my voyage is at hand. I am anxious to move on. You have noticed my ambitions which have encouraged me in all my endeavors. I am teeming with strength and vitality. I have encountered no undertaking too great for me. M}! love for ad- ventures and discoveries, for lively sports and clean fun is a prominent feature. You will find me enthusiastic in your literary programs, in your athletics, and in the promotion of good will and loyalty to M. C. I see in the dim distance, the outline of the land of Knoivledge, and 1 must hasten on my ivay. SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS President Granville G. Brooks Vice-President Emerson W.

It is my desire to build ivithin my life a sure defeyise of knoivledge and truth. Ere long 1 shall reach the land of Knou ' ledge toward which 1 have been travelling.

JUNIOR FOX With the return of September in 1921 there also returned to tlie college campus that group of bonny lads and lassies that M. C. for the two years previous had found indispensable to her welfare, culture and general pursuit of happiness. We came back full of energy and enthusiasm and the determination to make this, our Junior year, the best yet; for we had outgrown beautifully the verdure of the Frosh , successfully squelched the outbursts of conceit that attend the Sophomores and had neither the fearful dignity to maintain nor the breath-taking monopoly- of-leaming atmosphere of the Seniors, to create. But we were bravely prepared to devote otir time to mere innocent school work — a grind and maelstrom from which we have emerged with a fixed and sincere determination to take the last big step up the ladder to the Completion of Our Four Years in College . Since our Success Came in Cans way back in our days as budding Freshmen, we liave always kept an interested, industrious finger in the College pie. For instance we help to run the bookstore, help keep the books in the Treasurer ' s office, assist the Librarian in the evening ' s strenuous study period, besides being quite noticeably and substantially represented on the faculty of the Business Department. Then, too, we offered Our M. C tlie talent and artistic ability of a Junior co-ed to direct embryo artists along the oily, chalky way in the capacity of Art teaclier. So, of course when M. C. needed a real Basket Ball coach she naturally turned to the Junior Class for it, and we were proud to share our Class President. Stauffer has admirably proved that he can coach, too, but he has needed several Junior men on his squad for big work. When it came to literary lighting the Seniors called on die Juniors to aid them. Previous to this year tlie Seniors have managed to compile a year book commonly known as tlie Aurora . This was of course accomplished at the sacrifice of much time, worry, nervous wreckage and others. But this year, due, let us say to the unusual character and ability of the Juniors rather than to deficiency in the Senior Class, they were incapable of doing Manchester full Justice in. a year book without our co-operation and co-sufferation . So we gladly gave of our energy and ideas and have been invaluable to our Senior Colleagues. Besides tliese more delicate accomplishments w ' e can (if sufficiently urged and so requested by the President and the Dean) manage to have a good time. Hallowe ' en the Seniors saw themselves as others see them, thru the kindness of the Juniors in giving a take-oft of a Senior Meeting. This w as indeed expressing our tiiie spirit in a mild, respectful manner altho we hope in time to be able to do more for our soon-to-be-departed ones. The Junior Hard Times Party was one of the times when we sure showed ' em. O, we were a disreputable looking lot and we roasted our faces simultaneously Avith the beefsteak and marslimallows but we came back with a contented peaceful feeling following the hard episodes of our frolic. Then when real winter came we adopted the role of Eskimos and taking mito ourselves sleds, sweaters, blankets and other commodities essential to Eskimo-ing we went out to the country home of one of our Junior men and put in a big evening. Owing to blow-outs, punctured tires et cetera the Juniors were forced to ignore the ten o ' clock rule, much to our chagrin (??!!) and the matron ' s discomfiture. But such affairs usually blow over and we soon slipped back into the prosaic order of things. And as the year draws to an end we look back over the three happy years we have spent together at M. C. with a wistful sigh that it is all so nearly over — and then on to our Senior year that is ahead of us, which we hope to make just as profitable, just as happy, just as crowded with sweet memories. M The Spirit of the College Senior I, the Spirit of the College Senior, am the personi- fication of example, ciiticism and dignity. I admire the one who has perseverance enough to succeed in the face of obstacles. M} ' aim is service to my Qod and fellowmen. My loyalty to M. C. shall never cease, hut shall continue to grow as 1 better realize my debt to her. I have not obliterated life and fun from my character, but have attained a greater degree of en- durance and efficiency. IsAy last milestone is reached. The field before me is wide and there are many vacancies to be filled. I should not be true to myself or my Alma Mater if my life ' s growth ceased here. I am only now entering upon the fields of service, to which my journey has brought me. I must expend my life if I would expand it. In all my efforts to aid my felloivs may I never forget the ideals of my College Days and at every opportunity wave high the banner of the Black and Qold. CLASS OFFICERS President Forbes H.

Autobiography of the Class of ' 22 Early in September, 1918, Manchester College welcomed into her family another child. In the family there were alread} ' three older children, who were named, begin- ning with the oldest, Class of ' 19, Class of ' 20, and Class of ' 21. Naturally the new arrival was christened Class of ' 22, which same am I. The first days of my existence in my new home were spent as most infants spend that period of their lives, in being noisily homesick. I think I may be forgiven, for everything was strange to me, and I felt very small and weak and lonely. My brothers and sisters tried to make me acquainted with my surroundings, and it was not long before I made myself quite at home. A strange thing about our family is that each member is very composite. I myself was made up of fifty-seven different parts. When I became somewhat inured to the ways of our household I found that it was the custom of each member of the family to select some of its number as a governing bod ' . So I called my parts together and they chose several of the most capable of themselves to act as officers of the Class of ' 22. These have changed during my lifetime, but they have always been earnest workers for the Blue and White — my colors. You have probabl) ' heard of them. When but a few days old I had to start to school, and to a child of my age school is school the world over, so the less said the better. During that winter three notable things happened. First, all of our family had the flu. Second, Nov. Ill had 67 _ my first experience with an Armistice Day; because of that event I have some parts today that I might not have had. Third, I showed that I was like most small iDoys. I was fond of mischief and I wanted to show my brothers and sisters that I was ' ■somebody . If you look closely, you can see that the trees on the campus still bear traces of the blue and white paint that I put on so people would think about me when they saw it. Of course Father Winger punished me well for it, for it was Commence- ment time and there were lots of visitors at our house. My second year found my big sister ' 19 out in the world, but a little sister, Class of ' 23, came to take her place. Wasn ' t I proud not to be the baby any more! This year Father Winger thought we children needed a guardian for each of us, so I chose Prof. A. R. Eikenberry. He has since been responsible to Father Winger for me, and I could always feel pretty safe if Prof. Eikenberr} ' told me I could do something. The same year all my brothers and sisters and I were divided among four literary societies. Some of my parts got in rival societies and there has been much society spirit in my lifetime, but it doesn ' t affect them outside of society. Then, too, in the second year some of our family got the small-pox and all of us were quarantined. We couldn ' t go anywhere. I didn ' t much want to though, for I was vaccinated and my arm was so stiff and sore I couldn ' t use it. In the spring of my second year we had to build an addition to our house, our family was so large, so they spoiled some of our yard to put up a big building on. It wasn ' t finished until I was three years old, and it ' s ' mostly school rooms. When I was three years old I began to be more dignified. We all got out into the world after we had been at home for four years, and I wanted to be prepared. Most of my parts of the first year had gone, but I gained new ones, and Father W ' inger said I was going to be the biggest child he had sent out. You may be sure that I wanted to ht the best too. So I studied hard all year. Toward the last of the year, my big brother, ' 21, was getting ready to leave home. To give his parts a last good time together he took them all off somewhere one day and didn ' t even tell Father Winger. Father didn ' t seem much worried, but I didn ' t think it a bit nice of ' 21 to sneak off in that way. I called all my parts together and that night they took all the ' 2rs trunks, books and clothes and hid them. ' 21 had a hard time finding them. One night about midnight he brought them all back and thought that I didn ' t know but I did. Later I entertained ' 21 at a banquet, and still later pasted . eals on his diplomas and rolled and tied them, so we parted friends. Now I have come to my last year at home; I do not like to think of leaving for I have spent the happiest and most profitable da} ' s of m} ' life here, hvA I must endeavor to show my appreciation of what my teachers have done for me b doing something worth while for others. Though only eight or ten of my parts have come through all four years together, I have reason to be proud of the recent additions and I have fulfilled Father Winger ' s prediction that I would be his biggest child. If my young brothers and sisters are looking to me as an example, I want them to cop} ' onh ' m}- good traits. I had my picture taken in my cap and gown this fall, and I felt rather nervous, but don ' t miss my picture, for I think it is rather handsome, if I do say it myself. Most of my time this year has been taken up by the enormous amount of time I ' ve spent on my thesis. I ' ve found that the easiest wa) ' to write a thesis is to begin and work till it ' s finished. If anyone has any questions as to my knowledge and ability, let them read a thesis of anv member of the Class of ' 22. They are in cold storage in the library. I don ' t know what I ' ll be doing next year, but I suspect you can find some of ni} ' fiftv-odd parts almost anywhere. This I can testify, that all of them will be glad to come back to their Alma Mater, and will rejoice in her success, for the Blue and White are inseparably intertwined with the Black and Gold. 68 HOME ECONOMICS Leona Arnold, Greenville, Ohio.

Early in the year we held a picnic in the woods north of the College. This is alwa s a great event. At this time Miss Elsie Miller was chosen as our class adviser; the other officers chosen were; Clara ' ine, president; ]Mabel Reppert, vice president; and Alta Williams, secretary-treasurer. We have had several social t-m;s this year. At Hallowe ' en we enjoyed a back- ward, hard time party given by the Seniors at the home of Ernest Bo -er. At Christmas we were entertained at the hom; of Clara ' ine where Mr. and !Mrs. Santa Claus joined in our frolic. We had a Valentine entertainment at the home of Alta W ' illiams on the evening of Pel). 14. But the big event of the year will be May 1, the Junior-Senior Banquet. We are eagerly antici])ating the life of a dignified senior, even thougli we have greath ' enjoyed the life of a Junior. 5-. r3 ' i ' ' Ss - j ' jk- 2 •■■•..- -r - S - i l - K- 1 SOPHOilORES: Seated— Snyder, Fall, Coffman, V.

ACADEMY CLASS OF ' 24 We are only fifteen in number, Ijut we excell in class recitations, although no outside information is necessary to affirm this. We have been busily employed all }ear in trying to please our Senior partners and in keeping an eye on the mischievious Freshmen. Among the members of our class are Wilbur Xorris. our president; Mignon Anderson, the student; Horace Reljer, the baslcet ball star; and Paul Mnger the class Clown. We were fortunate in securing JMiss Grace Hollenburg as our class advisor and wish her to know that we appreciate her efforts. We are loyal supporters of M. C, alwa}s ready to sp-ak a good word for our school. ACADEMY FRESHMEN Just little Freshies, we hear ' ou sa} ' , As you go haughtily on your wa) ' ; Perhaps we lock foolish and a wee bit green, But we ' re the best freshies that ever were seen. We learned the first week, — though }-ou wonder how That minus a lesson, there follows a row; The teachers are strict and stern to us So we try to be good and not make a fuss. In the halls we are quiet and very sedate. And live up to all rules that were made here-of-late; Altogether we are such a very fine class, That no other freshman can ever surpass. When you speak of freshies you know not what you say, There are wonders among us, as we ' ll show you some day, When? — 3 ' ou wonder when we ' ll make our dive? In the vear that we graduate — 1925. M The Spirit of the Literary Activities I, t ie ' S)p nt of the Literary Activities at M. C, am indispensable to the proper growth and development of manhood and tvomanhood, since I aim to create or develope the art of poise and freedom before an assembly of listeners. I also aim to stimulate rapid, systematic thinking and its application to clear and proper English. I cause the bashful to become bold, and the timid to rely on themselves; and so, greater efficiency is reached for the individual mind and its expression and also for his literary society. 1 often compete for the highest ■ intellectual attainments as well as the cleverest of jokes. 1 inspire originality ayid wit. My workers, who would succeed, must reach their efficiency through steady nerve, persistence, self-control and team-work. If at first you don ' t succeed, try, try, again. (;,De 0 ST HEN E i| ILEi.

C, and bear to her Th - true worth. Grant to us power. Honor to Thee, thy daughters Ever bestow. We love you, Philalethea, We love your colors too; Your white which tells of purity, , And loyalty your blue. With all sincerity we love The truth for which } ' 0u stand; For then we ' ll fight from day to day, And labor hand in hand. PHILALETHEA In the rectnt history of Munchester ' s orgiinizations there is one distinct event — the birth of Phihiletheii. It wns in the fall of 1919 that she first came spotless arid blameless in her truth and purit} ' . Fifty-five girls were ready with outstretched hands, to welcome her. With all the earnestness and enthusiasm that Philaletheans can show, an organization was soon perfected and starting forward ready to conquer in spite of all opposition. With a sacrificing purpose, ideals of the highest possible good, ambitions of noble achievements, standards of truth and sincerity, love of beauty and puritA ' , striving for the Ijest, Philalethea was placed on a working basis. These are but the corner stones of the Society, a foundation which will stand the test of years to come. Each new ideal and achievement which coming Philaletheans bring will add to her grandeur, build up her organization, increase her strength. Philalethea does not aspire to glorious and conspicuous achievements on the campus; does not aim to leave visible monuments to grace her Hall; does not seek to spread abroad fame of her attainments. Her aim is of deeper significance with a more lasting influence. She strives to win the love and loyalty of each girl, to instill within her the standards of truth and right. Thru such devotion in a girl ' s life there springs up and grows ever deeper a desire to live true to that which she loves. Our ideals may not always be reached, but there is a A-irtue in striving for the best. The best that lies in man is none too good; but less than the best is far too little. Each attempt at the best is one step nearer to it. But Philalethea does not stand by herself. She is proud of the encouragement and support of her strong and honorable Brother, Philophroni a. The two organizations working together have mutual interests, mutual aims, mutual attainments. In their several open sessions and joint programs they have felt the help of co-operation. This spirit of helpfulness and co-operation strengthens the purpose to hold to that which is the highest. The comradship with a Ijig Brotlier stimulates an appreciation of whole- some and worth} ' friendship. The attitude of cornmon good to all hamicmizes with the strong college spirit of democracy. Co-operation is a necessary force behind great achievements. Being thus fostered in our Brother and Sister Societies, it is implanting in the hearts of young people a principle which will be of help in future experiences. ' ith all the enjoyment and pleasure gained from the Societies, they have more than merely passing Ijenefits. Their aims are higher; their accomplishments are greater. For young people will continue to lie menil)ers of societies and the ' will alwavs need to serve society. The weekly meetings offer good wholesome entertainment, interpretation of good music, stimuli for thought, and opportunit} ' for friendly comradeship. To be a good supporter of others, attempts is a mark of success in one ' s own endeavors. Week after week they meet, but with never a thot of monoton} ' or drudgery. Philaletheans never tire of associating with each other, of listening to each others productions, and sharing their experiences. It is an education which no other opportunity affords. Sharing our friends ' experiences — weeping with them, laughing with them — increases our own, and broadens our sympathies for all humanity. It is our purpose that each Philalethean shall possess the strength of character that will enable her to face the world, she will later meet, with courage and determination that will spell victory. High has the Philalethean banner been raised and may it never droop or fall. Each girl awake to her duty will keep it waving ever. Philalethea tells how to aim and how to do. She says to the wavering girl, Straight ahead . To the girl who is doubting, she says, Truth conquers all things . Then with her eye on the weary world of more unfortunate souls, and her hand in that of Philalethea, the one who doubted resolves to meet her tasks with courage and determination, and a faith that never falters. For loyalt} ' her blue, for purity her whit;, her banner waves ever on high; for all that is good, for all that is right, each Philalethean will live — die. Slogan: Straight Ahead. PRESIDENTS FOR 1921-1922 Roliert Stauffer Paul Updike Paul Xorris Noble Neff Faculty Advisor, A. R. Eikenberrv ECHOES FROM THE HALLS OF PHILOPHRONLA Often in the course of a lifetime we are Ijewildered by distress and disappo int- ment. The shutters of circumstances are frequently blown shut by the storms of adversity and the light of prosperity and happiness no longer shines in upon us. Then as we are groping for light how relieved we are when we discover the compass flower to guide us in our wanderings. PAUL UPDIKE, ' 22. All the valuable and worthwhile things of life are the results of struggle. If we want diamonds we must dig for them. It has been thru Philophronia that we have been aided in learning a great lesson of humanity, the need of man for man. The friendships and memories of vou are being photographed in our hearts in such a way that they will never fade or die. PAUL NORRIS, ' 22. Philophronian Literary Society In tlic fall of 1919, the faculty of Manchester College came to a decision which has intluenced the social life of Al. C. ven- much. They were suddenly forced to the conclusion that Majestica could not successfully mother two hundred homeless students; they felt that she had outlived her period of usefulness and that she should he superseded b} ' newer and more effective organizations. They decided that there should be formed college literary societies to take the place of Majestica. A lew weeks later, the students drew slips of paper on which was written either a number 1 or a number 2 . The boys and girls with like numbers were to be the Brother and Sister societies. The True Blue Philos ' ' , or the Philaletheans and the Philophronians were favored with the distinction of being Numljer I ' s . They were brothers and sisters and this affiliation has proved to be pleasant and profitable to both. Philophronia welcomes ever}- student into her fold who chooses to Ijecome one of her happv family. The only conditions necessary for membership are a loyal heart, a lofty ambition, and a willingness to work. Very substantial gains in membership were made this ) ' ear. Fort ' -four new memlaers were welcomed into the society- bringing with them talents developed and undeveloped. A wealtli of musical ability among the members has made the Philophronian orchestra and glee club permanent and entertaining organizations among us. In fact, since the aim of Philophronia is to develop the social, moral, and intellectual talents of every msmber, and to promote the welfare of the school, we feel that our society will become a greater part 01 } Ianchester College in the years to come. The programs of our society are varied, interesting and in-tructive. Few students attend our sessions who do not go away with a feeling that it was an hour well spent. Dramatics has received a great impetus through the various plays given by the society members. The ' Annual Tramps Convention directed by ' arren Heestand and That Rascal Pat ' ' directed by L. W. Vore deserve special mention. Philophronia frequently meets in joint session with her sister societ ' , Philalethea. These occasions are the delight of all. An informal reception was given by Mr. and Mrs. Mote to the two societies soon after the entrance of the new members. Philophronia gave a musical recital on March 10 in honor of her sister society, I ' hilalethea, the members of which were the guests of the evening. The program was featured by violin duets and solos, cornet duets and solos, piano solos, and vocal solos and quartettes. Such sessions inspire the members of each societv with a deeper love for the principle for which the True Blue Philos stand. Philophronia does not seek well-developed talent exclusively, but she does look for some talent to develop. Our aim is the aim of service to the individual particu- larly, and to the world in general. A ' e have our Carusos, Hoffmans and Websters in miniature. Perhaps thru the training they have received from Philophronia, they may not remain in miniature but reaching the full height of manhood take their places among the ranks of men that help make the world move. We also have many diamonds in the rough. It is the aim of Philophronia to develop the talent of the membership in such a way that there will never be Full many a gem of purest ray serene The dark unfathomed caves of ocean bear. Philophronia extends a glad hand to all those who earnestly desire to realize the height of their own possibilities, mingled in an atmosphere of truth, fidelity, and fraternitv.

Is the motto we hold dear Our purple and our gold To us will ne ' er grow old Philamathea we love. THE DRAMATIC ARTS CLUB During the winter term a Dramatic Arts ' Club was organized within JNIathean Society. Fourteen of our members were selected as members of that clul3. The organ- ization is expected to render a drama at various occasions of the Society. Already a play of a light nature has been rendered and another is about to be produced. Mrs. Wampler is going to coach the Club in the rehearsal for a play later in the Spring. It is a Greek drama of some length and splendor and is intended for the out-of-doors. SUCCESS People c XTy here are desirous of achieving success, of making tlie most of life. Sometimes some act as if tliey little care what was the outcome of tiieir exertions. But there are times in the lives of the most abandoned and reckless people when their good angel points out a nobler way and a wish arises for something better than they have ever known . We are all confronted with two ends — success or failure. To win the former requires of us labor and perseverance. It is hard earnest work step by step that secures success. There are always plenty along the side wondering why they cannot be successful but forget that the true key is labor and only a strong resolute will can turn it. The talent of success is simply doing what you can do well, and doing well whatever you do. God has given to all of us ability and opportunity enough to be moderately successful. Choice of occupation depends partly on the individual preference and partly upon circum- stances. Sometimes we are not allowed to enter the profession we would like, so then it is up to us to choose the best within our grasp and work earnestly and faithfully at it, then we cannot help but achieve success. Life is too short, says a shrewd thinker, for us to waste one moment deploring our lot. We must do as you would to get through a crowd to a gate all are anxious to reach, hold your ground and push hard. To pout and lament is to stand still and give up. Never was there a time in the world ' s history when success in any calling or pro- fession demands more earnest labor than now. It is impossible to succeed in a hurry. We must first build a soHd foundation and put forth energy and determination for there is no royal road to success . Of what does success consist? Many people would say it consists in becoming famous or gaining a large fortune. These ma ' be attributes to success but are not necessary in order to be successful. Some of the most successful men have amassed great fortunes. Mere wealth is no more success than fools gold is real gold. !Many rich nien ijistead of having money, money has them. We are apt to think that the A hole catalogue of happiness and success is written on the back of bank bills. But tlie person ■ ' ho dies in the midst of bank books, unless his treasure and his heart is in Heaven, really dies poor, for he goes to the other world bankmpt, taking nothing with him, not even a hope. Men whisper, How much did he leave? One answers, a million : another, . two millions, but God answers niqre truly, he left all he had . The person wdio puts his trust in gold and deposits his heart in the bank, and thinks money means success is like a starving traveler in ' the desert, who, seeing a bag in the distance, found in it, instead of food which he sought, nothing but gold, and flung it from him in disappointment and died for the want of something that would save his life. Peopfe are satisfied with a little more than they have. This is illustrated in a story told of Columbus and his followers when they landed on this continent. They at once asked the Indians for the land of gold of which they had dreamed. They were pointed over the mountains and when they had crossed they were pointed yet beyond other mountains, so day after day they climbed the hills in vain. Irving says: The land of gold is ever beyond the mountains. ' e have heard many times that nothing succeeds like success but it is a mistake to think that all men succeed tli rough success; they much bftener succeed through failure. It has been said that the man who never failed is a myth. If you fail in something you undertake now and then, do not think the world is coming to an end, or that society is going to destruction because some of your petty plans have been miscarried. Our greatest glory is not in never failing but in rising every time we fall. A man who weighs one hiuidred fifty pounds on the earth would weigh two pounds on the planet ? Tars and so could hardly stand up; while on the sun he would weigh two tons, so would sink into its hot marshes. So it is each man is too light for some places, too heavy for others and just right for others. Failing in a work for which he is unfitted often brings him to his true place. . prominent Brooklyn officer says: There is no fa ilure in this country with those whose personal habits are good and who follow any honest calling, unselfishly and purely. There is a place and means for every man alive. As the universe is composed of minute atoms so it is little details, mere trifles, which go to make success in any calling. Little sums make up the grand total of life. Great things come but seldom in life, and are often unrecognized until they are passed. Little things are little things, but to do little things faithfully is a great thing. The quiet mother is never heard of outside of her home and Sunday School class may be God ' s bit of success. If we want to succeed we must remember the little things in everyday life such as doing an act of kindness or giving a word of cheer. Give to others something, receive something. Fixedness of purpose is a grand element of human success. Someone has said, Nature holds for each of us all that we need to make us useful and happy but she requires us to labor for all that we get. Life is not long enough to accomplish e ' erything. Only a few at their best can accomplish more than one thing well and very many accomplish nothing. Then what- is success? Christ defines it very beautifully in commending Mary of Bethany: She hatli done what she could. We should not measure ourselves with others but with what we might be. Should ask ourselves. How does what I am compare with what I might be? Success is coming up to your level best. It is making the most of our abilities and opportunities. Success is doing your best every day. J. D.

The Survival of the Fittest A The th eory that tlie origin of species among plants and animals is due to natural selection and the survival of the fittest has been much discussed ever since Darwin lirst pul)lished his work in 1859. Darwin, however, is not the originator of the theory- of the survival of the fittest, for this idea is to be found in the writings of philosophers who lived centuries before his time. This theory has helped to make some people better and to degrade others. Some people have worried so much al out what they might have been that the ' have lost sight of what the}- might be. From a practical standpoint it is of little import to us whether the various species originated because a certain animal or plant which accidentally possessed certain charcteristics was more fit than its neighbor and therefore survived or whether the species have always e.xisted as they are today. Practically it doesn ' t matter to us whether our ancestors years ago were lower forms of animals, it ' s of greater concern to us that we advance and not reach the level of the animal. Whatever may be said for or against the theory ii is quite evident that at one time certain animals_ existed here that do not today. It may Ije that these animals were exterminated by some unusual circumstance or died through inherent weakness, at an - rate, some have survived and others have not. The theory of the survival of the fittest when applied to nations and to people, however, has its limitations. Men, as Xietzche, may disregard the moral element and declare the goal is the creation of supermen, of a higher type, of a race of heroes; and this cannot be realized without struggle, pain, suffering, and injury to the weak. Pity is bad; it injures him that gives and him that takes; it weakens both the strong and the weak, it saps the strength of the race, and is bad, but he can only declare such at his own danger. His nation was fit as far as efficiency and strength were concerned, but in this case the theory of the survival of the fittest failed to function. Any nation can likewise be fit but if based upon the wrong principles cannot survive. ' hen we glance at the industrial, social, and political orlds and ask oursehes why some men rise above their fellowmen and attain the heights of distinction, why this man is head of a firm and his neighbor a miner employee, why one is discharged and the other elevated, we must conclude that the theory of the survival of the fittest becomes a fact in the practical life of men. f£very day society is acclaiming new victors and rejecting thousands of men because they are unfit morally, intellectually, or physically. The various fields of activity may perhaps be crowded but there is always a place for the one who is fit. The element of chance may enter into the theory when applied to animals and plants, but it lias no place when applied to men. Men do not become lit and survive because of some accidental quality they may possess, but through a conscious and purposeful effort upon their part. True, not all men possess the same capacities but no man develops his capacities to the fullest extent. David Eugene Smith has analyzed the faculties of man as follows: Human beings as such possess in some recognizable measure such marks as the following, a sense for language, e-xpression in speech — literary faculty ; a sense for the past, for the value of experience — the historical faculty ; a sense for the future, for natural law, for prediction — the scientific faculty ; a sense for the beau- tiful — the artistic faculty; a sense for world haniiony. for cosmic understanding — the philosophical faculty; and a sense for the mysterj ' of divinity — the religious faculty. Fitness requires the development of these faculties in the proper proportion. To what extent a person will develop his faculties depends largely upon his philosophy of life. According to Dr. Browne, it isn ' t a question whether one should have a philosophy or not ; everyone has a philosophy and the less conscious a person is of it the more powerful is its control over his life. Fichte says, the choice of one ' s philosophy depends upon what kind of man one is. It might also be said that the choice of one ' s philosophy determines what kind of man one will be. We can be a Schopenhauer and degrade ourselves with our pessimistic philosophy, or an F.uchen, and become better through perceiving real values in life. One ' s philosophy is perhaps the determini ng factor but one must also have a definite purpose and the will to accomplish this purpose. It is within the power of each one to say whether he shall become fit and sui -ive or whether he shall be counted among the thousands who are dis- carded every day. Let us strive to become fit that we might survixe. not that we might trample down the weak but that we ntight be of service to them. THE LINCOLN LITERARY SOCIETY The Lincoln Literan ' Society with its man ' A ' ears of organization has been a means of giving practical experience along litcrar ' and oratorical lines to the students of the Academy. The Society has not been as large in numbers as it has been in some of the previous years, but it is not always the large societv which accomplishes the most for its numbers. The societv holds its programs on each Saturdav morning in the Lincoln Hall from 7:30 to 9:00 o ' clock, the time set aside by the faculty for our literar} ' work. During these hours the society members will i)e found enjoying the various programs arranged. One of the stimulating features which spurs us on to better work is the contest with our rivals, the Adelphians, for the Loving Cup. These annual Inter-Society Debates are the means of developing young men and women along oratorical lines. Perhaps the greatest benefit realized from these debates is loyalty, pep and enthusiasm for one ' s society. The Lincolns have been fortunate in having men and women of noted oratorical ability, who have won for us the much coveted I oving Cup each year since the Inter-Scciety Debating Club has been organized. The success of our society this year is due to the untiring efforts of our facult) ' advisor, L. J. Yoder, who was a loval member of the societv in his former college days. ADELPHIAX SOCIETY Although the Adelphian societ} ' is not as large in numbers as in previous years, it has not decreased in spirit. The society is verj- proud of its thirty-four faithful niemliers and the willingness with which each member co-operates. Each Saturday morning the society members meet in the Adelphian Hall to enjo} ' and to take part in the programs which are rendered. These programs are varied each time, consisting of musical numbers, essays, debates, short plays, also impromptus which benefit the speaker as well as entertain the audience. The loyalty and co-operation of the society was shown when the play The Line Busy , was given in Januar ' . The entire college as well as the town people enjoyed this program. We want to bid farewell to the seniors who have given their best in return for the enjoyment and practice which they have received from Adelphia. We also wish to express our appreciation to our faculty adviser. Miss Elsie Miller, for her untiring efforts which she has so kindly contributed. Adelphia! the da3 s go swiftly by. But we have done our duty, you can see. And with our aims so true, and banner high Success we ' ve surel} ' wen, Adelphia. OUR unwelco:me guests Racial and national prejudice and sus])icion are un-American. Neither true Americanism, nor reason, nor law, nor fact, nor gospel forms the basis of the underlying hostility to the Japanese. The real question before the American people in regard to Japan is a moral one. None but a dreamer or a deceiver can hide the truth that underneatli all is the fundamjntal reality of racial antipathy. What is needed just now above all else is right feeling, sympathetic understanding, and generous treatment of one another on the part of the two peoples as a whole. It is this charitable attitude of the popular mind that every true friend of Japanese- American Amity should endeavor to cultivate. If right feeling and prop.-r under- standing prevailed on each side and the momentum of healthy public opinion were brought to hear upon it, the entire question would l)e solved. The Civic and Oratorical League A. F. Bollinger Pre,-.ident G. G. Brooks Vice President Elsie ]Mae Neher _ Recording; Secretary Harold Chambers Corresponding Secretary Glen Reed Treasurer , J. D. Bright Lecture Course Chairman The Civic and Oratorical League is as yet in its infancy, this being its eighth 3ear of existence. Nevertheless it has done some things worthy of mention. First, it is under the auspices of the League that a Lyceum Course has been brought to Man- chester College for the past several years. This year some of the noted personages who visited our halls were Chester Milton San ford, Paul Gruppe and Company, Judge Ben Lindsey, The Montague Light Opera Singers, Dr. McGowan, and others making a total of eight programs. This year has been a record year, both in the e.xtent of the course, and in the number of season tickets sold. For the .oming year, the Redpath Lvceum Companx ' will again furnish the talent. Second, the League fosters the Oratorical and Debating Contests. This year Manchester was a member of two Debating Triangles, bringing her in contact with Gcshen, De Pauw, Butler, and Indiana Central Colleges. This year she participate4 in two Oratorical Contests. The State Oratorical Contest was held at Earlham College in February, in which Notre Dame, Butler, Wabash, Earlham, Franklin, Vincennes and Manchester took part. Oliver Zendt represented Manchester with an oration on Our L ' nwelcome Guests , winning the fifth place. The State Peace Oratorical Contest will be held in April, at ' abash College, in which eight colleges will compete. ]Man- chester will be represented b ' ' arren Heestand on the subject, Stronger than Arms and Stranger than Fiction . On Friday, Ajiril 7, the League will present the popular ])lay of English life, The Servant in the House , by Charles Rann Kennedy. This play teaches moral purity and is intensely interesting. It is being directed by Mrs. Wampler. . part of the proceeds will go to furnish the platform with scenery representing an interior scene. For some time it has been felt that the influence of the League should be extended outside of the College circle, ' ith this end in view, programs of Community interest have been arranged. In !March, a program was given at Laketon, which met with a ready response from the puljlic. Other programs of a similar nature are now under contemplation. Keller, Rohrer. Caiit. Cordier, Ilrooks, Jackson Coach Schut , The Aftirniative Debate Team which represented Manchester College in the intercollegiate contests of this year is worthy of considerable credit. The initial contest of tiie season took place March 3 when the M. C, met the Indiana Central team on the local floor. The debate was an interesting and exciting one. In the rebuttal, however, the affirmative was outpointed by a close margin and the decision was given unanimously to the negative. The speakers for il. C. were Capt. Cordier, Eldon Keller and Granville Brooks. For the second contest with the strong De Pauw aggregation at Greencastle, March 17, the lineup was rearranged, Jackson replacing Keller and Rohrer replacing Brooks, Capt. Cordier opened the first gun with a careful outline of the question and supported the necessity of the closed shop, Jackson presented tlie desirability and Rohrer the practicability of the questioii. The De Pauw aggregation carefully refuted each point of the affirma- tive and at the end of the constructive speeches held the edge in points. However, Manchester ' s strong comeback in rebuttal evened the board, leaving the contest entirely to the sentiment of the judges. The final vote was 2 to 1 in favor of the Negative. (Lilt. KriRht, Gai-st, F. Xorris, Wolfe, P. Xnrri-; The proposition for debate anionic tlie twelve colleges of the Indiana State Debate League this year was the justification of the policy of the closed shop. Earlham took first place by winning all four decisions. The Manchester Negative encountered the Goshen Affirmative at Goshen on March .1. Goshen won 2-1. March 17 the clash was with the Butler Affirmative on the home floor. This time the Negative exulted in a 3-0 victory. The lineup of the Negative was kept intact for both series, as follows : Forbes H. Norris, Paul B. Norris and J. Daniel Bright, although the Negative Squad was intrenched with strong alternates Ijoth of whom had prepared speeches and were scarcely kept from actual participation. In three ears as Detjate Coach, Prof. Schutz has greath ' enlarged Manchester ' s activity in debating circles, — in the number of students trained, in the numlier of debates engaged, in the numlx ' r of different colleges contested, and in the number of victories scored. THE MAY FESTIVAL Among the special events of the school _vear is the Nla) ' day festival. Manchester will always remember this occasion as one of her cherished memories. The day is under the splendid direction of the C. and O. League. x s we awoke upon the morning of ' Ma.y 2nd, the sun was peeping over the horizon, but ere we arose we felt Jack Frost had not made his disappearance. Spring being so slow in her arrival made us all the more eager to show her that we were in the May day Spirit. At the back of the campus the festivities began at ten o ' clock, when the lay pole girls began their dance, accompanied by the orchestra. Soon our queenly queen, Miss Marjorie Gump, attended by her maid of honor, Alice Lehman, appeared on a beautiful violet float drawn b}- six young men and surrounded l y twelve other attendants. In the midst of much cheering the Queen was placed amidst the crowd. In her honor, Mrs. Wampler sang a May day solo which was followed b} ' a beautiful festoon drill given by twelve girl attendants. LTnder a canopy made by the attendants, Mrs. Winger worked to the float where she so impressively crowned Miss Gump with a royal crown of purple and gold, as our second May Queen. May the month of rosy beauty May when pleasure is a duty. Month of bees and month of flowers !Month of blossom laden hours. Lovers, loves and poet ' s praises O thou merry month complete May — thy very name is sweet. May was maid in olden time. And is still in Scottish rhyme. May ' s the blooming hawthorne bough May ' s the month that ' s laughing now. Dear May Queen on thy head we place This emblem of thy lovely grace. Queen of hearts indeed art thou. So wear tliis crown upon thy brow As emblem of the love we bear To Thee, our Queen, sweet Maiden Fair. Because of the inclement weather, it was necessary that the remainder of the program be given in the chapel, where the Queen and her attendants were arranged in royal fashion on the stage. The program consisted of several readings, musical selections, and an address by Professor E. W. Kintner, all being appropriate for the occasion. It was a hungrv crowd that left the Auditorium at noon, for the splendid dinner which was awaiting us in the dining hall. The dinner was served in cafeteria style, and how glad we were, for then we could have all the ice-cream and delicious pie we cared to eat. But when dinner was served, the day was just half completed in her festivities. During the afternoon we were entertained by stunts and games arranged by the different organizations and societies. Then came the field meet — there were hundred yard dashes, relay races, running broad jump and high jump and pole vaulting. The observers of the day were unanimous in their praise for the success of the second May Festival of Manchester College. The Synopsis of the Expression Mirror Oh would some power the gift to give us To see ourselves as others see us. Act I. Enter thirty aspiring public speakers and readers with visions of audiences held spellbound in the wonder of their attainment. Among the number are girls who suddenly find that the only sound that it is possible for them to make is a whisper; boys, whose knees become suddenly friendly, whose voices waver and crack and refuse to work while standing on the same floor they have stood in sound condition previously. Severe drilling and disciplining takes place. Some aspirants see vision fading and finally disappear when threatened by the impending twenty- minute speeches. Some drop out of the race. Then speeches of varying degrees of eloquence are delivered by the remainder. Studen ts unacquainted with the realms of Expression become alarmed by sounds of oo-whoo-oo-woe, -woe, -war, -wont, etc. issuing from the expression room. Suddenly everyone is astounded to find that the girl whom the) ' have never heard speak above a whisper reall ' has a voice which can be heard for the entire length of the building. The boy previously afflicted witli knee-itis enters an oratorical contest and carries off honors. Act II. Enter a few who have survived the training of the previous } ' ear. A few new ones are added to the list. Thoro study of the best poems ensues, then programs follow. Breath has liecome more durable and knees less friendly but memor} ' fails and the audience hears a story made up for the occasion, instead of the one which has suddenly and unaccountaljl} ' left the speaker ' s repertoire. The audience is then held in fits of laughter just because the girl who declared she could giggle, really did laugh at nothing. (She refused flatly ever to do it again, but under persuasion does sometimes do it.) Remarks are heard: Miy, I didn ' t suppose she could do an3 ' thing like that! Say, each one fitted the part that he was playing. How do you suppose they got them just to fit their parts? Now some take out the two-year diploma. Act III. Enter five who have lived through previous years of drilling, monoton -, fun, discouragement, encouragement, — and all, and who still feel the need of further training. Much reading ensues in order to find a suitalale l)ook for presentation. Memory has its rooms aired and dusted in the meantime, in learning readings of various lengths and usefulness. Books are finally decided upon. They are cut down to three hours in length, and the five declare they have reached the limit of cutting. The play director then orders the programs of one and one-half hours only. Every vacant room of the building is haunted at all hours of da ' or night ! }■ these five. At last the books are read before a selected group of critics. Visions of Act I are resumed when kind encouragement reaches the five. The most prevalent expression among them now is, Oh I ' m glad it ' s over! Curtain falls as the director of the ]Mirror sends the actors out, with her blessings, to bring all the joy and beauty possible to this old world, thru a sympathetic under- standing and interpretation of real life. cvi % The Spirit of Organizations I av( the Spirit of Organizations, and no donht the most prominent of all of M.

That sentiment is formed by everything pertaining to the institution, the ground itself, the buildings, the trees, the walks, the organizations, the faculty, the students. A very vital and integral part of the spirit and feeling of Manchester College is given it by the oak. trees which stand on its campus. These trees share their beauty and luxury by covering the campus with oak leaves. As oak leaves form a part of the college spirit so has Oak Leaves, the college paper ccme to do. Sometimes it is a yellow sheet and sometimes a green sheet, sometimes a blue or a brown but under the cover there is always the atmosphere of Manchester. There are only a few of us here in school compared to the large number whose interests and hopes are always with us. To carry the spirit and feeling of M. C. to these people, to the folks back home , to friends, to former students, is the mission of the college paper. It accomplishes its purpose by giving them choice literary products, by telling all the newsy neivs of the faculty, students and alumni, by the exchange department and last but not least the jokes. Thus the paper forms a strong bond of fellowship and friendship between those who have been here and those who will be here. Each month the life of Manchester is reflected in the mirror of Oak Leaves. COLLEGE O L N ' S CLUB Because of the commendable growth of Manchester College it was necessary for many of the giris to find homes away from the campus. Many of these girls came to the college each morning and stayed until evening. But there was no room in which they could rest, and no place that they cotild call their own; they were wanderers from morning till evening. Such organizations as the Young Women ' s Christian Association, which had outgrown its former meeting place, the Ladies ' parlor, were also without a home. The mother heart of the College Woman ' s Club realized the situation and planned to f rovide a room. With the help of the management a suitable one was chosen. By the financial assistance of a number of .Aid Societies a hardwood floor was laid, and the walls were tastefully decorated. The next problem confronting the ladies was the furnishing of the room; but the many resident friends of the college soon helped them out of the difficulty b - generously donating a library table, rockers, couches, stands, pedestals, pictures, clock, mirror, curtains and a rug. One might judge that these articles coming from so many places would not present a very harmonious appearance for a Rest Room. It was really surprising what some paint and cretonne of the pleasing colors of rose and grey did for these various pieces of furniture. A number of the ladies spent much effort and many hours in transforming and harmonizing the room and furniture. During the chapel hour on the twenty-ninth of November, the ladies Rest Room was fittingly dedicated by a pageant arranged by Mrs. Wampler. The pageant represented the need and purpose of the Rest Room. During the day the room was open to visitors, but to men on that day only. At ' arious times during the winter term the teachers ' section of the Club gave teas or informal socials. Kach member of the school was invited to one of these. Since the Rest Room is being so heartily enjoyed the Club is now directing its efforts equipping the banquet room. vard Standint — Ltihut SdioHit, Robertson, Leonard, K. Forney, Dilling, Whitehead.

THE WOMEN ' S STUDENT GOVERNMENT The girls in Manchester College are striving to meet the demand For service done by women, throughout our native land; Their hearts beat high within them to serve at any call. They seek opportunity to prepare, lest in the test thev fall. Knowing that influential power doth begin at home. They have adopted student government within the Ladies Home; And they have striven with earnest desire to make the home the best. That anyone could wish for in which to live, work, and rest. This is a day of decision, and women are well in ths game; If government is not what it should be, our girls will not be to blame, For they understand principles of citizenship and democracy. No girl represented here will tolerate hypocrisy. The Student Council shows character and government itself, They know no one can rule unless he rules himself. My friend, do not question, this government will not fail. For the executive power of woman is as strong as that of a male !- !

To say that it is idealistic would be exaggeration but to compare its results in the accomplishment of its purpose — the promotion of student government — with those of previous years, leads us to but one conclusion — Student Government for the year 1921-1922 has been a success . As time passes, each student becomes imbued with the spirit of the organization and inculcates in his life an increased consciousness of its presence as an effective gov- erning agent. Grounded, as it is, upon the sound principles of democracy and democratic government, and with a continued and increased support from all parties effecting its successful application, its greater success in the future can be anticipated with assurance. A propitious organization, however not impeccable, is apocalyptic of a multiplicity of beneticient results. The rules of government, essential to proper college discipline and conducive to proper environment making the highest scholastic attainment possible, are Ijy con- tinued contact with the organization, ingrained in the lives of the students. Important revisions in the constitution and a change of the name from the Men ' s Student Council to the Men ' s Student League constitute the only changes in mechanics of the organization during the school year. lanchester Student government like any democratic organization develops the executive powers of the individual, enables him to control himself and makes him a leader among his fellows. 123 f.

C. } ' ou may well say, Well, I begin to under- stand why the students seldom grow tired of their activities, for they are varied. However numerous, they are very wholesome and can trul}- be said to be the spice of life. You are not yet through all the different activities. Let me introduce to )ou one more called the Bible Societ} ' ' . As the name signifies, it is the society which exercises in Bible activities. In Psa. 119:105, our motto is found, which says, Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. If we can but make ourselves and those with whom we come in contact, realize the true light of this great luminous candle, we shall have accomplished a great task. Thus we shall hold within our possession God ' s celestial torch which is able to light our pathway through even the darkest shadows and deepest trials all through this life, up to the throne of God. Our societv aims to develop the innate talent of young men and women by appearing before the people, thus developing their literan ' abilities. Furthermore, it emphasizes the greatness of the Christ life. Thus we will be better fitted to help others and raise the moral standards of li ' ing. ■, Thus far we feel that our society has had one of the most enjoyable and pros- perous }eiirs in its history. At present our enrollment has reached fifty-one active members, besides a number of honorar ' members who have taken active part in our programs. Our programs have been of various kinds, each well balanced, showing literary, musical and other talents which are very useful, ' e are discovering and developing new ability in nearly ever}- program. One of the best methods ie have found to discover and develop the latent ability of those who have not had much experience in literar} ' activities, is by the way of our impromptu work. This stimulates thought and literar} ' enthusiasm even though most of the members hold their breath in fear of being called upon. After once e.xperiencing this opportunity, people surprise even themselves b} ' having appeared before the societ} ' . Near the beginning of the school year, of the evening of Sept. 23, 1921, our society meeting was held in a woods near by, just the the darkness was falling upon the earth. Here with the leaves for our carpet and the tree tops and sky for a canopy, we enjoyed an excellent program. After the program we spent a ver}- enjoyable hour telling stories, toasting marshmallows, and in other social activities which enabled us to welcome our new members. On Oct. 14 another program of rare talent and spice was rendered, impersonating the Bible society fifteen years ago, and then fifteen years in the future. On Jan. 20, 1922, during the Special Bible Term a public program was rendered in which the main theme was The Historv of the Church of the Brethren.

THE VOLUNTEER BAND To get a Ijroader view of world problems, and the way in which we as Christian Students can best use our lives in their solution is one aim of the Volunteer Band. There has been no special campaign for members, but an effort was made to have each Volunteer and prospective Volunteer face the proposition with a clear understanding as to what the declaration card really stands for. One of the problems that has been evident, is to get young people to face the Challenge for a life of Christian Service, yet not make a decision before they feel sure it is God ' s work and they have the necessary personal qualiiications. It is sometimes thought that anybody could do foreign mission work, for the people of other countries are so much inferior to ourselves. But we have a misconception if such is the belief, for unless one can be a leader of n:en in America and can do the hard things here, he can never hope to work with people of different race and different characteristics. The Band has welcomed ten new members to the task, making a total of eightw Of these, fourteen have detinite decisions for foreign service. Last September when the Band reorganized, several objectives were decided upon, and then the activities of the band have been directed toward those ends. The one around which centers the interest of every Volunteer is that of personal stewardship. The period in which we are living is not dominated by the spirit of foreign concjuest, but rather that of strengthening the Home Base , deepening personal convictions, and trying to master the lesson of spending our personal resources in the way that God may direct. This has been the center plank of our platform this }-ear. Our deputation work has been as large as the churches gave opportunity, but owing to the financial depression the calls were not as numerous as in previous years. This work has been under the direction of A. W. Cordier. !Many students have found a real joy in the Home Visiting work on Sunday after- noon. To the invalid or shutin it means a great deal to have young people show enough interest in them to take time to bring a bit of sunshine through personal visit. One of th; outstanding activities of the Band is the West-End S. S. Several years ago the need of a S. S. in the West part of the city was felt, and the Band filled the gap. Since that time a fine Chapel has been built and the work has been continually growing. For the last two years Harold S. Chambers has been Superintendent, and has given a great deal of personal time in making the work a success. The teachers and workers have been recruited from the Band. The ' olunteer work of jM. C. is definitely connected with the General Volunteer Islovement, for the outstanding problems of Mission work are similar, regardless of Church Creeds. Twenty-three M. C. students had the privilege of attending the State ' olunteer Convention held at Purdue University, Lafayette, Ind., Feb. 10-12. Every one was made to feel that not one of Us was living up to our biggest selves. To hear those leaders speak of serving their Master, and finding Him all sufficient, one felt that the} ' spoke from more than mere theory, — the} ' had tried Him and had found Him so. One thought from the Conf. — Christianity is practical for all world problems in just so far as we are willing to practice it. Miss Minerva Neher, the traveling Secretary of the Movement in our own Church, was with us from March 1-4. Her addresses to the Volunteers, her message to the student body and the many personal interviews were greatly appreciated. Our traveling Secretar} ' forms a connecting link between our several school bands.

W. together with the V. M. welcomed the new students at the train and helped to locate them. Then all the former girls of the V. W. organized themselves into a Big Sister Movement, each one becoming the big sister of one or two of the new girls, helping her to adjust herself to her new surroundings. On Monday evening, Sept. 5th, all the members of the Y. W. and Y. M. met on the College campus in a get acquainted social. A few days later, the Y. W. girls invited all of the new girls to go on a Treasure hunt . The treasure was finally found near a camp- fire where the girls spent the evening. Another delightful social event of the year was the Mothers ' and Daughters ' banquet which was given Feb. 6, and proved to be a decided success. Different films have been shown this year under the direction of the W W . The Foot Follies was very beneficial as well as entertaining, and the slides and films on China and Japan proved very interesting and educational. One of the attractive features of the year was the Japanese Bazaar which was held just before Christmas, for the purpose of securing fimds. Japanese novelties and pictures were sold. In the evening the banquet hall, with a few unique decorations, made an ideal tea room. The Y. W. was very fortunate in securing Dr. Xordfelt of New York, for a few days. She gave some very beneficial lectures on health. The Y. W. is also to be congratulated upon securing the services of Miss Helen Bennett of Chicago, who is highly recommended for placing girls in professions other than teaching. The honor system has made it possible for the members of the Y. W. to obtain the felt letters of Y. W. C. A., by earning fifty credits each term. The requisites are in health and citizenship. AVe feel certain the Y. W. has a distinct place on the Campus, giving ser ' ice which otherwise would not be rendered. 2 • ! MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION In order that the work of the Christian Ministry might he advanced among the student ministers of Manchester College the Ministerial Association was organized in 1919. The purpose is to encourage young men to enter the ministry and to strengthen and arouse these in the ministry for a greater activity in the work. Professor A. R. Eikenberry was elected president for the school year 1921-1922. At the beginning of this year the linisterial Association Constitution was adopted for the government of the organization. Much interest has been shown in exalting the ministry as a profession and in the securing of a more adequate preparation. The practical work committee circulated questionnaires among the student ministers and presented to them calls for ministers in the nearby rural churches. ' ery practical messages have been given to the association by pastors and bishops who are at work in the field. Mien the Rural Pastors ' Conference was held in January, a very impressive program was rendered during a three-course six o ' clock dinner. Seventy-cne ministers, including ministers of the faculty and those attending the rural Pastors ' Conference, were present. The main addresses were given Ij}- Bishop C. D. Bonsack, Elder A. P. Blough and Rev. M. R. Zigler. The challenge they pre- sented was a tremendous one and very impressive. Right to Lett — Front Row — D. Lehiiuui, K. Fornev. P. Gump, V. Heestaiid, E. Cov.

MANCHESTER COLLEGE SUNDAY SCHOOL 8:30 — 9:30 each Sunday morning finds every student of M. C. in the College Sunday School. No, not every one! But it is very unpopular for a young man or woman, who is not connected with another Sunday School, not to be there. Judging from the expression, the hour is one of the happiest of the week. Yes, they come on time. And, if they don ' t. Miss Lehman, our efficient Superintendent, tells them about it in a way that counts, yet no one feels hurt. Opening exercises are always spicy with special songs and readings in harmony with the lesson. Then we study the Bible, — not books about the Bible. Several classes are conducted in teacher training, preparing young men and women for this much needed service. The atmosphere is thoroughly spiritual in all classes. With two or three exceptions, all classes are taught by students. They are doing well. It is indeed a student Sunday School. Not only do we study religion; we practice it. One practical expression is the support of Sister Laura Shock on the China field. And we wrote her a letter of encouragement each month. Also we assist in the support of the West End mission in offerings and human energies. Our good patrons can feel sure that their sons and daughters are receiving Chris- tian training of the highest type. 138 THE MISSIOX CHAPEL One of the most influential and far-reaching activities for good, under the direction of Manchester College students, is the Mission Chapel at the west side of North Manchester, The direction of the activities connected with the Chapel have been under the very efficient direction of Harold Chambers for the pa st two years. Co-operating with Mr. Chambers, have been twenty-one of the best Sunday School workers Manchester College has. With this corps of workers the work is not an e.xperinient, and a practice field, but each worker is at work for the ser ' ice he can be to men. A few of the people in the community are being trained to help in the work too. Sunday School convenes each Sunday morning at iO:00 with an average attendance of 100. and an average offering of $3.25. This school is thoroughly graded, and has five departments. The departments and enrollment are: Cradle Roll, 18; Primary, 32; Junior, 18; Intermediate, 27, and the Adult, 20. A very beautiful room has been provided for the babies, which will have a direct bearing upon the future of the work. Weekly activities have been provided for the women of the community, and occasionally the men have recognition. A Young Peoples ' Meeting meets each Sunday evening at 6:00, followed by preaching at 7 :00, which has been in charge of Rev. and ilrs. .Arthur Shively. These people have rendered exceptional and unselfish service during the past year to a good sized audience with good re.sults. Wednesday evening of each week a Prayer Meeting is held at the church with a Rood attendance. Miss Clara Harper will have charge during the summer again. She is a very all-sacrificing girl, and has a splendid influence in the community. Mr. Bert Grossnickle has done much to make the church and premises attractive. Rev. J. E. Ulery conducted an evangelistic effort resulting in ten accessions. This harvest is the test of the year ' s work, which is gratifying, and brings the joy of service to the workers. M The Spirit of Music I ara the Spirit of Music, the spirit of joy and of sadness. The deepest as well as the most delicate of emotions are portrayed in my masterpieces. I develope a desire for the beautiful, the strong and the enduring qualities of my art. Time and effort must he speyit by the one ivho would hioiv my greatest possibilities. Wherever J am heard man responds to my appeal. I have lived in the soul of the poet aiid peasant, the rich and the poor, and have a song for every individual ivho u ' ill listen to my melodies. I cannot remember a time when I did not exist, nor shall J cease to live as man experiences the sense of feeling or emotion. 1 ayn a natural outlet to the expression of all races of man- kind, and so may be classed as the universal language of the ivorld.

LADIES ' GLEE CLUB Music is one of the iine arts, and throughout the ages mankind has given expression to his emotions thru it. Their metliods were crude but with civilization music has developed. One of the ways that a few students of Manchester College have been able to express themselves is thru song, so, at the first of this year the Ladies ' Glee Club was organized, with Professor Boyer as director and Miss Grace HoUenberg as president. To Professor Boyer, the Glee Club owes the degree of success it might have attained because of his untiring efforts to train, his unique methods of directing and his beautiful interpretation of music. The first program ,was given at the Central High School in Manchester. Many times the Glee Club furnished music at public programs given at the College. Our first joint program of both Men ' s and Ladies ' Glee Clubs was given at West Manchester Church. Other programs are to be given at Peru, Walton, Mexico and Nappanee, in Indiana. The soul of man desires ;md demands expression in alf forms of human activit}-. To aid and direct this eager inclination, orders and organizations have been established. Thus by this motive and to this end the Men ' s Glee Club was organized. The Club members, believing that music is the most soulful of arts, have endeavored to sincerel} ' apply themselves to the work. The schedule for spring programs was well loaded. Trips were made to arsaw, Walton, Peru, Mexico, Ladoga, and a few miscellaneous ones. Several of these were joint programs with the Ladies ' Glee Club. The most extensive tour on schedule was one among the churches of northeatsern Ohio, which was an eight day trip extending from April eighth to fifteenth. Three of the men deserving special mention for their work toward the success of the Club are: Prof. D. W. Boyer, for his patient toil and artistic ideals in directing the Club; Mr. Chambers, the manager, for his business brain in connection with his ' ultra basso ; and Mr. Wilbur Royer, the accompanist and soloist, for his keen and interesting interpretation. THE orchf:stra The far-reaching developments of 2 I. C. s music department is no more manifest anywhere than in the incorporation of the orchestra as one of the permanent courses of tliat department. This action has raised the orcliestra from merely a pasttime amuse- ment to be participated in just when one felt like it, to a standard of improvement in which every one takes a keen interest to develop the talents which do not onh ' bless himself but also those around him. This has had much effect upon the efforts put forth b} ' each member of the orchestra to make it a iDetter aggregation worth} ' of a pjiace in the assets of the school. Besides the accomplishments attained by the individual members in bettering the orchestra, there have been added new members of good talent and experience which at the same time enlarge its composition and variation of the kind of instruments. This growing spirit and enthusiasm has had its effect upon the private students under Professors Hoff and Garrett in as much as it has encouraged those who have not played before to take up the study of an instrument and those who are playing to work harder in order to c|ualify for membership. The school spirit has been considerably quickened and tempered by the harmony emanating from the assemblage of instruments and the programs given at the chapel are wonderfully enriched by the overtures of the orchestra. We are expecting a far greater improvement next ) ' ear for most of the orchestra are expecting to be back which will furnish a splendid foundation upon which to build, yea greater opportunities and possibilities will be open to them.

It awakens the finer sensibilities which can develop only through appreciation of good music. !Many study it, not from a professional standpoint, but that they may be able to know and select good music from the great amount of worthless and cheap compositions with which modern music counters are covered. There is more to good music than a colored titlepage. The lusic Department touches school life from many angles, such as literary programs, lectures, debates and athletic contests. Some of the best known groups are the Glee Clubs, Choral Society and Orchestra. They are formed not only for individual training, but as a means of adding interest and entertainment to various school programs, and furthermore, they make convenient ways of getting in touch with surrounding communities. Private instruction in voice and piano has appealed to more students than ever before, and the new departments of Violin and Cornet are serving to train students for a greater appreciation of instrumental and orchestral music. During the year several private recitals were given, open only to students of music. The programs were representative of all Departments, making varied selections possible and giving splendid training for public work. The Annual Public Recital will be given later in the Spring. Prof. Boyer and his corps of teachers are giving careful attention and hard work toward the betterment and enlargement of the Music Department. MANCHESTER CHORAL SOCIETY Some of the best and most appreciated programs of the eur have been furnished by the Choral Society. Last year during Commencement week an Oratorio, The Holy Cit} composed by Alfred R. Gaul, was rendered b} ' the Society and Orchestra under the direction of Prof. B. F. Wampler. A full house and appreciative audience passed many compliments on the entire production especially since all the solo parts were well handled b}- home members of the Societ} . On January 21, 1922, a sacred Cantata entitled Ruth the Moabitess written by J. Astor Broad was given in costume. It was without doubt the largest production that the Choral Society has yet given. All of the characters were garbed so as to represent in full the Jewish setting of the story. The dramatization, an original feature, was arranged and prepared by Mrs. ' ampler. This added much to the general success of the evening program. The organization of the Society makes it possible for any one who desires, to become an active member even though not a student in school and in this wav many of the music lovers of the cit)- have an opportunity of entering and taking part in some of the best musical literature of all time. M The Spirit of Time As t ie ' Sipmi of Passing Events 1 invade all life. 1 Exist only in the minds of men and in terms of me is he forced to think, if he think at all. I am man ' s only means of measuring progress. Of all Spirits you will desire most to hold me, hut of all Spirits, I am least to he retained. I have heard that at times some people claim to have retained me and with my passing they number no more years; yet even with them, 1 pass onward. There is Jio escape from me, even by the most bnl- liant of people—the College Student. Though, iyi a moment of rapture, he woidd hold me forever, yet 1 move onward and make that mornent only a mark by which he can measure my flow. I bring the Snows of Winter, the terror of examinatioyi, the despair of failure, the greenness of Freshmen, the displeasure of the pro- fessors and my passing is welcomed. 1 bring also the joys of Springtime, the thrill of groiving hiowledge, the dignity of Seniors and I would be retained. 1 have no beginning, and no ending, no altering and no return- ins.

I build up what the daily grind of life ' s tasks tear down. 1 in- still into the careworn individual, new strength, new vigor and new inspiration. Through me the aged ex- perience anew the pleasures of their childhood days, the middleaged forget their cares and perplexities, and the young enjoy to the fullest the exhilaration of youth. Fair play is my motto. I frown upon all forms of cheating and unfairness. 1 promote teamwork and cooperation. The individual must sacrifice desire for personal glory and cooperate to promote the best interests of the team. I demonstrate the advantage of temperate habits and clean living. 1 develope the steady hand, the cool head, the keen eye and the iron nerve. 1 require the individual to think quickly and accurately in the most critical moments. I develope the fighting spirit and cause one to struggle desperately even in the face of defeat. 1 help people accept honor- able defeat without complaint or alibi. I insist that friendliness underlie all rivalry and compel opponents to give each other a square deal. 1 unify and weld together the group. I furiiish the cord that binds the individuals of the group together, that makes all hearts throb in vmison, that makes all voices cheer together. ' Through me opposing factions forget their differences and unite in one great loyal band. I am the true Spirit of Athletics. May my true meaning be made known and may my spiiit permeate Athletics everyivhere. THE ATHLETIC ASSOCL TION The Manchester College Athletic Association, or in simplfied ABC form, known as the M. C. A. A., was organized in 1919. The constitution drafted and adopted at that time required that anyone signing said constitution and by-laws and paying the designated initiation fee was duly recognized as a full fledged member. Amend- ments have since been made to this effect: That anyone regularly enrolled in ]Man- chester College automatically becomes a member of the Association. Tlierefore our membership for 1921-22 has exceeded the D mark. The purpose of the Association is to nominate and elect the officers of the Association, the managers ' for track, tennis, baseball, and basket ball, and the official yell leaders. Under the direction of this corps of workers together with the Faculty- committee, physical director, and the unfailing loyalty and support of the student body, the athletics of M. C. are carried off with high honors.

C. BASKET BALL SEASON By December, 1921, Manchester College ' s basket ball squad began to show- excellent form and the student body began to realize that this year the} were going to see some real basket ball. School spirit grew and grew until Coach Stauli ' er had the support of every student — win or lose. Manchester ' s schedule this year was undoubtedly the stiffest in her Ijasket ball experience, including games with Indiana University, DePauw, Butler, the Dentals, and other fast squads. At first some thought that Manchester was stepping out of her class, but before many games had been played everyone began to realize that !M. C. s squad could hold up her head with the best of them. This year ' s squad consisted of twelve men, eight of whom were College Freslimen. These Freshmen deserve special credit for the lighting spirit they displayed in practice as well as in regular games. Coach Stauffer is to be congratulated on the spirit of good-feeling and co-operation his men manifested throughout the entire season. Perhaps the greatest compliment that could be paid to the team would be the fine sportsmanship they extended to the opposing team, whether in victory or defeat. Credit must be given to the yell leaders, ' Jack , Red , and Waldo , for the part they pla} ed in helping the squad thru to victory. It is safe to say that this year Manchester } elled as she had never } ' elled before. The season closed March 11, 1922, with a total of eleven victories and six defeats. Look out for next year ' s Varsity Squad — they ' re going to be out to win. Go to it team — we ' re with you one and all. 162 _ 1. Laketon Independents — Nov. 30.

All girls interested were given a chance to play and with regular practice periods, some good teams were soon developed. Intercollegiate basket ball for girls was something new for Manchester and nothing great in that line was attempted. The girls did however play two fast games with Eluffton College, one at home and one at Bluffton. Although our girls lost both games by a narrow margin, every one agreed that they played splendid ball and made an excellent showing for the first year of intercollegiate work. Besides the regular College girls ' team, other teams were organized and much interest was manifested in their games with each other. Perhaps the most interesting of these games were the two between the Indiana team and the team representing the rest of the states. Both teams were supported by a strong body of rooters and state loyalty ran high. Indiana was fortunate enough to win both although the scores were ver) ' close. Snappy games such as these kept the interest in girls ' basket ball running high throughout the season. 11 Front Row — Left ro Right — Sines, Sonnfrank, Baker. Back Row — Zendt, Smith.

STUDENT PARTICIPATION IN BASKET BALL In order to give all the men who were interested in basket ball an opportunity to play, a number of teams were organized among the fellows of the school. Any man wishing to play was given the opportunity of being a member of one of these teams. Each team chose a name and then played each other preparatory to the final tournament. Considerable rivalry was worked up between the different teams and large crowds attended some of the games. This system is very successful in permitting all interested students to engage in this form of athletics. The students receive the necessary recreation and the final tournament furnishes a goal toward which they can work. In addition to benefitting the students as individuals it develops all the possible basket ball ability so that future Varsity Squad men are always being developed. Also men who are preparing to teach in higli schools where they may be asked to be the coach of the basket ball team, are given an opportunity of doing some actual playing where they can study the game first hand. These games disprove the criticism that athletics in college benefit the few ' arsity players only, while the bulk of the student body are given no opportunity of participating. M. C. TRACK AND FIELD WORK Manchester College has never had a regular track team to participate in intercollegiate meets. It is not because we have no material for a team, for we have several men who have had experience in track work and many o ' .hers from whom a competent track team might be picked. For the past few years M. C. has had to content herself with an inter-class or inter-society meet once each spring, because of the lack of a running track. It is practically impossible to train a team for inter-collegiate track meets without the use of a good track. The . thletic , ssociation has almost a full equipment for track and field wo rk with the exception of the cinder path. For next year ' s track work we have the promise of either a four or eight-up standard cinder track on which the men can start to running very early and Manchester College ought to have a winning track team as she has winning teams in other lines of athletics. The new track will furnish an excellent opportunity for many to get their daily exercise during the fall and spring terms. We look forward to next year as the year JIanchester will make herself known in the track work of the state as she is known in the Basket-ball circles.

BASEBALL ? Ianchester hus never uttained a high phice in the baseball circles as yet. Here- tofore her diamond has net been very satisfactory and the team was thus handicapped in her practice work. This spring, however, the diamond is being re-made and we have strong hopes for future baseball work. With many experienced men on hand, prospects seem good for a winning team this spring. For this spring there are six games arranged for, with several others pending. The summer students also organize a team and play various schools. The team last summer was quite successful in her games. SCHEDULE (At) Concordia -. Manchester Manchester Manchester Muncie Tri State .... Datf Apr. Apr. Apr.

ACADEMY BASEBALL The Aciideniy students liuve organized a baseball team as well as the college students. Last spring the_ ' played several outside games with neighboring high schools. Much interest was manifested last fall in the games between the two academy literary- societies, the Lincoln team and the Adelphian team. This spring no outside games have been scheduled thus far although the Lincolns and Adelphians will probably continue their rivalry for baseball honors. The Academy team deserves credit for putting up as good a team as they do, considering the fact that they have very little coaching and their practice periods are irregular because of the preference given to the college team. In spite of these handicaps the Academv takes much interest in its team and are quite lo} al in their support of it. Katsunii, Stauffer, Lehnier, Winger.

TENNIS For giving the proper exercise to all the parts of the body and supplying interesting pleasure there is practically no game among those played at college that exceeds tennis. Only a limited number of students can play baseball and basketball, the two other leading games played at Manchester, but tennis is not exclusive, and more play this game than any other. Quite a bit of tennis is played in the fall but more is played in the spring. Perhaps this is due to the fact that the bright spring weather practically compels one to play, and he is rather inhuman who has no desire to partake in wholesome play under such conditions. There are eight tennis courts on the campus but when the weather is good it is difficult to find one that is unoccupied, for this reason the college is planning the construction of a number of others; and it might be said that she cannot make a safer investment for the needs and desires of the students. As competition is the spice of life so it is competition that makes tennis or any other athletic game spicy. Judging from the character of the other schools which Manchester has competed against in the past one would sa} ' that her tennis matches have been spicy enough. The Manchester team made an excellent showing last year, having had matches with nine leading schools of the state, a numljei of these matches being included in the normal schedules of the Indiana Athletic League and State tournaments. Enthusiasts are hoping that the team will continue her good work and come out ahead again this year. Thus far matches have been arranged with Indiana University, Wabash College, and Earlham College, on May the sixth, April the twenty- ninth, and May the thirteenth respectively. Our prospects for other matches have by no means been exhausted. As Manchester College went into it last year with a determination to gain recognition, so she is going into it this year to hold that recogni- tion and to gain new laurels. WHY ]-:VERV STUDENT SHOl ' IJ) TAKE PHYSICAL EDUCATION Twentieth century education consists of a four fold development : The moral, the social, the mental, the physical. No college graduate can claim to be fully prepared for the duties of life if he has not taken advantage of the opportunities for the development of the four fold life. Physical culture takes its place on a par with other phases of development, for without it the student is sluggish, slow, lacks alertness, and is incapable of maximum efficiency in scholastic attainment. Furthermore, he loses the individual social contact which comes through association with one ' s fellows in recreation. Physical culture is indispensable to the student because it enervates life, stimulates ' ambition, develops manhood and furnishes a basic foundation for complete develop- ment.

TRANSCRIPT MYTH OF THE CREATION OF WOMAN In the beginning, when Taushtrai came to the cre- ation of woman, he found that he had exhausted his materials in the making of man, and that no solid elements were left. In this profound dilemna, after profound meditation he did as follows: He took tlie rotundity of the moon, and the curves of the creepers, and the clinging of tendrils, and the trem- bling of grass, and the slendemess of the reed, and the bloom of tlie flowers, and the lightness of leaves, and die timidity of the hare, and the vanity of the peacock, and the clustering of rows of bees, and the joyous gaiety of sunbeams, and the weeping of clouds, and the fickleness of the winds, and the soft- ness of the parrot ' s bosom, and the hardness of ada- mant, and the sweetness of honey, and the cruelty of the tiger, and the warm glow of fire, and the coldness of snow, and the chattering of jays, the crane, and the fidelity of a chakrauka, and then compounding all these together, he made woman and gave her to man. But after one week, man came to him aiid said : Lord, this creature that you have given me makes my life miserable. She chatters incessantly and teases me beyond endurance, never leaving me alone ; and she requires incessant attention, anu taKes all my time up, and cries about nothing, and is always idle ; and so I have come to give her back again, as I cannot live with her. So Taushtrai said : Very well ; and he took her back. Then after another week man came to him again and said : Lord, I find that my life is very lonely since I gave you back that creature. I remember how slie used to dance and sing to me. and look at me out of the corner of her eye, and play with me, and cling to me: and her laughter was music, and she was beautiful to look at, and soft to touch ; so give her back to me again. So Traushtrai said; Very well, and gave her back again. Then after only three days, man came back to him and said : Lord, I know not how it is; but after all I have come to the conclusion that she is more of a trouble tlian a pleasure to me. But Taushtrai said : Out with you, be off. I will have no more of this. You must manage how you can. Then man said ; But I cannot live with her. And Tuashtrai replied : Neither could you live without her, and he turned his back on man, and went on with his work. Then man said : What is to be done ? For I cannot live either with her or without her, ■¥.:¥.■¥.■¥. -H .

DONTSTDP 181 Il ' TRANSPORTATION j A Gateway to Progress There it stands — a simple forty-foot gateway but unlike any other in theentire world. Through it have come many of the engineering ideas that have made this an electrical America. The story of electrical development beginsintheResearch Laboratories. Here the ruling spirit is one of knowledge — truth — rather than immediate practical results. In this manner are established new theories — tools for futureuse — which sooner or later find ready application. The great industries that cluster around Niagara Falls, the electrically driven battleships, the trolley cars and electrified railwaysthatcarrymillions, the lamps that glow in homes and streets, the householdconveniencesthathaverelieved women of drudgery, the labor-savingelec- trical tools of factories, all owe their ex- istence, partly at least, totheco-ordinated efforts of the thousands who daily stream through this gateway.
