BcMtattmt As the aurora of morning first sheds its radiant rays across a world of darkness, so may our dear Alma Mater help bear the light of peace and good-will across a world of strife. To this noble work which we hold as our highest privilege in life and to the refining characteristics of tolerance, loyalty, and sympathy which are the basis of such work and which we find personified in the life of Dr. M. M. Sherrick, we, the class of ' 28, hereby dedicate our record of the past year.

Vice-President-Treasurer ®p Jjfotfotng program for 1926-1927 During the past year Manchester College has had in progress the greatest building program in the history of the institution. In all about $150,000 has been expended for new buildings and equipment. This improvement will mean a great deal for every student who attends Manchester College. The first building completed was the College Library. The building formerly known as Science Hall, a beautiful and well built structure, was converted into a new library. A fire proof addition built on the north end of the old Science Hall furnishes stock room capacity for 60,000 volumes. The basement furnishes room for storage of magazines and also for a book repair shop. The large reading rooms will accommodate more than one hundred fifty students at once. This building was dedicated on December 10, 1926. Dr. Henry N. Sherwood and Supt. Chas. Miller were the principal speakers. The Gymnasium Auditorium is the largest building ' erected during the year. On the main floor is a large basket ball playing floor with room for bleachers that will accommodate five hundred spectators. This floor makes a large space for physical education. The Auditorium is seated with 1,700 opera chairs. The moving picture machine, given by the Class of 1926, is already in operation. The basement is well equipped with showers and dressing rooms for both men and women. The entire cost of the building and equipment will be about $60,000. This means was furnished largely by the alumni, students, and business men of North Manchester. Prof. J. W. Wiles of Ohio State University gave the dedicatory address for the gymnasium while Dr. C. C. Ellis of Juniata College was chief speaker at the dedication of the Auditorium. The Ladies ' Home has been more than doubled in size by the new building. The general plan is a duplication of the old building with a center joining the two. About sixty new rooms will be added. Center union provides for a large parlor and for a women ' s chapel. The base- ment provides two large dining halls, ample kitchen room, and store rooms. When fully completed Manchester will have one of the largest and best buildings of its kind to be found anywhere. This year a new heating plant has been installed which furnishes adequate service for all buildings. Large additions were made to the Physics department. A Social Center for students has been provided. Much credit is due to Dr. L. D. Ikenberry for his efficient direction of the building program. B Page Eighteen Z pssss.: m A. W.

Its members are chosen from all the major activities of the school, some serving ex-officio while others are elected for the special purpose of representing some student interest in campus legislation. It is through this medium that the student body collectively or individually has an opportunity to give expression to opinions regarding the social life of the school. This is only the second year for student government at Manchester and, in order that its foundation might be strong, progress has necessarily been slow. It is hoped, however, that through capable leadership and direction it may win for itself a permanent place on the campus, respected equally by students and faculty. Page Sixty-eight ■■ Xf, ' ' J1 Sarahart, Garter, Gump, Wolfe. Shlvely, Bby. Che bibeut Court It seems to be a fact that wherever there are laws there will be some folks who will break them. This is true even at Manchester. Therefore, the Associated Student Body maintains, as a part of its organization, a Student Court. In this way student offenders are dealt with by fellow students who make an honest effort to adequately reflect the prevailing student senti- ment with regard to mis-conduct. The Student Court is an entirely ex-officio body, being made up of the presidents of the seven most prominent organizations of the campus. In spite of the fact that few students know much about the Court ' s activities, there is a general respect for it that augurs its permanent existence.

They showed conclusively that the work which is now being done by Federal Aid would be much more efficient if problems of national importance were completely controlled by the Federal Government, and problems of local interest were handled by the State Governments. The teams, captained by Carl Byerly and Elmer Royer, debated alternately. They had what seemed to be the impossible side of the question, but with Coach Conkling ' s untiring efforts and help, they closed the season with only one defeat in four contests. On February 26, the Byerly brigade opened the season in a struggle with the strong Butler College team and received a tie decision. In the second debate on March 11, the Huntington College team was vanquished by the Royer crew. On March 14, the polished Taylor University orators were met and disposed of, and the only defeat of the season came on March 17 at the hands of the experienced Earlham College debaters. fa Page Seventy-two m Stoner, D.

The teams debated alternately under the leadership of Captains Stoner and Kendall. The Negative Teams wish to express their appreciation to Prof. Conkling for his inspirational coach- ing. Although the season was not as successful in regard to decisions as it might have been, every Negative debater gave his best for his Alma Mater. -« p (Dnttnru STATE ORATORICAL CONTEST This year Manchester has played an admirable part in Intercollegiate Activities. The State Oratorical Contest ' .vac no exception. Mr. Benjamin Stoner represented Manchester in the state contest at Evansville with his commendable oration on Japan. Mr. Stoner ' s oration was filled with good sense and sound judgment, and it represented his best effort. It was an excellent production and it was delivered in a very persuasive manner. INTERCOLLEGIATE PEACE CONTEST Miss Josephine Chapman represented Manchester in the Intercollegiate Peace Contert which was held at Butler College. The title of her oration was Disarmament and Militarism. It was full of good thought, and she rendered it in a particularly pleasing and delightful manner. Miss Chapman is to be commended for her accomplishment for rarely do we find freshmen taking part in intercollegiate oratory. « Page Seventy-four m cM i ssuriattnu OFFICERS Della Lehman, President Benjamin Stoner, Vice President Margaret Gump, Secretary m The M Association is an organization, the members of which have received the official Manchester College M in recognition of services in the fields of athletics or forensics. The purpose of the organization is to develop an interest on the Manchester College campus in these fields and to further intercollegiate contests in the same, to uphold in all contests the principles and ideals for which Manchester stands, and to help in those activities which promote these ideals. During Commercement week the M Association Banquet is held at which both former and active members are present. While the accomplishments of the association are not so tangible, yet it does exert considerable influence both on and off the campus.

It has been the purpose of this organization to uphold the high ideals of the college and publish only those articles which are constructive in their nature. This paper attempts to keep the alumni and other friends of the college informed of the happenings on the campus. We have had many letters from these folks saying, We are lost without Oak L°aves in our home. It is hoped that in the near future Oak Leaves can be made a weekly paper. When this is done we believe it will be of more use to M. C. than it has been in the past. Page Seventy-seven ck Row — C. Shull.

Campus that it is essentially composed of a small group of earnest, sincere, thinking students who are thoroughly interested in the affairs and relations incidental to human living in the past, present, and future. By meeting only every two weeks, by making the club a non-compulsory attendance activity, by emphasizing the social side of the club ' s existence, and by encouraging individual response by means of discussion groups, the club has made its achievements in a measure, the full value of which cannot be estimated immediately. Such an extra-curricular activity as this promotes the general interest of the student in his work, and contributes directly to the up-building of the campus life. m Page Eig ity-eig it Glen Cocanoutr Science (Clnh (Chi Sigma) PRESIDENTS Daniel Rinehart After having established a permanent and prominent place on the campus, the Science Club is functioning well as an organization. Its purpose is to promote more interest and enthusiasm in the fields of science and mathematics, and programs along thesj lines are given every two weeks. The club is composed only of individuals who a:e especially interested in these scientific fields. This year the club has communicated with similar organizations of other colleges and sug- gestions mutually helpful have been exchanged. During the year interesting and helpful lectures have been given by Dr. Holl and Professors Morris, Kintner, and Dotterer.

The Choral is not as restrictive in its membership as the College Quartets or Glee Clubs, yet its members receive experience which can not be obtained in either of these activities. Many students who need and want singing ex- perience do not have time to enter the Quartets or Glee Clubs, and that was one reason for the organization of the Choral Society. In 1922-1923 the Choral was organized, but from then until this year it had been carried on without the direction of a staff. This year a President, Vice-President, and Secretary-Treasurer was elected. With Professor Daniel W. Boyer as Director and Professor Martina Dejong at the piano, the Choral was able to give two concerts this year; the first was a Christmas Cantata The Holy Infant — F. F. Budlard, the second was The Rose Maiden by Frederick Cowan. The membership this year numbered 115, an increase of 35 over last year, but yet there are many students in College who fail to grasp the opportunities the Choral will afford them. ;f : s fn Page One Hundred Fifteen Pave One Hundred Sixteen M. flL 3.

These girls meet on Tuesday and Thursday of each week for practice. This year an extended trip through Southern Ohio is planned for the spring vacation, besides week-end programs in middle Indiana. The girls are a happy bunch and carry the Manchester spirit wherever they go. Page One Hundred Nineteen Mertz.

Boyer, the quartet owes the degree of suc- cess it has attained because of his untiring efforts to train, ' his unique methods of directing, and his beautiful interpretation of Music. The Girl ' s Quartet in company with the Men ' s Quartet plan to give programs over various parts of the country during the spring months. The members of the Quartet are: Sara Mertz, first soprano; Esther Dohner, second soprano; Ruby Deardorff, first aito; Ruth Cunningham, second alto.

They strive to uphold the highest standards and ideals of music by always putting before their audience the best recognized compositions. The work in the orchestra is beneficial to the players as well as enjoyable to its hearers. The opening of the Lecture Course numbers by the Orchestra was always well accepted and enjoyed. The Second Annual Concert was given February 4, 1927. The general work of the orchestra showed a vast improvement over the work of previous years, particularly in its inter- pretation and colorful effects throughout the programs. The success of the orchestra is due in great part to the wielding of the baton under the able hand of Conductor Lloyd M. Hoff.

This year the band was organized and under its constitution it has advanced somewhat over what it was last year and the year before. Due to the limited number of musicians available for the band, it, of necessity, has been small. With a growing interest and with sufficient new material, next year ' s band should be much stronger and a more efficient organization. Under the very efficient leadership of Paul T. Garrett, the members have been able to render many spirited and classical selections. They have played at the football and basket ball games and their performing has been an asset to our school spirit. V% Page One Hundred Twenty-three. Befoye Afie Page One Hundred Twenty-four Mjkfes c With the increased enrollment and the accompanying building program of M. C. during the past few years came the necessity for better facilities for a properly conducted Physical Education program. The first manifestation of such a realization came with the purchase of our new Athletic Field down by the river. This field provided the school with a well laid out baseball diamond, a level gridiron, and a cinder running track. The second step in the enlarging of the Physical Education program came last spring when Dr. Cordier and the Athletic Board started a drive for funds to build a new gymnasium- auditorium whose need was becoming imperative on our campus. How well they succeeded is well realized when one walks out back of the Goshorn Chemistry Hall and views the imposing edifice which had such a mushroom growth during the Fall months of 1926. A well-equipped gymnasium with separate departments for Men and Women, a large playing court for basket ball, a large stage with excellent lighting facilities, and an auditorium seating two thousand people, were provided by the addition of this building to the College properties.

Being only the second year of football as a recognized major sport no records were expected to be broken by the team. However, the spirit and interest shown satisfied even the most critical observer and from this standpoint the season was a great success.

Vincennes came, we saw, and Evans, with ten assistants, conquered. Score 33-0. At Muncie Manchester tasted first blood with Evans place- kicking from the twenty yard line. Muncie settled down to a rough and tumble game and the final score stood 19 to 3 in their favor. Mid-term exams made necessary a rejuvenated lineup l J c.ge One Hundred Twenty-nine for the Homecoming game. Manchester scored twice in the initial half but the men from Indianapolis came back strong to win by one point. At Danville next week the team made a creditable showing with Capt. Evans and the regular quarterback out with injuries.

Kmd J.Byerly Bethhld Callane Bowser Page One Hundred Thirty-one The minor sports include baseball, track and tennis. For these sports a smaller sized letter is awarded. Thirteen letters were awarded to football men at the close of the season. Four of these men graduate this spring. All are linemen of sterling caliber, but Coach Burt has promising reserves who will fill these vacancies with credit. The prospects are bright for a successful season in 192 7. OUR GALAXY OF ' 27 STARS— ALL BUT SNOW . m Page One Hundred T nriy-u :o Basketball The season of 192 6- ' 27 will long be remembered in basketball history at Manchester. With last year ' s varsity back to a man, Coach Staufter prepared for the hardest schedule in the history of the school. The season opened with four victories, including one from Wittenberg, (O.), and two from the highly touted quintet from Ohio University. Wabash gave us our first defeat of the season at Crawfordsville. Then, after submerging Kalamazoo Normal and Rose Poly- technic under heavy scores, Indiana Central pulled the David and Goliath act and won from us at Indianapolis. A few weeks later we found revenge to be sweet when we handed both Wabash and Indiana Central sound punishment and sent them home humiliated. Franklin had the onlv team which withstood the attack of the Dunkers without losing its scalp. During the season Manchester played seventeen games, winning twelve and losing five, twice to Franklin, once to Wabash, once to Indiana Central and once to Kalamazoo. Franklin was the only team to defeat the Black and Gold on its home floor in two years. Eight men were awarded letters, three of whom are to be graduated this spring. However, the outlook for next year is particularly encouraging with Coach Stauffer directing a wealth of talent which may well be expected to form itself into a winning team worthy of superlative ranking.

He is the comedian of the quintet. His pivots, wild eyes, and pulled faces combined with his brilliant generalship and floorwork make him a popular, as well as a stellar member of the Dunker Five. Bill Bryan, steady, consistent and reliable, has played his last game for his Alma Mater. He filled the floor- guard ' s position to perfection.

He also leaves us this year with three service stripes and a hard vacancy to fill. Snow Evans, with tousled hair and a fighting spirit, keeps up the old scrap when others lose their offensive drive. He generally scores the first basket and goes thru for more when they are needed. Pete Byerly has that uncanny sens; of location which makes him a formidable utility man who can score from most any position at any stage of the game.

The next match, with De Pauw, came out a tie with the score at three all. The other matches on the schedule had to be recalled on account of the weather conditions. A summary of the season credits Kraning with winning both his single matches while Winger, Longenecker, and Berkebile broke even with one win and one lose. In the doubles, Winger paired with Kraning to win both matches while Necker and Berkv had the tough luck to lose both their matches bv close scores. Page One Hundred Thirty-seveti tErack Track and Field Work has never received much emphasis at Manchester but this fact did not keep us from sending a well coached and trained track team to Muncic where they competed with Muncie Normal and Indiana Central in a track and field meet between the three colleges. The showing made was a creditable one although a weakness was shown in the field events. Manchester scored heavy in the track events but failed to place in any of the field events except the discus throw. Muncie won the meet with a score of 5 8 points while Indiana Central and Manchester tied with a score of 25 points each. A summary of the events credits Kennedy with winning first place in the 100 yard dash and second place in the 220. Bowser took first in the 220, and third in the 100. Holderman won the mile run in four-fifty five. Evans placed third in the 440. And Logan added a point to the M. C. total by placing third in the discus throw. At the first meet of the Indiana Relavs which was held at Danville, May S, Manchester had one man to place in the only event for which we could qualify. Holderman placed fourth in the mile run. The other representatives of Manchester were eliminated in the preliminaries. With the addition of the new Athletic Field and the running track, as well as the new gymnasium and other facilities and equipment we may expect more emphasis to be placed on this field of athletic endeavor. P S Page One Hundred Thirty-eight Infra-mural Sports Carl Burt, Director Lorin Evans, Asst. Director M The Intramural Sport schedule is one of the most interesting features of the school year. This branch of athletics is open to all students except varsity players and fills an important place in the physical training program of the College. During the past year the interest displayed in this field demonstrates the worth-whileness of this branch of the Athletic Department. Four tournaments were held with a total of forty-three teams entered, and nearly three hundred students participated in the contests. Basketball and Volleyball received the best support but the Indoor- Baseball tournament indicated that this sport will perhaps be the most popular when the next season comes around. Besides the four indoor tournaments, each spring an elimination tourna- ment is held among the tennis fans. The members of the winning teams in each branch of Intramural Athletics are presented with medals at the close of the season. We are sorry to announce that it has been impossible for the Aurora Staff to secure photographs of the winning teams. BASKETBALL BOYS Seventeen teams were entered in this tournament. In a few weeks the leaders had demon- strated themselves to be the Pirates, Kentucky Ramblers, P. O. S., and Wild Cats with Darwin ' s Inspirations and the Rough Riders following closely behind. The Collegians came to an untimely end and the Inspirations upset the dope several times but the finals found the P. O. S. mixing with the Kentucky Ramblers. After a hard fought game the Ramblers emerged victorious. BASKETBALL GIRLS The girls had some trouble getting organized and their tourney started off with only five entries. The Rinkey Dinks and Independents soon proved their superiority while Bobbie Long ' s Fighting Lions were eliminated after a closely contested battle with the Rinkies. In the final game Rachael Collins ' Independents triumphed over the hard fighting Rinkey Dinks led by Mary Robbins. VOLLEYBALL While fourteen teams entered the volleyball tournament the interest soon centered itself in the P. O. S., the faculty team masquerading under the nom de plume Has-beens, the Mexicans, and the D. O. D. ' s. The Has-beens and the P. O. S. proved to be the cream of their respective brackets and in the final games the P. O. S. came up from behind to win by the close score of three to two. INDOOR BASEBALL Indoor baseball this spring manifested itself to be as full of excitement as the regular outdoor game. The season ' s games were all thrillers and the interest shown proves that indoor baseball has been established as a game worthy of the efforts of any man. Mr. Burt plans to enlarge and stress this branch of sport next spring. Seven strong teams were entered this year but the P. O. S., for the third time, and the Has-beens, for the second time, came thru to play in the finals. In an overtime game replete with big-league thrills Burt came home with the winning run for the faculty ' . S Page One Hundred. Thirty-nine WJSggZ MiMDZZSZ y . . With the addition of the new gymnasium came the opportunity and necessity for a more extended physical education program for the girls as well as the boys. Physical Education Director Burt filled this need by providing drill work, pyramid building, calisthenics, and various other exercises for the development and recreation of the body. Besides teaching the girls these exercises Mr. Burt also put the young ladies through the course so that they could qualify as coaches and physical education directors for girls in the high school. The results justified the effort put forth and the young ladies are enthusiastic about the course as it is now offered.

What it means to classes of future years, we have already experienced, but what it means to us, cannot be expressed in mere words. To others it surely means nothing more than a day of sport, — a day when college cares and worries may be forgotten, but to those who will soon leave the college walls, its significance is of an entirely different nature. To them it means the formation of closer friendships, a better understanding of life ' s realities, and the welding of a more perfect unity to meet the situations of life, — the fuller life, in which Manchester College expects the best from each loyal son and daughter.

Oh, how I love the name! Manchester College! Go, spread abroad her fame, Manchester College! is just the place to be. Manchester College! is just the place for me! These words thrilled the hearts of many former M. C. students and friends on our second Annual Homecoming day. Although this event is comparatively new we consider it as one of the high spots of a college year. In spite of the adverse weather conditions crowds of people kept coming and going over the campus all day. The dinner hour brought an opportunity for creating a genuine spirit of fellowship. Old memories, acquaintances, and events of college days were refreshed, renewed, and retold. Oldtime pranks were called to mind and enjoyed again. Our visitors were very much interested in the new improvements about the campus. The girls ' dormitory, library, gymnasium-auditorium, and the social room were subjects of decided interest. These indications of growth and preparation for bigger and better service only strengthen the bonds between our Alma Mater and her sons and daughters. In the afternoon the football enthusiasts witnessed the game with Indiana Central. Spirit ran high all through the game, but the end was a one point victory for I. C. We hope this tradition will ever be an event of joy to those who love dear old M. C. Page One Hundred Forty-five f W JRetet Retreat commonly means to go backward, but the Y. W. C. A. Cabinet takes a retreat each year in order to advance the Y. W. to a greater position of service on our campus. Early last fall the cabinet, with Mrs. Harold Wolfe acting as advisor, withdrew to Camp Mack for a day and a half. The aims and the ideals of the Asscoiation were seriously considered, and a new policy was formulated. The program for the year was outlined both according to content and procedure. The girls had an enjoyable time learning to know each other as well as becoming familiar with Y work. The meditative hours that were spent around the fireplace at Camp Mack are never to be forgotten. Kl f «gt Jtetrart Every organization needs to have definite aims and ambitions for carrying out its plans The Y is no exception. Each vear as soon after school begins as possible, the men who are definitely responsible for the Y. M. C. A. go to some quiet place, away from the rush of the campus, and formulate the policies for the coming year. This year ' s retreat at Camp Dick Runvan was exceptional in several ways. The friendships formed were such as to be remembered for a lifetime. Each fellow put his best into the work and much was accomplished. We also were fortunate in having with us Supt. Scudder of Huntington, who was an inspiration and guid;. Above everything, there was an approach to God that overshadowed every other experience. m Page One Hundred Forty-six (JHoilfsr ' s anfr Baxtgljter p tuptet Over four hundred mothers and daughters enjoyed the Annual Y.

SHAKESPEARE UP-TO-DATE There was Much Ado About Nothing a few nights ago when the Kings, Henry VII John, and Richard HI had a Midsummer Night ' s Dream that Two Gentlemen of Verona raised a tempest because Titus Adronicus, Hamlet, Coriolonus and Macbeth were calling on the Merry Wives of Windsor on the Twelfth Night. Othello and Cymbe- line, Romeo and Juliet and Anthony and Cleopatra promptly stepped into the breach and tried to stop the quarrel. However, it seemed as if it was a case of Love ' s Labour Lost, for the Comedy of Errors kept on. To cap the climax, the Merchant of Venice ar- rived and demanded Measure for Measure. Finally Pericles started a peace conference and succeeded in Taming the Shrew. This is quite a Winter ' s Tale. All ' s Well that Ends Well, however, and we hope that this entire Aurora has been As You Like It.

A large amount of fresh meat may be prepared for market and kept on display by means of the modern display counters that have been recently installed in the market. slaughter. The entire fresh meat supply of the college dining hall is supplied by Lautzenhiser ' s Market, which is evidence of the fact that it is given the best of care. Mr. Lautzenhiser and Mr. Leffel are the proprietors, both of them giving their entire time to the operation of the market on Main Street. Mr. Leffel has a son, Meredith, who is a student of M. C. and whom we all know. The Lawrence National Bank, under the guiding hand of Mr. Domer, has acquired a well earned reputation for be- ing one of the most staple, and reliable banking institutions to be found. Associated with Mr. Domer, President, are Mr. Miller, Vice President, and Mr. Dewey, Cashier, who are men of tried and proved business caliber. Shrewd in business calculations and always conservative in time of speculation this banking institution has been able to secure and hold public confidence during the 45 years of its existence.

Mr. York has been in the dry goods business for twenty- four years previous to his coming to this city and he has been in business here for the past five years. His success is the greatest criterion for judging his past.

It is the Seminary of the Church of the Brethren, and as such, offers the fol- lowing unique advantages to those preparing for work in our denomination: (1) A Bible-centered curriculum for a Bible-centered people; (2) Methods, courses and practical training adapted to the situation and needs of the Church ; (3) The opportunity for wide acquaintance with the present leaders of the Church ; (4) Fellowship with students from all sections of the Brotherhood, repre- senting practically all the church colleges. The Seminary seeks to encourage a spirit of freedom in the search for truth, and with it an appreciation of the genius of the Church and a loyalty to her ideals. No ivork is of greater importance than Christian work. No service merits more thoroughgoing preparation. The time and effort spent in a Seminary Course multi- plies itself in the increased capacitv for rendering service. We cannot expect God ' s best unless we offer Him our best.

Mr. Gilbert has made his place of business attractive and pleasant for students. After the game, after the lecture, after the play, it is Jim who serves us hot sandwiches and ice cream. His hot lunches are both satisfying and economical and many students make the Inn a regular boarding place at a very reasonable cost. Mr. Gilbert is our friend and booster in all school activities. When there is a game, he is there; when a play is given, he is there; when a lyceum number is an- nounced, behold he is there. We owe him our support.

In turn, it is our duty to support him in his business. Page One Hundred Eighty-one 3 B. OPPENHEIM COMPANY Oppenheim ' s is North Manchester ' s largest store. One-half of the store dis- plays a complete stock of men ' s togs, and the other half ladies ' apparel and dry goods. During 1926 the store celebrated its 50th anniversary. The quality of merchandise and the excellent treatment of customers are the magnetic forces of Oppenheim ' s business house. The large display windows in the front of the store are a recent improvement which add a great deal to its attractiveness. The store was established in 1876 by J.

His place of business is the most modern one of its kind in the city. He has a beautiful, modern salesroom and when it is dotted with new Chevrolets, in- cluding Landaus, Coupes, and Sedans, it is still more attractive. One has only to observe the large percentage of Chevrolets in North Man- chester ' s car population to realize the volume of business done by the Leedy Motor Company during its short career in this city. The mechanics at Leedy ' s are automobile experts and when your car is repaired by them you have the satisfaction that accompanies perfect workmanship. Besides Chevrolet Cars, Mr. Leedy sells Day Fan Radios and all kinds of auto repairs. For his help we are grateful. Page One Hundred Eighty-three GEO. N.

The delivery truck adds a great deal to the service of the shop. Kramer ' s customers are pleased and college students who are particular are given a special welcome to his plant. His equipment is the most modern of its kind, therefore he is able to give the best service. He calls for and delivers work. Mr. Kramer will clean anything but a guilty conscience, and he gives all back but the dirt. E. P. PAUL, Furniture and Undertaking Mr. Paul is one of our business men who has not been with us so long.
