Manchester College - Aurora Yearbook (North Manchester, IN)

Text from Pages 1 - 184 of the 1934 volume:

We wish we had a romantic story about how the idea for the 1934 Aurora was born, as, for instance, that it suddenly dawned on us as we watched a glowing autumnal sun drop beneath silhouetted trees, or that it flashed through our mind as we listened to on inspiring rendition of Beethoven s Second Symphony. But no such luck. The plain, homely, almost cruel fact of the matter is that the 1934 Aurora was born in a res- taurant, and not a particularly inspiring restaurant at that. It was late, and the coffee v as too hot, and we were oil feeling a little ragged from being shut up in an office all day. Someone wondered why the sophomore class hadn ' t appointed a representative whom we could get to do the work for us, and we seemed to be doing a better job than usual griping about the astronomic figures demanded by printers and engravers for merely managing a few machines while we did all the work. What particularly bothered us that night was the huge outlay of dough required to put all that fancy art work in an annual, when we couldn ' t for the life of us see what it had to do with colleges, or 1934, or, for that matter, even the faculty. So then and there, when we were getting just about to the place A here we could see the grounds in the bottom of our coffee cup, we declared unanimously (all three of us) that the 1934 Aurora would be champion of the forgotten student, who hod long since been displaced by (we hesitate to say it) the perhaps more attractive tracings of a high-brow artist. So if we must bring this thing to such a lofty plane as to set forth a platform for the 1934 Aurora, it would have to read like this: WE HAVE TAKEN THE BOOK OUT OF THE ART DEPART- MENT OF THE INDIANAPOLIS ENGRAVING COMPANY AND BROUGHT IT BACK TO MANCHESTER COLLEGE. Not that we don t like artists, as such, or the particular artists of our engraver. We think artists ore, usually, very nice. But we like ourselves much better. And we feel that as long as we ' re laying down three bucks for this book, we should get three dollars worth of ego-expansion. So just to satisfy our innate love of publicity, we have packed all the pictures we could between these silver and block covers, and now, by and larg e, are a wee bit proud of the way we look . . . 1934 AURORA Last fall five fiundred and eigfity-one fiands waved In greeting, bogs tfiumped to the ground, dormitory keys creaked, and college began. they take vour name STUART VAN DYKE, Editor W.

LEISURE SECTION ONE SCHOOL PRESIDENT OTHO WINGER About the time that Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders charged up San Juan hiill, an energetic ambitious young man enrolled in Manchester College. Nine years after his graduation, Otho Winger was made president of his Alma Mater, and it was chiefly through his efforts that the Church of the Brethren in Indiana and Ohio as won for the college. Although he has always stood with the conservative in doctrine and appearance, Prexy has ever been the friend of the students, working for their interests and happy in their achievements. Wide-awake and active, he is never backward about taking hold of any task; he has done about everything around the college from sweeping halls to presiding over faculty meetings. Once they sent him abroad for a year of rest, but he came back with a book ready for the press. We are proud to be a part of an institution . . . the shadow of a great man ' . Carl W.

There must hove been a beginning, naturally, but as far bock as my memory reaches, the soul-stirring chords of the March of the Priests hove always aroused for me a mental picture of the stately tread of those be-robed gods and goddesses , seniors, in their supreme achievement — graduation! Different personalities, as the years passed, never seemed to change my picture of the graduation march. After years of observing the annual festivities incumbent to commencement time, the glory of seniority as an entity had become enshrined in my heart. It never occurred to me that such dignity was only external — just a mask for personalities. A senior was perfect and I did not question how he had become so. I cannot say that it was ever my ambition to be one of this bond of the wonder- ful, but this may have lurked in a misty corner of the undeveloped port of my brain, for I distinctly remember my perturbation when a schoolmate asked me what I in- tended doing after I was graduated from high school.. What, indeed? I ran to my mother for reassurance! What could one do, after high school — except to go to college? On the other hand, my ideals were shocked by the suggestion of a how-you- have-grown ' visitor, that Pretty soon little Miriam will be a senior, too! That vas probably the first intimation to my innocence of a connection between me and seniors! And this seed being planted in my imagination, brought forth unrest, for it seemed treasonous to think of such a thing — not because I had on inferiority complex. Ah, no! It was only my feeling that the abstract should not be sullied by contact with the concrete. Instead of my being glorified, the senior ideal in my mind had been somewhat deflated. Of course, my reactions were instinctive then; it is only in retrospection that I understand my repulsion. To me, some intangible influence seemed to transform commonplace persons into powerful dignitaries (so that even my own sister hod appeared regal), but it hod no connection with me. As a freshman, the awe and reverence for seniors increased by physical per- suasion. There was no doubt in my mind, perforce, that seniors v ere gods in human form. Great creatures, who spoke with familiarity about anthropomorphism and icositetrahedrons! More than that, they were intelligentsia supreme! Amazed, I gasped at their acceptance of teachers as equals — at their easy grasp of knowledge and at the surety with which they planned and executed all sorts of undertakings. They seemed to feel not only their own importance, but our insignificance — a feel- ing we shared. Now I am asked, Well, how does it feel to be a senior? And I am ashamed and a bit worried, at times, to admit that it doesn ' t feel at all. Disconcerted, at feeds, I notice that senior girls are just as silly as freshmen. Skipping down College Avenue, I stop aghast, wondering — Where is the proverbial dignity? I notice, surprised, that senior boys are still youngsters when baseball time comes. Yet — although it means the destruction of a cherished ideal — I am happy that seniors ore human! The ultimate to me, then, has always been seniorship. Seniors ore creatures who hove attained — they have reached the goal of all possible desires, hdow silly! Now that I have put away childish things and have become a senior, I know that instead of having reached my goal — I hove only just begun to live — everything is just commencing. 26 i ROY GILMER President GLENN MAXWELL Vice-President DAVID WAGGONER , Secretary-Treasurer _ _ ass Roy Gilmer, A.B.

A hymn or two. A speaker, sometimes smart. Announcements read. At lost, You are Excused! Medley Of radios. Some argument, popcorn. Bears, hazing, a very little Study. THE FIRST POEM A poet came before God one day Unwillingly. And God said: Show me a poem. The poet fumbled about thru several volumes And finally. Thinking it best to be honest in heaven, hie replied: I have none. And the words floated away Like tiny crystal balls In a line. And God said: Thank you! SONNET Let me walk silent in the silent snow. Windless the street . . . may my heart be as still. Like ghosts in umber, as soft shadows go, I shall walk silently, alone, until Slow night has come that blots out all but white. Makes all I feel a simple monotone. And I shall find absurd this futile flight — My walk of silence thru the streets alone. I shall return to warmth and voices, back To all I fly to yet can never hold. Even to you, perfect but for one lack. And joke with you and talk about the cold. Tonight you hurt me; why I do not know. Let me walk silent m the silent snow. STRANGER I CASUALLY SAW Stranger I casually saw in the crowd. Curiously watched as you sprawled by the river and talked with your gang of fellows. Frankly and lovingly watched as you talked and laughed and looked at the tedious river sport; Faced your eyes smiling once when a chance remark of another mutually met our ears. Looked into your dark eyes deep, drank as a thirst-mad man long walking a desert waste drinks at a cool clean spring. Then turned to the one beside me and said some words that I do not now remember. Stranger I sow while thousands were hurrying and talking and eating gray dust. Loving their o ' n or devouring their hearts for love of love. Stranger who leaned on a river bonk and looked into my eyes for a laughing instant And then was gone. A STAR DESCENDS By ELIZABETH F. MILLER I wanted a star. I had waited so long. And hoped and watched. And then it shone . . . clear and bright. Warming my heart with its amber light. I thought it would shine forever and ever, A promise, a miracle of love ' s endeavor. But gradually my star sank low in the west. Making me think it was only a jest That it ever did shine. I had wanted it mine. But again I was left Lonely . . . alone. One hope I have: If stars descend. Why, surely, then, they will rise again. So again I shall wait And hope and watch (I hope not in vain) For the star which shines not. 36 DEAN SMITH President NEWELL SMALZRIED Vice-President RUTH IMLER . Secretary ( PAUL KELLER .

CONKLING Last year (or the last year or the one before that) a group of upperclassmen decided that in order to prepare the freshman boys for the rigors of a college education it would be necessary that these said upperclassmen should take these said freshmen under a course of training. The course was one which would necessitate frequent trips to the river (no, not to go in swimming) to give the rhinie a ducking because the upperclassmen spoken of above had decided that, because once upon a time some time some freshman had shown some- thing akin to conceit. It was easy after that for on upperclassmen to arrive at the conclusion that therefore every freshman hod a cose of exaggerated ego and the only way to cure the swellingitis epidemia was (and is, for upperclassmen still think so. In fact it is hard to change the mind of an upperclassmon, once his said mind is mode up!) by means of frequent immer- sions in the roily v ater of Eel River, frequent applications of bend-over poddolio, and frequent menial and sometimes even humorous tasks. Most freshmen ore good sports. Note for instance the case of the freshman, now an upperclassmon, who, during freshman initiation, was mode to run the gantlet twice because an upperclassmon (one Casey Finnell) failed to get in a telling stroke with his belt. Well, as we ere saying, this freshman was a good sport and went back for a second dose, just to keep the upperclassmon from feeling that he (the u.c.) had been cheated. And then there was the cose of the freshie who was taken to the river and left only his underclothes with which to cover his Grecian curves on the way back to the dorm — and respite from his shame, hie was a good sport — he did not report anybody, even though he hod a right to. The fact of the matter is, it is time that we should revise our opinions regarding the col- lege freshman. We hove been prone to think of him as we ore compelled to do of many high school seniors — as a sort of prodigy (in his own right, and by his own estimation), a kind of combination of rare qualities of conceit, ego, and self-assurance — not that there is much difference — who has the opinion that the whole world has been in o terrible muddle up to this time, but that now he is equipped with a high school diploma and the admiration of his younger brothers and sisters, this some world is in a sort of glorified circle round about him, and that anywhere he may look he will find people who ore amazed at his erudition and humbly willing to accept the services and wisdom of such os he. Yes, high school sen- iors are likely to be like that (and college seniors are not a whole lot different — take em by and large, or in cross section!). But the college freshman is really not that sort of chap at all — that is, as a species. After three months of contemplation of the awesome institution known as college (three months following his graduation from high school, and a like period in re-interpreting his relation- ship to the world) a college I ' illed with traditions (which he must uphold and carry on — traditions of o winning team, of high scholarship, of a more or less ideal citizenship), a college dignified by professors (by reputation full of knowledge and too fully cooked, noted for long assignments and unforgiving natures), and a college infested by upperclassmen (hungry demons eager to scar his infant blood — the same kind of upperclassmen described in on earlier paragraph) whom he must placate and serve if he would live to become a sophomore — after three months of such contemplation, the freshman is no longer a high school graduate (except because of his diploma). He is a timid youngster whose chief ambition is not to wear a green cop, or be spanked, or yet to be thrown into the muddy v oters of Eel River or the more refined but chilly ones of the fountain. Rather he wonts to find friends: college brothers and sisters, and professional dads and mothers — in short, to become a member of our big college family. And, parenthetically, it is some years later when a new self-suf- ficiency warrants physical and moral chastisement. SECTION TWO Organizations TOP ROW— E. Miller, P. Keller, H. Meyer, K. Ross.

Wright- AURORA STAFF The first edition of the 1934 Aurora left the Aurora room in large baskets full of crumpled copy, snipped edges of snapshots, discarded drawings of plans, and small flat cough drop boxes. . . . But the staff, most of the time optimistic, diligently continued their labors until the second edition appeared between these nifty covers. . . . Stuart Van Dyke, with his clever ideas and executive ability, was the grandest editor ever. hHis right-hand man was Wilbur Groff, the efficient business-manager and the unofficial mounter of pictures. . . . The It ' s up to you! slogan brought signed subscriptions into the safe-keeping of Dean Smith, circulation manager. This in turn gave Lowell Wright and Edwin Grossnickle sufficient basis for topping their adver- tising budget. . . . The gentleman with the camera was Keith Ross, photo- grabber de luxe. hHelen Grace Meyer, photographic editor, served in almost every capacity on the staff and made the Aurora room bright with her pres- ence. ... As editor of athletics, Paul Weddle arranged for pictures, penciled pointed write-ups, and made interesting charts. Ensnaring funny stories to sandwich in between the advertising was Paul Keller ' s pleasant diversion. . . . Elizabeth Miller, who had the huge task of being literary editor, was aided by Leoto Lamm ' s typewriting service and Professor Reed ' s proofreading. ... So finally the 1934 Kaleidoscopic Aurora came out of hiding to be yours — for keeps. -E. F. M. EVAN KINSLEY President of the Student Body After the first few weeks of tfie ecstatic pleasure of election fiave slipped away, and after a summer spent in thinking of needed reforms ends abruptly in the First bustling night of Freshman Week, the job of being student president loses its most popular student ' aspect and becomes instead a responsibility, a duty, an oppor- tunity for leadership. • The senior who was thus in the eye of students and faculty members from September, 1933, to May, 1934, was Evan Kinsley. From the time of his green salad days he entered into campus activities with vim and zest. Besides playing football for four years, Mr. Kinsley was active in Y. M., Phronio, International Club, and the Student Council. He has held responsible positions on both the Oak Leaves and Aurora. Friendly and co-operative, he has amply justified the faith of the student body who chose him as their leader. I TOP ROW— W. Groff, D. Cordier, L. Wright, H. Winger, D. Smith. MIDDLE ROW— R.

Light shines from the windows of the College Women s Club Parlor; the Student Council is in session, deliberating on campus problems and planning for suitable activities. A murmur of voices comes out through the keyhole. The authoritative voice of the president surges above the murmur. Well, what are we going to do about this? Lets hove a motion or something. Someone probably makes a motion, for another murmur of discussion follows the brief silence. Again comes the authoritative voice, There ' s no use to talk about this theory stuff. What we want is something practical and something that will really work. • And the some- thing practical probably happened, for the Student Council came through the year with a sizable string of adventures to its credit. The owner of the authoritative voice was Evan Kinsley, who convened the council whenever business arose, on the overage of twice a month. Activities which the council superintended this year were Freshman Initiation Day, hHomecoming Day, Breakaway Night, Courtesy Week, and May Day. Administrative action was token concerning the installation of organization bookkeeping, legalizing of Friday night dotes and systematizotion of dos s dues. TCP ROW— W. Smith, V. Kahler, E. Reece, L.

The Situation: A freshman girl and her boy friend reach the dorm after hours. Since no welcoming light shines forth from the entrance, the rule-disregarders have the bright idea for the girl to go through a window. The plan is executed. • The Adjudication: An all-seeing eye wit- nesses the window episode. The Women ' s Student Court is called into session. The culprit is compused for one week. • Such was the most dramatic of the coses handled by this organization this year. At other times, the court has deol with such coses as: insubordination, feeds after retiring bell, sneak dates, getting in after ten, out all night, and room stacking after ten. • The elected members of the court for this year were Lucille Buck, president,- Wanda North, vice-president; Gertrude Radatz, secretary,- and Miriam Culler, Pauline Burger, Ida Mae Barcus, and Vivian Kahler, class representatives. • Eleven proctors functioned during quiet hours to see that there was no unnecessary noise,- the white card system has been discontinued and o spirit of co-operation put in its place. Thus dorm govern- ment provides a rational basis for two hundred girls to live together in Ookwood Hall. WOMEN ' S STUDENT GOVERNMENT S6 TOP ROW— D. Studebaker, D. Hay, H. Latham, G. Ward, W. Landes.

MEN ' S STUDENT GOVERNMENT Contrary to the popular opinion that the men ' s student government has terrific problems of discipline to cope with, this year the boys hove lived together peacefully and har- moniously, and dorm government has been one of suggestion and not of force, e Not a little of the splendid atmosphere in the dorm was the result of the tact and the friendliness of Wilbur Byerly, whom the boys had elected as their presi- dent. • Byerly was capably assisted by Robert Robison, vice-president; hHubert Latham, secretary,- Paul Keller, sena- tor-at-large; and eight senators. • During the first tv o terms there were only two meetings of this group, which constitutes the student court, and even then there was noth- ing of any particular gravity to be considered, h owever, a committee did rationally revise the constitution, eliminating several useless regulations. • Of course, there were a few minor disturbances, but they did not merit the weighty deliber- ations of the august senate. One such was the freshman uprising on the third floor,- the third floor senators found themselves inadequate to handle the situation, so they called in several other upperclassmen. What followed did not appear in Oak Leaves. 57 TOP ROW— N. Wenger, L. Buck, D. Kester, W. North, M. Culler, P. Russsll. BOTTOM ROW— W. Wilkin, V. Zook, Prof. Murl Barnhart, faculty adviser, M.

W. extended to oil girls this year. And then in Sep- tember, v hen Mother and Dad hod left Kathryn and her chic new luggage alone in a strange room, Kathryn found the comradeship of her Y. W. big sister helpful and cheer- ing. • The Sunday afternoon tea provided on opportunity for Kathryn to wear her best afternoon frock and to mingle among her new friends in an hour of social gaiety. Several weeks later Kathryn wore a perky blue hair-ribbon to the big-little sister party in the little red schoolhouse of the gymnasium. • During the Y drive, Kathryn joined Y. W. and became active in several hobby groups. Music, drama, poetry, problem discussions — all found their place in the Wednesday evening programs. • On March 9, Kathryn ' s Dad arrived on the campus, and Kathryn proudly conducted him to the Fathers ' and Daughters ' banquet. • The year drew to a close and after saying goodbye to Mary Ellen Jackson, the Y. W. president, Kathryn carefully folded away her memories of Y Dub until on a lazy summer afternoon she wrote her first letter to her Y. W. little sister . TOP ROW- P. Keller, N. Smalzried, L.

CABINET Arriving on the campus last foil, freshmen found the Y ' s ready to help them to adjust to college life. • Late in October when studying was no longer a novelty the Y ' s sponsored an all-student hiallowe ' en party in the gym- nasium. Inhibitions were let down, masks were put on, and everyone had a good time. • To direct Y. M. activities this year, Paul Ertzinger was elected president. Worship programs, sings, book reviews, musical programs, and dis- cussions were a part of the Wednesday evening schedule. In the spring, several exchange programs were mode with Wabash hTigh School and Huntington College. • The Y ' s kept tab on the news of the world and bulletined it on h ot Spots in the library lobby. Y. M. is the official care- taker of the men s parlor in the Ad building, furnishing it occasionally and keeping it supplied with magazines. • The Mothers ' and Sons ' banquet on March 10 was a pleasurable departure from the usual Fathers ' and Sons ' affair. Later in the spring, an all-student roller skating frolic in the gym innovated a popular type of recreation. • In May, the old and new cabinet members of the Y ' s hod a joint retreat at Camp Mack, to recuperate from strenuous campus activity and to make plans for the coming year. S9 Walking briskly through a Century of Progress exposition, strolling leisurely over the campuses of American colleges, and lingering pleasantly with Mathean Pals, the girls of Phi Kappa Mu enjoyed three terms of integrated, well- planned, and successful progra ms this year. These were due, in no small measure, to the presidents, Mary Ellen Jackson, Miriam Culler, and Mildred Jollief, and to the censors, Dorothy Young, Wanda Wilkin, and Lucille Buck. • Freshman girls were rushed by a costume Russian party, and later they were delightfully entertained at a Rose Tea by Motheans in orchid and green afternoon frocks. • Inter- esting plays, one of the best liked of which was The Violin Maker of Cremonia ' ,■ a parliamentary drill; a super-silly- but-excellent debate on whether Northwestern should adopt Manchester ' s form of courtesy week; art portrayed by living pictures; — all of these and others continued the high standard of Mathean programs. • Most brilliant of Mathean-Rhe- torion night life was UnSoiree a Pans ' , on Evening in Paris, which they enjoyed at the Aerostat Cafe in Oakwood hHall. The guests were entertained in a midnight blue and silver exotic-Parisian atmosphere of balloons, good food, music, drama, and dancers. The party broke up at a rela- tively early hour. PHILOMATHEA i 60 PHILORHETORIA Good old Rhetoric ' was an organization of pep and good programs this year. The presidents were Max Kraning, Earl Stine, and Ernest Blickenstoff, and the censors were Newell Smalzried, Gerald Studebaker, and Quentin Kintner. • First of the joint programs with Mathea was the foil frolic around four large bonfires in the college woods. The evening was mode more enjoyable by farcical plays, roost weiners, and apples. • Max Kroning ' s orchestra made a circuit of the other societies besides playing for Rhetoric. Several other excellent musical programs were presented during the year. • The annual parliamentary drill was almost ruined by the persistent efforts of Dewey Stutsman to lay the motions on the table. In the end, the gentleman himself was laid on the table. • Rhetorio wouldn ' t be Rhetoria v ithout impromptu and extemporaneous speeches. One rather elaborate one was a debate that hHoward Winger and Lowell Hutchins had with Robert Sible and Russell Stuckey concerning Breakaway Night. Other en- lightening impromptus were The Chambers of My hHeart by William T. Russell, Where I Like Best to Sing by Carl Summers, and The Art of Saying Grace by Max Kraning. Informality is manifest among the good fellows of Philophronio, from the presidents, Robert Robison, Evan Kinsley, and Raphael Wolfe, down to the greenest of the freshmen. • On a late September evening, Phronia co-operated informalities with Lethea and hod a campfire frolic on the moonlit athletic field; impromptu fun and singing were prerequisite to hot dogs and cider, the climax of the evening. • One of the best Phronion programs of the year featured the College Ladies ' quartet; Walter Bowers in a sousophone solo, Beel- zebub ; and Richard Gump in a talk on Etiquette . • A rather novel program was the spelling match led by Lowell Wright; Wilbur Byerly was winner of the event • At another meeting, Joseph Van Dyke, Phi Sigma Phi ' s poet laureate, read several original poems. • Girls by hHarold Yorger, ' Light Bulbs as a Cure for Ear Ache by Charles Day, Sights I hiave Seen by Byron Sites, and What My Roommate Says in his Sleep by Carl Plowman indicate the kind of extemps and impromptus which complete the in- formality of Philophronio. PHILOPHRONIA 62 PHILALETHEA Under a Blue Moon, pajama-clod Letheans welcomed pajamo-clad freshman girls at a Blue Moon pojamo party on the evening of their arrival on the campus,- to the fresh- men, whose dreams were beginning to come true, the win- some play, The Maker of Dreams , was presented. About a week later, a waffle breakfast was served in the social room in honor of the newcomers. • Guiding the activities of Philalethea during the year were the presidents, Doris Kester, Lucille Noffsinger, and Clouda Fisher, and the censors, Mildred Young, Clauda Fisher, and Ida Mae Barcus. • Programs for the year varied from modern poetry and what ' s new in print to an Indian playlet, Many Moons Ago , and an old maid ' s tea party. • Joining with Phi Sigma Phi, the girls of Phi Sigma Alpha spent An Evening with the Gods on March 17. By the light of the Grecian candelabra outlining the M arrangement of the tables, a Grecian dance was given, Grecian sports were represented, and a mock Grecian drama was produced. The Greek letter societies had at last achieved a banquet consistent with their names. TOP ROW— H. Winger, W. Russell, B. Rohn, H. Latham, R. Townsend, R. Gilbert, E. Kinsley, P. Keller, W. Groff, D.

INTERNATIONAL CLUB Organized in 1929, International Club is one of the youngest organizations on the campus, but also one of the widest in scope and most effective in activity. • It is connected with the Carneg ie Foundation for International Peace, which sends twelve books on international subjects to the club library and supplies one guest speaker each year. • Evan Kinsley was president, and Paul Weddle was vice-president and program chairman for the current year, and Dr. Cordier continued as adviser. • Kermit Eby, who had recently returned from a trip to Japan, spoke to the International Club and others on Sunday afternoon, January 21. Other outside speakers during the year were James Meyers of the Federal Council of Churches and Clark Eichelberger, a director of the League of Nations Association of the Middle West. • Considering the international situation as a whole and the countries of Germany, Austria, India, Italy, and Russia in particular, the club spent a series of profit- able bi-weekly meetings. About ten programs at schools and churches were given by International Club deputation teams. SCIENCE CLUB TOP ROW— F. Ulrey, M. Bechtold, P. Miller, N. Holl, J. Shaffer, W. Landes, L. Blickenstaff.

And although we never Vi ent, we presume that all the scientists and all the would-be-scientlsts on the campus attend regularly. • Raphael Wolfe and James Berkebile hove been presidents of the organization this year, and Roy Gilmer and Max Bechtold hove been vice-presidents and program chairmen. • It was partly under the auspices of the Science Club that hH. hi. Nininger, a recognized authority on meteorites, was brought to the campus. • At one of the regular meetings, Don Martin, the fifth to the youngest faculty member, gave a talk on the new soap, dreft , which forms suds easily in cold hard water because it does not precipitate the salts. At another time, Dr. Morris talked on the moon (it is not known whether the club was corned to such heights or not); he closed his discussion with these significant words, The moon has a great effect on the tide, but a greater effect on the untied . • Through such talks, demonstrations, and discussions, the club attempts to keep up on current developments in science. Extemps and impromptus, scientific or otherwise, supplement the more serious activities. 65 TOP ROW— ProF. F. E. Reed, faculty adviser, L. Coyle, L. Blickenstaff, H. Winger, C. Hoff- man, D. Hoon, R.

At 6:15 the p.resident, Paul Miller, stands up. No one closes the door. The secretory, Elmo Housenfluck, calls the roll and reads the minutes. • Charles Vore, Alene Light, and Raphael Wolfe provoke the mathematical thought of the evening with talks on Mathematics as a Character Builder , The Life of Newton , and The Probability Curve , respectively. Professor Dotterer adds a few re- marks. • The secretary announces that Bill Williams will give an extemp on Demonstration of Path of Curve Followed by a Thrown Piece of Chalk , and that Leiand Blocher will explain hHow to Get Correct Answers without Correct Formulas .

MISSING — John Eckerle, Paul Ertzinger, Fred Fox. After lying dormant for several years, tfie Student Ministers ' Association sprang into action last fall when two serious- minded students voiced its desirability. About thirteen other student ministers visioned the possibilities of such an organi- zation and the bi-weekly Tuesday evening meetings became a reality, o In the absence of Troy Shrock, vv ' ho had been elected fall term president, Kenneth Long filled that office and the one of program chairman. Kenneth hHollinger and Dewey Stutsman were the winter and spring term presidents, and Paul Lantis -and Paul Ertzinger were vice-presidents and program chairmen, o Two programs which the members still talk about were the discussion groups led by Rev. Boose, Rev. hHartsough, and Prof, hlolladay. Other discussions con- cerning problems of Christian living were a regular part of the program, o Supplying ministers for neighboring churches when an unexpected emergency arose was one of the chief outside functions of the organization. Several of the members regularly filled the pulpits of various churches. • Good fellowship and mutual interchange of ideas and opinions are the objectives of the association of student ministers.

One of the oldest organizations on the campus. Student Volunteers was organized for the cause of missions and has ever been actively interested m that work. From this group, fifty-eight missionaries have gone to the mission field, and six have died in service. Twenty-five M. C. graduates are now missionaries in India, China, and Africa. • The present organization of Student Volunteers has about thirty-five members. Each is enrolled under one of three pledges: (1) a pledge for definite mission service,- (2) a pledge for definite church work at home,- or (3) a pledge of interest in and support of church activities. • Lucille Buck has been president of the Student Volunteer Band both last year and this year, and Rosanna hduff is president of the state organization. • In December, the Volunteers presented in chapel a missionary play, Under the Shadow , vvTitten by Dr. hHoff. Throughout the year deputation teams hove given programs in venous churches, o Missionaries have brought first-hand information of China and Africa, and one evening on India cultural program was put on by the students whose parents have been missionaries in India. The aim of the Volunteers is to know how the other half of the world lives and to do something about it. TOP ROW— W. Bowers, V. Miller, L. Coyle, B. Brubaker, R. Hopper, J. Eekerle. FIFTH ROW — D.

MARCHING BAND Several times a week during football season, students in the library were pleasantly jarred out of tfieir scholastic pursuits by the spirited music of the marching band parading across the campus. At the door of the library, the band turned into individuals who descended into the depths of that building to study formations and technique. • And the following Saturday at the game the bond delighted the spectators and inspired the players with its martial music and its superb precision of formations. Max Kraning deftly wielded the shiny-knobbed drum major ' s baton, directing the maneuvers and the playing of his marching musicians. • Depauw University invited the band to participate in their Old Gold Day festivities; for the football game the letters D ' and M were formed. Besides these letters, I. C. and N. D. were neatly executed at the home gomes with Indiana Central and Notre Dame. • Playing at basketball games during the winter term, the band continued their contribution to pep and school spirit. • The last function of the bond was to take part in the annual May Day festivities in honor of the Queen of the May.

STRING ENSEMBLE As the red light flashes on. Professor Arlington waves his baton, and the Manchester College String Ensemble is once more on the air, playing to an unseen radio audience. • Between October 29 and February 1, the ensemble gave thirty-minute broadcasts over station WOWO in Fort Wayne on every other Sunday at twelve-thirty o ' clock, o An entirely different program was planned for each of the six broadcasts of the ensemble, no composition being played twice. • The members which broadcast as the ensemble were Professor Arlington, Yetive Jordan, David Blickenstaff, Wilma Smith, Margaret FHenderson, Dr. hioff, Leonard Dill- ing, Mildred Etter, and Ethylinda Arlington. • On October 5 the ensemble gave a concert for the Marion Music Club in Marion, Indiana. • This year was the second of the ensemble s organization. Practising every Friday afternoon, they achieved an excellent repertoire of modern classical music as well as traditional classical music. • One very interesting program which they worked out for the Inter- national Club was a group of compositions written by com- posers of various nationalities, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Spanish, French, FHungarian, English, American, German, and Indian. ORCHESTRA CONCERT BAND Professor Arlington has been the director of the orchestra since 1926; during his recent illness, Dr. hHoff served as temporary director. Max Bechtold, a junior, was president of the organi- zation this year. • From six-fifteen to eight o ' clock every Tuesday evening, the thirty-five piece orchestra practised classical music, such as the Second Hungarian Rhapsody by Liszt and the Merry Wives of Windsor by Nicolai. • In December, the orchestra gave a concert at the high school auditorium in hHuntington, and on January 19, they played at Salvi ' s concert in Huntington. Another concert and several campus appearances were also planned. Under the direction of their maestro. Max Kraning, the forty-five piece concert band met every Thursday evening at six o ' clock this year to increase their repertoire of modern band music. The presidents were Roger Shively, Paul Berkebile, and Harold Hoover. Three Saturday evening concerts were given by the bond, one in the fall, one in January, and one in the spring. All in one evening, an audience was carried from the oriental atmosphere In a Persian Market Place , far away to the lost continent of Atlantis , and, listening to the mystical rhythm of a Chinese Temple Garden , into an enchanting land of beautiful tone poems. 74- LADIES- QUARTET SECULAR MALE QUARTET SACRED MALE QUARTET TOP ROW-C.

Over twenty thousand people comprised the audiences of the approximately one hundred fifty programs in which the three Manchester College quartets appeared during the year. • Two men s quartets had been organized, one to sing primarily sacred music and the other to sing music of a secular nature. Professor hHalladay directed all three of the college quartets. • Marvin Bolinger, the first tenor of the sacred quartet, sang for three years in the Aeolian quartet of La Verne College, California. Of the secular quartet, the most popularly known member was Newell Smalzried, baritone, who won a local song contest in January. Dorothy Young sang second alto in the ladies ' quartet during her four years at Manchester College. • Singing secular numbers, the men ' s sacred quartet placed first in the men ' s quartet division at the Eistedfodd in Goshen. During spring vacation, the men ' s secular quartet and the ladies ' quartet gave a series of fourteen programs in southern Ohio; the men ' s sacred quartet journeyed in the opposite direction to sing at several churches in Illinois. • One of the deepest regrets of the editors is that this- book went to press before the quartets went tripping, so we can ' t expose what happened then. m7Hii angninL .u.m-inT.rniiiii TOP ROW — D.

MADRIGAL CLUB Largest of any of the choirs which hove been sponsored by Manchester College was this year ' s Madrigal Club, composed of seventy-five voices. Practising on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from eight to nine, the club acquired a repertoire of thirty classical and sacred songs. Professor Boyer was the director and Max Allen the president of the organization. Triumph! Thanksgiving! by Rach- maninoff and The Last hHour by Kramer were the members ' favorite songs. • About twenty-five programs were given this year. As special features of these, Orpha Stutsman gave readings, Wanda Wilkin and Galen Dickey were vocal soloists, Mildred Jollief was the piano soloist, and David and Leonard Blickenstaff played the violin and piano. A ladies octet and a men ' s octet also sang special numbers. • The most interesting and enjoyable trip of the year was the one to Goshen in February to participate in the Eistedfodd, a musical festival sponsored by Professor Boyer and prominent musicians of the state. • Combining balance in music types and voice parts with excellent instruction. Madrigal offered its members theoreticol and practical training for group singing. 76 CANTILENA CHOIR V % ' TOP ROW— K. Zollers, F. Coulter, M. Gentry, V. McConnell, Prof. D. W. Boyer, director, O.

Something new and something appropriate must have been the motivating force in the decision of the ladies chorus to select a new name for their organization this year. After much long-and-serious and some not-so-serious deliberation, the name of Cantilena was chosen, o From seven to eight on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, the Cantilena voices might have been heard practising in Phronia hHall. Their repertoire of about twenty songs included both sacred and classical numbers; the general favorites were The Green Cathedral by Carl hdahn and Amaryllis by Frederick Bancroft. Individuals received valuable training in har- monizing their voices with the rest of the choir and enjoyed themselves thoroughly all the while. • Wearing black wool crepe dresses with white satin collars, the Cantilena Choir gave approximately eighteen programs for churches, clubs, and schools of this vicinity. To vary the programs, Mary Alice hdelman and Margaret Meese gave readings. Wanda North was the soloist and Dons Kester the accompanist of the choir. • Professor Boyer, who formerly had charge of the quartets, directed the work of the choral groups this year. Wanda North, served as president of Cantilena. TOP ROW— P. Giesenhof, H. Winger, M. Kraning, D. Smith, W. Groff. MIDDLE ROW— P. Keller, K. Hollinger, L. Neher, Q. Kintner, S. Van Dyke. BOTTOM ROW— W.

Participating in more than one hundred decision debates during the season, Manchester College had a more extensive debate program this year than ever before. • In January, three two-speaker teams engaged in on invitational tourna- ment at Illinois State Normal University, debating the presi- dential powers question. • Over the week-end of February 23, ninety-six debate teams from thirty-five colleges and universities joined in an invitational tournament on our campus, using both the Japanese question and the presidential powers question. Two M. C. men ' s teams debated the former question, Resolved: That the present Japanese policy in the Far East should be approved. Manchester won sixty-two and one half-per cent plus of all their debates during the tournament. • During the entire season, Man- chester teams met debaters from eleven states. Among the colleges represented were the University of West Virginia, Juniata College, Bowling Green, the University of Iowa, Albion, Western State Teachers ' College, Northwestern, Purdue, Depauw, Wabash, and Butler. • The three grad- uating varsity debaters are Paul Smith, Max Kraning, and Glen Maxwell. The latter two are four-year debaters and will receive special gold and onyx keys. MEN ' S VARSITY DEBATE TOP ROW— E. Miller, H. Meyer, F. Coulter. BOTTOM ROW— M. Ridenour, I. Barcus, R. Wike, M.

WOMEN ' S VARSITY DEBATE The two teams of varsity v omen debaters spent hours and hours o their winter term researching and reasoning on the question, Resolved: That the powers of the President should be substantially increased as a settled policy . • Three juniors and four sophomores mode up the teams. In February, five of the debaters journeyed with Dr, hloff to the University of Toledo where they participated in an invitational tournament with four Ohio schools, Kent State, Bowling Green, hieidelberg, and the U. of Toledo. The negative team won one out of five debates and the affirma- tive won all four of their decision debates. • At the M. C. invitational tournament on the following week-end, the affirmative team was one of the five teams, out of the ninety- six participating, which came through all their debates unscathed. This good-luck three-some was composed of Mabel Ridenour, hHelen Grace Meyer, and Ida Mae Barcus; they were the only M. C. team which came through the tournament with such on unchallenged record. The negative team, which hod furnished steady and effective opposition to this affirmative team, won four out of their five debates in the tournament. THE PLAY ' S THE THING . . . Wherever there is an end, from it the beginning springs. The 1933 graduating class presented hHotel Universe , a deeply psychological modern ploy written by Philip Barry, to the May Day audience in the gymnasium-auditorium on May 8; a second cast gave the play on the following night. Quite different in theme was The Servant in the hHouse ' , by Charles Rann Kennedy, which was given during commencement week by the ploy production class. The play was woven around the dislike of a vicar toward his worthless brother, and around the dissolving of the conflict by Monson, the servant in the house . There ' s a lot o ' brothers knocking abaht as people don ' t know on, eh what? On December 8, the sixth annual pageant was produced in the gymnasium-auditorium by the pageantry class. Memory ' s Patches , written by Dorothy Croft, portrayed the scenes which a young widow recalled when Memory brought out his bog of vori-colored patches. Perhaps the most outstanding play to be given in chapel was The Valiant by hHall and Middlemass, as a sophomore class pro- gram in December. This one-act play was the touching story of a courageous young man who shielded his mother and sister from the knowledge of his ignoble death. Worked out by the Y drama hobby groups, The Lost Silk hHat and ' The Faraway Princess were enjoyed by a large play-going crowd in the chapel on the evening of January 27. The former play was concerned with an English dandy who attempted to get a laborer and a poet to recover his hat which he had left in the house of the girl with whom he had quarreled. The Faraway Princess had an interesting comedy plot about a German tutor who idealized a princess whom he thought he would probably never see. In January, the members of the dramatic monologue class presented The Diadem of Snow by Elmer Rice, at the College Woman ' s Club banquet and at the joint banquet of Kiwonis and the Business and Professional Women ' s Club. Several weeks later the play was given as a chapel program. The story was about Romanoff, a former tsar of Russia who chose to remain in exile rather than return to political intrigues. Four one-act plays given by the Y drama hobby groups climaxed Courtesy Week on the evening of February 16. ' Beau of Bothe was a glimpse of the vain dream of a man who had squandered everything, even love. Manikin and Minniken were two china figures on a shelf,- Minniken was jealous of the lady who dusted Maniken off every morning. The Great Dork was a drama of miners ' wives who were awaiting the results of a mine explosion. An allegorical play, Ribs and the Cover , showed hat happened when o young priest was given charge of a temple. For the entertainment of the fathers and mothers who were guests at the Fathers ' and Daughters ' and the Mothers ' and Sons ' banquets, two one-act plays, The Romancers and The Gazing Globe ' were presented in the chapel. The former was a version of a Romeo and Juliet situation, and The Gazing Globe represented a fatalistic escape from life. The play chosen by the class of ' 34 to be given on May Day evening was Both Your FHouses , a political play by Alexander. Pharaoh ' s Daughter was the play selected to be given on Wednes- day evening of commencement week. This tenth annual play pro- duction class ploy portrays Moesis ' struggle between the choices of service and sovereignity. Mrs. Wompler has been M. C. ' s chief dramatist and play director for a number of years,- her plays have always been worthy of college production. Ruth Ross, ' 33, directed the plays given by the Y drama hobby group during the year. As children like to play just pretend , so college students love play-acting. And after the big night is over, the committees as well OS the cast unite in thinking, The plays the thing . 1934 DRAMATICS Si TOP ROW— R. Biddle, W. Berry, W. Russell, P. Boase, F. Fox, C. Wells.

Why, I didn ' t even know that the negative gave the first rebuttal speech , admitted a charming coed debater when we asked her about freshman debating. On the other hand, some of the freshman debaters had excellent training debating in high school. From such diversified knowledge and back- ground. Professor Beauchamp coached into debating twenty freshmen who became quite as proficient in tearing down the coses of their opponents as they were in establishing fool- proof cases of their own. • Almost every week the freshmen engaged in practice debates with other freshmen or with the more experienced upperclassman debaters. At these foren- sic encounters. Professor Beauchamp invariably appeared, to admonish, suggest, condemn, and sometimes approve. • The majority of the freshman debaters were on the presi- dential powers question, but one girls ' team debated the Japanese question. In February, when the invitational debate tournament was held on the campus, the freshman class furnished half of the forty M. C, debaters, most of the freshmen being in the B division. • The tangible evidences of reward which each freshman debater received at the end of the season v ere four-inch gold chenille letter Ms outlined in black.

Mrs. George Beouchamp was president of the club this year. • CWC is divided into two sections, the Dames ' section and the Teachers ' section, which hove alternate bi-weekly meetings. According to the husband of one of the domes, they go in for culture and the teachers for a good time.  Miss M. Irene Johnson, known to all student teachers, was chairman of the Teachers ' section, and Mrs. A. R. Eiken- berry, wife of M. C. ' s psychologist, was chairman of the Dames ' section. 9 This year ' s CWC banquet, held in January at the Walnut Street Church of the Brethren, was a take-off on the recovery program, o CWC gave three fifty-dollar loans to college girls, the number of such scholarships pro- gressing one each year. The club also mode the CWC parlor in the Ad building more comfortable by waxing the floor and adding blankets for the couches. Another of the club ' s active interests is in promoting student contact with the faculty. COLLEGE WOMAN ' S CLUB SECTION THREE ' [ ATHLETICS 1= Carl W. Burt Coach of Football E. W. Hearne Assistant Coach COACHING STAFF The destinies of the 1933-34 Manchester intercollegiate athletic schedule were in the hands of Coaches Burt and Stauffer, assisted by hiearne. Short, silent and strong, Carl W. Burt has been the author of Manchester ' s football history. He has coached every squad that has faced a foreign foe, produced three state championship teams and, for the post three summers, directed a coaches ' training school. Bock in the days when the budget showed a surplus he turned out battling baseball teams. Deep in August, he likes nothing better than to strap his fishing poles across the top of his new Plymouth and drive to a tiny lake which a lone cottage claims as his . His own con- scientious enthusiasm quickly transfers to all who work with him and produces an intense devotion which in turn produces Football with a capital F. Supplementing Burt is big, blond, beaming Robert Stauffer. In college he distinguished himself as a bosketboller and upon graduation promptly assumed the coachship of his former mates. Since that time he has consistently produced powerful netsquads for his Alma Mater. He himself is an expert tennist and golfer and has entered numerous state tournaments in these sports. At present he divides his time between managing a foundry and managing his squads. Students like him for his easy manners, his optimistic smile. Assistant Coach Hearne fills his spare moments clerking in a clothing store. In the fall term, football is his chief interest until dark, and working out ploys occupies him until mid- night. In the winter, he trains the M. C. B basketball squad. Since his college days he has been a traveling salesman, married a school teacher, engaged in such tranquil pursuits as gardening, and served two years as assistant coach for the Spartans. 1933 FOOTBALL Having molded M. C. s football squad, in only nine yeors, into a Fighting machine capable of winning three state championships, Coach Burt faced the even more difficult task, this year, of proving himself and his Spartans victorious in defeat. At the beginning of the season, the team was one of the greenest that ever turned up the turf on Eel River field, but they learned more football than many on experienced team and played for the glory of football. The score book record of only one win and one tie was not on accurate statement of what the team really accomplished. With the loss of seventeen letter men in 1932 facing him. Coach Burt built around a nucleus of promising freshmen and dependable upperclassmen a team that won from Boll State, came from behind to knot the score with Notre Dame ' s B squad 1 3-1 3, and held Wabash and Depauw to o a scores. Eleven seniors played their last gome of college football this year, and two served as assistant coaches of football. Cordier is one of the best punters in Indiana; in his position as end he did most of the kicking for the team. When Byerly come out for football as a freshman, the coach told him he needn ' t come out any more because he was so small; the then little lad continued to persevere until he had climbed from the fifth team of his freshman days to the varsity guard position of his junior and senior career. Tiny Stine, the big boy from Laketon, became a tackle whose motto v as Let s fight! Prugh played half back for three years, and in his senior year played quarter back. Kinsley played tv o years with the reserves and made the varsity squad in his senior year. Rogers, who hod substituted for Watts for two years, played regularly at full back. Over- meyer made his letter for three years playing guard. hHoover went out for football last year, and during the 1934 season filled Murray ' s place in several gomes. Hloll played for four years on the second team, proving himself very valuable in scrimmage; once when he suffered a dislocated shoulder, his only regret was that he would not be able to go out for scrimmage the next day.

Dilling and Guyer served this year as assistant coaches, Dilling having played for three years, and Guyer having played during his sophomore and junior years. On December 11, the football men received their awards at the annual football banquet held in the social room. Stine and Cordier were awarded trophies,- Prugh, Yarger, Byerly, Kinsley, Rogers and Overmeyer received heavy sweaters,- and Wyse, Allmann, Waggoner, Hoover, Robison and Holl lightweight sweaters. Cullers, Dilling, McCleory, R. Townsend, Buffenbarger, Murray, Banet, Smalzried, Driver, Hoge, Hol- linger and Sapp won letters,- and Berkebile, Early, Vore, Gochenour, Moore, Snider, King, Plowman, Hutchins, D. Townsend, Weaver, Dubois, Neher, Williams and Day were granted numerals. At the close of the football season, the team chose the captains for 1934. Harold Yarger, varsity end for three years, was made line captain, and Herb Banet, outstanding bockfield man during the 1933 season, backfield captain. After three months of football inactivity, fifty football Spartans come out for spring training to lay the foundation for the team next fall. Sept. 23; Adrian, Michigan — In the first game of the season the Burtmen journeyed to Michigan to battle against the strong Adrian team. By the failure of the kick after touchdown Manchester permitted her opponents to win by the narrow margin of 7 to 6. Features of the game were Bill Byerly ' s stellar tackling of Adrian ball carriers behind the line of scrimmage and Kinsley ' s off-tackle dashes of forty and thirty-five yards for the touchdown in the third quarter. Measured in gallons of perspiration this was the hottest ' game the boys played. Sept. 30; Eel River Field — The lighter Spartans turned back the battering, slashing attack of a heavier team of veterans from Kalamazoo for almost three quarters, but finally lost 14 to 0. Stine blocked a Kalamazoo punt late in the second quarter and Manchester 91 started a touchdown drive which cs stopped on the four yard hne by the gun ending the half. Wyse played stellar ball at left guard, recovering a Kazoo fumble on the one foot line in the second quarter. Neifert, 220 pound fullback from Kalamazoo, was particularly vicious in his line bucking. The first opponent touchdown came late in the third quarter. Late in the fourth quarter the hHornets advanced the ball to the eighteen inch line and were held for three downs with a gam of one foot. Finally the touchdown was made on a trick play. Oct. 14; Eel River Field — Indiana State came to Manchester deter- mined to avenge the beating which the Spartans inflicted upon them last year at Terre FHaute. Manchester ' s clever defense held Indiana State ' s fast quarter- back, Bush, to only one touchdown. Two of the I. S. touchdowns were gifts — one the result of a Spartan fumble behind the goal line recovered by I. S. and the other after an intercepted pass. Manchester ' s touchdown came in the second quarter when Captain Cordier snagged one of Bonet ' s long BANET ROBISON 8UFFLN BARS E PJ HoH -hack WAGGONER HOGE f u7?-b ch. M CLEARY Ho7-f-hack passes in the end zone. Kinsley was injured in the third quarter and was lost to the squad until the last two games. Red Wyse lost three teeth in someone ' s helmet during the game. Manchester ' s desperate passing attack in the lost few minutes of the gome failed to advance the ball beyond the coveted goal line. The game ended 25-6, disappointing a homecoming crowd of 2,000 who had gathered to see the struggle. Oct. 21; Greencostle, Indiana — Everytime Manchester has gone to Depauw it has been with eal determination to win. This was especially true this year, for they played the highly touted Tigers before a large homecoming crowd on DePauw ' s Blackstock field. Two fake ploys, with Bradley of DePauw carrying the boll, resulted in tv o long runs for touchdowns in the first half. In the second half, the Burtmen tightened their defense and turned back the battering bucks of the Tigers. Cordier ' s educated toe kept DePouw in their own territory the last half. hHe out-punted DePauw ' s kicker on the average, twenty yards a punt. DePauw ' s two touchdowns came in each of the first two quarters and were the only scoring in the game. DePauw finished the season unscored on, untied, and undefeated, the only team in the country with such a record. Oct. 28; Muncie, Indiana — Enthused by greetings from 500 eds and co-eds sent to them just before gome time, the Manchester Spartans decisively defeated the Ball State Cardinals. Ail positions on the Manchester team showed up well — the ends were so tough Ball State lost consistently on attempted end runs, the mid line held the Staters to small gains on line bucks, and the backfield consistently smothered attempted passes. Manchester had the boll in scoring position six times. Yorger scored the touchdown in the fourth quarter on an end around play. Banet was the outstanding ball carrier for Manchester, gaining 116 yards in this game. The Spartan backfield gained at will oil afternoon. The game ended 7-0, giving Manchester its third consecutive victory over the Staters. Nov. 4; Crawfordsville, Indiana — The game at Wabash was featured by the impregnable defense of the Spartans inside of their own thirty yard line. Although Wabash made sixteen first downs, most of the yardage was gained in their own territory. Wabash passed its way to its lone touchdown. Man- chester scored a touchback when Wabash fumbled and recovered behind the line of scrimmage. Rogers, who had played all of every game thus far in the season was injured and out of the game for the remainder of the season. Nov. 11; Eel River Field— For the first time in history, the Spartans clashed with the Irish B squad from Notre Dame. At the start of the game Man- chester opened up a terrific drive for the goal line, only to be halted by a fumble. Notre Dame recovered the fumble, but failed to get off a good punt, giving Manchester the ball on the 40 yard line. Line bucks and spinner plays placed the ball on the five-yard line, but here again Manchester fumbled. The ploy the entire first quarter wvas in Notre Dame ' s territory. In the second quarter using Banet ' s end runs, Buffingbarger ' s off-tacklej smashes, and Prugh ' s spinner plays, the Spartans carried the ball to the one yard line. Prugh scored the touchdo n. Notre Dome come back in the third quarter to make two touchdowns, but failed to convert one try for point after touchdown. In the fourth quarter with Kinsley, Sapp, and Banet carrying the boll within scoring distance, Banet plunged across for the lost Spartan touchdown. Yarger kicked the extra point. The game ended 13 to 13. Manchester made eleven first do ns to Notre Dame s four. Bill Byerly and Stine played one of the best gomes of their careers. The game was unusually rough, and Bill was heard to remark, What  A ent on there in the line will never be made known. Capt. Cordier s fine punting kept Man- chester well within Notre Dame ' s ter- ritory. Kinsley ' s ankle injury did not allow him to see much action in this game, but his running on reverse plays was a big factor in the last scoring drive. Over- meyer ' s hard tackles will be remembered, especially by the Notre Dame backs.

Last November when the call for men was issued, over fifty responded. Many were old players who had shown their skill in previous years, and others had yet to prove their worth. After Coach Stauffer had selected his choice Spartans, the team was found to include a number of freshmen. Among the older veterans were Lehman, Cullers, Sumpter, Neff, Allmann, and Shaffer, while Banet, Snider, and hHyde come out strong in the rank of first-class fresh- man basketeers. The team this year was unusually strong, but they faced a heavy schedule. Among the stiff opposition offered to the Spartans were such teams as Franklin, Western State, and Indiana Central. While Franklin College won easily over M. C. in the first encounter at Franklin, Manchester made very stiff com- petition in a return engagement, the final score being Manchester 33 and Franklin 36. BASKETBALL A SQUAD TOP ROW— J. Shaffer, R. Hyde, H. Banet, R. Allman, C. Buffenbargar. BOTTOM ROW — D. Bright, student manager, G. Cullers, J. Sumpter, C. Lehman, J. Neff. BASKETBALL B SQUAD TOP ROW— P. Weddle, B. Hollinger, J. Donaldson, W. Weaver, D. Bright, student manager. BOTTOM ROW— H. CIme, G. Hayes, B. Williams. The latter won from Butler and was considered a First rank team in the State. Coach Stauffer organized his players into two squads, A and B; players were transferred from one squad to another to promote the strength of the A squad. Thus, keen competition for first-berth positions was maintained throughout the year. Even though the Spartans won a low percentage of their gomes, most of them were lost by very small margins. In the battle against the strong Western State team, the Spartans gained the lead m the first minutes of ploy and held this lead until the third quarter. The half ended 16 to 14, but the accurate shooting of the Staters made it impossible for M. C. to stop a ten-point rally which ended in a 24 to 32 victory for Western State. The crowd of M. C. basketball enthusiasts were brought to their feet in the sensational Indiana Central encounter. The game was very close and, with t o minutes to ploy, the score stood 21 to 23. A clever shot from the side m the last minute of ploy won the game for the Greyhounds by a four-point margin. Manchester basketball contests were very well attended this year. The largest crowd was present January 12 when 2,000 fans witnessed the closely contested game with Indiana Central. The direction of the smaller, lighter B squad was turned over to Assistant Coach hHearne, who maneuvered the squad to eight victories out of nine games against some of the best independent teams in the northern port of the state. At the home gomes of the B team Yorger and Smalzried officiated. At the annual basketball feed on March 20, Ailmann and Cullers received heavy sweaters,- Nef , Lehman, and Sumpter light sweaters,- Banet, Snider and hlyde letters,- and Buffenbarger, Weddle, Cline, hHoyes, Donaldson, Weaver, hiol- linger, Williams and Shaffer numerals. 97 D0NAL(?50N-Ce« r INDIVIDUAL RECORD Individual Position Allmonn F.

Ouarci Virginia Riggs Director of women ' s athletics Miss Riggs, who first came to Manchester Col- lege in 1932, is one of those persons who knows what she wants and how to get it. Her Ford also has a tendency to go places. Riggs not only does such frivolous things as directing May Day dances, but, in her capacity as Red Cross life guard, she is ever ready to save souls. In the short time she has directed girls ' physical education here, she has introduced such a variety of sports that new interest has been created both in the regular classes and in intramural contests. Wearing blue gym rompers, M. C. coeds assembled semi-weekly in the gymnasium for their shore in physical education. During the fall term courses in general gym and tennis were offered; the general gym consisted principally of baseball with the class organized into teams which ran off a tournament. Basketball, volleyball, and general gym empha- sizing tumbling and stunts were the chief activities of the winter term. The volleyball class had just enough for two teams, so they engaged in a term-long tournament which ended in one team providing a treasure hunt for the other. GIRLS ' SPORTS MEN ' S SPORTS Badminton, an English game widely played in India, was the predominant sport which one feminine foursome engaged in during the winter months. It is played by batting shuttlecocks across a volleyball net with long-handled small- headed racquets. The winning partnership were invited to dinner m the dungeon of the others ' apartment. Between intermittent spring showers, tennis, golf, and field hockey brought the girls ' physical ed classes out-of-doors, h ockey was on innovation to most of the girls, and they acquired effective swings. 1! — 21 — 3! — 4!; down — up — right — left; keep — your — eyes — ahead! Backs become sore, legs get stiff, feet develop blisters, necks refuse to turn, after the first two or three days in one of Coach Burt ' s physical education classes for men; but soft muscles soon grov hard and chests expand as Barney puts the fellows through their paces. Sixteen to eighteen classes offer men on the campus a chance to participate in basketball, baseball, playground ball, volleyball, handball, golf, tennis, wrestling, tumbling and track, and train future coaches and instructors in physical education. The thirty majors in the field this year testify to its popularity, hich is partially explained by the fact that most of last year ' s physical education majors obtained J« 1933-34 Approximately seventy-five per cent of the boys participated in some form of the varied program of intramural athletics v hich was a regular feature of campus activity this year. Professor Burt was the director ex-officio and Virgil Prugh was the active director who did everything from thumbtacking the notices on the bulletin board to keeping a record of the wins and losses. Indoor baseball A as the only intramural sport of the fall term. The tournament v inner was the team composed of Sumpter (captain), Bowers, Berry, Lontis, Kinsley, Law, Pletcher. In the winter term on every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday between 6:15 and 9 o ' clock, the numerous games of the four leagues of basketball were played off. In the first league seven players were chosen by chance to be on each team, Roland Dubois and his teammates, hHarrell, Lindley, Berkebile and hHoover, easily walked away with the tournament. ■ INTRAMURAL WINNERS 1 INTRAMURAL PROGRAM No freshmen had been included in the first league. When the freshman league was formed, the students who had studied methods of teaching physical education coached the teams. The team directed by Dilling and Thompson met in the final game with the one drilled by Guyer and Robison. Gibbs, Kiracofe, Berry, Ferverda, Amber, Whitmer, McCune and Lower were on the winning Dilling-Thompson combination. During the last five weeks of the winter term, an independent league played off a series of games. The winning team was composed of the members of the winter term theory and practice basketball class: Dubois, captain and center,- Robison and Waggoner, forwards,- Guyer and Cordier, guards,- and Stine and Byerly, reserves. Known as the NRA team, they vv ' on all of their games in the league and beat the college B team two out of three times. The only team giving them any real com- petition was the Spikes : Eidemiller (captain), D. Studebaker, Kiracofe, Bridge and Watts. In the last eight minutes of the game, the NRA team played with four men, winning the game fourteen to ten. The officials for these league gomes were Yarger, Driver, Neff, Lehman, Cullers, Wyse and Williams. For the interclass tournament, Dubois, Smalzried, Williams and Snider were the senior, junior, sophomore and freshman officials respectively, none of these officiating when one of their class teams played. Each class was represented by A, B and C teams. The senior A team, composed mostly of the former NRA squad, was defeated by the freshman A team. The fresh- man B team downed the sophomore B group, and the C team did likewise for the sophomore C basketeers, giving the seven, five and three points all to the freshman class. In the spring, hard baseball and soft ball tournaments were run off. Golf and tennis were also on the intramural program with the double elimination method used. A general field day was planned for the latter part of May,- baseball, track and a tug-of-war ere the scheduled features of the day. Manchester College has one of the most extensive intramural programs in the state. Beginning next fall, the system of granting awards upon the length of par- ticipation rather than the luckiness of the winning team will be adopted in the men ' s intramural program. Girls are also given opportunity to make home runs, sink baskets, and swing tennis racquets in intramural competition. Of the nine teams which played, Kothryn Beone (captain), Miriam Fidler, Elizabeth and Esther Spocht, Eloise Engelman, Mary Flora, Betty Lake, Evelyn Clair and Martha Grossnickle v ere the v inners. Basketball was the center of interest during the winter term. The winners end of the tournament was won by Wanda Walter (captain), Sara Studebaker, Dorothy Eby, Ruth Slobaugh, Mary E. Finch and Elizabeth Miller, and the losers ' end by Mary Shermerhorn (captain), Lucy Beane, Phyllis FHardenbrook, Lois Eidson, Ethel FHeltzel and Jean Widaman. The latter team then took the tournament. In the volleyball finals a like situation occurred. The team composed of Ruth Weaver (captain), Ruth Wenger, Dorothy Eby, Vevo Ambler, Lois Eidson, hJelen Savage, Ruth Slobaugh and Vera Butt won one round, and the team composed of Marie Chambers (captain), Mildred Porks, Phyllis FHardenbrook, Mary Schermer- horn, Donnobel Brugh, Gertrude Radatz, Mary Reahord and Dorotha Eby won the second round and the tournament. Other intramural sports engaged in during the spring term were golf and tennis. Small black and gold letter M pins were given to all intramural winners. STUDENT MANAGERS Darwin Bright Leiand Blocher STUDENT MANAGERS . . . What is that man for, Daddy? Why, he ' s the student manager See the big ' StuMgr ' on his sweater? He provides towels to throw at the players when they stop playing for a minute, and he carries water, like thev do to the circus elephants. Whenever the boys take a big bus ride, he sees that they get enough to eat and that they get safely home. And lots of other things. I think his name is Dar- win Bright, although I ' ve heard him called ' Darling ' ; the black-haired fel- low helping him is Leiand Blocher. Now watch the game, son. CHEER LEADERS . . . Gesticulating imploringly, the three M. C. cheer leaders attempt to extract noise and enthusiasm from football and basketball crowds who, too often, apathetically wait for things to just happen. In case these freshmen have never written in your autograph album . . . Paul Homer is reputed to be a descendant of the Grecian Homer (that s why he s so interested in main- taining the Spartan spirit),- little Bobby McCune has the distinction of being the shortest (one of them had to be); and William Tobias Russell is just Bill (who writes compositions in brov n ink). Paul Homer 104 Robert McCune Bill Russell CHEER LEADERS SECTION FOUR CAMPUS -1 MISS HELEN OVERMEYER 1933 Queen of the Mas MAX KRANING Student of the Year Laying aside his high white fur shako symbohc of his college endeavor, this spring Max Kraning dons the black cop and gown symbolic of graduation, of the commencement of hard-hitting reality. • The college will continue, but it will be without the presence of the senior whom two-thirds of the student body considered the most outstanding personolity in the class of ' 34. Following this demonstration of student opinion, the Aurora recognizes Max Kraning as the student-of-the-year, representative of the quality of leadership, scholarship, character and service of M. C. students. • Perhaps the most significant of Mr. Kraning ' s contributions to the college is his work with musical organizations, as director of the concert and the marching bands, the latter organized by Mr. Kraning last year, hie carried the leading role in The Piper ' and the part of Moses in Pharaoh ' s Daughter . He is also the number one tennis player on the campus and has won many intercollegiate tennis matches. Both to provide an interesting feature page in the Aurora and to give recognition to those vv ho deserved recognition, the Aurora staff sponsored a student vote last February to deter- mine whom the student body believed to be the leading campus personalities. • Each student voted for a certain number from each of the four classes,- when the vote was counted, those receiving a high aggregate vote were photographed and their identities kept secret until the advent of the 1934 Aurora. Five seniors, five juniors, three sophomores, and two freshmen had sufficiently high votes to merit the honor. • This galaxy of stars of first magnitude bright- ness were representative of almost every activity in the college. The fifteen included presi- dents of twelve organizations, a director of two bands and an orchestra, three editors, seven debaters, three members of the college quartets, eight musically inclined persons, five assistants to professors, two football players and one cheer leader. And this does not take into con- sideration the offices for next year, one of which will be held by Newell Smalzried; he v as elected in March to be president of the student body for 1934-35. Another March election made FHelen Grace Meyer May Queen and Catherine Canfield her maid of honor.

Finally the exercises were held in the high school auditorium. There the retiring queen, Mildred Meyer, graciously crowned Helen Overmeyer, the chosen fairest of the junior maidens. In her honor the May Pole was wound and several Grecian dances were given . . . And then — Apollo himself, driving the chariot of the sun, appeared. Within an hour, the May Day parade of five fanciful floats was slowly moving toward the college. When nearly there, Apollo deserted them and Pluvius again descended. The beautiful white swan of the sophomores lifted its wings and flew away, and the other floats were transformed into Grecian ruins. HOMECOMING Homecoming . . .

OFFICIALLY, FRESHMAN INITIAT the freshmen cleaned the dormitory rooms allotted to them by the committee. When these good deeds were performed, the fresh- men assembled on the Ad building steps. Graciously they responded to Evan Kinsley ' s requests for impromptus. Instead of the usual cloudburst of water from the upper stories, a surprising shower of confetti cli- maxed the adventure on the steps. . . . To vivify their intrinsic greenness the fresh- man girls recovered pebbles from a pail of green dye. The freshman lads entered into the more strenuous activity of a two-mile cross country race which turned out to be a six-mile jog when certain malicious upper- ION DAY BEGAN AFTER LUNCH WHEN classmen misdirected the course. . Meanwhile Dad Conkling and President Brubaker had been towed to the athletic field by the feminine half of the class. Standing on the river bank and then retreat- ing to the bleachers, the crowd waited and waited until at last the first of the weary six-milers reached his goal and received the crown of achievement. . . . After the most mockish kind of a football gome inspired by the most tinpanish jing-janglish freshie co-ed band, the freshmen were happy to believe that the worst of college was over — except for the leaf-raking episode about a month later. eiMIMIIIWIILT..WTHH-.— ifr. ' ' ■■- tt- tW TALENT— IMPORTED . . . Outstanding of the visiting speakers was Dr. S. Parkes Cadman, who gave a powerful address, Civilization at the Cross-roads , before the Homecoming audience. Pre- viously, Dr. Frederick Shannon of Chicago had given a campus address. Other speak- ers during the year were Governor Paul V. McNutt, Kermit Eby, W. Russell Shull, H. H. Nininger, Ben Stoner, Roxie Lefforge, and Samuel S. Wyer. . . . Paul Garrett ' s flute and clarinet solos, the musical Matthews starring Master Stuart, the recital by Frida Savini and Jan Chiapusso, and the colorful program of the King Male Quartet provided something else to write home about. THE 1933 FIRE . . . Hastily jumping out of windows or leaving more sedately through the usual exit, the professors left the Wednesday faculty meeting when someone reported that the building was on fire. . . . Clouds of smoke rolled out of the windows of the paper room. Some of it curled up through the floor where the freshmen were holding a class meeting, but they calmly finished their business. The town fire engine arrived, giving the scene a more realistic touch. Some brave boys raked out bales of charred paper, confirming the fact that there was a fire. . . . Curious students gather around the smoking window, but others stood pas- sively on the library steps or remained in their rooms unconscious of any excitement. The day was a just-right October one for the fire,- classes (most of them) met as usual at eleven o ' clock. GANGS Just how they happen is known only to the gangs themselves. • . . Birds of a feather start flocking together,- they like being together; they do things together,- they debunk together,- they have their pictures taken together. . . . Whether at chicken dinners and hamburger feeds or at philosophical and ethical discussions, gangs consider themselves congenial company. . • . Whatever the weather, you ' ll find them together; and you ' ll rather wish you belonged to a gang too. WEEK-ENDERS . . . Tired of seeing us around? But surely if you forgot all about our actions in classes, our accustomed seats in tfie library, our rendezvous in tfie dim halls, and our careless strolls oblivious of censorship — what could you find to fill so great a gap in your conversation? . . . Just imagine the let- down sort of feeling you ' d hove if you should chance by one of our familiar meeting places and find — there in the shadows — only layers and layers of undisturbed dust. From the post office in tfie lower port of what was once known as Bumgerdner hiall to the chimes tower on the fourth floor of the Ad building, students retain memories. . . . Registration is begun at the registrar ' s window; money is paid in and out of the treasurer ' s office,- the green carpet is in a convenient location. In the basement, a home ec lab, the book store, a costume room, social rooms and some unclassified places are neighbors. The scope of the second floor classrooms is from music to mathematics, while the third floor embraces society halls, and the departments of physics and commerce. . . . All in all, probably more fates have been sealed in the Ad building than in any other building on the campus. No I can ' t just now,- I have a class. Simple, isn ' t it? We are tied to respon- sibility because we scratched our pens over matriculation cards at the beginning of the term. Our time is no longer our own; we must attend classes and go to lob or else tell the prof the reason why. We must burn midnight oil when we ' d rather burn our candle at both ends. We must suffe r the indignity of blue books and the ignominy of objective test. We must agree with professors, pretending that they are all-wise. We must receive our average reward in silence and go forward with new courage within us. . . . Still we find ourselves com- ing back for more, and at lost graduating with mortar boards on our heads. And after that . . . OAKWOOD When two hundred girls hve together under one roof, things happen. There ore such prosaic things as studying or ironing, and there are such quiet things as watching the synthetic Fire in the fireplace, and there are even such unusual things as feeds and gang gatherings,- but one of the most thrilling things is when Miss Wise presses a buzzer and one has to run down two flights of stairs to answer the telephone, only to discover that one has an overdue library book and will one please return it? BLOKE-WOOD . . . Early in the morning people get up while the two minute bell is ringing, grab an old leather jacket and tear down the steps, making a noise like a million ele- phants,- and you can ' t sleep. During the day the guy in the next room is either pecking away at a tinny typewriter or practising soft solos on his big bass horn,- and you can ' t sleep. At night a gang troops into your room and starts a fight, a bull session, or a popcorn feed; and you can ' t sleep. And then they criticize you for going home week-ends to rest up. „,-_ MEMORIES . . .

TOWN AND GOWN Seven or eight centuries have passed since the first mob of victory-flushed college students invaded the business section of the first college tovvn and staged a snake-dance on its Main Street, with the college marching band and the champion jousting team leading the way. While they celebrated their victory, their most likely reception from the toN nspeople was not composed of wel- come flogs and pleasant smiles, but rotten eggs, putrefying vegetables, or even sturdy clubs. For few merchant men of the Middle Ages v ere sympathetic with the humanists and educators of the time; their antagonism was born of a deep- seated prejudice against learning — an almost inborn hatred of the gown, symbol of scholarship. And their feelings were reciprocated by the gowns — the college boys — who seldom treated the merchants with respect, and took the utmost liberty with property or whatever else of the merchant ' s lay in their path. Leaf through the pages that follow, hiere are the symbols of a new conception of the town-ond-gown relationship,- here the merchants of your college town express their appre- ciation for your patronage, and their desire to serve you again in whatever way they are able. Because they are honest, progressive merchants, dispensing honest merchandise and valuable service; because they hove shown their fine spirit of co-operation with Manchester College in so many ways, of which these advertisements are only a small part, but a significant one; and because they help provide for you this 1934 Kaleidoscopic Aurora, we urge you to express your gratitude to them in every way you can. Manchester College ' ' Home of the Aurora ' A Standard College — State Accredited. A broad curriculum — College, Education, Business, Music, Art. An able faculty of forty members.

And we bet it would just make your side-burns curl (if you fiave side-burns) to fiear about flow the fierce red-skins used to attack the college just at the break of down bock in them days (of course they didn ' t, but if they would have, it would make your side-curls burn). Then Finally Prexy came and then all the Indians ran away, which has always been something of a puzzle to us. Then in 1933 another tribe of Indians came and moved into the third floor of the boys ' dorm, only this time they did not wear loin-cloths, and called themselves such names as Bowers and Townsend and Russell , which alone is enough to moke your curl-burns side. This year the board of directors is happy to announce that the building has not been completely torn do ' n yet, but the way things appear now it won ' t last much longer. 36 BURDGE ' S STORES School Supplies Books Candies Gifts and Stationery Pure DRUGS and Drug Sundries CHINA GLASSWARE POTTERY PAINTS WALL PAPER CANDIES SCHOOL SUPPLIES —ALWAYS FRESH —A COMPLETE LINE MILLINERY LINGERIE AT MORRIS 5c and lOc to $1.00 STORE OUR PRICE WILL INTEREST YOU OUR SERVICE WILL PLEASE YOU LOCATION If you know v here North Manchester is, you won ' t have much trouble finding the college, if you know where Indiana is.

Follow me, boys? GROUNDS AND BUILDINGS If you don ' t know just how to get to the grounds, you may have a hard time finding them. But we suggest that the simplest method is to just go ahead and gulp down the cup of coffee, if you can. As to the buildings, you ' ll find the best one behind that little bush on the front campus. There ' s another nailed onto a board which says Oakwood hiall at the other end of the grounds. But the one that is used the most is the Thomas Marshall grade school. And the funniest thing about it all is that the building, as such, is not used so much; but the playground behind the thing seems to be a big attraction. Then the playground, as such, doesn t seem to be used very much, because it s so dark. We can ' t for our very life figure out why people use that building so much, but people have told us about it and in the interests of history we feel that it ought to be recorded. So you II just have to use the facts as you think best. THE LIBRARY Libraries are a great thing, we guess. Anyway that ' s what they told us when we came as fresh- men, and as far as we can discover, ours hasn ' t changed any in these 5 years. The Chicago Tribune and the rest of the funny papers are along the south wall in a little rack. ENDOWMENT Bock in ' 08 they dismissed school for a week when the endowment fund reached $50.00, and now, after some years of working on the nerves of the wealthy of this vicinity, we are privileged to announce that the total is $51.08. 137 BRADY ' S THE STORE FOR MEN Where you will find HIGH GRADE CLOTHING FURNISHING GOODS, HATS, CAPS and SHOES at Reasonable Prices KROGER GROCERY BAKING CO.

COLLEGE PUBLICATIONS The Bark: not knowing just how to explain it, we looked in the dictionary and found this: To clamor,- to solicit patronage, as for a cheap show or shop . Webster was a smart guy. Oak Leaves: This paper is also a very good one, and since it comes out a week after the Bark, it prints over again what the Bark had the week before. The Aurora: This is the college annual. It is a very excellent piece of work, with high ideals, splendid reporting of the year ' s events, and with a staff of workers which would be hard to equal anywhere. If the college officials would not interfere, that bunch of busy beavers could really accomplish things up in the Aurora office. LECTURES AND ENTERTAINMENTS Which means, of course, that lectures are not entertaining. On Saturday night when a program is given in chapel the West Parlor is usually deserted and makes a swell place to spend the evening. Also, we are told, the postoffice, back of the gym, down the railroad tracks, or the covered bridge are quite satisfactory. Where the lecture part of it comes, of course, is the next day in Prexy ' s office. FORENSICS Manchester College, always so far ahead of the parade that people seem to forget she ' s there at all, long ago dropped the trite word debaters ' when referring to members of her speech com- partment, and quietly adopted the term toreador . For, as Professor Beauchamp explained, they throw the bull. The speech boys throw parties, too, according to survivors. PHYSICAL EDUCATION Once e dropped in on a girls ' physical education class by mistake, and discovered the reason why the fellers go home for the week-end. The boys, also, wear funny clothes in the gym classes, only not so much so. ♦ ♦ Minor activities in which the young people of the college indulge are musical organizations, literary societies, student government, and roller-skating. And attending chapel. 13S THE PROFESSOR COMES THROUGH Publishing an Aurora without a lot of jokes on the faculty would be just like taking a shower without any water, or something. So, if it must come, we thought we ' d put it right here at the be- ginning and get it over as soon as possible. Come, one and all, and drink at this perpetual gush of humor, maybe. When a professor reads a paper some student has handed in he oftentimes leans back in his chair and laughs, and laughs, and laughs, and laughs. (The Editor got tired of my giggling.) If you think I ' ve misrepresented the facts of the case I would kindly beg you to take just enough of your precious time someday to peek into that English office where two of our Englishmen hold forth. I guarantee a couple of good laughs or your paper back. But, as someone once said, ' He who laughs last, — laughs last. So this time the poor tortured students are going to have the last laugh. You may be holding your sides when you start to read what is to follow, but you ' ll be holding your head when you get through. We ' ve attempted to be completely just in our selection of these little excerpts from real life, picking them at random from countless thousands of cases, but if any of the professors feel slighted I ' m sure next year ' s staff would be more than willing to accept their con- tributions for next year ' s book. CASE NO. 1. At a faculty party this year. Doctor Reber entertained the group by singing several impromptu songs in German — great applause. Inspired by the applause the Doctor sat down. After other members of the faculty had displayed their talent — perhaps with not quite so much gusto — Dr. Reber lifted his voice majestically to suggest, Don ' t you think it ' s about time for another Dutch Solo? From the back of the room came his wife ' s voice: No more Dutch Solos! In common usage the word master ' s is often inserted instead of wife ' s . Other things being equal, perhaps the latter would be most fitting here We leave the final choice to you. ' Home of Good Eats ' We Appreciate Your P. tro. age HICKMAN HUFFMAN RESTAURANT 106 N. Walnut Street FILER Service Station COMPLETE CAR SERVICE Phone 529 DAY or NIGHT CASE NO. 2. To an educational convention (you know, those meetings where all the teachers devise methods how not to give students good grades) went several prominent members of our faculty — among whom was the Education Department ' s Dr. hlomer. Peacefully they were traveling along the Maumee River (which, if you re- member your geography, empties into Lake Erie). Suddenly the good Dr. voiced his thoughts: Isn ' t it queer that the farther up this river you go, the wider it gets A statement like that, is, to our mind, enough to change the course of any river, let alone the Maumee. CASE NO. 3. Those of you who ore in any of Dr. Keim s classes know what a subtle, yet delightful sense of humor he has. And you no doubt also know that sometimes humorous remarks are made with malice of forethought. Take this one f ' rinstance. The recounter and interpreter of historical knowledge was recounting and interpreting per usual one day concerning the trip a certain group of early Nev Englonders were making through the, at the time, wild middle west. He told us what they saw at Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis and Nashville. But , he said, one of the most peculiar exhibits was to be found (Continued) I3Q in Cincinnati, which was a rephco of hell. Oh well! CASE NO. 4. To omit the English Department from such a collection just ain ' t the proper thing to do. So, I think we ' ll tell ya about something we seen on Prof. Conkling ' s blackboard the other day. h e was dividing the Short-Story into different classifications, and the blackboard looked something like this: I. Child Psychology Stories b Adventure Stories b III. Animal Stories But when he came to the next division it looked like this: IV. Love Stories a. XXXXXX b. xxxxxxxxxxx Saying, as he ' rote, no doubt, in this division there is considerable OVER-LAPPING. CASE NO. 5. Miss Johnson doesn ' t matter — she just works there. Into the office sometimes known as hers, stepped a brisk young man. Is Miss Wenger in? he inquired. Miss Wenger wasn ' t, which obvious fact Miss Johnson calmly pointed out to him. Several days later a timid young man pushed open the door of the Johnson sanctum. May I see Miss Wenger? Yes, he might hove been granted that privilege, but she was out — to lunch maybe. The next day two eager young men frisked into the now familiar room. Where may we find Miss Wenger? they asked M. I. J. (the person who works there). Easily adopting her sense of humor to the situation, she said, I don ' t kno ; but her telephone number is 354. Miss Johnson doesn ' t mind — she just works there. HOME TOWN BOY MAKES FOOD Here at school we have a tendency to think of our dear professors just as they are today — without the slightest thought of their pasts. Of course, v e realize that perhaps it would be just as well not to think of them since many of them may be a trifle shady, or a trifle pathetic.

Regardless of that, though, many of them ore — in the words of the professor himself, — excruciatingly illustrious (apologies to Webster). We humbly submit just one cose. And right now let us say that we do not hesi- tate to record this bit of history, since the professor who is to ploy the leading role in it imparted the facts of the case to his class with much gusto, etc., etc., etc. It appears that said professor, when he was a young feller , heeded that unresistable Go west, young man, go west . So, to make a story which should be much shorter than it is, as short as possible, we soon find our hero engaged in introducing the west to the very best in cereals. (Not the kind that come out of hHollywood.) We can imagine him, in all his youthful enthusiasm, trying to persuade some salesmon-weory housewife to keep the door open long enough for him to point out the advantages to be gained by eoting Snow Flakes , that new cereal that melts in your mouth. It was just a question of which melted first — the housewife ' s heart or our hero s pride. At least we know that he was very cereas about it.

EXCERPTS FROM OUR OWN BEST COLLEGE NEWSPAPER Doc hdamer returned recently from a trip to Detroit and he says the things that struck him most were the autos. We wonder how it feels for the College Bookstore to be robbed itself. Mrs. Bob Thompson who nearly killed her husband yesterday, was given another chance by the Town Marshall today. Pappy Shull says he sow a naturally pretty girl on the street the other day. Galen hiauger ' s great-grandfather died today. He was born in Wisconsin in 1820 and moved to the United States in 1860. Paul Geisenhof tells us that they have a new waitress over at Dreamland — accord- ing to the thumb prints on the butter. That ' s L. M.

Doc Ives says that if we all ran from temptation there v ouldn ' t be nothing but girls on the street. Miss Wanda Wilkin says she ' s going to leave her eyebrows grow until we get into the League of Nations. While eotin ' a roasting ear the other day Clifford Nichols failed to slow down at the turn and bit his thumb off. Minnie of Motheo says that if you take away the annual banquet from the overage girl ' s Society there isn t nothing left. Jim says that nobody ever looks the second time at a low-necked man.

She was a roguish nineteen, but her dancing brown eyes saw more than his adventuring blue ones,- she met life philosophically.

We never knew whether she really believed in fairies or if they only lightened the tedium of her shyness. hHer thoughts were delight- ful adventures into all sorts of places, and blessed was the confidante who was given even the briefest of happiness there. hHer orthodox views were splintered by the keenness of his caustic comment. The twinkle in his eyes half disclosed the sense of humor which lurked beneath his rather terrifying words. hie approached his lessons seriously and was never quite satisfied unless his teachers considered him the alpha on their roll of honor. A thick crust of apparent independence covered her whimsicality and tenderness. She was perfectly poised, not unconscious that the boy friend was listening to her singing. Always she wore a pair of beads (and she had endless varieties) — did this maiden of uncertain age. hHer long hair had obviously been put to bed every night by her own hands. Slightly raising his eyebrows he looked up at the speaker, a half quizzical smile on his lips, his eyes inscrutable. • Believing in his own self-sufficiency, he is growing a mustache. • In his books and in his writing, he found solace for his personal unhappiness. • hHe was so busy taking walks with hHer and playing tennis with Them that he hod to ask an acquaintance to write his term paper for him. hHe was saddened when the acquaintance found herself too busy. • She knew how to listen. Girls used to lie across her bed and tell her about the simply marvelous time they had had that evening, or Why I wish he would . . . ' , or how Every little thing he does makes me . Sometimes she laughed, but always they came back to tell her the next chapter. She knev how to listen. • hHer eyes were often big with wonderment and she spoke with childish simplicity and directness. But the matron found it interest- ing to check on her goings out and her comings in. • Surprised at encountering them on the dark stairway, she adapted herself to the situa- tion with a single Good grief! • The shiny blackness of his shoes was matched only by the perfect crinkles in his hair. • hHe might have succeeded if he hadn t talked quite so much about himself. • Gone was her laughter and her rapid-fire talking. In their place was a dullness, a slowness of speech, which portrayed a mind which rarely received flashes of intelligence. • hHe made the rounds every evening. With one hand on the door knob he glanced around the half-lighted room, noted its sole occupant, commented briefly on the fact, and closed the door. • hHis sophistication was his pride,- and he felt a righteous condescension when he had a dote with the nice little thing . • hHigh honors did not dissipate his every day friendliness. • Night and the shadows falling awakened memories and stirred vague hopes and dim regrets.

To acquire an imagination. A philosophy of life. Not to have library fines. To disguise boredom. A voice personality. To adapt my sense of humor.

TAKE IT AWAY I had twelve bottles of whiskey in my cellar and my wife made me empty the contents of each and every bottle down the sink, so I proceeded to do as my wife desired and withdrev ' the cork from the first bottle, poured the contents down the sink, with the exception of one glass which I drank. I then withdrew the cork from the second bottle and did likewise, with the exception of one glass which I drank. I extracted the cork from the third bottle, emptied the good old booze down the bottle, except a glass which I drank. I pulled the cork from the fourth sink and poured the bottle down the glass when I drank some. I pulled the bottle from the cork for the next and drank one sink out of it and then threw the rest do n the bottle. I pulled the sink out of the next cork, and poured the bottle down the sink, all but one sink which I drank. I pulled the cork from my throat, poured the sink down the bottle, and drank the cork. Well, I had them all empty and steadied the house with one hand and counted the bottles, which vi ere 24, so I counted them again when they came around again, and I had 74 and as the house came around, I counted them and finally I had all the houses and bottles counted, so I pro- ceeded to wash the bottles, but I couldn ' t get the brush in the bottles, so I turned them inside out and wiped them all, and went upstairs and told my better half what I did and Oh Boy, I ' ve got the wifest lil ' nice in the world.

The rumor is that the club faded out of existence because they couldn ' t meet without having food, and food cost money, and they ran out of funds, so they couldn ' t have any meetings, because they wouldn t meet unless there was food.

S3 THE LEGEND OF SLEEPY FELLOWS Last fall (this is the story) when the due was still on the fall term ' s tuition and freshmen still thought what great fun it would be to paddle on upperclassman, a few of those higher in the intellectual realm thought it necessary to introduce o couple of the more obstreperous freshmen to the clear, cool waters of Ke-na-po-co-mo-co River. Accordingly, a small, smooth-functioning escort v as formed, and before you could say Prexy the yearlings were shivering on the river bank. For reasons too obvious to mention, the dunking party disintegrated as soon as their duties v ere over. Some went along the river, some along the road, and some along the railroad tracks. V. P. and B. B. took the road route, and wished they hadn ' t. For no sooner hod they gotten on the road than the headlights of a car glared on them, and, not v ishing to be run over, or something, they ducked quickly back into the bushes. But, woe to us! they had tarried too long, and the cor stopped. A gruff voice ordered them to come out. No, the voice did not wear a black hat and carry a flash- light. It wore a shiny star and carried a gun. You guessed it — the sheriff! Without so much as a please , the arm of the law ordered them into his car, at the same time hurting their feelings by accusing them of making off with some one else s car — you know, stealing. But after a few hours of third degree, their characters were found to be quite pure and without blemish. The arm of the law relaxed its grip. But it vi os late, and the ex-convicts knew that the boys at the dorm would try to pry into their personal affairs anyway if they came in at that hour,- so, to avoid undeserved embarassment, they got into the gym and flopped on a couple wrestling mats. Come the dawn, and our heroes did not rise and dress, because they hod never undressed. Instead they hustled back toward the dorm to pretend they were just getting up a little early. But, again, woe is us! for they had not gone more than a hundred feet when cruel fate again loomed up before them, this time in the form of one of our own professors. It didn ' t take her long to come to the point, which was that during the night some malicious boys had eased her car out to points unknown, and you fellows were the ones who did it, too, she glared. Besides being flabbergasted, the boys were very much put out by this additional accusation. But that didn ' t keep them from being summoned into Prexy ' s office, where they found it the better part of wisdom to carefully trace their activities of the preceding night.

And it chanced that his way Icy through the Land Where the Dead Themes Go. As he passed through this land, he noticed that some of the themes (the landscape was covered with them) hod particular sentences which made the Pilgrim smile or frown or have some other violent emotion. So, being a most methodical Pilgrim, he took out his little black imitation leather notebook and scribbled down a few choice statements. Sad to relate, the Pilgrim never reached the city of his aspirations, for he died of the ignoble disease of Eeminus. Among his effects was the black imitation leather notebook containing the following: Everyone knows that those of the younger generation will go to the movies whenever they get a chance, so why not improve their tastes instead of placing the blame altogether on the pro- ducers in fdollywood?

But somehow when I think about relinquishing our official meeting ground, of permitting those close bonds of work and comradeship A ' hich hoveflourished among us to silently droop and disappear, I can ' t, for all my courage, keep back the feeling down deep in my heart that a chapter of my life is closing, and that it will not reopen. We ' ve hod so much fun together. Sometimes when we should hove been mounting pictures we ' ve had sword fights, or talked about our professors. Sometimes when copy didn ' t get written just when it should have been we ' ve kidded each other about it, and turned the radio on a little louder. But now the book is out, finally. And you ve been so swell about it all. You ' ve done your work when no one asked you to. You ' ve suffered the ignominy of C ' s and Inc ' s just because you chose to spend your time writing copy instead of term papers. You ' ve gotten rubber cement smeared on your fingers when you might hove been practicing your music. But I hope it ' s been worth it. I hope that you, too, have found a new world in which to live — a world full of pleasure, of work, of struggle — shaped and created by human hands and minds — like your own. So now in parting, if part we must, may I express to everyone of you my deepest appreciation for all you ' ve done. Each was indispensable to his own particular task; each performed his task well. Without you, there would be no annual. With you, there could be no peace. Sincerely, STUART VAN DYKE
