BEGINNINGS AT ROANOKE The institution which is now Manchester College had its beginning in a little frame build- ing in Roanoke, Indiana. Fifty years have passed, crude desks, equipment and teaching methods have given way to more modern pedagogy. :£ m V„;« A A ' f Xf ifr (From Pel III Trcbilcuck ' s painting) PRESIDENT WINGER Pane fourteen Time was when Manchester College was a weak, struggling group of conscientious faculty and students. The first quarter century of her existence was spent in a search for a personality possessed of the qualities necessary to strengthen her position. Such a man was finally found. His tireless energy and undying devotion have placed Manchester among the leading institu- tions of higher learning in the middle west. Friend to all, author, scholar .... just plain Prexy. Page fifteen ADM I N I S T R AT ION Prof. Kintner, Prof. Eiken- berry, Mr. Snyder, Dr. Cor- dier, Prof. Ikenberry, Dr. Holl, Pres. Winger. This year has found a concerted effort on the part of the Administration and the student body to effect a closer under- standing for the purpose of working out a more satisfactory social existence on the campus. Chapel seating was brought up- to-date, with men and women sitting together. Faculty homes were offered for parties, and plans for a college operated grill are being discussed. Prof. A. R. Eikenberry was appointed Dean of Men to allow Dr. Holl to devote all of his time to his duties as Dean of the College. These are only a few of the changes accomplished. Dr. Cordier has also been added to the personnel of the executive board, taking office next September. Page sixteen FRED R. CONKLING, A. B., A. M. English JULIA VANDERVORT, A. B., A. M.

As important a part of the democracy which characterizes the Manchester campus as the college administration is the student administration. Student president, men ' s and women ' s government, student council, student court, all are integral parts of Man- chester democratism .... Page twenty Early in the spring of 193 8 the student body cast its vote for the person who was to lead them through the school year of 193 8-39. Filling all expectations, Hubert Doc Cordier stepped into this most responsible position climaxing a success- ful college career. Having capably headed his class during the freshman and sophomore years, Doc Cordier was the logical choice for student prexy. Back in the 1936 Aurora we can see him perched on the arm of a chair helping to solve some of the weighty problems which confronted the student council then. Most any Monday night this year you could have found him similarly occupied. Hubert limited himself to no one field of activities. As football player and captain he was perhaps most widely known and admired. In drama, debate, oratory, Aurora staff, Rhetoria and many other campus organizations equal success was his. Outstanding among his triumphs as student pr esident was the all-school outing at Camp Mack. Remember? Listed in Who ' s Who Among Students in American Uni- versities and Colleges we find his name both in 193 8 and 1939. In other words he ' s just an all-round fellow. Why! at the breakaway banquet he even broke loose and went musical. STUDENT PRESIDENT HUBERT CORDIER STUDENT COUNCIL Front row: Edith Blough, Ruth Roop, secretary; Jeanne Kendall, John Hickman, Maxine Heath, Robert Zigler, Merlin Eikenberry. Back row: Vernon Stinebaugh, Inez Goughnor, Wilbur Eiken- berry, vice-president; Gene Gulp, treasurer; Beth Flora, James Fol- tenger, Hubert Cordier, president; Edwin Keller. 9:00 — Student council comes to order (unless the fourth quarter of the important pillow fight of the season is still in progress); 9:05 — furtive glances at watches; 9:08 — he ' s not here yet; 9:10 — he ' s late! — another five cent fine for the swimming party. Or maybe he won ' t come at all — better yet — a dime! But those fifteen august members of student coun- cil do accomplish things; they have their serious moments. (Sometimes Dean Holl sits in on the meetings.) Compared with the existence of Manchester College, the student government would seem very young. This year marks its fourteenth birthday. And this year ' s student council is meeting — and solving — many of the same problems which the original fifteen members did in 1925. How does it happen that the Homecoming events move off as they should? Why were we so lucky as to have the Shakespearean players on our campus? How are arrangements made for all-school banquets? What makes May Day such a success? Who gives the girls a break on breakaway ? — Ask the student council!! Page twenty-two Blokewood Hall just isn ' t the same old place this year — with both Pappy ShuU and Bert Plew away! But life seems to move on as smoothly as ever with the new supervisors of the dorm. President Eikenberry reports that he is well pleased with the responsibility his eleven stalwart co-workers have taken. One of these days before long will be Blokewood ' s night out — a skating party and no ladies allowed! The upperclass fellows returning last fall saw the barn slightly rejuvenated, but nevertheless easily recognized as the same old place. The new buzzer system is an especially valu- able addition. ( Amen! — says Betty.) Anyhow, girls — by the touch of a hand a whole dormitory full of men are available! (These modern developments — what wonders they accomplish!) Another improvement — new fuse boxes controlling only a small portion of the hall. Thought in passing — what can the new dormitory pasti me be? MEN ' S STUDENT GOVERNMENT Row 1 : Sayers, Hersch, Rhode, Eikenberry. Row 2: Showalter, Mathews, Minnich, Kiracofe. Row 3 : Hiatt, Frederick, Baughman. Page twenty-three Row 1: Helen Bitzer, secretary - treasurer; Jeanne Kendall, president; Catherine Metier. Row 2: Miriam Weybright, Ruth Roop, vice- president; Ernestine Hoff. WOMEN ' S STUDENT GOVERNMENT In Oakwood Hall the seven court members plus twelve proctors equals quiet, Miss Wise hopes. But taking into account that the equation becomes a little unbalanced by the pep of two hundred young coeds, the result is often unpredictable and occasionally slightly irregular. Despite the name attached to this body of girls, they really don ' t have such a bad time of it; very seldom is it necessary to hold one of those ominous councils in the matron ' s office. The white card (or psychological stub , as it has been called) is a thing which most of the girls just hear about and never see; oh, but they ' ll never complain!! The President and her court members have a chance to display their artistic ability on Quiet Please signs occasionally displayed. They even play Santa at Christmas time. And, girls, remember that fire drill at 2:00 a. m.? No, it wasn ' t a dream! Those things are all just a part of dorm life. And it is a great life! Page twenty -four The dignified graduates . . . weatherers of student teaching and similar tribulations .... composers of applications .... ambitious. To them it seems but a few weeks since Dean Holl assisted in filling out their first freshman enrollments. Their goal has been reached. Farewell, seniors, we will follow after a little.

TWO YEAR NORMAL The year 1939 marks the passing of one of the oldest insti- tutions on the Manchester campus — the two-year normal course. The two-year graduates pictured on the opposite page are the last students ever to be granted a certificate licensing them to teach in elementary schools with just two years of college training. It is almost with a feeling of regret that we watch the blue gowns and tassels march for the last time. The normal students, because of their unique position, have nearly become a school within themselves, with their own course of study, professors, and projects. SOPHOMORE NORMAL CLASS They have been envied a little, no doubt, by their fellow sophomores as they set out to make their mark in the world with a two-year head start. The disadvantages, however, have far outweighed any advantages we might name. Leaving just as they were getting the feel of college, they were deprived of participation in the seniors plays, student prexy and May Queen elections, junior-senior receptions and the host of other upperclass ac- tivities. And so another venerable institution makes way for modern educational techniques. It has served its purpose well but is now a thing of the past. Page fifty-one The newest members of the college family .... the rhinies. Deprived of the customary initiation rituals this year, they have come along re- markably well. In fact, we have a feeling they will make pretty accept- able sophomores next year ....

MILLER v-tj President of Mount Morris College, 1904-1915 The day was hot and the rain drove the men from the field into the barn. John Smith (I call him John Smith be- cause that was not his name) sat in deep ■meditation. Finally one man asked: John, why so quiet? John replied: I have just been thinking. I have acres of land, head of cattle, head of horses, head of hogs, thousand other lines. Let me mention a few of them. I am indebted to M.M.C. for a revised and enlarged geographical outlook. I was born in Wysox Township, Carroll County, Illinois, U.S.A. But for M.M.C. Wysox Township might have remained the geo- graphical center of my world. Before going to M.M.C. I had been in two other dollars invested in machinery, and oh, so many debts. What he said was true, doubly so the last statement, so many debts. It was in the boom days and John had invested, bought and bought, on the easy payment plan. He had bought but had not al- ways paid, and he saw the day of settle- ment approaching. I, too, owe inuch to Mount Morris Colleg e. So great is my debt I see no way of ever paying it. For that inatter, no student ever pays his educational debt — no student can. What his college gives him cannot be paid for in money. It cannot be measured in dollars. I am not blind to what M.M.C. gave me in scholastic training, but that was not her great contribution. Years have taught me that she made more vital training in counties and had gone to Chicago once — 120 miles from home. M.M.C. gave me a wider horizon, a more distant outlook. At M.M.C. I imbibed the spirit of true democracy. There teachers and students intermingled, lived on a common level, exchanged ideas. Each gave and each re- ceived, and the students, became the richer in knowledge and experience as teachers unselfishly joined them in class, in the dining hall, at chapel, on the campus, and as they engaged in games. There I learned that I could not live to myself alone nor for myself alone. I am indebted to M.M.C. for showing me de- mocracy at its best. So many of my teachers at M.M.C, came from the common home, the good Chris- tian home. They were cursed neither with excessive wealth nor with a superior- Page fifty-six ity complex. They were just men — and occasionally a woman teacher — which made it all the better. They cared for their own room, and like many of the boys, did some of their own laundry work. It meant something to a country boy when his college teacher came into the room, took a chair opposite, laid his hands on the student ' s knees and talked to him as one really interested in the student ' s welfare. Only a small matter, but it carried a world of meaning. Such teachers are great men. I found them at M.M.C. At M.M.C. the teaching of my parents was re-enforced as to the use of money. Both teachers and parents taught me to live within my resources. And that kind of teaching by those who practice it means more than if the same parties had given me money, much of it. It ' s been easier for me to live because of this teaching. I am indebted to M.M.C. on this score. M.M.C. taught me the proper place of religion in daily life. Religion was in the atmosphere, because it was in the lives of the teachers and students, and was basic with the college. M.M.C. gave me a deeper appreciation of my own denomina- tion and a more charitable attitude towards other denominations. I can never repay that debt. At M.M.C. I heard nothing about the sacred duty of the teacher to give intellectual instruction, but not to be concerned about the moral and spiritual welfare of the student body. Such doc- trine did not find fertile soil in Mount Morris College. Life means more to me because of this. Yes, I am indebted to M.M.C. in many ways. She admitted and retained me as a student for five and one half years, allowed me to teach for six years within her walls, accepted me as trustee and man- ager, and tolerated me as president for eleven years. Whatever I have done, whatever I may do in paying for these privileges I can never make settlement in full. My school days were limited to one country school, two state universities and M.M.C, but the institution that did most for me, and to which I owe most, is dear old M.M.C. As an organic institution her days are over, but as an influence she con- tinues to shape and inspire in many quar- ters. May it ever be thus. Paye fifiy-seveii MOVE TO NORTH MANCHESTER when the time came to look about for a more suitable location for their college, the administration at Roanoke chose the quiet little town of North Manchester as best suited to their needs. Loading what meager equipment they had in wagons, they journeyed northwest to the present location of Manchester College. At first the struggling college had little time for anything but serious academic work and study. Today, all sorts of clubs, forensic and music groups supplement the regular classes. Page fifty-eight ff IM i i i The first athletic field seems strange to us ... . Prof. A. R. Eikenberry once taught agri- culture .... basketball is the oldest sport on the campus, they played it outdoors which explains the ample padding . . . . and those were the days of elocution. Beth Flora, presi- dent; Ernestine Hoff, vice-presi- dent; Mary Stone, secretary; Bette Kinsley, treasurer. Y. W. C. A. Come on, Sleepy, Wake up and live; Join Y. W.! So in the popular Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs style Y. W. started its membership drive. But long before this the girls were on the job. There is scarcely a freshman girl who does not come to school anxiously waiting to meet her Y pal. Dear Diary knew the answers to all her questions, What shall I wear to the faculty party? or ' Spose I ' ll look out of place in my sport shoes? Perhaps you received a Christmas card made by a Y girl, or you niay see a lot of hand-knit sweaters over the campus soon. Anyhow — the hobby groups were a great success. Also — we give them a vote of thanks for Mrs. Elliott who talked her way right into our hearts with her common sense and splendid philosophy. Wake up and live? — with Y. W. on the campus you can ' t help yourself. Standing: Bette Kinsley, Ruth Brandt, Inez Goughnour, Miriam Weybright, Ernestine Hoff, Frances Smith.

So Y.M. and Y.W. greeted 650 students as the curtain opened on another year for these two most active organizations on our campus. Y.M. got off for a good start when this year for the first time they inaugurated a porter system to help freshmen fellows and girls move their baggage to their dorm rooms. The concen- tration of red-caps at Oakwood, although unforeseen, is self- explanatory. Slaves of tradition — but this time it is a pleasure since the tradition is to have a campfire by the Kenapocomoco and chal- lenge the fellows to exhaust the supply of hot chocolate and doughnuts. The consistently large audiences proclaimed the popular ap- proval of Dr. Paul Popenoe brought through the joint efforts of Y.M. and Y.W. Interest and enthusiasm in the discussions of campus prob- lems hit a new high. Flash! — the news of the day was carried on the Hot Spots Bulletin Board! Row 1: Edwin Keller, Hubert Cordier, Paul Byers. Row 2: Garland Borden, John Hickman, Paul Hersch, Leland Emrich. Row 3 : Vernon Stinebaugh, Vernon Miller, James Minnich, True- man Yoder. SENIOR PHILOMATHEA Presidents: Frances Smith, Vila Rover, and Irene Winger. Old King Cole was a merry old soul. P.S. — his wife was a Mathean. With this new version of the old rhyme as a selling point, senior Matheans greeted the coeds arriving on the campus last fall. Consistent with the precedent, set years ago, the annual rose tea went down in many a frosh girl ' s diary as a thing of beauty. Laurel and Hardy started off the season with a bit of frivolity for Mathea. The rest of the term these Matheans settled down to more serious business, nursery rhymes. They started with Three Blind Mice and didn t stop till they had fed Old Mother Hub- bard ' s Dog, plucked the posies in the garden of Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary, and found the I.Q. of Simple Simon. Gay banqueters were received in the garden of an old South- ern mansion which furnished a picturesque background for the entertainers. Music, formals, the minuet, flowers, gayety — • pleasant reminiscences of an unforgetable occasion. Page sixty-four Each Friday evening the chapel echoes the strains of Give to others something, receive something, sung by the freshmen sisters of Philomathea. (And are their big sisters proud! Rhetoria, too? — What do you think!) Radio debuts by the dozens! They laughed awhile at Vic and Sade and the Amateur Hour, changed off with Variety Hour and at last drifted off to dreamy Moon River. Flash! It ' s news! Comic strip characters come to life — Blondie and Dagwood; the Katsenjammer kids are on parade. But not for long; all Merry Making Mathean Maids answered the invitation to join in the fun in the social room. Vocal chords were well exercised in the community sing (each one for herself on her own song — that is, as long as she could stay on it. ) Later on they really got together on the folk games. Other programs hint of mystery and enchantment — Mid- night Phantasy and Rhapsody in Blue. And through them all these loyal sisters go on, Singing the same old way; may they never cease to sing their song of loyalty and praise to Philo- mathea. Presidents: Grace McClaren, Geneva Brodbeck, and Iso- bel Rarick. FRESHMAN PHILOMATHEA Page sixty-five PHILORHETORIA Go Rhetoria! Go Rhetoria! greeted all newcomers to the campus. The insistent re- minders were taken to heart by many frosh fellows who really went Rhetoria when the great day came. Even the squirrels, as they scampered over the signs tacked to the old oaks, were seriously considering it. Rhetoria soon came to the fore with a his- tory-making plan for organized participation in interscholastic contests. Extensive rules and specifications were drawn up including all six societies. Ability in spelling, drama, basket- ball and music was tested at successive meet- ings. A splendid idea! We hope it becomes an annual affair. The most publicized program of the year was the lie-detector experiment; and it was to have been for gentlemen, only. Congrats to loyal fellows who turned interior decorators. Philorhetoria — hail to thee. Presidents: Hubert Cordier, Paul Byers, and Elgin Kint- ner. Presidents: Merlin berry, Edwin Kelle Forest Bevington. Eiken- •, and Philophronia, The heart of M.C. Artists, debaters, musicians, actors, organiza- tion officers, representative students — you can find them in Philophronia. Whenever there ' s a scrimmage or a hardwood bout, they ' ll be there full strength. And so were the freshman fellows when the final choice was made. Phronia ' s Old Faithful (parliamentary drill) is varied by Dust of the Road and Music Goes Round and Round (above in Phronia hall). The popular type of program seems to be Who Am I? and What s My Name? (Dementia praecox?!!) Impromptus — the highlight of every society program. Success is measured, not by the knowledge imparted nor the floweriness of speech; rather, by the laughs extracted from the audience are you known. Philophronia ' s banner of purple and gold is waving high. Here ' s to the freshmen of next year who will keep it there! PHILOPHRONIA Page sixty-seven SENIOR PHILALETHEA Presidents: Hilda Ruth Boyer, Bette Kinsley, and In:z Goughnor. Turn over a new leaf To gay Lethean colors. Snatched back by this bit of verse, we recall the gayly painted posters bedecking the halls in early fall. All summer long, minds and fingers were busy making plans for the rush weeks. Due to adverse weather conditions the man in the moon at Leathea ' s annual Blue Moon Tea was suspended from the wall in the gym; but this was no handicap to him as was evidenced a week later when many freshmen girls made their choice. Programs varied widely from Miss Kessler ' s rendition of Madame Butterfly to an operetta and skits. Oh, yes — the impromptu program in which Polly and P. D. sang I Love You Truly. The enchantment of the orient settled over the ban- queters to produce a dinner clever and unique in every way. Here ' s to the blue and white — For you we ' ll fight from day to day and labor hand in hand — the sentiment of every Lethean. Page sixty-eight FRESHMAN PHILALETHEA Presidents: Lois Hartsough, Ruth Sink, and Mary Ka- therine Bright. Classified as one of the infants of Manchester ' s society Hfe, Freshman Lethea nevertheless keeps the social room humming with activity for an hour each Friday evening. Three years ago someone conceived the idea of organizing into six societies instead of the traditional four. Additional op- portunities for active participation were provided by the forma- tion of upperclass and freshmen societies for girls. According to previous members, when you talk about pep — frosh Lethea must be the topic of conversation. Despite the obvious lack of staging equipment available in the social room, these girls came through with some top-notch programs. During the year they covered a good bit of territory. First, they were in Washington with Betty Ann .... then in Florida with Dorris; and finally Ruthie gave them a treat — Pennsylvania. Do you remember all the charming maidens dining amidst Moslem mosques and oriental incense? Freshman Lethea was there! Page sixty-nine MATHEMATICS CLUB Row 1: C. Holsingcr, M. Huffman, J. Porter, L.

Perhaps Pythagoras was right when he stated that — well, you do have the general idea; but proving or disproving that hypothesis is not the purpose of the mathematics club. Theo- retical mathematics is left to those classes in math of finance, etc. Make math practical is their motto. Even a guarantee — We ' ll save you one minute out of every hour of your life! Aside from the fact that attendance at these meetings twice a month cuts out several class periods, math club has other attractions. Mathe- matical programs offer many possibilities — ciphering matches, calculating recreations and puzzles. The cooperation of the chemistry pro- fessor can always be counted upon. Various off-campus speakers were secured during the year. Oh, yes — jokes — we couldn ' t forget them! When it comes to age, this body must be celebrating their 10th year of existence — if Pi ' ofessor Dotterer ' s calculations are right. Page seventy A group of thirty-five scientifically-minded individuals, a sagacious sponsor, a weekly meet- ing place, and the latest research results — prop- erly combined, the end result is Chi Sigma, the national science organization from which our Science Club received its charter. The first official gathering of Manchester Scientists dates back to 1925. Three years later, its constitution was adopted — to pro- mote all things scientific on the campus and to promote a friendly feeling between chemistry, physics, biology and mathematics departments. Science Club without a talk from Dr. Otto Ungenade, consulting chemist of the Fort Wayne laboratories, just wouldn ' t be the same. Dr. H. E. Enders, Dean of the School of Science at Purdue, imparted profound bits of scientific information at one of the bi-weekly meetings. From the same department came Dr. Henry Hass to be a guest speaker. Science speaks in the onward March of Time. Row 1 : E. Kintner, R. Ross, J. Isenbarger, E. Young, S. Grabarczyk, M. Sullivan, F. Rumsyre. Row 2: B. Bechtol, V. Clary, D. Tennant, G. Noff- singer, J.

SCIENCE CLUB Page seveufjj-one CLASSICAL CLUB It ' s the nil desperandum (or figuratively — never say die ) attitude that makes this organization what it is — precisely, a group of about thirty enthusiastic admirers and students of the old Roman heroes. Not only was the banquet of February 13 a celebration in honor of Pan, but there was also a birthday cake for Prof. Reber. (Don ' t let the candles mislead you. Confidentially — sixty-seven of them would have called for a real cake!) At one meeting they were found musing on the Muses, and again Naomi Wenger described Rome, the seat of this ancient glory. We ' ve never heard of Roman hot dogs, but those at the Classical Club wiener roast were good ones! Perhaps you won ' t hear them conversing in Latin, but their gladiatorial combats are exciting enough for anyone. Row 1: D. J. Mowrey, M. Spore, V. Halleck, R. Fox, L. Means. Row 2: P. Plattner, H.

INTERNATIONAL CLUB The current strife among nations seems to have had no damaging effects upon the internal affairs of the International Club; for, according to one official statement made by its presi- dent, the club meets regularly every two weeks — sometimes! This year produced a wealth of international crises challeng- ing the members of this group to activity. The first-hand in- formation of their speakers was equally varied. Their own club sponsor, Dr. Cordier, has been doing extensive lecture work on many phases of the European crisis. Actual vivid experiences and situations in Spain were portrayed by Dan West. Enlightening views on the conditions in Russia were discussed by Raymond Wilson of Philadelphia. Other aspects of the international situa- tion were covered by John S. Moore.

Perhaps your German isn ' t so good, but you couldn ' t help getting the idea of those spirited songs that echo through the halls. Variety must be their motto or, at least, that of their en- thusiastic sponsor; the number of ways to learn German are astounding — ice skating and roller skating parties, bod-sled rides, and wiener roasts. If some enthusiastic German students haven ' t already told you about the two trips to Chicago (taken by Dr. Hafner and her children ), just wait — it won ' t be long. But those serious moments do creep in occasionally. After the Social Studies Conference, an animated discussion of it was held with the help of Kermit Eby, who is a staunch friend of the organization. For activity and enthusiasm, German Club is A-1. Page seventy-four When all the belles mademoiselles and bons messieurs of Man- chester meet, it ' s Le Cercle Francais ; for at these bi-monthly meetings anything but French is ruled out. The answer to roll call is in keeping with this rule and affords an opportunity to develop that ever-illusive correct accent. Especially the secre- tary must be proficient to fulfill her duties. La Fete des Rois is a gala occasion ruled over by a queen, uniquely chosen by the lucky bean in a piece of cake; his royal highness is the lady ' s choice. This year Beulah Book and Gar- land Borden were elevated to the position of royalty — at least, for a night. An American doughboy trying to get around in Gay Paree with newspaper-ads in French would be a dramatic pro- duction to bring a laugh from any audience. So with a laugh and a song (a French one) French Club is adjourned. Row 1: Prof. Reed, O. Pottenger, E. Smith, D. Blough, G. Borden, M. Stump. Row 2 an. H. loupka J. McCormick, G. McClar Krcider, R.

FRENCH CLUB Page seventy-five SUNDAY SCHOOL changes are made and eagerly accepted but the chimes which first rang out seventeen years ago are still a welcome sound on that one day when instead of spurring sleep-dazed pupils on to class, they ring out an invitation to worship, meditation and praise. Familiar — to a greater or lesser degree — with the outer work- ings of the Sunday School, we fail to realize that there is anything behind the scenes. Secretarial duties are heavy — namely, checking that list of absentees. But more than that, much time has been concentrated on the financial program in order that generous amounts of money might be sent to Howard Sollenberger for the relief work which he is carrying on in the Shansi Province of China. Seeing one of their own members of the previous year devote his services to that war-torn population has served as a constant encouragement to the cabinet to carry on the good work they are doing here.

Its 2 5 members go about their work quietly but none the less effec- tively. The Manchester-Bethany program with its basketball and other attractions (?) is practically considered an annual tradition, indispensable to the life of a well-rounded student minister. Basketball games with the Elkhart and Eel River teams have also helped to keep these ministers in trim for their rigorous duties. Discussions of a vital nature concerned church doctrine and the place of religion on our campus and in the world today. Furthermore, they back up their words with actual activities — preaching on call, teaching classes and cooperating with the student volunteers. Our encouragement goes with them in working toward their goal of definite Christian service. STUDENT MINISTERS Page seventy-seven TAU KAPPA ALPHA Row 1: E. Zimmpleman, F. Smith, I. Goughnor.

Congratulations to the members of this 3 -year- old speech organization for their loyalty and tradition of unified activity! The M.C. Club is only one of a great national organization, having for its president Lowell Thomas, well-known news commentator. Our local group sponsors the intramural debate tournament and the speaker ' s bureau. Of all the eligible speech students only a very small per cent are chosen; this year only three persons received this high distinction. Any sense of dignity caused thereby is soon removed by duties of initiation. Imagine talking about yourself exclusively for ten minutes. There ' s an opportunity — indeed, a rare one!

The numbers in which college men turn out for de- bate might serve to confirm the contention that men in general enjoy nothing more than expounding their views. In fact, our debaters are known in colleges all over Indi- ana for their expositions. Tournaments seem to add that necessary zest to a debater ' s schedule. Probably the most publicized tourna- ment in which Manchester participated was the one in which the least debating was done. Inauspicious weather conditions — ice, to be exact — prevented one car load of debaters from even getting near Normal University. We didn ' t hear much about the group which actually got there and back. Debating seemed to be a minor interest that week-end. The Manchester-Huntington tournament, the largest of its kind in the U.S., is always a big event for the entire college. Page seventy-nine WOMEN ' S VARSITY DEBATE Eldccn Blair, Geneva Brod- beck, Ora Pottenger, Lora Nesbitt, Dorothy Jean By- erly. Women talking and ceasing to talk accord- ing to the hands of a clock — eighth wonder of the world! But in women ' s debate teams it rarely — if ever — fails. What the debaters lack in numbers is amply balanced by that persuad- ing way they have. These charming debaters have captured their share of laurels at the tourneys this year. The Normal University tournament will long be remembered for one thing or another. DePauw and Butler were also on the schedule of trips. The girls did us honor as hostesses as well as de- baters at the Manchester tournament. Debating prepares you for meeting almost any emergency calmly. What about it, Doro- thy Jean Byerly? If you turn up at your de- bate without a colleague, the floor is yours — for all six speeches. Page eighty Early in the fall these frosh fellows and fair females turned out for debate try-outs with all their characteristics promptness and enthusiasm. The rigorous trial speeches continued until the judges were at last able to limit the squad to 12 members. During the first few months of the training period these teams debated each other and a number of the varsity squads. Their question is the same as that of the varsity debaters — pump-priming. As a reward for their hours of study and practice, off-campus debates were scheduled with Franklin College. Again in February they debated B squads from the various colleges represented at the Manchester Tourney. Not so glorious, perhaps, but there is a future in it! Row 1: J. Emerson, D. Eu- bank, G.

FROSH DEBATE Page eighty-one ORATORY while most of us merely talk, there are those who actually orate. The difference — too complicated to ex- plain (?) — can be detected every time. Manchester has, for a number of years, been partici- pating in the Annual Indiana State Intercollegiate Oratori- cal Contest — whew! Contestants are limited to six schools, which retain this privilege only so long as they send a representative each year. Eliminations were held among members of the speech department here at M.C. As a result, Barbara Barnhart and James Pottenger represented us. With his oration entitled Treasures Destroyed, Jim took part in the sixty-fifth annual contest in the men ' s division. Barbara ' s Wherever Diamonds carried her triumphantly through the fourth annual contest for women.

MADRIGAL Just as regularly as Tuesday and Thursday nights roll around, the lovely strains of Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes float down from heaven, it would seem (in reality, from Madrigal rehearsals on the third floor of the ad building). For every alumnus of the organiza- tion this is a lifelong memory. Enthusiasm greeted the announcement that Madrigal would again present Handel ' s Mes- siah. Instead of the traditional Christmas background. Palm Sunday was chosen for its presentation. A choir, enlarged by college students, townspeople, and friends from near- by, made the program the most unusual in the history of the organization. This year again a program was given at Wal- nut Street Church in which all the college musical organizations participated. And Madri- gal did its share to make it a bi, success.

It ' s more than personal opinion; any- one within earshot of Phronia hall on each Tuesday and Thursday afternoon will testify. (By the way, afternoon practices are new — just initiated this year.) Speaking of new things — the robes sported by the Cantilena girls are quite the thing. Something new each year — not only new, but better — is the idea. The two Sunday trips took in quite a bit of territory — Roann, Monticello, Logansport, Argos, Culver and Plymouth. Late in the spring a week-end tour of Southern Ohio climaxed the year ' s work. Very popular is this organization — no small wonder, either; with carefully chosen numbers perfectly rendered — you know the result. Page eighty-four Just an echo of Madrigal? Oh, no! They ' ll tell you in no uncertain terms. A group of select voices organized to fulfill a definite purpose — that is Little Madrigal or Chapel Choir — which denotes a portion of its purpose. Due to popular demand, it became necessary to form a group of singers who could appropriately represent Manchester. There ' s none better for the job. In one year this club has gained an enviable reputation. The trip taken at Easter was suc- cessful and enjoyable (particularly for the steadies ). This season the group toured Northern Indiana and Illinois, leaving behind them their message of goodwill — and platters emptied of their fried chicken. Back of it all are hours of intensive practice and cramming to make up for the week ' s tour which isn ' t entirely a vacation excursion. f -. o 1 ,. ' .. f f f ♦ ▼ ft f f N V S Row 1: I. Winger, B.

VOCAL QUARTETS No less glory goes to the college quartets, probably the most widely-known organizations representing Manchester College (known more on the campus for their absence than their presence). Both organizations toured exten- sively over Indiana, Illinois and Ohio, having sampled the fried chicken all the way from Northern Illinois to South Ohio! This spring the combined quartets are going to do their best to keep up with J. O. for a week as he tours Northern Illinois. All in all, the biggest difference between the quartet members and ordinary college students is that (according to one of the members) They can skip classes a little oftener and get along with a little less sleep.

INSTRUMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS Despite any lack of necessary talent, none of us can entirely escape the musical organiza- tions on our campus (these balmy spring days when the windows are open wide!). However, end results justify the means. For several years members of the orchestra have done their part in making the Messiah the splendid pro- duction that it has been. Lovely spring eve- nings, twilight concerts, band and orchestra — a lasting memory of college days. The little symphony, composed of band and orchestra members, made its initial radio ap- pearance at the golden jubilee broadcast. Due to the success of last year ' s Annual In- strumental Contest, the idea of having a guest conductor was followed again. On March 17, Dr. Joseph Maddy, guest conductor, and the instrumental organizations held sway on the campus. Russell Sayers, 2nd tenor; Clyde Hoi singer, 1st tenor; Donald Frederick, baritone; Eugene Teeter, bass. Pajie eighty-seven MARCHING BAND Row 1: R. Schindler, N. Waggoner, E.

But there ' s more to it than that triumphant march before the cheering crowds. There are those rehearsals when the rest of us are playing tennis or bicycling. And perhaps you think marching along with a drum or a bass horn around your neck is a nice way to take your daily stroll! The fair sex made its entering wedge into the ranks of the band last year. Their enthusiasm was even greater this year as eight of them turned out to get their daily dozen along with the rest of Manchester ' s largest marching band. Two pep bands, directed by senior music students — the Sousas of tomorrow — were organized to play alternately at the basketball games. As usual, they will horn in on the May Day celebration. They even tooted themselves all the way to DePauw last fall. Page eighty-eight STUDENT VOLUNTEERS Row 1: D. Ensign, H. Kiracofe, J. McCor- mick, M. Keever, M. Beck, D. Blough, L. Noffsinger, H.

Here is one time each member is given the chance to realize his talents — one, three, or ten. Devotions, speakers, plays and animated discussions offer varied possibilities for participation. Outstanding was the play Under the Shadow written by their sponsor, Professor Hoff. Further, an extensive deputation program has been carried on in Indiana and parts of Michigan, Illinois and Ohio. These deputa- tion teams must be versatile persons, being called upon to serve in any capacity from chorister to usher. The highlight of the year ' s work was the United Student Volunteer Conference held in November on our campus. Rep- resentatives came from Bethany, Bridgewater, Elizabethtown, LaVerne, McPherson and Juniata uniting in their aim toward personal development and Christian service.

Once a month all of the lady faculty members, professors ' wives, and special friends of the college meet together to further their study on some particular topic. This year Living Religions served to stimulate their thinking; it has been said that people are about what their religious beliefs have made them. Then ever so often (every four weeks) there is a split within the ranks. The Teacher ' s Club goes off to itself to brush up on Indiana, Our Indiana, while the Dames ' Division devotes itself to Beauty and Usefulness in the Home and Gardens. Procrastination can never be called one of their faults; it ' s a good old tradition of theirs to present each member with a printed copy of the programs for the entire year, six months before time for the first meeting. It ' s not fishy, but it calls for a stretch of imagination for the average college student. Page ninety y oner aump6e mto the past or our yNiyvia u a teir . . . Page ninety-one MANCHESTER COLLEGE 1889-1939 The 1939 Aurora is dedicated primarily to the 700 students who compose the present student body. If it were not, however, for the students and pro- fessors who have gone before, there would be no fiftieth anniversary, no student body. We give, then, in the following lines an account of the Manchester that has gone before. The roots of the institution extend back as far as 1860. It was in that year that Prof. F. S. Reefy erected a building at Roanoke, Indiana, which was soon to give Roanoke the name, Athens of Northern Indiana . The first days of the Roanoke Classical Seminary were trying, due to the Civil War and its demands on the youth of the country. After the war the seminary grew and became a center of musical culture. In 1884 Prof. D. N. Howe became president of the institution. Under his able direction the seminary outgrew its plant at Roanoke. Numerous towns bid for the college, but the best bid appears to have come from North Manchester. It was moved there in 1889. President Howe was the hero of those first years at North Manchester. Often teaching sixteen classes a day, he would begin with a coal-oil lamp and finish with it when darkness returned in the evening. It was hard to keep up interest in the undertaking and financial diffi- culties overtook the institution. In 1894 the solution seemed at hand. A certain C. E. Krebel claimed to represent a millionaire philanthropist who had a million dollars with which to endow a college. Thinking always of the insti- tution he served. President Howe was quite willing to resign in favor of one who promised such great things for her. Krebel, as it turned out, was guilty of perpetrating a disgusting hoax and was convicted in court on the charge of ob- taining money under false pretenses. This appears to be the final straw as far as the United Brethren control of the college was concerned. In 1895 Manchester College was taken over by the Church of the Brethren. E. S. Young was the first Brethren president. The pioneering days of financial reverses were not over. It was almost impossible to secure a building fund, and President Young resigned after four years in favor of H. P. Albaugh who served one year. L. D. Eikenberry served one year and was followed by E. M. Crouch who served for nine years. E. C. Bixler succeeded President Crouch and served 1910-1911. While nominally under the control of the church during this period, the school in reality was a private concern with its stock owned by private indi- viduals. At this point in Manchester ' s history, the church agreed to take over the financial control and since then the college has grown and prospered. In 1911 President Otho Winger took office. There is little need to list here what he has done. It is a well known story to friends and students of Manchester. The present day buildings, endowment, student body, and repu- tation of the institution are due primarily to President Winger and his years of sacrificing, tireless service. Page ninety -tivo MOUNT MORRIS COLLEGE 1839-1939 The history of Mount Morris College goes back just twice as far as that of Manchester. It was on July 4, 1839, that corner stone of the first building was laid on the campus of what was later to be called Mount Morris College. It was known then as the Rock River Seminary. On the first Friday in November, 1840, the school was opened by its first president. Prof. Joseph Wagoner. He received a yearly stipend of $240 which was later raised to $3 00. During the middle of the last century there was a growing sentiment among the prominent members of the Church of the Brethren that there should be schools in the church. The persecution suffered by their forebearers at the hands of the state churchman in Germany, most of whom were university men, had a tendency to turn Brethren away from the scholasticism of the time. It was natural that they should think of establishing schools of their own. On April 19, 1879, a group of Brethren, led by J. W. Stein, purchased Rock River Seminary for $6,000. Prof. Stein was made president and a very able one he proved to be. He was a fluent speaker with a powerful personality. During his presidency the school grew from 60 students to 212. After two years he resigned his post and was replaced by J. G. Royer. President Royer served faithfully for twenty years, often with slight remuneration. On several occasions during this period it appeared that the doors would have been closed, but always it was the perseverance and earnestness of the president and his associates that kept them open. In 1904 President Royer resigned and was replaced by Elder J. E. Miller. During his administration the enrollment quadrupled. In 1912 the school received a blow when Old Sandstone , the building which served as Men ' s Home and Administration building, burned down. Perhaps down isn ' t the proper word, for the stone of which the outside was constructed withstood the heat and remained standing. The inside, however, was completely burned out. A trying period followed, but money was finally secured with which to rebuild. In 1915 President Miller resigned. Previously under the control of a Board of Management, the school was now put in the hands of a Board of Trus- tees representing Church Districts in Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota, North Dakota, and Eastern Montana. Those who have served as President since that time are: J. S. Noff singer, 1915-18; L. S. Shively, 1918- 21; A. J. Brumbaugh, 1921-25; W. W. Peters, 1925-28; O. W. Neher, 1928-29; C. E. Davis, 1929-32. Aggressive leadership marked the closing years of Mount Morris College. Her name will always awaken pleasant memories in the minds of her numerous graduates scattered throughout the United States and in every continent. In 1931 a great fire destroyed four of her five buildings. The extreme loyalty of her alumni and patrons rebuilt three of them within a short time. With a view toward strengthening the educational program of the church, Mount Morris and Manchester were consolidated in 1932, forming one of the strongest denominational schools in the middle west. Page ninety-three MANCHESTER TODAY Today Manchester ranks high among Indiana colleges. In addition to her notable standing scholastically, she carries on a complete athletic program. Her teams meet the best competition in the state and rank with the leaders. Journalistically, the weekly Oak Leaves, the two freshman publications, the Bark and Acorn, and the junior publication, the Aurora, represent outstanding journalistic efforts. Symbolic of the greater, new Manchester College stands the singing tower, tall and stately. Page ninety -four mfj i[ OAK LEAVES STAFF Row 1: D. Abbott. J. Hickman, editor; R.

A Tuesday without Prexy ' s chapel speech may still be Tuesday, but a Thursday without Oak Leaves — no such thing at Manchester! Yes, on this fifth day of the week the college postmaster becomes a man of even greater importance. From Thursday to Thursday the staff is on its toes; that accounts for those little gems, Among the Oaks . All those highlights of the week ' s activities make the front page; there ' s more than one way of keeping up on campus affairs. Hundreds of folks back home await the com- ing of the Oak Leaves as eagerly (or more so) than the college students. This year the Student Opinion column has been a fertile source of interest to students. No blanketed opin- ions there; it ' s straight from the shoulder. It ' s Thursday, so Time Out for Oak Leaves! Page ninety -eight The campus newcomers have fresh ideas and expres- sion takes the form of journahstic efforts — namely, the Bark and Acorn. The eleven-year-old Acorn organiza- tion is this year operating under a new set-up. Appoint- ment of an upperclass supervisor, Ora Pottenger, has taken a lot of the weight from Prof. Conkling ' s should- ers. (Tsk! Only his shoulders?) Golden Jubilee year — and the largest Acorn ever published. All credit goes to Isobel Rarick and the staff. Keeping up with the Joneses, the Bark came out with a new idea — not to come out till the spring term. After the increased build-up, even dignified seniors were caught reading the choisest morsels. Aside from providing B or A options credit, the pub- lications discover those literary lions and keep the quill inked for further usage. FROSH PUBLICATIONS Row 1. M. H e n 1 i n e, E. Fisher, O.

L. W. SCHULTZ Page one hundred Aurora — the rising light of the day; in all modesty our yearbook bears this name. The Aurora dates back to 1911, a great history-mak- ing year in the growth of Manches- ter. Just a year ago a sophomore class met its great decision — the choice of an editor for the annual. Whatever honor is connected with this position is small in comparison with the arduous duties it entails. It ' s seri- ous business — yes, Jim? The excitement of election soon wears off and stark realities con- front the editor-in-chief. The choice of associate workers is a matter of no small importance. After spring term exams the Aurora staff for the com- ing year parts and each goes his separate way, promising to come back full of ideas. Not only has the Aurora under- gone endless changes from its first skeleton form in the fall, but also Time Marches On in the home of the yearbook. What was origin- ally a fully-equipped radio is now merely a remnant of its former self — sans cabinet, sans dial knobs, sans everything but the bare necessities. (We ' re not so sure about all of them.) From the moment the Aurora drive was launched by the witti- cisms of Club Matinee , never a dull hour passed for the staff mem- bers. Out of it all — the yearbook of 1939 — our Golden Jubilee edition. For your approval — students, friends and patrons — we present the Aurora of 1939! Page one hundred one Row 1: Milliner, H.

' s colors high all season. A wealth of experienced men from previous years in addition to some very valuable fresh- men spelled defeat for all opponents this season except Ball State. Coach Burt ' s only comment on the season was, We got lucky and won seven out of eight games. Although three of the games were won by a one point margin, we hesitate to call it luck that pulled the boys through the season with a single defeat. A strong line, an able backfield, some marvelous exhibitions of running, driving, and blocking, and a great group of punters and conver- sion-kickers all made the team one of the greatest since football was initiated at Manchester in 1926. Although the team lost to Ball State (the first loss at home for five years) the team ended in second place in the state, superseded only by the Butler Bull- dogs who played only three state games. The team was fortunate in having Brandon, a freshman, who kicked sixteen points be- tween the goal posts from seventeen attempts, and who provided the winning margin of 1 point over Valpo, DePauw, and St. Joseph. In addition to these, the University of Buffalo, Central Normal, Franklin and Earlham fell before the mighty Spartans of 1938.

Successful conversions of both extra points after touchdowns enabled the Black and Gold to finish with a 14-13 decision. M.C. scored all her points in the second quarter. A long pass, Milliner to Eikenberry, scored first for the Spartans. Again after the Uhlans had fumbled on their own 20 -yard stripe, Cordier scored the second touchdown while Brandon and Ruppert converted the extra points. On October 1, the Spartans cele- brated homecoming day successfully as they registered a brilliant 26-0 triumph over the Quakers from Rich- mond. After the Earlham boys had cracked the Spartan ' s forward wall repeatedly to drop our passers, the Black and Gold decided to stick strictly to power plays. They scored in each of the final three quarters, the scoring being evenly divided among Sargent, Cameron, Millner, and Brandon. A new era in the history of foot- ball at Manchester was begun on Oc- tober the 8 th when the team traveled to Buffalo, New York, for their first game under lights. The team re- sponded most favorably to this new venture, and showed that they liked the inter-sectional idea by bringing home a 21-6 victory for M.C. Lie- brum and Eikenberry set the pace as the Spartans scored in the first, second, and third quarters, while the Bulls from Buffalo could score only in the third frame. 1 1 2r¥ COACH BURT To the man at the helm of M.C. ' s football ship goes more credit than feeble words can express. Coach Burt not only guides our ship , but he must see that the Spartan Steam- boat is builded and rebuilded year after year. He takes men of high school experience or men without (it makes very little difference to him) and produces teams that demand re- spect from everyone far and near. His personal work among his boys has gained recognition everywhere and has won him many devoted friends. Carl Sargent, Junior Halfback Bill Rupert, Sophomore Tackle Phil Domer, Sophomore Fullback Bob Brandon, Freshman Halfback SPARTANS Long will the team remember the 15th day of October when the all power- ful Ball Stater ' s eked out a 20-14 decision. The loss was the first at home since 193 3 and was the only thing that kept M.C. out of the 193 8 State Champion- ship. Every ounce of strength that every single player could muster was used to stop the Cardinals second-half rally, but when the final gun sounded, the boys were at the short end of the count, having failed to score in the last half. Perhaps it was the sting of the previous week ' s defeat that enabled the Spartans to finish the game at DePauw in a blaze of glory. Turning on the power right at the start, the lads from M.C. took the opening kickoff and scored on a sustained march down the field five minutes after the game had started. In the final quarter, DePauw recovered a blocked kick and pushed the ball across the goal line. The day was saved when Eikenberry stopped their attempted point after touchdown. On October 29, the Spartans scored freely in every quarter in their game at Danville to drub the lads from Central Normal 44-0. The M.C. boys scored their heaviest offensive thrusts in the second and third quarters. They tallied once in the first quarter, three times in the second, twice in the third, while the only fourth quarter score was a 34-yard field goal by M.C. ' s invaluable Brandon. Coming from behind twice to gain a 14-13 advantage at the first half, the Spartans hung up their sixth victory of the season by polishing off the stubborn Franklin Grizzlies by a final score of 27-13. It was in this game that Brandon just missed tying the state record for consecutive conversions after touchdowns. He had kicked two to run his string to 14 and then missed the fifteenth attempt. The Spartans closed their football season on November 12 as their 7-6 triumph over St. Joseph ' s University at Kenapocomoco field ran their season ' s record to seven wins and one defeat to claim the runner-up position in the state conference. The St. Joe eleven scored first, but the attempt at conversion was no good, whereas Brandon again calmly kicked M.C. ' s winning point after a third quarter touchdown. Bill Milliner was out of the line-up due to a badly sprained ankle. Row.in Howe, Senior Center Howard Filbrun, Junior Tackle Merlin Eikenberry, Senior End Forest Bevingcon, Senior Halfback r.i SS.

Spartans. He was aided by Waddell and together, they worked long and patiently with the new and inexperienced material that reported for football practice. Their task was hard, but they too have accomplished wonders as the results conclusively show. ?__ Gerald Detrick, Junior Guard Charles Beck, Senior End Richard Logan, Junior End Robert Robinette, Senior Guard CAPTAIN CORDIER A pleasant smile, a fighting spirit, a leader of men, a jolly disposition, and a friend to all; there you have Hubert Cordier. Cordier ' s job was made doubly difficult when it seemed wise that he should be trans- ferred from the tackle position in the line, where he had played for three years, to fullback. However, this added experience only made Hubert all the more capable of guiding the Spartans through trying games and difficult trials. To Hubert goes a great deal of the credit for M.C. ' s successful football season.

BASKETBALL All good Manchester-ites will truthfully declare this year ' s squad the best of the better teams that have represented Manchester in many a year. On Dec. 3, the season opened with a 58-24 victory over Huntington College, and it seemed the stage was all set for Manchester to produce a championship basket- ball team. However, Anderson gave the Spartans a heavy jolt when the boys lost a 48-43 decision to them three days later. Manchester ' s defense was not clicking and everyone was disappointed when Central Normal pulled a surprise win over our team during Christmas vacation. A few weeks later, Indiana Cen- tral made M.C. ' s hopes for a championship team look very doubtful as they won an overtime tilt 54-50. In the meantime, nevertheless, the team had played some remarkable ball and had defeated strong teams from Albion, Indiana State, and Taylor. The real climax came on Jan. 10, when the Spartans won from Ball State after overcoming a 12 point lead late in the game. And when the Cardinals came to Manchester on Feb. 7 only to find the Spartans much too inspired to be defeated, the season was definitely made a success by virtue of the 48-41 de- cision and the second victory over Ball State in as many starts. Not satisfied with this, the team defeated the strong Valparaiso team twice this year and thus settled an old score with both Ball State and the Uhlans who were re- sponsible for Manchester ' s four setbacks last year. They clipped off victories in their second encounters with Anderson, Indiana Central, Indiana State, and Western State. The only setback of the latter half of the season was a loss to the Western State team when they displayed a classy exhibition of basketball at Kalamazoo and defeated the Spartans by a 55-48 margin.

Full of enthusiasm and good will these leaders helped tremendously in keeping every- one behind the team. Greetings of cheer when the team is winning and words of encouragement when the team is behind , seemed to be their slogan.

A great sportsman, an en- thusiast for the Kansas City trip, and thankful for the opportunity to work with young men, Stauf- fer gives unselfishly of his time simply because he loves the game of basketball.

FRESHMAN TEAM Due to the large number who responded to the call for basketball material, while looking the future square in the eyes and seeing the necessity of keeping M.C. ' s basketball hopes high, Coach Stauffer deemed it wise again this year to carry two B squads. The B-squad proper was composed of upper-classmen and was placed under the supervision of Forrest (Red) Bevington, while the freshman squad was ably coached by Robert (Robby) Robinette. Coach Bevington, having men of varsity experience, as well as other good material, did outstanding work with his team all season. Almost all the games were played with popular independent teams and with the freshman squad, and when the season closed. Red ' s boys had won 16 of their regular 20 games for a batting average of .800. Averaging nearly 3 3 points per game, the M.C. lads scored a total of 665 points, while their opponents were scoring only 466 points. Menzie, a freshman who was moved down from the varsity team to fill the place of Phil Kammerer who won a place for himself on the varsity ten, was the high scoring B-squader, garnering 111 points. The freshman squad also had an impressive season which resulted in a total of 21 victories out of 27 games, for a winning average of .778. They, too, played largely with independent teams from neighboring communities. A high point of friendly rivalry was reached during the season between the two secondary squads. Of the 3 games played between the two squads, Coach Robinette ' s boys were able to capture the honors only once. The freshman team scored a total of 647 points for a game average of 3 1 points. With such material as Minnich, Kisler, Brandon, R. Beck, and B. Jones coming on, Man- chester ' s outlook for the future is very promising.

Two games, one with Ball State and one with Hunt- ington, were postponed and later cancelled due to bad weather. The season opened with a 4-0 vic- tory over Huntington. The following day the Spartons displayed all the power they could find be- fore the May Queen and May Day crowd. They trounced Taylor 8-1 and repeated with a 5-0 shutout the next week over Taylor at Upland. Concordia was next and fell before the mighty Spartan hitting, 16-4. The following three consecutive attempts were not so successful for Manchester. St. Joe handed them a 7-2 setback, Hillsdale (Mich.) eked out a 5-4 victory, and the season ended in a free-for- all scoring tilt at Indiana State with the Sycamores nosing out the locals 14-13.

This year, in addition, a great amount of interest was manifested in fencing. The annual Phronia-Rhetoria bas- ketball game was won again by the Rhetorians. Geneva Brodbeck and Eldeen Blair won the debate tourney for the freshmen. Not to be outdone by their brother societies, the two women ' s organizations met this year on the hardwood court. The Matheans kept up with their brothers, defeat- ing the Letheans in a closely fought tussle. A basketball league is carried on each winter. This year it was under the guidance and direction of Don Lieberum. A separate league was carried on for the yearlings under the leadership of Howard Bock. Page one hundred eighteen MAY DAY A vast panorama of fairyland magic cast its spell of en- chantment over the crowds anxiously awaiting Her Majesty ' s triumphal arrival. Accompanied by her court, entertainers, and band members, the Queen (upholding Manchester ' s glorious tradi- tion) passed through the streets of town to greet her loyal sub- jects, lined along the way to pay tribute to her. As the processional was sounded on the organ, an awed silence settled over the crowded bleachers overlooking the football field. Against the background of colorful gowned attendants and wooden-soldier guards, the Queen stood out in striking contrast as she knelt before the throne. A few moments later gay dancers performed in honor of their newly crowned mistress. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, in their renditions of Whistle While You Work and Some Day My Prince Will Come, joined in the events of the day to make for perfection. In keeping with the occasion the fairyland creatures participated in the winding of the traditional Maypole. As soon as she had started the baseball game between Man- chester and Taylor University, Her Majesty and the Maid of Honor received the ladies at an informal tea given by Phi Sigma Alpha and Phi Kappa Mu. In the evening the huge crowd assembled once more to catch their last glimpse of the honored lady. Attended by the Maid of Honor, the Queen appeared through the parted curtains to present The Bohemian Girl . As the curtains dropped on the final act, individuals went their separate ways, each carrying with him a memory of beauty, charm, gayety and stateliness. The Queen ' s reign was officially begun. Page one hundred nineteen MARY LOU RONK May Queen, 193 8 MAY QUEEN Out of all the feverish excitement of May Queen elections emerged a calm and queenly Mary Lou, the student body ' s choice of a woman who stands as an ideal personality in the college community and who has rendered service to her college. Mary Lou ' s main aspirations seemed to be musical in nature as evidenced by her participa- tion in Madrigal, Little Madrigal and orchestra. As chapel organist, she was known to all. For her queenly beauty and graceful charm, the students and many friends paid tribute to the Queen of the May. Page one hundred tiventy MAY DAY FESTIVAL The eligibility list for May Queen and Maid of Honor includes all the girls of the junior class. From these many possibilities the choice must finally be limited to two persons — the Queen and Maid-of- honor. The latter position of honor was bestowed upon Beth Flora. Her dress of blue marquisette presented a lovely contrast to that of the Queen. Poise, beauty, graciousness — deserving of her high honor. Beth Flora, Maid of Honor.

So he took a holiday and snapped all the little creatures that keep the girls from getting lonely at night. It was just lots of fun, not one of them objected to being photographed, and they all held so much more still than had their mistresses. Not one of them demanded a retake. An editor ' s paradise would be the publication of an annual with nothing but these within its pages! Page one hundred twenty-two WHERE THEY GO Boy meets girl, and then what happens. Freshmen soon learn to know the town with its sixteen miles of side- walks. The old standby, of course, is the picture show. There are two available side by side on main street. After the show comes time for the numerous carbonated aqua dispensaries located handily all over town. Then comes home and Oakwood for all except the steadies who dis- appear for awhile on mysterious tangents. Ah, yes, we almost forgot those birthday parties for Aunt Clara in Fort Wayne. Poor girl, she is certainly getting up in years! Then, for the benefit of the folks back home, we might mention that classes are attended occasionally, and really should be included in a Where They Go page. chow, and how. All out. Halliday aims. Melc Bouncing ba Splash, they ' re off! And the band led all the rest. FRESHMAN INITIATION The rhinies received a pleasant surprise when time for initiation rolled around. The whole school piled on a ten- coach train and was whisked away to the beautiful shores of Lake Wawbee at Camp A ' lack. Interclass contests in tennis, Softball, swimming, ping pong, and a boat race were the outstanding events of the day. And, oh yes, we mustn ' t forget the swing band. Along toward evening five hundred weary students reboarded the train and rode back to school in time for the evening meal. Tired but happy, they were unanimous in their opinion that the excursion should become an annual affair. And the up- perclassmen didn ' t miss the traditional paddling parties, either. Page one hundred twenty-four Imagine a school without gangs! Discard books, pro- fessors, exams, but gangs will remain. Who can forget those midnight bull sessions over a dishpan of popcorn. What an institution this would be if all the suggestions of irate popcorn-munchers were carried out! Luckily, they all begin and end — in the gang. Happy is the gang that can claim the May Queen or her attendants as members. No one is prouder of the student prexy or football hero than his gang. And no one stands by a fellow longer when he ' s down than his gang- Yes, they are grand institutions, are gangs. GANGS Page o)ic hunched twcnty-fioe AND GANGS Page one hundred Hventy-six The social life at Manchester plays an important role in the educative process. Dress varies from swirling formals and tails to slacks and swim suits, as the occasion demands. Perhaps more students participate in skating parties than in any other single social event. Wiener roasts down on the island are a big attraction at any time. Watermelon feeds .... and at the most peculiar hours of the day! Freshmen week activities — long planned for and long remembered. The real highlights of social life include the banquets — liter- ary society, junior-senior, all-school and breakaway.

Invading the stadium of the powerful Buffalo Bisons, they returned with the pro- verbial bacon (or perhaps buffalo steak would be more appropriate) as they repulsed the easterners 21-7. A visit to the falls and other points of interest supplied the team with an extremely inter- esting time during their weekend at Buffalo. An item of interest on the return trip was the discovery of the two stowaways, Hersch and Leatherman, who were tossed off the train at Cleveland. Ah, well, they only had to hitch-hike half as far coming back as they did going out! D.incc of the water nyniph Hlot and chip. Butch ' ' Decor.Ttions a a Sparta. Any minute now. The bus stopped.

So our photographer went up to discover for himself. He found it good and brought what he saw back to us — the college, the covered bridge at Liberty Mills, and North Manchester. The cool, winding river and the green, wooded slopes around our little town afford an attractive spectacle, and it is little wonder that the geese often stop to rest on the shores of the Kenapocomoco. sleep sans bunk.

BLOKEWOOD HALL An almost indispensable part of college life, this. At times, a noisy experience. Yes, an annoy- ing experience, sometimes (discover roommate out with favorite tie or girl), but lots of fun just the same. A venerable old place is the men ' s dorm at Manchester. Affectionately nicknamed Bloke- wood , it houses some of the third generation — grandsons of earlier occupants. Its rugged walls have withstood countless storms, both from without and from within. Sometimes, when everyone starts making pop- corn at once, the fuses burn out, and sometimes they burn out more mysteriously. A carelessly opened door often lets in a flood of refuse from a couple of well balanced waste baskets. Then there are those enjoyable returns from the shower room sans any item of wearing apparel, to find the room miraculously locked. But it ' s all in fun, and all Blokewood .

OAKWOOD HALL This is the main item in the answer to the ques- tion, W- ' hy boys leave ' Blokewood ' . And the pulchritude resident here is not the whole story. Oakwood also houses the dining halls. A familiar sight on Saturday evening is the restless pacing of a dozen or so of young American men, as they wait so patiently for the appearance of the evening ' s American women. Then sometimes they don ' t pace — you are referred to the worn out appearance of the various items of reading material scattered about. But upstairs the other halves of the evening ' s adventures are trying so hard to hurry. There are very, very many things to be done. Powder, rouge, lip-stick, perfume — they all give Mother Nature a hand, and the finished product is well worth waiting for! Page one hundred thirty-one DRAMA Putty in the hands of an artist — so may we described many young actors. Each year Mrs. Wampler takes a group of students expressing their own individual personaHties and before long there emerges an entirely new cast of characters. It ' s not one of those over-night transformations either. Weeks of reading lines and going through actions, memorizing lines, special calls, costuming, dress re- hearsal — all precede the overture and the final pro- duction. Back of the curtains and bright lights are the dozens of stage hands, prompters and electricians. All the mothers with their daughters and fath- ers with their sons (along with a few unclassifiables) applauded the rendering of The Devil Passes, given for a second time on our campus. Nearly a capacity crowd laughed its way through the rollicking Mr. Pim Passes By, presented by the play production class. Entirely different, but none the less enjoyed — Bohemian Girl, an opera produced by the music department.

Wells Dr. Poponoe IMPORTED TALENT The Lyceum Committee, headed by Dean Holl, is to be congratulated on the fine series of outside speakers and entertainers which it has secured this year. Perhaps the outstanding personahty to appear this year was Dr. Poponoe, noted psychologist and authority on marital relations. Bob Hanscom ' s players presented an unusual play, and Chief Fast Cloud entertained in chapel with legends and music of the American Indian. Dudley Crafts Watson, famous artist, presented art in an extremely interesting fashion, and sketched Prof. Halliday. Charles A.

Page one hundred forty-three MY DEBT TO MANCHESTER President V. M. Schwalm McPherson College, McPherson, Kansas I entered Manchester College as a student about March 28, 1904, and left after commencement in 1927. My experience at the college ranged from that of an academy student and college student, to academy teacher, college teacher and dean of the college. I did many kinds of work at the college, sweeping floors, ringing the college bell, mowing the lawn, helping build the old gym, debating, trying to sing, preaching, teaching, building curriculum, and disciplining wayward lads. During my most foi ' mative years I was either directly or indirectly in touch with the college and its leaders. After twelve years of time and across more than 800 miles of distance the influence of some of these former friends and associates is still strongly felt. At Manchester there came into my life certain great blessings. First of all was the encouragement and inspiration that came because certain men older and more experienced than I had confi- dence in me and trusted me. Certain of my teachers, such as L. D. Ikenberry, I. B. Book and others, and particularly Pres. Crouch and later Pres. Winger expressed confidence and faith in me and entrusted me with responsibilities. Their faith in me led me to undertake tasks which I would otherwise not have had the courage to try. To them I am a great debtor. I went to college from rural and very narrowly circumscribed experiences. At Manchester, through contacts with preachers and lecturers my vision was enlarged and the great world that had earlier lain beyond my ken came for the first time into view. In 1910 Charles Morris, R. H. Miller, and I (I think these were the three) attended our first state Y.M.C.A. convention at Kokomo. I shall never forget what Dr. Charles A. Barbour did to and for me during those days. The gleam of distant goals to which he then pointed still lie on ahead, though I ' ve been reaching for them ever since. The preaching of H. C. Early, J. G. Royer, D. L. Miller, William Howe, P. B. Fitzwater, George Flory, Dr. Kumm, Frank Crumpacker and others were influences from which I ' ve never gotten away. The religion of Manchester in those days was a religion of healthy mindedness, a balanced religion of faith and works. I am indebted to Manchester for bringing me these early challenges. The most beautiful thing that has come out of my Manchester experi- ences is the friendships of many years as student and teacher. Friends of early years are the most intimate and most lasting. The significance of such friend- ships only friends can fully know. College friendships deepen our insights, soften the blows dealt us by cruel fate, and enhance the enjoyment of our brighter days. For this I am very greatly indebted. Page one hundred forty-four Manchester stressed worth while values. While there was play time, and fun, there was also a wholesome emphasis on industry, on economy, on the abiding values of life, on all worth while achievements. On this point college only continued the training of my home life. Under the inspiring leadership of President Winger we saw the college grow from a school of two hundred to one of more than six hundred, and all the while Manchester was touching helpfully the lives of the hundreds who came within the orbit of its influence. For this wholesome emphasis on abiding values, I am also a debtor. Manchester College is my Alma Mater in a true sense. Only the re- cording angels know all the threads of influence that have woven themselves into the fabric of my life through the many varied and long continued influ- ences that were brought to bear on it at Manchester. As a child is indebted to its mother, so am I indebted to my Alma Mater. Page one hundred forty-fi SENIORS Abbott, Darrell 26, 015, 70, 73, 98 Anderson, 0.

Fifty years ago this spring a man came to North Manchester with a vision and a pur- pose. He was not seeking wealth nor fame but a location for an educational institution. Already he had achieved success in our neighboring town of Roanoke where he had seen a small college grow until it was too large for the accommodations of that small village. Many fine towns in Northern In- diana gave invitation and inducements for him to locate his college with them, but for some reason the invita- tion from North Man- chester made the strongest appeal. So fifty years ago this spring College Hall was erected, the be- ginning of Manchester College where it is today. Never did a man work more heroically and ad- mirably than did Dr. D. N. Howe, the first presi- dent of Manchester Col- lege. He did almost super- human things to make real his dreams. But the interest in his venture was too lax and the sup- port of his work was too small to achieve success. After spending most of his own funds and making other great sac- rifices he had to give up in seeming defeat. It should be mentioned that twenty-five years later he was privileged to return to this place, to see Manchester College a much greater institution than he had dreamed of and to receive from the college an honorary doctor ' s degree, a token of appreciation for what he had contributed. Time this evening is too short to mention the brave men and women who, during the next twenty years, made heroic efforts to develop Manchester College. They gave of their time, money and labors to realize their an educational institution where men and women might receive a Dr. D. dream — ; young Christian education. Many were their heart-breaks, their disappointments and seeming failures. But as we see it today in a larger view the work of the first quarter of a century was but the foundation of the great structure that we have today. During the last tweny-five years there has been almost continued march forward. Today where fifty years ago College Hall was built among the sec- ond growth oaks, fifteen other buildings have been erected. Some of these have been joined and com- bined into very large buildings. The oaks that fifty years ago were but scrubby second growths have grown into sturdy trees, suggesting the growth of the college into an institution of great strength. Twenty-five years ago there were scarcely more than one hundred students enrolled. Now the regu- lar enrollment is much be- yond the six hundred mark while the total en- rollment for the year is more t han one thou- sand students. Then the faculty numbered but eight or ten at best; today there are more than forty members on the faculty, all of them well trained, a number widely known for their scholarship, ability and achievements. Then the institution was scarcely known to ac- crediting agencies or to the larger universities. Today Manchester is an accredited standard college known throughout the country as a college that does first class work. Then our library had less than one thousand volumes; today there are more than thirty thousand volumes listed with thousands of other non- N. HOWE, Manchester ' s first president. Page one hundred ninet accessioned books and pamphlets. The science laboratories and college equipment have been growing accordingly. Then the few college buildings were poorly equipped and the total assets of the college would have been rated low. Now the buildings are well equipped and the campus and college grounds have grown to more than forty acres. Then there was no endowment; today there is more than half a million, while the total assets of the institution are rated at more than a million dollars. The buildings are paid for and the college has no indebtedness. The college has not had a deficit for twenty five years. Few colleges in this country went through the de- pression with this kind of a record.  During the last twen- ty-five years thousands of friends have con- tributed to make this brief history possible. Every contributor should feel that he has had a part in developing this great institution. We invite every one to join with us in celebrat- ing this great Jubilee Year. Much as has been accomplished, we must now look ahead. New occasions teach new duties as Lowell said, and we may add bring new responsibilities. The demands upon edu- tional institutions are much greater than they were twenty-five years ago. Manches- ter has new responsibilities. She must not only carry on the work already done here but also the work so nobly begun at Mount Morris a century ago. In many ways Mount Morris too was the mother of Manchester. So now she and her many friends expect Manchester to continue much of her work. This Jubilee Year should be characterized by a real step forward. Manchester has pressing needs and will continue to have them just as every growing institution has. Our most manifest need now is a new Arts Build- Roanoke Classical Seminary ing where there can be more room and better equipment for the subjects of Music, Art and Home Economics. Most of this work was hardly thought of in college twenty-five years ago, but every one of these subjects is a vital part of the curriculum today. Man- chester must have larger quarters and better equipment for these courses. So it is proposed to erect on Campus Ave- nue a new building. It will cost some seven- ty-five thousand dollars. As will be stated by others it is the hope that sufficient funds will be available so that the corner stone of this building may be laid on alumni day and that the building may be completed for us this coming year. Hundreds have already •: made contributions to this building fund. Last year the women friends of the insti- tution joined in rais- ing funds for the erection of the gymnas- ium for women. This fine building is now in full use and is of great benefit to the col- lege work. Many of these same women are now contributing to the Arts Building Fund. This will be a much bigger task. It will need the united help of all. Do not wait until the solicitor sees you. He may not be able to get around to all. Do as some have done. Mail in a check now and promise more for the future. The Jubilee Year Bulletin will be sent to you. If you do not receive a copy, send for it. Note the time for Manchester Day in April and for the program of the Alumni Day, May 27. So here ' s to our Jubilee Year with every wish for its success and with this appeal to every former student and friend to do your best to help make it a success so that we may start Manchester College off this fall a greater and better instituiton for service during the last half of the Twentieth Century.

It has been no small honor to have been able to record in these pages the first fifty years of Manchester ' s progress. But while we have had much to write about, you will have much more. While Manchester has come far during the past half century, her existence is only begun. It will be your good fortune to carry on from here. And for the Editor of the 1989 Aurora I can wish nothing better than that his assistants compose as an efficient organization as mine has proved to be. My staff has worked long and faithfully, often at the expense of daily lessons. Not a single assignment has been refused. It is with no small feeling of regret that I write this last page, for it marks the conclusion of weeks of enjoyable journalistic cooperation. The Indianapolis Engraving Company through their representatives, Mr. Todd and Mr. Ropkey, have contributed greatly to this publication. Mr. Tom McConnell and The Benton Review have lived up to their reputation as printers extraordinary of annuals. Mr. Ochiltree and the S. K. Smith did a grand job in designing the cover, and our sincerest thanks are extended to them. And so the story of fifty years is complete. You may carry on from here, Aurora Staff of 1989! — James Barnhart. Page one hundred ninety-six
