When I was a Freshman in college. {’Twas in Marion I started, you know) The place was a new institutioni, But e’en then it had started to grow. « r M As a ship bound for shore in the distance, For a land full of promise and hope, The sea where she sailed gave her welcome. From localities ' round came the folk To bid her God speed on her journey. In their midst then, to welcome her there. They gave her a pleasant reception, Their good will she always will share. The crew of that ship, our professors. Were a company loyal and true: And they guided the vessel so surely All the gales and storms we came through. Once the captain was changed for another, And the crew sometimes changed personnel, But they ever were ready to help us, And we honor and love them well. Marion College has had many students From states far and wide—here at home Have come some from the neighbors about her. While some came o’er the ocean’s white foam. But wherever his home or his country, Each student e’er felt that he gained There in Marion a fair Alma Mater, And of her he ' d ne ' er be ashamed rhus that good ship is still speading onward. And she fears not the wind nor the tide; She still carries her passengers safely To the far fields of knowledge so wide. Now my story is ended this evening. But remember it when you depart; For the history of Marion College Is a story that’s dear to each heart. —Elizabeth Wilson. 10 1 ,fl WW ' r lll | |l ,n ’ B |HH |l l| H I JIIHH| m l l l ' cr Circ marionette ’24 President’s Message ' ' T ' E have passed another milestone. Whatever we have achieved this year, either of success or failure, has now become history. We, with the rest of the world, have been rushed through the last twelve months almost before we were aware of it. We have done a little here and a little there, but it seems as though cur efforts had touched so lightly the great sum total of activ¬ ities around us, as to leave no impression at all. And if we look only from the human and worldly standpoint, this is, no doubt, true. But Christian education does not build alone for time, nor can the results of even a single year be measured in so many hours spent, or so many credits gained. The stndents who go out from a Christian school can not be counted as so many pieces cast in a particular mould, and shaped to fit somewhere among the wheels and cogs of a social or political machine which moves for a few years the affairs of men.. Lives are Eternal things, and it is the province of a Christian College to so unite the intellectual and the spiritual that the union may reflect the wisdom and love of God who created both the intellect and the spirit, compliments of each other. Christian Education enables the intellect to get a more perfect and com¬ prehensive view of its surroundings. As the field glass aids the general in his campaign, so Christian Education enables one to locate himself in God’s great universe. It lifts the spiritual into the border land of Omniscience that the emotions may be stirred by things great and beautiful, created for the soul’s enjoyment and for God’s glory. Christian Education also seeks to renew the ’’spirit of the mind, that the spiritual may impart to the intellectual the fire of the holy zeal, sympathy and love lest the intellectual becomes cold, formal and lifeless. This, then, is our aim: To maintain at Marion College, through the years ahead of us, such an intelligect for the spiritual and such a spirit for the in¬ tellectual, that together these may set in motion forces which shall continue to bless men while time lasts and glorify God in the Eternity beyond.

KINNISON Field Agent The work of the administration does not confine itself within the halls of learning. A great work must be done in the field. To this work Rev. Ivinnison has faithfully given him¬ self. The results of his labors are constantly being felt in the enrollment of students in Marion College, who feel a need for an educa¬ tion in a Christian institution, and in the financial support derived through his efforts. REV. E. R. DODD Church Pastor Marion College has endeavored to, and is succeeding in educating young people on a Christian environment. No small factor, this achievement, is the church. Rev. Dodd has a keen interest in the young people, and is spending his life in Christian service. Great has been his influence in bringing the students of Marion College to realize that, above edu¬ cation and earthly treasures, the heavenly crown must be sought and found, or life is a failure and eternity holds no reward. —-1_ i IfflllJ - ? C - USS Cbc Marionette ’24 V ; ' Q Editorial HT ' HE inspiration of College life is one that does not die out with the years. Nor is it lost in the multitude of experiences that come into life. The benefits of college training are as lasting as time. By these influences certain ideals and ambitions are set up which guide the soul to higher things, as a light house guides the ship through treacherous waters. While many of the preceeding generation have not had the opportunity of college training, they have achieved in no small measure a nd have served their generation well. We should not feel that we are separated from their standards of social and educational attainments by an insurpassable gulf. To us, their achievements may seem simple, our opportunity and educa¬ tion has helped us on a little farther than they, but it is not that we are more intellectual than they. As we reckon with the attainments and achievements of those who have had less opportunity than we, a serious question will present itself: Are our lives reflecting the advantages that are ours? This is the challenge that comes to the men and women of today. It is a challenge that should call forth the best qualities in us. It is a challenge which gives us a newt appreciation of the opportunities that are presenting themselves to us. In the light of responsibility a new meaning of the word opportunity should come to us, and we shou ld strive to make our college life count the most in properly fitting us for our calling in life. . —EDITOR.

Eureka Literary Club Major, Education Ct)e Marionette ’24 Message from a Senior OLLEGE life has not done for us all it should, if it merely sharpens our wits and increases our store of knowledge without fitting us to live more effectively; and enabling us to associate with others without disparaging the uneducated, or cringing before those whose accomplish¬ ments are greater than ours. c r And indeed we have been aided to estimate for ourselves the scope and value of learning. What amount of learning that has been our good fortune to acquire is but an insignificant portion of the unmined treasures of knowledge. We have but reached such an altitude above the mist of ignorance that it is now possible to view the infinite range of the field of erudition. It thus appears from this vantage point that is is a useless ambi¬ tion for one mind to hope to acquire any great part of all there is to know. But to be useful we must have some learning, and those that have the most when energized by the hidden fire of the soul, are the ones who live the most effective lives. The effect of the waves of influence that radiate from a life will be proportionate to the real magnitude of the individual, and to the nearness of his approach to other souls. The person whose in¬ telligence has been aroused to the needs of the age, with sympathies that have been broadened by actual living among people will be effectual—ef¬ fectual because he not only sees the lack, but is also able to minister to the need. However, if we would live effectively we must not suffer our edu¬ cation to remove us from those who have been less fortunate. Education should not cause us to disdain those of less achievements—as it does for some, proving a curse—neither should we cower to those who rank higher in their attainments. The educational acquirements that make us regard with contempt the one class, and be intimidated before the other must be of a superficial character. Knowledge should beget true humility, for, as someone has said, “Much learning shows how little mortals know.” ]-§ —H. R.S. ’24 JUNIORS wm College Juniors M.

We started in as freshmen gay. But soon the waves rolled high; And from the forty classmates dear. Sixteen were left to do or die. We passed on through the Sophomore year, But when the Junior days were come; Twelve only were left to brave the storm And pilot the bark toword Semordom. The winds may blow and waters get deep. But none of the class are afraid of work: We like mathematics and science too And from school activities we never shirk. One is president of the Eureka club, And the Student ' s Conference sought and found An able leader from among our midst In whom the fruits of the Spirit abound. Some help to swell the orchestra, One is the Academy Principal’s wife, Another is president of the Pierros Thix Of course he is redhaired and full of life, One is organizer of the Girl ' s Glee Club, Two are on the staff of the Marionette; Some are members of the Debating Team A finer class you never met. Our motto “Climb though the rocks be rugged,” Is firmly implanted in every heart; We will stem the tide and safely anchor And the ' 25 class will be among the best. A s r . p.

This group is known as the Sophomore class. It has not perhaps participated in social functions as much as some of the classes, but that is no reason for its not being alive and boosting its school, no indeed. This year the Sophomore class has supplied members on the debating teams, officers for each of the Literary Societies, for the Y. M. W. B. and members for both the Journal and Annual Staffs. The Sophomores were not caught napping when the SOS call was given for the gym. Their loyal enthusiasm was manifested not only by liberal gifts, but by the boys donning over alls and the girls cheering from the side lines. The class colors chosen are symbolical of what the class holds as its ideals, blue and white, the blue representing truth and white purity. As you see, it is not the purpose of the class of 1926 to make itself known by a blare of trumpets and ruffle of drums, but by its virtue to shed its light. As a heritage to the Freshman class who next year will take our places, we wish to leave a spirit of friendship and co-operation which takes the hand of the new student and helps him over the rough places and pit-falls of the first mile. As sophomores, we are just finishing our second mile of that path which full of labors, joys and adventures leads to that coveted goal of Commencement. Our friendships together have already been pleasant and inspiring. As we face the last two years of our college days we do so with a determination to make them the happiest of all, but not losing the thought that we have work to do and must needs be strong, yes we can join with the sentiments: BE STRONG! We are not here to play, to dream, to drift. We have hard work to do. and loads to lift. Shun not the struggle ; face it. ’Tis God’s gift. Be Strong Say not the days are evil, who ' s to blame! And fold the hands and acquiesce —O shame! Stand up. speak out. and bravely, in God ' s name. Be Strong It matters not how deep intrenched the wrong, How hard the battle goes, the day, how long, Faint not, fight on! Tomorrow comes the song. Be Strong —Maltbie D. Babcock.

With a set determination we soon became accustomed to the daily routine of college life. By the guiding hand of the Juniors we were organized; with them we have shared our social activities of the year. ' The number of our students who have kept up to par, mentally, spiritually, morally and socially is astonishingly large. We have repre¬ sentatives in every activity of college life. In our midst have been recog¬ nized many able debaters, and we have representatives on both the boys’ and girls’ teams. Our class is represented on both the Annual and the Journal Staff. Thelma Adams is Art Editor of the Annual and her work has been en¬ thusiastically received by the editor. On the Journal Staff we are repre¬ sented by Everett Ritchie and Dow Richardson. A few years will find two of our members in the foreign field, bring¬ ing to the heathen the Gospel of Salvation. Catherine DeVol and Gladys Hall are preparing themselves for lives of service. The Eureka and Amphictyon Literary Societies, the Y. M. W. B. and the Students ' Conference are not lacking for members from the Freshmen Class. Although we are not at the top we are climbing. The ambition of the class is to see the time when we will, as Seniors, don the cap and gown and pass out from this institution able to meet the problems of life as they are presented to us. THE FRESHMAN DOXOEOGY Now this old class we must all leave, Although it sorely makes us grieve, Still in our memories there stays The thoughts of happy Freshman days. And through our tears we soon shall tell The Freshman class our sad farewell. — T.D.M., ’ll — J.E.A.. ’ll 37 Marionette ’24 From Backwoods to College r J ' HREE quarters of a century ago the immediate vicinity of Marion College was an impenetrable back woods tangle of briars, under¬ brush, and vines, all clinging to the native timber, the whole being parted with great labor by the “Anderson log or corduroy road which was used but little. The main transportation arteries of the neighborhood were somewhat to the east of what is now the college campus. To venture far from this crude highway of those days meant considerable trouble, un¬ less the season was winter when the swampy surface was frozen over. The blackberries of this neighborhood were famous over the county, of which Muncie was the Capitol City. The first cabin near the present sight of the school was erected less than a mile to the south, on what is now the Love Stock Farm, by David McCracken, one of the county’s pioneers, on this log road which has since been named Harmon Street. T he home of the first school teacher in Grant County, William James, a pioneer of some education, used to stand where the Anderson road crossed Deer Creek to the south of the school. Around these cabins grew the Quaker settlement which has had so much influence on local history. Prominently connected with this settlement was the Underground Railroad, a station of which had been established at the George Shugart residence. From there fugitive negroes from the South were spirited past the point where the Wesleyan Methodists were to establish a school in later years, to Isaac Jay’s barn which stood near the old McFeely mill on the Mississinewa River, near the Friends Cemetery, now a part of the Marion I.O.O.F. Cemetery. The next station to the north was the Moses Bradford farm, and the next being near Wabash, the famous Small station. $ — ii Hpl Hfl (Continued to page sixty-five.) me Ci)e Marionette ’24 Theological College Course BEDROS M.

This fact is reiterated at almost every conference and convention. It is to be noted that when the need of workers is mentioned, the statement is usually qualified with considerable emphasis upon the fact that the workers needed are trained workers. God has, in the past, laid his hand upon some uneducated and un¬ trained laymen and women, called them to His service and used them in a very remarkable way; and doubtless will continue to do so in the future. The prophet Amos was one of these. But God has had a “School of the Prophets” since the days of Samuel, and the Bible and Theological School which remains true to Him has a great mission. The minister or worker of today must serve his own generation; not another. He who would serve his generation must meet that generation on the plane where they live. All other things being equal, the men and women who meet their generation upon their own plan of intelligence will be accepted as leaders in spiritual things, in preference to those who are indifferent to educational standards. Marion College School of 7 heology is maintained to provide for men and women who are called of God to Christian work, either at home or abroad, the best possible training available. The variety of courses offered make it possible for the various groups to secure the kind of training they may decide upon. The Bible School Course and the 7 heological Course provide respectively two years and four years of training for any who are capable of doing the work, ir¬ respective of former training. 7 he 7 h. B. Course is arranged for those who have completed High School, and desire a combination course of College and Seminary work leading to the Th. B. degree. The Graduate Seminary Course is provided for College Graduates who desire to pursue work for the B.D. degree. Almost fifty students have enrolled in the School of Theology this year. 47 NORMAL Normal Graduates ANNA BOSLEY Spring 1 9 24 MILLIE FARR Spring 19 24 DOLLIE MILLER Spring 1 924 A light to guide, a rod to check the erring and reprove DESSIE HAYS LORENE SPITLER Summer 1923 Spring 1924 FERN CURTS Spring 1 924 Charm strikes the sight, but merit wins the soul 1BBI Normal Graduates DELIGHT WILEY EVELINE RITCHIE Spring 1 924 Summer 1923 HERMAN BAKER Public School Music Spring 1 924 In youth and beauty wisdom is but rare KATHERINE RILEY Summer 1923 PEARL RILEY Summer 1923 BELVA HARDIN Summer 1923 But sure the eye of time beholds no name So blest as thine in all the rolls of fame Normal Graduates IRMA MILLER SADIE AKERS Summer 1 923 Summer 192 3 Our Best Is Not Too Much To Give By Della Waters Although our task sometimes dismays. Our hearts are never sad; Throughout the hours of happy days, For work we are so glad. We dare say none has n ' er been born, Who has no place to fill. So with this thought each golden morn. We can but do His will. We feel our work is great, indeed. To train the youthful mind. In all the walks of life, to heed The virtues of mankind. The teacher moulds the child to live. Perhaps it maybe wailed That if her best she does not give, To that extent, she’s failed. But if the teacher patient be And has all work well done, A life of blessing she shall see, As bright as noon day sun. Then let’s be pure and nobly live And to ourselves be true; Our best is not too much to give, And this, we gladly do. 52 --■-LLi-.———. Wilna Rig.shoe . President Merle Carter .

All teacher-training institutions and departments are accredited by the State d raining Board and are, in a very great measure, under state supervision. All courses of study are made or approved by the Department of Public Instruction, and all teachers in the department, whether in the College or in the public schools where students do their observation and practice teaching must be approved by the State Training Board. Marion College was accredited for Class A and Class B, the one- year course and the two-year course. In February, 1924, the school was accredited for more extensive work as shown by the following letter from Oscar H. Williams, Inspector of Teacner Training: President John W. Leedy, Marion College, Marion Indiana. Dear President Leedy: At its regular meeting today the State Board of Education approved the following recommendations of the Inspector of Teacher Training: Approval of the two-year and four-year courses offered by Marion College, is recommended, as follows: (1) Two-year courses for elementary teachers in intermediate and grammar grades, (2) Four-year courses for regular high school teachers in subject groups, to-wit: English, mathematics, Latin, science, and social studies. Said courses to be given as outlined in bulletin 64. You will kindly preserve this communication as the official notice of accreditment. Very sincerely yours, Oscar H. Williams, Inspector of Teacher Training. This greatly enlarges the field of work in teacher training, and in¬ creases the responsibilities of the Institution. With the completion of the new McCulloch public school building in South Marion, the students in teacher training will have the oppor¬ tunity to do their observation and practice teaching in one of the finest and best equipped buildings in the State. This building will contain all grades from the first to the ninth, including the junior high school. Those preparing for high school te aching will do their observation and practice teaching in the new junior high school building on Third Street. In addition to the work done in the College, instructors are giving extension courses to more than one hundred twenty City and County teachers in service. It is the purpose of this Institution to perfect the work in all de¬ partments so that no better opportunities for teacher-training may be found anywhere. r ' A mm HELEN L Amphictyon Literary HANNA EDITH M.

The people of Gal- ion, Ohio, were gathering around their firesides to enjoy the evening. At the fireside of one home, the family was gathered in a large well-fur¬ nished living room. Suddenly the doorbell rang and a servant answered the call. She immediately returned and handed a card to the head of the home. After gazing at it a moment he exclaimed, “Well, well, well, John Ayres, who¬ ever would have thought it!’ With that he rushed to the door and wel¬ comed his old classmate. “Well, John, where hav e you been all this time? It seems like a century since I saw you last! Lets see! Fifteen, sixteen years since we last met. How are you, anyway?” The visitor answered, “We were just passing through on the way to Washington when my wife spoke about your living here. I investigated and found we would have time to stop off and see you. Well John, how are Mrs. Eastburn and the children? I suppose you are still in the cloth¬ ing business.” “Yes, they are very well, thank you; come in and have a chair.” With that Mr. Eastburn lead Mr. and Mrs. Ayres into the living room. Mrs. Ayres and Mrs. Eastburn were soon busy talking about their domestic affairs, while their husbands talked over old times. They soon had their attention buried in an old “Marionette” for the years 1923-24. “Say, John,” suddenly asked Mr. Ayres, “what have you he ard lately of Edith? The last I knew, she was living somewhere in Kentucky: Oh, I know now, she was teaching academy english in a small college in Middlesburg, a little place in the southern part of the State,” “I guess you’re right, seems to me I heard something like that.” Mr. Eastburn then drew a small notebook out of his vest pocket and said, “I have been jotting down a little news about our old classmates as I have learned about them. According to this, Blanche Becker and Lewrene Hanna have started an “Old Maids Infirmary” or something of that kind at Jonesboro, I guess its prospering. Dorothy Litzenberg became the wife of a rich western farmer and is looked up to by the com¬ munity because of her wise judgment and advice.. Hazel Warner is now the wife of a rich shoe merchant in the south where they are noted for their charity work. I suppose you have heard that Clinton Mack is one of our great public speakers. They say he has great power of express¬ ing himself by words and actions.” Mr. Ayres said, “I am very glad to hear of my old classmates and how they are prospering. It is but a few minutes until train time so we must hurry on. We hope you will have many more enjoyable years.” Soon he was on his way to the work that lay before him in congress. C. M.; J.

Many of the older houses in South Marion are built of timber that literally grew where the houses were built. Prominently associated with this period in the development of the South Marion community was the old brick house now used as men’s dormitory by the college. Contrary to popular tradition, this building post-dates the Underground Railroad, it having been erected by Isaac Smith in 1864, one of the mansions of the country. The “Old College’’ standing at the corner of Washington and Thirty-eighth streets, was the county’s first venture into the field of higher education. Prof. A. Jones, Dean of the Normal school in the present Marion College first came to Marion as an instructor and director of this institution. The building was erected in 1 889 and was in use until 1900, when the present building superceded the old plant. Mr. Jones tells his classes of how he helped build a college in a clover field, the present campus having been bare of trees a quarter of a century ago. The present stand of shade trees being the result of the forethought of the builders. South Marion has developed into a college community. Through all these years, an institution of higher education having been the character¬ istic peculiarity of the vacinity for many seasons. r i PICNICKERS BIBLE CLASS ALL DRESSED BETTY - COME ON OVER PALS WALL FLOWERS HAPPY FIVE SIMME BITE SENIORS THANKSGIVING DORIS PROF.

Music As An Art RT is the expression of elevated thought, it is a state of mind and heart, and the art of music more so than the other arts. Poetry, painting, and sculpture have tangible forms. But music is formless—it is all feeling. Music is, therefore, more dynamic, and produces a deeper emotional effect. Music is a divine gift. Life, itself begins and ends in music. The world in which we live is permeated with music. Land water, and sky are full of elemental music of many kinds and degrees of intensity. The wind ..

The power of music is very great over man. The highest class of music with its intellectual and spiritual elements, has been found effective over afflictions. We bring to mind the time of Saul in the Bible, when the evil spirit was permitted of God to come upon him, David took an harp, and played with his hand. Saul was refreshed and the evil spirit left him. At present music is being used in trying to restore the mind and health of our soldiers of the World War. In case a fire breaks out in a crowded building, if possible, music is always played to keep the people as calm as possible, to prevent the loss of life by overcrowding. :n=n2 Ci)e marionette ’24 km ALMA MATER K N A 1-i—— !t ; : •- - • m • 0 m . x 2.

Is there anything more wonderful than to move hundreds, yes, thousands of individuals by the sweet sounds of the keyboard or the notes of song? The amount and kind pleasure which music gives to man are frequently beyond his understanding and control. They are consequences of that particular combination of material and spiritual elements. Shakes¬ peare said, ' the man that is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, is a man, which is not to be trusted.” As music touches and comforts the soul of more people than any other art, I call it the greatest of all arts. M. M. F. ’24. - Expression Students Local Oratorical Contest O NE of the most popular events of the school year is the annual Peace Oratorical Contest. The Contest is held between the different colleges and universities of the State. Each college entered holds a local oratorical contest to determine the merits of its orators. The orator winning first place in the school represents his school in the State Contest. l ‘ f sy It is this local contest that has excited such interest among the stu¬ dents of Marion College. This year a number of entrants appeared in the wave of enthusiasm that followed the announcement of the event. The interest was intensified by the offering of a prize of twenty-five dollars in gold to the winner of the local contest. Enthusiasm ne’er wrote an oration and in a few weeks the number of contestants dwindled to three, each grimly determined to win or make the winner break the record. Miss Pearl Reist, Mr. D. Paul Huffman and Mr. P. P. Belew were the faithful and persistent three. The prospects, with these three orators contending for the honors, could be nothing but bright and each of them had quotas of pre-contest judges among the students. The contest itself fulfilled all expectations. The orations were ty¬ pical of the orators themselves and were suited to their style and character¬ istic of presentation. Each speaker proposed some plan the fulfillment of which would bring about the longed-for but elusive ideal of peace. Each oration was constructive and showed study and thought on the part of the writer. The decision for the local contest was not based entirely upon the delivery of the oration on the evening of the contest. Each manuscript was carefully analyzed and graded before the contest and the final decision was based upon the average of the combined grades of delivery and manu¬ script. The decision was so close that the audience could hardly be blamed for losing patience with the judges who seemed interminably slow with their decision. The final result showed that Mr. Huffman had won first place by a narrow margin on both manuscript and delivery. That meant that Mr. Huffman must represent Marion College in the State Contest. This is the second year that Marion has been represented in the state event. The first representation was made by Mr. Harold W. Stoke who set for Marion College a unique standard in the lines of oratory and expression. H. W. S. ’24. Ct)e Marionette ’24 State Oratorical Contest ' TRHE State Peace Oratorical Contest held between the different colleges and universities of the state of Indiana was held at Marion College this year. A year ago Indiana Central College of Indianapolis was host of the contest. At that time the invitation was extended from Marion College, the invitation was accepted. Entrance to this contest is placed on a competitive basis. Each college, wh ' ich has signified its desire to send an orator, holds a local contest to determine its best speaker. The oration of the winner of the local contest is sent to the State Secretary to be judged in a contest of orations. The seven best orations are then taken from the number submitted and the schools whose fortune it is to possess orators with winning productions are then entitled to be represented in the state event. The final contest is judged upon delivery only, for the orations are previously graded upon their merits. The schools which survived the con¬ test of manuscripts and were represented in the state Contest were: Marion C College, Indiana Central College, Wabash College, Earlham College, Man¬ chester College, Purdue University, Taylor University and Franklin College. Mr. D. Paul Huffman represented Marion College in the State Con¬ test. Although Mr. Huffman did not win first place, his record at the State Contest maintained the former standard of oratory set by the repre¬ sentative of Marion College. It is hoped that as Marion grows in years she will grow in influence with the other colleges entered in the Peace Contests. The prizes offered are given by the Misses Seabury of Mass. The first prize consists of sixty dollars in money and the second of forty dollars. Many states of the union hold these annual peace contests and the prizes for them are contributed by these two ladies. After the completion of the state contests, a national contest is held to determine the best orator from all the states participating. It is hoped that these contests in the in¬ terests of universal peace will be influencial in bringing about the much desired peace. H. W. S. ' 24. Tmx I I ilfjlil Ct)e Marionette ’24 From War To Peace T HE memories of the war torn years from nineteen hundred and four¬ teen to nineteen hundred and eighteen are not passing with time. The impressions of those years have been too deeply imbedded in the public mind for it hastily to forget the agonies of that period. The ten million lives which were lost on the battlefield constitute too great a sacrifice to consider it as a mere passing event. The nations of the world have suffered too greatly to ignore the cause of this great struggle, the cause which is still threatening humanity. From the beginning of history we are able to trace warfare, as the means of settling disputes, for territorial expansion, and in cases of some mili¬ tary leaders, as Alexander the Great and Napoleon Bonaparte, as a matter of personal aggrandizement. Preparations were not made for the Great World War in a short period of time. All was ready, and when the occasion arose little time was needed for mobilization. The world powers had been for years preparing and planning for war. The nations of Europe were for centuries engaged in a competition, in a struggle fof military superiority which finally plunged the world into war. At the close of the eighteenth century France was considered the military power of the world, with a mobilization of one to every one hundred inhabitants. In a little less than a century a stronger military power had arisen, and the Franco-Prussian war closed with the German forces victorious over the French troops. Science pro¬ vided new implements for military competition, and inventors worked faithfully in order to surpass their rival nations in the production of munitions of war. Germany found that a repeating rifle would greatly increase the efficiency of her infantrymen. Because of this improvement, France found it necessary to scrap her single-shot rifles and replace them with repeaters. The British proved that huge battleships, armed with large guns, could be easily victorious over the smaller crafts of mixed calibers. This meant that the other nations must scrap their fleets and re¬ place them with dreadnaughts. Germany, in the center of European Civilization, for forty years set the pace. She had found in the Franco-Prussian war that a nation with its army scientifically prepared from the minutest detail to a definite plan of campaign was not likely subject to military humiliation. In all her schools she established military training for the youth. This training did not end with the completion of school work, but at definite times the young men were compelled to lay aside their labors and resume their train¬ ing, in order that they might maintain physical and military fitness. Germany, having instituted military training of the youth, her rivals must, in order to maintain their national integrity, practice a like policy, and they, too, instituted national military training. The three factors of public influence were drafted into use for mili¬ tary preparation. In Germany the State controlled the pulpit, the press, and the school. Into the very lives of the German people were drilled the science of war and a hatred for their enemies. The school teachers and pro¬ fessors were controlled by the state, and taught “the religion of valor” as patriotism. So powerfully were these factors of public influence, the pul¬ pit, press and school, wielded in favor of militarism that the people were Si™® mmi llll C e Marionette ’24 constantly preparing for war. Their railroads led to every frontier, mak¬ ing it possible for German troops, in time of necessity, to be hastily tran¬ sported to any scene of action. Could the Great World War have been averted with all this prepara¬ tion and an inherited militaristic ideal on the part of European Nations 7 The conditions and relations of these countries were such that all was needed was an opportunity for them to measure their military strength. General Maurice of the British Army said, If you prepare for war thoroughly and efficiently, you will get war, and that is exactly what happened. The assassination of an Austrian Prince gave the occasion, and little time was lost by these great prepared powers in mobilizing their well- trained troops. The bloodshed and sacrifice of the next four years are well known. The world emerged after that great conflict, a world in ruin, with millions in their graves, millions more wounded, lands and homes destroyed and countless widows and orphans left to struggle helplessly on for an exis¬ tence. And today, although almost six years have elapsed since the signing of the armistice, the countries of the world, and Europe in particular, are groaning under the burdens that they must bear as a result of that great war. Their resources are involved for centuries to come, in the payment of the debt incurred during that struggle. What hopes for peace and prosperity have the people of these nations, when they know that neither they nor their children, nor their grandchildren will see the day when they will be free from the great debt they must bear, a result of war? In our own country, although conditions are not to be compared with those of the European countries, we are expending too great an amount in the payment of wars, past present and future, to cast aside all efforts for the establishment of a world peace. Although eighty-six per cent of our annual budget is consumed by effects of and preparations for war, our military and naval leaders say they must have an increase in order to develop and maintain the forces necessary for an adequate war prepara¬ tion. With the rapid development of science, the next war, should it come, would have far more disastrous results than the last. All would be in¬ volved; soldier and sailor, men and boys, women and children. Edison says, By the use of the gas-carrying airplanes, the great city of London could be wiped out in three hours, and there is no way of preventing it. Remembering that preparation for war brought on certain war, and being devoutly desirous of peace, the inescapable logic of the situation is, we must prepare for peace. The great question is. how can we prepare for peace? If treaties of peace, conferences and tribunals fail to establish a world peace, to what source shall we turn for the establishment of peace? If our national leaders cannot make effective their peace plans, who or what can do so? A national or world peace cannot be brought about by legislation, by a Versailles treaty, by conferences of International committies, or by a Hague Tribunal. A world peace cannot be brought about until there is born in the hearts and minds of the people of the world a desire and deter¬ mination for a permanent peace. There must be developed a social con¬ science which demands not war, but peace. kMMii Cf)e Marionette ’24 Immediately another question arises: How is this social conscience which demands a peaceable adjustment of the differencs of men and nations to be brought about? Just as the pulpit, the press and the school have been directed toward the promotion of war preparedness, they must be directed toward preparedness for peace. Men must be made to think in terms of peace instead of in terms of war. In European countries these factors of influence have wrought effec¬ tively in preparing for war. The youth were trained in the ethics of war¬ fare: primers were filled with stories of daring heroism of brave soldiers. What child does not idealize this form of bravery when it is his constant teaching! Through the pulpit, the press and the school, Germany carried on her military propaganda until she came to be beyond dispute the world’s greatest military power. She has had her military system crushed, but the pulpit, the press and the school are being utilized in the interests of world destruction. General Lassiter, of France, brings these facts forcibly before us when he says, “The units now being definitely established will provide a force of about three million men, and this must be done by militarizing the thinking of the youth.’’ France recognizes the value of these influences and at present has them in operation. On the covers of 380,000 copies of a French primer is the picture of German soldiers shooting down a French boy whose hands are raised in a dramatic gesture no child could forget. Under the picture are the words: “Mother, I promise. Hatred will thus be drilled into the hearts of the French children which they will not outgrow this side of eternity. The world must be influenced for peace and this can be done. Utilize these great factors in the interests of peace and they will function as unfail¬ ingly as they did in the interests of war. Eradicate from the pulpit the propaganda for war and military preparation, and from it herald a message of peace and goodwill. This will counteract the feeling that we must prepare for war. Our newspapers must be freed from military propaganda. The children in the schools, instead of having their thinking militarized, must be taught kindness, a love for all, the heroism of peace, and that war is a past curse of humanity. Much as the world sighs for peace, it will never be realized until this program of peace is inaugurated. This program must begin far, far back of trenches, no man’s land, liquid flame on long drawn battle lines, and spectacular encounters among the clouds. It must begin in the hearts of men and women whose posterity is yet unborn. It must be handed down as a precious heritage to sons and daughters of a people who have striven heroically to free themselves from a lingering and stubborn uncivilization. This fortunate generation must be schooled in the philosophy of right over and against that of might; in the power of a spiritual dynamic over that of a physical force. They must be shown the curse of war, and the glory of peace: must be made to love humanity and hate destruction. Long and tedious as the process may appear, it is comparatively short and the result assured. The price is insignificant, if that for which the human heart craves may be attained. In that glad day, and not until then, will men beat their swords into plowshares and spears into prunning hooks, and men and nations will know war no more. D. Paul Huffman, ’25 Journal Staff JOHN W. LEEDY RUTH WRIGHT LAWRENCE C. DAVIS Administration Student Editor Editor-in-Chief Editor-in-Chief Administration The Aim Of The Journal Staff ' ■J ' -HE Marion College Journal being a young publication showed the usual possibilities of growth and development. The staff of 1923 see¬ ing these opportunities determined to put forth their best efforts to make it a growing and thriving publication. Thus to produce the best Marion College Journal ever published was the natural aim of the Journal staff as they undertook the work at the beginning of the school year. They desired the school paper to be a true reflection of the student body and devoted to its interests. Hence the various organizations should be given their places and the school events featured largely. Only student material, solid and thought provoking yet spicy, should be used on these pages as far as possible. In order to present all of this material the space of the students department of the paper was gradually enlarged. The staff also desired to publish a paper which should truly register the spirit of Marion College—a paper which might well represent the school to her friends as well as to strangers. It should stand firm for the fundamentals of faith and the religious doctrines for which the church and school stand. It should show fo rth the scholastic standards of the school. The Staff desired that the Marion College Journal should mirror the spirit of the institution and serve her best interest. Cijc Marionette ’24 J. A. HUFFMAN Associate Ediloi J. O.

During these years of its existence the avowed purpose has been “ ' to fit the members for the varied duties of life, to pro¬ mote social activities among the students, to cultivate a correct mode of speaking, to qualify each one by practice to express his opinion in public in a correct manner and to derive benefit from the ideas of others. The year 1 9 23 -’ 24 has been one in which progress along these lines has been made, for the leaders of the club have felt that literary work occupies a large place in college life. True Eureka spirit has been manifested in many activities through out the year. On registration days the membership committee aroused the interest of the new students for the club by the drive which was made, the white and green tags bore evidence of the success. Soon after the holi¬ days enthusiasm ran high, Amphictyon curiosity still higher when an¬ nouncement of the Eureka Special was made. The excursion ran on schedule time, making stops at many points of interest along the way. The sole aim of the club is growth. This does not mean growth in membership alone, but growth in intellectuality and self-confidence as well. The greatest value of literary clubs lies in the fact that they prepare one for g reater possibilities of life after college. Versatile programs have been arranged for the purpose of developing all literary talents so that poise and ease might be maintained before the public while rendering any form of production. The constructive criticism that has been given each production at the meetings by way of pointing out faults and good points has been a valuable aid in directing all literary efforts toward a higher standard. The more obvious results of Eureka efforts can be seen by ob¬ serving the Eureka members holding positions of leadership in practically all phases of college life. In short we have put into practice in our pro¬ grams that sage advice, We learn to do by doing. r Tri.yg 1 1 — 1 —. 83 -J o , cj Q £ — 1 o 2iX u: b .0 jd c o n cd c CJ S) oo 3 cj ;_ ns at ; _ cj f 11 -s as ° —i o U „• cj . rj K CQ H ‘ O X : «-S-S S - i-c d cQ 3 , U c « ' OmE ' «j 5 ; L£W = £ c S c i ° . o ‘ CJ n n � � s s s s w x E S s p CJ -C o j£ H — 1 jc; e O 2 K- y u -- n‘ £ 3 C -• CJ CJ I — 1 O tj s « Z 2 •- X 3 _c ■5 ; u s -xis N 3 c E — a - 3 a o E co E .5N U (U §2 nS c 3 j-° - • 0 O - — (S, .

For this purpose over six hundred dollars was raised. Our hearts have been stirred and inspired by earnest messages from Mary Greene, our own missionary to India. Rev. McCarty, the Con- nectional Foreign Missionary Secretary; Miss Howlett, a returned mis¬ sionary from Africa; and others, as they revealed to us the staggering need and the opportunity for which we are responsible. A mission study class has been organized to deepen the interest in this work. Some of our number have received a definite call and are preparing to carry the light of the Gospel to the darkened corners of the earth. It is our desire to create such an atmosphere through this organization that the students may not only see the need, but be ready to say, “Here am I, Lord, send me.” We thank God for His blessing upon us through the past year and expect great things for the future. We hope that Marion College will soon be represented on every mission field by Spirit-filled men and women who have been obedient to the heavenly vision. 86 —C. I. D. ’27. SPu Cfcc Marionette ’24 k. m SS S ' -- ' YYLon A Letter From Our Y. M. W. B. Missionary p Dear Students and Faculty of Marion College, Greetings in Jesus’ Name: May God’s richest blessings rest on you and His strong arm of power undergird you and make you channels of blessing, is the prayer of your un worthy missionary, by whom you have been so nobly standing and for whom you have been praying. Having been a student myself, I feel that I know what it means for you to support a missionary. I am unable and altogether unworthy to be your representative in far away India, but by God’s grace I will never betray your confidence in me. In Psalm 2:8 we read, “Ask of me, and I will give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.’’ There are three ways by which we can ask for the heathen. First by pray¬ ing. Second, by paying. Third, by going. Thank God for the Marion College Y. M. W. B. and its members, who are asking by praying and payiny, and 1 assure you faith will be rewarded and when that great day, for which all other days were made, breaks in upon us, your crowns will be decked with many stars, whose glory shall not fade away. I assure you that the memory of my pleasant associations with you will be an encouragement to me, and the jungles of India will not seem so jungly. Thank God for your fellowship. We are glad that missionary work is a partnership affair. A work in which we can all be co-workers. It is a work upon which the sun never sets, and upon which the even¬ ing shadows never fall. When the sun begins to sink in your western sky, the dawning of a new day has begun in India. We are up and about our Master’s business when you are asleep and then while we are enjoying the night’s rest, you are carrying the burden for us. We thank God for your faithfulness, and pray that we will work together while it is called day, for the night cometh when no man can work. May the Lord bless Marion College, for it has been a great inspiration to me, and I trust that from among your number will come missionaries, pastors and evangelists that will bless theworld. God bless you all, and may his spirit watch between me and thee when we are absent one from another. I am, your missionary in His glad service, MARY F. GREENE. MARY GREENE 87 J-S Cf)c Marionette ’24 Students’ Conference T HE Students’ Conference has been an active organization in Marion College for the last two years. Its purpose is to promote righteous¬ ness and true holiness in the lives of individuals and to give practical training to the young Christian workers of the College. While the Students’ Conference aims to maintain the spiritual life and high stan¬ dards of the College, it also endeavors to carry the Gospel message to others. The work within the school is mainly that of holding prayer meetings and doing personal work. Throughout the school year three regular prayer meetings were held each week, one on Tuesday evening, one Friday noon, and another especially for young men on Monday evenings. The results and influences of these meetings in the school, no tongue can tell, but they are blessed and owned of the Lord. Time and time again He meets with us. Many times He gives assurance that He will answer the petitions that ascend from a burdened heart. Many times our hearts burn within us as we waited before Him in prayer, in song, or testimony. It is true, as some have said, the students ' prayer meetings held in store some of the greatest treats of Marion College. As is characteristic of all Christians, the students are anxious to tell others the story of Jesus, and take advantage of some splendid opportun¬ ities. Services are held in the County Jail each Sunday afternoon, and at the County Infirmary every other Sunday. These services are a blessing to the inmates, as well as the students that conduct them. The students that v ork so faithfully at the Infirmary are awarded for their efforts by seeing souls pray t hrough to victory. Seme of these souls only a few weeks later are called home to glory to await the coming of those who led them to Christ. The jail services are also times of victory. Some seek Christ as their Saviour, and many others are touched by the spirit of God, as is ' shown by requests for prayer, or by large tears wending their way across a sin stained face, while the word is being read or a hymn sung. Much of the success of these services are due to the hearty co-operation of Sheriff Renbarger and Superintendent Benson, these men granted the students the privilege of holding their services and help in every way they can. Looking back over the year that has just closed we feel it has been one of advancement in spiritual things. Besides victories outside the school there have been many within. Students who come from homes where real salvation is a stranger return with good experiences because God moves on their hearts and they accept Him. Surely through the year He has been within and blessed us, as we endeavored to walk in the light. —Rufus Reisdorph ’25. €t )C Marionette ’24 Our Student Pastors I ==11 A. G. SIMMONS has been pastor of the Home Park M. E. Church since April, 1923. For the remainder of that school year Mr. Simmons en¬ tered 7 ' aylor University, returning to his charge on Sundays. At the close of the spring term he located at Home Corner permanently. Last fall Mr. Simmons found it advantageous and profitable for him to con¬ tinue his college work, and enrolled as a Senior in Marion College. Mr. Simmons says that the work is growing and that both the pastor and the church have been greatly blessed. MR. and MRS. JACKSON, who have been pastors of the Wesleyan Church at Fowlerton since 1922, report that, due to the large number of young people who are taking an active part in the work, the field is a very inspiring one in which to labor. The blessing of the Lord is upon the work and the pastors report good prospects for the church in the future. MR. LOYD LANAHAN was reappointed to his charge at Forest by the Annual Conference of the Methodist Protestant Church. The previous year was a marked success with the organization of a Sunday School. This year also has shown a marked increase both financially and spiritually, and Lanahan resumed his work with the expectations to make this church one of the strongest in the Conference. After a successful revival, the .pastor reported a remarkable increase in attendance both in church and Sunday School. Pastor and people give God all the praise. MR. P. P. BELEW, after having spent the summer in evangelistic campaigns, came to Marion and took charge of the Nazarene Church. The results of the revival are being continuously felt, and the pastor re¬ ports a big outlook for the future. MR. STOPP has been preaching at the Gaston Methodist Protestant Church since last October, and reports very favorable results. Mr. Stopp says. It is glorious to know that one is obeying his Father’s command and securing such valuable experience as a student pastor. F ROM the northern seas, from among the sea hunters, has come to us a man of eminent worth. Mr. S. M. Eidsath is the gentleman ' s name. Not only has he attained honorable mention on the debating team be¬ cause of his keen intellect and wealth of experience, but Mr. Eidsath, through his pleasing personality and sharp wittedness, has won for him¬ self many friends. We are indeed proud that such a character as this should so actively represent Marion College. That old maxim that the best goods are contained in small packages is embodied in our debater and student. Mr. J. V. Roth. A very fitting motto for Mr. Roth would be, “not known by name alone but by deeds.” He figures prominently among the students of Marion College and is greatly respected by all. Josiah is exceptionally talented in speaking and we are sure success with all its trophies await him in the future. The third member of the affirmative debating team is Mr. Kenneth Leisenring. “Ken” hails from Michigan, the Wolverine state. He has taken wonderful strides toward success as a debater and public speaker. We admire Mr. Leisenring for his clear presentation, self-confidence and persuasive power. Last, but not least, as member of the affirmative debating team is Mr. George Kirkendall. Although Mr. Kirkendall has taken up the study of aeronautics, we must admit that he has not neglected his Alma Mater. Mr. Kirkendall served the affirmative debating team as alternate, this posi¬ tion demands the best of debaters. We have reasons to be proud of our debating team and feel that we may, without doubt, expect bigger and greater things from its members. —M. R. ' ll . 90 Cbe Marionette ’24 Negative Debating Team H AROLD W. Stoke, Rufus Reisdorph, Thomas Smith and Calvin Stopp were chosen to support the negative side of the question debated in the Inter-collegiate Debates this year. On Friday evening, March 7th, our team met North Manchester’s Affirmative team at North Manchester. Here they were defeated two to one, the victory for North Manchester being gained by a very small mar¬ gin. On the evening of March 21st, our negative team remained in Marion and debated the Huntington affirmative team. The decision of the judges were unanimous in favor of the Marion team. Harold Stoke is the only man on the negative team who has in any way formerly received honors in debate. In it he is a master. His keen analytical mind, his wide scope of knowledge on current subjects and his subtle power of reasoning qualify him for the forum. Last year Mr. Stoke won first prize in the Inter-Society Debating Contest. The success which marked the initial appearance of Rufus Reisdorph in the inter-collegiate debates was of eminent rank. Rufus has another year in college, in which time we expect that even greater success will be his. No greater encouragement could be given him than the fact that Prof. Scott, of Purdue University predicted a great future for him in the field of debate. Thomas Smith is also a Senior in college and a man of no little ability and promise. Mr. Smith handled his part of the program with admirable credit. The last named man, and the one who seldom speaks in debate, is the alternate. Calvin Stopp was chosen alternate of the negative team. He attained this place by proving his capability. Marion College has a team in these men of which she is justly proud. They all have success assured them as they continue to meet the great and confronting issues of life. —O. P. R. ’25 Marionette ’24 Girls’ Debating Teams Up! up! my friend and quit your books; Or surely you ' ll grow double: Up! up! my friend, and clear your looks; Why all this toil and trouble? ■ —Wordsworth. y EBATING demands work, but we are glad that our girls applied them¬ selves to their task. Girls’ Debating Teams were organized in Marion College soon after the organization of the Boys’ Debating Teams. Debating is an activity that is valuable to both the participant and to the hearer. The opposing views of vital questions are thoroughly investi¬ gated and weighed. Much time is employed in the preparation. For the first time Marion College has participated in Intercol¬ legiate debates. Under the careful supervision of Mrs. McAninch, the debaters qualified to meet their opponents April 8th. The girls represent¬ ed our school at Taylor and at Marion against the Girls’ Debating Teams of Taylor. Our girls showed earnestness, application and keen interest. The two teams were composed of: Marion Fite, Delores Maggart and Lucile Lewis; Leora VanMatre, Ruth Wright and Irene Marshall: with Catherine DeVol and Mrs. C. O. Bush as alternates. We are pleased that Marion College is entering into such intellectual intercollegiate activities. These are worth while. Let us look forward to greater success the coming year.

Three programs were given through the year: Handel’s Messiah was ren¬ dered just before the Christmas vacation: at Easter-time From Olivet to Calvary was given before a large and appreciative audience: the season ended for the chorus during Commencement Week, at which time they rendered three numbers. Zm r- M$k Marionette ’24 rm Alumni Association JN the organization of the Association it was approved that all graduates of the Fairmount Bible School and all graduates from the various departments of Marion College shall constitute the Alumni. The Alumni Association of any college or university is an intregal part of the institution. A number of universities are composed almost entirely of the Alumni Association. The earlier the alumni becomes con¬ scious of this fact the earlier prosperity will come to the College. It has been ours to enjoy the privileges given by her; now it is our responsibility to uphold her. It is evident that Marion College, like all other colleges, will depend largely upon her graduates. There is a law in society that causes her to respond to the things she has acquainted herself with. It is foolishness for us to expect our friends, though faithful as they have been, to always be our constituency. Appreciation for our Alma Matre. To the student entering college an ideal is set before his vision. It may be seen in a superior or in a mem¬ ber of the faculty. Thus he endeavors to reach the goal. Unconsciously as he strives those finer senses are being interwoven in his life.. Educa¬ tional strides means accomplishment. Sentiment, agreeableness, tact, and ability are foundation stones in life. And as we discover these, qualities thus we appreciate our Alma Mater. The world is the field for the Alumni. It is the duty of any insti¬ tution to educate men for the various walks of life. If we need a safe Christian school to educate our ministry, surely the need to ed ucate our laity is no less. Already the Alumni is represented on every field of labor in the Church and her influence in wielding for righteousness. What a great opportunity she has in accomplishing her end. The cry is for men. Honest, able and upright men. EDWARD E. CORY, President. 95 ra I Of Marionette ’24 JIB mrcz=riJ Pierros Thrix Kathryn Ancil—“Stubby” Marshall R.

Robust humanity is ever striving toward some achievement which men are pleased to call success. Nowhere is this race for achievement more clearly manifested than in a thriving, progressive institution of learning. Ultimate success may not be reached soon, not even in years, but there may be a continual pro¬ gress towards it. We have abundant evidence to believe that Marion College is a pro¬ gressive young institution. Each year we feel that our school has made progress in one way or another. This year our progress is concretely dis¬ played in a fine gymnasium. This beautiful, spacious and comfortable structure will, in the future, serve many a worthy purpose and will be a credit to the college, especially to the Student builders of 192 3-1924. That Marion College needed a gymnasium was no longer a disputed question, but an actual fact. First, the Indiana State Educational laws require physical training in State accredited institutions. Second, every young man and women in every department of the school needs physical exercises in order to keep his or her body and mind fit for the strenuous mental strain involved in book learning. And finally, Marion College needed an auditorium with adequate seating capacity to accomodate the crowds which attend her public functions. The need was obvious indeed but the question was—how shall the need be met? The church is already burdened heavily with all of its worthy projects; and so it was felt that it would be an imposition on the church to ask her to build the gymnasium, however much needed. But the need still remained. Marion College has a faculty and student body second to none. Thus these loyal young men and women together with their instructors de¬ cided to make themselves responsible for the building of the gymnasium. A committee was formed composed of representatives from every depart¬ ment of the school. These men and women counselled together and drew plans, and made all the investigations necessary for the building . Marion College has her own architects and artists who made the plans and sketches of the structure. The securing of finances was another problem that loomed large be¬ fore the school. But the need for the gymnasium was so urgent that the committee decided at once to present the matter to the students. One morn¬ ing in chapel the students responded nobly with subscriptions amounting to more than a thousand dollars. A second means for securing funds was used. The students wrote letters to their friends soliciting free-will as- XW ---- 1 im w €tje Marionette ’24 MMBIIM sistance in our building proposition. There was also a generous response in this campaign. Then lastly, the city of Marion was canvassed. In order that the building might be a stable structure and yet be built as economically as possible, the young men of the college assisted largely in its construction. The only hired labor consisted in expert brick-layers who raised the walls, the remainder of the work being done by the students. The structure is fifty feet wide and ninety feet long. It contains a basket ball floor of standard size, and has dressing rooms for men and women respectively. These dressing rooms are carefully fitted with lockers and showers. The auditorium has a seating capacity of about one thousand. The foundation of the building is of solid concrete. The walls are of eight inch vitrified “giant brix,” which were manufactured and fur¬ nished by the Hoosier Building Tile Co., of Albany, Indiana. By careful investigation of the building committee, these tile were found satisfactory for the gymnasium in texture, being both water proof and fire proof. The windows are of the best grade of steel frames and will furnish abundant light and ventilation. The clear maple floor is laid over a sub-floor which lies on sleepers set in concrete. The roof supported by frame circular trusses gives ample strength to carry gymnasium apparatus besides the ordinary roof weight. Asbestos rolled roofing is used. Careful attention was given to build a strong, fire-proof structure. It is estimated that the building, when fully completed, will cost about eight thousand dollars. The immediate expenditures during this school year, however, was about five thousand dollars. Some of the de¬ sired conveniences and appliances will be installed la ter. It is the purpose of the faculty and students of Marion College to use this building for the betterment of the physical body, a necessary re¬ quisite to the best mental activity; thus making for the highest develop¬ ment of stalwart Christian characters. —O.

This picture was taken after the “Marionette” had gone to press, but this year book would be far from complete without a picture of this structure. With the expenditure of extra time and money we have been able to give you this picture for your permanent record. This building is built of Hoosier Giant Brix manufactured by the Hoosier Building Tile and Silo Company. The engineers of this com¬ pany worked in cooperation with the student construction committee and student architect, Mr. Freeze. Their years of experience in engineering have well fitted them as experts in construction work. In the construction of the Gymnasium- Auditorium the Hoosier Building Tile and Silo Com¬ pany have unfailingly given their support. The result of the cooperation of the students and engineers is to be seen on the Marion College Campus in the form of the Gym, of this we are indeed proud. —The Staff.
