M. A. c Administration The President’s Message S AYS JOHN HUSTON FINLEY, “Education, how many glittering gen¬ eralities are recorded in its name? Was not Nero educated? Yes, but not in moral conscience and righteousness. Was not Benedict Arnold educated? Yes, but he had very little sense in patriotism and con¬ science. Was not the late German Emperor educated? Yes, in art, in science, in literature and even in theology, but few criminals outcrimed him in hyman history.” It is evident, then, that men may be counted educated and be neither good rulers, good citizens or good men. Men may be educated in crime, in dishonesty, in selfishness or any other tendency of the heart or mind for the word means to “draw out,” or “develop,” or “train.” We do not, how¬ ever, accept the definition without qualification. It is not simply to “draw out” with no reference to the result on direction. The direction makes the difference. We need not spend the time and money in developing men downward, the natural evil in men’s hearts will do that. But men must be helped UPWARD. And if what we term education is not helping men and woman upward, then it is not education, but mere animal training. Our fathers held that a training in KNOWLEDGE and GODLINESS was the end sought. Herbert Spencer said, “To prepare us for complete living is the function which an education has to discharge.” But to live completely one must be symmeterically developed. He must fit the place intended for him; he must be intellectually, morally and spiritually a LIFT¬ ING part in the world of mankind. We may train the intellectual alone and produce a Loeb or a Leopold; we may train the mental and moral alone and produce a pagan philosopher; we may train the religious emotions alone and produce a fanatic. None of these have ever done anything to¬ ward l ifting the world out of darkness, superstition and crime. The men¬ tal is necessary; the moral is necessary and these, touched with life of the spiritual, make the educated man. It is not the education we need if it lays more stress on chemistry than on character; on politics than on piety; on oratory than on obedience; on gymnastics than on God.

Yet her unwritten and unspoken purpose is not so much intellectual as moral; and her strongest hope is to stamp her graduates with an abiding character. Marion College stands for learning, for culture, and for power; in particular, she stands for the recognition of an aim higher than material gain. The Bachelor of Arts is seldom, on his Commencement Day, a scholar either polished or profound; but he may be in an appreciable degree a cultured man. What is understood by the term “cultured man?” A cultured man is not a weak, critical creature who is made vain by a little exclusive in¬ formation ; he is a man of quick perceptions, broad sympathies, and wide affinities; responsive, but independent; self-reliant, but deferential; loving truth and candor, but also moderation and proportion; courageous, but gentle; not finished, but perfecting. All authorities agree that true cul¬ ture is not exclusive, sectarian, or partisan, but the very opposite. This is not attained in solitude, but in society. The best atmosphere for culture is that of a school, university, or church, where many pursue together the ideals of truth, righteousness and love. It has been observed that one of the greatest dangers of the educated man is to be found in his ability to defend more or less successfully any position. He finds it easy to go on subtilizing until he loses all power of recognizing truth. The only way in which an institution may successfully avoid this danger is by furnishing the unusual advantages of a thoroughly Christian Education. Marion College has furnished this invaluable equip¬ ment to her Graduates, with which they may safely launch forth to achieve creditable success for themselves and to be an honor to their Alma Mater.

Page Thirty-six College Juniors Three years ago on the campus of Marion College roamed a group of individuals, away from home, among strangers, but who had courage to say “We’re Freshmen. We feel that we are attempting a great proposition but we know that we must run if we would win.” If from year to year there were more youths who possessed that kind of courage there would be more Juniors in the Colleges of the country. The verdure of those days lasted for a season but soon the chill of autumn painted with more grandeur the picture of a Freshman Class as it traveled on into the second season. Autumn lasted but for a time and now the snows of duty have bound us. We are not often heard and seldom are we seen but under the snowdrifts of duty still thrives that stalwart courage which possessed us when we first began. We are hoping, waiting, and watching for the day when the frigidness of winter shall be broken by the warmth of Seniordom. The snow banks shall fade away and at the termination cf that season we shall bloom into full dress suits of Caps and Gowns. We will admit that when gazing back over the three seasons through which we have passed we can scarcely see the beginning. But the amount of learning, knowledge and wisdom which has been our good fortune to acquire compared to the vast stretch of endless sea which lies ahead is an atom is to the universe. Thus we must advance. But to advance does not mean that we would disdain those whom we think of less achievement nor to cower to those whom we think of higher rank, but rather to work con¬ tinually for the dual advancement of ourselves and our fellowmen, for we know not who is the most advanced among us, but we have learned to say with the poet: Where lies the land to which the ship would go? Far, far ahead, is all her seamen know. And where the land she travels from? Away, Far, far behind, is all that they can say. On sunny noons upon the deck’s smooth face, Linked arm in arm, how pleasant here to pace; Or, o’er the stern reclining, watch below The foaming wake far winding as we go. On stormy nights when wild northwesters rave, How proud a thing to fight with wind and wave! The dripping sailor on the reeling mast Exults to bear, and scorns to wish it past. Where lies the land to which the ship would go? Far, far ahead, is all her seamen know. And where the land she travels from? Away, Far, far behind, is all that we can say. E. S. ’26.

Many friendships we’ve enjoyed While on Sophomore’s fast trip, And possessed the special honor Of the Seniors’ fellowship. Since last year our ranks have widened— Others came within our walls Who sought Christian education Here in Alma Mater’s halls. Sophomores are represented In the school’s activities— Chorus-Glee Club—Literaries And Debate societies. Now we pass the half-way milestone In our race toward the goal— Alphabet of life’s first letters— A and B, and a sheepskin roll. We’ve determined to be faithful To our motto’s sharp decrees That we may, ere our departure, Turn our hopes to certainties. May we always reflect honor While we’re here and when we part, To our dear old Alma Mater— Alma Mater of our heart. E. W. W. ’27.

Bigger, indeed, and better in many respects. E rly in the year the class was organized, and, under the direction of capable and competent officers, began doing things. About the first success of the Freshman class came on Harvest Day, when it eclipsed every other department of the school in the sale of Marionettes. With the coming of the basketball season came a new field of con¬ quest. In this field success came to the Frosh, who can boast several former high school stars, among them an all-state man. The Freshman class is well represented in practically every college activity. Members of this class are holding responsible positions on both the Journal and Marionette staffs. Freshmen are also found among the officers of the literary societies and the Y. M. W. B. Not only have the Freshmen been wide awake in the way of athletics and scholarship, but they have also been morally and spiritually alert. Traveling over the first mile of college life together, they have shown a splendid spirit of co-operation with one another as well as with the other departments of the school. While the Freshmen are looking forward to great things in the future, they are not forgetting to make the present worthwhile. Indeed, thy have not forgotten the words of Longfellow: Trust no Future, however pleasant! Let the dead Past bury its dead! Act,—act in the living Present! Heart within, and God o’erhead! Let us then, be up and doing, With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait. M. A.

Mr. Smith graduated from Marion College last year from the Bachelor of Theology Course. He continued his work in Marion College until the Holiday Sea¬ son, after which he went to the McCor¬ mick Seminary in Chicago to prepare for teaching in Marion College next year. We are expecting great things from Mr. Smith. MABEL SMITH Th. B. Miss Smith graduated from Marion College last year with her brother from the Th. B. Course. She has continued her work in Marion College this year and has well represented the Theological Department on the Marionette Staff as well as the other College activities. EDWARD E. CORY Th. B. Rev. Cory has likewise continued his work in Marion College this year after completing the Th. B. Course here last year Together with his school work he has been Pastor of the Ninth Street Weslyan Church in Marion. 19 2 5 Page Forty-five School of ' Fheology The same God is maker of both head and heart. Jesus said, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.” Both, then, are to be consecrated to God. While the heart is the seat of faith and love, it is by means of the intellect that we assimilate truth. i So vitally interconnected and interdependent are the two that neither can function properly without the other. God’s purpose in the intellect is that it is to grasp truth as a foundation for faith and love. If the intel¬ lectual phase is neglected, God’s purpose is defeated, and the result is a tottering super-structure of emotions—unstable because its foundation of truth is incomplete. The other extreme is equally perilous. It is impossible for the human mind to reason everything out scientifically. Great progress is being made in science, but every time a new fact is brought to light, we are conscious that beyond our reach is an entire field unknown to us. The temptation is to supplement the scanty established facts with unproved hypotheses: but “a chain is no stronger than its weakest link,” and the false links will not hold. Must we, therefore, always come short of God’s plan for us? The Infinite, in His goodness, has anticipated our need. He has set the Corner¬ stone, Jesus Christ, which is to give to our building location, direction and perpendicular. He has given us the blue-print, the Bible, to give dimension and the details of construction. He has given us the faculty of faith, which gives us assurance as we build accordingly. i The brightest of human intellects must admit that they are finite. With what, then, shall we build, when human resources are exhausted, unproved hypotheses? We choose faith in God, as revealed in His Word. We have consecrated our minds to God: therefore we feel it our duty to develop and train them, under His guidance, for the greatest efficiency in His service. We have consecrated our hearts to God; therefore we would keep them warm in faith and love. Here, both of these vital interests can be served simultaneously; and this is why we love and appreciate Marion College School of Theologv. T. T. S. ’24.

Page Fifty-one I Summer School During the year 1924, there was launched a Summer Term in the School of Theology. For several years there has been a growing demand for short Bible courses, to accommodate such as can not take the time to pursue regular courses. This demand also carried with it a request that such short courses be given at a time when pastors would find it most con¬ venient to be absent from their churches. Then, there are students who wish to supplement their regular courses with some summer work in the field of Bible Study. In addition to the courses given by the faculty, some of our connec- tional representatives gave specialized addresses on Sunday School work, and Home and Foreign Missions. The management was also fortunate in securing the services of Prof. Leander S. Keyser, D. D., of Hamma Divinity School, to give a series of lectures on Christian Evidences. The response shows that the course was appreciated. There were representatives from four states, and at least five denominations. The enrollment in the regular courses of study was twenty-five, while the lecture attendance ran as high as one hundred fifty. The Summer Theo¬ logical School is to be a permanent institution. The plans are made for 1925, with splendid prospects. T. T. S. ’24.

Indeed it can be said that the good teachers have been and will be in a large measure responsible for the dstiny of our bautiful republic. Miss Crozier once said to us, “Oh, to be able to appreciate that which is most noble and beautiful in life.” We, as future teachers are striving to implant in our own hearts and souls a true appreciation of that which is most noble and beautiful so that we may be able to create a like ap¬ preciation in the hearts and lives of our pupils. “We have crossed the bay, the ocean lies before us.” We are each a pilot on the sea of life striving to train ourselves so that we may guide our ships through this rough sea in such a way that others may follow our wake in safety. The Normal Department of Marion College under the leadership of Professor Jones is able to equip us to meet these standards. So it finds us here, a lively bunch of sixty taking part in the College activities with a keen zest. We have organized a good will be accomlished. ‘Better English Society” in which we hope much In beautifying the campus, the Normal students are more than co¬ operating. Since our fine new Gymnasium is completed, gymnastics and athletics are rapidly progressing. A great majority of the College stu¬ dents may be found in attendance in one or more of our classes. The teacher’s training and observation courses are being carried on with great success in the new McCulloch School Building. The course of study has been approved by the Department of Public Instruction, and we now feel that no better opportunities may be found anywhere for teacher training than in this Institution. Marion College is striving to make this College the best, and to provide efficient instruction for teachers who cannot be excelled. W. S. H. F.

Class Motto: “Climb, though the rocks be rugged” Class Flower: American Beauty Rose. As the Germans, before the World War, looked forward to “der tag” so we, the Seniors of ’25, have looked forward to this day of completion of our high school course. Our motto, “Climbing through the heights be rugged,” well bespeaks our short experience. Four years ago we entered high schools in different parts of the country under as many different conditions. The one cause, a search for a school with high standards, brought us together here at Marion College. Under these standards it has been comparatively easy for us to advance both intellectually and spiritually. We have realized in our College President a competent leader. His constructive leadership and kindly guidance will ever be remembered. Our Principal, who is also faculty advisor, has been of inestimable value to us both as an instructor in our school work and as a guide in our daily life. Our course here has so far seemed much too short and had it not been for our instructors above mentioned we would surely have failed. We realize that ahead of us lie great possibilities. We also know that these can only be realized through honest effort. As we toil upward we shall remember the words of the poet: “The heights of great men reached and kept, Were not attained by sudden flight. But they, while their companions slept, Were toiling upward to the heights.” With lasting gratitude to those who made our education in this school possible, we go forth trusting that we may help to bring about the end for which Marion College was founded.

These young men have had many opportunities to cheer and comfort the downhearted as well as to entertain those in the ranks of prosperity and health. They had the privilege of singing before the Farmers Institute, the people of the new First Methodist Church of the city as well as many others. Many trips have been made to other cities and communities in the interest of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. A great privilege was bestowed upon the quartet when they were in¬ vited to represent Marion College at the Civic Hall on Armistice Day as a part of the unique patriotic program which was given under the auspices of the Marion Ministerial Association in the interest of Peace. At this time there are plans under way for the quartet to accompany the President or his assistant on a tour for the summer months. The Quartet is composed of Marshall Rust Beard, Bruce DeGraw Car- roll, David Paul Huffman, and Asa William Merle Crossman. M H. B. ’28 Page Seventy-one aMustc Department Vocal Students The Art of Music Music is the art, which by means of musical sounds in rhythmic mo¬ tion, can convey feeling and emotional states and sentiments Song is the noblest, the most intimate, the most complete manner of self expression known to mankind, and self expression is the great thing for which man¬ kind is ever searching. As the power to express grows—so the ideals of higher life develop. Music takes rank as the highest of the fine arts—the one which ministers to human welfare It is an end to the achievement of that higher happiness which it shadows forth. As an accomplishment, the Art of Music is supreme, and should be cultivated for the great joy and influence that it represents in the home and community. The best of teachers were secured to carry on this work here. Miss Carroll, as Dean and vocal instructor comes from the South. Since being here, her prestige as a techers has been acknowledged as the best. Having won the confidence of every student, as a Christian young woman, she is an inspiration to all. As piano instructors, Prof. Cramer and Mrs. Wolf have more than fulfilled the expectations of their pupils. Their Page Seventy-two Music Department Piano Students joint success with this organization has acclaimed them as two of the leading pianists of the state. Private recitals are given once a month in which both piano and vocal students participate. These have proved to be a success, in that they help one to gain more confidence in himself. Music is an inspiration to anyone. It pays the possessor a thousand fold for every effort that has been lavished upon it and returns more than it cost. For this reason, the music department of Marion College was made possible—and is so conducted. A few words of Landor’s express briefly the Art of Music: Music is God’s best gift to man; The only Art of heaven given to earth: The only Art of earth we take to heaven. E. C. ’27 Page Seventy-three ;; THE MARIONETTE Expression ‘Department Private Expression Students The true aim of all education is to awaken one’s faculties—to make one a participant in life. Participation manifests itself through some form of expression. The human voice, associated with spontaneous actions of the body, furnishes one of the most adequate mediums for the inter¬ pretation of human motives. Training, for effective and intelligent delivery in address, is as vital and essential as training in the writng of one’s language. It is largely the spoken word that makes the appeal and draws forth the desired re¬ sponses. Marion College believes in the effectiveness of the spoken address. Therefore, a special department with numerous fine courses in expression, is one of the outstanding features in the College Fine Arts program. The department is growing steadily in numbers and in efficiency. Signal progress was made during the past year, shown in the many high class programs and recitals given. 19 2 5 Page Seventy-four Expression Department During the week preceding Christmas, Charles Dickens’ “Christmas Carol” featured among the best work done. In the Spring Quarter, the class in Debate gave a highly successful debate. The Foundations of Ex¬ pression Class appeared twice in studio recital. The class in Vocal and Literary Interpretation of the Bible gave a public program of Bible Read¬ ings in the College Chapel. The private expression students were well represented both in the Intercollegiate Peace Oratorical Contest, and in the Spring Reading Con¬ test of the Literary Organizations. Prospects for steady advancement in literary effort are good in Marion College, as her students aspire to achievements along these lines. Hence the Department of Expression shoudl continue to enlarge and to increase in efficiency. O. P. R. ’25. Page Seventy-five THE MARIONETTE Improvements Around M. C. There have been many good things come to Marion College in its years of ex¬ istence, but during no one year has it prospered and grown as in the school year of nineteen twenty-four and twenty-five. The medical Profession tells us that merriment, good company and cheerful surroundings aid digestion and this contributes to our physical welfare. These factors have been observed by the authorities in charge and in consideration of the welfare of the young life of the insti¬ tution, the dining hall has been made delightfully pleasant. The present attractiveness has been secured by doing away with the long tables and the substitution of the smaller, more home-like ones, together with the refinishing of the walls and woodwork. Further improvement to our school are found in the Chemistry De¬ partment. In the Inorganic Laboratory, we find new de sks and equipment, which have nearly doubled its ca¬ pacity, together with sev¬ eral coats of pure white enamel which has made a path for the sunlight. This adds to the joy of the science students and helps them to detect atoms from molecules. The former lec¬ ture room has been con¬ verted into an Organic Laboratory, with new and complete equipment, which has been so installed that it may be transferred to the New Science Hall which is now in prospect. Our Chemistry lecture room now occupies a new location ,having been moved just across the hall, thus making the entire first floor of the Administration Building devoted to scientific in¬ vestigation. It has been said that the way to a man’s heart is through his musical soul. Marion College offers a broad field in the way of music.

Many interesting and enlightening talks and discussions have resulted from some of these well prepared papers. It is the aim of the organization to arouse a greater interest in the subject of Chemistry. It is through this means that older students may keep in touch with the newer developments of this vast and growing subject. E. J.

EIDSATH Exchange Editor Page Eighty-two THE MARIONETTE The cMaiton College Journal The Journal Staff of 1924 endeavored to make the Marion College Journal one of the best papers among college publications. It was not the aim of the staff to make the Journal a pattern of other colleeg papers, which are usually composed of athletics, jokes, and advertisements, but they strove to publish material of the highest literary quality; material that invoked thought, material that reflected the high principles for which Marion College sands. They sought to make the Journal truly represen¬ tative of our college life. With the growth of Marion College, the Students Departments of the Journal has grown. During the past year several pages that were form¬ erly occupied by the faculty have been taken over by the students. Be¬ sides the increase in the number of pages a new department was added. This department—“Religious Activities”—gives the college constituency an insight into the spiritual life and religious activities of the institution. The desres of the administration are being realized, for the Journal is winning. It is becoming recognized as a college paper that is different; as one that gives its apges to material that is educational, inspiring, clean, and wholesome; and one that stands for the fundamental principles and doctrines of the church that supports it. This is evidenced by the fact that the President of the College has received many communications compli¬ menting him on his college publication. This should encourage the staff of 1925 to press onward and upward, thus making the Journal better than ever before. The student members of the staff are elected by the student body during January of each year. The staff for 1925 is: Editor-in-chief, Willis Smith; Literary Editor, Mildred Adams; Organization Editor, Rose Altic; News Editor, Harold Oyer; and Exchange Editor, Elmer Stewart. 19 2 5 Page Eighty-three r.

McAninch Page Eighty-five THE MARIONETTE Eureka Literary Club The Eureka Literary Club feels that the year 1924 ’25 has been the best year in her existence. She is the largest now she has ever been, both in quality and quantity. She does not make special drives for members but her merits are made known to many students before they enter the walls of Marion College, and they are anxious tobecome a part of this thriving wide-awake organization. The aim of this club is not to display the unusual talents of a few, but to develop each and every one of her members. The regular meetings of the club afford an education which cannot be secured in the classroom. It has truly been said that all things are not learned from text books. The programs are varied, consisting of scientific discussions, nature study, lives of great men, musical, and various other subjects which have as their end the development of poise and ease when appearing in public. One pleasing addition to the club this year was the organization of a Club Or¬ chestra, under the direction of Wilbur Leamon. This is the first orches¬ tra of its kind in the history of Marion College. The members are inspired to put forth their best efforts by the keen competition which is carried on between the Amphictyons and Eurekas. The Eurekans feel a special debt of gratitude to Mrs. McAninch, who, for the last two years, has been our efficient critic. Her constructive criticism has bee na valuable aid in directing all literary efforts toward a higher aim. The greatest value of literary clubs lies in the fact that they prepare one for greater possibilities of life after College. Already many members of this Club have gone out into the world, and are taking their places as leaders in the different professions. Long may the Eureka spirit live in Marion College! L. V.

During the past four years in the life of the Amphictyon Literary Society numerous achievements have been realized; but the Society launched upon its fifth year with a renewed purpose to attain a wider magnitude of liter¬ ary development than it reached in any previous year. This worthy pur¬ pose was supported by loyalty and true enthusiasm from the outset, cul¬ minating in an appreciable degree of success. The primary efforts encouraged by this Society must of necessity be directed along literary channels. The school year was begun with this thought in mind. During the late summer a committee arranged a pro¬ gram which proved a vital stimulating force when it was given during registration week of the fall quarter. This program afforded essential impetus for the maintenance of the traditional loft standards of the Society. One evidence of growth during the last year has been the broadening of the scope of literary activities. The Society has reached more deeply in the realms of musical art. Musical talent has been encouraged to an admirable proficiency. A piano-clarinet trio, made up of young men of the academy furnished a valuable feature. Perhaps the most prominent group is the ladies’ quartet which made itself famous on its initial appear¬ ance. This quartet proved and asset in many departments of the College and church, where the very best in musical skill was demanded. It is in the natural course of human nature to give outward expres¬ sion to inner emotions, thus, as individuals, in a live organization the members of the Amphictyon Literary Society manifested a practical ex¬ pression of their fidelity to the College of which they form a part and which alone made possible their entity. This expression is embodied in the beautiful arch which adorns the point of the campus. Although it is not colossal in its dimensions, it is a substantial evidence of the life and vigor of its donor.

PRYOR Treasurer Amidst the din of the world and the tumult of voices comes the call of Jesus. Time and again that persisting voice has called us to a life of Holiness, service and blessing; but far too often it has been ignored or rejected and only seldom obeyed. Today hundreds of voices are calling young people to pleasure, wealth, and popularity. A thousand legitimate avenues open up before the young who are starting out into life. The world bids high for men and women of superior ability, and many are attracted by its offers. Pressed by the daily routine, and constantly allured by the ever changing panorama of this age, we seldom take time to meditate and think seriously upon the great problems of life. Many rush into something which promises immediate wealth or pleasure without considering the consequences; and too often we are content to go through life without knowing God’s plan, like one groping in the dark hoping that all will end well. But the fact of the case is that a life spent out of the will of God does not end well. In every community there are those that testify that their lives are blighted because they failed to heed God’s voice—although Page Ninety-four THE MARIONETTE that voice came tenderly, it came with authority—God’s commands are not debatable; we must either obey or reap the results. Therefore realizing something of the seriousness of life and the value of a human soul, it is the purpose of the Y. M W. B. to present the staggering need on the mission fields so clearly that the stu¬ dents of Marion College will obey the call of God. The great commission to the church has never been repealed. And as we believe it is nearing the time for His return, it behooves us to be busy about our Master’s business—to warn men and women everywhere to flee from the wrath to come. During the year several missionaries have spoken. Beside the regular pub¬ lic meetings, informal meetings have MARY GREENE been held. There are a number of re¬ turned missionaries connected with the school who have shown their curios and given helpful talks. The obligations for the support of our faithful missionary, Mary Greene, and our Hindu boy, Edwin, have been fully met. The student body has given gladly in order that others may hear of the Gospel. ’Tis wonderful to know our sins are for¬ given, but it brings almost equal joy when we can help others through to God, but, “How shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach except they be sent?” EDWIN PAUL Page Ninety-five THE MARIONETTE Students’ Conference Christian Young People are not content to be idle, and the students of this Institution are no exception. This fact was demonstrated three years ago when they organized the Students Conference, that they might bet¬ ter advance God’s Kingdom. Mr. Rufus Reisdorph has efficiently pre¬ sided over this Conference since its origin. Deep spiritual interest and wisdom are his, and God has honored every phase of its distribution through the President of this organization. Under the auspices of the Conference, several fields have been en¬ tered during the past year. A prayer meeting was organized in one sec¬ tion of the city, which resulted in the conversion of several souls; the origin of a Sunday School, and a request for an established church. The Gospel Message was also proclaimed at the County Infirmary. Sunday after Sunday, Reverend Pitts and a company of students brought words of life and cheer to the inmates of this Institution. The manager expressed his appreciation for the services and added that the patients were more asily managed after the services were held. For three years services have been held in the Jail. Sheriff Ren- barger, with his generosity and hearty co-operation, has contributed much to the success of these meetings. During the past year, approximately one hundred and seventy-five men and women have, in these servics, heard of God’s remedy for sin. It was blessed to watch some of those hard, set countenances change when Jesus broke the chains that bound their souls. Some went to state institutions to serve long sentences, but even the dark future looked brighter after He had come into their hearts. Besides the above mentioned phases of her work, this organization has piloted the religious activities of the College. Weekly prayer meetings were held. These were owned and blest of God, and proved to be a dynamic force in the spiritual life of the Institution. Long will we remember these times when we sat together in Heavenly places and feasted on the good things of God. R. L. ’27. Page Ninety-six THE MARIONETTE Student Pastors “And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.” Jeremiah 3:15. Among the large group of Christian workers who are preparing at Marion College for life’s duties, there are many who feel the call to pastoral work. Several who have been doing service in this capacity for years are with us for further study, and at the same time are continuing in their ministry. A few other students have their first charges this year. Marion College has in all, eight student pastors. It is interesting to note that among this number, five denominations are represented: Methodist Pro¬ testant, Friends, United Brethern,, Nazarene, and Wesleyan Methodist. The names of the pastors are: Virgil V. Hammer, Boxley and Robert’s Chapel, Boxley, Indiana. Ralph Eastburn, Mount Olive, Tipton County, Indiana. H. Lloyd Lanahan, Methodist Protestant Church, Forest, Indiana. Edward E. Cory, West Eighth Street, Wesleyan Methodist Church, Marion, Indiana. Pascal P. Belew, Nazarene Church, Marion, Indiana. Vestal Van Matre, Fowlerton Church, Fowlerton, Indiana. W. E. Dye, Christie Street U. B., Marion, Indiana.

Last year the debaters were chosen by elimination in public tryouts, but in November of this year a regular Debate Club of twelve members was organized They were immediately put to work on the Intercollegiate question, and after many weeks of hard labor, Pro¬ fessor Bush, the Coach, chose the teams. The affirmative team was composed of Harold Oyer, Captain; Roy Zscheigner, Vaughn Curran, and Willis Smith, alternate. This team met the North Manchester negative team at Marion on March sixth. Although the judge gave the decision to Manchester, our men did good work and showed that they are keen, logical thinkers. This was the first year for these men in Intercollegiate debating, therefore, we are expecting good work from them next year. S. M. Eidsath, Captain; Josiah Roth, Rufus Reisdorph, with Everett Cattell as alternate made up the negative team. The three speakers of this team were on the teams last year, consequently we expected them to win. We were not disappointed, for on March thirteenth, this team, ac¬ companied by seventy students, went to Taylor University and defeated them. We all felt this was indeed a victory as Marion’s was the first team to defeat Taylor at home. The debate was not won by accident, but by good hard persistent work. The judge, Professor E. Fleming of Miami Uni¬ versity, Oxford, Ohio, complimented the team on their thorough knowledge of the subject and their excellent team work. The question for discussion was, “Resolved, That Indiana should adopt in principal the Wisconsin plan of Unemployment Insurance.” The affirmative team used as their main issue that of the employer taking care of the unnecessary unemployment within the industry. The negative team argued that the unemployment insurance plan was not adequate to take care of the unemployment situation as it affected only eleven per cent of the employed people in Indiana, since the plan does not apply to discharges and men who quit, it applies only to the class of unemployment who are involuntarily laid off, which condition is due generally to poor manage¬ ment. The debate work this year has encouraged the debaters and put Marion College on the map. The students are beginning to realize the great value of debating, and we predict great success for Marion College in this line in the future. L. V. ’25. Page Ninety-nine THE MARIONETTE To The Alumni CHRISTIAN EDUCATION IN PRACTICE Dear co-worker: There are facts and stubborn facts to be met. The world’s cry is, “God or evolution ?” Has the world and everything therein developed from the one cell in the process of time, or has it come from the creative hand of God? Philosophers once advocated a process of evo¬ lution, and they were termed heritics and banished from the Church and from society. When Hume learned that he was reckoned as a skeptic, he himself was alarmed and denied the fact. But they fill our modern pulpits, teach our children, and control most of our Colleges and Universities. Shall we have God as our Creator, or shall we believe the delusion of evo¬ lution ? The second great problem: Do we believe in a Divine Christ? Is Christ purely human, or is He human and Divine? The Jews teach that He was an imposter. The Catholics hold that He was a Savior, but Mary was very near his equal. Heathens think He was a prophet like their own. The modernists say He was an extraordinary human being, and a good man. Either Christ was who He said He was, or He was the greatest im¬ poster the world ever knew. His influence upon the lives of men testifies to His Divine nature in an unmistakable manner. Has ever any other per¬ son set such waves of influence into motion? Is the Bible the inspired word of God or is it man-made, is the third great problem: “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in right¬ eousness.” Perhaps doubt in the inspiration of the Bible is the first step that man takes to break his faith in God. A man hardly becomes a criminal at once. He comes to it by degrees. So does the man become a disbeliever. He finds it convenient to leave out a part of the inspired Word of God, thence some of the Biblical stories, on he continues until his faith has become a shipwreck. Marion College has been planted to indoctrinate and Christianize our young people and save them for the Church, the State, and the Country. We have representatives in practically every field, and they are continuing to leave us yearly to represent the RED and BLACK. Let us think. Let us consider. Does Christian Education pay? EDWARD E. CORY, President Alumni Association. 19 2 5 Page One Hundred The Alumni of Marion Normal Institute Since Marion College was opened in 1920 under the present con¬ stituency, not a more noteable festal occasion has been celebrated than took place August 7, 1924. On that day, more than six hundred men and women, formerly students of Marion Normal Institute, assembled at the College in a long-planned Home-coming. They came from the East and from the West; from the North and from the South, anticipating an unusual event. August 7 was an ideal day. At eight o’clock scores of the Alumni, representing the graduates from the years 1890 to 1918, poured in upon the scenes of festivities. These worthy people, many of whom are dis¬ tinguished in prominent positions, rallied to the occasion with all the ardor of previous school days. It was a glad occasion, and one, not the least pleased, was Professor A. Jones, who is still the head of the Normal School of Marion College. The morning was spent in renewing old acquaintances; at noon a bountiful basket dinner was served on the Campus. In both the afternoon and evening well prepared programs were given. The Alumni Association, of the Marion Normal Institute, which does not now exist, called a business meeting, in which they expressed their sympathies and good-will for the young Institution which has replaced the former school. They expressed a desire to assist in practical ways in the forwarding of the work of Marion College. Thus, at this meeting, a reso¬ lution was drawn up and approved by that Association, in which appli¬ cation was made for membership in the present Alumni Association of Marion College; for as they said, “They would rather be adopted children than to have no mother at all.” The resolution was presented to the Local Executive Board of Marion College which heartily approved it. It is anticipated that it will receive a unanimous acceptance at the business meeting of 1925, thereby wel¬ coming these our Senior predecessors as co-laborers in the development and upbuilding of our beloved Alma Mater. 0.

In the con¬ struction of the gymnasium many of the young men and women of the school gave of their means and at all times co-operation. The interest of this project reached far beyond the walls of the institution, many friends of the school also contributed of their time and their money that the students could spend their spare hours in an enjoyable and profitable way. The constituency of Marion College realizes the undesirable element in athletics and the students have recognized the same. It was felt, how¬ ever, that a place should be provided for a good and wholesome play life where the students could work off their surplus energy and build up their physical bodies. Many of the faculty members discussed the matter among themselves. Finally one morning in chapel, President Leedy presented the need and took an expression of the student body. This expression was unanimously in favor of a gymnasium and was expressed by pledges from students and faculty amounting to over a thousand dollars. With this manifestation of interest the promoters were encouraged. A committee was elected with Prof. Bush as chairman. This committee was composed of Dr. Huffman, Harold Sloan, Wilmer Reist, Paul Freeze, Ruth Wright, Pearl Reist, Mar¬ shall Beard, Josiah Roth, Charles DeVol, Wilma Rigsbee, and Murray Thompson. The committee did not remain idle long for they could not with Prof. Bush as their leader, but began immediately to make plans. We cannot place too much credit upon the chairman of this com¬ mittee, for without his knowledge of the athletic needs of the school, his 19 2 5 One Hundred Nine How WeGotOur Gymnasium -Auditorium (CONTINUED) wonderful leadership, and his many constructive ideas, it would be im¬ possible to point to the structure that now stands on the campus. Prof. Bush gave freely and whole-heartedly of his time and energy. Fortunately there was in the school another man who had had ex¬ perience in the various phases of construction work. This was Paul Freeze, who drew the original plans of this structure. The first consider¬ ations were for a wood structure, but finally the giant brix were decided on as they formed a stronger and a more permanent building. Through all of the planning and construction, Prof. Bush and his committee worked faithfully. In the fall of nineteen hundred and twenty-three the foundation was laid. The winter weather hindered any further progress. When spring weather came many eager workers shifted the three car loads of brix to the grounds. Here again friends aided the students in their work, Leonard Thomas and 0. S. Warner furnished the trucks for hauling the bricks from the car. In the actual construction, the boys helped the brick masons by mixing mortor and concrete and keeping plenty of brick on the scaffold. Mr. Klein and Mr. Horace Williams had charge of the construction of the five large trusses which were ready by the time the brix had been laid. The trusses once placed the building was literally covered with boys nail¬ ing rafters and sheeting. The gymnasium was enclosed before commence¬ ment week but the hard wood floor was not layed until early fall. When the students returned this fall they readily raised money to help bring the structure to its present state. The building is fifty by ninety feet. The gymnasium contains a basket ball and volley ball court. The platform extending sixteen feet from the east wall and four feet above the main floor makes it easy to convert the gymnasium into an auditorium. The auditorium when seated with chairs will hold approximately a thousand people. The basement under the platform will be equipped with hot and cold showers and will be used as dressing rooms. The school manifests a spirit of appreciation to all who have made the Gymnasium-Auditorium possible. Page One Hundred Ten THE MARIONETTE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION HAROLD B. OYER President DORIS I. KING Sec’y-Treas. PAUL C. MITCHELL Property Mgr. ELMER STEWART Vice-President WILLIS SMITH Schedule Mgr. The Athletic Association of Marion College is composed of all the stu¬ dents and faculty. The new officers of the Association began their work last fall by taking charge of the new tennis courts erected under the direction of Paul Huffman. There are four regulation courts enclosed with wire netting stretched on a heavy iron-pipe frame, and located just north of the Men’s Dormitory. They were put in suitable shape for use late in the season and will be finally leveled when weather permits. They were almost constantly in use and furnished a great deal of healthful exercise for the students. With the completion of the new gymnasium, physical training classes for men and women were begun. The building is also open at stated hours for individual exercise. The Association has had charge of all activities outside of regular class work here, and has set a high standard. The officers have started the work in our new building in fine style, and it is a credit to our school. The Association is planning to construct a baseball diamond and cinder track in the near future on the lots east of Wigger Street. Marion College has taken a traditional stand against intercollegiate athletic contests which are admittedly bringing large institutions into serious difficulties. The Athletic Association in all its rulings has en¬ deavored to keep athletics in their proper although important place, and to give healthful recreation to all the students. E. L. C. ’27. Page One Hundred Eleven THE MARIONETTE ATHLETICS Men ' s Gymnasium Classes THE GYMNASIUM Athletics in Marion College have been conducted solely with the pur¬ pose of providing the greatest amount of benefit for the students. Every¬ one has the opportunity of engaging in some form of athletics or gym¬ nasium work. The new gymnasium which was dedicated in the winter adequately provides for a suitable place in which to exercise and play. The enthusiasm with which the students and faculty entered into the play life and work of the gymnasium indicated that the purpose of having athletics and physical education will be met by this new building. Mrs. Leedy and Mr. Mitchell have been conducting physical training classes for the girls and boys respectively. Credits in physical education are one of the requirements of all normal students as well as the freshmen and sophomore College students. Thus the new gymnasium is offering, through its adequate facilities, splendid training in physical education. BASKETBALL Among the chief interests of the indoor games is found that of basket¬ ball. Marion College has taken a firm stand against intercollegiate ath¬ letics, and in this has the strong support of the student body, for they are also well aware that they are in Marion for the business of securing an education. 19 2 5 Page One Hundred Twelve THE MARIONETTE Men in Action While in the field of basketball the majority of interclass activities have occured, this will not be true much longer. The Volley Ball equipment is now in action, the hand-ball courts are under way and the other indoor equipment will be ready by another year. Since we were forced to confine our interclass games to basketball as it was our first year HHMBHlli Page One Hundred Thirteen Women’s Gymnasium Classes in our new Gymnasium, we are giving the games and scores of the same as they were played: 1.

Their strength was augmented by several former high school stars and it is largely due to the performance of these players that the Freshmen owe their victories. The Normal team is also to be commended for their work on the hardwood court. The Normals had to extend themselves to the limit to win from the Freshmen. The Acad¬ emy team though a light weight team often played rings around their 19 2 5 Page One Hundred Fifteen THE MARIONETTE college competitors. The other teams even though handicapped by a lack of material, did not give up the ship, but played hard until the last whistle. Taking all things into consideration this first year of organized basketball cannot be said to be a failure, but rather a success. TENNIS. At the beginning of the fall quarter four new tennis courts were com¬ pleted, that is to the extent to where they could be used. The finishing touches on these courts were completed early in the spring quarter. Marion College can now boast of having four of the best tennis courts in the City of Marion. In order to promulgate a keener interest in tennis the Athletic As¬ sociation conducted a tennis tournament. Many of the tennis adherents in school have signified their intention to enter the tournament. How¬ ever, the winner cannot be announced as the Marionette went to press be¬ fore the finals were played. BASEBALL The large field immediately back of the gymnasium offered a splendid opportunity to construct a baseball diamond. Early in the spring while the ground was still soft a road scraper was secured to level the field. Help was volunteered by students to make the diamond, and soon a fine baseball field was constructed. A spirit of rivalry sprang up between the College students and the Normal students. Even before the diamond was completed, plans were under way for a series of games between the College and the Normal de¬ partment. Again we have to say that we are sorry that we cannot an¬ nounce the results, of the games as the Marionette went to press before they were played ? It happens with the best regulated coupes’’ BBWW 19 2 5 Page One Hundred Sixteen Contributors We, the 1925 Marionette Staff, wish to publi cly thank all who have help¬ ed us.in any way to make whatever sucess has come to this year book.

(Cont. from Page 76) friends of the school have realized the necessity of pleasant surroundings and have very graciously given fifty dollars for the redecoration of the studio, which work will be completed in the near future. While we have a fine grand piano in the Chapel we have in propect a newer and finer in¬ strument. The “old grand piano” which now stands in the left hand corner of our chapel has rung out our favorite hymns, anthems and songs for a number of years, but as in life, it has served its time and a new one will have to take its place, while it will take new quarters in the Gymnasium Auditorium. Marion College has, as we all believe, a splendid faculty. We have one member of this faculty who has been more than an enthusiastic worker for the higher and better things for Marion College and the community, and one who is loved and honored by all who have been associated with him in anyway. In his honor the new South Marion Park will be named. It is located at Thirty-eighth and Washington Streets, now occupied in the center by the “Old College” building, used in recent years by the City of Marion for a grade school until the completion of the new McCulloch build¬ ing. This will be called the A. JONES PARK for the one who planted the trees there, that stand a living tribute to his labors. i Pleasant and beautiful surroundings not only add to the beauty of the grounds but also to the health and happiness of the community. The Marion College Gymnasium has a beautiful new arch way which admits both old and young to our spacious new gymnasium. It is seventeen feet in width and is constructed of the same material as the building itself. From afar off one can read across the top of it, the words “Marion College Gymnasium.” Under the roof is one large lantern and adorning each post is a hexagonal lantern. This very beautiful structure was very graceously and thoughtfully given by the Eureka Literary Club. M. H. B. ’28. Page One Hundred Eighteen THE MARIONETTE 15th and 16th—Registration.
