TOBIAS, Photographer KOKOMO, INDIANA Page Four Faith of Our Fathers VNCE more has the Faith of Our Fathers been popularly set aside while an innovation in Christian philosophy is being tested. But a historical per¬ spective immediately sets the thinker at ease, for such movements have occurred before. Obviously the needs of mankind are such as to ultimately demand the Old Faith again for their relief. Modernism must submit along with every other form of thought to the withering tests of laboratory methods. In fact this has already been done and the acid test of results in social and private life—-namely transformation of the individual has proved it a failure. The historical method, applied from the time of Saul of Tarsus to that of Jerry McCauley makes the true scientist exclaim, “I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation.” Marion College makes no apology for her stand on the Fundamentals for her leaders have seen that after the subtleties of debate have cleared away the final test of results is making the issue clear. Hence we have chosen as the theme for the 1927 Marionette, “The Faith of Our Fathers.” The art work bears a ' suggestion of the Roman life in which Christianity had its beginning. Its significance lies in the fact that the years have only added decay to the glory of Rome while the faith of those early Christians breaks more and more into a holy splendour. The division pages carry drawings which portray outstanding heroes of faith in their days of testing. We send forth this volume trusting that from the halls whose life it reflects may, come new heroes whose faith in these days of storm shall bless the world. —Editor. Page Five To Jasper Abraham Huffman, D.D., for whose defense of the faith by inspired ministry, reverent scholarship , constructive teaching, and humble Christian character, we gratefully dedicate this fifth volume of “The Marionette.” Page Seven There is a door that leads To life of dreams come true. It is the door of Knowledge ' Where none went idly through. Page Eight Mellow tinted days are here, Wistful autumn of the year, Tho campus splendor fades and falls Glory lingers in thy Halls. Page Nine Ancient Cedars guard — Midnight taper gleams Noble minds are diligent To realize their dreams. Page Ten Where we are honest masters In the athletic strife. And learn the honest triumph In the great competing life. Page Eleven As white glory of the morning Covers earth and splendors all So did friendship and our frolic Crown the life at Teter Hall. Page Twelve Could Marion College be forgot The campus days, the fun, Toilsome hours that triumph bro’t? No, not a single one! Page Thirteen Alma Mater long we cherish Thy noble halls of knowledge May God breath tenderly and long His blessing to our College.

Page Fifteen President’s Message Mr. Editor: I appreciate the opportunity offered me to again bring a message to the students and friends of Marion College through the pages of the Marionette. May I first congratulate you and your staff, Mr. Editor, on what I have already seen as evidence of a splendid Annual for 1927. Progress is the slogan of the day. We have passed the time when we are satisfied with the achievements of yesterday: nor do we give the achievements of today much more than a passing glance, as we hurry on to get the “newest model’’ or the next discovery. Before this juggernaut of Progress nothing is sacred. Everything must pass examination and if it does not bring us a “thrill,’’ or prove “fast” enough, it is quickly consigned to the scrap heap. Many of the time honored customs and beliefs have lost their hold upon the modern world. Everything must be “modern.” If we furnish our homes with “antiques” it is a modern notion. We have modern science, modern education, modern so¬ ciety, modern religion and modern politics—except the tariff. Might it not be well for us to step asidd for a moment and watch ourselves go by and determine, if possible, in what direction our progress is leading us. There is no question that in material things our progress has been as com¬ mendable as it has been rapid. The discoveries in medicine and surgery have greatly alleviated human suffering; by the invention of machines for manufac¬ ture and rapid transportation the comforts and even the luxuries of life have been brought within the reach of the masses; the music and the oratory of the nation, if not of the world, has been brought to our own parlors by the phono¬ graph and radio. Educational advantages are now within the reach of every young person who really wants an education. Surely, here, progress has been in the right direction. But progress in but one direction is not true progress. Genuine progress will not minister alone to man’s material needs; nor will it suffice to add only the intellect. “Man cannot live by bread alone,” and true progress will take man God-ward. No nation can long survive that forg ets God. And there is danger that in our progress, in our seeking after the “newest model” or the latest improvements in machinery or business efficiency, that we will neglect those principles and forces which, although “old fashioned,” have produced and nourished the spiritual life of our people. Every advance from savagery and superstition has been by the education of the people of the tribe or nation; and every decline from civilization to na¬ tional debauchery and ruin has been by our over emphasis of the intellectual and sensual to the neglect of the spiritual. May God grant our nation institutions which are well balanced and sane; giving to both the intellectual and the spirit¬ ual their proper place, remembering that “Righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.” Page Sixteen PRESIDENT JOHN W.

Twilight dnd evening After the day — The blush of the roses Has faded awayl The petals lie scattered No longer the bloom —- But sweet is the fragrance Still haunting the room. The petals of friendship May scatter some day. But the fragrance of memory Lives with us alway. —Ruth Moshier Page Thirty-eight As Seniors Retrospect Four long years spent at Marion College Four long years that we might better be Four long years in pursuit of more knowledge Four long years for this bachelor degree. Four brief years in our memories crowded Four good years that we Seniors review Years by immortal days builded Years that we now bid adieu. Oh the friendships we formed in those schooldays Golden friendships we bought with a smile They are friendships that stay with us always They are friendships that make life worthwhile Priceless friendships worth far more than riches Cherished friendships we smiled to acquire Friendships that brighten life’s niches Friendships that ever inspire. Many lessons those friendships have taught us Many lessons we’ve learned while in class But the lessons these four years have brought us Only lessen the ultimate mass Of the lessons experience will teach us Of the lessons life constantly sends Lessons not closed with commencement Lessons that never shall end. May success mark those lessons with pleasure As success has marked those of the past Maiy success come to all without measure May success continue to last. By success, we our college shall honor Her success may we constantly see Success to our dear Alma Mater! Success in its utmost degree. •Eugene Wilson ’27.

Well sir, they sure do be about the snortinist bunch I ever seen. My son Cal, he’s a member of it and I went up to see him the other day. There’s about thirty or thirty-five of them there fellers and girls running around and you never seen a classier lookin ' bunch o’ young folks in your life. The boys look like any one of them could put in his lick with any other feller you could run out and those girls—say you just never saw prettier, sweeter, nicer girls in your life! Actually, they’s every bit as nice as any of the girls was when you and me was young. “And they sure are doing their share of the work around the Col¬ lege too. T he Journal Staff—them’s the folks that write the College paper—is almost all Juniors. Even the Editor-in-Chief, I guess they call it. Anyway the boss of the paper is a College Junior. Then they’ve got the hottest bunch of young preachers in that there class that you ever heard in your life, and half the College Quartet is Juniors. And you can just bet that when anything is to be started around the College and they want somebody to do it, they don’t wait long before they call on the Junior Class to do it. ‘And those folks is smart, too. They sure study and they show it. Why, man, any one of them kids could talk circles around you and I. You tell me it don’t pay to get a College education? Say, if you want to forget that idea forever you just go up there and take a look at that there bunch at Marion who calls themselves the Class of ’28.’’ —Wallace Calhoon ' 28. Page Forty-six Page Forty-seven Sophomores TN SEPTEMBER, 1925, a group of green-looking (not just “looking” either) strangers sought admission to these portals of higher learning. They were the Freshmen of Marion College. Under the careful guidance of the Juniors they were organized and prepared for action. Later, they shared together weiner roasts, parties and friendly social gatherings. In their ranks are found members holding responsible positions on the Journal and Marionette Staffs—the Business Manager of the annual belonging to the Class of ’29. They also furnish officers for the literary societies. Students Conference, Y. M. W. B., members for the Debating Club, and are active in the athletics of Marion College. They boast of talents in music and expression, giving the second alto to the ladies ' quartet, and the first tenor to the male quartet, who have done much in advertising the school of our choice. At commencement time last June, Ar¬ thur Calhoon, class president, won first place in the inter-society oratorical con¬ test, receiving the prize of twenty-five dollars in gold; and Adeline Mart was awarded first prize in the inter-society reading contest, which was fifteen dollars in gold. Along with the honors and good times, they have had some good hard work and have enjoyed working together, too. They are broadening their in¬ tellects, the value of which is rec ognized by all, and are making lasting friend¬ ships, and who can estimate the worth of friends. They are enriching their souls by spiritual benefits and experiences received in Marion College the value of which eternity alone can reveal. This is the Class of ’29. As we come to the end of our Sophomore year, we realize that we have passed the half-way milestone in this race toward the coveted goal, and we look forward to the richer experiences, the greater battles, and the more glorious vic¬ tories of the tomorrows awaiting us. “Not enjoyment, and not sorrow, Is our destined end or way; But to act, that each tomorrow Finds us farther than today.” —Elctha Whitehead ' 29.

The close of the first term found this zeal for accomplishment on the decline. However, the Freshman spirit of enthusiasm has manifested itself in all the religious, social and athletic activities of the school throughout the year. Being non-partisan and unbiased, the class distributed its literary inter¬ ests evenly among the three Literary Societies, and has contributed much to the enlargement and development of school literary interests. The Freshman Class, as is expected of all students of Marion College, con¬ formed to the high religious standards of the school and have in some measure contributed to the spiritual life of the school. Athletics were not neglected by the class, as is shown by the standing of their basket ball team. Several members of the class hold positions on the Marionette Staff and Journal Staff, while others have the distinction of officiating in various other capacities of responsibility. Many kind suggestions, much advice, and considerable criticism was ob¬ tained by the Freshmen from upper classmen in an effort to mould their tender characters into such models of educational production as are possessed by their superiors. By virtue of such action the Sophomores in 28 will no doubt be well qualified to uphold the standards of their predecessors. —S. Lambert Huffman ’30. President . Vice-Preident Secretary .

The school year of 1926-27 is no exception to this. Registrations since the opening of the school year number 41. Though this is not a large number, it compares very favorably with theological seminaries which are much older. In fact, they are theological seminaries which boast of their 50 and even 100 years, in which not as many students are enrolled as there are at present in Marion College School of Theology. Growth is not always limited to numbers. The raising of standards of work, and the gradual measuring up of the student body to these higher stand¬ ards, registers progress in the direction of quality. Marion College School of T heology is not indifferent to numbers, or quantity, but is vitally concerned relative to the quality of work which is offered and to the standards of scholar¬ ship maintained by her students. The school of 1926-27 has witnessed an increase of upper classmen, bringing the average of the student body a little higher than usual. It is the purpose of the Institution to overlook no need of its constituency. The two and the four year Bible courses, without prerequisites, are intended for such as desire to pursue work of this character. These courses furnish equipment equal to that which can be obtained in the best Bible Schools of the land. The Bachelor of Theology course is a combination of such college subjects as are ab¬ solutely indispensible to Christian workers, and such Biblical and theological subjects as are necessary for equipment for Christian service. It is a splendid course for those who cannot complete a regular college course and then take theological training beside. The Bachelor of Divinity Course, which presup¬ poses college graduation, is ideal, and furnishes the very best of equipment. Emphasis is placed not only upon the theoretical, but upon the spiritual, as well. The School of T heology seeks to train young people for Christian work in such a way that soul passion will be increased. The heart must keep pace with the head during the process of training, if young people are to go out into the Christian ministry with both fire and fuel. Practical work also receives encouragement in the School of Theology. A goodly number of our students are engaged in active Christian work, serv¬ ing as student pastors to accessible churches. Others are engaged in conducting jail meetings, assisting in evangelistic services, Sunday Schools, etc. Several Gospel Teams have been active during the year. A large number of graduates have gone out to preach the Gospel in the homeland, and to carry it to the regions beyond. The Class of ’27 will go out to join this number, to preach Christ to a needy world, and to reflect credit up¬ on their Alma Mater. J. A. Huffman, D.D., Dean of Theology.

This year he received Ma¬ rion ' s highest award—the B.D. degree. As President of the Student Conference for three years, as a varsity debater for three years and in a host of other activities he has proven to be one of Marion’s most popular and capable students. P. R. LANGE. A.B. With an A.B. from Tabor College, Mr. Lange came to Marion last year to commence graduate work. His splendid Christian character and his fine scholarship, added to his able preaching, have brought pastoral demands upon him that un¬ fortunately have required him to leave school the last term and thus delayed the conferring of his B.D.

Ruby Levans r J ' ' HE School of Theology is organized as a unit with the above officers serving for this year. However as separate classes the Th.B. students join in the regular College Class organization. This leads to a very ideal situation in which the young ministers and laymen to be, are not separated by a pronounced line of cleavage but are brought together in intimate daily association. So complete is the unity of the two groups that during the past year Th.B. men have served as presidents of two of the College classes. Page Sixty A Sermon To Preachers I am greatly disappointed with some preachers of today With their logic and their ethics; their aristocratic wan: With their science and their theories and their new Theology, Full of everything but Jesus and His love for you and me. There is plenty in the Bible for the preachers of today, If they will but search its pages and for help divine would pray; For God ' s Word is everlasting and it never will grow old — Tis indeed a priceless treasure—far more precious e ' en than gold. What we want is consecration in a good true man of God, With a Bible education and a love for God ' s dear Word; Who can lead us and direct us to the truth, the life, the way, Which brings peace to soul and body through the burdens of the day. If the preachers in our churches would preach Jesus crucified, How through love for us He suffered, and through love for us, He died, Then our pews would not be empty, as so many are today, But be filled to overflowing, in a penticostal way, What we need is just plain Gospel, in the good old-fashioned way, Place of Emerson or Shakespeare, or some topic of the day. What care we for all their sayings, or their teachings true and tried? We want just the-dear old story of the Saviour crucified, That alone can make men better, that alone can make men free — Just the precious, dear old story, of God’s love for you and me; That is what the people want; there is where the crowd will be; Where they hear the same old stony, which they heard at mother’s knee. —Luetta Cummins.

Secretary-T reasurer Staff Representative Pauline Powell Garnett Kesler Mary K. Fagan Martha A. Herzog Page Seventy-three The Normal Department I T IS a great thing to live, any time, anywhere, to feel the thrill of being, of consciousness, of thought, of responsibility. The greatness of life, with its joys and sorrows, its duties and responsibilities, its opportunities and achieve¬ ments increases as one grows in ability to think, to understand, to appreciate, to do the things that count for good and the universal well-being of one’s self and his fellow men. There never was a time when thinking was more essential than now. Without thinking, there can be no understanding, no progress, no appreciation of life, its wonders, beauties and meaning. The Creator has placed us in a mar¬ velously interesting world, a great laboratory that challenges every one to think if he would understand and appreciate and become able to help carry out the great plan for the development of men. The achievements of this age are marvelous, beyond comprehension. To carry on the business of the world in commerce, mechanics, science, religion and government requires millions of men and women who are educated, who have the ability to think and do. Those who are now carrying on the great business of the world will soon have finished their work and millions of new recruits must be ready to take their places and not only be able to carry on the great work of the present, but push forward to new and higher ideals in every field of legitimate endeavor. The institution whose purpose is to promote education is the school. The higher its efficiency, the higher will be the level of intelligence of those who re¬ ceive its benefits, and the more secure our institutions that promote the best in¬ terests of humanity. The greatest force in any school is the teacher. It is the teacher who plans the work, directs and inspires the learner. The ideals of the school do not reach beyond the ideals of the teacher. These conditions demand that the teacher should be thoroughly trained for her profession. She should represent the highest type morally and spiritually, because her life is the model for and in¬ spiration to those whom she teaches, and who look to her as a leader. The teacher should understand child life in order that she may direct it without loss of time and energy. She should understand thoroughly the subject matter that she teaches in order that the child may be interested and enter enthusiastical¬ ly into the work of the school. It is the purpose of this department to bring to those who are preparing to teach either in the elementary grades or the high school such academic and pro¬ fessional training as will prepare them to teach in the respective departments they have chosen with the assurance of a reasonable degree of success. —A. Jones, Dean of Education.

Indiana IDA OLIVE HEAL Marion, Indiana Amphictyon Page Seventy-eight The Academy Seniors ' ' HEN one has spent four years of his life in secondary education, he looks back over that period with a degree of satisfaction to know that those years of study may be to him the pillars of his future education. Thus we, the Seniors, look back over our Academy course and regard it as a source of power. We feel that a strong foundation has been laid while here. First, the edu¬ cational standards are high, and in striving to maintain those standards, we have made good preparation for a college course. Numerous problems, which were only miniature duplications of future problems, were met and settled. A new realization of the great store of knowledge to be mined is ours also. Surely our intellectual vision has been broadened. Another factor in the laying of our foundation has been the spiritual life of the school. This factor is so often lacking in a public high school, that we are especially fortunate and wish to express deep appreciation to those who made and carried out the plan of an Academy in Marion .College. It is our purpose to ever keep our motto, The truest end of life is to know’the life that never ends, before us and make it a reality. With this two-fold foundation that has been laid here, possibilities for the future seem limitless. A knowledge of how to study and to solve problems will be of untold benefit in a college course. The religious encouragement re¬ ceived will always remain a stronghold in the future. In fact, in any phase of life, a high school education is invaluable. The challenge is ours; the future lies before us ready to be moulded. —Helen Pitts ’27 Page Seventy-nine Academy Juniors JAMES E. KRAUSE Newport News.

Page Eighty-one Marion College Academy E DUCATION in America barks back to the Puritans and the Pilgrims for its origin. The church believed that learning and salvation were closely akin, and both essential to man’s best success. The Bible, with its high moral stan¬ dards, was honored and obeyed in the educational system of the day. Then as time went on, the church, represented by many denominations, established what were known as academies or preparatory schools for the youth of the churches. The public school system, such as we know it today, was practically unknown. With the perfecting of the present public school system, and consequently the many other secular advancements, the church has discovered a stronger em¬ phasis placed on the training of the intellect than upon the teaching of the soul. Because of some of these existing conditions, the church is taking steps to effect a substitute for the secondary public schools by instituting a system of equally high scholastic standards in maintaining academies in connection with her col¬ leges and seminaries. Because the constituency of Marion College desired to offer educational ad¬ vantages of a Christian school to both their children of high school age and to their educationally retarded young men and women; and because they believe souls to be worth more than gold and earthly gain, they have, at a great sacri¬ fice and expense continued to maintain the Academy of Marion College. Marion College Academy offers the same scholastic privileges as any of the public high schools in Indiana, as it complies with the requirements made by the State Board of Public Instruction. The young man or woman who avails himself or herself of the advantage offered in the Academy here, enjoys an additional benefit in the daily associations with the College and its higher learning. This contact tends to cultivate a sense of the vastness of still higher intellectual possibilities. As a result, a large ma¬ jority of those who are graduated from the Academy return to take up the Col¬ lege course. The students in Marion College Academy are second to none in character, school spirit, and in scholastic attainments. They are genuinely loyal, and are appreciably active in all of the extra-curricular activities of the institution. The Academy students of this year are of unusual mental and moral caliber. Among many other interesting traits of our students, we appreciate the youthful charm and attractiveness which is added to our school life. The cheerful inspiration which radiates throughout their young lives is indeed a credit to the standards of their revered Alma Mater. —O. Pearl Reist ’25.

EScKSCSXSi Page Eighty-four Voice and Piano Students Page Eighty-five Music N ATURAL music gives expression to the sublimest emotions of the soul. It offers rich and full interpretation of the stirring events of all life. It arouses a sympathy and understanding that the hardest heart is not proof against. It drives pleasantly away, cares or distress. It arouses the insuppressible passions of love and hate. It prods ambition. It stirs to action. It lifts the soul to worship. It binds together into unity of feeling the hearts of thousands. It is versatile to the degree that it can be given a form to fit every emotional exper¬ ience of the soul. Music is not merely rhythmatic sounds; it is yet more the expression of spiritual experiences. In Spohr’s words it may be poetically described as the “consecration of sound.’’ Schopenhauer more definitely says that it is the “quintessence of life and events without likeness to any of them.’’ Henslick affirms that “music embodies the general figures and dynamic element of occur- ance, carrying our feelings with it.” Schopenhauer is accurate as well as eloquent when he writes again, “Of all the arts, music mo st universally and most many- sidedly portrays the very essence of the will, the very soul of passion, the very heart of this capricious world-making and incomprehensible inner nature of ours.’’ Musical education has not long been provided in any public or universal way. No place was given to its practical study in the schools of a few decades ago. Musical genius sprang up spontaneously with only the inborn attribute as motive power. The public appreciation or capacity for enjoyment was not given enlargement through the administration of pure and simple music studied by the colleges of the land. Now, a new stage in the career of musical education has been entered, which has reformed its methods, elevated its purpose, and broadened its scope. The trend of musical education is not now so much to train players, singers or com¬ posers (though such purposes are recognized), as to facilitate the understanding of those outside its ranks. To cultivate the tastes, appreciation, and support of the people has now given musical education its new importance. Thus, not only music for vocational values: but also, and more emphatically, music for its aesthetic value. It seems wise tq train listeners for trained players. Marion College is very proud of her Music Department. Real artists are enrolled in its ranks. Singers and players are learning to sing and play with their very best talents and to sing and play with their hearts. More love, and understanding, and hunger for music as food for the soul and ointment for griefs, is being firmly inculcated in the life of every one of its many members. Souls are being expanded, hearts quickened, and a living faith established. —Deraid W. Howlett ' 28. Page Eighty-six College Quartettes Male Arthur Calhoon . John Leedy, Jr. Wallace Calhoon ....

So attractive was this number, that it was necessary to hold the recital in the large auditorium of the First Methodist Church of the city, in order to accommodate the audience. Mr. Rodeheaver’s fame as a soloist and song leader is well known through his work in the “Billy Sunday Party,” and his records which belt the world. This high type of music interspersed with readings and talks from his rich store of experiences, captivated the audience. The program included a group of solos and numbers on the trombone. Miss Tripp sang “O Rest in the Lord” from Hayden’s Elijah. Mr. Rodeheaver also sang a group of negro spirituals, “Songs of the Sawdust Trail,” as well as several request numbers. Dr. Steiner Lecture Dr. Edward A. Steiner, world famous lecturer, author and teacher, was the speaker December 10th, at the second number of the Music-Lecture Course. “A New Race” was the subject upon which he lectured, and speaking of America, he said: “We are a young na tion, being only one hundred fifty years old and are a mixture of people not yet blended. It is what you think, how you feel, and how you act that determines your nationality for one can be spirit¬ ually and intellectually born again. It is not so much a matter of blood as a matter of spirit and attitude. In spite of the mixture of nationalities, there is something like a new race being made here.” European Problems The third number on January 14th was a lecture by Dr. C. Henry Smith, who had just returned from a tour of Europe and England. Having gone for the purpose of studying the problems and conditions which exist there, Dr. Smith gave authentic information concerning political, economic and social con¬ ditions in France, England, Germany, Austria, Italy, and other countries. “Democracy has been given a great impetus since the war,” he said. “Palaces are deserted and monarchies ruined, and it is noteworthy as a historical fact, that the royal houses of many monarchies have collapsed.” Besides existing difficulties in individual countries, Dr. Smith divulged some very interesting facts concerning the League of Nations, and the unpop¬ ularity of America in Europe. Soprano and Reader Mrs. Nellie Nixon Davis of the city, a soprano and reader of high repute, provided the fourth number on February 18th. She was assisted by Miss Doris King, pianist, and Mrs. Paul Reardon, violinist. Page Eighty-eight The excellent program included Ave Maria, Pollyanna’s visit to Snow, scenes from Madame Butterfly and The Enemy, and other splendid bers.

As such it began in this world when man did. Way back, as far as there are traces of man’s early exis¬ tence, there are evidences of stirrings of emotions of Ideal Beauty. Ruskin says: “All great art is the expression of man’s delight in God’s work.’’ Re¬ corded as engravings on stags ' horns, bones, pottery, or stones, will survive the attempts of those ancient fathers to preserve an impression of the beauty of some animal or figure of nature., Art, as far as it has the ability, follows nature as a pupil imitates his master, so we can say with Dante, “art must be a descendant of God.” After man became more perfect in the portrayal of his most sacred thoughts, there was worked out the sculpture and painting as they are found pre¬ served today, on Assyrian and Egyptian tombs, temples and palaces. The Ideal was certainly in the hearts of these men of long ago, for crude and inaccurate as these pictures are, they certainly have a realness of majesty and genuineness of admiration. Greek art was of the very highest type. Perhaps man has never reached quite the perfection of execution nor the depth of admiration which characteriz¬ ed the Greeks of that period. With the passing of Greece, art fell back for many long, dark years. It re¬ awakened in the Christian era, drew to itself great genius, and soon became a means of passionate expression for the zeal and hope of some of our greatest artists. Since then in modern times, art has held a tremendous and worthwhile interest in the hearts of mankind. Art is a real element in human happiness. The world of nowadays is highly scientific. So much must be made of so little, that nature, in a satis¬ factory sense of the world, it seems must be sacrificed. Landscape, surrendering to civilization, becomes cityscape. It is buried beneath the cut-and-dried, measured-and-spanned structures of busy efficient little man. Science, with its facts and specifications, unadorned and uncolored, would soon ruin all the fine perceptions and intuitions of man and even starve away his very life, were it not for the saving influence of art. Buildings assume lines of beauty, facts are garlanded with pleasingness, and lives are adorned with happiness at the touch of art. l Pere are two characters in which all greatness of art consists; first, the earnest and intense seizing of natural facts; then the ordering of those facts by strength of human intellect, so as to make them, for all who look upon them, to the utmost serviceable, memorable and beautiful. And there great art is nothing else than the type of strong and noble life. The highest servicg that art can ac¬ complish for man is to become at once the voice of his noble aspirations, and the steady disciplinarian of his emotions. —Deraid W. Howlett ’28. Page Ninety Page Ninety-one Expression x RT is the expression of life in terms of truth and beauty. Science is the ex- pression of investigation. Literature is the expression of learning. Religion is the expression of the spiritual nature. Is the study of expression essential to full, worthwhile education? To ask the question is to answer that it is. Not all the learning of the ages can fulfill the purposes of education in an individual who has no powers of expression. How futile and useless to mankind is a brain well filled with knowledge, when it is handicapped by a body incapable of expression. Life demands output. It cares not about intake, only when intake increases output. There are few natural born speakers, or writers, or doers of deeds. These powers of expression are acquired rather than inherited. Education, unless it in¬ creases efficiency, is useless so far as the matter-of-fact world judges. Education must train for expression. To education, properly considered, there are two sides; one of taking and the other of giving. Training in expression equips man for the giving necessary to education. Expression develops the artistic facilities of man, making his body an efficient instrument for the output of his soul. Expression removes repression, a fatal enemy to useful man. It aids in establishing proper balance in man. It disciplines man’s will. “The development of expression gives man possession of his faculties and powers, enables him to discharge his functions more effectively in relation to his fellowmen, and in every way makes him more of a man. It has a vital relation to the harmonious growth of the soul and is vitally necessary to happiness and must be a part of the development of the powers of every human being.” —Deraid W. Howlett ’28.

This body pro¬ vides practical religious training for the students and seeks for the promotion of their spiritual welfare. The fall term opened with a desire for a revival by some of the students. This desire with a contin¬ ual seeking of God, kindled the revival fire and cul¬ minated in conducting a series of meetings in which God’s marvelous power was manifested. “The joy of the Lord was our strength.’’ Experiences were re¬ newed and souls were saved and sanctified. United prevailing prayer pervaded the atmosphere. The meetings closed with an assurance of yet greater vic¬ tories. Our Captain gave us this season as a prepara¬ tion time for the battles to come. The “greater things’’ came to us during the winter revival held under the auspicies of the church, and during the rich season of the spring term when Rev. Joseph H. Smith was with us. The manifest presence of God was evident in the student prayer meetings held each week. The Friday afternoon meetings were continued this year with practical and spiritual benefits to the faculty and students who attended them. The timely exhortations by some members of the faculty were followed by inspiring student sermons. Thus it was our privilege to sit together in heavenly places every other Friday afternoon. Aside from the work within the student body, the Conference has faith¬ fully continued the religious services at the County Jail and the County In¬ firmary with Mr. Calhoon and Miss Altic as leaders. With the assistance of faithful ' and efficient helpers, God has blessed their efforts for the advancement of His cause, by the salvation of souls. An additional phase of Christian work was introduced by the choosing and sending forth of Gospel Teams to conduct religious services and represent our institution. Harold Falor, Fred Hunt, Kenneth Pitts and Lambert Huffman are the members of the first team. Working together harmoniously and suc¬ cessfully in Gospel work, they responded to the calls which were given them. Re¬ ports were received of the excellent service which they rendered. In response to calls for a Girls Gospel Team, a second team was organized with Ethelyn How- lett, Mabel Mosher, Burdette Cattell and Anna Talbott as members. Similar reports were sounded which indicated that the girls team very worthily repre¬ sented our College. Individual spiritual progress has been registered. A deeper individual life has raised the spiritual plane of the whole organization. Surely “the Lord hath done great things for us whereof we are glad.’’ —Rose Altic ’28. EVERETT L. CATTELL President Page Ninety-eight The College Community LOSE by the College is the new McCulloch School named in honor of the late ' Colonel J. L. McCulloch, who was one of Marion’s most public spirit¬ ed citizens. It includes both common grade and junior high school work. It is the last word in school architecture and furnishes one of the best equipped in¬ stitutions of its kind in the state. Not only are the children of the College community provided a splendid education but this school also furnishes the Normal students a place for observation and practice teaching. The McCulloch School Band, whose picture appears on the following page, is fast gaining a state wide reputation. It was made possible through the kindness and generosity of Mrs. J. L. McCulloch and her daughter, Mrs. George A. Bell, who donated the instruments. These women deserve much credit for their public spirit, as they have made it possible for the College com¬ munity to bring out its best musical talent. Many children are taking advan¬ tage of this opportunity to learn music which under other conditions would have been impossible. The work is free to all McCulloch students and school time and credit is given for it. Recently a new park has been opened in South Marion through the kind¬ ness of Mr. George A. Bell. It is fast becoming one of the beauty spots of South Marion. Playground equipment of the most up-to-date character has been in¬ stalled and the children of the College community find it a rare place for fun and wholesome play. Page Ninety-mne Page One Hundred SHOOLBAND Keep Boosting SOUTH MARION Space Contributed By SOUTH MARION BUSINESS MEN Page One Hundred one Young Missionary Workers Band T O ALL of us who are earnestly seeking to do the will of the Lord, comes the call, “Follow Me.” We cannot know where a full surrender to that call will lead; but we do know that where Jesus leads, it will be safe to follow. A number of the members of the Young Mission¬ ary Workers Band of Marion College have heard the call to follow Him, and He has definitely led them to the whitened harvest fields of Africa and China. Charles DeVol, our loyal president during the pre¬ vious two years, is now in China telling the story he so much loves, to those in heathen darkness; while Ernest Lehman, another member of the Class of ’26, is in Portugal learning the language, that he might later be an efficient worker among the Portugese of South Africa. Miss DePew who was an active mem¬ ber among us for the first term of this year has re¬ turned to South America to continue her work there. Others are here in school in response to definite lead¬ ings of the Lord, and perhaps some of them will be on the foreign field before another year. The student body has again cheerfully responded to the support of our trustworthy missionary, Mary Green, who is laboring in India, and also to the sup¬ port of our little Hindu boy, Edwin Paul. We have been unusually blessed in having in our midst several returned missionaries, who have given us inspiring messages, from time to time, directly from the field. Besides the regular monthly meetings, the Wednesday noon prayer meetings have proved a means of increasing the missionary interest in the College, as well as keeping in touch with the work on the different fields, and praying for their needs. “If thou woulds ' t my disciple be, Take up thy cross and follow Me; And where the Lord before has gone. Fear not, my soul, to follow on.’’ —Gladys Hall ’27 JOHN AYRES. JR. Pres. Y.M.W.B. Page One Hundred two The Missionary Convention It JTARION College has manifested an interest and zeal in missionary work this • ■ • ■ past year that has never before been attained. It can be truly said that many of her young men and young women are seeing visions. Perhaps there is nothing which has lent more inspiration to this spirit than the missionary convention which began on Friday evening of November 12th. A spirit of prayer came upon the college in this behalf, and God wonderfully answered by giving of His own presence in each session. The early morning prayer meeting seemed especially blessed of the Lord. Rev. E. F. McCarty, the Connectional Secretary of Foreign Missions, was the main speaker, giving four addresses: “God’s Love for Unevangelized India: “The Moslem Religion in Our Mission Fields:’’ “The Ministry of Prayer for Missionary Work:’’ and “Preparedness for Christian Work.” These messages were freighted with power and not only enabled many to see the darkness of the heathen world, but also placed the responsibility upon this age to take the Light of the Gospel to those for whom Christ died. Rev. McCarty has visited all the mission fields and studied their needs and conditions closely, enabling him to speak as one who has a broad perspective on the missionary problem. Two other countries were represented in the missionary addresses. Miss Clara Ford, a returned missionary and student in the college, gave a most in teresting illustrated lecture on Africa, having as her theme, “The Transforming Power of God.” Mr. and Mr,s. Cox of the Friends Mission each gave a message. Mr. Cox presented the China field, and Mrs. Cox took the Sunday morning service, preaching on “Followship and Fellowship. The missionary offering following this message exceeded any previous record. Special music was provided by the students of the college. One feature which helped to make the convention a success, was the curio display in the library. The collection consisted of over six hundred pieces, giving a glimpse into India, Africa, Japan, China, South America, and different countries of Europe. Though this was the first missionary convention ever held in Marion Col¬ lege, its success gives good -evidence that it will be by no means the last one. God put His seal upon it and spoke to many hearts. It is to be expected, that before long, some will find themselves in some distant country, as a result of a decision made at this convention. —Catherine I. DeVol ' 27. Page One Hundred three A History of Progressions A LEXANDER the Great conquered the world, and died during the year 323 B.C. Vesuvius spouted over, August 24th, 79 A.D., covering the ancient city of Pompeii and killing the inhabitants. Columbus discovered America in 1492, and died in prison several years later. Of course there are several other events of historical interest, such as the the death of Napoleon and the Battle of Benburg, which might be recorded, but we propose to deal only with that history which has played a vital part in the progress of civilization during the limitless period of its development. We’ll let Alexander the Great take care of all the wars and military agrandisements. To Vesuvius we shall entrust the duty of warning future generations concerning the geological and physical calamities which may en¬ gulf them. As for poor Columbus, he has been written about, sung about, scorned, praised and mocked until I’m sure it would please him to be omitted from this history. However, one more step brings us up to the time of Na¬ poleon. No doubt Napoleon would have made an excellent modern tax collector if he were living today. It is this that induces us to believe, that he, as a type, is a suitable symbol capable of acting in the capacity of a historian in dispensing with the rest of the world’s history and troubles. There is, however, one ex¬ ception to such disposal of history. This exception is to be found in the Liter¬ ary world. Seven years ago, a literary germ of the species ambition, found root in Marion College and began to grow in a most phenominal way. Literary ac¬ complishments in the form of poetry, music, various types of prose, and most all phases of literary achievements found growth in this new organism. A unanimous decision rendered by those who were interested in this liter¬ ary organization, favored a motion suggesting that the organization should be known as the Amphictyon Literary Society. (Amphictyon coming from the Greek word meaning “Wise men’s council’’). There has been a constant growth from that time up to the present. The high standards of the Amphict¬ yon Literary Society are recognized in Marion College, and many appreciative students are taking advantage of the opportunities offered for literary develop¬ ment. Programs are given every third week throughout the entire shool year by members of the society. The chief aim of the society is to develop, in its members, the ability to appear before an audience with ease and confidence. The big Marion College arch, which was placed at the head of the campus by the society, welcomes every prospective student to Marion College to make the Amphictyon Literary Society his or her literary home. —S. Lambert Huffman, ’30 Page One Hundred four Amphictyon Literary Society PRESIDENTS First Term Kenneth E. Pitt s Second Term Israel W. Kinsey Third Term Everett L. Cattell Page One Hundred five Marathenian Literary Club T HE fact that wc did not cause our own existence reasons that we owe it to someone else. Then, at the outset, we are debtors to God, who gave us life. Since the possibility of choice lies within us, we are allowed to discrimi¬ nate between the actions which will lead to happiness and those which lead to distress. Because we are endowed with this faculty of choice, we are made debtors to ourselves in order that our personal existence may be as happy as it is possible to make it. Then, since we are environed as we are, each individual is indebted to those around him whose actions are often influenced by his own. Many suggestions might be given for diminishing these debts. Such an achievement is like the location of the Imperial City of Rome. Every road in the empire culminated at the metropolis. So there are many thoroughfares of opportunity which lead to this achievement. Then, too, it requires the making of the trip on several roads in order to obtain the desired end. School life offers the best external means of preparation for the lessening of our obligations. Necessarily, debts we owe to God and to ourselves are per¬ sonal and must be dealt with as such. However, school privileges aid in these respects, but especially in preparation for service which we ought to render to others. In college life, there is an excellent medium open to all. This is mem¬ bership in some literary club. We cannot easily overestimate the benefits that a conscientious member may receive by this means. Older members of the Marathenian Literary Club have discovered that membership in this organization has greatly helped them individually in realiz¬ ing their obligations and in helping to diminish them. This new organization which came into existence in the spring of 1925, launched upon its second year of active service. It was with a will and deter¬ mination to attain a greater degree of success that this club began the work of the year. A spirit of loyalty, of cooperation and of realization of duty has character¬ ized its members. The club welcomed a large number of new students who chose to cast their lot with this organization. Since school only helps to pre¬ pare for the paying of our debts, we, as a literary club, are going to be content with achievements gained thus far, but keep the vision of our obligations ever before us. Coulds ' t thou in vision see Thyself the man God meant; Thou never more woulds’t be The man thou art content.” —Esther Pitts ’29 Page One Hundred six Marathenian Literary Club PRESIDENTS First Term Roscoe Leamon Second Term Constant Muth Third Term Bryon L. Osborne Page One Hundred seven Eureka npHE problem of the education of the race has within the last century, become - ■ a very serious one, and time, talent and money, unestimable, have been expended in its growth and perfection. However much may have been exerted in its furtherance, still the task of perfecting continues, with thousands sacrificing themselves on the altar of educational development. Theory and practice must go hand in hand, for theory is nothing but thinking about practice,, and the practice which is worth while must be thought about; must grow out of theory. This notion is older than Socrates, Prota¬ goras, the first great cultural teacher, reached the conclusion that: first, “teaching requires natural disposition and exercise, and must be begun in youth,” and second, “neither theory without practice nor practice without theory avails at all.” Without theory, practice must be a blind doing of what somebody else— tradition, authority, or accident—has directed. It is quality, not quantity of practice which determines expertness. One process of training is the passing out of knowledge. It is stored up in books, courses of study, in the minds of the teachers and others, and is passed out in daily doses. Recitation is to see that the daily doses have been taken, and examination is to see if those doses have been retained. Another is the process of training the mind by which the mind will become a much more flexible and ready instrument because of its gymnastics, but this lacks the important element of knowledge. A third process is a uniting of both the accumulation of knowledge and mental training. Together, such a process or processes com¬ prise a useful tool which men have shaped to meet their needs in life. The first process seeks to put its students into possession of results without allowing them to go through the process of getting them. The second seeks to develop processes apart from the context of reality which gives them meaning. What is commonly called education is only the raw material of knowledge. Before man can use any part of education, he must remake it through his own thinking. “There is no form of knowledge so complete and final that it can¬ not be improved, no single human art so perfect that it cannot be made better, no form of human endeavor that does not call for further effort.” • To practice theory and theorize practice; to digest knowledge that it may become ones own individual and personal thought; to begin the life process of education which will increase and develop in the experiences of life; to strive toward the perfecting of knowledge; this is the aim, this is the goal, this is the standard set in the hearts and souls of every member of the Eureka Literary Club. —Alice C. Losie ’29 Page One Hundred eight Eureka Literary Club PRESIDENTS Eirst Term Clarence Moore Second Term Wallace Calhoon Third Term Mildred J. Adams Page One Hundred nine Collegiate Debating D EBATING in our colleges and universities tends to correct our unbalanced curriculum. We that are in college for four years act as mental tankards for knowledge. By text-books and lectures, the professors pour into us highly concentrated extracts of facts, figures and principles, hoping, too often, that the process of fermentation will be delayed until after graduation. But the result often is not fermentation, but stagnation. Few indeed are the counter¬ balancing courses that stimulate us college students, into using our knowledge, into creative thinking, into expressing ideas upon any subject. Debating is one of the few opportunities offered for that much needed creative thinking and for that reason it attracts to its ranks students of the highest mental caliber. “By their fruits ye shall know them, it has been written, and despite all critics, the college debator has profited in after life by his training. Willis John Abbott, writing almost thirty years ago in the Review of Reviews (August, 1899) pays this tribute to such training: “In proportion to their attendance they (the small western colleges) seem to have produced a greater number of graduates intelligently interested in public affairs and able clearly and convincing¬ ly to express their views before an audience . . . Oratorical contests awaken the enthusiasm, which at some of the more famous eastern institutions of learning, is aroused only by victory on the football field. The debating society is an arena, which is more eagerly sought than the athletic field.” Unfortunately no complete record, so far as I can find, has been kept of the success generally of intercollegiate debators throughout the country, but only by individual institutions here and there. There is a record, however, of the winners of the famous Interstate Oratorical Contest—which offers the same ad¬ vantages of training. This record, covering the years 1874 to 1902, reveals that there are now listed in “Who’s Who in America’ twenty of the fifty-eight winners of first and second place—over one-third! They include one author, one governor, one bishop, and two other clergymen, two United States senators, two United States representatives, three lawyers, and eight educators including five college presidents. This statement is encouraging for those of us here at Marion, who are in¬ terested in debating. In 1926 we were very successful in our intercollegiate debate, but this year the wind has been against us. We lost all of our debators last June, with the exception of one, by graduation. Yes! and we even lost Prof. Stokes, our coach. Nevertheless, we have not lost courage. Seeing it ab¬ solutely impossible for us to enter intercollegiate competition this year, we set to work preparing ourselves for next year. We have had our debate meetings every Monday evening, sponsoring public speaking, parliamentary drill and de¬ bating. —Israel Wm. Kinsey ’28. Page One Hundred ten Marion College Debate Club President . Israel W. Kinsey Secretary . S. Wallace Calhoon Academy Debate Club QUCH an interest in debating has been shown by the students of the Academy that early in the spring quarter the Marion College Debate Club formed a subsidiary organization for them. Sponsored by Everett Cattell they are carry¬ ing out the same plan of activities as the College Club. Page One Hundred eleven Chemical Research Club President .... Seibert H. Kershner Secretary . Edith M. Becker T HERE is perhaps no science which has woven itself into the fabric of human interest as that of Chemistry. In fact there is very little with which we have to do. in which Chemistry has no part.. Discoveries in this field are being made every day and those who are acquainted with scientifice affairs know this to be an age of Chemical investigation: and yet, what has been discovered even to the present time represent an infinitely small fraction of what is yet to be re¬ vealed, for in every field of Chemistry, men are merely infringing on the mass of knowledge which when known will result in miraculous changes. Four years ago the chemistry students and faculty of Marion College felt the need of an organization which would provide an opportunity for chemical research and there was organized what is known as the Chemical Research Club. The Club meets each alternate week to discuss the investigations which were assigned. Speakers representing different chemical industries have spoken to the club and increased the interest of the members. Illustrated lectures have been helpful in visualizing chemical processes. This year the club, has added to the library two chemical magazines which are used as the basis of the discussions and have been of material value in pre¬ senting subjects of current interest. It is to be expected that ere long this research may result in some definite contribution to the science of Chemistry. —Catherine I. DeVol ’27. Page One Hundred tu. ' elve Biological Research Club President ... Seibert H. Kershner Secretary . John L. Leedy T HE purpose of the society, as it is written in the constitution, is to stimulate an interest in the Biological Department of our school; to increase the ap¬ preciation for the greatness of nature’s marvels; through field trips and class discussions; and to build in Marion College a museum and a herbarium. During Commencement Week of last year the society had its first real field trip. After a hearty search for flowers as well as many other interesting speci¬ mens the members of the society with their guests did justice to a very appetiz¬ ing breakfast of hot toasted sandwiches, coffee and fruit served on a beautiful green plateau decked here and there with the richest gems of spring. For our entertainment we had the sweet melodies of our summer friends intermingled with the splashes of fish in the clear sparkling waters of Deer Creek as it rush¬ ed. along over its rocky bed a hundred feet below us. It is hoped that this may be an annual event of the society. The society purchased this year 40 lessons on Taxidermy from the North¬ western University of Taxidermy, but conflicts have arisen which prevented the study and discussion of these lessons. They will be given in full next year. The society is starting a herbarium this year and will appreciate getting specimens from different sections of the country. —Siebert H. Kershner ’27 Page One Hundred thirteen Le Cercle Francais President Lawrence R. Williams Secretary Jennie E. Andrews T E CERCLE FRANCAIS, one of the most interesting and peppy organizations ' of Marion College, is a club organized by the French students. The pur¬ pose of Le Cercle Francais is to provide an organization for the furtherance of the French language and French customs among the members. Meetings of the Club are held once every month. Sometimes the meetings take the order of a formal program and papers and talks concerning French cus¬ toms, history and literature are given; other times the Club carries on all the program in French—with French songs, readings, spelling matches, etc. The most eventful meeting of the Club was in the spring when a banquet was served in French style— n ' est-ce pas, camarads? Guests appeared in French costume and conversation and toasts were given in French. Ah! Oui! Tous parlent le Francais un peu! As the beginning year of our Club, we feel that it has been a success and that interest has really been aroused in the French language and customs. —Laura B. Conklin ’27. Page One Hundred fourteen Philathroisean Society President . Lowell Fisher Secretary . Margaret Farley A LL great organizations are the result of vision. In January of 1926 three students of Marion College had a vision of a new society, a society of collectors. We have in our midst collectors of stamps, coins, and antiques, of biological and geological specimens, of curios and souvenirs. As there are Pila- tetic Clubs in most colleges a need was felt for a similar organization among our extra-curricular activities. A group of stamp collectors drew up a constitution and appealed to Miss Boyce for a name of Greek derivation. She suggested Philathroisean, Lov¬ ers of Collections. The name and constitution were unanimously adopted by seven charter members. Did folks laugh? Of course they did! But they soon found out that Philathroisean was no joke if it was a tongue twister. They stopped laughing and joined, so that within three months we numbered thirty-five members. Under the supervision of Professor Westervelt the members have made a thorough study of the science of collecting. They have ransacked the town li¬ brary and searched through magazines; they have written papers and prepared speeches and in their programs have had discussions that were both interesting and educational. —Clara Ford ’29. Page One Hundred fifteen Buckeye Club President.Harlan Mosher Secretary . Helen Weaver ' T ' HE purposes of this club are to help maintain the high spiritual standards of Marion College, to strive to promote the interests of the College in Ohio, and to increase the spirit of fellowship among the Ohio students. From the beginning the Buckeye Club has increased rapidly and now has about forty members. Once in a while the club meets for a social time which usually takes the form of a candy or pop-corn party in the dormitory kitchen. T he Club has been successful so far in accomplishing its aims and we trust that even better things may be prophesied for the coming years. —Martha M. Mosher ’29. Page One Hundred sixteen Page One Hundred seventeen HU Physical Education’s Contributi on in Character Building O NE of the fundamental principles of Psychology is that habits are formed by experience. Judd, the great psychologist, states: “This fact is commonly ov¬ erlooked by the teaching profession. By some mysterious process, teacher activity, text books, elaborate methods, spacious buildings and close supervision are expected to work educational wonders in the minds of the youth. We are often surprised that the results of such treatment are sur¬ prisingly meager. The trouble is found in the neglect of pupil ac¬ tivities. “After making allowance for the heredity factor, the education of any person is wholly deter¬ mined by the experience he has had. While teacher activities, text books, methods, etc., are important aids, the fact that “experiences alone educate must be our guiding principle. Accepting this principle, we must at once recognize the unique position and tremendous part that motor experiences, especially play and games; assume in education. Play is na¬ ture’s active and instinctive mode of education. The playground, the athletic field, the gymna¬ sium are the laboratories where all these experiencs may be enjoyed. Cooperation, friendliness, loyalty, obedience, self-control, fair play, and many other moral and social values will have the opportunity for self-expression here. Habits of cooperation are not acquired by studying social sciences, but by the practice of cooperation necessary in all team games. Loyalty is not developed by reading about it, but by actually helping to achieve the cause to which you are loyal. Self-control is not gained by the study of the psychology of self-control, but by being placed in a situa¬ tion where a personal contact game plus the instinctive fighting spirit constantly requires the exercise of self-control. There are few thinkers who will not agree that the athletic field is the laboratory where many of the finest traits of charac¬ ter can be developed (under the right personality) because it is here that we have the heart and soul of youth expressed through their action. Thus, under proper supervision, we encourage the participation of all students in athletic activity. As a means to this end, the Athletic Association sponsors many tournaments during the school year, offering suitable trophies to the winners, thus encouraging every one to do his best. While we sponsor intra-mural athletic activity, we are opposed to inter¬ collegiate athletics, believing that inter-collegiate athletics tend to the complete development of the few, rather than to the development of all. Being a demo¬ cratic institution, it is our sincere desire that all shall have the best athletic train¬ ing in the laboratory of character building. —Israel Wm. Kinsey ’28. ISREAL W. KINSEY President Athletic Association Page One Hundred eighteen Men’s Gymnasium Classes Page One Hundred nineteen Paqe One Hundred twenty Tennis Tournament Won by Kinsey v. . f ■ Page One Hundred twenty-one The Tournament of 1927 R EPRESENTATIVE teams from each class and department of the College met in a tournament which has never had an equal in the history of the school. As for pep, they had plenty, their speed was like that of the Spartan Runners. As for skill, oh! boy! you should have seen them play. The very walls of the gymnasium echoed the cheers of the enthusiastic crowd of fans as they eagerly awaited the opening game of the season. The Senior Bearcats were opening the tournament in a royal combat with the Fresh¬ men Whirlwinds. The game started off with a rush. Such skill in team work or art of basket shooting was never more manifested. The fans were continually brought to their feet as the game grew faster and faster. Despite the spirited and courageous fighting of the Seniors, the Freshmen gained a lead in the last few minutes which won for them the game by a very close score. The Whirlwinds met the Sophomore Giants in a hard fought game. They raced over the floor like dancing phantoms, for so fast was their playing it seemed they never touched the floor. The first half ended with the Whirlwinds one point in the lead. Murray opened the second half by tipping off to Bill Howell who started a landslide of goals for the Giants. The Giants were vic¬ torious with a score of 22-27. The Academy Midgets met the Junior Tigers in the closest game of the tournament. The little Midgets passed and dribbled their way among their heavier opponents with great ease and skill, keeping the score equal through the third quarter. The Tigers started the last quarter with a rapid offensive, but even then it seemed the score would be a tie when Chub Pryor from center threw the ball just as the bell rang. A deathly silence reigned. The ball struck the back board, rebounded to the ring, rolled many times and settled through the ring making the score 14 to 16 in favor of the Giants. The Bearcats met the Giants in the decisive battle of the tournament. A failure to win this game would tie the Sophomores and Juniors. The fight was on. The Sophomores with a little more skill and speed as against the per¬ fect team work and team spirit of the Seniors. The Seniors held the Giants during the first half, but were unable to resist longer the impact of the giant center of the Sophomores as he smashed through their lines with a steadily increasing momentum until he had passed the leather sphere through the ring for 14 points, which not only won for the Giants the game, but the tournament. In honor of the winning team, a banquet was given in the dining room of Teter Hall. After doing justice to the abundance of good eats, many toasts were given. Then each member of the Giants team was presented with a beautiful miniature basketball. During the entire tournament a true competitive spirit was shown. There is no other game which so well develops this spirit as does basket ball. May the future tournaments in Marion College keep the true sportsman spirit which has been so nobly started. —Siebert H.

Its object is to meet a much felt need, for an official instrument to care for inter¬ society projects such as the various contests that occur during the year. The council for this year has, just as this book goes to press, organized with the following officers: President . Everett L. Cattell Vice-President . Mildred Adams Secretary and Treasurer . Helen R.

Western Avenue Chicago, Illinois Some friends are like shadows, only with us when everything is bright. The oyster is our heaviest drinker. Dr. Paul Galstoff of the United States bureau of fisheries has just con¬ cluded a series of experiments and finds that an average oyster “drinks” 80 quarts of water a day. But when the water is colder than 45 degrees the oyster goes on a thrist strike and declines to quaff at all. HOW TO BE POPULAR IN THE DINING ROOM Find your favorite table: never sit beside new students; they might think you are too friendly. Always discuss topics no one else understands; your reputation must be maintained. Be sure and take a big helping of food the first time it is passed; there are always those who might rob you of your second helping. Never fail to keep a place near your plate for your favorite food as this makes it convenient for you to help yourself often. Do not feel embarrassed in reaching for food—just explain that you have a “boarding-house reach;” your friends will understand. Eat your soup by sipping it from a spoon; the soup might be hot and burn your throat. Help yourself to two pieces of meat—this informs the others that you are hungry. Do not fuss about spilled coffee; the waiter can get you more; and your neighbor won’t mind for coffee stains are easily removed. Do not become confused if your elbow strikes your neighbor; tell him kindly to move away a little or you might hit him again. Always remind the others of the better kind of food you got last year; praise flatters many people and spoils them. Do not hesitate to leave the table before the others are finished; this distinguishes you from the rest, besides giving you an air of importance.

She is, of course, feminine. If she is singular, you become nominative. You walk across to her, changing the verbal and then become dative. If she is not objective, you become 1 plural. You walk home together. Her mother is accusative and you become imperative. Her brother is an indefinate article. You walk in and sit down. You talk of the future and .she changes the subject. You kiss her and she becomes objective. Her father becomes present and you become a past participle. P. 8 L. BAKING COMPANY EAT BETTER KRUST BREAD Because It’s Better F. W. WOOL WORTH CO.
