EX LIBRI I THE MARIONETTE VOLUME SIX Nineteen Hundred Twenty-eight PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF MARION COLLEGE MARION, INDIANA Page Three Foreword TvU ' Vs ? [I v T __ t - Jl- rv We stay in school only a few years at most. Many pleasant memories of life in our Alma Mater will be dimmed by the passing of years. The learned of all past times have left us rich legacies of knowledge which in their turn have been stepping stones to our present stage in Edu¬ cation. We have been helped while here to gain a broader view of the meaning and the worth of Education. It has been the purpose of the Staff in preparing this volume of the “Marionette” both to preserve in memory by words and pictures the pleas¬ ant experiences of school life, and also by the art theme to portray the “Progress in Education.” THE MARIONETTE STAFF. c [Marionette- Dedication To John D. Williams, whose deep interest in Christian Education has been linked with that of our college since its founding, whose ability as a financier in discharging the treasurer ' s duties has been a great factor in promoting our school privileges, whose Christian character is exem¬ plary, we dedicate this sixth volume of the ' ‘Mar¬ ionette.” May this in part repay the debt of grati¬ tude which ive owe our friend. tionett ' age Seven c Marionette- Where wisdom guides our faltering steps In paths of liberty J.

R. ’31 Page Eleven f Ration ette President’s Message Education is the greatest American problem. It is essential to the de¬ velopment of the best in the individual and, through the individual, the highest type of social and institutional life. Since this is true, the indivi¬ dual without education is limited in his power to appreciate life in its full¬ ness and in his ability to render service to humanity. For this reason, the very best thing an individual can do to prepare for a happy and use¬ ful life is to avail himself of the opportunities to secure an education. Education develops power, but power without proper direction is dan¬ gerous. Christian education not only develops mental ability and acumen, but it also determines the direction of these great forces. Marion College is a Christian institution. It attempts to bring to the student opportunities to develop mental power and a knowledge of the arts and sciences; it also helps the student to establish himself in the es¬ sentials which lead to the development of the highest type of moral and spiritual life. Through partial reorganization of the school, some real constructive work has been done this year. The cost of operating the institution has been reduced several thousand dollars. A conservative estimate shows, that if the funds pledged to the school are paid, there will be no deficit in the operating expenses of the school this fiscal year. This has been done without reducing the salary of a single instructor or lowering the standard of the work in any way. The school has been fortunate in receiving some substantial gifts, ag¬ gregating approximately twenty thousand dollars, details of which cannot be given here. The physics and chemistry laboratories have been much improved by added material and equipment. A number of excellent reference books have been added to the library. It is safe to say that every department of the school has improved in some degree during the year. The spirit and cooperation of faculty and student body have been all that could be desired. The amount received on the budget from the various churches in the Marion Educational district is larger than last year. The local patronage has been excellent and the number completing courses in the various departments this year is as large, if not larger, than in any other year in the history of the school. Our slogan for this year is “1928 twice 1927.” It is hoped that every student, every alumnus, every friend of Marion College will catch the spirit of this slogan and help make our dreams come true. May we not count on you to begin now and keep up the campaign until victory is won. Page Twelve A. JONES Acting President Page Thirteen (Marionette Faculty CHARLES O. BUSH, A. B„ B. S., M. A.

To be pushed out into a matter- of-fact world after having such a good time in the genial fellowship of a more or less careless college life seems a bit unkind, but we would not have it otherwise. Already we feel the desire to represent the principles of our college in the world, and are anxious to match our idealism against a ma¬ terialistic social system. “The value of a life is measured by the depth of its convictions, by the breadth of its sympathies, and by the extent of its influence.” So has a college president well said. Conviction must be the foundation of life. The sturdiness of a building depends upon the hidden depths of its foundation. However fair the ap¬ pearance of a life without convictions, it is sure to fall at the first hard shock. We believe our college training has not prepared us to build a life upon the sand. Our foundation has been tested, it is true—perhaps de¬ stroyed, but only that we might go deeper and start the building anew, this time upon the Rock. That foundation has been laid, its strength tested. “Let every man take heed how he buildeth thereon.” Only as we follow the plan of the Master Architect can our lives realize the beauty and sturdiness he expects them to have. Our world needs sympathy. Mankind is our business. We cannot af¬ ford to keep muck-raking like “the man with the hoe,” never raising our eyes to see the world around us—a beautiful world, but one that needs loving and lifting. When we really understand a need, we can give aid. College has helped us understand. Happily our sympathy may share the depth and breadth of His who saw the world in need, and loved it and gave. The world has felt the mighty stirring force of those lives which were deepest in conviction and broadest in sympathy. We mean to live such lives, and thus our influence will be sure. To Marion College the Senior class wishes to express its gratitude. You have given us an added respect for hard, honest work. You have en¬ larged our vision; have helped us to deepen in our faith. Allow us a clos¬ ing tribute in a paraphrase which in part expresses our sentiment for you. “Better is none in all the la7id, Our God shall keep and lead thee on, For thee our hopes are high and grand, A better day for thee shall daivn. Our hearts shall true and loyal be Ever, dear Marion, to thee.” A. PERRY RAWSON, ’28. I (dl aticmette College Juniors DONALD H. PORTER Marion, Indiana Major, Mathematics Pres.

ELETHA WHITEHEAD, ’29 Page Thirty-seven Marionette Sophomore Prospects If good looks were a sure means of foretelling a successful future, the Sophomore class of Marion College would have no cause for worry. But you know those who are older say that beauty doesn’t always count. Per¬ haps they are right. . Anyway, that is not the only road to success that the Sophomores have. Just notice some of their hobbies. There are some of the girls who would rather be teasing or getting into mischief or playing jokes, than anything else. There are those whose hob¬ bies are hiking, horseback riding, tennis, throwing snowballs, etc. Art and photography have their place and music is quite a general favorite among the class. There is in the group, that domestic type of girls who would make candy or do fancy work whenever the occasion offered. The romantic type is also found, whose ambition it is to enjoy scenery on moon¬ light nights, while driving through the country in large cars. But the studious group is not lacking. Reading, both fiction and non-fiction, and even looking up the meaning of new words they find, is a pastime popular among a group of the class. The same sense of curiosity that drives some to the dictionary, drives others to the laboratory to discover and prove the laws of nature. Several members indulge in writing as a hobby. One person is continually trying to invent labor-saving devices. Now, taking the class as a whole, don’t you think it ought to be a suc¬ cessful group? There is that first group to put life into things. The athletes’ learning to play the game square will help them to do so in time to come. The class may some time be known for its artists, musicians, and writers; in fact, they are well known now in their community. The intellectual are needed to further the educational projects of the country and no doubt some of them will help in the various fields. Since all the world is looking for labor-saving devices the inventors in this field will be in great demand. Thus, a prosperous future may be predicted for this group, talented in fields of activity where leaders are needed. MARY HUNT ’30 Page Thirty-eight c Marionette !

The time for which I had been looking so many years had come. I was in college. I had a right to go anywhere in the buildings for I belonged there. Moreover, I was going to make use of these priv¬ ileges. I would just show the upper classmen that Freshmen are not al¬ ways green. ETe many days had passed, however, I saw that this would not be so easy. Almost immediately, I was involved in some trouble with the Sopho¬ mores. But by the time I had learned to wear my distinguished hat with some grace, I had sufficiently gained my equilibrium to hold my own. I carried my full share of the responsibilities in the college. I boosted the Chemical Research Club; I helped to get the Historical-Debate So¬ ciety going; did my bit in the French Club; and helped make the athletics peppy. In fact, I helped both the Reds and Blacks win honors. When stopping to think of it, I find my talent has contributed to almost every program given—of those given by both literary societies and by the ex¬ pression department. I am also represented on the Journal Staff. However, the part which is most enjoyable is a share in the religious activities. It is very gratifying to be in an institution where God is given first place. I entered heartily into this work and was honored by having a representative in one gospel team and also on the executive committee of the Student Conference. By the end of the first term, as work piled up, I began to feel quite dis¬ couraged. “I had toiled aivay for a lonesome while, Through day’s dull glare and night’s deep gloom; And many a weary lonesome mile, I had paced in the round of my dismal room.” I felt like saying: “I will leave the tale half told, And leave the song for the winds to sing; And the pen—that pitiless blade of gold, That stabs my heart like a dagger-sting — I will drive to the hil t in the ink-stand’s top, And spill its blood to the last black drop.” But as I look back over the busy year, I can now actually say: “Toil is sweeter than all things here.” ESTHER FORD, ’31.

Every year it makes its contribution to the various departments of Christian work, such as the pastorate, foreign missions, home missions, teaching, and Sunday School work, in the persons who graduate from its various courses. The School of Theology has among its alumni a number of persons in these various callings who are making splendid records, thus reflecting credit upon Christ, themselves, and the Institution. The year 1927-1928 has been one of the very best in the history of the School of Theology. The teaching force has been maintained at a high point of efficiency, and the courses have been most satisfactorily con¬ ducted. This issue of the Marionette presents to the public eleven grad¬ uates from the School of Theology, two of whom receive Bachelor of Divin¬ ity degrees, five of whom receive Bachelor of Theology degrees, and the other four receive diplomas from the Bible School courses. We are legi¬ timately proud of the young people who go out from our halls into active service this year. The work maintained in the School of Theology is sufficiently broad to accommodate the needs of practically all classes. Those desiring grad¬ uate work in Theology find here courses splendidly adapted to their needs. Those who desire preparation for specific Christian work, equivalent to that of college graduation, leading to a definite degree, and have had high school training, are taking advantage of the Theological College Course. This is a combination of regular college work and regular theological work, leading to the Th. B. degree, and furnishes splendid equipment to such who cannot continue their preparation beyond four years above their high school graduation. Those who feel the call of the Lord upon them for specific Christian work, but who have not had the ad vantages of high school, and who do not find it possible to remain in school for a longer period of time, find that our Bible School Courses furnish them with a great deal of help for the work to which they have been called. Looking forward to the year 1928-1929, it is a pleasure to know that so many splendid men and women have their faces toward Marion College, looking eagerly forward to the time when they may begin their prepara¬ tion in our Institution. Some of them have been planning definitely to do this for years. We shall be delighted to welcome them at the opening of the fall term in September. J. A. HUFFMAN, DEAN.

We regretted very much that Mr. Lange was not permitted to finish his Seminary work last year, be¬ cause of his being called back to a pastorate, but we are glad he was permitted to finish the course this spring. He came here two years ago with an A. B. from Tabor Col¬ lege. Mr. Lange is one of the most useful and consecrated ministers we have ever had in our Theological De¬ partment. VERNON D.

THE SPARROW’S FALL I saw a sparrow fall today, Its coat was stained with red. I saw it writhe in agony Upon a mossy bed. An arrow pierced my heart today As softly I drew near With tender touch and pitying eye To sooth away its fear. The fluttering bird in terror fled, But soon, exhausted, died And I beheld a crimson flow Gush from its wounded side. I saw the Christ afresh today; I felt anew the pang, As proffered mercies were refused By wounded sin-sick man. J. R. ’31.

The education of the youth for intelligent citizenship is largely the prob¬ lem of the public schools. How well the public schools perform their func¬ tions is determined by the character and efficiency of the teachers. In order that general intelligence may be raised to higher levels, and citizens better prepared to carry out American ideals, it . is ncessary that those who are to teach and direct the activities of those who are to soon to take hold of the great problems of our country shall be more thoroughly prepared for this task. For this reason, the education and training of teachers is a very important function of higher education. The Normal Department of Marion College is the largest, as well as one of the most important departments of the institution. The splendid op¬ portunities for observation and student teaching in the excellent public schools of Marion make the Normal Department of Marion College especial¬ ly attractive to those who wish to prepare to teach. The Department this year is the largest in the history of the school. Approximately one hun¬ dred students will be eligible to secure a license at the close of the year. About twenty-five will secure a first grade elementary license, and thirty two will complete a four year college course for high school teachers, and will be qualified to receive a first grade High School license and the degree, B. S. in Education. In addition to the courses now offered for teachers, strong departments have been organized in music and art so that those desiring to qualify as supervisors in the subjects may be accommodated. The demand for better trained teachers is increasing and those who con¬ template entering the profession should prepare to meet the more exacting requirements. Marion College is constantly strengthening the teacher training course so that those who complete the work in this institution may be prepared to compete successfully with those from any other of the teacher traning schools. A. JONES, Dean of Normal School. Academy Page Sixty-three r atTonette-J Marion College Academy Education is now recognized as an essential to modern life and welfare. History has proved that the kind of education which is most beneficial is that which puts God first. For without God man is at best only a savage. Sad to relate, however, the public schools of our country are drifting far away from this most necessary essential. This is the reason why there is a necessity for such an institution as Marion College, which affords an opportunity for Christian young people to be educated in a way that will increase rather than undermine their faith in God. This is also the reason why there is a necessity for an ac¬ credited High School course. This year, there was a studious group of young people in the Academy. The classes were organized and carried on the customary activities and social functions. The Freshmen and Sophomores organized in one group with John Huffman as President. The Juniors appointed Arthur Ford President of their class while the august Seniors elected J. Edward Hays to be their leader. The department contributed talent as well as loyal support to the organ¬ izations of the School. It had a representative on the Marionette Staff. It seems that the College orchestra would have been at a loss without the steady work of its four Academy members. In basket ball as well, the Academy athletes have boosted—both girls and boys—the Blacks and Reds. The literary societies have also presented Academy talent in more than one program. Nevertheless, the most important thing is the part taken in the religious activities. Many of the Academy students did their part in carrying the burden of keeping Marion College spiritual by prayer and faithful at¬ tendance at meetings. The Principal, Professor Simmons, was a great inspiration and help to the department. His sound judgment in instruction aided many a troubled student. Professor Bush kept us building on the foundation of truth in the realm of Chemistry. Miss Adams, Miss Andrews, Miss James, and Mr. Kershner also kept our minds active with other academic subjects. The progress made surely warrants every sacrifice made to make the Academy possible. The spirit of the Senior Class might well be adopted. “We’ll do the best we can with what we have to do, and work for more.” ESTHER FORD ’31. Page Sixty-four Fflftationette-J Academy Seniors RALPH C.

Come right in. Visit our Art Department and see some of the work that we have been doing this year. We are proud of our large sunny Art rooms. Don’t you like our class room? The fireplace helps to make it cozy, and on dreary days we keep a fire in it. Those designs in water colors there on the wall are an exhibition of freehand painting. Now let’s go into the studio and look at our charcoal drawings and oil paintings. Aren’t these snow scenes lovely? We have quite a variety of work. Here is an Italian fishing village with old Mount Vesuvius in the background. This Japanese moonlight scene is interesting too. Notice this quaint picture of Priscilla, this clever one of Mrs. Bruin giving her cubs a bath, and that picture of the old moose standing among the pine trees of Maine. To us, the studio is not only a room in which we learn to draw, but it is also a place for personal culture and inspiration. A good picture like a beautiful selection of music cannot help but uplift the soul. Do you wish to know a little of the history of our Art Department? It was started in 1924 when Mr. Crossman gave private lessons in landscape painting. In the Spring he began organizing Normal work. The next Fall the regular Art program was started and the curriculum worked out for the four year course for those desiring to take landscape painting. At the present time we have the regular two year course, and are now work¬ ing on two and four year Art major courses for Elementary and High School teachers. The first year, room E was used alternately for English and Art; later, the Art studio was in the basement of the girls’ dormitory; then we were given one room here; and now we have these three rooms. This year, we organized our Art Club with Clarence Moore as President; Clara Ford. Vice-President; and Lulu Sutton, Secretary-Treasurer. The aims of the club are: First, research work; second, financial pro¬ ject, wherein the students and department both profit. As soon as our work is far enough advanced we will have an exhibit and sell the students’ work. This gives you an idea of how we have progressed in the past four years. We have a prophecy for ten years hence, and I think that if you will come back at the end of that time you will be surprised to find how much of it has come true. You may see an industrial shop, designing of costumes, painting of china, pottery making, textiles, block printing, and possibly some manual training, and work in metal. The students will then be able to maintain themselves in school from the sales of their work. Come and see us again as soon as you can. LULU SUTTON, ’31. Page Seventy J-fl ationetteT Page Seventy-one ationette- Expression Department In the early days of civilization crude and undeveloped methods of com¬ munication were quite satisfactory. But at the present day, when civiliza¬ tion is at its height, when no democracy can exist without a maximum of effectiveness in public and private discussion among its citizens, when there is need of convincing the educated multitudes, improved methods of thought are necessary. In order to lead a multitude, sway an audience or convince an individual, one must know how to transfer his ideas to others in a forceful, honest, convincing way. In consequence of these facts, Marion College is hoping for a time in the near future when no student shall be graduated to go out in the world as a minister, teacher, or business man without first equipping himself with that training which will insure a successful contact with his fellow men. It is not the primary aim of the Marion College Department of Expres¬ sion to send out great orators, although there are and have been orators among the graduates. But its desire is to afford a training in expression that will make the minister more persuasive, the teacher more comprehen¬ sible, the lecturer more convincing, and the conversationalist more pleas¬ ing. The Expression Department does not limit its activity to secular writings as is done in many colleges, but is well rounded in that it offers a course in the “Vocal and Literary Interpretation of the Bible.” In its aims and at¬ tainments the department is not forgetful of the principles upon which Marion College was founded. Cognizant of the fact that inactivity is a hindrance to progress, public recitals are given quite regularly. By this means, not only is the public made acquainted with the progress and growth of the department but these activities are also an invaluable means for the development and training of those in the department.

Since self-expression is constantly the object of man’s search, music must and does take a high place in the cul¬ tural life of any college. In Marion College the need for music of the highest quality has been realized and every provision has been made for its development. Our music department ranks high among the music schools of the state. Miss Grace Giddens of Woodbine, Iowa is piano instructor. She is an excellent musician and has that rare gift of making music live. She has added several new courses to those already established, enabling students who wish to teach public school music to secure a certificate which is recognized throughout the state. Our voice department, under the capable guidance of Miss Cornelia Dungan of Marion, has been of great benefit to the private students and to all those in the chorus, quartettes or solo work. Under the inspiration of Miss Dungan’s fine musicianship interest was aroused and a glee club was organized among the men. Later a girl’s Glee Club was organized with about forty members. Our orchestra is not as large as we could wish, but Mrs. Delores Nuss- baum has demonstrated the fact that numbers are only incident to the pro¬ duction of good music. Every two w T eeks private recitals are given providing the students with the opportunity to appear on the programs. Students realize a great bene¬ fit from all these phases of development, but to stop here would not be in keeping with Marion’s program of advancement. Before another school year opens the music department hopes to have arrangements completed for giving a much stronger, more complete course in music l eading to the degree of Bachelor of Music. It is planned to allow students to take a Bachelor of Arts degree with a music major as well. These improvements will mean that the cultural life of the institution will undoubtedly be more highly developed. Music has always gone along with true achievement in other fields of learning. Our slogan of twice ’27 in ’28” holds good in music as well as in other things. It is our surest way of interesting and developing our youth. It means happier, better citizenship. Music is the one art which in itself cannot corrupt. Marion’s music is not jazz and ragtime. The classics, oratorios, cantatas and folk songs are stressed and in our students is being built up and appreciation of the best in all music. HARLAN MOSHER ’28.

It has been well said that if the students are not saved or deepened in their Christian experience, then Marion College has failed to fulfill her mission. The atmosphere of the College depends largely on the attitude of the students. The organization designed alone to build up the spiritual life among the students is the Student Conference, whose membership is the whole student body. The executive committee of this group directs most of the spiritual activities. Dr. Huffman, the faculty member, appointed to supervise this work, has been an invaluable help in planning and carrying it on. This year we have been permitted to have as our president, Mr. Falor, whose spirit¬ uality and zeal have done much to maintain inter¬ est in the religious things. There have been marked advancements in the Student Conference work this year—the third one of its existence. Meetings have been held every week instead of twice a month. In all of these, a keen interest has been shown by spiritual students. The messages, generally delivered by a student, were inspiring. The Student Conference meetings together with the weekly Student Prayer meetings helped to pave the way for the College Revival. Rev. J. J. Coleman was the evangelist in the winter term. His concise, sincere messages, backed by the prayers of the students, were a great blessing. A revival in the school later in the year also proved of great value to all who attended. The Lord not only graciously saved, reclaimed and sanctified many, but strengthened the believers. The activities carried on by the Student Conference outside the College walls were a blessing. Mr. Crim, the first evangelist, had charge of the meetings held at the County Jail while Mr. Werking was made responsible for the County Farm work. A new work was opened up in North Marion, which was organized by Mr. Ballenger, vice-president of the Student Con¬ ference, and Mr. Often. The student body has been well represented by the Gospel Teams, sent out to sing and do evangelistic work. Harold Falor, Kenneth Pitts, Lam¬ bert Huffman, and Perry Rawson were the members of one team. The second team consisted of James Robertson, Eugene Iliff, Lesley Conley, Vernon Yousey, and Otto Stockman. Your prayers for an old-fashioned revival will be appreciated. ESTHER FORD, ’31 Page Eighty-two =■ —— - d Evangelistic Workers In answer to the earnest desire and prayer of His people, God, we be¬ lieve, raised up Marion College for the preservation and extension of “the Faith once delivered to the saints.” It was desired not only that her young people be saved from the errors of modern religious teaching, but that they might become earnest aggressive ministers of this faith. It is for us as Christian students to deliver to our generation this spark of Divine fire. In ordei to attain this high calling there must be means of expression in active Christian work. Christianity, above all things else in life. No one can keep a happy Christian experience without giving this life to others. There are several forms of Christian activity open to the students of Marion College. If a person is earnest in his work, he may choose almost whatever form he desires. There is a large field among our own student body. Some of our students are mission and jail workers, and some have regular pastorates. Missionary activity is also emphasized. The Church in general may well thank God for this group of devoted young men and women, who are soon going out to bless the world, and “spread Scriptural Holiness.” Page Eighty-three c ationette- y. m. w. B. Of all the service rendered for the Master, there is none that takes more depth of devotion to perform than that of a foreign misisonary. But in a Christian institution of higher learning devoted to the doctrine and ex¬ perience of Scriptural Holiness, it is just as natural to expect those to be present who are planning to be foreign missionaries, as to expect those who are going into any other line of activity. Marion College fully meets this expectation. There are some fifteen or more who are looking toward the for¬ eign field for their life’s work. Beside these, the Seniors Young Missionary Workers Band includes in its membership a large number of the students of the school. Those who were especially interested in this phase of school activity started in the beginning of the year to make the Young Missionary Work¬ ers Band the most active organization of the school. Whether or not this has been accomplished, there have been several things done which have deepened the spiritual life of the school and brought the claims of God on lives for missionary service. As a result, some have made it known that they feel a call to foreign missionary work. Among the various activities, the first started was the Monday morn¬ ing prayer meeting at six o’clock, which continued for most of the year. These meetings were the means of imparting much information and in¬ spiration. A number of the students availed themselves of this opportun¬ ity to help advance Christianity around the world. There is no doubt but that some souls will be saved because of these meetings. The two conventions of the Student Volunteers, with which the College cooperated, were the International Convention, held at Detroit, and the State Convention, held at Franklin College. Delegates to these conven¬ tions expressed the thought that there was not only a great deal of en¬ thusiasm and information given, but also a return to more spiritual things. The College missionary convention, sponsored by the Band, was the most extensive of its kind ever undertaken here. Several returned and former missionaries spoke concerning their respective fields. Prominent among the subjects discussed were: “The Missionary and His Work,” “Medical Missions,” “Womanhood of India,” “Missionary Equipment,” “China’s Fu¬ ture,” “Race Problems,” “Our work in Africa,” and “The Home Base.” The principal speakers were: Rev. P. D. Doty, Mrs. Vura Morris, Rev. and Mrs. C. C. Decker, Rev. Charles DeVol, Rev. Jackson of Marion A. M. E. and Rev. T. P. Baker. The students responded heartily for support of their missionary, Miss Greene, and for Edwin Paul, the Hindu boy, and have shown their willing¬ ness to go in any possible way. EDWIN BALLENGER, PRES. Page Eighty-Jour Inter-Society Council The Inter-Society Council of Marion College was organized late in the school year of 1926-27, but did not begin to function in a positive way until the beginning of the school year 1927-28. The membership of the Council is composed of the literary society Presi¬ dents, two members from each society elected, and a faculty representa¬ tive. This representative of the faculty, for the present year, is Professor J. A. Huffman, who has also served as President of the Council. The need of such an organization in Marion College has been felt for a number of years. Until its organization, there was no properly constituted body to which problems of the various societies could be submitted. It does not seek to impose its decisions upon the societies, but being made up of representatives of the various societies, with faculty direction, the de¬ cisions of the Council are always fair and to the advantage of all the so¬ cieties. It is the policy of Marion College not to add organizations merely for the sake of organizing; but the Inter-Society Council of Marion College has already, by its impartial and wise function, justified its existence. It is one of those organizations which has doubtless come to stay. Page Eighty-jive c Marionette Chemical Research Club The universe, in which you and I live, once looked down upon humble humanity and said with a voice of thunder, “I dare you to discover my secrets.” That was a mighty challenge, but humanity accepted it. Thus a mighty battle was started. The universe fought tenaciously. Year after year humanity, with increasing knowledge, battled and fought with equal ferocity. Finally, the pressure grew too strong; the old uni¬ verse retreated one step, and a part of the veil was drawn aside. From that time, humanity has continued to fight and the old universe to give way step by step. To look backward, we have gained great suc¬ cess; to look forward, we are only on the threshold of a great subject. For six years, the Chemical Research club has been a means to an end. We cannot help but believe that the Key of Knowledge gained from the association with this club will sometime help us to unlock one little door of the mystery room of science and to bring forth to humanity some little chest of gold hereto unfound. KELSO DAVIS, ’30. J3| ati onette-f The College Community It makes a lot of difference where one lives, because living is one of the most interesting facts of existence. We are social beings and for that reason we like to be around where other folks are; if the folks among whom we live are friendly, neighborly, industrious, moral and all around good people, it is a whole lot easier for us to do what we ought to do and so be happy and really worth while. Now the community round about Marion College is a mighty good place to live, no matter whether you are young or old. The institution brings to it a fine group of young people from the very best families. These young people are full of the vigor of youth, ambitious, and with high ideals of life. The tennis courts, baseball grounds, gymnasium, with musical and liter¬ ary societies, furnish various kinds of free entertainment. Just a little way down Washington street is Bell Park, a beautiful shady place with a wading pool and all kinds of playground equipment, a verti- able paradise for the children. On down the street a little way is that wonderful McCulloch Junior High and Grade public school building, set in a plot of beatuiful landscaping. On a part of the twenty-six acre tract is one of the finest athletic fields in the state, fully equipped with bleachers, running track, and equipment for loot-ball and other games. In this part of the city are several excellent factories furnishing employ¬ ment for scores of men and women. Some of these industries are pic¬ tured in the double page display following this page. In this part of the city are many excellent stores of various kinds and a bank, so that practically every want may be satisfied. There are also churches and Sunday Schools of various denominations, as well as other civic organizations. Good paved streets, electric car lines, free mail delivery twice daily, electric lights, abundance of city water from deep driven wells, many beautiful homes, all contribute to the essentials of a thrifty, happy social group. All these things, with many others not named for lack of space, account for the steady, substantial growth of this part of the city. If you should want to locate an interesting, fine community, you need not look further. Page Eighty-seven pflftationette- ' MAC BETH-EVANS GLASS CO. d. A. Schmitz, Supt. KEEP BOOSTINC INDIANA MFG.

Peter was a smart boy and had good judgment. His father had been in Congress and his mother was a social society worker. Well sir, Peter came to Marion College in the fall of 1927. On the day that he registered, several members of our sister society crowded around him (for he was good looking) and tried to get him to promise to join their society immediately. “No sir,” he says. “Fll look around for myself.” He did look around and saw several things which interested him greatly. “This Council of Wise Men,” he says to himself, “Kinda appeals to me.” The first literary program of the year (Amphictyon) came off and Peter slipped into the chapel to see it. The kind hearted sergeant-at-arms invit¬ ed him to the front but Peter, being a little bashful, seated himself well toward the back. Things got pretty quiet soon and the blonde haired President got up and said some mighty appropriate words, among which were: “The conquered ship of a nation sails under the flag of the victor. I ask you, whose flag has Marion College been flying under?” Those Amphictyons pounded their hands together and looked wisely at one another. The program was characteristically Amphictyon and went off without a hitch. After that first meeting was over, Peter Van de Wunk slipped out of his seat and started for the door. A big husky fellow with black curly hair met him at the door and shook hands warmly. “Come again, Peter, we’d like to have you as a member of our society.” As Peter went down stairs, a satisfied expression hovered around his mouth. He had found his society. Just a few days after Peter was voted into the society, the program committee asked him to appear on the next program. He consented to do this although with some fear and misgiving. His heart was aglow when he realized he had done his best and was ap¬ preciated. That is the Amphictyon ideal—to introduce new talent, and then to appreciate it. Peter saw his society enjoy a wonderful year. He saw other helpful and interesting programs; he saw the campus arch painted; he saw peppy meetings; but greatest of all, he saw the magic accomplishment of win¬ ning the silver cup. Peter has never been sorry that he joined the Council of the Wise men.

Burdette Cattell Spring Term xge Ninety-three Eureka Eureka! All the members of this outstanding literary club are proud of this name and its significant meaning. Few of us realize that the name has other interpretations than the original meaning “I have found it.” “We have found what?” may be a question in some one’s mind. We have found the club of the highest ideals. The significance of the different letters of word reveals these ideals: E—signifies that it stands for “education for community welfare,” and is that not what we strive to do? We take talent and utilize and develop it in the form of public entertainments and programs which all individuals are welcome to attend. U—stands next. “Unexcelled in purpose” characterizes this letter. No one has striven more faithfully and earnestly to find the best things in life than the members of this club, and the best compliment that can be given them is that they have been rewarded in their efforts by success in the first degree. R—succeeds U. “Ready to serve” is its motto. Always ready and always willing to do our best is one of our aims. Ready to serve Him who created us in His image, and ready to serve His people in the way that will do the most good. To serve, we must attempt to serve with the best that is in us. We bring before the community our best thoughts and ideas which should be so presented as to arouse the interest and pride of every indivi¬ dual and incite in them the burning desire to do bigger and better things. E—“Encouragement for others.” Is that not a worth while purpose? If we can encourage others to see the value of developing talent and par¬ taking in activities that count for something, we feel that we have done our duty. When an individual sees what can be done, and is being done by others, the best that is in him responds, his pride is stirred and he resolves to do better in the future. K—“Keenness of perception” is a quality that anyone or any society should be proud to possess. To be able to see to the best advantage, to present new ideas and carry them out in unique programs, and to have the power of originality is a talent in itself. Such a characteristic helps an or¬ ganization to look into the future and plan their lives accordingly, so that reaction will be in accordance with circumstances. A—The last letter, but not the least. “Always loyal”—loyal to purpose, loyal to friends, loyal to school, and loyal to church and Christ. Loyalty means that we will be true in spirit and word in whatever work we under¬ take to do. 1 ‘age Ninety-Jour Eureka Literary Club Fall Term President Howard Grim Secretary Frances Modlin Winter Term President Lowell Fisher Secretary .

French is the most popular language in Marion College. This has been true in former years, but in 1927-1928 it has been more true. (Ask Miss McMichael whether she has been kept busy). Students desiring to become better acquainted with French and wishing to encourage their mutual interest in the language reorganized “Le Cercle Francais” in October. At the first meeting, officers for the year were elected. President. Dorothy Case Secretary . Perry Rawson Treasurer . Mary Hunt At later meetings held once each month, all business was carried on in French. French folk games and songs were learned, and conversation carried on. At one meeting, slides depicting French customs and costumes were shown. It was the purpose of the members of the club to make it not “just an¬ other club,” but a worth while organization, and we hope that in future years the spirit may be carried on and improved. Page Ninety-six You may call it what you will. We call it the Historical-Debate Club. I know that about three fourths of our debating - is nothing but arguing and that quite a proportion of our History is quite recent. But we have to call it by some name, or we couldn’t announce the meetings. For a few years in Marion College we had a regular debate team. It wasn’t a club; it was a team. It was their work to study on a subject chosen by the State League. They were supposed to know everything about that one subject. But for the good of a larger group, the method of a debating club serves the purpose better, for it gives opportunity for a greater number of students to receive the benefits that come from debat¬ ing. You must not think we do not believe in extensive training in debate. But it’s this way. There are many students here that need debate train¬ ing. Most of them are preparing to be either ministers or teachers, and it is absolutely essential that they know how to form an opinion and then give a reason for their views. A lawyer must know the history and the decision that was given to a similar case. He must be able to think by means of past experiences and present proofs. It seems quite logical to us that we study history as well as debating. Although we do have some pretty heated arguments in the meetings we expect each person to have an absolute basis for this opinion and then to be able to present this view. CLARENCE MOORE ’28 Page Ninety-seven Athletic Association The Athletic Association of Marion College has this year brought a new program into the round of school activities. In former years, competition was in games between classes and literary societies, but this method did not give the most free means of rivalry. Mr. Cleaver, the athletic di¬ rector, suggested that we try a new plan this year; that the entire student body be divided into two groups. A committee was appointed to divide the school as equally as possible. Porter and Rawson were chosen leaders. The sides adopted the College colors as names, so we have the Reds and Blacks. Every game that is won counts one point to the winning side. The Blacks are ahead in tennis and baseball and the Reds in basketball. The competition is very keen. There seems to be better interest in all kinds of athletics than there has ever been. The first part of February, it was proposed that we raise money to better equip our gymnasium. One Friday in chapel the Reds took one side of the room and the Blacks the other. A subscription board of six hundred dollars was placed in front and the chal¬ lenge was given as to which side would contribute the most for equipment. The total amount subscribed was nine hundred dollars. This shows the in¬ terest of the student body in Marion College Athletics. The money raised will make possible the equipping of the gymnasium with showers, lavatories, lockers, mats, wall weights, ladders, chinning bars, and archery apparatus. The purpose of installing this equipment is to make possible physical education for all. It is on the program of the Athletic Association to prepare for a field meet in the late Spring. This will make it possible for nearly all to take part in their preferred sport. So often we hear it said by men and women in the various occupations and callings of life activity, “Oh, I wish I had given more time to the proper development of my body. I could be doing more for the Lord.” It takes spiritual, mental, and physical development to make an efficient worker and the Athletic Association is doing its best to fulfill its purpose.

Marion College is a Christian Educational Institution. Its purpose is to bring to its students an opportunity to develop the highest type of moral and Christian character. It welcomes to its halls young people from all denominations or those who have no church affiliations. It imposes no creed or particular religious belief, but attempts to induce all students to develop the highest type of Christian character.

A man, walking in the woods, discovered a rattlesnake pinned under a stone and set it free. The snake was so grateful it followed the man home and became a great pet around the house. One night the man was awakened by a commotion and on investigation found that a burglar had entered the house. The snake instantly had seized the burglar, wrapped itself around the burglar’s neck, thereby holding him securely, and had stuck its tail out of the window and was rattling for the police.
