' Mark 4:29 After graduation from Houghton College, the long life of service and sacrifice which Professor Janies W. Elliott has led, began in earnest. After pastoring for a period of time, Prof. Elliott entered the field of missions in Peru in 1920. His graduate work was completed at Middlebury College, in Vermont, and Ohio Wesleyan, after his return to the United States in 1925. Taylor University was the next stage of action in the consecrated life of this faithful Harvester. He was Instructor in Spanish and Bible at Taylor from 1928 to 1934. After this term of teaching Professor Elliott became Rev. Elliott once more. He pastored in Various Indiana Wesleyan Churches until 1943. In 1940 Professor Elliott joined the faculty of Marion College as Instructor in Spanish and Bible. How fortunate we are to have him and his quiet, Christ-like influence which has helped to bring so many souls into the great Harvest! Professor Elliott is not only pastor, evangelist, teacher, and missionary, but writer as well. Besides many, many shorter writings, two of his booklets have been published: Which Way? and The Higher Way. Several other works are in process, one of which he uses as a text. It would be possible to use up more space in listing the contributions and services of Professor Elliott. These incidences of his life, however, are not the reasons we have chosen to turn the thoughts of the 1956 Marionette to him. The theme of this year’s annual is Reaping . . . Harvest. It is in looking for a faithful laborer in the great Field of God that our thoughts have been focused on Professor Elliott. We think of the many kind words secretly sown in the hearts of his students . . . the seeds of sound doctrine that have been scattered abroad in his classes . . . the spring in his heel as he walks . . . the bright smile . . . the kindness, all of these and the many other golden characteristics that make up the man to whom we humbly dedicate the 1956 Marionette, Professor James W. Elliott. 11 WILLIAM FINNEY McCONN, B.O., A.M., D.D. President Marion College lias been favored with the leadership of Dr. McConn since 1932. Some have said that no institution could rise above its leader. No one has been a greater factor in drawing Marion College and its constituency upward than our own president. He has been a laborer in many of Marion’s Harvests. Always, in preparing students for the future, he has tilled the soil with greatest care and sown the best seed available. As the panorama of students he has served passes through our minds, and we glance from face to face of those who have reaped the benefit of a college education under his administration, on many lives we see the clearly defined stamp of his influence.

The group is chosen by the faculty after the submission of candidates by the Student Council. Allison Weatherby, better known on the campus as “Chub,” has endeared himself to the hearts of the students and friends of the campus in the position of assistant to the College pastor and chaplain. He has also been active in Class, Journal. Music, and other activities. Chub comes to us from Marlton, New Jersey. From the Deep South comes Council President, Bill Dilling. This native of Gastonia, North Carolina has found time in his busy schedule for Gospel Team, Student Council and other worthy activities. His deep spiritual life has been a blessing. Music rolls from her fingers—yes, it’s Janet Todd who is at home right here in Marion. Although the busy daughter of a Friends Minister, Janet has found time to make many worthy contributions to Marion College Campus life. She is an easily recognized leader among her friends and classmates. Here and there, always busy, is our other Marion representative, Lois Heavilin. Her class and Athletic Club have known the most benefits of Lois’ talent AND UNIVERSITIES and organizational ability. She is always found with a ready smile and a good word. Mrs. Carol Zurcher has, in some miraculous way, successfully blended the many activities of a busy pastor’s wife, with the many excursions and “extras” of a well-rounded college life. Carol has endeared herself by her friendly ways. The Buckeye State has given us Thom. Thom Davidson of Bowling Green, Ohio has been a member of the College Choir and the Varsity Quartet as well as a participant in many other varied activities. You will most likely find him student teaching or in one of the science labs. Working at the switchboard, singing in the Col¬ lege Choir, working on the Journal,—all of these activities are typical of Betty Calhoon who comes to us from Mt. Gilead, Ohio. She has served as a capable leader in F.T.A. All the way from Madison, Missouri comes Cletus Kramer. Clete’s main concern is the advancement of the Kingdom of Christ. He has served as an in¬ spiring and challenging leader of Student Confer¬ ence. Other activities in Class, Quartet, and various clubs have claimed his energies. Hats off! Yes, our hearts swell with pride as we extend hearty commendations to eight among us who have contributed so much to our surroundings.

One of these active clubs is the Student Conference which meets each Tuesday evening for the singing of favorite gospel hymns, sharing of personal vic¬ tories in words of testimony, and fervently pray¬ ing for campus as well as world-wide needs. This group is responsible for regular services in the jail, factories, social institutions, and organization of the gospel teams. Cletus Kramer has served as Student Confer¬ ence president this year; Robert Wilmot as Jail and V. A. Evangelist; Rebecca Eades, Old Peo¬ ple’s Home; Lois Heavilin, Children’s Home; and Prof. Titus as sponsor. “Go ye into the highways and byways . . .” The Student Ministerial Association, made up of those preparing for the ministry or any type of full time Christian service, stresses Christian service at home. The purpose of the organization is to maintain and promote interest in Christian sowing, watering, laboring, and reaping in the harvest field of the Lord. Through the purchase and use of public address equipment, members of the club and other interested students have been able to spread the street meetings from Marion to outlaying towns. Officers for this year include: James Rowe, president; Prisci lla Kuhn, secretary; and Rachel Enyart, treasurer. j ; Rev. George Failing, pastor of College Church and College Chaplain, has served faithfully in our field of harvest since coming to our campus in the fall of ’53 from Houghton College. At the College Church he has encouraged and inspired us. The parsonage is always open to anyone seek¬ ing prayer and advice at any time. His deep understanding of human nature has made it easy for many to seek counsel. Although he is one of the busiest men around the campus, he still finds time to attend and par¬ ticipate in many college functions; he is never too busy to give a cheerful greeting to brighten a cloudy day in the horizon of a discouraged student. A M S T E The gospel teams, under the sponsorship of the Student Conference, have answered the call to the fields of harvest in that they have been representing Marion College each GOSPEL . .

Armstrong Fall Evangelist Since the beginning of the school year the Lord has blessed Marion College in spiritual as well as intellectual and material advancement. The Fall revival was conducted by Dr. C. I. Armstrong with Prof. Herman Baker, head of the College Music Department, in charge of music. For our workers during the observance of connectional Youth Week we had Dr. 0. G. Wilson, and song evangelist. Prof. E. Stanley Banker. The Spring revival was under the leadership of Bishop Charles V. Fairbairn with Rev. Frank Dennard conducting the music. Our hearts were stirred during the Missionary Convention by the consecrated messages of Miss jean Cleveland. Dr. Ezra DeVol, and Rev. Floyd Banker. These were truly times of victory for those willing to obey God in His steps toward the sowing of the seed for harvest. Dr. 0. G. Wilson Youth If eek Evangelist Charles V. Fairbairn Spring Evangelist “Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into His harvest.” The Foreign Missions Fellowship which meets each Wednesday, following the lunch hour, em¬ phasizes the enthusiastic zeal and adequate pre¬ paratory training for those students who have definite calls to Christian service in foreign lands. The core of these weekly meetings consists of prayer and discussi ons to promote a missionary spirit on the campus which will inspire Marion College students to pray for, send money to, and go as laborers for the already ripened harvest field. The highlight of the year s activities is the sponsorship of the annual Missionary Conven¬ tion. Club officers for the year include Becky Eades as president; David Brown, vice-president; and Esther Johnson, secretary-treausrer. FOREIGN MISSIONARY FELLOWSHIP GROUND BREAKING Looking toward the future Williams Hall. Marion College has long been recognized as hav¬ ing a missionary vision. Various efforts are exerted throughout the year to promote this vision. The stu¬ dent body is at present supporting five missionaries on the field. Rev. R. S. Nicholson. Jr. is being sup¬ ported in Japan. Rev. and Mrs. Malcolm Ellis in Africa, and Rev. and Mrs. Robert Mattke in Aus¬ tralia. The Missionary Project Committee sponsors annually a Missionary Convention as a means to greater missionary zeal. This group consists of presi¬ dents of F.M.F., Student Conference, and W.Y. Cletus Kramer has been the leader of the group with Becky Eades as secretary and Don Boyd as treasurer. These capable leaders along with the fac¬ ulty sponsor, Prof. Carter, have given a “great har¬ vest” vision to the students. Although not a campus organization, the Wes¬ leyan Youth of the College Church is closely asso¬ ciated with campus life. This organization, composed of college youth, has its meetings each Sunday even¬ ing prior to the regular church services. This group assists in making the arrangements for the Youth Week services. Special emphasis is placed upon the vital importance of a Christ-centered life as a main point in the preparation for the sowing of the seed to insure a bounteous harvest of souls for Christ. Leaders in the organization this year are Don Boyd, president; Betty Calhoon, treasurer. Ray Welch, program chairman; Jackie Garner, secre¬ tary; and Cletus Kramer, Vice-President. WESLEYAN YOUTH MISSIONARY PROJECT SINS, HOSANNA! CHRISTMAS BANQUET GOSPEL TEAM meditation HOMECOMING message WORD : 1 1 1 111 mQ, j; ■■■ PHYSICALLY The 1956 Basketball season introduced new basketball champions to Marion cam¬ pus ... In the deciding game of the season Keith Kaiser led the Amphic crew with 20 points. Next in line was Landis with a total of 11. Final score of this crucial game was 55 to 53 in favor of the victorious crew¬ men. At the end of the final game, the team was led by Coach Chub Weatherby to the net and each of the hard working men cut a section of the net. The Red and White team is composed of Glenn, Kaiser, Bogue, Jack, Landis, Carter, Lynn, McKinley, and Miller. AMPHIC BASKETBALL 64 As the hardwood season got under way the usually tough and ready Eurekans found themselves facing unusual competition in the well poised and polished Crew Men. In the deciding game of the season Bruening was high scorer with a total of 17. Hughes ran a close second with 16. The second half of the game was a tight scoring battle with the Eurekans failing to make the crucial shots in the fiery closing minutes. In spite of a valiant fight, the torchhearers bowed to the Red and White Team. With Larry Hughes as captain, the team is com¬ posed of Harvey, Hughes, Chrispell, Bruen¬ ing, Crim, Boyd, and Huber. EURE KAN BASKETBALL 65 s O F A T “In the spring a young man’s fancy turns to thoughts of . . softball! On the green athletic field of Marion College, after the last trace of snow and ice has melted away, the sound of cheering fans, umpire’s calls, and the crack of the bat against the ball herald the news of a new softball sea¬ son. The main purpose of this renewed spring competition is the same as all the others throughout the year—that Christian sportsmanship may be as fully developed as possible. In the first game of the season the Amphics rolled to an impressive 8 to 3 vic¬ tory. The Crewmen seem to simply take up where they left off in the second game with a winning score of 16 to 11. Although the torchmen put up a gallant offensive, the Amphic’s strong attack led them to a final score of 17 to 14. MM FOOTBALL The brisk, cool days of autumn bring into the spotlight one of the best-loved sports— football. There was a fine spirit of good sportsmanship and enthusiasm among both players and spectators. The Amphics won the opening game 25-2. In the second game of the season, the Eurekan squad upset the Red aggregation 13 to 6. The Amphics took the third game 13 to 0. The Amphic team clinched the series in the fourth game by defeating the Eurekans again 13 to 0. The season’s final tilt proved to be a gruesome one. Both teams were determined to win. The Eurekans won a 14 to 0 victory in this game. The Amphics proved themselves cap¬ able by winning the series. BASKETBALL ALL-STARS Girls Basketball All-Stars Lett to Right: Nancy McGinnis, Mary Hughes, Sarah Norris, Dorothy Dyer. Unphotographed: LaShawn Medders, Mary Goins. The Basketball All-Stars have proved themselves worthy of the title. Oil- lookers have not only admired their ability in manipulating the ball, or even their keen-sighted strategy, but most of all, the good sportsmanship and fair play for which they have stood. . FOOTBALL ALL-STARS Watch that pass, Watch that team,—It’s the All-Stars! Timing, real ability, and some good hard work have gone into the All-Star games. The boys that have won this title for themselves have worked long and hard to play the best game possible with the pigskin. All-Stars are chosen from both the Amphic and Eurekan Teams. This “boiling down ' ’ of the best, has given us a team of which we may well be proud! Football All-Stars Glen Rader, John Rowe, Art Mimnaugh, Bob Wilmot, Wynston Lynn, Hubert Brown, Chub Weatherby, Janies Rowe, Julian Breuning. AMPHIC BASKETBALL Although the crew of the Red and White Ship put up a good fight, the torch- bearers of the Green and White Clan swept over them in a victorious season. The girls’ teams are largely outgrowths of the physical education classes which are directed by Mrs. Mary Hughes. The real purpose of the organiza¬ tion of the teams is for the development of cooperation and good sportsman¬ ship. Keep your foot on the base—watch second—it’s a double play! A lot of things mean spring around Marion, one of them is the renewed action of bat against softball. The girls teams this year have afforded some good times of relaxation and fellowship. The games have been directed by Mrs. Hughes, under the sponsorship of the Physical Education Classes. • • • 1 l SOCIALLY STUDENT COUNCIL The purpose of the Student Council can best be stated in the words of the preamble of the con¬ stitution—“We, the students of Marion College, for the purpose of securing a closer relationship and for a better understanding between faculty and students, and for the purpose of assisting in the supervision of student activities . . .” It is the custom to undertake a project each year in some form of worthwhile accomplishment or improvement on the school campus. Our coun¬ cil is no exception. Plans are being made for a project we hope will appeal to every student. From a history course I remember the pro¬ fessor making a statement to this effect—“Govern¬ ment, if it is to be effective government, must originate with the people.” The Student Council seeks to represent the student body in good gov¬ ernment. While all decisions of the council are subject to final approval by the faculty, the origi¬ nation of good laws must come from the students if they are to meet the student needs. It is true that democratic government moves slowly, but may at the same time move surely. May the stu¬ dent body speak forth their sentiments, not in complaint or murmuring among themselves, but through representative government. The Council has worked during the year under the capable direction of president, William Dilling. j I 74 SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES “Up from the grave He arose’ floated out through the dining room windows and doors early on Palm Sunday morning as the traditional breakfast was prepared by the capable hands of those distinguished inhabitants of Congress Hall, the Senators and Representatives. The noble men not only presented the expectant group with plat¬ ters of fried eggs and crisp bacon, but also pro¬ vided a most enjoyable and profitable program. Many perplexing situations have been thrust into the hands of this worthy body, but through many strenuous sessions which have convened into the wee hours of the morning they have managed to keep the campus in good operating order. The C.C.C. has functioned throughout the year for the purpose of maintaining school spirit and good social relationships between students. The group has found many hours of work in sponsor¬ ing the Christmas Banquet, the Valentine Ban¬ quet and the Birthday Dinner. The reward has been greater than the work, however, in the good times and fellowship with classmates. Many lasting friendships have been formed through the “Big-Little Sister” plan launched for the purpose of aiding in the orientation of fresh¬ men girls. Meetings of the C.C.C. in the spacious parlor of Teter Hall for chats and refreshments have brought the girls of the campus into a closer and more meaningful relationship. COUNCIL OF COLLEGE CO-EDS 75 I BEN DROWN, Sales Mgr. PIERCE BRANE, Asst. Bus. Mgr. THE MARIONETTE DR. DONALD PORTER Faculty Sponsor Why should REAPING be chosen for a theme for the 1956 Marionette? Why should the idea of sowing and harvesting be connected with Marion College? To make a complete list of the many opportunities and benefits Marion offers her students would be utterly impossible. Many of them are those spiritual, intangible things that cannot be confined to pencil and paper. The Marionette has endeavored to catch just a glimpse of this great harvesting process. You will be happy to receive your 1956 Marionette. After the hours of hard labor, and the anxiety, the Staff will be even happier to see it in your hands! As is comes to you, the purpose of the Marionette is to convey the same high principles upheld by the school she represents . . . “Be not weary in well doing . . . For in due season ye shall reap.” The hard working Marionette crew is: Bobbie Jean Wood, Editor; Barbara Coalson, Assistant Editor; Pat Miller and Charles Heinlein, Literary Editors; Bob Wilmot, Feature Editor; Von Letherer, Snapshot Editor; Carroll Brown. Art Editor; Dick Chrispell, Sports Editor; Marvin Kierstead and Ray Welch, Layout Editors; Ray Elliot and Emory Howell, photographers; Pat Hansen and Louanne Ewing, typists. The Business Staff has been guided through the year by Joe Pickett, Business Manager; Pierce Brane, Assistant Business Manager; Ben Drown, Sales Manager. The spon¬ sor, with the headaches and anxieties suitable to his posi¬ tion, has been Dr. Donald Porter.

The Journal has been a real asset to college life with its up-to-date news, reports, reminders, announcements, and advertisements. With its mass of headlines, deadlines, layouts and plans the staff has worked hard to keep the Journal in circulation among students and friends. On “Journal Days” the halls from the chapel seem to have special traffic problems, and the 10:10 classes just can’t seem to get started on time ... all be¬ cause of the power of the printed page! Lois Heavilin, Asst. Circulation Mgr., Chub Weather- by, Business Manager, Bob Kessler, Circulation Manager. Wade, Etsler, Fowler, Norris, Wilmot, Calhoun, Rough, Crim, Stauffer, McFall, Paine i Ship Ahoy! It’s the Amphic Crew of 1956. During the school year, 1955-56, the Amphictyon Athletic Society pushed to the front for some sounding victories. They wave the winning banner for the football, basketball, and softball seasons. During the “Rush Season” the competent and enthusiastic group presented the student body with a ship scene. Many of the new students decided to board the ship on Rush Day. The “Friendly Crew” have proved themselves to be just that throughout the year. Amphic representatives avialed themselves of every opportunity of wel¬ coming and helping adjust campus newcomers. Professor Charles Carter has proved an in¬ spiration and capable advisor in matters of de¬ cision and action. Club and sponsor alike have endeavored to uphold the high principles of the club in friendship and equality. The U.S.S. Amphictyon crew chose a very cap¬ able captain in Harold Bardsley. Although the seas were rough and stormy, and constantly “stirred up” the Eurekans, the Basket¬ ball Coach, Chub Weatherby, guided the crew to their lighthouse of victory. As another successful year closes, the shout echoes, “Sail, on!” Green and white, Fight! Fight! comes the cheer from the south side of the Marion College Gym¬ nasium. Yes, the Eurekans are still around. Founded in 1920 as the Eurekan Literary So¬ ciety, the Eurekans have continued on the upward pathway lighted by the green and white torch, the symbol of their society. In 1951 the name was changed to the Eurekan Athletic Society to meet the new purposes of the society. On Rush Day, the green and white court com¬ manded their judge to “Go, Eureka. Many of the new students followed the advice of that court as evidenced by the number who went Eurekan. The Eurekans netted 101 new members on that day. With the slogan of “each one sell one’ ' the sales captains, Lois Heavilin and Jackie Garner, led the Eurekans in a successful Marionette Sales Campaign. The Eurekans were winners in the spring base¬ ball series and won the track meet. Dr. Dayton, the club sponsor, advised the offi¬ cers in their many dealings. The officers for the first and second terms were the following: Prewitt Duncan and Lowell Flint, president; Lowell Flint and Chuck Abbarr, vice-president; Loie Heavilin, secretary; Ruth Harris, treasurer; A1 Fletcher and Ben Drown, Chaplain; Glen Ra¬ der and Larry Hughes, Sports Captain. (■ THE CHOIR Dusty, dusty risers and hot, hot robes are only a very small part of the choir’s memories. The unsurpassed thrill of singing the great anthems— cementing new and lasting friendships—entering new areas of Wesleyan Methodism—tired, aching bodies after a long week end—long, heavily laden dinner tables—genuine spiritual blessing—all these and many others too numerous to men¬ tion are on the list of memories. The purpose of the Marion College Choir is to bring Marion College, and the Christ for Whom it stands, into the local churches throughout the surrounding areas through the medium of music. The Choir combines superb musical training and deep spiritual feeling. The well arranged program includes numbers of all types, from the soaring anthem to the lively Negro spiritual. This year the choir has traveled throughout Indiana and surrounding states. The annual tour was taken during the Easter season. Under the direction of Professor Herman Ba¬ ker and accompanied by Madelyn Marsh and Janet Douglass the Choir continues its ceaseless work because it believes with Martin Luther— “Music is the art of the prophets, the only art that can calm the agitations of the soul; it is one of the most magnificent and delightful pres¬ ents God has given us.” MUSICAE “I hear music and there . . .” is someone there! The Musicae is the organization for lovers of music. Throughout the year the club has pre¬ sented a number of public programs for the en joyment of the student body, and in order to en¬ hance the interest of the campus in this great art. President, Pat Kessler, and sponsor, Mrs. Parker, have worked as a unit in promoting the interest of the club and in keeping the golden speech of music in the minds and consideration of our con¬ stituency. Members are admitted by tryouts in the fall. ART FORUM Easels, brushes, oils, and looms deck the club- room of the Art Forum. This group who meets together in the interest of one of man’s greatest expressions of beauty, is not only interested in the basic fundamentals of art, but also in the development of a new and deep appreciation for the many phases of its production. Miss Lynn, Art Instructor, proves a very capable and thought¬ ful advisor. The Art Forum has provided interest for the entire student body in the lectures which it hai sponsored throughout the Artist’s Series. ■ fee. FORENSIC CLUB CHORIC SPEECH CHOIR “He who would present himself favorably to his fellow men ... let him speak well!” The Forensic Club endeavors to make its members and others of the campus “speech conscious.” Members, who are admitted by tryouts, find interest in many different phases of public speak¬ ing. Extemporaneous, radio, choric debate, and interpretive, are a few of the fields in which the Forensic Club delights to explore. The 1955-56 Forensic group has been led by President, Bobbie Jean Wood, and Sponsor, Miss Laura Emerson. New members are initiated into the club at the Forensic Club dinner during the Fall Term. Bob Wilmot was the winner of the 1956 Extempora¬ neous Speech Contest. The Choric Speech Choir is composed of the class in Choric Speech. The group presented a very inspiring chapel program under the direc¬ tion of Miss Laura Emerson. The class has discov¬ ered that group reading produces a definite sense of accomplishment and cooperation. The Choric Speech group also gave a presenta¬ tion in the College Church. A keen sense of rhythm, interpretation, and voice development are only a few of the benefits derived from their organized efforts. A wide variety of choral numbers added to the interest and greatly assisted in the well-rounded development of the vocal abilities. PARNASSUS CLUB GERMAN CLUB “Parnassus” means “to give inspiration for writing.” The club is made up of students with English as their major or minor. During the year, periodical meetings of the Parnassus Club seek to promote interest in some great writer whose birthday is at hand, or provide other worthy ave¬ nues of thought. The Poetry Writing Contest and the Essay Con¬ test are sponsored each year by the group. This year the Parnassus Club has placed a bulletin board just outside its clubroom door, in order to keep items of interest in the field of English before the student body. This year’s president has been Charles Hein- lein. The club’s sponsor is Miss Mary Dodd. That group of Marion College students who have chosen German as a field of study, find themselves members of the German Club. Others who have studied the German language previous¬ ly may also become members. The group has found that the study of German is far more than the study of a vocabulary or a group of words—it is the study of a culture and distinct part of the world’s civilization. It is in trying to understand these cultures and unearth some of the innate feelings of the German feeling that the German Club finds its place among the organizations of the school. FRENCH CLUB SPANISH CLUB The lilting, dancing music of the French lan¬ guage is the subject of interest to the members of the French Club. The group seeks to gain a better understanding of the French culture and develop¬ ment of customs so that the language may he richer and more meaningful to them. The periodic meetings of the club enhance the interest of the group’s study. The location of the country, the age-old tradi¬ tions, the modern progress, the educational sys¬ tems, and every day customs have a profound in¬ fluence on the linguistic development of its inhab¬ itants. Members of the French Club are not only learning a new understanding of the French lan¬ guage, hut of the French peoples as well. If you have time to visit the Spanish Clubroom you will find it decorated with tropical plants and bright - colored, woven garments. The Club’s Sponsor who is also Spanish Instructor, Profes¬ sor James Elliot, has spent a number of years with the Spanish-speaking people of South Amer¬ ica. His deep understanding of their cultures and keen interpretation of their needs enables him to impart valuable knowledge to the members of the Club. The study of Spanish, again, becomes more than a study of words or symbols, it is the study of a whole culture and very vital section of our present day civilization. PHYSICAL SCIENCE The fields of physics, chemistry, and mathe¬ matics is far more than numerals, formulas, and equations! Just ask one of the members of the Physical Science Club about the interesting dis¬ cussions and new discoveries they make in their meetings. It ' s a high powered meeting when this group of analytical minds have club time. The group has been guided through another successful year by president. Raymon Elliott, and sponsor, Dr. Porter. If you would like to know the content of that grass blade or the fly leaf of your U. S. History hook, take it right over to the Phys¬ ical Science Club! Just one precaution—be sure to have full coverage on your insurance policy. B. I. O. CLUB The Bio Club, in cooperation with the Na¬ tional Audubon Society, was responsible for the enjoyable and informative films presented dur¬ ing the Audubon Screen Tours. The purpose of the club is to promote interest in the field of biology. Wild life observation, bird watching, and plant classification are only a few of their many and varied activities. The field most of the members of the club have chosen for their college study is some phase of science or biology. They are interested in life . . . and not only are they interested in life, but most of their meetings and outings are full of life! Miss Hodson is faculty sponsor, along with Dr. DeVol. WsK One of the largest departments at Marion Col¬ lege is the Division of Teacher Training. Since there are only one-third enough teachers prepared for the deficiency that is estimated to exist in the next few years, we feel that this is very fitting under God’s call. Since this field is so largely represented, the club that promotes interest in teaching is one of the largest and most active on the campus. Panel discussions, demonstrations, and discus¬ sions held to prepare these students, many of whom are doing practice teaching, for their fu¬ ture vocations. The club has found capable lead¬ ership in president. Betty Calhoon, and sponsor, Dr. C. G. Lawrence. Marion College is privileged to welcome a number of students from other nations to study in her halls. This factor has been one of the great¬ est in promoting interest and creating a purpose for the International Relations Club. During the year the group has presented various speakers and programs from several different countries. As these peoples of various nationalities have passed before and among the student body, we feel that a definite goal has been reached by the club in a deeper understanding and keener inter¬ est in the neighbors of our nation. The president of the I.R.C. Club this year has been Charles Heinlein who has worked with the sponsor, Dr. Allen Bowman. “M” CLUB The lettermen who have the distinguished places as members of the M Club are those fel¬ lows and girls who have worked hard and met the requirements of the Athletic Department for a letter. You will probably recognize them as those who are frequently seen on the gym floor, or the athletic field in various sports and activ¬ ities. The group believes not only in good physical health, but in having fun in maintaining it. Their purpose is to promote the athletic program and keep interest running high. Benny Medows has been president this year with Norm Carter as vice-president. Y. T. C. CLUB Although the number of members is somewhat small, the purpose of the Youth Temperance Council is a very important and noble one. The group works largely in cooperation with other churches of the area in the presentation of dem¬ onstrations and presentations in the interest of Christian temperance. The members of the Club endeavor to keep this phase of the Christian life before the student body and to create a keener interest in its study. Anyone who is vitally interested in the work of temperance leagues is invited to join. The work of the Council is in line with the work of the National organization. THE CHORUS COLLEGE The Community Chorus is the school melting pot. Students, faculty, and neigh¬ bors meet in this friendly group to sing spe¬ cial praises to the Almighty at His special seasons—Christmas and Easter. Under the direction of Professor Herman Baker, the Chorus sang the traditional Han¬ del’s MESSIAH during the Christmas sea¬ son. Soloists were Virginia Wieburg, so¬ prano; Eleanor Baker, alto; Tom Rough, tenor, and Harold Jackson, baritone. Ac¬ companists were Mrs. Joan Degenkolb and Mrs. Ruth Dougherty. During the Easter season the group sang Maunder’s OLIVET TO CALVARY. Hearts were blessed and spirits lifted as the beau¬ tiful rendition of this oratorio turned thoughts upward to the resurrected Christ.
