I x it X X I 55 Head of Chemistry Department DR HERSHEY Chemistry Club Continues Scientific Study Varied and entertaining programs presented by the Chemistry Club throughout the year appeal to a great number of students. This is made pos- sible by the active part taken by Dr. Hershey, permanent president of the Club. Features of special interest sponsor- ed during the year include the annual chemical and electrical demonstration, films and sound pictures, and reviews of books and current scientific articles. Two lectures given by Dr. Hershey proved to be of special interest to stu- dentsg one on radium, and another on the process of making synthetic dia- monds. In the past year Dr. Hershey has gained recognition by leading au- thorities in the scientific world by mak- ing the largest synthetic diamond on record. Annually a supervised trip to Hutch- inson is made by chemistry students which enables them to visit several of the industrial plants of the city. These include the salt mines, the reformatory, a foundry, a bakery, and a candy fac- tory. The outstanding social function of the club was the annual party given by Dr. and Mrs. Hershey. This was held in the Y. W. C. A. There is only one way to get ready for immortality, and that is to love this life and live it as bravely and faithfully and cheerfully as We can. -Henry Van Dyke. 26

World Service Meetings Prove Interesting The World Service group unites all students who want to grow spiritually, work in practical church situations or get experience in any type of activity serving the spiritual needs of others. World Service holds a unique place on the campus in fusng the best scholarship with dynamic religious experience. The result is a genuine Christian approach to life's problems. Group meeting have been especially interesting and beneficial this year. Problems dealing with the Christian ap- proach to life were discussedg and the various forms of Christianity and their views were studied. An extensive study of Missions was a part of the group and during the week of Regional Con- ference Reverend Bonsack of Elgin, Il- linois, spoke to the group and to the Cabinet concerning missions. Special de- votional meetings and vesper services held at intervals proved to inspire mem- bers with a deeper sense of religious truth and service. 27 The World Service Group with the Y organizations was well represented at the Indianapolis Convention this year. The group is not officially a member of the Student Volunteer Organization but the two are similar and it is thought that our group will be affiliated with the larger group next year. The new program committee is striv- ing to centralize programs on the prep- aration for summer work in the home churches. In this way help will be given to members that will continue to be of practical use to them in future years. Those in positions of responsibility in World Service are exceedingly grate- ful for the fine spirit of cooperation and service prevailing among the group mem- bers and others who have contributed to the success of this organization. As a faithful and inspiring advisor and sponsor, Dr. R. C. Petry deserves spe- cial mention and the sincere gratitude of the World Service Group.
