ERN l 9 4 l From the time the familiar lNfIcPherson Water tower is sighted from far out on Kansas prairies, to the time when rnortarboard tassels are flicked from right to left, the Quadrangle serves as a record of events in retrospect. To the students and friends of lVIcPherson Col- lege, the staff of the nineteen hundred and forty-one Quadrangle present this book, pub- lished by the Student Council of lWcPherson College, which is located in lVIcPherson, Kansas.

Q-if it Ml, si R DR. . CHWALM PRESIDENT The President is clezul-long live the Presidentli' resouncls once more from Macollege men and Women, for President Schwalm leaves lx'IC1jl1Cl'S01'l College after completing years of uneeasing service. He envisioned great clrezuns. 14Ie saw those clrezuns -:L new gym graces lx'i2ICil.ff1Pl1SQ arrzuigenients for fourteen fulfilled the new boy's dorm are completedg new profes- sors with advanced degrees strengthen the facultyg and accreditation with the North Central Association is a reality. These achievements stand a memorial to him. Our President encourages all with words of wisdom. He beams with genialityg he loves mankind. No stu- dent leaves lNIcPherson College with- out feeling that Dr. Schwalm is his per- sonal friend. Dr. Schwalm has been a beacon of intellect in the Kansas educational field. IIis understanding of administrative problems proves the high esteem with which his colleagues regard him. IIe is a pillar of strength where education enters and gives himself untiringly to his work. DEAN I. W. BQITNCTT To the dean falls many of the hard spots of college managementg but Dean Boitnott has been II101'C than equal to the task. A few years have seen Macollege advance far in the field of education. Much of this work has been due to John VV. Boitnott. He administers capably, for he is scrupu- lous in keeping data and records. At heart, Dean Boitnott never fails to keep his word. In the classroom he teaches progressive methods of educa- tion. In his office he counsels lNIac0l- lege men and women with the experi- ence of many years to rely on. lVIan to man, he is a genial, likeable personality. He believes that he has a niche to fill, and he fills that niche. THE DEAN THE EAC LTY DEAN QE MEN Wlietlier you want a job or an eveningis frolic, Professor Dell tries to get you what you want. So long as sincerity and earnestness are expressed in your appeal, you register on his sympathies. He is a rabid exponent of Macollege quality. Believing firmly that a student is able to manage his own affairs, nevertheless Dean Dell believes that capable counseling should be at hand. Sponsor of several clubs, backer of in- dustrial craftsmanship as a fine art, he searches for the great truths to pass on to others. DEAN OE WCDMEN Be the Problem great or small, it makes no difference to Dean Shockley, for she handles them all. Ever alert and vigorous, she strives toward new goals for Macollege. She is modernistic in her views from which she can't be shaken. Vivacious and witty, she likes to study people and human behavior. She strives to discover motives, or the reasons why people do the things they dog Dean Shockley believes more ready counsel comes from understanding peoples motives. Whether on campus or off, Dean Shockley is ever ready with a pleasant, friendly smile for all. ESTHER ATKINSON DESMOND W. BITTINGER JOSEPH L. BOWMAN Wielder of pots and pans, seamstress of excellence, cook for all, even herself, she guides the destiny of her classes and keeps the dining hall from hunger-strikes. A writer of great promise, an authority on African life, a firm believer in fellowship of all mankind, he lives his Christian ideals as he teaches them. A calculator of angles, areas, figures, lines, a delver into caliginous space, a juggler of atoms, he personifies friendli- ness and geniality through a ready smile to all. , Traveller of Wide experience, advertiser of Macollege qual- ity, philanthropist at heart, he insures a steady flow of funds for maintenance Of a balanced budget. Mainstay of fine artistry, dc- veloper of master pupils, ex- ponent Of technical skill and precision, quiet and unassum- ing in manner she does not pass by unheralded. Creator of graceful lines in use of Oils, paints and pastels, correlator Of fine painting with creative living, she brushes away the cares of life to produce Works of art. A lover of classical music, a recognized composer, creator of cultured voices, his hand rhythmically guides the des- tiny Of the A Cappella choir and the Men's Quartette. Manager of financial affairs, buyer of collegiate supplies, keeper of bank accounts, he grows more and more grey headed balancing accounts for student and college alike. l J ESSIE BROWN CLARA COLLINE l NEVIN W. FISHER W. EARL BREON J. HOWARD Firms THOMAS HAYDEN MARGARET HECKETHORN CLAXTON I'lELMS Body-builder of strong man- hood, example of physical fit- ness to classes, he worries during football and basket- ball seasons until track gives him a chance to escape his troubles. Staunch guardian of the stacks, cordial helper in locat- ing material for term-papers, she knows every inch of the library from the gable to the basement floor. Innovator of leisurely read- ing, books-due lists, and con- centrated study methods, he has made the library a scene of industrious study for plea- sure and class work. Maker of diamonds, an au- thority on synthetic gases, an author who inspires greater work in chemistry, he brings technical science down to the level of the classroom. Expert of dextrous keyboard playing, teacher of the art of scales, arpeggios, and oc- taves, she keeps the girls' quartette on the right key, and directs the choral club. Describer of scenery, teller of 'tales of two continents', she brings human interest in- to the classroom and draws from written pages the tales of thousands of years. Patternmaker for stenograph- ers, enroller of students, re- corder of college statistics, she willingly aids in all problems brought to the central office. Sympathetic in his treatment of human problems, under- standing in his interpreta- tion of religion for today, he makes the Bible a real guide- book to Christian living. J. WILLARD HERSHEY BURTON MFTZLER l6 Curator of choice curios, bi- Seller of books, autographer ologist of wide renown, ma- of student receipts, assistant gician with the microscope, coach of the gridiron sport, he knows students and recog- he takes all kinds of money nizes the problems that they for deposit on student or col- faceg his is the answer. lege account.

Hayden CCACHI 1 Possessing finesse and ability, Coach Thomas Hayden came to Macollege last sum- mer to take over the coaching helm. A man highly regarded in coaching circles, he was determined to give McPl1erson College a winning combination. His willingness to work hard inspired the fellows to greater effortsg his love for sports spurred them on and made them appreciate the fine aft of developing physical skill. He treats all with kindness and sympathyg he is ever ready to help make the physical man aid the mental side of life. In but a few weeks Coach Hayden had to solve the problem of familiarizing his players with a new style of play. Lettermen returning for another year had to relearn formations and kb' la 4 ,Z I as assi' 'fun ' i7'i7'.'f5 1 Bucking the dummy Traditional fresh duty strategy. Newly arrived frosh or first-year men had to acquaint themselves with the rug- ged brand of collegiate sport. ln the gridiron sport, Coach Hayden insti- tuted the short-punt formation style as his offensive strategy. On defense, he applied the traditional style. ln basketball, a fast break, sublimated with a tricky system of plays, offset a round-robin type of floor management. A man to man defense was used with telling ef- fects. Coach Hayden possesses the genius for turning out winning combinations, and a few years will prove the worth of his system in Macollege. His boys are enthusiastic workers and can he relied on to do their best for their coach. The student body backs their coach to the limit, for they appreciate his excellent ac- complishments in the field of good sportsman- ship. It's a pass in Out for pigskinning practice the Big Game FOOTBALL Although handicapped by insufficient time before the grid season began, Coach Thomas Hayden left a good record as football coach his first year at lVlcPherson. Harassed by a lack of reserve strength, Hayden whipped together one of the most dangerous aggregations in the conference. VV'ith a fairly successful season behind them, the Bulldogs are already looking for- ward to next season, having lost only three gricimen by graduation-Raymond Cwoering, Rollin Waiiaiiiaker, and Glenford Funk. A broken arm forced Irwin Keck, a fourth Senior, from active duty early in the season. A dark-horse iVIcPherson College team Comes night . . . and sizzling hutdogs opened its 1940 Kansas Conference season by defeating the mighty Ottawa University Braves -who, Previously dominating the conference for three consecutive years, lost their first con- ference game since 1937. McPherson con- trolled tlie game all the way, the battle ending with the Bulldogs in possession of the ball on the Braves one-yard stripe and two downs re- maining to make six more points, in this game Irwin Keck, outstanding back, depend- able for his steady play, suffered a fractured arm and was lost to the Bulldogs for the season. The final score: McPherson 6, Ottawa 0. On the Friday following their decisive Ottawa victory, the Bulldogs traveled to Baldwin to meet their second conference op- ponents, the Baker University Wildcats M wt? li H1123 .Q X,x B z - -,,-:Tm .1 ' N i ,, x.., age, if ' B - 7 s.sasawaaar,,,.l.aaaHwastrlW asaaaaNa,,,a,swaaWamm laapapfg Musk ,,A. av Rollin Wanamaker Raymond Goering Witli the sun heating down on them unmerci- fully, the Bulldogs met the Wildcats on equal footing. lack Vetter, Macollege backfielcl star, played one of his great games as he crashed through for extra yardage time after time. During the first half McPl1erson threatened upon several occasions with powerful drives which characterized their play the entire sea- song but they faltered when touchdowns were within grasp. Countering with two long passes and a pass interception, the Wildcats finally emerged victors. The final score: Mc- Pherson o, Baker 19. Before a large home crowd, the Bulldogs bounced back into the thick of the conference scrap with a victory over che hard-fighting Bethel College Graymaroons the following week. The Canines completely out-maneu- vered the Graymaroons during the first half, and at the intermission led 9 to o. During the last quarter they staved off a desperate Bethel Russell Remecker Calvin Jones Glen Funk Raymond Meyer rally to win. The final score: Mcplierson 9, Bethel 6. The following week the Bulldogs traveled to Lindshorg, meeting their rivals to the north, the Bethany College Swedes. The game turn- ed out to be an another close Swede-Bulldog battle with a scoreless tie imminent, however, l-larry Peterson, all-conference Bethany end, made a fluke Pass interception as the hall left the hand of lack Vetter and dashed sixty yards for the only touchdown of the game. The final score: Mcplierson o, Bethany 5. ln a conference game at Emporia on a wet and tricky field, the Bulldogs pushed the Col- lege of Emporia Presbies all over the gridiron for the greater part of the game, but lacked the necessary scoring Punch.

The high-geared, champion Kansas Wes- leyan Coyotes whipped the Bulldogs in their last game of the season to clinch the conference title with no defeats. Witli unlimited reserve strength, the Coyotes met a stubborn Bulldog eleven during the first half of the game. At half-time the Coyotes were ahead 6 to o, the period ending with the Bulldogs on the Coyotes six-yard stripe. Wesleyan sent in several re- serve teams and began their second half romp as the Bulldogs tired. The game broke a seven year winning streak which the Bulldogs held over the Coyotes. The final score: McPl1er- son o, Kansas Vxfesleyan 37. The Bulldogs did not fare so well in their games with powerful teams from the central conference. if, Irvin Keck Bob Cook In their first game of the season, the Bull- dogs met the powerful Southwestern Nlound- builders at the home stadium and fought them on fairly even terms throughout the sixty minute contest. Typical of early-season games, both teams fumbled many times, thereby los- ing several fine opportunities to score. The Bulldogs outgained their opponents throughout the game, but they lost the contest when the lylounclbuilders threw a long pass over the heads of the secondary to score the only touch- down of the game and the point after. The final score: McPl1erson o, Southwestern 7. A crippled Bulldog eleven surprised the dopesters by weathering a blistering attack of the strong Pittsburg Gorillas, their third Central Conference foes, holding them to two touchdowns in the first three quarters of play. Team after team of big Gorillas, all of equal strength, trotted on the field to oppose the Bulldogs. ln the fourth period Coach Hayden Wilbur Bullinger Eddie Leonard Milo Unruh Junior French Merlin Myers JJ I g- - .as.- me 5 G'f.2i i'il E. an .33-3' 'QQ-. if 1' av .. gg. 5 u,,.,u, 4-4 . .-. as . -v- P ,, .

Coach Hayden substituted freely in the contest with I-lays State, another Central Con- ference opponent, in an attempt to estimate the ability of his rookies. The Canines fell before the powerful attack of their foes, although they Put up a stubborn fight. The final score: McPherson o, Hays State 32. Raymond Squeak'i Meyer, all-conference center his freshman year, again ranked on the official all-conference first team in recognition of a splendid season. lack Vetter, McPher- son's star backfield man, Raymond Dutch Goering, veteran guard, and Russell Reinecker, husky tackle, received various all-conference ratings. Iunior French, freshman end, gained mention on some elevens. Seventeen players received 1940 awards, monogram winners including Rollin Wana- maker, Glenferd Funk, Irwin Keck, Raymond Goering, Robert Brust, Raymond lvleyer, Robert Cook, Richard Callen, Calvin Iones, lack Vetter, Thayles Matipin, Russell Rein- ecker, Edward Leonard, Milo Unruh, Iunior French, Wilbur Bullinger, and Merlin Meyers. Injuries, especially in the backfield, hamp- ered the Bulldogs to a great extent. Glenferd Funk, four-year letterman and greatest passing artist in the conference, and Robert Brust, a junior, were slowed down greatly by knee in- juries. Other season-long injuries were a hindrance to Raymond Meyer, Raymond Coer- ing, and Russell Reinecker, although all three played ball which garnered them conference honors. Three years a letterman, Ray- mond DutchN Goering was a real sparkplug in the motor of the Bulldog team. He overcame injuries to spur on the team to greater heights. Playing more time this year than anyone else, he was a great defensive Player and a good of- fensive lineman. A natural lead- er, he put the fight into the team. Elected unanimously by the players, his captaincy was an- nounced at the annual M Club banquet. K X , Zyl 1' An 914 I fl' I ff' C' 5. .3, .df ns. The Coyotes howl . . . and the Bulldogs bark .... . at the Kansas Wesleyan game. -'l With a new coach and a new system of basket- ball at Mzlcollege this year, the stock of the Bull- dog aggregation mounted sharply as the season got into full swing. Workiimg out a pace-setting style of Play, Coach Hayden instilled into the team the desire to win the conference champion- ship and show their true worth. Witlm two lean years staring him in the face, BA were evident from the smooth style of Play shown throughout the season. With his eyes ever on the future, Coach Hay- den developed a team char on many nights looked like conference championsg but, because of lack of experience, the team could not maintain the pace necessary to win a conference championship. The Bulldogs finished fifth in the conference, T he lively enthusiasm and the pep which the crowd showed, proved that the Bulldogs had the thrills to offer. Not only were the students en- thusiastic, but also the business men and the townspeople supported the team with great excite- ment. Ar many of the games the fans were jit- tery and on edge due to the closeness of the con- test. The season, as it developed, turned out to be rather hectic at times. The close score of many games indicates that the team had the goods to deliver, but just couldn't seem to put on enough pressure to win in the final minutes of play. In six of the ball games, the Canine cagers lost the contest by a margin of three points or less. The Bulldogs opened the season at Eldorado against a very strong junior college five. With several freshmen in the line-up, the Canines won this game by the narrow margin of two points. Followers of the team began to pep up their talk and to look for a team with championship aspira- tions. In the return game played on the home court, the Macollegiaiis lost to the strongest junior college team in the SEIIEC by a limit of eight points. The Bulldogs put up a scrappy game only to lose in the final minutes of play. During the Christmas vacation, the Bulldogs participated in an invitation tournament at Bethany College. Here they lost two games and won one, although they showed their true caliber in these contests. They defeated Bethel College, but lost to Friends University and Bethany both by close scores, the margin being but two and three points respectively. Soon after the close of the vacation, the cagers invaded the home of the Bethany Swedes. Work- ing to perfection and showing their championship form, the Bulldogs kept the score closely matched throughout the contest, only to lose in the final seconds of play. Soon after this game, the Wesleyfan Coyotes invaded the kennel. In the first half the Bulldogs beat the Coyotes at their own game of fire-de- partmenti' basketball, at the half they held a seven point lead, but again they waned in the closing minutes and lost the contest after play- ing a grand game. In the first game after the beginning of the second semester, the Bulldogs invaded Newton to play Bethel. Duke Holmes, '38 letterman, became eligible for this game. Witli Duke, paving the way, the Bulldogs won an easy nine- point victory. ln a return game later in the week, the Canines were forced into an overtime period to defeat the Bethelites. Looking like champions, the Bulldogs kept even pace with the Baker Wildczits in the next home game. But, with ten seconds remaining in the ball game and Baker in the lead, the Bull- dogs got the ball out of bounds, it was tossed to French who shot a long, arching side shot tying up the game. The Bulldogs couldnit quite stretch A tense moment and u jump near the basket . . . action The whistle shrieks and two bodies flash upward . . . the game goes on . . . enough and so lost the game in the overtime period by one point. ln the season finale, the strong Fort Hays team invaded Nlcluherson doped to win by a big margin. However the Bulldogs put on all steam and kept the tutors at edge throughout the con- test. Until the closing minutes, Fort Hays was unable to penetrate the tight defense put up by the Macollegians. An upset loomed in sightg but Hays gradually put on a spurt to win a thrilling game by one point. The Bulldogs played cham- pionship style during this game, and kept the spectators in suspense most of the night. Such a game was a tribute to the team and the coach, it was a great finale. ln the scoring for the season, lunior French, a freshman with great athletic ability, lead the pack, scoring 147 points in twenty games, Fol- lowing this, Arthur Schubert tallied 139 points and Robert Brust scored 96 points from the guard position. All in all, The Bulldogs proved that they had the scoring ability, but they just couldn't capitalize on the breaks of the game. A The Bulldogs scored a total of 694 points in twenty ball games to average 34 points per game Although no Macollegian eager made the all- conference team, several players did receive all- conference mention. Arthur Schubert placed on the second team, and Robert Brust and lunior French received honorable mention for their out- standing work on the team. Coach Hayden recommended nine men for basketball monograms. Only one senior earned a letter: Rollin WHllHlll3kCl', outstanding in Ma- college athletics for four years. Three juniors, Robert Brust, Calvin lones, and Raymond lvleyer, received letters. Arthur Schubert, lake Cramer, and Vernon Holmes were sophomores gaining letters. Freshmen earning basketball letters for the first time were lunior French and Lee Unruh. Ar their annual banquet held in a downtown hotel, the cagesters elected Rollin Wanamaker for their honorary captain. Vernon Duke Holmes, sophomore letterman, was chosen to lead the Bulldogs through their 1941-42 season. ln order to give underclassmen experience, Coach Hayden organized a reserve team which won five games and lost five games to second teams of other colleges. The reserves were com- posed of Lowber, Thompson, and Burkholder at forward positionsg Prentice and Hill at centerg and lVlilo Unruh, Sies, Tarn, and Finfrock at guard spots. For his team next year, Coach Hayden will have a nucleus of eight lettermen as well as a large group of reserves to choose from. All Macollege rooters look forward to a championship season for the coming year under the skillful coaching of Thomas Havden, Bulldog mentor.

Bethany was the only pitfall for the Bulldog netmen last year. Improving steadily, the Bulldogs defeated Hutchinson Iunior College, Kansas Wesleyaii University, and Bethel College in later dual meets. Before meeting the Macollege racket- swingers, Bethel was considered the strongest squad in the western half of the conference, since it had previously beaten Bethany in two dual meets. Captain and top singles player on the squad was Carroll Crouse, a senior who lettered four years. Qther singles players who starred last year were Ernest Reed, Albert Whitmore, Doubles team Jones and Crouse. Reed. Whitmore WCSlC3' DeCoursey, and Burns Stauffer. Teaming together to make the top doubles team were Carroll Crouse and Calvin lones. This team was the only representative of the local squad at the conference tennis tournament, after surviving the rigorous elimination of the western regionals held in Mcplierson. Ernest Reed and Wesley DeCoursey, Play- ing as the other doubles team, made a strong bid in the regionals, only to lose a three-set match to Bethel's top doubles team. Of last year's squad, Crouse and DeCoursey were seniors, Reed and Wllitniore, juniors, and Stauffer and lones, sophomores.

The MH club, men's athletic organization of Macollege, requires its eligible members to have earned at least one monogram in some intercollegiate sport, to be enrolled in at least twelve hours of regular college work, and to participate in initiation and other urequestsf' The influence of this organization is felt constantly in almost all realms of campus life. The men share actively in all phases of social and scholastic life. It is largely through the efforts of this sturdy group that such fine school spirit exhibits itself at Mcplierson College.

The theme was airplane in style, with all members being taken for the well-known ride One of the club's most ardent fol- lowers, Homer Ferguson, kept the members of the club in high spirits while acting in the capacity of toastmaster. The club was honored by having Hobbs Adams, football coach at Kansas State College, for their guest speaker. The M Club group comprises men who come to college with athletic 'talents to offer as well as a desire for education. They are stalwarts among college men. To create a friendly spirit between athletes and other stu- dents has been the purpose of the club, headed by Glenferd Funk, assisted by Rollin Waxma- makcr, vice-president, Robert Brust, secretary- treasurer, and Thomas l-layden, club sponsor. Among the many activities sponsored directly by the MH Club are the sale of fresh- men caps at the beginning of the year and the sale of refreshments which appease the appe- tites of spectators at home games.

CLUB Dust the cobwebs out of your eyes, girls, grab your breakfast, and come along in the early morning for a breakfast hike. Or else, hop upon a bicycle and pedal over the rolling prairie lands for an invigorating bit of recrea- tion. Thus, the VVomen's Athletic Association sponsors outdoor sports for extra-lively coeds. To fill out the well-rounded collegiate cur- riculum, the association provides sports for these lively coeds. The purpose is to promote the ideals of health, to stimulate interest in the participation of athletic programs, and to create a spirit of good sportsmanship. Many interesting activities for every sports- minded girl prevail in this wide awake club: volleyball, basketball, tumbling, softball, ten- nis, badminton, ping-pong, bowling, shuffle- 50 board, to list a few of the many activities. Wlieil worst comes to worst in outdoor recreation, even snow does not stop these girls, for they always look forward to the next hike. Exciting tourna- ments also took a firm hold on the girls' inter- est, especially as the ping-pong tournament and the round-robinn basketball contest came to a close. Active members of the club must partici- pate in two seasonal clubs or one yearly club. Wortlawliile friendships with other colleges and universities were effected through the Volleyball Playday held in the gym with Robin Hood and his merry band as guests of honor. Later in the year a volleyball team was sent to Southwestern College for a playclay of inter- collegiate competition. The final celebration was the annual for- mal banquet attendecl by all members of the club and their guests. PEP LUB The sound of ''grrr--rah--Bulldogs,' an- nounced that the exuberant, enthusiastic Pep club once more was stepping into fast action. A prelude to the Southwestern Nlound- builder game featured the spectacular lights outi' on the football field as players stepped into the spotlight and were announced over the public address system. The club demonstrated its hilarity and arm tugging at the human Snake-dance which wound its way through the entire downtown business district. Gales of laughter swept from spectators when a conglomeration of colors, and Grandpa's night clothes flashed byg it wasn't a style showy it was only the annual Pajama Parade. Following the evening's frolic, student and faculty alike rested in the com- fortable cushions of one of the theatres. The club played an active part in the gala Homecoming celebration, indicating the spirit which prevailed among che pepsters. All will remember poor Olie the Swede , burned by Bulldog Boosters to the tune of Mc-pli-er-son at a huge pep rally the night before the Swede-Mc tangle. Ar one of the pep Chapels Geisert defiantly stated to his worthy opponent, Crill, that after adding dainty ruffles to the basketball uniforms, bustles would be the next stepl Pascal Davis, tooting performers made the pep Chapels more lively and vital to students. A section of white sweaters encouraged sup- port of the athletic program. Such activities helped make Nlacampus more interesting.

Miller, Spohn, Mohler, Beckncr, Davis, Wiggins, Wampler, Olwin, Shockley, Fries Organized for the purpose of promoting good fellowship and cooperation among women students both on and off campus, the VVomen's Council assists the Dean of Vlfomen in under- standing and interpreting problems of the girls and in suggesting ideas for improvement. Most notable of its successes was its amal- gamation with the WOIIICHVS Council in fos- tering the Formal Dinner held annually in the Parlors of the college church. The resources of the council have been so unified that every man will find the more abundant life in the activities of Macollege. Some of the successful efforts in forwarding this purpose of the council were a tea in the fall, Campus Sister Week, Heart Sister Week, Easter Parade, Valentineis Party, and the Formal Dinner given with the Men's Council for all students and f21CLlllCy members.

Fourteen men in classy tuxedos and sixteen 8 Director Nevin Fisher women in resplendent black and white evening gowns give their first public concert after five months of intensive, diligent practice. Follow- ing the concert, choir members and their guests retired to a local hotel for their annual dinner carried out this year in the theme of the French song, Claire de Lunef' Thirty finely blended voices of the best musical talent on Nlacanipus comprised the A Cappella Choir. During the program at the banquet, the choir members presented Professor Fisher with a beautifully engraved life-time fountain pen, in appreciation of his excellent-worlc in conducting the choir. Formerly the choir paid its own way for all trips that it took, but this year it balked at such a proposal, insisting that the college should assume all obligations for which the choir was indebted. Thus the administration took over the project of planning paying trips among the districts so that no financial losses would be incurred from the costs of taking a tour. The A Cappella Choir did not take any trips to sing at near-by churches and local or- ganizations during spring vacation. The choir proposed a trip for Easter vacation, but plans did not materialize, since most of the churches already had planned their programs for the lenten season. in retribution for the non-Easter journey to the churches in the region, a four-day trip to Southeast Kansas was taken. Profits from the tours-if any profit should exist-go into a so-called tour fund from which the choir draws at any time to go on its singing journeys. in conjunction with several of the local musical organizations, the A Cappella helped to present the great oratorio, Redemption, by Charles Counod, at Easter time. Professor Fisher conducted the rendition presented in the community building the evening of Sunday, April zo. The choir has participated for a number of years in this work which has come to be a tradition among local groups. The two varsity quartettes sang for church groups, local organizations and clubs, and acti- vities in the city. Niembers of the A Cappella composed the two quartettes. Both made sev- eral trips to Iowa and near-by points of interest in Kansas. With the completion of another successful season, the A Cappella Choir looks forward to another equally successful season next year and in the years to come. New choirs come, and old choirs gog but Mzicollege quality choirs continue forever. A CAPPELLA CHOIR Lunkley, Schmidt, Hoover, lkenberry, Donnelley, Blough, Frantz, Pierce, Klotz.

Compositions by lohann Sebastian Bach, Nobel Cain, and Stephen Foster are well-known favorites. On several occasions the choral club sang short groups of selections for special chapel programs. During Regional Conference a joint program was presented with the A Cap- pella choir. Witli the latter organization, the club held several joint rehearsals in preparation for Charles Cvounodis famous oratorio, The Redemptionn, presented Sunday evening, April 20, in the city auditorium by combined choruses of the Nlcpherson community. - Row 1.

The program soloists-Wilbtii' Bullinger, Lorenc Olson, Alma Bretches, and Estelle Bacon- enriched varied and enlightening groups of selections. Revived after one year's absence, the Choral Club is one of the 1110511 popular organizations on NIHCLIIIIPLIS. lt's roster includes talented members who will later form the especial ranks of the selected A Cappella choir, as Well as those interested in singing classical music. The club fulfills its purpose in giving op- portunity for developing vocal abilities and affording pleasure in singing. As an incentive for regular attendance the club keeps attend- ance records. To retain membership, no member can exceed a limited amount of absences. Officers elected to serve the organization include WH5fl1C Crist, president, Arlene Nicholson, vice-presiclentg and Leta Beckner. secretary-treasurer. TUDE CHRI TIAN The Student Christian Niovement feels a definite need for an integrating force to pro- perly balance the lives of Niacollegians and en- deavors to Promote those Principles which unify and stabilize life. ln a IHOSE effective way, the movement helps students to maintain friendly, Christian relationships in all their campus associations. The eighteen-member cabinet, directed by co-presidents Lee Nelson and Geraldine Spohn, carried out an educational and inspirational Program. The Student Volunteer Commis- sion, the Creative Leisure Commission, the Student and Personal Relations Commission, and the WoL'ld Affairs Commission-which in the second semester became the commission for training I-li-Y and Girl Reserve leaders- met varied needs of Macollege students. General meetings in their varied nature contributed to vital campus life. From time to time such men as lVIartin Harvey, Paul Bowman Ir., Paul Nloritz, Kirby Page and other outstanding speakers were brought to direct and to inspire student thinking. The S. C. M., also a social-conscious organi- zation, sponsored the watermelon feed, the I-lalowe'en Party, Leap Year Weelc-eiid, and other all-school functions. ln addition to cabinet meetings, several retreats were held to adequately plan and carry on the work of the Student Christian Move- ment.

This verse has become the theme song of many lVlcl7herson College young peo- ple facing the present as well as the future. During the past year the B. Y. P. D. en- deavored to carry out a program stressing ser- vice and worship. The main service project took the form of two bandage rolling socials. The group rolled bandages and sent them to the African mission stations. lViissionaries will use them either on journeys over the country or at mission stations. Various groups rolled 500 bandages, the equivalent of a mile and a quarter of goods. Dr. Bittinger, B. Y. P. D. sponsor, supervised the project. Young people from all over the United States compose the B. Y. P. D. They have brought to the campus their many different talents, and from these the young people built their programs. Besides regular meetings, the group sponsored two programs for adults of the church, a Christmas caroling excursion and 21 combined social and outdoor vesper in the spring. Officers for the year include Richard Burger, Udell, iowa, president, lohn Detrick, Dayton, Ohio, vice-presidentg Eugene Lichty, Water- loo, lowa, secretary-treasurer.

There the band kept up a lively barrage of tunes to keep the spirit of participation alive. Especially was this true at the time of the fall Snake Dance and Pajama Parade. The familiar sound of martial music ac- companied the gridiron followers during the night football games. Wlieimever a bit of pep needed to be injected into the spectators, the band promptly Kturned on the heat'g also the football team received greater encouragement.

Those who were fortunate enough to sur- vive the rigid try-outs-Geisert, McNicol, Oberst, and Slifer-were able to participate in the first Thespian Production of the year, i'You Canit Take It Witli You. After rehearsing with a mad Russian, a ballet dancer, a Xylophone Player, two negroes, a playwriter, and a manu- facturer of fire crackers, the director, Ralph Stutzman, was ready to declare that a minor earthquake, a zoo, or a madhatter's tea would Provide a welcome quiet. For many years the club has looked long- ingly at the Alpha Psi Omega application blanks. This year the Thespian Club fulfilled its long hoped for ambition. Early in the fall a charter was granted to the Thespiansg and five actors and actresses were admitted into the local chapter after a long and harassing initiation. Esther Sherfy, Nlargaret Davis, Donna lean Iohnson, Iohn Derrick, and Paul Dannelley hold the honor of being charter members. A new feature in the club Program was a night of one-act plays. These were directed by club members and acted by non-Thespian students. In this way opportunity was given for student directing as Well as student acting. Had you been around at that time, you would have enjoyed seeing i'Gallant Lady, The Followersf' and URefund. The Thespians unearthed, for their spring production, a play which created much con- troversy in the theater houses of fifty years ago. The club selected l-ienriclc lbsen's famous 'The Doll's Housef, Although lacking the hilarity of You Can't Take It Witli Youf, it nevertheless taxed the abilities of the club and met with much success. Under sponsorship of Mr. Stutzman, the club has been headed by John Derrick, Pres- ident. Additional officers were Donna lean Johnson, vice-presidentg Esther Sherfy, secre- taryg and Paul Dannelley, treasurer. Behind the footlights with the cast of You Can't Take It With You . . .

Student interest in the Spectator was evinced by the hustling, bustling crowd which invariably was to be seen hovering about the Spectator box on Fridays at twelve, the hour for scoops to be released. QUADRANGLE Ea STAFF Besieged on every side by clicking cameras, the students soon knew that there was an annual publication on Nlacampus. Wl1e11 they ventured Warily into the S. U. R. with slicked- down hair and stiff grin, they realized that the Quadrangle was their book for better or for worse. But cameras werenit the only evidence of activity. Production started way back during the summer months, when the editor began to visualize ideas for the I94I Quadrangle. Gradually foggy thoughts disappeared and grand ideas spurred forth in heaps. Finally, the theme resolved itself around the great spirit of the pioneer forefathers who crossed the plains in their prairie schooners.

Against that day, fix in your mind the name of BURGER-BAIRD. It will then be a more important fact to you than dates Chistorical -not the other kindj or irregular verbs or formulae. For while there are other good engravers, there is only one Burger-Baird. Good plates? Yes, the best, and pride in their craftmanship. Prompt with them: too. But the main thing that keeps Burger-Baird the best known name among middle-west en- gravers seems to be-well, call it savvy. It means interest and understanding, not merely for the engravings, but for your larger objectives as well. People seem to like that, and so, no doubt, will you.
