Saturday, October 24, found Oberlin Cam- pus invaded by 900 inquisitive high school students, teachers, parents, and friends who came to participate in High School Day activities from eleven nearby states. Of these, 336 took part in the competition for scholarships, the value of which amounted to 55400. Instead of the usual intercollegiate foot- ball game, the high school students wit- nessed intramural contests, lab demonstra- tions, and an Oberlin Review. Those who cared to remain, took part in the Annual Campus Carnival which was held that evening under the big top erected between Warner and Peters. Late that evening special busses were crowded with sleepy high school boys and girls over-laden with toy-balloons, canes, and candy dolls. ' The Y. M. C. A. has held Wednesday night square dances regularly in Warner Gymna- sium in an. effort to revive interest in the fast-dying folk dances of our country- Grapevine Twist, Ducky Dive, Ocean Wave. The large attendance has attested their success. 'Ns-X During the month of October the W. A. A. made an effort to demonstrate to the students the three techniques of the mod- ern dance by the work and lectures of four artists of the modern dance, Conna Bell Shaw, Lillian Shopero, Katherine Litz, and Jose Limon.

Ori Tuesday, October l3, Richard Bonelli Came to Oberlin. Bonelli, once a student of mechanical engineering at Syracuse, Uni- versity, was advised to take up singing. Reluctantly Bonelli studied singing for some Years merely as an avocation, working at odd iobs here and there at the some time, S0 that he could continue his education. When the opportunity came to sing in opera Bonelli was ready to take it, and in i932 he 5lQI'1ed a contract with the Metropolitan Opera Company. According to a well-known reviewer here is one of the world's voices handled by One of the most intelligent and inspired Of men. ln the death of Doren Lyon, Oberlin Col- lege has lost a most faithful and highly val- ued worker . . . He was perpetually genial and splendidly cooperative . . . He was a good workman, a good chief, a good col- league, a good companion. He lived a good life, and will be remembered in affection and in honor. -Ernest H. Wilkins. ' X. K V ,A U ,,,,--fr' . . ' wi f W x A 'X K 'sxxsw . xW KNHX ' A . xcg-r V CX Q gs - gsxg V .

As Oberlin Goes, So Goes Not the Nation is the new slogan given the students of Oberlin. First in our Mock Convention we nominate the wrong man . . . one who does not even care to run . . . and a New Dealer at that, and in the election straw vote we pick a man who got the worst licking of any president. Oberlin was Republican in a year when the country went more Democratic than ever before. But then, Oberlin has been traditionally Republican since Lincoln's day. The boxes on this D096 Compare the votes of Oberlin with those of the nation and the state.
