To narrate the nat- ural life of Christ is to narrate a life of hardships, of pov- erty, and of sacrifice. He ivas born of peasant pareyits, and was cradled in a lowly man- ger. Our finite minds cannot fathom this humble birth of the King of Glory, but the infinite God had planned it. As Christ was born into this world, even so must Christ be born into the human heart to insure life everlasting, which is one of the cardinal teach- ings of our Church of the Nazarene. Page Seven Ghrist in the temple Of Christ ' s last three years upon earth we have a detailed account, but of his boyhood ive know very little. The veil is lifted, and we catch a glimpse of him as a boy twelve years of age in the temple reasoning tvith the doctors. His thirst for knowl- edge for the first time had an opportunity for satisfac- tion. It ivas there that his anxious parents found him, after they had been seeking him all day. His answer to the reproachful question of his mother lays bare what thoughts were uppermost in his mind, Wist ye not that I must be about my father ' s business? It appears that even as a boy, Christ realized he tvas the Messiah. I ' liuc Liiulil Ghrist as a Garpenter Christ ivas not acquainted tuith sin in his own soul, but in the town of Nazareth where he spent his boyhood days he had a full exhibition of the awful problem with which he was to deal. He was brought into contact with hu- man nature by his work as a carpenter in his father ' s shop. Later, tvhen he began his ministry, the townsmen were astonished and asked, Is not this the carpenter? It would be difficult to exhaust the sig- nificance of the fact that God chose the lot of a working man for his son as prepara- tory for his ministry. But it stamped man ' s common toils with everlasting honor. It caused him to see man as he is, and helped to give Christ a compassion which aided him in his dealings with man later in his life upon earth. Pci ic Nine (Baptism of Ghrist John, the rugged forerun- ner of Christ, little realized as he was preaching about the coming Messiah that he ivould come to be baptized of him. But one day there appeared among his hearers one ivho particularly attracted his at- tention, and made his voice, which had never faltered, when he was accusing even the highest teachers and priests of the nation, tremble with self-distrust. John drew back when Christ declared he 2vas a candidate for baptism. But John obeyed the voice of Jesus. God, the Father, looked over the battlements of heaven and voiced his approval of his Son. To Jesus the baptism had an important significance. It meant that he tvas now enter- ing through a door into a new epoch, of which he Himself was to be the Author. It ex- pressed his sense that the time had come to leave behind the employments of Nazareth and devote himself to his pe- culiar work. Ten temptation o Ghrist Christ ' s mind was now in a tumult of crowding thoughts and feelings. Accordingly he hastily retreated from the banks of the Jordan driven by the Spirit into the wilder- ness to remain there for forty days. During those days his soul was the scene of a mem- orable struggle. He was tempted of Satan. The Jews tvere expecting the Messiah to come who would tvork daz- zling wonders and establish a world-wide empire. Jesus was tempted to yield to some of these expectations in carrying out the plan of the Father. The different temptations were only modifications of this thought. But it is no sin to be tempted. It is sin to yield to temptation. Christ commanded Satan, Get thee behind me, and emerged from the wilderness with the plan of his life hardened in the fire of trial. Page Eleven . . .

Oh ! tell me, I said, rapid stream of the valley, That bear ' st in thy course the blue waters away, Can the joys of life ' s morning awake but to vanish, Can the feelings of love be all doom ' d to decay? An echo repeated — All doom ' d to decay. Flow on in thy course, rapid stream of the valley, Since the pleasures of life we so quickly resign, My heart shall rejoice in the wild scenes of nature And friendship ' s delights, while they yet may be mine. Must all the sweet charms of mortality perish, And friendship ' s endearments — ah! will they not stay? The simple enchantments of soft-blooming nature, And the pleasures of mind — must they too fade away? The Echo slow answered — They too fade away. Then where, I exclaimed, is there hope for the mourner, A balm for his sorrow, a smile for his grief? If beautiful scenes like the present shall vanish, Where, where shall we seek for a certain relief? Oh ! fly, said my soul, to the feet of thy Saviour, Believe in His mercy, for pardon now pray; With Ilim there is fulness of joy and salvation. Thy gladness shall live, and shall never decay! The Echo said sweetly — Shall never decay. — Anonymous. Pane Fourteen Administration Christ the (food Shepherd The word pictures in the Bible of Christ as the good shepherd exhibit his tender- ness toward the weak, his con- cern for the lost, and his love for all. In a parable Christ tells of a shepherd who had one hundred sheep. One night the shepherd discovered that only ninety-nine sheep had passed into the fold and that one was missing. He went out and found the lost sheep caught in a bush on the moun- tain-side, and lovingly lifted it to his bosom and bore it safely to the fold. This is a true picture of Christ, who is not only a tender, sympathetic shepherd in caring for his sheep, but is also one who searches after any sheep that goes astray and brings it back to his fold. Pni e Fifteen (Break, (-Break, (Break Break, break, break- On thy cold gray stones, O Sea ! And I would that my tongue could utter The thoughts that arise in me.

We have record of one who was far superior to these be- cause of his depth of qual- ity. We have account of the Christ delivering his wonderful sermon on the mount. He went up into a moun- tain and when he ivas set, he opened his mouth and taught them. ' ' ' That which follows so far surpasses hu- man effort that we stand in awe in its presence. This discourse embodies all the essentials of jurisprudence to the p r e s en t, all the beauty of fine art ever ex- pressed, and all the neces- sary elements of natural life. l J age Twenty-nine Seniors Class Motto : Know Thy Opportunity Class Flower: Pink Carnation Class Colors: Pink and White President: MR.

EARSEN, Sponsor 9i arewe 11 Having finally attained our goal as full-fledged, dignified seniors, we pause to look back upon the annals of the past. On September 14, 1929, just twenty-five college freshmen registered at Olivet. They placed Fred Hawk at the helm and Mary Birchard as his assistant, and chose Eaverne Trentledge to fill in as chief pilot. Six of that class became married and failed to finish the voyage, and a few of the others have dropped out. We sincerely sympathize with these, but we know they will always cherish fond memories of old Olivet College. It is with some degree of sadness that we leave our school. We are some- what hesitant about doing so. I ' ut life with all of its diversities is out before us. Viewing the past from our point of vantage, we recall man}- incidents, some pleasant and others unpleasant; still from both we have learned much that will help us in the days to come. We are taking our leave of our Alma Mater, thanking her for her blessings and kindnesses. We hope that she will prove to be as good a foster mother to many other young men and women as she has been to us. Tn k Sen [ok Class.

Education is all that which tends toward the development and the elevation of the physical, the mental, and the moral nature of man. There are two worlds, the outer and the inner, the visible and the invisible. In both oi these worlds man lives and moves and has his being, and both are alike subject to the law of education. Education is a twofold process, applicable to all the different natures of man. It consists of the subjective and the objective ; we learn and we are taught. Every man, says Gibson, has two educations: one which he receives from others, and one — the more important- -which he gives himself. Both result in life, and the better the education the more abundant the life which follows. Edu- cation begins with life ; it is the purpose of life, the means toward its destiny. The philosophy of life has been that truth for which sages have searched for countless ages. To know how to live and what to live for is the most important knowledge to be acquired by man. Fortunate indeed are they who find this talis- man ; and thrice fortunate is the man who by his efforts demonstrates its truth. The greatest education is the education of the soul ; the greatest life the life of love; the divinest inspiration, the grandest truth is the brotherhood of man, the fatherhood of God. Human nature is the same the world over. It comes down through the centuries unaltered, subject to the same passions, surrounded by the same temptations. We grow out of the little into the great, out of the evil into the good. Men are more liberal than ther were ; they think and feel more broadly and more deeply; the spirit of love is diffusing, and we are striving to educate ourselves toward the higher things of life. Real education should be directed to the proper appreciation of the oppor- tunities that life offers. And anyone who would uplift boy or girl, man or woman, must show t hat the good, the beautiful, and the true are the dynamic forces that make life worth living. Selected.

I Editorial We have been able to publish this Aurora because of the hearty cooperation of everyone concerned, including the business men of Danville, the administration, the students, and the staff. We appreciate especially the work of Alary Ann Gundy, who helped in the art work, and Wendell McHenry, who assisted in taking snapshots. Many perplexing problems confronted us the first part of the year, but as time went on the problems themselves seemed to bring solutions. We have had certain handicaps, most important of which has been the lack of finances because of the depression, but by good hard work in organizing the book and in cutting expenses we have succeeded in publishing a book of good quality at a mini- mum cost. You have before you the twentieth volume of the Aurora. In the future may it bring to each one fond memories of old Olivet College.

So, as the pass- over drew nigh, he realized his opportunity to present, in terms of the paschal lamb, the atonement he ivas soon to make. He called the twelve for their last supper together, and as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed it, broke it, gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat, this is my body. And he took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; for this is my blood of the New Testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

' ,., ,- I ' ifty zHe c lo)hom a ream 3iath (possessed By Lawrence H. Howe Youth is the time for preparation. A call to the Christian ministry, or to any type of reli- gious activity, is a call to preparation. These adages have long been with us, but in the light of the fourth decade of the twentieth century they take on a new meaning. On the one hand there is the increasingly complex scientific and historical methods of study and research, and many other forces that have been brought to play within recent years have produced for us a vastly more intricate and complex world than our forefathers knew. There has been revolu- tion in the realms of learning and of industry, of politics and of religion, until to be a well- trained man and an able leader means vastly more than it ever did before. With the in- creased complexity of life, leadership has at once become more difficult and more necessary. On the other hand our days were never so crowded as now. Youth hears a thousand con- flicting voices. The problem of training oneself for worthy leadership appears to be Herculean, while at the same time there are seductive voices on every side inviting youth into an easier way — a sort of get-rich-quick arrangement carried over into the realm of education; and so it is that in the face of difficulties that seem insurmountable, and in the face of the great uncertainty that exists all about us, many young people are either at a standstill or are moving feverishly about, but really getting nowhere in the matter of their training for a life of future usefulness. The spirit of the age has either paralyzed them or has so confused and carried them away that they are failing to lay a foundation for a genuinely useful life. That, after all, is a greater menace to the future of the church and of the world than all of the international, industrial, social and religious problems put together, for the only hope of the solution of these problems lies in our abilitv to train a new type of individual who will be able to intelligently control and direct these forces in the tomorrows. The clear call oi Christ to consecration and to service comes today as it has always come. The demands for that service are more exacting, it is true, but ( Continued on page K4) Page Fifty our In M em or mm EL1SHA BARKER As the leaves fall from the trees in the autumn, so our friends fall out from among us.

The admin- istration realizes that the majority of the students are Christians and that through every ac- tivity of our school life we are pointed toward that which is good. They also are a w are that there are those in our midst that do not know God. Some have never known our match- less Savior, others have wandered away f r o m t h e straight and nar- row path, and some are wavering souls struggling f o r a firmer grip on spiritual thin g s. Realizing this need of our hearts, our leaders called Evangelist Lum Jones for our fall revival. Rev. Jones had not preached to us long before we learned that he was a man who knew God, a man who had a clear vision of the need of a lost world and was filled with anxiety for our welfare. He soon won bis way into our hearts and received the cooperation of our faculty and student body. People prayed every- where and at all times. Rev. Jones preached and the Holy Spirit was faithful to the hearts of men and women. Old-fashioned conviction settled upon the congregations and many souls found their way to die altar. This meeting was somewhat different in that the so-called hard cases and resisting sinners were touched by the sincerity of the messages. They yielded to the pleadings oi the Spirit and found peace foi their souls. Many were converted, many sanctified, and everyone was stirred and drawn closer to our Savior. Ern est Ferguson. Rev. Lum Jones ' iii i ' Fifty [i i IShe Spring Revival Rev. T. W. WIL- LINGHAM Other activities of school life were set aside and each evening students, townspeople, and others made their way to the school chapel. It was the month of January and the revival was on. For weeks the people of God had persisted in prayer, and God had heard, for already we could feel his presence. Brother Chalfant and our President, Brother Willingham, were the evangelists ; each preached every other night. From the very first service the preaching was very effective, for one had only to glance about him to see that the people were becoming interested. The messages were brought in a heart- searching way, thus bringing on a revival among the Christian people. But very few sinners were kneeling at the altar, and apparently there was little conviction on the ungodly. One morning in chapel President Willingham urged upon us the necessity of minding God, and caused each one to feel more of a responsibility for the soul of his neighbor. Thus the student body accepted the challenge, set about making restitution and confessing their faults one to another, and began to pray more personal prayers. Then the Lord began to work mightily upon those who were not satisfied with their own experience of salvation. It was not long until the altar was lined with seekers, and many prayed through. Truly we had a wonderful spiritual awakening. The live testimonies of the students following the series of meetings indicated that the work was more permanent than usual. This revival spirit came from God to the preachers, then to the students, and now it is echoing through the halls of our buildings and for miles around. Ernest Ferguson. Rev. E. O.

No. He wants a person — a real, live person from Olivet ; a conse- crated person to go and deal with unregenerated man. Can you say with Isaiah, Here am I, send me ? What holy recklessness in those five words ! He did not stop to ask if he was to be sent to the north pole, or the house of his enemy, or down the back al- ley, or to a cannibal island. He was anxious to do some- thing. No questions were asked. He did not say that others were better qualified to do the work. All this is God ' s business. Here am I, send me. Now what did the Lord want Isaiah to do? God did not want Isaiah to help him make worlds or to manage the universe, but to carry the As students going forth, do not retail your wares, or discourse on your lilosophies, but tell to an anxious world what you have seen in the temple out the message God has given to you.

Crossing the Kedron, they reached a well known haunt of Christ ' s at the foot of Oli- vet, the garden of Gethsem- ane. Here ensued the awful and memorable agony. This ivas the final onset of re- demption. It ivas there that Christ sweat great drops of blood. Anguish so intense that any conception of ours must be utterly unable to exhaust its meaning. How, above all, can we estimate in the faintest degree the chief element in it — the crushing, scorching pres- sure of the sin of the world, which he was expiating? But the struggle ended in a complete victory. While the poor disciples were sleeping away the hours of preparation for the crisis which was at hand, he had thoroughly equipped him- self for it; he had fought down the last remnants of temptation; the bitterness of death was past; and he was able to go through the scenes which followed with a calmness ivhich nothing could ruffle. yicademy Pn je Fifty-nine s eniors Motto : A Work, a Life, and a Purpose.

They had brought lanterns and torches with them, thinking they might find their victim crouching in some cave, or that they might have to pursue him through the wood. But he came forth to meet them at the entrance of the gar- den, and they quailed like cravens before his majestic looks and withering words. Judas betrayed him with a kiss.

Immediately following this concert the chorus made a tour which included Villa Grove, Springfield, and Chicago. During the week-end spent in Chicago concerts were given in First Church, Woodlawn, Austin, and North Side Nazarene Churches. In addition to the regular tour the chorus gave concerts in Danville, Illinois, at the First Nazarene Church, the High School Auditorium and in the St. James M. E. Church. They also appeared at the Georgetown M. E. Church and on several occasions in Olivet. Arrangements for the tour and special engagements were made by the concert manager, Mr. J. W. .Moore. Several from the chorus membership were featured as soloists on each con- cert, thus adding great brilliance to the programs. Prof. H. H. Price, baritone, was alwavs enthusiastically received by the audiences in his impressive interpre- tation of The Lord Is My Light. ' Die trombone solos of Mr. Richard Sullivan, which displayed scintillating technique and beautiful tone work, are certainly not soon to be forgotten. A good measure of the Orpheus Chorus ' success this year may be attributed to Miss Naomi R. Tripp, because of her very sympathetic and interpretative accompaniments. This background of accompaniment for the chorus was richly embellished by the violin obligatos of Mr. Wendell McHenry. He appeared as soloist, and also in several delightful violin duets with Miss Mar- garet Bradford. Outstanding choral numbers included O Lord, Send the Fire, and Mas- cagni ' s Prayer, in which the chorus personnel seemed to fairly outdo itself in sincere interpretative powers and brilliant performance. The religious fervor, supported by a personal Christian experience with which these young people sang, enabled them to be a real spiritual blessing to their audiences. It can be said with all sincerity that the members of the chorus were a tremendous inspira- tion to the director in every concert, because of their whole-hearted cooperation. As director of the Orpheus Chorus 1 feel that the main objectives of the organization this year have been accomplished, partially at least: To study and acquire a better appreciation of good music, to give work in vocal ensemble for those interested and capable, to advertise Olivet College, and to be a spiritual blessing through music to those with whom we come in contact.

Page Seventy-one Orchestra Gollege Ghoru s Pattc St ' vcttty-twt Go liege Quartet For several years Olivet has had the tradition of a good men ' s quartet. Until within the last year or so the quartet composed of Fred Hawk, Jack Rodeffer. George Norsworthy and Jerry McConnell were familiar figures in the churches throughout the educational zone, at assemblies, camp meetings, and conventions. Perhaps these four boys were known at sight by more people than were any other four individuals connected with the school. But the old order has changed, as orders do. This year we have John Wesley Felmlee, Jr., Melvin Anderson, Joseph Trueax, and Jerry McConnell. Jerry is still with the outfit, and, like the stream, reassures us that men may come and men may go, but I go on forever. It has been said that a quartet consists of three men and a baritone. This latter berth was not easy to fill in the present organization, but at last the amiable Mr. Anderson was found. So here they are — four stalwart gentlemen — each with an enlarged larynx and a ravenous appetite. This year ' s schedule has taken the quartet and a speaker into many of the churches within a radius of two hundred miles of Olivet, and the summer schedule calls for a tour that will take them into Missouri, Iowa, Indiana, Ohio, and Mich- igan raising money for the dear old Alma Mater and enlisting students for the new year.

Pone Se Bhe Qrucifixion of Christ They had succeeded in wresting their victim from Pilate ' s univilling hands, and they took Jesus and led him away, to the place of execution on Golgotha ' s brow. The actual execu- tioners were the soldiers of the governor ' s guard; but in moral significance the deed belonged entirely to the Jewish authorities. While on the way the fatal procession attracted great multitudes. Crucifixion was an un- speakably horrible death. It was reserved for slaves and revolutionists whose ends were meant to be marked with special in- famy. So they took the Christ, drove the spikes through his tender flesh into the wooden cross, and suspended him between heaven and earth. Oh, what agony! Not from the actual suspension on the cross, but because he was bearing the sin of the world. And then the consuming fire of God ' s nature, xvhich is the reverse side of the light of his holi- ness and love, flamed forth against him,, to burn it away. So it pleased the Father to put him to grief, when he ivho knew no sin was made sin for us. His friends went to his tomb the third day follow- ing the crucifixion and lo, the grave ivas empty and Christ had risen. It tvas God ivho raised him up.

The Spartan Literary Society was organized the first semester of last school year, which semester she received the silver loving cup as a token from the faculty for maintaining the highest rating in all activities. Since then we haven ' t been quite so fortunate, but a spirit of optimism and competition still pervades. For two semesters our worthy opponents have been successful in holding the cup beyond our reach, but they have had to work very hard in doing so. Fred I lawk, Joe Morgan, Ernestine Hurry, Ross Lee, and Jennie Preston were the president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer and chairman of the pro- gram committee, respectively, during the fall and winter term. A great part of die work and worry about the literacy programs was done by the president and the chairman of the program committee, but a spirit of cooperation prevailed. In basket ball, both the girls ' and the bows ' teams did well, but because of a turn of fortune the former won second place and the latter third place. These past defeats are not big enough to cause the Spartans to he down and quit. Our determination is to gain permanent possession of the loving cup by winning first place lor two more semesters.

One of the most necessary and beneficial organizations in college life is the literary society. One-third of the students in school are proud because they are privileged to belong to the Cleo-Apollonian Society. This society, otherwise known as the B ' s, has been outstanding in extra-curricular activities since it was organized. Under the direction of Mr. Jack Moore, president, and Mr. Lyle Eckley, vice-president, our society has endeavored to create a deeper appreciation of literature in its finest aspects, to develop talent and personality, to be foremost in regard to good sportsmanship, to increase intellectual growth and capacity for thinking, and, finally, to establish more firmly our controlling principle of achieve- ment. The Cleo-Apollonians have distinguished themselves in true and hearty competition with the Spartans and Lh olympians. Cooperation in carrying nut our programs has been unexcelled. To this spirit of individual responsibility and pulling together do we attribute much of our success. These societies have given pleasure and mental recreation in the midst of our regular school require- ments, and, above all, a greater vision of God as Lord of truth and beauty. As a society we are indeed grateful to our sponsor, Prof. W. B. Larsen. for the inspiration he has been to us. We hope that the B society may always be outstanding in literary work, in athletics, and, most of all, in maintaining a clear vision of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Frank Browning.

With the coming of the soft-ball lime, the Utolympians began to forge ahead, and in due season were declared champs of the diamond. In girls ' tennis and in basket ball they met with equal success. As for the programs, the societies were well matched, although the L,itolympiailS won the public contest program. And so, with high hopes for the coming semester, and with a strong determination to secure permanenl ownership of the much fought over cup, the Litolympians go bacl into the battle with fresh courage. Ennit: 1 Iarwood. i ie Sr, ;ifji : i ' j is Is y){vsic a Necessity or a £uxury? Did Adam and Eve sing in the Garden of Eden? Perhaps you are not cer- tain. But surely they did have music in some form. Perhaps they would spend the evenings listening to the largest bird choir to which one ever listened. No doubt they were awakened in the morning by the sound of an orchestra in which every animal played a part. Nor did music stop when Adam and Eve left the garden. God had put within man an appreciation for haimony and music in any form. Today there are training stations wherein a person may develop his musi- cal talent and thereby help to satisfy his desire for music. Not pretentious in size, yet not diminished in quality, stands the Conservatory of Olivet. There is a price for this music mastering which includes the sacrificing of private and public pleasure. Music is everywhere. It comes ringing and singing down the ages, as old as life itself. It cannot be a luxury any more than the air of heaven. What would be the result if every note of music in the world would be hushed? Can you imagine it? In such an event, the depression would sink into the very souls of men, for music is the very emblem of the spiritual ; and bereft of the spiritual no real happiness is left. Singing is a part of life eternal and an eternal part of the life temporal. Music is the handmaid of the church universal, and plays a very important part in nearly all religious services. Often a song will touch some one who would otherwise be unmoved. Great physicians recognize the vast value of music for many patients. The whole world works and laughs and weeps to music. The French farmers plow to a weird tune of their own. All festive days among all people are marked by special music. The lullaby, the wedding march, the funeral dirge, lead all hu- manity from the cradle to the grave. Even in times of war, while soldiers go to battle, music plays a very important part. It is an historical fact that a certain army won a battle simply because a little drummer boy would not play a retreat. v So when schools arise, private or public, small or large, to train the people how to work better and how to live better, music must be a necessary part. There- fore, music is a necessary part of Olivet College. Mrs. H. H. Prick. Vagt Scr ' cnty-nine Aurora Gontest c lo)inners-- c Dog ogs 1 KX . I 1 JLtt v Cpinno Students Page Eighty ohe yiurora Gontest With the coming of chilly days and snappy nights, the thoughts of everyone on the campus turned to the Aurora contest. This struggle was started in a chapel service, in which Joe Morgan, leader of the dogs, delivered his inauguration speech, while he held to his pawing and excited mascot, Benny. In reply, Paul Bassett, the leading tomcat, introduced the new Aurora cat. From Tuesday on for ten days, barks and meows were the vogue, and clashes were frequent. Posters, characteristic announcements, and pep meetings were numerous. The dogs and cats delighted in arousing each other especially in the middle of the night. Consequently, howls, yowls, growls, and yells were heard, sometimes in the wee hours of the morning. The climax of humor proved to be the funeral and burial of poor Tommy Cat. The athletic combats were hotly contested and were attended by eager stu- dents. The felines asserted their supremacy in basket ball, but the canines in- flicted defeat on their opponents in football and baseball. Hamer and Mongerson starred for the kitties, while Browning proved outstanding for the pups. The girls also participated in basket ball, thus displaying their athletic ability. After an exciting basket ball game, hard fought all the way through, and after members of the Aurora staff had prolonged the suspense until everyone was almost overwrought, the dogs were declared the victors. They romped out to a frolic of jubilee, while the cats, who had fought well, cheerfully peeled pump- kins for the picnic. Wksi.ky Felmlkk. ' Music the fiercest grief can charm.

Almost any eve- ning during the three weeks previous to field day one could see a student either sprinting or jogging around the campus. In short, each person was training him- self so that he might put forth his best efforts on field day. Training, however, was not the only preparation necessary to make field day complete ; it was necessary also that the campus be beautified. What would make a field day more complete than to have an attractive campus, a campus which would entice students out of doors? During the three or four days previous to field day, many of the students were industriously working to make their campus one of which they could be proud. They were digging out the weeds, white- washing the trees, cleaning the tennis courts, and doing anything else that would make the campus more attractive. In the forenoon of the second Monday in May both students and townsmen gathered on the campus to await the beginning of the events. The combatants were the Spartans, Cleo-Apollonians, and Ljtolympians, more commonly known as the A ' s, B ' s, and C ' s. The eagerness of the crowd brought on the begin- ning of the events amid much enthusiasm. It was rather early when the first bang of the gun was heard. Soon after, the crowd could be heard cheering for the participants. Each athlete put forth his best effort to be first in whatever event he entered. The losers smilingly congratulated their winning opponents. It seemed that per- sonal glory was forgotten. Personal sportsmanship was outstanding in the hearts of all present. Event followed event with unusual smoothness. When the last race had been run, the scores were tallied, and it was with a close margin that the Ljtolympians received highest honors and the Cleo-Apol- lonians received second highest, automatically giving the Spartans third place. Carlton Birchard of the Spartans received the highest number of individual points; Wendell McHenry gained the second highest. Martha Gustin of the Spartans won the highest number of points in the girls ' events, with Margaret Harwood and Martha Fix taking second and third highest. Curtis Walker. Pago Ninety 3he yllumni Association The Alumni Association of Olivet College is a working organization. At least once each year, on commencement day, the members get together for a feed and reunion, at which old memories are revived and new members are welcomed into the inner circle of the previously initiated Olivet grads. Last year a program of over one hundred stereoptican slides was presented of Olivet graduates on the field of service. This does not represent the extent of the alumni activities, however. Various classes have added from time to time to the beauty and utility of the campus and halls of the old Alma Mater. One class presented a beautiful painting of Christ among the doctors, which hangs in the chapel. Another donated a dozen oak chairs for the chapel platform, and another the fine pulpit stand which graces the rostrum. The study tables and the decorative lamps in the library were given by graduating classes. On the campus marks of the good will of graduates in- clude a ninety- foot flagpole, a concrete walk, and memorial pillars at the campus entrance. One of the main projects of the association is the collecting and awarding of scholarship funds to attract new students to Olivet. In the first two years of the program a total of seven hundred dollars has been raised, which has been awarded to nine students. Olivet alumni are loyal alumni, and give a good account of themselves, not- only in their various fields of activity, but also in their support of their Alma Mater. C. S.

In vain my troubled spirit glides From vagueness unto light, for always With the dawn of consciousness I murmured When I found with dire despair It was not truth. I seek for truth as blind men yearn for light, And still my search unfruitful seems to be ; My simple mind has not the power to soar Or to transcend the gulf which doth forever breed True discontent and ceaseless longing in my breast. Yet I remember when no piercing pang could mar the tranquillity Of my unconscious soublife. No pleading there to know, to see, to comprehend The vast magnanimity of life. There is a peace which floods My heart when I do thus within my mind relate, And ever do I strive to leave this ignorance. Then let my spirit ever onward spur until My joy, my peace, may come, and let me know The way to truth is striving for the right. Ernestine Hurry, Page Ninety four Advertisements he Ascension of Ghrist The risen Christ lingered on earth long enough fully to satisfy his adherents of the truth of his resurrection. He appeared to the apostles, and it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them and carried up into heaven. And so ended the earthly career of the only begotten of God who was sent to redeem a lost and wandering race. We have used the life of Jesus Christ as the theme for this book. The life of Christ in history cannot cease. His influence waxes stronger as the years go by; the dead na- tions are waiting until this story reaches them. All dis- coveries of the modern ivorld, every development of ideas, of higher powers, of more ex- quisite feelings in mankind, are only new helps to inter- pret him; and the lifting up of life to the level of his standards should be the pro- gramme of the human race.
