As a Holiness College Olivet is unique, for each person is divorced from family and home environment, therefore his life is something that must be worked out for himself by adjustments distinctly his own. Yet, in some sense, one brings his environ- ment and talents with him. Each student with his brush and by the help of the Master has painted in the an- nals of history the ' 35- ' 36 portion of his greater masterpiece. And as a record more tangible than memory, we, the Aurora Staff, wish to suggest to your mind our progress in this book, the 1936 Aurora. Some of our strokes upon the canvas are not perfect, but these, with the good, we commit to the master artist. And we trust that as you peruse these pages you will be able to discern the spirit behind our works. For we are striving to hang our portraits in the gallery of heaven ' s great souls. ■X 4L L DEDICATION . . Vr Z Q O I— Q Q - o o Q ■-- i i- 5 o CO (J DO I— CD U CD z Q i Z z O i— o ?

The earnestness with which you have executed your task, the cheerfulness with which you have met your problems, the hope in which you have prepared for fields of worthy service, and your simple faith in Christ our Lord have made this year of service on your behalf a deep and abiding joy. For you we have lived and for you we have labored and because of what you are, ife and labor given for you is both pleasant and profitable. As you go out from us during the summer months our hearts attend you and we shall anxiously await the sound of your returning footsteps. Permit us to express our sincere desire for you to One who is able to grant its fulfillment: Our Lord and Master: We raise our voice to Thee in behalf of the members of this great student body. Grant that amid the din of life ' s bewildering noises they may hear that still small voice saying, This is the way , and having heard, may there come from Thee — the source of all our help — strength sufficient to walk in that way and thus instructed and empowered, may they continue their course in steadfastness of purpose untii the path of duty and blessing shall lead them to thy eternal home. Hear this, our humble petition, for the sake of the Christ whom we love and serve. Amen. Affectionately yours, T. W.

Behold I say unto you, lift up your eyes, and look on the fields for they are white already to har- vest. Christ saw not only golden grain, but a company of Samaritans eagerly coming out of the city toward Him. Why were they coming? Because of the woman ' s report. Yes, and more: for down in their hearts they needed help and wished to meet some one who could answer the need. People today are ready to run in any direction where they might find help for their tired souls. Jesus looked upon this searching state of mind and heart as the harvest. Of course with Him, we will not forget God ' s faithful messengers in past generations and the testimonies of holy lives that brought on the harvest. A peculiar task is given to you as the class of 1936. To realize that the harvest is at hand and that Christ is in need of co-laborers who will do what He is not able to do I Himself, going forth each of you, specially authorized and endowed to communicate £ blessings of Christ to a needy and hungry world. Olivet College is counting on each of you to be reapers and to meet the challenge of the harvest field, may the spirit of the hymn be yours: J_ead on, O King Eternal, the day of march has come; Henceforth in fields of conquest, thy tents shall be our home Thro ' days of preparation thy grace has made us strong, And now, O King Eternal, we lift our battle song. r yy 7 ' j r T jtr iJ L Airujb ' Page Twenty-four S E N I O R S t 3X S7 REMISS RICHARD REHFELDT Tb ' s young man rouged cheeks was nois. Though his major is theology, and his ca ing with the apparently well- incubated in Freeport, Mi- ls the ministry, he is not narrowly circum- scribed within the realm of e cclesiasticism. Clever with the clarinet, he has sat four years in the reed section of the band and orchestra. In his Senior year, the college band and the Georgetown children blowed about beneath his mighty baton. His musical history also in- cluded a year as a tenor in the Orpheus Chorus, and some rambling with the Ambassador Quar- tet. Besides being melodious, Remiss is also ath- letic, studious, and religious. Athletic — well, he was head waiter for two years, a job requiring strength and personality. He also plays basket- ball. Studious — he qualified for the Honor So- ciety, and as a Senior shook a forensic fist at sister colleges. Religious — he is faithful in attending every means of grace, and is humble in spirit. Remiss, we wish you well. GOAL POSTS Play the game of life. That was the parting counsel of a college professor who had sponsored a class through four years. He had shared their hopes and battles dur- ing their college days and now as graduation drew near, he was giving to them his parting counsel in the v ords quoted above. There was a moment of thoughtful silence, and then one of the boys replied, But how can we play the game of life when we do not know where the goal posts are? And after all that is a part of the problem that the present generation faces. Some one has characterized them as the Lost Gen- eration . The young people who come to our holiness colleges have a distinct advantage that will enable them to overcome the handicap suffered by those who are uncertain concerning the whereabouts of the goal posts. Our young people have heard a a divine call, that has given motive and direction to their lives. Life is purposeful) to them. They have definite Christian objectives. They feel a deep abiding sense of mission. Not only have they determined the location of the goals, but the dynamic of spiritual life which has been imparted to them through the grace of Jesus Christ- is the impelling force that will carry them to the desired end. In these troublous times the class of 1936 goes forward in the conviction jJiaT they are not a lost generation, but rather are the generation to whom has come l the Ch lenge Magnificent. ? - The 1936 class of Olivet College is ready for the battle. We are confidentutha , the same spirit that has dominated their lives these four years will carry them, inHfie end, to that success which is above all others — the success that merits the commenda- tion — Well done, thou good and faithful servant. ) W — J T ol fi Page Twenty-seven ESSggSli HAROLD IVES MONGERSON Over a quarter of a century ago a new day dawned for the world. That day is not yet ended for here is Harold Ives Mongerson just taking an- other step upward. And nobody can see the top of the stairs, nor the end of the day. He is from Peoria, III. To fail to mention that would be a grave injustice to that fair city. Harold has been a loyal, enthusiastic Spartan. He has participated in basketball, baseball, and controversies — all for the Spartans ' sake. And he has done other things. He has held two student pastorates — one at Westville, III., and the other at Newman, III. In 1934, he led in the Aurora Contest. He joined the Orpheus Chorus in his Senior year. He sleeps well and late. His hobby is guns. He sings good tenor. As he goes out from Olivet College, our best wishes go with him. MARY FRANCES EMERSON Miss Emerson is from Owensville in Southern ndiana. After studying for a year at Indiana Central, she journeyed to Olivet the fall of 1933 to supplement the Sophomores. Mary Frances is the Patrick Henry of the fair sex. Her fluency in speech has earned for her a promment role in every activity in which she has participated. In her first years at Olivet she be- came a leading Litolympian. The next year she was a leader in the Aurora Contest. In her Senior year, she has served efficiently as presi- dent of the local N.Y.P.S. Consternation — all right that describes the fe ' ejings of those who dare oppose her on the fdrensic platform. During three years, she has s usejd her fors and becauses to gain prestige for our women debaters. _j$he has been instructor in the Chemistry lab- oratory for the three years she has been in Oli- V- z Miss Emerson is a preacher of ability. Her messages have delighted and helped congrega- tions more than once since she has been in Oli- vet. ' •? y Vir t ' UJtUL ' - Pane Twenty-eight WRIGHT STRONG In this young man Iowa has given to Olivet a worthy student. As salutatorian we congratu- late him. Wright is a charter member of the Ambassa- dor Quartet. If you have a theological argument and want an opponent, you can find it in this Hawkeye . But Wright ' s life is his creed in action. His sin- cere testimonies, his attendance to the means of grace, and deep devotion to God have won the admiration of students and faculty. He has proved that one can be scholarly, by being able to qualify for the Honor Society, and also re- ligious, and yet not let either of these interfere with one ' s campusology . The Indians will lose a valuable man when they lose Wright, who has al- ways played such a prominent part in all the ac- tivities of this athletic society. Wright, Olivet is conferring upon you the de- gree of Bachelor of Theology; she in turn expects unselfish service in your life ' s work as a minister. May God ' s blessings be yours as you break the bread of life to the hungry multitudes. g: yr JUNE J. MONGERSON June — effusive, ejaculatory, fluent, convivial, gay, talkative, et cetera — ladies and gentlemen, the dictionary lacks words sufficiently descriptive. During the quadrennius that this young lady has spent in Olivet, she has acquitted herself with honor. When she was a Sophomore, she actually helped her brother, Harold, pastor a church. As a Junior, she steam-rollered her opponents in the Aurora Contest. In her Senior year, she edited the Campus Ghost, qualified for the Honor So- ciety, and ranked first in class honors. To further enumerate, she is a forensicist to be feared, having won sixteen out of eighteen inter- collegiate debates, in which she participated. At basketball, volley ball, horseshoes — in fact Lai every game, she plays to win, and usually does. Her v eakness is politics. Her home isj Borra - , Illinois. Her living principle is rugged individuc ism. S June, Olivet will not forget you YtrroughT the vicissitudes of life. s-- ) r.1 1 Page Twenty-nine A r CHARLES ROSS LEE Over four years ago much to the delight of all the ladies this handsome young gentleman with the winning smile breezed into Olivet College from Newcastle, Indiana. His ability was soon perceived, and he was given a position of honor, trust, and responsibility . For two years by night and by day, he rang the bells. The Spartans were fortunate enough in 1934 to obtain his serv- ices as president of that honorable society. In 1935 he became a respected inmate of the Wy- cliffe domicile. For three years he has been a valued member of the Aurora staff and in this, his Senior year, he has succeeded as business manager for this worthy publication. Ross has wisely blended practice with prepara- tion. After studying homiletics and theology, during the school week, he has tested his teach- ings on Sundays by preaching to congregations, both large and small, throughout the educational zone. His messa ges are dynamic, definitely evangelistic, popular, and uplifting. WILMA LEA HEWITT Wilma stopped at Olivet four years ago on her way from Kansas City, Missouri to Canada. She has earned a B.Th. during that time, and is also reported to be receiving an M.R.S. through the efforts of Mr. Cordon Woods, of Toronto. Con- gratulations for both! Miss Hewitt sang in the Cecilian Chorus and in various trios; acted as secretary of the Student Council, and played basketball and other games. She debated on the varsity teams for two years. She worked in the college office as a secretary and a typist. In her Senior year, she assisted the rfnge ( r of bells . Hence, this busy little lady ha s pursued a well-rounded program. At home or on foreign soil, Wilma, we sin- cerely trust that your life will be one of happiness arid usefulness. TH ' . h ). W; ' k j)U l UA JTTTjy 1 , I ' anc Thirty DAVID FRANKLIN BROWNING Frank has been in Olivet seven years, having taken three years of high school here. His home base is Columbus, Ohio. His activities have been largely extra-curricu- lar, although his scholarly marks earned for him a place in the Honor Society. Athletics was his special calling. Blessed with an enormous repertoire of curves, his twirling has puzzled many batters, and at basketball he moves through a five-man defense with the greatest of ease . In 1934 he captured first place in nine events on Field Day. He is expert at tennis. He is noted for tall stories, poetic spells, and pumped-up entertainment. But the outstand- ing characteristic of Frank is his fervent religious experience. We predict for him a life of suc- cessful soul-wi nning. FRANCES GRACE PHILLIPS Taylor University bestowed upon Olivet a fa vor when she allowed Miss Phillips to come to u as a Sophomore back in ' 33. Ere she was here two months, she was made back-seat driver fo the Fords in the Aurora Contest. The Cleo Apollonians rejoiced to receive her as a mem be and a good basketeer on the gym floor. Frances ' chief interests have been in the field of music and literature. She has sung in the Or pheus Chorus for two years, has been a membe of the Honor Society, and this year she received her certificate in piano. Friendly, jolly, possessed of a kind and unde standing heart, intelligent, talented — with s characteristics as these, Frances should bless nd cheer the world into which Olivet College now sends her. Page Thirty-one - Ss gaga ie ii i pgCTig ii FRED GIBSON This promising young man comes from Colum- bus, Ohio. Fred has several pet hobbies. He likes to play floor guard in basketball, and first base in base- ball. He is proficient at tennis, and occasionally he tees off . During leisure hours he listens to jokes over the radio, and in the dining hall he re- peats those jokes verbatim to all who are so for- tunate as to sit at his table. On Sunday morning he dresses up and helps take up the church col- lection . His loyalty to that task is exemplary. On Sunday afternoons he preaches to the con- gregation at Ogden. Occasionally he makes trips to Indianapolis. Fred has been a man of action while in Olivet. One may well believe that his life after he leaves Olivet will also teem with action. c ' I ' ,- .-. DONALD REEVES Don Reeves, from Iowa, the Hawkeye state! Probably Don is related to the early editor for whom the state is popularly named — Old Hawk- eye — genius for spying out news. Anyway, Don usually knows the latest news, especially that con- cerning sports. A deep bass voice has contributed to his suc- cess in the Ambassador Quartet and the Or- pheus Chorus; and his ability to slide the trom- bone attained him a place in the college band. Don has expressed the desire of accepting as — f+is future career — school teaching. We believe if twis is God ' s plan for his life he will be a suc- cess} He has the personality to win. • ' As you leave your Alma Mater, Don, may you have the ideals for which she stands so firmly in- stilled within you that God ' s way may be your wary. — Page Thirty-two JOHN MELVIN ANDERSON In the fall of ' 32 Melvin Anderson left his na- tive country of Chicago and came to Illinois to receive an education at Olivet College. The for- eign manners were quite strange, it is true, but Mel ' s slow, easy-going disposition rendered him the patience to endure to the end. Yes, he has remained in Olivet College, but in June ' 35 he situated himself in a new state — that of matri- mony. His wife is a good cook and seamstress, and has aided in his success as student pastor at Metcalf. Mel has taken active part in the extra-curricu- lum activities of the school. During his Sopho- more year he was one of the leaders in the Au- rora Contest. We forget whether he won or lost — but what counts is how he played the game, and we are sure he played a good one. As baritone soloist Melvin has won quite a reputation, and the Orpheus Chorus would seem incomplete without him. Success to you and your ministry, Mel. CORWIN NOSKER Who could think of Nosker without thinking of the Gloworm ? The two are inseparable. This young man hailed from Wooster, Ohio four years ago, and was destined to make his in- fluence felt in the kitchen — as chief bottle washer . Corwin has never failed to lend to the greatest or smallest in need, a helping hand. His spoken testimonies have been few but his unchanging smile and kindness have been a constant testi- mony. His spare time this year has been occupied with the study and care of the one hundredkpet mice in the Embryology Department. Nosker is the only member of the class who has a call to the mission field. We pray God ' s blessing to be upon you as you continue your preparation for a medical missionary 1 to Afr In that capacity may you honor God and Alma Mater. — (( Page Thirty-three mm.t.mm n. ms CARL GORTNER Carl is another student from the Buckeye state who has made good — in more ways than one. In his Sophomore year he achieved amaz- ing success in his court-ship endeavor. Scho- lastically this young man has made for himself a reputation — being a charter member of the Honor Society. At the end of four years he still remains the unrivaled catcher of the Tro- jan baseball team. Carl has always been a bright and shining example of a person who has a lot of class spirit, and marriage has not hindered him in his loyalty to his class. Gortner ' s deep devotion and consistent Chris- tian life will be his memorial to Olivet. As Carl leaves us we feel sure that here is one member of the graduating class who will continue to make good. We believe that he will be a worthy servant in the Lord ' s vineyard. c In , ELSIE ADAM Elsie Adam, who is receiving her B.Th. this year, has attended E.N.C., and obtained her A.B. degree in 1934 from Bethany College. Elsie deserves much admiration in the initia- tiveness she has shown in working her way thru five years of college. Surely that faith that has led her thru trying circumstances will look up into the face of her Guide and say It is the right way. Lead Thou me on. Elsie has voiced her thought that God ' s way for her might be as a social worker. Someone has said that God helps those who help them- selves is ideal for those in need. Who could better teach this lesson than one who has since Nearly teens relied on herself and God for all her help. May God bless you, Elsie. We hope this one year at our beloved Olivet has given you those Rikshing touches which will bring to you true hap- Hiess and success. CJ V ' ' ) ' . Page Thirty-four JAMES WHITWORTH From the breezy, riotous city of Chicago comes Whitworth. His environment seems to have left his imprint upon him, because Jimmy is afraid neither of men nor devils. He keeps right on propounding his ideas of behaviorism and faith , much to the dismay of Professor Smith. Whitworth entered these halls of learning in his Junior year, coming to us from Crain Junior College. Fame came his way last year when he offered his profound and philosophical definitions of Holiness. As you might expect, this young man made the Honor Society. His argumentative in- stinct found expression on the debating team this year. Studious habits have not hindered Whitworth from enjoying a good joke, and participating in one as well. As a Christian, he has ideas of his own, but he has walked the straight and narrow in our midst for two years and has somehow won our admiration. JESSE BROCKETT How can we forget Jesse with his always-o hand jokes, his rollicking good disposition, a his occasional seriousness! For four years this young man from the state of Illinois has filled the position of first tenor i the Ambassador Quartet which is bound to b of world renown for the composing and rende ing of the Bean song. Jesse contacted many friends during the three years he worked at the College Inn. Brockett has gained esteem by electingChimse voluntary deputy to Miss Sinkhorn this year, an said services in that capacity have been greatl appreciated. : Here is one who has never been demortstrati but with his ability to make friends and his firm conviction that God ' s ways are (best w lieve he will become a soul winner, with iM ness as his method. Blessings on thee, Jesse. Page Thirty-five v m-kUAtvu mt mvongr :T3 COLLEGE JUNIORS This body of brilliant young men and young women constitutes the bravest class in Olivet College. For this reason— they selected the dean of the college, Professor McClain, for their sponsor, while they wore yet Freshmen. Incidentally, all of them religiously live up to every school regula- tion. Hence, the class is not only brave, but also unique. Moreover, there are streaks of intelligence in this singular group. Nine of their number have been members of the Honor Society. These Juniors look back upon a year of class activities that will re- main fond memories in years to come. We need only mention the dramatized biography of Dean McClain of Feb. 28th. All the students in Olivet remember the famous coup d ' etat at the chapel service on the morning after Senior skip-day when the undignified members of the graduating class worshipped by chasing Joe Collins, etal., across meadow and cornfield. The faculty appreciated this stunt so much that all the Juniors (Seniors, too) were given the celebrated chapel cuts . If one may judge by present appearances, this class is going places . Possessed of high intelligence, fervent religion, and poised personalities, the members of this class should be able to make worthy Seniors, and in life do honor to their alma mater.

These memories are filed as follows: good, bad, indifferent, wise, otherwise, and then a miscellaneous drawer of what-nots which registers — capacity. Take a look at our books here — the battered old veterans stand conquered and at attention on the shelves. If these old feilows could only speak — what wouldn ' t they tell? Perhaps my English Literature would narrate to ou a sad story about the night he was left out on the porch and almost froze to death; this miserable Analytics text could draw all kinds of lines and tangents from the Wagon Wheel, and who could help it if we did buy Psychology books diseased with sleeping sickness? But really now, do you think that we can be held accountable for those nights that our books went on a strike, perhaps to listen to Lights Out or some such item so necessary to our education? We are not going to worry even if all these things did happen and more that we could mention, for the Prof ' s are going to give us A ' s and that will more than compensate for all this sweat and toil. , ' Last year our goal was to excel in pep and noise — we were Freshmen. This year ' we have taken on the quiet dignity which our status demands and set our goals for higher values, and greater usefulness even in scholarship. If we have learned any- thing the world will know about it, if we have helped any one by a word of cheer or a smile on a gloomy day, those things will be recorded in Higher Ledgers, so why speak of Hriem here. Our slogan is to move on or get run over, and as the future becomes tory, we 1 hope to leave behind some memorial worthy of our name; if we don ' t, mbe our g-randchildren will. We expect every battle to be gulped down in victory; wa are out to be Juniors when we stage our comeback.

Fruehllng, who was born in Montrose, Iowa, January 18th, 1916, and died in Mt. Sinai Hospital, Chicago, Illinois, December 27, 1935, after a two months ' illness. Leslie was graduated from Montrose high school in 1933 and ma- triculated in Olivet this past fall. He was a member of the Freshman Class, and was loved by all who knew him. His greatest contribution to life was the record of his faith in God at the time of his death. The brightness of his testimony is the reconcil- ing factor to such an untimely happening, for in such a condition of soul how could his passing be anything less than victorious.

In the Christian atmosphere of th ultra-democratic institution with the splendid example set for us by all of the upp classmen, we were soon assimilated by the Olivet family. The Freshmen took a prominent part in all extra-curricular activities. Freshm were soon found in the Orpheus Chorus, on the Debating Teams, in the Honor So ety, and participating in all of the church services. An outstanding achievement wa the winning of the basketball championship by the Freshman Five. c The coordination of high ideals and scholastic attainments in the spiritual enVjro merit, where friendliness is the prevailing spirit, made this year a happy beginning f more than ninety Freshmen. c Page Forty-seven rpr s sm - cM.i, ustre: COLLEGE FRESHMEN FIRST ROW CHARLES ACKERMAN frank, open, unsophisticated ARLIE BARGER stolid, quiet, business-like SECOND ROW EVELYN CUNEY ' :t, true, pleasant MARIAN DAVIDSON jovial, humble, -THrRA.

The high school work has been prepared to meet the college entrance requirements of the North Central Asso- ciation of Colleges. The courses are accredited by the University of inois, and by the Illinois State Department of Education. This department of our school affords a great opportunity to those who are interested in obtaining a high school education in a wholesome Christian environment. Especially is it an opportunity to those who have for various reasons been unable to complete their public high school education and now feel the need of that training. To our present academy students, especially to the sixteen members of the graduating class, we trust that the highest and best will come to you in every endeavor of your life. D. J.

WALTER MOORE Gladness of heart is the life of man, and the joyfulness of man prolongeth his days. THELMA FINK Whatever thy han findeth to do, do with thy might. BETTY FOOTE The vocation of it every man and woman is to serve one an- other. A call to the ministry or to any kind of Christian activity is a call to preparation. All the adages of life come before us v hen we face this period of the twentieth cen- tury. Never in ail history has life become so complex; it stands as a vast unexplored continent before us. Every phase of life seems to be undergoing a metamorphosis. Religion, politics, even social systems appear to be in a revolution. Therefore, we conclude that leadership will be infinitely more difficult, and adequate training cor- respondingly essential. But in the face of these facts we who have been called to the ministry do not ask that the problems be removed, neither do we shrink from the re- sponsibility, for we know that the needs of the human soul are the same as they have always been. And our prayer is, that where the problem is greater that God will sup- plement the need with that more abundant grace. When we reflect upon our call and realize that we have been chosen to reveal Gdd to men and help Christ save a lost world, we appreciate more fully the complete- ness of our consecration, and the demands upon our service. What could be a more noble service than that of the Priesthood? It has been said by Bishop Cannon of Methodism that the Nazarenes get along wejl, because they have a definite message and a joyful religion — and as the bishop has ceftainly spoken rightly — may our love and passion for souls increasingly become all-consuming fire. 2J22H 22P r lJJ JM MMJJ, 7 Pane Sixty BIBLE COLLEGE SENIORS C£ Page Sixty-one Opal Collins But one thing is need- ful; and Mary hath chosen the bette r part.

FALL REVIVAL The supreme purpose of Olivet College is to provide for its students a Christian education. And that term Christian means not only that a sound intellectual training in a religious atmosphere is provided, but also that much energy is expended in in- tense efforts to bring every student into a rich and definite Christian experience. Each fall after the incoming students have become adjusted to their new environ- ment, a revival is held. This year, Rev. Howard Sweeten was the special evangelist for the fall revival. For ten days, Rev. Sweeten preached in his own logical, interesting, convincing anner, and the Holy Spirit evidenced His approval of the proclaimed truth with in- describable and peculiar unction. The faculty, the students, and the townspeople who heard the gospel messages and the shouts of victory in the camp went way from the services feeling that they had been drawn nearer to God. Several sought and found definite experience of saving and sanctifying grace. At the close of the revival the spiritual life of the whole school was definitely on a higher and happier plane. MID-WINTER REVIVAL President Willingham held the mid-winter revival. It was a revival! The validity and appropriateness of the term revival being applied to those ten days in February cannot be sincerely questioned. President Willingham stood beside the pulpit on the first night and confessed that he had no sermons ready for this meeting. His mind was open. He was ready for God to lead him. And God led. Every sermon carried with it an atmosphere of fresh- ness and vividness. God breathed on the congregation. People recognized the presence of the Holy Spirit in the services. Both saint and sinner examined his spiritual condition. Thorough diagnosis revealed to some the fact that. they had walled up a dry well . Their utterly undone status before God was revealed to many hearts. But the presence of the Holy Spirit was felt not merely as a convicting and heart-searching agency, He manifested His saving, sanctifying, and ifting power. Though there was an abundance of shouting, emphasis was placed on .certainty of having met God personally. _ £ livet College will not soon forget this visitation from the Mighty One. _ 1 Vane Sixty-four KTifeS FINE ARTS Paac Sixty-five 3 MUSIC GRADUATES As there are no limits to the study of sciences, just so there are no limits to one ' s possibilities in the field of music. One never finishes music, because its possibilities are inexhaustible, but these have reached a certain mile post and are awarded a cer- tificate or diploma, whichever the case may be. Our certificate is given at the completion of a two-year course — in theory and piano or voice. A thorough musical foundation is the prerequisite. Those receiving certificates this year have done excellent work and we feel they are a credit to our Music School. Our diploma represents two additional years ' study in theoretical and applied my-sic. Our graduates from this course have worked faithfully and we have ample reason to b© proud of them. We also offer a B.Mus. degree with additional work, but we have divided our course- ' into five years instead of four, awarding the certificate and diploma at tne ytervals of two years each. Me are glad to present this class of graduates this year and we feel sure they will bean inspiration to others to follo w in their finger-prints.

Not willing to break a good old custom or to disappoint you, my read is your $0.69 special. In what line these students are special, no one knows, inclined to believe it is special delivery. These ladies have quite an affinity fo expression and other extras; therefore, they are undoubtedly prepared to deliv anything. The extra-specials are of considerable import to all of us. It reminds one o ing into bed on a cold winter night and lying like a hot dog between the lids o 1 with the covers extending flat and rigid above to keep one warm. It seems fh. is a great lesson to be learned from the parts of the cover that hang over the and so it is with the extras in life. It is these groups of specials that make life ' itable investment. Time and space prohibit further taxing of your patience, and then, too, yo ably have some more specials to care for, so draw your own conclusions ' , but in let me say that these extra-specials are the luxuries of life. Yours especially spec Pane Sixty-seven W i 3 PIANO STUDENTS Page Sixty-eight cr PIANO STUDENTS Genius is an infinite capacity for work, growing out of an infinite power of love. Power springs from love. When you find that you have something dear to you, which may be dry and uninteresting to others, but which you clasp closely to yourself with joy and yearning, know that within you is the beginning of power. When your heart like a child, has any vivacious feeling of joy or sorrow, longing or disappointment, do not crush it; master it, study it, endeavor to quicken it into more life, always mastering the emotions produced by keen perceptions. All great musicians have observed, have worked and have loved. Attainment comes through work, and true work lies in love. Music resembles poetry, in each Are nameless graces which no methods teach, And which a master-hand alone can reach, Music the fiercest grief can charm, And fate ' s severest rage disarm, Music can soften pain and ease, And make despair and madness please; Our joys on earth it can improve, And antedate the bliss of heaven above. CHILDREN ' S PIANO CLASS We are in the midst of a new era in child training which will demand teac who not only understand how to teach music, but who also know the principles gove ing the teaching of children in different ages. Olivet College purposes to mee demand through its Children ' s Piano Department and Normal Course, in which. Louise Robyn System of Pianoforte is taught exclusively. This system covers the seve essential principles requisite in the musical training of the child: Sight Reading,,, P Technic, Pedal Training, Ear Training and Harmony, Dalcroze Eurythmics and c M rizing. The Normal Students of the School of Music are permitted to attend, to servation and practice teaching, the classes in which children from the earliest school period (three years) to teen age are taught. ( NAOMI LARSEN, B.tfTu? Head of Children ' s Training Departm Page Sixty-nine VOICE STUDENTS ij l p r ' In V Singing implies natural gifts of voice, developed by study of such a degree of technical skill, which makes the voice an instrument responsive to the will. It has been said, the voice is the greatest of all instruments . When one thinks of how no other instrument lies so close to the human soul or can so definitely portray the emotions, one realizes that this statement is true. Hence, more individuals who possess musical talent should take up the study of voice culture. Musicianship is essential, for inter- retative power is possible only for those who have a fine technical foundation. This field of vocal music endeavor is broad indeed. The singer may elect the pera, ' oratorio, concert singing, church soloist work, choir directing, gospel singing, actio or public school music. The young vocalist can locate his place in one of these elds, the one to which he feels called, or, for which he is most talented. The voice eparfmen.t of Olivet offers the most careful foundation work for the beginner, as is the advanced technical and interpretative training for all these avenues of vocal he student may feel assured that the instructors of this department always take en_dj and personal interest in every phase of his vocal development, because they ize that the influence of the human voice is great in moving the hearts of men. y } lT i;xUlUL% Page Seventy ORGANIZATIONS Page Scventy-onc STUDENT COUNCIL HONOR SOCIETY Page Seventy-two tE STUDENT COUNCIL This august body of semi-legislators, performing petitionary functions, is an or- ganization having its origin in 1934. Though young, it has already proved its worth to our college. Here are the members: two from each of the following divisions — upper division college section, Wilma Hewitt and Wright Strong; lower division college section, El- nora Sheppard and Gordon Woods; high school division, Joy Hamer and Joe Trueax; Bible College, Opal Collins and Walter Moore. Professor McClain is the chairman of this council and faculty representative. Thus the council represents the entire study body and the administration. The purpose of this organization is to bring about the best possible understanding between the ad- ministration and the students. In the meetings of this body the students feel that lib- eral consideration is given to their desires by the faculty, and many items which might be real difficulties are easily and satisfactorily negotiated here. From the standpoint of the students Dr. Willingham would say that the Student Council is a hand reaching from the student body toward the administration; from the standpoint of the admin- istration the council is an index finger directing the attention of the faculty to the trend of student sentiment. This body as it is organized represents the best possible balance wheel that has ever been devised for harmony and Utopian ideals in educa- tion at Olivet. Arbitrarily yours. HONOR SOCIETY In any institution it is desirable to recognize those students who have attained su- perior scholastic standing. This society cannot represent the total reward for honest application, but it is some satisfaction as well as worthy achievement to qualify for membership in this august body of noble high-brows. The persons in this group have maintained an average grade above B for one entire semetser. A student is auto- matically dropped from membership if his grade falls below this average. The Honor Society was organized with twenty charter members and Dean Mc- Clain as its sponsor. Please pardon our Shakespeare, but strange enough our old friend Folstaff has philosophized upon this question of honor societies. He says, What is honor? What is valor? You can ' t eat it, you can ' t wear it, and only dead people have it. In other words, what is the purpose of the Honor Society? As I have al- ready said, its first function is to give due recognition to those who have shown supe- rior ability in their class work. Let us say that a second influence equally valuabl -a s the first is found in the prolific stimulus that this organization ramifies among the stu- dents along this all-important point of scholarship. The Honor Society stands as a memorandum, whose pages daily remind us that our mental illuminations must come by the paths of perseverance. Every member refuses chance, objects to doubts, loves questions, and makes some kind of an answer. Luck lies in bed each morning waiting for $10.00 to come in the mail, but such a philosophy will never make you a member of the Honor Society, for these intelligentia have long since learned that: Luck and Pluck go hand in hand. Pluck is Luck ' s big brother. | Luck will never come along, Unless you bring the other. ) Page Seventy-three V. kMAm-HW MEN ' S DEBATE TEAMS 1 WOMEN ' S DEBATE TEAMS Page Sevcntv-f ur INTERCOLLEGIATE DEBATE 1935-1936 The questions used for intercollegiate debate this year were of more than aca- demic interest. The men ' s question for conference debates was Resolved, that the Congress should be empowered to over-ride by a two-thirds vote decisions of the Su- preme Court declaring acts of Congress unconstitutional. In addition to the con- ference contests, the men met Illinois Wesieyan for a radio debate over station WCFL on the question: Resolved, that the present national administration is entitled to a vote of confidence. The women debated the question, Resolved, that the United States should support the League of Nations in its enforcement of sanctions, provided for by the covenant of the League. The timeliness of these national and international problems added greatly to the interest as well as the profit of the 1 935-36 debate program. Besides participating in practice debates with Eastern State Teachers ' College, St. Viator College, and the University of Illinois, all of which schools visited the Olivet campus this year, our teams took part in the annual practice tournament at Normal, Illinois on January 24th and 25th; the Illinois Conference tournament aT Illinois Wesieyan and Normal Universities on March I 3th and 1 4th; and the Manchester tournament, at North Manchester, In- diana, on February 2 I st and 22nd (men). In th e Manchester tournament, participated in only by men, our teams won five and lost five. In the Illinois Conference tournament, participated in by both men ' s and women ' s teams, Oiivet won eight out of sixteen. The Women ' s teams repeated their good showing of last year by tying for second place among the Universities and Colleges of the state which made up the Illinois League.

Larsen, director, and Mrs. Lar- sen, accompanist, this select group has again distinguished itself as a praiseworthy de- partment of Olivet College. As a school we are proud to present to you this organi- zat ion — the Orpheus Chorus. Everything worthwhile that has ever been accomplished has taken effort. But for the long hours of rehearsal, may we assure you, that a sig- nificant achievement has been the result. The chorus has sung this year chiefly modern American anthems, as well as mod- ern arrangement of familiar hymns, having been arranged by Professor and Mrs. Lar- sen. Each year the Orpheus Chorus makes an extensive tour into some section of the educational zone, for the purpose of advertising the school, and soliciting the interest of the young people in Olivet. The tour this year covered one thousand miles. Among the churches visited were Flint, Detroit, and Lansing, Michigan; Fort Wayne and Gary, Indiana; Chicago and Danville, Illinois. Not only does this tour represent the school, but the members of the chorus count this as a great reward for the hours spent in rehearsal. We wish to thank Professor and Mrs. Larsen for the 1936 Orpheus Chorus. MESSIAH CHOIR The Olivet Oratorio Society has enjoyed the privilege this year of presenting that masterpiece of sacred music literature, Handel ' s Messiah, to a large audience of responsive and appreciative listeners. However, this great work does not need the stamp of our approval. Mozart, Franz, and other great musicians have worked over it with enthusiasm. The public in many lands, though most of all in America and England, have given it a measure of approbation such as never yet has distinguished any other work by any musician. It stands as the most popular of all oratorios, and is sung hundreds of times each year in the United States. Although, through much use, parts of it are worn well nigh to tat- ters, the whole stands as fast and firm as ever. This year 150 singers participated in a successful presentation. We hope to in- crease this number to 200 during the 1936-37 season. The soloists for the premiere performance at Olivet were Miss Lois Sutton, soprano; Mrs. Naomi Larsen, contralto; Mr. H. H. Price, tenor, and Mr. Melvin Anderson, bass. We feel that the students of our college have been benefited and blessed by the singing of the great choruses, such as BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD , WOR- THY IS THE LAMB , and the universally familiar HALLELUJAH . Our young-peo- ple have also had the privilege of hearing the immortal arias, He Was Despised ' , I Know My Redeemer Liveth , and He Shall Feed His Flock . The rendition of The Messiah is traditional with many denominational col of this country, and it is our plan to present it annually during the commencement se son of Olivet College. Paye Scvcntv-scvcn ORCHESTRA BAND Page Seventy-eight ORCHESTRA The apex for the orchestra this school year was reached when it appeared for its annual concert in May. Each member proved himself a capable musician, handling with ease the most difficult passages of Tobani ' s Surprise Symphony . Everyone appreciates the work of Mrs. H. H. Price who, with the co-operation of every member, has made this organization a success. The personnel of the orchestra consists of twenty individuals selected from the entire student body who demonstrated ability and expressed a desire to become a member of the organization. Among those who came to us as new students was Miss Geraldine Steele, who for some time was a member of the Peoria Symphony Orchestra. We have greatly ap- preciated her work, both as a violin soloist and as a loyal member of the orchestra. It is impossible to eulogize too highly the service rendered by Mrs. Price. It been an arduous task to revive the interest in what was, a few years ago, a non-fu tioning organization. For your work, Mrs. Price, we wish to express our sincere app elation and desire that in the future the orchestra will occupy even a more import place in the music department of our school. BAND In the fall of 1935 some young fellows assembled for the purpose of tootin ' a blowin ' . Using at first a semi-trial-and-error method, they soon apprehended th potential compatibility lay pent up in the various wind-currents that blew from mou piece to bell. The result — a lawn concert in October, a concert in the chapel in D cember, and appearances at various other musicales — and the audiences liked it. Twenty selected musicians play in this band. Several of them have display rare skill in handling their respective instruments. Soloists who have appeared dij rious programs include Mr. Howard Sylvia, trumpet; Mr. Harold Johnston, tuba; MV. Bill Smith, drums; Mr. Remiss Rehfeldt, clarionetist. New personnel was added fb- band this year, namely, Mr. Weiss, Mr. Chilton, Mr. Sears, Mr. Euler, Mr. Bea ' ch and Miss Davis. Mr. Remiss Rehfeldt has been the efficient conductor of the band this year,(S Page Seventy-nine Krmjarrrtm-tt i«reens; n 1 STUDENT PASTORS CHRISTIAN WORKERS ;i ;_ ' ,T) ' v y-n THr niriwiiuxjy ' Page Eighty STUDENT PASTORS The picture of your future pastor may be in this group! Who knows? One thing is certain — here is a group of young men and women whose hearts are aflame with the love of Christ and who have a burning zeal to carry the gospel message to others. Desiring to do their best for the Lord, they have come to Olivet to prepare for this task. While here, these young people have not only been securing excellent training in the classrooms, but they have gone a step further and have been gaining valuable practical knowledge by actually filling the pastorates of nearby churches, within a radius of fifty miles around Olivet. Each one of these student pastors has done we this year, if we may judge by the good revivals which they have conducted and the growth of the various churches, both in Sunday School attendance and in church mem- bership. May God add his blessings to the student pastors as they carry the gospel in sermon and song. CHRISTIAN WORKERS Ouite naturally, one would expect to find in Olivet College, some young men and young women who are not only preparing for Christian work, but also are actually doing Christian work as they prepare. Well, here they are! This group of godly and spirit-filled workers have consecrated their lives to God. They do not merely desire to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ, they are earnestly striving to promote His Kingdom here on earth. The vital spark of evangelistic zea pervades this group. ( - The world will be influenced by these lives now in preparation for effective service in years to come. Some of them will become evangelists, some pastors, some missioji- aries. May each of them eternally persist in maintaining that ideal offChristi service so adequately stated by William Carey, Expect great things frp-m God, b tempt great things for God.

The momentous question must bring open warfare. It came! Suddenly one chapel hour, the populace found itself faced by a platform full of bellig- erent party leaders lined in battle array. President Strong of the Democrats vowed that his side would win or die in the attempt. Equally defiant was President Moore of the Republicans. Feeling ran high — the populus was mobilized and war was formally declared, the students being divided into two opposing camps. The cause was the problem of advertising the Aurora. Battle began at onca Basketball skirmishes, word combats, pep meetings, and distribution of propaganda were general accompaniments. But the greatest battles were fought with moking ) pens and pencils, and with machine-gun typewriters in a steady rat-a-tat-tat, as ' volley after volley of letters were dispatched to the Olivet Federal Building. Far rn1 night were some of those battles fought until sheer exhaustion brought silence. on th firing lines. From the first, the Republicans were victorious. Ten days of keen competition brought the complete rout of the Democrats. afte which a parade of the Republicans, headed by a genuine donkey, celebrating ine victory. The treaty of peace was drawn up by a third party, which swallowed up all f factions, and brought back friendship through its one lone member and represent Billie Barnes, the Aurocrat. The famous Aurora picnic finally absorbed all trace possible malice and established permanent peace. Page Eighty-three VU-kUJl til: K-fc m I CXW 1 lb ; a ALUMNI Someone has said that A college is made or ruined by its alumni. Olivet College stands today in the best condition it has ever been in from the standpoint of its physical equipment, its finances, and its enrollment. Now over five hundred men and women who are graduates from the various de- partments of our school, are its representatives all over the world. We are the recipi- ents of the prayers, efforts and investments of others. We have not and shall not forget the benefits we have received or the debt we owe to God and to our alma mater. On the other hand, we are striving to be a factor in her continued enlarge- ment. , This last year the Alumni Association paid a $ I 00 scholarship which was received by Miss Freida Schulz. In addition to this the Association has operated the Print Shop which has provided approximately $150 worth of work for students and given the alumni the Alumni News, a small news bulletin. We have not attained the beginning of what we can or must do, but we are ear- nestly praying for wisdom to find ways to increase our usefulness. By the help ot feod, and the co-operation of our fellow-graduates, we will succeed. With love and devotion in our hearts and loyalty as our watchword, we con- inue our efforts for a bigger and better Olivet College. F. C. BIRCHARD, President, Alumni Association. FREIDA SCHULZ Racine, Wisconsin Winner of the 1935 Alumni Scholarship BR IS ' i Page Eighty-six PUBLICATIONS C i Three publications — I. annual; 2 quarterly; 3 daily. Perhaps the Aurora and Collegian are better known than the Campus Ghost, which is a daily edition. The Campus Ghost is a note- worthy student publication containing all the im- portant news items of the school day — stale jokes submitted by the profs, future announcements, that never materialize, births, deaths, obituaries, and what have you. Outside of this, let me say, the sentiment of the students and faculty is thanks to the editor of the Ghost for a paper written in a witty, unique, and interesting style. The quarterly publication known as the Colle- gian is edited by Professor Howe. This bulletin contains all the important news of the school terms, and announcements which are of special interest to prospective students. The best ex- pression of Christian education to the young people of the Church of the Nazarene at the present time is to be found in this publication. If you desire to keep your finger on the pulse of progress in our school, add your name to the Collegian mailing list. Not only is this paper circulated by the Administration, but its worthy sponsor, the said Howe, is also personally circulated among nearby high schools for the purpose of making commencement addresses. Having neglected our vice-president somewhat, I take this opportunity to state his credentials, understand these were handed to me by the gentleman in question just a few hours ago. Quoting the Professor, Professo L. H. Howe and How, with the mental powers of Socrates, the oratorical ability of Demosthenes, the figure of an Apollo, and the wit of Will Rogers — unquote Professor Howe. Has spoken at random, at length, at last and upon other pertinent questions of the day with the greatest applause and boohs, unquote Russell L. Guin, Natipna President of the American Business Men ' s Association. So my friends, without further obligation regarding the professor ' s ability, you may rest assured that these publ tions are the literary masterpieces of the day. Editorially yours THE EDITOR vvLimtrm- m krotrraV Page Eighty-seven TRIO The Harmony Boys, Harold Johnston, Joe Trueax, and Walter Moore, are going out again this summer to represent the school. We imagine that they have the great- est of sympathy for the fabled grasshopper that sang all summer. To sing when the dust is choking, and the temperature is soaring, reguires more grace than most of us Hi-aye. These boys have effectually represented our school. We are proud of them. We wonder how many students are enrolled in school, how much money has been j raised, and how much of our constituency has been sold on Olivet, because of these tfvfee boys. This we can not estimate, bu+ the services — yes, and more than services — tbe giving of their very selves for the cause of our school, has benefited us much. ' e wish ) for them a very successful summer. a • , • ' f rn -cnnzmk .

One more inter- esting basketball season has come to a close. Although competition was keen, and the teams were evenly matched, the veteran Indians battled their way through to another year of victory. The Indians never realize when they are beaten, and they fight until the last whistle blows. This spirit no doubt accounts for their success- ful year, claiming four out of their six conference games. The Indians will lose three regulars by graduation, Captain Strong, Browning, and Gibson. Whit- canack, F. Chalfant, and Hertenstein remain as a nucleus for a strong team next year. This year, the Trojans added new recruits to their team. Captain Walker and Rehfeldt, with Williams, Seeding, McGraw and Cox as new members played great ball, and had perhaps the best forward combination in school. Fast passing and accu- rate shooting helped them to nose out the Spartans and capture second place. Two men will not be available next year; Rehfeldt will be lost by graduation and Walker by transfer to the University of Illinois. Even though the Spartans came in for third place, they are far from being a third- rate team. This team was the only one to defeat the championship Indians, giving them their only two defeats. The Spartans were able to start the year with three regu- lars from last year ' s team, Captain Daniels, Weathers, and Reeves. The remaining positions were ably filled by M. Chalfant, Sylvia, and K. Hutchinson. This team started out rather slowly, but steadily improved throughout the season. They are losing only one man this year — Reeves, who is graduating. Page Ninety-one rv sec k ht ' ttanacA I trngdon (?r reA ' fix X. TX r tj vrT - fM x mw - Pane Ninety-two GIRLS BASKETBALL STRICKLER PRICE Once again the Spartan six emerges undefeated! Thus tor two consecutive years, the Spartans have taken the basket- ball honors. Under the coach- ing of little Herbie Daniels, the girls maintained their usual skill, especially in team work. The forwards were excellent shots, so it is not difficult to see why a majority of points usually went to the Spartans. June Mongerson, captain; J. Nichol- son, and O. Greer complete the forward line-up. The guards were Miriam Willingham, E. Greer and M. Cracker. These guards just simply pounce on the ball like a cat would catch a rat all to the supreme de- light of the forwards and other Spartan sympathizers. When we say Indian girls, we don ' t mean real honest-to-goodness red-skins like those who once roamed these plains; all of those Indians have moved farther west. But to see Captain Crain with the other five squaws on the basketball floor gives you a mighty good picture of craftiness and skill at the game. The little Phillips girl, and B. Langdon, who has acquired the nickname of Herbs from her Indian nature, com- plete the forward line-up, while Caskey, Barnett, and Whitcanack stand guards. These Indian teams are usually in the van with plenty of scalps, but then there are the falls of Minnehaha. And so it has been with these girls, but like good Indians it ' s always laughing water. To hold third place does not mean that third place is void of praise or virtue, for many of the basketball games were hard fought, nip and tuck to the very finish. And here let us say the Trojans are to be commended very highly for their ability even though they had the breaks against them. I ' m inclined to believe that as there were plenty of possibilities in the historical old house of Troy, so there are plenty of pessF — bilities among the women of Troy — yes, enough to begin with South Gree6e7 take- Sparta, then come to Illinois and capture the Indians, all without shot or feloodshi If you don ' t believe it, ask Martha Fix, R. McClanahan, E. Schulz, F. Bake?PT=leai Moore, Anna M. Keeney, and E. Greek.

Tennis is one of the most popular sports at Olivet, and the warm spring weather necessary for enjoying tennis cannot come too soon. Perhaps two of the most dangerous players in school are Morris Chalfant, who plays a consistent hand, and Francis Bonar, who wields a deadly forehand and backhand drive. Remiss Rehfeldt and Preston James will meet these two gentlemen for the first game of the tourney. Fred Gibson and Fred Chalfant, representing the Indians, hope to win the tournament and they stand a mighty good chance. Among the girls, B. Langdon and F. Phillips will play for the Indians. M. F. Emerson and E. Moore will play for the Trojans. Olive Greer and Pauline Wisdom, the former an old Spartan star, will defend the Spartan honors. Lots of fun for those who like tennis.

MINISTERIAL COLLABORATION Fred Gibson always had trouble composing his sermons, while on the other hand he was a splendid orator. Melvin Anderson could not speak well, but he was an excellent composer of ser- mons. One Sunday morning both planned to preach in the same church. Rev. Anderson hid under the pulpit, and the honorable Rev. Gibson made a solemn and dignified ap- pearance on the platform before his congregation. Melvin in a monotone began the eloquent sermon, Moses made atonement for srael, Dr. Gibson (hard of hearing) solemnly declared, Moses made ointment for srael. Rev. Anderson, very much alarmed and disgusted, cried out impatiently: ' You silly nut, you ' ve spoiled it all. Dr. Gibson dramatically threw out the words, ' And the silly nut spilled it all. A breaking up time followed in the congregation. No man is too busy to live. ' To err is human; to forgive, divine. ' BEN CARSON PHARMACY PRESCRIPTION SPECIALISTS 912 N.
