Out in the open spaces, Far from the noisy throng, Where soft winds Whisper through waving grass And you thrill to the lark's glad song. You may catch from the sunrise glory Which stamps on your golden day The image of God's first Eden, The wonder of God's first day. There in a fellowship hallowed, With Him you may rise to life's bestg You may see all life transfigured, You may learn of Him how to rest But go back with your luminous secret! Take your place where life's stress is strong Face life at its fiercest angle- You may now carry on with a song.

The sophomore team composed of Angus Springer, Cecil Colley and Wellington Winchester won from the freshmen negative team. There were six inter-collegiate debates with Southwest Baptist, Drury and Miami Colleges. Both teams triumphed over the Southwest Baptist teams, the aHirm- ative composed of Springer, Colley and Winchester at home and the negative, Tom- linson, Ghan and Harvey Flower at Bolivar. In the Drury debate the negative team: Tomlinson and Ghan won at home while th affirmative, Springer and Colley, lost a two to one decision at Springfield. Both teams were awarded unanimous decisions over the Miami debaters, the affirmative team debating in Miami. We were given five victories out of six inter- collegiate debates. The question for debate was the one used by the Missouri Debating Association of which Ozark Wesleyan College is a member. It was: Resolved, that congress should enact legislation embodying the principles of the McNary-Haugen Bill. Professor B. B. Wood was coach of debate and Angus Springer was manager. Miss Clarabell Banta trained the speakers in delivery. 'fl mmnmHfrmuunxumrxfn A ? E? Ee! 7 W ia Q1 ' QUHHHHHIHHIIJIIIIIWH HIHHHHIHHIHIIIHHHIIHIHIV Y. M. C. A.

Wesleyan Players Cn March 21 the Wesleyan Players produced three excellent one-act plays, The Maker of Dreams, by Oliphant Downsg Judge Lynch, by John Wm. Rogers, Jr., and The Flattering Word, by George Kelley, Which were well received. At the time of writing, the Players are beginning work on The Fool, a mag- nificent four-act play by Channing Pollock. This is the most stupendous task ever attempted by amateurs in Carthage. It is probably the greatestmodern religious drama. The members of the club feel the importance of the task and that the merit of this fine production calls for their best eH'orts. J- J 1 The story of this play has such a great message that'the club is hoping for a large crowd to which to impart this message. They feel that to do something really worth while should be the ultimate goal of dramatic production. A To Miss Banta, who has spent so much of her timegin making the success of the club possible, the Wesleyan Players wish to give allgtlhe credit which is so justly due her. Without her help nothing could have been accomplished.

It was a season wherein was exhibited some wonderful playing and some pretty rotten. It was a season that in one way might be called a success and in another not. Only once were the Lions outplayed, yet they lost five games. Two were the result of overcomi- dence, lack of support, etc., one was stolen, one was lost by the breaks and in the other they were beaten by a better team. From the standpoint of games won and lost the season can be called only fairly successful. Yet when we stop to think that the Lions far outplayed eight of their nine opponents and should have won those eight games, when we think of the widespread publicity and highly favorable com- ment received from many sources on their ability and sportsmanship, when pictures of the team, Coach Moon, Captain McGaughey were printed in the Kansas City Jour- nal-Postg when all have been paid tribute by such a man as Edward W. Cochraneg and finally, when Ozark Wesleyan has been invited by two state leagues to join their organizations, and will probably in time join the Missouri College Union, can anyone say the season has not been successful? In nine games played, the Lions scored 165 points to their opponents' 80. Cap- tain McGaughey led the team in scoring with 33 points made by 3 touchdowns, 2 field goals and nine points after touchdown. Cummins was close behind with 30 points, the result of 5 touchdowns. Ross, Souter, and Roberts each scored 18 points on three touchdowns. Five other men figured in the scoring: Gibbons, 13, Sellinger 85 Kirby 73 and Richardson and Cummings 6 each. The Lions scored 23 touchdowns to 153 2 tield goals to 1, and 13 points after touchdown to 5. In the 8 games, not counting the St. pleted 56 forward passes to 22g made 112 times for a total of 1586 yards, an average for a total yardage of 2763, an average of game was with Parsons where he averaged mud of the Kemper game, 36 yards. These of which we have no record, opponents' 507. They com-- to 34, opponents punted 63 g McGaughey kicked 60 times over 46 yards for every punt. His best 56 yards, and his worst in the rain and figures should surely show that the Lions Louis game, the Lions gained from scrimmage 1702 yards to their first downs of 25 yards deserved better than 4 out of 9 games. A brief review of the season's games follows: Fort Scott Junior College. The first game of the season found the Lions on the short end of a 7-0 score, the result of a 40-yard pass in the first quarter. The Lions did not play the kind of game they were capable of. Once in the fourth quarter they carried the ball to the five-yard line but could not put it over. They outplayed their opponents but lacked the old fight. mwlllllllllllflHHHIIIHIIHIWHI I!HllllllllllllllllIIIIIIHIIIHHH' WIIHHHPilHlHlJ!!J!I'll'l!l HHHIHHNHWUHIIIIIIHWV Kemper Military Academy. Rain, slush, wind, and mud did not stop the Lions from trimming the highly touted cadets, 6-3. The Lions outplayed their opponents in every department of the game. Kemper started the scoring with a field goal in the third period. With about five minutes to play Richardson snared a punt and aided by brilliant interference, dashed down the sidelines to the goal fifty yards away. The Lions simply refused to be beaten. Parsons Junior College. 13-9 against the Lions reads the score. But the score doesn't tell half the story. Twice the umpire gave Parsons touchdowns and twice he robbed the Lions. Parsons' first touchdown was made when a player was allowed to hide on the sidelines and get away with a long pass. Then Richardson raced 95 yards to a touchdown only to be called back and penalized for something, nobody ever found out what. Then Rob- erts hooked a 60-yard pass, to again have the Lions penalized and the ball brought back. Finally Parsons was handed a free touchdown on supposed interference on a pass over the goal line. Yes, the Lions were beaten--not! Southwest Baptist College. Overconfidence, lack of support, the don't give a whoop spirit and butter- fingers beat the Lions 6-0. Their playing was terrible. Fumbles cost them more than one chance to score and caused Bolivar's score. Missouri Military Academy. A raging Lion, smarting under the sting of two defeats, ran rough-shod over their opponents, scoring eight touchdowns and five points after touchdown to win 61-0. The Lions gained 570 yards to Mexico's 28, and made 24 first downs to 0. This was Home-Coming Day besides the game the day was featured by a mammoth parade and a banquet. Bacone Indians. By over-whelming the strong Bacone team by the score of 44-0, the Lions more than avenged last year's 13-12 defeat. The Lions played great football, scoring six touchdowns, while McGaughey booted 5 goals after touchdown and a field. Arkansas University Freshmen. Beaten by the breaks-13-14. Outplaying the Frosh in every phase of the game the Lions were forced to accept defeat in one of the most brilliantly played and thrill- ing games ever seen in Carthage. A hard-blowing south wind caused all the trouble, blowing back a punt that resulted in Arkansas' second touchdown, and blowing from their paths a kick after touchdown that would have tied the game, and a field goal that would have won it. The quarter passing drive of the Lions was without doubt the mostmost brilliant and thrilling work in Carthage football history.

In the last home game of the season, the Lions buried the Miami Miners under a 32-7 score. The Lions took it easy, but took advantage of the breaks to run up the score, while completely outplaying their opponents. St. Louis University Freshmen. Then the Lions journeyed to the big town to play one of the best teams in Mis- souri. Up against a combination of six inches of mud and a heavy fog which com- pletely ruined their passing game, the Lions were outclassed by their heavier and older opponents, sliding in the mud to a 30-0 defeat. The team was ably and efficiently coached by Dr. Frank B. Moon and Jimmie Gibbons, and much of the success of the team was due to their efforts. Eighteen members of the team received letters and sweaters They are Captain Otis McGaughey Galen Campbell Cecil Murrell Capt.-Elect Harry Roberts Byron Moore Edward Sellinger Ralph Ross Ancell Lewis Erwin Davis Seth Gibbons Clint Powell Ted Mermoud Johnny Souter Paul Baker Paul Terry Thurston Cummins Basil Kirby Charles Cummings ' The rest of the squad who trained faithfully with these eighteen day after day, deserve a lot more credit than they ever receive.

After three weeks the squad was cut to twelve men. As it was in the case of football, the Lions won four and lost five games. The closeness of the games lost shows the type of game the Lions played and the type of teams they were up against. Two games were lost by only 2 points, one by 7, the other by 9. In their victories the Lions won by a wide enough margin to make their total season score 254 points as against 230. And, as in the football season, the Lions were known far and wide as a fast, hard-playing, clean bunch of sportsmen. The Lions committed an average of less than SVZ fouls per game, which is clean playing. Again as in football, the number of games won and lost would not tend to show as highly successful. But the real aim of competitive athletics is to play the game, and the Lions did. The summary of the games: Draughon's Business College. The first game of the season was lost by a score of 26-23. It was a hard- fought, fast game, see-sawing throughout, the winner only a matter of who was ahead when the whistle blew. Draughon's Business College. The dedication of the college gym found the Lions again opposed to Draugh- on's and again saw the boys from Springiield beat the Lions, this time 23-15. The Lions led throughout the first half, but blew up in the last half. Drury College. Drury trimmed the Lions for their third defeat in a spectacular game hard to equal. Two extra five-minute periods were necessary to decide the victor when the game ended in a 15-all tie. In the remaining seconds of the last over-time period, Drury won 17-15 on a lucky one-handed shot. Drury College. The Lions gained revenge by trimming the Drury panther's claws by a score of 23-20. A sensational comeback in the face of almost certain defeat tells the story. With 13 minutes to go and the score 18-'7 against them, the Lions staged a brilliant rally, scoring 16 consecutive points, while the largest crowd of the season went com- pletely batfy.

Even when they were being lieaten, the Lions continued to play better basketball than Ft. S-cott. Northeast Oklahoma Junior College. A remodeled Lion team romped all over the Miami Miners ln a one-sided game, defeating them 45-15. It was the worst game of the season. Joplin Independents. In the first half of this game, the Lions displayed the best team-play that any Lion team has produced, piling up a big lead. They just coasted through the second half to win 36-34. Southwest Baptist College. The best team the Lions encountered had to extend themselves to their utmost to beat the Lions by a few points, 39-30. At one stage of the game, the Lions were within one point of tying the score, but gave way to the better team. Joplin Independents. For the second time, and in the same decisive manner, the Lions beat the Joplin Independents, the score was 35-20. The game was slow from lack of competition.

This meet took the place of the annual Carthage high school invitation meet, which has been the district's biggest meet for a number of years. Pittsburg, Kansas, high school won the meet with 33 8-15, a lead of 12 points over Carthage, who finished second. Columbus was third in the scoring, falling behind Carthage by a small fraction of a point, while Mountain Grove was fourth, half a point behind Carthage. Honors for high point man were tied between Klaner of Pittsburg and Reece of Mountain Grove, each of whom made 15 points. Klaner won the toss for the cup, but Reece will be given another by the college authorities. Pittsburg took another of the cups, the one for the high point team. Columbus won both the half-mile and the mile relays to carry home the other two cups offered in the meet. First, second and third places in each event were awarded medals. Of 17 schools entered in the meet, only two failed to place. The meet was at- tended by the largest crowd of the meet's history, probably because it was held on the college field. It was run off satisfactorily with the coaches of the diferent schools de- clar'ing their intention of coming back next year. While all records of the former Carthage High School invitation meet were discarded, and records made in this meet will stand until broken in successive meets, several of the old marks were broken, two of them by Carthage athletes. Leo Brooks of Carthage cleared the bar in the high jump at 5 feet, 1093 inches, to break his brother's record of 5 feet, SV2 inches, set by Fred Brooks in 1925. Thomas Dumphy of Carthage set a new record for the district in the 120-yard high hurdles with a time of 16.8 seconds, breaking the record of 17 seconds set by Starr of Sheldon in 1925. Klaner of Pittsburg did the 100-yard dash in 10 seconds flat to equal the record set by McMahon of Monett in 1920 and equaled by Miller of Monett in 1925. Fulkerson of Picher ran the 440 in 51.9 to surpass the tied records of Allen of Joplin in 1922 and Keithley of Nevada in 1925, their mark being 53 seconds. Reece of Mountain Grove tossed the discus 116 feet to break the old record of 115 feet, 1 inch, set in 1923 by Bunker of Nevada. willIIHIHlHHHHllIHlIIIHII Wulf:11urralmnrwummn wrmmmrmrwrffrumawww 4 1 ' ' The total points of the teams competing follows: Pittsburg, 33 8-15, Carthage, 21V2, Columbus, 21 1-5, Mountain Grove, 21, Mt.

The final score was 53-51 with the- freshmen on the long end. By all the right of track pro- ceedures the sophomores should have won be'cause they issued the bloody challenge to the yearling lion cubs but when they met the doughty freshmen their best efforts were not sufficient and so the victory bird perched on the colors of the flying fresh- men. The sophomores led in number of first places, making six firsts to the freshmen's five and tying the freshmen for first in the high jump. The yearlings had the honor of garnering the most points but the sophomores fur- nished the high point man of the day in the person of O. S. Headlee, a man mighty in field events and skilled in. the art of using his great bulk scientifically. He picked up 20 points in the course of events. Of these, three were first, and a third. He won the discus, broad jump, shot put, and tied with Cowgill in the high jump for first. Headlee led the procession of scor:-s with twenty points, Christman and Rout each had ten points to their credit and Cowgill and Moore came next with nine points. The outcome -of the meet was in doubt until thee last event, the half mile relay. The sophomores were leading in points until then but the freshmen copped the race to win the meet by the narrow margin already mentioned. The whole college was represented in the meet although it was called the fresh- men-sophomore meet. The academy combined with the freshmen, the junior college assisted the sophomores. Both the academy and the juniors aided materially in the scoring. SUMMARY Shot put-Headlee, sophomore, iirstg Baker, freshman, second, Moore, freshman, third. Distance 39 feet, 7 inches.

There were exactly 30 entries in the tourney. Had Tilden been entered he would have had to extend himself to rival some of the experts from Ozark Wesleyan. The tournament was won by John Dennison when he vanquished Vernon Bradford in the finals in four hard-fought sets. The scores were 6-4, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3. In the first match of the finals, there being three, Dennison had whipped Collier 9-7, 8-6, in some very spectacular tennis, in some places of the match the best of the tournament. Those 'entered in the tournament and the pairings for the first round are as fol- lows: Willington Winchester vs. Vernon Bradford, Basil Kirby vs. Ralph Ross, Benny 'Martin vs. Sydney Eells, Herbert Van Fleet vs. William Johnson, Homer Magill vs. Paul Baker, Galen Campbell vs. Homer Mote: Woodson Oldham vs. Raymond Tomlin- Lson, Garet Cummings vs. Wrey Rout, Donald Collier vs. Angus Springer, Glen Peck vs. Harold Ward, Lloyd Cowgill vs. O. B. Duffendack, Charles Cummings vs. Byron Moore, Walter Baird vs. Charles James, John Dennison vs. Ancel Lewis, Burke Rand vs. Warren Foster. On his way to the finals and to the championship Dennison disposed of Ancel Lewis, Charles James, Warren Foster, and Donald Collier before meeting Bradford. Bradford won over Willington Winchester, Basil Kirby, and Ray Rout before losing to Dennison. Collier the third man to reach the finals, tooik a forfeit from Springer, and beat Peck and Cowgill before falling before Dennison. The final match between Dennison and Bradford displayed some very good and at times some rather poor tennis. Both men played an even, steady game without much hard driving. Dennison vanquished his rival with superior work at the net, he being easily the class of the tourney at this branch of the game. Bradford played a good back court game but had a streak of driving into the net on numerous occasions, which had much to do with his downfall. It was an exceptionally well-played match, only proving again that a good big man can beat a good little man in this sport as in others. Collier in his match with Dennison played some spectacular tennis, at times the best in the tournament. But he was particularly unsteady at other times, contributing more than anything else to his defeat. Taken all in all, the tournament was by far the most successful yet held. There hasl been more interest in. the tennis game this spring than ever before, so much in fact that another court was put into shape by the players. Not only boys but girls made good use of the two college courts. The game is growing more and more popu- lar with the college students, and rightly so, ior it is a game that requires skill, stam- ina, a good eye and a steady hand, and a 'clear mind. May tennis grow more and more as a major sport in the hearts of our students. Wlfllllllilllllllllllllllllllllllll U W HIHIHHIlllllllIII4IIIIlHIIHHIl'7 i' 7 gg Q?

Side Square Carthage, Mo OUR 25TH YEHR---OUR SILVER YEAR A NATION WIDE C Quarter Hundred of Years Old The quarter-century milepost of the foundation of this Company is reached this year. From an unpre- tentious start, the Company's progress has been notable in mercantile history. This has not been simply because of its remarkable growth, but more noticeably on account of the success its many stores have attained in giving a service to the public that has been idealized by customers. Through all the 25 years, the concern of the Company has been chiefly in providing high standard quality goods at lowest possible prices and safeguarding its customers so that this service might always be enjoyed by them. Day after day and year after year, the Company in every way, has endeavored to serve the public better than was ex- t d Tht 't h eded ' he d ' h occ e . a i as succe in t se en eavors is s own by the fact that the combined sales of all its stores in 1926 were approximately 325,009,000 more than in 1925, 1 What is worse than raining cats an dogs? cl 'Hailing taxicabsf' Sk if HK 1 'Gonna buy me a drink ?

WMU!!!HHHHIIIHHIIHHHIHQ HHHIlllllllbllllllllllllIHHIUIV Advice to ilie Class of '28 Freshmen, we feel that we, who have trod the stony pathways to success for four long years should show you the magnitude of your responsibility, and instruct you that you too may some day march proudly up to the front of the stage distinguished by the gorgeous gown, which will stilt you above the common herd and secure the coveted sheep skin which certifies that you have completed the course of study, and that you may be perfectly happy in the thought that you have accomplished soul pur- pose. It is more than our right, it is our sacred duty to instruct those of little expe- rience and less intelligence that you may be better prepared to meet difficulties and troubles which you know not of. You'll find it wholesome so see that thou incline thine ears unto the wisdom and advice that we have worthily prepared to still your brawling discontent. Freshmen, like the children of Israel you have passed through the wilderness and now stand looking down upon the promised landg but ah! as I survey your ranks I see Many a Moses whose weary feet are destined never to trod that sacred soil. To the others I would say that the land commonly supposed to be flowing with only milk and honey is filled with horrible giants and dragons which must be overcome before you inhabit that land. Do not get the idea that you have passed through the hardest work of school life and that flowery beds of ease await you, your youthful minds unused to such hard tasks will be severely taxed by your next years work. Whichever way you turn new obstacles confront you, new specters rise to haunt our troubled slumbersg on every hand are found the giants which infest the land, and instead of your labors being finished you will find they are but well begun. When in difficulty remember the teakettle though up to its neck in hot water, it continues to sing. Do not pause to rest from your labors for the ground you travel is dangerous quicksand and engulfs the weary. Lift up your eyes and behold that luminous star which glorifles the achievements of the class of '27. Follow the star. Follow in broad paths of wisdom and learning which we have made for you. Now I do not wish to be misunderstood. I am not expect- ing anything unreasonable of you. Of course you could not more fill our place than the small boy in the fairy story could iill the giant's boots but by strivnig for the unattain- able you will lift yourselves several rounds of the ladder of success. As I give this advice I prove the desire to the graduating class that your class also may press forward toward graduation and reach your goal and that you may be crowned with laurels. But remember that you are approaching a limit you can never reach. This limit is the glorious class of 1927. Remember also that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The tide of college classes has in its ebb car- ried us far inland even beyond the extraordinary classes and deposited. us on dry land. Beware! O, beware lest in its ebb you will be swallowed up in the great sea of commonality. willHHHHHIHIHHIIHHHHH .
