VOLUME XI Published by the Students of Spring ylrbor Seminary and SJunior College FOREWORD In the great world of education today, men have forgotten their three-fold nature. To compensate for this neglect of the spiritual nature, educators have over-stressed the training of the mental as merely the mental, and the physical as merely the physical. It is the purpose of the student body of Spring Arbor Seminary and Junior College in presenting this Echo, to hold before you the education of the spiritual side of man, the necessary complement of the mental and physical natures to build a perfect, harmonious whole. This is Christian Education! TO MRS. FINIS O. CRAIG who, through six years of unselfish service, emanating from a consecrated Christian life, loyal to the interests of Christian Education has won our respect and admiration, we, the student body of Spring Arbor Seminary and Junior College lovingly dedicate this volume of The Echo. IN MEMORIAM Professor A. H. Stilwcll, princip.il of Spring Arbor Seminary from 1883 to 1893. It is a pleasure to add a note of appreciation in grateful remembrance of bis faithful and impartial administration. He was a Christian of the cheerful type, and always seemed to maintain an attitude of buoyant courage toward his work, of whatever nature it might be, and so instilled into the hearts of the students the glorious possibility of conquering their tasks. Many carried away with them to their various fields of labor the high ideals he held forth in the school-room and elsewhere as occasion offered and exemplified in his life. M. C. A.

The two years that we have spent in Spring Arbor have meant a great deal to us, and we shall always look back on those two years with a great deal of pleasure. As Freshmen, our class was well represented in one of the best-known of our school organizations by having ten of our members in the A Cappclla chorus. One of our group succeeded in obtaining a place on the debate team, and as a class we have taken a great deal of interest in other school activities. Our class returned to school last fall with a loss of fifteen of our members. We were very sorry to lose so many, and have often wished that those who did not return this year could have been here to enjoy the functions in which we have participated. To start the year off right for the College Freshmen, we entertained them at Swain’s Lake. The Frcshics were made to wear green crepe-paper baby dresses, which really looked very fitting. Everyone took part in the games, and all seemed sorry when the evening was over. Early one morning in October, the Sophomore class left for a two-day vacation at Wolf Lake. Most of our time was spent in rowing, participating in horseshoes, baseball, and eats. We shall never forget the night we slept in cabins and, as one stated, about froze to death before morning.” Those two days were so enjoyable that we were all very sorry when Saturday evening arrived and we had to leave. There was only one regrettable thing about it all: that there had been only one Freshman who had bid us good-bye on our departure from S. A. However, they made up for it by all turning out to welcome us on our return. To show us how glad they were that we had returned safely, they served us refreshments and gave each of us a ridiculous souvenir to carry around with us on the following Monday. One evening in March, the Sophomores assembled for a sleigh-ride party. Although the wind was very cold and the sleet stung our faces, we all had a very good time. After about an hour of riding the sleigh, we returned to the Administration building, where we were served refreshments and played games. As the year draws toward a close, there is a feeling of sadness in our hearts that we have to leave Spring Arbor, and we hope that as a class we have contributed something which will help in making the school, our Alma Mater, a bigger success.

At last wc arc in college. Many of us have looked forward to this a long time. This year sees our dream being realized. And, on the whole, wc are finding the experiences and activities of college life very pleasant. Early in the year we were initiated into the college by the Sophomores who dressed us in green jackets to indicate our freshness. Also, the Sophomores treated us to a good time at Swain’s Lake. An unique program of games and illustrated ghost stories was provided by our hosts. One of the most exciting experiences of the year was trying to sec the Sophomores off on their skip-hike. Several week-ends we snooped about at night spying on the Sophs. Then, when we were least expecting it, they left. However, all the cars but one were seen leaving and we gave Dean Updykc a jolly send-off. Following our usual custom, we gave our first class party in honor of our much loved Honorary Member, Master Wilson Palmer Banks. He was presented with a tricycle suitable for the dignity of a two-year-old, and he immediately made practical use of it. Then in March we braved a driving sleet-storm for a sleigh-ride party. Rolling in the snow, hurling snowballs, and chasing each other we enjoyed to the full the heaviest snow of the year. After the ride we went to the Dining Hall where we enjoyed a delicious lunch. Then wc played games. This year the Freshmen have figured prominently in the extra-curricular activities of the school. In soccer the boys won second place in the tournament, being defeated by one score eased over in the third over-time period after dark had fallen. In basket-ball and volley-ball also, the boys were runners-up. The Freshmen girls had somewhat better athletic success, being champions in both indoor and basket-ball. In the College Declamatory Contest the Freshmen again took the honors, two Freshman girls tying for first place. However, while enjoying the social side of college life, we have not neglected the main purpose of our being in Spring Arbor, the obtaining of an education of the mind and soul as well as of the body.

There arc numerous systems of idealism which often assume the role of religion. They attempt to lay a foundation for good conduct or good citizenship by a scientific process of education. One of the methods which is now taking the attention of many educators is the introduction of Religious Education” into the curriculum of the schools both public and private. Their procedure is a candid admission that education and religion cannot be divorced and the results be satisfactory, and that education as the prerogative of the church” is a sound educational policy. The attempt to bring religion into the school system should be given the careful attention of every earnest Christian. The question arises, What kind of religion will be brought in? If the system is used whereby the children from homes of different faiths can be taught by men or women of their own denomination, advantage should be taken of this opportunity. Some consecrated teacher may find a place of service of immense value in this work. The plan of Religious Education” in the curriculum is fraught with grave danger. There will be the inevitable conflict between an emaciated, sentimental, bloodless type of religious instruction and the foundations” of the Christian faith. Every sound educational principle should be summoned to the support of religion. But if the religion which is meant is in conflict with God’s Word then the foundations” of true character are being destroyed by the process and the structure is being erected without a sure foundation. The wrecks of such engineering practice are filling our penal institutions, corrupting the policies of corporations and governments, and spreading everywhere lack of confidence and suspicion. A sadder thought is that this method reaches into the homes of the righteous” (the designation of the righteous as distinct from the unrighteous is a scripture term and therefore not a term denoting an arrogant spiritual pride) and often destroys the foundation which years of patient parental care have laid. When this foundation is destroyed years pass, the rubbish of wasted efforts accumulate and the task of relaying the foundation is most difficult if not impossible. What can the righteous do?” No better plan can be devised than to utilize those means that arc available in Christian schools to strengthen the foundations” of Christian faith that you as parents have begun. No investment made will bring greater returns of joy and satisfaction to you or greater blessings to your child. I'auc Twcnlu-eiuhl MERLIN G. SMITH. EflIC ’(«(; • Tivcnlii-ninc JZhe ? ?

The beginning of our history dates hack as far as the fall of ’28 when we first organized as the Freshman Class. There were thirty-three of us. hut as the first few weeks of school went by we found our number thinned. There still remained, however, a goodly number to carry the work on. One can’t say that Freshmen are ignorant altogether. The first move we made was to elect a class adviser. After considering several, we chose Miss Matthewson. We have never regretted our choice, and I am sure if we had it to do over again it wouldn't have been- any different. She has been a constant help to us all through our high school life. In September, ’29, most of the old class was back. Some faces were missing but there were new ones to fill in the ranks. It was rather a strange experience for us to see the new class that took our place. We felt much older but still we had sympathy, for had we not been in the same boat the preceding year? Our Junior year was crowded! We assumed our duty as upper classmen, doing the best we could. The boys carried off the basketball trophy although they did submit the soccer championship to the Seniors. ’Twns that year that the Seniors found out that they couldn’t even get up early to fool the Juniors because we were up before, and saw that they safely got away” for their skip day. Tills year we have stepped on the last rung of the high school ladder and we must now look for another—perhaps longer—one to climb. It has been one of the happiest years in our memories. We have had hikes and functions, but the day that stands out clearest Is a certain, warm, sunny Thursday when we decided to skip. Our fun wasn’t spoiled in the least by the Juniors catching the last carload—for had not three whole cars stolen away ami not even a Junior out to tell them good-bye? After spending a day ami a half at Pleasant Lake, which is true to its name, we came home tired, but triumphant. At the end of the year when we look bark, we are certain tliat our benefits derived from attending Spring Arbor Seminary will be lasting, and that it has made a real impression on us. Our lives have been enriched by the pleasant contacts we have had here tills year. We also believe tliat the school won’t forget what a spirited, peppy bunch we were, and it Is our hope that most of us will return next year to continue our history.

Pape Thirty-six JUNIOR CLASS REPORT One day in September soon after school began, the Juniors met to elect the class officers. Floyd Bartlcttc was elected president; Lillian Kingsley, vice-president; George Wells, secretary; and Herbert Hazlcdine, treasurer. Later on in the fall we gave our sister class, the Freshmen, a hike which we feel was enjoyed by both classes. We left Spring Arbor about 3:30 and hiked about a mile to our destination. The weather was excellent for our outing. We played games until the call came for dinner, and after sitting around the campfire for a while, we started home. On a bright autumn day, the Juniors walked to Spring Arbor Lake to take snaps for the Echo. Some snaps were taken which called for some climbing trees and tumbling. What fun we had! We arrived in Spring Arbor just in time for dinner. We met again a little before the close of the First Semester for the purpose of electing officers for the Second Semester. We chose Theodore J. Wemette for our president, Ardath Case for vice-president, George Wells was re-elected secretary, and Helen McDonald was elected treasurer. Shortly after the beginning of the Second Semester, we decided that we wanted a sleigh-ride; but the snow failed us, and we were compelled to use a truck. Mr. and Mrs. Van Dorn supplied the truck and also gave us their home for a place of entertainment. We went to Albion and back and then drove to the Van Dorns. Upon our arrival, we gave a lusty cheer for the Van Dorns, to whom we arc indebted for many of our good times during our three years of High School in Spring Arbor. Then we played some exciting games until it was time to cat. Our refreshments were very appetizing, and I am sure that no one went home hungry. A glance at our watches showed us that we must be starting on our trip homeward. The winter air was very cold, indeed, and caused us to pull our collars up around our faces. Amid much cheering and eating of peanuts we arrived in Spring Arbor just as the 10:30 bell rang. On February 8, we were told that it was the birthday of our faculty adviser, Mrs. Brown. So we thought we would surprise her with a little party. She met us at the door with an exclamation of amazement. We had a very jolly time with our ever-loyal adviser, and it was a party worth remembering. We, the Juniors, are now looking forward to the time when we shall entertain our higher classmen, the Seniors. We hope that our Reception will prove to be a success and that it will be enjoyed by all. We are also looking forward to the day when we as the Senior Class of ’33 shall receive our diplomas, although our hearts will be saddened at the thought of bidding farewell to our friends, with whom we spent many happy hours of our high school years in Spring Arbor.

SOPHOMORE CLASS REPORT Wc arc aware that the meaning cf the word sophomore,” as derived from the Greek, is wise-foolish. The first part is what wc try to be in school—wise and studious. The second, however, is all wrong from our point of view. But wc arc fun loving and always ready for a good time. As wc were just green frcshics” last year, and, as Gray has said: Alas! regardless of their doom, The little victims play, No sense have they of ills to come, No care beyond to-day, you might not have thought us able to make good choices. In spite of this, wc made no mistake when wc selected Professor and Mrs. LaDuc as honorary members, and as Sophomores wc have appreciated their friendship and help. For class presidents this year wc chose Vera Justice and Ralph Lowell. School life is often brightened by various class and inter-class events. Last fall at the invitation of the Seniors, our sister class, wc spent an enjoyable evening in the woods where we forgot our troubles and worries of the classroom. Plenty of fun was had in the afternoon but play was readily suspended when supper was announced. When the evening repast was finished, games were played around the camp-fire, and wc all returned to report a good time. On March 22nd, with a full moon and a cloudless sky to aid us, wc outfitted a sleigh—of course, not forgetting the horses—and set out into the country a jolly crowd. The hospitality of the Mudgc home, with doughnuts and steaming coffee, made the evening complete. When wc were Freshmen wc thought wc knew everything. Now that we arc Sophomores, we begin to think that we don’t know so much. If this store of knowledge keeps on decreasing, wc may come to realize, when Seniors, that we don’t know anything. However, we hope it won’t be that bad. With the printing of this report, the class of ’34 pauses at the half-way place in high school life. May our number increase as the years advance, and may our loyalty to the school wc love never grow less. RALPH LOWELL. Fuye Thirty-nine High School Sophomores SUNSHINE AND BAIN CHIE?

FRESHMEN CLASS REPORT Our Class motto, On Unto Perfection.” We know the word perfection means being perfect, and that, I think, is the desire of each heart in the Freshman Class of 1932. This desire not only pertains to our knowledge of learning, resulting in high marks and finally our caps and gowns in 1935, but to being perfect in the sight of Him who has made these privclcgcs possible and attuned our minds to their understanding. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy,” they say, so to that end we have wonderfully enjoyed the many games and good times in the gym, together with the different parties which we have had. Professor Glover, our Honorary member, has always been ready and willing to assist in every manner possible. We arc just at the beginning of our high school days, and know that there will be many cross-roads along the way, many steep places to climb. We know too that our foundation must be made these days, and realize it is up to us, each one individually, to sec that that foundation is of the very best upon which to build, not only our house of knowledge, but our lives as well. We arc glad to know of One who has trodden the road before us, and if we arc willing to follow Him, He will lead us straight by the cross-roads and up the steep places, until we not only attain that degree of perfection as Seniors, but that Higher Perfection, made perfect in Him.” LORRAINE DOWLEY. Faye Forty-one ASSOCIATED SCHOOLS l «sn‘ I'orlu-throe I Hhi G'c p THE BIBLE DEPARTMENT The renowned Professor William Lyon Phelps of Yale has said that a knowledge of the Bible is preferable to a college education if a college education docs not include a knowledge of the Bible. That is a most significant statement, coming, as it does, from a man who sits in one of the finest and largest universities of America today, a man who is a recognized authority in the field of letters. Just why docs Professor Phelps make such a sweeping statement? Simply because the Bible contains the concentrated essence of the experience of the human race; because the wisdom of the ages lies within its pages; because its literature and history have permeated every phase of western civilization and culture; because one simply cannot be at home in the present world and be ignorant of this great book; because the average man can learn more about life by reading it than he can by his own observations and experience. These arc the reasons why his statement is so true. It is for the impartation of this important knowledge that the Bible department of Spring Arbor Seminary and Junior College has been organized. The work in this important department is under the direction of Professor LcRoy M. Lowell, who is assisted by Mrs. Carolyn V. Brown. The courses in both the Old and New Testaments, in Church History, in homiletics and theology are not taught in the old dry-as-dust, academic method; rather, they arc made intensely alive and practical and interesting to those who really want to know something about the Bible. The two years of Greek that arc offered in the department on the college level are of great value to those who desire to go to the Greek, in which the greater part of the New Testament was originally written. Two or three years spent in intensive work in the Bible department will pay large dividends to all earnest Christian workers. HOWARD E. UPDYKE, Dean. MUSIC DEPARTMENT This year two people were graduated with Teachers’ Certificates. Mr. William R. Cusick was graduated from the vocal department and Mr. Robert A. Lawrason from the piano department. Work was offered in the following theoretical courses: Solfeggio, Harmony I and II, History, Normal I and II, Harmonic Analysis, and Public School Methods. Besides the private lessons in piano for all grades, class piano instruction for children was given. Our vocal department for this year was under the direction of Miss Beulah M. Boice. She also worked in the piano department. Prof. Lyle Smith conducted classes in the orchestral instruments and had charge of the orchestra. Robert A. Lawrason was a student assistant in the Piano Department. During Commencement week several programs are planned. The A Cappclla Chorus under the direction of Prof. L. M. Lowe!! gives one of these programs. MARY WATSON-LaDUE. SCHOOL OF MUSIC JOINT GRADUATION RECITAL MAY 27, 1932 HOIlKItT A. I.AWRASOX Piano Lansing. MiclilRim WILLIAM It.

Under the careful training and able instruction of Professor LeRoy M. Lowell, the chorus has obtained in a marked degree an accuracy and precision in harmony, tone quality, and interpretation—carefully portraying every shade and quality of thought. The chorus has turned its attention primarily to the fine old Christian hymns, for they include the body of the world’s best sacred music. What a wealth of riches! What inspiration to the soul! These grand old hymns of the church are majestic in rhythm, beautiful in expression, and dynamic in their message of heart experience, elevating the soul to heights of spiritual achievement. Thus, great concepts are woven into the minds and hearts of these young people as a permanent character-building influence. Many times the Lord has sealed the message with His special blessing. The chorus does not give a program in a cold recitative manner, but sings out to God the loftiest emotions and melodies of the heart. In making its annual tour, the A Cappella has been met with interest and enthusiasm. This year fifteen services have been planned at the following places: Montpelier, Battle Creek, Marshall, Corunna, Flint, Snover, Memphis, Detroit, Royal Oak, Jackson, Manchester, Adrian, and at Spring Arbor during Commencement. The selections this year have been taken from a broad field of worthy music, and express a variety of moods and feelings. Along with a simplicity and beauty of rendition, the programs are marked with a spiritual emphasis. CAROLYN V. BROWN. Page Forty-six COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT To meet the demand of the exacting commercial world today, a student needs thorough business training to broaden his background and give assurance in the pursuit of his vocation. Prominent executives are giving credit to shorthand for their start toward success. Some maintain that the person who wants to dictate must first learn to take dictation—thus making a commercial course a stepping stone to a higher position. Often a student approaches such skilled subjects as shorthand and typing with enthusiasm because they afford him the opportunity of perfecting himself for the sheer joy of achievement as well as the inducement of immediate employment. The acquiring of a business-like attitude aids in the accomplishment of any task by eliminating unnecessary mechanical motion and developing initiative, concentration, and self-discipline. He who every morning plans the transactions of the day, and follows out that plan, carries a thread that will guide him through the labyrinth of the most busy life. The orderly arrangement of this time is like a ray of light which darts itself through all his occupations. But where no plan is laid, where the use of time is surrendered merely to the chance of incidents, all things lie huddled together in one chaos, which admits of neither distribution nor review.—Victor Hugo. Marjory D. Stone. I'ortu-sevcn HOME ECONOMICS Home Economics is a subject th.it centers around the problems of the home and other institutions whose problems arc of similar nature. It includes a study of food, shelter, and clothing viewed from the standpoint of hygiene, economics, and art and a study of the relations of members of the family to each other and to society. We believe this study to be an indispensable part of the general education of every girl because it affects the future life of our country. It has been said, Remember that the success of the nation of tomorrow depends upon the characters built in the homes of today.” While the problem of creating better homes is an ethical and spiritual one, yet the spiritual atmosphere cannot be quite right unless the material conditions of the home are properly adjusted. If this is true, it is important that women know how to maintain their homes in an intelligent manner and to promote the health of the family. Home Economics is one of the recent subjects in the high school curriculum. It was taught very little before 1910, but since that time it has increased rapidly in popularity. The factors influencing the introduction of home economics were many. Home experience was no longer supplying adequate training for homemaking. As labor-saving devices came into wider use, the child’s contribution to household tasks was less necessary. The making of many household materials was transferred gradually from home to factory, and there became less and less opportunity for the child to have actual contact with the production end of homemaking. In many cases the mothers found it necessary to work outside their homes with the result that they were not able to give their daughters such training as they themselves had received from their mothers. The fact that home economics has been so widely accepted indicates that it is filling a real need in American education. In meeting this need, the introduction of a Home Economics Department into the curriculum of Spring Arbor Seminary and Junior College shows a marked advancement toward greater efficiency in preparing our young people for future activity. Orpha M. Knowles. Page PorIn-eight OftGANiZAT 10(V5 ACT II ITIZS THE STUDENT-FACULTY COOPERATIVE GOVERNMENT Jf ever the world needed young people who realize their responsibility to others, it is now. It is obvious that the irresponsibility of the young people of our country is not altogether due to their faults; but it is more likely due to the fact that they have not had the opportunity to develop the sense of duty which they should have developed. When they are living at home with their parents, they arc carefree to a great extent. It is right for them to be partially free from responsibility while they are in their childhood; but when they arc of high school or college age, it is time for them to feel their tesponsibility. It seems to be a tragedy that so many young people, after having gone through high school and college, do not realize that their existence involves duty as well as pleasure. The student-faculty cooperative government of Spring Arbor Seminary and Junior College, which was organized in 1927, has proved to be a means by which the students have been made to feel that they were responsible to others, thereby causing them to develop a sense of duty. It would be preposterous for the students to have entire control of the government; but, with the faculty taking the part of the upper house and also having control of the supreme court, the students taking the part of the lower house and having control of the inferior court, the student-faculty cooperative government affords a valuable training for the students in politics that they could not get otherwise. It is almost impossible to disassociate politics and responsibility. The continuance of the student government in Spring Arbor Seminary and Junior College is not necessary to the successful running of the school. Here is where the need comes in: The students need just the type of training which the student-faculty cooperative government alone can give. Henry Ryckman. Mayor. I'uue Flflu W. C. Muffitt, Pastor. THE VOICE FROM THE FIELD The past year has been different from any year I have experienced. I remember the days of Cleveland. They were hard days, but not to be compared with these. I have heard the one word Depression on every side. The depression had not hit us more than two or three weeks until we seemed to have forgotten the wonderful, prosperous past twenty years. One good old lady said a few days ago that she didn’t see why we had to have such hard times during the depression. I have been reminded myself, and have tried to remind others, that we have a lot to be thankful for. God has been good to us. I have traveled over the territory for the past eight years, but this year it has been harder to raise money than ever before. However, we are thankful for the way the people have responded, and especially for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the services held. We are sure that if the people will continue to sacrifice, this good work can continue. If each member in the territory would send in only fifteen cents, it would bring to the school over one thousand dollars cash. No doubt each pastor could raise this amount several times during the year if a little system was worked out. The pastor gets his offering each week, and a missionary offering is taken at least once a month. Even though these offerings may be small, they have a system, and it works. The Sunday School offering is taken each Sunday. Why not have a system for taking an offering at least once a month for our missionary school. Spring Arbor Seminary, which would bring in a certain amount of cash each month, that our work might be carried on more efficiently, and our teachers’ salaries paid regularly. The laborer is worthy of his hire. THE CHURCH We arc pleased to report favorably of the Church and its workings at Spring Arbor. We have a very good church building for worship and Sunday School purposes. We are blest with the best of teachers for our Sunday School work and excellent class leaders for the various classes, all working together harmoniously, and contending for the faith once delivered unto the Saints” with a godly faculty. Our membership—we aim to have a burden for the souls of the students that arc committed to our care and do all we can for their salvation, encouraging them on to perfection in the Christian life. The student attendance this year has been below normal owing to the financial depression. Nevertheless we rise above the pressure, blest with the presence of God and made to feel we are kings and priests unto God and that Jesus Christ his son became poor that we through his poverty might be made rich. We feel like saying to the young people throughout our connection, Come then with us and we will do thee good.” —J. A.

This year has in every way tried to accomplish what the club proposed its duty and privilege when it was organized. After listening to the varied programs which the literary club has prepared for our enjoyment we have felt that labor and learning were hidden in a role of delightful entertainments. Our club, as a student activity, would uphold as its standards the spirit of knowledge, blended with an atmosphere of joy and happiness, based on the desire of literary expansion and larger knowledge in the field of poetry, music, and the dramatic arts; these could not fail to interest every student and incorporate his favor and co-operation in the development of the work.

There is an open field for the youth who has a scientific turn of mind; in fact, whatever may be his or her inclination, there is opportunity on every side for development. During medieval days, a youth was expected to follow the vocation of his father. There was no freedom of choice as there is now. Restrictions were such that only a few could engage in any chosen field. Now, however, all has been changed. The way is open to any field of activity. The question is, Arc there any who will turn away from secular pursuits and follow the voice of God? We arc happy to answer that there arc yet some who love their Lord enough to obey and follow wherever He may lead. With joy and anticipation we are looking forward to a place in the Ministry, missionary fields, or some other line of Christian work. We count all things as worthless that we may win Christ. It is our prayer that God will make each one of our number a blessing to the world. —Forrest Gallup. ECHO STAFF PROF. W. M. TOWNS Faciilill Adviser CHARLES I .

FORENSIC CONTESTS IIARRIETTE WARNER Col I eye Declamatory Contest LORRAINE DOWLRY NELLIE GILL High School Declamatory Contest College Declamatory Contest BURTON MARTIN Sub-District Oratorical Contest The contests held in the high school and college departments of the school are among the most interesting occasions of the school year. Not only are the contests interesting but they also are among the most valuable experiences a student has. Early in November the college declamatory contest was held. All college students were eligible to take part. Nellie Gill and Harriette Warner tied for first place. The two prizes were equally divided between the two contestants. Spring Arbor belongs to the Michigan High School Oratorical Association. The high school declamatory and oratorical contests were held in conformity to the rules of the association. February 26 the declamatory contest took place. High school Freshmen and Sophomores were allowed to take part. First honors were won by Lorraine Dowlcy, second place by Edgar Whiteman. The Oratorical contest was held on Saturday, May 14. Six contestants were entered. Violet Dodds won first place, and second honors were taken by Burton Martin. It was decided impossible to have a high school debate team this school year. We hope another year it will be possible to continue this activity which has become so popular and beneficial. Many activities are soon forgotten, but it is believed the student who partakes in forensic activities will always remember the practical help which they give him. Margaret J. Matthewson. Dage Fifty-six THE PHILALETHIAN DEBATE CLUB OFFICERS First Semester Second Semester Paul Briggs ................President ...........................Paul Briggs Pauline Juhlln..............Vice-President ...................Pauline Julilin Lynn hello Mustard .........Secretary .............Lynnhcllc Mustard The Philalethian Debate Club is a comparatively new organization on the campus, having just completed its second successful year. The club has been threefold in its purpose, namely: to provide practice in debate, parliamentary law, and public speaking. As its Greek name, Philalethian, implies love of truth or search of truth, so has the society tried to arrive at the truth by viewing the questions at hand from every possible angle. The monthly meetings have provided a period of entertainment as well as instruction, with the programs containing a wealth of variety. When going to a meeting, one did not know what to expect because the programs ranged from lectures on parliamentary law to round table conferences and national nominating conventions. One of the most unique programs of the year was conducted when the society at an informal public meeting resolved itself into a session of the General Conference of the Free Methodist Church and took up the regular business of the day. Every thing was proceeding in an orderly manner until, like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky, came a motion that instrumental music be permitted in the public worship of the church. The motion was discussed in true conference style and enthusiasm, and after an hour and a half the meeting was, with no small amount of difficulty, adjourned. The Philalethian Debate Club has proved to be one of the most active college organizations on the campus, and we feel safe in predicting a prosperous future for the society. Paul Briggs. Page Fifty-seven PHYSICAL EDUCATION The importance of physical education for the masses is gradually being recognized by leading school and state officials. There are evident educational benefits which come to those who participate in the various competitive sports. The desire of educators is to distribute these opportunities to the largest number possible. This can only be done through a carefully organized and enthusiastically promoted program of intramural athletics. Intcrscholastic contests have many benefits to the school and players, but too often, close rivalries cause superintendents and coaches to lose sight of the highest good of boys and girls, and the work becomes undesirable. The interference of enthusiastic and well-meaning townspeople often takes contests out of the control of school officers. Such difficulties can be successfully handled by the sponsors of an intramural program. William H. Bristow and Charles D. Vibberts, in the Journal of Health and Physical Education for November, 1931, stated, The physical education program should include: Provision for participation in a wide range of physical education activities which offer opportunities for (a) training in social relationships, (b) the development of mental capacities, (c) enrichment of emotional experiences and the learning of emotional control, (d) the development of neuromuscular skills, (e) the development of interests and skill in activities which may be used in leisure time.” Rollin' T. Banks. BASKETBALL The comparatively new gymnasium has been almost in danger of being shaken down due to the excited cheering that took place at the thrilling games played during the past basketball season. The boys' teams were quite evenly matched, the only outstanding team being the Seniors, who defeated the College Freshmen to win the championship. The thrills were not all afforded by the men’s teams, however. The ladies turned out five good teams, each one with its own particular merits, so that the majority of the girls’ games were interesting. Probably the most exciting contests, however, were those between the Senior and College Freshmen girls. It is to be noted that these two teams were so evenly matched that neither was able to defeat the other twice in succession. The College Freshmen girls held the vantage point, therefore, when they wrenched the first of the final tourney games from the Seniors, and finally became the champions. We arc all sure that the excellent refereeing went to make each game in every league a success, ond we feel that credit is due to our officials. Rosamond E. Gregory. ! me Flflii-nine TENNIS Tennis is one of the most enjoyed games on our campus. More students and faculty members participate in this sport than in any other carried on in Spring Arbor. The two courts that we have are constantly busy as long as there is day light or any hopes of playing a good game. The school tennis tournament was held last fall. The matches were close and were great to watch, ft just happened that yours truly” came out victor in the men's singles. Burton Rensberry and Herbert Hazcldine took the doubles, and Herbert with Lorraine Dowley came out on top in the mixed doubles. The courts are being redecorated this year with new back stops. The Senior Class of 32 are responsible for this. I am sure the tennis sports are grateful to all those who have made this a possibility. Calvin Kiffer. SOCCER Listen! A shrill sound is heard as Prof. Banks blows his whistle, and the Soccer season is started off with a bang. The games this season were ones of real Soccer science. More skill and good common sense were displayed than ever before. However, there was one class that seemed to have the percentage tournament without a defeat, a clear record that showed no points scored against them. The final tournament was somewhat different. The College Freshmen came up through to the finals with one determination in mind, and that was to crush the Seniors. The first game the Seniors won by a margin of 2 to 1. The second game was more exciting, and the College team won by a score of 3 to 2. Then came the big game. It started one afternoon at 3:16 and lasted until dark. The score at the end of the regular playing time was 0 to 0. An overtime quarter was played and ended in a tie of one all. Another overtime period was played and the score remained the same. The crowd was getting hysterical and the daylight was fast slipping out during the final third overtime quarter. A flourish of fast skirmishes and a dark night put the 2nd. point through for the Seniors, and the game was over, the Championship won. and the hardest fought soccer game went down in the History of 327 Merwin Hicks. SPRING ATHLETICS The spring sports, volley ball, baseball, and track, have been enjoyed by all. A volley ball tournament was held for the first time in Spring Arbor. The College Sophomores, displaying a fine brand of ball went through the percentage tournament without losing a set. The College Freshmen then won the elimination tournament and the right to play the College Sophomores for the Championship. But the Sophomores proved to be the better team, winning the championship in two sets. Baseball is just now getting under way. No team has as yet won the percentage tournament. At present it looks as if the Seniors and the two college teams will have to fight it out for the championship. Track, always popular in Spring Arbor, is being hailed with much enthusiasm. There have been two dual track meets held, the Freshmen winning from the Sophomores in the first one, and the Seniors Taking the College Freshmen in” in the second. We arc looking forward to the all-school track meet, which is to be held in a few days. Homer F. Cunningham, 1 '«( • Sixty-one ALUMNI EDITORIAL Again the school year at Spring Arbor is drawing to a close, and students arc leaving its campus who arc to be influential in parts of the world about them. It seems like a passing dream when one stops to think of all those who have come and gone. Yesterday we came here with a determination in our hearts to better our conditions by taking advantage of the many opportunities offered at Spring Arbor. Todav we are leaving that place which has fostered us through many of our difficulties. Now we as a severed group of conscientious Christian young men and women arc going out to be swallowed up by the hungry jaws of a giccdy world. One can not help wondering what will be the reaction of many to this new environment. Will they be able to influence those about them with the principles which have been instilled within their minds? Yes, the world has been waiting to clutch us with its slimy hand of agnosticism and wrap its cold fingers of doubt, disbelief, false doctrines and principles of morality about us, and to draw us slowly but surely into that path of countless multitudes. When the tests of life come flooding upon us, will we be able to stand on our rock foundation? I believe that we can, but it behooves each and every one of us to be on our guard. We can be a beacon light in the world of adversity for our Alma Mater. And now in passing we must not forget to pay a tribute to those who arc responsible for our principles of life. We have been indeed a very privileged student body. We have had the advantages of learning under the fine teachings of a faculty which many would be proud to claim who arc deprived of such a privilege. Each alumnus filling his or her place in life, whether it be humble or esteemed, will look back on the guardianship of Spring Arbor with a feeling of gratitude. This gratitude is not only for the education obtained from books but also for the high Christian standards which were a part of the education received. These standards and ideals, imparted by the godly influence of the faculty arc to remain in the hearts of Spring Arbor Alumni as a priceless heritage. What is our duty? Let us all respond to the standards of truth and establish them before the eyes of the world. Let us all be whole-hearted, loyal, and true to our'dear old Alma Mater. Harry F. Vernon.
