Representatives are selected from each class. The senior member is ex officio president of the Council and presides over various student meetings. The annual New Student Reception in September is sponsored by the Student Council in conjunction with the faculty. The election of cheer leaders, choice of editors for the two school publications, Class Week, and similar matters are managed under the auspices of the Council. The regulation of the annual Rush Day, when the two literary societies make their bid for the allegiance of the new students, has devolved upon the council. In co-operation with the Junior Rules Committee, the Council has sought to maintain a high standard of culture in the matters of campus behavior and proper etiquette in the dining hall. No small amount of credit is due Mr. Yunker and Mr. hiaines who have added to the enjoyment of Friday night dinners by securing the musical and literary talent which is so much appreciated on these oc- casions. SENIORS Officers Stokes, Chappell, Cline, Kegerreis, Taylor. They claim success o UR college career is nearly complete. Only The epilogue, the com- mencement exercise, remains. A four year scholastic career is not one to be treated lightly, for have not our members during this period matured, broadened, and en- riched their teen personalities of freshmen days? Can we say that there is one of us who, in meeting Taylor ' s requirements, has not succeed- ed in finding his individual personality, his right to claim success? We cannot measure success by setting up a goal in one particular field that Is to be attained by all before they may be deemed success- ful. Rather we must accept the view that the individual ' s success lies in the field he himself has chosen whether It be one of religious work, ath- letics, or scholastic attainment. Our class has produced leaders in each of these major phases of Taylor life. By such a standard, our four years upon Taylor ' s campus have been well spent. We may now look toward the future and the possibilities of successful lives. VIRGINIA BECKRINK Jarnestown Ne York Majors: French and English. Life Work: Teaching. Philalethean. Mnanka.

JUNIORS Officers Hamann, Bloss, Steedman, Lauten- schlager, York. camaraderie IF the most typical Taylor student were sought he would most likely be found in the Junior class. No other group on our campus is so gifted with talent. Practically every Junior holds an office in some student organization or contributes in some manner to outside activities. Above all, the class possesses that rare spirit of camaraderie for which they well merit the title Jolly Juniors. Social activities of the year consisted of parties at Esther Baker ' s and in Campbell Parlors — very formal. The climax, of course, was the Junior-Senior Banquet which was an unqualified success. A complete log cabin was erected in Recreation hiall and a delighted group of Juniors and guests were transported back to the days of Plymouth colony. In religious life the class has been consistent and progressive. The weekly prayer hour under the direction of Garfield Steedman was a source of help and inspiration to each one. Most of the class has been active in Gospel Team work, while several of the fellows have student pastorates. LI ? f1?

Never! This year has been an epochal year for the class of 1938, the Sophomores. The Class has made a name for itself in all lines of Taylor activities: social, academic, athletic, and spiritual. Real leaders have been found and devel oped among the Sophs and all of the colorful prospects painted for them in the freshman year have been fulfilled. The class of ' 38 was the hit of Class Week when they initiated their brilliant scarlet and white sweaters at the opening breakfast. The sweat- ers have stood the test of time as canes, keys, and green caps have been laid aside. A combination picnic, football game and song-fest at Snyder ' s pas- ture was the feature of the fall social activity. Winter and Leap Year were initiated by a backwards party held In Recreation hHall. With all solemnity clothes were worn backwards and program, games, and refreshments were given In reverse order. Spring saw other gay and delightful frolics. Longnecker Macy Miles Morris Mumma Myers Patton Porter Reppert Randall Richardson Royster Scea Sharp Smith, D. Smith, H.

Wesley Driver from Detroit was hon- ored by election to the class presi- dency, hie is a Thalo and is active in student activities. His artistic ability makes him a suitable candidate for his chosen career of architecture. Margaret Sluyter, a Philo, was chos- en vice-president. A witty chap from Tipton, Don Barnes, acted as treasurer. As secretary the class was well served by Mary Shaffer, who is practically a professional.

H M A N CLASS THE Freshman feel that they have contributed their share to school activities with a great deal of enthusiasm, one might even say gusto. Class Week was initiated by a vigorous demonstration against Sopho- more superiority. The green flag was triumphant and the class settled down to peaceful pursuits. Throughout the year the Freshmen enjoyed various social events. A Hallowe ' en party was held in the college woods, consisting of a wiener roast and songs around a campfire. The Valentine season brought a . Kiddie party in Recreation Hall — a festive occasion enjoyed by children from four to twenty. The basketball season came to an end with the Freshmen boys hold- ing second place in the intra-mural contest. In track the Freshmen were more fortunate, winning over their nearest rival, 62-22.

Kellar, Engstrom, Cox, Dr. Oborn, Driver, Page. Mock Republicans and Sponsor ' i ' DURING the sessions of the hiistory Club, socially minded students discuss the re- lation of political and economic factors to social trends. Contemporary institu- tions are traced from conception and early growth to their present position in the social order. These institutions are exalted or decried not because of presence or absence in the status quo, but because of their fundamental purpose and results. Thus, the experience of the past is applied to contemporary problems through criti- cism of maladjustment and support of a new social order embodying the ideals of liberty, justice and equality. Although internal conditions are discussed In the light of these objectives, empha- sis is given to international affairs. The problems of international tension, economic inequality, and war, are discussed with the hope of contributing toward the ideals of world peace and cooperation. The Taylor group is a branch of the International Relations Club and receives much support from this organization. Two members of the Taylor hHistory Club were delegates to the Mid-West International Relations Club Conference held at Indiana University in April. American neutrality, sanctions, the Far East, underprivileged nations, and the Italian-Ethiopian conflict were discussed at the conference. These topics were also considered at regular meetings of the hHistory Club through talks, reports, and open-forum discussions. In addition to these bi-monthly meetings, the History Club presented a chapel program featuring a mock Republican convention. FRENCH CLUB Inquiring Reporter: What group is that in Camp- bell parlors? French Student: Why, that is Le Cercle Francais. Reporter: What do you mean? Student: It is a club organized for all French stu- dents to develop a deeper appreciation of the French language and of French culture. Reporter: Who directs the club? Student: Our president for this year has been Mile. Shaw. She has been assisted by Mile. hHenton, chairman of the program committee. Of course, our French professor. Mile. Gibson lends her loyal interest and support. Reporter: What do you do at your meetings? Student: We have varied programs. We celebrat- ed Victor Hugo ' s birthday at our February meeting. Sometimes a French class puts on a play. Sometimes we sing French songs and play French games. Even French jokes (bons mots) are told. Reporter: Do you find it worth while? Student: Yes, I do. Au revoir, I ' ll be late for this meeting. Come to one of our meetings some time. Even if you haven ' t had very much French, you will have a profitable and enjoy- able time.

From the wings it looks as if this were going to be one of the best presentations of the year. There is a tense expectancy as the mummers breathlessly wait for the feel of the audience. Will they be sitting on their hands? The first teaser is thrown out, a slight murmur sweeps over the audience. Then a ripple of laughter and at another bit of quick repartee from behind the mazdas and breathing is easier back stage. New life and abandon is instilled into those who have yet to answer their cue. The play will be a success. Twice has this backstage drama been enacted on Taylor ' s campus this year.

The poignant, heart-searching play, Smilin ' Through, by Allan Langdon Martin, was of- fered by a well selected cast in a charmingly beautiful setting. This cast deserves many compli- ments on its interpretation as does the member: of the crew in painting so delightful a picture of an old English garden. During the second se.mester the Bard of Avon was called upon to spin his tale of the despicable, usurious Jew, the throe caskets, and the charming lady whose wit foiled the Jew in his purpose and saved the flesh of her husband ' s dearest friends. The Mer- chant of Venice can easily be said to have been an outstanding performance in its beauty of setting, costuming, and lighting and its appeal to a well-filled house. Ring down the curtain. Well deserved laurels have been won. Such a pleasing addition to college activities has been well received. The applause has died away. The lines have been for- gotten. The sets have been struck. But the memory is still fresh and fragrant, with hopes of future accomplishments to match the success of this year. the despicable, usurious Jew . . .

The work in the debate club has proved valuable in developing clear, reflec- tive thinking and rapid expression of thought. The initial social event of the year was a tea held at the Alspaugh home in honor of the new women students. A Valentine party was held at the home of Dr. Ayres, the club sponsor. A banquet at the Colonnades in Alexandria culminated the social activities of the organization. The literary and artistic qualities of the club were set forth in the colonial theme of the evening.

O Q M N A N K A DEBATE T HAT musical Indian name, Soangetaha, is loved and revered by every strong-hearted maiden. As the Indian maids of old held their Pow-wows in the forests so the strong- hearted maidens of this year followed the grassy trail to their annual Pow-wow one sunny afternoon in October. At various meetings during the year the pale faced maid- ens developed their efficiency in debating by extemporane- ous talks and prepared speeches. Parliamentary drill was stressed to develop strong courageous speakers. Professor Dennis gave a talk on the Essentials of Debate, a subject selected in harmony with the club ' s interest in forensic activ- ities. A complete history of these pale faced, strong-hearted maidens is found in the Totem Book, a treasure of the club. Baker, Bell, Benedict, Cagley, Catlin, English, Herrmann, R. Royster, McLaury, V.

Varsity Debate BOTH the affirmative and negative debaters enjoyed a full schedule this year. Although the list of combats includes only four victories, the debates were profitable and stimulating. The subject for all en- counters was Resolved: that Congress be given authority to over-ride by a two-thirds majority all decisions of the Supreme Court declaring acts of Congress unconstitutional. A lively interest was shown by all participants in tracing the history of the question and drawing satisfactory conclusions. Some of the schools which met Taylor teams this year are: Notre Dame, Purdue, Man- chester, Earlham, Asbury, and DePauw. The high point of the debating season occurred in February when both teams attended the annual tourn- ament at Manchester College and participated in five debates. Mem- bers of the negative team are Joseph Ward, Robert hHunt, and George Manley; the affirmative team, Carl Reppert, Alvin Strong, and Owen Aldridge. HOLINESS Betzold, President P. Haines, Chorister L. Porter, Pianist Shaffer, Librarian he 5f THE Lord hath done great things for us; whereoT we are glad. Characteristic of hHoliness League is the element of praise embodied in this verse from the 126th Psalm. At the end of a week of studies the joy of meeting together for an hour of fellowship and inspiration draws a large number of Taylor ' s young people to hHoliness League on Friday evenings. The opportunity of sharing victories of the week through testimony and the expres- sion of praise through songs has made this service the most popular and helpful of student religious groups. During the first semester under the leadership of John Betzold, speakers were chosen mainly from the students, thus giving many a chance to serve. New choruses learned in the course of these services have not only add- LEAGUE tf m 1 Steedman, President Stephenson, Chorister L. Cline, Pianist Dahlstrand, Librarian ed to the effectiveness of the League, but have carried over to the Youth Conference to be a blessing there through the ministry of song. By the invitation of Garfield Steedman, president for the second semester, alumni serving in communities near Taylor returned to give the message of their experiences in the work of the Lord. The informal atmosphere of hloliness League is well suited to the work it accomplishes in the student life of Taylor. That work is the strengthening and deepening of the Christian life of each of its members through shar- ing the experiences of daily advancement. The services are truly the students ' own, in purpose, in leadership, and in expression. Prof. King, Heineman, Taylor, Tennant, Crandall, Su+ch, Anderson, Sharp, Miss Foust, V. Chappeil, Herrmann. Volunteer Band ' nrHE Spirit of Christ is the spirit of Missions, and the near- I sr we get to h im the more intensely missionary we must become — hHenry Martyn. Missionary-minded students have discovered this to be the true secret of missionary activity. In the bi-weekly meetings of Taylor ' s Volunteer Band the students have studied missionary activities, written letters and heard interesting reports. In December, 1935, the band sent delegates to the Vol- unteer Quadrennial Convention held in Indianapolis. Re- ports were brought back of the messages of Toyohiko Ka- gawa, Mrs. Indu Pak, the Rev. John R. Mott and others. The Indiana State Convention at Franklin College in March was another item of interest in the year ' s program. The Rev. C. C. hHerrmann of India and Dr. Frank Cottingham were the main speakers. Miss Foust, our Dean of Women, was elected as the faculty advisor for the State Volunteer Or- ganization. The Volunteer Band strives to be a nucleus of the Taylor University Missionary Society and to carry forward the Ideals of Bishop William Taylor. Lautenschlager, Hershey, L. York, Strong, J.

This annual conference sought to assemble Indiana youth at a central location for the purpose of discussing va- rious solutions for common personal problems, individual re- ligious experiences, and social situations. It tried to stimu- late greater zeal and efficiency in vital religious activities by emphasizing a definite consecration to the tasks of the church school, the Epworth League or Youth organizations, the Min- istry, the Missionary enterprise and World Evangelism. The spiritual atmosphere was create d and maintained dur- ing the conference by fervent prayer groups, inspirational song services, vital testimonies in the fellowship hours. Inter- esting round table discussions, evangelistic and heart stirring sermons with special appeal for a definite acceptance of Jesus Christ as a personal Saviour and the hloly Spirit as a personal Comforter. This conference entertained almost a thousand youth who entered wholeheartedly into every feature of the pro- gram. The immediate response was evidenced by the pub- lic establishment of many spiritual covenants. These eternal vows for complete consecration will be very fruitful in the progress of God ' s Kingdom. i Anderson, Ba: ter, Bloss, Briggs, Bu+terworth, Butz, L.

Prayer Band THE Prayer Band is an Informal organization, open to all who care to attend. The purpose of this group in gather- ing each Tuesday evening Is to spend an hour in communion with God. Those attending feel that the secret of attaining this purpose lies in casting aside human direction and placing the responsibility for guidance with God. The Prayer Band fills a vital need In the heart of each student who attends, contributing in a quiet way to the spir- itual life of the University. Men ' s Ministerial Association THIS association is functioning for the purpose of developing unique ministerialship. These young men who plan to serve in modern pas- torates and missionary enterprises are searching for the technique of successful religious leaders. The programs are adapted to stimulate correct ministerial etiquette, skillful handling of pastoral problems, efficient homiletical arrangement of sermons, dynamic presentation of spiritual messages, and a delicate intuition of the psychology of an audience. A challenging critique is given each feature in order to encourage more effectual pulpit decorum and to eliminate personal mannerisms. The chairman of the Greek and Bible departments, Dr. James Char- bonnier, is the faculty sponsor. hHis motive is to inspire the young min- isters to promote a vital church program through a cultural and spiritual leadership.

Many of the discussion group leaders for the Youth Conference were chosen from this group of captains. Some of the communities to which the groups ministered were: Redkey, Albany, Marion, Berne, New Burlington, Charlottesville, Blountsville, and Upland. Groups also went to Detroit, Buffalo, and Corry, Pennsylvania. Reports from the various pastors have con- stantly come back expressing their gratitude for what Taylor students have been able to accom- plish in their midst. Perhaps an even greater re- ward has come to the students themselves, as the service which they rendered warmed their own hearts. GOSPEL TEAMS GOSPEL team work throughout the school year of 1935-36 was more completely or- ganized than ever before. Groups were arranged by captains who were responsible for the order of the services and general procedure. Professor Fenstermacher, Dean Foust, and Dr. Oborn spon- sored the group and were instrumental in offer- ing unusual opportunities for service in the neigh- boring communities. During the course of the winter months partic- ularly, assistance was rendered by various Taylor groups in many special services and revival pe- riods. The gospel team captains were responsi- ble for speakers, musical selections, testimonies and general aid to the pastors. As many stu- dents participated in these activities as were ' Their hearts v ere warmed. C)C.c I f; I THE University Orchestra has furnished during the past year valuable experience for those instrumentalists who desired ensemble training. The membership is composed not only of those in the student body but others of the community who are interested in orchestral playing. During the year the orchestra appeared In chapel and at the com- mencement season. A selected group of orchestra players was organ- ized into a small ensemble which furnished music on various occasions where the large orchestra was unwieldy. A violin quartet chosen from the violin section proved to be a valuable part of the organization. This quartet provided dinner music at a number of banquets both on the campus and elsewhere. m, j« « .,  S«,;« S  : ««§«l J |M M«S iaS 8«%(W - ll ' li; II- ■ li „;t|l C I lORU.S T HE University Choral Society has filled an Integral place in the extra- curricular activities of the school. Many have been unable to take regular work In the Music School and this organization has permitted them an expression of love for fine art which otherwise might have been impossible. Likewise the educa- tional and uplifting Influences are not to be discounted, for participation in such endeavor plays an important part in developing personality. The high points of the season were the presentation of h andel ' s Messiah at Christmas and J. H. Maunder ' s cantata, Olivet To Cal- vary, during the Easter season. In addition to these programs the work done in the Interest of the school In the radio broadcast and the special program presented to the North Indiana Conference are noteworthy evi- dences of the value of such an organization to the Institution as well as to the student body. The last appearance at the Commencement program closes the most successful year the chorus has had for some time both as to the quality of the work done and the quantity of production. Much credit Is due the director, Professor Krelner, for his untiring efforts and the manner in which he elicited the co-operation of the stu- dent body in making this a most beneficial year. MALE QUARTET To this group has been entrusted the task of uphold- ing Taylor ' s quartet traditions. Their first year of service has been a busy one, with engagements nearly every week-end in addition to assisting In a week of ser- vices at Akron, Indiana, during the holidays. Other engagements of note included the Methodist Conference at Indianapolis in December; a radio broad- cast from station WIRE, Indianapolis; and the Youth Conference at Detroit, Michigan, May 15-17. Carl Reppert hHarold Miller Arland Briggs Joe Kimbel A Allil l ics . OUR NEW COACH PROFESSOR WILLIAM H. CRAWFORD has won a place In the hearts of the Taylor youth. Coach Crawford is a graduate of Southwestern College and received the Master of Arts degree from the University of Kansas. He has taken considerable work beyond this and has taken spe- cial work in the Coaching School of the University of California: football under Bill Ingrham, basketball under Nibs Price, and track under Walt Cristie. Those who have worked under the coaching of Bill Crawford have learned more than the technicalities of major sports. A quaint under- standing smile and the pointed finger accompanied by unresented instruc- tions have accomplished much to Instill Into the fellows a spirit of co-opera- tion and loyalty to the sportsman ' s code of ethics. It Is for this reason we have come to honor and respect Coach Crawford as a man capable of directing the athletic life of Taylor ' s students. .- COACH CRAWFORD VARSITY BASKETBALL THE 1935-36 basketball season for the Taylor Troians resulted In two games won out of sixteen. The score book read defeat but not disaster! Although Taylor had much larger schools on her schedule than in previous years the majority of the games were lost by only a small margin. If a coach has ever had a reason for bewailing his bad luck, Coach Crawford certainly has this past basketball season. The various combinations which Crawford had worked out were continually broken up due to injuries and with- drawals. Out of the first ten men picked during the opening weeks of the season seven left the squad due to uncontrollable circumstances. The men who played first string at one time or another and were forced to leave included h unter, Colbert, Stuart, Long- necker, Duckwall, Yeater, and Wingate. The Trojans initiated their basketball season by defeating the hluntington For- esters, 32-22. The other outstanding victory of the season was over Kokomo with a score of 56-32. The outstanding games of the season were with Southwestern College, Manchester, and Anderson. The intersectional game with Southwestern University of Kansas was the biggest game of the season. Although they were defeated, the Trojans played the best game of the season. Coach Crawford used five men the entire game against Southwestern ' s twelve. The last and most thrillina game of the year, Taylor was defeated in an overtime game with Anderson College. The Trojans were led by Cap- tain Miller who plaved his last game for T. U., scoring fifteen points and playing an ex- ceptionally fine defensive game.

BASEBALL T HE 1936 Trojan baseball nine was one of the finest semblance of smooth working players Taylor has had on her diamond. John Brogneanx, coach of Upland high school, has been in charge of the men and was more than pleased with the fine co-operation and en- thusiasm the boys have shown this season. Sufficient numbers have turned out this year to make up two teams which proved a great value in selecting a smooth working sguad. In spite of the bad weather at the opening of the season practice games were not hindered. Due to the short spring season only three games were scheduled, two with Concordia and one with Earlham. TRACK TAYLOR track and field men performed very effectively this spring in the meets in which they participated. Coach Craw- ford ' s men produced results, evidence of hard, diligent individual training. In spite of the short season the track squad worked faithfully throughout the spring months and considerable individual scoring was done against Oakland City, Central Normal, and Anderson. In view of the number of veterans and promising Freshmen track- men who have shown outstanding ability on the cinder track Coach Crawford anticipates another successful year in this phase of ath- letics. Coach Crawford, Carmen, Dorman, Van Loon, Yunker Warfield, Thompson, Steele, Jerome, Hewitt. TENNIS THIS year at Taylor increasing interest in tennis has been shown judging from the number of candidates participating in the sport. Arthur hloward, star tennis player, who has coached the tennis team since his graduation In 1934, has worked faithfully with the squad and is confident that with the present set-up of veteran players a good foundation has been laid for a greater season next year. The Taylor netmen included on their schedule four contests in competition with Concordia, Earlham, hHuntington and Anderson. For the first time in the history of tennis at Taylor the tennis squad entered the state intercollegiate tennis tournament held at Earlham college in Richmond, May 2 1 , 22, and 23. f 1 Yingling, Coach Howard, Alspaugh, Pafton, Gerber, R.

T CLUB THE T Club is an organization of all athletes In Taylor who have earned a letter symbolizing some athletic achievement. The T ' s are awarded on the basis of one year of worthy competition in base- ball and basketball, which are considered major sports, and for two ' years competition on the tennis and track teams, which are consid- ered as minor sports. The Club met in the first month of the present school year and awarded letters to all eligible freshman letter winners of last year. The last meeting was held the week of May 10 to choose this year ' s eligible letter winners and also for the winner of the Gates-hHoward sportsmanship trophy. All members are elected by the T Club itself. iJ- UXJlLs. iJ- sfl tEZ THE Purple Pepsters as an organization originated from a suggestion made by Miss Allbritten, our girls ' athletic di- rector, emphasizing the need for an organized pep club at Taylor. Thirty-four girls accepted the Idea and a club was formed under the leadership of Florence Taylor, president; Grace hHall, song leader, and Lois Knight, cheer leader. Wearing uniforms consisting of old gold blouses with purple ties and dark skirts, there Is no doubt that the Purple Pepsters have added much to the spirit and atmosphere of the games. In so far as the pep has been Increased and the school ' s spirit uplifted, just that much has the club been a success. Cagley, Alspaugh, Derby, Bell, H. Smith, Holcombe.

Knight, Henton, Chappell, Webb, Myers, Charbonnier, Hall Women s Class Winners HE girls ' series of hop, skip, and jump basketball proved to be one of the most interesting features of the intramural basketball season. The teams were closely matched and showed results of consistent train- ing and exceptional coaching. The enthusiasm shown by the boisterous class supporters assured all concerned that the girl ' s basketball sea- son was full of good sportsmanship and class loyalty. The Sophomore sextette proved their authority for the control of the class cup by nosing out the fast Senior team in an extra play-off game which decided the final victors of the series. The Sophomores finished the season claiming five victories with only two defeats, both of which were close games. hiazel Butz and Lois Knight were high scorers for the second year v omen. Taylor and Shaw scored high for the Seniors and proved to be the most accurate and dependable players of the class. Derby and George, the long and short of the Freshman team, did all the high scoring for the first year women and show great possibilities for next year. Phillips and Butterworth, of the warring Juniors, were high point players tor the third year women but were unable to hold back the scoring of the other teams. r ■ ■■ ■ ' s- R.

Men s Class Winners Men ' s intramural basketball brought with it many a cheer and tum- ble to off-set the unlucky inter-collegiate basketball season. All turned out to support the class teams with storms of applause and ex- temporaneous cheering. Winning six straight games without a setback and threatened only by the Freshmen, the Juniors were undisputedly acclaimed men ' s class basketball champions. Bearing their honors modestly, the classy red and black third year men looked over their conquests and found only one close game, that one being played with the Freshmen. The Freshmen tied for second place. The Sophomores failed to rally in the play-off, giving the Freshmen a 30-23 victory and the claim to the best intramural basketball team in school — next to the Juniors. Last but not least the Seniors, who were too busy doing other things to offer seri- ous competition, accepted fourth place with no games won — a small class, but game and wiry basketball players In spite of the handicap in numbers.

Nose Around The picture at the left shows one of our modern equipped brick buildings which was somehow overlooked in the view section. Sur- rounded by beautiful shrubs and rising in stately magnificance against a background of poplars, It opens on a spacious drive which provides easy access to the college farm. Ample space is provided in convenient storage rooms for such articles of food as are not needed for further use by the dining hall. The slate roof of this structure serves as the target for third floor artillery practice. This is only one of the many beautiful spots on our campus which has not come in for its share of publicity.

All the teachers ' pets at Taylor aren ' t in the classroom. Indeed the Faculty Kennel Club is a thriving organization (second only to the Quiz- ' Em-On-Monday Club) which seeks to make education avail- able not only to the masses, but to the underdog. That its purpose has been accomplished is evident from the 7:45 scene at the Admin- istration Building which on several occasions has resembled the begin- ning of a fox hunt. After all, a teacher must have some encouragement and if his students fail to understand him, can he be blamed for seeking more attentive disciples?

And told about the time that he Sneaked in the fire-door; And all the old grads chuckled some And burst into a roar; And laughed and laughed, and told again The clever things they ' d done. And dean, he smiled about each trick And called it boyish fun. But I sneaked in the fire door (I should have had more sense) And dean, he had my S.P. ' s. jerked. It was a grave offense. Somehow he didn ' t see the joke It makes me feel quite sad That what he laughed about in them For me was really bad.

Procedure: Drop a lighted match into gasoline, this is to see if it supports combustion. Does it? How high did it raise you? Measure distance in millimeters. Next determine boiling point by placing lOcc into a beaker over Bunsen burner. Move a lighted splint over the gas and see how close you can come to it without igniting it. Make a record of the distance. Note the physical properties of nitroglycerine. Pound a small piece of dynamite into a flat shap e, and jump on it. Chop the dynamite in pieces one millimeter or the result will be inaccurate. Put dynamite into flask of 25cc capacity, and add lOOcc of nitrogly- cerine. Move a lighted splint around the bottom of the beaker. This is to see if it leaks. If your are still in good health boil for fifteen minutes, and pour resi- due through a sieve. After the blood has been mopped from the aisle, and the remains of your fellows sent to the morgue, clean up your desk and then from your results calculate the amount of dynamite will be needed to blow the eyebrows off of a mosquito.
