Professor Boone of the industrial Arts department has written and had published a book which he is using as a text for first year woodwork. He also recommends this book as a text for high school use. This book divided into three parts each of which is intended to make a real contribution to the teaching of Manual Train-ing.

Part I contains several definitely outlined courses for different years of woodwork, together with the pro- jects drawn up to scale and direc- tions given for their constuction. Over 50 projects many of which are new are included in the plates and are carefully graded so that they progress from the simple to the more difficult each Introducing some new tool processes just as the student is ready for them. Enough material is included for several years work.

Part II consists of 37 chapters each treating some phase of material related to woodwork and intended for class study and recitation. Such topics as lumber cutting, warping effects, inlaying, carving, tool classification, stencilling, low-tone staining, fuming, and all kinds of wood finishing are written up in these chapters. Also a complete list of demonstration exercises for class work and a fine bibliography are included.

Part III has been called the "Teacher's Guide" because there are eight chapters of helps and hints that will assist the teacher in making his shop more efficient.

The Industrial Arts department is full and several applicants have had to be turned away because of lack of room to accommodate them. This department is one of the big departments of the school and is growing larger each year.

The first game is scheduled with Southwestern College to be played at McPherson on October 7. This allows Gardner a short month in which he shall mould a crew of fighting Bulldogs, who shall endeavor to make the name of the Fighting Bulldogs oven more feared in conference circles.

Coach Gardner is very optimistic this season and is developing his grid aspirants into a fighting crew of canines who will growl and scrap their way to the opposite goal line repeatedly during the season.

The Bulldogs will be led into the fray by Leo Crumpacker, veteran McPherson high school hack. Crumpacker, is a three-letter man in football, clever passer, runner and a wonderful punter. Gardner may play him at quarter or full.

The nucleus of the '27 eleven is composed of Nonken, Hanna and Dixon, backs who are sophomore letter-men: Elmer McGonigle, Wilber McGonigle, Wray Whiteneck. Hawkins, Countryman and Murrey, who occupied positions on the '27 line. From this wealth of letter-men and an overflowing amount of fresh-man material, Gardner will choose the eleven.

A few of the new men who come to McPherson with envious high school records are Caskey, tackle and guard from the state of Iowa; Blagham, quarter, from Orawkle, Kansas; Crumpacker, guard, from Elgin, Illinois; Rump, end. McPher-son high school: Stansberry, guard, from McPherson high school; Mc-Phall, quarter from McPheron high school; Fretz, tackle and half-back, from Center high school; Brubaker, guard, from Holmesville, Nebraska; Graham, end, from Fruitland, Idaho; Sargent, end from Fruitland, Idaho; Leagel, an all Colorado tackle from Burlington, and Kelly, guard, from Gypsum, Kansas.

Spohn, Crist, and Warren are former Bulldog squad-men who are battling for berths on the line. Miller and Barngrover are promising ‘26 squad men, aspirants for back-field positions.

With this group of athletics constantly increasing in size and ability, George Gardner shall, with the assistance of ‘Doc' Heaston and 'Si' Sargent, former Bulldog stars, choose eleven finished fighting Bulldogs to lead the Crimson and White Southwestern hope October, 7.

After devotions led by Dr. Harnly the now president, Dr. Schwalm was introduced. He gave an "in formal talk” on what a college education should do for a student. He says that the business of a college is not to prepare for some vocation but to grow personalities that are capable of large contributions to life--to make character. The person getting what be should out a college education should be able to do three things; first, be able to dream dreams and to create; second, pro duce a serviceable type or life; third, be able to live a satisfying life. He advises. "Live your life with a purpose. Love and live the highest things of life."

Professor H. H. Niniger of the biological department has recently been honored by having his name given to a newly discovered species of invertebrate animal, now extinct, the tracks of which he found near Grand Canyon, Arizona, in l925. Professor Nininger presented the slab of sandstone in which the tracks were found to the National Museum at Washington. The account of the discovery together with a plate illustrating the appearance of the tracks are given in the Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collection, July 30, 1927. Dr. Charles W. Gilmore curator of paleontology, United States National Museum, describes the tracks and names the animal Tri-avestigia Niningeri.

Of future days and years that'll seen The best for old M. C.

We'll hope for thee M. C. We'll cheer for thee M. C. While winds do blow, and sunflowers grow.

Glad to see that you are all look-ing well. We know you are doing well or you wouldn't be back. The freshman and freshwomen are as in-intelligent as can be expected, so we will as usual took forward to the biggest year to the history of the school. We'll count this year a suc-cess when the Swedes have been beaten, and it won't be long now. What's wrong in taking three good drinks of cheer to 1927-28. (Fount-ian pen ink or ice water may be us-ed.)

Dr. Schwalm was correct when he implied that the girls had their make up on about as well as usual. If according to the Dean a number of better, that is so it wouldn’t come off, they would save many a gentle-man scholar lots of embarrassing ex-planations.

According to the Dean a number of students are working their way through school. How do they do it? We've been trying it for two years and haven't worked anyone.

We heard a good one and if the person who originated it will kindly forward his or her name, address, telephone number, date of birth and five dollars to partially cover cost of printing, we will be glad to give them their due credit.

Get acquainted with the President. Forget former triumphs. People enjoy discovering your worth. Note that strength of character is not inhaled through a cigaret.

The Juniors held their first class meeting Friday. They elected of-ficers last fall for this coming school year. Two of the officers did not

return and these vacancies were fill-

ed at this meeting. The officers are as follows:

Denice Longdorff __ President

Marvin Steffen- Vice-President

Harold Fasnacht — Sec'y-Treasurer Francis Berkebile _ Student Council

Dorothy Swain_Student Council

Fasnacht is unable to attend school this first semester and Floy Brown

was elected to assist until his return.

Professor Mohler was the speaker in chapel Friday morning. He talked from the text, 'Where there is no vision, the people perish." In applying it to our own life here on the campus, he gave us several gems of thought which we might do well to think over.

The freshmen and sophomores were given the opportunity of choosing their faculty advisors today.

The orchestra made their first chapel appearance. Professor Doll is very enthusiastic about the chapel orchestra this year. With an exceptionally large number of first and second violins and other material he promises an orchestra of the first class, which will play many classical selections during the year.

A special program was given at the young peoples Christian Endeavor Sunday evening. Ira Ilide, the leader for the evening, had a very well selected program. The program was short but the numbers were of the best. A solo by Miss Batchelor, readings by Miss Lehman and a short talk by Professor Bright made

After church service C. E. reassembled and the members were divid-ed into nine groups. These groups

went to the homes of nine of the faculty members. The games and other entertainment for the hour

were in charge of a leader appointed for that purpose. The students were able during the course of the evening to get acquainted with the faculty and one another.

Two groups, one with a circuit of four and one other with a circuit of five gave short programs at each of the faculty homes. The programs consisted of musical numbers and readings.

Everyone is extended a cordial invitation to attend C. E. Come and enjoy the services with us during the year. Next Sunday the subject for discussion will be Christian Endeavor as a Society. Haven Hutchinson is leader for next Sunday evening.

Mr. Orville Mitchell who graduated with the class of 1927 is attending school at Manhattan this year doing work in the Department of Electrical Engineering. It will be of interest to students interested in this line to know that Manhattan allowed Mr. Mitchell 73 semester hours of credit on his engineering courses for the work he did here. This means that he was allowed thirteen hours more than two years for the work done in McPherson College. Courses were accepted as follows:

This should be an encouragement and guide to men doing pre-engineering work at McPherson.

On every hand one bears regrets from college alumni that they did not appreciate the opportunity during their college life for music study or realize the need and value of music in their lives and careers. Regardless of what ones profession

may be music is always an invaluable asset. A large number of the world's great business men, financiers, professional men and statesmen are dis-tinguished musicians. Teachers are in great demand who know some-thing of music; especially are oches-tra leaders a scarcity, Not only is music a cultural and practical factor in ones life, but also the great-est educational subject taught. What other subject so trains the mind, muscular co-ordination, develops the emotional life and increases the appreciation of the finer things in life as music?

Now is the time to study music, when college days are over one is usually too old or too absorbed in the affairs of making a living to take time to study. College credit is given for all music studies and musical organization work, Music may be taken as part of the electives. Thirty hours are allowed on the college degree if music is taken as the major. Do not make the mistake of failing to get musical training while it is so accessable. An excellent Fine Arts faculty is at your service —consult them freely.
