Faculty Spends Restful Days In Various Ways And Places
Majority Of The Faculty Members Keep The Home Fire Burning
After a two weeks period of rest and keen enjoyment, our Faculty and students are once more at work, with spirits and bodies refreshed, and a determination to make this year a banner one for M. C. Of course we will know what a student will do with vacation, but what of those who daily undertake to point out for us the trial marks on our upward journey of growth? Well, let us, "peek through the knotholes in the fence and see!"
Dr. and Mrs. Schwalm spent the greater part of their vacation at home, helping , to spread Christmas cheer. They had as guests at a bountiful and delicious Christmas dinner, the following: Professor and Mrs. Bright and daughter, Professor and Mrs. Hoff and daughter, Miss Lola Beahm, Miss Ruth Blickenstaff, Paul Blickenstaff, and Warren Sis-ler. Dr. Schwalm says that for the most part, he, "hunted rabbits, and, and made plans for the coming year."
Dr. Harnly spent his vacation at Nashville, Tennessee at the American convention for the Advancement of Science as the representative of the Kansas Academy of Science.
Dr. and Mrs. Yoder and Joe drove to Thomas, Oklahoma, where they spent four days at the B. F. Stutzman home. Mrs. Stutzman is a sis-ter of Mrs. Yoder and the mother
of Dwight and Ada Stutzman now in school here, and of Miss Maurine Stutsman A. B. '27.
Dean Mohler was among those of the faculty who enjoyed a quiet and much appreciated rest at home. During the vacation, according to re ports, the Dean and Professor Boone had much sport teaching Dr. Schwalm to shoot rabbits.
Miss McGaffey attended the Student Volunteer Convention at Detroit as the representative of the family, enjoying visiting with old friends on the way to and from the conference.
Prof. Blair spent vacation choring around home, and "trying to keep warm" during the recent cold spell.
Professor Hershey, Bowman, Utrecht, Hoff, Teach and Richards spent a comparatively quiet and peaceful vacation in their home on the hill
Matron spent Christmas on the Hill with her sisters, Mrs. Shirk and Mrs. Hoffman.
Professor Boone and two of his assistants spent a part of the vacation in their department, cleaning, repainting, and remodeling. They have built a blue-print booth in their finishing-room, and equipped it with complete "blue-printing equipment." Boone also spent a day in Wichita, investigating new lacquers and lacquering equipment, and purchased a new lacquering gun which sprays on the lacquer, finishing a piece of work in about one-third of the time required for a brush-application, with much smoother results. He ex-pects soon to establish a new lacquering booth next to his blue-print booth. This is a big improve-ment for the Manual Arts Department
Miss Brown spent her vacation at her old home at Buffalo, Kansas with her sister. She reports a very cold return trip.
Miss Lehman spent a week with relatives at Cassidy and Humboldt, Kansas returning to McPherson for the remainder of her vacation.
Prof. Hess left Wednesday, De-cember 21 for eastern Kansas where he spent a week "giving the rabbits exercise" afterwards going to Law rence where he spent two days in
Jan. 20, Next Bulldog Tilt
Returning from Wichita Friday annexing their first conference strug-gle the Canine hoopsters find them-selves facing a long wall before they will be seen in another conference match.
The next game is the return game of Friends University when they are to play on the college court here January 20. Both teams have shown their strength and weakness on which to base the next two week's practice and a much smoother performance is anticipated.
From that time on until the end of the season, Gardner’s squad will play three games almost every week. On the 24th the Ottawa men will come to this floor and the team goes away for three games with Sterling, St. Benedicts and St Mary’s before returning to the home court to oppose Bethany, Baker and St. Benedict's on the 3rd. 8th and 11th of February successively.
Dropping over to Bethany to meet the Railroaders, they then return to McPherson for the return St. Mary's Sterling and Bethel games and then close the season at Lindsborg March 9 against the Bethany Swedes.
It is reported that Prof. Blair faced a new problem in Psychology when he undertook to plaster the ceiling of his bathroom during vacation.
Program Featured With Folk And Yodle Songs—With Native Instruments
The Fincil's Tyrolean Singers
and Yodlers appeared as the second number of the lyceum course at the Methodist church last Wednesday evening.
The company was composed of five singers, three men and two women. They come from Innsbruck, Tyrol, which is an Austrian district in the Alps mountains. They were dressed in their picturesque native holiday costumes
The program was light and entertaining. It consisted of folk and yodle songs, also Tyrolean, Swiss, and American numbers. One outstand-ing feature was the “Echo" song presented by the tenor and the soprano. In this they imitated the Alpine mountain echoes. They ac-companied their singing with native instruments, the zither, the guitar, and the lute. The descriptions of their country were of particular in-terest.
This has unofficially become the motto of our school with the passing or the day when every one is sup-posed to turn over a new leaf and make resolutions of one kind or an-other. These resolutions have been a widely discussed topic ever since, the beginning. It is said that the world and universe were created In seven days but it is not said which days in the year they were created but from all indications they must have been the last seven days of December for at what other time but on January the first when the whole world has made resolutions could it have been pronounced good.
The making of resolutions has become so general that it has also become a fact that they are to be broken as soon as possible and not to be observed until the hallo is again sought upon the beginning or a new year. Several students of our college have shown their original sin-cerity by keeping the fact that all resolution are to be broken nearly every day in the year. These students having set their minds upon the purpose of self betterment have

They unanimously decided to do all their smoking in the various build-ings on the campus and to smoke a package more a day than they used to do. Lessons were listed among the unknown for the next year. To overlook all the profs. and never cooperate with any of them was an-other of their resolutions. Dad was to be the victim of a weekly appeal for more allowance money. The lit tle girl at home was to receive but one letter a month and the little col-lege girls were to be rushed to death. They also derided to complain about the so called dorm food. Midnight tin can frollies should always be taken advantage of even at a sacrifice of honor points. Their last resolution was to believe and do everything their teachers told them
These resolutions were getting along very successfully until it was discovered that a poor freshman had taken several of these students as
Plan To Enlarge Chapel
The McPherson College chapel is to be enlarged and refinished according to plans made by the executive
committee. This decision was made after consulting with Mann and Company of Hutchinson, Kansas, concerning these needed changes.
They plan to extend the chapel to the east and to widen it by building a wing to the south. On the east end a large stage is to be built. The plan is to reflect the whole chapel and to furnish it with first class opera chairs. If this plan is carried out, it will give a seating capacity for about 450 people. In every respect the room is to be made comfortable and pleasing and to afford adequate service for years to come.
Prof. J. J. Yoder, business manager says that efforts will soon be made to raise money for this improvement, and if they are successful the chapel will be ready for use by the opening of school in the fall of 1928. Definite plans and the approximate cost will be worked out by the Board of Trustees in their annual meeting Feb, 14.
Winner To Represent McPher-son At The State Contest
The local Anti-Tonacco Oratorical contest will be held in the college chapel. Tuesday evening. Feb. 7.
The winner of the local contest will represent McPhersons at the state contest to be held at Tabor College, at Hillsboro, on March 9. The State Anti-Tobacco Association offer first, second and third prizes of $35, $25, and $15 respectively. The orations will be judged on com-position and delivery.
The length of these orations is limited to 1800 words with not more than 250 words of direct quotation.
McPherson was fortunate in the laurels won in past years in State Contest. Three years ago, John Whiteneck won the first prize, two years ago, Ora Huston '27 won second place and one year ago, Huston took first honors for his college.
It behooves the orators of this year to maintain the forensic reputation of former years. All those who are aspirants for oratorical honors should see Prof. Hess, ora-tory coach as soon as possible.
his ideals and so bad copied their resolutions for his. This student was one of the few who had not been told that resolutions are like the old Grey Mare, and are not what they used to be.
When we came back from vaca-tion some of the more superstitious students thought they must have spent their Christmas vacation in warmer climates and been sent back to our school as a recuperating agent The rest of the students were astonished and the faculty did not know what to make of It.
The rest of the students were working harder than ever to make up their two months back work while this little freshman was running around getting into more devil-ment than any student had this year. He was the only cause for the president sending his little green carpet away to get it renaped. His friends at last succeeded in getting the rea-son for his sudden burst of anything but goodness and after thirty six hours of explaining were successful to getting him to alter his resolu-tions.

Nonken and, Crumpacker at the guard pool rums repcatodiy dribbled
lone-handed in under the Friends goal for tallies. Working together they recovered the ball quickly when endangering their goal and started
the offensive. Some long shots from their hands only added to the con-fusion of the Quaker defense.
Miller. E. Crumpacker and Kinzie easily demonstrated their ability to score: long shots, one-handed shots, a feed shots, and tip-in shots helped to swell the tally
A nearly accurate play-by-play re-port follows.
After missing two free throwns, Miller started the McPherson tally with ''Crummy“ coming up from the center for the second Friends worked the ball down the flour, missing a set-up, and Nonken took the ball through under the goal Friends substitute and, missing the basket, lose the ball out of bounds. Kinzie falls on a long one. Friends lose the ball again after a miss. Kinzie crushes a counter and the Quakers call time out.
“Casey" rings the goal for the U. Miller takes the ball under and tips it in on the rebound. E Crumpacker scores a free throw. Friends miss a long chance; Miller gets a basket on a side shot.

Chapel Echoes
"Looking Forward" was the sub-ject of Rev. Holm's chapel talk Wed-nesday Holm said that the beginning of the New Year was the time took back and see faults and to try to correct them. More import-ant however, to look into the future and see yourself as you will be fifty years from now.
We have but one life to live and should realize that there is some-thing more in life than making a living. We shall live a life that shall stand in time and eternity. Holm cited instances of lives which were not beautiful but were to serve as warnings. "An ounce or preven-tion is worth a pound of cure." Dr. Schwalm suggested a watchword for the new year—"grow."
The Girls' Glee Club led by Miss Wilma Batchelor, sang three songs Friday morning. They were; "Come Where the Lilies Bloom." “Will o' the Wisp," and "Bird are Singing."

Mart Alec Is Ain't
Mart Alec a creation of the mind of the columnist, was found dead in
his apartment early this morning. It is generally believed that Mart died from meloncolia after reading the advertisements in a nationally known weekly. During the latter part of his suffering he would mum-ble; “I have only one chance in five:
Even my best friend wouldn't tell
me: The danger line, the danger line: Quick get the Ungentine! ” He would occasionally smile sheepishly and matter; "You just know she wear "um." His last words were: "They satisfy."
The coroner who handled the case found a badly mangled Saturday Evening Post near the door way. The apartment's janitor seem to have been the confident of the deceased.
Mart Alec. according to the janitor, hollered all he read or heard. Some one thoughtlessly placed a magazine in his room: probably the work of a practical joker. He read it and then the trouble began. Mart bought a new alarm clock to insure his getting to work on time. He spent twenty dollars an a scale which automatically registered his weight. He bought seven brands of tooth brushes and twenty-three of pastes. Three times a day he gargled with nine different mouth washes. An unmailed order for false teeth was found on Mart's writing desk. constantly and every evening before

The coroner states in his report that Alec saved nearly forty year of his life with these devices and of course came to his death sooner.
The reporter ask the janitor to
briefly state his opinion of the case.
“Well," stated the laborer. "I think it was plainly a death from disappointment. Alec told me him-self that he had tried every shaving cream on the market and he still couldn't get any pleasure out of shaving. He smoked thirteen brands of cigarettes and thirty blends of tobacco and with less enjoyment than if he hadn't smoked at all. He used Listerine twice daily but popularity didn't come as quickly as he thought it should. Just before his death his Parker pen broke when it rolled off his table and two hours afterwards he checked in."

With George Gardner, 'Si" Sargent and Bob Osborne lending the scoring drives. The McPherson Bankers are performing the of last year and are well started toward the championship of the Independent League. After a trial start with Newton in which the Cashiers tasted defeat, the scores have all been on the win side.
In their first league game at Wichita, the Rankers pulled a desperate last minute rally to emerge victorious to the score of 40-37. In the return game here, Gardner and Os-borne led the Tellers to a 54-38 victory only by running away from their opponents in the last minutes of the game.
Last Thursday night 'Si' Sargent bore the colors for the Monied Men when they emerged with a one point margin, defeating Hie Carey Salt team of Hutchinson 30-29. Before vacation time in a pre-season game here, the Bankers conquered the Saltmen only after a hard struggle.
Tonight in the college gymnasium the Salt Team will play a return game with McPherson, and a tight battle is readily forseen. A few seats have been placed on reservation at Bixby and Lindsey's in order to accomodate those who want to insure themselves a seat at the game
