Full House Sees Beautiful Color Effects Sketched By Talented Sketcher And Reader

The fifth number of the lyceum course was given Monday evening to a well filled house. The program was given by Paul J. Barnaby, En-tertainer. He divided his program into two parts, the first consisting of impersonations and readings. A few of his impersonations and read-ings were "Nicholas Nicholby." "John Jasper Godfrey and His Crowbar." "A Lunkhead and a Gawk." "Marriage and Purgatory are as One," and "Always Stir the Sugar In Your Coffee Cup,"

The latter part of his program con-sisted of chalk talks, crayon sketch-es, and comic cartoons. A few of these numbers were "The House by the Side of the Road", "The Giant's Garden", and "The Road to Mandalay" by Kipling.

The next and final number of the lyceum course will be hold in the new Community Hall Auditorium, sometime during the first part of May. No definite date has yet been made.

B. F. McGILL PRESENTS LIBRARY WITH SPECTATOR

Mr. B. F. McGill of McPherson recently presented the College Library with a volume containing about 215 numbers of the original Spec-tator published by Addison and Steele, and for which our College Spectator was named. With the ex-ception of about fifty pages which have been lost, the volume contains number 174 to 394 dating from Thursday Sep. 20, 1711 to Monday June 2, 1712, and is well preserved.

While its predecessor, the "Tat-ler" was a wide step from the previous heavy political publications in that it contained a combination of political news and social gossip from all public places, the "Spectator" entirely disregarded current political news, except for an occasional odd allusion or advertisement. It was a purely literary publication usually limited to a daily essay on morality, literature, philosophy and other serious or humorous reflection.

It was published every week-day from March, 1 1711 to December 6, 1912, during which time 555 numbers were published. By their wit and humor, grace, fine shades of criticism, and delicate satire in sketches of humor character, social eccentricities diriculous features and manners and corrupt symptoms in public life and taste. Addison and Steele were able to bring before the attention of the people the evils and deficiencies of their life. Such characters as Susan Civil, Mary Mcanwell, Josiah Henpeck, R0bin Goodfellow, Barney Brittle, Rustic Sprightly, and Abraham Thrifty are suggestive of some of the themes that were used.

Once upon a time I thought I’d understand man, and would even-tually marry one. But alas’ man is an intricate piece of machinery. Here is what I have decided.

If you wear gay colors and start-ling hats, man will hesitate to take you out, but if you wear quiet col-. ors, he will take you out and lose both eyes on some female in orange or red. If you are a "snake" he hates to have you meet his mother or his sister, and if you are a "flapper” he inevitably remarks to his "fret brother" that you are trying to be wicked. If you are the sweet old cling vine type, he doubts if you have any brains. If you are advanced, modern and independent, he doubts if you have a heart or scruples.

If you are affectionate and allow him to embrace you, be soon tires of your kisses and if you don't he gets

BULLDOG DEBATORS WIN FROM BETHANY

Hayes, Spohn, Idhe and Frantz Annex Northern Division By Defeating Rivals

Next Class Will Be With Bethel Col-lege To Decide State Cham-pionship Team

McPherson College won the north-erm division in debate last Friday night when they won both decisions in a debate with Bethany. The next clash will be for state champion-ship with Bethel.

Hayes and Spohn upheld the af-firmative here. Ihde and Frantz were the McPherson speakers taking the negative at Lindsborg on the question "Resolved, that the United States should cease to pro-tect capital invested in foreign lands by armed forces except after formal declaration of war."

Prof E. A. Davis of Emporia State Teachers College judged the debate here. While stating some of his criticisms he said that be regard-ed Lamb of Lindsborg the best speaker on the platform. Davis ex-plained that the affirmative was victorious because of fewer incon-sistencies and the systematic organ-ization of material, and superiority of argument.

Sturba of Newton, the Judge at Lindsborg said that the McPherson team was a well balanced team with two debators instead of a team of one debator and a man. He gave us reasons for his decision, more points, more examples, and more authority,

BULLDOGS WIN THREE AT NATIONAL TOURNEY

Machmen Stayed Until Only Eight Teams Were Left Of The Fifty-Two

Dogs STopped By Hillyards in Quar-ter-Finals After Beating Peru.

Liberal Lions and Wichita U.

Flashing brilliant basketball for three consecutive dasy until they run up against the champion Hill-yards of St. Joseph, Missouri, and then failing to hit anyway near their usual form until their opponents had ran up a fourteen point lead, the McPherson college Bulldogs dropped out in the fourth round of the National A A. U. tour-nament at Kansas City Thursday in a 35-17 decision.

Of the eight teams on the floor that night, the Hillyards were the only players that were playing up to form and the champions were displaying their best exhibition so far in the tournament. McPherson forced the chemicals all the way but could not overcome the fourteen point lead the St. Josers grabbed the opening of play.

The McPherson style of play had won the entire support of the 8,-000 spectatpr cheered contin-ually for the Bulldogs. McPherson and the Pittsburg Teachers were the only two teams from Kansas who lasted in the fourth lap and both fell by the wayside at the hands of teams composed of the cream of the Missouri Valley, the Hill-yard, and the Sterling Milks.

At the fall of his team in the tourney. Miller, uncanny scored for the Bulldogs, was high point man of the tourney. The team had an unusually record of clean playing and expert basket in general. Spectators there were beginning to ask shortly after they witnessed the Bulldogs in action such questions as "Where is McPherson?" "What is it, a college, town or what?" When the dope was going around before the Hillyard game it was considered a toss up, and had both teams been in their best form a toss-up if would have been.    The

records of McPherson in the tourn-ament saw the Bulldogs playing the cream teams of section of the country in each round of play. Mc-Pherson took the fast Nebraskens from Peru Normal off the list in the first game. Especially Miller was in top from at center and in his deadly habit of scoring under the basket. The Bulldogs carried off the laurels in a comfortable fashion, 45 to 31.

Chapel Echoes

Dr. Harley conducted chapel. Fri-day morning. His theme was “The beauty of possession that is ours for the mere noticing." He expressed the desire that we all might have "eyes to see, ears to hear, and minds to understand',, and ended with the challenge, "Are you really glad you alive? Do you really enjoy living?"

The speaker at chapel Wednesday was Rev. Bess, pastor of the Free Methodist Church of McPherson, “Truth" was the subject of his talk.

“If you seek truth in the spiritual realm with the same deligence that you do in the scientific realm you will surely find it was the key sen-tence. Rev. Bess gave illustrations of scientific truth, of psychological . truths and fully, of spiritual truths

Mr. Christian Hope, Jr., member of the State Medical Board and former student of McPherson College, spoke in chapel Monday. Mr. Hope has spent a great part of his life working among the laboring classes and talked of his experiences in this work and of his travels in Western United States, Mexico, and Canada.

Extemporaneous Debate Adds To Fun Of Party—Program Is Followed By Refreshments

JUNIORS STAGE ST.

PATRIC'S DAY PARTY

The Junior class staged a St. Patrick's Day party in the Heibert home last Saturday evening.

After playing a few St. Patrick's Day games, a program was given consisting of a Vocal Solo by Miss Arlene Saylor, pianologues by Miss Ruth Heibert, a reading by Miss Iva Crumpacker, and a debate.

* A unique part of the program was the extemporaneous debate with Floy Brown and Allen Morine up-holding the affirmative and Miss Eunice Longsdorff and Philip Spohn supporting the negative of the arguement, resolved: “That Irishmen make better husbands than Scotchmen.” The negative won the decis-ion, in a very close contest, by a margin of three tenths of one per cent.    

Shamrock favors were given and the same observance of St. Patrick's day was carried out in refreshments of brick ice cream with Shamrock design, cup cukes with green icing, punch, and green and whit mints. Refreshments were served to twenty-eight guests.

THE ETERNAL FEMININE

Every once in a while some old-fashioned person stands up on his hind legs and lets out a bitter yawp about the shamelessness of the pres-ent generation of women and, especially, the flappers.

The contrast is drawn between this generation and those that preceded it in the good old days a woman's face was radiant and clean—nothing need but warm water and soap. Now, adays you can't see the face for the powder and the rouge and the lip-stick. All wrong, all wrong!

But to take this attitude is to look bat-eyed at history.

Woman is what she has always been. If the Colonel's lady and Julia O'Grady are both alike under the skin, so it is equally true that the girl of today and the girl of all time have been very much alike— on the surface of the skin.

Just the other day, American and

British scientific excavators uncover-ed the tomb of one of the queens who once queened it in ancient Ur of the Chaldees, the place where Abraham was born. This particular tomb belonged to Queen Shub-ad, who flourished about 4000 years before Christ.

And carefully stowed away in her grave, along with, her crown jewels and ornaments, were her face paint pots and the vessels for her unguents.

How modem it all sounds! We seem also to catch a dim echo from that faraway time.

It's the king speaking; fondly:

"Shubie, old thing. I want you to look your loveliest this evening. I am receiving a deputation from my subjects in the west. Go upstairs and put on your lip-stick. Why darling, you look positively naked!"

IRISH DAY CELEBRATED BY SOPHOMORE CLASS

Rook Furnishes Bulk Of Entertain-ment After Which Program And “Eats" Are Offered

Class colors of green and white and the conventional green of the Irish Saint were quite in harmony at the St. Patrick's Day party of the Sophomore in the recreation room of Harnly Hall, last Saturday night.

A trailing lattice work of green crepe paper and shamrocks conceal-ed the everyday walls of the room, while groan and white streamers shaded the lights.

“Rook." played on green-topped, quartet tables, was the chief mode of entertainment of the evening. A box of chocolates, the prize for highest score, was awarded to Oliver Ikenberry.

In the latter part of the evening a special program was given by members of the class. Miss Evelyn Kimmel sang a solo. "In April" and Miss Bernice McClellan gave a reading from one of Booth Tarking-ton's novel. Miss Weaver played a piano solo which was followed by a humorous reading by Miss Mildred Swenson. The concluding number was a whimsical Scottish pianologue by Miss Mary Prather.

After the program, dainty refresh-ments of shamrock-decorated brick ice cream, white layer cake, and

punch were served.

"Resolved that married women

should be employed in full time posi-tions outside the home?" was the topic for discussion at the Sterling-Emporia Teachers women's debate.

BULLDOGS AT NATIONAL

fans here are highly satisfied with the showing in the tournament. There's no doubt in anyone's mind that this string of Bulldogs compos-ed the strongest outlay of basketeers that has ever represented the col-

lege.

MANERISMS

The first thing I hear Coach Gardner say after the benefit game between the Banker and college teams was, "How much did they take in?" I guess from that you can realize just what was the feeling toward the Kansas City tournament - be wanted to go and show the rest of the basket fans that Mc-Pherson had something serious in the way of a basketball team.

We've heard at college that Dr. Schwalm got a 'kick' out of the way the boys stood up under fire—yes, most everybody got "kicked" and it lifted us even above the clouds.

One of the players was asked if he had any fun at the tournament. "Not until after the Hillyards beat us," was the reply. Well. I'll bet there was some pretty close rules on training to withstand that four day grind.

There were only two players on college teams named in the All-Star Teams of the tournament—one was "Spider" Miller and the other was Carroll of Rockhurst. On the honor-able mention list Rockhurst placed two men, Lamb and Zahner, while McPherson placed Crumpacker and the Maryville Teachers placed Burks. With the exception of Miller and Carroll, the three teams were composed of Cooks. K. C. A. C. Hillyards and Sterling Milks. To the victors in the honors.

MATTERS OF INTEREST BY STUDENT COUNCIL

All-School Party Is Announced — Basket Ball Men To Receive Sweaters.

The McPherson College Student Council met Tuesday evening and transacted eeveral matters of student interest.

A committee is now investigating and arranging for an all school soc-ial. The committee will soon announce the type of social it is to be, the time it will be held, and the place it will be given. A few sug-gestions were made to the effect that the basket ball men, debators, and others receive their letters, and tokens of recognition at this social The affair is to be given in honor of the men who have achieved honor in school events. Definite plans will be announced later.

The second matter of interest is that of purchasing sweaters for the basket ball men. A motion was pass-ed that this be done, and is now in the hands of a committee. Eight good $15.00 woolen sweaters is the goal.    

All school elections will be held the first week in April, says the stu-dent Council. The officers for stu-dent body elections are; President and treasurer of the Student Council; editor and business manager of the Quadrangle; editor and business manager of the Spectator: cheer leaders.

The matter regarding tennis courts was thoroughly discussed and it was decided to present a plan to the man-agement in order to start some action as soon as possible. Several stu -dents have offered their labor for one day to get the new courts under-way.

Other matters discussed were: A slight charge will be made for the State Debate to be held here the la at of the month. This charge is made in order to cover the unplanned deficit of something over $70.00.
