is McPherson going, to have asmuch "pep" to put behind debate, track, tennis, and baseball as they did in basketball? If you had been at the mass meeting Thursday morning at 10:00 you would know.

The cheerleaders bad charge and. with Portia Vaughn at the piano, started things going with “Come on and Fight". After a yell was given Prof Bright was called on to speak.

Me told of the exciting condition of the campus during the week the bas -ketball team was playing in the National Tournament at Kansas City.

He gave some examples of the ad normal conditions as they existed. In the

Home Economies department they were working out an ideal diet for a winning team. In Mathmatics class the time was spent in maping out plays that the team could use in the tourney. Prof. Bright's history class was becoming disinterested and in order to stimulate interests he had to make reference as Jackson resembled somewhat our enlongated Center.

Melvin Miller. Prof Bright stated the fact that the faculty were on the point of going enmasse to Kansas

City but the student body objections were against it.

Dean Mohler was next called upon to speak. He started out in a very poetic way somewhat like this:

Every Rose has its thorns.

There is fuzz on all the peaches.

And there never was a pep-meeting Without some long dry speeches After promising to make just a

short talk he went on to tell about. -----j

their prey once and so full of poison that nothing but death can follow. Among the lizzards there are pretty ones and ugly ones, big ones and little ones and the very common lounge lizzard.

The bird cage is the next place of interest. In the cage there is nearly every kind of fowl. The more common ones are the canary, parrot, and love bird. The canary is vain, the parrot talks nonsense, and the love birds are the first to find a corner. The secretary birds are ready with pens for real labor on books. The eagle rules the roost. The owl maintains his intelegence in silence. A poor fish is always welcomed by the osprey or fish hawk. The mocking bird sings the songs of other birds.

The real show starts now as the world packs the bleachers to wit-ness the feats of the great. First is the ring master who keeps every thing going smoothly. The actions of the rings are directed by the skilled trainers who make the animals preform their acts in life correctly—Oh! there is a rush. The elephants are mad and have broken loose.

INTENSE PRACTICE BEGUN

Negotiations coming in from other schools for games for the baseball season has opened up the problem or turning out a squad for the base-ball schedule.

As a sport, baseball has been treated as a dying activity for the college and the controversy over the granting of las year's letters had very nearly succeeded in abolishing the game here. However, the possibility of a large number of games has caused the Athletic Board to take action on the matter and the possi-bility of a turnout for the diamond is assuming the form of a certainty.

At a meeting last Thursday the baseball men discussed the matter and from the enthusiastic spirit shown it was decided to offer some competition for a number of the col-leges now asking for games.

Hawkins, veteran shortstop, was lowers and from the reports in lin-elected captain of the horsehide fol-ing up material he says that a splen-did turnout is expected for the first practice Monday. "Zeke" Saylor, a letterman two years ago may turn out and is a good man at the keystone. Nonken, first bagger did some fine work last year and he will again appear on the diamond. Curtis and Spohn, lettermen in the outfield and Mann, catcher last year will probably turn out for their former positions. Yoder, letterman at third base can be relied on.

Former letterman who are not in school now are Barre, Kolzow, King, Beckwith and Holloway. The entire pitching staff of the last season. Hol-loway, Barre and Kolzow will not be in uniform so the pitching problem is the biggest part of the difficulty in lining up a formidable nine. Miller is a candidate for the pitching burden and has a splendid form and if another curve artist can be developed the situation will be well in hand.

Thirty-three men have signed the eligibility list and from all intentions mean to make a big fight for a regular berth and will no doubt make the letter men perilous of losing their positions.

Kansas Wesleyan of Salina has opened negotiations for a four game schedule with McPherson and Bethany wants two games with the Bull-dogs. Baker, St. Mary's, St. John's Southwestern. have wanted games and according to the Athletic Board of the college letters will be granted in case the team plays six games.

In some cases, candidates for the; squad will divide their time on the track and diamond in order to compete in both activities.

As the baseball is not to be supported financially by the Board, most of the games will have to be sched-uled away from home in order to meet expenses however, games with Bethany and Kansas Wesleyan will be played here and probably some other games with nearby teams from, the towns about.

SATISFIED FEELING SHOWN

Two Hundred Students Join In Yells And Songs At Conclusion Of Each Speaker (Continued on Page Four)

Early in the morning when the sun is coming up did it ever dawn upon you that a college campus com-posed of managerie in itself? Every person on the campus can be char-caterized as some animal in a four ring circus. The show is managed by capitalists who will take a chance on anything even the modern youth.

The side shows are numerous. They present many dazzling ways of entertainment and chance. For further information ask any student the number of ways he can spend his liberal allowance of fifteen cents a week. At the main show the reaping of the sheckles and presentation of paid admission tickets is bandied by the ticket or business office.

When once on the inside of the big tent one may find any kind of an animal represented. There are the elephants, both tall and short. Then comes the lanky camels with droop-ing bumps who are always looking for just a little swig. The next animal is always present and is the one of the first to attract attention. Three are the slender slick giraffe and boy they are sure proud of their necking

Circus Days

ability (just naturally runs in the family). The week eyed hippo is next in line, it is his habit to rush into anything, body and soul, without even looking. Every circus is not complete without a rhinoceros for they are so big and tough. The little and timid zebra is also in line.

Among the caged animals we have the lion who roars as he passes back and forth. Next comes the tiger, cousin to the lion. On his high pedestal all he lacks is the lion's roar. In the same family we have the mountain lion or a puma who follows ones footsteps so close that when he cries cold shivers run up one's spinal cord The monkeys are next with their numerous tricks or monkeyshines which is all they know and are always supposed to be funny. In the cage following there is the laughing hyena who is always laughing or giggling.

The reptile division is well filled with snakes and lizzards. There are the big snakes and the little snakes. Some of these snakes will crush their prey, others gradually choke their prey to death, while others just bite

How did you like chapel Friday? If you liked it express your senti-ment and thus help in having more of the same kind. There is now an effort being made to have the orchestra play every other week and the singing of old familiar songs

as often as permission can be obtained from the chapel committee. In the future the words to some of these old songs will be passed out as the words to some of them are almost forgotten.

DIRECTED BY JACK 0ELRICH

May 23rd has bee set as the date of production for the senior class play. It is to be produced in the new convention hall by an exper-ienced cast. "The Enemy" by Chan-ning Pollock, a drama in four acts is one of the strongest of all antiwar plays, the characters are clear-cut, the plot is strongly woven, and the climaxes are tense and dramatic.

The them of the play is war, its absurdities and its tragedies. Carl Bebrend, a young German author, has written a play against war, arguing that all people are alike, and therefor ‘The enemy'' is not a foreign nation or race, but hate of introclearnace. But just as the play is being accepted for produc-tion, the World War of 1914 breaks out, making the sentiments of the play reasonable. Carl, much against his will, is drafted into the German army. As the fervor of war sweeps over him, he belles the sentiments of this play, and rushes into the struggle filled with national and racial hatreds. He leaves behind a young wife, who afterwards gives birth to a son—a future soldier of hate. The wife in the meantime lives with her father, a college professor, who, because of his anti-war sent-ments, is dismissed from the university and reduced to abject pov-erty. The little son dies of starvation, just as the trumphet marshals into line the new recruits. The cries out “Not my baby! He won't mother, answering the trumpbet. safe! My baby is dead! Thank God!

TAYLOR IS TOASTMISTRESS

The first track meet of the season occurred Saturday night, beginning the Women's Athletic Association of at seven o'clock, when members of McPherson College gathered with their gentlemen friends for a ban-quet in the basement of the First Church of the Brethren.

Reports of the guests, particularly those masculine, proclaim the affair one of the outstanding social events of the school year. It marked the recognition of the W A. A. as a live organization striving to further its purpose “to promote physical efficiency, scholarship, and good fellow-ship by increasing the interest in gymnastic and athletic activities among college women."

The idea of a track meet was suggested throughout the evening. After the dinner Miss Adeline Taylor, toastmaster, posed as coach of a track team and introduced the participants of each event.

The "Relay" by Miss Viola Bow-ser, president of the McPherson W. A. A., showed how the local assoc-iation had gone over four laps of the rase since its organization in 1924. In conclusion, she challenged the W. A. A. members of next year of other years to come to run a better race than has an far been run.

Camel atm and force were in evi-dence in the "Shot Put" by Miss Doris Ballard, when a volley of shots were put as various guests.

To me, the final pep pep meeting Tuesday morning is one that I shall not soon forget. It was one of those outstanding events. We were made to feel that there are great things and great people right in our midst coaches, athletes, debaters-—and that we have a great school and a great president! And facts say that it is all true! But as the last echoes of "All hail our College fair" bore our last pep meeting away into history, I was thinking of our Sen-iors and particularly of those two who went leading their last College pep meeting, and who have had so much to do with the successful cheering and contribution to the success of the boys this year. June and Cheesy, we think it only Just to express our appreciation of tin-work you have done, and to say “We’ll surely miss you when you're gone!”

—W. L. S.

LET'S START now

Next year is going to be a bigger one! Yes, we really believe that! Our debaters and orators have been putting M. C. on the map in Kansas for the past several years, and now Gardner's squad has made the

United States sit up and take not-ice! A new spirit prevails. A new inspiration has come to make our scholarship and school life get to work, to call themselves a worthy relation. Lets get behind Dr. Schwalm and his plans for a "qual-ity" school! Let's elect officer who will create sentiment for a higher life, and then get behind them. "Dad” Elliot awakened in us a greater desire to be something worthwhile and showed us how. It involves self-mastery and obedience to the highest laws in life. The "Y" organizations want to do all in their power to help every student to attain his greatest possibilities. They want to help every one to a fuller re-alization and use on his powers, and to greater morale. If you are an athlete, they want to help you to "play the game;’’ if an orator or debater, to work for ‘the highest glory of the school; If an officer or in any other way a contributor to the school life, to work for that "Quality" school: and if just living, helps you to enjoy life’s truest joys and satisfactions. Help them and let them help you!

Courtesy is measured by thought-fulness, the kind that not only in thought, but which prompts action.

How courteous are you in the newspaper room in the library? Did your thoughtfulness ever include the idea thar confusion, waste of time; and inconvenience for other readers and the librarians would be avoided if the papers were hung on the rack when you finish reading them? It does not take much time and the lib-rarian has suggested that she would appreciate such coutesy.

Chapel Echoes

Schwalm pointed out some of the "earmarks" of a cultured life There were three >

First, loyalty to truth, involving a devoted search for it and facing it fairly and squarely when found. Dr. Schwalm gave five rules for the use of truth in straight and con-structive thinking, namely, find facts, filter them, focus them, face them and then follow them

Second, respect for personality, wherever and in whatever condition found. It should always be treated as an end in itself, and not as a means to an end.

Third, reverance for that which is searched. The real test of culture-is respect for what other people regard as sacred, though we do not ourselves so regard it.

The head man here said I was being held as a deserter of Sandino's army. One glance in a mirror told me why. If I had the use of a bar of Ivory soap I could wash the dirt off and prove my identity, but there is no soap. Four days ago I hired six men to scour the country and find me a bar. They reported this morning that none could be found.

Soap in this place would be as strange as ice men in Greenland. They hang me here for using tooth paste. Please send me a bar of Ivory P. D. Q. and in plain wrapper.

CHEMISTRY CLUB TO

PRESENT MOVIES THURS

The Chemistry clubs offer the unusual this week in the way of six reels of educational motion pictures which will he presented next Thursday evening at 7:.30 p. m. in the chemistry lecture room.

"The club invites all who are in-terested," said Dr. Hershey, head of the chemistry department.

The films, are of a scientific nature although none of them are technical. Nearly an hour and a half will be required to review all of the pictures. The following films will be shown. The Land of Cotton, The Sugar Trail. Our Daily Bread. Thomas A. Edison. Pillars of Salt, and A Trip Through Film Land. The film "The Land of Cotton was produced at some of the largest plantations and mills in the south. It is an instructive story of the cotton industry told in a fascinating manner.

"The Sugar Trail," depicts the beet sugar industry from the beet to the finished product. It is full of valuable information,

The evolution of the wheat industry is visualized in the film "Our Daily Bread," An interesting part is the primative methods used several hundred years ago.

The film which is probably of more interest than any other is entitled "Thomas A. Edison." We fol-low this great genius through the extensive General Electric labora-tories as he was being entertained twenty years after his invention of the incandescent light. The picture memorializes one of the greatest

days in Edison's lift. Such eminent scientist as Dr. W. R. Whitney. Dr. Irving Langmuir, Dr. W. D Coolege, Dr. Charles P. Steinmetz, also appear in this priceless film.

The firth picture “Pillars of Salt." was photographed several thousand feet below the earth's surface. The film reviews the salt mining industry.

"Suggestions for McPherson College Girls” is the title of a little pamphlet found in a corner of the library among other pre-historic relics. The purpose of the booklet was to "further the interests of the wo-men, students as they are related to dress.” When was it printed is the question. Evidences seem contridic-tory.

The fact that "good materials will wear long and look well are always the most economical" was suggested. Judging front that, the thing must have been printed since we began to stretch the nickles, if not to shorten to stretch the nickles, if not to shorten the skirts. Another indication of recent publication is, "Class rooms are of varying temperature." Why. it might have even been created in 1928

That solution is made to waver when we read in the suggested list of clothing there is no evening gown mentioned, and the thing becomes almost antiquated when we find no mention of galoshes. The pamphlet gets older yet when, among the things “which are not in good form at McPherson College", is discovered "stockings or other colors than the shoes!" At least another decade is added to that age as we discover, "High shoes should be worn duing the winter months,"

Ten any idea that the thing was a modern compilation was knocked to smash when among other things in poor form at the institution 'use of rouge, lipstick, or an immodest use of powder" was found. Some one inquires, "Why don't they still print such a list of suggestions to fit this day and age?" The suggested answer is that the "Authorities" have learned not to waste their time.

On the afternon and evening of Friday, April 6, the Christian endeavor societies of McPherson County will hold an institute or rally in the Church of the Brethren in McPher-son.

Mr. W Roy Berg, the State Field Secretary, will be present and give several worthwhile addresses. There will be discussion groups for those who are interested in the work of Christian Endevor officers and committee members. There will also be a period given to the discussion of how to organize a society. The meeting will start at 4:30 Friday afternoon.

Later In the evening a McPherson County President will be chosen. It is hoped that this meeting will be a stepping stone in putting our county on the map in the work of Christian Endeavor.

Prof. and Mrs. Doll and Marilyn at-tended the Wednesday and Thursday session of the Kansas Federation of Music Clubs Convention at Hutchinson. They report a well-attended, most enthusiastic and worth-while convention. A number of lectures on the various phases of music by prominent music educators of Kansas and other states, besides a number of recitals by representatives of Kansas Music Clubs were much enjoyed. A Hymn contest was a feature of the Junior Music Clubs Wednesday afternoon, Thursday evening after the Salon Orchestra prelude. Mrs. Cora G. Lewis, of Kinsley, well-known speaker and co-worker of Mrs. Edwards Mac-Dowell, gave a powerful address and plea for the MacDowell Colony at Petersborough, New Hampshire, A choral contest revealed some very fine ensemble singing. Other inter-esting events added much to the value of the convention.

The Cecilia Music Society mem-bers able to attend the Thursday evening program were the Misses Jessie Brown, Jewell Newton, Ruth Pentecost and Jessie Davisson. Our music club has taken a wise step in joining such a great organization as this Federation of Music Clubs.

TENNIS SEASON OPENS WITH MUCH ENTHUSIASM

With the coming of these bright warm days the tennis courts are be-ing used continuously. The projects this year are very good. With three letter men and as many other good men that are going to make the letter men work to keep their old places, the competition is going to develope a wining team. Just now there is only two courts. But in the near future work is to begin on the construction of the Class ’27 Memorial Courts.

Thursday and Friday of this week will ace the initial appearance of the track and field men in an inter-class meet to be held on the college field. By that time work on the field will be in a complete state for the sprints and distance events with a splendid squad of material in competition—material that has been working out daily since the beginning of the second semester.

As the rules provide that no let-terman may compete in the event in which he won his letter, the new material will have the limelight. The winners of the events are to be tak-en for the varsity squad.

Gardner will act as starter and official and with, the assistance of some of the students, the meet will be run off in a fast ordered manner.

With the selection of the mem-bers of the squad after the class meet, the Bulldogs will have just a short week to train up for the first dual track meet of the season with Sterling at Sterling on April 6.

The Dean went on further to say that the thing to do now was to show the same enthusiasm in helping develop a quality school that we have shown in athletics, debate, and all the other activities of the school in doing this we would be farthering the ambitions of a certain tall, well dressed man, that is seen about the campus. (?)

Dr. Heaston gave the final talk of the meeting. He brought the greet ings of the down town business men to the school and coach along with his team. In speaking of the backing of the team, Dr. Heaston said of this team Mr. Heaston said the town has been back of them as it has never been before. "Coach Gardner has done a very unique thing. We as down-town men must grant that it was no accident that you had a good team, but they did it by staying ever-lastingly at it." said Mr. Heaston. He went on to say that in the forty years that McPherson him been in existence no greater number of persons, as compared with the larger colleges and universities, have graduated from it but that it is a quality group and a group that have accrediably proven themselves.

One of the activities in which McPherson College students participate, that is not so much heard of as some other activities, but at the same time one of fur-reaching influence, is Deputation Work. Possibly some of the students have never heard this work mentioned before. The work is done by Gospel Teams, each composed of from four to six students, which go to Brethern churches in Kansas and the closer parts of neighboring states to give programs of inspirational, devotional, educational, and missionary nature.

In this work the students come into closer contact with the constituency of the College, and are able to understand them better, help them to a better understanding of the College, and at the same time give programs which are mutually helpful to the people listening and to themselves in learning to render service of a religious nature to other people. Not only do the Teams give programs In churches, but they also get into high schools at every opportunity to give programs and boost for M. C. This work means of our students serving the Church and receiving helpful training, as well as being an advertisement of great effect for the College

The trips are financed by free-will offering taken at the churches visited. Last year there wan a surplus of about $200.00 which was sent to the General Mission Board to be used for summer-pastoral work. There probably will not be as large a surplus this year, but what there is will be used in the same way. The teams have already been in Missouri and Colorado this year as well as having given programs in several Kansas churches. A team is in Nebraska

This work is sponsored by a com-mittee representing the Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., World Service Group,

Christian Endeavor, and Faculty, It is an important part of our extracurricular activities and deserves your hearty support.
