After a great deal of anticipation on the part of the members of the Young Women’s Christian Associa-

from that organization. Mrs Grace Sloan Overton, of Sioux City, Iowa, spent three days on the campus last week speaking and conducting dis-

Mrs. Overton is nationally known as a speaker, and a sympathetic woker among modern American youth. She has received some recog-nition in the literary world, having had a number of books of drama and education published. Her exper-ience as an instructor in college and her constant contact with young people has given her a broad and fine conception of their problems.

Arriving shortly after five o'clock Monday evening, Mrs. Overton was first greeted by the cabinet girls who entertained her at tea.

Following dinner, at six forty-five o'clock she spoke to a joint meeting of both men and women students. Her general theme was "Colliding personalities", and centered around the types of individuals found in ev-ery walk of life. The types she dis-cussed are: the drifter, who lacks

"follows the crowd”; the cynic, who is intelligent but starts out to find something wrong and isn't disap-pointed in his search, thus building a foundation for pessimism; the un-

ercome conflict by declaring every-thing is as it should be and, because of lack of using his reasoning abli-lity is loss to be admired than the

servative; and the searcher after mind, sets out to solve the great truth who, with educated heart and problems which confront him. In this connection, Mrs Overton said that a new emphasis is being placed on scholarship- the spirit renais-sance in entering the universities and college at the present time. In clos-ing she challenged the group wth: To which group do you belong? Do you see the whole? Get into the stream of reality and make some con-tribution."

"Science of Human Conduct" was discussed in open forum fashion at a joint meeting of the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A Tuesday forenoon at ten o'clock. In introduction Mrs. Overton declared that the youth of today analyze life more keenly than did their forefathers. Their minds mature between the ages of eighteen and twenty-four. The maturity of the instrument of understanding is dependent upon three elements; abil-ity to take and maintain a certain direction, ability to use one's own powers and the means at hand to attain and ability to have intelligent auto-criticism. These thoughts were enlarged upon and contrubuted to by various students. Some outstanding

Y. W. HOLDS BARGAIN

An assortment of hand-made nov-elties was offered for sale at the ba-zaar held in the Y. W. room all day Friday.

The purpose of this project was to supplement the fast-diminishing treasury; but the profit has not been fully ascertained. The aprons, pillows, foot-warmers and other gifts were made by the members of the advertising, and conference commit-tees, and their helpers.

Prof. G. L. Doll, Violin instructor for the College motored to Sterling College, Sterling, Kansas last Friday night. Professor Doll played the principal viola in the "Messiah" con-cert given by the Sterling College

Prof. Doll reports an excellent re-cital of the famous Handel, “Mes-siah" by the chorus. The chorus was accompanied by a large orches-tra and this made the production much more effective. Mrs. G. I. Doll and little daughter Marilyn, Herbert Eby, Orion High and Raymond Lan-des also heard the concert.

The girls of the college were the guests of the Y. W. C. A. at a Christmas party given in the Y. W. room Friday afternoon

After the girls were seated around the brilliantly decorated Christmas tree, a program arranged by Miss Harriett Hopkins was presented Miss Lola Beahm gave a Christmas reading which was followed by a vocal solo by Miss Irene Stonberg Chester Carter then told a Christmas story. The program was concluded with a number by a quartet including Mildred Wine, Margaret Devil-biss, Helen Eberly and Hazel Fall.

Santa made his appearance, and after being assured of the good conduct of the children, he distributed gifts to all of the girls.

A letter from Rev. F. F. Holsopple D. D. pastor of the Central church of the Brethren of Roanoke, Virginia reads as follows:

Hazel Q. Austin, evangelists, came to the Central Church, Roanoke, Va., Nov. 7 and remained until Nov. 23. This series of services constituted the clumination of the autumn cam-paign beginning Sept. 1. These two splendid workers gave us splendid service.

CHEMISTRY SOCIETY MEETS

The Chemistry Society met Thurs-day afternoon. The program consist-ed of topics taken from a new set of chemistry books, "Dictionary of Applied Chemistry" by Thorpe, which the department has recently ac-quired. The program consisted of the following talks:

The next meeting of the society will be held in the chapel and will be featured with motion pictures pertaining to chemistry. Everyone is invited.

SMITH SPRING HOLMES GIVE MUSICAL PROGRAM

Smith and Holmes Are Com-

READINGS BY MISS SPRING

The Musical Instruments Were Trom-bone, Saxophone, Basset Horn, Cello, Violin, Flute, and Piano.

The Smith-Spring-Holmes Orches-tral Quintet appeared in the Community Hall, Tuesday night. Decem-ber 11. The quintet were a versatile company presenting a varied program of classical and popular music inter-woven with clever readings by Miss Coyla M. Spring.

The personnel of the quintet were all accomplished musicians. Clay Smith was heard on the trombone, saxophone, and basset horn. Smith is known best as a composer of more than twenty-five semi-classical songs. Such songs as "Sorter Miss You," "Maid of the West" and "Honey-suckle Babe" are favorites.

G. E. Holmes, saxophone, flute, and cornet musician was the second member of the company. He is also a composer of considerable pole. Some of his favorites are "All Nature Sings of Thee" and "Gates of

The first number was an ensemble "Last Love" by Braham. This number is built on a weird, melancholy motif and is played in a rapid tempo. Braham composed this number to re-vive the alumni forgotten dance music of the Gypsy tribes in Hungary of many centuries before.

For the second number G. E. Holmes played a saxophone solo from one of his own compositions "Valse

Miss Lotum Spring presented "Polonaise de Concert," by David Copper, the greatest cello master of all time. Miss Spring demonstrated artistic ability in her cello solo.

Miss Cola May Spring elected a number of readings which she presented as a talented and experienced reader. Her humorous. reading "The "Burglar” brought continuous laugh-

The next number was an ensemble "The Second Hungarian Rhapsody” by Listz, the masterpiece of the "com poser and one of the most difficult of all classical selections to present. Miss Lila Goff played the "E. Minor Concerto" by Mendelssohn in a most delightful manner. Miss Goff presented some brilliant technique and tone effects with her violin.

The value of the information and inspiration received last week is de-

terrorized by the practice and use made of it. Some sound working principles were presented by Mrs. Overton for youth who feel the in-adequacy with which they meet the present day situations. Her mes-ages were encouraging and chal-lenging. Past accomplishments do not appear very large on the horizon of the past compared to the pos-sbilities of the future.

It would seem after reflection on the thoughts presented us last week, that an organization of purpose with a will to execute it, along with self analysis is necessary for the “ac-complishment of the most.

Tomorrow right or the next morn-ing will witness the annual Christ-mas homecoming to every little com-munity of its college young people. What effect will it have on your community?

Will the rest of the breezing in take the good, stolid friends off their feet? Will the rush and the hurry of all the vacation activities with their hurried greetings appear as a streak, leaving your friends under the impression that college is a similar affair? (Perhaps that conjec-ture would not be so far off either.) Or will vacation be sort of a high hat affair in the eyes of the citizens of the community? Perhaps such an attitude is unpremeditated by the student, but there is danger of its arising.

Will there be a disdain created for a reclusion into which you may shut your self because there are no particular interesting associates about?

Or, best of all, will there be a bet-ter Christmas vacation for every one with whom you come in contact? Will old friends be glad to have you home for the holiday?

Really, in the eyes of every community the various colleges which their representatives attend are "sized up" exactly by the impres-, sions created by those name repre-sentatives as they return for vacations after one semester of four years. How will M. C . appear in your community?

Conservatory of Ohio for the second year has been elected to the Honors Course in Theory. Only seven were selected for this course from the en-tire student body the class being limited to those possesing superior ability to harmonization and compo-sition.

While attending McPherson col-lege, Cassier, a student of Miss Jessie Brown, was recognized pos-sessing superior ability as a pianist.

Floyd Mishler, former McPherson college coach, guided his team through a successful football season this fall. One big victory occurred when the Samohi team of California defeated The Long Beach Vikings. Mishler was coach at McPherson 1924-25, serving here for a position at Santa Monica, Calif. He is also an alumnus of McPherson college.

Colgate University has at last found a use for cribbers, students who pass their college exams with the aid of little slips of paper and roving glances. Thirty successful cribbers from that institution were recently studied, entirely unawares, as labratory specimens to determine the mental and emotional trails of college students who know how to cheat and get away with it.

One Week ago this afternoon the evidence and the eloquence had all been presented and the bewildered judges were confronting the task of choosing the women's debate team. Coach M. A. Hess was well pleased with the tryout. He says the ones chosen for alternates were really to the race and should make the team next year. So it is little wonder if the judges considered it a task to choose the team.

The team is composed of four ex-perienced debaters: Ruth Anderson, a junior, and Floy Brown, Mildred Libby, and Fern Gaile, seniors. Miss Anderson and Miss Brown constitute the affirmative while Miss Libby and Miss Gaile disagree with them.

Helen Eberly and Dorothy Tur-ner were chosen alternates, and as they are freashmen, they will

principles mentioned were: it is not being acted upon that gives you release of personality, but acting to: maturity is essential today because of the intricacy of the technique of life.

Several thoughts bearing on the same theme and phases of school ac-tivity were again discussed in an open forum meeting at four thirty o’clock Tuesday afternoon. A number of every day campus , problems were presented by students for dis-cussion and consideration. The ne-

out a number of principles: realize self as a part of human nature, remove causes for short-comings, and do nor demean self more than one demeans others. "The person who fails to objectify himself will be-come either depressed and blue or a strutting egoist."

After a dinner given in her honor Tuesday evening in the dining hall. Mrs. Overton spoke on the "Relations between man and women." A number of "down town" and "hill" stu-dents besides those residing in the dormitories wore present.

In chapel Wednesday forenoon Mrs. Overton spoke on "Meeting Life With Poise" and gave two essentials of poise as being the development of a harmonious selfhood and projecting the selfhood into society. Self-

which one possesses and by which the outside world is made to conform with one's dreams. In order to develop a selfhood one must think in-dependently and possess a broad social outlook.

Different individuals use different methods by which to adapt them-selves to society. The most common are coersion, deception, and accom-modation. The latter method, by which one refuses to kew-tow to his superiors and does not strut before his inferiors, is the ideal. Mrs. Ov-erton conluded by saying, "He who has achieved self realisation and In so achieving has not bruised another

In a mass meeting of the girls at one fifteen o'clock Wednesday afternoon, a number of questions con-cerning present day problems of the modern girl were asked by several of the group and Mrs. Overton gave her opinion concerning them. A large number of students conferred with her privately during her stay on the campus and several remarked her sympathetic insight and keen diagnosis of each problem.

During her visit, Mrs. Overton was a guest at the V. F. Schwalm home. She departed Wednesday afternoon leaving her philosophy of life with the students with whom she had come in contact.

leader of music and an inspiration to the young people. She has a winning personality and is an artist in the use of short story for Christian teaching. Twenty-three were baptized and twenty-two letters presented. Brother and Sister Austin's efforts were greatly appreciated, and the executive committee extended to them a hearty invitation to return at the earliest possible date."

No other misfortune is comparable to the death of a young person's ideals. This was the theme of Pro-fessor Blair's address n chapel Mon-day.

In each person there is the self who does things and another person who passes judgement upon it. This fellow should be considered.

In other words have ideals and live up to them. Ideals furnish incentives for noble accomplishments because we tend to become like what we look upon lovingly and approvingly.

History is full of the shipwrecks of great possiblities because they were not guided by high ideals.

Friday the chapel hour was given over to music. The orchestra played "Moment Musicale" and "Marche Millitare", both by Schubert. The college male quartet sang two Christ-man songs. Fred Ellis sang ‘'Duna" by McGill and "Philosophy.”

All of these numbers were wellpreserved and evoked a hearty response from the audience.

SLUMBER PARTY

The home of Dean and Mrs. R. E. Mohler was the scene of much merry-making last Saturday night when Mrs. Mohler entertained the members of the Y. W. C. A. cabinet at a slumber party.

At about eight thirty o'clock the girls arrived and were received by their host and hostess, the latter giving each guest a miniature paper Christmas tree and instructing her to match the color of the candles on her tree with the predominating color of one or the rooms upstairs and ensider that her bedroom for the night.

'chambres de unit' the girls descended the stairs and found fun in store for themselves.

The house was decorated in true Christmas style. Lighted festoons hang in the windows, sprigs of pine were artistically arranged around the amber chandeliers and in vases placed hero and there, and a lighted Christmas tree occupied one corner of the reception room.

An air of expectancy lent excite-ment as the guests were instructed to repair to the kitchen. While the Misses Arlene Saylor and Lois Dell made fudge and Mrs. Mohler popped corn the others (including Dean Mohler) played a game of volley ball with an inflated toy balloon by blowing it back and forth over a cheese cloth net, stretched across the room. The "blowing" ability of the participants bore silent testimony to

the reason women are so talkative.

Games of adverbs, ghosts and chardes occupied some time but as the midnight hour approached the lights were dimmed and the guests seated themselves in a circle on the floor while their hostess told a Christmas story, ‘‘David's Star of Bethlehem. ” After the group had sung a number of Christmas carols and after a cheery "Good-night, ” the girls retired to their rooms—but

Strains of victorla music roused the slepers at seven-thirty o’clock Sunday morning and at eight o'clock a delicious breakfast consisting of waffles, creamed chicken, hot chocolate. raspberry jello with whipped cream, and Christinas tree cookies was served buffet style. Favors of tiny white candles in mint holders curried out the Christmas idea.

At about nine thirty o'clock the guests departed expressing their gratitude to their host and hostess for their hospitality and declaring how thoroughly they had enjoyed the slumber party.

Those present were the Misses Lois Dell, Dorothy Swain, Mildred Swenson, Margaret Devilbiss, Arlene Saylor, Ruth Anderson, Harriet Hopkins, Irene Gibson, Eugenia Dawson and Fern Shoemaker. Regrets were received from Misses Ruth Blicken-staff and Alberta Hovis.

TOYS REP AIRED BY GIRLS

During the last few days the Y. W. C. A. room has been turned into a workshop where the members of the freshman and sophomore girls’ Sunday school class have been working in repairing and repainting toys which they have collected from fam-ilies on the hill. This work is being done as part of a social service project which the girls have taken up under the supervision of their teacher, Miss Mildred Lamb. Besides the repairing of toys, some of the girls have spent some time in making children's clothes. The toys which have been repaired and the clothing which has been made will be given to Miss Godfredson, the county Red Cross worker to be distributed as she sees fit.

Y. W. C. A. HAS BEEN BUSY

The social service committee of the Y. W. C A. of which Miss Ruth Blickenstaff is Chairman has for the past month or or so been conducting a school for the Mexican families in McPherson. The school is held every two weeks in a room in the court house. The Mexicans had expressed a desire to see the place from which their teachers came, so last Saturday, Miss Blickenstaff brought her classes out and entertained them In the college Y. W. room. A Christmas program was given, with some songs by a girls' quartette, and a Christmas story. Then Santa Claus came bringing with him a gift for each little Mexican and enough sacks of candy to go around.

Other girls who have been helping with the project include the Misses Fern Shoemaker, Eugenia Dawson, Lena Beaver, and Elizabeth Hess.

Mrs. Foultz of McPherson has pre-sented the library with a year's subscription of the Christian Science Monitor. Miss Margaret Heckethorn says that the consensus of librarians is that this is the most unbiased paper published.

He is the type of defensive player that every basketball fan likes to see in action. We depend on Nonken to put the ball in scoring position. His teammates have ex-pressed their confidence in him by the fact that they elected him captain of the 1929 squad.

Elmer Crumpacker, left-handed Bulldog flash, has been the greatest puzzle to his opponents during the last season. His pluck and shooting ability make him an outstanding player that causes a lot attraction in spite of his small size. He merits his honorable mention at the nation-al tournament last spring.

Rush Holloway, Bulldog letter man with two years experience at forward, is back for action this year. "Sunshine" is cool, steady, makes an accurate shot, and is always dependable. He is a man that the opponents watch closely for his hobby is to make those impossible shots. Archie Blickenstaff, Bulldog two-letter basketeer, is also back and will be seen in action with the crimson and white. “Blicky" is a good sport and a clean player of the type to which every loyal Bulldog can give his hardiest support.

"Rosie" Rump, one-letter man with his expereince at center on the Bulldog quintet last spring, will prove to be a valuable man to the squad this season. He is worthy of your attention.

Loren Hock. Bulldog forward of one year's experience with the championship team, is back on the floor this year with his usual speed and pep. He has a keen eye for the basket and a good offensive player.

Leo Duke, All Kansas Conference center of 1927, with the champion Emporia Teachers, will be seen in action wearing the Bulldog uniform this season. His cool-headedness and consistency has a tendency to steady his teammates in a crisis. He has had a lot of experience and should be of great help to the Bulldogs this season.

Conch Gardner's new material is made up of men with previous high school experience many having enviable records. In early practices they appear to be living up to their recommendations. Those that makeup the new material are: Johnson, forward and Darrah, guard of Mc-Pherson high school; Wells, guard and forward of Joplin, Missouri; Windmill, guard and King, guard, of Zook; Elkins, center of Aline, Oklahoma; and Lerew, forward of Portis, Kansas.

Four pro season games have been scheduled in order to try out diff-ferent combinations of players to fill the two vacancies in last year's team, as well as give the boys exper-ience playing together in order that they may be true to form when the conference season opens.

Since the Bulldogs have already proved their ability, by winning two of the pre-conference season games, the first conference game should be of unusual interest to every loyal supporter of the team. With the nationally known coach, "Bo" McMil-lin from Kansas Aggies as referee the Bulldogs will meet the fast St. Mary's squad on the local convention hall court for the season's opener January 12. A section of the bleach-ers will be reserved for the student cheering crowd and the cheerleaders promise a lot of pep that will help our team on to victory. Let's start the season right and turn out 100 per cent to support the team.
