DR. J. J. YODER RESIGNS AS BUSINESS MANAGER

Trustees of the College Held

Annual Meeting February 4

FRIES BUSINESS MANAGER

Prof. J. D. Bright Granted Leave of Absence for One Additional Year

The Trustees of McPherson College had their annual meeting on Febru-ary 1. Most of the new faculty were em-ployed for the new year. Dr. J. J.

Yoder resigned as business manager of the college after about eighteen years of excellent service in that capacity. He has rendered the col-

lege great service in establishing

and maintaining its credit. Prof.J. H. Fires was elected as business manager of the college and Dr. Yoder will become treaurer of the Board of Trustees and will be in charge of all capital funds of the constitution. Dr. Yoder will continue his teaching and administer the college farms and look after endow-ment investments.

The trustees were well pleased

with the work of the college. The trustees definitely approved the policy of continuing to build for quality in McPherson College. They are of the opinion that the greatest good can be done by striving for a

superior quality in all of the various phones of its work. To this end they

are planning to reduce the number of faculty members to the lowest minimum consistent with efficiency work, hoping to encourage the

younger members of the faculty as rapidlv as possible. Prof. J. D. Bright was voted as an extension of his leave of absence for one additional year. Others of the faculty will be

in universities during the coming

summer.

The college is seriously consider-ing the advisability of limiting its student body and setting an entrance requirement and in this way make the slogan "The School of Quality" have definitive and positive meaning.

The trustee left with a decided feeling of encouragement and opti-mism regarding the present situation

and further prospects of the college.

McPHERSON MUSIC FACULTY

ATTEND STATE CONVENTION

On February 7 and 8 the Kansas State Music Teachers Association met in Topeka. Music Teachers from all parts of Kansas attended this con-veniton. Professor G. L. Doll and Misses Jessie Brown and Fern Ling-enfelter represented the McPherson College music department.

The McPherson representatives re- port a most delightful and inspira-tional convention. A number of art-ist recitals were given for the enjoy-ment of this large group of music teachers. Outstanding music leaders attending the convention from all over the country. The greater part pf the time was spent discussing the problems of the music teacher. A number of inspiring lectures were heard on the value and the apprecia-tion of good music. The McPherson representatives were highly gratified

to see the splended piece of work the

association is doing in the interest of music in this state.

Plans are being considered for the merger of the University of Minne-sota hospital and the city hospital of Minneapolis. The outline provides that the city pay the maintenance cost and the university the educa-tional expense.

PRESIDENT FRANKLIN

VISITS THE CAMPUS

President E. F. Franklin, the new president of Southwestern College, and Mr. Dadisman, the field secre-tary, visited McPherson College on Monday, February 11. Mr. Frank-lin was highly pleased with the

surprise at the excellence of the building and equipment. He also vis-ited the Industrial Arts Department and was very appreciative of the un-usually fine work done In that department.

President Franklin is a forceful personality and promises to be an effective adminstrator of the col-lege at Southwestern. PEP DISPLAYED AT SALINA

That McPherson has more "'pep," and more loyalty in supporting its representatives in all lines of activity than any other college in existence, was plainly shown by the group of rooters that did its bit at the side-

line during the game in Memorial Hall last Thursday evening when our Bulldogs walloped the Coyotes.

Something like seventy-five col-lege students and other supporters of the Bulldog cagers gathered to-gether into a small group under the able leadership of “Berries" Crist sent forth notes of music and vol-umes of noise that filled the im-mense building, make it impossible for our boys to lose the game.

The colorful Bulldog pepsters ac-tually attracted more attention than did the Wesleyan group several times their number. Even the members of the Coyote team as well as the spec-tators were seen giving their atten-tion to the M. C. group in spite of the feeble efforts of their own sup-

porters.

Misses Helen Hudson and Lois Dell were dinner guests at the Dr. Gregory home Wednesday evening.

M.C.CAGERS TAKE CLOSE GAME FROM ST. MARY'S

Bulldogs Were Not in the Lead Till Last Two Minutes

BULLDOGS 24, ST. MARY'S 22

Rump Led the Bulldogs In Scores

With Nine Points

The McPherson College Bulldogs edged out with the long end of a

22-21 score in their game with the

St- Mary's Knights in the final mom-ents of play last Wednesday, evening to retain their lead in the Kansas Conference.

The Bulldogs played a stake game from the start. They were not them-selves and seemed to be unable to get to hitting in the form thy have shown against strong opponents this season. The Knights outplayed them

at the half and were never behind until the very end of the game.

WHen all but two minutes of the game had been played, with the Catholics leading 20-22, Coach Gard-ner subsituted Holloway for Miller

ful Knight fouled Holloway, who made good his first free toss. The second one was short and the ball rebounded to the man who threw it, being passed quickly to Rump

who sank a deep into the ring for two more points giving the Bulldogs their first lead of the game thus far 23-22. In the next play St. Mary's got the ball in their possession and made several desperate but vain at-tempts to score before it was re-covered by the more capable Canines. Rump was fouled and made another

point giving the McPherson squad the 24-22 lead that was standing when the gun was fired to end the

Rump led the Bulldogs in socres made with nine points, while Mc-Mindes led the Knights with seven.

Election of Queens

One of the outstanding events of every school year is the selection of an all school queen. Every girl thrills at the thought of being a queen at least of some one's heart, and to be a queen of a whole school of hearts is, indeed, no small hon-or. TO this position Miss Alberta Hovis, junior,. was elected to fill. Other girls who has been nominat-ed were Misses Floy Brown, Lois Dell, Dorothy Swain, and Ruth Hie-bert.

Besides the election of the all

who will be given a picture in the college annual, as will Miss Hovis likewise be given. THe Seniors chose Miss Melda Mohler: Junior Miss Naomi Witmore and the Sophomores Miss Dorothy Linholm.

The election of class queens was day to the quadrangle sale which gave each class. who purchased 100% of annuals the privilege of elect-ing a girl as queen.

It was eight years ago that this man received a place on the McPher-son faculty. His first forensic adven-tures were among the students of the academy. He proved his ability as a debate coach when he gave the academy three championships in his four years of coaching. A man of this caliber was destined to rise to a higher position and in 1921 he was offered the position to coach the col-lege debate and oratory. The first

year McPherson tied the division, the neat year the debaters won the state, again in 1926 and for the two years following McPherson debaters have captured the state title. Hess coached teams have won forty-two out of a total of fifty-eight debates. The record in oratory is just as enviable. Last year the McPherson or-ator was awarded first in both the Anti-Tobacco and Peace Oratory con-tests. In the years previous to 1928, our orators have three first prizes, four second prizes and one third and

one fourth prize.

LADY FACULTY MEMBERS

MAKE-MERRY FRIDAY EVE

In true make-believe fashion the women of the faculty laid aside pro-fessional dignity and severity at a

six o'clock dinner party at the H. J.

Harnly home last Friday evening and each appeared in the character of another member of the party.

Miss Colline, of the art depart-ment was impersonated by the otherwise business-like Miss Lamb. The domesticity of Miss Byerly was shown in the actions and speech of Miss Lingenfelter who was in turn impersonated by Mrs. Tate. Coils of bronze tinted hair not unlike Miss Heckethorn's were Miss Lehman's crowning glory and Miss Heckethorn. resplendent in an evening dress and silver slippers, portrayed Miss Lamb. Careful character study was evident in Miss McGaffey's portrayal of Miss

Lehman, and Miss Brown acted and

was dressed like Miss McGaffey,

while Miss Colline same as Miss

Brown. Miss Byerly showed her

power of vocalization and conducting

as she impersonated Mrs. Tate.

A color scheme of red and white

was carried out in the menu and

decorations. A red and white valen-

tine doll made the centerpiece and

red and white sweet peas were used

in decorating the various rooms.

A three-course dinner consisting

of fruit cocktail, ham loaf, mashed

potatoes, gravy, green beans, cuddled

apples, fruit salad, ice cream, cake,

coffee, bonbons, and divinity was

served, after which each one con-

tributed to the program by giving a

stunt in character.

Sports BULLDOGS DEFEAT COYOTES STANDING OF INTRAMURAL For the purpose of arousing inter-est in the Estes Park conference this spring and also to investigate the progress the Y. W. C. A. is making on this campus. Miss Frances Dorothy and Ralph Turner spent the week end at their home near Hope. Miss Thelma Budge spent the week end at her home near St. John.

The McPherson College basketeers defeated the Kansas Wesleyan cage-men 19-16 at Salina last Thursday evening in their last away-from-home conference game. The Bulldogs seemed to be still haunted by the same charm that tried to hold them down against St. Mary's the night before

stride which should have brought the man overwhelming victory in

face of the opposition the Coyotes offered. Those witnessing the game declare that our fellows were decidedly "off”.

Scoring for the Methodists was started in the first minute of play the

Jilka, followed by a point for the Bulldogs after Crumpacker had been given a free throw. Soon Miller and Nonken each added a point to the Bulldog score by charity baskets. After a number of miserably poor

ken dribbled through to his goal but was fouled while shooting. He made counters of both free throws granted him. Mulkey got a point as a result of Crumpacker's foul and Hayden got a set-up followed by a long shot from Mulkey. The score was 7-5 against us then Nonken made good another charily toss and soon the Bulldog captain dribbled through the Coyote defense that had pre-viously been pulled to pieces by the pussising Bulldog offense and got a nice set-up giving the Bulldogs an 8-7 advantage which they held until after the half period.

At the beginning of the second period Miller got a free throw that was good for one point. Then Stade

connected with the hoop tying the score at 9. Nonken got through for another set-up of our favorite Non-kon kind and Miller found the bas-ket for the first time from a distance making the score 13-9 for us. Hay-den and Miller each got a basket and Nonken a free throw making the score 16-11 still in our favor ten minutes before the end of the strug-gle. A basket from Miller widened the Bulldog lead. A free throw by Nonken and one by Hayden and a nice long shot by Miller left the score 19-12 to our good where it remained until the last couple min-utes of play, Holloway was substitut-ed for Miller and before he got into the game well Stade sank a neat pair of field goals and started what seemed to threaten a Coyote rally a minute and a fraction before the end of the game, reducing the Bulldog lead to three points. Crumpacker and Rump look turns at charity tosses but both failed to increase the score and the final gun went off with the Canines threatening to score.

Captain Nonken of the McPherson team with ten points to his credit was high point man of the game and was by far the outstanding player of the evening. Out of seven trys Non-ken made six points from free throws, Miller, experiencing another "off-day" had but eight points to his

credit. Stade led the Wesleyans with six points.

The line-ups:

BULLDOGS CINCH THE CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP

The McPherson College basketball team, champions of the 1928 season has cinched the title for 1929. The title was assured the Bulldogs when Baker beat Bethany at Baldwin last Saturday night 38-21 after the Swede team had been worn greatly by the Ottawa team which they defeated by a one point margin the evening before. Bethany hits been beaten three times while M.C. has lost but one game and even if the Swedes should win the clash of March 4 the title will still belong to the Bulldogs for having won the moat games. McPherson will be one game ahead of its nearest competitor regardless of what happens the remainder of the conference

ESTES PARK PROGRAMS

IN Y. W. C. A. MONDAY

Perry, regional secretary of the Y.

W. C. A. made a brief visit to the McPherson college campus last week.

Arriving Monday noon and departing Tuesday evening. Miss Perry's stay was no less inspirational because of its brevity.

A special meeting of the Y W. cabinet girls was called Monday af-ternoon at which Miss Perry discussed the Christian World Education conference to be held at Wichita this week end. The remainder of the time she spent in asking vital questions appertaining to and discussing problems concerning the plant of a Young Women's Christian Association on a college campus.

Such questions as: What are the Christians on the campus doing? Are their lives outstanding and con-vincing enough to be attractive to those who are not Christian? Why is it hard to live a creative life? challenged the mind of the girls and caused them to do some real thinking.

Prayer life was also approached and discussed in the group: its importance, whether it is a necessity and whether is has a successful substitute.*

On Tuesday afternoon during the period at which the members of the association convene for their weekly meeting. Miss Perry gave a talk our "Industrial Relations" a vital problem with which she has come into direct contact. She related actual ex-periences and pointed out vivid details in the lives of factory girls whom she has known and who can scarcely eke out a scanty living on wages they receive for jobs which are hard to bet.

A number of girls interviewed Miss Perry after the meeting on the industrial problem and many showed a genuine interest in the work which is being done by young women of the association to help the situation.

At four-thirty o'clock she met a

group of students, both men and women, who are interested in the Estes conference. An informal discussion period followed her telling the plans of this year's conference— its speakers, theme, location, and other matters of interest. Several McPherson students are planning to attend the conference.

A luncheon consisting of hot chocolate and wafers was served to those present, and Miss Perry de-part at five-thirty o'clock to continue her visit at other colleges in
