The Parade Was Formerly To Be Staged Oct. 12, But
Postponed 'Til Last Friday
A Great Deal of 'Pep' And ‘Spirit
Are Shown By All.
For sometime it has been custom-ary for the students of McPherson College to form a snake parade 0n
the evening before the first home game and create pep and enthusiasm for the coming game by making themselves seen and heard on the
main street of McPherson.
Because of Prof. H. H. Nininger's picture on the evening of Oct. 12 it was impossible to have the parade before the first home game so the
event was planned for last Friday preceding the game with St.. Bene-
dicts.
Dormitory students and those liv-
ing on the hills met in front of the administration building at 7:30 P. M and moved in a body down Euc-lid avenue. At the filling station one block east of Main street some town students joined the crowd. A single line was formed and went down Main running, cheering and singing. It is reported that never before has the line been so long and
never before has there been so much pep and enthusiasm shown.
The long, swerving line went through the Smoke House and out, winding itself into a solid group at he intersection of Main street and Kansas avenue. There a demonstration of pep was given and again the solid mass of students became a long line which circled through the Puritan Cafe and Hultquist's Book Store and stopped for another pep meeting at the intersection. Next the line was taken through Hub-bell's Drug Store and , down to Walker's Studio where pictures were taken to be used in this year's Quad-
During the course of the evening group in front of Duckwall’s store was displaying its pep and the man-ager of the store presented each of the paraders with an all-day suckcr. The proprietor of the Tour-ney Theater admitted them to the nine o’clock show. According to those who paraded, if the pep shown

Did you know that 5,576 hours of work are given free by the Quadrangle staff In producing a year book? This figure may appear ab-surd to the casual observer, but it seems entirely too low from the standpoint of those who contribute the work. In the ordinary wage scale this is a gift of $2,838 to the
student body or about $7 per book
The merchants advertising in the Quadrangle pay $2 toward every book published. This brings the
free contributions to $9 per annual.
The sale price of per book only partially defrays the cost of publication. When a student signs up for a Quadrangle, he already has two-thirds of the cost paid for him. A book with a cash value of $13 If the Quadrangle was published by a commercial concern where a profit was expected the cost could be no
less than $25 or $30.

Saturday evening forty members of the sophomore class ventured in-to the forbidden territory of the "Terrible Swedes" to picnic. The picnic was not only a success but the "Swedes" failed to jar them loose from their picnic grounds.

time nor tide waits for no man was amply illustrated by the fact that the gun sounded a half a minute too soon for a Bulldog touchdown The thing for the McPherson elev-en and the McPherson student body to do is to push a whole lot harder and push all the time. It takes the push of perseverance and determina-tion to win anything. This is true in no less measure in football
More is necessary than eleven men pushing that ball down the gridiron Behind a team there must be a stu-dent body that is one hundred per cent pushing for the team.
Just because McPherson football was in the slump last year and be-cause her victories have not out-weighed her losses this season is no
sign that things have to remain so. It is evident that the might and brawn are on the field; it is up to the student body to put confidence, pep, and determination into the at-mosphere and bring things to the top and keep pushing them over. First, make yourself believe that Bulldog Victories are possible and then convince every one else. When that is accomplished, they will be-come realities.

The Catholics were especially sluggish in carrying the ball through the line. They were taken time and again for a loss, when Bulldogs went through the line.
The last quarter was St. Benedicts best quarter as it showed some well organized passing. In this period McPherson ends were sucked in on end runs for good gain and a pass from McDonald to Furst resulted in the last touchdown of the game, making the score 12 to 0.

A mass meeting to arouse pep and enthusiasm for the game with St. Benedict's was held in the chapel Thursday morning.
The program consisted of a stunt, yells, songs and several num-bers by the college band.
The stunt opened with a group of students on the platform yelling in an indifferent, haphazard fashion.
Harold "Berries" Crist, as a doc-tor entered upon the scene and sprayed the group with his latest chemical discovery "pep." With the application of this chemical the group miraculously livened and the

The rooms were decorated sug-gestively of the season. The enter-tainment of the evening consisted of a number of games in which every

A number of college students were among the guests and everyone reported having spent an enjoyable
evening.
