Forty-seven pies were the chief center of attraction for some time in the entertainment hall on the fourth floor of the science building last Friday night.

Pie socials may be old-fashioned, but the one sponsored by the two athletic organizations of the college, the M club mid the Women's Athletic Association, was from all appearances a success.

By eight o'clock the seating capa-city of the room was filled and sev-eral late-comers had to stand during the evening's program.

A quartette of vaudeville actors— Guy Hayes, Delbert Kelly, Milton Early, and Harold Fike, began the entertainment by exhibiting their various talents and skills. According to many, the facility which this company of players displayed in making their debut and in leaving the stage was perhaps their greatest accomplishment.

A grand opera number “Romeo and Juliet" was rendered (?) the Misses Ruth Bish. Edna Hoover, Ada Stutzman, Margaret Devibiss, Hazel Falls, and Ruth Blickenstaff. It was particularly curious that these feminine actors had a masculine re-semblance of Romeo as they faced us and bore the likeness of Jul-iet upon turning to the east.

The reading "Au Encounter With An Interviewer," by Mark Twain was given by Miss Mildred Swenson.

The program was then turned over to Sam Kurtz, famous pie auctioneer of former M. C, fame, who enlisted his persuasive powers in coaxing the sheckles from the masculine members of the crowd in return for a pie— and its owner.

In this manner forty-seven pies of every variety—single, double, blackberry, banana cream, cherry, custard, cocoanut. and caramel--reached their ultimate destiny.

The net proceeds of the evening were seventy dollars, which were divided equally between the two organizations which sponsored the function.

MISS DELLA HOERNER

ADDRESSES ¥. W. C. A

"Health" as an essential to a well-balanced life, was the theme of the Y. W. C. A. progem last Tuesday morning.

After reading that part of the second chapter of Luke which Includes the verse, "And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man” Miss Irene Gibson, the leader, introduced as the speaker of the morning Miss Delia Hoerner, one of the supervisor nurses at the McPherson hospital.

Miss Hoerner read a paper on physical health as it is related to social and intellectual health. She stressed especially the necessity or clear, cheerful thinking and of regular eating habits. Bodily com-fort is essential to clear thinking and social success. and bodily is the direct outcome of healthful living-

ART EXHIBIT COMING

Recognising the educational advantage to be derived from seeing good art, the college has arranged with the Elson Art Publication Co., Inc., of Belmont. Mass, for an art exhibition of two hundred pieces to be held here January 30-February 1.

This collection, consisting in a large part of carbon photographs, photogravures, and prints in full color, mado directly from the original masterpieces, is selected by expert artists.

The exhibit should be of interest to all students, because such things create a refining influence and an appreciation for art. Picture study opens the eyes to beauty which an artist's trained eye perceives, while

STUDENT COUNCIL MEETS

At the regular meeting of the stident council last Wednesday eve-ning at 7 o’clock. It was decided that the council should sponsor an all-school Christmas Leap Year party. A committee from the student council is now making definite plans for the affair which will likely be given the second week end in December.

Tho council also voted to have Prof. H. H. Nininger give another lecture, which will be a continua-tion of the first account of the trip of the McPherson College Natural History Trek. It will be given in the chapel sometime In the early part of next semester.

A financial report of the student council was made by Harold Fasnacht, treasurer. A similar report of the Spectator was given by Ralph

At last the Republicans have won distinction and covered themselves with glory. Hoover has done an excellent imitation of King Arthur and has galiantly gone out into the fast-nesses of the election polls and fero-ciously overwhelmed the dragon Al Smith. The dragon sent congratulations to Hoover after midnight, but that was only to try to save his rapidly vanishing popularity, it was just a last grandiloquent gesture.

In all the colleges this great and tremendous question had the floor above football, exams, and the latest party. For once on our own campus, college shieks forgot their studied nonchalance, and in the ex-citement of the election, madly rushed about ruffling up the patent leather effect, with the balloon trousers flopping insanely in the wind, yelling. "Hurrah for Hoover down with Smith." All the excla-mations were enhanced by the ex-cited gestulations of cigarette holders—on the outside of the campus gates however. The college "she-bas“ dabbed on lipstick, probably

DEAN MOHLER SPEAKS

IN Y. M. TUESDAY

Dean R. E, Mohler spoke on the subject, "Are High Grades and Religion Worthwhile for the College Man?" before the Young Men’s Christian Association last Tuesday. The Dean took up both the positive and negative issues involved in this subject. He spoke for twenty minutes on this broad subject, but when his time was up he had said the vital facts involved. An unusually large number of boys attended the last meeting, which is proof that the efforts of the Y. M. are bringing results. Paul Bowers led the devo-tions.

High prudes are worthwhile, according to Dean Mohler and they should be a goal toward which every college stndent should strive. In the attainment of high grades the student should not become a habitual "book-worm." for there are many other things in the college curriculum that are just no important as the honor roll. If high grades are acquired with the sacrifice of the physical body, or of social activities, or by Sunday study the Dean would question their value to the student.

Dean Mohler reports that he re-ceives one to the questionnaires each day from educational institu-tions, business men, and society in general inquiring into the character and grades of some former student. In every case the religious life of the student is asked. He must be honest with the inquirer and also with the former student, and often he has found himself in some embar-rassing situations.

Religion Worthwhile?" Any thing that makes a man a good citizen, a moral, leader, a devotional being and a lover of the richer life is worthwhile to society. "What kind of a religion have you?" "Are you afraid to face the religious life squarely?"

Oliver L. (Handing in copy for paper)—-"Here you are, Doris, Glance over this and see if its not a rare bit of art."

Doris, (giving it hasty once over) —"Yes, rare is the word. It's certainly not well done."

for the first time disregarding just how it got on, and between times or powdering noses, inquired coquet-tishly "OOOO-Oh Is Hoover really ahead? How really cute of him." "I do hope that nasty old Mr. Smith

Smith did not really seem to be such a popular man about this campus, or else he had any adherents then they had the grind sense to hold their respective tongues. Even the president seemed actually wrought up enough to lose his eternal calm and vigorously protest against Smith. The one Democrat on the faculty looked rather "de trop" when his candidate received the wholehearted opprobrium of the Bladent body collectively. The veteran of our institution who never loses his youth, became excited as was no-ticed by the quicking of his German brogue.

The cooks even were Hooverltes, because on the election evening they served a regular Hoover din-ner— including cornbread and the

The aclors were chosen from the Thespian Club and from the advanced dramatic art class. They have been working hard to perfect their interpretation and presenta-tion of these plays.

Miss Margaret Heckthorn, Mc-Pherson College librarian, went to Hutchinson Nov. 8, where she attended the Round Table for Librar-ian held in connection with the annual Teachers' Meeting.

Thirty-eight librarians from colleges and high-schools of the state took part in the open forums and listened to addresses from leaders in this field. Among others Mrs. Elsie Howard Pine of the K. S. T. C,. Emporia, gave an especially in-teresting talk, and Miss Hazel Howes of Wichita told the librarians of the great amount of valuable material which could be secured free of charge.

A luncheon was given for the librarians at the Rorabaugh-Wiley Tea-room Thursday noon, Nov. 8.

The Thespian actors—everyone old college standby of syrup. In the confusion of all the excitement everyone forgot his favorite occupation or kicking about the "eats." And when the election could take the place of that then, indeed. It must have been a very foremost subject in the minds of everyone.

sleepy-eyes were to be seen. Especcially the faculty were noticeable in this respect. Our lone Democrat wore a woe-begone expression on his face. It is surmised that every radio ou the hill had a whole-hearted college audience, only boys, but the girls were there in spirit even if rather strenuous rules forbade their-being out that late in body.

BULLDOGS LOSE GAME TO WESLEYAN COYOTES

BULLDOGS 6, COYOTES 21

Can the Bulldogs play fool ball? We’ll say they can. This fact was proved Friday afternoon in the Wes-leyan Coyote McPherson Bulldog game. Although McPherson had the small end of a 21 to 6 score our men's fighting prestigw was not injured in the least. Friday's game was undoubtedly tea most thrilling of any game this year. But wait until the Swede game.

The game started with Windmill kicking off for the Bu11dogs. The first quarter consisted of large gains for the McPherson men. The Coyotes failed to stop the Bulldog charges. Nonken and Haws made repeated gains through the line. A series of passes and the Bulldogs crossed the Coyotes goal line but failed to kick the goal. This was the second time in two years that the Bulldogs have crossed the Methodists' line.

The Freshman sprinter, Hock-strasser, played a brilliant game of football. He made repeated gains at the receiving end of passes. He showed great skill in outdistancing his opponents and proved himself well worthy of honorahle mention.

Nonken played another of his spectactular game. Being out of last week's game on account of in-juries, he came back on the field with new and spirited vigor. He

Wells, the dashing quarter back, played but little of the game on ac-count of leg injuries.

The Coyotes played a wonderful game. Their outstanding man was Perkins, colored, left half. He showed great skill and speed in cov-ering territory.

Forward passes attempted Kansas Wesleyan, 8, completed 3 for 13 yards, McPherson attempted 21, completed 14 for 149 yards. Fum-bles Kansas Wesleyan 5, recovered 3; McPherson 1, recovered 3. Penalties Kansas Wesleyan 4 for 35 yards; McPherson, 3 for 30 yards. Touchdowns--McPherson, Hawes 1; Kansas Wesleyn, Perkins. 2. Jilka, 1. Points after touchdown, Wesleyn, Baxter

Officials--referee, Beam, Washburn; Headlinesman, Hearn. Am-herst: Umpire. Spearn, K. K. A. C.

Ten years ago when that aw-ful strife that rent France in pieces came to an and, the American people celebrated loudly. True, they should have been happy to think that the horrible work was ended. However, drunk with the high pitch of feeling to which they had been brought by those leaders who keenly understood the application of mob psychology. they celebrated because they thought a great work had been done.

The space of time that has intervened. during which the people have opened their eyes and the haze has cleared away, has made considerable difference in the general conception of that great European affair where-In the nations of the world exercised the use of the greatest developments of science that each had produced to satisfy animalistic and savage impulses.

The continued national strifes, the economic upheaval, and the crime wave that have followed the Great War have made the safety of democracy for which the men in khaki believed they were shouldering arms somewhat questionable. The glory that surrounded the young men as they returned from battlefields and army camps failed to secure them positions in the rank of society they had left. That men who left their homes in bouyant health and re-turned weak and wounded or nerv-ous, shel-shocked individuals became disheartened is no wonder. Among the business concerns that profited by the erase of mankind of the second decade of this century the cigarette factories. Along with their profit came a habit for which future generations will pay.

So one might write on, citing the evils of the war who canon echoes have scarcely faded away. Their evidence should be a challenge to the students of to-day who will be the nation's leaders of tomorrow, to become so imbued with the spirit that cries. "Peace! Peace!'' that action will swell. If the same emotions will result. If the same emotions that were so deeply stirred ten years ago which enabled people to gladly send their wealth and their most ef-ficient manhood to destruction could be awakened to the imperativeness of peace, one big step would have been made.

Peace cannot be attained by the realisation of its need alone. It re-quires careful thought and study on the means for its attainment. It

light of history based upon the best known ethical principles will be required of the students of today, if another dearth of humanity, the possibilities of which no one has the corage to visualize, is to be avoided.

There is yet a chance for the Bulldog football team to emerge from a successful season, for they have yet to battle the light haired neighbors.

In recent years the neighbors and the Canines have divided victories during the football season about evenly. In justice to the Northerners, be it said, they have won according to rules, while Bulldog supporters have been more or less irregular.

Two years ago every Bulldog shouldered a club and marched out for guard duty. He slept promis-cously except when on duty. He studied only the fine arts or daubing and of self defense. And on that certain eventual evening every Bulldog sent up his howl to Destiny that his fellows might succeed in their decorative mission. In justice to the Bulldogs, it should be record-ed, attempts were also made to beautify their campus.

Our homage to the dead, and to the living.

Our toast in which heart break

This autumn, we look longingly behind us,

And know that they who sacri-ficed and bled—

Are reaching from the shadows to remind us

That peaceful years, please God, shall be ahead!

—Margaret E. Sangster in

The Bulldog artists succeeded. Furthermore, captives were taken and casualties were great in the ranks of the enemy. The skirmish had been won, but alas victory favored the Vikings.

A year later the enemy tried to dispense with the skirmish. The Bulldogs were confident for they had the dope, but while in the northern regions it was accidentally spilled on the enemy campus. The enemy took one whiff, trailed the Dogs to their kennel, and emerged victors from the ensuing battle.

Those responsible for tipping the bucket over might have been more careful, but they should not bear the entire blame for they were but representatives of the pack. Many loyal Bulldogs congratulated them upon their success. Secretly the writer was a bit elated.

But are the Bulldogs to always win the skirmishes and lose the bat-tles? No! The Bulldogs have in-telligence. When they see that taunting and barking at the Swede does not injure him but only arouse him and makes him fight harder, they will cease to antagonise hhn. When the Dogs realise that their trainer considers the skirmish of last year a contributing factor to the defeat, they will certainly abolish it. Any Bulldog who knowingly works for the defeat of his team must be more hound than Bulldog.

So loyal Bulldogs, save that growl until the real battle starts and help make this a successful football sea-

ARMISTICE

This autumn, just before Thanksgiv-ing hurries

To fill our hearts with plenty and with prayer,

Before the brown leaves fly, in little flurries,

Like broken butterflies upon the air.

This year when summer passes gently sighing.

And winter, silient, stands a bit away,

There comes a hush, unborn and yet undying—-

Our armistice—-our trude with yesterday!

(Oh, Belleau Wood—before the snow starts falling,

Do you remember hours of grim desire?

And Chateau Thierry, past the north wind's calling.

Do yon look back on blood and tears and fire?

The Argonne forest, red with front tinged glory.

Was redder with another braver stain

Ten years ago—when nations wrote a story

In letters that were made of tears and pain!)

So that if in the near future, Someone should question concerning

Monday Miss Lehman advised the student lo lose no time in perfecting certain principles or standards of conduct known as a philosophy of life.

Such a philosophy of life will bring happiness, for it saves time and energy in making decisions, it gives one a working basis in the crisis, and it gives poise to the individual.

A philosophy of life may be put to immediate use in deciding the course of action in those cues:

1. Choosing activities (quality and quantity).

2. Choice of amusements. 3. Course of action during hard-ship or suffering. (shall it be enriching or embittering?)

4. Living sincerely.

5. Opportunities for service.

6. Choice of companions.

7. The place of religion in the individual's life

able, especially when it takes the form of abuse of the officials, was a thought presented Wednesday by Professor Boone when he spoke on "Good Sportsmanship".

Good sportsmanship concerns the individual fan, the group of specta-tors, and the members of the team.

The individual should be loyal to his team. Betting is a disgraceful accompaniment of some games.

The group should root as a group, though never cheering an opponent’s injury or penalty. Treat the opposing school as a friend.

The player owes his team coop-eration his best effort to keep elligi-ble, and honesty at all times.

Come early, the chapel will be full Monday night.

The “Spirit of McPherson" was united into the bonds of holy matrimony with "Miss Victory. ” This un-usual ceremony was held in the McPherson College Chapel last Thursday morning. The entire school was inivted to the wedding, and every true Bulldog was there in his colors.

The wedding was a surprise. "Peg" Saylor, Queen of the Ivories was on hand to play the march, "Here Comes the Bride—”, and in response to the naughty music the Rev. Keith Hayes led the procession down to the altar. Miss Ruth Bish, the sweet blushing bride, came in on the arm of her weeping father, Leland Lindell. The flower girl was the little Miss Sylvia Flory. The ring bearer was Miss Mildred Doyle, a dainty little girl of eight years. The brides' maids who were all deemed in their Sunday dresses were Misses Floy Brown, Lena Beaver and Clara Graebner.

Jack Lehman obtained license through some under-handed method to become the bride-groom. The bride-groom selected one of the noted Bulldog athletes, Milton Early, for best man. Ernest Watkins and Donald Trostle also assisted the bride-groom in these dark moments.

The Rev. Hayes performed the ceremony, and the party were about ready to recessional when two jealous suitors came running down the aisle to carry away the bride. It. was a thrilling moment for everyone. But "Miss Victory" would not leave her dear M. C.

And the above is a detailed report of the happenings at the last pep-meeting, Thursday, November 8.

About seventy-live alumni and former students of McPherson College who were attending the state teachers' meeting at Hutchinson last week end were present at the three-course dinner which was

Universalist church of Hutchinson The local arrangements for the dinner were made by W. F. Luckett of the class of '26 and the ticket sale was under the direction of Orville Pole, '23. S. B. Kurtz, '26, was

toastmaster and had charge of the program, which was composed of stories and stunts by people at the dinner. Thera were two formal numbers, Miss Florence Kline, '27, sang “Trees. ” by Joyce Kilmer, and V. F. Schwalm gave an address. In his talk Dr. Schwalm talked of the changes in faculty and material equipment which have been in Mc-Pherson College and also of the im-mediate problems which are facing the college and of the alumni's part in solving these problems.

President Schwalm made an address to the round table of high school councilors on Thursday afternoon. His subject was “The Duty of the Councilors as the Public Sees It. ”

Prof. J. A. Blair attended the teacher's meeting at Hayes where he appeared on the program.

Among the members of the college faculty who attended the meet-

Of Interest to McPherson College people is the marriage of Miss Maud Esther Hens, of Ness City to Ross Barton also of Ness City. The bride is the sister of Mrs. J. H. Fries of this city and until recently has been employed in the McPherson County Hospital. Mr. Barton is a cousin of Frank Barton, a former McPherson student.

The ring ceremony was performed by Rev. Richards at the Brethren Church Nov. 7 at 3: 00 o'clock. The bride, gowned in bine transparent velvet, was attended by Miss Mary Cooley. Mr. Byal of Ness City, was best man, and Mildred Fries was flower girl. The traditional Loregrin Wedding March was played by Prof. Doll, violin, and Miss Fern Lingenfelter at the piano. Mrs. Fries sang "Oh Promise Me. " The altar was appropriately and beautifully decorated with baskets of autumn flowers and ferns.

After the ceremony Mrs. Will Heaston was hostess at a reception given in the church basement. Misses Lola Dell, Margaret Devilbliss, Helen Kline, Sylvia Edgecomb, Jess-ie Churchill, and Velma Wine assisted in serving refreshments of icecream, coffee and wedding cake.

McPherson College students who hold offices in the central districts are: Jessie Churchill, treasurer; Velma Wine, prayermeeting superin-tendent; Lila Fields, quiet-hour superintendent, and Floyd Barngrover, college superintendent. Those who attended the convention from Mc-Pherson were Jessie Churchill, Vel ma Wine, Eunice Sargent, D. L. Miller, Verle Omart, and Darrel Dutton.

Two of the mostt prominent speak-ers of the convention were Karl Duke, state president and Harold Lovett, state secretary.

New Book on Peace "Between War and Peace; a handbook for peace” by Boeckel should prove of interest to orators and students interested in world problems. In this book Mrs. Boeckel gives first a survey of some of the methods now being used for cultivating international understand ing and good will in American schools and colleges and by international educational organizations. She then gives an account of what the church, the women, the commercial organizations, labor, the farmers, the war veterans, and the young people are doing to promote peace, and presents a study of various influences for and against world peace-- League of Nations, reduction of arguments, pacifism, imperialism, immigration policies, war debts, etc. She concludes with a chapter entitled "What You Can Do for Peace." Altogether the book offers a great deal of information not available in any other single vol-ume, as well as many practical sug-gestions.
