H. S. TOURNEY MAY 9

Goodbye, students and faculty, we, the seniors are gone for the day to enjoy ourselves with the splendors of nature and to live our lives over a-gain as freshmen—that is, act as freshmen.

Early this morning the seniors left the campus under cover of darkness to parts unknown to others. No clew was left that might have given one an idea of where they might have hidden—some have even suggested that they might have motored to Wichita and taken air transports for a days enjoyment at Colorado Springs. Others have reverse ideas of remote parts of Kansas that they might have ventured to explore. Others are still wondering if the seniors are really gone at all.

Last night as the seniors were making final preparations for an early morning get-away numerous members of the class were busily engaged in the art of saying good night and good bye to their tender sweethearts of other classes who would be compelled to remain at home. It was pitiful. Secrets were kept and this august group of students adjourned from the campus without anyone, student or faculty member, even knowing that they had any intentions of leaving—even if there were more women in the class than men. Here’s to the women.

Class activities were dropped, plays were postponed, and the faculty rearranged their schedules to fit the universally felt "adios" of the seniors. So long, students and faculty, we'll be seein' you tonight—maybe.

Tate, who is directing the production. The chorus and cast are now holding three rehearsals weekly, and are getting the music, dialogue, and actions well memorized-

In addition to unusual scenery and lighting effects the opera will feature some elaborate costuming. The en-tire second act consists of a brilliant masquerade ball in which the entire chorus will take part.

Yoder And Bitikofer To Represent Seniors In Student Council

Tues., May 5—Gilbert Myers, junior, was elected president of the sen-tor class of 1932 at a Junior class meeting today noon, Mr. Myers is a graduate of the Windom high school, but is now living with his parents in McPherson. He will not take over the reins of his new office until next fall.

The many-times-postponed track and field meet with McPherson's ac-cient rivals, the Bethany "Swedes," is finally to bo held. A dual meet with the Lindsborg crew has been scheduled by Coach Melvin Binford for Friday afternoon on the McPherson field and track. Both teams are fairly evenly matched, however, the Bulldogs hold a slight edge over their opponents. This meet should prove one of the most interesting track events of the season.

Buildings and a large number of students do not make an educational institution one of highest merit and distinction among the scholastic

of education. Nor does the ar-dent support of the college constituency have so great a part in build-tng a college into the top-most ranks of education. The one and only manner in which a college may recieve great recognition in scholastic circles is to have an outstanding college fac-ulty

McPherson college has on an average of one faculty member to every 10 or 12 students, which is indeed a small percentage. Such a small per cent to the instructor permits and encourages a high degree of instruc-tor that cannot be surpassed by the college that has on the average of one faculty member to every 20 or 24 students. The low percentage gives the student greater opportunities for individual help from the instructors.

Eight members of the McPherson faculty have received either their A. B. or B. S. degrees from McPherson. They have gone on to higher institu-tions for their master's and doctor's degrees and then returned to their alma mater—the "School of Qual-

ity."        

Next year six members of the Col-lege faculty will have their doctor's degree, and will be qualified to head their respective departments for which they have trained. This past year there has been only five men on the faculty with their Ph. D. degrees which goes to show that the admin-istration is making all efforts in its power to enchance the quality of the faculty.

The McPherson facility is out-standing in many ways, and merits

the approval and appreciation from the student body as a whole. The faculty is in itself a drawing card to the college, and students that are in search of a college in which to re-cieve their training cannot let the opportunity falter of giving McPher-son due consideration. Here is a group of Christian instructors that have not only the institution at heart but also every student that is en-deavoring to build for himself a char-acter of true worth to the world. Here is a faculty that is ever willing to make sacrifices that the students might receive opportunities that they otherwise would not recieve if they had not benefited from the acts of others.

McPherson's faculty is truly one of "quality". It is playing its mighty part in building a "Greater McPherson College,” for the benefit of every student in the constituency. It is doing its part in making McPherson college a "School of Quality.''

All seniors are being strongly urged by the business manager of The Spectator for 1931-32, Lloyd Larsen, to secure their subscriptions for the paper as soon as possible. Sophomores who might teach should make arrangements now that they might not miss an issue of the paper. A special price of $1 is now being made for the year's subscription, which may either be paid for now or a pledge signed, secured from the now busi-ness manager, to be paid the first of September.

Through the Spectator is the excellent and the only way that one might keep in constant touch with his alma mater. News of athletics, students, alumni, and faculty are always up to

date.

PROF. A. J. BLAIR TALKS ON RELIGION IN CHAPEL

Tells Of Child Drawing Picture Of God

Fri.. May 1 Modernism, stressed in both toasts and decorations, fea-tured the annual Junior and Senior banquet held tonight on the Roof Garden of the Hotel Hawley. The members of the two upper classes, the deans, and the sponsors of the two clauses, and the president of the College, made up an attendance of eighty guests.

With the spacious hall of the roof garden as a setting the tables were arranged in a large U, decorated in three colors, red, green, and yellow, and with the modernistic theme carried out throughout the decorations. As favors paper dolls adorned the tables, with the place cards being in the hands of the dolls. Clusters of flowers and floral decorations.

added to the beauty of the tables.

A four course dinner was served by twelve members of the sophomore class. During the service an orchestra, consisting of Una King, Margaret Shelley, Pauline Dell, Mattie Shay, and Charles Smith, played popular music. The first course consisted of grape fruit punch. The dinner course followed with fried chicken, new potatoes, asparagus, ripe olives, rolls, and lemon ice. The third course was molded vegetable salad and Saratoga flakes. The last course consisted of brick ice cream in colored angles of red, yellow, and green, and cake

and coffee.

RUGH TELLS OF HIS

RELIGIOUS BELIEFS

Speaker Asserts Religion Is A Vital Thing For A True Life

Mon., May 4-- Prof. J. A. Blair told of the small boy who asked his mother what God looked like, in chapel this morning. His mother told him not to think about it, because no one knew what God looked like. But the child drew a picture of God.

Front this incident Professor Blair mentioned three tendencies of human beings. 1. The tendency of children

to ask questions. 2. Tendency of par-ents to discourage the questioning of children, 3. The tendency of people to endeavor to answer their own ques-

tions.

Wed.. April 29-- Dr. Arthur Rugh, traveling Y. M. C. A. secretary, spoke in chapel this morning on “challeng-ing religious beliefs." This was the last of his series of messages given on Monday, Tuesday and today.

Dr. Rugh stated that the present generation has not accepted many of

the literal interpretations of the Bible, God, and Jesus, prayer, heaven and hell. In rejecting the older literal beliefs, however, they have failed to develop a new challenging belief. These he proceeded to offer the stu-dents in a clear-cut and forceful manner. That religion is a big and vital thing which permeates the whole of life was the crux of his entire speech.

EVANGELIST SPEAKS

103 PIECES REPAIRED

Dr. Bassett, Baptist Church Talks On Religion In Chapel

Fifth Year Department Has Sponsored Repair Week

Fri., May 1 —Dr. Basset, evange-list and cartoonist appearing at the Baptist church this week, gave an illustrated lecture in chapel this morning. The evangelist emphasi-zed the fact that a successful life is fourfold; in that he must have backbone, a strong body, use his brain and take Jesus Christ into his heart and life. The lecture was brought to a climax by a chalk talk illustrating "Let the Lower Lights Be Burning."

Preceding Dr. Bassett's lecture

Mrs. Anna. C. Tate sang the favorite song. "I Love Life "

Prof. G. N. Booine and the mem-bers of the woodworking classes re-paired more than 100 pieces of furniture during the furniture repair week. Pieces of furniture belonging to this college, students, and faculty members, were mended. The furniture repairing serves a dual purpose in affording oppurtunity to the stu-dents in repair work, and in extend-ing the life of useful furniture. This is the fifth annual furniture repair

week.

SEEN ON THE CAMPUS HEARD IN THE DORM.

WHERE DO WE GO FORM HERE

We have had an unusually strong array of talented speakers brought to the campus of late to stimulate our thinking. They are gone. What are we going to do with their challenges?

Powers Hapgood opened our eyes to labor and world conditions of which we were entirety ignorant. He told us what we might do about it and challenged us to do it. Dan West laid before us the problem at world peace in all its aspects. He dared us to attack it in a positive active way in the crisis which the forces of peace are soon to face. He challenged us to philosophy of life which will give us poise and freedom. Arthur Rugh presented to us the beauty and sacredness of love, romance, and marriage. He stimulated us to an appreciation of purity and beauty. He offered us chal-lenging phases of Christianity and religious belief.

These men have unanimously appealed to our reason as well as to our emotion. They have caused us to think, to desire, to resolve. Shall we not? School is nearly over for this year. Little can now be done, but the summer awaits us when we shall stand as windows to the outside world in many communities. Another year of school awaits many to act on their decisions. Shall we continue in the direction towards which these world visioned men have faced us?—Enthusiastic Scribe.

To The Terrestial Globe —Written by a Miserable Wretch Roll on, thou ball, roll on!

Through pathless realms of space Roll on!

What though I’m in a sorry case? What though I cannot meet my bills? What though I suffer toothache's ill?

What though I swallow countless pills?

Never you mind! Roll on!

Roll on, thou ball, rool on! Through seas of inky air Roll on!

It's true I've got no shirts to wear; It's true my butcher’s bill is due; It's true my prospects all look blue— But don't let that unsettle you!

Never you mind! Roll on! (and it rolls on).

MOTHER

The greatest lover a man ever had was his mother. It is she that has watched over him and guided him in his moves toward development in the early days of his life. She has encouraged him to higher aspirations and substantiated his dreams and visions that they might come true. During sickness she has nursed his body to life that, he might become what she has visioned. When he has been in difficulties she has weathered his storms along with him. A mother is a treasure a man cannot praise too highly, cannot respect too deeply, and who cannot live a true life of sincere endeavors without her love and tender care.

Dear Kindred Spirit: —

I thought I just had to write you about what I saw Friday evening, We were strolling down East Euclid when we saw a car come zipping toward us. We thought there must be something in the air so we just stared until it came right to us and then, what do you suppose we saw? You will think I’m kidding you, but in the rumble seat of that little Ford were two of our sedate faculty ladies having the time of their life until they saw us, but we hope we did not ruin their good time or good repu-tation. We like rumble seats, too.

A COLLEGE EDUCATION IN “TEN EASY LESSONS"

It was stated in this column last week that school teachers, especially men, have no great future before them. What then is the college graduate to do for a livelihood? What is the matter with the current educational institutions of our country? Where is it leading us?

It is not the fault of the college senior that there is nothing else for him to do after he has been graduated than to teach. The youth of today is looking to the fact that theory and fundamental things that afford a substantial basis of education do not form the concept that it should to enable him to continue in life as he did while in school. Theory and a fundamental basis is necessary, but a more specialized training is desired with it, to make developments complete.

It is true that the youth of today is in too big a hurry. They are wanting a college education in "ten easy lessons” and ‘‘by mail,"

Mechanical instruction tends toward mechanical thinking. When one thinks as a robot his field of endeavor is limited by definite boundaries. To limit an education is to limit the worth of an individual to society as a whole. If more time and consideration was taken by students in selecting their courses, and if colleges and universities would offer to a certain degree, more specialized subjects of a vocational nature better results might be realized.

The present system is leading us to believe in a youth that is not satis-fied with the present educational system. One who is not satisfied will not strengthen the motives of self-development. It is correct when it is said that the youth today is arousing questions, bringing about disputes, and us-ing a degree of broadmindedness in settling them. The young man and woman of today is making greater efforts to secure an education that will not only form the basis of self-development but also one that will educate him for specific work. The criticisms are leading to new plans and new systems of education. High institutions of learning are changing their systems to meet the demands of those on the quest of knowledge. To certain degree the “hurry up" policy is being adopted that the brighter student might complete his work sooner than those not so easily adapted to learning and retaining what they have learned. The last ten years will see greater strides in education than we have witnessed in the last ten years.

IT IS SPRING

’Tis spring. .. the blossoms bloom, and birds sing above the paths the lovers trod. The dew drops sweeten the air with a-bowery freshness and starts twinkle in delight through scattered clusters of covered branches. Spring is here and trees speak their cheery welcome of the awakening world. The smiling moon, its shadows stretching through hill and brush to haunt the wandering souls and make light hearts flutter as the humming bird flits from flower to flower. The busy bee is searching glade and glenn for nectors sweet. The butterfly flits on wings of gold and the robins marshall forth to grasp each slinking worm that ventures forth in search of spring.

Ethel Jamison, senior, spoke on "lines", and Clinton Trostle, Junior, followed with a toast on "cubes." "Circles," the subject of Leland Lindell's toast, was followed with “impressions" by Ethel Sherfy, Junior. An illustrated talk by Chris-tine Mohler, senior, accompanied by Helen Eberly, at the piano, depicted the future development of the College in the form of a chalk illustration in modernistic art. The program was closed with a saxaphone solo by Charles Smith.

MODERNISTIC THEME

USED BY THE JUNIORS (Continued from Page One)

Those who have been engineering the deal through the management. for the installation of the horse shoe pits for the purpose of preserving the present beauty of the College campus, have a sense or degree of broadmind-ness that warrants the support and appreciation of the entire student body. May we continue to realize that our campus is something of permanent value and everlasting beauty to the coming generation.

NEW PIT TO PRESERVE BEAUTY OF CAMPUS

A marked need upon the McPher-son campus for some time has been the necessity of horse shoe pitching pits, to preserve the beauty of the campus in such a manner as to permit, this spring sport to be enjoyed to the fullest extent.

It is understood that a few stu-dents, thoughtful of the future beauty of the campus, have negotiated terms with the College management for the purchase of two by four sand retainers for the pit, and enough sand to fill each pit.
