The widow protects a stranger who she learns is the son of her mortal en-emy, deserted from the army.
She plans his punishment, but fin-ally realized that the basis of want is unreasoning hate, and she would only be carrying the principle further in killing an innocent man, so she gives him her protection instead.

The following are the leading roles in the cast:
Mary Ann Courtney, a daughter of the Sunny South Nada Mae Ritz

Herbert, Bill, and Ted. Just home from college Harvey Shank. Norris Nelson. Roy Digs
Mr Courtney and his daughter, returning from New York, bring along a guest, Horace Ferguson. He comes ostensibly to do some hunting, having a reputation as a great marksman, but really to acquire the valuable jade ear of a voo-doo idol which is in the possession of Liza, Mary Ann's colored maid. During a party given in Mary Ann's honor the jade ear disappears, and not resting easily in strange hands it brings a number of misfortunes upon the house.
John, the boyhood sweetheart of Mary Ann, believing Horace guilty of the theft challenges him to a dual, but the Sheriff appears in time to prevent it. The difficulties are then resolved in such a way that John wins Mary Ann and also comes in for a bit of additional good fortune.
This opera is becoming well known throughout the United States. Last Sunday night it was broadcasted from radio station WGN, Chicago, with well-known artists carrying the leads.
Tickets for the opera may be obtained from members of the mixed chorus. A general admission price of thirty-five cents will be charged, while the center section of the auditorium will be reserved at fifty cents a seat.

Mon., May 18—Prof G. N Boone, head of the Industrial Arts depart-ment of the College, gave his last chapel speech this morning, before going to California to complete his work for a doctor's degree.
Ten years ago, Professor Boone was graduated from the College. He has taught here for the last eight years. If his present plans work out he will attend Leland Standford next winter, if not he will got to the Uni-versity of Southern California where he has previously taken work.
He said that it is hard to go and that he and Mrs. Boone called it a great, "adventure. " The thought he
would leave to the students of the College is this: "Don't worry and fret about the future. Do now what you know is right. Start the work in this life you wish to carry on in eternity. When considering a certain line of action, think of the result if every one did the same thing. "
Making a mistake is not as bad as failing to correct it.

GRADES
Soon comes the nemesis of college students—grades. Like the measles, everybody had to have them, but no two people have them alike.
For some they mean little—lucky ones! — but to others they mean everything, graduation, a job, approval of the folks at home, and all the rest of it. And for those of us who depend on grades, there is the ever present grading system that is imperfect in conception and even more Im-perfect in execution.
The idea of the system—it is really flattery to call it that—is to have the students as a whole graded and put into convenient pigeon holes depending on the merits of their work. The chief difficulty of the entire system is that no two of the students who belong in each.
One instructor says that a means perfect work, that no human being can be perfect, and it logically follows that there are no A's. Under such an instructor, some of the B's are really A's according to the standards of others. Some teachers are liberal in their estimates of students abilities, and feel justified in giving many high grades and few low ones. Such a professor is popular with the average student: he has his classes filled.
There is a range of variables in between, and the unlucky students suffers under the stricter ones, and loafs under the lenient ones. As it is,
a grade doesn't mean much until it is accompanied by the name of the instructor who gave it, so that it may be translated into terms of evaluation. It would, be blessed relief to have the family get together and arrange a definite grading scale with some definite value. Then, perhaps, it would not be so common for a student, who consistently and conscienciously does
work in two courses to get an A in one and a D in the other. —Clipped
A SENIOR PRELUDE
Each year as graduation time approaches, the feeling becomes current —What will we do next year without the seniors? This year there is as much Justification as ever for the feeling. The class has made a large contribution in the campus organizations, in scholastic and athletic achievements, and in influencing campus conduct and attitude. Although, small, the class is remarkably versatile, capable, and admirable in the quality of character exhibited. Music, art, writing, public speaking, business admin-istration, professions, and home-making are a few of the fields anticipated. At this class takes its place in the sea of life, we will watch each member eagerly to see the new wave he will set circling in the already troubled current. Some few may pour oil on the waters, We hope none will sink nor merely drift with the tide, We are at once happy and sorry to see you go. We hope soon to join you. We will be disappointed if you have failed to live up to the promise of usefulness you have made. Remember M. C. the "School of Quality"—and go away from here still green enough to grow. —Enthusiastic Scribe, (A Junior).
The class day program of the senior class of 1931 will take place in the College chapel at 10: 00 o’clock Thursday morning, May 23.
If you are interested in the past and, future of the seniors, come to this program, the sponsors are urging, because it will all be revealed at this time. The class of ‘31 has the reputation of being different and this program may not disappoint any student or faculty member, Following is the program:

The professor was attempting to make himself heard above the roar of the lawn mower, but soon decided to try something else.
"I hardly want to run competition with that thing all hour. Let's see. "Jack, " will you see what you can do about it? We’ll see how good a debater you are. "
"Jack" left the room but the noise kept on and the voices continued until the negative lost to the affirmative. "Jack" returned a hero and Forney moved on to other fields to conquer.
How's this for stirring up things on the Western Front? It was after the battle and the identification officer was attempting to get the number of a soldier who lay gasping, apparently dying, but by some chance he had lost his identification card, "Quick, " cried the officer snatch-Ing his pad and pencil, “give us your name so we can tell your mother. "
The unknown soldier responded
with a half-hearted effort. "My mother knows my name, " and passed on.

CO-ED GRADUATES THIS YEAR
URGED NOT TO TRY FOR JOBS UNLESS FORCED TO EARN LIVING
Virginia C. Gildersleeve, dean of Barnard college, and one of the foremost women educators in the country, says that girls graduating from college in this year of depression should not seek jobs unless they are forced to earn their living.

“The School of Quality”
A linoleum-cut by Miss Christine Mohler, McPherson college senior.
"If the girl graduating this June has a family that can possibly support her for a while longer, or a kind aunt to help her, or a little money in the bank, then she should not try to get a position in times like these," Dean Gildersleeve declares.
Instead of attempting to compete for jobs that are none too numerous, the graduate should get technical or professional training that will enable her in the long run to do high grade work, the dean says. She is especially opposed to the entrance of wealthy college graduates into such activities as ordinary office work.
"A few years ago,” she says, "a silly custom grew up among girls of the rich set, of studying stenography and taking posts as clerks in offices, even though they had no special taste for the jobs. At the present moment this would be even more foolish for such affluent workers."
A college girl in dire straits, she declares, should take up an honest work if she can "in order to keep off the breadline.” "No kind of honest work, well done, will ever disgrace anyone.” she avers, "even though it be dish washing and the girl's ambi-" tion is to sing in grand opera.”
Dr. Alexander Meikeljolin, chairman of the Experimental college of the University of Wisconsin and former president of Amherst, declares that if the young men who are graduated this June emerge "intel-lectually lifeless" they might have "spent the years in digging ditches than in going to college." Saye he to the college graduate:
"What have you been doing with your mind? Is that mind an eager, living, venturing energy going forth on its own initiative? Or have you come to deal with your mind as a sort of bucket to be filled by the inert results of other m thinking?"
TO GO TO CONFERENCE
The mixed quartet of the Church of the Brethren will be taken to the annual conference of the Church to be held from June 10 to 16 at Colorado Springs, Colo. The quartet consists of Mrs. Wyman Freeby, Mrs. V, F. Schwalm, Harold Beam, and Paul Sargent.

They are "Outlines of Agricultural, Eco-nomics," by Taylor, and "Principles of Soil Techonology.'” by Emerson. The other new volume is a physics reference book, "Spectra," by Johnson.
A series of four pamphlets on "Honor to George Washington.'” edited by Dr. A. B. Hart, have recently been sent to the library by the George Washing-ton Bi-centennial Commission. the
pamphlets are to further the study and understanding of this great na-tional figure who was born 200 years ago next February 22.
Students from- seven states in the Rocky Mountain area will meet at Estes Park, Colorado, for a conference on social, economic, and religious problems for 10 days, beginning June 8.
The program for this conference, which annually attracts approximately 400 students, will provide discussion on the most perplexing and interesting problems of American life, international cooperation and understanding, national political entangle-ments, prohibition, the interpretation of the world brought to us by modern physical science and psychology, and some of the aspects of our economic system will receive considerable attention. For those discussions and addresses men and women of wide experience and fame will be brought to the student conference.
In addition to the consideration of specified situations and problems of a very practical nature, it is planned to carry thru the entire conference a series of addresses dealing primarily with the meaning of religion in the world today. This will involve open discussion on the sources of religion, the significance of Jesus, the place of the organized church in modern society, and the current trends in religious thinking.

With no more intercollegiate sports left for this school year, college students are to content them-
selves with campus horseshoe and
tennis. Some may even keep the standings of the national baseball teams in mind as a diversion. For recreation some are even going to study, or complete "that theme." For mental relief some, both male and female, are thinking of home, their sweethearts, etc., etc., etc.
The sports situation in McPherson college for next year gives promise of being both interesting and unique. Coach Melvin J. Binford is endeavor-ing to develop and institute an ath-letic program that will meet the needs of every man on the campus. He is instituting the plan of having each student participating in some form of athletics, under a very syn-tematic manner. Coach Binford feels that such a system as this will be of greater benefit to the College as a whole than by centering his ef-forts upon a group of athletes in one definite sport.
