VORAN TO TEACH VOICE

Popular Graduate in Class of '28 Now Finishing at Chicago Con-servatory of Music

Five members of the McPherson college faculty will not return to the school next year according to announcement from the president's office. They are Miss Margaret Shelley, professor of violin: Mrs. Anna C. Tate, professor of voice; Miss Edith McGaffey, head of the English department and Dean of Women; Mrs. Della Holsinger, matron; and Miss Adelyn Taylor, instructor in women's physical education.

Alvin "Cheesy" Voran, a graduate of M. C. in the class of 1928, will

return to his alma mater to take up the work in the music department now conducted by Mrs. Tate, including individual voice instruction and group conducting. He will also teach the courses in theory now conducted by Miss Shelley. An instructor in violin has not yet been selected.

Mr. Voran has spent the last four years in Chicago, attending the Chicago Conservatory of Music, from which he will take his degree this spring. He has also been taking some courses in Bethany Biblical Seminary. While at M. C. he was an active and popular student, and all who knew him will welcome his return as a member of the music faculty.

Mrs. Tate has been instructor of voice here since 1928, and has made a notable contribution to the growth of the department. Miss Shelley, a Graduate of Bethany college. Linds-borg, has been professor of violin since 1929.

Miss Edith McGaffey has been on the McPherson college faculty since 1919, after her post-graduate year at Kansas university following her graduation from M. C. in the class of 1918. She plans to teach in the 1932 McPherson college Summer School and then spend this winter in advanced study, probably at the University of Chicago. During her year's leave of absence her courses in English will be taught by Dr. V. F. Schwalm and Prof. Maurice A. Hew.

Mrs. Delia Holsinger, although re-elected as matron, has resigned and will not be returning next year. The person who will fill her place is yet to be selected.

Miss Audrey Groves of McPherson will have charge of the women's phy-sical education courses now taught by Adelyn Taylor, a member of the graduating senior class this spring. Miss Groves is at present enrolled in K. S. T. C. Emporia, and will be a junior in McPherson college next year.

The remaining music on the M. C. broadcast was furnished by a ladies trio composed of Mrs. Rush Holloway, Lois Edwards, and Mildred Dahlinger. They sand the second scene from the sacred cantata "Ruth, the Moabitess."

Prof. J. A. Blair, of the department or education and Psychology, presented an address setting forth the advantages of McPherson college and its environment. He told of the location and character of the city of McPherson, and of its fitness as a college community.

Have Trouble in Getting Away From Campus— Leave at 3:30 Thursday Morning

FROLIC IN OAKDALE PARK

Class Entertained by Rowing, Motor Boat Riding, and Other Sports

Early Thursday morning the Senior class cast aside their dignity and left the campus for an unknown des-tination. After successfully overcom-ing the egg bombardment, water artillery, and kidnapping snare which the graduating class were subjected to, they were off to Salina.

The group went directly to Oak-da;e Park where breakfast was soon served. The morning was most en-joyably spent in the park playing games, including horseshoe and base-ball. In the afternoon much of the pleasure was taken in rowing and motor boat riding on the river. Some of the class even succumbed to a few winks of steep during the day.

Delicious meals were served at the regular hours throughout the day to the hungry picnickers.

In the evening the class attended a movie in Salina and returned to McPherson into Thursday evening tired but thoroughly happy in the satisfaction that they had had a most pleasurable time.

What's the Use?" Miss Della Lehman, president of the local organization, introduced the speaker. Other numbers on the pro-gram were two rejections by the high school girls sextet and two numbers by the high school string trio.

After the program the guests adjourned to the new McCourt reception room for tea. The refreshments the table appointments were in pastel shades. Dainty tea cakes, macar-oons, butter cakes, lavender ice, and candled strawberries were served. Miss Eunice Almen of the McPherson Association was hostess.

QUADRANGLES ON WAY TO THE BINDERS NOW

ARE STUDYING "TWENTY-ONE"

The local Y. M. C. A. cabinet is using "Twenty-one," recent book by Erdman Harris, as the basis of discussions held in the weekly cabinet meetings. Two men are delegated each week to review a portion of the book and lead the discussion of material covered. The book is written in a simple and interesting style, and is well adapted to stimulating thought and planning for the young man just entering maturity.

SPECTATOR ACHIEVES HIGH HONOR RATING

Lacks 5 Points of Making First Class Rating in N. S. P. A. Criticism

The Spectator has achieved a Second Class Honor Rating in the 1932 Newspaper Critical Service conducted by the National Scholastic Press Association, of which the local paper is a member.

With a total of 730 points out of 1000 scored. The Spectator fell just five points short of making a First Class Honor Rating, one of the highest ratings given.

The range of scores in the 1932 Critical Service, with corresponding honor ratings, were as follows: 840 plus, All-American Honor Rating— Superior; 835-735. First Class Honor Rating—Excellent; 730-670. Second

Class Honor Rating—Good; Below

670, Third Class Honor Fair.

The M. C. paper was not entered in the N. S. P. A. Critical Service last year, but two years ago the paper received a Third Class rating. Those in charge of the rating this year in-form us that the ratings in general run lower than formerly, because of a revision of the scorebook. A copy of the later, containing valuable pointers as to newswriting, sources, and make-up, with rating and criticism of our own paper on each point has been sent to The Spectator.

Well Trained And Capable Cast Insures Excellent Presentation

“The Perfect Alibi," mystery comedy by A. A Milne, is progressing rapidly in senior class rehearsals, and work on scenery, lighting, staging, and publicity is being pushed in preparation for presentation of the production Tuesday. May 24, at the City Auditorium. Mrs. J. G. Bailey, local dramatic director, is coaching the play and directing the committees.

Every indication points to a fall house and students are urged to have their seats reserved early.

"The Perfect Alibi" is a mystery story which holds the breathless interest of the audience until the last. There is much humor and plenty of thrills with no gruesome or harrowing emotional scenes. The plot is laid in an English well-to-do home; the actors are endeavoring to por-tray life upon which the plot rests.

NONE SERIOUSLY HURT

Mrs. Tate Suffers Injury to Shoulder —Bernice Dresher, Harold Beam Hurt Slightly

Friends on College Hill were re-lieved to hear this morning that none of the McPherson college party which suffered an automobile wreck near Conway last evening were in a critical condition.

Mrs. Anna C. Tate, M. C. director of vocal music, who was hurt the worst, suffered a badly bruised shoulder and painful injury to her chest, but otherwise was not in seri-ous condition. Bernice Dresher, freshman, had torn a ligament in her left shoulder. In addition to minor bruises. Harold Beam, class of '22 was suffering same from a blow on the bark of his head received in the accident.

Paul Sargent and Leo Miller of McPherson, driver and owner of the car, both escaped without serious in-jury. The group was returning from Dodge City, where the College Church mixed quartet had given a program before the State Rotary con-vention. Rounding a curve just east of Conway at a high rate of speed, the car got out of control, apparently from a defect in the steering gear, and after turning over twice landed on its top. The party all managed to escape by forcing a door open, but the automobile was burned up.

‘RUGGED CHARACTER IS NEEDED,’ SAYS SCHWALM

Appeals For Retention of Some of Puritan Qualities

Wed., May 4-For chapel devotions this rooming Pres. V. F. Schwalm read a passage from the Bible portraying the strong, rugged morality and moral earnestness of jesus. Dr. Schwalm stated that many of our forefathers and the New Eng-land Puritans possessed the great quality of moral earnestness; for tn the Puritan life was a battle, a struggle for existence. Their atti-tudes toward life developed a great character to meet the obstacles they were to meet in their new environment, because success depended upon stalwart, rugged strength of character.

Dr. Schwalm stated that of the colleges must come strong leadership for tomorrow. We are indeed today of seriousness and moral ear-nestness to meet the social problems— we must have a social sensi-tivity. The speaker said that at the present time there is an unusual swing from the Puritan outlook toward life, manifested in many ways.

"If life bn cheaply held it will be poorly lived,” stated Dr. Schwalm. There exists an attitude of morel in-difference on ethical questions, and we have failed to make the moral discriminations which are necessary to strength of character. There is, in addition, not enough conviction about religions problems.

Dr. Schwalm stated that there is no finer quality one can have in the twentieth century life than that of moral indignation in the presence of sin. The modern day needs leadership of rugged, earnest character, under the banner of Jesus Christ.

SMALL GIRLS PRESENT FRIDAY CHAPEL PROGRAM

Two small girls, Anita Mulline and Lola Lorens, 5 and 6 years old res-pectively, presented the program for the chapel assembly Friday morning. Miss Mullins played "Arabesque" and "Summer Days." Miss Lorena played "Rippling Water” and "Spring.” Both girls are piano students of Miss Fern Lingenfelter. They are the youngest students enrolled in Mc-Pherson college.

Next Tuesday Visitors May See Displays of Department’s Work

ATTEND ROTARY CONVENTION

“MOTHER" SUBJECT OF TALK

Dear old Side-kick:

It really is just too bad that you weren't visiting school last Friday, for then maybe you could have

tagged along to Hutchinson. You

know, the chem trip—or in more explicit rhetoric, the visit the chem-

istry students make every year to the salt mines, reformatory, etc. in Hutchinson. I always did think it was downright lamentable that after spending all my life in such close proximity to the largest salt mines in the world, I could tell no more about it than that it is a place where the essential of the earth is obtained. Now that I have been there I have only to go to Europe, and then I will have nothing left to live for. Dr. Hershey spent weeks before-hand coaching us on our lines and telling us different do's and don't's Not to get lost in the mines, not take all the sweets from the candy factory. Also not to let anyone at the paper and straw factory mistake us for a bundie of newspapers and pitch us into the machine that chews up greedily everything to pulp just as your car does baby rag's doll-only on a much larger scale.

Well, to get back to the original subject- the chemistry trip, you know- we started early in the morn-ing. At least it seemed early when it came to rolling out of the downy cot at about 6:30 a. m. It was about 8:30 before the late stragglers had managed to climb out of the last nitches and arrive at the paper and craw factory.

My dear, you would really be sur-prised at the things one can learn at such place. Why there were huge tolls of white paper about six or feven feet long and about three or four feet in diameter, and when I asked somebody what those big things were for, I was told that they were used on mammoth adding machines for big concerns. They did look like giant rolls for such mach-ines, but I had never thought of that. I opened my eyes wide and they about fell out on my cheeks. Every-body around me laughed raucously, faint I thought that possibly they made funny papers at the paper factory, too, but I could not find any.

We all went to the salt mines, next. Thrills, heart-throbs, and shades of inky blackness! They pack-ed us tightly into the mine elevator and somebody said, "Well, I know just how the poor sardine feels, now." With a lot of squealing we undulated gently down into 700 feet of murky nothingness. We quieted down to listen to an ominous roar as we went through an underground stream. The mine was well-lighted, but we managed to stay pretty close to our guide, for there was so many branching alley-ways that it would not have taken much wandering to get lost in that labyrinth. When we got out, some man pointed to a silo about half a mile away and said that, we had been under that.

They certainly were dumb at the Carey salt plant, where we went next, but I guess they didn't know that this is a school of quality. They  seemed to think that we spend all our time raising rabbits, for they gave each of us a cake of rabbit salt.

At the flour mill we rode stealthily up and down on the individual elevator when no one was looking imagine our quick fade-out when we were told that a man bad been killed riding on that very elevator only two days before!

After lunch we went to the Morton salt plant and gasped at the huge piles of white salt. We decided that one pile would furnish one average-sized family with table salt for sixty-eight years, three months, and five days, or for 21,265 meals. Pardon me, but did I hear you say that it seens as if I had used the word salt once or twice in this letter?

At the reformatory we decided that dormitory food was not so bad after all. The seats in the dining hall did not look very comfortable, either. But say, girl, I know now why good look-ing fellows seem so scarce (as far as I am concerned, anyway). They are all in the reformatory.

They got generous at the candy factory and gave us all suckers. Dr. Hershey had told us before that if any of us simply could not resist taking some saccharine food, that he would help us by buying us some candy afterwards. As we were start-ing home we saw him walking along the street carrying two big sacks of candy, but we never did find out If they were for some young candy-kleptomaniac-students or for the younger Hershey.

At the Bond Bread Bakery, we were shown vitamin D. Have you over seen vitamin D? Well, neither have I.

Just as we started home the hea-vens seemed to open and descend upon us.' We looked in our purses and pockets, got out our little paddles, and proceeded to row home Figuratively, you realize, of course.

Well, old salt, I simply must hit the proverbial hay in order to get up in time for a class or two.

Saltily, yet saucily yours,

Sal.

HERSHEY TO LECTURE ON 'RADIUM' TONIGHT

Tonight at 8:00 o'clock Dr. J. W. Hershey will give his lecture on "Radium" in the chemistry lecture room of Harnly Hall.

While this lecture is primarily for the first year chemistry class, it will be very interesting and educational to any other students who wish to attend. Demonstrations on radium and its uses will be given in addition to the lecture. The admission is free and everyone is cordially invited.

Mrs. Melvin Binford spoke to the Y. W. C. A. cabinet in the regular Monday night meeting on the subject of "Mother." During the weekly meetings held on Friday morning from 8:00 to 8:30 o’clock the Y. W. C. A. has been using Raymond Fos-dick's "Meaning of Prayer" as the basis of its discussion.

Pres. V. F. Schwalm and Dean R. E. Mohler went to the state Rotary convention held yesterday at Dodge City, Kansas, taking their wives with them. At noon they participated in a program on "Peace."

TWO LONG LOST BOOKS RETURNED TO SHELVES

Spring housecleaning is bringing results. Several books have come back to the library which have gone for quite some time. One book, Merz' "Music and Culture”, has been absent from our shelves since 1927; another, vol. 6 of "Famous American Statesmen and Orators" has been away since 1928. Hjorth, "Principles of Woodworking" after an absence of some months has returned to our grace our shelves. It had disap-peared from the reserve shelf and was greatly in demand. Several mag-azines, too, have made a much appreciated reappearance.

COLLEGE WOMEN HEAR

PROGRAM ON 'NATURE'

Poetry, Music, and Speaking Make Up Y. W. C. A. Meeting

"Nature" was the theme of the Tuesday morning Y. W. C. A. pro-gram which was opened by the singing of "This is My Father's World." Marjorie Brown read a poem entitled "God is Here," which was followed by prayer led by Greta Wilma Griffis.

Gulah Hoover sang "Thank God For a Garden." Edith Bechtelhelmer gave a short talk on the beauty of nature and its reflection of the beauty and power of God. Nature gives us a wonderful opportunity to find God, she said. The most glorious moments of one's life usually take place when one is out-of-doors.

Helen Holloway sang "Consider the Lilles,” and Rosalind Almen concluded the program by reading two poems, "Vestiga” by Bliss and "Mirrors” by Mary O. Sheldrake.

RICHARDS TELLS OF

DEBT TO MOTHERS

Tues., May 10—"We owe something to Mother that we owe to no other living being." said Rev. H. P. Richards in the special Mother's day

Y. M. program this morning. Rev. Richards pointed out that the best productions of music and art have been inspired by mothers, and that mother love is a strong appeal to the manhood of America. The men must also assume the responsibility for religious and moral training in the home, it was asserted, if the home is to be a happy one.

Blanch Harris sang a sold. “Mother Machree", at the opening of the program. He was accompanied by Pauline Dell. Donald Dresher led in devotions, and Lilburn Gottmann in-troduced the speaker.

GLEANINGS FROM THE HEWS

N. S. P. A.

We have almost forgotten that the representatives of the leading nations of the world are still discussing limitations of armaments. Little will be accomplished by way of actual limitation, but the fact that such a conference is possible is a hopeful sign.

A youth crusade has been crossing Belgium, France, Germany, Holland, and Switzerland on its way to Geneva where it will make a plea for drastic cuts in arms.

Mussolini offers the world a plan to end strife and the depression. Italy is now on record with five demands—definite ending of debts and reparations; modification or abolition of oppressive custom barriers; remedying conditions in Danublan states; revision of such peace treaties as are now causing unrest, and the ending of international conferences,

David Lloyd George, one of Britain’s greatest political figures of all

Lime, a man whose oratory has

swayed the benches of the House of Commons as had that of few men, has committed himself in the future

to farming and to writing.

While Adolf Hitler, presidential candidate for the national socialist in Germany was making a triumphal progress through Berlin in a preelection parade, government officials

were making preparations to try him

for high treason for supposed betrayal of military secrete to foreign governments.
