Several Other Activities Planned for Celebration

Sheldon Believes Outlook for Peace Is Encouraging

ALUMNI GATHERING FOR HOME COMING FRIDAY

Will Meet Old Classmates and Familiar Scenes

FOOTBALL GAME FEATURED From cast, west, north, and south the alumni and former students of McPherson college will gather next Friday for the first Home Coming celebration to take place in several years. They will view again the scenes which have become familiar through intimate association, and they will again meet their classmates for a renewal of the friendships of student, days.

The headliner for the three days of the Home Coming activities is the football game in McPherson Athletic Park at eight o'clock Friday evening, between the McPherson Bulldogs and the Friends university Quakers. Friends has a good team which is sure to show the Bulldogs a real game, while the Bulldogs are ready to show them some real competition at the sound of the starting whistle Friday night. Anyone who has fol-lowed the last two games played by the McPherson team knows that the number of games won or lost tells very little about the actual fighting spirit and playing ability of the Bull-dogs. A comprehensive ticket selling campaign has been in progress for several days and there is prospect for a record crowd at the game. The Freshman class has undertaken the preparation of a special souvenir book which can be secured at the game. It will contain the names, numbers and weights of the players, with pictures of outstanding men, also the school song and the season schedule for the Bulldogs.

Saturday will be given over to visiting with old friends, making new ones, and viewing the campus and the new improvements in the city of McPherson. At six-thirty in the evening there is to be a motion picture, "Hell and the Way Back,” in the college chapel sponsored by the local Y. M. C. A. This is to be followed by an all-school social held under the supervision of the alumni association.

Sunday morning, following the regular Sunday School session at the College Church, there will be a Home Coming sermon by Rev. H. F. Rich-ards.    

It is the desire of the Home Coming committee that anyone for whom it is impossible to come to McPherson this fall send their best wishes anyway, in order to make this the biggest and best Home Coming over experienced at M. C.

FRESHMEN HOLD OUTING

AT ANDERSON'S GROVE

Baseball, Games, and Refreshments Occupy Evening

Fri., Oct. 24—This evening at four thirty o’clock about sixty freshmen trokked not to Anderson’s grove north of town for a weiner roast.

Immediately upon landing at the grounds a baseball game was organized with Professor Hess acting as umpire. Tommy Taylor's side walked away with the game and further ac-tivity along that line was discontinued. The freshmen occupied the intervening time before their lunch with teeter-tottering, three-cornered catch, and gathering firewood.

Next came the call for beans and everyone was kept busy eating wein-ies, buns, potato salad, beans, bananas, and a bushel of apples. What apples and bananas were not eaten were thrown at innocent, unsuspect-ing bystanders, and the remainder of the coffee was used to put out the fire. The party broke up about seven o'clock.

Rev. Earl Frantz Believes in Seriousness of Youth

MASS PEACE MEETING IS A GREAT SUCCESS

Dr. Charles M. Sheldon and Dr. J. Nevin Sayre Speak

DISARMAMENT IS URGED

Sun., Oct. 25—A Mass Peace meeting was held at the Community Building this afternoon. It was one of a series of meetings being held throughout the country under the auspices of the periodical, "The World Tomorrow". Although the meeting was scheduled to start at 2:30, the train on which the two speakers, Dr. Nevin Sayre and Dr. Charles M. Sheldon, were riding, was delayed. The talks started at about 4:00.

The subject of the talks was "How May Another World War be Averted?" Dr. Sayre told of economic and political conditions in Europe. He stated that Germany holds a keystone position in Europe, because of her present economic and political strife. Dr. Sayre continued by saying that the United States could relieve the situation very much if we would, because all Europe is paying war debts to United States, and most of these payments come originally from Germany; and the U. S. spends more for armaments than any other nation, spending at the rate of $2,000,000 every 24 hours.

Dr. Sheldon gave some of the en-couraging aspects of the present sit-uation with regard to peace. He stated that war is a most wasteful, stupid and cowardly act and that nations are growing to realize this. Dr. Sheldon believes the peace movement is progressing every day, because more and more organizations, and individual citizens are standing for peace; and because treaties pri-marily against war are being made. He stated that to end war, nations must deal justly,love kindness, and walk humbly with God. In closing, he said "Let us shake hands, not fists, across international boundaries".

ANOTHER Y. M. MOVIE

NEXT SATURDAY NIGHT

"Hell and the Way Back” Is Home Coming Feature

Next Saturday evening at 6:30 o'clock another of the of motion pictures sponsored by the local Y. M. C. A. will be shown in the college chapel as a feature of the Homecoming activities. The picture to be given is "Hell and the Way Back," a five-reel production con-cerning the League of Nations and the World Court.

The picture is divided into two parts. The first part presents a dramatic love story of the War, depleting the universal desire of men that war and its horrors be abolished. The second part shows actual scenes of the workings of the League of Nations, the International Labor Office, and the World Court. The spectators see a commission on the spot settling a boundary dispute between Greece and Bulgaria. It also includes maps and diagrams illustrating the work of the League, and pictures of several internationally known states-

men.

M. C. GRADUATE IS HONORED

A letter was received recently from a former M. C. student who took his major in Chemistry. Martin Wise, who was graduated with the class of '28, and is now employed in the Western Star Mill Co., writes that he has been working on some interesting experiments in cereal chemistry.

A paper was written on this experiment, and this was read at the American Association of Cereal Chemists which was held May 25-29 at Louisville, Kentucky. This paper has also been published in the "Cereal-Chem-ist", a recognition which is regarded as an honor.

LILLIAN CARLSON SPEAKS ON PEACE AT Y. M. C. A.

Tues., Oct. 27— The Y. M. meeting today was the first of a series of programs on Peace. Lillian Carlson talked on present world conditions and the peace movement, pointing out that factions exist in Europe today, much the same as they did in l914. Miss Carlson discussed the World Court Protocol which has not yet been passed by the United States, but which is to be voted on by our Congress in December, and Harry Emerson Fondick's three steps that may be taken by each of us, as definite action for peace. These three steps are (1) educate ourselves concerning real facts of war and mili-tarism. (2) combat militaristic forces and (3) follow our individual con-sciences in refusing to take part in war, in case there is one.

Special Music was given by Faithe Ketterman, who played a piano solo. Clinton Trostle was chairman of the meeting, and Everett Fasnacht led devotions.

FALSE FIRE ALARM IS

CAUSE OF EXCITEMENT

When Firemen Arrive No Sign of Conflagration is Found

Wed., Oct. 21—Considerable ex-citement prevailed on College Hill this evening about seven o'clock, when the ominous sound of the McPherson fire whistle was followed by a hurry-up trip of the entire firefighting department to the college campus. Within a few minutes several hundred cars had gathered, and a large crowd assembled around the two fire trucks in front of Sharp Hall. The only thing lacking was the fire.

It is reported that a minor fire in a car in the drive near the campus entrance inspired someone to turn in the fire alarm, but when the firemen arrived on the scene neither the fire nor the person who had given the call could be found.

Rare as is true love, true friendship is rarer.

When I have ceased to break my wings Against the faultiness of things,

To be seventy years young is far more cheerful and hopeful than to be forty years old.—O. W. Holmes. Knowledge comes but wisdom lialers.—Tennyson.

Way back around the years 1888 and 1890- when the college was still in its infancy the poor boys and girls must have had a tougher time of it than we do now. Yeah, you may think that seems impossible but just wait please and be patient until we pass on some of these bewildering statements for you to ponder over. There were tough rules then and they had to be obeyed; if they weren't carried out to the letter there was a real faculty meeting held and some mighty real tears shed by the unfortunate miscreants.

In those days there were some rigid rules regulating the social life of the inmates of McPherson's educational institution. Now when these iron clad statements were put into actual practice it meant that the boys and girls couldn't even play around together or walk down town unless they had two or three faculty mem-bers in the lead or else tagging along behind like faithful watch dogs. Whenever there was an important concert or something down town the children instead of getting permits and strolling down by twos were

herded into one of those mule street cars that used to navigate the streets of McPherson, and with half a dozen profs along to guide and guard them from civil went to the concert, Before the family could return to the dormitory the profs usually had to spend about ten minutes rounding everybody up and getting them back in the car safely.

By the way here is another feature of campus life as it was then that might interest and surprise you. There was just one dormitory, and that was the building now known as Fahnestock Hall. The fellows lived on one floor, the girls on another, and many of the faculty members al-so stayed there. The dean used to go over to visit the dorm every day, so evidently Dean Replogle hasn’t been doing his duty. The dining hall too was in this same building and even the chapel for a while. After supper all the students were permitted to have a half an hour—thirty minutes, no more—to visit together either in the chapel or in the big parlor. Of course this all took place-in the proper atmosphere for the poor dears were duly chaperoned.

Really the modern generation isn't s0 far advanced when we consider some of our recreations as compared to those of our forefathers. They used to go walking, too, on the road east of the campus for about a mile, or else stroll out to the cemetery and play leap frog over the tombstones on Sunday afternoons when everyone was supposed to be in a reverent frame of mind.

As for athletics, in those times no one need suffer from athletic heart, broken noses, ribs, etc., and anxious parents were saved the agony of worrying about the beloved son going to college and getting ruined from that horrible game called Football. Honestly, the most strenuous exercise participated in consisted of that game, which we hear of sometimes, croquet. The girls had a croquet ground on one side of the dorm and the fellows played theirs on the other side and if some member of either sex would happen to become absent minded or forget which side be or she belonged on, there was serious trouble.

The men did rig up some sort of trapeze apparatus out here north of the dormitory, but one night a terrible scandal occurred when a group of girls, clad in their night garb, took it into their foolish young heads to go out and swing on the trapeze. Horrified at such conduct, the matron hurriedly herded them back into the dorm, bitterly and vehemently denouncing them the while for falling to uphold the honor and dignity of their school.

Pie swiping seemed to have been quite a favorite sport with our fathers. One young man was especially adept at this game and this is the way he worked it. He would go down into the kitchen and kid the cook along and then when she wasn't look-ing would slip a pie out of a window to a confederate outside. But one day as he was deep in his conversa-tion, unknown to him Dr. Fahnestock approached, so of course his confederate quickly made his exit from the scene. As Dr. Fahnestock was walking along he was surprised to see a pie come out of a window, but he only took it and remained silent. Soon a second appeared and then a third, and then Dr. Fahnestock said, "Don't you think we have about enough pies?" You can imagine the chagrin of the culprit.

And so the college youth of former days also played their tricks and had their fun, and though some of them now — grown older — like to talk about the good old days, take it from one who knows, they weren’t all un-gels—even then.

DR. J. W. HERSHEY

SPEAKS IN CHAPEL WED.

Speaks of Home Influence and Adjustment to College

Wed., Oct. 21—A happy home is one in which there is satisfaction, bitter words are left unspoken and cheerfulness reigus. Dr. J. W. Hershey asserted in his chapel talk this morning.

We all came from different homes to be one large college family. Adjustment is difficult, and when one is not properly adjusted dissatisfac-tion results. After coming to college one should show his appreciation for his home in maintaining its high standard. Home influence is deathless.

Miss Jessie Brown played the processionss and recessional for the service.

EDUCATION IS SUBJECT

DISCUSSED IN C. E.

Was Second of Group on “Making Most of Life"

Sun., Oct.. 25—The Christian En-deavor program tonight centered around the subject "Education—the Key to Closed Doors ". The program was the second of a group on the theme "Making the Most of Life ", Grace Heckman was leader in tonight's meeting.

Following devotional reading by the leader, Ada Brunk gave a chalk talk illustrating the song "I Love a Little Cottage". Mildred Dahlinger sang the song as the drawing was being completed.

The first discussion topic was "Why Do I Need an Education" by Ruth Idhe. She said that education makes possible a more satisfactory standard of living; develops our faculties for Christian service; and enriches life. Philip Lauver, the second speaker, talked on "Shall I Be Satis-fied with Just Getting By?" Mr. Lauver said that "getting by" with class work is enough if we sese some-thing that is nearer our goal and needs beyond and above what our classes give us. He also said that, an education includes an understand-ing and appreciation of self, nature, society and God, and to get these one must read, study lives of great leaders, study men in our acquain-tance, and study each other. Pelvis Bradshaw discussed the duration “Where Should We Go to Get an Ed-ucation?" summarizing reasons given by students for attending college where they do, and concluded by saying that one should attend college where he can develop a four-fold life.

A pessimist may be that way because of the optimists who owe him money. - Hamilton Spectator.
