Miss Heckethorn's library three hours before a banquet at which he had to be-toastmaster! He looked for two hooks about toastmaster speeches, and Marlene Dappen had checked both out. She also had a toast to prepare for the same feed!

And we understand one Quinter lad wrote a letter to his girl, while being pestered by four sisters!

Margie Schwartz dyed eggs for her nephews in Manhattan. We wonder If she hunted them too.

Tuffy Wine and Clarence Sink looked sober and really lonesome here at the dorm. At that Tuffy thought he was going to play bridge with three - femmes — not quite though. Almost a break anyway.

And of course the usual of the unusual was that Sara would hide Gladys’ new Easter bonnet and make her delay the date to search for it. He's got his tricks—that man!

The life that was lived so bravely and conscientiously has been snuffed out.

Conscientiously our beloved professor followed the footsteps of his own Perfect Teacher and Instructed his students in the same ways.

Gone the weakened body, but his Christ-like spirit will never depart from the portals of the college where his memory la held moat sacred. —A. B.

We are told that Napoleon, on the eve of Austerlitz, pitched his tent among his grenadiers and encouraged them to sing until late at night Napoleon loved his soldfers—and knew them as few leaders have over known their men. Through song, he beguiled their thoughts away from scenes of carnage so that they slept the sleep of children, untroubled by dreams of the stem happenings of the morrow.

Here Is another example. In an ancient weather-worn house in Virginia lives an old lady. Back In "sixty-four" when the armies of the Polo mae and Of Northern Virginia came to such deadly grips In this territory, she was but a slip of a girl of twenty, with a face of sunshine and a low sweet voice. Of summer evenings she was wont to sing the sweet melodies dear to the Southland. The sound of her voice floated out through the dusk to the lines of the Blue and the Gray, both so closely drawn about her home.

Often at night as she thus sat at her piano singing, men In Blue and then In Gray would leave those lines and steal near the house to catch the words of her song. Forgot was war. when her music streamed out In the night—for It seemed like a breath of heaven.

At last the wilderness sprang ablaze and the two armies clashed in one of the fiercest struggles yet fought on the Western Hemisphere. But her home was a lane of neutrality, a sanctuary, a holy of, holies amid all that wilderness of fire and destruction.

Everyone attending the Booster Banquet was moved by the spirit of cooperation expressed by the community to aid McPherson College. The affair represented an effort to promote Its welfare both In a financial man nor and by giving enthusiasm to those connected with the collage.

The students of McPherson College should express their appreciation to our community, net only In the financial dealings which the student has with merchants of the city, but also by giving to the college the best that he has to make McPherson College worthy of our city, Boost McPherson College by helping McPherson College Boosters.

Many and varied are the benefits derived from the weekly educational films which are shown in the chapel each Wednesday evening between 7 and 8 o’clock.

Some of the films take the spectators through the most minute processes of manufacturing add sight seeing, it has been said that the pictures are as educational as an actual trip through a cheese factory or a vacation spent In Yellowstone Park. Another result Is the broadened view of the student who attends the programs. Many of the film touch upon subjects that students do not study in regular class work, but the films are also adapted to the lines of work In which students are most interested. Such films as portray the processes of glass manufacture, weaving of textiles and the steps in orange growing both broaden the ordinary student and assist and emphasized the work of the home economics, biology, chemistry, and physics departments.

Then too. when one is counting the benefits there Is this little matter of recreation.

Andrew Carnegie used to fake great delight in tolling a fable to em-phasize the disadvantages of Inherited wealth. It concerned an old Scotch deer hound. This old hound had worked hard all his life chasing and catching deer. In his latter days he determined that his children should not be obliged to work so hard in order to live and be happy, He could not bear the thought that they should have to tire and strata themselves as he had done. So he gathered together great herds of deer and drove them into a park surrounded by a high fence. Then he conducted his puppies Inside tho enclosure, where they might eat deer at their leisure, without having to race all over the country to catch them, Having arranged his family affairs In this highly satisfactory manner, the well-meaning old deer hound laid down and died happy.

young hounds, or course, lolled Idly about the park. There was no compelling necessity for their hunting or exerting themselves In any way. and besides It was so much pleasanter to lie around in the sun. or In the shade, according to the season and sleep and dream—the monotony of their existence being varied now and then by vicious fights themselves. As a result, they ate too much meat, their muscles grow weak and flabby, they got the mange, and in a short time they all perished miserably.

One only needs to scan the newspapers to realise that Carnegie's fable is being enacted in human life almost daily. The richest heritage a man can bequeath to his children is not a huge ready-made fortune, but those qualities of heart and mind and body that will Inspire, urge and enable them to create their own fortunes. Perhaps Carnegie was right-In believing that the only way in which great wealth can prove a blessing to its owner when he himself has ceased to see It in his work, is to give it away in such a manner that the greatest number of others less fortunate may profit by it.—Selected.

Wall, when I first started to school last fall they called me a two-seated buggy! My days at good old M. C. are soon to be at an end— about 22 days yet! I must make a confession, that though my master left me out in the cold, breezie, dewy, stormy, snowy, rainy, etc. weather I have enjoyed my stay at the grand old college.

I never go to class, but I know a plenty. In fact, I could he called a “gossiper" or else one, of those

LIBRARY GETS BOOKS

Office of Education Sends Interesting Monographs

The library has received some very interesting monographs from the Office of Education of the Department of the interior: "Research Problems In School Finance". "Articulation of High Schools and Colleges". “Nursery Schools in the United States".

English”. “Music and Art". "Mathematics,” and "Science." The above publications will be of particular Interest to the "budding” teachers of the institution.

Another book which has been received by the library as a gift from the Near East Relief Association is

It seems as If Prof. Blair's chapel talk on “Who Should Enter the Teaching Profession" wan almost out of place, or possibly Just satirical. Front the number of positions that have been offered to students one would begin to think that no one should take up the profession.

When Bright said that a man had gone to "the happy hunting ground", Ogden was wondering later If he had died.

Even Blair himself suggests that he is fit for the absent-minded column. Friday he calmly skipped a class—oh unintentionally of course. When students greeted him with a reminding word, he was somewhat nonplussed. He says he has often been surprised to walk Into his room and find a class awaiting him.

guys that get In on all the news—a newspaper reporter. Well. I’m not quite one of those things yet though I am telling the news.

Remember the night of the Swede-Bulldog basketball name? Wed. I think I served my purpose for that night. Yea! The people In me seemed to set a big kick out of me! Honest-ly they blinked my eyes and made me squeak and holler so much I almost needed some cough syrup next morning.

Then do you remember back last fall when my—I mean our—college played Wichita Friends In football! Sure I was them! A loyal Bulldog, I was.

The other night three pairs—I mean three couples—were in myself when I decided to fool them—also scare 'em! I went zissssss—Bang!! Yea, a blowout! and were they mad! I'm afraid I didn’t realise that the words they said weren't In Margaret Heckethorn's Now International or Webster's or Wagnalls or Wiggles or — anyway I've heard something about a dictionary In the library.

The other day the cutest boy and girl came and sat In my front seat. I overheard the sweetest conversation. Then another guy came up and dropped himself on my running hoard or side flaps! Soon some more students congregated at my sides and I was fairly well monopolized!

One night a mess of males dominated my control—and how they controlled me! I'll say—I thought the way I went down the street my sides would never stick to the middle of me. and my wheels felt like going In all opposite directions.

The other day my stomach began to growl and I get so thirsty! Yea. I needed gas and oil! I wouldn’t mind hitting it on a now spark plug either once In a while! Anyhow I'm content with at least one gallon of gas and I traveled some more.

We have a Quilting Bee or Ladies Aid out back of the dorms every night. By "we" I mean the other cans. Fords, and buggies! Do wo tell what has happened! Really we know more about the dates than any date bureau! And how wo enjoy It! We can only talk "car language" or I might let you in on a thing or three! What—my master calls. I hope he washes my Fisher Body. I hate this Kansas mud—It's almost as bad as the master's girl friend's gum which she pastes on my upholstering or steering gear—too bad I haven't got a bed post.—Well, I guess I'll be seeing you later!

BANQUET IS SUCCESS

(Continued from Page One) A tribute worthy of the Democratic president was paid by the Republican governor In his speech when he said. "We are In as critical a state as this country has been In In times of war. We should stand by and support the president of the United States today as we did during the World War. I admire his courage and willingness to tackle the Job."

He prophesied that the influence of McPherson College in years to come would be beyond estimation. in closing, the governor addressed Dr. Schwalm and said. "You are fortunate In having a community to rally to your cause as this community has done.”

President V. F. Schwalm then spoke a word for the college. He expressed the Idea that the college aim Is education given under the auspices of religion. “If the denominational college is at an end, then God pity America. My humble faith is that America will come back to. the Christian college. It is time America takes stock of the direction la which It is taking. Colleges are going to pat Christian character Into practice. McPherson College will continue this practice." Dr. Schwalm said.

The college male quartet, composed of Warner Nettleton. Wayne Carr. Harvey Shank, and Chris Johansen, sang a number and responded with an encore.

W. T. Markham, state superinte-dent of schools, stated his belief in the educational system of Kansas and that the schools were determined to carry on despite the depression, Markham expressed his pleasure of the school. Its faculty, and the student body.

Then Leslie Edmonds, a prominent figure in Kansas sport circles, briefly spoke of the Importance of education and religion. Edmonds commended the college upon Its athletic coach. Melvin J. Binford, who. he said teaches character along with athletics.

LIVING PICTURE IS PORTRAYED IN CHAPEL

the “Story of Near East Relief (1915-1939)." by James L. Barton. This work is a narrative of American philanthropy, the story of the Near East Relief.

Campaign stories continue to thrive. Consider for a moment, the lassie who. In an Informal conversa-tion asked a certain male for his vole for her particular candidate. Yeah, he'd vote for said nominee if she (the campaigner) would take a date to the big banquet with him.—Sorry. she already had a date!

No siree, you can't bribe votes! Regardless, the man in the above story had already decided to vote for the said candidate.

The weather's lovely—at least one ran walk along, swinging his arms, and inhaling the fresh air—until suddenly a whiff of the refinery odor hits his nostrils—It's all over. The day Isn't nearly so grand! '

Now that all our vacations are past It Is about time for someone to begin agitation about an all school picnic.

Now Corrine and Don have gone and done It! We were almost afraid the year would pass with no romances culminating in the usual way. Now everyone is asking If Corrine will he in school next year.

We hear that the Shanks are "that way" too—already. But they haven't seen fit, yet we guess, to announce It.

I had planned on “doing" Europe and the Mediterranean this summer, hut after a careful scrutiny of my purse I found that I lacked about seven hundred and sixteen dollars of having the necessary seven hundred and seventeen dollars that the travel bureau demanded. That was three weeks ago nod now I don't even have the one spot.

I'm rather glad I changed my mind though, it set me to looking about our campus and I find that I've seen some things that were no doubt just as good as I would have seen abroad and I didn't have to pay, for It either.

One thing I've wanted to see (and also her) is one of these animals called Romeo. After my disappointment in not getting to go where they really lived I made a careful search through both encyclopedias, three unabridged dictionaries, and Shakes-peare's "Love's Labor Lost." From these I gained a set of rules and characteristics by which to recognise The Romeo species of lady-killer and after a careful reconaissance of the campus found my Ideal In "Tuffy" (Wine Women and Song)

Being a member of the weaker sex I have always admired strong men and so I felt that If I could get out into the world and really discover one for my very own I might possibly find one In our own school. Accordingly I procured the measurements of this year's Olympic cham-pion and you may imagine how surprised and delighted I was to discover that Willard Brammel fitted Into them Just like they had been his own. Oh. how I should like to lay my curly head on his manly breastbone.

I've always wanted to go to dear Old England too, but after that Thespian play I really think I could he satisfied with either Freddie or Donnie. Just Imagine the cold chills that would chase each other over my vertebrae Joints If either of those chappies should grab me like they grabbed 'em the other night. I wouldn't be half as particular as those girls were either. You know I didn't sleep nearly all night for thinking about those two boys. J was especially afraid Freddie would be sick from eating so much. I know the best cure for stomach ache too.

Then there's Germany. From the time I was a teeny-weeny little girl I always did think I'd like to go there. I changed my mind though after Teuton made his oration In the dining hall. I'd rather stay here and listen to him. My heart Just turns over and climbs way up high In my throat when that little Dutcher comes around. I'm going to fall In love with him some day. Won't he be surprised?

I’ve got to go to bed now 'cause matron says it's about ten thirty, but I'll tell you more about what I discovered when the lights come back on.

Cop: "Well. I guess I might as well go home. I don't seem to be doing much good here."—Exchange.
