There were twenty-six of ns Inside the car. We had had no trouble getting In at the yards. A brakeman noted us and gave us orders to keep the doors closed while passing through towns. "If you don't the conductor'll kick you into the middle of Hades." he remarked and passed on.

I stood close to the door. It was my first trip as a bum and I think I was a bit nervous as to the character of the motley crew around me. Up the track the locomotive tooted twice and a lean Individual with pig eyes and bulbous nose croaked. "Highball." As he spoke there was a succession of sharp rattles ahead of as, a sudden lurch that catapulted mo Into the middle of the car where I lay momentarily with the wind knocked out of me.

bewhiskered man observed and grinned cheerily. I nodded and sat up. "You've got to look out when trains start. Ruddy. Brace yourself when you hear two whistles and above all keep out of open doors. Sometimes they close. I saw a chap got his brains smashed out last week.

I accepted the advice humbly. There was no more conversation only a hard Jolting and deafening rattle as the wheels bumped over the rail Joints. Our speed Increased and in a few moments the car was vibrating terribly. Men clung onto the sides of the car and each other, stood up on their toes and flexed their knees to counteract the shaking. The racket was terrible and for a little bit I looked forward to absolute misery on a three-hundred mile trip. As the din grew worse and worse I heartily wished I was buck in the

The committee in charge of the sneak who made the successful arrangements for a clean getaway were Newell Wine, Wheeler Kurtz, and Elizabeth Bowman. They notified the members of the class, and made ar-rangements for entertainment, transportation. and refreshments.

Prof. Alvin C. Voran. the class sponsor, and his wife accompanied the Juniors on their sneak.

PRINCIPLES STUDENTS PORTRAY MASTERPIECE

The Monday evening church service of the Brethren Church, arranged by the Christian Endeavor, was both novel and Impressive. The outstanding feature of the program was the portrayal of Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper" by the dramatic art department of the college.

A suitable background (or an appreciation of this dramatization was supplied by a talk given by the president of the Christian Endeavor. Royal Frantz. who pointed out the general nature of Christian Endeavor and that Leonardo da Vinci's picture was one example of exalted Christian Endeavor.

Mary Miller, as a preliminary to the picture, read "Number Six", a story based upon the painting of au-other artist's "Last Supper". The actual history of da Vinci's "Last Sup-per" was given by Miss Della Lehman. which was followed Immediately by the dramatization of the picture. A perfect Illusion was created as the characters seated at one long (able held their pose for an Instant. The action of the story was carried out ns Carol Whitcher read from off the stage the Biblical account of Christ's last supper.

Those taking part In the program were Clarice Evans, who played the part of the Christ, and Faithe Ket-terman. who represented Judas. The other disciples were portrayed by Margaret Oliver. Mary Miller. Blanch Harris, Maxim Ring, Willard Brammell. Clarence Sink. Martha Hursh. Ada Brunk. Glen Hammann. Milton Early, and Lola Richwine.

REPLOGLE DISCUSSES UNEMPLOYMENT MORALS

Dean F. A. Replogle addressed the student body Wednesday. May 3. His topic was "How Can a Person though Unemployed Keep front Moral Deterioration?"

The person who degenerates morally and mentally during a crisis has been in the process of doing so before the crisis came around. Some people do not "go to pieces" In a crisis, nor would they In employ-ment. They have prepared before the disaster.

One hears the capitalists and politicians blamed for the distressing state. Naturally, those who are the farthest removed are more likely to be blamed.

Dean Replogle asked the question "If you know definitely that you would be disabled in eighteen mouths and could not work, what would you do?” Again, one’s previous life would have much to do in such a situation.

Some people will not make the un-mployment adjustment until the crisis is all over; the same Is true of the depression. If the depression were lifted, one half of the unemployed would still go on without work.

FILMS TONIGHT IN CHAPEL

The films or visual education which will be shown in the college chapel this evening are on "Nutrition and Dental Health" and "The Story of Bakelite Resinoid".

The picture shows which are given free every Wednesday evening have been attracting large crowds. Those shown last week were "The Land of Cotton". "Food Shot from Guns", and “The Yoke of the Past".

Another man noted the puzzled took on my face and observed. "They always do that when they reach fifteen miles an hour. Then it's nice ridin'."

I fell relieved. Over In a corner a mouth harp started "Golden Slippers". I looked and saw a negro boy of about fifteen blowing for dear life.

WHY NOT SING COLLEGE SONG!

Having read and heard that the editorial column is a plane In which student opinion should be expressed, we have decided to expound upon a subject. Why doesn't the McPherson College student body learn the words of the college song and then be given the privilege to sing it?

We estimate that we have not sung all of the song once this year and it it not habitual for us to skip chapel and pep chaple. Chances are a freshie could not repeat the first stanza and again chances are a senior couldn't say all of the stanzas.

It would certainly show a little more loyalty and college spirit to ha able to sing al of the song. than merely being able to mumble through the first stanza and the chorus.

The fault seemingly does not lie with the music director. He tries to conduct the students when an attempt is made to sing the song. All it will take is a little Individual initiative and practice.

No one's menial capacities will be taxed to the limit In memorizing the song, so why not start out the 1933-'34 school year the right way and learn to sing. "Although out on broad Kansas plains —"

—A student thinker.

“What the Y. M. C. A. can do on our campus." was the subject discussed by two Senior men In Tues-day morning's Y. M. program. Lil-burn Gottmann, ex-president of the college Y. M. C. A., spoke of the function, of the local organization in crystallizing student opinion, bringing outside a speakers,. and sponsoring conference, for student benefit. Gottmann showed how speakers brought to this, campus by the Y. M. C. A. have meant much and have had a vital contribution to the value of his college career.

Ward William, said that the value of the Y. M. C. A. program must be measured in terms of the contribution It makes to students. He spoke on the high value of one’s having the best Christian objectives in life, and showed bow the Y. M. C. A. can aid one In maintaining a righteous purpose.

Vernon Rhoades was In charge of devotions, and led the group on opening prayer.

A SENIOR SPEAKS

It has been a great year. Despite the fact that shiny suit and runners in hose have been exceedingly more prevalent on the campus this year than over before since we have been here we are moved to declare It the most successful year of our college Ufa. Successful? Yes. Student have been more friendly, more ready to help the other follow—and speaking of cooperation. have you ever seen such a working out of the Idea of "public own-ership" In the matter of textbooks? Have you ever seen a mora economic social life? And yet we have hud a good time. Our ingenuity has been taxed but we have met every issue happily. Friendships have been deepend and extended as never before. It has been a grant year. It has seemed that material depression has strengthened friendship and cooperation and appreciation.—A Senior.

WHY GRADE?

Occasionally one sees a student whose sole objective, it seems, is to make a grade. He strives for an "A" grade and loses the thing that the grade is supposed to represent.

Do not criticize the student who wished to do good work. As a rule good grade will represent good work, but not always. Many students who consciously work with the aim of making a grade without work are doing themselves harm.

It will be the peraon with ability that will succeed after be leaves college rather than the one to attempted to make the honor roll by other than honest work.—E. S.

SHOULD THEY GO TO COLLEGE?

Right now, when thousand, of Kansas boy, and girls' are rapidly nearing the end of their high school training, the perplexing question arises, "Should they go to college?" Many who have no business there will go. Others who should go to college will be unable to attend, for one rea-son or another.

In the current Issue of Kansas Industrialist, Pres. F. D. Farrell. Kan-sas State College, offers the following bit of advice to those who are try-ing to decide the "college question":

"A constructive service that a college graduate may render to his Alma Mater, to public welfare and to the young people concerned is to encourage able and earnest high school seniors to go to college. An finally Important service is to help these young people to develop sane attitudes regarding the purposes, the benefits, the limitation, and the requirements of genuine college education.

"This spring. because of economic conditions. the question whether to go on to college is an unusually difficult one for many high school seniors. College graduates may he helpful to these seniors In deciding this Important question. The following fact might well be discussed with superior high school seniors by college graduates who wish to render a useful ser-vice:

1. High school seniors have • ^,,Life expectancy" of about 43 more years. welfare and happiness during three years is profoundly Influ-enced by what they do in the five or all years following graduation from high school.

5. Most people who do not enter college soon after finishing high school never go to college at all.

3. Very few, if any. people regret having gone to college. Tens of thousands. when It is too late, regret that they did not go.

4. By enriching one's life and increasing one's value as a citizen. col-lege education provides great benefits In addition to its effects on economic earning capacity.

5. Following each previous economic depression there has been a greater demand far college-trained men and women than there was before the depression began. *

6. The necessary cost of going to college is lower now than It has been for many years.

A large proportion of people who have finished college have been able to do so because they and their parent, have made immediate sacrifices for the sake of future benefits.

"Alumni wishing to be helpful to young people should recognize that not all high achool graduates should go to college. But superior graduates should. If a student has completed creditably the entrance requirement, if standard college and of he has acquired good mental, physical and moral habits. any necessary investment of time, money and work that he devotes sincerely to college education will pay him sat isfactory dividends. In material rewards and spiritual values."—The Garden City Daily Tele-gram.

DR. SCHWALM SPEAKS OF FINANCES AND MORALS

Reviews Personalities of Presi-dents in Chapel

President V. F. Schwalm spoke on the present financial and moral situation In chapel Monday. May 8,

Dr. Schwalm reviewed the personalities and beliefs of several of the presidents and in so doing showed the decline In the moral attitude of the world. Theodore Roosevelt was an Indomitable man who waged a war against evils. For him life was never dull. He was followed by William Howard Taft who was a good man personally, but much too mild and easy-going for the presidency.

Next came the great Woodrow Wilson who continued where Roosevelt had left off. HU Inaugural address was a call to battle. During his administration laws were passed to control big business. After the war came Warren G. Harding who wild. "Let us return to normal", which In reality meant to relax from the ideals of Roosevelt's and Wilson's time.

In the past few years educational advance has not been apparent. The moral decline is not believed to be permanent, but is dependent upon the attitude of the younger generation.

Far too many are boys who have run away from home, Perhaps they are foolish. but there is always a story of maladjusted family relations. Others are criminals fleeing from authority. No doubt some of them are detectives following murderers or gangsters. One had a suitcase full of booze.

And as I became acquainted with them I wondered what is wrong with our civilization that such conditions exist, that honest men must steal rides to support their families, that others must deliberately; do those tilings that make for deterioration of civilization. that some have plenty and others little. What Is back of It all? Are some men Inherently evil? Is there no hope for some? Are they born to be eternally damned? I can not think so. There is, somewhere, an opportunity for everyone to become his best If given the chance and it seems to be the duty of those of us who are placed so that we have that opportunity to do all In our power to give the same to others.

BUM EXPERIENCES

a guitar of his native land, and twen-ty-four of us listening In rapt attention. How they played, those two. They adlibbed and did everything known to music.

Requests followed thick and fast. Swanee River, My Bonnie, La Palo-ma. Wearin' o' the Green and Die Lorelie. The men betrayed their nationalities by their songs.

And so the time passed. Songs, stories, and as night came on with Its chill we gathered wrapping paper from the car floor and made our beds. At one stop we stole some firewood and built a fire on a sheet of steel filched at the some town. One of us kept watch for trainmen though.

No one even missed the Juniors last Monday until Dr. Schwalm tried to find some one to lead the singing In chapel. "Where's Mr. Voran?" Dr. Schwalm’s question made It evident that at least some of the Important members on the campus were missing. “Cheesy" Voran, Junior class sponsor, had sneaked out with the rest and Harvey Shank was drafted In as song leader.

We hear that on Saturday night In Wichita, some of the kids who went to the “Y" cabinet training conference saw Lester Pote and Everett Fasnacht on a street car .

While theorists are still searching for the causes of the depression, and politicians remain at loggerheads In their effort to conjure up remedies, I am templed to think that the perplexed business man might discover a possible solution of his troubles If he would Just spend a few days In his wife's kitchen,

"For Instance;

“Mr. Jones Is a modern captain of Industry, Mrs. Jones Is an Intelligent woman who knows more than the average about economics and has the knack of seeing things through to their essentials. She had often discussed business problems with her husband, and had endeavored without success to win him to her point of view. At last she persuaded her husband that he owed It to humanity to demonstrate the correctness of his Ideas by applying them to the home—the one field which men had not yet touched with their organizing genius.”

Read the article, and see what happened when Mr. Jones got In the kitchen: how he made ten cakes at once, because It took less time and trouble than one did when his mother made It; how he raised his wife's Irony when he wasted time which would have been utilized at his office; and how he set out to show them methods of officiency, organization, and mass production, at a charity dinner the women of the town were giving; and why he changed his mind about economy.—Bookworm.

ANNUAL CONFERENCE

MEET TO BE MAY 13

Usually Fast Contest—Will Be Held at Baldwin

Saturday. May 13. the annual conference track and field meet will be held at Baldwin. This Is usually a fast meet and this year several of the schools have some outstanding men which should make the meet an unusually good one.

Baker has won thu conference meet for several years In the past and they have a good team again this year.

Kansas Wesleyan and Ottawa have proven that they have exceptionally strong teams this season and will probably show up well In the conference meet. These three teams appear to be the strongest with good men in every event and some especially good men In some events.

Couch Binford plans to take a few men from the Bulldog track and field team to this meet to represent McPherson College. Because of financial and other reasons probably only a very few of the squad will make the trip. Rock and Zinn will go to this meet, but it is a question as to whether any others will go and also as to who It would be. It will also be decided later whether or not any tennis men will represent McPherson In the conference meet.

BETHANY COLLEGE WINS TENNIS MATCH MONDAY

Bethany college won the tennis match that was hold In connection with the triangular track meet here on Monday. The tennis matches were held on a point basis and the Swedes won with a total of seven points while McPherson scored five points and Bethel was last with no points.

The Swedes seemed to have the best, balanced team and thus won the point decision although the Bethany team lost a few matches. The doubles team of Kelly and Austin of McPherson won over the Swede learn of Bowen and Bruce. Willman of Bethany won from Gottmann of McPherson In a good hard fought match.

Coach Melvin J. Binford has done some great work with this year’s track squad Starling this spring with only a few seasoned men, he now has developed a pretty good team as was shown in the recent triangular track and field meet. More than anything coach has a buuch working for him.

Rock and Zinn, both veterans In the weight events have shown up well as they were expected to do. Early has been running some good races in the short dashes. Williams and Wiggins have been gathering In points In their events much as they did In previous years. These men have all done well, but they were lettermen and were expected to do that.

Some new material has been found and the beat has surely been gotten out of these fellows. Probably an outstanding feat of one of the new men is the high jumping of the dim-

inutive Custer. It will be remembered that recently the set a new school record In the high Jump at ‘5 foot, 9 1/2 Inches. Hayes with no previous track experience now runs good races In the 100- and 220-yard dashes.

In the last meet Pauls earned a letter by placing first In the shot put. In the middle distance races and long runs some real work has been done by the new men. Ones Included In this group arc Reinecker. Buskirk. Pote, Fasnacht, and Heckman. The two Johnston brothers have also shown up well In track this season.

The tennis men have also done very well this spring and should get their duo praise. The Swedes captured honors In the triangular affair Monday, but the Bulldogs divided honors with them last week. Anyway Gott-mann, Tice, Austin, and Kelly de-serve praise for their work. It sounds as though the spring sports arc being given quite a boost in this column but It appears that they have It coming.

Coach Binford says that possibly the Bulldogs will engage in another track meet after the conference meet. Possibly It will be another triangular meet with Bethel and Friends being the other schools entered. Anyway It seems very probable that another meet will be scheduled.

Not many students stop to road such magazines as Scribner's. The English Journal, and the Atlantic Monthly. Usually they are satisfied with the American, the Good Housekeeping, or the Country Gentleman. Those wo do read the former find them as entertaining as anything they ever read. For example:

The Atlantic Monthly for August 1932. contains some good advice to the girls of M. C. who are engaged, or are planning to be. I would advise their "Intendeds" to read it. also, so that the girls won't put anything over on them.

"Our Grandmothers had yo perform a tremendous amount of dreary drudgery In managing their homes. They were kept busy from morning till night, for those were the days when a woman's work was never done. Since then, however, the machine ago has come upon us, transforming the home no less surely than the factory. In consequences the modern woman enjoys a degree of leisure which her grandmother could hardly have dared to dream of.

"Few of as seem to have grasped the significance of this new leisureliness which has come to grace our households. As a matter of plain fact, what women have done with labor-saving machinery In the home is exactly the reverse of what men have done with It In their factories and offices.
