COMMENCEMENT
MONDAY
Charles Hackett is one of the most popular tenors of the Metropolitan Opera. He appears in McPherson next winter in Joint concert recital with Miss Hilda Burke, also of the Metropolitan, on the McPherson Cooperative Concert Association series.
Naylor 'And Gibson Relate To Students The Conception Of Play.
Kurtis Naylor spoke on "The Recreational Program of the Church" in B. Y. P. D. Sunday evening. Helen Deane Gibson, in the devotional period preceding the talk, quoted from ‘Victorious Living" by E. Stanley Jones to show how recreation and religion should be related.
Kurtis showed first of all how Jesus, like all other children and young people, enjoyed play. Then he explained that the Church of the Brethren has unique beliefs concerning the recreation of young people, that it is opposed to commercialized amusements and because of this, there has to be something to take the place of these forms of activity. The ability to choosy wisely between these different types of recreation is one criterion upon which we base our judgment of young people.
The interest of the church is greatly increasing in training young people for leadership in recreation program building, both in the church and in our collcges. A well-balanced recreational program builds up the individual, the family, and the church.

Dean Tips Off Upper Classmen
Dr. E. K. Hillbrand Speaks To Juniors and Seniors At Banquet
Friday. May 13. marks the date of the spring banquet at which the members of the Senior Class were guests of the Junior class at the Hawley Roof Garden.
Dr. E. K. Hillbrand, Dean of extension Division, of Wichita Univer-sity was the speaker of the evening and brought to his audience a most, interesting address.
Taking advantage of this date, Friday 13. on which day superstition is prevalent, a unique and clever program was planned. Thirteen people were seated at each table—a sign of death. Consequently. William Thompson, toastmaster, led the members of both classes and the guests "Across the Styx" and took them on a trip through Hades—and safely back again. To make things oven more realistic. Mr. Thompson broke a mirror to start the program, which was as follows:
Charno, the boatman —.............
........................W. P. Thompson
Stygian Waves ......Frances Campbell
The Bark of Cerberus -....................
___________________ A. B. Saathoff
The Words of Palinurus ............
........................................H. Mohler
Voices from Elysian Fields ...........—
.......................Male Quartette
Address: ......... Dr. E. K. Hillbrand
The table decorations were made to off-set the ill-effects the evening. The color scheme was green and gold. Place cards were gold horse-shoes and the nutcups were decorated with four-leaf clovers. The programs were gold printed with green, and to each person was given a rabbit foot as a good luck charm. In the center of the speakers table was a large horseshoe made of carnations and sweet peas dyed a yellow-gold. The rest of the tables were adorned with bowls of mixed sweet peas.
The guests of the evening were Dr. and Mrs. Hillbrand of Wichita. Prof. R. E. Mohler, Dr. and Mrs. J. D. Bright,, and Mrs. W. P. Astle.
Violin Recital Popular
Francos Campbell, violinist was presented in recital last Monday night by the McPherson College Department of Music. Miss Campbell played with a mature stylo and gave her listeners the impression that she thoroughly understood music. Her tone was smooth and expressive and her technique to meet the severe demands of the difficult music. Miss Lucile Cilery, at the piano, provided a sympathetic background at all times. This is the second recital that Miss Campbell has given at McPherson College, and it was felt by the listeners at Monday nights program that she had made creditable improvement in her work this year. The program follows: attached.
Norman Kreuger and Jonathan Hamersley late Friday night turned the college telescope on the total eclipse of the moon. Although clouds covered the moon the larger share of the time, there were breaks in the clouds at intervals never lon-ger than twenty minutes.
Once when the moon was cloud covered the telescope was aimed at Jupiter with its four moons in a straight row. (Imagine fellows directly over Kline Hall) Prof. Bowman, who must believe it is better to rise early than to stay up late, came in the early morning hours to view the eclipse. Although not an ideal observation time, the astronomers were pleased with what they got to see.
There were also several reports of other students who viewed the eclipse with the naked eye. When the clouds parted an excellent view of the moon could be obtained.

Addition to New Gym
Right Wing To Be Added Trustees Decide At Meeting.
Plans are rapidly being made to make McPherson College one of the outstanding modern institutions of the state.
President V. F. Schwalm announced to the student assembly that the right wing will be added to the gymnasium, as decided by the college trustees. This addition will make the gymnasium complete as drawn by the architects. A stage will be built and the new addition will be used by the dramatic and music students. This gymnasium promises to be one of the finest in the state and will be completed about August 1.
With almost an unanimous acclaim the student body volunteered to help raze the old gymnasium. Work began yesterday and with the present rapid progress the work will be completed by Tuesday of next week. Plans are being formed to build an industrial arts department building behind Kline hall with the valuable cement blocks taken from the old gymnasium.
New Boys' Dormitory
Also within a possible span of two years McPherson College will either have a completely remodeled men’s dormitory or a new structure. If the dormitory is remodeled the top floor will be torn off and the two lower floors will be done over and modernized. The basement will be made into apartments and the indus-trial art quarters will be moved to a new structure.
Also a committee under the direction of Dr. John Boitnott, are planning drastic curricula revision for next year. Plans are also underway to hire an extra librarian to aid in the increased library load. So with the present developments McPherson College can look ahead with great expectation toward an even greater McPherson College.

Official Student Publication of McPherson College, McPherson, Kansas. Published every Friday during the school year by the Student Council.
during the latter part of the week, when the strain of trying to be funny is momentarily over. . . .And yet, the task has had its rewards. It has been a lot of fun writing, whether anyone else saw the point of the joke or not; there has been much good fellowship with students and teachers who have gone out of their way to voice encouragement and appreciation; there have been opportunities to help others, and ho who helps another makes his own reward; there have been opportunities for leadership, and for them I am grateful. I want to express my appreciation in particular to the editor of the Spectator and his staff for their generous cooperation in making this possible, to Prof. Dell for persistent encouragement, to Dr. Schwalm for alternate criticism and applause, and to all the rest of you for whose names I have not space, but whose jibes, laughter, suggestions, and sympathy have been indes-pensable. I have but one regret: that I have not been able to do the job better.
But while I am passing the sweets of appreciation there is one more person I must not forget, and that is the girl for whom I was lonely when the school became "Henrietta" conscious. the girl who has since furn

Well, this is my swan song for I have finished my course. After three years of constant endeavor to bring amusement, insight, and diversion to the student body and life to the pages of its official paper, I must lay down my typewriter and leave my task, poorly done and unfinished, to the hands of some other adventurer, who will, I hope, improve upon it. The work began with a poor, uncouth, maladjusted Freshman, torn between the new views and new friends of college and the old ideas and the old girl-friend of Pumpkin Center, anyone's home town. Eventually marriage to the hometown girl having cured some of the maladjustment, he progressed through a more sophisticated under-classmanship to a perhaps undefin-able position as a Senior. Sometimes it has been a hard pull to bring "College Daze" through the transitions, for as maladjustments are corrected it becomes ever more difficult to find adequate material about which to write. And now I come to the end of the way.
In many ways it has been n difficult and somewhat thankless task, this trying to interpret school life in a way which would be both thought and smile provoking. However far I may have wandered from them, in

the background have been some basic principles and purposes, such as: to take a positive stand for my convictions and trade spats with anyone who disputed them; to point out and blast at error; to challenge all-found, ed claims, whether made by student, professor, or outsider; to stink a pin in every false balloon; to see the sunny side of life; to make light of minor misfortunes and to face bigger ones constructively; to give praise where (and only where) duo; to lend a hand where needed; to maintain and promote a wholesome philosophy of life; to be incisive, but kind; in short, to do my bit toward creating a wholesome college atmosphere. I have even worked rather half-heartedly toward correcting journalistic practices of our school sheet.
A rather thankless task? Yes, and an almost endless one, for it is no more than finished until it is here waiting to be done all over again. There have been times (as you per-haps have realized), when I have had to write although there was nothing to say. I am always in better spirits ished the home interest and helped to bear the burdens and lighten the shocks which come to a farmer— thresherman —student—preacher — philosopher —scientist— economist — politician—pundit—columnist — and what-have-you.

Her name is not Henrietta; she just happened to be “Henrietta” to me, and received credit and blame for a host of conduct which did not be-long to her. And so I express my appreciation to as good a partner as any man ever had to my sweetheart and wife, Agnes Black Bower.
To all the rest, au revoir, merci. —John D. Bower, (alias Gordon B. Green)
TO COME OUT ON TOPSIS
So plan that when thy summons calls to Join.
With others to take the finals of the year
Go not like the foolish Freshman scared of his outcome
But approach thy "zams" a “stute" who has the answers
On ties or other things around about him
Then writes a paper that's reams and reams.
With all respects to Bryant.

Herman Miller Bowman—“Her-nle” joined the class in the middle of the semester to graduate with it after summer school. He has taught art and is quite an artist himself.
Thad B. Fretz—Thad left during the last semester to become principal of the Windom Grade School, but he will graduate with the class. His major is in industrial arts.

Flory was active in sports and lettered in basketball.

All School's Day was quite a treat. One has the feeling which comes on days when the Fair is inviting. ; For some it was a day of catching up on sleep, lessons and work: but for others it was a day of jollity and fun. The dances were exceptionally well given; the parade was thrilling: but I hate to see all the little grade children march down the street, making them all timed out before the day of adventure for them has even started.
