Speaking on the subject "Making Much Out of Little" Reverend Lynn Lyon, pastor of the Christian Church, spoke to the chapel mem-bers Wednesday morning. Taking as his text "the feeding of the multitude" by Jesus, the pastor challenged the audience to take what God has given them and with His help make great lives.

Taking Peter as an example as to what can be accomplished when a person concentrates his life to God. Reverend Lyon showed the steps in Peter's life and how he developed. Christian education can do much to develop a person’s life. At the present time and during the preceding years we have been making much out of little. We have lost the true sense of values.

A man’s life dedicated to the service of his fellow men can be made great.

Dr. Fleming introduced the speaker and Keith Burton led the singing.

Jack DuBois brought the group to silence with a prelude. A few warmup campfire songs were sung by the entire group assembled in the SUR. We all know that when the parents are away from home many things go on that are very unethical. Children seem to have a way of getting into mischief and, well—if you want to know what else they might do you should have been at SCA and heard Doris Lehman give a very entertaining and enlightening reading, "Mice at Play".

The more serious part of the program was begun by a solo by Don Scofield, "I Will Lift Up Mine Eyes,” composed by the well known song writer, Margery Watkins. Four Thanksgiving poems were read as follows: "Thanksgiving,’’ by Frances Petefish; "Here Is the Harvest,” by, Helen Thomas; "Thanks Be To God," by Idabelle Ward; and “We Give Thee Thanks,” by Ruth Mer-key. Wilmer Brubaker then read Psalms 19:1-6 with added comments inviting our attention to the wonders of the heavens and how we ought to show our appreciation and thanks for the same. "O Lord of Heaven and Earth and Sea,” sung by six girls: Mary Vancil, Dorothy Grove, Waltine West, Ruth McMurray, Esther Van Buskirk, and Margaret Bechtold, proved to be a fitting close to such a program with the benediction by Brubaker being given as the girls again hummed the tune.

Lewis W. Naylor of Holmesville Nebraska, graduated from McPherson College with the class of 1922For twenty years “Lewis proved him self a successful school teacher and administrator, but the urge to preach finally caught up with him and he gave up a splendid administrative position to become pastor of the South Beatrice Church of the Brethren, a position that he holds today The Naylors have three children Kurtis, Kirk, and Kent. Kurds and Kirk are both graduates of McPher son College. Kent is a junior in the college. The loyalty of an alumnus can well be measured by the attitude that Lewis takes when it comes, time to send his own sons to college. Measured by this rule, the Naylors are true alumni. The Naylors may well be proud of their three splendid sons. Kurds is at the present time a student in Bethany Biblical Seminary after having spent three and one half years in Quito, Equador, where he was doing relief work for Brethren Service. Kirk is a major in the air corps, and Kent promises to do no less than his older brothers.

In addition to being an excellent teacher, administrator and preacher, Lewis has found time to specialize in a most interesting and profitable hobby, that of cabinet making. Needless to say. but Lewis is a busy man, and always finds something to do.

Miss Doris Greaves, traveling secretary of the World Student Service Fund, spoke at the chapel service Monday, November 12.

Telling of the experiences of three students in foreign countries, she appealed to McPherson College students to support the WSSF drive which will he conducted on McPherson College campus shortly after Christmas.

Now is the time American students can help to rebuild a new world. Reconstruction can be helped. in part, by contributing to the WSSF which enables students in foreign countries to continue their education.

Geraldine Hedges, one of the co-chairmen of the SCA, conducted the worship service. Keith Burton led the hymn singing.

Dean J. W. Boitnott was in charge of the chapel service in the absence of Dr. Peters.

There has been an increase in enrollment of our college recently. Lyle Klamm of Detroit, Kansas, Ronald Moyer, Hutchinson, Kansas, Franklin Flory from Idaho and Max Morris from Galva, Kans., have enrolled. Ronald and Franklin were freshmen here last year, but did not begin school at the beginning of this year’s term because they had gone with cattle and horses to Europe. Lyle is an ex-servicemen as is Max.

At the end of the first week of school there were 174 regularly enrolled students. As of November 12 there were 193 compared with 170 on October, 194 4. At the present time there are 79 freshmen, 4 8 sophomores, 28 juniors and 27 seniors, 11 specials, and 81 pre-college students. Last year at this time there were 87 freshmen, 32 sophomores, 26 juniors, 17 seniors, 8 specials and 75 pre-college students.

The Meeting of the Joint Board at Elgin, Illinois, took a number of the faculty away from our campus this past week. Those going were Dr. Mohler, Dr. Metzler, President Peters, Professor Fisher, and Reverend Frantz. Dr. Mohler is national director of the Men’s Work, and attended the Adult Guidance meeting. Dr. Metzler, member of the General Board of Christian Education, also attended the meeting concerning relief. President Peters attended the General Education Board. Professor Fisher as chairman of the Music Church of the Brethren, worked on the new Brethren Hymnal.

On Monday evening Professor Fisher gave a lecture recital at the Bethany Biblical Seminary. The recital was entitled “Piano Masterpieces as Public Worship."

Now that “grades” are here, it’s time for students to start "beating their brains” and try to figure out the why and wherefore of the complicated grading system. If you got a “C” in something you thought you should have had a "B”—at least there probably is a good reason for it, and the reason is not because you forgot to take an apple to the teacher.

The McPherson system of grades, or at least the system which was presented many years ago and has not been recalled to the knowledge of anyone is the well known "bell-shaped curve” system. By that it is meant that 3% of the students should receive A. 22% B, 50% C, 22% D and 3% F. Add them up and you have 100%.

Another grading system is the ‘‘standard grading system” which is Printed below. Be it known—these are not hard and fast systems, each

teacher has a certain method, but the chances are if you qualify for an “A” according to the following outline, you will probably be in the top 3% of your class and there’s no doubt about it, if you’re way up there—you'll get an A.

Standard Grading System: Grade A-I 1. Scholarship—Strong, exceeding requirement of instructor. 2. Initiative — Contributions exceeding the assignment, showing independent resourcefulness. 3. Attitude—Positive benefit to class. 4. Cooperation—Forward in all group activities, constant and spontaneous. 5. Individual Improvement — marked and growing. Grade B—II l Accurate and complete, meeting all requirements of instructor. 2. Initiative— Good when stimulated by some desirable achievement. 3. Attitude— Proper and beneficial to group. 4. Cooperation—Good in group work. 5. Individual Improvement—Show

ing marks of progress and responding to stimulation. Grade C—III 1. Scholarship—Barely meeting assignments and showing evidence of need of encouragement. 2. Initiative—Uncertain and apparent only at times. 3. Attitude—Generally neutral hut not objectionable. 4. Cooperation— Not positive nor very effective and irregular. 5. Individual Improvement—Very ordinary, definite marks lacking. Grade D—IV 1. Scholarship—Not meeting all assignments and requirements of instructor. 2. Initiative—Lacking. 3. Attitude—Indifferent. 4. Cooperation—Just fair at times and lacking at other times. 5. Individual Improvement—Not

noticeable. Grade F—V Work unsatisfactory and is a failing grade and hence not defined. Frequently the grade W is used to indicate all assignments have not yet been completed.

Climaxing the Sadie Hawkins man hunt was the party in the SUR Friday evening with all the unfortunate males trudging along behind triumphant ladies who had captured their man by methods, fair or otherwise. Likewise the old maids and old bachelors wended their way to the party in a depressed or jubilant state of mind depending upon whether they were victims of fortunate or unfortunate circumstances.

Under the leadership of Tex Lob-ban the party started off with a parade of all the eligible bachelors. Paul Wagoner won the prize—a cake of Lifebouy soap! Next the old maids paraded with the prize being awarded to Edith Merkey—this time a rope to assist her in catching a man. And then the fun began with all the old maids blindfolded and turned loose to catch the bachelors! Finally all were caught and then came the grand parade with all the couples marching past the judges seat. Dr. and Mrs. Peters, Professor and Mrs. Dell and Gertrude Wilkins served as judges.

Several games were played with gleeful participation and cooperation.

A high spot in the evenings festivities was the refreshments of cider and doughnuts consumed with amazing rapidity. The outstanding feature on the program was the marriage ceremony performed by Mar-ryin’ Sam. The winners of the most appropriately dressed couple were presented with a bride’s bouquet and a ceremony befitting the occasion. Jerry Hedges and Susie Ikenberry, costumed to represent Mammy and Pappy Yokum, won this honor.

Other individuals worthy of note were Hairless Joe aptly portrayed by Pat Kennedy, the "jest" plain dogpatch garb of Dayton Rothrock as he trudged around in a barrel, the moronic appearance of pipe smoking Catherine Little, the browbeaten Dale Brown led on a rope by domineering Ma Jones and the unconventional dress of others helped to make the party one of the best of the year.

At the cheerleader election held on Thursday, November 15, Don Keim was elected to the position of cheerleader. Don is a freshman from Idaho and he will fill the vacancy created when William Shepherd, an-other Idaho boy, left school.

A spirited campaign began in the SAR, where the ballyhoo speeches and individual exhibitions were given.

Other contestants were Phyllis Erb, from Iowa, and Ruth Brubaker from Idaho. The ballyhoo speakers were Charles Dumond for Ruth, Annette Ronk for Phyllis, and Dale Brown for Don. Blair Helman, president of the student body, presided at the exhibitions, and Kent Naylor was timekeeper and official paddle-swinger.

Eighty-nine votes were cast in the SUR where the voting took place. Student Council members officiated at the polls.

The McPherson College debate squads will participate in a debate at Bethel College Saturday, December 8. This practice tourney being held at Bethel is open to the colleges of this area and will consist of five rounds of debate. The entire Mac-College debate squad will take the trip as there is no limitation to the number of teams. The pairing of couples for teams has not been completed as yet.

The annual economy debate tournament held at McPherson has been planned for Saturday,’ January 5, 1916. This tournament is quite similar to the one mentioned above with the exception that it is an annual affair. In the past there have been from 30 to 60 teams participating in this debate, and it is looked forward to with anticipation.

At the Student Council meeting held on November 14, a committee for Home Coming was appointed Members are Mary B. Loshbaugh, Gertrude Wilkens, Jerry Mease, Dale Brown, and Kent Naylor.

Permission was granted to Profes-sor Fisher to place the music cabinet in the SAR as he sees fit. Permission was granted to the SCA to place a bookcase in the SUR for assortment of good books and SCA literature.

The need for the snack bar was further discussed. Students going to other schools were asked to inquire concerning their facilities and report back to the council.

It was announced that the drapery rods in the SAR are in the process of being put up.

Lessons in tame etiquette wen given to the students by Miss Mil dred Siek, professor of Home Econo mics, Tuesday and Wednesday noon of this week in the dining hall. Miss Sick was representing the Dining Hall Improvement Committee.

Each student was given a mimeographed list of rules, and Miss Siek read through them with the students, explaining rules that were not easily understood. Proper use of the napkin, proper use of silverware, and proper method of passing food was stressed. Dale Brown assisted Miss Siek in giving a practical demonstration on how to seat a lady at the table.

Plans are being made to begin serving Sunday dinners in the compromise style, as they were served last year, soon after the Thanksgiving holidays are over. Dress-up dinners will be Held once or twice monthly.

The rules of procedures suggested were recommended by the Dining Hall Improvement Committee. Serving on this committee are Dr. R. E. Mohler, Professor Dell, Miss Siek, Mrs. Ikenberry, Mrs. Stover, Pat Kennedy, Lois Kaufman, Carl Beckwith, and John Ditmars.

To The Editor

We enter into this Thanksgiving season, remembering those of long ago who thanked God with humble hearts overflowing with gratitude for his many gracious kindnesses. We, too. would be like those able to come through darkness, as a diamond eagerly grasps each tiny ray light. Many have been the doubts and fears, temptations and sins. disappointments and sorrows since we enjoyed the spirit of Thanksgiving a year ago. Joys pleasures, the opening of new channels, peace, and the ever-faithfulness of God. our earthly parents, and friends are only a beginning of the list of blessings bestowed upon us.

“O God, we would ask that we may seek ways to find true happiness and that we may count our many blessings. Grant that we may acknowledge Thee as the Giver of all good gifts, and that, in time of trouble, we may not be forgetful of Thee and all Thou has done for us.” For health and strength, the beauty of heaven and earth, parents, teachers and friends, opportunities and the minds to use them, and for Thy Son who gave His life for us, WE THANK THEE, FATHER.

If a man carries his cross beautifully, and makes it radiant with the glory of a meek and gentle spirit, the time will come when the things that now disturb will be the events for which he will most of all give gratitude to God. Anon.

No doubt most of us students were interested in the chapel speaker’s attack on fraternities and sororities Monday morning. And no doubt we settled smuggly back in our seats and said, “that doesn’t apply to our campus.”

But on second thought, doesn’t it? Maybe there is food for thought for Mac students and faculty in what she said.

We have exclusive organizations— if not cliques, on our campus. One organization in particular does not have tryouts or any means whereby a student may qualify for the group. Membership is gained only by selection. You cannot become a member of it unless you have pull. No matter how badly you would like to take advantage of its so-called purpose. They really defeat their purpose in trying to build leadership by refusing the very ones that would like to have the experience and need it most.

Several other organizations might also re-examine their principles to see if they are democratic.

Beware McPherson students and faculty. People living in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.

ticed frequently if successful. A belch that echoes back and forth is very impressive). Teaching children that belching is discourteous is, a very heathenish feature.

3. Now. for the technique in handling of certain foods:

Olives—(if you can imagine)—pop the whole olive into your mouth and spit the pit out with force.

Soup—if it’s hot, exclaim, "Judas H. Priest.” Making a pleasant burbling sound is very effective.

Meat—no matter how good, it is always tough. Hack away extensively with your portion.

Corn-on-the-cob—eat with careless freedom and don’t stop until the cob is clean, toss the cob over your shoulder, and grab for another one.

Oranges—all juicy fruits should be eaten with loud sucking noises.

Tea or coffee—put it in your mouth and wash it about as though it were a mouthwash. If you have false teeth, let them soak in your water glass while coffee is served.

4. Subjects for discussion might include seasickness, slaughter house methods, sewage disposal plants, corpses, operations, etc. Upset the stickiest, messiest dish and then remark, “Accidents will happen, I guess.”

Respectfully submitted,

M. Lee Post.

“Live and let live” ! was the call of the old—

The call of the world when the world was cold—

The call of men when the pulled apart—

The call of the race with a chill on the heart.

But “Live and help live!” is the cry of the New—

The cry of the world with the Dream shining through_

The cry of the Brother World rising to birth—

The cry of the Christ for a comrade-like earth.

Edwin Markham

Teaching is one of the greatest professions in the world of our day. It is one of the most beneficial and most needed of all the various and sundry occupations which modern living employs. No one will deny this. Then why is it that teachers are forced to accept low wages in comparison to the high wages received by unskilled laborers and workmen with only a high school education. What is the future for college students who spend long years in college? They come out to find low wages awaiting them, if they plan to teach, while those with far less education are receiving far more pay in many instances.

Work as indispensable as is teaching boys and girls to become strong mental and physical men and women deserves, in my estimation, a greater reward than it is now receiving.

In all of our country’s labor strife, there seems to be no solution upon which everyone can agree. There are as many different suggestions as there are types of people. Which one we shall come to is unpredictable. Whether or not there is something to be done about teacher’s pay, I do not know. There seems, at present, no one to put in a “plug” for them. The teachers themselves are not complaining. Let us keep in mind the true values of life as we grow into the future, for we may have the opportunity to juggle things into their proper prospective.

Since etiquette rules are the rage on the campus this week, I hereby wish to present some of the latest revisions of modern etiquette. May they be carefully considered.

1. Rush into the dining hall with a starved look and after seating yourself , tuck the napkin under your chin. Be sure to wipe your knife and fork on it. If in the process, you drop your fork, get up and start crawling around the dining room looking for it. When the waitress comes reply, “Someone hid my fork and I am just looking for it. Are we on a fast tonight? How about another slice of dead horse?’’

2. When the food is served, start pecking at your plate. If you don’t like a dish, push it aside with some remark such as, “It upsets my stum-mick.” If you have milk, gulp a mouthful, make a face and remark, “I guess it’ll be a long time before we get decent milk in this dining hall.” If a second helping is offered, you reply, “No thank you, one is enough!” Or—eat greedily and have your plate clean almost before anyone else has started. Lean hack in your chair and belch loudly. (Belching is a habit that should be prac-

Although there are many improvements to be made on our college campus, although many are the new additions we would be overjoyed to see and be able to use, we can be thankful we have a good college as we do. We have many advantages other schools our size cannot enjoy, and continuous work in the direction of additional improvements is being done. Friends and helpers we have many. Some who receive absolutely no benefit except self-satisfaction and pleasure from helping our college are our most gracious givers.

What do we give in return? Some of us give ourselves as products upon our graduation, ready to be used by the world in ways most beneficial. Some of us make our contributions to our college in ways of improving our ethical standards. But there are many of us who expect to gain everything and give nothing. We are the people who complain about things as they are but do absolutely nothing to improve existing conditions. We are the people who think our campus is not kept clean enough but who insist on throwing candy bar wrappers and waste paper on the campus. We complain bitterly about the numerous holes in the dorm room walls while we are pounding just that one more nail in since there are already several holes on that wall anyway. We think it is disgraceful that the chem labs, dorm halls, and laundry rooms are sometimes in the state they are, but we continue throwing empty soap boxes over to one side just to get them out of the way. Some very nasty person used our face soap we left lying on the lavatory, but it is different when we pick up that pencil someone forgot. Those nosiy people down the hall are literally tearing the halls down while we are trying to study or sleep, but when we feel good we have the right to exhibit our exuberance in any form, despite its crudeness. The girl who had her friend do her theme for her we think has no morals because we conveniently forget the time we copied our lab work.

Despite the way we are. we feel that our college and our friends owe us their courtesy and services. They owe us an answer to all our demands because we think we have it coming. And that, readers, is as far as we think, for either we cannot or will not think further.

Work Party. They spent the evening working on quilts and making soap. By the end of the evening they had knotted and hemmed three quilts for relief and had completed four batches of soap. Quite an evening's work! The party ended with everyone happily chewing on apples and pop corn.

Mrs. Metzler, Mrs. Shirk, Mrs. Beam, Mrs. Rose, and Mrs. Frantz, all of the Ladies’ Aid of the local Church of the Brethren, helped the Student Volunteers and guided them thru the mysteries of soap making and the knot tying of comforts. All in all. it was a very successful party and the end of the evening found the students with the worth while feeling of having really done something to help others in need.

This time it is not her twin, but her younger sister visiting Doris Lehman. Bernice Lehman, for that’s her name, seems to be enjoying her taste of college life. We’re glad to have her here.

After a few weeks visit with friends on and about the campus, Warren Sanger left to go East to take up his work in a CPS unit, at a mental; hospital back East.

Mary Metzler and Ann Oberst were hostesses at a chop-suey dinner party held Saturday evening at the Metzler home. Following dinner, the group attended the theater. The guests included Paul Wagoner, Don Keim. Robert Keim, Sybil Miller, and the hostesses.

Elsie Schnorr spent the past weekend with Ruth Engelland, and enjoyed some of the pleasures of country life. Not counting the good food

ASHIONS

The ideal coat for this winter is the casual, short enough to show your hem. They go wonderfully with your plaid skirts. You can get them in a gamut of colors which will inspire you to smart costume planning with dresses, skirts, suits, etc.

Maybe there’s a dress, or suit, or pair of shoes you no longer care to wear — but some of the folks who’ve suffered so in Europe may be able to make good use of your discard. It's gracious to dry clean whatever you contribute; and of course you'll mend, because there’s little sewing equipment abroad.

This is the time of year to really enjoy a smart suit. . . especially in the evening! So if your wardrobe calls for a suit, buy yours now, and you’ll have lots of wear from it before it goes under cover of a coat. This year you can find so many suits, in fine fabrics and lovely colors.

and the good times, the girls also had the added experience of seeing a large prairie fire which burned for several hours.

Though not from the same place they’re from the same state—hence we’ll list them together. Kathryn Bowers and Idabelle Ward are both Nebraskans come to Kansas. Kathryn was here for a brief preview of college life during Regional Conference last February and as for Idabelle, she’s the roommate of the inimitable “Mike” in Kline. If you don’t know these gals now it’s time you get acquainted!

Bernice Lindstrom is that, snappy-eyed freshman who sang at the talent show the night of the watermelon feed away back when. Yes, she’s in a cappella and you’ve surely noticed her. She’s another downtowner that we’d hate to do without.

Another of the same—by that we mean another gal by the same name (first that is), same dark haired attractiveness, and yes, even from the same place. None other than Bernice Dixon! Take it easy fellows she’s already occupied—and he

Marie Delaplain is that efficient little lass that hails from Missouri— thus having a common interest with Dr. Fleming (and some others). Marie has attended Bethany so she has some college credits already chalked up.

Many of us have been wondering who that tall, dark and handsome freshman is who spends most of his time at the gym. Well, that is Bill Kennedy. He’s an ex-serviceman who has come to Macampus.

Matt Scherer has already shown his loyalty to McPherson by playing on the Mac softball team. Matt is on the basketball squad. He is a local boy and we’re glad he is in school with us.

Julius Steele is another local boy who comes to McPherson College as a freshman. He is really becoming well known.

Merle Wedel hails from Mound-ridge, Kansas. Merle is out for basketball. He seems to enjoy wearing that “cute” little green cap.

That strawberry blonde from Iowa is Paul Gerlack. If you want to be dazzled, girls, just look at those brown eyes.

A year ago this week the big event was the presentation of the Thespian play. The play, Jane Austin’s “Pride and Prejudice,” was given at the Community Building in town. It was a benefit performance, said benefit going to the Chinese War Orphans. The play was a romance, with just the proper amount of comedy added. It concerned the life of an English family with three eligible daughters . . . always an interesting situation.

Anne Metzler was the eldest daughter, and played the feminine lead with Blair Holman opposite as the stubborn Mr. Darcy. Susie Iken-berry was the next daughter, who snagged the most eligible bachelor, Glenn Swinger, somewhere around the middle of the play. Doris Cop-pock. the youngest daughter, spent the majority of her time giggling and chasing soldiers till she finally married one, Keith Burton. Dave Albright was the patient papa and Phyllis Strickler, the mama, fluttered and henpecked her way through the play at his side. Charles Dumond and Esther Miller held, down the character parts. Esther was a snobbish aristocrat, and Charles played to perfection the part of an odious character who made mild stabs at being the villian of the play. So much for the Thespians. They had fun giving the play and we enjoyed seeing it. After the performance, one of the cast was heard asking bow many people they took in.

Pat says I should put something about some big handsome man from Iowa coming down to see her right along about here. Is she trying to make Blair jealous do you suppose?

Elva Jean Harbaugh was elected Homecoming Queen to reign over the December 8 basketball game. The competition was stiff but she came out on top. Lois Kauffman and Phyllis Strickler were chosen the sophomore and freshman attendants to this queen-to-be.

The sophomores won the debate honors over a senior team in a final inter-class debate. According to reports current at the time, Dale Brown and Pat Kennedy were the mighty sophomores who did the deed.

A certain professor at. Ohio State walked into the classroom 15 minutes late to find the class gone. The next day the students were reprimanded. The professor said his hat had been on the desk, and that had been a sign of his presence. Next day the professor again found an empty classroom. On each desk was a hat.—(ACP).

Here are parts of letters from two of our last years’ students. Mino and Yo were roommates, and both left for the army last spring before they were able to finish the last semester. They are now stationed at Fort Snelling, Minnesota. This first is from Mino.

As you probably know, I ended up in the twin cities at Fort Snelling. Really a nice place if it wasn’t so cold. But the place we’re at really stinks. It won’t be so good until we get in school. The school buildings are really slick and very conveniently situated to everyplace.

This Friday we’re supposed to have our general classification test and that determines which, class we’re supposed to go. That is in Japanese language. Heck. I still

You all know Katie Bowers, don’t you? Well, do you all know that she has a crush on a fellow freshman? A BB player for a hint.

Have you noticed an unusually happy sparkle in the eyes of Ann Oberst? After the chop suey supper last Saturday nite the kids noticed that instead of the gold cross necklace she had been wearing around her neck, she now had a moss agate, native of the state of IDAHO.

It’s so nice to have visitors come to the campus, isn’t it, huh, Katie L.? Saturday Bob Burkholder from the C. P. S. camp at Belden, California. was here at Mac and evidently was attracted by Katie’s brown eyes—well, aren’t we all?

Welcome back. Ronald. Was it really you we heard at dinner the other day burbling sweet nothing! about the beauties of campus life?

It’s a funny thing but the ten students (out of a class of fourteen who flunked the Spanish test all have I.Q.’s over 70. That doesn’t prove

What’s this about Lowe and Norland at the show Sunday evening? That is all we know but we would like to know more.

The Markham’s, Fanny and Paul and Annette spent the week-end in Manhattan and Lawrence. It is a little indefinite as to where they were and when. They went to the Manhattan versus Nebraska homecoming game on Saturday afternoon. They also took in Kansas City and looked over the University of Kansas while in Lawrence.

There is evidence that our school is getting larger. It has been necessary to set up several more tables down in the dining hall. It really looks good to see the dining hall filling up. The tables are set up clear to the south end and it looks like old times.

Abbie: Shure, teacher. De stoik brought our baby and ma washes him in the sinick.

The Mac College bulldogs lost to both Wichita U. and Lehigh high school for practice scrimmage games last Thursday.

Rush Holloway, a former McPherson High School faculty member and now as assistant coach at Wichita, brought the fellows to McPherson.

The bulldogs showed possibilities of another good team, but there is till much room for improvement in hooting and passing.

The bulldogs also scrimmaged gainst the Lehigh team, who put up a scrappy battle.

The Lehigh teams as well as the two college teams played rugged all at times. The young lads showed possibilities of becoming a good am despite the fact they are inexperienced .

The bulldogs have three weeks to get in shape before they take the floor in their first game with Southwestern December 4.

Major congratulations of the hunt should go to Donna Mohler for snaggling the leggy Lobban, who said it couldn’t be done. But Donna did it. Congratulations also to Rutt Merkey, whose man dropped lightly from an Industrial Arts window into her waiting arms, to put it poetically Why couldn’t we all have had it that easy?

Lucy and Rothrock (hillbillies or Cro-Magnons?) made an interesting; couple, with Rothrock showing that manly (?) physique and Lucy making with that cunning page boy... Blough and Murdock together naturally. They won the wheelbarrov race in spite of stiff competition from another well-known couple Strickler and Stover.

One of our widows did a neat jot of catching one of our lucky bachelors. Namely, Wayne Bowman Nice catch. Carol. Edith Merkey our best old maid, caught a bachelor really worthy of consideration. In fact about a third of the girls had considered taking him but had decided not to when they found they couldn't catch him. Yes, I mean Slim. He was a dashing character in over alls and a mustache. And Dumond and McMurray. All I can think of to comment on (that wouldn’t gel me shot at sunrise) is that Chuck must be a big bruiser. All McMurray talked about afterwards was her bruises.

There must have been a mistake somewhere. Metzler caught Jerry Mease and Ann got Wagoner. They made a nice foursome though. Susie and Jerry Hedges walked, or shall we say creaked, off with the first prize for the best couple. Jack DuBois didn’t do bad himself as Marrying Sam. There should have been some sort of prize for him too.

After the party most of the couples crashed the football game and took a little attention away from the team Then the general trend was toward the College Inn, where the influx of hillbillie trade quite overwhelmed the owners. They rushed to and fro scattering food in all directions and wondering where to put everybody They rather hesitated to serve our booth due to the fact that they couldn't figure out whether Dick Mohler was a colored boy or not. An innocent bystander asked hopefully if all these kids were from Mac college. On being assured that we came from said college (oh, dig that Eng lish!) he breathed a sigh of relief “Oh,” he said, “that explains it all" Just what kind of reputation do we have anyhow? No answer required

Then all there was left to do was to walk the boys home. Of course this entailed some difficulty as the boys usually insisted on walking the girls home afterward. But in spite of heated debates over etiquette and much lolling in dorm parlors, most of the girls got home before twelve and had time to talk over the good time had by all.

Oh yes, one last note. Sadie Hawkins Day affected different people different ways. It makes some people act very different, For instance, (and this was what I’m leading up to) yours truly earned an easy dime off of Dumond the Thursday before Sadie Hawkin’s Day. I called him a gentleman in a moment of weakness and he started digging in his pockets to pay for such kindness. He almost forgot himself so far as to shell out four bits, but remembered himself just in time to hand over a dime. I’ll treasure that dime all my life and frame it as an example of what people come to when they’re excited.

From the Fish and Wildlife Service of the Department of the Interior, Julius Steele has received the following information. While hunting at Lake Inman on October 26, he shot a bird carrying the band number 40-646331. It was a Pin-fail, banded November 16, 1940 at Avery Island, La., by E. A. McIl henny. By means of these numbered bands important investigations relative to the migrations and other facts in the life histories of North American birds are being advanced, the bands are attached to the birds by volunteer cooperators, both in the United States and Canada, who serve without pay. Success in the birdhanding work is therefore dependent upon the reports of persons in both countries on such banded birds us come to their attention.

Migratory waterfowl have been handed in large numbers at more than 150 stations scattered over the continent and have been recovered as far south as the northern part of South America. Small song birds have Been handed in still greater numbers, and many interesting facts concerning their movements are being discovered. These data are not only of scientific importance but also are of much service in the administration of this valuable wildlife resource. The Service, accordingly, desires to have a report on every handed bird that may be recovered by reporting bands, date of recovery, and the locality. |

can’t decide whether I should try my best or not try at all and act dumb. Of course, you would say I am dumb in the first place so that's all right.

Last Saturday I saw a football game between U. of Minn., and Ohio State. Really was a slaughtering game for Minnesota. That Saturday was the first time I saw the campus of the school and it really is a large place. Boy, there were plenty of shick chicks loo!

By the way, has Yo dropped by school yet? Dale said he was going to stop over before November but | I’m afraid he is going to get sent up here too because there’s a big order coming up from Camp Fannin. I’d sure like to see him.

Well, I had better not bother you anymore as I realize you got plenty of academic work (ahem) to do! Does everyone still read letters in chapel?

Mino's address is Pvt. Mino Koide, Co I) 37766773, Fort Snelling, Minn.

Tis hard to do anything in this world of ours without having the “know-how” of how it is done. Did you ever sit on the side-lines of a game and make, philosophical, energetic, worthless remarks about how the game ought to be played? Well, lots of folk have, and I’ve wondered if they thought that they had as much know-how” as the players who had been drilling all year. All sports generally require two types of exercise: physical and mental. Most mistakes are due to absolute carelessness or lack of the latter form of exercise. However, as the season progresses let us remember that our team has the “Know How.”

“Have you seen Annette Ronk?” A common question queried around the gym. It seems mighty good to hear the answer. Yep, fellows, let’s not forget that the ladies have an active sports program around here.

Here meaning McPherson College campus.

Certainly do hope our basketballs hold out this season. Already shaped bumps, split seams etc. are beginning to appear on them, and they are looking pretty rugged.

any of the brain children of our school know where we can get any good basketballs, inform our Coach

Naylor’s girl-friend was there at the station to meet him. These little incidents of life aren’t gossip, but are very pertinent to our basketball teams. After all a guy plays basketball better when he is happy.

Notice retiring Coach Luster's team (of Oklahoma), how it comes out today. (Saturday).

’nuff Chuck.

This is from Yo, written to none other than the most honorable Dale Brown.

What say, boy? I hope you’re making out a lot better than I. I got railroaded to Snelling—I mean I have to go there. I'm being Shanghaied in exactly the same way Mino was. We all had our orders, money, ticket, etc., to Camp Pickett, Va., and then our orders were revoked the last minute. I'm pretty sure we’re sure going to Snelling. The army isn't satisfied by simply making us go to Snelling and suffer, so they also deny us of our greatly esteemed, irreplaceable delay in route or as most people call it—our furlough. That means I won’t be in Mac for quite some time now. I may get a furlough if we get to Snelling too early, but that is very unlikely. What gets me is that I'm just loafing here now wasting time, getting bored doing nothing, etc. If they would let me leave for Snelling now, I can be

In a thrilling game played on the college field, the McPherson High School girls nosed out our girls’ softball team in the eighth inning, 14-13. Even though the weather was chilly, the game was exciting from beginning to end.

Both teams committed a number of errors, but the high school girls hit in the clutches and displayed flashy fielding when it was most effective. In the lust half of the fifth inning, the college girls increased their lead to 10-5. They were unable to hold the lead, and at the end of the seventh inning the score was knotted 13-13. In the extra inning the high school scored one run. and then turned in a superb job of fielding to suppress the threatening rally of our team.

Just some notes on the Sadie Hawkin s Day Open Season, cattily known as the only time some girls can get a man. Or, man? mama, what's a man?

The open season started Thursday at 1:00 p. m. This particular chase was not very interesting as the majority of boys who knew what the score was were busy viewing an empty campus from the Biology lab windows. The placidity of the scene was marred during the first period only by Milly Jones chasing Blair Helman. However the fun began second period when some of the boys had to venture outside to other classes. Then the real beauty of the Harnley Hall front door was revealed. And I don’t mean the architecture. Many’s the man who was snared from ambush around that region. Girls, let’s all give a cheer for H. J. Harnly, bless his heart.

Thursday evening was spent in making a rather loose blockade around the boy’s dorm. It wasn’t very effective though, as the boys slipped out even though a few of the girls did slip in through the lower windows. The deep mud around the building was caused, not by rain, but countless gallons of water aimed at the besieging girls. Although the boys resisted, the number of lucky bachelors was considerably reduced during the evening.

Friday the ranks were thinning but the line held. Interesting sights were to be seen all over the campus, such as girls chasing Jerry Mease afoot and acar. June Landis came pretty close to catching the boy with that stride of hers. And it was due only, no doubt, to the fact that roads don't run in the right places that Jerry remained uncaught when they chased him in a car. He came to the party still a lucky bachelor even if he didn’t leave the same way.
