Evolution will probably never evolute to the extent that people will be running around with two heads. But people are two-faced. so they might as well be two-headed. I can think of a number of advantages in having an extra cranium stuck between the clavicles. Let me elucidate:

Two heads would be a boon to studying. With all the knowledge absorbed by the extra head, one could think faster than he could write; and that would be extremely valuable on tests.

Rapt attention could be paid chapel speakers with one head while the other could be reading a good book.

One could avoid annoying friends on the street by looking the other way in two directions; this would be disconcerting enough to startle the staunchest of people. In addition to this, one could look where be was going and could see where he bad just been. How valuable this would be in avoiding police cars! Accidents and traffic tickets

This is your baby! Your project! Unless you want to do something about it, the Dog House will remain in its present condition, looking more like a kennel than a modern snack and recreation room.

We can not expect the churches throughout the region or the friends in the city of McPherson to contribute to the project if the students do not care to give their share. It is for our benefit and we are the ones who should take the initiative in raising funds for its completion. It is not the Student Council's responsibility, it is the student body’s project.

No work can be done toward the improvement of the room this summer unless funds are received this spring before school is out. It is hard to visualize what the room could be like but once it is finished it will be the most popular room on the campus.

Give and make the Dog House a reality!

M Club To Hear Bright

Presiding over the affair will be Bob Burkholder as the Master of Ceremonies. During the evening, entertainment in the form of a instrumental duet by Tony Voshell and Delbert Crabb and a vocal solo by Jo B. Brooks will be given. The after-dinner-speaker will be Dr. J. D. Bright. Professor of History at Washburn University, the former Dean of McPherson College. The announcement of the new officers for the coming year will be given by Coach Hayden.

Four Experts To Discuss Courtship

Are you thinking of getting engaged? How do you know that it is love? What is wrong with petting? How can courtship be improved? Why do people get engaged? What can an engaged couple do to prepare themselves for marriage?

These questions are to he posed in the direction of four experts participating in a panel discussion. The occasion is scheduled for this Sunday evening at the BYPD meeting, and the program is to begin at 6:30. The participants are Mrs. Burton Metzler. Mrs. Don Frederick. Dr. Fleming and Prof. Berkebile; the presiding chairman for the hour’s meeting will be Russell Jarboe. All young people of high school and college age are invited to attend this special session which should be of interest to all.

Friday, May 2, was the day on which the cheerleaders for next year were chosen by the students of McPherson College. The election was held in the SUR from 10:30 a. m. until 3:30 p. m. The students showed their enthusiasm by turning out at the polls and voting for the persons that they thought were best qualified. It was possible to vote for two girls and one boy, or two hoys and one girl.

Bally-hoo speeches and demonstrations of the candidates’ per and energy were presented during the activity period on Friday in the SAR. Bob) Burkholder, Student Council president, introduced each speaker, who gave a two minute speech on the qualifications of the particular candidate he had chosen to bally-hoo for. Kent Naylor served as antagoniz-er. He prompted those who insisted on talking over two minutes.

Valeta Hershberger, freshman hailing from Nampa. Idaho, had as her bally-hoo speaker Bob Keim. Valeta has many good qualities, where vim and vigor are concerned. which proved helpful in the election Friday. Valeta was one of the lucky girls chosen for a position as cheerleader.

Theodore Geisert spoke for Winston Beam, freshman from McPherson. Winston and Leroy Doty performed their demonstration together. Winston was also chosen as one of the cheerleaders for next year.

Elsie Schnorr, who ran into the SAR just in time to catch her breath, gave a most stimulating pep talk for Anita Jo Norlin, our peppy sophomore pepper for this year.

Marvin Krehbiel stressed the word “pep" in his interesting speech on why Dorothy Saylor should be elected. He must have proved his point, for Dorothy is one of our cheerleaders for next year. Dorothy’s home is in Waterloo. Iowa.

Presenting a very witty two minute sketch on behalf of Leroy Doty, Don Keim spoke on the ability of his candidate to “go a long way.”

Russell Reinecker insisted that Marx Jones, another McPherson-ite, be elected, because he comes from a long line of cheerers. He was a cheerleader in high school (McPherson High School), his older brother was one before him. and his younger brother is one now.

Anita Jo Norlin, Betty Krehbiel and Glenn Beckwith are the cheerleaders this year.

Musical Program Presented By Musicians of College

On Sunday afternoon at three o’clock the McPherson College Music Department will present a concert in the chapel for the alumni of McPherson County.

The College Ladies Quartette, the Varsity Male Quartette, and the A Cappella Choir, under the direction of Don Frederick, will sing. Anne Krehbiel and Paul V. Sollenberger will also take part in the program.

Applications Still Being

Accepted For Spectator

Applications for Campus Editor of the Spectator. Assistant Editor of the Quadrangle, and Assistant Business Managers of the Spectator and Quadrangle are still being accepted. They will be accepted until noon Monday. May 12. Anyone interested in these positions should be sure to turn in their applications before that time.

Mirrors would become extinct: one head could peek around to see how the other looked.

A person naturally headstrong would be doubly so, while losing one's heads would he a major calamity. One would have to install a refrigeration system to keep two heads cool.

One could see twice as much, hear twice as well, eat twice as fast (a blessing at church dinners). talk twice as much and as fast, and sing duets with himself. Charming conversations could be held, provided that the two heads were not thinking the same things or reading the other’s mind.

The buying of extra hats, combs, and bobby pins would be the only disadvantage in having two heads. Would I be getting in over my beads to suggest such a ridiculous state of affairs? After all. everybody knows that two heads are better than one, even though they might be a trifle unnerving at first!

Bro. F. E. Marchand, a local member of the McPherson Church of the Brethren, has just made a remarkable gift to the church in memory of his beloved wife. The gift consists of an amplification unit which will be used chiefly for the purpose of augmenting the organ chimes. This unit is supposed to have the carrying distance of a one mile radius or more in every direction. A virtue of the gift is that it will be able to provide the foundation unit for all amplification needs the church will ever have.

Even though the date of installation of the unit is unknown, it is possible that it will be before Commencement Exercises. The company, to which the order has been sent, stated that it could make the delivery before thirty days.

It may be expedient to add that this gift is the second one to be given to the church within the span of a year. The Heaston Memorial Chapel is nearing completion. After the installation of the organ and the laying of the carpet, the chapel will be dedicated.

On Friday, May 16, the A Cappella Choir of McPherson College will present a concert in the High School Auditorium. The concert will be at 8:00 p. m. Tickets are available at the Bixby-Lindsay drug store. Prices for students and adults are forty cents and sixty cents, respectively.

Some of the numbers presented will be the same as those presented by the choir on their tour.

Comprehensives Over!

Seniors breathed a sigh of relief Monday noon, for their comprehensive examinations were at last over. For four hours Monday morning they sweated it out. This is the day dreaded by all seniors, and all are glad when it is over. Oral comprehensives will not be given this year as in the past.

The Salvation Army Camp six miles from Wichita is a scene of activity today, with approximately seventy juniors and seniors of our college enjoying a retreat there. The students vacated the campus yesterday afternoon, in preparation for a day and a half of recreation, food, rest and fun.

Each year the members of the junior and senior classes are excused from classes for one day in order that they may observe the Annual Junior-Senior Retreat. They are accompanied this year by Professor Hess and Miss Mary K. Slifer, of the faculty. The camp provides cabins, cots, etc., and the campers take their own bedding. They have the privilege of using all the facilities of the camp.

The juniors and seniors will spend much of the time playing baseball and volleyball, hiking, pitching horseshoes, or in the recreation hall. They plan to conclude the Retreat with a tour of places of interest in Wichita this afternoon. Plans for this day and a half of vacation from studies were made by various committees and officers, including Warren Hoover and Elsie Schnorr. presidents of the senior and junior classes, respectively; Marvin Blough and Dorris Murdock, recreation: Ruth Davis, chairman of Foods Committee; and Harlan Bowman, in charge of equipment.

May 14, 15, and 16 are the dates for the Diamond Jubilee celebration of McPherson. May 14 is All Schools Day. No schools will he open on Wednesday. In the morning there will be a May Fete at which time the May Queen will he crowned. There will be May dances by the Jr. High and High School girls. The parade will then take place with the Queen’s float and all other entered floats. The parade will go down Main Street. The sophomore class has charge of the College float which will he entered this day.

May 15 is Pioneer Day. The floats will depict ‘.‘olden days” of the founding of McPherson. Any organization or group of people can enter a float for this day.

May 16 is the Day of Progress. The floats this day will he depicting the progress which has been made in 75 years. Anyone can enter a float this day also.

Because of the parades on Thursday and Friday, the college will change its schedule to the following for these two days:

7:00 to 7:40 7:45 to 8:25 8:30 to 9:10 9:15 to 9:55 10:00 to 10:40 10:45 to 11:25 11:30 to 12:10

President’s Brother Dies

You have heard that swimming develops poise and grace, but did you ever take a good look at a duck?

Rev. C. G. Bloomquist spoke in chapel Wednesday morning. He built his talk around the things that the Christian Church and citizens of the world need to know and act accordingly. At no moment is the church needed more than now. A mighty spiritual awakening is the primary need. These last two statements were voiced by several of the important statesmen of this country.

Monday’s entire chapel will be devoted to creating enthusiasm for the drive and securing pledges for the raising of the needed sum. Committees have been hard at work planning the drive and preparing for the special chapel program. An interesting and unusual program has been planned for this opening period and every student, whether he can give a little or a lot is urged to attend. Augie San Romani has promised a novelty number and the best talent that the college has to offer will be used. All the fanfare of a political convention will be on display.

As a result of a meeting of twenty-five students it was decided to launch a campaign this spring so that funds would be available to complete the work this summer. Several thousand dollars are needed to make it the ideal room, hut there are other sources being used besides student contributions. A concession stand will be operated during the Diamond Jubilee celebration. An interested individual will give one dollar for every four given by the students. Churches throughout the region are aiding in the drive.

No force will he used to get pledges or cash from the students, it is to be a spontaneous reaction of the students in support of their project.

Tuesday morning the Student Volunteers Commission heard a very interesting talk by Ed Crill,

our Brethren Service Representative for the Western Region. He told about the Salina Work Camp, which is to be held from June 14 to July 13. The last two weeks of this period a Leadership Training Institute will be held in connection with the Work Camp project. The Institute has secured such able leaders as Dan West. Lorell Weiss, R. H. Miller, Russell West, W. Harold Row. M. R. Zigler, and others. There are plans for two official representatives of the cabinets from the other four regions of the Church brotherhood. In addition several other young people from other regions plan to come for the Institute and Work Camp.

It is hoped that each church in the Western Region will have at least two people in the Leadership Training Institute. There will be such study courses offered as International Relations. Social Problems. Philosophy and Psychology of Leadersip, Church History, and Peace Philosophy. Then there will be a special course for the young people on BYPD program and organization.

The work project consists of building a play ground, conducing games and recreation, making a socialogical survey, and helping in general the families of the community to live better.

Representatives of the youth cabinet and representatives of this region as a whole will be there. There are scholarships and fellowships available for students who are interested ami need them. The cost of the camp will be one dollar per day.

The subject of democracy in this college starts us off to an interesting and controversial question. Just how far should the administration go in being democratic? And in the same breath we should ask just how far can they be democratic?

The basic principle that must be always upheld in this matter is that the college is here for the good of its students, wouldn’t it be logical to say that students should have charge of student problems and discipline themselves? Not necessarily so. We believe it is always a good policy to let people of college age govern themselves? Not necessarily so. We believe it is always a good policy to let people of college age govern themselves, if at all practicable. The student council is already loaded with work but might not it be a good policy to regulate more student problems to some such body? It makes for unnecessarily bad feeling between students and faculty when decisions are “handed down.”

We will grant that even college students do not always realize their responsibilities and fail to see the college program over a period of years as the administration must. Many times the actions of students directly affect the administration.

Can our college be efficient and be democratic; can our college maintain its integrity, its good reputation, and be democratic? We think it can; we have not lost faith in its students. We students are not interested in running somebody else’s business, but the actions of the various departments are almost always directly linked with our interests and actions.

Someone once said that “vision is the ability to see the invisible.”

Vision, the first step in a long stairs to success. No one ever accomplishes much without it and very few ever go beyond it. So set your goal high. Start with high aims and never be afraid to be called idealistic for on the shoulders of the idealists is progress made.

Perhaps it is a little late to be talking about vision when school is almost over and seniors have taken their comprehensives, but soon underclassmen will be asked to enroll for next year, to decide their major field, if they have not already done this. Use vision in doing this, don’t merely think of the best paying job the first year out, but look at a lifetime, a life wasted, or used for a worthy cause.

Nothing great has ever been done without first a vision of the task ahead, the goal that he seeks. What a compass is to a navigator; what a test tube is to a chemist; what the north star is to the astronomer; vision is to the student.

Has the age of hoop-skirts, spool-heels and handle-bar moustaches descended upon the city of McPherson again? Before you attempt to answer this question, you had better go up town some

evening soon and watch the parade of quaint costumes that many of the McPherson citizens have improvised or dug from their trunks for the Diamond Jubilee Celebration. This celebration. commemorating the 7 5th anniversary of the city of McPherson, is being held on May 14, 15 and 16.

Since the first of the year, the various committees for the Diamond Jubilee have been hard at work preparing entertainment for the festival. There will be a rodeo, carnival, and street dance on all three days of the celebra-ion and a big parade on May 14, All Schools Day.

The rodeo is being sponsored by the Saddle Club of McPherson and $2,000 is offered in cash prizes. The street dance will be held on Main Street at Marlin. The public has been cordially invited to attend these frolics.

On Monday night, May 5, a preview of all old dresses, suits and accessories was given in the Community Building in McPherson. The outfits ranged from hoops and derbies of the 1800’s

to bustles ana cravats of the early 1900's. One lady approached a friend of hers and exclaimed,“My what a cute hat you've got on! I bet it must have belonged to your great grandmother. Her friend looked at her a moment and said, “Great grandmother nothing. I just bought this hat today ... it is the latest model.”

Every once in a while one can catch a glimpse of a person coming down the street that looks very familiar, but can't quite be placed. The reason for this is that the beards are in such full bloom it is hard to recognize old friends anymore.

Some of the McPherson college students have gotten the fever.

I have seen a couple of girls wearing cow-girl outfits and many of the fellows have nice full-fledged beards, moustaches, and sideburns. Then there is the faculty, also. Miss Lehman really does have a fascinating hat that she has been parading about in. I have been tempted to go up to her and ask her if she made it or if it belonged to an ancestor. But I have been reluctant, for fear I might get the same answer as the one that was given by that lady to her friend. (Refer to the third paragraph up.)

A very interesting program was presented at S. C. A. Thursday evening, May 1, in the S. U. R. A short piano prelude was played by Joyce Birkin, followed by a demonstration of textile painting by Betty Murrey and Delma Cline of the Goodluck 4-H Club. The two girls talked as they worked and explained the five steps Of textile painting. After completing the demonstration, they showed a number of things they had done, such as decorating borders on dresses, aprons, and handker chiefs, designs on scarves, towels, luncheon cloths. and T-shirts and many others.

After the demonstration Miss Lehman gave the reading, “The Courage of the Common Place.' by Raymond Shipman Andrews It was the story of a young man just out of college who made the doing of common place tasks the basis for achieving great things in his later life. The story was very interesting and pointed out vividly that great things cannot be accomplished overnight, hut that a foundation for it must be built gradually through the years

At present Lowell Heiny is teaching Chemistry and Mathematics at Mesa College. Colorado. He and his family reside at 1620 North 7th St., Grand Junction, Colorado.

Intercollegiate

Review

Another week closer to the end of school, and most of the campuses which I had time to visit were buried deep in the planning of the final closing exercises. But even in the midst of such a busy time, various groups on the greens were graciously providing entertainment. For example:

On April 30. the famous Apollo Boys Choir presented a concert at the Bethel College Memorial Hall. Members of this organization range in ages from nine to fourteen years.

The York College music department of York, Nebraska, presented the four act opera, "Bohemian Girl” on May 1.

On April 25. at Pittsburg College, Rossini’s Oratorio "Stabat Mater” was presented by the Festival Chorus and Orchestra. This presentation ended the Music Festival Week’s activities.

Merrill Gage, well-known sculptor was presented at Baker University on April 30. During his address on the life of Lincoln. Mr. Gage modeled from a mass of clay a bust of Lincoln. Showing Lincoln’s features as he looked as a young man. the face changed to that of the older man as the

Quite a number of records were purchased with the machine, but the students have contributed. Student contributions include:

Ray Cullen—“On the Banks of the Brandywine”, and “I'll Take You Home Again Kathleen”.

Ragtime music that wears out after being played three times is being rigidly censored. A notable example of this is, “O Where did Robinson Crusoe Go with Friday on Saturday Night”.

Our new Edison is nearly paid for. The Y. M. C. A. boys canvassed the town and Hall for a couple days and since then have been too busy to finish the work. A partial list of the contributors and the amounts follows:

Since we have become citizens of the world as well as of the United States, however, there has been a distinct change. German. Latin. Greek—are all relegated to the background and the new idol. French, has taken their places.

There is grave danger that the zeal of these French fans may change the method of communication of the campus from hissing English to the nasal twang of gay Paree.

Last Thursday during activity period, the McPherson College Players held a meeting for the election of officers for the 1947-48 school year in the SAR. Phyllis Strickler, president this year, presided at the meeting.

Hillis Williams was elected president of the organization for next year, Phyllis Strickler was elected vice-president, and Avis Erb obtained the postion of secretary-treasurer.

The members at the meeting agreed to present Monty Ash with a small share of the profit secured from the production, “None So Blind.” The grant will be given to Mr. Ash with a letter.

All members of the McPherson College Players were urged to lead the bulletin on the Alpha Psi Omega Fraternity, and to determine if they are eligible for membership in the organization. At present only Miss Wine. Faculty director of the club and Miss Lehman are members of this fraternity. It is believed that several of the members of the Players will be eligible for admission at the end of this year.

In the meeting held by the committee appointed to help raise funds for the extension and remodeling of the "Dog House", plans were discussed for the theme and contents of the future snack bar.

The room to the west of the present snack bar will be added, making it a much larger and more comfortable place in which the students may carry on daily "get-to-gethers." Both of the rooms may be done in knotty pine, similar to that in the S. U. R.

There will he recreational facilities added to the ones that are already in the snack bar. Ping pong is expected to he the main attraction. However, several games will be provided for, carrying out the "entertainment while you eat’’ idea.

Reports have been made that the present counter will he expanded. It is hoped that in the near future such utensils as malt shakers, hamburger grills, and other cooking vessels will be added.

Members of the fund committee suggested several ideas for the theme of the future snack bar. The Pennsylvania Dutch idea. Ranch Style, and homey atmosphere have been the most favored suggestions. Murals added to the surroundings seem to be popular, also. No definite plans have been drawn up as to the actual theme, and no one knows just what the Dog House" of tomorrow will look like. But if everything goes like it should, it is certain that the theme chosen will be accepted and enjoyed by the students.

More tables and chairs will be added to the present number and there will also be booths for students to sit and spend their leisure moments.

The future "Dog House” of McPherson College belongs to you. It is up to you to make it a success. By contributing, you will make it a place that you appreciate and admire._

Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Crist of Quinter, Kansas, are pleased to announce the engagement of their daughter, Eulalia, to Mr. Merrill Sanger, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Sanger, of Springfield, Missouri.

Mr. and Mrs. Harry G. Mohler, of Octavia, Nebraska, take pleasure in announcing the engagement of their daughter, Donna,

Say! Did you ever happen to wonder what happened to that five dollars the Dog House waitresses won Stunt Nite? You did? Then you should have been at Coronado Heights Tuesday evening. Ah, the sights you would have beheld—food, fire, fun, and Weber’s motion picture camera. All nine of the gals (eight waitresses and Schraml, who calls herself Big Boss—the waitresses call her . . . . but we won't go into that) invited guests and left their cares and studying for tests behind and merrily motored to Coronado Heights, the closest thing to a mountain nearer than Colorado, where - they practically outdid themselves in eating, laughing, and cracking corny (as in Iowa) jokes. If you don’t believe there was a lot of food, just ask Bonnie Alexander who lost a button in a crucial spot, and it wasn’t because she was starving.

The weiners were frozen solid, but if one roasted them long enough, they thawed about half way through—that is, if the wein-er stick didn’t burn up before the weiner was coal black.

Between gulps of ice cream. Moyer rushed up to the fire and quiveringly informed all hearers that he was freezing—he then went back and got more ice cream.

Then one could mention such things as marshmallows—roasted ones, and shall we say, make-up, but it might be just as well not to.

All in all,. the moral to this story is, either be a Dog House waitress or a friend of one.

It is believed that McPherson College has had a record-breaking number of engagements this year. There have been sixteen altogether. Maybe it is because spring is here, or maybe just due to the fact that the “love bug” has bitten . . . but there were four over last week end. Wonder who’s next?

Bulldogs Take

Swedes 8-1

Hill Winning Pitcher As Locals Win Fourth

McPherson College's baseball team scored their fourth straight victory of the season with a win over the hapless Bethany Swedes last Tuesday In the McPherson hall park. A lack of time caused the game to he only six innings long, but the Bulldogs were in front all the way.

The winning pitcher for McPherson was Bob Hill, who gave up only one hit during the four innings ho was in the ball game. Morris McClung pitched the last two innings. Two walks and a base hit scored the only Bethany tally, in the sixth.

Losing pitcher was V. Lay. Although he gave up only four hits, he was wild in spots and walked ten men.

The heavy hitters in the game were Carol Tillman with two hits in four times at bat, and Bud Fisher, who got his second hit of the season, a bloop double back of second base.

Trackmen Score Thirty-one Points

Miller Is High With Two Firsts

Last Thursday the Mac cinder-men went to Salina and walked away with 31 points and second place in a quadrangular meet with Bethany and Wesleyan. The host. Wesleyan, won the meet with a total of 45 points while Bethany ran a very close third.

No records were set. in fact the time, or distance, as the case may he, was relatively slow, due partly to the strong north wind which swept the track and field and to lack of practice.

Several Macmen showed up well. Lyle Miller was high Bulldog for the day getting ten points with firsts in the mile and another in the 880. Elvin Wolf gathered 8 points with a second in the pole vault, second in the low hurdles, and splitting a three way tie for second in the high jump.

The Stern brothers, Don and Irvin, provided the feature of the day, however, when they came in in a dead heat in the two mile run. They each got 4 points as the honors were thus divided.

Ivan Rogers and Dayton Rothrock each picked up two points by finishing third in the mile and half-mile respectively and James Garvey got a fourth in the quarter, rounding out the total.

There are 2 5 girls enrolled in archery classes, and they are very enthused over the sport. Recently they have been learning what the tassell. now, quiver, etc., mean and how to use them.

Miss Slifer says that she would like to teach the sport three days a week, and then the girls would really be able to master the sport.

Club '47 Theme Of Cl ass Banquet

Juniors and seniors dined in the Club ’47 last Friday evening as they held their annual spring banquet at the Warren Hotel. Professor and Mrs. Hess and Miss Mary Slifer also attended the banquet as the faculty advisors.

After a very good turkey dinner Franklin Flory served as master of ceremonies for the program. A welcome speech was given by Elsie Schnorr with the response for the seniors being given by Warren Hoover, the respective class presidents. Doris Coppock was soloist for the evening singing two popular numbers. A short skit was presented by Mr. and Mrs. Ash, titled “Not So Private Lives.” The final number of the program was presented by Rip Ferguson. Bob Leggitt. and Burr Miller in the form of instrumental music on the trumpet, bass cello, and piano.

The following is a report on an article “Track Needs Promotion’’ by one of the leading high school track coaches in the country:

Without a doubt, the track and field program is “organized” in many of the schools throughout the county, even though practically every coach is willing to place this branch of sports in the top position as a body builder.

Track is a democratic sport be-cause it offers an event for almost every type of athlete. Sufficient organization in any school will make it possible to have a great majority of the boys taking part in one form or another of organized track work.

Generally, track coaches agree that the difficulty in promoting track arises mainly from lack of enthusiasm on the part of the principal or athletic manager. No doubt, this lack of enthusiasm comes from the fact that track income is less than track expenditures. Parallel situations are found in supporting bands and debate teams, yet these are regarded as worthwhile activities and a deficit is accepted without question.

Mr. Gotschall, then gives some of his ideas on how track can be promoted in a school or community. He says that: 1. The first requirement to establish track in an enthusiastic, interested, well-informed, track coach who must sell the program to the school. 2. Place the school track records on the wall of the gym. Let people know what the team is doing. 3.

Put the team in competition wearing colorful uniforms and warm sweat outfits. 4. Never fail, when the occasion arises, to provide meals to members of the team. 5. Award ribbons or medals at every meet, no matter how unimportant a meet may seem. Every meet is important to a contestant. 6. Give deserved recognition for outstanding achievement by placing individual pictures in appropriate places. 7. Stage an occasional pep session for the track team. 8. Provide the track team with the same grade of officiating that other sports enjoy. 9. Conduct all meets with clockwork timing, and make certain that fanfare and color are not forgotten.

These are a few of Mr. Got-schall’s suggestions. Many, if not all. of these you students can help remedy. Remember, it only takes a small spark to start a big lire. Let us not forsake our track squad!

Thought for the week: Every man should keep a fair-sized cemetery in which to bury the faults of his friends.
