Have you ever walked down Main Street In McPherson, and heard a Mozart "Sonata" drifting down from the top floor? Perhaps you didn't realize that you were listening to the pre-college students of M. C.. one of the most important departments of the college. Many pre-college students and some advanced students take regular lessons from the throe teachers of the downtown division.

Approximately fifty students are taking piano lessons from the throe faculty members of the downtown studio. Miss Minnie Mugler is teaching thirty-three and has a waiting list.

Miss Helen Howe, formerly fulltime instructor of the college music department. Is teaching five students, and Miss Bonnie Alexander of the college is teaching twelve students. The course of study ranges from the very simple to the more difficult.

piano numbers, received their training at the McPherson College studio, serving the downtown residents for more than a qurater of a century.

On Friday evening between the hours of 7:10 and 9:20 the house of Miss Mildred Siek on North Charles, was broken into by burg-" lars. Only two things were taken those being a flashlight and three silver dollars that were lying in a desk drawer.

Miss Siek had left the house in the early evening to attend a movie in downtown McPherson. When she returned at approximately 9: 20. she noticed that the front door was open; but she thought nothing of that because the door was hard to latch. When she entered the kitchen she found the back door also open; but even this wasn't unusual because often the Lo-land highs use the telephone and she thought perhaps the door had been left open unintentionally.

However. Miss Siek did think of the possibility of burglars. The one proof would he a door in the second floor that was held closed by a small piece of paper and if this paper had been disturbed then her conclusions would be correct. Her conclusions were correct. She informed the police of the incident.

Were You There?

On Friday afternoon. April 1, the McPherson Bulldogs met the College of Emporia Presbies in the first intercollege baseball game of the season. It was a fair game even if we did lose the play by two runs. But the really disappointing thing was the small group of Mac Bulldog students that turned out for the game. Granted? the weather was not too conducive for baseball, but it could not have been too bad because there were some PEW supporters out.

We recently heard it said that if the colleges of the KCAC league are going to have organized baseball then its going to be up to the students of these colleges to support baseball. If proper student support is given to baseball, then college officials will feel it worth while to spend the time, money, and effort in fielding a good ball club.

McPherson this year has a pretty good club; and as soon as they hit their stride, there will undoubtedly be seen a good grade of ball being played by the McPherson College team.

Other spring sports to watch on the College campus are track and tennis. Several track meets have been scheduled and several tennis matches lined up.

The boys that are out for football and basketball received most of the athletic ovations while baseball, tennis, and track men receive little publicity and little backing by ther fellow students.

Watch the college paper and the local “daily” for information regarding the spring sports calendar. When you find out when a game is to be played, make it a point to get to that game.

If we are going to continue to have spring sports on our campus, it is up to the students to back the athletic department in these undertakings.

Get to the games, support spring sports! ! !

Thieves In The Gym

A situation exists that needs to be called to the attention of the authorities. The condition we are referring to is the condition of the dressing rooms in the Physical Education building.

The college provides lockers for gym participants to store their personal belongings in while those individuals are on the gym floor or are showering. Even with these provisions there have been several cases of thefts reported in the dressing rooms.

In a recent case the individual involved left his locker unlocked for only a very few minutes. When he returned his wallet was gone. Fortunately for him there was not very much money in the wallet, but there were many important papers. Also fortunately for him his wallet was also found at a later date.

Who is responsible for these thefts? College students? Fellow sportsmen? We are inclined to believe not. We are placing the blame for these incidents on the many young visitors that frequent the gym all during the day and evening. The temptation is put before them. We cannot blame these youngsters too severely because as yet they have not received the training and background with regards to other people’s property.

What can we do to safeguard our personal property when we are entering into the sports carried on by the Physical Education Department? One thing that the college could do would be to build a cage in-the dressing rooms to and from which personal belongings could be checked. It would require one person to care for this type of setup. This system is now being used in regards to the tools of the Industrial Arts Department.

It would safeguard personal property and could be used as credit for a locker boy who is unable to partake of the regular gym course.

This situation must not get out of hand. We should urge the college officials to nip these petty thefts in the bud before someone gets the idea that he can get away with bigger thefts.

Thanks

It is very seldom that we of the editorial staff hand out orchids or write an epistle of praise. It is usually considered that the editors write editorial condemnation, but here is where we would like to change our rut.

We want to take our hats off to Mrs. George Noyes. In the recent production of “Blithe Spirit." Mrs. Noyes burnt the candle at both ends. Not only did she have a play to direct, but her son Stuart had one of the leading parts in the “Barrets of Wimpole Street,” recently presented by the high school, and her small daughter contracted a fine case of measles.

Mrs. Noyes stopped into the dramatic spot when Mrs. Esther Sherfy Porter left for Colorado to join her husband. Stepping in when and where she did would have been a tough job for anyone.

Thanks for helping out. thanks for a swell production, and orchids to you, Mrs. George Noyes.

Civic Role Being Played By College

Tills week’s guest editor is the honorable Mayor Homer Ferguson. Mayor Ferguson is a graduate or the class of 1912 from McP-herson College. He is at the present time the secretary-treasurer of the Farmers Alliance Insurance Company of McPherson. He has been connected with this same company since 1912 except for a short time during the first world war.

Mayor Ferguson’s editorial on the place of McPherson College in the community Is as follows.

From a businessman's viewpoint. in dollars and cents McPherson College might be comparable with any other industry. In many respects it is similar to a refinery, a factory or a flour mill, transforming raw material (excuse me freshmen) into the finished product, in the process, the community is benefit ted directly or indirectly, from the faculty payroll, the college budget and money spent by students, all of which create one of McPherson's foremost business institutions.

To resident parents, the College offers an opportunity for son or daughter to obtain an education at a nominal expense, without breaking home ties or church affiliations. Economically, it enables many young men and women to obtain an education which otherwise might be curtailed or denied.

For the population as a whole, the college is an influence for good, its activities program of music, athletics, forensics, and dramatics, furnish entertainment of a high caliber, and its talent from faculty and student body, appearing in our churches, civic clubs and public programs, are important factors in raising the standards and improving the culture of the entire community.

All of these however, are dependent upon a "School of Quality.” The “finished product.” like good gasoline or quality flour, must be a credit to the manufacturer and create favorable public acceptance. Accredited courses are essential, otherwise parents and students will have practiced a false economy.

As a church-related college, moral standards must Justify the sacrifices of money and talent which it requires. Churchmen and others who bear their full share of the tax burden for state schools, are in addition supporting the college because of their belief in the influence of a Christian School. That this faith and trust be not betrayed, the student should adjust himself to the college standards, for the student is graded by the college, and the college is graded by the student.

John Firestone Presents Platform

When a person announces to s voting body that, he is a candidate for an office. I think he should also inform that group who will be voting, that he has been contemplating constructively some achievements for which he would strive, were he elected.

With that intention, I should like to put before the student body of McPherson College some of my thoughts about the position of Student Council President, for which I am a candidate. This is my tentative platform.

(1) I believe in and will strive to arouse increased student inter est and participation in student government. To secure this end, I advocate several means.

(a) Public meetings of the Student Council, as are provided for in the student body Constitution under Article III. Section 5, (c). would invoke student interest in campus government.

(b) I have been thinking about proposing to the Student Council and to the student body, if I am elected, that a Student Court be established, similar to like organizations on other campuses. Such an organization, composed principally of students, could handle some of the disciplinary problems of the students. This Student Court could serve as arbitrator and interpreter in disputes in

which the Council’s actions are involved, e. g.. the recent conflict between the Student Council and the Board of Publications.

(2) I am in favor of supporting organizations which promote peace and good-will on an international basis. A good opportunity to practice this is to support the embryonic campus organization, the local UNESCO.

(3) I very much believe in promoting practices and activities which will tend to decrease the friction and enhance the good-will between various groups of students on the campus. Several means will serve that goal.

(a) The Student Council should extend co-operation to the Social Committee and take more initiative itself in making possible more successful social affairs at which students can learn to know each other better.

(b) A more universal support of interests common to all students would result in a more unified and integrated student body. By supporting the athletic program more faithfully, by emphasizing school spirit, and by encouraging move of the students to attend athletic and other college events, an organ-

I offer the above statement to the student body of McPherson College as goals toward which I will put my efforts as their Stud ent Body President, if I am elected to that office.

Spectator Salutes Lewis Florman

Many of McPherson’s graduates have made a name for them selves after leaving the campus of McPherson College. One of the men who have gone far in the field of electronics, is Mr. Lewis Florman. Mr. Florman, while in college, pioneered in building radio transmitters and receivers. However, during the passing years he has never varied far from the field.

Upon graduating from McPherson. he went into graduate study and a brief period of teaching physics and math in high schools. Shortly after his teaching career he was employed as an electrical engineer at the Western Electric Company in Chicago. While he was employed at the Western Electric Company, he met the now Mrs. Margaret Florman.

During the depression when jobs in engineering were hard to secure. Mr. Florman went into his own business. From 1932 until 1942 he was in his own shop building up a business, selling electrical equipment, and constructing testing equipment and doing some experimenting.

In 194 2 he decided to have a part In the research being conducted during the war in the field of radar. During this time he was employed by the "War Department.

After the war and things were returning to normalcy Mr. Florman and family Journeyed back to Chicago where he was employed as a radio engineer for the Belmont Radio Corporation. During the five years that Mr. Florman was

employed by the corporation the controlling interest in the company were bought by an eastern firm, which only recently transferred the engineering department back to the east coast.

Having a teen-age son ,and daughter discouraged him from traveling east again so the family decided to stay in the Chicago urea.

Mr. Florman is now actively interested in television and is the head of a television servicing department In a large Chicago appliance store. Mr. Florman feels that the practical experience he is now getting will make him more valuable man in the field of television when he returns to engineering in that field.

The Spectator salutes another McPherson College alumnus that has made good upon graduation from Mac.

Grades are out, spirits are low, here’s hoping the next nine weeks prove as interesting as the last.

Nevertheless, as Max harps for copy. It is my duty to let you in on whats with all the town gang.

Several of our tribe gained considerable notoriety last week by aiding the American Legion Team in winning the National Basketball Tournament Wiebe, Jones, Smith, Reinecker, Tillman, and of course we can’t forget George Voth, ever lovin’ hubby of Marilynn girl’s P. E. instructor. It is quite a feat for the fellows, and M. C. should be proud to have them on our campus.

Karl "Gallant" Grindle, stopped yours truly at the inn the other night to register a kick on the unfavorable publicity he received in "City Desk" last week. He wants everyone to disregard the remark that he is shy! Guess he’figures it might hamper his romantic status.

Ah. sweet spring, the time when a young man’s fancy turns to thoughts of love, etcetera. Duane Walter’s "Fancy" lately seems to be the sister of Kenny Newport. What this season doesn’t do for these bachelors.

Lenore Sorenson is a now addition to the "third finger, left hand" club. She is sporting a shiny rock from Dale. There is a good example of what Mac College does for people. They’ve gone together for years, but this "diamond fever" on the campus seemed to catch them too and WHO will be next???

It might be well to advise that Newport and Gatz aren’t as shy as they want people to believe. In fact, the other night they were rumored to have attended the open air theater. Fine thing, when they don’t plan to start showing pictures until June.

To the strains of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" we all file loyally to the stadium to cheer our team to victory. Let’s hack our team, and come out on top. (Advertisement for "Pepper getter uppers" club.)

Speaking of hacking things, it would be swell if all the town kids would back a candidate in the forthcoming election, and really campaign for him. Today is the day, and our chance to get a voice in the M. C. campus government, so come on, get out and vote.

If you have any contributions for this column, be sure and turn them in. We want to hoar about everyone.

And so, till next time, be good and don’t take any wooden nickels.

Ray Evans Happy At Bank Position

After playing high school, college, and professional football. Ray Evans is quite happy with his position in the City National Bank in Kansas City, Missouri.

The modest, 6 ft. 4 in., All American of 1947 told a Spee staff interviewer that he is glad for a rest from football and basketball: however he is not sure whether he will stay with the bank or play some more professional ball in the future.

Last year Ray Evans played with the Pittsburgh Steelers of the National Professional Football League. He said it is much differ-ent from playing for Wyandotte High School and Kansas University. While playing professional football for a year, Ray Evans realized that it was the same as any other job in that it meant his "bread and butter.” This realization took much of the fun out of playing.

During his high school career ,he received many college and university offers for scholarships. Ray Evans decided to choose Kansas University because his brother attended college there; and because most of his friends were going there. Another reason for choosing Kansas University was that Lawrence Is only 40 miles from bis Kansas City home.

Ray Evans recently married the girl whom he had dated since 1941. She was a freshman in high school when he was a senior; but when he returned from the military service, they found they were in the same year at college. They both graduated from Kansas University in 1947.

Besides football and basketball, Mr. Evans is fond of quail and pheasant hunting. He also finds time to fish in a little lake about 20 miles from Kansas City.

On March 28, Miss Lella Lehman presented an interpretation of the play' "The Late George Ap-ley,’’ to the city teachers association.

Dr. Mary Fee entertained at a dinner party in her home last Saturday evening. The guests were Dr. and Mrs. W. W. Peters, Miss Edna Neher, and Miss Hazel Fee.

Mrs. Don Raymond Rates Play High

The following review of the McPherson College Players production ‘'Blithe Spirit," was written by Mrs. Don Raymond, local club woman. Mrs. Raymond is highly interested in little theater work and comes from a family that has been connected with little theaters for many years. Her father was director of the Crossroads little theater stock company. Mrs. Raymond's review follows.

Comedy, with a plentiful supply of wit and ectoplasmic charm received an enthusiastic reception when Noel Coward’s Blithe Spirit floated into town under the expert directorial guidance of Mrs. George Noyes and her splendid cast. The McPherson College Players.

Billed in December, 1941 as "an improbable farce,” Blithe Spirit is exactly and magnifictently just that. It is a playful and gay excursion into psychical research, and is amiably diverting. Catching an absurd idea on wing, Mr. Coward whipped it into three hours of foolery and madness, with imagination, verbal fireworks and a gay, irreverent quality. He maintains so light a touch that Death, far from appearing morbid, is as carefree as a bachelor.

The entire production as viewed on opening night was presented with all the flourish of true showmanship. It was intuitively cast, splendidily produced, and handsomely acted.

The play began with a frivolous seance conducted in the home of an English novelist in search of local color for an impending novel. It backfired when the hero inadvertently brings the ghost of his first wife back to the home where he and his second wife are now living. As a result, the play entered into a highly fantastic and hilarious encounter with bigamy.

All this frothy and diverting nonsense was made engaging by a cast which was deligthful. Harry Knapp as the suave novelist was magnificent with as English an accent as the well-known Clifton Webb. Anita Norlin romped amusingly—and with delightful charm —as the vixenish but highly personable first wife, while attractive Kathleen Baerg huffed, expertly and formidably, as the fairly acidulous second wife.

Miss Della Lehman, to whom the play was rightfully dedicated, played the roll of the medium "to the hilt." It required a neat combination of metaphysical pretentiousness and the hearty manner and "chin up” attitude of a Girl Scout leader, which she gave it with prodigious humor and bounce.

Hearty congratulations should be extended to Dean Neher as stage manager whose inventiveness and ingenuity created devices that made flying vases, shaking mantels and hurtling books appear as ghostly as the "blithe spirit" herself. Applause should also be awarded to Miss Mary Ann Krum-bach for her deftly applied makeup, which was expertly and convincingly created.

Frances Campbell Creamer. '39 is remembered by people who knew her as one of the most, brilliant music students the department of music has produced. She was a leader on the campus and received special honors for that leadership.

At present she is in California. She is the mother of three children, two girls and one boy, ranging in age from one to six. We usually consider a mother with three children as having a full-time job in the home, but Mrs. Creamer finds time from many other activities.

She is an active church worker. Her contribution to the church would include choir director, Sunday School teacher, and pianist. In civic affairs we might list vicepresident of the Youth Symphony Orchestra Association, Incorporated, which promotes a symphony orchestra for teen-agers; also district chairman of Youth Conservation for Los Angeles District; C. F. W. Club Juniors: and Youth Conservation chairman for the Tuesday Afternoon Club Juniors. She is also on the board of direct-ors of the Philharmonic and Artist's Association, a member of the Women's Civic League, and a member of the Republican Women’s Study Club. In addition to these responsibilities she gives private music lessons in piano and violin.

We arc proud of an alumnus who is capable of doing so many things in the home, the church, and the community and doing them so well that she should be voted the most valuable person in civic work In the city of Pasadena, California. Our congratulations are extended to Frances Campbell Creamer because of this distinctive honor bestowed upon her.

The Presbies of the College of Emporia won McPherson’s opener in this year's baseball season. 6 to 4. The McPherson team proved however, that when it got settled down it could go to work since all of the C. of E. runs were scored in the first three innings on us many hits and four free passes.

The Bulldogs grouped two hits by Petefish and Arnold together with a free pass to Elven Ramsey for two runs in the second inning. An error, a hit by pitched ball, and Duane Ramsey’s hit in the fifth accounted for McPherson's other two runs.

A major coaching shake-up has occurred in some of the schools of the Kansas Conference which probably gives some light on the future prospects of some of the presently lending schools in athletics, especially basketball.

Coach Wally Forsberg, who piloted the Ottawa Braves to the Kansas Conference championship this season, has seen fit to make a new home at Kansas Wesleyan whose second-place club Forsberg beat in the play-off. The Joker is that Ottawa is losing the majority of its star players, while Kansas Wesleyan will be fielding virtually the same next year with the exception of a little more experience and the coaching of Wally Forsberg.

Rumors are roaming around the circuit that Forsberg will reinforce his team at Kansas Wesleyan by taking one of his players from Ottawa, center Bill Tiegreen, along. If he does, it will more complete his puzzle—lets just wait and see.

In becoming acquainted with students on McPherson College campus, a person will find many students engaged in many occupations—bell boy, cashier, dishwasher, waitress, librarian, garbage collector, janitor, stenographer, and baby sitters. And. too, there are gas-station attendants.

As a person sees students sweeping floors, washing dishes, taking dictation, mending and indexing books, whipping up delicious ice cream sodas, waxing the townspeople's floors, and shoveling snow, he realizes that McPherson College students are not lazy and certainly that it is not a disgrace to be able to say "I am working my way through school."

On the other hand, however, a person who must work his way through college may be inclined to think, "Why spend all my saving on a college education? I was doing just as well, if not better without it." But usually as that question arises in his mind, another statement jumps up to fight it. "Without a college education. ‘I will be stuck with this job for life. This job is not what I want as a life's work. What I am after, only a college education can help me to attain."
