for more sweets to come.

As you were preparing to ascend to the fourth floor on which the sign "cream rises to the top", greets you. you see in Esther Moh-ler and Margaret Daggett's room gadgets of ail sorts, including a man with a grass head, and a prize snake of Esther’s.

Coming up the steps to fourth, you might have thought to your-half, they certainly can't think of any different and clover ideas to use in their rooms, but after you viewed each of the thirteen you must have decided that for mere freshmen and sophomores they did very well.

Fourth floor, in the spirit of doing service to mankind, had the BRETHREN RELIEF CENTER. Betty Ann Murray and Phyllis Bowman secungly got tired of looking at the paint on their north wall, so they covered it with wall paper and made a neat knick knack stand in front.

Donna Sooby thought the paper blinds weren’t ritzy enough for her. so she out did the rest or us with her venitian blinds and crisscross nylon curtains. Carol Huffman wanted to acquire some work during open house, therefore she had the guests sign their names on her dresser scarf which she hopes to embroider some day.

Some remarked to Mildred Beck and Betty Baker that their patchwork curtains looked like they ran out of material several times. How wrong they were, for the girls went begging from store to store for their material, and they themselves were surprised at the results. One of the fourth floor girls, Angle Flora, was generous hearted and broke up her little family of black and white teddy Bears for the evening by giving one to Clara Comann to adorn her bed.

As you passed by Marilee Grove and Rowan Helm’s room, you may have thought that you were in the wrong building for on the door was an entrance blank properly and completely filled out for admittance to a- mental institution.

Those of you who attended open house will never appreciate it as much as the girls whoso work of cleaning one measly little room took nearly all day. If I had not been one of the girls. I would have thought them a little "off”, if they had told me that it took that long hut oven some that got an early start at seven in the morning were not through giving finishing touches until five or six in the evening.

The halls during the cleaning process were filled with furniture, junk. mops, and dust rags, and it would have been hard to recognize the same building at four in the afternoon and at 7:30 Saturday evening.

At 9:30 Arnold occupants gave a sigh or relief that it was all over, and decided that the day of hard work was worth the compliments and Jokes about their rooms since it comes only once a year, and after all it is nice to see what the room looks like while clean for a couple hours.

Several parties have been given recently on campus. Third floor Arnold had a "surprise" birthday party in honor, of Ann Carpenter, Monday night. (Ann is 19 now). Thirty-three girls crowded into one small room and devoured pieces of birthday cake, ritz crackers and pop. As one girl put it. "there was ceiling room only.” Flash pictures were taken of the group. . .boys desiring to purchase prints, please see Lois Yoder or Rita Ellen Royer.

Kline Hall also had a party Monday night. It was held in the? room of Naomi Mankey and Frances Hall. The purpose of the party was to watch the moon eclipse. However, the only thing that eclipsed was Ginger's nose when the girls opened, the window. Refreshments were ritz crackers, cheese and cookies. The drink consisted of rubbing alchohol and furniture polish.

Miss Neher gave a birthday party in her room Sunday evening for the girls having birthdays in September October and June. Those present were Lorene Clark, Mari-lee Grove, Doris Kesler, Dorothy Swinger, Martha Frantz, Wilda Minnix, Elsa Kurtz, Carol Huffman, and Joann Lehman.

Parents have been visiting their college offsprings the past week. to find out, no doubt, how much money little Mary has been spending. Mr. and Mrs. Roy Frantz of Conway Springs visited their daughter, Marty Frantz. Rita Ellen Royer's parents. Mr. and Mrs. Rudy Royer of Dallas Center, Iowa were guests last week, and Mr. and Mrs. M. E. Neher of Quinter, Kansas visited Rowena.

Other visitors on campus last week were Kathy McLeod, La-von Widegron, and Vernie Burger. The girls came through McPherson on their way home from New Windsor, Maryland after having given a year of volunteer service.

Play practice has begun for the actors and actresses of McPherson College. The cast is large and since the old saying, "The more the marrier,” still holds true, the cast has enthusiastically started their work of learning lines, getting to practice on time, and the numerous other details which must be observed by Players.

Quad pictures were taken last week and one freshman boy was overheard remarking. "Why do they make us dress like this. .. we're only freshmen." But everyone. young and old. dressed up for the Quad pictures. It shouldn't he so hard dressing up for one day, hoys. After all, in some colleges the men wear white shirts and ties all the time!

"Hurry up with the dust mop. Is your room cleaned already? Oh, your room looks just perfect!” These words could be heard ringing through Arnold Hall dozens of times last Saturday morning. Yes, the girls were frantically cleaning for Open House. Many of the girls helped with special jobs and were busy all day Saturday. Each girl enjoyed showing her room to the visitors, and the cleaning part of it was really the fun of it all.

One freshman girl had an important question to ask in Arnold dorm meeting, concerning Open House. The curious girl wanted to know if the fellows would ''take” souvenirs from the various rooms as they went through. She was as

Hoch    Petefish    O’Dell    Kerr . . . Few Brights Lights In Jewell Game

The game is even larger from the point-of-view of the team’s future. At stake are first place in the Kansas Conference, amends for the disastrous defeat last year, and perhaps the key to the season's remainder.

After all teams but Ottawa have played one game in the conference, Baker and McPherson are on top with one victory apiece. The Bulldogs edged Bethel 20-19 two weeks ago. and Baker muzzled pass-conscious College of Emporia 13-0 last week.

There are no illusions about the top spot on the conference. No one with a possible gleam of reality can expect Woody and his aids to make a contender in one year after three and one half years of gridiron poverty. Even though a great improvement has already been realized, the squad must still see if they can duplicate the form they displayed in the first half. against Bethel and occasionally on offense versus William Jewell against a team of Baker's allaround class.

Last year the Wildcats inflicted a 64-0 defeat upon the Bulldogs, the greatest defeat ever dealt to McPherson College. Baker was charged with 135 yards in penalties. and the Bulldogs lost their leading ground gainer. Glenn Pyle, for the season and lineman Don Stevens for three games via injuries. The Wildcats went on to win their first Kansas Conference football championship since 1942, with the tarzan-like Sailor Boy Hodges running wild.

Coach Karl Spear this season has 20 lettermen returning from the ’49 group including bouncing Boyce Smith, the kinky-haired onetime Kansas City, Mo., high school ace. Smith has not only continued his all-conference play of 1949 but has taken up much of the slack left by the graduation of Sherm Kol-acny, Roy Braley, and Rod Enos.

With Smith in the backfleld are two juniors, Harry Barrett and Bus Hill, and sophomore Jerry Steele. Hill, a hard charging 180 pounder from Wellsvllle, Kas,. is the inside threat if the defense sets for Smith's outside wanderings.

Spear has five veteran ends topped by Gene Chubb and Warren Vance. Bud Sloop 230 pound Topeka junior who kicks the extra points, tops the tackles. Allconference John Zorn is the team's top blocker at center, but has only freshmen replacements.

Spear has been lamenting his reserve guard play with lettermen Dick Haas shifted to wingback to remedy a weakness there, but let-termen Larry Noll and Walt Martin are back.

The Wildcats’ non-conference ambitions have been rather force-ably thwarted by Kansas State 55-0 and Washburn 20-7, but they rebounded strongly in defeating C of E 13-0 last week.

Barring mid-week practice injuries coach Woodard expects to field a team at full strength for the game tonight. Wayne Blicken-staff, who sat out all but four plays at William Jewell with a wrenched knee, still is favoring the joint but is expected to start tonight.

George Keim, who was ill, and Don Stevens and Jerry Irons, who were slightly injured at William Jewell, are now fit for play. The weakness of the entire defense last week indicates a rough night if the Bulldog defenders have not improved.

The Kansas Conference gets into full swing this week with three league games tonight and Kansas Wesleyan entertaining St. Benedicts at Salina'6 Martin Stadium tomorrow.

Ottawa will become the last conference team to open loop activity as they play host to Bethel tonight after two surprising showings in non-conference play. The Braves lost 20-0 last week, but to Vol-ney Ashford’s powerful Missouri Valley outfit. The Vikings had previously beaten the College of Emporia 45-0. so Ottawa may not be a year away as Braves’ coach Dick Peters anticipated.

Defending champion Baker finally traveled back to their own class and displayed championship defensive form in stopping C of E 13-0. Bouncing Boyce Smith led the Wildcats ns usual, tossing one scoring pitch to Gene Chubb. Harry Barrett scored the other TD for Baker on a 20 yard jaunt. Baker completely stifled the slick passing game of Presby Don Durand.

In other games last week McPherson was trounced 59-19 by William Jewell. Bethany and Kansas Wesleyan tied 14-14, and Bethel bounced Sterling 14-0.

The Swede-Coyote affair was raggedly played. Bill Carlson sparked the hard-fighting Scandinavians although it was two Howard Price passes to Dave Anderson that accounted for the scoring. Price injured his back in the game. The permanent loss of the veteran quarterback from Lawrence would be a tough blow to coach Ray Hahn.

Harold Frazzell, former puppet of C of E coach Wayne McConnell at Downs, scored both Coyote touchdowns.

Bethel bounced back from their opening 20-19 defeat to McPherson by nicking Sterling 14-0. The game was marred by the antics of a Bethel official who threw a bull at a game official when auger-ed by a decision against the Gray Maroons.

Intramurals

Volleyball Standings

There will be a meeting of the men's intramural committee — Joe Pate. Howard Mehlinger, Glenn Nicholson. Mel Fishburn, and Dean Coughenour —next Thursday at 9:50 a. m. to discuss plans for the coming intramural basketball program.

before Kerr took a pitch from the 25 yard line for six points.

• The Bulldogs played their best ball in the third quarter, roaring back from an early Bob Gadt to Cook scoring aerial that raised the score to 46-6. After Butler's kick slithered out of bounds on the 20 yard stripe. Tommy O'Dell slipped a short pass to Kerr who outfooted the entire Cardinal team to score. The play went 80 yards.

Kerr also added the third touchdown shortly after Butler had fumbled the kickoff and McPherson recovered. Runs by Hoch and Ball put the ball on the 27, from which Kerr ambled through the line for the Bulldogs last score.

There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better, for worse, as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given him to till.—Ralph Waldo Emerson
