Pondering With The President

Thank You

A lot of people at the college do a lot of things behind the scenes which help the college family in its unity, its progress, and enjoyment. It is a privilege to say, "Thank you,” once in a while.

To the retiring editor of the Spectator and her staff, we say a hearty, “Thank you,” for a job well done.

To the incoming editor and his staff, we say a hearty "Welcome,” and extend enthusiastic good wishes. We anticipate good Spectators, interestingly written, attractively laid-out, and filled with campus news and opinion.

Let all of us support these people, give them news, read the paper, pat them on the back for the long hours of work they put in.

Let us do this also, for the many others who help to make life smoother for us.


Mrs. Martin Finds Her Choice Profitable


Mrs. Alice Martin, registrar, had a rather unique experience in November. She received a letter on the 24th from TIME magazine asking her to send the name of her candidate for the “Man of the Year”.

If Mrs. Martin chose the same as the editors, she would receive a perpetual calendar as a token prize.

The “Man of the Year”, was to be announced in the first issue of TIME in 1959. by placing his picture on the cover of the magazine.

Mrs. Martin chose the “Man of the Year — 1958” as Premier Charles deGaulle of France. Her choice was the same as the editors.

Mrs. Martin received her perpetual calendar along with congratulations from the editors of TIME, for choosing the key figure in the news, and helping to


name the “Man of the Year.” Some of the past men who hove been chosen as “Man of the Year” are Khrushchev. Dulles. Adenauer. Churchill. Truman Eisenhower, and Roosevelt.



Connell’s Comer

Sunday, Jan. 25, was the beginning of Youth Week. Churches throughout the land participated by allowing their youth to be in charge of morning worship services.

The McPherson Church of the Brethren was one of these such churches. The youth department was in Charge of an interesting service with three presenting sermonettes.

Monday is the day on which, according to popular superstition, the weather can be forcasted. According to belief, on Feb. 2, the ground hog emerges from his winter burrow; if he sees his shadow, he returns and winter will last for six more weeks.

If the day is cloudy and he does not see his shadow, he remains outside, anticipating an early spring.

The legend is considered an American variation of the belief, long cherished throughout Christendom, that a sunny Candlemas (also Feb. 2 ) portends a cold spring.

A new semester means another new editor. One soon finds out that there is more to editing a single issue than meets the eye.

While writing this column I am wondering what should happen if my reporters fail to report. Each reporter plays an important part in each issue. Together they form the hub of the spinning wheel of a good paper.

Chaff Weeps . . .

Groaning Over Grades


By Faus, Foley, and Harris

In the days of old it was said unto us by the prophet Finkle-stein, "Woe unto ye, students of McPherson College, for the day of reckoning shall come, and the fatal Thursday shall descend upon thee.

"On that day the grades shall be issued unto thee, and there shall be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth, and couples shall depart into the outer darkness. Miss Neher’s light shall be beamed into the darkness, and the couples shall heed it not.

"For when the fatal Thursday hath descended, even then the axe shall be laid to the root of the trees, and every tree therefore that hath not bom good fruit shall be cut down and thrown into the fire."

And yet another minor prophet. Florynius, hath spoken and said, "Ye brood of vipers, bear fruit that befits repentence.

"But there is one coming after me who men shall call Geisert Disgust us, who is mightier than I, the thong of whose whip I am


not worthy to tie. And the col lege shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called blunderful counselor, flighty clod, the everlasting bother, the prince of fleece. .

"His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor and gather his wheat into the granary, but the Chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire."

And yerily, the words of the prophet Finklestein have been fulfilled. and the fatal Thursday hath indeed descended and wrought a plague upon the campus.

And truly, truly we say unto you, on today, which is Black Friday, this plague shall bo sent to the uttermost ends of the earth, for the epistles of grades are being sent into the households of all the disciples of learning.

And so the dark warning of T. F. M. S. L. hath come to pass, and today is THE FRIDAY MCPHERSON STUDENTS LOATHE.
