more than two hundred lumni, students, faculty members and friends of McPherson College gathered around the specially decorated dining tables in Arnold Hall and once more ex-changed tidings over a meal that truly represented Mother's Thankgiving dinner back home.
Mon., Nov. 25— The ladies ol the Cosmos Club entertained their husbands and friends to an old fashion-ed turkey dinner this evening in The dining hall of Arnold Hall. The dinner was very informal, each one having something to do during the evening.
Dr. J. J. Yoder led the group In songs our mothers used to sing after which four members of the advanced expression class pantomimed James Russel Lowell's "The Courtin’".
The play "The Queen's Husband" which is to be presented by the Thes-pian Club January 13 in the Community Hall has been given by a number Of leading Little Theatre organizations and colleges during the two seasons since its first professional New York success when Roland Young played the part of the King.

NOW BEING ORGANIZED
BULLDOGS 0 -SWEDES 12
From four states besides our own Kansas, former students were gathered together for the big dinner and a jolly good time together in preparation for the big game that followed and ended so disastrously.

FACTORS CREATING WAR SENTIMENT, C. E. DISCUSSION
It has been successfully produced first by Leland Stanford University, the Dallas Little Theatre, The Little Theatre of New Orleans, Wisconsin Players, University of California, Kearney Players, Kearney, Nebr., and Kansas City Theatre are some of the organizations that have produced the play.
Work has been started on the or-ganization of the college deputation team. A number have signified their Interest in the project but organization into suitable groups seems some-what difficult. It is hoped that teams may be sent out by Christmas. Long trips will be made Into Colorado, Oklahoma and Southwestern Kansas. Week end trips to nearby towns will also be made. The program will largely be for world peace.
Nonken, Miller and Bigham Make Substantial Gains For The Canine Eleven
SCHWALM SPEAKS TO
THE Y. M. C. A. GROUP
The homecoming today is probably the biggest and best of its kind ever held on the campus in the history of McPherson College.
Sun., Dec. 1--Continuing the general theme of peace which has been the topic of discussion in Christian Endeavor for a number of weeks, the program this evening concerned the factors creating war sentiment. Fear,
economic imperialism and education for war were considered as things antagonistic in peace.
Some of the comments of these organizations on the play are "No play in years has caused so much com-
ment". "We never tired of rehearsing the clever lines". The high spot of the season, "clever, timely, and pungent with satiric wit".
After the dinner, which was served by a number of college girls dressed in white, Dr. J. H. Harnly, vice-presi-dent of the college, acted as toast-master and presented the various speakers in turn.
John Lehman, president of the stu-dent council, extended the welcome to the visiting alumni and former stu-dents and the response was given by Kenneth Rock, graduate of '27.
Dr. J. J. Yoder pointed out the im-provements made on the campus since the first building was construct-ed. Fahnestock Hall, which housed
Following a song by the group, Helen Eberly and Ruth Turner sang a vocal duet after which Emery Metzger, as leader, conducted devotions. Glenn Harris then spoke showing In-stances wherein fear has been one of the direct causes of war. In a brief way Helen Judson pointed out ex-
amples in which industrial imperialism was one of the basic factors which led to conflict and Lawrence Turner showed how the present educational system is more conductive to a war spirit than to an atmosphere of peace.
RAYBURN ADDRESSES STUDENT BODY AT CHAPEL
Wed. Nov. 27--Rev. Rayburn,

"Peace is impossible ", Metzger de-clared in summing up the conclusions drawn from the three articles. "until peoplu comprehend the significance of the Brotherhood of man and live the ideals set forth by the Prince of Peace.
Tues., Nov. 26--Secular Civiliza-tion is a danger. It is the application of the scientific attitude and methods to all problems. There is coming to be a World Culture based upon this attitude.
This morning D. Schwalm com-mented on one of Dr. Olden's books. He points out three places where Secular Civilization is out of harmony with Christianity.
First, faith in a personal God is thought to be no longer possible nor necessary. As a consequence prayer is useless.
Second, reIiance is placed upon ex-permentation for truth in secular matters but the church has quoted authority. Another approach must be found.
Third, Christianity is personal. It helps society by personal contact. But secular matters and business is very impersonal.
Wed., Nov. 27—The old bulldog
pep was shown tonight at the pep
meeting held In the college chapel. Coach George Gardner introduced each player on the team telling what successes each had made on the grid-iron and what be would do to the
"Terrible Swedes" on Thursday. After the short pep meeting in the chap-el the funeral procession led by the college band marched to the athletic field where a "Terrible Swede" was thrown on a roaring fire and burned to ashes.

The great realities cannot be found through science alone, they must be found In the lives of Christian men.

MISS BROWN ATTENDS
TOPEKA CONFERENCE
Yeah I arrived home amid showers of blessings. mud, snowballs, and other expressions of joy. I was nearly strangled with demonstrated affection from all members of the family from the dog to the maid.
"First", I says, I want some double deck biscuits,
don't serve me syrup". This was just a starter for
ham that isn't camouflaged as pork, and above all real butter, honey, coffee strong enough te hold a flapper's reputation, eggs that have recently seen a hen. Thanksgiving which came on Thursday after Wednes-day.
In the afternoon the favorite boy friend arrived and dre?sed to be entertained so we turned on the radio and
listened to the Bulldog-Swede game which took place during much yelling and snow and scores piled up for the bulldogs. Nonken made three sensational 82 yard runs resulting in a score of 21-0 in favor of the battling bulldogs. We all got so excited from the radio news that
the neighbors came In to see If the folks were having a family row. We told them it was Just the kids fighting over the Turkey neck and the extra piece of pie at the second table.
After four big days of vacation I had to return to M C. on the Rock Island that was kinds Rocky or the Gallivanting Grasshopper Instead-- What? no remarks from the peanut gallery down front, even If I did gain 13 million calories.
Fri., Nov. 29 —Miss Jessie Brown, dean of music of McPherson College, was called to Topeka today to confer with the state superintendent and the secretary of the state board of edu-cation, in the revision of the course in public school music leading to a state certificate. A representative from each college in the state was present.
Now for the big feed. Early on Thanksgiving morning Mother wouldn't give us any breakfast so we could eat lots of dinner. About noon all the relatives arrived pro and con and from their expressions, I think they had been saving up their appetites too. Relatives al-ways have big appetites. Thanksgiving or not. I thank-ed my stars I was grown up and going to college as I didn’t have to wait for second table which is no joke, if you remember, with nothing left but drumsticks and cranberry seeds. After waiting for two hours I think I
Monday 9 a.m. -- Shut off that alarm clock. Yes I know I can't cut any more classes. Guess I'll have to get up. No, I don't know my lesson. Where
in heck is that notebook? What? No ma'am I don't know. What a wonderful chapel and have to keep
awake since I'm in the front row (another penalty of being a senior) besides close up of faculty members.
Say girls how about a feed tonight at about 10:30. Fried chicken, cake and all the fixin's, eh? Sounds keen! Twelve bells—obligation by force--ring-a-ring.
Yours tiI the next Gobble day--Sea-See.
Nov. 28-- More than twenty-five hundred persons saw a determined Swede football machine swamp a fer-ocious Bulldog team here this afternoon to a final count of 12 to 0 in the ninth annual Bethany-McPherson Thanksgiving grid battle which placed the Swedes in second rank in the Kansas conference standing this year The Scandinavians were at top form and seemed to sweep the Bulldogs off their feet from the very start after taking advantage of a couple breaks at the expense of the Bull-dogs. Two fifteen yard penalities and a fumble recovered by their opponents who took the ball on the local 5-yard line, gave the Bulldogs a decided disadvantage in the first few minutes of the game, which was re-sponsible for loose playing on their part, due to their efforts to make their plays super-exact. The Bulldogs were not up to form in any part of the game for they were outplayed worse than the score indicated and were unable to make the proper yardage until after a substitution had been made in the final minutes of the fourth period. Nonken, Miller and Bigham were unable to gain much territory behind a leaky interference but were responsible for the larger share of the Bulldog gains which
came by way of forward passes and line plunges. The Swede halfback, Bruen, was the terror to the McPherson ends, who made long substantial gains by racing around the Bulldog line on his famous end-runs, protected by an air-tight interferences. Podigo and StiIlion made good gains on off-tackle plays. With a dandy line and strong and heavy backfield working as a unit the Swedes continually penetrated the Bulldog line in their forward marches across the field, which made the Bulldogs play a defensive game throughout until the last few moments when Bigham was able to gain enough yardage with his line plunges that his team kept posession of the ball.
Miss Edith McGaffey, head of the English department, attended the national council of English teachers at Kansas City, Missouri. Friday and
Saturday, returning to McPherson Sunday.
ONLY TWO TRY OUT
FOR WOMEN'S DEBATE
Mon., Dec. 2--No definite date for the women's debate try-outs has been set due to the fact that but two of the necessary all entrants have definitely decided to try out.
Debates with other schools have been arranged providing a team ma-terializes, but as yet only two fem-
inine debaytors have expressed the intention of tryout. However, coach Maurice A. Hess is still hopeful.
If we could just put dresses on some of the members of the men's second team we wouldn't need to worry about our women debators". Hess smilingly observed this morning, "because there is some excellent material in that second team".

SEEING AMERICA FIRST
Friends came—and have Gone again Into their separate fields for life’s attainments. They journeyed back to the "Old School” to once more enjoy the many thrills that accompany a Homecomlng and a "Swede” game. We welcome them all back again next Thanksgiving—and then— watch us "Beat the Swedes".
The generous turkey dinner last Thursday, due to the courtesy of the college management, not only appeased the appetites of all the students but filled their soul with kindness of heart with admiration for those re-sponsible. For those who were not privileged to eat Thanksgiving dinner at home, the turkey and fixins' seemed to reflect a vision of Mother's table at turkey time.

SENIORS TO CARRY CASES
Exchange Service
A large number of students, those living a great distance from their homes, were entertained during the short vacation by the "Y" organisations with a social evening together and helped them to forget about the home folks. The quietness of a deserted campus during a vacation is enough to make one homesick. The "Y's" solved the problem and have added another mark for their merits of campus life.

Captain Ray Nouken and his team mates won the greatest victory that can be won in athletics—they conquered defeat with good sportsmanship.
In the mountains of New Mexico it is the loser and not the winner in athletical contests among the Pueblo Indians that receives the prizes. It may be through due sympathy that he is feted and given large quantities of foods and presents if he loses, but it is sportsmanship.
A good sportsman is one who is fair and generous: a good loser and a graceful winner. The Gardner crew is made up of such a body of players that are not playing for individual honor, but for the school and good clean sportsmanship. They have triumphed in defeat.
WORLD PEACE
If the destiny of the human race is based on individualism and individualism is maintaining the political and economic independence of the Individual, then world peace may mean the complete reformation of the "Great Society” in which we live.
We are created a selfish, scientific and dominating being. We are selfish In that we demand the bigger end of the deal. We are scientific In that we are Inventive, creative and to a certain extent we are destructive. Dominating and selfishness may come hand In hand but a distinction may people—but a law giving horde of money snatchers.
Some have anticipated that the so-called League of Nations Is the only be drawn where we desire to be "lord over all". We are not a law absorbing means by which world peace may be realized. If any Immediate measures are to be attained toward world peace It will be through diplomatic relations. If the permanent peace of the future Is to become permanent it is for the church and school of today to excerise its Influence on the rising generation.
Immediately after the last great catastrophe the League of Nations was attempted—and is still being attempted. It was a great body or recognized nations that combined for the attainment of world peace, disarm-ament and anti-war in general. Only minor matters have been solved by the League of Nations and Its real strength, if it may be called such. has not been shown.
World peace will not be realized through the League of Nations, nor anything of great significance can be attained, until all nations have disarmed. It is only a matter of who will disarm first.
A year ago the very existence of the League was on the balance. Its one great defect was that it lacked executive jurisdiction over its own decisions. It could make a law or rule but could not enforce it. The same may be said of the World Court.
We are spending more money today for our armies and navies than we were spending In 1913. At the present no two nations would trust the other to his back. It fear of each other that is blocking a complete program of International peace.
The Bethany Messenger recently announced that the Lindsborg famous chorus would present "The Messiah" in Kansas City December 14 and 15.
Bethany college is indebted to the chorus that yearly presents "The Messia". The chorus is one of the most highly trained choral organizations in the world. Many other *'Messiah's" are given but the Lindsborg
"The Messiah" is a tribute to Bethany college and its high standards of musical achievements. The Lindsborg college was directly responsible for the organization of this famous choral organization and has made the Swedish town to the north one of the leading musical centers of the middle west.

BOHLING DISCUSSES
WASTE IN CHAPEL
Mon., Nov. 25--Prof. E. R. Boh-ling, new professor in the commer-cial department, spoke in chapel this morning.
The trial of anticipation seemed to have been his chief worry, but he remarked that he would now have something to be thankful for.
Incidentally, he assigned new cognomen to faculty and student body. His remarks centered about the theme of "Waste". Waste of consumption is especially pronounced in military establishment as there is more there than in all other sources put together. Others are drugs, commercial vice, adulterated foods and materials, quackery, uneconomical speculation, luxury of the wealthy, change of fashion, and commercialized reaction. In production the waste due tn inefficient management, lack of labor utilization, community waste and wasted resources are enormous.
Those who spent Thanksgiving vacation at their homes were: Margaret Steggeman, Eugenia Dawson, Pauline Dell, Esther Brown, Irene and Ellen Steinberg, Chester Carter, Viola De Vilbiss, Alberta Yoder, Nellie Collins, Florence Lehman, Elfie Abeldt, Verna Beaver, Helen Buskirk, Christine Mohler, Bula Blickenstaff, Mildred Swenson, Ethel Jamison. Blanche Holgerson, Mary Davis, Odessa and Genevieve Crist, John Berkebile, Leland Lindell, Gilbert Myers, Herbert Hoffman, Clarence Zink, Ray Nonken, Ruben Bowman.
Irene Gibson spent Saturday and Sunday at the home of Helen Flory in Great Bend.
Velma Butterbaugh visited at the home of Ellen Steinberg during vacation.
Mary Weddle spent Saturday and Sunday in Topeka and Kansas City.
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Stover, Mr. and Mrs. Miles Blickenstaff, Mrs. John Daggett, Mr. and Mrs. Foster Hoover and Mr. and Mrs Glenn Strickler spent Thanksgiving at the

THANKSGIVING HOMECOMING
the entire institution and in ending prophesied as to future additions and improvements.
Dr. V. F. Schwalm, president of McPherson College, addressed the group and expressed his appreciation on having so large a number of the alumni back among us again.
A short playlet, “All On A Summer Day”, was given by Velma Wine, Helen Hudson, Florence Lehman and Ida Lengel. Mrs. Anne Tate, voice instructor, sang two numbers, "coming Home” and “I Dunno”.
Paul E. Sargent, ‘24, spoke on the history of Bulldog-Swede relations and especially of the time when McPherson was conference champions.
Because of the large gathering of alumni, Prof. G. N. Boone, who has been working on a committee that is investigating the possibilities of an alumni magazine, explained what has been done and the relative cost of such a venture.
At one-thirty the eager Bulldog supporters adjourned and made the wayward journey to the already crowded athletic field.

Ray Nonken was the only man in the group to receive the votes
of all six of the conference coaches for the position he has been given on this imaginary team. Nonken is Edmond's choice for the All-Kan-sas team, including players from the Central Kansas, and Big Six Conferences.
In another column the Kansas Con
ference teams appear as they were chosen by the coaches last week. Mc-
Pherson was treated liberally for the low fourth place she holds in the con-ference football standings, but this is the way the players were allotted:

There are some things that we do not understand about the mythical eleven, but they are chosen by the coaches in the conference and they have all been in a good position to judge the abilities and performance each man. One thing unique this year was the fact that Rapel Perkins, the negro halfback on the Kansas Wesleyan's team was given a berth on the All-Star eleven, being the first negro to land such a position in the Kansas conference. Race prejudice is gradually being laid aside.
