Professor Paul Halladay, baritone, Director of the Department of Music in Manchester College. Indiana, will be in McPherson from Sunday until Tuesday of the coming week. He comes here under a plan of exchange professorships and exchange recitals between Professor Halladay and Professor Nevin Fisher of McPherson College.

Professor Halladay’s schedule will be a busy one while on the McPher-son College Campus. On Sunday morning he will present a solo at the Church service; on Sunday evening he will lecture at the church on some phase of church music. On Monday morning he will sing in chapel and on Monday afternoon will meet with the A Cappella Choir. On Monday eve-ling beginning at 8: 00 o’clock, Professor Halladay aud Professor Fisher will present a joint recital in the chapel auditorium. At some period of the college schedule on Tuesday Professor Halladay will present his lecture, "Trends in Twentieth Cen-tury Music, ” which will be illustrated with phonograph records, and 4: 00 to 6: 00 on Tuesday he will meet in an advisory capacity with the Vo-cal Repertoire Class.

Professor Halladay is a graduate, with Honorable Mention in Singing, from the American Conservatory of Chicago. He received the Master of Music Degree from that institution, and has been the Director of Music in Manchester College since 1928. He has been a soloist in “The Mes-siah’’ at a number of times and pla-ces. Of his singing, The Music News has the following to say. “Paul Hal-laday showed remarkable natural talent combined with the best sort of schooling in his singing. The words were understandable and the shading artistic and colorful. ”

Professor Halladay will be ac-companied by his wife on this visit. They are friends of both President and Mrs. Peters of McPherson College and President and Mrs. Schwalm of Manchester College.

In order to defray traveling expenses an offering will be requested on Sunday evening and also at the joint recital on Monday evening.

Immediately following the formal dinner last Wednesday evening the McPherson College music faculty presented a varied program of vocal and piano numbers in the chapel. Those attending the concert were high in their praise of the performers. Those taking part in the recital were Miss Jessie Brown, pianist and Dean of Music, Miss Gulah Hoover, pianist, and Mr. Nevin Fisher, Tenor.

Especially well received was the two piano number “Valse” by Anton Arensky performed by Miss Hoover and Miss Brown. Mr. Fisher’s second group of numbers also proved interesting. This group consisted of some of the lesser known songs of Stephen Foster and also included his well-beloved “Beautiful Dreamer. ”

To Teach Course On How Christian Character Develops

Dr. R. E. Mohler. head of the biology department at McPherson College will be one of the teachers in the community training school which opened Wednesday night at 7: 30 o’clock at the First Congregation church. Dr. Mohler will teach a course entitled “How Christian Character Develops. ”

Five debate teams from McPherson College will participate in the intercollegiate debate tournament at Pittsburg Teacher’s College, on November 21 and 22, it has been announced by Dr. D. W. Bittinger, debate coach.

Dr. Bittinger and Prof. J. H. Fries will accompany the debaters as they journey to Pittsburg for the first debate tournament of the season.

Wayne Geisert and Ernest Peterson, Kathleen Brubaker and Blanche Geisert will enter the senior college division of the tourney.

Betty Burger and Maxine Ruehlen, Dean Stucky and Nathan Jones, James Burger and Joseph Hoffert will be eligible for participation in the junior college tournament.

Debate will be on the regular intercollegiate question.

Dr. Burton Metzler, professor of Bible at McPherson College, will be one of the instructors in the community training school for Sunday School teachers and officers, which will be held at the First Congregational Church each Wednesday evening starting November 12 and continuing to December 17.

Dr. Metzler will teach the course “The New Testament. Its Content and Values.” The course will deal with the general content of the New Testament and its values for the development Of the Christian life.

Hard times, an honest-to-goodness bread line—only it was chile—and raggedy clothes characterized the first sophomore frolic of the year last Friday evening.

About forty sophomores attended the party at the gymnasium to join in the group games, stunts, commun-ity singing and chill-eating.

The committee in charge of the evening's entertainment included Betty Burger and Jean McNicol, co-chairmen, Wayne Parris, and Carl

Leo Kasey

“Why is grass green? ” was the striking question with which the General Motors representatives opened his demonstration, “Previews of Progress” in chapel Wednesday morning.

Research laboratories are turning out synthetic products which may be in general use in the future. Think of wearing a quart of goat’s milk around your neck in the form of a neck tie. It is possible to make suits from skimmed milk, and glass can be made into dresses. A common expression after a party might he “Wasn’t Mabel wearing a pretty plate glass window last night? ”

Some day it may be possible to sit down to a breakfast of sheep’s wool while wearing cow's milk on your back.

These experiments are interesting and amusing, but they may also lead to more conveniences, opportunities, and jobs in the future.

Macollege’s annual formal banquet which was sponsored by the Women’s and Men’s Councils had for its theme last night the Thanksgiving motif. Guests assembled in the Brethren Church reception room at 6: 30 and were met by Alice Frantz, the maid, and Bob Frantz, the butler, who in turn announced the guests to Miss Shockley, the hostess, Prof. S. M. Dell, the host, Miss Mary Cooley, the guest of honor, Orvelle Long, president of the Women’s' Council, and Ted Washburn, president of the Men’s Council.

Following the assembling in the reception room and finding their dinner partners, the guests proceded into the dining hall. Table decorations were carried out in keeping with the Thanksgiving theme, with candy turkeys, fall colored leaves, coral berries, and wooden candlesticks and colored caudles.

During the five course meal, which was served by waitresses and waiters dressed in black, soft strains of music were played.

Table hostesses and hosts for the evening were members of the Men’s and Women's Councils.

After the dinner, Professors Nevin Fisher, Jesse Brown, and Gulah Hoover presented a music recital in the college auditorium.

Fisher sang selected numbers, accompanied by Miss Hoover. Miss Brown and Miss Hoover played several numbers arranged for two pianos.

This banquet is an annual affair sponsored by the Women’s and Men’s Councils, under the direction of Miss Shockley, Dean of Women, and Prof. S. M. Dell, Dean of Men.

Be it known to all ye Dogpatch men who remain single, that Unhappy Sadie Hawkins Day again passed and yo’ can rest easy ’till nest yar’ about this same time.

The annual marryin’ festivity started with a bang at 1: 00 P. M. Friday Nov. 7, and ended breathlessly at 5 P. M. Sat., Nov. 8. Much yelling, running, and a gradual wearing out process were the results of the day and a half of tumult. Developments show that we have several marathon runners on the campus. Peaches, the piker, ran all day but later developments show that Queenie had him ketched all the time.

A progressive party in the gym, chapel, and WAA room climaxed the historic occasion. The party was in charge of Singin’ Pappy Albright and Marryin' Dean Stuckey. (Witness woo pitchin Dogpatch style by Lonesome Washburn and Cousin Voshell). Married men pitted their speed and accuracy against the unattached males, and of course won the bottle race by a wide margin.

Feature attraction of the evening was the choice of Jess Holloway as Lil Abner by the disappointed gals, and the selection of Ruth Huxman from the married gals for Daisy Mae the blond beauty of the Blue Ridge. Soon bold bachelors turned baboon and mounted the rafters, for the gals

was after them. Marryin' Stucky brough out a ladder and all was ketch ed.

“This Amazing America” was a story of America, a professor and a gal. Yep! she got him too.

Later all Dogpatchers left the party by way of the WAA and received their rations of Happy Hollow Nectar and Presarved Turnips. Holes in the turnips were for fingers.

Thus ended officially the famous Sadie Hawkins Day. What happened afterwards I cannot tell accurately. It seems that girls always get more points when they have charge of the evening than when the boys do. I can't figure it out, can you? or maybe I can too.

At 4: 00 p. m. next Wednesday afternoon the McPherson delegation to the national journalism convention, will embark on their four hundred and fifty mile journey to St. Louis,

where the convention is to be held.

With Clancy Bunyan, spectator col-umn editor at the wheel, the car transporting the Spectator delegation will arrive at St. Louis early Wed-nesday morning. Other Spectator del-egates to the convention are Paul Dannelley. Spectator editor-in-chief: John Trostle, Spectator business manager; and Ernest Dale, Spectator managing editor.

Continuing throughout November 20, 21, and 22. the national ACP Journalism Convention, featuring the lecturing staff of foremost journal-ists and writers of the United States.

Six cars, traveling caravan style, will transport the twenty-eight delegates from McPherson College to the national convention, Lyle Albright announced last Wednesday. Under the leadership of Lyle Albright and Lena Belle Olwin, co-chairmen, have planned for the attendance at the conference.

Such a large delegation of students should represent McPherson College and set her off with flying colors at the conference. The annual conference of Student Volunteer Commissions of Brethren colleges, held last year at McPherson College, is attended by many Brethren college students all over the United States. Each one of the seven Brethren colleges is well represented at the annual conference.

Professor S. M. Dell, who will also act in the capacity of driver, is the faculty adviser for the trip. Others driving cars are Lyle Albright, Joe Goffner, Miss Neher, and Professor Blair. Students to attend this conference are Lena Belle Olwin, Lyle and Rowena Albright, Margaret Hamm, Kurtz Ebbert, Lucile Horner. Eunice Swank, Joe Goffner, Willo-dene Argo, Twila Peck, Lucile Harris, Maurine Blair, Violet Bollinger. Kenneth Wampler, Alice Mae Boyce. Wayne Crist, Alvin Klotz, William Gahm, Melvin Fager, Dick Burger, Maurine Gish, Leonora Shoemaker. Russell Stern, Leslie Rodgers, Vesta Vannorsdel, Harriett Pratt, and Anna Mae Nickey.

Ryan and Allen, representatives for the local branch of the Southwestern Bell Telephone Company, demonstrated in chapel Friday the marvels of the modern telephone in-dustry.

The common watch-tick was amp-lified 1000 times and projected to the chapel audience through the medium of a super-charged amplifier.

The beat of the human heart was amplified over the same system when Roy McAuley was called to help in the demonstration. Roy’s heart-beat was checked before and during the process of holding hands with the pretty model.

Reported to this assemblage was the fact that in McPherson about 6, 200 telephone calls are made every day. There are 43, 000, 000 telephones in use in the world, and McPherson is in line for direct communication with approximately 96 percent of them.

Freshmen Have Skating Party

Seventy “freshies”, brightly bedecked in green caps and green sashes—purely for identification purposes, of course— joined in the skate-fest last Friday evening.

Arriving at Peterson’s Roller Skating Rink, via cars, the party started at 7: 30 and was well-attended as the second freshman class social of the year.

Kenneth Wampler took the responsibility of planning the party.

Armistice Sobers America

Twenty-third anniversary of a forgotten peace—symbol of a momentous outgrowth of a worldwide desire for peace November 11, 1941, day of celebration for Armistice Day has passed. And with the passing of this day, America is reminded of the turmoil and destruction; the filth and desecration, of the

second war to end all wars.

America is reminded of the irony of that other peace which at the time seemed so desirable and so inherently possessive of every possibility of permanent world peace. America is reminded of her entrance into the other war, and of the ultimate downfall of the ideals for which she fought. America, remembering these things, is saddened and uneasy. She is saddened at the futility and inefficacy of the last world war and its subsequent peace; she is uneasy at the aspect of a world gone mad with another war-lust.

What does the world hold in store for its people? Chaos? Destruction? America is wondering.

But America is reminded, as she ponders on these unpleasant things, that she has a heritage of strength and stability; a ruggedness of character and intellect which has carried her through world tumult and depression many times; an insight which has helped her to stem an onrushing tide of fateful events and crushing destiny which have lined her way.

America is wondering, but she has confidence in the strength and virility bom of three and a half centuries of struggle and conflict to build a Christian empire in these United States. America remembers and is confident.

Because of the necessity for students and faculty alike to be kept posted on happenings of the library, the Spectator is introducing “The Bookshelf” to be made a weekly column. This column is being printed to help the college student to keep up on the library happenings as well as interest him in a variety of books, new and old.

Since the opening of school in September the library has acquired several books of timely interest. A first hand account of events in Germany from 1933 to 1938 is to be found in “Ambassador Dodd's Diary, ” written by William Edward Dodd, Professor of History at the University of Chicago and more recently Ambassador to Germany.

A second volume, which might well be read in comparison with the book by Dodd is William L. Shiver’s “Berlin Dairy. ” This is the journal of the Berlin correspondent of the Columbia Broadcasting System for the years 1934 to 1941. It should be very interesting to compare the views of these two men toward Hitlerism: the views of a scholar and a journalist.

“The Managerial Revolution” by James Burnham represents an attempt to analyze the basic issues of the present upheaval in the world. He concludes that “there is a new order... that of the managers and those who would like to be managers. The running of the world is moving into the hands of the manager. Capital has virutally lost its control already and it will be displaced, not by labor, not by socialism, but by the rule of the administrators in business and government. This revolution is as broad as the world and as comprehensive as human societies. ” Whether or not you agree with Burnham’s thesis, you will be stimulated by his analysis.

That’s It—settle back in your chairs and unlax, fellows. Sadie Hawkins Day is over for another year, even though Li’l Abner is still racing through the comic strip with the Siren on his tail. The laws laid down for Macollege’s S. H. Day are a little more lenient than the original rules Dogpatch style where matrimony is the unhappy result. At McPherson the outcome is neither as immediate nor as conclusive; the girl here gets to think the proposi-tion over a little more and reflect about whether her choice was a wise one and the hero has the opportunity to escape from his pursuer’s grasp while she is reconsidering her catch. Only a couple of casualties resulted in this year’s chase, Wilbur Macklin seemed to have Achille’s heel, for he was caught and brought to terra firma as he was mounting the stairs, and Elizabeth Peterson has been laid up all week after an encounter with the sidewalk while trying to bag her man.

every member of the Church of the Brethren have been added to the Library as gifts of the Brethren Publishing House. They are: “The Story of Our Church” by J. E. Miller; and “Meet Henry Kurtz” by H. A. Brandt. These books will be shelved with others by and about members of the Church of the Brethren in a “Brethren Collection’’.

“The Story of Our Church” is a very readable panormaic picture of the history and development of the Church of the Brethren from its beginning in the little village of Schwarzenau to its present widespread influence. L. Avery Fleming, an alumnus of McPherson College,says in his introduction, “Scenes from the beginnings of the church in Germany, the voyages to America, and the activities centering in Penn-sylvania prior to the nineteenth cen-tury are vividly described The high-lights of church expansion south-ward, westward, north of the Ohio, beyond the Mississippi and to other lands will create a warm glow in the minds of many readers who move into the new areas along with their ancestors, friends, or relatives. ” The story of the beginning of mission work in China tells of the early work of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Crumpacker. The development of the Annual Meeting, District Meeting, the press and Brethren schools is included in the picture. The closing chapter on Our Heritage is a stirring challenge to i every member of the church. The book is dedicated to the young peo-ple of the Church of the Brethren.

The printing business of Henry Kurtz which began in a springhouse was the start of the present church-owned Brethren Publishing house at Elgin. Incidents in the life of this man of conviction are portrayed in “Meet Henry Kurtz. ” Because he is one of the really significant fig-ures in Brethren history about whom

Shades of Rhett Butler! Have you seen what’s been strolling non-chalantly around the campus late-ly? Well, it ain’t your Aunt Fanny. We thought sure William Clark Gable had honored our campus with a visit until we got a closer gander at this strange male’s auditory receptacles and found this creature’s ear-span to be less than the famed Mr. Gable’s. About that time we noted that the fellow in question was none other than Castleton’s gift to the women, Willis Kagarice. We always thought we’d recognize Kag by his cute grin, but lately he’s been camouflaging that tooth exposing practice with a growth which looks like a fugutive from some woman’s mascara brush. We were watching Kag eat soup 'tother day and it seemed to be quite a strain. We could mention Willie Linville’s upper lip growth, too, but we’re rather indisposed toward hyperbole in its extremity. So a mere mention of Willie’s efforts should suffice. Never-theless, Willie has big hopes and is asking for a mustache cup in his letters to Santa Claus.

And say, mister, did you see the super deluxe roses Crummie got the other day? And all the way from Washington state—not D. C.; Kerlin, now we’re wondering who this Johnnie fellow is?

Tuesday night we all felt like Jiggs when Maggie decides to let him take her to the opera. Everyone got his monkey clothes out of the moth balls, spent the best moments of the evening and most of his patience getting his tie on straight, or most of her patience giving her hair the old one-two-three so that it wouldn’t look like last year’s bird nest, then hobbled sedately to the church for the formal dinner. The ones who didn’t go missed the chance of their life times when they could see their classmates at their poor little best—if a person is at his best when strangled by a size fourteen collar on a size fifteen neck. The crowd even had its best smiles out of hock. A long line was formed just outside the church for those who had to defrost their faces back into neutral.

Geisert has a new name for Harriet now. He calls her “Salad” be-cause of her saladiferous habits in the dining hall. At the close of each meal he canvasses every table in a search for Pratt’s favorite fruit— which is salads, in any shape or form.

We’re gritting our teeth and patiently waiting for the fad of cheek pinching to subside. To Pinky Low-ber and Hank Ronk may be given the credit for the epidemic of cheek — pinching accompanied by a speech, -“Oh, you cute little thing. ” They’re all nursing their bruised cheeks and setting them back into place. Any black and blue marks are purely co-incidental.

Buildings and campus of Millsaps College, Jackson, Miss., have been renovated in a $12, 500 repair program.

all too little is known, this introduction is of interest. Those who read “Meet Henry Kurtz” will have a new and deeper appreciation of the rich heritage handed down by those who were willing to suffer persecution and hardship for what they believed.

What would you like to read in your spare time? Below are listed a part of the fifty most often read books based on a survey of 1, 638 stu-dents in fifty-three colleges. All of these books listed below are avail-able in our library.

These books will be placed on dis-play on top of the small card catalogue file so that students may have access to them over the week-end.

Bulldogs Take Trip

Twenty-four football players left the home field Thursday and autoed | across country to tackle the Eagles at Chadron, Nebraska. Seven dri- vers, and their wives, along with Clancy Bunyan accompanied them. During their 1500 mile trip, they toured the Black Hills. According to Columnist Bunyan, he and several football players were almost kid-napped by waitresses at North Platte.

A-Visiting They Went

It was with some forboding and a great deal of reluctance that Pop and Mom Brallier both left Fahnestock unguarded this week-end and journeyed to Wichita to the West-side Church at which place Pop Brallier preaches every Sunday.

Everything was intact when they returned with the exception of a

There are 10 church-related four year colleges in Kansas. All have fewer students than last year. The range in decrease of total attendance as reported October 1st, was 5 to 29 per-cent. McPherson’s decrease was approximately 10 percent.In reference to regular four year students, 7 colleges had latterdecreases than McPherson.

An ideal enrollment for “our college” would be 40.

The alumni and present student body are most effective agencies in making possible a larger student group next year.

battered door, a cracked stair rail, a scattered waste basket, and other minor details too numerous to mention.

The day of days was a veritable “day at the race, ” starring Macam-pus track stars dashing about over the campus with ferocious females “hot-footing” it after said males.

Dash-man Doyle Brubaker dashed to the highway, and there hooked a ride clear to Little River, thereby escaping Sady. Melvin Fager, Leland High and Clinton Weber slipped off to Hutchinson to avoid capture; Es-tel Ikenberry found safety at Manhattan; Finley Taylor at Geneseo, j and Ralph Nicholson, no one knows where. Herbert Ronk got along very well with his outdistancing the females until Gertrude Conner took the lead of the pursuers, at which time Ronk stumbled(? ).

Annual Play Day for High School Girls Held Here

Plans are being made by the W. A. A. members and their sponsor, Miss Staehling, for the High School Play Day which will be held November 22. Each fall the W. A. A. sponsors a play day for the girls of the high schools within a fifty mile radius. This year, eighty-two schools have received in-vitations to the Play Day and it is hoped that many will accept. Miss Staehling and Doris Voshell, W. A. A. resident, have general charge of the day’s activities and are busy making plans for a play day which will be the best ever.

The various committees which will help to make the play day a success are: program, Helen Davis and Har-iett Pratt; invitation, Margaret Hamm, chairman, Wilma Kuns, and Connie Elledge; awards, Ruby Peter-son. chairman, Mary Slifer, Imojean Sheller, Ruth Miller, Arlene Flory, and Mildred Fries; luncheon, Anna Nickey. chairman, Lillian Ful-merson. Doris Ikenberry, and Evelyn Wilson; registration and hostesses, Lucile Harris, chairman. Marilynn ndy. Gayle Tammel, Jean McNicol,

and Maxine Ruehlen; and equipment, Ariel Lamle. chairman, Grace Gif-fin, Carol Baringer, and Vesta Vann-del.

The theme to be carried out will the Dude Ranch theme—complete with ten gallon hats, cowboy boots,

and plaid shirts. Registration begins at eight and the play day will be over at three. The girls participating will be divided into color teams for the sports. Softball, volleyball, basket-ball, and relay types of games will be played.

As I sit here in the window of the Spec Office and gaze inquiringly out at the country side as though some unseen idea for a column lurked there, the sky is gray and dull, the day is dreary, and the mood is con-tageous for suddenly, and for no apparent reason. I am posessed with a gloomy and forlorn mood that is quite in harmony with the day. All is quiet save for the murmur of the distant refinery and the lonely coo

IRC Presents Pantomine In Monday Chapel

The International Relations Club presented a pantomine for the Monday chapel program. Japan, Mexico, Great Britain, Germany, Russia, and United States were countries represented in the pantomime. Students representing these nations expressed present international policy of

Thee idea of hope that we should someday see international peace and good feeling was brought out. Those who appeared on the stage were Rowena and Lyle Albright, Wil-bur Linville, Connie Alfaro, Alvin Klotz, Joe Dell, Bob Frantz, and Jean Oberst.

Finally, when I am completely en-grossed in entertaining my mournful mood and have progressed, or retro-gressed to the stage where I would welcome any painless form of suicide, the mist ceases to fall. Suddenly there is a break in the clouds and a shaft of sunlight breaks through, there is a burst of laughter in a nearby room, and the heavy cloak of gloom vanishes like an Arab in the desert! Ah ecstacy Thou are recaptured!

This little incident reminds me of a bit of poetry, by heaven only knows who. that lurks in a far corner of my mind and often comes to my rescue in times of despair. It goes thus-

ly:

Though outwardly a gloomy

shroud,

The inner half of every cloud

Is bright and shining.

I therefore turn my clouds about

And always wear them inside out To show the lining.

Encouraging isn't it? It reminds me of the ancient adage, “Every cloud has a silver lining,’’ by Shake-speare, or Shelly, or Poe, or Willkie, or somebody.

After all, the cloudy days help us to appreciate the sunny ones. Not all clouds are black and ominous; What would the dreamer gaze listlessly at if it were not frivolous, foamy whisps of white on the blue summer skies?

Speakers from behind stage were Lucille Horner, Betty Burger, Wayne Crist, Joe Hoffert, and Wayne Geisert.

Social Committee Plans,

Asks For Cars

An all-School skating party will be held tonight beginning at 7:30. This party is to take place at Peterson’s Roller Skating Rink, located one mile north of McPherson.

Popularity of the first all-school skating party held recently promoted the planing of another such event to take place tonight.

Students, both city residents and campus dwellers, who have cars are asked by the social committee to re-report to any of its members so that arrangements can be made for the transportation of the skaters to the

This party is being planned by Miss Ida Shockley, social director of McPherson College, along with a com-mittee composed of Mildred Fries, Bernetta Denny, Kurtz Ebbert, and Roy McAuley.

If it were not for clouds, what would the painter have used for the background in George Washington's picture? What would I have used for a subject? Yes, and what would we use for a top of conversation if we couldn’t say, “Well, it sure looks like rain today, doesn’t it?”

I can see the editor’s brow clouding now as he says to himself, “I wonder how much of this stuff he thinks he can get away with?” At which time it behooves me to cease my hunting and pecking and devote my efforts toward a more acedemic level.

Mrs. Orville Walters Speaks To College Women

Mrs. Orville S. Walters presented Tuesday evening to the women of McPherson College a constructive talk on "A Girl's Philosophy of Life.” Mrs. Walters, wife of the president of Central College, has had considerable experience with the problems of college women, and she effectively presented her interpretation of the problem.

This discourse was the second in a series of monthly Charm Chats for girls.

A demonstration in the chapel Monday night to show students how to procede at the formal banquet the following night was well attended. Dressed in formal attire, Jean Oberst, Doris Voshell, Arlene Flory, Jeannie Woodard, Alvin Klotz, Ralph Nicholson, and Robert Frantz "acted out” the script read by Isabel Crumpacker.

The girls came in supported on the right arm of their partners and were seated at the table by them. The hostess of the table took the first step in everything and if the guests were ever in doubt as to what to do, she was the authority.

The demonstration took the whole dinner and acted it out, course by course, showing what to do. Some of the things dealt with were; how to unfold the napkin on the lap, how to carry on table conversation, what to do if a piece of silver were dropped, that the hard rolls were to be laid on the tablecloth, and last, but not least, how to use the finger bowl.

After the demonstration on the stage, the students were urged to ask any questions which they might have in mind to Miss Shockley, who was in front and prepared to answer.

Dr. W. W. Peters, president of McPherson College, addressed a large group last Sunday night on the subject, “Some Observations Along the Way.” Born in a log cabin, President Peters feels that a good deal of his life has been influenced by circumstances over which he had no control.

Various outstanding episodes in his life were given by him. Devotions were led by Wayne Crist, and Professor Nevin W. Fisher sang a solo.

Commission. At the present time, twenty-eight Macollegians are planning to attend the nation-wide, church sponsored Student Volunteer Conference to be held at Bridgewater, Virginia, November 21-23. This meeting is comparable to the one held on our own campus last year. It is expected that those who go will return with new ideas of goals that might be attained in our school.

The Fellowship of Reconciliation, which believes that conflicts may be solved by a better means than force, meets every Sunday night from 8:15 to 9:00 in the south-west room of the college church. The study of highly recommended books along this line, and discussions in which all the members give their opinions comprise the programs.

Tomorrow evening at 8:30 a tra ditional rivalry will be renewed when the McPherson College Bulldogs meet the Kansas Wesleyan Coyotes at Sa lina. Toppled from the leadership of the Kansas Conference after a year’s domination, the Coyotes are never-the-less as potent an they were in the 19 40 season.

In the traditional last game meeting of the teams last year, the leading coyotes steam-rollered the Bulldogs with a last-half onslaught. This broke a seven year Jinx which the Canines held during which they were not defeated by the Wesleyanites. The Bulldogs will be out to re-establish the Jinx in tomorrow night’s contest.

Kansas Wesleyan so far in conference play has lost two closely contested games. They were upset by the Ottawa Braves by a 7 to 6 score, and dropped a 7 to 0 decision to Baker. The Bulldogs have only a victory over College of Emporia to their credit, but all but one conference loss has been by only a one-touchdown margin.

McPherson started strong against the Chadron, Nebraska, State Teachers College last week and scored a touchdown with Jack Vetter carrying it over in the first four minutes of play. Vetter was injured immediately after the touchdown and was not used for the rest of the game. It is doubtful as to whether he will be available against the Coyotes.

For three senior veterans on the Bulldog squad, Raymond ‘‘Squeak’’ Meyer, all-conference center, Jack Vetter, a great backfield man, and Wilbur Bullinger, three year letter-man. It will be the last conference game. With the exception of the Alva, Oklahoma Teachers game next week, It will also be the last game of the season.

Probable starters for the game will be “Squeak” Meyer at the pivot position, "Cy” Goertz and Wilbur Bullinger at guards. Andrew Collett and Russell Barrett at tackles, and Walter Pauls and Junior French at the end positions. The backfield will probably include Richard Callen, Walter Buller, Merlin Brubaker, and Albert Floyd.

After the noise of the Chadron-Bulldog football battle had died away last Friday, the final score stood at 27 to 6, Chadron.

The Bulldogs scored first when they recovered a Chadron fumble on Chadron’s thirty-five yard line. In a few quick plays McPherson reached the four yard line where Vetter took it over. The kick went wide.

Chadron came back in the second quarter with a burst of power which netted them three touchdowns. Bas-tron and Cadwallader carried the brunt of the ball-toting chores for Nebraska. A pass to Bruer went for one touchdown just before the half, Chadron made all of their extra points in the second quarter and the halftime score was 21 to 6.

The last half was waged on more even terms with neither team scoring in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter after a sustained drive Bastron went over to make it 27 to 6, the try for extra point being blocked.

Several McPherson boys were injured including Vetter with a sprained knee. Goertz with a dislocated jaw. Pauls with a sprained ankle. The seriousness of these injuries will not be known until later this week.

One of the outstanding plays of the game occured when Vetter, sprained knee and all, was rushed into the game to punt out from be-hind his own goal line, thus putting the Bulldogs out of danger.

Grid Season Nears End

As the grid season is near its end four Kansas Conference grid teams play their final game this week-end. One of those games is a make-or-break game as Ottawa meets Baker Friday. Bethany bows out against Southwestern. On Saturday College of Emporia meets Bethel, the last for both. Saturday night McPherson goes to Salina for a game with Kansas Wesleyan.

Baker May Win Title

Baker jumped into second place in the Kansas loop by defeating Kansas Wesleyan, last year’s champ, 7-0. Baker caD claim the championship by licking unbeaten Ottawa in what should be the top game of the year. Ottawa has a scoreless tie with Bethel, which is coming up fast, against its record which counts half won and half lost in the standings. Thus a Baker win would cinch the title.

Fight For Honors

Bethel’s 13-0 win over Bethany may create a mixup in the Kansas Conference. Bethel can hope for no more than second place in the Con-Iference but how those Gray Maroons are fighting! If Bethel wins over C. of E. and Ottawa wins over Baker then Bethel will jump into second place. But if Baker wins, then Ottawa and Bethel will have to share honors for second place. So all three teams have a chance at first or at least second place in the Conference.

Bulldogs To Chadron

McPherson College made a long trip to Chadron, Nebraska only to be defeated 27-6. That game wasn’t really as bad as it may sound. That was an interesting game outside of three or four touchdowns which were not necessary. The Bulldogs looked like the best ever for the first quarter when Vetter went over for a touchdown within three minutes af-ter the game began. The Canines were running the Eagles ragged.

Then all of a sudden something snap- ped and four touchdowns resulted. Four injuries came as a result of the game. Vetter went out in the first quarter; Pauls, Zook, and Brubaker were also hurt as was Cy Goertz. who had his jaw dislocated. It is expected that most of these will be in Saturdays game.

Traveling Bulldogs

Thursday morning at 8:15 twenty-four football players and fourteen others associated with the trip, set out for Chadron Teachers College, Nebraska.

The group made its way to Fairmont where they ate dinner. That same afternoon the team stayed and worked out at Kearney, Nebraska State Teachers College, then went on and stayed all night at North Platte. Nebraska. The next morning (Friday) the group traveled on to Chadron, Nebraska. They viewed the Eagle Gridiron then went to the hotel to rest up for the game. The game was played at eight o’clock in 22 degree F. weather. A few of the boys came up with frozen feet.

Saturday morning they were hound for the Black Hills, South Dakota. On the way were many interesting sights to view. Nearly everyone was well equipped with cameras and took a number of interesting pictures.

Duane Knackstedt crept around in front of a buffalo and took his, (the buffalo’s) picture; some of the more

frivolous tried to prevent him from taking the picture. Jack Kough was the official deer.—you can spell deer either way. -Hearer of the Black Hills trip. Whenever anyone wanted a picture of a deer or dear he would scare them away.

At Mt. Rushmore was seen the Shrine of Democracy in which four Prominent Americans were viewed: Washington, Jefferson, T. Roosevelt, and Lincoln. Most of the boys climbed

One more conference game. That’s all that's left for ”Capt. “Squeak” Meyer, Jack Vetter, and Wilbur Bullinger, seniors on this years Bulldog squad. And all three will be gunning for there third victory in four years over the Coyotes tomorrow night.

In their freshman year, the Bulldogs defeated the Coyotes 12 to 7 on Thanksgiving day. “Squeak”, who made all conference that year as a freshman, was a vital cog in the Bulldog team as well as Jack Vetter, who also lettered. A pass deflected into the waiting arms of Jake Cramer, who scampered for a touchdown, was the deciding mar-gin.

In their sophomore year the Bulldogs again defeated the Coyotes 14 to 13 in one of those games that will long be remembered and talked about. It was in this game that Jake Cramer, all conference halfback, broke his leg as he went over for the winning touchdown.

Last year the Coyotes, seeking their first conference championship in many years and seeking to break the 7 year victory string of the Bulldogs over the Coyotes, ran roughshod over the Bulldogs 38 to 0, as Vetter and others of the Bulldogs starting lineup watched from the sidelines with injuries.

In their senior year—well, we can’t tell you about that 'till after tomorrow night—but we know the Bulldogs, especially those seniors in their last conference game, will be giving it all they have. '’Squeak” Meyer and Wilbur Bullinger will be in the starting lineup but Jack Vetter is a doubtful starter as a result of a knee injury suffered last week at Chadron.

Globe trotters Callen, Duller, and Vetter with Frank Hiebert went to Wyoming, supposedly. It is rumored that they went out side of Hot Springs, South Dakota a few miles for a few hours then reported that they had been to Cheyenne. Reno, Nevada, Salt Lake City, Utah and were actually only a few miles from Portland, Oregon.

Many interesting things happened on the trip that can not be put in print but also many other things happened. According to Paul Voth, Clayton Rock drove off a cliff three or four different times. Also Rock had to buy the boys in his car a gallon of cider apiece. Squeak Meyer had everyone in Coach’s car pulling hair at one spot on the map of north western Kansas. Most of the boys in Clancy Bunyan’s vehicle came back well supplied with meal equipment. Everyone enjoyed himself immensely on the 1500 mile trip, although Rock may have a hard time trying to live down the trip as a result of five boys who rode with him. The surprising thing of the tour was that not a single boy yelled at a single girl on the whole trip.

High School Play Day Here

During this next week the W. A. A. cabinet members and the committees for the high school play day will be scurrying around getting ready for the high school girls who come from towns within a fifty mile radius for the annual play day sponsored by the McPherson College Women’s Athletic Association. Eighty-four high schools have received invitations to play together in the Phys-but the weather was splendid;

therefore these ambitious gals went out to the football field and practiced goals. More fun than you can’t imagine. Come on, girls, let’s get our feet started over to the gym some night for hockey practice. It will take only one practice to convince you that hockey is really a swell sport.

Outers To Have Hike

costless—is being planned by the club heads, Lucile Harris and Anna Mae Nickey. They are planning a visit to some of the points of interest in our fair city. Watch the bulletin board for announcements about the where and when of this hike.

Archers Freeze Fingers

On a Monday, Wednesday, or Friday, go around the gym and watch the girls hunt for arrow's—and, incidentally, watch them shoot at the target. After an hour of finger-freezing activity, the archers long for in-

ical Education building November 22. Miss Staehling has general supervis- ion of the play day, and Doris Vosh-ell, W. A. president, her “right hand man,” in putting the play day over. Heads of the various committees are: program, Helen Davis and Harriett Pratt; invitation, Margaret Hamm; awards. Ruby Peterson; luncheon, Anna Mae Nickey; registration and hostesses; Lucile Harris; and equipment. Muriel Lamle. The theme which will be carried out is a Dude Ranch theme.

Field Hockey Club Meets

Wednesday night several enthusiastic girls met for hockey practice. It was too cold and muddy to meet outside, so the girls got their wits about them and decided to do next best and get some exercise, though through a different activity. Some played badminton or table tennis, while others played shuffle board. Thursday evening there were only three girls out for hockey practice.
