Students Have April Birthdays
Miss Della Lehman, Macollege English Professor, feels like it was an act of fate which saved her home at 130 N. Maxwell from
going up in flames last Sunday evening, March 23.
Firemen couldn’t explain why the smouldering fire didn’t burst into flame.
"If it had," they said, "the entire house would have been involved before anyone ever saw it. We wouldn’t have had a chance to save anything."
Like everyone else, Miss Lehman picked up her Saturday newspaper and found it soaked from the rain.
Like many others she spread
it out over a floor furnace to dry so she could read it. But for some
reason, she didn't think of it when she was invited out.
The thick paper dried and as it did, it solidified and acted just like a sheet of asbestos over the floor furnace.
The heat stayed under the paper and radiated out around the floor furnace. Joists, subflooring. oak floor and a wall started to smoulder and burn. But no flame broke out.
Miss Lehman found the floor charred when she came home and called the fire department. Firemen found two to three inches of burned wood all around the floor furnace.
The only damage done was to the area immediately around the floor furnace.
Eighteen Macollege students will be celebrating their birth days next month according to the records in the Central Office.
Huston Pulford will chalk up another year in his life on April Fool’s Day, while Shirley Stafford will do the same the following day.
Others are Sara Ann Coffman, April 6; Max Royer, April 8; Ramon Paoli, April 10; Alice Pyle, April 11; Ryland Roetman, April 12; David Bastin and Howard Melander, April 14; Bob Wise and Joyce Miller, April 15.
Also are Donna Davidson, April 18; Adrian Smith, Jr., Gaylen Rodgers, and Joe Reeves, April 23; Elverda Fike and Arden Alexander, April 25; and Lila Cook, April 28.
300 Guests See Faculty Formal
Betty Ann Wise and Gene Wenger reigned as queen and king for 300 guests at the Faculty Formal held on March 22 at the college gym. President Bittinger played the part of a page boy and carried the crowns used by Dr. Burton Metzler for the coronation preceding the program.
"You Are There" was the theme this year. The faculty presented historical scenes.
Dr. Raymond L. Flory, as master of ceremonies of the staged TV show, narrated under the pseudonym, Falter Wronkite.
Scenes were presented from Shakespeare’s plays, "Macbeth" and "A Midsummer Night's Dream." The witches created a realistic effect by having smoke coming from their brew.
The closing scene of Maxwell Anderson’s "Mary of Scotland" was presented by Mrs. Homer Brunk and Miss Della Lehman.
A takeoff on grand opera, "I Think I Smell Smoke," had Prof. Paul Sollenberger cast in the role of a woman in the comedy written for a male chorus.
One program announcement which came as a surprise even to members of the committee was the announcement by the emcee of the engagement of Joan Ford and Herb Johnson.
Miss Edna Neher, who was loaded down with garlands of borrowed jewels, played Queen Isabella, while Dr. Kenneth C. Bechtel as King Ferdinand gloried in the prospects of fame.
Dr. John Burkholder as Columbus drew some of the biggest laughs of the evening of fun.
Prof. Guy Hayes portrayed the abdication of Edward VIII.
Mrs. D. W. Bittinger and Mrs. James Berkebile served the punch. Other refreshments were homemade tarts, cream puffs filled with chicken, and cookies.

Macollege’s golf team this year is composed of eight men of varying amounts of experience. Coaching the men is Prof. Kenneth Kin-
zie.
The only lettermen back are Lee Donyluk and Jim Van Blari-cum.
Others adding spice to the competition are Gary Pigott, George Casebeer, Pete Reinecker, Rex Morris, Larry Clark and Hal Hel-
sey.
The men meet at the Country Club and shoot in foursomes, or as many as are present. The afternoons are usually consumed in various phases of the game. Anyone interested should check in at the country club for practice.

The National Basketball Committee, tinkering with the college and AAU rules again, has changed the code on free throws and made a gesture against stalling.
The committee decided the first six common fouls in each half shall be one-shot violations. Free throws oh succeeding fouls will be awarded under the present one-and-one bonus basis. A player gets a second shot if he makes the first. The Big Ten used the rule during the last season.
High schools, YMCA and Cana dian players will follow the same code except for a slight difference. They will have four one-shot fouls instead of six.
Other rule changes include the following:
Players other than the shooter shall not touch the ball on the rim of the basket or directly above. (Aimed at goal tending).
On double fouls there will be no free throws — just a center jump.
An out-of-bounds ball at the end zone can be thrown in from any position at either end of the court. (Area under the basket formerly was barred).
Unnecessary stalling is also being cut down by a new rule which permits the officials to first give a warning and then a possible technical foul can be called, if the warning has no effect.
Superintendents Seek Prospective Teachers
A representative from the superintendent of school's office in St. Louis, Mo., will be on campus April 4 to interview prospective teachers.

As spring training draws to a
close, it is safer to call the predictions. Certainly almost everyone sees a team differently, and everyone is entitled to his opinion. Here are mine.
American League The Yankees are again predicted for another happy season for Ol' Casey. The Yankees are stronger this year because of the talent in their farm system, but all these minor league standouts have a chance at only two possible positions, third base and left field.
Since Bill Skowron is being shifted to third base, only left field remains. Tony Kubek should take it if he can beat out some of the veterans.
The pitching should be better this year with the trades and the improvements of Bob Turley and Don Larsen with their "no-windup" pitches.
Being the first place team, the New Yorkers have nothing to gain and everything to lose.
Mickey Mantle seems to have had the best season he will ever have the past year and we can watch for him to have a slump. He can hit the long ones, but I pick Willie Mays to shatter the Babe's record within the next two years. Mantle may not hit as many homers as last year.
I pick the Detroit Tigers for second place. They had many bad breaks last year and ended up very good after a lousy start.
I look for Al Kaline to have the best year in his major league span. The two twenty - game winners should lead the way for the youngesters of the pitching staff. As a team the Tigers batted .279 last year.
National League The Cincinnati Redlegs have made a fine improvement and should be the champs this year.
WAA Offers Sports
The spring season for WAA has four sports which include tennis, softball, individual, and outing.
Sport heads are Lois Fager, tennis; Donna Davidson, softball; Doris Davidson, individual; and Ruth Davidson, outing.
Each sport head receives 25 points. WAA members may be active in all four sports and receive 100 points for each. To be active, each girl must participate in a sport six times.
Miss Doris Coppock is faculty sponsor of WAA.
This spring the Macollege men’s dorms are organizing softball teams and are planning to play each other in the evenings from around 5:30 until dark.
This softball league is intended to give the fellows a good source of fun and exercise in the coming "warm" spring days.
Off - campus men are also to form a team to give the dorms some competition.
This is the most power packed club for some time, and they seem to be improving all the time.
Battingwise they had only a mediocre season, and their mediocre pitching should improve. How ever Cincinnati has two very good catchers, and one good catcher is
Perhaps they should trade one of their catchers for a couple of fair pitchers. The overall picture shows that Cincinnati is the better team.
The Milwaukee Braves should be the second place team. Although many may predict for them to win the pennant, I see them as a runner-up.
I don't think that Joe Adcock can have as good a season as last year nor can Ed Mathews. That leaves just Henry Aaron to carry the big load. But I may be entirely wrong.
Milwaukee can use a catcher and a deal with Cincinnati should be a very fair trade.
Monday night the Macollege "M" Club was entertained at their bi-monthly meeting in the chapel by none other than Marilyn Monroe — as portrayed by a McPherson High School sophomore, Miss Nancy Noyes.
The big "M", alias Nancy, gave a performance expounding "self" development and growth.
The all male audience also heard Shirley Bowen, Macollege sophomore, sing a selection of popular songs.
Program directors for the evening were George Casebeer and Don Cotton.
A business meeting will be held the first Monday in April.
Glen McGonigle, a 1938 graduate of McPherson College, has accepted an appointment to the Kansas University faculty, in the science department, effective in June.
At Kansas University, Mr. MC-Gortigle will conduct two physics laboratory periods a week and upervise laboratory assistants and the maintenance of physics laboratory equipment.
For the past nine years, Mr. McGonigle has taught physics and chemistry at Junction City, Kas., High School. He served as faculty advisor for the student council and was in charge of the pub-lic address and lighting systems for all school programs.
Mr. McGonigle is recognized in the Junction City area for his musical abilities, appearing as a vocalist on numerous occasions and serving as choir director of a local church and song leader of the Lions Club.

Pondering With The President . . .
Easter Is Coming
Easter always comes in the spring. This fits into our part of the world very well. We are in the North Temperate area, where the months in which Easter falls are the times of resurgence of life, the time of quickening the life cycle, of blossoming flowers, of the passing of winter.
Easter symbolizes all of that.
Easter is considered, by the church, the peak of the year. At Christmas time, the Babe was born. Then we are joyful and give our gifts.
But at Easter time, the Babe who had grown to be a man was killed; and in His death. He atoned for the sins of mankind. But the grave could not contain Him! He burst assunder the tomb and came forth with newness of life.
Easter is symbolic of each Christian's life. A tomb can never hold the Christian. He lives eternally in the Kingdom which begins here and lasts forever.
During each Eastertime we renew our Christian faith; our Christian beliefs should become more meaningful to us. New hope should surge within us.
We need Easter this year. We have gone through a number of

serious crises; in Hungary, at the Suez Canal. Out of any of these could have come devastating, destructive. annihilating war.
But up to now major war has not resulted because men are really trying to learn how to settle their difficulties in peaceful ways. We have occasion for rejoicing.
Let us keep the spirit of hope and love working.
Has Spring Sprung?
“Spring has sprung.
The grass is riz,
And I can guess
Where the birdies is!"
No doubt the birdies have enough sense to wait until the last snowstorm has blown itself out before they move in for the summer.
We were all in for a jolt last weekend when we got a sample of what next winter will be like before spring comes into full bloom.
As blizzard conditions swept the Mid-West. McPherson was not left out. though we were not isolated. Heavy coats, boots, wool scarves and gloves were retrieved from mothballs to keep the wearers warm.
And snow brings its own variety of activities. More than once the temptation to pick up a handful of snow, shape it just right, and throw it is yielded to.
Those who like ice cream use their "cooking" abilities to stir up snow ice cream which they eat
with relish.
There are always chintzy owners of steam irons who gather pansful of snow to melt down for distilled water.
For the students who chose this weekend to go home, it was a different story. They were either snowbound at home or were longer than usual in returning to school.
Guest speakers also found that McPherson was just too far to walk to in a snowstorm; consequently no guest speaker. Probably the saddest of all was that some profs were unable to make scheduled trips and were here for the classes at the first of the

But since the Kansas weather is so changeable, it will not be long before even the birdies are ready to recognize spring as being officially here.

In a faithful Christianity the historical Jesus moves and acts like a man washing feet, healing wounds, crying in pity and sympathy.
In His remembrance, when His true followers join in the act of Holy Communion, the remembered Christ ceases to be remembered and becomes really present.

A Student Council committee has been working on improvements for the cafeteria. Upon their request, a menu board has been purchased and installed to give students an idea what choice is available.
This is one factor in the campaign to speed the cafeteria line up so that students will not have to waste so much time just waiting in line for their meals.
Also, since time is to be saved as students will not have to de-ide at the counter what they will eat, the cafeteria opening time at noon has been changed from 11:45 to 12 noon.
The question for the week is: What is your opinion about the cafeteria not opening until 12?
Here were the comments received:
“If it would increase the efficiency of the cafeteria help, perhaps the change would be merited." — Anne Keim
"It would be O. K. if we wouldn’t get hung up on the vegetable corner. — A "Redhead" Jr.
"I think they ought to leave the Dog House open and serve hamburgers.” — Lyall Sherred
because of the doing.
Then to a true believer. Christ becomes a mirror of oneself with a maximum of expectation and a minimum of disappointment
All experience is an arch, to build upon. — Henry Brooks Adams.
