To Be ShownMoving pictures of the 1937 Rocky
Mountain Student Christian Conference at Estes Park, Colorado will be shown in the general S. C. M. meeting, Tuesday, May 17.
The inspiration reaching you through this conference is brought into your consciousness by living with and through contacts with experienced leaders; with fellow students of the Rocky Mountain region. This camp is a chance to learn how you stand in relation to the Universe, God, and yourself. There are ten days in which to climb new heights, actually, spiritually and intellectually.
To Hear Tenor

in "Aida."
Fine Arts Faculty In Final Program
Final Program of Year Will be Presented by Members
Sunday
As the final musical program of the year by the McPherson College music faculty, a vesper concert will be presented by Miss Jessie Brown. Miss Fern Lingenfelter, Mr. Loren Crawford, and Mr. Nevin Fisher next Sunday afternoon at the First Presbyterian church. The program begin at 4 o'clock and the public is, invited.
Most of the numbers on the program will be group numbers. How ever, Mias Lingenfelter will open the program with several organ solos. Miss Lingenfelter, instructor in piano at the college, is appearing in this concert as an organist. She has held the position of organist at the Presbyterian church this year. Several interesting combinations have been worked out, the most interesting perhaps being the group for voice, violin, piano, and organ. This unusual combination is seldom used by musical groups, but is very interesting from the standpoint of ensemble.
The program is comprised of Ave Marla by Bach-Gounod, Meditation from 'Thais" by Massenet.Those Tears by Del Riego, O Lord Most Holy by Cesar Franck, the famous Handel's Largo from "Xerxes" and Fantaisic by Clifford Demarest.

McPherson Cooperative Concert Association members closed their second annual membership campaign Saturday afternoon in a satisfactory and successful manner, officers slated.
J. E. Stover. Columbia Cooperative Concert representative who was in charge o f the week campaign, said the results were more than gratifying, especially since Lindsborg this year is forming its own Association and approximately 170 memberships were thus lost to the McPherson Association from last year’s lists.
The local talent committee met Saturday night to elect the artists who will appear hero next winter, and an outstanding program was chosen. Charles Hackett and Hilda Burke, both popular Metropolitan stars will appear in joint concert here as the opening number in November. Iso Briseill, brilliant young violinist, who for several years was with the Philadelphia Orchestra as soloist, and who has appeared in Joint recital with Josef Hoffman, will be the second artist who will be presented here. He will play on a $35,000 Stradivarius, formerly owned by the late Paul Kochanski. The closing program will be given by Miss Dorothy Crawford, who writes and interprets original character sketches. Miss Crawford, returns this your from the West coast with plaudits of all dramatic critics. Appearing with Miss Crawford is Marcus Gordon, pia-
inist, whose brilliant and facile tech nique as well as his well chosen so - los, have brought him high recom- mendations from the critics.

Dignified Seniors Retreat From Faculty Discipline and Classes
Play Read In ChapelAdvanced Expression Class Presents
"Overtones" B y Gerstenbery
"Overtones", a one art play by Alice Gerstenbery, was presented by the advanced expression class in the form of a matinee liroque for the chapel program, Friday morning, May 6.
This type of play is read with no exits, entrances or action on the part of the readers. The actions o f the play are read by an interpreter, who makes all necessary explanations.
There are four characters i n this play. The parts were taken by Vera Heckman who read the part of Har- riet, a cultured woman; Helen Dean Gibson was Hetty. Harriet's privitive self. LaVena H igh read the part of Margaret, a cultured woman, and Glee Goughnour was Maggie, Margaret's privitive self. T h e culturedwoman said only the conventional things to each other, while the privi- tive selves expressed the real thoughts of the cultured women. Josephine Shirar was the interpreter for the play.

Choir Ends SeasonThe past Sunday evening the A
Cappella Choir was splendidly enter- tained with a 6:30 o'clock lunch by the ladies of the Monitor church. After being quite satisfied with that part of the visit, the members of the choir endeavored to return the favor by giving this neighbor church the bust concert of the year.
Many comments of the program led many to believe that it was the best given. This concert was the last full evening's program that the choir will give. The McPherson College A Cappella completes another succes- ful year.

Rain? Not rain but retreat! So said the seniors as they departed Monday afternoon for a retreat from faculty discipline and classes. The possibility of a damp bed and chilled bones created some doubt before Monday noon but nothing seemed to dampen the senior's spirit so they captured Dr. Bright in, a good mood and taking him, along escaped to twin mounds for the evening.
A hall game before supper proved that the girls, could do their part in spite o f Rae Toland's skepticism which excluded Bertie. We also found that Mac has a new way of playing ball. Then supper— The marginal utility on weiner is very high said Ronnie.
What an evening. Moon light streamed down upon green hills interlaced with rows of dark trees. The air was liquidly still, voices floated far, echos produced a sense of unreality until Evelyn's giggle came back and sounded so familiar.
Rocks, earth and trucks held bed
rolls containing seniors trying to sleep. There really were no prowlers except those "few” who returned af- ter prayers had been said. Don't tell Mother Emmert because Dr. Bright did set a "closing hour” .
The break of dawn found seniors crawling from their nests. The girls can no longer keep the secret of how they look before they put on their second face. Cold, cold water dashed on our faces awoke us throughly for the day. Soon breakfast was ready. Our appetites had increased during be night. Before breakfast was over our number was increased by those other seniors who were unable to partake of the nights experience.
Salina found the seniors occupying the park, tennis, courts, tables and river on Tuesday. Did the grass feel good between your toes Avia and Mark? Barney's a real help as a cool and Dr. Bright, is one grand sport We liked him. We returned to McPherson from our last retreat weary but happy.

isstsust,Why of Student Christian Movement
To exist, an individual, or an organization must j ustify that existence. For many years, organizations have been kept alive when they had no right to live, and would have been much more valuable dead. In fact, many would be happy to attend the funeral of some of them.
However, there are some small organizations that have some distinct values but because of their weakness are not able to make themselves felt in any large way on the campus. Herein lies the value of having an united student movement.
There are principally two reasons, among many others, for a S. C. M.
1. It is a federation of all Christian groups on the campus with united efforts to make Christian precepts a vital parts of life. The smaller groups, who have a message and who otherwise would be too weak to propagate it, enjoy the strength of a large group and can this make their influence felt. Such a federa- tion would be a distinct value to the cause o f peace, for example, or for the World Service. At the present time the peace movement is not con- centrated in any one group: the World Service with its vital program suffers because of the strength of the S. C. M. If these two groups
were a part of the federation, they could enjoy the strength of the S. C. M. and at the same time, not lose their aims but have them strengthened.
2. The second purpose of a student movement is the attempt to put into effect the practical application of the Christian message. As you will know, that has often been dubbed by strange names; radical, left wing, red, anarchist, etc . It seems strange that members o f a church that claims to be a leader in Christian idealism and whose founders worn 100 years ahead of their time in ideals of brotherhood, peace, temperance, etc., should look with askance upon movements for social equality and cooperation. To be more, specific, only the young leaders have asked this question: "Why are efforts for cooperation discouraged even in our own college?”
All of this merely opens up the discussion of why a Student Christian Movement. Tho big answer is: to apply the principles of Christ if possible, on our own campus. An united movement looks beyond denominational lines and yet maintains denominational integrity when de- sirable.— L. H.
Charles Nettleton— "Charlie" is another one of our outstanding solo- ist . He attended Winona Teachers College. Winone, Minnesota, his freshmen year before coming hero. He has been a member of the A Capella choir his three years here, as well as the varsity male quartette. His major is history and he plans to teach.
Kurtis Naylor— "Babe" has been active in athletics, World Service, and S. C. M., being on the cabinet in the latter. Do has been assistant to Prof. Mohler and his major is in Biology. He already has a teaching position and be is overjoyed because it is not far away.
Mark Porter— Mark is one or o ur most outstanding truckmen, having set two school records last year. Mark spent his first two years at Independence Junior College, Independence, Kansas. His major is in In- dustrial Arts and he plans to teach and coach.— R. F.
String Choir ConcertThe Hutchinson string choir gave
a concert at the Brethren church, last Sunday evening. This choir, an organization started last year, is under the direction of S. Alan Watrous, band and orchestra leader in the Hutchinson high school.
The choir, largely made up of high school and Junior college students, displayed remarkable ability for such a group. This concert was the second they had given at McPherson.

Smyth Voices AppreciationMiss Smyth wishes to thank the
students, faculty, and friends of McPherson College for many kindnesses in the form of visits, cards, flowers, and other gifts, besides numerous helpful and comforting services, all of which have aided in consoling her since her unfortunate accident, suffering a severe break of her limb.
Among these favors should be mentioned her use of the S. C. M. room, which she appropriated, it is to be feared without asking permission. She appreciates also the pa- tience shown by all during this time when she has been unable to perform her duties properly. These past weeks have increased her affection for McPherson College and her desire that happy and fruitful years may lie ahead of it.
NOTICE: The librarian wishes to know of any friends of the college who will be willing to donate magazines regularly to the college library. Some of the magazines which would be acceptable are: "The Amer- ican; Kansas Teacher; Better Homes and Gardens; Hygeia; and Literary Digest.” Any magazine which is indexed in the Reader's Guide will be acceptable.

Flory Recital PopularMisses Vena and Vera Flory, twin
musical artists, presented a joint recital, last Friday evening in the college chapel.
With Vena Flory, pianist, and Vera Flory, violinist, alternating, they presented a pleasing and varied reper- toire. A large audience, by their
applause, gave evidence to its popu-larity.
The repertoire consisted of piano selections from Bach, Beethoven, Ra- vel, Rhene-Baton, Liszt, and Godard; violin selections from Corelil- Spalding, Kreisler, Gardner, and Bruch.

COLLEGE DAZEso I guess we had better tell you all about it. We had a good ball game, although the umpire did seem to be a little prejudiced toward Dr. Bright’s side— too near final time to take any chances. McGonigle was kind enough to hold the ball while the other side filled the bases with the winning runs.
We took Dr. Bright along instead of Buck because we couldn’ t get anyone to drive Buck’s car for him and we did not want any accidents. George and Roy appeared to be pretty much alone in their car, with four unconscious people in the back.
It was moonlight, and we climbed to the hilltop to sit on the rocks and sing. Then we strolled across the hills. Off in the distance two groups were singing "Home o n the Range” antiphonally from two adjacent hilltops. I never heard it sung so beautifully before. And then they stood to sing the college song. There is something about, being out in God's great outdoors on a moonlight night—
The radio signed off at one o’clock, and things quieted down except for a few interruptions. We slept well, although our blankets; were too short on both ends and too narrow on both sides. I t was some sight, I'm telling you to see the girls come down to the pump to get their faces wet and take their teeth out and wash them. We were agreeably surprised to learn they are not so bad looking without their war-paint after all. But it was not long until the mirrors and so forth came out and you could begin to be sure who was who again. And so on through a busy day.”
Student elections have come once more, reminding us again that about nine-eights of politics is pure tommy- rot—beg pardon, did I say pure? It smells to high heaven! And speaking of heaven, we are reminded o f Shelter's comment that there must be work to do in heaven, because we would get tired of singing praises to God for a million years, to which Dr. Metzler replied. " Maybe He would get tired of it too."
Betty Gay speculates ns to who will be "the next in line to follow the other ten happy and mutual promises." Well, as one speculator to another, why don't you? Does it have something to do with the million dollars Paden asked about?
We went to the concert Sunday night, and heard some good music. I like to hear those low notes roll out. Sometimes the violin seems to squeak, sometimes to shriek, but the cello and the viola j ust rumble along— I like powerful music. (Maybe that is why I like to hear a freight train roar past with the engineer whistling while he works). All the time they were playing I kept thinking, "It will be all right if the old boy does not reach out too far and swat, that blond with his baton." I think the choir members had the most fun in their Jam sessions back- stage.
I had my fun when I went to town to buy the the little woman a pair or slacks. I strolled into the ladies’ department in the store with that perfect composure which comes only from a guilty conscience, feeling about as inconspicuous as good English in a college conversation. Finally I picked out a sympathetic-looking saleslady, and tried to make her understand what was wanted. She grasped the fundamental proposition with commendable alacrity, assisting in the selection with remarkable j udgment and consideration. Shucks! I believe I could do that again— as Ben Franklin put it, "Experience is a queer teacher.”
Well, nothing much happened this week yet except the Senior Retreat,

Bulldogs Enter K. C. Track MeetEight McPherson Tracksters
Participating In Events At Baldwin.
Unless inclement weather this afternoon forces postponement of the conference track meet at Baker Uni- versity, Baldwin, the finals will be run off this afternoon. Beginning at 10 o’clock this morning the trial heats and preliminary eliminations were made.
Coach "Buck” Astle is entering only eight men in the meet. They are Rollin Wanamaker, high hurdles, broad jump, mile relay, and high jump; Joelle Letkeman, high and low hurdles and mile relay: Olan Nincehelser, 880 and mile relay: Mark Porter, mile and 2-mile; Dan Zook, shot and discus; Tony Meyer, shot aud discus: Dave McGill, shot and discus; LaVerne York, mile relay.
Possibly "Buckshot” Van Vleet and Glen Funk will enter the broad jump and high j ump, but at this writing it is indefinite. College of Emporia won the meet last year and will again bring a strong team this season, however, they will be faced with much stronger competition.
Doubles Team to BakerSalina. May 10— McPherson col
lege and Bethany college tennis players represented the western division of the Kansas conference in the an- nual conference meet at Baldwin yesterday as a result of a playoff hero
The doubles team of Barngrover- Rothrock, McPherson, will go to Baker. This team drew a bye in the first round Monday and then defeated Shaw-Piper. Wesleyan. 6-4. 6-0.
Results could not be obtained of the conference meet in time for publication.
Cinders In Your Eye
By The Colonel Conference Crystal—
Regardless of the high-scoring Ottawa Braves. Bud Selves highly- touted Presbys, and the Baker Wild-
cats, McPherson may accumulate enough points this afternoon to take first place or runner-up in the conference meet at Baker.
With a splendid chance to win the laurels in the hurdles, discus, mile, 2-mile, 880, and high jump, the Bul- dogs deserve more than passing notice. The mile relay team. Nincehelser, Wanamaker, Letkeman, and York, will probably be near the top.
Don Meek has returned to the Ottawa aggregation to gain consideration in shot and discus events. Other high-geared performers will be Cliff Rock and Johnson, C. of E.; Jack O'Neal and Bill Mattis. Ottawa: George Bonebrake nnd Earl Dela- field, Baker.
A big question mark is raised on McPherson's strength on the sprints, broad jump, and javelin. Conch Astle will probably enter no men i n
these events.Track is an individual sport and
the team that wins is the one which has the most men in proper condition and a competitive spirit. Captained by Mark Porter, the Canines hope that individual performers will place first in many events.Around the Horn—
With Marvin "Gabby” Fox, Tony 'Screwball" Voshell. Bob "Southpaw" Wiegand, Meredith Rogers, Jack Oliver. Dave "Tennessee Terrier" McGill., Olan Nincehelser, "Slinging Sam" Elrod, Earl "Smoky” Mathiot, Bob Frantz, and Dohn "F ly Swatter" Miller, composing a first-rate baseball team. It is time for weeping and wailing because the college is not able to support the great American pastime.
In makeshift uniforms and using poor equipment, the Bulldog nine has eagerly practiced "just for fun” in order to gain valuable experience under the tutelage of a former short stop, Coach “ Buck" Astle.
If It were possible for the college to purchase bats, balls, protectors, uniforms, shoes, and socks, the boys would be even more willing to buy their own caps, gloves, and individual equipment.
On All-School's Day, May 18. the Canines will play the Friends nine in a return engagement at the athletic park. Roxbury high school will meet either Moundridge or Buhler in a preliminary.
Adjoining the south edge of the Prairie Gardens nursery, the park will probably be filled to a capacity by enthusiastic downtown boosters.
The Quakers will play a return game with the Bulldogs at McPherson on All-Schools Day, May 18.
Etiquette and advanced etiquette are Cleveland College courses.
McPherson college students should indicate their interest by attending the game.May Musings—

Bulldogs Return To Diamond After 8 Years; Drop
Game 5-0.Wichita, May 11— Tho McPherson
college Bulldogs returned to the diamond yesterday for the first time in eight years and dropped a 5-0 decision to the Friends university Quakers on the local field.
McCaul, Friends hurler, allowed only four hits and led the Quaker attack with two hits. Bob Wiegand, starting pitcher for McPherson, was ineffective in giving up three hits in part of the first inning. Meredith Rogers replaced him and turned in a brilliant performance by fanning eleven opponents.
The Bulldogs showed plenty or hustle in their first encounter of the season, but were weak at the plate.
