Alumni Gather In Los Angeles President and Mrs. Andreasen, Miss Rees Attend Annual Banquet Attendance at the third annual reunion banquet of the Southern California Alum- ni association the evening of March 28 in Los Angeles was the main event in a 12-day tour of the West made by President and Mrs. M. L. Andreasen and Dean Pearl Rees in interest of the new library, they reported when they returned here Sunday evening, April 4. Over 200 alumni and former Unionites were present for the occasion, they said. Dr. William Wirth, student at Union in 1911, was master of ceremonies; and Dr. Arthur Christensen, student here in 1913, was chairman. President Andreasen gave the principal address, in which he paid tribute to President Morrison's past administration at Union college. Other speakers on the program were Mr. B. M. Emerson, former business manager of Union college, and Mr. J. S. James, here in 1896-97. Florence Lu- cille Terry-Brown, '35, gave a reading. Special music was furnished by Prof. and Mrs. Stanley E. Ledington, teachers here last year. Wilton Halverson, '19, was elected president of the asociation for the coming term. Dr. L. L. Jones was the only member of the "original 70" who was present. Dean Rees spent one night in Arling- ton, Calif., where Southern California Junior college is located, and visited a few hours at the school. She spent some time with Miss Elsie Gibbs, '17, who is assistant superintendent of the public school system of San Bernardino. The Union college group, which in- cluded Mrs. Carl Martinson, student here in 1913, left California Wednesday and took the Southern route to Nebraska. En route they stopped at Denver over the Sabbath and arrived at Lincoln Sunday evening, April 4. � CT � Editor of Ministry Speaks in Seminar Friday Night Elder L. E. Froom, editor of 'The Min- istry and associate secretary of the Min- isterial association, was the speaker at the last seminar meeting, held Friday evening, April 2. "Winning Souls," the subject of Elder Froom's remarks, was made vivid by a number of examples and illustrations. The speaker urged more personal work in winning souls to Christ. "Prayer is the secret of power," Elder Froom stated, "especially secret prayer." Week Of Prayer To Start April 12 Spring devotion week at Union, be- ginning the 12th of April and continuing till the 16th, will be in charge of Elder E. L. Pingenot, '27, pastor of the College View church. According to the custom here, there will be two meetings each day during the week, at which he will speak. Besides the meetings in charge of the pastor, there will be prayer bands each day in the college building. Leaders of these bands are as follows: Herbert Christensen, Howard Mattison, Hans von Tenspolde, Francis Avery, Orville Schneider, Avery Dick, Irene Johnson, Jean McLellan, Vesta Fillman, Margaret Rogers, Cleora Turner, and Mildred Priest. CT Colporteurs Hold Institute Here Jackson, Chairman, Says Prospects for Literature Ministry More Favorable than Previously About 65 students have responded to the call of the literature ministry and plan to go out during the coming summer to sell books in the states of the North- ern and Central unions, estimated Mr.' J. M. Jackson, field secretary of the Central union, on the third day of the colporteur institute held here April 4 to 9. A. K. Phillips was chosen to direct the student colporteur band, which will meet regularly till the. end of the semester. "Prospects in the field look much bet- ter for colporteurs now than they have previously," Mr. Jackson stated in an interview. He said the list of prospec- tive canvassers is twice that of last year. Christian salesmanship is the topic that was presented by Mr. J. M. Jackson and Mr. P. D. Gerrard, field secretary of the Northern union, in the meetings of the week. Another factor besides brighter pros- pects that increased the student colpor- teur band is the emphasis placed upon the literature ministry by the recent board meeting here. A resolution was passed at that time, which is reprinted as follows: "We recommend: That we encourage those looking forward to denominational employment to devote a minimum period of at least six months of faithful serv- ice in the colporteur ministry prior to employment in any other department of service." Debaters Will Argue About Judicial Plan "Resolved: That President Roose- velt's judicial plan should be adopted" is the subject to be debated soon at a chapel period by members of the Debate club, it was learned recently from Or- ville Iverson, secretary of the club. The next regular meeting of the club will be April 20, when an open forum will be held. The subject to be dis- cussed at that time will be "Resolved: That compulsory chapel attendance be abolished." Students of Speech Presented in Recital Six Expression Pupils of Mrs. Hilts Give Selections Saturday Night Students of the Union College Speech department, under the direction of Mrs. Ivamae S. Hilts, were presented in a recital the evening of April 10 in the college chapel. Eleven numbers were on the program. Six students in private expression gave readings. They were as follows: The Promise � Donnell Maurine Peterson Guiseppe on Golf � Moreno Chester Wickwire Wall of Silence � Turnbull Eunice Kelly Moods of Spring Spring Song � Millay � Dementia Vernalia Author Unknown Chansons Innocence.... Cummings Eunice Ekstrom The Necklace � de Maupassant Ann Sorenson Power of the Dog � Terhune Clyde Kearbey Three numbers were given by the re- cently organized speech choir. They were: Tarantella � Belloc The Congo � Lindsay In the Modern Manner � . Parnall � CT � Elder L. E. Froom Gives Lecture Series Researcher Outlines Results of Five Years' Seeking Source Documents A series of lectures on the develop- ment of the Second Advent belief was presented by Elder L. E. Froom, who was commissioned by the General con- ference to trace the beginnings of the Advent message through the ages, in the Union college chapel and in the College View Seventh-day Adventist church here from Wednesday till Sabbath. The three main purposes of Elder Froom's five years of research were to answer forty-four questions propounded by dissenters from the Advent faith, to compile a complete record of the Miller- ite movement from 1831 to 1854, and to make a world quest for documents re- lating to the development of Adventism. "After my travels, during which I studied and examined thousands of docu- ments and gathered over seven thousand source documents, my faith is immeasur- ably stronger than ever before," declared the lecturer. "I cannot see how anybody can find anything to be ashamed of in adhering to the Advent faith." Elder Froom pointed out that the Sec- ond Advent belief is not a "new notion," as many moderns believe, but an age-old truth that can be traced back to the early Christian era. To make clear his points the speaker used two huge charts to show his findings dating from ancient to mod- ern times and a great many photostatic reproductions of source documents, in- cluding letters, journals, books, and peri- odicals. Works penned by such men as Wyc- (Continued on page 7) Union Now Accredited Program of Welcome Given for President upon His Return from Meeting in Chicago ANDREASEN REPORTS President Emphasizes Greater Need for Strict Adherence to Principle by Students and Teachers A feeling of joyous thankfulness, re- strained, however, by a sense of greater responsibility, characterized students and teachers at the chapel gathering Friday when President Andreasen, upon his re- turn from Chicago, announced in person that Union was granted by the North Central Association of Colleges and Sec- ondary Schools full senior college recogni- tion. The news of the decision, having reached here the day before by long distance, started preparations for a spe- cial program of welcome for the Presi- dent, which was given Friday morning. As President Andreasen walked onto the chapel platform he was hailed with a salute, played by the college band. His short speech was followed by responses of appreciation from Theodore Torkelson, speaking for the students, and Prof. T. A. Little, speaking for the faculty. President Andreasen spoke solemnly when he pointed out how the new achievement of accreditation has added to Union college a great responsibility. Now it is more important than ever that the students and faculty prove loyal to the "faith once delivered to the saints," he declared. In speaking of the achievement, the goal toward which Union has been striv- ing for some time, President Andreasen gave much credit for success to the fac- ulty. He expressed appreciation for the students also. "It's all because we have worked together—," he said. � CT � Elder A. W. Peterson Gives Chapel Speech Success, happiness, and destiny lie in being in the place which God has chosen for one, emphasized Elder A. W. Peter- son, Missionary Volunteer secretary of the General conference, in his talk to the students of Union college in chapel March 31. Enlarging upon the text "I have chos- en you,- found in John 15:16, Elder Peterson said, "The consciousness of be- ing destined by God gives direction to life, because when the Lord takes hold of a life, it becomes a merit." "God has chosen us because he has a place for us," declared the speaker. "He does not call anyone to disappointment or failure. It is how we relate ourselves to this call that determines whether or not we will be successful and happy or be failures and disappointed." "Today there are finer opportunities in God's cause than ever before; the big- gest and best days of the Advent move- ment are still ahead of us," declared Elder Peterson in emphasizing the need for influential and consecrated young people to direct the M. V. work of their local churches and to lead boys and girls to respond to God's call. � CT � ANNIVEUIAVY • "Happy Birthday to You." This is the way the present CLOCK TOWER staff felt when it discov- ered that the paper had reached its tenth birthday. Just as proud parents set about to celebrate the tenth birthday of a child, so the staff takes the pleasure of giving such a cognizant to this literary child of the students and faculty of Union. In this, due attention is given to the many guardians who have looked after the welfare of the paper "lo these many years." The tenth anniversary — what does it mean to THE CLOCK Tow- ER? Much publicity is given to the yearly celebration of John D. Rockefeller on his birthday. He has amassed his millions and be- come famous because of it. THE CLOCK TOWER may not be famous for wealth, large circulation, or na- tional publicity, but it is certainly famous for being an inspiration to many young people. Very well chosen was the name given to the voice of Union when it changed from a magazine style publication to a newspaper. That symbol which shall always distinguish Union from any other college is the clock tower. How symbolic it is in � (Continued on page 7) CAILENIDAU April 16 7:07 p. in. Sunset 6:40 p. m.

Academy oratorical con- test • From �• Other Schools By "X" Time is one of those things which can- not be defined. We only know or be- come sensitive of it through certain pro- cesses of nature which require it for their continuance and perfection, toward which it may therefore be said to bear a relation. We only appreciate it as a fact in the universal frame of things when we are enabled by these means to measure it. The life of a well-constituted individu- al will, under fair conditions, last about seventy spaces of time called years. very rarely a hundred. The cluster of people going to a school will pass through certain changes inferring social, religious, and educational improvements in the course of still larger spaces of time; say decades. With such matters It is the province of history to deal, and actually from this source we learn pretty clearly what has been going on during the life of our school. In dealing with a school paper it is necessary to create pictures. Pictures are everywhere today, instructing, in- forming, and amusing, giving us knowl- edge of the past. To this same end every holiday or anniversary needs a re- view to assist in its celebration, and to appeal to our feelings. Anna Marie Krieger is celebrating a three-months anniversary of the reign of her two little red and brown dogs. They follow her to school each day, but she doesn't take them to social events. They're college bred and she's not go- ing to give them any bad ideas. These two pups are the offspring of a collection of over four hundred that Anna Marie's friend, Isabel Hughs of Kansas, possesses. (Bet she doesn't live in a dormitory.) Annie won't tell the names of her dogs for fear of embarrass- ing the two boys they're named after. Anyway, Red and Brown had a visit in South hall for about a month. A gallant knight finally came to the rescue and saved the dogs from the fate destined for them by that supreme knight of knights. (Annie said she had a hard time taming Red and Brown when she got them back.) The dogs are fed on milk, grape-nuts, orange juice, cookies, and candy; but they are too aristocratic to have worms, she'll have you to know. Little Reddie and Brownie (?) are vicious only when around people they don't like, or when they're fed meat; so beware! Mary Ann Herwick says she can tell how old she is by the number of Harvest Ingathering campaign's she's been in. Evelyn McWilliams was reciting the list of digestive juices to a friend when she saw someone whom she wanted to greet. "Hello, gastric juice," she con- tinued in the same breath. Did I feel flattered?

Academy Seniors, Welcome • • . In a few days Union college will be host to the members of seven academy senior classes and to other guestst as well. To this responsibility and pleasure we naturally look forward with anticipation. We hope our guests will have a pleasant week-end here. It will probably seem strange at first to some of them to be visiting us, especially to those who have never yet been on Union's campus. We all know how unnatural it seems for us the first day or so when we visit a strange place. And thereby is a duty revealed to every Unionite—to help our guests feel at home. A reception committee has been appointed to lead out in the entertainment of the visitors, but that fact does not subtract from the responsibility that rests upon each college student. Let's do our part to help each academy senior enjoy being at Union. Here's to the Torch-Bearers . I have recently been reading an astronomy book called The Torch-Bearers, in which the author points out famous men at equal intervals of time through the years who have given outstanding impetus to the progress of astronomical science. These men are the torch-bearsrs of the book—the ones who have snatched the burning firebrand of past knowledge from their fallen forerunners and carried it on. How accurately this figure, it occurred to me, describes the ten editors of THE CLOCK TOWER, who have carried on the work of the paper these ten suc- cessive years. When the first staff originated the idea of a newspaper, there were critics who opposed them. But on they went; and the spirit of enthusi- asm which they kindled then has been handed from editor to editor until the present day. I cannot describe how I felt as I thumbed through ten volumes of old CLOCK TOWER'S and read what my predecessors had recorded. It made me glad that I'm a Unionite, that I belong to a college where there is reverence and where there is whole- some student activity. It thrilled me to read how Unionites through the years have studied and played � and laughed and loved and lived. �T. R. T. * � * Friends . . . (This editorial, expressing sentiment as true today as when she wrote it, was written by Verna Burdick, '35, and is reprinted from the issue of that year.) "And the friendships old and the early loves Come back with a sabbath sound, as of doves In quiet neighborhoods." And what is more pleasant than to hear the gentle cooing of doves on a quiet Sabbath morning? It gives one the warm comfortable feeling of rest and relaxation, mingled with an intangible impression of pleasure and contentment. In order to write the above words, Mr. Long- fellow must have had some close friends; otherwise, how could he have painted such a beautiful word picture of what the memory of old friends can mean to one in after years? Are we forming friendships at Union college which in after years can "come back with a sabbath sound, as of doves"? If we are not, we are missing an unequaled opportunity. There are a few students, who, because of tim- idity or bashfulness, shut themselves away from the group, thus failing to get acquainted with others. These people are depriving themselves of one of the greatest joys of college life—the making of friends. They are not only keeping themselves from the pleasure of companionship with others, but are also robbing others of their friendship. People we meet day after day seem very much alike until we learn to know them. The person we thought to be the least interesting of all, may, after an acquaintance is formed, prove to be a priceless jewel. Unless we show ourselves friendly, we may lose out in forming some close friendships that will last throughout eternity. Let's be friends; and let's be the kind of friends and find the kind of friends that will make our mem- ories of school days joyful ones. * � * Student of Early Days Supports New Library Editor's Note: The following is a nersonal letter received recently by Dean Hickok in answer to a solicitation for library funds. We publish it because it reveals a spirit of loyalty for Union characteristic of every Unionite from the earliest times down to the present day. Dr. Mason, a Unionite in 1894, is supervisor of the William Mason Memorial hospital at Murray, Kentucky. My dear Dean: Some time ago I had a letter in which you asked for a donation to the new library which you are planning to build. I greatly enjoyed your letter and feel a great interest in you, also in dear old Union. I was there in 1891-1894, really helped to start the college. In my classes were such men as Dr. New- ton Evans, Dr. Elmer Egleston, Barnhardt of the Battle Creek sanitarium, Wentworth of Battle Creek sanitarium, Guy Dail, Louis Christian, 0. 0. Bern- stein, Willis, Elmer, and Park Adams, Elmer Hays, Frank Perry, Alfred Ogden, Dr. Carl Newton, Dr. T. J. Evans, Elder C. H. Parker, M. E. Kern; and I could name a hundred others who have been and are today prominent men in our denominational work. Yes, I feel a great interest in old Union, al- though I have not seen her or even been in Lincoln since I left there. I understand there have been wonderful changes, especially in College View, and in Lincoln itself, since the early days of old Union. While you know we have a terrible expense, having built the hospital without one cent being con- tributed except what I put in myself, you can realize the tremendous load on us; but I am still interested in Union and I am sending a small amount and hope it will serve some good purpose for those young men and women who are coming on. The fact that they are building a new library brought to my mind an early experience we had when I was a student at Union. At that time we had one room in the college building used as a li- brary. We had only a few books; and at that time, I think it was 1903 and 1904, the students, recogniz- ing how inefficient the library was and how great was the need for books, organized a Student Library association and through the suggestion of the princi- pal, J. W. Loughead, made me the first president. It was my privilege to put on a campaign in Union that raised money to pay for many books, and I am wondering if some of those old books are still in the library. I remember very distinctly the first books that I bought were a set of the Century Dictionary, and I remember we paid $120 for the set. I wish, some day, you would look and see if the Century Dictionary about forty-five or fifty years old is still in the library. Very sincerely yours, William H. Mason, M. D. "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiant- ly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthuisasms, the great de- votions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumphs of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither defeat nor vic- tory."—Theodore Roosevelt. 4 De BUNK 0 The Land of Beginning Again By E. L. PINGENOT, '27 WITH ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS TO L. F. TARGINGTON Thank God! I have found the wonderful place Called the Land of Beginning Again, Where all my mistakes, and all my heartaches, And all of my poor, selfish grief I have dropped like a shabby old coat at the door, To put on never again. I suddenly came on it all unaware, As I stumbled and fell in sin; And I found that the One whom my blindness had done The greatest injustice of all, Was there at the gate, like an old Friend that waits To forgive and to welcome me in. Then He showed me the things I'd intended to do, And He said, "Try again, tho' 'tis late." Little praises were spoken, and my promise unbroken And thus I performed, one by one, Little duties neglected, and thus I perfected The day for one less fortunate. I find it much easier now to be kind In this Land of Beginning Again; And the ones I misjudged, and the ones whom I grudged Their moments of victory and praise Have found in the grasp of my loving handclasp More than penitent lips can explain. For what had seemed hardest, I know now is best; And what had seemed lost is now gain; For there isn't a sting that will not take wing If we take it to Jesus and pray. For the thing most worth while is the light of His smile In this Land of Beginning Again. So I'm glad that there is a wonderful place Called the Land of Beginning Again; Where all my mistakes and all my heartaches And all of my poor, selfish grief I can drop, like a shabby old coat, at the door, And begin with my Saviour again.

How ternpus does fugia Fall of 1926: To change or not to change, that is the all-important question regularly discussed in chapel by student orators. Other schools publish news- papers, why not Union? The Educational Messenger has for four years represented Union in dignified, magazine form. Why change? Opinion gradually favors a newspaper while sentiment clings lovingly to the magazine. . . Pangs of regret fill me while I edit the last, gasping issue of the Messenger and mail it sans cover and sans dignity. January, 1927: The staff is chosen, the paper planned, the date of publication set, before the committee proposes the name THE CLOCK TOWER. Since fiery speakers, during three months, have ex- hausted their eloquence for a newspaper, the name is accepted passively without comment. Press day comes. Other work almost ceases while compositors and make-up men struggle with the new pages. All day staff members come and go import- antly. There will be night work—and I have tickets to the Artists' Course. The "Boss" obligingly lets me attend—and work afterward. At 11 p. in. the forms are almost ready. Soon final corrections are made, "make- ready" finished, and the word given, Fourth Editor Now Employed in Office (Ellen Vogel, editor in '29-•30, is em- ployed at the While Memorial hospital, in Los Angeles. Something has kept her from writing for this issue as per request; so we are herewith reprinting a Christmas greeting she sent to the staff this year.) Some years ago I was editor of your paper. If you have a small unused corner in your alumni news, I should like to send greetings to some of the "old gang.' I am now in the. admitting office of the White Memorial h.o spit a 1. Good luck and best wishes. (Hazel Brebner-Whitthaus was editor when the paper was five years old. She is now teaching in Wichita, and her street address is 1425 Maple.) T HEgraduating student often feels that he is, in a disturbingly final sense, leaving his alma mater behind. We Unionites have found, to our happy surprise, that this is a mistake; for every- where we go we find old friends and fellow-students. And everywhere we find them carrying on responsibilities and fill- ing places of leadership. The spirit of Union is fittingly sym- bolized by the golden cords. And it is loyal- ty to that same spirit of service that in- spires the hundreds of Unionites everywhere tc serve nobly, wheth- er in places of ob- scurity or of more ob- vious importance. � Hazel Brebner- Here in Wichita, � Witthaus where my husband and I are teaching in the intermediate school, we found we were not among strangers. Many who read this number of THE CLOCK TOWER will remember Mrs. Ophelia Riffle-Fer- guson, a graduate of Union and for some time a teacher in the training school. She is teaching with us here. The church choir of about forty voices has for its "Let 'er run!" Printers and staff mem- bers wait for the first, inky copies and then leave me to print the first issue of THE CLOCK TOWER in the wee, small hours. . . . Fall of 1928: At Union after a year's absence, I gladly accept the responsi- bilities of CLOCK TOWER editor. A loyal staff assists. Copy in Sunday mornings, prepared and in the print shop that night; galley proofs read and the dummy pasted up Tuesday; Wednesday after- noon I make up the pages and print the paper that night—on time every issue. There are staff meetings, the subscrip- tion campaign, the entertainment in ..he Castle, weekly editorials, frantic hurry- ing for news, important items overlooked —and typographical errors. . . These are—in 1937—pleasant memories all. Mrs. Stenberg and I are at the Caribbean Training college. Days are full and nights seem short, for, besides having charge of the printing industry, teaching typewriting and a class in edu- cation, I am preceptor with forty-four boys, and Mrs. Stenberg teaches Junior School classes and music.—Union and Artists' Courses are far away. THE CLOCK TOWER, now an insepar- able part of our alma mater, keeps us informed of Union's progress—when it reaches us. An air mail letter breaks the regularity of my duties. Another editor requests me to act "pronto," tell of my work, and give reminiscences for THE CLOCK TOWER'S tenth anniversary number—all in three hundred words. Im- possible, my friend! Allow me at least three thousand words and another decade. May Union continue to fit young peo- ple for Christian service; and may THE CLOCK TOWER faithfully bring Union to al! of us, who are far away, and give experiences--and pleasant reminiscences —to each successive staff. � Cr � Good breeding consists in concealing how much we think of ourselves, and how little we think of the other person.—Mark Twain. leader Miss Marian Christmann, also a Unionite. Nearly every Sabbath we meet Mr. and Mrs. Eddie Barr. (You will remem- ber Mrs. Barr as formerly Thelma Chris- pens.) They drive in from Clearwater, a neighboring town, where Eddie is super- intendent of the high school. Both are active in church work, Mr. Barr having the superintendency of the Junior division of the Sabbath school. Only recently he was chosen also as an elder and mis- sionary leader for the church. A few weeks ago we met another cou- ple with their young son. These were none other than Dave Olson and his wife (formerly Marguerite Priest.) Dave is in ministerial work in the Kansas con- ference. And that reminds me of an- other Unionite whom we have met sev- eral times since coming to Kansas—Louis Pettis. He used to be one of the CLOCK TO\VER writers back in the days when I wielded the blue pencil and is now our conference educational secretary. DeVon Millar, a more recent Unionite, while finding it impossible to attend col- lege this year, is nevertheless doing his part. He is M. V. leader here in the home church and is looking forward to college again next year. I wish this meeting of past editors were personal, rather than only escritorial. I should get pleasure out of watching Ada Williams type off a spicy editorial again. And it would be real fun to spend an evening with Ellen Vogel putting the dummy together. By the way, Ellen, do you remember the time we forgot what time it was, got locked into the main building, and had to climb out through a basement window? When remembering the many hours spent in the CLOCK TOWER office, one cannot fail to think of our adviser, Pro- fessor Little, who by his patience and never-failing sense of humor kept our spirits up and kept us from making too many blunders. Though I am still interested in writing and have sold a few small things, I must confess I haven't written that book I have been "accused" of by numerous friends who claimed they read it in THE CLOCK TOWER about a year ago. I have never been able to find out just what the book was about. Perhaps if someone could tell me, I would write it when I get old enough to warrant such pre- sumption. Our school here keeps us very busy. The buildings and grounds are well equipped, and we have an enrollment of more than seventy. No doubt within a few years many of our students will find their way to "dear old Union" and "help to swell her student throng." � CT � Memories of Union Encourage Minchin To us here on the out- skirts the memory of Union is a great encour- agement. Certainly one will be accused of being sentimental when he re- fers to the old brick side-walks, the lawns, the friendly cottonwoods, and the creak in the stairs Gerald Minchin up to the chapel. But what if it! To some of us Union is more a person than an institution. Editor Sees Symbol In Chapel Exit Sign (Ada Williams-Turner, who was editor- in-chief in '32-'33, lives in Lincoln and gets her mail at 4852 Bancroft, where Mr. Tur- ner (Harry) is preceptor in the South hall annex. She does stenographic work at the Central Union conference office.) The other evening in the chapel the exit sign above the draped windows at the back of the platform made me think about exits—exits from combats, from stages, from life; and, most of all, exits from Union. Of course, I agree with those who rather regret that the little red word some- what detracts from the effect of the il- luminated picture of the college. Entirely aside from beauty or necessity, though, in another sense, the word is in a good place. Ada Williams-Turner The picture of the college represents now, worth-while because of a strong present and more than forty-five years of tradition on the hill. The golden cords represent the future, in behalf of which parents have prayed and sacrificed for sons and daughters. Might not the verb exit represent Matthew 28:19, 20, "Go ye therefore?" Union college is different from other institutions of learning because it was founded a missionary college. We could never be loosed from a sense of that, for we are all bound by ties, either of friendship or blood, to those at the outer ends of the golden cords. So isn't the little word particularly fitted to the con- stantly spoken and unspoken appeal of Union? EXIT—being interpreted in a lengthy way, "in the light of what this picture and these cords represent, go out likewise." � CT � McKibben Happy In Unanticipated Work (This letter from Janet McKibben-Jacobs arrived by air mail just as this page was going to press. It completes the symposium of editors; every one has now written. Mrs. Jacobs' address is Lodi Academy, Lodi, Calif.) "When I get big I'm going to be a missionary to Africa." Yet in spite of all the books I've read since those early church school days, and notwithstanding the friends from Africa I've contacted and the mission bands I've joined, I still am not a foreign missionary. At Oak Park academy my heart was Janet McKibben-Jacobs set on being a music teacher. Not even a college education interested me then. But all the music I've taught has ben primary singing and piano lessons to country children. After meeting a lovely and inspiring preceptress at Oak Park, I was persu- aded into the joys of playing big sister to academy girls. This I finally did for one year at Lodi academy, California; but before I could establish a career for myself, I began playing housewife. At Union my major was English. I liked it. I still like it. And I am a teach- er; but I've taught English subjects only one semester since I left college. (Continued on page 7) Southern Editor, of '35, Sends Congratulations (Mary Jene Wofford, chief in '34-'35, is teaching in Houston, Texas. Her address is 913 Yale. This letter reached The Clock Tower office early in March, thus the al- lusions to cold weather.) Congratulations on your tenth birthday! To know you has been not only a pleas- ure, but worry and work—and hard work, too. If that maxim that says something about all toil with no holidays making Mary Jene Wofford dull people is true, you have caused some bad situations. But I like you just the same. Since I have left Union and am at- tempting to earn a meager penny, I have been convinced of one thing—whoever first introduced the idea of the "easy going South" wasn't a Southern school teacher. Teaching is much more fun than going to school, and very much more work. However, I never realized I could (Continued on page 8) � CT � 1935-36 Editor Now Colorado Preceptress (Esther Reeder, last year's editor, now preceptress at Campion academy, at Love- land, Colo., guided the paper through a crisis in its career. Just as it was enter- ing the pre-adolescent stage, it ran into some difficulties which threatened for a while its continuance; but now all is well.) I think the idea of celebrating THE CLOCK TOWER'S birthday is an excellent one. I wish I could be there to help ad- minister the spanking and give one or two extra "to grow on." Was it it only last year that I tried so fee- bly to edit the paper? It seems so long ago, yet in some ways it was only last week that I was in the print shop getting my hands black trying to help the boys assemble a bit of type. I'm sure I wasn't much help, but it was fun pre- tending I was. I suppose no editor ever escaped ex- periencing some discouraging moments when the whole thing seemed hopeless and doomed to failure, yet it's so nice that those aren't the things remembered. It's only the pleasant good times and foolish little blunders (which now seem only humorous) that stand out in memory. I wouldn't take anything for my experi- ence as editor. I enjoy being preceptress here at Campion, but it was a long time before I got used to it. I caught myself think- ing many times that Miss Rees would soon be back and I could take my own worship room chair again. But Miss Rees has never returned, so I'm still conduct- ing worship and looking after the general welfare of the girls. They are bubbling over with pep and enthusiasm. Anyone not used to the western spirit would probably wonder if they were capable of being motionless or quiet at any time, but my girls would show that they can when the study period bell rings. Only once this year have they been noticeably noisy in study period and that was the evening the preceptor was over. After all my bragging about the quiet dormi- tory, they acted up the one and only time the preceptor visited the dormitory in the evening. I must not get started on preceptress experiences or this poor letter will be so long that it will surely be introduced to the waste paper basket. Here's wishing a happy birthday to THE CLOCK TOWER and success to its staff. Hazel Brebner--Witthaus Tells of Teaching Intermediate School SNingin (111/CitEl ftom (Gerald Minchin, another editor who was a member of the first staff, served as Clock Tower chief in '31-'32. He writes to us from 399 Upper Serangoon Road, Singa- pore, S. S.) I F THERE is any member of THE CLOCK TOWER staff of 1926-27 who has not responded to our former chief's request for a "line o' type," let his name be forever anathema. They were great days, and those of us who helped usher THE CLOCK TOWER into the world are proud that the fond child has grown to lusty manhood. True, there were times when we thought Shakespeare must have had our youthful paper in mind when he said something about an "infant, mewling and puking in the nurse's arms.- But we can see now that our child was only suf- fering from growing pains. Yes, they were great days indeed; and doubtless those of you who are carrying on now will be able to say the same when you look back on your occupation with THE CLOCK TOWER. And now a word about ourselves. My work as educational and M. V. secre- tary for the Malayan mission takes me over Malaya, Siam, French Indo-China, Sarawak, and British North Borneo. In these countries we have nearly 700 stu- dents in our schools, some of which are rather primitive while others are of quite a high standard. Our seminary here in Singapore has an enrollment of 186, and does work through the first year of college. We prepare our students for Cambridge university examinations. At present I am also doing some teaching in the seminary—English and history. Mrs. Minchin (Belle Rhoades) is office sec- retary at the Union office. This is a fascinating field with its great variety of races. It is truly the crossroads of the East. Singapore, with a population of over half a million, is a surprisingly modern city. Incidently, it is perhaps one of the cleanest cities in the East. Our work is slow among the Moham- medan Malays, but is more fruitful among the Chinese and Indians. Some of you will remember my daugh- ter Dorothy. Well, she was a little thing when we were at Union last, but it is sufficient to say that now she is flourish- ing to such a degree that we have con- sidered the possibility of having to put the poor child on a diet. We are of good courage out here and are glad for this opportunity to greet old friends and express once more our love for old Union and our appreciation for all she has done for us. Need I add that letters from the homeland are always 'more than welcome? � CT � (aOri,t2ilt � GS)14,712TidE cPaTty Mrs. Clayoma Engel-Foreman, mem- ber of the Union college string ensemble and general violin assistant to Prof. C. C. Engel, was the victim of a surprise birthday party at her home the evening after St. Patrick's day. The astonished surprisce swept a wondering look over the half circle of conspirators, looked at her husband as much as to say, "Et, ten," gulped audibly three times, and sat down to collect her emotions. Presently she recovered her aplomb and blew out all of the candles on her birthday cake (which must not have been many) in one ladylike gust. Games of skill, ingenuity, and doubtful chance were part of the diversion, some of which may improve Mrs. Foreman's tennis game but do not have transfer value in violin playing. Aside from the honoree and her hus- band, those attending were: Prof. and Mrs. Engel, Mrs. Marcella Dail and son Jackie, Mr. and Mrs. William Whitson, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Little, and Mr. and Mrs. Harry Turner. � CT � The reward of your duty is the power to fulfill another.—Geo.

At the end of a five-year period of service in that field, he returned again to this country and became secretary-treasurer of the Southwestern Union conference. In 1935 he became secretary-treasurer of the South American division and is now located at Calle Pino 3801, Buenos Aires, Argentina, South America. We regret that we have no message from him for this issue, his letter having failed to arrive in time for publication. � CT � (Vazizci ZifE (Opal Rogers-Lynn lives now in Keene, Texas, where Mr. Lynn is printshop man- ager for Southwestern Junior college.) MEN YEARS is not s very long time, but long enough to permit varied experiences to those who were vitally in- terested in choosing the name for THE CLOCK TOWER and in starting it on its career. It was my humble but delightful lot to collect and classify these fascinat- ing bits of paper which represented the fond hopes of individual students regard- ing a name for the infant paper. Since leaving the motherly shelter of Old Union in the spring of 1928, I have had varied and interesting experiences. My thoughts naturally pick out the fol- lowing as high points of my decade: a Bible worker with a tent effort at Neliegh, Nebraska, and the follow-up work after the effort; a preceptress and English teacher at Plainview academy, Redfield, South Dakota, around which experience fond memories of "my girls" still linger; my marriage, a high point in every married woman's life; more Bible work in the Nebraska conference; a baby girl named Ruby Jean (now five years old); and a little over two years later our husky boy, Duane by name; the fear during the hurricane in the Rio Grande valley in September, 1933—. my introduction to Texas; teaching in the Houston Junior academy; and my present home in Keene, Texas, where Robert is in charge of the College' press and I do a little bit of everything that falls to the lot of the homemaker and church worker. It is with anticipation that I wait to hear what the other members of the first CLOCK TOWER board have been doing since those busy, yet carefree days when we gathered for a council in that little room set aside for the school paper. Opal Rogers-Lynn. (The following letter was written by Elva Babcock-Gardner of Kottarakara Travan- core, South India, under date of November 7, 1936. Although it is not a direct com- munication to The Clock Tower, we are substituting it for the message we hoped to receive from the Gardners before this issue went to press.) w HEN I returned from my final Har- vest Ingathering trip last night I found a copy of THE CLOCK TOWER here, and I read it from beginning to end— then — I went to bed and dreamed of Union. We have received several copies of THE CLOCK TOWER and we are most grateful for them. We are interested in everything that happens at Union and we look for news of those we knew there. On March 30, 1937, we sail on the S. S. Potsdam from Colombo, stopping at Singapore one day and at Manilla six days. We travel on the President Coolidge to Hongkong, Shanghai, Kobe (Japan), and Honolulu; then on the fifth of May, "my country, 't is of thee." Oh. it is wonderful to be coming home! Seven years is a very long time and home is such a long way from India. We want to be at Union for commence- ment but we may not be able to. S'itnon. aacfiing (Edna Simon, a Clock Tower pioneer, is teaching at Sheyenne River academy, in Harvey, North Dakota.) I T made me feel so ancient when I was reminded that I had something to do with the first CLOCK TOWER pub- lished that I almost made up my mind not to write, but upon second thought a feeling of pride surged through my veins. So here I come from the land of snow and ice! Since leaving Union I've tried every- thing from matron to German teacher. Of course officially I've been hired as commercial instructor and accountant, but in academy work one has to be pre- pared to substitute in almost any de- partment. Plainview academy and Shey- enne River academy have been the schools of experience for me thus far. I enjoy my work and am grateful for a place in God's organized plan. But once in awhile I do get lonesome for Union again. We do enjoy reading THE CLOCK TOWER here at Sheyenne River academy. � By "we" I mean especially the other Unionites up here. Keep the paper coming up north. We give it a warm reception even though the tempera- ture is below zero. Edna Simon. (Dorothy Foreman writes from College Place, Washington, where she is dean of women at Walla Walla college.) I T SEEMS strangely familiar to be writing something for THE CLOCK TOWER again. And, as was usual back in the days I used to scribble so franti- cally to get copy in not too late, I'm writing this with quite an amazing (to the uninitiated) assortment of duties com- pletely absorbing me. My delay may be called procrastination by others; but I assure you, to me it has seemed quite impossible to do this before. It is im- possible now, but since I just can't fail THE CLOCK TOWER after all these long years, I'm writing anyway. Journalisti- cally I fear I shall entirely misrepresent my good teacher and the fine training I received when I worked intensely before zero hour on THE CLOCK TOWER. It has been very long since I've been called upon to write for publication. Then, too, I am inclined to become sentimental as I reminisce. You see, I feel particularly attached to THE CLOCK TOWER. I just can't help being a bit proud that I was on the committee which chose the name and that I helped edit the very first issue ever published. The committee met on third floor, and we sat looking out on the rolling country of Nebraska, muttering the names over and over to ourselves. We really had a I did Harvest Ingathering in Rangoon six weeks. Yesterday I finished my work with a total of about $20,000 of our money for the six and a half years we have been over here. We have a movie machine and we may entertain you with pictures a year from now or sooner. We have some in- teresting industries, a day at our mission station, and a film, "Strange Things We Have Seen,- besides other films. The missionaries taking our place are in Travandrum studying the language. They are very fine folk. They are in love with our place, and I hope they will help the work to grow. We should be grieved if the efforts of these years did not mean the foundation of a greater work. The estate has changed from a rock pile into a garden; the buildings from sheds into substantial buildings; the school from a poor grade of work into one of the best in South India; the en- rollment from forty to ninety; and five industries have been started. The best is that there is a splendid atmosphere here. We have loved our work and these people, and it is hard to leave. "Pulse quickly, heart, at the sound you hear; You're counting the strike' of nine!" 'Tis thus I speak to that inward throb-- This clock-tower heart2 of mine. I tell you, friend, when I hear that clang, It's thrilling, above the whine Of blasting wind; and it leaps again— This clock-tower heart of mine. Old Union! Friend, have you heard the name? Is your heart a-thrill as mine? Then you, no doubt, are about to have A clock-tower heart like mine. 1 The word "strike" as used here denotes the strike of the hour rather than the last stroke of the clock's striking. 2 The expression "clock-tower heart" em- bodies all the meaning of Union college memories, the love of our alma mater, and the thrill of seeing the clock tower or hear- ing the clock strike, near at hand or from afar.—The Author. hesitant time deciding that we liked the name we finally chose, but when we handed in our decision I think we were aware that it was the most beautifully fitting name we could have chosen for the school paper of our college. Even if l've forgotten how to write an article I can never, never forget the grand ideals our alma mater fostered in us--ideals of sound thinking, unselfish achievement, and worthy everyday living. I can never, never forget the friendships that even to this day make life more comforted and blessed. I can never, never lose the inspiration and propulsion to bear my part of the burden resting on Seventh-day Adventist young people to go anywhere and do anything for the great Message and the Master.
