CLASS OF 1936 SENIOR NUMBER CLOCK TOWER Vol.— X COLLEGE VIEW STATION, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, APRIL 24, 1936 No. 14 SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA PERFORMS IN CONCERT Twenty-four Students Play In- struments; Two Sing Solos; Quartet Sings C. C. ENGEL DIRECTS Felicia Wright Featured at Piano; Mrs. H. C. Hartman Furnishes Accompaniment A concert by the Union College Symphony orchestra under the direc- tion of Prof. C. C. Engel was given in the college chapel Saturday night, April 18. Probably the largest audience of the school year gathered in the chapel to listen to the orchestral and vocal mu- sic presented by Union's music depart- ment. Besides an unusual attendance of college students there were two hun- dred academy seniors present who were visiting at the college. The orchestra played as the first se- lection Mozart's "Cosi Fan Tutte O- verture." Other numbers played by the orchestra were "Invitation," by Web- er, two Strauss numbers, "Pizzicato Polka" and "Voice of Spring," and Hungarian Dance No. 6, by Brahms. The first movement of Mendelssohn's Concerto in G Minor was played by Miss Felicia Wright at the piano with orchestral accompaniment. The vocal numbers of the evening were rendered by Miss Nellie Linscott, contralto, who sang "None But the Lonely Heart," by Tschaikowski; Harold Schmidt, baritone, who sang "Water Boy. - by Robinson; and by the Union College quartet, which sang "Border Bally'," by Cowen, "John Peel," an old English melody, and Wolfe's "Shortenin' Bread. - The members of the orchestra are as follows: first violins, Clayoma Engel, Henry Meissner, Della Kramer, Hel- mut Wakeham, Walter Herman, Ger- aldine Sullivan, and Isabelle Brebner; second violins, Frederick Harder, Lu- cille Jones, Ralph Adams, Mae Soren- sen, and Sylvia Jones; viola, Henry (Continued on page 2) SOUTH HALL EFFECTS NEW IMPROVEMENTS South hall improvements have been effected lately in that the fountain between the dormitory and the college building is flowing again and a hedge is being planted where the old iron railing used to be. The birds which live on the Union College campus are said to have sung an especially sweet song a few days ago when they awoke and found the fountain turned on. One of the more outspoken robins is supposed to have confessed that he never did believe in taking baths before but when he saw the sparkling water he just couldn't help indulging. The hedge is being set out under the direction of John Zollbrecht, chief tree surgeon on the Union College campus. The ground is soaked with a generous supply of water to insure a speedy growth. Individuals with speculative minds, which can imagine the beautiful, say they are already able to picture a leafy hedge. CARLTON BLACKBURN First Semester President CHURCH CHOIR SINGS CANTATA Mr. S.

My Impression of Union by Marvin Lawrence Whenever a person visits a new place, there is one thing he is certain to get—an impression of the place in general and of the people with whom he comes in contact. I consider it a rare privilege to have been permitted to spend the past week-end at Union, and with my leaving, I, like many others, am taking with me impressions of Union I did not have heretofore. Probably the thing that impressed me the most was the spirit and the morale of the college. The fact that the students are here for business was evident. Although Union believes in and practices a certain amount of re- creation, the most important side of the student's development, the spirit- ual, is by no means forgotten. My first introduction to this side of Union was at the impressive vespers service last Friday evening. The Sabbath school, church, and Missionary Volun- teer meetings on Sabbath, all enhanced greatly by the use of good music, have (Continued on page 3) Eulogizing "The Weather man telegraphed me the other day wanting to know if we were planning anything for Sunday evening and that if we were he would see that we should have some fine weather—providing the event would merit it." These were the words of the hostess at the Junior-Senior ban- quet April 12. Needless to say the occasion was deserving of extraor- dinary weather. So it was that on a lovely evening the juniors and seniors donned their party clothes and left North hall to make their way to one of the nicest occasions in the history of the college. Ex- cellent food, fine entertainment, and beautiful table decorations all con- tributed to the affair. There wasn't a lifeless moment during the entire evening. Everyone bubbled 1.,ith ex- citement and pleasure. The seniors were aware of the fine spirit among the juniors; nevertheless the banquet exceeded all expectations. Music, speeches—everything can best be lauded by saying, "Thank you, Juniors, for the loveliest evening we have had in college." SPEECH STUDENTS PRESI!NT RECITAL Program o f Readings a n d Poems Provides Saturday Evening Entertainment Students of interpretative speech, under the instruction of Miss Norma Hilde, gave a recital Saturday night, April 11. First on the program was Helen Cornell, who read "Dry Goods and Notions," a story about a young up- start who tried to run his father out of business by stiff competition and who later learned that the best way to get along is by kindness and consideration for the other fellow, by Mildred I. Reid. Gladys Smith gave a reading adapted from Mary Eliza Starbuck's short story "An Error in Dead Reck- oning," which was a conversation be- tween two typical feminine neighbors. The beauty of Edna St. Vincent Millay's poetry was brought out by Evelyn Nelson as she read "Journey . and other poems and gave a sketch of the poet's life. Alice LaBonte read an adaption from "Sand," by Char- lotte Burgess Smith. Jesse Dittber- ner gave one of the prize stories which received the 0. Henry Memorial Award, "Lay Me Low!" by Louis Paul. "Man's Place," given by Ida Green, was based on the age old but ever amusing plot dealing with mis- taken identity. LAST LYCEUM NUMBER GIVEN BY A DRAMATIC ORATOR William Rainey Bennett, known to audiences as "The Man Who Can," from his lecture of the same name, will appear Saturday night in the college chapel as a lyceum speaker. Mr. Bennett's lectures are based upon direct and intimate contacts with various types of people. He has a life philosophy to offer that will be worth every student's attention, ac- cording to representatives of Mr. Bennett's audiences. WARREN SWAYZE Second Semester President DR. DICK READS HISTORY PAPER Department H e a d Attends Mississ'ppi Valley His- torical Association "Frontier Newspapers of Kansas and Nebraska" was the title of a paper read by Dr. E. N. Dick to members of the Mississippi Valley Historical association gathered for a meeting at Austin, Texas, April 16 and 17. • The Daily Texan reports to its readers the following: "That the fron- tier newspaper in Kansas was a pion- eer in the true sense of the word; that these frontier newspapers were on the ground waiting to print news if there was any, were the essential facts emphasized in a paper on "Frontier Newspapers of Kansas and Nebraska, - delivered by Everett Dick of Union College. " 'Papers were usually trumpets for town companies,' Mr. Dick related. He continued by describing the ubiqu- itous duties that were those of the pioneer editor, pointing out that J. E. Johnson, a Mormon, edited a news paper, practiced law, and sold insur- ance and merchandise. He said that the editorials were over-developed and that the pioneer editor wrote very informally of events in the commun- ity." This was part of an active program carried out by the society in studying history. Austin has in its center a great university building program nearing completion. The historical points in Austin and San Antonia were visited by memers of the society. The program was complete with din- ners and meetings of various kinds. o FIVE RECEIVE AWARDS Notice that five Union college stu- dents were awarded honorable men- tion for papers submitted to the In- structor College Pen League contest, which is sponsored annually by the Youth's Instructor, was received re- cently by Prof. Tom Little from Lora Clement, editor of the Youth's In- structor. Those receiving the one dollar for honorable mention were Elmer James Martinson and Einar A. Haugen, freshman rhetoric students, and Mrs. H. Yost, Ingvald Johnson, and Alice LaBonte, Newswriting students. Seventeen other submitted papers were accepted for printing. Two first awards were won by Pacific Union college and one by Southern Cali- fornia Junior college. SECONNY GRADUATES VISIT UNION COLLEGE Two Hundred Fifteen Seniors and Other Guests Come from Seven States GIVE M. V. SERVICE Visitors Have Detailed Schedule of Campus Tours, Services, Games, Parties, Programs Union College seniors extended greetings to academy and high school graduates from seven states at the annual Union College week held April 17-20. Registration began at one thirty Fri- day when thirty-nine Oak Park Acad- emy guests arrived. Other groups fol- lowed until six thirty when Enterprise academy brought the total to two hundred fifteen visitors, who remained until Monday forenoon. The usual vespers service was con- ducted in the chapel Friday evening by President M. L. Andreasea. The main features of the Sabbath program were Sabbath school, church service, and Young People's Mission- ary Volunteer meeting. In keeping with the thought of service President M. L. Andreasen showed that training should be a specialized training in a Christian school founded on the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy. Union is estab- lished for such a purpose, he said. The M. V. service was rendered by representatives of each academy. Four speakers gave their reasons why a Christian education is essential and how they would find it at Union col- lege in preference to universities. Musical numbers were interspersed throughout the program consisting of a ladies' octette, a vocal duet and solo, and a trombone solo. The U. C. academy furnished an orchestra. Sunday presented a series of events of swimming, basketball, and games between academy groups and college students. The annual baseball game of academy seniors vs. college fresh- men was again won by the college students. Most of the afternoon was spent in the tour of the campus led by the College seniors. Among the displays, the attractions of interest this year were the new Music conservatory in the castle, the new Dairy building, and the remodeled power house at which place each academy head was presented with a miniature building jack. This was quite a lift for Professor Newman of Enterprise. This tour, usually taken in the fore- noon, was scheduled for the afternoon. The police pups and young colt per- formed dutifully as the guests visited the farm. After supper the Union College Medical corps presented a half hour drill preceding the faculty reception for all guests. This was held in the dining room. Again the academies were given the opportunity to feature their state or school in various ways. The prize of a pennant was awarded to Campion academy of Colorado. The ideal spring weather that pre- vailed during the entire visit lent to a most enjoyable season of acquaint- ance and friendship.

But apparently he did it in all innocence. At to the student. George Bernard Shaw once said, "Those who know, do; those who don't know, teach." Yet they don't teach—they only pass as teach- ers. A common sin, or rather a thing that should cause more remorse than plagarism, is to stand in the position of "teach- er" even for one year making weak assignments and not put- ing life into learning. This is not an easy task, but may it be that Union College students who plan to enter the teaching profession learn before leaving college that they must be on the alert and constantly testing themselves. May it be that no teacher will ever be guilty of sleepily permitting a Floyd Lewis catastrophe. E. R.

That their lives have helped us to realize the need of building each day a life for eternity makes us understand better that we, too, must spare no means to construct a life worthy of emulation.

Without much add, he blamed his peculiar garb on the seniors. * * * Esther Reeder was puzzled Sunday. She didn't know whether to wear her white shoes or her blue ones. "My white ones hurt my feet," she said, "and so do my blue ones." * * * Whiz! Bang! Crash! Amidst the peaceful snores of Dr. Dick came a more distinct and sleep-disturbing crash, the echo of which smashed the rear fender and wrecked the tire of John Phillips' new "tin Tizzy." The immediate cause of the dreadfill on- slaught was careening down the road. After pursuing the swerving car for five miles at a rate of seventy per,., John's V-8 stepped right tip behind. The driver had absorbed too much "moonshine" and had not the slightest idea of meeting an obstruction in the form of a car fender. John took it upon himself to chauffeur the other car to Ft. Worth, where suitable ar- rangements were made. After four hours of repairing, pull- ing the fender off the wheel and the wheel off the car, the journey was re- sumed, and Dr. Dick's snores were continued with no other eventful happenings. AS THE SENIOR CLASS MARCHED ON! Time: 1946. M. L. Andreasen, denominational preacher on the Spirit of Prophecy, climbed slowly and deliberately into his Austin which he had just received from the cleaners and drove at his usual speed to the Conference office in Washington, D. C. Hardly had the puffing engine stopped when Carlton C. Blackburn, Educational Secretary of the General conference, came bounding down the steps. As Carlton eased his 210 lb. bulk into the Austin, Elder Andreasen gave his usual grunt of dissatisfaction ow- ing to Ford's going out of business. As they sped toward the West, Elder Andreasen broke the silence by saying, "Well, now, Blackburn, you're planning to visit the schools along the way?" "Yes, but I'm especially interested in the school system which has been started in the orphanage at Clinton— the orphanage which Bernice Warner runs." "Yes, she was a member of the class of '36. Now, how many mis- sionaries are there from that class?" -Three. Adeline Voth, after taking nurses' training, went to China; Hans Kuehne is in Germany, and Don Pohle is in South America." '"That nothing! Why didn't someone go to Timbuctoo?" As they neared Chicago, Carlton laughed and said, - Look at those signs!" They wash—they wear. Your figure enhance. They're fashioned for beauty— Coleman's white pants. "Now, that something,— said Elder Andreasen, "that idea of Coleman's. He's making special white pants for college seniors. I hear he is a good elder of the church at Hinsdale, too. Wish we could see him, but St. Louis is the next stop." Sputter, spppptttt, bang! The Austin slowed to a stand still. After much searching among the spark plugs, the carburetor, and battery, it was re- vealed that the gas tank was empty. "Now that something! Blackburn, I see a station at the bottom of the hill. It is you or me for it?" Striking on the happy thought that the car would coast down the hill, they slid to Gilbert's Specialty Gas— Dubonet and White Gas only. It was just at dusk the next day when the traveling trio entered the outskirts of Clinton, Mo. "This is an old Adventist town, - murmured the elder as he slowed down to 50 per. "Yes, there used to be a ministerial school here years ago, didn't there? It's an odd little burg. I wonder "Well can you beat that!" Carlton chuckled as they started on, "That's good. And we nearly ran over him." After spending the night at Barker's home (he was president of the Mis- souri conference) and convening with Helen Cornell on her excellent meth- ods in teaching at the orphanage, the two started on their way to Union college. "Guy, I can hardly wait to see the old college. Just think of it—Elder Yost is president and Vida Kinzer is dean of women since Miss Rees re- tired. Pop Habenicht is still there, though. The deans squabble at times, but President Yost soon fixes things up. He fairly runs things up there these days." Things change in spite of all we can do," Elder Andreasen replied. And after a moment, "Say, where's Bieber?" "He's at Oak Park academy. He's the accountant over there and they say he's pretty good. The preceptress tries to boss him but she doesn't get away with that stuff with old Dave. No, sir." ""Let's go to California by the north- ern route," suggested Carlton. "I'd like to see what Wyoming is like. I haven't been there since the summer I turned broncho rider and colporteur." "That's all right with me. We can go to Denver first." The week-end at Union had been a happy one and early Monday morning they were on the way. "Well, now, who's in Denver that you wish to see?" "Oh, you know Swayze is president of the conference and as a side line he gives music lessons at the church school. He wrote that he's trying to guide them into better teaching meth- ods while he's at it." In Denver, Elder Andreasen retired early. The next morning Carlton bor- rowed the Austin so that he could visit Swayze before school opened. He fairly drove it through town. Just as he crossed Main Street he heard a shrill whistle and lo! there was a cop. As a result Carlton soon found him- self in the police station but luckily for him, as well as its being a sur- prise, the police judge turned out to be Russell Nelson, who instead of charging the usual fine, sentenced him to a good reminiscing of old times at Union. Among the notables discussed was Esther Reeder, and Russell imparted the following information: "Esther is teaching in the kinder- garten grades in New York. She is the author of the 'Reeder Cradle Rhyme.' which is her hobby. But where she really obtains her money for furnishing her extensive wardrobe is from her soap-box speeches. Enor- mous crowds follow her, and, of course, a good collection is taken up." A few days later found the Austin and its two passengers stranded near a large sheep ranch in Wyoming. Neither passenger knew the cause of the Austin's stubbornness in refusing The CLOCK TOWER rublished biweekly during the school year and monthly during August by the Student Publishing Association of Union College.

Their sponsor was the ugly Mr. Yost, who was accompanied by his dumb wife. Among those present was the smart class president, Mr. Swayze, and the rest of the daring class of '36. The overbearing Miss Cox favored us with a solo, and was accompanied on the tall piano by the bowlegged Mr. Barker. The unshaven Mr. Blackburn took his part seriously and came near ruining the punk party when he and the red-headed Dave Bieber and the freckled Everett Coleman argued as to who was the most knock-kneed of the party. Our light-headed Helen Cornell was disconsolate when she had to content herself with the dizzy com- pany of Freeman Gilbert instead of her usual fat escort.

(Continued on page 3) • 4 The following is a Who's Who that has been prepared for the Senior class of 1936 of Union college, by Karie Leeland: Le Verne G. Barker, Golden Valley, North Dakota. Date of Birth, July 21, 1911. Mr. Barker, alias Red, excels in astronomy and biology, and is also a powerful orator. He is still unmarried but good natured about it. He prefers a Ford to a new pair of shoes because it's a long way to North Dakota, * * Carlton Clyde Blackburn, Elgin, Texas. Date of Birth, May 3, 1913. Mr. Blackburn, an outstanding ath- lete of Union college, is fond of pie, ice-cream, and —? We haven't verified this statement yet, but will be able to do so before the final edition of Who's Who goes to press. * * Dave J. Bieber, Tolstoy, South Da- kota, we believe, is one man who really loves his wife. His hobby is buying real estate and houses with "Easy money." We're expecting to hear of Mr. Bieber's success as a great dramatist in the very near future—at least he's very fond of Amos and Andy. * * Everett Frank Coleman from Colo- rado is a genius in wit and humor. He can see two sides to any question. In fact we're unable to decide whether his professional preferences run to school teaching or nursing. * * Helen Louise Cornell from Denver, Colorado, has been a member of in- numerable outstanding organizations from the "Dirty Half Dozen" to "Knightees." And Helen likes nights— both kinds. * * Grace Lillian Cox, from Kansas. Date of birth—withheld. Miss Cox is a severe and un- relenting physical education instructor of unusual ability. She disapproves the general belief that all school teachers are absent-minded. Al- though not an evolutionist, she thinks it very fitting and appropriate to have her picture taken in trees. * * Freeman J. Gilbert, Belle Fouche, South Dakota, is a medical student promising to have a brilliant career as a doctor. He has most of his medical tools already—a bread knife and a can opener. * * Vida Marie Kinzer from Arkansas is a silent testimony of the fact that - Still waters run deep." She is a rare business woman—she can keep a secret. Miss Kinzer is fond of pets —anything from toads to guinea pigs. * Hans Richard Kuehne is a New Yorker who saves his affections for the New York Frauleins. He is using the knowledge of carpentering to build his ladder to success. It is a well- known fact that Mr. Kuehne is by far the best snorer in chapel for the year 1935-36. * * Russell K. Nelson from Minnesota has achieved great success in the art of operating his bicycle and in Domes- tic Science. But he puzzles us a lot. He seems to be able to make the grade in history, but we can't under- stand his affiliations with the Educa- tion department.

In each place as I stopped and talked, those in charge and those working in the departments were always looking for ways of im- proving, advancing, and forging ahead. This movement seemed to pervade the whole college—the onward spirit. I was especially impressed with the hospitality of the college family to- ward its many guests over the past week-end. To me it has been a real pleasure to have spent these few days here. I believe a word of commenda- tion to all who made the many guests feel so welcome would be in order, especially to President Andreasen, the faculty, and the college seniors, who were the hosts and hostesses. That the music department at Union is going up hill there is no doubt. The excellent program Saturday eve- ning reflected the good work that is being done in the field of music of which Union has its share. The new studio added to my impression of progress. In all, my impressions of Union as a training center for Christian young people are good. There is no doubt that Union is a great college doing a great work, and it gives me pleasure to know that my impressions are shared by many of my fellow students. My only regret is that such a fine college as Union does not have the beautiful Rocky Mountains and cli- mate of Colorado surrounding it.

Who are all these people, girls and boys, all dressed in white and trimmed with green? Academy Senior day, did you say? Oh, that explains it. But what is Senior day? Is it some tradition? or something new under the sun? Oh, you mean it was something of an experiment. And you think it was a success. Why was it success- ful? That is answered by the one word "co-operation." Perhaps that deserves a little ex- planation. Now, you see, about a month ago, when this idea was intro- duced, it was decided that the senior class would have control for one day of the entire academy. That meant all classes, the principal's office, and chapel. It also included study periods which were assigned each senior, two exceptions being the principal and his stenographer—Russell Hanson and Grace Whitney. The class chose a committee to plan the program for the chapel hour. Thursday morning having come, those seniors "took over the reins, - as it were. Can you imagine Evelyn McWilliams with 21 freshmen gath- ered around a long table studying light rays? or Bill Pruitt discoursing on Eng- lish literature? or Alene Gibbons quot- ing "Fermez les livres, s'il vous plait"? Business seemed more rushing than usual in the office of Dr. Hagstotz. Even the Academy teachers were called in and penalized for misdemean- ors. They took it good-naturedly, however, when the principal treated them with candy bars. But the chapel hour caused about as much excitement as any other part of the day. Included in this were intro- ductions to the faculty of the day, given by acting-principal Hanson; the reading of the class will, written by Laurene Wiliams and read by Marjor- ie Keene; a piano duet, played by Laurene Williams and Evelyn Mc- Williams; a pantomine (of scenes twenty-six years in the future), written by Evelyn McWilliams; and, for the - grande finale," the "Senior Sym- phony" orchestra, led by conductor William Pruitt, of Russia. Some of the instruments used were a wash tub for a drum, tin lids for cymbals, combs with trumpet mutes for horns, a dinner gong, jug, wash board and bells—well, I guess they were just for rhythm. —Laurene Williams. sow PHs DOLE STUDIO 1125 0 Street Lincoln PROPHECY . . . (Continued from page 2) Heat, desert, mountains, and then the Austin sped into the land of sunshine. "We're here, Blackburn," said Elder Andreasen as they neared Angwin. "Shall we go to Rulkoetter's house first? Being president of P.U.C., and also a member of your Senior class, he might like to see us, and since we've run across so many of your class-mates and heard about others maybe he can tell us more." And he could. "Grace Cox," he said, "is living just a short distance from here. You know she got her M.A. in '37 in Home Economics. She taught awhile but now she has bought a small farm and is raising cows and chickens in the most economical way. Her house was built to conduct cooking, budgeting, and sewing classes. - Annabelle Rumpf is here acting as head of the Home Economics de- partment and she is certainly a suc- cess. Dora Wirak is our matron and she has been giving us good food, too. - You know it seems great to talk over old times. I suppose you heard about—" And so the conversation continued far into the night while the Senior class of 1936 still marched on.

Mrs. William McAllister of Man- hattan, Kansas, visited her sister, Ruth Wightman, last week. 0-- The latest addition to the Union College library is Der Grosse Brock- haus, a German Encyclopedia in twenty volumes. It was a senior who succeeded in getting the clipping of the Junior- Senior Banquet out of the library paper. 0 The library now has passed the accession number 18,000. Keeping Well, by Louis Hansen, was the book that received that number. 0— Mildred Goulet visited her sister, Harriet, academy week-end. The Wyoming students gathered at the home of Professor and Mrs. T. R.

(Continued from page 3) Donald Jose von Pohle from Texas is a linguist of no mean ability. He fluently speaks English. French, Spanish, and Pig-latin. He is also a long distance swimmer, having the unusual record of having swum from one continent to another. Don has a special love for Dill pickles. • • Mary Esther Reeder from Kansas has risen to Clock Tower heights in Union. Her hobbies are reading Chaucer's Canterbury Tales and eat- ing cornbread and beans. She likes to ride bicycles and fly kites, too. * • Annabell Louise Rumpf from Illi- nois, formerly known as Archibald, can iron out any wrinkle with a roll- ing pin. She can give valuable in- formation on how to furnish a house on a budget of $1,000 per month. Future work? Just what kind of work would you expect a Home Economics major to excel In? * * Victor Warren Swayze from New Mexico has become very proficient in that rare art of wiggling his ears. He is extremely careful in little things such as doctoring warts. He devotes much of his time to his picture gallery, which shows highly specialized taste. Elizabeth Lauretta Townsend from Minnesota is of Irish descent. She was born in the twentieth century, and is the night librarian of Un ()- college.
