XVI LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1940 NUMBER 8 Classes Hold Parties New Utility Barn On Open Night � Now Completed Christmas, Winter, and Nautical Themes Used Evangelistic Meeting Eighteen Music Pupils In Boulder Attended Perform In Recital By Men From Here Parties and more parties is just about the sum of the entertainment provided the night of December 7, when all the classes and one of the industries enter- tained themselves. Since the seniors are supposed to be dignified, and since dignity becomes a college student, that species of the gen- era -party- will be reported on first. The senior party was formal, and a formal setting was created in the music studio with the help of glittering "snow- covered" bushes and icicles against a white background of white ceiling. High- lights on the program included Professor Quiz (Merrill Thayer), Adventures at the North Pole (sounded as if he meant North hall), given by Raymond Meru/la —excuse me, I mean Floyd Byers; en- semble music by Hulda Weng, Jeanne Griffin, and Walter Mazart; table games, and a buffet supper. The juniors entertained "one floor down and across the seas.- One hardly recog- nized the good ship "Junior Joy" as the speech room. On all the walls were port- holes and anchors, and there was an upper deck with a rail (just in case anyone became seasick or homesick). The "Junior Joy" stopped at many ports on that night's voyage. Most entertain- ing part of the evening were the char- acters who were waiting in each port. Hitler, alias William Grotheer, gave a most invigorating speech (he almost fell off the table); a very patriotic soul (Continued on page 3) TEACHER ON FURLOUGH FROM INDIA VISITS HERE Mrs. Earl Gardner, '38, together with her three-year-old daughter, Gwendoline, visited Union college from November 25 to December 4, enroute to her fath- er's home in Dodge Center, Minnesota where she expects to spend the winter. Mrs. Gardner is on furlough from her missionary duties at Spicer college in India. At the regular K. D. L. club meeting on December 3, Mrs. Gardner pointed out to the girls many reasons why America is not the only place where people dress correctly. She told the club about many of the styles and customs of dress in India. "Styles," she said, ''are not correct in other countries just because they are from America. Always inquire as to others' customs when vis- iting or traveling in lather countries." Among the articles which Mrs. Gar- dner exhibited during her visit in Lin- coln were oriental rugs, chests, and scarfs; many precious jewels; vases; and clothes from India. Mrs. Gardner ex- pects to be in Lincoln again during the early spring.

Situated a few yards north and east of the main dairy building and lying north and south longitudinally, this barn is a symmetrical, strongly-built struc- ture forty by sixty-four feet in dimen- sion. Its outside walls are sided with standard quality drop-siding, and its hip roof is of red cedar shingles. There are windows sufficient to light the interior without excess draught leakage. The doors also are of adequate size, and are well-built and conveniently placed. 1 he interior has three main divisions. On the ground level the space is equally divided by a solid partition down its length. I he west half is entered through a door wide enough to adm.t a large farm implement or two learns abreast. The main portion of the west half will 'be devoted to machine storage and shop space. Box stalls for four horses have been built in the south end of this space, with access through a small door in the south end. The east half is divided to serve three purposes. Against the center partition and along its entire length is a row of calf stalls. In the southeast corner are three large box stalls provided with stanchions for cows. In the northeast corner are four pens connected with a (Continued on page 2) December 10, 1940 My dear Horace: If they had decided to have General Conference a week earlier, perhaps yoi; would not have to have any Christmas vacation. Since you wrote of the won- derful time you had Thanksgiving, I am almost afraid you are planning to stay there Christmas, too. That, Horace, would break your grandmother's heart. I know you would find many enjoy- able things to do—especially since the upper division KDL supplied the spread room with new furniture, and there are doubtless girls there who are good cooks and who are intelligent enough to en- joy your company. However, you really need the softening influence of our own home, the fireside chats (with your grandmother, not your president), and those delectable buckwheat cakes I know how to make. Hasten home, dear. Spare no expense. Take a streetcar to the city limits if you wish. We'll be looking for you. However, if you really can't tear your- self away—I imagine working at a lino- type rather grows on one, especially when he expects that feat to put him ihro Igh school—let me know. I'll un- derstand. And I'll send you a package so heavy the 'postmaster will think it's a time bomb. Horace, thank your lucky stars you're a freshman! If you can some way--by honorable methods, of course—manage never to become an upperclassman, you will save yourself untold agonies. Why, you probably would have to spend your entire vacation pouring over huge sneezy dusty volumds and tall stacks of cards, and tearing your hair for lack of any more brilliant ideas. Term 'papers, they call them. You would be forced to be- come acquainted with Campbell and his idiosyncrasies. You would learn the form for footnotes: two spaces down, author, colon, title, period, publisher, date, page—or was it three spaces, capi- tal, author, colon, title, semi-colon, pub- lisher, date—? Bibliography struggle is the same only worse. The frequently repeated trials of term papers, Horace, is what discouraged me from becoming famous.

December 16, 1940 Dear Grandmother: After I had such a lovely time stay- ing here over Thanksgiving, I decided that I had better remain for Christmas Students of Prof. C. C. Engel, Mrs. H. C. Hartman. Miss Estelle Kiehnhoff, and Mr. Perry Beach were presented in a recital in the chapel the evening of December 14. The program was as follows: Valse Aarabesque, Op. 83, by Lack —Blosson Church and Shirley Boyer; Ich Grolle Nicht, by Schumann- -Herbei t Hohensee; Impromptu, Op. 29, by Chop- in—Evelyn Roll; Willow Echoes, b/ Simon—Genevieve McWilliams; Lento, by Scott—Evelyn Roll; Concerto in D Major, Op. 213, by Mendelssohn — Hulda Weng; Valse in E Minor, by Chopin—Vivian Meyers; None but the Lonely Heart, by Tschaikowsky—Bonnie Bowman; Allegro, by Haydn—Mercedes Bernal; Capricietta, by Haydn —Stella Martin; Caprice Viennois, by Kreisler— Eleanor Cowles; The Trumpeter, by I Dix—James Stevens; March of the Dwarfs, by Grieg --Lucille Mitchell; My Lovely Celia, by Munro--June Layman- Herr; Girl with the Flaxen Hair, by Debussy � Florence Adams; Southern C.oss, by Clark — Norman Krogstad; Witches' Dance, by MacDowell—Grace Burke; Ballade in A Flat, by Chopin— Morine Davis. S. J. Lashier, Secretary-treasurer for the Central Union conference, spoke in chapel, Monday, December 9. He de- scribed the organization of the Seventh- day Adventist church and told about its budget and the distribution of tithe and mission funds. He emphasized the fact that the denomination is well organized in order that it may efficiently carry out the Gospel commission. vacation also. They say the students here have a wonderful time during the Christmas holidays — skating, eating, sleeping, reading and having a fine time generally. However, I have serious rea- sons also for remaining, Grandmother. To begin with, I have three sixteen- hundred-word papers to write for Fresh- man Composition, and they had better be good, because the last one I wrote, called: "Charles Lamb, the Gentle Gen- ius" only received a B. I do not think the reader likes the way I comb my hair, Grandma. By the way, Grandma, I went to the junior party last Saturday night. For a freshman, it was a rare privilege in- deed. At the party, Mr. Kicenske exhibited Oscar, his trained flea, Grandma. But in the excitement Oscar got lost (he was lost on a Hallowe'en hike two years ago also) and Mr. Kicenske found him on the head of Mr. Bill Taylor, the juniors' treasurer. The joke is on Mr. Kicenske, however, because I brought Oscar home with me. I wonder if he has missed him yet. I know that after hearing all this you will be especially anxious to have me at home, Grandmother. But I am just afraid that Oscar and I had better re- main in South hall. I know you would give me a lovely time at home—I remember those raisin cookies you used to make and that gorgeous fudge. Can you still make them, Grandma? It is not a good thing to get out of 'practice on these things. You may lose the art completely. Too, I get awfully hungry between meals. I'm afraid I won't get to work on the linotype during vacation, Granny dear. They said I might use the one farthest south; it is complete except for a chair to sit in, and I can't operate the machine standing up, so what can I do? Mr. Krauss says, however, that I am very good at things like emptying the pencil sharpener and opening and clos- ing the windows. So you see your grandson didn't turn out so badly after all. Merry Christmas, Granny dear. Affectionately, Horace. Explorer McMillan To Lecture Here Will Show Pictures and Tell of His Adventures Commander Donald B. MacMillan. a leading polar explorer, whose expedi- tions into the Arctic and the Antarctic regions rank in importance with those of Rear Admiral Robert E. Peary and Commander Richard E. Byrd, will ap- pear here January I 1, 1941 as the sec- ond feature on the college lyceum course. He will show motion pictures, and will accompany them with a story of some of his adventures in explora- tion. Commander MacMillan, first to dis- prove Peary's theory that there was a new and completely unexplored area in the Arctic, organized and led the Crock- er Land expedition in 1913. With a few of his party he remained in North Green- land four years until rescued in 1917. Immediately upon his return to civ- ilization, the explorer enlisted for ser- vice in the U. S. Navy. When the war was over he made plans for his Baffin Land expedition. In 1921 the schooner "Bowdoin" was constructed especially for his voyages to the Arctic and sailed on her maiden trip up through the Fox channel. In 1925, in conjunction with a unit of the U. S. Navy under the leadership of Commander Richard E. Byrd, MacMil- lan took north the first expedition to use planes. This has been followed by other voyages to North Greenland, Labrador. and Iceland. During the past several years Com- mander MacMillan has taken along on his summer expeditions to the Arctic aboard the "Bowdoin" a small and care- fully selected group of college and pre- paratory school students who are spec- ializing in science and Polar explora- tion. These trips, averaging about 6000 miles each, carry the party up into Lab- rador and Greenland, and make pos- (Continued on page 3) Colporteur Conference To Be in Colorado A convention designed to give men and women a training in the principles of Gospel salesmanship will be held at Boulder, Colorado, January 9-19. J. M. Jackson, Secretary for the Central Union Publishing department, will be in charge. Others who will assist are R. A. Bowles, Manager for the Omaha branch of the Pacific Press; L. A. Vixie, Secretary for the Northern European division, and the state conference presidents and sec- retaries of the Central Union. Among the topics to be considered will be the following: The colporteur, called of God. The colporteur as a soul winner. Gospel salesmanship — a dignified calling. Elements of Sale. Modern application of tested prin- ciple. Prayer and Personal Improvement. Curriculum Changes Except for a few courses, the cur- riculum for the college for the second semester will be as set forth in the cal- endar. Advanced Educational Psychol- ogy, which was to have been given first semester, will be offered second semester. General Secondary Methods will be taught again second semester. Registration for second semester will begin January 1 and continue through January 10. Examinations for the first semester will be given January 12 to 17. Entrance examinations for freshmen en- tering the second semester will be given January 15 to 17. Second semester classes will begin January 20. Work on the 1941-42 calendar has already begun, and it is the plan of the faculty to have it published before the close of this school year.

Holiday Musings Christmas vacation is drawing near, and with it come memories, anticipation, pleasant surprises, headaches, excitement, and all the rest of the sensations usually produced by this merriest of vacations. Christmas is essentially a jolly time. If you don't think so, come around about 11:45 or 12:00 December 18 and you'll be convinced. Everyone is supposed to have fun and everybody does. But—Ithere's a more serious side to everything, even Christmas vacation. You who are going home, remember that you are repre- senting your college with its ideals, its high standards. You are a part of this institution yourself. Don't do things that will dishonor all these. Remember the sensible eating, sleeping, and safety habits you have learned. Holidays invariably bring accidents. Let's not have any to mar our pleasant respite from studies, books, classrooms, blinks, rising bells, etc. Perhaps you have studying or outside reading to do during vaca- tion. In fact, you've just been saving it for those long, empty days when there's nothing else to do. Well, don't forget it. Those -long, empty days- can be surprisingly full sometimes, and that book for Social Relations, biology, history, or what have you, can stay com- placently in the bottom of your suitcase, never bothering your con- science until .you are packing up to return to college. Then you realize with a sinking heart you are still fifteen hours behind, and there is no long vacation ahead. Or is it a term paper to be written, or sewing to be done? So remember, use your time. Vacation is long—twelve days, but even long things pass, sometimes all too quickly. • Another 'thing to remember, — you who leave college for your vacation, remember us who stay because it's too far to go home, or because we have so much studying to do, or because any of fifty-'leven other reasons. Wish us a "Merry Christmas," for we want one too, and we'll have one, even though we may be spending our Christmas with our home folks by mail or mental telepathy.

Just to prove I'm real, I asked Miss Hartzell to draw my picture. (You A rceoualri szee, that off don't wear my night cap and other � night clothes � to classes. And when I'm on the job I'm too elusive to be seen, so you'll have to content yourselves with admiring my silhouette on the printed page.) Remarkable how many interesting facts one discovers when he is alert. Now, I'm just new on the campus, but I've discovered many many things. For instance, the big brick smokestack at the powerhouse is square, nut round. The college owns three trucks, four, counting, the laundry delivery car. The library 'building has the year 1937 cut in the stone above the main entrance. Although the tables in the reference and reading rooms in the library are only six or seven months old, there is already a deep, pencilled groove in the surface of one of them. (I was glad it wasn't initials I found. Probably the 1940 style of carving doesn't run to initials.) Also, I've discovered that chapel pro- grams are interesting in direct propor- tion to the attention I give them. The same holds true for class lectures and discussions. Many times I've thought to myself, -Just what if you had been doz- ing when that was said? Wouldn't you have missed a valuable illustration?" I've been up in the music hall and listened to all the din around me. How could it be anything but confusion when about eight people are practising full speed on eight different musical compo- sitions? Wonderful, though, how ad- mirable are the single performances of students who toil away on their music. Vacation Preview Date—Wednesday, December 18, 1940 Place—Union College Time-12:15 P. M. The bell dismissing the last class rings and vacation begins. Scurrying feet rush to rooms, dinner, or cars, as previously laid plans dictate. Excited, shrill voices call last-minute advice, instructions, and addresses to everyone in general. All morning the pre-vacation unrest has prevailed throughout classes as thoughts of belated preparation flit through the students' minds. For weeks they have anticipated plans for sliding, skating, and partying to occupy the ensuing twelve days. Not even the be- fore-vacation tests that were sure to come could dim those rosy day-dreams. Probably for conscience's sake, tucked away in the bottom of a suitcase is a "Lit" or history book, or cards from which a term paper will eventually be written; and in the students' minds, high resolutions to accomplish much during vacation. Chances are good that, had the books taken along been sealed, on December 30, they still would remain untouched, having been forgotten in the midst of the seasonal revelry. At least inten- tions are good, and the day of formal resolutions comes two days after vaca- tion ends. After the first pangs of homesickness and lonesomeness subside for those who for various reasons remain here, they will not find themselves idle. Those who stay always have an enjoyable time, with a possible taffy pull, skating and sleigh-riding—to say nothing of work. Now and then, perhaps, the memory of that unfinished correspondence course begun last summer, that belated topic in history, and various other duties will prick the conscience momentarily, only to be overwhelmed with vacation ac- tivities. � —By Mildred Page U.

Brothers and Sisters In continuing the introduction of Union's many brothers and sisters, we must mention Francis and Harold Wer- nick of Lake City, Iowa, who were un- intentionally omitted from the previous story. Coming down into Kansas, we find that Fara and Phyllis Follett head the list alphabetically, Fara being a sopho- more and Phyllis a freshman. They are from Liberal. Coming from Timken are Virginia Huenergardt, a junior, and brother, La Verne, a sophomore. The Schmidt sisters, Ella and Viola, of Otis, are both freshmen. Representing Colony are Helen and Ed Seitz. Helen is a freshman and Ed, a senior. And from Durham come Ruth and Elmer Wase- miller, who are freshman and junior re- spectively. A two-sister-brother group consists of Anna, Esther, and Oscar Torkelson of Everest. All three are freshmen. However, Anna has previous- ly attended here during the summer. North Dakota has also a unique fam- ily relationship here. Gackle sends Ar- thur Heinrich, freshman, cousin of Oscar, sophomore. and Emmanuel Heinrich, sophomore, who are brothers. Erwin and Reuben Remboldt, cousins from Gadde, sophomore and freshman, are also cousins to the Heinrichs. (Just try to straighten it out.) The three Hein- richs and Erwin have previously at- tended Jamestown college, North Da- kota, while Emmanuel and Reuben Rem- boldt have studied at San Jose, Cali- fornia. Having taken work at the Teachers' college in North Dakota, Eileen Enge- berg is a sophomore. Her brother, Floyd, is a freshman here. Their home is in Kenmore. The senior class is repre- sented in the set-up from North Dakota by Ted Herr, of MuClusky, whose cous- in, Ernest, is a sophomore, and Melvin Wahl, whose sister Wilma is a fresh- man. They too, reside at McClusky. Gideon, Ruth, and Harry Haas of Cleveland, are another trio. Ruth is in her first year, Gideon, his second, and Harry is a fulltime worker on the col- lege farm. Last, but not necessarily least, are Ella and Gordon Schlenker, Good- rich. Ella is a sophomore, and Gordon, a freshman. (To be concluded) Antarctic Vagabond By WILLIAM TAYLOR Could you see an envious look in the eyes of the students and even of faculty members as Raymond Mercola told about going on Byrd's expedition to the South pole? His report of his ad- ventures held the attention of everyone in the chapel that morning of Decem- ber 16. When school was over in Chicago the summer of 1924, and he was 13, Ray- mond Mercola went on his first adven- ture, auto-hiking to Florida and work- ing his way on a bcat to Havana, Cuba. The following summer the urge to travel was on him once more. He saw New York City, Cuba, and Mexcio that time. Then going to New York, and going on from there, at the close of school be- came a regular custom with him. The extreme beauty of the harbor at Rio de Janeiro gave him a thrill when he saw SONG OF SCHOOL-DAZE With brain cells weary and worn With eyelids weary and red, A student sat in a scholarly pose, Raising his thoughts from the dead. Think! Think! Think! In anxiety, terror and haste: And still, with a voice of dolorous pitch He sang—which is sometimes bad taste: Cram! Cram! Cram! Till the brain begins to swim, And cram—cram—cram, Till the eyes are heavy and dim. Theme and problem and theme, Date and problem and theme, Till over equations I fall asleep, And work them out in a dream. Cram! Cram! Cram! In the dull December light, And cram—cram—cram, When the weather is warm and bright: While in and out my door The brilliant fellows duck. As if to show me their unconcern And twit me with their luck. Oh, but for one brief hour! A respite, however brief, No blessed leisure for love and stuff But only time for grief. A little strolling would ease my heart, But in my dreary mind My thoughts must balk, for every walk Hinders schooling, I find. With brain cells weary and worn. With eyelids heavy and red, A student sat in unscholarly pose, Scratching his bony head. Think! Think! Think! In exhaustion, stupor and haze, And still in a voice of dolorous tone— Would that these teachers would leave me alone— ! sang "The Song of School-Daze." —R Curtis Barger John R. Sampson John R. Sampson, father of Miss Dorothy Sampson, head of the prenursing department of Union college, passed away November 21, at his home in Takoma Park, Maryland, after an ill- ness of three months. Mr. Sampson had been manager of the woodworking shop at Washington Missionary college for a number of years. Alumni Returns To U. S. from China According to a recent letter received by Mr. H. C. Hartman, business man- ager of the college, his sister, Mrs. J. E. Frick, arrived from China on the ship "Washington," which docked at San Francisco. With her husband Mrs. Frick had been serving in China for five years. She reported that fifty-three other wo- men and children, missionary families of the Seventh-day Adventist denomina- tion, were on the same ship. The min- isters are staying at their work in China as long as is possible. Mrs. Frick, the former Viola Hart- man, attended Union college about fif- teen years ago. She may visit the Hart- mans after the holidays. Convention . . . (Continued from page 1) to attend all ar part of the Evangelistic convention include Mr. J. W.

The lazy life of the South Sea islanders fac- cinated him, also. From his trips in Cuba, Mexico, and South America the boy gained a knowledge of Spanish. Raymond was one of 10,000 men who wanted to go with Byrd to the South pole. The summer of 1929, penniless, he started out in an attempt to join the ex- pedition. First he went to New York city, then down through the Panama canal around to Seattle.

Clarement, Cape South Africa September 22 Dear Brother Anderson: Your good letter of June 17 has just reached me as I am camped out in the bush twenty-five miles southwest of Broken Hill, Northern Rhodesia. . I have now completed my Harvest Ingathering work, and the Lord gave me 315 pounds and 4 shillings. I thank Him for this success. While the people here are giving this year their thous- ands for the war they are also more than willing to help out the needy and suffering, for we use all of the Harvest Ingathering money in caring for the lepers, the poor, and the needy. and in the education of their children. I had charge of the work in Angola from the very start until seven years ago, when I left that field for America on my fifth furlough after seven years of service each time. Now next April I will have completed another seven years, but I have asked the committee to let me stay on and complete the half century, which is only four more years. Then I think I will be willing to quit and leave Africa for good. Our work in Angola has more than doubled since I left there seven years ago last March. At the Bongo training school they now have 233 young men and women in training for the Master's service in their awn land. . . . Last April before the opening of the school they sent out word that they could take only sixty girls into the dormitory. That was all they had room for. When school opened seventy-nine came in for school. They were told there was no food for them, but the said, "We will get that; we are staying and going. to school." And there they are. You cannot drive them away. . . When we held the camp meeting at the mission this year there were more than 1200 in attendance. One hundred and two were baptized, and 162 joined the class preparing for baptism. They gave their hearts to God for the first time in their lives.

Gaines of skill, such as throwing darts at bal- loons, knocking over kegs, throwing discs into slots, throwing darts, balls into cans, and shooting at an electric eye gave everyone the opportunity to test his energy and accuracy. A radio broadcast took the guests behind the scenes (all the control room and studio were in plain sight). The broadcast included a reading by Mr. R. J. DeVice; a reading by Victor Lum- per; the Hein-Boldt quartet, composed of Oscar and Pete Heinrich and Erwin and Reuben Remboldt: an accordian number by Bill Winter; a violin solo by Deward Miller. Another main event was a play-by-play description, called by Victor Lumper, of the assembling of a chest of drawers. CHRISTMAS CARDS CANDIES BOX PERFUME BOX Everett Pharmacy .% • _ It 4.11A.

(Martin Bird) who booed the speaker was carried out and later returned swathed in many bandages after a cus- toms officer (Fabian Meier) performed ais duty. President Roosevelt (really William Taylor) made a speech between fishing trips, and in Arabia, or some place over there, a very kind lady (Mary Hind- marsh) caused many a blush when she insisted on telling the past, present, and future deeds of some of the ship's pas- sengers. The juniors had tasty refresh- ments. I almost forgot to mention that Primer° Rinero (Herman Kicenske) sponsored a special appearance (and dis- appearance) of his imaginary pet flea, Oscar. A really old-fashioned Christmas party was given by the sophomores in the North hall assembly room. The extra super-special feature of the evening was a quiz program conducted by Francis Wernick. Jim Stevens and Jack Hol- man sang a duet, Frances Reiswig played a piano solo, and Arlene Egger gave a reading. All the sophomores re- port that they -really had a good time." Reverting to former years, the Fresh- man II class entertained at the firemen s hall with a -kid- party. Prizes were given to those who portrayed best how they looked at the age of six. Winners were Max Eckert, Chester Wahlen, Hazel Hagen. and Morine Davis. Child- hood games were played, and Santa Claus visited the hall. Nobody seemed to know just who he really was (between you and me, I think it was Elwin Dick). The first-year freshmen really sur- prised everyone when they gave a "grown-up" party.

Kappa Theta members showed South hall men how North hall worship is conducted, then gave a pro- gram. Ruth Ann Trygg read the Scrip- ture and offered prayer. Wanda Sat- urley reported on the activities of Kappa i beta. Margie Miller gave a talk on tie North hall women's opinion of South hail men. A string trio, Hulda Weng, Stella Martin, and Genevieve Roth, played two numbers; and Irlys Judd gave two readings. A quartet composed of Violet Hanson, Ellen Priest, Helen sei,z, and Lois Brown, accompanied by Hazel Hagen, sang -1 he World Is Waiting for the Sunrise." Sigma Iota Kappa's program for North hall women was as follows: Singing led by Charles Lickey. Scrip- ture reading by Ed Seitz. Prayer by Ben Nelson. Trombone duet by Glenn Rice and Ernest Herr. A talk by Har- old Roll on "Johnny's Ideal Girl.- Serenade in F," sung by Jim Stevens. A reading, "Dr. Crane's Essay on Keep- ing Your Mouth Shut," given by Jack Holman. Recently the division of Diversional Activities of Sigma Iota Kappa pre- sented to the men's club Mr .Emerson C. Smith, advertising manager of Ben Sim- on and Son, one of the 'Lincoln depart- ment stores. Salesmanship was the theme of his talk. Members of Phi Beta Kappa en- tertained in lower division KDL Decem- ber 3. Genevieve McWilliams played a trumpet solo. Arleen Egger gave a reading, and Jula Joan Rowland sang.

The loft space will be utilized for storing broom corn, at least in the im- mediate future. This room is very spa- cious, the close-trussed hip roof allowing a great deal of room vertically. The whole building has been wired for elec- tric lighting. Concrete floors will be run in when good weather arrives next spring, it is expected. This barn, says farm manager Stout, will fill a long-felt need which was be- coming more acute as cold weather came on. Adequate housing had not been available for the farm horses and for the calves of the dairy herd, but this build- ing will take care of the situation very nicely, he says.

These bands meet alternately every Friday evening at 6:45 in room 201. The Ministerial seminar conducts meetings somewhat atter the order of public evangelistic efforts. Each night two speakers deliver short sermons on doctrinal subjects. Members of the Semi- nar are given cards on which they make notations regarding the speakers. The results of these cards are tabulated and given to each speaker for his en- couragement and improvement. The mission band is divided into groups, each of which makes a special study of the field in which the mem- bers are interested. It was at Union col- lege, years ago, that the first Seventh- day Adventist college mission band was organized. Officers of the various divisions of the Foreign Missions band, as elected November 22 are as follows: India and Burma group: Morris Low- ry, leader; Bonita Dick, assistant leader; Sue Russell, secretary. Africa: James Chase. leader; Eva Hallock, assistant leader; Violet Hanson, secretary. South America: Carl Watts, leader; Vivian Meyers, assistant leader; Marie Sanders, secretary. Island group: Neil Rowland, leader; Wilmer Unterseher, assistant lead- er; Marcedene Wood, secretary. Far Eastern group: Maynard Pitchford, lead- er; and Edward Koenig, secretary. The officers of the entire band are Perry Green, leader; Virginia Huener- gardt, assistant leader; Rosa Lee Has- senpflug, secretary; Stephen Youngberg, assistant secretary; Edmund Clifford, chorister; and Mrs. Bernal, pianist. Following is a list of some of the new books that have been added to the library: "Thumby," by Elva Babcock-Gardner, 'Learning to Live," by Lora E.

Covington, editor of the Cen- tral Union "Reaper," secretary in the Central union office, and author of the book, -They Also Served,- spoke in the young people's meeting, December 7, about her book, which is just off the press. Miss Covington declares she wrote the book after receiving a suggestion and inspiration a few years ago in Ten- nessee. While searching for material on the women pioneers of the Seventh- day Adventist denomination, she became exasperated at finding none and ques- tioned, "Why doesn't somebody write a story on the women of the denomina- tion as they have the men?" To this the librarian counterquestioned, "Why don't you?" From that has come this one-hundred ninety-page volume, sketching the lives and works of fifteen of the women who "pioneered with the pioneers" but who are Lc .ird about so little. Amt.”.:1 those sketched in this inter- esting book are Mrs. Maud Sisley Boyd, the "first lady," Mrs. L. Flora Plummet. Dr. Kate Lindsay, Eliza H. Morton, Worthie Harris Holden, Mrs. E. G. White, and Mrs. Anna E. Shepherd. L[RECREATION li A ping pong tournament sponsored by Sigma Iota Kappa was begun last week at the South hall recreation room. Singles matches were played off by Sunday. Doubles games will be played after Christmas vacation. The finalists, Harold Wernick and Ray Stewart, played an exhibition match of five games in the gymnasium 'between halves of the basketball game Saturday night. The official match, played Sunday morning, proved Harold Wernick the winner. Score for the five games was 13-21, 21-14, 21-14, 8-21, 21-19. You people who think the fairer sex have limited capabilities should think twice, or attend a women's basketball game. Both teams, the Blues and the Whites, fought hard and fast from beginning to end. By the end of the last quarter they looked fairly well played out. If it hadn't been for the added strength they got from chewing on lemons, I dare say most of them would have succumbed long before the last whistle blew. The Whites won by a score of 28-16, and Genevieve Carpenter was high point player. To You and Yours The Season's Greetings and our friendly wishes for a Prosperous New Year.
