The closing of the present school year will mark the completion of five years of service as President of York College for a man who has endeared himself to the stu dents because of his geniality, his friendliness, and his sympathetic understanding of their various problems. A t some colleges and universities the president is considered a cold and aloof personage. Moreover, many times that consideration is correct. A t York, such is not the situation. The students look upon the head of their college as one of them. They know him to be a man with a great heart. Small wonder, then, that he is affectionately referred to as “Prexy.” Though constantly under the weight of all the problems that have beset church colleges during the past years of economic stress, President Overmiller’s unflinching fortitude and unflagging confidence have been an inspiration to students, faculty and townspeople. A ll have learned a great lesson from his indomitable spirit. President Overmiller as an administrator has been equally successful. The college is indeed fortunate in having as its head a man who could steer such a safe course through such stormy and turbulent waters. His sound and sane judgment, coupled with liberal and progressive thought, has had not a little to do with the educational progress made by York College while reversals have been experienced in other fields. If esteem of one’s fellowmen could be converted into money, President Overmiller would be a wealthy man.

Tribute to the Faculty Books without personalities to make them live are valueless. As the year draws near its conclusion, each collegian cannot help appreciating the rich personalities of the professors who have made even the dullest textbooks sparkling and stimulating. T o be able to develop the mind and the body to their highest levels may be the objective of some instructors, but the faculty of York College have done more than that. They have also imparted moral and spiritual lessons along with the physical and mental lessons. Students who are about to leave the halls of York College— some for months, some for years, and some forever -realize that they have acquired not only knowledge but something even better,— a mastery of the fundamentals of the profession of know ing how to live. Association with these noble men and women has established a beau tiful relationship never to be forgotten. T o have been sharers of their knowledge, ideals, and aspirations has been an experience too sacred to profane by the idle use of mere words. T o the men and women who have made us better because of our contacts with them, we say, “All hail!”

Alumni Song Come, let us sing together A glad triumphant song T o our own Alma M ater W ith praises loud and long; The pansy is her emblem O f every tint and hue Her banner floating o'er us Is the Royal W hite and Blue.
Chorus The pansy is her emblem O f every tint and hue Her banner floating o’er us Is the Royal W hite and Blue. Her halls so high and lofty Give glory to her name; T he fight for greater wisdom Adds luster to her fame; W hen you grow sad and weary O f life and all else too; Just think of old York College And the Royal W hite and Blue.. W hen we have left to others The toils of college life And out upon life’s billows Have met with many a strife; And when with cares unnumbered, Our eyes are wet with dew, W e'll lift our voice in triumph For the Royal W hite and Blue.

College Song On the hill of the rising sun, Stands the college we hold so dear. Rooted deep is our loyalty; Grounded firm is our faith sincere. In our hearts will ever, ever be Blue and W hite a blessed memory. Through the years our voices raise in praise to thee, AH Hail! Hail! York! Looking down on the busy town Stands the college with aims so high; For the best in our work and sport W e are glad we can sound the cry. Ruby Carol Rickard

Student Council The Student Council, organised in 1928, is the most powerful student organisa tion of York College. Not only does it regulate all student activities, but provision has also been made for it to act, should occasion ever arise, as the mediator in mis understandings between the faculty and the student body. This year's work of the Council was noteworthy because that group clarified matters which had been under discussion for some time. Immediately after the open ing; of college the Council was called together by Tennis Hoffman, who had been elected president by a student vote in May, 1933. A t this meeting W illiam Hice was chosen vice-president, while Jack Graham was elected secretary-treasurer. The first project of the Council was the writing of a code of rules for the enforce ment of the freshman regulations. This code stated that each person not conforming to the regulations was to receive a “penalty” in proportion to his “crime.” The next major work was the cataloging o f the emblems o f campus organisations. For several years it had been recognised that a definite understanding was needed among college societies regarding the extent to which the insignia of one group might resemble that of another group. A fter all difficulties had been settled, each organisa tion's emblem was registered with the Student Council. A t the same time, a ruling was made saying that all organisations created after January 1, 1934, must receive the Council’s approbation of their emblems before they can be officially worn. Other questions arose during the year and each time the Council emphatically, yet fairly, declared itself to be the final arbiter of all intramural disputes. Because o f such a stand, the Council gained the respect of everyone connected with the activities of York College.

Faculty C ritic The first “Marathon” was published in 1917 by the junior class. It derived its name from the elm grove along the northern edge of the campus which was, and still is, known as Marathon Park. Because of the numerous conferences held in that park, the publication board of the first year book produced at York College decided to call its annual 'T he M arathon.” Each successive board with one exception has retained the same name for its book. Today all students would consider it a violation of tradi tion even to hint at a change of name for the annual. The members of the Marathon Board who present this book to their fellow stu dents have tried to make it the finest annual yet produced at York College. Having used the past annuals as stepping stones to the production of this book, they, in turn, have hoped that this work will serve only as the herald of a series of still more com mendable York College “Marathons.” iu-grejgjHj'&j-g/FJ'arejgjBJ c£jgjaj-g.r? n^r^r^r^rssa'ararai^ran=rr?j^HiWHra/BXEJErH/'arar[jmj^LrajrinHrBrErErpjajnrajaj^raraisj^

It was originally printed as a monthly magazine, but it was realised some years later that, due to an increasing number of activities, a new form for “The Sandburr” was needed. Consequently those in charge decided to have it issued as a fortnightly newspaper. T h at policy has been strictly adhered to ever since. *
This year the paper while it lived up to the high standards of the past, also had several innovations which were decided improvements in its appearance. One was a new type set up for headlines. The other was a new type set up and a new arrangement of the editorial page. Students who were in college this year already realize that “The Sandburr,” with ‘The M arathon,” will not fail to bring back pleasant memories of college days.

Young Women’s Christian Association The Y. W . C. A . attempts to strengthen a young woman’s usefulness in life by imparting a working knowledge of the principles of Christianity. In order to accom plish this purpose, a varied program of activities was presented this year. This pro gram was a stimulating and dynamic one which proved that Christianity can be vital and compelling. The first step taken by the Y. W . C. A . was on the opening day of the fall semester when each new girl on the campus (called a little sister) was assigned to some girl who had been in college before (called a big sister). The aim of this plan was to help the new co-eds to become acquainted as soon as possible. Then, as a gesture of friendliness, the association tendered a tea to all women on the campus. A t that time all non-members were given an opportunity to become affiliated with the association if they wished to do so. During the year meetings were held on every Tuesday morning. A t those meet ings subjects affecting the interests of young women were discussed. Sometimes stu dents presented the program. A t other times outside speakers were secured. A t all times, though, only the means which best advanced the cause of the organization were used. Making plans for the group was the duty of the cabinet. The young women on this cabinet were the nucleus of the association and were responsible for its progress. Meetings of the cabinet were held weekly and frequently joint meetings of a social and business nature were held with the Y. M . C. A . cabinet. The spring program was of such a nature that some part appealed to every college woman. Several salmagundis were held; a banquet complimentary to the new presi dent, Ruth Spore, and her officers was given; a women’s all-college tennis tournament was sponsored; and the annual M ay Day fete was presented. Th e work done by the Y . W . C. A . well attests its value.

Young Men’s Christian Association The Young M en's Christian Association offers to men of the College an oppor tunity to acquire a sound spiritual basis for their lives and at the same time to culti vate happy and lasting fellowships. In this organisation men with similar conceptions of ideals, character, and spiritual truths meet in a united effort for clean living. The ultimate goal of the group is a four-square development in the realm of mental, spirit ual, social, and physical life. In the weekly meetings programs of a common interest to all are presented. Association members often appear on the morning’s program and thus an opportunity is afforded to develop talent and leadership in the individual. Professional men have spoken several times at the meetings, adding not only variation to the programs, but also giving vocational and educational points as well. The social side of the organisation is not lacking in development. The water melon “feed,” held early in the first semester, helped old and new members to meet in an informal manner. Social meetings at the city Y . M . C. A . offered further oppor tunities for intimate acquaintance. The Y. M . C. A. was a co-sponsor of the allcollege Jolly-up held at the beginning of the first term in the gymnasium. Reciprocal entertainments in the form of picnics, dinners, contests and programs were enjoyed with the Y. W . C. A . cabinet and members during the year. The 1934 spring program of events included a varied number of activities. The sponsoring of an all-college men’s tennis tourney; plans for a representation at the Estes Park summer conference; completion of the furnishing of the men’s lounging room as a recreation and fellowship room for members of the association; and the presentation of the annual M ay Day fete, which was held M ay 18, in cooperation with the Y . W . C. A ., were outstanding undertakings of the organisation.

PALS Literary Society The PA LS Literary Society is one of the. oldest organisations on the campus. The present name, however, was not adopted until about 1914-15 when a contraction of the joint name, Philomathean-Amphictyon Literary Society seemed advisable. T he Philomathean Society for women and the Amphictvon for men had always had a joint organization and held regular joint meetings. For more than ten years all of the meetings have been joint. - Meetings are conducted on alternate Tuesdays in the P A L S ’ hall, and programs are arranged in conformity with the society’s purpose to stress forensic and parliamen tary exercises and to foster a democratic social spirit. T he reception early in the year was attended by a large number of members and other students. About twenty-five new members have been initiated during the course of the year. A number of social evenings have been enjoyed by the group, and the annual banquet and the picnic will close the year’s social program of 193 3-34. Splendid cooperation for the attainment of a common end was evinced during the entire year by the P A L S and Zeta organisations. Tw o joint meetings were held and were especially well attended. A debate, staged between teams of the two groups, proved their common interest in forensic accomplishments.

Zeta Literary Society The Zeta Literary Society, which meets on alternate Tuesday evenings, had its origin in 1914. It is an organization of students who are interested in the promotion of social culture, scholarship and refinement. The first semester’s program was opened with a reception for the faculty and non' members. As a result of this reception, the membership of the society was more than doubled. Attention was next centered on a series of programs dealing with the culture and accomplishments of the European nations. A t the close of the semester, the members voted to leave as a gift to the society a purple velvet banner on which was the word “Zeta” in gold. Previously in the semester, purple and gold had been made the group’s official colors. The general theme for the second semester’s meetings was “Dominant influences in contemporary American life.” Among the influences discussed were the negro, religion, leisure time, music and the fine arts, and economics. During this semester many forward steps were taken by the society. The emblem shown above became the official pin; a joint code was formulated with the P A L S Literary Society; and the society’s constitution was revised. The social side was never overlooked while the above work was being accomplished. Several parties were given which have since been included among the year’s outstanding college social events.

Alpha Sigma Phi W ithin the past few years, forensic work has emerged from comparative insignificance to a place of undisputed prominence on the campus. The first attempt to organize those interested in forensic work was in the spring of 1930 when the Forensic Club was created. The members of this club injected new life into debate and oratory. A week’s debate tour of Kansas was made in February, 1933. Entries in the state ora torical and extemporaneous speaking contests of the Nebraska Intercollegiate Forensic Association were also regularly made. As a result several honors have been won by York contestants. During the past year alone, Marian Hill won second place in the W om en’s Oratorical contest, while W illiam Hice won third place in the Old Line Oratorical contest. Because the Forensic Club, during its short period of existence had made an envi' able record for itself, its officers decided to try to have it become affiliated with Alpha Sigma Phi, national honorary forensic fraternity. This was in the spring of 1933. A petition for membership was sent in and in December word was received that that petition had been accepted. By this action the Forensic Club passed out of existence and taking its place was the Theta Chapter of Alpha Sigma Phi. The charter mem bers of the local chapter were: W illiam Hice, Jack Graham, Russel Lewis, Raymond W ochner, Rodney W hittemore, Theran Maxson, Dean Kimball, Frances Kimball, Evelyn Dixon, Teresa Lou Connely, Miss Alma Tress Lundman and Professor J. C. Morgan. The introduction of the Theta chapter of Alpha Sigma Phi was important from two standpoints. First, this was the first time York College had ever had a chapter of an honorary fraternity of a national scope, and second, the honor bestowed upon the school showed clearly that the forensic work of York College had been noteworthy enough to gain its admission into this fraternity which counts among its chapters col leges and universities in Ohio, W est Virginia, Indiana, Florida, and Tennessee.

Debate W ith eight lettermen and a wealth of new material present when the 1934 debate season drew near, prospects for a championship team were brighter than they had been for some years. Before long, however, several students found it necessary to give up their debate work. This process of elimination continued until only two lettermen and four noivlettermen were left who were doing intensive work upon the subject. The national Pi Kappa Delta question was used as the basis for all debates between the members of the Nebraska Intercollegiate Forensic Association. Prior to the opening of the intercollegiate debating season, Professor J. C. Morgan and Miss Alma Tress Lundman, the coaches, arranged an intramural debating program consisting of the annual Y. M . C. A .'Y . W . C. A. and the Zeta-PA LS debates as well as a series of round-robin debates among the local group. From these contests the members of the various teams for the season were selected. T he A team consisted of W illiam Hice, three year letterman, and Irvin Lewis, freshman. The B1 team members were Russel Lewis, three year letterman, and Levi Johnson, sophomore. Marvin Hess and Robert Hawley, the B2 team, were freshmen. The intercollegiate season was opened with a triangular debate with Nebraska Central College with the A team emerging with a 3-0 victory. The next feature on the debate calendar was the state debate tournament at Hastings College. A total of eleven Nebraska colleges was entered in this tournament. York’s A team won deci' sions from the A teams of Dana College, Omaha Municipal University, and Doane College. In the B tournament, the York B1 team defeated the Hastings College B l, the Nebraska Wesleyan University B2, and the York B2 teams. T he York B2 team, or freshman team as it was dubbed at the tournament, also won a victory over the Nebraska W esleyan University B2 team. T he 1934 debate season ended with the conclusion of the tournament and while the number of victories was not large, each debater felt that he had learned much that he could apply to his other fields of endeavor.

Panther Club A characteristic of all college life is the enthusiasm and spirit prevalent individually and collectively in the student body. W ithout these qualities, campus life would assume a colorless, monotonous aspect. “Pep" is a leading and necessary factor in all undertakings; as a spark can be fanned into a flaming torch that lights the way to success, so can an ember of spirit be whipped into the enthusiasm that lends savor to college life. That is the purpose of the Panther Club— to create, to boost, and to lead the spirit of York College. One of the most successful channels for the promulgation of spirit was the spontaneous and original “pep chapels” sponsored by this group. A t the approach of intercollegiate contests, the student body found the Panther Club a ready nucleus for the creation of this stimulant so necessary in all competition. An outstanding accomplishment of the Panther Club was the organization of a group which later developed into the College band. It first functioned during the football season as a “pep band” at chapel and at games. W hen basketball took the spot-light, the band was organized into a uniformed drill team which functioned at varsity games. Later, as more musicians joined the group, it became officially known as the College band and was sponsored by Prof. Chris Keim. Since the organization of the Panther Club in 1926, it has annually supervised the banquet honoring the football men. The 1933 banquet was outstanding both in attendance and in originality. A Panther Sweetheart and a representative football man were chosen by the team. Much interest was added to the occasion when at the banquet the two honored persons were called upon to give toasts and their identity was made known. It was a revival of a discontinued custom, and was this year a feature of the football banquet worthy of becoming a tradition at York College.

The Art Department M an may express his aesthetic sense through music, dramatics or art. York College has realised that this aesthetic sense must be concomitantly developed with the otheraspects of an individual’s life. Therefore, the art department is given its due emphasis by those in charge of the curriculum of the institution. The art department is composed to teaching it, those who plan to make are taking it as one of their electives. a great amount of work is accomplished ment is always marked.

Not only do the students in the department enjoy their classroomassociations but they also plan a number of social affairs which draw them together in a more informal manner. In the fall, soon after college had opened, those persons enrolled for art had a picnic in a favorite grove bordering the banks of a creek near York. This picnic, as it was the department’s first social affair of the year, helped the students to become better acquainted with each other and instilled in them a desire to have more such gatherings. But the major work of the department is not to develop the student’s social life. Its true purpose is to foster an appreciation of the work of others and to develop, at the same time, the student’s own ability to express himself. To show this development, Mrs. Giauque always holds an art exhibit which is a part of the commencement week program. These yearly art exhibits have always commanded the attention of students, faculty and townspeople. Because of this, and because art is constantly coming to play a greater role in this community, this year’s art exhibit should establish a new alltime attendance record.

Life Work Recruits The Life W ork Recruits are a group of students interested not only in develop ing spiritual life to the fullest extent, but also in stimulating religious attitudes on the campus. To carry out such a purpose, members of the organisation, during the past year, sponsored a varied program of activities which has touched to some degree, all stu dents of the institution. W hen Bishop Ira D. W arner of the Pacific Coast area spoke on the spiritual relationships of God and man at a series of college convocations and church meetings, it was the Life W ork Recruits who were always ready to assist Bishop W arner in his meetings. The spiritual influence of the Recruits was not confined to campus life only, but was also expanded into broader fields. Through their efforts gospel teams, composed of Recruit members and other interested students, were formed. The teams presented varied programs and their many appearances were events of mutual benefit both to the congregations before whom they appeared and to the individuals who participated. Every organisation has certain financial obligations which arise from its activi ties. The Life W ork Recruits, together with the other religious organisations, partially rnet their obligations by bringing several entertainments to the campus. The first program was an electrical exhibition by Glenn L. Morris. Th e second program was the presentation of an illustrated lecture of the Byrd A ntarctic Expedition by one of its members, Charles E. Lofgren. The regular meetings of the Recruits held each Monday evening at the Con servatory offered an opportunity for worship as well as for the transaction of the organisation’s official business. They were characterised by programs which brought words of advice from men competent to speak concerning Christian work.

On the evening of November 10, the Histrionic Club opened its 1933-1934 season by presenting Arthur Goodrich’s three-act comedy, “So This Is London,” in the high school auditorium. This play was also the initial event for the annual home coming activities. The plot of “So This Is London” concerned a typical American and a likewise typical English family who would have nothing to do with each other. Hiram Draper, Jr., son of a rich American shoe manufacturer, had become engaged to Elinor Beauchamp, daughter of Sir Percy Beauchamp, an English manufacturer of shoes. This engagement threw both families into consternation when they learned of it. Hiram Draper imagined that all Englishmen are a ludicrous set of haw-hawing nincompoops, while Sir Percy was convinced that all Americans are gum and robacco-chewing mon strosities. In the end, however, all uncomplimentary opinions were abandoned, the engagement was sanctioned, and the two rival shoe factories were merged.

As its second major project of the 1933-1934 season, the Histrionic Club presented a series of three plays in the College Auditorium on the evening of December 15. The first play was “Two Aunts and a Photo,” a one-act comedy by Maisie B. W hiting. A one-act allegory by Norman Balch entitled “In the Fire’s Shadow” was the second offering, while a two-act comedy-drama, “Captain Joe” by Alice Gerstenberg, con cluded the evening’s entertainment. On January 17 these same plays were presented in Utica at the invitation of the Utica High School.

United Brethren Church Choir W ith the founding of York College, it was naturally inevitable that that institu tion and the local United Brethren church would be mutually advantageous to each other. Both faculty members and students have given unstintingly of their time and talents in order that the York United Brethren church choir might be an outstanding musical organization. The choir of the school year of 1933-1934 was, as it has been for the past num ber of years, under the efficient direction of Dean Charles Amadon. Ably assisting him as organist was Miss Eda Rankin, also of Hulitt Conservatory. A fter taking several weeks to organize the choir following the opening o f college, Dean Amadon had that body and some o f its members present for the regular services of the church many o f the finest sacred compositions written. The next project undertaken was the presentation of several musical vesper services which were well attended. Then in December the choir presented an afternoon concert which consisted o f the best known arias, recitatives and choruses of Handel’s great oratorio, “T he Messiah.” On Palm Sunday afternoon, the choir presented Maunder's beloved “Olivet to Calvary.” Because of the nature of these two major performances as well as the less pretentious concerts, those persons who were members of the 1933-1934 choir derived a great amount of personal benefit and enjoyment from their work while those who heard one or all of the choir’s concerts were spiritually uplifted and made better individuals.

The Quartettes Each spring York College has desired to have some group represent its interests before the high schools of Nebraska and Kansas. Since the music department is such a dominant factor in. the life of the college, it was decided that male quartettes could best do the work. Up to 1933 only one quartette had been sent out each spring. In 1933, due to the fact that more schools requested programs than could be acconv modated, the administration thought it best to employ the services of two groups. The first of these groups was the Serenaders, composed o f Rodney Whittemore, Henry Frans, Raymond W ochner, and Flcyd Merchant, all of the class of 1934. T he members of this quartette had sung together since they had been freshmen. By hours of constant practice they had developed into a group having a well-rounded repertoire. They were especially well known for their a capella singing and their rendition of sacred numbers. Assisting them as accompanist was Evelyn McKain. The other quartette, consisting of Marvin Hersey, Frank Green, Kenneth Jenkins, and Arthur Amadon, was the Revelers. Although 1933 marked the first time they had sung together, all were well prepared to do quartette work because each had had private instruction in addition to having sung in other small vocal ensembles. A fter weeks of intensive practice this group had mastered a repertoire that included espe cially clever and brilliant novelty selections. Acting as accompanist and reader on their programs was W illiam Hice. A fter having- presented programs in York and vicinity, both quartettes left for a week’s tour of high schools, presenting an average of six programs a day. The Serenaders presented programs in Nebraska, while the Revelers appeared in both Nebraska and Kansas.

COACH GUY O RD W A Y Guy Ordway became head coach at York College in the fall of 1933. In a very short time he whipped into shape a football team that gave a brilliant account of itself. I f met such schools as the University of South Dakota and was the only team in the conference that outplayed the N .C .A .C . champions. W ith but two veterans, Coach Ordway built a basketball team that played- the game as it ought to be played regardless of wins and losses. M ost of the members of this basketball team will be working together for three more years and this fact should be a decided opportunity for any coach. Coach Ordway is respected not only as a coach, but also as a Christian leader of men. Because he teaches his athletes to play the game squarely, his teams are worthy of the highest rating in sportsmanship. York College is both proud and fortu足 nate in being able to have him return for another year.

Football W ith a powerful grid machine the Panthers waded through a tough ten-game schedule with four victories, four losses and two ties. Russel Lewis, Robert Moline, and Tennis Hoffman, all four-year lettermen, were elected co-captains for the season. Under the leadership of Lewis the Panthers easily defeated Hebron 20-7. Although losing 19-0, the York team, with Moline as captain, gave a very brilliant account of themselves against the strong University of South Dakota team. Hoffman led the boys in their best game of the season when they tied Hastings, the N. C. A. C. champions. Doane also managed to slip out with a 6-6 tie. The reserves helped to wallop Nebraska Central 25-6. York trimmed Dana 12-6. Several veterans out of the line-up proved disastrous for the Panther defense in the Midland game when they lost 19-6. T he Panthers pierced Nebraska W esleyan’s line at will for three quarters and then, against a wealth of reserve material, dropped their 6-0 lead to lose 20-6. The reserves again aided in the 7-0 win at Seward against Concordia Teachers College. On Thanksgiving Day the York men emerged from their Kansas tilt on the short end of a 27-7 score against the strong McPherson aggregation. Y ork

Basketball The 1934 basketball team turned out by Coach Ordway was an inexperienced group that performed brilliantly at times and compiled a record of four victories out of a sixteen-game schedule. W ith but two veterans and a score of new men, Coach Ordway developed a team that gave all it had, even though its victories were few in number. A team was built that will be playing together for two more years, and in that time should develop into a winner. Interest in basketball was not confined to the varsity squad altogether, as the active second team did much to stimulate interest in the sport. It won every game of its schedule with the exception of the last one. The men who represented the reserve team were: Harold Riggs, M ax Riggs, Melvin Thompson, Leonard Thompson, Russel Lewis, Kenneth Liedtke, Ralph Sittler, Virgil W alker, Cecil Smith, Calvin Feemster, James Speece, Fred Rasp, and Olin Hicks.

W. A. A,
The purpose of the W om en’s Athletic Association is to stimulate interest in women’s athletics and to provide opportunity for women to develop the physical side of their lives. Basketball, baseball, volleyball, and tennis are the main activities but credit is also given for participation in other sports and forms of recreation. Points are granted on a settled basis and the awards for such points are: 100 points, letter; 500 points, pin; 1000 points, sweater; and 1500 points, blanket. This year the W . A . A . has tried to stimulate campus enthusiasm for all intercollegiate athletic events by organising a pep club. This pep club has been the nucleus in maintaining the student morale for the various athletic contests. Mrs. Guy Ordway readily joined the group in their activities and served as their sponsor. T he officers for the year were: President, Ruth Spore; Secretary-treasurer, Jean Brown; and Student Council Representative, Alma W alker. The chairmen of committees for the year were: Basketball, Marian Hill; Baseball, Lucille W estwood; Tennis, Melba Manning; Hiking, Irene Thompson; W in ter Sports, Lucile Evans; and Social, Leta Yost. A ll of the members heartily join in cheering "Yeah, blue! Yeah, white! Yeah, team! Fight, Fight!”

Intramural Sports Each year the Student Council arranges three athletic events between the fresh men and upperclassmen to determine whether or not the former shall have to wear their green tams until the Christmas vacation. In the first event the freshman girls’ basketball team, captained by Geraldine Johnson, won their court tilt by a score of 35-28. They appeared a bit over-confident and trailed the losing team led by Ruth Spore until the last minutes of the game. Event number two found the upperclassmen easily winning the tug-of-war by a 3-0 count. The freshmen couldn’t get a good footing. The third event, being the annual freshmen-upperclassmen grid contest, gave the freshmen the privilege of discarding their tams at Thanksgiving time when they defeated the older men by a 6-0 score. The game was close throughout with the brilliant running attack of the newcomers finally netting them six points. W allander, Adams, Lewis, and Taylor looked best for the freshmen, while Thompson, Franz, and Freet carried the burden for the losers. The juniors took the interclass basketball tournament by defeating the seniors and freshmen. The freshmen were in the finals after defeating the sophomores. Cecil Smith, with 39 points, led the sophomore-senior track team to a victory over the freshman-junior team. Thompson was second high point man with 19 points, while Jack Graham and James Speece tied for honors with 18 tallies each. The annual men’s and women’s tennis tournaments are being sponsored by the Y. M . C. A . and Y. W . C. A . respectively. The tournaments are well under way with both of last year’s champions in the race. Calvin Feemster, defending his .1933 title, is alert and willing to play hard to be the 1934 champion. Howard W right may give Calvin a good match. Ruth Spore with her usual vim, vigor, and vitality is making fine progress in an effort to succeed herself as the women’s champion tennis player. She may find some difficulty in defeating two of the freshmen, Geraldine Johnson and V era Thamer, who will be strong competitors.
