DEDICATION To
A l d e n Qa r wo o d W ho in his fourteen years of faithful service as caretaker of the York College cam pus and buildings h as m ade hosts of friends b ecau se of his willingness to cheerfully help others, and b ecau se of his fine, Christian character, we respectfully dedicate this 1936 Marathon.

AD M IN ISTRA TIO N BUILDING The administration building is the background for all the scen es of college life. Studying in the classroom , convening in the chapel, or chatting in the halls, the "A d" building observes the development of our personality and character and it watches us absorb the knowledge of the past and, perhaps, add something worthwhile for posterity. W hen we recollect our happy carefree days, and our serious, thoughtful moments, a vision of the old red brick "A d" building on the hill will return to us, to hover in the background of our memories.

ALUMNI LIBRARY W e whispered here and studied some. The library w as our haven after m any an intellectual storm.
COLLEGE CHURCH W e have dream ed our dream s, we have sung our songs, we h ave worked and we h ave played; now, we gather here for quiet, peace, and communion with our God. P age 9
Miss Ruby C arol Rickard, of W ashington, K ansas, the author and com足 poser of our college song, "O n the Hill of the Rising Sun", presented a chapel program of her own composition this spring. Miss Rickard stated that when she w as on the cam pus five y ears ago a friend said that York C ollege needed a song so she proceeded to write one. She said it w as a hobby of hers "to think that people should sing a lot." She h as written an entire concert program of original songs, which h ave not yet been published. Although she h as lost her eyesight, she not only sings, plays, and composes, but she also whistles beautifully and speaks in several languages.
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 white a blessed memory, Through the y ears our voices raise in praise to thee, All Hail! Hail! York! Looking down on the busy town Stands the college with aim s so high; For the best in our work and sport W e are glad we can sound the cry.

Student C ouncil The Student Council of York College w as organized in 1928. Its purpose is to further the interests of the student body; to act a s mediator betw een students and students and between students and faculty; to aid in the regu la tion of student activities; and to investigate and pass on an y problem pre sented to them in a petition signed by ten members of the student body and faculty. Everett Green, a senior, w as elected this y ear's president by a student vote in M ay, 1935. At the opening meeting this y ear Lawrence C aseb eer w as chosen vice-president, and Virgie Clayton w as elected secretary-treasurer. In addition to its constitutional duties the Council enforces freshm an rules, controls the number of offices held by one student, sponsors the spring election of Representative M an and W om an of the College, and Editor and Business M anager of the Sandburr, and selects appropriate freshman cap s for the ensuing year. This y ear it also sponsored the all-student election and inauguration of a Homecoming Q ueen who reigned over the affairs on Home coming Day. This y ea r members were admitted to the Council from the Life Work Recruits and A lpha Sigm a Phi. For the year, 1934-1935, Milton Maurer w as president of the Council, Virgil W alker w as vice-president, and Irene Thompson w as secretary-treasurer. During this term the Council revised the freshm an rules, developed a point system of controlling offices held b y each student, and re-published the handbook regulations for students. Changing conditions in student affairs made such revisions seem very beneficial.

A bit of history attached to a picture, a poem, a song, or an y cherished possession adds greatly to its worth. The following song w as written by an alum nus in 1905 for the college song and later resurrected by another alum nus and called the Alumni Song. It w as used m any y ears in its original c a pacity but w as gradually discarded in favor of one with more "pep." It w as felt by the resurrector that it should not be forgotten b ecau se of its historical interest. This song changed the college colors. They were formally navy blue and white but from an interpretation of the song royal blue and white banners and supplies were ordered and their attractiveness appealed to students and the ch ang e resulted.
Alumni Son| Come, let us sing together A glad triumphant song To our own Alm a Mater With praises loud and long; The p an sy is her emblem Of every tint and hue Her banner floating o'er us Is the Royal White and Blue. C horu s The pansy is her emblem Of every tint and hue Her banner floating o'er us Is the Royal White and Blue. Her halls so high and lofty G ive glory to her nam e; The fight for greater wisdom Adds luster to her fam e; W hen you grow sad and w eary Of 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 m any 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. — C. W. Gwinn, '05.

Senior Memories In the fall of 1932 approxim ately one hundred students matriculated at York College to m ake up the freshman class. Since then, with numerous withdrawals and a few additions the class passed four years in York, and in the spring of 1936 eighteen were granted their degrees. During the first y ea r the class w as headed by Lucille Dierdorff and W ay n e Norwood; in the second year by Irene Thompson; in the third year b y Donald V arcoe and Irene Thompson; and in (he fourth year by Sam Lee. In their freshman y ear this class of 1936 succeeded in enjoying two class parties, so well planned a s to be unmolested by upper classm en. M any of the members enjoyed the refreshments cleverly procured from the JuniorSenior Hallowe'en party. A picture, "Christ on the Mount of O lives," by Giovanni, w as presented to the college. Professor J. C. M organ and Miss Alma Tress Lundman w ere sponsors. W hile sophomores, the giving of the Sophomore Reception and the pre足 sentation of shrubbery to the college on Arbor Day were the main accom 足 plishments. This shrubbery w as planted at the west end of the walk lead足 ing from the Administration Building. For their junior year they will remember the Junior-Senior banquet they planned for the seniors at the Country Club, carrying out the ap p earan ce of a Palm Beach resort. The fourth and last y ea r is the most important in a student's college life. This y ea r on Recognition Day, the class breakfasted together, attended the Recognition Service given them b y the juniors, lunched together, went to a show, then to the York-Doane basketball gam e, and completed the day by being entertained b y Professor and Mrs. Keim. The seniors gav e the juniors an April-Fool's Party at the Y. M. C. A., and later in April were given the Junior-Senior banquet by the juniors. The selection of announcements, of class rings and pins, and various activities of Commencement week all added to the pleasures of the graduates. As a parting gift to the college the class chose indirect lighting reading lam ps to be placed on each table of the library. Professor Chris Keim w as sponsor of this class for the last three years. To him and Mrs. Keim the cla ss wishes to express its gratitude and apprecia足 tion for their m any kindnesses.

Storg of tlie Chapel Fla; Hanging on the south wall of the chapel is a large wooden frame with a plate glass front. Protected in this fram e is a flag, a pic ture, some gold and blue stars, a letter, and a list of nam es. At first glan ce this is all that is seen, and to most students and alumni this is all that is known concerning the m e morial presented to the college by the class of 1924. But behind this flag, this picture, these gold and blue stars, this letter, and this list of nam es, is a story, and a story that should be known by every student, alumnus and friend of York College. O ne evening in 1919, the late M. O. M c Laughlin, a former president of York College, then a mem ber of the house of representa tives, attended a banquet of the Methodist Brotherhood in W ashington. It so happened that the flag hanging in the banquet room w as the one which had flown over the demo cratic national convention in Baltimore in 1912 and in St. Louis in 1916 at which Presi dent W ilson had been nominated a s a can didate for the presidency of the United States. This flag w as given to Representative McLaughlin to present to the sm all denom inational college in N ebraska of which he had been president. Mr. McLaughlin accep t ed the gift and dedicated it to the York col lege football team of 1919. In 1924 the senior class w as seeking for a fitting memorial to leave the college. V ari ous suggestions were m ade and finally on senior class day in 1924 the senior class m ade a valu able and a m em orable gift to the college. "O ld Glory" w as draped around a picture of President W ilson which he had
purposely autographed for this gift, the flag bearing the gold and blue stars for the men who had served "O ver There" for "Old Glory," the college honor roll, and the letter from President W ilson's secretary to the class of 1924 were all placed in a wooden frame with a plate glass front and present ed to the college. The gold stars represent former students of York college who died during the period of arm y service, some in training cam p and some at the battle front. Their nam es are: Lester Kettering, '18, of K ansas; Arthur Wolfe, ex-'21 of Ericson; Ray mond White, ex-'21 of Lincoln; Ross Gudgel, (commercial) of G resham ; W illiam A. Steven, (Academy) and Elmer Bolton, (Academy) both of York. Long has the story of this gift been forgot ten. But now it h as been revived. The col lege is the owner of a picture of President W ilson which he purposely autographed to be presented to the college with the flag which had flown over both of the conven tions at which he had been nominated. The college is also the possessor of a tradition which should not be allowed to die. Hanging on the south w all of the chapel there m ay be a large wooden frame with a plate glass front. Protected by this frame there m ay be a flag, a picture, some gold and blue stars, a letter, and a list of names. But also hanging on the south wall of the chapel there is a memorial to our country, to an idealistic president, and to "our boys over there." And represented by this me morial is a valu able tradition which the col lege cannot afford to lose.

We Fresh men Under the shedding walnut tree The college Freshm an struts, The Frosh, a witty m an is he, The wisest of the nuts. His cap is green, his face is'red , Frosh rules h ave just begun; With the upper-class, h e's w ay ahead, They've got him on the run. W eek in, w eek out, from mom till night You ca n h ear those fellows blow; You ca n h ear them tell of all the things They did long years ago. These children going home from school. Look b a ck at the awful bore; They hate to leave the raving Prof., W ho gav e poor grades galore. They go on Sunday to the church, And sit upon the pews; They h ear the parson pray and preach, And listen while he stews. It sounds so much like their father's voice, C alling them from their sleep; They needs must think of him once more For they've mowed not what they reap. Higgling,—wiggling,— fiddling,— Onward through life he goes— Each morning sees some class begin, E ach evening sees it close. Thanks, thanks to thee my worthy friend For the lesson thou h a s taught, Thus in this hectic college life, A sprouting Freshm an's wrought.

The Goodwill Committee The Goodwill Committee is a group which w as organized in the fall of 1934 through the enthusiasm of Jack Graham and Professor Chris Keim. Its pur足 pose, a s intended by the originators, is to promote goodwill and a better understanding betw een the townspeople and the college, this program to be promoted by students and faculty. The members of the group the first year were Jack Graham , Ruth Spore, Everett Green, Milton Maurer, Lyndle Moore, Irene Hofgard, and Howard Wright, with Miss A nna Thompson and Professor Keim as sponsors. Those who formed the group this past y ear were Everett Green, Dulcie Hoofnagle, Irene Thompson, Rosa Swezey, Irvin Lewis, Cecil Smith, Edith Goodban, Glen McPherson, and Dean Charles Bisset, sponsor. It w as decided that those who were to form a permanent committee were the leaders of the following or足 ganizations: Student Council, Sandburr Staff, Y. W. C. A., Y. M. C. A., "Y " Club, W. A. A., Panther Club, and M arathon Board. The chairm an of the committee and the faculty member is chosen by the members them selves at the opening of each school year. One college function which this group h as m ade definitely its own is the sponsoring of the Spring Banquet. Their one idea is to have a banquet during the lull of activities in March with less formality than usually is found at college functions. Both banquets have been unusually successful. Last y ear Jack G raham acted a s toastmaster and original poetry w as featured on the toasts. This y ear the leap y ear theme w as used in the following program: Toastmaster, Law rence C asebeer; The Scien ce of Spring, Merle W ittmeyer; Cutting Up, Barney Rees;
Leap Y ear Versus W omen, Norma Harris;
Men
Versus Leap Year, Robert Spore; Spring is Such a Lovely Season, Nina Brisbin. The Revelers, the Harmoniers, and the Girls' Trio each gave m usical numbers. The program w as concluded by singing the college song.

Because of numerous gatherings which w ere held there, the junior class in 1917, in pub lishing the first y ear book decided to call it "The M arathon." Since then each su ccessive annual board, except one, h as retained the nam e of M arathon for the y ea r book. The junior and senior cla sses h ave tried to m ake of this M arathon the best yet produced. By profiting from the experience of other boards and b y gaining the loyal support of the student body the members of the Marathon Board of 1936 in preparing this book h ave hoped to m ake of it a treasured keepsake for ea ch possessor.

Its nam e w as appropriate in that there w as a profusion of those prickly plants on the cam pus at that time. The motto of the paper w as, "Don't Step on M e." This y ear the paper has inaugurated a new headline style which involves the use of the capital and sm all letter headlines on all lead stories. Further than that, a concrete front p age make-up policy w as established. These and other changes were in accord with the best new spaper style as outlined by the A ssociated Collegiate Press, of which "The Sandburr" is a member. The establishm ent of a newswriting class which offers college credit and practical experience to students, w as a forward step taken this year. Miss Edith M. Callender conducts this class.

Youn^ Womens Christian Association The purpose of the Young W om en's Christian Association is to realize a full and creative life through a growing knowledge of God. The three sides of life, spiritual, m ental and physical are stressed. To carry out this purpose, weekly meetings are held at which m usical programs, discussions on perti nent questions, devotional services, and various types of programs are planned which will in an y w ay help the college woman to grow and adjust herself to college life and to every day living. Guest speakers on subjects of literature, art, and nature w ere very much appreciated. The official business of the organization is done by the cabinet, which consists of the officers and standing committee chairm en. The big-little sister plan w as again carried out this year. Each new girl w as assigned to one who had alread y been on the cam pus, then she w as invited b y her big sister to a tea in the college reception room and later to a picnic. The purpose of this plan is to hasten friendships am ong the women on the campus. During the y ear the m em bers of the Y. W. C. A. participate in various social activities. They cooperate with the Y. M. C. A. in giving the Jolly-up ea ch semester, and in presenting the M ay D ay fete the latter part of May. This y ear the annual banquet w as held in the college dining room, at which time Dulcie Hoofnagle took up her duties a s the new president. The candle lighting cerem ony w as used to induct the new officers. The new cabinet w as informally entertained and initiated at a slumber party given by the retiring cabinet. Helen Cole, first representative of the United Brethren schools to go to W est Africa; B arb ara Lautz, traveling secretary for the Rocky Mountain Re gion of the Student Christian Movement; and Jean Hastings, traveling secre tary for the Student Volunteers, visited our Y. W. C. A. during the past two years. M embers of the Y. W. C. A. h ave been urged to attend the Association Conference held each spring at Estes Park.

Youn^ Men s Christian Association The student Young M en's Christian Association is a part of a national and international youth movement. Having originated in the civic Y. M. C. A. it h as gradually adjusted its program to the particular needs of the college student. By this adjustment this organization h as taken upon itself a ' definite task of helping to mold an alytical student minds with Christian attitudes. The ulimate goal of the group is a four-square development in the realm of mental, spiritual, social, and physical life. Regular meetings are held in the college chapel every Tuesday morning. M usical numbers, vocational and educational talks, and discussions of peace, moral, and student problems furnish much of the program material. Most of the programs are given by students in an effort to develop talent and leader ship. Several professional men have given very interesting talks to the Y. M. C. A. this year. The first social function of this organization is the watermelon "feed" held early in the fall, at which time all college men have an opportunity to becom e well acquainted. The Jolly-up, held at the gym nasium, is sponsored jointly with the Y. W . C. A. during the first week of each sem ester for all college students and faculty. M any picnics, dinners, and programs are planned with the Y. W . C. A. and its cabinet. The M ay D ay fete is the outstanding social production of their com bined efforts. The Association this y ear sponsored an all-college basketball tournament, which provided an outlet for the physical side of the organization goals. They invited a group of Y. M. C. A. presidents and sponsors to our cam pus in March, at which time problems, ideas, and aim s were discussed. During the past two y ears the worth of the Young People's Association Conference at Estes Park h as been stressed. The two Christian Associations created a joint fund and sent Everett Green a s their delegate to the Student Volunteer Con vention in Indianapolis, Indiana in December. The organization is financed by pledges from its m em bers and from M ay Day receipts.

PALS
The y ear 1935-1936 marked a change in the functions of the PALS Literary Society. The constitution w as am ended so that this organization is no longer a literary society but a social club. Meetings and programs are held on alter nate Tuesday evenings in the PALS hall as previously, but em phasis is laid on the social aspect of college life and not on literary exercise. Although the im portance of parliam entary order and forensic exercises is recognized, the development of social consciousness is considered of primary value. Such a conversion is still in the em bryonic stage; its success or failure will be de termined in the future. But to the present members of the society such a ch an g e seem ed essential to the life of the organization. The programs included talks on entertaining subjects, readings, musical numbers, impromptu addresses, and debates. The fall reception, occasional parties, the spring picnic, and the annual spring banquet are the outstanding social functions of the PALS. The PALS Literary Society w as formed in 1914-15 when the Philomathean Society for women and the Amphictyon Society for men were merged into one organization.

Zeta Literary Society
The Zeta Literary Society, formed in 1914 by the union of the Zetalethean Society for women and the Zetagathean Society for men, meets on alternate Tuesday evenings in the Zeta Hall. It is an organization of students who are interested in promoting intellectual advancem ent, social culture, and mutual improvement am ong its members. Early in the first sem ester a reception w as held for the faculty and nonmembers, and w as well attended. During the y ear about twenty-five members were admitted into the society, most of whom were initiated during the Fall Festival meeting with Dorothy Alexander reigning a s Queen. Due to the feeling among members that social activities were needed on the cam pus, this ph ase w as stressed throughout the year, and m any out standing social events resulted. Formality w as dispersed with throughout all of the meetings. As interest in travel proved to be quite general am ong the members, entertaining programs were developed about this subject. Both speakers from the faculty and society m embers gave accounts of their travels. The y ear will be closed with the annual picnic and banquet.

Tlie Panther Cluh P-A-N-T-H-E-R, Panthers! Yeh, Blue! Yeh, White! Yeh, Team! Fight, Fight, Fight! These are some of the echoes of the college spirit, the loyalty, and the "p ep " created on the York C ollege campus. It is the purpose of the Panther Club to arouse this enthusiasm, to circulate it throughout the student body, then to m aintain it at a high point. The Panther Club w as organized in 1926 as the "Booster Club." Later it w as nam ed after the team s for which it boosted. Two members are selected from each class and from the faculty to constitute this club. Its "pep chapels" and "pep band s" have been popular mediums for the carrying out of its pur pose. Early this y ear at chapel try-outs, Irene Hofgard and Law rence C asebeer were elected cheer leaders. Their cheering sections created at the Midland and W esleyan football gam es were spectacular. The Panther Club plans and supervises the annual banquet honoring the football men. "A Stratosphere Flight" w as the theme of the 1935 banquet on Decem ber 6. The identity of the Panther Sweetheart, the Representative Foot b all Man, and the 1936 Captain, previously elected by the squad, w as re vealed. The following program w as given: "The Ripcord Lets Out the Air", Toastm aster Rosa Swezey; "W e Honor the Choice of the Crew", Representative Football Man, Harry Stephenson; "The Flight Would Fail Without Ballast", Kenneth Elmore; "O n W ings of Song", M ale Quartette; "The Commander Reviews the Flight", Coach N eal G allant; "Every Flight Has its Loyal Ad m irers", Panther Sw eetheart, Irene Thompson; "There's Music in the Air", String Trio; "The Explorer", Mr. John Riddell; "The Pilot M akes a Successful Landing", Captain Harry Stephenson. Interest w as added to this occasion when friends and alumni were introduced.

Life Work Recruits On every college cam pus one will find a group of young men and women desirous of developing their spiritual lives to the fullest extent, of discovering Truth as it can be applied to life. Some of this group go even further in desiring to devote their lives to Christian Service. The purpose of the Life W ork Recruits is to m eet the needs of just such a group. The organization h as increased this y ear over other years in membership and also iii deeper religious feeling. Gospel team s h ave gone out to neighbor ing churches to hold m eetings m any Sundays. Both they and the churches vis ited profited by the programs given. A special project taken up by the group this y ear w as the presentation of the m issionary play, "B a Thane". It is a dram a dealing with the conflict of the m issionary and com m ercial forces in Burma, India. The purpose of the pre sentation w as to collect funds for the African project carried on by all the United Brethren colleges. It is a plan b y which each college has the privilege of sending a representative to Sierra Leone, W est A frica for a period of two years, the support of whom all the colleges cooperate. The Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. also work on this project. The organization this y ear also sent a delegate, Vaughn Learning, to the Student Volunteer Convention in Indian apolis, Indiana. To President J. R.

The Art Department A liberal arts college attempts to take care of all phases of a student's life. Among those phases, art and its appreciation stands high. The purpose of the Art Department of York College is to satisfy needs along that line. This department is com posed of three classes of students, those who are taking it with a view to teaching it, those who are planning to m ake some practical use of it, and those who are taking it as an elective. Because their interests are sim ilar much can be accom plished by the department as a whole a s well as by the individual artists. The Normal Art class scheduled for the second sem ester is especially helpful to grade school teachers in their work with youngsters. A "feed " w as held in the spring to help develop the social life of the students a s well a s the educational and appreciation sides. This, with other informal gatherings, brought the students together in a w ay they could not h ave been brought together in the classroom. Becau se of its purpose— that of fostering an appreciation of the work of others and to develop along with that, the student's own ability to express himself— Mrs. Giauque holds an art exhibit each y ear which is a part of the commencem ent week program. These exhibits h ave alw ays been of unusual and particular interest to students, faculty, and towns people. Because of all this the art department should hold a place of ever increasing importance in the college curriculum.

Miss Alma Tress Lundman Director E x p ression D epartm ent The Expression Department of York College, under the ab le direction of Miss Alma Tress Lundman, is becom ing increasingly important to college students and the community. Students are finding it very beneficial to be a b le to express their thoughts to an audience with clarity and ease. The Histrionic Club is one of the major divisions of this department. Its members study and present the better types of plays, both classical and modern. W hile memorizing their own parts in these plays they analyze them and evaluate them a s to their dram atic qualities and literary values. Mem足 bers also are shown how to apply m akeup and arrange the scenery. By participation in debate, public speaking, and private expression les足 sons, students get practical experience in constructing and presenting their own m aterial before an audience, a s well a s in memorizing readings for dram atic presentation. This y ea r V era Thamer and Helen Frieze were pre足 sented in a joint recital by this department. M any other public appearances h ave been given by individuals from this group; several of these were on radio programs. This spring Miss Lundman w as honored by membership in the National Dramatic Fraternity, Alpha Psi O m ega, which has headquarters in Hamilton, New York.

Debate With four debate lettermen and a number of bright prospects signifying their intention to concentrate long and loud on the question, debate stock soared high this past year. Lettermen included M arven Hess, W illiam Curnutt, Robert Marple, and Irvin Lewis. Outstanding recruits were Erwin Bran son, forensic letter winner of 1935, Keith Adamson, who had received ex perience the past year, Robert Ferris, Law rence Deever, Harold W ochner, C harlene Hurley, and Dorothy Alexander. The national Pi K appa Delta question on the advisability of giving to Congress the power to override Supreme Court decisions w as used in all debates. York entered a team in the national Alpha Sigm a Phi invitational meet held at D ana C ollege but w as eliminated b y N ebraska W esleyan Uni versity. The next tournament w as of the practice nature and w as sponsored by K earney State Teachers College. A York team composed of Lewis and Branson turned in victories over team s from K earney and Midland, while an other team of Ferris and Deever won from Chadron and W esleyan. The de bates of the B team m ade up of Hess and W ochner were not judged. The series of d ebates with N ebraska Central College were included in the preparation for the annual tournament of the N ebraska Inter-collegiate Forensic Association, of which York College is a member. Team s selected by the coach es, Miss Lundman and Prof. Morgan, to represent York in this tourna ment consisted of Erwin Branson, sophomore, first speaker, and Irvin Lewis, two y ear letterman, second speaker, a s the A team. The B 1 team members were Law rence Deever, freshman, and Robert Ferris, sophomore. The B 2 team consisted of Keith Adcrmson, sophomore, and Harold W ochner, fresh man. In the A tournament Lewis and Branson won victories over Doane College, D ana College, and N ebraska Central College, but failed to place in the tournament. In the B tournament Ferris and Deever tied for third place am ong eleven schools with ten victories and four defeats. W ochner and Adam son won four debates.

Alpha Si^ma Phi The Theta chapter of the Alpha Sigm a Phi w as the first Greek letter honor society on the York College cam pus. These Greek letters, Alpha, Sigm a, and Phi are the initial letters of the Greek words m eaning Truth, Wisdom, and Eloquence. Inasm uch as the organization is national in ch aracter its p lace on the cam pus elevates the forensic standing of the college. The Alpha Sigm a Phi, under the direction of Miss Alm a Tress Lundman and Prof. J. C. Morgan, h as furthered and sponsored all forensic activities of the past year. Membership in the organization is divided into three classifications. Resi dent membership com es from active participation in inter-collegiate debate or oratorical contests with the resultant winning of a forensic letter. This membership also requires the m aintenance of a high scholastic standing and the carrying of a full college course. A ssociate membership includes those actively preparing for participation in inter-collegiate forensics. These m ay b e voted into the organizations by a three-fourths m ajority vote of the resi dent members, as m ay honorary members. This class includes instructors and others interested in the work. At the beginning of this term, there were five resident members in the local chapter. These were Irvin Lewis, president, Erwin Branson, vice-president, W illiam Curnutt, secretary-treasurer, M arven Hess, Student Council repre sentative, and Robert Marple. Miss Lundman and Prof. M organ are honorary members. During the progress of the forensic season, Deever, Ferris, Adam son, and W ochner won their right to resident membership by their participa tion in approxim ately twenty-five inter-collegiate debates each. J’ack G raham placed third in the state after-dinner speaking contest in 1935, and Erwin Branson placed second in 1936. Local elimination contests determined the entrant in the annual P eace O ratorical contest. Law rence Deever w as York's entrant in 1936.

Cliarl es H. Amadon Dean C o n serv a to ry o f M usic The Music Department, under the direction of Dean C harles Amadon, is a vital part of college life. No program is complete without the representation of this department in some manner. In fact those who h ave not even a sm all p lace in this section are very few. Under the sponsorship of Mrs. Muriel Clarke, violin instructor, and Miss Eda Rankin and Miss G ladys Pearson, piano instructors, is a class of solo pupils. The purpose of this group is to help students to gain experience and ea se in appearing before the public. A very outstanding outgrowth of the Music Department, of com paratively recent date, is the M usic "Y" Club. The group is composed of those who h ave earned a "Y " in m usical competition. Before earning a letter a student must have given at least- ten public perform ances. The emblem, a s differing from the athletic "Y", is a lyre with an old English "Y " in it. Another important regular feature of this department has been its Sunday radio programs. Beginning early in this school year, regular programs under the direction of Dean Amadon have been presented from 4:30 to 5:00 o'clock. These h ave been of much general interest and h av e helped the college in m any w ays, a s well a s the students participating.

Choir an d Ql ee c l uh In Decem ber the United Brethren Church Choir and the York College G lee Club invited an y others who desired to help, and presented an afternoon concert consisting of the best known arias, recitatives, and choruses of Han足 del's great oratorio, "The M essiah". The solo numbers were sung by Irene Hofgard, Janice Brown, Edith Goodban, Orm al Tack, Raym ond W ochner, '34, Hester Whitemore, and Bernice Peterson. Although this w as the largest joint production of these two groups, they practice together every week for the regular services at the college church. This is one of the m any instances in which the splendid cooperation between the college and its church proves to be to their mutual benefit. For m any years the choir h as been under the direction of Dean Charles Amadon, with Miss Eda Rankin, also of the Music Department, assisting a s organist. The glee club h as a one hour class period each Tuesday, at which time it studies selections to be presented in public. In 1934-1935 the glee club pre足 sented the operetta, "In Old Louisiana", by Dodge, at the annual M ay Day fete. This year their m ajor production w as the opera, "M arth a", by Frederick von Flotow. Both of these perform ances drew large greatly enjoyed.

Lambda Phi An innovation in the Music Department of York College w as the organi zation, in the fall of 1935, of an honorary society for piano scholarship, to be called Lam bda Phi.
It h as a s its purpose that of benefiting advanced
piano students by their association and cooperation and of increasing the appreciation of piano am ong its own members and in the community. The members are chosen by the piano faculty and the student must h ave had at least one sem ester of piano in York College. In order to be a m em ber one must be of recital calibre. Before the piano student can becom e a permanent member, he must fulfill for three consecutive sem esters certain requirements a s to the amount of practice and the number of public appearances. He must attend all m usical recitals of York College. Olive King and Betty Perry were admitted as pledge members. Alumni m embers are those who were outstanding in the piano department when they w ere in college. This group includes Jeanette Bisset, Doris Moomey, and Milan Lambert. A special feature this y ear w as the Lam bda Phi recital given on April 20. Each member played one number.
It is planned to m ake this an annual
affair. Lam bda Phi sponsored Milan Lambert's concert given on the evening of M ay 7, the proceeds of which began an organ fund.

Tke Orchestra The fall of 1934 marked the beginning of an organized orchestra, and it h as proved to b e a successful venture.
It is natural that it should m ake a
marked improvement in the second year. This group, under the a b le direction of Mrs. Muriel Thomas Clarke, has m ade several public appearances, am ong them being a ch ap el program in December, a radio program in March, and part of a program at the United Brethren Church in May. The music chosen has been of the highest type and h as been received with interest and appreciation.
Som e of the selections chosen were "The
M agic Flute O verture" by Mozart, "The Atlantis Suite" b y Safranek, "The Coronation M arch" from The Prophet by M eyerbeer, and "Country G ardens" â&#x2013; by Grainger. Of this group, two are seniors, nine h ave previously lettered in music and seven are taking music a s their major.

Under the new lights installed by the college, a group of huskies from Fort Dodge, Iowa, administer ed the first defeat for the Panthers b y a score of 20 to 12. On Homecoming, they scored a thrilling victory over the highly touted Midland Warriors. It w as the first victory over the Midland aggregation since 1921 and also the first conference victory for the Panthers this season. For the final gam e of the season the Panthers journeyed to Doane College to settle third and last places in the N. C. A. C. Conference.

Basketball The 1936 Panther basketball team w as developed from an inexperienced group that performed well at times and compiled a record of four victories out of an eighteen gam e schedule. Starting the season with only six lettermen in suit and a fine crop of new material, Coach G allant developed a team that exhibited
fine
basketball
even if the victories w ere few. This team w as built around men who will be playing two or three years and should develop into a strong contender in the conference. They clim axed this y ear's
schedule by defeating the Doane
Tigers on their own floor 39 to 25 and then ended the basketball season in a novelty gam e with the well known Harlem G lobe Trotters.

"Y" Glut The "Y " Club is an active organization on the campus. Its purpose is to stimulate interest in athletics and maintain an organized association for those who are interested in York College athletics. The membership of the club is limited to those men who h ave earned an official "Y " by meeting the requirements in at least one of the inter-collegiate sports, and by completing at least twelve hours of college work. Although membership in the "Y " Club is for life, only those men who are enrolled in college are considered active members. The regular monthly dinners held at the college dining room afford op portunity to discuss athletic plans and club business. This y ear the club sponsored its sixth annual high school track and field meet. New rules con cerning sw eaters were formulated recently. It w as planned that those men who earned a "Y " this year, and who return to York C ollege next fall, m ay receive a sweater, one half of which will be paid b y the college and "Y" Club, the other half to b e paid b y the man who receives the sweater. Upon graduation, if he h as m ade at least two letters, one of which h as been earned in the senior year, he will receive a sw eater and a medallion which will admit him to all York College athletic events. These will be presented to him by the college and "Y " Club. The ruling heretofore, that an y m an who had earned one "Y " could secure a life pass medal, has been thought unwise in the light of this new provision.

Womens Athletic Association The W om en's Athletic Association is composed of those college women who are interested in and desire to participate in athletic contests. Its pur pose is to stimulate interest in women's athletics and to provide opportunity for women to develop the physical side of their lives. Basketball, b aseb all, and tennis were the activities which occupied the m ajor interests this year. Points are given for attendance at regular meetings held every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon, as well a s for participation in swimming, sledding, tennis, skating, hiking, and bicycling. Points are granted on a b asis determined by the group and aw ards are given. For one hundred points a member receives a W. A. A. letter; for five hundred points, a pin; for one thousand points, a sweater; and for one thousand five hundred points, a h eav y blue blanket with a large white "Y " in the center of it. The W. A. A. sponsored a waffle supper at the college dining room last year, the proceeds of which they used to buy a sunTamp to be used at the gym for injuries. This lamp has been very helpful to the athletic department. This y ear several basketball gam es were scheduled with the high school girls. Later an interclass tournament w as played <if betw een the freshman, Sophomore and com bined junior-senior teams. Picnics and roller skating par ties added variety to the regular meetings.

For Your Enlightenment Since the purpose of such a book a s the MARATHON is to retain in per manent form all the activities and associations of the college days of the students, the editors of this section of the MARATHON believe that such a record would b e incomplete without the mention of certain prominent features of this y ear's term. For this reason the following synonym s and exam ples are included here. W ebster's N ew In tern ation al D ictionary— Fellowship (n)—partnership, allian ce, casu al intercourse; com panionship of persons on equ al and friendly terms, friendliness, com radeship, companionship, association, community of interest, com pany, (v.i.) to be in communion. T h e N ew N ation al W e b s te r D ictionary lor School, H om e, a n d O ffice— Fellowship (n)— association, communion, intimacy, society, joint interest or feeling. T he Y ork C o lle g e V o c a b u la ry — Fellowship (n, adj., adv., interj., or v) or obsolete). E. G., Come and fello w s h ip with us. York College fe llo w s h ip s are lasting. The fe llo w sh ip p in g of our students is adm irable. Fellowshipl! or, preferred, FELLO W SH IP**!!*! W eb ster's N ew In tern ation al D ictionary— Set-up (n)—carriage of the body; a m achine for upsetting the bloom that has been lengthened by the squeezer; an iron bolt or rod upset at one end; a position of the balls from which it is ea sy to score; a treat. T h e N ew N ation al W e b s te r D ictionary for S ch o o l, H om e a n d Office— Set-up— (not given). T he Y ork C o lle g e V o c a b u la r y — Set-up (n,v.)— (colloquialism)— E. G., The set-up here at York is splendid. Feaster, you certainly missed a wonderful set-up. Mirandy had a h ead ach e, so I set-up with her last night. And so on, ad infinitum.
Round the Re§ister "H eaven, I'm in H eaven", it is only Keith rounding the corner to join the group 'Round the Register. Irene, Bud, Flora, G rosshans, C asebeer, and a few other odds and ends are gathered there. The talk goes on and on, round and round. Others approach and others leave. The h all fills and empties, and fills again. Laughter echoes through the corridors and student life throbs 'Round the Register. O ne o'clock. There are Jordan, Imogene, and M ary Alice standing 'Round the Register. Izzy's laugh and Irene's reprimand float from the office door. Shadow and Popo com e and go like ghosts in the night. The outside door squeaks rustily, a giggle, and a hearty laugh are heard. It is only Norma and S e a se entering the Ad building. From somewhere a fam iliar noise is heard,— is it from upstairs or down?— the high tinkling sound of ice in a glass, the shrill siren of the Fire Chief, mingled with a silly, pleasing suggestion of mirth,— yes, just V era addressing Sandburrs in the workroom. But all is echoed and re-echoed 'Round the Register. The talk goes on, about German, Psych, and English Lit., about dates and parties, about puns and pranks, and on and on . G aily, seriously, laughingly, quietly (?), students en gage in gossip and silly slang, puns and occasional witticisms, "griping" and serious philosophizing. And thus it goes on, a s it has gone on, and a s it will continue to go on a s long a s students are young and g a y and foolish and wise. As long as the 'ol register will en dure, life will throb 'Round the Register.

Chapel Chumps (The following are accounts of chapel programs presented during the y ear which were thought to b e so outstanding that a permanent record of them w as deem ed ad visable to prolong their existence in the minds and hearts of the students of Pork College.) Released through the courtesy of the Quote Right Press. Septem ber 16 (QR) President J. R. Mullover today welcomed the m any students to the fellowship of the Pork College halls of learning for the coming session of pure, Christian education. "The set-up is extrem ely friendly to a y ear of pleasant fellowshipping", said the president. 'This past summer w e h ave had our representatives in the fields seeing the good people of our constituency in order that they might be urged to give their all for their college", h e continued. "M y communications with these good people h av e urged them to raise an extra swine in their sty for Pork College. Also, I asked them to pierce a pig for dear old Pork", the prexy said. A n d so, I gladly extend the hand of fellowship to ea ch of you new K an sas students and other outstate students. I hope that when you becom e acquainted with our entire set-up here, you will enjoy nine months of pleasant fellowshipping", w ere his concluding remarks. November 13 (OR)— Dr. W. W. Tweezey in his regularly scheduled chapel address to the students of Pork College thundered, on— "G en erally speaking, a man is a man regardless of his origin, but genetically speaking, a man is only a m an after he has been an am oeba, a worm, a tarantula, a beetle, a squirrel, a chicken, and a chim panzee. You m ay doubt the veracity of that statement, but experiments h av e been worked out in Burma, Tahiti, Baltimore, and W ahoo which prove conclusively that a man is not what he ap es." Dr. Tweezey concluded by citing several of his experiences with chim panzees and gorillas whose reactions confirmed his belief in this genetic development. Decem ber 21 (OR)— A group of students from the Expression Department of Pork College presented a short dram a in two scenes, "The Green Petti coat", by Frederick Lisbon. Miss Balm y Dress Lungman of that department directed the play. March 31 (OR)— In the half hour allotted to the students for group meet ings Dean C. H. Randomon announced that he would like to meet the Devillers and Muleteers for a brief moment after dismissal. April 3 (OR)— Professor Hard C. Stam pster reread a paper before the stu dent body which he had prepared originally a s an assignm ent in Advanced Composition b a ck in '89. The title of this discourse w as "Few and Few M ake More." "M any young upstarts contend that Sam pson w as not killed by a •seedy pedagogue," said Mr. Stampster, "But, nevertheless, few and few m ake more." "Zacharias had two sons, one of whom m ade 70's in all of his subjects except English, math., science, and a few other m iscellany which he flunked, the other son m ade 60 in all of his courses. This w as not because his locks were clipped by various women. Nevertheless, few and few, if friction is not counted, do not alw ays m ake m ore", concluded Mr. Stampster with a final thrust of flooding oratory.
