THE HARWOOD SCHOOL OF
LEADERSHIP EDUCATION
The Harwood School of Leadership Education was designed with a twofold purpose in mind. First, the training of ministers and lay leaders for carrying on the work of Christian Education in the local church, and, second, the perpetuation of the memory of the late Dr. J. E. Harwood, both of which are worthy goals.
The need for the first is obvious and the reason for the second will be better understood when we review the work of Dr. Harwood for sixteen years as General Secretary of Christian Education. It was during this time that he championed the cause of training leaders and worked tirelessly with numbers of young people throughout the church.
To best carry on this type of work the Department of Christian Education planned for a Harwood Memorial Endowment Fund of $5, 000. 00 the interest of which would go to further this type of training. This fund has been accumulating through the last few years until at the beginning of the campaign in January it had amounted to $3, 800. 00 It is hoped that this year will complete this fund. Early reports show quite good.
For the last few years, as a result of the income of this endowment fund, a Harwood School of Leadership Education has been conducted at Huntington College in cooperation with the College administration. To these schools people from over the church and from other churches have come from several states and two nations, returning to their home churches better equipped to carry on the work of the Lord.
Now we are announcing another Harwood School to be held at the College March 15-26. Three courses will be offered, namely; Unifying the Church’s Program, J. Ralph Pfister, Instructor; Administering and Teaching in the Vacation Bible School, R. W. Rash, Instructor; and Using the Bible in Christian Growth, E. M. Funk, Instructor. In addition to the courses

ZETA
Several interesting meetings have been held lately in the girls’ lounge at the dorm. Miss Martin gave a very interesting talk on “College Youth” and Isabelle Tabb gave a poem about the “Bishop and the Cow” at one of our meetings. At the next meeting a debate was held concerning the thought, “Should girls wear slacks? ” A Zeta newspaper proved very interesting at the last meeting. It was educational as well as very humorous.

Yes — they’re gone — Where? To Uncle Sam’s forces. Ralph Cole, a Frosh Engineering student left Feb. 19, for the army and Doid Raab and Bob Rathfon, both Juniors and Bill Warner, a Sophie, left the 26th tor the army air corps. Good luck, fellows!
CHAPEL
How nice it seems to hunt our seats once again in Chapel. And isn’t the new chapel an attractive place now that the improvements have been completed?
Recent guest speakers included Rev. Durham, pastor of the Baptist church who spoke on “Following Christ Fully. ” Mr. Cole also addressed the student body and used as his theme the humble crippled lad before King David. Dr. Becker gave a talk on “Making the Time Serve Me, ” and also on “The Ten points of a Good Student. ”
At the usual Student Council program, Washington’s birthday was the main feature with short talks on him given by Paul Allen and Bob Diffenbaugh. Frank Engle was toastmaster and a record made by Gilbert Carter who is in the armed forces was played to the students.
ARMY, HERE THEY COME!
Bill Stitely and Paul Seidenburg, both Frosh, will leave our midst and join the ranks of Uncle Sam’s Privates on Mar. 2. Both of the H. C. boys will carry the H. C. spirit to San Antonio, Texas. Sam Pierson, a sophomore, will leave on March 9, but is not fortunate enough to know his destination. Sammy will be missed greatly on both baseball and basketball team for he was always behind the team ready to do his share in the action. We know that he will do his part for Uncle Sam also. Sam is President of the Sophomore Class and is also serving as President of Beta Chi.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BOYS
Loew’s Frat was the scene of a memorable (?) celebration of Feb. 19, when Mr. and Mrs. Loew treated the boys to a chicken dinner in honor of the birthdays of Doid Raab and Stan Peters. Everyone had a swell time and lots to eat. Those who really did justice to the chicken were Bob Peter, Milton Schumn, Roger Birdsal, Clayton Barker, Stan, Doid, and Mr. and Mrs. Loew.Page 2 THE HUNTINGTONIAN

THEOLOGICAL NEWS
Some students in H. C. seem to
look upon the theological department
as composed of only preachers and
missionaries “in the making. " While
it is true that those feeling the specific
call of God into full-time Christian
work are preparing in this department
for a life of service, the
theological department can (and, if
given an opportunity, will) be of practical
help to every student.
In the lives of saved and unsaved,
there come questions and problems
of a spiritual nature. When in doubt
as to the moral value of a question
to what authority can one turn with
more confidence and trust than to
“what saith the Lord? ” And if one’s
immediate knowledge of the Word is
inadequate to answer the present issue,
to what source of he! pis it
more plausible to turn than to the
theological department?
The historical, doctrinal, and exegetical
knowledge which one gains
from the courses offered in this department
is that which one will find
of practical value in every day life.
The spiritual fellowship and congeniality
which one experiences in this
department will embellish the halls of
memory in his future life.
DEAR DIARY—
Here it is —another day and another
week. Things are still moving
along at school even if there is an
absence of several familiar faces. I’m
afraid we are going to have an exclusive
(? ) girls’ school here pretty
soon. I guess maybe- they are going
to have to invent something to keep
up the gals’ morale after all, the
fellows leave. It’s no longer only
the slogan “Share your car" but
“Share your guy. ” Yes, Diary, it’s
a pretty desperate time for the femmes.
Blondie took time out with “Big
Ben” and from the looks of her I
guess she really enjoyed it. Speaking
of enjoyment, Donna and Paul show
all kinds of gladness when they’re
together anymore. And Diary, Paul
A. and Rachel really make a handsome
couple, I think.
Last Tuesday our dear old school
really showed its true colors. It’s
the first I’ve really heard a good cheering
section and if there was anyone
in doubt as to how the fellows played,
they could ask anyone in town
and they would have heard that the
fellows were “Strictly in the groove. ”
Harwood was really taking great pains
to win that game and I mean that
literally. That guy is one of the best
guards that the studes in old H. C.
have seen in a long time.
Dear Diary, we are going to have
our skating party, anyway. I wonder
if Dr. Becker is going to sprain
the other wrist this time. If we have
many more skating parties, Prof. Loew
is going to be a veteran skater and
showing the true marks of the battle.
Diary, I wonder why Roge is so
anxious to go to Chicago all the time.
I’m afraid Clayt must have really fixed
him up the last time they were there
—Well Diary for now I say —Adois—
and tl at it was really swell to hear
Carter’s voice again and to hear him
say how much he liked the dear old
Alma Mater, even minus the rustling
poplars.
—Bye now----
It looks like the girls are having
trouble dividing the few remaining
boys up that are remaining on the
campus. With Warner Rathfon and
Raab getting their call to go to Miami
Beach, what are these young ladies
going to do? Maybe Connie can tell
me that. Also it will break up that
great pair Raab and Griffith who have
had so much success lately with the
Catholic girls. A little birdie told me
that Bill gave Lyda a diamond. It
seems that Lyda had better luck at
hooking him than some others around
here. —Wonder what Rubie will do
now. Poor Keppie surely will be pin-ing
over that ’35 Ford, won’t she.
Birdsall finally got a date for the
Washington Banquet, even if he did
have to wait for a certain fellow to
go home; what did you do, Rog, put
a little note in that letter that that
certain fellow got. For further news
as to what happened after the banquet,
ask Telfer and Roush. It seems
as though Bob Peter is buying a taxi
on the installment plan. I guess St te-ly
has been playing open field lately.
It seems that Tues. nite is a good time
to study in the library, ask Leora and
Harwood. Romea Hudson Stumbaughed
over to the Banquet also.
We heard that Arlo got light on his
feet with a popular street girl. We
wonder when Kloppy is going to take
the sign off Gloria. Did you hear
about Howard’s Rangers and the Commando
Tactics which some of them
practice day and night —Watch your
step girls.
Well better close this before someone
cooks our goose —just a few foul
words....
A lawsuit is civil war.
You can tell the ideals of a nation
by its advertisements.

VALPO DEFEATS FORESTERS
Valparaiso University pushed its
way to victory Tuesday night when
they defeated our Foresters 61-60.
Before the largest crowd of the season,
the Howard men put out the best
exhibition of basketball played this
year on the local floor.
Though the boys lacked in height
compared to the giants of Valpo, they
were there to show their fighting spirit
and held it until the final buzzer.
In the first half, our boys jumped
out ahead 9-2 but the score was soon
tied at 15-all. For the remainder of
the period the teams exchanged buckets,
tying the score 10 times, and to
end the first half, the Crusaders lead
34-32.
The advantage went to the visitors
in the second half beginning as
they forged ahead at one time to 10
points. But the Foresters did not
give up. With 6 minutes to play and
the score 53-61, the Foresters put out
a great offensive to hold the Crusaders
pointless for the rest of the game.
During this time the local boys scored
seven points, only to end the battle
with Valpo ahead one point. Good
work was displayed by both teams.
Hanauer and Johnson were the outstanding
scorers for the Foresters
while Harwood and Johnson carried
the brunt of the defensive end of the
job.
T—I—M—-B—E—R!!!!!!
The Huntington College “Foresters’’
fell before the powerful Manchester
team on Sat. Feb. 20, in one of our
most exciting games of the season.
Manchester started the scoring off
with a “bang” in the first few minutes
of the game by netting two baskets
and making one charity shot. It
was not long however, until the Foresters
were in the game; the result
being a close scoring duel throughout
the entire game. For several minutes
in the first half one team would manage
to score, only to be scored upon
by the other team, and so it was, basket
for basket. The score at half-time
was 30-26 in favor of the H. C. Foresters.
The first part of the second half
was much like the first half, except
that as minutes passed, the Foresters
managed to attain a fairly comfortable
lead. With six minutes remaining to
play the Foresters had a ten point
lead, but as time went on Manchester
slowly cut the lead until with just
a few seconds to play the score was
tied. This tie was however broken
A

men
by Howenstine who was responsible
for a shot from the side of the floor.
There was a foul called on this play
but Manchester declined the shot and
stalled the remaining seconds of the
game to win 59-57.
Both teams played splendid ball,
and until the final whistle blew, no one
knew for sure which team would be
victorious.

PHILO
The Philomathean Literary Society has held two of its finest heelings of the year. All members were present to enjoy the interesting programs. On February 12, the program was a patriotic one celebrating our greatest president’s birthday, that of Abraham Lincoln. An account of Lincoln’s life was given by Roger Birdsall, after which everyone gave something of interest on the life and character of Lincoln. It was truly a worth while literary program.
On Feb. 17th Philo indulged in a little more of the humorous entertainment. It was to be a spelling bee led by Prof. Burkholder, but mixed in with the spelling of words we had a sort of comedy of errors. This wasn’t enough amusement, so the members started a real parliamentary drill following the literary exercises. They started out with a motion that the president crawl under his chair, but before they were through, they had amendments to amendments to the motion to such an extent that everyone was doing something. Our poor secretary, Paul Allen, pro-tem, was kept so busy during the affair that all had to help him get motions straightened out. Then much to his disgust after the verbal battle died down and the vote taken only the original motion became affective. The fellows are looking forward to just that kind of things in the future.
At the close of the last meeting, the president announced the full plans for the project which they had been working on for so long. We are aware of the change in the chapel and how it has left the literary halls even looking worse than they did before. Philo along with Zeta has decided to remodel the Halls. A new floor like the Chapel stage floor and a ceiling like that of chapel will cost each society $200. All former Philo members and interested persons are invited to help us beat Zeta in getting our share of the expense in first. This remodeling will not only benefit the Societies, but also the College as well.
Excelsior!

GOSPEL VOLUNTEERS
The first regular meeting of the Gospel Volunteers following the election of officers was held Thursday evening in the lounge.
The meeting was opened with the song service and devotions. Rev Delbert Cress, a former student and member of the Gospel Volunteers, spoke to us on “God’s Will For Us. ” This talk was very inspirational and gave each a challenge to be in God’s will. Following the talk, Ruth Smith, Mildred Rawley and Helen Alwood sang “Ready. ”
During the business session, the possibility of holding street meetings was discussed’ but was left until a later date so that there might be further consideration and counsel.
Even though the group has been unable to hold their regular meetings, they have not been inactive. Noon prayer services have been conducted on Wednesday and Friday of each week and jail services on Saturday evening, bi-weekly. Plans are also under way for a trip to the Carmel Church on the evening of February 28th.
It is the desire of the Volunteers to be in service for Christ and to bring others to Him that they might have the joy that comes by serving Him.
CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR
Christian Endeavor workers have been quite busy since the last report. The week beginning Feb. I was internationally known as C. E. Week. It was during this week that the birthday of C. E. was celebrated —in the local society with a banquet. An evening service at the church was in charge of C. E. The program consisted of short talks by members of the society and special music by the intermediate group of Endeavors.
Everyone enjoyed the pictures on the Kentucky Miss on which were shown last Sun. nite. The pictures were explained by Rachel Atkinson as they were being shown.
It’s strange that men should call money dough. Dough sticks to your fingers.
