Gab His@man and Mary Wolfe Crowned King and Queen of Hayride
Crowned to reign over tlie 1961 Junior Class Hayride were Gale Wiseman, Scott, Ohio senior, and Mary Wolfe, Ann Arbor, Michigan senior, as the king and queen, respectively. In ceremonies held in front of the administration building at 6:30 p.m. September 30, M. I. Burkholder, dean of the college, spoke of the traditions behind this annual event. He then named the winners as selected by the student union, and the hayride was underway.
Rain, rain, and more rain soaked all but the spirits of the 125 students as the five wagons1 and truck wound their way through the country to eventually return to Huntington’s Hires Park. Those fortunate enough to have been in the forward wagons were simply soaked; those unfortunate who rode in the rearward wagons were drenched.
Upon reaching the pavilion of Hires Park, and after a semidrying session in front of a warm
Plan Poetry Contest
The National Poetry Association announces its annual competition. We urge all students who are interested in poetry to compete. There is' no limitation as to form or theme. Shorter works are preferred by the Board of Judges, because of space limitations. Each poem must be typed or printed on a separate sheet, and must bear the name and home address of the student, as well as the name of the college attended. The closing date for the submission of manuscripts by college students is November 15. Manuscripts should be sent to:

fireplace, the students were served cider and doughnuts. A lively program ensued led by Norman Van Tilburg, Mendon, Ohio senior and capable master of ceremonies.
Carol Gates, Derby, New York junior, led the crowd in the singing of appropriate campfire songs. A group of juniors, billed as the Five Wet Juniors, kept the audience in an uproar with numerous skirts interspersed with special musical selections.
Sherilee Thurston, Indianapolis, Indiana freshman, presented an accordion solo; Gale Wiseman,
senior, and Sharon Wiseman, sophomore, both from Scott, Ohio, sang in a brother-sister duet; and Dick Anderson, Highland Park, Illinois freshman, played a piano solo.
Following that phase of the program, Carol Gates led the students in singing of a couple of hymns prior to the presentation of a short devotional message by Kent Maxwell, Dayton, Washington seminary student.
.After the devotional; period, students again filed into cars for a warm dry, ride back to the campus.
Panel Discussion Studies Faith vs. Atheism
On Tuesday, September 12, a new idea was introduced into the orientation program by the Student Union. It was the formulation of a panel discussion, to which all freshmen were invited.
The panel consisted of representatives from each class, who gave their personal views on religious faith during college years. The stimulus for this discussion was provided by the article, “Protestant Church and College Student,’’ by Warren Ashby. Members of the panel were: Nondace Campbell; Naomi Wolfe; Paul Harrington; Wally Stoffel; Roger Funk, moderator; Bob Myers, seminary student; and Professor Bealer.
Professor Bealer brought out in his remarks that the college student dos not necessarily oppose the church, but looks to it for help in solving his religious problems. The Protestant churches today do not take seriously the
doubts, questions, and rejections of the mature college student and seem to suggest or invite a repression of such thought. Professor Bealer emphasized that individual thinking is encouraged here at Huntington, even to the point of questioning our faith, and that such repression does not exist on our campus. Questioning our faith will not destroy it, but will rather give us strong reasons for what we believe.
At this point the topic was given over for discussion to the audience. Many ideas were brought forth to stimulate thinking to wider fields.
The objective of the discussion was not only to give the freshmen an opportunity to express themselves, but to challenge their and the doing to challenge their own faiths. It is the feeling of those who attended that the discussion was well accepted and will probably continue successfully in future years.
Dr. Laubach Urges Drive For Literacy
Dr. Frank C. Laubach attempted to move the parents, professional people, and students of this city to action with his recent message of urgency for the education of illiterates the world over in the fight against Communism.
Dr. Laubach, who has brought literacy to millions of people in under-developed countries by his method of “Each one teach one”, was called the “World’s Literacy Missionary” by Time Magazine. His appearance at the First Presbyterian Church was sponsored by the Huntington County Ministerial Association.
Dr. Laubach quoted Lenin’s statement that “if we are to conquer the world we must be educated,” to illustrate that if America is going to act in time to win the race with Communism, she must immediately teach the under-developed peoples of the world to read.
Americans have been partly responsible for the large amount of illiteracy because we have been so pre - occupied with making our country the greatest in the world that we have not been interested in what was happening in the rest of the world, said Laubach.
This should be to our sname because as Dr. Laubach stated, it has been the U. S. missionaries and doctors who have lengthened the life-span of the world’s dark areas to twice what it was and have cut the infant mortality rate down considerably. So while we have increased the world’s population, we have neglected to supply food for them through educational and agricultural means. Because of this, we have no right to stick our heads in the sand and glibly say we are isolationists.
Although the government in Washington has become terribly concerned, Laubach believes that “the government should not be the agency required to help these people. Compassion is the work of religions.. America is lost unless we get out and help the world. Some think it is lost already. I don’t, though it is eleven o’clock at night. . . The government should do all it can, but it is the churches of America that must do the work.”
He proposed what he calls an “Army of Compassion,” by which he asks Christians to join in groups of 100 to give ¥1.00 per week each, which is ¥5200 per year for each group. Based on the number of churches in A- merica, this plan would provide $2,800,000 to carry on the struggle against Communism on the educational front.
Swineheart, Griffin To Head Frosh Class
Elected as officers for the 1961- 62 Freshman class were David Swineheart, president from Columbia City, Indiana; Dave Griffin, vice-president from Bremen, Ohio; Connie Johnson1, secretary from Rockford, Ohio; Bruce Potee, treasurer from Rome City, Ind.
Doug Rheam, former resident of Grand Rapids, Michigan, was elected Student Council representative with Ron Shortz from Portland, Michigan, named to serve as alternate.
Roma Jean Swindler of Huntington County was selected for the office of library representative.

POLICY
“The truth shall make you free.” That motto is proudly emblazoned on the seal of Huntington College, and1 reminds us of our primary duty as newspapermen and women — to tell the truth.
We shall at all times be conscientious in searching out the wnoie truth on all isisues and honest in printing that truth.
At the same time, we recognize that there may exist honest differences of opinion on many issues, from campus affairs to world affairs. It is our opinion that truth flourishes best in an atmosphere of open discussion.
To that end1, we will occasionally print opinions which are not shared by the editorial board of this paper, but which we feel are of sufficient importance to warrant their publication.
All students, faculty members, and other readers are cordially invited to express tiheir opinions in writing on any subject in the form of letters to the editor. These must be signed, but the name of the writer will be withheld from publication if we are so requested. JNO anonymous letters will be considered for publication.
Up For Discussion ...
During the past three weeks, many of us have been asking ourselves the question, “Is initiation a good thing or isn’t it?”
One answer is that given by the upperclassmen. They take me attitude of indifference, because this was something that tney tnem- selves had to go through. The administration also seems to take tne same attitude because it has ayways been done. Because it is tradition, it passes with an “O. K.” sign on it; but does this actually maKe it right? Isi it right for you to impose your vengeance on someone else because of tradition or indifference, especially someone you nave never met and therefore could have nothing against? This reasoning is rather foolish, so let us probe a little deeper and find a sud- stantial reason for our seemingly fatuous actions.
It is believed by some people that the actions of initiation ween: tend to draw the freshmen1 into one body. While tolerating the abuses of the upperclassmen, a certain mutual appreciation is nourished, for each realizes what the other is going through. This can easily be explained by the age-old adage, "misery loves company.”
A student,; fresh out of high school, has the idea that he is now someone to be recognized, for he has accomplished something of merit. Because of this merit he has a sense of superiority, which must be •done away with upon entering college. This duty falls into tne capable hands of the upperclassmen. It is his task to discourage mis feeling of capability in the freshman and humble him to subserviency. This method of humbling takes many faces. It requires those wno use the sidewalk to apologize to it, not while standing on it, but rather while on all fours next to it. On a specified day any upperclassman may use two simple words and get a response never before seen. Tne neophyte is required to place a sack over his head or stand in, a box and act like an escapee from some asylum. This is, of course, the proper approach to a higher education.
It is wondered what the upperclassmen are actually afraid of when the freshman - sophomore tug-o-war comes around. Is it the fear of breaking tradition or the fear or being beaten that makes them ng the “game”? It iis surely not the fear of being beaten, but pernaps it is the fear of being humiliated. They know that they do not ime humiliation, so they therefore take steps to prevent Its happening under the guise of tradition. What happens when a freshman tries to avoid this degradation by one means or another? He is either pegged as a poor sport or an officer of the administration, informs him of his proper position.
Dr. Oliver E. Byrd has said in his book entitled Health: "The em- tional problems that have the greatest intensity as well as next to tne greatest frequency in normal college students, are: a sense of inferiority, lack of self-confidence, feelings of insecurity, and seit-conscious- ness.”
If this be true, then our type of initiation is doing practically tne opposite of what is intended. We have no responsibility to make tne freshman humble because, if he is normal, he already feels insecure and lacks self confidence, two components which are neeessry to make a person feel superior.
What is the answer to the question? Obviously no one answer or validity can be given, but some ideas can be expressed. Do tne readers of these brief remarks have opinions on the questions raised .' If so, the writer and the editors would be interested in receiving them in written form.
" Sedatives ©r S@iuti©frss"
In Genesis we find the story of a fearful catastrophe that brought with it a great opportunity. It was the kind of situation we face today; the modern parallels are startling.
God, we read, was about to vent His wrath upon the world. He directed Noah to build an ark in which lie and his family could survive along with the animals lie had chosen. Then God sent the rains for forty d'ays and nights. Finally the rains ceased and Noah came out upon dry land. Through this experience Noah was given a chance to build a new world, but what did Noah do? He planted a vineyard and became drunk with wine.
This is a disgusting picture; yet it is not an unusual one. Time and again many people have had opportunities to change the world, but have failed. Many folks seek sedatives rather than solutions.
What will you have: sedatives for yourselves or solutions for the world? Many of you at Huntington College will have a chance to solve the problems of a new era. Will you solve them or will you instead become part of those problems? Do you ask “What can I get out of life” or “What can I contribute to mankind?”
I challenge you to this all-important task. If you meet the challenge, I am sure there will be written, as a final summation of your life, a better epitaph than was written of Noah - “And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years and he died”.
LETTER TO EDITOR
Dear Editor:
Nearly every student at Huntington College is presently required to attend assembly four times per week. To require everyone to do so demands that much attention be given to the total scope of the program. However, after three years of attendance, it is my opinion that far too little money, time, and administrative attention have been given to the planning of an effective assembly series.
For example, it has been generally assumed that the present program aids the college in achieving some of its acknowledged objectives, whether they be academic or spiritual. However, in recent years there have been no systematic attempts to discover if the assembly programs are aiding in the achievement of any of these objectives.
I am well aware of the difficulties involved in planning superior assembly periods. Faculty, administrative, and student personnel are often far too busy to spend any extended time in organizing long-range assembly planning.
However, I do believe that steps can be taken to help improve the quality of assemblies, which will subsequently aid in the attainment of the school’s basic academic, spiritual, and cultural goals. For example, if assembly were held for one hour twice weekly, more planning could be put into each program.
I am also well aware that the counter - argument to the example is that as Davis Hall becomes more and more crowded, we may need four periods in order to accommodate everyone even twice weekly. I would ask, though, if four inadequately planned half- hour programs are inherently better than two one-hour programs, if they are equal or superior to the former half-hour ones.
Other alternatives might be discussed. This is1 not, however, my basic purpose in writing. I am asking that a critical look be taken at the present assembly traditions.

Admission or Decay ?
The United Nations is an international body founded for the prevention of war and the betterment of living conditions. Surprising as it may seenn, a country with a population cf over 6S0 million and an area of approximately 12,000 square miles is not represented in that organization. The country is Pted China, and the question of its admission has raged since that power first came into existence In 1950. Under the leadership of the United States, debate on this touchy subj'ect has been continuously postponed in the United Nations. This year the tide has turned. With the support of the Afro-Asiam bloc, which disagrees with the American position by a ratio of four to one, a debate will probably be scheduled in the UN on this question.
Let us face reality. Red China should be admitted into the United Nations. If the United Nations is to be a true family of nations, it cannot long ignore and expel the government of over one-fifth of the world’s population. To do so, would make a mockery of the UN's purpose of existence. The principal argument against Red China’s admission is the charge that that country is not peace loving and has designs of conquering the whole world. This charge has been attack by many Asian and African nations, by America’s ally, Britain, and neutralist India. The United Nations is not a “club restricted to good governments.” It is an assembly of all governments — good1 and bad —with the main purpose of discussing problems at the conference table and not in the battlefield. If Red China continues her aggressions, would it not be better to attempt to suppress her through the pressures and controls of the UN? If there is to be any settlement of the disarmament question, how can we omit Red China? Experts agree that Red China will probably build an atomic bomb within five years. The United Nations cannot force a non-member to agree to a disarmament plan. Non-participation by Red China would make such a plan a huge farce.
The only question remaining is when and how Red China will be admitted. It is only a matter of time until Red China becomes a full-fledged member of the UN. The problem is whether Nationalist China or Red China should occupy the United Nations seat. Most of the delegates to the UN feel that both factions should be represented. A Chinese Communist veto would constitute no change in the present system, for Russia has had the veto power from the start. It is time for us to wake up. Without Red China the United Nations cannot achieve its lofty goal of peaceful international relations, nor can it hope to be a true world wide organization.
The above article represents the thinking of its writer on this
complex subject that has plagued the thoughts of many1, of us for quite some time. His views are not those of the editorial board or The Huntingtonian, but because of the importance of the problem and of intelligent discussion of it, we feel that they should be presented. If this article provokes mature discussion of the situation, it will have amply justified itself.
“Red China’s entry into the U. N. would be the most catastrophic event since Munich!”
Thus does a leading American military authority launch an outspoken attack on the possibility of Communist China’s admittance to the United Nations and on those who would help her gain entry.
Writing in the October Readers Digest, Admiral Arthur Radford warns: “If Red1 China were admitted to the U. N., that body would be rendered ineffective. Its entire character would change.”
The former chairman of the U. S. Joint Chiefs of Staff points out that the Communist tactics of deceit and delay in negotiation, which dragged the Korean armistice talks out over two years and 500 meetings, would stifle action by the U. N. any time the Reds so willed it.
Radford tables “completely defeatist” the sentiments, voiced by U. N. Ambassador Adilai Stevenson and Under Secretary of State Chester Bowles, that Red China must be a U. N. member to be included1 in disarmament negotiations. He says:
“Red China does not have to be in the U. N. to discuss disarmament and j'oin in agreements. We have dealt with her numerous times over the Korean and Indochina armistices, reciprocal renunciation of force and the release of our citizens.”
But the most pressing reasons for refusing to seat Red China revolve around moral issue, Radford says. The U. N. charter insists that applicant nations be peace - loving. This adjective hardly applies to a nation which is governed by an outlaw regime which has murdered IS million Chinese in 12 years, which has been denounced by the U. N. itself as an aggressor against world peace, and which continues to threaten war if its every demand1 is not met.
Radford suggests that the United States consider withdrawal from the U. N. if Red China gains entry.
Seating the Communists, he states, “will indicate plainly that a majority of the present member countries are in lavor of destroying the charter as it was originally written. It will mean that the character of the U. N. organization has changed so completely that It win no longer be in our national interest to associate our country with its actions.”
On the eve of another meeting of the U. N. General Assembly, Baa- ford’s words are worth pondering; they represent a sideable segment of American opinion.
Can You Answer These Questions Positively?
What would you do in the event of an atomic attack if you were sitting in a classroom) listening to a lecture? Would you run, sit still, panic, or listen to directions given you? Should' there he’ such an attack, there would be no place to go except to the Basement. Even in the basement, it is doubtful whether there would be enough room mr all the students if it happened in the middle of the day when all the classes are in session.
What would the professor do if there were an attack without warning? Every professor should be able to direct each student to a place of safety. I wonder if the professors are prepared for such an event. If they a,re not, I suggest that some studying be done in connection with air raid regulations.
Does Huntington College provide air raid1 shelters) in every Burning, or near every building, which are suitable? To the best of my knowledge there is no place in the men’s dormitory where eighty people could be protected from radiation. Such a place must be away irom windowis, and it should be strong enough to withstand any strong Blast from the outside.
What would you do, if you were in the dormitory when such a disaster struck? There is no place to run. In, the Basement there are more windows than there are in the rooms. There are no food, stuffs except those in the kitchen, and anyone trapped in the gins dormitory would be unable to eat without endangering her life.
Do you have an air raid shelter in your home? If not, would your family be safe in time of attack? It is the duty of every emigntenea student to discuss such safety measures with his parents and convince them that they are responsible as parents for providing such safeguards.
No one anticipates any disaster that might make the above measures necessary, but we must realize that we are living in a world precariously balanced on jealousy, assumption, and political pride. Which one is the most dangerous, no one knows. But we must remember that the other side of. the world) is closer to us now than for a place fifty miles away was half a century ago. There is no reason panic, but this is no time to have our guard down. Will you be -safe?

Librarian Shows European Slides
The Coffee Hour on Friday evening, September 22, in the Faculty Lounge, attracted some thirty faculty and students. The main objective of the Coffee Hour, a regular activity open to all students and faculty, is to acquaint those attending with a rich store of literature.
During this first meeting of the year, Miss Connor, as hostess, presented pictures which were taken during her recent Europ- pean tour. While those present were taken on a quick but illuminating trip through Scotland, England, Italy, Austria, Germany and Switzerland, several readings supplemented the purely visual •experiences, Miss Crown, Mrs. Mueller, Mrs. Dutcher and Mr. Zurcher read selections from such great authors as Lordi Byron and Robert Browning, who ey- pressed themselves in their day on viewing the same sights enjoyed by Miss Connor and, at second - hand, by her audience. It was a very enjoyable trip for all. At the conclusion of this visual and literary tour through Europe, strictly American refreshments of punch and cookies were served.
The October Coffee Hour, which will meet at 9:00 p.m. on Monday evening, October 16, in the Faculty Lounge, will feature a review by Mr. Fred R. Conkling, Professor of English, of the book, Show Me A Miracle. All faculty and students are cordially invited to avail themselves of the stimulating talk and the delicious refreshments.
Hike, Anyone?
After a week of freshmen tests and registration, the Y-Mixer, sponsored jointly by the YMCA and the YWCA, came as a welcome relief Friday, September 15.
Students and faculty members •assembled in the cafeteria at 7:30 p.m. for a variety program. Don Kline acted as master of ceremonies and the program consisted of two vocal numbers by Thomas Shultz, assistant professor of music, accompanied on the piano by Mr. Goode, assistant Professor of Music a guitar and accordion duet by Darrell Oven- shire and Bruce Musselman, a piano solo by Ardith Martin, of Defiance, Ohio, and a skit by four freshmen girls, Jayne Frank of Montgomery, Michigan, Sandra Bowditch of Toledo, Ohio, Karen Headley of Stryker, Ohio, and Nondace Campbell of Plillsdale, Michigan.
In the roll call of states, Michigan seemed to have the greatest representation.
After the program the freshmen were given a tour of the college woods by means of a rope hike. The hike began at the cafeteria, proceeded down College Avenue, across to the woods and ended at the bonfire, where, after devotions by Doyle Clark, the evening was climaxed with a weiner roast.

' Bows on Their Toes'
The YWCA Big and Little Sis party was held in Wright Dining Hall on the evening of September 25. It didn’t take the freshmen girls long to get acquainted with their “Big Sisses” when they had to get he signatures of girls with bows on their shoes, green eyes, red hair •or pink lipstick, etc.
SPORTS
PRE - RS - VIEW
BASKETBALL
Twenty - one men are taking part in the basketball conditioning drills which started last week. Coach Klopfenstein reports that the fellows are working hard and are showing a lot of enthusiasm. He is non-committal, however, on the team's prospective strength at this time. One definite bright spot is the good crop of freshmen taking part in the practices.
TRACK AND FIELD
Coach Richard Klopfenstein has been named chairman of a conference committee to set up a track program and also a minor sports program for the Mid-Central Conference. Other members of this committee are: Mr. Macy, Athletic Director at Indiana Tech, and Mr. Woolman, Assistant Coach at Grace.
This year the field and track team and also the cross-country team will be on a trial basis, whereby the continuation of these teams next year will be determined by the amount of interest shown this year. The number of events that Huntington participates in will be determined by the interest and participation of the student body.
Bowling has been dropped from the conference program this year and will henceforth be included in the minor sports- program.
TENNIS
Opening the 1961 season with a resounding 6 - 1 victory over Grace College, Huntington’s tennis team received a boost to their title hopes.
The Foresters will face the Goshen netmen tomorrow, and Indiana Tech on Monday while the first home match will be with Tri-State on October 14 at 1:30 p.m.

Oh, you poor Freshmen were just soft putty in the hands of the Sophomore class. The majority of you wore those funny looking beanies every day, accompanied by the dog ags. What is even harder to believe is that you obeyed us and didn’t walk on the sidewalks and didn’t use the front doors of any buildings for one day. However, the climax was reached on slave day, when the freshmen carried out any reasonable request made by an upperclassman. To those few freshmen who failed to comply with our wishes and who were sent to the Kangaroo Court to face the jury, I must express my sincere esteem for your bravery. Indeed it must have been very difficult facing thirty people holding eggs that were to be thrown at you.
Last year the efforts of the Sophomores to force us to wear the beanies were to no avail. We were taken for a ride just as you were, and most of us enjoyed it after a. considerable length of time had elapsed. But, we never used the side doors of the buildIf

ings. They couldn’t stop a group of twenty guys from entering. In retaliation for this insubordination, the Sophomores tried to water balloon us, but once again they fell in ignominous defeat.
In retrospect I can say that the freshman initiation has been significantly improved, thanks to a change in the attitude of the administration! and the student body. I thought the freshman initiation was a tremendous success and certainly hope that next year will be even bigger and better and worse.October 6, 1961 THE HUNTINGTONIAN Page 3

Watch the freshmen get pulled through the river. They get soaking wet. They look very funny. See the sophomores laugh and laugh and laugh.
See the freshmen organize. See the freshmen mob the sophomores. See the sophomores. . .
Kangaroo Court
“This court is how in session!” The improvised courtroom of the college gymnasium quickly quieted as the dignified, stern-faced Judge Harold Cherry proceeded to call the travesty of a court to order Friday, September 22. Four upperclassmen had been asked to serve as the jury: Larry Beverly, Roger Funk, Mark Rutledge, and Gale Wiseman.
Summoned before the stand as the most serious female offender was Constance L. Johnson. The defendent pleaded guilty to the charges of flagrant violation of rules for freshman initiation, as determined by the sophomores. Sentenced to face four male members of the faculty, Professors Buzzard, Lange, Paine, and Scott, the culprit was then asked to choose the man she would most like to have for a husband and propose to him.
After having been refused by the professor, she then was required to give three reasons why he may have been forced to refuse her.
Robert Caley, Norman Glass, and Ronald Shortz as the three outstanding male offenders were summoned to the stand. All three pleaded innocent to the charges preferred; however, the jury found them guilty and sentenced them to push pennies half the length of the gym floor. The first to finish was awarded the three pennies.
All other violators were called before the court, found guilty, and were escourted en masse to the old tennis courts to receive their sentence. In an attempt to give the freshmen a chance to get even with the sophomores, an egg throwing contest was declared. Several sophomores, laden with eggs, came onto the tennis court opposite the freshmen. Meanwhile an unbiased referee,
Fall Reception Held Sept. 19
These “Musical Manikins” appeared at the annual Student-Faculty reception on September 19. They are Nancy Martin, a senior from Detroit, Mich., Sharon Weisman, a sophomore from Scott, Ohio, and Barbara Mueller, Huntington, former H. C. Student.
New students were formally presented to the administration and faculty at the annual Student-Faculty reception on Tuesday, September 19. The reception, which was well attended by the entire student body, was the first important social event of the school year.
After the introductions, the students were invited to go on guided tours through Wright Memorial Hall, Livingston Hall, and the Loew Alumni Library.
Refreshments of punch, assorted tea cookies, candy mints, and mixed nuts were served. The refreshment table was attractively- decorated with a floral center- piece of bronze, yellow, and burnt - orange chrysanthemums, and roped with satin ribbons of the same colors.
Following the refreshments, a unique program was presented1 in the form of a story portraying a freshman’s first hours in the city of Huntington, and on the college campus. Featured items included a ladies’ trio composed of Barbara Mueller, of Huntington, Sharon Weisman, Scott, Ohio, sophomore, and Nancy Martin, Detroit, Michigan, senior, who sang “It’s A Grand Night for Singing” from State Fair by Rogers and Hammerstein. The reading “Goodby, Helen” by
Gwendolyn Brown was given by Mrs. Robert Paine. Arper Stire, Cleveland, Ohio, sophomore favored the group with a trumpet solo, “Onward1 Christian Soldiers.” Mrs. Richard Klopfenstein sang “Homing” by Teresa Del Riego. Ardith Martin, Defiance, Ohio, sophomore, provided the piano accompaniment throughout the program and played as a solo the first movement of Beethoven’s “MoonL light Sonata.” A vocal duet, “Till There Was You” from The Music Man by Meredith Wilson, was sung by Mr. and. Mrs. Thomas Schultz. Carl Zurcher, Registrar of Huntington College read the script. Gass’s Ladies Shop in downtown Huntington provided the ladies’ fashions modeled by the trio.

Tips on Togs
By Rink and Link
Greetings from Rink and Link, your own H. C. men of fashion bringing you the latest fads in the collegiate world. We are men of esoteric, ecclesiastical knowledge, and our purpose in writing this column is to share with you, the men and women of Huntington College, our treasure of knowledge on what is the newest in the fashion world.
“Where culture and character blend,” our college’s own slogan, exemplifies the importance of being well groomed and fashion minded. To attain culture is, in one sense, to know how to dress properly, and when culture is achieved, so is success. In many cases, a person makes a first impression by the way he is dressed. Whether this be bad or good, the impression made will be in harmony with the quality of his taste. William Shakespeare indicated the value of proper dress when he said, “Costly the habit as thy purse can buy, But not express’d and fancy; rich, not gaudy; For the apparel out proclaims the man.”
In subsequent articles, we are going to share with you our knowledge of stylish dress', direct from the fashion world. Yours truly, Rink, and the paragon of fashion himself, my sidekick Link, are going to be on1 the go; so when asked, we can say, “We are the ones who really know.” From Bast to West, North to South, remember “Cats” we are the boys who have the “Tips on Togs.” Cordially Yours,
Rink and Link

sophomore class president A1 Price, began giving the freshmen their “eggs”, strangely similar in size, color, texture, density and taste to marshmallows.
“Fire!” called the referee, and the freshmen came off the courts dripping with albumen, yolk, and egg shells. The sophomores walked off unscathed.
Freshmen, having withstood the tests and inconveniences, came one step closer to being accepted as a part of the group; as a part of Huntington College.
