ORPHEUS PRESENTS SACRED CONCERTPhilosophers Discuss Man’s PredicamentRev. F. Reads

ReedyPaper

At the December meeting of the Platonian Philosophical So­ciety a t the home of the ¿fc>on- sons, Dr. and Mrs. S. S. White, Rev. Fred Reedy made a presen­tation of the recently published book, The Predicament of Mod­em Man, by D. E. Trueblood. Rev. Reedy, an alumnus of Oli­vet Nazarene College, is pastor of the Church of the Nazarene at Olivet, Illinois. He was presi­dent of the senior class, and president of the Student Body of 1942-1943.

After Rev. Reedy’s excellent re­view, the group entered into the discussion period with an interest that indicated the seriousness with which it deliberated the propounded evils of the world to­day, and remedies as set forth by Dr. Trueblood.

Physics & Chemistry Equipment Added

During the past month, the office of the Physics and Chem­istry department has been entire­ly redecorated, and a beautiful linoleum has been laid. These im l provements lend a decidedly pro­fessional touch to the office.

New instruments and supplies which are now on order and will contribute much to the enlarge­ment of the science department include a new combustion furnace and rheostat, steam bath, poten­tiometer, an extraction assemblyl stirring motor, and all types of glassware. These materials will increase the efficiency with which students shall be able to carry out experimentation, and add much to the reinforcement of equipment now available to them.

ORPHEUS SINGS ORATORIO < . .This fourteenth presentation of the immortal “Messiah” was de­

dicated “to the many members of the Orpheus Choir who are serv­ing our country in its fighting forces and on the home front,” and sung before an audience of about 850.

Rev. L. J. Dubois Is Speaker At Christmas Dinner

The annual all-school Christmas dinner was held in the college dining hall a t 6:30 p. m. Monday, December 18. The guest. speaker was the Rev. L. J. Dubois, general N.Y.P.S. secretary of the Church of the Nazarene. Rev. Dubois re­ceived his Bachelor of A rts . de­gree from Northwest Nazarene College in 1939, and his Master of Arts degree from the Univer­sity of Idaho.

The string ensemble presented several arrangements of Christ­mas carols and a trio composed of Lois Gray, Marion Davidson, and Kathryn Zook sang.

Members of the committee on arrangements were Mrs. Wayne Donson, Paxil Noble, and Dudley Powers.

NOTICE, ALUMNI!Due to the fact that i t is cost­

ing more, to have the GLIMMER- GLASS printed this year, it will be impossible for the Alumni As­sociation to continue to send it free to paid-up members of the Association. We have to pay the Staff four cents a copy for each issue and the postage is one and one-half cents. Thus if we send you eighteen issues, that will to­tal ninety-nine cents. The dues are $1.00 per year. See where that puts the treasury? We are soijTy, .but we just can’t do i t on the present Alumni dues. How­ever, if you do want to continue to get the GUMMERGLASS, if you will send us 50 cents (in addition to your dues), which is one-half the subscription price, we will continue to send the GT.TM- MERGLASS to you. Sorry but that is the best we can do.

'Singapore Joe’ Fisher Shows Pacific Sites

Club Members Are Entertained At Country Club PartyThe Olivet English Guild cele­

brated its first Christmas with music, dinner, and poetry, last evening a t the Kankakee Country Club. During the dinner the string ensemble played Christmas carols. Miss Emily Bushey, senior, and president of the Gxiild, presented each Guildsman with a program booklet for the year.

The program featured the ori­ginal literary compositions of the Guild members. Miss Caryl An­drews read her apprenticeship paper, which was a coalition of Christmas scriptures. A Symphon- ette of Christmas lyrics, read respectively by the authors, in-

cluded: “Snow” and “Night” by Norman Bloom M ‘ ‘Works of God Profound” by Bethel Smith; “In­dian Summer” and “Man” by Corlnne Kauffman; “This is Christmas” by Winifred Templin.

Professor Oakley Ethington sang “O Holy Night” and Miss Kathryn Zook sang Pietro Yon’s “Bambino.”

Miss Bushey’s paper entitled “Echoes of American Democracy’ which was presented a t the Nov­ember meeting was also read to the chapel audience. The paper concluded with the thought that America, like the early Pilgrim fathers, must remember her God in hxunility and Thanksgiving.

“Singapore Joe” Fisher, master showman of Malaya, presented his geographic film “The Pacific Aflame” Dec. 11, a t the Kan­kakee High School. This was the fourth program in the series of Community Forms presented by the Kiwanis club.

Bom a t the Cape of Good Hope, South Africa, Mr. Fisher has journeyed fourteen times around the world. These trips were not made as a tourist, but as a phil­osopher and business man seeking material for lectures as well as seeking adventure. He went with Safaris across the Kalahari Des­ert, on trips of exploration to .the soxirce of the Yangtze river and up the coast of Africa where he was shipwrecked. (He traveled extensively in India, Burma, Mal­aya, the Dutch East Indies and China.)

A keen xmderstanding of people as well as a lively appreciation of scenic and news values contri­buted to his success in presenting the illustrated lecture. The film was completed just five days be­fore Pearl Harbor and showed many places of combat in the Pacific as they were before the war. The countries, customs, peo­ple and natxiral splendors made up the plot and action. I t was a good substitute for a journey to these far away places.

All Girls Meet At Yule Party

The Big-Little Sister Club held its annual Christmas Party Tues­day evening in the college parlors. Games and stunts followed by the singing of waits comprised the entertainment, after which lunch was served.

Gifts were presented to Miss Mildred Durigg, Mrs. Russell Mur­phy, and Miss Florence Franz, and gifts were exchanged.

"Messiah” Sung To Edify And Exalt

Written in twenty-four days and first presented in 1742 for charitable purposes under the personal direction of the compos­er, the “Messiah” of Handel breathed again its ineffable spirit as the Orpheus Choir sang Sun­day evening a t the Kankakee High School Auditorium.

Walter B. Larsen, conductor, directed the thirty-nine choir members with feeling and Inti­mate sympathy. His expressive baton brought forth moods vary­ing from the magnificent attack in Worthy is the Lamb that was

Academy Enjoys Festive Party Saturday Eve

On the cold, wintry Saturday night of December 16, the under­grade of the Academy could be seen trekking their way toward the gymnasium for a Yuletide Plaid Shirt Party given them by the Academy seniors. As they entered the door, a dazzle of red and green crepe paper and large silver bells and mistletoe made a background for the singing of Christmas carols, led by the mas­ter of ceremonies, Don Wellman.

Skits and games followed, un­der the direction of the party chairman, Wilma Lietsch. Santa Claus, alias Bob Hendricks, pass­ed out hot dogs, potato chips, and cold cokes from his chimney.

College Museum Grows As New Habitat Is Added

By Dwight J. Strickler, Head of the Department of

Biological Sciences

There is a new college museum on the horizon. As the time for its realization draws nearfl this story tells why a museum is needed and how it is planned! this is the story of its birth and its future.

About the year 1930, when Oli­vet Nazarene College was located a t Olivet, Illinois, Prof. D. J. Strickler took over the work of building a school collection, which ended in a total loss in the fire of 1939.

What Is New in Museums Meanwhile, a new era in muse­

ums has begun. Systematic col­lections no longer are the sole contents of progressive museums. Exhibits are being designed not only to preserve scientific' mater­ial, but to attract, to illustrate, to present some bearing on school interests, on everyday life and

its wonders.The germ of this new work has

taken root and is located on the third floor of the Administration building in Rooms 31 and 32.

Eigsti Builds Winter ExhibitTo serve the college as it should,

Mr. W. E. Eigsti, a specialist from Chicago Natural History Museum, was secured to assist in the technical work. “The Marsh Scene,” was completed by him in 1943. Through the effort of Mr. Eigsti, “The Winter Habi­ta t” is nearing completion. Twenty-five winter birds of this locality will be shown in their natural home.

As the finishing touches are being made, this habitat group reads like a nature story: All day and all night the snow swirl­ed down from the North, wind carved the drifts into marble architecture, capping each ridge and loading each twig. Morning— and the sky clears to a dazzling

MOMENTSTHOUGHTFUL

CHRISTMAS CONCEPTS By Forrest Whitlatch

The Christmas season finds a warm reception in the hearts of every man, woman, boy, and girl. Yet, I wonder what conception of Christmas the majority of peo­ple possess. Let us honestly con­sider the question, “What is my concept of Christmas?”

Perhaps there are two general classes into which fall our con­cepts of Christmas — the out­ward or objective and the inward or subjective. In the first class are those who regard the Christ­mas season as merely a time of exchanging gifts, receiving and sending Christmas cards, and visiting friends. The 25th day of December is thought of as a day of rest from our regular week­day tasks as the family enjoys a big dinner. This is what I mean by an objective concept of Christmas. Of course, this regard for the holiday season is not to be ruled out for it has its place, but far too many people stop here and in doing so make a grave mistake.

Christmas is the day commem­orating the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who came to this world that all mankind might have a plan of full salva­tion and deliverance from sin. Of all times, it should be the sea­son in which we invite the living Christ into our own hearts and lives. This is what I mean by the subjective concept of Christmas. As we give gifts, go home for vacation, visit our friends, etc. during this holiday season of 1944, let us not fail to recognize the real meaning of Christmas. If you do not know Christ, earn­estly seek His presence in your heart. If Jesus is in your heart, may this Christmas find you serv­ing Him more wholeheartedly than ever before. We must not forget Christ’s purpose in coming to this world of sin. In John 10:10 Jesus Himself says: “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” Also, in his first epistle to Timothy the Apostle Paul declares, “This a faithful saying, and worthy of all accept­ation, that Christ Jesus came in­to the world to save sinners.”

“ Messiah” Sung To(Continued from Page 1)

slain, to the finest of delicate shadings in Surely He hath borne our griefs.

Excellent RenditionHarold Lawrence, lyric tenor

soloist, in the opening recitative and air—Comfort ye my people, and Every Valley Shall be ex­alted—sang with ease and with­out apparent effort, his tone qual-j ity keeping in true character with the thought.

Frances Bradley, contralto so­loist^ singing in the air—He was despised and rejected of men— exhibited a voice full, round, well placed, and perfectly colored. She sang as always naturally and with grace.

His appearances marked by a voice full, rich, and resonant, Ro­bert Killion, baritone soloist,, in —Why do the nations so furious­ly rage together—presented a maturer, richer execution of the air whose rapid cadenzas call for excellent technique.

Marion Davidson, her trills and cadenzas accomplished with the ease and brilliancy that belong to naturally gifted singers, sang with great flexibility—Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion, and finished in fine quality and extensive compass—I know that my , Re­deemer liveth.

The accompaniest has a some­what thankless task, but Earle Mitchell a t the Hammond organ, deserves mention for his excel­lent musicianship.

Rev. Walter C. Morris intro­duced Dr. A. L. Parrott who gave the invocation thanking God for the “hope in Christ that mak­es for righteousness,” in this season of war’s sorrows and de­vastation.

A bluejay screams to a screech owl, and out across the morning sky comes the crow. Visit Museum in Rooms 31 and 32

Also, Mr. Eigsta is supervising the modeling of a series of the developing chick, a project which is- greatly stimulating the stu­dents in the class in Embryology. Another project of note is the constructing of a relief map of Palestine for the Bible Depart­ment.

This then is our Museum of today. As we look into the future we see one of prominence among other colleges in America-

All are welcome to visit and see just what makes a museum live and the charm it holds for those who would learn more of the world in which they live: '

G. I. BRIEFS“I really enjoyed the,trip down.

The South along the gulf coast isn’t anything like I thought. it would be. Instead of cotton fields and plantations, I saw mostly for­est and swamps dotted here and there along the railroad —- and small ill-kept shanties housing the southern Negro. I t certainly seems that there is plenty of room for missionary work right here in our own southland.

“The base at which I am sta­tioned is' very pretty. Originally a hotel, it is a large white struc­ture surrounded by lawn and beautiful palm trees, ’the weather is such that we take our physical training in swimming trunks and get a lot of good, semi-tropical sunshine. Some of the fellows who went to the beach last week-end have nice red backs. And to think it’s wintertime—home was never like this.”

INVESTIGATION OF O CLUBS RESULTS IN WEIGHTY DATA

At the recent progressive Christmas party a t which the Future Teachers of Olivet were entertained, the report of the Committee on Investigation of O Clubs, made up of John Hieftje and assistants Esther Kendall, Marjorie Howe and Jane Starr was presented. This is the first of a series of reports to be made by the club members. These re­ports are to be analyzed and re­commendations made by the Ex­ecutive Committee and the re­port of the findings will then be presented to the Chapter for ammendment. The final draft of the reports will be printed and bound.

After the singing of waits, and games conducted by Darlene Christiansen, the sponsor, Miss Kathryn Howe was presented with a gift. The second seal was af­fixed to the Chapter’s Charter, by Darlene Zimmerman, secre­tary. Miss Howe was hostess to the group as colorful refreshments were served.

Indian Men Upset Spartans In ThrillerBox ScoresIn The Gym

and

On The FieldBY JOHN HIEFTJE

The annual meeting of base­ball’s representatives held in New York City closed this week and left all concerned realizing the fact tha t “baseball faces a stiff struggle for existence.” The new manpower edict that calls for men up to thirty-seven years-of- age directly affects approximately one hundred-fifty men who played big league baseball last summer. This factor was essential in af­fecting trades th a t usually come about in those meetings. The only manager to bring new faces into his lineup was Jimmy Dykes of the Chicago White Sox. Thus with few exceptions the players of last season will be wearing the same uniform they wore a t the close of last season.

By boosting the number of play­ers allowed each team from 40 to 48 in the off-season and from 25 to 30 during the summer, pro­vision was made for the rehiring of returned servicemen who have been discharged from the Armed Service.

Speaking of servicemen we were delightfully surprised to meet a former classmate and athletic competitor in Chicago last week­end, Harvey Finley, who is pre­paring for Navy chaplaincy. Con­nie Clendenen looked right neat in his Navy uniform. He has been one of the outstanding athletes here a t Olivet for the past four years, and was the coach of hte Indian men last year. Lt. Cliff Bryant, former Trojan second baseman, looked his “old self” a- gain as he worked out with Con­nie in the gym. We were also surprised to see Cpl. Sam Munn on the campus on his way home for Christmas.

This department of the Glim- merglass wants to wish all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, with the gentle re­minder that, though absence mak­es the heart grow fonder, we want to see you all back after the holidays.

Bring Out Ice Skates Snow, Cold Weather

As the white glistening snow began to fall upon the campus, and the red mark of the ther­mometer’s mercury began slowly to pass downward to the chillier degrees, sundry college men who enjoy the winter-time climate of the Northland, thought nostalgic­ally of the river, pond, or lake at home. Those who had attended Olivet last year were reminded of spills and thrills of moonlight nights, when, with studies finish­ed, a half-hour on the ice was an exhilerating climax to a short winter day.

To make those dreams come true, the men knew that hours must be spent shoveling snow and banking the courts, spraying wa­ter all over the area (and liber­ally over each other, too)Hfreez- ing fingers and toes in temper­atures dropping to 010 degrees.

Despite these contemplated hardships, the boys are a t it a- gain to make a smooth hard suf- face for all skting enthusiasts. Appreciation may be given, to Armstrong, Kelley, Green, and Witbeck who gave special time to prepare the rink.

Ah, a two-day blizzard and a red brick fire place would be my permanent Christmas wish. Would not it be fun to be snowed in, in an old fashioned house with fire place in every room, an old kitch­en with the pans hung on the walls, and a Christmas tree de­corated with popcorn balls, candy canes, cranberries and candles for light. Wouldn’t it be fun to watch the children slip down the stairs on Christmas morning to gaze with childish delight on the beau­ty of the tree. Just to hear their enraptured sighs over their new rag doll that mother made from the scraps left over from the year’s sewing.

Yes, it’s fun to dream and im­agine the pleasures of an old fashioned Christmas.

Indians Are Victors Despite Predictions

The Indian men under the lead­ership of Coach Green won a very exciting basketball game from the Spartans Friday night and showed that they are defin­itely to be figured in on the race for the crown this season.

The game in its early begin­ning looked to be one of the low-scoring, close-guarding types but during the final quarter the score began to rise.

The Indians using a man to man defense against the Spartan’s zone defense were a constant threat. The Spartans were definitely “off the beam” as they failed time after time to sink the plurality of shots they took.

The first quarter ended with the Spartans in the lead 4-3. The score was a deadlock a t 7 all at half time, nd the Indians lead at the end of the third quarter 10-9. The superiority of charity tosses by the Indians was the deciding factor as they made 5 to the Spartan’s 3 while both teams made 8 field goals.

Bloom tall, long armed, and long legged forward of the In­dians, made 9 points to lead both teams in the scoring. The good guarding and Wayland’s six points helped considerably.

Kelley and Krabill led the Spar­tan attact with six each.

Spartans Lose Grilling Game

The seemingly unbeatable Tro­jan women marked up another victory as they met the Spartan women in an engagement which climaxed in a final score of 35- 23. Fruehling, Von Seegen, Lietsch, and Starr scored for the Trojans. The Spartan forwards were led by Howe, Everman, and Andrews.

With these facts in view we could easily see that basketball a t Olivet would have suffered greatly and the cause of Athletics would have been severly hinder­ed. “All work and no play makes for dull students,” and our op­inion is that the faculty thorough-) ly believe this. Our thanks are extended to those who stood their ground bravely and have allow­ed us to enjoy once a week a night of exciting, thrill-packed en­joyment a t the Olivet Fieldhouse.
