All loyal North Parkers did not
leave the Campus last Friday night.
There was a reason — they were
waiting for the "good news" from
the North. During the evening the
students were scattered all over the
campus until about the hour the
message was expected, when all the
students congregated in the Chapel
and celebrated the victory by a
hearty song service that lasted for
about twenty minutes. Yes, this

Work on New Building Begins
At a meeting of the building com-mittee
of the Board of Directors, Apr.
20, plans were made to begin the
construction of the girls' new dor-mitory
at once. The contract was
awarded to Axel E. Johnson & Com-pany,
who were $4,000 below their
nearest competitors. The corner-stone
will be laid sometime in June
and the building is expected to be
ready for occupancy Septem-

Min- singing took place before the news
was received, which Indicated the
confidence that we all had in our
boys.
After the group had met outside
of the administration building the
decision, which was as we had pro-phesied,
3 — 0 in favor of North
Park, was read. Oh, the thrill that
went through the crowd. "Ped" at
once Jumped In the air leading the
enthusiastic group in cheering,
"Yea, team!"

broken Saturday, Apr.
25.
At a recent meeting
of the Covenant Women's
Auxiliary, who are con-tributing
the funds for the
new building, it was of-ficially
decided to name
the new building "Caroline
Hall," in honor of Miss
Lena (Caroline) Sahistrom,
who has been in continuous
service as teacher at North
l'ark College for twenty-three
years.
Central Heating
Plant
We understand that the
Board of Directors are con-siderIng
putting in a Cen-tral
Heating Plant this sum-mer.
This will give the janitor a
longer nap in the morning, besides
making possible a great saving in
fuel. As the new plant will be
housed In a separate building, the
old heating plants in the various
buildings can be removed and the
badly needed space used for other
purposes.

News in Brief
"Non videresed ease," or, in Eng-lish,
"Not to seem but to be," has
been chosen as class motto. It
speaks for itself. The tea rose is
class flower. This choice is agree-able
to everyone concerned, for
roses make a pretty corsage for a
girl's gown, and, too, they look well
in the lapels of men's suits. Blue
and gold, our school colors, have
been adopted by the graduates as
their own. The class hopes to es-tablish
a precedent for other classes
to follow.
Again a helping hand was extend-ed
to the girls of North Park Col-lege,
by the Ladies' Aid Society of
the Edgewater Church, for the new
dormitory. A bazaar was given April
2, 3, and 4 in the Capital State Bank
Building. The bazaar began each
day at 2 P. M. and lasted until 10
P. M. The many booths were beau-tifully
decorated and surely these
ladies are to be complimented on
their good taste and artistic skill
in transforming this room into such
a paradise. The Ladies' Aid gave
the program on Thursday, the girls
of Edgewater Church on Friday, and
the young men of the church con-tributed
to the program on Satur-day.
The receipts for the three eve-nings
amounted to nearly 12,000. —
a splendid achievement. We, the
girls of N. P. C., surely are indebted
to these wonderful women who are
working so hard to give us a beauti-ful
home.
The Student Oratorical Contests
will be held May 21 and 28. The
Swedish speakers will make their
appearance on the first named date
in the Edgewater Church. The Eng-lish
contestants will compete on the
latter date in the Humboldt Park
Church. Prizes will be awarded
the orators delivering the beet ora-tions.
A recital which was given by the
students of the Department of Music
on Monday evening, April 6, in the
College chapel, proved quite a suc-cess.
The two-piano selections were
rather novel and well chosen, but
they were possibly too numerous.
Each number was excellently ren-dered
and heartily enjoyed by all.
There were several vocal selections
which were well given and revealed
good training. The large audience
showed its appreciation of the num-bers
by its rapt attention.
Heard and Seen
Most of us probably never knew
that we had a male quartette at
school. But we have and they have
been busy filling engagements in the
various meetings and churches on
the north side. It was a treat to see
the "Sterling Four," make their ap-pearance
at the Wheaton debate.
Without a doubt they sang our boys
to victory. We wish our boys much
success in making a name for them-wives
as well as for the school.
We have a Kim and Nylund at
North Park also. They are Oscar
Johnson and Adolf Nylund, who
have been busy singing and playing
at different occasions and events.
Real school spirit was displayed
in the W.heaton-North Park debate
both in attendance at the debate and
in the efforts put forth to sell tic-kets.
The girls of the Nopaco Club
willingly consented to sell tickets
and did their part splendidly under
the direction of Florence John-son.
Dora Wlndell received
high-sales honor In the selling of
sixty-seven tickets, The attendance
at the debate was approximately
two hundred.
It has now been definitely deter-mined
that the Girls of N. P. C.
are to have their very own day. Not
only are they to have charge of the
Chapel service but we understand
that their program for the evening
includes seven courses. Oh Boy!
A piano and vocal recital wits
given Thursday evening, April 16,
at the Moreland Mission Church.
The piano pupils were the most ad-vanced
students of our School of
Music, some of whom are graduat-ing
this year. The vocal pupils were
students of Mr. Kling.
Toy Symphony
There have been rumors floating
about the corridors for the past few
weeks concerning special music, read-ings,
and other numbers, which make
a program interesting. Yes, the
Nopaco girls have been practicing
hard for weeks in preparation for
the Toy Symphony Concert which
will be held in the college auditorium
on May 2. Boys, buy your tickets
from any of the girls; they have
received a fresh supply from the
printer.
Boys' Dormitory Notes
Some people have become early
risers since the tennis courts were
officially opened. On a recent Thurs-day
morning, "Strommie," "Dose,"
"Schnops," and "Middle" could be
seen enjoying themselves in the ear-ly
morning sunlight. Just think what
It would feel like to get up at 6.00
A. M. So far we haven't seen any of
the girls out. We don't believe
they can get up that early.
A few of the boys who are sup-posed
to be tenants of the boys'
dorm seem to spend a great deal of
their leisure time in the reception
room of the girls' dorm. We Sr.'
beginning to wonder If this is a real
romance or just another dishpan
tragedy
The overcrowded condition of our
dormitory shows the need for a new
one. Only about two-thirds of the
out-of-town students find places in
the dorm. The rest must room In
the neighborhood, and, as we are
getting more students each year,
conditions are naturally becoming
worse.
More honor to the dorm? Im-possible!
Yet our friend, Mr. Back-
Strom, is tennis manager, and the
students who find time to play ten-nis
tell us he has a "tight fist" on
the key to the tennis courts. Cheer-io!
Backstrom. more power to you!
The faculty, having given up hope
of properly regulating the school
clocks, have appointed Elmer Wedin
as the official clock winder. Un-doubtedly
this young man, accept-ing
this important duty, was una-ware
of the great responsibility
placed upon him, not fully realiz-ing
that negligence in this duly
will leave him in a very critical posi-tion.
Nevertheless, we hope that
through his efforts many misunder-standings
between teachers and stu-dents
will be eliminated.
Many have wondered what can be
the reason for all the shaggy heads
in the Boy's Dorm the past week.
The secret is out at last. Harry Al-fredson,
our knight of the scissors,
has been home for a short visit. His
father has had the misfortune of
breaking his leg and Harry had to
go home to look after the farm.

Alumni Banque/
The annual banquet of the N. P.
C. Alumni Association will be held
Saturday. May 23, at 7:00 P. M. at
the Hotel La Salle. Two dollars a
plate will be charged, except to the
graduates of '25. who, as the special
guests of Alumni, will have to pay
only one dollar and a half.
The program, instead of consist-ing
of the traditional many speeches,
will be limited this year to one ad-dress,
which will be delivered by
one of the most prominent of Chi-cago's
Christian laymen, • Mr.
S. J. Duncan-Clark, chief editorial
writer of the Chicago Evening
Post. Mr. Duncan - Clark is
one of the most popular public
speakers of Chicago. and is fre-quently
called upon to address civic
and religious bodies.
The musk will consist of solos
by the well-known lyric tenor, Harry
W. Bundy. and a male quartet of
exceptional merit. A particular at-tempt
is being made to emphasize
the social side of the occasion, so
that it may be a reunion in fart as
well as In name. The alumni direc-tors
are bearing in mind a criticism
that In the past the Alumni banquets
have been too formal and have not
given sufficient opportunity for old
college chums to "swap" stories
about student escapades of long ago.
An exceptionally inviting menu
has been planned by the hotel man-agement,
which is placing its finest
banquet hall at the disposal of the
Alumni, and is promising a service
which will be first-class in all par-ticulars.
Alumni of Chicago and vicinity,
send In your reservations immediate-ly.
If you've been faithful in at-tending
the Alumni Banquets here-tofore,
you need no further assur-ance
of an enjoyable and well spent
evening, and if you haven't been
present before, you'll never regret
coming this time, when you'll have
a• special opportunity of renewing
Your friendship with your pals of
the class of 19— or 19—. Graduates,
don't neglect this opportunity to be-come

Prof. Peter P. Person to Palestine
While most of our professors
will be hard at work in summer
school, one of our number will he
away from the heat of the city.
Professor Person has planned a trip
to Palestine. and other countries
along the Mediterranean. The trip
will be 62 days in length, from July
4 and to September 3, and will
cover a territory of 13,000 miles.
The cruise ship "Tuscania" has al-most
if not every convenience of
home. Lectures and entertainments
will be given in the Social Hall at
intervals during the cruise. Pro.
fessor Person, we are sure, is going
to enjoy the trip immensely but we
wonder if there isn't 'someone' he
is going to miss. The students at
North Park wish for him a most
wonderful trip and we feel confident
that just such a vacation will be
of inestimable value to Profes-sor
Person in his work in the Bible
Institute.

Phi Lambda Debating Society
If you're not a Phi Lambdite you
are missing one of the best oppor-tunities
that the Cultural hour has
to offer you. During the past quar-ter
under the old regime, we have
had some very interesting debates
and topical discussions. In confor-mation
with our constitution, how-ever,
it was necessary to have elec-tion
of new officials at our last
business meeting . The results of
this election are indeed satisfactory
and insure a continuance of real
constructive work along the lines of
debating and public speaking.
The following officers were elect-ed
for the fourth quarter:
President Jacob Whitacre
Vice President .Verner Hendrickson
Secretary Ivel Johnson
Treasurer Ralph Wallin
Your attendance and cooperation

society at North Park College.
Political Club News
When the Political Club is not
corresponding with the Hon. W. J.
Bryan it is working in conjunction
with the Mayor of Chicago. The
club has a reputation for tackling
the big and seemingly impossible
things.
At its last regular meeting. the
Political Club had an open discus-sion
of the Chicago traction situa-tion
and has determined to draw up
an ideal plan which is feasible for
operation. This plan will be submit-ted
to the Mayor for consideration
in the hope that it will be adopted.
Another interesting feature in the
calendar of the Political Club is the
annual election of officers. It is
hoped that the newly elected officers
will continue the good work once be-gun
and maintain the club's high
standing among the societies of the
school..
Alpha Sigma Pi
The Alpha Sigma Pi was organized
for the first time at the beginning
of this school year. The object of
this association is to make a thor-ough
study of the origin, principles.
and organization of present-day gov-ernment.
This has been carried out
In a most interesting way thus far.
At present the subject for discussion
is Robert's "Rules of Order," which
proves very profitable for those who
take part in the discussions. The
members of the Alpha Sigma Pi seek
not popularity, but they seek infor-mation
which they consider essen-tial
in order to be good citizens of
their country. They may be known
as the "Silent Few." but hear them
at their meetings! Visitors are wel-come.

Some people are nfflictea with
neuritis, and some with mylitis, but
a comparatively recent ailment is

disease are counted by the millions.
That the North Park College Ra-dio
Association will succeed is no
longer a question to be debated.
Meetings are held regularly and the
investigations continue.
If you are a radloitis sufferer.
Join our association, or consult with
President Eric Ledin or Professor
Olson. Relief is guaranteed now. A
complete cure will be possible in
the near future through perfected
radio sets and apparatus. The Ra-dio
Association can do it.
The Red7ind Meetings
--
A three-week series of meetings
has just been completed by our
Covenant evangelist, the Rev. C. A.
Hedlind. For two weeks the meet-ings
were conducted at the North
Park Church. Commencing April 21,
the services were continued at the
school auditorium. The theme of the
opening message at school was The
Cry of a Homesick Soul." With
much earnestness Rev. Hedlind spoke
of the need of coming back tt, the Lord.
At chapel service, Wednesday
morning, Rev. Hedlind presented
the question of Pilate, "What Will
You Do With Jesus?" God's pres-ence
was very manifest. In the eve-ning
the text was taken from He-brews,
second chapter.
"The Message of the Cross," was
the subject of his talk Thursday
evening. God's great love toward us
is expressed, showed, and proved in
the Cross of Jesus Christ.
What a fine service at chapel
Friday morning! Two young men,
before the whole assembly, accepted
Jesus as their Saviour. The mesAage
stirred the hearts of all present. The
text was Il Cor. 8:5. The message
of the evening was one of love. In
a contrite and reverent spirit the
Rev. Hedlind spoke on the subject,
"Dying Lamps." God's blessing was
added and many sought and found
their Saviour.
Sunday, April 26, was the last
day of this series of meetings. In
the afternoon a picture of our
wounded Saviour was painted for us.
The cloning sermon was the climax
to the meetings. The text was taken
from Mk. 3:28-35 and Gen. 6:3, the
theme being, "Encouragements and
Warnings."
No artificial means were employ-ed
to stir emotions of the students
or to kindle excitement among them.
The old doctrines were proclaimed,
hut proclaimed with a power un-known
at other times. The old
hymns were sung, but sung perhaps
as never before. There was a shrink-ing
from anything like a violent dis-play
of emotion, and from any un-veiling
of the sacred secrets of the
heart, but Scripture readings or quot-ing
was supposed to express the
thoughts, the hopes, the fears, the
gratitude, the devotion, that made
the religious experience of the speak-er.
As a student body we wish to
express our thanks to the Rev. Hed-lind
for these most splendid ser-vices,
and also to the faculty, who
a year ago arranged for them.
North Park College News 3
The Student Volunteer
The oices that are coining out
of the East with increasing frequency
in these days are being listened to
more than formerly and with distinct
advantage to ourselves. They not
only interpret for us the life and
thought of other peoples, but they
convey to us the careful observation
of those who have gone out from
amongst us upon the errands of God
and who have cast their lot with
those people. The thought that thus
Comes to us and which should be
given heed to with special care at
this Hum, is that the evangelization
of the world is more than a purely
spectacular attraction and display
which may momentarily arrest the
eye, but can not so assuredly and
permanently affect the heart. If
missionary work has to depend upon
the powers of keeping up such an
interest its day is pant.
All these things the student vol-unteer
must 1414` and recognize. The
basis of his work is the command of
Christ, "Ye have not chosen me, but
I have chosen and ordained you, that
ye should go and bring forth fruit."
The volunteer is not preparing of
his own free choice but by the com-mands
of the Master inasmuch as
he has called and that call has been
heard and answered. Thus in
obedience to the Master's words
the volunteer — a missionary in
training --- patiently, silently, and
earnestly applies himself to pre-paration
for his life work in the
great foreign mission field. When
the trial of preparation is over,
faith-filled and driven by an inward
sense of need, he goes forth to con-quer
the world for Christ, or die in
the attempt, his face toward the foe.
On Sunday, April 5, twenty stud-ents
front North Park had charge of
both afternoon and evening services
at the Irving Park Church. The
afternoon meeting was conducted in
the lomat way with testimonies and
praise. This service was led by Joe
Danielson. The afternoon was made
more pleasant by the addition of a
vocal solo from one of the members
of the music department, Miss
Glady NelSon.
The evening as rvice was turned
over to two of the students, Walter
Palm and Gunnar Magnuson. Both
young men spoke in English. The
first speaker chose as his subject,
"What lackest thou" and the sec-ond
smaker chose as his subject,
Homiletic Exercises
New assignments for tile fourth
quarter have been made for Semi-nary
students in Homiletic Exercises.

Springtime and the Student
Since Mother Nature lifted her
magic wand over the campus, the
carpet of snow has vanished away,
buds have made their appearance
and changed into the first delicate
green leaves and many-colored frag-rant
flowers, songsters have been
warbling in the trees, and the whole
world seems to have changed into
a paradise of youthful, abundant
life.
What effect has this change of
environment upon the student?
Some thoughtless person has said,
"In the springtime map arises in the
trees and shrubs and—to the head
of the student. Rising sap makes
the verdant foliage and fragrant
flowers of the trees and shrubs,
but rising to the head of a student
it can do nothing but make him a
'saphead'."
We admit that the student feels
the call of the great out-of-doors
and that confinement is distasteful
to him, but the emotions of spring-time
have not made him foolish.
With the resurrection of nature
there has come to him a new appre-ciation
of the beautiful, a quickened
imagination, and creative power
which helps him prepare for a use-ful
and noble life.
Summer School
Do you want to make a credit in
six weeks? if so, the following Par-ticulars
might interest you. Our
school has decided to offer a six
weeks' summer course in Commer-cial.
Academic, and College subjects,
commencing June 29, and finishing
August 7. class sessions being held
from 8:00 A. M. until 12:30 P. M.
each day. Since one credit may be
acquired in this short while, it will
surely prove satisfactory and bene-ficial
to studentx who wFtt to use
a part of the regular vacation to
special advantage. A number of stu-dents
have already enrolled, thus
showing their interest in this course,
and it is hoped that many more will
take advantage of this splendid op-portunity.
A Spring Vacation
The die is cast; the time k past.
There can be no spring vacation at
North Park College this year. What
about next year? Four out of five
students when asked, at random,
if a spring vacation is needed at
North Park replied in the affirma-tive.
A spring vacation is needed for
rest, change. Irelaxation—a recon-struction
period after examinations.
The tendency toward laxity during
the fourth quarter would thus be
prevented because of refreshed
minds and a renewed interest in
studies.
Spring
"Spring hangs her infant blos-soms
on the trees.
Rock'd in the cradle of the western
breeze." -- (lowper.
This is a Year of Days
New special days are being in-troduced
to the innocent student
body each month. The most re-cent
of these, viz., Girls' Day,
under the capable leadership of
Alexandra Schuller furnished a
pleasant surprise at a recent cha-pel
service.
From the editor's Easy Chair
The Senior Sample makes it. de-but.
Once each year the members
of the Senior English Class of the
Academy give the News staff a lift.
This issue is our "scoop". We hope
that you will like it.
We were happy the other day
when ground was broken for the
Girls' New Mtn'. We hope that
Miss Sohlberg and her family will
like their new residence.
Have you noticed how quickly we
pass to and from our classes of late.
There's a Reason!
It is altogether possible that the
student who graduates from both
our Junior College and Seminary
might be awarded a Bachelor's De-gree
for his work.
Some seventy-three young People
will soon be initiated into the sa-cred
mysteries of our Alumni.
The State of Ohio has recently
passed a bill which makes the read-ing
of a portion of Scripture daily
in each public school obligatory.
Illinois has been trying to do that
for years.
The interest shown by the students
of a school In their Library often
serves the purpose of an intellectual
thermometer. Ours is registering
quite high.
As we write these notes we can-not
help hut envy those fellows
who knocked the "haha" out of
"Minnehaba." We hope that you
will be one of those who will defend
N. P. C. next year. It's a great
sport.
Mothers' Day — May 10th.
Now that the Faculty has made a
few rules we are having more order.
Disappointment awaits those who
would come late to Chapel. for the
doors are closed and when the ser-vire
starts the late-comers must re-main
in "outer darkness." All the
old rules are now being enforced
rigidly. Even though we are now en-joying
Spring (with its consequent
laxity), we must accomplish as
much work now as during any other
period of school year.

Elmer W. Fonda]
In looking over the names of
the graduates for 1925 we find that
of one who has been an instructor
at N. P. C. for the past two years,
Elmer W. Fondell. in addition to
his studies in the Seminary he has
been an instructor in the Academy.
Mr. Fondell has acquired a knack
at mathematics. It was not until
the other day that we learned
through an interview with him, that
he ascribes a great ideal of th4s
ability to the experience gained on
his father's farm at Dawson. Minn.,
where Elmer was born twenty-seven
years ago, and where he spent his
boyhood.
After becoming more mature he
saw the necessity of obtaining an
education; therefore he entered the
High School at Dawson. After com-pleting
his Freshman year, he de-veloped
a "wanderlust," and went
to Texas where he completed his
Sophomore and Junlor years. He
returned to Dawson to complete his
Senior year.
Then he entered Macalester Col-lege
at Bt. Paul, Minn., where he
earned his A. B degree and gained
fame as a debater.
During his stay at North Park.
Mr. Fondell has been a very active
member of the student body. Last
year he was our debating coach, and
this year in addition to being pres-ident
of the Seminary students he
is editor-in-chief of the 1925 "Cu-pola."
Mr. Fondell plans to become an
educational missionary in China.
Ever since he was ten years of age
it has been his desire to serve his
Master; and unless the Lord inter-venes
he will leave for China next
fall. We are sorry to see Elmer
leave because we have learned to
know and love him as a true friend
and Christian brother. As he leaves
North Park the student body wishes
him God's speed.
English Professor (arriving at an
English hostelry in the 19th cen-tury);
"Boy, extricate the quadruped
from the vehicle; stabulate him;
devote him an adequate supply of
nourishment; and before the Aurora
of morn shall illuminate the eastern
horizon I will reward you with a
pecuniary compensation."
Boy (running into the office):
"Hey, boss, there's a Dutchman out
here who wants to talk to you."
I
The Significance of the Cupola
Above the many tall, spreading
trees of the College campus rises
the somber gray Cupola of the ad-ministration
building. Since the
days of 1893 it has held that lofty
position, guiding eager scholars
from the North. South, East, and
West to the very portals of the Col-lege
and in its silent way acquaint-ing
them with the great motto,
"The fear of the Lord is the be-ginning
of wisdom," by pointing
above.
But the Cupola is not only a silent
witness of the school's high stand-ards.
It is a miniature representa-tion
of the college and its occupants.
During the warm months birds of
every feather make their homes in
it and are impartially sheltered from
raging storms and dangers of the
lower regions by its projecting roof
and lofty position. They dwell as
one large family—happy and con-tented.
And is this not a beauti-ful
picture of the student life be-low?
The pupils of every nation
and walk of life gather year atter
year and enjoy sweet fellowship
while being safely sheltered from
the troubles of the world.
In view of the above, how fitting-ly
was not the name "Cupola,"
chosen for the book published by the
graduating classes, for not only does
it seek to portray the high standards
of the school but also give others
a little Insight into the happy family
life and companionship enjoyed by
every member of North Park Col-lege.
A Hint to the Architect?
"Oh, girls, you ought to see the
rooms in the new dormitory. They
are all of the same size and shape.
Each one has two large outside win-dows
and is furnished with the nic-est.
uniform furniture. They are as
alike as two peas."
Alice Anderson was telling a
group of friends about the rooms
she had seen in the dormitory for
girls at North Park College.
Thie next day Alice began her
career as student of North Park
College. She had been at North
Park about two weeks when she re-ceived
notice that Miss Sohlberg,
dean of women, wished to see her
at the office at once.
SA Sohlberg said, "Miss Ander-son,
there is a serious charge against
you. Certain valuable jewelry and
wearing apparel belonging to Miss
Johnson were found in your room.
flow do you account for this?"
North Park College News
Alice was stricken dumb with
amazement. She had always been an
honest Christian girl and the situa-tion
overwhelmed her. "I don't
know how they came to be in my
room," she said. Then she began
to cry.
Just then the door flew open and
in rushed Miss Johnson, saying,
"What a fool I have been to accuse
you. Miss Anderson. Can you ever
forgive me? I should have known
that the rooms are as alike as two
peas. I got off the elevator on the
second floor instead of the third,
and entering your room thinking it
was my own. I put my things in
your dresser. I ant so sorry. What
can I do to make this right with
you?"
N. P. C. to the Man Outside
A prospective student who had
investigated various schools and de-cided
for North Park College rea-soned
as ((Mows: "There ought to
he more schools like North Park
in Chicago. North Park is a neces-sity
for students desiring secondary
and college education in a Chris-tian
environment. North Park stu-dents
are earnest, clean-cut Young
people worthy of a Christian insti-tution.
I know of no school which
offers more opportunity for self-help
and has so reasonable a charge for
tuition, room, board, and other ex-penses.
I believe that the association
of academic, college, business, semi-nary,
and Bible students in social
and athletic affairs is beneficial to
the school as a whole. I am con-sidering
entering North Park College
because I believe it fills my need
for Christian education better than
any other school in Chicago."
Spring
By Esther Mattson.
The snow that shrouded the ground
in white
And lay in splendor all day
One lovely evening took its flight
And by morning had vanished away.
Over the hill and the mountain side.
A velvety green comes creeping
So softly yet quickly it seems to
glide,
Awakening that which is sleeping.
A mysterious secret is whispered
about,
The robins have started to sing.
Hark! what are they chirping so
joyously?
'Tie the wonderful coming of Spring!
Mrs. Edith R. Barkow
Mrs. Barkew, our instructor in
English, German and Commercial
subjects, has given six years of
faithful service to North Park Col-lege.
It is with great sorrow that
we learn that she is going to leave.
She has been a "friend in need"
to the students. When they have
been puzzled over an algebra pro-blem
or a construction in Latin, and
asked help from Mrs. Barkow. she
has always straightened out matters
for them willingly.
The students wish to express their
appreciation of the kindness and
devotion she has always shown
them. They send with her their kind-est
regards.
Early Rising
Man is blessed with many customs,
Such as down the ages creep,
But the worst of all is that one
Which deprh es hint of his sleep:
Luring hint from rest enticing,
Comes the call for early rising.
Blessings on the thoughtful creature,
Whether he be man or beast,
Who first added that loved feature
Sleep—but curses, at the least,
On him who began advising
A fresh torture, early rising.
"Life at best is very fleeting,"
Sang the poet long ago,
Why not spend this time in sleep-ing—
Sweet oblivion from all woe?
Day itself is self-sufficing.
Here's to death of early rising.
—Aim Leine.

# Tribute to our Janitors
Who would think upon entering
the college any morning of the
week that a busy school year was
almost over? Instead of the great
amount of paper, pieces of chalk,
and dust which one might expect to
find about the halls at this time
of the year, one finds everything as
spic and span as on the first day
of the year.
The usual "clean-up" day will
not be necessary this year for the
Campus has been well kept. The
cans and dead branches are absent
and the shrubbery has been neatly
trimmed. Instead of a "workday."
the school will therefore be able to
enjoy a picnic.
No little labor has made our
s. 11..1 look as it does. It has cost
the janitors tedious hours of toil
but they have done the work faith-fully
and raised the standard of or-derliness
of our college until we
have come to realize that "cleanliness
is next to godliness." The pleasant,
•orderly surroundings have made it
easter for the students to study and
enjoy their hours in school as well
as feel proud and thankful for the
neat appearance of the halls and
campus when an unexpected vi Itor
arrives. And for all this we have
only a few to thank --thre? cheers
for Mr. Stavlund and his assistants!
Geijer Banquet
---
The Geijer Banquet was held Fri-day
evening, April 17, In the ban-quet
room of the Idrott on Belmont
Avenue.
Glimpses of the tables which were
daintily decorated and arranged in
the shape of a "T" gave all an idea
of the banquet in the land in which
Geijer lived. The first course con-sisted
of what they call in Sweden
"Smorgasbord," which was a deli-cious
treat to all, especially to those
who have at some time lived there.
The entire program was given in
Swedish. The President of the So-ciety,
E. Gustaf Johnson, acted as
toastmaster, and his Swedish stories
were enjoyed very much.
After the dinner a delightful pro-gram
was rendered, which consisted
of many beautiful poems, songs,
piano solos, and speeches, given by
the various members. A poem en-titled
"Karl Johan's Sverigerema"
written by the Secretary of the
Society. Bertil Eklund, was read by
Roy Wiberg. "Ped" Anderson sang
beautifully, "Svenskvisa-Nicolina."
Everyone present had an enjoyable
evening.
The Geljer Society has secured a
promine of a lecture by Ex-Governor
A. 0. Eberhard of Minnesota, Thurs-day

Table Talk
"Please pass the carrots and the
hardtack." "Say, that was a stiff
test Professor M'Ilson gave in Zoo-logy."
"Do you think you passed
it?" "Did you get those problems
in Trig?" "It took me two hours
to do the last one." "That was a
good chapel talk." "Ito you be-lieve
in eternal security?"
These are samples of the table
talk of our noble-minded college
students and the prospective Doctors
of Divinity at our school.
"Who threw the ball through the
window?". "Hurry up and eat or
we won't get to play that game be-fore
first period."
The academic students are care-free
and happy. Once each quarter
their conversation is about class-room
work. This is just before a quar-terly
test when they are very dili-gent
in the pursuit of knowledge.
They believe that the old adage.
"All work and no play makes Jack
a dull boy," applies to Jill as well
as Jack. Those who will follow the
example of the academic students,
during the noon period, will come
to the first afternoon period with
rested bodies and refreshed minds
capable of doing efficient work.
Having Worked One 's Way
Through School
Working one's way through
school Is something that one can
honestly he proud of. When such
n person reflects upon the troubles
he has had to undergo in order to
make a livelihood and pay tuition,
he is really thankful for them, for he
recognizes that had it not been for
theme same "troubles" he would by
this time have given up all hope
of finishing school. There are no
doubt many difficulties for the one
working his way through, but his
efforts are really greatly rewarded
in the end. His outside work may
have been greatly varied and thus
contributed much to enrich his edu-cation.
The writer has worked at all odd
and even Jobe to finish his four
yearn of high school and is not sor-ry,
but glad to have done so.
Anyone who has had like experience
can and will say that school life
has meant far more to him on
this account, because in work-ing
one must put his soul,
mind, and body into it to have made
It a success.

Our Coach
For some unknown reason his
first name is a mystery, but it is
sufficient to call him Varnes. Coach
Varnes is a graduate of the H. S. at
Two Harbors, Minn., where he earned
his letters, and he is now a soph
at "Y" College in basket ball, base-ball,
and football. The student
body, and especially those who par-ticipate
in athletics and those who
have gym classes with Mr. Varnes,
esteem hint, not only for the genuine
interest he takes in his classes and
In sports, but for the man
that he is. Vernet; has spent
much of his time trying to
produce a winning combination.
We are especially thankful to Coach
Vernet; and anticipate another year
with him.
Our Girls' Coach
The girls are the only ones who
have had a chance to become
acquainted with our girls' coach,
Miss Lillian Robbins. and we wish
to take this opportunity of in-troducing
her to you, friend of
North Park.
Miss Robbins graduated from the
John Marshall High School of Chi-cago.
Upon graduation, she entered
the University of Chicago and while
there has majored in Mathematics.
She wears an American Red Cross
Life-Saving Corps pin, besides be-ing
on the honor swimming team
of the University of Chicago. She
has also played on basket ball, base-ball,
and hockey teams- -an enviable
record, don't you think?
This 'June she will receive her
S. B. degree, and as she enters the
field of teaching, we all wish her
the best of success.
Beason Tickets for Baseball
April 17, our team played their
first baseball game and of course
we were the victors. We, the stud-ents
of North Park College natural-ly
intend to go out and give the
team our moral support and speed
them on to more victories, but the
team needs not only moral support
(Cont'd on page 11)
Baseball.
The baseball season of 1925 is
well started at the time of this
writing. A large group of can-didates
have turned out and it has
been Coach Varnes' task to select
front this group the men best Mei
for the various positions on the
team. The catcher's berth is well
taken care of by M. Nelson and
Andrews. Some able twirling has
been performed by Palmquist, Nel-son,
13acklund, and Haglund. We
have lost the pitching service of our
captain, Ed. Peterson. Ed had the
misfortune of breaking a bone in
his ankle during a practice game.
At first base George Clausen is grab-bing
every ball that comes his way.
Ezra Berndtaon is developing well
at second. At the "look-in corner"
we have Milburn Johnson playing a
stellar game. No ball has much of
a change getting by our shortstop,
A. Stromdahl. Stromdal's peg to
first is sure and fast. In the out-field
we find Dahlstrom, Olson,
Fondell, and Youngquist.
Thus far three games have been
played. In the opening game North
Park defeated Hibbard in a closely
fought contest. The following Sat-urday
the team Journeyed to Elgin,
played good ball, but lost the open-ing
conference game. The third
game was a practice affair with the
Crane Jr. College team. Five innings
of play found the Crane men score-less,
and our pitcher going strong.
The game ended in a 2 to 0 score
in favor of North Park.
A full schedule lies ahead for our
team and we dare to assert that
N. P. will give a good account of
herself.
Tough Luck
The Cubs have nothing on us by
losing Maranville, their best short
stop. North Park has lost its best
pitcher in Ed. Peterson, who broke
a bone in his foot in practice. We
sympathize with "Pete," who is also
our Captain, and wish him a speedy
recovery. Ed's service to the team
will be missed to a considerable ex-

N. P. Takes opener from Hibbard
"Batteries for to-day's game: for
Hibbard, Doyle and Nelson; for No.
Park., l'almquist and Nelson. Play
ball."
A big majority of the student
body witnessed what proved to be
a most thrilling game. Our boys
showed real "class" on the diamond
an well as at the bat. In the second
inning ten men batted for North
Park and piled up 7 runs, which
left the score seven to two. Palm-quist
was "going good" up till the
fifth inning when his control was
giving out and he walked several
men who reached home on hits.
When the ninth inning loomed up
North Park had piled up 10 runs
and Hibbard, coming up for their
last hats, had seven. Palmquist lost
his control and walked three men
in a row, which made the hasesefull.
Haglund, from Michigan, then went
in the box for Palmquist. It seemed
to be his off day, for he walked two
men, forcing two men in. Score
then stood 10-9 with the bases full,
no outs, and ninth inning. Hopes
for North Park looked dim. But
Just then a big man from the East
stepped into the box and struck out
three men in a row. This sensation-alist
was none other than Andrew

Tennis Opening Day
Our new tennis court was opened
officially Wednesday afternoon, Apr.
21, 1925. The president of the
school after a few attempts hit one
of the tennis balls over the net and
immediately the game between GO
faculty and students took place. The
representatives of the faculty were
our young professors E. Fondell and
Glen Wilson. The student repre-sentatives
were Alex Schuller and
Claus Backstrom. A ery interesting
game was played, skill being dis-played
by both learns, but finally
the students showed their superiority
over the "Profs" by winning 6 to 3.
After the two teams had shaken
hands and congratulated each other,
two other teams, consisting of Joel
Nordlund, W. G. Danielson, C. E.
Backstrom, and Peter Woo, entered
the splendid "arena." It looked as
if they were evenly matched as
neither of the teams could win a set
and the result was a tie. We had
many interested spectators, among
them being a lively pup who decided
he would have some attention paid
him. One of the white balls bounced
over the fence and the "pup" grab-bed
it and headed for his home
with it (evidently he wanted a
souvenier). One of the players. Joel
Nordlund, gave chase. After a lively
race, Joel grabbed him by the tall,
which of course caused the dog to
snap at him. in doing this the
"pup" dropped the "precious bur-den"
and the game could be re-sumed.
The girls, as usual, were not for-gotten.
Two girls' teams also
showed that they could swing a
"mean racket." The teams consisted
of Mildred Lundhohn and Astrid
Tornwall, and Alexandra Schuller
and Laura Gustafson. respectively.
The latter team came out victorious.
When this was ended the opening
day of the North Park College ten-nis
court had gone down in history.
"Gym" Night.
A pleasant evening is in store for
those who attend the "gym" exhibi-tion,
which is being planned for
May 6, The "gym" classes have
spent several weeks drilling on the
various "stunts" to be staged. Every
one who finds it possible should
take advantage of the opportunity
of seeing the results of the work of
the respective "gym" Instructors.
North Park College News 11
Revival of Barnyard Golf
On one of the first fine days
there was heard near the "gym" a
clanging and ringing sound as from
a blacksmith shop. It was thought
that a new course had been added,
or that probably the horses in the
"gym" were getting a new set of
shoes. An investigation revealed
that from somewhere two sets of
professional horse shoes had been
resurrected, and here a team repre-senting
Minnesota was pitching
against Nebraska. From observa-tions
the men showed first-class
form. This, however, was not gained
this spring, but was a pastime that
had been dormant for some time.
Not a few of the students at N. P.
hail from the farm, and it is
a known fact that horse shou.
pitching is their major sport and
the main topic of conversation ar
every wedding ceremony. It is
whispered that the athletic council
hopes to award letters to the cham-pion
horse shoe pitcher.
A Trip to Collegeville
North Park plays at Collegeville
Memorial day. The student body is
planning to take this trip with the
team and make it a picnic. A real
good time as well as a good game
will be appreciated by all. More
about this trip will be posted.
North Park Shuts Out Crane
College.
North Park came out on top
again tej beating Crane College 2-0
at Riverside Park. The Nelson batte-ry
proved successful and "Sehnop's"
knuckle ball had the Crane batters
"baffled." In spite of his injured
ankle he pitched a good game.
Pal!nquist went in the box and
pitched with "real class" and struck
four men out in two innings. Our
team played a good brand of base-ball,
and with this superior class
of baseball being played by our boys
we have all reason to believe we
can "cop" the championship of the
Conference. Come out and see us
win!
North Park loses to Elgin.
North I'ark lost its first confer-ence
game to Elgin. Our boys made
a few t7rrors which proved to be very
costly, and they failed to come
through with the necessary batting
ability when it was mostly needed.
The effective pitching and batting
of the Elgin team left the score 11-6
in favor of Elgin.
Basketball Party
Monday, April 13, the North Park
College basketball teams, both the
girls' and the boys', assembled in
the party room to have a good time.
Did they have it? There weren't
five minutes that the laughter and
gaiety subsided. Mr. Gloom was not
once present.
It was R. W.'s and E. C.'s lot to
inform those present what it felt
like to ht. good-looking. After these
confessions four of the most promis-ing
twentieth century songsters fav-ored
the guests with the latest hit,
"Sweet Adeline."
Did you ask, "Were there any
refreshments?" Well, there certain-ly
were. When was there a party
at North l'ark without refresh-ments?
The party broke up at the
exceedingly respectable hour of nine-thirty,
after which everyone was
expected to go straight home.
The members present at the party
are deeply indebted to Coach Varnes
for ha%ing kept the keen interest of
the whole evening at such a high
pitch.
A Banquet.
In the latter part of May a ban-quet
will be given in honor of the
men who received letters in Basket
hall, Baseball, Tennis and Track.
The plans are now being worked
out.
Boatel. Ball Captain.
Andrew Stromdahl has been el-ected
Captain of our next year's
basket ball team. His playing has
proved him capable of holding this
position. We congratulate him and
wish him the best of luck.
(Cont'd from page 10)
but financial support as well. Every-one
can do his part in promoting
athletics at N. I'. C. Some students
are born athletes while the rest of
us must be content to look on. As
we want something worth while to
look at, our players must have
attractive uniforms and of course
these as well as other baseball mat-erial
cost money. Our Athletic
Council has provided a way where-by
the players may look attractive
without costing the student body a
large sum. Season tickets to the
home games, eight in number, may
be had for the small sum of fifty
cents. Surely as we know this
money is promoting baseball at
North Park, we cannot help but buy
a ticket. Come on. students, give
our team the financial support they
need! Don't be a slacker!

On Your Laughter
When all the earth seems wrapped
in darkest gray,
Without a single ray of sunlight
bright
To penetrate the darkness, black
as night,
Which has o'erspread my soul; on
such a day
When happiness and joy seem far
away,
The skies, en dull and threatening
me affright,
And, with the lonely world pro-duce
a sight
Near which no optimist can care-free
stay;
Then, might I only hear your
laughter ringing,
Or see that smile of yours for
one short hour,—
It matters not how sad I was
before,- -
The heartache would be gone, I'd
be asinging,
God's world again be like a heav-enly
bower,
For when you smile, then gloom
can be no more.
—'dna Ledin.
The Gospel team had charge of
the meetings at the Maplewood Mis-sion
church, April 19. The afternoon
meeting was devoted to testimonies
from the different members. Edwin
Anderson was the speaker at the
evening service.
Doings in May
What's going to happen in May?
That's too broad a question to have
a definite answer, because there's
no end of pleasant things that can
happen in May. Some time during
the month the graduates will have
their picnic. Then, so as not to let
the graduates feel that they are the
only ones that are picnicking, the
juniors will be invited to a picnic
given by the seniors, at which the
traditional "ketchup" bottle will be
presented. On May 23 all the girls
of the graduating class will have a
chance to don their party frocks and
the men will have a chance to show
how they look in tuxedos, for "the
Event" of the school year occurs on
that date, namely the Alumni Ban-quet,
given at the La Salle Hotel.
Of course, a lot of other things are
bound to happen; so watch, look,
and listen.
Commencement Concert
The annual popular concert will be
held again this year during commen-cement
week. Tuesday evening, June
2. The complete program has not
yet been announced, but Professor
Earnest promises us that it will be
of special interest. Besides those of
the piano department who will play,
there will be outside talent partak-ing
also.
The Student Theological Conven-tion
held its executive business
meeting at McCormick Theological
Seminary April 22. E. W. Fondell
was the delegate from our Seminary.
The purpose of this meeting was to
discuss plans for the convention to
be held next year. This was our first
participation in these meetings.

The Student Volunteers had charge
of the Mission Study Class meeting,
Thursday, April 16. They gave
their personal testimonies on, "Why
I am a Volunteer."
The student meeting held at
Edgewater. April 19, was well at-tended
both in the afternoon and
evening. The afternoon meeting,
given over to testimony, was led by
Nathan Noreen. A good spirit pre-vailed
throughout the meeting and
all attending felt that they received
a blessing.
In the evening two of the students
spoke, Elmer Landerdahl and Leslie
