America Turning
To Sacred Music
Says Radio Star
During these chaotic times.
America is turning more forcefully
to religion. Richard Crooks. the
concert artist of radio and opera,
made this point clear in an inter-view
to high school and junior col-lege
journalists last week when he
stated that his requests for sacred
music have increased from 15'7; to
60% since the war began. Fewer
requests come in for Italian and
German arias or for the works of
modern German composers now
living in Germany. However, the
war, he said, has not had any ef-fect
on the demand for the old
German composers such as Schu-mann,
Brahms. and Beethoven.
Sings "Ave Maria" for Service
Men
Mr. Crooks. who began his ca-reer
as a boy soprano in a church
with a salary of fifty cents a
month, Ls requested most often to
sing Schubert's "Ave Maria." This
Richard Crooks
Is a song, he said, which is sure to
quiet a noisy group of service men
during his frequent concerts for
the men in uniform.
Tall. heavily built, and genial.
Mr. Crooks thinks his life has had
many high moments, but still looks
back with pride at an experience
when he was eleven years old. In
Trenton New Jersey, Mr. Crooke
sang the soprano part of "Elijah"
with Madame Schumann-Heink
singing the alto. Following the
concert, he trudged home with a
dozen American Beauty roses given
to him by his leading lady.
"Faust" Causes Stage Fright
Having studied for the concert
stage in Germany. Italy and
France and with Frank La Forge in
America, Mr. Crooks prefers work-ing
with concert music and art
songs. His favorite operas are
"Maron" and "Faust." Singing the
latter gives him his worst ease of
stage fright, he admits. Songs from
Gilbert and Sullivan operettas are

New Tuesday Series
It is unfortunate that "better
than ever" has been worn thin as
an advertising slogan, for that is
the term best describing the forth-coming
Tuesday Evening Series,
February 22—April 20. C. J. Ham-bro,
Burton Holmes, Senator E. C.
Johnson, and Carl Sandburg are
among the personages whom the
Committee on Cultural Activities
has invited to our campus.
As always, the program is to be
varied: three evenings will be de-voted
to lectures, three to motion
pictures, and three to musical per-formances.
The three lecturers are national
if not international, figures. Carl
Sandburg. America's beloved poet
and biographer, who has once be-fore
visited North Park, will speak
on "What Would Lincoln Do?" iFor
dates of performances, see calen-dar
below.)
C. J. Hambro, Nazi-exiled presi-dent
of the Norwegian parliament
and member of the League of Na-tions
Assembly, will lecture on
"Ed uca t ion for International
Peace." E. C. Johnson, Democratic
senator from Colorado who is fre-quently
in the Washington news.
has not as yet announced the sub-ject
of his address.
Travelogues and informative
motion pictures have always had a
traditionally important place on
the Tuesday Evening Series. Bur-ton
Holmes. a perennial favorite
with audiences throughout the
country, is to return for the second
time this year, his travelogue this
time to be on Mexico. Canfield
Cook. R.A.F. bomber pilot in World
War I and an aeronautical author-ity,
will both lecture ond show mo-vies
of "The New Air World." His
pictures illustrate how aviation is
defeating Hitler and how it will
reshape the world of tomorrow.
The third motion picture of the
series, "World's Underseas," will be
shown by Vincent Palmer, ocean-ographer
and diver, who accom-panied
Dr. Beebe on his famed
Bathysphere expeditions.
The musical third of the series
is to be dominated by campus tal-ent,
the climax coming with the
annual three-day Music Festival
under the direction of E. Clifford
Toren. Midway through the sea-son.

Auto Accident Hospitalizes
College Freshman Fondell
Alice Fundell. :I first-year student
at North Park college, is conval-escing
In the Swedish Covenant
Hospital as a result of injuries re-ceived
Friday night, January 14.
Alice was crossing Foster Avenue
and Sawyer when a we - t.bound
automobile struck her. The driver
was unable to see her because of
the fog. He rushed her immediately
to the Hospital where she was given
medical aid. It was discovered that
she suffered from a broken pelvis,
cuts on her chin, and several other
bruises and cuts.
Alice, who is the niece of Mr. El-mer
W. Fondell, instructor of Mis-sions
in the Seminary, is from
Dawson, Minnesota. She has suffi-ciently
recovered that she may re-ceive

February 5 is the deadline for
having pictures taken for the Cu-pola.
As yet, revealed Editor Jim
Gustafson, only one-fourth of the
graduates have gone to the Sall-man
Studios to have their grad-uation
pictures taken and it Is im-portant
that the deadline be ob-served.
This year the deadline is earlier
than in previous years, because the
printers, lacking manpower, de-mand
a longer time for their work
on the book. If the Cupola art de-partment
doesn't get the pictures
early enough, the publication date
will have to be set back, perhaps
well into the summer.
The few group pictures that
haven't been taken, will be made
within the next few weeks. Notice
of time and place will be put on the
bulletin boards.

Well over two hundred students
are taking advantage of the oppor-tunity
for evening study afforded
by the Evening Session of North
Park College.
Under the direction of Mr. Evar
Nelson, the evening school provides
a comprehensive schedule of Junior
College courses fully accredited by
the North Central Association.
Courses are open to all graduates
of accredited high schools or per-sons
having a minimum of fifteen
units of secondary school work. In
some cases adults lacking a few
credits to complete high school may
take college courses and apply the
credits toward their high school
diploma.
Many of the courses are open to
all who desire to pursue them ser-iously,
irrespective of age or pre-vious
training, provided that they
give evidence of sufficient matur-ity
to carry on profitably the work
required. Those who do not desire
credit for their work may attend
classes as auditor students, partic-ipating
in class work but not ne-cessarily
doing the written work.
The twenty-five teachers com-prising
the staff are, largely, day
instructors here or at other schools
and are well qualified by training
and experience. They are enabled
to take personal interest in the
progress of their students because

Well, the new year has rolled around and is pretty well under way
by now. Its a bit past time for resolutions but that old reformist zeal
has got the better of me so with the best of intentions and with a
"better late than never" on my lips, I bravely raise my pen. Perhaps
this will be a help for you too.
Resolved:
to remember that my 9:05 class is really scheduled for 9:00 (or is it
8:55?), to resign myself to the fact that it really takes twenty minutes
to get to school instead of the pre-war fifteen; to study my lessons before
that next surprize quiz; to study my lessons; to go to bed for a while
each night and stay awake in all classes; to laugh heartily at all my
proleFsons jokes, to watch my professor's expression that I may know
when he has told a joke; to keep in mind on all themes that a prepo-sition
is something not to end a sentence with
I'll not forget
teat library rules are made to be obeyed, not broken; that long
conversations there are generally taboo except on Tuesday and
Thursday afternoons (or is that changed now?); that the pictures in
Life inagazino won't help me any during the next exam; that fines
are always payed sooner or later for over due books; that librarians
actucily eat and sleep like human beings.
From now on, I'll
pack a bigger lunch, four sandwiches aren't enough to keep a
horse alive; stop drooling at the lunch being eaten by the girl next
to me in Bible class; stop drooling at the girl; take the hints which all
"riends have dropped and give up trying to wear my beautiful
new plaid ties; remember it isn't really me, it's the manpower shortage.
I lo hereby swear
To have my Cupola picture taken before Easter; to quit wishing
7 notes in my box, it doesn't do me any good; to quit rushing around,
it doesn't get me anywhere, to quit cracking corny puns, I soon get
lonesome; to quit making resolutions; to live up to all my resolutions;
to quit writing before I run off the bottom of this page.
If you should chance
to see some chap running around the campus next week with a
halo above his head, it will probably be some poor fellow who is try-ing
to follow my advice. Here's one thing certain: it won't be me l

ence of Christian Students, and
his presence at inter-church and
student gatheririas is one of the
great traditions.
When someone glances down a
column of such names as: Abdul
Disu. Manual Escorcia, Siu Chi
Huang, Toru Matsumato, Chiyoko
Tsuruta, Alfonso Velasco, Bob
Smith, Jim Williams, Bill Miller,
Helen White. and Lois Young, he
says to himself: "This looks either
like a telephone directory or a list
of potential voters of the cosmo-politan
section of Chicago." But
this time it's neither. It is just a
portion of the directory of students
who comprised the membership of
the Wooster Planning Conference
on the World Mission of the
Church. .
Let's start from the beginning:
Who was there? Where is Wooster?
What was the conference for?
What happened? The Wooster Con-ference
brought together five hun-dred
college and university stu-dents
from scores of American
campuses, and twenty-two foreign
countries to discuss and discover
the part which students could play
in the world mission of the church.
The week from December 28 to
January 3 brought to the spacious
campus of the College of Wooster
in Wooster. Ohio, more activity
than the college's usual enrollment
of eight hundred was accustomed
to. Major student movements rep-resented
were: the National Inter-collegiate
Christian Council; the
Student Christian Movement of
Canada; the Student Volunteer
Movement; and the University
Commission, which represent al-most
all the church-related stu-dent
programs of the country.
Each day had its share of activ-ity—
from the ring of the alarm
clock at 6:30 a. m. to the close of
the evening worship service at
10:15. Saturday was a typical day
at the Conference. It ran some-thing
like this: The opening wor-ship
service presented Dr. Robert
C. Mackie, General Secretary Of
the World's Christian Federation.
In a Bible study and short medita7
tion. Following this brief period.
Dr. Henry P. Van Dusen, author,
lecturer, and traveler, conducted a
panel of foreign students on the
younger churches over the world.
When students from China, India,
Japan, Africa, France, Germa9y,
and South America, described the
needs of reconstruction in their
countries, we Ameritans realized

SPEAKING
Sportsmanship??
The basketball team of this year
is receiving probably more student
cooperation and enthusiasm than
any previous team. And why not?
We have a team to be proud of,
and we want the whole world to
know it. But I wonder if the team
is just as proud of us! I also won-der
what is in the minds of stu-dents
and players of the opposing
schools. I guess North Parkers
were born with a natural zest for
cheering for what they hold dear,
but were they also born with a
spirit of poor sportsmanship?
There is probably nothing that
spurs on a team like the wild
cheering of its classmates. That is
all well and good in its place, but
what about this heckling of the
other side's cheers and display of
loyalty? Again, remember the fel-lows
out there on the floor. They
are the ones who have to face the
other side, man to man. I am cu-rious
to know if at times they are
not just a little disappointed in
their buddies in the stands.
We speak of moral victories. How
can we enjoy even these when
some "jerk" from the balcony yells
out. "Borsch," at the end of every
opposing cheer. It certainly isn't
very pleasant to hear, "North Park
has a swell team, but the North
Park students have such poor
sportsmanship." Our actions only
reflect on the team. Why embar-rass
such a swell bunch of fellows.
because of something we do? Why
do it at all? Why not give credit
where credit is due?
Chapter One!!
There is a great country sur-rounded
east and west by two
great oceans. The pioneers, who
called this land America, were
sturdy and tough; they fought and
toiled to establish this land, and
it prospered and grew. Over shacks
arose skyscrapers, the iron buggy
was replaced by the iron horse,
and, men flew around in huge
metal birds called airplanes. The
people had anything they wanted
at the push of a button. They grew
soft. This is how we are found to-day!
Not struck with the tragedy
that surrounds us. holding neither
fear nor hate.
How long are we to keep up this
front How long can we go on
dreaming and looking at life
through rose-colored glasses-how
long? We've become weak and soft
on soda pop and candy. Can the
troubles of the world be placed on
shoulders accustomed to swaying
to "G. I. Jive?"
We must meet reality, answer
the challenge! Let's get together,
kids, and show we know what our
dads, brothers, sisters, and un-cles
are fighting for. Let's not
disgrace them - let's show what
we've got! Don't lie down on the
job that has just begun. Is it be-cause
of men like Colin Kelly and
General McArthur that Hitler
laughs and the Japs scream for
joy? No, it's because of soft
Americans. Let's not lose because
"of too little or too late." Get in
the fight now, wake up! Do what
you can!
This story isn't finished yet -
let's hope it reads, "and they lived
happily ever after." The final
chapter hangs in the balance and
the Americans at home can tip the
scale either toward victory or to-ward
defeat.

These feats took place last
Wednesday at a program sponsored
by the Student Council.
A command performance of
crooning was given by Russ "F. Si-natra"
Ohlson, which preceded a
love scene between "Juliet" Ohlson
and "Romeo" Holder, and he sure
did-hold'er that is. Dignity may
have been shocked, but the stu-dents
were interested in the dis-play
of dancing shown by Donita

What Are Adolescents
Made of?
Parents know what they're made
of!
Chill on hot dogs, vanilla in cokes,
Hilarious whooping at practical
jokes;
Movie star's hair-dos, strawberry
lipsticks.
Precocious connivings, swing music
with hot licks.
Phone conversations all night and
day.
Dripping with "lousy"-"say kid'-
"0 K."
Spine on the sofa and feet on the
table,
Frothing debates on the merits of
Grable.
Summertime hogging of local ver-andas
Acres of bracelets like Carmen
Miranda's.
Agreeing that parents are middle-aged
blights,
Honking and tooting that shatters
the nights,
Allowances melting with incredible
speed
For records and anything else they
don't need;
A fine unconcern for dinner that
waits
And this above all: dates and more
dates!
That's what adolescents are made
of!

congratulations.

N. P. WELCOMES
MORAL VICTORY
From Iii, opening tip-off North
Park was fighting against odds,
Dec. 10. 1943. Latin has an average
height of 6' 1", while North Park
averages only 5' 10". Their ad-vantage
of superior height was
quickly cut down by Berglund and
Fornoff, whose superhuman re-bounding
gave their fighting mates
a chance to show their amazing
accuracy at shooting. They made
the Latin skyscrapers dance to the
tune of a 14 to 8 lead for North
Park in the first half.
In the next half even faster play
was seen. So fast was the pace
that Latin was forced to send in
substitutes in order to give their
players a chance to catch their
breath. All through the game Don
Storgaard stuck so close to Groth
that some thought they were shar-hie
the same pair of basketball
shorts. Because of this Oroth was
held to 9 points, a low total for
such a high-scoring man. Gordy
Pohl was always on the spot to
relieve the pressure of any Viking
who got tied up.
Playing as if it meant death to
lose. North Park's mighty mites
fought to a 16 to 16 tie at the end
of the third quarter. Both B.
Johnson and D. Fornoff fouled out
and the rest of the team helped
bring the total fouls to 19. Ter-rific
ball handling by the whole
team brought them from behind to
2 points behind Latin, in the
fourth quarter. The last few sec-onds
saw the gallant Vikings make
a bid for victory. The only thing
that prevented at least an over-time
was time itself: for as the
ball was being shot time ran out.
It may have been a loss but not a
defeat; it was a moral victory for
North Park. No lights were need-ed
in the locker room because
Yank was glowing brightly because
of his team's exhibition of down-right
skill and speed.
Corn on Court
The rumor that Dale Berglund's
socks can stand by themselves is
not true. Give 'em time!
Kirk Frazer got a pair of knee
guards for Christmas. but Lenore
won't let him wear them because
she can't see the dimples on his
knees.
The cheering section of the "A"
team fellahs at the Wheaton game
was really shrewd. You can hear
them in action at all games. It is
said their cheering outshines the
cheering antics of June and Jean.
Hats off to Rog Kiorkdahl who
is averaging more than fifteen
points per game. Nice going Rog!
If you're wondering about that
worried look of Al Abrams', well.
he is worried about his favorite
sport--sitting. Get it?
You all know, by this time, that
you kids are represented by a pair
of fine teams. If you keep coming
to the games and yelling your
heads off. you won't be disappoint-ed.
The games coming up in the next
few weeks are going to mean the
championship. Our Vikings are in
a contender's position and will
really be fighting. So come on out
and get behind your team!
Hungry Henry.
INKSPOTS
Now that the New Year is well
under way. I'll leap right in here
with some new jokes!
• • •
Jim Wallin: "Notice any im-provement
in my golf since last
year?"
Dale Berglund: -Had your clubs
shined, didn't you?"
•••
Two maiden ladies were discus-sing
a favorite topic—Men!
'Which," asked one, "would you
desire most in a husband, brains,
wealth, or appearance?"
The second hesitated not a mo-ment.
"Appearance," she replied
decisively. 'and the sooner, the
better."
• • •
Mother: "Now, Bobbie, be a good
boy and say 'Ah-h' so the doctor
can get his finger out of your
mouth."
Marriage is a book of which the
first chapter is written in poetry
and the remaining chapters in
prose. •••
Mr. May: "The man who marries
my daughter will get a prize.'
Frazer: "May I see it?"
• • •
Lost and Found
A middle-aged woman lost her
balance and fell out of a window
Into a garbage can.
A Chinaman passing by re-marked:
"Amelicans velly waste-ful.
That woman good for ten years
yet." •••
He: "Who spilled the mustard on
this waffle?"
She: "Oh. Bill. how could you?
This is lemon pie."
•••
Jeanne B.: "You drive me mad!"
Jack B.: "No, you drive me
there. I haven't got a license."

Parker Tumbles
The gym was packed with cheer-ing
spectators on the evening of
Jan. 7. The confident Parker five
went on the floor expecting to win
against the blue and gold by using
a fa.st break. North Park struck
out early in the game with such a
fast pace it made the Parker
team's head whirl. As the two
teams came to grips the score sea-sawed
back and forth. One Parker
man. who made two-thirds of his
free-throws, could have thrown
fear into the Vikings' followers if
it had not been for Pohl who
seemed to be able to sink a long
shot from anywhere inside of the
half floor line
In the third quarter. North
Park scored three points and Park-er
only one. Dismayed at such a
low scoring quarter. the Vikings
returned to the forth quarter with
renewed vigor. The crowd who had
been on its feet almost the whole
game was able to relax for the first
time as the Vikings brought the
game under their control. Parker
shots became wild as they made a
frantic attempt to even the score.
North Park calmly took advantage
of the situation and rolled to a 35
to 26 victory over Fran( is Parker
and their first conference win of
the season.

Friday afternoon, January 14,
North Park's Mighty Mites sus-tained
their first loss of the new
year. The offensive attack of Har-vard
was ,too much for North Park
to stop; although, there is no doubt
that for some unexplainable reason
the Vikings were off. Their shots
were poor with a small percentage
of them going in, and their floor
play was inferior compared with
their usual display of floor play.
Only in the last two minutes of the
game did the Vikings look like
themselves. The rest of the time
they seemed to be missing that
extra something it takes to win the
game. During the first half, Har-vard
reigned supreme; the last half.
however, revealed a revitalized
Viking team. Slowly, in fact too
slowly In win the game, the Blue
and Gold's offense began to roll
forward, until, by the last two min-utes
of the fourth the Vikings were
able to score five field goals within
one minute. But even this last min-ute
drive could not save the Blue
and Gold from a 43 to 33 defeat at
the hands of Harvard.

dren. The group was small due to
the large number of students who
work on Thursdays, but those who
went saw many things of notable
interest.
Spaulding. wth its membership
of over 1200 pupils. is the largest of
the four Chicago Public Schools
operated by the Board of Educa-tion
for handicapped children. It
is world-famous for the service it
gives to children from Nursery
School through High School.
The physical and health care
given to the pupils includes physio-therapy
and nursing service; as
well as supervised rest, recreation,
and diet. Thirty-two buses, with
attendants paid by the Board of
Education and chauffeurs paid by
the Motor Bus Company, transport
the pupils to and from school.
After seeing some of these handi-caped
children at first hand and
witnessing the facilities and meth-ods
being used to prepare them
for living and mingling with so-ciety,
the club members were left
with a justified feeling of pride
in Chicago's contribution to this
pioneer educational movement.

Fifty students of all nationalities
rose in a few moments of silent
respect for what the United States
has done to further missions and
promote better living conditions.
Discussion groups on the Saturday
program centered around Chris-tian
vocations, and attempted to
bring out the realization that lay-occupations
can be as truly Chris-tian
as those of the missionary or
minister. Then for two hours the
well-known speakers were at the
mercy of the students, who pro-ceeded
to try their best to stump
the experts, and in almost every
corner could be seen a little group
gathered around an experienced
and informed leader.
In the evening Roy McCorkle,

The College Victory Council will
begin functioning this year as
soon as the new members have
been appointed by last year's cabi-net
members.
Among the many goals the Vic-tory
Council will try to achieve,
two will be especially emphasized—
the sale ot War Bonds and Stamps
on the campus and the support of
the WSW' campaign in cooperation
with the YWCA.
The Victory Council expects to
do great things in the coming
months. To to this, however, it
must have the enhusiastic support
of every student on the campus.
Tues. Evenings—cont.
the Chapel Choir, both under the
direction of Oscar E. Olson, will
present a concert. Bolognini and
Josef fer, cellist and pianist, have
been scheduled for a recital early
in the series. Mr. Bolcgnini is a
solo cellist, and Mr. Josef fer is the
featured pianist with the Palmer
Stringed Ensemble.
Final arrangements for the se-ries
are now in preparation, and
season tickets will be available at
the beginning of the second se-mester.
The calendar of perform-ances
is as follows:
TUESDAY EVENINGS
Feb. 22 Canfield Cook.
Feb. 29 Belognini and Joseffer.
Mar. 7 Vincent Palmer.
Mar. 14 Women's Glee Club and
Chapel Choir.
Mar. 21 Senator E. C. Johnson.

Crooks—cont.
not included in his repertoire, but
he admires anyone "who can sing
that patter."
Mr. Crooks likes to sing with Bi-du
Says°, the Brazilian soprano,
with whom he has given joint re-citals
and operatic scenes. He sel-dom
sings oratorios now since he
considers them work for younger
singers.
The most recent command per-formance
of Mr. Crooks was through
the war department for service
men overseas. At this broadcast, he
sang two duets, "Beautiful Dream-er"
and "Camp Town Races" with
the crooner, Bing Crosby. He gave
a command performance in Oslo
several years ago.
What About Frank Sinatra?
Asked his opinion of popular sing-ers,
Mr. Crooks answered, "That's
their business."
'What do you think of Frank Si-natra?"
"Do I have to answer that?"
"Don't you have an opinion?"
"Yes, but it's a private one."

Tests to Be Given
Any student desiring to know
more about his vocational abilities

Vocational Guidance Tests offered
at North Park College. Tests are
first given to determine the stu-dent's
interests, and subsequent
tests reveal his ability in his pre-ferred
vocations.

at the beginning of the new semes-ter
but appointments may be made
now with the Dean of Students.

charge of three dollars to cover the
cost of materials.
Girls Plan Own
Basketball Meet
After excms when the girls feel
somewhat let down and dragged
out, a system will be inaugurated to
revive the old spirits. The system
consists of running over to the gym,
donning work-out clothes and
scrambling for a basketball.
Plans are being made for a bas-ketball
tournament. Anyone can
join. Almost every girl has seen
a basketball game at some time
and knows the fundamentals of the
game. Even that isn't necessary
because it is guaranteed that the
game can be learned in no time
flat.
The academy girls are urged to
draw up teams in their coun-seling
groups and the coeds will
chose teams from their various
gym classes. Then the competi-tion
will begin. Let's all be on hand
for the results and the fun.

Visiting Army Fellahs
And Naval "Kaydets"
Recall Former Years
On Monday evening, January 10,
there was a bit of the old 1942-43
atmosphere in the gym during the
North Park-Herzl game. Three of
the boys from the old basketball
audience of last year were at North
Park again to see their team play
ball and to cheer for them.
The three sat on the sidelines,
not as North Park students any
more but as loyal alumni. Gone
were the yellow corduroys, plaid
shirts, and blue North Park sweat-ers,
replaced by the neat navy blue
and marine green uniforms of the
Navy Air Corps
The three men were Naval Avia-tion
Cadets Cy Mayer, Don Lind-quist.
and Ken Halvorsen who
would have graduated from the
college this June. They left to-gether
for cadet training last se-mester
and have just completed
Pre-Flight training at Iowa. Now
they will go on to Minneapolis, and
from there, God bless them, to the
final phase of training and those
golden wings.
And so in 1944 the boys in serv-ice
of their country come back to
visit their Alma Mater. Pvt. Walt
McGaw visiting us January 8,
would have been proud had he seen
the North Park quintet in action.
Walt was one of the stars of the
Viking team last season Unfor-tunately
he was unable to get a
game into his furlough schedule.
He returned to New York where he
is in Engineering School.
January 6 brought Pvt. J. Crilly.
and Pvt. Henry K. Lilleberg to the
campus. The following day Lt. Ro-bert
Christofferson. of the class of
1940, was here.
Lt. Richard Synwolt Jr.. a mem-ber
of the Academy class of 1940, is
now a bomber pilot stationed at
Galveston. Texas. Pvt. Merwyn A.

ball game played at Joliet. The
game was extremely close, each
team fighting desperately and al-ternately
forging into the lead. In
the last two minutes of play, the
Vikings came to life in a last min-ute
rally and clinched the game.
Jay Barker showed the out-of-towners
his ability by scoring 27
points.
Another Win—Morgan Pk.
Morgan Park became putty in the
hands of a powerful North Pork
quintet last Wednesday night to
the tune of 65-26. Paced again by
the remarkable shooting of Jay
)Deadeye ) Barker, who tossed in 19
points, North Park's victorious five
coasted on to another victory.
Morgan Park after getting off to
a 2 point lead in the first half
weakened and North Park surged
ahead and kept their lead for the
remainder of the game.
Almost all of the men scored at
least 2 points. Bill Johnson fol-

showed Morgan Parkers some great
defensive play and the rest showed
a lot of fight and spirit that had
given North Park great teams for
the last decade. This game put
North Park into a tie with Wilson
for first place in the Illinois Junior
College Conference.
Barker Breaks Scoring Mark
On Monday evening, January 10,
the North Park College basketball

Conquer Quintet
With High Score
On January 15 the Vikings played
basketball against the American
College of Phys. Ed. quintet. When
the word "quintet" is used here it
means just that. The American Col-lege
was unfortunate in losing
many of its men.
North Park won with a score of
61 to the opposing team's 34. Jay
Barker was high scorer with 27
points. This was not a conference
game.
Coach "Bibbs" Anderson is to be
complimented on his fine work in
training the men of the basketball
team.
built up their lead with easy play-ing
until the end of the game.
By scoring 30 points Jay Barker
broke the high scoring record of
27 points established by the great
Walt Ma:law last season. If the
team keeps up this pace throughout
the rest of the season the Vikings
are destined to repeat their confer-ence
championship once again
Hero Worships Hero
The reason for Ray Prosperi's
basketball success is attributed to
his loyal interest in one of Ameri-ca's
favorite heroes.
On a recent trip to Morgan Park
College the boys discovered it when
they tuned on music in preference
to his hero's radio show. "Aw fel-lahs,
please," sobbed Ray. "I haven't
missed The Lone Ranger in ten
years."

KIMBALL AND LAWRENCE
Stark tragedy will invade several hundred thousand American homes during
the next few weeks when the National Selective Service Act will call that
many young fathers into military service, leaving young mothers under the
responsibility of becoming both father and mother to their little ones. The
induction of the young fathers may be granted a-; a military necessity, but
that does not lessen the hardships and tragedies. It is only another of the
frightful fruits of war. These drafted dads have a right to depend upon the
Christian Church to give their young wives and little children religious instruc-tion
while they are away defending freedom of worship. This is one of the
most sacred trusts with which any body of Christians can be entrusted. Many
o, these young fatherF, will pay the supreme sacrifice by giving their lives to
defend the freedoms of this country. The Christian Church must not fail them.
We missed the cheerful faces of the North Park students during the
holiday vacation and are glad to see them visiting our lunch room again
