the wonders of creation as seen
through telescope and microscope,

camera men risked life and limb to
capture some of the unusual scenes.
Their adventures took them all the
way from dungeon caves to an ex-ploration
aboard the Hancock's
Foundation Research Ship.
Among many strangely beautiful
scenes, the camera reveals minute
flowers a hundred times smaller
than the smallest rose, strange
microscopic denizens of the sea,
glassed house plants called dia-toms,
minute animals with oars,
and the clownish ameba, which
look like animated ink spots for-ever
changing shapes.

CALLING ALL GIRLS Be sure to
take that final check on Emily Post
before Friday evening, March 14,
for that's the date of the Turn-about
Party, when the girls do the
inviting.
The party will climax the activi-ties
of Friday, Turnabout Day, when
the girls will be doing all the
little niceties they expect from the
boys each day, such as opening the
doors for them, carrying their books,
letting them go first, and perhaps
complimenting them on their out-fits.
The program, which includes a
movie, games and eats, will begin
at 7:30 in the gym. Twenty-five
cents will be charged for each
couple.
"We hope that all girls will co-operate,"
stated Carol Nordengren,
Y.W.C.A. social chairman, "in this
event which has become a tradi-tion
at North Park."

Please . . .
DO YOU HAVE a younger brother or sister? Do you
have a friend about to enter high school? Perhaps
you know someone in your church, active in Hi-
League work, who is of that age. Please, then read
the following.
Entrance examinations for the academy will be
given on Saturday. March 29. Students in all depart-ments
of the school, especially you who live in the
Chicago area, are asked to urge your friends of that
age to apply for admission to North Park, and to take
the entrance tests. North Park is a highly accredited
school. Some of you have studied here for one or two
years, and some of you as many as six years. From
your experiences, you should be able to influence such
young people to attend.
Not only does this apply to the academy level
of the school, but also to the college. Each student,
I'm sure, knows at least one person who would greatly
benefit by attending North Park, a Christian school.
Now is the time High School seniors are thinking about
their future education. The suggestion of North Park
from each student will greatly influence them in
their choice.
What has been discussed in this editorial is not
something new to the News or to you as student. But
it is something which in a small school needs to be
emphasized time and time again. Recently a North
Park student wrote a friendly letter to a friend, ask-ing
him to attend North Park. Let's take the example
of that student and do the same. Please, let's do it
soon.
How To Get an "A"
( Kent, Ohio) Raymond E. Manchester, Dean of Men
at Kent State University, has given some pertinent
suggestions on "How to Oct an 'A'" in his Saturday
Letters.
If one desires the first letter of the alphabet placed
in the small square at the right of the name when a
prof sends a record sheet to the registrar one must
take steps. Contrary to popular belief and contrary
to certain treatise on the subject, profs are members
of the human race and have virtues and vices com-mon
to typical specimens of aforesaid classification.
One seeking recognition and consideration should
study the matter carefully and follow procedures lot,g
established and many times tested.
Sophomores, through experience, trial and error,
invention and by taking dangerous gambles have
learned at least the basic principles and have a rea-sonable
amount of skill in inveigling a prof into plac-ing
the "A" in the proper spot. Freshmen are not so
well equipped, so advice is in order.
First of all one must be noticed. So when entering
the class room one should assume a determined pose—
walk with a feeling that one can scarcely wait for the
class to start. When seated the eager beaver should
take out a pencil and look at its point to indicate a
great desire to take notes with fury and flourishes,
hang on every word spoken by the prof with an air
of inspired suspense, laugh quickly at any point when
a witty remark is uttered and be sure to be an at-tentive
listener when a story is told. After the lecture
one should go to the desk and congratulate the prof
on his excellent performance and ask pertinent ques-
Letters To The Editor
Think Before You Act
Dear Editor:
We often act on impulse. It needs,
sometimes, to be done. Other times,
there is no call for it. Without a
sober thought, we act and then re-gret
the action. But the deed is
done. And What thoughtlessness
was forced on others in being and
in property cannot be effaced. This
is an awesome fact. Let no one
treat it lightly. May we, as students,
allow expression to our maturing
minds by giving serious thought
regarding our action's consequence
and effect and, thereby, halt a
foolish deed at the conception.
Respectfully submitted,
David R. Holm
Enjoys Chapel Speaker
Dear Editor:
In the last issue of the News
you ask for students' suggestions
or criticism of campus activities
and the way in which they are re-ported
in the News.
The only criticism of the News
that I have is that very little is
reported of what has taken place.
You tell what is going to happen.
but you don't follow it up with a
report of what did happen. How-ever,
that is not a very serious
fault; I like the paper very much.
My main reason for writing now
is this, that I want to thank the
college for bringing Dr. Frederick
Stamm to the campus. The chapel
tions relative to anything that may
have been touched upon. Some sug-gest
that one should help the prof
with his overcoat and rubbers and
leave some slight memento of ap-preciation.
One rather unusual suggestion
was made by a dean to the effect
that to get an "A" one should know
something about the course work.
Perhaps there is some merit in the
idea. Anyway, it wouldn't do any
harm to add this to the list of
suggestions.
—from the Augustana Observer

talk by this consecrated man of
God was, in my opinion, the bes
of the whole school year. It is so
refreshing to hear a man point ou
the way of salvation without his
using the hackneyed, man-made
phrases of every Tom, Dick and
Harry who thinks he is preaching
the gospel when he only rants. I
for one was very much edified ty
Dr. Stamm's sermon; in fact, it
made me resolve to commit myself
more wholeheartedly to my Lord
and Saviour.
Yours truly,

us "dead" in your editorial)

To Drop Classes
FRIDAY, MARCH 14, is the last
last day for dropping a course, ac-cording
to an announcement by
Oscar E. Olson, Registrar.
If you are dissatisfied with one
of your present subjects or are do-ing
unsatisfactory work, you are
urged to drop it before the above
date. Any course dropped after that
day will be recorded as a failure.

The latest organization on the North Park campus
is the Bachelor's Club. The members are Jersey Gus-tafson,
Tom Beers, and Junior Young. The rules are
very simple: to enter one must pay fifty cents and
must promise not to date a girl more than three times.
If a member breaks the rule, he must pay a dollar.

At least they wouldn't have to worry about going
over the net so often! tsk, tsk!
The Hjerpe House has been about as quiet as a
residence for Seminary students should be except for
Jim Lundell yelling "Amen." Too bad Jim is having
competition with a girl in Caroline Hall.
Dave Holm and Donna Noreen were so preoccupied
on the way home after the "Student Prince" that they
didn't notice Willy Solie and Judy Carlson driving
a1ong:1de of their car. Donna's excuse (get this) was,
"Anyone would have done the same thing."
Things haven't been buzzing around 5111 North
Spaulding, (Caroline Hall) but maybe in the next
issue—well, maybe! The residents are storing up ener-gy
for something tig. Ask Arlene Freedholm, Carol
LeVahn, Helen Johnson, Tex Ramgren, or Ardis Lun-dell
when that something big will happen.
GALS, start saving now! Turnabout weekend is
just ahead. Don't miss taking advantage of this—the
opportunity of the year!
How about the "Beard Growing" contest? Our pre-diction
is a tie between George Mazarr and Al Zim-mermann.
Setting a new vogue in haircuts is Charmaine Wal-lett

Marvin Jensen was contemplating placing a want-ad

We're glad to see that Dale Nelson got his car run-ning

Square dancing is something which will always be
in style wherever you go. Bev Eckstrom, Armour Swan-son,
Nancy Lindstrand, Bob Lofgren, Elaine Ide, Jim

Nelson recently attended and participated in the folk
games.
Judy Erickson and Signie Gilberg's room in Sohl-berg
Hall doesn't smell rosy, but it smells. Nothing like
the aroma of a king salmon from the waters of Puget
Sound in Washington, especially the juice when it has
been canned. Elaine Kroon, Marilyn Soderberg, Mar-lene
Dahlstrom, Margaret Carlson, Louise Benson,
Audrey Tournell and Helen Marie Blomgren, whose
father caught the fish, were those who helped to con-sume
it. Kroon tried to be helpful by helping to clean
the dishes, but she only succeeded in spilling the
salmon juice on Judy's bed. The room still reeks!!
Every night about 11:00 the true Swedes of Sohl-berg
Hall congregate in Ruth Memmola and Thelma
Johnson's room for coffee. Verna Hultman, Mary
Hanson, Marilyn Carlson, and Ardella Skog are the
faithful "drinkers" of this "Brain Food."

"Valkommen, Valkommen Kara Vanner"
Campus Greets Its Swedish Students
TO A GREATER or lesser degree,
every member of the North Park
family 'nas been aware of the fact
that several Swedish students have
been in our midst during the past
year. That awareness has always
been a pleasant one. A friendly at-titude,
an ever-present sense of
humor, and a sincerity of spirit
have been characteristic of them
all. There are six Swedes studying
at North Park at the present time.
Two of them are in the academy,
and the other four are taking
courses in the college ana seminary.
Lennart Lagerquist has been with
us since September, having arrivea
in the United States last July. It
was less than a month previous to
this that he was ordained into the
ministry of the Swedish Covenant.
It is to this ministry that he will
return in January of 1953. Lager-quist
has been assigned the two
Covenant churches at Falsterbo
and Skaniir in the southernmost
tip of Sweden, and according to
him, -they are two of Sweden's
most beautiful cities," situated as
they are on the Riviera of the
North. Before his four years of
study at the Covenant seminary at
Liclingo, Lennart spent most of his
life at the place of his birth, in the
500 year old city of Eksjii in Sma-land.
At the age of seventeen, he
availed himself of the opportunity
of taking a course in evangelism,
an act which indicated the direc-tion
of his calling. A few years later,
following his year of service in the
army. Lagerquist entered upon
those studies which terminated in
his ordination last June.
With the beginning of this semes-ter,
there came to our campus a
new group of Swedish students.
One of this newly arrived group is
the pastor. Ebbe Bolin. who came
to this country together with his
family last fall. He will be at North
Park until the end of this semester
when he will again return to Swed-en
for a summer evangelistic tour.
Mr. Bolin has for the last ten

years served the Swedish Covenant
as a district evangelist, making his
headquarters at his home in Gavle,
the city of which our own Dr. Nils
Lund is a native. Besides his church
work, Evangelist Bolin has also
found time to be the author of sev-eral
books. Translated into English,
the titles of some of these would
read: The King Is Coming, Revival
We Await, and In Name, A Chris-tian
Country to cite only a few.
Mrs. Bolin, who is now serving as
a nurse at the Covenant Hospital,
is also an author, having written a
text took for the Swedish Red
Cross. The couple have two boys,
Peter and Bill. The latter is now
studying at the academy, and from
all indications, he, too, will enter
into that field which his father has
pursued.

he served for a year and a half

United States or in Sweden.
Coming to this country at the
same time as Lagerquist, Arne
Carlsson has also been at North
Park since the beginning of the fall
term. He, too, comes from the
province of Blekinge. While help-ing
with the caring of the family
farm there, Arne attended two
courses in evangelism and there-after
traveled as an evangelist
throughout his native province and
neighboring Slane. Before entering
the seminary, he spent a two year
period of service in the army. He,
too, experienced the act of ordina-tion
even last June. His stay in
America will be somewhat longer
than that of his friend, since Arne
will not return to Europe until at

was observed at North Park last
week.
On Tuesday, March 4, Miss Ruth
Kasper led devotions and gave a
short talk on Mountain Missions
at a 10:30 A.M. meeting in Isaac-son
Chapel. At 2:15 P.M., the Rev.
0. R. Swanson emphasized the
necessity of our assistance in meet-ing
the needs of the people in the
various Home Mission fields. Then,
at 3:00 P.M., Miss Louise Klassen,
missionary to Alaska, spoke on the
needs of the children in that land,
and what is being done to meet
those needs.
On Wednesday morning, March 5.
Miss Edith Ohlson, missionary to
Ecuador, spoke in Isaacson Chapel.
A round table discussion, "Today's
Crisis in World Missions," was held
at 2:11. in the Chapel. Participating
missionaries were: the Rev. Carl
Branstrom, the Rev. Marian Enns,
Miss Ruth }Casper, Miss Louise
Klassen. Miss Helen Price, the Rev.
William Rigmark, and the Rev,
Sigurd Westberg. The Rev, Ralph
Hanson, secretary of Foreign Mis-sions,
was the moderator.
Mr. Branstrom and Mr. Westberg
both stressed the importance of
training native leaders to continue
the teachina: c.r, their own people.
Miss Price said that in Africa more
training is given to men, than to
women. The opposite is true in
Ecuador and Alaska according to
Mr. Enns and Miss Klassen. In
those two countries, the work has
been centered around the women
who will later bring their children
and influence their homes. Miss
Klassen also remarked that state-hood
for Alaska would be a helpful

While there are several chapels
holding services in the mountain
area, it may be a while before a
church can be organized, Miss Kas-per,
who works among these moun-tain
people, stated.
In many South American coun-tries,
such as Ecuador, political
conditions affect the position of
missionaries. Mr. Enns told of the
rising power of the Conservative
party, which is Roman Catholic in
religious belief. The Liberals, who
are more tolerant of foreign mis-sionaries,
seem to be losing elec-tions
and public favor.
Mr. Rigmark, whose field is Japan,
emphasized the fact that the major
concern of all the people of Asia
is food and how to get enough of it.
Communism versus democracy is
not the all-important issue to these
people.

Omaha Publisher's Library
BecomesBookMemorialHere
A VERY INTERESTING American collection of books on the
Scandinavians in America has been donated to North Park College. The
donor is Mrs. Nelson T. Thorson of Omaha, Nebraska. whose husband,
who died last November, devoted some forty years of research and energy
to the accumulating of this remark-able
private library. -
The collection, to be known as
"The Nelson T. Thorson Memorial
Collection," will be housed intact
in a separate part of the library.
Nelson T. Thorson, who was 70
years old, was the former owner
and publisher of the Omaha Posten.
He died on November 27 at an
Omaha Hospital; at the funeral
services held two days later, the
Rev. William Freeman, pastor of
the First Covenant church of Oma-ha,
officiated.
Mr. Thorson purchased the Oma-ha
Posten in 1909 and continued as
its owner and publisher until 1942.
He was a nationally recognized au-thority
on old stamps and coins
and operated the Omaha Coin and
Stamp Exchange.
Born at Horby, Sweden on Sep-tember
16. 1881, Mr. Thorson came
with his parents to Nebraska in
1887.
He received his early education
at the schools in Lincoln, Nebraska,
and on August 4. 1923, married Miss
Corrine Paulson, of Omaha, for
many years the director of music
in the Covenant church.
Mr. Thorson's many civic activ-ities
included the office of trea-surer
of the Tornado Relief Com-mission
in 1913; member of the
congressional committee of the
John Ericsson Memorial; national
treasurer of the John Ericsson Re-publican
League of America, 1926-
30, national secretary, 1930-36; a
25-year member and one of the
vice presidents of the Omaha Li
brary Board; member of Omaha
Symphony Board in 1931-1942.
Active in politics, Mr. Thorson
was a member, in 1912, of the Pro-gressive
State and National com-mittees,

EDITORIALLY
SPEAKING
How often are we guilty of abus-ing
our privileges? Perhaps it is
not a pleasant fact to face or may-be
you've never thought of it. Privi-leges
that are abused over a long
per ad will be taken away. This has
been true since the beginning of
time.
There have been many gripes
heard around North Park ever
since the announcement of the new
library system with which I'm sure
you are all familiar. Using the li-brary
at our own discretion was
something we took for granted—
and took advantage of. It was de-signed
to let the Academy students
do research, read for pleasure, or
do homework in a more comfort-able
and quiet atmosphere than the
study hall. The majority of the stu-dents,
however, did not have the
same idea about how the library
was to be used. It was generally a
little easier to get away with talk-ing
and "horse play" here than in
the study. This, in addition to the
fact that someone was not always
watching, made it an increasingly
popular place. The action taken by
the faculty was really no more than
we deserved. Nevertheless it is a
shame that the entire student body
is made to suffer.
This, however, is always the case.
When privileges are abused by some
all must suffer. On a larger scale
it affects cities and nations. When
citizens of a democracy do not live
up to the duties that they have in
exchange for their way of life, gov-ernments
become corrupt and all
rights and privileges gradually dis-appear.
It is necessary to form good
habits now. Our whole way of life
is in danger. Although the few
things we "forget to do now" are
relatively unimportant we are get-ting
into careless habits. Let's give
this a little serious thought and
apply it to all areas of life!
Music Makers
Need Support
The Music Festival this spring
will present a music organization,
the existence of which most stu-dents
do not know about.
Since early October this small
group, which calls itself the North
Park Orchestra, has been meeting
on Wednesday evenings in Hanson
Hall. Under the baton of Herman
Felber, they have progressed from
simple sight-reading to the mas-tery
of the compositions which they
will play at their concert.
Although it is composed mainly
of members from the college and
academy, Kelvyn Park, Steinmetz,
Amundsen, and Von Steuben High
S2hools are also represented. The
college students are: Carole Sahlin,
Paul Sparrman, Mary Bergstrom,
Vernon Boysel, Emil Rossman. Ken-neth
Hoglund, Robert Nelson. Diane
Geise, and Robert Johnson. The
academy students are: Bob Nelson
and Sherlane Stach.
At the concert, which will take
place March 26, in H23 at 8:00 p.m.,
ti" orchestra will play the L'Ar-
.renne Suite, the Unfinished Sym-phony,
and will accompany Carole
Sahlin in the last movement of the
Grieg Piano Concerto, Opus 16.
The first half of the program will
be by the college choir.

Rome Comes to NP FESTIVE EVENING
Saturday evening, March 8. at
6:30 the Latin Honor Society held
it's annual Roman Banquet. The
theme for the evening was "Nep-tune's
Palace" and the Gym was
decorated to represent a castle un-der
the sea, complete with sea
horses, tropical fish, monsters, and
even a treasure chest filled with
gold.
Eating with their fingers from
tables only a few inches off the
floor, the diners finished off a
dinner which consisted of ham.
vegetables, baked beans, a relish
plate. rolls, and dessert, a repast
of ancient Rome in theory only.
After "Cena" two skits were pre-sented
as the main part of the
program. The conspicuous event of
the evening came with the crown-ing
of Queen Dido and King Aeneas;
these distinctions were the awards
for the best and most authentic
costumes.
PLANNED BY BETA
The date for "Making Whoopee,"
a party planned by the Beta Girls
Club, has been set for March 22.
The party will include a play, in
the form of a musical ana will be
held in the gym. The girls who wart
to go should ask their datzs and
buy their bids which will be sold
for $1.00.
Any girl in Beta who wanted to
be in the skit was able to try-out
on March 4. The try-outs were
supervised by Miss Linnea Back-lund,
the club sponsor, and the so-cial
committee of the club.

IT GIVES YOU
MANY BENEFITS
There have been some questions
as to what the students' Activity
Fee is used for. The purpose of this
statement is to indicate the various
activities which are supported and
made possible by this fee.
The school News is given without
further cost to all students; the
yearbook, The Cupola, is sold to
students for the comparatively low
price of $5.00. Both of the publica-tions
must have additional funds
which are provided in part by an
allotment from the activities fee
and partly from the sale of adver-tising
space.
The Academy and College Stu-dent
Councils receive an appropria-tion
for their work. The Religious
Council shares in the fee for the
special series of services held each
semester and to bring speakers to
the Chapel services.
All students are given tickets to
the Tuesday Evening Lecture Series.
These programs are provided at a
substantial cost. From time to time
speakers are secured for special
assemblies.
The Infirmary, in charge of
trained nurses, is available to all
students for emergency service.
The supervision of the Social
Rooms is provided to give improved
recreational and social opportuni-ties.
The Athletic and Physical Educa-tion
program shares in the fee to
take care of field rentals, fees for
officials, equipment and transpor-tation.
It should be noted that North
Park's tuitions and fees do not
cover the cost of a student's educa-tion.
The school administration
must raise additional funds. This
is possible only because there are
friends who believe in the kind of
educational service which is pro-vided.
It is to this generous and
loyal supporting constituency the
school owes its existence.
FLASH - North Park Students
Picked Up by the Police! It's true,
too. Just ask the two Junior girls,
who were stopped downtown by the
Police for violating the curfew a
few Saturdays ago. If any of you
have good, strong files, just send
them to Caryl and Donna in care
of the County Jail.
Everytime you turn around now,
you're sure to see Christine Borck
and Russ Johnson together. Also,
Ginger Scheunemann and Tom
Nelson have been seeing quite a
lot of each other recently. Could it
be that .. .?
We're all wondering what was so
funny in the 1:05 U. S. History class
last week. Poor Allan Sandstrom
had a coughing spell and every one
laughed. But maybe they weren't
laughing at Allan after all. Maybe
they were laughing with him. Also
in that same class there has been
a flourishing correspondence of
notes between Alan Olsson and
Sonya Ottoson. They claim that
they're exchanging recipes!

Do You Know Our
"Mr. Fix It?"
Sanfred Peterson can well be
classified as "Mr. Fix It" of North
Park. Hardly a day goes by that
you don't see him building some-thing
new or repairing something
old around campus.
Mr. Peterson was born in Vas-
Sanfred Peterson
tergidtiand, Sweden. on July 1, 1869.
He will be 83 on his next birthday.
While in Sweden, he studied archi-tectural
drawing, and when he
came to the United States at the
age of 24, he took a job as carpenter
and cabinetmaker. Last year after
60 years in the trade, he retired,
although he still likes to keep busy
with part time jots.
A member of the Edgewater Mis-sion
Covenant Church since 1909,
he has lived in the North Park
community for over 30 years.
Mr. Peterson enjoys reading, and
he plays a good game of chess. He
is especially fond of his three
grandchildri n. one of whom will be
attending the Academy next Sep-tember.
Although he has been on the
campus only a short time and is
here on a temporary basis, never-theless
his friendly nature and his
quaint Swedish accent have already
become a part of the charm of
North Park.
Having recently sold his house on
Sawyer avenue, Mr. Peterson now
intends to go on a long trip: he
will visit his birthplace in Sweden
and travel around elsewhere in his
native land. He leaves Chicago
next month, shortly after Easter.
This will be his second trans-At-lantic
journey in two years.
"Who knows; I may spend several
years over there this time," said
Mr. Peterson.

Those who attended the footket-ball
game were impressed by the
skilled shooting of Tom (Darling)
Nordling, and Paul (Deadeye) Knott.
The inspired playing by these boys
and their teammates only served to
demonstrate that they should con-centrate
on football, while some
doubt was left as to what the hoop-sters
should focus their efforts on.
On the same day, the frosh-soph
team beat the bewildered juniors
of the football team, who just didn't
have the "stuff" to emerge the vic-tors
of the highly contested game.
One of the outstanding basketball
players In that game was Bram
Nelson, who seemed to forget that
it was a basketball game, and tried
to apply some football regulations.
With the basketball season offi-cially
over, there is talk of all the
College volleyball players being
afraid to play against Ron Norene's
team in the volleyball tournament.
HOOP-TEAM TOPS
PIGSKIN PLAYERS
The annual "footketball" game is
over and the grid stars have vowed
to stick to football for another year.
The hoopsters, despite the football
team's T formation, were the vic-tors
by a decisive margin, 37-15.
Although the football team was
expected to foul, the bucketballers
committed 19 fouls to the gridders'
ten.
Paul Knott led the fast charging
Vikings with two baskets. Bill Hun-ter
was close behind by tallying
for one hoop and one free shot for
ten attempts. Bill Muir and Tom
Nordling each had three. Ron Nor-ene
paced the victors with eight
points
The junior varsity gridders took
on the frosh-soph basketball team
before a roaring crowd of seven
cheering fans. The frosh-soph boys
had a tough time, with Bill Han-sen's
volleyball shot, Bram Nelson's
clean playing, and Bill Sewall's
driving lay-up. The frosh-soph fi-nally
outdistanced the football
team by a score of 21-13.
Faculty, College
Teams Victorious
The Academy Varsity team play-ed
against the College five in a
benefit basketball game held at
Von Steuben on Friday, March 7.
After a close first half, the College
boys went ahead to win by a score
of 47-32 at the end of the game.
High scorer for the Varsity team
was Frank Peterson, with eight
points. Tying for second place hon-ors
were Ron Norene and Art Nel-son
with six points each.
Playing in the feature spot, the
Faculty squad over-ran the Frosh-
Soph team by a score of 32-29. The
game was highlighted by the tricky
dribbling of "Bouncin' Hibbs" An-derson.
and the uncanny shooting
ability of Vernoy Johnson.

But Not Forgotten Athletic Spotlight
These are the five seniors who
played on the North Park Academy
basketball team for their last time.
Leading the list we have Art Nel-son,
co-captain and guard, who was
high scorer of the team. Art is go-ing
to continue on with his school-ing
at North Park College next
year. The other co-captain is Ron
Norene, who isn't quite sure as to
where he would like to go to col-lege,
although he seems to be quite
positive about other likes. He in-tends
to be an engineer. However,
Northwestern will probably find
him strolling about its campus next
year. Frank Peterson, who played a
forward, says that he hopes to go
to Wisconsin, where he will follow
a physical education course. He in-tends
to become a coach of some
team upon graduation from college.
Roger Chisholm, who played the
other guard, plans to join Ron at
Northwestern, where he will follow
a general course. He eventually in-tends
to become an engineer. Last,
but not least, is Jim Stromberg. Jim
will go to North Park College with
Art. This was Jim's first year on
the basketball team, as he had a
leg injury last year. He played the
center position as though he had
played ball for several years, how-ever.
These five players will be missed
by the team next year since they
held the team together this past
season.
College Splashes
Academy Swimmers
On February 27, the Academy and
the College participated in a swim-ming
meet. The College beat the
Academy 32 to 26. Among the events
were the 100-yard backstroke, the
40-yard free style, the 200-yard
free style, and the medley. There
was no fancy diving.
While the Academy was in the
lead it looked as if the team would
be able to carry out its threat to
throw Yank into the pool, but this
plot fell through when the Acad-emy
lost the medley.

Once again Volleyball has gained
at predominance and of
course this means the eagerly
awaited Volleyball Tournament.
This year more than ever, the guys
and gals from both the College and
Academy have been so enthusiastic
about the sport that a record num-ber
of twenty teams are entered.
These twenty teams will attempt to
handcuff the rampaging Faculty,
which last year handily captured
the tournament. The Faculty prom-ises
to have a tough club again, but
they "ain't gettin' any younger"
and with the talent displayed by
the other teams, well—maybe!!
Anyhow, a lot of fun and excite-ment
is assured—win, lose or draw.
Due to the number of entries, the
teams have been sectioned into
three leagues; the National, Ameri-can,
and Dixie. The teams play a
round-robin tournament meeting
each team in their league only
once, and starting March 19, the
top four teams in each section will
engage in an elimination schedule
which will determine the three top,
medal winning octets. The teams
play a "best of three" series with
the first matches beginning at 4
P.M., and a total of three matches
on each day's agenda.
In the American League are the
Polekats, Pygmies (probably all six
foot or over!), Acadalums, Jerks,
Slow Poke, Things, and the Fac-ulty
entrant. The National Division
Is composed of the Cemetarians,
Little White Clouds, Unknowns,
Shrimp Boats, Charlies A. C., Top-pers,
and the Hi-Cers. The Seniors,
Joe's Pool Room, Debtors, Mooses,
Saints, Krazy-Kats and Timid Ten
comprise the third and final, Dixie
League. The girls follow girls' rules
while the boys are subject to men's
rules. All games are played in the
Gym and you can catch a thrilling
triple-header any afternoon except
Friday.

'The Modern Man Believes,'
Says College Chapel Speaker
THE IDEA that the "up-to-date"
man is a sophisticated individual
not telie%ing anything too much
has ly:en out-dated, the Rev. Gene
Bartlett, minister of Evanston's
First Baptist Church, said in chapel
on February 27. The revolution in
which we live has proauced a great
turnover. Now the truly modern
man says, "I believe with all my
heart and soul," and thus he is
anchored against the drift of the
stream, but yet is afloat milith
changing levels. A basic question
we must answer is, "What is the
meaning of life?" If the world is a
stage and men are players is there
a plot and a playwriter? Another
central question: "What is your
basis for community?" Although
the signposts of yesterday's world
are down, Jesus Christ still says,
"Thou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart, and thy neigh-bor
as thyself." By these words we
must stand.
On February 29 the chapel speak-er
was Dr. Frederick K. Stamm,
speaker of "Highlights of the Bible,"
former pastor of the First Congre-gational
Church of Chicago and at
present a representative of the
Fellowship of the Reconciliation.
Dr Stamm advised that the one
who is seeking God needn't cross
the seas or heaven but should look
inside his own heart. "Stir up the
gift within." Jesus always did what
he thought was naturally and spon-taneously
right without asking
questions; he simply let his light
shine. Dr. Stamm emphasized that
we should not make judgments on
the basis of prejudices but rather
through sound reasoning and think-ing.
In the days of Christ, many would

College Whips Acad.
Faculty Beats Soph
The benefit game turned out
be a hilarious success Friday.
March 7, as North Park students
filled the stands to see the College
defeat the Academy 47 to 32 and
the fancy Faculty win their game
32 to 29 over the Frosh-Soph.
In the first quarter the Academy
gave the College trouble, sinking
one basket for everyone the Col-lege
put in. The first quarter score
was 9-9, but the college went ahead
at half time 20 to 17. The acting
coaches, made up of the managers
of each team, then took the boys
in for a half-time pep talk.
In the third quarter the Acad-emy
tried to out-run the College
but this turned out to be their
downfall as our boys widened their
lead to 13 poins. With the com-bined
efforts of the manager-coaches,
who donned shorts but
forgot their shoes upon entering
the game in the last few seconds,
the College squad ended their sea-son
on a riotous note.
The comedy show, put on by the
Faculty, eked out a victory over
a serious Frosh-Soph team. The
teachers must have slipped the refs
a few bucks to get away with the
football tactics they used. Relying
on the platoon system to enable
them to last out the whole game,
the Faculty fed to Vernoy Johnson
who had little trouble in dropping
the ball through the hoop. Bibbs
Anderson pulled a little Globe-trotter
special with his fancy ball
handling and worked the ball into
Ken Safstrom who looked like an
old hand at the game.
EIGHT PLAYERS
RECEIVE LETTERS
One of the toughest jobs of a
coach is the picking of a limited
number of players from his squad
to receive the school letter for
faithful participation in a sport.
The '51-'52 basketball season saw
no single standout player, but in-stead
each player doing his best
for the team. Following the rules
set up by the athletic committee
(North Park News, January 30,
1952), eight players and two man-agers
were selected to receive the
NP. Congratulations, boys!

LINDGREN'S LINES
Season Averages
After a span of thirteen hectic weeks and twenty games, the 1951-52
Viking's hoop season is now a memory, one which we hope can easily
be obliterated from our minds. A team which we thought at the be-ginning
of the season to possess real possibilities aggregated one of the
poorest records in North Park basketball history: three wins and seven-teen
losses. Why?
This column feels that the basic reason for the team's failure was a
lack of teamwork, a lack of playmaking on offense, and a lack of co-ordination
on defense. We feel that this lack of teamwork was brought
about basically by a lack of proper training, which was in turn the direct
result of a lack of: (1) proper coaching facilities, (2) hard work with
the team by the coach himself.
By coaching facilities we are referring to the school gym. How can
a coach, no matter how skillful, turn out a winning squad when he
has use of the gym for usually only two and at the most three practice
sessions a week, one of these times sharing it with one of the Academy
squads. This was especially fatal at the start of a season, when our
five ran up against other teams that had been practicing five times
a week, thus having worked as a unit twice as much as they.
After considering various factors, this writer still feels that we
should really have had a better ball club than we did with the ma-terial
on hand. A team consisting of Dave Kjell, Paul Johnson, Butch
Lofgren, Art Edstrom, and notably Ed Dwyer is no slouch team man for
man; the job is to teach them to work in harmony; that's where we
failed. They were plagued all season by a lack of plays, undoubtedly one
of the team's main shortcomings.
At any rate, we feel sure that North Park won't have a winning ball
club next year unless: 4 1 ) some arrangements are worked out so that
the team can have more practice sessions in the gym so that the boys
have more chance to play together and synchronize, and (2) the coach
makes use of the sessions to instill some teamwork in them through
teaching them some fundamental basketball plays.

to be one of our best defensive
players. Butch was especially ef-fective
in breaking up a press with
his skillful dribbling.
Another of "Charlie's" interests
Is Hill-Billy music, and he conse-quently
is an avid listener of the
Suppertime Frolics. If you want a
treat, get Butch to sit down at a
piano with his stack of songs; he
can keep going as long as you
want to listen.
Good luck Butch-you have prov-ed
yourself a leader and a great as-set
to your team.
Joliet Wins Tourney
On February 28 Joliet won their
second consecutive Illinois Junior
College basketball tournament by
defeating LaGrange 73 to 52. This
was the tournament in which North
Park lost their first game to Mo-line;
Moline went on to lose to
LaGrange.
Playoffs will begin March 19 with
the first four teams in each league
competing.
Sports Night To Be
Fascinating Show
Just two weeks from next Fri-day,
North Park College will be
the number one spot in all Chicago-land.
An event so spectacular and
rare has probably never been ex-perienced
on the campus. A full
evening of thrilling entertainment
has been planned for those lucky
enough to secure one of the lim-ited
number of tickets. For one
night and one night only our own
North Park Gym will be the sport-land
of America.
Among the events listed are
championship boxing and wrestling
matches, expert tumbling exhibi-tions,
finals of the ping pong tour-nament,
and a weight lifting show.
Later on in the evening you will see
diving exhibitions, a unique water
ballet, and a number of other un-usual
events and surprises. All
will be given the privilege of vot-ing
for a sports queen and her
court while the band renders some
new versions of some old melodies.
Remember, the seating capacity
is limited, so plan to save this date,
March 28, and get your ticket. The
evening is sponsored by the Let-termen's
club, and they promise
this to be a highlight of '52.
Cinder Practices
To Open March 17
Gordy Thorell, Rollie Carlson,
Evans Fay, and Vaughn Rudnick
represented North Park in the one
mile relay held at the U. of Chicago
fieldhouse Friday, March 7, run-ning
against fast competition from
Morton, Wilson, Wright, and La-
Grange. The first four qualifiers
will be entered in the Chicago
Daily News Relays. The Vikings
came in fifth, trailing by a scant
six seconds, and therefore did not
qualify.
All track men are to report next
Monday, March 17. As soon as
weather permits, practices will be-gin;
a schedule of practices will be
on the bulletin board in the locker
room.
Bruce Lake Cops
Diving Conference
Bruce Lake came through again
to take a first in diving at the con-ference
swimming meet held at the
Jewish People's Institute, Friday,
March 7. Beating Rucker of Wright
and Poncar of Morton, both of
whom had previously defeated Lake,
Bruce took North Park's only first
as the team came in fourth with
ten points. Wright won the meet
with 47t points, followed by Mor-ton
and Wilson who had 27'4 and
19 points.
Other place winners for the Vi-kings
were Marston Swanberg and
the four-man and medley relay
teams, both placing fourth.
College Beats Academy
Challenging the Academy to a
swim meet, the College dunked
them 35 to 27 on February 28. One
individual first was taken by the
College; Gordy Thorell churned the
water to take first in the 100-
yard breast stroke. Ryding follow-ed
Gordy to place second. Both the
medley and the four-man relay
teams beat those of the Academy to
pull the College out of the hole and
put them in the winning position.
Bill Sheppley placed second in
both the 40-yard free style and the
100-yard back stroke races. Third
places for the college were taken
by Lake and Arnquist.
On February 27 the College trav-eled
to Wright's pool where Lake
took a second in diving.
