"Proclaim Christ." Each part of the heavily scheduled program seeks to develop that theme. Be­ginning at 9:45 a. m., morning sessions will survey the work of missions in the six main mission fields, and will give glimpses into personal lives of missionaries, re­vealing actual situations where God has manifested Himself on the field.

Afternoon sessions will first sur­vey the methods in which mission­ary work is carried on, by evan­gelism, through education and medicine, translation, youth work, preparation and radio. Discussion groups will then form, discussing the geographic areas where mis­sionary endeavor is carried on. These will be followed by discus­sion groups considering mission­ary methods.

Wes­ley Gustafson, national secretary of Foreign Missions Fellowship, will present the cail of God and its relationship to the individual stu­dent.

Violinist Heard By Townsfolk

Hugh Ewert, concertmaster of the Portland Symphony Orchestra, was heard in violin recital at Wood-Mar hall sponsored by the junior class on February 8.

Mr. Ewert appeared before an audience of over ninety people in the chapel of George Fox college in a program which contained a variety of musical styles from Concerto Op. S by Vivaldi and se­lections from Handel's Messiah to If With All Your Hearts by Men­delssohn and Czardas by Monti, ar­ranged by Ewert.

In addition to the regular pro­gram numbers, Mr. Ewert was called back for two encores. These were Sarasate's Gypsy Air and Pizzacato from the Sylvia Ballet by Delibes.

Immediately following the re­cital, a reception given by the fac­ulty in honor of Mr. Ewert and his guests, was held in the Kanyon hall parlor. Cookies and cake, made by Miss Helen Willcuts were served. Coffee was poured by Mrs. Paul Parker. Marvin Baker, jun­ior adviser, was host for the re­ception during which Mr. Ewert was presented to the faculty.

former student of George Fox, is the new colege nurse this semes­ter. She holds clinic regularly at Kanyon hall informary each Wed­nesday at 1:00 o'clock. She re­places Miss Carolyn Langford, of Oakland, California.

The highlight of the evening was the coronation ceremony when

King and Queen or Hearts; John Wood, Salem, Oregon; and Donna Jefferson, Bremerton, Washington, were elected by popular vote of the student body to rule over the formal Valentine party.

Capacity Crowd Packs High School For Third Annual Quartet Festival

"Standing room only" was in order last Sunday afternoon at Newberg Union jhigh school when the GFC Singing Men presented their third annual Gospel Quartet Festival.

Freshman Represents GF At Oratorical Contest

Robert Adams, freshman from Kamiah, Idaho, represented George Fox college at the Inter­collegiate Forensics Association of Oregon's annual Peace Oratorical contest at Willamette university last Tuesday, speaking on "The Japanese Peace Treaty in Relation to Christianity", stressing par­ticularly religious views of peace.

The winner, Marilee Crawford from Lewis and Clark college will represent Oregon in the national contest sponsored by the Inter­collegiate Peace Speech associa­tion.

The orations given were presua-sive discussions of some topic of vital importance to world peace today. Each contestant composed his own oration of approximately 1,200 words. The speakers were judged on. thought, composition and conversational style of deliv­ery.

two hours early. The program, under the guid­

ance of Roy Clark and George Bales, got under way at three o'clock with the quartets proceed­ing on a round-robin between crowds crowded in the gym and auditorium. The blending of male voices definitely took the spot­light, as the quartets were called on by the enthusiastic audiences for many encores.

Male foursomes from all over the Pacific northwest participated in the two and one-half hour fes­tival of song. Heading the list of participants were the inimitable Four Flats; the Harmonaires, 1952 Portland Youth for Christ Quartet Jubilee Champions; and the color­ful Chordsmen, the only negro participants. Other quartets in­cluded in the program were the Four Men of Note; Moreland Naz-arene Gospelaires; Northwest Christian college; Portland Chris­tian high school; and the Voice of Faith radio quartet.

The festival was broadcast di­rect from the stage of the New­berg high school auditorium by radio station KMCM and due to its popularity was rebroadcast once again on Monday evening for thousands of radio listeners.

A reception for all participants was held following the festival in the GFC dining hall. The third an­niversary of the organization was celebrated with a buffet luncheon. In a surprise ceremony Roy Clark was named honorary president of the singing men and was present­ed with a gold trophy by Klane Robison, president of the organi­zation. Welcoming addresses were given the gathering by Frank Starkey, representing the student body of GFC and Dean Donald McNichols, representing the col­lege administration.

the result of the balloting held on Tuesday was revealed.

Master of ceremonies. Bill Mc-Leland, called John Wood from the audience and placed a gold crown on his head. The king then escorted Queen Donna to the throne where he crowned her with a coronet of red carnations. They took the place of honor upon a white throne backed by a large ruffled red heart.

Upon- arrival the guests joined small groups of play games. Im­mediately following, Bill McLeland took charge of a short program.

The program consisted of two solos by Marilyn Barnes, "Sunset," and "One Alone"; Marvin Baker and Marian Perry gave readings; and Betty Brown played a vibra-harp solo, "Down by the Old Mill Stream." Several men were call­ed from the audience to partici­pate in a match-box derby. At the conclusion of the program Gene Hockett led the group in singing choruses. Devotions were given by Paul Puckett

To complete the evening red punch and heart-shaped cookies were served by Mrs. Mary Dade and Enid Briggs.

The dining hall was decorated with the traditional red and white colors. Red ruffles and hearts adorned the windows. Red shaded lights cast a rosy glow over the room.

Gay Foley, Jo Hendricks, Joan DeZell and Yvonne Hubbard were in charge of conducting the var­ious group games.

The SCU sponsored the party as a combined reception for the new second semester students and a Valentine party.

Donna Jefferson, social chair­man of the SCU, and Lydia Mc­Nichols, adviser, helped the var­ious committee plan the party. On the refreshment committee were Pat Keppinger and Betty Brown; Myra Sullivan and Yvonne Hub­bard were in charge of the pro­gram, and Muriel Hoover and Don­na Jefferson were responsible for decorations.

And They Sought to See . . . "And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and

could not for the press . . ." Luke 19:3. This state­ment was made in reference to Zacchaeus as he tried to see Christ, who was traveling through Jerico.

To paraphrase, slightly, the Biblical quotation, "And they sought to see Jesus who he was: and did through the press . . .". In publishing this freshman edition of the Crescent, the main objective of the editorial staff has been to clearly depict the stand­ards upheld by George Fox college, that of living Christ daily in all affairs—classejs .sports, deputa­tion, school functions and other activities—as well as maintaining a high level of, scholastic require­ments.

If this is true in this publication the goal will have been achieved.

Wanted: Success Many a GPC student, after takng a shocked

look at his semester grades, has then and there made a solemn pact with himself to study harder in the new semester. This is a very simple resolution to make, but, as with all resolutions, the saying is easier than the doing. Now the semester is one sixth over and more than merely a beginning should have been accomplished. It would be a fairly safe prediction to state that as the semester is begun, so it is finished. Therefore, let us make sure we are achieving as much as we feel we should.

It does not take a college freshman long to real­ize that the key to accomplishment is self-xlescipline. This is the theme of his orientaton into college. The degree of self discipline may be said to be correlative with the degree or success the student realizes.

Let us take stock of our attainments to date, check up on the rate at which we are approaching our goals, and plan our future work accordingly. The cultivation of self-discipline is hard, but its fruits are sweet.

—D.P.

Ladies Before Gentlemen No chivalry today? Who said? Perhaps the

days of knighthood have become history, but it is evident that men of George Fox college still have a gallant spirit.

This sense of propriety is shown in all areas of the campus. Who leads the way on the canyon bridge ? Remember it's rickety. Who pulls the chair out (too far) when being seated in the dining hall? An.d don't the fellows let the girls sit in the front row of the classroom?

The Twentieth Century Chivalry speeches a few weeks ago seemed to make an impression on the male population on the campus.

—B.B.

Prayer for Prayer's Sake . . . Many separate prayer meetings, held in the

dorms, classrooms, or any quiet spots available, are proving that GFC students are conscious of the effect of prayer has on their lives, and the lives of others.

It is wonderful to note that GFC students real­ize the important point is to Whom they pray, not what they pray.

Blake-Starkey Tell of Engagement

The engagement of Miss Bar­bara Blake, freshman of Sher­wood, Oregon, to Prank Starkey, ASB president from Chico, Cali­fornia was announced Thursday, February 7.

The scene of this sacred occa­sion was our own chapel in Wood-Mar hall. Dominating the plat­form was a large red and white heart containing the verse, "Let the words of our mouths and the meditations of our hearts be ac­ceptable in Thy sight, O Lord . . "

Small red hearts bearing the words "Announcing our Engage­ment" and marking the hymn se­lection were concealed in the song books.

Klane Robison, tenor, sang a specially arranged version of "My Task." Following this the couple appeared and Frank placed a dainty diamond on the finger of his bride-to-be.

turnip field and yet that was five years back. Strange how I was always the happiest when I was out surveying or working with numbers.

"I wonder how I would have felt then If I had known that in three years Lord Fairfax would appoint me as official surveyor of Culpeper county. Yes, I know I am young for such a position, but I trust by labor is compensating for; my youth.

"These years of surveying have been satisfying to me, at any rate. Already it has given me a sense of achievement. But I must not feel that I have achieved, for I haven't! There are years ahead . . . With the disturbances in the colonies, perhaps it will be my lot to be able to share in putting an end to the strife and unrest caus­ed by Britain's increasing tyran­ny."

Thus it was that he stood in care ful meditation on the dawn of his eighteenth birthday, look­ing across the panorama, beyond the rising sun, yet little dreaming of his life to come—George Wash­ington, future father of his coun­try.

Freshmen Found Frenzied Finally After seeing all these, master­

pieces I still can't help but won­der why anyone would thing that we freshmen are below normal mentality. Just wait—after this edition we are really going to get a head.

Is this part of our initiation We are handed a paper (not even a pencil, mind you) and told to get busy and finish our assign­ments by Friday. So we poor dis­illusioned freshmen tackle the man-sized job of putting out one edition of Ye Olde Crescent.

We are told that we must spell all words correctly and use prop­er English. Now ain't that a stoo-r pid thing to tell a freshman? As if we don't never spell words write or use good grammar. I was in-salted.

With those pointers in mind, however, I hegan feverishly to tackle my assignment. With per­fection and grace I accomplished the task of writing up the game of last Thursday night. What I still can't figure out is why the editor tore her hair, screamed "You poor soul" and ripped my work of art to shreds. After all, doesn't Dick Zeller play tackle? And I was positive that Norman was the shortstop. And why should she get mad because Woody is water buoy? (Maybe I got it turned around) It was a good bawl game anyway.

After receiving a gentle hint that my story needed more work I set out to see how the others were doing.

Bob Adams was madly scribbl­ing a volume on something about FMF confetti.

Orville Winters had a big scoop on the quartette festival. Some­where he got wind that there would be four men from Note (some foreign country) who were Uncalled Four but they were com­ing anyway by Gospel Airelines because their car had Four Flats.

VALENTINE SURPRISE Lois Bain, freshman from

Portland, and DeForreat Fletch­er, a senior from Friday Har­bor, Washington, announced their engagement at dinner last evening.

The surprise was revealed by small red hearts saying "Lois and Woody" in the bottom of individual nut cups. Lois wore a corsage of red roses.

SERMONETTE

Yes, But What About.. ? "Lord, and what shall this man

do?" asked impudent Peter as Christ gave his disoiples their fin­al instructions. He was concerned as to whether the other disciples were going to do their part.

Christ answered Peter's inquiry by saying, ". . . what is that to thee? follow thou Me." John 21:22.

George Fox college student body is looking forward to a series of special meetings. Many are al­ready concerned that definite steps will be taken. However, if each one attends to his own busi­ness, not worrying whether or not the other efllow is doing his part, everything will move along in or­der. To paraphrase Christ's an­swer to Peter, He tells us, "Oth­er's affairs are none of your busi­ness; you follow My-bidding."

CO-OP CACKLINGS The other night as I was in the

Co-op I saw various and strange sights. DON PEARSON was LUC (1)Y spending his money. BET­TY BROWN was complaining about the hard chairs, but she seemed to be in great COMFORT. MARION PERRY, who likes dogs, said she might take charge of some (KENN.d)EL. MARION CLARKSON seemed lost. He was just WANDAring around. WAL-LY DELANO kept asking about the PRICE of things. JERRY CARR kept mumbling a poem about old mother HUBBARD. JACK HOSKINS said he had a ROSIE future before him. When I asked ORVILLE WINTERS what kind of songs he liked best, he said BALLA(r)Ds. NORMAN said that if- he stayed in Oregon much longer he was going to have to grow WEBERed feet. TED EICHENBERGER got a new type­writer with ELITEa type. No one could leave the Co-op when it clos­ed because WANDA PIERSON was standing outside with a BB-gun.

# * « Question of the week: Where

was LOIS BAIN when WOODY FLETCHER went to Olympia, Washington between semesters ? Also, what happened to his moust­ache.

BILL got a phone call the other day. It was from STANFIELp but he thought it was CANFIELD and asked Paul for a date.

* * * We have found out that LEA

WILKINSON'S favorite song is "Hark, the HAROLD Angels

Popular demand has revived this poem.

You can always tell a senior by his long and sedate gown,

You can always tell a junior by the way he struts around,

Yo,u can always tell a sophomore by his sober look and such,

You can always tell a freshman but you can't tell him much.

* * * When FRANK STARKEY got a

ticket for some mechanical defic­iency with his car, he said, "So soUy officer, I'll get a BLAKE for it."

* * * By the way, have you heard that

cupid really has been on the job? Is seems his arrow hits only sen­ior men and freshmen girls, how­ever. Pretty good, huh? You up­per-classmen had better see him for a little assistance. He seems to have done a pretty good job for Ruth and Bill, Frank and Bobby, and Woody and Lois.

* * * "Girls who can't add can always

distract." Just thought I'd pass along that meaty maxim.

* * * Well after one like that I had

better stop, so like the north wind does, I'll blow.

Foreign Interest At Trefian Meeting

Mrs. Charles Haworth, wife of GFC Spanish professor, spoke at yesterday's Trefian meeting on 'Cuban Culture in Contrast With

American Culture." Mr. and Mrs. Haworth were missionaries in Cu­ba for about 13 years. Mr. Ha-worth's informal talk portrayed tlie various customs of the Cuban people.

The Scottish brogue of Mrs. F. W. Meyer entranced the members of the Trefian Literary society at their last January meeting. She presented the Scottish poetry of Robert Burns and interesting in­cidents of her own life.

Mrs. Meyer arrived in the Unit­ed States when a young lady in her late teens, and later settled in Dundee, Oregon, where she and her husband now live.

After the program the tradi­tional second semester tea was served.

Main Singer Dies; Opera Cancelled

Because the main character of the opera, "Die Fledemiaus," died and the opera was cancelled, Miss Barbara Sill's music -appreciation class, has postponed its music night to a later date.

The comic opera, "Die Fleder-maus," seemingly jinxed from the start, was scheduled to have play­ed in the Portland Civic auditor­ium, February 16 and 17.

Not long before the close of the production, the leading char­acter, Donald Dame died sudden­ly. Although previously warned by his physician to take it easy or leave the opera company, Dame was said to have died from over­work.

The final epitaph was written to the production when the Metro­politan traveling company cancell­ed all engagements following their appearance in Minneapolis. I t was revealed that the immense expense of scenery, costumes, lodging, and top rate performers had caused the production to close.

Dribbles . . .byElmer Well, fans, the 1951-52 basket­

ball season is rapidly drawing to a close. Seven games are remain­ing on the schedule, five of them being conference tilts.

If the Quakers can take the re­maining conference games they will end up in a tie for first place in the Metropolitan league. "If" is a small word with a big mean­ing. Also, if the Quakers lose another league game the cham­pionship will be a very steep pull.

<, * * The age old story "a ball game

is not over until the final whistle," was again proven on the local hardwood last Friday evening. The Concordia Lutherans left both players and fans in a stupor with a comeback rally which left the Quakers a, heartbreaking defeat, also dropping them to a tie for second place with Oregon Dental School.

* * « It will be a game between the

midgets and the giants tomorrow night in Hester gym as GFC goes against the Economy Drugs from Hillsboro in a non-conference tilt. We have received information that Wilbur Pearson, 6', 6" center who played for the Hillsboro Argus, will be helping the Druggists in their attempt to avenge an earlier loss to the Quakers. With Wilbur Pearson and Joe Joraus you can see where we get the idea of giants.

Attention or recognition is hard­ly given to a JV team. Of course this is probably somewhat expect­ed, but the Quaker JV boys are doing a good job this year of pro­viding preliminary entertainment for the Varsity games. They and their coach have put in many long hours of practice and hard work.

Quakerettes Gain First Victory

George Fox's Quakerettes won their first victory of the season Tuesday night over the Portland Christian high school girls here. The final score was 33-13. The Quakerettes held the lead through­out the whole game.

The teams were composed of freshman and sophomore girls from George Fox and the girls from Portland Christian high school.

The game was a practice game and the high school girls did fair­ly well considering that this is their first year of organized bas­ketball.

Louise Ralphs, graduate of GFC was the visiting team's coach.

Gay Foley officiated as umpire and Marjorie Larrance as referee.

High point honors went to Lois Burnett of GFC with 17 points.

Composing the Quakerette team were Muriel Hoover, Jennie Adams and Lois Burnett as forwards and Lavelle Robison, Marilyn Barnes and Wanda Smith as the guards.

Dorothy Williams was both scorekeeper and substitute.

The boys and their coach, Woody Fletcher, deserve a lot of praise for the hard work they have done this year.

The score was very close dur­ing the first half. Nancy Foley's leg was hurt during the last min­utes of the second quarter. Mar­jorie Larrance, the manager, sub­stituted in her place. Larrance played the third quarter, but guard Virginia Peters, took her place during the fourth quarter.

The halftime score was Sher­wood high, 18, and GFC, 15.

Sherwood's Carolyn Young took scoring honors for the evening with 16 points. Marilyn Huston led the Quakerettes with 11.

BALESMEN MEET W.U. FROSH Tomorrow night the Balesmen

travel to Salem to meet Willam­ette university's Frosh in a pre­liminary to a jayvee game. It is predicted to be a gruelling and hard fought game though. Al­though the Frosh are a good deal larger, the Balesmen are an ag-pressive, hard fighting team and will definitely give the Frosh a tussle.

Sports Flash Tonight's game with Oregon

Medical School has been can­celled.. A substitute game with the First Christian church of Salem, twice victors over the GFC JV's, has been scheduled here on the home floor. There will be two games, the prelim­inary starting at 6:45 p. m.

Quakers Meet Rival On Home Floor

The Balesmen quintet will face a revenge-seeking Reed crew on the Quakers' maple next Friday evening in one of the most import­ant games of league play.

Earlier in the season the league leading GFC five struggled from behind to gain a 55 to 51 victory over the disappointed Reed. Quak­er foul shot accuracy aided con­siderably in the win. Free throw percentage for the GFC squad was .524 against Reed's .143.

Reed was edged out in one game last year 63 to 62 by a sim­ilar Quaker team, but in the oth­er walloped them on their own floor. However, GFC has made some valuable additions in fresh­men, Orville Winters, and Elmer Kendall, while on the other hand, losing valuable Cliff Ralphs and Fred Littlefield. The odds seem to be slightly in favor of the Bales crew but evenly enough divided that victory for either is possible.

Lutherans Top Quakers in Final Minute; Take First Place in Metropolitan League

The Concordia Lutherans over­came an 11 point lead here Fri­day, February 8, to topple the Foxians and hand them their sec­ond conference loss.

At the s:art or tne game, both teams were unable to find the hoop. Finally Hein swished two buckets from the field and started a rally for Concordia which found them in possession of an 18 to 13 point lead at the close of the first quarter.

Gerald Lemmons, fiery guard for the host team, made four quick buckets plus a free shot to start a landslide of Quaker points which culminated in a halftime score of 33 to 27 in favor of George Fox.

Nigel Shockey duplicated Lem­mons' feat by dunking four field goals and one charity toss in the third quarter to push the Quakers out into a 14 poine lead. GFC led at the start of the fourth quar­ter 57 to 45.

With six minutes of playing time remaining, the Concordia quintet started the comeback ral­ly that resulted in a final victory and which gave them the undis­puted first place in the Metropol­itan ' league.

Kendall, high-stepping forward for George Fox was ousted via the foul route. Lemmons and Martin were also pulled when they com­mitted five miscues.

Only a few seconds left to play, Friefall swished a short shot to throw the Lutheran five into a 2-point lead.

George Fox drew a foul and took the ball out of bounds with two seconds left to play. Field passed to Ralphs who took a des­perate shot from the sideline. The Quakers' cause was finished as the ball careened off the side of the backboard.

Dentists Give Fox First League Loss

The Oregon Dental School hand­ed the Quakers their first con­ference loss; 46 to 38 Friday, Feb­ruary 1, in the Reed college gym­nasium.

It was a cold night for the lo­cals as time and time again they came in possession of the ball but failed to score.

The Dental crew monopolized the ball a big share of the game as they used a ball-controlling of­fense.

In an attempt to break up this semi-stall employed by the Den­tists, the local five used a press­ing defense. But their efforts went for naught as the Dentists began to pull away in the wan­ing minutes of play.

Although the Quaker boys were under par, the score reveals that the game was a low scoring cop-test which was due also to the type of slow breaking, set offense used by the Dental School.
