MISS GRACE DIVINE,
GONIRALTO, PRESENTS
DELIGHTFUL PROGRAM
Large and Appreciative Audience
Witnesses Splendid Concert
Given in the College
Auditorium.
The third number of the Musical
Artists' Course was given on Friday
evening, February 7, by Grace Divine,
contralto. A delightfully varied program was presented to the audience
in the college auditorium.
I.
Aria—
"Lieti Signor"
Meyerbeer
from Les Hugenots.

Lincoln's First Public Speech.

From An Address to the People

of Sangamon County, at the Age of 23 Years, March 9, 1832

U

PON THE SUBJECT of education, not presuming to dictate any plan
or system respecting it, I can only say that I view it as the most
important subject which we, as a people, can be engaged in. That
every man may receive at least a moderate education, and thereby
be enabled to read the histories of his own and other countries, by which he
may duly appreciate the value of our free institutions, appears to be an object of vital importance, even on this account alone, to say nothing of the advantages and satisfaction to be derived from all being able to read the Scriptures and other work both of a religious and moral nature, for themselves.
For my part, I desire to see the time when education—and by its means
morality, sobriety, enterprise, and industry—shall become much more general than at present; and should be gratifled to have it in my power to contribute something to the advancement of any measure which might have a
tendency to accelerate that happy period . . . .
But, fellow-citizens, I shall conclude. Considering the great degree of
modesty which should always attend youth, it is probable I have already been
more presuming than becomes me. However, upon the subject of which I
have treated, I have spoken as I have thought. I may be wrong in regard to
any or all of them; but, holding it a sound maxim that it is better only to be
sometimes right than at all times wrong, so soon as I discover my opinions
to be erroneous I shall be ready to renounce them.
Your friend and fellow-citizen,
A. LINCOLN.

The first number, the difficult Aria,
showed Miss Divine's amazing control of a surprisingly clear and powerful voice. The second group gave
proof of the genuineness of that control and beauty of tone with the light
Italian number at the end, displaying
the wide range of the flexible voice.
The third group, entirely Spanish and
showing the usual beauty and lightness characteristic of that nationality
captured the audience completely.
Miss Divine flnally consented to sing
an encore, an English song, "When
I Love You."
The fourth and last group, all sung
in English, was followed by two encores, "The Top O' the Morning to
You" and "My True Love Hath My
Heart." The applause which called

and Mrs. Stein, wife of Dr. Stein of
the Lutheran Church. Her talk was
based on the verse of Saint Paul's
epistle to the Corinthians that tells us
to covet the best things of life. Mrs.
Stein used as her example of men following this admonition, Washington,
Lincoln and our "Unknown Soldier."
Washington built and endowed a
beautiful church; he built and furnished a beautiful home at Mount Vernon. It was Mrs. Stein's good fortune to visit these places last summer
and she seems to feel that only when
a person visits these places can they
feel what must have been the feeling
of Washington, when he left this
beautiful place.
Why did he leave home and accept
a place in the army of the Colonies?
Because he desired the higher things
of life not only for himself, but for
others as well. His faith in God is
shown by the inscription over his
tomb. "I am the resurrection and the
life."
When in the city of Washington at
the Lincoln Memorial, standing in
such a position that you can see out
over the city to Washington Monument, you feel for the flrst time the
anguish and desolation that was Lincoln's. It was this great turmoil that
enabled him to write that memorable
speech known as the Gettysburg Address.

MISS DUBOIS GIVES CHAPEL
TALK ON ART APPRECIATION
On Wednesday of last week Miss
Dubois gave us a practical demonstration of what Art Appreciation should
be. Slides of the pictures and decorations on the walls of the Capitol in
Harrisburg were the subject of her
talk.
Mural decorations are used to emphasize structure, to decorate or to
tell a story. The titles of some of the
pictures that are hung in this beautiful building are "The Spirit of Light,"
"Justice," "The Interior of a Steel
Mill."
In the House of Representatives
the picture of the "Hours" which is
on the ceiling seems to be the most
famous. Two other pictures by Abbey, "The Founding of the Commonwealth" and "Penn's Treaty" also
hang there. A third picture by this
same painter which was not finished
at the time of his death has been finished by Violet Oakley. This picture
is called "The Declaration of Independence."
One more group of pictures is
worth mentioning, those in the Governor's reception room.
These pictures were also done by Violet Oakley and are on the general theme of
Religious Liberty. Miss Oakley has
shown that careful study has been
placed in the material for her work.
She is now working on a mural of
"Peace," using the members of the
Peace Conference as her models.
On Thursday morning, Dr. Armstrong followed up Miss Dubois' talk
with the statement that all teachers
should know the beauties of their government building. In this day of
automobiles it should be possible for
everyone of us to see the beautiful
paintings we possess.
She—"Adeiu."
He—"You do?"

"Right this way" was the ensuing
cry in the gymnasium on Saturday
night, and it gave evidence of the fact
that the annual Y. M. C. A. Circus
was in progress. The flaps of the
tent were thrown open at 8:00 o'clock
and the first sight which greeted the
patron's eye was a galaxy of blankets,
sheets and other forms of coverings
strung on wires across the sides of the
gym. At first it was thought that
possibly this was an exhibition of
needle craft, but the various signs
pinned on the blankets proved that
behind these coverings was the mystic
array of the side show.
There were quite a number of
unique presentations offered in this
part of the circus which ran all the
way from "The Sweetest Thing on
Earth," portrayed by Jimmy Risch in
a virtual manger, to the Green Pig,
which was a mirror in a cage to chagrin the onlooker by giving him a view
of himself. Between these two extremes were found Harold McElvaine
representing "The Perfect College
Student," in an environment of romantic magazines with a neglected
typewriter in front of him. Of course
there was the usual fat lady and Al
Sekulla was hor. He said he had a
large evening and was the object of
much razzing. Next to the fat lady
was an art exhibition that would have
made Angelo green with envy, and
various contemporary designs were
on view. Two hoaxes were in vogue
in the form of Oregon Red Bats, a
pair of bricks in a barrel, and "The
Greatest Swimming Match in History."
Here the "suckers" saw a
match in a mere bucket of water. Perhaps the cleverest part of the side
show was "Paradise On Earth"—a
pair of dice showing seven up, superimposed on a globe—that idea is
worth having patented. Miss Noel
lent her services as a fortune teller,
being kept busy all evening by those
wishing a glimpse into the future.
Soon an annoucnement was made
that the big top performance was to
start and immediately there was a
stampede for good seats. Bob Bollinger and Moon McMullin started off
the athletic show with a fierce struggle for flstic supremacy, but also the
result was a double knockout. Following this bout, Russ Bohn and John
Kachik wrestled it out and here again
the verdict was a draw. It was about
this point that a little bystander was
heard to remark, "Ah, it's like all circuses, it's nothing but a frameup.''
Then Russ Bohn again appeared with
Ray Zaner as his partner and they
gave a remarkable exhibition of gymnastics and tumbling. Next Jimmie
Risch entertained with a vocal solo
accompanied by Ken Miles. This went
over big and the boys, were encored.
We are wondering where Jimmie has
been hiding that tenor voice. Last
but not least there was the silhouette
operation by the famous Venetian
surgeon. Dr. Russel W. Bohn.
The crowd was allowed to scatter
again to the side show booths and refreshment stands. Shortly after the
big show, a group of training school
boys, under the direction of Foster
Augustine, gave one of the most

famous of these are: Shakespeare,
Chaucer, Lydgate, and Charles Duke

Drayton, a poet of
Shakespeare's time wrote thus charmingly of the day:
My lips I'll softly lay
Upon her heavenly cheek,
Dyed like the dawning day.
As polish'd ivory sleek:
And in her ear I'll say,
"Oh thou bright niorning star!
'Tis I that came so far

It seems St. Valentine, who was a
priest in Rome, had nothing to do with
the day except that his day was accidentally chosen for the celebration.
St. Valentine was martyred in the
third century. The greater part of
his remains are preserved in the

a gate was formerly named for him.

COLLEGE TIMES
THERE ARE EYES AND EYES
There are eyes and eyes and eyes:
Blue ones, brown ones, grey ones,
green ones and eyes that are just
eyes. Some are fringed with long
black lashes, some with short, stubby
ones, and some apparently have no
lashes, but all the same they are eyes.
Did you ever notice a pair of cool
grey ones waiting patiently in the
main hall for a pair of sparkling blue
ones to come along? Then the blue
and the grey meet and they are content to stare into each other for long
minutes. Watch for a pair of lovely
brown ones at the post office each
morning. They gaze at a certain little cubby hole with a number pasted
on it. 'Then they close with a quick
jerk and soon they are racing back
and forth, scanning a letter. Slowly
the lids drop over them, as the owner
closes out the rest of the world; then
they open slowly again and smile at
everyone. There are other eyes at
the post office too. Some twinkle
with pleasure as an oblong of paper
slides into a little box, some snap
with anger when the box remains
empty.
There are library eyes too. The
kind that comes into the library and
stops at the second door, looks around
for the pair that is supposed to be
there. Once across the table from
them the rest is comparatively easy.
One pair signals, "If she weren't
standing so near"—and the other pair
replies, "That's all right—send a
note."
In the past three weeks many eyes
had hunted looks in them. But that
is all past now, for examinations are
over. Then there is that pair of wistful, blue-grey eyes that belongs to
the girl with red hair. They seem to
long to be in some faraway land
where everything is calm. The severe amber eyes that come from the
girls' day room. Amber, so clear that
you can almost see through them.
They dance around in spite of the
owners' efforts to control them. Then
the innocent young lady is accused
of flirting.
Eyes filled with tears are very effective, in fact, they rarely fail to
work no matter what the object in
mind may be. However, there are
other ways that are just as effective
some time.
Eyes are the most expressive
things. Besides being nice to look at
they are very handy, when in an embarrassing situation. Every one has
them. All they need is a little cultivating—be they blue, green, brown or
grey.

that our Junior High boys can do

10 30 when "Home Sweet Home"
sounded the close of the circus. No
doubt some were a little tired from a
strenous evening, and perhaps somewhat financially depleted, but there
is also no doubt that everyone had a
good time. Here's for bigger and

CHARIVARI

Y. W. C. A. NOTES

Such an enormous amount of unauthoritative and sentimental persiflage has been written about Abraham
Lincoln, that he has become more or
less (and chiefly more) of a saccharine and blatant myth to the majority
of Americans. But there have been
various sincere and intelligent students of Lincolnians, who have gathered the results of their research into
sympathetic and authentic volumes.
Perhaps the most beautiful of all Lincoln biographies, in both style and attitude, is Carl Sandburg's "The
Prairie Years," which sketches comprehensively the Sangamon County
period of Lincoln's life. Charnwood's
"Abrahani Lincoln" and Ludwig's
very late biography by the same title
i.re both exceedingly flne.
Of the novels in which Lincoln is
the protagonist, Honore Willsie Morrow's "Forever Free," "With Malice
Toward None" and "Benefits Forget" are the finest. Mrs. Morrow has
devoted much of her life to the study
of Lincoln material, and in her stories
is revealed the every-day character of
the Great Emancipator.
Katherine
Holland Brown's "The Father," a
twenty-five thousand dollar prize nov(1, and Irving Bacheller's "A Man
For the Ages" again describe the prepresidential, Springfield lawyer portions of Lincoln's career.
Poetry, too, has not neglected Lincoln. Edwin Markham's "Lincoln, the
ilan of the People," is perhaps the
most dynamic of all Lincoln poems,
lidgar Lee Masters' "Anne Rutledge"
tommemorates the New Salem romrnce. Walt Whitman's "When Lilacs
Last in the Dooryard Bloomed" and
"Captain, My Captain," are resounding elegies, which magnificently eulogize the ineffably noble Lincoln.

Charlotte Mahaffy led the Y. W. C.
A. meeting on Wednesday evening,
February 5. The program was a commemoration of Abraham Lincoln.
Mary Barnard read Edwin Markham's
"Lincoln, the Man of the People" at
the opening of the meeting.
The
reading was followed by a solo by
Frances Stokes.
Peg Beeson took from a study of
Lincoln's character the three traits,
humility, reverence and humor and
from them presented a very real picture of the Lincoln that we all know.
Among other things Miss Beeson said
that Lincoln always had the feeling
that someone else was more powerful
than he was and even in his reelection
speech he says that he is grateful for
their confidence and that it is no
pleasure for him to triumph over anyone.
Along with humility is the closely
related characteristic of reverence.
These two were the controlling factors of Lincoln's life in all he said or
did. Lincoln had a deep reverence
for truth, his mother, the Constitution
and God. He always felt there was
someone else higher above him.
The humor of this great man was
of the very best kind. He always had
something funny to say no matter
how serious the affair was, so it played an important part in his life. Humor kept him from taking life too
seriously.
In the summary it was suggested
that we try to adapt these traits to
our daily lives.
The singing of the Y. W. hymn,
"Follow the Gleam" and the repeating of the Mispah benediction brought
the meeting to a close.

VARSITY FIVE FALLS
BEFORE MANSFIELD T. C.

fitted nicely into the machine-like
play of the team.
During the third quarter the locals
began to falter slightly, but managed
to stay within two points of the highpowered Mansfleld quintet. As the
last quarter wore on, it was evident
that Mansfleld was going to have an
easy time grabbing the decision as
Coach Morgan's boys, while not doing
much offensively, were putting up a
whale of a defensive game that completely baffled the big Blue Five.
With only a few minutes to go and
the game still a nip-and-tuck affair,
Mansfleld came through with three
successive double-deckers to clinch
the decision. The flnal score was
^2-26 and it goes without saying that,
while the game was lost, much comfort can be secured from the fact that
the Raiders have shown a steady, consistent improvement and would bear
considerable watching.
The next game, scheduled for Friday, February 14, should be a wow.
With Shippensburg as an opponent
and on her own floor, a real battle
can be expected as the locals defeated Shippensburg here earlier in the
season by the score of 38-34 after an
extra period of play.
