FOREWORD If all the threads of life at Goshen College could be gathered and woven into one, it might be possible to put Goshen into one book such as The Maple Leaf. As it is, we hope this book, as you pass its pages, may bring back to you, our fellow stu- dents, and express to you. our friends, some of the experiences, the good times, the hard times, the work, the friends and all the things that together have made for our Alma Mater a shrine in our hearts. May the spirit that has dwelled among us be breathed over its pages and go with it and you down thru the days when only memories of this year live.

The Maple Leaf E i g h t f The Mennonite Board of Education THE Mennonite Chiireh has founded and established schools for the express purpose of surrounding her young people in the pursuit of knowledge with that religious environment which will make them loyal and staunch supporters of the princijdes and practices of the Church. The one great task committed to the Church by the Master is to preach the Gospel, hence religious education should be the primary function of our schools and the Bible should receive the chief emphasis. Their principal purpo.se is to train young people for definite service for the Master in the Church that gave the institu- tions birth. Not only should the fundamentals of salvation and the high moral standards upheld by all evangelical denominations, be taught, but particularly those teachings and prcatices that distinguish the Mennonite Church from all other denominations, for it is these distinctive teachings that give us a right to exist as a separate denomination and for the maintenance of which our schools were established. The aim of the Mennonite Board of Education is to make the institutions under its charge strong, religious centers in which are to he fostered the ideals and standards of Christian living and service upheld by the Mennonite Church; to help create and main- tain such an atmosphere and standard of scholarship as will produce loyal, devoted and well-trained men and women for effective and eflicient service in the Church: ami to promote the educational interests of the Church consistent witli tlie spiritual interests committed to her by the Master. II. F. K. Tlie first step to kiidwled.i; Goshe The Maple Leaf A Resume— Nineteen Eighteen THE historian of future years, as lie casts a refleotivi look n]Hin the si-hoiils of our land during our first year in the fireat War, will no doubt view many changes from previous years. The drafts upon the resources of the nation have affected every phase of life in every nook ard loriier of our vast domain, and, in an especial way, have placed an added burden uium tlje educational system As President Wilson wisely declared, there is more necil than over, if our land is to be stronger yet in the arts of peace after the days of war are ]iast, that thoro and amjde training be afforded our young JOHIM ELLSWORTH HARTZLER President 1913-1918 men and women. Goshen College has tried to M ' .ei-t this need to the best of her ability during the i)ast year, in sjiite of the increased burdens brought by the war. As was expected, and in common with all other colle,t;es, the enrollment of students wag reduced from that of last year. The number (Fall term — ISl!; Winter term — :;i4: Spring term — 167) shows an average decrease of twenty jier cent. It was the first year that the registrar ' s book has fai ' cd to s ' .unv an im rease. The decrea.se was especially noticeable in the spring term since n any of the uioii enroUeil were compelled to leave by the sjiriiig drafts for the national army.

In the latter tl ' .c past year niarUs a new era as the school was able to otVei for the lirst time a complete course leadin-; to fhi ' H. S. decree. Another imporlunt chan ;e in the faculty was brou;;ht abnul by the resi;;iial ion of 4! GEORGE J. LAPP. Pres President .lolin E. Ilartzlcr. . ftcr almost five years of earnest and loyal effort to build up the standanls of (ioshen College in every way, years in which he won the respect and love of succeeding! student bodies, the administration of F ' res. Ilartzler came to a close. Upon a change in administrative policy and executive nianaficment by the Board of Education, his resignation was accepted and Pres. Ilartzler severed his official connection with the school. We are assured, however, that in the new field of work which he now enters, he will continue to be an active and loyal supporter of the college, that, as the The M Ei (jh t I years go by, the .school may attain still liifiher standards and fill a still broadei ' place in the needs of the community and the church which she serves. The duties of the president have fallen upon a very capable and talented man in the person of George J. Lapp, one of our own Alumni and for many years engaged in the mission field in India. His training, his appreciation of student life, and his years of activity in the forward work of the church combine to give us a president of eminent qualifications, under whose guidance we can be confident of progress in all lines. In conformity to the new policy, Prof. .1. E. Weaver, the experienced and eflicient liead of the Business School, was made Business Manager. We are also informed that plans are being laid for a financial canvass of the constituency by the Board of Education, to liquidate all the outstanding debt and provide a substantial endowment without which the college cannot hope to continue to fill its largest place. As was previously mentioned, there was a noticeable change in the lite of the school during this year. While there remained the same oiitimistic and enthusiastic spirit always found among virile youth, there was added a new, more serious tone. The in- tensity of the great struggle in the world outside the College Halls seemed to have communicated itself to the life within. Standards of Campus life were higher and the prevailing religious spirit became deeper and more vitalizing. One manifestation of this was seen in the sacrifice offering made by the students and faculty in behalf of the suffer- ing millions of the world ' s unfortunates. A total of .$1272 was contributed for this purpose. In other lines student activities were carried on with the customary vigor and earnest application. It may indeed be said that the j ' car of UHS has seen the standards of Ooshen College jjlanted high on the hills of progress. And tho war-clouds have hid the sky, another year ot substantial and i)ermanent achievement has been written into the records of our Alma Mater. Goshen College CuUitn. InJ.ana DANIEL S. OERIG, A.

But to the happy, carefree freshman upon his first auspicious entrance within its gates, college is a very different reality, than to the departing graduate who stands at the close of his college year in the fading twilight of his last senior days. To the one, it is an unexjdored promised land filled with the milk and honey of great expectations, to the other it is indeed a promised land attained, but more than that, a battleground of victories and defeats, of battles fought with all the strength and courage of the greatest tho yet they were mere skirmishes in training for the farthest front of life. Graduation! It is but of a moment quickly past and yet ' tis of the years. ' Tis nobly eonijiassed and yet the consummation of a noble task. And while the whole fulfillment of one goal, ' tis but the crossing of the bar beyond the inner harbor into lif outer active sea. Goshen College G ox h r n .

They are nsnally fewer in nnm- ber, but they are wiser, O, far wiser. The present Sophomore Class is no exception. While in numbers we have dwindled from the sixty-seven of our Freshman days to a scant but significant twenty-three, we have lost none of the spirit which characterized us as Fresh- men, — the spirit which tauyht ns to fight hard, to win or lose with equal grace, and to profit by our mistakes. And who can say we have not profited. ' As we think of our class, however, and look back to the preceding j ' eai-, and reflect upon those first glad days when each member was to the other an unread book, and the turning of each page brought new delights; days when we revelled in the joys of new associations and the strength our numbers gave us, then think that of that number more than two-thirds are absent, we are tempted to say, The glory is departed! Then, when we look about us now, and sense the deep, calm feeling of comradeship, — that feeling which comes only through close association with the trieii and true: when we glance at our reconl of achievements during the year in the tii-M of oratory, in the gymnasium, on the athletic field or in the classr n, we in (diiut;iri ' y exihiim, The glory is here!

The Manle Leaf FRESHMEN spirit is not evldesit the unobtrusive manner wliicU THE motto Perseverance conquers all ' is the predominatinj. ' spirit of the Fresh- man class. True to that motto, the class has labored faithfully and has won a worthy place in the institution. Altho a boisterous class is always ready to undertake diilicult taslis in a (piiet, cannot fail to bring success. Owing to the uncertain circumstances, the class tliat entered in tlie fall was not (piite so large in numbers as some of the previous classes. However, the Winter Term brought the total number up to fifty-eight, which was again decreased in the spring by tlie call of the draft and the passing farm work. A glance at the roll shows that the young men of the class were outnumbered by the ladies, in a striking proportion. This fact suggests that many of the ladies would be lelH unattended in social activities, but the contrary proved true. The Freshmen girls were in great demand for all social occasions by the upper class men, who contended that they were the finest girls that had ever entered the Halls of Goshen College. (Written by a Freshman — Ed.) Never before had the Freshman class more responsibility thrust upon it. 8. ' arcely had the year begun, before many of the upper classmen were called for military service, which condition made it necessary for the lower classmen to assume responsible jiositions. As a whole the class manifested an eminent spirit and took an active jiart in the Glee Clubs, Oratorical Contests, and Athletic Contests Not only were they represented in various enterprises of the school. The class was well represented in all Religioais work, large numbers, but they also showed a marked ability in the performance of their parts. Prom their behavior their first year here, and the attitude which they manifested towards all their varions tasks, it is evident that they will fully realize the significance of their motto ' ' Perseverance conquers all things.

This year there were two teachers that put in full time in this ilei artment The increasingly larger nnnilier of students at work is justifying the em- ployment ot two men in the department. In spite of the fact that new courses were or- ganized this year the classes reniained alenit tlie same size as last year The coinses are so arrangeil that students in other departments can take this work, and most of them have availed themselves of this privilege. There are only a few students who graduate from either the C ' oUege or the Academy that have not taken some of this work. Kach year there are those who choose their Major in the Bible School. The aim of the courses is to furnish religious thought ami inspiration to the student body. Those entering either College or Academy are tempted to neglect religious thought and life because of the pressing need for time to do their work thoroly ancl conser|uently will, unless some sjieeial [irovision is made, miss the real purpose nf their education.

I s( iiooL OF A(iHic ri;n HK THK insistent ilenianils of the industrial classes for educatiunal niijiortunities is brin;;- in}! about in the present system of eduiation a somewhat revolutionary reeonstruc- tion. I ' nder the system which was until recently so ' cnerally in vo);ue there was too little eouality ot opportunity. K !n(alion existed for the few who because of the ad vanta;;es aft ' onleil by jiosition or wealth enjoyed the privilejies of so-calleil culture. Only a mea{;re five jierient were accorded the ojjportunity of education. The other class, the ninety five jiercent, had little opportunity for self iuiproveii.ent. They had neither wealth noi leisure I ut weie forced to do all the labor and tke drudji ' ry. There grew up therefore among this class a s|)ivit of resentment against the leisure class, together with a stolid determination to secure for their sons ai. l daughters the opportuni- ties ami advantages en.joyed by the v.ealth . The latter were inclined to rejjnril tiic industrial classes with scorn and conti ' inpt. As a result there have arisen in private lite, as weP as in public schools, ilangerous class (lis tin(tions which even at jiresent are seiiously interfering with the jirogress of democratic education. So well en- trenched is the system of caste in many places and so strong is the sentiment created agains; certain distinctively vocational courses that it often be- come ' ; difficult to maintain classes. Meudiers of such classi-i are often dis- i-iimirated against ii ' a social way. L.. -. ■ - - ' ' ■■ ' j,j- 3 „,. . ,i.,y (iradually but mm- • even the most aristocratic ami e.xclus ive ae admitting the imjiortanie oi tlu trailes people in modern civiliza tirn. Whether the advocates of edu- cation for the tew ailmit it or not, the |iresent treml is strongly toward the type of train- ing that afford:, the imlustial ■ lasses the long-sought op]io)tunity for self di ' eloprneiit. Vocational eJui-ation is rapiill fii ilirn a jlai-o in I ' lsr j uU.ic si.hi)i I system ami it is lieic to stay. Class distinctions and caste s.vstcnis whether among j areiits or stndents in jiulilic school life must be crushed and prevented. To ;ive all an equal ojiportunity is the slo.aan of democratic education. It is therefore a question of ada] tinu th.e system to the needs of the masses. Goshen College occujiies in eiintatioral work a nniipie position. Its i-onstituency is almost exclusively a rural people who are interested in farming as an occupation for men, and home making as the chief vocation of wojnen. It is evident therefore that if the youufe ' men and women who legitin ately ion:e within this in.stitution ' s range of influence and service are to be afforded the largest o|)portunities for self development and culture, and if they in turn are to render the greatest service to the communities and churches in which they shall live and work, they must be given the advantages not only of cultural education but also an ojiportunity for training in those parti cular fields of vocational effoit in which our constituency is ])riinarily interested. The school of .Agriculture and the school of Home Economics were organized to satisfy a long felt need as well as a ileniand among our constituency tor such couises of training. In view of these conditions this institution is peculiarly .iustified in digressing from the beaten path of small colleges to the extent of incorporating into her system at least these two lines of vocational work. joshen G o«Ke n Cc -iioirr tki;m .stldknts ;;ri iilliir( ' .i.i iiii riliiratiiiiial lli ' lil i;i coiniiiiraf ivcly lu ' w.

The fatheis of the youn;; men whom this institution ho|ies to attract to her afiricultur al school have been in the past the best fainers in the world and these sons must u]ihold the standard. This will be jiossible we believe only by ad.justineiit of farniin}. ' methods to the constantly increasin r and changinfr problems of agriculture. It is becominfi more and more evident that the coining farmers can make this ad.jiistment only thru au intelligent LMit production. It is the earnest iinderstandinj; of the laws and principles goveniinj; ellii I ' urjiose and desire of the Agricultural Uepartnient to furnish young men who are interested in thin field, the opportunity to secure this training tinder the best Christian intluence It is the purpose of this department also to combine the theoretical class room and laboratory with jiractical e. -]ierience on the farm so that the student uiay have tlic op|iortunity to study the agricultural prolilcins from as many different points of view as possible To this end a large amount of necessary equipment has been placed in the agricultural laboratories during the past year and in this respect the de- partment is i re)iared to offer good work in the courses outlined. Tlie college farm altho it is by no means a model farm is constantly lieing iin proved, anil with its equipment and live stock is at the disposal of the young men in the department. Since agriculture is, under our own peculiar conditions, destined to take its place among the other departments of learning in this institution, those responsible for agricultural work will honest- ly endeavor to meet the definite needs and demands nf both those who su|)port us and those who come seeking the educational advantages we have to offer. The Maple Leaf Nineteen Eighteen The College Farm The College Farm is located just one third mile east of the i-ampu!? and consists of sixty acres of level jirairie land. It serves the two-fold purpose of furnishing a source of income to the College and providing an adjunct to the school of agriculture. Milk and other eilibles are furnished to the College dining hall from this source. The farm build- ings, live stock and equijmient on the other hand aie available to students for carrying out jiractical farm projects. From this point of view the farm is an outdoor laboratory where agricultural students may put into actual practice the theories of the classroom. It is the jrarpose of the agricultural school therefore to make the farm not only a financial asset but what is very much more valuable, a means of keejiing young men constantly in touch with actual farm problems. The College Farm is equipped with a modern sanitary dairy barn with large twin silos and mechanical appliances. During the past year a gasoline tractor haa been added to the equipment.

Alter two years of work we can truthfully make the statement that the Department is to lie a permanent pait of the Institution, for it is con- tirbutin}; an imjiortant phase to the (oljejje girl ' s training. The department has a threefold aim: first, to give to all a deeper appreciation of the art and science of home making and housekeeping; second, to gi i- training ami informa- tion to those who ilesire it for practical jinriio-ses in their homes; third, to prepare tliosc who wish to teach llouseliold Arts and Science in the jiublie schools. Tt is the aim to make the work very practical, to helji students realize the significant place which the hon e holds in the coinin.unity, state, and nation and then to aid them to meet this demand which comes to every membe . of the family. The home must continue to hold its high place in our ci% ili atioii, it n ust lontinue to ins|iire its members to high and noble livirg. but to do this the jiresent day honu ' must adapt itself to present day circumstances. FOOD CHEMISTRY The Maple Leaf Much of the work is carried on in the laboratory where the student denionatrates or proves the theoretical phase of the work. The large sewing room, kitchen and dining room on the second floor of the Science Hall are well equipped rooms for this purpose. The kitchen accomodates seventeen students at one time, the sewing room, fifteen. Most of the equipment for the department has been given by the Avon Literary Society. Economy of time, effort and money is emphasized together with cleanliness and neat- ness. Household administration, management, sanitation, hygiene, care and health of members of the famih-, food chemistry, choice and care of textiles; all these have a very important place in the department, for these are as necessary ' in the well kept and well ordeired home as cooking and sewing. The housekeeper and home maker must prepare in all ] hasea before she can consider her profession a success.

At that time tliero was a great demand for iiractical courses in bookkeeping, shorthand and general commercial work to fit young people for positions in the business world and the school was organized in response to this demand. From that day to this the School of Business has offered thoro and complete courses in all lines sufticient to qualify its graduates for work in the Com- mercial world. Scores of its graduates are to bo found in successful jirixatc Imsiness and as stenographers and bookkeepers for various concerns. Besides the regular students in the school of business who come f iT the commercial work only, many of the Academy and College students take elective courses in liookkeeping and typewriting that they may be better fitted to be efficient in tlieir chosen mcupatiojis. For the benefit of those special students, especially those interested in agriculture, a s|iecial course in farm bookkeeping is given. The aim of the Business School in all its work is to be thoroly practical and enable the student graduate to fit at once into any business position he may be called ujion to occupy. A certificate is granted upon completioji of the one year course and a diploma at the close of a full two vears ' course. ' Too low thev build who build belov. ' the skies.

Kiliuation is the process liy wliiili inirornicil, pi teiilial pciucis am! aliilities are de- velojied, modified and directed, to the end tliat the individual may become efficient in adjustin}: himself to the various elements of the environment in which he lives. This process is iirimarily a social function, and the school is the in.stitution especially charged with its performance. There can, then, be no more important work than that of the education of the child, and there is no more worthy calling than that of the teacher. Every teacher ought, before entering upon his work, be made to feel the dignity of his chosen profession. Tlic point from which all our eilucatidiial tliiiildag slmnld make its departure, ami to which all our educational thinking should return, is the chilil. His advancement and pro gress must ultimately be the standard by which all our educational endeavors are evaluated ' The teacher stands in closest proximity to the child and must of necessity understand child nature if he is going to deal wisely with him. . thoro knowledge of what one is teaching adds very ;;reatly t tlu ' success of the teacher. Teachers of elementary subjects generally fiml mie or mure of the commou branches which they have not thoroly mastered. The Ndrmal Sihmil provides review courses in the common branches which | rospective te.udiers may elect tci reuKkve deficien- cies in the mastery of subject matter. Teaching is both a science and an art. A body of effective methods of teaching in general and in teaching specific subjects has been formulated. Along with a mastery of these methods, students taking the Xormal eouise observe expert teaching and ilo actual practice teaching under supervision. In tliis w:iy theory and practice are intimately relatetl. In adiiition to all these items of equipment, the teacher must be provided with high ideals and noble purposes, a love and enthusiasm for her work, and a recognition that continual improvement is a condition of success. The Maple Leaf i gh t e e n With the addition of Miss Martin to the teaching staff, it has been possible to offer a wider range of courses, and also to give more attention to the observation of teaching and practice teaching. Both the Model school and the city schools have been used for this purpose. The interest students take in the work shows that it is well worth while. The enrollment in the Normal School has increased, and a larger number of those enrolled are staying for a longer course than required by law. All this indicates that teachers receiving their training in our institution are receiving an increasingly better I re]iaration. The Model School with Miss Ruby Terrill, an ex]ierienced Norira teacher, in charge is of great practical value to the prospective teachers. Here loth observation and practice teaching are done by tlie student. The school is supported jointly bj ' the township and the college. Miss Euby Teivill, Model Scliool Sl ' MMKK SCHOOL is a ilistinet siiccics oi ' scliool life. Tlie oijiaiiization of faculty mill c-oiiisos, the student lioily, the activities of the term are only in a very remote way if at all connected with the college which the students of the regular year know. Very few of the student organizations of the regular year exist thru the Sumnior term; there are no competitive deliates, no glee clubs, no interdass contests, no thousand and one interests which distract the attention of the student during the regular year. As a result the summer school student body seems to be nuirc of a compact, united body — that is, after the first attack of homesickness has passed and everyone is acquainted. The few ■activities which are carried on are centrally organized and directed. As the larger nundier of students arc either teachers or prospective teachers, the Summer School becomes in eiTect a Normal School. Courses are organized mainly for the teachers and the Normal department is strongly emjdiasized altlio a few courses are offered for the special benefit of those who wish to make up . cadcmy or College credits. Quite a largo attendance is also found in the business school. The vocational trend in education is seen in the great demand for domestic science courses aiid agriculture and large classes were organized in various courses in these departments. A jirominent feature of the normal school curriculum was the Model School. This was organized and conducted for a four weeks ' period by Miss Bertha McKenzie, a trained expert in this line of work. About fifteen or twenty children from the neighborhood are secured to enter the school for a few weeks and with these Miss McKenzie was able to give the prospective teachers both a good sample of exj)ert teaching and plenty of amateur practice. This special course is a strong feature of the teacher ' s training. As was predicted, the attendance fell slightly below that of former summers, yet not so much as was expected. The embarrassing feature fat least for the young men) was the superabundance of women students. The men wore outnumbered four to one but thej ' bore up manfully and did their duty well. The total attendance reached ].■?(). The lack of men hindered strong interest in sports. The pro.iected baseball team failed to materialize altho there was intermittent practice by such baseball fiends as Garberick and Meyer. The Athletic Committee appointed by the Dean with Meyer as chairman could do little more than encourage tennis and indoor basebal. Both became very popular, especially among the ladies. Among the baseball starresees developed were Miss Weller, Miss Mattern and Miss Pettis. The tennis association organized singles tournaments for ,ea the men and women respectively, the former being won by Mr. Bauman and tiie latter bv Miss Weaver. The religious interests were well cared for by the committee appointed by the Dean of which Miss Weaver was chairman. A 33ible Study class was organized which met week- ly on Monday afternoon under the leadership of Prof. Wea ' -er. The class tudied a very interesting book entitled The Social Principles of Jesus . Biweekly devotional meet- ings were also held on Thursday evenings at 7:00 o ' clock. At these meetings usually some speaker from the city addressed the students. As often as was possible these meetings were held outside on the college campus and were made very impressive as twili ht ser- vices. Among the speakers were Kev. VanNuys, Prof. Kurtz, and others. The literary and social life of the summer school centered about the ' ' Country Life Club ' ' . This was the one all-inchi.sive student organization anil practically the whole student body joined. Thru its various committees it provided literary jiro- grams every two weeks on Friday evening and socials whenever the occasion was fitting. The programs were arranged for both entertainment and instruction as well as for personal benefit to those who took part. Music, addresses, readings. orations, and debates held the same place as they do in the literary society program of the regular year. Socials were quite frequent and varied from a get-together social to start the summer to a wa termelon social at the close of the term. Several were held in the woods near the river and several on the campus. One especially to be remembered was The trip around the world . A great deal of the enjoyable part of summer school comes thru these social activities and these were certainly well conducted in the summer of ]917. The officers of the Country Life Club were as follows: President, H. S. Bender; Vice President E. A. Meyer; Secretary, Klingemian. Miss Beatrice iUKenzie Beatrice ' ' lear; Treasurer, Virgil The Music School furnished splendid eiitertainnjents in a series of recitals ;is well as in the constant practicing to be heard on all sides at all times. The mixed chorus was again organized but because of lack of male voices had to lie dni|i|)ed. This short article is by no means intended to exhaust the Summer School in all its phases and activities. Many things of great interest have been i)assed by. Mere mentimi of the attempted serenade and the red-light-Uicked-over episode, the Spaniards, Mota and (luidi, the Family Table, the great poets discovered, Lockhart, llaller :ind his F ' ord, Out- side Reading, Blosser ' s Park and a host of other things will bring back to the students a flood of memories of a very pleasant and profitable summer sjient at Goshen College in the summer of 1917.

Maple Leaf The Organization and Work of the Young People ' s Christian Association GOSHEN rOLLKGE has always stood for a strong religious life, for since one ' s life depends to a large extent upon the character of his spiritual self, it is evident that the religious phase holds first place. The students who have gone before have felt this and to meet the needs of the religious life of the student the Young People ' s Christian Association was organized. This organization is made uji wholly of students who have definite interests in holding high the religious standard of school life. To facilitate its work the Young People ' s Christian Association is divided into two main sub-divisions, at whose head are the Y ' oung Men ' s Cabinet and the Y ' oung Women ' s Cabinet respectively. Each of these cabinets, composed of ten members, is directly re- sponsible for the religious efforts among the students. On many points they cooperate and yet since each has its specific duty, the work can be carried on more systematically. The cabinets have been meeting weekly thruout the year for prayer and definite planning of the work. The aim of the Y. P. C. A. is to foster and maintain a strong religious atmosphere among the students and to helji them develo]) a normal and wluilesome Christian life and character. It is recognized that intellect without religion must ultimately fail of the highest in life. For this reason every effort is made to jnit the jirojier influence upon the religious nature of the individual. From this high aim it can easily be seen that the organization is of vital importance in the place it seeks to fill in the student life. Thru the various departments of its work it strives to touch the student at every point and give opportunity for the complete de- velopment of his best self. The Morning Watch, the Bible and Mission Study couress, the weelxly Praver and Devotional Meetings, the religious work outside of the college, indeed all ]ihases of the work have as their one common aim, the incorporation and exemplifying of the principles of Jesus Christ in the life of the student. Each cabinet has its President and each cabinet member under him is chairman of a carefully selected committee which is to assist him in his particular line of work. The President of the Y. M. Cabinet is President of the Y. P. C. A. while the President of the y. W. Cabinet is Vice President of the Y. P. C. A. The cabinets are carefully selected with the help and advice of the Pastor. To more fully describe the nature of the work done, a liriet o utline of the work of each particular department follows: The inembershi)i committee looks after the new students as they arrive, cares for their baggage, heli)s them in getting located and in every way tries to have those .iust entering feel that there is a real interest taken in them. Each student is urged to become a member of the V. 1 ' . I ' . A. and thus enter more fully into tlie real nature of the work.

Among the special meetings of the year the ••Life Work ' Soiios stand out prominent The Maple Leaf N i n et e ly. The first meetings were yiven over to a discussion of eneral prinoiples in choosing a life work. Following this each evening thruoiit the week, special phases of life work were taken up, such as the ministry, the Christian business man, the educational field, the rural field, the home, home missions and foreign missions. It was the aim to have the spirit of the meetings such as should enable students to make a declaration to live their . S YEEPER CORPS lives under the direction of God and follow tlic lcadcrshi|) of Christ. A umnlicr did so and some made definite decisions declaring their willingness to become foreign mission- aries if God jpcrniit. The nipetiniis seemed to biing out clearly the great opportunity and responsibility of living at a tin e of such world urrcst and strongly emphasized the need of definitely incor|Mir;iting the juinciples of Christ into everyday life.

Problems which Chalienfje the Band, Meetinj; the Church ' s Challenfre, Modern Beacon Lights, The Messa ;e of .Icsus. Livirif; and Doing, The Chris- tian Worker ' s Kquipnient and other toidcs closely rclateil to tluse. There were also a few meetings for open discussion. On Keb. 24th the Foreign ' ulunteer Band gave a jiro- gram to the Christian Workers ' Band. They eniphasi .eil the challenge of the non-Christian worbl to the Christian students of America during the ])resent worlrl crisis. The Christian Workeis Hand we believe has maile a definite contribution to the ro- ilgious life of the students during the past year. Many have becii lironglit to think se- riously on their place in the activity of the church ami not a few li;i e decided to (dVer themselves for foreign ami home n)ission work.

Its membership is composed of those members of the faculty and of the student body of the institu- tion who have definitely decided upon worlc in the foreign mission field as a life- career. The aim of the Band is to strengthen the purpose of its members, and to aid students outside the Band to give foreign mission service due consideration in deciding their future vocations. Meetings are held every two weeks. The programs are varied in nature, consisting of addresses by [lersons vitally interested in the cause of missions, or of round-table dis- cussions of tlie [iroblems which the ' oh ntcer must face. Prayer is made an imjiortant part of each service. Several public programs have been given, in which the various needs and demands of the mission field were presented to the students. A number of new members have been added during the year. These have added tu the spirit and enthusiasm of the organization. The total nundier of members is now fifteen.

Maple Leaf Stndents ' War Friendship Fund NOVEMBER 20th will be a memorable day in our history, for on that day the call came to Goshen College to do her bit for those who are suffering. In response to the appeal Goshen College gave as she has never given before. There had been general sentiment for some time among the student body that we were failing to do our part in face of- the great need and opportunity open to us. This sentiment crystallized into a demand for some definite participation in the great move- ment oi friendship and sacrifice for war relief which is now sweeping over the whole stud- ent body of the nation, as well as over every local community. In response to this sentiment the Y. P. C. A. made plans for a campaign during the week Nov. 16-21, which was to culminate in a rally in the Thursday morning chapel ser- vice. In preparation for this final day there was a week of publicity to bring directly before each student the demands of the world upon him for sacrificial giving. Bulletins were posted showing what other colleges have done, and a goal was set for Goshen at $700. Special prayer groups met daily for the success of tlie work and a final conjoint devotional was held on Wednesday afternoon. When students and faculty gathered in I ' hajicl Hall on that Thursday morning there was evident a tenseness of expectation and yet a deep spirit of resolve and determination that Goshen could and would step forward into the ranks of those who willingly serve. Detailed preparations had been made and after stirring speeches by Pres. Hartzler and Pres. Smueker oi the Y. P. C. A., and a prayer by Prof. Kreider, the hour came. Secre- taries were on hand to record the subscriptions as they came in. A stenographer was busy on the adding machine. The thermometer was marked for a .$700 goal and a $1,000 top limit. Many doubted that a body of two hundred students and faculty could reach the goal, but when the subscriptions began to come in and the thermometer mounted higher and higher, all doubters beat a hasty and ignominious retreat. In a few minutes $500 was reached; in five minutes $700 was passed at full speed, the $1000 thermometer was soon shattered and the secretaries overwhelmed by the mass of subscriptions. The final tabula- tions showed $1272.75 subscribed in those ten minutes by ajiproximateh ' 155 persons. Goshen had heard the call and responded magnificently. With a student body of 180, the total $1272.75 meant an average of $7.07 per student. This is all the more significant if it is remembered that bj- far the greater majority of students at Goshen are paying their own way thru school. It was not a gift from a surplus nor a gift from the home folks . It was a gift to be paid by extra work and sacrifice. The actual day of subscription was however only the beginning. The students ob- served a save, sacrifice and send movement for the whole year. Practically all student organizations eliminated refreshments from socials, or greatly reduced the cost. Individ- ual sacrifices were made in many other small wa.vs. A sacrifice box was placed in the reading room which was added to dailj ' and contained a tidy sum by the end of the year. While the money raised will surely be of great use wherever it is spent to help those to whom war has brot much suffering, yet we feel that more than this, it has certainly tad a reflex effect on the student. A finer spirit of sacrifice and service was fostered which bound us together as never before. Surely .just as tue gift without the. giver is Oare, ' ' the campaign was not so significant for the amount of money actually raised as far the fact that the spirit of Goshen College went with it. You will find poetry nowhere unless you bring some with yon.

Their chief aims may be classed as social, intellectual, and ex- pressional. By expressional is meant practice in public speaking and the it may seem the most prominent it succeeds only when preceded by the former two. The new member is given such a brotherly — or sisterly, as the case may be — reception upon his initiation into his chosen society that he soon feels himself on a common level with his fellows and as much at ease in their presence as in his home circle of friends. Thus by the second or third time he is called ujion to make his contribution to the program he can proceed with the same confidence and ease he would have in relating an interesting ex- perience to a group of acquaintances. He must next learn to choose his ideas and arrange them in logical order so that they are readily grasped by his hearers. Clear enunciation and maintenance of vocal tone come with frequent practice. After this has been accom- plished in private meetings it is but a step to effective expression in public speech. The students now maintain six literary societies, which means tliat each is small and STUDENT ' S LECTURE BOARD K. K. Rychener J. B. Cressuian, Trcas. Prof. ,1. M.

This also gives rise to a friendly rivalry quite evident duiinn the o])ening weeks of the year, but later submerged in the general spirit of cooperation in ()ronioting the interests of the whole college community. This spirit is best .«een in the nsaiutenanee of a course of public lectures and a .students ' library which at present is a very jironiincnt source of additions to the college library. The lecture course is in charge of a lecture l)oanl consisting of one iiu ' niber from each society and one member of the college faculty. A part of the regular fees of each society is given into the treasury of the lecture board and members of the societies receive their 1 Gosh 11 ege BeiiDOii tii ' kt ' tH ill ri ' iliii ' i ' il pr by thi stiuli-nls ami rcsiilciits t th. rlt ' I ' Ik this yriir wuh well |int r iiiizi-il .■iiiiHistnl .if I hi ' fi.lliiwiri ' iiiini Til..

The ability to express one ' s self effeetively is a faculty of inestiiiialile wiirfh wliidi is rarely acquired without ] ayin(j! the jirice of jiatient and earnest etTort. The Oratorical Association serves the twoiolil purpose of stiiniilatiii!; iiilercst and ex- ercisinj; sujiervision over the work done in public speakiiif; in (iosheii I ' olledc, an l of niaintainini, ' a wholesome school and class spirit by providin-; fo.r literary contests of intercollefiiate and intramural character. It accordingly assumes the responsibility of supervisinj; the interclass and intercolle;. ' iate debates and the local peace oratorical con- tost which is preliminary to the state contest. The ineiiilier-liip of ti.e association consists of those who participate in these events The work of the as.vociation durinf; the past year was seriously affected by the un- certainty of the times. The interclass debates, however, were carried thru as usual. The question chosen for the Kreshman-i oidiojuore debate was Kesolved — That in American education more attention should be paid to vocational traininfr. The Sophomores upheld the affirmative, while the Freshmen contendeil for the ne};ative. The .Funior-Senior dis- cussion was based upon the proposition Kesolved that the Hnited States should establish com]iulsory arbitration for all labor disputes between employer and emjiloyee. The question was affirmed by the Senior team, and denied by the .Iiinior team. In both events the .iud ' es were convinced Viy the ar-ruuients of the aflirmativc. The intereollefiiate debatinj. ' this year, however, was less successful. Immediately followin}; the interclass contests the faculty committee in oratory and debatin}; chose two teams to meet North Manchester and Mount Morris on the field of honor ' . The teams as arranjred were: aflirniative II. S. Bender, K. L. Hartzler, .1. N. Smucker, captain, with J. B. t ' ressman alternate; and nejiative R. R. Rychener, Payson Miller, D. K. I..ehnian, captain, with E. A. Meyer, alternate. .lust about the time work was begun, notice wa received from North Manchester announcing their decision to take up another line of work this year. It was accordiufrly arranjied by Mount Morris and Goshen that the allirm ative team of each institution shoiibl meet the nef;ative team of the other, discussinj; the question of comjiulsory arbitration for labor disinites. When preparations had merely begun a message from Mount Morris stated that they had concluded to drop the matter owing to uncertainties arising from the draft. Thus the record of eight victories in the ten contests in which Goshen teams ] articiiiated remains unchanged from last year. There was some thought of forming a new league with neighboring colleges lint it was deemed advisable to eJTect no definite organization as long as the present uncertainty continues. It was known for some time that the work of the Intercollegiate Peace Association would be suspended this year and an effort was made to jirovide some other opportunity for those interested in oratorical work, liut none of the plans materialized. We are glad to note tluit few phases of our college work suffered as iiiiuli frcni the stress of the times as did the work in public s|ieaking but we are confident that as soihi as circumstances permit, Goshen will again make herself known in this worthy field of stu- dent activity.

The glory of these olden times be gone forevermore, When with the other colleges we used to sweep the floor. I said, it surely looks that way, but you may be the judge, If what I say bears any weight, or if its purely fudge. Last Fall, while our home teams were digging up the hatchet (Expecting that the other schools would have a stunt to match it) Were burning midnight kilowatts and burning daylight too. In order that, when the time came, they ' d know just what to do — While all this preparation for the big three-cornered fight, A letter from North Manchester dropped in on us one night. It sort of took our breath away, it was so unexpected, And this is what the letter meant, as we at once detected: ' We think we won ' t debate this year, our feet are getting chilly. Besides, we beat you last year, so it ' s no less than silly. To tempt kind providence again with worldly lubrication, When we can stay at home and urge some civil agitation. ' O, well, there ' s still Mt. Morris left , said we, ourselves consoling, ' We ' ll simply exchange teams with them and keep the ball a-rolling . But through some agency, somehow, Mt. Morris must have heard, Ho.w Lehman, of the Senior team delivered the last word, And Payson, and the others too, in that forensic fray. Had copped the .Junior j enuant in an easy walk-away. At any rate we got a note explaining their condition. And saying, if we urged debate, ' twould be an imposition. Of course we realize , said they, that you at Goshen College Have little else to do except absorb some bits of knowledge. But we are very busy here, we ' ve got a lot to do.. Unless kind fortune intervenes, we scarcely will get through — Besides, the draft is hitting us, and so we must refrain From sending out our gallant boys — they might get beat again . Our Secretary scratched his head, and muttered ' neath his breath, ' What ails them, anyhow, they act as if they ' re scared to death . We tried some other colleges, but all to no avail. The notes they sent invariably retold the selfsame tale. Well, that ' s the simple story. Now I leave it up to you, We can ' t comi)el them to debate, so what are we to do? , — R. R.

It was organized for two pur- poses: (1) to develop the musical talent of the young women by acquainting them with the world ' s best music and by acquiring good ensemble work and good tone quai- ties; and (2) thus to promote general culture in the school for more efficient service. The motto ia M. U. M. The work done is of excellent quality, for the club is composed of fifteen of the best musicians among the young women, and a very capable director who spares no time nor pains to produce the best results. The nature of their work has put them in great demand at entertainments and programs of various kinds. These trips generally prove as interesting to the girls as to the audience; one especially to be remembered was taken during the sledding season to a country school entertainment, a trip of fourteen miles. The personnel of the club is as follows: First soprano, Esther Reed, Maud Byler, Helen Cartmell and Lena Stoltzfus; second soprano, Hannah Reed, Mary Ann Sprunger and Elizabeth Horseh; first alto, Margaret Anderson, Gladys Weldy, Anna Allgyer; sec- ond alto, Blossom Lantz, Wilma Smucker and Clara Uooley. The Misses Reed, Miss Weldy and Miss Lantz make up the quartet. The officers are: Director, Mrs. A. S. Ebersole; assistant, Miss Byler.

The Maple Leaf Nine.teen Eighteen THE TOUE At Sv.gar Creek, Ohio FOR the first time in the history of the Club a tour was arranged to take place during the Christirao holidays. The itinerary included eight concerts in a swing thru most of the Mennonite communities of Ohio. Despite some of the dilTieulties which devel- oped in the form of weather, canceled dates and missing men, the tour proved a decided success in every way except financially. However, we had been promised a home concert to make up the deficit, so what did we care? Following are some of the notes taken from a dairy of one of the members. Wednesday, Dec. 19 — Damp and foggy. The day for dejiarture has finally arrived. Wc hustle thru exams and by dint of close coonectiocs arrive at Elida safely at 4:30 p. m. Bender disappeared at Kendallville, but turned up at Elida with Miss Stoltzfus and Miss Horsch, saying he had forgotten to leave the train at Kendallville, the .iunction point. A fine crowd at the conceit at eight. A number of us here at Ciller ' s enjoying liberal helpings of cider and apples. , Thursday, Dec. 20 — Still warm and ground is soft. Arrived at West Liberty at 4:10 p. m. Rehearsed in the cold and dark opera house and then sang a few numbers at the Orphan ' s Home. Had a big crowd for the evening concert with lots of Goshen College people. John Warye ' s cheerful smile was especially in evidence. Club members taken care of in good old West Liberty style. Fridady, Dec. 21 — Cok ' .er but still cloudy. At 9:4.5 gave a short juogiam at the H. S. In the afternoon some of us visited Mt. Tabor cave. Shcrtz visited the doctor. At fi:30 we started for Kennard in autos. Seven of us in Floyd Tumble ' s car overtook another load with a broken front wheel. A little farther on one of our tires blew out and Prof. Holt- kamp decided to walk. Finally we reached Kennard, gave a short jirograin and left hastily to catch an interurban car for Urbana.

The Ford in which some of the Club heavy weights were riding, such as Slim Greenwat and Skinny Lantz, crashed into the rear of another Ford which had become stuck in a snow drift, denting the cabeza and putting out its lights. Another car was secured and we all reached the car tracks. Lantu wished to pay the new Ford driver a dollar and gave him a bill. Aw, this is too much , said the driver, handing it back. Lantz stared; it was a ten dollar bill It was quite cold, the moon shone brightly and the ' lub was hila-ious. Smucker succeeded in finding out how to stop a car by burning pajier, and we leached I ' rlai.a at 10:45 p. m. Wee smal ' hours Satunlay morning saw us boarding rci nsylvani:i train for Ciduuibns.

To most people tlie tliou ilit of athletics is inseparable from the thought of college and it is true that in many colleges great emphasis is placed on sports especially of the competitive type. Young men and women for that matter the world over engage in sports. Physical exercise is deiranded by the active and wide awake youtlj and most frequently this exercise is piovifled with, greatest satisfaction and enjoyment by indulging in ath- letics. While (ioslien College has placed more emphasis on the s]iiritual and intellectual de- elopment of the individual there has always been active interest in sane and wholesome atnletics, for it is realized that no student can be at his best unless he is also in the best physical trim. The decrease in the number of n en students due to the war has made itself felt in this year ' s athletic contests. The attempt to organize fall baseball proved unsuccessful. As football is tabooed tennis was left as the only fall sport. When the basket ball season opened the gym was in constant use by scrub teams and before long the class team began practicing for the inter class contest. Because of lack of material the com- petition was not very strong for the cup. Only four clases could produce teams, two in the college, the Freshmen and Sophomores and two in the - cadeniy, the Freshmen and Seniors. The first lap eliminated the Academy Freshmen and College Freshmen. After an exciting struggle the Academy Seniors won the cup in the final match. The winning team was composed of Gerber and Weber forwards, Miller center, and Beck and Buschert guards, with Hostetler and Kaser, subs. Considerable interest in Basketball was shown among the girls, especially the Freshman girls, who usually took advantage of the periods set aside for their use. Tennis as usual was the nuist universal and active s|i(irt ( the ye.ir. The five ex- cellent courts were in constant use in good weather, especially after dinner, since the ad- ditional hour of daylight secured by the daylight saving law provided more time for re- creation.

The time of meeting was changed to the second Wednesday of each calendar month, instead of the second Tuesday as lier tofore. As formerly, the main work of the Council was done tlirough the committees on student conduct, education and religion, and campus affairs. Kot so many large issues demanded consideration this year as sometimes arose in former years. Some of the principial problen.s dealt with jiertained to the management of the dining hall, the use and care of the magazines in the library, lectures on the proper forms in conventional society, the general atmo-s)diere of the clmpel hour, and more in- formation for file students- concerning the jiresent status of the institution.

B. — This remarkable oration was found in the reading room written by an un- known person who some day will no doubt, rank with Demosthenes and flartzelL Only the initials A. B. L. and V. W. could be found and no one with these initials was knowa to the staff. If the owner will present himself at the office of the Majde Leaf, the editor will be glad to give him hearty thanks for the use of his unusual production. — Ed.) ONE of the most fascinating sounds that cam[ius breezes bear to the ear of every student, whether of high or low degree, is the reverberation of the 6-ineh, under- the Kulp-porch-hung bell used to summon the hunger-benumbed individuals festooned ex- pectantly over the Morning Tribune in the reading room or decorating the steps of the front entrance to the A. building. This bell is calculated to ring at 7:00 a. m.; 11:50 a. m. and .5:35 p. m. It always clangs prematurely in the morning. This we can know because at various intervals after the omnivorous crackle of corn flakes has begun a large num- ber usually straggle into the dining hall still anxiously rearranging ties and pressing down half upright locks. Yet all would go well if only the bell were consistent in its clangor. But no, at noon, for luncheon, it must needs ring post-mortem. As everyone knows, the thrice dailj ' repasts are scientifically calculated to provide for the nutritional or at least spatial capaeitites of the gastronomical organism possessed by the farm- elevated (Keller says raised is poor English) students for exactly the period of time which comes to ]iass in the interval from 7:00 a. m. to 1]:.50 a. m. Yet the tinkle of the bell is seldom heard till 11:50 3-.5, or often even 11:31 or 11:57. (Numerous cases of col- lapse of emaciated students due to this procrastination have been reported to the dean from time to time but suppressed by the censorship and threat of expulsion. However, we dare to speak the truth here, since we are now graduated and beyond his deanship ' s clutches.) When the bell has rung and the madding throng is safely esconsced at their respective ticket-drawn seats, often a tumultuous groan of disappointment is ob- served to arise from every throat. For, what do we have placed before us for which we have unknowingly returned thanks? Potatoes! Mashed, to be sure, but still potatoes ir. name and in jackets. Even the very beans, their ever present consort, blush red with indignation until they (by May 1) could blush no more; some also get betangled in their own strings (curses on theml) But take courage, my dear school-mates — so long as there is syrup, there is hope of sticking together. Yea, this being true, there will forever and for aye be hope. Even tho the bean loaf fail us (haste the day), even the toothpicks fail us (and they did), yea even tho the hash should become still more cosmopolitan, thou, O, Unifier of all and pride of Hertzler ' s eye, thou will not fail us. Our Dear and Daily Syrup. The management has been able to placate to a slight degree the rising tide of rebel- lion by importing thru the kind offices of the Haw Patch employment bureau an at least temfKjrary pie ijaker whose eminent services serve to bridge the gap from one meatless day to the next. Meatless — yes and without the M if we restrict ourselves to facts. The dining hall must indeed be by far the most patriotic grub-furnishing establishment in all Uncle Sam ' s fair domain, for we Hooverize till our ize fails us in the search for morsels of solid material in the sea of sou7 . But cheer up classmates; we can ab- stract more A ' s from the faculty by eating less. Scientifically it cannot be otherwise for the energj ' once happily sjient in the masticative and digestive processes is now released for service in the front trenches in active campaigns against low grades. Not since the rise of the Dutch TJc]mblic under Motley has there been such a rise as the aristocracy under Kulp Hall. Magnificent, magnanimous, grandiloquent, oh, .so nobly have they served their day and passed on — to the next table. Hosts ami hostesses they were beyond compare, even ideal at times. We take oflf our united hats from our ■worthless heads to the prescience of the dining hall commandcrinchief who has so nobly 126 Goshen College extoml.

C. students were suffering from, slight mental disoi- ilei-s. The first symptoms were of- i-asiocal inexplicable acts anil hal- lucinations on the part of the suf- ferers. Later, the conditions of some became so grave that some of the students, who have the welfare of the school at heart, seriously con sidered a Home for the Feeble llinded, with a view of segregating the more dangerous cases for the mutual benefit of the patients and the school. Matters reacheil R cli- max early in the winter term, wlien a meeting was held and work defi- nitely .starteil. Officers were elected and plans for carrying on the work were dra-w ' n n]i. The ]M-o] osed builil- ing will he erected on the northeast corner of the campus .iust west of the Big Four track and across the street from Fast Hall. The follow ing rejiort will show definitely the work which is being done and the interest which is being manifested in this philanthropic cause.

The ' I• T- T - f THE UNKNOWN WAY Academy Class Poem, 1918 A iiiisty yold and purple tints the early dawn, The morn is rising beautiful and fair; A band of pilgrims, venturesome and brave, In anxiousness await the coming day. Thej ' know no fear nor face the world with dread, For they are armed with friendship that is true. Their youth and courage give them faith that ' s strong; Such hopes as others ne ' er have known — ■ Or dreamed of, spur them on. This pilgrim band so dauntless and so bold, The.y go not forth in quest of wealth or fame; Their hope is not for kingly crowns or pew ' r to rule. They have a deeper, grander, nobler aim. And as the day advances o ' er the hills. Their trusty guide now leads them forth. There as she points to paths unknown to them. She warns in all sincerity and love — Of places hidden from the light, and thorn strewn ways, Where faith is tried and trials dark will come; Yet knowing all she blesses them, and Sends them forth, committing them to God above. Before the.y part, each one to go his wa.y A-down the path he chooses to be best. They hesitate a moment on the hill To bid each other God-speed in their cpiest. Altho the world may never call them great, , And each shall go a-down an Inimble way. The path that each has chosen he will strive To make a little better than it was the former day. So though tills jdlgrini band be parted far On paths which love and duty only know, Their trusty guide ' s advice they will remember long. And serving others, ever onward go. The union that was theirs will make them one. The friendships true still help them to be brave, While courage never failing points ahead To where awaits the goal they would attain. Then as the gold and i ur|.le tint tlu west, The sun is lost to sight and day is done, The paths will reunite and once again, With heart to heart and hand to hand, we ' ll sec The pilgrim band united as of yore, Thanks to our Alma Mater wlm as guide. Now leads us out and points to us tlie way. We ' ll follow in the jiath you ' ve helped us choose.

For it is a fact that literally scores of students have been able to earn their right to a college education by hard work selling vacuum cleaners or stock books or brushes or medical books, or what-not during the summer vacation, . ltho summer canvassing is a strenuous occupation, yet those who engage in it feel amply repaid, not only in the crinkly bills with which they line their pockets but in the practical business (raining and character developnu ' nt which they re- ceive. The succesful salesman must have learned to have coufiilcnce in himself and his ability, to be able to judge men quickly and analyze situations keenly, to develop will power, in short to make for himself a coniiielling ])ersonality. To one who knows what canvassing is, it can be made of as much practical value as many a course in the regular curricula with the added merit of increasing tlic rutumlity of his pocket liook instead of bringing it nearer a state of collapse.

Keeping abreast with the times, we have devoted a lot of special atten- tion to the tractor business. Building slowly and surely — satisfied with nothing short of perfection, we have for the past several years sought to produce tractors (that would revdlut ionize present day tractor ' farming ' methods. And now, after years of experimenting, inspecting and testing, we have developed tractors that are master standards for all tractor comparisons. We have developed real kerosene burning tractors that are guaranteed to deliver their rated horse power on kerosene under actual farm conditions. This guarantee is written on the warranty. Our products admit no superiority. They are products with a perfec- tion of construction that will withstand the ravages of time and wear, even abuse. They are sold by an organization thoroughly attuned to the Inter- national standard.

GOSHEN, INDIANA The Maple Leaf i A POSTSCRIPT As the wise man once said, ' ' t)f the making of liooks tlieve is no end , and if sometime during the year you had asked some member of The Maple Leaf Staff he wonld probably have told you, with much emjihasis, that of the making of a Maple Leaf there is no end ' ' . But at last it is finished. As you hold it in your hand, tho its defects are many and its shortcomings evident, our only hope is that you may find at least a few pages to merit your praise, a few pictures to elicit your approval, or a few bits of humor to stir your laughter. Whatever of pleasure may have come to you in the turning of these pages is due largely to the loyal and constant support the staff have tendered the editor-in-chief; to the associate editors for their laborious work on many small parts; to the staff photographer whose constant efforts have enabled lis give you these many excellent pictures; to the business and sales managers whose application has made this book possible and to all the other members of the staff, the artists, the stenographer, the humorist, whose endeavors hav been loyal and efficient in their various tasks. It is with a sense of having given of our best and yet of not having given what the best ought to be, that on l)ehalf of the Junior and Senior classes of 1918 we place this Maple Leaf in your liands. May it bring back to you now and in after years, if only after a small and imperfect fashion, the Goshen College you knew in the year 1917-18. THE BO. RD OF EDITORS. We wish to thank all those who have contriluited in any way to the 1918 Maple Leaf. Appreciation is due to the many scribes who have contributed to the various articles, to the Faculty Committee for their helpful suggestions and especially to Mr. Leo Kenward for his excellent work on many designs and cartoons. — The Editor.
