TH IRTEEN l But the youngsters were not to be downed The very next week they convmced their progemtors that the best course open to them was to move West and thus make about eight or mne chapters in history On January 7 1836 it was announced by the public cryer that a company was being organized to go to these unknown parts, build a college, pacify the Indian teach him the Apostles Creed, and acquamt him with the finer points of social etiquette This pleased the young inhabitants mightily and the very next day the young financiers might be seen selling Saturday Evemng Posts in order to gather enough money for the Journey This paper was just then inaugurating the first popular lady contest known the hard earned money of the pioneers proved sufficient to Hoat the stock of the company Another week saw the town of Whites town begin its Westward Journey The New York Limited hne and the inter urban troll1es were not yet completed, so the band was compelled to take advantage of other means of transporta tion in order to reach their destination After a strenuous Journey Illinois was finally reached and a plot of land selected It was well situated, fairly well improved close to a school house and railroad and the water supply was unlimited This land was the territory immediately surrounding Cedar River As soon as the contents of the wagons were safely deposited in sheltered places the erection of a church was begun The sec- ond building to be constructed was a cabin in which a land oiiice business could be carried on The next item of business, accord- ing to the schedule was the founding of an institution to tram up the boy in the way he should go This was done and the institution was called the Knox Manual Labor College For several decades the name was very appropriate, but by 1867 the college had begun to assume something of its present nature so the name was changed to Knox College During the first few years the institution was supported en- tirely by the loyal pioneers Andrew Carnegie and George Law- rence had not yet entered into the field of finance. When the expenses became too heavy to be borne by the founders alone, a tuition was demanded of the students. This fee proved insufficient to even up the debit and credit sides on the assistant treasurer's books so an incidental fee was added. By means of this system of finance the college has been kept in running order for over seventy years. The gentle reader is re- ferred to the College Catalogue for other items of interest about Knox.

THE NEW ERA HE founders of Knox, like those of Harvard and Yale, were most deeply concerned with the business of furnishing a devoted and efficient ministry To the same end they planned an institution to provide for the thorough and well directed education of females not as preachers of the Gospel but as help meets for those who are and as instructors and guides of the rising generations In the college charter granted in 1837 this ambition was broadened into that of qualifying young men in the best manner for the various professional and business occu patrons of society When we consider that this purpose was to be attained by means of a faculty of less than half a dozen and by means of a classlcal curriculum this seems to day a rather pretentious ambition Training for the professions in pioneer days however did not make the same demands upon an institu tion as at present and it is not at all unlikely that the college authorities of those days may have felt that the purposes and pro visions of the charter were realized Between the ideals of the early college and those of the pres ent the contrast is striking The narrow and elementary curricu lum of pioneer days has broadened mto that of the liberal arts and sciences of the modern college with the cultured ideal as its chief end While the college no longer attempts professional training no narrowing of the curriculum has accompanied the change which has been so profound that almost the only evi- dence of continued identity as an institution is found in the per- sistence of the religious and ethical motive guiding its instruction The college still cherxshes the earnest moral and Christian spirit of the founders as the most sacred heritage of the institution and its most vital educational force ' With the broadening of its work however there has been no corresponding increase of its productive endowment. As a re- sult durmg the past two decades the trustees have been obliged to face annual deficits part of which have accumulated as a fioat mg debt The uncertain future of the American college as a part of our educational system together with the increase in this float- mg debt has made it diliicult to secure additional endowment The growth of the universities lavishly endowed by state and private funds and elaborately equipped has threatened the exist- ence of the small college with its meagre equipment and endow- ment Yet the final outcome of the discussion of the last two decades has been the re-establishment of the small college. Space forbids statement of the factors which have brought this about. The important fact is that the opening years of the Twentieth Century and of the administration of President McClelland have seen the beginning of a new era for American colleges in general and for Knox College in particular. The General Education Board and Mr. Carnegie have expressed a desire to place the THE NAUGI-IT-NINE GALE . . H - .. . .. ,, ' J . . . H . . l x a ' . . -. , H , . . ' 3 .. .

SEVENTEEN. college upon a financial foundation adequate for its needs and commensurate Wlth its importance as an institution of national reputation The coming year is to determine whether the college is to continue its work seriously crippled by lack of funds or is to enter a period of increased efiiciency and miiuence The great probability that President McClelland will be suc cessful in the attempt to meet the conditions of the gifts of Mr Carnegie and of the General Education Board gives confidence to all the friends of Knox that the institution IS about to enter upon a period of renewed prosperity Indeed the new era may be said to have already begun with the completion of the splen didly equipped new gymnasium For the first time in its history the college is now able to give its students a thorough course of proper hygienic conditions Since the establishment and equip ment of the scientific departments a decade ago the new gym nasium is the most tangible evidence of progress toward the realization of the educational ideal for which the trustees and faculty have been striving The past limitations of the college resulting from lack of en dowment have been most evident m the social and aesthetic phases of college life However successfully Knox may have in tensified the religious life of the undergraduate and trained men for the leadership needed in our Repubhc the college has failed to provide a substitute for the home life of the young men who resort to it for an education If the increased endowment brings as is hoped a new dormitory for men the college will not only be able to mold their lives and characters more effectively but also to hold them in greater numbers through the col'lege course and to send them out more loyal to the institution It is generally conceded that of all the miiuences surrounding college students, none is of greater importance than the mutual influence of stu- dents upon one another in the democratic life of the college dormitory With such equipment Knox life will have a charm which has been sadly lacking The new era will bring other new buildings of beautiful and harmonious architecture While Knox has in all her history em- phasized the vital importance of the man behind' the desk ' there is no question that beautiful and stately buildings are im- portant agencies in elevating student ideals of increasing college efficiency, and of intensifying undergraduate and graduate loy- alty The new science building will greatly increase the effective- ness of the work of the science departments and enable the col- lege to meet the competition of the universities in laboratory courses. The lecture rooms of this building, adequately equipped with projection apparatus, will help to keep the college in closer touch with the city of Galesburg and the surrounding com- munities. The new era, therefore, will mean a greater Knox, true to the high ideals of the past, but vastly more efficient in realizing them.

ITI-I the present year Knox Conservatory closes the first quarter century of its noisy career. It closes only to flpen again in September with better lung capacity than ever, and If will be able to blow its own horn for at least another twenty- five years. If it has not breath enough, the GALE will blow a while. The Director, Mr. Bentley, is planning great things for the future and certainly the Conservatory will have to go some if It surpasses the 'high standards and attainments of the past. A Humber of changes in the faculty will bring new life and new thought into the school's activities, and with the reputation of the new instructors who have been engaged, little fear is felt re- garding the outcome. It is with regret that some of the old stand-by teachers who have helped 'largely in bringing Knox to Its high standard are permitted to withraw from their work. ?'IOwever, the outlook for next year is bright. The old saying. 'There's just as good fish in the sea as have ever been caught, will surely prove good in this case. The fisherman filling the Knox creel reports more bites than can be attended to. The l3Obber has been pulled under and practically the entire force has been landed on the Knox bank. We trust that these teachers will be able to play their scales with the proper finish and that there will be no scales on their performance. The intimate relationship of college and conservatory is being more closely knitted each year, and there is a fond dream that the college will at no far distant time provide a new home for the conservatory, where the noise, musical and otherwise, of the two Or three hundred students coming and going, talking and singing, pounding and scrapping, may not interfere with the tranquil life Of the Whiting Hall scientists, philosophers and poets, THIRTY-TH REE NAUGHT- NINE GAL JIIIIN W 'lIIoM1'soN Mus B 471 Monmouth Boulevard TEACIILR UI 11111: o1zcAN rIII-:ony MUSICAL HISTORY AND EAR TRAINING Gl1dl1'!fEd fIoIn Ohuhn Consclvxtory 14300 Hl'Ifll1'lfCd from Roywl Lonservatmy of VIIISIC Icnpng 19104 1 , e'1chcr III Knox Con scIv1torv of Nlnmc 1800 USAN S Ccclar St IIIACIIIIR 01 VIOLIN AND HARMONY Student III Ohelllh ConscIv'lt0ry 1886 '89 Icncher In Knox Conscnvutorv 1880 92 p p11 nf Hel Moser llerlm GeIIIInny 1892 04 Ieachex Ill Iow'1 Conselvwtory of Musxc, 1894 95 Pupxl of NI'H'C0iS0l1 ftwo sewsons at Cl1'Iutauqu'I N YJ lexchex III Knox Con uvmtoxy nf XIUGIC 1801 K CI.IsIIFF 41 P IIIRIFTT XIV WEl!Sllli 160 VV South lhAClIl'R OF IIANO IORTI GI1flll1lCCl f10ll1 lxnwc LUIISLIVFIIOIY nl' Hume 19191 etuucnt wnth lhunn Zw ntechcu Cll'l7lg CIc11II'my 1803 74, Dlllill of WII II.

Treasurer COLORS Yellow and Wllite MOTTO Always inspired by Knox ideals YELL Hurrah for ns! Be up to date! We are the class! Of nineteen eight! T is a long journey through a college course and many are the trials in its progress. At times the obstacles seemed unsurmount- able, but one at a time they have been overcome. The Senior year is a favorite mile-stone in a student's career. It is the dream of early youth, the anticipation of high school days and the re- sult of consistent work during one's college course. It is that goal towards which the efforts of numbers are turned but which is realized by few. It is the culmination of plans well executed, of courses well chosen and of ideals wisely viewed. And yet it is merely the beginning of the end. Commencement Day comes to us at first thought with a sigh of relief. It is reached by means of eventful and significant steps in college life. In the drama of a student's career, it is the concluding pageantry of a single act,-the lowering of the curtain upon the activities and opportunities of an institution, turning the eyes towards other scenes. The enlargement of intellectual life, the perfecting of char- acter, and the outlook on the ideals which characterize Knox Col- THIRTY-EIGHT lege is the priceless herrtage that the class of 1908 carries with it into its new life The Senior class is reaching the conclusron of 1ts personal as sociatxon with Knox folk and Knox life The acts the achieve ments and successes which it has accomplished has been its re ward It has much to feel proucl of and little to regret In fore bodmg the future on the basis of the merit and work of the past and the 1nsp1r1ng outlook of the present the 08 class has every The class history covers four years of interesting' and happy assocratxons During our Freshman year we learned that all knowledge was not ours and with the aid of the Sophomore class quickly reached the conclusion that 1f we were to gain it xt must be through hard knocks As Sophomores we began to take an interest rn college affairs This interest was broadened dur ing our career as juniors Here for the first time, we began to look back and down on the under classmen And now as Sen 1ors, we review our college course wlth a great deal of pr1de and pleasure We will ever cherish the friendships formed here, and the associations with both fellow students and members of the faculty T ' All in all the voices of the Seniors sound and resound in the following strain. 4 Still achieving still pursuing Learn to labor and to wait THE NAUGI-IT-NINE GALE THIRTY-NIN E NEXT YEAR MABEL ANDERSON Why of course I know what I am going to do next year I think well settle down in Missouri somewhere Probably near Booneville BUNNY BARR Well by Gosh CPJ that's a worrym me quite a bit At present it looks like Ill be back here trying to get a diploma EIHEL Bonurr Me?

B - sides this characteristic of savagery other interesting traits are discovered in seeking out the etymology of the work. Webster indicates that the term Sophomore is formed from two words. The stem, Sopho, ' coming from a word meaning student, while the latter part comes from an adjective meaning foolish. The foolish part of the word is gradually being dropped, thus leaving Soph as the name under which the studious underclassmen shall labor. THE NAUGHTA-NINEIGALE I . l .

We must fight, my children for the Sophs are a mighty host and will in wickedness plot against us. And we must meet them after their own manner, after the fashion of Johnny on the Spot.

READ. HERE is little said about it in the histories. Like most modern wars, it was of short duration, but fierce while It lasted. The time must have been about 73, just before Com- mencement. It was Saturday, and the loyal sons of Adelphi and Gnothautii had spent the day in laying in a supply of evergreens in their respective halls, ready for the annual ufixin' up, with their best girls on the following Monday. At that time the Gno- thautii was on the second floor of East Bricks, and the Adelphi occupied the corresponding part of the west building. That night there was blood on the moon. In fact all nature was sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought as tho dreading what was to come. Bright and early on that eventful Monday the doors were opened, and the boys gathered at both halls for work. Merciful heavensl The evergreens were gone from the Gnothautii hall! Equally strange and mysterious, the pile in Adelphi hall had doubled in size. I hope to be pardoned for mentioning these two facts together. I make no deductions, draw no conclusions there- from. Far, very far from it. I merely state the facts. . Another curious thing. There was a plainly defined, unmis- takable, unmitigated trail of evergreens from the door of the Gnothautii to that of the Adelphi. A band of determined Gno- thauts quickly followed this trail to its terminus. The two bands, Gnothautii and Adelphi, were soon glaring at each other. Prob- ably not since the days when the god-like Hector, and pious Aeneas stood face to face with the great Achilles, and- the mighty Ajax on the flowery banks of the flowing Scamander has so stir- ring a scene been witnessed. You 'are personae non grataej' shouted Ben Sargant, a Gnothaut who had studied International Law. You're another, replied Dick johnson, who was only a freshman. Matters were rapidly drifting into a critical state. At this juncture Bergen and Lawrence, who for some reason seemed to know more about the affair than any one else, mme forward, and with great judicial calmness tried to reason with the bellig- erent and fiery enemy. Lawrence said that the evidence at best was only circumstantial, that probably some miscreant had done the deed to damage the fair name of the Adelphi g that some ir- responsible sleep-walker might have, etc., etc. In the midst of George's eloquence Professor Hurd appeared on the scene, in the capacity of Arbitrator, Minister Plenipotentiary and Envoy Ex- traordinary. Producing a writ of habeas corpus he spoke thus in few words, Carry those evergreens out into the yard. It was done. Now burn them, and it was so. The casus billi being removed the war could not go on, and a SEVENTY-FOUR modus zwendz was quickly arranged The boys put on their coats White winged Peace calmed her ruffled plumage and settled down once more to a quiet life The Evergreen War was only a thrilling memory A Practical Masquerade Vrcroa E Bauman RECALL the incident of a class mate of mme becoming ill For several days he applied home remedies, but without re sult and fearing he might have a real spell of sickness he con cluded with great reluctance to incur the expense of consulting a physician Now physicians fees were not contemplated in the expenses and he realized that every cent paid out for that purpose would create a deficit in his allowance that could not be readily made up Hence to have concluded to consult a doctor was an event of importance While his wearing apparel was never of the sort to indicate Opulence, he felt that with a little care and trouble he could create the character of a poverty stricken student and throw himself upon the mercy of a physician in the name of charity So he donned a pair of trousers used in lns base ball practice of the year before availed himself of a shirt that had seen better days and with shoes and hat that would have put a tramp to shame, 'he started out on his mission of getting the larg est possible amount of medical advice at the least expense. H presented himself at the office of the physician gave him informa- tion as to his ailment dwelt upon his poverty and craftily nego- tiated for medicine and advice Apparently he looked the part and played it effectively Anyway he was charged a mere pit- tance for the service and the doctor was good enough to furnish him with a mixture of medicine from his own cabinet The stu- dent returned to his room tesnmed his former character took the medicine for several days religiously eventually recovered and lived healthily ever after, One on F itch FRANK BROWN ERHAPS the incident I relate will be of interest to but very few. There were two, only two, active participants, or may be I had better say but one active and the other a passive participant. One was a busy housewife, party number two was a thin, spare and to all appearances hungry collegian who at last report was living in Peoria, still lean as the seven other kine, the meaning of which Joseph made clear. To the credit of Joseph, however, let it be 'said that he did not see things througha mega- phone. To get straight in matter of chronology, let me say that the episode which follows took place in the day when Albert Britt was breakfasting on shredded newspapers and Carter's writing T H E T N A U G H T - N I N E G A L E annual appropriation-made by this particular student for college U - Q SEVIITY-FIVE fluid, a day too when all would be canners of political plums paid vows at the shrine of Pat Cardiff But for such experi ences, such devotion to an ideal on the part of these embryonic luminaries Joumahst and statesman Stick Slattery could never have written almost a decade later those fine wmded words Action and re action are the record of history Now I do not vouch for the authenticity of this story I re late it only as Frank Holmes told it one day at dinner before the Cardiff Club and Frank, some will recall had a sense of humor which could by a little effort do violence to facts, especially to tame facts George Fitch had stayed up late the night before George was not then writing for the Ladies Home Journal but he was doing a sight of dreaming and these dreams sometimes played smash with his sleep that IS they caused his sleep time and work time to overlap This is what happened on the morning of the day I write George slept while Holmes was at breakfast Now the landlady would often make the bed and do the room at the breakfast hour Imagine the astonishment of Holmes when re turning to his room he found all in order the bed made and but what about George do you ask? Upon close investigation, there he lay still asleep He had not been noticed A Street Fair Incident WARNER LAT1-A Caoucu I RECALL an episode which happened to my definite knowledge when I was at Knox I always was noted for being an earn- est student ancl few evenings found me away from my books. But on the evening in question the temptation was too great and after considerable argument with myself decided to help the boys out on a little prank Prof G L Leslie and his band of artists consisting of Ned, the colored comedian' Mamie the fire dancer and Bob a clever monkey xx ere giving performances on the street during one of Galesburgs celebrated Street Fairs. The Pro- fessors part in the program was to sell some patent medicine, guaranteed to cure all known ailments. We at once pronounced the individual a grafter. After the eveningfs performance the Professor retired into a nearby hotel amid a shower of vegetables and other 'handy objects, and the college folk proceeded to carry off the stage and paraphernalia without which his performance could not be given. The entire stage and trimmings, including the monkey, were carried to the campus. But our evening's work was interrupted by the police, who compelled us to carrv the unwieldly things back to their original place of abode. Upon pleading good behavior we were released, but about an hour later quietly returned and carried the stage and its trim- mings north to Cedar Fork. A loud report resounded as the Pro- fessor's stage struck the water in Cedar Fork and we at once scattered in different directions.

Four of the nine competing institutions have been represented on the final contest three times. Wisconsin, Michigan, Chicago, and Knox. Of these, Wisconsin heads the list with three consecutive victories. Michigan has one first and two seconds to her credit, and Knox follows with one first and one second. Of the Knox orators who have competed in the final contest, in 1904 Willard Lampe won second placeg in 1905 Ralph Chase won first, and in 1908 John Lowrie fourth.

Shortly before the fourth debate a permanent ruling was made allowing each debater a turn in rebuttal Up to 1904 the negative closed the debate, but in that year a change was made giving the last rebuttal to the first aliirmatlve These annual contests not only make debating more popular and valuable but also unite the two colleges with a common m- terest Knox Whipple Academy Debate An annual debate between Knox Academy .and Whipple Academy was inaugurated in 1905, largely through the efforts of Principal Mforrow. The first and fourth debates were won by Knox, while the second and third were won by Whipple.

Ted Felt A HUNDRED TWENTY-FOUR THE NAUGHT-NIN'E GAL CONGERATIONAL MEETING ILL the congeration please come to order. Now just n moment, please. Pillsbury, if you and Coad would only give the class the benefit of your conversation. I am sure we would profit by it. Now let me see where we were at when we stopped y:sterday. Exactly. But I don't believe you feel just what I am doing. Remember that we are now talking about the tar heels of North Carolina and their influence on the First National Hank. No. Mclelard, I can't agree with you there. There are loop holes so large in your argument that we could throw nail kegs through 'em, as a little boy would say. Now, take for example the case of Smith and jones. Smith was a typical tar heel from the mount- ains of North Carolina. Now, in North Carolina the people are so thin that they don't make a shadow and they're so weak that they have to 'lean up against a telephone post to cough. On the other hand jones was a wealthy banker rich enough to buy North Carolina out at a Sheriffs sale and so mean that the people shunned him like they would the evil one. I-Ie was considered wealthy then, but now-a-days one of our millionaires makes a fortune like his before breakfast. Oh, yes, that reminds me--you may not like my way of rea- soning but I pride myself on my logical outline. Now this is a map of North Carolina. Notice the black spots-they are the places where the tar heels live. NVell-now Ohler-I should say yes and no. That's a good deal like trying to lift yourself over the fence by your boot straps. Now let me make a few side re- marks at this point. The worst thing a young man can do is to be caught cheating. After he has been caught cheating he is a down and outer, as a small boy would say. Now let's see where we are at. That reminds me of this morning when I was talking to the cashier down at the bank. A bank always does different than-- VVell, Mr. Nelson, Yes and No. I am not exactly certain regarding that point. Whyte seems to be a little undecided. just state your position again. Well, what is the answer to that, Mr. Woolsey? Exactly, Mr. VVoolsey, but I think Miss Hunter and Miss Boruff have it a little clearer. lrVell, there goes the bell. VVhere has this hour gone? I am not satisfied with your work on this chapter. If I am going too fast just let me know, Take eighty pages for to-morrow. Mr. jay, I'd like to see you a minute after class. Excusecl..

White A nuunann rwmurv-srcar ' HISTORY OF WHITING HALL HITING HALL furnishes an mterestlng history It grew out of what was first called Knox Female Semin ary which consisted of only the middle portion of the Hall built 1n 1857 It was here where the Knox girls made their home and received instruction in class rooms of their own The present reading room was then not in use and the office of to-day was then the library The other two parlors remamed closed or were used as recitation rooms Room No 46 now the May Barr Room was the history recitation room When the young women and men were admitted into college on the same footing both sexes began to recite in the same class rooms in Old Mam The Seminary now became solely a home for the girls Miss Ada H Hayes was the first Dean of Women in the Seminary did to build up the Hall cannot be told in these few pages In 1879 Mrs Whiting became Dean She had expected to teach in addition to performing her other duties but she found so much to do in the Hall that her classes were given up The Lawrence Parlor now one of the girls favorite haunts a room furnished by Mrs Geo A Lawrence was opened by Mrs Whit mg as was also the reception room and office all made cheerful by her presence The rest of the building to the east of the of fice was in those days one large room known as the chapel and it was here that L M' I had its first meetings In this room Mrs Whiting gathered her girls every Saturday morning and talked to them In 1885 the east wing was erected most of it being given over to the conservatory Mrs. Whiting raised all the money for this and saw the addition completed It was this part of the building which first bore her name The west wing was built in 1892 One vear after its completion Mrs Whiting dled and then it was that the whole building became known as Whiting Hall When Mrs Whiting came to the Hall she found only seven girls and the greatest number there during her life time was one hundred and ten twenty less than the Hall now accommodates During Miss Wallace s administration the present ofiice was fur- nished by former members of the Hall and called the Whiting Room, in memory of their beloved Dean Space does not allow for a review of the work of the follow- ing Deans. Two, however, must be mentioned: Miss Katherine Courtright, now Mrs. Simonds, and Miss Janet Grieg, ,now Mrs. Post. Then, in 1903, came our beloved Miss Stayt. To those who know her she has been an inspiration, smoothing over the many little troubles which come into the lives of the girls. What would Knox be without its Whiting Hall! That glor- ious old place which does, perhaps, more than any other thing in moulding the character of Knox girls. THE NAUGHT-NINE GALE building and what she and the six of her immediate successors A HUNDRED TWENTY-NINE WHITING HALL AN EVENING FROM WITHOUT N a clear moonlight evening two people wandered to the court house and finding the great doors locked they de cxded to sit on the north stone steps and wait Why they chose the north steps is evident to all who pass that way at night Those great walls of Whiting Hall tell many a secret and the two figures at the court house began a careful investigation I wonder what room that is with only one light burning? said one Oh that is the reception room the Dean prefers one light but some others who are more economical prefer even less Presently a thrilling whistle came from among the bushes in the park Up flew a window on the southwest corner of the Hall first floor a head popped out and an answer equally as thrilling was sent back then down the window came and we thought the episode ended But no' The great middle door swung open and the same sweet voice was heard get my philosophy I mean my harmony no I mean well I m going to study with the girls Yes I ll be home in a few seconds The door closed a light figure tripped down the steps and ran to the corner where another walked out from behind a tree Oh Bob' I arn so out of breath-I had such an awful time getting away--you know I told her I was going to the library and-ohl arent they fine V-I adore chocolates and the two moved up Tompkins street We concluded that they were freshies and hadnt yet learned that the library was always on Broad street. Later another couple came through the park and passed by the steps where we sat She was saying Ill say that Adelphi had an open meeting and we L. M I girls went No tell her you had class play practice Yes but our play is over I couldn t do that. Well tell her you went to the library But it s half past nine and the library closes at nine so Ill say they kept it open for me so I could do some reference work Good night . ' And the big door closed belund her The clock above was striking ten and the bell in Whiting was giving its last warning The lights went out-all except one on fourth floor and that was dim like unto the light of a candle There was a knock on the door and the light went out. Then a voice from without Girls' are you in bed 7 ' Yes, said several voices under the bed, behind the screen and in the closet. Then all was quiet. Whiting Hall was sleeping.

A Freshie in room No. 3 awoke suddenly and yelled Fire! Fire l When her Junior room-mate came to, she gently informed her that it was only Dave ringing the bell to awaken the fair inmates. In less than ten minutes the hall was astir, here and there a head peeping out to call, Ida, has the first bell rung? Oh, dear, F11 never get down to breakfast. Oh, there's that last bell! Come on. Goodness! I haven't washed my face. Never mind lacing your shoes. Then, What are we go- ing to have for dessert this noon? I bet we have peaches. No, I say pears. I say bread pudding. No. Rice pudding. It's time we were having oranges or Ralston pudding. Fern just loves it. You're all wrong. It's chocolate pie. Ummh l Breakfast is hurried through with and a grand rush is made for the mail boxes where the eagerness of the forgetful cause 'them to break the rule and crowd the distributor away until they get their letter. Here comes Katherine with a piece of toast and banana under cover, taking it to the unfortunate Helen, who insisted on curling her hair before breakfast. Excited groups are standing in the halls. How many of those problems did-you get? You know I worked all last even- ing on them and Ilknow I'll flunk. Oh, Edith! who's going to take you to the party Friday night? Oh, here's the new Ladies' Home Journal. I've just got to see what it says about 'Pretty girl questions? Here's some novel bridal showers. Course I don't think I'll need one very soon for myself, but if that Bert and Nita case keeps up-But we've just got to get this Latin- v-'i-c-i wicky, that must mean gymnastics. Oh, say, did you hear that good one on Eda? She was jumping over a bug in the gym and had a time finding its wings when Miss Wickwire informed her that it was a buck and not a bug. Oh, there goes the bell-dorft forget your pencil, it rolled under the table. I haven't got my Latin. Did you see John and-i. The group rushes to class.

I A HUNDRED FORTY-EIGHT THE NAUGHT-NINE GAL THE CGACH OACH TOWNE had several very dihicult problems to face when he started upon his first year as the Athletic Director of Knox. The work of tending to the details in finishing and equipping the new gymnasium fell to his lot and added many hours of work to his already crowded schedule. The rebuilding of the quarter mile dead level track and the two hundred and twenty yard straight-a-way added other duties to his list, so that the Coach has done a great deal of work not regularly re- quired of an athletic director. The completion of the new gymnasium made instruction in gymnasium work possible and as a result regular classes were conducted during the winter months. The task of getting into shape a foot ball team was perhaps the most difficult which confronted Mr. Towne. The Rugby game had not been played the previous year so that the lack of experienced players was very noticeable, but after hard, con- scientious work a team was developed from the material at hand and its record is very creditable. Basket ball, base ball and track were given their due time and the Coach proved himself an adept along the line of training athletes for these different teams. Mr. Towne graduated from Bates College, Maine, in 1903. He had been on the base ball, foot ball and track teams of his college four years so that his experience there was of inestimable value in training him for his chosen work. In foot ball he played his favorite position, left half back, four years in college and three years in preparatory school at Briston Academy, Maine. In base ball his record is three years at Briston, four years at Bates and two years in the New England League. Mr. Towne began his work as coach at Oxford College in Chicago, where he remained two years before going to Culver Military Academy. After coaching the Culver teams for two years, he came to Knox and is now finishing his first year. The Coach is deserving of great credit for his work. Every day sees him at eight-thirty on Willard Field, ready to be of assistance to any of the athletes. His rules are strict and his orders sharp, but they are given in the proper spirit and are obeyed without complaint or hesitancy. He is a strong believer in hard, fast work and his favorite order to the candidates on the field is no loafingf' Manliness, accord- ing to the Coach, should be cultivated on the athletic field as well as on the campus, and his actions are ever those of one who is trying to develop gentlemen as well as athletes.

The Coach, however, has managed to select men of 1 ll l I i I E .mg ji HE base ball team this year was affected in many 1f ways like the foot ball team. We H have lost five players who were , the equals of any five men on any college or university team in the West. Notwithstanding this hardship, Coach Towne, by the dint of hard labor, has got- 5 ten together a team that bids fair to maintain the high class article of ball for which Knox in the past has been noted. Thus far in the season the team has, by clever, consistent playing. J managed to win a majority of the games. Burlington leaguers took two games before the po- , sitions of the team were decided A upon. However, the team work ' soon began to be apparent and 'L the Chicago White Sox were 1 held down to the score of 3 to 0, . which reflects great credit upon Following this, the team won , St. Louis, and took two out of three from Missouri University. In the Illinois Wesleyan game, '4 i ability to till his place and we have easily taken two games from our old rival, Momnouth. With such a promising start, the team will surely have a successful season. We are fortunate this year in having a staff of pitchers of remarkable ability. In Mettler and Grant we have two ex- perienced men, whose work compares favorably with any col- lege twirlers in this part of the country. Duncan also shows up well in this department and, as this is his first year, much may be expected of him in the future. Aldrich showed up in splendid form behind the bat before his injury and Prince and Lillie have acceptably filled the position thus made vacant. Aldrich, Essick and Richardson, with Mettler and Grant alternating at short and in the box, have composed an infield of exceptional ability. Captain Ellis in the outfield is the standby of the Knox team, both at the bat and in the field, where he is ably assisted in tak- ing care of anything that comes into the outfield by West, Dun- can and McClure.

The game was discontinued seven Q years ago owing to the lack of a suitable place in which to prac- tice, but the building of two large courts in the new gymnasium made it possible to reinstate the game and it is now proving a I very popular sport, with the undergraduates. The team has been very successful the past season, winning five out of ten games. All the players are members of the two lower classes and will be in school at least two more years. A very successful team is predicted for next year. i win.-vv.--.:ryn,:f 1 nf' . A 'f-- W 'r H J: W , '.

A HUNDRD SIXTY-NINE THE ICE CREAM ROBBERY or THE GANG B RISKIEST HAUL WAS on a cold and blustry night in March when the gang got together for a special meeting It was reported that a large consignment of ice cream was to be delivered to the preps on that evening and Stealthy Steve and Blackhand Bill were or dered to investigate Donning their black masks and arming themselves to the teeth they set out upon their dangerous mis sion Stealthily sneaking along under the shadow of Old Mam just as the moon was sending her ghastly beams over the grand stand on Willard Field they came to the college gym moment they would be discovered Just then the electric lamps gave a spasmodic fiicker and went out and strange to say the moon went under a cloud The forms passed by not three feet from where our heroes lay hidden Our gallant heroes started cautiously again and after breaking into the gym found the booty but it was too heavy to be moved something must be done and done quickly Stealthy Steve started back to inform the gang while Blackhand Bill lay concealed to await further develop ments The whole gangkarmed to the eyebrows came back well pre- pared for their dangerous task A conference was held and it was resolved to divide the party-one division going in and the other keeping watch on the outside Carefully working their way through the intricacies of the gym party number one at last ar- rived at the place where the cream was concealed But hark-a noise The guards of the preps approached In another mo ment the robbery would be discovered and the loyal band would die with the booty Another moment wastolled' oif and nearer and nearer came the guards Seconds seemed like hours and each expected every minute to be his next When suddenly the strains of the Merry Widow waltz came Boating through the air and the guards went back to claim their partners The gang quickly withdrew with their treasure and in a few moments the ice cream was no more. Soon after, the executive committee of the preps, consisting of Herb, Joy, Tempy, Catt, and Terp, came again to investigate and found to their horror tht THE ICE CREAM' WAS GONE! A posse was organized at once with W. N. Spake at the head. The surrounding country was searched, but up to the time of go- ing to press the guilty parties have not been found. Several clews have been unearthed, and the posse is still working. The great Prep 'Ice Cream Robbery has gone down in history as one of the most daring and successful ever carried out by the gang.
