In spite of all the above, a goodly percentage of those who started the four years 1 journey along the “Royal Road to Knowledge” with the Class of ’24 have stayed with the ship, and with the true Miner spirit have done their best to forward the interests of the school, and to make our class one long to he remembered in the annals of the school. The St, Pat ' s celebration put on by ? 24 in the spring of 1923 was of such excep- tional class that it may fairly well be said that it marks the ultimate, for nothing was left undone to make the event one from which to date future time at M.S.M. As students, the class as a whole has not been exceptional, but in athletics and in all campus activities we have done our full share and maybe a wee bit more, and we have never been backward in offering our services when they were needed. There is not a one of us but that feels a bit regretful at leaving our Alma Mater this spring, because for four years she has been so close to us that she seems almost to be a part of us. Wherever we allow ourselves to wander in pursuit of the elusive “career”, and whatever we finally do accomplish, we shall never cease profiting from our training received here; and we shall never forget nor regret the acquaintances and associations formed here. As a class, we pledge ourselves to ever be on the lookout for opportunities to raise the prestige of, and enhance the already good name of the Missouri School of Mines. Officers Curtis E.

Tiventy-e.ght C c C LI 3 UNIORS Bollamo 7 Tern v-;mu ' 1924 Junior Class 1925 ANOTHER year has passed, and still the Class of 25 promises fair to complete X its record at M.S.M, with the same ideals with which it entered, namely, to be one of the best classes that should ever be enrolled. Realizing that this year was to he the one of all four in which M.S.M, would turn a watchful eye towards her noble Juniors, plans were started early for a St. Pat ' s “the biggest and best ever”; and undoubtedly this dream became a reality, for far and wide in every nation and globe you may hear and read of the 1924 St. Pat s — even the old Saint himself remained “non compos mentis” throughout the entire celebration in his honor. In addition, the Class of 1925 has contributed its share towards all other fields of activity. Football, basketball, track, and wrestling have claimed many members — die 1924 gridiron warriors will be captained by a 25 man. Other activities, such as journalism, dramatics, and honor societies may also claim equal mention. Last, but not least, the scholastic record of ' 25 as a whole is above the average in spite of the many obstacles encountered in the Junior year. For instance. Doc Dake and his phenocrysts have openly admitted that “faults” are not as numerous this year as formerly, and that the “regional dip” b also less, although well defined “strikes” are still by no means common. T he monstrous E.E. Department as in days of old met considerable impedance” and “reluctance” this year, and is still eagerly searching foi a minimum power factor , but the “hysteresis as a whole could have been much worse. And so it goes, and with the realization of only one more year to he spent at good old M.S.M, — the terminati ng year at the close of which “the best of pals must part”— when that time comes may we feel that our efforts have not been entirely in vain if we have succeeded in some small way to uphold or contribute to the ideals and traditions of the Silver and Gold.

Thirty- two oil am o Thirty- three Sophomore Class 1926 A FTER the Class of ' 26 left Roll a in the spring of 1923, they scattered from Maine to Texas to mix a little of the practical education with the theoretical. That was all very fine while it lasted, but about the middle of August the time came to seek more knowledge and heads were bent towards Rolla. Along about August 20, when the more faithful had managed to get back some way or other, they were checked up — counted several times in fact — and only forty-eight could be found; while 105 Frosh had registered. We kept the Frosh scattered for a few days, hut they were finally organized and one night, as we came into town after a search of the woods, eighty-nine were resting on the campus in front of the Met Building, with all the school lights burning to set forth their beaming countenances. Well — it was just another case of “too bad”. But this is where the strategy comes in. We spent many hours of searching to get forty-two of them together, and transported to a country school house, and then several sleepless nights to keep an eye on them and move them to keep their whereabouts from being discovered. But when the last great day came, we were still full of pep and it took only eight minutes by the watch to shackle them hand and foot in front of the Chemistry Building before the eyes of all the citizens of this fair city- And a more fitting end of a perfect day could not have been realized than the smoker in the gym. It is only a toss-up to tell whether the class is composed of students or athletes, but when the Soph-Frosh football game took place, we had enough athletes to hold them to a score of 6-6. However, the class is well represented in all branches of athletics and we are justly proud of our athletes. The Class of ' 26 went into the student work with zealous interest and probably the most renounced courses were: Physics, from whence comes many famous phrases; also, Volumetric Chemistry cannot be passed without notice — many weeks, day after day, the men filed jovially into class, only to come out with heads hanging low and a depressed look on their faces ; and then the Ijabor Course, or, as it is termed in the catalog, Assaying. The laboratory where the boys who are not acquainted with the gentle art of shoveling coal and chewing tobacco soon become proficient. With such events passed the Sophomore year of the Class of 1926, and although we are few in number, we have the means of strategy by which we can overcome great powers. Officers J. D. Crawford.

We arrived in the fair city of Rolia calmly and peacefully. While still learning the intricateness of RoliaN highways and byways, we were suddenly confronted by evi- dence of the malice borne us by the Sophomores, whose posters thnut themselves before our vision. Then began our nocturnal journeys to distant sleeping quarters in the wilderness to evade the grasp of the ferocious Soph, The Battle of the Golf Links returned the Sophs victors with numerous victims. Then followed the truce, which surprised everyone, giving us a night to recuperate and nurse our injuries. The following night we formed in squad formation outside of town and marched into town. There on the M.S.M. campus we met and defeated the mighty Sophomores. The class fight resulted, of course, in a Soph victory when our forces were depleted by forced absence of numerous of our number. In addition to upholding our scholastic standing, we were also active in athletics. We defeated our rivals, the Class of 26, In a track meet and succeeded in tying them in the annual football game. The Vocational students were also vanquished in a soccer game, I ucker Zoller, Player, Modqfi, and Thomas were our “M” men in football and freshmen formed practically the entire second team. Thomas and Riske were our representatives on the Varsity basketball team, McCandless was our rep- resentative as a member of the wrestling team. All of the Varsity teams had a num- ber of freshmen in their squads. We have always tried to do our share in furthering the success of various campus activities. Next year we will return to M.S.M, as Sophomores and we pledge ourselves to earn on the ideals, traditions and standards of in a true spirit of loyalty to our Alma Mater. Class Officers W. A.

One glimpse at the landscape on which we gazed would bruise your lips with reality and wash the mountebank valor with tears from your eyes. We, who have seen war for what it is, will always speak of it as the filthiest of jobs, fit only for human orang-outangs or maniacs.

BATTALLION Rollamo Fortjhievcn 1923 Summer Camp Fort Snelling, Minnesota f TU DENTS representing twenty universities and colleges from the eight states of Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas, Nebras ka, North Dakota, South Dakota , and Minnesota assembled on the fourteenth of June at Fort Snelling for one of the most successful R.O.T.C. summer camps for several years The 1923 Camp had embodied in it several branches of the service. These were: Infantry, Medical Corps, Dental Corps, Veterinary Corps, Motor Transport Corps, and the Engineer Corps. The Infantry units were larger in number, but all branches received the same thorough grounding in the fundamentals of their work. The Engineer company comprised some sixty men, including both basic and advanced course students from the Engineer units at the Missouri School of Mines, Iowa State College, State University of Iowa, and Kansas University The courses of instruction were so assigned that the student was kept interested by the varied work to which he was assigned. A brief list of the problems and details confronted by Engineer students were: Field Engineering and Demolitions, Bridges, Engineer Recon naissence. Sketching, Pontoons, Engineer Special Subjects, Horseman- ship, and numerous inspection trips to Minneapolis and surrounding country. In addition to these purely Engineering subjects were taught Rifle and Pistol Marksmanship, Minor Tactics, Bayonet Drill and various other Infantry subjects relative to the education of an Engineer Officer. Athletics in some form or other was required of every student attending camp and baseball, tennis, track, etc,, held popular favor among the men from the various colleges represented. T uesday and 1 hursday nights were nights of gaiety, of dancing at the Service Club. Girls tvere imported’ from Minnesota University and various clubs in Minneapolis and St. Paul for these gala affairs. Movies were shawm on all other nights for the entertainment of the embryo soldiers. Boxing and wrestling matches were always held prior to these movies and proved to he the most popular of all entertainments. M.S.M was represented by seventeen men at this camp and they achieved their share of those honors gained as a reward for their zealous work. Forty-eight Rollatno Reminiscences of Camp Life at Fort Snelling, 1923 T HE Miners made themselves known to the rest of the company to which they were assigned upon their very first day in camp, in their usual impressive man- ner — by wrinkling one of their members. Captain Meddling was in charge of the platoon in which were Burg, Couch, Cunningham, Druout, Gabler, Groscham, Hasselmann, Keim, F, C. Martin, C. L. Martin, Merrill, Rueh, Schaefer, Seifert, Stogsdill and Wilson from M.S.M, Sergeant Scott busied himself during the camp period by “pawing around , ducking out of sight of the company sergeant, and picking up stragglers from the ever decreasing ranks while on a march to one of the work details. In addition to being champion Mexican athletes of the company, this motley crew from the M.S.M. were conceded honors as Champion Trench Diggers, Lampert Foot Bridge Erectors, Pajama Parade Instigators, and last, but not least, “Champion Gold- Br Jokers . Burg and Schaefer vied for honors in this time-worn activity, each claiming the same ailment — a murmuring heart. “Bed Check at ten o ' clock developed little trouble for this thieving bunch of Miners who were w r ont to raid the mess halls at any, and all hours, until “someone discovered a barracks bag in Gabler’s bunk where he ought to have been. Aristocrats in the personages of Muench and Groschan often disturbed our “sweet rest on various occasions while they “dismounted” from their Yellow Cab at the barracks door and made a collection from the inmates therein to pay the skipper of this motor can Martin, Cunningham, Couch et al, led by the ever-curious Seifert, inspected the virtues of Seven Corners as recommended in a special order one balmy evening, in the hope that by so doing they might inculcate a better feeling between the members of the R.O.T.C. and the actors of these “playgrounds”. Much resulted from this thrilling episode and the incidents relative to this affair shall never be forgotten by those who weathered the storm, so to speak. Six Miners, namely, Burg, Wilson, Rueh, Merrill, Schaefer and Cunningham, were awarded Marksman ' s Medals for scores made on the rifle range. Individual honors, however, were awarded to Druout. He won the famed leather medal for his gallant effort, although Seifert gave him considerable competition. ( 1924 Those big, blonde, Swedish girls captivated several of the Miners, while attend- ing the dance, and those whose hearts had fluttered were quick to sense the situation and were next seen at the Berkeley Club, or some other rendezvous Wilson got away big in this activity He possessed all the characteristics of a native and as a result enjoyed himself to the utmost with some sweet damsel in a canoe in the mellow moonlight on Lake Harriet while his associates looked upon him with envy and a longing for blonde hair and quiet ways. The R.CXT.C Banquet, at a prominent hotel, was a crowning success. It was here that several prominent Miners were seen to stir their water with a spoon while a few unfortunates looked on in wonderment—and wondered. In spite of the usual camp routine— monkey drill, waiting tables and changing from denims to khaki and then to denims again — all voted having a good time. Even though the pay line was always reformed just when the Miners had bullied their way to the front Fifty Bollamo Athletics - R E Den nil Physical Director S. M. McGill i:m Cmic i M. A. Ledford C P.

Mills T HE initial call for football material was issued early in September by Coach C McCollum. Enough men turned out to make three teams and still have several to spare. Among them were Gabler, Arra, K. Comack, Ledford, Nolen, Sargent and Groscham, all men of known worth. The new men included Kemper, who made his first appearance on a gridiron this year, and quite a bit of promising Freshman material. T he annual contest with Washington University was just three weeks off, so Coach McCollum started with stiff workouts and rigid training. “Mac had many new plays and proceeded to put them out . Traditionally, Washington University of St. Louis, and Drury College of Spring- held are our bitterest rivals. To beat Washington University in any sport is always the foremost wish of every student of M.S.M, Miners 0 — Washington 7. St. Louis ; Missouri, October 6 , JQ 2 j. The squad had shown great promise and “pep” was running high; every Miner was certain to the Nth degree that this year we would beat Washington. It was a good game, eve foot either team advancing the ball had been fought arc or. sth Nolen at quarter, the team had a cool level-headed general, who mixed up the plays just right. Until the last few minutes of play the score was 0—0; the game bid fair to he either a tie at 0—0 or a Miner victory. Washington obtained the ball on the Miners’ 25 yard line after Gabler punted out ot bounds from behind the goal line. With the team that represented M.S.M. on Francis held Washington should never have beaten us. As it was, Walsh carried tile ball over and Levy k.eked goal, giving Washington the long end of the score. Fifty-six l ollatno Miners 0— Drake 54, Des Moines, I own, October ij, IQ2J, The game was played upon a very muddy field. To see a Miner slip and fall was a familiar sight, while to see a Bulldog slip was rare, if at all ; part of the story was that the Bulldogs had mud cleats and the Miners did not, and the other part of the story was that in Drake, the Miners had a very superior foe. Drake used off tackle plays and end runs to a great extent. It was Drake’s interference that enabled them to make the substantial gains they made on end runs. The Miners showed to best advantage at forward passing, Drake seemed to be unable to solve our passing combination. At one time in the game the Miners took the ball from the kickoff to the Bulldogs 1 3 yard line, where it was lost to Drake on downs. Miners 0 — Southwestern Methodist University 35. D a lias, T exas, October 1 6, i Q2 J. The game with the Southern Methodists was another one we should have clinched but failed. Very little can be said of this game, except that Dame Fortune svas with the Mustangs, that breaks were against us, and that the Miners failed to exhibit the fight that they usually have Miners 34 — Kirksville 7. Jack ling Feld, October 26 , 1Q2J. In the first home game of the season the Miners “did their stuff”. On offensive the line often broke through the opposing line, while on defensive it was very hard to pierce; the backfield played an excellent game and the aerial attack was brilliant. Kemper and Ledford at end positions never failed to get the passes. No one man was the star of the game, but the team as a whole starred. Spencer and Warren were the stars of the Kirksville team. Spencer’s broken field running helped in a great measure to keep the score down. It was Warren, who in five successive plays made their only touchdown. The game, though ending in a one-sided score was very interesting to the last minute of play. Every yard the Miners advanced was well earned. Miners 109 — Kansas City University 0, J acklmg Field , ' November 2 , IQ2J , The K. C. University team was composed of just Little fellas”. It probably would have represented a high school fairly well, but they were entirely outclassed by the Miners. The Miners continually demolished the opposing line on the offensive, while on the defensive it could not be pierced. In short, the Miners did just what they wanted to do, since the K. C. U. couldn’t stop them. The record for a touchdown was probably made in this game — 35 seconds after the kickoff, jack Nolen, pushing the K, C backfield out of his way and making a touchdown, characterized the game. After the first half, the game was tiresome to watch. Almost everyone turning out for football this year, had a crack at K. C. University. w Bollamo Fifty-seven Miners 53 — Oklahoma School of Mines 6. Jack ling Field, November Q y 1923 X he last home game of the season brought a large crowd to see the slaughter of the Oklamoha Miners. The first quarter gave all the promise of being a close hard fought game. The teams seemed to be on a par and in the early part of the second half the score stood Miners 7, Oklahoma Miners 6. The Miners strengthened after Oklahoma made its only touchdown and afterward our goal line was never seriously threatened. Spectacular plays were in an abundance; ' lacker’s run of 50 yards through a broken field for a touchdown and Kemper ' s 82 yard run for a touch down were the most spectacular. The Oklahoma Miners had two very good men, Lemon and Lee, upon whom the whole team was built The game started without Jack Nolen, whose position at quarter was ably filled by I ho mas. T homas may seem small in comparison with the big boys, but lie is ail there. It Is a hard job to replace Nolen, but Tommie “did himself proud”. Miners 13 — Drury 7. Springfield, Missouri, November 16, 1923, Quite a number of Miners were present in Stone Chapel on the morning of the game and between the Drury students and the Miners a real live pep meeting was had. Drury was very ' optimistic until after the first five minutes of play. The Miners displayed real football during the first half and seldom failed to make first downs. In this period the Miners tore through the Panthers almost at will and made their two touchdowns. Coming back in the second half the Miners were disposed to loaf, while the [’anthers came hack with real tight and made their only touchdown by a foot on the fourth down. Given another half minute to plav, the Miners would have had another ' touchdown, as the game ended with the ball in the Miners’ possession on Drury s 3 yard line. it was a fitting revenge after Drury’s totally unexpected victory last year. u ollamo own until Kemper and Tucker, Miners, were injured and taken cut of the game in the latter part of the first quarter. The outstanding feature of the game was Tuckers (Aggies) run of S5 yards for a touchdown I his game, in which the Miners played against a superior, but not a harder hit- ting and fighting team, closed the 1923 football season SUMMARY The men chosen for MX A. A , were: Kemper— left end, first team; Jack Nolen —quarter second team, McBride of Kansas City made a wise choice for Kemper as ieft end, first team, but as for jack Nolen, the concensus of opinion would place him on the first team also. 1 hough by graduation we lose several men whose places will be very hard to fill, the football prospects for next year are exceedingly bright. We have the present Juniors Sophomores, and the large output of Freshmen to form a foundation of the coming team Then, Dame Rumor has it that lemon and Lee, the Oklahoma Miners team who made such a brilliant showing on Jackling Field during the past season, will be with us for next season. With this outlook — Oh ! Washington! t924 Lettermen NOLEN, CAPTAIN, QUARTERBACK. Whenever you think of Jack Nolen you think of football, mainly because Jack was a football player from head to toe. His field generalship ranks on a par with the best of them. He is a sure tackier, and a certain ground gainer. TUCKER, HALFBACK. Tuck expressed his outstanding characteristic one night in Rolla’s theatre — Stay right in there, Mona.” He surely does “stay right in there”. When Tuck is backing up the line, rest easy, boys, ’sail right. THOMAS, QUARTERBACK When Nolen was absent from the line-up his position was ably filled by Tommy. Though light, Tommy is stockilv enough built to stand the gaff. ROBINSON, FULLBACK. Pike was a good line plunger and a good defensive player. The only place he throws much of a line is on the football field, but there he tries to do all the th rowin’ all the time. FISHER, HALFBACK Fish started at end, but it was at halfback that lie made his big showing. He was speedy snd carried many of the end runs. Fish had the speed of a light man and the hard line-hitting ability of a heavy man. which carried him through on line plunges. Sixty “Rollamo — 1924 MODOFF, HALFBACK, At first glance we could never tell that “Tony, the football playei” and “Tony about town” were one and the same. “Tony about town” wears hobnails on his shoes, and you can tell it; “Tony, the football player” wears wings on his shoes just like old Mercury himself,- — and you can tell it, PLAYER, END, HALFBACK. Player alternated at end and halfback and played equally well in either position He came here with quite a rep, and we think he has kept it. His football charac- teristics are speed, open field runner, and good interference runner. KEMPER, LEFT END. Little Claudie, though familiar to basketball fans all over the state, received his first introduction to football fans this year. The little fellow was always down under the punts and broke up innumerable plays on bis end of tire line. On the offensive, Kemp shown brightest LEDFORD, CAPT. -ELECT, RIGHT END. Mike has played three years of superior football for M, S, M. Alike is one of the biggest mainstays of the team. Nothing can wipe the smile off of his face and the way he peps up the team by incessant talking is good to hear, Mike is another one of those pass catching wonders and cannot be beat as a tackier. CAMPBELL, END. Jack always gave his time to football and in his last year landed a letter. He was very speedy and always was in the biggest scrap. Jack is one of the fight in’est athletes known to the campus. 1924 ZOLLER, CENTER. A brother of Hank, he upholds the Zoller traditions. During this, his first year, he has shown that he is well able to hold down the position of center. He has three more years in which to improve over Tin Ear, which is a hard task to put before any man. GABLER, RIGHT GUARD. Gabler has given four years of real football to M. S, M. Gabe would he hard to beat as a guard. Very few ever pushed George out of the way while on the con- trary he opened up holes big enough for a wagon to go through. COMMACK, LEFT GUARD. Kirk, or Tarzan, because of his great build and hairy chest, is one of the key- tones of the great wall through which nothing should pass. Kirk snickers every time someone tries to push him out of the way, because he thought that fellorv must be foolish — and so did we. E. NEIL, TACKLE. Earl, alphabetically the first of the Neil Twins, is very difficult to distinguish from Merl, in both looks and football. Earl is very steady, has a cool, level head and consistency to go with it. He cannot be beat for fight, and his thinking, combined with intuition, has caused him to break up innumerable plays. M. NEIL, TACKLE. Check above ! They can’t be separated. OIL CANS. This cannot be complete if we omit the oil cans, without whom we could not have a good varsity team. The oil cans are just as laudable as those mentioned above, but were bested by more experienced men. Let’s have a good turnout next season. Everyone has a chance ! Basketball C. L.

These men were of proven quality and we knew’ that winning team or not, the games would be interesting and plenty scrappy. I lie majority of us will naturally expect championship basketball, having seen a team which was certainly worthy of holding the championship two years ago. St. Louis U. 42— Miners 29. Jackling Gym, January tj, 1924 . Murphy and McClelland at forward, Kemper at center, Campbell and Riske at guard opened the season. Riske showed up well in this game and continued to improve all the time. The Billikens were too much. Kopl, playing center for St. Louis proved very clever with a basketball. He dribbled and pivoted through our team repeatedly. Kopl, alone, drew- in 20 of their 42 points. Murphy was high scorer, with 12 points for the Miners. Basketball Squad BASKETBALL SQUAD 1 Sixty- four Wm. Jewell 31 — Miners 26, Jackling Gym, January 24, JQ24. ... T ] e inC r rS WCre beaten 31 to 26 in the first e ame the two game series with Wm. Jewell of Liberty. The Jewell quintet started off with a bang and ran up a score of 17 to 6 in the first half, i he Miners seemed unable to comprehend what was going on, and the fighting spirit was ragged. The second half saw a reversal of scoring, but the Miners were unable to overcome such a lead. Kemper was the main scoring machine for the Miners, Miners 25 — Wm, Jewell 17. Jackling Gym J January 2$ t 1924, A complete turning of tables was seen when the Miners came back the second night and took Jewell down a step. Kemper was unable to start the game, because of illness and was replaced by Campbell, who in turn was replaced by Arra, The Miners soon got the lead and were never overtaken. The game was a fast one, each team wanting that game very much. Seven minutes of the first half passed with neither team scoring. Then the Miners started and piled up a lead of 23 to 7 in the first half. Jewell came back strong, giving the Miners only one goal in the second half, but were unable to overcome such a commanding lead. McClelland and Campbell were the bright lights of the evening with Murphy contending strongly for the honors. St. Louis U. 43— Miners 27. St. Louis . Again we suffered defeat at the hands of the Billikens. In a gym in which it was difficult to see the basket, the Billikens, after the first seven minutes drew away from the Miners, never to be caught up with. Our scoring machine was far below its average. The ball would either fall a little short or roll around the rim a few times and fall out The long distance shooting of Eggler, and the brilliant floor work of Kopl were the outstanding features o f the Bil liken game. McClelland and Kemper starred for the Miners. Springfield 46 — Miners 25. Spring field , February g, 1924 The Baers gave us a bad beating. With a veteran team offering aggressive offense and a stone wall defense, they piled up a score of 21 to 5 at the end of the first half. Kemper scored the only two baskets made by the Miners in the first half. In the second half, true to precedent and characteristic throughout the season, the Miners came back strong. At one time they were within a few points of the Baers, but were stopped and the Baers were off again on a score-making rampage. Miners 39— Warrens burg 26, Jackling Gym. The Miners took the Mules down a peg; the Mules, before the game were con- fident of victory. When they saw the game being taken away from them, they fought like demons, making the game fast and exciting. The Miners started off at the whistle and held the good end of a 22 to 16 score. During the second half the two teams were neck and neck until the last five minutes of play when Kemper called time out and put a stop to their scoring. Kemper and McClelland were easily the stars of the game. Together they amassed a total of 28 points. Warrensburg 23 — Miners 22. Jacklhig Gym . Smarting with the defeat of the previous night, the Mules came back for revenge. Neither team scored much in the first half. The second half was a battle royal. The Mules ahead with 23 to 20, three minutes to go. Thomas sank a basket from mid-floor and the game ended with the ball in the Mules ' possession. This game was especially hard for the Miners to lose as that extra point was given the Mules as a result of the spectators trying to razz the referee, but the referee wouldn ' t play that way. Sixty- five Drury 24 — Miners 20. J tickling Gym February ig, 1 Q 24 The Miners lost to the “flaming reds” in a hard fought game. Campbell replac- ing Kemper at center in the first half, played the starring game of the evening. Duke is always there, when his opponents come down the floor, to relieve them of the ball and show them what direction it ought to go. Kemper came in in the second half and immediately put two goals through the hoop. This placed the Miners right behind Drury, hut the guarding of Decker and Matthews put a stop to any hopes in that direction. The scoring was 50-50 until the whistle blew as the Panthers dropped in their last field goal. Riske is coming along fine and Murphy played his customary good game. Of course, nobody has out jumped the big boy as yet, Drury 36 — Miners 24, Springfield , The Panthers again took the bacon away from us. Freund and Matthews alone piled up a large enough score to beat us, Drury had obtained a seven point lead at the end of the first half and continued to increase it until the final whistle blew. Kemp and Mac proved to be the scorers on the Miner five, Cunningham was at guard again and played a very nice game. Miners 37— Missouri Wesleyan 17. Cameron , Mo, In the second game of their road trip the Miners gave Missouri Wesleyan a nice defeat all tied up and delivered at the end of the first half which ended 18 to 6. Mac and Kemp found the basket again with 13 points each. Duke and Riske played one of their best games of the season, I hey presented an air-tight defense, giving chances hut for very few open shots. The Miners started in early to pile up a score and didn t stop for anything, Campbell thought that maybe we didn’t have enough, so he also dropped in a couple. Wm. Jewell 25 — Miners 24. Liberty, Mo, Here the Miners were leading until the last few minutes, only to have Jewell pass them by just enough to win the game, 1 he basket-shooting of the Miners was terribly ragged. No one could make a goal but Kemp who took it upon himself to wm by amassing a total of 16 points. The Miners lead 12 to 11 at the end of the first half. 1 he scoring was so close throughout the game, that it was just anybody ' s basketball game after the first five minutes of play. Kemper certainly showed his scoring ability on this road trip. Miners 38— Cape Girardeau 26. After the road trip the Miners came back hot for victory and took Cape dowr the old pike to the above mentioned tune. Kemper opened up the game with two fieU goads from the middle of the floor. With this as an example, the team started in t score big After the second half had begun, the Teachers never caught up again.

Sixty- six Rollamo 1924 Basket Ball Squad KEMPER, CAPTAIN, CENTER. Little Claud ie has never permitted himself to he out jumped. A player whose heart and soul is in the game, one who puts out all that is in him, one who has it to put out i and a clean sportsman. Who would want more? Kemp will receive a gold basketball for four years of stellar playing — and he earned it. McClelland, forward. Mac will always be remembered at M, S, M. as one of the best forwards we ever had, and surely without a peer in gameness and fight, Mac has exceptional floor work and a keen eye for baskets. Always cool on the floor — a thinker and doer. But for a little hard luck in his third year, he, too would be the recipient of a gold basketball. CAMPBELL, FORWARD. Jack always got that fiery red hair into all plays and always came out with the sphere. Many a flying tackle on the ball did Jack do on the nice soft floor of the gym to prevent an opponent getting the ball and starting it to a possible goal. He could always be depended upon for a steady game and a score. This is also Jack’s last year at M, S, M., leaving a hole hard to be filled. MURPHY, FORWARD, Rollamo Murph has finished two years of basketball and has proven himself a valuable man. He is very fast, tireless, and is a very good shot, Murph certainly puts all he has into the game. If you see a man on the floor always after the ball, racing up and down the floor when it seems impossible to catch up with the man who has the ball— 1 that’s Murph, Sixty-seven Wr 1924 ARRA, GUARD. A bulwark of strength „ against which many a man pitted himself, only to find that the bulwark didn’t move and to find himself the proud loser of the ball. Duke was always there to get the ball after a shot and seldom permitted an open shot. You ' ll have to hand it to Duke even without considering that he played with a pretty bad knee, secured in football. RISKE, GUARD, Riske, in a flying leap, with his knees bent up under him, always got the ball on his signal at the tip-off, which is one of the most valuable plays a man can make. Riske played very good basketball and is developing to he better all along. He has three more years to play and much can be expected of him. POSTSCRIPT (To Basketball). In the abov e review the reader may obtain the notion that we had only one or two stars on the team. 1 his impression is very probably fostered by the fact that there are positions on the team more spectacular than others. The eye always picks out the spectacular, which is why some of the positions have not been lauded to any great extent. Sixty-eight Rollam o 1CV 1 Wrestling and Boxing N O BOXING meets were staged this year although we had plenty of good material Capt Kessler, Stogsdill, Letts and Schneeberger, men who had fought in previous years, a bunch of new scrappy fighters were ready for them hut they did not come. The wrestling team, although very few were out for this sport , made great head- way under the able guidance of Coach McCandless and Capt. W alker. Wrestling is a comparatively new sport. This school has had good boxing and wrestling teams and let’s hope it will in the future. Wrestling 1 Seventy L Bollamo J. I). Crawford Warren Fruit A. W. Walker, Capt . C. L. Martin C. D. Craig S.

Ames had a champion- ship team, up to the present, unbeaten. The Miner squad did not give anything away. Ames fought hard for all she got. With the exception of Nebraska, whom Ames defeated 19 to 11, the Miners put up the stiffest struggle Ames had to contend with so fan Sam Craig brought home the only counters by securing a decision over Epperly with an advantage of 3 minutes and 11 seconds. The most exciting bout of the evening was the one in which Meyer of Ames threw Shramm in 11 minutes and 58 seconds. Schramm came through with high honors. He broke hold after hold and endured terrible punishment, but passed out with only two more seconds to wrestle. 115 pound class, Bovnly (A) ohtained decision over Walker (M).

Joh N L Rollarao The Mississippi Valley Experiment Sta- tion of the United States Bureau of Mines T HE new building which occupies a space of about 110x125 feet between Parker Hall and jack ling Gymnasium is the Mississippi Valley Experiment Station of the United States Bureau of Mines, The plan of the building is H shaped, making is essentially in two parts connected by a passageway- The front wing is occupied by the offices and fine research laboratories of the Bureau of Mines on the ground floor, by the Mining Department of The School of Mines on the top floor, and the offices and laboratories of the State Experiment Station in the semi-basement. Most of the rear wing is occupied by a laboratory 28x80 feet on the ground floor and extending the full height of the rear wing. The equipment is complete with heavy machinery and apparatus for large scale experimental work. It includes a ten-ton Milwaukee floor operated traveling crane. In the north end of the rear wing are the electrolytic and the elect rot hcrmic laboratories. In the semi-basement is the rock drill testing laboratory. At the south end is the crusher room, and in the basement below that is the cement testing laboratory of the C,E, department. This building, erected at a cost of $125,000, is the last word in a strictly modern, fireproof, reinforced concrete and brick structure. The arrangement of the large number of windows, and the type and location of the lighting fixtures makes this one of the best lighted buildings in the Middle West, both from the standpoint of natural daylight and also artificial illumination. One of the special features is that the building is equipped with electrical circuits to supply 1 10 volt A.C., 220 volt D C M 440 volt A.C., and 2200 volt, .3 phase A.C. electric power. All laboratories are equipped with water, gas, and compressed air. H. H. Hohenschild, Architect. William MacDonald, Construction Co., Contractor, Professor C. V.

One Hundred Four Activities St. Patrick’s - 1923 Owing to the fact that the 1924 Rollamo goes to the publishers sometime before the 1924 St. 1 at s celebration, an account of this event cannot be published this year —and such a condition will undoubtedly exist in regard to St. Pat’s write-ups in sub- sequent editions of the Rollamo.. It has been deemed advisable, therefore, to repeat an account of St. Pat’s of 1923, in this issue. It was a bright, clear, crisp morning, when all true and loyal engineers paused for a few moments once again in the midst of their daily toil to pay homage to the coming of the big boss himself, their noble and worthy patron saint— Saint Patrick. Nobly and well did his chariot grace the silver Frisco highway as the venerable bard approached Rollie’s fair terminal Here, midst the cheers of mighty multitudes, the old man and his attendants started on their tour of the faire citie, followed by the various gaily-decked caravans of the youngest sons, all desirous of paying the utmost homage to their esteemed patron. However, the weather man having previously decreed that the old saint should not expose his personage to the elements for any too long a length of time, the party this time proceeded to Parker Hall for the forthcoming knighting ceremonies. It was here for the first time that St. Pat ' was able to extend his greetings to the school and visitors. There was some talk that at times, behind the heavy, mossy visage of the old man, could he discerned a slight resemblance to Mr. Curt Stover, but this may have been merely the result of some rumor. At this point is was discovered that further continuance of the ceremonies would be impossible, owing to the seeming misplace- ment of the necessary Blarney Stone. As luck would have it, however, the arrival of an old prospector, fresh from the train, solved the problem, for by means of a slight amount of forced persuasion on the part of two police officers he yielded up the precious gem. In due form, St. Pat presented each of his senior sons with pin and patent, and after numerous fatherly reprimands, kowtows, and smacks at the Blarney Stone, the last one was told to “begone” in a sonorous voice, and the ceremony ended. That night, St. Pat ' s ball rivaled in splendor all those of his previous comings. The gym had been transformed into a place of mystic wonder, of shamrocks, etc., in their own rustic setting, which, together with a charming series of shadow and color combination lighting effects, completely banished thoughts of the remaining cold and dark outside world from the minds of the gay participants. At about eleven-thirty, St. Pat himself appeared on the scene and commanded the crowd to kowtow. He then began his stately march down the aisle and took his place on the throne. In a short time he was followed bv Miss Hazel Dent— St. Pat’s Queen, 1921, Miss Bertha Fulton, and the maids of honor, Miss Helen Underwood and Miss Marian Fulton, each with her respective escorts. It was then that St. Pat commanded the crowd to kowtow in honor of the Queen, who approached up the aisle. However, the crowd refused to remain kowtowed at so magnificent a queen as Mrs. Curtis Edward Stover. She moved on down the aisle until she came to the throne, before which she knelt and was officially crowned Queen of the 1923 St. Pat ' s celebration by the Patron Saint himself. Following the ceremony, dancing was resumed and continued until five o’clock Saturday morning.
