It will determine in large part the degree of success and prosperity that shall attend our Alma Mater in the future. The class of Nineteen Hundred Twenty-Four has endeavored to record the events of this year in this volume, the more clearly to hold them in memory. In these pages may you find not only a record of the larger events of college life for the year, but also of those smaller personal happenings that enrich the daily life of each student and that play so large a part in all the most treasured of college experiences. If in the future this book recalls pleas- ant associations of the year 1922-23; inspires in you a deeper love for Old Simpson and a deeper faith in her, and brings anew into your heart the warmth of the true Simpson Spirit, it will have fulfilled its purpose. Parje Six CONTENTS A dm i7i is 17'a t io n C lasses Athletics Organisations Features $ iC£S££ i SIMPSON of the PAST Simpson of the Past is a story of great oppor- tunity, noble effort and stirring achievements; a regal background for our splendid Simpson of Today Page Eight Ks� SIMPSON of the FUTURE Simpson of the Future is a dream of higher ideals and truer pur- poses; of greater work and more glorious success Payc Nine Old Bluebird speaks of devout pioneers, With dauntless faith, who, through trying years, Dreamed dreams and had visions boundless, sublime, Which remained unshaken by hardships of time. As we look on the college we love today, On these halls inspiring and lofty, we pay A tribute loyal, true, sincere. To those who founded Simpson here. The Old Chapel! As we think of past years, A flood of fond memories, tender as tears, Brings a mist to the eyes, a throb at the heart, And emotions ‘which from us can never depart. Old Chapel and New are merged into one. May those with college days now just begun Have, in largest measure, as precious a treasure Of memories, tinged with deepest pleasure. To students the velvety campus” is dear. ‘Those stalely trees, vjcre they always here?” IT as asked of an honored, (fray-haired seer; Class of ’71 to be more clear. Those trees? Why ” said he, “these hands of mine Helped plant them there in ’69.” Aye, men of vision and faith were these Who planted the whispering” maple trees. ’Twas airly decreed that sludenls must know The laws of natural science, and so, In days of yore, through the open door Of Learning, ambitious folk flocked for more Knowledge of Chemistry, Physics, and alt The related sciences they could recall. Their equipment was meagre, their “lab” was small; How they would have revelled in Science Ilall. In Science llall, on the upper floor, U'as the old library, with its small store Of donated books; there were only a few, But from this nucleus great things grew. Now, books by the thousand on the shelves repose; And alt who wish may find among those The learning and lore of countless ages, Gleaned from the wisdom of scholars and sages. 'Tis a simple old adage, but none the less true. That all work and no play makes a dullard of you. To guard against such an unfortunate end I “Gym was erected, which did indeed tend Toward health and good spirits. No more do we know That rambling, red structure, long, and low; It was doomed to speedy destruction, when ‘Our Gym” was built by a prince among men. Of the New Building it need not he told How, a live flame, from ashes of the Old It arose in splendor, shedding light To dispel darkness, banish the night Of ignorance, prejudice, and all Kindred misfortunes which may befall. Its light a beacon shall be to youth, A perfect guide to the source of Truth. Shalt we, the fortunate heirs of an age Of vision and faith, lose our heritagef Shall these rich treasures our forbears bought, .'ll the price of sacrifice, be for naughtf Ah, no! For the future no fear need be! Dear Simpson, thy daughters are loyal to thee; Thy sons will stand steadfast for all that is pure; And Old Simpson’s glory shall ever endure. jitf FACULTY “Builders of the Simpson that is to be. They have given of themselves in a real sacrificial way, and shall reap their rewards in the successes of their students. Pn jc Eighteen PRESIDENT HILLMAN Page Nineteen John- L. Hillman, A. 13.. S.

For many years the success of its graduates has been demonstrat- ing the value of a business education. At present it is doing excellent work, using modern methods in teaching students how to meet the difficult problems of modern business. The thorough training in fundamental principles is equally valuable to the student whether he is preparing for a business career or for the teaching profession. For the work done in the School of Business, full college credit is given. This enables many students to combine a business training with a course in Liberal Arts without taking any extra time.

One can scarcely realize that some years ago, when Professor Barrows first came to Simpson as Dean of the School of Music, the Conservatory consisted of one piano in a small room in Science Hall. Back in ’99 there were but three conservatory teachers and only two graduates. Both Men’s and Ladies’ Glee Clubs were organized during the course of the year by Professor Alexander Emslie, teacher of voice. It may be of interest to present day Simpsonites to know that A. D. Middleton, as he signed his name in those days, was leader of the Male Glee Club. In 1901 an Eighteen-piece Orchestra was organized. A Thirty-piece Band also claimed the conservatory as its birth-place. Another organization that had not ex- isted before, nor has since, was the Mandolin Club. A Simpson Quartette was organized in 1902, and no doubt Arthur Middleton had a very active part in it. 1903 must have been a golden year for the conservatory, for the Glee Clubs. Orchestra and Band were in the zenith of their excellence, and Arthur Middleton was finishing his work at Simpson under Professor Emslie. In 1907 the faculty numbered eight, among them Professor Everett S. Olive to whom Simpson is especially grateful for the words and music of some of her best songs. The Conservatory made rapid strides in the next few years. A noteworthy event was the copyrighting and publication in 1910 of The Simpson College Song Book. In 1910 an Oratorio, The Holy City,” was sung by eighty-six voices to the ac- companiment of an excellent Sixteen-piece Orchestra. Professor John McK. Hen- derson directed the Oratorio and the Ladies’ Glee Club. The next year, 1911-12, the conservatory possessed the reputation of being the best in the West. The Ladies’ Glee Club won the State Championship that year and in the year following. 1913 marked the advent of Professor Herbert A. Harvey, Instructor in Violin, and Professor Ellis M. Rhodes succeeded Professor Henderson as head of the Voice Department. The Musical Club was disbanded and in its place appeared a Bach Club of fifteen girls. The Orchestra was re-established by Professor Harvey. Professor Rhodes sent the glee clubs on a concert tour to the Pacific Coast in 1915. The year 1915-16 brought the organization of a Madrigal Club, and of a Male Quartet that gave thirty concerts during the year. A Music Festival, The Golden Legend,” was given under the direction of Professor Rhodes. 1917 saw the disbanding of the Bach Club, and the organization of the Sigma Sigma Sigma Music Club, which became Mu Alpha Chapter of Mu Phi Epsilon in 1917. Pi Chapter of Phi Mu Alpha was installed the same year. In 1918-19 Professor Ira Pratt succeeded Professor Rhodes as head of the Voice Department. Professor Bernhardt Bronson, who is now Professor Pratt’s suc- cessor, is maintaining the high quality of the Glee Club work, and those who have heard Professor Harvey’s orchestra declare it is superior to any former one. It is impossible to over-estimate the value of Professor Frank E. Barrows’ work through the years he has been Dean of the Conservatory. He has ever been an inspiration to students and teachers alike; and the success of the Conservatory as a whole, as well as of the various departments in the School of Music, must in large part be attributed to him.

The 1923 Zenith predicted a bright future for this branch of college activities. In these pages we are proud to state that in a large measure our dreams have become realities. The development of Simpson’s Athletics under the direction of the Alumni Ath- letic Committee has been little short of phenomenal. The past season’s results place the Red and Gold at, or near, the top in the Iowa Conference in all branches of major college sports. A portion of the following pages is devoted to a more de- tailed record of the season’s scores. But the glory of the Red and Gold clad teams is not all of the present, nor of the yet mythical future. In past generations Simpson warriors have met and de- feated at football, basketball, and baseball some of the best teams in the middle west. Among these may be mentioned Missouri University, Nebraska University. Kansas University, Monmouth College, Haskell Institute, Drake University, and Iowa State College at Ames. Track records also tell their story of glorious victories of the past. Firsts in both State and Missouri Valley meets are chronicled on Simpson’s tablets of fame. As the connecting link between a glorious past and a promising future, the Spirit of Greater Simpson breathes to athletic enthusiasts and boosters of the present a message of inspiration and conquest. Backed by the unquenchable spirit and tho financial resources of our Alumnal Host, there are no impossibilities on Simpson’s athletic horizon. As an expression of the confidence that the Alumni Committee has in the fighting spirit and ability of next season’s grid squad, games have already been scheduled with Iowa State College at Ames and the Haskell Indians of Law- rence, Kansas. The significance of these games is appreciated when it is remembered that Iowa State plays a regular schedule in the strong Missouri Valley Conference, while the Haskell aggregation meets every year some of the best college and uni- versity teams of the country. Pennsylvania State, Annapolis Naval Academy and Washington State University are all on the Indians’ schedule for next year. The work of the $2,000,000 endowment campaign is going steadily forward under efficient leadership. To those who believe in Simpson’s future, this gigantic under- taking is already an assured success. Our Administration and Faculty through their sympathetic understanding and tactful help in meeting and solving the problems and difficulties of under-graduate students, are doing their part in the Greater Simpson Movement through the development of higher ideals of scholarship and service. Let us then as students in the “Finest Old School in the West,” forgetting not our rightful contributions to the development of the Spiritual and Mental, give freely of our brains and brawn to the building of clean, hard-hitting athletic teams— teams that, by their prowess on the gridiron, basketball Hoor, baseball diamond and track, will make a great and glorious contribution to the unquenchable and invin- cible Spirit of Greater Simpson. Page Sevrnly-l irft CECIL A. CUSHMAN A large measure of Simpson’s success in athletics this year may be attributed to the efforts of Coach Cushman. In the past season the school reaped the benefits of his last two years’ work. He has put the athletics of the school on a firm basis. Coach Cushman has left his mark, not only on the athletics of the school, but also on the lives of the men in the college with whom he has been asso- ciated. With a personality that radiates geniality, and with a fondness for wholesome fun, he has won his way into the hearts of the student body. In his efforts to develop manhood he has not devoted him- self exclusively to those who are skilled in athletics, but has given sympathetic guidance to those who are less fortunate. Physical “torture” has ceased to be under his regime, and in its place has been substi- tuted true physical culture. Some form of Physi- cal activity for every man in school is his aim. In competitive athletics his goal has always been, not so much to develop teams which would “win the game,” as to turn out men who would “play the game.” His men were always in the best possible condition. In his two seasons of supervision over strenuous sports, his record has not been marred by a single serious injury to a member of any team. No coach in the conference has had his teams in better condition all of the time than has our own mentor. A good winner and a game loser himself, he aimed to instill the same spirit of good sportsmanship into his “club.” During adversity, when things were going wrong, he never alibied but always fixed his eyes on the next game. But woe unto the man who tried to razz the boys when the coach was around! On the field Cushman sent out teams that fought to the final whistle and always fought clean. “Hit ’em hard. Hit ’em till they smoke, but hit ’em clean” was his admonition before every game. Cushman’s slate is clean from any game won by unfair or shady tactics. No one can deny that above all “Cush” is a square guy. When “Cush” leaves us to go into other fields, he will be missed by scores of friends. Simpson owes a debt of gratitude to Cecil A. Cushman, Coach, Friend, Adviser, Sportsman; and above all, a “regular fellow”. Page Seventy-four THE HOWLING HUNDRED At no time in the history of Simpson College has there been any greater display of pep than during the present year. It was felt by some campus critics early in the fall that the football team was not receiving the support it merited from the bleachers. Subsequent events proved that this was due to a lack of team work among the fans rather than to lack of appreciation. Indeed it might be said that there were more individual stars among the rooters than ever before. Frank Brown, Hollis Butter- field, Julia LaPella and Rex Winslow were all playing a wonderful game of side line football; each one of these scintillating satellites making great gains over any- thing heard on a Simpson field in recent years. Finally the President of the Joshua Club, Raymond Smith, called a convention of pep experts to see what could be done in the way of concentrating the resources of the vox toreadori. At this convention plans for the organization of a Holding Hundred were developed. A hundred students, fifty men and fifty women, were, as a result of these deliberations, organized into the most ferocious mob of yellers that ever absorbed the moisture from bleacher seats on a cold, wet autumn after- noon. Presenting a picturesque apearance in their bright red and gold fez caps, these hundred human pepper boxes poured out through their eight inch rooting cones all the vocal energy that had been accumulating in their systems since the days when “daddy” had first introduced them to the soothing and quieting influence of paregoric between midnight and dawn. Truly, their motto, “A lung for Victory” was not taken in vain. John Scott was elected to the office of Johsua President at the begining of the basketball season, and proved himself a rare man for the place from the standpoint of both personality and training; for it is rumored that John attended Sunday School regularly during his early life.

Football fans experienced their first thrills of the season when the Simpson gridders downed the Graccland eleven by a score of 34 to 0. Led by Cap- tain Meek, the team displayed a style of play and a fighting spirit against which the Mormons struggled in vain. Although the team did not show the smoothness and precision of play which characterized it later in the season, yet every man showed a fighting spirit that gave evidence, of great possibilities for the future. Captain Meek was the outstanding man in the Simpson line. l ime and again he broke through the opposing line and nailed the Graceland backs for substantial losses. At times the Simpson backfield uncovered a winning brand of offensive play, but they were weak on the defense. McCoy at half was the most consistent ground gainer for the Red and Gold. Mercer, Reed and Burns also plaved good ball in the back- ficld. After two weeks’ practice a large crowd of Red and Gold supporters witnessed the easy defeat of Central’s mediocre eleven. Although Simpson won easily, it was de- cidedly her “oft day.” Team work was featured by its absence, although the men played brilliantly as individuals. Three different times “Barney” got away for beautiful open field runs to touchdowns that didn’t count as a part of the final score, because of some technical illegality in the play of other members of the team. Meek’s smashing playing at tackle was one of the features of the game. Dewey Halden played his first game at full. His powerful plunging overwhelmed the Dutchmen from Pella, and showed that Dewey was a man to expect great things of in future games. Fawcett and Shultz also played good ball. Simpson won 24-7. In the third game of the season the Red and Gold warriors were a little unlucky, and lost to the powerful Iowa State Teachers’ club by a score of 6-7. Playing with- out the stellar services of McCoy at half, the team was severely handicapped; but as a team showed complete reversal of form over the loose game with Central the week before. The Teachers’ touchdown came in the second quarter as a result of a com- pleted forward pass. Their kick went over. Simpson braced in the third, and by a series of well executed tackle smashes and end runs, placed the pigskin within striking distance of the enemy’s goal. Mercer carried it over. The try for a place- kick was blocked, and it was here that we lost, 7-6. Smith and Meek played great football on both offense and defense. Dewey Halden lived up to expectations and showed some more of the type of plunging that was so disheartening to the Central team the week before. Glen Devine’s Wildcats were slated for the next battle. As was expected, Par- sons, under the tutelage of the old S. U. I. star, had a strong and smooth working aggregation. Luck seemed to be with the enemy who secured their touchdown early in the game after recovering a fumble. Not disheartened by this, and grimly de- termined to overcome the Wildcats’ lead, the Red and Gold succeeded in tying the score in the second half, although they were not able to push over for winning points. A long pass from Mercer to Scroggs gave Simpson the ball on Parsons’ one yard line. Mercer smashed it over and tied the score by kicking goal. The score 7-7 showed fairly the comparative strength of the two teams. Patjr F. 'ighty-iszo On November 24th, before the largest Homecoming crowd in the history of the school, the Red and Gold suffered a most humiliating defeat at the hands of Penn College. Lead by their speedy negro star, Ashby, the Quakers kept up a shifty and persistent attack throughout the entire game. Several times during the game, by a baffling mixture of brilliant open field running by Ashby, and clever passing, they carried the pigskin dangerously near our goal only to lose it on downs. Finally, in the fourth period, the menace became a reality when Nciswangcr scored the only touchdown of the game on an off-tackle plunge. Aside from a few spurts Simpson played listlessly, displaying only a mediocre brand of ball. McCoy, who was out with an injured knee, was put in near the end of the game to try for a touchdown via the open field route. Barney came near to pulling the unexpected, but, after eluding practically the entire Penn team, he tripped and fell. His injured knee pre- vented another attempt. The final score 7-0 was a blow to fans and team alike. At Fayette the next week Simpson showed a complete reversal of form and won a well deserved victory over the hard playing team of Upper Iowa University. As in the games with the Tutors and Wildcats, the enemy made their points early in the game. The Peacocks received, and by using a well executed triple pass laid the ball behind our goal in the first few minutes of play. Their attempt at goal was a failure. Their aerial attack was soon solved, however, and with our line holding like a stone wall Upper Iowa made no more dangerous gains throughout the remainder of the game. The Simpson forwards tore great holes in the Peacocks’ defense through which McCoy and his running mates made consistent gains. It was all our game except those first few minutes. The ball was in Upper Iowa’s territory through the majority of the game, although only one touchdown was scored. Mer- cer kicked goal for the other point which gave us the victory 7-6. Iowa Wesleyan was next to succumb. With a large crowd of rooters on the field suporting the team, their best was not good enough. Contrary to their usual custom Simpson opened with a spurt, and early in the game nosed over a touchdown. Keeping up a strong attack, the Red and Gold gridders kept the brethren from Wes- leyan worried to the final whistle. Mercer drop-kicked from the forty yard line for three more points in the third quarter. Wesleyan turned what looked like a goose-egg into a 9-6 defeat by a frenzied effort late in the fourth period which netted 'hem a touchdown for their only points of the game. Neither team succeeded in kicking goal for the extra points after the touchdowns. While the final game of the season went to Des Moines University, it really showed the Simpson eleven in a more favorable light than some of the easy victories early in the season. Over-eagerness resulted in a few fumbles in the first half which Des Moines was quick to take advantage of, and by this means scored a touchdown in each of the first two quarters. Although considerably outweighed, our men put up a terrific fight and played their bigger opponents to a standstill. The second half was all ours cn straight football, although the Tigers succeeded in adding three more points to their score by a place kick from the forty yard line. As usual, McCoy starred for Simpson, Mercer, at quarter, handled the team like a veteran. In the line. Meek, Shultz and Smith put up a stubborn fight, while the ends broke up many of the Tigers’ plays. The team worked better as a unit than in any other game of the season. With only two men graduating this spring, and with the addition of some high grade material next fall, Simpson will, without doubt, have one of the strongest teams in the college class in the state.

Patje Eir hly-five na NEAR “$” MEN Iliirvev Allen Zimint-nimn Mahr Hm'cii Hoskins Bramlinll Simpson Bolton No one thing does more to develop a winning football team than good stiff prac- tice. To the above group of men may justly be given a large share of the credit for the great work of the regulars in the games of the 1922 season. It is obviously not possible for every man, who comes out, to make a regular place on the team. It is, then a fine tribute to the determination and pluck of the above men that, although they all realized early in the year that their chances of making a letter were small, every one of them fought the bigger and more experienced first string men to the last down of the last night’s practice, with the double purpose of first, making this year’s team a winner, and second, developing their own muscle and experience so that in future games they, themselves, might feel the thrill of smashing over victories for the Old Red and Gold.

Practice was carried on in the gymnasium until the weather permitted regular out-of-door work. The first meet entered was the Drake Relays. A team composed of Officer, McCoy, Weidman and Burnison ran a good mile against some of the best teams of the country. Cuhsman next took his squad down to Mt. Pleasant to the “Little Five” meet which is entered by teams from Iowa Wesleyan, Penn, Parsons, Central and Simp- son. Here the Red and Gold, in spite of the newness of the majority of the men in the sport, took second place. The feature of the meet was Weidman’s half-mile which he sprinted in 1 :59. This sets a new record in the half for Simpson, and is within three seconds of the state record. Ivan Burnison also ran a pretty quarter, taking an easy first in 51-4-5 seconds, and tying the Simpson record in this event. Sayre ran fine races in both the mile and two mile, taking second in both events. His race in the two mile event is remarkable, considering that he was forced to run only a short time after he had finished a hard mile and against an entirely fresh field. In the Iowa State College Meet at the State Teachers’ College Field at Cedar Falls, Sterling placed fourth in the high hurdles. Burnison third in the quarter, Sayre second in the mile and Weidman second in the half. With all the 1922 letter men back on the squad this spring, and a lot of good new material showing up among the freshmen, the 1923 season already begins to look like a winner.

The de- partment encourages group co-operation, and stresses vigorous games that will develop endurance and effi- ciency. Besides the regular class-work, various contests in apparatus and Indian club work are staged in the course of the year. This work is apart from the sports that are conducted by the Women’s Athletic Association, which, through its governing board of officers, has charge of Hikes, Soccer, Hockey, Frolics, Basketball, Baseball, Track and Tennis. The Women’s Athletic Association was established in Simpson in 1921-22, and is prospering in a very gratifying manner. It is supported by semester mem- bership dues, and by the profits made from concession sales. Women’s Athletic Association funds are used to buy awards. To win an “S” a member must win five hundred points. A sweater requires five hun- dred additional points, or one thousand points in all. A blanket, the highest award given, goes to the girl who wins fifteen hundred points. To be eligible in membership in the Women’s Athletic Association, a girl must earn fifty points each year. Miss Irene Springer, head of the department for the past year, has stimulated much interest in athletic activities, and endeavored to give every girl in school an opportunity for recreation and health-giving exercise. Her delightful personality has done much to make the Physical Education Department popular, and its courses pleasant for Simpson girls. Irene Springer Patjc Ninety-seven v. A. A.

Hikes Manager On the golden fall days and the first warm spring days, swarms of girls leave the campus and walk two, four, eight, or even fifteen miles, keeping up a good speed all of the time. This most beneficial pas- time is indulged in by the majority of the college girls. It is the easiest way to earn 100 points, but as much real good may be derived from this sport as from any other. TRACK Esther Miner . . Track Manager Track is a sport that proves the en- durance and patience of any co-ed. This is proved by the small number of girls who enter the meet in comparison with the many who sign tip for the sport at the be- ginning of the season. Rut those who continue to the end are usually repaid by points of some denomination. Track, of all sports, requires practice and consis- tent work on the part of the individual; there is practically no place for team work in its present organization. Della Mae Steward continues to be the leading light, but with the promising material in the Freshman class, Simpson’s fame should not die for many years in this branch of ath- letics. Page S'inety-nine SOCCER Edna Hamilton . Soccer Manager We don’t play football, we don’t. But we do play its sister game soccer. At the beginning of the season, it is easy for the uninitiated to tell with which ex- tremity the ball is promoted, for a third of our fair ones are carefully, painfully limping across the campus. In this game there is real excitement and competition. For instance, in the tournament, the Juniors and Freshmen clashed twice, play- ing for about three hours, all told. At the end of each game the score stood 0-0. A deadlock? There certainly was! Des- pairing of ever changing the score, the Juniors played the Sophomores, winning by a score of 3-0; then the Freshman team played the Sophomores and tied I'.dxa Hamilton , Soccer Manager them 0-0. To a person of the highest mathematical ability, it is perfectly clear that the Juniors are the champions.

Hockey Manager Rain, sleet, snow—mud! That is the 1922 Hockey season. And since Simpson does not furnish slickers, skiis, galoshes or boots as a part of the hockey parapher- nalia, the final tournament almost had to be dispensed with. But a time was set and the tournament was played off, re- gardless of the weather. As fate would have it, the Freshmen were matched against the Upperclassmen first,—on a muddy field with the odds rather evenly divided. But luck now fled from the Up- perclassmen for the first time so far in the college athletic life of the Juniors on the team. The result of the scrap with clubs was 1-0 in favor of the Freshmen, and the next day the winning team de- feated the Sophomores, 2-0.

Basket Ball Manager Basketball tor years has been the only sport for girls. Even yet the emphasis on it exceeds that on any other. But Simpson is to be commended on her long list of co-ed sports, for this not only makes a variety for the natural athletes, but makes more of a choice for the girls less inclined toward sports. But basket ball is continuing, and probably will con- tinue for many years, to be the first choice of many girls. Simpson’s brand of basket ball is especially good. As it is a very typical team game the players arc taught co-operation as related to the group as well as co-ordination as related to the Christine Greer. Basketball Manager individual.

Real enjoyment may be found in this sport whether one is a be- ginner or a sworn devotee. One can play a hard, fast, whirling game, or she may play an easy, slow, dignified game, according to her particular mood. Any girl can learn, as each season proves. But to be a runner-up in the spring tourna- ment is the height of many girl's desires, ?o that there is much good-natured rivalry at the end. BASEBALL Helen Thompson, Baseball Manager Were you the trusty catcher in your home town corner baseball team? Or were you the unfailing, unfamiable bat- ter? Which ever one, or both or cither, you have by now’ gone through at least your first season of baseball, without doubt. To be sure, you weren’t allowed to use that hard, straight throw- you were so proud of back with the village nine, but you enjoyed the game, nevertheless. The baseball season starts in the spring after good weather is assured, thus allow- ing outdoor playing and enhancing its value to the health of the girls. It is a popular sport, and many girls take part Helen Thompson, Kascball Manager in it. Patjf On,- Hundred Six Page One Hundred Seven Page One Hundred Eight FORENSICS As far back as we may trace the history of Simpson we find that in the field of forensics she has always made a very creditable record. 1922-23 promises to be one of the greatest years of forensic activity in the history of the school. Simpson is sending a debating team to the Pacific coast this year which will meet fifteen of the best colleges and universities in the west. The question to be debated is the national Pi Kappa Delta question, Resolved: That the United States should adopt the Cabinet Parliamentary form of government. This is one of the most extensive debate trips ever planned by any school. Simpson has given her opponents the choice of sides in every case and will defend both sides of the question on the trip. The affirmative team will con- sist of Roscoe Cartwright (c) and Herbert Rauch; the negative of Ros- coe Cartwright (c) and Lyle Stewart. The girls’ question for debate is, Resolved: That the United States government should own and operate the coal mines of the United States. The affirmative team, consisting of Bernice Biown (c), Myrtle Ten- nant and Marguerite Peterson debated Tabor January 19 and lost a very hotly contested decision. They will debate against Central and Parsons soon. The negative team, consisting of Ruth DeLean (c), Georgia Harrold and Frances Ledlic meet Penn college March 16. A debate scheduled with Drake was cancelled by Drake. In the field of oratory Simpson already has proven her superiority this year, Mr. Walter Dillon having won the state oratorical contest. Mr. Dillon has an exceptionally strong oration and Simpson expects him to place well in the National contest. Miss Zoe Braucht represented Simpson in the oratorical field for women. She made a very creditable showing at the state contest.

The storms of the passing winter Have swirled thru their branches bare, The life-saps sleep, in their bosoms deep While they wait spring joys to share. Sadly the maples have witnessed, The fall of their comrades dear, For the ax-man came, their lives to claim, And their proud heads drooped with fear. The stumps tell a pitiful story, Of life once happy and glad, And the students say as they pass that way That their hearts arc oftimes sad. When the gentle breezes of springtime, Rustle their new-born leaves, Shall they think once more of the days of yore, As each for his comrade grieves? When the purple Hush of the morning, Scatters the shadows away, When life springs anew, in morn’s early dew, Shall they miss their comrades in play? Oh youth, who pass beneath them In the morning of life’s great day, As you dream of tomorrow, its gladness and sorrow, And the victories along the way, Remember the silvery maples, From them learn a lesson true, How the friends of to-day, shall pass away, And shall live as memories to you.

This reunion was to have been held on the fiftieth anniversary but due to the war it was postponed five years. Now at the close of over a half century of activity in the field of oratory, debate and par- liamentary practice, the Everetts gathered in the “upper room” of the Administration Building and in the midst of a grand jubilee dedicated-the society to another fifty years of service in Simpson College.

Pink Dawn flushed in the eastern sky While the white rose lingered there— Silently the stars went out Breathing a low, sweet prayer. Dawn came near to the waiting rose, And clasped her to her breast; And on the lips, perfumed and rare. A tender kiss was pressed. The white rose slipped from the garden wall, The kiss on her lips still new, And sought sweet rest with her sisters there In the garden, fragrant with dew. Sunbeams stole from the eastern clime To worship the flower in repose. The flush of the dawn lay on her breast, So they called her the Blushing Rose. L. M. ’26 BLIZZARD IN SPRING Dull white sky, Fine snow sifting down The bare tree-branches toss uneasily, Complaining at the unfairness Of a blizzard in March. But that is all! The rest of the earth is silent, Passive, uncomplaining. Men walk hurriedly, With bowed heads, Buffeted by wind and snow, Disgustedly. Futile snow, I laugh at you. You are the last clutch of a dying Thing! The last rear-guard skirmish of retreating Winter. M. C. L. ’24 ALARM CLOCKS A haunting conscience—the essence of heartlessness—mechanical cold-bloodedness personified—a misfortune of the age of invention—the machine that made Ingcrsoll notorious—these for me spell alarm-clocks! Severe epithets to apply to this necessary evil of our time, you say? Perhaps so, but charitable enough compared to the maledictions which are called down upon it when it functions! Yes, it’s comparatively easy to think about alarm-clocks with an unruffled brow at two o’clock in the afternoon, but to display even an outer in- difference at five-thirty-two in the morning is evidence enough of a well-tempered soul. However, from the outside, at any time alarm clocks are as harmless-looking as one could desire; the diabolical device that does the work has wisely been con- cealed. It becomes unbearably monotonous to hear again and again—“Tell me what you read and I will tell you what you are.” Why not substitute for that a statement equally true and much less trite—‘‘Tell me how you act when your alarm clock goes off, and I will tell you what you are.” The ideal reaction would obviously be one of absolute calm. I use “would” ad- visedly, however, for I can hardly think of one among my acquaintances who pos- sesses such an accomplishment. Still, on second thought, there is one possible ex- ception, for if alarm-clocks defaced dressing tables and desks back in 1670, I have no doubt that friend John Runyan registered exactly the proper attitude of com- placency and submission. Aside from the estimable Mr. Runyan! the only one of my acquaintances who can at all aproach such a state of resignation reaches it only by singing a snatch of song at the first jingle of her alarm clock. Indeed, allow me to recommend such a prac- tice to those whose natural temperament is such that they are warranted in enter- taining even the slightest hope of ever reaching distinction in this line. For those who were less favored when temperaments were passed out, more drastic measures may be required. Some even find it well to have a volume of Emerson’s Essays under their pillows from which they may read a selection to restore their peace of mind. The morning after the night before is the time when one’s alarm-clock is most trying and the discipline received most abundant. It seems then to perform with an unholy glee. At such movements, for the normal individual the first impulse is to get perfectly wild, to scream, to shout, and even perhaps to swear if one by any chance happens to be a man. It is then that one feels most thankful for a know- ledge of the effectiveness of that suggested snatch of song or the extract from Emer- son’s “Compensation.” Otherwise what a perfectly terrible frame of mind with which to start the day! Indeed who knows how many utterly ruined days are checked up against the inventor of the alarm-clock? But after all the pity of the whole matter is that alarm-clocks arc utterly helpless creatures in the hands of those who afterward curse them for what they themselves Pntjf Our Hundred Thirty-five have brought on. It undoubtedly would cause an alarm-clock no more incon- venience to “go oft’' at high noon than at 5:30 A. M. and certainly its chances for a long and useful life would be much more substantial—but no! the hand that sets the lever is the very one which threatens to hurl “the abominable thing” out of sight and hearing! In the last analysis, alarm-clocks arc no more than necessary accompaniments to our age. So long as people will persist in taking delight at having everything happen fifteen minutes before it is too late, so long shall we have with us alarm-clocks. I heard once of one use to which alarm-clocks may be put that might serve to cover a multitude of their sins. It is said that during his college days a certain man who later awoke to find his name listed in “Who’s Who,” used to have himself awakened at five o’clock every morning in order that he might enjoy the luxury of knowing that he had one more hour to sleep. In the possibility of persuading many others to do likewise lies the greatest hope for the alarm-clock to remove the stigma now attached to its fair name. M. E. E. '23 EVENING The ev'ning calm has settled o’er the earth, The silence of the night fills all the air, Resplendent beauties of the day so fair Have gone; the night awaits new birth Of day; the child in happy hours of mirth, The weary toiler with his load of cares, The mother who his tasks and burden shares— Each welcomes the return of night to earth. Why should we tremble tho’ the days be long, Tho’ fraught they be with toil, and cares are rife, The coming of the night will bring a song. In God's own keeping we are safe: the strife Is His. He watches o’er the throng Till Day bring forth a new, eternal Life. K. M. ’23 Page One Hundred Thirty-six SMALL TOWN SATURDAY NIGHTS The Russian has or did have his weekly holiday which, together with vodka proves quite restful after pushing clumsy Russian plows through mucky Russian soil. The Chinese make merry on numerous occasions by shooting fire-crackers, drinking rice wine and chasing the fiowery peacocks on coquettish backs up and down crooked streets. But in this our native land, where spirituous and “invigorating” beverages are mentioned only in whispers, thanks to Bryan, Volstead and “Pussyfoot” Johnson, and where safety first and sanity have reduced the popping of fire-crackers to a fading memory, the casual and uninformed observer would be prone to conclude that Ameri- can holidays consisted of “checkers in the shade” and fire drills. Not so! In the heart of our broad commonwealth, stretching from the billowing Atlantic to the bellowing Pacific we still find the simple country gentleman, suffering acutely from ignorance of modern means and methods of wholesome amusements, yet pre- serving for himself the unholy debauch of spending Saturday evening in town. After a hard week on the cultivator—not eight hours of comfort each day under an electric fan, but ten or twelve hours of sweat producing toil, with a herd of fly- bitten heifers to wrestle about at sunrise and sunset—the farmer and the hired man unhitch the “jacks” as early as six o’clock, and after hurriedly wrestling the heifers, feeding a few hundred hogs, and bedding down the old mares, hastily bolt their sup- per from off the kitchen table. Finishing this light repast of ham, eggs, potatoes, gravy, cherries, biscuits, apple dumplings and coffee, off come the overalls and “Rockfords” and on go the blue serge pants and light brown oxfords and of course the pink arm bands and tie clasp. With a parting swipe at ait obstinate “Cow-lick,” the hired man cranks up the combina- tion limousine and delivery truck much advertised by the prospective purchaser of Muscle Shoals, while the boss hustles out the women folks. Then with a six day harvest of butter and eggs, and a weekly crop of whiskers, the farmer, family and hired man whisk away to the twinkling lights of the Jackson county metropolis. This scene is duplicated throughout the country side; and the roads are a streak of dust from townward bound Saturday-nighters. A few minutes later we find the men in the barber shop three deep, expectorating Climax and Granger Twist into spittoons already overflowing. Two barbers prac- tically stripped to the waist, hoe like mad amid the shrubbery upturned from the reclining chairs. Those next in line already have their collars off and arc stroking their stubble in anticipation of what will prove to be major operation. This Satur- day night shave is a holy rite not to be violated. The rules of the ceremony are in- flexible. No razor must touch the face except the barber’s and his only once a week when the same people meet as stated. They must all be there about the same time, with the last crop reports, a few snappy stories and an ample supply of Climax. No one is allowed to leave the sacred circle until he had passed under a smothering foam and the glittering blade and emerged dewhiskered and bctalcumed. Patje One Hundred Thirty-seven The women folks can be found at the General Store a-tradin’ out the butter and eggs. The sugar, coffee and chicken grit for the following week must all be pur- chased and maybe a few yards of calico for new aprons. Outside, Main Street is thronged with promenaders. In the center is the band stand, from which comes the crash of popular harmony as rendered by the local Thirty-Piece-Silvcr-Cornct-Brass Hand. The platform is surrounded by a swarm of small boys who tear wildly around, playing “tag” and “who’s got it?”. The local theatre is to open after the concert, and offers a three-reel melodrama of the rolling prairies, featuring Tom Mix as a Texas ranger, and an extra special two-reel comedy by the Jack Bennett Bathing Beauties. The house is already sold out to the young men. Along the side walks sit the old timers gossiping of the record crops of eighty-six and the fancy price Jim Brown paid for that span of bays he bought last week. The younger swains line up along the buildings and group in front of the drugstore where they smoke “tailor mades,” guffaw loudly, and indulge in horseplay for the benefit of the rosy cheeked girls, beflounccd and powdered, who sally past in threes and fours, for the admiration of these gentlemen whose efforts they repay with delicious giggles and backward, smiling glances. After the show the girls attach themselves to their best beaux and ride away in Dad’s car for a gaze at the country moon, it never having been seen before. Those males left unattached, whether by choice, circumstance or accident, drop into the drugstore to drink red pop and eat icecream cones, then sneak off to “fade” a few pennies in the “crap game” which rages nightly at the ice house. Dad having survived his shave and bought his Climax, hunts up “Maw and the kids” and drives up “Lizzie” to the store where the young clerk brings them their egg crate full of groceries and bids them good night as they rattle out of town. The hired man usually stays in over Sunday, and can be found strolling with his “sweetie,” or in the game of chance before mentioned. By two o’clock the town has quieted down; all places of business have closed except the barber shop and the cigar store which entertain the last “whiskers” and the group of “wild roistering blades” who arc going to drink some lemon extract and “just raise Cain generally, by heck!” With their uncertain hoots gradually disappearing, the calm summer night closes in peace and quiet over the littered streets, and Saturday night in Jack- son City has been celebrated with all due ceremony befitting a prosperous civic center. Laugh! you scoffers, mock! you sophisticated, cramped, city dwellers, bored to distraction with your paid amusements; you will never know the pleasure and satis- faction afforded your more noble brothers of the soil by the simple festivities of a small town Saturday night. R. S. W. '23 Page One Hundred Thirty-eight CHRISTMAS VACATION AND— Just six and three-quarters hours until I would be home for the Christmas Holi- days! I had had the hours all written down in my note-book for the past week, and had been checking them off with more enthusiasm I am sure, than ever attended the slipping of the beads of a rosary. Even the crowds on the curved walk leading from the Administration Building to the Library were hourly growing thinner. The chapel speeches and announcements could scarcely pierce the blanket of expectation enveloping my mind. Vaguely I heard someone making a short speech discouraging the cutting of the campus. But what could campus-cutting have to do with me? I could not affect the paths; I was walking on air. It seemed just six and three-quarters ages until I was really at home with Father and Mother. The evening was so cold that the porch creaked complainingly as I walked over it, as though the very boards were frozen brittle. Mother shivered slightly as her lips met my cold face. Presently she said, “You’ll want to put the woolen blankets on your bed to-night, daughter. I’ll leave them in your room.” Oh, this was going to be a lovely vacation, next to heaven itself: a warm supper you have helped prepare—a pleasing experience after life at a boarding club—a roar- ing fire in the fireplace, and then as a fitting climax a chance to snuggle up in a warm, woolen blankets! You know how they are, all softy and downy, like an eider duck’s nest. And then you wake up early in the morning to realize that there are no “seven- thirties;” so you yawn, tuck the fluffy blankets more closely around your neck and drift off to slumbcrland on a good imitation of “flow’ry beds of ease.” It was going to be a glorious vacation! Night-time came arid I went up to put the blankets on the bed. With a dexter- ous jerk, and an indulgent smile at the skill of it, I sent the double woolen blankets floating billowingly down upon the bed, corner for corner. Simultaneously, I heard several small thuds and rolling noises on the other side of the bed on the floor, and a faint, strange aroma irritated my nose. I wondered what it was, but hurriedly smoothed out most of the wrinkles—a few wouldn’t hurt—put the other covers on and hurried down-stairs to talk with Father and Mother. Dear people! It was good to talk to them again; they were certainly doing a lot for me. Everyone was good, and the whole world would soon be all right; I was happy, for wasn’t I soon to be sleeping “as snug as a bug in a rug” between my fluffy, woolly blankets? Finally Father yawned, and Mother’s rocker ceased motion, her eyes closed, and her head was nodding gently. I left quietly and prepared for bed; I was pleasantly drowsy, myself. The wind moaned through the tree-tops outside the house. What a night to sleep! On the threshold of my room, I stopped and sniffed questionably. I here it was again. What did I smell? Vague memories of winter coats and caps fleeted across my mind, but I could form no linkage. I entered the room and closed the door, still wondering. The next minute I almost forgot it all as I plunged into Paye One Hundred Thirty-nine my luxurious bed. But help! I was smothering! My nose tingled and my eyes smarted. I could not draw a breath for that awful, enveloping odor; it hung like a London fog around my bed; I imagined it was penetrating my skin. A cry for air came to my lips, but I heroically checked it. There was no use arousing the folks. But the odor remained, torturing my throat and stinging my nostrils when I was finally forced to gasp for breath. Were these fumes sent from the under-world to remind me there could be no heaven on earth? Should I have been more Stoic in my bliss? Tomorrow I would do any penance required, but now—let me sleep. In desperation I ducked my head under the covers to escape this besetting agony, but jerked it out, coughing and gasp- ing. What was it? Gradually, I became conscious of a few hard pellets beneath me. My hand, exploring, found them. They felt like marbles. I held them in the dim light of the moon. There were three, and they were white. With a gleam of recognition, I threw them from me into the farther corner of the room. Mothballs! And Mother had said I would want to put on the blankets. If I ever had, now I wanted them off, and anywhere but here, surrounding me on all sides, making me a prisoner in my own house. If this was a “flow’ry bed of ease” the flow’ry perfumes were certainly distorted. In exhaustion, I dozed off to sleep. My mind was rather intoxicated so that when I closed my eyes visions of monsters came trooping in, each trying to choke me. I suppose each one was a forced breath. With a start I awakened. Could I not sleep? Was I to suffer these agonies all the weary hours of the night? I appealed to the moonlight that came in rather dimly through the window. Ah! Happy thought! I would open all the windows and let the wind blow out the fumes. Shiveringly, I left the bed and threw open the windows to their fullest extent; then slipping cautiously into bed so that I might not stir up this pestering infliction any more than necessary, I arranged the covers down over the offending blankets and ex- tended my head far out into the night air. At last the atmosphere cleared and I slept like a weary child, but I felt like a martyred hero. The next morning I came down stairs, carrying the blankets at arm’s length. In answer to Mother’s wondering glance I glibly explained, rather hoarsely, to be sure, that the Home Economics Department at college taught that beds and covers should be aired frequently. If Mother placed her faith in mothballs, I must do this thing tactfully, I had decided. I saw she was not quite convinced and seemed to be questioning if perhaps a college course might not be too heavy for my native intelli- gence, but I swerved neither to the right hand nor to the left until I had the blankets securely pinned on the clothesline. Rather than repenting of the rash deed, when once again within the house, I solemnly vowed that “as for me and my house,” we might harbor moths, but—no mothballs! M. T. T. ’24 Piuje One Hundred Forty A-WATCH IN’ FER THE SPRING I long to be out on the woodlands A-watchin’ Spring come back, A listenin’ to the birds sing An the taunting wild-goose quack, An’ to hear the creek a chucklin’ To be free from Winter’s hand, An’ to see the grass a-tingin’ Green on the meadowland. An’ down in the mossy fern nooks, All shade and wet with dew, To pluck the dog-tooth violets There where they always grew. To see the first bright crocus A-pccpin’ to the light, An’ to feel the soothin’ breezes An’ the sunshine, warm and bright. The red bird callin’ love notes To his modest, timid mate; The meadow-lark awarblin’ As if his throat would break; The robins and the pee-wces An’ even the noisy thrush An’ the bobolinks a-ncstin’ Down in that pile o’ brush. It sets my heart a-singin’ ’Til it overruns with song An’ I feel so sort o’ fluttery An’ my pulse beats quick and strong. An’ my soul just mounts up higher Like a skylark on the wing— So that’s why I’m a-longin’ To be watchin’ fer the spring. L. M. ’26 THE PRINCESS' TRIUMPH Mrs. Brockton was a strong-minded woman. Everyone said so. Her husband boasted of the fact. She had an opinion upon every subject and a decided one, too. When any question came up in “the club” she was the first to speak and the last to cease. Oh, yes, she had been forced to retrench several times, but as her acquaintances said, it had come hard” and it had taken her some time to recover from the effect of the defeat. Upon one subject she was especially firm. Every woman has a pet hobby; hers was clothes. “Why be a slave to style and follow every freak and whim of fashion? The very idea of letting a few fools decide what we should and should not wear! Men at that—as if they could tell what was suitable for women to put on. She for one would set her own style”—and she did. Her clothes were not selected by merit of any beauty that they might posses, but because of the long service they might render. Upon her little daughter, Mary Ann, she inflicted her hobby. While other little girls wore becoming middy suits and dainty little gowns to school she always ap- peared in a high-collared, drab-colored dress and a blue gingham apron. She was the only be-aproned girl in the fifth grade. Mary Ann was a slim little girl with hig brown eyes that seemed always somewhat wistful. Her reddish-brown hair, which, if given half a chance, would have curled prettily about her face, was plas- tered straight back above her ears and braided into two thick braids tied with dimi- nutive bows of black ribbon. She had nothing of her mother’s strong-mindness, and as Mrs. Brockton often said, “took after her father.” Mr. Brockton was a gentle, kindly man with musical ability and would have made an excellent musician if his wife had not transformed him into a mediocre farmer. Mrs. Brockton was fond of her daugther in her own way, but was careful that she should never suspect it. Mary Ann had a great desire to look like the other little girls at school. She had a horror of appearing different or conspicuous and was painfully conscious of her ugly dresses. She was naturally shy and sensitive to criticism and her unbecoming clothes made her constantly miserable. Her mother little guessed how much anguish of spirit and real pain her daughter suffered when- ever she put on the blue apron. It was half-past eight one bright winter morning and Mrs. Brockton had just finished plastering down Mary Ann’s hair, religiously seeing that not a lock escaped her and was now busy putting up lunch for her to take to school. Mary Ann, while her mother’s back was turned, hastily put on her coat, hoping against hope, that she would fail to see that she had not put on her apron. Mrs. Brockton, however, had the keen faculty possessed by mothers in general of seeing the unseeable, and she ex- claimed : “Mary Ann! Take off that coat this minute and put on your apron. A pretty sight that dress would be by night! You must think new dresses grow on bushes.” “The other girls don’t wear—,” began Mary Ann. Pa ,- Our Hundred Forty-tvjo “Well, what do I care—what the other girls wear! If their mothers want to buy new dresses for them every week, it’s none of my business.” Mary Ann secretly rebelling but knowing it was useless to resist, slowly took off her coat, put on the stiff apron, tied its strings into hard knots rather vindictively, put on her coat and tarn o’ shanter and started off hurriedly only to be stopped again. “My land, do you think it’s summer? Hutton that coat up around your neck and don’t wear your cap on one side of your head at that angle,” her mother ex- claimed, setting the cap straight on her head. “You better put this around your head too,” she added, taking up a nondescript scarf and wrapping it around Mary Ann’s head until she looked like an Egyptian mummy. Now I guess you’ll do. If it wasn’t for me you’d be sick half the time. Goodby! Don’t loiter on the way.” Mary Ann encumbered with many wraps walked to the school house pondering over her many grievances. They were going to have a big play at school in about a week and they were to select the persons for the different parts today. “Oh, if I could only be the princess!” she said to herself. “Miss Albright, the teacher, is going to let the princess wear the beautifulcst dress and her hair is to be fixed Huffy and airy, the way it is in pictures of angels, but I suppose Arabellc’U be the princess, ’cause she’s got yellow curls, a Huffy organdy dress and patent-leather slip- pers. They’ll make me a—a—,” she hesitated, not being able to think of anything bad enough, “a kitchen maid ’cause I’m the only one that’s got an apron and I’m so ugly.” Mary Ann with her keenness of imagination could already see herself as the kitchen maid and Arabelle as the beautiful princess, and was now suffering as keenly as if it had already occurred. However, her spirits soon rose and her thoughts were diverted into other channels. “I tell you, when I get grown my little girl is going to have a red silk dress with gold braid on it. I guess she’ll have seven silk dresses, a different one to wear each day and stockings that you buy in a store (Mary Ann’s mother always knits hers) and an opal ring. Oh, yes, and she’ll have only one apron which she will wear when she plays and it will be all white with lace on.” Here Mary Ann had to cut her imaginings short because she had come in sight of the school house. She worked desperately to untie the hideous scarf that her mother had wound around her head, but it was all to no avail. It had been tied by an ex- perienced hand. Mary Ann almost cried with vexation and vowed that she never would go in with that awful thing on. Just at this minute a group of children came up the hill. Among them she could see Arabelle Sloan and Dan Price, the two last people on earth that she wanted to see at this moment. She started to run but they had seen her. “Oh, look!” one of them laughed. “Look at Mary Ann. She looks like a— Mary Ann without a word rushed into the school room where the teacher kindly relieved her of her headdress. Too wretched for words, she took no part in the Page One Hundred Forty-three merry making before school but hurried to her desk, got out her slate and worked arithmetic problems with desperation. However, she was acutely conscious of what was being said on the other side of the room. “I bet Arabclle’ll be princess. She’s got yellow hair. She looks like one too,” said Dan. “Oh, I don’t know,” giggled Arabcllc, tossing back her curls. “How about your friend Mary Ann? She looked like a princess this morning.” Dan looked over to where Mary Ann with face crimson was furiously working and eyed her critically. “She looks more like Cinderella.” The clanging of the school bell stopped further conversation and the children hur- ried to their places. This morning there was a feeling of excitement in the air and Miss Albright had to resort to all the educational devices that she had learned at the University to keep their attention. Only Mary Ann seemed indifferent to the general excitement and she was hardly natural, Miss Albright thought. There she had been working problems for the last hour without stopping. She looked pale and tired and the animation that was usually in her face when she was busy with her school work was gone. It was here in the class room that Mary Ann was her real self—where her true personality came to light. It was here that she was sure oi herself and felt herself to be on an cquality with the others. All her timidity and self-consciousness would vanish when she was at her school work. And Mary Ann was easily the brightest child in the grade. Her originality and quickness were ever an inspiration to poor Miss Albright who often felt that she was to a large extent wasting her efforts. Miss Albright had announced that at the commencement of the afternoon session she would tell the class her decision as to who should have the principal parts in the play. Finally the closing bell sounded and school was dismissed. Those who stayed at the noon hour gathered in little groups to talk over the pros- pect. Only Mary Ann kept by herself and ate her own lunch in silence. The other girls would often share their lunches with each other and make a picnic out of it, but Mary Ann never accepted any of the invitations to join them; for with her characteristic pride and shyness she was ashamed to let them sec the contents of her lunch basket. It was not that she didn’t have enough. Mrs. Brockton was not sparing in the matter of food, but it was the plainness of her repast. Her mother believed in giving children substantial food only, with none of the dainties. Mary Ann, although unduly sensitive, at times would forget herself and be the life of the group, but those occasions were rare and they never occurred when Ara- belle was present. Arabclle with her beautiful clothes and disdainful superior air had always acted as a dash of cold water upon Mary Ann's spirit. 'I hese lunch hours were agony to her and she heard with relief the bell which marked the begin- ning of the afternoon session. There was a distinct hush in the school room when Page One Hundred Forty-four Miss Albright rose to speak. Arabelle sat complacent and self-confident in her seat and Dan looked straight ahead trying not to appear too self-conscious. The teacher feeling somewhat as if she were facing the court of inquisition began to speak. “Now, children, I know you are very anxious to know who were chosen to re- present the main characters of the play. They were very hard for me to choose, because so many of you would make good princes and princesses, but of course you couldn’t all be chosen. Now before I tell you who they are I want you to promise me you’ll do your best to make this play a success.” Every hand was raised. “For princess I have chosen Mary Ann Brockton and for prince,” continued Miss Albright, pretending not to note the look of blank astonishment on all faces, “Dan Price; for the princess’ attendant, Arabelle Sloan, and for the villain, Dick Grant.” The class rallied from their momentary bewilderment and feebly clapped. Mis; Albright looking at Mary Ann knew that she had not chosen wrongly—she would make a charming princess. At this moment Mary Ann’s eyes were sparkling and her face was filled with animation and happiness. In spite of her clothes she looked altogether lovely. Dan, watching her out of the corner of his eye, decided that she wouldn’t make a half-bad princess after all. That night as Mary Ann trudged happily home a terrible thought struck her. What if her mother wouldn’t let her be the princess? She knew that Mrs. Brock- ton thought plays were silly. When she reached home she was shaking all over with apprehension and white with fear. “Good land, child, your’re shaking all over. It must be getting frightfully cold out. Come over here by the stove and get warm,” exclaimed her mother. “Mother,” said Mary Ann who had not yet discovered the art of tactfully lead- ing up to a subject, “the teacher chose me instead of Arabelle Sloan to be the princess in the play and Arabelle is to be my attendant.” “Is that so?” said Mrs. Brockton in surprise. “That Mrs. Sloan always did take too much for granted. This very day she was bragging about how bright Arabelle was and would no doubt be chosen as the leading character in the play. So you beat her? Well, well, plays don’t amount to much, but I suppose they’re harmless enough.” Mary Ann felt a great load roll off her mind. Her mother was secretly much grati- fied to think that her daughter had a higher place than Arabelle. “That’ll teach her mother to put on such airs,” she thought. She and Mrs. Sloan never got along very well because they both clung tenaciously to their own ideas. At last the day for the play came. Mrs. Brockton found much to her sorrow that she was to have no hand in dressing the princess for the occasion. Miss Albright had seen to that. Mrs. Brockton had actually decided to attend the play herself. “I guess I better see what these plays are like that they rave about, especially since ml daughter is to be in one,” she told her husband. Patje One IIuntired Forty-five i.' The school-house was crowded and Mary Ann’s mother actually found herself getting nervous as she waited for the curtain to rise. Why had she ever let Mary Ann be in the old play any way? It was degrading, that’s what it was. At this moment the curtain rose and she gave a start of surprise. Was that her daughter! It evidently was, but a different Mary Ann from the one she knew. Miss Albright had made the best use of her opportunity. Although the change in outward appearance was remarkable, more remarkable was the change in the little girl herself. All lack of self-confidence, awkwardness and shyness had vanished. She was her own charming self—what she had always been to be sure, but no one had ever realized it except Miss Albright. Every child likes to act a part and Mary Ann was no exception. She carried her part to perfection and a truly charming and happy little princess was she. Her mother’s first impression was only one of wonder, then of admiration grudg- ingly admitted. Next came vexation at herself and daughter. Why had she never seen her daughter in this light before, could it be that she had crushed Mary Ann’s personality: as for clothes, of course it was more fitting that she should appear in common sense, high collared dresses and aprons than be dressed like a society queen. She shook the thoughts off and turned her attention once more to the play. She could not help overhearing, however, the conversation of some ladies back of her. “Who is that lovely little girl?” “O that’s that little Brockton Girl.” “What! can it be possible? That drab little girl who always wears such odd clothes? She must be Cinderella transformed. I should think her mother would take the hint.” Mrs. Brockton turned red with anger. “What fools some women are; I guess their talk will have no effect upon me.” The next morning Mary Ann in her drab dress and apron was Cinderella again. She was her usual self. “Well, how does it seem to get down to earth again?” asked her mother. “Come here and let me comb your hair.” “Mother, may I—I—,” Mary Ann swallowed hard, “May I—fix my hair like Miss Albright showed me how?” “Well I guess,” began her mother intending to offer a fiat refusal, when the vision of the happy face of her daughter as it appeared the previous night came before her, “guess so if you’re so set upon having your hair fly about your face; but for pity’s sake don’t fix yourself up like a wild Indian.” Many Ann’s face lit up and she impulsively kissed her mother. Mrs. Brockton tried in vain not to look pleased then said: “Mary Ann, that apron is getting to look horribly shabby. Take it off. It doesn’t look respectable.” Piuje One Hundred Forty-six SUN ON SNOW All about me is a glare, Even the new brick walls of the Administration Building Glare at me with jaunty newness. Sun on snow, Sun on snow. No rest or comfort for eves, Except in shadows. I rest mine in the shadows, Then tumble joyfully into the dusk Of the hallu ray. M.C.L. ’23 THE GHOST OF THE DORMITORY Mr. Willowby was dead. It was a sad fact, but nevertheless what could fifty girls, all deeply occupied in cramming for semester exams, do about it? They had been called together to give ten cents each for a funeral wreath, and apparently had de- cided to let the matter drop there. It was about eleven o’clock that cold winter night after the funeral. The lights were out and everybody tucked away for the night, so far as the watchful eye of the Dean could detect, when Eunice shook Kathryn to tell her it was Room 13 which Mr. Willowby had endowed. “Room 13? Where’s Room 13?” “Why, it is our room, Goosey. Don’t you know that room thirteen is our room and that Mr. Willowby endowed it?” Kathryn, only half awake, rubbed her eyes and seemed to ponder for a moment. She could see no particular significance in the fact. “Well, what of it?” “Why, he’s dead!” replied Eunice with considerable emphasis. “Of course he’s dead! Did that fact just now filter through your mind?” “Well—only just since I saw that light.” “Light! What light?” “Oh, just a light going across the room; I guess it must have been a reflection or someone going past, outside, carrying a lantern or a flash light.” “Oh!” Both girls snuggled a little farther down under the covtvs. Two o’clock found the girls again faintly stirring. Somehow their hands had found each other and clasped. “Was that a light?” whispered Kathryn. “It looked like a light but I think it was from a car going by.” “I didn’t hear a car.” “Well, I thought I heard one. Maybe it wasn’t—maybe it was only a board creaking. ” “A board creaking?” Page. One Hundred Forty-seven Yes. I didn’t know what it was, I heard something.” “Are you sure you heard something?” “Yes.” “Was it that?” “What was that?” “I think it was the wind.” They listened tensely. C-r-c-a-k, it came again. Before they knew it they were clasping each other tightly around the neck. Kath- ryn tried to scream but her voice stuck in her throat. Eunice’s heart was pounding against her ribs. Slowly, oh, so slowly, the door opened, inch by inch, little by little. Objects were barely visible in the darkened room, but there it was—a hand, an arm, then a shoulder, and finally, a white shrouded form. Two shuddering girls lay trans- fixed with horor, neither daring nor having the power to move, their limbs dead weights—paralyzed. The figure advanced toward them, stepping slowly, each step an eternity, yet com- ing with frightful precision. Nearer it came, faintly in the shadowy light that came through the windows. It came almost to the bedside, then halted, turned, walked slowly to the door and out again. With one accord Kathryn and Eunice sprang from the bed. They were at the door but crouched trembling not able to stand erect and not daring to look out. After hours of waiting, it seemed, Eunice with the fortitude of her pioneer fathers thrust her head through the door and back again. “It’s gone,” she whispered. “Gone?” “Yes, gone.” “Arc you sure?” “Yes, quite sure, unless it’s waiting around the corner.” One minute later, Margaret and Helen, across the hall were suddenly aroused by two frenzied, jabbering creatures. With wild shrieks they raised their voices in terrified surprise. The shrieking was contagious, for Kathryn and Eunice, the dis- turbers, joined the duct and all four created a lively chorus. There was a rush for the door from the outside and girls in all kinds of night, array crowded into the room. The shrieking gradually diminished. “What’s the matter?” came in a chorus from the new arrivals, and then again, “What’s the matter? What is the matter?” “Mr. Willowby!” gasped Kathryn, pointing waveringly in no particular direction. “Mr. Willowby!” faintly echoed Eunice. “Mr. Willowby?” and the girls who had been attracted by the cries looked at one another in amazement. “He—he—he came—in—our room!” Page One Hundred Forty-eight “Girls! What docs all this mean?” They looked up. There was the tall form of the Dean. Instantly all were sobered. “We saw Mr. Willowby! He was in our room,” erplaincd Eunice. “Yes, he opened the door and walked right in,” affirmed Kathryn. “Nonsense! Tell me what you are raising all this disturbance for and then go back to bed,” said the Dean with indignation. “O, but we can’t” cried Kathryn, we can never go into that room again.” “No more nonsense. Girls of your age and in college to imagine you saw a ghost!” “Oh, but Miss Thompson, we did!” eagerly began Kathryn, but she was silenced by a look. Before the terrified girls Miss Thompson walked into the room and switched on the light. Everything was as usual. Miss Thompson, however, had a hard problem to deal with. The two girls, singly and together, refused to step foot into the room. They had always instinc- tively obeyed Miss Thompson, but at last fear of the supernatural was greater than fear of mortal discipline. Finally, seeing that persuasion was in vain, Miss Thompson gave up and allowed the girls to occupy davenports in the parlor for the remainder of the night. By the next evening their fear had somewhat subsided and they were persuaded to retire once more to their accustomed place. In the night yells from Room 13 again rang through the whole dormitory and the scene of the night before was re-enacted, but this time in Room 13 itself. Among the assemblage so informally collected was Gladys Anderson, Mabel Gray’s guest for the week who had been in college the year before. A dazed look was in her eyes and Mabel led her to her room sympa- thetically. The next day Miss Thompson held a long conference with the girls, urging and trying to persuade, but Eunice declared that she would go home to her parents before she would occupy that room another night and Kathryn was stubborn in her purpose never to go in again. Miss Thompson was vexed and unbelieving but was finally con- vinced that she must give in. So she prepared a downstairs room for the girls and solved the problem of the over-filled hall by putting into the haunted room May Lee, the Chinese girl who had only that day arrived direct from China. Someone remonstrated on behalf of the innocent victim, but Miss Thompson still unbelieving, was firm and the line of her lips was straight, a fact which forbade interference. About two o’clock in the night there was a blood-curdling cry from Room 13. All the emotion of the deep mysterious Orient, for centuries repressed, seemed to gather itself and concentrate in that one unearthly sound. Miss Thompson opened her door in time to sec a fleeing figure, pigeon toed, elbows swinging akimbo, long braids trailing behind, and a light of pure terror in slanted, wide open eyes. She Page Ont• Hundred Forty-nine reached out and drew the trembling form in and May Lee fell upon her bed sniff- ling audibly and jibbering in a strange unknown tongue. Miss Thompson, now realizing that something was truly wrong, was sorry. She did what she could to soothe the hysterical May Lee, and she determined to solve the mystery. So followed at a distance by a timid army of girls, she proceeded to the room of horrors. She reached for the door knob and was surprised to find her hand shaking. Cautiously, she opened the door and peered inside. With an exclamation of surprise, she involuntarily dodged back, then looked about her with an embarrassed laugh. Steadying her nerves with an effort, she slowly pushed open the door again and peered in. In the middle of the room stood a white, shrouded figure, ghostly in its appearance. Boldly she snapped on the light, and there stood Gladys Anderson with the dazed appearance of a sleep walker, awaking in the room that had been hers the year before. F.

It is to this spirit (singular) that we reverently dedicate this, our effort. Page One Hundred Eighty THE STAFF Editor.................... Business Manager . Assistant Editor . Class Editor .

Hearst Gregor Mendel William Raimond Baird Igrace Paderewski Amy Lowell Ring Lardner Jack Dempsey Molla Mallory ORDER OF BOOKS Campus Administration Classes Athletics Organizations Local Color FOREWORD and FORWARD In treating a subject of these dimensions, the Nadir has been very careful to select only those phases of student life which arc representative of the very best there is in our contemporary activities. Activities which bring out to the fullest possible ex- tent the range and scope of college honors are the ones that the Nadir has sought to give publicity. Surely, when a student has worked tirelessly toward the accom- plishment of some diabolical piece of work, it would indeed seem to be a mark of rankest ingratitude if his efforts were to be unrewarded. In seeking to serve in the capacity of a purifying influence, the Nadir takes cognizance of the vital and earnest problems and endeavors to treat them in such a way as to picturize the great under- lying principles of Co-education in its remote application of Education. Page One Hundred Iiig ity-onr BOOK I CAMPUS “So this is Simpson.” The Nadir’s Personally Conducted Tour of the Campus “Ladies and gentlemen, the first view one gets of the college as one comes from the business district is inclined to be somewhat disappointing. The ramshackle frame- building at the left is not really the feed stable for upon close investigation you can see written out plainly before you the words ‘The College Hook Store’. They want the place to be recognized for what it actually is so they had to hang out a sign. Even when one gets inside he is in some doubt as to the exact function of the place, since an eager salesman rushes up to you and opens up a conversation on the condition of your soul, upon the probability of snow, upon the joke he just heard, or upon any one of diverse other topics within his scope. After while, he finally inquires as to the desires of his patrons and when one has assured him with tears in one’s eyes that one desires not facial cream, lemon soap, lilac perfume nor A. '1'. O. recognition pins, the clerk goes back into the remote regions and, judging from sounds, falls asleep. The book store is a good business venture though. The last proprietor was married on its pro- ceeds—that is, he looks like the last, although he may not be. A casual visitor always leaves the book store with a dissatisfied feeling—a feeling that would be better under- stood with each successive visit to it,—and, what is more, he leaves it hurriedly with the object in mind, no doubt, of rejecting the temptation of buying all the lovely things he sees. “Before you, ladies and gentlemen, lies the most beautiful spot in southwestern Iowa. The College Bulletin says it’s the most beautiful spot in southwestern Iowa. What? No, southwestern Iowa is not a desert. We shall turn at this corner, and arc now facing the Administration Building. In passing, however, it might be well to ex- plain the place of sights, sounds and smells. That’s Science Hall. It houses a choice assortment of cats, bullfrogs, co-eds, and students. The sound you hear is Prof. Baker scaring his freshman Chemistry Class. No, they don’t make fertilizer there. Have your smelling salts ready while we pass by. “At your immediate left is the Ad. Building. The corner room belongs to Prof. Dcich, and varies from what we just said about the Chem. lab. We won’t go in the building because Prof. Heckart is giving a test and the halls are filled with stretchers. Besides, Shultz is prob- ably leaning against the radiator and we couldn’t get through anyway. To the right is the Chapel. That’s where Len Buchtel pulled his coup d’etat. Chapel is a great institution, not only great but compulsory. Not compulsory to the faculty, but Miss Creek goes because she enjoys the stories. Those boys standing out in front? They are college students. Look at the cut of their hair. We will now journey past the library. It’s called a library but Manifestation thinks it’s a hotel lobby. People Page One Hundred Eighty-two do go there to study though. That’s Johnnie Hillman up there now. Hooks? Who said anything about studying books? No, there isn’t any rule that says boys and girls must alternate about the tables. The fellow carrying the dictionary is ‘Blub’ Young. That’s all the exercise he gets. We arc now passing the girls’ dormitory. What for? Because it’s safest. Miss Stuntz has given up her plan of organizing a militant suffra- gists’ league but the girls arc somewhat inclined to play rough. This is not the main entrance—the fire-escape is in back. Homer lives on the first floor,—that is, he rooms there. That is where he keeps his things. You say you hear a shuffle of feet? Not a bad joke. Must be meal time. The girls have organized. They deal with culprits themselves, and give fifteen paddles to the offender who combs her hair twice in the same day without permission of the house president. The guilty stay in their rooms on bread and water until they receive the divine forgiveness. “The large yellow structure is the gymnasium. Peter Ross, Miss Springer, Coach Cushman, and Prof. Lcicht have offices in this building. Leicht alternates between here and the Science Hall, but judging by time spent, he might as well bring his min- erals over. They have circuses, ball games, revival meetings, and class plays out in those big open spaces. One is always told before he goes in, though, what he is buying his ticket for. The thunder-like noise is made by some flat-footed bird who thinks he can run—probably Joe Meek. The Zenith has offices in the building also. It’s our big rival, but it has failed to grasp the serious strain which any publication must have to be lasting. We must go past the athletic field and view the laurels the ‘Red and Cjold’ sings about. The dump is south of town; that is Simpson’s new cinder track. If you can’t hear what we’re saying, it’s because of the sweet music they arc discoursing at the Con. A good looking building for a slaughter-house? We said that’s the Con. No! No!! No!!! The Conservatory. Yes, right. That is a handsome park over there. It takes such a good picture that the Zenith tries to pass it off as a part of the campus. Oh, yes. We missed the heating plant. The chimney works all right. The smoke you see isn’t coal smoke. And the huge building beside it is the poisoning fac- tory, called the Home Ec. Building. You say you want to see the interior of the heat- ing plant? All right. The tour is over anyway..............” So this is Simpson. BOOK II ADMINISTRATION The following likenesses show better than can anything else the competency of Simpson’s administrative system. Contrary to the general rule, the school is governed by the faculty, and in Book II the Nadir will give a sketch of some of the representative faculty members.

There are two main classes: the Faculty and the People. People is further subdivided into students, rooters, outside activities, M. B. H. waiters, bullsheviki and the Spanish class. The dictionary says that a class is anything that has common characteristics. When we read the definition we didn’t know whether the faculty was a class or not. They have characteristics all right. But they’re not common to anything we know. The students arc the class of people who are studying to be faculty. They get fun- nier, and funnier looking all the time. It will take a long while, though, for most of them to qualify. Raymond Smith almost does, they say. The rooters arc the class that eat at Mary Berry Hall. That is, it sounds like it. That’s what they do mostly—sound. The rooters make the most sound with soup. That’s funny, too, because good soup doesn’t have to be rooted. You can make it come part way up to meet you if you know how. The outside activities class has Prof. Baker for its boss. He does all the reciting for this class—from the chapel platform. Sawyer belonged to this class for awhile, but had to drop it because he had only one activity—that is, one steady one. Margaret isn't steady—for Sawyer. The M. B. H. waiters are a class that is closely related to the rooters. That is, they give them something to root. They are called waiters because they always wait out behind those little swinging doors until the rooters leave so they can go in and root too. They make sound, too, but usually don’t have to have soup to get good results. Now, if you’ll just be a waiter you’ll soon get the rest. The next class that we are going to discuss is the bullsheviki. You can see their pictures on the next page. This class has sub-divisions too. That’s what’s mainly the matter with it. But they all say that they don’t want to be sub-divided any more though. They probably won’t be—that is, any but the bull pup at the bottom of the page. And he may not until the next Y. W. wcinic roast. Wcndal Smith and Therald Stubbs are two of the highest ones in this class. The only one any higher is Peter Ross. He’s hired out to the college by the year. Joe Watson looks higher too, but he isn’t. You can’t hire Joe. At least we’ve never seen him doing anything. The above classes never meet. There was only one class here that ever met. hat was the class that tried to wash the freshmen last fall up by the courthouse. And they only met once. That was with Prcxy. Some say the meet was a draw. Prcxy drew his cane. The class didn’t draw anything though—except maybe their breath, which they did with extreme care. Some thought the Spanish class was having a meet here during the winter, by the way some of the boys dressed. But beef was too high so it had to be postponed. Maybe next year they will get Prof. Dennis to help them, and then they will have their meet. (Time out for dinner.) Paye One Hundred Ninety-five Patje One Hundred Ninety-six BOOK IV ATHLETICS They is two kinds of athletics. Simpson College is a place which has some of both kinds. These two kinds is ordinary athletics and Mexican athletics. I won’t need to explain the last kind as the athletes themselves docs all the explaining, but I wish to note that the home of the Mexicans can be found in the sacred grottos of Pi Kappa Delta, and the smoking parlors of the Homiletics Clubs : of course they is a lot of un- attached athletes running around but it ain’t their fault. The ordinary athletes are to be found wherever there are ordinary athletics. They is a playful lot and is always up to some sort of game such as football. This game flourishes when the ducks fly South, and is closely resembled to mumble-peg. This college has a big bunch of footballs to play with, and they is generous enough to invite the athletes from out of town to come and enjoy the fun. These foreign athletes al- ways break up the party by starting a fight, but when the whistle blows they all knocks off because it is a rule of the footballers’ union. Joe Meek is the most famous foot- ballist we have, as he won’t do nothing that anyone he don’t like wants him to, which is a prime requisite when using it in football. They is one drawback to the game, only eleven men are allowed to play it at one time; this is unfortunate as it won’t let the barber shop gang show their skill, when they is much better than them that is allowed to play. The best footballists have an interchangeable brain; they has one for the field and one for the class room. One day Buddie Hickman got the two sets mixed, and when Prof. Moats asked him what the King of Spain did to the Queen of Denmark, he said that the King gave her a dirty body block and punted her out of the castle, which ain’t quite according to Bancroft. Another athletic game that draws a lot of side bets is basketball. Basketball is a game where you don't have no hunting license to shoot fouls. This college has a bunch of good B. B. athletes, which is also good at poker, as when they travels they always keep five in one suite. The reason that most athletes are keen on basketball is that it gives them an excuse to take a bath. They is some disadvantages to this continuous bathing, however, as one athlete found that after the first night out his shoes were two sizes too big. I ain’t savin’ who it was but you all can guess. The biggest game of the season is the one between the “Fats” and the “Leans”, that is, avcrdupoisedly speaking. “Little” Maggie, figuratively speaking, is the star of the fats. He gets all the baskets, while the rest of the heavy weights attempt to squash the leans by falling on them. If the floor don’t get too slippery from blood and grease the game ends by the death of the referee. Our guard “Jug” Fawcett was a nice boy when he was small, and made doilies and wore pink sunbonnets. Now he is a meat eatin’ race horse; he plays all the games except when he is put out when the referee catches him chewing the ear off some of the enemy. “Bud” Fisher was a good man until the boys put two apple seeds in his Ptuje One Hundred Ninety- bed, now he spends all night diggin’ in the mattress and hollerin’ that somethin’ is eatin’ on him. ’Most everyone around this joint knows all about the game but I suspect that some of the faculty don’t get all the dctales as one day after Prof. Holmes heard that Sterling got six baskets in the last game he tried to borrow one off John to carry his books home in. Tracks is another thing that athletes indulge in. The athletes that take tracks don’t wear no clothes except when they ain’t taking tracks. The best tracksters are red headed as it gives a hot spark on each revolution, as for witness see Ray Weidman, who got his trainin’ chasin’ chickens out of the tomatoes. The best discus throwers are always ex-waiters as throwin’ plates in a beanery develops a championship form. They ain’t many big leaguers in this college but baseball is something that our ath- letes likes to sell tickets for. Baseball is like malaria, it is a fever that comes from being bitten by the baseball bug. Len Buchtcl won a medal from some anti-disease society when they heard that he held the college record for swatting flies. Prcxy had Homer Woods up for smokin’ when he heard that Homer had been hittin’ the pill hard lately. That is the game as played in this college. Ordinarily it is played on the diamond but they play at “onc-old-cat” in the Bug-Lab. The girls in this school are rough. They play all the athletics that the boys do ex- cept football and they would try that if they could wear a head gear and take time out to powder their noses. They also play soccer, shinny, and hikes. Then they plays a combination game of shinny and soccer as I heard one female player holler to another to “sock her on the shin”. Other forms of general athletics that is enjoyed by all is serenading and chapel- dodging. The forms that we don’t have here is dancing, and we would have it if any of the athletes knew how to play it. The directors of athletics at this institution arc Prof. Dennis and Cecil Cushman. They is pretty good at their present places but in the opinion of the writer they ought to trade jobs. If anyone reading these pages wishes to know how to become an athlete see Peter Ross whose picture appears elsewhere in this publication. He will give you a clean towel, which in all cases is the first consid- eration of a good athlete. BOOK V ORGANIZATIONS They used to have school at Simpson. Now they have organizations. The organiza- tions here have all been organized except the barbers’ union. It was organized once too, but it only had three members, and they didn’t get much to do, so after awhile they had to quit. A kind of organization they used to have a great many of here was the literary society. But since Addie and Manifestation joined one of them they got so rough that Page One Hundred Ninety-eight part of them had to be suppressed. It wasn’t their part though. The girls still have literary societies but all they do is entertain the boys at their meetings every Sunday afternoon, so they don’t have to be suppressed. They have two things here at Simpson that they call publications. One is called the “Simp”. That doesn’t refer to the fellow that sells them though. The other publica- tion is called the Zenith, which Captain Hilly says means “high line”. Everybody says that they have one too. Last fall one of the boys got up what he called the Howling Hundred. Their busi- ness at first was to go to prayer meetings and help generate silence during the prayers. But after while their standards were raised and a lot of their members were eliminated. There are just two small groups—one of girls and one of boys—left. They surely can make a noise though. During Easter vacation, people said they could hear them all over the southwestern part of the State. Bernhardt sure is some yell leader! They didn’t make all of the noise though. “Duke”, alias Professor, Harvey runs a nursery over on the northeast corner of the campus. His babies possibly added to the Easter din with their rattles and drums. Somebody said that Len was tooting a horn over there too. The Y. M. and Y. W. were here for a while. Last fall the Y. M. took up a big collection from all the boys in school. Now we don’t hear so much about them. They’ll have their money spent pretty soon though. The Y. W. had a little club that they called the “cabinet”. The members of the cabinet were poor girls who worked their way through college by selling candy. The Homiletics Club is what the student pastors (the “a” short like in cat) belong to. They’re sure a tough bunch. Maybe they’re the guys who put the ice-cream packer on Prexy’s front porch. Anyhow, if they don’t stop giving their Lizzies so much alcohol, they are going to be suppressed too. The Student Volunteer Band is like the Homiletics Club, only different. They aren’t much good now. When they get better, they say some of them arc going to play- in Asia and Africa. Merle used to play a cornet in their band, they say. The most religious organizations on the campus are called fraternities. They are both male and female. They’re just the same except that the female fraternities are sororities. They don’t bother each other any though. A long while ago the females (girls) used to talk to the males (boys) at Sunday School. But now they don’t any more—at Sunday School. The Dean of Women tried to break down all the old tradi- tions here among the boy's and girls on the campus. They say she even tried to get some of them to walk home together from the library. But the fraternities wouldn’t stand for it. There are some new fraternities here now that are kind of tough. 1 hey chew gum and drink coffee. Some of the older ones don’t always drink coffee though. The Commons Club is a thing that’s used to beat up freshmen. At first it was going to be fixed so that everybody in school could have one, but now the boy's down at Lloyd’s have the only one there is in town. They sure beat a bunch of freshmen with it last fall. Pay? On? Hundred Ninety- A unique feature among the organizations on the campus is the W. A. A. It is a sort of trading company, dealing in candy, apples, and sweaters. Only girls can belong to it—girls and women. The girls are all great for activities. They always go in pairs of two or more, so they won’t be hurt by the “$” Club. The “S” Club is just like the W. A. A. except that there arc only boys in it. They’re another bunch that sells apples and candy. They were going to sell peanuts too, but Peter said that he was afraid they would get smeared all over the gym floor—not the “S” Club, the other nuts. Those are all the organizations there are in Simpson now. There used to be one here called the Psychology Class. Hut now, they say, it’s all disorganized. We feel the same way,—that is, we feel disorganized, too. BOOK VI LOCAL COLOR Epitaph to John Scott Horn B. C. Died, April 1st (just before the Zenith went to press). Our Staff was once blessed with a cherub fair; With big blue eyes and a stainless past. He used to write the Zenith jokes— But now lie’s gone; it couldn’t last. The Angel of Death came up to earth. And claimed John for his own. We vainly try to suppress our tears. Because we are left here alone. Now our darling has gone to his reward. We can only wish him well. We bring to his tomb a daisy wreath. And list to the tolling bell. (John carries an asbestos copy of the above.) Anne, a preacher’s kid, filled with ambition, Came to Simpson to gain erudition. But when she came here, She spoiled her career, Now she dates without e’er an omission.

It is not uncommon for con- cerns to lay claim to doing the finest grades of printing, when, in fart, their work belies the statement. Others are able to produce a fine quality of work, but at a prohibitive coSt. The one right end of printing office management is quality. Any shop operation that loses sight of that fundamental is fatally wrong. A printing plant is inefficient if its pro- duct is not as good as it can be made. That does not mean that economy of production comes second. The two muSt run side by side. A manufac- turing institution is defective if it does not provide maximum quality with the greatest economy. Under that rule alone can there be equal justice to producer and consumer which is the moral obligation of business.
