J. ,:' -..- 'zi ' 3 2, fit .Y Editors Foreword , N compiling this annual it has been the primary aim of the staff to make the I l9l 7 Argo the mirror of Westminster. From its depths we have attempted to produce a fair reflection of each and every student, and wherein we have failed if to do this, it has been through mistakes of the head and not of the heart. No regpector of personsn has been the editorial policy and so we do not wish any one to think that he has been made the special butt of raillery. Originality and Progress has been our motto and altho some of the ideas are adaptations, the majority are original. We are not infallible, nor do we make any claims to be. There are mistakes in the book, for it is the product of many workers. The only excuse we can offer is that we have clone our best. Westminster of today is great, but the Westminster of tomorrow will be greater. We, too, catching the spirit of the forward movement, have hitched our Wagon to a star, and have changed somewhat the style and arrangement of the book, not with the idea of eclipsing its mates which have gone before, but rather with the hope of making it worthy of a progressive Westminster. To the class of 1917 and to their friends, to the students and alumni of Westmin- ster, by whom and for whom this book was primarily composed, the following pages of the record of our Class and College is respectfully submitted.

MCELREE, AM., JAMES O, CAMPBELL, D.D., LL.D., Professor Emeritus of Biblical Literature Westminster's list of illustrious sons and daugh- ters would be incomplete without the name of Dr. Ferguson. Ever since the day so many years ago, when he became President of Westminster, he has ever taken an active part and int- erest in the college and has served her in numberless ways. Every student re- members with pleasure his cheerful and kindly greeting as he met him in the halls or on the campus. Professor of Latin Professor lVlcElree is a Westminster A l u m n u s. Qften we think of lVlanie', and Latin as synonymous terms, for he revels in Latin. He comes to his task as to a sport. Although he requires us to read whole volumes of Roman History, besides our other tasks, we believe that his aim is good, and that no Westminster stu- dent 'has a better friend than Mamie lVlcElree. A. M., D.D., Professor of History and Political Science ulaaugh and the world laughs with you. Per- haps that is the secret of Dr. Campbell's popular- ity. But any man who can put life in the dead corpse of the past ought to be popular. Dr. Camp- bell, however, has other claims to distinction, be- sides those of teaching his- tory and economics. He drank a glass of pure whiskey during the Span- ish-American war, and did not yield to the Ford mania until l9l5. 28 J. M, S1-IAFPER, A.lVI., Professor of Mathematics This man was long our puzzle. At first we found him stern, yet always just, then his severity gradually faded away and we came to a fuller understanding of his character. We found a blending of de- termination and good hu- mor. We found a man answering the call of duty, above all we found a friend. We pay him the highest possible tribute,- Hl-le is a manf' 'IT X. os , V AQQSTERCO4 V 1 r e 2 L Q w gm' L 3' 'LMINGTO JOHN A. SHOTT, A.lVI., Professor of Psychology anal Education John Abram Shott, our sombre psychologist, has a sphynx-like aptitude for the secrets of the mental processes, including an un- canny sense of the myste- rious muddle in the gray matter of well-meaning but vacuous reciters. His ge- nius is exhibited by his ability to take a vague un- attractive subject and make it clear and interest- ing. Although intimate with none, he is courteous to all, and the students consider him their sincere friend. JAMES D. BARR, AM., Professor of Creelf Job surely had nothing on Prof. Barr when it comes to patience. l-le is ever sympathetic with the struggling Greek student, often even allowing his class to make a hurried exit through the rear door, while the last gong is ring- ing, before entering the class-room. Besides teach- ing Greek and leading chapel once in a while, Professor Barr fmcls time to conduct the lVlen's Bible Class each Sabbath. Z9 V Y - W. W. TROUP, A.M., R. M. SMITH, PH.D., MRS. R. M. SMITH, Professor of German From the time he pre- sided at our first class meeting until the present day, Prof. Troup. has proved a benison to the class whose chapel ab- sence he records. In the class-room his store of in- formation is invaluable, and his stock of jokes laughable. If you wish to keep in his good graces you have only to get what the book says and then proceed, Professor of English Dr. Smith is conceded by all to be the intellec- tualist of the school. He has a wonderful faculty for seeing all sides of a subject and an ability for presenting all phases clear- ly. These facts make him not only an ideal teacher. but make his courses im- mensely popular with those who desire to culti- vate original thinking, which is, after all, the only real education. A.M., Instructor in English Undoubtedly M r s. Smith is one of our most popular faculty members. She possesses that serene dignity woven with that beautiful womanly grace which we all envy. To the Freshman girls she is the ideal teacherg to the Sophomores she is confi- dant and companion, to the Juniors and Seniors she appeals in the role of chaperon. But to Mrs. Smith, we the class of 'l7 wish luck, love, health, wealth, and happi- ness. 30 H '11 l Y MRS. Aucia MCCLURE, Instructor in Bible In Mrs. McClure we have exemplified the per- son spoken of in the line: Let me live in a house by the side of the road and be a friend to manf, A keen, discriminating mind, a frank, sunny dis- position, combined with quick wit and ready sym- pathy, make Mrs. Mc- Clure an inimitable teacher and friend. . QMSYEROQ ff? t 9' 2 s '75 JI Rr' 4711 ' QS ' 'LMUW Miss C. F. MACLAGGAN, AB., Instructor in French Fortunate was the day for Westminster when Miss Macl..aggan was added to the faculty of its modern language depart- ment. l-ler charming per- sonality and her thorough- ness of work have been an inspiration to students in her subjects ever since. Travel has made her an exceedingly inter- esting teacher. She has that very desirable char- acteristic of a successful teacher, the ability to enter into the pleasures of col- lege life, and for this reason is welcomed in all gatherings of the students. Miss M. E, Mirci-IELL, AB., Librarian A little bundle of in- tense personality, possess- ing a broad knowledge of books, and an extraordi- nary amount of patience with the frailties of stu- dent nature. Few, we believe, of our student body, know the real Miss Mitchell, who is, for the most part, veiled behind a very serious business-like air which only disappears in personal acquaintance aside from business hours. Miss.Mitchell is an ardent promoter of the suffrage movement. '11 :yt . ,, ,, E, v CHAS. FREEMAN, PHD., B. W. BRIDGMAN, A.M., Dean and Professor of Chemistry Dr. Freeman has not only a thorough knowl- edge of his subject but has what is quite as im- portant, an unusual ability for making the most diffi- cult problems of chemis- try wonderfully clear and plain. His impartiality and interest in the welfare of each student, together with his ability to under- stand and appreciate the students' point of view, make him a general favor- ite among the students. Professor of Physics If activity be indicative of doing, the works of man must be truly great. As official Chancellor of the Exchequer, he appre- ciates value and so lives out the ancient maxim, Silence is goldenf' No slave to pedantic pride, he finds time for many things as athletics and politics. He even emulates the horny-handed son of toil and cultivates the soil. To be doing is his pleas- ure. OWEN W. MILLS, A.M., Professor of Biology and Geology The prime business of Prof. Mills is to teach Biology, which duty he discharges faithfully and well. His aim is to teach his subject for the sake of making a better West- minster and a better civ- ilization, as well as for imparting knowledge. His straight forward and di- rect manner and method of teaching has won the hearts of the students, so that his elective classes have become the largest in the school. Q 32 '11 ,fmt-sf, 2, W. W. CAMPBELL, A.M., Director of Music Stern and dignified in bearing, just in his execu- tive duties, and lirm in his support of clean college games, is the worthy head of our Music Department, and the Director of our Athletics. l-lis ability is almost unsurpassed and as a teacher envied everywhere. But to us he is Hpetie Willie our rock of ages against partisan um- pires and a philanthropist in favor of Westminster. Tn 5 .V ,Soil Caffe . g Q., - . 5 me . T- Ae 471, ,xt QMINGTO Miss C. MERCER, A.B., Secretary College of Music Miss Mercer has been very successful as Secre- tary in the College of Music. Two of her hard- est tasks are getting the students in their practice rooms, and keeping them there. ln addition to her many duties as Mr. Camp- bell's Secretary, Miss Me!- cer teaches Harmony. She can always see the funny side of everything, and her kindness to all has won great respect from every student who knows her. Miss N. YANTIS, B.S., Teacher of Pianoforie Perhaps the most popu- lar of our music faculty is Miss Nona Yantis. With a lovable disposition and a charming personality, she has won the hearts of all the pupils. Unexcelled as an instructor, interested in each student, she devotes her entire attention to her chosen work. Miss Yan- tis, we shall never forget you and this is the wish of the class of 'l 7: A path- way crowded with happi- ness. 33 ' A 5- I II II I I I I I I I .

As director, teacher, and singer, his services to us are invaluable. We rec- ognize him most of the year by his geat bulk-an effect produced by his enormous Chinchilla over- coat. At other times we mav see him with his wife in a big Buick roadster, out for a spin. EDWARD F. KURTZ, Instructor in Violin You may hunt the World over but you won't Hnd another person like him. Professor Kurtz is a man who commands re- spect by his pleasing man- ner ancl jolly nature. As a teacher he ranks very high for he knows just how to work with a pupil to advantage.

I FRENCH HEARNE Instructor in Pianoforie Prof. Hearne is a grad- uate of Westminster's Deg partment of Music. Fol- lowing graduation he taught four years in the Department. Since that time he has filled various positions both in college work and on the concert platform. Prof. Hearne is a musical artist of high degree and Westminster is indeed fortunate to have one of her sons come back to instruct the youth of the clay. 4.-K fi-T 34 cl fflfv STU. . 669 RC'oQf , 'J Q 0 M ' Q- ? gl 4- Q 'YQMINGN-oxx' 4 A.

MCLAUGHRY, Instructor of Ari Last year during the absence of Miss Manley, the Art Department was fortunate in securing Mrs. Mills as instructor in Cer- amic decoration. Mrs. Mills' ability as an artist is not confined to water colors alone but includes china painting, and other spheres of art. Although Mrs. Mills taught but a short time, she won the confidence of all her stu- dents and proved herself efficient as an instructor. Dean of Women Miss Knott came to Westminster last Fall, bringing with her new ideas and customs for the Hill- side family. Partial to none, pleasant to all, viva- cious, jolly, full of fun, and sympathetic to those in trouble, she portrays a beautiful Christian 'char- acter. We feel that Miss Knott in future years, wherever she may be, will remain true to the old white and blue. B.S.. Physical Director and ln- slruclor in History Prof. Mcl..aughry is another son of Westmin- ster who is helping his Alma Mater to greater things. A fine athlete himself, he is well fitted for his position. As teacher of history, the Sophomores can testify to his ability. In the class- room at his desk he is known to us as Professor, but among us on the cam- pus, he is still Tuss our famous full-back and friend. rx E. A 35 ,-' - A ' i: M -L'Q-'C E. R. Mosiss, Pi-LB., Miss MARION HOVER, Miss F. A. HUTCHISON, Professor of Public Instructor in Public Director of Ari Speaking Speaking Westminster has a de- partment of oratory and debate equaled by few schools. Her debating team has established splen- did records, due largely to the efforts of Prof. Moses. Prof. Moses is not only an eflicient instructor, but the friend of all his students. His tastes incline to the artistic, as his home is probably the most beauti- ful in town. Anyone de- siring an interesting con- versation mention Junior Orations to the Professor. To Freshmen Miss Hover is a small person who dashes in and out of society halls at regular in- tervals, and scribbles in a little black book. But those of us who lcnow Marion as a fellow classman know her as a true friend, a good sport, and an excellent student, one whom Westminster could not afford to lose. She knows a good thing when she sees it. Although Miss Hutch- inson has been with us less than a year, that time has been sufficient to endear her to all Westminster stu- dents. It never fails to inspire us with wonder that she, who is so effi- cient, can be so patient and encouraging with our dull blunders. She is very well equipped for her work, since she has spent much time abroad, and studied with Chase in Venice, Italy. .9 1 I i 36 v if H Committees of the Faculty Dean Freeman Prof. Bridgman Dean Freeman Prof. MCE.lree Director Campbell Prof. Barr Prof. O.

Vuytffx the hearts of seventy young folk. This was a day for the beginning of new things, a day for energy and action, a day ever to be cherished in the hearts of the seventy. lr was the 3-pi-ra . . . day upon which their college career was to begin. And so they came tloclcin , with various ideas in their heads as to what college might mean. - . g A - I To be sure, at first their minds were chiefly centered upon the joys of college life a-s they had heard them whispered among the upper class men, but after the 'Who's Who, the flurry of excitement passed off in light vapor and they found themselves relentlessly forced to the contemplation of other more serious subjects such as Greek verbs and college algebra. Those who undertook the study o'f English found themselves the victims thereof at once and it was only by dint of valiant struggle that they came out victors at the end of the year. Ye saints! the sufferings we endured at the hands of our well-meaning class-director. On the whole, however, our freshman year was a joyful one and we regretted that it had thus soon to come to an end. Vacation ended, we again assembled. This was the year of great prowess in the field of battle when we subdued all our class enemies and won the Hag-rush and many football and basketball games. But our prestige during these two years was nothing in comparison with that of our Junior yea-r when we lit-erall occu ied the center of the sta e and dis layed our lcnowled e and literary ability . Y R . 3 . . P . . g by expoundmg upon various subjects under the guise of giving Junior Orations. We have reached our Senior year and our life at Westminster will soon be a thing of the paSR. After the usual Commencement festivities and flurry of caps and gowns, we shall be cast out into the wide, wide world, to try our strength in new fields. We look back upon our college career and are glad for its joys and its sorrows, its work and its play. We ha-lf regret that it is so soon to end, but we are looking eagerly toward the future where lies our real opportunity for success. And will we achieve it? To be sure we will. Are we not young and do we not love life? We aie filled with hope and ambition for ourselves, and no less do we desire the continued welfare and prosperity of our Alma Mater. Long may she live to receive us when weary from our toil we desire respite and seek to relax body and soul in happy reunion beneath the trees on the old college campus. Happy have we met, happy have we been, Happy may we part, and happy meet again. 40 I I r f,..7. 1. .1 '45 1,1 su' 1,14- ,7,,. ,M , , 11 A , W-.,, W i5,f.-.'-V, '11 1'Y 'I ,a -I' 5 1 X, -A 5,-. 1 1 W , , lj S7-fl 'gm' ,, 21 '11 A11-1' r F' kwa ' 5+ 1 x-Ax J1, S i N I1 I U 1 W 1 , N 1' 1 if 11 l 1 ll 1 F 1 1 if i K 1 1 1 I4 E I 1 M 1 il' I' l' 11 1 1 11 '1 1 1 51 H Q! 1 1 G! 1 EE 1 W! 1 15 1! fi is Z1 2 I 11 Ig E1 H ., '1 1 X ' 1 4 fi i L! ,L H .I I1 N 1' 1 gi .. fi '1 11 5? ! fi E3 I i 1 1 5 K S!

I . . descended from the Sharpsville, even a casual observer could distinguish each member of r-fl the class of 'l7. We soon announced our desitre to become a part of Westminster and went about the task in a manner amazing to Seniors and Sophomores alike. After looking us over thoroughly, the faculty decided we were just what they needed for their work and immediately made us that most important part of all colleges-the Freshman class. No sooner had we well begun our Freshman Math. and English, than we were me! on all sides by challenges from the class of l9l6. These we feared would be disturbing to our studious habits, but proved to be only a mild form of relaxation. As Freshmen we do not deny that we were green but unlike some green things, we did not have to be snowed under before showing signs of growth, for we were victors in the l9l6-l9l7 Hag-rush, relay race, debate, won the championship in interclass basket ball, and who does not remember how we escaped the vigilant eyes of the girls of 'l6 for an afternoon's frolic in Crawfords woods? ln our Sophomere year we were not quite so successful in interclass conflicts, but defeat nevetr phased us and served to even strengthen class spirit. From the rbeginning, the class of 'l7 have not been imitators. Therefore, the necessity of their giving Junior orations, just because it has been the custom for other classes to do so, never occurred to them. But Ma hint to the wise is sufficient. Moses appearing not as one might expect, from the bullrushes, but from a faculty conference, sa-ved them from destruction. For a month or more the chosen ones withdrew from public life and devoted themselves entirely to the task set before them and at the usual appointed time, appeared one by one on th'e chapel rostrum giving utterance to the most profound wisdom ever exhibited by orators of such tender years. Now if the question should arise as to Where, oh, where are the jolly Juniors? straighlway would come the answer, Sa-fe now in the Senior class. :TM -----sc -. ,--.- -Acc swell --. HELEN ANDERSON New Wilmington, Pa. She was cz scholar, and a ripe and good one. -SI-IAKE. After spending a year at lndiana Normal School, Helen decided to come to Westminster. Her quiet and steadfast purpose and her win- ning disposition has won for her the many friends she has among the students. Widu the faculty, Helen is a favorite because of her keen mind and conscientious effort. No problem is too hard for her, and no sacrifice is too great. Strong convictions and ability to uphold them, are two of her chief characteristics. When Helen has left her Alma Mater she expects to take up her studies of medicine. ln the future when the class of '17 has become famous men and women, we expect to hear of Helen in far off India, healing, teaching, and loving the brothers and sisters of her native land.

After spending two years at the University of Pittsburg, she de- cided that since variety is the spice of life, a change might do her good, and so she looked about for a new College. The fates in some strange manner directed her attention to Westminster. The Junior Class looked fprettzy good to her and we as juniors are glad to have her in our midst. Flor- ence is a very quiet girl, possessing a dry sense of humor. She is not very strong for the other sex, but it is somewhat rumored, however, that she is interested in a Bell fwe don't know whether it is a Liberty Bell or notj.

Not one foeman has she in all our ranks, and her full worth yet waits for the years to unfold. Ruth has a disposition that will stand the Wear, guaranteed not to rust or fade or shrink, with a genial friendliness that must win its way against all odds, a self-forgetful- ness, a 'cheery hopefulness, a Pur- itan conscientiousness in the faith- ful performance of her every duty, be it small or great. With such a temperament, Ruth may confi- dently face the world, successa fully meet its tests and surmount its difficulties. ll ix, it 44 ALTA BIDDLE Pulaski, Penna. Thy modesty is a candle to thy merit.-FIELDING. This shy little maid comes to us from the meadow lands of Mercer County. Early in the morning of every day fexcept when there is a Fairy she may be seen coming to town for the 8:30 class. She comes and goes like a Will-o'-the- Wispg the reason, they say, is that she has given away her heart. From 'her Irish progenitors, this las- sie inherits a generous share of Bud Fisher's ability to see the funny side of life, which even the annual Junior spasm is not quite able to smother. ln spite of her kind and generous nature, however, she likes to swat the fly. Yes, and Alta. has another fault-she clotes on tow-colored hair and greenish- gray eyes for her ubeau-ideal. But overlooking this, she makes a good pal. C-1.ADYs BIGHAM New Wilmington, Pa.

Wise, fair spoken and persua- sive. -SHAKESPEARE If loyal environment explains to us the gentle, sweet disposition of our Kitty Bird, we one and all sing praises to Pulaski, Pa. Kitty Bee Bird, as her name indicates, has communed always with nature, having lived on a farm. This is probably the reason she is so sprightly and graceful-and we might say queenly, as she is used to reigning over her kingdom of barnyard pets. The time came when she realized she must pursue an education further than the Pu- laski schools could afford her, so she bravely but sadly parted with her pet rooster and baby heifers, and came to Westminster. She has illumined our class with her ready wit, her cheerful and Winsome per- sonality, her graceful manner, and above all, her honors as a scholar. 45 1 I-F AMA-.Y Y I Y 1 LEONARD BRA1-IAM New Wilmington, Pa.

Although Brownie is a fine student he does not waste all his time pondering over psychology and biology. Prof. Mills estimates very highly his ability as a debater, especially on the subject of Junior Orations. It has been said that Leonard can concentrate his mind so well that hunger does not disturb him. fWl1y?D When there is anything doin' Brownie is always on the job. Besides being both a student and a social leader he finds several hours per week for ag fAgj practice. Some clay Brownie hopes to be a real agriculturist. I I .ff I , A e e . QI I AMERICA M.

Glad indeed we were to have her, for she has proved to be a loyal kind-hearted friend and jolly companion. Beneath her quiet ex- terior lurk the qualities of a good student. Faint rumors have been heard that she cares little for the opposite sex-except one. Perhaps this accounts for her ability in cook- ing and needlework. Taken all in all, we consider her a very valuable addition to our class. 46 e-:ill V 'I I I l I II l l I I I I I I 'I li I I I I I l l 5, 6 gl I 'VI 7 tl YY fs mp, 2, J JOSEPH O.

This shortcoming does not trouble us half as much as the fact that he only stays about a week before you hear him singing plaint- ively: I want to go back to the farm. Still we notice that he al- ways stays with us. We are glad to claim Joe for a classmate, and we feel sure that when he settles down on his farm and owns a Ford, that you couldn't find a happier man in the country. We surely wish him the best of luck. 1 F 47 I ll be sad for nobody. --BURNS ln the fall of l9l3 Judie came to us from the bushes of Sharpsville. This is not a misfor- tune, however, for she is a worthy member of the class of 'l7. In French, German and Bible, she is numbered among the A-l-is, but Ju- die soon forgets all this as she rushes to the platform ready for a good Ki Yi Blue. At last we have found an ideal l-louse Presi- dent, ever considerate of a girl's tongue. A gentle tap at the door, --a black mark,-Jude gone for- ever more. With girls she's as popular as can be, With boys just a little social bee. Her worl-is are ever of the best , With 'charms unnumbered she is blest. Busy, busy all the while, Scattering here and there a smile. i MARGARET CARNES Sharpsville, Pa. U1 speak in understanding. -SHAKESPEARE Among the many other famous things that The Sharpsvillel' has brought us is Margaret Carnes. She entered College in company with the class of 'l6 but when J. K. left, Margaret becoming dissatisfied with her surround- ings quit school and taught a year. Then deciding that a col- lege diploma is necessary for an all- round minister's wife, she returned and joined us. Margaret took a firm stand in favor of Junior Ora- tions, knowing that such a valuable training must not be overlooked by one who would lead the Ladies' Aid. She is most amiable except when through her strong sisterly -in- stinct she feels called to set upon Julia. Of the many pleasant mem- ories left behind, her smile will be the one ne'er to be forgotten. 7 tl I 5 aw . llll r 0 l m - t irgzanifl fi X 3 A r MARY CAMPBELL Cadiz, Ohio , uShe carries her dainty nose at a maddening angle. -JINGLE BOOK To write up the Campbell Kid for the purpose of introducing her is like posting a notice that there will be chapel Tuesday Morning. Ev- erybody knows it. Altho Mary just came to Westminster this year, most of the students are already as well acquainted with her as with the road to the Post Ofhce. She is not very big, we'll grant, but neither is a pepper-shaker. She can express as much with her eyes as a library can with books, and yet, we wouldnit say that Mary was given to flirting. No, not that! Flirting was given to Mary. Clever at the piano, at parties, or wherever you meet her, you needn't fear meeting a case of blues. We are glad Mary came to Westminster, but we are sorry for quiet little Cadiz since she left there with her pack of pep, which she keeps, Oh! constantly, in easy sneezing distance. 48 I l W--.

She is not one of the Huffy, yellow va- riety, but better still, has brown hair, blue eyes and a captivating smile. Although she is a good stu- dent, she has a healthy love of fun and never lets her work interfere with her pleasure, but seems in some miraculous way to find plenty of time for both. Chick is ever good naturecl, cheerful, a jolly com- panion, and a loyal, enthusiastic classmate. She is always ready to enter into anything that looks in- teresting, and what she goes into, she goes into with a will. One of her most nredominating character- istics is a fondness for I-lash. 49 LEONORA CONWAY New Wilnyington, Pa. A proper lass as one shall see in a Summer Jay. -Sl-IAK Leonore is a resident of New Wilmington which accounts for her peaceful disposition. A loyal member of the Y. P. S. C. E. and the Y. W. C. A., she is a factor for good which 'perhaps accounts for her especial liking for angel food cake. She is always ready to help with a party, a Hag rush, or a class scrap. All through her college career she has played on the Girls' Basket Ball team, where her height gives her an advantage as center. When the large trees obscured her View of the approaching Sharpsville, she promptly seized a saw and trimmed them as well as Totten's linemen could have done. We close thanking the New Wilmington High School for its gift of this Philos- ophy and Bible student, to whom we wish the greatest success. JAMES WALDRON COULTER Pawling, N. Y.

Each succeeding fall has found him on the Sharps- ville Special, speeding to the beck- oning arms of his prospective alma mater. In his sophomore year he began a series of pilgrimages to the Hillside where a Haxen-haired Buckeye maiden still lures his fal- tering but unfailing footsteps. In- cidentally and on the side, Waldron has spent some time poring over approved textbooks. As football manager his characteristic energy and business ability have been in evidence. All in all, the future holds bright prospects for our New York classmate. -. ,- 51- fr-'A-H--'11-W-7 ., . ' ' ' ' ' W' 'Nm'-41 , x v .4 ' 'W i f, 1 1 n I J f .

A rose by any other name might smell as sweet, but if Nan could change her name-, she wouldn't seem natural, for slie is exactly what one would imagine from that good, old-fashioned name Nan-gentle, quiet, and friendly the whole time. We wouldn't dare suggest, however, that she never change her name, for, well, we have all heard of uDoc. So even tho Nan is a public school music stu- dent, we are not inclined seriously to think this will be her life work. EVELYN MCFARLAND New Wilmington, Pa. UThis Flower of patience. -CHAUCER Westminster is indeed fortunate in the possession of a girl of such sterling qualities as is Evelyn, for she is a girl of whom any school can justly be proud. Evelyn joined our class in the Freshmen days, and has been a loyal member ever since. A quiet, unassuming and thorough stu- dent, she allows nothing to stand in the way of her lessons, although she always has time for pleasant and cheering words with her friends. She is ever ready for any fun in sight, and were she in town all the time, would take a more active part' in school festivities. Blessed with this happy, jovial disposition, she truly is deserving of her many friends. '11 a rf?-'N 's In Mui X N MW' l s! 5 L il lt ix . l ,P 'I . tj , x 1 , nl A l l sl ll 1, 55 OLIVER M. LOVE Thompsonville, Conn. My hair is thin, but not with years. -BYRON It was a great day for our class when Love wandered into Chapel and sat down with us. We liked him so well and thought so much of his ability that we immediately secured his services as business man- ager of this book. If in the future you hear of a Dr. Love, you may stop and wonder if that could be Oliver. Then think, if he is bald, the chances are it is. And if he is married, there can be no-doubt of it, Love was a charter member of the class of '16, but dropped o-ut a year to teach. That is why he is with us. Love expects to go to a foreign field as a medical missionary. We wish him the best of success. GEORGIA MCVEY New Wilmington, Pa. Quam quisque novil artem in hac se exerceatf'-JINGLE BOOK January, l9l6, brought to us Georgia from Monmouth College. Already she has gained considerable prestige among us. We may humor the frgshmen by listening to their fairy-tales, w i th ill-concealed amusement we may overlook the newly acquired superiority of the Sophomores, and heed the words of wisdom of the Seniors with due deference either real or assumed, but the Junior class now has one in their midst who speaks from the rich- ness of her experiences and to whom all classes listen open-mouthed. She can tell us many thrilling .tales of her travels during the two years which she spent abroad. But in spite of the fact that she has met many people, there is evidence on her dressing-table that she has not for- gotten the Man from Home.

His preparatory work was taken in the Greenville High School. Clurgy has always taken an active part in all the activities of the school. He shines as well in society as in the classroom. This Annual speaks volumes of praise for him as an ed- itor. In spite of his accomplish- ments, Durrman is very modest and does not push himself to the front. Nevertheless he generally gets there. Heavy also has his faults, for Cupid has him. He and other members of the Y. Nl. C, A. Cabinet also show a tendency toward the Movies whenever chance permits. We are glad to say that with all his accomplish- ments and faults his outlook in life is indeed a bright one. - J MARY INEZ MERCER New Wilmington, Pa. Kept the noiseless tenor of their way. -GRAY. While not literally ' the highest in her class, Inez nevertheless main- tains a rather high position in the figurative sense of the phrase. I-ler black hair, brown eyes, and general ucutenessn have been the undoing of many hearts. However, her con- quests have been purely uninten- tional as her vital interests are fo- cused on the European struggle. She is apparently in favor of the British altho' she is frequently heard to speak disparagingly of the cruel force which tears many a brave hopeful from the arms of loved ones, and subjects them to the mercies of the Germans. However, Inez is not the girl to permit pectoral mat- ters to interfere with intellectual af- fairs, and one would never suspect from her calm appearance that she had any cares whatsoever. -rr 117 NSWYQ 0 mm VM 3 ' t -lu' ' .

Nelse is a ladies' man indeed, and very susceptible to their charms, but that is nothing to his discredit. Hailing from Mechanicstown, Ohio-he well represents his native state. Nelse joined our ranks during our Sophomore year. A member of the Y. M. C. A. Cabinet, Vice Pres- ident of the Y, M. Bible class, and a music student, he fits well into the activities of college life. His vocal powers are much in demand in so- los, duets, and quartettes, and we predict as well as hope for him a successful future in music. Nelse displays skill as well as interest in baseball activities. MARGARET MILLER Sharon, Pa. When the proofs are present, what need is there of words? -OVID Obviously Upinkyu is one of our most popular girls. With the boys she excels as a charming hostess and among the girls she is a dear friend and loving chum. She is a busy whirl in the social world, but nevertheless is a good student, al- ways shining in German and Bible, not to mention Psychology. But the gods were more than generous to Pinky -with all these blessings she possesses beauty and grace, which were strikingly shown in her dance of the Moment lVlusicale last May day. Pinky is a loyal member of the class of. '17, full of fun, and always ready to uphold the honor of old Westminster. To Pinky the class of 'l 7 leave Jim, as well as wishing her health, happi- ness and success. . 'ii' ai ? IT F mm R 'P A5 . E 1, 1 if ir was H E' if i f .

Mary is gifted along many lines, but espec- ially that of making everybody happy. She is chock-full of blar- ney, and is as good an optimist as can be found. She has made 'a record in this school which will never be forgotten. She is a friend to all. As President of the Y. W. C.

He cannot check his girlish blush, His color comes and goes. -JINGLE BooK Rarely, if ever, in the history of our school, can we find a class who has had a real Parisian model. Two years ago we were fortunate enough to have that distinction. Ce- cil spent the early part of his life in Paris, Ill., but later 'came to New Castle where he was graduated from High School in I9I3. The next year he spent at Hiram, but found that Westminster offered more inducements in the way of blondes than Hiram. His fondness for biblical blondesn is shown in his Mary and Martha. From out- ward appearances Cicily may seem bashful, but his ability in ad- ministering doses of SnifHes'i' speaks well for his bashful- ness. We are proud of him as a classmate, and feel sure his place in the world is a big one. '11 W 6177? llllttlv 0 is II3 hm: l 'M . ' at X I D 60 VICTORIA RICE Sharon, Pa.

So successful has she been in this latter accomplish- ment, that when she leaves our historic halls, many a sorrowing swain will sadly sigh and softly sing: Maid of Sharon, ere we part, Give, oh give me, back my heart. ga I iL..Z. - KATHRYN TROUP New Wilmington, Pa. Lei other hours he sei aside for business. H-FIELDING Kitty is a demure little maid, as coy and lovable as her name suggests. With Charlotte and Peg and Jean, she is usually found fry- ing beefsteak or eating dill pickles. In the role of life-saver she has played well, having once actually delivered the bunch from a horrible death by cremation. Not only in this does she excel, but in Greek and in Bible,-all, we know her too well. Dan Cupid has often tried to capture her heart, but so far she has proved, impervious to 'any of his darts. However, some- time, somewhere, in the dim and distant future, the imagination can easily portray her nestled down, contented with luck, love, health, and happiness. And in all that the World brings forth, may its for- tunes ever be generous in blessings to our Kitty 'iT 117 b e , Q Lt t .- X ii x 'fs' 'wg' -.,. F WM. COURTNEY WILSON New Wilmington, Pa. Every why hath a wherefore. -SHAKESPEARE. Courtney is a fine product of the efliciency of the rural home and the little red school house. Fol- lowing the natural order of devel- opment noticeable in his species, he finally entered Westminster College as a subfreshman in the fall of l9l2. From the first sound of the College gong Courtney took the sit- uation seriously, and clenching his two fists,-all he had,-he re- solved to mix some study with the play. Noting that Chemistry and Courtney began and ended alike, he cried I kno-w you ! and proceeded to make good with an A-l-, which thing became a habit. He knows some English, too, and other things. Not needing a College Pony he has been riding a motor- cycle whose familiar chug-'chug leaves a fragrant memory. Court hasn't courted much yet, but Fame and Happiness are coyly waiting.

Having spent a year with the class of I9l6, Betty decided, on the pretense of measles, to take a year's vacation and join the class of I9I 7. Dil- igence is the mistress of success, therefore when appointed art editor Betty directed her steps to the art room and there has worked with a will for a year. No undertaking is too great for her-except perchance it be passing a cow on New Castle street. Betty, whose middle name is Originality,fhas a way decidedly her own. Into every minute o,f her college life she has infused the en- thusiasm of 'her nature and has the enviable faculty of making friends without number.

She came here to study music and as early as her Freshman year, proved to be a bright and shining light, evidenced by her attraction for the Millers. Sc'hmidty as suffragette, athlete, chauffeur, hostess, is one of the most versatile of our classmates. In addition to this she is by nature generous, frank, full of fun, and the very best kind of a friend. Even her roommate has been known to call her good-natured: Although Schmidty's fellow sufferers in Methods class say that she would make an excellent tea'cher of Public School Music, we have reasons of our own for thinking that she will never occupy that po- sition. ggw' A ' T'if'1 t::t:'f1fft- f'T '1' ii 117 '11 tp- 1115 CLYDE E, CURR113 Sharon, Pa.

Chuck full of enterprise and knowledge he is one of the foremost men of Westminster.

We felt very small and in the way, as we sat down in the Freshman section and attempted to lend our young ears to what the President said by way of welcoming us to West- minster, and by way of introduction to each and every member of the dear faculty, as they gazed on us so fondly that day. The next day, bright and early to school we went. After Chapel we were shown to Philo l-lall where one of the Profs. helped us to make out our schedules. We were greatly relieved when the ordeal was over, and felt as though we had been here all our lives until the name of 'fliireshyn reached our ears, this being the way the other members of the school addressed us. We did not, however, consider ourselves insignificant very long. We were hazed against the wishes of Dr. Russell, but yet we showed the Sophs. what we were made of when we overpowered them in the F lag Rush. This beating settled them for a long time. ln the winter term we proved to the class of '17 that our intellectuality was greater than theirs in that we were able to win the Freshman-Sophomore Debate. But not until spring were we molested by the angry mob. At that time we were picnicing on the banks of the old Neshannock, when out of the darkness the sound of cannon and drum was heard. Our brave fellows went forth to battle with the mon- sters of the night, but before we reached them they had slipped out of sight. Again, that Spring the Sophomore girls were taken back quite a little when 66 'VI Q- H -V . 'x 11 fr ,. I , N -YH- ' 1 ,N H U H ii E1 M., .V .- 1... ,..W,W,.. .... ...., . ,, ,, li I Qs a U F? E.

And still again the Sophs were greatly overcome when we came out victorious in the Tug-of-war. With basket ball and baseball over, we turned our thoughts on exams. Oh! those awful affairs that come twice a year! We took our exams, and set out for home filled with happy thoughts of pleasure in the three months of vacation, and of the joy of hazing in the fall. After a pleasant summer spent at our homes, we of 1918 returned to the dear old school in New Wilmington to continue our studies, to renew old acquaintances, and to make new ones among the Freshies. At first our time was 'well taken up with the novelty of hazing and that job we did to 5' vi, ' A g . .W up u u --,. ,M -emma FL ' Spa m Il Hastings, Neal, Douthett, lVlcNaugher, Britt, Randolph, Cummings Swan, F.

We were victorious in all things except the F lag Rush, but clue to a superfluity of Freshmen, and an over abundance of grease on the pole, we were unable to get the flag. Soon we settled down to routine of lessons. Football practice began, the games were played, Thanksgiving came and went, soon tests began and then-home. , .

All ggi' the citizens of New Wilmington were gladdened by the Winsome, beaming faces of the Freshman girls, and the fresh, young phizzes of the boys. Our Freshman girls are all so attractive that the upperclassmen showered attentions upon them continuously. But it soon became evident that many of the girls preferred the boys of their own class to the upper- classmen. September l5, l9l5, to October-We saw fand feltb, so actuated by a spirit of revenge, probably, a band of upperclassmen take seven Freshman rivals from their beds and persecute them as the Romans did the Christians of old. But they came back. Yes, sir! Appreciating the consideration of the upperclassmen in allowing us to have as our class color, the beautiful, clean, color, green, we thought said color plentifully and artistically applied to our little village would beautify it greatly. Consequently the residents of the town soon were surprised to see all the vacant buildings and sidewalks decorated. Not long after this occurrence, the boys appeared one morning wearing green caps, and shoes mottled with greeng the girls having green arm bands and green coats. We loved our color so well that we made a green Hag and decided to hoist it over the football field. The night before the flag-raising we had some Hhairfraisingn experiences. The girls were all locked in their rooms and the boys met the Sophs in deadly conflict. We had an opportunity of capturing seven Sophs at one time but we broke in 70 , ' 'H ,.--If' '- 'M 'lf ' -viz w Q.. 1, ' 1 U ,, 1, U ,J 4 I 'X X 1, 15 'r vk V il n , X1 il ,I N ,I il , E1 re U if ,EL il , 1 .

Naturally, with the courtesy for which we are noted, we withdrew and allowed them to slumber unmolested. But they, showing an unchristian attitude, gathered up a posse and hunted us out of our lair. Then we had a dreadful fight, but most of the fellows retired from the scene of battle in order to save their strength for the morning. Those who remained to cover their retreat were captured and bound to pil- lars on the Hillside porch. But since the Freshman and Sophomore girls made too much noise for us, as soon as we could politely do so, we left. October, l9l5-We conquered.

A. in the college and the good it can accomplish in college circles, there is no question. lts value also in aiding the traveling student to procure advantages in strange towns is everywhere recognized. This latter, however, is a minor part of its real uerveice. lts main purpose is to uphold and promote Christ and Christian ideals among the students. This has been the aim of the Y. M. C. A. this year headed by President Jamison and his cabinet. They have attempted with heart and soul to raise the standards of student lifeg they have been active in promoting the interests of Westminster in every way possihleg and xabove all they have tried to bring Christ before the students more and more as the one example and as the Saviour of men. 82 M33 l 777 -?

The Young Women's Christian Association, as a part of a great world movement, aims to bring every girl into close relationship with Jesus Christ. Many cliflicult phases of worlc are catrried on by committees. Last summer four girls were sent to the summer Conference at Eagles Mere, and in the fall a large number attended the Missionary Conference at Grove City. The students contribute to a fund which goes toward the support of Dr. Martin of India, and join in Voluntary Mission Study Classes. Social life is cultiva-led by several affairs during the year and the Annual Bazaar at Christmas. The Tuesday evening meetings are, however, the most important part of the Association. Here prayer, Bible Study and testimony help every girl to l-:now Christ, and have life more abundant. 83 t IIN if! gl ,f e--cc,,cy tl, lil? ,cw c mv-, W X, W, ,,,-,T --:,,,:,Qffe1 ,eff ,, 3 - , :gsiwf .

And still we feel that far from having reached our goal, we rightly hope that there are many others of Westminster's two hundred students who will yet hear and answer the great challenge to foreign service. Some source of inspiration to us this year have been our weelcly meetings, the cheering visits of Miss Maud Kelsey, traveling Secretary of the Student Volunteer Movement, and notably, the student Volunteer Conference at Grove City, which several of our members attencled. The contact there with enthusiastic missionaries, the association with student volunteers from other institutions, the informal genera-l conference, were some of the influences which tended to give us a new sense of our great privilege and responsibility as members of the nation-wide organization of Student Volunteers for foreign missions. wif Mix rw V 84 3, J f ' ' ,X I VF L H 'igqisi ln., E -QF' Q'-. il5vf..,, Ns ,n Q -.-N QQ? a nim . , .

Owing to the trips it is a valuable asset to the institution as an attraction for students. For a long time the first tenor was a puzzle to Prof. Howard, but with his assistance all difficulties were overcome and Messrs. Shields, Buckley and Smith carried the melody in A No. I style. Mr. Nelscn starred in the obligato of the Song of the Toreodorf' With his colleagues, Messrs. Ash- Brook, Miller and Robertson, the second tenor was wanting for nothing. The several baritone solos were ably handled by Messrs. Douthett, 'Mercer, Ferguson, and Wallace. Ar all times this quartet made its presence felt. Whatever was lacking in 'quality was made up in quantity by Messrs. Min- teer, Lash, Mclsaughry and Schenck, who were always present in the time of need. A combination of such qualities could produce nothing but a first class Glee Club. As well as the Chorus work, the several quartet selections by Messrs. Howard, Nelson, Douthell and Minteer were well rendered and received. Mr. Douthett will miss his calling if he chooses any other life worlc but the stage, for his readings were out of the ordinary. To the untiring efforts of Prof. Howard, director, Mr. Minteer, manager, and Miss Hunter, pianist, goes much of the credit for our success. i86 Q S l l ,-liizlgil' zuff '7 7 , 7, 1 , tt gnc' TJi,if , W '1. 1 ,-f l The Girls, Glee Club The Girls' Glee Club has not yet reached its second mile-stone, but its reputation is spreading tar and wide.

Charlisa altho graduating last year, came back to us and with efficiency accompanies our singing. The first of the year has been given over to preparing an entirely new programme far surpassing that of last year. We include in our programme such composers as Schubert, Schumann, Rubinstein, Strauss and Brahms. Miss Marion Hoover, assistant in the Public Speaking Department, who so cleverly read for us last year, will again go with us this year. Our trips are yet in the future, but not the dim future-a trip is being planned for the second week in 'March, when we will go to Pittsburgh and up the Allegheny River. 87 YYY, W, r -'1 S'1 , i , ,,,,,m,,,,,-,,, ,W M,-...iii -- ----- -- +--v-- ---7---'R v F Y fvf--Y-Q A 4.1555 X , ,J I S dd I 5: Q .

When one considers the fact that our quartet last summer gave seventy concerts, appearing before from seven to twelve thousand people, such an assertion takes on more meaning. Further- more these ten thousand people, most of whom were United Presbyterians, were presented squarely with the advantages and the opportunities of Westminster College as well as with the demands which as a college we make upon the church. When these points were backed up by an hour of entertaining talk and song, one can easily imagine what a good start has been made in bringing the'needs of the college before the church in a community where the quartet has appeared. Wherever we sang this summer we found the most hearty welcome. This was due much to the untiring efforts and energy of Prof. Troup who dated the quartet for the summer, and to him we give more credit than to any other for the success of the summer's work from whatever viewpoint one may take. The tour commenced at Pulaski on the Friday night after Commencement. Our manager was a little fearful lest with the little practice which we had had we should not do the college justice before a select audience. So he experimented on the patience of Pulaski, who a short time before had driven the l-ligh School actors and actresses out of town at the point of ripe fruit, animal as well as vegetable. The large audience present was captivated and under the most favorable auspices the campaign was launched. It was about this time that we had reason to thank Henry Ford for the popularity of his car. We had ordered a car but it failed to come and as a result we stepped into high finance and bought a Studebaker. From this on our summer was a long series of-of course you will expect that it was one joy ride after another. All that glitters is not gold. At any rate while we were not blind to the unusual advantages, do not fail to remember, gentle reader, that singing seventy times in succession with only three or fo-ur days' rest is not as much of a snap as might be expected. The pessimist must get in a word somehow, and having let him have his say, we will dismiss him finally. We had a royal reception in Pittsburg and vicinity and for three or four weeks toughened our lungs in her smoky zephyrs. Then we started our radiator toward New York state in earnest. We stopped several times on the way and in Youngstown we changed PRESIDENT of one of Americafs small colleges .has been. quoted as saying . . , . . . . .ai 1 I 90 4 ,' qw- ,pi 1, , 1 new y,, - -7-- 'nfN 'Wg R55 Wegtminster Quartette p rx L 91 Y a s-,c,..--ak---c trains, trading our four for a Usixf' From there on we traveled in style. We were deathly careful. One drove while the other three bossed or cussed under their breath. We all had a chance to get scorched at the wheel, or stall the engine or mesh the gears but we were very fortunate. Only once did we slip into the ditch o-n a wet day. We never had a puncture in 4,000 miles. Our engine behaved badly only once, and tho' we often did have to spend five or six cents to drive around over town and find the cheapest place to buy a couple of gallons of gas, we rarely had to worry while we were at the helm. We could tell of fine roads, brick, macadam, and mud. Of hills up and down, of long stretches of asphalt roads where we could have made sixty miles per, only some: one else was driving, of scenery unsurpassed in the world, of trips commencing at dawn and ending at night, of a record run of 260 miles in one dayg of good things to eat, of games of ball, and exciting bouts of croquetg of losing Prof. Troup and finding him and what not! But the limitation of time and space will not permit a des'cription of Ticonderoga, Champlain, Lake George, the Adirondacks, the Catskills, the St. Law- rence River, and the Ashokan Reservoir. We hope, however, that every reader of this may see all these wondersg no description can give them to him. Nor could we close without a word of thanks and appreciation to alumni, students and friends of the college who entertained, advertised, and in many other ways, made the summer a success. Our entire hope is that we have made Westminster a more vital part of the church. 92 fi Wim Cx fy ew 1 has t M A ff '00 is at 0 , X x' .

Our orator of the contest which was held at Thiel, I9I5, was Mr. Walter Braham, who spoke on the subject HThe Dragon Awaken Despite the fact that he had had no training under Prof. Moses, on account of his temporary absence. from college in teaching school, he was awarded second place by the judges. Mr. Braham's production was an excellently written piece of intelligible English and deserved the recognition that was given it. Qur contestant in the Tri-State Contest for 1916 will be Mr. William I. Grundish. Mr. Grundish is a direct and forceful speaker, one who, the students feel, will ably uphold the 'honor of old Westminster. .,,, ,,,7,,,, ,,Y V - ,,,,?,,-,,4.,....-., 'IT unior Orations u.

'Twas the fourth of February, l9l6, Well we remember the wintry scene, The snow did fall, the wind blew a gale, But in spite of all, the people did not fail To pack the chapel by eight o'clock. The folks came from far and near, It seemed the Seminary were all here, And the cases came in one by one, How the rest did clap fusome grapes by gumj And make them all blush red. But my Muse is gone beyond recall And so I'll stop before I fall And tell you the rest in prose. While Twelfth Night is not as well known as some of the other of Shakespeare's plays, yet it is one of the most popular of his comedies. As Shakespeare always has two or three love affairs running along together, so it is in Twelfth Night. We have Malvolio and the Duke, both in love with Olivia, but Olivia loves Sebastian, Maria loves Sir Toby Belch. But perhaps the parts that make it most interesting are the drunk scenes and those in which Sir Toby, Sir Andrew, and the Clown, and Maria plot a trick on Malvolio. The characters were well suited to their parts. Charles McQuiston as Malvolio was exceptionally good. How he strutted across the stage and uttered those much quoted words: Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon themf' And then those yellow stockings! William Grundish as Clown was very good. I-le gave us the true conception of the way the clowns in time of Shakespeare acted. Maria, one of the most difficult parts, was certainly well taken by Elizabeth W'hitmarsh. Miss Whitmarsh caught the true spirit of the part and carried it out throughout the play. The Duke, Leonard Brahamg Olivia, Agnes Burton and Elizabeth Longg Sir Andrew Agueceeck, Wilham Douthettg and Sir Toby Belch, Don Igo deserve especial mention although all the parts were taken so well it is difficult to tell who really were the stars. ,- 1 The rest of the cast follows: DeWitt Phipps, Roy Lash, Ralph Bell, Martha Vincent, and Margaret Carnes. The fact that this play was one of the greatest successes ever given here, is clue largely to the untiring efforts of the Coach, Prof. Moses. The costumes also added greatly to the effects, they being the same as those used by a stock company in Pitts- burg, not long since. 99 f - f---- --M .H ' rfhg- - ,-5 Q 5 FAC.

In so far as that goes they might be called -ka f l fo hen the minorit vote is alwa s the same it is enerall con- success u r w y y , g y , ceded that they are right and that the opinion of the majority is biased. Be that as it may, however, the representatives of our college handled the question like senators as someone expressed it, and if they didn't get the decision they have the consciousness of putting up a fair and square fight. Four debates were held last year, two at home and two away. Geneva and W. 8: met our teams here, while the debates with State and Pitt were held at the respective places. The question was: 6'Resolved, that the United States should abandon the Monroe Doctrine. Ralph Patterson, Lawrence Stewart and D. I-l. Mc- Quiston were the negative debaters and upheld that side of the question with Pitt and W. c'Sz Wm. Grundish, Walter Braham, and Frank Orr were the affirmative debaters and upheld that side against Geneva and State. The prospects for this debating season are bright. Altho we have lost Braham and lVlcQuiston by graduation, both of whom had considerable experience in debating, we still have Grundish, Patton and Jewell, experienced men around whom to build a winning team. Grundish is recognized as one of the most brilliant college debaters in western Pennsylvania. In refutation he is almost without an equal. Some new men too have entered the list who show marked capabilities in argumentation. The successful contestants for the teams this year are as follows: Alderman, Kirkbride, Phipps, Britt, Ashbrook, lVlcGeoch, Lostetter and Gilfillan. Out of these men together with Grundish, gatton, Jewell and Ferguson, three teams will be chosen to debate Pitt, Geneva and tate. The question for debate this year is: Resolved, that an international police force 102 ' : 7 Q should be established to enforce international treaties and agreements and to preserve peacef' The question is a vital one at the present time, and should occasion good debates. Two Westminster teams will be chosen to uphold the negative against Pitt and State and one to uphold the afhrmative against Geneva. The entire squad are receiving instruction daily under Prof. Moses and should Hnd themselves at the time well drilled and well informed upon all necessary points. We feel that Westminster' will be well represented in all contests, and that honor should be bestowed upon those who have taken it upon themselves to represent our college in this field.

It is a fact, however, that the girls have taken to the new movement with a will, and under the splendid directorship of Prof. Moses, bid fair to out-debate the boys. The question for debate is the same as the men will use- Resolved that an inter- national police force should be established to enforce international treaties and agree- ments and to preserve peace. Two debates will be held, one with Pitt in which West- minster will probably uphold the negative and one with Geneva in which she will uphold the affirmative. The respective teams will be selected from the following persons, who were successful contestants in the preliminaries: Misses Lytle, Toy, Little, Speer, Keast, Sloane, Walker and Shaw. 103 r n i I I 1 1 1 I ru l I i i t i. - AA- -1 T-56A-an Y-F 'z l r l il il li l l li ll ll l l l l l ,, lx 1 MCGEOCH N Bmrr Asi-:BROOK 3 Som-ioMoRE TEAM l 1 14 Freshman SOpl'1OfI1OfC Debate l On the cold, rainy evening of Wednesday, January the twelfth, l9l6, many 4 excited Freshmen and loyal Sophomores, as well as the majority of upperclassmen and li a few townspeople, awaited anxiously in the old college 'chapel the Freshman-Sophomore Q Debate. The Sophomores upheld the aH:1rmative of the question, Resolved that the ll United States should prohibit the exportation of war materials to the belligerent coun- Q tries, while the Freshmen argued the negative side. The gist of the arguments of the Sophs was lirst, that it would not be unpeutral ig for the United States to prohibit the exportation of war materials to the belligerent li nationsg second, that this prohibition would economically benefit the United States, and 1 third, that it would be advantageous to prohibit the shipment of war materials to the belligerent nations, for the present prosperity caused by the war is only temporary, while l I 104 TAYLOR RICHARDS LOSTETTER FRESHMAN TEAM the Freshmen maintained that the United States should not prohibit the exportation of war materials to belligerent nations, for first, this prohibition would cut off the source of our present prosperity and endanger labor conditionsg second, that the shipping of war materials is in accordance with the customs, conventions, and agreements of nationsg third, that the prohibition of shipment would be unneutral. John lVl'cGeoch, William Britt and Wm. Ashbrook struggled to add this year's debate to their last year's victory over the present Juniors, while the Freshmen debaters, Earl Lostetter, Clifford Richards and James Taylor, endeavored to add the winning of debate to their class achievements. The Sophs presented good sound judgment in their arguments, but the Freshmen scored one over them by some witty statements made by Lostetter. After several minutes of anxious waiting, the decision of the judges was given in favor of the negative. This debate aroused Westminster to such an extent that there were quite a few boys and girls entered the preliminaries for Varsity debating. 105 M 1' 11 ' i 11 ' 1 1 1 ' V 11 A 1 1 1. 1 '1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 11 11 11 1 1 11 '1 11 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 11 ' 1 11 1 11 1 1 1 1 1 . ,1 1 1 1 1 1 I 11 11 1 1 .1 3 21 1: 1 U1 11 11 21 1 ,1 fi 1 1 .3 W 1 I! 1 1 1 -1 11 1 . 1 1 1 17 11 1 QQ 11 T1 1 11 111 12 31 1: .1 ' :1 , .1 11 31 1 1 . 1 . 1 1 106 r 1 I 10s . fl 'l il '37 Modern Language 5 ER DEUTSCH-IE VEREIN and Le Cercle Francais are the modern language clubs of Westminster, and were organized to Ll stimulate an interest in and enlarge the knowledge of the German and French languages. They have their respective flowers and colors, the national emblems of the two countries, and mottoes which interpreted mean, ul-low Do You Say That in German,-or Frenchfi Formerly, membership in these societies was compulsory for those stu- dents enrolled in the modern language departments above the first year classes. This year, however, Der Deutsche Verein is composed only of those students who desire to belong and to take part in the programs. Very enthusiastic meetings are held and a good working knowledge of German obtained there. The programs consist mainly of songs, recitations, essays and debates. It must be acknowledged that the participants in debate never become so enthused in their rebuttals that they tear their hair and administer biting sar- casm to their opponents, but at any rate they learn to sprechen deutsch. At the meeting held January, l9l6, Rev. W. C. Miller, Pastor of the German Lutheran Church of New Castle addressed the club on current topics of interest. Rev. Miller spoke in German and so well selected was his vocabulary that the club thoroughly enjoyed his entire talk. Le Cercle Francais still has compulsory membership. Like the German society, it meets on alternate Tuesday evenings from 7:l5 until 8:l5. The chief element in the programs this year has been the plays pre- sented by various members under the excellent instruction of Mile. Mac- Laggan. It is encouraging, too, that the spectators nearly always laugh at the right time. Plans are being made to have short talks and lectures by Miss lVlacl.aggan, Miss Hutchison and Miss Knott on interesting subjects concerning France, such as French art, culture and geography. On the whole, these clubs furnish much benefit to their members, and greatly supplement the work of the class-room.

Fifteen men competed for places. The question was Resolved, that an international police force should be established to enforce international treaties and agreements, and to preserve peace. The judges ehose the fol- lowing men: Alderman 'l6. Kirk- bride '17, Phipps '17, Britt '18, Ashbrook '18, McGeoch 'l8. Los- tetter '19 and Gillfillan '19 for po- sitions on the teams. The contest yesterday was the best in the history of the school. All of the contestants were well- prepared, and presented consis- tant arguments defending their side of the question. The task ol the judges was very difficult. but was ably taken care of by Dean Freeman, Dr, J. O. Campbell, and Dr. Robert M. Smith Prol. E. R. Moses acted as chairman of the meeting. The eight men chosen, together with Gundish '16, Patton '16, Jewell '16, and Ferguson '18, will make up the varsity teams. Patton, Grundish, and Jewell have had enough previous experience to justify their choice. Patton de- bated against Pitt two years ago and acted as alternate Inst year. Jewell was an alternate on one of last year's teams. Grundish has had three years experience having debated agz-1in5tPlll, Penn State, Geneva and Grove City. Five debates have been arrang- ed for this year. The tJoy's team will meet Pitt. State. and Geneva. and the girls will meet Geneva' and Pitt. The preliminary contest lor the girls' debating team will he held in Adelphic Hall next Tuesday afternoon. Sending Delegates The Y. M.

JUNIOR PARTY Thursday morning the presi- dent of thc Junior class passed around notices declaring a jubilee to be held on Friday from 9:00 to 11:00 p. m., the closing night of .lunior oralions: at the home of Miss Inez Mercer. The banquet was under the auspicies of the Junior class although invitations were extended to all who had giv- en oraticns. There 'were thirty- fourpreseutincludingtwo Seniors. A very delightful evening was spent. One very notable fact which should be mentioned was the eagerness of the 'ladies to take advantage of Leap Year for there were at least two ladies to each gentleman present. Miss Mercer is to be congratulated upon her success as a hostess.

A successful annual is, too, a very significant aid to the College in a direct way thru advertising and bringing to the mind of the prospective student a view of that part of college life not found in texts books. The ARGO, Westminster's annual, was first launched by the Senior Class of l904. After a tumultous voyage it came successfully into port with a splendid cargo. The next year the Senior Class attempted to put out to sea but becoming frightened by the angry waves and the roaring main, dropped back to harbor. The Junior Class of that year being more courageous manned the ship and after successfully over-riding the dangers of the deep, landed with a prize worthy of the efforts of any good 'crew. Since then each Junior Class has followed their example, striving always to improve the book, thus to keep in step with the spirit of a progressive Westminster. In this way they have been to a large extent successful, and its appearance at present is one of the main features of the year at Westminster. The l-lolcad HE first issue of the Holcad was distributed twenty-eight years ago. During H5255 the first three years of its existence it was published as a semi-monthly magazine. Then in view of present conditions a fatal step was taken-a backward step rather than a forward step in that the paper was changed from a semi-monthly to a monthly publication. The mistake was soon realized, however, for the monthly paper failed to interest the alumni and to receive the support of the student body. To be successful the college paper must be of such a character as to bring together the undergraduate world of the school, the alumni, and the circle of friends of the college into harmonious co-operation. It must be fearless and fair in its passing criticism upon all questions and problems, and thereby act as a promoter of harmonious action among the faculty and students. And then above all it must be prompt and be able to publish the college news before they become musty and stale from being tossed about from tongue to tongue for the period of a fortnight or longer. This the monthly magazine failed to do, and the students began to clamor for a more efficient news publication. It was not until the spring of l9l4, however, that anything definite was clone. Then thru the efforts of Ralph Miller, editor-in-chief, the old traditional magazine form' was done away with and the l-lolcad weekly appeared in its place. At first the new form was only a four-page paper, but in the spring of 1915 it was enlarged into an eight-page production with all the characteristics of a progressive weekly. Further to insure its financial success an assessment of Sl .50 per year was made upon each student, the student in turn being considered as a regular subscriber. In view of the foregoing changes the l-lolcad seems to be on a fair road to success. It has now the financial backing it needs, and it has the hearty approval of the student body. With a little more co-operation on thepart of both students and faculty it ought to have the smoothest sailing. 116 '11 The College Bulletin HE Bulletin, issued quarterly under the direction of the faculty, is the ofhcial information bureau of the school. The June issue is a neatly arranged volume of over one hundred pages containing all explanations of the system of credits, students' college expenditures, courses of study, and a students, directory. The other three publications are smaller in number and are secondary to the larger volume, their object being more of the nature of reports. The College Community Lyceum Course OR several years the lecture course has been one of the features of college life. Previous to this year it has been, as some criticised it, too much a college affair and not enough community. This year thru the initiative of the faculty, its nature was changed both as respect to name and character. Instead of the Westminster Lyceum Course it was changed to The College Community Lyceum Coursef, Instead of lectures and entertainments that would please mainly the college audience and none other, a course of more of a cosmopolitan nature was given, yet talent was not sacrificed for the sake of pleasing the people, for the program included some of the best artists on the Lyceum stage. The result of this college-community plan was wonderful. Where two people are working together for their mutual benefit, a general satisfied condition ensues. The large audiences of this year bear testimony of this. Every available Seat was sold and many people had to be turned away. The whole course was conducted on a philan- thropic and democraticbasis. The committee represented every faction in the com- munity and gave their service gratis. The community was represented by Mr. l-l. T. Getty and lVlr. K. Fullcmang the faculty by Prof. E.. R. Moses and Prof. W. W. Troup, and the student body by Mr. Ralph lVlcClurg. The attractions of the course were as follows: Oct. I3. Lou Beauchamp. Nov. l. I-lon. Richmond P. Hobson. Dec. 2. Thomas Brooks Fletcher, Jan. 7. William Sterling Battis. Feb. 7. The Beulah Buck Quartet, Feb. 29. The Cavaliers. Mar. 9. Dr. Edwin Sparks. 117 li t l 4 . I l ii 'i ll l li 'I l.

Geneva and Grove City claim that no truck horse could have plowed through their defense better. On the offensive he made holes large enough to drive a wagon through, and on defense he made a stand over which no opposing man prevailed. LAWRENCE LOGHRY End In the wake of Di Ashton and Skin Par- rish, New York lived up to its rep for producing gridiron material when it sent Lefty Loghry to Westminster. This pink cheeked cherub who hails from a suburb of Rochester, bids fair to occupying a place- among the athletes in Westminster's Hall of Fame. ARTHUR VINCENT End For three years Vine has struggled for football honors under adverse circumstances, because unkind fate gave him a light frame. What he lacked in weight, however, he made up in grit and perseverance, until finally this year he succeeded in making his W as varsity end. l-le will be greatly missed next year. EDWARD BUCKLEY Quarter-back Ted', has made a reputation for himself and Westminster as a quarter-back, that never will be forgotten. Although he is especially famous for his touchdown against W. or jfs championship team, a feat which Yale could not duplicate, his marvelous 80- yard run thru an open field at Geneva was his greatest achievement. CHARLES McQU1sToN Center An account of football playing and play- ers would be incomplete without the men- tion of our star center, Butch Rivaling his big brother Dan and Bob Beck for honor, he is there with the goods. His gen- eralship as Captain, 'l5, and his stonewall defense has proven him the keystone in our line. l 122 . Yi :I V il.i4 T iii'-' ' ' Lila: Q ., 'H y. F, 1 ,W X GLENN BERRY Guard Glimmer Berry, the star guard of Boise, Idaho fpronounced Boy-sayj, trav- eled across the 'continent to occupy the va- cant place left by Hubbard when he left left guard, and most capably he has Filled it. His defense is strong and when Glenn charges there is a hole ubig enough to drive a wagon through. CLYDE ARMSTRONG F ull-baclg Although one of the youngest men on the squad, Army has been able to take care of his position with credit. His real career, however, lies in the future when West- minster expects great things from this youth- ful half-back. The development of the passing game offers excellent chances for the rangy man to star and Army certainly has range. ROBERT SMITH End After the State game when some were expressing their surprise at this man's show- ing, we merely murmured, I told you so. The English tenacity was too strong to be so easily disposed of, and HBob,' won his place. Despite an injured shoulder, he gave a good account of himself in every game in which he participated. T1MoR HOLLAND Half-back We must hand it to Tim, our diminu- tive and pugilistic half-back, for his spear- mintn line plunging, deadly tackling, and brilliant work in general. All you had to do to Hnd Tim was to look for the ball. Tim would be there. STEPHEN HOEZLE Tackle Steve, who so ably held clown the posi- tion of left tackle, was the heavy weight of the squad, making one hunded and ninety- six pounds stripped. In spite of his size, it hustled the ends to distance him in going down after punts. Hoezle is another future star whom the class of 1919 has provided us. 123 ' 1 V ARTHUR SHIELDS Half-back This young Hercules has the gift of keep- ing silent. He also, in spite of strength, is a lover of peaceful virtues. Even on the gridiron, the only one with whom he gets angry is himself. Many difficulties have prevented him from entering into the game without restraint, but nevertheless he has shown ability. WALTER HART Cuard Beef took the bumps and knocks of the Varsity for three years, and then de- ciding that to give was better than to re- ceive, he joined the Varsity. With his one- tenth ton weight he has earned the reputa- tion of always doing his Hdarnedestf' ARTHUR KIRKRIDGE Half-back Kirky,' is a product of our local High School. Although his stature was against him he made up in speed and grit what he lacked in weight. Always off right with the snap of the ball, he generally made a gain of ten or twelve yards before the other team was aware what was going on. GEORGE NEAL Tackle George played good consistent football. It has been rumored about by those who saw him play that he will be a future star fnot a uclotuj. No opposing line ever withstood the attacks made by George. JAMES MCLAUGHRY Tackle As a tackle Jim has few equals. A misfortune early last fall, however, kept him out of football the most of the season. But you can never keep a good man down, is an old saying, and anyone 'can vouch for the truth of this, who saw Jim in action in the Grove City game. The way he plowed thru the op-posing line was uncanny. 124 l l J SAMUEL MCCULLOUGH Sub-center We put Sam here not so much on account of his past achievements as for his future prospects. Big, earnest, and with a desire to accomplish things, he has the foundations of a player which will develop when prac- tice and experience has worn off his green- ness. JOHN CLAIR VANCE Full-back Vance, one of our most consistent players, is a product of the local High School, where he starred for three years as full-back. l-le was our one best bet as punter, always ex- celling in the placing of his kicks. I-le has earned his place as full-back on the 1915 team. JOHN WHERRY U Half-brick Mike says he played the best game of his life against Pitt because the Pittsburg Sunday Post printed a picture of him cir- cling left end for eight yards gain. He has great ability for picking holes and making ground where it seems an impossibility for anyone else to run. HARVEY JOHNSTON Center Jim, commonly called Harvey or Ruff, leaves school after four years of faithful service on the squad with the well wishes of all his team mates. Although suffering re- verses of a physical nature, he has kept play- ing and at last landed in a varsity berth. A good nature and hard playing have been the keys to I-larvey's success. WALDRON COULTER Manager Waldron chased the pigskin, carried water, and set up the dummy for a whole years as scrub manager. That's why he looks so dignified here now. Like Stiffy Weigle, Caldron was determined to wear a W on his chest, and if he couldn't make it on baseball on account of a jinx in the shape of red hair, he could as manager. 125 Qjif if' FQ' Y- .5 fi 1-Fw . , I. ,Vs ..

This was a mystery to many of us for some time, hut when we looked over the abundance of new material we too began to smile L with a pride and confidence. Furthermore, this optimism continued to exist in spite of the fact that in the category of our line-up the countenances of Tink and Doc,' lVlcKissen and live old regulars were missing. The absence of these five regulars was distinctly felt as first. The line was full of gaps and the back Held was crippled. l-low we all wished that our star full-back TussH was still there with his tremendous line plunging! I-low we missed Dan, and Hub, and Hum, and Joe, and the others! But we dicln't think of this long. We thought only of the present. We still had ground for our smiles of satisfaction with Capt. Butch', lVlcQuiston in the center of the line, a bulwark for Westminster, and Ted ,gigs neg .... .ee,-..,.e-se,t.. ..e-.le.,e., eT,,e.eeeee. en. em. WALDRON COULTER, MRC.. to do the chattering with Mike at his side. Nlimf' too, was there, much admired and pampered because everybody knew what to expect of l90-pound boy on right tackle. But another pessimistic thought, his twin brother on the left tackle was gone. We certainly missed lVliz. After the State game when the boys returned no pleasanter surprise could have been brought to us if a new college president had arrivedp-'there was Dart, with his small black grip, his little limp, and his characteristic smile. Some said that it was a great deal better than winning an old State game. The inference is that we lost. The State game was, however, well played on both sides. Buckley in old time form was again slipping around State's fast ends for big gains, but we had no con- sistent line plunger. At first State rushed us off our feet, by scoring from a successful forward pass. Then after this score was doubled by a second touchdown, Westminster tightened up and began to play football. From that time on it was only State's superior weight which helped them to score. Smith on left end played a whirlwind game and de- serves all the more credit because of his first appearance. One sad outcome of the game, however, was the fact that HJim, our fortress on left tackle, was injured and remained out of the game for nearly the whole of the season. After the State game Andy', Park and Tuss lVlcl,aughry, coaches, went to work to strengthen the weak places and prepare for Pitt the following Saturday. Then a most discouraging thing happened. Five of our Varsity men were expelled for hazing. The town was in a hubbub. Football men, coaches and students looked sad. Every- where this was the topic for conversation. A student mass meeting was held in which opinions conflicted as to the advisability of continuing the schedule. The outlook was discouraging to say the least. But here the old Westminster spirit still stood us in good stead. It was finally decided to finish the season crippled as we were with Jim on crutches and the other five gone. And now came the real fight, which proved both the efliciency of thecoaches and our team. During the remaining days before the Pitt game Andy and Tuss showed what they could do with practically a new line-up. Pitt was surprised, mildly speaking. In fact Westminster's most hopeful followers again took heart. The local linesmen played a strong game against almost twice their weight and the back field did some splendid defensive playing. ' 127 -0 'fl Our first victims were the Slippery Rock bunch. But for this game we take no credit. Westminster played listlessly throughout the game and allowed Slippery Rock to score on us for the first time since the two schools met on the field. A feature of the game was Buckley's toe work, kicking from the 45-yard line at a difficult angle. Through the second 'half our opponents were helpless against our strong defense. The l9l 5 schedule was the biggest Westmin-ster ever played. Our fourth game took place at Washington against the Red and Black. Here the result was never in doubt, but the game was 'closer than the score would indicate. Buckley and lVlcQuiston again starred but could accomplish little against W. 8: jfs machine. We were to have played Waynesburg here the following week. However they altered that by cancelling. Geneva was a game which each one was desirous of winning and the pep dis- played by those accompanying the team was real. In our expectation we were disap- pointed, however. Buckley again starred by catching a punt and running 80 yards unassisted through the entire Geneva team for a touchdown. lVl'cQuiston, Neal and Holland also put up a strong defensive game. It was thrilling and interesting. It was marred, however, by dirty playing and slugging on Geneva's part, several of who-se men were banished because of their unsportsmenlike playing. During the second half Westminster outplayed her opponents by rushing them off their feet. It ended with two touchdowns in Geneva's favor and one for us. Against Thiel, Westminster displayed the best form of the seasori, swamping them to the tune of 27-0. The second cancellation was made by Bethany. This left us without a game for that week. The annual Grove City game, the last of the season, was played on the home field. The day was a poor one for football and the field was in poor qon- dition. As usual there was lots of spirit among rooters as well as players. The team put up a hard fight, it being one of the bitterest gridiron battles ever sent in, and his presence was soon evident because of the holes he made for lVli.ke, who netted two fine runs for gains. The final score of the game was 6-O with the goose egg in our nest. It was certainly a quiet, downhearted bunch on Saturday night in Westminster. We missed the ringing of the bell, the bonfire, and the usual speeches but most of all We missed the uptskinf' The outlook for next year is uncertain. We will lose Butch and Buckley and their places will be hard lo fill, but let us all have faith and confidence in old Westminster and give our best efforts toward making a more successful season next year. All honor to those who so faithfully and manfully represented us on the gridiron. I 1 f ! .. fs , .J 'I-Q A h . u Pnl' 'gg' x,0I . 5,9 X 'TL' el-2 - .a--'sv -- ,sq ,.,. ,,,v. ov. 1' . es--,s-.. .

As as Captain he was a faith- ful woker, being willing to play anywhere in practice, to keep things going. We are glad to have him with us again this Spring. HERBERT JAMISON Manager Jamie was the life of the team at home as well as on the trips. Every time West- minster came to the pan, Jamie would say, For the love of Mike, hit that ball! Be- sides working faithfully in practice, Jamie deserves much credit for the way he handled the business in carrying out the schedule. ROBERT SMITH First Baseman Bob was tried on the initial sack for the first time last year. It is needless to say he made good. Next spring the usual problem will not puzzle the coach, with Smitty on first we can be confident that our infield will have a sure man to whom to throw. - EARL FAIR Center Fielder Tommy started the season off last year by laminating the horsehide with a venge- ance. l'le would have continued but the fair ladies embarrassed Tommy while away on the trips. Nevertheless his old curly head contains a bunch of baseball sense. Tommy may sometimes get a little peeved, but the middle of April always finds him on the diamond with his immortal Ash, JOHN WHERRY Right Fielder Mike is an old-timer at this game. l-le always gets everything coming his way. l-lis place in the batting order was first be- cause he managed to get on nearly every time he faced a pitcher. When he got on he usually had a stolen base or two to his credit. 130 WALDRON COULTER Pitcher Red not only Filled the pitcher's box well but also played one of the gardens faultlessly. When Caldron was going right, his curves were baffling. He was steady and well controlled, using his head in every play. His hits were usually of the three-base kind. HARVEY BUSH Shorlsiop New Castle High lost a steady baseball man when Harvey came to Westminster in the Fall of l9l4. While he did not hold his position all year he made the other fel- lows work for the place. When he got his mitts on the pill it was not in vain. HARRY MCCREARY First Baseman Speck was a new addition to our squad last year, but he made good. He was one of the surest men on the diamond and man- aged to cover his sack with credit. Al- though his batting average did not suffer from obesity, he aided with the stick when it was needed. DAVID CUMMINGS Third Baseman Davy was easily the pride of our team. He had all that was necessary to make a ball player. Some of us remember the fright of the Blufhtes when Davy was sent to the hurling hill. However we all liked to see him playing on the hot corner where he committed many a robbery. KENNETH Ico Second Bascman Ken was one of the cleverest and neat- est players on our diamond. His accus- tomed roost was on the second bag. He lugged the wagon tongue to the rubber with a confidence and indifference that caused many a pitcher nervous prostration. We are sorry to miss him in the line-up this spring. 131 7 , fig l x ig i til'-ft f5 4?' W W g f A: lil! dp kg ar e -'A if 5 i., ' :VV .t s 5 E, ? v iifgf '-' E SW ,. ftre ,.:.. . r r s t L ..

The big backstop has a terrible peg and last year scalped many a thieving warrior on his way to second. But old Miz is most famous for the way he lambasted the globule. 'Tis said they never found the ball again on which he made the circuit. NORMAN ANDERSON Pitcher Chuckle', was our old reliable on the mound. When .he was on the hill we knew the fire department was not needed. His repertoire includes all that a good college pitcher can boast of. When he was work- ing Miz always had the bird cage prop- erly adjusted. Chuckle is a coal-headed pitcher. We hope to have him with us the coming season. CHARLES MCQUISTON Catcher HButch', made a name for himself in baseball when he won the game from his old High School team by slamming the pill over the left field fence, scoring two runners besides himself. I-Ie was always there with the chatter and pep that made the pitcher think he was a Joe Woods. WALLACE NELSON Sfzorlsfop We don't know that i'Nels was related to i'Battling but he had the old Hpepf' When he played for the scrubs the Varsity had a hard time getting hits through his territory. Besides he usually had a little ubingsn in his own bat. DoN Ico Second Baseman When old Tort scooped 'em up it meant another out for first baseman. Be- sides being fast on the diamond Don was our fastest baserunner. His specialty is the hook slide. He also was a great aid in handling the ash having served his ap- prenticeship with the Johnstown nine. 5 132 ll 1 ...W .,-.,..,AY WW -. - - -----A----------Y '11 - Y- V----H -. . A . . ,,, , The 191 5 Baseball Season HE Baseball Season of 1915 gave promise of big things. There seemed to be a goodly number of recruits from which to draw and to build up a winning team. The new men who came in had good records in High School, and with the old men who were still in school, the student body felt sure that a winning team would result. The first game of the schedule was played at home, May lst, with Slippery Rock. Forney pitched seven innings when he was relieved by D. lVlcQuiston. Both pitched good ball though Barnhart of the Normal- ites seemed to have better control. The final score was 3 to 2 in favor of the Nor- mal School. The following Saturday the New Castle Collegians invaded our quiet town. This was an interesting game from start to hnish. Coach Tinkham used three pitchers in the HERBERT JAMISON' MGR' game, not so much on account of their inability to keep his opponents from Scoring as to see the relative ability of his pitching staff. Don Igo pullel a nice home-run in the eighth which also scored Mike. K. Igo followed by scoring on a sacrifice hit by Dave which practically won the game, the linal score being 6 to 5 in favor of the home team. The team would like to have the next two weeks blotted out of baseball history. This was the trip to Pittsburg, Waynesburg, Kiski, Indiana Normal, and St. Vincents. Such a Walloping as the team did get! As the week wore on the question was passed around, Who is the Hoodoo? But even though there was enough to cause Dart to almost forget his smile, yet there were some amusing incidents. The team had been ordered to take the early morn- ing train for Waynesburg on Wednesday morning. For some reason Tommy, Dave, and Don got mixed up in their signals and missed the train at Union Depot. They thought that by hurrying across town they might catch the last coach at Birmingham depot. Don of course led the Marathon, and actually did go some. When Dave would catch up to Don then he would stop to look at some of the sky Scrapers. Tommy had a hard time dodging the Hcopsn because Don had scared them all out of their regular beats by his noise as he bounded over the cobbles with his hat and his suitcase in hand. The two finally reached the depot at the tunnel with Don slightly in the lead. I-le looked like a French deserter with two Germans in hot pursuit. As they came out on the station platform Don managed to say There she goes! and collapsed. Of course as the story goes he finally came around and what a time he had showing Dave and Tommy the sights of the big cityln 1 Ykv, Yrg- F-win W ,gi ,,,,,,- -,v,,,i,,, , A H, YM..-,7,,,. Nothing further of much note happened until the team reached Indiana. As Dart looked over that bunch of fair rooters he determined to pull something sensational. In the seventh inning we could hardly believe our eyes as we saw Miz making the dust fly as he tore around the circuit of bases, The girls were delighted all over arid of course Dart had to take off his hat as the girls cheered him before he took his plate on the visitors' bench. That evening-well if you want to know how Dart, Forney and Mercer spent the spring eve, just ask the captain. The team was much pleased when the trip was over and the students had grown tired of kidding the players about the Pittsburg trip. In the remaining eight games the home team broke even. The final two games were a fitting climax to a year of poor baseball. Waynesburg got mixed up on account of changing managers during the baseball season, and did not show up on the 14th. The alumni filled the date and made it interesting for the regulars. Waynesburg showed up the next day about noon and a poorly played game was staged on a wet field. As the manager put his paraphrenalia away on the afternoon of the I5th of June, he was heard to remark: Thank goodness, that is overli' gg ggi A 134 V Q fl V lx I Y 3 i V Q, W 'Q 4i I 1 ,N W, ,N W :Y mf W 1 5 if Y N 1 vm V n . , .

His good show- ing at Grove City in the quarter-mile, in which he won first place, is one of the bright places in the records of last season. Fergie,' was also one of the members of our relay team. JOHN MCGEOCH When big John left his New York home for this institution of learning, he brought with him besides his personal property a de- termination to win out in the weights. l-le has only been with us for one season, but he already shows such good form that before long he will have beaten all rival competi- tors. EDWARD V. BUCKLEY Captain 1915 Buck,' seemed to have a Hjinxi' chasing him all last season. Everytime he would enter a race usually an easy first for him, thru some misfortune he would finish second. Despite the seconds Ted was the chief point getter, and he made his letter with a first in the hurdle race with Tech. HASKILL PATTON After he had learned all that they could teach him in Slippery Rock, Pat came 'here to find, more skill. Every afternoon of the season found him on the track making lively competition for any others who might be out for the two mile run. Joi-IN MERCER It can be said without hesitation that whoever comes in after Johnny, gets a good second, for he rarely enters a race without plucking first place. Indeed he holds the best two-mile record that was ever made by a runner under the Westminster colors. 136 ARTHUR SHIELDS Art is one of the best hammer throw- ers Westminster has ever had. He holds the second best record in school in this line. He took first place in the meets with Geneva and Tech, and came out third in the Grove City meet in throwing the hammer. He is also proficient with the discus. GEORGE NEAL George came here with the determination to make good with the weights. Although still young, his progress has been fast, and the future has much in store for him. He has already proven his worth in heaving the shot and throwing the discus, and doubt- less by the time he is a senior, he will be leading all other competitors. GLENN BERRY Berry, with muscles tempered and hard- ened on a sunny ranch in Idaho, heaves the shot far and wide. In this season, the first in which he ever contended for Westmin- ster, he has done so well that all track en- thusiasts are expecting him sometime in the near future, to make a rep Joi-iN MCCUNE Johnny had a very successful year in the 1915 track team. Tink counted on him to break the tape in the half which he did at both Geneva and Grove City. Against Carnegie Tech he finished a close third. Johnny also ran as a member of the relay team. r ALLEN DICKSON Dick is a Rayen product and uses the experience and athletic instruction which he received in that place on the one mile run. His hard work, plucky fighting, and open running has won for him a true place on the track squad of .the Blue ,and White. 137 :S E E E E E E E E H ,1 EltmmlmlnnlnltllttmmnwmilmttttUm 1 up: w 'Ill Umi!!5i!l11lImE E yi, ,yy E -,-- VKIL Y t -li V f E E T 5 .!IW!.!A sf 9 ?

His long suit was the mile run, and out of three entries he plucked two firsts and one second. Vince also ran the half-mile and the two-mile races. He has a long, easy stride which is sure to make him a place in any of our college meets. W HANAVAN ALDERMAN When Hanavan grits his teeth and sticks out his head, his opponents have to dig in their toes if they are going to come in before him. He comes from Sharon High with a record that makes him give every one who runs against him a 'hard and tough race. DE ORMOND MCLAUGHRY Tuss', like the ancient heroes of old, 'showed his wonderful strength and skill in throwing the discus. He took second in each meet, each time throwing further than the man that took first in the preceding meet. Tuss,s,' second place looked very well, considering the large number of oppo- nents. WALTER LINDSAY Manager Lindse was born with a head for bus- iness. The veracity of this statement is shown in his success as business pilot of the l9l6 Argo, and also as manager of the track team. Somewhat of an athlete him- self, he understood how to give his men the best of care in training. if -tg, .T . , . , f...... -an , f - - . -R 3.1, 1- f.. '14i2' ,?'-,W -4, 4 2 ..

The ,, ff bottom had dropped out with the loss of Can- ' non,Coulter and George Vincent, stars of the year before. Nevertheless the lambs that were left put up a pretty good argument against the bears and bulls of Geneva, Grove City and Tech. ' ' Especially may be noted those Heet and wary lamb- kins, Buckley, Mercer, Vincent and McCune. It took a mighty swift bear to even touch their airy feet when in action. Lambkin Buckley was suddenly changed into a goat for Grove City bears to tease or else his form was so admired that they compelled him to sprint over the IOO yd. course four times to win his race. The wool was pulled over Bucks eyes the whole season or in other words he was running in rough pastures. The officials seem to have a pick at him and he seemed to get the worst decisions the whole year. As it was Buck managed to come away with more glory than ever before. Bucks work on the hurdles was very satisfactory. Johnny McCune, Johnny Mercer and Art Vincent were other fleet little sheep that managed to come away with their gold and tinsel dangling around their necks. Mercer in the two-mile developed remarkable form while Mccune and Vincent still maintained their reputations in the hal f-mile and mile runs. With these little men may be coupled the names of Shields and McCracken., Shields capturing two out of three firsts in the hammer throw and McCracken starting in the pole vault and broad jump, Several other willing workers may be included in the track squad. Men who altho contributing numerous points to Westminster's score, failed to make their 'LW-if Ferguson, Berry, Mcl..aughry, Alderman, Mechlin, Beggs, Patton, Dickson and Bell. This eulogy being finished a summary of what was done may be seen in the fol- lowing schedule of records: On May the eighth we met Geneva at Beaver Falls on a muddy track and held them to an 86-45 score. The following men secured first place medals: Mercer, two- mileg M'cCune, half-mileg Vincent, one mile: Shields, Hammer. While leading in the hurdles Buckley tripped and fell. A week or two later Grove City secured revenge for the walloping she received the year before. Altho the team worked their heads off against the track and the referee they lost. As an example of the odds faced, Buckley and McCracken were compelled to run the l00-yard dash three times having won it .in the first time run. The only men who brought home the golden fleece were Mccune, Vincent, Ferguson and McCracken. The wind-up of track work of l9l5 was the dual meet between Carnegie Tech and Westminster on our 'home field. The plaids were too fast 'company for our boys and took home all the fleece except two golden bits attached to the belts of Buckley and Shields. So with a hope that we may requiem in Pacemn and with a better cxutlook for 1916, the squad of 1915 says Hadieuf' N 1 9 Ir ' 4 9' 1 1 ' , . x. .. WALTER LINDSAY, Men. 139 CLARK RICHARDS LucAs IVICMURRAY CLEMENTS The Cross Country Team JT CROSS country team is something new for Westminster,, yet the novelty of a thing does not always mean that it has a low grade of efficiency. At the P. A. A. meet held in Pittsburg in November Westminsteris team was awarded '-l third place, P. A. A. and Carnegie Institute of Technology taking first and second places respectively. Out of thirty-seven runners entered Richards took third place, lVlclVlurray llth, Lucas l3th, Clements l7th and Clark l9th. Richards was leading until the last stretch on the race when missing his signals he took the old course into the park, and was beaten by Orgen of Sharon and Glenn Caughy, both of R A. A., who took the new and shorter route. At any rate Richards had the honor of being the First college man to finish. The team was composed of entirely new men, all being freshmen. Richards has had considerable experience in track with Wilkinsburg High, having won several medals. Lucas, from the same place, has a good record and bright prospects before him. The others are pretty new in track work, but everyone made good showings, lVIclVlurray especially, having good form. With three more years before these men, Westminstei' has high hopes of a winning team. At the Westinghouse indoor invitation meet held ,lanuary 29th, Richards, our only entry, took third place and established a mile record in Westminster. His time was 4:28 3-5. He was beaten by the HPitt runner, 4:28 I-5, and by the Westinghouse runner, 4:28 2-5. Considering his handicap in not being able to train thru our lack of an indoor track, he did exceptionally well. With proper training there is scarcely any doubt hut that he would have broken the tape. ' 140 A - -------A-W T -7- A. .W uf- - -in 42.

Kirky won his right to a place on the college tennis team by playing through to the semi-finals in the spring tournament. l-le is a game, steady player, as was proven when he forced the more experienced Ge- neva player to play through three gruelling sets before he could annex a victory. His chief power lies in his ability to do the un- expected, and his opponent is generally kept guessing. WILLIAM GRUNDISH To the management of Bill the degree of success which 'attended the Tennis season was largely due. As a player, also, West- minster was most fortunate in claiming his services. In handling the racquet he is cool- headed and steady, making up for his lack of reach in quickness and speed. The Tennis Season FTER tennislhad been conspicuous by its absence for several. years, a few en- thusiasts decided to revive the game last spring. Considering the handicaps of lack of funds and lack of college courts, their efforts may be termed sulfi- -'---l cessful. A tournament to decide the members of the varsity team was held early in May. Twelve men tried for places, l-l. Braham, lVlcNaugher, Kirk- bride and Grundish finally being chosen to represent the college. The first match was held with Geneva in Beaver Falls, May l2, the Covenanters winning four to two. lVlcNaugher defeated Johnston 6-0 and 6-3, and Grundish and lVlcNaugher defeated Dodds and Smith- 6-0, 6-3. The rest of the matches were 'hard- fought, but lack of practice told against the Westminster players. Braham and Kirk- bride both did good work against more experienced opponents. Grundish and Dodds played two gruelling sets, the latter winning 6-3, 8-6. Two tournaments were held with Grove City, each resulting in a tie. ln the first Grundish beat Byers 6-4, 6-2, and lVlcNaugher defeated Durstine 6-3, 4-6, 7-5. The Westminster pair then defeated the Cumison combinatio-n 6-2, 6-4. Braham lost to Thorn 5-7, 3-6, and Turner defeated Kirkbride 6-l, 6-0. The doubles match was won by Grove City. ln the second tournament lVlcNaugher beat Durstine 6-4, 9-7, and Grundish beat Turner 6-3, 4-6, 6-4. The Westminster pair then kept up their winning streak by defeating Byers and Durstine 7-5, 6-3. The other matches were hard-fought, but the superior training of the Grove City men gave them the advantage. Thus the team closed the season with a record of two tie matches and one defeat. With college courts and support from the athletic fund, tennis should take its rightful place among the inter-collegiate sports. Kirkbride and Grunclish are still in school, as a nucleus around which to form a team this year. It is to be 'hoped that a number of men find it possible to come out for the team. l ' 142 l 'll '?lf Iff 'fiI '7 '1ii'l M 'fK 'l 1 ' l x IP H X M 2 X WVWSX V Qyx !

And so every Saturday night in the season when there is not a club party, or a class party, or a sleighing party, or a skating party, for something elsey to distract the interest of the fans, the benches of the old gym are usually groaning beneath the weight of a crowd of enthusiastic spectators. At such times the fair fans are as much in evidence as the unfair, and are rooting just as earnestly for their respective teams, whether it happens to be the high treble note of ' Dot ' or the low murmur of encouragement of Martha, ' Good boy, Walt! ' that reaches the ears of the players. The prospects of an interesting season of inter-class basketball were not very bright this year due to the fact that several of the best players did not return. The Junior team which had been champions in both l9l4 and l9l5, entered the season with five of its regular players missing. The loss of McCracken, Cummings, Strathearn, lgo, and Button was irreparable and as a consequence the class of 'l7 was doomed to the cellar position. The Seniors and Sophomores were more fortunate, however, the former returning with their regular five, and the latter with the loss of but one man, Shotts. Of course the Seniors of 1915 were missing, andtthe absence of Braham, Shaffer, and lVlcl..aughry was distinctly felt in the judgment of the fans, since all three put up a fine article of ball. When the season opened the championship odds were very much in favor of the Sopho- mores who had finished in second place the previous year. The Seniors, however, were right there with the old fighting spirit and gave them a hard chase. They won one game out of two with their rivals and defeated the other two teams in every game except the last. That game was with the Freshmen and of course the loss of this game gave the championship to the Sophs, The Freshman team was expected to show up pretty well from the first, although all of its players were rather young. Armstrong at center, and Loghry at forward, both put up excellent games and displayed much floor skill. The former was a hend with the long shots. Trimble, forward, Capt. Cummings, guard, and Brandon, guard, all showed good form. It was only toward the close of the season, however, that they succeeded in developing the right teamwork, but when they at last got started they were formidable, and nearly succeeded in beating the fast Sophomores. - As was said above the games are played on Saturday night. Two games are played in an evening and during the season each team plays nine games. The games, too, are characterized by clean playing and a sportsrnanlike spirit. The popularity attending them is only indicative of a much greater popularity that would undoubtedly attend inter-colleg- iate basketball, were it only established. 148 'W 1 ' 1--,fn Y Q .

Girls' Basketball than this year. When the football season was scarcely ended, one might Aix see crowds of girls standing around the halls discussing the prospects for the season and Qiygl' wishing to goodness they could begin to practice. ln response to the first call for recruits, girls of a-ll heights and builds rushed anxiously 'across the campus, swinging shoes over their arms, and dashed 'into the 'Agymu for the first real scrimmage. The new players, unaccustomed to playing on a floor such as ours, and unfamiliar with our methods of attack, found it very difficult to adapt themselves to our ldo's but principally our 'don'ts. After due hashing and rehashing of rules, it was unanimously agreed to play like nladiesf' 1 During the many weeks of hard practice the enthusiasm increased. When the Juniors had their orations safely behind them, one by one they appeared on the floor in their accustomed 'positions. When that ever obliging body known as the Faculty, graciously consented to allow us to play inter- collegiate games, A'Sis, our able manager, secured for us four games abroad and four return games. Then every girl played her 'durnedestu fin the language of the pursuers of the fair co-eds, itrying all the time amidst the excitement, to liken those 'proverbial lines to a wall of stone over which they must not trespass. Meanwrhile the Coach kept his eyes pealed for Varsity stars. With such a schedule in view the manager began to Acommercializen the sport by arranging for extemporaneous games, as a me-ans of securing sufficient funds to transport the team to its various Fields of battle. Soon such team work and fast playing was developed that it kept the coach on the jump to avoid the fatal blows of the players and even then he has suffered several times at their hands. Nevertheless they ha e not yet developed the antagonistic spirit that they can heartlessly give their fellow-players a blow by'a misdirected ball or tramp on their toes without politely begging their pardon. Now the team is in fine trim and are anticipating with much eagerness the P. C. W. game which will be played here on February 26th, a-nd expect to meet them half way in a hot contest fighting with the best that is in them for the old Blue and White. 150 A-'1ii:r. l N. ff Y Y WP' Y :Ev-.W W- A--W Si '-Q I? 14 ,. 1l li 1 X1 , W EW H il N Q 21 lg U - M u w 1 J r 4 il ' if , r H U U u.

At the lead rode the heralds, fol lowing whom came a cart full of little tots. Next came the Queen attended by her small train bearers and stately ladies in waiting. The college girls followed in the order of their classes. The grave seniors in their quaint gowns looked like pictures of Grandma fifty years ago. We Juniors were veritable Nut Brown maids. The Sophow more girls in their costumes, women from the colors of the flag, brought tender mem- ories to those who had long ago fought beneath its folds and now were our honored guests. Our youngest, the Freshmen, in their woodsy costumes of green, looked as though they had come to us straight from the nature they represented. Anyone who had chanced to pass our way and paused to watch the folk-dances which were done with such grace would have felt that :they had wandered into a corner of merry England. many years ago. One of the loveliest pictures, which will remain with us. was of Dawn rousing her sisters, moon and night, to dance with her and their hnal melting into the shadows of which thev seemed a part, The 'crowning of the May Queen by her whose place she was to fill, added the dignity to the occasion. And who is there who will say that Westminster has looked upon a fairer? To keep before us the charms of other days, we see the Seniors once more moving in and out in the winding of the May-pole. And so we look back upon that day as a pleasant memory and to the coming ones with bright anticipation. 153 on May twenty-eighth, 1915. Wen, it did not man at Six P-. MI, but the l NLE 0 - ' . J Tug - o'-War l 9 l 5 mtl! HEN Captains Dart and Berry assembled their huskies on the banks of the little Neshannock not many days before commencment, there was a great deal of confidence on the part of the Freshies and sheer desperation on the part of the Sophomores. After both sides had lined up, with sympa- thetic rooters yelling for their respective sides, and after every utuggern had divested himself of all unnecessary apparel and had taken a good grip on the heavy rope, the president of the Senior class gave the signal for the beginning of the contest. Right here let us mention an incident which changed the whole face of things and decided the result. It may be compared to the battle of Water- loo, when Wellington was wishing for Blucherls army or night. Well Blucher's army arrived in the shape of two specials, Pitts and Shields, two of the huskiest men in school. They were exchanged for lighter men in the line. The contest now began. With no apparent advantage on either side for many long seconds, both classes tugged and pulled to the last pound in them. After a minute of hard pulling, the Freshies came nearer and nearer to the brink of the stream. Then Berry, who was first, turned pale and a trembling seized all the Freshies. Shott, who was lit up like a saloon, was scared most of all. A period of nervous expectation now followed with those on the bridge yelling Pull! Pullln to their respective heroes. After four minutes of tugging the superior weight of the Freshmen began to tell. Slowly the Sophs approached the wateris edge, though unwillingly. First McCracken, then Lash, Reed, Steele, and the others were lost sight of be- neath the foaming water only to reappear on the opposite bank. The Sophs showed their gameness to the last, however, and as they hurried home to don more comfortable garments, the onlookers cheered them, lustily calling, A i good fight, Sophsf' After all the question is not as to who won, but what kind of a fight did they put up.

The Sulfragette Parade RIGHT as the sun, fair as the moon and terrible as an army with bannersf, With the blare of trumpets and the riotous roar of multi- tudinous tin pans, rescued from the Hillside scrap heap, the would- be militants swept in motley array into our sacred chapel, profaning its dedi'- cated walls with their secular insignia, and making the welkin ring with a chant of defiance to that upright species of vertebrate commonly known as homo sapiens. Dr. Ferguson had just arisen to give forth the morning Psalm when thru the sacred portals came the Crusaders. Gentle Julia, like Napoleon of old, strode at their head, leading the Qld Cuardy' out to con- quest. Symbolic was their attire,-some of their future callings under the fair light of emancipated woman, others of their present serfdom under the heel of regnant man. Following their heroic captain swept Bones robed in the emblems of the fighter of furious fire fthe whole work to which she aspires no doubt when liberty is attainedj, Haunting the burdensome banner Vote Dry For Me. Next in the royal phalanx came Kitchy and Schmidty, elderly spinsters of Napoleon's Body Guard, longing for that glorious day when they should trample unloving man into the dust of the earth and ring up street car fares with feminine grace. Others there were of future aspirations but all was not glamour and hope. Trudging silently in the rear appeared Dot,' and l.,oonie,' mute witnesses of manis oligarchal sway, called from the washtub, the mending basket, and the ironing board to register their protest against the tyranny of man. Thus swept they for- ward, hiding with their cheesecloth banners Dr. Ferguson and the Psalter and raising their voices of hope and womanly patriotism in a morning song of militant defianceg thus they sang and thus beat they their shapeless pans and kettles. Then retired they with haughty mien, confident of another sweep- ing triumph over that arch fiend of the political world-the genus homo. 155 it W 1 '11 THE TEAM Girls, Football Team 5 ly for originality foi when he wanted something new for mass meeting he called on the girls to invent 1t.

Q Good Roads Day ,gn N Wednesday May 26th I9I 5 a happy throng of girls left the I-1111 side, carrying baskets, boxes, cans, or even old-fashioned hampers, filled with good things. I-lubbub and commotion seemed to have invaded the calm morning dignity of the Hillside. lVlerry laughter, little trills of excitement, and care free chatter filled the sweet spring air. Why were all these maidens so hilariously going forth in the morning of a school- day when, by all the laws known to a logical mind, they should have been in recitation rooms? The explanation is simple. It was Good Roads Day- the day every able-bodied man in Pennsylvania was to be out on the high- ways and by-ways striving to make our roads a credit and not a disgrace to the state. The men of Westminster responded nobly to the appeal. Pro- fessors and students alike entered into it heartily, and had been working since daybreak in well organized gangs Picks and shovels, ploughs, scrapers and drags had not been idle, and now the girls, eager to have some part and share in the work, were hurrying to the village, where the good women of the com- munity were waiting with lunches for the workers. Not only the women were waiting, however. The main thoroughfare of the town in front of the Second Church as well as part of the campus, were crowded with machines of every size, build and make, from a Ford,' to a Winton Six. As quickly as the lunches were ready, the girls climbed into the waiting cars and were speedily carried to their several destinations. One Hgangn was working at the Junction, another at Shady l-lollow, another at Volant, an- other near Cummings and still another at Johnstons. The sun, which had been shining hopefully when the girls left the Hill- side, disappeared totally about noon, and as the machines were nearing the various stopping places, it looked very much like rain. But it was May. just the same, and nobody filled with the gladness of the spring time minds a little rain. It did not rain, however, merely threatened, and did not hinder eating out of doors in the least. A convenient grassy spot in the woods, the front lawn of a house, or a comfortable spot by the roadside served as a banquet table, and never was feast more enioyed. There were eats and eats and then some more seats. The girls had brought their lunches from the l-lillside and these together with the ones provided for the boys by the women of the town rivalled the feast of the Gods. There were delicious sandwiches, crisp brown, meat loaf, salad, pickles. olives. potato chips, cake, ice cream and Hlolly pops. At some of the placeswhere there were houses near by the people brought out steaming coffee whose very aroma made one hungry, thick yellow cream, rich milk, and there is still one group that still talks ecstatically of lemon custard pies with Hakv crust and deep meringue. The sun came out for a few minutes during the dinner hour and some picture? were taken, but it was such a weak sun and stayed such a little while that very few of the pictures were any good at all. After an hour's fun, the girls were driven back to town in the machines and the boys returned to work. Everybody had a good time. and on all sides came the echo, Let's hope they have a 'Good Roads Day' next year.,' 159 . '11 tit t i ' 'M '- it f-lalloweien 9- ND what does I-lallowe'en mean?

That IS the night when all the ghosts and goblins of the past rise and f---A-l join with you in play. Let me tell you of one celebration we had in school. It was held at the Hillside and everybody was invited to 'come fantastically garbed, and the fun began at 7:30. As you entered you were greeted with wierd sounds, ghost-like figures gliding here and there in and out. Then as you climbed the stains you found yourself in a motley crowd. There were clowns striving to live up to their names, there were beautiful ladies of India, of the olden times, the nuns, the newspaper lady, Buster Brown and many others, We spent most of the evening guessing who every character was and what blun- ders we did make. Then the awarding of the prizes came next. A few of the faculty were appointed as judges and there were prizes given for the cleverest, the funniest, and the prettiest costumes, and oh, how some did work for them, and what surprises did come when they unmasl-red! Even the faculty lost their dignity for the evening. Then after this came a good old-fashioned lunch, cider, apples, sandwiches and doughnuts, served by the girls, and then' at l0:30 the gong rang and the ghosts, like Cinderella, fled to be seen no more. There was a young fellow named Schenck, Who thought he was cute, by Henk! For he dressed up in women's clothes And away he goes To fool other people, I think.

But not so, they were merely the soph boys bedecked in fresh girls' hats. Such fantastic looking objects were never seen. Hats of all shapes and sizes on heads equally varying in structure were cocked at coquettish angles. Brownie Braham looked so stunning in a sailor shape with streamers that it is rumored 'he has bought one second hand to wear this spring. Mechlin, in a small turban effect that slouched over his eye, was a perfect vision and O. Campbell looked like a walking flower garden. Basil Murray was the hit, however, in a large pi'cture hat, adorned with a gorgedus feather, 'he was the picture of elite Paris en marche. After the show was over, some of the bravest of the freshman girls crossed the chapel to claim their hats, but there were some who, for bashfulness, modesty, or spunk, would not deign to even approach the male element of 1917. Among these latter was Dot Murray. We haVen't as yet been able to decide which of the above reasons restrained her, but at any rate Dot went hatless for at least three weeks. Fussers? Well, yes, to a cer- tain extent. I refer to Tub and Herb , not to the ladies. Tub is the one beneath the helmet, though scarcely anything of his face can be seen but his mouth.

A CO-ED CUT-UP A Quiet Day in the Library 8:30 A. M. The librarian with an involuntary smile, checks the three books retturned out of the twenty-nine loaned over night, and starts to multiply 26 by 5l5.l0. She then makes out the bills. 9:25 A. M. Walter wanders in and glancing about finds a table in the alcove not in use. l-le sits down and picking up a book by chance begins to glance idly thru its pages. Five minutes later Martha comes skating in and gliding to his side sits down, whereupon ensues an hour's conversation carried on in whispers. fMartha never screams when talking to Walter.D l0:20 in the above alcove Sis Perkins, Olive l-lickman, Miss Eckles -and Gladys Krause are discussing the Women of the Hawaiian Islands, or Why I can't get a fellow in leap year. Sis Perkins has the floor and in the midst of a heated declaration, is saying, I protest, my dear fellowe maids,- when CLANG goes the desk bell, and a subdued quiet ensues. I I :l5: The gong rings and the library shifts crews. Sis, Perkins and her fellow sufferers leave with many a cold look at the librarian. McMinn strides in with a big volume of Nietzch under his arm and sprawls into a chair at one end of the long table in the alcove. Nonchalantly he interrupts a con- versation between Mary Crawford and Marion Mitch with a new theory concerning Mr. Darwin Missinglink. Marion and Mary take sides against him until King Arthur comes to his aid, and decides the case in McMinn's favor by knowingly pointing to his own ears which he is wiggling backwards and forwards in an uncanny fashion. l2:l0 P.

She doesn't have a class this hour, and of course she would come here for material for her oration. Now for forty minutes of bliss! 4:00 P. M. Gong. 7:00 P. M. Hurriedly enters the assistant librarian followed by Jim. Ten minutes later Pinky skates ing Jim glances at his watch and murmurs inquiringly, Le Cercle Francais late tonight?

Cocky Stewart, Mike Vvherry, Bill Douthett, and George Nea! are seated at different tables. Cocky glances at his Wrist watch, so does Mike, so does Bill, and so does George. How late they are keeping those girls in the Glee Club tonight! they exclaim in unison. Presently there is a sound of feet on the stairs and in rush the four delinquents. Jean rushes to Cocky, Minnie Bell to Mike, Charlotte to Bill, and Dot to George, and then each settles down for a good hour of screaming conflab.

Pride ' FI NCE upon a time there lived in a far and distant country a beautiful princess. She was so , 41 beautiful that in her presence the lustre of the moon shining upon the crystal lake behind h f h ' ' . 5 I Fail - ' ' f-NL? er, at er's, the king's, maiden in all the world. ' of her beauty, whether it Uncle, the count, was the mightiest know. I only know that she was talked matters over and decided to to our own Westminster. By and by she arrived at Westminster. She went straight to the Castle chateau lost its brightness. In fact, she was the most beautiful But she was proud, too proud. Whether this pride was because was because her father was king of the land, or because her Short warrior, or becauce her aunt, the countess, had spoiled her, I don t proud. And so her father, the king, and her mother, the queen, send her into a land far towards the rising sun to go to college,- Hillside and procured a large room overlooking the draw bridge. The first evening of her arrival she attended the Whose Wl1o. She was clad in a beautiful gown and stepped firmly and held her head high. But she was more beautiful by far than her most costly gown,-so the young princes thought. She was more beautiful than the morning star, or the forest of Arden, or Solomons glory, why she was even more beautiful than Ucanim- agme. Now there lived in Castle Hillside many other beau- tiful princesses but none so beautiful as our Princess- Campus-Fair, as she now styled herself. She was the sun of all the other princesses in the castle, who were merely her satellites. They admired her bea-uty, and they praised her costly garments. They invited her to all their Parties-After-The-Dean-Retires, and she of course graciously accepted. They laughed at these events, they joked, and cooked something in their Chafing-Dishes which they called Home-Made-Candy. Some of it our Princess liked and some was distasteful that she liked the life splendid time. that blocked the path- for in these days of princesses as well as many dragons odered to her. But in genera-l she felt at the castle and was having a But there were many dragons way of our beautiful princess Ballotsforwomen, dragons fight princes. And so, I say that her fight, dragons with fiery eyes, and forked tongues, and flaming breath. These dragons, tco, had such Can you imagine our staid Business Manager playing hide-and-seclf in this manner? 180 '51 names,-such short ugly names-such as Math, Canby, Creek and French. They would pursue her even up to the drawbridge, and she would hurl at them huge missels of Hours-Spentin-writing-note.. boolcs, Long-periods-of-study and perhaps Sleepless-nights. They in turn would try to throw a charm over her by gently whispering 'Have a good time. 'Come up to lVlary's room for a Happygoodtimef' But the liing's daughter overcame them all but one. This was the fiercest dragon of all, with a long black mane and a monstrous tail and hard, very hard, bony scales all over its body. The scales were so hard that she couldn't pierce them with her trusty sword, l'll-Solve-You, especially so since the charms Haveagoodtime or Strolldownthecinderpath were over her, and so she failed to conquer him. As a result a card was sent to the king, her father, telling him of a condition in Math. The father was sad, very sad, but he returned the card to his daughter, the Princess, without a word. Whed Princess-Campus-fair saw the card with the condition and no word from the king, she knew that her father was sad. She was touchedg her pride was humbled. She broke the charms and resolved tto conquer the dragon with the short ugly name. The next semester she fought with a will against the dragon and slew him, and when she slew him what was her surprise to find a letter dropped myste- riously into her hands with an A written on it. Princess-Campus-fair was happy and resolved never again to allow any dragon to conquer her. From a Freshman she blossomed into a Sophomore, grew to be a Junior, and hnally ripened into a Senior. Among all the other Senior princesses she was now the brightest, the most agreeable, the most humble, and still the most beautiful. And because she was the brightest, the most agreeable, the most humble, and still the most beautiful, she was made the vale- dictorian of her class.

Jaxtbeimer Selling is more than trading stock for silver cer titicates-material for money. Selling is a part of the scheme of business. Most anyone can sell once, but selling so that you can create permanent customers is selling success- fully. One sale recluces itself to a confidence game, unless the buyer is perfectly satisfied. Satisfaction sencls the customer away with the smile that won't come oft. Satisfaction is the sense that remains long after the transaction is clone. Satisfaction brinas a customer baclc as a regular buyer. Satisfied customers are never quite satistreclg they always come back. m ,. Satisfaction is our Watctiword New Castle Dry Goods Co.

Science Hall contains three lecture rooms, six laboratories devoted to Chemistry, Physics a-nd Biology, Museum, photograph gallery, stock rooms and oflices. The labora- tories are furnished with the latest equipment with a fullness which challenges compari- son with the collegiate departments of our best universities.

Steinway and llVIehlen pianos are used by all teachers and new high grade practice instruments are furnished all students, no instrument being kept longer than two years. The Hillside, a dormitory for young women, excels in beauty and convenience. A large number of rooms are furnished with private bath. The dining room has been pronounced the most attractive to be found in any institution. About ninety young women can be accommodated. The Gymnasium, erected by the Class of '80, is well furnished with modern appara- tus, and is adequate for full work. A new Gymnasium is however planned for the near future. FACULTY Westminster's Faculty is large in proportion to the number of students and hence furnishes opportunity for thorough work and personal interest in students. All depart- ments are in care of university trained teachers. Thoroughness is the watchword of each department. 207 'AH '11 CURRICULUM The Curriculum of Westminster is purely collegiate with auxiliary courses in Public Speaking, Music and Art. A sub-Freshman class is maintained for students who come from communities where but three years of High School worlciis given. The three ocurses of College work, Classical, Scientific and Philosophical, prepare for the work of the professional and technical schools, and also Ht for I-Iigh School and Callege posi- tions. Graduates are accepted on diploma in leading universities. THE COLLEGE OF MUSIC The College ot Music is conducted by a corps of instructors trained under the most eminent and successful masters of Europe and America. The worlc accomplished is everywhere recognized as of the highest order. No expense or effort is spared in making this department the equal of the best Musical Conservatories.. THE DEPARTMENT OF ART The Department of Art provides training for all who wish to make a profession of Art, furnishing a tour years' course. Extended courses in the history of Art are tur- nished and opportunity given to study the master pieces in lthe Carnegie Galleries of Pittsburg. PUBLIC SPEARING Public Speaking receives a large emphasis in the Department of English, and in the work ot the Literary Societies -and Debating Clubs. In additon to this, courses are offered for graduation in the line of impersonations and interpretative rendering ofthe best literature. MORAL IDEALS Westminster has for her ideal effort the harmonious blending of broad Scholarship' pure morality, and an evangelistic atmosphere such as will foster 'reverence for the Bible as the word of God and Sympathy with the missionary program of Chri.t. It is maintained that sane college discipline must demand from college students the same morality which has characterized the Christian homes from which they come, and that under no circumstances should young people who are learning to malte a living and a life through the sacrifices of Christian parents and endowments of the Church, be per- mitted a lower grade of moral conduct than those of their own age who, in the home community, are doing the work of life. THE COLLEGE YEAR The College year of l9l6-7 will open September 20th, at 4 P. M' Entrance examinations and registration of new students Monday 9nd Tuesday, September ISth and I9th, 1916.
