THAcKERn jfntemurh HE Board of Editors of the Class 1913 herewith presents the third volume of the Grindstone. The publishing of such a book has a two-fold mission. Firstly, it is a book of information concerning all departments of the college, both of the incorporated schoul and of the student body. As such it is an invaluable book containing statistics and facts presented in handsome and pleasing form. Secondly, it is a book devoted to the students, who in later years will hrst begin to appreciate its contents of records and happenings. To say that the publishing of this volume was laborious would be begging the sympathy of those who page its leaves. Nor does the class of 1913 in turn offer any excuse 0r apology for this publication. But if the Grindstone of 1912, published by the Junior Class of that year, will prove to be a book that always recalls pleasant memories to students and friends, then it has fulfilled its mission.

It has held a peculiar yet proiitable relation toward Baldwin University from its very beginning. English literature and the Sciences were taught in Baldwin; the Modern and Ancient languages besides Philosophy and kindred studies were taught at Wallace. But the infiuences of both institutions became more far- reaching in time and a separation took place in the year nineteen hundred and eleven. Both schools now enjoy an enrollment of about three hundred students respectively, an ideal number. FACULTY ARTHUR L. BRESLICH, B.D., Ph.D. President of the College KARL RIEMENSCHNEIDER, Ph. D., D.

In the year nineteen hundred and one this course was extended and made a department of the college through the generosity of Col. H. Marting, Fannie Nast Gamble, and George Kalmbach, who founded chairs for the teaching of theology. The Nast Theological Seminary, as it is called, has the distinction of being one of the foremost schools of theology in German Methodism. FACULTY ARTHUR L. BRESLICH, B. D., Ph. D.

This demand is one which the School of Music aims especially to meet. The connection of the School of Music with a college gives it particular privileges and a prestige Which a school of music standing alone can not command. The courses of study oifered in the different branches aim to cover the whole field in each case, and the school has provided experienced teachers and musicians who have spent years studying under the greatest masters.

For danger lurked about each memberls path long years before toward Wallace they had turned. Nor did their troubles end when once they came to drink from learned fountains that at Wallace flowed. No matter where or how they came, from near or. far, their minds with One desire were beset,-0ur wagon to a star. Our start, as class was small, our numbers were but few, indeed our numbers ne'er to great proportions grew. Some had a higher education ere they came while others could not of such learning beast and started at the bottom here at school and climbed the ladder round for round. So year by year we gained in knowledge and in strength, our number also waxed ; each year were added one or two, a meager growth,ebut still we grew. The true that even now, when on life's threshhold we take stand, our class is small if counted on the hand, but strength and power do not always in great numbers lie; they 0ft are vested in the few and small. Despite these things we can of valor boast; of ilags that from the college staff we furled, of ice cream that from J uniore we in triumph bore when we were Preps; and gowns that mighty Seniors thought to wear in pomp and style, assembled for a lofty feast where only great ones were to be, but nonce anon. And so we might describe with pen or paint with words the mighty deeds of ours. These will sullice. Our name as gallants now is made. We have no fear. But while we boast once more we'll toot our horn. Four states are represented in our class and of the transatlantic countries, three. From Russia, in the distant North; from Germany that lies just to the South and Switzerland near by. And now that college days are spent and we with retrospection can review our days, our deeds and all, methinke that Time stands near us and approval smiles on all our past while not far off good Fortune nods to us and beckons us to come.

That Frey hails from the mountains needs no second mentioning. J ust look at that walk of his. Therels no mistake about it, it's from the hills. Have a look at his face. Could you mistake it for anything else than a product of Swiss sunshine? Of course you dontt see his complexion on the half-tone that accompanies this write-up. If you could, you would see that complexion so common to Swiss people, that complexion the poets rave over; just a samplPthose sunkissed cheeks made 1-11de by the free and fresh mountain air, air that has gathered its essence from snow-oapped mountains, air that has picked up the spices from rich meadows in fertile valleys, air that has, etc., etc. In short, it is a cross between burnt orange and nutmeg. Then there is that free and cordial handgrip. And lastly, beneath his manly bosom there beats the heart of a mountain- eer, one that beats sympathetically for everybody, one that reaches out to all in good fellowship and love. OLGA HECKER .............. St. Petersburg, Russia Modern Classical Course. Philomathean Society Secretary; Vale- dictory Orator; Senior Class Vioe-Presi- dent. ttBeing serious is a trade, but being taken seriously is an art. The fellow who coined that saying did not know .Olga. She talks seriously, looks seriously, acts seriously, appears seriously, in short she is serious. With one exception. Ah-ha, now she smiles. Just talk matrimony to her or watch her when a young man talks to her, and she smiles. Yes she smiles, but she isnlt happy. Not that she laughs at the fellow. For be it from such, but at the idea of a fellow going with her. It is a joke, for, mark you, gentle reader, life to her is single blissebeg pardon, I mean single life to her is bliss. But back again to serious matter. Olga is ambi- tions and studious. She is now instructor of German in the Berea High School. 28 ELIZABETH JUNKER .......... Frankfurt, Germany Modern Classical Course. Secondary schools in Germany, England and France. Entered as Sophomore. A Daniel has come to judgment, 3. Daniel. Thus said Shylock in his ecstasy. Repeat this several times to get the rhythm, then repeat with us the following: A Saul has come among us, a Saul? We refer to Elizabeth. Like Saul of old she is tall and fair, 5. head above all others of her tribe, the feminites to wit. And, like Saul, Who went out to hunt for asses and found a kingdom, she went in quest of learning and found ae well, just look at her left hand and see the sparkling diamond for yourself. But she put one over on Saul. She got the fellow and learning, too. Also she sings. Gee! but she can sing high. One thing astounds us and that is, Elizabeth is studying shorthand. Hereis the point: Elizabeth will eventually get married sooner or later, sooner if anything. Now, honestly, Geraldine, can you imagine her taking dictation from a man. I would like to see the fellow who dictates to her. SAMUEL E. KAETZEL ............... Dale, Indiana Modern Classical Course. Dale High School.

Sardis, Ohio Classical Theological Course. Goethe Society Vice- President; Presi- dent; Valedictory Orator; Track Team; Volunteer Band President. Here is Where we make an unequivocal statement of irrefragable faaname-ly: Rapking likes girls. Look- ing at him you never would have thunk it. But so it were. Rap. himself never admitted it until he had selected one, just one; that was enough for him. And as far as we know he still has her at the present Writ- ing. Aaron has ideas all his ownepatents pending. His is the style of oratory,T known as ila la Ranking. Just a sample: ill tell you, dear friends, you must see this in the light that I do. IFiFthe longer I stand here the more Pm convinced that water is more powerful than wind. Why if a cyclone comes along, crawl in a hole and let it blow over; but let a flood come along and crawl in a hole, that'll fix you all right. Add to this a vivid picture of a well set young man with high forehead, large eyes, prominent nose, a quiv- ering lip-dont forget that, and a hand that in a rythmic, rhimic, rhyme like motion chops up and down at elbowis lengthethat's oratory a la. Rapking. cIllemiitm all this Rap will make a good missionary some ay. CLARENCE THALHEIM ............ Kewaunee, Wis. Commercial Course. Entered as Freshman. Goethe Society Vice-President. In looking over past annals and personal statistics stacked in the archives of the state of Wisconsin, our patience came to an end. In vain we searched every- thing from the shelves of the state legislative library to the family Bible for any allusion to such as Clarence Thalheim. Then we accosted him, Clarence himself, boldlyr for information concerning his personal reroga- tivesHof no avail. We approached him m1 dly, on bended knee and in suppliant moodsof no use. We stealthily drew nigh, used cunning and craftrbut we slunk away baffled and under cover. Now the thus-Eor and the why of all this? Why find we so little of his history? Clarence is a modest man, written in capitals. Hence 110 illusions, or brass tablets or monuments to bear Witness of his past. His own stamp of disapproval rests cm all such superHueus signs. If anyone dares to hand bouquets to him he will give you such a. look that would cause the mercury to drop out of the thermome- ters. We would say much about him but fear his frigid glance. Let this suflice, Still waters flow deep. 41215155 at jaineteen 3911111113211 ant Ebirteen CLASS MEMBERS Edward Allinger Frieda Rogatzky Grace Balmer Roland Schaefer Esther Beyer Fred Schweinfurth Max Beyer Job Shaw Hilda.

Or if in their childhood dreams visions such ae,-a student entering the halls of learning in Berea,w-would have flashed before them, they would even then have taken it as an improbability, a mere vision, a random thought out of place. No thought of ever associating with the fellow class- mates of 1913 ever entered the brain of barefooted Tom, whose bruised toe was wrapped in a clean white rag which to Tom meant no more than a decoration such as a Hottentot might wear and which he now proudly exhibited. Nor did bashful Mary ever stop for one moment in the days when she was the prize mud pie maker and picture herself a student in the fair village of Berea'. And even as late as four years ago, if a crystal would have been passed before some of our eyes foretelling this day we Would have recoiled in surprise and unbelief. But, fellow-classmates, such has come to pass and either fate or fortune has thrown us together. To rehearse all the events and deeds that stand out in the history of the class 1913 would weary some and move others to envy and wrath. So with unselfishness we will omit these accounts and cast our eyes into the future. The story of the future is simple. It would even prove to be monotonous to some for it is but a repetition. It begins thus,--Twenty- four J uniors standing in a row; One was engaged, so now there remain but twenty-three. Then twenty-three Juniors stand in a row; a lad and a lass of their number are engaged, so there are but twenty-one, etc., etc. Next year some more will be engaged and when all have left college their number will diminish fast. At last the day will come when the historian stands alone as class representative, for he has chosen the life of eternal celibacy, and on reflecting will be able to count instead of class members, house- holds and families.

Goethe Society Vice-President; Presi- dent; Boarding Club Steward; Y. M. C. A. Treasurer; First Prize English Oratoriea! Contest; Joint winner of German Ora- torical Contest; Athletic Association See- retary; Manager of Varsity Basket Ball Team: Quartermaster Sergeant Wallace Guards. A Hoosier by birth and a. ministeris son by accident, reserved to stuck-up-ish-ness at first glance, iiEddieii can be endured after you know him. He doeenit say much, but likes to put the responsibility for saying things on that wonderful Sis of his who takes elacution. He is also fond of music and, by the way, has fallen into the good HGraces of a certain ca-ed with an enraptur- ing alto voice. As Steward of the Boarding Club he incurred the displeasure of the cooks by permitting dishes and silverware to be removed by the codeds for their fetes, aroused the disgust of the Dean of Women for serving weenersii for breakfast, and drew upon himself the scorn of the co-eds for offering old bread- pudding. This gave him the notion that women were hard to please; but he smiles and takes it as an inevit- able circumstance. Business-law claims to hold his interest; but we hope that oblivion surrounding so many of that ambition will not enshroud him. GRACE BALMER ................... Plymouth, Ohio Conservatory. Entered in 1909. A few years ago, how Well we remember seeing a fair and hashing damsel step from an inter-urban car, wend her way to Wallace, enter, remain long enough for a- music lesson, then exit, meander to the car and embark for Medina. But Berea and Wallace had such charms that this damsel, Grace is her name, Grace Balmer, pern suaried her Papa to send her to Wallace as a resident student. This accomplished, she soon fell in favor with everybody; also she continued music in its several branches, taking piano, pipe organ, counterpoint, har- mony and voice. 0f the latter, two lessons 2. week. Now, Pm not kidding you, thatis straight goods-two lessons 3. week in voice. Things went along in that course till one Saturday she goes home. This event was listed as a mere iiNeWs Item in the Bereaner. But listen, when she returned on the following Tuesday she displayed on her left handeguess what, a solitaire. Nuf Bed. It's coming off in June. ESTHER BEYER .................. Watertown, Wis. Modern Classical Course. Graduate of Merrill, Wie, High School, iOB. Entered as Freshman; Y. W. C. A. Vice-President; Philomathean Valedictory Orator. Removing your eagle Bare for the moment from the capital R with which this gem of prose begins, turn it one pace to the left and observe the picture that accom- panies this verbal hing. Observe it Well. Study it With care. Then exclaim as you inevitably will exclaim, iiMy, goodness, what a high forehead and what a sam- ple of prominent perpendicular appendage below on which rests a pair of gold rimmed spectacles. Ah! here indeed learning has its thrunegin the forehead, I mean, not in the appendage. That is What the faculty thought and consequently Miss Esther was given a chair as tutor in German. Esther uses the Socratean method and many another method. uLearning is a drawing out? says she. This is accomplished by ply- ing questions and receiving answers and many are the tests she gives. 34 MAX BEYER ....................... New York City Classical Theological Course. Germania Society Secretary; President; Valedictoryr Orator; Volunteer Band Sec- retary; President; J oint Winner of German Oratorical Contest. God made the little niggers; He made them in the night; He made them in such a hurry, He forgot to make them white. Whether you believe this or not makes little differ- ence to Max. He is concerned about their souls and some day he intends to go to their native land and tell them how to do it. Understand me. Max is a member of the Volunteer Band and several other bands besides that. He plays the fiddle in the Sunday-School Orches- tra Band, the Choral Union Orchestra Band, the Ger- mania Orchestra Band and some others too, maybe. Max, like all others who are really in earnest about the work of salvation, does not wait until he finishes school to start upon his lifets work, but is at it now. He preaches whenever opportunity presents itself. HILDA GOTTFRIED ...................... Erie, Pa. Modern Classical Course. Entered as Freshman from Erie High School. Y. W. C. A. Vice-President; President; Volunteer Band Secretary. Senator German of New YOrk has several daughters and one son of whom he is mighty proud, so We are told. Daughters are a wonderful asset. There are other families of such character in the direction of the East; the family of Gottfried, for instance. A trinity of daughters from this family is at Wallace. Let us put our attention on the central one of the group, Hilda, to wit. Hilda is womanly and a host of other things that adjectives and attributes might describe her as being. And that isnt all. She has every qualification that goes to the making of a girl. Laugh? Well, I should say yes. And appreciative and empathetic; yes, this and a lot more. HERMAN P. GUHSE ................. Detroit, Mich. Modern Classical Course. Graduate of Western High School, De- troit; Germanis Secretary; Valledictizpryr Orator; Volunteer Band President; Class President; Studentsl Assembly President; Wolverine Club President; 4tW in Basket Ball; Athletic Editor of Annual. When Herman P. Guhse-pronounced Goozy, not Goo-hno-syehreezed into Berea he immediately hung up a picture of the West Detroit High football team in the middle whereof he was enthroned as captain. Stories galore he told of his ability at Basket Ball. Nor is he so dumb in Base Ball. He claims a knowl- edge of running also. Gym work also begs not to be set back. For the things he did while at Wallace, see his pedigree. And oratory, don't forget it, oratory! He is the boy who always bumps against the stars when he is crating. He is the human aeroplane. He begins as an I:ur'din:3tr3,1r orator would finish, culling fancy flowers from the garden of rhetoric and presently throwing Aa bouquet of all the gaudiest flowers of speech at his hearers. Step ing forward one pace, he exhorts his audience to folow him, and away they go, up and up until the whole kit and boodle are gyrat- ing about the circumambient ether, then suddenly he explodes into a vast constellation of surpassing guff and the audience gasps and wonders what it was all about. 35 REINHOLD HAUBRICH. . . . . ......... Kenosha, Wis. Modern Classical Course. Graduate Cammercial Department Ger- man Wallace College with degree of B. C. 3.; tGoethe Society Viee-President; Presi- en . Virginia had her Washington, Kentucky had her Clay, and Wisconsin has her-let me see-has her-has hereit must be a word of two syllables with the ac- cent on the first-Wisconsin has her-her Haubrich. There we have it. Hooray! What, you havent heard of Haubrich? Well, your education is sadly neg- lected. Haubrich is just beginning to be great. Now, mark you, I will show you true signs of greatness. The saying goes that a prophet is without honor in his own land. Not always. Hear me! Rheinhold came from Wisconsin, he studies at Wallace, he returns to Wis- consin and immediately he lands a job as teacher. See there, a prophet honored in his own land. Not so? Yes indeedy. OSCAR HUND ................... Marine City, Mich. Modern Classical Course. Germania Society Secretary; President; Wallace Guardsl Sergeant; Quartermas- ter Sergeant; Second Lieutenant; Y. M. C. A. President; Athletic Association President; Comic Editor on Annual Board. Track Team. Oscar was born in Michigan, which starts him out right, and while talking about starts we well remember his start at Wallace. You know that stone walk that leads around the side of the Boarding Club to Ash Can Boulevard behind the dormitory. Here is where we first, or rather, Where Oscar first saw Wallace. He had taken the precaution to buy some cakes on his way to the dormitory and, like Benj. Franklin, was nibbling as he proceeded along. Franklin later became a great and honored man and now that Oscar has followad in his footsteps so far, there is no telling but that he too may yet become great. But let us to more solemn facts. Oscar has an aim in life and everything he does is directed toward this aim. GUSTAV J . KALETSGH ................ Berea, Ohio Modern Classical Course. Entered as Freshman from Ohio Me- chanics Institute, Cincinnati, Ohio. Goethe Society Secretary; President; T rack Team; W in Basket Ball; Wallace Guards Sergeant; Editor of Students' Sec- tion in Bereaner; Editor in Chief of An- nual; Winner English Oratorical Contest. Modesty, of course, forbids the editor of an Annual to say anything about himself. And, as the space must be filled and the printer must have copy, the oflice boy begs leave to submit this oratorical persihage. ilThe Subject of my remarks is Gloomy Gus. Born in Ken- tucky, raised in a. high chair, exercised in a perambu- later, saphisticated in Cincinnati and educated in Miss Akinsl history class, he stands before the world today as the man, Whose mania for statistics gave to mankind the greatest truth of all the ages, namely, that the favorite drink of Wallace students is French tea. The muse of history will put down Krueger: as the cham- pion 0f the tennis courts and Wiedemann as the best clog-dancer of all time: then dipping her pen in the sun- light, she will write in the clear blue above them all,- the name of the Y. M. C. A. basket ball star, the cuontawn comedian and the Dietsch Hall has-heenm Gloomy Guslll 36 JOHN KRILL ....................... Edgerton, Ohio Modern Classical Course. Graduate of Edgerton High School and entered Wallace in '10. One man refused to have anything to do with this annual whatsoever, and has set his stamp of disap- proval on the Junior Class, thus stamping the Jory Rory mark on this highly digniiied bunch of digs. But that is neither here nor there, for the stamp never took. The hunch is not all bad. No, there is at least one good one, and 0h! he is goody, good, good. John is his name. To see him in class, in church land be it said John never misses eitherl, at a basket ball game, anywhere, John is always the same. Now thatls going same, but itis true. John looks the part. That benign, unsophisticated, naive expression of a smile on his countenance bids fair to rival that of Mona Liza. There is never a day when John does not know his lesson. MYREL REYNOLDS .............. Spencerville, Ohio Modern Classical Course. Graduate Spencewille High School, 09. Entered Wallace, ,09. Y. W. C. A. Presi- dent; Philo. Society Vice-President. Stately, majestically, august, with all due dignity and pomp that would beiit any queen, Myrel moves about at all social doings and clear down through the scale of functions to Y. W. C. A. prayer meetings. And this isnt all put on, either. Not on your tin-type. Itis inert. Just look where she comes from! Spencerville! 'There, thatls enough. No more questions, please. Whatis that? Where is Spencerville? Now, donlt dis- play your ignorance. SDencerville is on the center of the earth. Washington, for instance, is midway be- tween 103 east thereof and Spencerville. Now we have Washington located. And yet we canlt find Spencer- ville on the County map. Makes no difference. If we could judge Spencerville by the people from there. Myrel, for instance, then said Spencerville is a capital city. FRIEDA ROGATZKY ........... Louisville, Kentucky Modern Classical Course. Graduate Shortridge High School. In- dianapolis, Ind., l09. Post Graduate Course in Louisville Girls1 High School, llO. Entered Wallace as Junior; Students' Assembly Secretary; Philomathean So- ciety Vice-President; Valedictory Orator; Junior Class Vice-Pi'esident; Social and Organization Editor of Annual. Cousin Frieda, as some of us know her, because her cousin Gus, the editor of the Annual persists in calling her that, had lots to contend with when she entered Wallace. Cousin Friedals sister Emma. graduated here last year and Emma was mighty popular. But cousin Frieda took this rep and used it as a pedestal for her career. And talk about reps, why, in the short time she is here she has made the rep of being the best stylist among the students. She is associate editor of this Annual and some of her literary efforts can be seen within these covers. 37 ROLAND SCHAEFER. . . . . . . . . Milwaukee, Wisconsin Ancient Classical Course. Entered from Michigan Cityr High School, 438. Goethe Society Secretary; Vice-President; Y. M. C. A. Vice-Presi- dent; Business Manager of Annual. Deprived quite rnereiiz'ullyr of the power of seeing our- selves as others see us, we still retain the consolation of seeing ourselves, which in various circumstances, helps some. At that, the extreme clarity of vision that enables us to diagnose ourselves is sadly lacking. We are no stern critics of ourselves. Bearing this in mind, how refreshing it is to stumble across a man who knows himself. Such is Roland Schaefer. And he doesnt miss it either, in fact, heis quite correct, barring, of course, personal errors to which we are all prone. Just a few questions will show the facts. Where were you horn? Wisconsin. See how true he estimates. How old are you? As old as my finger. Gentle reader, notice how unHinchingly he answers. Do you like girls?eHere, kind reader, the interview was broken. Let us add that Roland is running the business end of this Annual. CHIA KWANG SHAW ............. .Kiukiang, China Scientific Course. Graduate of Wm. Nest College, China, 10. Entered Wallace, 11. Stories have been brought to us years ago that ori- entals from the Celestial Kingdom were exceedingly polite, politeness personified in fact. If such is true, then Shaw is personified politeness steeped to the Nth powar. A perfect and true gentleman is Chia Kwang at all times. There is a reason for all this. What can it be? We have a solution to offer. Chia Kwang is- listen now, everybodyeGhia Kwang is married. Wonder if his wife had anything to do with his being so gentle and good? In the land from where Shaw hails the wife is decidedly under the direction of hubby, so they say, but who knows if in the secret of the Shaw household tables were not turned. It is the only explanation We iind plausible for Chia Kwangis quiet disposition. ALMA SOMMERS ...................... Berea, Ohio Modern Classical Course. Graduate of Le Roy High School, i09; entered Wallace, ,11; Philomathean Sec- retary. Alma the amiable. How nice that would look on his- toryis page. Alma. the amiable, when repeated, it just ripples, tripples, hows like the gentle flowing brooklet. Alma the amiable. No blare of trumpets, no big ado, no boisterous talk, no rustling of skirts that so often announces the arrival of a dashing college girl, no babbling tongue nor silly giggle-none of these are ex- hibited when Alma enters the circle of friends. But sheis there and soon you are aware of it. Alma never said what she intended to do. Most girls talk about being teacher or governess or something like that, but Alma must surely have her plans well laid. We have an inkling of an idea that she knows what she is about. for a certain young man has been paying devoted at- tentions to her. 38 SHANG SUNG TANG .............. Kiukiang, China. Scientific Course. Graduate William Nast College, China, iOS: entered Wallace as Freshman, ,10. Pete is his itMellican'l name. His right name, the name he got When he was baptized or whatever they do to little babies in China is Shang Sung. Like his fellow countryman Shaw, he is a. thorough gentleman. A tall: with Pete would not progress far until the sub- ject would turn to Science. It makes no difference of what you start talking, anything from cabbages to kingdoms, Pete sooner or later will ring in Science, and a special branch thereof which is mining. Pete is now studying the Sciences as a preparation for Mining Engi- neering, for which his native country, China, offers great opportunities. Here's luck to Pete. NELDA THOMS ............... Indianapolis, Indiana Modern Classical Course. Graduate of Shortridge High School, Indianapolis, i09. Entered Wallace, 10. Philomathean Society President; Indi- ana Club Secretary. Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Last chance! Last call! Fair warning! And the band wagon rolled on. This call was made, or heralded, 01' proclaimed, or whatever you want to call it, at the end of Semester 1. And you should have seen the rush. Everybody tried to get in the band box. For such it is. The Juniors are making: things hustle. But what has this to do with Nelda? Here it is. Nelda could arrange her studies so as to either be a Senior or join the illustrious class of 1913, Now what does she do? Let me tell you. Nelda is sensible and wise for, mark you, with sagacious wisdom she chose to he a Junior and now she is duly incor- porated with the illustrious class of 1913 of German Wallace College, Berea, 0., U. S. A. ROSINA CHARLOTTE WEHKING ..... Nashville, Ill. Modern Classical Course. Graduate of Chicago Training School for City, Home and Foreign Missions, '09. Philomathean Vice-President; President. When the nVlihtn'neifs Deani' dramatically gave utter- ance in clarion tones that bounded and rebounded over the heads of the audience as they sat in breathless silence listening to words of this eifect: iiMothers, send your daughters to German Wallace, and I will be as a mother unto them ; she little thought that her hearty appeal would bear fruit as it did. In this audience sat Rose and, by the way, Rosina, as she spells it, is a beauw tiful nameeat any rate Rose heard this appeal and follOWed. She had already been to High School and to Training School, but she believed a more thorough train- ing would he to her advantage and when she heard that appeal, good gracious, no one could resist and so Rose came to Wallace in quest of more knowledge. 39 OSCAR WESLEY .............. Bethelridge, Kentucky Modern Classical Course. ' Graduate of Union College Academic Department, tlU entered as Sophomore at Wallace, tll. A com cracker, lean and lank, the Lincoln type, that's Wesley. Surrounded With all the mysterious lore such as only the state of Kentucky affords, stocked with hair- raising stories of gun fights and feuds, and filled with that stick-to-it-ive-ness so peculiar to that section of the country, Oscar scurried into Wallace. He had smacked of the waters of learning in dear old Kentuck, but said he, Me for the honey, the nectar of knowledge. So he ups and tramps to Wisconsin. Now that was a foolish move, because nearly everybody in Wisconsin who is wise comes to Wallace for still more wisdom. Of course, Oscar was disappointed in Wisconsin and lending ear to good advice came to Wallace. And like Andrew, the apostle, when he found a goat! thing, told his brother Peter, SCI Oscar told his brother about Wallace and now he is here too. LILA WERNICKE ................. . . . . . Berea, Ohio Conservatory. Entered Wallace in '10. Queen of the Fete. This must be explained. Berea. had a carnival, a ttI-Iomecoming Week: the first in its history. And for this festivity a Queen of the Carni- val was elected by popular vote, resulting in the chaos: ing of Lila. And take it from us, the vote was not amiss. Lila is the most popular girl in Berea and a queen in every sense of the word. And play, play piano! Say, but that girl can play. She just makes it talk. Shetll take it up with anybody around here when it comes to playing piano, and Berea is some musi- cal burg. ROBERT WILKOWSKE. . ...... Manitowoc, Wisconsin Modern Classical Course. Graduate in Short Agricultural Course, Wisconsin University, N35. Entered Wal- lace, iD'f. Goethe Society Secretary; Vice- President; President. Ever since we knew Bob, we associated him With a certain character in Greek lore. Opportunity was the fellowis name, if our memory serves 115 right. You know Opportunity is pictured as having a bald head with a small tuft of hair in front, a. forelock that pre- ceded him as he ran along. Now we donit mean to say that Bobis head is bald, but he has the foreloek. Yes, indeedy, Bob nurtured and petted that forelock for all it was worth. And, like Opportunity, he was mostly seen alone looking neither to the right or left, slightly tilted forward to give equilibrium in his speed and pre- ceding 9.11 was that curled lock of hair. Say, but Bob has a crop of hair; thick and curly, not too curly, but just-Wtall, just the kind girls like to run their fingers through. But, strange enough, Bob don ; seem to care much for girls. Thatis where you are wrong. Bet chersweetlife Bob never misses a Tuesday morning mail. Bob knows what he is about. He needs a girl because he needs a wife, because Bob will be a preacher some day, and a preacher without a wife iwwall, did you ever hear of such a thing? RUDOLF ZOLLIKER ............ Zuerich, Switzerland Scientific Course. Entered Wallace, iOB. Sergeant Wal- lace Guards. Whiskers have but two real purposes. All others ascribed for them are spurious. They are worn either tat for ambush, or ibi to deceive. Many a man Who has hallowed his face in hair uses his whiskers to hide behind, darting out now and then to impale some passer- by on whom he has designs. Many another man grows whiskers with the misguided idea of adding to his per- sonal tout ememble, whereby the deception comes in. But it is the man who wears iem who is deceivede nobody else. Bearing these fearless truths in mind, it need be only said that aniiker has made repeated, pro- tracted and perceptible attempts to raise an appendage to his upper lip, but his success so far has been only penurious. Rudolf was born in Switgerland, a little country across the big creek. He thinks Uncle Semis protection is worth more to him than that of dear old i'Vaterland, so he has taken out his second naturaliza- tion papers. He is studious and willing. But What- ever he attaches to himself in the way of knowledge or politicallyeabove all this his mustache is his great est asset. 41 G. W. C.

Through my mind iiitted a panorama wherein were many people whom I recognized as Freshmen of 1911. They were vigorous and verdant, but, on account of the newness of their surroundings were sad, scared and homesick. Soon the upper classmen rushed upon the scene and the Freshmen were vigorously t1amfsatzed. This medicine was swallowed but :it created the dire disease, ttRevenge, and a few months later the sound of revelry floated on the midnight air, as the glorious banner of 1914 was hoisted to the summit of the fiag-pole, and there it waved triumphantly. Then and there were united efforts more fervently consecrated in a desire to win 3. 11Rep for 114. In athletics and social aifairs they met with success although they never forgot, along with their other accomplishments, that they were sent to college to acquire a goodly amount of intellectual development. IT was a beautiful evening in February and as I Iounged on the Commencement with its joys and sorrows glided past and after vacation I saw how the ship ,14 became a mighty cruiser on the turbulent sea of college life. Its crew, numbering twenty-two, selected Mr. Drescher and Miss Lemke as pilots, while from the masts fluttered a banner of black and gold inscribed with Dum Vivimus, Vivamus. During their cruise they won many honors, such as the offices of president, vice-president and secretary of the Literary Societies, president of the Theological Society, important Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. emcee, president of the Athletic Association and Philo Valedictorian 110. Lo! at this moment a silvery cloud sailed slowly past and among its shining folds stood the president of G. W. C. in cap and gown. When he raised his hands as if in blessing he was heard to say. '1Here's to you, 1914! You have set the pace well: now keep your stride. You are at present but a youth but I see in you the promise of great men and women. May you do your share of the work in the world as faithfully and well as you have accepted your responsibilities in college? The itsophst responded with the honor yell and its echoes had scarcely died away when the evening air reverberated with- 11Sousa-ma-racka-ma-racka-ma-reen ! Sousa-ma-raeka-ma-raeka-ma-reen !

In this direction it has done an infinite amount of good. As a college Y. M. C. A. it ranks as one of the best in the state. During the past year it had a higher average of students participating in the several activities, viz., Bible Study, Mission Study, etc., than any other college organization in the state of Ohio.

CABINET E. w. 0L. g, The Young Women's Christian Association of German Wallace College was organized in the fall of 1910 with a membership of thirty-two. Up to that time the young women were connected with the local Y. M. C. A. as an auxiliary. Although they were greatly benefited by this, the need of a separate organization was felt by many and resulted in the birth of an association for young women. At iirst independent of the National Organization, the young women later realized the desirability of an afhlia- tion with that body, in the benefits which are to be derived from the visits of the State Secretary, the literature which is sent regularly from the National Headquarters and from the attendance of conventions and summer conferences. The members are all ttlive Wires in the work of the organization and show a keen interest in the weekly meetings. Several lectures by outside speakers have been greatly enjoyed, such as: 11Christian Service, by Miss Litzel, of the Cincinnati Training School; tPersonal Work, by Miss Krauter of Cleveland; and the White Slave Trafhc, by Miss Lucy Hall of the 'tMidnight Mission of Chicago, Ill.

The realization of the above motto has been the aim of the Student Volunteer Movement ever since its organization in 1886, and the aim of our local Band since its existence in 1906. At the present we have fouirteen members, men and women whose earnest purpose is ttIf God permit, to become a foreign missionary. In fulfillment of this purpose we are endeavoring by our weekly meetings, which are largely of a devotional character, to cultivate the highest standard of Christian character and fellowship; to become more firmly established in our purpose, so that we might uPress to the Field with an Effective Life.n 68 STUDENT SENATE Qtuhent stemhly Organized May 9th,1911 The Student Assembly is the youngest organization at school. Con- sequently it is not surrounded with the wealth of tradition that makes some of our other societies occupy such large places in our affections. Nevertheless it has all the possibilities of youth. Much Can be expected from an organization of its kind for it supplies the most natural means of expressing student opinion. It makes possible a firmer feeling of unity which is the first condition of true school spirit. The Students, Senate, composed of representatives from the faculty and students, is a. real advantage in that it aifords a common body in which both of these factors in our college lif e can meet and discuss measures for improvement. Beside a social worth the assembly has also a practical aim. A scheme has been devised whereby athletic expenses may be reduced to a minimum. It is to be hoped that the sphere of influence of the assembly Will be widened so as to include every phase of college activity. Officers of the Assembly President .............................. H.

Harms, who at that time was Professor in the G. W. C. School of Commerce. Attempts were made to secure an officer of the U. S. A. to conduct the drill, but When this failed Mr. Herms was persuaded to take charge of the company drill. It was a success from the very beginning and to this day has been the means of promoting health and vigor among the participants. Through the generosity of Mr. C. A. Vogt and brother of Cleveland, 3. complete equipment was secured. The drill is conducted on strict military basis, with a full quota of able officers. Both practical and theoretical instructions are given. Several sham battles are a special feature each year. The infantry drill regulations of the United States Army are used.

To this organization not only the graduates are permitted to hold membership but all students who had ever attended German Wallace are eligible. It is an organization that closely unites the widely scattered alumni of the college and is a medium of keeping them in touch with the progress of the school. OFFICERS President ..................

Its aim has been to cultivate a greater desire and deeper appreciation in the community of classical music. Untir- ing eiforts have been put forth by both director and players in the weekly rehearsals, as has been evidenced by the artistic rendition of Beethovenis ttFirst Symphonyt and Schubertis iUnfinished Symphony, and also in the skillful interpretation of lighter, more graceful works, such as Dvorahts 'iHumoreske,ti Moszkowskits tiFirst Spanish Dance and Hoffmants tBarcerole. The Orchestra has been a means of great pleasure and edification during the past year and we hope that it .may have a long and successful career. . Director ................ Prof. Albert Riemenschneider mineral anion The Choral Union was organized in 1902 to study the oratories and contatas of the great masters and to further musical taste and education in Berea. The soaiety had as its first director. Prof. F. W. Schneider, who was succeeded in 1908 by Prof. Albert Riemenschneider. At present the Choral Union numbers one hundred five members and under Prof. Riemenschneideris patient and masterly guidance is able to hold its own with the best choral organizations in the state. Among the works which have been rendered by this organization are. the following. Haendel's Messiah and Samson? Haydn's Creation'i and 'tSeasons, Mendels- sohnts Christus, ttHymn of Praise and ttElijah, Cowents ttRose Maiden? Gounodis Redemption and Webers tiIn Constant Order. Director ................

Miss Ethel Mattison 7S CHORAL UNION J ORATOHY AND DEBATE Although Oratory and Debate were fostered at German Wallace ever since the birth of this institution, it. was not carried on in such a large scale as has been the case since 1907. Previous to that year not a little attention was paid to these arts in the various literary societies. But in Spring of 1907 a public contest in oratory was held at which four prizes were awarded 0f flfteen dollars and ten dollars to those who ranked first and second in both the English and German contest. The prize money consisting of fifty dollars was donated in 1907 by Mrs. J. C. Matting 0f Berea, 0.; 1908 and 1909 by Mr. Pfaffmann of Cleveland, and in 1910 by Mr. Vogt of Cleveland, Ohio. This year witnessed the first public interesociety debate, the con- testants being: Messrs. Guhse, Irwin and Guenther 0f the Germania Society, and Messrs. Michel, Wood and Speckmann of the Schiller Society. The Germania Society, upholding the afflrmative side of the question: 2Resolved, that the Opposition of the Labor Union to the Open Shop is J ustihable, won.

The faculty was present as of old with the invaluable additions of Dr. Speekmann and Professor Chrisman; old students there were who appeared perfectly at ease in their surroundings, and many new ones who entered on this scene of light with fear and trembling. It was not long before each who had come with a purpose found his place and the routine of classes and study began in earnest. As a little reminder, however, that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, a most delightful hayuride party was planned for Hallo-er-en night by ten Goethe boys. Moonlight, a jolly crowd, a good dinner at Dover Inn, were all that was needed to make a perfect time. Thanksgiving came and with it all who possibly could took the earliest train out of Berea, leaving the campus well-nigh desolate. But those who remained had one delightful tale to tell when the wanderers returned, for the poverty party given by the Schillers on Thanksgiving evening Was undeniably a great success. The evening of December first brought all the alumni within easy reach of Cleveland to that city to enjoy the annual banquet of the ex- Bereaners of N orthern Ohio. After a substantial meal had been partaken of a teast was given on Wallaee-Forty Years Ago, by Dr. Karl Riemen- schneider, and equally interesting was the one on Wallacee'l'odayii by President Arthur L. Breslich. With the return of the students after Christmas came the festive spirit of the holidays and there was no lull in the social activities. Parties Were given by the State Clubs, that of the Wisconsin Club being on the eve of the departure of one of its most popular members, uBish Mueller. These were followed in quick succession by Class functions, among which the Leap Year Party of the Sophomores stands out as unique and original. Taking advantage of the excellent sleighing, bob sled parties were given by the girls of Dietsch Hall and by the Freshman Class in the former, of which Prof. Chrisman established his enviable reputation as ehaperon. The Germania boys entertained the Philomatheans in the delightful fashion which is characteristic of them on the evening of February thirteenth. Change is rest indeed and thus lectures, concerts and sociable evenings yielded complete relaxation from the daily grind, thereby rendering each one stronger and better fitted to face the great tasks of daily life. 83 $tubent 1m Aish, Gertrude .............

Irwin .............................. Captain $Entral View of athletics F one rightly considers the hard and trying times of former Ger- man Wallace College athletic aspirants, their unflinching struggle against the mighty odds of a poor gymnasium, the lack of an athletic field, little equipment and still less sympathy and aid from the authorities, he cannot help but find the keynote t0 the unsteady stride of the past. Although former efforts were usually crowned with consider- able success, yet the true status of our athletic ability could never be judged or ascertained. .A few cracking good athletes, with extraordinary natural ability or former training at another institution, have always held our athletic prestige far above reproach, in the collegiate circle of Ohio. ' The time has come, however, when Such objections are no longer valid. Never again shall we be in the predicament of a void athletic equipment to shapen the timber of latent athletic prowess. This year has crystalized the visions and hopes of hundreds of loyal Wallace athletes, past and present, has unlocked the storehouse of new fame and remark- able achievement, and put us face to face with a iiNew Era. For are not a large athletic field and a grand new gymnasium harbingers of unmeasured possibilities, clothed in most favorable apparel? By the time you read this ilGrindstone our new thirteen acre athletic held will be equipped with a running track, tennis, basket-ball, and hand-ball courts and a perfect diamond, and will only need the wear and tear of time and use to perfect it. According to all indications our new itTurnsaal will also be under construction and ready by September, 1912. Our athletic association, through constant improvements, has put itself on par with first class standards and regulations of athletic bodies, to meet the new demands of German Wallace College system, which shall henceforth be a greater force in Ohio statels athletics. All teams and contests are under the strict supervision of this association. Thus far we could not employ coaches for our teams, but an effort was always made to elect captains who could act in that capacity. Strict provisions of the charter make it a high honor to earn the ohieial college emblem, which is presented together with a sweater or coat. The membership of this association is open to all students of good standing and has only a small fee. Most of our students are active members and avail themselves of full privileges. HERMAN P. GUHSE. 91 BASKET' BALL 1335132; 335111 3321mm basket ball team in the fall of 1911, over 25 men responded. These men comprised as good a bunch of basket ball material as could be' desired, but with the lack of a physical director or coach and a suitable gymnasium the most of these candidates have shown little or no development at the close of the season. It was actually sur- prising to see the great number of fellowe at German Wallace College who played basket ball during the season just closed, and it is to be . regretted that Wallace has not an athletic coach. If present plans mate- rialize, our basket ball team will be able to play their games in their own gymnasium next year and the use of Bereals dirty armory without conveniences of any kind will be done away with. ajHEN Captain Guhse issued his first call for candidates for the At-the beginning of the school year Ed. Allinger, ,13, was chosen basket ball manager and Herman Gulise, '13, captain of the team. Guhse had won his letter the previous year and was an ideal leader. Filter, Lash and Bockstahler of last yearls team also returned to school, and an excellent team was built up about this nucleus. The squad was certainly blessed with good guards but the forward positions gave the captain all sorts of trouble. Lash was changed from center to forward and finally Captain Guhse decided to play the other forward himself. Speckmann, a hrst year man, and Kaletsch, a former varsity man, were tried out at center. Kaletsch played in two games and then quit basket ball, Speck- mann playing the center position for the remainder of the year. The season opened on December 15 with West Y. M. C. A. of Cleve- land as our opponents on the home floor. After getting away with a 16-15 lead in the first half, Wallace finally lost out 38-25. Hiram College, with their old championship aggregation, had little trouble in defeating German Wallace College 5521. Playing against five men and the referee, Wallace lost a hard fought game to Buchtel at Akron by the score of 36-30. Balde 92 win University had opened her season by losing to the Akron Y. M. C. A. team by a score of 84-14. 011 J anuary 13, German Wallace College jour- neyed to Akron to play this same team. After a whirlwind first half, which ended with a tie score, Akron finally managed to win out through the substitution of fresh men near the end of the game. The score was 42-24. With a record of four defeats against them, Wallace went to Cleveland on January 17 to play Western Reserve University. The game was fast and exciting all the way and Wallace managed to land on top with a 37-29 score in their favor. Guhse was the star of the contest. Three days later we went to Mansfield to play the strong Mansfield Y. M. C. A. team, which had defeated some of the best teams in the central part of the state, and German Wallace College succumbed to a 57-35 score. Back on their home floor again and with every man playing the game of his life, Wallace defeated the Reserve Dental School team by the overwhelming score of 57-16. Lash and Speckmann each scored seven baskets, while Guhse scored a total of 21 points. On February 21 Western Reserve came for the return game. It was a struggle that Berea fans will remember for a long time to comHensa- tional in the extreme. At the end of the first period Wallace was one point in the lead, but at the end of the game Reserve had reversed the tables and German Wallace College had the short end of a 28-27 score. The season ended with a two day trip to Cedarville College and Capitol University at Columbus. Wallace had defeated Cedarville by a large score the previous year but now the down-state team turned the tables and Wallace lost, 42-33. On the following evening occurred what the Ohio State Journal termed the fastest game seen in Columbus in two years. Wallace played desperately and won out by a score of 3533. On reading this summary of the season, one is inclined to think that it was a disastrous season for German Wallace. In reality it was just the contrary. When one takes into consideration the calibre and standing of teams opposed to us, one is really struck with admiration for a team that has never been coached and has had all its practice in a dry-goods box of a gymnasium and which nevertheless has the courage and audacity to play teams which are coached by men who draw a larger salary for the basket ball season than a German Wallace professor does for the entire year! It is to be deplored that Y. M. C. A. teams were on our schedule, yet most of the Ohio conference colleges refused to play teams outside of the conference and it was necessary to fill up the schedule. Our team was clearly superior to Wooster, Otterbein and Ohio Col- lege, as these teams were defeated by Reserve, and Wallace was one of the very few Ohio teams to win from Reserve. Ohio Wesleyan University claimed the state championship by virtue of a victory over Ohio State, yet the Delaware team defeated Reserve only by the same score that German Wallace College did. To further show the calibre of the teams we played, it is only necessary to mention that Hiram claimed the cham- pionship of the colleges outside of the conference, and Akron Y claimed the state Y. M. C. A. title. 93 Lash was the scoring mainstay of the team. Playing the game for all he was worth till the final blow of the whistle, he stands on a par with the best Ohio collegiate forwards. In the writefs opinion if Lash should come under the tutelage of a coach next year, he will develop into a man who could win a position on any college team in the state. He scored 43 baskets during the season, an average of 4.3 baskets per game. Captain Guhse, handicapped by the fact that he was forced to play forward when his real position was guard, nevertheless was the most finished player on the team. Especially strong in dribbling and dodging, he was a terror for opposing guards. When German Wallace College showed some brill- iant team-work, it was usually Guhse who got the plays started. He scored 33 field goals and 52 free throws. Speckmann showed great form for a first year man and promises to develop into a center on the type of Wilker of the champion 1907 team. Speck scored a total of 39 goals in eight games. Filter played a running guard and besides holding his man down in every game also managed to score 14 baskets. For his small stature, Filter plays a remarkably fast and clever game. Bock- stahler played the defensive guard and played a steady game all season. Kaletech played in the two Akron games and scored three baskets. Fruegefll' held down the sub position and promises to develop into a fast orwar . A few words might be said of the excellent reputation that the German Wallace team earned as clean, gentlemanly players, on or 0E the floor. Personal fouls were rare on German Wallace College players, and in the Akron Y game but one foul was called on Wallace. Manager Allinger, because of other duties, was unable to accompany the team on the trips, but he deserves commendation for the the excellent schedule and for the satisfactory state of the basket ball treasury at the close of the season. WALTER J . LEMKE, Official 1908-1912. Much credit for the tearrfs fast and clean playing must be attributed to the above writer. ttWalti' has been with the German Wallace College basket ball teams for the last five seasons, and has not only a local, but also state-wide reputation as an excellent ohioial.

They opened their season on Nov. 30 by defeating Berea High School 36-8. Lash and Ott scored the Prep points. On Dec. 15 the Preps gave the Freshmen an awful beating, 16-4. The Y. M. C. A. team next tackled the under-classmen, but the Preps won this game also, 16-8. Lash and Bobolin did the scoring. The Preps lined up with A. Ott at center; Lash. Bobilin, Chase and W.

The Freshmen lost to the Preps and also lost two games to Berea High School. Phillipp played center; Speckmann, Bowser and Schleuniger, forwards; Weber, Wolfe and Moehlman, guards. Michel and Werner also played on the Freshman team. f. m. 012. 9. mm The Y. M. C. A. basket ball team was organized late in the season and never really hit their stride.

Lenka manna: wins UST as basket ball interest far surpasses all other indoor athletics and gymnastics at German Wallace College, so tennis hnds prefer- U ence over all outdoor activities, not even excepting track and base- ball. We have three first class courts, two for the boys and the other for the girls. The fact that the courts are always occupied, when in good condition, during playing hours, five until seven A. M., and from three until dark, shows that the game is by far the most popular pastime, and enjoyed by nearly all our students. Every Spring we have a grand wind-up in the form of a tournament, and every one is at liberty to test his ability and find out his relative standing and position as compared to the stars of the game. Two defeats eliminate a player, and the number gradually Sifts down to two, who play for the championship title and the college letter. Sixteen men entered our last tournament, creating much interest and competition. Twelve of these men were soon eliminated, leaving Vollen- weider, Lemke, Lash and Guhse as the varsity team. Next hVolIett and Guhse trimmed Lash in turn. Vollenweider had carried away tennis honors two years previous, but due to overwork and lack of practice, was not in his former pink of condition at any time during the whole season. The record of his final games which eliminated him, were: Lemke vs. Vollef, 6-0, 7-5; Guhse vs. t'Volle, 6-4, 3-6, 6-4. After a hard and tedious battle, ttWalt and ttHerm evened up mat- ters with one another, the latter winning a 6-4, 3-6, 8-6 game. The tricky ' Wisconsiner and the green Michigander having each lost one game, a match was arranged for Monday A. M. of commencement week to decide the championship. The accurate serves, clever returns and superior ability in general, wrought by several years of experience. easily entitled ttWalt to the honors of the title, which the final victory of 6-2, 1-6, 7-5 over Guhse, gave to him. HORSE POWER. 102 Wrath 05th rejuvenation in the next year or two. We are now possessed of all the equipment necessary for developing a first class team. We have the new athletic field, purchased last Fall, for outdoor work of every description. A quarter mile track will be laid out and put into commission this season, and the new gymnasium will have the best facili- ties obtainable for training along indoor lines. Wallace always has a strong basket ball team, and as basket ball is the best possible developer for track, the men who wish to participate have a constant opportunity to keep in trim during the winter months. Thus much training usually undergone to bring a. man into condition is not necessary, as he will be fit, as soon as the weather will allow, to begin active outdoor work. This year a. great amount of material has lain dormant, simply wait- ing for a chance to develop, but we can safely say that 12-13 will mark an epoch in the track history of German Wallace College, and if you have any track material in you at all you will be given an opportunityr to display it. Among the men in School this year who are known to have ability along track lines are Vollenweider, Irwin, Guhse, Lash and Phillipp in the sprints; Filter, A. Ott, Speckmann, Lash, Akins in distant running; Hund, Irwin, Lash, Vollenweider, Speckmann and Guhse in high jump, broad jump and pole-vault; Hund, Bockstahler and Guhse in weights. Irwin, who is a hurdler, sprinter and high jumper, was selected captain. Most of these men will return and with the new material, which we expect, it is a certainty that Wallace will make herself felt in state track circles. But it is also an equal certainty that unless it is pushed with a vim it will fall flat. Come back to school next year determined to make track work a success. There will no longer be the excuse of lack of facilities and if track doesnit boom next year we will be to blame.

Baldwin had an athletic field and naturally was the rallying spot for Berea collegiate efforts. In fact, Baldwin-Wallace turned out state champion teams and won many an honor in baseball. A splendid diamond on our own athletic field now invites us to stir up the embers of former days, to quicken German Wallace College spirit in this national sport, and to make a new mark for Wallace. E. H. Guenther has been elected manager and Henry Lash captain for the season of 1912. Our prospects for a good team are somewhat hampered this year because of the lack of a battery; we are in hopes of developing men, however. Wemmer, A. Ott and Speckmann are out for the receiverts job, while Nester, W. Ott, Bockstahler and Werner are trying their twirling ability. Our infleld has promising men in Lash, Guhse, Staudenbaur, Krill, Filter and Bockram. We are also well. supplied with fielding mate- rial and taking into consideration the new men of September, ,12, we ought to turn out a good winning team in 1913. H. P.

Much interest is manifested in this essential phase of bodily training, and equally as much enthusiasm prevails in basket ball. It is deplorable that conditions have not warranted public games this year. The new hopes and aspirations of other departments of athletics, as mentioned above, also fill the hearts of our girls, and the promise of a new era in their physical activities is no longer an unfulfilled one. Many assets for varied activities will create new interest in untried Sports. The large gymnasium will oifer indoor tennis and volleyr ball, as well as adequate opportunity to play basket ball as it should be played. The athletic field will afford the pleasure of girls, field hockey, outdoor basket ball and many other things. From next fall on the fairer sex of Wallace ought to 100m up strongly in athletics and gymnastics, as a vital factor in good. wholesome college life. HERM. 108 Zinauguratinn emu Qantas tTaken from Bets: Enterprise of April 4. 19121 Last week was one long to be remem- bered in the educational history of Berea, the occasion making it noteworthy, being the inauguration of Dr. Arthur Breslich as presi- dent of German Wallace College and The Nest Theological Seminary. The holding of an inaugural ceremony at German Wallace is in line with the custom of all of the leading institutions of the country and is evidence of the fact that the college keeps step with the march of progress. Friday was the day of the inauguration proper. At ten otclock the procession which consisted of the faculty and the distinguished Visitors in academic robes, followed by the student body, marched from The decitation Hall to the chapel where the exerc1ses were held. The presiding officer was the honored president of the Board of Trustees, Rev. Albert J. Nast, D. D. Three notable addresses marked the occasion, the first of which was by Rev. Thomas Nicholson, D. D., Secretary of the Board of Education of the M. E. Church, who for over an hour delighted the audience with his eloquence. After the address of Dr. Nicholson, Bishop J ohn L. Nuelson, LL. D., delivered an impressive charge to President Breslich, who responded with an able address entitled. ttEducationaI Problems Con- fronting the Church. The banquet in the afternoon was not only successful on account of the sumptuous repast served by a Cleveland caterer but also will be remem- bered by many because of the brilliant and scintilating addresses made by the speakers of the afternoon. The Choral Union and Orchestra con- cert in the evening was a fitting climax to a glorious day. The three leading features of Saturday were the trusteest meeting, the conference of the college presidents of the German M. E. Church and the Y. M. C. A. meeting. The trustees decided to begin work at once on the two new buildingwa gymnasium and a Conservatory for the School of Music with auditorium attached. Both of these buildings will be upto- date in every respect and together will cost over $50,000. On Sunday morning Bishop Nuelson, who is regarded as the scholar of the board of bishops, preached an eloquent and inspiring sermon. At the evening services two thoughtful and Scholarly addresses were given by Rev. Christian Hohn, Ph. 13., President of Charles City College, Charles City, Iowa, and Rev. Otto Kriege, D. D., President of Central Wesleyan University, Warrenton, Missouri. The inauguration will long be remembered by all who were able to attend the exercises. From every standpoint it was beneficial to the col- lege. Trustees, faculty, students, alumni and friends are full of Wallace spirit. 110 Offlcial Yell Rah! Rah! Wahl H001. Wah! Wallace College. Sis!

My dear Heme, I just fought Pd tell yer a thing er two about th' place I landed at, I mean German Wallace College. When I landed here, there wuz a guy at thl depo what gives me thI glad hand anl takes me satchel. He says ter me, IICome along Freshie, ant I goes and begins ter think uv th? advice mi mudder gave me bTore I left th, house. She sez I should look out fer guys what wants ter take yer satchel and I gets the shivers in th' feet. But he wuz all rite an' took me to thl Wallace dorm. About the fust ?ng de guys told me wuz dat th' Profs. wuz goinI ter giv' a glad hand ant ice-cream lay out in th, gym er th' Freshies4afs us nu fellers. So I put on a clean collar an' went. It was what dey calls informal, dat is, if you don't kno a feller yer necks yer self down ter him 311' he tags yer back. Along about this time Berea had what cher call a. carnival. There wuz a parade an' Wallace took a bunch 11v prizes fer floats etc. ThI streets and th, college campus wuz all lit up an, on one uv thl streets they had a Hmidwaf' where they sold all kinds uv Wings. Well de studints all went down one nite anI a feller dey call tde studint body', had a great 0P time wid a peach uv a gal frum th' castle. I soaked a ttcoonh on thI koko wid a ball three times an' the man in charge oEered me a segar or a package uv chewin' gum. I took thl chewinI gum ,cause I seed a Prof. watchinI. Yours suspectively, WILLYUM. Bereea, Ohhio, Nov. 1, 1911. My deer Heine: T'ings went swimminl fer a few days, when one day de pressedent said in chappell,hI fergot ter tell you dat we all got a complimentary com- pulsory ticket for this here chappell huainess-he said we all had ter hand in our cards, our mattricerlashun cards de next day and dat dey wuz due some weeks ago. So I piped off to a decent lookin, chap readint de bullytin board an' I says, uTell me how ter fix dis card, will yer? and he did; he wuz a real gent. 'Den I had ter have a feller sign up thl card fer my incidentils anl such, whatever dat means. Gee, Heine, but tings are stale here. Date aint a ting diden since de studint body took dat peachy girl out at de carnival. Yours etc, WILLYUM. 114 Berera, Ohigho, Dec. 5th, 1911. My dear Heine: I'm just a little late about riten to yer about de happenings of do last month. But here goes. Prof. Al. gets up one day in chappel and announces rite after prayer that th, nex' riot wat Would take place wuz th' football game. Dore wuz to be two bunches. One wuz de Clodhoppers and thl utter wuz de Dough- heads. llDe host of Irwinites swept down on the camp of Herminites but with no avail as Walt the post grad put it. ttAnd when the tumult had subsided they dug Shorty and Clifford from the miry clay for the field was wet and muddy. Around th, tail end uv the month a bunch of fellers they call th' Germanias took it inter there heads to git up sumpin' origonal anl on all hallers leen they go inter the country a piece, an' have a stag psuedo barbecue. They all lined up around a big blaze and held marshmallows up to thl light and let them roast. The same nite another bunch of bone- heads arrainged fer a hay ride. Now some uv tht girls didnlt like de hay, sayint, it wuz so hard ridint on such a waggon cause derl wuz nuttin ter lean yer back on. Den some uv de guys tried ter explain that dey could fix that alright ant so on an' so forth, heatint arount fer a spell or two in a sort uv half teasin' an, tantetlizin' way sayin' evlry ting 'eept what dey explicidly wanted ter say, they got the girls consent for the evtning. Well all went gebubious til tht night came and then it started in fer a drizzle, so a bus was hauled up in front uv thl castle and all piled in. One IN the guys eat up on the front seat and had ter share his gurl wid de driver and der wuz another feller in the back end who weighed lbout 170 or 180 lbs. He wuz feelin, fine. I donl remember much else. So long, from yours truely, WILLYUM. Berreea, Ohyo, Jann. 1, 1912. My deer Heine: I will start thl nu yeer out right and begin rite away ter right. Tings went farely well, as t'ings will go when one day one 11v de Profs. sez sumpin about an exam, but he didn't phaze me any; Cle lessons cum eazy fer me, bein' naterally brite.

Dear Heine; Pretty soon all the students re- turned to skule. Bish Miller wuz kinder anxious ,bout a certain gurl named Alma who wuz commin to skule. He met her 111 front uv the tiCastle an, gave her as much as thi glad hand. Thats as far as he cood go, the Wimenis Dean wuz watchin. One day a certain Deen Birney of Bostin Th'logical Unyvereity talked in chappel and asked all th' members of th' ilTheologishe gegenseitige foerderlieh- keits, unterstuetzungs und Landwehr Verein to remain fur sum private re- marks and nearly the plum hole 50 per cent of thl studint bodee remained. The basket ball team made a trip to Akron and played two games an, one of the local papers said lots 11v bum stuff about our boys. J ust fer an exam- ple dey said that Kaletch, a big lanky guy, starred for thi Vaterland squad. It wuz all a big bluE. About as cute a stunt as eny wuz thi leap year party thi soph gals gave. They called at the dorm fer thi fellers and made Doc tot up and down stairs to git thi boys. c a Yours etc, WILLYUM. P. S. I wuz goini to tell you that me ant another feller got a hand out from some dames in thi castle but I aint. Breea, Ohio, March 4th, 1912. Dear H cine, Anl then one Saturday a gurl they call Grace went home and came back agen With a ring on her left hand an' she said it was. Prof. P. who gave it to her. This here thing uv gettin rings wuz quite popular by this time and I don know but that leap year had sumpin ter do wid it, but anyhow that same night a feller named Wait and another named Vic displayed big diamond rings in the club and then Walt gets up and announces an engagement, but it wasn,t what they wuz thinkini about. Ani a little later she got a shower frum the iiHaIl girls. They gave her some silver spoons ant a rollini pin. Then to top it all, Prof. Ch. was engaged, it wuz said. And a few days later he went East for a while. But he didnt go ter get a wife, he just got license, a preacherls license. I forgot ter tell you that the Germania fellers, gave a Valentine Party and all the boys and girls sat on pillows instead of chairs. Ami the Preps. gave a party, a Martha Washington affair which wuz some party. Some uv the gals who wuz waitin on the Preps and doin the servin stunt had a hand out fer a little boy named Vic but the lad never got it. I guess Iill close fer dis time, from yours truely, WILLYUM. 116 eennan wallet: mllege sub Qtusmupnlitanism OSMOPOLITANISM is founded upon the principle of uPeace on Earth, Good Will toward Men . It means sympathetic under- standing and a practical application of liberty, equality and fraternity in the service of mankind. It is the keynote of this age and is increasing in influence with each succeeding generation. Inventions and discoveries of the several decades just past have made rapid travel and intercommunication possible and have united the most distant parts of the earth, so that the idea of remoteness of countries has practically been eliminated. Men by advocating universal peace and denouncing war have broken down the barriers between nations and have united them into a closer fraternal relationship. Today representatives of any of the worldis natiOns, regardless of color or race, are greeted as welcome visitors upon the shores of every land. But perhaps nowhere is the cosmopolitan spirit more in evidence than in America, nor is there anywhere a more favorable opportunity for its development. Here as in no other country of the world have representatives of the different nations found homes and established themselves. In the free soil of our own America where every man enjoys equal rights, liberties and opportunities, more easily than in any other could spring up and iiourieh the elements of cosmopolitanism. Just as in the past educational institutions have been the centers of many of the worldh great movements, so the American Universities of the present have been the most potent factors in the originating and develop- ing of the cosmopolitan spirit. Within recent years many of the higher educational institutions have organized Cosmopolitan Clubs for the beneht of foreigners who have registered as students. These societies are in turn united into a national association which has for its motto: ttAbove all Nations is Humanity . The object of all of these organizations is to foster among the students of different nationalities the spirit of universal brotherhood and peace and to establish strong international friendships. Although German Wallace has never organized a Cosmopolitan Club, it occupies a unique position with regard to this great movement. Being a college of the smaller type and having men of various nationalities both on its faculty and in its student body it may itself be considered a Cosmo- politan Club on a larger scale. AS its name would indicate, the school is pre-eminently German and bases its instruction upon the great German principles of conduct and character. To these are added the best American ideals, as well as those of the various other nationalities represented. Thus the student at German Wallace has an opportunity to learn to know men not only from every part of this country but from many other lands as well, and can absorb from the rich inheritance which they bring with them the ideals of various nations and peoples. The man from the western states, with his practical, progressive, yet somewhat materialistic ideas, works side by side with the man from the east, who is more idealistic, conservative and controlled by tradition. Both of these in 'turn, with their love of adventure, enterprise and liberal- mindedness, come into close contact with the native German, imparting to him these strongest of American traits and learning from him industry, 117 honesty, frugality, patience and persistency. German and Amei'ican like- wise mingle with men of Switzerland, China, Russia, Austria, Japan, Hungary, etc., and each learns from the other and becomes a part of all that he has met. Few schools of the size of German Wallace can offer to students equal opportunities for becoming citizens of the world. It has a faculty of twenty-three members. Seven of these are native Americans, eleven are German Americans, and five are native Germans. In the year 1864 when German Wallace began its existence as a college it had an enrollment of forty students. One of these was a. native German and the others came from the different states of this country, as follows: Ohio 15, Indiana 6, Illinois 6. Kentucky 3, Tennessee 2, Pennsylvania 2, Wisconsin 2, Kansas 1, Michigan 1, New York 1. The enrollment for the year 1911-12 is two hundred and eighty-two and represents the following twentyaone states and countries: Ohio 189, Indiana 17, Michigan 9, Wisconsin 19, Minne- sota. 1, Washington 2, Texas 1, Illinois 9, Kentucky 3, West Virginia 3, Maryland 1, New York 5, Alabama 1, Pennsylvania 6, Oklahoma 1, Arkansas 2, Germany 5, Switzerland 1, China 5, Russia 1, Hungary 1. Since 1864, forty-two states and countries have had one or more students at German Wallace. They are: Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Wash- ington, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Maryland, Kentucky, New York, Texas, West Virginia, Tennessee, Iowa, New Jersey, Alabama, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Louisiana, Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, California, North Carolina, Oregon, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, Germany, Switzerland, Russia, Hungary, China, Korea, Assyria, Austria, J apan and Canada.

Q $uggestiuu fur a gnaw: on the Qtullege Qtampus Lapsus Germanae Grammaticae Wood, hearing the dinner bell: qch glaube das ich will etwas fressieren. Wood announces in the Boarding Club: Das Mann die meine Buch geschweibht haben, wolle sie bitte in meine Zimmer leaven. Ich muss er gleich usen. In German Class: Er bat sie noch einmal. Haubrich: He bathed her again. 119 My: Enigma T was a mild summer day toward sun-down and the lingering rays of the sun seemed to bathe all the world in rest and peace and plenty. Almost all the workmen of the little town of Copley had returned to their homes after their days work and the streets were practically deserted. At the low, wooden gate of a modest cottage on the outskirts of the town stood a girl, anxious and expectant. She was of tall and lithe build with fair hair, but brilliant browu eyes. Her whole person bespoke courage and fixed endeavor, and she was evidently laboring under suppressed excitement, for her breath came short and quick, how- ever hard she tried to be calm. Although she had to wait long before her patience was rewarded, her face lit up with real pleasure as a man already past the prince of life appeared. He too was tall and well-built, but unlike his daughter his eyes were dreamy and sad as if a sorrow was constantly before him. iiYou are late, Daddy , cried the girl reprovingly, as soon as he was within calling distance. iTm sorry, Beth, but it was really unavoidable. Have you been waiting long? said Mr. Lander, gently. iiQuite long, but hurry, for I have some great news to tell you as soon as you are ready for supper. Taking him by the arm, Beth disappeared into the house with her father. Fifteen minutes later found father and daughter seated at the table, and every lingering trace of sadness and lassitude left Mr. Lander's face as he watched his daughter's animated countenance, on which was written every deep emotion which was stirring her soul. She related in a graphic manner the homely happenings of the day. Especially did she dwell on the call of a widow of the town in such a ludicrous manner that it brought tears to her fatherls laughing eyes. Lastly she reminded him of the news which she was so anxious to impart. When he pressed her to reveal it she placed a letter in his hand, and left him in the dining-room alone to read it. As he scanned the pages of the letter, all the brightness left his face and for a time almost uncontrollable grief possessed him. He sat with his head bowed in his hands, and when he finally arose to go into the iiving-room, which was at the same time parlor and library, his walk was that of an old man. Not long after he had taken up his paper which he tried in vain to read, his daughter came laughingly into the room and, perehing on the arm of the chair, she questioned, iiWell, how did you like my news? Its a wonderful opportunity, my dear, and you must certainly take advantage of it. I shall miss you a great deal, even more than I have the last three years when you have been at school, because we have become such good comrades this summer, but I shall think of the joy you will derive from studying under great teachers and shall look forward to the time when you will be home again with mefi iiYou dear old Daddy, Elizabeth cried impulsively. nIill write to you every day and tell you how I'm getting along. Besides, its a whole month yet until I go. No traces of the conflict which raged in the soul of the man were 120 visible, and he joined in his daughters plans as she revealed them to him, as if they were a source of joy to him rather than sorrow. It grew late as they talked and planned, and Elizabeth finally rose to retire. Having kissed her father good-night, she went to her little room upstairs, hum- ming a merry tune. With the departure of the girl all the courage and fortitude which Mr. Lander had displayed so recently forsook him. Again he read the letter, which was from a distant relative who offered to take Beth to Europe, where she might have the best vocal teachers of the profession. He knew that his daughterts voice was extraordinary and that such a talent ought not be hidden; he sickened with the thought of another lonely year, and he saw that year would be followed by another and many more such, when people had heard her sing and recognized the real beauty and power of her voice. Placing the letter on a table near the door, he paced back and forth, and back and forth again until he was weary. Dejeetedly and heartsick he dropped into a chair and buried his face in his hands. While he was sitting thus, motionless and unconscious of his surroundings, the door opened and Beth entered in search of her letter, for her heart was so full of joy that she wanted to read the good news again. Without stopping longer she took her letter, apparently without having noticed her father. As she turned to leave she saw him and stopped short, all the joy going out of her face. Her first impulse was to rush to him, put her arms around him and beg him to tell her his trouble. An unnameable something restrained her, however, and she stared with unseeing and frightened eyes at the pathetic iigure in the low rocker. Instinctively she knew what the cause of his sorrow was. As noiselessly as she had come in she withdrew, her feet lagging as if she were weary and her voice no longer filled with glad song as she climbed the stairs. With uncertain i steps she reached her room and sank into a chair near the window. A dull ache filled her heart and mind. Long she sat there motionless, while thought upon thought pounded through her brain. Mechanically she picked up the letter and re-reading it she saw in place of her life in the European capitols, the life of her father if she would go. She saw him in the morning, starting out to work without any loving words of encouragement, for she was all he had; she saw him returning in the evening with no bright face at the gate to quicken his weary foat-steps; she saw him eating his silent meals and spending his evenings alone. The past three winters she had spent at a boarding-school, and although she knew that it had cost her father some heart-pangs and sacrifices as well to send her there, yet there was always the promise of her return in the Spring to comfort him. She saw him sick and neglected, attended only by strangers. Again she had visions of a delightful trip across the ocean, of seeing new and wonderful things, and above all of studying music under the most proficient masters of whom Europe could boast. That was what the letter had said exactly. Her music! That was the joy of her life, and must she relinquish the opportunity now when it was within her grasp? It would probably never come again, it was once in a life-time. Her one desire was to learn to use her voice, to make people recognize her talent. 121 Again the picture of her father as she had last seen him hovered before her. Now first she realized what a complete sacrifice her father had made for her. The story had been told her more than once that her father had had a great opportunity to make himself renowned shortly after her motheris death when she was only two years old, the one condition being that he must leave his baby girl to the care of strangers, for his work would occupy all his time and energies. He had renounced the very thought of such an action. When she had first heard the story she thought it perfectly natural that he should do so. Now she saw clearly the magnitude of the sacrilice he had made, and should she reward him by leaving him desolate and alone when he was no longer young. Still she knew that the monotonous and colorless life which would be her part if she refused the offer so generously made her would be almost unbearable in COntrast with what of comradeship which she had enjoyed with her father during the past summer; forgotten were her home duties and pleasures in which she had found so much enjoyment as the love of her art overwhelmed her with longing for the advantages which were here for the taking. Dawn found her still sitting at the window, physically exhausted from her long struggle. Her soul, too, was weary from the fierce battle between duty and desire, and she was yet undecided. However, with the first rays of the sun, the promise of another beautiful day, there came to her from an unknown source not only strength and courage to deny herself at present what she craved so intensely and to devote to her father the energies that were now rightfully his, but hope, too, entered her heartI whispering of future days in which she would reap her reward and look back upon her decision with deepest satisfaction. As the pall of night receded before the coming day, so the burden and bitterness of the struggle vanished from her heart, leaving a perfect and all-encompassing peace. Beth appeared at breakfast with a serene and smiling face. Her father, on the contrary, talked and laughed with forced cheerfulness, and a cloud seemed to dim the splendor of the bright summer morning. Well, did you see all of Paris and London in your dreams, Beth ? he asked. ilNo, she replied, seriously, ttI saw a long winter of fun and study with you, Dad. Letls forget Europe. Mr. Lender's eyes filled with tears and all he could say was: Little Daughter!u but the cloud had vanished completely. Beyer: I have been told that I can make my violin sound like a human voice. X. Yes, but there are many kinds of human voices. E22 THE WAITERS THE SMALL SYRUP PITCHER A PARODY How dear to our hearts are the memlries 0f club-life, When half-famished moments recall them to mind.

Memories qunh ant QBtbermisie Oh, who wouldntt go back to that classical town, Where grindstones are made and quarries are found; To the scenes that remind us of clays that are past, And recall pleasant memiries that always will last? Oh, who wouldnit go back to old Wallace Hall, With its classrooms a few, its stairways so tall, Which led to the Soc rooms with their memories sweet; Even though our knees trembled, our anxious hearts heat As we stood on the rostrum to make our firstspeeeh, And we learned many things that books do not teach. Or how we debated about matters and men, Important subjects they seemed to us then; How we argued and talked on questions profound When really our words were little but sound. But the training we gonewe never will know How much it has helped us in making things go, And the friendships we formed have lasted through years Midst the battle of life with its joys and its tears. Of the grand old professors, three remain with us still, Their places in college one never could hll; Theytve taught by example, by precept as well; God has blessed the ttOld Guardit more than tongue can eter tell. Their names they have written by deeds good and true, 0n hearts by the hundreds and lives not a few. May the end of their journey be crowned with success, And their lives be extended many more yet to bless! 0h, who wouldntt go down to the campus once more, For a game of baseball with the fellows of yore, And to argue again with a cry and a shout That ttthe umpire is rotten for calling me outim 0r, out by the sidewalk, right next to the street, For a gameenot iawn tennieethatis surely too iieet;e But the old game of croquet, with mallet and ball, On a court made of sawdust, one load, that was all; 0r old-fashioned foot ballewe played it with joy- We each kicked the pigskin,ethey now kick the boy. And a trip to the Rocks, 011, who wouldnit go To that place full of beauty? ttwas God made it so. There We chiseled our names in the stones at our feet, They still can be read by those who there meet. The water still rushes, the same as of yore, The whirlpoolis no bigger, the water no more; And the beautyis the same; it pleases the sage, . It delighted our youth, it enchants as we age. Twas there that we learned our orations by heart To give at Commencement before we did art. The sound of the water as it rushed 0,e1' t e falls Made music and rhythm that still to 115 calls. 128 01-, who wouldntt go out with a fishhook and line To the old Cedar Point with its trees and its vine, To sit on the bridge and watch the fish play With your bait, as you 'iwasted the whole live-long day? But the cheese and the c1ackers, the sardines and the bread How good they all tasted Eithat is enough said; iTwas better than bean soup or boarding hall fare, 0f syrup and sourkraut, even iiKuchen so rare. Oh, who wouldntt go back to the pleasant days spent In the iidorm on the campus where eviry one went When wanting a. good time or eien an Aufsatz, He could have though of either, a little or lots. But the bedsteads and casters, how often they broke! And the noise they createdebut Ilm sorry I spoke, For Doctor heard the disturbanceewe bothered him much;e- He climbed those old stairways the culprit to clutch; But the lights Were extinguished, ltwas as still as a mouse, And quiet restored in that end of the house. Or, maybe a iiSchuetzenfest, planned by a few, To tWenty-four fellows the number soon grew; The friendship they felt for the one giving the spread- They p1 aved by consuming his sausage and bread. -- A -- His quilts owes the hall to the doorways were nailed, w- -':-'-f ' Connecting two looms where one would have failed To hold the whole gang who had come for a feast, - 1 They ate evirything up before ever they ceased. Or, who would go back to the oldufashioned wood stove, And saw and split cord-wood that came from the grove, And carry it up several flights of the stairs, To keep one from freezing and from putting on airs? For the boarding department the students took turns In cutting the wood that in the range burned; Then filled up the measureisome piled it up high, To give plenty to others their muscles to try. Few rooms in the hall with a carpet were blessed, And rugs and axminsters were not in the rest; But our lessons We learned, just as well as today, And the training was useful, old students will say, And those trips 0,61, the Hogis-back, oh, how we did shiver As the winds swept across it from quarry and river! With ice on the sidewalks weid take to the street And crawl on our knees when we couldnit keep our feet! Electric street cars in those clays? no, indeed! A single horse car answered well evlry need; When it was too crowded, some had to walk; The station was a mile off-hut why further talk? Not all the experiences were of this kind, There are many fond memiries that come to my mind. The sorrows were few and great were the joys, God bless Wallace College, with its old girls and boys!

Here and there students could be seen, who unwilling to break the spell by returning to their neglected studies were lounging on benches or sauntering around the campus in the joy of spring- time and of youth. Two girls coming slowly up the walk behind the Castle stopped carelessly before the old pump. d tiDo you want a drink? asked one, jerking the iron handle up and own. iiNo, returned her friend, 'inor do I believe I can have one if I did, because the water wonlt flow. What can be the matter With the pump? They passed on, forgetting the incident. Silence rested more deeply on the campus as lights began to appear in 'icastle and dorm, and through open windows students could be seen engrossed or seemingly engrossed in their books. The old pump shook itself until it rattled and in a voice now of anger, now of gentle reminiscence spoke: ml'he matter? Ah, what is the matter? This evening has been the first time in weeks and even months that any- one has deigned to notice me. I too have a right to ask, what is the matter? I was not always so neglected for there was a time when I was the most popular rendea-vous on the campus. Why, those days on an evening like this there would have been a half-dozen or more here sooner than this to quench their thirst and linger about me! Every time a con- cert was given they would pass me two by two, the first time perhaps disregarding me, but always returning after a few minutes with a stein to drink of my sparkling water and linger near me longer than necessary, and speak to me in kind words of acknowledgment which I still treasure in my heart of hearts. My younger but at times more popular neighbor, the lawneswing, has intimated to me that I was clearly nothing more than a means to an end, but I ascribed that to natural jealousy and thought no more of it. In these lonely days I often think of two especially who would come to this porch and stay until the lights in castle would one by one go out. I dont suppose I shall ever know what their real names are for all I ever heard was iWalti and iMarie: yet I shall always have a warm spot for them in my heart, and the mere remembrance of them cheers my present loneliness. itThe change in the atmosphere of Wallace is in a sense perhaps for the best,,, continued the pump more cheerfully, iifor there is not now nearly so much mischief on foot, that is, visible mischief; 0f the invisible variety even more than enough has been provided this year by the perverse and amorous little god of mischief. First it was iHermann und Dorothea' that startled the campus; then after Christmas the young man with hair like a Baltimore sunset returned from the South with a beaming smile on his face, minus a small square box of doubtful significance that he had been carrying next his heart. Cupid grew bolder and aimed his shafts at bigger game, the faculty. The iirst ones pierced only the hearts of the tutors, but a little later the vocal teacher sang more joyfully and attract- ively than even Orpheus and then one of the beautiful and gifted iGraces' suddenly succumbed ; and then iGloqmyi saw unwelcome visions of a 132 June bride. Lastly letters from Ithaca became so frequent as to arouse comment and then one evening one of the fair ones appeared among her friends with a beautiful ruby on her left hand and all the other envious maidens could say was, Why, Lucile? And while the girls were still admiring loveis token on the hand of Lucile, Myrel startled all with a flashing diamond. Then I dipt into the future far as my pump eye could see, Saw the vision of the Spring and all the havoc that would be; Wondered if her Winsome coyness could inspire more ardent love, Than old Winteris somber cover and his grim and darkened mood; For in Spring 3 young mants fancy lightly turns to thoughts of lovef iiBut it was of visible mischief that I was first speaking. Why, in former times, when mischief was on foot, nobody ever stopped to wonder what the results would be. If any of the boys didnit behave, the Aufsatz. Committee took him in hand; if some condition needed changing they did not stop for words; their strength lay in deeds. Thus the old pipe fence found a lonely grave in the quarry, and when the girls in the Castle decided that their old stove was an unnecessary evil, a score of young men appeared as if in answer to an unspoken wish and silently but effect- ively they performed their task. I was an unnoticed but nevertheless observing witness, for they bore the remains in a solemn procession past this very spot and without a doubt they laid them to rest in the quarry. iiIn one thing I rejoice and that is that the freshmen are not tortured as unmercifully as they once were. Of course, Weedeman did have to climb the tree near the tdormi to look for an imaginary owl, and all he received for his pains was a bucket of cold water. But thatis not as bad as shooting snipes or singing in front of the Castle as Becker had to do. How many times has some unfortunate 'greeniei received a cold shower from my depths because he wouldnh: do as he was told! Unwillingly I allowed my icy water to pour out on his innocent young head, but what could I do to prevent it? I did admire the plucky spirit shown by one youngster last year, iHoney! they called him, who wouldnit sing for the girls, and put up a good fight before they got him where he could be doused. That same freshman was one of the ibell-ringersf and I declare I never saw a more frightened bunch of ikiddiesi than those boys. They rushed past here as if all the furies were after them, and then later when they had to take their medicine as prescribed by the lDiseipline Committee' they boasted of the good times and the rest they were having and how they hadnit been frightened at all. The old pump could have told an entirely diiferent story, dear boys. i Phe removers of the ichicken-eoop'e-as the storm house on the Col- lege Building was calledewere more iadeptieas Filter would say-at 133 their work, for if I am not mistaken they haven't been discovered to this day. That was a neat job, neatly done. It was near midnight on a moon- light night when shadows began to hit around the College Building. I knew immediately that something big- was on foot and hoped that the boys would eliminate the tchicken-coopJ for I was sure it was a thorn in the flesh of my stately friend. the College Building. It is still a source of wonder to me how noiselessly that deed was accomplished. In an incredibly short time I saw the iIl-fated chicken-eoop being itetedieas Wesley would saye by eight or ten braves. After that I heard and saw nothing for about ten minutes and then suddenly I heard a crash loud enough to wake the dead. I did not know what happened at the time as my range of vision is limited, but I learned later that they had set it up on the Castle, but the coop must have been even more repugnant to that fair dwelling than to the College Building, for it did not remain there more than three minutes. The forms disappeared with remarkable suddenness and the ruins of the coop were found on the steps of Dietsch Hall the next morning. iiFootsteps were heard approaching on horseback and the chatter of the pump ceased. The iigure of a girl emerged from the shadow of the Castle and the pump awaited her arrival in tense silence, expecting surely that she would stop if only for a moment. But no! unheedingly she passed on, after having glanced toward the porch as if expecting to see someone. iiThat must have been the daughter of the Prof. who lives in the dorm, the pump began again. uShe often takes walks on the campus after all the students are supposed to be in. And that reminds me of Aphur J ordan, President of the Mid-Winter Tennis Club. It seems to me that that Club is mighty inactive. In spite of the fact that the girls? tennis court is as level as the most fastidious could wish, the members of the Club do not take advantage of the opportunity to improve themselves in the game. It may be that they consider themselves good enough players, but I am inclined to believe that they would practice more often if the Presi- dent would show more enthusiasm. It is rumored that he prefers military drill to tennis, because he can get so much more exercise out of drill. There hasnt been a great deal of enthusiasm in any branch of ath- letics this year. I suppose it's partly due to the fact that the Girls, Basket Ball Team wasnit permitted to play any inter-collegiate games, for that necessarily made interest lag. But I believe the trouble began even earlier. One cold, slushy evening last Fall, about four oiclock, some of the queerest- looking specimens filed past me that I have ever seen in all my days. I was dozing when the first ones passed, but awoke in time to get a glimpse of Clif Wemmer. I could hardly believe, when I first laid eyes on him, that he was really Wemmer, the immaculate, for he was plastered with mud from the crown of his curly head to the tips of his shabby shoes. I dont know what kind of ttogsi the boys were wearing, but certainly such a sight as they were never before disgraced the campus. Later I was told that a pseudo-foot ball game was played on the athletic field and that neither the iDoughheadsi nor the iClodhoppers' were able to score. As this was the first sign of athletics this year and as the game produced such unfavorable results, I thought that perhaps it was this that put a damper on athletics the rest of the year. iiAh, I have heard and seen many things in my day! Week in and week out I stand here at everybodyis service and sometimes the only mor- tal words I hear are those which float from the north rooms of the College 134 Building, as when Prof. Wilker lectures his fourth French class on: tPruefe wer sich ewig bindet 0b sich das Herz zum Herzen findet; Der Wahn ist kurz, die Reu ist langB iiOne day last Fall before the cold weather set in, I- heard someone ask in Miss Akins's History Class: tWhat finally became of Henry the Fourth 1? And Miss Akins answered, He finally diedf I havenit been able to decide yet why she said that, because it seems so evident. Perhaps, however, there is a hidden truth in those words which is beyond my com- prehension. til can fully sympathize with Prof. Chrisman in his dislike of hearing vocal students practice; I shall never forget the first time I heard it nearby. It was on a Saturday night near midnight when strange sounds began to issue from the cottage behind the hall. Never before had I heard such awe-inspiring tones: new high and piercing, and then such wailing and meaning that made the shivers run down my back. Involuntarily I turned, expecting to see a dog with his nose pointed toward the moon, but there was nothing in sight. Then I thought somebody must be in trouble and I expected to see people come running, for surely it was heard for squares around. I did hear a window raised in the back of the hall and voices as if in protest, but that was all. The next day I learned that Miss J unker was practising- a French song for a recital. I can bear the tinkle of a hundred pianos, the heart-rending shrieks of a violin, the spasmodic blasts of the would-be cornetists, but deliver me from the vocal students! They drown out everything. I doubt if I shall ever be able to say with Prof. Chrisman, tIt is all for the best; for my antipathy is too strong. Truly, the old order ehangeth, yielding place to new, said the pump, waxing sad. ttI hear the students say that it is hard to leave at Commence- ment, but it is infinitely harder to be left. Year after year passed and I am always one who is left, and often the faces which leave in June do not reappear in September and I never know what becomes of my friends. Yes, they are all my friends, whether they come near me or not, for there is a spirit which I have finally decided must be the college spirit of which there is so much talk at present, and this mysterious spirit makes me kin to all who go back and forth here. It is the spirit which, defying locked doors and all other barriers, spreads the news that the Dean has left the hall and the same spirit which leads the Dean, unbidden and noiselessly to the scene of trouble during study hour; it was this spirit which prompted tStaudiel when on the verge of being caught red-handed at some mischief to hide behind the clothes in Guentherts closet, and the same spirit lead Prof. Ficken to that closet, where all he beheld was Staudiets feet protrud- ing from beneath the clothes where they shone in solitary and unrivalled splendor; finally it is the spirit which in these days of loneliness and change has kept my old heart from breaking, for at night when all is still, this kind spirit comes on the wings of the wind and cheers my sad heart with tales of life in college, dorm and castle, thereby keeping alive the faint spark of life which still burns within me. Silence. The leaves in the big maple at the side of the Hall rustled. stirred by a gentle breeze, and as it passed over the pump the spirit of the campus whispered caressingly to the faithful servitor: ttBe still, sad heart, and cease repining, Behind the clouds is the sun still shining, Thy fate is the common fate of all. And the pump was comforted. 135 gamma Jfrum Jitters ARRIVED on the German Wallace College campus at six in the I morning. Everything was still. I was standing right in front of the church when all of a sudden a big thing came out of one of the buildings which I later found to be a man. I thought it was best that I get out of his way for 'he was coming right toward me and I did not think long because he seemed to be angry. He had a brass soup bowl attached to a handle and started to make a hideous noise with it. I ran behind the church thinking I was safe, but no, I ran into a world of frightful creatures. The door of the building near the northeast corner of the church opened and something that could walk came out. My! I look once; I look twice;amy blood freezes in my veins with fright,4nd I dare to take another look. Goodness! now they are coming right toward me. That was enough. I wheeled around and ran for all I was worth. I guess I ran for almost a mile and after I had gotten those dreadful scenes out of my mind the thought came to me that I must go back and fulfill my mission; so I slewly but surely crept back. I was just in time to see those funny creatures go down under one of the buildings and I scraped up enough courage to follow. What a queer place these creatures had. They had dug a big hole under a building and had nailed boards around the sides to keep the worms and lizards that were in the ground from crawling in on the tables. Everybody was standing when I entered and all of a sudden a queer little thing rang a bell. Then everybody was quiet. I heard someone say something and I guess he was talking about me. He said: ttDeiner Guete nicht vergessenf, and as I was a guest, so most likeiy he wanted someone to collect the money from me. I got a seat next to a very odd specimen of humanity. I guess it was a fish, because I heard someone call him ttsharkfi Well, you should have seen those things eat. My, oh, my! And what they ate;-such things as snake saucisse tfrankfurtersl, railroal-spike-rust pie Imince pieI, and lizard batter Ipan- cakesl . But what was most striking to me was the way they drank their skyjuice. Some of them had chalk mixed with it tFrench teaI, others coal dust Icoffeel. I presume in both cases it was to avoid seeing the microbes. When that lish next to me opened his mouth I had to hold onto 136 the table and after he had drunk all he wanted he started to eat some bread and snake saucisse. He scratched his head, thought awhile, and then asked for some glue which was in the middle of the table in a small glass jug, and smearing this on the bread he laid the saucisse on the glue and down the thing went. Why he put that glue on I dont know, unless it was to keep the saucisse from going down too fast, because if that frankfurter got a-going too fast, I think it would have knocked a hole in the bottom of ' his stomach or maybe he wanted the dog to stick to the bread, so in the final run he would be a well-bred dog. I had enough of that meal, so I slipped out into God's own fresh air. About ten o'clock in the morning I stole into the building labeled HDietseh Hall? I took it for granted this was the place where they stored the machines which were used to sting fellows with. I heard ttShark speak about them and that,s what he called them. I soon found out who the main machine was, because she had stung more fellows than all the rest. I learned by looking thru my book of ttAntiquaries in Fossilstl that these were girls and were harmless unless you mention the phrase Womants Suifrage ; 01: gave them pancakes to eat. But they say they are good for something in the long run. So I guess thatts why they kept so many in the storehouse. After I got thru looking at the Hall I heard the supper-bell ring and I obtained a seat at a table which I guess was com- posed of lltheologes because some one said to me it was - - a ltWisconsintt table, and if they can sing- they must be preachers. I was soon assured that it was a theological crowd by the attitude of the fellow who sat next to me, whom they called Walt. About 5:45 that little man rang the bell again. Then the queerest thing I ever heard began. My! my! what a noise; it was just as if a person took a shovel and pushed it on the front edge over a cement 11001:. How beautifully the noise jarred the air. I asked the fellow next me what it was and he said in a very solemn tone: We are singing. After supper I returned again to Mars. Ick, ick. 137 THE OLD GUARD We pause a moment from iiCollege Life, From study, from pleasure, from ease, from strife And the routine Wheels retard,e And bring to you our love and praise; To you who blessed ouf college days; To you iiThe Dear Old Guard. We remember now with a guilty twinge, iAnd our faces reflect a crimson tingei The innocent pranks we played. And we must confeswthe deeds we rub We deserved the punishment which you Thru mercy often stayed. With patient heart thru weary years, With fervent prayers, perhaps with tears, You watched with tender care, That we who came to Learnings Shrine, Might best appropriate the time We chose to tarry there. Words utterly fail to express The love, esteem and tenderness That thoughts alone can cite. The gratitude we owe to you, The best we bring, the best we do, Will never-more requite. We cannot fathom the sacrifice, We can only guess the cost, the price You paid for the youth you love; But well try to live as you taught us to, To live for others, -and when lifeis thru, Salute iiThe Old Guard above.

W., 14. 142 330110111: I NEVER FlUNHED A CLHSS OR CUT CHAPEL AS LONG HS I HAVE BEEN ATTENDING GERMAN WALIACE. n HNE RECORD. WHO ARE YOU? $2911 hais flilettle INCE the day Gil Hall stepped from the train for the first time in Rockwell he was a marked man. At least some of his fellow students thought it worth while watching him. He was by no means a bright student, that is to say he did not attract the attention of the faculty in any particular. His recitations were fair and in short creditable. There was nothing about him that seemed to be dominant, nor had he any peculiarities. He was like most of the students who entered the college with him. Coming from a small tOWn he had entered ifBond just because his parents had sent him. And his parents had sent him to Bond for no other reason than that it was the nearest denominational college. Among the two hundred or more students he towered about two inches above the next in height, who in turn was only slightly above average. This, if any, was his peculiarity, but even that was not marked. Strange to say, that although a critical eye would readily have detected that his legs were a least bit too long, and that under such conditions one would expect him to be lanky and somewhat awkward, this was not the case. On the contrary, he had a free gait, a natural poise. And this very point verged on the possibility of causing attraction, for when he spoke to someone behind him or when he ascended a stairway unaided by the common use of the banister, he retained his equilibrium and position in a way that was fascinating. Yet no one ever thought it was so much out of the ordinary that he would call the attention of others to it. He had no particular nor peculiar convictions. In no way did he dis- play his bent toward radical or conservative opinions except for two words he had neatly printed in Old English type on pieces of cardboard. These he had hanging over his study table. They were ittradition and custom. All he ever said about them to any one was that he hated these two words and that they were the greatest drawbacks existing. In the class room he seldom expressed any opinions other than the authors whose text was being used. In the literary society he exhibited no marked ability in either delivery or style. But as in all his points, there were here only one or two instances that seemed to make a marked man of him, if such he might be called. On one occasion he was delivering an oration and in a passage of description he told of the beckoning call of the shepherd from the hill- top to the grazing iiock below. One sentence in this passage attracted the attention of the professor who was criticizing the production. The sen- tence was: tiThe low haloo of the shepherd floated out over the valleyr and the sheep heard, and the lambs. This last phrase in the opinion of the professor displayed a natural poetic instinct, iiand the sheep heard, and the lambs. He also sang in the church choir. At times he would be asked to sing a solo. There was nothing startling in his voice or style. His range was normal, his voice pleasing, that is, it had no marked defects. Only once did the preacher venture to comment on his voice when he thanked him for the solo by saying, iiYour voice is sympathetic. And so we might go on ad infinitum in describing Gil Hall. He was talented in nearly every direction, but he excelled in none. Because of 144 his adaptability he retained a warm place in the affections of all. Still he was far from being popular. Yet for this very reason he was a marked man. Everybody knew him and all had a good opinion of him. On several occasions he was asked what his lifeis aim was, and in each instance he said that he was studying for the profession of a medic, as he called it. Two years elapsed. Gil was still the same,eunpretentious, natural boy that he always had been. His growth was natural, for he grew in knowledge and in favor. Only the few who took special interest in him probably noticed this growth. These few were his bosom companions who were able to study him at close range. One Sunday night he attended the evening service at a church in the neighboring village, a charge which was supplied by his friend, Nathan Wright. This was not the first time. Upon previous invitations of his friend tiNat, as he called him, he had sung solos and had also several times addressed the congregation during the past year. But this night was diiferent from any other. This was an epoch-making event. It came about in this way: Gil and his friend Nat had missed the car which would take them back to Rockwell. They had another hour to wait until the next car should arrive. At the suggestion of Nathan they walked toward Rockwell until the car could be sighted, when. they would wait at the nearest stop and board the same. They had hardly commenced to walk when Nathan began to unload his church burdens to Gil, who listened attentively. iiGillfi said he, dropping immediately to a confidential tone, you have no idea how attached I am to this place, meaning his congregation. Gil retained a silence, as men often do, thus inviting a more liberal conversation from the speaker. After a slight pause Nathan continued: Really, Gil, I dearly love this place; I love the people,-ah! the people. They are like children to me. How well I remember when I came here. Not a soul seemed to care if the day was Sundaxr 0r Monday, they were so wicked. And even now there are only a handful of whom I might say, they are trying to do right. But, Gil, this handful will be a nucleus in the hands of a man who can handle themea nucleus that will grow into something great. I have now labored here for two years and this Spring I graduate and my intentions are to go east to finish my studies. I am looking for a man to take my place. A man whom I- know the people will like, one who knows people, one who can keep the people together, one who is interested in them and who can in turn interest them, interest them for the good, the noble, the sublime, one Who is a i'mixer, and above all, who knows how to handle them, one who is not too orthodox yet firm in his convictions, one who is progressive: in short, one who loves people, and that man, Gil, I think is you? Gil looked up to Heaven, not to pray but to see if it was still there, if a heavy cloud had not perohance rolled along. He was looking for some place where a thunderbolt might have come from, for he felt as if one had struck him. But the stars were still to be seen and Heaven was there unobstructed by cloud or haze. A fierce battle was raging in his breast. He saw the people, the people of this particular community. He knew them, knew them well. Why, then, should he not take Natls place? He knew their conditions, and how diflicult it would be for another to take this place. These and other thoughts rapidly rushed through his brain. And 145 what Nathan had said of him was true. Gil had all of these qualifications. The silence drew on and Gil said nothing, his battle was not yet fought. tilt would mean a salary of $500, added Nathan. Surely a neat little sum to help one along in college. This comment added nothing to bring about an affirmative decision from Gil. If anything it distracted him. Pecuniary reward was out of the question as far as he was concerned. It was the people whom Gil saw, the poor wretched people, no more. The struggle was a herce one. His thoughts had never run in this channel before. He was going to be a medic. Renown and glory were self-evident with him in that field of activity. So he hesitated in making a decision. Gradually eonfiicts subsided and Gil saw his way clear. True, thought he, the profession of a i'medic is great, but renown and glory were not yet assured him. These he mightr-he might not attain. The ministeris work was to save souls, the t'medicis to save livesenot such a great difference after all, both calledfor service. And what was more, he had not as yet entered upon his study of medicine, so no time and schooling was wasted. itWell, Gil, said Nathan, with a rising inflection. Gil stopped and laid his hand on the shoulder of his companion. itI will, said he, with a quivering voice, as he gripped the hand of Nathan Wright. is s s t i: t i' Four more years elapsed. Gil was in charge of a flourish- ing congregation. He was still a student, taking a few studies in a nearby seminary. But his progress was wonderful. The congregation now num- bered several hundred and a newly completed brick edifice stood as a monument to his eiforts. His success was due to the fact that he under- stood people. The community was growing rapidly and he was growing with it. The place was the thriving suburb of the city of Pittsburg. Sev- eral factories had been erected nearby and the working class was settling in this locality very rapidly. Things had not changed much, that is, funda- mental things. The people were still of the hard laboring class. Profanity and recklessness still prevailed, but Gil Hall was exercising an influence that was far-reaching. He had organized a law and order league and the Sunday observance, as a day of quiet, at least, was carried out. How different it was when he first began. What a change there was now. Then a handful, a nucleUs, and from this nucleuse-now a growing church. Yet the people who came into the church now were just such as he had had to deal with then. One Sunday night, after the conclusion of the evening service, word was brought to him that Clare Kingsley had run away from home. Where could she be? Clare was a beautiful brunette with eyes to match and a lovely complexion. She was staying at home with her older sister. Although nineteen, Clare seemed not more than a girl, unsophisticated and simple. She worked as a clerk in one of the big department stores in Pittsburg. With her sister, who was incessantly chewing gum, she could never agree. When Clare was in sight her sister's jaws took on the new mission of helping to formulate words and giving them up to her junior auditor whose highly strung temper not seldom resented these onslaughts of speech. But in spite of her fierce temper Clare had a determination that was next to steel and once set in her opinion she was equally as true. But her temper,athat mean little flame, how it flickered at times and how 146 it shot into the air. But she was trying, oh, so hard, to keep that little iiame luminous and steady, for then only can this Godly gift fulfill its highest mission. But she had left for good this time, as Gil was told. He was interested in her, for she had been coming to church for nearly a year and was singing in the choir, having a rich soprano voice. It was almost a week since she had been last seen. Her sister, her only living relative, cared nothing for her. Who, then should hunt the wayward girl? Hall took it upon himself to find her. By accident or providence, who knows, Hall heard from a young man in the neighbor hood who was doorkeeper at the stage entrance of the Star Theatre, 3. burlesque house, that he had seen Clare at one of the rehearsals. Was he sure that he had seen her? Yes, quite sure. iWhy didntt I reason that out for myself '2' said Gil to himself. tiDidnit she sing for me in the choir? Wasnit she good looking, well built, and didnt she have an attractive disposition? Weren't these qualities for a chorus girl,eeweet voice, light step and naturally a disciple, nay a descend- ant of Hebe? If that is the place where she is, then God protect her, for the theatre chorus is one of the worst places on earth for a girl. Every one of those places is a market for white slaves.n And concluding with these remarks he was in a fit of indignation. On returning- to his room he paced the Hoor for many minutes and when he had calmed himself he retired. Immediately on waking the next morning his first thought was of Clare. With a brain rested from a refreshing sleep, he immediately had a solution. He would go to the stage entrance and watch for her. After a slight breakfast he went on his self- set mission. But by accident or providence again, he failed to see her. He waited until Wednesday before he again ventured to see her. uWhy had he not seen her on Monday last, said he to himself. Had she dis- guised herself? i'Or had his informant made a mistake? But it was possible that she would be in the chorus. A sure way to find out would be to witness a performance, and with this as the best laid scheme, he stepped to the box ofiice and secured a ticket for the main floor about in the middle of the hall. That night he was in the theatre for the first time. Beckoning to a boy in the aisle he rented a pair of opera glasses. The curtain was raised and the initial scene of itBirde from the Northpole was on. A banquet was in progress in the midst of ice and snow. The many colored aurora lights added to the dazzling effects centered on the dancing girls. At once Gil recognized the girl for whom he was looking. He waited until the show was over. Then going to the stage entrance he took his place among the many tiJohnniee who lined either side of the door and waited for Clare. Tripping and trooping, some came, laughing and jesting, full of expecta- tion. But with the greater part this was not the case. Worn and wearied by excess of dancing, haggard and ill tempered they poured out, giving vent to their bad feelings in a rough and vile language. There she came, accompanied by two girls, luckily both at her right side. Gathering all his nerve, Gil stepped from the line of masculine gazers and almost confront- ing 'the girl saluted her with Good evening, Clare, let's take a stroll ! For a moment she was shocked, hardly trusting her eyes. But quickly regaining self-control she turned to her companions saying as she parted: llI will meet you at the room later. M7 Turning into a side street Gil waited till they were quite alone, then taking her by the arm, he said: ttNow, then, tell me all about it, Clare. No answer. GiPs next thought was to take her to a restaurant, think- ing that a cup of hot coffee and a good lunch would make her more free. ttHave some luncheon, a cup of hot coffee, he suggested. Her only answer was a negative shake of the head. Lets get a glass of soda, he persisted. Silence was her answer. They walked on, up one street and down another, neither saying a word, she crying to herself. he thinking of several methods of attack whereby he might draw her into conversation. He ventured again: ttClare, tell me, wonlt you, he pleaded. She only broke out into a suppressed sob which gradually died down. Then of her own accord she told him all. She told him of her sisterts treat- ment, of the last word difference they had had, of her application at the managers omce at the Star Theatre, of his acceptance, of her long hours of practice, of her rooming with the other chorus girls, and of how she had lived on almost nothing, for she had not received a cent of money as yet. Again she broke out into sobs. Gil stopped and looked at his watch by the light of the arc lamp at the corner. thlare, said he in a startled tone, ttwe have but seven minutes to catch the owl ear for home? And he started in a rapid walk for the inter- urban terminal station. She followed as if it were a matter of course. Once on the car Gil rapidly planned what to do next. He knew it was useless to take her back to her sister, so he took her to the home of a Mrs. Wentworth, whom he knew would welcome Clare. Here she stayed for several days until she and her sister were reconciled. They had both for- given and forgotten, and to show her newly kindled love for her sister, Clare was the recipient of a gold watch for her birthday. It was on the evening of her birthday that Gil Hall came to call on her. He had been quite a frequent caller of late. Clare and Gil were in the neatly,r furnished and cozy parlor. After an evening spent in conver- sation he arose to go. But he lingered a while, Clare having renewed the conversation. She was telling him again of her trials and hardships while at the Star. He asked her how it was that he had not seen her enter the stage entrance on both Monday and Wednesday morning and she told him of how she had seen him waiting there and how she had evaded him, although she was just frantic to see him. But even if she would have allowed him to see her she would not have returned for she was all expecta- tion and aglow with the stage fever in spite of poor treatment. Still, on that very afternoon she had changed her mind. Wednesday was pay day and she had received nothing. All she saw was starvation staring her in the face. uI had fully determined that if no one should call for me by the next morning I would go to the river and $ t uClare, Gil broke in, ttdon't tell me that; Heaven forbid? His interruption startled her and she looked up at him until their eyes met. A sudden madness seized her and she swayed forward. As the tempting face waS'lifted and the clear blue eyes looked straight into his, a very real and a very tender emotion swept over him. thil,u she said rather breathlessly. ttClare, he said simultaneously, took her in his arms and touched the fresh, parted lips with his. 148 thnamlehgments by the J unior class of 1913 and the greater bulk of the work rested on the shoulders of the annual staff, there remained a large amount of work which neither the staff nor the class could accomplish.

SECURITIES OF REAL VALUE CAN BE PURCHASED :ON SMALL YEARLY PAYMENTS ll Few people realize that it is possible-to build up a comfortable fortune by making yearly payments in the purchase of good sccufitics. It is generally supposed that one must have as a foundation several thousand dollars wherewith to purchase investment securities. This is a wrong idea. '1 No matter how small one'a savings are. if properly invested at regulatkset times each year, they will accumulate into a comfortable Fortune. '1 An important factor in the development of thrift among the American people has been to provide for themselves a comfortable living in old age. or a protection for dependent ones in case of death.
