Possibly nowhere on earth does the sun linger so lovingly as it does on the steep ascents that form the nar- row way and upon the ships as they pass thru. To the Oriental, coming from far countries, it must seem a veritable gateway of promise, of wel- come, and a glorious entrance into this new land of his d1'eams. From the distant East, where civilization once lay cradled, he has come into the West where Progress has grown to manhood and with wide flung arms, it leads him in thru-the Golden Gate. We have no such glowing bit of Nature here at the college, instead rise two gray pillars, but they stand far apart as tho saying that they make way for many to pass between. For us, as is the Western gate for the Oriental, they are a symbol of promise and an entrance into a new life and world. Home is like the East, where all the beginnings of growth a1'e madeg college is like the West where those beginnings are to mature and to iinally culminate into vigorous man and womanhood. Our college entrance, then, is our Golden Gate-our gateway of opportunity. -7.

Rustling leaves. Haming trees, golden days, Just a touch of green that's turning brown, Leaves like bits of fire come fioating down, Scarce a hint of winter in the air, Sighing thru the branches not yet bare, Frosty nights and stars that softly gleam, Like the silver mem'ries in a dream, Groups and couples, busy students all Hurry home, or pass from hall to hall. llllllllwllllwlillllllllllllillllllllllllllll Whistling winds, storm blown and snow kissed g1'ounds Hard-packed paths and crunching, creaking sounds, Level reaches. cold and blank and white, Stretch beyond our vision into night, Trees that stand like tall, straight, staring ghosts Silent sentinels of far out posts, All the world's black outline and white snow, Colored by some window's rose-red glow, Stars that scintillate like sparkling eyes, Wink down at couples in deep, mock surprise. Spring in flowering robes with fold on fold Woven all with silver threads and gold, Touches Earth to bid her rise and wake, And live for us and for the dear Christ's sake. Touches man and calls him to take part, In energies that stir in Earth's great heart, Touches lleaven's stars with wands of gold, And makes them burn with messages half told, For Life with all its riches comes again, Has pressed with throbbing hands, the souls ol' And so the campus, thru the seasons th1'ee, llas passe'l thru myriad change for you and me, Broad vistas on the campus all un1'oll, To meet the strange, new vistas of the soul, To some has come the brew of deep defeat, To some the victory in Life's g1'eat meet, For some the knowledge, at the very end Of college days, of one true-hearted friend. God grant to those who come to fill our place, The joy of seasons' change on this dear face, God grant this campus, flaming, dreaming, white, Will teach us all the Good, the True, the Right. .-18...

Both are true of Miss Edith McPeak who has been dean of women at Bluffton since 1913, but who is now leaving us for a year in the west. Miss McPeak has been very popular in the college and there is not a student whose respect she cannot command. All that was funny she has laughed over heartily, when the fun bordered on the ridiculous she has kindly shown the gamesters the difference between the truly humorous and the silly. All that was courteous she has upheld g all that was illbred and unkind she has frowned upon. Those who were in trouble knew where they might find a sympathetic friend who regarded a confidence as sacred. Those who wilfully broke rules knew that if she reprimanded them, the criticism was just. She has supported college activities generously, and has been especially active in the work of the Y. W. C. A. Most of the girls wil think of Miss McPeak for some particular trait which has especially appealed to them, all of us will remember her for her indomitable grit and determination to see the thing thru, certain that right would be tri- umphant. We are genuinely sorry that she must leave us, but since she feels that it is necessary, she may rest assured that only good wishes with sincere gratitude for all that she has done for her girls, go with her into distant, sunny California. -.211 I V lI'l1'll ' 1 Si v fifiiillliil 'i'i 'Wlfffr'if..'.'.'5fi'.'TlTSlT!WfHlllfllfllfllllllllllllllllll DEAN BYERS Noah E.

The program of the evening usually consists of an address upon some timely subject, one or more musical numbers and a social hour. Here the educators of humanity forget about the great tasks and re- sponsibilities of their daily routine and enjoy the addition of a little spice to life. They meet as friend to friend which quickens the spirit of coopera- tion, leads to a clearer understanding of each other's problems and becomes the occasion for many pleasant memories. The following is the program schedule for the year 1918-19: Monday--Oct. 7-Prof. and Mrs. Whitmer Speaker-Professor Good Monday-November 4-Ropp Hall Monday- Monday- Monday- Speaker-Professor Hirschler Soloist-Mrs. Smith December 2-Prof. and Mrs. Huffman Speaker-Professor Hudman Soloist-Miss Nysewander January 6-Prof. and Mrs. Smucker Speaker--Dean Byers February 3-Prof. and Mrs. Smith Speaker-Professor Huber Soloist-Mrs. Adams Monday-March 3-Dean and Mrs. Byers Speaker---Professor Thierstein Soloist-Miss Bogart Monday-April 7-Prof. and Mrs. Thierstein Speaker-Miss Mueller Soloist-Professor Adams Monday-May 5-President and Mrs. Mosiman Speaker-President Mosiman Reader-Professor Smucker .31- Wl'.H'l!lEl'ljllitlHtmllllllllllllllllllllllllll. lIIllllllllllllllllllllllllfllfilllllllllllllllillllllllllllllllllll 1 , ll UIS'l'l l'Z MRS. LOUISE YOIIER Mrs. Yoder is matron of Ropp Hall, and a very good one she is, popular alike with facility and students. She presides in the kitchen and to her etforts we owe the comfortable Condition of that curious being, the inner man. How could we have our banquets, where we bring' out those mighty fruits of our pgenius in the shape of compli- mentary speeches had she failed to first fortify us? The probabilities are that our style would resemble that of the amiable Carlyle when he talked to Jane over the teacups, were it not for the good services of Mrs. Yoder before we get to the speeches. Besides few people realize the monot- ony of preparing three meals a day for even two people, let alone nearly a hundred. It necessitates constant re- sponsibility and labor and unlike other work, it is never done. To Mrs. Yoder should come often the hearty thanks of all the students for she greatly merit them. Mr. Amstutz is care taker of the grounds. We are ucustomed to speak of the natural beauty of our campus but it is a well known fact that natural beauty soon lie- nes riotous confusion if let alone. To Mr. Amstutz is 'igely dur- the credit for the attractiveness of the college r unpus for he is an urtirine' worker in ln rllorts to keep 1' f'f1ll i! acres beautiful. lle is a musician of no mean ibility. both as a performer and in the field of composition md to him we owe our Iiopp Hall song. Better still he is W i 1 friend to every one. He doc-sn't advertise his good qual- l cs. but we have never heard of his refusing to help 'inv 4 e to fix a light, to put up decorations, to do some bit of carpentry, or any of those things that come under his jur- isdiction. The college is very fortunate in being able to Sf C'Ul'f.' thc services of such a man as Mr. Amstutz. -321 lllllllllllllllllHIlllillgllilglllllllllllllIlllllllllIM lllllllllllllllllllllllllllilflllilllllll ANDREW J. NEUENSCHWANDER PEEDY! It is a magical name here in Bluffton College. Some one mentions Speedy and it is as if he had upset a bucket of sunshine, and all who hear the word go away, instinctively feeling better. A gloomy day comes along when the cuts are piling up and the work is all to- gether beyond the ability of ordinary humans to accomplish. Every one is feeling blue, wishes it were possible to crawl into a hole and pull the hole in toog then someone says- Say, this makes me think of the way Speedy used to do when things were all twisted up for him. After the method has been related, light begins to break thru, and you discover that, after all, there is a pretty fair chance of finishing up the job in a satisfactory man- ner to all concerned. Mo1'eover, in the days when he was a student, if you took the trouble to inquire of any person, who was the first one he met upon his arrival at the Co'lege, the instantaneous answer was Speedyl His was always a royal welcome both to the old and to the new students. You are saying now that this man certainly has a reputation at Bluff- ton. We grant it, but he has something more than a reputation, he has character. His is the larger heart and kindlier hand and upon few sits so well, the grand, old name of gentleman. -33-.. llllllllllllllllllllllllll UW.llflllillii'liiillylilldllllillllfllllllllllllt IllllllllllllTTfFllllll?liSlTlillillC5Hill!lll1lll,IlllllllllIllIl THE BLUFFTON COLLEGE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION HE old saying that Mark Hopkins on one end of a log and an ambi- tious young man on the other constituted a university. is no longer SlllTlCl6l1t to define a modern college or university. We find today that there is need of buildings and a large amount of equipment to make the necessary preparation for a college. Today every educational institu- tion does not seek to enroll only one. but as many young men and women as possible in its list of students. Then we find that during the years of study certain ideals are infused into these students that make them valu- able members of the college body. even when they have passed beyond her walls. They make up an important phase of college life-they are the Alumnae. The Alumni Association of our Alma Mater was organized on June 23rd. 1903, with seven graduates of that year as charter members and it was called the Alumni Association of the Central Mennonite College. From its founding until in 1915 the Alumnae entered under that name and were admitted from the Commercial, Music, Academy and Junior College de- partments. During the year 1914, the Central Mennonite College was merged into the larger and more complete Bluffton College and Mennonite seminary. Work was offered leading to the A. B., the A. M., and the B. D. degrees. This change in the Alma Mater brought on its corresponding change in the Alumni Association. It was therefore decided that active members of the Association should consist of only College and Post Graduates. The purpose in founding the local Alumni Association was to foster and maintain the spirit of the Alma Mater, but as years passed by, the As- sociation has been able to assist the College materially in many ways. Many of the graduating classes have left memorials that are of permanent value from both the esthetic and the utilitarian view point. At the Alumni meeting in 1918 several hundred dollars were subscribed to the Endowment Fund. In every forward movement of the college, the Alumni has been con- stant and faithful in its support and the College Board of Trustees has recognized this fact and as a consequence has given the Association the privilege of electing three of its members to the Board of Trustees. During the recent World War about a score of young men from the Alumni served their country in various capacities, each man doing his best where Uncle Sam needed him most. Many of them are still in the service, some in Europe, others in our own country. On looking over the list of members, one is impressed by the number which have chosen vocations in life by means of which they can be of special service to their fellow men. Quite a number are missionaries, several have chosen the ministry, while many more are teachers and are thus trying to inspire other lives with high and noble thoughts and ideals. We further find that business and agriculture have claimed a goodly portion while a few have made their mark in the world as doctors. Last, but by no means least, we must mention the many homes that are inspired by noble ideals, because the queen of the home has received her own inspiration at our dear Alma Mater.

For the benefit of those who are not familiar with al of the college traditions, let us first say that every graduating class, unless some terrible financial calamity overtake it, presents a gift to the college in the name of that class. If one happens to belong to an old college with a record of forty or fifty graduating classes, he will probably see in the halls and about the campus, tablets commemorating the gift and the class which n-ade the Dre- sentation. Bluffton, as yet, can boast of only five graduating classes count- ing this one of 19193 but still she has a number of tokens of their apprecia- tion for all that she has done for them. Bluffton first existed as an academy and later as a preparatory col- lege. She granted her first A. B. in 1915 and thus became a first ranking school. The class of 1915, in exchange for the first two letters of the twenty-six gave one hundred dollars to the library, possibly in the hope of gaining a second slice of the alphabet, for a library is usua'ly well supplied in this capacity. The class of 1916 leaned more strongly toward the con- servatory and music in general. The Edison in the Music Hall is proof of this fact and the machine is still doing active service in the cottages. The members of 1917 were grave and serious minded. Calculus, trignometry, plain and solid facts of plane and solid geometry, algebra and astronomy. all seemed of paramount importance to them and that others might share the pleasures of these subjects. they gave five hundred dollars toward the endowment of the Mathematics chair. Evidently after such a display of intellectual acumen on the part of 1917, the members of '18 thought that they and all of us to come were in dire need of light upon the subject and gave two magnificent cluster lights to brighten the approach to the Science Hall. And now all Hail to 1919, who, knowing that after all the surest way to a popular co'lege and a con- tented student body is thru the medium of athletics, has decided to asphalt .36-.

A number of other gifts have been made by academy classes but the mists of antiquity or forgetfulness, seem to have obscured the most of them. Some few we have discovered but we are not certain of the date of the gifts nor of the classes who so generously gave them. The following are some of the academy presentations: 1. The Hag pole which stands on the Science hall terrace. 2. The entrance pillars at the driveway. 3. The drinking fountain in the College Hall. 4. The picture of Menno Simon in the Library. 5. The large boulder that serves as a resting place at the turn of the drive. 6. The clocks that hang in the College Building. All of these gifts evince the gratitude of the graduating classes to the college that has given of her best to them. May each class be large enough and financially able to increase the size of its presentation that its Alma Mater may receive worthy tokens of it, as it leaves her for the great, good world beyond.

As a consequence of this fact the greater majority of the books are modern, which is of great advantage and makes them of greater practical benefit to the student. Additions to the library are provided for by a special Library Fund, secured by a fee of one dollar a semester from each student, which money is used in the purchase of periodicals and books. Quite generous additions are also made by donations, both of books and money, either for general or specific library use from friends of the college. The books are catalogued and classified according to the Dewey decimal system. Probably the best supply of books is to be found in the departments of Education, Sociology and History. A special attempt is being made to secure all books of impor- tance on Mennonite History, in order to provide a workable basis for research work in this field. Due to the emphasis upon other departments, the department of fiction has been somewhat neglected. In spite of this fact, however, more or less complete sets of Cooper, Hawthorne, Dickens. George Eliot, Mark Twain, Stevenson, Scott and Thack- eray are to be found on the shelves together with various other standard and modern works. . A series of lectures of practical value on the history of books and the use of the library were delivered by the Librarian during the past year. Possibly in the future this may develop into a regular curriculum course on Library Methods. It is hoped that in the near future the library may be housed in a separate building of modern construction, which will provide more room and at the same time be fireproof. The departments and the number of books in each is' as follows: General Works, including Bibliographies, Cyclopedias, bound Peroidicals, etc. 205 Philosophy, including Metaphysics, Psychology, Logic, Ethics, etc., 166 Religion, including Theology, Bible, Church History, Sunday School, Missions, Sermons, etc., 779 Sociology, including Political Science, Law, Statistics, Commerce, Customs, etc., 173 Government Reportsg 709 Education, 276 Philologyg including Grammars, Dictionaries and Elementary Texts f'or various languages, 141 Science, Theoretical and Applied, including Mathr-mates, Astronomy, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geology, Medicine, Engineering, Agriculture, Domestic Science, etc-1 311 Fine Arts, including Architecture, Sculpture, Painting, Photography, Music, etc., 54 English and American Literature, 364 Literature of other languagesg including French, German, Latin ,Greek 330 History, including Ancient and Modern History, Geography and Travels 376 Biography: 134 Fiction, 263 In addition the library subscribes to a Chicago and a Cleveland daily and to about thirty magazines of the best class covering the fields of Literature, Science, Art, Phil- osophy, Education, Domestic Science, Language and Religion. These are all fully in- dexed and are easily accessible thru the Rf,-ader's Guide. They are bound each year and filed for permanent reference. -38... 5 I s 4 T Q22 '1 -Q 1 'AW' --Q., - - v 1 1 Ir .I fr W I xv.

The morning sun has touched it with its gold . The silver of the moon rests on its walls, The shadows of the twilight and the night, Lie heavily within its silent halls. , , Its soul has fled: no quick'ning pulse of strife, N o int'rest nor unrest with Growth's white heat Breathes from the castle, years ago its life Was finished, and its usefulness complete. Three thousand miles across Atlantic's blue, A structure towers with fioor flung over floor: With iron and stone and wood, the best and new, Of everything, it grows with rush and roar. A nation's great affairs may sometime be Transacted there. Construction labors long To raise a structure up that men may see She builds for Progress' needs, quick, 1,'i1'IT1 and strong. To raise, to build, to be Construction's aids, To be a part of all who feel the thrill Of pushing life thru all the swift decades, This is the Work of brawn and brain and will. The finished product life would put away, A work completed needs no more concern. We dare not linger o'er our Yesterday, But to Tomorrow resolutely turn. The castle on the hill is Life complete. The structure in the city Life that calls To every man and woman to compete With things unsolved beyond the college halls. Then leave the castle, Seniors, as it lies Old, gray and lone, the sunset of decline Red on its walls. Seize ye the hour that flies!

Soon after organizing themselves and becoming acquainted with each other they displayed a fine spirit of class and College loyalty. No one who was within hearing distance of the campus and of Messinger's Lane doubts this. During their Freshmen year they were actively engaged in the various College activities and were able assistants to the upper classmen in what-ever sphere of work they were called upon to assist. Their council and advice was unheeded, not because it was valueless but for the simple reason that they were mere' Freshmen. They even had several men playing on the outlaw football team of 1915. As Sophomores they were conscientious students, besides hiding the Freshmen cloaks, conquering the Freshmen in the battle of Messinger's Lane and displaying and maintaining their class colors on the Science Hall roof. They entered on their Junior year a much reduced number. Many felt themselves qualified to enter upon life's duties and immediately entered upon active service. The College year opened with our country at war and it was soon evident that e're they were candidates for the A. B. degree many of the boys would be wearing the khaki. In December their first members began to enter the country's call and by the spring of 1918 the majority of the men were no longer seen at the class social affairs. The first semester of 1918 opened with only four boys on the class roll. Thus it is easily seen that as a class the war affected them more directly than any other class. However the class will always be remembered as having very capable and accomplished girls who as- sumed the duties usually attended to by the men. The signing of the armistice brought several of the boys back who will finish with the class. They have contributed their portion to the development of Bluffton College and have left some indelible results as a lasting tribute to their Alma Mater. The class can be proud of the fact that they have a larger percentage of members who have definitely decided to enter the foreign missionary field than any preceding class. We wish each and every one God Speed and success in life's venture and may each one be a valuable asset to Bluffton College. .46- CLASSES W' W 4 .

BYERS With the departure of Dean Byers for France, the Juniors found them- selves Without a class advisor and naturally felt very apprehensive of the future. Who could foretell what dire escapades might occur, for in spite of three years experience with rules and the powers that be, the larking spirit lies deeply imbedded in the heart of all members of 1920. The class trusts itself to carry on those standards for which Bluffton stands, but it has learned that no one can go all unguided and uncounselled thru a college career and it hesitated to sail out upon the Good Ship Education with neither pilot nor helmsman. So it is that the Juniors asked Mrs. Bye1's to help them solve these questions which every class must meet and she generously consented to act as our class counsellor. She has made a very fine one and We of 1920 desire her to know the admiration and appreciation of all the Juniors for their Class Mother. .-49.- ' ffl it .

The first is for William Stauifer. usually knovm as Bill. He is at Camp Sherman, imitating J fb, and certainly ought to get his medal pretty soon. The seeond is for Ezra Moser who is doing hospita work in France. A third is for Joe Halieggar who is in the postal exchange at Sherman.

We can still hear the long Rah. rah. rahg rah. rah, rahg rah. rah, rah. Bixief' and can see him run out on the floor. keen to have the game begin. A fifth star is for Elmer Kennel. a literary light of the class. and a sixth is for Kimmel Thompson: the blue of his uniform blends well with his service star for he is Ensign Kimmel now. The last star burns for Oliver Schu- macher. In him our class places special trust. sure that it will gain luster from his name as it has gained pleasure from his violin. We cannot look at our flag without just a trace of regret that the men here honored could not have come back to us. and yet the mist of regret is shot with sunnier lights. as we think that these bravely answered the call when it came and that the b'ack mark of slacker can never be blotted across the name of the Junior class.

A cheery Hello is always her greet- ing whenever and wherever one may meet her. The greet- ing is always so bouyant and yet so deeply sincere that a disappointment is always experienced when it is not forth coming. Her ability especially along literary lines has become well known, not only to this institution, but to everyone who has profited by the reading of her literary offerings. Her charming poems are always looked for by all readers of the college weekly. Her executive ability has been amply demonstrated as president of the illustri- ous class of '2O. Watch her! She is bound to mark her name deeply on the annals of time. CLYDE TSCHANTZ Businesslike-that's him all over. To see him walk up town and up to the college hall, then see him apply him self diligently to work in his study, one would think the business of the institution rested upon his shoulders. His businesslike actions are, however, an absolute criterion of the amount of work he accomplishes. Coming to Bluffton in the fall, when the prospects for a good year were rather gloomy, he took hold of things in a masterly manner. As editor of the Witmarsum he deserves a great amount of credit for piloting the sheet thru a turbulent year. His pep and spirit was shown in his office as college yell leader. This spring he has been showing excellent stuff in baseball. MARY AUTEN The Christmas decoration--but that is a little private joke-and the figure doesn't hold at all, for the one is fragile, easily crushed and incapable of standing any knocks. The latter, the girl herself, is known all about the college for grit and rather unusual ability to stand up under all sorts of difficulties. She is a Latin major, but is chiefiy concerned with eats and mud puppies. She was the Ista's cut editor and to her belongs the credit of the management of the bo0k's pictures. More than all, she is 1920's Y. W. C. A. president. Mary has hitched her wagon to a star and she'll ride right along to success. VIOLA WELTY Suppose you were to see an animated blue sweater climbing the long fiight of steps to Ropp Hall's third fioor, and at the very top you should hear it exclaim Jinks, but I'm tired of whom would you immediately think? We sha'n't tell you, but let us add that the owner of that sweater and expression is a girl who is the leading lady of the Junior play and the sought for accompanist in all college musical affairs, the true friend of those who know her and one of the loyalist members of the class. .....52.. llllillllllllllllllllillllllllIWHllfllilllllHllllllllllllHIHI lillllllllllilllllllllifllw 'llllllllli ' BEULAH GEIGER Here is a girl as dependable as an oak, staunch in char- acter, firm in purpose and unshaken in the accomplishment of her aims. She is this year's Ista business manager, the Y. W. C. A. delegate to the Evanston conference, and an active Y. W. worker. We were fearful of losing her for her Chicago trip was filled with terror for the class, but she is still with us and promises to stay until the end, in which We are very fortunate. AARON MYERS Assistant librarian, vice-president of his class and sure supporter of certain Ropp Hall-ites, is this Junior. He is a splendid student and is well known in the fields of oratory having won several oratorical contests for the college. His present list was completed with the Inter-society victory. Aaron has been this year's Y. M. C. A. president and was one of the delegates to Northfield. LILLIAN LANTZ The attitude not only of the class, but of the whole student body Was expressed toward Lillian when she was elected maid of honor for the May day festivities. She is petite et charmant loved by the class, individually and as a Whole. Lillian in also a musician and thus is travel- ing With the college glee club-added to this she is vice- president of the Y. W. C. A. cabinet and is easily one of the most popular girls of her class WILMER SHELLY Where there's a will there's a way the quotation is singularly applicable to this man. He is Y. M. president and master of ceremonies for May day-and when he starts something, he is sure to finish it. The Juniors are certainly fortunate in having Shelly as a member. He does not properly belong to us for his real class was that of 1919-but military service kept him out of college a year and. he fell to us of 1920. Needless to say We wel- comed him enthusiastically. -53- fli llli l 9 'l l H ll l' ' l lllllll5ll'fQ7lflll'llillfilmwilfllllillllllllllllllllllllllll RHODA BASINGER llhoda loft us at the hoginning of our year and wo have sw-n xx,-ry littli- of hor lately.

We have yet to hear one cross or ugly word from her. She is an excellent student and is a particularly valuable member of the Alethean Literary Society, coming reg- ularly to all meetings and ready to serve on the program whenever she is asked. Mildred is thinking of leaving us for O. S. U. next year, for which we are extremely sorry, but nevertheless we wish her bon voyage . MILTON SPRUNGER Milt has undergone a transformation-he has become the celebrated Lord Anthony Crackenthorpe, interested in spiders' bristles. But like many specialists, he is not narrow in his interests for there is no field of college ac- tivity in which he does not take part. Milt is an all-round man. We've yet to find something he can not do. He's the funny man of the class-always provoking a jolly good time wherever he is present. But he is serious too- true in his purpose and strong in his strife. What the Junior class would be Without him is hard to imagine. BETTY KUNST Here's a girl tall enough to be both the long ard short of the class-but her good qualities are in proportion to her height. Near the middle of the year Betty was con- vinced that she must become a nurse, but by dint of much coaxing we persuaded her to come back to us. She is the horrid Lady Crackenthorpe of the play and very success- ful in her horridness. She is a reader of some little fame and is known particularly by her emphatic, yet interrog- ative exclamation of Oh-G-i-1'-ll We particularly ad- mire her unfailing enthusiasm and her constant support of the good and the true-such is Betty., HELEN SCHWARTZENTRAUB A storm of laughter, a hurried entrance, a banging door-and Helen. Impulsive, un-thinking, lovable-a ver- itable April day. Helen is either just in or just out of a scrapeg but who can blame one upon whose lips a sincere apology rises so quickly. Those who know her best care a great deal for her-for there is very much in her char- acter to love and respect. .-55.- 'l' 'llli' 'llll9l lllll .lllllllllllllllllllllllllilgllilllillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll LELIA ROTH For some reason, as we begin to write this, a strain of the college song fioats thru our mindg it might have come purposely as a character phrase for the subject. Noble tho'ts and high ideals comes as near describing Lelia as any combination of words possible. Add to these a wonderful conception of life and of people and you will understand the girl who is planning to carry these char- acteristics into far countries whose people do not know that the possession of them is what makes life so eminent- ly worth while. DONAVIN BAUMGARTNER Donnie is captain of the basketball team and a master at tennis. That serve and that return! Why we should as soon stand up in front of a 75 mile gun. Last year he piloted our class thru most of the year and this year he is Jimmy, the irresistible leading man of the play. Donnie is quite capable of winning out in whatever he undertakes for he is instinctvely a leader but better even than that, he understands the necessity of loyal, dependable team work. RUTH AMs'rU'rz And here is the third quiet Junior. Odd how this virtue always accompanies solid worth and stability of character. Ruth is making a name for herself in Y. W. affairs and is the associate news editor for 1920. She is absolutely to be depended upon and always comes to committee and class meetings-a most remarkable trait. She is always anxious to offer a helping hand. She seems to glory in being of service to those who need her. Ruth is a loyal Junior and it is to our best interest to make sure of her as a Senior for next year. PA UL HOCHSTETTLER '4Hank returned to us the second semester after he had been honorably discharged from military service at Camp Taylor. While there he made his qualities known by suc- cessfully passing entrance requirements for the oH'icer's artillery corps. Coming back to Bluffton he filled a de- mand on the basketball team as center and played his unusually fine game that has been a credit to him during the past two years. This spring he again served the base ball tc-am by very ably taking care of the delivery part of the game. His good nature is well known and he is rightfully called a good scout by all who know him. -56- lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllldllmlmllllllllllllllllllllllllllf llllIlllllllllllllllllllwlllillliIlllllllllllllllllllllll A ESTELLE LUGIBILL . 2 Mica, mica parva stel1a A We needs must change one modifying adjective in our quotation when we speak of our Stella.

'll' ''IllflflllllllllllllllllHllllmllllllllllllllllllllllllll lllllllllllllflllllllllllwmlifllllllllllllllll JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY In the Autumn of 1916, Bluffton College welcomed a new band of little travelers just beginning the last lap of their journey down the dusty, long, white road of ac- ademic education. We were neither illustrious, nor mighty nor preposessing-we were just Freshmen filled to overliowing with all the cmidities, faults and redeeming qual- ities of the average first year students. But every one seemed disposed to treat us kindly and we flourished rapidly under general approbation. The first class meeting saw the election of the following officers: President, Willis Toxvnwndg secretary-treasurer, Eddyth Bogartg class professor, Dean Byers. Dean Byers entertained us with a class party which every one felt to be an im- portant event in the amalgamation of the class into one body that would stand firm thruout the four years. Two other successful parties were given, one by the boys in honor of the co-eds and the other a breakfast, at which every one had a swimmingly good time. It was a jolly band that parted for the first summer vacation, for its members felt that a successful beginning had been made. The Fall of 1917 saw us back as Sophomores and the class elections were as follows: President, Donavin Baumgartnerg vice president, Hilda Leeteg secretary, Beulah Geigerg treasurer, Leo Welty, Lillian Lantz. The second year is usually filled with more trials than pleasures but we scarcely found it so. True, a few of our members had dropped out, and we sincerely regretted the loss of our first year president. The chief Soph. activities were in basketball for the varsity team was made up of nearly all second vear men. One half of the tennis team was a Soph. too, and we felt proud of Donnie both as our president and as one of our star athletes. Several class parties were given, all a brilliant success, even to the sleigh ride which was an upside down event. Toward the end of the year the war cloud settled over us but still the Soph. year closed happily, the class knit closer than ever by the threads that bind together the lives of college students. 1918 saw a new set of travelers. They had become a bit dusty from the long march and the 1'anks were greatly thinned. They were not less happy, only more quiet, as tho a sense of responsibility had touched them. That first morning in chapel, mingled sensations lay deep in the heaits of the Juniors because they felt the curious thrill of other lives looking up to them for an example of right conduct. The class was so cut in size that it scarcely knew itself. Both men and women were doing their bit, some as nurses, some on farms, many in uniform. Out of the sixty-two freshmen of 1916, fifteen came back Juniors. It was staggering and dis- couraging. The ycar's class elections were these: President, Hilda Leete, vice presidnt, Aaron Myers, secretary-treasurer, Betty Kunst. The Juniors filled many places of responsibility and kept up the tradition of the activity of the Junior class. During the year we gave a Christmas entertainment, lost our Class advisor and elected Mrs. Byers to serve in his stead. We put out the Ista as best we could, and we have been delightfully entertained at the home of Mr. Byers Last but not least comes the Junior play. Careless, attractive, Irish Peggy, impulsive, hot-headed, heartbreaking Jimmy, Millicent and Lucas, sarcastic Lady Crackenthorpe, Lord Archie with his interest in the good of the family, Mrs. O'Mara and Anthony with their spiders and Jack with the Hon. Mrs. Colquhoun will always be happy recollec- tions of All-of--a Sudden Peggy. Finally comes the last event, the farewell breakfast for the members of 1919. lf they enjoyed it half as much as we, the class is content. And now let the curtain fall slowly, let the orchestra take up the loved strains of the Alma Mater, let the lights wink out slowly after the last college member has gone. Now let each Junior speak softly to his classmate for a moment for it is the last time. Then let darkness come and night. When the sun rises on them tomorrow they will be Seniors. -58- ' llllllllllllllll HllllllllllllllllllllllllllHill!HllllilllllllllllllllllllHi!H HHHllllllllllllllllllllllllflillllllIll1l SOPHOMORE POEM A golden dawn burst o'er the eastern sky, A streak of coral it sent to herald the day, The purple shadows of the long, still night, Began to fade and gently stole away. A little bird awoke and said 'twas dawn, A tiny breeze spoke softly to the leaves, And bade them Whisper to their nearest mates, To join the mighty, morning symphonies. A little stream was touched with Morning's gold, As if it were the brook which Midas' hand, Turned from a rill of tumbling Water cold, To burnished metal, at the king's command. The Whole, Wide World a low obeisance made, And seemed a moment hushed in silent awe, As if it felt a mystic presence there, A unison of God and Nature's law. Then up spoke one: I can explain it all. 'Tis simple - science teaches of it now. On page nine hundred, one and twenty-five, If you will look, you'll find the Why and how.

Grateful to Providence that Nature had been dressed in green to make Freshmen less conspicuous, they struggled thru the mazes of matriculation, their little hearts fluttering like a clothes line on a March Monday. However, there is assurance in numbers, and when, on September fifteenth, 1917. the class of '21 held its first meet- ing, its members awoke to the fact that they composed the largest class Bluffton Col- lege had ever seen. Each wanderer suddenly realized that he was not the only faint- hearted, acutely self conscious, totally homesick person in the school. Here were about eighty others. Seeing this, they took heart -- and to such an extent that they promptly began to make history. Showing unusual wisdom for their years, they chose Dr. Langenwalter as class professor-and have been congratulating themselves ever since. Ted served as pres- ident, with Gene and Rowena filling the other offices. And thus they embarked upon their First year. On October nineteenth, they had their first class party-a hilarious time, in the Gym. The Sophomores endeavored to show their appreciation of the class by paying for the popco1'n for them. For this bit of kindness, the class of '21 has been able to overlook some of the shortcomings of their traditional rivals, and even, on one occasion, walked four miles thru mud and barbed wire to pay them a visit. Not understanding this spirit of brotherly love, Dean McPeak condemned some of the Freshman girls to two weeks of martyrdom. But great minds are often misunderstood. Ry the end of the first year, the class of '21 found itself famous as energy per- sonified. lt had proved its pet theory--that it takes wide awake, red blooded folks, with an abundance of pep, and a real sense of humor to do things-in basketball, base- ball, tennis, Y. M., Y. W., down the whole list, including lessons. Do things 7 -ask the faculty if they didn't. And in May, as the four-score parted and went their various ways, amid deep gloom and much moisture, the thought stood uppermost in each heart Oh, why can't we always be Freshies'? The summer passed, and on September tenth, the twenty-two that gathered mourned the absence of the rest, but rejoiced in the knowledge that so many of them were serving their country in one way or another. With undampened ardor, this little band set out to keep things going till the boys came home. Incidentally, they dis- covered that being Sophomores in 1918-19 was vastly supe1'ior to remaining Freshmen. They worked with a will and played with a will, but the work and the play had taken on a more serious tone. They had their bit to do and they did it, in a business-like manner. Wasn't the way in which their girls carried off the basketball championship business-like ? Parties gave way to more purposive gatherings, and it was not until January twenty-second, when their boys were returning, that they held a good old reunion. It was on this occasion that they realized that the war had been of direct benefit to them -the loss of the class of '20 had been their gain, for it added Delbert and Leo to their little band. However, tears were very near the surface that evening-not because the Freshmen triumphantly walked off with a pickle apiece-but because two of the dearest of their numbers were leaving. Everyone misses Ma Roth and Susie Mae inex- pressably. But thru the ups and downs, the smiles and the tears, the ups and the smiles still predominate, noticeably, with the celebrated Sophomores. The young hopefuls are sur- passing all expectations and altho it now takes three cents to send letters to fond Mamas and Papas back home, isn't it worth it when they can accompany the never- omitted request with such glowing reports of the good old class of '21? ...61, Till'I'l7?ll!!IllTlHiltiHllwlllllllllllllllllllllllll llHH!IUlllflflllllllllwlllllliillllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllll FRESHMEN POEM Hail! you jolly band of Freshmen!

What would a college be if there were no one for the Sophomores to tease and no one by whom the upper classmen could measure the extent of their progress. But the class of 1922 had the opportunity of serving another purpose which few Freshmen classes have had-that of playing a very vital part in holding the school together during the discouraging period of the Great Vilar when the upper classmen had left their places to join the ranks of a mightier army. We responded quickly to the invitations of the various student organizations and showed our willingness to sacrifice by going Over the Top in the United War Work campaign. The majority of the class joined a literary society and either the Y. M. or the Y. W. The fact that several members of the Y cabinets for next year are Freshmen, indicates the interest we have taken in religious affairs. We also were rep- resented at the Wooster conference. The co-eds by their carols are helping to give the Glee Club the success it has been having and thus are doing their part to advertise the college. In fact some of' the most popular numbers on the program, the soprano solos and the Funnyola are the con- tributions of Freshmen girls. But in no student activities did we fill so large a..gap as in athletics. Prospects for a varsity basketball season were indeed dim, for not one of the regular men of last year's team was back in school. A team was scraped together from somewhere in order that B. C. could at least have a short schedule that it might hold a place in state basketball. Having won the class championship, the Freshies soon found their places and fell into line, making up seventy-five percent of the team and taking a stand against the neighboring colleges until some of the men of last year's team came back to their old positions. No claim can be laid against us for not being cosmopolitan for the plucky west- erner from the Rockies of Washington, the Easter-ner of' the Appalachians of Pennsyl- vania, the sun-tanned fanner of' the Mississippi plains all joined whole-heartedly and soon elected a president whose leadership is in proportion to his longitude. Not long after we made our debut as a class in college society at a party in the Gym. The de- licious refreshments were much enjoyed, especially since a spark of originality was in- troduced by using a new kind of light while we were eating. Later we had an enjoyable mid-winter celebration after making a successful raid upon a South Main street kitchen, carrying off pickles, cocoa and candy as the spoils. But the history of our year would not be complete without mention of that merci- less enemy, Mr. Flu. Our plucky spirit came into evidence in the successful way in which we combated, at the same time, two very dangerous diseases-influenza and homesickness. Most Freshmen consider themselves very strong if they are immune from the mental indisposition, so we consider ourselves especially hearty in having warded off' two plagues. If we have lacked in quantity, we have filled that deficiency in qualityg we have done our bit and in so doing have developed characteristics which should make us in- valuable thru our college career and true exponents of the Bluffton spirit. -64- llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll ' lllllllllllllllllllllllIllllllllwmllllllllllllfllllllflllllt llllllllllllllllllllllllllltlllllltlllllllllllllllllllllllllllll ACADENHTROLL Clara Bixel, Clara Ummel, Clarence Kraft, Frank Mitchell, Paul Miller, Priscilla Leatherman, Amos Badertscher, Irma Kennel, Edna Steinman, Mae Steinman ACADEMY The Academy of Bluffton College is a department which as yet is unorganized in full, but oHe1's adequate opportunity to those who wish to secure high school work.

The arrange- ment of this course is the result of frankly facing the fact that most of the young men who desire to enter the ministry need more Work than is ofered in the English Bib'e course, but find it impossible to complete the graduate work. The entrance requirements are graduation from an accredited high school or academy. The prescribed Work for the Freshman and Sophomore years is the same as for the regular college student. During the Junior and Senior years the students will specialize in Seminary subjects. This course leads to the degree of Bachelor of Theology. SEMINARY FACULTY Dr. S. K. Mosiman .... Dr. J. H.

Leaders in the field of religious activity are obtained for the Bible Lectures. This year we had Rev. Charles L. Goodell, D. D., L. L. D., of New York City. Dr. Goodell is well known as an evangelistic pastor and writer, his book on Pastoral and Personal Evangelism being in the course of study in a large number of Theological Seminaries. Dr. Goodell has ably and stimulatingly addressed gatherings at Northfield, Winona, Chautauqua and the large assemblies of the Methodist church. He has been pastor of the largest churches in his denomination, has proved him- self a religious leader and for twenty years has been a pastor in New York City. Having been a Camp Religious Director for the greater part of the year and be- lieving very firmly in the opportunity of the hour for the Church of Jesus Christ, his lectures on the life of Jesus provided much material for thought on society as founded on the principles of Christ. , The subjects of his lectures were: The Mystery of Godliness g What are You Worth? g The Table Talk of Jesus , The High Cost of Life , The Friends of Jesus , The Greatest Story in the World , The Enthusiasm of Jesus , The Evangelism of Jesus g The Finality of Jesus and The Church and the Army . In the Christian Workers' Conference a day each was devoted to Missions, Sunday school and Christian Endeavor, Education, Pastoral Work and Denominational Interests. On Mission day, papers were read by the Mission Study classg on Sunday school and Christian Endeavor day, Miss Sylvia Tschantz of Columbus, Ohio, the Ohio State Junior Christian Endeavor Field Secretary, talked on The Juniors' Needs and Rev. Lloyd Blauch of Chicago, Illinois on The Church School a Real School . On Education day Mr. Maxwell H. Kratz of Philadelphia, Pa., gave a chapel address on The Lay1nan's Part in the Educational Work of Our Church . Rev. S. M. Musselman of Wayland, Iowa, and Rev. I. P. Moore of Elkhart, Indiana very ably discussed 'tThe New Emphasis on Pastoral Work under Present Conditions and Adapting Pastoral Work to Individ- ual Needs respectively. Rev. C. H. van der Smissen of Berne, Indiana, read a splen- did paper on Early Mennonite Confessions in which field he is an authority. In the short Bible Course President Mosiman gave a course in The Psalms, Dean Byers a course in Sunday-School Methods, Dean Langenwalter a course in Mission- ary progress among Mennonitesf' Miss Brenneman an English courseg and Miss Nyse- wander a course in Rudiments of Music and Church Music. -69- ' 19190 Vf 14' v 5 ' ' ' m f q1wwH1 w'yNWI 'E F x llllllmi ,1..i,., l AJ., L-L . 1 .1 ' 53:1 A gs:-I1 V. 1 . af ,T11 if N ,I I 1.4 ,X 3 A g! in -r n -J - -4 ' 0 XI 'g - if I, .el . il n H4 PE' nf.

Only a short time elapsed before all knew Miss Boehr and liked her, not lonly as an instructor but as a friend. The sphere of her influence has not been confined to the department in which she taught for she quickly interested herself in all the activities of the college and has done all in her power to make the school year a pleasant one for everyone who came in contact with her. The Home Economics department is a valuable one, designed particularly for those who wish to specialize in this sort of work, but it also offers excellent instruction to the students wishing a little practical knowledge of the domestic arts, together with the other lines of their education. Altho this department is quite young in the life of Bluff- ton College, the cou1'ses are growing each year, the past semester's work finding the laboratories almost filled. The Preparation of Foods class has left an equipment in the laboratory to the value of thirty-five dollars, part of which is the electric iron in the sewing room. A very successful candy sale was responsible for it all and the sweetmeats made and artistically packed by the girls, sold like hot cakes. The class has been divided into groups which have served each other with break- fasts, luncheons and dinners, to which outside guests were always invited. The know- ledge gained in the laboratories has been put to practical use. At diiferent times the girls have made and served refreshments at a number of clubs, banquets and parties given by some of the ladies of the town and they have also served in this capacity at various college affairs. At other times ladies have been invited to the cooking lab- oratory for inspection visits and to become acquainted with the Work being done the1'e. In fact the products of the laboratory became so popular during the year that it made no difference whether it were biscuits, noodles or hot soup, there was always some one on the place asking for more-no Wonder he grew so tall, so that we of the cooking class believe that the surest way to a man's heart is thru his stomach. Then hail! girls, let the cooking class find you among its members next year. ..73.. v WH!ITV!TIEST1'HHIEHI1HIIUVISW11HIUNIHIIHIHHIIH IIVHHHHH!!IIJJIIIIWIWWIIIIIIHIl1I1IHllllllHlHl1lH ---:fi gl ,, .VE15-,.:4H B- qc.

She is a graduate of the Chicago Art In- stitute and has become very popular in college circles. Some new phases of work have been added to the courses of last year. They are mechanical drawing, house planning, history of painting, design, costume design and house sanitation laboratory. The work of this department can be sunnnarized under three heads: 1 The normal art instruction, which provides training for elementary teachers. 2 The general art which includes work in crayon, water color and oils, crafts, china painting, design, costume design, house plans and composition. 3 The lecture courses on the history of architecture, painting, sculpture and or- nament. Interest has been growing quite rapidly in the whole department, not only among the art students but among the ladies of Bluffton, many of whom have come to take advantage of the remarkable opportunities offered by the courses. The products of the students are put on exhibition each spring and evince the splendid tutoring ability of Miss Kettunen. ...75...

From its initial meeting, until the close of the second semester of 1919, the members of the society have been proud of their band and proud that they were Alethians for the name stood for constant effort and worth while programs. Dr. Mosiman has often put forth the suggestion flrit the literary society is not an amateur theatrical troup, nor a division of the conservatory, but an organization formed for the pursuit of real work in the fields of oratory, argu- ment, essay and the study of the various periods of English, American and continental literature. The Alethians have always followed his suggestions in regard to the real content of the work of a literary group, did so from the beginning and have earned for themselves the name of the society that works. The Alethians are somewhat justified in the pride they take in their society and its members, for not only the college body, but even distant parts of the world are de- riving good from those who have been enrolled in the group. Alethians have gone into far countries and we are represented as follows: Jennie Gottshall Boehr, Chinag Chris- tine Habegger, China, Metta Lehman, China, Nettie Moser, South Americag Martha Burkhalter, India. From our list we can scarcely omit another name, for she whose name it is, is busily working to establish Sunday schools and Christian Endeavor societies over the state and is succeeding well. Who is she? Miss Sylvia Tschantz. As to this year's work, it has gone well on the whole. We were hindered some what by the flu ban as were all other societies, but the programs have been well at- tended and interesting. During the basketball season the girls conceived the idea of having a candy and sandwich sale from which they cleared some thirty dollars. Toward the end of the year, the Philo-Adelphians challenged us to a contest in which we were fortunate enough to win seven of the nine points as follows: debate, Leia Ferrall, Milton Sprungerg oration, Aaron Myers: essay, Hilda Lcete. All together the society feels satisfied with its year and earnestly hopes that the coming year will prove as successful to all the societies and to the Alethian band of 1919-20. ,80... llllillllllPII!HlllllllllIIllHtlHlfllglllllllllllllllllllHHH llllllflllllllIlllllllllllltllflllilllllHHHlllllllllllllllllllllll Aaron Myers Isaac Boehr Clair Studer Edison Sprunger Raymond Wulliman Clyde Tschantz Paul Hochstettler Donavin Baumgartner Theodore Scheid Noah Burkhalter Milton Sprunger Floyd Pannabecker Donald Augsburger William Scothorn First Semester Second Semester President ......

When school opened in the fall and the first meeting was held, it was found that only a bare handful were present to answer to the call of last year's roll. Many of them had during the year entered the service of our country and several of our men were at that time in the midst of it over there. Several others had been lost thru graduation or other causes. Because of the small number of men in the Freshman class, the roll was not much increased thru that channel. If, however, quality is strengthened by concentration, the Athenians of 1918-19 are no exception. Small in numbers yet they were of no small quality as far as their lit- erary qualifications. This was shown by the fact that all of the programs held were of a pure literary nature and included excellent talks, eloquent orations and forceful and convincing debates. Quite a bit of attention was paid to the development of extempor- aneous speeches and thru these the real literary and oratorical ability of different members was often brought to the foreground. Several interesting and instructive parliamentary drills were also conducted in which the members were taught the in- tricacies connected with the conducting of a business meeting. The second semester brought encouragement to the spirit of the society in the form of old members returning to the work from the different army camps. This sem- ester was begun with renewed vigor in our meetings and also in the further beautify- ing of our literary room. In this latter venture the fioors and woodwork were stained a dark color to match more favorably the chairs and tables. The Athenians have been very well represented in all student activities during' the past year and all of them have held one or more positions of trust and responsibility. We should not forget to mention here some of the activities of the men who were only temporarily dropped from the Athenian membership and who, we feel sure, will strengthen greatly our society upon their return. Among these are fly Welty, Ezra Xloser, Noah Soldner and Glen Schryer. all in the overseas serviceg Lieut. Kennion Kauffman who is teaching this year, Oliver Schumacher and Joe Habegger still at Camp Sherman. To this we must add as worthy of mention. large numbers of Alumni Athen- ians who are making' their mark in the great wide world. We feel positive that the Athenian literary society and the fine training received therein has been a great inspiration to these men new in school. . 382.- llllllllllhllZlfllllllllllHlllillfffffltllglllllIlllllllllllllllllllt Hlllllllllllllllllllllllilglilwlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll lllllllllllllllVIIIIIHHIllllllllllglkllmlllllllllIIHHHIIIHM lIIIIIVJHJUJIHJIIYIIIIIHHITMWIIIIHII1Vllllllllllllllllllllll Irene Koepke Stella Lugibill Miss Boehr Miss Brenneman Lillie Gratz Rebecca Hoge Esta Lugibill Mae Heller Rosella Biederman Mary Auten Marie Ringelman Lelia Roth Edna Hanley Clara Ummel Florence Yoder PHILOMATHEAN ROLL- ,831 Vera Althaus Verna Davidson Miss Nysewander Miss Kettunen Freeda Roth Elvira Sutter Kahtoma Strow Helen Schwartzentraub Irma Kennel Cleora Basinger Ruth Ringelman Lillian Lantz Mable Smith Ruth Strubhar l l ll' -llllllllllllllltllglilgllllllllllllllllllllllllll lllllllllllllllllllllllllllgllmilfllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll l Pri-sirlent PHILOMATHEAN OFFICERS Marie Ringelman Secretary .. ....

After a certain length of time the privilege of mem- bership was extended to the new students and as a resu't of this invitation, twenty-two new girls added their names to the Philo Roster, making a total of forty-six members. Literary work during the first semester suffered severely because of tl'e influenza ban. Meetings were irregular attendance small and interest lacking because of the frequent and prolonged semi-quarantine which pre- vented any student assemblages except classes. Many former Adelphian members recently discharged from the service returned at the beginning of the second semester. In honor of these respected brothers and as a reception for the new membe1's of both so- cieties, the Philo-Adelphians held a ve1'y successful entertainment in the literary rooms on the evening of February 18. The special features of the program were the impromptu speeches and music and the boxing matches. Last but not least, delicious refreshments were served. The literary spirit of the second semester was greater in quantity and superior in quality to the spirit of the preceding term. Many very in- teresting and instructive programs have been rendered. It is to be hoped that next year's work may be still more of an improvement upon that so well begun this year. Twenty-nine former Philos have entered the teaching profession since leaving Bluffton College. . May Carolus Crouse. the organizer of the College Y. W. C. A. and at present engaged in negro educational work was a former Phi'omathean. Others of similar accomplishments might be mentioned. We feel that all the literary societies are conducting a useful series of programs, which provide something for the student which he cannot gain from his classes-poise and ease when addressing the public. May this development of talents continue each year with increasing success. .-84.. lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllHllllglllllllllllllllllllllllllb lllllllllllllllllllllllllllglllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll Jacob Jantz Frank Mitchell Amos Badertscher Harold Guth Harold Alderfer Joseph Rediger William Schumacher Menno Lehman Obern Ramseyer Raymond Schryer Byron Basinger Harry Wenger ADELPHIAN ROLL ADELPHIAN OFFICERS Fred Welty President ..... ....

It must be conceded that literary activity receives less support. outside the immediate student body than any other college activities. The Christian Associations have their traveling secretaries. while athletics are supported by a conference, which offers valuable encouragement and moral support. However the Adel- phian Literary society did not abate its development, either in quality 01' quantity. The opening of college last fall. found the majority of the old mem- bers in service. Those remaining. however. undauntedly got busy and soon found themselves supported by plenty of new members who realized the advantages otfered by the Adelphians. Weekly meetings were held thruout the uncertain days of the first semester and by the beginning of the second semester. the men in service began to return and materially added to the interest and enthusiasm of literary work. The programs consisted of original papers. orations. debates. While the Peace Conference was in ses- sion we had a weekly report given on the program and decisions of that body. The development of impromptu speaking received considerable attention also. Another phase of our work was instruction in parliamen- tary rules to give those of our members who are destined to become Con- gressmen an introduction to their future occupation. Believing that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy , we had a joint social with our sister society. the Philomatheans. We a.re now con- vinced. due to conclusive evidence. that we can consume eats as well as literary productions. IIere's to the Adelphians. C ourteous. ambitious, true. Tried and faithful comrades.

It has eight members and a chairman, two delegates being sent from each society to represent their interests in the council. Under the jurisdiction of this body comes the sequence of the programs, that is, the arrangement of the single, joint-closed and joint-open moetingsg it makes all the plans for the Inter-collegiate debates and attends to the arrangement of any contests of a literary nature within the college. The council is a most important body in school affairs and itself is frequently the scene of animated discussions. This year the group has been particularly efficient and made possible an inter- society contest that aroused much interest in the school. Miss Mueller has made an excellent chairman and by her efforts has greatly increased enthusiasm for literary affairs in the college. ROLL 3 i Alethian ...... ......... ....

It was organized mainly in the interests of those pursuing scientiiic studies but its meetings, however, are attended by many who are interested in science only as a side line. Some very in- teresting talks have been given at the monthly meetings of the club, many of them dwelling particularly upon the use made of science in warfare. ...89..

The Press Club is very hard to find for it meets only once or twice a year, the first time usually at Mr. Triplett's studio and the second time at Ropp Hall where the annual banquet is held. At all other periods the club is apparently non-existent. Not a great many know that the college boasts of a press or- ganization, only a few could tell its roll and a still smaller group its purpose-yet it is a vital organ of the student body, doing its work eificiently and quietly-that of pub- lishing the Xilitmarsum. This is as it should be, in so far as the efficiency clause per- tains to the case, but it should operate less quietly. There should be weekly or at least monthly meetings of the club at which both editorial and business matters should come up for discussion. The Press Club, as it is, is composed of the censor and eight members of the Witmarsum staii'-these should be the nucleus of the organization--not the -en- tire body. ' In the club should be included members from every class with recognized lit- erary ability. At the beginning of the year the Witmarsum staif might make it a point to interview the English professors, in order to discover the writers of original themes, reports, reviews and poems, for the Press Club really should come under the supervision of the English department. Another addition to the Press Club might be made in the admission of the lsta staff to membership. Some members of the An- nual staff have had valuable training and possibly could be turned to real literary ac- quisitions to the club. Reporters are especially important in the work of a success- ful paper. A corps of them should be constantly on the look-out for news and should be sent out for scoops and to cover addresses as they are on any daily. The Editor should be informed of the worth while lectures, concerts, games and other activities in order that he might send out a reporter to get the data first hand. The W'itmarsu.m, as most of the student body knows, is a weekly paper. It was an excellent idea to publish it in this form, but it is scarcely enough, for the literary talent of the school cannot be developed in so small a space. A tri-annual might be put out by the entire Press Club and the experience gained from this SO1't of work would cer- tainly be of inestimable worth to the lsta Staff of each year, for it would have practic- al experience, for at least a year before it plunged into the work of the Annual. Be- sides the Club should be definitely located in an office where cuts and copy could be care- fully kept. It is also advisable to keep files of previous publications-but the Press Club, like the Bedouin of the desert, is a poor roving sect with its lodging where neces- sity overtakes it. We, of the lsta staff, would like to suggest, if the faculty is willing, that at the beginning of next year, the Club move into the Ista room at the Science Hall and make it the Press office. The Press Club needs the fair criticism and co-operation of both the students and and faculty. VVe, who have no part in the publication of a paper, who only read it witl1 passing comment, can scarcely understand the druggery and immense amount of work it takes to put out even a small paper, and how the staif may become bitterly discour- aged for want of support. The Club needs College and local interest, it needs to be firmly grounded in college activities, in short, it needs to be put on the College map to stay. -91... 1 TlZ'l',i'llllllIllIllillffffllllgllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllliillllllllllllSlflllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll PENNSYLVANIA t'LllIS.

The delegation from the sunny West across the Mississippi formed its organiza- tion in the year of 1918. Thru this club a feeling of fellowship is received which helps to bridge the distances between them and their respective homes. In quest of knowledge they came to Bluffton College from Washington, California, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska and Canada. Each year the biggest feature is the ban- quet they have as a culmination of their working together in the various classes and organizations. In each individual you find an interest duly respectful to the state he or she represents. Their activity in the classroom and other organizations pervade the spirit of the college which is shown thru art, music, athletics and scholarship. In the social line they show their readiness for good, wholesome wit and jollity turned into unequalled humor. Their ambitions in life seek not places of ease and leisure, but work that will push onward and upward the best of human society. ..93... , - ,IIQ I Vxul Q 19195 Q dj ' l' ISTA J V I ' W , 71 '--A., Q.. l '- ' ffj' V 1 , . gg., , o, '-fa ' 'S , ,, 7114. 11,5 -n ' , i 1 7m 'J:,H H V J -94- El El ACTIVITIES Christian Qrganizaiions BLLTFFTON COLIJEGIE 1918-19 El El 'X 1 S19 ., is 1 ISTA ze., Y.

A word fraught with tender memories and hallowed memories to one so fortunate as to have been at this most beautiful place from the standpoint of scenery, and most stimulating and inspiring from a religious standpoint. VV'hile not as la1'ge as usual on account of the war, the conference last summer was no exception in its interest and in its vital contribution to the college Y. M. C. A. Indeed the spirit of sacrifice and service was the dominant note of the conference, permeated thruout by reality and all its implications in the life of the individual and in the life of nations. Nestled in the majestic hills of Massachusetts, the pleasant little country village of Northneld, and in particular the campus of Northfield Seminary, with its fir, oak and maple trees offering inviting shade, its winding trails fringed with verdant grass, shrubbery and iiowersg Round Top, one of the most inspiring spots of Northfield, where lie peacefully restingtthe great evangelist Moody and his wife, and where in fair weather are held the evening assemblies of the conference: and having as a back- ground the Conneticut River, setting off all its beauty and splendor: is possibly one of the most ideal places for the finding of one's self thru a close personal contact with one's self and one's God. The Bluffton College delegates the past summer were: Harvey Bauman, Austin Keiser and Aaron Myers. One of the strongest attractions of the past summer was Captain McNeal, a chaplain in the Canadian army, who showed unusual insight into the real issues and consequences of the great world war. In his talks on The Religious Challenge from the Front g The Central Place of Christ in our Religious Life and f'Guiding Prin- ciples in Choosing a Life's Wo1'k':, he showed the fact of a new religion, the sublime idealism, andthe larger conception of christianity which this war brings with it. He portrayed Christ as occupying the central place in personal salvation, in character and in death and presented as criteria for the choice of a life work. the recognition of each person as distinct creation, salvation, the study of our own personality under God's guidance and obedience to God's will. Robert E. Speer gave two splendid addresses on The Fearlessness of Christ and Why Should Students Suppo1't Missions in lVar Time? , bringing out the very traits that anyone who knows Dr. Speer recognizes as those that make him such a power for good. He characterized Christ as being unafraid of men, opinions or sentiment, failure or responsibility and showed the Wh5'y' of missions as consisting in their pfomotion of the very things the soldiers are fighting forg namely peace and international good will, righteousness, human service, human unity and concord and internationalism. Dr. John R. Mott gave two inspiring addresses on Reality which proved to be the keynote of the entire conference and on the Morning Watch and its need and use by all those who desire to make their lives count for the most for themselves and for the world. Besides these men we had Dr. Kerr of Pittsburgh who spoke on The Bible in the Light of the Warn and The Appeal of the Christian Ministry . Bishop McGeary of South Carolina presented the topic The Church of Jesus Christ . Lieutenant Osbome, the well known prison reformer ,addressed the conference and Mel Trotter, the noted evangelist gave us a refreshing talk concerning the good old-fashioned religion. His quartet furnished music of an exceptionally good grade for the entire conference. Robert Wilder whose greatness consists in his humility, closed the conference with a marvelous address on Simplicity and the childlike attitude towards life as shown in personal salvation, right views with reference to temptation, in our attitude toward the Bible, in prayer and in personal work. Like He blessed and used Paul, God is willing to bless and use us if we respond. -97 I'l'?12I,l'llllllllllllltllgllllillllllllllllllllllllllllllt lllllllllllllllllllllllllllfkilfllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll PRESIDENTS' COUNCIL Blutl'ton College was represented at the Ohio State Y. M. C. A. con- ference at Columbus, Ohio, March 12 and 13, 1919. It was a special conference of all Y. M. C. A. organizations of the state including city, county, railroad and college Y. M. C. A's, to discuss the matter of extension and how to meet the increased demand for effec- tive Y. M. C. A. work during this reconstruction period. A budget of 385,000.00 was voted, an increase of 9550,000.00 over last year. OTTERBEIN CONFERENCE The Young Men's Christian Associations of Ohio held their annual spring training conference at Otterbein University, Westerville, Ohio, April 11, 12 and 13. The conference opened Friday evening with song in which great in- terest was manifested by the delegates. Dad Elliot was the main speaker of the evening. He gave a short ad- dress on the subject The College-A Challenge , what it was, what it is and what it should be. He further stated that this is the age when people are looking for practical christianity and that the Y. M. C. A. is an ideal working ground for young men. The Saturday session opened in the college chapel, the main speaker being Captain J. H. Mcliendrick of Winnipeg, Canada, who delivered a timely and 'forceful message on Bible Study, a Source of Life who based his reasons on his life's experience, having seen active se1'vice for over four years in the Canadian army. The afternoon session was taken up by the discussion on committee service, evangelistic deputations and financial support of the Y. M. C. A. Another session of the conference which was exceptionally well at- tended was the Geneva Banquet in the evening to announce the Lake Ge- neva Conference to be held June 13 - 22. K. A. Kennedy, student secretary for the international committee of the Y. M. C. A. strongly emphasized the necessity of having every cabinet man at Geneva. The Sunday session was opened by H. L. Seamans. The session was a discussion on membership, policy and religious education in which the delegates took a great interest and active part. The conference adjourned at 12:30. Bluffton College was represented by Professor Berky, Jacob Jantz and I ra Baumgartner. 198- lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllilNSW!!HlllllllllllllllllllHHH lHillHHlllllllllllllllllglflllllllllHillllllllllllllllllllll Y.

On January 29. a stag was held to welcome the men returning from the service. The usual good time was enjoyed, a splendid feature of the evening being a stunt by the army fellows.

M. or Y. W. work, who has ever attended one of the summer conferences of either of these associations knows what a vast store house of inspiring experiences it can hold. It is for this reason that every Y. W. girl who has never been to Eaglesme1'e, looks forward to the experience with an indescribable feeling of anticipation, while the girl who has been there, the mere mention of the word Eagles- mere, brings back a host of never to be forgotten memories. Last year this conference was held June 21-30. The Bluffton dele- gates, Ruth Strubhar, Ella Garber and Elrena Tschantz, arrived with other delegates of the Ohio and West Virginia district on the evening of the 21st, amidst a downpour of rain. A rather glum and forlorn looking crowd it was, but the feeling of friendliness and good fellowship which seemed to hover about all, together with the beauty and naiveness of this inspiring mount- ain top, soon made all unpleasantness vanish. The aim of these conferences is to give every girl ten days of worth- while experiences, but they must also be well balanced days. The spiritual, mental and social must all be emphasized and each must have its time and place on the day's program. To make this possible the forenoons were spent in class study and discussions, as well as group conferences for the technic- al work, the afternoons were spent in sports of all kinds, not the least of which were the long hiking expeditions on the Arrow paths up and down the mountain. The evenings were devoted to lectures given by the leading men and women present. What ten days spent in this manner means in the life of a young wom- an, cannot be expressed in words. Coming in Contact with great men and women, forming new friendships and acquaintances, being brought face to face with world-wide challenges and opportunities-all these are worth- while experiences, but most significant of all, Christ was brought before every girl as a living reality which should be given supreme eminence in every life. In consideration of all this the Bluffton Association may well deem it worth-while to, every year, make these mountain top experiences possible, for just as many girls as possible. -102- llilllllllHHlllllllllllIIHill!Hlmlllllllllllllllllllllllll HillllHH!lllllllllllllftlllliltlll4ll!!lllllllllllllllllllllll THE Y. W. C. A. CABINET COUNCIL On Saturday and Sunday, March lst and 2nd, the Bluffton Y. W. C. A. girls entertained the cabinet girls from four of our neighboring colleges, Findlay, Heidelberg, Defiance and Ohio Northern. Twenty-one cabinet girls and three secretaries were registered. Of the latter, Miss Solt and Miss Klenck, were student secretaries of the Ohio and West Virginia field, the third, Miss Alice Anderson is now a member of the National board. The conference opened on Saturday at 1 130 in the afternoon. Since the secretaries and several of the delegates attended the National Y. W. conference at Evanston, Ill., the entire afternoon was spent in re-echoing the Evanston conference and in talking of the subjects which had been dis- cussed there. Many present day problems were brought before the girls and then time was given for open discussion. The main theme was, how- ever, that we are at the threshold of a new era. What place will the col- lege woman hold in this new world 'T After the meeting, a committee was appointed to sum up the gist of the meeting in a few words. They termed their summary Endings and reported them as follows: 1--The new world is evident and what we need is a practicaL Christian-- ity where self may be expressed and not suppressed. 2-That this should be a better industrial era, where folk will treat their neighbors as human beings. 3-The church should vitalize Christ with a live enthusiasm. 4-To have this changing world recognized on the campus we must have Christ in us as individuals. What is there on our campus that Christ would be ashamed of if He were present? 5-If every girl would keep the morning watch, many problems would be solved. The evening session was in charge of Miss Williams from Defiance and the main theme of discussion was the relation of the Y. W. to the campus. After this session, the girls witnessed a peppy basketball game between the Bluffton and Defiance girls. After the game a social hour was spent at Ropp Hall where every one was kept busy getting acquainted and having a good time. Sunday morning the Ropp Hall girls entertained all the visitors in their rooms at breakfast. After breakfast a short prayer service was followed by departmental conferences. At the regular Sunday school hour all the girls went to the Mennonite church where they attended serv- ices. The conference was concluded by a message of great importance given by Miss Anderson on Sunday afternoon. This message brot the girls face to face with the great challenge of life service. Christ's resourcefulness in meeting the problems of His day was cited as a living example. Making Christ real in our lives, gives us power to make Him real to others. A spirit of comradship was present thruout the entire conference and was such as to make the conference an ever to be remembered experience in the life of every girl present. -103- ll' if ' .'fiZ'l!l'!fZWWQSWSHHfllil5llliH!ll?lTlill lHIIIHIllliflllllllillllliilimlllilllllIllllllllllllllllllllI Y.

M. and Y. W. gave an informal reception in the read- ing rooin. A line was formed and thus everyone was introduced to the faculty and to the former students. Later slips of paper were handed out and prizes were given to those who got the most signatures in a given time. This immediately mingled the groups and everyone began to feel at ease. Games were played and several of the college men gave a very humorous imitation of a military drill, while a group of girls staged a house meeting. The presidents of both organizations, the faculty advisors and Dean Langenwalter made short but excellent addresses which pointed out the value of the Y to the College student. THE Y. W. C. A. HIKE On Thursday, September 26, the Y. W. C. A. entertained the girls of the college with a hike. At 4:30 in the afternoon most of the girls had assembled at Ropp Hall and soon started for Eaton's Woods with baskets and packages. After a picturesque spot had been found which was suit- able for a fire it was not long until every one had hot wieners with buns and pickles. Then coffee, cookies and peaches disappeared in short order and the girls started for home with their empty baskets testifying to hearty appetites. All the new girls felt that the Y. W. had shown them a good time and that it was a college organization well worth knowing. -105- ll l Z 1 ll Wlilflllfillllf lM511llfllllllllllllllllllll .llllllllIIlllfffllfllllllwllllllllfTHilllllllllllllllllllllllll ROLL Bochr, Bicflcrmun, Moycr, Roth, Myers, Keiscr, Millcr, Buuniaui.

Whether this be true or not, the An- nual Conference of the Student Volunteer Union of Northern Ohio which met at Wooster College, Wooster, Ohio, saw present a delegation of seventeen men and women of Bluff- ton. Tho the conference did not formally begin till Friday evening, March 7th, early Friday morning the delegation was happily on its way to Lima, whence it journeyed to Wooster via the Pennsy. The delegation consisted of two men, representing the Y. M. C. A., R. C. Wulliman and Obern Ramseyer, two women representing the Y. W. C. A., Edna Steinman and Marie Ringelman, and twelve other delegates as follows: Ella Garber, Lelia Roth, Rosella Biederman, Edna Hanley, Hermina Augspurger, Lenore Miller, Elrena Tschantz, Sylvia Tschantz, Harvey Bauman, Austin Keiser, Aaron My- ers, S. T. Moyer, and Floyd Pannabecker. The conference followed the customary program of beginning on Friday evening and continuing after the big opening session on Friday evening thruout Saturday and Sunday, March 8th and 9th, During these days with the watch word of the conference, The Whole World for Christ, there were again enjoyed the addresses and meetings with men and Women from the four corners of the earth. Edward B. Haskell of Bul- garia Dr, J. C. Garrett of China, Ralph Harlow of Turkey and Miss Charlotte Penfield of this country will long remain in the memory of the two hundred delegates assembled from about ten colleges and universities of Northern Ohio. And when the conference came to a close, the Bluffton delegation was a unit in declaring that the happy experience, the deepened inspiration, the broadened knowledge and vision and quickened enthusiasm were matters which could not be described, but which need be experienced to be appreciated. So on Monday, March 10th, with new ideals of Christianity, with renewed zeal, and with spirits high, the main part of the delegation turned homeward to Blufton, while the remaining members, regulars also turned homeward tho not to Bluffton. -107- lllllllllllllll lllllllllllllllllllllllllllIlllillffffiflillglllllllllllllllllllllllll lllllllllllllllllllllllllllfslilillillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll EVANSTON CONFERENCE Bluffton was one of the fortunate Colleges in the United States which was privil- eged to send a Y. W. C. A. delegate to the National Convention held at Evanston, Illinois, February 20-23 inclusive. The late winter of 1919 with the challenge of a potentially new world before us, with the problems of rebuilding to face, with the emergence of spiritual values-and the special demand for dedication of life to selfless sacrificial service seemed to make im- perative the calling of a National Women's Student Conference. If this conference were to be described in one big word, the most fitting would be big, it was the embodiment of bigness in its representation, statistics, subject matter. as may be seen from its speakers, who were eminent men and women, in thought as was seen in the reports of both faculty and student findings committee. Here, amid the beautiful surroundings, the beautiful trees and lake and away from the bustle of the metropolis-girls from the south met with those of the north, the east met with those of the west and in the short days every girl put forth a great effort to get acquainted with as many girls as she could and the girls will never for-get the days when they could discuss their problems with each other and it was with great pleasure that they submitted their findings to the whole conference. The groups agreed that: A greater knowledge of world conditions, a new sense of social responsibility, a vital, personal relationship with Jesus Christ, the leader of the new world are vital issues and make up a value which we received and which each girl could take back to her own community. The mornings were spent in hearing the messages of the various speakers, men and women, who, today are great leaders working for the bet- terment of humanity. The afternoons were open so that each girl could have some time for rest and recreation and could also have an opportunity of getting acquainted. No doubt the greatest thing which each girl gained was the new sense of individual responsibility. They realized as never before that the need of today is an active re- ligion. Passive religion has no longer a place in the world. We must definitely live Christ's teachings. -108- !!' 4 1 :KI -T u fi!

LEHMANN CONSERVATORY No department of Bluifton College has enjoyed a greater prosperity of growth and influence than has the depa1'tment of music, and this is undoubtedly due to the unfailing and untiring efforts of its dean, Mr. Lehmann. Altho war conditions affected the enrollment somewhat this year, a return to normal and even increased attendance is imminent. Everywhere in America, a wider interest in things musical and especially American music and musicians is being evidenced. The day of the American composer, the American singer and instrumentalist and the American patron of good music is here. There is an ever increasing interest in music study and music making and hear- ing. A vigorous campaign is being waged for a national conservatory of music and a bureau in the President's cabinet to standardize music teaching in the entire country as well as to g'ive music its proper place as a cultural and practical course of study. Bluffton College Conservatory has always stood for the training of musicians of breadth of understanding and education. The Literary-Music course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts, is designed to meet these needs. Besides aiming to develop teaching and artist musicians, the department offers work, much of it with college credit, to students in other departments of the college. Courses in theory, organ, piano, o1'chestral and band instruments, solo and chorus singing and allied work in philosophy and languages as well as recital opportunities are given. --111- m:mmmrrr1armmrrmm44rum mmummwzzaaaeffrwxrsssmw CHORAL SOCIETY Bon-hr, Schumacher.

In the entire life of Bluffton, it is the only body that has survived the beginnings of the college history. It has sung two or three concerts during each of its nineteen years oi' existence. In spite of the celebrated 'fflu ban , President Noah Burkhalter and con- ductor Mark Evans marshalled the forces of the society and the college orchestra into a fine Messiah program, accompanied by Pearl Bogart who has been the society's ac- companist since her earliest childhood. The Mfssiali soloists were: Estelle Lugibill '20, soprano, Cleora Basinger, '21, contraltog C. O. Lehmann, tenorg G. A. Lehmann, bass.. For the past few years the organization has cooperated with the local High School in putting on the college music and high school lecture course. In November of this year the Great Lakes Quintet played before a big crowd here, as the first number of the season. While in Bluffton the Quintet received telegraphic orders to report for the memorable first trip of President Wilson and party to the Paris Peace Conference. The Quintet was selected to entertain the Presidential party during their sea journey and their selection speaks for the caliber of the courses offered by the society, now as well as in former years. On January 7th, Miss Christine Langenhan, dramatic soprano ap- peared With Miss Pearl Bogart, pianist, in one of the most pleasing song recitals ever heard in Bluffton. Both performers proved themselves artists. The society presented the commencement program on Monday, May 26, rendering Elgar's King Olafv. Professor Evans conducted and Miss Bogart accompanied. The soloists Were: Miss Estelle Lugibill, soprano, James Allen Grubb, Chicago, tenor and G. A. Lehmann, baritonep Miss Harriet McConnell, a young American contralto, sang here April 'ith under auspices of the society. She presented a remarkable program in a truly artistic man- ner, ably assisted by Mrs. John Cable, Lima's most distinguished pianist. Mrs. Cable substituted at the last moment for Miss Bogart who was ill. An added number of the Music Course arranged by the society is set for Wed- nesday,, May 28, of commencement week. Elmer Ende, formerly of Boston and now of New Bremen and recently discharged from the army will give a big concert of in- teresting numbers on the Harriet Humiston organ. -113- V ,..., - f ...

Even the heavens were weeping as Bluffton College sent away its Glee Club to dispel gloom thru Indiana, Illinois and Iowa. Twenty rays of sunshine-for Baby Opal lived up to her name, missed the car and had to be spirited to Lima by Dad, the never-failing. For twenty-two days they followed the rain, missing it only once or twice. But rain was a mere triiie. The girls took to the water like ducks. And mud-they fairly reveled in it, and waxed boastful of the perils they braved in their travels thru it. The answer to all apologies for bad roads became This is nothing compared to the mud at the last place . True, in the first few days they gripped the sides of the cars when they skidded within a half-inch of foity foot chasms, but thiy soon grcv. accustomed to the way cars have of making thiity miles out of a tin mile jaunt by thaif' drunken wanderings over all portions of the mud rivers which once were called roads. In Illinois they abandoned the struggling Lizzies and resorted to buggies, appearing before concerts in scarcely recognizable condition, speckled beautifully from head to foot. In spite of all predictions of exhaustion, both of strength and of good nature, our little sunbeams never lost their brightness-and indeed why should they? For every where they were welcomed so open-heartedly, treated so royally and fed on the fat of the land. Living on company meals is a great life-if you don't fatten. Mother Mosiman handled her big family in a manner that would put to shame the Old Woman Who Lived In a Shoe. But in spite of her watchful care, Elfriede trifled with a microbe and had to be sent home from Pulaski. Estelle joined them at Hopedale and great was the rejoicing, for Bluffton College Glee Club is tremendously proud of its soloists, and Elfriede's misfortune threatened to dim the sunshine that was so much needed in all that rain. They certainly achieved their purpose-to dispel gloom-for everywhere they were followed by reports Nothing but praise. Come again. Ruthis readings were always immensely enjoyed and the old Funnyola was pronounced a scream . But everywhere, the brightest shining light was their beloved directress, Pearl. The girls appreciate her highly and well they may for she is a marvel-the making of the Glee Club, and then some. She could do anything. If any of the soloists could not appear, Pearl ably took her place. If anything went wrong, Pearl fixed it. And when Pearl played, folks sat up and took notice. The only Worry the Glee Club has about Pearl is that it can never make her feel how much it appreciates her. Singing, sleeping, eating, studying tin spare moments, emphasis on the spare! and writing letters-Esta holds the record, for obvious reasons-they were always busy. So, the girls romped thru their trip, enjoying every minute of it. They met all kinds of folks, had all kinds of experiences fand that expresses volumesj, and are none the worse for wear. The days raced away at an incredible rate, but they're not denying that, on the twenty-third day they were mighty glad to get home. For home is a mighty good place after all. -115- 2 L W5ZTWIQWIHHIHHlHHHHH!iHt IHIHIGIHWHIHIJOPIIISVTMWEIHllliiTilliilliliilililliiiil Topfllurkluiltf-i', Lc-hmzm, WuIliman,,Tschz1ntz, Jantz.

The big catastrophe that occurred on that evening and falmostj left the village treasury and the bank empty, was as little expected as an aero- plane raid and the people would not have been more surprized if a raid had occured. There was no warning. Things just came, happened, and moved on, leaving aside, from a lot of debris sprinkled on the street in front of the bank, a crowd of people badly frightened but very much wiser than they were an hour before, and - a man in the county jail. Hon. Horace Q. Bland, the town intellect and enrolled with a correspon- dence law school said, It was a gross inconsis- tancy of fate to crowd so much into one night when there were many other nights on which a little excitement would have been appreciated to break the tremendous dullnessf' The man in the county jail was found guilty. His trial had been speedy, and when the Ladies' Aid society reached the same conclusion, there could be no more doubt as to the justice of the trial. And so the people had at least one con- solation-they had some one securely locked in, whom they could blame as much as they pleased. It is a quieting satisfaction to know that the blame is getting where it belongs-it seems to put the proper balance to things-it makes the events of the world run as we have an idea they should be run. The incident was taken by many people as a moral lesson to the community. Wrinkled old ladies lifted their grandchildren to the high window to get a peep at the bad man. For days afte1'wards, the experience proved a very efficient incentive for many a little fellow to carry in the wood without delay, even though he felt convinced that he was too tired for the extra exertion, and big cells with great iron bars were mixed in the dreams of a score of little girls in Kettlesburg. Some of the more conscientious felt a guilty pang whenever they thought of the incident. Their own foolish whim which had its particular part in the affair haunted them. This feeling grew until it was taken up by the Sewing circle. They disposed of the matter lightly. The man had evil in his heart and it had to come out. So it did, and the bait which lured it out came from the people themselves. This one weakness that exploded the whole affair was a burning desire for colors-very silly and hannless in itself, it is true, but it served the purpose of the villian. Had the temptation come at any other point, the good people would have met it with disgust, but when it appealed to the one vulnerable spot, as temptations have a knack of doing, the people cautiously considered, then, reconsidered, finally, yielded, and-almost fell. The people showed their artistic ingenuity in poles along the street which served no other purpose at all save to carry a wooden ball and display the red and yellow spirals, in flaring WELCOME signs, signboards, advertisements at the entrance of the village, and then, just as the ingenuity of the people seemed exhausted, the smooth man appeared. Kettlesburg had never been especially aimable toward strangers. There was a feeling of Ket- tlesburg for Kettlesburgiansu as Jim O. Caw ex pressed it. But with the smooth stranger ,things were different. He was a dapper little man, well met and reassuring. His habits were pleasantly compromising and his frock coat, white cuffs, lent a pleasing air of dignity to the whole. He listened by the hour to the stories of veterans under the blacksmith's tree and more than that, he seemed to enjoy them. In a few days he was calling them by their first names and was equally at home with the children. In a week after his arrival he was part of the town and so when he offered a system which he guaranteed to triple the lighting capacity of the town, his offer was eagerly accepted and the smooth voiced man found himself street com- missioner with full access to the village treasury. The villagers boosted the project enthusiastically --here at last were their fondest hopes to be realized. The dapper little man took his success modestly and set to work. Months passed and the people groped patiently along the lightless streets, three times they re- filled the treasury. When a project was on foot in which the people were interested, the money question was no real problem in Kettlesburg. The few objectors to the plan were silenced when the system was finished in grand style without even a postponement of date. The arrangement was gorgeous. Great circles made with electric lamps hung above the town pump and on the street corners. On the bank, on the cream station and on Frederick Hanson's dry goods store, KETTLESBURG was spelled in huge letters. The men slapped each other on the back, winked bravely in the blinding light, and declared that they surely got tl1eir 1noney's worth this time. In all the glory that was heaped upon him, the little man remained modest and unassuming, He decided to make Kettlesburg his home and the people felt fiattered. Partly as a reward and in part as a novelty, he was put up as a candidate for the office of village marshal. The job of vil- lage police was a gentleman's job in Kettlesburg. -119- llllllllllllllllllllllllllllIlilIfflltllglllllllllllllllllllllllll lllllllllllllllllllllllllllfilltlllilllIIlllllIllllllllllllilllllllll It was something like being on a pension. Noth- ing ever happened in Kettlesburg and no one ever expected anything to happen-there was no reason why it should. But Kettlesburg insisted on a police. He was something of an ornament staying around the depot and now especially so if they could have one in frock coat and white cuffs. There was real opposition to the new man. The old regulars who had as a candidate the man who had been marshal for twenty-six consecutive years, were determined to keep frock coats out ol politics. They offered 170 objections to the man- that would not have been safe-but they hinted at dire possibilities. There were also a number who affiliated themselves with neither party but who were certain that the fate of the town was at stake. They did not specify the party which would bring the calamity with it--it was enough to decide that after the election. The new man was backed by enough men, tfor the most part ex-members of the Bull Moose partyl to swing the majority of the votes to his side. The women were all for the stanger. That was the partic- ular thing that hurt Jim O. Caw. the regular can- didate, he was loosing the support of th, women. Caw was frightened on the night of July lil. Th.- candidates were taking advantage of the time honored system of exposing their platform on the night preceding the election, and incidentally doing some clectioneering. But Caw meant to do his part. A significant thing happened a week before the election. Caw was forced to leave the village for a few days and the women seeing the opportunity, elected their candidate as deputy for a week. On the same evening, at about nine o'clock, a man sneaked into the shadow of the big church on the hill. lie cast a furtive look into the darkness and apparently satisfied that all was well, he paused. He was a queer figure standing alone on thc top of the lonely hill, in frock coat whose pockets bulged out awkwardly and in white cuffs which now hung dirty and shabby from far out his sleeves. It was the smooth voiced man. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with the sleeve of his coat and leered into the valley. Be- low, not a stone's throw ahead but down, he could see the people, a motley crowd of flashing colors, clustered about the town pump. In their midst he saw a man on a soapbox, apparently much in- terested in what he was saying. The crowd seemed indilferent. The man in the church shadow chuckled. That was his opponent on the soapbox, apparently losing hope. But an hour before he had been on that same soapbox, the idol of the crowd, and down there somewhere in that mass of living confetti, hc was supposed to be. Again the man chuckled. No, he was not where he was supposed to beg he was up in the shadow of the big church. At last he had escaped his admirers! From the people his eyes turned to the elabor- ate figurcs of the new lighting system. He burst into laughter but there was a trace of regret in his voice. The town clock struck nine-thirty. It sounded unpleasantly wierd out on the lonely hill. The man turned to go. He had been on the hill long enough. Just then a pause in the noise below drew his attention. He stopped and listened- a frightened scream pierced the uncanny stillness. Plainly he heard The bank's blowd up. A determined look Hitted across the face of the man. He must go to his people-he was deputy police. He turned quickly. A stone upon which he stepped, slipped, there was a tearing noise, a dull thud-the smooth appearing man lay motion- less-unconscious. The smooth appearing man lay on the side of the hill, immovable, and yet very active. Probab- ly he was rehearsing things he had seen. Per- haps he was recalling what deep in his inner self he hoped to be true, but which he did not want badly enough to determine to realize when he was in real life-when he was not lying on thc side of the hill, immovable. In his new realm he was Mr. Jim O. Caw, the honored proprietor of the Caw Livery and Feed Stable and dearly beloved marshal of Kettlesburg. Twenty-six years he had kept the town from harm. His was a life of perfect contentment- that contentment that can come only in the life of a great benefactor. He was esteemed, he was honored, he was loved. There had always been a whim prevalent among the people of Kettlesburg that a town's prosperity was in direct proportion to the brill- iancy of its street lights. And so when a man appeared with a smooth voice, a frock coat and protruding white cuffs, in addition to a system which he guaranteed to triple the town's lighting capacity, his offer was immediately accepted. Caw supported the plan enthusiastically. Why shouldn't a town have what she wants if she's able to pay for it? Caw wanted the system and wanted it badly. But he could never understand what connection there was between frock coats and an electric lighting system, and behind all his enthusiasm lurkcd a fear. Caw was suspicious. Why would a man wear those trappins when hc would be a whole lot more comfortable in somethin else, now tell me that. The lights were completed in due time and were a great success. Caw felt a peculiar pride -120- UHIHIHIEIIJHYIIHNHHIHWHW!!IIYIIIIIHHWWHIHt IHHHIllfllllllllllllllllfilflililll1HHNIllllllllllllllllilllll for he credited himself with a large share of the success- it might take better with the town people he thought if the name of a local man were connected with the project and no name suggested itself so forcefully to Caw as his own. It was when the people stopped talking about the lights and attention began to center on the little man, that Caw became suspicious. Then came the news that the stranger was being boosted for village marshal. Caw was at sea. He had known that his people were whimsical but he had never thought that it would come to this. It was a case of desertion- cold blooded sepa- ratin. As he thought the matter over, he be- came more and more convinced that he had seen it all from the beginning-not clearly, true-and he could also foresee the end. The stranger would get into power, that is, would become vil- lage marshal, and that would be the end of things. Caw vowed on the instance that he would beat the stranger and save Kettlesburg, even if she did not want to be saved. He offered his opposition entirely for the good of the town. The fact that the candidate would probably displace him was put into the back- ground. Even if he did not openly defy the man before he learned his intention of becoming mar- shal. It would not have been advisable to pub- iish anything before-the man might not have finished the system, he might have looted the treasury-there were all kinds of possibilities. But now that Caw's suspicions were beginning to be realized, he meant to fight and to fight hard. Caw was especially hurt by the attitude taken by the women. For years the gap between the regular party and the women's interests had widened. He was very willing to compromise, that is, honorably but the women did not seem similarly inclined. As soon as the stranger's can- didacy had been suggested the women gave it their full support. The marshal often had dreams of how by some great act he would win the ladies' party to himself. For him, that would have been a moment of supreme happiness. But for the present he felt the most he could do was to expose the scheming man. The results were indifferent. Caw took his ill success with a mar- tyr's air. He felt more and more convinced that he was in the class of unappreciated prophets. It was a puzzle to him why nature did not take more men with keen insight-he felt it would have been so much easier for him. In the weeks preceding the election the rela- tion between husband and wife in those homes where both parties were represented, grew more strained. When the movemen't was first begun, many husbands would not have been surprised to return from work at noon to find the lady of the house leaving for Washington politics. Indeed, they were rather surprised that nothing did hap- pen. At seven o'clock the lights in the village's one street were lit and at the town pump old Jake Parsons with his gilt edged accordion under his arm, hobbled on the stage-which consisted of the box taken from Herman Collins' new piano which the grocer ordered without charging any admission - and behind Jake Parsons limped Sam Dolling with his fiddle. The diminutive or- chestra struck wholeheartedly into America, the music throbbing visibly through the heads and feet of the musicians. A group of boys who had no one to scrub their faces and who appeared early, were the audience. The crowd had not yet arrived. The old men were the Hrst to appear. They came in long black coats and stiffly starched white and red striped shirts which stuck out full like an infiated balloon. One or two carried med- als won in the war. Under the blacksmith's ma- ple however, where they held their afternoon ses- sions all told stories valiant enough to brand them all heroes. These old heroes had seen many an election for village police. They had helped elect Jim O.Caw village marshall twenty-six times, but this time things were different. Consarn them women, said Peter Smith and he voiced quite accurately the sentiment of the entire group of veterans. David Wilkins had a new idea, which wasn't anything very extraordinary. Satisfying himself that no intruder was within hearing distance, he whispered to the select few. There's going to be another war. Just between yous and I, of course. And that war's going to be with the women. With the increasing numbers, Caw at last ap- peared. He was in frock coat and cuffs-an ar- rangement in which he looked very uncomfort- able. He returned the forced hopeful greetings of the veterans with a sad smile. He was too much grieved for words. But when the time came to speak he was determined to unload. To the many encouragements of the regulars, Caw was silent. He had planned to take charge of the meeting himself, he had expected to win favor through his rash carelessness. But when evening arrived and the crowd clamored for music it was not Jim O. Caw who valiantly announced the number. The musical end of the program was a success. Jake Parsons and Sam Doling were general fav- orites. Their party affiliations were not known, in fact it is to be doubted if they had any. They were claimed by both elements. They were men, and naturally therefore, regulars. But the wom- en also had their claims, Jake was a general fav- orite among the ladies and a bachelor, while ru- -121- llllllllllllilllllllllllllHIlllllillillfilllllmllllllllllllllllllllllll lHilllIHlllllllllllllllilliilfllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll mors had it that Sam who was also a bachelor, might marry in the course of a few years. The numbers were enthusiastically received in spite of Sam's fiddle which was occasionally playing in a different tempo than Parsons' accordion. The applause was graciously received. Sam showed a few gold teeth and Jake displayed a row of teeth which were not gold. Then they played an encore that was longer than the first selection. The real business of' the evening began. The little man was first to speak. Never before had he looked so neat and grand. The people thought what an ornament he would be for the office of village police. Every one knew that this office was but a stepping stone to higher things-per- haps even the mayorality. There was a feeling among every one that he was their man before he began speaking. The people neither remem- bered nor cared what he said. That he stood on a soap box was enough for them. Jim Caw saw this. The people were frenzied, he concluded. His turn came and he hit hard. lt was his last opportunity. As he was speaking he was conscious that his oratory had never been so powerful. The people were attentive-they couldn't help it, he knew. But he also had a quaint feeling that within they had hardened their hearts. He was in the midst of a spasm of oratory when a boy stumbled breathlessly through the crowd. Caw saw him vaguely. The appeal in the young fellow's eyes drew his attention-it was a look of terror. The boy put his hand to his mouth and yelled something. Ordinarily Caw would not have stopped-but now he did. Caw was prepared to hear anything--besides, the pause was effective. Well, Johnnie '? O, Mr. Caw, something turrible has happened. Really it is something turrible. I seeid it with my own eyes. I ---- Now Johnnie, none of that side evidence. Give us plain facts. If you please sir screached Johnnie, much frightened, The bank's blowed up! There was a pause--utter stillness. Then a hundred voices gasped, The banks blowed up. The rest of the gasps were lost in the noise of command and action. The crowd with Jim Caw at its head turned its back to the lights and raced for the bank two block distant. Half the distance being traveled, they approached more cautiously. Jim Caw stopped. He eommandeer- ed a posse which neared the bank by the way of the hardware store. By quick glances around the corner of the bank they saw a light in the store. Caw asked for a volunteer to approach the building and learn the status of affairs . No one coveted the experiment and Caw in a fit of devotion rushed into the open. There were no robbers in the bank. The light was in all proba- bility a blind. The boy's story was by no means an exaggeration. What had been the safe was scattered on the fioor and in the street. The robber in all probability was far in the country by this time. Caw commandeered autos and organized a huge posse and then in the rush of the departure he was left behind. Caw had never felt a similar experience. He stood helpless in the midst of his opponents-the women, after he himself had sent a posse in search of the thief. They had seen his misfortune and Caw seemed more kindly toward them. They asked his opinion which he gave freely. Nevertheless the situation was embarrassing. To escape from them he started out of town on foot. Perhaps he would meet with one of his cars. He took the way of the hill where the big church stood. When he had reached the top he turned to look down in the valley. There below but a stone's throw ahead but down, he saw the elaborate system of lights. He saw a knot of women climbing the hill after him. He turned to retreat down on the other side. In the dim moonlight, just before him he saw a dark form outlined on the ground. In a minute he had Hashed his fiashlight. The sight made him start. There before him lay the smooth voiced man. Caw came nearer. He leaned over the man. Something stuck out of the bulging pockets-it was a thick roll of bills! Upon the head of the stranger was a bloody bruise. The truth dawned upon Caw. Here at his feet he had the bank robber and the man who wanted to replace him as marshal. At that moment the women came up. They saw Caw kneeling at the side of the man with the bills sticking out of his pockets. A glance between them and Caw sull'iced. At last they had a common enemy. They were united. Thus thought the smooth voiced man as he lay on the side of the hill with a bloody bruise on his forehead and the pockets of his frock coat standing out conspicuously. The smooth appearing man opened his eyes. He saw but dimly. He looked about wistfully- longingly. Then he saw the police and the women grinning at him. Caw jerked him roughly by the collar. Come along Old Frockcoat, said Caw. You'll first get some information about prison housing before you'll be police. The wistful look left the little man's face. He straightened, shook the dirt from his clothes as a horse shakes himself, set his jaws and went obediently. And Jim O. Caw was elected police with the full support of the women. -122- A llilillllllllllIHHIIIHVHHHH!JSWIIllllllllllllilllllllllll. HllllllIIHHIllllllllllllmlwfliEillllEW 'l ' TILL WE MEET AGAIN FRIEND. Together We rambled thru childhood's creations Or nailed our dares to the tallest trees, Together we sutured our highest ambitions And furled our dreams to the rustling breeze.

He tugged at my heart, its fair blossoms he ravished. As blindly, manful, he grasped my handy In khaki he fondled and faithfully planted - For-get-me-nots in my arid sands. BROTHER The trailing arbutus has blossomed and vanished, An lavished nectar of Fairy brew, And ever exuded Elysian fragrance That calmed our squalls like the Lethean dew. The tulip that threaten in mocking derision And Haunts contempt at the racks of ageg Once measured the heights of our climbingsg now bmshes His khaki boot like a sprig of sage. His parting has riven my mem'ries asunder, And plucked the beams from my childhoodls starg My bosom's divested, dishevelled my musings, The Wind is twisting my hearth ajar. I feel in my breast such an infinite longing, As troubles man nigh the brink of death, To vie with him binding the Lily of Mankind, Or share his fate with my lingr'ing breath. -123- ' llllllllllllllllllIH1lllillfffflllgllllllllllllllllllllHHH IIlllllllllillllllllllllllgllmlwlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll FATHER His cheeks were less rosy, his forehead more furrowed, Than when he fanned with his heart her flame, There beamed from his countenance love and devotion, That drove the plights of his youth to shame. He harkened to lisps that were music to angelsg They tweaked his nose with a childish coo, His face was enthroned with a bower of kisses That shone like droplets of sunny dew. He crumbled them close to the springs of his courage And sighed, for Daddy must hie him hence:- The Huns with torches are biding rapine Where wilted Lilies lie blanched in France. He saved for the last the embrace of his sweetheart, Eyes dry, but staunch, seered the plighted kiss, Tears hidden so bravely now deluge in somewhere, Rills will nurture the Fleur-de-lys. TILL WE MEET AGAIN Stand firm, with a spirit that knows no concession, Where Thunder runs thru gay babes his thrust, Where virgins are mothers, and mothers die baring Their milkless breasts before ghouls of lust. Like incense my prayers shall ascend to Golgotha You share with Christ to make our realm, While pleading to aid you, I'm pleating three wreaths of For-get-me-nots for your crown in Heaven. Till virtue be clad in its lily-white raiment, Or love for home rule the acts of men, Till mothers may suckle the blood of their choosing, And nations pray to their God again. Till then shall I cherish your absence as sacred, And breathe a plea with each throb of my soul, That God may accept in the pleats of my fancy, Else your spilt ichor, an Aureole. 11241 llllllllllllllllllllllllllIIllllillgltllgllllllllllllllllllllllllld llllllllIHllllllllllllllwllllltlllllilllllllllllllllllllllllllll Twenty years from tonight then fellows- twenty years it is. Southard seemed to gaze out across the years as he spoke and he saw, as tho he dreamed it, the golden flicker of the candles- the masses of roses, sweeter as they drooped,- the faces of the men of Beta Psi turned toward him in the glow. Dale at the foot of the ban- quet board, smiled, and caught Southard's wist- ful eyes back from the far away. Time and future faded again into the dimness and South- ard finished his speech. It was the love feast with which Beta Psi an- nually honored her departing Seniors. Resolves to keep all sadness carefully concealed under shirt bosoms had made mirth and merriment. But when the toasts had started round, when the memories that had lurked had at last slipped out, and over-leaped each resolve, the senior men of Beta Psi recalled almost sacredly the happiness of college years and knew the pain of the end. Southard it was who stood to propose the re- union. There might be class reunions-there might be fraternity reunions-but this was to be the reunion of Beta Psi, nineteen twelve, after twenty years. They put it far enough ahead that it might not interfere with preparation years- years in which life works were being launched- years in which other interests might make the reunion impossible. Twenty years from tonight, then, fellows- twenty years it is. Southard's dreams called back by the i1'repressible Billy's grin came anew as the talk went round. f'Joe, .if you forget to bring Mrs. Joe along, this' sextette will wait upon you in a body indig- nant, and send you home to get her. Don't fool yourself, Tommy Fitch. If you were the right sex, all you'd have to bring back would be a teapot, a green parrot, and a pussy cat. Now, here boy get wise before it's too late. If you knew what you'd missed here in college by your inconsistent bachelorhood, -and Joe Arch, hailed familiarly as Fusser tried for the fortieth time to argue the attractions of woman- kind in the hope of reforming the benedict of the fraternity. . Not for mine, Tom Fitch laughed at length. But I'll swoop down in my biplane ily about upon the assembled throng. How's that, Dr. Bob? Can I stop on the way and pick you up with all your colonies of triplobastic, protozoic germs and bacteria? Or will you be settled al- ready-Dr. Robert Grayson, holding down the science sette-germ specialist-instructor of future quacks and medicine men, colleague of- let me introduce you, gentlemen-the Professor Paul Stone Crothers, the supporter of unity, co- herence and emphasis and the sworn enemy of split infmitives and blushing brides. And Billy either you'll be dead or you'll grin. Aw clam up, Tommy Bobby Grayson dammed the flood of the prophet's eloquence. Let's drink it down to the year and the place twenty years ahead. The six seniors rose and responded. Their faces seemed younger and more boyish than ever in the soft candle light. Then the deep voices blended almost gaily in the song that swung to a rollicking close with: Here's to Beta Psi, drink her down, down down! The others were on their feet before the words had echoed into silence, the toast was pledged, and then, as if a common desire to keep cheer in the atmosphere impelled them, all together broke into their old Stein Song, - For it's always fair weather, When good fellows get together. Billy Dale sang lustily and smiled bravely, for he knew what must come. His happy, sorrow- shunning heart dreaded the moment when the seniors would sing, as they always did and always would at the close of the Beta Psi love-feast, the Vale song. But the moment came, and John Southard's deep eyes smiled back at him then looked into the years again. Time ever flowing, bids us be going, Dear Alma Mater, far from thee- And inevitably the words came where the voices were not always so clear, where lips al- most stumbled over the thot they worded: Eastward and westward, far divided, Northward and southward, shall we go. Sadness smote John's heart: even Billy's face was solemn but he sang a little louder, and Joe Arch and Tom Fitch and Bobby Grayson and Paul Crothers each sang a little louder too, and the voices were steady and full 'ere the chorus rang out: Brother with brother, Thou, our dear mother, In thee united thus sing we. John's thots were too full for sleep that night. Ever and ever his senses bore to him again the glow of the candles, the richness of the dying roses, snatches of song, bits of mandolin melody, and-so far away at the end of the banquet table -Billy Dale's smile as if it were a dream. Tommy Fitch's words came back to him like a pain: Billy, either you'll be dead or you'll grin. The unconscious truth of them made the pain keener. Billy Dale and John Southardf' Their names had been linked since their Freshman days. Their -125- Z'l Il'Z TlTl'illllll'lllllltllQItlHllllllllllllllllllllllllt llllllllllllllllllllllllllglifillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll natures were supplementary. In the depths of .lohn's life. Billy saw the realization of all that he could love in a fellow man, and he fol- lowed .Iohn's lead with a boyish devotion. But not even his great love for John could overcome an inherent irresponsibility. Billy Dale stood for careless happiness: he acted upon impulse, or under the easy influence of John, whom he be- lieved infallible. But when John's stronger per- sonality was not in touch with Billy, the boy slipped and slid thru life in a happy-go-lucky fashion as ready to die as he was to laugh. .Iohn's life plans were laid. He had dreamed of' himself' as a great doctor ever since his little boy days, but as doors had opened before him, his ambition had changed a little, and it was to surgery that he wished to devote his energies. He had been three years in college when the moment came to him for another decision. Infiuence of lives that had gone before and a deep conscious- ness ol' his convictions had not made it difficult for him to promise his services to the mission field. 'I'o Billy this seemed a tremendous and sell'-sacrificing act. He longed to be half' so val- orous, and in a high tide of enthusiastic devotion, he, too, pledged his life with John's. Now as John thot, he wondered if his influence or l!illy's own irresponsible nature would control l!illy's career. Only John had faith in the boy. To others he was hopeless. Either you'll be dead or you'll grin had truly voiced their sen- timents. Hilly's a brick.

The Seniors of llc-ta l'si. 1912. went to east and west, to north and south-far divided. There were years in which they met, in which they kept in touch with each other. But they were full years and still fuller with the passing of' years. Southard was realizing his ambitions. Ho had made for himself a name in the medical world, and at last in the mission world. Nineteen com- meneenients were a hart of the past, and the twentieth was tomorrow in the old college town. lt was the day ol' the reunion. the anniversary of that memorable lUVt l'l'ilSt. when the Beta Psi men of nineteen twelve pledged a remembrance of' each other that should bring them together again after a score of years. llalf' way around the world .Iohn Southard rode under the ancient Arabian heavens, and memories of dead time were real again and clear and mul- titudinous as the southern stars shining above his dreams. The night silence was ccholess. The horses traveled surely and noiselessly over the rough, desert country. John was on a journey inland from Muscat. What the mission world had expected and feared had come, and Islam's unsheathed sword was wielded with a mighty arm from Muscat to Aden, and from Mecca to Medina, There was no place hidden from its vengeance. The white cross of Christ bore the stains of struggle, and beneath its shadow the western world had taken a stand against the East. Again, after centuries new crusaders fought for their faith and their sign in the land of Mohammed, and Joh'i's 'tin- istering presence was with the host. Vfliere Christian or Moslem suffered. the red cross on John's white sleeve stood for relief and peace. Only a week before, a call for a doctor ard muses had come from Bahila, ninety miles inlard, and John had volunteered to cross the desert to the sufferers. He and Feysil, the Bedouin guide, had traveled by night to escape the heat. They had rested under the scraggy acaciasg they had halted beside the mediaeval mud fortifications, and they had slept in the wady valleys. The whole road was a barren desert. Each passing Moslem had prayed curses of Allah on the head of the riders hostily. It was the fourth night of their journey, and Ajeeb, a small, hilltop village lay before them. John's memories alone were unwearied as he drooped in the saddle. The four days in the des- ert had given him time for thot for the first time in months. The recollections of the thousands of days that had dimmed into as many nights surged back to him, for he knew that it was the twentieth year--he knew-ah, this night he knew was the twentieth anniversary. He saw again that banquet table of twenty years ago. The faces were far away. Billy Dale's smile hurt his memory. He could almost catch the fragrance of the dying roses, and thru the mist that veiled his eyes, the stars seemed guttering candles. He lived again thru the time that lay between. The holiness of an infinite love stole over him- a love forever fresh and immortal as the soul of her who had passed across his days-his wife. A stir of freshness over the sand was as cooling as the white quiet of the hospital wards of years passed, when he had stepped within from a city's sun and stifle. Days under blue Persian skies shone in his vision-days filled with work to thc very sun's setting, yet days that brought peace. Then across his peace had flashed a sword, up- risings, massacres, blood. A cause and a cross was threatened. But the conquering sign still held sway, tho lives had perished, and souls had passed to keep it on high. John saw the Beta Psi love-feast again-saw Billy's smile. Ah, Billy,-Billy, who had pledged a life of service-and now-. But John's faith -126- llllllllllllllllllllllllllHllHtllfffifltlgllllllllllllllllllllllllllf lHlllllIIlllllllllllllllllffillllfilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll had crumbled long ago. Now-John bitterly re- flected, now when every Christian arm and tongue and mind should support the eternal purpose, Billy Dale was wanting-Billy Dale had broken faith. John had not heard of him for years. Then the boy had been on consular service in Europe-living a careless life, untroubled by the pledge of his youthful earnestness-youthful in- discretion-Billy himself would have put it. The Bedouin guide called John back from his revery by thrusting a cocked rifle across his sad- dle bow. They had entered the Hitta pass which lay between them and Ajeeb, and the suspicious Feysil was taking precaution against hostile Moslems of the village who might slay the Chris- tian doctor with the Red Cross. But John laugh- ed. He was unafraid. He even hummed a snatch of college song, for the spirit of twenty years ago still brooded over his mind. He could not shake off the picture of that banquet scene. They might even now be gathering, he knew Paul Crothers-Professor Paul Crothers, Lieutenant Thomas Fitch, Dr. Robert Grayson, Joseph Arch of Wall Street, and, ah yes, Billy.- They would all be there. They would talk of him. John smiled sadly. There would be roses and speeches and music, ah those old songs- For it's always fair weather, When good fellows get together. John whistled the tune ever so softly, for the first mud huts of Ajeep lay to the left of them asleep under the morning stars.Bahila lay furth- er on to the south, perhaps a four hours journey. For it's always fair weather. Yes, they would sing that song. And they would lift their steins and drink it down to Beta Psi. Unconsciously, involuntarily John's lips voiced his thot: Here's to Beta Psi, drink her down, Here's to Beta Psi, drink her down, Here's to Beta Psi, drink her down ,drink her down. Here's to Beta Psi drink her down, down, down. And softly the old fraternity song of the west, floated across the mystic, eastern dawn. Feysil, the guide gave a snort of disgust at John's indiscretion and rode fiercely along side with his carbine cocked as a bearded native with ragged skirts ran from a dimly lighted house of stone on the village highway. But the Arab held up his hands for peace, and Feysil, still doubtful halted the horses. Would the great white doctor of the Red Cross, Allah be merciful to him, step to the aid of a brother who had traveled from Bahila this night, and who had fainted in Ajeeb, with his exhaustion and wounds 7 There had been a murderous mas- sacre in the Bahila---Allah's wrath be upon war- fare and promoters of warfare, and the white brother was journeying to Muscat for medicine and help for the dying. John was out of the saddle with a swing, and was following the gabbling native to the low door, and into a smoky room. On a mat in the corner, a slim figure in di1'ty white lay limp and crumpled. His face was bearded slightly with fair silky hair, and John noticed that the eyes were blue as he drowsily opened them at their entrance. The man's fevered senses whirled de- lirously, and he murmured low and incoherently. John bent over the figure and his skilled lingers set rapidly to work. Then some how across his unexpectant senses a meaning dawned for him in the man's delirium, fairweatherl 'good fellowsf' They are singing it now, he muttered, now, now. No, I heard them a moment ago. And with a violent effort he pushed himself up- right. John, stupified with wonder and emotion, was too numb to touch him. The blue eyes star- ed brightly, the lips parted into a smile beneath the soft beard, and gaily, as if he even now sat at the love-feast, he sang: Here's to Beta Psi, drink her down, down, down. John caught him as he writhed and reeled back- wards and in John Southard's arms Billy Dale smiled the old smile, and died for the conquering cross. -127-- F- 1:-1-,.,,vwr I I I r 1 A .

The ever increasing popularity of base ball seems to be finding a responsive echo in our own institution. This year has been the banner year in Bluffton so far as base ball is concerned. From the time Coach Berky issued the call for candidates on the first of April until the present time each member of the squad has been on his toes and going after it every minute. The team has been rather fortunate this year in having quite a number of old men brick in school ready to take up their old posts on the diamond. Several new men also showed promising material and these together with several men almost entirely new at the game made up the squad of twenty-five men which reported for the first practise of the season. This number of players has been kept quite constant and very rarely were there not enough players to make up two teams. This year's most doubtful part of the team was probably the battery, all of last year's battery men being in the service. Fortunately Hank showed up second sem- ester and started his old line of twirling stunts. Howe's place behind the bat has been very ably filled by Studer and Tschantz, the former holding the big mitt the greater part of the time. Later in the season Leo Welty began showing fine foim in the box and has pitched several fine games. His long suit is Hsmokei' and a deadly out-drop. Studer's place at first was filled by Doc', Bixel who played with the Bluffton nine in 1915. Eddie Stauffer, elected captain, came back to fill his old place at second. Augs- burger duplicated last year's performances at short. Alderfer, the Pennsylvania youngster very ably covered the third sack during practically all the games. The out- field contenders were Baumgartner, Tschantz, R. Bixel, Jantz, Welty and Bauman. Coach Berky is to be highly commended on his excellent work with the team and their successes are largely due to his complete knowledge of the game and his ability to tell the men about it. Up to the present writing three games have been played, one with Findlay, one with Defiance and one with Bowling Green. The weather man has been playing severe havoc with the schedule, as well as making practices somewhat infrequent. ff,-V911 up- 1 FINDLAY AT FINDLAY Findlay 7-Bluffton 15. The opener of the season was played at Findlay and our men succeeded in walking away with the bacon in easy style. The slaughter started in the first inning and con- tinued thruout. The day was cold and not conducive to good base ball, this resulted in several errors being accredited to both teams. Hochstettler occupied the box and kept Findlay's seven hits well scattered besides striking out nine men. -131- llllllllllHHIli!Hllmlllllllllllllllllllllllllf lllllllllllllllllllllllllllfiliillillllllllllllllllllllli 1 M 1 9l'iilII lE !l'T' Q H 'Ifff + FlTA,,1.,.m.mlilrlrlil -132- illlllllllllllllllllllllllillllilWilHlllllllllllllllllllllllIM llllllllllllllllllllllllllliillillflllIHilllllillllllllillllllllll DEFIANCE AT BLUFFTON Defiance 9-Bluffton 3. Bluffton tasted the first defeat of the season when on the second of May, nine De- fiance men crossed the pan to Bluffton's three. Defiance assaulted our. batters with a pitcher who combined speed with a wonderful variety of twisters that seemed hard to hit. Several costly errors at critical moments also helped spill the soup for Blufton. Welty replaced Hank in the seventh and demonstrated his line of tricks. Defiance drew a four run lead in the first and second which seemed hard to overcome. BLUFFTON AT BOWLING GREEN Bowling Green 0-Bluffton 12 A defiant, steady,, unceasing rain greeted the Bluffton outfit at Bowling Green and the entire game was played on a soaked field. The downpour increased and as a con- sequence the slaughter was stopped at the end of the sixth. Leo occupied the rubber for Bluffton and exhibited a splendid brand of ball, retiring eleven men by the strike- out route and allowed only two clean hits. In the second inning he retired the oppon- ents with nine pitched balls. Bluffton slugged the pill for eleven hits, two of them reaching for two bases. Half of the runs were recorded in the sixth inning. The stiffest opposition of the season will be faced against O. N. U. This team has been making a first-class showing in the Ohio conference and two good games are look- ed for. Manager Studer has worked hard and faithfully in arranging the schedule and piloting the team. The following schedule was arranged with the Northwestern Ohio Association, also two games with O. N. U.

The success of any athletic team depends upon the manager of the team. It is the duty of the various team managers to prepare 2 strong schedule, have charge of all paraphernalia and to keep an account of the finances of the team. To Mgr. Lehman of the Basketball team, We owe much praise and many thanks for his excellent work as manager of the Purple and White squad. Altho the arranging of the schedule is a big pa.rt of the Worries of any manager, the Bernite arranged a schedule that is a credit to any smaller institution. The intensive work of the S. A. T. C. made it difficult for many of the schools to do much along athletic lines but we were fortunate in having a complete schedule. In Lehmann We had a player as Well as manager. Here was a man that was on his toes all of the time, elusive as an eel and as wary as an eagle. Benny was the high scorer of the team making nearly one-third of the points. He was very reliable on long shots, and very rarely missed a short toss. Altho Lehman was a very fast man on the floor, he never made many extravmovements, but made every motion count. The financial worry of the team is the hardest part of any such management but Menno brought the team thru safely from that standpoint. His work as chairman of the tournament committee should also be mentioned here as much of the credit for the success of the High School meet should be given to him. -135- It lf ll ij'lil,ll-lflBlflglllllllllllllllllllllllllg lllllllllllllllllllllllllmlllllllllllllllllllll l' llll ' BOYS' VARSITY ROLL Buurmgurtnvr, Alflf,-rf'1-i', Hoclmstf-ttlvr, Schm-ill, Wullilnan, Stufla-V, Wt-lty, Bauman lhw-riiln-1' 14 ll'-c-4-inbf-1' 18 .lunuury 10 .lunuury IG .Iunuury IT l f-ln'uury Fo-ln'u:n'y I f-hruury Fr-ln'ua1'y I a-bruury l 1-ln'u:1l'y Nlurvh 4 Murvh 8 .l:inuzu'y 25 .lzmuury 31 Imhnizxn, Shelly Cuptui n- Ilonivun Baumgartnvr Tolr-rlo Finflluy l'l1-ifln-llu-115 Wilmington Antiovh l,f'flU.llf'f' Bowling fir:-on 'l'olc-rlo Antiorh Bowling flrf-1-n Convorflia St. John's Wilmington IN'fll1flt'ff O.

Bluffton has been noted for some time for her prowess along the line of basketball and the past year has been no exception to the rule. Altho the school was working under great trials and difficulties because of the great war we were able to put out a team that had fine success thruout the entire season. At the beginning of the past season there was not a single letter man in school and we had to form a team around several of last year's subs. All of last year's men were in the service of Uncle Sam and several were serving with the forces in France. Gordon Bixel, Ezra Moser and Vernon Ramseyer were in France, Capt. Baumgartner was in the S. A. T. C. at Ohio State while Allen Day was at Ohio Northern as a member of the S. A. 'l'. C., Harold Guth and Menno Lehman, two of last year's subs were the only old men back on the job. The most of the other men were also youngsters at the game and it was rather difficult to organize a winning team. Risser of Illinois was the only other man in school that had any previous experience in the sport. Wulliman worked hard on forward and was able to work well with Lehman on the other cage position. Studer and Good were hard at work on the defensive position and shifted about consid- erably. The first game of the season was played with the fast Toledo U. team and the Purple and White squad lost to the more experienced aggregation. The next game was a victory for the team when they defeated the Findlay men. This victory over our rivals put a new impetus to the practice because the student body realized that there was some good material in school. Then came Christmas and a decided change in the Varsity lineup. In the first place several of the B men were discharged from the army and several of the other play- ers failed to return. Fuzz Guth had the misfortune of breaking a knee cap which kept him 0E the Hoor for the rest of the season. Risser and Good remained at home as they felt that they we1'e needed at home. Delbert Welty and Donivan Baumgartner came back from the army and registered for work. This put new pep in the team but the weak position was at center. Alderfer and Wulliman filled this position quite well but were rather weak on the tip off. Several games were played with this team but the squad failed to work up the proper team work. At the beginnig of the second semester Hank Hochstettler was back at work and all felt that the weak spot at center was taken care of because of his previous work in that position. The fellows immediately started to win games and had fair success the rest of the season. Several games were lost after that time but the reason for this was lack of a foul shooter. It has been ascertained that six out of the eight games lost were thru this fault. This again shows that a team must have a sure foul shot if it is to win the games. 3133?- 1 'lllllllllllllIIllIlillgllllglllllllllllllllllllllllllit lllllllllllllllllllllllllwllllliillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll Much of the credit for the success of the team should be given to coach, John Bixel. Just because of his interest in the team and because of his love of the game, he was wil- ling to sacrifice much for the team and came down and worked hard all of the time. The student body should always have honorable mention because of the loyal sup- port which they gave to the team the most of the season as they were backing the team all of the time. Their loyalty gave the team a new determination and the most of the games showed that fight to a finish spirit that is so necessary for the success of a team. Altho there were not many individual stars in the team, they were usually there with the teamwork. This unity centered around the captain, Donavin Baumgartner. Here was a man that could instil into his men a spirit that would overcome all ob- stacles. Bummer was always hard at work but did it with ease and gracefulness that made him very popular with the crowd. His fast floor work caused much worry on the part of his guard because of his ability to cover a great deal of territory. The other forward was Benny Lehman, that point getter from the city of Berne. It was Lehman's certainty as a shot that enabled the team to win as many games as they did. The tall man at center is usually known as Hank and his size made him es- pecially fitted for the position. He certainly knows how to get that ball and he usually gets it. Another thing that is a credit to the man, is his ability to follow the play and and often he pushed the ball thru the ring for a counter. How does he do it is the query often heard when Delbert Welty would rush into the play and come out with the ball. That is a habit with him that has often meant much for the team and his plucky work was an irritation to any forward that would try to rush the ball past the Californian. His ability and his persistance often kept his opponent from making many points. We certainly respect the man who holds down a position as does Welty, the captain of next year's squad. Environment seems to have considerable infiuence in the making of a player or why is it that Studcr was able to grasp it so readily. The only thing we can decide is that he had considerable support from the side lines. Here was a man that seemed to have the habit of getting whenever the lall was and it was his close guarding that often kept our oponents from getting a high score. Alderfer and Wulliman should also be commended for their hard work at all times. All of the Reserves worked hard for the success of the team and should have a place in the annals of the school. It is hoped that all of this year's team will again be with us during the coming season and that several of the others will also return to BluH'ton by next fall. -138- llllllllllllllllllllllllllNHHtlHllllgllllllllllllllillllllllll IHHVHHHHlllllllllllllfilfllllllllHHHlllllllllllllllllllllll MARIE RINGELMAN To Marie Ringelman, many thanks are due for her splendid management of the girls' basket ball team. During the first part of the season, prospects were rather unfavorable for playing varsity games, since all colleges do not permit their girls to play off of the home Hoor. But thru Marie's perseverence, several fine gamesiwere arranged for the latter part of the season. A few practise games were played with Bluffton High School, all of which were won by the college. A very interesting series of inter-class games was also held, which was easily captured by the Sophomores. On January ll, both Varsity teams, accompanied by Miss Mueller and Mr. Pan- nabecker, journeyed to Wilmington College, to contest with the Quaker teams. The Bluffton girls played a scrappy game but were at a disadvantage, since they had traveled all day. The final score was 20-10 in favor of our Friends From Wilmington the teams ventured forth to attack Antioch. Thru some mis- understandings, this game was not attended with the same good feeling as the previous one, but our girls took defeat gamely. Even the 28-12 score could not dampen their spirits, for they cheered lustily thru the boys' game. At both Wilmington and Antioch the girls were entertained Very pleasantly, but for some unknown reason the details of the Antioch game were not made public. The following week the girls paid a very pleasant visit to our neighbors at De- fiance where one of the best games of the season was played. Miss Humrichshauser, athletic director at the Toledo Y. W. C. A. refereed the gamle in a splendid manner. Bluffton kept the lead from the very start until the whistle blew, with a final score of 23-19. . The first game on the home floor was with Antioch, February 8. The game had plenty of snap, but our girls frnally submitted to their second defeat at the hands of the girls of the big A , Nevertheless they proved themselves generous hostesses. The second home game and concluding one of the season, was played with Defiance March 1, and was attended by the guests of the Y. W. C. A. cabinet council. It was a splendid game, full of pep from start to finish. Our girls soon proved their superior guarding and good basket shooting. Such a fine game furnished a pleasant ending for the season.

The competition was close, keeping the excitement up to the highest pitch throughout the entire period of play. The majority of games were close, fast contests, and an excellent brand of basket ball was displayed, the La Fayette team especially showing the result of good coaching and training. Friday morning the captains and coaches met for the customary drawing of the schedule, and the byes were drawn by Ada, Pandora, Findlay and De Graff, while the others were required to play in the first round. The play proceeded as it was scheduled, and Friday afternoon found La Fayette, Bluffton, Lima and Findlay remaining for the semi-final round. Both games were hard fought, but La Fayette's teamwork was too much for the tired Bluffton squad and Findlay's fast aggregation succumbed to Lima after a hard battle. The fmal game was played Saturday night before a crowd which packed the Gym- nasium to the roof inspite of the inclement weather. La Fayette's perfect passing and shooting got the nerve of the Lima team and the former won by a 32-18 score in as pretty an exhibition of basket ball as anyone could wish to see. The people of the town cooperated with the college in a splendid manner in helping to care for the players and Mrs. Yoder deserves much credit for caring for the com- misary department as she did. V The finale of the tournament, following the listless Bluffton-Northern game, was the presentation of the cups by Dr. Smith, chairman of the Athletic Board, and the announcement of the committee's selections for the all star first and second teams. The games were handled in a very satisfactory manner by O. D. Wearley and Larry Bevan of the Toledo Scott and Waite High Schools respectively.

At a special meeting of the Athletic Association last year, it was decided to raise money for a track. This was no sooner said than done. The faculty promised to raise S500 if the student body would go and do likewise . The students immediately went to work and soon had the most of their amount raised by subscription. The track was to be a part of the new Athletic Field which is to be situated on the North side of the Science Hall. But due to war conditions it was decided to postpone the work on the track. As the clouds of war, however, are rapidly disappearing, it is hoped that the College will soon decide to build the track. Bluffton College entered into the new sport by sending a representative to the field meet held at the University of Pittsburgh last year. Harold Guth, the young giant from Illinois, was the man sent to represent the Purple and White squad. Fuzz entered the 440 and the 880 yard runs winning fourth place in the 440 and third in the 880. Guth competed against some of the men of the large Eastern schools and so Bluffton can indeed be proud of the records he made. At the beginning of this year Fuzz was elected manager of the track team and immediately started to work. It was rather difficult to arrange any meets as so many of the neighboring schools did not have any teams. Then when things were beginning to brighten, Guth had the misfortune to break a knee cap which kept him off the track for the entire season. Delbert Welty, the breezy Californian, was then elected as manager and began work by purchasing some new track equipment. Vaulting standards were made and a pit was dug. A track was also measured off around the baseball diamond. It was very difficult to find a place that was even enough for a straight-a-way, but the active manager soon found a satisfactory place and the path was measured. By this time we had sufficient equipment on hand to start things and the next thing was to find men for the entries. The men who seemed to be the best were Mg1'. Welty, I. Baumga1'tner, Lehman and Wulliman. Several of the other men showed up quite well but lacked experience. As soon as the Northwestern Athletic Association was formed, the track men hoped that the officials of the Association would find it possible to include track in the list of sports. Altho it is quite probable that no inter-scholastic meets will be held this year, the men are hoping that several inter-class series can be arranged. It is quite certain that the work done this year will awaken sufficient interest to include track as one of the sports of the institution in years to come. -143- 7 fV?

The English holiday always comes on the first of May, when people from all ranks in society rise at dawn and go a-maying, for the purpose of welcoming the advent of Spring. The activities of the day have been handed down from early Roman days. The May pole was at one time general thruout England, and the marching was a public affair sanctioned by the priests. Usually a company of people set out early in the morning for a 1'ather distant wood, from which they re- turned triumphantly bearing a pole thickly hung with flowers and branch- es of trees that were in bloom. The kings and queens of England have al- ways taken an active interest in the holiday, altho today the festival is somewhat of a tradition and the holiday is chiefly kept by the chimney sweeps and the peasant peoples. However it is a beautiful custom and has come to us principally as a day of college celebration, frequently occupying a prominent place on the program for commencement week. Our college May Day of 1918 was a great success. Its queen was Olga Kennel who made a charming one, dignified and proud but with an inde- scribable courtesy and gentlewomanliness that is one of the chief preroga- tives of a royal personage. The courtly procession was long and was her- alded some moments by a trumpter before the cortege swept into view. Presently came the queen surrounded by her attendants and assisted by her maid of honor together with the little fairies who scattered flowers be- fore the queen and who bore her train. Two by two followed the may-pole dancers in their costumes of g1'een and white and thus the procession wound down the hill from the college hall to the portion of the campus set aside for the festivities. The queen was met and crowned at once and was then conducted to her throne from which she graciously smiled upon the efforts of those who sought to amuse her. We cannot take up all of the performances, but we do wish to recall for you Ruth Krehbiel's ridiculous jazz band, the take off on the Liberty Loan meeting, the imitation of a certain professor's class and the Maypole winding which was unusually attractive and well done, showing earnest effort not only on the part of the girls but also upon the part of Miss Mueller who trained them. The girls moved in perfect rhythm with the music and the formations and intricate figures reminded one of the accounts of the quadrills of a hundred years ago. In the evening a little sketch was given by Wilbur Howe, entitled A Soldier's Dream and based on Riley's poem of An Old Sweetheart of Mine . The acting of the little play was admirable. Added to this there was a second concert by the jazz band and several stunts. At a late hour the festivities closed, every one pronouncing the day an extreme success. -153- lllllllllflillllllllllllllHillIWW!!lllllllllllllllllllllll llIlllIllllllllllllllllllllglml ' SPECIAL COLLEGE EVENTS OF 1918 1919 Y.

Keystone Bld'g., 12-1 W. High St., Lima, Ohio. Gentlemen: The Ista Staff of 1919 wishes to express its entire satisfaction with the work done for it by the Lima Photo-Engravers on the Annual. Our printers have spoken very high'y of the cuts, saying that they were excellently made and that it was a pleasure to work with them. Your cuts came to us promptly and we received immediate attention when we requested four separate rush orders. The Ista Staff gladly offers to recommend you to any school desiring to put out an Annual, for your promptness. courtesy and excellency of work. Respectfully yours, THE 1919 ISTA STAFF OF IJLUFFTON COLLEGE The Ista Staff also wishes to acknowledge its indebtedness and at the same time to thank the Bluffton News for the way in which they worked upon the Annual, making possible its publication. The staff would have found itself in a hopeless predicament had it not been for their generous suggestions and assistance, and to them, as is so often the case, the Ista owes its real success. nomsmauMQommmMunauuslao uuuuluuulluluuolln llllul lull IIIIIIIUJ -176- up , 3 . .,l 1.4 i..
