A mirror of student life in the college days of '22, reflect- ing their joys and sorrows, their ro- mance and realism. And in the days to come may this volume be a token of remembrance which will serve to recall the glees and friendships, the rivalries, defeats and triumphs along the banks of Little Riley. To the memory of Peter S. Thut, a de- voted friend and generous benefactor of our College, this volume is affec- tionately dedicated. 5 4- -1- 4 + -:- -2- -w + -c- Cilhe Elma Staff Editor-in-Chief .... Associate Editor . . .

Mas. MARY v. ROPP JOHN ROPP BLUFFTON BENEFACTORS They only do not live in vain, who use their wealth, thought and word for others. What they do endures for ever. Some ol' the benefactors of Bludton College have passed to their reward. Others yet see their investmnt in the College grow. The three families represented on this and the Dedication pages have in all contributed two hundred and tive thousand dollars to Blullton College. Without these gifts the work of the College would have been impossible. The first large contribution was made to President N. C. Hirschy by Mr. and Mrs. John Herschler ot' Ashland, Ohio. Their grift was three hundred and ninety-five acres of land, later deeded to Blullton Colle-fre. Mr. Herschler was a man ot' strong: character and high ideals. Mr. and Mrs. Peter S. Thut have long: been friends of Blullton College. They deeded their farm ot' one hundred and twelve acres in 1913 and later made a bequest of over eleven thousand dollars to us. Both passed to their reward within the last year. Mr. Thut will be missed on the Campus and in the Halls, for he loved young: people. nature and music. He knew our ideals. The largest individual yriver to Bluffton College is Mrs. Mary V. Ropp, and the gifts of Mr. and Mrs. Roma and Mrs. Mary Rupp, mother of Mrs. Rapp, have far exceeded one hundred thousand dollars. Mrs. Mary Rupp is ninety-two years of age. The Ropps have hundreds of well-wishers both in College and out of it. Every college man and woman holds dear the Bluffton benefactors and their gifts. -H I JOHN HERSCHLER MRS. MARY RUPP Seventeen 5. + + -:- -:- + + -W -Q' THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES can Ex-Officio Samuel K.

If they were lonesome and l shy of each other at first, they did not remain so for long, for the get-acquainted party I at the Gymnasium served its purpose very Well indeed. Having chosen Dr. Good as , Faculty Advisor and Obern Ramseyer as their first President, the Class of '22 started L51 on its four year journey. ' 3 Since many of the upper classmen were that year serving their colors, Bluffton Col- lege had all the more need of this vigorous, energetic group of Freshmen. At once 'they filled in the gaps made in the Literary Societies, Athletic teams and other College Or- , X ganizations and gave them their loyal support. LC' Through the Wise counsel of Dr. Good, and under the tutelage of the Sophmore ' 1 lords, by the next autumn their verdure had disappeared and they were ready to take 2 I up their Work as Sophomores. It was this year that they were unfortunate in losing ' ' their class Professor, but they had the good luck to secure Dad Lehman to take his place. Plenty of class spirit and loyalty was promoted by the parties at Mabells and LH Otho's homes, and by an outdoor breakfast one spring morning. ,Q Perhaps it was because as Freshmen and Sophomores they had to shoulder respon- E 3 sibilities usually allotted to upper classmen, that they succeeded so well in putting across l Q the big tasks of the Junior year-the presenting of a class play, and the publishing of F' I the Ista. All were interested in doing their best, and so fPomander Walk and the gazebo, especially, became very popular. . When the Class of '22 returned the next fall, it Was with just a bit of heartache ,N V in their greetings, for the four happy years spent with their foster mother were drawing i to a close. However, all cares were forgotten one perfect day of October, when the t 5 class sneaked to that Land of milk and honey --Berne, Indiana. That day will be remembered as long as there are members of the Class of '22, I 4 A great change has been Wrought in the lives of these young men and women since they came to their Alma Mater four years ago. They came as lonesome strangers, they , leave as joyful friends. They came eager and full of talent and latent possibilities for 1 the development of character, they leave compensated for their efforts, at least, if not ' satisfied with their talents Well on the way to development. Their visions have been 3 widened and their appreciation for the greater things in life increased. They have LQ. caught the Spirit of Bluffton College and are ready to carry the message, The Truth ' , Makes Free , wherever they go. . 5, l R, ,l il CLASS OFFICERS P4 President ........... ................ 1 ....................... .I ohn Geiger Vice President .............. ......

His cheery and contagious How Di Do brightens up the face of many a would be worried Bluff- tonite. Even the rugged road toward an M. D.. cannot ruffle I-Iarry's good humor. All this and many other little traits stamp him as a winner of the blue in the race for success. CLASS OFFICERS President ............. Vice President ..........

A broad, wholesome smile, which is apparently a family characteristic, always greets one when met by this young lady. She has the :ood nack oi' making things lively and happy.

You might know Tubhy as a student. a Rupp Hall fre- quenter, a druwzist, a Noble tsince the Junior playj or as an athlete. As the latter he stands out in the minds ol' most Bluffton college students. Just to tell you that he falls hard and plays hard migzht leave you guessing hut to know that he has succe::-:fully cap- tained this years' foot ball and basketball teams really tells you who he is. ALMA IUTZI Bluffton, 0. Alma is a tall. humorous and talkative Junior. She is a capable leader of women and menishe usually leads them wherever she chooses. Her in- terests are centered in the Home Economics Department but she is equally etficient in other departments of the col- lexzc. PAULINE SCI-IANTZ Tiskilwa, Ill. Polly who hails from Tis- kilwa, decided last t':1Il to cast her lot with the class of '23. and they immediately made her Calendar Editor of the Ista. Polly is a yrirl capable in many lines, especially iu havim: a good time, yet she is studious withal. If asked suddenly where her home interests were. she might answer Tiskilwakaru- SH.. SIDNEY STETTLER Bluffton, 0. This curly haired Junior is conspicuous because of his A's in examinations and his rather rc-served behavior in general. Give every man thy ear but few thy voice, and What is worth doing at all is worth do- well. seem to be his mottos. The class is expecting: ,frreat things from this capable young man. AUSTIN LEHMANN Bcrnc, Ind. Our talented corner soloist and active classmate hails from that small Hoosier village which has produced so many Bluffton students. He is very studious, yet a believer in a well balan- ced social-intellectual course. Besides orchestra, Y. M. C. A. and other activities. he is inter- ested in 1BJaCssJ singer. IDA KENNEL West Middletown, 0. No, she isn't on the Ista Staff, but she helped by means of Dr. Hall's wireless telegra- phy, no doubt. Coming to us at the beginning of her Sopho- more year, she has won her way into our hearts. Her fa- vorite sport is horseback riding.

Whether he is to help the eats committee gather pies for May Day, to catch a high fly in the outfield, or to man- age the stage for a play, he is always there. He is a Varsity B man, having won his letter in baseball several years ago. NELLE LUGIBILL Bluffton, 0. If you haven't heard Nelle sing, or seen her send that bas- ketball flying down the floor, or tasted the tempting things that come forth from the kitchen when she is in charge, or join- ed her in a hearty laugh over some real bit of fun, why! you've just missed half of your college life-that's all! EDNA IUTZI Bluffton, 0. Edna came to us from In- diana anzl liked us so well that she finally brought the rest of the family along. But it's not a one-sided affair, by any means, for we are all very fond of her. And that's not strange for--did you ever see her with- out a smile? AMOS BADERTSCHER Dalton, 0. Amie above all other men in college, might be term- ed a man, from the standpoint that he has the successful abil- ity to grow those Ufeathery ra- ven locks on his physiognomy. He never advertises his ability to do things nor what he does, but nevertheless, he has been quite successful in making friends, absorbing studies, pass- ing over the cinders, and last but not least in the diligent art or fussing. LESTER KRAFT Antwerp, 0. If you want a man ready to help you out in any difl'i- culty, who will sacrifice time and pleasure for the :food of the class or others, that's Les . Here is the other side: You ask him his favorite color? As one-We all reply, The very brightest crimson. That's found in any dye. NELLE SHULER McComb, 0. Nelle is one of the most friendly of the friendly co-eds. She is a possessor of much mu- sical ability which she puts to practical use in Chautauqua work during the summer vaca- tions. She is somewhat impul- sive in speech and action but her genial spirit makes up for this so that we like her just as she is.

Dyck is a man of that dependable type upon whom one can rely that his tasks will be Well dime and done cons-:icntiously This makes him a valuable as- sistant to the Editor and to the class. Every Junior is glad that he came back to Bluffton. DOROTHY LANDIS Allentown, Pa. Dot is the kind of a girl one just naturally likes to nickname. If trouble ever comes to this Penn-state co-ed she never makes it known. She is gifted not only with splendid ability as a pianist, but also with a lovely contralto voice. She firmly believes in being loyal to underclassmen. - CARRIE SUTTER. Lima, 0. To her closest friends Car- rie is known to possess plenty of prirlish modesty coupled with an abundance of wit. Her in- terests vary from athletics, as she has won her letter in bas- ketball, to music, when she sings in the Glee Club or plays in the Orchestra, to agricul- ture, which, however, is only a personal interest. THOMAS FENTON Bluffton, O. Tommy of the cheering: grin! The astonishing! is not his, nor the aspirw-'lull to eih- eral heights. but he has the steadiness which is characteris- tic of the youth of all Qreat men. His interests lie in sta- ble thingrs such as hardware. But Women-the fickle crea- tures! He seldom desiyrns to notice. JESSE DILLER Columbus Grove, 0. Jesse is an Ohio product. He is noted for being a hard worker who docs his best at whatever task he is assigned. His willingness to cooperate in any project from athletics to manual labor is his outstanding feature. His dry humor com- hincd with this willingness and cheerfulness gives him a pleas- ing personality. EDNA HANLEY Middletown, 0. The English accented ex- pression, D0n't mumble your words , is perfectly natural to this young lady. She has a striking characteristic of beings: late to her' meals but this is perhaps due to her uillincness to assume responsibilities. She was an efficient associate edi- tor of the Ista which leads us to predict an excellent future for her as a secretary. Q.. 'Z' .f'1'l,fIl'LIlfl.L J, ---- .STTTMN ---- - ll -. K . 'i,'TiTT .'.

Clarence is always immac- ulously dressed. His goal in school work is that of prepar- ing himself for one of the learned professions, perhaps that of medicine. His leisure time is spent in his former home. However, it is not the home that is the attraction but its occupant, Edna. A trom- bonist in the orchestra is he and in the past, librarian. too, MILDRED RUSSELL Bluffton, 0. Mildred is a Buckeye hail- insr from the xrood old town of Bluffton. The campus is incom- plete without her, Althoutth she may sound rather Jxruff to you at times, still, under the SUI'- face, she is a good hearted friend. Her interests are ra- ther divided but most of her time is spent in the Art and Home Economics Qlepartments. ESTELLA GEIGER Bluffton, 0. Here is a grirl who is alu- psrently generally in a hurry. yqt she has time for both work and play. She is studious and works hard while she works. She is l'un lovingr, and enjoys a joke on herself as mu:-h as on the other person. Her in- terest in things literary ac- counts for her English major. LEONARD WELTY ifccclluy, Cai. California made an impor- tant contribution to Hl+1il'l in Collcgre in the person of Leon- ard VVelty. Penny is at val- uable man in athletics as he is upon the football, hasketlwll and track squads. His unl':iil- ing: humor under any circum- stance distinguishes him from ordinary mortals. As Michele in The Man From Home Penny showed that liven his ability included even di'atr1:nit's. REUEL NISWANDER Bluffton, 0. Reuel is a native sou of Bluffton and has varied inter- ests which range all the way from Economics and Socioloay down to Athletics. In the lat- ter. especially, he is in his glory: as he is a mighty yood quarterback in football and a wicked wielder ol' the willow in baseball. He is also a riiemlmr of the basketball squad. SYLVIA THUT Yilutfton, 0. Her sparkling brown eyes would say that she was mis- chievous, but one hesitates in making: such an acculntion. We knew that she is good na- tured, and also studiolls: and will wager that she knows all about the making of flour, even though her major is not Home Economics but English. 1-ff e w ,' .fs-fs----ff,--We-. .fm sa-11.-ew-4-n-.-f:n,: -' -.um.w...--X-.1 X--1-v -F.

Honesty, integrity, stabili- ty: and capability are the at- tributes which placed this young man on a good basis for a college education. Always there is the answer that might he given by every one when Os- win is needed. And it makes no difference, with one possible exception, whether it comes from his class, college, work, Ropp Hall or even the State ot Pennsylvania. GRACE AMSTUTZ Pandora, 0. Shy: but how we like her, for she proves a loyal friend to all who wish her friendship. Altho she may seem :,t.iet. you suggest a wild frolic an-l ycu'll find her full of Fun. Indeed, we have in Grace a lovable, trustworthy classmate, and we are justly proud to claim her. RUTH LANTZ Carlock, lll. A veritable little bunch ol' sunshine coupled with a lot of common sense, that is Ruth. Her activity in Literary Socie- ty, Musical Organizations and Y. W. Cabinet shows her to be an all-around girl. Altho she unsellishly sacrificed the tirst semester because of her mother's health, she is again back in school and expects to graduate with the class of '23, EDWARD LIECHTY Berne, Ind. A mighty man from Indi- ana is embodied in the person of Edward E. Liecnty. Who knows the limit to 'J-'liirli he may soar in the future. The College orchestra, the Sand. the Choral society and the Adelphi- ans all absorb his interests. Ed delights to saunter along gathering things for his Biolo- gical display. Biology is his major and M. D. his probable future degree. LUTHER SOMMERS Pandora, 0. In spite ot' small stature and light complexion, when we sec this Junior. we think of a veritable whirlwind. Lively, vivacious, liable to be in class or not, yet possessing high n- tellectual powers, characterizes Sommers. A happy go lucky friend with a cheery hello for all whom he may meet.

CLORINDA STEINER Bluffton, 0. Shy and active, studious and full of fun, musical but not a songster, quiet but lova- ble: they sound contradictory, but they are not, for this Jun- ior, who came to us last fall after a summer of hard work. has all of these qualities, and more, too. Strive on, fair one. IRWIN BAUER Barto, Pa. Among classmates Bauer is spoken of as being a mathema- tical genius, and perhaps, there is much truth in it, as he is an honor student. He is inter- ested chiefly in his studies and the Glee Club. Since last sum- mer he has been named Cy in honor of cyanide. JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Mary Evans Only two years ago last fall the largest and peppiest crowd of green Freshies ever seen on the campus of Bluffton college made their appearance. They gave a very dis- tinct green tinge to the landscape, due no doubt, to the great number of them, there being eighty-eight. Of course the Sophs desired to show this small army of young and unsophisticated beings just how much they had learned during their one year's college experience and so they first tried ducking them but found that a rather difficult task. They then challenged them to a tug-'o-war only to be forced to take an involuntary march through the Riley. When the class organized, Bob was chosen class president and Doc Smith class professor. Doctor Smith's interest in all class activities has proved him a good class Dad . From the very beginning, this class has been interested in all activities, literary societies, athletics, debating, Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A. and especially parties and picnics. With some sadness they parted in the spring of 1920 because all knew that many of the class would not be back. Some were going to other schools, and some, to teach. When they again met at Bluffton in September 1920, only forty-three returned. Floyd Byers was chosen class president, and Verna Krabill, secretary-treasurer. Their first responsibility was to teach the large Freshman class how they should act and just where their place was in B. C. They accomplished this quickly and soon the two classes were on perfectly good terms. During the sophomore year they won the inter-class championship in baseball, had three of their members as cheer leaders, and were well represented on both the men's and women's basketball teams as well as both Glee Clubs. In the spring of that year the Ista Stai was chosen. Last fall when they came back they realized the heavy duties to be performed dur- ing the year. The Junior play 4'The Man from Homei' was given. Its success proved that the class of '23 contains some real acting as well as business ability. They feel the heavy weight of upper class responsibility and think with some sadness and some joy of the time, not far in the future, when they will be Seniors.

But they thought themselves such Wonders Although they were so shy They seemed to think the College Bowed as they passed it by.

Those lights seem to call to me. Why! the lights form letters and the letters spell Bluffton University . The name has changed and the buildings, too, since-since 1921 and 22 when I was a--yes, just a Freshman. My memory fails me, for I can see nothing familiar, but can it be true that I hear, Oh-yea-Bluffton just as I did one night when a class- mate hid her diary for safety in between the stones in the Ugymt' foundation? Can it still be there? Will it help me recall those days? And are those stones still there? Sure enough, fate has saved just that spot for me and the little book is there too, faded, but now I shall read it under the protection of Bluffton and in its light undisturbed by Sophomores. I shall read it aloud for the world to hear. It begins on September 13, 1921. En- tered at Bluffton College eighty-eightg-isfthe next Word green ? It must be for it sounds familiar. Well, eighty-eight green Freshmen . Then there is something about fussing that I cannot quite understand, but it is true, we all had our little troubles. Now the next word looks like duck- Oh! I remember those duckings and then it mentions something about 2:00 o'clock A. M. at the dorm and about 8:00 o'clock at a pond. Now this is plainer, Leslie Sprunger was elected president of the class with Ray- mond Hilty as vice-president and with Ruth Thompson as secretary. The Freshmen had a gym party, a good time, and those eats were enough to give the whole college a feed. Now here is something else about being sorry to give up Les Sprunger as class president, for he was a fine one, and quite peppy besides, but the class soon found Lit- willer a good president. Then, best of all, we have Professor Berky as class profes- sor. 3 1 Oh, yes! I see, this is about a game, Reusser makes a good cheer leader and Freshmen men are playing on the Varsity. Now, just as luck would have it, I find right here a remnant of a song and it is as clear as can be, I've never forgotten it, it is the Alma Mater-and listen! that dear old pipe organ is just piping the part noble thoughts and high ideals, and it is a real dream, for now I hear Bluffton College, we love thee and I repeat it for the Fresh- man class, Bluffton College We love thee.

Kettunen The Academy is no longer considered one of the outstanding departments of Bluffton college, that it was in years gone byg but as long as there is a demand for this preparatory work, it will, no doubt, be continued. This particular phase off educational opportunity is maintained as a benefit for those who have not completed their high school course, or have been deprived of' high school privileges altogetherg and for those who desire to take their academic work in a college. In many phases the Prep student at Bluffton College has a big advantage over the high school student, in so far, that he is largely instructed by college professors, and, if desirous can arrange his courses so as to complete his preparatory Work for col- lege in less time, than the high school student. The fact that the individuals enjoy all college activities the same as the regular college students, is another outstanding feat- ure of the Academy. This year's Prep class, although not very large, consists of' representatives from six different states of the union and one from Canada. They have Well showed their ambition to Strive and Thrive , by being the first group of Academy students to have a fully organized class. The Academy students Want to work with the regular college students to maintain the conditions for the ideal life and good work-and for a bigger and better Bluffton College.

W- 1,-'1 CONSERVATORY Bluffton College boasts of one of the best Conservatories in the state, for the size of the institution. It is a distinct department of the College, and is thus subject to the general regulations oi' the school, but it is under the immediate management of the Dean and the Conservatory faculty. It aims not only to teach the art of music in the noblest senseg to foster in the students of the College and Seminary a desire to know something of the history, aes- thetics, and theory of musical art, but also to encourage the development and refine- ment of the characters, minds, and tastes of its students, under the influence of a Chris- tian college. The Conservatory oHers a definite plan of study, not only for those wishing to de- vote themselves to music as players and singers or teachers, but also for amateurs whose chief aim is to acquire a valuable knowledge of music. Courses are also offered to College students who desire a general knowledge and appreciation of music. Both practical and theoretical courses are included in the outline of study, and both demand a certain degree of advancement in general education. Three courses are offered: the Literary-Music course, the course in Public School Music, and the course in Practical Music. The Literary-Music course was designed in accord with the increasing demand for a collegiate training with music as a major, and it leads to graduation with the degree of Bachelor of Arts. The Public School Music course is designed for those desiring to teach in the public schools, and leads to the degree of Graduate in Public School Music. By Practical music is meant the technical study of pianoforte, organ, violin, cello or wind instrument playing, and singing, in private lessons. It also in- cludes certain theoretical courses, and is designed to equip students for professional work. This course leads to the degree of Graduate in Music. The Conservatory aims to correlate its courses with the general college plan, and thus to develop young men and women into musicians and budding artists with the foundation of success in their chosen profession laid through the broadening influence of their major and their other collegiate studies. It hopes to inspire the graduates in music with the vision of Handel, of whom it is said that he answered a well-meant compliment to the amusement and entertainment which his Messiah had given to a certain town, in these words- I should be sorry if I only entertained them, I wish to make them better. mI.....lLi,-QQQQlli'Q,.gggg5.1.ggL.5.Eg.-ggi,1,iii.'.Q.T:Lc.1..c .t1..1.4u.,..,c. .f,E..cW:..iQ.marc. , - 1 Zlgmf fff 15' , ,WI Fifty-eight ,l 1 5'l l , l l.. 3211? :ls .,. lL 2 li ll N5 lil 1 'ld f l I l il ll Sl l tl , . lr .. ll l l i l. ls 'L ff V. 15 Fl E w 1 e ps CM 1 I il rl 1 fl fl 4 5 will :In T95 1 H l 3 T Y X I M6 Iflneckiger Miller Buhler Lehman Mann lutzi einer Amstulz CHORAI. SOCIETY For many years the Choral Society has held a prominent place in 'the Bluffton calendar, this marking the twenty-second year oi' its existence. It was founded with a View of fostering and encouraging the best in music in the community and this idea has never been lost sight of. In December the chorus of over a hundred voices brought the Christmas message to the the community through the tenth annual rendition ol' Handel's beautiful 'iMes- siah . The concert was given in the college gymnasium, which was filled to capacity. The selection of soloists was made entirely from the present and former membership of the society, and was as follows: soprano, Naomi Steiner of Blufftong alto, Opal Berry Stauifer of Columbusg tenor, Samuel Flueckiger of Berne, Indianag baritone, Martin Baumgartner of Wayland, Iowa. The second concert oi' the year was given during the Easter season, when the chorus gave a splendid performance of Rossini's f'Stabat Mater . The soloists for this beautiful Easter oratorio were Pauline Wemmer Gooding of Lima, sopranog Doris Statten Kaser of Cleveland, contraltog Allen Grubb of Lima, tenorg and Gilbert Wilson of Chicago, baritone. Much of the success of both concerts is due to the splendid accompaniment of the college orchestra under the direction of Sidney Hauenstein and to the ability and untir- ing efforts of the chorus conductor, Dean Lehman.

Reflecting today, for El , example, in your garret, you find yourself in a melancholy mood following a perusal ' Q of the advertising columns of the newspapers. You have looked through the concert 'N announcements for the day only to discover that you must hear-if you hear anything V'-l at all-either Beethoven's Seventh Symphony or Mozart's Symphony in G minor or the Q Overture to Euryantheg either Chabrierls Bouree Fantasque Afwhich you have never l I heardj or Sibelius' Finlandiag and, at the opera youare offered Aida! Now 'this is all very 5 l discouraging to a person of temperainental disposition who would like to order his music hi., as lie orders his library or his dinner at Ropp Hall. One is never obliged to eat at some- .. one else's behest, one reads according to one's fancy ffrequentlyl but when one wants ll I to listen to music then- You want what you want when you :vant it !-and knowing V some of those wants of music lovers, the Bluffton College Girls' Glee Club successfully gave a well balanced program. They fthe warblersj did not accredit all this reputation T14 to their natural talents. However, be it said with all due regard for them, that their , directress molded the clay. It really was easy for the girls to do their best when they knew that they had a l 1. Mann watching them. Herein lies the secret of success for the Girls, Glee Club-ben i cause ever since Christmas, Pearl has been a Mann. You are, no doubt, interested in knowing what this musical organization has done to bring happiness to others. It was all very thrilling to even anticipate, but it's true, nevertheless, that they made an eleven days' tour of the Buckeye state. What fame they spread for Bluffton remains to be seen. But since you know their purpose, and believe l that their happiness came from doing their level best every day and everywhere, their Alma Mater will still claim the satisfaction which comes from stamping superiority, and l Il putting the royal trade-mark upon everything which goes through its doors. ll .

Twenty-five men will make the trip, including four faculty mem- bers. More than eighty concerts will be given in fifteen different states. Nearly one X 1 week will be spent in California. A special pullman car Will be chartered for the trip west of Chicago. The organization has been hard at work all year under the efficient direction of 5 i Professor Lehman, Dean of the Conservatory. A large number of both secular and 3 sacred concerts have been given by the club, all of which point to a best ever orgrni- X zation which is saying a great deal in the light of the splendid work of former clubs. X , X Four faculty members will make the trip. Prof. G. A. Lehman is director of the -'H songsters. Prof. Sidney Hauenstein will be the violin soloist, Prof. B. D. Smucker will ' be the Club readerg while Prof. Elmer Ende will be the Club accompanist. Each of these lX men are masters in their particular Held and the Club is indeed fortunate to have their 1 services. L' After giving their first concert of the trip at Bluffton' on Thursday evening, June 1, ,T during commencement Week, the songsters will head west. Their fourth concert will gl. find them in Chicago where they will secure a special pullman car. The Warblers will 3 3 then sing their Way to the Pacific coast in the state of Washington. They will then 3 turn south thru Oregon and California, and cross over into Mexico at El Paso. Leaving Q the state of the Golden Gates, Dad's,' proteges will turn their faces toward home and tour Arizona, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Illinois, Indiana and back to 5-'lvl Ohio, appearing in Pandora, Wednesday, August 2. They will then head east thru Ohio l l reaching the Atlantic coast in Philadelphia. On the return trip several concerts will be given in Canada and Michigan. The final concert will be given in Bluffton, Sunday, August 20. l The program will be divided into two parts, one to consist of readings, choruses, i solos and instrumental numbers including a brass quartet. The second part will be a In familiar-bit-of-college-life stunt, and some new arrangements of old numbers. This will include the Alma Mater , Hail Ye and the Pledge Song which was dedicated to the Club by its author Miss Hilda Leete '20. ' The sacred program will contain some of the standard classics and modern music, 3 , including arrangements of a few of the finest familiar hymns. X The object of this Spartan undertaking which will carry the Bluffton Spirit across xl the United States, touching Mexico and part of Canada, is two fold. It will serve as a 'X national advertising campaign for Bluffton College and city. Secondly, because of the X cooperation of the Mennonites in all parts of the country in sponsoring this tour, there ' will be a better foundation for working together for the betterment and enlargement of Q: the Mennonite church itself. Much of the credit for this great undertaking must be given to Professor Lehman, under whose untiring direction the Club has attained to its present stage of perfection gf and the many details of the tour carefully worked out. This is Dads fourth year as coach of the Glee Club. Kennion K. Kaufman '22 will act as manager and publicity agent and will be ass sisted by Raymond R. Shryer '20. Both men will accompany the Warblers on the entire 'E Z tour.

This organization is under the direction of Dean Lehman, and is made up almost entirely of members of the two Glee Clubs of the College. It appears regularly at the Vesper services in the College Chapel, on al- ternating Sunday afternoons. The Choir prepares and sings the hetter selections by modern writers as well as those by composers of the earlier schools. Indeed, much ol' the solemnity and impressiveness of this Sunday afternoon service is due to the existence of this organization. In this connection, much might also be said of the services of the organist, whose art gives the desired finish not only to the choir selections, but to the entire Vesper service well.

Perhaps one of the organizations of which Blufton College may most worthily boast, is the orchestra. It contains thirty pieces and has made for itself a good repu- tation. Few colleges, even much larger than Bluffton, have any orchestra at all. Hence Bluffton may justly be proud of this activity. The Orchestra is under the leadership of Professor Sidney Hauenstein, of the con- servatory, who is very capable as teacher of wind and string instruments and, as con- ductor of band and orchestra. He has developed the Bluiton orchestra to a very high standard. The orchestra made a five day tour. It left Bluffton on the twentieth of March, and appeared in concerts at Ottawa, Leipsic, McComb, North Baltimore, Upper San- dusky, Mt. Cory and Bluffton. The hospitality of the hosts wherever the orchestra went was much appreciated. The first disappointment came when the members of the orchestra learned that Mr. Hauenstein would be unable to accompany them, due to illness. However they were fortunate in having as viola player Mr. Samuel Flueckiger, who conducted the orchestra throughout the tour with much success. The second disappointment came when they learned that their president, Austin Lehmann, must return to Bluifton on account of sickness. They were again fortunate in being able to fill the vacancy with Miss Nelle Shuler as cornetist. After a very happy and successful tour together, they were all glad to reach Bluffton again. They hope the trips may be more extensive in the future, and the work of the orchestra may continue to be one of the leading activities at Bluffton College.

Before this time there were in existence a number of Mennonite schools which gave the teaching of the Bible a leading place in their curriculum. There was, however, a continually increasing need felt for presenting to Mennonite youngnpeople the opportu- nity of taking more highly specialized Bible training and more thorough courses of in- struction to qualify them for successful Christian work. Quite a number of young peo- ple of the denomination, having decided to become pastors or missionaries decided upon a school not of the denomination to prepare themselves for the work. This condition was realized by leaders of the church and so it happened that when an organization leading to the establishment of Bluffton College was affected, provision was made for including Mennonite Seminary as a part of the organization. These early years of eifort have been called years of encouragment and discouragment both. Much good was accomplished and a number of present pastors and missionaries profited by years of study in the institution. Although the Seminary as a part of Bluifton College was doing splendid work, the need for a more representative and a stronger graduate Seminary, with more special provision for a practical Bible and Missionary training, became evident. On January 15, 1921, the Seminary faculty at a regular meeting care- fully considered the matter, discussed every phase of the problem and formulated a petition to the Board of Trustees of Bluffton College, asking for the organization of the Theological department as a distinct institution, consisting of the Witmarsum Graduate Seminary, and the Witmarsum Bible Training School. Ths petition was submitted to the Board of Trustees at its next regular meeting and a committee of five men was appointed to proceed with the organization of a separ- ate Seminary. The Seminary Committee held two meetings, one on February 1, 1921 and another on March 29, 1921. Plans were made to give three distinct courses, namely, a Bible Course, a Theological College course, leading to the degree of Bachelor of Theology and a regular Graduate Seminary course, leading to the degree of Bachelor of Divinity. At the regular session of the Board of Trustees of Bluffton College in June, 1921, the Board voted to make the Seminary a separate and distinct institution and appointed a committee to take out articles of incorporation for the Seminary under the name of Witmarsum Theological Seminary. These incorporators and the Board of Trustees of Witmarsum Theological Seminary held a meeting to plan for further action. This Board was aware of the great task and heavy responsibility that it was about to as- sume, and'in humble petition asked guidance and direction of Almighty God. The love for the Church and an active faith in the mission of the Church mingled in humble peti- tion that the'Witmarsum Theological Seminary might become the means of greater ser- vice to man kind for the Mennonite church. The members of the faculty having all been elected, the plans for the Seminary were completed and on September 13, 1921, the doors were thrown open, and the Sem.- inary was launched out upon what we hope to be a most successful career.

Its aim is to help in the solution of problems aris- ing in student life and to be influential in constructive supervision over student enter- prises during the year. Every year standards of conduct are recommended to the student body in order that all might co-operate in attaining the high ideals and customs of our College. The regu- lar functions of the Senate are: to elect the Honor Court, the Editor and the Business Manager of the Witmarsum, and to supervise all student activities not conducted by other organizations. The membership of the Senate consists of student representatives as follows: four Seniors, three Juniors, two Sophomores and one Freshinang and is represented by the following members: Obern Ramseyer '22 ...... ............

It arranges for all joint and open meetings and inter-society contests, and carries on all business which the few societies have in common. The council is composed of the chairman, who is a faculty member, and two members elected for the year from each of the four societies. Throug'h this organization the four societies are able to obtain splendid co-opera- liong and can work together in a way that is most beneficial to the student body.

The Alethean Literary Society ranks high in the realm of Bluffton College literary activities. This society aims at none less than the highest literary achievements. Its members believe in rigorous training for public work, and therefore are not content to neglect the training of 'their literary talent. Since woman's place, in the political and social life of the nation, is being recognized more and more, the Aletheans are convinced that the country's college Women should be well prepared to meet, and cope with, these great opportunities, in the best possible way. Great privileges for this training and development are afforded in the literary societies. By speaking in public before groups of fellow students, by reading essays or papers of their own composition, and by debating and reporting in more or less in- formal ways, they gradually develop the poise and dignity in stage appearance, which is so valuable in public work. The programs given this year have been of unusual interest. The topics discussed have been instructive and interestingg they consisted of social, economic and national interest. A few miscellaneous programs have added variety very admirably. A good deal of real literary talent has been displayed amongst the new students. This promises great things for the future of the society. A In Inter-collegiate contests, as well as in Inter-society contests and open programs, the Aletheans have always taken their place with the other societies. Both in co-opera- tion with their brother society, the Athenians, and alone, they are proving themselves fully capable of attaining literary efficiency.

At the beginning of the year the four societies together gave an open program which all new students, especially, were urged to attend. After this meeting an invitation Was extended to all non-members in the student body to join one of the societies. Sixteen girls applied for membership in the Philomathean Society and Were duly accepted into its ranks. The semi-monthly programs of this society were of excellent quality and consisted mostly of orations, speeches, debates, impromtus and parlia- mentary drills. In spite of the many other exciting and interesting college activities which occupy the student's mind day after day, the literary so- cieties look back over a year of unusual success. Nineteen twenty-one to nineteen twenty-two makes an epoch in the literary activity of Bluffton College. President ,,,,,,,, Vice President Secretary .............,, Treasurer .......

Though the number of old members, who returned at the beginning of the year, was comparatively small, a large number of Freshmen selected this as their fu- ture society. With the addition of these new members, the number in the society approached the point of greatest efficiency. The meetings were very interesting and instructive, and all members by having the opportuni- ty to take part often, received the full benefit of the activities. I Varied programs-consisting of readings, essays, talks, orations, edi- torials, debates and parliamentary drills -were given. By making him- self personally responsible for the success of the meetings, each member helped to make these programs well worth while for all present. Due to the large number of active members the work of the year has been very successful, and we look forward to a great future for this society.

ADELPHIAN LITERARY SOCIETY The Adelphian Literary Society has striven throughout the year to live up to higher literary ideals. The literary programs have been varied, instructive and interesting. Work consisted of debates, essays, orations, impromptu speeches and parliamentary drill with an occasional humorous number to add a little spice among the more serious productions. Versatile programs are designed to develop all literary talents so that poise and ease can be maintained before the public While rendering any form of produc- tion. The constructive criticism that has been given each production at every meeting by Way of pointing out faults and good points has been a valuable aid in directing all literary efforts toward a higher standard. The greatest value of literary societies lies in the fact that they prepare one for greater possibilities of life after college. The more obvious results of Adel- phian effort can be seen by observing the Adelphian members holding po- sitions of leadership in practically all phases of college life. In short We have put into practice in our programs that sage advice, We learn to do by doing. Our membership being somewhat large, no efort Was made to secure new members except to extend to them an invitation. Quite a number of Freshmen responded to this opportunity. Within that number it is easy to recognize some real literary ability. We are proud of them and firmly be- lieve We offer them a fertile field for the cultivation of their talents. The societies planned to meet on every other Tuesday night through out the school year, but many programs had to be postponed because of other conflicting meetings. Literary Workers feel that the greater possi- bilities for good have been seriously affected by this too often interference of other college activities. The literary societies are among the most im- portant of student organizations and the Adelphians insist that lite1'ary night should be kept open, by those in position to maintain it. As a Whole this year has been one of fair literary success and We earnestly hope that in the future more consideration will be tendered lit- erary societies so that the development of talents will continue each year with increasing success.

Sixteen would-be wranglers engaged in mor- tal combat with words on the evening of November 1 to see who should survive. After the smoke of battle had cleared away, Judges Whitmer, Berky and Miller decided in favor of the following eight: Harry C. Krehbiel, Kennion K. Kauffman, Maurice Troyer, Erwin Zehr, Irwin Bauman, Everett Augspurger, Raymond Hilty and Vernon Freidinger. Everett Augspurger replaced Otho Thompson as secretary-treasurer. Professor Miller was elected coach. Many colleges challenged our team, but only two were given a chance to display their ability. The regular annual triangular debate with Findlay and Defiance was held on March 31. The question for debate this year was: Resolved, that the policy of closed shop with open union should receive the support of public opinion. The aifirmative team consisted of K. K. Kauffman, Captain, Erwin Zehrg Irwin Baumang and Orville Litwiller, alternate, Orville Litwiller taking the place originally held by Vernon Freidinger. The negative team consisted of Harry C. Krehbiel, Captain, Maurice Troyerg Everett Augs- purgerg and Leonard Graber, alternate. Leonard Graber filling the vacancy caused by Raymond Hilty's resignation. Eighty-six Troyer Krehbiel Miller Augspurger Graber THE TRIANGULAR DEBATE It was long thought, especially by the coeds of the college, that a debate was to be shunned not as something dangerous but as something altogether dry and uninter- esting. If the fair ones attended a debate at all it was from a sense of loyalty to the college or to ............ 'tjust because . This year, however, on the evening of March 31 an exceedingly large audience, at least half of which was girls, was present to hear the argument upon a very timely question. The Bluffton men easily convinced any skeptics that debates are highly in- teresting and one witty speaker of the opposing side proved that they are also far from being dry. Debates in Bluffton College are rapidly becoming as popular as athlet- ic contests. This year the negative team of each school in the triangle debated away from home. The Bluffton negative team, which was composed of Harry Krehbiel, Maurice Troyer, Everett Augspurger and Leonard Graber, alternate, went to Defiance. There it was found that, while both teams had prepared excellent constructive speeches, Bluffton proved to be more than a match for the opponents and won by a 3-0 decision. The Findlay negative team came to Bluffton to meet our affirmative team consist- ing of Kennion K. Kauffan, Erwin Zehr, Irwin Bauman and Orville Litwiller, alternate. Our men showed much real ability and extensive preparation and by their clear think-- ing and easy, convincing speech won the decision of each of the judges.

The Witmarsum has been enlarged from a four column sheet, fourteen inches long , to a iive column affair, nineteen inches long. This improvement made it possible to Jw publish the weekly news of the many student activities and operations in a deserving Q fashion. Not only did this tend to give each line of collegiate endeavor sufficient pub- N licity but also did it make complete and well balanced write ups. As Editor-in-Chief, Mr. Kauffman cannot be praised too highly. His sheet was al- . ways newsy, interesting and progressive. The policy pursued throughout the entire 1 l year was one of co-operation with the existing activities for the good of H' Bluffton. In dealing with questions of policy, Mr. Kauffman always decided in favor ' of the one that augered for the best to the institution. His editorials always bore that E in mind as did his relations with the various bodies on the campus. The great co-opera- tion of the staff during the entire year is indeed a tribute to his leadership. Mr. Kauiman has certainly proved his journalistic qualities and the great success awarded ' , him is none other than he deserves. Believing that the paper was now large enough to make the position of managing is editor an asset and having the ideal material in the person of Harold Alderfer, this , position was established as a permanent fixture of future Witmarsums. A great deal ii 1 of the credit for the splendid make up and appearance of the sheet must be given to Mr. Alderfer, whose journalistic ability is of the highest type. Besides his executive ability Aldy contributed some of the best Writeups of the year, being an all around i ul writer from Faculty Sidelights to Gas Attacks. f The financial success of the Witmarsum is due to the prodigious efforts of the Busi- Q ' ness Manager, Mr. Krehbiel. Starting the year with a large debt against the account plus a greater current expense, Mr. Krehbiel has succeeded in clearing the besmirched I' 3 ledger pages and giving the sheet a new lease on life. Wall Street is waiting for inan- X ciers of that calibre. 'P' Upholding the journalistic reputation of the family, Petite Peggy graced the Wit- marsum with her brilliant pen in many of the head line articles. Society and elite N entertainments were coveredby Miss Scheid in her usual winning style. 1 Clara Birky showed considerable ability in journalism and was an invaluable mem- , ber of the stai by virtue of her faithful work. Corienne Lowry, our own poetess, con- L5 tributed with her snappy sketches and happy little poems which broke up the monotony ' of the paper very opportunely. Byron Spangler, our funny man, was the soul of 1 1 , wit-marsum. Petie showed coming stuE and we predict a great future for him on , future Witmarsum staffs. Clova Baumgartner and Everett Augspurger made great Q' strides as beginners and should be good material for next yearis staff. Interest in the 3 work is what counts and these two have put in the Witmarsum their whole hearts beside LQ their writeups. Les Sprunger, also of Frosh fame, took charge of the many athletic Auf events of the year and covered them as a veteran would have been proud to do. Les 4 loves to splash ink and weilds a mean quill. He is another of our white hopes for future Press Clubs. The advertisers had more ads than ever before and the circulation managers had more subscriptions than ever before and that's a better compliment than we can give ' 1 them with our Howing 1i.ne. The whole year went off smoothly and the success of the staff should encourage 1 E future staffs to greater success.

Without record of the contributions made by these Keystoners to the life of the campus, the annals of the college would be incomplete. From this group come loyal support and participation in athletics, debating, glee clubs and all other forms of activ- ity important in the development of a real college life. A Pennsylvania Club banquet was held in Ropp Hall the fore part of the year and the spirit manifested there was with the club throughout the year.

ILLINOIS CI.I'li Illlnois has this year, as in previous vears, sent to llluffton a large number of stu- clents, who represent their goocl olll state in nearly every branch znnl phase of' the school activities. They have one interest in common :xml that is, loyalty to their state, next to loyalty to Bluffton College. All of the Illinoisians met early in the year and organ- izemlg electing Maurice Troyer as Presialentg Pauline Schantz as Vice llresiclent and Dwight Salzman as Secretary annl Tieasurer. At the enml of the first semester some of the members of the club left school but txvo more were a4l1lenl and at the present time the club boasts of nineteen members.

Since then the membership has gradually increased and this year is made up of representatives from Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota, Nebraska, Idaho, Washington and California. Active interest is taken by the individuals in Literary Societies, Glee Clubs, Athletics and Christian organizations. Each year the crowning event is a social gathering which is truly characteristic of the western spirit and this spirit blended with that of Bluffton tends to build students loyal and true to their Alma Mater.

Bluffton students, who claim the glorious state of Indianii as theirs, organized themselves this year, forthe first time in the annals of Bluffton clubdom. Their purpose is to bind those of common state interest and customs into a more closely united brother- hood as well as that of better representing and advertising Bluffton college in 'their home communities. Early in the college year plans were made to organize the club. All Hoosiers im- mediately took interest and became very enthusiastic. During the year one banquet was held which every Hoosier well remembers. Their Indiana poets were praised, Indiana songs were sung and Indiana eats were disposed of in true Indiana style.

Cabinet members returned to Bluffton full of College Spirit. Plans were made to meet all the. girls as they came to Bluffton on Monday. The cabinet members joined by a number of Y. W. girls met the trains and cars upon which our new college friends arrived. Remembering the first few weeks as a Freshman, the Y. girls did every thing possi- ble to make the newcomers feel comfortable and happy. When the girls reached their moms, they found clusters of pink and yellow flowers to chase away the gloom. The association girls were again on hand on registration day, ready to help. In every possi- ble way the girls tried to be true friends and prevent those homesick and lonesome looks, sometimes seen during the first few weeks of college, from appearing on the faces of the strangers. Following the opening of college, the Y. M. and Y. W. did their part to get people acquainted. On Tuesday of the opening week the girls stole away to Eaton's Woods. There they found a cheery campfire brightening the cool dusk of an autumn day. The streamlet, the ragged hill, and the stately oak and maple trees, lent a festive air to the scene so that all enjoyed the eats together. The next day, Friday, the Y. M. and Y. W. entertained the faculty and student body at a joint reception. These functions had done much to show the new girls the friendliness of the Y. W. C. A. and a large number attended the first regular meeting the ,next week. Several weeks following the opening of college the Y. W. members were glad to welcome thirty new girls into their association. The Young Women's Christian Association is an organization which stretches a three fold ideal around the world. The blue triangle, which is the emblem of the or- ganization, signifies a well balanced Christian life, physically, mentally and spiritually. The Bluffton Association extends hearty greetings and best wishes to the former stu- dents and alumni of the College, and to its friends throughout the World.

C. A. The department of the Y. M. C. A. as it appears in Bluffton College is, perhaps, the most vitalizing force working among the young men of the college. It is the inliuence of the Y. M. and the Y. W. that causes anyone who comes upon the campus to feel that here, surely, exists an intangible something that is not to be found in the college where the Y. organizations are not functioning. The wholesome atmosphere existing among the men on and about the campus is due to a very great extent to the fact that the Y. M. C. A. is promoting the physical, spiritual, mental and social-welfare of the group. It would seem that the value of the contribution made by this organization to the life on the campus, can hardly be over- estimated. Each man has the privilege of entering into Christian activities, and a spirit is created and fostered within the student which leads to the cooperation of the entire group. The work of the Y. M. C. A. for the year began before the time set for the opening of the school year, when the cabinet members returned a few days early to discuss plans for the year, and to arrange for the reception, and placing of the students as they returned. This was followed by a joint Y. M.-Y. W. reception and later by the Y Stag where all the fellows both new and old were heartily welcomed to the social life of the campus and the other activities as offered by the college and the various other organi- zations. No less great was the enthusiasm and interest shown by the fellows in the regular religious meetings held each week. These meetings were addressed by a great mlany prominent men from outside the College as well as members of the College and Semine ary faculties, and also members of the student body. All of these regular meetings were very Well attended. In fact, every undertaking of the Y. M. was backed to the limit. Practically the entire number of the men connected with the college enrolled as members and contributed splendidly to the budget, making it possible to support the local, state and national work, and also contribute a neat sum to missions. it was considered a rare treat to be able to have Dad', Elliott on the campus for a period of three days and the influence and memory of those messages delivered by him will not soon be forgotten. Bible study groups and prayer groups including every stu- dent, were organized to pave the way for his coming. So vital did the prayer groups become to the various groups of students that they continued to meet once or twice a week throughout the remainder of the year.

Only a few Volunteers remained from last year's organization, consequently the band was slow in getting its work started, but when once started made this year a grand success. The organization was fortunate to get, in addition to the new college students, members from the Seminary and College Faculty. The members then were: Mr. and Mrs. Austin Keiser, Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Pannabecker, Bedros Kurkyasharian, Gerhardt Toews, Erwin Zehr, Herbert Schmidt and Raymond Hilty. From, this group Mr. Pannabecker was elected president, who aided by his wife, successfully directed the group. Meetings were held every Friday morning at 6, o'clock in the Seminary building. The book The Missionary Outlook in the Light of the War was studied. This recent book showed how the war made missionary opportunities greater and why they must be met soon. Prayer and discussion also had their large part in these meetings and only members of the band can know what such meetings really mean. Five of the Volunteers attended the Student Volunteer Conference at Mt. Union College in March and as a result, the band had new life. Three new members, Mag- dalena Funkhauser, Reuben Liechty and Vernon Sprunger were addedg more deputa- tion meetings were held in the nearby churchesg a poster campaign was begun, a missionary map showing stations where Blufton Volunteer Alumni are laboring at the present was placed in the College Building. These are only some of the things being done, but they are enough to show that Bluffton College will continue to shine even in the uttermost parts of the earth. HONOR ROLL ORGANIZATION Early this spring, Dean Byers representing the wishes of the faculty, called together the students who at any time were members of the Honor Roll to organize an association. A committee was selected to draw up a constitution for that purpose. The constitution as submitted by the commiittee, provided that the members' should include those who received grades not lower than B for a full year's work, since 1918, those who received grades not lower than B for three successive semesters before 1918, and those who received departmental honors in any year. To date, the organi- zation in unnamed and an emblem, has not been agreed upong but the committee plans to dispose of the matter in a short time. The ascribed object of the organization is two-fold. First, to promote scholarship in college and second, to present that phase of college life more strongly to high school students interested in making Bluffton their Alma Mater. The organization plans to hold a banquet during Commencement Week to which all of the old students and graduates who are eligible to membership will be invited. The charter members, or those who were in school this year are: Faery Huber, '22, Agnes Amstutz, '22, Winifred Scheid, '22g Alma Iutzi, '23g Arthur Rosenberger, '21g Prof. Floyd Pannabecker, '17, Abram Wiebe '22g Harold Alderfer, '22g Irwin Bauer, '23. The following officers were elected: Pres., Prof. Pannabeckerg Sec.-treas., Winifred Scheidg Member of Executive Committee, Abram Wiebe. fQlIlLiQ.QZQQ'QQQTIQIQffjifilfflfiflf,EQ , i,oQ?.gQ::--!- L'.lf,ffQ,fi.Q1ZlI.IIf 'A'IT1fT'f.1Yf One Hundred ,, 1.1 mf n E 'Q'iQ'hiEfT'if,,gf..1,. so 41- 'i' 1 L sri' 1 or ff9E.4g4.s-g4..si,...,,,,, l fl' 1 1 1 , 1 M BLUFFTON COLLEGE ALUMNI 1 4 l The old saying that One is known by the company he keeps may well be put in the 1 scholastic language and made to read A college is known by the alumni it turns out . Q Not in a boastful way, yet in a sense of justice to the college let it be said that the f sons and daughters of this institution are a credit to it and to its teachings. It might FQ- be said, too, that they would be a credit to any other institution of the same type. N The ministers, missionaries, teachers and business people who have not left I, behind the remembrances of the ideal as they saw it here, are, for the most part, in Tl ' the busy world trying to keep it buoyed up and optimistic. What better part could any one be asked to play in the affairs of his fellow men than our brothers and sisters are playing at the present time? True, none of them. have, as yet, startled the nation by their ability as rulers or the world by their sophistical utterances, but it should be l remembered that the Good Book says we must first become servants and possibly l 1 that is the period that the Alumni are in at the present time. Service to one's school, church, state and nation, with possibly the world thrown 1 ' in as good measure, is the thing that is needed at the present time. May every Blufton Alumnus live up to every opportunity possible, for only in that way can 5 Q they show their college to its best advantage. For the present year the alumni have been active in helping to carry on the endowment campaign, in the organization of the Illinois-Bluffton Club and in pub- lishing The Bluffton Alumnus . The Illinois Alumni and those who are in Illinois 1 at the present time have aided President Mosiman by publishing the work of the 1,5 college to such an extent to the people of that state that they have very sub- .JH stantially added to the endowment fund. Early in the year, the above Alumni actively I set about to arrange a purely alumni banquet on the day after Thanksgiving. Officers Q were elected and it was then 'decided to have all the alumni and old students at the N L banquet next year. The executive committee of the association began publishing The 1 Bluffton Alumnus as a means of bringing the news of alumni to all. The paper lu should have a great mission in securing the active interest of all former B. C. students FJ' and on the whole it has been ably supported by some of the alumni and former 1 3 students. Remember, alumni, that every great and large institution began as this one and went through some of the same trials and troubles. Are the alumni of B. C. to be less courageous and zealous in the interests of their Alma Mater than the alumni were to these institutions or will the B. C. alumni do as others have done? Witn ri ,N the true Bluffton spirit they answer, Yes, we will be true to our Alma Mater . ll, 1 '1 1 111 gl lil 1l 1511 51 lu' -.,.-- .,.. ,-, ss, nf ,x 1, , , ,,.. ... ............,.

VVith faithful sincerity and unprejudiccd devotion, he has built up athletic combinations that represent the high standard of clean sports which Bluffton upholds. His calm and deliberate manners have won the heart of every individual that comes under his influence. His noble character has been an influential factor in winning many events for Bluffton. Rather would he see his team play a clean game and 'lose than play shady one and win. This Pennsylvanian came to Bluffton in 1915, after obtaining his degree at Prince- ton. He came here as instructor of physical science, but in 1919, he also assumed the duties of athletic coach and physical director. This placed him before the student body in a new field off activity. Coach Berky has had much experience in all phases of athletics and his success as coach is due to his theoretical knowledge of sports and his methods of practical and rigorous training. He has always been a close student of every form of collegiate sporr and with the large amount of' excellent material with which to work has in the last two years turned out the best athletic representations in the annals of the college.

The players arrived i by train, trolley and auto to start the largest tournament yet held here. Arlington.. L Ada, Beaverdam, Bluffton, Harrod, Jackson Center, North Baltimore, Lafayette, Middlef burg, Mount Cory, New Bremen, Pandora, Rawson, Ridgeway, Rockford, 'Spencer- ville, Van Buren and West Liberty were represented. These were some of the fastest teams of this district and this foretold a good tourney. Former varsity men were in- i eluded among the coaches. Menno Lehman of West Liberty and Herbert Gottshall of I North Baltimore, former B. C. athletes brought their teams here. i i The high school fellows were supplied with ample housing facilities, excellent meals, 3 F! and entertainment, due to the well worked out plans of' the committees in charge. The games proper started at 1:00 P. M. March 10. Only two games were played the first round, the fourteen teams drawing byes were placed in the second round. The 9 ' Mount Cory-West .Liberty fracas, and the Ada-New Bremen game, were the only two 1 of the first preliminary games. . From the start, the games were close and interesting. All the games were hard -,J fought with few walkaways . The Bluffton-Lafayette game in the third round was the big event of the tourney. Bozh teams being strong contenders for the cup and evenly matched, a five minute overtime period was needed before Lafayette could claim I the victory by a 13-12 score. Ada proved to be the surprise of the tournament. .Ada was not expected to be in the running when she barely escaped defeat at the hands 1 E of New Bremen in the first round. This game, however, proved to be her hardest as the ,lg machine ran smoothly after that combat. li 'N The time for the finals saw Lafayette and Ada primed to fight for the honors. Ada, having twice tasted victory, was determined to secure the trophy cup. Lafayette, Q remembering they once held the honors, was willing to light for it. Ada won 27-14. The i .' winners deserved the victory due to their good defensive and to the inspired leadership 1 ' of Capt. Dixon who starred during the whole tourney. The gymnasium, was packed at nearly all the sessions of the tournament. During the -I-ri final evening the bleachers groaned under the weight of the estimated crowd of 1500 peo- ' ple who crowded into every possible corner to see the games. These splendid attend- ances assured the management of financial success. ' The teams were well balanced machines dependent upon teamwork rather than in- i ' dividual playing. This made the task of choosing the all star teams a difficult one. FIRST PRELIMINARIES , West Liberty 21 Mt. Cory 16 Ada 11 New Bremen 9 1 ,.

Ada held the advantage by permitting Spencerville to score only two points the first half. Dixon's shooting and playing furnished most of the thrills of the game. The score at the end of the first half was 10-2. In the second half Spencerville started out strong scoring two goals in quick succession. After that they were unable to break through Ada's five-man defense. Ada also could not score very easily as they had to be satisfied with only five extra points the last half' but won 15-6. Lafayette 21 Rockford 13 Two brilliant teams clashed in the last game of the semi-finals when Rockford met Lafayette. Lafayette's brilliant passing and teamwork netted them. a string of field goals before Rockford got started. When Lafayette had eleven points Rockford crawled up on them within three points. At the end of the first half Lafayette held the score being 11-8. In the second half Rockford tied the score at 11. Then Lafayette spurted with Urich starring on offense and Hall on defense and toppled Rockford by eight points at the end of the combat. CONSOLATION GAMES Mt.

Lafayette hammered at Ada's defense and squirmed through for a number of counters. Both teams displayed a high class of basket-ball with both playing a heady game. Hall starred for Lafayette and Dixon for Ada. The half ended with Ada leading 9-6. In the second half Dixon and his men garnered many extra points. Lafayette surpassed in pass work but could not score consistently. The game ended 27-14 with Ada gaining permanent possession of the trophy cup. i PRESENTATION OF CUPS Immediately after the college game, President Mosiman paid a glowing tribute to the standard of basket-ball played during the entire tournament and especially to Ada for its glorious victory. Besides the trophy cup, Ada received the smaller first place cup, and Lafayette, the second place cup. The choices for the all star teams were namqed and given silver and bronze fobs, the silver to the first squad and bronze to the second.

Q At a mass meeting of the student body held shortly before Armistice Day, tryouts 'l 2 V E were held for cheer leaders. As a result of these tryouts Floyd Byers was re-elected 5,51 cheer master and Byron Spangler and Harold Michaud were elected cheer leaders. L: 1 Harlod Reusser replaced Leslie Sprunger as understudy. To these four is due no small if l share of the college's athletic victories. Floyd was a- master at getting the students lg to use their best voices that Bluffton might Win. His pep and dash brought out the 3 X l same qualities in those on the sidelines. Petie was only a shade behind the master in ' 1 ', this field of activity as was also Howdy, Their sense of humor caused the onlookers to JH laugh and at the same time was an incentive to them to cheer heartily. Reusser, after i a season's experience as understudy, should qualify as a good leader next year. By a l plan adopted this year the organization of the cheering was the best yet, and no doubt X Nr it will be continued hereafter. . Q Yea, Bluffton!

The game was played, Armistice Day, on a very soggy field in the midst of snow flurries. In spite of difficulties the backfield displayed a smashing offense and the line starred with a stonewall defense. Bowers intercepted a forward pass early in the struggle and scored a touch down. Later in the same quarter, Welty recovered a fumble behind the opponents goal for a second touchdown. Niswander kicked both goals and later made a pretty attempt at a drop kick. The combat then resolved itself into a punting duel with Capt. Stearns holding the advantage. Ramseyer, at tackle, was the outstanding star of the game but the whole team and Substitutions: Krehbiel for Hilty. Coach Berky are to be congratulated for the splendid record.

The season opened with only four first string men in school: Roth, Alderfer, Captain Stearns, and Strubhar. They were the nucleus for the new squad. This uncertainty as to the composition of the line up brought out all kinds of dark horse material. After much sifting and weeding out, the squad finally reduced to ten men. These men were entered upon a season of close, hard fought games. It certainly proved to be a season of thrills. Six games were decided by the narrow margin of five points or less. The season's record shows seven victories out of fifteen collegiate games. Six of these victories were in the N. W. Ohio Conference. Findlay and Bowling Green twice suffered defeat while Toledo and Defiance lost one each to the varsity. The conference games, this year, were hotly contested afairs. The rivals showed surprising strength and forced Bluffton into second place in the conference standing. Defiance copped first place due to Bluffton's losing two conference games. The varsity this year measured up favorably to the high standard set by varsity teams of former years. The victory over Dayton University, conquerors of Muskingum, Capital University and Baldwin-Wallace demonstrates this. Other outstanding victories were those over Toledo University, Defiance and Bowling Green. The feature of the year was the last minute spurts which the squad made and which often brought them victory. This was especially true in the Defiance and the Toledo University games. Defiance, backed by two carloads of rooters, invaded the home stronghold determined to win. They put up a good fight and only by a last minute rally of Coach Berky's squad were they defeated. The most thrilling of all the games was the Toledo University affair. With the score 10-4 against them at the half the varsity overcame an eight point lead in the last seven minutes, tieing the score, 21-21. In a five minute overtime session Bluffton triumphed 25-23. In only a few instances was the opponent able to score more than thirty points. Bluffton was always not far behind, determined to fight to the end. One reason for the never give up spirit which the squad possessed is found in the support which they re- ceived. The fellows were always encouraged and urged on by a mob of cheering stu- dents. The cheer leaders, under the direction of Cheer Master Byers, acquitted them- selves nobly. Two men, Alderfer and Strubhar, will be lost to the squad by graduationf They played their last varsity basket ball in the Dayton University game. The outlook for next year is very promising. A good nucleus will be on hand for another fast squad. Coach Berky said that he is pleased with the showing of this year's squad and has bright hopes for a strong team next year. GUARD TESLA STEARNS BLUFFTON, O. Played in 30 Halves. Scored 18 points. With Stearns on deck as Captain, a good season was assured. Tubby came back to the guarding game with a rush. With the ball anywhere near his territory Tubby was on the alert. It was rank folly for any one to pass him as Stearns is one of the fastest guards in this section of the state. A born fighter, he added much to the spirited playing of the game. Nearly every game was featured by Tubby's playing. This was his third year on the squad. By his leadership and playing he inspired his mates to do their utmost and thus added games to the Winning column. One Hundred Thirteen T I T V V I 47,7 Mu-A V -A ,mud L 1 .1 L v 4? l 5 0 'V Ig, YN f K in , . X . r K gt, , Illinois had a mighty part in the varsity this year. Gibson City may rightly be proud of her native son. Roth distinguished as one of the high scorers of the year. His grit under fire, and his basket shooting ability, contributed considerable to the re- cord the team made. Waldo could toss the ball through the loop from nearly any position on the Hoor. He was on the job every minute and took advantage of every opportunity he saw. Waldo FORWARD VVALDO ROTH GIBSON CITY, ILL. Played in 22 Halves. Scored 94 points. FORWARD HAROLD ALDERFER BLUFFTON, O. Played in 30 Halves. Scored 103 points. Aldy', was another veteran on the squad this year. Al- ways a determined player, he never gave up whatever the score. As this was his last year on the varsity Aldy gave his all for the team. By his persistent work the squad was able at all times to roll up a satisfactory score. Aldy was liable to do his best in the crucial moments when things began to look blue. His never say die spirit was well illustrated in the Toledo University game when he scored seven baskets i11 the final half. Aldy will be missed when the roll is called next year. still has two years of service before him and without doubt will be one of the main cogs of next years machine. f f1 'ff1 ::' if H , CENTER LYLE STRUBHAR WASHINGTON, ILL. ' il' Played in 30 Halves. Scored 20 points. -' Strubhar lived up to expectations. After a season as under- Vai' study at center Jake, came into his own. Prophecy made of him a mainstay of the squad and a main spring he was. The opponent may have had it on Jake in height but Jake evened the score. His jumping ability stood him in good stead and en- ' abled him to overcome any handicap in height which his oppo- nent might possess. His fight and floor work was a conspicuous part of every combat. As to rolling up the score Jake was no by slouch, making points when the opponent least expected it. I . -H .I .T .. ....

Penny earned his promotion to the varsity this year. His guarding has been one of the features of the season. This son of sunny California did his best to add to the glory of the golden west. With the forwards covered in the game Penny would race toward the basket as if he were bound for Reedley. A moment later the referee's whistle announced the goal. Penny always worried his opponent by persistently popping up where the ball was and capturing it. With Stearns and Welty as guards a smooth working defense was assured. Penny, still has a year of basket ball before him. , if Q a it N 1 v 5 1 X M ar lf GUARD ALFORD MOSER BLUFFTON, O. Played in 12 Hzxlves. Scored 8 points. The third of the Moser family of athletes was added to the varsity this year. With characteristic blood in his veins t'Alf followed in the foot prints of his brothers and became sentinel of the goal. 'tAlf can be depended upon to deliver the goods. This caused his promotion to the varsity. Alf has a way of wearing out his opponent both physically and in morale. As his foe weakens Alf seems to grow stronger and put forth his best efforts. In this way his presence is quickly noticed upon the floor. He still has two years of college athletics before him. J .. GUARD REUEL NISWANDER BLUFFTON, O. ' Played in 7 Halves. Scored 2 points. Reuel was another addition to the squad this year. His floor work and ability of passing the ball are his strong points. His experience of other years and his work this year warranted his promotion to the varsity. Working with Captain Stearns he formed an important part of an efficiently working machine. His dogged pursuit of his opponent was relentless and the enemy often fell by the wayside and was left behind in the dust. Reuel has another year in which to perform with the varsity and doubtless will be a valuable man. I I I rf T ' az. fazasamfg5rf'ee-me f FORWARD ARTIE HOSTETTLER BLUFFTON, O. Played in 8 Halves. Scored 22 Points. Artie was one of the few Freshmen who managed to break in on the big show this year. His previous high school experi- ence qualified him for a basket shooter. His longitude and un- canny way ot' hurling the ball made him a valuable asset to the team. When things began to look gloomy, a spectacular shot by this infant forward would do much to raise the spirits. Art still has three years of opportunity before him and, if he grasps his chance, will doubtless be a very important man on the squad. FORWARD ORVILLE LITWILLER HOPEDALE, ILL. Played in 6 Halves. Scored 4 points. Another Frosh from the Illinois group of athletes was added in the person of Litwiller this year. When one of the regular forwards seemed to be flagging in spirit, this fast basket tosser was sent in. His spirited playing raised the morale of the squad and helped them to earn another victory. He developed the quality of ending the game right. In the last minutes of the combat he would recover the ball from dangerous ground and toss it through the place prepared for it. His speed and unerr- ing eye made him a thorn in the side of his opponent. Days of opportunity await him in the near future. FORWARD HARRY NISWANDER PANDORA, O. Played in 2 Halves. Scored 4 points. Niswander-'s athletic life is one of constant promotion. His stellar Work in his high school days promoted him to an all star Tournament team. From there he has climbed to the Varsity. Harry is a fast man and puzzles his opponent by his speed. The agility of this Frosh forward is matched by his ability to shoot baskets. Harry was often sent into the game to show up the op- ponent and he often succeeded in doing so. Although he did not play in enough games to get a letter, he was a valuable man and will mean much in the near future. One Hundred Sixteen Sutter Troyer llurt-ky A. Baumgartner 0. Baumgartner lierky Bowers lliller Spangler Hilty Ramseyur CULLEGE RESERVES It is a well known fact that often the real heroes are those about whom nothing is said. They may be doing a great work but still they remain in the back ground. The Reserves are this kind of persons. They have been working hard all year, giving their all that the school might benefit. The second squad came out faithfully and practisedg even if they knew they could not all make the varsity. Although they had few chances to show their skill in public, they performed their part willingly. To them is due much of the credit for the showing the team made this year. It was against them that the Varsity tried out their wares at first hand. Coach Berky's forma- tions and plays were given a chance to work out against a worthy opponent. These gruelling combats with the second squad did much to prepare the varsity for their strenuous schedule. This second squad is well fortified with guards. They have both the big husky variety and the fast, Hashy kind. At center they have a veteran player in Burcky. For forwards they also have some good men. Petie Spangler constantly kept his guard worried by his speedy fioorwork and shooting. In Sutter they secured a good running mate for Petie . All in all this was a good squad as the varsity men will testify. Some of these re- serves will doubtless be promoted to the first squad next year. LINEUP Homer Sutter ..... F.

GIRLS' BASKET BALL Girls' Basket ball found itself in a unique position this year. In Coach Berky they had a trainer who took charge of the girls' squad in the same decisive manner as he did of the men's varsity. His inside knowledge of the game enabled him to develop a team playing a running game. He took untiring pains, and from the excellent material on hand developed a strong team. The teamwork of this little troop of co-eds was great. The quick, short passes down the floor followed by a goal made by the stellar forwards was a pretty sight to behold. The college certainly had sufficient reasons to be proud of this team. Only three games were played this year, as the fourth cannot really be classified as a game. Two of the-se games were with Manchester College and the other with Toledo University. The team made a splendid recordg winning all scheduled contests. Man- chester was played here J an. 25 and, due to the excellent Hoor work and shooting of the Bluffton lassies, were sent home to the tune of 26-10. The next game was with Toledo University here. The Toledo girls were determined to avenge their two defeats last year, and put up a hard fight. But the Bluffton team by a hard struggle kept their slate clean, winning 12-6. On March 4, the lassies played Manchester College again, this time on a foreign Hoor. Playing their usual fast game, they put another contest on ice, 19-15. On March 18, the girls were surprised by an unexpected appearance here of the Wittenberg girls to play a game. The team had not practised since the Manchester game but agreed to play. The girls were off color and so dropped the combat 18-1. To form a smoothly working squad it is necessary that every member does her part well and this was true of the girls' varsity in all the regular games. Nelle consistently outjuinped her opponent and kept the ball moving toward the Bluifton goal. With the ball in play Peggy, would slip in and prevent the ball from getting into dangerous hands. The forwards: Mugzy , Carrie, and Ellen had their adversaries in their power. When the opponent thought she held the upper hand these basket tossers would slip from cover and score. As the forwards held superiority in their territory so the guards dominated the opposite end. The sentinels Birky and Davidson put up a stonewall de- -fense, rarely permitting a rival to make a counter. Peggy made a good captain, leading her teammates into the game with the de- termination to win. Although this first squad gets much of the credit, much is also due to the reserves. The high quality of players on the second team gave the best possible practise to the regulars. The outlook for next year is very promising as Peggy is the only one to graduate. With these excellent prospects it needs only a full schedule to guarantee another successful season.

Alderfer, Ramseyer, Niswander, Baumgartner, Bowers and Studer were the nucleus for this year. The team opened the season by meeting the strong Bowling Green team on the Bluffton diamond. The opposing pitcher baffled the local swatsmen and Bluffton took the short end of' a 10-1 score. The next game was at Findlay where a hectic combat took won 22-15. Then Toledo came here and in a close, interesting game managed to nose out the locals 5-4. This was the best played game so far but this was also ragged in spots. Bowling Green vs. Bluffton Bluffton opened the season with Bowling Green here April 28. The air tight pitch- ing of Witmer and the heavy clouting of the Bowling Green team proved too much for the varsity. The final score was 10-1. Witmer proved to be unsolvable, striking out seventeen men and allowing only two hits while Bowers and Studer permitted twelve hits. Twelve upstaters fanned. The lineup for Bluffton was new and showed inexperi- ence. Bluffton's lone tally came in the ninth on a walk to Amstutz, a double by Aldy , and a wild throw to third. . Findlay vs. Bluffton The varsity won from Findlay in what proved to be swat fest, 22-15, on May 5. The outfield was sprinkled with a barrage of hits as the stickwielders solved the pitchers delivery. Bluffton started with a rush getting ten scores in the first inning. Findlay retaliated by scoring six. Both teams displayed varied types of ball keeping the game in doubt until the last man was out. Throughout the whole struggle Bluffton kept its poise and but for a few timely hits off Studer in the first and fourth innings, would have kept Findlay to a low score. Hilty at short played a brilliant game, clouting four hits in six trials, scoring five runs and stealing six bases. Toledo vs. Bluffton One of the closest games of the season was played here May 12 with Toledo U. The team showed good comback power and the outcome of the game was always in doubt. Toledo managed to get an early start and piled up a four point score. Errors played a large part in these scores. Bluffton made requital by scoring two. Toledo managed to slip another across. Then in the latter part of the struggle Aldy hit a freakish home run and soon after another runner counted, making the score five to four. Bowers showed that he had steady nerve and control when he struck out two men with the bases full. The last few innings were featured by air tight playing leaving the score 5-4. Defiance vs. Bluffton On May 16 the team met the strong aggregation from Defiance at Bluffton. From the start the game promised thrills. Four innings passed and still the score was 0-0. Then in the fifth, Defiance wielded heavy clubs and scored four runs. In the sixth Bluffton scored one by the good playing of Hilty. Defiance scored one more in the seventh and two in the eighth. A final rally in the ninth resulted in Bluffton adding another to their score. Final score 7-2. Rock of Defiance made nine strikeouts as did also Bowers. Bowers showed good stuff when he pitched out of holes in the first and sixth innings with the bases full, no man scoring. One Hundred Twenty-one Bowers Alderfer Studer Burcky THE BATTERIES The team was supplied with veteran hurlers this year. Walter Studer of Apple Creek. Ohio, and Herbert Bowers of Beaverdam, Ohio, returned to the slab with lots of stuff. To assist them was Leo Burcky of Tiskilwa, Ill., a newcomer. Harold Alderfer of Bluffton, Ohio, a veteran of three years college baseball, was on the receiving end. Studer returned last fall after a year's absence ready to take up the pitching end. His previous experience enabled him to take upon himself a large share of the pitching burden. He has the speed and control which makes the opposing batter feel foolish as the ball purposely evades the bat. When not pitching, Studer was transferred to the infield where he also performed nobly. With several years of baseball before him, Stu- der should develop into a star hurler. Bowers was another veteran who returned. He has plenty of steam, good control and variety which makes the batter wave at the outfielders. He is steady in the pinch and can be relied upon to deliver the goods. As a member of the wrecking crew Bowers holds a high place. Like his namesake the other Babe he clouts them to the woods. Due to his hitting ability and knowledge of the game Bowers was used in the outfield or at third when not on the mound. Burcky is a name to be feared in the realm of baseball. Young Ziggy seems to have inherited some of his brother's stuff. He is the third member of the hurling stai and with more experience will be a valued man on the squad. f'Aldy'7' was transferred this year from the hot corner to behind the mask. He holds clown the receiving end with the same determined air that he did the third sack. He has a pretty peg to second which nips them every time. With the bat he is a mighty club- ber and often connects with a pill for long drives. Aldy was elected Captain this year and throughout the season proved to be a game leader. His experience 'added greatly to the success of the year and his graduation will leave a large gap to be filled next year. One Hundred Twenty-two .i .... ....,,.. ,N .M , 7 .-.,.,.,. .....

Only on the second and third sacks were veterans holding down the honors. Tesla Stearns of Bluiton, Ohio, cavorted around first, Harry Ramseyer of Pulaski, Iowa, held down second, Roy Hilty of Pandora, Ohio, covered short and Reuel Niswander of Bluff- ton, Ohio, played third. Other prominent players were: Don Clymer, Mt. Cory, Ohio, first baseman, Homer Sutter, Pandora, Ohio, short stopg and Herbert Luginbuhl of Bluffton, Ohio, short stop. Stearns and Clymer did a good job of watching the initial sack. Both men are of the tall, lanky kind which one usually associates with first base. Tubby earned his promotion from the second squad where he played brilliant ball last year. His excellent playing and batting make him a valuable man on the team and a dangerous foe to the opponent. In Clymer we have a new comer who holds down first with good grace. He appears to be a promising man at the game. At second is the old timer of the team. Harry is always on deck with his chatter- ing encouragement to the pitchers and to his team mates. When a hot one comes his way Ramsey scoops them up and with a quick underhand peg speeds them to first. He is there when it comes to pulling off double plays. At short are several promising youngsters. Hilty is a snappy little ball player who plays the game to win. He distinguished himself by his excellent playing. Sutter plays a fast, snappy game and rarely, if ever, does a ball pass him. He is great at knocking down a sure hit and turning it into an assist. Herb. Luginbuhl was another able man at the position and could take the otherls place at any stage of the game. At third is Niswander, another veteran. He is a feared member of the wrecking crew and a fast man on the paths. When it comes to pilfering sacks, Reuel is at home. When a timely bingle is needed he can be trusted to come across. Bowers relieved Reuel when not on duty as did Hilty when not playing short or Held. All these men play nobly in their turns. f-,.- -r - -fvr --M-.M ..-. -Ta - . .., . ., ...Yi ..... -..X ,Y-. ,, . .

These fly chasers were on duty and rarely did they refuse to take anything that came their Way. Ollie is the veteran of the out field and with his eagle eye scans the heavens for prey. A ball coming in his direction found itself lodged in his outstretched hands. Ollie has a good peg to the infield and the keen judgment necessary for sending it to the right place. Waldo Roth broke into the great American game this year and carried himself like a big' leaguer. He pulls the hot ones out of the air or drives mean ones through short with the same determined grin on his countenance. In the left garden several aspire to honors. Roy Hilty, Homer Sutter and Fred Amstutz' are contestants for that sunny side. They are sentinels of the better type and give their best efforts to aid the team. A ball landing in their territory can be marked as a putout.

With Russell Bixel on deck again a large part of the breach was closed as he is a veritable tennis team in himself. He has any number of strokes at his command and uses them very effectively. His service is a wicked one of the American type. Lyle Strubhar was selected to be a teammate of Russ and held the job to the best of his ability which means something. His tall frame makes him a valued man at the net as he is able to stop all that comes his way. Harry Krehbiel and Sidney Stettler are the other two members of the squad. Krehbiel has a strong service and some good strokes. Stettler plays a consistent court game. When these men get warmed up they are dangerous and if there is any love in the game it is in the opposite side of the court. The team has been rather slow in getting started but when they hit their stride will Ngo some . Findlay proved the exception by copping both matches. Bowling Green and Toledo fell in line although the latter match was interfered with by rain and was not completed. One match with Heidelberg was stopped by rain. The dope looks good for the team to clean up the rest of the slate. Four more con- ference matches and a return match with Heidelberg remain to be played. The popularity of the game is due to the eiicient work of Robert Krehbiel, Mana- gei. The College courts were in good condition this year.

Aim-To earn the hiking B , The Hiking Club was organized to give those girls who did not play basket ball or tennis a chance to do some athletic work. One hundred miles must be covered in four, six and ten mile stretches. Letters were given to eighteen girls covering the one hundred miles. Clara Birky was elected the Hiking Club Manager. The rules were read and the girls were ready to start on their pilgrimage. I Almost every pleasant day found two or more girls on their way for a four, six or ten mile hike. Starting out in full swing they fairly fly the first five miles, but a little rain, a blister or two, or tired limbs bring them home still laughing at the distance but glad that they have accomplished something. Many of the girls benefited from these hikes by seeing the world in a new light, that of sunrise. Then refreshed by the invigorating exercise of early morning they were placed in the proper mood for attacking other work in the same determined manner that they cover ground. So the College itself has benefited from the work of this organiza- tion.

EAGLESMERE CONFERENCE Peace, beauty, quietness, a place away from the noise of cities, an ideal place for thought and meditationg this is Eaglesmere. A beautiful mountain top, with its mountain laurel, its rhododendron, its winding trails up and down the mountains amongst trees, rocks and fiowers, its cottages and inns, and above all its Lake of the Eagles, are those sublime contributions of God through nature to our much-loved Eaglesmere. The ten joyful days spent at Eaglesmere at the conference of Y. W. C. A. workers are a mixture of happiness, laughs, fun, meditation, appreciation, Bible study, worship, and careful thought at Eaglesmere, the great world leaders who have followed high ideals and aspirations, come to pass those ideals on to young girls. There also, true friendships are formed. There thoughtfulness comes to many girls, and a strong de- sire to live a life that will be noble and pure. Each morning was spent in discussion groups, joint devotional service, and an ad- dress by a great leader present. The afternoon was spent in recreation and sports of all kinds from rowing to baseball. The evenings were spent in addresses and programs. Perhaps the most loved and best phase at Eaglesmere is the feeling that through nature and natural beauty, we learn to know God better. Eaglesmere is a place that each girl should visit sometime during her college course. LAKE GENEVA CONFERENCE Over eight hundred delegates assembled once more at the annual Lake Geneva Y. M. C. A. convention to spend ten of the most wonderful days of their lives. From the first evening, as the first ship of delegates swung around Prospect Point to behold the beautiful broad expanse of azure waters of Lake Geneva, nestled in amongst a group of low wooded hills, until the day when the last parting farewell was signalled, as tl1e boat vanished in the distance, life seemed to be too full of good things to be true. It was Utopia. For natural beauty and harmonius color effects, Lake Geneva and its surrounding panorama of exquisite scenery is apparently unsurpassable. Amid such environments these delegates from nine states of the Union and from a score of nations from other corners of the earth met to consider and reHect on great world problems. Great religious leaders such as Bishop McDowell, Dad Elliott, John Timothy Stone, Sherwood Eddy, J. Stitt Wilson and many others gave stirring address- es on present day needs and the accompaning responsibilities resting on college students. Many a delegate left, at the end of those few days, fired with new inspirations and vis- ions and filled with higher ideals by the irresistible and powerful inHuence of those great speakers. One of the things which a delegate to this convention can never entirely forget is the Wholesome spiritual inHuence derived from those wonderful morning watch periods held on the hill. Different Bible and discussion groups met daily and discussed various phases of Christian work and social evangelism. Many a returned missionary delivered powerful addresses and aided students in the final decision for a life of service. Lead- ing men of various professions led the vocational life work meetings and pointed out important relations and also how to fit one's chosen vocations into the great program of Christian life. Bluffton College was represented by Sidney Hauenstein, Floyd Byers, Reuben Liechty, Harry Krehbiel, John Geiger, J ephthah Zuercher, Elmer Kennel, Edward Liech- ty, Milo Herr and Austin Lehmann.

DAD ELLIOTT Bluffton was very fortunate in having the great student evangelist, Mr. A. J. Elliott, here for a three-day campaign. Mr. Elliott is a student secretary of the Inter- national committee of the Y. M. C. A. for the Middle West territory. Dad came to Bluffton under the auspices of the Y , and delivered a series of seven lectures on Jan- uary 17, 18 and 19. A Mr. Elliott proved himself to be a man of untiring energy and strong personality. His appeal for positive Christian living and for the plus in people's lives, was put across in such a manner as to gain the consideration of every student. The attitude of the college student toward the vital questions determines the leadership of the world , he said. We are in college to increase our capacity for leadership of the World. We Want to give a greater and better leadership than the preceding generation or our Work is in vain. ' Throughout his lectures Dad showed the students the true Christian life. He pointed out that a man needs mind, body and spirit if he is to amount to anything, and he said, We should not forget while we are growing mentally and physically, to devel- op our spiritual power also. Does an audience of college students like a man like Dad to tell their student body that only four of them will ever amount to anything? Dad told them that and then proved it falmostj. He showed that one's moral integ- rity has a great deal to do with determining whether or not a person will be one of the four or no. The students of Bluffton have all resolved over and over that each one wants to be one of the four. In his last address, Dad gave a simple formula how one may come into a living friendship with a living Christ: 1. I must have a fair minded aititude toward the one I want as a friend. 2. I must have a harmonious association with the one I Want as a friend or a common interest. 3. I must acknowledge the one I want as a friend. 4. I must serve the one I want as a friend. 5. I must keep up the friendship. Thus one may have an everlasting friendship that will go on forever if a person will follow the formula and pay the price. ANNUAL BIBLE LECTURES Leaders in religious thought and work-men who have met with more than ordinary success as preachers and teachers-men who do not only have a grip on the Bible, but who know how to grip men in the intricacies of every-day life-men with a message from the Old Book for present day needs, are invited to deliver a series of annual Col- lege Bible Lectures. . I We were very fortunate in hearing this year, Professor George W. Richards, D. D., LL. D., President of the Theological Seminary of the Reformed church, Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Dr. Richards was thoroughly acquainted with his subjects and proved a very interesting and helpful lecturer. f His lectures for the afternoon series were: The Origin and Purpose of the Bible, The Origin and Meaning of Catholicismf' Luther and the Lutherans, f'Calvin and the Presbyteriansf' Menno Simon and the Mennonitesvg Wesley and the Methodists . This series of lectures showed Dr. Richards a thorough master of history. His interpreta- tion of the development of the early church was an inspiration to all who heard him. His evening series consisted of five lectures: God and How We Can Know Him , The New Age-What is it?g The Social Gospel--Can Nations be Christian?g Is Church Union Possible? g Can we Still be Evangelical? No other force contributed more toward the inspiration of the young people of the college and community during the year than Dr. Richards. We owe a deep debt of gratitude to Dr. Richards for his contribution to the spiritual and cultural life of each one who heard him. 1 i ' ' ni' ,W , 1 QWIQQW Q V. , ' .L-W . . . ,-aHJ.T.e.s.......--H . . ....,.ae-.ac ......... -K1 ..:::...-...,.,..,... .,. .........,.... .... -..M . . ...sw -.-......... ,..,..-.....

It surely seemed so on the nights of November eighteenth and nineteenth when the Junior class presented Booth Tarking- ton's modern play, The Man from Homew. Under the very excellent direction and management of Miss Boehr and Professor Elmer Ende this play gained its place as one of the best both artistically and financially in the history of Bluffton College drama. The play has its setting in Sorrento in Italy. It centers about a breezy individual one Daniel Voorhees Pike who has come all the way from Kokomo, Indiana to look after his ward Ethel Granger-Simpson. Ethel however rather resents the interference of Pike since she and her brother Horace are, in turn, looking after some of the fine flowers of Europe . But even the Honorable'Almeric St. Aubyn, the particular fine Bower in question, seems to be more interested in bull terrier pups and bally bandit than in protecting the historic name of St. Aubyn. ' Then there are the Comtesse de Champigny, Milor Hawcastle, and Miladi Creech, the remainder of the fine flower , who are all on the track of John Simpson's money. Lyle Strubhar as Pike, was without question the hit of the play. He portrayed per- fectly the slow and easy going Hoosier who cared so very little about the nobility of Europe and so much about John Simpson's daughter Ethel. The skillful interpretation given this character by Strubhar marked him an artist in this line and did much to make The Man from Home the success that it was. The role of the charming, though somewhat willful heroine, Ethel, was well played by Edna Iutzi. Through her grace and ease of manner she portrayed the American, Ethel Granger-Simpson, in a degree above the amateur. Magdalene Baumgartner gave a splendid interpretation of the Comtesse de Cham- pigny, the difficulty of which she skillfully concealed. The part of the haughty Lady Creech with her eternal Don't mumble your words , which is not an easy one, was Well played by Edna Hanley. Robert Krehbiel, or the Grand Duke Vasili Vasilivitch, better remembered as Doc , was without doubt the man for the part. Tesla Stearns as the Earl of Hawcastle and Reuel Niswander as the Honorable Almeric St. Albyn did excellent work as Upseudi- peers . Austin Lehmann took the part of the all-too-trusting Horace Granger-Simpson in splendid form. Amos Badertscher played the dificult role of Ivanoff, the Russian brigand, exceptionally well. Some of the very best acting was done by Harry Ramseyer as Mariano the Maitre d' Hotel, who saw many things. Then there were Michele, Ribiere, and the carabiniere played by Leonard Welty, Luther Sommers ,Thomas Fenton and Sidney Stettler, among whom was found some more dramatic ability worth mention. Miss Kettunen so willingly and ably gave invaluable assistance in arranging for the lighting eiects and the scenery. This with the music and other little details helped to make the play such a success. i 2 l N I 1 X 1 S 4 W u , Juli l . 'nn ! 5 l v 1 as E , .- 'Q i' 1 2 2 3 l L., 1 Sf?

The Y organizations of the college take this opportunity of welcoming new students, and of giving faculty and new and old students an occasion for becoming ac- quainted with each other. It is one of the long remembered events of the year, especially for freshmen, and the one of September '21 was no exception. As one looks back to that evening, these things are brought to mind. First, it rained, and several young escorts were much worried for a time as to how, in a non- taxi town, they would convey those dainty shod Ropp Hallites across the Riley to College Hall. Evidently those problems were solved, because no one was conspicious by his absence. Then there were the welcoming speeches by the presidents of the organiza- tions, and by Dr. Mosimang a selection by the Girls' Glee Clubg an exhibition of scien- tific laughing with piano accompaniment by Dadl' and Sam, a lengthy exposition of sound fatherly advice to freshmen by K. K., a speech by Prof. Pannabecker, which con- cluded the program. Then followed the search for the right partner with whom to enjoy the refresh- ments and for a time College Hall resembled a dove cote much more than an institution of learning. But by this time it had stopped raining and everyone left feeling that it was good to be at Bluffton College. Y. W. HIKE Besides the more or less formal reception, each September brings with it a rollick- ing time in the guise of the Y.W. hike. One sunny Thursday afternoon, the girls and faculty women of the college, clad in middies and sport skirts, gathered in front of Ropp Hall, and about four o'clock, armed with kodaks and good spirits, started the hike to Fox hill in Eaton's woods. In a few minutes for so it seemedj halloos were heard through the woods ahead, which meant that the first ones had reached the haunt. Soon two big fires were blazing, and there was a scramble to secure sticks , Then for a little while the girls were comparatively quiet, and the aroma of roasting wieners and strong coffee was much in evidence. When each ravenous appetite had been satisfied, the girls sat in a contented circle about the dying fire, relating experiences of former Y. W. hikes, and singing Col- lege songs. Finally, as a big moon came up over the trees, the girls gathered the baskets, put out the fires, and started homeward, voting the hike a big success. Y. M. STAG Ask some freshman what a stag is, and he will tell you it is one of those affairs the Y puts on, where there aren't any girls, and the fellows have a real time. Such was the case at the Y Stag last fall. The affair was staged on the banks of Llittle Riley, one Wednesday, a couple of hours after sunset. It began with a hearty handshake for everyone, then followed num- erous fistic encounters with the mits en barrel,'7 and a milk gurgling contest that was a sure knock-out. When a handsome prize had been awarded the winner of the latter, the fellows gathered around the bonfire to listen to a number of talks by Coach Berky, various team captains, President Mosiman, and President Hartzler. After this part of the evening was over, the fellows lined up for hot dogv sand- wiches and baked beans, and for one solid hour they crowded about a seemingly un- ceasing fountain of apple juice. Finally Dad's boys got happy and sang several songs, and then the fellows all left with the memory of a very pleasant evening. .. . - .Y - .......,., -..,.. . ,YW . ,W .

Parkes Cadman, world famous Brooklyn preacher, opened the annual Music and Lecture course, with a lecture on The Mission of the Republic. The appeal in his lecture was directed toward uniting the Church in the cause of humanity. He clearly showed to his audience the necessity of uniting the Protestant churches in order to fight Mohammedanism and other heathen religions. That our country needs more leaders, and that our young people need to study the Bible, were some points brought out in his lecture. The second number on the course on October 18, brought to Bluffton ,the prince of American Opera singers, Riccardo Martin. His dramatic power and virility thrilled his audience in the tenor airs from Pagliacci , Rigoletto , Marion Le-scant , and Tosca'l. His lyrics, especially those in French and Italian were sung in a remarkably pleasing manner. Montraville Wood, noted inventor and electrical genius, gave a lecture entertainment on the evening of November 15. Mr. Wood explained simply, yet most entertainingly, the most intricate scientific propositions. His various inventions were demonstrated in an extremely fascinating way. That Mr. Wood is very popular with Bluffton people, is shown by the fact that this was his second appearance here. On the evening of November 23rd, the Bluffton College Orchestra, under the di- rection of Prof. Hauenstein, delighted a large audience with a splendid program. From the opening strains of Barnard's Adoration to the closing encore, every number show- ed careful preparation and was enthusiastically received. Several vocal numbers sung by Prof. Lehman added much to the charm of the program. The twelfth rendition of the Messiah,' was given by the College Choral society on the evening of December 11. This oratorio has become so popular and is so much ap- preciated by the people of Bluffton and community, that the gymnasium was used as 11 concert hall, and was well filled, in spite of the inclement weather. Prof. Lehman, as director, Mrs. Mann, as accompanist, able soloists, and the Bluffton College Orchestra all helped in making this rendition a great success. Maurice Dumesnil, on February 14th, appeared in an evening of piano playing such as will long be remembered by Music-Lecture course patrons. In his reading and marvelous skill in playing Beethoven's Appassionata , the player made clear his title as a master pianist. He especially excelled in his playing of Chopin. Part of his program was given over to impressionalistic composers as Debussy, Ornstein, and others. An artistic interpretation of Liszt's Twelfth Rhapsody closed his program. On March 9th, the Orpheus Male Quartette entertained the Bluffton audience with a varied program of ballads and part songs. Altho their singing was somewhat slug- gish, their blending and shading afforded much pleasure. Mr. Adams showed his ability as a clever minstrel, providing much fun for his audience. The solos given by the different members of the quartette were also much appreciated. On the evening of Palm Sunday, the Choral society, aided by the College orchestra gave a beautiful rendition of Rossini's Stabat Mater . That Bluffton people really ap- preciate music of this class, was shown by the crowded gymnasium, which was filled long before the concert began. With the assistance of very competent soloists, this concert proved a great success, and was a fitting culmination to the year's Music- Lecture Course. . , . V. .. ..

I One Hundred Thirtyeseven STUDENT VOLUNTEER CONFERENCE A missionary, in Korea, was caused to marvel at the great humanity of the benighted heathen. One morning, the. missionary set out on foot, from his village, expecting to leach a certain other village that day. As he walked along with his pack pony, he came to crossroads. The missionary was not certain which way to take, but took the one which he thought was right. A native, living near there, saw what he harl done, immediately hailed him and started him on the right road. Many of the still darkened lands are at the dawn of a great, new day. They are awakening to realize their powers and possibilities. They, like the missionary, have started out from their old city, enroute to another. Will there be someone at the crossroads to direct them in the right way? Someone must do it, and that must be done now-even in this generation. There is a great need of watchmen, well trained, to man the crossroads to which the vast tide of oriental civilization is moving. More than four hundred college students, representing the Northern Ohio Student Volunteer Union, heard messages and stirring appeals of this kind for nearlv three days, at the Annual Student Volunteer Conference of Northern Ohio, held at Mount Union College, Alliance, Ohio. The conference was held on March 10, 11 and 12, 1922. Such speakers as: John Elder, Dr. Isaac T. Headland, Dr. C. S. Keen, Miss Dorothy Holliday, Dr. Edward Dodd and others, delivered both instructive and inspirational messages, messages which made the hearers wonder at the vastness of the field, the greatness of the opportunity and the power of the speaker. The days at Mt. Union will long remain fresh in the minds of Bluffton College Student Volunteers. CABINET COUNCIL Cabinet members from the Young Women's Christian Associations of Defiance, Heidelberg, Ohio Northern and Bluffton journeyed to Findlay as the guests of the Findlay Cabinet last October. The delegates were fortunate in having at that Council two Held secretaries, Miss Klenk and Miss Halsey. Miss Annabel Clark of Ohio Wesleyan, undergraduate Field Representative of our district and Miss Helen Barnes, National Y. W. C. A. sezretary, added much to the effectiveness of the council. The opening session was led by Miss Klenk. The afternoon was taken up by a joint session under Miss Halsey, after which each group of officers or committee chairmen held a forum and discussed problems of their particular work. Following this, all present were divided into groups of ten for a Bible discussion hour. The Findlay Cabinet girls proved very delightful hostesses. For the evening they pleased their visitors with a jolly informal party. After two days of helpful and enjoyable experiences together, the delegations parted hoping to meet again next autumn at Heidelberg. , . , A, . 5 One Hundred Thirty-eight Ya Qorvrb One Hundrnd Thirty-nine SUCCESS AT THE WASHINGTON CONFERENCE An editorial published in the NVitmarsum of December 10, 1921, which received honorable mention in an editorial contest of college papers, held under the auspices of the National Conference for Limitations of Armaments. A little more than three years ago the greatest war in all history ended. Millions of men, the fiower of the human race, sacrificed their lives. Millions more today are cripples, invalids and living testimonies of the hell through which they passed. All Europe today is torn and bleeding. Bankrupt, starving and seething with political tur- moil, many European countries today are in the jungle darkness, having lost all the precious heritage of centuries of civilization. What principle was so great, what cause so noble as to call forth this supreme sacrifice from the whole world? To save dem- ocracy , was the ideal for which nations gave all their resources, for which men gave the greatest gift of all-their lives. Was it for the present conditions of starvation and turmoil that the best manhood of the world and the resources of future generations were sacrificed? The world has paid the price-the highest price in all history-for what she thought was democracy, but she was swindled. The Old Guard of Europe, guided by old time diplomacy and fill- ed with the same old cynical attitude towards civilization, led the world back into the wilderness from which it had just emerged, covered with the red blood of millions. Failure in large, bold letters will be written across the history of the past three years by future generations. Today the world turns to America. The United States is to lead the way out of the wilderness. Just what can the Arms Limitation Conference do that will be consid- ered as a step towards the accomplishment of this great purpose? If the Washington Conference can change international diplomacy from jealous and selfish bickering to one of unselfish vision for the futureg from hatred and suspicion of each other to one of sympathy and understanding, if it can help to remove national hate instead of stimula- ting it and finally and primarily if it can convert the old world's diplomacy to under- standing and reasoning from materialistic national ideals and suspicions it will fulfil its mission to the world. It must remove the spirit of the God of Mars from inter- national and national life and substitute the spirit of Christianity. In order to carry out this higher international spirit the conference must begin with the specific issues at stake. In the first place there must be a radical reduction of arm- ament on land and sea. This will effectively lighten the appalling burden which is crushing the people of the world, especially in Europe. Secondly, the national integrity of China must be respected. There must be no more exploitation of a helpless nation for the interest of rich and powerful governments. A sane and sound policy in regards to the integrity of China will eliminate the possibility of future wars in -the Far East. Finally, the Washington conference can initiate a plan of world cooperation which will bring about regular meetings of the great powers in the future for the frank dis- cussion of international problems. Our civilization is at the judgment bar. Shall it continue to exhaust the entire world with its increasingly destructive wars ? Shall it use the mighty advance in science for destructive purposes? Or rather shall it be used to bind up the wounds of bleeding humanity and build up a shattered world? All our scientific knowledge must be used to conduce peace, not war, and thus further the happiness of the human race. The peoples of the world are looking to the Washington Conference for the answer.
