In a work of this kind, much responsibility neces- sarily devolves upon the faculty advisor, who must at once be teacher, leader, a n d fellow-worker. I n dedicating this book to Dr. Florence Jane Williamson, the staH' is expressing the appreciation of the entire student body. It is a fitting tribute to her tireless energy, ,helpful encourage- ment, and inspiring person- ality. Q13. FLORENCE JANE WILLIAMSON ' 'ffl -1.. f .- fy fi M-f J af' ' h II.

In the twenty years our institution has striven for inward strength and outward recognition, its growth has been charac- terized by an ever widening circle of influence. Let us hope that Bowling Green State College shall always succeed in embodying the same truth in all its under- takings. Like the falcon, which, no matter how far it may range from the aerie, always returns unerringly, the college, in its growth, must always be cogniz- ant of its original principles and ideals. f .

It is for this worthy purpose that the 1930 Key Staff has striven to preserve for you the important incidents and achievements of this college year, and for their generous efforts, we are all sincerely grateful. i Very truly yours, K DEAN OF COLLEGE OF EDUCATION.

Some with hearts beating high with hope, and others with tear- dimmed eyes, but all having the same lofty purposes and goals, they entered upon the long voyage which would take them to a new life in a different land. To many it was a long, heart-breaking voyage, while to others it was a whirl of excitement and gaiety, but all met their first Waterloo at Ellis Island. Here these poor, bewildered and confused immigrants had to struggle through a series of tests before entering the chosen land -Bowling Green State College. Whn finally admitted they found it even more difiicult to adjust themselves to a new life, alone and strange as they were, and some dropped by the wayside. Those who remained were easily identified, not only by their peculiar actions. but by their vivid green armbands and caps, as well as by the public demonstra- tion of their vocal ability. However, they did not long remain the objects of ridicule. Soon they commanded the respect and attention of all the residents of the chosen land by their overwhelming victory in the annual Freshman-Sopho- more bag rush. With the help and guidance of a few noble souls, the faculty, they continued and took the next important step in their new experience-their first naturalization papers. What high purposes and aims these immigrants had! But even the vision of the goal itself could not help some few who now dropped out. Again the remaining group adjusted itself, and what progress its members have made! Already they had become familiar with the physical environment of this new land, to say nothing of the social life which they had found opening to them. Still they failed to realize the full significance of the opportunity for intellec- tual development. As these Sophomores grew in understanding and appreciation of the aims, purposes, and ideals of their new land, they also came to realize the need of taking out their second set of papers. By this time these once strange people found that they had a number of things in common-their joys and pleasures. as well as their interests and ambitions. Many had become members of various select groups and organiza- tions, such as the literary clubs, sororities, fraternities, and the like, but all had become interested in their new land and were taking advantage of the oppor- tunity for intellectual development. Now the Juniors could clearly see their goal before them, but before reaching it there was one thing yet to achieve- the last naturalization papers. After many heard-rending struggles, worries, and wonderings if they would make the grade , this select group of immigrants, which is now the dignified Seniors, was held together by common experiences, aims, and memories. There are two outstanding events in the life of every Senior, which carry with them fond memories and vivid recollections, and must be included in a complete class history. The events referred to are the Junior-Senior Formal, which represents the pinnacle of social success in college life, and practice teaching, the experi- mental laboratory of educational theories. Triumphantly the Seniors approach their goal. At last the goal is reached! On the memorable day of June IZ. 1930, this select and persevering group receives its final reward, in the form of a degree of Bachelor of Science in Education, as a recognition of its growth in the new land. Again this group begins another voyage-the Voyage of Life .

A group of persons working and playing together, sharing experiences of all types, grow constantly in understanding and wisdom. The impact of mind on mind, heart with heart, makes for the art of living. Less than two years ago, we as Freshmen, assembled here in Bowling Green State College from the four corners of the state. Our condition of servitude was soon brought forcibly to our consciousness by our being ejected from the front doors of the Administration Building - the side door was the only fitting entrance for a Frosh . During the early weeks of our school life we paraded the campus with colors appropriate to the Emerald Isle. We were Freshmen only. A year soon passed and we no longer were lowly creatures at the foot of the educational ladder, but had become members of the distinguished graduating sophomore class. As members of this class we had an active part in the various organizations of college life. The class was organized early in the year, and officers were elected and assigned their respective duties. Since then the class has operated socially as one big happy family. Much work has been accomplished both as a class and individually. In its many social activities the class has found the keenest enjoy- ment. The most outstanding event in the social calendar was the Graduating Sophomore Prom, held in the Women's Gymnasium, November 23, 1929. The gymnasium, cleverly decorated in keeping with the season and gay with college colors, showed off the colorful gowns of the guests to splendid advantage. The members and their friends danced to the excellent music furnished by the Campus Serenaders . -Punch and wafers were served and the evening was spent in a very enjoyable manner. The life of a graduating sophomore has a full measure of both pleasure and work. The curriculum for the sophomore year necessitates much study and work. There is scarcely time for an idle moment in this preparation for the great field of teaching. The business of being an elementary teacher will bring us both responsibili- ties and joy. Graduation from Bowling Green State College merely marks the landmark in the progress toward the goal-perfection in teaching. The contacts made, experiences shared, facts learned, and theories tested during the sojourn within these college walls, will enable the members of this class to do a real service for mankind. Because of our splendid preparation we will be able to share with our students the happy wisdom which makes life the great adventure. Sixly .1 xl. Allen.

Fearing to incur the wrath of our elders, we closely observed and followed their example. But, like all yearlings, we were humbled before the dignified upper classmen who, of course, employed the traditions of the past in making us full-fledged Freshmen. With pride we may say that during this first year we had a great honor bestowed upon us, we were the first Freshmen class to have the privilege of using the wonderful new library. We were also the first Freshmen to enter the very modern physical-education building. Such are the advantages of attending an ever-growing college. We soon realized that the college gives opportunities, but the students must apply the best of their abilities to these Acres of Diamonds in order that the wishes of the students may be fulfilled, and the interests of the college advanced. So it was that we be gan to do our tasks in an earnest, intelligent way-looking forward expectantly to our Sophomore year. We entered our Sophomore year much more confidently than the preceding year. Though some of our former classmates failed to return, we were pleased to welcome new members to our ranks. Class members were making the best of the opportunities. Many students who had made promising beginnings during their Freshmen year continued to further the interests of themselves and their college in athletics, in debating, in dramatics, and in all social activities on the campus. Then, too, at this time we were let in on the little secret that every Sophomore should have a knowledge of all the rules of the college-and furthermore, should obey them. And. of course, we also took great pleasure in aiding in the initiation of the Freshmen. At the beginping of the present year we were glad to review old acquain- tances and to form many new friendships. A number are taking advantage of the opportunities offered in the Arts College. Again, we are proud to state that members of our Junior class are prominent in athletics, debating, and other activities. We have great ambitions, and we are looking forward to assuming the work and dignity of college seniors. We are fortunate, indeed, in having as our class advisor Mr. W. E. Singer.

Little did we know of the endurance and persistence that would be needed in order to finish this, the greatest event in our young lives. The promoter of this race. whom we have learned to rely upon at all times, is our Alma Mater, Bowling Green State College. T As Freshmen we finished the first lap of the course, probably in as good or better standing than any class which had preceded us. As in all great races a few had dropped from the ranks, either unconditioned or lacking the tenacity to finish. They have gone out and entered other fields of useful activity. But far overbalancing these who could not finish we have those who are forging ahead as leaders in the various activities of the college, In this great race, it is not all a tiresome struggle toward the goal. There is ever the pleasant shade of the trees of knowledge, and close by bubbles the spring of happiness and good fellowship where we may renew our strength for the race. The second lap of our great undertaking is now finished, with still added success and accomplishments. Many of our members have been elected to various offices which they filled with credit to themselves and the class. We are proud of those who represented us in the national debate contest at Wichita. Kansas. Our debate team not only won for us national recognition forensically but brought to our college an aciive chapter of Pi Kappa Delta, a national forensic fraternity. Not only did we have our leaders in debate, but they were to be found on the athletic field, in dramatics, music. social functions and general scholastic attainments. Probably the brightest social event of the year was the annual Sophomore Prom which was well attended and enjoyed. Having finished half our college career we can look ahead toward that goal which seems still more attainable than it did two years ago. We can see those whom we all respect for their courage and fine records, the Seniors, finishing the last lap of the race, Having reached the goal they will go out to a still greater event,'that of the race of life and there: ' Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait. -Longfellow.

Scwrrly-seven Freshman Class His tory URING the early part of September, 1929, the Freshman class came into Bowling Green State College. The omniscent ideas possessed by many of us were soon shattered into bits. We came from far and near, totaling four hundred and thirty members at the beginning of the first semester. The campus could be seen dotted with our conspicuous emblems, wished on us by our superiors. This large group was very well handled, and properly placed by the upper classmen. Our class was very well represented on the Varsity Bowling Green football squad. We feel very proud of the achievements made by these men. This was our first contribution to our Alma Mater, and it gave us a secure feeling of really belonging to college activities. We expect these men to represent our class and school even better in future years. The contest deciding the fate of those emblems forced on us by upper classmen ended in victory for us. We laid our caps away to look at in future years, and recall the pleasant times we had while wearing them. Our class was impressed with the clean sportsmanship shown by the Sophomores, even though they were fighting a losing battle. The Freshman Party, held Friday, November fifteenth, was another big event in the lives of all of us. The majority of our members were present, and every one had a wonderful time. Dancing was the main attraction, but we were also favored with a solo by Mr. Lusk. New acquaintances were formed, and the class was a much closer knit unit than before. The Varsity cage team was also made up of some of our boys, and we gave them our whole-hearted support during the season. Hopes are centered around some of them for our team in the coming years. Members of our class are finding places on the track and baseball teams. Both teams look very promising, and we feel sure that they will win their share of honorable victories. Freshmen are finding their way into the social life of the college. The sororities. fraternities, and other social organizations are being represented by this class. We are very proud of the opportunities offered us in social activities. We feel, though we were slow in getting started, we have done our small bit to aid the school. We are very glad to be a part of this vast educating machine, and we pledge our support in future years to our Alma Mater. There is no doubt that the heights of being upper classmen will be attained by many of us in the following years.

Hence, as our college increases in promin- ence, our organizations and athletic teams-and, indeed, our whole student body - must continue to prosper in attaining the avowed aims of training leaders and fol- lowers for social and civic life.

Siuclgni Hiqliliqlwll CAMPUS SCENES In all seasons of the year our campus presents beautiful vistas of stately trees and majestic buildings interspersed with broad expanses of level ground. Here you will find various portions of the campus in the temperamen- tal thaws of early spring. the warm greenness of early sum- mer, the dry barrenness of late autumn, and the cold splendor of mid-winter. It is scenes like these which the graduates of Bowling Green State College treasure as precious memories when they leave their beloved Alma Mater to begin the task of earning a living. I-IOMECOMING A Homecoming is here! Listen to the stirring music of the band as it proudly marches down Court Street and around the College Circle. Follow it out to the football field, where the side- lines are packed with eager spec- tators. Notice the intent look on their faces as Coach Landis raises his hand to fire the shot that begins our game with Bluff- ton College. There sits last year's football captain, thinking perhaps of the past gridiron prowess of the squad. Memories and anticipation mingle freely on this memorable occasion when Bowling Green State Col- lege welcomes back her former students' for a day filled with exciting events.

But here these are not simply menial house- wifely crafts: they are real arts which require the most careful study and practice. You may see the finishing touches being placed on a green afternoon frock, the serious consideration of a lesson in textiles, or the detailed preparation of a new kind of cake. There are also two glimpses of the commercial de- partment, whose rooms are in the Science Building. The stu- dents are at work on various types of adding machines. If you can see the clock, you will realize that their work begins early. Y 4 I V ' i pn., ag.. ,E rv -Wx. .5 . , 1- . '.

K SHOP- CHEMISTRY- LIBRARY Our college is quite proud of its Industrial Arts department, as it is one of the best equipped in the state. You see here, stu- dents at work in the wood-shop and pattern-making room: in another room some are at work with the band saw and the table saw, while in still another a stu- dent is operating the steel lathe. If you go to the bottom floor of the Science Building, you will find the fellows hard at work in the blacksmith's shop. Now go up two stories and you will find a wealth of apparatus. Then, if you should happen to pass through the Library Building later. you would find still other students engrossed in their books in the sanctorum-the reading room. ' I I QMJA ugh. MAY DAY- -SIGNING THE KEY Here we have a few more glimpses of campus incidents which occurred last spring. Be- hold our May ueen, clad in shimmering white, as she passes slowly along a flower-strewn path to her imperial throne erected on the edge of our Col- lege Circle. Behind her youth- ful train-bearers and the jesters in green and yellow come her group of attendants in colors as varied as those of the Maypole streamers. Below we find the students busily engaged in the annual occupation of Key-sign- ing. The 1929 Key has recently made its appearance, and every student is eager to carry away the signatures of as many of his friends as possible. SPRING GRADUATION 1929 The procession of blue gowns and black gowns passes over Court Street to Williams Hall, and from there through the ar- cade to the lVlen's Gymnasium. where the commencement exer- cises are to be held. At the end of the line come the professors. with splashes of color on their sombre robes to distinguish them from the long line of grad- uates ahead. Cameras click, while fond relatives and wistful undergraduates watch in mute admiration. The tall oaks look down proudly at this fifteenth group of foster children which Bowling Green College has sent forth. It is a perfect June day- a day suitable as a setting for college memories, C' FL M.'.. ',...- '- '.'.f'Jf ' 'E 4' 3f,r:ms ,'-i,ry4x-,n3iv'.v:'i- : .

No matter what the sea- son, you will Hnd them striding briskly along any of the roads in the vicinity of Bowling Green. Corn shocks. fences. bar- rels, and rocks all serve as tem- porary resting-places along the way. Not that the girls get tired--they only stop to have their pictures taken. These girls look as if they were quite capable of reaching the 125-mile mark set by the W. A. A. Ninvly Key Staff Dermer. Treece, Kreischer, Reed, George. Davis, Scott. Woodring, House.

HE keynote of Bowling Green State College is growth. In compiling this annual the Key Staff has endeavored to embody this ideal of growth on every page To produce a worth while year book is at once the most exacting task and highest privi- lege assumed by the Senior class. Many things go into the Key other than pictures and words. Although they may not be apparent there are in this volume days of toil and suspense, sleepless nights filled with anxiety, and miles walked bv weary students in search of advertising and material. Every member of the staff had his own piece of work to accomplish. The editor carried the responsibility for the whole book. He had to supervise everything from split infini- tives in write ups to the letting of contracts for printing and engraving. Editors of the various divisions, as athletics, organizations. and activities. were responsible for all the write ups of their sections. Only by each member of the Staff accepting his task and cheerfully discharging it can a year book be produced. A high ideal for the 1930 Key was set up in the spring of l929. Through the hard work and cooperation of every mem- ber of the staff this ideal has been attained. With graduation in June. a large propor- tion of the student body will cease to have an active part in the college life. But wilh the aid of the Key, closed doors may be reopened. old friendships renewed, and the whole glor- ious adventure of college relived. It is also the picture of our college life that is given to the outside world. New stu- dents will get their first glimpse of our Col- lege life through this annual. ln consideration of the vital place the Key holds in the life of our Alma Mater, no sacrihce or efforts seems too great to make it worthy of a place beside the Keys of past years. If the l930 Key fulfills its missions as a storehouse of memories and a worthy rep- resentative of our College, the staff will feel repaid for the time and energy spent in com- piling this annual. 'The Staff takes this opportunity to express its appreciation of the hearty cooperation of the faculty and student body. We thank you for your splendid attitude and help and hope you will not be too severe in your judgment of our efforts, Bee Gee News Boyer, Burkett, Johnson. Lugar. Miller. Price. Sheffer. Wilson. HIT Bee Gee News, the student campus publication. makes its regular appear- ance every three weeks. lt is of interest to the students as a summary of the daily news and high spots of campus life. Its dis- cussions concerning vital campus problems are always welcome and it serves as a medium for expression of the student's sentiment and reactions. The interesting cuts and pictures are valued by the students and the character of the publication makes filing away copies an easy matter. ln a good-sized folder the copies are laid carefully away and in later years forms a means of reliving college days and scenes on the campus. For every student passing on to the outside world. they are a connecting link with his academic life. They bring us happy remembrances of little every-day incidents and occurrences which would otherwise be for- gotten. As a means of setting arguments they cannot be excelled. The Bee Gee News has been successful in sponsoring a very necessary measure. By run- ning a series of articles and editorials in its issues it has been able to show the need of an open library in the evening. The students now are enjoying the line facilities of our new library until nine o'clock every evening. Their response is all that could be expected and.is easily measured by the long list of sig- natures every night. We hope we are as suc- cessful in all our constructive enterprises. Who knows. perhaps we shall be instrumental in establishing a men's dormitory. The staff wishes to take this opportunity to thank many unknown contributors for their interesting articles which have helped to make our publication a success. lt is our wish that we may have even more and wider contributions in the future.

HE Treble Clef Club, a glee club for women, has been one of the active musical organizations of the college for many years. It has re- cently been limited to students who are not music majors, the purpose of the organization being to give oppor- tunity for participation in some form of choral work to those who feel a love and enjoyment of music. For the last two years, under Miss Hall's enthusiastic direction, the students of the club have accomplished very much. It has become the custom for the group to sing carols in the commun- ity during the holiday season, and also to take an active part in the an- nual Christmas musical program. Contributions have also been made by the club to chapel programs dur- ing the year, but the most earnest efforts are always directed toward the annual spring concert which is pre- sented as one of the events of the commencement season.

One weekly rehearsal furnishes the only opportunity of preparing for these events so that enthusiastic cooperation and diligent work are necessary for all participating. The club is organized, with a president, a vice-president, a secretary- treasurer and a social chairman. It is the duty of the latter to take charge of the Snow Party which is the club's annual formal dance. The eager way in which all await this affair is typical of the spirit of the group.

The band makes approximately thirty appearances each year, on all occasions: games, pep meetings, parades, etc. In addition to this work, the band devotes time during the winter and spring to the preparation of standard band music for a spring concert. Our band this year, although not large, is the best balanced band in its history, and constant improvement is expected in future years. With the intro- duction this year of instrumental courses, it is expected that additional players will be prepared each year to take places as regular band members.

In instrumentation it adheres strictly to the recognized instruments of the symphony orchestra in so far as they are available. This year's concert included Beethoven's immortal Fifth Symphony, Tschai- kowsky's Marche Slave, by Berge. and smaller numbers.

The organization was so unwilling to disband at the close of school a year ago that it was decided to continue prac- ticing in a summer camp. The spot chosen was on a lake in the Adirondacks, near Mr. lVlcEwen's home. The many hours of individual and ensemble practice were relieved by swimming, hiking, climbing mountains, inspecting fire lookout towers and per- forming the usual duties of camp life. On one trip, under the direction of an expert guide, as many as twenty deer were seen. Several formal concerts were given, including one in Potsdam. Three in- formal programs were also given there. The appearances of the quartet this year have been limited to the opening program of the Woman's Club Series, the Hrst college program in the fall, the evening program of the Cleaners' State Convention, and to the June Concert by the College Music Department. Mr. Armstrong graduates this June, and this brings to a close the happy teamwork of these four performers.

Scenes from The Rivals Om' llnmlrwl C1719 Drama Class HE Drama Class under the direction of Miss Rea McCain had a very successful year. The enrollment in this department has grown each year, showing that more students are becoming interested. Early in the year. Once There Was a Princess was presented by a good cast. Mary Miller and Leonard Linsenmayer were the stars in this production. The Princess was charming in her beautiful and appropriate costumes. 'lAn Old Wives' Tale. an arrangement of an Elizabethan play written before the time of Shakespeare, was delightfully presented by another group. The music for this play was composed by Miss Ruth Wickham. The most recent production was The Millionaire, a modern comedy. In this Genevieve Story and Dean Burget. supported by a strong cast, brought much amusement to the audience. The ambition and enthusiasm of the class was exhibited in their splendid production of Sheridan's play The Rivals . Miss Corinne Burkett delighted her audience with her portrayal of Mrs. Malaprop. Other members of the cast handled their parts in a splendid manner and the play was much enjoyed by the audience. . With the presentation of The Rivals came the problem of costuming the cast in keeping with the period of the play. which was the middle of the eighteenth century. As no stage furnishings were used, the beauty and the setting of the play depended upon the costumes. This designing of costumes was done by Esther Crecelius and Helen I-lays. A careful study of the styles of the period was made. Studios were visited, books on period dress were perused, and imported plates of the costumes of the time were secured from the clothing department of the college. From various patterns and costumes secured from the studios, patterns were drafted for the cloaks, hats. muffs, and dresses of the ladies, and for the suits, hats, andboots for the men. I Under the supervision of the designers a number of the members of the class cut the leather and delicately hued velvets and silks from which elaborate cos- tumes were fashioned within two weeks' time. So beautifully done were these costums that the spectators would scarcely believe they were done by amateur designers. Other worthwhile projects have been executed with equal success and the members feel that the year's work has not only been interesting but profitable as well. Om' I 'I ll ml rml O nr Qpubfic Speaking DeVerna, Linsenmayer, Tripp. i OWLING GREEN STATE COLLEGE was represented for the third year, in 1930, in the State Women's Oratorical. by Miss Helen M. DeVerna, Class of '32. Colleges represented were: Bluffton. Ohio Wesleyan, Wittenberg, Western Reserve. Bowling Green, Heidelberg and Capital Uni- versity. First place went to Rebecca Wirich. of Wittenberg College, and second to Miss DeVerna, there being only one point between them. A line future in forensics is open to Miss DeVerna, who was the winner of the Northwest Ohio High School oratorical in 1929. Bowling Green looks forward to her as a winner in Pi Kappa Delta two years hence. In addition to Miss DeVerna, Bowling Green was represented in Oratory and Extem- poraneous Speaking by Robert W. Tripp and Leonard R. Linsenmayer. These men have done commendable work in this field during the past year. Mr. Tripp was the Bowling Green repre- sentative in the Extemporaneous Speaking Contest at the National Pi Kappa Delta Con- vention at Wichita. Kansas. The general subject of the speeches in the contests was College Athletics . All of the sixty-six men who entered spoke in three rounds of the tournament. On the basis of the records in thesse contests, eight men were chosen to participate in the finals. In the first three rounds, Mr. Tripp spoke on the following subjects: The Alumnae and College Ath- letics . Is the Side Show of Athletics De- tracting from the Main Performance of Education? and The Effects of College Athletics Upon After Life. Mr. Tripp won his way with these three speeches to the finals. in which he spoke on The Press and College Athletics. He did not win, but his very presence in the final contest was sufficient to give Bowling Green national forensic rec- ognition. Mr. Tripp represented the college in the National Oratorical Contest on the Constitu- tion. This was the second year of partici- pation in this contest. Mr. Linsenmayer represented Bowling Green in the Men's Oratorical Contests at the Pi Kappa Delta Tournament. His oration, The Menace of the Machine Age. dealt with the pressing problems of our modern complex civilization. Mr. Linsenmayer did not reach the finals in Oratory, but he per- formed in a creditable fashion. On April 25. the colleges of the northern part of Ohio competed at Bowling Green in the State Peace Oratorical Contest: the two outstanding orators then entered the State Finals of the annual Contes. Mr. Lin- senmayer represented Bowling Green at that time. Um' Il nnln-fl Two In tercollegzkzte Debate Campbell, George. Housley, Linsenmayer. Moran, Tripp, Woodring, Carmichael. NTERCOLLEGIATE debating was begun in Bowling Green in 1919, and since then has steadily grown to importance until it has become a major activity. With the advent of a chapter of Pi Kappa Delta for Bowling Green College. a new phase of debate and oratory will be begun. This means that the standards will be raised until they equal or surpass those of the majority of colleges in the national organization. Com- petition for places on teams has been keen during the past year. and will be much more so in the future, for only the best will be good enough to represent our institution. A roster of colleges debated this year, with- out considering those met in Wichita. included the following: Detroit University. Detroit City College, Michigan State College, Miami University. Case School of Applied Science, Greenville College, Waynesburg and North Manchester. These colleges are among the foremost in debate and offered the strongest of competition. Among the men who engaged in this type of forensics this year were: Robert W. Tripp, Howard George, Leonard R. Linsen- mayer, Paul Woodring, Joseph Moran. Earl Campbell. Charles Housley and Wilson Eg- bert. Only Woodring and Housley graduate. so the prospects for another year are good. In all, twenty-eight debates were held. the greatest number in the history of the institu- tion. Of these fifteen resulted in victories. one was tied, six were defeats, and six no- decision. Many of the teams met in the West were among the strongest in the country, so this record is one of which we may well be proud. and one which must serve as a stand- ard of achievement. Next year, Bowling Green will be represented in the Provincial tournament of Pi Kappa Delta in debate, ora- tory and extempore speaking for both men and women. The next forward step will be the development of the women's participation in forensics to a point equal with that of men. In the national association men com- pete with men, and women with women. It is hoped that with the development of a department of speech. Bowling Green will be among the leading institutions of the country in the field of speech education. One H Il ml real Tbrer- The Wz'chz'ta Trip T was on the morning of Sunday, March 23, that Professor Carmichael, accompanied by his five oral artists, Howard George, Robert Tripp, Leonard Lansenmayer, Earl Campbell, and Paul Woodring, started on the most ambi- tious enterprise ever undertaken by a Bowling Green delegation-a debate tour of six states with the national Pi Kappa Delta convention at Wichita, Kansas. as a grand climax. The first stop was at North Manchester, Indiana, where Tripp, George, Campbell and Woodring upheld the negative of the disarmament debate. After several of the boys had found solace for an adverse decision in the company of fair Manchester co-eds, the trip across Indiana and Illinois was resumed. Mon- mouth was met in two no-decision debates, while Carthage College and Lom- bard College were decisively subdued. On Wednesday afternoon the party divided and started south. Severe snow- storms had made the roads nearly impassable, however, and it was late Wednes- day when the two parties reached their respective destinations of Alton and Lebanon. At Alton Campbell and Linsenmayer lost an audience decision to Shurtleff College, while the debate with McKendree at Lebanon was cancelled. Invading Missouri, the Bowling Green delegation met Westminster at Fulton in a no-decision affair, and later won a judge decision from Central College of Fayette. Friday evening saw the teams in Liberty, Missouri, where Tripp and George debated the William Jewel affirmative without decision. On Saturday evening the entire squad arrived at Wichita, where the con- tests began on the following Monday, April l, with Tripp and George repre- senting Bowling Green in the debate tournament. The first team met by the Bowling Green men was that of North Central. Illinois. This was a terrific battle again one of the strongest teams at the con- vention. In the afternoon our men met the brilliant Baylor University team of Texas and then Nebraska Wesleyan. Tuesday morning Tripp and George were pitted against Ottawa University and in the afternoon against Kalamazoo of Michigan. When the decisions were announced Tuesday night, only twenty-eight of the original ninety teams still survived, but Bowling Green was one of the twenty-eight, having lost only to Nebraska Wesleyan. Wednesday morning our team met and defeated Howard-Payne of Texas in a fierce battle, and in the afternoon they eliminated Illinois Wesleyan. Only ten teams were left: nine well-known veterans, and a dark horse-Bowling Green. Teams from Southern California to Colby, Maine, asked each other concerning this unknown team which was eliminating former champions, a team without even a charter in the fraternity, which was threatening the best that the nation had to offer. It was Bethany of Kansas that Hnally eliminated Bowling Green in the semi-finals, in a debate so close that even the judges could not agree. Bethany later lost to Gustavus-Adolphus, the nation's champions, in the finals. Not only in debate did Bowling Green excel. In the extemporaneous con- test Robert Tripp was one of the eight to survive the preliminary contests and go to the Hnals. Leonard Linsenmayer also did well in the oratorical contest, but was eliminated at the close of the third round. The success of our team in this convention has given our college national recognition. There were six hundred delegates at the convention, and none will soon forget the name of Bowling Green. We were also given oflicial recognition when the Pi Kappa Delta Fraternity voted Bowling Green a Charter by unani- mous consent of the Council and the Assembly. Much of the credit for the great success of our college in forensics must go to Professor Carmichael, who has made debating what it is in Bowling Green. His record speaks for itself. During the nine years in which he has had charge of public speaking, his teams have won over eighty-five percent of all contests entered. During these same years our institution has risen from obscurity to national prominence in forensics. GQ O CI q'3ook and Motor Carmichael, Davis, Dermer, Dicke. Dindot. Eckel. George, H..

The purpose of this organization is to foster interest in educational pursuits, Members of the society must main- tain a high scholastic standard as well as an interest in extra-curricular ac- tivities. Students who measure up to these qualifications and who have been in attendance at the college for one continuous year are eligible for membership. Twice each year the or- ganization elects new members. Book and Motor owes much of its strength and importance to the fac- ulty who, on account of the extra- ordinary service they render to the college, have been chosen as members. The insignia of Book and Motor is a gold key consisting of the new college monogram surmounted by a book and motor. In the emblematical significance of this badge may be read the fundamental principles underly- ing education: the open book repre- sents knowledge alone or pure science. literature and the like, while the motor symbolizes industry or prog- ress in the concrete application of knowledge to living.

Book and Motor, one of the first professional organizations on the campus, was founded in 1914 by a group of students and faculty who were anxious to rank scholarship first and foremost in the college life at Bowling Green. Among these charter members were Dr. H. B. Williams, Robert J. Overman, Rea McCain and Ernest G. I-lesser. The society, at present, has several representatives in the other honorary fraternities of the college, Phi Sigma Mu and Pi Kappa Delta. Book and Motor has two meetings each year to formally receive the new members, the first in the fall, and the second in the spring. The second meting is a formal dinner, usually held at the Women's Club. At this banquet the society always has an outside speaker of note to bring a worth while message. -This meeting is important, too, because a large number of alumni return to their Alma Mater to enjoy the fellowship and to derive inspiration from the association together. This year the banquet is to be held on May tenth. There is now available for all new candidates, active members, and alumni a certificate of membership. This, together with the college annuals, will bring back memories of pleasant times in Bowling Green. OFFICERS President .......... Kathryn Sams Vice-President ..,.

Among the speakers of the year were Judge Bist- line, Mayor Bachman, Professor Powell, Professor Reebs, Dr. Kohl. Dr. Gleason, and Professor Carmi- chael. These men quite ably discussed various problems of the modern day. The Book Exchange was a new feature introduced by this year's Y. It offered used books for sale to the students. which involved considerable saving on the part of book purchasers. Our local Y. was represented at the State Convention of College Y. M. C.

O a student of Home Economics. the most cherished memories of college life are those happy hours spent in the activity of the Home Economics Club. This club is approaching its ninth anniversary and is one of the most active' as well as beneficial on the campus. At the first meeting of the year all new members are initiated. During the past school year the first annual banquet for new members was held at the Woman's Club. One need attend only one of the meetings to learn the splendid aims and purposes of this organization. In the variety of programs given, in subjects considered. the club strives to make real and worthwhile those facts and accomplishments which make the business of living--a real art. The programs are inter- esting talks and illustrated lectures on sub- jects close to the heart of any girl. The Valentine party at the February meet- ing proved a great success. Too. the Wed- ding of the Vegetables was a most amusing as well as profitable hour to the members. Interspersed with all the fun were valuable suggestions for the home-maker, on the mat- ter of meal planning. In the spring the annual Home Economics party is held. This is an event always antici- pated with great pleasure by the members and their friends. as well as by the women of the faculty. While many good times are provided for members during the year, they do not think only of themselves. They welcome as many opportunities as can be found for unseltish service. At the December meeting toys were made and repaired. These afterward were distributed to the less fortunate children of the community. Special mention should be made of the ever present interest manifested by our fac- ulty advisors, Miss Laura Heston and Miss Helen W. Henderson. We are indeed grateful for their constant assistance. While we are, primarily members of our local club. yet we are also members of both the Ohio and American Home Economics Associations, which help to broaden our field of activities.

I have been won- dering how one could become a member of the organization. Q. T. Well. you no doubt knew that you had to be taking at least one commer- cial subject before you could get in. but recently a step in improvement has been taken. membership being placed on an hon- orary basis. No students can become members until they have been in school at least twelve weeks and after this time they may be declared eligible by the faculty advisors, and then voted upon by the organization. So you see you really have received an honor in being given an opportunity to become a member of it. N. M. But what is the purpose of this organization? Q. T. A very good one. It hopes to promote the interests of the members by training them in the art of public speaking and the conducting of an organization. We are also interested in promoting the welfare and growth of the commercial department in particular and the college in general. N. M. I-low often do you meet and when? Q. T. We meet every two weeks on the V-'ednesday of the odd numbered weeks in the semester. But we aren't all business: we also have our good times. having an oc- casional Wsocial gathering and the annual dance the climax for the annual state contest. N. M. What contest? Q. T. The annual short hand and typing ccntest that is held here every year. N. M. Oh. surely, and is that sponsored by the Quill-Type? Q. T. The Quill-Type has much to do with its success, especially in the way of enter- taining the contestants, and it is becoming a bigger affair every year. Don't you want to get in on that? N. M. I certainly do. Q. T. Well, come joint the Quill-Type and enjoy its benefits. I-low about coming Wednesday evening? N. M. I'l1 be there. OFFICERS President ...... , ............

The Bowling Green College League has sponsored a program of exansion during the past year and now has among its members. students, faculty women and town women. As its contribution to the college. the League arranged a chapel program. Mrs. Eva Ep- stein Shaw. a prominent attorney and League member of Toledo. was the speaker. She was later entertained with a luncheon at the Woman's Club, which was the outstanding social event of the League year. Among the speakers for the year was Mrs. Hanna, our representative in the state legisla- ture, who presented vital problems of interest to a large gathering. This talk was followed by an informal tea held in the Home Eco- nomics dining room. ' Another social event of the year was the celebration of the League of Women Voters' tenth birthday anniversary by a luncheon held at Fetzer's Grill. The League is governed by an Executive Board' consisting of officers and the chairmen of the standing committees. Members of the Board are: OFFICERS President ..........,.

Programs are arranged to provide the members in a general Way with material relat- ing to the teaching profession, placing em- phasis upon Kindergarten-Primary work. The girls enter into the spirit of the organization wholeheartedly, and make it an asset to them- selves as well as to others. The organization has been very much inspired by a talk given by Miss Esther Crecelius concerning her trip around the world. She stressed the school situations in the various countries which she had visited. We first started with her from Havana, Cuba, traveling to the Panama Canal, Los Angeles and San Francisco, California, Hawaiian Is- lands, Japan, China, Philippine Islands, Siam. Java, Singapore, India, Egypt, Greece, Italy, Morocco, France, Gibraltar, Spain. and back to America. Each country seemed to have its own particular peculiarities as to interpreting the best ways and means of educating its children. Miss Martin gave the group a very splendid talk on some of the customs of India. It helped us realize the advantages of American life over that of India, the child marriages there being especially tragic.

Miss Martin. our faculty advisor, taught the students and critic teachers in attendance a song entitled. A Frog He Would a-Woo- ing Go after which she conducted a toy orchestra. A very fine rendition of the piece Amaryllis was given. the sticks taking a very important part. A great deal of merri- ment was caused by playing the game Mu- sical Arm . Gifts were exchanged, and many surprises disclosed. The party closed by the serving of refreshments and dancing.

This organization is a self- governing association. of which each woman student is a member. It shows the faith of the faculty in the student body and it allows Bowling Green college women to develop initiative. It also fosters responsibility and a sense of duty. The Executive Board consists of oiiicers elec.ed by the student body. representatives of college organizations. and the house chairmen of the halls and of those homes in town where several girls reside. This board is the agent of the League and plans the year's pro- gram. The Executive Board not only takes care of disciplinary matters but also plans a pleas- ing social calendar. This year the calendar has been both varied and entertaining. The first event planned by the League was the Get Wise party given for the benefit of the Freshmen. This party has assumed a place among the traditions of our college. Let us hope that it may be continued! The Girls' Prom this year. assuming the form of a gypsy party, was very successful, Clever cosiumes were everywhere apparent and prizes were given for those judged the best. An annual event of the League is the Penny Fair . This year many nations graced the colorful fair. Spain was repre- sented by Spanish dancing. France by a style show. Japan by tea daintily served and Italy by bright colored paper hats dispensed to the crowd. The League sponsored the concert given by Madame Corinne Rider-Reed. The program closed with a tea given for the new officers. OFFICERS FOR 1929-1930 President ......,..... ESTHER HAYHURST Vice-President ............ MARIE MENZ Second Vice-President ....

Along with a new s'afT were initiated four new members. two from the new four-year sorority formed last fall, the Three Kay, and two from the new two-year sorority, Las Amigas. The Inter-Sorority Council is an organiza- tion, consisting of two representa1ives'from each sorority, which makes the rules that each sorority is required to follow. It is a gov- ernment body which aims to make the sorori- ties on our campus very worth while organi- za'ions. and societies of which Bowling Green State College can be proud.

The members of the committee are ap- pointed by Dr. Williams. It is composed of Mrs. Sharp. Dean of Women, who acts as chairman, three other faculty members, Miss Miles, Dr. Martin, Mr. Crowley, and four students. each student representing his class. The Seniors are represented by Ancel Eding- ton. the Juniors by Pauline Spitler, and the Sophomores by Isabel Gunn. The Freshman representative.

I-IE Skol Sorority was first organ- ized in December, 1923. Official consent and recognition was granted the society in September, 1924, and the Skol Sorority became an active campus organization. The charter members were Esther Russell, Jean Sherer, Iscah Bell Doll, Dorothy Bates, Esther March, F l o r e n c e Woods, Eleanor Shatzel-McGuire. Ruth Sweet, Ida Mae Switzer, Arlene Stannard, and Esther Brown. The ideals upon which the sorority was founded were high scholastic stand- ing, loyalty to the principles of our Alma Mater, and an earnest desire to do all in our power to make all of the college activities successful. These ideals, as set forth by our charter members, are upheld, not alone by the active members of the sorority, but are being carried on to a greater degree of perfection by our alumnae. In January, 1928, the Skol Alumnae Association was formed. This organization now has sixty-two members. Each year at the Homecoming sea- son an annual luncheon is held at the Woman's Club. The purpose of this annual luncheon is to bring together and acquaint the alumnae and the active members with the activities of the other group. The introduction of the new fall pledges at this meeting has become a traditional custom. Om Ilumlrrl Twr'nly Skol Sorority McCain. Miller. Morgan. Ogle, Pauken. Percy. Powers. Shocker, Wells. A second annual undertaking of the sorority is the Formal dance. given early in the spring. This is a most elaborate affair. The sorority excels in novel forms of entertain- ment. There have been many un- usual feature dances. Some of the most attractive have been the Skol Swagger Swing of four years ago. The Futurists of 1929, and The Rainbow, of this year. In 1929 a new idea was propa- gated in the form of a Sport Dance to which the entire student body was invited. It is the hope of the sorority to make this an annual affair. Miss Rea McCain, the faculty ad- visor, chosen by the charter members. has been a constant source of timely advice and encouragement. Much of the success of all the sorority activities is due to her interested and careful guidance. A toast to the future: May Skol ever continue to grow, and by that growth may she ever add to the fame and renown of her Alma Mater. OFFICERS Faculty Advisor. .Miss Rea McCain Vice-President .,....

In keeping with the program of expan- sion its members have striven to de- velop, as individuals and as a sorority. their best abilities for the furtherance of their Alma Mater. Definite steps have been taken to bring this Sorority up to the stand- ards of the national social organiza- tions. A history of the Sorority and its members is now in preparation. It will contain the history of the group as a whole and a brief resume of the college career and later achievements of every girl who has been a Five Sister. The Five Sister Love Song , Written in 1929 by Pauline Wenger Crawford and Ellen Stover is being copyrighted and published this year. Every Five Sister enters other ac- tivities. Under the leadership of Eleanor Davis the Sorority has had one of its best years. It has truly expanded its interests, through its members, to every campus activity. The Sorority is justly proud of the achievements of its members among whom are Kathryn Sams, President of Book and Motor, Treasurer of Woman's League: Mary Miller, Pres- ident of W. A. A., Athletic Editor of the Key: Geraldine Scott, President of League of Women Voters, Literary Editor of the Key, Vice-President of the Senior Class: Helen Oxley, Presi- dent of the Graduating Sophomores: Ellen Stover, Treasurer of Phi Sigma Mu: Eleanor Davis, Advertising Manager of the Key: and Marian McMahon, Associate Business Man- ager of the Key.

Five Sister social functions have been especially lovely this year. A de- lightful home-coming dinner was given at the Woman's Club. A gay red and white color scheme was used at the long tables, seating sixty active and alumni members. Christmas trees, holly, and mistletoe made the Club dining room an ideal scene for the Annual Christmas party, A The Five Sister Formal, on Febru- ary 22. climaxed activities for the year. Colonial decorations were used to transform the gym into a quaint trellised garden. Syd Friedlander and his orchestra provided unusually good music. Other Five Sister parties were the rush parties, pledge parties. and the annual mixer for all fraternities and sororities. This less formal but very enjoyable affair closed a most happy and progressive year for the Five Sisters. Five Sisters in 1930 have built a salid foundation for future expan- sion and leave. with confidence, their uncompleted task to the Sisters who follow.

OW dull it is to pause. to make an end. To rust unburnish'd. not to shine in use! Like the two-faced Janus. the Seven Sister Sorority looks in two directions: reminiscing it looks backward to the past and prophetic- ally gazes into the future. The Seven Sister Sorority, founded in 1922 by seven senior girls, is truly the oldest sorority on the campus. For four years the sorority remained in active to be rechartered in 1926. Since that time the sorority has steadily grown. so that at present it has an alumnae membership of forty-two and an active membership of twenty-five. Our aim in our work is embodied in the noble words of Oliver Wendell Holmes: Build thee more stately mansions. O my soul . . . Each new temple nobler than the last This year the sorority has chosen another advisor. Miss Lillian Tressel. to assist Miss Caroline Nielsen who has so splendidly guided us in the past. In order that Seven Sister spirit may be carried on after graduation. an alumnae asso- ciation has been organized this year. The Seven Sister Sorority feels that it has taken a forward step in regard to public initiation. Instead of requiring insignificant antics from the pledges during a week set aside for public initiation, the organization has decided to establish a Courtesy Week. Through the medium of this custom, the initiates of our sorority must take their vows and receive their badges with the reverence born of the dignity of a well-ordered prep- aration.

The future is important in that it embodies the best traditions of the past with the for- ward looking opportunities for growth. Progress is dependent upon aims and ideals. The aims of the Seven Sister Sorority are such as will produce growth. They are the encouragement of scholarship, the promotion of college spirit and ideals, the participation in college activities, and the encouragement of social activities among its members and in co-operation with others. By the last named aim we wish to emphasize that the Strongest bonds of a true democracy are friendship and neighborliness. Both friendship and neighbor- liness consist of deep, quiet, and lasting attachment founded upon respect and esteem and both are matters of growth. 'The pro- motion of scholarship and participation in college activities require that we grow, that we make the best of ourselves. In conclusion. the Seven Sister Sorority aims to help its members round out to the fullest extent their powers of head, of hand. and of heart, for in home life, in school life. and in business and professional life. we make the best of ourselves to the degree that we round out these powers of head. hand, and heart. - OFFICERS Facully Advisor. .MISS CAROLINE NIELSEN Faculty Advisor ..,.

GROUPof girls on the Bowling Green campus, wishing to know each other better, formed a club in the fall of 1928. Shortly afterward from this club a sorority was organized embodying the ideals and standards desired by the girls. Its pur- pose was the cementing of friendships already formed through continued happy association. The name Three Kay was given to this or- ganization symbolizing its secret ideals and a.ms. ' The colors chosen were emerald and white, indicative of growth and purity. To carry out the same thought, the sorority flower adopted was the carnation. The sorority pin consists of a shield in the form of a triangle surmounred by an owl's head. Miss Florence Baird has been the faculty supervisor of the organization for the past two years. During her absence the latter part of last year. Miss Geneva Stevenson became the acting bead. This year we added another supervisor, Miss Margaret Yocum. Three outstanding events of the year are lhe Annual Homecoming Dinner. the Three Kay Formal. and the Three Kay Picnic. The dance was held Saturday l2, l930. in the Women's The room was cleverly dec- carrying out an Under the Sea Green ceiling and walls represented weed hung from the ceiling. very strange fishes of all colors, and sponges and hidden under large rocks carried the scheme perfectly.

The novel idea of this sorority has been highly praised and complimented. At present there is an alumni membersh'n of twelve: Lola Albright. Gladys Howard. Frances Miller, Mildred Bachellor, Mildred Kuntz, Louise Beyer. Margaret Falkerich, Gladys Bresler. Audrey Lee, Gertrude Mur- dock. and Geneva Stevenson.

LECTION to the Gold Mask Club. honorary dramatic fraternity of the college. is based upon the ability shown by individuals during their study in the col- lege drama class. One of the outstanding features of Home- coming each year is the Gold Mask Play. This fall the club gave One of the Family. Nothing But the Truth was the mid- winter play and another comedy was given late in the spring. This year the club attempted the biggest thing it has yet done in bringing to Bowling Green Sir Phillip Ben Greet and his company of English actors. Twelfth Night was given in the afternoon and Hamlet in thc evening. The expense to the club in securing this famous group for the two performances was approximately 392.000, It was largely due to the support of interested alumni who are too far away to give active assistance in play producing that the venture was suc- cessful. Groups of alumni. their friends and students were present from Toledo. Findlay. Fostoria. Port Clinton, Napoleon. Swanton. McClure. Pemberville and various other towns nearby. Bowling Green was the only city lin this part of the state and also the smallest city that was visited by the Ben Greet players in their entire tour across the country. Considerable favorable comment for the local organization and the college resulted from their appearance here. Due to the sul:- cess of this first effort on the part of the Gold Mask Club to bring unusual talent to this city. the members are planning to bring similar organizations here each year.

It was organized early in the fall of 1929-30 under the direction of. Mrs. Nellie Shuler Welsh. the faculty ad- visor of the sorority. The main purpose of the sorority is to promote closer friendships among the two-year students. Although the sorority is primarily a social organization. the membership is determined by certain scholastic standards and a degree of participation in college activities. Las Amigas is trying to make scholarship and college spirit paramount. The motto of the sorority is esse, non videre. The colors are green and coral: the flower is the sweet pea. While Las Amigas is still quite young it is trying to do its best toward the improvement of campus life. All of the meetings this year have been very interesting. Several instruc- tive reports have been given at each meeting. A number of the girls in the sorority are very much interested in music and consequently they have formed a small orchestra. The girls derive much enjoyment from practicing, and afford real entertainment for their sorority sisters. Las Amigas did not give a formal party this season. However. now that it is really well started the sorority plans to give its dance soon. It is our hope that this organization may grow to be a strong one, and prove its value in the promotion of a true college spirit here. as well as elsewhere. OFFICERS President ...........

HI SIGMA MU, the National Honorary Public School Music Fraternity is com- posed of students and faculty of Public School Music. Local chapters are in Louis- ville, Kentucky. Cincinnati. Delaware, Pots- dam. New York, Indiana and Bowling Green. The purposes of the fraternity are to create and foster fellowship among students and teachers, to attain a higher degree of musical ability individually, to aid the members pro- fesionally and to foster loyalty to the Alma Mater. Beta Chapter was founded at Bowling Green State College in 1926. The scholastic standards for admission are very high. mak- ing membership difficult to attain. The fra- ternity meets every Wednesday night and discusses problems and conducts programs of interest to Public School Music Supervisors. This year the organization sponsored the Gilbert and Sullivan opera, H. M. S. Pina- fore. The production was a decided success and will go into the history of Beta Chapter as one of its biggest undertakings. Each year the organization entertains the entire Music Department. This year the custom was car- ried out by the giving of a formal dinner at the Woman's Club. Four members of Beta Chapter attended the National Music Supervisor's Conference in Chicago. They met many people promi- nent in music circles of the world and were greatly inspired by the work demonstrated there. Beta Chapter is holding the National Phi Sigma Mu Convention in Bowling Green in May. Approximately thirty dele- gates will be entertained besides many persons who are well known musical artists.

OHIO ETA CHAPTER I KAPPA DELTA is a National Hon- orary Forensic Fraternity. There are three great national forensic fraternities. Pi Kappa Delta, with 10.000 members in l3Z chapters, being the largest. The fore- most schools forensically in the country have chapters in this great organization. The underlying idea of the Fraternity lies in the Greek phrase Peitho Kalea Dihaiaf' meaning The art of persuasion, beautiful and just. From this Greek phrase comes the name of the organization. In this phrase lies the fundamental standards of efficiency in public speech. Not only must a speaker be a thinker, but he must have convictions and be able to express them in an effective style. When a college debater or orator has demon- strated, in intercollegiate competition. his proficiency in The art of persuasion, beau- tiful and just. he is eligible to membership in Pi Kappa Delta. At the biennial convention of the Frater- nity held in Wichita, Kansas, Bowling Green State College was granted Ohio Eta Chapter. This was the greatest forensic triumph which has ever come to our institution. The charter was granted to Bowling Green largely on the basis of her splendid record in intercollegiate debate and oratory in the last decade. and especially in the great national forensic tour- nament at the Wichita Convention. It was a distinct honor to Bowling Green that she was so recognized by one of the great hon- orary fraternities of the nation. On May 23, 1930, Ohio Eta Chapter was formally installed at Bowling Green. The installation ceremonies took place at three o'clock in the afternoon. Professor J. D. Menchofer of Michigan State College was the national officer who conducted the cere- monies. In the evening, the charter members of the organization and their guests enjoyed a delightful formal banquet at the Commo- dore Perry Hotel. Toledo, Ohio. A theatre party at the Toledo Paramount Theatre brought the installation celebration to a close. There is no doubt but that the installation of Ohio Eta Chapter of Pi Kappa Delta was a milestone in the progress of Bowling Green State College toward national recognition- forensicallv and otherwise. The local chap- ter will be very active in the future in de- veloping The art of persuasion, beautiful and just. Om llumlrnl Tlairly 1 JJ! fl f' .Y y ,ef Mffjwjyjfdl ffjjjl , flilfelfw f f f LW l T .

There were thirteen charter members who drew up the constitution. es- tablished the aim. and selected the name. Les Liseurs. The name. when translated into the English, means. The Readers : but the pur- pose of the organization is more than mere reading. Les Liseurs strives to interpret life: to feel and reproduce the emotions that are represented in each selection. And in connec- tion with this, each member tries to develop the smooth. deep tones of the voice. that his interpretation may be a pleasure to his audi- ence. He tries to follow Hamlet's advice and refrain from mouthing the words or saw- irg the air with the hands . At the present time. the club has only tive members. but this small group has been exceedingly active in the college and also in the community. These members have read before various fraternal organizations, clubs. church groups. and at local banquets. Two years ago a friendly contest was arranged be- tween Bowling Green State College and Ypsilanti State Normal College. At this con- test Ypsilanti was awarded the olive crown, but the next year the representatives of Les Liseurs, Elizabeth Brown. and Lola Rupp, were victorious. As there seemed to be a desire for victory. rather than interest in the work. the colleges agreed to give up the con- tests. In their place. a Readers' Interpretive Recital was arranged at Ypsilanti this year. Three members of Les Liseurs. Ruthanna Brinkman.

X The Delhi Fraternity, formerly recognized under two other captions is the oldest fraternal organization on the campus. Its activity dates back to the very beginnings of the institution so that we have accumulated a great deal of tradition which is handed down from year to year. Through a gradual process of development we have grown to be what we are today with our membership including over one hundred active and alumni stu- dents. Our alumni mailing list con- tains men of outstanding merit and distinction, among them prominent educators, lawyers, and teachers. To be worthy of the honor of claiming such men as brothers in our frater- nity, we try to keep them informed of social and school events here, and thus to fill the important place of a connecting link between alumni and their alma mater.

Lowell. ll Olde Five Brothers is the oldest con- tinuous fraternity on the Bowling Green State college campus, being or- ganized in the sixth year of the existence of the institution and proving to be one of the outstanding fraternal organizations ever since that time. The constant growth of the fraternity es- tablished it firmly in the life of the college and proves a wonderful bond between an alumni body of over one hundred and fifty and the active fraternity, composed of some thirty- five or forty odd brothers and neophytes. Constantly bearing the fraternity motto in mind, i. e.- College first: Five Brothers second, he membership has never faltered ' it ' better Bowling Green of all round men w o in 1 l .

The men of the organizaiton are found among leaders in all of the intercollegiate and intramural activities, in the various societies and other campus groups and in scholarship. This year a higher standard of membership was established, the fraternity fixing a new scholarship requirement for all neophytes before they were permitted to become mem- bers. The alumni members of the Five Brothers are found in numerous walks of life in many states, highly successful and ever reflecting good upon the institution. The active fra- ternity points with pride to the records of these men who have gone out into the game of life and have succeeded even better there than they did in the college.

In the summer of 1929 the fraternity con- tinued actively for the first time since its origin and found much interest created among the older members who were studying in college during the two summer sessions. At that time the initial steps were taken to estab- lish a fund for the construction or purchase of a fraternity home in the future. This movement has increased considerably since then and indicates fine success for the frater- nity in its aim to provide a fine home for future members. Outstanding social events on the Five Brother calendar are the numerous open house smokers and neophyte entertainment at Christmas time, and the Spring picnic. The annual Formal Nationality Dance always proves a center of interest in the college social ccalendar. The motif tins year was Ancient Egypt, with the decorations.exciting great comment. The development of the huge Sphynx, pyramids. palms. obelisks, mum- mies. the typically abundant hieroglyphics lighted up by flickering sacred fires, and' the warm glow of the desert sun reflected upon the gayly gowned party from the sands of the Sahara made a picture that filled the fraternity men with pride. The annual Nationality Formal is always carried out to the minutest possible detail. The past has featured China. Spain and Turkey. The usual graduation harvest will cause the fraternity to regret the departure of many men whose work has given Bowling Green added prestige. The fraternity will feel the loss of George Evans, Ancel Edington, Ervin Kreischer. Erwin Price. Max Franklin, Frank Crawford. Bernard Bricker and Glen John- son, but confidence in their future success is expressed by those who will carry on for Bowling Green college and fraternity. OFFICERS Ye Olde Skull .........

Mr. W. A. Zaugg, and Mr. Clyde Hissong. URING the holidays of 1926 a group of college men having a desire to form a more permanent social bond than is ordinarily possible among unorganized students, effected a tentative organization. With the advent of the new year the group was formally organized as the Com- moners' Fraternity. Ten charter members constituted the roster of the new club. The name is derived from and based upon the principles embodied in the lives of two great Americans. Abraham Lincoln, and Andrew Jack- son. The end of the present school year finds the brotherhood consisting of twenty-two alumni members now living as near as Bowling Green and as far away as Tucson, Arizona: and twenty active members fourteen of whom live at the fraternity house. The group represents participants in almost all major campus activities. The ideals of the fraternity are best expressed as a united effort to make a better college, to promote a better col- lege spirit, and to establish a lasting brotherhood among the members. The daily living together of the members now attending college has forged the steel bonds of friendship which like polished armor adorn and defend. Until this past year no com- mon living quarters had been secured whereby more than half of the mem- bers could like together as one big C ln' Humlrcal Tbirly-tix Commoners Fra tern 1' ty George.

The fraternity considers it a real mark of progress to have made such a tie possible: because of its effi- cient organization the members have a happy home environment among school surroundings. The brotherhood has enjoyed numerous social functions during the year, including theatre parties. dinner parties, a Home-Coming Stag, and the Annual Metropolitan Ball. At midnight, Saturday, November ninth, 1929, active members and alumni gathered together at Muir's Collegian Lunch to celebrate the sec- ond day of Home-Coming. Old friendships were revived, and new en- trants were made to feel welcome while a delicious supper was enjoyed. A great re-union was again effected at the Annual Metropolitan Ball, the traditional formal dance which is al- ways anticipated with delight and enthusiasm. The present year's event of April twenty-sixth marked the cul- mination of the social endeavors of the fraternity. With the passing of the fourth milestone the organization looks for- ward to perpetuating the good-will and friendship of its members, to- gether with the aims and ideals of its Alma Mater.

VERY club desires to reach that peak of perfection where inter- esting programs may be presented and every member is alert to forward the interests of the club. This, we feel, has been accomplished by the members of the Toledo Club this year. The purpose of this organiza- tion is to create, maintain, and extend a unity of feeling and social atmos- phere among the Toledo members of the student body. In keeping with our aim, at the be- ginning of the year, the incoming group was introduced by means of a stimulating initiation and spread to the spirit of the club and the social life of the college. As in previous years, the organiza- tion sponsored the annual Hallowe'en Dance which was the Hrst social ac- tivity of the new term. To add to the jollity of the occasion prizes were given for the costumes best illustrat- ing the typical Hallowe'en spirit. Dire predictions were prophesied at the fortune-telling booths sponsored by the various sororities of the college. The men contributed a daring tum- bling act.

These will be long remem- bered by the members who partici- pated in the unusual games, the general fun, and enjoyable spread. The club held a bridge-luncheon in Toledo at the Woman's Club for a large group of members, alumnae and friends of the club. A delightful luncheon was served following the afternoon's entertainment. The annual banquet terminates the year of co-operative activity. Much of the success of our activi- ties has been due to the excellent lead- ership of our advisor. Miss Marva Hough. In fact, success has accom- panied every undertaking of the Toledo Club, and it is our sincere hope that the club may continue to be an important factor in Bowling Green State College.

VERYONE needs some home ties-inti- mate ties that bind one to the interests, events, and progress of one's home community. So reasoned the students from Huron County last year. Consequently a Huron County Club was organized. Pink and green were chosen the colors of the club. For a motto we have: B2 and XL. be square and excel. Miss Hedrick, of the English Department, our faculty advisor, has contributed much to the success of our first year's work. Mrs. Reynolds, matron of Shatzel Hall, is from Huron County, and was enrolled in the club as an honorary mem- ber. This is our first year as a permanent college organization, and we have not had much opportunity for growth, With our energetic and optimistic members we hope to carry out a social program that will harmoniously blend the interests of school and home.

HE Lorain Club is a social organization, composed of Lorain girls attending the college. lt was organized in November, 1926, for the purpose of creating a spirit of friendliness and good fellowship among the members, and promoting the best interests of the college in the home community. The year began with an initiation party at Shatzel Hall. where several new members were taken into the organization. Among the social functions to be remembered was the joint meeting of the Toledo and Lorain Clubs. at which stunts, games, dancing and refreshments were enjoyed. In April the club was delightfully entertained at a Bunco party by our sponsor, Miss Gertrude Brod, who always takes an active interest in our activi- ties. Each year it is the custom for the girls of the Lorain Club to welcome their alumni members back to Bowling Green by giving a luncheon at Homecoming. The members of the club have taken an active party in all of the college functions during the academic year. OFFICERS preside!!! ....... CATHERINE DARLINGTON Vice-President ...........

At that time it was composed only of the girls from Han- cock County. Since then the number of the boys from the county attending school has so increased that the club extended the mem- bership to both boys and girls. This plan has proved very successful and it is to be con- tinued in the future. The Club holds its regular meetings on the Grst and third Tuesday evening of each month. Business is discussed Hrst and then the remainder of the evening is given over to games and contests. A big item of interest this year for the club was the spring vacation dinner and theatre party held at Findlay, April first. The dinner. served at the Coffee Shoppe. was in the form of an April fool dinner and created much merriment. Prettv leatherette note pads with the club name engraved on the cover were given as favors. The group then mo- rored to the Harris Theatre where they en- joyed the picture Happy Days . A picnic is being planned for all the county students as a pleasant conclusion of a very successful year. ' Our sponsors for this year were Miss Ka'hryn Miles and Miss Gladys Burling.

This fea- ture is fast becoming one of the permanent and most enjoyable events on our college cal- endar. This year the success of the dance was due largely to the activity of the Wood County Club. During the summer term of l928 a group of students organized a Wood County Club. This organization was revived last fall for the sole purpose of taking charge of the eve- ning program that successfully climaxes Home-Coming. The evening of November 9 witnessed the largest response of the alumni to the home call of their Alma Mater of any year in the history of our college. The fifteen hundred alumni were ushered into the large gymnasium through an arch of orange and brown. Five hundred balloons of various hues were hung overhead and threw weird, moving shadows against the walls and floor. In front of a futuristic fan-like stage the orchestra was seated. Flashes of lightning formed part of the upper stage. Welcome Alumni greeted the returning members of the Bee Gee fam- ily. The gaily colored gowns of the myriads of dancers were made resplendent by large flood lights of red, yellow. green. and blue. The circular dance floor was strikingly en- closed by numerous futuristic arches of rain- bow hues. Much credit for the success of the Home- Coming dance is due to the combined efforts of the Wood County Club and Mr. Singer. of our faculty. ' OFFICERS President ................

The true measuring stick is The Code of a Sportsman : to keep fit, to keep the rules, to keep one's temper, to keep a stout heart in defeat, to control pride in victory, to keep a sound soul, a clean mind, and a healthy body. These are the qualities that have been excmpliiied by the men who have been taking an active part in the athletic program sponsored by the in- stitution. Bowling Green College should rightfully be proud of this record for our young men have PLAYED THE GAME. PAUL E. LANDIS. The Department of Physical Education aims to give all of the men in the institution a wholesome, voluntary, and permanent in- terest in some form of sport. Through acquisition of the new gymnasium and im- provement of the athletic field. our facilities for accomplishing this purpose are unexcelled in Ohio. Increased competitive opportunities are offered through the addition of track. ten- nis and cross country as intercollegiate sports. and the introduction here of handball as an intramural activity. At least two-thirds of the men engage reg- ularly in some team or individual game, and what is more. they play well and they play like gentlemen. After theylgraduate. most of them teach or teach and coach, and the signi- ficant thing is that they do it in the same spirit in which they nlayed while in school. It is a healthy sign when they are not con- tent with their share of games won while playing, but it is a healthier sign when they win more than their share of the bigger games after they graduate. The Physical Education department confidently believes in the present group of men: they will produce ahletically and educationally as many of their predecessors are now doing. WARREN E. STELLAR. Urge a mule and he will balk: urge a thoroughbred and he will give you all that he has. This I think. will explain the cred- itable performances of Bowling Green men in the past and should indicate that the ath- letes of the future will distinguish the institu- ticn to no less degree. EDWIN TRETHAWAY. Om Humlml lofty-four Cheer' Leaders Galanka. I-Ioopcs. Powers. N a clear October day Bee Gee played its first football game. The bleachers were filled. and it seemed as if the crowd should be in high spirits. .Down in front of the bleachers could be seen people frantically jumping up and down trying, oh. so hard. to arouse some enthusiasm among the onlookers. These were the cheerleaders. Mary Powers. a product of last year. and Morris Zimmer- man. a freshie, who hailed from Bee Gee High. They were not having an easy time. as one could see from their rather vain efforts. The people on the bleachers did not seem to realize that those boys, out on the field. fighting for the honor of the school, needed their hearty support in order to win the game. This attitude on the part of the spectators changed as the football season progressed. The cheering gained in volume as confidence in the team increased and the rooters demon- stratcd to the boys that they were with them to the finish. Then the basketball season opened. As Zimmie had withdrawn from school, it was necessary for Mary Powers to secure some new recruits. Paul Galanka. Montana Hoops. Izzy'V' Baron and Beulah Steen were initiated into the art of cheerleading. New yells were introduced and strenuous efforts put forth by the new combination of cheerleaders. Everyone experienced a thrill as this agile quartet. conspicuously dressed, appeared and moved simultaneouslv in leading the cheers. The hearty cooperation of the loyal rooters which marked the entire basketball season reflects great credit upon their competent leaders. Much credit is also due to Professor Holt. the advisor of the cheerleaders. who contrib- uted new songs and vells. He deserves a vote of thanks from the student body. Ouu llumlml lorlj Mt Student Managers Burget. l-lostetter. Huntington. Schroeder, Wilson. ANY are those who contribute to the greatness of an institution or sport but who do not share in the grand hurrah of victory. These silent. efficient workers who do that unnoticed yet necessary labor are worthy of the highest esteem of their fellow men. They are as responsible for the success of any undertaking as are those persons who occupy the more spectacular places. College life so filled with extra-cur- ticular activities has need of many such self- effacing individuals. In athletics. the man- the active field. Upon their shoulders rests the endless details of routine management. It is they who are held accountable for the equipment neces- sary for the games. When the team plays away from home they mllst carry along the medicine kit, the equipment. the score book and a hundred other things necessary to the welfare of the team. During practice hours. the managers treat injured players. answer inquiries. and are generally useful in any ca- pacity whatever. They seem possessed of the gift of ubiquity. Such unselfish service has its own reward enriching the lives of the managers, through happy association with the athletes them- selves. Friendships are cemented which last throughout life. Bowling Green College stands for the highest type of athletics. par- ticipaled in by athletes of sterling qualities. Association with such men makes the work of the managers most pleasant. At the end of the season the college confers upon them an honor letter, symbolic of serv- ice rendered the school for one year. Two vears managership is rewarded by the gift of a sweater bearing the initials B. G. The alhletic managers give willingly of their time and energy for the advancement of their college. They strive endlessly to further the high and worthy flight of the mighty Falcon. I.et us hope that their lives will continue an expression of the best ideals of the college in which they learned the joy of service. Om Illmrlrul Forly-six' fBrown Awards Brown, Edington, Filiere.

BROWN, of Defiance, a trustee of our college, has established the custom of voting the most valuable athlete in each sport a medal and inscribing his name on a bronze plaque in the school trophy case. The men so recognized within the last year are here mentioned. Q ANCEL EDINGTON was voted the most valuable track man last year. He was the most consistent point getter on the team and was elected honorary captain by the team members. His specialties were the 100 and 220-yard dashes and the running broad jump. Eddy is with us again this year and no doubt will repeat the success of last year or quite possibly improve upon it. HOWARD FILIERE, probably one of the best all-round athletes Bowling Green has ever had. was voted the most valuable base- ball man. He was an excellent pitcher and was capable of lilling almost any position on the team. Howie is making quite a suc- cess in a Cleveland junior high school. VERNON ACE LERCI-I piloted the tennis team to a conference championship last year. The newspaper men, quite impressed with his game. gave hi.m the highly honored title of Ace . ln reward for his steady and out- standing work Ace was voted the Brown medal. He is with us again this year. so keep your eyes on him. girls. JACK Tl-lOUROT Two point . Jack is one of Bowling Green's best young athletes. having made letters in football. basketball and baseball. This year he was honored with the Brown Award and was no doubt the most consistent man on the basketball team. Jack should do his college a lot of good in thenext two years. HAROLD TREECE was voted the most val- uable man on the football team. His team- mates were agreed that he should be voted the Brown Award . When the team needed to gain ground Hallie was called on to pass or buck the line. He was the most dependable player on the team and was further honored by being voted honorary captain for the year.

The demo- cratic tendencies of the twentieth cen- tury have brought about a changed social attitude. Today we are inter- dependent on each other rather than independent. Our whole structure of society is built upon team play. , Athletics, in its present meaning, is one of the social activities of the school. It ,holds a very important place as such and is easily justifying its existence. It brings about a strong school spirit and gives the students something to which they can pledge their loyalty. One of the things, which the Var- sity B. G. club strives to have and maintain is clean athletics , in other words. to keep such evils as proselyt- ing, professionalism and scouting from creeping into varsity sports. The varsity men pride themselves in saying that our sports are played for sport's sake thus teaching the par- ticipants lessons which are neded for life. The dominating qualities. those of courage. determination, leadership and good sportsmanship are brought out in the participant. r p Any man earning the college monogram for participation in any one of the varsity sports, automatic- ally becomes a member of this club. Managers of the various sports are also members. Om Humlrnl lorly-vigbl Varsity B. G. Mignin, Myers, Ostrander. Parke, Price, Rinehold, Roller, Ryder. Shelfer, Spengler. Stacy.

Owing to the fact that nearly all of the members of the club are affili- ated with other college organizations and activities the meetings have not been called regularly during the past school year. However, the club has decided to purchase medals for all members of championship varsity teams. The outstanding social event of the year was the annual dance, which was held Friday, February 21. It was an informal affair. Little time or money was spent on decorations, but special attention was given to procuring an exceptionally good orchestra. The orchestra furnished the dancers with many popular and peppy numbers. No one will forget the unusually good time which he enjoyed at the Varsity B. G. dance. ' The club regrets the loss of several of their older members who are grad- uating, and will go out to teach others the modern theory of fair play and clean athletics. The major purposes of the club are to get more men of the college interested in athletics. and by fair means to induce graduating high school men to come to Bowling Green State College.

But such victories seldom result from disorganized, sporadic cheering: it is the united Team rah! Team.rah! Rah rah team! that gives that needed encouragement and stamina to the players. Cases in illustration of the value of cheering at athletic contests are numerous in Bowling Green history. The first cheerleader we had, more than ten years ago, was a volunteer-Clifford Raberding. The first regularly elected leader was Ivan CD00 Lake, who served capably for all four years he attended college. The next incumbent was Leo Lake, who is shown above, with his two assistants. This picture dates from 1924, when it was published in the first Key ever issued. Since that time, Glen Dennis, Lester Hanna, Von Frowein, and Glen Pore have all been connected with cheerleading, not to forgt Ildryth Mose- ley and Mary Powers, our present leader. In all this time. many a close football, basketball, or baseball game has been saved for Bowling Green by the lusty vocal efforts of loyal students and alumni. We hope that this aid to the athletes representing the school will not be neglected in the future, for much can be accomplished thereby. Um' llumlrml lfifly S'2 THE Northwest Ohio Conference football bunting being safely tucked away in Bee Gee records for another year, we take this opportunity to bring before you a few interesting statistics which we feel assured you will heartily enjoy. The 1929 Falcon championship team hung up four victories, two defeats, and one tie to grace our records. The team was built around only four 1928 letter men. This conference championship has finally lodged in Bowling Green. November 19, 1927, marked the last time that a conference opponent humbled the Falcons on the gridiron. In the past four seasons the Bee Gee cohorts have lost only two conference football combats. Chet Chapman, picked by the experts for the mythical 1928 All-Ohio team, being shaded by only two out of the wealth of very capable ends in Ohio.

Bee Gee fought viciously from beginning to end, but did not seem to have that well known punch when it was most needed. The fact that the Bereans emerged victorious by the decisive score of 18-0 does not detract from the pride which we hold for our 1929 team, because the visitors exhibited one of the very fastest and best tackling and blocking outfits ever seen on our gridiron. In fact, they went through their 1929 Ohio Conference schedule undefeated, with the exception of an Akron U. setback. Many faces new to the local gridiron fans were seen in the Bee Gee starting lineup, and there was considerable promise of future power. It was largely the lack of experience, together with the hurried pre-season training, which was responsible for the defeat. u BEE GEE VS. MICHIGAN STATE NORMAL On October l l, the Bee Gee cohorts journeyed to Ypsilanti to engage Michi- gan State Normal in somewhat of an intersectional affair. In the face of even greater odds than were encountered in the season's opener, our team went down smarting under a 34-7 drubbing, our only consolation being those lonely seven points-the first Bee Gee scores of the year-a touchdown, resulting from a clever Treece to Switzer pass, and the extra point added by Treece'.s educated toe. The Michiganites were a hard charging crew: if you would dispute this state- ment, ask the local linemen. By this time, the team was in rare physical condition, and the Falcon was anxiously awaiting the opportunity to sink its talons into its lfirst conference prey, Findlay College. BEE GEE VS. FINDLAY COLLEGE i The conference season opened on October 18, Bee Gee being host to the Findlay College ball toters. Bee Gee ,ripped and tore through the Findlay linejscoring almost at will and piling up the formidable score of 23-0. Treece, acting captain, played one of his best games, alternately kicking, passing, and carrying the pigskin, and Hnally ending his day by'making good on a beatiful 35-yard dropkick-a rare feat of late. This game uncovered an- other outstanding gridder in Perry, at quarter. The pass combination-Treece to Perry-was good for many a first down, of which there twenty-one as com- pared with Findlay's 1. The whole Bee Gee line continually outcharged and outfought the visitors' line. The Falcons used a very deceptive attack, and the victory provided a great opportunity for the local warriors to gain that needed confidence for the Toledo game, Om' Hllmlrrrl Fiffy-lbrcr' BEE GEE VS. TOLEDO UNIVERSITY On October 26, the largest crowd that ever witnessed a football game at University Field saw the raging Falcons, in their second conference game, battle the powerful Toledo U. eleven to a scoreless tie. Although considerably outweighed by the Munies and constantly menaced by the accurate passing, punting, and plunging of Dunn. Toledo fullback, the Falcons fought like Trojans and rightfully earned the draw. On three occasions the Falcons outfought the Munies within Bowling Green's own 10-yard line. It certainly would have been disheartening to either of the rivals for their opponents to have scored in such a hard fought, well played game. BEE GEE VS. DEFIANCE COLLEGE Bowling Green celebrated the Dehance College Homecoming. November 2. in a more decisive way than Denance celebrated the Falcon Homecoming in 1928, by subduing the Yellowjackets 6 to O at City Park. . As in the Toledo U. game, both teams fought desperately throughout. Perry's pass snaring and elusive running, which brought about the only score of the game, was superb, as was Treece's kicking. Late in the fourth quarter Defiance launched a thrilling passing attack which culminated in one of the greatest defensive stands we have ever seen from a Bowling Gren tam. A Defiance pass netted a first down on the Falcon 6M yard line, and in three downs the Yellowjackets pushed the oval to the 6 inch line. Here, on the last down, the Falcon line held just 2 inches from the goal line, thanks to Chapman and Stevenson, Here's hats off to the Falcons' defensive play! BEE GEE VS. BLUFFTON COLLEGE In a blaze of glory the Falcons clinched the Conference championship in celebrating the eighth annual Bowling Green Homecoming, November 9, by decisively downing Bluffton 15 to 0. Both teams put up a hard fight in the first half, which ended 2-0 because of the fighting Falcon's defensive play. Bluff- ton was eventually worn down in the second half and two touchdowns were netted. In this half Chet Chapman made his backheld debut, and on his first attempt at lugging the pigskin his pile-driving tactics caused Bluffton to retreat 13 yards. We should like to explain that even though Bowling Green and Toledo ended the conference schedule in a tie for the championship, the bunting goes to the Falcons, due to a conference ruling that the championship is ours until some team decisively takes it away from us. Om' IlIllllll'1'lI Fifi-y-fain' BEE GEE VS. DETROIT CITY COLLEGE In closing a very successful gridiron season the Falcons took Detroit City College by the overwhelming score of 25 to 2. After fighting through a great scoreless first half the Bee Gee representatives came back strong and literally hung Detroit on the hook . Playing his last college game, Treece. Bowling Green's triple threat ace. con- cluded his career in great style. His kicking during the entire game was espe- cially high in caliber. This game saw farewells said to two other Bowling Green football luminaries. who will certainly be missed next year-our old mainstays. Judge Crawford and George Evans.

His fight and drive gained for him the admiration of his fellow teammates and ih: coaches. His graduation will leave a va- cancy which cannot easily be tilled. DoY'r PERRY- Doyz Doyt was a stranger to B. G. fandom at the beginning of the season and was their idol at the last of the season. Simply that he de- veloped into one of the best little quarterbacks this college has ever had. He was a clever runncr and a wonderful pass receiver. 'i ARTHUR TRAVIS- Trauie 'I'ravie , another of those Napoleon lads. broke into the regular lineup enough to win his letter. His work at tackle was excellent. both defensively and offensively. Next year Travie should come through in great shape. Om' Ilnmlrr-nl Fifty-six HAROLD TREECI3- Hallie When one thinks of Bowling Green's superb football teams of the last three years the man that comes into the limelight is Hallie . He played at the half back position for three years and this last year he was voted the Brown Award. honorary captaincy. and a position on the all-conference team. These honors have come as a reward for his consis- tent. steady and manly playing for the Orange and Brown. When the 1931 team trots upon the Held it will be minus Hallie , a back- held player who has filled a man's position for three years and filled it very efficiently. HARRY TROUB- Troub Troub is a Lorain lad who should show us much about football next year. He played at guard and tackle like a veteran. His fight and drive should make him a very valuable man on the team in the years to come. JACK THOUROT- Jack Jack was a very good consistent lineman. Due to a shift from his regular position at end to the one at guard he was slightly handicapped in showing his true form. Next year we expect great things from him. CHESTER CHAPMAN- Chappy Chappy played an excellent game at end and was an exceptionally fine defense. As a result of his efforts he was given honorable mention on the all-Ohio team and was chosen at end on the all-conference team. Om' Humlrvd 11 ty stun F wr ..,, Si DON LOWELL- Geeher Don showed alternating flashes of brilliant and mediocre football playing. He was an ex- cellent blocker and could carry the pigskin in a very capable fashion. We believe that if Don would play up to his potential ability he would have no equal in the conference. Let's show them next year. What do you say? FRANK CRAWFORD- Judge Judge played at end in a very consistent and commendable manner. one of his calibre and character is very hard to replace. Judge has been on lhe varsity squad for the last four years and will be greatly missed next year. HOWARD GOLDNER- Tuffy Tuffy was all you could in the way ot a good hard smashing tackle. If there were any ball carriers to be tackled Tuffy just could- n'l resist the temptation to smack them down. incidentally he also was an all-conference man. JAMES MIGNIN-- Jim 'Jim was another lirst year man who broke into the regular lineup. He played at fullback and did a good job of it. Just a little more experience and Jim will make the college one of the finest fullbacks it has ever had. Om Humlrvrl Fifty-eigbl A E 9 iQ 11 .J x MACS LEl'fMAN-i'MUCS Macs had already seen four years of splendid service. but was therefore ineligible. Not dis- heartened. he rendered a real service to his college by coaching the Freshman squad. CLIFFORD STEVENSON- Red Red played at the center position all season. His passing was nearly perfect. Defensively he was a bear , Red also has that knack of getting through the line and tackling the ball carrier when he least suspects it. Red was all'conference center. KEITH DEWALT DeWalt deserves a lot of credit for breaking in as a regular his Hrst year. No player in the conference surpassed him in going down under punts. He was a hard clean tackler. Great things should be in store for him in the future. WILLIARD AULT- Ault ia .rfvQ, - it 'fi . . g! Ault was one of the slickest little linemen in the conference. His ability to break through the opponents' line and nab the ball carrier deserves considerable commendation.

The team went on the floor coptained by Price: he, Stevenson and Thourot were the only men experienced in college basketball, Lewis and Cox being Freshmen. Ten men were used throughout the entire game. Although Bob QLewisj was high point man, no one player could be regarded the star of the team. Kenyon took the lead early in the game and held it throughout for a final score of 33-38. Baldwin Wallace, one of the strongest teams in the Ohio Conference de- feated Bowling Green which lacked its veteran captain, Erwin Price. His loss was deeply felt all the more because he will be out for the entire season due-to illness. Our second defeat ended with the score of 13-32. Our first victory, 31-30, was over Case School of Applied Science. Bowling Green found itself and showed up the fine quality of the new men. The score was a fair indication of the closeness of the game. The team's first trip was to Cleveland, Ohio, where they played Western Reserve University. Here they suffered their third defeat, 28-42. The Falcons lost the Hrst Conference game after a hard fought battel to the Bluffton Beavers by a score of 31-32. Overtime period was necessary to decide the game, I Om' Il ll mlrwl Sixly-I wu Failing to get going in the first half lost the Bowling Green College another basketball game. This time it took the. Ohio Northern team to turn the trick with only a two-point margin, 27-29. The Falcons won their first Conference game from Findlay. by a decisive score of 36-28. Thourot's long shots and floor work were the outstanding factors. We returned Blufi'ton's stinging defeat by winning our second Conference game, 23-22. The game was hard fought throughout the entire period. On Friday. January 25, the team started a two-day trip. The first' stop resulted in a defeat at the hands of Mount Union College. 27-48. Their second stop also brought us a defeat, 32-30, by our sister college. Kent State. Bowling Green traveled to Ada, Ohio, to give Ohio Northern its second defeat at our hands. The score was 35-38. ' Defiance was placed in the lead in the Conference race when they downed the Falcons, 40-28. The game was more interesting than the score would indicate. After meeting defeat three straight times, Toledo University came to Bowling Green determined to win their first Conference game. They were suc- cessful in defeating the local boys in an overtime period by'27-30. Findlay suffered its second defeat at the hands of Bowling Green, 54-40. The Falcons, under the wondrful lealership of Captain Thourot, showed pro- fessional-like ability. The Defiance Yellow Jackets came to Bowling Green determined to set down Coach Stellar's boys and win the Northwestern Conference title. After a scoring spree in the first half they cinched the game, 24-38. The Falcons traveled to Toledo for their last game of the season and suffered their second defeat at the hands of Toledo University, 24-28. Om' H ll rnlrwl Si.x'ly-Ibm' JACK THOUROT, a Sophomore, was the only veteran on this year's team at the start of the season. He played a guard position very effectively. He was elected captain of the team, and given the Brown Award for his services. LEWIS, a Freshman, played at a for- ward position. He is a snappy, clever player from Rossford and much is ex- pected of him next year. GOLDING, a Sophomore. broke into the lineup on many occasions to show splendid ability in floor and team work. FREDDIE KOHL, a Freshman, hail- ing from Bowling Green High, played five games and helped his team to win several victories. One Humln tl Sixly-four HYATT. a Freshman, held down a guard position with Thourot in a very capable manner. Much is expected of this lad next year. Cox, a Freshman, played the entire season. He hails from Kunkle, and shows his ability through the honor of being high point man. DOYT ' PERRY. our clever quarter- back, had some difficulty in breaking into the lineup, but once he started he showed everyone that he was at home on the basket ball court. Om' I-Inmlrml Sulg uc The Basket Ball Season HE fact that the Bowling Green College basketball team failed to win the conference championship is no sign the college did not.have a successful year. Coaches Landis and Stellar were planning for the future and have built a team around five men who will be eligible for the next two or three years. Cox at center is a freshman and no doubt will ill the pivot position next year. The big boy from Kunkle was slow in getting started but played many good games and led his team-mates in the scoring column when he collected 136 for the season. Lewis, another freshman, played a forward position and was next to Cox in scoring with a total of lOl points. Lew registered many buckets when he would dribble around his opponent for a close in shot. Big things will be expected of this Rossford lad next season. Doyt Perry, the Columbus lad was a long time breaking into the lineup and then was slow in locating the basket, but when he started the opponents found it no easy matter to check him. Doyt had his big night at Findlay when he rolled up a total of twenty points. He was third in the team individual, scoring with 53 points. and it wouldn't surprise us to see the little Sophomore lead the team next year. ','Freddie Kohl played a line game of ball and helped his team in winning several games. Our only regret is that the Bowling Green boy will not be back next year. A'Jack Thourot, the Stryker entry, was the stellar player of the season. Jack played on the guard end and could be counted on to hold his man in any game. He was captain of the team, being only a sophomore, but the oldest man in service. Two more years for Thourot, and let's hope the Stryker band comes over again. A Stuart Hyatt was playing his first year of college basket ball but proved a valuable man for the guard end. Like Thourot, the boy hails from Stryker and is another product of a former Bee Gee player, Hayden Olds. Olds has turned out some good teams since going to Stryker and the local college has benefited from it. Hyatt still has three years and should be a valuable man to Bowling Green. During the season sixteen different men played with the varsity at some time. Some of the players made good with the B team and were given a chance with the varsity. Others were on the varsity all season. Jump registered the second semester and played in the last four games. Johnnie is a heady player and would have made a fine leader for the college quintet. He graduates this spring so has played his last game for the local college. Golding played in many games and more will be heard from the Maumee lad next season. Red Stevenson was handicapped this season since he was out on account of sickness but Red still has another year to show his stuff. The other players who saw service with the varsity were Sheffer, Price. Chapman. Mainz. Mignin. Madaras. and Travis. Om' Illunl rm! Sixly-xi.v Brief Baseball Resume, 1929 HE Bowling Green Baseball team of 1929 enjoyed a fairly successful season. With at least five newcomers in the lineup the team came through for eight wins in twelve starts, finishing second in the conference. The team showed plenty of hitting strength but their fielding was somewhat weak at times. The Falcons twice defeated Western Reserve and once humbled Ohio Northern, mak- ing a good showing against these Ohio Conference teams. There will be at least seven letter men back next year and prospects are bright for a good time. Spengler will be the pitching mainstay and with the ever present new material Coach Stellar expects to have a strong team on the field next season. Kim- llumlrml Sixly-rigbl Detailed Baseball Review BOWLING GREEN I0-WESTERN RESERVE 4 Bowling Green opened its 1929 baseball season with Western Reserve at Cleveland. Hard hitting and good fielding by the Bowling Green boys enabled them to coast through to an easy victory. BOWLING GREEN 8-BLUFFTON 2 Good pitching by Howie Filiere, which held Bluffton to six scattered hits and struck out twelve batters. aided by timely hitting on the part of his team mates enabled the Bowling Green baseballers to hang up their first conference win of the season. Yawberg led the Bowling Green team at bat with four safe blows. BOWLING GREEN 9-FINDLAY 3 Findlay invaded Bowling Green only to be turned back by Coach Steller's nine as they recorded their second conference victory. Steady pitching by Spengler backed by good support in the held and at bat enabled Bowling Green to gain a lead which they held throughout the game. OHIO NORTHERN 10-BOWLING GREEN 6 Bowling Green met its first defeat of the season when the team had one of those off days . Eight errors. most of them made by the infield. enabled Northern to pile up a lead which Bowling Green could not overcome. Had the team played up to its usual standard they would undoubt- edly have come through with a victory-but that is another story. DEFIANCE I6-BOWLING GREEN 5 For six innings Bowling Green held Defiance to even terms but in the last three innings the fury broke loose and they scored eleven runs on ten hits, two of which were Herculean homers. Spengler of Bowling Green collected a homer and two singles in four trips. BOWLING GREEN 9-OHIO NORTHERN 8 CII inningsj Bowling Green journeyed to Ada to avenge their earlier defeat at the hands of Northern. At the end of nine frames the two teams were deadlocked at six-all. Bowling Green scored two in the tenth and apparently had the game in the bag, but an umpirical break enabled Northern to tie the count again. However, in the eleventh Yawberg scored and Northern went out in order. Thourot homered for Bowling Green. Spengler went the route for Bowling Green. BOWLING GREEN 3-BLUFFTON 2 C10 inningsb ' Bowling Green scored their second victory of the season over Bluffton in a bitterly contested struggle which was not decided until the tenth inning when Howie Filiere slid safely across home plate with the winning run after two were out. Filiere held Bluffton to live hits and fanned eight men. BOWLING GREEN I6-TOLEDO U. I Good hitting by Bowling Green coupled with ragged field play by Toledo U. enabled Bowling Green to score an easy victory at Toledo. Spengler pitched a steady game giving up only six safe blows. Filiere registered five safe blows in six trips to the plate. BOWLING GREEN 6-WESTERN RESERVE 2 Bowling Green scored their second victory of the season at Bowling Green. Filiere pitched a splendid game holding Reserve to five safe hits. FINDLAY 8-BOWLING GREEN 7 Bowling Green met defeat at Findlay in a bitterly contested struggle in which Findlay suc- cessfully used the squeeze play to put across the tying and winning runs in the eighth inning. BOWLING GREEN I6-TOLEDO U. 9 Toledo U. invaded Bowling Green and were again humiliated by having sixteen runs scored against them. Spengler homered in the first inning with the bags loaded. DEFIANCE 6-BOWLING GREEN 5 CIO inningsj Bowling Green lost a bitterly contested game to Defiance at that place. Defiance tied the score in the ninth with a two-run rally and won the game in the tenth. Spengler led the Bowling Green team at bat with three hits-one a triple with the bases full. This game marke dthe final appearance of H. Filiere, C. Filiere. Leitman and Purdy. Om- llumlrml Sixly-nim' 2 me 2'T'i.1:i i . 1 f 1 11'-.',. .-I ' 'H-5. ' I .. ' .' ., .af iss qi. ' ff ,.

MERT GALBRAITH was a first-year man who made a line show- J ing. He played second base like an old timer . He fielded brilliantly and was a good hitter. JOHNNY HOUGH played right field and did a good job of it. He also piled up a good batting average. He'll be back next year. f Lows ZEISSLER Louie's station was in right field and first base. He was a little slow of foot, but he hit hard enough and far enough so he usually got there just the same. HOWDY YAWBERG held down third base and did a good job of it. A good hitting speed on the bases made him an important factor in the team's success. He'll be back next year. JOHNNY JUMP - was back at first base where he gave a good account of himself. He fielded well and showed plenty of punch at the plate. He ends his career at Bowling Green next year. Om' Humlrml Smwzfy Baseball JAKE SPENGLER was pitcher, infielder and outfielder. Jake saw service at three different posts. He always gave a good account of himself regardless of where he played. He also packed a mean wallop at the plate. A homer with the bases full was the high light. He'll be back next year. CooNEY MARTENS was a first year man but he held down the shortstop job like a veteran. Good in the Held and at the bat-we look for big things from this boy next year. BOB SHEFFER is another first year man who has made good with a bang. His post was in left field where he took care of everything that came his way. He'll be back and we look for a lot from him. MAGS LEITMAN i was at his old post in center field. He was as graceful as ever. He also served as a relief pitcher. doing a line job of it. HOWIEH FILIERE was serving his fourth yearas a member of the Bowling Green baseball team. He was al- ways there when pitching and packed a mean wallop in his bat. ' - CR1cK FILIERE also saw service as a catcher. He displayed lots of pep and a good throwing arm.

These men started at once to train for the coming season. An inter-class meet was arranged to stimulate interest, and as a result many new prospects were found. The competition was keen, but the Sophomores won according to dope. All men trained untiringly, by working out in the gym in bad weather and on the athletic field during nice weather. The chief aim of the trackmen was to bring the conference title to the Falcon school. The team, after working for some time, showed itself to be weak in the weight division. Coach Landis then turned his attention toward trying to develop some weight men. The first meet was held on April 27. it being a quadrangular meet with Bluffton. Ohio Northern, Heidelberg and Bowling Green. The Falcons, though beaten, enjoyed the taste of competition and discovered the strength of Bee Gee in the dashes and hurdles. On May ll, Bluffton came to Bowling Green to take part in a dual meet. This gave the Falcons their first win, and also the needed confidence in order for the team to become better balanced and stronger. On May 18, Bee Gee journeyed to Defiance, and again emerged the victor. This showed the team its real strength, and what it could expect in the confer- ence meet. On May 25 Bee Gee met Albion College at home only to be beaten by a very strong team. They excelled the Falcons in the weight events. June 1 climaxed the season with the conference meet being held at Defiance. Two dark horses appearad on Bee Gee's team, in Calvin Park. who won the mile race, and Chester Chapman in the javelin throw. With creditable work from the rest of the team the Falcons returned home with the Championship tucked away for one more year. We are looking forward to a successful season in 1930, because only two men were lost by graduation, and we can always depend upon some new recruits and the improvement of the veterans.

Grades dis- qualined some, others were lost because of injuries, but the remaining men en- tered into the spirit of the competition, training long and hard, with the purpose in mind of making 1929 another banner year for the Falcon harriers. MEET DETAILS OF SEASON The first meet was with Ypsilanti. The team showed its strength in that meet by placing men well up in the running. The result of the team's hard training culminated in a trip to Toledo on Friday. October 25, and a contest with Toledo University. The Falcons won the meet by a 25-to-30 count. The Falcon team was composed of Ryder, Rozelle, Woodring, Hostetter and Park. The next meet was with Denance. Bee Gee won by a landslide, with a count of 18-to-41. Defiance was able to place but one man among the first seven places. Yoder, a new man on the team. aided in the success of this meet. Two victories. a keen record. and a team determined to keep it so, entered the homecoming meet with Bluffton. The Falcons won by only one point, 27 to 28. Probably this was the team's best race of the season. Every man was giving all he had for his college. ' The next week. Coach Landis booked a date with the fast Detroit City harriers to compete against the Falcons. This time the Falcons tasted defeat by a count of 25 to 31, a close score and a close race. The Falcons had the honor of Joe Ryder finishing first with the spendid record of running the 3M miles in 18 minutes and 12 seconds. We were then ready for the grand finale. the conference meet. The weather turned cold, and as a result the race had to be run under adverse conditions. A rejuvenated Toledo team placed six of its men in the first ten to cross the finish line. The Falcons ran a consistent race and as a result they received second place. Once again Toledo had taken the Falcons' measure, but another year will find the Falcon harriers trying to return that cup to Bee Gee State.

This record won for them the conference championship. At the close of the season Lerch was elected honorary captain and chosen for the Brown award. 1930 Ends five lettermen in school, besides a likely looking group of new men. The prospects for another conference title seem bright, but it must not be forgotten that it takes very little change to destroy the balance of power.

In an effort to have one hundred percent participation on the part of the men students numerous sports were organized. Prior to this, basketball had been the only sport offered to those who were not of varsity caliber. In working out this extensive program our chief aims were the promotion of health through some beneficial physical activity, the training of ideals, coopera- tion and sportsmanship, the knowledge which makes for the intelligent use of leisure time, and the bringing together in close social relationship the men stu- dents of the college: all these build for a well-rounded character, and likewise tend to develop college spirit and loyalty to the school. Coach Stellar chose Glenn Johnson as intramural manager with Donald Stacy as assistant: everyone agrees that he could not have found two better men in school for this work. Both are Seniors and minoring in Physical Educa- tion. Both are widely experienced in organizing and officiating in all branches of sports. Stacy was the intramural manager last year while Johnson has just served the past three years as a successful coach of high school teams. Their faithful work in putting this intramural program across is appreciated by everyone. In the early fall, while the weather was still present, two tennis tournaments were played. About twenty-five men signed up for each tournament. The first tournament was an elimination tournament and the rivalry was very keen. Every day the courts were occupied, and many good tennis players were dis- covered. The most impressive players were Lerch, Dermer, Stacy, Perry, Speng- ler and Mainz. There were many others, however, right on their heels and there were but few sets that were not closely contested. Cold wet weather stopped the second tournament, a Step-up tournament, and it is being completed this spring. Soon after tennis began, a horse-shoe tournament was organized and an outpouring of barnyard golf enthusiasts resulted. This was enjoyed immensely by both contestants and spectators. Cold weather stopped it before the finals were played, but the surviving players were Spengler, Dermer, Yaw- berg, and Lerch with not much choice between them. When inclement weather forced us to make use of our fine gym the chief activities were handball and basketball. Handball is coming to be recognized as one of the best conditioners of all sports. The four splendid courts were busy every day from fall until spring with students and faculty men who were finding in hand ball the activity and that was needed in getting coordination and exer- cise for all the muscles of the body. Two full rounds were played and when they were completed it was found that Martens was the singles champion with Lerch and Dermer winners in the doubles. Our' Humlrcal Eigbly-Iwo It is needless to say that basketball drew the greatest number of men, since basketball has always been prominent in Bowling Green State College. Over one-half of the men in college took part in intramural basketball: twelve full teams besides managers, timers, officials, and scorers participated. Most of the players were formerly high school stars, some of them all county players and very little below varsity caliber. But, whether they were stars or beginners all of them were getting a lot of real enjoyment and benefit out of it. At midseason first place was held jointly by the teams captained by Treece, Spengler, and Hart. As' the season advanced the play became more polished and the rivalry keener. ark horses began to menace the leaders. The teams of Mohr and Ostrander began upsetting the old dope bucket and knocking the leaders right and left. It happened that the final game of the schedule was played between the teams of Mohr and Spengler who were tied for first place. Each team had been defeated once and both entered the game with their full strength and at their best form of the season. The game was a thriller from start to finish. Spengler's team enjoyed a 12 to 7 lead at the half and a 3-point lead with only a minute to play. It looked as if it were his game. But Mohr's team in a desperate rally caged two baskets to win out by the scoreiof 19 to 18. The final ranking of the leaders at the end of the season were Mohr, first: Speng- ler, second: Treece and Ostrander, third, with Hart and Garber, close on their heels. The members of Mohr's championship team were rewarded with bronze medals in recognition of their splendid showing. This spring the men are playing intramural playground ball, tennis, and perhaps golf. We believe that our aims have been accomplished, even beyond our highest hopes. We do not know that Bowling Green had its greatest year in intramural athletics. Over ninety percent of the men students participated in one or more activities. Interest in sports has been stimulated, much varsity material has been uncovered, and all have derived pleasure and benefi from their participation in the numerous intramural activities. May intramural continue to grow at Bowl- ing Green State College. Om' Humlrml Eighly-Ibm' .fz..,,. ....-.....

A. are truly key letters that unlock happy memories for hundreds of graduates of Bowling Green College? W. A. A. sports have added color and richness to college days. Some of the lirmest friend- ships were made on the playing fields where W. A. A. girls met for friendly competition, for there existed a free and easy comradeship that could not be matched in any other college activity. In after college years how often we long for that feeling of exhilaration that fol- lowed a fast soccer game in the keen November air or that sense of well being after play in the warm spring sunshine. Women of Bowling Green, hold high the standards of W. A. A. throughout the years! Let not the press of inactive duties rob you of that joyous and health giving play habit. CAROLYN SHAW. Recreation is important in the college girl's daily schedule to stimulate sound mental and physical vigor which is ne- cessary to the successful and efficient student. The Women's Athletic Association aims that each girl shall develop an ath- letic hobby--a hobby so intriguing that it will be carried on through life. H. M. HOUGH. One I-Iumlrml Eigbly-tix Hockey HE hockey season of 1929 was a very successful one regardless of the fact that bad weather interrupted many plans made for various games. During the course of the season there were eleven games played in the tournament besides the final game between picked teams from the dormitories and the town. This game was a victory over mother nature as well as over the town team. as the match was played in four kinds of weather-rain. sleet, fine snow and a blinding snow storm. The final score was 4-2 in favor of the dormitories and every girl on the team vowed ,it was an appropriate way to end the season. November 19. The Physical Education Department has done much to make hockey one of the favorite out- door sports. Under the very capable leadership of Dorothy Decker the season began immediately after school started and continued until the early part of November. It is an opportunity to be outside and affords plenty of exercise besides offering a chance to form closer contacts and friendships among the girls. Rosy cheeks are the result of this vig- orous exercise in such weather. Soccer Under the leadership of Helen Kessmar the soccer season began as soon as we had concluded the hockey season. When the weather was bad we could se th girls. dressed warmly in woolen caps and sweaters. playing soccer, and having a great time. Soccer is a game played with the feet. shoulders and even the head. The girls are most adept at heading the ball. The soccer season is not as long as the hockey season but nevertheless it is very interesting. Basketball 1 The basketball season began directly after Christmas vacation under the efhcient leadership of Marjorie McElhaney. There were seven advanced and four beginning basketball teams playing in the women's intramural games this year. The teams were known as North. South. Wiliams and Shatzel. Each of these teams fought for the championship. South took first place since it remained undefeated throughout the year. On March 19 the season was brought to a close by a public contest in the women's gym- nasium. The first game was a contest between the winning beginner's team and the lowest scored advanced team. During intermission a very interesting and novel game was played. This was called Society Basketball . The players in this game were ladies in evening dress and they were ably assisted by a butler and a maid. The big attraction of the evening was the game staged between a select team from the dormi- tories and one from the town team. This was very interesting and finally the dormitory team reigned victorious. Hvifcing i This sport is one which carries on at all times throughout the year. If you should chance to tour the roads of Bowling Green you no doubt would see several young ladies dressed in walking clothes enjoying their tramp. In order to receive W. A. A. points for hiking there must be at least two girls hiking together. There are certain mapped out hikes which the girls may follow or the girls may choose their own trail. But they must not hike on the Dixie , That is one rule which is greatly stressed. Lucille Park had charge of hiking this year. Om' Humlrt-tl Eigbly-revert WTAA. Atherton, Beins, Bowman.

W. A. A. slogans are: Play for play's sake and A team for every girl and every girl on a team. A competition is carried on in all sports throughout the year between teams from the North and South sides of town, with Court Street and Wal- lace Avenue the dividing lines. This makes a very interesting division. Every student who comes out for a sport is placed on a team representing her residence group. Teams then play off a series of games for the cham- pionship in that sport. The purposes of the Women's Athletic Association are to promote interest in all sports and physical activity for all women of the college as a means of promoting physical efii- ciency and developing a high degree of sportsmanship, school and class spirit. There is a regular meeting of the association each month of the school year. At the meetings there is a busi- ness meeting and a social meeting. Letters and honors are awarded not for winning but for taking part, be- ing skillful, showing loyalty to the team, being sportsmanlike and enjoy- ing the game. When the student has won 300 points she receives a W. A. A. letter, 600 points, a chev- ron, 900 a double chevron, 1200, the college letter, B. G. and 1800 a W. A. A. gold pin.

Four to five o'clock daily is the hour of these games and sports. Everybody has a chance to play and will earn some points. The first sport which we have in the fall is hockey. When this season is over soccer fol- lows immediately. Then we have basketball. In the spring we have track and field, baseball, tennis and archery. We also have hiking and this may be done at any time throughout the year. This year many emblems and points have been won. The college letters have been awarded to Mary M. Miller. Isabelle Wagner. Dorothy Decker, Pearl Urschalitz and Helen Kessmar. OFFICERS President .......,. Mary M. Miller Vice-President ....

The courts for paddle tennis are marked off in the gym and there is a net stretched across the courts. The girls play with rubber balls and little paddles. If you have never seen a game of paddle tennis you don't know what you are missing. As soon as the weather is nice enough in the spring the girls play their tennis outside, Usually there is a tournament planned which makes the game even more interesting. Eileen Perrin was head of tennis the first semester and when she graduated Louise McMahon was chosen in her place. Annual Women is Field Day HE spirit of women's athletics in our college is expressed by the slogans, Play for play's sake and A team for every girl and every girl on a team. We believe that competition is the soul of athletics but do not endorse the highly specialized competition where winning is made the paramount issue. The Field Day of 1929 was more of a Play Day than the old type of track and field competition, and was the climax of a play program that had been carried on all spring. North, South, Williams, and Shatzel had decided upon its best players for the events of Field Day and sixty girls took part in the games, which consisted of Tennis, Archery, Baseball. 50-yard dash, 65-yard low hurdles, base running Relay, Throw and Catch Relay and the Trip Relay. The events were not all given equal points in the scoring system but were scaled according to their importance and time spent in preparation. Baseball ranked highest with 15 points for first place: tennis, archery, dash and hurdles ranked second with 10 points. And the three relays, whose players had spent no time in preparation. ranked third with 5 points for winning. Every team won some events but Williams scored the highest number of points and won the day. Results: Tennis Won by Gertrude Fries, South: archery won by Charlotte Wolcott, Shatzel: 50-yard dash won by Mae Norris. South: 65-yard hurdles won by Virginia Smith, North, in 10 3X5 seconds breaking her old record of ll seconds: baseball, two games were played. first place won by Williams. Doro- thy Decker, captain: second place, North, Nellie Burditt, captain: third, Shatzel. Isabel Wagner, captain: fourth. South, Corinne Burkett, captain. Ten trips, throw and catch, and base running relays were all won by Williams. Competitions in running, high jump, discus, and javelin throwing were held prior to Field Day and two new records were set. Javelin, old record 63' ll , broken by Bernadine Beins at 76' Z . Discus, old record 68' ll , broken by Coila Flora at 76' ll . A point system has been worked out, so that every girl has a chance to make points toward that coveted prize--the B. G. letter. In this system any number of points from 5 to 50 may be won in each event. The total number awarded any girl in track is 100 points. Our motto for this year is Better and Greater and with all the W. A. A. girls working we hope to set new records for our college and organization. One Humlrvrl Nincfy f5f.3f.3 f div ,NY X I .A N, . Om' H ll mlrnl NflIl'fJ'-f wo The Vzlsit of Governor Cooper OR the first time in the history of our institution. the highest executive of ' our state visited Bowling Green State College on November 10, 1929. our state visited Bowling Green State College on November IO, 1929. A long entourage of cars of the people of Bowling Green met Governor Cooper on the Dixie Highway near Perrysburg at about eleven o'clock and escorted him to our city. , The Governor's car was met at Court stret by the college band and escorted to the campus. When the college circle was reached, the band played several selections while Governor Cooper stood on the steps of the Administration building and waved cordial greetings to the people who had assembled to catch a glimpse of him. After posing with Dr. Williams for pictures. and shaking hands with citi- zens and kiddies, Mr. Cooper and the official party were escorted to Shatzel Hall where a luncheon was served. The Governor visited several of the college buildings, and. experienced builder that he is, appreciate the fine workmanship which had gone into them and expressed his approval. He also showed a personal interest in the people who had gathered for the occasion. His line personality made an excellent impression upon the people who were privileged to meet him. At one o'clock the college students and many citizens of Bowling Green assembled in the college auditorium where Governor Cooper gave an inspiring talk on the subject of Education. Dr. Williams presided and called upon Dr. H. J. Johnson. of Tontogany. president of the board of trustees of the college. to introduce the Governor. Governor Cooper opened his address by congratulating us upon having become a State College and reminded us that his efforts had helped to make this possible. He also congratulated us upon the fine faculty of which our insti- tution boasts and of the excellent standing which our college has attained during the few short years since its origin. It was gratifying to learn that the educational system of Ohio ranks among the best of the nation. We were reminded that although the percentage of illit- eracy in Ohio is as low as that of almost any other state that even today two percent of our boys and girls do not find access to schools. It is the duty of those of us who are to carry on the educational work of Ohio in the future to reduce this percentage to zero. The Governor reminded us of the huge sums invested by the state for the support of such institutions as ours and encouraged us to make the most of the opportunities which are offered us. In addition to the knowledge which we gain we should develop, during our sojourn at college, such character traits as will best fit us to become leaders of the younger generation. It was called to our minds the fact that many of the better positions, both in. education and in commerce, are now held by men and women who have not yet reached middle-age but who have proved their abilities to take charge of important enterprises. There is a great future open to young people of intelli- gence, education and vision. Governor Cooper's address was interspersed by fine humor and many inter- esting stories. The audience was impressed, not only by his broad knowledge and wide range of interests, but also by his outstanding ability as .a public speaker. His visit will long be remembered as one of the high spots of the past school year. Om' Illlmlrml Nil1r'ly-fbrvv An A-Iumnz' View Mighty ouhs from Iitlle acorns grow O an alumnus of Bowling Green State College the oak probably has more significance than to others. The first view of the campus opens up to the Freshman a picture of stately grandeur as the massive college buildings are framed by powerful oak trees, whose brown stained leaves beckon a friendly welcome to the newcomer. The sturdy oaks shelter him carefully every day of his presence. anxiously watching his advance from the little acorn stage, observing the painstaking efforts of the Big Gardener and his long list of assistants, and inviting the air, rain and sunshine. Four years on the college campus-and a marvelous change is effected. for these little acorns begin to show that they, too, will some day be mighty oaks in the world. Comes graduating day. Goodbye to these great towers of strength. whose knotty limbs have seen the joys and sorrows of the campus, have seen young men and women blossom into man- hood and womanhood, have seen lifelong friendships develop, have seen romance and love grow into the beauty of a home, and have seen trials and tribulations come, only to join a quickly forgotten past. There seems to be something traditional about the campus oaks, which help furnish the fresh green leaves to decorate the platform at Commencement time. It seems that each June they wave regretful farewell to those who say goodbye to the campus to stride forth ambitiously. willing to join the ranks of those who are Bowling Green's staunch bulwarks in the world. Fifteen years of college history were completed last August when the last summer session graduating class had attained the goal it sought in college. The first epoch of Bowling Green State College's history had then become a closed book. for the Fall found a new college born and anxious to join the family. The College of Education, started in 1914 as a small group of 304 students with a faculty of fourteen. using the Armory of the Ohio National Guard in Bowling Green for classrooms and the Methodist Episcopal church for a library. A branch school was maintained in Toledo. The fifteenth year thence found the college well established with a student body of 957 and a faculty of 63. ' That development had taken the school through the most terrible war in history and had seen some of her men shoulder arms in defense of their country. No such trial seems to confront the new College of Liberal Arts which seems destined to become a second mighty oak. In the fifteen years 32,017 students had registered in summer schools, academic terms and extension courses in Bowling Green. Of these 1,990 had gained their goal and joined the ranks of the alumni association. Two hundred and thirty-two had won their degree of Bachelor of Science in Education. A perusal of the records also shows that of the 1.990 graduates. 192 have been men and 1.798 women. Degrees have been conferred upon 116 men and 116 women. The Alumni Association is as yet only a seedling, just beginning to take root in 'the soil of the campus. The officers dream of a future when strength and prominence may bring confi- dence and power to accomplish for the Alma Mater what an Alumni Association can and should do. This year they see a group of over 300 more students gain their end in college-life. They witness again the tender farewell of the oaks as they gently caress the breezes and wave adieu to another class of ambitious young people. This year another welcome is extended to a wonderful graduating class of Bowling Green with the sincere hope that this class will help to bring about the united support of the Alumni Association which is budding slowly but steadily even as the mighty oak.

Om' Hnmln-rl Nirwly-fin' gf! sat, 1.-mga, Lfilnnual Christmas Concert HE last few weeks of the 1929 school year crept at a snail's pace. Finally came the evening of the Christmas concert which marked the beginning of the holiday season. This annual concert is one of the finest achievements of the college music department. The setting for the concert was very unusual. An imitation pipe organ formed the background for the stage. At eight fifteen strains of Adeste Fideles , played by the Brass Quartet invoked the reverent atmosphere. Sixty voices then joined in the melody, and the chorus entered the auditorium singing. Carols from Belgium, United States and Poland were rendered very effec- tively by a quartet, which was composed of Kathryn House, Marie Menz, Howard and Marvin George. The Cantique de Noel by Adam, was given in a very soothing and pleasing manner by the chorus with Margaret Wertz as soprano soloist. One of the outstanding numbers on the program was a Cantata, Yule- Tide by Gaston Barch. Professor J. W. Carmichael took the part of the reader and Kathryn Sams, soprano soloist, Roy V. I-Iilty, tenor soloist and Courtney Wilcox, baritone soloist. The final number was the Hallelujah Chorus from I-Iandel's Messiah , Its strains seemed to swell and burst in their full force upon the listeners. The recessional was led by the chorus followed by the C1irl's Glee Club. singing. Oh, Little Town of Bethlehem. As they left the auditorium, the glee club members went into the lower hall of the building and favored the audience by singing carols. Their voices had no sooner died on the air when echoing strains pealed forth from the upper story of the building. They fell upon the listeners below like a beautiful benediction. We left feeling that we had witnessed something sacred, and were better prepared to enter the real spirit of Christmas. Om' H ll mlrwf Nilll'f.1'-Xi.K' H M S. Pina ore HE music department can well be proud of the work it has done this year. The comic opera, I-I. M. S. Pinafore , which the Phi Sigma Mu music fraternity presented in March at the high school auditorium, was most happily received. For weeks before the presentation posters and excited comments led one to believe that the coming event was no ordinary one. Those who actually attended the performance were not disappointed. The deck of Her Majesty's ship formed the setting for the action, while a mixed chorus of sailors, cousins, and aunts filled the stage with color. Kathryn Sams. as Josephine, and Wililam Gaugh, music instructor in the Bowling Green public schools, scored heavily in their many numbers. Donald Armstrong was a fine Dick Deadeye , stiff leg and all. Marvin George, as the Captain who swore a big, big D, and Donald Lusk as the pompous Sir Joseph Porter gained much praise, as did Ellena Percy and Maxine Powell in their respective roles. Sidney Baron, Courtney Wilcox. and I-lollas Dindot were prominent among the sailors. Many townspeople aided in organizing an orchestra for the affair. The lighting effects and makeup were secured through the cooperation of the Gold Mask Drama Fraternity, while the costumes were secured from the Sullivan Studios of Columbus. The accompanist was Isabel Gunn, whose work was highly appreciated. Mr. M. C. McEwen, who directed the opera with the assistance of Mrs. 'Irene Canary-Mooers and Miss Marian Hall. should be encouraged by the suc- cess of this charming production to attempt further presentations of this type next year. Om' IIN mlrml NiIll'f,j'-Kl'l 'vu The College of Lilneraf' Arts N 1929 the General Assembly passed an act changing the name of our Alma Mater from Bowling Green State Normal School to Bowling Green State College, and authorizing the board of trustees to establish and maintain courses leading to the degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science. As a result of this legislation our Alma Mater is now organized into two co-ordinate col- leges, the College of Education and the College of Liberal Arts. Each of these colleges is in charge of a dean and both are under the general administration of the president of the college. The courses in the new College of Liberal Arts are planned to meet the needs of two classes of students. The primary purpose of the college is to provide four year courses leading to the degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science. for students who desire a general training in the broad fields of history, literature, philosophy, mathematics, science and of the ancient and modern languages. In order to insure this breadth of training all students in the first two years are required to complete a definite number of semester hours in each of four groups or fields of study: and to prevent' too great scattering and insure thorough schol- arship they are required to center their work around a major and a minor subject. The College of Liberal Arts also provides preliminary training for those who intend to enter professional courses in law, medicine, dentistry, theology, engineering, library science, etc. Many such professional courses require gradua- tion from an arts college as a prerequisite for entrance, and the majority require a a minimum of two years of general college training. The needs of all such stu- dents can now be satisfied by a proper selection of courses from the four year curricula offered in the College of Liberal Arts. A number of students now enrolled in the College of Education and several former students and graduates have manifested an interest in a combined Arts- Education course leading to the two degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science in Education. By a careful selection of free electives it is possible to satisfy the combined requirements for the two degrees within a period of nine semesters or the equivalent in summer school attendance. Those who already hold the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education can. in many cases, satisfy the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts by attending an additional semester or three summer terms. In spite of the fact that there was little opportunity for announcement of the new offerings before the opening of college last fall, sixty students have enrolled in the new college during the current year. With the increased offerings next year' it is epected that this number will be largely increased. The greater service that the present student body and the larger body of alumni and former students can render to their Alma Matxer at the present time is to give wide publicity to the fact that Bowling Green State College is now in a position to render high class service in the fields of liberal arts and pre-professional training as well as in education: and that as a state supported institution it can offer this service at a minimum expense to the student. Every present and former student who is interested in the progress of his Alma Mater should make it is business to see that the high school graduates in his home community are informed of the opportunities at Bowling Green, and that our college gets its share of the students interested in liberal educaion, as well as he majority of those who are preparing to teach. In a very few years the enrollment in the new College of Liberal Arts should equal that in the College of Education if we all work to- gether for a bigger and better Bowling Green Stale College. J.

Suitcases and schedules and strange corridors haunt the dazed Freshman's dreams after a hectic day of getting settled in his new home. The timid Freshman runs the gauntlet of his new profs at the annual reception given in his honor. As usual the boys form a huddle near the door, while the girls sit in rows along the wall. Only a few are brave enough to dance. There is a wild scramble for chapel seats: bewildered Freshmen wan- der up and down the aisles. The president gives them a welcoming address to soothe their homesick souls. Rain vetoes the boniire meeting planned for the Y. W. C. A. Gypsy Party tonight. Nothing daunted, the girls retreat to the women's gym, gypsy trimmings and all, for some lively fun. OCTOBER The Emerson Literary Society holds its first meeting. The organi- zation is starting off with a bang. The Phi Sigma Mu gives a formal dinner. This music fraternity is growing rapidly. The Toledo Club holds its first meeting. The Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. make a noble effort to mix the male and female population of the college by giving a college lVlixer . The huddle near the door and the rows along the wall diminish noticeably. Here we have the first regular meeting of the Huron County Club. The matron of Shatzel Hall is chosen an honorary member. The Emerson Literary Society gives a program on the subject of Autumn . Quite a suitable subject. If you see any queerly dressed students headed for the college admin- istration building, you'll know they're all girls on their way to the Girls' Prom. It is a treat to hear an address by a noted person like Will Durant. No doubt there will be greater demand in the library for his Story of Philosophy . The Delhi neophytes receive their second degree. We'll bet they look sleepy and haggard tomorrow. The first rush party given by the Seven Sisters has an interesting Italian setting.

These instruments carry with them the feeling of completeness and do not suggest the idea of continuation. In the past, teaching as a career held very little attractiveness and was in many cases only a stepping stone to another calling. The tenure under these conditions was short and the inducements to continue in the work did very little to encourage its extension. Until very recently, the average length of service of those engaged in teaching has been 6M years. With so short a period, the necessity for keep- ing in training presented no challenge either to the teacher or to the training institution. Conditions are changing and it would seem that this change would add greatly to the making of teaching a profession. The low average of tenure will be greatly extended and the vital problem of the teacher's adaptability to chang- ing social conditions will necessitate the acceptance of a program of re-education. Many factors are contributing to the extension of the period of teaching service, among which are the following: 1. The Growth of Tenure Laws. The short term of contract coupled with the uncertainty of reemployment has caused the passage of laws protecting the teacher's position. The movement began with New Jersey in 1910, and has spread until at present fourteen states have enacted such laws. These provide that after a certain probationary period, generally of two or three years, removal can be made only for immorality, incompetency, insubordination or wilful neglect of duty. The result is that practically no teachers are so dismissed. 2. Retirement Systems. In order to provide for an independent old age, teachers have been compelled to seek more remunerative vocations, thus leaving the profession after a mere apprenticeship period. Industry had long provided for the faithfulness of employees, through a form of retirement after the period of effective usefulness had passed. The city of Chicago began such a system for its teachers in 1893. This was followed by certain eastern states, such as New Jersey in 1896, and Rhode Island in 1907. Ohio provided a system of retirement for her teachers in 1919. Today state systems are found in twenty-two states and the District of Columbia. Five other states provide for reirement systems in specified communities and in ten other states local cities have made such provision. Some form of retirement is found in all but ten of our states. In a great portion of the laws governing these systems, the maxi- mum age for retirement is seventy years or after thirty-six years of service. Voluntary retirement at younger ages, under certain conditions, or for disability, is allowed. V 3. Increase in Salary. The struggle to make a living is always vital and is a determining factor in any vocation or profession. The salaries that have been paid to teachers have been strikingly low and because of this many have hesitated to enter the calling and others, after serving a few years and seeing no oppor- Two H ll ml rnl T wi-I uc tunity for advancement, sought other vocations. Much encouragement has been given teachers in the past twenty years in this respect. The average salary paid to teachers in the United States increased from S512 in 1913 to 31,277 in 1926. It is well-known that salaries in the larger cities are the highest and will always attract our most ambitious teachers. The holding power of the salaries paid in these cities will always be a factor in determining length of tenure. In 1928-29, sixty-seven of the cities of over 100,000 population paid average sal- aries as follows: Elementary teachers, S2,063: Junior High teachers, 32,3485 and Senior High teachers 32,680 These salaries will tend to attract and to held for a longer period service. The tendencies are rather universal for the increase rathr than the decrease of teachers' salaries. 4. Other Factors. A number of factors such as, Cal the increased social prestige given to the profession of teaching: Cbl the increased period of pre- service preparation: and Ccj the encouragement given to married women teachers to remain in and to return to the profession will contribute materially to the extension of teaching tenure. 1 , Dr. Ross L. Finney remarks that there is always a striking parallelism be- tween any given civilization and the educational system that functions in it. No period of time in history of equal length has made such rapid changes as has the past thirty years. The teachers retiring in 1930 began their work when the maximum speed of the automobile was six miles an hour. At least twenty- five percent of our present vocations were unknown when these same folks received their permit to teach. The school ceases to contribute its constructive share to social progress unless the teachers are progressive, alert and responsive to the new duties and obligations that each new day brings. The educational vocabulary of 1930 would have been a strange tongue to the novice teacher of 1900. Present-day literature, methods and procedure demand a new language and understanding. Neither the responsibility of the College nor the duty of the graduate towards the profession ceases with this Commencement, but the new age will call forth a program of re-education, whereby the teacher will not only be well trained, when the profession is entered, but will maintain the maximum degree of adaptability throughout the extended period of service. WAI.TER A, ZAUGG. U Two llu Illl' rml 7'lIil'fl'l'll Was Ir cz Dream? Who hath Iain alone to hear the wild goose cry? UITE frequently, there comes a night when one has a restless sleep. Despite the fact that countless numbers of sheep jump the fence of a heated imagination, slumber comes but fitfully in their wake. In that elusive land of drowsing and waking one finds oneself reliving the incidents of the past, seeing again in clear perspective people and events which have been a part of the day's history. Such an experience was to be mine on the occasion of my return visit to my beloved Alma Mater, Bowling Green State College, twenty-three years after my graduation. When I had entered the charmingly appointed bed-room of Theta's new sorority home I had anticipated a pleasant night's rest. What bet- ter sleep-inducing lullaby could one have than the music of the giant oaks and the little running fountain outside? Back once more. at the college where I had spent so many happy days, my dreams would indeed be sweet. The droning chatter of the leaves was wafting me into the hollow bigness of the first drowse: my thoughts drifted idly back and forth between reality and dream. Impressions of the day just passed through, slipped vaguely into my consciousness and as vaguely out again. At times they stood in sharp relief for my inspection: again they lost themselves in the mist of half sleep. Always they laid soft velvet lingers on the drowsy imagination. My mind hung sus- pended as though I had quaffed the poppy drink of oblivion. Yet voices out of the stillness brought back vanished memories: happily remembered faces again wore the smile of welcome. Bit by bit the whole of the day's joyous experiences was pieced together. Once again I loiter along the paths of my beloved campus. It is the college's fortieth birthday, and I am again the busy, happy student. My entrance to Bowling Green by way of the air route is a far cry from the days of steam-car transportation. Alighting at the airport on South Main Street, I walk the old familiar paths to the campus. As I approach the college I marvel at the perspective in the distance. Looming some one hundred fifty feet against the sky. a ghostly white tower points upward like the dome of a cathedral. What can this wonderful structure be? Later my curiosity is satis- tied in a way far exceeding my dreams. . A cogent force drives me to walk faster. Another surprise awaits me. When I reach the railroad tracks on Court Street. I feel I am entering an earthly Paradise, where June resplendently shines forth in her lovely array of Howers again the green of sacerdotal elms. On the left of this luxuriantly shaded avenue rise brick and frame sorority houses of imposing structure. Forimng a right angle to these and facing Thurston Street are fraternity houses of decidedly masculine character. Well-kept yards add an air of hominess to these buildings. Yes, I recall, I had received letters from the active chapter of my sorority telling of the fine new sorority and fraternity houses erected since nationals had accepted our local fraternities and sororities. Tim Hnmlrml F0ll7',l't'll A building commanding in its beauty is to be seen on the right. It is a veritable Parthenon in its symmetrical proportions. From its imposing position and architecture I judge it must be the chapel or auditorium. An impelling curiosity drives me to stop for a moment and drink in its great beauty. The beauty of the Doric colonnades and the sculptored frieze of Phidias enrapture me. The simple magnificence of the interior with its seating capacity of two thousand is quite in keeping with the outward grandeur. Just as I am reluctantly leaving this loveliness. the silvery-throated chimes with their message of beauty greet my ear. Following a beautiful custom, Junior girls belonging to an honorary society play the chimes, each evening at five o'clock. For a moment I lose myself in their ethereal melody. There is no one to disturb me in this first glimpse of loveliness. It is a thing set apart. A whisper or a movement would spoil it all. The very atmosphere seems laden with sweet mystery and about all hangs hauntingly-sweet memories. A desire to see the rest of the campus pulls me finally from the spot. for I must hurry on before dark sets in. As I take a last furtive glance at the chapel, I see an imposing ,white building behind the auditorium and facing Thurston Street. This Liberal Arts Building, successfully rivaling the Greek architectural idea of the auditorium, is indeed a lovely complement to its silent partner. It is an accepted fact that education is no longer a preparation for life but is life itself. Association through extra-curricular activities as well as com- panionship within formal school walls makes a normal, complete person. Bowling Green State College ever progressive has vitalized this belief. Before me looms the Activities Building. the home of the club rooms. a swimming pool, a completely fitted kitchen with delightful dining-rooms, a fine dance floor. and complete gymnasium equipment for women students. But time is speeding on! In one-half hour I must attend an alumni dinner of Phi Beta Kappa, the old Book and Motor Society. I glimpse here and there a familiar face and yet a feeling of lineliness grips me. Although I am surrounded by well-known scenes, I feel myself a' dweller of the Silent Places. I-Iow impressive seems the library grown mellow in the service of ques- tioning youth. The sunshine playing about its ivy-clad walls and leafy green of the trees traces an intricate pattern upon the grass beneath. Inside are stored treasures of wisdom from which one can drink renewed life and learn that which makes for fineness of living. My whole college life, its joys and troubles, pass before my tear-dimmed eyes. I am seeing myself a student again. looking for the first time upon the Administration Building bearing the letters 1913. I am again the curious and timid Freshman entering its portals of learning. I toil and play-make friends, share associations, meet difficulties. Each moment is full. Voices of the past speak to me, remind me of the days spent with Tacitus and Shakespeare. Has it been twenty-three years since I bid you Au Revoirn? It seems but yesterday. Ah, again I see the white tower that I perceived in the distance. From this point of view the huge ghost has become an observation tower. Q Two 1'lllll4ll'4'Kl liiflvru Walking toward Ridge Street, I see on the corner a fine building which I remember was definitely begun when I left school. This splendid hall is the recitation-home for the commercial, the music, and Home Economics' depart- ments. I-Iow interesting this stately structure must be to those whose work centers about it. Covering the former site of the football field, a huge stadium stands. Such a fine building makes Bowling Green students indeed proud to welcome teams from all the universities of the big league. I come to a suddent halt as I turn west up Ridge Street-where am I?-- there has been a great change. The two old dormitories which were the scene of many of my happiest memories are as they were, but keeping them company are now two other fine buildings. Finally my mind reacts normally and I com- prehend that these two other buildings are the new dormitories which complete a beautiful quadrangle. An imposing dormitory on each corner of the block makes a picture of balance and grace which pleases the eye. As' I glance across the grove, in the center my eye falls upon a wonderful edifice. Am I in Rome or in Bowling Green? Do I not hear ai voice cry out of the stillness of the woods, I Ave, Caesar imperator Morituri te salutant. ' Here is a true Roman amphitheater and no effort has been spared to make it Roman--Roman in grandeur of scale, Roman in richness of detail, and Roman in the very stones which form the walls and columns. The stress laid on ancient Rome suggests that the architect had deliberately intended the theater to be a perpetual reminder to students of Bowling Green State College of the great nation which contributed so much to the civilization of the ages. On every hand are evidences ofa concentrated attempt to surround growing youth with its great heritage of learning. After dinner I am carried off by a group of friends to attend a play given by a play company of wide repute which I understand is our former! Gold Mask Club , now enjoying a national fraternal drama membership. The highly complimentary remarks heard on every side about this histrionic group are well deserved. The excellence of the acting, the artistic beauty and simplicity of setting, the quiet elegance of this Temple of Muses mark the type of work as the finest. Here acting as the intelligent interpretation of life has been raised to its highest level. The play is over at eleven o'clock and we sally forth to the Observatory. There we enjoy an hour of wonder. The whole scene is worthy of the brush of a modern Rembrandt-the giant muzzle thrust out through the dimness of the arched roof and throbbing as it moves against the rotation of the earth, below it the throng of knowledge seekers. The mind is insensitive indeed that does not hear eternal voices here. This marks the end of my travels. For one glorious day I have been an integral part of the advancement of my college. Joyous over this great privilege I find myself within the hospitable walls of Theta's Sorority House. Morning finds me neither listless nor wearied: rather the impressions of the night have irrevocably recreated the happy memories of my home-coming. ' CLETUS MARIE ECKEL.

The stands were as crowded as a sophomore's runabout.

W ,g Bowling Green State College HE Bowling Green State College offers superior advantages to students for higher training at minimum expense. The faculty. physical plant. equip- ment, and other facilities meet the most exacting standards. V f DEGREE COURSES Beginning with the year 1929-30, the' Bowling Green State College consists of two coordinate divisions: a Division of Liberal Arts with courses leading to the A. B. and B. S. degrees: and a Division of Education with courses in regular and special subjects leading to the B. S. degree in Education. ELEMENTARY COURSES The College will continue to emphasize the training of Elementary Teachers and expects soon to add to its two-year courses standard degree courses in the field of primary and intermediate work. . SPECIAL PROGRAMS OF STUDY Students wishing to prepare for the study of a profession such as Engineer- ing, Law, Medicine or Journalism may profitably complete two years of work in the State College. ' STUDENT LIFE All the recognized student activities such as athletics for men and women, women's league, debating, dramatics, etc., are prominently featured. A high- class entertainment course is provided by a committee of the faculty and the social program is in charge of a joint-committee of faculty and students. The institu- tion takes pride in the personal attention it aims to give its students and strives in every way to promote high ideals of scholarship and character. Fall semester begins September 15, 1930. For further information address, H. B. WILLIAMS President.
