PARKER Alumne Greeting to Their Alma Mater ill xii For eighteen years there has annually been added to our numbers. those who have come within the walls of Buena Vista. and after their studying a few of the great lessons of life. have gone out to solve their problems as they come. XVe each tried to grasp a little of the meaning of the motto. Education for Service. and each iinbibed of that spirit of help- fulness and sterling Christian character that has been so freely offered by the men and women who have given the best in their lives that Buena Vista might live and prosper. At this time. when the IQII Rudder. representing those whose labors, talent. and brain have contributed so much that is true and noble, to the tradition and history of our Alma Mater, is placed before us by those sterling young people. the Enieralds. the fklunini wish to be again remembered in 'varsity halls. and at her councils and tiresides. The Alumni still foster the ideas. which they then learned. and in a world of drudgery and business cares. have learned from her not to be like those who NVould judge all nature by her feet of clay, without the will to lift their eyes to see her godlilce head clothed in spiritual sunshine and touching other worlds. To our Alina Hater then, we now send these greetings. an-'l they come straight from the hearts of friends who know some- thing of what the struggle and the saeritiee has been. May the talent and the genius of the Enieralcls. as here set forth. be an ainen of greater and better things for the old 'Varsity. and an in- spiration for the new administration that has just been inaugur- ated, is the hope and prayer of your Most sincere friends President Alumni Association.

Chronicles of the Class of 1911 -G 1907-1908 D- On the lifll of September. 1907. we numbered twenty-Your and composed the Freshman class of B. V. C. for that year. XVe were as green as the greenest. which the Sophomores realized. as will be seen later on. NVhy we ever came to college was a mystery to ourselves and to many others. Some oi us were a long time losing the air of what I don't know ain't worth know- ing. XVe passed through the prescribed English with many protests. Mathematics was taken seriously. which fully prevent- ed our having' the dread disease l'lunkitis at the end ol the semester. In fact. that disease did not break out violently until the next year. XVe organized our class as soon as possible. Every one wanted an ofnee or was desperately hghting against having one thrust upon him. Then we chose our colors one evening and stole the Sophomore banner after our meeting. The next morn- ing upon the display ol both, the Sophs bore down upon us with force that knew no bounds. Wfhat a tight ensued! The can- tured Hag was not damaged, however much our class colors were humiliated and trampled in the dust. But conquered we were not. And then one morning every Freshman awoke to lind his abiding place decked with posters. declaring that the Sophs had discovered a new species at B. V. and would name it Emeralds, and hence- forth we were known as such. Nameless we were not. and our value rose in our own estimation. Our social record for the year was not elaborate: in fact. our age hardly permitted it. However. we did try to entertain the 1 juniors that year to a wagon ride that ended in a most enjoyable oyster stew. so we heard! Later in june they gave us an early morning' party and fed us on such food as is prescribed for children of delicate natures and few years. During our Freshman year. we experienced a deep sorrow in the death of our leader and revered classmate. Elmer Goodmiller. Although our acquaintance with him had been brief. we had learned to honor and love him. Through the years his memory shall always be a sweet inspiration toward what is best. highest and noblest in life. Thus ends a year of joy and sorrow: a year of memory sweet. The crowning event of our first year at Buena Vista was Tree day of Commencement week. Wie appeared in' colors appro- priate 'to our name and in Costumes suited to OL11' extreme youth. The entire week, a revelation to our inexperienced eyes. drew to a close. giving us much'joy and great hopes for our Sophomore year. -il 1908-1909 D- The Emeralds came back as Sophomores. jubilant. yet sor- rowful. for six of our old members had seen lit not to return. Two of the girls were teaching school. and one went to a col- lege in the southern part of the state. One boy had gone to Ames. one to Ohio university. and the other started to Ames, but for some reason did not stay. XfVe suppose he preferred the farm. But we welcomed gladly one who came from Morningside college, making our class the lucky thirteen. To be sure we only had two boys among eleven girls, but that was not a calam- Wig fi ity. Such sought aiter C?j boys you never saw. and such happy ones. for they could have five or six girls at once. Oh. we were indeed a jolly bunch! The Freshmen seemed so young and childish that we thought it best to delay giving them their name until they had learned the ways of the world a little better. But they became excited. fearing that we were not going to give them a name. so they posted bills asking where the Sophs were. They showed their youth in the extravagant way in which they spent their money. Such scads of bills as they did scatter around. Wfhy. we gathered them up by the hundreds to save until this year. For their ignor- ance was again shown in neglecting to put our date on the bills. What we did with the bills will be told later. XVell, they wanted to know where we were. and we let them know, by also posting some bills. great big green ones. so they could see them without injuring their eyes. But from the expression on some of their faces the next morning. they must not have been quite large enough. Anyhow. something seemed to have affected them. These bills gave them some rules whereby to govern their con- duct during their Freshman year. but the children were unable to understand them. and their dictionaries were studied more that week than ever before or since. X1Ve had now come to see our wisdom in not giving them their name. They were indeed too young. One night at class-meeting we decided that we were tired of school. and would like a rest. so without telling a soul. we sneaked, and spent the day in the Tall Timbers at Sioux Rapids. Such a day as we did spend. day-dreaming by the river while Felix visited the city, watching the dam, which was very pretty. and then climbing hills and hills. until at last on top of one we built a fire and had dinner. It seemed to us that the trees, resplendent in their warm autumn hues, had never been so beau- tiful. Toward evening we wandered back to town where we waited lor our train. XfVe were not disappointed on reaching home to find the dear little Freshmen all there to meet ns. They and their sister-class. the Juniors. were armed with bandages galore. W'e thought perhaps they were afraid some ol us had iallen in the river or down hill. and were prepared to care for us. but this did not seem to be their intention. They very politely and lovingly Gil QFD blindfolded ns. tied our hands. and proceeded to lead us toward town. By the way. their class alone. without the Juniors and other college and town-friends whom they had called in to aid them, was more than twice the size of ours. So what could a poor Sophomore do but take the joke for what it was worth. They led us through town. and out to the Dorm. where we were let lose to tind our way home. W'e were a tired. angry. and yet happy class that night, ior they could not rob us of our day at Sioux Rapids. however much they would have liked to. Wie decided that. for the infants' first Christmas present. we would give them their name. 'We thought they were getting about old enough to appreciate it. and understand its meaning. So one night at a Booster meeting. we presented them with their name. B Minor. and gave them a dear little piano on which to sound their key-note. If they had just kept on the key, all would have been well. but for some reason they have Hatted terribly some- times. They all immediately began taking lessons. but it seems impossible for most of them to learn music. Taken as a whole they are a most unmusical class, and the discords are something unbearable. Soon after Christmas one of our number was offered the po- sition ol city-librarian. and she left our ranks to become a wage- earner. In March we elected our annual board, which has been busily at work this year. Sometime in the spring the Y. M. C. A. gave a carnival. and the hit of the evening was the Sophomore minstrel show. Such fun as we did have. practicing for thisg such lun as it was blacking up. and such fun UD getting the black off afterwards. Anyone wishing advice concerning the use of grease-paint inquire of the Emeralds. . Later in the spring we came to the conclusion that the col- lege building needed cleaning. and as a start. we Sophomore girls resolved to clean the ladies' cloak-room. So at 4:40 one evening you might have seen pails, brooms and scrub-brushes making their way toward the college building. and the old cloak-room was given such a scrubbing as it had never seen before. One night we were entertained at 6:30 dinner by Miss Foster and Miss Parker. at the Foster home. 'Our class-flower, the Shasta daisy. was used in many original ways. and a genuine good time was had. Lessons in making eyes were given. which some of the girls have found very useful since, The climax of this eventful year was reached when we ap- peared on Tree day with our daisy-chain. The girls. all dressed in white. car1'ied the chain. and the boys. in white-duel: suits. bore a 1911 banner. 1Ve bade farewell to our Sophomore year with many plans for the junior annual. -il 1909-1910 D- Our Junior year! XVith what joys and sorrows have its days been fraught! NVhat deep psychological problems have we delved in. and what long, weary hours have we spent. poring over the never-ending lists of English reading! Some of our number have already become addicted to the use of spectacles. and several others are seriously contemplating following the example set them. To be sure specs add a distinguished air to one's appearance. but dignity is the last thing desired by the Jolly juniors. fAsk the student council.J A brilliant idea, which caused us. last year. to preserve some precious docu1nents, was poking its head up from the bottom of our Pandora's box of troubles, again in October. How care- fully had those bills been hidden all through the long months, and how they clamored to be allowed once more to come into light and air and publicity. We could stand it no longer. so October 15. by the hands of our staunch Freshmen allies. once more did they appear on walks. fences and walls. 'What blaclc and thunderous countenances did the poor Sophies wear that day. But what could they say? They could only suffer in silence, and bitterly repent their thoughtless Freshman prank, which now brought them to grief. for they realized that they were caught in a trap they had set for themselves. But. of course. as they said, they are not to blame. because the Sophs are tame. they are just made that way. They would not even touch the bills they once had handled so tenderly, but left them abroad. where even now. those who run may read. Of course the annual has lain heaviest of all things upon our minds this year. To publish the Rudder. ready cash is necessary, so to supply some of this indispensable commodity. we decided to have some sort of a stunt. After numerous class-meetings and much discussion, we decided to give a program. and a chafing-dish supper. followed by a candy sale, on the evening of October 23. It turned out to be a grand success and so encouraged us. that we decided to try again. - Our next plan was 'to sell popcorn at the foot-ball games. Accordingly, we bravely scorched our faces over hot stoves, and iilled sacks with the corn. baskets with the sacks. and subsequently, our pockets with niclcles. Wie did not have enough corn to go around, however, for two of our fair classmates had been so ab- sorbed in their Freshman CHumanj nature-study.class. that they entirely forgot to pop their share. but we did not reprove them. for. of course. we have their greatest good at heart. The next event in our year occurred on Nevember IO. when one of our former classmates entertained us all at dinner on Seneca street. After a most delicious dinner. a genuine good time ensued. .-X most solemn and important event came near to form- ing a little climax to such an evening. but at the last moment. the contracting parties withdrew. and so we are still. TEN. Qf course we did not mean to stay late. but a terrible rain- storm came up unexpectedly. and as none of us had umbrellas we had to wait till it was over. As it was. we got home Nearly. In December came the first Collegiate party and the Tropical Isle. and numerous other events into which the Juniors entered with their usual vi:n. After Christmas vacation. we all came back enthusiastic and ready for work. and on January S, presented Old Sweethearts of Mine in the college chapel. This stunt. too. was a success, as was also the candy sale which followed. The Juniors took advantage of one of the glorious moon- light nights in February and bobbed down to Sulphur Springs to attend revival meetings. The trip was very ordinary. save for one striking event. One of our number seemed desirous of test- ing the strength of the ice in the road. and alighted very suddenly for that purpose. W'hen she was safely back in the sled, she said very little about the ice, but was enthusiastic about comets and stars she had seen. So detailed were her descriptions. in fact. that we decided the astronomers must have been mistaken in the date of Halley's comet. After the services at the church we were entertained by some of our newly-found friends, aud enjoyed it immensely. Ou March I7 the Collegiate Line-up entertained again. at Unger's. and we all had a glorious time. As the time was drawing near for the publication of the Rud- der. Nlarch wasifull of work. class-meetings and discussions. and as our business manager was a victim to an attack of measles, we were still more burdened. On April I. All Fools' day. the Sophomores again showed their ignorance. and their inability to understand the meaning of a place for everything. and everything in its-place. by announc- ing their intention of starting immediately. before this year's volume should be published. to accumulate an annual fund for next year's Rudder. Df course the Emeralds were irritated to say the least. by such outrageous usurpation of their rights. and were not slow in expressing their opinion. The Sophs had a glimpse of the light. but having authority from the faculty. they Hung honor to the winds. and resolved to carry out their plans. regard- less of anyone or anything. The one thing which seemed very strange. however, was the fact that with all their apparent inde- pendence. they were incapable of any original idea. but must needs follow up our Qld Sweetheart entertainment with a similar per- formance. even going so far as to copy our costumes and plan of music. Wie decided that it would never do to allow the Freshmen to attend such reproduction. so we planned a counter attraction. thus relieving them of all responsibility in the matter. A picnic across the lake resulted and. of course. we planned to get back in time for the evenings performance. It was not till Monday. however. that an idea came to us, which was nothing short of an ,inspiration. and some little time was spent in thought before our plans suited us in every detail. VVe were disappointed at receiving regrets from one of the Freshmen. though for a good reason. he assured us. and so we found out later. Tuesday night at 5 o'clock the unsuspecting crowd started. leaving two Juniors and two Freshmen tocome later. Luckily for the Junior girls we have some Freshmen boys in the college who can be depended upon. Of course the bride in the Sophomore stunt was the star of the evening, but we thought it out of the question to let a Fresh- man go hack on a junior picnic. even for the good reason of escorting her. so we decided to take both of them with us. The deed was quickly accomplished. and two Jolly juniors. two happy Freshmen. one enraged Soph. and one more Freshee. lighting madly. started with the horse on a gallop. toward the huge tires shining like beacons across the lake. The party arrived in time for supper-around the glowing tire-and enjoyed it immensely after their strenuous efforts. At a late hour the jubilant crowd started liomewarcl, singing all the way. Our relations with some of our under-classmen were slightly strained next day, Of course it was a mean trick. for one of those d-d Freshmen and a junior girl to attack one poor maiden. but- it's a long lane that knows no turning. you know. Two nights later the plotters met once more to discuss the success of their hard-hearted plans and to enjoy themselves gen- erally. Such is the way of the world, and as all's fair in love and war. so. now- all is peace and happiness, upon the mantle-shell. So ends this volume of the annals of the class of 1911 of Buena Vista college. Done this thirtieth clay of April. in the year of our Lord. one thousand nine hundred and ten. ' i x 'YZF' uri: 3 F 3?

It wouldf only be determined by a slight dilierence in standings. lt is of this Mildred was thinking as she sat in her pretty college room decorated with pennants. pie- tures and other objects typical of a college girl's room. NVould she get it or would Margaret? It would soon be decided for her forever. As she was thinlt- ing her clock chimed the hour of three and at four the Valedictory stepped upon the platform on ' which the Seniors were seated and delivered a farewell speech to the assembled students. At the close he added: It is my privilege and honor to award the Va- ledictory of this class to Miss Mildred Ogden, who well deserves the honor accorded to her. Amidst applause Mildred rose and received the precious bit of paper. Congratulations followed thicl: and fast, Margaret the first one. her pleasant smile and clear voice free from any suspicion of jealousy. It seemed to Mildred that her cup of happiness was full: it meant so much to her and she had worked hard for it, And soon it was time for the boat-race. Mildred broke away from her friends and ran up to her room to get a wrap before go- ing down to the river. She found several letters for her. but scarcely looked at them. but noticing one with the home post-mark. she opened it hastily just to glance it over. As she read the first sentence. however, her smile disappeared and her spirits sank. She read no further. but gazed as if fascinated on those first few lines. Dear Mildred:- It seems almost too good to be true that in just one more week I will have you back with me for many happy years. VVhat was there in that to spoil her pleasure? Oh. she had forgotten her future. She had forgotten that she might not spend all her life at Dear Old Dover. Yes, sl1e had forgotten. but now she remembered. Remembered the 'little crude house. Remem- bered those lonesome prairies. Remembered all these things and forgot the dear father and mother who were toiling and saving even now that their daughter might have things as other college girls had them. She had not been home since she started to col- lege. It was a long, expensive trip from North Dakota prairies to Dover, Kentucky. her mother's old home. Every summer she had stayed at Dover and assisted in teaching at a summer school. Recollections came quickly now. She could almost see the tiny house: nnpainted and nnplasteredg no trees: no conveniences of any kind: nothing but the prairies. vast and gray. Their same- ness was depressing. She had never been homesick since coming to college. How could she stand to go back and live in that place? She could not. Not stopping for further consideration she sat down to her desk and hastily penned a short letter which she sealed. stamped and addressed. and. donning a light wrap. ran down to the river bank. stopping but a moment to drop the letter in the corner mail- box. The crews were ready to start. waiting only for the pistol report. One. Two, Three, Crack! and they are off. Lentus slight- ly in the lead. The river formed a horse-shoe around this part of the town and it was over this horse-shoe their course lay. It was only a short distance-about a mile-so that the test was more of speed than of endurance. Around the bend they disappeared, each crew very evidently doing their best, and Lentus still ahead. The people followed them closely, cheering each impartially. Lentus had a great many rooters and each side did their best to make the most noise. Mildred was watching eagerly, intensely interested. especially in the captain of the Danes. XVhat would he think of her home. she wondered as she glanced at the tiny solitaire on her left hand? Wfhat would he? But she must forget such things for the time be- ing. Dover was making lots of noise. although the Lentus crew was still ahead almost three lengths and the homestretch was coming. That's Dover spirit for you, remarked a by-stander. The harder they're hit and the more doubtful the outcome. the louder they root. You can never tell by their tone whether they're ahead or behind. Now the home-stretch. Wfhich would go over the line first? Go it Danes. yon're winners! You know you're not half trying. Yon're ahead Lentus! You've got the Danes beat easy! The next five minutes will tell the story and now the Dover chant is maid' Co it Danes. Go it Danes: Come let's have a few more gains: Cross the line, cross the line. That is doing Fine. There you go, yon're not slow. Better teach them how to row. Beat them. Beat them. Beat them. Danes! Go it. Danes. Go. f 7 They are gaining slowly and at the cry of their captain. It's all for 'Dear Old Doverf boys. over the line they went a half second before Lentus. Such cheering: everything was forgotten except the glorious victory. and an impromptu reception was held then and there for the victorious crew with promise of the real thing a few hours later in the evening. Mildred was happy. She forgot the letter she had written: she remembered only that Dover was victor and the people all say it is due in great part to the discipline and efforts of the Danes' captain. tk :ic :EQ :iz 2? 22: tk :Ea is :Et 2: In the evening the bank was lit by a huge bonfire, which shed a beautiful glow over the scene near at hand and made eerie shadows way down the stream. The students are holding high carnival on this last night, trying to forget the inevitable partings of the morrow. Row-boats and canoes skimmed and glided up and down the rippling stream, their only light as they rowed fur- ther down was furnished by josh-sticks, which did double duty in preventing collisions and wardingoff mosquitoes. Mildred was not with them. She was sitting in her room. looking absent-mindedly out of the window on the attractive scene below. But her mind was not on that sceneg she was seeing a very diliferent one. A little low house and unshaded lawn. Tears fell as she thought of her mother growing old in that desert place. Wfhat must life be to her? How lonesome she must be. The girl could stand it no longer. It was a heart-breaking struggle. but now her mind was made up. She sprang to her feet and com- menced packing her trunk hurriedly. In the midst of her prepara- tions the door-bell rang and soon the matron called for Miss Ogden. - Mildred knew who it was so she slipped down stairs for a monient's explanation. Yes, it was the captain of the Danes. It did not take her long to explain and because he was a true man, and because he loved her, he aided her decision even though it meant years of waiting for him. After a few moments they said Good-night and au revoirf' he would not say good-bye. As she was finishing her packing. her room-mate came up the stairs humming softly. She stopped abruptly. however, as she opened the door and gazed at the dismantled room. Mildred Ogden, what under the sun are you doing? I'm packing. Sadie. Packing? Wfhy. I thought you were going to stay here: you told nie so yourself not two hours ago. Yes, I know. Sadie. but I've decided to go home after all. Please don't try to coax me to stay for it will only make me feel bad. All right. Milly: good-night. Good-night. Sadie. The sun was shining brightly down upon the Dakota prairies: not cheerfully. but suffocatingly bright. Under its scorching rays even the ever-energetic prairie-dogs were silent. and contented themselves with an occasional Yap! Yap! f-4: 1 jfs:-f H: 6 .lm H. rr'-- it . M' ,L ix 9 X 'fi S if s hll flfl g it A- fr f ' Ss Q .ie At the door of a tiny house a woman stood looking out upon the dusty. tired prairies. She was tired. too. She was gray and old like this land. and her life was a monotonous stretch. un- broken. In her hand she held a delicate note. .-X faint scent of violets was noticeable. seeming to mock her and her surroundings. It was this note that made her feel gray and old: that made the prai- ries grayer. She read it again: Dear Mother:- I have decided not to come home for some time at least. I have been offered a position as assistant Normal teacher here for a year on trial. I won the Valedietory. which was awarded this afternoon. Give my love to father. In haste. Your loving daughter, MILDRED. Across the face of the envelope was stamped. 1Iissent.'i She eould tell by the post-mark that the letter had been mailed at least four days ago. She laid it down with a deep sigh. It was for this she had sung' about her work. It was for this she had at- tempted to tix up a bit. For this she had toiled and saved for four long years: and now-she must go on in the same way with noth- ing to look forward to. Down the dusty trail she heard the muffled rumble of the stage. Nearer it came and she wondered dully if it had any more disappointments in store for her. Old Jerry was stopping: Par- cel for you. l'Ia'am. She wiped her eyes hastily and went to the door. She was met by a person who was not Old Jerry. It was the parcel hugging her and crying. Oh, mother. I'm so glad to be home. The revulsion of feeling was too great and the woman allowed herself the luxury of a few joyful tears, while Mildred told her all about the Valedictory. the boat-race. and of course about the cap- tain. And, mama. she concluded. sometime he's coming after me and we are .-XLL going back to Dover. Love sometimes conquers ambition. you know. -CAROL MERENESS. 'I3. TI-IE BROOKLET.

Extracts from the Senior Diaries December 9. I bought some new lavender socks today and a green tie. -I hope they will lool: well. I might as well begin sprucing up since this is my last year here. Somehow those colors don't sound well together, but they will do. I can't spend too much time fussing over such trivial things. Inst got to thinking seriously about some things tonight. I haren't spent much money 011 the girls the last year and a half. but just watch 1ny smoke this spring. Lost my note-book today and it, had just yards and yards of English reading in it. March 10. I staid home from the party to study up on the debate. but it's pretty slow work. I wonder why she wouldn't go with me to- night. VVish I had gone anyway.

I have sat for hours trying to imagine I was dignified and I've even taken a history class as an aid, but it is all in vain. I just cannot be dig- nified even in a cap and gownl I wonder if there is a sure cure for giggling. March io. I'x'e lost my voice and all on account of the measles. I-Iow queer it seems not to be able to talk when you want to! I have had to wear these dark glasses, too. for a couple of days now. There is seine consolation in this. though, for I have finally been able to realize one of my dreams: I am amidst a darlcy population. I was glad I could go to the class party Tuesday. although this affiiction came the next day. for we had such a good time I couldn't have afforded to miss it. November io. '09.

Do you suppose I could do it? I have to get that paper for education in tomorrow and I simply cannot write a paper: I don't even know how to start it. And I must de- eide tonight whether I'll take that part in the play or no. I'm positive I can't do it. I don't know a thing about it. Oh. I suppose I'll have to try all three. but I'll surely fail in them. September 9. - This school-teaching is not as pleasant as it seems. although I am having a great deal of success.

I am a little out of practice in rowing, but I made fairly good work of it except once when I splashed water on her dress. She said it was her best one. too. I hope it isn't the kind Vex f tl1at spots. She might not wish to go again when her turn comes. I wish we might have staid out longer. but she said it was too late. I enjoyed the entertainment tonight especially because we were so near the stage. The facial expression was splendid. I shall always sit in the Fifth row after this. February 10. It was really mean to take that sap and drink it. It was such a little paillul and it didn't taste a bit good. It was fun though. just drinking it. just got back from a class party and I'm so sleepy I can't write. To think that my brother got his head shaved just like the rest of them. March 10-1:30 a. m. just a lew lines before I crawl in. It was Tack work again tonight and the Class-party last night kept me up. too. so I'm awfully tired. I wonder if the rest of the Seniors think it all right for me to play ball. I don't dare mention it to them because they might not know about it at all. I wonder how poor Jones' head I kept the hat for a souvenir. I I I I -. ff,, tLl xi Q ' Y Sophomoritis DEFINITION Soph-wise: sophomore-more wise: itis-disease: a disease of being more wise. In first stages flil a natural propensity and an innoxions tendency of know-it-ive-ness tdeveloped first as Fresh- menl: in extreme cases 1,25 an infectious malady closely allied to elephantabilis conceitibus. ETIO LO GY A disease 115 which all who enter classic halls cannot evade: ill its advanced stage C23 no first cause is assigned other than too Much Ado About Nothing. PREDISPOSING CAUSES To one having a year ol Freshman experiences UD is deemed unavoidable. Diathesis, viz., a physical ailment or enlargement of the head, immediately predisposes Sophomoritis the second: easily acquired by any one having any previous inclination, tendency or propensity of disbursing his own opinion freely and without re- serve. of authorizing. directing or domineering others. EXCITING CAUSES VVhen the lever of leadership creeps over an upstart: when he thinks he is right and everybody else is wrong, too many laurels for unusual ability athletically. oratorically, etc.: to receive undue recognition from the fairer sex so that he thinks he can go with all the girls in the college at one and the same time often brings on an acute and malignant attack of Sophomoritis the second. SYMPTOMS Course and event of disease thus determined. Mode oi outset slow and tedious: patient gives no signs oi coming trouble. at tirst not even those in closest intimacy will be aware of any approach- ing disturbance: UD less of diftidence is evidenced and more self- confidence: he is less desultory and immethodical Cas is character- istic of Freshmanjz he talks more logically on a greater variety of subjects. In the advanced stage tzj first visible sign persitiage. first detected in the appearance on the tongue ol a thick coating of an extremely extravagant and unnecessary quantity of frivolous and blustering words: he becomes puffed up and spends his time in bantering away to others: this is followed by an unusual tight- ening of the hat-band and a mania for good clothes. He will no longer appear in class in a hickory shirt more than a week at a time. pompadours his hair. will carry a walking-stick and have the air ol one who is a tit candidate for the presidency of a col- lege. Insidiousness and a sybaritic inclination usually follow as Final results. COMPLICATIONS In the early stage, viz.: C15 holding several offices or serving on as many committees. Those setting in with Sophomoritis C23 mind-wandering. sleepless nights. deep study of Uranography, with heart failure. leading to other serious nenrasthcnic conditions as a result. 'TREATMENT For Sophomoritis C15 more offices, more committee work. more social obligations. more class. college and society spirit, For Sophomoritis f.2D. faculty more able to deal with it by cutting down the number of subjects to be taken or fwhat is more effec- tiveD Hunking him in one or two subjects twhich has terminated the course of many a young hopefulD with the following prescrip- tion thrown in: In one drain of broken spirits dissolve 6 oz. of good judgment. 3 oz. pulv. concentration. 1 semester comp. tinc. Trig. and Chem. mixed with one-half semester experience. to be taken once daily till resuscitation begins. Then take four and one- half months hard work. It will be necessary for some to take special course in Misogyny to fully recover. PROPI-IYLAXIS As a preventive for both UD and Q2D president of college should give a mathematical treatise at least twice a year on the subject of I+i+1:5 IMMUNITY All are exposed to UD and are more or less affected by it. Through some bad luck. e. g.. sickness or failure to pass the Fresh- man stage may bring an immunity for life. Not all exposed to 492D contract the disease. Majority not susceptible because of disposition, natural bent, or inclination, etc. Too much attention to the desires and fancies of the opposite sex may absolve them though exposed and possessing all the symptoms of a virulent at- tack.

BERNICE GREGG, 'I2. JUNIOR CENSUS. Since the year 1910 is the year for the National census, it is a matter of course that the Jolly Juniors should have a-special mention in the enumeration. Believing the results will be of in- terest to their friends. we have secured them for publication. The class is composed of ten people. eight girls and two boys, Their combined ages amount to 208 years. the average age oi the girls being 2056 years: that of the boys 223 years. Half of the class is old enough to vote. , In the matter of weight. the total is 1.270 pounds. of which an unusually large percent is brain. The average weight of the girls is l2I pounds. while that of the boys is 150 pounds. It is. oi course. an understood fact that the class is worth its weight in gold. As regards height. none of the class lay claim to being divinely tall. The total height is 55 feet. the girls averaging 5 feet 5Vz inches. the boys. 5 feet S inches. VVhen it comes to hair. one has black. tive have dark-brown verging on black. three others have locks of light brown. and one is the proud possessor of auburn tresses. Some have an abund- ant supply, some have not. while some. according to the Sopho- mores, have hair their own and yet not their own. None of the class is blind, yet three are wearing glasses and the rest expect to some day. In eyes. the class truly offers a va- riety. There are black eyes, brown eyes. hazel eyes. gray eyes. blue eyes. and one even declares that his eyes are green. Wfith the exception of one who claims Illinois as her birth- place. all were born in Iowa. Seven reside in Storm Lake, one in Ireton, one in Pomeroy. and one in Rolfe. In the matter of ancestry. nearly every division of the Caucasian race is repre- sented, directly or indirectly. Of this brilliant class. one is a preacher. three are members of the Scrub Faculty, and another is----. 'WVell. she's been writing to him for three years. and everyone says so, so it MUST be true. Two more are musicians of note. both in instrumental and vocal lines. another is head-waiter in the ladies' dormitory. still another is business manager of nearly every organization, and the last one, a girl, aspires to be a farmer. All a1'e of sound mind. and, with the exception of a few who are victims of heart trouble in various stages, have sound bodies. Taken as a whole, the class is unusually bright and active and is exerting every effort to be a credit to Buena Vista. The Competitive Examination The final examination. which will come eight weeks from today will be especially important. Prof. Ferner, the algebra in- structor. announced one morning. Through the kindness of last year's class. we are enabled to offer a prize of 315,00 to the one who receives the highest mark. I trust that you will all make an extra effort to do good work, even though but one can win the prize. You may be excused, A moment of silence followed. As they arose to leave, some wore a look of indifference. knowing full well that they could never win a prize. especially in college algebra. The expression of others told how well they would like to try. if it were not so hopeless. A third class wore a look of determination. In this lat- ter class was Arthur Clifford. I-Iis mind was filled with thoughts of the prize and he scarcely heard the 'others as they were talking of it and those who would stand the best chance. Going down for his almost forgotten hat he started immediately for home. He decided that he would not tell his parents about the prize, as it would be so much more fun to surprise them with the news that he had won it. And then, of course. there was the possibility that he might fail. but he would do his best and it should not be his fault if he did not win. How many things he could do with that money. He needed a new suit so badly and, until now, he had been able to think of no way in which he could earn a cent of money toward it. How delighted his parents would be if he could earn the prize money. The days from now on passed swiftly. Soon they lengthened into weeks. and. almost before he knew it, but two days were left. If it were not for John Dekker, I wouldn't worry, he told himself. but hels been getting fine marks lately and I'm afraid he'll pass a good examination. I'd rather be beaten by anyone else, too. for lie's no friend of mine. I don't believe he's exactly hon- est. either, from the reports I've heard. The following night he remained in the study-room later than usual to work an especially difficult problem. The room was quiet for he was the only occupant. and as he worked. he became con- scious of voices in the adjoining room. They ceased almost im- mediately, but not until he had heard. Yes. the chances of the two are about even. but the examination will soon decide it. The questions are in my desk now. I've spent the afternoon pick- ing out the best I could Find. Wfhen Arthur realized how intently he had listened. he was disgusted. XVhat dihference does it make to you. he said tiercely to himself. where those questions are? I should hope you aren't going to cheat for the sake of winning the prize. and for a few moments he worked harder than ever. But thoughts of the help it would be if he knew at least a part of the questions returned often. The next afternoon as he was leaving the study-room he saw Professor Ferner come in and sit down. Arthnris mind. of course. reverted to the list of questions and. as he passed the door of the recitation room. he could not resist taking a peep inside. The room was emptv. Wfithout a thought of all his resolves. or of the consequences, he took a hasty glance down the hall, stepped quickly. within and closed the door. I-Ie walked hurriedly to the desk and had partly opened the drawer when a sudden sense of what he was about to do swept over him. W'itl1 this realization. n. h came a thought of his rival. VVas he no better than John? Wfas this what he was Coming to-he, who had had such good home training? Perhaps it would be the natural thing for john, but not for him and he would do nothing which would put them in the same class. :Ns he made his decision, he shut the drawer and stepped to- ward thc door. At that moment he heard steps outside, the key turned in the lock and. in an agony of suspense. he awaited the entrance of the instructor, who seemed to be trying. unsuccessfully to open the door. Oh. yes. of course, it had been unlocked all the time and the professor had probably locked it this time, think- ing he was doing just the opposite. I-low can I stand it to be found here? he thought. Oh, why did I ever come? If I could only hide. I Like a Hash he thought of the closet behind him. In an in- stant, he had entered and softly closed the door. He heard the key turn again: the door opened and he could hear the steps go- ing toward the desk. All was silent. What could he be doing? W'hat if he should come to the closet? Suddenly he thought of the key-hole. Stooping down he peeked through. He could just see the professor-why, no? it wasn't Professor Ferner at all, it was john and he was pulling out a drawer. His first thought was one of relief. Then a feeling of anger came over him that John was to see the questions and win the prize. Then he remembered that john really was not to be blamed so much for he had had no mother to teach him any bet- ter. Scarcely knowing what he meant to do, he stepped out into the room. John stared at him in astonishment and then said snceringly, Sneaky You think you're going to tell on me, do you? You're so goody-good you'd like a chance to peach on the rest of us. All right, go ahead. UNO. john. Arthur said quietly, I think were in the same class. I-I started to look myself, then changed my mind. I thought perhaps you would change yours. too. when you had time to think about it. john stared at him in astonishment. then said: XVell. I don't see what you quit for, but it's too late for me to try it again for Professor Ferner sent me after his key and he'll be wondering where I am. Somebody's coming so we'll have to wait till they pass, then I think I'll lock you in till Mr. Ferncr comes in the morning. Arthur looked at him. doubtfully. hardly,knowing whether to take him in earnest or not, but he was saved the trouble of de- ciding. for the steps instead of passing. stopped. the key was turned and removed and they heard the retreating steps down the hall. The feelings of the two boys would be hard to describe, but at last Arthur's sense of humor came to the surface and he gave vent to a faint-hearted laugh. I ean't see where the joke is, muttered John. I can see it better than I could if I were locked up here alonef' Arthur answered. That may all be, but laughing isn't going to get either of us out of here, said John. lVell, what do you suggest? I'm willing to leave as soon as we find a wayf' I ean't seem to think of anything at present, John said. If there were only some fire-escapes from these windows it would be easy. Arthur said, as he looked out. Say, I believe I have it. The east addition is a little lower and the window in this closet opens on to its roof. lfVe can crawl along the edge until we are above the window with the tire-escape, and then let our- selves down from there. The plan worked splendidly. Before long they were on solid ground. There was an awkward silence, then John said: X1Vell, Illll glad to be out of there and-I suppose it sounds queer com- ing from nie, but-do you know. I'm rather glad you appeared on the scene before I had looked at those questions. I believe I'll enjoy the prize more if I do get it. The boys were really beginning to feel quite friendly and Arthur suggested that they walk home together. As they turned a corner. John exclaimed: Oh, there comes the professor. Do you suppose he's been watching us climb down? just as he spoke Mr. Ferner called: Wait a minute boys. I want to speak to you. XVe're in for it now, all right, Arthur said as they waited. I just wanted to tell you. John. Mr. Ferner said, as he over- took and walked along with them, that I was in a hurry, so I went after the key myself, thinking you might have been hin- dered somewhere. I hope you didnlt inconvenience yourself l1unt- ing for it. or for me. Oh. no-not at all. Iohn manager to answer. I must leave you here, Mr. Ferner said as he came to a cor- ner. I'm going home to make out the questions for your exam- ination. I'm having a hard time to get them to suit me well enough for such an important occasion. This will be the third 5 list I'vc made. Good luck to you. and he left them looking sheep- ishly at each other. It looks as if we were sale this time. John said, but I'm going home before I get any more scares. Arthur walked slowly along. Iohn's words had given him a new lidca. He tried, repeatedly, to thrust it aside. but it always returned. As a consequence, Prof. Ferner was surprised the next morning to receive an early call from both Arthur and John. As. spokesman. Arthur began: I-we-thought we ought to-to tell you that we almost looked at the questions yesterday. Ive- changed our minds. but perhaps you'd better not count us in for the prize. Is that so? I rather wondered how you happened to be climbing out of that window. he said. with a grave look on his face. I'm glad you came to me. but-but-yes-under the cir- cumstances you are right, I think you ought not-to try for the prize. And each boy knew he had won again the respect and confi- dence of Prof. Ferner. even if he had lost the prize. -EMMA L. SHELDON. 'I2. Agfa' ' 1 gi ' .I i THE WIND.

'13 ne Word More F.-XSI-IIONS-COLLEGE MEN'S IDEAS. Fashions are remarkable phenomena. They can hardly be classed as natural phenomena. so unnatu1'al are many of them. but their phenomenality is generally admitted. They are a unique feature of the cosmic process in that most of them seem to be beyond any reasonable theory of causation and to be so variable that they fall within no order of law. lfVe do find one thread that connects them with the world of cause and effect. in the fact that like certain diseases. they are contagious-nay more. in- fectious, for they spread with magical rapidity through the air and are no respecters of persons. Their categories are rigid and absolute, and he whose manners. morals and habiliments fail to harmonize with them. is classihed as non-compos mentis. To the so-called elite. they represent the summum bonum, but to the philosopher they are a nuisance-necessary, perhaps. but a nuis- ance. nevertheless. it :it it Beyond the power of man to describe.

I believe it would burst if it wasn't fastened together with wire. This ache is worse than anything of the kind I ever had while I was alive. Suppose it is because nothing is there except an aching void. And how these noises that I ordinarily never mind at all go right through me. Now there's the bell. Its unearthly din seems to reach the very marrow of my bones and set my nerves on edge. I suspect that means the class in eatology will come in here. Yes. sure enough, there they are. and some Door pussy, I suppose, will have to be sacri- ficed to the cause. Oh. such cruelty. NVell. I can sympathize with the poor creature. because that is what they did to me. Cut me all up and then put my bones together with wire and springs. and hung me in this dark. awful smelling box. Ouch! there goes that bell again. I wonder what class is coming now. Oh, yes. it's that Freshman biology, and I expect they will talk about evolution again like they did yesterday. The professor said they weren't through yet, and I'n1 glad they aren't. ache, I wanted to get out there and tell them about a few things that I know. but my head is fastened to the top of this cage and. of course.

Dear 2--2 Everytime I think of thee my heart Haps up and down like a churn dasher. sensations of unutterable joy caper over it like young goats over a stable roof and pierce through it like a pair of needles through a pair of trousers. Wfhen I first beheld your angelic perfections my brain whirled around like a bnmble-bee under a glass tumbler, 1ny eyes stood open like cellar doors in a country town CStorm Lakel and I lift- ed up my ears to catch the silvery accents of your voice. My tongue refused to wag and in silent adoration I drank in the sweet inllections of love as a thirsty man swalloweth a tumbler of hot lemonade. lVhen the light of your face first fell upon my life, I felt I could lift myself up by my apron strings to the top of Buena Vis- ta's steeple and pull the bell for chapel. The- dimples in your cheeks are like towers of roses or hol- lows in a cake of home-made sugar. Your laugh is like the sweet strains of a harp, or the bleat of a stray lamb on a bleak mountain side. Your eyes are too glorious to contemplate. You are my Norwegian doughnut fried in sorghum molasses. You are candy. kisses, raisins, sweetened toddy altogether. I trust these few lines will enable you to see the inside of my soul, If you cannot reciprocate these, my soul-mastering passions. I will pine away from the branch of life an untimely beast. and you, happy in another love, may come and shed a tear and catch a cold upon the last resting place of Your friend, XVhen all my thought in vain I'd thunk XVhat saved me from an awful Hunk- ' -My Ponies.

Yea, tho' I plod through the fourth book of Virgil I will fear no evil, for thou art with me: thy words and thy phrases they comfort me. 5. Thou preparest my lessons for me in spite of my teachers: thou crowncst my head with fame, and my standings run high. 6, Surely applause and recognition shall follow me all the days of my life and the pony shall dwell in my house forever.

As I drew nearer the sunless side of that planet. I noticed the noise seemed distressiul rather than triumphant. Following the direction of the sounds, I saw an edifice somewhat longer than wide and dotted with the most terrible wails I have ever heardg they were, Oh Fre-e-e-shmen! Oh. In-u-uniors! Help! NVe're locked in! I was very much worried. but on peeping in I decided it was not safe for me to try to help the two agonized ones. wl1o were in a crouching posture before one of the bright spots and seemed quite angry. Sitting at a four-legged structure in this apartment was a third earth- being, quiet and hard at work amid the restlessness and din of the other two. On making a tour around this edifice. I saw there two rows of apartments with a long alley between, in which. before a trio of the swinging partitions closing the apartment thresholds, were stationed composed guards. One of these apartments has been described. the other two held ,only one inmate each. As I passed the bright spot of one of these latter. something hard with Hnttering leaves was hurled out, followed by various other things. I thought my life was endangered and wondered if this was the insane asylum, which I had once heard my tutor de- scribe after a visit to the earth. Soon I saw a bevy of earth-beings approaching at a rapid swinging gait. and bearing two long poles crossed regularly by short sticks. They set this contraption up against the edi- fice under the bright spot of the triply occupied room and one of the savage inmates slid rap- idly down it backwards: the other had just started when an old earth-being interfered and I heard this: Loves Labor Lost. A moment later all the jail-birds joined the bevy in front of the edince and they all stalked away wrangling and complaining while all became quiet behind them. And I, wearied with my journey. crept in a corner and fell into an exhausted sleep. Sometime later I was awakened by low breath tones, shuffling and clanking. Investigat- ing. I saw those same escaped prisoners weaving a cris-cross fabric. oi strands of cord and bright metal. across the alleyway. They suddenly ceased operations before a threshold and fell back as though they had seen a ghost or had had some cold liquid thrown into their visages, for before them stood that same quiet being. their fellow prisoner. A sonant toned conference followed in which those troubled beings were trying to per- suade the calm one as to the wisdom of something, but no consent was given. Soon a reel of the bright metal went spinning to the bottom of the alleyway and a white streak llashed away into the clark. At lirst I thought maybe this was lightning and it was going to storm: but when the four followed, I knew that the quiet being, frightened by them. had fled. Calling one of the watchers of the early encounter of the night, the quiet one turned and laced the pursuers. All iour closed around with cries, Let's lock her up. But she must have been solid and counter- balanced their mass, as they could I10t budge her with all their tugging and pulling. Meanwhile there was another white Hash. this time toward the light and I could see one of the guards hastening to tear apart the weaving done before and as this was rapidly accomplished other guards passed out from the now unbarred entrances. The troubled beings made a bolt 'md senr ' l ' H g. . ' riec into one of the apartments. The entrance partition was 'Hung to and heavy rollings as of thunder followed. The conflict now seemed over and alter a short debate pro and con. the victors tip-toed back into- the various apartments and everything assumed a deathlilce stillness. l I decided that I could not call my life my own among such nerve-racking and sleep-losmg scenes, so I hurried home to rest and quiet. , ELSIE.

And see themselves as they often look To students, and ithers who will read this book. It you come to visit our college some day. As you enter the building, you'll hear someone say: Did you tell your class that a dog loses his sense of instinct? And right then will surely commence An argument, between these two standing there- This professor so portly and the lady so fair. As you stand listening to this argument hot, Step into the office, it may be your lot To find a man whom duty often calls To College field work-So he's not in these halls. Don't waste IUOTC time here, but pass on to a door With the key in the lock. It is on the same floor. This is the room where many a picture Is supposed to be painted, with many a mixture Of green paint, of brown paint, of yellow and red, Till you get fairly dizzy, and it goes to your head. But see what she's doing. this lady so wise. Can it be that she's teaching these youths to make eyes? Yes, it is so. And she does it right well: For her heart's in her eyes you plainly can tell. In the next room you'll see-that is if you're able To stand there and look at what's on the table, Some fur, some ears. some legs and a tail. A nose and a month-before all this you'll quail, And perhaps turn away, to he niet by a man V Wfho is hurrying along as last as he can. And had you been out just then on the street, You'd have seen all the cats and kittens retreat From the man for whom they had no affectiong For they know he was trying to make a collection Ot their kind. They did not know for science t'was done: But not all escaped-for he cz-une back with one. T'will rest you, after this blood curdling sight, To look in the next room and see a man writeg It may be Greek or French or German as well, In what language he'll speak next you never can tell. If Latin you would hear, stop in on your way, And see it the teacher is not laughing today, Perhaps she's been asking the meaning of sinister. The Latin word left, and been told that t'was 'spinster. l nf 5 '- I li, L m I PM -ln?

We wrote you before the Holidays, making you a special price on an aged whiskey and giving you some good reasons why you should buy famous whiskey in preference to all others. It was surely an oversight that you were not one of the 50,000 customers that sent us their order-scarcely any other reason would excuse you. Once more we renew the following special offer: . 4 qts. Private Stock Straight-genuine for 53.00-list 33.25 or 4 qts. Private Stock Bottled-in-Bond for 3.25-list 3.50 pays the express charges. ' We cut these prices because we Want your further patronage. We know we will get it once you become acquainted with brands. A noted Government Chemist says The value of pure whiskey lies in the length of time it has been aged. Whiskey two or three years old, is still green and not Ht for useg it lacks strength and Havor. Much of the whiskey on the market to-day is of this char- acter, therefore, if you can buy an aged or an old whiskey, at the same price or less, than you would pay for a green whiskey, which do you prefer? seven year old whiskey or a whiskey that has been aged over night? Won't you please let us have your second order now? When the whiskey arrives, try it, every bottle-if you don't pronounce the finest Whiskey you ever tasted, return it at our expense and we will refund your money. We pay all charges- assume the entire risk. Very truly yours, DISTILLING CO. J. VV. C?-ILEERT ALJSLJET DLLJSZEZI-9 GILBERT 6- DLUGOSCH CLOTHING AND MEN'S FURNISHINGS HATS, CAPS, TRUNKS, VALISES, ETC.
