Thy history, Buena Vista, is of growing, And with thy growth have thy traditions grown, A heritage so full, so rich, bestowing, That we are thrilled to know it for our own. The fruitful fountain of our college spirit, Of all that spurs us on, inspires, empowers, All that has been, do we in thee inherit, How more than rich this heritage of ours! f-J I if I l XJ 'Ski itiax g F1 , fd I . v If -T 5, J ' -'r, fff. - 'L . 4-,v I.

The germ from which Buena Vista College has grown was in the idea of taking charge of the Calliope Academy which was proposed to the Fort Dodge Presbytery in 1883. The following April, Fort Dodge was chosen as the location for a Presbyterian College and in the fall of 1885, the Fort Dodge Institute was opened with Rev. F. L. Kenyon as president. Two years later, it was decided that the school would not thrive there and a new location was sought. Fortunately, the Storm Lake Town Lot and Land Company offered a gift of eighty acres and twenty-five thousand dollars in buildings or in money. The title of the land was to be vested in seventeen trustees, nine of whom were to be chosen by the company. These were E. E. Mack, R. Lemon, J. C. Felt, Geo. Witter, A. D. Bailie, S. J. Powell, W. C. Kinne, E. C. Cowles, and P. Morey. School was conducted in an opera house until a building could be completed. The true beginning, then, of Buena Vista was a little over a quarter of a century ago, in 1891, with Rev. L. Y. Hayes as president and Rev. Geo. H. Fracker as one xl? ff . - A ,- ?,1g4X.1,, I9-RUDDER-.79 E X f 1 f. 1 .1 I ll 1 IXJ4 J of the first faculty members. In 1893, Miss Jennie Gordon Hutchinson was granted the first A. B., she later became our professor of Latin. Buena Vista won her first inter-collegiate debate in 1912 and her first State Ora- torical Contest in 1918. Steady progress has been the aim of those who have managed the affairs of the col- lege. This is manifest in the additions and changes made. The Miller-Stuart House became college property in 1901, it being the gift of Mrs. Lois G. Stuart of Audubon, and Rev. Wm. Miller of Des Moines, the first endowment campaign realized 550,000 During these years of progress, the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A., the Franklin and Star Societies, have become permanent organizations. Permanent, too, have become numerous customs and traditions. Every people has its customs and tra- ditions, no less have the people of Buena Vista. Let us, then, recall the origin of a few of these. Among the most interesting of B. V.'s customs is that of naming classes. Probably the first class to have a name was that of 1907. The Would Be's were Juniors .f .hx 4 i 51, gs ,I -,L -42 f - ff: 10-RUDDER-10 ftijs 52? when they received their name from the Seniors at a party. This name was kept during the year but was not generally known throughout the college. At one time the 1908 class was known as The Three Gracesn but in their annual, the first Rudder published, they are known as a Species not yet classified . No name was given to the class of 1909 while they were Freshmen, but in the early part of their Sophomore year, they chose The People as a fitting name for their class. In the same year this class made the custom a permanent one by formally naming the Freshmen, or the class of 1910, Dumplings , The only break in the custom was in 1911 when the class of 1915 tired of waiting for a name, even an appeal to Santy not prevailing, and named themselves Mewasams . Later the Sophomores dubbed this class Prattlers . No final agreement on the name was ever reached. Since then, the Freshman class has always been duly named by the Sophomores, although several classes have come perilously near forfeiting their right to name the new class, since this must be done before the Christmas vacation or the Freshmen are given the right to choose their own name. The color ceremony was established by the class of 1912, its purpose being to re- place the usual color rush by a formal presentation of the Freshman colors by the XX X.

The colors were presented by Bernice Gregg and received by lylabelle Conquist-Smith. The actual presentation was followed by a banquet, as has been the custom since. Since that time there have been two omissions of the ceremony. These occurred in 1912 and 1916. Both times the neglected Freshmen chose colors and introduced them by wearing them to chapel. Each year, except 191-1, when the present Seniors received their colors, the cere- mony has been held in the commercial rooms. This time it was given in South Hall, our dormitory of the past. The Pachyderms look back upon the color ceremony that was given them in 1915 with especial interest. The colors, maroon and old gold, were presented to them by Lieutenant Joseph Sohm and accepted by John Fulton, who is also now an army man. The first annual hobo day occurred in lNIay, 191-1, when Kelly's Army decided that there should be no classes on a certain day. The recruits to the army were sorry looking figures and they succeeded in terrorizing the citizens of the city. Dinner was C ,, e4 1 l ax 'Til X f i, gb-ff xc- W fflkw up K 19-RUDDER-10 Wim, N M nh ,W V H W iw' ly' Qfivl ffm y xl I X , , 1 EL.

The following May, the Hobo King with his Hooligan hat appeared on the Royal Burrow surrounded by the Royal Guard. This guard, allied with Kelly's Army, went from house to house begging food for the dinner which was served on Chau- tauqua Point. In 1916, Hobo Day was celebrated when a circus came to town and the interest that the band of hobos created almost overshadowed the efforts of the funny men in the parade. Last year the hobos mysteriously appeared at the Casino where they en- joyed an excellent, if meagre, dinner. Even accidents, such as falling into mud pud- dles, could not spoil the fun. In the fall, classes have private skip-days. This is primarily for the Sophomores and Freshmen, it being a part of the class fight program. Each class tries to have the first skip-day and to steal away to some other town without any one's knowing. I, a ,J 3 ,ft 19-RUDDER-10, J , 1, V' ' 'W - .

The Sophomores of that year had published a little pamphlet containing the college songs and yells. The purpose of this first Sing-Out seems to have been to initiate these new books and to celebrate the occasion of final examinations being over. The second Sing-Out was also held on the Music Hall lawn as was the one in the spring of 1917, the two intervening ones being at the main building. Two commencement week traditions which originated about 1906 are the Pipe of Peace and Tree Day. The latter is not confined entirely to commencement week, however, since the Seniors plant the tree earlier in the spring. This planting is the occasion for a secret early morning ceremony and breakfast. The tree is then dedi- cated publicly on commencement Tuesday. This is the time when all the classes deck themselves in costumes suggestive of their names and ranks and the time when the Seniors offer worthy advice to the under-classmen, playing fair, however, by giving the others a chance to answer back. I9-RHUDDER-19 ffl!-0ZiX The Pipe of Peace ceremony has usually been held on Tuesday morning, very early. Such deep mystery surrounds this affair that one who has not been there can not tell much about itg and one who has, will not. Through little hints and whisperings, it has been learned, however, that it is the time when the Seniors invite the Juniors to come out to bury the hatchet and to smoke the peace-pipe in the good old Indian way and thus end all the strife that there may have been between the two classes. In the winter of 1894-5, there was a lively rivalry between literary societies in the production of society papers. One of these, The Tack, read at a Philo meeting, met with such success that permanent organization was proposed. In the congenial at- mosphere of a banquet, plans were made for a Tack in 1895. The first editor-in- chief was F. C. Aldinger. The first issue, in magazine form, was published in the Vidette oflice, bound on a sewing machine, and its covers pasted on by hand. Since then, it has grown from a primarily literary magazine to a semi-monthly paper of college news, known as the Buena Vista Tack . I Q K 22 il I9-RUDDER-19 -Q J I , ..2 .b..:.emH?.Lf 35.516-5 A special edition of The Tack first published in May, 1903, was the forerunner of the Rudder. It contained pictures, calendar, and many other features of the Rudder as we know it now. The first book to be known as the Rudder was published in 1907 by the class of 1908, consisting of two young women, Miss Mabel Luhmann and Miss Laura McLean. Since then the Rudder has known many and various forms but it has persisted and is now so much a. part of the school that no Junior class would think of failing in its duty to produce the best Rudder yet . These have been among the gifts of the past quarter-century. Let us honor them and add to them so that at the end of the next quarter-century the students of Buena Vista may hold a doubly rich heritage. And let us strive to establish a spirit which will grow and be worthy of the greater college which we shall see when we return from the world's work to our Alma Mater. lWa,l'e neu' friends but keep the old, For those are sil-ver and these are gold. sc A 1 , ,-'Jr I ,ff Tmdzfzon Maleery by fx- 1 , .

And now, standing on the hilltop, we look back over the winding road of memory. We live again the experiences which come back to us retouched by the hand of time. We live again the first day of school: the battles with the Sophomoresg the paint on the roof: our first impressions of lN'Iiss Wilcox, the various contests on field, platform, and stage: the incessant round of lessons broken at rare intervals by vacations or skip-days, and at regular intervals by examinations: the work: the play: the joys: the sorrows. All these and many other memories come vividly to mind again as we think of the times that are past. A detailed account of these events would yield a class history in the ordinary sense of the word. But there is a deeper significance to the idea of a class history. It will be revealed as we ask each member of the class of 1918 this question, VVhat change has four years in Buena Vista wrought in your life? We are seven, and we answer as follows: J. Stewart Brown: Buena Vista has taught me that it is not what is on a man, but what is in a man, that counts. Genevieve Benedict: lNIy ideas of the outside world have been broadened by the pursuit of certain subjects: and the close contact with the students has broadened the social me . Florence Mitchell: Four years in B. V. have helped me Hnd myself-a growth from an irresponsible Freshman to one who tries to bear her share of the burden, and heed her call to duty. Ralph L. lN'Iarten: A deeper and broader understanding of what the world offers, and of its demands upon those who occupy places which the prepared alone can hold. Russell Ensign: VVith such a rich heritage, no one will answer for me if I fail to remove one gigantic obstruction to the progress of Christian civilization. lXIerrill Drury: Nothing has wrought a bigger change in my life. Only those who know me can understand. I am glad that B. V. ordered me to Right Face and then Forward march. . F. L. llarousekz Buena Vista introduced me first to myself and then to the needs of the world. In addition, she gave me the materials for furthering these acquaintances. -Class Historian 19-RUDDER-If X 6' .. in Q . T' X -fl K X 2 , lf. Ng . , K 4 gvyx ' ' ax S a , 'fix x K.

She draws, plays the cello, and makes A grades, but, perhaps best of all, she has the trait of always thinking of others first. JOHN LAIRD PARKHILL john has enlisted .in the aviation corps and is waiting for his call. People may get nervous when he is making explosives or driving his Ford but he always stops just short of disaster. He is ready to help, has original ideas, and can play foot-ball. MARY ELINOR CHAPMAN Mary has independent ideas and courage to express them. She believes in doing things well and so makes an excellent com- mittee member. She has been English as- sistant for the last two years. .X G A Z .1 Q xx 19 ffjir xieid I I s A x l ff ff lllil K 05 IO-RUDDER-I9 LUCILE NIARIE SLAGLE IIWIIEH she will, she will, and you may depend on it.

In her quiet, business-like way she accomplishes more than many a person who makes twice the fuss. ESTH ER RIARIE AITKEN Esther is faithful and loyal and depend- able.

Gilmore came from Mel- bourne, Australia, where most of his gen- eral education was obtained. Later he at- tended the Minnesota State University and played on the Varsity', eleven. He was induced to take time from his Civil Engineering Work in this county to help B. V. work up a good team this year. Coach Gilmore certainly Whipped the men into shape and injected into them the spiritiof pep and enthusiasm that filled his own being. , 4 W if , v.-J QN- Af ff A Gtflvyfa 10-RUDDER-10 fs, wif liz flw f I CARL NAMUR 'iNamur Namur was elected captain of the team this year on ac- count of the brilliant game he played at tackle last year, and the admirable qualities he displayed in the heat of a game as well as in his every-day life. Always cool and collected, never imposing on any one, he played a nearly faultless game. When a certain distance had to be made the ball was always played through his position. It is J. STEWART BROWN l'Stewie VVe would like to say that he was there with the stuff. He may not be so very large, but he sure can stay by it in a game.

He is not only a l'peppy player in a game, but he believes in get- ting out and working every afternoon, rain or shine. As he had always played end before this year, he will prob- ably do even better next season at half back than he did this. A MERRILL DRURY Drury Here is another man that from his appearance you would think was not made for a football player but was pretty good just the same. You could count on him pass- ing the ball just where you wanted it. He may not be a wall on defense, but he could be found under the pile nearly every time. 4 ,I ,gfwf 10-RUDDER 19 4 ' N ! ffl ' 1 A r' ill' I l V K f I :ZV . f l ' ' it DON AMBLER 'tDon I E X' V Q .,- f Y He did some mighty good playing at his old high 9 6 L.. i ' school position of end this year, even though he did play ' .Y under an alias in most of the games.

But it is doubtful if most of the more brilliant players would stay by the game if they got as much football as Russell does. George Uiebl, who is now in France, also played during the greater part of the season. 1 l l ,, -B .'1 1 1 fl- x'f:z'f XLT I0-RUDDER-I9 The Football Season In Buena Vista last fall, as in many other colleges, the outlook for the football sea- son was anything but encouraging. Cancelling the schedule was considered. There were only two of last year's team back and a coach could not be secured. Nevertheless the men who were here decided to go ahead and do their best, despite the fact that so many of our best players had gone to war. Several days after practice had started a coach was secured in the person of C. E. Gilmore. The coach and the men worked together for all that was in them, making the school proud of the spirit which held in defeat as well as victory. Ellsworth, October 12 14-6 in favor of B. V. is the way our football schedule for this year begins. The game was hard fought from beginning to end. During the first half B. V. was on the defensive. But in the second half Ellsworth was thrown into the defensive and B. V. smashed down the line like a steam roller. I Yankton, October 26 41-15 in favor of Yankton. After this game a number of men and an official said that B. V. really outplayed Yankton and showed better material. But through lack of knowledge of technicalities on the part of her players, and some extraordinary luck for her opponents, B. V. lost the game. Dubuque, November 16 This was the day when the feather-weight, B. V., went up against the heavy-weight, Dubuque, the day when the fall track meet was held in Dubuque. It is enough to say that, with unrelenting pounding, and unmerciful persistence, they beat us by a score of 10,862 or some such number. We did not think to keep count. Q Trinity, November 23 Trinity vs. Buena Vista 27-O in favor of Trinity. This is the first time Trinity has defeated B. V. for several years. Our men were pretty badly crippled from the pounding they had received at the hands of Dubuque the previous week or the score might have been different. And so ended the 1917 football season, unsuccessful, perhaps, when judged by the score board, but decidedly successful when judged by the amount of pep, loyalty, and hard work called forth by it. 1 1 'f ', 1' i .,5 .jk . 1 7 , ,.?5 'ff , ,J ,,.. -- .,,, xfk pkg iff ip 25. ll4,g lil. .lx I9-RUDDER-10 The Track Team I l'ru1u'l1, li, f'1'n1u-ll, llullnvs, '1'm'k0Imn, Ful 0-RUDDER-I9 ,Q Girls, Basketball Squad' 4fX 19-RUDDER-I9 October 12 October 26, November 16, November 23 May 2, May 9, The 1917 Score Board FOOTBALL Ellsworth 6 Buena Vista Yankton -ll Buena Vista Dubuque 125 Buena Vista Trinity 27 Buena Vista BASEBALL Buena Vista 1-l VVestern Union 7 Buena Vista 7 Trinity TRACK The Hawkeye Conference llleet at Dubuque College, lllay 26 Buena Vista representatives made thirty-six points, winning second place in the meet.

As so many had reported, more equipment was needed and the first work consisted in washing dishes. In spite of the apparent lack of skill on the part of some, the task was successfully com- pleted. Some at least could claim clean hands if not clean aprons. To counteract the evil effects which might arise as the result of such stimulating work, the pupils tried their skill at making coffee. The result looked and smelled like coffee, as to taste-well, they manfully rose to the occasion and to the tradition, Eat everything you cook. Interest in inhaling the fumes of their own cooking brought the class out in full force for the next lesson when corn bread and corn pones were mastered. The making of pancakes, that most simple and most palatable dish, followed. It appeared, however, at close range, that they were not so simple to make as it seemed and that they were not equally palatable in all cases being seemingly dependent upon the skill of the cook. The testing of a new aluminum griddle was an interesting feature of this lesson on pancakes with the result that one future demonstrator of aluminum-ware had some burned fingers and some ruined pancakes.

Considerable trouble was experienced by some in removing the shells of the eggs and in peeling the bacon which some insisted upon salting. One would-be housekeeper was caught in the act of and was duly reprimanded for disposing of the egg shells by the simple expedient of throwing them out of a window, unwittingly open beside the desk. The embryo cooks celebrated their last lesson by preparing breakfast over a camp fire. The proof of their ability was shown in the crisp bacon, delicious pancakes and piping hot coffee. After breakfast, in true primitive fashion, they repaired to the water's edge to wash and scour their simple cooking utensils. A little bird in a near-by tree looked on in wonder. VVhat could it mean? For were those not stalwart men with broad shoulders crouching there? And were they not talking enthusiastically of the joys of cooking and the still greaterjoys of dish washing? VVhat could have inspired these most worthy descendants of Adam to study the arts of woman's realm? Pondering long the little bird thought, Can it be that they are studying camp cookery, can it be that they are going to demonstrate superior cooking utensils for a summer pastime, or can it be that they are looking into the future, hoping to become a real helpmate to Her? The little bird flew away to think no more of the strange affair. Returning a year later, she found no breakfast camp-fire and no industrious group on the lake shore. Neither were they to be found at the red building on the hill from which they had strayed that bright May morning. XVhere were thev? They had wandered far, many of them wearing the khaki but each carrying with him pleasant memories of that class in cooking.

We are all sorry because Dr. Echlin is leaving Buena Vista to take a church at Rolfe, Iowa. He made his farewell speech in chapel on the tenth and it sure was a dandy. A couple of days later we had a reception for him. The same day there was a patriotic parade that was made up of college students, school kids, and old soldiers. The next day we started military drill on the campus. Most of us are about as good at it as an old cow and Fulton gets madder than the dickens. C. A. Kennedy, the State Y. M. C. A. secretary, sure did make a good speech on the war in chapel the day of the parade. He didn't rave very much, but he made a fellow feel that something awful was happening. . Gee, but it's fun to play tennis with Geno . Art Riedesel is the new tennis manager. We have started a camp-cookery class and meet every Saturday. About the only trouble I have is to tell which pan to fry eggs in. They had frogs to cut up in biology class last week. I hate to monkey with the slippery little things. The day after we cut up the frogs, they dismissed all classes and had the annual clean up day. Gee, but we had fun that day. The 1918 Rudder is out. It sure is a dandy. I will bring one home with me next week. All the girls got invited to a lunch at lNIrs. Edson's on the 26th. I suppose they thought the boys would Cat too much. Well, good-bye till next week.

For four long years I have been look- ing forward to the joy of being a graduate but now that my wish is realized, I find that it brings not only joy but at least a little regret-regret at the thought of leaving the people and the things that have become so dear to me. But there has been no time for regret during these last two weeks. 6, 7, 8. The college track meet, farewell chapel, examinations, and the boys' play, The Colonel's lNfIaid, made the first days seem short. 10. The Sing Out was on Saturday night and according to custom the Bacca- laureate service was held in the morning and the Christian Association service in the evening of the Sunday before graduation day. lXIonday morning the Juniors and Seniors smoked the Pipe of Peace, an inter- esting custom which was originated several years ago. A recital by the music students on Moriday evening and Tree Day Exer- cises Tuesday morning filled the time until VVednesday which was the fullest day of all. The degrees were conferred in the morning, a patriotic pageant, in which Ada Holmes acted as Columbia, was given in the afternoon, and the Board of Trustees entertained the student body, faculty, and high school seniors at a banquet in the evening. Truly, these two weeks have been full. Indeed, every week of my four years in college has given me so many good things that I feel that it is my turn now to be giving. So if there is a regret in leaving my Alma lIater it is only a passing regret, for I am glad-glad that I am ready to carry out our motto, Education for Service . Your friend, who is now A CIRADUATE. ,fl IO RUDDER I9 Q75 KJ V skgg X X9 M 1 X, 10-RUDDER-10 SEPTEMBER My dear Polly: I should have written to you long before this but I've been pretty busy getting started with my college work. I suppose you would like to know all about what has happened since I've been here. On the first day, September Il, I registered. I didn't know much about where to go but a very nice girl told me to go down on the first floor and make out my course. Well, there didn't seem to be much choice, for I had to take this and I had to take that. b I got through all right the next day even if I did get mixed up and some of the older students laughed at me. In the evening the Y. IVI. and Y. W. receptions were held. Of course I couldn't go to the Y. M. one. They called theirs a stag or something like that and they didn't have to dress up as we did. The next day we had chapel and President Olinger introduced the new faculty members. Of course, they were all new to me. Cn the night ofthe 1-lth the Star and Franklin Literary Societies gave the new students a reception. It was on the last floor up in the society halls. I couldn't tell from the way they treated us nor from the looks, which one I should join. A week later the Stars entertained us at their President's home and the next week the Franklins entertained us in their hall. We had a good time at both places. Y But the best time we had was on skip-day . VVe went to Cherokee and played all day. A bunch of Sophomores came up to have some fun with us CI don't know whatj but got scared-so scared we neither saw nor heard them. The girls had even skipped the Red Cross open afternoon the VVomen's League was giving. VVell, you must be tired by this time, so I'll stop. Hurrah for B. VJ It's great! Lovingly, A FRESHMAN GIRL. 10-RUDDER-10 M QCTOBER Snacks from a Diary Carl Namur elected captain of football team to take John Fulton's place.

Don White was chosen to take George Brandt's place and Dr. Storey to take Lieut. Sohm's place. Y. M. and Y. W. decided to change their time of meeting. After this they will meet at Chapel time on Wednesday. First snow storm. How shall we celebrate? Woman's League conundrum supper. It was lots of fun ordering your supper, and not knowing what to expect. Yank-Yankton, but Yankton yanked us. Don White and Stewart Brown re- ceived pretty black eyes.

You know, says Eunice, I never could see Why the Freshman boyshad to muss their hair up so that day We Sophomore girls wore our curls. KK N ever mind, the Dean couldn't see why either. But, really, the time of all times was that Christmas party at Dr. Olinger's. Oh, that coon-hunt, and that plum pudding! Yes, you are right, Opal. But say, people, let's go home and get to bed or We may miss the morning trains and it's home tomorrow-home for two whole weeks.

We've been having contests in everything from oratory to caroms this month. VVe're all glad that Dewey placed in the preliminary oratorical contest at Ellsworth, and wasn't it great that we won both of the Triangular Debates? VVe girls are learning to do everything these days. The girls on the Student Council had complete charge of the extra number of the lecture course, Princess VVatahwaso's Company. Everyone was pleased with her-she is a real Indian. Several of the girls and Professor Haglund attended a Y. RI. and Y. VV. Conference in Des Nloines from the 15th to the 18th. It was Babe's first visit to a city and you ought to hear the others tell about the questions she asked. -22. lVIr. Voorhies, from Rockwell City, was here for the week of prayer. Dr. MacDonald gave an address on the afternoon of the day of prayer. The next day, at a patriotic meeting, the G. A. R. and the VV. R. C. presented a flag to the college. The Seniors have been favored lately. Bliss VVilcox, bliss Cooke, and llrs. VVellmerling entertained them and the faculty at a tea after the Hag presen- tation, and the animal Senior-Sophomore banquet was the next evening. Oh, well, we'll be Seniors some day.

M. C. A. Secretary l f I l I He took out his pocket-book to pay for the stamps he had bought and I saw there the picture of a girl. Ever on the watch for the gateway that will open one of the devious avenues into a man's life, I asked a question regarding the photograph and he, glad to talk to somebody about home, was in a few moments telling me about his wife and children. It was the twenty-second of December and he longed to see them. The next evening my task was the same-trying to serve the lads who had left all. Suddenly, as I was giving out stationery and selling stamps, a hand was placed on my shoulder and looking up I saw the man with whom l had talked the night before. His voice was trembling with excitement. I am going home tomorrow, he said. The story was soon told. Ten men out of each company were to have furloughs. Who shoul-d go was to be decided by drawing. He had been unlucky but another more fortunate than he, had given his number to him. The captain had gladly acquiesced and now he was going home, and somehow the word seems sweeter than ever a day or two before Christmas. A little later that night I met the man who loved his home and who might have gone but who had given it up for another's sake. He was dressed as are two million more and his attire gave him no glamour. He seemed older than most, he had none of that attractive irresponsibility of youth, his eyes were steadier, and his mouth more firmly set. I talked to him but his words were few and he was unconscious of any heroism. In my eyes his deedfwas encircled with the shadow of a cross, but in his mind there was no connection between this home-going sacrificed for another's sake and the central story in the Testaments which we give away at the desk of the regimental service when we bow together. He had never thought that these things are worthy of a place in life only as they express themselves in deeds like his. The following day as I crossed the parade grounds, I saw this man with a dozen others standing before as many suspended bundles of willow withes, busy at bayonet practice. I listened to those suggestive commands, Long thrust, Downward slash, Butt strike, and I saw visions of torn bodies and crushed skulls. The man who had sacrificed for another's sake was throwing himself with all his energy into the drill. He was learning to slay and, strangely enough, this task did not seem inconsistent with the kindly light in his eyes nor yet with his unselfish act of yes- terday. He had been compelled by the draft to leave his ways of peace but day by day he was doing more than he was compelled to do, for no power can compel a man to put spirit into his task. Miiid and body had been forced into strange ways in order that he might have a share in making the world safe and happy for all. As I turned away from the gleaming bayonets lunging and slashing, I found my- self wishing that he would learn well how to kill, for I knew that some day everything ,I X J 1 .21 -...,- E i A I! 'U ,i ff! -, X Q, Q-A I9-RUDDER-19 .rrfj T I if 1 llx, would depend on how adept he had become in this task. We cannot afford to lose lives like his and somewhere two little girls and a mother want to say, Thank you, l to a man who gave up a Christmas at home so that their joy might be full. HAROLD LANCASTER HGW SCHOOL BEGINS Bravado, that fain would mask conscious timidity Tending to shrink into corners obscure, Swallowing knowledge with hungry avidity, lmpudent, humble, proud, and demure, T I-lere's to the Freshman, the pride of the college, The hope of the Faculty, Juniors' best tool. Green, but bright green, for they're seeking for knowledge- That is the Freshmen, the first week of school. Eager to hurl themselves into the heart of it, Full of vivacity clear to the brim, Lowly enough to assume the hard part of it, Nlighty enough to attack it with vim, Hastening on stairs and loitering in hallways, Adoring the Seniors like any wise fool - These are the signs of the Sophomore class, always The full flood of life in the veins of the school. Greetings that ring with a hearty concernedness As each that returned were a prodigal son, ln converse with Seniors displaying their learnedness, Watchiiig for Freshmen to welcome each one. And oh, how the Freshmen adore and revere them, Those who so heartily welcome them in. I-lere's to the Juniors-may good fortune cheer them, For thus does the year for the Juniors begin. Back to the school again! oh, the glad thrill of itl Echoes awake that have slumber-ed a while, The warm clasp of greeting, the royal good will of it, The glad recognition that leaps in the smile, Newly donned dignity conscious of glory, Eager to enter their long deferred rule, ,, Z Not yet sighing last time , that touching old story, That is the Seniors the first week of school.

' .nfl-0---s-s-+4-s M . l urfif - l v SQ ff 1 ' 4.7 T i ww s ' e e - To Des Moines in a Ford Qne Friday morning in the fall of '17, five illustrious Buena Vista boys, namely: Redenbaugh, Dad,', Hemp, Stewie, and John, started for Des llloines in one of Henry's early masterpieces. They were fortunate enough to have the goose-neck of the horn, the wheel-base, a can of tire-cement, a no-work jack, and a pump that wouldn't pump. John was desirous of being economical so did not burden his Henry with either extra tubes or tires. The air was refreshing, the roads good, and everything savoured of a fine trip. Nothing molested the steady progress of the boys until noon, when a front tire went down . The can of cement was soon brought into play, the tire repaired, and the pump'y applied. They dined at Carroll, then went on until they observed the front tire again going down, but being near a town, Henry was obliged to get to the garage in this crip- pled condition where a new inner tube was procured and some oil and gas injected. Then again the boys pursued their intention, Des llloines or bust . Unfortunately, the garage men had neglected to close the pet-cock and the oil ran out, causing the engine to bake and stop dead a few rods from a farm house, where John obtained some oil. Night came on with Des lyloines miles away and John realized with great balls of mudn, that they had no lights. A flashlight was immediately brought into play and Henry proceeded wonderfully over the strange road. An application for a room in a barn was rejected but information was given as to the location of a country store where a luxurious supply of pickles, crackers, peanut-butter, and cookies was obtained. llleanwhile John stole, rented, borrowed, or bought a' bulb, which gave them suflicient light to search for a school-house where they might eat and spend a peaceful night. john, however, was anxious to have a good night's rest and, with the assistance of a few drops of rain, convinced the boys that they had better get to some town for the night. The first town they came to was Dallas Center. John, anxious to preserve the shine on his car, ran it under the eaves of the hotel. Hemp concluded that night . 3 sf I9-RUDDER-I0 ' sl X C that if one wanted a good sleep it was better to steal the quilts from both beds and sleep on the floor than to sleep in the middle with his head toward either the foot or the head of the bed. The next morning the boys decided it would be much better to see Camp Dodge before going to Des Moizies, so with mud flying in every direction, they sped on to the camp. There they saw many wonderful sights which the writer feels incapable to describe, more than to say that the magnitude of the camp and the number of men in training were certainly astounding. Perhaps the greatest sight was the great mass of khaki clothed men in review before General Plummer. At noon the boys were treated to a regular army feed by Corporal Hood. John was anxious to get some souvenir, such as a bayonet, machine gun, or saddle, but the inaccessability of the supply house made this practically impossible and the boys headed for Des Nloines empty-handed. In Des Moines they had opportunity to see the Capitol building, the Historical building, the Library, and a steam-shovel as well as a Hgood show at night. Rooms were hard to obtain and some of them were obliged to get their first experience in sleeping on an army cot in the'Army Y. M. C. A. hotel, which further necessitated their leaving the show before it was over, as the hotel closed its doors at eleven bells . Sunday morning came clear and warm, and John rejoiced to find his faithful Henry in the street just where he had left it the night before. The trip home via Ames, Boone, Jefferson, Carroll, Lake View, and Storm Lake, was made with few mishaps outside of stops for air, gas, feed , and repairs. lt is quite unnecessary to say that it was a tired but exceedingly happy bunch that rolled onto the familiar pavements about seven o'clock Sunday evening.
