[19] THE JUNIORS [2(1 The Juniors From the starting point the enterprising nature of the Junior Class has been shown by the help its masculine portion has given in reaping victories along the lines of football, basketball, tennis and track work. In addition to its capacity for furnishing worthy combatants, an enter- prise along a still different line appeared even in the Freshman year of this class in an innovation known as the Butler French Club, which, however, met with an early death, due chiefly to the fact that the majority of its members left Butler to enter fields of Pedagogy. The girls of the class have been particularly active in various phases of Y. W. work, from dressing dolls for the Christmas settlement chil- dren to enforcing attendance at mission study classes. The climax of the social life of Butler for the year 1912-13 was reached in the Junior Prom, held at Woodruff Place Club House on the evening of F ' ebruary second. The grand march was led by President Ed Lewis and Vice-President Marie Peacock. If the early career of the class in -arious strifes was a foreshadowing of what it was to meet in its Junior year, the struggle for maintaining the old custom of editing a year book was that for which that preparatory course was intended. In the face of much opposition, the persistent efforts of the Drift staff on behalf of the class succeeded in producing the Drift, modified somewhat in form from those of former years, at the suggestion of the Faculty. However, it maintains the custom that the Juniors have adhered to for years back, of assuming the responsibility of editing a Year Book for Butler. The officers of the class of 1914 are: President Ed. Lewis; Vice-Presi- dent, Marie Peacock; Secretary, Mable M. Felt; Treasurer, Robert Buck. [21] - -. --- !%, THE SOPHOMORES [22] The Sophomores From those Olympic heights to which they have ascended in the brief space of one year the class of 1915 upholds the lofty reputation which they won so speedily. A year ago their great success in all student activities was termed but the precocity of infants. Now the fairly won laurels decorate their humble brows. As Freshmen they both conformed to, and broke down the trammels of custom. They conformed with the usual non-resultant class election. They upset the custom of years by handily beating the Sophomores in the annual football scrap. This meteoric success has been continued. All precedents were over- thrown by the institution of the Sophomore Hop which proved the chief social event of the year. Football, basketball, debating, oratory, have alike brought honor to the class. May this progress upward and upward be continued until the class of 1915, to its last member, has reached the zenith of its college career, — a sheepskin. The officers are: President ------ Harold Summerlin Vice-President ------ Hazel Gay Secretary ----.. Mary Jackson Treasurer -..--. Albert Tucker [23] ' - ys« :•■ • ' ■- .-f ' ' ' -. ■- i - .■ l IMz M THE FRESHMEN [24] The Freshmen It was with a right merry heart that we came across the campus tor the first time last September. The driving rain that fell in torrents during matriculation day could not dampen our spirits nor drown our desire to become the most wonder- ful of P eshman classes. We had rosy visions of seeing our respective names published on the honor roll of the college. Had we not every reason to be sanguine as to our work? Did not the report card, which we had tucked in a corner of our trunk at the last moment, give proof of our brilliant high school career? But alas! a very few of us ha ' e startled the professors with unusual precocity. The work which would have brought us an A in high school was scarcely deemed worthy of a C, and thus have oiu- castles been toppled down. The officers of this worthy class are: President --------- Merle Smith Vice-President ----- Geraldine Eppert Secretary and Treasurer ------ Ralph Tapscott [25] BONA THOMPSON MEMORIAL (College Library) [26] Organizations [27] COLLEGIAN STAFF [28] The Butler Collegian The Butler Collegian is the so-called official organ of Butler College. Its policy IS governed by the editor, subject to the oversight of the faculty. It was founded in 1886 as a monthly literary magazine and was pub- lished by the five literary societies of the college . In 1899 The Collegian became a news weekly as at present, with a monthly literary supplement which has been discontinued. This was a step, according to the editor at that time toward the final goal of journalism, a daily journal. I ' his final goal has not yet been reached, although there are those who still hope to see the day when Butler College can issue a daily newspaper. [29] YOUNG WOMEN ' S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION CABINET [30] Young Women ' s Christian Association The past year has been the most prosperous in the history of the Butler College Young Women ' s Christian Association. The meetin gs have been unusually interesting and well attended. The meetings each week have been of various kinds — several of musical nature, Bible study, reports of the foreign missionary field, and plans for our Geneva delegates. The girls have taken a deeper interest in the Christamore Settlement and have taken charge of several classes there. The annual doll show was held before the holidays and the dolls with proceeds derived from the show were presented to the Settlement. The social side of the Association has not been neglected. In addi- tion to the usual joint reception in the fall, spreads have been held in the Y. W. C. A. rooms at various times. The Mission Study Class is progressing and has an average atten- dance of fifty members. This class is under the leadership of Professor C. T. Paul. ■ [. 1] Y. M. C. A. CABINET [M] Y. M. C A. The Y. M. C. A. of Butler College has been doing better and iiuire extensive work this year than it has ever done before. Its cabinet is composed of men noted tor their energy and ability, and its work is planned and executed by various strong and efficient com- mittees. It has a membership of 25. Both the State and City organizations have assisted the Association very materially in securing good speakers. Some of the best known professional and business men in the City have addressed the men at the mid-week meetings upon interesting and inspiring subjects. The Association has also supplied men for teaching foreign classes., conducting boy ' s clubs and charitable work. A gospel team of fi ' e men did excellent work at Kirklin, Intiiana, dur- ing the Christmas holidays. Upon the broad plane of the interest of its cabinet in the religious welfare of the men of the College, has been erected an organization that attempts to touch each man in his everyday life, and in such a way that he will never forget the spiritual impressions of his College days. [33] THE PHILOKUREAX LITERARY SOCIETY [34] The Philokurean Literary Society I he Philokurean Literary Society, the second oldest organization in Butler College, was organized in 1870 at the old orthwestern Chris- tian University. In its conception the Society was exclusively for the benetit of minis- terial students and no women were admitted. After several years of prosperous existence the Society was reorganized. Its privileges were extended to other than students preparing for the ministry. During the years of the existence of Philo in Butler College, it has been known solely as a literary society, admitting to its membership both men and women.

Its membership consists of students who are interested in, and who are preparing themselves for religious work. This well-organized body of young men has regular meetings on the second and fourth Fridays of each month of the school year. At these meetings a lunch is served and a program rendered. Elvin E.

F. Carey McCallum Karl Means Hugh Shields Karl Turner [37] THE CHEMISTRY CLUB [38] The Chemistry Club 1 he Chemistry Ckib was reorganized during the present year. The Club is composed of all members of the various Chemistry departments. The object of the organization is to give to the members a detailed knowledge of some phase of applied chemistry. The Club meets every two weeks at which meetings, papers are read which have been prepared by members along lines of general interest. Several interesting addresses have been given by expert chemists. The officers of the Club are, Mayne Parker President and Ralph Arnold, Secretary. [39] Q f- f © r 1 n a THE PRESS CLUB [40] The Press Club The Press Club is the only organization in college devoted to the study of any particular profession. Its purpose is to study journalism and to bring together socially the newspaper men of the college. The club organized early in the fall term and has been holding bi-weekly meetings regularly. At these meetings, which are held at the fraternity houses, an Indianapolis journalist speaks, and an informal smoker and luncheon is held. The club will complete the year with a banquet com- mencement week. The officers are : Robert Armstrong - - - - - - President Robert Buck ------ Vice-President Robert Hamp ------ Secretary Murray Mathews -------- Treasurer The club holds a charter in the Indiana Intercollegiate Press Associa- tion, which will hold its annual convention as the guests of the Butler Club next fall. Two members of the Butler Club are officers of the state association, Robert Armstrong, president, and Howard Caldwell, corre- sponding secretary. [41] DEBATE AND ORATORY [42] Debate and Oratory In Debate and Oratory Butler has had a successful year in spite of the fact that the squad was developed almost entirely out of green material. The great need at Butler is for a continuous debate class which will prepare men for the work on the squad. Two separate debates were held this year. Earlham College met defeat in the Butler chapel at the hands of an entirely inexperienced team com- posed of Paul Ward, captain; John Moffat and Bruce Robison. On March 20 a new team, composed of Robert D. Armstrong, captain; Paul Ward and Ralph Arnold journeyed to Albion, Michigan to debate Albion College, well known as the strongest college in Debate in the middle west. Butler lost by a narrow margin, the judges admitting that the Albion men were saved only by their splendid delivery. In both debates Butler upheld the negative of the question: Resolved that the President of the United States should be elected for a term of six years and should be ineligible for re-election. In Oratory, Butler was creditably represented by Robert D. Armstrong, who, in spite of lack of experience, secured third place on manuscript.

A very delightful musical program had been arranged and several clever readings were given. The next event of general interest was the series of afternoons known as Social Assemblies to which all women of the college were in -ited. These delightful periods were suggested by Miss Katherine Graydon who secured the services of IVliss Anna Stanton. The final Assembly was a cotillion. The dining hall and drawing room were thrown together, excellent music was furnishetf by piano and drums, and cotillion favors were bright colored and attractive, adding much to the beauty of the scene. A huge bouquet of yellow chrysanthemums was presented to Miss Stanton by the members of the Lotus Club, under whose auspices the Social .Assem- blies were given. During the following term the Lotus Club gave a matinee dance at the Residence for the college girls. A large attendance, good music, and delicious refreshments made a delightful afternoon. Two dinner parties have been given at the Residence this year. The first was in observance of the coming holidays at Christmas and the guests included Miss Graydon, Mr. and iVIrs. Chauncy Butler, Mr. and Mrs. Kenyon, Mr. and Mrs. Danton, and Mr. and IVIrs. Putnam. A turkey was placed at each end of the two long tables and the four gentlemen to whose lot it fell to carve, proved themselves experts, though ' tis whis- pered that some credit should be given Vogt for tender turkeys and Nathan for sharp carving knives. The place cards were decorated with holly designs and the tables were beautiful with tall vases of red carnations and flat decorations of asparagus vines and ferns. [631 The second dinner was given on St. Patrick ' s Day to celebrate the close of the winter term. Everything possible was in green in honor of old Ireland from the Irish spuds liberally sprinkled with parsley to the green and white ice cream and the frosted cake crowned with mint cherries. The place cards were decorated with small Hags of Erin. Among the most delightful of the many charming hospitalities ex- tended in Irvington on Founder ' s Day was the luncheon in honor of the visiting mothers of the young ladies who live at the Residence. The dining room, with tables decorated in great clusters of yellow daffodds and lighted by yellow candles set in quaint low holders, suggested a spring day in its bright coloring. Among the guests were: Mrs. Grace Davis of Indianapolis; Mrs. I. N. McCash of Cincinnati; Mrs. T. F. Askren of Cumberland; Mrs. F. L. Smock of Southport; Mrs. T. P. Kinder of Greenfield; Mrs. Ida Boos of Indianapolis, and Mrs. D. O. Thomas of Minneapolis. During the winter term Miss Butler and the young ladies of the Residence have observed the second Monday of each month as an at home day. A very large number of Indianapolis and Irvington friends took advantage of the opportunity to call on these days. The rooms were always bright and pretty with lights and flowers and one was always sure of a cup of tea among a delightful company of college girls. The Lotus Club This is an association whose object is the bringing together socially of the young women in College, thus encouraging friendly intercourse among them. The club is governed by an executive board elected at the end of each year.

[65] Freshmen Poetry ODE TO A FROG Oh frog, that sits in a bright tin pan, Blinking your eyes as only frogs can. Tell me, I pray, do you dread vivisection— To be cut up alive for class inspection? Amphibian of motley hue, I weep to stick my knife in you; But froggie dearj I can ' t relent, In search of knowledge I am bent. Sweet Haustier (as the Germans say), Your nerves, your veins I know, versteh. But what your life is, what makes you — To that, I own, I ' ve found no clue. AURORA The morning gray is creeping o ' er The hazy eastern sky. The waves are dashing on the shore, The ships are passing by As on the ocean ' s brink I wait. Till rosy fingered dawn Is ushered through the opening gate, Aurora leading on. Behold! she comes majestic, grand! Her garments brilliant, gay. Accompanied by a fairy band. She brings the perfect day. THE MAGIC IN JUNE Lie on the grass where the raveled clouds edges. Wind-swift, trail surges of shadows along. Close both your eyes — know the blue ' s still above you, Under you, earth, and beside you, a song. Fill all your soul with the smell of the dusty, Fragrant, half-stifling breath of the road. Winding, forgetting itself on the hillside, Under that summer cloud ' s cumbrous load. Lose all your logic, your why and your wherefore — Can ' t you forget that your world ' s out of tune? — Follow your fancy away on the wind ' s wings. Only remember — the magic in June. [66] fe. TULETiat cUjVx [67] Football The football season of the fall of 19 I 2 was one of the most successful ill the history of Butler. The men worked hard and faithfully and deserve great praise for their untiring efforts to bring glory to the White and Blue. Too much credit can not be given to the coach George Cullen Thomas for the showing of the team. He not only taught the men how it was done, but in- stilled spirit and fight into them. The early season prospects were excellent and the candidates for positions on the team could be found toiling e ' ery afternoon. A large squad of candidates reported and started the grind. Later the number began to dwindle and it was hard to Hnd enough men to get scrimmage practice. When the first call was sounded old B men who were present were Morgan, Burkhart, Tucker, Paul, Pavey, Badger, Summer- lin, Stermont, Lewis, and MuUane. This was the largest num- ber of B men who had returned to school for several years and their spirit was soon instilled into the new men. Every man was for the new coach and upon this spirit the machine which was to Hght for Butler was built. Oct. 5. The first game fulfilled the fondest hopes of any Butlerite when the team came out victorious over Hanover by the score 54 to 0. Oct. 12. Again the team was victorious and won laurels from the Franklin team with the score of 25 to 0. This game was played at Franklin and was a hard fought victory. The Franklin team played a good game and were in the scrimmage until the last minute. Pete Morgan proved the star of the game with his long end runs and successful forward passes. Oct. 18. The Wabash Little Giants proved too much for us at Crawfordsville and we went down to defeat 47 to 0. The men played a hard game and deserved credit in defeat. Oct. 26. We defeated Earlham 13 to 0. The game was played on Irwin Field. This was the first time that we had de- feated Farlham in three years and all Butler went wild. The players fought to a deserved ' ictory. Not one minute could a man be seen out of position or fighting with less than every ounce of strength. The work of Pete .Morgan was sensa- tional and wonderful. The I ' .arlham men were unable t j hcild him and he carried the ball for the Butler points. Nov. 1. Transylvania was defeated by Butler 28 to U at Lexington Kentucky on a muddy field. The FransyUania team did not show the expected strength and the victory was easily won. Xov. 9. Butler defeated Moores Hill 52 to 14 on Irwin Field after a rest following the long trip to Kentucky. The Moores Hill team showed up well at times and succeedetl in scoring two touch downs. Nov. 16. Butler went to Greencastle to meet the DePauw team and was defeated 17 to 3. The Butler men seemed unable to get together in the usual style and the DePauw men carried the ball at will. Nov. 28. The season closed with a final defeat for us at the hands of the Rose Poly team by the score of 13 to 6. I ' he game was played at Terre Haute. The Butler team at times outplayed their opponents but were unable to win the game. Sixteen men were awarded sweater coats bearing the official Butler monogram in honor of the work done during the foot- ball season. Every man who has the honor of being allowed the coveted insignia must represent Butler in at least six hal -es in regular games. The following men were awarded the monograms: John Pete Morgan, Jesse Pavey, Everett Badger, Charles Good, Verl Wise, Justus Paul, Dan Mullane, Glen Wise, Clarence Burkhart, WinHeld Stermont, Louis Kirkhoff, .Albert Tucker, Harold Summerlin, Ralph Tapscott, Arthur Lockhart, Captain Edwin Lewis.

C ' • B • • BASKETBALL TEAM [70] Basketball The start of the season was delayed greatly. The lack of practice early in the season showed its effect and the team work was not much in evidence during the first of the season. With only Captain Silvers and Richardson of last year ' s regulars left around whom to build a team, the development of three new men was necessary. This, with the late start and a number oi accidents proved too great a handicap for the team. Jan. 12 State Normal defeated Butler in the Butler Gym- nasium. Lack of team work caused the defeat of the Butler team although the individual work of the men was good. Jan. IS. Butler went to Terre Haute and met defeat at the hands of Rose Poly by the score of 31 to 21. Butler guards were unable to cope with the giant forwards of the Rose team. Jan. 22. Butler was again defeated by Earlham 26 to 23 at Richmond. The Butler team was ahead until the last few minutes of the play but was unable to hold its lead. Jan. 24. The Earlham team came to Indianapolis and again defeated Butler 27 to 21. Jan. 28. The first victory of the season was scored v.hcn Butler defeated Franklin 21 to 18 on the Franklin floor. ' Fhe Butler men played furiously through the contest and deser ed the victory. Jan. 31. State Normal defeated Butler at Terre Haute 43 to 33 in a loosely played game. The absence of Paul weakened the Butler team and it could not follow the pace of the Norma 1- ites. I ' eb. 4. The second ictory of the season was won by the Butler team when it defeated the Hano er team 26 to 18 at the ]. N. G. armory in this city. F ' eb. 8. Rose Poly came to the Butler Gymnasium and de- feated Butler 19 to 17 in a fast and close game. The game was in doubt until the last minute. The score was tied time after time by Butler but Rose forged ahead in the last minute of play and Butler was defeated. F eb. 11. Butler went to Crawfordsville and was defeated by Wabash 46 to IS. The Wabash team outclassed the Butler men. Feb. 21. After a long rest the Butler five scored another ic- tory over Hanover by the score of 26 to 17 at Hanover. The game was well played by both teams. Feb. 28. The season was closed with a defeat at the hands of Franklin in the local Y. M. C. A. The game was fast and well played by both teams. The contest was close and two over- time periods were necessary to decide the winner. Captain Sil- vers was the star of the Butler team and played a wonderful game, closing his basketball career at Butler. The tw o games scheduled with DePauw were cancelled by the DePauw team because of their lack of adequate playing quarters. Seven men won their monograms. They were as follows: Captain Xerxes Silvers, Justus Paul, ' erl Wise, Charles Good, Arthur Lockhart, Thomas Richardson and Robert Kennington. [71] IRWIN FIELD [72] Art Department A very interesting side of the work of the college that is missed by the majority of Butler students is that of the Art Department. This department is in charge of Miss Myrtle Taylor and is very interesting, for besides the inspiration that comes from the artistic atmosphere of the Studio, there is the social side, which is not neglected. The treats that often follow the class hours are enjoyed by all the members and will be remembered in connection with our art work. Miss Taylor is well known in art circles and her work has become so well known that the entire January number of New i ork Keramie Studio was devoted to her work. The work of her students as well as her own has received honorable mention at the National Exhibits at Chicago. Miss Taylor also devotes a part of her time to the decora- tion and designing of private residences. [73] Calendar for 1912-1913 Sept. 17. Registration day. Annual crop of ver- dure appears.

[76] A Vest-Pocket Essay on our Much Neglected Chemistry Lab A chemistry lab. is a necessary discipline for life. He who can calmly look on while his favorite Hask shatters at the critical point of an experiment, can cheerfully burn clothes, fingers and face and patiently manufacture ammonia, cabbage, garlic and rotten egg odors in the long balmy afternoon by the heat of his Bunsen flame while his comrades gleefully disport them- selves upon the green, is some chemist as Bob Masters would say, and more than that, a martyr who puts the ancients burn- ing at the stake distinctly in the shade. One thoughtful inmate, a descendant of the famous John Gilpin of Londontown, realizing the stress of mind under which his fellow-sufterers labored, and the peculiar temptations incident upon their vocation, did com- pose for their guidance the following ten commandments. 1. Thou shalt not heat H= S O ' from under the hood. 2. Thou shalt not leave the H- O turned on. 3. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor ' s beakers nor flasks nor the test tubes nor anything that is thy neighbor ' s. 4. Thou shalt return the reagent bottles to their proper places. 5. Honor the Prof. 6. Thou shalt not contaminate the contents of thy desk bot- tles by sticking thy platinum wire in them. 7. Thou shalt wash up e ' ery e ening. 8. Thou shalt have thy note books in on rime. 9. Thou shalt not cut class. 10. Thou shalt not chew. Having spoken of the mental aspect of the lab. let us now turn to the physical, which has never met the eyes of some ol the students of Butler college. At any hour of the day one may look in with conscious pity at the aproned and white-coated fig- ures, compounding, testing, and weighing mid fumes, the sound of cracking test tubes, the scurrying of foot-steps and the whist- ling of some heroically cheerful indi idual. As this generous feeling of pity passes away, one is astounded to recognize Burk- [77] hardt yawning as he watches his boiling hqiiids; Solomon, Glen- denning and Parker, a faithful trio; J. McBride fanning around with such speed that Dorothy McLaughlin ' s flame flickers as in a mighty breeze; Gilpin, Tucker of the eagle eye; Summerlin, our facetious Bob and last of all, one Puder, sometimes moving, but most often dozing. If perchance curiosity delays you at the stockroom door after a lengthy interval, there may be descried amid the prevailing gloom within, the approaching brightness of Professor Kuebler ' s hair or the shadowy outline of Mr. Little, while a voice asks your errand. Then as you turn away, de- voutly thankful that you are not obliged to wait and wait for apparatus, comes the sprightly tripping fudge-maker Dorothy Hills, needless to say the aforesaid brightness reappears and remains for some time. Lest you might wonder who is he of the buff jacket, measured tread and more imposing mien than any yet identified, we hasten to introduce Professor Brown, the ogre of this retreat, who if you wait, can tell of ground hogs and formaldehyde, and a memor- able foot race in which he once ran, not ingloriously. But if you were to view the verdant freshman in their apartments at the farther end of Burgess Hall or panting seek the pure out- side atmosphere, there is a hearty farewell and a solemn warn- ing to you from the advanced labites which justifies the axiom that a chemistry lab. i s a necessary discipline for life.
