There is a reason. Dentistry has advanced to the position of one of the learned scientific professions, a specific branch of medicine, and the young man who enters this field has opportunities for financial and scientific advancement offered by few professions. Indiana Dental College offers a four-year course leading to the degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery. For full information address AND NOW, TO BE SERIOUS! FUNERAL DIRECTORS Shirley Bros. Co.

And loving gleams in his dark eyes lurk. A man of vision he, whose star Has not been dimmed by smiles or tears. Whose purpose day by day has grown And ripened with the passing years. With patient care, an artist ' s skill. He fashions what his craft demands; — The cast is done, he views with pride The well-formed product of his hands. Thine, too, has been a wondrous task. And thou, a workman, here hast wrought With undimmed vision far more clear, For greater was the goal here sought, More perfect was the clay, more strong The vessel thou didst mould; For men and women thou hast made, Not cast of clay, nor vase of gold. — Hope Bedford, ' 20.

Page jorty-iuo mim m-[ mmm mmm jp ' DlWl he Classes Page forty-three Here Thejp Are- T3ignified Seniors, world-wearied Juniors, important Sophomores, and frivolous Freshmen. It is true that one is unable to judge from the looks of most of them to which classiiication each belongs, but that is a result of the broad outlook and spirit of cosmopolitanism imparted to all its students by Butler College. Three months within its walls give a Freshman all the self-sufficiency of a Senior, and the majority of students are subject to various hallucinations as to the classes to which they belong. Some, whom the office record maintains are half-feathered Freshmen swear solemnly that they are Juniors, and faithfully attend all Junior meetings; Sophomores order Senior caps and gowns for themselves; Juniors fre- quently mistake themselves for members of the Faculty or, when occasion offers, help elect a Freshman President; and the E-E Vigilance Com- mittee — for all its wonderful wisdom and perspicacity — is not immune from the possibility of forcing a green cap upon a Senior or Graduate Student. Truly, affairs are far advanced when Juniors tearfully bemoan the fact that they are compelled to be absent from an important Senior meeting in order to get in the Freshman and Sophomore pictures for the Drift.

We are humble — but even in our moments of greatest humility, we can not be insensible to the germs of greatness that lie within us. The work of a college is to build character, to cultivate men ' s souls, to train their intellects, and to make them wise. For four years we have dutifully followed the guidance of great men dedicated to the noble task of developing our greatness. Soon they will look upon their work and they will say, It is good. They will put their stamp of ap- proval upon us. What will it mean if not that we are wise, our characters budded, our souls cultivated, our intellects trained? For is not that the purpose of a college, and have we not completed a college course? Let all mankind be grateful that such as we are soon to go from college walls to lead the ranks of men. Verily, our greatness is exceeded only bv our great humilitv. Page forty-seven PHILIP FREDERICK PFAFFMAX, Indianapolis. Tri-State College (1) (2) (3), Butler (4).

Whenever anything is done around Butler we are the ones who set the pace. Our Prom was the biggest and most successful social event of the year, and as for pep and go-aheadness we are the first class for four years that has had the spirit and energy to put out a Drift . We do not believe in bragging, for the simple reason that the plain facts without any- embellishment are suffi- cient evidence to establish our superiority. From our Freshman year we have believed in and worked for Butler — and Butler has grown larger and stronger dur- ing the last three years than during any fifteen years pre- viously. If the Faculty could only succeed in convinc- ing us that Butler needed anything in the line of new buildings or endowment we would build for them a new gymnasium, class-room building, etc., and establish a few more professional chairs. But, until the coming of such a time, we shall go on pushing to the top of the ladder and maintaining there the Butler that now is. Page sixty-three FRED WITHERSPOOX. -iB, Indianapolis. Duke is a prince of a cha|). His quiet, distinguished pose, evidenced in the picture above, and his interesting dreamy class-room attitude are responsible for more than one feminine exclamation of Oh, isn ' t he cute ! It is current gossip that that puzzled, sad expression has come into Fred ' s eyes only since the high cost of gasoline has forced him to surrender to more affluent competition. HELEN REED. K. 0. Indianapolis. Helen has an eye for beauty, and thinks her yellow waist is becoming to her complexion. It is whispered that she puts in four hours a day trying to get rid of a few stray freckles. . 11 this, however, does not interfere with her good sportsmanship. She is quite witty, and accordingly loves to argue on most any subject at any time. : IERRILL WOODS, Indianapolis. Merrill is noted chiefly for his tennis playing and his ability to translate Spanish. Strange to say Whitney Spiegel is his inspiration in the latter accomplishment to such an extent that a day ' s absence from school on the part of Whit throws Merrill into an unaccountable despondency until the next remiss distributing period is safely past. Page sixty-four FLORENCE WOOD, Indianapolis. Florence ' s dignified bearing has more than once created the impression on the part of some mystified Freshman that he was standing in the presence of some majestic member of the faculty, but persons better versed in the reading of outward appearances have learned better than to place her in any category other than that of a loyal member of the Junior class. MADGE OBERHOLTZER, HB , Indianapolis. IMadge is a timid little creature with a baby voice, who allows professional gruffness to frighten her into speechlessness, but once outside of the depressing influence of class-room walls she waxes adjectivorous and verbiforous and is able to hold at bay the most fluent masculine word-artist on the campus. HENRY JAMESON, :;X, Indianapolis Henree ' s Oui, oui, mademoiselle has become the criterion for judging all undergraduate French pronunciation. He is a versatile youth, his ability ranging from writing plays to loading coal wagons; and his artistic sense is so developed that he would walk ten miles rather than miss seeing an exhibition of any new variety of hula-hula dance. Page Sixty-five HARRY PERKINS, Ae, Indianapolis. Perky is as full of pep as ever, despfte his Benedictine state. His greatest accomplish- ment has been the founding of the Double E Society and the chronicling of its doings since it came into being. Between looking after its destinies and attending to his house- hold duties of bathing the dishes he has his hands full to overflowing. LUCILE ADAMS, KAO, Indianapolis Looks are deceiving. Lucile can make one ' s hair stand on end with interest at some of her personal episodes, not even to mention her part as the merry widow in the Yankee Consul. As a writer for the Indi;inapolis Star and the movies Lucile ought to make a name for herself. MARY EDNA COLLINS, Indianapolis. This young lady ' s favorite rendezvous is Science Hall, where she has collected a menagerie of test-tubes, beakers, etc., so well trained that they obey her every word. Page Sixty-six FRED DANIELS, Ae, Tipton, Ind. Now, now, Fred, you need not be so worried. That wonderful little picture of Fred Daniels, Yell Leader, torn from the Tiptonian for 1913, does not appear in this edition of the Drift. We are reserving it to put in a glass jar in the biological museum alongside of Prof. Bruner ' s amphibian pet. Until the blow falls you may go ahead sleeping peacefully o nights and fasting o ' days, saving up a good appetite for the next French Club feed. ILENE MORGAN, KAO, Indianapolis. The war question has made a deep impression on Ilene, strange to say. The reason was brought to light when she began inquiring if the cavalry is dangerous to belong to. . con- fidential remark whispered with a deep sigh to a friend : Dean and I have been having some nice farewell parties, but I am willing for him to go. Fine patriotism ! ! ROWLAND JOHNSON. - TA. Indianapolis. Rowland ' s folks live ' way out at Forty-sixth and College, but at least eight days out of the week you can see his Scripps-Booth working overtime somewhere in the neighborhood of Twentv-first and Northwestern. We can ' t say that we blame him much, however. Page sixty-seven :-i£ ' _ iS lil RALPH AGXEW, T Indianapolis. Rotten never finds time hanging heavy on his hands. His position of being official keeper of Johnnie Ferree entails something new every day. During his spare time he grows hair on his face, plays football and basket ball, and has interesting dates. He joined the Machine Gun Corps before he learned that the average period of existence for a machine gun man in action in 38 seconds. Rot occasionally likes to take a nap in Money and Banking. and Putty often has to stop class because he thinks the snoring is a passing freight. BERTHA COUGHLEX, HB , Indianapolis. Bertha is interested in molluskology and music, her latest scientific discovery being a Shell- horn. She is a very broad-minded girl. She says, Why, I don ' t see why the war should stop parties and things. I have a brother, and — and — , well he ' s enlisted, but T don t intend to have a fit about it. HENRIETTA COCHRAX. KKP. Indianapolis. Hen is known for her stage representations of an old maid, but oh, when she isn ' t in the spotlight far be her actions and appearance from those of an old maid. She has won three medals in heart-breaking contests. Her favorite occupation is autoing. with a sweet tenor voice as an accompaniment. Page sixty-eiglit m mmmmmm MARY CUSTER, II}! , Indianapolis, Mary has suffered much from having her name punned, so we shall not embarrass her by repeating the offense. She has won immortality by her acting, and by mystifying Prof. Harrison with the following answer on an exam: Ellen showed her feminine qualities by pretending to love Fitz-James. Ha-ha ! ' EDA BACHMAN, KAe, Indianapolis. Is fond of all kinds of sports, especially running the Hudson Super-six while Charlotte stays home. She thinks chemistry is her calling, and has already gone in partnership with Anna Junge for future business. HILTON U. BROWX, Jr., 9, Indianapolis. Tuck was one of the Butler contingent at the Mexican border during the mobilization there. He has some big stories to tell about experiences down in the Greaser country, and they keep getting bigger all the time. Tuck draws pictures, and also admiring glances from interested Scotch-Irish eyes. We suspect that he was in such a Iiurry to get back from the border so that he might save postage stamps. Page sixty-nine VVAIDE GILLMAN, AXA, Indianapolis. Hook is some business man. Also he plays horseshoes and 500, and takes Professor Put- nam ' s courses for recreation. His ideal of the perfect life would be expressed by a modern- ized version of Omar Khayyam written about a log cabin in the wilderness of Brown County. RUTH BRAYTON, KKP, Indianapolis. Ruth is one who believes that life and fate are better to those who take their time. We are inclined to agree with her, she being such a good example of the efficacy of the doctrine. MILDRED JESSUP, HB , Hopkinsville, Ky. Spends a considerable amount of her time frightening the younger girls with gentle reminders that they owe forty cents to Y. W. C. A. In answer to the request that she name her faults she volunteered the information that she is fascinatingly delightful, full of charming wit and rare wisdom tempered by vivacious frivolity, and is adored by everyone. In spite of her raging popularity, however, she possesses a becoming modesty. She would doubtless have given us more information had she not been in a hurry. MARY PADOU, AA, Indianapolis. Mary has come to the conclusion that Butler is a pretty good place, even in comparison with such schools as Colorado State and Columbia. Of course we always knew that, but it pleases us to find that others recognize it also. Mary is a Duzer Du, and was a member of Green Stockings until that production became defunct. jMAE HAMILTON, HB , Indianapolis. Mae belongs to Duzer Du, Philo, the Y. !M. C. A. cabinet, the Y. W. quartet, and the chapel choir. Some record ! Since the wonders of Butler have been impressed upon her she has found that Earlham is no longer a very interesting place. CLARENXE BLACKFORD, Cumberland, Ind. Pete made himself known in his Freshman year by his prowess as a baseball pitcher, and his activities along that line ever since have kept his name a familiar one to Butler fans. scvciit -one WHITNEY SPIEGEL, AE, Indianapolis. Whit came from Purdue to Butler in his Sophomore year, and gained a reputation as a wit before he had been here six weeks. He is ready for anything, from riding a two-by-four sled to perpetrating that well-known form of robbery known as selling insurance. He says that the only girls that he cares about are mom and sisiter. That being the case, we suppose that it is an electric runabout which exercises such an overpowering influence over him at the present time. HELEX B. RRV. AAA. Indianapolis. .She is another one o fthose innumerable Helens. She spends her time separating her identity from that of Helen Barron. Every one says, Oh, Helen Barry is so quiet and reserved. Just apply a starter and watch the result. Even brakes won ' t work when you try to stop her. One of the regrets of her college life is that she omitted chemistry. Ask her why. :M. RGUERITE ULEX, OB . Indianapolis. Is a lively, mischievous infant about whom some mysterious person called Don has made the following rhyme : Little Marguerite Ulen Is cute and always a-foolin . These sentimental lines were unearthed from the dark recesses of Miss I ' len ' s silver mesh bag. Page spiTUty-tz HALFORD JOHNSON, T , Indianapolis. The blushing boy of Butler! It is just natural, not cosmetic or alcoholic. Oh, how I envy Halford ' s complexion, can be heard from ' most any of the Y. W. C. A. Halford ' s favorite diversions are sleeping in class, teasing Marianne Copeland, and at other times creating a diversion with Rick Pritchard. ESTHER MURPHY, KKF, Indianapolis. Has transferred her interest from Butler to Indiana U. I wonder if Sam will be home this week-end? is the usual question which Es asks herself and her friends every day. She left Butler to teach school, but returned suddenly. Henrietta is probably the only person who can explain this mystery LELA KENNEDY, HB , Indianapolis. Lela, being secretary of Philo, attends the meetings of that organization when not otherwise engaged. She is a person of great strength of character and possesses lots of back-bone. She thinks that the war question has two sides, which means that Jake Doelkef has enlisted and that Ralph Kirschner will stay here. Page seventy-three KATHRYN KARXS, HB , Indianapolis. Katie is artistically inclined. Consequently we cannot say as to whether that dreamy look in her eyes is the result of her temperamentality or of some more material reason. CARL A:MELUXG, :iX, Indianapolis. Carl is always business-like and in a hurry. His ability at interpreting English poetry to !Miss Graydon ' s taste has been the object of more than one poor duffer ' s envy. EDITH G V. RTXEY, Ann. Indianapolis. Edith chauffeurs the destinies of the Irvington branch library and as a result is always able to get hold of the books which are assigned for reading in the Drama Course. Page .seventy-! our [ill! j ; isyii •m MILDRED HILL, HB , Indianapolis. Mildred is vice-president of the Junior class, and is so democratic that she likes just every- body, — even such a person as would attend Wisconsin U. in preference to Butler. The Indianapolis Star once tried to get her picture to run in the Sunday supplement exhibiting the latest fashions, but she was too bashful to permit such a proceeding. ANNA JUNGE, KAG, Cumberland, Ind. Late to bed and early to rise is Anna ' s motto. She comes all the way from Cumberland to Butler, arriving here in time for drill practice in the mornings. Thus troubles begin earlier for Anna than for most girls. Chemistry is her favorite subject, but then of course every subject has its attractions — ornamental and otherwise. Anna is a splendid manager, and will make a good partner in any business. CHESTER DAVIS, Indianapolis. Fat is a good cook, having become an adept at frying pancakes over a Bunsen burner in the Chem. Lab. at noon hour. He must learn to keep his can of syrup away from the hydro- gen-sulphide generator, however. As a result of playing football for three years and eating his own cooking, he weighs only 220 pounds now instead of the 300 or 400 which he would otherwise attain. Page seventy-five m mmmmim- XIEL KERSHAW. ATA, Indianapolis. Niel is another lad with scientific inclinations. He is one of the main attractions over in the science building, his intense interest in the semi-weekly chapel service and the Y. AI. C. . . meeting being the only attractions which can draw him away from the laboratory. At the present time he is cultivating an interest in floriculture with the hopeful view of some day contracting a partnership in the florist business. CORDELIA HIGGIXS, KAO, Lebanon. Ind. Cordy is carefree and light-hearted — except when tlie mail man doesn ' t arrive at the Dorm. on time. One letter a day from Alichigan is enough to make any girl light-hearted. A pin which is very much in evidence for a whole week and then disappears has created a mystery which the Dorm, angels haven ' t solved yet. Perhaps she returned it hy mail. At any rate, it was around just long enough to create a little excitement. CHARITY HEXDREX, KKI ' . Indianapolis. The name Charity did not fit her, so her friends who know her well changed it to Chat, which is rather more appropriate. Xow she has gone in for Red Cross work and for giving sisterly advice and consolation to little Johnnie Brayton just in order to win her former appellation back again. Johnnie. Hank and Xerxes do a lot for cliarity. Page sevc}iy-si.x M y M- ' m- f ' «]!« M — ! ;wi JOHN FERREE, yY Indiamipolis. Ja vn is our illustriour football captain-elect and also staff photographer for the Drift. He has taken his life and reputation -into his hands more than once in order to get some good pictures. He is a wonderful dancer, but he suffers from the handicap that his terp- sichorean ability vanishes unless he wears a dress suit — and he is not always able to borrow one that fits him. His greatest ambition is to be a pater fuiiiilins. He doesn ' t know what it means, but he thinks it sounds good. FERN WRIGHT, KKT, Indianapolis. Fern writes the minutes of the Junior cla.ss and dreams of Columbus. She isn ' t kept very busy doing the former, and so she has plenty of time to indulge in the latter. The special cause of her interest hasn ' t been brought to ligiit yet. but some Sjicriock Holmes is bound to discover the secret sooner or later. STOREY LARKIX, :::X. Indianapolis. When Storey started at Butler three years ago he was known as iSIrs. Larkin ' s little boy. Now he has acquired a dress suit and carries matches. It is an old saying that one must be disappointed in love in order to be thoroughly educated. The world-weary look in Storey ' s eyes is due to the fact that he has already received three diplomas. Cheer up, Storey, perhaps you ' ll have better luck when you grow your mustache. Pagr WALLACE WADSWORTH, AXA, Indianapolis. The contour of my forehead indicates that I always take my time. This phrenological statement is absolutely correct. Waddy ' s ideal is Professor Kenyon of ancient fame, and his favorite subject is Old English because he once received a high grade in it. His strong point is his heart, which is overwhelmingly in evidence if you hit the right spot. His favor- ite occupation is sleeping, and it was while indulging in it that he dreamed out the drift of the Drift. MARIE FITZGERALD, KA©, Indianapolis. Marie is another maiden who anxiously watches the war news. However a long bombard- ment of special deliveries from Llano Grande last fall have in a way been experience toward preparing her for any eventuality. FRED WAGONER, X. Indianapolis. Our little Fritz had the honor of being unanimously elected President of the Junior class. He is a splendid young man who has saxophoned his way into many a fair one s heart. His favorite diversion is posing as a musician at some lake summer resort along with Myron Hughel and sundry others, and he fills up his spare time manufacturing various villainous soda-fountain concoctions for trusting coeds. Page seventy-eight «j.a si w— ijil] RUTH CANNADAY, Ann, Indianapolis. Ruth caused considerable commotion when she came back after Christmas vacation wearing a big diamond. However, such things will happen. DEAN FULLER, ATA, Indianapolis, Dean is known mostly for his winning smile, and for being seen almost any evening in the company of Bill Schmalz. He and Bill have somewhat the same tastes along some lines. In Dean ' s conversation are continued references to Tom, who is evidently a very close friend, and who plainly exercises a great deal of influence upon him. MILDRED :M0RGAX, KAO, Indianapolis. Flowers and such presents are getting to be quite common with Mildred these days, and quite strangely they all bear the Marott Shoe Store stamp. For several years Mildred has been faithfully studying French and Greek, not knowing, alas, how helpful a year or two of German would have been. It is not too late yet, however, if the teacher is a good one. Paze seventy-nine OSCAR HAGEMIER, AXA, Linton, Ind. Oscar was President of ihc State Intercollegiate Prohibition Association, which probably accounts for Indiana ' s going dry. His experience of determining various alcohol percentages while holding that oftice has made him proficient at prescribing for night customers at Hook ' s Drug Store. Whitey is Junior Treasurer, and is sore yet that there wasn ' t a surplus left over from the Prom. AGXES FOREMAN ' , KAO, Indianapolis. She has more common sense than any girl in school, was remarked of her, and e.xpresses it exactly. She is not only sensible, but good looking as well. Agnes appears so solemn and dignified because weightier questions than studies oppress her mind. . RTHUR CARR, Greentown, Int!. .Arthur is a newcomer to Butler, and we haven ' t had much of a chance to get acquainted with him as yet. However, we are hoping to see him with us again next year, and to learn to know him better then. Page eighty OPAL BURKHARDT, AAA, Muskogee, Okla. Opal is some bright gem whose radiance will some day brighten the dark fastnesses of India. Her red coat and hat have done their share of radiating this winter, and to further aid her future brilliance she has lately been shining forth with a carat solitaire. Such is the way of missionaries. Her present occupation is finding fishes ' ears, and captivating the youthful Freshmen gentlemen who come within her beaming influence. KATHERIXE BURTOX, KAO, Martinsville, Ind. Katherine has made lartinsville famous. She thinks it, talks it, acts it, and proves it. She has a scholarship record few can equal, and has become so classical that she forgets how to call the cattle home when she goes back on the farm. Xothing ever escapes Katherine who, along with ' irginia McCune, knows every joke going, HELEN FIXDLEY, Indianapolis. Helen is quite proficient at the gentle art of angling, her policy being to wade in and hook a good one while she is about it. She is rather a quiet and demure little miss in the class- room, and it takes acquaintanceship to let one know the real Helen behind her customary pose. Page eighty-one Junior Prom THE Junior Prom was held at the Independent Turnverein on the evening of December 4. Advertisements of the affair had promised much, but it turned out that realization was even better than antici- pation in this case. Decorations, music, refreshments, programs — every- thing was of a equality and quantity to make this the biggest and most successful general social event of the vear at Butler. Page eighty-tifo tail m 9 w 1919 Class Officers President -.- - RALPH COOK Vice-President _ - MARY O ' HAVER Secretary IDA HERT Treasurer RUSSELL PUTNAM Page eighiy-iotir As W e See Ourselves 1919 IT is farthest from our intention to boast, our purpose here being but to set forth certain facts of which everyone cannot but be aware and unquestionably acknowledge. The career of this class has been thoroughly in keep- ing with the qualities possessed by its members: — clash, vim, vigor, go I The masterly fashion in which the Freshman cap situation was handled was the first move made by us to startle the Butler world. Vigorous meas- ures were taken to hold the Freshmen to that time-hon- ored custom, and we must say that they were singularly- effective. Another momentous factor in our career was our inaugurating a Sophomore Hop, a thing unheard of before in Butler annals. This is but another indication that this class has never been one to follow stupid pre- cedent, but has set its own standards and established its own rules of procedure. The story of achievement has ever been the story of originality. To the Seniors we owe a certain respect and courtesy; for the Juniors we have the friendliest of feelings; to the Freshmen we condescend to offer recognition; but to the Sophomores, one and all, we take off our hats. Their past has been brilliant; what their future will be only one of greatest prophetic vision may foretell. Page eighty-five ON On y—t o tn U a: Pajf eigJity-si.

We are a unique class — very unique. Classes will come and classes will go, but never will there be another with such a priceless gem as our Kirowitz who was willing to undergo the supreme test of a snow bath for tlie cause of liberty. We call attention to our Fighting Parson, Reinhold, whose very hair was singed in a fight with the Devil in the form of John Ferree; to our football scholar, Rioch; and to our fair ladies who are so beautiful that the scholarship of the upper-classmen has fallen in the same ratio as their pocketbooks have flat- tened — so beautiful that we Freshmen have only been al- lowed to gaze at a distance — so beautiful that the Senior girls have deemed it necessary to expound upon the utter perfidy of all Butler men. We have learned much — how to stall in class, how to stroll on the campus, how to wear a biled shirt, how to sleep in Prof. Putnam ' s classes, how to laugh at Andy Hopping ' s jok es, how to make a picture smoke a cigarette, how to borrow a quarter, etc., et cetera ad infinitum. And now we humbly apply for the rank of Sophomore with all the attendant glories and privileges which the name implies.

In that time he has turned out a football team that won the state championship in 1914, and has placed the blue and white banner to the forefront in the other inter- collegiate sports. During the past year he has been instructor of physical training as well as athletic coach. Cully is a thor- ough-going Butler man. being a graduate from here, and having represented the college during his four undergraduate years in all branches of intercollegiate athletics. Pu c tiiiicty-ciglit ' Football, 1916 CAPTAIN BOXHAil Page ninety-nine A Review of the Season 1916 DESPITE the several one-sided scores chalked up in favor of the opponents Butler has much reason to be proud of the showing made during the past season. The first game, that with Kentucky State, opened the season with a rather dull thud of 39 to 3. Spirits rose again, however, in the next game played when Earlham was humbled decisively with a score of 27 to 0. From the first kick-off it was apparent that the only question was the size of the score to be piled up against the visitors, despite the fact that the Butler men were much lighter than their opponents. The Wabash game was a disaster, but not one bereft of glory. The superior weight of the Little Giants and their large supply of fresh men, as well as the crippled condition of the Butler team were the deciding factors in piling up the large score. The Louisville game was a loose affair on both sides, and that with DePauw was scoreless for Butler only because of the admitted bungling of the referee after Bon- ham had put over a touchdown. The Franklin landslide was a complete surprise. The opponents were the heavier, but nevertheless Butler had the edge on them throughout the first half. The second half of the contest brought with it an unaccountable slump, and the score was run up to 39 to 14 in favor of the visitors. The Rose Poly victory, the last game of the season, rather cleared away the clouds from the sky and gave Butler third place among the seven I. C. A. L. colleges. The especial feature of the season was the work of Captain Tow Bonham. His leadership, his gameness, and his never-failing supply of pep and fight that kept him going against any odds will make this, his last year, remembered by all rooters who saw him play. His selection to the honorary position of All-State quarterback was merited and well earned. Page one hundred Football Scores 1Q16 Date Sept. 30 Oct. Oct. Oct. Oct. Nov. Nov. Nov.

A first year man who fought with all the gameness of any veteran. Mike is not spectacular in his methods, Ijut his good steady work can be depended upon at all times. EARL BO UA L— Quarterback, Captain. This is Tow ' s last year in collegiate football. His playing this season has shown him to be the best, gamest, headiest little quarterback that Indiana has seen for manv a rear. CHESTER B.WIS— Right guard. Fat always succeeds in making his 210-pound bulk an obstacle that is difficult for an - opponent to get past. This is his third year, and he can l e counted on for another season ' s strong support. Page one hundred two FRED WAGONER— Halfback. Fritz was one of the freshman pony backlield of three years ago that astonished every one with their exhibition of gameness and speed. The retention of these qualities and the addition of experience have made of Wagoner a most valuable man. RALPH AGy:E — Fullback. Rotten opens up holes in the enemy ' s lines and makes himself generally obnoxious to the opponents in a way amthing but like what is suggested b}- his pet name. JOHN FERREE— Right tackle. John is a 212 pounder who can win a 100-yard dash as easih ' as he can refrain from stud}ing. His weight and his speed make him an especiall - valuable man at his position. Page one hundred three GEORGE CORNELIUS— «Z 6affe. George ' s punting was a strong factor in man} of the games this }-ear. Injuries kept him on the sidelines several times but he was able to make his presence felt in most of the contests. HARRY VERKmS— Halfback. Perky ' was another one of the pony backfield of several years ago. A little later he was dubbed the iron man, which name indicates something of his ability-. LESLIE FLECK— Halfback. Fritz is a freshman, but he is not a green one when it comes to football. He was the particular star of the Earlham game, his open field running and line plunging being of the spectacular variety. Page one hundred jour FRED DAISSIELS— Halfback, left end. Dann} is jiot a big fellow, but he is one who makes himself felt. His habit of getting so much in the oppo- nents ' way resulted in his being injured several times, but never enoush to take the fight out of him. FRANK HILLIGOSS— Le f tackle. Hill}- is another freshman that knows the game. His quiet, steady playing was one of the dependable feat- ures of the season ' s work. FLOYD VANDAWARK— Le i guard. Dutch did his bit in making the line hold against offense by putting his bulk in the way. Not fast, but one who can plug a hole as well as the next one. tage one hundred five PRICE MULLANE— Confer. Pike ' is the last of three brothers in succession to monopolize the position of center on the Butler team. His abilit}- at sizing up an opponent ' s play together with his weight and experience makes him a strong man on the defensive.

Page one hundred six THE TEAM Page one hundred seven THE picture above, taken quite a few years ago, is that of an old Irvington kid football team which practiced and played its games almost in the shadows of Butler College. Now and then it would play an eye-opener — or is it a curtain-raiser? — on Irwin Field before some big college game, and afterwards the players, their preliminary stunt accom- plished, would sit on the side-lines and long for the day when they might be among the warriors wearing the blue and white. For some of them this dream has become a reality. Nine of the boys in this picture have become Butler men, and six of them were members of this year ' s team. In the top row the second youngster is Price Mullane, the fourth is Harry Perkins, and next to him are the Siamese Twins, Rotten and Jawn, inseparable then as now. In the middle row is George Cornelius, and next to him is Tow Bonham, Butler ' s captain and All-State quarterback. The water-boy in the first row is Dick Moore, the guardian of the pigskin is Bill Young, and beyond him is Tuck Brown. Fage one hundred eight i- 4 ■i m. Basketball, 1917 CAPTAIN FRANKFORT Page one hundred nine A Review of the Season 1917 Out of thirteen games played Butler won seven and lost six. During the entire season Butler made a total of 297 points against the opponents ' total of 295 points. Butler made 120 field goals and 57 foul goals. The largest point getters were Markland, with 45 field goals; Race, with 20 field goals and 25 foul goals; Sussman, with 24 field goals and 16 foul goals; Good, with 19 field goals; and Captain Frankfort, with 4 field goals and 15 foul goals. The city championship was lost to the Dentals in a third closely contested game in which the score was 23 to 21, giving the toothpullers two victories out of three games played. Throughout the season Captain Frankfort showed himself to be a wonderful floor general. As he is to be captain again next year Butler rooters mav look forward to another successful season.

Who They Are SUSSMAN — Forward. Pinkie ' is an experienced man, and was one of the mainstays of the team through- out the season. His absence from several games because of injuries had a great deal to do toward contributing to some of the defeats suffered by Butler. Sussman was one of the best basket shooters on the team, and some of the points in every game he pla3ed are to be credited to him. FRANKFORT— G; arJ, Captain. !Marty always keeps cool and clear-headed, which is probably one reason why his floor leadership this year has resulted so successfulh ' . He is not the biggest point winner, but many of the scores marked up to the personal credit of other players are due primarily to his playing and generalship. He will be captain again next year. Page one hundred twelve Cornelius — Guard, Center. George pla3ed an unusually good game throughout the entire season, at both guard and center positions. His absence from the second Franklin game because of illness was doubtless one of the factors leading to our defeat there. Agnew — Guard. Rotten plays basketball as well and efficiently as he plays football, and that is saying quite a bit. This is his third }ear in Butler athletics and, despite his ■ growing tendency to look like Charlie Chaplin, his value in any position is increas- ing with the years. Race — Foru. ' ard, Center. Race is only a half-fledged Freshman, having entered Butler at the beginning of . the second semester and just in time for the most strenuous part of the basketball season. His natural ability and previous experience were not long in making a place for him on the varsit} team. Markland — Forward. Glenn is also a Freshman, but notwithstanding that fact he made more points than any other man on the team. He was a strong factor in every game, as his season ' s record of forty-iive field goals can testify. Good — Center. Charlie ' s four years in college athletics expired at the end of the first semester, and as a result he was not able to participate in any of the subsequent I. C. A. L. games. His loss weakened the team somewhat during the latter half of the season. Page one hundred thirteen 1917 BASKET BALL SQUAD Upper Ro v — Perkins, Good, Agnew, Mitchell, Race, Sussman, Seyfried.

Interclass Basketball THE interclass basketball championship went to the Freshman team after it had won five games out of seven played, with no outside help. The Seniors were practically tied with the Freshmen for first place, officially having the same record, but they were compelled to relinciuish claim to the championship because of the fact that in several of the games they were represented by players from other classes. The players on the champion Freshman squad were Arch Brown (captain), Markland. Heathco, Sevfried, Franklin, and Hilligoss.

MORGAN Spring Athletics OWING to the war situation there have been no spring athletics at Butler. With a promising baseball season ahead, with prepara- tions for an important tennis season made, and with interest well developed toward coming victories in track and field, all athletic schedules with other colleges were cancelled and all arrangements for interclass events were thrust aside. This has been the first time for many years that Butler College has not participated in spring athletics, but owing to the present crisis it was deemed advisable to eliminate them in favor of military training.

Indiana Times A Part of the Butler Army Military Drill BUTLER S plans to make real soldiers out of her young men culmi- nated on April 10 in the organization of the drill corps. Two squads were formed, one to drill from 6:30 to 8:00 o ' clock every morning, and another every afternoon from 3:30 to 5:00. Under the direction of Captain James A. Hurt, First Lieutenant Charles A. Cassady, and Second Lieutenant Frank W. Minnick, all three of whom are from Company D. First Regiment, L N. G., drills have been held consistently throughout the latter half of the semester. Soon after the organization of the two sections was completed army regulation Springfield rifles were handed out, which made possible the drilling in regular military tactics. On Clean-up Day an exhibiti on drill was given, which convinced even the co-eds that the Butler Drill Corps is a reality to be taken seriously, and that when called upon Butler men will be ready to take their places on the firing line.

It meets, in the broadest way possible, the higher demands of the col- lege girl ' s life; and in working out its purpose becomes a unit large enough to have a place for every girl. At the religious meetings held every week the girls have followed a deiinite Bible study plan, and they have been most fortunate in securing speakers who have been very interesting and helpful. The Association has contributed much to the social life of the college. By means of frequent parties and spreads it has caused the girls to become acquainted with one another, and has fostered a more democratic spirit among them. The influence of the x- ssociation has reached even beyond the college walls, a very important work having been carried on at the Christamore College Settlement. Every afternoon of the year some of the college girls have gone there to assist with the music, club, and library department activities. This has not only been a help to the settlement, but has also greatly benefited the girls who have contributed their time and talents. Through mission study classes a broader knowledge of the work among the students of the world has been gained. This year the girls have given seventy-five dollars to missions — in addition to one hundred five dollars to the Fund for Prison Camp Relief in Europe. Last summer eight representatives from Butler attended the summer conference at Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, and as many are planning to go again this coming August. The Butler Association joins with the international Y. W. C. A. in its world wide mission for good by filling the place it does among the students here, and by doing all it can to meet the needs of less fortunate people.

M. C. A. To this end it aims to develop physical strength, mental alertness, and moral righteousness in the individ- ual student and in all college activities. One of the important functions of the Association is to get the stu- dents from the different social groups acquainted with one another. To this end the social committee has planned and successfully carried through several stag socials and two Y.M.-Y.W. receptions, one of each at the beginning of each semester. The Football Banquet, which has been an annual affair for four yeai: now, and which bids fair to become a venerated tradition of Butler College is one of the accomplishments of the Butler Y. M. A large pro- portion of the school turned out for it this year, and was strengthened both in body by a turkey dinner and in mind by the toasts of the football men. The regular meetings of the Association have been fairly well at- tended. Nearly every pha.se of modern life from war to prayer has been treated. Thus has it been attempted to put the slogan into practice, and thru these talks to make men more manly in body, mind, and soul. Two successful classes in Mission and Bible Study have been con- ducted, and the entrance of Butler men into the social work of the citv has been planned. The Employment Bureau found work for numbers of men, and during the coming year will continue its existence throughout the year instead of only the first few weeks of school. Thus, through co-operation and friendship, has the Y. M. C. A. endeavored in every way it could to live up to its principle of aiding the men of the college. Page one hundred forty-five Dramatics THE DRAMA CLASS DURING the past two years Butler has offered a course in the study of the mod- ern drama under the instruction of Mr. F. Tarkington Baker. The class meets at the college for a one hour recitation and lec- ture period each Friday evening of the school vear. T. T. RKIXGTOX B. KER THE DRAMATIC CLUB DRAMATICS at Butler have been fostered by and in the charge of the Duzer Du Dramatic Club. It has been the practice of this organization to present a light opera during the latter part of each school year, as well as various other productions earlier in the year. Thus in June, 1914, De Koven ' s Robin Hood ; in June, 1915, Herbert ' s The Serenade ; and in June, 1916, Robyn ' s The Yankee Consul were suc- cessfully produced on the open air stage on the campus. During the year of 1915-16 the farce, The Brixton Burglary, was presented in the col- lege chapel. At all times has the dramatic club been most indebted to Mr. F. Tarkington Baker, who has been the director of all productions.

This date is set aside for the honoring of the memory of Ovid Butler, whose generosity made possible the founding of the college and whose labors during his lifetime did much to make the opportunities which Butler students now enjoy. He donated the original site, in what is now College Avenue, of the old Northwestern Christian Universit} ' . After The College was moved to its present location his name was given to it; and his birthdav, since his death in 1881, has one hundred sixlv-iour been observed in a fitting way as Founder ' s Day. It is, however, only in the last ten or fifteen years that any extended arrangements have been made for its observance. In. the morning at the regular chapel period the school assembled in the chapel to listen to an address by Dr. Robert L. Kelly, president of Earlham College; and in the afternoon a Pan-Hellenic reception, under the auspices of the various Greek letter organizations, was held at the home of President Howe in Audubon Place from 3 to 5 o ' clock. The Founder ' s Day dinner was given in the Riley Room at the Clay- pool Hotel at 7 o ' clock. President Howe presided as toastmaster. The Rev. Elvet E. Moorman, of the Englewood Christian Church and a graduate of Butler 1899, Yale 1901, was the first speaker of the evening, his theme being the debt owed by students and alumni of colleges to the founders of those institutions, and of the true conception of edu- cation. Professor John S. Harrison, head of the English department of Butler, spoke of the necessity of keeping in touch with the good things of the past; and George Buck, principal of Shortridge High School, enter- tained his listeners by a humorous reminiscence of the hardships of his own college education and by hitting off modern educational foibles. Emmett W. Gans, president of the Butler Alumni Association, em- phasized the importance of the practical application of learning to life and business, and the necessity for the student to determine what relation he is to have with the commercial world after the completion of his academic activities. The college owes a large measure of gratitude to Miss Graydon, on whom a great deal of the responsibility for the arrangements of the day rested; and the support of the alumni and students, who entered whole- heartedly into the spirit of the occasion, did much toward making the dav a success in everv wa ■.

Page one hundred sixiy-eigJit Confessions of a Flirt I didn ' t mean to do it — really I didn ' t — but, fellows, it was this way. I had just been to one of W. W. CARTER ' S three stores, that one on Pennsylvania St. I had bought a new pair of silk socks, one of those new summer ties, and a new striped silk shirt. Believe me, that was some outfit, and CARTER ' S sure do handle the right stuff. You know how a fellow feels when he is fixed out in some new clothes, and those clothes are good looking and they make him good looking — well, I felt that way — sort of strutting like. Furthermore, I knew that these clothes would re- main in good condition, because CARTER ' S goods always do; and that girl, she also knew how well those new clothes fitted me and that they would remain that way — and right there was where my troubles began. Her name was Mary, so she said, and I really believe it was, for she seemed such an innocent looking kitten with large blue eyes and a babyish chin. After the usual method of feigning a remembrance of a former meeting, I said, Well, Mary, let ' s get something to eat at a real spiffy place. And I directed her to The Grape Arbour at HOOK ' S DRUG STORE. Man, you don ' t know what you are missing by not taking your girl there the very next time you are down town. It sure is some place — white arbour, purple grapes hanging from the vines, and purple lights from the ceiling. These lights are subdued and when I looked into Mary ' s eyes, I just couldn ' t help loving her. Then the eats we had were handed out in real style and we sure did have quality with service. It ' s the Grape Arbour for me after this. I adored Mary till we reached home, and then her father stevedored me. Page two hundred seven Confessions of a Flirt The next day I resolved to have dates with Butler girls only. So I decided to buy a new suit as Butler girls are expert critics and have very good taste. Being possessed of limited means, I wanted to get the most for my money and I went to one of C. C. HAUGER ' S HOUSES on Massachusetts Ave. I picked out a new wTinkle in grays, because HAUGER ' S is the place for class and style and they handle the very latest. Well, Sunday I made a date with one of the good looking Thetas and I wore my new suit. Fellows, that suit did the work, because that girl invited me to the Theta Dance and to an open house to be given the next week. That suit sure did lit nice and it made me look very stylish and, after all, it ' s the clothes that make the man. When a suit fits good, it makes you feel like a man — and that is how I became a Theta man. Helen sure was a fine girl and she sure did belong to a fine sorority. Well, I knew that I would have to take her to something swell and I didn ' t hardly know how to manage it. Then I thought of the CIRCLE THE- ATRE, the coolest place in the summer, and so I arranged to throw a theater party for six couples. xA.s we sat in those wicker chairs in the first row of the balcony, felt the cool wind from the fans, sensed the darkness surrounding us, and saw the waves leaping and dashing against the distant shore in the picture on the screen, we very easily imagined ourselves on shipboard. I said as much to Helen, who nodded her head and slid farther down in her chair and leaned her head back. The picture was complete. She was watching the pi ctures and I was watching her — both of us enjoying ourselves, when the Circle orchestra, playing softly, blended its soft strains with the setting. Then she looked up at me and — doggone it, fellows — I was sure a goner. Well, we continued going to the CIRCLE every week, for there we found always the best pictures in the city, as well as — the best people. Page two hundred eight Confessions of a Flirt As I have said, I really didn ' t mean to, but, hang it all, I did. You see Frances, she was a Kappa, was playing tennis on the college courts, when I happened by with my new tennis racket. I had just been to G. H, WESTING CO. and had just laid in a supply of athletic goods. I was the fourth person and so we threw up our rackets to get partners. Well, it happened that her racket and my racket showed the smooth surface and we saw that we had the same kind of racket. She said, I bet you got yours at WESTING ' S, and then she said she had got her ' s there, too. Needless to say WESTING ' S rackets won that game. She was a regular girl. She played golf and liked all forms of athletic fun. We went canoe- ing, and, believe me, fellows, that girl had the very best of everything — canoe, paddles, lazybacks and carpet — all came from WESTING ' S. And that was the kind of a girl she was — quality all the way through. It was just at this time that I saw an add that appealed especially to me. SAXON ROADSTER A car completely equipped with every modern motor car feature foi $495.00; cash or payments; at BARKLEY-WONSER SAXON CO., 924 N. Pennsylvania St. I bought it, took Frances out for a ride and then took her again — not for a second time — but for a dozen times. You know she was strong for the best that can be had, and she liked the Sx XON. It was those large, 30 inch by 3 inch tires that made the car higher standing, easier riding, giving it more road clearance, and perceptibly lengthening tire life — and these advantages convinced her of the value of the SAXON. We sure did enjoy ourselves, spending the day on the river, then riding smoothly in the even- ing twilight along the boulevards. We never said very much on those rides, just quietly enjoying the silence of the motor and the comfort of the upholstery. And then one evening — we still enjoyed those smooth evening rides in the SAXON and she wore my frat pin. Page two hundred nine Confessions of a Flirt But, as we all know, a pretty face has its charms and I fell for it strong. Her name was Beatrice and she was a Pi Phi. She was an experienced sort of a girl — worldly wise and all that. It took class to travel with her and when she looked into my eyes and Said, Let ' s do something real nice, I said, Sure. Let ' s follow the crowd — WHITE ' S CAFETERIA, on the Circle. We went, and, believe me, it was class. Good looking girls to wait on you, courteous and prompt service, and the best of eats. It sure was good to sit there at the small tables, listen to the music, watch the people come and go and, best of all, look into the eyes of Beatrice. She was good looking — I knew it, and every- body knew it. She would nod her head as she recognized distinguished looking people. WHITE ' S CAFETERIA sure was a popular place, and you don ' t want to miss it the next time you are down town. No matter how hard I tried, Beatrice would never give me any en- couragement. She was a live wire; she liked entertainments and I had to be sure that we were going to a swell place before she would go. Well, the thing that did it was when I took her to PAGE ' S, out on the National Road, for a chicken dinner. You know what a nice place it is — porch all the way round the house, large porch swings and large lawn. We played croquet and then dinner was announced. I never saw it beat — a whole chicken for the two of us and the other dishes heaping full, and then we had cherry pie to finish with. It certainly was fine. After din- ner some one played the piano and we danced for a while. But what really did it was the rope swing under a big tree on the front yard. As she went up in the air, it seemed she was just a little girl, and she felt that way, too. The moon peeped through the leaves of the trees and she was a little girl and she was my little girl, so she said. Chicken din- ners are worth more than a dollar and a quarter a plate at PAGE ' S. Page two hundred ten f. ' mQ Confessions of a Flirt But Beatrice was fickle and soon I was searching for a girl who would be true to me. Her name was Katherine and she was a Pi Omega girl. We renewed our school day acquaintance at Butler College, as we speeded along on the fast PENNSYLVANIA train. We were headed for Michigan — that is, I was — for she was to meet her father en route. We were reading the booklet, Michigan in Summer, and she said that I should come with them to their home in Michigan. Then we planned for days at a time to be spent in bathing and boating, fishing and racing. Then we would take some popular fiction and hunt the places of seclusion for resting. Well, fellows, that is what I did — to her home in Michigan — and my advice to you is, see the booklet, Michigan in Summer, and then get your ticket from the PENNSYL- VANIA, on the G. R. I. Route, and don ' t stop till you get there. She said she really loved me and you know what that means. you have the girl, We have the ring. J. C. SIPE, 18 4 N. Meridian St. Man, that ring was a beauty, and she sure did appreciate it. Full carat and the prettiest color. And it didn ' t cost me so much either. Fel- lows, a good diamond ring is the only way you can express your regard for the girl, and you want to buy that ring from a man who knows his business and knows it from experience. Page two hundred eleven Confessions of a Flirt But flirting is a dangerous proposition and a fellow must either go on or quit. I quit and settled down to business in dad ' s office. The first thing that I did was to install the AUTOMATIC TELEPHONE in the office. If you are going to do business, it might as well be done in a businesslike way. By using the AUTOMATIC I am saved all the time and annoyance of an inattentive telephone operator. I simply turn the dial and my party answers instantly. Time saving is the big feature of modern business and a fellow can be on the jump all the time if he is not delayed over little things. I can do twice as much business as dad, because I am insisting on immediate service in all things. The next thing I did was to buy a CORONA TYPEWRITER. It is a peach of a little thing. Weighing only six pounds, and small enough to fit into my traveling bag. I carry it back and forth from the office. You see, I am learning to operate it by the finger touch and I am practicing at home. I mean to save dad all the money I can, and I am going to do his typewriting for him. I don ' t want any girl around the office. I don ' t want to see another girl as long as I live. Gee, but the pages sure are good looking — neatly typed and all. Dad says that I am getting to be an expert. He says he is glad that I bought a CORONA TYPEWRITER and he recommends it to all his friends. Page two hundred twelve Confessions of a Flirt Having resolved to have nothing further to do with any girl, woman or child of the female sex, I began to save money. And, believe, me, it is surprising what a fellow will save when he does it systematically and puts away a little each week. I opened an account with the STATE SAVINGS AND TRUST CO., at 9 East Market St. Every week I deposited just that amount that I would have spent on the girls and when it is in a Trust Company you know you won ' t spend it, and that is where it should be. I put my money with a Trust Company that is every letter of the word reliable and, believe me, I shall have some account after while when I get my sum total at THE STATE SAVINGS AND TRUST CO. But your sins will find you out sooner or later, and mine did. A charming girl with slim ankles and a pretty dimple was at the candy counter in CRAIG ' S. I was there, also. She smiled and said, You don ' t remember me. I confessed my ignorance and she reminded me of our meeting at Helen ' s home. She was good looking — and funny — I never noticed it before. I see you still like CRAIG ' S CANDIES, she said. I always buy CRAIG ' S and I told her so. When you buy once, you be- come a regular customer. I have bought CRAIG ' S CANDIES for the last five years and everyone likes them. Well, the upshot of it was that I bought her a two-pound box of nutted fruit candy — the best — and, be- lieve me, she sure did like them — so I afterwards found out for myself. Take it from me, it pays to buy the good things, because one is known by the quality of his purchases. Page two hundred thirteen Confessions of a Flirt Puff — all my good intentions gone — a girl is a girl — and a fellow has got to fall for her — that ' s all. And to make a good impression with a girl one has to dress his part. I fell for Emmaline and I wanted clothes — Snappy, Stylish, College Clothes — and I got them at THE OUTLET, Corner E. Washington and Delaware Sts. When a fellow buys style in his clothes, he puts snap and ginger into himself and others judge him by what he thinks of himself. Now this is true because I know it from experience. It is necessary that a young fellow wear snappy college clothes and he can get them at THE OUTLET at popular prices. Emmaline was a Tri Delt at Butler College. I really liked the girl and was strong for her. Her sorority was throwing a dance somewhere and she invited me. She had charge of the decorating of the rooms. You know what flowers will do in the way of making a place doubly attractive. It may be just a fad, fancy, or rare good taste, but the right distribution of flowers sure do make a world of difference. Emmaline called . WIEGAND Sz SONS, 1610-20 N. Illinois St., and they sent out a representative who gave her all the information required and helped her to arrange the rooms artistically. We had some good time that evening and I don ' t think I shall forget the strong perfumes of clusters of flowers that were arranged in the south corner. Floral Fancies of the Summer they were called, and A. WIEGAND SONS superintended it. Pa e two hundred jourteen Confessions of a Flirt Six Weeks Later. Fellows, I am through. I have been engaged twice, almost married once, and would like to have been married another time — but that is buried in the past now. I am done. I have not seriously meant to flirt — not once — but I did. I am perfectly harmless now, in my room, before the fireplace, reminiscent — blowing rings of smoke of VELVET, the smoothest smoking tobacco. I like VELVET. Its good- ness grows on me, because I like things natural and honest. In my dreams I wonder if the different girls I have known think of me as like some tobaccos which get a reputation for bein ' good, because they ain ' t par- ticularly bad. But be that as it may, my best friend — VELVET, of the Liggett-Myers Tobacco Co., is particularly good to me. I am through and my confessions are ended. Page two hundred fifteen )PIPT! Notes for an Ideal College Home There is only one place to live and that place is Irvington. I want to live in the atmosphere that has surrounded me during my college life, and yet I want to live in a growing, a youthful part of town. And I know that WOODFORD — Irvington ' s North Side — is the ideal place, the log- ical place for a new, high-class residence section. Improvements are all in, sewer, gas, water and electricity are ready to connect to. Streets are graded and graveled and sidewalks are in. Every lot is planted to fruit and shade trees and shrubbery. And then the college is only three squares away, so that I can stay young because of my closeness to it. WOOD- FORD is the place for college people to live. I have Titten to JOHX S. SPANN CO., 25 E. Ohio St., for illustrated booklet describing WOODFORD. Tom and I are going to build a bungalow in WOODFORD for just us two. It is going to be our home. I am so tickled. We are going to have the nicest, cutest place in Irvington and it is going to be just our o A ' n. We have learned a lot of most important things about building our home by seeing the operation of the real work of building the many conveniences of a house at the MAAS-NEIMEYER LUMBER CO. OFFICES. They have on exhibition so many novel contrivances, so many wonderful chests and other conveniences for the modern home, and that is what we want. Our home is going to be perfect. Tom and I also ordered a cedar chest and that is what every home should have in order to take care of the many out-of-season articles that one must save. Page two hundred sixteen Notes for an Ideal College Home Our bungalow is almost finished. Tom and I, we want everything to harmonize and to match and w e have been at our wits ' ends to get suit- able electric light fixtures. You don ' t realize how much depends upon the artistic selection of chandeliers until you have noticed particularly the eft ' ects in other homes. We went to the HATFIELD ELECTRIC CO., Contractors, Supplies and Chandeliers, at Meridian and Mary- land Sts., and there we found just what we wanted. They have an arrangement and d ecorative scheme for seven beautiful rooms and, believe me, we felt relieved when we could actually see that which we had pictured to ourselves. We felt contented, for we knew that our chandeliers would harmonize and would help to make our home the ideal. There is an old saying that the best way to reach a man ' s heart is by way of his stomach. Somehow I think that is the way I got Tom, and, believe me, that is the way that I am going to keep him. But to cook efficiently I insisted on having The Cabinet Gas Range, as handled by THE CITIZENS GAS CO., at 47 S. Pennsylv. nia St. I like it the best. The double ovens of a gas range may often be used to cook an entire meal at one time with a little care in planning, and on this one there is easy access to the oven and broiler. No stooping, no lifting, and easy to keep clean. And there are so many styles to choose from. I know that I have the best. Pa e two hundred seventeen Notes for an Ideal College Home Our home is going to be unique and complete and we want every- thing to be the best. We just have to have awnings to make our house look finished and where is the best place to get them? We were told that the EBERHARDT TENT AND AWNING STORE, of 122 S. Capitol Ave., and we were very shortly convinced that they were right. It was very interesting to choose the awnings for there are so many attractive patterns and different colors play an important part in selection. But we selected awnings for the south and west side of our bungalow and also for the sleeping porch. It was funny, but Tom almost forgot to have a telephone put in and he told me to take care of it. Well, I soon fixed that, for I made im- mediate arrangements with THE CENTRAL UNION TELEPHONE CO., because what ' s the use of having a phone if you can ' t talk to your friends and all my friends have the CENTRAL UNION TELEPHONE. Tom told me I did just right, for it is the phone that he has at his office, and he says there are 53,000 other people in this city who have the same phone. I am glad I got it, because it will be such a time saver. Won ' t it be fun to call up all our friends and tell them that we are in our new bungalow. THE BELL TELEPHONE will be just the thing. Page two hundred eighteen . mw ■ Notes for an Ideal College Home But the most delightful time that we experienced was in buying our furniture. Our beautiful three-piece Bedroom Suite came from W. H. MESSENGER CO., Delaware and Washington — where it is Quality First. We took their advice and bought early and got a beautiful satin-finish four-post bed, dresser and chiffonier made by one of their best factories. Gee, but it sure is a beauty and I am crazy about it. It looks Quality, feels Quality, and is Quality. MESSENGER ' S sure do treat you right and we are going back for other furniture. One of the features of our house was to be the piano, but somehow I felt that we couldn ' t afford it. The prices were so high and the kind I wanted was of an especially high grade order. But while we were down town we stopped in with THE PEARSON PIANO CO., 125-130 North Pennsylvania St., and we found that we could get just what we wanted for only $5.00 down and that if we wanted any other make, we could have a whole year to decide about it. I just think they are grand. And then we saved so much money by buying there and, besides, we selected from the entire Pearson line — including such instruments as Mason and Ham- lin, Kurtzmann, Vose, Krakauer, Schaff Bros, and Smith Barnes. Further, we are protected by a double guarantee. We are proud of our piano and it certainly is a feature of our home. Page t ' iVO hundred nineteen Notes for an Ideal College Home And when we got to the kitchen, well I insisted that I should do the buying and I went to RHODES-BURFORD FURNITURE CO., 127-29 East Washington St., where I could get the best Kitchen Cab- inets and Refrigerators. My first selection was the Sellers Kitcheneed with its automatic lowering flour bin, a feature of especial value to a small woman ; and its snowy white porcelain extension, its handy bins for sugar, bread and cake and clever compartments for all necessities. Then I selected a refrigerator, with white enameled food compartments and a hardwood case. It was at an exceptional low value. In fact, I found so much that was of especial interest to me that I bought all my kitchen necessities right there. At last our home is complete — complete with furniture from the OILAR-BANNER FURNITURE CO., of 33 S. Meridian St. Our dining room set was a reproduction of the William and Mary period and was made of quarter-sawed oak, finished in the pleasing Jacobean color with leather bottom chairs to match. The large library room was unique with a davenport and low back arm chairs upholstered according to my selection of materials, which matched the trimmings of the room. As I look through these rooms I see them each as an artistic triumph and some- thing of which I am greatly proud. My notes are complete — my house and home finished; and I leave these notes that Butler students may achieve the ideal college home with much greater ease than I was able to. Page tu ' o hundred tu enty Shoping with the College Girl My, this business of graduating is almost as strenuous and exciting as getting married, but, thank goodness, there isn ' t going to be any mad last minute rush for me, for I made my last purchases this morning. Talk about wearing yourself out shopping — I used to dread it, too — but I ' ve got things down to a system now, so that I know where to go for every- thing. See! All these things here came from TUCKER ' S GLOVE CO., 18 N. Meridian St. — both these pairs of gloves, all of my hosiery, and these wonderful Italian silk undervests. Quality! Well, I should say. I ' ve knocked around town enough to know that in every sense of the word it pays to buy at a good, reliable, established place like TUCKER ' S. Oh, yes, and let me show you my shoes. I ' m just tickled to death over them. Aren ' t they just too good looking for words! And I care if you get some just like them? Why, bless your old heart, I should say not. I got them at MAROTT ' S SHOE SHOP, 18-20 East Washing- ton St. They ' re awfully obliging and courteous to you in there and the clerks are just grand. They sure do know the stock and they don ' t bore you to tears and use up all your time showing you a lot of stuff you don ' t want. Honest, I never saw the like, the way they ' re able to bring out just exactly what you want. If you like these you just run along and get yourself a pair and I know you ' ll be satisfied, because I ' ve bought a lot of shoes at M ROTT ' S and they ' ve always given me splendid service.

I ' ve paid just as much for other corsets, but I never in all my life had one that I liked as well as this one. Funny, but it seems that I have missed the joys of wearing a corset till I put this one on. Isn ' t it just a beauty! Just look at that material and the way it ' s finished. But it fits supremely and it is comfortable. Sure! Siie ' ll make an appoint- ment with you. Call up NORTAN ' S CORSET SHOP, 11 North Meridian St. Come here — why hi there Mary, you ' re just in time — we ' re talking about commencement duds. Oh, you are. Well, say, have you seen her party dress. It ' s just a dream; the daintiest thing I ever saw, and she got it all ready made at SELIG ' S, 20-22 W. Washington St., and didn ' t have to be bothered with fittings and all that nuisance. They have got some awfully swell graduation dresses. I saw one myself that I am going to get tomorrow. Commencement week is such a bore unless you have lots of clothes and I am going to go where they are making a particular sale of party and graduation dresses. Me for SELIG ' S for my new dresses. Page two hundred twenty-Hvo Shopping With the College Girl For pity sakes, Mary, come to my rescue! Any treat you say if you ' ll go down with me tomorrow to get a hat. I ' ve walked the streets all afternoon and nothing to show for it but a splitting headache and a bad temper. Mary, you know I think you always have the best looking hats of any girl in school. They always give such a smart, chic, soul- satisfying touch to whatever you wear. How do you do it? Simple as can be. The answer is RINK ' S, 32, N. Illinois St. They surely must have some good buyer in there; have never been disap- pointed yet. Always buy all my hats there, and no matter whether its for street or party, they always have that — oh, you know — sort of excki- sive, distinguished, intangible something about them that makes you cry out to yourself, ' Ha, ha! I have found it, my hat! ' And here ' s a sample of the sort of marvelous creations you can get at LANGEN ' S, there in the Occidental Building, at Corner of Illinois and Washington. Their blouses aren ' t just wearing apparel, they ' re true works of art. Did you ever see such a lovely, fairy dream of a thing as this shell pink Georgette one. Oh, I never saw such pretty ones as they have there; all colors and all kinds, and you can ' t imagine what a funny, happy, light-hearted feeling it gives you to be able to carry one away with you and to know that it ' s your own, your very, very own. Ha! I ' ll tell you, ' a thing of beauty is a joy forever. ' Page two hundred twenty-three ' a DRIFT!

Well me for WHITMAN ' S I I think that ' s the most bewitchingly impossible thing I ' ve seen this season; just enough of the jaunty, saucy air about it to make it irresistible. Really, girls, I think we ought to give the Butler men fair warning or else we won ' t have any show at all when once Marie appears in their midst with her charming ways and — Ah, yes, ladies, as much as it grieves me to say it — her equally charming suit. Personality plus good looking clothes is a dangerous combination. For the love o ' Mike, girls, what is going on in here? Such goings on I never in my life heard of. If you ' re not careful Miss Chandler her- self will be up to re-establish peace and quiet. Never you mind, my little lady, you ' ll Oh I and Ah I yourself when you see it — it ' s Dorothy ' s new coat that came from WM. H. BLOCK CO., Illinois and Market Sts., this afternoon. Come forth with it Dorothy I There, now, did you ever see such a good looking garment this side of Paris? Honest, girls, it is quality. But such color and such style!

WASSOX S, 6-18 W. Washington St., ' just looking. ' Nowhere else in Indianapolis have I seen so many really beautiful articles of feminine apparel. Silken pajamas, picturesque looking and delightfully suggestive of the Orient; charming little boudoir caps of filmy lace and tiny rosebuds; exquisitely beautiful silk negligees with just a touch of needlework; camisoles and envelope chemises so bewitchingly feminine, so maddeningly alluring that I felt as if surely some genii has been plying his art here. It ' s a real treat just to see these things, to linger over them and to drink in their exquisite beauty at the H. P. WASSOX CO. STORE. ' You say you don ' t see how I always keep myself looking so fresh and dainty with such a limited wardrobe. Well, maybe it is something of an art in these days of such strict economy, so 1 11 let you in on the secret. I go to the XEW YORK STORE, 25-39 E. Washington St., every now and then and lay in a fresh supply of neckwear. They have such good looking, really enchanting, new shapes in their collars and at such surprisingly reasonable prices. There ' s no excuse for not looking well when you can add the smart, correct touch for such a little.

Fully equipped for travel, it weighs a half-ton less than comparable cars. Pick out a rough road in this locality and drive the Marmon over it at any touring speed. Even the heaviest of the major class cars cannot equal the comfort that you will experience. Scientific construction, inter- preted by the Marmon, includes the extensive use of aluminum, perfect balance, and elimination of many parts. The result is light- ness and simplicity. In the ordinary car such parts as the heel-board, running boards, and side-shields are extra parts — dead parts. In the Marmon they are formed by structural parts; these structural parts are live working parts. Light weight and balance have so increased efficiency that Marmon 34 owners find it will average con- siderably more distance per gallon of fuel than cars of like size and power. In tire mileage owners also find it will exceed them from two to three thousand miles. Will you consent to a demon- stration, and designate the road? Local Branch Nordyke Marmon Co.

Since 1895 Michelins have stood every conceivable test from the gruelling grind of the race course to the day-in-and-day-out punishment of motor trucks and touring cars over all kinds of roads and in all kinds of weather. In the New Michelin Universals you are getting a non-skid tread in addition to the famous racing-type flat tread. Thus you have the happy combination of the plain casing and the non-skid, at the same time retaining the characteristic IMichelin ilat tread, which grips the ground on starting without loss of traction or rubber. So you ' ll readily see that IVIichelins stand the test of touring because: Michelins contain from 5 to 8 plies of fabric (one more size for size than the ordinary tire). Michelins contain from 12 to 15 per cent, more rubber than most other tires. Michelins have real non-skid treads, combining all the advantages of other non-skids without their disadvantages. These are just a few of the many reasons why )our durable Michelin tires will carry you along on your tours with a sturdy resiliency that will be a source of pleasure and profit to you.

No doubt 3 our interest has been confined to what it costs and how much is in your tank. Gasoline furnishes the energy which propels your car. The energy is derived solely from the heat of combustion; therefore it is greater or less in direct proportion to the number of heat units contained in the fuel. The rate of combustion must be in direct proportion to the time necessary for the piston to perform a useful working stroke — that makes smooth, rhythmic power. Red Crown Gasoline has that continuous chain of boiling point fractions, begin- ning at about 95 degrees Fahrenheit and ending at above 400 degrees Fahrenheit, to produce that useful working stroke rather than the violent slam of the piston pro- duced by the so-called high-test gasoline, which makes jerky power and racks your engine. RED CROWN GASOLINE Everywhere and Everyivhere the Same It ' s that continuous chain of boiling hut falls away equally quickly as the points from 95 degrees Fahrenheit to stroke progresses; in other words, the above 400 degrees Fahrenheit which tells p . j . , - r rown the story. ,.

First, we were fortunate enough to se- cure as our chief engineer the man who built the first aluminum motor in Amer- ica. Earl G. Gunn ' s overhead valve Aluminum Six motor is without a doubt the most sensational motor ever put under a hood. — And this statement is subject to proof to any intelligent jury of experts, or to any motorist. Next we succeeded in obtaining, as regular equipment, the greatest motor car improvement since the advent of the elec- tric starter, namely, the Cutler-Hammer INIagnetic Gear Shift — a device which takes all the labor out of driving and adds immeasurabl}- to the road range of any car on which it is installed. — Then, in the face of a most difficult market, we were able to obtain the choic- est parts, and an ample supply of the most modern machinerv. On top of these good fortunes, we were able to interest the very highest grade of motor car merchants, the country over, in our product. Our experience with Premier has been delightfully unusual. We have had no serious troubles of any kind to overcome. Some few little things have gone wrong, but we instantl) righted them ; besides, none of them were fundamental. Today, Premier production is as fin- ished and smooth as that of cars that have been on the market for years. — and the car mechanically is far in advance of the times.
