Soon some of these chicks were sent to large Hrooding Companies in order to raise good producers. The Central Hrooder Company, Pella, lovva, received seventy- tive of these little hirds in September, l9Z4. The men and women in control of this Company have prepared a nutritious food in the form of a four-year loaf, which contains three main ingredients, namely, lj those that are espe- cially valuable in the development of clear and effective means of communi- cation, those that have a bearing' on the why and wherefore of chicken behavior-its causes and effects, and SQ those that create a desire for investi- gation and research work. This particular tiock has already devoured three-fourths of the loaf, and is in a thriving condition. One young chanticleer has hecome president of a parliament of fowls. Six are members of a flock which occasionally takes a notion to stand on some elevation, at home or in the neighboring vicinity and make harmony with their voices, thereby calling' attention to the place where they are so successfully trained. Seven females of the tlock with others of their kind stretch forth their 'nekkes' long and small and make such joyful sounds that all rejoice to hear and praise with many words the Central Company. Une of the seven made such wonderful sounds at the home of the Agricultural College, on March 2, 1927, and xvon applause exceeded by only one other. Another female of the shipment of l924 is leader of all the foyvls of her group interested in spiritual verities.

All right then, Let's go home. Compu: Day YENY year, in the course of students, events, when the birds, by their twitter in the trees, announce the coming of spring and the dandelions, springing up over the water pipes, make their first appearance on the campus and at the time when it becomes necessarv to remove all that which mars the beauty of our campus, and to accomplish that which will adorn it, in order that the college campus have an appearance equal to the other beau- tiful lawns of the city and to which the laws of nature entitle it: the student council, having received permission from the faculty, declares that on such and such a day, when Phoebus Apollo can be seen in his course thru the heavens, every student and faculty member shall lav aside his cloak of dignity and assume a garment suitable for hard labor, and then, armed with whatever weapon he is able to secure, appear on the campus. And so it alsohappened in the springlof the year l926, after the aforesaid body had issued such a declaration. On stated time the great army, coming from all directions, clad in varied attire, and armed with all kinds of weapons, assembled. Only a few moments elapsed and the attack was launched. The more stalwart men applied themselves to the more strenuous part of the work, such as the handling of spade, ax and hammer, while those less favored with sinew and brawn, and also the fairer sex, applied themselves to the lighter tasks. And so in the course of time, amid toil and struggle the debris, refuse, and all that which is unbecoming disappeared.

MARTHA FIRTH Was born early enough to be a good author- Paga 57 The Battle 0f1926 N the Fall' of the year 1926 there appeared on the campus of our college a group of verdant beings-the verdnre of whom had not been equalled in the ages gone by. ln spite of their similiarity to the green grass of the fields and the green leaves on the trees, they soon emerged from this feeble state. Moreover, as it is characteristic for green grass to grow, so likewise these strangers began to grow intellectually and physically, at lea-st in their own minds. Qne morning the campus was gorgeously decorated by the unsophisticated Sopho- znores who had painted here and there and elsewhere their badge of authority. The immigrants, formerly mild, were indignant when they beheld the beautiful place in such a pitiful condition. They gathered in assembly to discuss the proper revenge upon those manifesting undue authority and supremacy. The following day the verdict of the assembly was publicly proclaimed in solemn and portentious tones that in the following week the ofifended would challenge the offenders to a tug-of-war across Ver Meer's pond. The day was too long for the Sophomores. Vtfould the time ever come that they could read their voluntary acceptance in public? At last the day of their glory had come. The bravest of their multitude read in a defiant manner that they would show their power and courage by engaging in contest with the new arrivals. The day of woe and reckoning is at hand. Rach party has mustered its forces by drafting into its service the best able-bodied men within its ranks. Clad in their uniform and equipped as a man of war, the two contending forces are transported on large trucks to the battle front. The opposing parties each arrange themselves in tug-of-war array. Those fighting on the defensive are inhabiting the quarters toward the setting of the sun, while those fighting on the offensive are stationed across the NO MAN'S LAND of water toward the rising of the sun., At the signal of the captains the recruits begin to dig trenches for their feet. Another signal. The men arise. Now, in a standing position thev receive the final signal. The rope is taunt across the waves. Now, as you watch, it moves to the rightg now to the left. Now, it is still. Perspiration flows from the bodies of these brave men. They gasp for breath. Those to the Fast of the pond are gainingg those to the W'est of the pond are gaining. The Sophs are winning. The Frosh are slowly coming out of their trenches. The first Freshman is in the water. Now the second, the third, and in a moment the newcomers are all in the midst of the watery level. Finally, with slight exertion the victors pull the conquered up on their own shores. The struggle is over. Both sides have used all the energy which they formerly possessed. The Sophs go home, arrogant, but feeling that the opponents almost equal themselves in strength. The Freshies also return homeward, thankful that the opponents were compelled to exhaust themselves in order to win the fight. Now, the war is over. The Armistice is signed, and peace reigns supreme. Freflzmen-Sophomore Banque! HE outcome of the hard fought contest between the Frosh and Sophomores on that memorable day, resulted in one of the prettiest banquets of the school year. Dinner was announced at seven o'clock. The guests descended to the skill- fully decorated dining room, whose beauty was enhanced by the dim glow of the candle lights, and the music. Exclamations of delight broke the hush that had fallen upon the guests at first sight of the banquet tables. Tiny ropes of crepe paper were sus- pended between the candles set at each end of the table. Place cards, menus and nut cups were done in colors complimentary to the Sophomore class. The tables were cozily arranged, thus lending to the warm and genial atmosphere of the room. The classs flags hung at each side of the dining room as a vain reminder of past victories and present glories. - A four course dinner was served consisting of a cocktail, a meat, a salad and a dessert course. Immediately following Toastmaster Van Dyke assumed charge of the program. Toasts were given by Gilbert Boot, Herman Vander Well and Dean Pietenpolg a vocal duet by the Misses Eunice Straks and Mabel Te Selle: a quartette consisting of Messrs. Vogelaar, Nagel, Gosselink and Poppen. Kathryn Kooreman gave a reading. The entire group sang C. U. I. and the happy party betook them- selves to their respective homes. ity on history.

However, attending such peaceful and sedate insti- Aazdemy Aalwzntagef HE Academy offers an opportunity for education to young people who have a desire to learn and are willing to make sacrifices toward that end. It puts an opportunity for education within reach of those anxious to obtain a share of the great harvest of learning, those who would otherwise be shut out from its bounty. There are young people who for various reasons have been denied the privilege of continuing their education. It is to these, as well as to others who have had no break in their school life, that the Central Academy extends a welcome hand, and attempts to give a worth- while secondary education. However, that is not the only end and aim of the Academy. It uses its power to instill into its students a desire and an ambition for higher learning, an ambition which carries the individuals on and on in the search for true knowledge. lt endeavors to fit them for the task of obtaining this knowledge. A pupil well prepared for college is never a source of trouble, but is always a satisfaction to his instructors. It is only when a student has a good foun- dation that he is able to profit by all those opportunities which come to him in his college career, Central Academy is thorough and painstaking in its work and carefully fits its students for higher forms of education. Students of the Academy are not limited in their pursuits to the com- monly prescribed course of study. They may attain to accomplishment along musical lines, in oratory and debate or in dcclamation. The interests of an Academy student are many. The Adelphian Literary Society has not been a small factor in Academy life. True, the Academy student will remember at some later time days of hard workg he will also remember the firm friends he has made-the friendships formed with those of a common purpose and goal-friendships which are true and lasting. Central Academy is still fullilling its mission as a means of education and as a stepping stone to higher things. lt still maintains its high ideal and worthy purpose of encouragement to young people to strive for better and nobler ends. tutions could not develop a warlike histori- cal mimi, so she entered Central College. This, of course, gave her the 'necessary brmkgrozzml for a wonrlerful opportunity Page 61 Fozmzlerf' Day Banquet NE of the occasions to which board members, faculty, seniors and presidents of various organizations look forward at commencement time is the Founders' Day banquet. This is a dinner dedicated to the founders of Central College and given by Mr. George A, hlewett, one of the oldest living alumni, who received his degree in 1862. This year was no exception. At seven o'clock on the 27th day of May those who had the privilege of attending gathered at the dormitory dining room. The dinner was spiced with song and laughter. Not only were many of the old folk songs sung, but also some of the more popular ones and a few rounds. After our physical wants had been satisfied for the time being President VVesselink introduced respectively, Mr. George A. jewett, Mr. Jaragin, and Mr. Nathan Towne. Each of these men had received degrees from Central and were schoolmates in the early days. They told of the struggles and hardships that the school was undergoing at that time and helped us realize the growth and progressive spirit of Central. Other numbers on the program were a solo, By the VVaters of Minnetonlcaf, sung beautifully by Miss Edna Vander Meer, and two readings given by Mrs. Minnie Mauldin. Indeed we were royally entertained, and after the singing of C. U. T. we departed with thankful hearts, feeling greatly indebted to one of Centralis first students, Mr. George Jewett. to get history thru practical experience.

Have you ever stopped to think of what there would be left if all forms of music were to be taken out of life? Indeed, we say, there would be much less of the joy and inspiration that we need so much in our lives. And it would also remove one valuable means of ex- pressing ourselves. Central realizes the importance of music in many forms and this is one reason why her Conservatory of Music is so strong. The student who desires to take up a study of music may do so along with any other line of college work, and obtain full credit toward his Bachelor of Arts degree. Credit is also given for all Theory work. By this it may be seen that music is considered in Central to be of just as great importance to the development and broadening of the student as many other subjects, and is given its deserved place in the curriculum of the school. Professor George Francis Sadler is the Director of the Conservatory, and the large number of musicians who have studied under him and who are now successful' teachers and entertainers all over the country, testify to his ability as an instructor. He is teacher of Piano, Pipe Organ and Theory. He also directs the Mens' Glee Club. Mrs, Mary Taylor-Liggett, as head of the Voice Department with Mrs. Dorothy VVidger-Henry, as assistant, has helped many an inspiring .singer to carry out his or her ambitions.

'llhe answer of those who were interested in playing in the band was that there could be no band without a leader, and no leader had been provided as yet. No one seemed to feel himself quite equal to the task of directing' a baud, but, a band must be had to aid in producing' and main- taining' the much needed element of pep , A certain junior, who really had the ability of a conductor, but who was a tritle too modest. threw oft all traces of this modesty, and full of enthusiasm and go-gettismn organized the band and directed it as well.

Ladzef' Glee Club T NE of the most active of the musical organizations on the campus is the Girls' Glee Club. Girls may like to talk a great deal, but they love to sing, too, and the result is that every Monday and Thursday after- noon twenty girls meet with the director, Mrs. Liggett, in the Voice Studio or in the Chapel and work diligently for an hour and a half with the object of producing harmony. Not only do the girls enjoy the work themselves, but others enjoy the results of their work. The club affords a splendid means of advertising for Central. The club prepares several types of programs suitable for various occasions and finds more than enough use for them. Cities in the surrounding vicinity are always eager to hear the club and many concerts are given during the year, besides the concerts that are given on the annual tour. The club is made up of girls whose voices, after repeated try-outs, are found to blend best with one another, and of course the girls must not be afraid of hard work. The personnel of the club is as follows: FIRST SOPRANO Anna Tysseling, Pella, lowa Bertha l'lette, l'ella, Iowa. VVanda Nelson, Minneapolis, Minn. Dorothy Muyskens, Albert Lea, Minn. Mable Schnller, Orange City, Iowa FIRST ALTO Martina Korver, Alton, Iowa Cathryn Bunger, Davis, S. Dak.

Leaves were descending upon mother earth. The vigor of youth was centered upon the pigskin encounters of this season of the year. The vvarbling of the meadow lark in the distant field, the whistling of the hobolink in an adjacent tree and the chirping of the sparrows in the vines, all created an atmosphere for the ma11y young hopefuls who wended their way to the studios eagerly aspiring for a place on the Glee Club.

The orchestra, in its various appearances cluring the year, has been a source of great pleasure, to say the least. VVe shoulcl like to see the person who cloes not enjoy listening' to a good orchestra, anrl feeling the thrill that somehow always comes when we are witnesses to some achievement that requires utmost co-operation, and in which it is successful. lt is one of the most flifhcult things for a group of players on various, clistinctly clilterent instruments to co-operate. Before an orchestra begins to play, ancl while all the instruments are being tunecl, we often wonder how anything beautiful or harmonious can come from such an array.

Central College with the Beta is one of twelve chapters among the colleges of Iowa. To have speakers who are not only quick thinkers but Huent masters of speech, trained through participation in intercollegiate forensics, is the aim of the Pi Kappa Delta. The key is the insignia of this organization. The order and the degree of dis- tinction is denoted by the jewel. The ruby signifies membership or fraternityg the pearl stands for proficiency, the emerald for honor and the diamond for special dis- tinction. This key may be worn only by members of Pi Kappa Delta. Thus the key becomes not only the sign of the fraternity but gives a measure of distinction to the wearer. Pi Kappa Delta has been an instrument in securing more people to enter forensica activities. Not only has it served to promote interest in State contests but as a result of its influence, students have entered the Peace contest staged each year. Annual state and national conventions are held both in the orders of oratory and debate, to arrange the activities for the following year.

VVe are glad of the lately demonstrated interest because it means that students are awakening to the possibilities in this work. VVe cannot over emphasize the value of the art of speech, especially of this type, for certainly the great part of our every day speech consists in knowing one's subject, and imparting one's knowledge. On February 18th Miss Angeline Van Duren represented us in the State Contest at Buena Vista College, Storm Lake, Iowa, and although she did not place, we feel that we were not defeated. Cn March 4th Mr. Louis Benes took second place at the State Contest held at Iowa VVesleyan College, Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, speaking on a phase of the military training problem. This seems to indicate that our extempore career is commencing properly, and that there is much in store for Central in the future. HENRY W.

Of course, the young Page 78 CORNELIUS NVILKENS JUNE STUREMAN Umtory MONG the various things that Central emphasizes in extra curricula activities is the participation in forensics. Out of such participation have come orators of which Central is duly proud. Miss June Stureman won the intramural XVomcn's Oratorical Contest and Mr. Cornelius VVilkins the men's. The NVomen's State Contest was held at Buena Vista on February the eighteenth. There, Miss June, with her oration, Broken Vows won the state contest thus giving the cup, which for two years had been in the pos- session of Buena Vista, to Central. Miss June on April 25, again represented Central at Iowa VVesleyan in the provincial contest where representatives from Kansas, Missouri, Iowa and Illinois participated. Miss Sturcman delivered the same oration, Broken Vows, and once more won lirst place. The Men's State Contest was held at Iowa Vtfesleyan on March fourth. There, Mr. Cornelius NVilkins, delivered his oration, The Tomorrow, and won second place. It will be remembered that Mr, XVilkins placed second at the State Contest last year also. It seems that work of this type would give genuine satisfaction to the participant because of the realization that such work is not a temporary but a permanent thing.

And who can help being interested and anxious to participate and help after the brilliant achievements of the last year? And what are these achievements? First, the State Contest for NVomen was held here at Central on February 16. Representatives from State Teachers, Buena Vista, Penn, Iowa NVesleyan, Mt. Pleasant, Parsons and Central were present. There were both ex- temporaneous and oratorical contests. ln the former on the subject of Marriage and Divorce, Miss June Stureman participated against the six other colleges and Won the laurels for Central, gaining' first place, In the oratorical contest Miss Bessie Vander Ploeg with her oration, Now or Never, concerning the Japanese question, gained second place. Second, the Men's State Contest was held at Parsons College. Here Central was represented by Mr. Carmen Trembath in the extemporaneous speaking contest who made a brilliant showing as a Freshman. Our orator, Mr. VVilkens, with The Present Crisis, entered the contest and brought home honors by giving us a second place. VVe wish to congratulate these contestants on their victoriesg but these people cannot carry the laurels for us forever. They will soon leave these halls of learning.

Equally true is it of the Y. M. C, A, in our college. lt would be difficult to judge or even imagine what kind of school this would be if it were robbed of such organizations as the Y. M. and Y, NV. C. A. Amidst the busy hours of toil and study the Y. M. C. A. gives an opportunity for all the young men to come to its meetings every Tuesday to imbibe the truths which are there expressed, and to be edified and to be brought into contact with the higher things in such a spiritual environment. The Y. M. C. A. tries to help the young men not only in their weekly meetings, but also in their daily contact with one another as comrades and friends. To summarize, in detail, everything for which the Y. M. C. A. stands would not be permitted in this space, but the outstanding factors which make it a very important organization to every young man can be mentioned briefly: to promote faith in God through jesus Christ by the prayer meetings and bible study, to inculcate in each life a larger measure of that positively moral and religious spirit, to induce students voluntarily into membership of the Christian Church, and to challenge students to devote their entire lives in unison with all Christians to make Christ supreme in their lives.

I ,. i . - o '--t ,V:,, fWC.A. T the beginning of school each new girl is greeted by a cheerful bouquet of flowers in her room, placed there by the Y. XY. C. A. On the first Friday night there is a school mixer staged by the Y. M. and Y. NY. This draws both professors and students to the gym and gives each an opportunity to become better acquainted. 'llhe following Monday comes the first real meeting of the Y. XY. C. A. followed by a watermelon feed and social time, Then every succeeding Monday the girls meet at the chapel for devotional meetings and discussion groups. These are some of the things which show the Y. YV. C. A. on the campus. But the Y. XV. does other things of which only the result can be seen. lt creates a spirit of friendship among the girls of the college with a spirit of co-operation. lt calls brilliant and more experienced men and women to come and talk to the students and gives them the advantage of sharing in their higher and greater experiences. Also, it is the one organization on the campus which strives to minister to the spiritual needs of every young woman. Every person should develop a four-fold life, namely physical, mental, social and greatest of all, spiritual. lt is for this the Y. NV. C. A. is striving-a greater spiritual atmosphere on the campus and in the heart of every girl, and a willingness to live all in all for the Master.

They find that there are as many beautiful places where God's handiwork is-re- vealed in nature in America as in any other country. So also there are as many opportunities in America as in other lands for Christian service. Those students at Central who have decided to go into definite Christian Work such as the ministry, home mission work, teaching in Christian colleges, academies or mission schools, or Y. M. C. A., Y. NV. C. A. and Sunday School work have organized themselves into a band which has been named the Home Yolunteer Band of Central Collegef' The purpose of this organization is to discuss problems, which they will have to face when in this great work, so that they may be better prepared to meet them. They are united by one common purposeg that of serving the Master better and furthering the progress of His kingdom here upon earth. This purpose has a great responsibility attached to it and because of this, the members feel the need of preparation. Regular meetings are held every two weeks and often the discussions are led by those who have had experience along those lines and realize the nature of the problems. ln spite of the fact that some seed falls by the wayside, some on stony ground, some among thorns and only a small part falls on good soil and brings forth good fruit and then out of this small part some yields only thirty fold, there is joy in the work of the Master. Central's hopes and wishes are that this organization along with the Student Yolunteer Band may continue to grow both in spirit and number. Student Volunteer Bund ROM the time when the Lover of Mankind roamed the plains of Judea preaching the good news of the Kingdom, there has been a steady pro- cession of missionaries pressing towards the ends of the earth. This pro- cession has always been incomplete but especially so today. The age is ripe for spiritual harvest in the foreign lands. The possibilities and need for missionary work challenge every young man and woman. NVC are challenged to work with immutable souls. Central has always taken an active part in mission work. For many years an organization called the Student Volunteer Bandy' has offered op- portunity for young men and women who want to make- the most of their lives by purposing, if God permit, to enter foreign missionary service. It is a purpose that hides self and promotes God's work in us. A Christian's duty is to give himself, not to Worry about himself. As long as you keep yourself to yourself you can do nothing for anybody. The call of missions comes to every follower of Christ. lt is the duty of every Christian to press his life into harmony with the will of God and to find his right relation to Him who loves and commands mission work. at the age of Thirteen years. Miss Bailey attended the Minnesota School of Oratory and Dramatic Art and there secured her B. 0. degree. Frances says it is hard to Page 87 College Mzxer gg AY, do you remember what a good time we had that first Friday night after we came to Central? Do you mean at the College Mixer?

But didn't yon feel as if the whole world was brighter then? Vtfhy, you know everybody was there, and the orchestra was playing and I just forgot all about being homesick. I made so many new friends and learned the names of several of the students, toof' That really was the best way to get acquainted, wasn't it? But do you remember how we were introduced to the faculty? I thought I'd never get over laughing about Prof. Hacke and Prof. Bosch when they acted as naughty boys in that schoolroom stunt that the faculty put on. For that matter they all looked and acted their parts, The entertainment committee 'was rather hard on the faculty. Don't you think so? You know afterward they called on some of them for speeches and gave Prof. Heemstra the subject, The Psychological Moment. That reminds me! NVith whom did you march around the campus? Oh, I remember now. It was the class president. Didn't the refreshments taste good though after that walk ? I'll say they did. Did you know the words of C. U. I. when we sang it just before we went home? l didn't, but I hummed along anyhow. I think the Y. M. and Y. NV. ought to have a vote of thanks for that evening's entertainment.', Warhzhgion Banquet NE of the great get-together festivals of the school year is the VVash- ington Banquet. On the twenty-second of February, students, faculty, and the people of Pella meet in the Ladies' Dormitory Dining Room to celebrate George VVashington's birthday.

N our modern schools, student government or student representation in some form plays an important part. The Student Council is the student representative organization at Central. lts membership consists of four representatives elected from the Senior class, three from the Junior class, two from the Sophomore class and one each from the Freshman class and the Academy. The Dean is a member exofficio, making twelve in all. Meetings are held twice a month, Any member of the student body may make a recommendation or complaint, through his representative, for consideration by the Council. The Council recommends matters which they deem bene- Iicial for the good of the school to the faculty. who have always been very considerate in dealing with such requests. The Council has power to make laws and regulations pertaining to student affairs subject to the approval of the faculty. The Student Council has become a valuable medium through which the students express their desires and work for the improvement of the school in all phases of college life. It is the desire of the Council to foster a spirit of co-operation and friendliness between faculty and student body and be- tween classes and organizations and to strive for the advancement of Central.

VVhen it was discovered that there were a sufhcient number of students interested in this enterprise, definite movements toward organiza- tion Were begun. At first, We formed a temporary -organization with F. Ter Louw as President and H. Vanlt Kerlchof as Secretary. VVC selected the name Lambda, Epsilon, Phil' by which We identify ourselves. As the weeks rolled by we adopted a constitution and by-laws. The faculty recognized us as a society, Our work is mostly of a literary nature. Vile have also seen fit to have an occasional drill in Parliamentary law. A Word of appreciation is due to MT. NV.

Due to the fact that many students spend the week ends at their country homes, and cannot become members, the society does not have the membership it otherwise might have. Nevertheless, this does not detract from the spirit of the society. The Adelphian Society was eight years old last fall. The group who founded Adelphia have been scattered but their work continues towards a definite goal. XVC are fortunate in having a small room in the gymnasium for our regular meeting placeg we are also grateful to the kind members, who live in Pella and vicinity and who invite us to meet at their homes. On every Friday night we give a program towards which every member contributes and attempts to develop his or her talents in the best way possible. Through this training much is gained along literary linesg spiritual life is deepened and social poise acquired. livery September we give an annual reception for the new students. This fall, Miss Mary Ilruins gave usthe use of her home for the occasion. A social time of games and sports was spent and eight talented students felt that they could also do their part in Adelphia.

The first number on the program was music furnished by the Glee Clubs, after which Rev. Bruins offered a word of prayer. President XVesselinl: gave the main address of the afternoon. He spoke of the labor and sacrifice of the early pioneers, naming Rev. Scholte as one who had done much toward making the College dream in Pella a reality. This sacrificial spirit of seventy- three years ago, which has made Central a success in the past, is the same spirit which is making the building possible. Dr. VVesselink then introduced the men. who shared the platform with him, as representatives of the four different classes of people who are probably most interested in the progress of Central. Each one spoke a few words and then removed a shovelful of sod from the site of the new building. The first speaker was George A. Jewett, a representative of the alumni. He entered the College in 1857. Central at that time was a struggling school but it has progressed steadily. The citizens of Pella were represented by P. G. Gaass who has served the longest on the Board of Trustees. Mr. H. Vanden Berg represented the administration of the College, having been treasurer for 26 years. Mr. Groendyke represented the students. He was a member of the Senior class and reminded us of the fact that they had entered Central the fall of 1922, just three months after the destruction of Old Central, and were leaving before the new building would come into existence. They missed the advantages of -the much needed room but are taking the Central spirit with them. At this same occasion Mr. Groendylce presented the Senior class gift which was a donation toward the new building fund, and amounted to sixteen hundred and sixty dollars. Truly the Senior class of 1926 has also shown the sacrihcial spirit. After the speeches everyone sang, The Church's One Foundation, after which Rev. H. C. Pietenpol closed with prayer. Before the crowd left, every one joined in singing C. U. I. which expresses never dying love for Central. her husband? If was 'indeed fortzmate that she graduated from college because it was then that she got mnrrfied to Henry W. Pietenpol. They now have a sweet child and Page 99 5 T lze WZWQIW' Club HIS year a new club has been organized on the campus of Central College. This organization is popularly known as the MATH,' club. lt is chiefly composed of students who are making mathematics their major, although that is not a requirement. The members of this group are students who are expecting to teach mathematics in high school and Who are especially interested in discussing the problems which must be met by a teacher of high school mathematics. At the weekly meeting various reports on such problems are given by different members and are then discussed by the group. These discussions sometimes become quite heated. lt is quite interesting to learn what views others hold on some of the subjects and problems which are brought up. This organization is not limited to students of the mathematics depart- ment of Central College, Others, although they may be students of other departments or teachers interested in this subject, are welcomed and invited to share in the discussions. The members of this organization are looking for help and advice in order that they may be able to solve such problems as are encountered in this line of work. Although the membership is not large in number, it is trying to work out the difficulties to which its members look forward, and each member feels that the MATH Club is of great benefit. Truly the MATH Club is worthy to take its place among the other organizations on the campus of Central College. between lmsbaiwl and wife the child had cz college education before her teeth broke 'HIT0llglI.

In addition, a number of freshmen came Ollf for practice, COACH PENCE who had previously played football 111 high school. Although the achievement of the team, considered in terms of the victories obtained, was not exceptionally outstanding, yet the Coach can be complimented on the team he developed and the boys on the work they have done, for the defeats which were received came from the hands of strong opponents. Of tl1e seven games which were played three ended in victory, three in defeat and one was scoreless. The tirst game played was with Simpson college at Indianola. Kersbergcn was the hero for Central, as he secured two touchdowns, the first one by recovering a p11nt which was blocked by Rowland, and the second one by recovering a fumble from Simpson. The game ended l3-7 in favor of Central. The next battle was with Pa son's strong aggregation The game was a hard fought battle ending with a 7-tl score ill favor of the Xlfildcats. X1Vesleyan's held was the next one to be invaded and resulted in an 8-tl score in favor of the Red and VVhite. Rowland's end playing was a big feature of the SIPIIIP. Tl1e following game took place on the home field with the Still Osteopaths. The score was a close one being I4-13 in 'favor of the lpone-selters. Foor and Rnwlgtml ez-eh made a touchdown for Central. The game with Ellsworth College at their lioniscoming at Iowa Falls brought a defeat 6-0. As far as the score was concerned, the game with Graceland brought neither victory 11or defeat. The last ga111e of the season was played with the Iowa Business College, and ended with a score of 26-0 in favor of Central. Alsip's dashes and r11ns were the big features of the game. ' The s111n total of points made by Central's team during the season was 60, while the s11m tot:-l of the oppencnt's points was 34, This is b11t an indication of the fine showing made by Central's team.

Hli l926fZ7 basketball season at Central can be considered as having been a decided success. .Nlthough the cherished goal of conference championship was not reached, yet the fact that the team attained second place in the conference is evidence of splendid work this season, The class tournaments which were held at the opening of the season revealed a splendid collection of basketball material and gave warrant for the expectation of a successful season. .-'Xll of last year's regulars we1'e back as also were some of the other members of the squad. and in addition to these there were others who displayed unusual ability for Ending' the loop. Of the fourteen conference games played during' the season, eleven brought victories and three brought defeats. ln addition to these Central played four non- couference games all of which resulted in victories for the Red and VVhite. Captain Neifert, l-loogeveen, Rowland, Beyers and Tandy comprised the five regulars although Giles, TJ. Neifert and Hetherington were frequently used as substitutes. The hrst conference game of the season was played with the Parson five, the conference champions of the season. The game was played on the home floor and it brought the hrst defeat of the season. ln the return game, the Red and NVhite were again compelled to go down in defeat with a 14-l2 score. The third and last defeat of the season came from the hands of the Simpson aggregation, who had been defeated in the first encounter, The other teams met and defeated were St. Ambrose, Iowa XVe5leyan, State Teachers, Upper lowa, Ellsworth, Graceland, Still, Old Pals and the Attica Independents, the last four ht-ing non-conference teams. Besides giving keen competition in conference championship, Central also con- tended for individual honors. lsleyers, Central's dashing center, lcd the conference in individual scoring for a time, but towards the end he was surpassed, due in part, to the fact that Central played fewer games. Nevertheless, he succeeded in claiming tifth place. Furthermore Ccnt1'al's team ranked first in conference in regard to of- fensive playing and second in defensive playing.

Elect Forward Center be accredited as having deserved any special mention above the others, but rather the work of every player is worthy of special mention and commendation. Central's team consisted of five men each of whom did his share in winning the game. Cooperation and team work was the big feature of the year's games. The closing of the basketball season also terminated the basketball career of three of Central's athletes, viz: Neifert, Hoogevcen and Rowland. They have contributed much to Central's success in athletics during their four years in college. VVhether on the gridiron, basketball Hoof or baseball diamond these three men have always done their part. Not only in achievement were they outstanding but also in their high standard of playing. Clean, fair and sportsmanlike was always their aim and in that they have succeeded. With the return of the two regulars, Beyers and Tandy and the other members ol' the squad, who have already given a fine display of their ability in basketball, we can already predict another successful season for next year. Beyers has been elected captain and under his leadership we have no doubt that another winning team will again represent Central. Scores Central Attica, Ind.

HACKE Was born in Barnes, Kansas, and he was 1926 Bazfehzzl! HICN the baseball weather was on deck, Central had opportunity to show its pep and enthusiasm for the great national game. About the middle of March, conditioning started in the gymnasium. As soon as the puddles on the athletic field were dried up, the squad was transferred to the diamond. Central had hard luck in losing her captain and veteran hurler, Rex Rawley, when appendicitis struck him out during spring vaca- tion. But Richard Brouwer showed a marked class in pitching. His control and speed with the veteran catching skill of acting captain Pete Rowland, made up a battery that was deserving of the steadying support of the infield and outfield. The season opened at Mt. Pleasant, vs. Iowa 'vVesleyan. Our opponents' success with the stick. and our errors at critical moments resulted in a 12-6 score. Pete I-loogeveen's home run was the only feature of the game. Central started the home season by holding the long end of a score 7-6 vs. Des Moines. For five innings the invaders held the upperhand with a count of 6-5, with their only earned run a home run. In the ninth Butch Poor knocked out a two bagger and brought in the winning scores. In the return game at Des Moines, the Baptists got an early lead and won, 8-3. In the last home game we defeated Iowa NVesleyan, It was a tie nearly to the end, 0-0 in the seventh. In the first of the ninth, Irish Tandy hit a home run and Hoogeveen stole home for the winning tally. Brouwer allowed only four hits and in the last of the ninth, with their bases full, he held them with the goodiwork of his teammates. Thus the fastest and most exciting game, score Z-l, closed the season. such a naughty boy that his papa couZdn't handle him. For this reason his parents took him to Il country where nobody knew Jimmy and sent him to the 'rural school in Page 111 1926 TEHHZT N Campus Day, some Centralites were detailed to recondition our tennis courts. We put on a fresh' coat of gravel and repaired the wire netting. The season then started in earnest, for the daily schedule for the courts, which hangs in Jordan Hall, was generally filled in the morning before Chapel time. The rainy weather of the Fall of 1925 did not permit much racket sport, and it seemed that each Centralite was anxious to redeem lost time. All interested in intercollegiate tennis held a tourney to determine the rating of the players. Raymond De Haan, captain, arranged several meets. Steady practice from then on kept us all busy, for De Haan was the only letter C man in tennis. Of this he was well worthy, for in combination with Will Goulooze, a graduate of the class of '25, he had won second in the doubles in the Iowa Conference Annual Meet. This Spring we had Home and Return Meets with Des Moines University, Penn College and Graceland College. VVe saw many an exciting game and match in-'these intercollegiate contests. The only victory for this year was won by the De Haan brothers in the doubles against Des Moines U. on Central courts. Four men Won the Central C in tennis, namely, Raymond De Haan, Cornelius Vander Hart, Delwin De Haan and Paul Bruins. At a meeting of the letter men , Case Vander Hart was elected captain for the ensuing year. There was much stiff competition for Var-sity this year and next Spring we expect to better our Conference standing. Tennis was much more popular than it has been for many years for all of us, the courts generally being in use. This promises much for the future of this all around sport. The tournaments for the Beard Champion Medals produced many an exciting thriller for the fan-s. There were many prophecies as to the coming champions but both contests were won by Dark Horses. The two hardest matches in the Men's Tournament were played in the preliminary rounds, while Jean Kuyper, '29, triumphed rather easily in the finals. Ellamay Renkes, '28, won the Beard's Medal for the girls. This revived interest assures us of success in years to come. .
