' hiinriala CAREFUL comparison of this with preceding QIZACLES will show that there has been in the past few years a consistent shortening of the book and crowding of the pages. Fewer full-page cuts are found, and the pic- tures of the Seniors are smaller and less clear. Lack of money is the cause of these economies. This year the ORACLE is handicapped by the fact that there are in college scarcely one hundred and fifty fraternity men, while in normal years the number exceeds two hundred. lf the ORACLE is to be published and maintained even at its present standard, the number of fraternity men and women in Colby must increase as fast as the price of printing, engraving and binding. This pro- portionate increase has not been kept up in the past, and certainly cannot be looked for in the future, at least until the end of the 'VVar. The vanishing pointv is approaching. Try as we can not to be pessimistic, the outlook for an improve- ment in the QR-ACLE for the next few years is not bright. The plan now in prac- tice is remarkably well adapted for Colby. The management can reckon almost to a book how many must be published and what the income will be. This year we welcome to the ORACLE Association a new fraternity and a new sorority, Pi Delta Phi, and Phi Mu. The willing co-operation of these two new units in the publication of the ORACLE is a much needed help. Should not the ORACLE lay more stress upon its Literary Department? Dur- ing a year's work at Colby much line work is done in the English department, and this should have recognition. Ten and more years ago the ORACLE was a literary production of no mean merit, while two years ago the sole literary con- tributions were two articles by the same author, supposedly humorous, but breath- ing a sneering contempt for Colby and Colby people. Though it is impossible this year to publish all the articles presented, the ORACLE has tried to present a little of what Colby people are capable of produc- ing. Diligent search fails to reveal anything written by George Wfatson, '17, other than a class room criticism of a recent book. Mr. Wfatsonfs literary tastes were of the highest and we present this little bit as the only example of his work to be found. I0 COLBY ORACLE l 9 I 8 , HIS YEAR we beheld what seemed to us the opening of a new era of social life at Colby. The new custom adopted by the college authorities of hold- ing general college parties is a great success from the point of view of the student body. These good times afford the men and women an opportunity to make and enjoy the acquaintance of each other in an informal way impossible at formal social functions or smaller and more exclusive dances. The mingling of the students with the faculty is also a factor for better understanding and sympathy. Colby is almost unique in the naturalness of her democracy, and this is but another manifestation of it. The students appreciate the kindness of the college in giving these parties, and without fear of dispute the QRACL12 ventures to thank President Roberts and his associates. Colby has given her best to defend democracy against tyranny. VVhen war was declared last spring the whole college was turned upside down. Every able- bodied man asked himself a question, not Shall I enlist F but Shall I enlist or wait for the draft ? The question was quickly settled in the minds of many, and some of us have come to hate the old ten o'clock which has taken away from us so many, many of our dearest friends. Wle felt we could not bear to see them go, but we would have been ashamed to say a word in opposition. They are wearing the blue and the khaki now in every field of Uncle Sam's service, and in many a training camp, and some already are in France. We who returned to college found ourselves depleted in numbers, but re-en- forced by a fine group of Freshmen. XNe shall never forget that first chapel service of the year. VVhat President Roberts said that morning was enough to stir the soul of the coldest to devotion to Colby and to our country. Many have left us since last fall, and as this is written Colby can boast of but twenty-three Seniors in the men's division. W'ho knows how few it may be when these words are read? Colby has shown herself to be in hearty co-operation with the fuel administra- tion in saving coal. The Christmas vacation was lengthened at the expense of the Easter recess, and a new schedule has been introduced during the winter months to save coal in the early morning. The inconvenience is worth while when we realize that our saving is helping to beat the Kaiser. A Colby graduate of last year writes, Any man in college this year who does not improve every opportunity is a slackerf, Il 1 .' ,. 0-I a1 g.1.,.-.1...- ir, ' ' ' tp- - f- R x Lv, 3 , if l i -.:,,f...: , .

He came to college a misogynist with many precon- ceived ideas, but they soon went where such ideas usu- ally go and he was so thoroughly converted that the long and short of it is the most frequent advertisement of Colbyls matrimonial bureau. In fact he is the most consistent and thorogoing exponent of the art of fuss- ing that Colby has ever seen, and his degree should be B.F. instead of B.A. Paul ought to stand a good chance of getting into heaven as he has crossed the Jordan so early in life.

When Boardy was a Freshman he was what might be called a model boy, but he soon learned new habits and became real reckless. We thought the climax was reached when he learned to play pool, but such was not the case, as he was heard one night quoting some of Hoy1e's rules. He is a good student and a beautiful actress, but as far as we know he is innocent of having any relations with the feminine sex.

Vlfhat y little they dared to do to us was poorly done, and we succeeded in hold- ing our Freshman banquet in peace, protected by the arm of the law.

W' e have adhered to the traditions of our Alma Mater with- a true spirit of love and patriotism and we have yelled our- selves hoarse at the football and baseball games. During our stage of verdancy, we cheerfully accepted the mandates of Phi Chi, not, however, without some slight misgivings that we were being treated somewhat unjustly. This feeling soon passed, however, and the end of our Freshman year found us complacently viewing the numerals of 1919 on the gym and wondering why we were not allowed to run the college. As Sophomores, with painstaking care and our ever-present hatred of innocu- ous desuetude, we at once proceeded to awaken the Freshmen from their torpid lethargy and to instil into their puerile minds a sense of propriety and duty. In this, as in all our other ventures, we were as successful as any highly trained organization could be when forced to labor with raw, crude material. On the gridiron and the diamond we have proved ourselves worthy of the name of our Alma lllatcr and we rest content in the knowledge that as Hf6771j7llS fugit et afzzutatf' our true worth will be realized and appreciated. XV e have lost quite a number of our members who have answered the call of Qld Glory, but as we proceed along the last stretch of our collegiate journey with depleted ranks, may the banner of IQIQ ever wave on high! 38 OUITJCJLD E702 I 91 8 COLBY ORACLE Qllaaa nf 19211 P1'r2.vlflerz!, COLBY B.

QSic, Editozaj Peace and tranquility are the two conditions for which we have striven, and we are determined they shall exist in this college it we have to fight through our whole course to bring them about. VVe are making our patriotic motto, Do Well what you are doing. , Short tears us, so why should we worry about the K'Povvers that be. Jim Pray at the Silver has learned not to bother us when We applaud or mock his maidens beautiful who often bedeck his well-worn stage. VVhy should he? Look who We are!! 1920 ! !! Even the traffic cops of NVaterville know each and every one of us to speak to. And now in the realm of sophomoric dignity our bright record shines resplendent, as a beacon light to future generations. Our social relations have been so acceptable during the past year that the Faculty, with the approval ot Foss Hall, rise up and call us blessed. 42 A ,, - 5 J X , P Q2 .ia 6,1 fieg ff f fy - 'fu'-sn' f Ajlf, uf Q ,, , ,gg f. , f ,Lf -.Hn , f ,f - L 1 D pf I I ff t 1 .LQ I , 'SX Alfxk 4 V 'Al ai 'b xf N? gf N ,rs L ,gif x ta p lj ' - --H ' Q' A if ' 'W' f H av :w2SL ':i' 5' f' ' g 4-f 3 'A ' 'VX 652 'A' 'fx f-. - - 1 .Ver 1 W i n ' sw b y Q A .4 J r -S. -.5 5- F ,fp ,F 9 ,,- nv -' 559 .Swv 4 -X , ' - :,. -'wp-g K - 1 ' ,.. 1-I Pnhw. :ffl-F .ff ' ff Y' F21 - ff 3 5 43316 ' , we , 7 ' K Elvsefguf-1:12tggisppqfpgfnn 'nm ga, . lf, , x .

After tolerating their selfish pride and pompous ways for a few days, we celebrated Bloody Monday. Then they became acquainted with Phi Chi and learned what was to be expected of them as real Colby men. Truly, it was a hard lesson, but the results were very satisfactory. Their class history contains many failures to follow old Colby traditions which are held so highly. The reason for this is not known, except that they pre- ferred to plug along in their own innocent ways. They did not hold the annual banquet or play the baseball game with the Sophomores, and likewise the grape rush was forgotten. They have been a quiet class and have yet to win their Hrst laurel, but they are satisfied. They can boast of having been spanked less than any other class in the history of the college. This fact is due to two reasons: their modesty and our slowness. However, as a Sophomore, the author hopes that they will present a strong and rugged front to all enemies. Wle wish them to be true and loyal Colby men. May Colby be benefited by their presence, and they by her nurture! SPECIAL AND UNCLASSIFIED Cecil Leonard Berdeen Ralph Edward Blackstone Charles G.

First of all. she is an artist as this book can prove. W'hat we shall do for posters and favors after she graduates, none of us can tell. She was the first house chairman under Student Government and for a time was dignity personified. All of us were glad when the spell was broken and she could laugh as she used to. lt seems strange that Norma's favorite color should be brown, for she is as full of fun as anyone.

Ah, but that history is just in the making. During our hrst year we were, I imagine, very much like every other entering class, very enthusiastic and very eager to fill our place in the Colby world, but a little confused by the newness of it all, and bewildered by the many activities that seemed to claim our interest. But especially were we proud !-proud of our class, her colors, her banner, her basketball team, and her members, collectively and individually-and our Alma Mater. My, weren't we proud of Colby? It doesn't seem that ever in our lives will there come a feeling of such supreme pride as we experienced on a certain moon-lit, snowy evening in the fall of our Freshman year when we watched our Colby brethren very eflflciently perform the time-honored snake dance under the glare of torches and the noisy confusion of shouts and cheers. In this, our Senior year, we are just realizing the opportunities and privileges that Colby is giving us. Four years of pleasant comradeship in Foss I-Iall, four years of interesting work in our classes, and four years of helpful association with our professors and classmates-when shall we find another four years to equal these ? Ah, yes, the history of 1918 is just in the making. It is not for us to tell of the things we have achieved and the honors we have won, but rather it is for us to prove that the things we want to achieve and the honors we hope to win will be worthy of Colby--our Alma Mater. 66 IE Y gig , WW lu 5.1-C-L.2..a.

FULLY realize that self-praise is worse than no praise at all, but lest we should seem inferior to our predecessors we must relate some of the achievements of 1920. ' In the fall of 1916 a band of timid Freshmen, forty or more strong, entered the walls of old Colby. Wfarmly welcomed, we were sheltered from all harm for the hrst week. Soon, however, Phi Chi sounded and her commands had to be obeyed. Bloody Monday with all its proverbial terror came, but we quite enjoyed the occasion and fairly brought dismay to the hearts of 1919 when we refused to sing their praises. To wear those high green hats was enjoyable, and how wretched the Sophomores became when they found that they were so becom- ing. Sophomore rules were on for some time, but we cannot say that they were enforced very capably, for we can recall very easily several instances of clever escapes. Did we have a banquet? Wfell, I guess we did. How unsuspecting those Sophomores were when we sauntered leisurely out of Foss Hall in small groups. We cleverly escaped their vigilant eyes and arrived at Union Hall in Augusta without being captured. Wfe banqueted to our hearts' content along with some of our junior friends, while the Sophomores were obliged to rely upon their own Q ?j resources for eats But the heights of our joy were reached when Colby Day came, which proved so glorious for us and so fateful for 1919. Cn that day amid the ringing cheers of our junior friends and our own little band and stimulated by the sight of that banner, our basketball team won from the Sophomores with a score of 30 to 5. How old Foss Hall did ring with the notes of Phi Chi, a swelling from the throats of proud Freshmen. ' A number of good things happened to Colby during our first year. Colby captured the football championship, a Student Government was launched and the Literary Society was organized. NN e returned for our Sophomore year with our numbers somewhat dimin- ished. New cares and difficulties awaited us and we were confronted by the wearisome task of training sixty Freshmen for Colby's ranks. Such fresh recruits were never found before. Wfe were delightfully entertained on l'Bloody Mondayl' by their songs and dances and even the juniors were unable to protect them, We had cause to rejoice when we heard their baby voices cheering 1920. They are beginning now to realize their inferiority, and instead of being bluster- ing and boastful they are beginning to show some modest and retiring traits. Wfe surely hope that our labor has not been in vain. Thus we bring to a close those first two years of our college course, regret- ting that they are gone but guided by them as an incentive, we hope to press on through the years to come, making them as active and useful as possible. 74 Win! wV WflIllllHlHHM1mm0nWllllllW' W AJ.

No slackers we, the Freshmen cried, XNe will give up our fun, VVe'll put our banquet plans aside, There's work that must be done. 78 how 1. -g f' 1 - .3 -if-4 K gl A gfyzf-' W K. ,f 6' ' Z ,1 J .ffj Z f, , 'gf'- fff Q W- X -Q ..49e.: ,5 ,f 'LL-Az.. , - 1 - b- 2 2- ,f4Zf?'

Its constitution, modelled rather closely on that of the Mount Holyoke College League, was accepted by the stu- dents of the woman's division February 12, 1917. A Grant of Powers was asked of the President and the Faculty, and was given. Among the powers given to the students were the maintenance of quiet in college buildings, the making and enforcement of all regulations governing the conduct of students in certain non- academic matters, and the supervision of absences from college. The purpose of the League is to enact and enforce laws in accordance with the Grant of Powers, to promote the spirit of mutual helpfulness, service, and personal responsibility among the students, and to strengthen their loyalty to the Cdlege- fI9Hic21:5 lNlARION L STARBIRD, '18 Presidentzz' P11YLL1s R.

L. Bryant, II7, advocated strongly the formation of some kind of military organization among the students. The Editor of the Echo, E. Donald Record, '17, had previously urged much the same idea. On VVednesday afternoon, April 4, at a meeting held in the college chapel, the Colby Company was finally organized. Stirring speeches were made by President Roberts, Lieutenant Rogers and others. At this meeting Lieutenant Rogers, ,I7, was appointed Drill-Master. On Thursday afternoon, April 5, at four o'clock P.M., the first drill was held in the gymnasium. Wfithin a week after its organization between 75 and 1oo men had enlisted. Among this number there were several members of the Faculty. As soon as the company was formed, judge Leslie C. Cornish, ,75, President of the Board of Trustees, extended to the organization the support of the alumni and presented the company with a suitable tlag. On Monday, April 30, the Company elected its eflicers as follows: Captain, R. Miranda, '1o: First Lieutenant, Hugh S. Pratt. 117, Second Lieutenant, Elliot F. Buse. 720. All these men had had considerable military training. Lieu- tenant Rogers was called to Bath, Maine, for guard duty with his company and was obliged to tender his resignation as Drill-Master. In his place Frederick D. McAlary, former Lieutenant in Company H, was appointed. On Tuesday, May 8, the Company took part in the patriotic demonstration held at Augusta. A great deal of favorable comment was made by the press on the appearance of the Company. On Monday afternoon, May 14, a mass-meeting was held in the gymnasium to discuss the work of the Company. The ofhcers delivered stirring speeches and as a result a number of new recruits offered their services. Lieutenant Pratt was appointed to the Plattsburg camp and submitted his resignation as First Lieuten- ant Second Lieutenant Buse was promoted to his office and Robert A. Mathews, '19, was elected to the position left vacant by Buse. Two weeks later sergeants and corporals were appointed. Qu the afternoon of Friday, june 1, the hnal review of the Company took place. 159 I 9 I 8 COLBY ORACLE Glnlhg Zlnter-Illraternitg Elumling illeaguz Alpha Tau Omega Omicron Theta Zeta Psi Delta Upsilou Records: Single string, STANDING XMO11 Lost P.

The bright sparks from the flames leaped cheerily up the black soot of the chimney, and chased each other rapidly from sight. Outside the snow was packed against the window, and it was cold and dark. Gradually the fire burned lower, but the knitting needles worked none the less energetically. Her husband's deeper, more regular breathing warned Mrs. Blake that bed-time was approaching, so carefully reaching across the space of the intervening study table, she tapped his newspaper gently with her needle. Fred, she said, softly, Fred, itis time to put the cats to bed. How?'l came the half awakened ruffled response. 'iYes, dear, it is. Come, herels Blackie right here on the hearth. Evidently this bit of information was worthy of note, for the sleepy man hastily adjusted his glasses, slipped his heels more lirmly down into his slippers and, with an energetic push, rose from the depths of his chair. Wfith agility unexpected from so stout a personghe made a deft, low sweep of his arm and caught the black cat in his firm grasp. Smiling tri- umphantly, he handed her over to Mrs. Blake, saying, You hold her, Sophie, while I find Queenie. Don't let her go. Wfith this parting admonition Mr. Blake stepped from the room. Presently a real persuasive voice was heard proceeding from the kitchen: Here, kitty kitty, kitty, Queenie, come Queenief' Then came a thud, thud, thud as of a falling broomstick, followed by a hurrying, scurrying swish as of an escaping cat. Again that enticing voice sounded, but this time a slightly exasperated note could be distinguished, Aw, come now, kitty, kitty, kitty. Here Queenie-Sophie, what ails this cat? She wonlt let me catch her at all. VVell, well, Fred, try again. Y'ou'll soon catch her was the encouraging answer. Mrs. Blake was right, for at length when the gentle gift of persuasion had given way to the more forceful art of snatching, pussy was stopped in a last frantic 'dash for freedom by a hand clasped tightly around her tail. lNith the light of victory radiating from his sunny countenance Mr. Blake returned to the living room with his struggling captive under his arm. Now give me Blackie, he said, and when the delivery of the latter had been safely accomplished he smiled at Mrs. Blake who was still sitting composedly knit- ting, and started barnward with the household pets. DOROTI-LY I. ROBERTS, '18. 176 COLBY ORACLE I 91 8 wutnhlanh 21121: Allen CI11'l1JC1'SO112t'ElO1'l of a German Spy in the Lumber Camps of Mainej Darkness is settling about me. I listen! In the distance a medley of voices announces that the crew of the lVIerrill Lumber Company has added another day's work to its winterls operation. May it be their last! From down the tote road I hear the tinkle, tinkle, of the teams hurrying campward from their last day's trip to the landing. VVhat shall I do? The Emperor's business requires haste and every moment of delay may be dangerous to my mission, but policy bids me remain in conceal- ment. One team, two teams, three, four, hve, six teams pass-the teamsters singing, laughing, or chatting merrily. One lusty voice is singing INhere Do We Go From I-Iere F as it in unconscious derision. Yes, they are happy, but- they are Americans! And those lips must be silenced, those hands must be made useless, if I would do my part for my Fatherland. My time for action has come. But one straggling team now follows some distance in the rear. I venture from my hiding place behind the trunk of an upturned tree fthank God for my providential shelterij. and make my way to the road leading to the camp. . I German I may be but no one must know it. If I am mistrusted tor a single moment, my mission will fail. The right must win. But though my whole being breathes out threatenings and slaughter, I must adopt the wolf in sheep's clothing policy. The moon has arisen and is shining upon me in benediction. In its light I survey my attire. No one can suspect me to be a lieutenant in the Imperial German Reserve. My holev leggins, ripped moccasins, patched pants, and mackinaw, much the worse for wear, will surely brand me as a typical tramp. The team behind me is gaining rapidly and will soon overtake me. In the short interval I must become a soldier again. VVith true military dignity I draw myself up to full stature, and with my right hand upon the little Hag pinned to my breast, pledge once more allegiance to my Emperor. Then. breathing a prayer for protection and success, I assume again the posture ot a tramp, and step aside for the team to pass. Could ye give me a ride, sir F I asked. Jump right on, said the burly teamster surveying me critically, S'pose you're strikin' for camp. Yes sir, Ilm hungry and lookin' for a jobf, I guess you're aimed tor the right spot, said the teamster, chances are top notch for a job if you're any good. IVe,ll soon see the old skylight and as for something to eat, bossls wife can cook beans that would make your mouth water a mile away. 177 l 9 l 8 COLBY ORACLE A slap with the reins sends the horses into a trot and we ride for a time in silence. I-Iow fortunate for me that this man cannot read my thoughts! This has been a tough day, the stranger suddenly ejaculates, somewhat disturbing my deliberations. I broke a chain the first send-off this morning and ditched my load. Then old Molly the off mare, cut herself pretty bad and it's going to take a good bit of the evening to fix her up. Sometimes I think it's hardly worth while to live such a cat and dog life, but then when a fellow's got a home-wife and children-he'll go through a lot of tough places. To this I grunt assent and lapse again into silence. Surely one cannot refrain from admiring the specimen of manhood by my side. He is living for his family and his struggles are for what he conceives to be the best things in life. But nevertheless he is an American-the enemy of my fatherland. I-Iis every day's work is helping to defeat my loved ones and clothe them with disgrace. Shall I be swerved from the plain path of duty? Never! There is but one thing for me to do as a lieutenant in disguise. He must die! But I must not give life for life. To be rash is to be unwise. ' 1' I complete my plan of action and await developments. I am not going over the top, with steel helmet and bayonet, but thousands of miles from the trenches I can be a link in the great chain that will one day fetter the world. I am not dealing with a crowd of men armed to the teeth. Indeed, they are wholly unsus- pecting of any evil foreboding. But I am here on duty and live or die, survive or perish, my hand must be raised against them to smite them. Swinging about a bend in the road, I see the skvlight but a few rods distant. with the outline of the camp plainly visible in the moonlight. Now is my time of testing! There is now no such word as fail I must be as wise and deadlv as a serpent. The boss's wife responds to a knock on the kitchen door. Is the boss in?,' I ask with apparent innocence. I'll see, she replies pleasantlyg come right in and be washing for supper. Leaving the steaming beans on the stove, she goes out to speak to her husband. With a swift. though careful, glance about the room. I survev mv field of action. At the table, apparently absorbed in her story book, is a little girl. This is my chance. Hastily washing, I step to the towel where only an arm's reach away is the pot of juicy beans. Heaven is surely favoring me. I-Iurriedly I reach into my pocket for the secret paper and empty its contents into the pot. I continue wiping and pass out into the men's apartment to a Deacon seat. Thus far my plan has been perfectly successful. The crew is eyeing me curiously, but they are accustomed to transients, and I am certain they do not suspect me. It is unthinkable that a little girl absorbed in a book can possibly convey information of my deed. The proper time will inevitably reveal the ghastly harvest. Thinking it best to bury myself from the crew until the supper gong sounds, I make my way out into the night. In the general confusion my departure seems apparently unnoticed. 178 COLBY GRACLE I 91 8 Through the moonlight I see the boss and his wife talking anxiously together. I listen, but no conversation is audible. My heart sinks within me for a moment. Is it possible that they mistrust my motive? Nonsense! I-Iow foolish to think that such a sleight-of-hand performance should be noticed. and that by a little girl. The fellows are talking over the day's experiences, joking and making merry. I take a hasty look out over the hillside toward the thick, black growth before me. Then, with face upturned to I-Ieaven I thank God for his help and ask him to make bare I-Iis arm to slay this camp full of men-my enemies. VVith my prayer hardly finished, a change seems to come over the inside of the camp. Voices are hushed and I hear them whispering together. VV hat can it mean? Perhaps they are accustomed to quiet down before the call to supper. Dong! Dong! goes the supper bell and slipping back into the camp I join myself with the crew. ' At the end of the table sits the boss with an empty seat beside him. f'Right around here. the boss calls out and every eye in the room is hxed upon me! Pass the bean dish this way and we will start things moving, said the boss to the teamster with whom I rode in. All too quickly the boss's wife's beans are steaming uncomfortably near my nose. A glance down the table shows that some have them on their plates but not a man has touched them. What shall I do? VV ith as much politeness as I can muster I decline with the excuse that I never eat beans g they always hurt me. But this excuse falls flat, though I cannot understand why. Something tells me that every eye is again fixed on me. Policy bids me not to lift my eyes, and with apparent unconcern I continue to spread my bread. A shuffle at the end of the table arouses my curiosity and looking up I stare into the barrel of a revolver. Sir, this time the Boss's voice is stern, if you do not eat a plate of those beans, I will fill your bean with lead. My time for action has come again. Shall I take a chance? I surely am between the devil and the deep sea. Perhaps my plate may come from the bottom of the dish, and then, again, my powder may possibly have been made powerless by exposure. If so, I maylsave my life and still accomplish my result. It is worth a try, anyway. I nod assent. Fill up his plate, shouts the boss. The atmosphere in the room is tense. If death be my portion. I have done my duty. Death may come as well one way as another. I lift my fork to take of the portion- A devil is among us! A German flag covers his breast! Some one calls out as he bends over him. Those words rouse him to consciousness. A devil! A German Flag! What does it all mean? I have been caught in the act! I have been outwitted!

GEORGE GLENWOOD NVATSON. 181 I 91 8 COLBY ORACLE ilHai1n in 2-Xmeriran America is like a happy-go-lucky boy 5 she never does today what she can do tomorrow, for she believes if she puts off doing things long enough they will be done for her. Like Toni Sawyer and the whitewashing of the fence, when in the eleventh hour she does get around to doing her task, she does it better and differ- ently from anybody else-in the American way. One of the greatest effects of the war on America is that she is forced to do things for herself. America is young in the great family of nations and, as is true in most large families, the youngest does not know how to do things for herself because the older brothers and sisters have always done them for her. But America now has been thrown on her own resources and, altho she tottered some- what at first, with every new step she is gaining self-confidence and in a short time she will not only be self-supporting but also be lending a helping hand to her poor old war-worn brothers and sisters. Among the greatest of America's new enterprises is toy-making. Wars may come and wars may go, but children will play on forever. The play instinct is born in the young of all ages and science and invention can be traced by the evolu- tion of the plaything as well as by the evolution of the stage-coach and other means of transportation. Dolls talk and walk, kittens mew and cows made out of real cow-hide, moo. NVinchendon, Massachusetts, is the cradle of America's infant toy-making industry. In this small Massachusetts town not only the same old toys are made and improved on, but new ideas are being turned out of the shops every day. UML Noah has lost his Teutonic look, his live stock their old-time air of stu- pidity and the answer is that Noah, his family, flock and abode are all 'Made in America' now. Noah never should have had a German appearance for he was a cosmopolite, a citizen of the world, Germany is fighting to conquer the world and America is fighting for the freedom of the world, so' Noah has only come into his own-American naturalization. The members of the doll family no longer have that terrible birthmark on the back of their necks- Made in Germany. These ladies and gentlemen have not travelled quite so much as their predecessors, but their 'sweet and lasting smiles give testimony to the belief that where ignorance is bliss 'tis folly to be wise. However, American dolls can converse as volubly on as great a number of subjects as their German ancestors. Their physical conditions, too, should be a source of great satisfaction to their family physicians. Their arms, now, are a part of their bodies instead of an after-thought and their eyes do not fall back into their heads at the slightest shock. The doll family are active in Red Cross work and military training-they are being educated in America. ' American initiative, however, does not stop at making the old toys better than they were ever made before-it goes a step further and invents new and unheard- of delights. Huge quantities of tool chests are turned out for embryonic Fords 182 COLBY ORACLE I 9 I 8 and Edisons. Seven freight carloads of these chests are the average daily output of the three toy factories in Wincheiidon. Everything which interests the big boys and girls of America is made in far simile for the little ones,-from the hoe and the carpet-sweeper to the automobile and the flying-machine. W'onderful skyscrapers are constructed out of a hopeless mass of wire sections by the future architects of America, while tomorrow's kings of transportation and communica- tion labor tirelessly overltheirbiplanes and wireless equipment. The Indian and the cow-boy suits have lost their fascination. The bow and arrow and stone sling have passed and now the king of boydom struts to the ren- dezvous dressed in a boy scout suit, a knapsack strapped to his back and an Amer- ican rifle over his shoulder-young manhood made in America. M. L. D., '19, 01112 East 0112155 It was my last recitation as a student of Colby College. Late Thursday afternoon I was in my Latin class reviewing the semester's work. There were only a few in the class for not many students follow up that course nowadays. Only a few girls, some of whom have been there all four years, and my chum, who has been beside me since that first class when we entered, the old professor, noble with the golden experience of fifty years, the very personification of the Roman ideal, reserved and courteous, these were all. The sun had just set and left the horizon over the trees glowing with a rose tint like the inside of a tropical sea-shell. Already it was growing dark in the room, for the lights had not been turned on, and as we read a half pathetic poem of Tiballus, a quiet glow of sentiment stole over me,-a kind of feeling that only the hush of a beautiful sunset even can produce,-and I mused. The last class,-one week, busy with examinations and preparations for departure, and college for me would be over. A happy period, it had been, full of pleasant memories. How fitting that the last class should fall to the period of my favorite study, that the quiet dignity of a professor so highly revered, should be my parting impression. I felt a longing that my life might attain to any degree of the culture of that one, and my mind might live in worlds of final esthetic enjoyment. Gazing out the window, in inattention to class work, my eye fixed itself on a distant beacon. At the very horizon barely surmounting the vista of tree-tops, a Hag was flying, spread wide in the sunset breeze. Wfas this not an emblem? From the quiet ease of classroom, was not the flag calling to service? Not for the young men of America to-day, is the life of esthetic seclusion. It is a time for vigorous action. The flag of the nation calls for defenders and it is our glorious privilege to follow. In hundreds of classrooms thousands of men are laying aside book and pen to go out and serve. To serve,-to die if need be, and gladly the are doing it, Y P D H. o. ia., ws. 183 l 9 I 8 COLBY ORACLE 3 iltluhmzn ltltnpia I was sitting at my desk one evening just before an exam, trying to cram enough of Im Zwielichtu into my head to last me through the next day. I was trying in vain to remember whether ein Kanzu was eine grosse Rule or eine kleine Eule and had almost decided to look it up in the dictionary, when suddenly I was startled by a great commotion on the top floor. There was a sound as of great rejoicing. I recollected that a meeting of the student body had been called immediately after dinner, but I had been too busy to attend. The noise grew more deafening, and girls began to come down the stairs. all talking at once. My room-mate rushed into the room, all out of breath, but by the expression on her face I knew she had remarkable news to tell. As soon as she could speak she began, gaining momentum as she went on,- Ch, why didn't you go to the meeting? The most wonderful things! They have found a new will of Mr. Colby's-you know, the founder of Colby College-and he has left ten million dollars to the INomen's Division, provided that all changes are made, according to his wishes!

I awoke with a start, as my German dictionary tumbled to the floor. M. C. T., tio. Gbmz igiann There is no musical instrument more abused than the piano in the living room of my fraternity house. VVe hear much about atrocities in this present age, but who ever thinks of applying such a term to the treatment accorded our piano? Still, from morning to night some one is thumping at it, vainly striving to produce harmony, or viciously attempting to tear the ivory from the keys. These are not the only abuses which have been heaped upon our piano. It must grind out anything from popular songs, such as Poor Butterfly, to some of Beethoven's masterpieces. I have often thought of the surprise that our old dilap- idated music-box must receive, when, after laboring for hours on popular selections, it suddenly finds that someone is trying to play classical music, and yet it is equal to the task, that is, if one is not particular about harmony. In the evening we crowd around our old friend and with voices ranging from ultra bass to extreme tenor, we attempt to sing our college songs, keeping as far 184 COLBY ORACLE l 91 8 from the pitch as possible without incurring the wrath of our fellow-sufferers. But the piano labors bravely on amidst the encircling din. There comes a time, however, when, like mortals, our piano reaches the limit of its endurance. A key begins to stick or the ivory has been torn from some of them, and the tune is beyond the power of expression. Vfe decide that it needs a little attention and send for the piano tuner. Then a day for recuperation is set apart. By evening, however. our old friend is ready for business again, and the punishment begins anew. So it goes on, year in and year out, until one day the piano is beyond repair and a new one must take its place. H. T. U., '2o. 911152. Zlluunh in a Buttle ffilfzfei' Pocj There is little that I can say of myself and doubtless that little is better left unsaid. Sufhce it therefore, that once I was a member of an ancient and much revered family and lived in ease and luxury, receiving such education from a leading university as I chose to avail myself of, but family, discord and petty quarrels early sent me into the world to seek my own fortune. After many years of knocking about the globe I found myself in the year IQI4 in Paris, where I maintained a suite of rooms and pursued my studies in ancient and medieval literature, when every other pastime failed. I was a happy- go-lucky fellow, forgetting the past and caring not a whit for the future. And of course when the war came I enlisted, choosing the navy. For several months I was sent hither and yon in drill, but was at last assigned to a large man-of-war. Early in the month of june, 1916, she steamed out from B-. For forty-eight hours we rolled along on a smooth sea, meeting nothing troublesome. Standing at the gunwale on the evening of the second day, I looked off over the gray expanse of waters and found it hard to realize that war was a reality. A new moon was slowly dipping toward the sea off to the westward, here and there stars twinkled out of the inky blackness of the sky while low over the water hung a thin white veil of mist as filmy and elusive as a lady's scarf. In fact, the night was too perfect, and the silence too pronounced. It was oppressive, it was foreboding, and when the order came to turn in it was with reluctance that I obeyed. I slept ntfully and about midnight was tossing restlessly in my ham- mock, vvhen the cry of submarine I rang out from the watch. Instantly every man was on deck and we felt the shock of the shells striking OL11' sides, amidships. Qui' vessel lunged, turned on her side and plowed along a few lengths, righted herself a second time and then, quivering, settled back as though resigned to her fate. In the meanwhile, all was hubbub and confusion on board. Men were rushing here and there in a desperate scramble for life-belts: that wild, horror-stricken look upon their faces that men wear only when they face inevitable death. After a hasty glance about me, I decided to take my chances on swimming until some craft might pick me up rather than to go down with the poor, shattered ship and that wild mob. So looking carefully to the fastenings of my life belt, I leaped overboard and struck out in a westward direction as nearly as l could deter- mine. 185 l 91 8 COLBY ORACLE I had been a champion swimmer in my university days and I soon realized that this training was to stand me in a good stead now. For several hours-or so it seemed to me-I swam slowly, letting myself float when I became too exhausted to paddle. The mist that'I had noticed in the evening had now developed into such a thick, gray fog that I could see in no direction more than a few feet. Wliat course I was pursuing or whither it would take me I had no way of knowing. just as I was beginning to wonder how much longer I would stay afloat, a huge shape loomed up before me-long, and low, and black. Be it friend or foe, I knew not. I shouted loudly for help but received no reply. The vessel seemed to be merely drifting. Swimming up alongside I grasped a rope which hung limply over her side, and started to climb aboard. All was strangely silent and I wondered where the watch might be. Being wearied with my long swim, I climbed slowly and had only raised myself a few feet from the water when I was startled to find myself face to face with a huge death's head painted in livid white upon the dull black hull of the vessel. I say I was startled, yet I was not altogether surprised. My first impres- sion of this strange ship had been one of mystery and now every moment that impression was being confirmed. I climbed over the railing and slipped noiselessly on deck. Again my sus- picions as to the type of vessel proved true. It was very evidently a submarine, only much larger than any I had ever seen. Crouching there among the pile of ropes where I had dropped, I peered cautiously about me. Two men in marine suits were bending over some chains a few paces down the deck, but they seemed not to have seen or heard me. Other men were stalking slowly about here and there, each seemingly bent upon some task of his own. Qne passed me almost within reach of my hand, yet he saw me not. And then I realized that they spoke not a word to one another. All was a deathly, penetrating silence, not a sound on board save the creaking and rattle of the heavy iron chains and the wash of the waves. After watching proceedings for some time I decided to venture out and see what sort of reception I should be granted. I need not have troubled myself about hiding. No one appeared to see me or to pay the slightest attention to my move- ments. I sauntered up and down the decks inspecting my strange craft, yet no one questioned my presence. it SF ff it I have been below and there I found the materials with which I have written and shall write. I have a foreboding that I shall not be permitted to tell the whole of my strange adventures, unless by my pen. I have secured a bottle in which I shall from time to time enclose these messages to be cast into the sea at whatever time I may feel that the end is coming. The interior of the vessel is as strange as its exterior. I wandered about inspecting the engine and torpedo room and visited the captain's conning tower. This is a tiny room, fitted up with many maps and strange charts and piled high with books. Above the table hangs a human skull. A huge, iron-bound volume lies on the table, but it was closed with -a ponderous clasp. I intend to get a look inside that book soon, however. if if if at Y 186 COLBY ORACLE I 91 8 I have been below again. This time the iron-bound book was open and the captain Qor I suppose it was he, these fellows all look alike in their suits and one cannot see their facesb was sitting before it writing slowly with a long stick-or such it appeared to be at first sight. I peered over his shoulder and was startled to see that in the darkness the Words stood out with a weird, effervescent glow. Then I noticed that the peculiar stick with which he was writing was a long splin- ter of bone tipped with phosphorus. As I bent closer to read the words the captain rose and stalked away. I-Iastily I turned to the front of the book and read in bold letters these words: Der Appell des Kaisersn which if I remembered correctly, means The Kaiserls Roll-call. And below were written the names of vessels and their crews and the passengers who have been destroyed by German torpedoes since this war began. I turned the pages and scanned them closely, that was all-just name after name. I turned to the back and found the name of my own vessel and her crew-all but my own name. My God! I wonder how soon that will be written there, too! PS4 P21 Ili bk if is if is Pk its bk 2? if 24 Pk if The fog is lifting now. I feel that the end is near. The ropes and parapher- nalia which have been lying scattered about the deck are being taken below, and the men are all disappearing, too. I-Iorror upon horror! They have closed the hatches! And I left my life belt below! The boat is sinking! I feel her quiver! And I am left to perish! The water is already washing the deck! Perhaps even now my name is being written in the Iiaisei-'S book! The water has reached my knees-I am lost!! i Doius P. ANDREWS. Elm linmn a Munn man mlien 131111 Sven Mint Wfilliam james, who was in many ways a very wise man, says that the value of college breeding is to enable us to know a good man when we see him. It is an inspiring idea-correct evolutions of men! Certainly this is fundamental knowl- edge, for do we not have to live among men-men of all kinds-and not angels? But in college we are merely given the impulses, or have our original impulses strengthened, toward that end. The power in its fullness is not gained in college. That requires a lifetime. The college man has an appreciable start over other men, but the ability of knowing good men when he sees them may or may not accrue to him. Frederic Harrison thinks that much of this power comes from books. To be sure, one derivesua great deal from association-association in college with fra- ternity-mates, with the students as a body, and with the members of the faculty. Yet associations are the privilege of non-college men, too-perhaps to an equal degree with college men. 187 I 91 8 COLBY ORACLE Hence books must be the main advantage to which college men can lay claim. Our associates are not wiser than books. From them we learn what is wise and true and of good report. The true books are not easier to find than the true men. The bad books or the vulgar books are not less obtrusive and not less ubiquitous than the bad or vulgar men are everywhere. lt is as valuable to have a friend suggest right books as it is to have a friend help us to see what associates will help us and what hinder. The art of right reading is as long and difficult to learn as the art of right living. But it is largely through the direction and impetus that college men receive in right reading that they advance more rapidly in the art of right living,-which is both being and knowing good men. G. B. F. Ergan at Glulhg Bryan is all right! some one exclaimed over my shoulder as we swung down the chapel steps. lYith amazement l viewed the speaker-a standpatter of the G. Q. P. and the son of a standpatter,-and pondered for the cause of this sudden outburst. Colby had welcomed Bryan and Bryan had left a profound impression upon the college, yet there was something extraordinary about the visit. lkfas it that for three successive presidential campaigns he had aspired to the Wlhite House? Wlas it due in part to the statement broadcast today that without Bryan we would not have had VVilson? Wlould not the fact that he has always featured as an American statesman merit him a ready hearing? Undoubtedly all these con- tributed their part to the factors that interested his college audience. But there was something about a personal contact with the man that called forth great admiration and wonder. Did we not see before our eyes the accom- plishment of a paradox? Cn the platform stood the silver-tongued orator of America, speaking on the subject of oratory. Yet so successful was he in embody- ing his message that the messenger was forgotten. In self-forgetfulness he had exalted himself. Then too, there faced us a man of conviction. Wfe did not need to call to mind that this man had defied the Cabinet and President of the United States- that he had risked his reputation at the hands of the American people for the sake of satisfying a conscience-gripping conviction. A personal contact convinced us that this man bore in his character the quality of absolute sincerity. There was another extraordinary cause for wonder about this visit. The Bryan of today could not be called a has been. Why should not a man of such statesmanship and ability be taking an active part in such an hour of national crisis? Wlas Bryan's mouth stopped that he should be removed from any present day discussion? T said a personal contact aroused mingled admiration and won- der. Wle admired the marvelous powers and possibilities of this man to sway, to influence, to mold the ideals of the American peopleg we wondered if he were rendering a maximum service when the powers of each man should be taxed to the utmost. lfVith optimistic hopes for the future we voice the sentiments of the stand- patter, Bryan is all right.

Short, what do you mean by stealing a poor old lady's wood. That's all she has to keep her warm. Now look here, Short, I have to furnish brains for nearly live hundred students, besides the faculty, but when it comes to furnishing brains for the janitor, I balk out.

I have a dramatic club all 1T1y own, that is, it's Eoardyls and mine. Boardy is a nice boy, too. The matter is, my actors are too stuck on themselves to do any work. IN'hat ought I to do, paddle them or kick them out? Anxiously, Raymond Pl. You ask us a hard question, Raymond, you better try one and then the other. Dear Editor: The boys are very unkind to 1ne. They often kid me about my theoretical knowledge., Don't you think they are mean? Wfhat shall I do? I couldn't be practical if I wanted to anyway. Also I get my feet tangled up in my suspenders when I try to dance. Can you suggest any remedy? Respectfully, Arthur S-. The boys are certainly very cruel to you. Try making faces at them. As for dancing, try the Highland Fling for practice. Dear Editor: ' The girls think I'm cute, and I am, too. They don't take me seriously, though. How can I impress them? I like pie very much, but it gets mussed up in my ears: how may I avoid this? Robert W-. Girls delight in fancy vests and wars libre. Try that on them, Bobby. You might try wearing a bonnet when eating pie. This department absolutely refuses to give advice to the love-lorn. VVe hope the little ones understand that it is not in good form to fall in love until they wear long pants, and besides, it's endless trouble, except it generally comes to a troublesome end. 195 N l9l8 COLBY ORACLE 1917 FEBRUARY 1.

Arknumlehgment The drawings of a college publication are its most distinctive feature. The Editor feels that the work of the Art Editress, Miss Goodhue, is worthy of much commend- ation. To her and to all those who contributed drawings the Editor expresses his appreciating thanks. Whatever of accuracy and care there may be in this book is due to the efforts of the associate editors. For their painstaking and perhaps wearisome labors the Editor is very grateful, especially to those who volunteered to do more than was asked of them. The manager and his assistant have done a great deal of hard work. On them is laid the financial burden and to them is due financial success. At the last proof-reading it was necessary to delete some of the literary material to keep within the limits of expense. Professor Libby and Professor Crowell have done much to help in the collection of essential material. Pro- fessor Franklin was of inestimable aid in advice and sug- gestions in connection with the Literary Department. Mr, Sullivan and Mr. Small kindly lent photographs from which many cuts were made. To these, to the literary contributors, and to all others who have in any way helped in the publication of this Oracle, the Editor is thankful. 198 RQ -QI0 I I Z X, 41 5274 ff' f '?4f5uS9 'f9 ' ' KL! f 'f , 4.1 ,Af . ,ff 3,2 Q !m f Xfff' M gif?
