Page 52 YZETZZENN A L L A R A H CZtL58,5,?F p Elm Tfrcslpmcm Class F OUR moons before the passing of the year 1914, during the early - dawn of that month which the pale-face calls September, the Fresh- man tribe were gathering about College'Hill. These were Wanderers who had departed from the wigwams of their fathers, in order to gain knowl- edge from the Wise Men who have been sailing for many moons on the Sea of E. 'But after these Freshmen had cast their anchor in the haven and looked about their new home, they found that other tribes were there before them. However, these' were friendly tribes who welcomed the Wanderers with kind greetings, and bade them to sojourn there. Now those who journeyed were weary, for they had traveled far, so they gladly accepted the proffered hospitality and tarried on College Hill. Since then much has happened. Led by Chief Smalley, the new class has attained considerable success. Before they had sojourned long they heard rumors of strange traditions connected with college life. Soon they learned that in order to be esteemed as true warriors, they must meet the strongest of the other tribes in open battle on a date designated b-y the Wise Men as , Cla.ss' Day. This they did and were defeated by the more experienced warriors, but fought so hard and bore defeat so well that the others proclaimed them to be true sportsmen, and the tie of friendship became even stronger than before. Later in the school year three Freshmen, Palmateer, Wright and Raymond, proved. their class to be worthy of this tribute by winning a unanimous' debate decision from the Sophomores. Two men, Smith- and Shannon, earned foot-ball E's. Several others made the squad. Davis was the only new man to obtain a basket-ball HE. Boviard and Little were close contestants for positions held by men of the upper classes. The Freshmen look hopefully toward the future. Their men are strong, Page 53 I gy' Nliigflii' A L L A R A H CZZLESEEF I Group I.

The Freshman maidens are fair and rank high in literary and musical work, as Well as in scholarship. ' Although probably capable of furnishing and predestined to produce many popular heroes, it is not the hope of the F'reshmen to be remem- bered as a class that boasted about laurelswwon from fellow students, but rather to be remembered -as a class. who entered the College of Emporia with a sincere and fixed purpose to accomplish everything possi- ble for themselves andthat in-stitution, and who departed after a sojourn of four years With the story of a valor tried and true Written upon their hearts.

M. C. A. is an indispensable factor to a faultless education. Through t.he Y. M. C. A. men are held in close union with Jesus Christ. Through this intimate relations-hip with Him men learn to do the will of God. y In the College of Emporia, the Y. M. C. A. holds a preeminent posi- tionand the work of the Association supersedes the operation in all other school activity. Its supreme motive is to give to- each life an opportunity to secure personal acquaintance, friendship and fellowship with God. Every member of the Association is urged to 'participate in the regular devotional meetings held each Thursday. Needs, problems, and oppor- tunities which confront the men of the College in their daily life- are openly discussed among the st.udents, and oftentimes helpful messages are furnished through addresses given by outside Christian leaders. Religious meetings were held at the College from February 15th,to February 19th for the purpose of elevating the spiritual ideals of the students. These meetings attained much of their success through the efforts of the two Christian Associations. The Y. M. C. A. welcomes the membership of all men of good moral character. All new men are invited to join as soon as they become mem- bers of the stude-nt body. A stag social is given by the cabinet at the beginning of the- year to insure the 'acquaintance and fellowship of the Freshmen. The Y. M. C. A. is the school organization through which the stu- dents affiliate with the young people's Christian movements' throughout the world. The local society keeps in close touch with the state and national associations. This year twelve men repre-sented the College Y. M. C. A. at the Ottawa State Conve-ntion, and it is the aim of the Association to send at least five delegates to the Rocky Mountain Stu- dents' Convention held in Estes Park. O W. W.

Its membership includes nearly every girl in school, besides several of the ladies of the faculty. The weekly meetings- are interesting and attractive and are well attended. The students themselves usually lead the meetings,.although occasionally special speakers address the girls. - Nearly every Thursday morning special music is provided. The girls fee-l that at Y. W. C. A. each may speak freely o-f her trials, her problems and her ideals, and receive inspiration, the feeling of friendliness and fellowship with the other girls that makes college life mean so much. Various phases of the Y. W..C. A., besides the weekly meetings, are the Bible study and mission study classes and the social functions. At the beginning of each semester is the Y. M. C., A. and Y. W. C. A. reception for the purpose of meeting and getting acquainted with the new students. The gabble, gobble, gib, and the watermelon party are also important functions of each opening year. The association usually sends several girls to the Y. W. C. A. con- ference at Estes Park. This year a Japanese Tea and Art sale 'added about a hundred dollars to the Estes Park fund. A 4 This year the associations of theiCollege of Emporia, the Normal, and Baker, have arranged to send a representative called the Annual Member, from one of the three schools to the Western Field Conference which meets twice a year at Denver. This representative the-n visits the other two schools with a report of the conference. The purpose of the Y. W. C. A. is to come in touch with every phase of student life, to deepen spirituality and friendliness and to fit each girl for an active, worth while Christian life.

We would not vouch for the veracity of all the happenings contained in 'this description, but rather would we ,leave the critical imagination of the readers to believe for themselves as they see Ht., . THE EDITOR. DEAR OLD FUZZY! c Your surmise is eminently correct. We did have one splendiferous time on that barnstorming trip. We had hardly mounted the train till things commenced to- pop. Mabel Ruth and Chick were holding a serious chinfest in the vestibule when the con came along. Chick only handed over one ticket, whereat he of the brass buttons and big feet growled, Where's your wife's ticket? You remember that horse-car at Strong City? The one that used to ply between Sodom and Gomorrah? Well, if your Wonderful intellect can form an image, as Vandy wo-uld say, of that, containing five men, twenty suitcases and twenty-two Women, you'll thoroughly comprehend the situation. A few words of Dolly Lehmann's most aptly describe it. Murmurs she, From now till my death, I shall more fervently appreciate that much misunderstood servant of the people, the sardinef' Henrietta Haynes furnished the only excitement of the evening by falling off of the stage while vainly searching the crowd to see if Bing- ham was therein. Betwee-n the first and last spasm, Brother Cole, principal of the H. S., came back of the scenes and put out a line to the girls that would have made Hege turn pink with envy. Of course all applause following Miss Dotson's Piano numbers was led by Captain Hinshaw. The next day we went to Bazaar, nine miles south of Cottonwood, amongst the native-sg the train which percolates between those places is known by the euphonious cognomen of The Sand-Burr Flyer. Dear old train, it brought back tender memories of the times when General Sherman and I used to do the hurdle races in a Ford. . Every foot-loo-se male human within five miles was at the statio-n to meet us andproudly carry our luggage to the church, Where the circus was to be given. ' , We discovered that the only musical instrument available was the organ that Noah learned to play on while in the Ark. At this partic- ular point Miss Husband showed her genius by persuading one of the Aborigines to lend their piano. In the word-s of the immortal Fred Norris, That Woman could talk Prexy into voting for pool-halls. There was nothing stirring during the performance, as the supply of eggs was low, but the sport came later. You see, Old Top, we tried to get a special train to come o-ut and get us after the do, but the author- ities claimed that the engine's nervous system would not stand more than one trip per diem over that track. S0 Miss Cotton's friend, the school Page 68 I I 'YYLETEZ5' A L L A R A H CZQESIZEF Page 69 v ll 1 6 ,1 y L N fi if l5 1, yi N QQ N, , a 4 'f 1 A W h af 4' I I f ' I , . 515' iy ' ' W In Witiiv A L L A R A H 02353152 F dad, had hired a hayrack and four used-to-been horses to take us to Strong. 'Twas fairly chilly by the time we were packed, in fact the mercury was trying to warm its toes on the zero mark. Said hayrack was supposed to have hay on it. Yes, I'm certain it contained hay, for when I made a hurried search with a microscope I found traces of it. By the time the whole crew was on there you cou1dn't have p-acked a whisper in edgewise. - At this time Alta complained for the first and last time. Sighed she, There aren't enough men along to make it romantic. 'Twas only eleven 'miles to Strong and we had three hours to make it in, so we took things easy. 'Of course it was darker than a keg of black pussies and a gentle Zephyr was blowing about forty knots an hour from the north, so naturally maybe some o-f the girls did mistake the brawny form of a property man for that of her chum and lean- well-er-rather close, you know. But shucks, there were- no flashlights taken,'s'o we have no record. Well, to proceed. We had do-ne the first two miles in the incredibly short space of two hours, when all at once the internal workings of the wagon went on a vacation. Or, to quote the exact words of the driver, The - thing broke. ' . Green notified his folks, from a nearby 'pho-ne, that he was bring- ing the party back on foot. Only a question. of a mile and a half. Take it from me, Caesar, those girls are all true sports. There wasn't a complaint as they stumbled over those clods back to shelter. Half of them got twisted ankles and the others were crippled, but they managed to limp into the corral by one o'clock. Next morning breakfast had to be served a la relay, with Miss Rainier ofliciating. p Well, of course you've heard how the cattle train stopped in Mr. Greene's alfalfa field and picked us up. The con found out that we were in a hurry and let me add that, hurdle racing in a Ford isn't a starter to what happened. Why, actually we bounced as bad as the Emporia street cars. But we got back with few bruises. By the way, one of the elect at Bazaar thinks that with careful and hard training Miss Husband may some day be able to sing in an opera house. Suppose you work the proposition up and get dates for her at Bushong' and Olpe? The wifeof this same individual wished to know how manyof the club were married. Let's see, there's Hinch, Hiram, Bingham, and-well, you know. , Mergie sure will ruin me in Calculus on the morrow if I don't get busy on it, so I must close. Yours with amia.ble animosity. P. C.

Jimmy Russel, the College's premier athlete, Will captain the squad from his position around bag number three. Henderson, last year's catcher 3 Altman, second basemang Patten, outfield and pitcher, Hinshaw, Atken and Bingham, outfielders, and Bill Hughes, shortstop, are the last year's men Who have received first team suits and Who are now trying to convince Coach Granger that they know more about the game than the Freshmen candidates for their positions. ' There are several Freshmen in school that have good high school records behind them. Davis, of Minneapolis, a nifty performer around first base, and Little, a left-hander from Abilene, look good. Other Freshmen and last year's second string men will probably grab some of the positions on the team. p Coach Granger and Manager Charles Russel have almost completed a fifteen game schedule and with the diamond in -good condition April lst will see all the men Working hard for the first game.

Nevertheless Ottawa was defeated 60 to 57 and the College with four entries took fourth place in the state meet held at Winfield, scoring a total of 22 points. Jones won both hurdle races, setting a new conference mark of 25 4X5 seconds for the 220-yard low hurdles, and took fourth place in the broad jump. Wright captured the half mile run, setting a new college record of 2:04 4X5 for the distance. Wilson took second in the shot put, raising the college mark to 38 ft. QML in., and Sam Kirby took fourth in the mile and third in the two-mile. , A This year, although the loss of Jones cripples us in the hurdles, the prospects are good. With this one exception all of last year's E men are back and ready to go. And in addition the Freshmen are sup- plying some likely material, of whom Smith, Davis, Braden and Leslie Kirby are the most promising. U Page 95 J.

Then it means the dis- turbing, uncertain, life-depends-on-it time, deciding whether to cast their lot with us or with our neighbors across the hall, and finally the glorious, never-to-be-regretted decision to go Alethean. The next im- portant event the girls remember is the much-talked-of Seal Luncheon, which is given to the Freshmen girls, really to strengthenethem for the ordeal that is soon to come, viz.: initiation. Out of love and pity for our newest members we pass hastily over that never-to-be-forgotten night, the direct cause of many subsequent sleepless nights, and of other equally unpleasant nights affected by what is in polite terms called the nightmare, Likewise, the period of serfdom forced upon the new girls, would gladly forget Cuntil next yearl. For the old members, Alethean spells good new friends every year.

The development of this future is the aim of our society. We strive to stand for the things which are the noblest and the best, and to contribute something of value to the life of the school. We believe this may be attained through intimate social life among the girls as Well as study. We have passed through a crisis and now, stronger and more determined, We take up our Work of the next year. O Last year We studied the dramas from the Old Greek to the mod- ern dramas. We have made a study of classical short stories this year. These are read and discussed. The program is seasoned with music. I We are a jolly little bunch of twenty-five girls, meeting every week for Wholesome amusement and culture. To expand both in knowledge and in membership is our intention. , We have Aftermaths in all Organizations. Many of us graduate with honors.

During the present year the interest in oratory and public speaking has shown a marked increase. This is largely due to the able instruction of Prof. Stewart in the Department of Public Speaking. Paul Wilson won the Kenyon, the preliminary for the State Con- tes t. Main, Waugh, Townley, Longenecker, Seaman and Elcock also ran. A I Maurice Waugh was our representative in the Oratorical contest of the Eastern Division of the State Prohibition Association. Waugh has shown marked ability and we are expecting much from him in the future. - The Freshman and Sophomore Potter Prize Debate waswon by the Freshman team. Miss Lorena Palmatier, Walter Raymond and Ivan Wright divided the spoils. - Ottawa and C. of E. will clash in debate on April 16th, each school being represented by a girls' team. Misses Templeton, McCormick and Palmatier are confident of winning a victory for C. of E. At the present time the Potter, the Bruner, and the Eckdall Sz McCarty contests have not been held. The State Oratorical Contest was held this year in Emporia. Wilson had a powerful oration, but we were forced to be satisfied with fourth place. Baker, Wesleyan and Fairmount finished first, second and third in the order named. Special thanks are due to Harry Alexander for the excellent management of this contest and all the local contests that have been staged.

A L L A R A H 625553512 F V Stuoent Volunteer Bane Student Volunteer Movement for foreign missions, organized in 1888, is a movement of the students in the institutions of higher learning in the United States and Canada. It endeavors to enroll a sufficient number of Student Volunteers to meet the demands of the various missionary boards of North America. Each Student Volunteer signs the declaration of the movement, which is as follows: It is my purpose, if God permit, to become a foreign missionary. The Student Volunteers in an institution are organized into a Volunteer Band. The objects of the Band are to deepen the missionary purpose and spiritual lives of the members, to secure other Volunteers and to promote missions in the College and the College community. There are twenty-three alumni of the College of Emporia in the mission field now, and ,others who have graduated in recent years are preparing to- go. The State Convention of Student Volunteers was held in Emporia last fall, October 30, 1914. At present there is an active Band of thirteen members. They meet once a week to spend an hour in prayer, study and conference concerning the needs of the foreign iield, and practical methods of meet- ing them. Each, member gives some current event relating to mission work, and a report is given from the Convention held in Kansas City. A The regular meetings are open only to the Volunteers, but several times a year meetings are scheduled which any one of the students may attend. At someof these meetings there are special speakers, and others are conducted as a regular meeting. The members are: Laura Soper, Martha Stewart, Maude Niesley, Leila Gordon, Anna Lehmann, Alice Underwood, Josephine Wilson, Edward Bigger, Herbert Strickler, 'Leroy Seaman, Tonny,Mullen, 'Elbert Severance and Wayne Granger.

Its purpose is to awaken and conserve interest in Christian Social Service. To this endthe members investigate the opportunities offered for occupational Christian service and study up-to-date methods of meeting the social problems. of the pres- ent day. . I U Any young woman student is eligible to membership, the only re- quirement being a determination- to spend. two hours each month in the regular meetings of the club studying Social Service Problems. D p In 'the past two years the club has been a decided success. The work carried on here is unique, not being duplicated in any other de- partment of the school. p The club cooperates with the local church organiiations and with the city matron. Under the guidance of the city matron, the girls visit the shut-ins, and in many ways bring cheerand good will to the needy. In, addition to the programs given by the members, there have been several special addresses during the year. ,Outside speakers have pre- sented such topics 'as Women Doctors, Women's Clubs as a Social Factor, , The Deaconess as a Rescue-Worker, Child Welfare and Kindergarten Work. Miss Edna Ernst is the President. She is assisted by an executive staff from the student members and a faculty advisor. ' . ' LAURA SOPER.

Elm Revolt of tl7c'3l aculty , Whiz, pop, bang, marked the flight and destination of the rock and sudden darkness reigned. Good shot, old scout, whispered Wayne to fHank. ' Come on, boys, Hank's beaned the ,light by the Dorm. Now we'll go and clean up on Stuart Hall. We'll show those pestiferous students whether or not they can run us, chortled Kistler. Civil war was reigning in the College. Exasperated nearly beyond all endurance by the obstinacy of the students, the faculty had sent forth an imperial ukase commanding the rebellious students to take a holiday if they won from the Business College in the annual foot-ball struggle. With a mighty shout the students had given back the answer, Never. . ' The game had been won 13-12. 'The fate of nations was hanging in the balance. The shades of night had fallen o'er all and still the momentous issue was undecided. , Immediately following the evening repast the faculty held a meeting to seek a' solution for the terrible problem. Were they to be brow- beaten and bully-ragged by a bunch of over-grown hill-billies from the plains and ravines of Kansas? Certainly no concessionsl couldbe made. by that austere group to the domineering students, or all prestige would be forever lost. . As a result of that meeting the men of the faculty, under the leadership of Dr. Henry C. Hooker, were stealthily advancing upon the College grounds. Already you are cognizant of what occurred near the Dorm. A Coming to Stuart Hall Lieutenant Titus E. Blumenthal, the English professor, cautiously raised a- window and the gang stepped' inside. Now, boys, spoke up the leader as they gathered 'round him, this is the plan of A attack, we fellows will do the work out here, then go down to Juanita Flower's shack and the girls will make candy, and we'1l celebrate proper. I'1l take Ray, Hugh, Martin, Fayette, Kistler and Conradl The rest of you go with Titus. And, fellows, whatever you do, remember the school you represent and do a good job of it. Turning, he sprang up the stairs followed by his faithful henchmen. f'Shades of Tennyson, quoth Hugh, 'tis much darker than Erebusf' ' A A p ' Did you bring the screw-driver, Ray? interrogated Martin.

X Won't this be some stunt? exulted Fayette. Those studes think we're a bunch of simps and fogies, but, boys, we'll tear this building to little bits and throw it out the window. Why, fellows, it'll look like it had just come unsuccessfully thru a bad attack of the 'delirium tremensf' As they reached the last landing Henry gathered his crew near him and imparted to them his final instructions. Us fellers will take all of the recitation seats and all chapel seats and stack them in the lower hall, also any other movable furni- ture. Titus and his bunch will bring McConnell's laundry wagon out and put it on the platform. Fly at it. , No second bidding was needed, and with such spirit and thoroness was the work pushed that ere sixty minutes had fled the job was com- pleted. We are ready to get the bleachers now, Hank, whispered Titus. Fair enough, we are ready, too, mumbled Hank. Shake a leg, we've got to hustle those bleachers in here. At the words they all raced to the athletic field and seized the bleachers. I A Yo, ho, ho and a bottle of rum, here she goes, boys, sang out Frederick in a hoarse whisper as the bleachers started for their final resting place. ' A ' Hardly had the unwieldly -structure been placed in chapel than, Sh, whispered Elmer, those boys are on our trail. Here, let's sneak down the fire-escape. ' Cautiously the window was raised and one by one the shadowy forms slipped stealthily down the iron stair-way. V There they are by the library. Beat it, fellows, said Dan in a hoarse undertone. - i ' In all directions flew the faculty, while at every turn rose a student to capture the revolutionists. Norris, you head off the Bible prof. He's down there by Lake Mergandahlj' shouted Strickler. A A To the north 'fled Wayne, with Clough and Noyes close at his heels. On all sides the indignant students were relentlessly pursuing the mis- crecmts. Conrad was flying for safety in hot haste, with Townley drawing ever nearer. Just as he reached his back yard he stumbled and fell with such arbump that he half awoke. Boys,f' he muttered sleepily, considering the psychological effect of turnips upon the growing intellect, I'll see that you'll get your holi- day if you beatthe Normal. , And Conrad slept on. fANoNYMoUs.J Page 122 ' A - .Y NINETEEN FIPTEEN A L L A R A H CglilLlfC?l5I.?F Page 123 NFHUETZEEENN A L L A R A H CZMEXZXF Ebc 3720.135 'i5oin's SEPTEMBER.
