A .n.,, FOREWCDRD As in Ancient Greece, the youths and maidens sought the Oracle of the Whispering Oaks for an estimate of their prowessesg in just such fashion do the young men and women of today take council of the Swamp White Uaks on our Campus. We of the Craculum staff are aware of the fact that these oaks are the real Oracles of our college, but we also know that in the years to come, only a few of the students will he given the privilege of continuing these associations so dear to them. Thus, we supplement rather than supplant the real oracles. But it is not alone to forcast the future of some of our satellites that so much time and energy is spent on this publication. Rather is its function threefold: to give the prospective student an idea of campus life at Dehanceg to recall to the Alumnus the days when he acquired knowf ledgeg and for those who have enjoyed with us this inspiring year of work and play, to form a memory garden of the happiest days that come to mor' tals. These are the aims which we hope this hook will in part fulfill. C t 1925 Table of Contents C23 Dedication C I College V Classes D l Athletics.

It became necessary to stop and establish a base. Looking about for an appropriate location, he def cided on the junction of the Auglaize and Maiimee Rivers. The fort was built. When it was finished, Mad Anthony made a tour of inspection, observing the excellent structure and the fine strategic position. He was so enthused that he defied Cod, man, or the devil to take the fort, and named it Fort Defiance. I Mad Anthony has been dead for many years, but his spirit still lives. Near the site of his fort, a city grew up, and this city has retained the name of Defiance. k'But vvhat's in a name? A great deal in this case. The feeling of independence displayed in this brave pioneer has never been lost by those who came after him. Some years ago, the citizens of the town, with the help of the Chrisf tian denomination, succeeded in establishing a college. This college, from the date of its founding, has been imbued with the same fine type of inf dependence that seems to haunt the old fort. Competing with schools which have at their command greater resources, a larger constituency, and more renowed instructors, Defiance has never lost the spirit. She has sent out athletic teams, debating teams, glee clubs, student preachers, and gospel teams, and never yet has this college had cause to feel that her ndefinacen of all comers was not justified. It is spirit that makes the college man one apart from the common herd. It is the College spirit that makes a man remember his college days as the happiest that he has experienced. It is the Defiance College spirit that causes us to love Denance, and to realize that to her we owe homage and praise. No college has a richer background of historical lore, a more def voted faculty, or a student body with greater possibilities, and no college has a finer spirit than Defiance. 8 A d , ' ff- A . 1:5 4 ,LJ 'GQ 1.4, , I , .' .,y-e , ,, ., ,,,,, . ,. . 3.1 - V ?'f - ' me ., .. y , -I 9 , , The College 1.

'Being interested in land-scaping, he knows that trees contribute to the heat of the atmosphere, for the birch has warmed him many a time. 'Likes a landscape best when some Wood is near, even if he -does get lost. Lies longer in bed than any other member of the class. , - 'Hishobby is huntinge-rabbits, dates and other things. ' BERNICE GIN GRICH Direct Quotation: 'fThis is an awful world, but I guess it's the best weive got. Interested in the rights of Porto Rico. Looks. forward to a university career. Used to belong to '26, but realized the superi- ority of '25, and joined. us. U WILLIAM LATCHAW I A youthful' Adonis. Sun-kist complexion, also light headed. Took 'the course on O. T. Bible, but still thinks the book of Numbers is a telephone directory. He has never quite gotten over the innocence of his Freshman year. - His chief diversion-driving the Nash. MARYETTA B OWYER Lady of Mystery. She looks so meek, and is not meek at all. Never lets 'the side show interfere with the main circus. -- Maryetta is a thorough student, and we are glad she belongs to the class of '25. Her worst habit is blushing. 1 r1w.E.Z.'l'iZ1.:f1f145.QI,.1flfsz QZQMIQ1It:-.sQrLf..245z!..5lia.:.J,..2.'aLzJLl i .P ll Mb' ll X fix ffl Q 7 . 'i sz?

Got chilled to the bone last winterg he had his hat off. Phrfise which describes him best is, Beau Brum- mel . CLEO BARD Ought to have his voice cultivated-absolutely plowed clear under. ' Thinks that basketball games can be won by letting his beard grow. Has been successful in making the annual cir- cuit with the glee club ever since he arrived on the campus. ' Line in which he is most skillful-accumulating hash. RUTH SPEICHER One of the few who has attained the distinction of belonging to the English club. Lives away from the vain and purposeless life of Trowbridge. Doesn't believe in clubs for women as she says that they have been mal-treated enough. Her moist striking characteristic is a strong sense of duty. ' VVALTER S HEARER Stands for what he thinks the girls will fall for. Studied a week and a half some time in the latter part of his Sophomore year. Should be a good student, as he handles more books than any other person in college. VVork at which' he is most adept: painting designs. 56 f , .. wif? iff, gf sl a ff .V ,f 'eff' fegfwv' X i - L :+1fesZ'b2f5L:v-'.--,.,-:P-I-E'ZI,-.2 . -zzzhrcrftizsr fm .. f- Q. ,fa V . an-.1g:1a1f:,w.-fi, --Azff'--vs.. .-:wg , -' f ., . , 'T ., ' .. . 4,-3 Jrszfsrf up is nfs! HERBERT ULLERY For everyone he hath a wherefore? A train of thought passed through his head and wrecked it. Worked as hard as any at football and got liniment for his pains. His good humor is enviable. Highest ambition is to make all of the varsity teams. C. Y. CHU A wise man of the East. Smallest man in school. The one who put Can in Canton. . Chu is a typical Chinese, and we are glad that he has joined the class, not only because of his foreign birth, but also for his sterling char- acter. His favorite place of resort is the Sweet Shop. HALCYON BOGART You can't judge a book by its cover. Stands firm for principles, but changes them every two weeks. Comes from the back-woods, but they have softened the name by calling it Columbus Grove. One of Prof. Meinke's standbys in History XI. OTH O BARD He thinks too much, such men are dangerousf' He took a girl to a music recital once. One of our honor students who is going on to the 'university one of these days with a scholar- ship. His greatest ambition is to know more about his History text than the man who wrote it. Stays out of school every once in a while to give the prof a chance to catch up. JI , . , A VEARL HAGAN Perfectly proper. Is head of the organized sextons of the cahmus. Can make the campus bell play a regular rev- ellie. Another reason why Indiana is famous. Thinks that Earlham is on the road to Defiance. MARGARET HOLDREN Should be a friend to' Freshmen as she has a reputation of being friendly to New-comers. She is so good natured that Peggy and cheer- fulness are synonymous. Has the happy faculty of pouring oil on troubled waters. Her favorite society is the English Club. ORVILLE BELL And they shoot men like Lincolnll' Has a good line-could buy something from a Jew and sell it to a Scotchman at a profit. He's the longest part of Ding-Dongf, Makes the name Maine as popular on the campus as it was during the Spanish-American War. Favorite pastime is attending banquets and Trowbridge Dining Club. HARLEY WATKIN S Talks like a train caller in Union Station. Never spends much for lodging-carries his bunk right along with him. He may be a big gun in school, but it is an awful small report that ever goes home. Has an elusive trunk. Is responsible for the money to pay for this publication. g Greatest asset: His oratorical delivery. 58 ,,..,.hfjg.', , f ,f V ' . , I 'H tr iw- e.:..,eWze-mea .

Has two majors-co-education and--but special- izes in co-education. Took the Bible course but spent the most of her time on Paul. The time she likes best is Moonlight nights. ROBERT SUM.MERB ELL He says that he is going to wear clothes to match his hair until he becomes bald-headed. Stays behind in his studies so that he can pursue them. ' Can't argue with himg he is too well trained. Gets away strong with the Prof's. Greatest weakness is calling at Trowbridge. Slogan, ZS by June. JUNIOR REYNOLDS Instrumental in college affairs -as he plays the violin in the orchestra. Has been known to confuse basketball games with music recitals. Expects to turn out some good ushers from the junior Class by the end of the year. Thing he enjoys most is Grau-ching. RUTH HUNT A Ruth is taking a course in the novel, studying Howelllsj quite extensively. VVe prophesy that her teaching career will be short. Showed her powers as a Hnancier while treas- urer of the class in the Sophomore year. She is a good friend to everyone. 59 -T' A cg . f 1 ,-:v ,.,- .,., ..,V M -Q' 1 ALICE MORTON Always seems like Alice in Wonderla . Is noted more for her intellectual than or her physical prowess. I Takes pleasure sadly. P - ' One of the efficient kitchen mechanics. Thing most natural for her to do is to keep quiet. - Y CECIL CADWALLADER . His name sounds somewhat Welsh. . Another native son of Defiance. Eludes most of the campus turmoil by residing in the city. ' Is always glad when vacation is over so that he can cut a few more classes and chapel periods. Greatest interest is Karl Marx. FAYE NEDS She reads deep stuff-says that light literature is seldom illuminating. , She's madly in love with the curriculum. One of our A students. - Believes that if you spend 6O'Z7 of your time attending to your own business, and 4-OW in letting other people alone, you will get into very little trouble. Her hobby is palmistry. EDNA STRAWBRID GE Favorite expression: Mustaches are such distasteful things. Thinks it great to have a friend you can trust, especially when the friend doesn't ask you to trust him. ' One of the best patrons of the O. E. Also of a certain Ford coupe. Favorite topic of discussion is Lima. 60 V f A-73-' ry. ' lg ff . -1 1 4 .. W.. -W.Q'z-fa A . , V . l V A lawn of f ff! f RUTH ENDERS Appears to be on the verge of nervous pros- perity. Expects to have better company in the class before she graduates. ' Her ide'a'of'an agreeable person is one who agreeswith her. ' ' ' . Ruth seems to have poetic talent.. Look in last year's Oraculum and religious periodicals. Favorite dramatic character is Percy in Henry V. LOSSEN BARD Doesn't talk much, but it is -a question as to whether the silence is golden or ivory. Only member of the class who has occupied a birth in that popular hotel, the city jail. Greatest desire is to acquire a full head of hair. CLOYCE BOOHER Only member of the junior class who is asso- ciated with -the alumnig We fear for the alumnae. He says that deep breathing will-kill microbes, but wants to know how you are going to make them breath deeply. The most awesome thing about him is his name. ' ' Most valuable possession is a deck of cards. LAURA SCHAD No, all schads are not fish. A But some day We expect her to tell some man how big a fish he is.

X An inveterate asker of foolish questions. He thinks that the Y Cabinet is a piece of furniture. N He hates food-it spoils his appetite. Very handy at pressing his suit. Q JUANITA OLDAKER Wished on us by the class of 1921-what a wish. Swears she won't change her name on any man's account unless the account is large enough. Out of school four years-came back to take a vacation. Has the good fortune of getting into classes of which Prof. McReynolds is class pro- fessor. Favorite study is chemistry. 'x 0 CARMEN BURKE She's got style all the while. 1 Has a mind of her own, but not a hearty some one stole that. Would be an ornament to any societyg is also the Oraculum's authority on campus social af- fairs. Is noted for her musical abilityg greatest inter- est aside from that is the law. LEIGHTON CONKEY He's like Pittsburgh onions-he's so strong. Wouldn't dare go down town with his fists in his pockets for fear they would arrest him for carrying concealed weapons. An all 'round athlete. Although he filled the jugs for the Sissonites in the fall he was never arrested for bootlegging.

An'nen he tel me i are pretty smart an' he want me to rite som'thin for oraculum. I dont like to rite things so i start to back out rite away but it didn't do no good so i guess i haf to rite it but i know how i get even with that red head. I just rite some'thin that he cant make head or tale out of. My english teacher says i always rite that way. If i haf to rite som'thin i guess i will say that the class of '27 is the bestest and mos' remarkablest class that ever will be graduated from ol' D. C. If u don't believe it u don't haf to but just REED the following SHORT CLEAR RECKoning of that PUMPHREYous class. WOOD you mind if i WRIGHT first that this class has a BROWN an' WHITE SCHALL made by a certain SCHNEIDER an' sold to a U. S. army SARGENT while in the service of king RICHARD QGISLERJ at an extraordinary price by a SKINNER. Then there is also a big ALLEN motor car that the BUTLER drives around so ABELEy for his master the POETQZINGERJ an' WISEMAN. SPURQGED ON by a deeply ROOTed BOND of love for CARCHAMQ BEAUCLTJS the girls of the class like to ride in the CFRED BACK seats of a FORD over the GREENCLERJ HILLS of ol' VIRGINIA CLAWSOND. Sunday mornings they love to stroll back from the ABBOT to TROQEGERJ brige for a DENCISONQer of the famous FITZSIMMONS BRANfONjed DILQSJ pickels. - While the sun BEAMS on the ROSES QKUTZLIQ an' the CENDSIGN posts HOW CSD ARE jOHNSON's chances for the presidency improving the working MANN's chances VOR WERK? When the ZELAous QGRABERJ BUCKCLEWJS RANQDALLQ LUCE among the LANK QBODENJ BENDfERjing BURRS on the CRAIGS and in the MARSHes and the CHILdQEj played a tune on the BAGQBYJ pipe that might have resulted in a BLUE funeral DERGE, LOUIS CE HOYQ XIV VERA-QI-IOUCKD lied his KENCNEDYJ by refusing to eat the GIL QMANJ of a BASQIL HIGGINS? and DAVIS, probly the nephew of jeffer- son, SLOUGHly lifted his CLANGDSTAFF in WARNfERjing to the LIV- INGCSTONQ QWISTERQMAN that he would SWISHQERJ it harder than the DUSEQBERGJ. The MILLER's gave GARENTCTJS QLENTZQ an' RUCEQGEQRQ to the SMITH's who live in the CNEIDERJHOUSECRJ next door, with the TURRITQINJS on it, insted of HURLfBURTjing RICE when they cele- brated their 25th married anniversery RUFENACHT PARKEfRjd her QREYNDOLDS Mobile while PETERS, a COSJBORN fNOl-TFQSINGER in ERNEST CHOFFERQ threw a QPAUDLINE CMEYER over the book of RUTH CYEAGERJ while RUPP was SCHACHT by the new KIRCBYQ tles worn by the DEGROFFS in their SCHLOSSQERD QSjtHAT is TUCKed away in one of the QSCHWEINQHACGQVENS of the Maumee. Now if that editor he is not satisfied with this he can just sit down and rite som'thin himself. I don't think he can see any sense in this but that dont make no difference. He isn't the only one. -a FRESHMAN. 82 , .... ,, ., -..H ..... ,.,,.,. - - .---... , . ,A I .,...! xV1,A .

MILLER Coach Ernest R. lkliller came to us last September, highly recommended, and we can now say that he has lived up to our expectations. He isia -good athlete himself, and has had practical coaching experience in High Schools and Colleges. Besides this he has received special training under Yost oft Michigan and Rockne of Notre Dame. He came to us from VVittenburg Where he acted as head coach of baseball and assistant in other sports. To him we must contribute credit for making Working athletic machines out oi individual players. Only a man of high caliber could put on the helds of action such smooth working athletic teams as has Coach Miller. ln every department he is there and knows how to get the men to play the game. His influence in the athletic activities of Defiance College is keenly felt and he did much toward putting the Purple and Gold on the map in the new conference. 84 F,...,1,.i ., .,.., ....-,,..-,,. -W ,.- V fw :za 9 ' '-1 ..

Two hours each afternoon are set apart for students to get recreation. Even the min- isterial group participates in every branch of college sport. Nearly every student finds his or her place in some of the frolics of the athletic Held, the gymnasium or the tennis courts. lt is not the policy of Defiance College to commercialize and build up great teams, but it is her aim to develop the students that come to her for college work as well as play. VVe do however appreciate our heroes of the gridion, the diamond, the tennis court, and the basketball hall and are glad to honor them with the coveted DU sweater.

Since the organization of this club in lVIa1'ch 1922, it has contributed much toward the athletic success of Defiance. It is through this organization that the usual confusions of the annual basketball tournaments are eliminated and everything is carried out on a definite schedule. Not only do they care for the detail of the tournament, but show their interest in the visit- ing team. Through this and other teams, the organization functions as a recruiting agency to interest real men in our college. Under the leadership of P. V. Harris, '24, this organization has functioned smoothly during the last year. PeeVee, as he is called on the campus, has had great influence in this work. He has risen to meet every need and has co-operated most heartily with the athletic department. Under the auspices of the Varsity HD organization, the annual gridiron banquet was held in the dining room of Weston Hall on Wednesday' evening, January 9th, 1924. At this occasion Hfteen men were awarded football sweaters. VARSITY D OFFICERS K President: P. V.

This time was spent studying the fine points of the game along with some punting, passing, and workouts to get the men in condition for the coming season. After an afternoon of work on the gridiron, the fellows would take a plunge in the llflaumee. From all reports the campers, sixteen in all, had a good time, good eats, good accomodations and were sorry to break up camp. We hope that it will be possible to duplicate this event next year as it means much to a team to get such training. Thanks to Coach Miller for starting it. 90 If vw- 1955 , 4.4 ,W .,.,, , , , ..:.,. ,, , , ., , ' -1 Q: 52,1 v ,- , ff. -' 'A J J, I ' ' , 0f'w +: 4 1 ff u f -fzwH-we-2:11,-24 Qf-,M-,En-..:,.,.-.-1.4,., ,,.. -..-3.2,--E,-.,-.---Q--.-.,L,,,--M .,.,, , -,.. .... .

He was, by all odds, the bestrpunter in the Northwestern Ohio conference and was never outkicked in any game of the year. His passing was excellent as proven against Bowling Green, when ten of his thirteen passes were completed. He was also a fast runner and frequently tore off long end runs. As a three year letter man, we look to him for big things next season. BELL: Another three-year letter man in the person of Dong Bell, the largest and tallest man on the squad, was a hard and aggressive Hghter. At tackle he was especially strong on defense. Few gains were made through his part of the line. BOND: Bondy showed great improvement as a defensive end, in comparison with his previous seasonls work, and at the end of the season demonstrated his ability to pick passes out of the air. He is a two-year man. SHATTUCK: Although Erich was outweighed by his opponent in every game, he was outplayed in none. He made a very good tackle and we look to him to make an even better one in the future. ' EICKMEYER: Eick', is a two-year man, playing his first year at tackle and this year at center. He played consistently and has the good record of never making a bad pass throughout the season. We are expecting a duplication of the good work at center next season. PATTERSON: Credit can rightly be given to 'LPat,' for being a persistent fighter at guard. He showed up best in the last game of the season when he picked up a fumble and scored a touchdown. HPat is a two-year man. LANKENAU: Lar1k proved an ideal leader of this year's team because he could do anything necessary for his team mates to do. Lank's strong point was catching passes, but he did Well as an all-round backfield man, and was particularly good in bucking the line and open field running. This is only his second year and we expect much of him during the next two years. 92 RZ ' we r 7 Q2.' 1 i .AA .. . . 5 925 t iz' 't t .

A,..,. . . f , A CRUEY5 Guppy was especially good at end in blocking the opposite tackle and developed into a hard tackler himself. He will he a valuable man on later teams. BLUE L.: Starting at full and then shifting to guard, Red,' did effective work and is looked to as a strong man for the future. Consistency of light was a great point in Red's achievements. ARCHAMBEAULT C.: Claud was strongest as a defensive man. He was an excellent tackler and during the latter part of the season, developed into a good line plunger. His star play of the season was the 89-yard-run he made against Bowling Green. We hope to have him with us next year. ' ARCHAMBEAULT L.: Lewis, as a fast quarter, improved rapidly under Coach Miller into a splendid open Held runner and pilot of the eleven. He was cool under fire and always fighting. WATKINSZ Harley was enthusiastic and fought hard to earn a place on the team. After two years of substitute, he earned his letter this year. He shows the fighting spirit and we hope that he sees fit to return. GILMAN: Gillie was handicapped by injury during the first part of the season, but once in shape, he played a good all-round game. He is only a Freshman and has great possibilities. BLUE F.: Franklin was the most versatile man on the team playing end, center and half. He is a good all-round man and made an excellent utility man. He will he valuable material for the team another year. BREWVER: At guard, Brewer was valuable because of his all-round ahility and his quick understanding of the plays. He was a tower of strength in the line. WVe are sorry that he was not able, on account of injuries. to Finish the season. 922 Fw ' .

Defiance lost the championship by a narrow margin, but defeat was only after a hard-fought season. The injury of Kershner, the pivot and three-year varsity-man, was a severe blow to the team. The season started off with a defeat at the hands of Heidelburg. ln the next encounter Defiance showed superiority over Elmhurst. Cedarville was able to squeeze an overtime victory but Kent Normal and John Marshall both bowed to the Defiance cagers. Late in the season, John Marsliall was able to get revenge on a return game. ln the conference, Defiance found it. impossible to stop Toledo U. in either of their encounters. With Findlay and Bowling Green, we took both games with little diffi- culty. It was, however, in the first Bowling Green encounter that Kershner had his collar-bone broken. A special car of rooters went with the team to Bluffton to witness the very exciting game resulting in a one-point defeat. The climax of the season was when we played Bluffton a return game and triumphed over the conference champions to the tune of 34-19. With a good bunch of last yearfs squad back for basket-ball this season, Coach Miller developed an excellent team but just as everything was nicely started, Kershner was injured. Filling his place was difficult and not until Swarts was tried there, did the team get back on its feet. Mtich credit must be given Coach lX'Iiller for his splendid work with the team. He knew the game from every point and succeeded in putting a great deal of it into his team.

HARRIS: As Captain of the team, Pee- Vee was a real inspiring factor in keeping the team going. Pop, as he was called on the floor, was a steady and impenetrable defense man, along with which, he was a clever passer and an accurate shot. We will miss him on the floor next year. KERSHNER: As a three-year-and pivot- man Kershner started the season off in great style. All plays hinging around him worked with perfection and few centers could out-jump him. Misfortune stepped in at Bowling Green and stopped his College basketball career. We are sorry for him and for our Purple and Gold, that we could not witness him in action any longer. BROWN: Brown played a Very speedy and dangerous game' at forward. He always has had a wicked eye for baskets and this year he leads the quintet in individual scores. He is fast on the floor, and dirlicult to guard. He is also an underclassman. LANKENAU: It is difficult to say where he can play best, for he is a big man whether at forward, center or guard. He played all three positions during the season but finally was placed at guard where he stopped many would-be ringers. Still a Sophomore, he will have more chances to demonstrate his ability. 96 XX . 3 ,31 C ..,aza:ss.,....l,..f:,. .am ,M ,lg ..Q,,.1f,:l.,,r.a:..',,J,N.,,.. .,..o MULHOLLAND: Dave played every position on the floor until finally he was set on forward. Here he developed into an accurate shot, a tower to receive the tipoff, and a wonderful passer. The coach says that he is the most graceful passer ever on the Sisson Gym floor. As he is an under-classman, we .have assurance of a good man next year. PUMPHREY: As a new man, Pumphrey worked his way into the team and per- formed at forward and center. He made a high quality utility man and when' called to play, as he was many times, put up a good style of basketball. He will be of value in the future. SWARTS: As a substitute center, Swarts has been faithfully staying with the team for two years, and finally his day came when Kershner went out and he went in. Swarts not only played his position with credit but was a positive factor in boosting D. C.'s scores. Much credit is due him for his persistency. , SWISHER: At the forward position, Swisher was a classy player. He entered the squad as a new man and worked into a regular place on the team. He ranked well with the point getters of the team. 97 , Ali . Z .'

BASEBALL CHAMPIONSHIP - 1923 Although baseball has I1'0t been as popular as other sports in former years, it came to its own last season when Defiance won the Northwestern Ohio Conference championship. Bluffton bowed to Dehance twice by the scores of 7-3, 1-I--2. Toledo U. was another victim, losing to us 10-7, 10-2. We divided games with Findlay with the scores of 9-1, 2-5. Bowling Green was also able to get one tilt of the two with the scores of 2-3 and 6-5. To top this splendid line of victories the Varsity held the Alumni down to a 9-l run game. The Defiance representatives scored 69 runs to their opponents 29. Bill Rock must be given much credit for these results for. he managed the team in the capacity of Captain as well as pitching every inning of the conference games. He was a cool, thoughtful pitcher always working out of holes in fine shape. Seitz, the only other Senior on the team played a consistent game at first base. The rest of the team were under-classmen and in them our hope of another championship year lies. Conkey, the heaviest hitter on the team, played well at short. At the end of the season he was elected Captain of the team for 192-P. Cruey and Blauvelt held down the second and third sacks througout the season. Vidarte worked into the catcher's position and did well in holding Bil1.', The outfield was creditably sup- ported by lVIanito, Smith, Griffin, and Barto. Coach Vanderscoff did a great deal for this team in getting them into the proper positions and making a well-balanced unit. 100 N S D .mmm ' BASEBALL LINEUP 192+ Vidarte, lldonita ........

Coming back from Spring vacation, Coach Miller called together his baseball prospects. This call brought out eight old varsity men besides other good material from the 'Freshman class. Among the old men are Captain Conkey, Cruey, Monita, Vidarte, Smith, Griffin, Barto and Pugh. Among the new men, Swisher, Schact, Blue, and Archambeault seem to show baseball form good enough for varsity material. Coach Miller is working diligently to make another championship team. The two big vacancies on the team are pitcher and first baseman. Swisher and Cruey look promising as twirlers for the team this year, while Schacht and Monita are contending for the other open position. The team opened the season with Tri-State Normal. The Defiance team showed up well and it looks as if the men have the stuff in them for another crack team. Swisher and Cruey each had their try at the mound and each showed up satisfactorily. The fellows came through at the bat and it looks like a hitting team. Captain Conkey scored the 13th run of the day by putting the ball out of the lot. Barto started the season out by hitting .600. With a team and coach like this, a good season is assured, and we hope another championship as well. 102 X C.,:Q1w25z We :fsz:,.:':.g'4geA,.se,.Qr..,e-r.rr.r.-,..,.,l.,.,o.N...................,,,,.MA...,..... .,., .-,.,.., ...., A 4,.. ..... ..' . .

FRESHMAN-SOPI-IOMORE FOOTBALL To try to settle the question as to which class was supreme, the Freshman and Sophomore nobles met on the field of battle to fight it out in a football game. True to form, it was back and forth, from one side to the other, all near the center of the field. While these braves fought, their admirers from the sidelines cheered them on to higher exertion in order that their superiority be recognized. The Sophomors cannot tell yet Why they were not able to Win. The Freshmen Won the day when Shacht, a lineman, picked an unmolested fumble from the ground and ran for 21 touchdown.

DEFIANCE TENNIS TEAM 1923-24 Tennis is growing more popular as a college sport every day. So that practically all men in school play the game. It is from these that the team is picked. Last season particular interest was shown because of Coach Hardcastle who was a classy player himself and showed enthusiasm in getting together a good team' to represent D. C. on the courts. Howard Scheurman '26 and Wayne Lewis '25 were especially good as was shown in doubles. Other men who were used to make up the team were Crew '25, Root '25 and Yantis '2-l. The tennis team had two matches with each conference school. We are proud of the showing that they made in winning second place in the conference. As captain of the l92-I team, Howard Scheurman is working hard to get a credit- able squad together to represent Dehanceon the courts this season. A schedule is arranged for two matches with each conference school. The probable candidates for the team seem to be Captain Scheurman '26, Yantis '24, Mulholland '26, and Watkins '25 of last year's squad with Chiles and Livingston from the Freshmgr. The out- come of the season is not sure! but from the candidates the prospects look like another winning team. 10-L L 5 3595 my .. v...,. .

Since this is the nrst track event in. which Defiance has taken part for some time, it is un- certain What the ability of some of the competitors is, but, from the interest manifest thus far, a good team is assured for D. C. Charles Durkee 26 of Conneaut was elected captain and, from all reports, is seeing to it that his team gets in good training. The prospectives which have shown up thus far are Captain Durkee, Gillman, Baldwin, Ullery and Schneider for distance eventsg Livingston with the poleg Lankenau and Durkee as high jumpersg James for the hurdlesg Brown for the dashesg and Sargent, Harris and Hurst for the Weights. Making use of the cinder track and athletic field, these men are developing endur- ance and good form which indicates a fast team. 1113 fl 'V ii -- f ,i Q V a 1925? 2 ' ' ' 4f- V-QWA V - e A- r as ' -T A 3 - r at : ,. ,,.f,- ..J5,,4., ,,.f-1, , f,-,,:, ,f..g'f .'.v,' :if 4 fpg. .. x5,1. .1'v.,: l.,,X gs' - W,,3,,4l,,, , 3:1-4 ,...1'-fag r,-. TOURNAMENT The first annual Class B county tournament was held in Sisson Gymnasium on Feb. 22, 1924. A great deal of interest was aroused in this tournament for the smaller schools of the county.

Besides the regular gymnasium exercises, the girls have organized hiking clubs, soccer, basketball, and tennis teams. There is keen interest in basketball among the women and although they do not have an intercollegiate schedule, they get the training and development from the exercise. Hiking clubs seemed to be of particular interest this year. The girls are organized into clubs, and it is the aim of every member to hike the required number of miles during the year in order to get the letters presented by the athletic department. There is an increasing interest in soccer among the freshmen and sophomore girls. Besides the enthusiastic encounters that are staged during the recreation hour, the varsity team showed its superiority over the local High School varsity in the only outside game of the season. 107 . .

His decision was made public just before the close of the school year 1922-23. lt gave opportunity for the informal groups which had been formed on the campus to secure temporary recognition under the regulations approved by the faculty. This arrangement is to be in effect until June, 1926, at which time, the question of continued existence of the groups is to be considered and, if it then seems advisable, the question of affiliation with national fraternities and sororities will be considered. Students, Alumni, and Faculty, who have considered this question carefully, recog- nize that there are advantages and disadvantages in having fraternities and sororities in schools of this size. The administration has requested the vvholehearted co-operation of all involved in finding a solution of the problem which is just to allfconcerned. The groups listed on the following pages have conformed to the regulations in force and, We believe, are co-operating to secure the advantages and prevent the disadvantages of such organizations. The success of the experiment may be determined in 1926. Note: .The stars in the following pictures are used to indicate temporarily inactive members. 110 . . .,., ., . ,,.,, emi' , . .: 11.1 , ' . , , 55 E' 1'f V+ 54' Im' mp:-1,,,ff,63LfQgQL.,,,sg f 47 X V f mg: Q 1 . -knife h y L-.

Fifteen different cities heard their melodious voices, and demonstrated their approval by words of praise and vigorous applause. The tour extended thru fourteen different states and the District of Columbia, thus giving the young men an opportunity of seeing many interesting sights. Although the visits to the chief points of interest in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and Washington, D. C., were of short duration, they will form pleasant memories for all who visited them. The chorus of sixteen voices, and quartet formed the bulwark of the program, while the various solos were rendered in pleasingly finished manner. A comedy farce, And the Lamp Went Out, added a touch of humor to the program. The panto- mine actors succeeded so well in drawing laughs from their audiences that the manage- ment of a health resort run on the laugh and grow fat principlef, is thinking of engaging them for the summer season. The quartet was undoubtedly the best in recent years. The club found a gem in its soloist, Mr. Foltz. Miss VVilcox, the directress, is to be complimented upon the manner in which she succeeded in developing the tone quality as well as the perfect blending of voices in the chorus. The soloists and the club singing were excellently accompanied by Miss VVhitney. Her accurate interpretation of movement and delicate sense of harmony added much to the general effect of the singing. Prof. Gerald McLaughlin was enthusiastically received as exemplified by the statement of a man in Everett, Pa., after Prof. McLaughlin had just finished playing Scenes de la Csarda, Hubay. Mr, lVIcLaughlin's solo was worth twice the price of admission. The Business Manager, Carl May, undoubtedly bore the greatest task of any in the club. It is no mean accomplishment to manage a troupe of energetic college students bent on getting the most out of life. In the discharge of his duties, lllr. lVIay had to provide for transportation, board and lodging, as well as to be responsible for seeing that Justin Morrill and Bill Latchaw caught on to the last coach as the train was leaving town, and that Paul Sheehan didn't wander around sight seeing and miss the train in Philadelphia. After his fruitful experience lldr. May is considering very seriously of applying for the managership of lVIary Garden's Opera Troupe. Or perhaps he would be better situated in a public information bureau, for no less than twenty times a day was he besieged with such questions as HHey, Carl! When do pn gn pu we eat. What time does the train leave: What's the name of this town. Special mention should be made of the readings by Mr. Shearer, especially the humorous onse. A phrase from one of them l'Hey, Joe, jump, run get dat bull, will long be remembered by the members of the club as the standing joke of the trip. 128 ...V .. .1,, - ,,., V,1,...., ,V ,,L, '-Hmm. f' ' v ' fff, ' ' ' ' 7 '- ' ' . w'L3f:'f - .,,,, ,iz-il,'f'fQ3,'.'Jw?'4 -,, f,w:::-ew, - . - ,.

ORATORICAL CONTEST The Inter-Society Oratorcal Contest between contestants from the two college literary societies, takes place annually on an evening of Com- mencement Week. Possibly no event of the year arouses more enthusiasm among the students. The Philomathean Society has Won first honors for four consecutive years but this year the Athenian Society is predicting a heated combat and final victory in the coming contest. The real purpose of the societies, that of cultivating forensic and literary abilities, is fulfilled by this contest. I NOTE: On account of sickness of several of the participants, no con- test Will be held this year. WOODWORTH MEMORIAL CONTEST The Annual Missionary contest was established by Rev. D. D. Wood- worth, D. D., of Tokyo, Japan, for the purpose of arousing a more vital interest in the study of missions. It is usually held during commencement Week and anyone of the student body desiring to compete may do so. This year it is expected that about six will participate. l ?3f'7v ':y1:1 :3519:3:-13717, ,' .' ' ,V - 'Q f . K N ' 1 ':'2zg54?'Fmf'Q rf ' ' Q f . 4-z L: , -'L I '- LmnaEz,.A.

Spiritually the association means much to the inner life of the men of our college. The purpose of the Y. M. C. A. is: 1. To lead students to faith in God through Jesus Christ. 2. To lead them into membership and service in the Christian Church. 3. To promote their growth in Christian faith especially through the study of the Bible and prayer. -l-. To influence them to devote themselves, in united efforts with all Christians, to make the will of Christ effective in human society and to extend the King- dom of God throughout the world. During the year the Y. M. C. A., in co-operation. with the Y. VV. C. A. and the college church, holds a series of evangelistic services which are instrumental in bring- ing many students to faith in Christ. Several men are sent to the Lake Geneva Conference where they receive training and inspiration for more eflicient leadership. The Y. lVI.. C. A. joins with the Y. VV. C. A. in developing the social life of the campus. Practically every social activity of the year is under the auspices of the HY organizations. l-I I 2 f 7 gf, f 1 V 4 7 1 Q iw K Z , RM fi '. . :Eff .sf 1 . 3 V m ' ' 'af' ,.

The Young VVoman's Christian 'Association works locally, nationally and inter- nationally, giving the girls a combination of the spiritual, social and fraternal that no other organization can give. It is the IT1OS't vital organization for girls on the campus. At the opening of the school year it. acts as a friend and helper to the new girls as they enter the college atmosphere for the first time by directing them, through the little sister movement. ' Y The pupose of the Association is to make Christ real on the campus. This, to a great extent, is made possible by the Sunday night services, in which the girls are free to express and discuss the hopes and desires which confront them as future Christian leaders. n The Y. W. C. A., with the help of the Y. M. C. A., sponsors the major social functions of the year. Besides participating with the Y. lVI. for the betterment of the social life of the campus, it manages the Annual May Day Fete, and at some time during the school year, gives a bazaar and several parties for the girls of the city as well as for the campus girls. V The Association participates in the various regional and national conventions. This year it was possible for the local organization to send lkiiss Claire Prince to the National Y. YV. C. A. Conference in New York City. Several girls will be sent to the summer Conference, this year at Lake Geneva. l.lIZ i i 5 5 U UM ma 2 ' .

Amidst the mountains the girls widen the hound of their love and service and leave their ten-day mountain home singing: cl Eaglesmere is the place to go To make the friendships rareg Laugh and play and Jolly times And girls from everywhere. Glad! oh be glad And sadly go awayg Cnly donlt forget to come Back again some day. LAKE GENEVA Lake Geneva brings back fond memories to every one who has ever been there. At Lake Geneva, VVisconsin, the Y. lVI. C. A. conducts a ten-day Summer student conference where some eight hundred men from the Colleges and Universities in these central states gather for a big time together. One cannot but be impressed especially with the inspirations of the hilltop meetings, the fine associations and acquaintances with men, and the good sportsmanship of the camp. It gives opportunity for men to develop physically, mentally, and morally. Last year the delegates from our local Y. M. C. A. were Cleon Swarts '24, Frank Thomas '2-P, Vearl Hagen '25, Ray Vidarte '26, Lossen Bard '25, and Elwin New- comer '25. YVe are expecting to have a good delegation there again this year. 1-I-L V--A f-biz V . lil' I U ' ', , 'vi .,A. q Ln-5,25-YJ: f-'Iv,.V'EZ ?'?V1L ,- V , ,. , ,, RELIGIOUS ASSOCIATION The Religious Association is an organization especially for the benefit of those entering the ministry or other form of Christian work. lt furnishes a place where those students especially interested in religious work may receive definite instruction and inspiration from the presentation and discussion of various topics and problems that are likely to be rnet in the work to be tal-:en up.

There doesn't exist one that can compare with the exper- ience of counting the student vote. WVe, the Qraculum Staff, in the six hours that it took us to count the two hundred or more ballots, learned more about the inner workings of the college student's mind than can be learned in all of the text books to be found on the subject. Also, we learned more about the characteristics of the individuals on the campus than we could have learned by the most thorough study of character analysis. We learned hrst that great minds run in the same channels. On nearly all of the important questions, such as that of the man with the loudest voice, or the most conceited individual on the campus, the consensus of opinion was almost unanimous. Note also how the questions all seem to give the same result. According to the vote of the students, the man most eager for social hours, and the girl most anxious for her man to come, compose the Hsmittenest couple, which, we believe, is as it should be. Some of the questions, however, seemed to call for a keener sense of discernment than is to be found in the average college student. The person who voted for Harley X-Vatkins as the girl with the most men on the string, or for Paul Sheehan as the Dest housekeeper in Trowbridge, certainly needs to consult an oculist.. And it must have been a Freshman who voted for bobbed hair. lf the girl was good looking,'l for only a Freshman could be- ignorant of the fact that all Defiance girls are good looking. Now as to the general characteristics possessed by all college students. As a measure of this, we took those questions where the greatest number of different names were proposed as answers for the same question. The most Wide spread characteristic must be that of being dignified, as more than fifty people were named. ln like manner, Defiance students are good sports, clever, awkward, popular, and good looking. Thirty- two men were listed as anxious to have social hours, While only twenty-five girls were listed as anxious for their men to come. Evidently the girls have their minds on more serious subjects. Eighteen men voted for themselves as the best looking man, while only fifteen women voted for themselves the best looking girl.

A. lt was first inaugurated in 1912 under the auspices of the social committee to do honor to Mr. Trowbridge, doner oi Trowbridge Hall. Since that time this gay springtime festivity has been given for the purpose of raising money for the Y. W. C. A. Conference and Conventions fund. The most important feature of the lVIay Day Festival is the crowning of the hflay Queen. The Queen is chosen from the girls of the Senior class by the vote of the entire student body. Each class chooses a girl to represent it as attendant to the Queen. The graceful march of the royal train, as it slowly winds its way to the white throne before which the lovely queen kneels while she is solemnly crowned Queen of the May, brings to our minds a picture of fairyland. This year the student body bestowed the coveted honor on Miss Lucille Johnson, of Dehance, Ohio. The members of the Freshman class chose Miss' Leone Johnson to represent them, while the Sophomore, Junior and Senior classes chose respectively, llfiiss Gladys Brandon of Ansonia, Ohio, Miss Margaret Holdren of Celina, Ohio, and bliss Marian lVIorrill of Defiance, Ohio, to the honored position of May Queen attendants. 154 ,,fi1 f,,, 5' V - V f ' , ., 1 G' H ' f ,..,-f ' Q 1 Q g 2 ' ' a 12 . .

Enters aged couple, Takes the hindmost Seat, Enters village maiden, Bewitching and petite. glide, Blushingly she asks him, mls this seat engaged ? See that aged couple, Righteously enraged. Then the Defiance student, Sees her ticket through, Thinks about the tunnel, Knows what he will do. Thus they sit and chatter, As the cinders Hy, Till that Defiance student, Gets one in his eye. Then the village maiden Turns herself about, Please, sir, if l may, sir, Try and get it out. 160 T Q . mwff f 1. -tfa ' f 'I' ' :Y . 1' .- , n ' ' 1. - f - , ,. .',. ' 'g , .

Then there follows silence, Ain't it lots of fun, Boys and girls all do it, They know how itls done. Then into the daylight, That west-bound train did glide, Sits the Defiance student, With a maiden at his side.

Another reform the auto has accomplished is to abolish the company parlor. Young folks who once hunted a 'isparkingn place now are more interested in finding a parking space. An optomist is one who while shoveling snow is happy because he does not have to mow the lawn. A pessimist is merely one who has seen too much truth. True friends seldom demand favors. Sometimes a man finds a girl after his own heart only to find later that she really was after his pocketbook. One who is short, naturally has a hard time to get along. A THOUGHT ON' SILENCE The best argument often is the absence of one. The thing of first importance to youth is to remember that there never was a goose that laid golden eggs.

We started out, like the Ancient Mariner, with the pens dashing, inspiration shining, and everybody gay. We bequeath to you our buoyant spirit on this occasion. We had many helpers aside from the regular members of the crew. Among these, the most willing, perhaps, were the photographers, Yantis and Brown. Our Class Professor and his better half did much to help us attain what small measure of success that has come to us. We bequeath to you of the next staff a student body that is always ready to assist. There were many stormy nights ini the editorial rooms, K but we were mounting pictures instead of waves j and many stormy days following when the mistress of the domain found said edi- torial rooms looking like the editor's sleeping quarters. On one occasion, the president of the institution found it necessary to curb our enthusiasm in order to save the building. We bequeath to the Collegian Stajf the work of keeping the editorial rooms in as bad a condition as possible. And finally we find ourselves safe in the harbor of the printer's office. The pilot, in the person of Mr. Papenhagen, is bringing us safely home after the long and wearisome voyage. Oh, but it's a grand and glorious feeling. We bequeath to the staff of next year the joy of this feeling when they shall have earned the right to it. THE STAFF. Sl f 1. --f' v,fvV.fi ,- IV - ' gpyecf TQ ,,V,:W,5J , ,V I ,,,. . .
