DEFIANCE COLLEGE DEFIANCE, OHIO OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT May ze, 1928 TO THE READERS OF THE ORACULUM: The editor has requested me to write a message to the readers of the Oraculum. As I comply with that request I am thinking of the annual publication of the junior class as an enterprise of very busy students who have cheerfully and enthusiastically undertaken a task and have persisted in it although it involves much thought and labor. They have been spurred by the desire to do justice to their own ability, to honor their own class, and to represent worthily the college of which they are a part. I am thinking of it also as an intimate record of the campus life of the past year to be scanned at once by present and former students and friends of the college and to be preserved for future reference by those who have lived through the experiences here depicted. It includes a collection of pictures of students and faculty, and of campus views and organizations. Of course some one un- acquainted with Defiance College cannot fully understand this record, for many of its most vivid pictures and most interesting stories are printed with invisible ink, which becomes visible only to those who can apply the chemical agent - the memory of one who has lived with the characters and shared the experiences described in this record. The Oraculum is only one expression of the vital energy of a living organism which we know as Defiance College. Through the many functions and activities of this organism lives are molded and careers are influenced. Surely then it will not be considered merely a formal ex- pression of something I am expected to say when I venture to express the hope that all the activities and influences in which we who are here have a part may ever be constructive in character and productive of abiding satisfaction. Most sincerely, President. jifncm FACULTY AI.BERT GARFIELD CARIS, A.M., Litt.D.. Prrsiflenfg Anna B. Sisson Chair of Presidency. MARTYN SUMMERBELL, Ph.D.. D.D., LL.D., Vice Presideizlg Professor-ia!

MEINKE Through four vears of college life, the destinies of the Class of 1928 have been under the interested and helpful guidance of William G. Meinke, professor of history and German. From the early, bewildering freshman days through the self-conhdence of the sophomore period and the hurried rush of iunior activity to the calm assurance of senior ranking, he has been closely associated with the progress of his proteges. He has always been ready with sympathetic understanding of problems and Wise and resourceful advice. Professor lVIeinlce came to Defiance in September, 1922. He obtained the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education from Ohio University, Athens, in 1917, the degree of Master of Arts from Ghio State University in 1922 and has since been a graduate student at Ohio State. He holds the lVfcReynolds Professorship. CLASS OFFICERS 1924-1925 1926-1927 Harold Bailey ................... President Orval Miller .................... President Lloyd Geer .... ....

Phil was the school's premier fiddler and mandolin player. Whenever the boys got to singing under Trowbridge windows on a moonlight night, he was always on deck.

WARD MCREYNOLDS No one has a more intimate first-hand knowledge of Defiance history than '1VVard, as he is familiarly termed. He has been on the campus in one capacity or another most of the time since 1912. Four years as a student and more than ten as a professor have given him opportunity to be closely associated with the development and growth of the college. During his period of professorship, he has constantly been directing the course of some class. Those of 1921 and of 19125 were under his guidance and the Class of 1929 adds a third to his roster of children. This previous experience has enabled him to give the '29-ers much valuable assistance in efficient conduct of class activity and in avoidance of the pitfalls which endanger the uninitiated. Besides being class advisor to 1929, he is chairman of the faculty-student council on fraternities. Professor lVIcReynolds was graduated from Defiance in 1915 with the degree of Bachelor of Arts and from the University of Nlichigan in 1916 with the degree Master of Arts. During 1918 he was in the U. S. Chemical Wa1'fare Service, being stationed at VVashington, D. C. He holds the Alumni professorship of biology.

RUSSLE HINDMAN MACCULLOUGH Mathematics and astronomy are the classroom pursuits of Professor MacCullough, but athletics, track in particular, receive a large share of his attention Five years of his presence on the campus have sufliced to show his vital concern in the course of all college events but he particularly likes to take active part in the conduct of athletic affairs. Y This is his second class family at Defiance, the Class of 1926 having graduated under his care following the leave of absence granted their former professorial guide. Although he has not been connected with the school for as long a period of years as some of the other faculty, the Class of '31 may rest assured that they have in him one who will be sufficient unto every obstacle they may encounter. Professor 1V1acCu1lcugh was awarded the degree of Bachelor of Science at Lafayette in 1895 and that of 1V1aster of Science from the same institution in 1919. He has spent some time in study at Princeton. CLASS OFFICERS Dale Fox ........................ President Clayton Tooley .... ---Vice-President Mildred Merrill .... .......

Through the school year 1907- 1908 it was published as the Dehance College Bulletin, becoming the official bulletin in January, 1908. The first Collegian came out in January, 1909. It was published monthly in magazine form until July, 1916. ln September, 1916, the Collegian rnade its first appearance as a newspaper, in which style it has con-- tinued until the present day. It is now a bi-Weekly publication, edited by members of the journalism classes. The Collegian is a member of the Ghio College Newspaper Association, to which most of the leading college papers of the state belong. It has received a distinguished rating in the publication contest of the National College Press Congress. A news service bureau of the O. C. N. A. furnishes the Collegian with news of other schools.

PETERS f A S19 I . -,mp L00 1.,..'s 1 ORACULUM The first Defiance college annual appeared in 1907, under the title The Junior, the second edition being produced in 1909. The first class to use the name Uraculum was that of 1911, whose book came out in 1910. Since that time a volume of the Oracurlzmz has made its appearance every spring except in 1919 when the Class of ,20 found publication inexpedient due to the pressure of post-War conditions. The task of compiling and editing fell to the Class of 1929 in lVIay, 1927. iWith the editor and business manager elected and the other staff members chosen, the long year of work was commenced. Qnly one who has had intimate acquaintance with the publica- tion of such a volume can have any conception of the enormity of the task. Thanks to the ready assistance of the firms connected with the production, the staff has been able to profit by the experience of others and problems in planning and execution of detail were reduced to a minimum. Consistency has been our aim and with consistency, universal appeal. The uppermost thought in our minds has been the production of a piece of Work to which a college may point with pride. Whether our Work merits credit or Whether we have failed utterly, the proof lies in your hands at the present moment. One of the most significant innovations introduced in this volume is in regard to the designation of the date of publication. Heretofore each class has placed its own numeral on the book which it published, so that had we followed their example, this issue would be U' Frederick Fox, Mary Caris, Philip Jones, Ruth Frankman, John Creager. , 1-Q M qa , , ' 5 - 1 4 A v .

Believing that much confusion has arisen in the past from this custom, and in an effort to hold unwaveringly to its goal of consistency, the staff elected to designate this number as Orrzculum, l7oIunze XXI, With the hope that succeeding classes will see ht to continue with the year of publication rather than with the year of the publishing class. We trust that when our successors produce the next edition, it will bear the title Orarulum 1929. The staff wishes to call attention to the faithful Work of Miss Ruth Gish, a former member of the Class of '29, who, although unable to return to school last fall, gave much time and energy to the production of art sketches. The staff wishes also to thank Miss Dorothy Miller for the production of poetry used in the Joke Section. , The staff is as follows: 'vt Carroll W. Nixon Gordon Noffsinger Robert R.

It first met in a part of what is now the library, later moving into the present Dehance 7. Today the society is located in Philo Hall on the third floor of Tenzer Science Building. Its first motto was Culture, Loyalty, and VVisdomf' The meaning of the name Philomathean as derived from the Greek is lover of wisdom. 'Formerly the society carried on debates and oratori- cal contests with the Athenians. In 1908 began The Plzilorzzzztlzenn, society paper, which until them had been the Trowbridge Hn!! Gazette. 'lQuality, not quantity, is the modern slogan. The colors are scarlet and white and the flower is the car- nation. OFFICERS, FIRST SEMESTER: James H. Denison ...............................

The charter group was composed of twelve members. The membership of the Athenians is greater than that of the Philos. They still cling to their original place of meeting, Athenian Hall, on the second floor of Defiance Hall. The society paper is known as the fltfzenirm Stmzd- zzrzl.

The Young Men's Christian Association is one of the out- standing campus organizations, -its function being the de- velopment of the three-fold life. It has always had a strong influence for the good and its tendency is to produce both leadership and followership. It has been in existence since about 1902 when the college itself underwent a reorganiza- tion. It has year by year included nearly the entire male student body in its membership. In 1907 it contributed S1500 toward the construction of Weston Hall. Definite classes in Bible study were conducted by the Association in earlier years. Meetings are now held in Sisson Parlors and in Y. M. C. A. Hall in Weston Hall. Definite attack and analysis of campus questions with an aim of solution has been the general tenor of discussions. In co-operation with the Religious Association and through the generosity of the college, Y Hall has been remodeled and improved this year.

Begin- ning with a few charter members, it has grown into a large and active organization. Meetings are held in Y. W. C. A. Hall on the third floor of Trowbridge Hall on Sunday evenings. They follow the same general line of endeavor as do those of the men. Joint meetings of the two groups are held periodically. Ten- minute devotional services were held at noon daily through- out Lent under the jo-int auspices of the two Y's. The local Y. W. motto is Live pure, speak true, right wrong, serve the King.

This year the men made a jou'rney East, their third in the past six years. Traveling by motor bus, the club spent two' weeks in Ohio, 'vVest Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, District of Col- umbia, New Jersey and Delaware, presenting thirteen con- certs in that time. A feature of the tour was the visit of the club at the First Congregational Church, Washington, D. C., on Easter morning where the President of the United States was in attendance. The program consisted of three groups and a medley by the club, interspersed with quartette numbers, readings, baritone, soprano and trumpet solos, and a play, Rhyme, But Not Reason, Written for the club by Miss Sexton, dra- matics instructor. Personnel: Cleo V. Resler, director, Martha A. Webb, accompanist, Herbert K. Gavin, manager, Gilbert E. Smith, assistant manager. First tenors: Messrs. Gavin, Smith, Carter, Bleezarde.

Despite the constant sickness which seemed to follow their trail, they completed their schedule of engagements, delighting their audiences and often times surpassing the mark of the men's club of the year before when it performed in the same territory. It is their ambition to make an Eastern tour next year. The club appeared in three groups and a medley arranged by Miss Couch while readings, a trio, a duet, piano and soprano solos formed the remainder of the program. Col- lrge Spirit, by Miss Ethelyn Sexton, was the skit used. Miss Flossie E.

Membership was limited to thirty and placed upon a basis of competitive try-outs. Miss Ethelyn Sexton, professor of dramatics and journalism., is the sponsor. James H. Denison was the first president. The Hrst venture of the group before the public eye took the form of the presentation of three one-act plays, proceeds from which went into the purchase of Hys, drops, and curtains for the auditorium platform. The Gooxe Hazzgs High, by Lewis Beach, was pre- sented before the Homecoming visitors last October 29, from which sufficient funds for the purchase of an interior set were derived. BYRA G.

The losses, however. were costlv ones as far as the Yellowiackets, con- ference championshiip hopes were concerned, for two of them came in important conference games. The return of a fair proportion of this year's veterans will form a good foundation for a great team in '28. SEASONS RECORD September 2-l ....... ....

Stalin is a powerful roving center who backed up the line well. He was the most consistent line- man throughout the season. Cy, a little handicapped hy lack of weight, is a clever blocking back. He has two more years with the team. Amo was the smallest yet scrappiest lineman on the squad.

Although good sportsmen never have alibis. there are reasons for defeats. Despite the fact that only three games were Won out of twenty played, the nucleus of a strong aggregation was founded. The men were nearly all new to each other, only three veterans returning from former seasons when the schedule opened. Another year should see them playing together smoothly and victoriously.

The biggest track event in the history of Northwestern Ohio athletics was held on Covllege Field, May 5, when the Tri-State High School Invitational Track Meet took place. Thirty-one schools entered, Columbus, Ohio, Central winning the meet with 62 points, Columbus East placing second and Toledo Libbey third. The meet was managed and planned by Coach Wilson and L. R. Hirt, Defiance High, coach. Almost the entire male student body assisted in the handling of events. It is planned to have this meet annually.

Baseball for the 1928 season has gotten away to an auspicious start. Coach E. B. Wilson had his battery men loosening up during March and thanks to good Weather before the openers were played, was able to get his squad used to the diamond and ready for action.
