THE ADYTUM NINETEEN HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN Volume Twenty-two Being the record of events at Denison during the year 1914 ■ Published by the CLASS OF 1916 Dr. Richard Steere Colwell, D.D. Dedication To Dr. R. S. Colwell, Professor of Greek and Dean of Denison University, whom we all love and admire, the Junior Class respectfully dedicates this book. 3 Richard Steere Colwell, D.D. ICHARD STEERE COLWELL was born near I J Providence, Rhode Island, just over the state border [ in the Massachusetts village of Hebronville. He re- ' — ceived his preparation for college in the Mowry and Goff Classical School, of Providence, a flourishing institution at that time, but not now in existence. He entered Brown Univer- sity in 1866 and was graduated with the degree of A.B. m 1 870, after winning Phi Beta Kappa and distinguishing himself behind the bat in baseball, a combination of honors in which the ordinary rules of mathematics are set aside and addition be- comes multiplication. He then taught two years in Provi- dence, took the three-year course in Newton Theological Insti- tution, spent a year in Europe, and preached a year. Mean- while, Dr. E. Benjamin Andrews, his classmate at Brown, had become President of Denison, and in the summer of 1 877 President Andrews announced the selection of Richard S. Colwell as Professor of Greek, to succeed Professor William Arnold Stevens, called to the Rochester Theological Seminary. Thus Dr. Colwell will complete in June thirty-eight full years of service in Denison, the longest record of any unbroken pro- fessorship in the history of the College, though all but equaled by that of the Professorship of Mathematics under Dr. Gil- patrick. In 1891 the degree of Doctor of Divinity was con- ferred upon Professor Colwell by Brown University. Conditions and circumstances lead many to go through college without Greek, but no one goes through Denison with- out knowing and respecting Dick. His pupils respect him for his positive, manly bearing and his insistence on honest, persistent and scholarly work in the classroom. Those inter- ested in athletics respect him for his athletic enthusiasm, shown by long and laborious service on the Board of Control, by ad- herence to clean ideals of intercollegiate sport, by presence at the games, and by his own participation in tennis, golf and other healthful athletic pastimes, thus carrying youthful spirit forward into advancing years. And all alike respect him for his practical common sense and strong, vigorous personality; for his fearless adherence to that which seems to him the path of duty ; for the tender sympathy that underlies that adherence to duty, even when in his relations with students or others it may assume a stern exterior; for his broad range of interest and the rich storage of his mind, gathered from literature, from travel and from intercourse with men; for his habit of inde- pendent thought and outspoken opinion, which commands re- spect even when it does not secure acceptance; for his scorn for all that is mean, underhanded and dishonest. In short, for all that has made Dick Dick to many generations of Deni- son students, and in spite of all the trouble which as College Dean he makes for us when we are derelict in college duty, he deserves and possesses our hearty respect and affection. Here ' s three and a tiger for Dick, Dick, Dick! Shout ' em out with a vigor, quick, quick, quick! And long to his post may he stick, stick, stick! 4 Foreword WE, the members of the Junior Class, present this book to its readers as the more or less complete record of a year spent at Denison. We hope it will bring back to all of you, as you look it over now and again years from the present time, memories of your days here. We have had important events to chronicle. For the first time in her history, Denison has sent forth two Ohio Champion ath- letic teams, in the period covered by this book. And we have also the inauguration of Dr. Chamberlain as our Prex last spring to record. We have tried to give you a book worthy of the events which it records. Besides the more important events, it has been our purpose to give a complete picture of all the phases of our college life outside the curriculum. Mistakes we know have been made, but we have done our best, and hope you will judge our work rather by the spirit than by the result. The greatest thanks are due Professors Biefeld and W. • H. Johnson, whose advice and assistance have been invaluable to the management on the preparation of this book. 5 Prex To the Students of Denison It is not the purpose of the College to teach you ways and means and enable you to acquire accomplishments, but to make you acquainted with the strong minds and noble char- acters of the past and present, and lead you to appreciate the thoughts of God put into the atom, the earth and the universe. May the four years spent upon these hill tops give you all the true vision of life. Clark W.

Long Yell Rickety Rack, Hullaballoo, Fifteen, ' D. U. 28 History of the [ ■ 1 HE Class of 191 5 has been an important factor along all lines of activity in Denison during the past four years. Following are a few statements with refer- ence to their mfluence, and they are brief because our class is not given over to the so-called hot-air but rather to brevity and sincerity. Along athletic lines especially has our class been strong. Everyone realizes that the past four years have been the strong- est athletically that Denison has ever seen, and everyone realizes that the Class of 1915 has been directly responsible for that through the efficient coaching of W. J. Livingston. Our athletes won their places in their Sophomore year and have held them ever since. But for 1915, the past two basketball championships and the still glorious football championship might never have been. In the Glee Clubs, Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., and literary societies, members of 1915 have always taken a lead- Class of 1 9 1 5 ing part and are in many ways responsible for the great suc- cess experienced by these organizations. When we entered the institution we were a large class, but business, matrimony, and other schools have enticed many of our number away, so that now we are a very small class compared to our Freshman year. In spite of our small num- bers, or rather because of this, our social activities have been of unusual merit. Never was there a class that has enjoyed such unity and close relationship between the members. When old ' 1 5 drops to her place among the ranks of the Alumni, memory of her surely will not fade with the customary speed of an ordinary class. Not loud in her praises of herself, but working with might and main for our fair college on the hill, 1915 hopes that she has not spent in vain the energies of her undergraduate days. Great men are never appreciated until after their death and then the world misses their efforts and successes. Such may be the fate of 1915. 29 • nYTUM Helen Gilmore, A.B. Newton High 1910. Philo. A C . Glee Club (1, 2, 3, 4). Orchestra (2, 3, 4). Vice Pres. Philo (4). What would we have done without Helen? All through college she has been soothing our savage breasts with her music. No one knows how many massacres and bombardments have been warded off thus. Those who like lo know some one in town have found it great good luck to stand ir wilh our charming subject. Phebe Johnson, A.B. Cherry Hill High 1911. Philo. Street Council (2, 3). Debate (3). House Council (4). Vice Pres. Trans-Mississippi Club (3). Y. W. C. A. Cabinet (4). Class Poet (4). Like a fresh western breeze, Phebe Alice hails from Nebraska, the land of perfect farms. She has worked hard and accomplished much here at school, but her heart is still in the West, where she expects to return for her life ' s work. Walter B. Roach, A.B. Doane Academy 1911. A A T. Roach IS a living example of iht Eaying ' A bad penny always comes back. After graduating from Doane he wandered far from the fold, but came back for his last two years. He looks like a preacher, but expects to po west and be a great engineer some day. Ruth Shaffer, A.B. Brookville High 1911. Euterpe. Street Council (4). Ruth ' s good-natured laush will surely be missed next year. She has kept us all cheerful during her four years here. She tells us she is going lo move to California and her friends wish her all sorts of happiness in her new home. 30 1915 Eri J. Shumaker, A.B. A A T. Sycamore. Rh. B. Franklin Doane Academy 1911. Vice Pres. Y. M. C. A. (3). Assistant in Biology (3, 4). Y. M. C. A. Cab- inet (1, 2, 3, 4). Eri is always busy — perhaps a bit loo busy for his own good. He would rather be a doorkeeper in chapel than dwell in the tents of Shepardson. However, he has shown much versa- tility in the gentle art of fussing. For four years he has made a specialty of meeting new students in Newark. Louise Spivey, A.B. Steele High (Dayton) 1912. Euterpe. Debate (3, 4). Debate Council (4). Street Council (4). Lou IS one of our few Classical students. She has won a large place in the hearts of those who know her. It is true that she often wears a cloak of dignity, but when there is any fun going on, Lou can always suggest one better. William E. Yates, A.B. Broaddus Institute 1911. Franklin. Pastor of Pleasant Valley and Dun- can ' s Falls Baptist Church. Here is one of our practising min isters. In spite of a large family and its attendant needs. Brother Yates has succeeded in maintaining a high standard in all of Wilhe ' s ' courses. He his displayed some oratorical powers but always on the side of con- servatism. Edith Beard, Ph.B. X A. Wilkinsburg High. Euterpe. Sec. Student Government (3). Y. W. C. A. Cabinet (3). Wuzzy ' hails from the Keystone State, which is a fairly sensible place to live. She has seldom made a great noise about the campus, but it is ru- mored that her high spirits are never quite out of reach. We believe that Titian would have been glad to see her in her cap and gown. 31 Horace R. Biggs, Ph.B. A e. Doane Academy 191 I. Var- sity Football (2, 3, 4). Basket- ball (2, 3, 4). Baseball (2, 3, 4). Horace is the biggest man in school for his size. He has surely done his share for Denison athletics. Yet those who know him say his abilities are not all along athletic lines. We hope for him a large place in the world. Margaret Boyer, Ph.B. Bethel Township High 1910. Philo. Street Council (3). Debate Coun- cil (3, 4). Pres. Philo (4). Y. W. C. A. Cabinet (3). Midge IS enjoying a halo while on earth. Wherever her golden locks are seen one may be sure that something IS going on. She can make you believe that black is white if she tries. It must be fine to look so innocent that even the powers that be can t convict you of having a good lime. Hazel Bolin, Ph.B. Z A I . Minneapolis Central High 1911. Thalia. Athletic Asso. Board (1). Pres. Athletic Asso. (4). All-Shepardson Basketball (2, 3). Gymnasium Assistant (3, 4). Y. W. C. A. Cabinet (4). Class Poet (3). Secretary (4). We see in Hazel the spirit of activ- ity. The gym. is not big enough for her, and she applies her energy in other lines of work, teaching her pen to dance for the benefit of literature, etc. She IS the sort of girl who makes a place lonely when she leaves it. Strother a. Campbell, Ph.B. Sam IS one of those big easy- going fellows who never make a fuss and yet always come out on top. But if you are looking for trouble, Sam may help you to find it where you don ' t expect it. He expects to take on a theological course next. 32 E. Howard Davies. r A, e. D.D.D (I, 2, 3). Basket Ball Manager (3). Varsily Track (2). Duffy reached ihe zenilh of his glory during Summer School of 1914, when he raised one of ihose mag- nificent transparent moustaches so much in vogue last fall. He made a bril- liant record as Manager of the Stale Champion Basketball Team. We wish him as much success in after life. Roy B. Deer, Ph.B. A A T. Doane Academy 1912. Sycamore. Rh.B. Calliope. Chair- man ' 16 Scrap Committee (1). De- bate (2, 3, 4). Debate Council (3). Pres. Ministerial Asso. (4). Roy is fond of explanifying lo the brelhren. He can talk (he fastest and weave in the most oralorical phrases of any man who ever studied logic. He graduated from the fusser ' s school while slill in Doane. Alice Eiswald, Ph.B. e T. Mansfield High 1912. Euterpe. Glee Club (I, 2). Debate (3). Debate Council (3). Geology As- sistant (1). English Assistant (3). Real beauties are scarce, and when we find one we like lo keep her as long as possible. Alice has disap- pointed our hopes by finishing our lit- tle curriculum in ihree years. Here- after she will liven up the great sad world instead of us. She played a winning game of hearls while here. Helen England, Ph.B. Zanesville High. Euterpe. Vice Pres. Zanesville Club (4). Glee Club (4). Assistant in Enghsh (4). This is the original Modest Violet. However, she has a giowing tendency toward writing things, which with her Puritan conscience, means righting things in this wicked world. But wci will never be afraid of Helen, even if she slarts a new book for Sopho- more History. 1915 ADYTUM Florence Foster, Ph.B. X SI ' A. Capen School, Northampton, Mass. Euterpe. Glee Club (1, 4). Vice Pres. Y. W. C. A. (3). Vice Pres. H. P. S. A. (4). Sec. Class (2). If you want to know the proper thing to do, go to Floss. By digging about the roots of many good deeds, you will unearth her, far down, calmly think- ing out another fine plan. We don f wear our souls in sight, but everyone knows what Floss ' s is like: a great warm heart, with helping hands grow- ing out as wings. Clarence L. Fox, Ph.B. I ' B K, r A. Steele High (Day- ton). Manager 1914 Adytum. Sec. Athletic Asso. (3). Pres. (4). Student Council (4). Football Manager (4). Basketball Man- ager (4). Pan-Hellenic Council (4). Treas. Y. M. C. A. (4). Foxy is reliability personified. While in school he has held about every kind of job from Treasurer of Y. M. C. A. to Janitor of the foot- ball field, and made good in all of them with a vengeance. We are proud of his executive ability. 34 Olive Grayburn, Ph.B. Doane Academy 1912. Euterpe. Vice Pres. Keystone Club (3). Pres. (4). Here you see the Mona Lisa of our little school, always smiling yet in- scrutable. We think there must be a man in the case, back in dear old Pennsylvania. But in the meantime we must be content to bestow un- requited confidences on our capable friend. Winifred Hamilton, Ph.B. Kankakee High 1911. Euterpe. Pres. Student Government (4). Y. W. C. A. Cabinet (3). Winnie carried such a winning smile through her first three years that she was finally elected to reign over Shepardson. She has governed su- premely, wielding the sceptre of kind- ness and love. Prof. Kull expects to place her law in future History courses as superior to that of the Medes and Persians. 1915 N. EsBURN Hansen, Ph.B. K li, e. Stivers High (Daylon) 1911. Pan-Hellenic Council. Chairman Junior Prom. Committee. Class Secy. (1). Pres. (2, 4). Y. M. C. A. Cabinet (4). Ez IS one of Denison ' s real so- cial leaders, and as such he is a greaf success. He has piloted his class through the important Sophomore and Senior years, too. The Gospel teams value his services highly. We will greatly miss him next year. Josephine Hilliard, Ph.B. 2; A . Newark High 1911. Euterpe. Assistant in English (4). Jo ' s happy giggle may be heard almost anywhere Jo is to be found. In spile of this she is a dignified little. Senior and is one of 191 5 ' s English stars. She has given her loyal sup- port to every phase of college life, and it is with regret that we see her leave. 35 Joseph R. Hoy, Ph.B. West Liberty Slate Normal 1911. Rh.B. Calliope. Pres. Calliope (4). Joe is a ministerial student. If you do not believe this, ask him. He IS wise enough to keep his mouth shut until he has something to say, so he don ' t talk as much as most of us. He is a particular friend of Willie ' s and IS sure to make good. Viola May Johnson, Ph.B. K Z. Doane Academy 1914. Euterpe. Pres. Euterpe (4). Vice Pres. Geological Society (4). Y. W. C. A. Cabinet (3). Secretary (4). Viola IS one of the busiest bodies in school; always doing something for somebody else, yet never too busy to do just one more thing. She must be some relation to a centipede to have accomplished everything she has done. She is game for any good lime, and enters into all college activities, Grace C. Jones, Ph.B. Central High (Columbus) 1909. Euterpe. A O. Glee Club (3, 4). Debate (4). Grace, although a very modest girl, has a winning way about her. She has sung her way through college and we hope that she will have always the same happy and merry disposition. Her correspondence course takes a great deal of her time. John B. Long, Jr., Ph.B. :i X, e. Council Bluffs High 1911. Franklin. Editor 1 9 1 4 Adylum. Ed- itor Denisonion (4). D.D.D. (1, 2). Varsity Cheer Leader (3, 4). Alligator. Class Historian (4). Shorty is just as full of pep as anybody we know. No matter how far ahead or behind Denison may be, Peanut is always on hand wilh a Denison U. He has about as many decorations as a German General. One of the heroes of SO BE IT. Edward P. Mills, Ph.B. K 3. Franklin. Class Pres. (3). Debate Council (3). Debate (3. 4). Varsity Cioss C. (2). Y. M. C. A. Cabinet (3). It is said that the Phi Beta Kappas kept their eye on Eddie during his first two years in school, but they soon gave it up as a bad job. No one would imagine that this shy lad would fuss the Sem, but reports have it that he used to do so in his Freshman year. Robert S. Morris, Ph.B. B 9 n. Franklin. East High (Cleveland). D.D.D. (I, 2, 3). Pres. Franklin (4). Just to look at Bob you might think he was a nut, but he is really much belter than he looks. During the summer months he is a business man, during the winter a quiet stu- dent. He can smell a rough-house four miles away. His greatest pride is Franklin Lit., and his chief recrea- tion dramatics. Wayne C. Overturf, Ph.B. 1 A 0. Newark High. Calliope. Pres. Newark Club (4). AssislanI in Educalion (4). Everybody has been wondering what that title, Assistant in the Depart- ment of Education means, but so far Wayne hasn ' t let out the graft. Wayne IS one of those fellows who is always pleasant and agreeable wilh everyone, and he will leave Denison wilh the best wishes of every person in school. Vivian Perry, Ph.B. Chillicothe High 1911. Euterpe. Vivian Beriha Perry is her name but her friends call her Vid. She has accomplished much in her work in ihe Conservatory, and her talking ma- chine has been the chief delight of the Sem. Whatever she undertakes, Vivian IS an enthusiastic worker, and stands by it to the end. Randolph Rector, Ph.B. Pawtucket High. Franklin. Varsity Track (2). Cross-Country (2, 3, 4). Vice Pres. Franklin (4). As- sistant in English. Y. M. C. A. Cabinet (4). Ask Randy whether his home is Pawtucket or Nantucket. Rhode Is land has produced two great men — Dick and Randy — and they both came to Granville. Randy has shown great fear of the college at the foot of the hill, but he may get over that. Meanwhile, A mans a man for a ' that, and well worth knowing. David E. Reese, Ph.B. P. O II. Doane Acad emy 1911. Al- ligator. D.D.D. (1, 2). Class Pres. (I). Glee Club (2, 3). Pan- Hellenic Council. Varsity Football (2, 3, 4). Captam (4). Basket- ball (2, 3, 4). Baseball (2, 3, 4). Tennis (2, 3, 4). School Tennis Champion (2). Y. M. C. A. Cab- inet (1, 2). Member Athletic Board of Control. R-E-E-S-E spells All-Ohio in about anything you could mention. Dave ' has gained immense renown and kept his mental poise — two great achievements. If there ' s anything do- ing anywhere, look for Dave there. SO BE IT. 1915 ADYTUM Marjorie Rettig, Ph.B. K . Troy High 1910. Philo. AO. Glee Club (I, 3, 4). Vice Pres. Philo (3). Vice Pres. Class (4). Chairman Street Council (4). Marge is one of those girls who can really accomplish a good deal in her college course and be quite a but- terfly at the same lime. She has taken her place in every pari of college life, as her obituary shows. She has never told us what she is going to do. George M. Roudebush, Ph.B. 1 ' , OIL Milford High 1911. Frank- lin. Varsity Football (2, 3, 4). Baseball (2, 3, 4). Captain (4). Tennis (2, 3, 4). Basketball (4). D.D.D. (1, 2). Glee Club 3, 4). Roudy ' is the man with the cheery greeting. He is the one who made the forward pass famous. Denison now passes him on. He should pass in- spection almost anywhere. If you want to find out who ' s boss around here, start something. Edna Schropp, Ph.B. :i A ' l . Sandusky High 1911. Thalia. Vice Pres. Student Gov- ernment (4). Sec. Athletic Asso. (2). Y. W. C. A. Cabinet (4). Many people believe in specializing in one line, but Schroppie ' has spe- cialized in ihem all. Besides being a good student she has won for herself an enviable reputation in athletics. Moreover she is a most proficienJ giggler as all second floor, Stone, can testify. LuciLE Summers, Ph.B. K l ' . Parkersburg High 1 9 1 1 . Philo. A 0. Glee Club (1, 2, 3, 4). Vice- Pres. Class (3). Street Council (3). Chairman Junior Prom. Com- mittee. Y. W. C. A. Cabinet (4). Lucile has come all the way from Oklahoma to a good school and for four years has poured oil on the troubled waters for all unfortunate Semites. She never had a tendency to visit over the week-ends until her last year, when she developed a mama for Newark. 38 1915 A Susan Thresher, Ph.B. A Weslport High (Kansas Gly, Mo.) 1911. Euterpe. Vice Pres. Class (2). Vice Pres. Euterpe (3). Vice Pres. Athletic Asso. (3). Asso. Editor 1914 Adytum. Asso. Editor Denison- ian (4). Teedie hails from ihe Montrez- moi Stale, but contrary lo the usual custom, she has shorvn us the ability characteristic of the near West. She has been active in all lines, and it is with a feeling of great loss that we send her back to dear old Missouri. Herve a. Tribolet, Ph.B. K rS, O. Vermont Academy 1911. Varsity Track (2). Assistant in English (4). Trib used lo be quite a track man, but lately he hasn ' t had much time for athletics — for various reasons. How- ever he is quite a shark in his studies, as is shown by his English Assistant- ship and the fact that it took him only three and one-half years to finish his course here. 39 Irene Tulloss, A.B. Newark High 1911. Philo. Vice Pres. Newark Club (3). After taking first ho nors at Newark High, Irene came over to try her for- tune at D. U. Since her arrival she has been busily filling her record with A ' s, but she is always ready for any fun. Her King Hall friends will al- ways remember the well-filled baskets she brought back after her week-end visits home. Arthur C. Wickenden, Ph.B. H e ir. Toledo High 1910. Alliga- tor. Franklin. Debate (2). De- bate Manager (3). Pres. Y. M. C. A. (4). Pres. Student Body (4), Pres. H. P. S. A. (4). As- sistant in Political Science. Treas. Class (2). Art ' s shoulders are very broad, if the honors he has carried are any crite- rion. He has been mixed up with every form of college activity and al- ways has time for something new. He is also a notable Greek student. ' We expect to hear of ' Wick when our undergraduate days have passed. FlLIMORA WiLGUSH, Ph.B. Hinckley High (Medina) 1910. Philo. Debate (3, 4). Pres. Debate Coun- cil (4). After roaming about among several colleges of Ohio, Filimora came to Denison to finish. She was a girl whom the better we knew the better we liked; always smiling and ready to help. Her skill in debating has made her famous, but in spite of this she does not expect to be a lawyer. Homer B. Adkins, B.S. I A e. Slats hails from Newport, which he says is in Ohio. He is a cheerful fellow with a smile way up in the air. He hasn t decided yet whether his life work will be raising watermel- ons on his perpendicular farm or acting as janitor to a Chemistry lab. Margaret Allen, B.S. Morgan Park High 1911. Thaha. House Council (3). Debating Council (4). Pres. Thalia (4). Assistant in Biology (2, 3, 4). 1 reas. Y. W. C. A. (4). Peggy comes from Chicago. She has a lively interest in the creepy- crawly things of the world and is the patron saint of BZ students. She has left King Hall a legacy of fireside ditties warranted to make the most homesick forget that she had Fresh- man Tears for dessert. Lillian Boggs, B.S. Doane Academy 191 1. Thalia. All- Shepardson Basketball (I, 2, 3). Vice Pres. Thalia (4). Zoology Assistant (2, 3, 4). Sec. Class (3). This young friend of ours comes from Sattenapolle, and can tell more about the natives of India than they themselves could. In fact she can give information and advice on Athletics, Bugs, College, and so on down to Z. But as long as she is jolly, what ' s the difference? 40 1915 A I. Leonard B. Cox, B.S. K 2, : I A. Cairo High. Cal- liope. Glee Club (1, 2, 3, 4). Leader (4). The Glee Club and fussing have been Mandy ' s chief pursuits in col- lege, and it must be admitted that he is unexcelled in both. He is a good- natured gentleman for whom things al- ways seem to be gomg right. We all wish him the best of success in the fu- ture. H. Deming Hopkins, B.S. K 2, M A, A A T. Doane Acad- emy 1911. Calliope. Pres. Cal- liope (4). Treas. Class (3). Or- chestra (4). Besides his accomplishments along the line of Physics, Hoppy is quite a musician. As a Senior he piloted Calliope through a very successful term. We will be sorry to lose him from our midst. However, he looks forward to some nice study at Massachusetts Tech. 41 Leonard G. Howell, B.S. K Ironlon High 1911. Leonard, that quiet unassuming young highbrow from fronton, has al- ready made a name for himself in the engineering profession. He was noted as the bright star of Beefy s Math., also. His appearance might delude you into thinking that he was a Greek scholar. On the contrary, he is a real, sure enough, engineer. Ralph Jones, B.S. ' I ' 1 ' A. Parkersburg High 1911. Varsity Football (4). Basket Ball (2, 3, 4). Captain (4). Tennis. Honor Court (3). Ralph IS the boy who made Par- kersburg, W. Va., famous. Inci- dentally he IS one of the best athletes Denison has seen. He looks small for a basket ball guard, but they say his opponents don ' t think so. He is one of the men of whom Denison may ex- pect the most brilliant success in the future. 1915 ADYTUM Orland B. Kirk, B.S., M.S. Sycamore. Rh.B. Franklin. Var- sity Relay (2). Track (3). As- sistant in Geology (I). Assistant in English (2). Now — at Cornell — . O. B. is not as slow as he looks, for he won a nice aluminum cup at Philadelphia two years ago, you remember. He is a very studious bud, too. He gets his B.S. degree and his Master ' s at the same lime. May the Myrtle crown his wearied head. Jacob Henry Knapp, B.S. I r A. Parkersburg High 1911. As- sistant in Engineering (2, 3, 4). Jake is the patriarch of student assistants, having helped boss the Engineering Department for three years. Like most civil engineers, Jake is a most accomplished fusser. Carey P. Moore, B.S. V arsity Tennis (2, 3). Track (3). Assistant in Zoology (2, 3, 4). Y. M. C. A. Cabinet (3). Kip is especially interested in the sciences, tennis-ology, bug-ology, and fuss-ology. At home — South China — Sept. 1, 1919 is a notice to be ex- pected. Since Carey is so unassum- ing, we hope the readers will not di- vulge his secret. Ernest H. Morris, B.S. A 9. Springfield High. Orchestrr. (3, 4). Pres. Trans-Mississippi Club (4). Assistant in Bacteriology (3). Zoology (4). Pinkey is quite a basketball shark in a way. During the last two years he has had a hard time avoiding the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals because of his activity as a vivisectionist in the Zoology De- partment. 42 1915 AD Howard C. Nelles, B.S. r A. Doane Academy 1912. Glee Club (2, 3, 4). D.D.D. (2, 3, 4). Nelly is one of ihe real musicians about school. He had ihe reputalion of being a reserved youlh until Senior Psych, got the belter of his taciturnity. Bets are being made as to how much longer Howard ' s single blessedness will last. AsBURY L. Odebrecht, R.S. I A e. East High (Columbus). D.D.D. (2). Baseball (3). Little Ody will probably be quite a man when he gets his growth. He took one year ' s work at Ohio State and then lit out for Denison. In his aspirations to be an athlete he has been continually aided by good luck; in fact, sometimes he seems to have a corner on horseshoes. 43 Edgar W. Owen, B.S. Marietta Academy 1912. Franklin. Pres. Geological Society (3). As- sistant in Geology (2, 3). Ed IS the lengthy man from the town down on the Ohio River. He is a rough-house expert. All of his serious work has been done in Dr, Carney ' s department. He is also some apple fancier. He is completing his college course in three years, although he ought to know belter. Charles W. Prine, B.S. Charlie is one of those modest fel- lows who doesn ' t care for a long write- up. Perhaps he feels that he is long enough anyway. He is one of those who has helped to feed the deers at Shepardson Commons. Gluck auf, Charles ! ADYTUM Virginia Putnam, B.S. Thalia. All-Shepardson Basketball (I, 2). Captain (1). Debate Council (2,3). Pres. (2). Vice Pres. Thalia (2). Pres. Y. W. C. A. (3). Putty is going through school in three years, as her pedigree shows. She is one of the Domestic Science Hall Seniors, and from all re- ports training along this line will be very helpful in her future. Y. W. C. A. has found a big place in her sched- ule this year besides many other activi- ties. Harriet Stoddard, B.S., Home Economics. Newburgh Academy 1909. Euterpe. Harriet is a rather quiet and demure person and is very fond of Denison, but they tell us that she is vitally in- terested in Rochester also. And when once the young heart of a maiden is stolen, the maiden herself will steal after it soon. Abigail Rowley, B.S. East Liverpool High. Thalia. Glee Club (1). Vice Pres. Geological Society (3). Vice Pres. Y. W. C. A. (4). Cabinet (3). A fresh Gail blew down the Ohio and landed Abby at Denison. She began her career by searching among the rocks of the Archezoic period, and after four years ' work finally reached the Lithosphere of Granville. She has a reputation for making A ' s, advising Freshmen, and attacking the Deutsch language. Henry S. Stout, B.S. Z X, e. Steele High (Dayton) 1911. Pen-Hellenic Council. D.D.D. (1. 2). Henry has dabbled considerably in Chemistry ; has shown quite an affinity for a certain crimson coat; and has proven the fact that it is possible for a man to absorb about a package of Mail Pouch a day and still make a success of his college course. 44 1915 Al F. Henry Venn, B.S. Sycamore. Maiden High 1910. Franklin. Varsity Track (3). Pres. Student Volunteers (4). Pres. B. Y. P. U. (4). Gymnasium As- sistant (3, 4). Henry has a penchant for Xenia, also for the gymnasium and for ihe campus (both kinds). He is some- times seen in the vicinity of D. S. H. All the wisdom of ihe East is stored up here in small compass. Henry is fond of music; in fact, he leads the Student Volunteer Band. JuDSON B. Walker, B.S. A e, I ' M A. Toledo High 1910. Franklin. Glee Club (2). Y. M. C. A. Cabinet (3, 4). Jud is the boy who can surely tickle the ivories some, huh? He proved it to the satisfaction of the Glee Club one year, too. He is also a Gospel Team enthusiast. We wonder whom he is interested in. 45 John S. Ward, B.S. Franklin. John shines especially in the Lead- er ' s Class, where he plays the pari of Hercules. He can also cut quite a figure at wailing table. There are ru- mors lhat Commencement will not long precede John ' s departure from bach- elordom; however, it ' s hard to tell, Russell H. Willia ms, B.S. P. e rr. Kalamazoo High 1911. Var- sity Football (2, 3, 4). Glee Club (I, 2, 3, 4). Leader (3). D.D.D. (1, 2, 3). Chairman W. B. Com- mittee. Manager Baseball (4). Rox IS a representative college man. He has a voice which spells his fortune, but alas! never again can il be recognized by an extra candle placed in a certain window when he begins his solo part. Rox is a hard plunger in anything he undertakes. 1915 ADYTUM Clyde C. Wilson, B.S. Sycamore. Doane Academy 1909. Engineer in Heat and Light Plant. His heart is situated in Toledo, hence the absent look on his face. Clyde has succeeded in completing his college course and keeping the dorms at about twenty-eight degrees all at the same lime. He is reputed to be quite a Math, shark, too. Marie Lyon, Art 2 A ! . Euterpe. Charleston High 1911. When Marie can ' t be located any place else, look in the Studio. There she applies her brush and charcoal with much vengeance. However, in warm weather she can be found at va- rious places on the campus sketching famous landmarks. Paul V. Wooley, B.S. Galveston High. Franklin. P. V. is small, but ihe quality is good. He also takes his degree in Mashology. He is quite a baseball pitcher, and is artistically inclined. He is good in Physics, but not strong on Geography. He is an agent of no mean ability. He has the worried look of a married man. Auf wiedersehn! Ruth Pence, Art Hebron High 1911. Euterpe. Ruth doesn ' t spend enough of her time with us, so we don ' t know her very well. She seems to have a keen interest in Hebron and Columbus. 46 1915 AD . Blanche Putnam, Art Newark High 1913. Philo Blanche is one of ihe most ac- complished girls you ever heard of. She paints both canvas and china, and makes baskets and various other practical things. Her time is divided between Granville and Newark. Mabel Metz, P lano Newark High 1912. Euterpe. A ( ). Mabel started out her college work with the class of ' 16, but the Conserva- tory work attracted her and she found her calling in the line of music. Constance Cheney, Piano K Morgan Park High 1912. Thalia. A 0. Glee Club (1, 2, 3). Constance is a Denisonian both by present connections and by ancestry. Her charming personality is fed on music and exercised by frequent walks about Granville. This manner of life must be very pleasant, and some of us who take unsavory ologies and have BZ lab until 5:30 envy her. Edith Shreve, Voice K Balcourt Seminary 1910. Philo, A (). Glee Club (1,2, 3). Hark, hark, the lark at heaven ' s gate sings, only this time it ' s at Den- ison, which is next best. Edith has been thrilling at our souls for some time, and we hope that her influence will last until she comes back to visit us. 47 j15 ADYTUM Eva Wright, Ph.B., Organ A ). Granville High 1911. Eva is a native product of Granville, and she bids fair to make us all proud of her. She has already made her debut as a musical composer. Her interest this year has been in leading the members of A to greater heights of art. Besides this Eva has distinguished herself in the short story course and as a keeper of pets. Hazel Fairbanks, Home Economics A I . Holland High 1913. Euterpe. Street Council (2). Through all kinds of weather we meet Hazel ' s smile, and we have often wondered about the reason for it. But judging from the course she is taking, we fully appreciate her view- point and hope that her smile will never wear off. Hazel DeWitt, Home Economics X 4 ' A. Norwalk High 1912. Euterpe. Hannie has been at D. U. only two years, but in that time she has ac- quired enough culinary knowledge to make the average man have dreams for a week. Wherever she goes you may hear her cheerful laugh and even if it is to BZ lab, she always says she has had Some time! ' Helen Longsworth, Home Econom- K Lima High 1912. Euterpe. ' Longy came down from Lima to ke ep up a family record at Denison. Under the supervision of Mrs. Finley she has learned to cook and sew a fine seam. Her puns will be missed next year. 48 1915 hu i Dorothy McCann, Home Economics X -V A. Steele High (Day Ion) 1912. Euterpe. Vice Pres. of Class (2, 3). Y. W. C. A. Cabinet (3). Here is one who is the essence of domesticity and sociability, a happy combination, as the cook-book says. The man, woman or child who is not enrolled already among Dot ' s fol- lowers, should apply at once, for she will not be with us next year. And a loss indeed it will be for everyone when our mutual friend leaves us. 49 1915 ADYTUM Senior|Poem Class Fifteen ' s banner wide we fling, Both far and near her praise we sing. Among us now are some whom Fate Has destined to be truly great. There may be doubt, there may be fears. There may be toil through long, long years. But spite of care and toilsome grind. Each one success will surely find. When his high purpose to fulfill, He learns to say, I can and will. We can, we will m all we do. We can do right, we will be true, We will do that which to us falls. And ever answer duty ' s calls. And Alma Mater dear, to thee Fifteen will ever loyal be. 50 Junior Class Officers Gloyd T.

As our numbers have diminished, our value has increased ac- cordingly, for such specimens as ourselves are exceedingly rare in the world. Yet we are not of the sort that is kept under glass cases. Great vigor appeared early in the first year, and continues even to the present day. The Sophomores surprised us at first, and secured quite a little hair before we got started. However, when the day for the Scrap came, we showed them that one year ' s start was not enough. A little originality made us take down the obsolete flagpole with ' 15 ' s banner on it, intending to put up a good one the next year. After winning this flag rush in record time, we let the Sophomores win the day according to tradition. Our Freshman Stunt was not marred by rain, the very elements recognizmg our value. In our Sophomore year we inaugurated a new kmd of flag rush, but it gave too much advantage to the Freshmen, so we lost and the style was not contmued. However, we won the football game and outpulled the weightier Freshmen m the Tug-of-war. We then took up the Football Banquet and 53 Class of 1916 decreed that it should be an annual custom for the Sophomore Class to manage this affair. In the spring we engaged in the last Class Scrap. A very enjoyable party was held in the East Dorm, where eggs and water predommated m the refresh- ments. When this party was ended at 12:30 we left with a feeling of sorrow, although we could not foresee that we would never witness another affair of the kind. Last May, when Dr. Chamberlain was inaugurated, the Class of ' 1 6, then Sophomores, were given charge of the deco- rations for the Inaugural Banquet in Swasey Gymnasium. Beech limbs and dogwood blooms were used to bank the walls on the first floor, while beech and spirea were used in the railing of the gallery. All day on the day before the Banquet the boys worked bringing in the branches, and at five o ' clock on the next morning nearly the whole class was on hand to do the final decorating. Several members worked to get the tables ar- ranged even while the exercises were going on up on the hill. And the next Saturday the boys met and cleaned up the entire decorations which we had placed. It is not nearly so hard to prepare for an event as to clean up after it, but 1916 showed its thoroughness by finishing its part at once. 1915 ADYTUM We have always been a sensible class. When winter comes we put on our warm blue-and-gold toques and remam safe and well until spring. We dislike incongruous trappings. Perhaps that is because 1916 has no need of monogrammed crutches or peppermint canes to support her dignity. We like feasts and good cheer, as they will tell you at Alexandria, where many a fowl has been slain for our sake. Best of all, we are a very amicable class, and we never quarrel. Wherever you see an activity progressing, you may be sure that there is a Junior behind it, making it go. Our class seems to have a special contract to furnish notewort hy examples for the school in every line of work. Some of our number are heroes on the Big Red Team, and represent Denison ' s future hope. This year the Junior Banquet was one of an ethereal nature. It was eaten in spirit only, for after we had planned definitely to fulfill the old custom, a great need was called to our attention, and we sent our pink ice cream to feed the refu- gees from the war-stricken regions. Perhaps some Belgian boy will swallow a portion of the Denison Spirit that went with the sacrifice, and it will lead him to America and our Alma Mater. As a monument of this year, the third in our life at college, we leave the Adytum, which will preserve the memories of the people and school you knew, as it was in the time when its scribes wore Blue and Gold. We are the Juniors, the Class of 1916. Look at us well, for the next time you see us we will be Seniors. Oh, come all ye Freshmen and all ye Sophomores, too. Come all ye Seniors and Alumni of D. U. Take off your hats, boys, as we go marching by. For we ' re the Class of ' 1 6 and the best you can ' t deny. 54 1915 A Clyde S. Adams, Newark, Ohio. Chemistry.

History of the Class of 1917 A NOTHER year has slipped by and we stop to look at what we have accomplished. We have a past full of achievements to look back upon. The Fall of 1913 saw us enter Denison, a mighty class, willing to work, and one which has shown itself loyal and true. One day that Fall the annual Freshman-Sophomore scrap occurred. Some of our men experienced a little too much of the creek that day, but they decided never to let that occur again. If you were to look in our memory books, you might find a grain of corn, well soaked by the rain which fell at our first class stunt, and springing up into tender memories of that same stunt. If mud could be kept as a reminder, you would certainly find some of that left from our Spring stunt at the Old Town Spring. Nineteen-fourteen finds us back, ready to work, striving to advance the standard of old Denison, giving and getting what we can. Since we were not permitted to have a scrap this year, we tried to show our spirit in some other way. Ac- cordingly the whole school was invited to witness our football game with the Vassar Vets. Various characters were im- personated in an original manner. Strange to say, the mute representative of ' 18 made no outcry, even when he was plunged in the waters of Raccoon. The members of the Class af ' 18 very evidently believed in Safety First. After this we went to Cat Run for our Fall Stunt. Later we met in Doane Gymnasium for another stunt, at which we learned each other ' s first names. But our main claim to distinction rests in our canes, which you see walking around with the men of our class. We be- lieve in leading, not following, hence these novel insignia. The scarlet and grey caps which you see mark the wearer a$ one of our number. So you can see that we have been making history, history whose effects will be seen in the years to come.

But Autumn ' s skies and wealth of beauty caused a thrill That promised much to those who ne ' er had seen her store. From Doane ' s bright ivyed walls, from Barney ' s windows broad, We gazed upon a glory that left us almost awed. O ' er a varied earth all bright with leaves of red and green. Old Winter crept with noiseless tread and magic hands. Leaving the land all wrapt in cloak of brightest sheen; With ice-bound lakes and streams like long and silvery bam With dark green pines and shrubbery decked in purest white; ' Twas then King Winter filled our hearts with new delight. When earth once more awoke with April ' s rain a- falling. From Licking ' s hills a song of welcome gaily rose. In every wood, from every field, blithe Spring was calling, And Nature would ' mid softest green her charms dispose. To June with all her fairies, allegiance true we swore. Thinking an earth more perfect could never be in store. Yet not this endless round of beauty has expressed The deep-felt spirit which we know at Denison. A nameless something dwells in every loyal breast, A longing wish to be her honored son. ' Tis this that e ' er inspires her children young and old And joins them with a bond that each will ever hold. 74 5 ADYTUM Freshman Class Officers Harvey D.

U. 1915 History of the Class of 1918 SAST Fall finished a splendid vacation for the Class of 1918 and ushered us into school with the enthusi- ' asm which has remained with us. Denison and Granville were shown to us at their very best this Fall, in honor, of course, of ' 1 8. So far we have been accused of violating numerous tra- ditions. The first and greatest offense was the prohibition of the Class Scrap, but this was hardly our fault. It made the Freshman-Sophomore football game all the more interesting. This game was an honor to the Class of 1918. It showed the stuff we are made of and the outcome mattered little — the playing was the thing. 7 here was at least one honored tradition which we up- held. We tried to hold our Freshman stunt in the rain, and we succeeded. However, this did not dampen our spirits, al- though it did our clothes, and it caused us to get better ac- quainted. The breakfast at Arbutus Ridge was one of the happiest times this year, due partly to the fact that it occurred on one of the most perfect days of a perfect Fall. So far this has been such a happy and prosperous year for the Class of 1918 that the greatest thing we could wish for would be that every year would be just as successful. 77 5 ADYTUM Freshmen 1915 Fresh men Top Row— F.

Livy, during the time he has been at the head of our athletics, has made a record of which any coach m the state might well be proud. From mediocre teams struggling to mamtain a fair position among the middhng teams, he has put us at the top of the best teams in the state. For two succes- sive years we have had the undisputed championship of the state in basketball, while in football he has gradually been developmg his teams until this year he has attained that pinnacle for which he has been striving, the football championship. Dr. Hunt last year made the statement, What I con- sider one of the greatest goods I ever did for Denison was when I secured Walter J. Livingston to head our athletics. Livy by the wonderful strength of his character and his intense enthusiasm in all our teams has made himself the idol of every man in Denison. Coonie In the short time Professor Coons has been at the head of our managerial department we have made rapid strides to the front. His ability in obtaining for us recognition from the schools about us, both large and small, has been indeed re- markable. Our schedules have been arranged so that the various teams were met in the order of their strength and abil- ity. His keen perception has been noted in all his results con- cerning the procuring of dates with as many schools as possi- ble, yet not overworking the men. The championship teams of which we are justly proud, were able to acquire their suc- cess through his keen foresight in management. Everything in his power has been done for the comfort of the various teams. Manager Coons has obtained among the other managers of our state an enviable reputation, in that he stands for a square deal in everything. We are justly proud of Coonie and hope for his con- tinued and enlarged success as head of our managerial de- partment. 89 Tun Denison Athletics A LTHOUGH the glorification of old Denison and ' the maintenance of her proudest traditions must always be among the leading purposes of our ath- letics, there is yet a deeper significance attached to the labors of those students who strive for success in the various branches of competitive sport. Our teams do not represent the present University alone — in a broader sense they represent the en- tire Alumni body of the University, and wherever regional Alumni organizations are found, there will also be found loyal hearts which look with pride on the achievements of the Big Red teams and who share with those at the University the hopes and fears which attend each athletic season. The deeds of our teams and the example and teaching of their heroes are a constant aid and inspiration to all sons of Denison. This is a fact to be constantly borne in mind by those who are now in the college. Whatever is done by us along athletic lines is done not for ourselves alone, but for others. 90 91 1915 ADYTUn The Football Championship I8OOTB ALL at Denison in 1914 entered upon the bright ascen- J dency of a new era. For the first time in history, Denison won fthe championship of the Ohio Conference. Denison had three men universally selected by Ohio sport critics on the mythical AU-Ohio eleven, and furthermore Denison was recognized as one of the most perfect exponents of the new forward pass and lateral pass game in the Buckeye State. In achieving these prized successes the Big Red team opposed the best football teams of Ohio with the possible exception of State and Mt. Union. It was a team that fought till the last minute. In fact many of the games were won in the final fleeting minutes of a desperately con- tested hour of football battle. Denison ' s first championship football eleven in the Ohio Conference was composed of eleven well-trained ath- letes. The team had an exceptionally strong backfield, one of the greatest in Ohio ; but the line was weak between the ends and the center, in comparison to the rest of the team. Perfection of the open style of play was the reason for a Deni- son success. Coach Walter J. Livingston earnestly groomed his men in the various new methods of attack. His proteges attested their ability to put the advice of the sterling leader into practice by making consistent gains with his plays. Here are the season ' s results: Oct. 3 Denison 0, Cincinnati 13; at Granville Oct. 10 Denison 20, Oberlin 0; at Oberlin Oct. 1 7 Denison 20, Ohio U. 0 ; at Granville Oct. 24 Denison 33, Otterbein 12; at Westerville Oct. 3 1 Denison 1 6, Wesleyan 7 ; at Granville Nov. 7 Denison 40, Marietta 0; at Granville Nov. 14 Denison 40, Miami 33; at Oxford Nov. 2 1 Denison 1 4, Reserve 0 ; at Cleveland Total: Denison 183, Opponents 65 In the initial contest of the gridiron season Denison was defeated by Cincinnati. The Big Red eleven on the day of this disaster failed to exhibit any of the power that was evident in the succeeding games. It was the first game, and Denison was not yet in condition to con- tend with one of the most able of Ohio teams. One week later im- provement was evinced in a victory over Oberlin, 20-0. Ohio was defeated by the same score the next Saturday at Granville. Otter- bein gave us a good game but failed and then came Wesleyan. As in the games of yesteryear, the old Denison- Wesleyan fight- ing spirit was in evidence. A perspective of previous Wesleyan and Denison games gave Denison the best prospects of victory. But it was only in the last quarter, after Wesleyan had scored the first touchdown, that the Big Red eleven awoke to the exigency and scored two touchdowns and a field goal in the waning ten minutes of a bril- liantly fought contest. Marietta was disposed of with slight exertion, although it must not be said that they had a subordinate team, as they had not been defeated prior to the Denison loss. The best game of the entire year was the contest against Miami. This was considered by many capable judges as the most spectacular game they had ever witnessed and possibly the most dramatic ever staged in the Buckeye State. Upon this contest, which was played at Oxford, depended the championship of the Conference, as Miami had previously defeated Mt. Union, Denison ' s nearest and most-respected competitor. This 92 1915 game was a concrete illustration of Denison persistence and nerve. Never, with the exception of a time in the first quarter, was Livings- ton ' s team in the lead till the final period — but it was the final quarter that counted. Denison went to work in this last division of the game with the score 27-20 against her. In the coucluding twelve minutes of the quarter, after Miami had scored first, the Big Red eleven placed the oval behind Miami ' s goal-line three times for a total of twenty points. Forward passing, lateral passing, and sensational open field running won the day for Denison. Reserve played consistently but could not hold Denison on sev- eral occasions with distressing results to their cause. This last game settled the championship of the Conference on Livingston ' s team. 1 he Conference standing based on percentage alone, was : Played Won Lost Pet. Denison 6 5 1 .833 Mt.

In offensive strength the team was unsurpassed in Ohio, but the tackles and guards were too light for the rest of the team. Some- times the line held well, but the forwards did not parallel the power of the backfield. Many men on the team achieved unique distinction because of their rare abilities. Nelson Rupp has been lauded as the greatest college halfback in Ohio and one of the best in the country. Carl Thiele, left end, was recognized similarly for his work in that department. He could make the best teams in the college world. Reese, center and Captain of the eleven, was generously applauded for his work in the middle of the line. He was accorded an All- Ohio position without dissension. Roudebush must also be recognized as the best fo rward passer in Ohio and one of the best in college football. Forty-five yards was his longest completed pass in a game, but a sixty-yard one squirmed out of the receiver ' s arms in the Miami fray. But the Ohio Conference football championship never would have been won by Denison if these unusual players had not exempli- fied the teachings of Coach Livingston and had not co-operated with the other men who played regularly or subbed to heighten the honor of Denison on the football field. The Big Red eleven was great as a team of players and great as a group of gentlemen. 93 run - REESE— Our All-Ohio center is some center in every game. He makes his man look as if he had been shot at and hit. Dave is one of those rare men who are all over the field at once. He is always wilh the ball and is a shark at getting or breaking up forward passes. They say that no man is indispensable, but it will be some job to find a man who will do the work that our captain has done. LADD — Laddie, the captain of our next football champ team, is the best little quarter we have had around this neck of the woods for some time. He has a head on him that would be a credit to Napoleon, and he uses it to the best advantage. He can handle punts with the best of them, and it is a real privilege to see him tackle. It is a mighty good thing that we will have him with us next year. p ypp — Nocky IS without peer in the football world. He was a unani- mous choice for All-Ohio halfback and he is only a Sophomore. If he keeps up the pace he has set himself, he should make All-American before he gradu- ates. He always gains; the man who could stop Nocky on the open field or any other place was some player. He will shine for us for two more years. THIELE— Our little Dutch made All-Ohio end, and he well deserved the honor. He has no peer in the art of receiving forward passes, from which he scored many a touchdown. As a de- fensive end he was a tower of strength; it took some tall hustling to get around him. We are mighty thankful that he will be on our team in 1915. 94 ROUDEBUSH— We are very much afraid that Roudy will be drafted by the Germans to throw their 42 cm. shells for them, for he sure does put a lot of push behind his passes and hits the mark every jime. Beyond the shadow of a doubt, he is the best passer in this or any other state, and moreover he can carry the ball with the best of them. We will miss him at left half next year. WILLIAMS— Rox was our util- ity man this year. He played at tackle or at fullback, and he played both posi- tions well. When he carried the ball he was sure of a substantial gain, and at tackle he stopped everything that came his way. He is built close to the ground and travels over it like a shot. ' Rox IS a Senior and will be missed next year. BIGGS— Big gsy ' was one of the mainstays on the line again. The op- posing tackle always had a lot of trou- ble with him, for he is big and husky, and uses his weight to the best ad- vantage. Very few plays got through him this year, and we hate to see him go. It will take a mighty good man to fill his shoes. [ JONES— J onesie ' s first and last year of Varsity football was a decided success. At quarter he played a fine game, always using his team to the best advantage without working them to death. When he carried the ball he was always good for a gain. Through center was his special play. 95 1915 ADYTUM BROCK — Babe as a running mate for Dutch at end was a wonder. His defensive and offensive work were fine. The word block became synonymous with Brock. He is fast, heady, and a very fine player. We can rejoice that he will be playing there again next season. WILLIS— Monk is always a re- liable player. His knowledge of foot- ball, with his weight and determination, made him one of the best linemen that we have had in a long time. He was sure to take care of himself -and others in the scrimmages. It is a good thing that he will be here another season. MARSH — Nasty played his regu- lar position at guard again this year in the same steady and reliable manner that he played it last season. There was this difference though — that he played it a whole lot better, which was going some. When a hole was needed, he could be relied upon to open it up. He will be a very valuable man on the Varsity next year. STANKARD — With Stank at guard the opposing players did not work so well. He made good this year by his steady, reliable playing. We know that he will be there when he is needed, and next year ' s team will find him a big help. 96 CLARY — One of (he Sophomores who made good ihis year with a ven- geance was Dick. All through the season he played a steady, consistent game at guard. This year ' s experience will make him all the belter man for the two years that he has yet to serve the team. HICKMAN— Hick is a born foot- ball player. He has always delivered the goods at the fullback job. He is a hard, plucky player and a good line plunger. We knew that when Hick took the ball he would make a good gam before he was downed. He is a Junior, so we will see him again. BARRINGTON— Sam won h.s his first D this year and surely de- serves one. One of the heaviest men on the squad, with lots of vim and bull- dog tenacity, Sam was truly a tower of strength to the line. Many an op- posing back has failed to gain through him. SMITH — Smittie played a mighty good game for Denison at the guard position. He is not very big, but he surely was ihere when it came to stop- ping bucks through that position. He was good, too, on the offensive, for he could turn his man in or out when the lime came. We can count on him for next year. 97 MANAGER FOX— Fox is a bom manager and as Student Manager of an athletic team has no equal, unless it be former manager Babb. Foxie knows how to stretch a nickel and yet show the team all tht luxuries of a traveler ' s life. 3 ADYTUM SCHOCK — Lee was unfortunate lh:s year, in having his leg hurt so seriously in the Otterbem game that he had to stay out the rest of the season. How- ever, Livy recommended him for a letter and we surely are all glad to see him get it. COACH LIVINGSTON — This year has seen the best team that Livy has ever turned out. In spite of handi- caps, he built up a champion team from material that was, with a few exceptions, just about average. This is a real test of ability and it certainly showed the stuff that is in the man. Livy is the embodiment of the spirit of Denison athletics. We take off our hats to the best coach in the state. 98 1915 ADYT!

For the second consecutive time, Uenison s big Ked qum- tet has surpassed all contemporaries in the annual struggle between the col- leges of the Buckeye State, for honors on the basketball floor. The title was brought here in _ the season of 1913 and has been reposing blissfully along with numerous other trophies, within the confines of Cleveland Hall. So agreeable were the surroundings, that Mr. State Basketball Pennant de- cided to retain his abode for another year at least. Why did Denison win the championship? Any person who had the privilege of watching the team in action would not be so rude as to ask that question. The reason was self-evident. Denison outclassed all other teams in the state so far that after the first six games had been played there was practically no doubt of our state championship possibilities. Enormous scores were amassed during the Captain Prouty CenUt season. Sixteen contests were staged with Ohio colleges; only one was lost. Our old stumbling block, Ohio State, secured five more points than Denison, in a game waged in Colum- bus before an excited audience in ... which were two hundred loyal Denisonians. Some spectators are of the opinion that the game more resembled football than basketball, however, State won 27 to 22. But we avenged ourselves by defeating Wesleyan and Oberlin by wide mar- gins. It is possible that the team had gained too much self-confidence by the time State appeared on the schedule, and a loss at the hands of the Scarlet and Grey basket- tossers tended to whip the squad into shape to win the championship; anyway that was the result. It was a team of tried veterans which started to win laurels for the Red when the season opened, with one ex- ception; rhiele, a Sophomore, played his first season, suc- cessfully filling the vacancy created by the graduation of Thiele, Forward Rupp during the previous summer. The squad was remarkably versatile. Whether on the offensive or de- fensive, their rapid play was an enigma to opponents. Once the ball was in possession of the Big Red team, five men knew exactly how they were going to score a basket, and almost inevitably the ball would trickle through the meshes as a result of some excellent pass- work. Unquestionably the best game of the season was played with a professional team. This was none other than the far-famed Buffalo Ger- mans, sometimes spoken of as the best aggregation of basketball players performing on the court. But they could not master five de- JONES, Guard DYTUn Guard termined members of best Ohio college team, h was the most brilliant and scientfically played game of the entire year and it resulted in a 52 to 38 tnumph for Denison. Under the leadership of Prouty at center, the Big Red qumtet surpassed the efforts of our time-honored enemy, Ohio Wesleyan, at home and abroad. Oberlin was forced to accept an ignominous defeat on her own floor, 42 to 23. Many others of the best Ohio teams, such as Cincinnati, Ohio U., and Wooster. were bested by large majorities. During the season Denison scored 897 points in college games, com- pared with 310 for her opponents, an average of 1 and 2-5 points per minute of play.

How- jmx of some sort seemed to be on the track of the team throughout the entire season. At times the jinx ap- peared to have been buried, only to rise again in the next hard- fought game. Bats were broken, ankles hurt in practice, eligibility rules entered the field, and most games were lost by one run. After only a few days of outdoor practice, the team made a trip to Athens which resulted in a three-to-three tie, the game bemg called in the fourth inning on account of rain. Mus- kingum was then defeated at home on a muddy field. Black drivmg in the winning run in the ninth with a pretty single to right. Miami stopped in Granville long enough to trade us the first of two games for a beautiful jinx, Denison getting the jmx. Livy sprang a surprise by sending Adams to the mound in this game. Babe pitched big league ball up to the seventh, when Miami scored four runs. Biggs then went in and pitched air-tight ball the rest of the game, but Miami won 7 to 6. The second game with Miami, at Ox- ford, they also took, by the score of 7 to 0, Pierce pitching wonderful ball. Kenyon for the first time in two years defeated us. Schweg held them to two hits, but poor baserunning lost us the game 1 to 2. The team which came up from the muddy waters of the Ohio was sent back to Marietta with the smaller end of an 1 1 -to-0 score, and the jinx seemed to be gone. But the next game showed that it was right on the job. Woos- ter 3, Denison 2. Strong hitting featured the next game at Akron. Black poled out two doubles, Matty got a three-bagger, and Dave knocked a home run over the fence in the first half of the tenth, giving us a one-run lead. Akron came back in her half of the tenth, and got two men on before Thomas followed Dave ' s example. Akron 5, Denison 4. j We took Otterbein across 4 to 3, but shortly afterwards Wesleyan handed us a 6-to-7 defeat and a little later another 5-to-7. Yoakum stepped into the box against Oberlin, and helped to send them home with the little end of 5 to 4. Wittenberg defeated us in a fast game 8 to 7, while State came over and beat us 7 to 0, and a while later Ohio U. came back with a postponed game and we lost 0 to 3. The Alumni being all that was left, the team took its spite out on them by driving in 16 runs while the boys of former days were gathering one. 109 1915 ADYTUM CAPTAIN SCHWEGMAN— Schweg was not up to his old-time form due to some torn ligaments in his throwing arm. At times he showed flashes of that old south-paw whip, but the strain was too much. He pitched fine ball in the Kenyon game and de- served to win, only allowing Iwo hils. However, he was forced to watch the game from the bench the most of the season. BIGGS— The mainstay of the pitch- ing staff fell upon the shoulders of Biggsy. He was called upon on many occasions to put a crimp in a slugging rally or plug it up before it began. Biagsy surely has some smoke and he should be in true form this year. BURRER— Blondy is the man who put the swiftness in speed. The way he galloped around the bases would make a hare look sick. He covered all his territory in the outfield and some- limes helped the other boys. He was the man picked to head ihe batting list because of his dependable manner of reaching first. MARSH — Nasty was the only new man to receive a sweater. His playing in the right garden was steady, and when he came to bat it was generally conceded that he would get a hit be- tween first and second. How he won the first game with Ohio, or rather how he kept them from winning, is one of his favorites. MATTHEWS— Matty was the hardest hitter on the squad, and a good receiver. He always kept the team keyed up to the fighting pitch. He was handicapped in his pegging by a bad shoulder, but despite this he played his position in a most creditable manner. 110 1915 ADYTU BLACK — Lester ' s playing around ihe initial sack and his hitting were a revela- tion to Denison enthusiasts. His hand- ling of over-head throws and picks-ups was remarkable, and at bat he- could always be relied upon to deliver in the pinches. CAPTAIN-ELECT ROUDEBUSH i cannot be written about Roudy. He is undoubtedly the best short-stop in the slate. The faster they come the better he likes them; his quick underhand snaps and his pegs from deep short were features of his playing, and at bat he was equally strong. We ' re expecting him to lead us through a suc- cessful season this year. PFEIFFER— Dutch had an awful ' ime finding his baiting eye. It disap- peared before the first game and it was only found after a long and careful search, but then he came back with a vengeance and displayed his old-lime form. His fielding was clean and at times sensational. He was the best talker in the outfield. REESE — - Dave has a system all his own of holding a man off a base and his method of blocking the runner who IS sli ding into the base looks danger- ous, but he is yet to be injured. Dave ' s greatest delight is to attach wings to the ball and give it a beautiful long ride in the closing innings of some hard- fought game; at Akron Dave had his best day at bat. His fielding was clean and steady. MORROW— Tony missed one day at practice and that was the day the pictures were taken. He held down the keystone sack with all the cleverness he displayed in former years. He was an adept at worrying a base-runner and was a fast man on the paths himself MANAGER CHAILLE — As a manager Hal was all to the good. Some say he is likely to look after the Detroit Tigers this year. We hope he will have a little mercy on Cobb and the rest of that crew. Anyway, Hal IS all right, and for lining off the field and similar duties he can ' t be beat. Ill 113 DYTUri The Track Team THE RECORD March 2 1 . Ohio U. at Athens D. U 631 2 Ohio U 37! 2 April 25.

All Winter long, day after day, the track-squad worked out in the gym- nasium and as soon as the field and track outside were in condition the squad was out there. The season began early with the fifth annual inter-class indoor track-meet. The highest number of points was scored by the Fresh- men. The track season proper began with the indoor meet at Athens where Denison ' s score nearly doubled that made by Ohio U. There were five meets in all including the Ohio Intercollegiate Athletic Association meet at Columbus, and the team was very suc- cessful in all of these. Ohio U. came to Granville on April 27th for a return meet only to be defeated by a much larger score than before. The score board will show Denison ' s only defeat to have occurred at Oxford, and under ordinary conditions this might have been an- other victory, but things didn ' t break right. On Friday night the team had to get outside in the middle of the night and wait for the Dayton fire-department to put out a fire in their hotel. This of course was not particularly conducive to rest, and then to finish up Pete Prouty was unable to get into this meet, which we lost by a narrow margin. The last m.eet on Beaver field was the one with Otterbein in which the team lost one first in the course of the afternoon. The final meet of the season was the Big Six at Columbus. Denison placed fourth in this meet with nine points to her credit. Captain Miller placed in the mile; Prouty took a first in the discus throw; and Captain-elect Chase placed in the four-forty. The work of all the track men was deserving of merit and all of them were good, consistent runners. Bob Miller and Pete Prouty were the Seniors on the team and both will be greatly missed in the coming season. Fred Chase did great work in the quarter mile and in the relay team he was anchor man and will no doubt lead another equally successful season.

Until the time of Miss Marie Adkins the girls ' athletics consisted mainly in delsarte, tennis and croquet! Delsarte was principally lung developing exer- cises. The room used by the physical culture department was located in the old chapel building which stood near the center of the present-day Shepardson Campus. Before Recital Hall was built, the room was used for assembly purposes and del- sarte exercises. Later pulley machines were added to the unique equipment. Under Miss Adkins ' management basket- ball was added to the list of spc- ' The contestants did not have to contend with the present slippery hoors, for they played on the green campus. When the chapel building burned, the athletic headquarters were placed in the basement of the old club house until Doane Gymnasium was completed in 1905. Since the building of this well-equipped gymnasium Shepardson athletics have maintained a many sided interest. Miss Adams, the first instructor in the new building, instituted a lasting interest in all girls ' sports, which has been well sup- ported by her successors. In 1913 Miss Bradstreet came to us, reminding the girls that athletics are not always a joke. The result of her work thus far has been to raise the standard of the work in our gym. to a very high degree. At the present time the list of sports shows a great increase over that of Miss Adkins ' time. We now participate in basketball, tennis, archery, hockey, swim- ming and indoor baseball. Besides these, we have an excel- lent gymnasium equipment, including a race-track, and well managed classes. Although our All-Shepardson basketball team has not been permitted to leave town to meet the teams of other schools, the few times we have met them on our own floor our girls have shown themselves up very favorably. In addition to the many sports of Shepardson, each year a carnival is held under the supervision of the physical instruc- tor in honor of the founders of Shepardson College. The prospects for 1915 seem to indicate that this will be one of the very best years that Shepardson athletics have ever experienced. 121 ' 915 ADYTUri 1915 ADV Shepardson Basketball for 1914 THE basketball season for the year 1914 was one of the best ever seen at Shepardson. Intense interest was maintained in the interclass games throughout the entire season. Class spirit was rampant and every girl showed her class loyalty on Saturday nights. The Class of 1915 captured the championship banner from 1916 by coming through the entire season without the loss of a game. Captain Schropp is to be congratulated on bringing her team through such a successful season. The Junior line-up was: Hazel Bolin, center; Edna Schropp and Virginia Putnam, forwards; and Lillian Boggs and Marie Lyon, guards. The class nu- merals were presented on Carnival Day to each girl who had played in at least one half of three different games during the season. Each of the six girls chosen for the AU-Shepardson team was presented with an S at the same time.

The height at which she can reach the ball is marvelous. She says little but works fast, and is of great value to her team for her level head. Virginia Putnam, Forward — - Put is the wonder of Shepardson. It is ab- solutely foolish to attempt to guard her, for she is everywhere at once. The rate at which she can shoot baskets is something never seen before at Shepardson. Harriet Barrington, Guard — Harriet represented the Seniors on the All- Shepardson. She filled her place admirably, and the ball seldom rolled into the basket when she was guarding. Lillian Boggs, Guard — Lil is certainly some guard. Speed and ac- curacy were her main points, and it seemed lo her opponents that she was every- where at once. Eunice Vail, Forward — Vim and vigor go with Vail. She was an enthusi- astic worker on the Sophomore team and well deserved her place on the All- Shepardson. Her work was steady ralher than spectacular; (he kind that counts. Hazel Bolin, Sub Center — Hazel is small but like all small people she has high aspirations. She excells in athletic sports, and basketball is not the least of her accomplishments by any means. 124 Swimming r I IHROUGHOUT the winter season I when basketball was in full swing the swimming pool was quiet, but as soon as Spring arrived and the basketball sea- son was over, a great deal of Shepardson spirit turned toward swimming and the approaching contest. Each night the pool was open a large number of the girls turned out. The final contest took place early in May. On this final night seven girls appeared. It as first seemed difficult to determine who should be pronounced Shepardson swimming champion, but the judges finally de- cided in favor of Miss Alma Brumback, who for the second time received the honor. Miss Brum- back has for a number of years been envied by all those fond of swimming and she was not a disap- pointment to any on this contest night. As a re- ward Miss Brumback had her name engraved for the second time on the silver loving cup, received an S and a Denison seal spoon. ADYTUM Tennis ' HEN Spring finally put in appearance in 1914, the t ' courts proved to be as popular as ever. At J any hour of the morning or afternoon one might have heard gay laughter and the bounce of balls on the tight strung racquets. Among all the girls who haunted this busy part of the campus Margaret Colwell and Laura Harris played a very important part, so the dwellers in the halls were not sur- prised when they learned that these two were to contend for the final laurels on the court. Doane Academy should well be proud of her able representative, for Miss Colwell came off the court victorious, receiving in recognition of her powers a fine new racquet. 126 Carnival Day 127 ADYTUM Carnival ARNIVAL Day of 1914 celebrated not only Found- I I ers ' Day at Shepardson but also the inauguration of ■ :r Dr. Chamberlain as President. Because of the at- tending circumstances, all athletic performances were excluded and a very pretty program of graceful dances was arranged by the Shepardson physical director. At three-thirty the exer- cises were opened by a grand march by all the girls of Denison University. The Seniors led in caps and gowns. The other classes followed in the order of their rank. This march was one of the very best ever seen at Shepardson, due to the variety of figures and the many colors of the costumes. Following the march, the Junior dancing class, dressed in quaint colonial costumes, presented a Minuet which gave evi- dence of much work and excellent training. A fascinating Japanese dance was the contribution of the preparatory students to this successful afternoon. Clothed in graceful Japanese robes, with fluttering fans much in evidence, they seemed to be the latest importation from the flowery kingdom. ay 1914 The Sophomores came on with an entirely new dance for the school, it bemg a clever Sailors ' Hornpipe. The girls were appropriately dressed in sailor costumes and much hilarity was exhibited over the peculiar steps. Between the Sophomore and the Freshman dances Dean Judson awarded prizes of letters and numerals to those who had won them in athletic contests. Among the prizes were: The S to each of the All-Shepardson basketball team, class numerals for class basketball and tennis, and the S to the swimming and tennis champions. Then the Freshmen, in their green trimmings, put in their appearance for a gay Irish lilt. The spirit with which this dance was given was characteristic only of the Freshmen and rendered it all the more interesting. The last event of the afternoon was the beautiful May Pole dance, a Sophomore tradition, made all the more individ- ual this year by the unusual Greek costumes of the participants. It was a fitting and picturesque close for such a program. 1915 AD BOOK III. LITERARY Stories The Inauguration 129 915 ADYTUM Turned Tables First Prize Story by Florence Foster, ' 15 fTELL you fellows I won ' t take any girl to that prom. There isn ' t a girl in the country that ' s worth spendmg seventy-five dollars on merely for one dance. This came from Bob Ainsley, standing in the center of a group discussing the annual athletic hop. Look here, now. Bob. You know every man in school has got to attend and give this thing his support, or where will our finances end? said Spike McGirk. All the rest of the crowd chimed in and expressed their sentiments very strongly about Bob ' s preposterous idea of not taking a fair one to the prom — the biggest social event of the year. Well, Spike, since you are so insistent upon my inviting someone and paying out my hard-earned cash on taxis, flowers, dinners and miscellaneous extravagances, pray tell us whom you are going to inflict with an invitation, said Bob. That ' s for me to know and you to find out, replied Spike in a very blase manner. I guess it wouldn ' t be very hard to guess. All those trips up to Mercer haven ' t been for nothing. You deluded me into going once and I never got into such a hopeless crowd in all my days. Why, that girl would talk herself hoarse in five minutes if you stayed long enough to listen, said Bob. Bob, it won ' t do you any good to rave on about the positive or negative virtues of girls in general. The decision of the court is against you and you will have to invite someone to the hop. If you don ' t I wouldn ' t give ten dollars for your peace of mind for the rest of the year, expounded Johnson. Fate is against me and for this once I will be a martyr to the cause. But for goodness sake, all of you clear out of here and give me time to think over this great calamity that has befallen me. Left to himself Bob began to work out some plan of de- liverance. He wasn ' t a girl-hater, strictly speaking, but he had come to a boys ' school and always maintained that girls inter- fered with his course of study. Just at this time he was es- pecially low in his finances and the Harvard-Yale game wasn ' t 130 1915 ADY very far off. He would go to that if it took his last penny. He was generous with his allowance, but he always explained any lack of funds by saying that his father was a kind man but had medieval ideas on how the youth of the land should be taught to spend money. Well, thought Bob to himself, they told me that I had to ask someone. So if I ask a girl and she can ' t come, my duty is done. The only thing for me to do is to make sure that whoever I ask will be unable to accept. I ' ll wait until Spike asks that girl up at Mercer and as soon as she has accepted I ' ll write and ask her, too, and of course she will have to refuse. Then I ' ll rest in peace. A few days later Bob imparted his plan to an admiring Freshman who was sworn to secrecy, but who also would be a witness to the fact that Bob had done his best to find a part- ner. Spike was altogether too gracious about offering to bring the mail from the postoffice for the next few days. But one evening he came into the room and sat down with a relieved air. Bob. he said, at last she has written me that she can come for the hop, and maybe I ' m not glad. She will be the best dancer on the floor and now I won ' t have to worry about having a lame foot for a week after the thing is over. She ' s the only girl I would consider taking. I ' d advise you not to put off the evil day too long or you will be laboring around with some girl who can ' t keep out of the way of her own feet. Don ' t you get exercised now. Spike, said Bob. This is a weighty matter and you know I ' m a man of deliberation. No slur on your judgment of good dancing, but I know that no girl could be a poorer dancer than Miss Betty Krotzer of Mercer, Pa., whose praises you are singing so loudly at pres- ent. It ' s a good thing you are going to take her, though, be- cause it would be a crime to spoil two couples, but since you are together we can mark time when we see you coming. Spike only lit his pipe and smiled. That night Bob composed the most enthusiastic invitation to Miss Elizabeth Krotzer begging her to be his guest at the Eleventh Annual Athletic Hop of the John M. Greene School for Boys. The next step was to publish the fact far and wide that he had sent out his bid. He slept well that night. When the answer came to his letter he hardly felt as if it was necessary to even read it and was about to consign it to the fire, but — curiosity killed the cat and he opened it and read it. Some minutes later when his Freshman friend came into Bob ' s room he found him in a deplorable state of mental agita- tion. No explanation could be wrung from him, but at inter- vals the words escaped him, She will be delighted to come. Turning to the poor, scared Freshman abruptly he burst out in anger. Not a word of this to anyone or I ' ll wring your neck — especially to Spike. It ' s the tragedy of my life and not open for discussion by the general public. Heaven only knows what I ' ve done to deserve such punishment. The Hop was only a month off and during that time no mention of the affair was made between the two room-mates. Bob spent many a moment trying to figure out whether he had 131 ADYTUM made a slip in his plans or the girl had accepted two invitations. The day drew near and Bob grew more despondent at its approach, while Spike sang louder, ate more heartily and was generally in fine shape. The town dressed itself all up. The florists made wonderful displays. There was a general scram- ble for dress suits. All this only irritated Bob more and more. He thought of the three days of agony ahead of him and of the seventy-five dollars with which he must soon part. The prom, was on Friday night, but on Thursday evenmg came the Glee Club Concert. Gay and festive girls de- scended from every train all day Thursday. Miss Elizabeth Krotzer was gayer than any of them. Her father was a pros- perous brewer and she lacked nothing in the way of this world ' s goods. She expected people to give and spend freely when she permitted them the pleasure of her company. Bob and Spike went to the station together, but in two entirely different frames of mind. The former had forgotten his troubles for the time being and was consumed with curiosity as to what would happen when both stepped forth to meet the same girl. But they didn ' t! In fact. Bob received such a shock that he forgot to look out for Betty Krotzer at all. Not only did Spike greet a girl whom Bob had never seen before, but he actually kissed her. The next minute he heard Spike booming in his ear, Allow me to introduce my sister, Margaret. How Bob lived through the events of those next few days he never knew. The concert wasn ' t so bad — he enjoyed the music and conversation was necessarily limited. But the prom. — never had he labored so hard and furiously in all his life before. When Spike came into the room that night he found something which was nearer akin to a rag doll than a pompous room-mate. Spike was in the highest of spiritis. No wonder, hadn ' t he and his sister been awarded the cup given to the best dancers on the floor? Well, Bob, old scout, how goes the batUe? he said, giving his room-mate a resounding slap on the shoulder. I won ' t be able to walk without crutches for a week. I ' ll never be such a fool again if you will only explain the con- spiracy which existed against me. You told me you had in- vited Betty and that she had accepted your — I beg your pardon, Bob, but if you will kindly remem- ber I mentioned no names. You see, one of the fellows over- heard you tell that Freshman your plan of salvation and he imparted the knowledge to me. Of course I couldn ' t disap- point you, so you can put an extra star in my crown for giving you such a splendid time. ' Well, I ' ll give you the same chance next year, because my bid is out in plenty of time and your sister has accepted my invitation for the Twelfth Annual Athletic Hop of the John M. Greene School for Boys. 132 1915 The White Road —- Second Prize Story by Nellie Ballou, ' 16 f I ASPARD, with a face of night, jostled the people I I in the marketplace and filled them with a nameless V fear, at which the women shuddered and the men drew back and turned again to look and wonder. Little did he heed the throng. He must have left his eyes at home, so often did he stumble against those in his path. Per- haps he was thinking of his comrade who was sleeping — oh, so quietly — in Gaspard ' s deserted lodgings. Dear Heaven! shrieked an old crone. I think a dead man ' s picture is frozen in his eye. A young countryman guffawed to see her foolish fear, but he, too, breathed relief when Gaspard had left the marketplace. It was at the corner where a loud-voiced fakir cries his wares, that Gaspard stopped. He passed a hand across his pallid brow, and after fumbling in his bosom, drew out a curi- ous small bottle and drank some of its contents. Then he looked about him. Heavy wagons rumbled by ; crazy vehicles from the country, with ungainly drivers. Move on, fellow! said a man in uniform as he passed. Gaspard did not hear him. A tug at one of his relaxed hands finally roused him. A fair little girl was beside him, looking up into his face and smiling. Take me across, please? The man did not compre- hend. Gaspard Are looked at there not Nanette is afraid of the wagons. her in dull wonder. Me? You want me to carry you? others? You take me across, please! Gaspard hesitated; his breast rose and fell convulsively, and his eyes darkened. Then he smiled grimly. Yes, I will help you — wait! He rubbed his hands on his dingy coat, then lifted the child to his shoulder and bore her across the busy thoroughfare. I am so scared to go alone, the little creature confided. If you like, you may carry me all the way home. Whe re IS that, baby? I ' m not baby; I ' m Nanette, and I live at the prison. Papa wears a coat with bright buttons. I can ' t go there, Nanette; but I shall take you as far as the White Road. Then will you walk on the White Road? Yes. Far? To the very end. Oh, I knew it! As soon as I saw you, I thought you were going there. I have always wanted to be there, but it would be so lonely by myself. Yes, said Gaspard, very lonely. 133 When they had come to the highway known to the city as the White Road the man put down his Httle burden, but stood, loath to part with the child. It is not far to your home, Nanette? No, there it is with the dark windows, over across the court. It is not a pleasant place, is it? Oh, yes, for I can see the Road. Both gazed up the long, white way, which, turning sharply from the busy street, leads to a desolate coast where the waves bring home the ships of the dead. Its lonely miles stretched on and on, as far as eye could see. The sun shone hot upon it, and little breezes lifted tongues of dust. A large beetle burrowed across the sand at Gaspard ' s feet. Why do you like it? the man asked curiously. Because it goes there. Nanette pointed and smiled at the hazy horizon. God lives there — don ' t tell anyone — and often I have seen through His doorway, and it was all bright inside. Her voice sank to a whisper; Gaspard shrank back as if he feared her. God ' s doorway! he repeated, and shivered as if with cold. Don ' t be afraid, she said, taking his hand in both her little ones. I don ' t see why they are always frightened. They? Who? You — and the men who come to live in Papa ' s cages. They are very good to me. I call them my birds. Gaspard started and laughed nervously. You must go DYTUM home and feed your birds, and I — I must go on to — • the child smiled happily — the nearest port. Oh! Her face fell. You are not going to the end of the Road? Perhaps, Nanette. He tried to laugh, but it ended in a choking sound. You can get home safely? You are not afraid? I am just a little afraid of the wagons; but I ' ll be care- ful, for there are so many coming yonder from the market. Goodby ! I shall look back every minute and see you walking on our beautiful road. She stood at the edge of the stone- paved street, waiting until she might cross with safety. For a moment Gaspard hesitated, perceiving her evident dread. Then came the distant sound of the stone-breakers in the prison yard, and turning toward the west he went his way. I hope Nanette will not look back while she crosses the street, he said to himself. As the noises of the city grew fainter, Gaspard thought they were very like a troublous dream. He heard the rum- bling of heavy carts, then the shouting of men and the shrill cry of a child, and again the shouting of men. There was a long lull before any sound began anew. He listened for a while with wonder and a kind of fear, until a thought of his peril drove him on. No sign of life was on the White Road. The city had drawn it all to its heart, where it throbbed in weary monotony. Gaspard remembered one there who now was only a clay fig- ure among living men. That morning he had been a jovial 134 1915 companion. But what is done is done. Gaspard ground his teeth. Had they found it yet? And were the police already seeking to fill another of little Nanette ' s cages? A feeling that someone was near caused him to turn quickly. He saw nothmg. Uneasiness seized him. Who? What? he called. A faint murmur reached his ear. His eyes rolled wildly. It might have been some droning insect, but there was none such in sight. He laughed, a forced, hysterical laugh. My forgetfulness is wearing off, he muttered, with shaky reassurance. I must take more. He found the curi- ous bottle, and measured one, two, three drops of the contents. It is late, the door may be shut! The thin voice caused him to stagger as if struck by an invisible hand. Nanette! he called, looking about with new hopeful- ness. Yes, answered the childish voice. But that was all. Gaspard groped for the bottle which he had dropped. I can stand more of this than I used to, he said, and put it to his lips. Surely he was very, very weary with the heat of the long road, for his steps grew slower, and his great body drooped, as one that can go no farther. I am tired, said Gaspard; I must rest a while. So he sat under a tree beside the way, and soon the bottle dropped from his hand and his head fell forward so that one could not see his face except by stooping low, and Gaspard slept. ' Come! God ' s doorway will soon be shut! U r i i Gaspard was not tired now. He rose at the sound of Nanette ' s voice and saw her beckoning to him as she stood far down the road. In a moment he was beside her. Where were you, Nanette? Did you hide from your poor Gaspard to frighten him with only a voice? I was there all the time. Didn ' t you see me? I fol- lowed you all the way. Then you must be weary. Will you ride on my shoul- der? I am not tired, but I wish you would lead me by the hand, for we must hurry. The big tree behind us is only half way. Gaspard looked around. What is that huddled on the ground? Let us go back and see : I think it is a man. No! No! It is a dreadful thing, all darkened, with staring eyes. It is not a man. I am afraid of it. Let us go on. The n show me the way, Nanette. I seem not to know it, and none ever told it to me. The great White Road glows red under the sunset. The way has been weary, but the end is not far off. Pavilions of glory rise in the sky, crimson and purple, and a brighter gold than that of earth gilds the towers of the west. There is a sound as of unseen stars singing. The doorway of God ' s house is open, and there is all brightness within. As the jeal- ous mists from sea and sky close in to veil the splendor, Gas- pard and Nanette stand at the door of their Father, hand in hand. 135 1915 ADYTUM The Inauguration IWO days. May 19 and 20. of the year 1914. will I be remembered long by every Denisonian who was — with his Alma Mater when she formally took Clark Wells Chamberlain as her President. It was a time of glad- ness; tasks were put aside, that young and old might offer be- coming honor to the college and her distinguished son. Denison became a shrine, to which journeyed from the East and the West men whose very names bear magic. Like the rejoicings of old, the celebration began with music and dancing. A Carnival was held on Shepardson Campus, and quaint figures, moving gaily, expressed the spirit of the day. That nigh,t the Coburn Players gave As You Like It on the South Plaza. On the morning of May 2 1 , a deeper gravity entered the ceremonies. A great procession — learned men in the robes which long, tireless labors have won. younger ones whose lives are still before them, and a vast throng of those whose very hopes are still sleeping — all passed alike to the church for the Chapel service. Then again they went on their way, up the hill in the bright sunshine. And there the new President was proclaimed, and the charter given into his keeping. It was a moment of history in the life of the college. At the close of the Inauguration Ceremonies, the distin- guished visitors, alumni, and faculty were guests of the trustees at a luncheon in Swasey Gymnasium. Then followed the inspection of the college buildings and a reception by President and Mrs. Chamberlain. The Oratorio, St. Paul, ended the day. and the Inaug- uration was over. But the promise of it still lives, and we may find that, after all. it was only the beginning, the dawning of Denison ' s Golden Era. 137 TUESDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 19 At Trvo O ' clock Meeting of the Trustees in Cleveland Hall Meeting of the Alumni in Recital Hall At Three-Thirty Clock Shepardson College Carnival on Shepardson Campus At Five-Thirty O ' Clock Class and Club Dinners At Eight O ' clock The Coburn Players: Shakespeare ' s As You Like It ' Denison Campus, South Plaza WEDNESDAY MORNING, MAY 20 At Nine O ' clock MORNING CHAPEL SERVICE In charge of Dean Richard S.

Deer First Vice President J. W. Gainfort ' Second Vice President H. L. Phillips Third Vice President J. L. BjELKE Secretar ' -Treasurer C. L. Klein SOME years ago there was felt the need, among those who were entering into definite religious work, of an organization that would give to such men an outlook which could be gained only by concerted effort. The purpose is to hold regular meetings at which the different phases of the minister ' s work are presented. This year we have had addresses from such men as Rev. Brelsford, Prof. Spencer, and Dr. Stull of Newark. Several men have been supplying churches, and some have been on the Gospel Teams and have encouraging reports to bring. An effort has been made this year to have the meetings of a more personal character. 180 - 1915 ADY Ministerial Association ! Top Row — E. Clossman, E. Bodenweber, C. L. Klein, J. R. Hoy, J. S.

Will i K Colors: Cerise and Black 232 1915 ADYTL Senior Class History HO comes here? To be sure, it is the only class in D. A. — the class of ' 1 5. Now that the race is nearing an end and the coveted prize is within our grasp, we look back over our past record with a keen sense of pride mindful of the -privileges and advantages we have enjoyed here. Our real history began when we first entered Doane ' s walls, but our activity was not shown until our Junior year, when the out-going Senior class of ' 14 enjoyed a stunt given by us. From that time on we have made our mfluence felt m every phase of Doane life. The year started out with the election of the class of- ficers, the appointment of necessary committees, the adoption of class colors and the selection of suitable pins. An informal class stunt helped weld us closer together. This class has been able to bring back many a trophy from the football field and the basketball floor. But our glory is not confined to athletics alone. The mys- teries of science have cleared up before us, pius Aeneas has been our guest, and Xenophon has found us in his midst. The hardest geometrical problems have given up the ghost at our presence. All in all we feel that we are fully equipped to enter the college Freshman class next fall and make our influence as far reaching there as in our beloved Doane. 233 YTUM Seniors Top Row— p. H.

Hetherington, 238 191w Doane Football A S we look back over the football season we have just com- pleted and compare our records with those of preceding 1 _X years, we feel truly satisfied with the results of our labors. Indeed our records are not unblemished; they are not perfect. But when we compare them with those of last year we find that the progress we have made is indeed enviable. We have profited by our failures and have always tried to live up to the Doane spirit of true sportsmanship. Should we ignore our good record the acquirement of true sportsmanship would m itself be an indication of success. And so it is not with a sigh of regret but a smile of satisfaction that we etch our record in Doane Academy ' s football history. At the outset we were very seriously embarrassed by having but very little veteran football material. But unlike last year we were so fortunate as to secure the services of a paid coach. Naturally every person wished to have our loyal Alumnus, Pete Prouty, who so kindly contributed his services to our efforts last year, fill this posi- tion, which decision later spelled our success. However, Pete did not find things in a very favorable condition, but the prospects were brightened by the response of many loyal students to his first call. Almost enough to make two teams responded, and each was deter- mined that this year should be a successful one for the red and black. Our hopes began to rise as we saw Prouty mould his inexperienced material into presentable form. While it was yet in the plastic stage he marched them down to Columbus, where we were routed by the East High veterans. This game we prefer to let lie buried in the i past, as the score was fifty to nothing in the wrong direction. We | were not discouraged, so profiting by our defeat and a week ' s hard ! practice we vindicated our reputation by overwhelming Dutch | Pfeiffer ' s raiders from Zanesville. This game shows our progress, | for here the results were better than a reversal, giving us a 64-0 vie- i tory. The following week we walloped our old rival Newark by a 1 5-6 score. The next week Columbus Academy attempted to block our progress but suffered a reverse, the score being 41-2 in our favor. | We next engaged Utica, and although our team was badly -crippled beat them by a 10-3 score. Zanesville was again easily defeated 48-0. Mt. Vernon was our next victim, being subdued 1 9-6. Our team then met and easily conquered Delaware by a score of 20-0. In our last game as in the first we suffered a reverse. Although we were leading up to the last minute, somehow they were able to score on us and we lost 7-3. | It seems rather unfortunate to lose both the first and last games of the season. But by observing our scores one is able to judge our progress. We began in the ranks of the weakest and finished in the ranks of the strongest teams in the state. Although our whole team showed remarkable ability it is only natural that there should be some outstanding players. We feel that especial honor is due McMahon, McCollum, Gregg and Kull, while Griffeth, Phillips, Wyse and Hopkins deserve a word of recognition. i 239 1915 ADYTUM The Baseball Team 240 The Track Team 242 Top Row-D.

' You all know what ' rouge ' is, I think. Mr. Patrick — Why don ' t you have your lesson, Mr. Dawson? Dawson — Why, I didn ' t have my book. Mr. Patrick — That ' s nc excuse — borrow one. To Mr. Su- voong — Have you your lesson? Suvoong — Yes, sir; I lost my book but I borrowed one. Mr. Patrick — That ' s the spirit! Borrow one! Dawson (in a small voice) — He borrowed mine! Langdon and Louise were sitting on the lounge when Billy, the dog, came by. Louise is very fond of him and so, when he came along, she leane ' d over and kissed him (meaning Billy). Trot and Hubert were coming along when this happened and Trot turned to Hubert and said, Did you see that? Hubert— What? Trot — Why, she kissed him. Hubert— Who? Which? Dr. Hundley (in History I) — Mr. Vawter, what great thing did Alexander do? Vawter — Spread Greece all over the world. Enter Mears, coming upstairs. Brutes, brutes, brutes. Exit bunch into B6, door closed. Mears, without. Feathers, are you among these? No answer. Feathers, I thought you was a gentleman. (Pause.) I did not think you would do this. (Pause.) I put all my trust in you and now you have betrayed that trust. (Pause.) I cared not for the snipe but I went with you only out of friendship and now you have done this. (Long pause.) If you dare to breathe a word of this to any one you shall rue this day. Exit Mears, going downstairs and saying: Brutes, brutes, brutes, brutes. Mr. Emswiler — The dimensions of a box are 6 by 5 inches, 2 by 4 inches, and 7 by 9 inches. Hershey, how much would this vessel hold when empty? Mr. Emswiler (to Parker Tilbe) — Mr. Tilbe, do you under- stand that problem? Parker — Ves, but I don ' t believe it. Mr. Emswiler — You are like the young man at the circus who looked up at the giraffe and then turned around and said, ' I know that there ain ' t no such animal. ' Jack Hundley — That ' s just what I thought. Miss Orcutt (in Botany) — This plant belongs to the begonia family. Josephine Darrow — Oh, and you are keeping it for them while they are away. How very kind of you! 246 The Boys of 16. April 30, 1914 248 191 5 ' s Junior Stunts 249 Shorty I OR three years Shorty has been the efficient Cheer- 1 leader of Denison ' s forces on the gridiron, the basket- ball floor and the diamond. The position of Cheer- leader at Denison means a great deal more than the necessity of making violent contortions and strenuous use of one ' s own lungs in an attempt to get a good cheer out of the student body. In addition to leading the yells in a most noteworthy fashion, Peanut has been a star in the outside activities in the hne of better attendance and spirit at all games. Numerous tags, that most efficient means of raising money and spirit, are due to him. It is to him that we must give the greatest credit both for the immense attendance at the Wesleyan football game last fall and for the building of the bleachers to accommodate that crowd. John Bud Long has truly earned his Cheer- leader ' s D, and we can only hope as he leaves us that his successor may be his equal. Maecm Sun. 1.
