I join you heartily in your effort to do honor to the men who, with judgment and heroism, have served the cause of Denison; the men who were called to her service at a time when the wisest and most devoted were needed to direct her course, and have safely brought her thus far upon her way. Clark W. Chamberlain. 33 James Wainwrigliit Gefman One of the sad events of the late summer was the death of James Wainwright German, D.A. ' 15, at his home in McKeesport, Pa. He spent but one year with us, yet while he was here, his cheerful good nature and whoie-souled friendli- ness made him popular with every- one. He was interested in athletics and played on Doane ' s basket ball squad, and here his likableness made for him close friends. His depart- ure leaves a cloud in our memories which time alone can soften. It is with great sadness that we record his death. Douglas Maretoira M©©re At the opening of this year, the entire college mourned the untimely death of one of the class of 1918. On August 9, 1915, Douglas Marston Moore, not yet eighteen years of age, died at his home in Middletown, Ohio. Of irreproachable character, studious, and dependable in all matters entrusted to him, his unself- ish, cheerful and lovable nature en- deared him to all. His death came as a severe and saddening shock to his many friends and acquaintances. 34 - yium me John L. Bjelke Alma Brumback Laura Harris Thomas H. Rees President John L. Bjelke Vice President. ..

Hee! when their enjoyment became too immense for their small insides. AH the year they wore green buttons and got out of everybody ' s way, and the next summer. Uncle Sam or Uncle Jim, or whoever owns the T. and O. C, deliv- ered these sturdy little beings to their several papas and mamas for a happy vacation. Many of them returned in September, and rushed about looking for freshmen, that they might say casually, You know, we old men can show you — And show them they did. For they could run faster and jump higher and yell louder than any little boys good old Alma Mater had ever seen ; but she smiled wisely and said, O yes, but that is the way Si Celebrity and Josephus Fame acted when they were young, and look at them now! And she gave them a cooky. By this time the class had grown considerably in stature, if not in num- bers, and their behavior was beautiful to behold. When the time for their banquet came, they calmly reached across the blue Atlantic and handed the Belgian Sufferers a nice mess of turkey and all that goes with it. For the last tim e they have returned, smiling so as to show their newly sprouted wisdom teeth, and speaking solemnly of a quality called Dignity. They have, besides, become addicted to rapid transit, and borne along on the wings of gasoline, passed without remorse old Alex which had cheered and nourished their tenderer state, and went on to a far city to eat alien chicken from the fleshpots of Johnstown. It was a foreshadowing of the distant sad end! Their next journey will take them away from Denison so far that only the years can bring them back, and Alma Mater will weep and say. This is the Httle chair that 1916 sat in, and here is a little cap 1916 used to wear. That child of mine always liked Navy and Gold. 37 v yium 1916 Clyde S. Adams, B.S. n n E. Newark High School. Baseball (2, 3). President Chemical Society (4). Chemistry. Assistant in Babe is going to make a great name for himself as a chemist when he engages in the battle with the wolf. As president of the Chemical Society, his wise and far-seeing policies won for him national fame. He is also an ardent geologist — with what success may be guessed from the prevalence of a rumor that he made an A in one course. Nellie Ballou, A.B. B K. Newark High School 1912. Euterpe. Deni- sonian Staff (3, 4). Vice President Euterpe (4). Masquers (4). Class Poet and Historian (2, 3, 4). Little Nellie has corrected English themes for a good many of us, but we are willing to forgive her now that it is all over. Her bright mind and her sunny disposition have made us like her here at Denison, and we know these qualities are going to win for her out in de cole world. Eunice Barnes, A.B. Monroeville High School 1910. Euterpe. Geological Society. Adytum Board. Y. W. C. A. Cabinet (3, 4). Debate (3). Debate Council (3), Presi- dent (4). First Vice President Student Associa- tion (4). Assistant in English (4). Eunice has been one of the busiest people around the Sem. She always has something lo do and is always helping other people. In Y. W. C. A. and debating, she has been especially active. She is going to be missed, but not forgotten. J. Samuel Barrington, B.S. K 2. Doane Academy 1912. Franklin. Football (3, 4). Chemical Society. Sam is one of those quiet fellows whose sterling worth is not apparent on the first glance, but is there just the same. Besides being an old reliable ' on the football team and one of the brightest lights in the Chemical Society, he adds his moral support to the exorbitant policies of the Book Ex. 38 John L. Bjelke, Ph.B. K S. Doane Academy 1913. Y. M. C. A. Cabinet (1, 2, 3, 4), Vice President (3). D. D. D. (I, 2, 3). Geolosical Society. President H. and P. S. A. (4), President Masquers (4). Class President (4). Chairman Junior Banquet Com- mittee, junior Toaster at W. B. Glee Club (3), 4). Adytum Board. Ministerial Association. John may well be described by the same words he used about another man the other day, — One of the best student ministers this school has turned out. The numerous offices he has held in school only foreshadow his coming fame and success. May we have more broad-minded ministers! Irene Bonshire, Music. AO. Newark High School 1911. Philo. Dramatic Club (3, 4). Assistant in Theory. Irene is a happy combination of music, sociability, and brains. Good luck in everything, and success, is our wish for you, Irene. Alma Brumback, B.S. 2 A J . Doane Academy 1912. Thalia. Swimming Champion (1, 2, 3). Class Basket Ball (1, 2, 3). All-Shepardson Basket Ball (1, 2, 3). Class Secretary (I). Class Vice-President (4). Glee Club (4). Class Tennis Champion (3). Adytum Board. Y. W. C. A. Cabinet (3). President Shepardson Athletic Association (4). Chemical Society. Everybody knows who Brummy is. And in this case, to know means to like. She is one of the most all-around eirls in school, excelling in whatever she undertakes. She knows well how to blend her ath- letic, educational, religious and social activities. When she is gone, we will have much trouble in filling the vacancy. Gordon J. Burrer, B.S. 4 r A, e. Sunbury High School. Baseball (2, 3, 4). Track (3, 4). D. D. D. (2, 3). Punk, or more properly ' Blondy, has made for himself an enviable reputation as a fusser, though he says that his chief ambition has never been realized Perhaps if he were to be with us another year — 39 Eleanor Joy Carman, Ph.B. Marietta Hieh School. Philo. Marietta College (1, 2. 3). Glee Club (4). Y. W. C. A. Cabinet (4). Chairman Street Council (4). Marietta Collese: Class Treasurer (2). Olio Staff (3). President Y. W. C. A. (3). About the beeinning of 1915 we heard that a great joy was to come to our dear old Shepardson. Our expectations were fulfilled to the highest point. Joy has never been wanting since we first met her, even though she has been given the authority of chairman of the Street Council. Her artistic skill promises much for her future. Frederick L. Chase, B.S. ' i ' A 9. Newark High School. Track (2, 3), Cap- tain (3). Cross Country (2, 3), Captain (3). Adytum Board. While in school, Fred has well lived up to his name — in fact he has beaten most of his opponents. He will do well to equal his record in his contest with the almighty dollar. QuiNCY A. Cheadle, A.B. Newark High School 1912. Calliope, Rh.B. Assist- ant in English (4). Debate Council (3, 4). Manager Debate (3). Debate (4). Lewis Prize, Winning Essay (2, 3). Denisonian Staff (3), Editor-in-Chief (4). Adytum Board. Quincy hails from that suburb of Granville called Newark. He has been a hard worker in literary soci- ety, and in his senior year made varsity debate. His journalistic ambitions have brought him to the editor- ship of the Denisonian. We expect to hear from him at some newspaper man ' s desk a few years hence. H. Donald Dawson, B.S. Sycamore. Bowling Green High. Track (2, 4). Cross Country (2). D. D. D. (2). Don combines in himself a fine track man, a shark in Biology and Chemistry, and a past master at the gentle art of fussing. He has made a place for himself with many a student because of his fine work as an assistant. Such willingness to help the other fel- low, coupled with ability, will make Don a success most anywhere. 40 Mary Dean, Ph.B. Coshocton High School. Philo. H. and P. S. A. Mary hails from the kintry and came to us as a sophomore from Lafayette College. Though she is often heard to say, Let me alone, I ' m sleepy, she always finds time for her beloved Chemistry. Who will not miss Mary ' s original remarks and ready smile? Edith I. Deming, B.S. Newark High School 1912. Thalia. Edith is versed in all the various sciences as well as men. Her presence is always felt in the classroom, and her record is full of A ' s. When she leaves, we expect to hear about ihs fine record she will make in domestic lines. James W. Gainfort, Ph.B. K 3, A AT. Doane Academy 1912. Franklin. Alli- gator. Class Treasurer (I, 2). Manager 1915 Adytum. Secretary Athletic Association (2). Debate (2, 3, 4). Debate Council (3, 4). Pan- Hellemc Council (3). Y. M. C. A. Cabinet (1, 2, 3, 4). President (4). President Student As- sociation (4). Jimmy is probably the best-liked man in school. Whether he is president of the Student Association, president of the Y. M. C. A., or manager of the Ady- tum, he knows how to make everyone work willingly for the good of the cause. He is the type of man that has been bringing fame to Denison for over eighty years now. Emma Geis, A.B. Newton High School 1912. Thalia. Shepardson De- bate Council (3, 4). Genetics Club (4). Y. W. C. A. Cabinet (4). President Thalia (4). Glee Club (4). Class Basket Ball (3, 4). Emma ' s career at Denison has been attended with a good deal of success, and we predict Moore for her in the future. She has given her loyal support to every phase of college life, and will surely keep her little corner of the world, wherever it is, moving along smoothly. yium 1916-} 41 Ady- um 1316- Florence Gill, Home Economics. Thurston High School. Thaha. Chemical Society. Florence is a quiet little maiden with deep blue eyes and a great store of cook-book knowledge. They say a persons education should fit her for after life. We are sure that Florence ' s culinary ability is going to be invaluable to her a few years hence. Horace L. Griley, B.S. U n E. Woodward High (Cincinnati). Franklin. President Geological Society (4). It IS said that Griley descends from the celestial flight of his thoughts only long enough to make a re- port in Geology 25. We doubt it, for truly, we have never heard him say a word. Imogen Hamblen, Ph.B. 1 B K, A (). Northfield Seminary. Thalia. Senior in Conservatory (Voice). Glee Club (3, 4). We hear Imogen say as she goes up to class, I don ' t know beans about this, but the key that she wears, and her ever-readiness in all things, show us how far this estimation falls short of her true repre- sentation. Imogen sailed from Japan to us, and in spite of her many years of music, she still proclaims her highest ambition to be housekeeping. ' Calvin F. Hamilton, A.B. Sycamore. McKeesport High School 1912. Frank- lin. Class Treasurer (3). President Franklin (4). Y. M. C. A. Cabinet (4). D. D. D. (3). Masquers (3, 4). Ham takes life very seriously — at times. At other times, you will find him in the thick of a rough-house, or doing his best to start something. In his junior year the odium of fax collector got a hold upon him, which he has been trying to shake off ever since. 42 Adyvum 131 Laura Harris, Ph.B. Cook Academy, Montour Falls, N. Y., 1912. Euterpe. Glee Club (1, 2, 3, 4), Director (3, 4) . Quar- tette (I, 2, 3, 4). Secretary Athletic Association (2) . Street Council (2, 3). Y, W. C. A. Cabi- net (3). Treasurer Euterpe (2). Secretary Class (4). Treasurer 1915 Adytum. Denisonian Staff (3) . Class Basket Ball (I, 2, 3, 4), Manager (4). Harry is a universal favorite in these parts. Her infectious laugh and melodious voice will long be remembered. She is a good sport clear through, and has often been referred to as a typical Denison girl. Thomas L. Hickman, A.B. St. Paul (Minn.) High School. Franklin. Football (2, 3, 4). Track (2, 3). Ministerial Association. Hick came a long way from home to find a good school, but he must have known what he was doing. He has made an enviable record in track and foot- ball, but, considering the circumstances, particularly as a man. We congratulate you, Hick, and extend our heartiest good wishes for your future. A. Lowell Johnson, A.B. $ B K, A A T. Sycamore. Doane Academy 1912. Calliope, Rh. B. Denisonian Staff (3, 4). Honor Court (2). Student Council (4). Editor 1915 Adytum. Y. M. C. A. Cabinet (4). President Calliope (4). Chairman Class Memorial Com- mittee (4). Gilpatrick Scholarship (4). Assist- ant in Physics (4). Johnny had the misfortune to be elected to Phi Beta Kappa in his junior year, and since then has been living up to his reputation. He can handle the Y. M. C. A. handbook, the Adytum, or a job on the Denisonian — all with the same absolute dependa- bility. This IS one of the things which promise him a good-sized niche in the hall of fame. George M. Jones, B.S. B 0 n. Wooster Academy. Wooster College ( 1 , 2, 3). Chemical Society (4). Though George lives in Newark, he has been with us but one short year. He is a shark at Chemistry and but for previous college experience, Brummy would doubtless make him the foremost chemist of the age. s,i ' .111 lhll l;lllliillteii;iili;liiik yvum 1316- 3 l| ill ' i liil llI ' lM, I ■ ,111 li ih lll ' f irl mk Mabel Jones, Ph.B. AO. Berkeley High School. Phiio. Y. W. C. A. Cabinet (2, 3). Glee Club (3). Vice President Phiio (3). Senior in Conservatory (Piano). This can always be expected of Mabel when a thing of beauty presents itself before her eyes, Oh! Isn t it a lamb! ' She is one of our truest representa- tives of the Conservatory. Her ability at the organ has been recognized in many ways. She also comes from Japan and excels in the culinary arts and in china painting. Harold L. Kier, Ph.B. ::;X, MA. Doane Academy 1912. Glee Club (3, 4). Pan-Hellemc Council (3). D. D. D. (I, 2. 3). Chairman W, B. Committee. Chay ' is ihe youthful impresario when it comes to musical instruments. He can play anything from the Granville Band to a tattoo with his feet on Stone Hall porch while waiting for the next performance of The Only Girl ' — which plainly demonstrates his wonderful versatility. Frank O. Kruh, B.S. Solvay (N. Y.) High School. Franklin, Rh. B. Winner in the Lewis Prize Contest (3). Frank is a loyal Frenchman and supporter of the Allies — if you don ' t believe it, ask him or consult some old files of the Denisonian. They say he would rather hurl inky broadsides at the enemies of Der Vaterland than attend to the common duty of masti- cation. Donald M. Ladd, B.S. K 2, H. Bowling Green High School. Alligator. D. D. D. (1, 2). Class President (2). Pan- Hellenic Council (4). Vice President Athletic Association (3). Football (2, 3, 4), Captain (4). Basket Ball (3, 4). Board of Control (4). Y. M. C. A. Cabinet (4). Adytum Board, oenior Toaster at W. B. Baseball (3, 4). Laddie is one of the most popular men in col- lege, as well as one of our biggest athletes. He is a strong Y. M. C. A. worker, and from every side, one of the finest fellows we have ever met. We wish you all the good fortune, Don, that you deserve. 44 Dorothea Lapp, Ph.B. X A. Norwood High 1912. Euterpe. Vice Presi- dent Class (1). Class Basket Ball (I, 2, 3, 4), Captain (4). Vice President Athletic Association (3) . Adytum Board. Y. W. C. A. Cabinet (3, 4). Treasurer Y. W. C. A. (4). Inter- Sorority Council (3, 4). Denisonian Staff (3). Genetics Club. H. and P. S. A. Dorothea is capability personified, and she has been given ample chance to prove it while with us, as a glance at her offices will show. She has a very affable disposition, is domestically inclined, and it might be well to add that there seems to be a very strong affinity between her and the Irish. Stuart L. Lapp, B.S. | B 9 n. Norwood High School. Calliope. Adytum Board. Football Squad (2, 3, 4). Y. M. C. A. Cabinet (3, 4), Vice President (4). Manager Denisoman (3). Glee Club (4). D. D. D. (1, 2, 3, 4). Chemical Society. Assistant in Psychology (4) . Due, we suppose, to his superabundant abilities in the work, Stew was chosen to be Assistant in Psych- ology. We do not know what that is, but we guess it means work. If it does, we are sure Stew will be found capable. Bernice Lemoi, Ph.B. Evanston High School. Thalia. Y. W. C. A. Cabi- net (4). Denisonian Staff (4). Glee Club (2, 3, 4). Street Council (3). Adytum Board. Bernice spent her first year at Northwestern Uni- versity and then decided to try us. We are glad she liked it here, for we like her. She is interested in music, is a Student Volunteer and a regular French shark. You can count on it that when she works, she works. Irene Longnecker, B.S. Steele High School (Dayton) 1912. Euterpe. Although Denison was not Irene ' s first choice, she is glad that she could be a Denisonian for three years. Her interests are divided between two things: Chemistry and Dayton. We will have to admit that she is some- times disloyal to the former, but it is never safe to sav anything against the latter. 45 • IliiWillliJlilllildll Xjllliilil.,!;.

Here is a track man who is hard to beat. He can get away with other things, too, for his record in the line of jokes and reminiscences is high. Lee ' s future is uncertain, but we will probably see him run- ning for some office — and getting it. George M. Lyon, B.S. $ r A, H. Marshall College Normal School. Chair- man Junior Prom Committee. Basket Ball (3). Track (3). Football Manager (4). D. D. D. (3). Orchestra (3). Lady ' s excellent basic training at Marshall, com- bined with a little more or less diligent application while here, have enabled him to acquire both his B. S. and his M. S. this year. He expects to become a great doctor at Johns Hopkins. We suggest that he specialize in cardiac afflictions. Ethel McDanel, Ph.B. Charleston (W. Va.) High School. Euterpe. House Council (3). Vice President Euterpe (3). H. and P. S. A., Vice President (4). Vice Presi- dent Student Volunteer Band (4). Class Basket Ball Manager (4). Well, now I tell you, it s just this way. This quick statement, followed by some thorough explana- tion, IS always expected of Ethel when she is in good spirits. In college she has delved into History and Political Science so much that she attained the honor of Vice President of the H. and P. S. A. Ethel IS always busy, and many are the freshmen who have been guided by her ever-ready assistance. Earl R. Marsh, Ph.B. K 2. Bowling Green High School. Football (2, 3, 4). Baseball (2, 3, 4). D. D. D. (1, 2, 3). Glee Club (4). Nasty ' s career in Denison has been widely varied — from Glee Club to the Football Team, and from there to the Gospel Team. In spite of the rep which he and Laddie established in the dorms the first two years, he has become a senior in the real sense of the word. His dignity demands frequent constitutionals over Old Licking ' s Hills. 46 -c (dyTum 1316 — I William C. Martin, B.S. Hayden (Ind.) High School. C. N. C, Ind. 1913. Calliope. Geological Society. One would hardly suspect this quiet, unassuming chap of having the persistently assertive qualities of a successful book agent, and yet it must be, for he sells them. Well, all gold does not glitter. You will find Martin a regular attendant at Calliope. Beulah Nott, Ph.B. K A N 2, n T. Cambridge High. Philo. Marietta College (1, 2). Y. W. C. A. Cabinet (4). (Mari- etta) (2). Secretary Class (2). Where s my roommate? This is Beulah ' s formal announcement that she is near. Spreads and serenades are her specialty. We have heard that her greatest ambition is to go to Japan and we often find her looking to the West. Beulah has taught a year and she often tells us that her practice teaching is next to the most pleasant thing in her life. Bryant C. Morris, B.S. K 2. Steele (Dayton) High School. Calliope. As- sistant in Engineering (1, 2, 3). Geological So- ciety. Honor Court (2). President Calliope (4). Football (4), Masquers (3, 4). Manager Officer 666 (4). D. D. D. (1, 2). Snooks IS one of those rare men who combine ability and dependability. He throws himself into his work and makes it go. He ought to make a mighty good business man. He is not one of those who like to be classed as women-haters. Ethel Morris, Ph.B. 2 A 4 , A O. Springfield High. Thalia. Geological Society, Secretary (3), Vice President (4). Orchestra (4). She seems to be a quiet little maid. But nay, not so, when you know her. She left us for a while, but the call of Denison was too strong for her. She has shown us her musical ability as pianist for the Denison Orchestra. We are sure that in the years to come Ethel will slill make many happy with her music. iilli!!;iiilillllll!;lliMll!i;iiil!i.li;iili, I . illUlm ' nU.JHili 47 MU u . iiii Will ' i iii ij ii i)ii ' , ' 4.i.iiii.i!iiit.iiiyiwii;.iii .. ...ite Edwin A. Oldham, Ph.B. Rayen High School (Youngstown) 1903. Ohio Stale ex- ' 07. Calliope. Ministerial Association. Assist- ant in Engineering. Oldham bears the unique distinction of being the only member of the Royal Order of Benedicts in college, and is a creditable representative. He held an excellent position as a mechanical draftsman, but cave it up to study for the ministry. If his interest and ability in ihis work equals that of the draftsman, his success is assured. Helen Olney, B.S. ' t Ii K. Washington Seminary, Atlanta, Ga., 1912. Philo. Class Secretary (2). Class Basket Ball Manager (3). Adytum Board. President Philo (4). Y. W. C. A. Vice President (4). Geo- logical Society, Secretary (4). Glee Club (3, 4), Treasurer (3), Quartette (3). Debate Council (4). Oh! Dawling! ' How familiar this phrase sounds — we instantly think of Helen. She is one who thinks, who acts, who knows To her we can pay our best of tributes. She is always ready and willing to do. There is no one who has known or met her, but feels ihe sterling qualities of her character. Katherine Olney, Ph.B. K ' ! . Washington Seminary, Atlanta, Ga., 1912. Philo. Class Basket Ball (1, 2, 3, 4), Manager (2) AU-Shepardson (1, 3), Captain (3). Asso- ciate Editor 1915 Adytum. Secretary Student Association (3). President Student Association (4). Y. W. C. A. Cabinet (4). Inter-Sorority Council (4). Class Swimming Team (3). There is a warm spot in everybody ' s heart for Katie Olney. In her are united capability and sociability — a most happy combination. She is a girl lhat fits in sympathetically with one s every mood, and we are beginning to be jealous of the lucky world that gets her next June. Wayne C. Overture, Ph.B. ' I ' A O. Newark High School. Calliope. Pan- Hellenic Council. - Y. M. C. A. Cabinet (4). Assistant Manager Denisonian (3). Wayne expected to graduate last year, but Provi- dence decreed otherwise. We are mighty glad to have had him with us another year, and expect to hear of many good propositions being boosted by Wayne when he gets out into business. 48 yium 1316— Delbert R. Pratt, B.S. Doane Academy 1912. Franklin. Genetics Club. Assistant in Bacteriology (3, 4). As his record shows, Pratt ' s chief interest is in Biology. As assistant in this department he has shown no mean ability. We expect to hear from him in after life. Allen T. Price, Ph.B. $ r A. Morgan Park High School. Calliope. Pan- Hellenic Council. H. and P. S. A. Assistant in History (3, 4). Old Sleuth is a shark in history — not only history such as Professor Whittlesey and he teach, but in the history of the college and community. He is one of those men who believe, not in setting the world on fire, but rather in doing things so quietly and thoroughly that you forget the man in the work. Florence Rees, Ph.B. Pemberville High School 1912. Thalia. Home Economics, Denison 1914. Vice President Thalia (3) . Y. W. C. A. Cabinet (4). Street Council (4) . Assistant in English (4). Florence has graduated once, in Domestic Science; but that did not hurt her disposition, so she decided to try it again this year. Her specialties are languages and English, along with a sweet tooth for candy and a mama for serving cocoa on all occasions. We will miss more than the cocoa. Thomas H. Rees, B.S. Sycamore. Rayen High School (Youngstown) 1912. Franklin. Class Treasurer (4). Tommy led the quiet life of a sober bachelor until the Irving-Cicero Contest of 1915. Then he burst forth in such a blaze of glory that his name became the by-word of the Sem. What a tragedy — it ' s un- timely end! ' Twas but short-lived on earth, but lives forever in the western sky at the close of an autumn day. iMCI!BllllllIlill!ll,llllilllli |i . i„!,ii ' 1,1.0,). i,y;iii!ilisi;i:i ' ii ' !l!ia 49 v yium 1916 g: Verna Salisbury, Ph.B. Ml. Vernon High School 1911. Philo. Street Coun- r cil (4). H. and P. S. A. a Verna is ihe one who can make us laugh when we i are plunged in ihe depths of despair. Her frank re- marks, to the point and spicy withal, have won for her the laurels of having a head like a tack. She = formerly sojourned in King Hall, but now if you go over into Stone and hear some one calling, Ma-ry De-ee-an! you will realize that Verna has changed her place of residence. Leland D. Shock, B.S. Ben. Norwalk High School. Football (2, 3). Basket Ball Manager (3). Masquers (2, 3). Chairman Field Day Committee. Assistant in Engineering. Lee hails from Squeedunk, but he is a very likable chap in spile of such a blight. He has had hard luck during the years of his college course, but has, never- iheless, made an enviable record while here — as a E student, fusser, and athlete. We don ' l know what he intends to do in the future, but are sure that it will be done right. Raymond C. Smart, Ph.B. Sidney High School 1911. Franklin. Denisonian Staff (3, 4). Adytum Board. President Franklin (4). Here again we have one of our modest students who hasn ' t much to say. But if there is anything in this world he is afraid of, most assuredly it is not work. We foresee in him a most useful citizen. Gloyd T. Stankard, B.S. Ken. Toledo High School 1911. Alligator. Class President (3). Y. M. C. A. Cabinet (4). Mem- ber Board of Control. Football (3, 4). Basket Ball (4). Stank is one of the most popular and best-liked men in college, and he surely deserves it. Modest and unassuming, yet always genial and pleasant, and above all a man clear through, he will be remembered for a long time to come. i i %aiwiiwiiiiiiMii ' ' 50 Charles C. Starrett, Ph.B. S X. Culver Military Academy 1912. Wooster Col- lege (1, 2). Franklin. Denisonian Staff (4). Adytum Board. H. and P. S. A. Chuck must have learned the lesson of obedience well at Culver and Wooster, for who but remembers how he attended Dr. McKibben ' s every wish, and how when Kibby requested us to muffle our mouths when we cough or sneeze and thereby prevent the spread of disease — Chuck acceded with a red ban- danna ? Irvin L. Swanson, B.S. $A0. Moline High School 1912. Geological Society. D. D. D. (1, 2, 4). President Illinois Club (3, 4). Track (2). Football (2). Baseball (3, 4). Throughout his earlier college career, Levi majored in athletics and fussing. This year he has majored in athletics, though ' tis said that his vacations are pretty busy. He is a loyal member of the Illinois Club and was twice president. Swede claims tc be one of the famous products of Molme. Edward M. Taylor, Ph.B. i Ae. Marion High School. Franklin. D. D. D (I, 2, 3). Masquers (3, 4). Orchestra (2, 3 4). Denisonian Staff (1, 2). Adytum Board. Ed s chief ambition has been along dramatic lines — if the Dandy Darkies can be included in that — foi he has shown great interest in that special course. As a Cavalier, he made himself a terror to many an in nocent frosh. Carl L. Thiele, B.S. rA. Stivers High (Dayton). D. D. D. (1, 2) Chairman (3). Glee Club (1, 2, 3, 4). Pan- Hellenic Council (3). Adytum Board. Football (2, 3, 4). Basket Ball (2, 3, 4), Captain (4) Baseball (3, 4). Track (3, 4). Dutch IS one of the biggest athletes who has evei attended Denison. Besides gaining All-Ohio positions in football and basket ball, he has won his D in base- ball and track, and says he is going to add the fifth this year. In addition to keeping up his athletic and scholastic work, Dutch is working two shifts on a job in Newark — and that is a man ' s work. 51 Alice B. Tifft. Ph.B. ! A Wauwatosa High School 1912. Euterpe. President Euterpe (4). Street Council (3). Inter- Sorority Council (3, 4). Y. W. C. A. Cabinet (4). Adytum Board. H. and P. S. A. Allie has been with us four years, but it has not laken that long to find out her fine points. We soon learned to like her, and continued to do so (this does not include only the fair sex, for what would Curls do without her?). We will long remember her happy disposition. Margaret Tipton, Ph.B. X VA. Ironton High School 191. Philo. Y. W. C. A. Cabinet (4). Vice President Philo (4). We think that Margaret would make a good soldiei — always ready for work, always cheerful, and always keeping her head whatever emergency may arise. Tip IS one of these sharks who complete a college course in three years, and we are sorry not to have her with us the extra year. Kenneth L. Ullman, Ph.B. ZX, e, MA. Doane Academy 1912. Glee Club (2, 3, 4), Manager (3). D. D. D. (1, 2, 3). Adytum Board. Pete IS another rival of Karl Eschman. Most any kind of a musical instrument is at home with Sheister. His mandolin would make him an excellent lover, but he s not so inclined. Pete is a mighty good friend and a good sport all the time. Dorothy Van Winkle, B.S. Cheyenne High School. Philo. Chemical Society. Assistant in Chemistry (3, 4). Y. W. C. A. Cabinet (3, 4), President (4). Secretary Philo (2). Chemistry and Math seem to be Dorothy ' s strong points, but Jimmy is her specialist this year. Y. W. C. A. work has taken her attention particularly, and she has done much for this important side of Shepardson life. 52 Robert P. Vickers, B.S. Doane Academy. Calliope. Assistant to Dr. Carney. Geological Society. Secretary Scientific Associa- tion. Instructor of Geography in Doane Academy. Assistant in Geology. Bob is one of our gray-beards among assistants. The titles of Secretary to Dr. Carney and Instructor in Doane sound pretty big for a mere undergraduate, but Bob is more than equal to them. You will see him with pack and hammer hiking off over the hills many a day. His zither furnishes him with plenty of relaxation, as he needs it. Sara E. Walker, A.B. Newark High 1910. Euterpe. Sara is a young lady of few words and many deeds. Her brilliance in Greek is only excelled by her facility in tatting. Surely there could be no happier combination of attributes than those of the mental and domestic type. John A. Ward, Ph.B. •I ' TA. Newark High. Business Manager Denisonian (4), Staff (2, 3). Jack is a newspaper man first, last, and all the time. Thouph he once had a brush with Coonie about one of his reportorial contributions, he came through without injury and is now official newsgatherer for our community. We see a future for him in the edi- torial world. Russell E. West, B.S. r A. East High (Rochester, N. Y.) Orchestra (2, 3). Chairman Football Banquet Committee (2). Assistant Manager Denisonian (3). Assist- ant in Engineering (2, 3, 4). Rusty, as red-haired folks are apt to be, is capable of showing us all a few tricks in the art of successful fussing. If you think he hasn ' t been suc- cessful, so look at his photograph gallery. Next to fussing. Rusty puts engineering. 53 yium me Charles S. Willis, Ph.B. Ben. Washington C. H. High. D. D. D. (I). Masquers (3, 4). Glee Club (1, 2). Class President (1). Individual Point Winner in Class Track (3). Football (2, 3, 4). Track (2, 3, 4). Pan-Hellenic Council (3), President (4). Monk is one of our trusty athletes — and fussers. Everything from track to football has seen his prowess, and in track he has left us some records that will be hard to beat. While his rep on the football team was made by his constant kidding of the other team, you will find Monk more of a worker than a kidder in most things. Wilfred C. Woodyard, Ph.B. - X, e. La Grange (111.) High School. Franklin. Alligator. D. D. D. (1,2). Pan-Hellenic Coun- cil. Manager Baseball (4). President Athletic Association (3). Secretary Student Council (3). Denisonian Staff (3). Y. M. C. A. Cabinet (3, 4). Adytum Board. Woody established his name in the college by the famous Stankard and Woodyard Clothing Co. Since then he has been the pilot of the Athletic Asso- ciation and Secretary of the Student Council. His ability in la langue Francais leaves nothing for Kibby to desire. Woody has accomplished much in his four years with us. g Saburo Yasumura, Ph.B. Morioka Middle School. Franklin. Student Volun- teer Band. Yasumura is a sure enough Jap, but as white as the best of us. He has had a hard climb, but the top IS his now, and he certainly measures up to the Denison type. We will be waiting to hear great things from him in the Flowery Kingdom after he gets back there. Wayne A. Yoakam, B.S. I Ae. Homer High School. D. D. D. (3). Pan- Hellenic Council (3). Cross Country (3). Base- ball (2, 3, 4). Yoak ' is one of the best little baseball players we have had for the last several years. As a pitcher, he makes em all sit up and take notice. He says that he hails from Homer. Whether this town with the Grecian name accounts for his ability as a wrestler, we cannot say, but he sure has the knack there. 54 cAdyium 1316— Where forest trees, like giants, guard the circle of the hills; Where sere fields sleep in winter ' s tattered brown. And in the valley glides a swift stream by ; There, Traveler, stands my college, fair and high. And smiles upon a little kneeling town. Of old, I took the yellow hours that Day, the maiden, gave. And spent them in Time ' s toyshop for sweets; With comrades gayly ate them. All the while The gray old miser watched us with a smile. Saying, When Bread is gone, then Hunger eats. Ha! Ha! we laughed, and blew our cheeks and mocked the hoary man; And ran away to seek another place. But came a master full of cruel rage, Wlio beat us sore and locked us in a cage; And here we work, and fear to see his face. These bars I ' ve named for Toil and Need; this broken one is Hope. O do you think that ever I ' ll be free? For I ' d go back to Granville Town, And wander up and wander down To find Time ' s toyshop where it used to be. O Traveler, ask the sun so bright, and the stars and pitying moon. To look upon my college high. To tell the trees and the fields that dream, To tell the valley and gliding stream. That I ' ll love them till I die. 55 57 yium 1316- lice % I r Edward W. Putnam Ruth Mills Katherine Wood Stuart H. Prescott President Edward W. Putnam Vice President...

There is just one more rung and then the jumping-off place. Perhaps some of our illustrious class are already prepared to jump, but we know that hot air rises more quickly than the cool variety. When we get to the jumping-off place, instead of leaping into obscu- rity and oblivion, as former classes have done, we are going to sail right over in our aeroplane to the heights of fame ' . We are here — why? The seniors say that it is because they showed us the way. The sophomores say they boosted us. The freshmen claim that we derived our inspirations from the green. But we say that we are here because you cannot put good people out of the way. It has been said that many are called but few chosen. So it has been with us. Some waited for the elevator and were left behind. Some, perhaps, tried to ride, but few horses can climb. Some have risen by sticking to other people; while others have found climbing too strenuous and have taken the course of least resistance. However, those who are left of us are here and we are satisfied, because we have learned that the best lasts longest, and we are pretty good stickers. We have often thought, but our modesty never before permitted us to speak, of what would happen to Denison if the class of 1917 should suddenly leave her Alma Mater. The Y. M. C. A. would be a sad wreck; the Denisonian would go to pieces; the Y. W. C. A. would be in despair. Foot- ball, basket ball, baseball, tennis and the track teams would be sadly lacking in efficient men, for many of them are from our class. But why frighten you so, for we expect to be here a little while yet. The faculty just would not let us go. Originality is one of the characteristics of our class. We believe in lead- ing and not following — hence the canes that you see walking about, the scarlet and gray caps, the traditional reports of the Vassar Vets and the Pink Tea Party at Beaver Field. Our stunts and social functions have alwavs been very successful and every member of our class has enjoyed them. This year the Junior Banquet was the crowning affair, and brought out more spirit and loyalty to the class than had ever been felt before. So we are setting a most worthy example for the underclassmen, who are earnestly striving to attain to our standards. We have worked willingly, going onward through college, each autumn seeing our tasks begin, each sum- mer seeing them close. 59 John T. Allison. .. Pittsburg, Pa.

To us it seems but yesterday That we were freshmen here. And now as Juniors stern, we play Our part for one short year. When first we saw old College Hill And all its clustered halls. We each one felt a happy thrill Of love for those dear walls. And as we came to see and know Our beauteous Denison, We felt our college spirit grow Until our hearts were won. So now we stand, her children strong. Pledged to defend her name; And sing her praises loud and long. And shout abroad her fame. Thus shall the class of Seventeen Be placed in honor high; And Denison shall praise us e ' en Until the last man die. 71 v yfum me The Scrap The Log Ready for the Game — Vassar vs. Denison Washington ' s Birthday ' Junior Girls ' BucKERS Breakfast 72 President Albert Van Beach Vice President RuTH EldRIDGE Secretary Ethel Collett Treasurer..

U. 74 1914 we entered Denison, strong in numbers and enthusiastic in ! spirit. Our first official act was to adopt Uncle Sam Brierly ' s new plans for permanent organization, whereby we proudly lay I claim to being his pet class. Our first appearance in public was at the Tea Party given by our peace- loving ' sophomore friends. Later we had our first experience with the chicken suppers provided by the good ladies of Alexandria — also with the whole- hearted way it has of raining in this part of the country. However, we were given a beautiful day when we had our Fall Stunt at Arbutus Ridge. We do not like to boast, but when it comes to athletics, we feel very proud of ourselves. To be sure, we were beaten by the sophomores in both football and basket ball our freshman year, but by such small margins that it did not reduce our confidence in our prowess. This year we are back again, fewer in numbers but with more enthusiasm than ever, if that is possible. A Scrap Day was planned and organized to determine the question of superiority between the sophomores and freshmen. We won two out of the three events against a class outnumbering u s two to one. To keep our class always before the public, we wear our sweaters, proud of their green and white, and of all they represent. And so we have passed two out of our four years, loyal first to Denison and then to our class in whose honor and greatness each one of us has all con- fidence and trust. May we go on as we have begun, and may the last half of our college career have as good a record as the first. 75 -E (dyium me Top Row— p. H. Askin, F. G. Browne, H. A. Carr, G. W. Baldwin, J. G.

For wormwood quaffed from two such skulls would sweeter posset be Than honey from the jeweled cups of royal majesty. No Bacchanalian festivals upon the sides are shown. But simply the gaping, hollow eyes from which the soul has flown. And on the brow of one we see the numerals one and nine. While on the other ' s jaw, the scars of one and seven we find. Come! fearless men. Come! maidens fair, the spoils are our own. Cur Alma Mater ' s many sons shall learn of our renown. Two years in Victory ' s service still. Two years? Ah no! — a life! For Eighteen finds the sweetness of existence m the strife. Then fill the cups up to the brim with Victory ' s sparkling wine! The heights which we have won are but the foothills of our climb. There ' re greater battles waiting up; there ' s stronger foes to fight. Whose skulls we hope to quaff from ' neath our colors, green and white. 82 {dyium 1310— 83 Herman G.

Although the greater part of that time has been spent in hard work, yet we feel as though some of the happenings of our class should be recorded. First, on that memorable day last fall we won the relay race. It is true we lost the other two events of the day, but we did our best to win and we are comforted by the fact that not failure, but low aim is crime. Socially our record is also worthy of note. The first stunt of the year was a bacon bat which took place at the old stone quarry, and was the means of our becoming better acquainted. This was followed by the picnic supper given by the girls at the close of the freshman-sophomore football game. Then came our class banquet at Alexandria. Everything was ideal for a good time; a fine evening, a splendid feed, and almost the entire class in at- tendance. This is one of the events that will not soon be forgotten. Then too, our athletic record has been good. Our football team was almost entirely composed of high school stars, and our basket ball team is showing up well. From the present outlook, nineteen nineteen will have sev- eral varsity football and basket ball men next year. This briefly is our history since entering Denison. Of course, it would be impossible to record all the individual victories that have brought honor to our class, but from what has happened and what promises to happen, old D. U. will be proud of 1919. 85 v yium 191 6 Top Row— F. F. Burnsworth, A. E. Aler, M. B. Barker, C. F. Bahnsen, D. M. Butler, C. T. Burner, L. F. Athy. Bottom Row — G. E.

Ladd 98 VERY great institution has some vital principle in its organization. Den ison will always be famed for that characteristic force known as the Denison spirit. From the youngest freshman to the alumnus of the sixties, that spirit means something more real than the col- lege itself, and yet not quite definable. The men and women who enter heartily into the activities and ambitions of the every-day college life are probably the best examples of what the Denison spirit actually is. With this idea in mind, we have endeavored to bring together types of all-around men and women from each class through the election of the students in those classes. Each of those who sub- scribed for the Adytum registered his or her idea of the most representative man and woman in his or her class. Not popularity nor any particular ability or talent was the basis of this election. Activity in a large part of the college life and real representation of their fellow classmates were the criteria of the choice. The Editor feels that the eight men and women selected have proved the possibility of illustrating the Denison spirit through typical Denisonians, and we present this group as truly representative of the student body today. 99 ALTER J. LIVINGSTON with Denison as a prefix, is the name which in the last few years has sent chills running through the spines of the coaches all over the state. Livy is noted for his unerring knowledge of Athletics, and such men as Reese, Black, Rupp, Prouty, Roudebush and many others are spreading his methods throughout the High Schools of the Middle West. Denison Athletics under the directing hand of Walter J. Livingston have advanced with wonderful swiftness; today we stand among the first in Ohio. No team schedules us now for a mere practice game, — we have passed that stage due to the untiring interests of one man for his Alma Mater. Livy has the confidence of every one in the College, his personality brings the best from the men under him, and this with his determination to win for Denison may be cited as the main reasons for our success in these last few years.

Stankard I Donald M. Ladd 101 v yium 1316 Deeiscon Athleties N the practical age in which we are hving, the college man is ex- pected to be equipped with more than a training which a Phi Beta Kappa key represents, and with even more than he can obtain from the fine religious atmosphere that is found at Denison. He is expected to have a well-developed body, and this is the business of the Athletic Department through its various teams and well-ecpuipped gymnasium. We have reached a place in our scholastic standing where an apology is no longer necessary, and our fine moral tone is nowhere excelled, and what is true of these two departments can rightly be said of our athletic standing. Our state champion teams speak for themselves. More men on the All-Ohio teams than any other institution in Ohio tells its own story. But even this is not the thing we are most proud of. The calibre of the personnel is the thing of which we are truly proud. They have been men who have represented the true Denison Spirit, when they have sacrificed personal gains in their loyalty to their fellows. Our watchword has been — is — and we hope always will be — Denison first. We are indebted to these men for carrying Denison ' s ideals throughout the state and country in their clean and manly sports. It is largely through their influence that the best type of young manhood is being drawn here to make our Denison the home we love so well. 102 c (dyi-u n 1316-1 103 c (dyhm me Football THE SEASON O the fickle goddess of good fortune, who often dabbles in that savory dish known as college athletics, we may to a great extent attribute our unsatisfactory football season. We will say unsatis- factory, because losing to Wesleyan is extremely so; but we can- not say unsuccessful, when we think of the stinging defeat we gave Miami. Fall practice began with about forty candidates. The material was the best ever seen at this institution, consisting of men with size and football ability. Although only a small per cent could make their letters, every man on the squad, did his best and did all in his power to make a winning team. That old spirit of fighting to the last was very prominent. The first game of the season was with Marshall College. This game was not particularly difficult and gave Livy a chance to make a general esti- mation of the team. A week later Wesleyan was played in Delaware. We lost by a 6 to 13 score. Denison had the ball in Wesleyan ' s territory a greater part of the time — at one time having it on Wesleyan ' s six-yard line, but fate decreed that Denison was not to score. On October 1 6, Wittenberg was played on Beaver Field and did not prove much of an obstacle to the Big Red eleven. The following week Livy ' s warriors journeyed to Cincinnati and succeeded in bringing home the bacon. Reserve was played at Cleveland on October 30. This was a hard- fought struggle from beginning to end. Denison had Reserve beaten twice, but Reserve finally came back and captured the big end of the score in the last quarter. This game was followed by one with Akron on the local field. In this game Captain Ladd made a touch-down from the kick-off, receiving the ball on his own 20-yard line. Now we come to the contest with Miami. First let us take a glance at the dope sheet. Wesleyan beat Reserve. Wesleyan beat Miami, and Deni- son was defeated by both Wesleyan and Reserve. According to dope, the Big Red didn ' t have a ghost of a chance. But wait a moment — down in Granville there was a man who said that dope didn ' t count in his opinion. A team of real men voiced the same senti- ments. Back of the coach and team stood every man and woman of the University. As a result of this determination and fighting spirit, Miami was defeated and all that perfectly good dope spilled. There was just a little too 104 much Rupp, an over sufficiency of Hickman and an unnecessarily large supply of Ladd and an overabundance of Denison football for the folks from Butler County. Denison kicked off to Miami. Miami fumbled. Denison recovered. Miami ' s line held and Rupp was forced to try a drop kick. This failed. Miami put the ball in play on their 20-yard line and lost the ball on downs near the 28-yard line. Denison carried the ball to Miami ' s six-yard line and Rupp again tried to drop kick goal. He missed. Miami punted from their 20-yard line. Denison put the ball in play on Miami ' s 35-yard line. Denison carried the ball to Miami ' s I 0-yard line by a forward pass, Rupp to Thiele. Denison again lost the ball and their third possible chance of scoring. Near the end of the first quarter Miami opened up and carried the ball to Denison ' s 1 8-yard line. First quarter ended. Second quarter. Denison recovered a forward pass on their two-yard line. Rupp punted out of danger. Miami again reached Denison ' s 18-yard line. Pierce of Miami attempted a field goal but was blocked. Miami re- covered but lost the ball on downs. Later in the quarter Pierce fumbled, and Willis recovered. Brock gained seven on end around. Rupp, Jenkins and Hickman carried the ball to the 28-yard Hne. Rupp gained five off tackle ; Hickman added four. The ball was on Miami ' s 1 4-yard line. Dutch passed to Ladd. Ladd wormed through Miami ' s defense for a touchdown. Ladd kicked goal. With the ball in Miami ' s possession Willis intercepted a forward pass. Punts were exchanged. The ball was now m mid-field and m Denison ' s possession. Two passes from Thiele to Rupp and Ladd carried the ball to Miami ' s 15-yard line. Jenkins made eight and Rupp three. Only a few yards to go, but the whistle blew and half ended. The third quarter was scoreless. Denison ' s score in the fourth quarter can be traced to the point where Thiele intercepted a forward pass on Ox- ford ' s 22-yard line. Jenkins made nine yards. Brock added three more by an end run. Rupp then crossed Miami ' s line for a touchdown. Ladd kicked goal. The game soon came to an end. Score Denison 14, Miami 0. 105 CAPT. LADD — Laddie is ihe boy that directs the plays, always calling the right signal at the right time. When it comes to running back punts, we have yet to see his equal. He IS full of pep and sure does keep things moving. Don has played his last season for the Big Red. RUPP— Captain-elect of the 1916 Squad. All- Ohio halfback. He is the boy that makes them all sit up and take notice. Some man, when it comes to carrying the ball, and the man that stops him realizes he hits some- thing. He IS there when it comes to punting. THIELE — Dutch, the man that can receive a forward pass or start one on its journey. The team that gams around his end has a big problem to solve — trouble is , it can ' t be solved. All-Ohio end. Enuf said. Sorry to say it, but Dutch leaves us in June. WILLIS — Monk is the man that instructed his wor- thy opponents in the art of football. He played a good, consistent game at center and was always reliable. Monk always had plenty of enthusiasm, and kept the boys in a supply of pep. . ■ ■ , 106 i c ldyium 1316— HARRINGTON — Sam was a regular old stone-wall. He filled a big hole at guard. Sam sure did like to get the ball on the kick-off. He always had the pep and would fight until the last. Another Senior. MARSH — Earl seems never to be m a hurry but always gets there. He played a steady, consistent game at guard. Believe he made one touch-down, but it didn ' t count. HICKMAN— Hick is sure a football player. He could always be counted on for a gain. When it came to tackling, he knew the art, and many an opponent can vouch for it. STANKARD — Stank alternated at center. He is a hard, consistent player and could be relied upon at any time. His opponent always realized that he had a man against him. Stankard is another man that we are to lose by graduation. 107 z (dyium me BROCK— Babe in weight is one of the smallest men on the team — in ability one of the biggest. He was always down under punts. Babe could catch forward passes. He also liked the end around play. Babe will be with us another year. • - SHOCK— Lee was a man that could play almost any position. At end he always delivered the goods. At half he was no slouch. Question is: Will he be here next year? CLARY — Dick played a consistent game at tackle. He has the size and strength, and has always succeeded in stopping bucks through his position as well as opening holes on the offensive. He has another year. SMITH — ' Smittie the little big guard. He was always in the game and could be counted on for the best there was in him. Another year for you. 108 yium 1316-1 LANG — Chubby began the year by piloting the sec- ond team, but Livy discovered that he was a valuable back- field man. He isn ' t very big but he can certamly find the holes in the line. Two more years for him. JENKINS — Sid is one of those Sophs that made good with a vengeance. At half he has played a remarkable game. Although he is not very big, he can slip through the hne for big gains. Sid has two more years for the Big Red. MEREDITH— Bill played the tackle position. He could stop anything. Bill can kick that ball some on the kick-off. He played a mighty consistent game. He is another Sophomore with two years ahead of him. DECKER — Dek is another one of those fellows that made good in his Sophomore year. He played a hard, consistent game from start to finish, ball. He can also pass that 109 SHORNEY— Herb was the boy that could be counted on in the pinches.

He played a good game and still has two more years with us. LYON — Snake made a real manager for one of the best teams Denison has had for a long time. Every little thing for the comfort of the team was watched and pro- vided. He acted upon the principle that a good manager IS one who works all the time for the team. yium 131 X CQ X d u Q X X u d, a. ffl _1 J « U OS u ui H d 15 H J U U u 3 CQ uj , d -j -1 o CQ . dO „- O = -i I Qi o ;0 Z 9, o 2 •- cqi: x s c o n H ooa CQ 111 DORMAN E.

Denison did it. For the third time in as many years, Coach Livingston ' s Big Red quintet has captured the State Championship title. Team-work means victory, was the team ' s slogan, and they lived up to it through every stage of the game. Perfect harmony existed among the players of the varsity quintet. Their passing was quick, short and sure. Col gate, one of the best teams of the East, was defeated on the local floor by a score of 45 to 34. This was a fast game from start to finish, both teams displaying wonderful team work. Denison ' s old rival, Ohio Wesleyan, was defeated twice during the season. Denison then won a game from Ober- lin and lost another to the Congregationahsts on their floor. This was the second Ohio Conference game lost by the Big Red in two years. The team was made up of the best athletes in the State. Thiele and Reese being unanimously chosen for the All-Ohio quintet. Thiele outplayed every opposing center and Reese at the guard position never had an eoual. Captain Jones, playing guard, was the lightest man on the team. He was a fast and consistent player. Jonsie could shoot a basket from any angle of the floor, as well as keeping the other team from scoring. Roudebush played a great game at forward. It was Roudy ' s first year on the Big Red, but he made good with a vengeance.

Before this time indoor practice had been held and the boys had worked some of the kmks out of their arms while they were waiting for the balmy breezes of spring time. The team consisted mostly of new material, but Livy surely made them play ball. Yoakam, Biggs, Adams and Marsh composed the pitching staff. Lad- die handled the basket. Reese and Roudebush held their old positions at third and short, respectively. Thiele was the first sacker, while Bacon held down second. Swanson, Burrer, Eswine and Odebrecht composed the out- field string. Denison won four games and lost four. A great deal of enthusiasm was displayed at the Varsity-Alumni game. Varsity won from the Old Sluggers ' by a score of 1 4 to 0. 118 Den Den Den Den Den Den Den Den Den son.- son.. son., son., son., son., son. son., son..

His fielding was clean and at times sensational. He has another year on the diamond. Burrer, the speed king, could grab off everything that came his way. Stealing bases was his specialty.

At second base he took in everything, and was there when it came to a squeeze play. Eggs has two more years. Marsh was used on the slab and in the outfield. He was a consistent hitter and a sure fielder. In the Alumni game he had all the old stars dazzled. Yoakam. Probably the best pitcher on the staff. His curves had all the slug- gers fanning the air. Yoaky was the Big Red ' s stand-by on the mound. He has another year on the Big Red. Biggs. When it came to putting the English and steam on that old ball, Biggsie was right there. He always pitched a good game and could clout the ball. LadD. Laddie, the little backstop, was always on the job. He could peg any base with the sureness of an archer. He was a good man at the stick and a speedy base runner. EswiNE. Red was an outfielder. When it came to clouting the ball, he led them all. In the Kenyon game he got four hits, — one being a home run. OdebrecHT. Odie played his first year on the Varsity. As an outfielder he always delivered the goods. He received his sheep-skin in June.

Espec- ially IS this true, when some men form the nucleus of two of the teams. This was the situation which confronted Coach Livingston this spring, and proved to be a great impediment to the track team in particu- lar this year. The season started with a defeat that was hard to take. The first meet was an indoor affair with Ohio University opposing the Big Red team. The official for the meet failed to appear, so that office was bestowed upon the janitor of the Ohio gymnasium. In the first race the Denison sprinters were not educated to the starting system of the worthy janitor, and allowed the Athenians to beat them jumping the gun. As a result, the race was over before they had left their marks. It is enough to say that Ohio beat Denison for the first time in track by a score of 5 1 to 50. Minus the services of several valuable men who were either with the baseball team or in bed, Denison next had a ha rd time beating Otterbein 65 to 52. Captain Chase and Burrer were put out of the scoring by accidents during their races. When Denison tackled Miami on May 8, they simply stepped out of their class. The Miami men performed in true championship style, breaking several track records and beating the Big Red team 79 to 40. Just to take the bad taste out of their mouths, we next got a chance for sweet revenge on Ohio, and we certainly took enough of it when we got a chance. With a full team, alive with pep and longing for revenge, we sprinkled our dust in the faces of the down state boys and defeated them 76 to 42. Revenge is sweet. The season was brought to a close one rainy day in Columbus at the Big Six meet. Denison failed to show the necessary style and was forced to occupy a lower berth. With a majority of the old team back and with the finds that have been uncovered this year, Denison ' s prospects for a winning team for the next year look very bright. 125 HE tennis season of 1915 was a success. Although we did not win the state championship, we ranked as one of the three best teams in Ohio. The best showing was made at Columbu when Ohio State was tied, Reese and Roudebush winning their singles against Wirthwein and Rudyard, while Moore and Scott lost to Carran and Maxon. In the doubles, Reese and Roudebush lost to Carran and Wirthwein, but the match was tied when Scott and Moore defeated Rudyard and Maxon. This was the only time that the Red team was pushed. Wesleyan, Kenyon, Capitol, Otterbein, and Ohio, were easily defeated. The state tournament was somewhat of a disappointment to Denison fans. Reese and Roudebush were not able to attend, or the results might have been different. In the singles we had to be satisfied with being in the semi-finals, and in the doubles we lost to Oberlin, who won the tournament. At the close of the 1915 tennis season, Reese, Moore, and Roudebush played their last games. These men did a great deal for tennis at Denison. Their work will not be soon forgotten. Great interest was taken in the local tournament. Roudebush defeated Moore in the finals in singles. This was a very interesting match, bringing forth some of the best tennis ever seen on the local court. In the doubles, Reese and Roudebush defeated Moore and Scott. The interest in tennis has increased each year, and with many sophomore aspirants in the field, Denison ought to have a winning team again in 1916. 126 - yium 1310-] J. T. Allison, S. H. Prescott, O. L. Atchley, G. W. Baldwin, G. S. Seagrave HE cross country season started off this fall with a big handicap. None of last year ' s varsity men were able to come out. Thus the team was composed entirely of green material. The following men were chosen in the try-outs: Baldwin, Atchley, Prescott, Allison, and Seagrave. Allison was elected captain. The team took part in only one meet — at Columbus. But one meet, and that with the strongest teams in the state, made a hard schedule for a new team. They had no time to test out their strength with other opponents before coming up against the biggest meet in the state in cross country. Deni- son was somewhat outclassed by the other teams at Columbus, but the men did not have the chance to show their true worth. The members of the squad deserve much credit for their up-hill work, and it is to be hoped that next year a better schedule will open up better prospects for cross country running at Denison. 127 yium me UTSIDE of the regular college teams, the Leaders ' Class is Livy ' s particular hobby. On Tuesday evening of each week this class meets for three hours drill in apparatus work and training for gymnasium leadership. During the basket ball season the Leaders ' Class entertains the audience between halves with stunts of various kinds, such as pyramid building, apparatus work, marching drills, tumbling stunts, and games. The audience never fails to show its appreciation by enthusiastic applause. The class actually fills an important place in the Physical Department of the college. Training of such a kind as it offers is invaluable to anyone who contemplates directorship in Y. M. C. A. work. 128 T yium 1316 Sliepards©e Atlileitic Association Brumback -. Seagrane E.

The well-equipped building, Doane Gymnasium, has been in constant use and has seen numerous activities during the past year. The Shepardson Athletic Association has a good organization and num- bers among its members almost the entire roll of the Shepardson students. Early each fall there is held under its auspices a big party for the members. This year it was a fancy dress ball to which each freshman girl acted as escort to a girl of one of the other classes. Shepardson athletics are many and varied including, beside the regular classes. Basket Ball, Tennis, Indoor Baseball and Swimming. The mcreas- ing interest in all of these sports promises well for the work for the future. - yrum 131 Q HE season of 1915 marks an important step forward in basket ball for Shepardson. The reason for this is that the first big inter- collegiate game was played between the girls of Cincinnati Uni- versity and Shepardson. When the plans for the big game were inally completed by the manager of the team and the Athletic instructor. Miss Bradstreet, there was great excitement and enthusiasm among the girls of Shepardson at the idea of having an out-of-town game. When the date of March 6 finally came, eight girls and a chaperon arrived from Cincinnati and the game was played at three o ' clock in the afternoon in Doane Gymnasium. The gymnasium was entirely filled and great was the excitement during the whole game. Although Cincinnati won, 1 7 to 11, Shepardson put up a won- derful game and were good losers in the contest. The Cincinnati girls were entertained by the Shepardson team at a banquet Saturday evening, after which they went to the 1917 Spring Stunt held in the gymnasium. In class basket ball, 1915 for the second season captured the champion- ship banner. Class numerals were presented at the Cincinnati game to all those who had played one half in three separate games, and each girl on the All-Shepardson team was presented with an S .

The contest includes the breast stroke, side stroke, swim- ming under water and on the back, floating, plunging, carrying, and a relay race. There were two contestants from each class, the highest average being reached by the class of 1916, the class of 1918 coming in as a close second. The following entries were made from each class: 1915 Lillian Boggs Hazel Bolin 1916 Alma Brumback Katherine Olney 1917 Miriam Hastings Florence Mason 1918 Ruth Wickenden Juliet Barker Alma Brumback was champion swimmer for the third successive year and was presented with the silver loving cup. 135 The Champion ENNIS received very enthusiastic support during the last year and the court was kept busy between the frequent spring showers. The class champions were as follows: 1915 Hazel Bolin 1916 Alma Brumback 1917 Margaret Shardelow 1918 Ruth Eldridge D. A. Helen Ray It has been the custom m the past years for the champion of the previous year to play off the finals with the more recent champion, in that way securing the Shepardson College Championship. Ruth Eldridge won this champion- ship for the year 1915, and received the racquet from the Athletic Association. 136 cAdyrum 131 — ]ACH year there is held on Shepardson Campus in the latter part of J May a carnival given by the girls ' gymnasium classes. Folk I dances of all kinds are presented, and the occasion is one of the big events of the spring. The All-Shepardson letters and the class basket ball letters are given out at this time, and frequently the finals of the Tennis Championship are played off. The day has become one of the most firmly rooted customs of Shepardson College, and is always the occasion of the return of many alumna. On account of the numerous rains of the spring of 191 5, the Carnival had to be held in the Swasey Gymnasium. The grand march opened the program, w ith practically every girl in Shepardson in the line. Then followed the various class dances. The sophomores gave the Highland Fling, and then came the freshmen with their Weaving Dance. This was one of the prettiest and sprightliest dances ever seen at a Carnival. The grace of the Iris Waltz of the juniors was followed by the dignity of the Pennant March of the seniors. The Italian Tarantella by the Academy girls was voted best of all by some, and was surely a most fascinating and lively dance. The sophomore custom of the May Pole was carried out by the girls of that class as a very fitting climax to the afternoon ' s marches and dances. Miss Annabel Bradstreet, the Physical Director of Shepardson, had full charge of the whole Carnival, and certainly prove d the thoroughness and care of her training in the success of the day, even when carried out under such difficult circumstances. 137 - yium 131 6 ISS BRADSTREET is certainly a true impersonation of her art. She never beheves in doing things by halves. When she is on the athletic floor, she is all teacher; but v hen out with the girls, she is just one of them. This is her third consecutive year at Shep- ardson, and not for years has the Athletic Association been so flourishing. Through her influence basket ball has held a large place in athletics among the girls. Good sportsmanship in everything is her watchw ord, and she en- forces it with word and deed. 138 BOOK V The Story Corner c ( yium 1310-] FIRST PRIZE STORY By Nellie Ballou, ' 16 HE voices of the black oarsmen rose in a wailing chant, and the big fellow in the bow of the crazy boat sat, a shadowy bulk, like a sleeping vengeance; but his soul was alive behind his burning eyes, and it linked meanings of hatred and death to the uncouth words of the rowers. A second traveler seemed to feel the war song, for his lithe body moved nervously under his khaki garb, and his white helmet was pulled so low that only his thin, set mouth was visible when the boat glided from under the overhanging trees and mosses into a spot of light where the heavy tropical moon looked down upon the river. Suddenly the black men hushed their chant; the movement of the boat ceased, and with grimaces and horrible duckings they made their fiendish prayers to a river-horse that stood half-asleep in the sluggish water. Their patron demon was in a kindly mood, it would seem, for the animal did not stir, and the little crew went on m the close silence of the forest. It is strange that we, of all people, should meet in such circumstances, said the lithe traveler hoarsely. The other returned no answer. Have you spent all these years hiding from the law, Wardle? You are mistaken. My name is Conard, and I collect for British museums. I am glad, Jack. I have thought of you often. I dare say. Surely you do not blame me for that happening so long ago? My own honor forced me to expose you. One does not forget things so soon, who lives alone in the jungle. Then you still remember your oath? Yes, Peter Monroe, the big man answered tensely, and T renew i t: If ever we meet where the law does not shackle my hands, I shall requite you — a minute of living death for each year I have seen in the wilderness, hiding from disgrace that is worse than death; and in the end I shall cut out the heart of the man that caused me to flee from all I ever loved. I can do no more. And we are not yet free from the law? The voice of the other trembled in spite of his bravado. Conard glanced at the silent oarsmen who rowed on steadily, their eyes gleaming even in the shadows, and answered: Not yet, not yet. On the deepest shadow of the river ' s course, a still, black monster lies in wait for the crafts that go by. He has learned to like the taste of man ' s flesh, and the natives say he is the demon Koinuri that guards the island just below. The negroes gibbered wildly as they saw the dread creature in their path, but the slow current and the tangle of water plants held them helpless before his great jaws. There was a sudden shock and the frail boat was shattered as on a rock. Five men struggled in the river for life itself. Conard heard the shriek of a black man seized by the crocodile, and swam madly, forgetting all save the horror of destruction. He had almost reached the shore of the island when a dark head rose in the water not far away. The man seemed nearly exhausted, and Conard pulled him to land, glad 139 yium 1916 that the poor fellow had escaped. As they crossed the sand, his companion half fell, and when he tried to rise, it had drawn his feet from sight by its hungry power. He felt the man shudder, and at the same moment, a rift in the tree-tops let the moonlight through. It was not a native that clung to him, but Monroe. Cautiously, inch by inch, they gained the firmer ground, and sat upon the dank earth. A little serpent slid from the bushes near them and disappeared in the rank grass. There is but one law here, Monroe said huskily, the law of the strongest, and yet you saved me from the quicksand. Jack. Why did you do it? Conard bowed his head upon his breast, and it was long before he spoke. You are the only means I have of finding the answer to one question. You know it already. What has become of Alice — my Alice? Monroe turned away and groaned. My wife was well, when last I saw her, seven month ago. Your wife! Must I bear that too? The big man started up and clutched his companion fiercely. He was shaken with rage, but with the strength of ten he grappled with Monroe and together they went strug- gling and reeling down the little slope — down to the treacherous sands. A knife flashed white in the air, and fell vainly on the shore, where its heavy handle sank slowly, and last of all, the thirsty blade, and ceasing to contend, both men watched it disappear. Conard ' s rueful gaze turned to hatred as he met Monroe ' s glassy eyes. Forcing him to his knees, he endeavored to strangle him, and his face, upturned in agony, was bathed in lurid moonlight. Conard ' s hands relaxed their hold, and he shrank back. His eyes widened with horror and his jaw dropped. For there were ominous spots upon the pale skin of his antagonist. Jungle fever! he cried, and covered his face. As they sat, neither daring to speak, Monroe drew a little metal case from his pocket. If you get through, Conard, see that this is sent to Alice. I came here to get it for my university; it is a rare specimen, and the reward will take care of us — of Alice — for the rest of her life. We have no children. Conard did not answer, but a conflict was rending his soul. From his bosom he took a phial of many wrappings. He held it up to the moonlight. Scarcely a drop of the brown liquid remained. He mixed it with liquor from his flask. Once he put it to his lips with all a strong man ' s eagerness for life, but a higher fire came and seared the selfish hope. Man fought with demon, and the red heart conquered the red fiend. Monroe, he said, you yourself shall take it to her. Monroe stared at the little bottle. No, no, not this. Conard gave a mirthless laugh. Your precious bug or bird or whatever it may be, I mean. This stuff will cure your jungle fever. Monroe swallowed the potion with avidity. I hear another load of niggers coming. I think they will get by Koinuri, for he has been well fed tonight. We will hail them, and on you will go — to take good care of — Alice. The curious negroes wondered at the white traveler who hailed them at Koinuri ' s island of the greedy sand. They marvelled that he wept and clung to the great wild giant whom they had often seen in the forest. But they did not undersand his outlandish tongue, and could only take him down to the big village as he signalled them to do. But when they were gone, and the voices of the black oarsmen were lifted in a wailing chant far down the river, the big man sat, a shadowy bulk, on the island near the hungry sand; and when the burning of the fever filled his veins, and when fancies became more real than the earth and trees and little gliding serpents, he lay down on the bosom of our mother, and cried to the face of the pitying moon that he did not fear; for Alice would bless him and beg for him mercy when the Law of all Laws would bring him to judgment. 140 SECOND PRIZE STORY— By Marjorie Benoy MAGINE the rain coming down and down and down, and then more and more, rather indolently without making much fuss or racket, but just as if the sky hadn ' t energy enough to stop; and soaking your hat and dripping off the brim on to your shoulders, and trickling down your arms, and dripping, drop- ping, dropping, dripping from every corner and point of your whole person. And imagine it all darkness and wetness everywhere, up and down and all around, with the tall dark tenements leaning over you, and watching you suspiciously out of the corners of their eyes. Then imagine yourself the only human creature in that mixture of gloom and wetness; and you will feel what I felt on an evening in fall once upon a time. I was out enjoying the solitude, and had taken my stand at the place where a miserable little street lamp spilled its puddle of light on the cobble stones. A little farther on, a few rays of brightness slipped through the wmdow of an undertaker ' s shop and fell upon the wet, gleaming surface of a long box. That was all the illumination. Ram and gloom enveloped everything else. Presently another sound became audible above the drip-drop of the rain, — a swish, swish, of water-soaked boots. It was an uneven swish that suggested an eager hurry- ing after something. And somehow, with the first sound, a feeling of hopelessness and causeless sadness seized me. Perhaps it came upon my spirit from the gloom of the sur- roundings, I cannot tell. But at any rate I became unaccountably sad; when the owner of the boots turned his face toward me, the eager hope there, dimmed already by despair, made me accept without hesitation his mute invitation, and go with him. He went splash- ing through mud puddles, stumbling over stones, down one crooked street and up another, and I followed; until, at length, we turned a sharp corner, and came upon the banks of the river itself. My companion hesitated an instant, muttering something about a wooden bridge, then rushed forward. In a minute more we had reached the other bank, and came upon a little out-of-the-way station. They say that in the old days this was the chief stopping place, but that was long ago. It was still raining dismally when we stepped upon the platform, and the man turned to me and spoke then for the first time. My daughter, he said, hesitatingly and with some embarrassment, — she comes home from school tonight — would you mind — stepping into the room and asking if she has arrived yet? — my clothes are so wet — Surely, I said, I should be glad to do it. He had been fumbling in his pocket, and drew out now a tiny miniature painted on ivory, which he held up to the window for me to see. That ' s my daughter, he said proudly, as he twisted and turned it to get the best possible light. It was a picture of a young girl with sparkling black eyes, and rosy cheeks; and a queer little three-cornered scar at one side of her mouth, which gave her a decidedly unusual expression. He turned the picture from side to side, glancing at me every few minutes to see my pleasure; then he wrapped it in his handkerchief and put it away again in the place from which it had come with a sigh. I sighed, too, without knowing why. The clerk was sitting behind his desk when I went in, scratching away with a rusty pen in a musty, old ledger. An old lamp threw down a halo of yellow light on his ginger-colored hair. He turned his thin, wizened face toward me when I asked about the train, and the voice in which he answered was monotonous and rasping, as if rusty from long disuse. There is no evening train, he said, and his pen was beginning to scratch away 141 yium me mechanically again. It ' s scheduled for four o ' clock in the afternoon but it didn ' t stop today. When IS the next train? Same time tomorrow, or maybe the next day. He went on with his work, so I turned and went out. The man came towards me, but before I could speak the girl herself ran up to us and I knew her by the three-cornered scar, and the black eyes. After they had greeted each other most affectionately, the man turned to me and invited me to visit them at Crollytown. We live in the old Penston house, he said, anyone can point it out to you. We should be glad to see you at any time. Then he said something about being compelled to go by way oi the river, and they took their departure and soon had disappeared. I turned and went my own way. A week later I went to Crollytown and presented myself at the old Penston house. A woman opened the door, and I explained to her my reasons for being there. She looked at me rather coldly, and said that neither any man nor any girl lived there. No, she said, you must have the wrong house. She stepped back to close the door and, in doing so, let into the dark hallway a ray of sunshine which lighted up a picture in the corner with the very same face, the black eyes, and the three-cornered scar stood out before me. There, I cried, there is the picture of the very girl I mean — there on the shelf in the corner. But the woman was not convinced. Your story is all very beautiful, she said with fine scorn. She shut the door and I heard the bolt slide into place. 142 BOOK VI College Activities In the spring of 1914, the students of Granville College, on the recom- mendation of President Chamberlain, undertook the management of student affairs. A temporary constitution was adopted, and the following year was amended to include the management of the honor system. The student gov- ernment seems to have had some measure of success, but is still operated under the temporary plan. The constitution is now under revision, and it is hoped that the Board of Trustees will grant a permanent charter at their May meeting. Several years ago when the faculty and students of Shepardson College thought that the welfare of the college would be advanced by the develop- ment of an efficient system of self-government, the Student Association of Shepardson College was organized to meet the need. The students have in their control all matters concernmg their conduct that are not strictly academic. The Association does all in its power to further the interests of the students in all branches of their college life. 143 y-fum me C. A. Metcalf, G. H. Shorney, J. W. Gainfort, A. L. Johnson, F. W.

CALLIOPE LITERARY SOCIETY Calliope Literary Society was organized about the year 1836, making it now in its eightieth year. It aims to promote good literary work among the college men and to give its members parliamentary practice. Besides these, there is the social life usually connected with such societies. Its club life is now in the making. There is one big contest a year between the two college literary societies, known as the Lewis Prize Contest. Calliope holds her share of victories in this annual test of strength. President, B. C. MoRRIS cA yium 1310-1 Top Row— S. H. Prescott, R. A. Sheets, R. Thrailkill, J. L. Putnam, J. P. Turner, A. J.

The minutes of the society, however, show that irregular meet- ings were held before that time — as far back as 1 840. The aim of the society is briefly summed up in its motto: Excelsior. The members aim to attain excellence along lines of literature, music, and social life. The soci ety meets each Friday evening at 7:15. Debates, orations, essays, declamations, poetry, and music, all find a place on the programs. Upon the completion of the prescribed course, a diploma is issued which confers the degree of Bachelor of Rhetoric upon the holder. . President, C. F. HAMILTON : 148 Top Row— R. Yost. A. F. Smith, P.

Many of the men find a ready field for their efforts through supplying churches for a considerable radius from Granville. The Gospel Teams which go out from the college during the vacation periods are also well represented from the Association. Monthly meetings are held at which men prominent in religious work address the students. Dr. Barbour, President of Rochester Theological Semi- nary, was an honored guest during the first semester. 182 Top Row — J. H. Vawler, W. Zwayer, H. D. Clouse, E. Bodenweber, J. Q. Dietz, H. C.

George Wolff Colors: Orange and Black 228 c ldy-fum 1916— REAT classes, like great men, rise up only with long intervals of time and space between them. If we were to point to the records of Doane ' s teams for the past four years, we would all agree that the class of 1916 is one of those uncommon landmarks in her his- tory. Yet athletics is not to be considered the criterion of sixteen ' s merits, for her niembers have always taken a leading part in every phase of activity for their Alma Mater. The present senior class has always been marked as a congenial group of boys and girls, and the spirit of true fellowship has always pervaded our ranks. Now that our last year in old Doane is coming to a close, we look back on those days with a sense of pride and a feeling of appreciation for the many advantages we have enjoyed here. Our history began on that memorable day, September 14, 1912, when we first assembled in Professor Davis ' Latin class room. We had not been here long before people saw that a new era in Doane ' s history had just begun. A new influence was making itself felt in her affairs which has kept on grow- ing up to the present, and will continue to grow long after we are numbered among the alumni. For the first two years, we relied upon the upperclassmen, but in our junioi year we asserted ourselves by electing our class officers. We enter- tained the senior class in Cicero and Irving Halls. The evening showed that both classes were working in unison for the interest of the Academy. When we came back in the fall of 1915, the leadership had fallen upon our shoulders. As seniors we had reached the last of our journey. Our first real class stunt was held in Thome ' s Quarry, and what an evening it was! Seven of the class played on one of the best football teams Doane has ever had, while in basket ball and baseball, the stars have come largely from our ranks. In literary lines we have always taken a very active part. A sixteen man was at the helm of our debating team. Cicero, Irving, and Adelphian have been given a large part of their energy from our presence. For four years we have been represented in the Cicero-Irving Contest. Sixteen has not carved her name on any new athletic record as a mon- ument by which to be remembered after we are gone. She has done better than that, — she has carved her memory on the hearts of her friends. A few years from now we shall all be scattered over the broad face of the earth, but the cheering thought of our days at Old Doane will ever be a pleasant memory. One thing we ask of the future — Show us the path that onward lies To ideals true and greater joys; Lie it over the mountains or deep blue sea. Oh, show us the path, wherever it be! 229 TAdijTum 1316 Top Row— a. C. Wyse, G. S. Wolff, T. E. McMahon, K. R. Catlett, H. C. Phillips, W. H. Kull, M. F. Ashbrook, W. L. Hilscher, H.D. Rhoades.

It was a team that went into every game to fight to the finish, and it kept our opponents in constant terror even through the last few desperate moments. Hard work, determination, and self sacrifice on the part of both players and coach spelled our success for the season. Wherever Doane players have gone, coaches and members of the oppos- ing teams have commented on the excellent showing made by our boys. An exceptionally strong backfield coupled with a pair of good, alert ends, ac- counts for the 239 points scored by Doane against the 27 of her opponents. At the first, things looked blue for the Doane team. The material out, though good, was scarce; at times there were not enough out to make a full team, not to speak of the necessary subs. However, our coach and captam finally managed to get out a full team, and then some hard drilling was begun. The first contest, with Coshocton High, was held on the Granville field and resulted m a 72 to 0 victory for Doane. Of course, our boys were not called upon to exert themselves very much at this time. The next game — with Zanesville High — brought us our first and last defeat. Over-confidence was the chief factor in this 1 2 to 14 loss. Our next game was scheduled with Mt. Vernon, but was cancelled by them. On October 23, Doane showed that she was still in the ring by de- feating the aggressive Aquinas team from Columbus. The game, which re- sulted in a 31 to 6 victory, was a triumph for our line which held like a stone wall. Clinton High was next defeated by a 39 to 0 score. On November 6. the Newark camp was besieged and made to bow before Doane prowess. Great preparations were now being made for the game with Caldwell, who had not been scored upon for the past two years. At the last moment a telegram was received by Mr. Emswiler, cancelling the game. The Ohio School for the Deaf was defeated on November 20 by 41 to 0. On Thanks- giving Day at Cambridge, our old rival was defeated by a 1 0 to 7 score on its own field. This date marked the close of the Academy football career of at least seven players who are seniors. Although it was a well-balanced, all-around team, some players stand a little more in the lime-light than others. We feel that especial mention is due to Captain Kull, McMahon, McCollum, Skinny Hopkins, and Rusty Griffith, while Phillips, Kelsey, and Tompkins deserve a word of distinction. 235 Basket Ball Team Top Row — H.

If it does not, tear it out. Of course, if you want to keep what is on the other side of this page, just tear out this side. This joke editor is no joke, especially when you are joke editor of Doane Academy. You will find no finer bunch of students anywhere than you find in Doane, but that doesn ' t make jokes. They all plod along placidly in their weary routine of daily work, particularly the sophomores, who plod along in their Viri Romae. Which, of course, reminds us of Dr. Tilbe. One day last year Dr. Tilbe came to class without his glasses. The good doctor, I take it, is far-sighted, for he grasped his book and held it out at arm s length in his endeavor to read it. He looked up at us and said, You see there is nothing the matter with my eyes — its just that my arms aren ' t long enough. And then one day we were having paradigms. Such days will come, even in the best ordered classes. Well, Dr. Tilbe wanted to see whether we knew how to make an adjective agree with a noun, so he gave several of us a noun and an adjective to decline together — and some of us declined all right. Among others, he asked Lamb to recite. Mr. Lamb, run through ' a beautiful temple . Mr. Lamb being a good Baptist, refused to act so hastily in a sacred edifice, so his task was taken from him and given to one less devout, — Momeyer, I believe. And Hoiman Gleiss, you all know him — one day. Dr. Tilbe asked him what domus meant. Hoiman said it meant house. Yes, said Dr. Tilbe, but doesn ' t it mean more than just house. Oh yes, answered Hoiman, it means the place where you hang out. Dr. Tilbe sighed as he said, Yes, that ' s the modern meaning, although when I was younger we called it home. You know the way Dr. Tilbe said it. I got homesick right away and felt a lump coming up in my throat as big as Klein ' s vocabulary, and I began to long to see my mother and father and sister and — and — the fellow with whom I used to go. But that H oiman, he iDi7 bubble up, even in physical geography. Professor Bob Vickers holds forth — or fifth, I forget which, — in that class. Hoiman holds last. But once he got way out in front of the rest of us. Skinny Hopkins was reciting on the commercial value of the elephant. Skinny told him that the elephant was a beast of burden was invaluable to circuses, zoos, etc., and then he stopped. ' Correct so far, said the prof, but what product do we get from the elephant? Skinny was evi- dently at a loss to know how to answer this, when Hoiman came to the rescue. Hoiman sits next to Cheeseman. Look, Skinny, he yelled in a whisper, as he gently tapped Cheese ' s head. Skinny looked and a bright gleam shown in his eye, as he answered 1 know — ivory. Furthermore, Miss Armstrong added to the gayety of the nations in the same class. Prof. Bob ' had asked if there was any vegetation in the deserts, and had been told that there was very little. He seemed satisfied with the answer, when Miss Armstrong, quick to set any one right on a question, burst forth with — But deserts do have vegetables, — cactuses, date palms, and ostriches. ' And Larry Goodell told the prof that cotton and wool were the two vegetable fibres for the making of cloth. Beyond doubt that physical geography class is the most original in school. Let ' s go over and visit Prof. Patrick now. He was discussing imagination one day, when he happened to ask the class if there was anything the imagination was not capable of doing. Herr spoke up and said he couldn t possibly imagine Dr. Hundley giving an easy history test. One day Prof. Patrick asked for the exact meaning of the word perpetual, and received the following answers: Continual — with no end — everlasting — forever; and Herr piped up and said, Amen. Which proves that Herr bubbles up much after the fashion of Gleiss (Hoiman). Yes, here he is again. Hoiman, I mean. In English History, he informed Dr. Hundley that the Pope had a son named Edmund. Dr. Hundley was shocked, for he said, I didn ' t know that the Pope had any children. Excuse me. I left something out of that physical geography class. Prof. Bob told us that if a fish, used to the high pressure of deep water in the ocean, were to come up to the shallow water, it would explode. Miss Haskins immediately jumped to the conclusion that if a fish used to shallow water should dive down to the depths, it would cave it. Did you go to the Doane Football Banquet? (Rhetorical question. See F. F. Patrick.) Coach Emy gave a speech there, as was altogether fitting and proper. Among other things that he said, one thing struck me particularly. In talking of the Zanesville game, where Doane suffered her only de- feat, he said, Of course, there is a certain sting in defeat. I heartily agree with him, especially in the winter time if you have had them frosted. What more fittingly closes these efforts than an allusion to the FIRST Annual Doane Academy Foot- ball Banquet? NOTHING. 240 S. B. Brierly V. E. Field W. H. Johnson President Samuel B. BrierlY Vice President V. E. FlELD Secretary-Treasurer . ..WlLLlAM H. JoHNSON 11 01 IJenisciii The Society of the Alumni of Denison is one of the most efficient work- ing forces of the college. Splendidly organized, its influence for Denison is felt in all parts of the country. In advertising the school, in filling up the freshman classes, in the Endowment work, in fact in every college avenue, this energetic force is found working. In the past five years the parent Society has been augmented and made more efficient by the organization of a number of local or civic Associations. These Associations, or Clubs, are located in Boston, New York City, Wash- ington, D. C, Chester, Pa., Rochester, N. Y., Pittsburg, Cleveland, Canton, Zanesville, Columbus, Cincinnati, Dayton, Toledo, Chicago, Mineapolis, Kansas City, Colorado, Los Angeles and Chi na-Japan. Others are being organized each year. The Society is so liberal in its organization that it includes in its mem- bership, not only those who have received degrees from Denison, but also any who have ever been connected with the Granville schools as students, thus becoming a compact working body of all those who have had a part in the Granville benefits. So thoroughly has the Alumni Propaganda been promulgated at the col- lege that the undergraduate looks eagerly forward to the day when he or she shall become a member, and thus a living force, in the organization that ts doing so much for Alma Mater, the Society of the Alumni of Denison. 241 v ium me T a Baptist convention, held, in Lebanon, Ohio, in 1 830, we find the beginnings of our college. It was there that a plan was formu- lated for the establishment m Ohio of a Literary and Theological Seminary under the patronage of the Baptist denomination. In October of the same year, a constitution was adopted providing for the or- ganization of such an institution. The first site was about one mile southeast of Granville on a farm that was donated by Rev. Allen Darrow. Granville College or Granville Literary and Theological Institute as it was first called, opened in a rejuvenated farm- house in December, 1831. Classical and English courses were offered to the thirty-seven students who enrolled. Primitive was the equipment and slender were the resources, but spirited was the ambition of these young men. In the spring of 1832 the college building was destroyed and only by the financial aid of Daniel Shepardson was it rebuilt. The name of Denison University was given to the school in 1 854 m honor of William S. Denison. Two years later the institution was removed from the farm to the present site on College Hill. Memorable was the year 1 864 for it was then that the school was reincorporated. Education for women was introduced into Granville by Charles Sawyer in 1831 when he founded a girls ' school. The first building was that two- story wooden structure which still stands on Shepardson campus. On account of financial troubles, he was forced to sell the institution to the Episcopalians. It was maintained under their direction until 1 860. In the meantime Rev. N. S. Burton and his wife had been conducting a school of a similar character in the basement of the Baptist church. Competition was too great for the Episco- palians. They were forced to sell to the Baptists. Under the guidance of Rev. M. Stone and Rev. Daniel Shepardson the school continued to grow. In 1900 Shepardson College was incorporated as a part of Denison Univer- sity. Now the board of trustees for Granville College and Shepardson Col- lege are identical in membership. The fact these boards are self-perpetuating is one of the unique features of the University. Eighty-five years have passed since our University was founded. She has grown from one building into fourteen; from property worth three or four thousand dollars to that of at least two million; from an enrollment of thirty- seven students to more than six hundred. As a College she stands as a monu- mental contribution of the Baptist denomination to education. 242 N the year of 1 882, the two fraternities in Denison at that time, Beta Theta Pi and Sigma Chi, pubUshed the first Adytum. An editorial in that first issue gives the following occasion for the publication: Many of our students possess qualities of mind or peculiarities of disposition that are eminently worthy of mention. Another cause for the publication of such a history was that of giving recognition to those organizations and phases of college life which were not emphasized by any other college paper. Six years later the second number was issued by the fraternities in the University, Beta Theta Pi, Sigma Chi, and Phi Gamma Delta. History shows that after the fraternities had published three books, the responsibility was assumed in 1893 by the Senior Class. In 1900, Shepardson College was given a place on the Board of Editors. In 1902, the Juniors were given the task of publishing the annual, and each year since, they have directed the writing of this history. During its thirty-four years of existence, the Adytum has grown from a small, paper-bound volume to a book of which, we hope, any Denisonian may be proud. The name Adytum was given the book by the first editors. The meaning of the word has a real significance, for as the adytum of the ancient temple was the innermost shrine, so our year book is that which guards the sacred history of our college days. May our hearts ever cherish these memo- ries That like a summer sunset Encircles with a ring of purple light All the horizon of our youth. 243 EXTRA! EXTRA! FOUND ON DENISON CAMPUS A HISTORY Bound in Soft Red Leather This book was found on March 22, 1916, by a member of the class of 1917, and brought to the Adytum Board to be advertised. It contained no name, so a part of the contents will be published so that the owner, recognizing this, may claim his property. The claim must be placed through a member of the Adytum Board, and not later than June 12, 1920. Please be prompt. 244 (DHHCn Mon., 1. After inslalling their Y.

XVII v yium me 1 HEN you come to the end of a long day ' s work and look back V ' ' ' received your heartiest effort, there is bound to come a sense of honest satisfaction. The mistakes are plain enough then, but the joy of the job swells up strongly nevertheless. With this finished feeling is linked the sense of indebtedness to many friends. We cannot claim a really finished book — one worthy in every respect to represent Denison — but we have aimed high for this volume of the Adytum, and hope that our steady efforts have resulted in an annual a little better than its predecessors. To those who think that we have failed in some important particulars, we ask for a frank statement of your criticism. We can pass it on to the next Board, and they need not repeat the error. It certainly is our aim to see that the next book does not fall prey to any of our mistakes. The work on this book has been greatly lightened by the advice and aid of Mr. J. J. Sher of the Bureau of Engraving, who helped us plan the book; by the interest of Mr. S. U. Robinson of the Champlin Press ; by the personal attention of Mr. Dexter White of the White Studio; by the cordial sug- gestions of Dr. Chamberlain; by the aid in the Story Contest given by Profes- sors Williams and Pence; and by the invaluable help of O. L. Atchley of the class of 1918 and of Miss Mary Rex of Toledo in the work of the Art Department. To all these we extend our hearty thanks for their support of our volume of the Adytum. To all who have enjoyed this annual, we bid farewell and Gliick Auf. 275 v yium me — PAGE Adelphian 239 Adverlisemenis 257-273 Adytum Board 160-161 Alligators 195 All-Shepardson 134 Alpha Delta Tau 215 Alumni Association ?..241 Art Section 17-32 Athletic Associations — Denison 101 Shepardson 130 PAGE Eldridge, Ruth 136 Emswiler, H.
