Brumback A real man, in the true sense of the word, is rare. Few men at the end of their life work have earned the title. Of Professor A. M. Brum- back, it can truthfully be said — the elements So mix ' d in him, that Nature might stand up And say to all the world, ' This was a man ! ' The world, slow to react and oftimes tardy with its awards, recognized him and gave him a place in its heart. After a long, hard struggle with the Grim Reaper, our beloved pro- fessor was relieved from his earthly cares, and on the twelfth day of August, 1916, his spirit departed for the better world. Why this friend and helper should have been ' harvested ' when so much needed, — Solicit not thy thoughts with matters hid; Leave them to God above. As head of the Chemistry Department, his wonderful success proved beyond question that he was peculiarly adapted to his chosen profession. Respected and loved by all, honest and sincere in everything, a thorough Christian, a true and helpful friend at any and every time — all Denison — alumni, faculty and students, mourn the loss of their professor, who As a cloud of the sunset, slow melting in heaven. As a star that is lost when the daylight is given. As a glad dream of slumber, which wakens in bliss, Hath passed to the world of the holy from this. 6 THE COLLEGE 0 THE HILL and all the various phases of our college life, we have endeavored to present to you in the following pages of this volume as clearly and accurately as possible. Before you lies the finished product, whose purpose is to reflect Den- ison ' s progress toward the ever-surging goal of the future. It is our sin- cere wish that this book may be truly representative of Denison life and spirit, and that, in later years, it may serve as a pleasing and stimulating memoir of the pleasant days ' way down among old Licking ' s hills. ' The Denison of to-day is great, but the Denison of to-morrow will be greater. We are constantly pushing onward toward higher and nobler things, and, noting this forward movement, we too, ' have hitched our wagon to a star ' in our endeavor to set before you — Greater Denison. In the words of ' To Denison ' we shall have our reward, if When from the fold we far shall stray. With souls no longer young. We ' ll ne ' er forget our college days, These happy scenes among; And when our steps have feeble grown, Our journey almost done. E ' en then with fleeting breath we ' ll praise Our dear Old Denison. 7 The 1917 Adytum Order of BooJ s The Urxiversil : Campus Views, Alumni, Trustees, Faculty and Classes.

Calendar Feature Jldvertising jicl nowledgment 8 We cannot picture certain houses apart from certain people. Their spirit becomes the soul of that home, so that in time a house seems to acquire a per- sonality. Our President ' s Home is to me not only Dr. Hunt and Dr. Chamheo-- lain,—but even more, is Mrs. Hunt and Mrs. Chamberlain. I cannot think of this home luithout seeing these two ivonderful ivomen, ideals not only of viy girlhood but my ivomayihood. I am sure theirs has been one of the quiet influ- ence ' s ivhich have made our college so dear to us, and Denison The name that sets our souls on fire And makes our senses thrill. -LORENA WOODROW BURKE ' 06 In the old days, there was no Plaza here — no dial to mark the passing hours. It was only the side of the hill then — Nature ' s oivn handiwork — with grass and trees and the criss-crossing paths of Shepardson lassies and Denison lad:. Unchanged, however, is the distant view — the broad fertile valley, green or gold according to season, the soft blue haze and the encircling hills. Now as then, these hills and valleys invite me to climb and tramp — to commune with Nature — and, whenever I can snatch a few moments from the business cares of the office, I find myself dreaming of the day when I may be able for a brief s]}ace to become again a college boy and with a light heart respond to the call of Granville ' s hills. — V. Ernest Field ' 03 The New Brick, as we called Talbot Hall! How the flood-gate of Mem- ory stoings on its hinges as I look upon you! Why some of those bricks that made thy enduring walls, I carried there with my own hands and watched them laid in place! How there troops back to me from the ghostly past the faces and forms of those whose life ' s history is entwined with thine! Those saintly instructors, Talbot, Marsh, John Stevens, Gilpatrick, Will Stevens, Thresher, Hicks, how they all come out of the dim past as I gaze on thee! And those pals, those college chums of the early ' 70 ' s! I love their memory as I stand in their shadow! But, Dear Building, thy lesson has been learned. The youth- ful audacity of splendid ignorance has shaped itself into earnest labor for the great object for which you stand. — Samuel B. Brierly ' 75 11  9 l 7 Burton Hall marks the first attempt to adjust the old school to the require- ments of a younger generation. Under its hospitable new roof gathered teach- ers and officers, preparatory students, specials, and a sprinkling of college girls. It housed offices, recitation rooms and dining hall, in addition to its functions as a dormitory. In its familiar halls first experiences of college days return, together ivith the thrills and pangs of senior year. Old joys, old friendships, old ideals and hopes shine in the rosy light of youth. — Jessie Husted Chamberlain ' 97 12 5 = 1 At the beginning of the administration of Dr. Galusha Anderson, he planned with the trustees for the organization of the Preparatory Department under the name of Granville Academy. In September 1887, I entered upon the Mork ivith such splendid associates as L. E. Akins, W. H. Johnson and W. G. Tight, and it ivas successful from the outset. Within a feio years. Dr. W. H. Doane erected for the Academy the building which it still occupies and one year after its dedication, the trustees changed the name to Doane Academy. Since my removal from Granville, I have ivatched the career of Doane Academy with unusual interest and shall always rejoice in its success. I have great hopes for its continued growth under the Principal who has for fifteen years served it so faithfully and tvell, and the brilliant young President of the University, whom I remember ivith affection as one of my own boys. —J. D. S. RIGGS 13 What a rush of pleasant memories come crowding doion through the vista )f the years as I look upon its familiar outlines! Thirty years have passed since as a freshman I entered the building. How vividly I remember that first glance )f Doane Hall — the tables heaped high ivith books that needed to be arranged and placed on the shelves. Thirty years have ivrought great changes; the star of a greater Denison is just appearing on the horizon, larger and more brilliant than ojie even dared to dream of then. The old building has served its purpose nobly, but a neiv building is needed. Can not this be provided in some ivay; if possible, to the memory of that grand man, William Hoivard Doayie, the gen- erous donor of the old building? What greater monument to a noble man ' s memory What more pressing from a scholastic and university need! — Wallace H. Cathcart ' 90 14 The Observatory distinguishes the College. A stranger entering the vil- lage before it was built and looking up at the hill might have wondered if it was an infirmary on a large scale or an institution for feeble minded. Noiv ivhoever sees the observatory dome in the group of buildings knows it is a col- lege. It is like Mr. Swasey ' s ivork, the best of its kind; not the largest, but finished. It is genuine in construction and fine in finish. When it ivas dedi- cated, a scientist who was present said to me, I have seen every observatory of importance on earth and there is nothing in the same class ivith this. — Dr. Emory W. Hunt 15 I 9 I -7 What do they suggest, those fall trees aci-oss the middle of the campus, to a student of the Eighties? Groivth, first of all. Their added height and dig- nity symbolize added buildings, added endowment, a larger faculty, student en- rollment and influence on the -world outside. And as icith Virgil ' s love-stricken shepherd, carving his words of love tipon the beech trees of old Italy ivith the thought that the love would grow along ivith the trees, so we who loved these trees of the Denison campus in the day ivhen they and Denison were relatively small have felt our affections grow along with the growth of the college itself. And then comes a vision of the old style football exercise beficeen the two Dorms, and of Akins, a noble and most faithful teacher, and — We ' ll finish this problem tomorroiv, boys; the bell ' s ringing. — W. H. Johnson ' 85 1 The graceful outlines of Cleveland Hall, with its inijiosing columns looking out upon the Village, make a favorable impression upon the visitor ivho ap- proaches the Campus by ivay of Shepardson College grounds. It was a neces- sity in this automobile age, and fulfils many needs ivithin its spacious ivalls. But to us older felloivs, it stands out by way of contrast. The ivaters of the old Spring no longer attract the unattended maiden in the evening twilight. The old home of Ab Evans, the Village Marshal, ivhom some of us used to entertain when things were doin, has been supplanted by the more imposing stmcture. The slippery paths on the old hillside ivhere even the wicked could not always stand, were out of place under the new conditions. Have all these changes been for the better? Cleveland Hall challenges you for an ansiver- ' — Benjamin F. McCann ' 86 17 The old board fence, the ivide gate, the stile and the hedge are gone. To the students of the seventies and eighties, the one familiar feature is the Neiv Brick (Talbot Hall). It stands, as in days of yore, solid and stately, una- dorned, save by the ivy that climbs and clings to its walls. Southward, facing this, is Doayie Academy, noiv a memorial of Dr. Doane, one of Denison ' s liberal benefactors. The central feature is the East Plaza, provided by the generosity of Mr. E. J. Barney. This is beautifully ornate and transformiyig, especially in the vernal months tvhile the shrubbery is richly laden ivith luxuriant bloom. Its pillars are croiuned ivith electric lights, and high above towers the neiv steel flag-staff, on ivhicli is often unfurled to the breeze, the stars and stripes, an inspiration to loyalty and patriotism. — BUNYAN Spencer ' 79 18 D Many scenes this picture suggests. I remember one evening, when return- ing during a serenade, Stone Hall looking like a gigantic altar, candles from every tvindow shedding their soft radiance out into the night. At the corona- tion of the May Queen it was gay with pennants, as with her retinue sh e de- scended the steps to receive the croivn from the hands of Dr. Cohvell. Not often did it ivear this festive appearance. But ivhen, suitcase laden, ive re- turned after the holidays, hoiv ivarmly ivelcoming it seemed to us ivho had learned to love it and to call it Home ! — Clara A. Davies 19 D 1 The Old Brick, as we called Marsh Hall from 1871 until a few years ago, was my home during 1871-2, 1872-3 and 187 The three rooms I lived in recall many experiences: study, fairly earnest but immature; leisure for the luxury of books; congenial companionships ; letters tvritten home about my ad- ventures of mind and character in these new surroundings, not realized as yet but felt already as an opportunity long desired and at last attained. — George Fitch MgKibben ' 75 20 Barney Science Hall brings many memories. For two years as janitor and engineer, I lived in the basement. The corner stone ivas painted black the night before it ivas to be laid. Further details might incriminate. Ours was the first Freshman class to enter it. Dr. Chamberlain built the first compound inter- ferometer here. Mr. Eugene J. Barney gave it in memory of his father and after the fire he re-built and equipped it. Those of us who ivere inspired to better things on account of its privileges can never repay the debt ive owe to the generous, good man ivho gave it. — E. A. Deeds ' 97 21 J Si When I entered Denison in the Autumn of 1873, the house now used as the Conservatory of Music, o r so much of it as ivas then standing, was occupied as a residence by Professor Almon U. Thresher and his gifted wife. Having no children, they made for themselves a family by tvelcoming to their table several of the professors and instructors ivho occupied rooms in the college buildings. The most constant members of this group were Professor John Stevens, a stern old Roman of majestic appearance, commonly spoken of as Oldprof, and his son. Professor William Arnold Stevens, commonly spoken of by the students as Littleprof. Also Tutor Henry F. Burton, Tutor Judson G. Pattengill, Acting Professor John M. English, and Pastor W. C. P. Rhoades, then in the beginning of his ministry, all of whom have enjoyed an extraordinary record of longevity and continuance in service. — Ernest D. Burton ' 76 22 D This beautiful new structure, Doane Gymnasium, bears no resemblance to the old chapel building which sheltered the art department, the music studios and Dr. Shepardson ' s class-rooms in 1891. It stood just east of Stone Hall and had magnificent trees all about it. My work began in 1892 and included the new principle of physical exercise, discovered by Francois Delsarte. Our classes were held twice a week in the chapel of the old building which stood just east of Stone Hall and aimed to train and develop the body in harmony with natural laws. And so it is now with keen pleasure that I watch the Shep- ardson girls play basketball, run, jump, swim and do all the things that are so good for them to do, all in connection with this beautiful new gymnasium. — Elizabeth Shepherd Hopley 23 Hoiv thmgs have changed since my first remembered vieiv of this corner! It was taken in my early boyhood as I stood about the middle of the long walk that stretched from Broadivay to the froiit door of the Old Brown Sem. The barns, houses, gardens, picket-fences and old Institute buildings — all are gone. The protruding front of Barney Hall, the ornamental gateivay, the winding cement walk, the reduced gradient and softened vista are all of a later day. It ivas an earlier, cruder, less liopeful day that was mine. Perhaps I might see the dreams of my father and mother if I ivere to look long enough. Perhaps I might tell their joy because of the groivth of the school they loved. But eno2igh. ' the pictiire of this corner in my memory lias faded completely except as an occasional reverie like this may bring it back. — Francis W. Shepardson ' 82 24 S. B. Brierly Mrs. Lorena W. Burke W. H. Johnson The Society of the Alumni Officers of the Society President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer Samuel B. Brierly, Chicago Mrs. Lorena W. Burke, Pittsburgh ...William H. Johnson, Granville The Society of the Alumni of Denison University is a powerful organ- ization which is supported by all the alumni and former students. It is a working force whose vital importance to the institution is increasing from year to year. In accordance with a new plan, Mr. Brierly endeavors to interest each Freshman class in the Association in order that when they graduate, its work may not be in the least strange to them. In this way the students are made to realize that upon graduation, their connection with Denison does not cease, — they merely enter a larger field in which they can work for their college. The purpose of the Association is to bind together all of those who have at any time been enrolled at Denison, in order that their labor, in her behalf, may be organized and their love for her may be strengthened and renewed. This is accomplished by means of the smaller organizations of state and town, which work with and for the parent organization with the same aim in view. In Boston, New York, Washington, D. C, Pitts- burgh, Cleveland, Dayton, Columbus, Cincinnati, Toledo, Mt. Vernon, Can- ton, Chicago, Minneapolis, Kansas City, Colorado, Lower California, and China-Japan, there are Denison Clubs. It is here that the loyalty of those who know Denison and love her, arouses enthusiasm in others to learn to know and love her as their Alma Mater. The Society is deeply interested in the Endowment Campaign. Al- though it has been impossible to do much in the past, extensive plans are being made for future activity along this line. The Class Unit is to be used as the basis for this work, each class securing a pledge of as large an amount as possible and making its annual report at each Commence- ment. The aim of the Society is a high one but it is far from being unat- tainable. Denison owes much to this well-organized Society and Uncle Sam Brierly, and the indebtedness will undoubtedly be greatly increased in the future. 25 Sons and Daughters of Denison The Alumni of Denison Univei ' sity are hundreds strong and are of much importance to the institution. They, for their part, are always proud to claim Denison as their Alma Mater, and Denison, you may be sure, is proud of her alumni body. These Sons and Daughters of Denison, by their unceasing loyalty, have made and will always continue to make an inestimable contribution to that intangible something known as the ' Denison Spirit. ' It is this spirit which has placed Denison in her present position, and it will always remain an important factor in her progress. In proof of their loyalty, it is a significant fact that wherever a number of Denisonians are situated near each other, their love for their Alma Mater soon draws them together and they unite into a local association. These local associations are all joined together and are known as The Society of the Alumni of Denison University. In each of these local organizations, the members are endeavoring to bring honor and fame to their dear old Denison. ' A striking example may be cited in the fact that the best advertising for Denison has been done by these alumni. The alumni associations of some of the various sections are also plan- ning to secure the co-operation of the sectional clubs in the student body in entering upon campaigns by which they intend to interest in Denison many young people who have not made a final decision concerning the col- lege which they wish to attend. This is a splendid work which other organizations would do well to imitate. In this way the influence of tne alumni is beginning to count over a large territory. The support which our alumni have given to all of our college activities in the past has been greatly appreciated by all connected with Denison. But at the same time, we feel that, considering the number of our alumni, who they are, and what they stand for, this support has been relatively small. It is the result of the work of a few rather than of all. Each of our alumni should feel a sort of personal responsibility in arousing enthu- siasm among any of the friends of Denison and among any who may be considering the possibility of coming here to school, especially whenever the University Glee Club, Debate teams, or Athletic teams, come to his or her home town. Actual figures show that the students who have come to Denison, have received their incentive from only a small number of alumni. In some colleges, alumni athletic associations have been formed. Through this means, the alumni try to do all that is possible to encourage loyalty, enthusiasm and efficiency in athletics. Where can the student look for an example of loyalty to Denison unless it is among the alumni? Who can realize what they owe to their Alma Mater as well as those who have, through later experience, found out what she has done for them? When we consider that it is the finished product rather than the machine upon which judgment is passed, we are brought face to face with the fact that the alumni of the university are of as much, if not more importance than the student body. The alumni are also scattered over so much more territory and possess so much more influence in their communities than 26 the student body, who are merely engaged in the preparation for the work which they are going to undertake and who are kept in Granville for practically nine months every year, that much more is to be expected of them than of the students. Although there is no organized alumni Athletic Association at Dayton, the Denisonians of that town have advertised and aroused so much enthu- siasm among their fellow citizens, that the Denison-Miami game has be- come an annual event which is of great importance to both colleges. This is only one example of what might be done by many other of the associa- tions. Concerning what the alumni have done as individuals, much can be said. A person who fulfills all the requirements of that Denison type, of which we hear so much, must possess a high degree of efficiency, high ideals and an agreeable personality. That the Denison alumni are the Denison type is the conclusion which is easily drawn when one glances over the record of their achievements. Many are in responsible positions in business life and in religious work and there are many who stand for progress along educational lines. It is impossible to name all those worthy of mention, so we will only endeavor to enumerate some of those who are representa- tive. Four of our alumni are College Presidents : Silas E. Price, ' 84, is President of Ottawa University at Ottawa, Kansas; Milo B. Price, ' 92, is President of Pillsbury Academy at Owatonna, Minnesota; the President of McMinnville University in McMinnville, Oregon, is Leonard W. Riley of the class of ' 94; and the President of our own University is Clark W. Chamberlain, ' 94. Others who are holding professorships in various uni- versities and colleges throughout the country, not including our own pro- fessors, are: Ernest D. Burton, ' 76; Francis W. Shepardson, ' 82; William B. Owen, ' 87; George A. Dorsey, ' 88; J. Stanley Brown, ' 89; Edgar J. Goodspeed, ' 90 ; William E. Wickenden, ' 04 ; and Justin N. Nixon, ' 05. In religious work there is Bruce Kinney, who is the Western Secretary of the American Baptist and Home Missionary Society at Topeka, Kansas ; Franklin W. Sweet, ' 99, pastor of Calvary Baptist Church at Minneapolis, Minnesota; Nathan W. Brown, ' 00, who is a medical missionary in China. In politics there is Judson Harmon of the class of 1866 who was at one time Governor of Ohio and Attorney General in President Cleveland ' s cabinet at Washington, D. C. In business there are G. Moore Peters, ' 67, of Cincinnati ; Charles A. Marsh, ' 78, Chicago; Robert J. Thresher, ' 87, of Kansas City; Harry B. Curtin, ' 88, Clarksburg, W. Va. ; Charles F. Burke, ' 04, of Pittsburgh, and Leroy Sargent, ' 09, of Minneapolis. There are many more which we are not able to speak of here. To quote the words of Uncle Sam Brierly, the President of the Society, — We may well be proud of our Denison men and women! 27 G. Moore Peters BOARD OF TRUSTEES Officers of the Board G.

Taylor Treasurer Charles A. Metcalf Historian M. Vashti JoiJES Poet DoRMAN E. Richardson 40 Senior Class History In the fall of 1913, there gathered from all the Lands far and wide, over a hundred of the Demurest Maids and Bravest Boys. They journeyed from far and near to Denison — all happy and joyous that they could come and know Denison, its People, its Customs and its Traditions. They had a dreadful Battle with the Sophomores, but vanquished the Foe in the Flag Rush, and the Trophy was theirs. But having Compas- sion and Love for all in their Hearts, the Sophomores won the football game. In order that they might know each other better they planned a Hay- ride, but as the Elements were descending, they had their informal intro- ductions and fun in the T. 0. C. Railroad Station. The Elements also chose to descend when they journeyed to Alexandria for the Feast of Chicken. But the Brave Boys and Demure Maids were very happy and were loved by all. In June they parted — older and wiser. September saw them returning. Their Kindness to the Freshmen passed all Understanding. They abolished the Crude Custom of Scrap Day and had instead a Pink Tea to which the Ladies were invited as well as the Freshmen who were Honored Guests. Throughout the year they Grew and Flourished. Indeed, the Brave Boys were deemed Worthy to carry Canes, a Custom which they have ob- served ever since. In the fall of ' 15, they all came back noted for their superior Ability and Worthiness. The Junior Banquet was a Social Success and the Adytum the best up to date. The College was indeed proud of the Brave Boys and Demure Maidens. One of the Brave Boys, a certain Thresher, made a name for himself in the Ministerial Realm as Pastor at the Burial of our late beloved Eng- lish Book. The funeral was a beautiful and impressive One and very well attended. The departing Seniors then realized the Real Importance of the Junior Class of ' 17 and left Great Responsibility of all Kinds on their Shoulders. And now, they have returned for the Last Time, Strong and Capable. They have assumed all Responsibility gracefully, they are deemed Wise, yea — even Dignified. They counsel the Weak and Trembling and further the interests of the College always. Soon they go — they will be Missed — these Brave Boys and Demure Maidens of yore who are now the Strong Men and Women. They will do in the World as they have done in College — ever and always holding as Dearest Friends — Denison Friends, and Dearest Memories — Denison Memories. 41 James Macpherson, B.S., nK, aat, Scotland Alligator.

Cabinet (1, 3, 4), President (4). Assistant in Zoology (3, 4). .Jimmy is not only a true Scotchman but is a true blue Denisonian. As a Y. M. C. A. man he is hard to beat and while of a quiet nature, yet Mac used to be a consistent visitor at the Sem, with the result that his fraternity pin is now out in Cheyenne. He is the kind that we shall greatly miss when next year rolls around. Margaret C. Given, Ph.B., Granville West Lafayette High. Philomathean. Class Bas- ketball (2. 3, 4). Glee Club (4). Debate Captain (3. 4). You will always find her tomorrow what she is today. Margaret is never swayed by the thought of others for she can see things in the right light her- self. She has been especially interested in debate, •elng Captain of one of the Shepardson teams for two years and has maintained a high standard of scholarship in some of the hardest courses in school. Grace F. Johnson, Ph.B., Norwich, N. Y. Norwich High. Thalia. Student Volunteer, Vice Pj-esident (4). Class Basketball (1, 2). Debate (2). Debate Council (3, 4), Treasurer (3). Y. W. C. A. Cabinet (4). H. P. S. A. Domestic Science Hall will not seem the same with- out Grace. She is always interested, always trying, and always succeeding, and has been a very busy girl during these past few years. In Y. W. C. A. and Debate she has been particularly interested and by hei pleasing manner, friends and success are assured her. Lewis U. Scott, B.S., Me, Granville Doane Academy. Y. M. C. A. Cabinet (1). Var- sity Tennis (2, 3. 4), Captain (3). Adytum Board. Junior Prom Committee. Scotty has been in our midst for several years and things won ' t seem right if he isn ' t around after lauTidry next year as usual. Scotty shines in tennis and has ably represented the school for three years. Though quiet, he will be heard from in the medical world. 42 Jessie V. Burns, Ph.B., ao, Piqua Piqua High. Philomathean. Vice President Class (4). Y. W. C. A. Cabinet (4). Adytum Board. Chaplain Philo (2), Vice President (2). Masquers (2, 3, 4), Secretary (3). Glee Club (3, 4). Gradu- ate in Voice. No, she doesn ' t burn — we hear her answer when- ever her name is called. When it comes to music and dramatics or literary work. Jessie is one of the best we know. Her many enviable qualities have won her a place in the hearts of all Denison people, and one in particular. We know ! Albert H. LaRue, Ph.B., East Liverpool Sycamore. East Liverpool High. Calliope. Masquers. Class Basketball (1, 2, 3). Adytum Board. Assist- ant in Psychology (4). Rough found East Liverpool too small for him last year so he came back again to Granville. When it comes to noise and fun, you can count him in for a big share and we feel we would be doing him an injustice if we didn ' t mention his affinity for the Sem and his ability to break hearts. James W. Ballard, B.S., rA, Washington C. H. Washington C. H. High. Glee Club (3, 4), String Quartet (3, 4). Adytum Board. Assistant in En- gineering ( 4 ) . Jimmy is another quiet, unassuming chap, but they say still water runs deep, and if we are to judge from Jimmy ' s record, this surely holds true in his case. He is a valuable mfember of the Glee Club and a star on any stringed instrument. His hobby is engineering and some day we expect to hear from him. Selma L. Hamann, Ph.B., Newark Newark High. Euterpe. Glee Club (2, 3). Bas- ketball (4). Language Association. The Newark room will seem lonely without Selma, who has always been an early visitor there every morning for four years. She is a strong and capable girl, noted for her high standards of scholarship and is always leady to work and help others, never doing anything by halves. Sara L. Taylor, Ph.B., X A, Toledo Toledo Hi,i h. Vice President Class (2). Assistaiit in English (2, 3, 4). Adytum Board. Secretary Class (4). Secretary Y. W. C. A. (2), President (4). Inter-Sorority Council (3). Lake Erie Club. Sally is a splendid Denison type of girl whom one likes to know better. When she was made Prexy of the Y. W. for this year, that alone assured a successful year for the association. In spite of all her responsibilities, the twinkle in her eyes spells mischief and her jokes and merry laugh will be greatly missed. Good luck to you. both ! Frank B. Ward, Ph.B., Cincinnati East Night High. Calliope. Vice President Min- isterial Association (4). Vice President Calliope (4). Varsity Debate (4). Assistant in Political Science (4). Fi ' ank is anothei- one of these studious fellows who have delved deep into the mysteries of Greek and Latin. In the Ministerial Association he has also taken a prominent part and has been an able member of this year ' s Debate team. As a future minister we expect him to make his mark. Margarethe Wellwood, Ph.B., West China Morgan Park High. 111. Thalia. House Council (4). Peggy ' s personality is a many-sided one. A more modest or gentle girl would be hard to find but her closest friends know that combined with this, is a large supply of grit and strong will. Stability and unselfishness are qualities of a true friend and Peggy has proved herself such to all who know her. Stuart H. Prescott, B.S., onE, Cleveland West High. Calliope. Class Cross Country (1, 2, 3), Varsity (3). Class Treasurer (3). Geological Society, President (4). Washington Banquet Com- mittee. Stew does not live up to his name, for he in- sists he never touches the vile foam. Friendly and likeable, he has always been active in school and especially in cross country, and when it comes to business and the women, we predict he will be a future capitalist as regards both. 44 Charles A. Metcalf, Jr., Ph.B., Elyria Franklin, Vice President Gymnasium Leader (1. Student Council (2, 3). Carnegie H. F. Schol- Sycamore. Elyria High. (4). Class Football (1, 2) 2. 3. 4). Adytum Board. Y. M. C. A. Cabinet (4). arship (4). We think of Chuck as a friend to everyone ; gen- erous, good-natured and well-liked. As Livy ' s assist- ant in the gym classes, he has been a terror to the Freshmen and in the Leaders Class he has been a mainstay, furnishing the fun between halves at the Basketball games. Always a good student and a hard worker, the cold world will not find him wanting. Mary E. Anderson, Ph.B., 2A 1 , Newark Newark High. Euterpe. Denisonian Staff (2, 3, 4). Y. W. C. A. Cabinet (4). Language Associa- tion (4). Mary is something like a very smooth stone wall — she never worries, she never argues and yet we ai ' e all aware that she has a mind of her own. It has been rumored that she has acquired a great facility for accumulating ' points ' during quiet hours ! Mary ' s talents are many especially along literary lines and her place on the Denisonian and Cabinet will be hard to fill. Ebenezer S. Thresher, B.S.; 2X, Kansas City, Mo. Doane Academy. Masquers (2, 3, 4), Vice Pres- ident (3). Adytum Board. Chemical Society. Preacher of Junior Sermon. Ebby is the kind of guy we like to call friend and has proven his worth in everything he has un- dertaken, whether it be to star in the Masquers or to be head of the Nut Club. Ebby ' s two greatest disappointments in school were his failure to make a Phi Bet key and to get married. We understand there are chances for the latter now. Helen C. Lockhart, Ph.B., K p, Granville Hughes High, Cincinnati. Doane Academy. Philo- mathean. Secretary (2). Glee Club (2). Y. W. C. A. Cabinet (2). Adytum Board. Now Helen really has a very fine nick-name — Cutey in fact ; but as she asked us not to mention it, we won ' t. In her prep and lower classman days, she won an enviable reputation for basketry, cook- ing and conversation. Being a school-marm last year didn ' t suit her so she came back and ' she ' says — absence made the heart grow fonder. 45 M. Vashti Jones, Ph.B., x I ' A, AO, Zanesville Zanesville High. Philomathean. Debate Captain (2, 3, 4). Glee Club (3. 4). Assistant in Political Science (4). Secretary to Dean (1, 4). Associate Editor Denisonian (4). Class Historian (4). H. P. S. A. Vashti has two constant companions wherever she aoes — a happy smile and a pleasant word. While with us, she has delved deep in the mysteries of politics and proved herself a strong debater. As she wants to be a lawyer, no one need be surprised to see her at Washington some one of these days. WiLFORD W. CossuM, Ph.B., Chicago Norwood High. Calliope. Class Football (1, 2). President Student Volunteers (3). Y. M. C. A. Cab- inet (3). H. P. S. A., Treasurer (3), President (4). Adytum Board. Leaders Class (1, 2, 3, 4). Bill is one of the most enthusiastic men that ever came to Denison. If you don ' t believe it just ask him who Dan Dye is or who is on at H. P. S. A. He has the courage of his own convictions and some day future Denisonians will sit in chapel and listen to a short talk by Cossum, a returned missionary fi ' om China. William E. Hayden, Ph.B., Richwvxi Richwood High. Franklin. Ministerial Associa- tion Treasurer (4). In logic or in argument. Hayden is always at his best. While the rest of us were out having a good time, he would be studying. The Sem doesn ' t know nim so we guess he must know them. Believing That genius is hard work, he practiced that principle, and he ' ll always be a credit to his Alma Mt.tcr. Louise L. Williams, B.S., Granville Kappa Zeta. Granville High. Thalia. Masquers. Louise is one of our village folk and has spent quite a few years on the hill, first in the academy, where she won a place in Kappa Zeta, and in col- lege, where besides keeping up the reputation of her honorary fraternity, her activities were felt in a aramatic way. She has much talent along this line and we shall greatly miss her next year. 46 UORMAN E. Richardson, B.S., Ben, Toledo Central High. D. D. D. (1). Y. M. C. A. Cab- inet (2). Glee Club (2, 3), Manager (3). Class President (2). Cheer Leader (3). Adytum Board. Class Baseball (2). Class Basketball (1), Captain 3, 4). Football Squad (4). Basketball Squad (2. 3, 4). Assistant in Engineering (4). Rich has had a varied career in our midst and has made a success of all his undertakings. Miss Judson ' s Specializing course has been his most per- sistent study and at vacation time it is hard to tell ■wnether he lives near Dayton or Toledo. We wonder aDOut this pin proposition. ANN M. DOSTER, Ph.B., Harveysbui ' g Harveysburg High. Assistant in Mathematics (4). Ann is another of our village folk — and she is alvyays about with a pleasant smile for everyone. Her prep days were partly spent in Doane, where she starred in math, and this stellar reputation has been brightening through hei ' college course. We predict a really successful career for her in the realm of pedagogues. Esther L. Martin, B.S., K , Seattle, Wash. Broadway High. Euterpe. Class Swimming Team (3). Geological Society, Vice President (4). Presi- dent Shepardson Athletic Association (4). When it comes to talking, Plup has the gift ! She has some great stories about that far away city of Seattle and we really have to believe some of them. In more ways than one we look up to her — capable, independent and cheery, a jolly good friend to every- one, she will certainly make a little niche for her- self anywhere. John T. Allison, B.S., Homewood, Pa, Tarentum High. President Pennsylvania Club. President Tennis Club. Captain Cross Country (3). Snipe, as we familiarly call him, can smell a rough-house a mile away and in a hearts-for-spats game, no one can hit harder or cheat better. Cross country and tennis have been his specialties and when the old bell rings for classes next year, we ' ll miss him. 47 Oren H. Baker, Ph.B., QIIl!:, Ronceverte, W. Va. Ronceverte High. Franklin, Secretary (3), Presi- dent (4). Gospel Team (3, 4). President Ministerial Association (4). Y. M. C. A. Cabinet (4). Debate Council, Secretary (4). Varsity Debate (3, 4). Bake is one of those quiet, unassuming persons who have plenty to do and always do it well. Those who know him well can vouch for the fact that his Irish face is full of good humor and as a student he is without a doubt a shark. Varsity debate claimed part of his time the last two years and he more than made good there, as he will anywhere. A. Lois Wood, Ph.B., ZA 1 , Coshocton Coshocton High. Euterpe. House Council (2). Lois, with her smiling eyes, never makes us cer- tain about what she will do next, but we may be sure it is something worth while. Although Latin and English have been her specialties while here in school, we are inclined to doubt whether or not she will make much use of them in future years. Irwin H. Bacon, Ph.B., :£X, Cleveland Morehouse High, La. Glee Club (1. 2, 3). Var- sity Baseball (2, 3, 4). Y. M. C. A. Cabinet. D. D. D. (2, 3). Eggs is the holder of the unapijroached record for owning more nicknames and getting by, unin- jured, with them, than any other fellow in school. In baseball he rivals Home Run Baker and in Glee Club is the mainstay of the second tenors. Ask him if the mails still run to Stryker ! He KNOWS and we have a hunch. Grace R. Seagrave, B.S., Burma, India Kappa Zeta. Doane Academy. Philomathean. Genetics Club. Y. W. C. A. Cabinet (4). Basketball (1, 2, 3, 4). King Hall will not seem the same without Grace next year, for she has lived within its walls for four long years. During this time she has distinguished herself as a brilliant student besides making a name for herself in basketball. In any line of work she is a valuable person, even when it comes to chaperon- ing a kid brother through college. 48 Mary Belle McLain, A.B., :;a , Newark Newark High. Euterpe. Class Poet (1). Class Historian (1, 2, 3). Masquers (2, 3). Adytum Board. Althou.gh Mary Belle says but little, you always feel her presence and we are sure that her winning smile and obli.ging way will win friends for her wherever she goes, as they have here in school. We promised not to mention Dick, so we ' ll just say that she not only took honors in Greek and the languages but found time to capture a big heart in Cupid ' s game. Leslie H. Winans, B.S., K2, AAT, Toulon, 111. Alligator. Doane Academy. Class President (2). Student Council (2, 4). Pan-Hellenic Council (4). Adytum Board. Y. M. C. A. Cabinet (4). W. B. Committee. Red says he is from Toulon. What that means we don ' t know, but it can mean either Toulon or Toledo. Red has surely made good in everything he has undertaken, from piloting his class as a Sopho- more to completin ' his course in thi-ee and one half years. They say there ' s a reason for his attending Student Council meeting e.ei-y evening. We wonder, Red ! Florence M. Fishburn, Ph.D., Mt. Vernon Mt. Vernon High. Florence is another one of our Seniors who in- vades the class-rooms of the young preps chanting axioms and algebraic rules. But she is never too busy to make use of Uncle Sam ' s Mail System and daily epistles slip through the mail shutes to Fair Hai ' vard. We wonder just how long she will con- tinue to grind out x y z ' s ? C. Garton Swain, B.S., Roseville Sycamore. Roseville High. What to do with a man who smiles all the time and even in his sleep is indeed a puzzle. But Claude Smith, his twin, cured him when all others failed by getting married, and ever since, Garton has been sob- erly looking for a mate. They say he has a big heart, so look out. The bigger they aie the harder they fall ! Good luck, though, in your quest. 49 Harlan C. Reynolds, B.S., KZ, Farming- ton, 111. Fai-minston High. Calliope. Varsity Tracl (2). Football (2. 4). Glee Club (4). President Mathe- matics Society (4). Cady discovered a couple of years ago that there was no place quite like Denison, so back he came, for which we are mighty glad. When it comes to foot- ball, ju.st ask Reserve ' s backfield who Cady Rey- nolils is. He is a man in every sense of the word and we feel sure that whatever he tackles. he will make good. Ruth Wickenden, B.S., X PA, Toledo Central High. Philomathean. Class Secretary (1). Glee Club (3, 4). Genetics Club. Assistant in Gym (3). Class Basketball (1, 3, 4), Captain (3), All- Shepardson (3). Swimming team (2, 3, 4), Cham- pion (3). Y. W. C. A. Cabinet (4). President Shepard.son Student Association (4). Assistant in Zoology ( 4 ) . Everyone knows and likes Wickie. In her short three years stay, she has made a host of friends and left a remarkable record behind her. With the smile that won ' t come otf, you can find her prominent in eveiything and she ' s a real all-around Denison girl. Strange it is though, the number of committee meet- ings they must attend. Margaret M. Ball, Ph.B., k , Po rtsmouth Portsmouth High. Euterpe. Y. W. C. A. Treas- urer (4), Cabinet (4). Student Council (4). Second Vice President Student Association (4). Inter-Soror- ity Council (3). Peg and fun have been almost inseparable for three years and how she has suddenly acquired enough dignity to be Prexy of the Street Council is indeed a mystery. Ti ' ue blue cleai- through, characterizes her exactly and so we take his word for it that she won ' t long ' be a school-marm, despite her denials. Frederick G. Detweiler, A.B., Granville Kansas City High. Graduate of Rochester Theo- logical Seminary ' 08. Instructor in English 1916-17. Det is one of whom we know but little, as he makes his home here and home duties have taken much of his time. Smearing the prof ' s is his spe- cialty and when he teaches, it is hard to smear him. He has already a good start on life ' s journey and we wish him the best of luck the rest of the way. Sarah B. Holmes, Ph.B., X I ' A, Augusta, Ky. Washington C. H. Hish. Thalia. Athletic Board (1). Secretary Athletic Association (2). Y. W. C. A. Cabinet (3, 4), Vice President (4). Glee Club (1, 2, 3, 4), Secretary (2), Business Manager (3). Basketball (1, 2), Manager (2). Adytum Board. Class Representative at Eagles Mere (2). It is in sociability that Sarah excels, a quality which has made everyone at Denison her friend. We have yet to see the time when a situation will arise to which she cannot adapt herself, as shown by the varied activities in which she has had an important part. The world is always in need of such people and we feel confident, that she will make good. Rowland A. Sheets, A.B., Rockford, 111. Kankakee High. Calliope. Assistant in Mathe- matics (4). Rowland started out with the class of ' 18 but through hard work and real ability, he will graduate this year. In French and Math he excels and in get- up and go he stands second to none. Any guy that can keep Oscar ciuiet. as he has done this year, is some man. Hats off, boys ! Raymond S. Knapp, B.S., rA, Norwalk Norwalk High. Class Football (1. 2), Varsity Squad (2, 3, 4). Assistant in English (2). Assist- ant in Physics (3, 4). Knappie has made a thorough study of engineer- ing and fussing and has filled the difficult position of being Ted ' s right hand man as well as Livy ' s. We don ' t know what the future holds for him but it will undoubtedly be good. Keep up the good woik, Knappie, and send us more like you. Helen L. Cord, Ph.B., Cincinnati Mary Baldwin Seminary. Euterpe, President (4). Masquers (2, 3, 4). Class Basketball (2, 3, 4), Cap- tain (2), Manager (3). Assistant in English (3, 4). Denisonian Staff (3). Y. W. C. A. Cabinet (4). Y. W. C. A. Representative to Eagles Mere (3). Cordie is a very capable girl and one upon whose word we can absolutely rely. As a Sophomore she came to Denison and liked us well enough to stay. In the way of working up pep and enthusiasm she has done wonders, and her ever ready smile and willingness to serve wherever she is asked have made her admired by all. 51 Helen W. Robinson, B.S., K , Pittsburgh Bellevue High. Philomathean, Secretary (1). Ath- letic Board (1). Basketball (1, 2, 3). Secretary Stu- dent Volunteer (2). Secretary Masquers (4). Deni- sonian Staff (4). Adytum Board. Y. W. C. A. Cabinet (3). Bobby is one of the busiest people the Sem ever contained. Math and Chemistry have been her spe- cialties in the academic line, Y. W. work and ath- letics have also claimed much of hei time and she has been kept busy filliny dates. We are sorry she could only remain with us three years, as her kind are always valuable. Grover C. Sayre, B.S., Granville Granville Hish. Calliope. Masquers. Lewis Prize Contest (1, 2). Football (1). Squebo has been a valuable man about the uni- versity for the past four years and in the Masquers has taken some star parts. Should he take up this line of work, we predict an excellent future for him. About the campus his ever-ready and helpful way will be missed. Esther V. 8myth, Ph.B., Dayton Gallon High. Euterjie. The installment plan is a fine one sometimes and we are mighty glad Esther made use of it and came back again after a year ' s absence. She has an envi- able record when it comes to making- grades which will help some one when it comes time to hang out her shingle. The trifling college men have no attrac- tion at all foi- her. Edward W. Putnam, Ph.B., :::x, Granville Newark High. D. D. D. (1, 2, 3). Denisonian Staff (1, 2, 3). Adytum Board. Class President (3). Masquers (2, 3, 4), Treasurer (3), President (4). A witty joke, a bright flashing smile and then a jolly laugh — that ' s Ned. Always radiating optimism and a friend to everyone. Ned is quite versatile and can play most any role, whether it be cheer-leader, the crook in Officer 666, the premiere danseux or the licensed fusser. May your enthusiasm never die ! Spencer G. Weber, B.S., BK, Ben, Toledo Central High. Franklin. Class Treasurer (1). Track (2, 3, 4). Manager (3). Cross Country (2). Denisonian Staff (2). Business Manager 1916 Ady- tum. Council Debate and Oratory (3). Y. M. C. A. Treasurer (4). Assistant in Biology (2). Pete ' s achievements have been many and varied. To see him walking down street behind his tortoise rims, one would hardly think that he was a Phi Bet in his Junior year, a first class track man, a fusser and a star rough-houser. Despite all this, he has filled a big place in Denison which will take hard work to fill. Myra Wood, Ph.B., Wilmington Wilmington High. Euterpe. Graduate Conserva- tory. Geological Society. Myra ' s specialty has been music and in this she excels. Her kind and cheerful disposition has won many friends for her in spite of the fact that she has generally been house council and proctor. Few words but many good deeds characterizes her splen- didly. David H. Jones, B.S., Granville Granville High. Calliope. Chemical Society, Pres- ident (4). Dave is the Chemistry shai ' k of the age and even four years of it have not robbed him of his ready wit and continual good humor. Think of it ! When you need help or a cheering up on a rainy day, see Dave. He ' ll fix you up. Always a hard, unselfish worker, his diligence will have its own reward. Florence S. Chubbuck, Ph.B., AO, Cleveland East High. Thalia. Glee Club (3,4). Debate (3). Vice President Thalia (4). Y. W. C. A. Cabinet (4). H. P. S. A. Class Representative to Eagles Mere (3). We shall truly miss Chubby. To hear her infec- tious giggle and see her make faces, who would think that .she was one of the strongest debaters in Shepardson. There isn ' t a girl in school that can grind out the amount of work in a single day that Florence does. Her generous heart and ready sym- pathy for all have won her a big place in Denison and we are mighty sorry to see her go. 53 Helen O. Longsworth, Ph.B., k , Lima Lima High. Euterpe. .Junioi- Banquet Committee. If you want to know the latest fashion and mode, just fjo to Longy, for she always keeps up on what they are wearin.e. Besides this superior knowledge, she is quite domestic, graduating- last year in Household Economics, but she became so interested in Denison that she joined the hot-weather-throng and came back for a sure- ' nough finale. Nelson G. Rupp, B.S., P.en, MA, Port Clinton Doane Academy. Football { ' l, 3, 4), Captain (4). Board Control (4). Pan-Hellenic Council (3). Y. M. C. A. Cabinet (3). Assistant Business Manager 1916 Adytum. Glee Club (2, 3). Captain Freshman Football. Class Basketball (1, 2, 3. 4). Knocky spells All-Ohio suie enough. His fame is state-wide and we are mighty glad that Denison can claim him. There is scarcely an activity in which Nelson has not had a part and made good. From his prep days on up, he has boosted his college at every tui ' n and he will be sorely missed. Henry R. Arnold, Ph.B., l rA, Mt. Veinon Mt. Vernon High. Varsity Debate (2). Chairman .Junior Ban iuet Comm. Chairman W. B. Comm. (4). Denisonian Staff (3). Adytum Board. Heinle hails from Mt. Vernon, but despite this he is one of those fellows with the real goods in them. No one ever dreamed that he was a musician until he brought forth the music for the Big Red March, which helped pile up the points in football season. He is a capable, dependable sort and we feel sure of hearing from him in future years. Katherine B. Long, A.B., Newark Newark High. Euterpe. Language Association. You need never be long in doubt as to what Kath- erine thinks for she will always tell you if you ask her. If you are ever in need of a gay. laughing good-time, Katie is always on hand to furnish her share. Also she ' s a mighty good student, for a look at her record shows it well sprinkled with A ' s. 54 Frank A. Logan, B.S., AG, Zanesville Zanesville High. Pan-Hellenic Council (3). Math- ematics Society. Scientific Society. Logan, as he is commonly called, has surely made some reputation as a math and physics shark as well as avoiding the Sem. His chief ambition is to ' do ' somebody and be a gi ' eat singer. At the for- mer he is good, but alas ! the latter. Since Bob Ladd left school, he is the undisputed Champion Bummer of the Univei ' sity. Helen M. Dickinson, Ph.B., Bellefontaine Bellefontaine High. Euterpe, Recording- Secretary (2), Vice President (3). Street Council (3). Y. W. 0. A. Cabinet (4). H. P. S. A. Dickie is one in a thousand. At first you might think her rather serious but when you hear that dry wit of hers, you change your mind. She is one of those rare specimens, found now and then, who are absolutely thorough and dependable in everything. We envy her such qualities. E. Jean Humphreville, Ph.B., Newark Newark High. Newark Club. Jean is one of those people who help to swell the coffers of the Ohio Electric Co., so most of her time is spent in Newark when not in class. She is expect- ing to teach and with her energetic, dignified man- ner will surely succeed. We understand she is also an ardent suffragist and favors Votes for Women ' every time. Maurice B. Finch, A.B., AAT, Beaver Dam, Wis. Wayland Academy. Calliope. Student Volunteer Band. Corresponding Secretary Calliope (2), Treas- urer (3). Assistant in English (4). Maurice came all the way from Wisconsin to show us how to pile up the points and hours toward a Denison diploma. In this he has made an enviable record and has piled up friends as well. In the Student Volunteer movement he has taken an active part and will no doubt make his mark in the foreign field. Donald B. Atwell, Ph.B., M ' A, Zanesville Alligator, Zanesville High. Calliope. President (4). Y. M. C. A. Treasurer (3), Cabinet (4). President Granville Student Association (4). Editor 1916 Ady- tum. Denisonian Staff (3), Editor (1). Debate (1, 2, 3, 41, Captain (2. 3, 4). Masquers, Pan-Hellenic Council (3). Assistant in Political Science (3). H. P. S. A. Chr. Junior Prom. Comm. Senior Toaster at W. B. Don has been one of the busiest men in school for four years and whatever he undertakes is done well. The Adytum and Denisonian have claimed much of his time, and in Debate, he is a past master of the art. Between times he has proven himself a com- petent fusser which ought to make him a fine lawyer, as a woman ' s argument is hardest to overcome. E. May Graves, Ph.B., New London New London High. Philomathean, Treasurer (3), President (4). First Vice President Student As.socia- tion. Student Council. Language Association. May ' s last name is misleading, for whenever we think of her, we think of smiles and dimples. She makes very little stir when she works, but that does not mean that little is accomplished. Things u sually run smoothly in May ' s little corner of the world and this, too, can be said of her, whatevei- she does, she does well. Fred C. Hall, B.S., :2X, Newark Freddie is certainly a living example of the old adage — to know him is to admire him. If you want to know anything about the Bug-ology department or what is in all of those funny looking bottles in the Chem lab, Fred can tell you. Like all his ancestors, we predict he will be a first-class pharmacist. He ' s one of Newark ' s best products. Rachel H. Kendall, B.S., K , Amarillo, Tex. Amarillo High. Euterpe, Chaplain (2). Class Sec- retary (1). Basketball (1, 2, 3). Glee Club (1, 2, 3. 4), Manager (2). Accompanist (3), Leader (4). Masquers (2, 3). Adytum Board. Texas claims Rachel and no one who has ever known her can help but remember her smile and per- petual good humor. With a ready and helping hand for everyone, she has given her loyal support to all college activities. As leader of the Shepardson Glee Club, she has been a big success and her place will be hard to fill. Incidentally, Rachie is some cook I Alice May George, Ph.B., K ' t, Aurora, 111. West Aurora High. Philomathean, Vice President (4). Class Vice President (1). Associate Editor 1916 Adytum. Speaker Junior Banquet. Denisonian Staff (4). President Inter-Sorority Council (4). H. P. S. A. If you need an inspiring idea of any Itind, just knoclf at No. 7 King Hall and S May will hand it out to you, free of charge. She is one of Goody ' s star pupils and knows all about law and politics, be- sides knowing how to edit an Adytum and being a valuable member of the Denisonian staff. Always a cheerful, generous and helpful girl, we wish hei ' the best in the world. Donald E. VanWinkle, B.S., ms, Cheyenne, Wyo. Cheyenne High. Assistant in Chemistry. After a year of absence, Rip has again i-eturned to Denison and this time to gi ' aduate. ' Tis said on good authority that a bachelor ' s life is far from the kind he expects to lead and it is to be in the near future. When it comes to studies. Rip shines and as a Lehrer, he ' ll make them all sit ui and take notice. Marie F. Tilbe, A.B., BK, 2A , Granville Kappa Zeta. Doane Academy. Vice President Mathematics Club (3). Gilpatrick Scholarship. Marie had the misfortune to be elected to Kappa Zeta in her prep days and then to Phi Beta Kappa in her Junior year. In spite of all this greatness she is a most likeable girl, with a willingness to work in any school activity. We are proud indeed of her record and glad that she is a Denison daughtei-. Clifford C. Sherburne, Spec, SX, Newark Newark High. Chr. Football Banquet Comm. Sec- retary Athletic Association (3), President (4). Pan- Hellenic Council (3), Varsity Football Manager (4). Sherb is one of these long, drawn-out affairs with a line even longer than himself and he is strongly opposed to small children using the vile weed. His childhood fancies, evidently, did not make him immune from solving Stone Hall mysteries and as a ladies man — he ' s authority, Sherb is one of the best liked fellows in school and we hope he will come back often. 57 We F. Richard Clary, B.S., k: , Cambridge Cambridge High. Pan-Hellenic Council (3). Var- sity Football (2, 3, 4). Dick is an All-Ohio man when it comes to football and fussing, and he is a star track man too. doin.a ' the six miles from Newark in record time in the wee small hours. But all this has not inter- fered with his college work, if we are to judge from the number of A ' s that he gets. Dick hails from Cambridge and the woist of it is, that he says he ' s proud of it ! Mary F. McDonald, Ph.B., x i ' A, Dayton Steele High. Euterpe, Secretary (2). Glee Club (3, 4), Treasurei- (4). Masquers (3, 4). Secretary (4). Adytum Board. Intei-Sorority Council (4). A little ray of sunshine ! Evei-yone will remember Mary and her brio-ht eyes. She is a cheerful and willing worker in everything and is always busy at something. All phases of college activities have claimed her, especially dramatics and .glee club, while she has helped manage this year ' s Adytum as a side- line. Laura E. Johnson, A.B., AO, Mead, Neb. Cherry Hill High. Thalia. Student Volunteer Band. Laura hails from the wild and woolly west — to be specific, from Cherry Hill Farm, Mead, Nebraska, and many are the weird and wonderful tales we have heard about that farm ! But music hath its charms and brought Laura all the way to Shepardson where she has been a capable student in the Conservatory as well as on the Hill. Philip G. Horton, B.S., nuE, Newark Mm Newark Hi.gh. Chemical Society. Vice President (4). Geological Society. Assistant in Chemistry (4). Phil is one of those industrious fellows who wants an education even if that means riding on the Granville-Newark car line every morning. Not every- body could do that. In Chemistry he is one of these man-eating fishes and for him, woman hath no charms. 58 J. EUTH Mills, A.B., SA , Omaha, Neb. Omaha Hish. Euterpe, Treasurer (3). Vice Pres- ident Class (3). Secretary Student Association (3). Adytum Board. Basl etball (2. 4), Manager (1). Inter-Sorority Council (3, 4). Lanauase Association, Secretary (4). Since knowing Ruth, we have formed quite a good opinion about the far-away West and only wish it would send more like her Denisonward. She is small but mighty and has filled many places of responsi- bility while in school. Among other things, she seems to take issue with any ' individualistic ' movement, be- ing, by the way, a very staunch supporter of ' New- port. ' Edward E. Alward, Ph.B., QUE, Pataskala Pataskala High. Calliope. Track (2). H. P. S. A. Eddie ' s favorite drink is gasoline, his favorite literature is an auto catalogue, his favorite flower is the Studebaker and his favorite pastime is giving milk-men close shaves on the Newark road. Despite his bad habit of fussing, he ' s a 60-horsepower, ball- bearing, puncture-proof good fellow and we have hopes ! Harold W. Jones, Ph.B., BOn, Middletown Middletown High. Franklin. D. D. D. (1). Ady- tum Board. Glee Club (4). H. P. S. A. Jonesy has ever been a hard worker, both for his class and the school. But he has found time to get in many credit hours of Seminary Work as well as star in Goody ' s courses. When it comes to business, Hal is right there, whether it be the bus- iness of stirring up a i-ough-house or bringing in the sheckles. Emelyn E. Grove, Ph.B., Toledo Central High. Euterpe. Another Toledo girl ! Emelyn ' s dimples and smile belie her sober intentions when doing her piactice teaching with our young preps, but her knowledge of Latin assures us of real success in the teacher- world. And we are sure that her cheery, happy dis- position will brighten any school-room. Hi 59 Doris R. Fredzrickson, Ph.B., Granville Doane Academy. Thalia, Treasurer (4). Dodie may not have as much to say as some but when she does say something — you may be sure it is something worth hearing. And as underneath still water, there are often little ripples, so in Dodie the humor comes bubbling up when we least expect it. Well-liUed by all and a true friend to everyone, she will be a worthy representative of her Alma Mater. Leland D. Schock, B.S., BBIl, Noi-walk Noi-walk High. Football (2, 3, 4). Manager Bas- ketball (3). Masquers (2, 3, 4). Chr. Field Day (2). In spite of the fact that he has had many obstacles in his college career, his remarkable pluck and per- severance have enabled hi m to overcome them all. In his unassuming way, he has besieged studies, athletics and the Sem, and in each has obtained a fine rec- ord. The business world can use more like him and so can Denison. I. Mabel Crawford, Ph.B., Mt. Gilead Mt. Gilead High. Euteipe. Street Council (3). Language Association ( 4 ) . Mable did not come to us from very fai ' away — but distance lends enchantment does not apply in her case, as her closest friends will testify. She is always ready with a smile wherever it is needed and is a most excellent person to ,go to if you have a case of the blues. Success to you, Mabel, in everything. Edwin H. Kinney, B.S., i ' VA, Topeka, Kan. Topeka High. Franklin. Leaders Class (2, 3, 4). Orchestra (1, 2, 3). Adytum Board. President Math- ematics Society (3). Secretary to the President (1). Secretary to Prof. Coons (3, 4). Ed is a hard working, earnest student although his studies have not kept him from entering into outside work. He has been an ardent supporter of the Lead- ers Class and has performed his part well in class activities. We can ' t imagine what Coonie will do without his able secretary, for a better man for this place will be hard to find. 60 Harry Brock, Ph.B., rA, Dayton Steele High. Class Football (1. 2). Class Basket- ball (2, 3). Class Baseball (1, 2, 3). Class Track (1, 2). Football (2, 3. 4). Track (2, 3, 4). Bas- ketball Manager (4). President Pan-Hellenic Coun- cil (4). Denisonian Staff (3). Vice President Ath- letic Association (3). Babe is a football man from whistle to whistle and a real All-Ohio end, also a star at track. Why he has avoided the Sem throughout his course, still remains a puzzle, although the fact that he has ma- jored in engineering may explain part of it. Straight- forward and frank, men of his type are bound to succeed. Lois L. Langstaff, Ph.B., Richwood Richwood High. Thalia, Vice President (3). Loie is studious and domestic, which means she has made good on the Hill as well as in Household Economics, for verily, she can sew a fine seam. In literary work she has taken a prominent part and we believe she will make her mark as a teacher, always reflecting credit on her Alma Mater. Wayne W. Wine, B.S., Zanesville Sycamore. Zanesville High. Franklin. Inter-Class Winning Cross Country Team (1). Denisonian Staff (2). Junior Banquet Comm., W. B. Comm. (4). Masquers. Chemical Society. When it comes to fun and more of it, you can count on Wine being in it for all his worth. Seri- ously though, in literary and student lines he is right there and they say as a penman, he shines brightest. For the Homer Gazette gets a weekly article — or have we made a mistake ? Mary F. Walsh, Ph.B., x I ' A, Cedar Springs, Mich. Cedar Springs High. Thalia, Treasurer (3), In- ter-Sorority Council (4). In Mary we have a Michigan girl of the finest type : one who always has something to do and is contin- ually at it. In the world, these traits will win for her what they have won at Denison — friends and suc- cess. On walking days, one can usually find them slowly sauntering along some country road, or over the Dustin farm?? 61 Gerald B. Athey, B.S., 2X, ma, Dayton Alligator. Doane Academy. Glet ' Club (1, 2, 3), Leader (3). Class President (1). D. D. D. (1, 2). Vice President Y. M. C. A. (4), Cabinet (4). Pan- Hellenic Council (4). Junior Toaster at W. B. Adytum Board. Jelly is one of those boys who appreciates a col- lege education and is not afraid to say so. He has been very active in Y. M. C. A. work and when it comes to singing — he has few equals. A born leader in everything, we look for the best from him. By the way, he always was a staunch supporter of the Sem in the plural sense, but his pin got slippery and — now it is different. R. Maud Ditmars, Ph.B., Granville Camoon High, Mo. Philomathean. Glee Club (2, 3, 4). H. P. S. A.. Vice President (4). Official Chaperone. We always call her Miss Ditmars because of her high capacity as Official Chaperone and she does this so graciously and with so much good-will that we always ask her again. In the class-room she has made a splendid record and in inventing original and clever stunts she as no equal. We would like her to stay on and on. Katherine F. Wood, Ph.B., X I ' A, Wil- liamsburg, Ky. Cumberland College. Thalia, Secretary (3), Piesi- dent (4). Adytum Board. Class Secretary (3). Denisonian Staff (3). Y. W. C. A. Cabinet (4). Katherine comes to us from Kentucky and surely has the typical southern idea of real hospitality. She possesses the rare trait of originality and although she never says much, she has been active in many lines of college work. During the past year she has been of great assistance, financially, to the Post Office department, and is said to be particularly in- terested in the Sixth City. Almonte C. Howell, A.B., imE, ma, Ashtabula Grand River Institute. Franklin. Y. M. C. A. Cabinet (2). Masquers. Sec ' y-Treas. Engwerson Choral Society (4). Orchestra (2, 3, 4). Denisonian Staff (1, 2), Associate Editor (3). Adytum Board. Class Poet (3). Assistant in English (2, 3, 4). Leaders Class (4). Although Monty has spent many weary hours correcting English themes, this has not hindered him from being quite an accomplished fusser. Originsil- ity is his middle name and his literary and dramatic work is noteworthy. These qualities, with his good nature and supei-abundance of pep mean all sorts of success for him. 62 G. E. Black, A.B., Mt. Vernon Mt. Vernon High. Gospel Team. Black could not stay away from Denison so is with us this year to get his sheep-skin. It will represent hard work and sacrifice, but his industry, cheerful- ness and determination make it plain that he will make a name for himself wherever he goes. He car- ries our best wishes with him. Ralph G. Koontz, B.S., P.UE, St. Louisville St. Louisville Hiah. Football Squad (4). Assistant in Physics. No one would ever suspect that this quiet Physics shark had ever offended Cupid, but it is whispered around that someone still waits for him back in St. Louisville and that she doesn ' t wait in vain. He is Coonie ' s right hand man and knows all about an automatic telephone besides being a good football player. 63 Senior Poem Our College Home 0 Granville! with thy wooded hills, Thy shady paths and shimmering rills, Our love for Thee has grown more dear With every swiftly passing year. From Chapel in the valley still To College Halls upon the Hill We have toiled upward — done our best, Then turned to Thee for quiet rest. Four years in sweet communion spent With Thee, on mere book lore intent, Were wasted quite, had we but missed The joy of Sugar Loaf sunkissed. Thy fields of long stemmed violets blue Tingeing Spring Valley with their hue. The cardinal ' s whistle, note of thrush Whose liquid song at evening ' s hush Drenches our souls with peace and joy And calm so pure, naught can alloy. The peace of God seems over all. We feel His presence, hear His call To nobler service — higher aims And recognize His sovereign claims. We soon must leave thee and must tread Life ' s hard worn way before us spread. May our ambitions tower as high As thy hills pointing to the sky, May song of lark and thrush and wren Sing in us as we walk with men. Keeping us ever young in heart As in Life ' s toil we take our part. 64 M c C onn a u ghey Miss R. Palmer Miss L. Palmer Smith Junior Class Officers President GEORGE C. McCONNAUGHEY Vice-President RUTH E. PALMER Secretary LORA F. PalMer Treasurer Allen F. Smith Historian Marjorie P. Benoy Poet John M. Martin 66 Junior Class History In these days, one can never be sure of having justice done him even by his tombstone, so we of the class of Nineteen Hundred and Eighteen have decided to sing our own praises that there may be no mistake about the tune. One exquisite day in early autumn, nearly three years ago, with our best suits folded away in our little suitcases, we arrived ; silently we crept through the cracks in their fortifications, while they were having their afternoon snooze, and pierced to the very heart of their mighty castle, — and when they opened their eyes, those dignified upper classmen, there we were. We put on our little green hats and sat on their Senior bench, we occupied their Senior platform in chapel and marched out ahead of them. But they seemed to enjoy our ways, after they got used to them. Those early days were days of fighting. We came out of every tourna- ment like true knights, bearing our defeat or victory with dignity. Our fame soon spread throughout the region, and we were spoken of as those who knew how to do their work well. Our victories came to be more numerous than our defeats, but we had learned how to be gracious victors. We used to ride far and wide in search of adventure. One night we traveled seven miles through a blinding rain, conquered a strong city, ate up all the spoils, and returned uninjured. And so our early life passed, divided between feasting and conflict, and now we have come to a period of greater dignity — of more grandeur, we may say, perhaps — when we ride away in silver carriages and feast on nectar with a French name to the music of golden harps. This is indeed a glorious period. But here I shall end the third volume of the history of the class of 1918 and you shall know the rest of our story at another time. 67 Lloyd L.

When our trails met, we struck a friendly hand ; And I knew I ' d come to like him for his hospitality, — For the way he grinned, so cheerful-like and grand . Though the tragedy of Life had left its sorrow on my brow, And a shadow grim stood heavy on my heart. Since we ' ve journeyed on together all is joy and sunshine now; And I ' d rather hoped we ' d never have to part. For we ' ve laughed and sung like comrades as we climbed the rugged way ; We have swapped our yarns and divvied up our grub; We have felt our hearts athrobbing, when we couldn ' t find words to say, And in danger we have felt our shoulders rub. Soon my chum will hear the calling irresistible from home, And he ' ll leave me feeling miserable and glum, ' Cause I ' ll know I ' ll have to wander up the trail all alone, With a longing and the memory of my chum. Then will come the nights of longing! Oh the days of wondering! Oh the lonesomeness, — that awful hollow pain ! Will the God who led him to me, to restore my faith in Him, — Will he bring me back my dear old chum again? Or must I go down the trail with my journey ' s end in view, — Always praying, always looking back to see, If the same heartache and longing will our comradeship renew, Bringing back the same old college chum to me.

Martin Sophomore Class History It is indeed a difficult matter to make a brief history of so illustrious a class. We started, in the fall of 1915, to show that we were a class not soon to be forgotten, when our unusually fine and promising boys and girls arrived from many sources, via the Ohio Electric Railway and the T. 0. C. Limited, with the help of George Bash, the Old Reliable and other invaluable aids. While we have twice undergone seeming defeat in the class scraps, each time we have in reality come out victorious ; for often it is defeat which is the stepping stone to final victory. Because of our losses we have become more firmly united, until now we stand a solid unit of strength, realizing the truth of the old adage, In unity lies strength. Our class has shown its value in college activities, first of all in ath- letics. It has produced extraordinary football material, giving nine men out of twenty-six to the Varsity squad. The Sophomore class claims too, one of the three Denison men mentioned for the All-Ohio. In basket- ball also, the class is holding up well its part. When it comes to activities along musical lines we furnish the Glee Club its leader besides several of the members. The class has taken its place in the social activities of the college in a creditable manner and has held numerous gatherings greatly enjoyed by all the members. These have added in no small measure to the class enthusiasm and spirit. When you want to find a good example of the real genuine Denison Spirit that you read about, hear talked of and that sets every fibre of your being just tingling, look at our Sophomore Class. We ' ve got the stuff! Hurrah, then, for our beloved class, — the Class of 1919. But Hur- rah for old D.

For, when the old chapel bell announced the advent of the new school year, it called together the largest Freshman class that has ever entered our college. When they first saw us, people thought we bore the earmarks of unmistakable ability, and, in the brief interval of time that has elapsed since then, many of them have had their fondest hopes realized. On the 23rd of September our first class meeting was held. At that meeting we elected our class officers for the year and made plans by which we hoped to subdue our worthy and troublesome rivals — the Sophomores ! On the morning of the annual Freshman-Sophomore Scrap, the Freshmen girls were able to cheer the boys on to brilliant victories, both in the relay race and in the flag rush. In the afternoon, the Freshmen, thrilled by the spirit of victory and the Sophomores, lashed by the sting of the morning defeats, met for the last desperate struggle of the day — the football game. During the whole game, the teams swayed back and forth in the middle of the field ; everyone was tense ; — each man was doing his best. In the last minute, a forward pass was completed ; the Fresh- men scored a touchdown and kicked goal ; the whistle blew and the game ended. A mighty cheer arose from the Freshman grandstand as we rushed out on the field for a march. We had not only won the game but we had accomplished something that had only been dreamed of before — we had won all three events. In justice to the Sophomores it must be said that they fought hard in every event. The result of the relay race and the football game was uncertain until the very last moment. This fact alone should make us feel all the prouder of our victories, for we know they were won over a worthy foe. Among the boys there has grown quite an interest in athletics. After the scrap almost the whole squad stayed out to give Varsity practice and we won from Livy the remark that, 1920 had the best Freshman football team that has ever been in Denison. Not a few stars have made their appearance on the gym floor and our spring athletics promise to be quite as successful as our ventures on the gridiron and the basketball floor. Also places on the Varsity Debating team are held by members of the 1920 class. Our first class stunt was held in Doane Gymnasium where we en- joyed ourselves and became better acquainted with each other. Although we have been somewhat tardy in adopting some of the college customs, we have yet exerted a deepening, widening influence in Denison life and Denison activity; an influence which we all hope will be for the better- ment of our chosen college in every phase of her activity during our course at Denison and during the days to come. 93 Freshmen To]) Roto: Mary Hazlett, Garnet Schiedt, Gertrude Hulce, Genevieve Aldrich, Sarah Clark Second Roiv: M ary Jardine, Lucille Grant, Sara Cochran, Katherine Stout Third Roiv : Alyce Converse, Virginia Price, Margaret Speicher, Elsie Rogers, Gladys Skevington Fourth Row: Ethel DeLong, Mildred Klinger, Dorothy Campbell, Hazel Stainbrook Fifth Row: Thelma Overturf, Berenice Jackson, Lucille Stockberger, Edna Skidmore Bottom Row: Mary Long, Margaret Loretz, Helen Shumaker 94 Freshmen Top Row: W.

And, like the leaves that in the winter time Do gather close to shield a forest flower. Thus, class of nineteen-twenty, do we come ; We ' ll guard thee, keep thee through thy every hour. For thou indeed art blossom of our hope ; Fair dost thou rise ' neath Fortune ' s light caress; Thy heart is gold ; thy petals white and blue ; Thy chalice-cup holds all our happiness. 102 Denison Spirit Victory for Denison is the song of every true Denison supporter. Victory has been the aim and during the past few years this aim has been realized in achievement. Our teams have seen victories, and of these victories we are justly proud. But we have also at times met defeat, and we are proud to say that we took defeat like true sportsmen. However, there is something that we are prouder of than mere victory — and that is our Denison Spirit, that un- dying spirit that teaches us to play the game and play it hard, but at all times to play it clean and with victory, only when victory is deserved. We will ever tell of the might of our athletes; we will spread far and wide the fame of our coaches; we will regard championships won as ambitions accomplished. But above all these, we will put Denison Spirit, the spirit that makes athletics what they are at Denison. We shall ever point to Laurels won as Laurels earned. Clean sportsmanship is the God before which we all bow. 104 J ivy Walter J. Livingston has been unanimously chosen by the students of Denison as All-Ohio Coach of Athletics. At the present time it is an accepted fact too, that he is feared by more schools in the state than any other coach. Livy first learned athletics at Denison and it is his fine Denison spirit that makes him stay with us through thick and thin. During his stay at Granville as Coach, he has shown that he is always working for Den- ison, he always puts Denison first, and she generally is first when Livy gets a hold of things. Every man in school is solid behind Livy and he instills the determina- tion to win by fair means into his men until they don ' t know how to do anything else. Ask the man who has been under Livy what he thinks of him ? And the answer will come back every time — absolutely the squar- est, cleanest, best coach in Ohio. Who says he isn ' t worthy of his title — All-Ohio Coach ! 105 Athletic Association Officers For 1916 President Clifford C. Sherburne Vice President Gordon R. Lang Secretary Emerald B.

Chandler 306 Denison Athletics Athletics at Denison are something to be proud of today. In the dark ages of Athletics, athletes were looked upon as men who were generally not of the best calibre. But today, athletics, college athletics especially, has developed into clean sportsmanship all the way through. The men on the teams are of the type that generally make the greatest success in after life. Athletics at Denison has been the greatest factor in building up the school and making it what it is today. Why is this? It is because the men who have represented the various teams from Denison have always shown that they are playing not merely for their own reputation, but for the honor and glory of their Alma Mater. That is why we have the fine school that is now to be found in Gran- ville. These men have won Championships, placed more men on All-Ohio teams in nearly every sport than any other school in the State, and back of it all, have shown to people who have seen them perform that they have Denison at heart. Thus we are indebted to these representative men of Denison for being the greatest factor in bringing the type of young men to our college who always make for the best. 107 Happy Russel A. Currin, or as he is better known to us — Happy — so called on account of his ever ready laugh and the smile that won ' t come off. Happy has surely made us a fine cheer-leader this year and one that we are all proud of. He won his laurels at Dayton when we played Miami, by showing the Dayton people and the Miami students a few things about yelling. Being Cheer Leader is a difficult task, but Happy has filled the bill admirably. 108 Tied For 1916 Football Championship Tied with Miami for the Ohio Conference Championship! This was the result of the 1916 Football season. Although some critics give Miami the title and others give it to Denison, neither can justly claim it, as neither was defeated by an Ohio Conference team, and when Denison met Miami at Dayton, they played to a scoreless tie. The 1916 football season for Denison was one of the most successful in the history of the school. The team seemed to be ripped to pieces time after time by bigger and heavier teams. But on and on Livy drove his men. Fight, he said, and they did fight. As a result, victory came, and while the team did not sufl:er a defeat by a Conference team, two tie games broke in on an otherwise successful season. Previous to the opening of school, Livy had sent out his call for all football candidates to be on hand at Beaver Field on Monday, September 11th. So at 3:30, the few students who had arrived a bit early, saw Livy ' s cohorts start out on the Rocky Road to Dublin, for indeed the ground seemed that way after the summer ' s vacation. Three full teams reported and the work progressed rapidly. After a couple of weeks ' prac- tice, the Freshman team, under the efficient coaching of Prof. Fish and Knocky Rupp, bucked up against Varsity for the first practice game and furnished interesting opposition although they could only accumulate six points as compared with the Big Red team ' s thirty-four. Another week ' s practice took out a few more rough places and served to put the boys in fair shape for the opening game with Otterbain, a non-conference team. This was a hard fought game from beginning to end, though it didn ' t count in our total average, and we finally suffered a 7 to 0 defeat. We were most unfortunate too, in having several of our best players injured in this game, from which injuries they never fully recovered during the entire season. Cook, Brock and Jenkins played in fine form and Capt. Rupp while in the game showed he was still All-Ohio material. A week later Livy had his men whipped into good shape and ready to start out the Ohio Conference season with Cincinnati as our first opponent. As was expected, the Big Red defeated the Cincinnati pigskin chasers, 29 to 0. Decker ' s forward passing was excellent and Meredith and Cook were bears on the line, breaking up many would-be plays for Cincinnati. The next game was with Wittenberg at Springfield. The outcome was never in doubt after the first five minutes when Capt. Knocky Rupp ran ninety yards for our first score. He, together with Cook at center, played in true All-Ohio form and the Big Red continued to pile up the score until it was 46-0 as the game ended. Reserve at Cleveland was 110 our next victim and the boys fought hard, as they remembered it was Reserve who put a crimp in their championship hopes the year before. The result was that the Big Red proved a tartar for the up-state team and won from them 27 to 6. Here the whole team starred with Lyne, Decker and Jenkins piling up the score and Reynolds, Brock, Cook and Clary making big holes in the Reserve line. Ohio Northern came next and as Miami had a day off, George Little brought his gridders up to see us perform. Livy, however, fooled him and played his entire second and third teams throughout most of the game. They proved too much for the visiting team at that and we won 19 to 0 with Capt. Rupp, Decker and Brock starring while in the game. By this time it had become a recognized fact over the state that the fight for premier honors lay between Denison and Miami. Both teams were coming strong and neither had suffered defeat by any Ohio Confer- ence teams. Prior to the game it seemed to be generally conceded that Miami had the edge on Denison, but the game at Dayton on November third, before the largest crowd that ever saw a game there, showed both teams to be evenly matched, neither having any edge as far as real play- ing was concerned. Dame Fortune favored first Denison and then Miami, with both teams fighting like tigers, but neither was able to grasp Old Man Opportunity and score. The Big Red team held Miami, a much heavier team, time and time again, and played them to a tie merely because they had the spirit that couldn ' t be beaten. A scoreless tie tells the final result of the game. Akron was the next to take the count and fell before the Big Red attack without much difficulty by the score of 34-6. The playing of Rupp and Decker in the backfield and Moody and Brock on the line were the out- standing features of the victory. The last game, the Home Coming Game, was played at Granville with our old rival, Ohio Wesleyan, with both teams in fine shape for the final fray, but Denison at a little disadvantage on account of the wet field which handicapped our open style play. Wesleyan secured their only score in the second quarter when Walters intercepted a forward pass and ran fifty yards for a touchdown. In the final quarter, we evened matters up by a 15 yard pass, Rupp to Brock, who then ran fifty yards for a touchdown. Cook kicked the goal, tying the score at 7 to 7 and the game ended shortly after. The departing Seniors, Capt. Rupp, Clary, Brock, Reynolds and Schock, all covered themselves with glory in this final encounter and they will be sadly missed when next fall rolls around. This year ' s team was one that will long be remembered as the best defensive team that Denison ever had. There was not a single touchdown made by an Ohio Conference team by bucking the line and the power offensively of the team is shown in its amassing 162 points to its oppo- nents ' 26. We take our hats off to the 1916 Big Red! m 112 Harmony should be the watchword of the season, because no combination of individuals, working together for a common purpose, can secure the best results unless they pull together, and this is especially true of a football team. The last instruc- tions of our coach were: You must play even better than you know how to play. Never quit for one second, but play yourselves to a standstill. Remember that if you are hurt, there is another just as good, and anxious to take your place. The individuals on the team played exceptionally v eW. The center was accurate, for the ball came to the quarter or to a backfield man with the greatest regularity, neither too fast nor too slow. The guards were unselfish. Much of their best playing was missed by the average spectator. Our ends were unusually good, for they realized that they should guard the side line and whatever happened must not let a man pass them on the outside. Optimism is a great asset to a quarterback. The man who gives the signals and directs the play must have supreme confidence in those plays or his team loses heart. When you find an end and tackle playing well together the coach has a real find. The end fights the interference along and the tackle smashes it and cleans it off, letting someone else get the runner. It matters not how good the backs may be; they cannot accomplish much behind a weak line, while mediocre backs may be able to get results behind a strong line. Therefore, it was Livy ' s main idea to so arrange the players this year as to provide a strong line. So let ' s all play the game. Don ' t quit and don ' t complain. Then if you win, it is well worth while and if you lose you know you have done your best and the better team has won. — Knocky Rupp Aftei a backward glance at the successful seasons of our football teams for the past few years, we cannot help but feel more or less proud of their record. Chief credit of course goes to Livy, but we cannot over-estimate what such men as Black, Reese, Ladd and Rupp have done as their share in winning the honors in which we take such pride. The 1916 season was undoubtedly a great success as far as we were concerned. It found us at the end of the season tied for first place in the Ohio Conference and a record of only one game lost which was due to the fact that we met a team just a little too strong for our early season form. But how about 1917? Is there any reason why we should not win the Ohio Con- ference Championship? Despite the loss of such men as Rupp, Clary and Brock, whose places will be hard to fill, we can see nothing but a winning squad when Livy leads them out on the field next September. Surely we will not be lacking in material with a Freshman team which Livy says was the best that Denison ever had. So next fall when the squad starts out with a bunch like Roudebush, Selzer, MacMahon, Bucher, Ladd and Owen as new men, not to mention those who still remain from this past year ' s squad, do we go too far in looking forward to a Championship team? However this is not all. We must not forget the rooters who are so essential to a winning team anywhere. In the past, Denison has had the reputation of having the livest and squarest bunch of rooters to be found in the state. Of course they are going to live up to the standard next year and get behind the Big Red with even more enthusiasm. With backing like this, even State and Brown can well look to their laurels. Adding all these things together the result must be — the Ohio Conference Cham- pionship for 1917. — Bill Meredith 113 Capt. Rupp — Knocky, captain of this year ' s all- conquering eleven and cap- tain of the All-Ohio team; the best halfback that has ever graduated from Den- ison and anything else you wish to add along the foot- ball line. We are mighty sorry he has played his last season for the Big Red. Meredith— Captain-elect of the 1917 team. Bill IS the boy who plays tackle and he can surely play it. It makes you feel good to see him reach around three or four players and grab his man. He also made a touchdown this year. Brock— Babe, the boy who puts up the best offen- sive and defensive game of any man in the state, and so was naturally selected to hold down this position on the mythical All-Ohio team. Babe saved us time and again this year and we ' re sorry he won ' t be here next year to repeat. Cook — Tom played his first year for Denison this season and played it right by making All-Ohio center. He plays in the good old Dave Reese style, accurate and reliable, and much can be expected from him the next two years. 114 Clary— Dick has played three years on the Big Red team, and though his work is not as spec- tacular as some, he was one of the steadiest guards that Denison has ever had. When a hole was needed to get a play through the line, Dick could be de- pended, on to make it. Another Senior. Schock — Lee ' s football career has been somewhat mixed up but he has al- ways been a hard player and a good scrapper. He put up a good game at end this year when not needed in the backfield. We are sorry to lose him. Decker— Deck is the running-mate of Rupp at half and certainly is a cap- able one. His playing is always sensational, ana his going over, through or under the line was re- markable. Another half to go with Harley next year on the All- Ohio. Reynolds — Cady came back to Denison this year after staying out a while and surely came back in football. He was always there on the line fighting, as was shown in the Re- serve and Ohio Northern games especially. We will miss him next year. 115 Jenkins — Sid plays a steady game at any posi- tion he is placed. He has aliDwn that he has the head for a quarterback, but he was needed else- where at times this year. He will be with us again next season and we are mighty glad to have him back. Earnshaw — Stubby is another one of those Soph- omores who made good this year. He played both quarterback and halfback in fine shape and much can be expected from him i n the next two years that he has with the Big Red. Crites— Babe, the 200- pound boy, who used all his avoirdupois in the Mi- ami game at Dayton and tore things up in fine style. He will be here an- other year and will play opposite Meredith at tackle if he keeps up his Dayton style of game. Lyne — Paul is a Soph- omore and put up a fine game at fullback. He was handicapped part of the season by injuries but to see his defensive game, one wouldn ' t think it. He has that peculiar ability of being able to tell just where a play is going. 116 Fi-asch — Dutch sur- prised himself and every- body else this year by making a guard. He was one of the scrappiest players on the team and has the pep and fight that makes him never give up. Another year for him. Moody — This was Moody ' s first year on the Big Red team and he surely made good with a vengeance. He wasn ' t so large, but was always there when most needed and along toward the last of the season played a great game. He is only a Junior. Sherburne — She r b made a regular manager for the best team Denison has had for many years. He always worked foi he comfort of the players when traveling and took care of the visiting teams in fine shape. In Cleve- land, the team was met at the train and taken to the hotel in Packards. Some manager ! Livy — Livy put out the best defensive team of his career this year and also had a scoring ma- chine of no mean ability. The nice part about Livy ' s teams are that they grow better every year. Look out then, boys, for next season ! 117 O O • 1—1 m o o CP o a; Q O PI Cm a; C 2 m O O Q S O CO o § d 6 d a; CO CO o fac Pi oT 1 a; fx; o a p d o o o iy2 ' o c d o v .

However, with Thiele and Ladd as a nucleus, a team was developed which fought hard to retain the title, failing only because of a lack of experience in competition with more seasoned veterans. Still we find Livy ' s Big Red quintet of last season spoken of as being the fastest in the state as well as the most consistent scoring machine of the year. Wittenberg, who finished second in the Conference, appeared on the local floor first, and were defeated 35-33 in a hotly contested game. Cap- ital came the next night and were duly vanquished. Then old man Grippe came in and did all sorts of damage, so much in fact, that the team was not itself again until well along toward the latter part of the season. With mostly a substitute line-up, Kenyon was beaten on the home floor and before the team could get together again after their siege of La Grippe, Ohio Wesleyan had taken two victories from us, the last one being by the close score of 25-24. Oberlin next appeared and was sent home with the small end of a 32-22 score. On the Cleveland trip, Mt. Union playing in a roller skating rink as a gym, defeated us in an overtime game, 27-24, but the next night we walloped Reserve on her own floor. Then the Harrisons, made up of former Denison stars, and Miami were taken over on our floor, and the Bufi ' alo Germans came along and took our measure by the close score of 33-30. Three games away from home fol- lowed, in which we lost to Oberlin and won decisively from Cincinnati and Miami. Mt. Union appeared as the last attraction for the season and the Big Red certainly did make up for the defeat handed them early in the season, by trouncing them 88 to 24. With the incoming Sophomores and the reserves, things look promising toward regaining the much coveted State Title. 120 Captain Thiele — Our big All- Ohio center for two years displayed his ability when a Freshman. Of course he would not be a Fresh- man forever, and therefore, we have watched his phenomenal play- ing on the Varsity for the past three years. He was easily the individual star of the Big Red and had no peer in the state as was shown by his being selected to Captain the All-Ohio quintet. Jenkins — Sid, the Captain-elect for 1916, was one of the mainstays of the team. Always consistent and reliable at any time, he played a floor game that was unequaled, and will be beyond a doubt a worthy leader for the new team. Sid is the all-around type of player that we like to see and his accu- rate foul-shooting was largely re- sponsible for our Wittenberg vic- tory. Nine out of ten fouls was easy for this boy. Ladd — Laddie, the lad with the pep and the smile, was always on the job and put up a fine scrappy game at guard. He han- dled the ball well and was chiefly instrumental in keeping the ball in Denison ' s end of the floor. When needed he could also drop them in from the middle of the floor. This was Don ' s first year as a regular on the Varsity and he made good with a vengeance. Stankard — Stank, at guard, was the old reliable when it came to keeping the other side from making the baskets. And the for- ward who tried to rough him, usu- ally found himself up against the wrong man. Dribbling was Stank ' s middle name and he was always good for a side shot. This was his first and only year on the Big Red as graduation takes him and leaves a hard place to fill. Lang — Chubby proved him- self a good running-mate for Sid and when it came to covering all points of the floor at once — count on him. He ran his guard to death and his cliief delight was to take the tip-off from Dutch at center and start the ball on its journey toward our basket. We are glad to have him with us for two more years. Meredith — Bill, the big guard, center or forward, as the case de- manded, was always ready to take any of the positions and could be depended upon to fill them well. His great height gave him a big advantage over his opponent and his long arms were always in the way of the ball just when his op- ponent least expected it. He will be with us for two more years and will be a valuable asset for the coming Varsity. Schock — Manager Schock, of the 1916 Big Red team, if you please. Lee was the boy who handled the cash and looked after all the com- forts of the team, even to getting Jenkins and Meredith a nurse, as Livy suggested. Whenever you wanted Lee, just look for a man with a receipt book out and pencil in hand and you had found him. He took the best of care of the team and was a very capable man- ager. Livy — Here we have our All- Ohio coach again — Livy. There is not very much that can be said dif- ferent about him for we are always writing him up and most all has been said. But we can at least echo the past sentiments that when it comes to coaching basketball, Livy is surely right there. We feel that this is his best bet and he is always away in front in turning out real championship teams. 123 1916 Baseball Review The 1916 season in baseball was an off season. The veterans of 1915 were greatly missed and the team was handicapped by sickness and acci- dents. Then too, the field was in bad shape on account of the rainy weather and prevented practice. Coach Livy built up a strong, hard fighting nine, however, which never stopped until the game was finished and the scores show the team worked hard and consistently. The pitching staff developed to be strong and effective with Captain Yoakam on the mound, baffling many a batter with his speed and curves. The slugging department was held up in good shape by Ladd and Thiele, many and opportune being the hits that came off their bats. Also we must not forget Home Run Bacon, who shone especially bright at Delaware. As the season progressed, the team showed steady improvement and should be right up among them next season. In the Freshman class, there were many star performers who will help greatly and they, together with those back from this season, will serve to make this sport a success in 1917. The season opened on April 21st when Reserve defeated Denison on Beaver Field by the small margin of 8-6. The game was fast with Den- ison making the greater number of hits but not being able to group them. The same story may be told at Alliance about the ' game there when Mt. Union defeated the Big Red 4-3. The Wesleyan game at Delaware followed and was hard fought from beginning to end, but owing to the fact that some of the team were saved for the track meet with Miami, we were defeated 7-4 after knocking their crack pitcher off the mound. On May 9th, Bethany was defeated 4-3 at Granville after a ninth inning rally on their part which finally ended suc- cessfully for the Big Red as the score shows. The team then journeyed to Wooster for the first game on their new field and did the proper thing, by letting them celebrate the opening with a victory, 5-3. Miami came next and were defeated in a one-sided fray when our boys secured ten runs to their two, with the home team outplaying the down-staters throughout. The most interesting game of the season came when Otterbein was met at Westerville. It was nip and tuck during the whole contest and was finally won in the thirteenth inning with a home run by Lingrel, the Otterbein center fielder. Ohio State was next and found us easy, winning by the one-sided score of 21-1. Akron visited Granville in what proved to be our final game and were sent home with drooping feathers, 12-2. On account of rain, the remaining games with Wesleyan and the Alumni had to be called off and the season was over, three victories and six defeats telling the final story. 124 Captain Yoakam, at the pitching end of the battery, was the man with the pep. He worked hard at all times, win or lose, and his ability to hit at the right time won many of his own games. Rosie Marsh was the nucleus of the outfield. He starred at covering right field and hitting while his pitching was of no less renown and proved effective in the pinches. Don Ladd at the receiving end of the battery was one of the mainstays of the team. His ability to get on base was the cause of his occupying the head of the batting list and his quick pegging to any base was a feature of all the games. He led the team in hitting. Dutch Thiele was a star at picking up the bad bouncers. He did this around third base and is remembered for his sen- sational one-hand stabs and clever field- ing. When with the track squad, his absence was greatly felt. Swede Swanson blasted the hopes of the batters many a time when he camped under those long flies out in center field. He pegged home well and hit the ball in his turn. Eggs Bacon, the Home Run king, was our shortstop and a real veteran. When a ball came in his direction he put his glove on it, pegged it accurately to first and the man was out. The hit of the season was his long home run at Del- aware. 125 1 1l Paul Askin, not being so very large, one would not think he could throw the ball in from left field where he played. He could do it though in fine shape and his fielding and baserunning were a big factor in our scores. Bub Yoakam made his letter cavort- ing out around second base. He fielded well and covered the sack in an efficient manner and we are glad he has another season with the team. Babe Crites furnished the bulk for the team. He earned his letter at first base where he reached for them high and low and will be on hand a couple of more seasons to serve in this capacity. Mac McConnaughey was a very able substitute in any position. On the mound, he was very promising and being a southpaw, proved very effective against right hand batters. He was no less able at the bat. Pete Ullman had his hands full most of the time trying to keep Jupiter from causing all the games to be cancelled due to the constant mud-holes on Beaver Field. As a manager though, he was always on the job and took the best kind of care of the team. 126 The 1916 Track Season Tracksters wearing the Big Red of Denison had a fairly successful sea- son in 1916. Despite the fact that the squad of airily-clad athletes was unusually small, Coach Livy ' s efficient methods produced a team that was able to compete on even terms with the best in Ohio. Track interest opened with the indoor meet at Ohio University on March 25th, which was the only one of its kind for Denison of the season. The Big Red team lost 66-38, due mainly to the fact that our men were unaccustomed to their track. Denison more than held their own in all events except the dashes on the track, in which Ohio excelled, as we were not used to their bad turns and short straight-way. Chase and Wynne secured the most points for the Big Red, each getting a first and a second. The first outdoor meet of the season was with Otterbein on Beaver - Field. Our able tracksters pranced away with the meet to the tune of ten firsts and seven seconds, making a total score of 771 2 points to Otter- bein ' s 39Vo. Our men took first in all the track events but the visitors were easily superior in field events. Decker, Davies, Weber and Capt. Lyman were the shining lights, all scoring heavily. On the sixth of May the Big Red journeyed to Oxford to contest with Miami, the latter squad winning out finally by the close score of 64-53. The track was soft and off ' ered little chance for us to feature here. We offer no alibi but — if Monk Willis ' s train had not been two hours late and if the baseball team had not played at Delaware that same day — a different tale might be told. However, Thiele in the weights, Decker in the hurdles and Capt. Lyman in the mile and two mile showed especially good form. St. Marys came next and proved easy prey for Livy ' s team on Beaver Field. Nine firsts and seven seconds were alloted to the home team, the final score being in our favor, 71-46. For Denison, Willis was the star point getter with 11 to his credit. Decker was a close second, being one behind, and Seagrave and Weber followed close on his heels. The culmination of the season came when Denison took seventh place in the big field that competed in the Buckeye Classic at Columbus on May 27th. Brock, Decker and Thiele each scored a third place in the finals of the Broad Jump, High Hurdles and Discus respectively. 128 As a leader of the Big Red, Captain Lyman made good. We always relied on him to make his share of the points in every event or meet and he never failed us. Lee was a Senior and his absence in Denison track circles will be keenly felt. Manager Weber took care of the track and also the men when out of town on trips. He had his hands full doing this and still keeping in training, but Pete was there when the points were counted, with always a first in the half mile. Thiele was the weight man and had the necessary push when we needed the points. He was quite inconvenienced by being on the baseball team too, but made good in both. He took a third in the Big Six at Columbus, scoring in the discus. Willis is the champion pole vaulter of the school. It made lit- tle difference to Monk whether he had on a track suit or street clothes, as he seemed to clear the bar just the same. His record is 10 feet, V2 inches, which is going some. This 440 man. Chase, has re- vealed no little class for the past three seasons and is naturally built for his event. Fred was Captain of the team in his Junior year, making a successful leader, and kept up his good work in the 1916 season. 129 Brock, by consistent training and lots of practice, together with his own natural ability became one of the best little broad jumpers in the state last season. He landed third in this event at the Big Six and could always be counted on for a first in our meets. Decker is the best hurdler Den- ison has ever had. He holds two school records, the high and low hurdles, besides holding the javelin throw record. Deck trained and worked hard, holding his own on any track. At the Big Six he got a third in the High Hurdles. When the dashes were run, we had in Davies a little man who made them all sit up and take no- tice. He was awarded his D for his good merit, shining especially in the Otterbein meet, and we are mighty glad he has two more years with the team. Wynne is a natural high jumper and was also to be reckoned with in the hurdles. He works hard and constantly and always has that pep and stick-to-it-iveness which makes a real trackster. We are glad he was only a Soph last year. Seagrave made his points in the hurdles, pole vault and the 440. He worked hard in every meet, always taking his share of the points when the totals we}-e counted and we are glad to say that he has two more years with the team. 130 Varsity Tennis For 1916 WILSON, SCOTT, WILLIS, WEDDELL The 1916 Varsity tennis season was not as successful this year as in the past due mainly to the fact that graduation took three of the four men off the team, Reese, Moore and Roudebush being lost this way. Also Jupiter treated the clay court men very badly, constant rains leaving the courts in such condition that practice was next to impossible. An excellent schedule was arranged, it being the best the team has ever had, and Oapt. Scott proved an able leader. Eight matches in all were scheduled but two had to be called off on account of rain, these being the matches at Wooster and Kenyon. The season opened with the University of Chicago, who kindly consented to come over, prior to their beating O. S. U., and show us how it was done. This they did, taking all three matches in easy style. Ohio Wesleyan came next at Granville and after a hard fight, the play stood a tie, three matches apiece. Capital and Kenyon, in order, appeared on the local court and proved easy for Capt. Scott and Wilson, as they won both matches, taking all six singles and doubles. Playing a four man team, O. W. U. at Delaware, was next and both teams were anxious to break the last tie match in their favor. However, when play was ended, it was found that both were again tied, three matches to three, only with conditions exactly reversed as Scott and Wilson won both their singles and doubles this time while Willis and Weddell had lost both. Wooster at Granville on June 12th was the last contest of the season and they succeeded in taking our measure to the tune of two matches to one. Prospects for next year are exceedingly bright with three veterans back in the game, Scott, Wilson and Weddell all being eligible and plenty of incoming Sophomore material available. Scotty as Captain was always on the job and couid be counted on to win his part of the match every time. He has one more year to serve. Bubby Wilson proved an excellent running-mate for Scotty and was right there when it came to bringing home the bacon. He has two more years to play. Jakey ' Weddell was the third man on the team and was awarded his letter for his consistent work. We are glad he has a couple of years left. Monk Willis not only played on the team but he looked after the managing end too in a very efficient manner. Graduation takes him and we are sorry to lose him. 131 Intra-Mural Sports Under the able tutelage of Livy, intra-mural sports at Denison are coming to mean more and more each year, and as time goes on, more fel- lows are taking advantage of the gym and its splendid work and are trying out for the various class teams. This past year has been an especially successful one along this line and prospects for the future are very bright indeed. BASKETBALL During the winter of 1916, basketball of course, was the big sport and in some instances, as the Fresh-Soph championship games for exam- ple, more interest was shown than in some of the Varsity games. The Inter-class league produced the usual rivalry and tense moments, only pos- sible when Freshman-Sophomore or Junior-Senior classes meet to settle their supremacy. The Sophomores, although defeated early in the season by the Seniors, came back and eventually nosed the fast Freshman team out for first honors after two hard fought games. Of all the Intra-mural athletics it must be admitted that the inter-class basketball league met with the most pronounced success from the standpoint of spectators as well as players. Varsity men were not allowed to play in these games in order to give a larger number of men a chance to participate, which produced the hoped for result. Kappa Sigma won a clear title to the championship in the Inter-fra- ternity league through consistent and very excellent team play. At no time during the season were they guilty of a slump, each game showing an improved style of play over the previous one. In fact each fraternity presented a team which was a credit to the organization and demonstrated conclusively the interest and enthusiasm vested in this league. Because of several unexpected victories and defeats, it was hardly possible to dope out the winners, hence the large attendance and keen rivalry. TRACK While the basketball season was still going on, many were especially interested in track work and each day were practicing faithfully in the gym and training for the inter-class indoor track meet which came the latter part of February. In this, the class of 1916 proved themselves invincible, taking the meet with 46 points to their credit. The Freshmen were next with 24 and the Sophs and Juniors followed with 16 and 12 points respectively. At this time, two records were broken. Chase, ' 16 lowered the 20-yard hurdle record to three seconds and Meredith, ' 19 raised the high jump record to 5 feet 41 2 inches. Weber, ' 17 also tied the 440-yard dash record when he won this event in the fast time of 621 2 seconds. 132 On Tuesday, May 2nd, the Freshman and Sophomore classes were at it again, this time on Beaver Field to settle the track supremacy between the two classes. For the first time, also, the Freshmen proved themselves superior in a contest with the Sophs when they won the meet from 1918 by the exceedingly close score of 64-61. Each team scored eight firsts, the Freshmen excelling in the dashes and the jumps while the Sophomores were superior in the hurdles and the long distance runs. Feight and Mon- tague for 1919 and Baldwin and Seagrave for 1918 were the best in their classes. Field Day, held on Beaver Field on the 20th of May, furnished one of the most spectacular inter-class track meets in the history of the college. Each class had every available man wearing their colors and competition was keen. Befitting their rank, the Seniors took first honors with 57 points, while the Sophomores were close behind with 42. The Freshmen were next with 29 while the Juniors trailed with only 9 points. Four college records were broken, new marks being made in the hun- dred, high and low hurdles and the javelin throw. Decker, the individual star, did the high hurdles in 16 flat, the low hurdles in 26 3-5 seconds and threw the javelin 136 feet 1 2 inch. Feight established the other rec- ord in running the hundred in 10 flat. To Decker of 1918 went the gold medal for being high point winner of the day. Lyman, by the remark- able feat of winning first in the half mile, mile and two mile, won th ' } silver medal for second high point winner, and Feight received the bronze medal for third place. This meet concluded the inter-class track season for 1916. BASEBALL Because of the short season accorded this sport, college baseball can- not receive the attention due it. However, the past season was long enough for the Seniors to nose out the Sophomores for premier honors in the inter-class league and for the Kappa Sigs to follow up their victory in basketball and again win first honors in the fraternity baseball league. Varsity men were eligible in these contests, which made them all the more interesting and while no official fielding or batting averages were shat- tered, it was nip and tuck throughout the whole season in both leagues, and snappy ball was put up by all the teams. SCRAP DAY Not only for the two lower classes, who of course are particularly in- terested, but for the entire college, is this day. Scrap Day, of great import- ance. For once and for all time, these two classes are allowed to mix it up under set rules and close supervision and determine which is supe- rior, the Freshmen or the Sophomores. This year, October 24th was the day set aside for the big event and the whole school turned out to wit- ness the struggle. In the morning was the relay race and the scrap or pole pulling contest, and the afternoon was reserved for the annual Fresh-Soph football game. 133 By nine-thirty in the morning the whole college was assembled on Beaver Field and after the customary yelling and cheers, the relay race was run. Each class had chosen its twenty fastest runners, each to run the full length of the field, and they surely did cover the ground, the Fresh- men finally winning by a scant twelve inches. The pole rush came next but was a very disappointing aff ' air as the Freshmen had such overwhelm- ing numbers that they easily won the event. In the afternoon came the big football game and it certainly came up to all expectations. For three scoreless quarters, the two teams battled fiercely in mid-field and in the last few minutes of play, a long forward pass from Roudebush fell into the waiting arms of Hopkins over the goal line for the only score of the game. Then it was, that the Sophomores fought their hardest and tried to tie the score, but all to no avail, and the game ended 7-0 in favor of the Freshmen. This gave the latter the V ic- tory for the entire day, having won all three events and their celebrations lasted long and were heard far and near. LEADERS CLASS While this is not an intra-mural sport in that sense of the word, yet its great importance and value demands that it be given the recognition due it. This organization met two hours of each week and was com- posed of men who had shown the most progress in the gymnasium classes. The work was carried out along definite lines dictated by Livy which resulted in his having an efficient corps of assistants to aid him in the winter ' s work. Exhibitions of each phase of this work were presented between halves of the basketball games in an entertaining fashion. They proved to be a very excellent drawing card throughout the season and showed the inter- est and hard work that had been manifest in this branch of athletic train- ing. Many important positions as Directors of various lines of athletic work throughout the State have been filled by those who have received training in this department. Leaders Class For 1916-1917 134 SHEPflRDSON ATHLETICS ' —T- ■ I IWlllliiiiii ' iifJllI 135 Miss Annabel Bradstreet Director of Physical Training This year has been one of the most successful, if not the most successful year, in the history of girls athletics at Denison and the reason for this can be truthfully summed up in one name. Miss Bradstreet. To her, the girls look for their inspiration and example and she has proved herself worthy of this trust. She is thorough and has a broad interest in the needs of the girls, and, by taking a personal interest in them, she tries to find a place for each where she is best suited. Thus she has brought the best out of them and has raised the standard of gii ' ls athletics to the place it now holds. 136 Shepardson Athletic Association Officers President Esther Martin Vice President Ruth Palmer Secretary Barbara Tourtellot Freshman Member Beulah Maier Doane Member Josephine DariSow Treasurer Miss Bradstreet The Shepardson Athletic Association was organized in 1909 and has grown and enlarged, as the school has flourished. Now, nearly every member of Shepardson is a member of it. The association has for its object, the promotion of the interest in gymnasium and out-of-door sports as a means of securing the recreation, physical development and health of its members. Needless to say, this object has been and is being real- ized to its fullest extent. 137 Athletics at Shepardson Athletics are becoming more and more a prominent factor in the life of Shepardson and are broadening out to include many more than for- merly. They are, aside from regular classes, Basketball, Tennis, Swim- ming and Indoor Baseball, all of which are supported not only by the girls taking part in them, but by all the girls of the college. • - This year, a normal course has been introduced which aims to prepar-e the members of Shepardson to meet the demands of many states for teach- ers in their public schools who have a knowledge of physical training as it applies to the school children. Public school games and folk dances com- prise the greater part of this course. A class in jesthetic dancing was started last year and proved to be a perfect success with a still larger enrollment this year. This allows the department to step beyond its own limits and join with other organizations to complete such productions as the comic opera, Orpheus, given by the department of music, and also to assist the Masquers in the production of their plays such as A Midsummer Night ' s Dream. 138 Seniors Juniors Preps Sophomores Freshmen 139 Shepardson Basketball For 1916 Class Standing Games Won Lost Pet. Seniors 4 3 1 .750 Sophomores 4 3 1 .750 Freshmen 4 3 1 .750 Juniors 4 1 3 .250 The fall of 1915 brought in a Freshman class with unusual basketball material and this acted as an incentive to all the other teams to work harder, I ' esulting finally in a new interest being taken in basketball and the whole sportsmanship of the girls was raised to a higher standard. The prospects for this year are bright, offering us the hope that another interscholastic game may be played. If this is so, girls ' rules will be adopted instead of playing the usual men ' s rules which have been formerly followed, inasumch as a large number of other colleges are making the same change. Interclass basketball has been given an added incentive for this year through the extreme kindness of Mr. George Stuart, who has offered a very fine trophy cup to the winning team and beyond a doubt, the fight for the honor of gaining this cup for the first time will be very keen. The championship for this past year, in class basketball, remains a tie and is claimed by the three teams. Seniors, Sophomores and Freshmen, all of whom were defeated once during the season. The leaders of the various teams for the past season were as follows : Seniors — Captain, Dorothea Lapp; Manager, Ethel McDanel; Sophomores — Captain, Margaret Hein- richs; Manager, Ruth Palmer; Freshmen — Captain, Barbara Tourtellot; Manager, Louise Cobb; Juniors — Captain, Ruth Wickenden; Manager, Helen Cord. Numerals were given to all the girls playing in three games and an S was presented to each player on the All-Shepardson team, chosen at the end of the season, and made up of the best players for each position, picked from the class teams. For 1916 the All-Shepardson lineup was: Right forward McCutcheon ' 19 Left forward Barker ' 18 Center Brumbach ' 16 Sub-center Heinrichs ' 18 Right guard Wickenden ' 17 Left guard K. Olney ' 16 Manager E. Cathcart ' 18 140 Lenore McCutcheon — Lenore is characterized, on the basketball floor, by her quickness and agility to which is added a goodly quan- tity of real head-wox-k. Juliet Barker — Judy is an all- around athlete and, besides doing her duty at forward, can be de- pended upon to play any other po- sition in an emergency. Alma Brumbach — Brummy, as we all know her, is a fine basket- ball player and it would indeed be hard to find one who could excel her in her position at center. Margaret Heinrichs — Heiny has a good jump and can make those nice long shots too when needed. She cannot only play cen- ter but almost any other position and do it well. Ruth Wickenden — Wickie plays a mighty good game as a running guard and is right there when it comes to teamwork and getting the ball down the floor toward her basket. Katherine Olney — Katy is ex- cellent in close guarding and ren- ders her opponent practically use- less, very few baskets being made off her by any forward at any time. 141 CHAMPION FOR 1916 Swimming Swimming at Shepardson also received its due amount of attention and the season ended with the best averages ever made in the school in this sport. The increase in interest and efficiency during the past year is due to a large extent to the skill of Ruth Wickenden who conducted the classes in swimming. As usual before the season ended a contest was held between the four classes and much interest was shown in this feature. Each class had held elimination tryouts and had chosen their best swimmers to represent them, they being two in number. The events of this contest for the past year were : breast stroke, side stroke, underwater swimming, floating, Austra- lian crawl, swimming-on-back, carrying, plunge, treading water, diving and inter-class relay. The class teams were as follows: 1916 1917 Alma Brumbach Esther Martin Katherine Olney Ruth Wickenden 1918 1919 Juliet Barker Edith Starratt Marjorie Benoy Catherine Pease A new loving cup was presented for swimming and this, Ruth Wick- enden, as champion swimmer, received for the year of 1916. 142 TIED FOR CHAMPIONSHIP FOR 1916 Tennis An active interest was taken in tennis this last year, greater than ever before, and our one court hardly satisfied the great enthusiasm of the players. It is to be hoped that before very many years have passed that Shepardson will be able to boast of enough tennis courts to properly take care of her clay court enthusiasts. After the various classes had con- ducted their tournaments to determine the best player of their class, the champions for the four classes were found to be : Seniors Emma Geis Juniors Helen Cord Sophomores Ruth Eldridge Freshmen Margaret Colwell On account of the copious rainfall of last spring the tournament be- tween the various classes was unfinished and the class champion was unable to be determined. It was narrowed down, however, to the repre- sentatives of the two lower classes and the honor, therefore, is divided between Margaret Colwell and Ruth Eldridge, as these two were the only Ones who remained undefeated. Miss Eldridge, who was the champion for the previous year however, holds the championship according to the rules of the tournament. 143 Carnival Day in 1916 To the spring has been left one of the prettiest events of the year, the Carnival. This has for a long time been an annual custom to which many alumni as well as students look forward. It consisted this year, as in the past, of folk and aesthetic dances and the crowning of the May Queen according to the old Greek manner, this latter being performed on the Athletic field prior to Field Day. To the Queen is given the privilege of awarding the honors to the winners of the various events during the after- noon of Field Day. In addition to this crowning of the Queen, there was, in the Carnival this year, a revival of the old English custom in the portrayal of Robin- hood and Maid Marion and their attendants, and before them the various dances were offered. It was a very beautiful and quaint ceremony with dancing and staging to correspond. Robinhood and his attendants were chosen from among the Senior men of Denison by the votes of the Shep- ardson College girls in the same way that the Queen and her attendants are chosen by the men of Granville College. The characters as represented in this portrayal were: Maid Marion Katherine Olney Attendants Helen Olney, Dorothea Lapp, Alma Brumbach Robinhood Donald Ladd Will Scarlet ' . Gloyd Stankard Jack o ' the Green John Bjelke Little John Earl Marsh Woodland Sjrrite Josephine Darrow Hobby Horse Stanley Cheeseman Jester Fisher Davis Villagers Shepardson Gymnasium Classes The program of the day was as follows: The Crowning of the Queen Pageant March by All Shepardson Dances by the various Classes Crowning of the Queen ' s Favorite Dancers Awarding of Honors by Robinhood Winding of the May-Pole by the Sophomores Song: To Denison 144 Council of Debate and Oratory ToTp Row: A. J. Johnson, Wayland Zwayer, 0. H. Baker Bottom Row: Prof. E. P. Johnston, Prof. B. Spencer, D. B. Atwell FORENSICS IN GRANVILLE AND SHEPARDSON COLLEGES Forensics in Denison are rapidly rising to a much higher plane than ever before and greater interest is being displayed by the student body generally. Under the efficient coaching of Professor Bunyan Spencer, Denison is receiving state-wide recognition on account of her splendid debating teams and is fully able to cope with any school in the state. Last year, four debates were held and three out of the four were won by the capable representatives of Granville College. Shepardson engaged in a triangular league and succeeded in breaking even in the two contests held. The two debating councils are doing much to favor and further this college activity and both have complete charge of all inter-collegiate debate and oratorical work in their respective colleges. Shepardson Debate Council Top Row: Dorothy Atwell, Helen Cord, Grace Johnson, May Graves Bottom Row: Katherine Wood, Ruth Nickel 145 Granville Debate Teams Top Roiv: Wilson, Baker, Ward, Cressey Bottom Row: Atwell, Zwayer, Phillips, Albaugh That debating at Denison is equal to the best in the state is certainly shown by the success in this college activity for the past three years. Nine intei ' -collegiate de- bates have been held and on seven out of the nine occasions, Denison has come home victorious. And out of the twenty-seven judges decisions rendered in these nine con- tests, twenty-one of them have been favorable to Denison representatives. This is surely a record of which to be proud and too much credit for this wonderful success cannot be given to Professor Bunyan Spencer. As debate coach, he ranks beyond a doubt with the best in the state, and largely through his untiring efforts, Denison debating has attained its present high position. This year only one debate for each team could be arranged, a triangular league being formed composed of Denison, Miami and Cincinnati with the affirmative team of each school remaining at home while the negatives in each instance spoke on foreign floors. The proposition for discussion was. Resolved, that the Literacy Test, as incor- porated in the Burnett bill, as finally passed by Congress in 1917, is a wise provision. The Denison affirmative team, captained by E. B. Wilson and ably assisted by 0. H. Baker and F. B. Ward with G. B. Cressey as alternate, met the Miami negative team at Granville on Friday evening, March 23rd. On the same evening, the Denison negative team, captained by D. B. Atwell and further supported by H. L. W. Zwayer and H. C. Phillips with D. M. Albaugh as alternate, journeyed to Cincinnati and there met the affirmative team of that University. To say the debates were a success is indeed expressing it lightly, for the success was really more than anticipated. Both teams won unanimous decisions from their opponents, securing all six judges decisions, and in each instance experienced no serious difficulty in winning. Hard, earnest work brought the desired results and Denison can justly be proud of her teams. 146 Shepardson Debate Teams Top Row: Vashti Jones, Florence Chubbuck, Frieda Rummel, Marjorie Fleming Bottom Row: Margaret Given, Louella Hawkins, Florence Drake, Bernice Holverstatt The Shapardson debating teams experienced so much trouble in securing opponents for this year that at the time of going to press, the time of the debates had not been definitely decided nor the two teams picked as to affirmative and negative sides. Also, the leaving of Miss Flemmg at the end of the first semester for Ohio State, necessitated the securing of an- other for her place, and Miss Flossie Locke was finally chosen. As captains, in Vashti Jones and Margaret Given they had two akble speakers, and the teams were to be arranged from the Misses Florence Chubbuck, Frieda Rummel, Flossie Locke, Louella Hawkins, Florence Drake and Bernice Holverstatt. The proposition used was to be the same as that used by the men ' s teams. Resolved, that the Literacy Test, as incorporated in the Burnett bill, as finally passed by Congress in 1917, is a wise provision, and the con- test was to be a dual affair between Shepardson and Ohio University of Athens. While the time was not definitely decided upon, it was probably to be about the first week in May and the chances for a double victory looked very bright. 147 Emerald B. Wilson J.

This year the club considers itself very fortunate in being able to have with it as soloist and coach, Professor Ralph W. Soule of the Denison Con- servatory of Music. Mr. Soule ' s great musical ability and wide experi- ence with Glee Clubs renders him a valuable asset to the club. The engagements for this year will take the club to such cities as Day- ton, Columbus, Cleveland, Toledo, Middletown, Indianapolis, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and others, and present prospects indicate a very successful season.

The club at present numbers thirty-three girls and, with the exception of the officers, is reorganized each Fall by competitive examination. A concert is always given in Granville in early spring, and since the girls club is permitted to take no extended trips, work other than this is somewhat limited. Although subject to supervision of the Con- servatory faculty, the Glee Club is entirely under student management and direction. Officers Director ' Rachel H. Kendall Secretary M.

During Commencement week they presented The Comedy of Errors under the direction of Prof. E. P. Johnston, and The Man on the Box presented during the winter was one of the biggest dramatic successes ever scored at Denison. The club is planning to give three plays this year, one of which will be offered as a regular number of the Lecture Course. Great interest is being shown in this club and in its three year existence it has not only become one of the most substantial organizations at Denison, but on its own merits, one of the most prominent parts of student activ- ities. Granville Student Government The growth of student government at Denison has been one of the out- standing features of undergraduate Kfe in the last few years. The men of Granville College adopted their present plan, with the Council composed of one representative from each class and the president chosen from the Senior class by all four classes, in 1914. It has been developed in con- junction with the system which the women of Shepardson have worked out until its duties cover a large part of the field of student activities. The maintenance of the honor system is a very important obligation of the Joint Student Councils. Up to the present time the student body of Gran- ville College has not petitioned the Board of Trustees for a formal charter, but this action will probably be taken in the very near future. 159 Shepardson Student Government Each year finds the system of self-government in Shepardson College not only more efficient but more acceptable generally to both the faculty and students. The charter granted by the Trustees of the University gives the students control of their own conduct in so far as it does not concern things which are strictly academic. The necessary rules and pen- alties for such self-government have been carefully worked over and bet- tered in every way from year to year, and the Association aims to promote, by every possible means, a wholesome college life. 160 Y.

The student body is behind it as it has always been, seeking to emulate those ideals of Spirit, Mind and Body for which it stands. The effectiveness of its work may be judged from the fact that during its existence it has ever been a fertile field for Y. M. C. A. workers. Not only in this country but abroad, in such fields as India, Mesopotamia and the isles of the Pacific are to be found men of the Den- ison type who contributed largely to the Y. M. C.

This organi- zation is composed of two men from each fraternity, a Junior and a Senior representative. At the regular meetings of the Council, such matters are discussed and acted upon as directly concern the several fraternities in their relations to one another and which will tend to promote their inter- ests. At frequent intervals, Pan-Hellenic smokers are held at the dif- ferent chapter houses represented and a general good time is enjoyed. An out of town speaker is usually present to speak on some subject of interest to fraternity men. The fraternity situation at Denison is ideal and it is the duty of the Pan-Hellenic Council to foster and promote this spirit. 189 Sigma Chi Founded at Miami University, 1855 Mu Chapter Established at Denison University, 1868 Flower: White Rose Colors: Blue and Gold Fratres in Urbe Fratres in Facultate Dr. J.

Its object is the encouragement and reward of high attainment on the part of students in secondary schools and the means it employs to accomplish this object are similar to those used by the Phi Beta Kappa fraternity. The organization was first called the Alpha Delta Tau frater- nity, but this name has been changed to avoid confusion with the Greek- letter fraternities of an entirely diff ' erent character. The constitution has been amended to open the Society to girls, who were formerly excluded from membership. Officers Presideyit James Macpherson Vice President Leslie H.

The management of all inter-sorority matters is placed with a smaller council. Three rep- resentatives, two from the active chapter and one from the alumnae are elected by the respective sororities as members of this council. This body confers upon all matters of pan-hellenic importance, striving for mutual benefit and cooperation. The three alumnse members are Mrs. Marion Rose Johnson, Mrs. Marguerite McCollum, and Miss Blanche Putnam. 211 Kappa Phi Founded at Denison University, 1898 Flower: Cerise Carnation Colors: Cerise and Blue Sorores in Urbe Marion Rose Johnson Mamie Geach Grace Keepers Darrow Claire Geach Agnes Frazier Eschman Emily Colwell Pearl Ferguson Beverage Ruth McKibben Sorores in Universitate 1917 Margaret Ball Helen Lockhart Alice May George Helen Longsworth Rachel Kendall Ruth Atwell Juliet Barker Dorothy Atwell Gertrude Boesel Julia Bruce Florence Carney Louise Cobb Margaret Colwell Helen Evans Esther Martin Helen Robinson 1918 1919 Marjorie Hamilton Lora Palmer Lois Lockhart Lenore McCutcheon Ann McNaughten Mary McNaughten Helen Myers Barbara Tourtellot Virginia Trumper 212 Kappa Phi Top Roiv : Barbara Tourtellot, Helen Longsworth, Rachel Kendall, Lenore McCutcheon, Helen Myers Second Roiv : Ann McNaughten, Margaret Ball, Esther Martin, Helen Evans Third Row: Alice May George, Helen Lockhart, Dorothy Atwell, Mary McNaughten, Gertrude Boesel Fourth Row: Margaret Colwell, Lois Lockhart, Virginia Trumper, Louise Cobb Fifth Roiv: Florence Carney, Helen Robinson, Ruth Atwell, Julia Bruce Bottom Row: Lora Palmer, Juliet Barker, Mai-jorie Hamilton 213 Chi Psi Delta Colors : Founded at Denison University, 1900 Maroon and Lemon Flowers: Red and Yellow Roses Sorores in Urbe Ray Gilpatrick Dalby Clara Sheldon Abbie Geach Woodbury Mary McKibben Marguerite Jones McCollum Sorores in Uniiwrsitate 1917 Sara Taylor Mary Walsh Ruth Wickenden Katherine Wood Sarah Holmes Vashti Jones Mary McDonald Evelyn Cathcart Genevieve Cathcart Ethel Collett Ina Doyle Madeline Edgerly Gertrude Gibbons Louella Hawkins Frances McGee 1918 Ruth Eldridge Mary Elizabeth Fuller Margaret Heinrichs Pauline Ireland 1919 Mary Martin Helen Ray Margaret Sedgwick Ruth Sedgwick Ruth Tipton 214 Chi Psi Delta Top Row: Frances McGee, Mary Martin, Ina Doyle, Evelyn Cathcart, Katherine Wood Second Row: Madeline Edgerly, Ruth Tipton, Ethel Collett, Mary McDonald Third Row: Louella Hawkins, Helen Ray, Pauline Ireland, Ruth Wickenden, Gertrude Gibbons Fourth Row: Margaret Heinrichs, Genevieve Cathcart, Mary Walsh, Sarah Holmes Fifth Roiv: Vashti Jones, Sara Taylor Bottom Row: Mai-garet Sedgwick, Ruth Sedgwick, Mary Elizabeth Fuller, Ruth Eldridge 215 • Sigrna Delta Phi Colors : Founded at Denison University, 1905 Old Rose and Pink Flower: Chatney Rose Rachel Jones Fern Ashbrook Sorores in Urbe Blanche Putnam Elizabeth Jones Blonda Watt Coons Sorores in Universitate 1917 Mary Anderson Mary Belle McLain Grace Jefferson Flossie Locke Helen Melby Lucille Bumgardner Helen Clephane Melva Daub Bernice Jackson Ruth Mills Marie Tilbe Lois Wood 1918 Amy Montgomery Lucile Pence Edna Shumaker Lucile Tilbe 1919 Dorothy Montgomery Edna Pine Laura Sellers Kathleen Wellwood Margaret Wood 216 Sigma Delta Phi Toj) Row: Mary Belle McLain, Bernice Jackson, Laura Sellers, Marie Tilbe Second Row: Lucille Bumgardner, Edna Pine, Mary Anderson Third Row: Margaret Wood, Melva Daub, Lois Wood, Ruth Mills Fourth Roiv : Helen Clephane, Kathleen Wellwood, Edna Shumaker Fifth Row: Helen Melby, Dorothy Montgomery, Flossie Locke, Lucille Pence Bottoyn Row: Amy Montgomery, Grace Jefferson, Lucille Tilbe 217 Delta Omicron (Music) Delta Chapter Established at Denison University, 1915 Colors: Old Rose and Silver Flower: Lily-of-the- Valley Sorores in Urbe Marion Rose Johnson Ruth Rockwood Imogene Hamblen Eva Wright Allieret Chrysler Morrow Sorores in Universitate 1917 1918 Jessie Burns Ruby Barnes Laura Johnson Genevieve Cathcart Vashti Jones Ruth Eldridge 1919 Madeline Edgerly Lois Lockhart Bernice Jackson Helen Ray 218 Delta Omicron Top Row: Bernice Jackson, Ruth Eldridge, Genevieve Cathcart Second Row: Ruby Barnes, Madeline Edgerly, Laura Johnson, Lois Lockhart Third Roiv: Vashti Jones, Helen Ray Bottom Row: Jessie Burns 219 View of Raccoon Creek Taken From Columbus Bridge 220 221 The Past and Future of Doane Doane Academy was established in 1831 as a preparatory department of the Granville Literary and Theological Institution, which became in 1854, Denison University. In 1887 this department became separate from the other departments of the Institute under the name of Granville Acad- emy. Later Dr. Howard Doane became greatly interested in the Academy and endowed it with the splendid building which is now Doane Academy building. In recognition of this excellent gift, the Board of Trustees, in 1895, changed the name to Doane Academy. The record, which Doane has deeply engraved on the walls of time, is one not to be forgotten. She has nobly played her part in building up the University. Many of the best students, intellectually and morally, as well as many of Denison ' s best athletes, point with pride to Doane as their prep school. In literary and athletic ability, Doane surpasses most secondary schools. She seems to excel in football, turning out several championship teams in (he past few years. In basketball, track and baseball she honorably holds her place. Her literary societies are of first class caliber and the annual Cicero-Irving contest is one of the big features of the school year at Den- ison, arousing intense enthusiasm in every class from freshman prep to the senior class in college. Besides the opportunities she affords for students to develop mentally and physically, she has many worthy honors for the earnest and deserving. It is the purpose of this academy, not only to teach and develop the intellect of her students, but to widen their vision of an earnest life, and to help them build nobler characters. We look forward with great interest ' to the further independence of Doane, with her buildings and campus entirely separate from all the other departments of the University. She has now one of the largest endowments of any preparatory school in the Middle West, and in equipment she is unexcelled. We, the students of Doane, are intensely interested in her future and heartily lend a hand in promoting her interests. Our aim is to make Doane Academy the greatest and best preparatory school in the West. Watch us grow! 22 Jo?. Ashbrook Miss Darrow Miss McCune Haggard Senior Class Officers President M. FORREST ASHBROOK Vice President GRACE E. McCuNE Secretary S. JOSEPHINE Darrow Treasurer Harold W. Haggard Historian Bertha M. Planson 224 Senior Class History The class of 1917, as a whole, seems to have entered old Doane not only for what it could get out of it, but also for what it could put into it. Irving, Cicero and Adelphian owe much of their energy to us. For four years we have been ably represented in the Cicero-Irving contest, and five of the men of seventeen have played on the football team. Although about one-fourth of the class have not spent the entire four years of preparatory schooling at Doane, the class shows Doane pep, and besides, a large number have reached out and thrown themselves with all their might into social and religious activities outside of their school life. In our Junior year we realized that we must take on the form of an organization and we elected our officers and chose blue and grey as our colors. We entertained the Seniors at a breakfast at Old Town Spring when the weather seemed to sympathize with our care-free happiness by sending strong playful gusts of wind and little showers to send us scur- rying into shelter. In this, our last year at old Doane, we have been greatly pleased to see the increase in the total number of students. Although we are glad — very glad — for this increase of new life for Doane, it suggests the wistful thought and longing, that we may have so lived our student lives here that we may not be entirely forgotten even though there are so many to take our places. Lives of great men all remind us, We can make our lives sublime ; And, departing, leave behind us Foot-prints in the sands of time. Let us then be up and doing With a heart for any fate. Still achieving, still pursuing. Learn to labor and to wait. 225 Doane Seniors Top Row: J. J. Holcomb, W. D. Hetherington, H. G. Hopkins, K. E. Reighard, F. D. Swigart, C. H. Biefeld, J. S.

However, Doane, as well as all other schools, cannot produce a championship team every year. We do not look back over the past season with dissatisfaction as to the players, for we feel that each one did his best. In fighting against great odds, we were many times tempted to break our ideal of good sportsmanship, yet we still retained it. Although we lacked weight and many of our players were new recruits in the foot- ball world, each one showed that never-ending fighting spirit which is so characteristic of Doane. We feel that Captain Gleiss deserves much praise for the efficient way he held the team together until the close of the season, even against what would be to some, unsurmountable obstacles and difficulties. He was the real pepper-box of the team, always at his best and many times leading his small squad against a powerful foe. In mentioning the other especial honors, we feel that the names of Stockdale, Klein, Hetherington and Lonsdale should not be forgotten. Our defeats this season have only aroused within us that famous spirit, Doane pep, making us determined to more than make up next year for what we lost this past season. The basketball team, although short-lived, played several real snappy class ganies as well as a few with other secondary schools. Before we lost our captain, McCollum, we were able to attack almost any other school of our rank, but because of our trouble in securing games, we had to be satisfied with what we played. Next year we are expecting not only games but a cracker-jack team, so we are going to make it one of the best seasons Doane has ever had. At the opening of our last baseball season when the call was given for baseball candidates, we were surprised to find that it was answered by all but two of our 1915 team. The team labored under several difficulties, and because of the trouble in scheduling games, it did not have a chance to show its real ability. We played but three games during the entire season and, without much exertion, won all three. Tommy McMahon was our captain and also performed on the mound. This was his second consecutive season as captain, and during these two years he has surely showed his ability as a star player and a leader. We were sorry to lose so many of our best diamond stars by graduation last June, but we believe there are greater honors awaiting them in an athletic world higher up, and we hope that when they are distinguished among their fellow-students, they will not forget their days in Doane. 229 1916 Doane Football Team Top Row: Coach Fish, F.

Several days before Spring vacation, the main topic of the conversation is — Who is going to win the contest? Colors of the respective societies are worn by the members and their friends a few days before the eventful time, and everyone is lined up on one side or the other. On the night of the contest, Recital Hall is literally packed with loyal and enthusiastic sympathizers. After much yelling and singing from both sides of the hall, the big contest is on. The debate is close. Opinions differ as to the victor. The Cicero orator is at his best, while the Irving representative delivers his oration in a remarkable manner. Both essays are good. One, perhaps, excels in thought, the other in delivery. The victory now hinges upon the declamation and here again each speaker is par excellence. While the judges are rendering their decisions, some ven- ture to say, Cicero has it, others, No, Irving has won. At length the suspense is relieved by the announcement of the final decision. The hall then rings with the cheers of the victors and the winning team leaves the hall on the shoulders of their fellow constituents. Both societies and their followers return to their respective halls, the one to celebrate the vic- tory and the other to renew their determinaion to win the next year. This contest is important, for it not only furnishes the stimuli for real literary spirit, but also greatly furthers the general spirit of the entire academy. Each society endeavors to surpass the other in every possible way and the keenest rivalry prevails throughout the entire year. Members of both are constantly on the alert during the summer to secure new members for the academy and their literary society. Each strives to out-strip the other in the quality and number of new men, to secure the larger representation on the various athletic teams, to surpass the other in scholarship, to present the most attractive extras, to hold the most interesting meetings during the week, to publish the most artistic bul- letins, to be most congenial, and to give the most elaborate banquets. Surely the Cicero-Irving contest is a potent factor in the life of the Academy. 232 Cicero Literary Society Top Row: W. H. Leslie, C. L. Klein, A. D. Bostwick, K. Ricketts, C. H. Biefeld, R. B.

Pomeroy, A. E. Cowley, E. L. Lamb The Ciceronian Literary Society was founded in 1860 by a group of Doane Academy students for the purpose of encouraging Academy students in the literary activities, in the refinement of their manners and the dis- cipline of their minds. Since its founding, Cicero has never failed nor ceased to carry out this purpose, and with its motto, Know Thyself, endeavors to help its members find out and develop those latent powers. About twenty-five young men at present compose the membership of the society and are nobly carrying on its never-dying spirit, known as the Cicero spirit, which has been kept alive year after year even though its membership is constantly changing. 233 Irving Literary Society Top Row: J.

Swigart On the sixteenth of March, 1883, the Irving Literary Society was organ- ized. Since that time she has achieved a record of which her members may well be proud. Fourteen of the twenty-three annual contests with her rival, Cicero, are to her credit. To bring out and develop the latent possibilities of her members, to train them in literary and parliamentary work — these have ever been Irving ' s great ideal. Of but little less mo- ment has been that purpose signified by her motto, EI2 E2MEX. The fostering of social life and the forming of pleasant and helpful friend- ships have meant much to all who have received the Irving grip. 234 Adelphian Literary Society Top Row: Margaret Griffin, Lela Orr, Grace McCune, Marguerite Mar- shall, Hazel Epley, Gladys Ackerman Bottom Row: Dorotha Wilson, Eva Kennedy, Frances Ray, Bertha Plan- son, Josephine Darrow, Louise Conant, Dixie Burns The Adelphian Literary Society was organized in January, 1909, at the suggestion of Dean Barker. The charter members were : Fern Ashbroqk, Alma Brumbach, Maude Cochran, Emily Spencer Deer, Fay McKinney Weber, Alice Warner Cutler, Helen Wolcott and Ruth Deardorff. In May, 1910, the first open meeting was held and since then, Adelphian has grown rapidly. The purpose of the society is to promote literary culture and social intercourse and to instruct in the common rules of order adopted by all regularly organized bodies. 285 Doanantics Believe us, gentle reader, our ex-clasrimate had it right when he remarked, Being a joke editor is no joke- — it ' s a darn shame, particularly when the point of the story is bent double and the humor has lost its tune. It is therefore with great trepidation that we offer these odd bits of pifflous perseflage rendered by illustrious members of Doane Academy. I was greatly surprised some time ago to discover a huge pair of long trousers walking nonchalantly along, apparently without any visible means of locomotion. How comes this strange phenomena, thought I, I must needs investigate. But a moment later all fears were set at rest, for from the interior of the object in question a shrill voice piped: Gee, it ' s great to be a man. — Chambers was paying off an election bet and that was why his father couldn ' t go to work that morning. Professor Shumaker has a new prescription for inaudible recitations — Go up on Sugar Loaf and yell your recitations to someone down in Racoon Creek. Gi ' eat idea, but supposing there were bees on the hill and the water was wet, what then? Have you heard that little song rendered by Atha, Rees, Gleiss and Socash? It is entitled, Gi ' ow a ' Charlie Chaplin ' and your lip won ' t freeze. Not long since ■ ' Hoiman was giving the principal parts of the German verb, geben. Quoth he, ' Geben, garb-er-er-er-ist gabonner. Cheer up, Hoimy, there are others. As for instance. Miss Cord — Mr. Beclc, please describe a man — using expository expres- sions. Mr. Beck — You mean so we can tell a man from any other beast? In English IV someone said he thought the Anglo-Saxons had no respect for women, for the latter were compelled to do all the work. Mr. Shumaker said he thought the ladies might be thoroughly respected and still do all the work. We extend our most heart-felt sympathy towards Mrs. Shumaker. Prof. Street to Miss Darrow — When is a radical in its simplest form? Trot— When it can ' t be reduced to a simpler form. ?????Why not? In Geometry class, Weber was asked, How far can the line AB go? Weber replied that it could go to L. Upon which answer. Prof. Strtet hastily explained that it could go to the point L. There was a young fellow named Stahl, Who roomed in old Talbot Hall, He went for a skate And returned very late. And that was poor Tommy ' s downfall. Things We Can ' t Imagine Atha and Broogie in knee breeches. Cowley without a book under his arm. Bill Hetherington making Alpha Delta Tau, or failing to make an Academy athletic team. Socash with a haircut or a blond mustache. Holcomb or Pomeroy ever doing any Algebra. Claude Haswell getting het up and putting Livy on his back. Wanted Pupils with some evidences of brains — Doane Academy Faculty. A brilliant Latin translation — Professors Tilbe and Shumaker. One glorious victory for the Doane Football team this season — Professor Fish — also Hoiman. Editor of this column — Let ' s turn over a new page, I ' m bored to death. Reader of the same — You said something, bo, so am I. 236 THE Kollege Kampus KALENDAR Konsisting and Kontaining a Kaustic Kolumn of Klever Kuts and Kronological Knocks on Klassy-Kids, Krammers, Ko-eds and Kupid-Krazed Kreatures m u [)iiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiimic Kollected and Kompiled with Konsiderable Kare by a Kommittee of Kranks, Krabbers and Kronic-Kickers 237 March Wednesday, 1st — New slave gang assumes its dreary toil and per- ceives the frail form of Ebby T. hid behind the home sheet, quailing before the stern chapel eye of Dick.

Wednesday, 28th— WE THANK YOU ! ! ! 250 Dedication To all the Nutts in College, who by their inexhaustible strenuosities, have made this section possible; and to each and every one of those nar- row-minded souls whose friendship we lose by this volume, we reveren- tially dedicate this section. Forward Once, a long, long time ago when the Sigs and Betas put out the Ady- tum, they couldn ' t afford to lose what few friends they did have, so never included a Feature Section. Passing years convinced the school of the inability of fraternities to do justice to the ludicrity of this life, thereby depriving the Sigs and Betas of their annual graft. The Senior class was given the task but their hold on life was not by its funny bone, so in time the duty became the yearly nightmare of the Junior class. Heretofore, other classes have insisted upon saving the lives of their Joke Committees, by limiting this section to siiiall spaces hidden among heterogeneous advertising. This year the class politician, who became editor of the Adytum, in order to insure future greatness for himself, insists that the five Nutts whom he appointed as his Feature Committee, do their best to create as many life enemies as possible by lifting aloft the ludicrous things we see, and using our imaginations concerning our friends. If you or your friends see anything funny herein, for heaven ' s sake don ' l tell us; we couldn ' t appreciate such transcendent genius, but if you and yours are hit by the Arrow shot in the Air, don ' t neglect to kick and buck and knock. We expect it. Be sports. Be off of us forever. Look the other way when you pass us in the street. We ' ll do the same. Get a real grouch and then sit on it. There ' s room for us all on this train anyway. All aboard. Don ' t stand in the Vestibule while the Car is in Motion. 252 k Vf y Vet others undui bh)tit Crih s I huilt bkt a.

What can I do to induce her?— Dorm. Try leaving her alone for a while. Absence makes the heart grow fonder — for tittle Johnny-on-the-spot — and distance lends enchantment. Dear Miss Fairfax: I am only 18 but love a girl very dearly. She has accepted me but won ' t agree to get married soon. What shall I do, as I can ' t live without her? — Bucky C. Appear indiiferent for a while and she may think you don ' t care. Aren ' t you a little young to think about such things? Dear Miss Fairfax: I have been told that I am very good looking and really have very attractive eyes. I like three girls very much but can ' t make a definite decision. All have dark hair and lovely dimples. — Anxiously, Red W. The best thing for you to do is to move to Utah. Make your eyes behave and the girls won ' t be crazy about you. For shame ! ! ! Dear Miss Fairfax: There ' s a girl here that I like very much but it don ' t seem to be mutual. Am tall, dark, stylish and have been here for four years but can ' t graduate for the next ten. Shall I propose anyway? — Sherb. Your case is a hard one. Try Rough on Rats and as a last resort take chloroform. You must be inclined to be frivolous or you could get your lessons. Take the Interna- tional Correspondence School course for the next six weeks on Proposals before you try it. Dear Miss Fairfax: I have been told that I am an attractive young man, can sing a fine tenor, am amusing and can show a girl a good time, but can ' t seem to get a girl. What shall I do?— Skinny C. Maybe you are too amusing. Girls like to be serious on ce in a while. If you can sing well, try singing to them. No doubt but that you will get results. Dear Madam: I am a Junior, good looking, elected Captain of next year ' s football team, also on the basketball team and am crazy about a girl. These activities take so much of my time that I see but little of Her, which often causes a misunderstanding. How can I show her I care. — Anxious to please. Try writing a note every day. Girls really appreciate them and they show con- stant thought and true love and take little time. Dear Betty: Am engaged to a young man but he is so timid and bashful that he will hardly show his affection. I live in Newark and so see him often. How shall I teach him better. — Mary Belle. Am sorry for the little fellow but would suggest that you find out whether he is sorry about his bargain or loves another girl. Lead the way in the affection line and he will follow. Dear Miss Fairfax: I am of a very social disposition but can ' t find a girl of the right style for me. Your advice would be gi-eatly appreciated. — Shorney. My only advice in a case like yours would be that you either change your attitude or school. Maybe the girls would like to know you. Dear Miss Betty: I have been going with a young lady friend at home whom my Mamma approves of, so don ' t enjoy going with girls here at school. I think they really would like to go with me as I am quite a man. Do you think I could prove entertaining with my interests elsewhere? — Timothy Earl C rites. I think you should at least be a big enough man to overcome such things and do what you set out to do. Don ' t necessarily pick out any one girl but send them all candy and flowers and take them around. 257 We have at last caught Torry with the goods. Like our Editor, you see our Manager can successfully manage some things besides Adytums. Dear Mr. Editor: I am discouraged. I can never get a date. The girls don ' t like me. Please see if you can ' t do something for me. I am not bad looking and all I need is a start. Hopefully, Clark P. Kelley. To the Public Au Large : How is this for a start? We got Kel- ley a date with the President of the Stu- dent Government and gave him good ad- vice. It had such good effect that even that cold personage, Judy, was charmed by his advances and you see the two dames vying for a place on Kelley ' s broad and manly shoulder. If in doubt, ask us. Kindly yours. Editor. — Darwin dear, why don ' t you look at me? — Do you really want me to, Ruthie? I ' m watching the Feature photographer. — It ' ll make a much more attractive picture if you ' ll only look at me though. — Yes dear, I know, but to get this put in this section costs me $5.00 and I ' ve got to see that I get my money ' s worth. When Tom asked us to put this picture in the book, as he wanted the Seni to know that he wasn ' t really slow with the ladies, we consented, (after much hesi- tation upon seeing the picture) . But who would ever suspect Tom Cook of this? We blush for you, gentle reader. 258 When The Faculty Played Lineup Scientists Classicists Carney Ted Johnson ....

Those who witnessed the exciting contest between the Scientists and Classicists of the Faculty will long remember the day as one of great excitement, featured by many heart-rending moments. It was an ideal Indian Summer ' s Day in November. The bleachers were filled with eager and expectant throngs. On the south side were arrayed hosts of the supporters of the believers in Science. There were young wives, stately matrons, childrens and infants in arms, everyone excitedly waving their banners and occasionally roaring out yells under the efficient leadership of Mrs. Wiley and Mrs. Biefeld. From time to time they would burst into that patriotic melody, He may be old, but he ' s got young ideas, being conducted by Mrs. Eschman. To the North there was a throng of different composition. The Classicists had lined up their rooters in orderly arrangement and could easily be distinguished from the rest by an emblem bearing the inscription, In Onion there is Strength. Their yells were from Shake- speare, and their songs were in French, Latin and German; all under the able direction of Mrs. Odebrecht. ' ' The two teams appeared on the field at a quarter of two. Silence reigned supreme, except for the musical tone of Quarterback Eschman and the loud blurts of Quarterback Chamberlain calling signals. Captains Biefeld and Williams met in the middle of the field and shook hands. On the toss of Kibby ' s cane by Referee Daddy Biggs, Willie won and decided to kick off. Capt. Williams took his tape measure out of his pocket and after carefully inspecting his team, chose Dick Colwell to kick oflf because he had the largest feet. The confidence was not misplaced for he sent the oval flying far back into the waiting arms of the musical shark. Eschman made a good run, but he got out of tune and was soon tackled in the rear by Goodell who had sneaked up behind him. Coons went around Odebrecht for about five yards before he was nabbed. Livy tried thru center but Kibby got out an injunction and stopped him. The next play was a line plunge by Biefeld, the result being that he got caught in Goody ' s mustache and was thrown for a loss by that criterion of Economics. After failing to make first down, Livy was forced to punt. Dutch Chamberlain received the ball and returned it twenty-eight yards by zigzagging thru the line, till Biefeld, the plunging fullback for the Scientists, hit him amidships and caused a great commotion. He then sat on him to keep from getting his own clothes dirty. Play seesawed back and forth, neither side gaining much ground this quarter, which ended 0-0. 259 The next quarter brought into prominence Williams, the man who made the end around end play famous. He made a brilliant 40-yard run on the first play that made the spectators ' hair stand on end. Kibby made six yards around end arid Lewis three thru tackle. With only one yard to go, a touchdown would surely have resulted, had not Johnny tripped Doc Carney, thereby causing what might have been something ungentlemanly, but Prexy intervened by saying, Men of Denison, you know not what you do. A million dollars is lost to the college. Nevertheless the Classicists were penalized 15 yards and lost their opportunity. The half ended with the score nothing to nothing. Excitement was now extreme and yells and cheers resounded. The Ladies ' Mutual Aid Society presented flowers and lemonade to all. The presentation speeches were made by Lily B. Sefton, who, in her sweetly modulated voice, discoursed shortly on the merits of each hero. Everybody was deeply impressed and Dr. McKibben so far forgot himself in his emotion that he cracked a smile, thereby rendering himself hors de combat for the rest of the day. Bunny Spencer went in at Latourette ' s place the second half, as our friend from old Eli was about all in. Eschman kicked off , and after several plays Livy and Coony had brought the ball to the Classicists ' 26-yard line. Then came the thrilling moment. The Flying Dutchman went thru center for a touchdown — but alas! Umpire Pratt caught Stickney slugging Goodell and kicking Dick Colwell and penalized the Classicists 50 yards. The game almost stopped here, but after much squabbling, Kibby finally consented to let it go, but swore he would get Stickney after the game. Forced to punt, Livy kicked to Kibby who made a nice catch, but was thrown back after he had stopped to bow in recognition of the applause. In the play, Capt. Biefeld had his face stepped on, but got up smiling, having discovered 29 new suns and four new stars. Also Fish suffered a fracture of his 3B and had to retire tem- porarily to borrow a stogie. The quarter ended with the ball in possession of the Scientists. Score still 0-0. The last quarter was full of thrills from beginning to end. It was started by Livy pulling off a sensational 40-yard run, stopping only when he tripped on Dick Colwell ' s line of conversation. Kibby called time out, as he had lost his chew when he missed the tackle. Biefeld fumbled the ball and Colwell fell on, bursting it, and they had to wait till Kibby could ride up town on his velocipede and secure another. Here Cooney, who by this time was adding a blue tint to the atmosphere, had to be removed to a more secluded spot and Tilbe took his place. On the first play Lewis executed one of those beautiful passes for which he is becoming famous, especially among the upper classmen. On the Scientists 20-yard line, Kibby dropped back for a drop-kick, but Goody couldn ' t see thru his mustache and made a bad pass. Biefeld got the ball and went dashing on and on for a touchdown, but he outstripped his wind on the 20-yard line and Sidewheel Johnny jumped on him with all fours. There was only one minute of play. Kibby got back of the goal line to punt out. Signals were called and the ball was passed to the Professeur and he started to punt it, but saw some rough play between the two centers and lost the game by stopping to say, Desist Gentlemen. A second later he was tackled by Biefeld and a touchback was registered against the Classicists. The whistle blew and all was over. Final score, Scientists 2, Classicists 0. There was great rejoicing in the camp of the Scientists that night, and some tales have been told, that we wouldn ' t dare tell about the celebration after the game by both teams. It may be said, however, that the nightshirt parade would have been a huge success, had not Ted Johnson fallen on the icy pavement and fractured his slide rule. 260 The Denison 27 Club Carp Chapter- Being the local Aquarium of the Amalgamated Union of All-American Fish.

Through the kindness of Mr. Baird we offer it to you before he himself has officially published it. All the mis-information on fraterni- ties and fraternity people will be found below. — Editor.) Sigma Chi Meaning — Stewed Continually. Founded — In a backroom of Morlein ' s in Cincinnati. (Note — Morlein is the guy that makes Barbarossa ) . Situation — Damp. ! Motto — In politics there is strength, to say nothing of Dutch Frasch. Colors — The Gold in their colors signifies their intention of ever remaining in their present situation. The fraternity badge is in the form of a cross, signifying the cross feeling a Fresh- man has when he finds that he has been double-crossed into crossing that horrible Rubicon. Jelly Athey still preserves a state of equanimity among these dear boys, although he never did complete his original intention of turning it into a musical club. We ' re sorry George McConnaughey has another year in which to counteract all of ■Jelly ' s influence. George became quite angry the other day when Roudebush claim ' d that one of the Brewers in Cincinnati was a Beta. Mac knew better. The Sigma Chi ' s anthem starts like this — There are no Sigs in ; but whoever believed a Sig? Not us, not you, nor they. Beta Theta Pi Meanings — Believe They ' re Pretty; Better Try Plowing; Bums, Thugs, Paupers; Better Take Poison. (The Comm. had a disagreement on the most appropriate but finally decided that next to using them all, the third was the most appropriate.) Founded — In the Chi Psi kitchen in the midst of a taffy-pulling contest. Number of Chapters — Male 2. Female 80. (Note — The two Male chapters are Alpha Alpha at Vassar and Ome ga Omega at Wellesley.) Number of Members— 20 1-3. The 20 being ChaflTee (His statistics) and the 1-3 being Sark Mith (Our statistics). Condition — Pitiful-lOth. (And believe me, we ' re optimists.) Flower — The Mourning Glory. The zealous care with which the Beta ' s guard their only treasure — Woglin — that dainty piece of canine exasperation — is only equaled by their quickness to take off ' ense when he is picked on by an outsider. Tremble, Sherburne, Tremble!!! Just think of 27 Beta ' s headed by Pete Weber giving pitched battle vith the Sigma Chi ' s in front of the Phi Gam house, all in honor of Woglin. Baird would soon need to write a new Manual and the Betas a new song, thusly — Oh Woglin ' s Band, take sword in hand We are, we are, we are, all Betas — Betas, We love our Pup, we ' ve raised him up To be, to be, to be, a Beta — Beta; For him we ' ll fight, by day or night. Because he is, he is, he is, a Beta — Beta. Chorus sung by Woglin : I was urged on by Sherb into thinking I was big, I fought with that dog that belongs to Kappa Sig, Pete vowed he ' d die or else whip every Sigma Chi For dear old Beta Theta Pi. Phi Gamma Delta Meaning — Pretty Good Dogs. Founded at Wilberforce between Halves of a game of Old Maid. Number of Chapters — One too many. (The one here.) Number of Fratres in Facultate — 45. (Note: They need them.) Flower — A Bunch of Mistletoe with the inscription, Draw Me Nearer, Dearie. Situation — According to them — None Better. According to everybody else — None Worse. This fraternity is a good ' ole bunch of guys gathered together in their wide- spreading English Bungalow for the purpose of doing everybody who don ' t do them. So far no casualties have been reported on everybody ' s side. They almost lost their mainstay this year when Sid Collier tried to impose himself on Western Reserve, but Reserve reserves their medical department for students, thus that good ' ole game of Hundred and one, a Hundred and two, has not passed from our midst. We congrat- ulate Western Reserve on their foresight. 262 Kappa Sigma Meaning — Krapp Shooters. (Of course everyone knows that there are other things that Kappa Sigma means, for instance — Kinda Sick. But this doesn ' t tell the whole truth, for they are in reality Vera Sick, in fact the sickest of which we know. But due to the delicacy of the Feature Committee and the Editor of the Adytum, we must leave these other meanings out.) Number of Chapters — One of the Kappa Sigs, figured it out by Calculus, but he lost the ream of paper containing the statistics and calculations and now we are as ignorant as ever. Number of Members — We got their number when they took Van Beach and Bubby Wilson in. Situation — Very Precarious. Colors — Most of the Rainbow. This fraternity has its bad points and its good points as well. Some of its bad points are Smoke Reynolds and Deke Edwards, not mentioning Dick Clary. Its good point is Kap, their BULL-dog. Without this BULL-dog, Kappa Sigma would indeed be unworthy of the great name which John Martin and Buck Ladd have dragged it down to. The only competitive line in which the Kappa Sigs indulge, is in mataching this knock-kneed cur against the Beta hound. They have as their motto — When Kap can ' t lick Wog, bring on the Jolly Little Crescent and the Star. The secret meaning of this is, (but don ' t tell the Betas), that the Crescent is a scimitar to behead the dog and the Star is for his Heavenly Crown. Phi Delta Theta Meaning — Pretty Darn Tough. (At least that much.) Founded — In the interests of the overcrowded conditions of our prisons, orphan asylums, infirmaries, old ladies homes and bug-houses. Number pf Chapters — Dispute not yet over. Question referred to The Hague. See last Peace Bulletin issued by Chandler and Buker. Number of Members — in Spirit — One (Charlie Harmon). Number of Members — in Embarrassment — Entire Chapter. Number of Members — in Anticipation — Two (See Tichnor and Zwayer). Situation — Beyond redemption. Hopeless as far as Billy Sunday is concerned. Flower — Last year ' s Mullein-stock. (Last seen waving over Charlie Harmon ' s grave. ) The chain on their badge signifies the future occupation of all members — stone quarry chain gangs. When Chandler moved away from the house, the chapter felt in need of another BULL-dog besides Happy Currin, so Rosey stole that three months old giraffe that they now have and all are again happy. We wish to extend our sym- pathies to Yip Owen, who couldn ' t help being a Phi Delt. Meredith fell on his foot (on purpose), and then Buker stepped on it (on purpose also), an3 the poor kid couldn ' t get away fi ' om them, so had to be pledged. They tried this with Charlie Harmon, but — you know how he fooled them. 263 THE GLEE CLUB CONCERT (As It Might Have Was) Personal First Tremor de la Skyscraper primo Dutch Frasch Second Tremor a la Wheeze Deke Edwards Barrel Tone (with variations) Babe Crites First Basso Prof undo Disgusto Mark Smith Second Basso Guaranto Somnamhulo Ebbie Thresher Reader , Babe Brock Accompayiist Herb Buker Quartet Messrs.

It has been a real pleasure to serve the class of 1918 and endeavor to fur- ther the interests of Denison in this small way. In the accomplishment of this work, the editors have become greatly indebted to many people for their services rendered and wish to take this opportunity to express their sincere and lasting appreciation of that aid. We realize only too well that mere thanks are but a small return for the time, thought, and energy which have been expended ; but not to give thanks at least, would indeed be ungrateful. First of all, we feel that thanks are due the Staff, who have worked long and faithfully, although it has meant much sacrifice to give this time in addition to carrying out the regular college courses. Especially are we grateful to our Art Editor, 0. L. Atchley, for his cheerful and uncom- plaining work. In the Calendar section we are indebted to H. Gordon Faries, of the class of 1920, for the many fine illustrations, and his eff ' orts are much appreciated. We feel, however, that whatever success our Alumni Edition may attain, must be attributed largely to the assistance of our Engravers, the Bureau of Engraving of Minneapolis, and our Printers, the Champlin Press of Columbus; and Mr. J. J. Sher and Mr. S. U. Robinson of these two companies in particular. Their numerous suggestions and ideas, many of which we have incorporated, have lightened our burden greatly. The patience of Mr. Frank of the White Studio, New York, in the taking of all the pictures, and the prompt and kind attention of Mr. White himself, in turning out our finished proofs for all individuals and groups, is of too great value to be overlooked. There are many others to whom we owe thanks, but space will not per- mit the mention of all, so we again express our deep appreciation to all, who have in any way, helped to make this publication possible. We have tried to introduce some new features, add attractiveness, and instill the old Denison pep in the book, that all may be pleased. Of our honest endeavors, we are justly proud, and while the work has been long and hard, and many have been our sacrifices of time and pleasure, we feel that it has been eminently worth while. 280 vMprercvdiCXj GDrxvrxve Kds A■i■■l•e • io !
