The first president, John Pratt, who was also the faculty and administration combined, was a grad- I Denison ' s „ • u i, - • ' Beginnings Brown university. He was preaching in Connecticut when he was called to take charge , i , of the new Baptist college at Granville. ' !: ' His first class, consisting of three boys, was seated on benches ,4| j made of rough slabs obtained at the sawmill. The faculty was L JHH increased to three professors by the addition of George Cole, also K MMm Brown, and Paschal Carter, from Vermont. mmJmm KM when the College, soon after its founding, removed to the ■f mi™ college farm — now the site of a fine estate on the pl t rl Sent nd Bavn Columbus road— its first sessions were held in a barn which had been used as a dancehall, and was maintained as such by one of the six distilleries in the township. The college nearly ran aground upon the shoals of debt several times. More than one meeting of the trustees was prolonged far into the night to devise ways and means of meeting the current bills. By the time of the Great Baptist Conven- ardships situation of the college seemed critical. Inaccessability was the worst feature. Leaders in the denomination began to ask whether it would not be wise to move the college to a better known town— for instance, Lebanon. Just at this juncture several of the buildings were destroyed by fire, so that the time seemed ripe for the suggested change. Even then many believed Granville as the right location. Among them was Jeremiah Hall, an instructor in the institution, who set out to raise the necessary W funds to guarantee the college ' s remaining in or near Granville, f For his efforts he was rewarded with the presidency and was given | instructions to proceed with the endowment campaign. Hall set out on a tour of Ohio, and succeeded in gathering fifty thousand dollars from the Baptist churches and individual members throughout the state. With this money the Denisore ' trustees purchased the present site on the hill north of the village. Since 1845 the name of the insti- tution had been Granville College — a name which still applies siZZfrJdfnt to the men ' s department of the University. The Trustees, however, had a standing offer to name the institution for anyone who would contribute ten thousand dollars to its endowment. This condition was finally met in 1854, when William S. Denison, of Adamsville, promised that sum toward the purchase of a new site. The catalog of that year bears the title of Denison University. [ 19] in Rival Girls ' Schools Official. % ! 1 1 1 1 1 c  i 1 1 C! 1 t While the Bap- tists were spon- soring the Col- lege on the Hill, down in the village there were two rival girls ' schools: The Young Ladies ' Institution, or Upper Sem, and the Granville Female Academy, or Lower Sem. Both were later absorbed by the university. The upper sem was housed on the present Shepardson campus where one of the original buildings still remains. This building stands today as the oldest building erected west of the Alleghenies for the education of women. The lower The Formation of the University the eastern part of the village on the site which is now occupied by the Granville Inn. This school was first man- aged by the Presbyterians. Later, when for a period Gran- ville became an important Episcopal center, that denomi- nation took over the Gran- ville Female Academy. It was finally sold to the Baptists and incorporated later (1860) with Shepardson College. In 1900 Shepardson College and Granville College and the Doane Academy were incorporated as Denison University. In the period following the Civil War the institution grew more rapidly. The endowment fund was doubled, reaching the sum of one hundred thousand dollars and several buildings were added to the equipment. The curricu- lum was extended, and the fac- ulty and students increased in number. In 1879, the late Dr. W. Howard Doane presented Doane Hall, now used for the University Library.

The former burned in 1906, and was later replaced by a fireproof build- ing. Cleveland Hall was built in 1904, a gift of certain Cleveland benefactors. Beaver Beaver Field was provided in 1902 by Mr. F. P. Beaver, a member Field of the board of trustees. It was one of the first to be acquired by an Ohio college. During recent years the campus has been vast- ly extended so that it now includes than hun- dred and fifty acres. Col- lege buildings now cover the entire hill with its seven hilltops, and the Campus Extension more three athletic The about a about a ■ .. m after the construction of Marsh Hall, hy the American Commoiis Chib. Deeds stadium field and layout. property extends mile north of Broadway, Granville, and the main hilltop is itself a crescent mile in length. Much of this land has been secured through gifts of Col. Edward A. Deeds, of Dayton. The same donor made possible the completion o f Deeds Stadium and training quarters which constitute one of the most beautiful and com- plete athletic plants in the state. The stadium was turned over to the university in the fall of 1922, and an additional baseball diamond is in a state of development at present. Dr. Ambrose Swasey, of ' ' ' a7.«r.A; ' ' .f o .?. ' ' X ' ? ' ' ' ' ' Cleveland, has been one of the [21] Swasei s generous and far-seeing of the donors to the university. The Swasey Gifts Observatory, given in 1909, a building of surpassing beauty which con- tains astronomical instruments of highest precision, and the Swasey Chapel, which was dedicated in the spring of 1924, one of the most beautiful college religious edifices in the country, are his gifts. ft:- Dcnison aftei 1900, before the Greater Vci [22] Greater Denison Unchanging century has left Denison unchanged in her motives. The religious Motives and scholastic purposes of those pioneers who conceived the Gran- ville Literary and Theological Institution are uppermost today in the minds of those who see in the future the Greater Denison. Materially, Denison has changed. From the frame structure which was Changs educational plant of the first students, she has advanced to the well equipped Denison of today. From the first president ' s fifty-five thousands of dollars in endowment she is today powerfully endowed with nearly five millions. Educationally, Denison has never lost sight of the purposes of her founders, to furnish an ... . education which shall not be inferior to what can be obtained in any institution, of whatever name, in the western country. Now Greater Denison presents itself as the slogan for Denison ' s of Greater material step. The Swasey Chapel, Beaver and Sawyer Halls, and Denison the two new houses built by fraternities on Sunset Hill are definite steps toward the realization of Greater Denison, a name which pro- vides for the uniform architectural development on the hill for the entire university. A plan of high distinction has been evolved by the architect, the late Distinction Arnold W. Brunner, of New York, and Frederick Law Olmstead, the landscape architect, who has worked with him on the problem. It is planned with complete administrative, educational, and recreational buildings to accommodate five hundred women and five hundred men, with due provision for future enlargement. Brunner ' s plans for architectural development will make Denison more than a distinctive small college. . , . , The architectural style in which the entire college is carried out Architectural , , i , . . . . i • n ■ Wisdom represents an admirable choice, because it is Georgian Loloniai in manner, deriving from the native architecture of the New England from which the settlers of Granville transplanted themselves, and expressing, at the same time, the pervasive characteristics of the brick Georgian architecture of Maryland and Virginia. It is an admirable choice, moreover, because it is a style which must remain of permanent significance and suitability in this country, regardless of what other styles may come or go across the stage of popularity. Rome, on its Seven Hilltops, was not built in a day, but perished in a day. Vision t hands of one not accustomed to appreciate properly the environment of the magnificent city. Denison, on its Seven Hills, must not and cannot be built in a day. We, of the Denison of Today, must not expect to see Greater Denison Tomorrow. The growth of Denison must be effected so that the ultimate result will coordinate with her ideals — as lasting and as staunch. We of the Denison of Today must have a Vision, realizing the truth that the Greater Denison is comparatively close at hand. We must truly have the Vision of those founders, who, in the face of hard- ship, brought Denison from her meagre beginnings to the fair college on the hill. [23] Above is reproduced the Library of Greater Denison, which will be erected in its logical position at the head of the main campus. The Library is to be erected early, according to the proposed building program, and its need is greatly felt at present. I The new chapter houses of Phi Delta Theta and Beta Theta Pi are the first structures to be erected upon Fraternity Row, which will occupy Sunset Hill, and which will be the site of all the fraternity houses of Greater Denison. [24] Denison today has fewer needs than the urgent necessity for an Administration Building. Above is reproduced the Administrative Building of Greater Denison, which will be one of the first structures to be erected. Denison women, in Greater Denison, will be housed in a dormitory unit, two buildings of which, Beaver and Sawyer Halls, have already been built. Of Georgian architecture, the unit will offer the utmost in beauty and comfort. [25] Men of Greater Denison will live in the proposed dormitory group which will occupy the northwesterly spur of the Hill. With its grassy court, and its beautiful Georgian architecture, it will be symmetrical in design with the women ' s dormitory unit, which will lie on the other spur of the hill. A gymnasium for women is also included in the Greater Denison building pro- gram. Before the elimination of Doane Academy, it was intended that Doane Gym- nasium, now utilized by the women, should be turned over to the preparatory school. The new gymnasium will further perfect the women ' s athletic organization, held highly adequate now. [26] There is a great need in the Denison of Today for a women ' s social center. Above is reproduced Greater Deni son ' s answer to this need. The proposed building program also provides for an auditorium, and a music center. The widely heralded tunnel under the Hill, is a part of the Greater Denison architectural plan. By tunneling under the Hill easy access could be obtained to Deeds Stadium, and an elevator halfway through the tunnel would also make the Hill itself more easily accessable. The entrance to the tunnel is pictured above. [27] Domineering in position, and situated like Rome on its Seven Hills, Greater Denison will present a marvelous view from the quiet Village below. The whole project — Greater Denison — is no more of a dream with us today, than the Denison of Today was with the University ' s founders.

A council was organized in ' 21, and holds quarterly meetings. A Bulletin is issued monthly. Under the direction of John L. Bjelke, the scope and efficiency of alumni activity has steadily in- creased. As a contribution to the Greater Denison plan, the alumni, under the direction of Frank B. Amos ' 03, are now engaged in raising a fund of $300,000, for the purpose of endowing three profes- sorships. The ultimate aim of this movement is the raising of salary standards at Denison so that the college may secure and retain a faculty second to the teaching corps of no institution in the country. This first endeavor of the alumni body is assured of success. In future years the alumni of Greater Denison will assume other responsibilities in se- curing financial assistance for the University.

[74] 1 Nieeteeiii Huiiidlred and Twenty Eight I 75] ' iioiHiiiHi ' ' 1 t ; IRENE ACKLEY Mendota, 111. Shepardson Club We could tell all sorts of things to prove that Irene isn ' t as angelic as she looks. But if the mice don ' t tell, we won ' t. Y. W. is Irene ' s pride and joy, and she worked hard for it in her three years here. Irene is one of the few who never lost their crowning glory, and she owns two of the most sparkling black eyes we have ever seen. Yes, Irene, we think that blondes and brunettes look well together, too. RONALD ADAMS Newton Center, Mass. A. C. C. Ron is a bloomin ' Englishman, he says, but he was born in China and has spent several years in the U. S. so we rather doubt his word. ' When he first came to Denison he was a quiet youth who seldom smiled, but since then he has acquired a Yankee sense of humor in both speech and actions and we offer a reward to anyone who can prove they have seen him with a straight face. BERTHA ADAMS Newton Center, Mass. Shepardson Club Hert contributes an English accent and a mean swing in hockey to the general culture. With an unquestion- able past in furrin parts as an m. k. (missionary ' s kid, for the benefit of the uninitiated), and a future that flaunts a Cornell banner, we dare not prophesy for this maiden of parts. As for herself — she says there ' s no hope. MAURICE ALBAUGH Quincy, Ohio Sigma Chi Knucky runs the gamut of band noises by performing on any instrument from baton to drums. But then someone has to make a big racket out at the Sig house while the rest of the brothers are rustling silver from the Inn. Knucky just naturally wisecracks his way from one thing to another, and even St. Peter wouldn ' t have the nerve to slam the pearly gates in Knucky ' s face if he strutted his stuff. MARY LOUISE ALLEN Chicago, 111. We should say that here was a happy hunting ground for most anything radical. Possessed of extremely Iil)eral ideas, the sense of humor to put them across, and a personality that matches, Mary Lou is one of nur most interesting acquaintances. Out of her re- current acquaintanceships with the faculty, Mary Lou has gleaned wisdom and a philosophy worth listening to. With the language of books and the language of jiainters, she claims more than a speaking acquaint- ance, for her clever paint brush is responsible for a share of the rhapsody in color which adorns the walls of the Book Nook. [76] CARROLL AMOS Newark, Ohio Carroll is living proof that brains and brawn can exist in the same individual. He would have us believe that he never studies, and attributes his ever- increasing ' store of knowledge to the regularity of his movie attendance. Most of Carroll ' s time in Gran- ville is spent around Chemistry Cottage, and since he declares that he will never be a doctor, he bears all the earmarks of a future chemist. IRENE ARNOLD St. Catherines, Ontario Shepardson Club Irene hails from cross the border— the wide, open spaces of Canada. We wanted to ask her why all Canadians have such lovely comple xions — but we didn ' t quite dare. Just to show what an unusual girl Irene is — we ' ll tell a little secret — she ' s majoring in Chemistry! Yes, and furthermore, she ' s known up there in the lab as the Chem Shark . More power to our future Chemist. HELEN MAE ASQUITH Waterloo, Iowa Chi Psi Delta Yes sir, that ' s my baby! , sings an Alpha Theta junior as Helen Mae strolls by. Helen Mae is known as the girl from Waterloo , but we haven ' t dis- covered yet just what that signifies. When other more frivolous maidens were flaunting their locks in the wind, Helen Mae was wearing hers with demure braids around her head. But do braids denote an old- fashioned state of mind? The negatives have it. But then, Helen Mae was just made for love. HOMER ASQUITH Waterloo, Iowa Phi Gamma Delta Dusty comes from the wilds of Iowa where men are Phi Gams and hogs are the chief agricultural product. The Phi Gam stamp rests lightly on his shoulders for he looked like a fashion plate even before he acquired the badge. We can explain Dusty ' s apparent aver- sion to the sem, only by the fact that he is evidently being true to someone back in Waterloo. Dusty de vours the newest literature with relish, and ropes in more than his share of A ' s. WILLIAM AVERY Columbus, 0. Sigma Alpha Epsilon Al claims a cosmopolitan acquaintance with the country hereabouts, because he lives at Columbus, hung out a semester at Wesleyan, and now spends his Saturday night quarters at the Granville movie. Al tried being a business man once, and managed a Junior dinner, but he lost so much weight running around after stray Juniors that he decided to take life easy and be a doctor. Al knows well the path that leads to the sem. ■ . ' - 1 i 1  Jtmt ' [77] ALDA FLEMING Alexandria, Ohio Shepardson Club Alda didn ' t even appear the first semester, but Big Red yells carried even to Alex, and with the opening i)f the second semester she came on the run. Only A ' s are allowed in the Fleming family, and Alda and her sister have never disgraced the family escutcheon. Since her return to the flock, Alda has joined the King Hall aggregation, and so far she has contributed very little noise, but of course, the power of asso- RUTH FOSTER Granville, Ohio Ruth holds in her hands the destinies of more than one chronic non-chapel attendant. But she is ada- mant, and refuses to be bribed, having the spiritual welfare of the university always at heart. Ruth makes herself rather scarce around the campus, but being blonde and young and a town girl, there may be reasons. Ruth is one of our more studious members. KEITH HAMMOND Granville, Ohio Phi Gamma Delta K(_ith is a quiet unassuming fellow, but he doesn ' t live up to that reputation all the time. He has been a familiar figure at the Shepardson Halls, and he seems quite capable of entertaining the girls. As a forward on the Phi Gam major league team he helped win the championship with his long shots. He is advertising manager for this year ' s Adytum and handles it like an old timer. ALBERTA HEYER Toledo, Ohio Phi Phi Phi With a name that looks like she might be the root beer king ' s daughter, Alberta enjoys unusual pres- tige. Even though the rent ' s high in Florida, Alberta thinks there ' s some Merritt in it. This tall maiden left us at the beginning of the second semester via the T. O. C. to conquer new worlds in Toledo. She swears she ' s coming back next year, but Florida jelly has its charms, and we have our doubts. .JOHN W. D. MOORE New Straitsville, Ohio Pi Kappa Epsilon John has been connected with the University for .iliout four years but we are not all lucky enough to be able to come and go at will. He has yet to have his first date at college and some are inclined to think liini a little bit bashful, however it is very evident to some of us that this is not the reason for his ap- l arent indifference. We believe he has a girl in too many other ports. [78] GILBERT BARTH Sandusky, Ohio Phi Delta Theta It ' s a good thing Boscoe ' s pin has a good safety clasp otherwise, it would probably slip with every new moon Just between us, Bosooe ' s a fast man, in track ' and other things. He doesn ' t go to church very often, except as Sem rules require, but he wor- ships the god pigskin. Speaking of mud, the afore- mentioned football practice has been quite a help to Boscoe, for no novice can successfully plow through the great open spaces from the Sem to the Phi Delt House. GENEVA BATDORF St. Paris, Ohio Shepardson Club We are willing to go on oath that never in three years ' time have we seen Geneva when she wasn ' t smiling like the immortalized ray of golden sunshine. And we ' ve seen her often too! Freshman days m Public Speaking gave Geneva an opportunity to use her im- agination. Who will ever forget — Ladies and Gentle- men, we of the Order of the Am algamated Society of Washwomen — RUTH BEACH Cleveland, Ohio Chi Psi Delta Ruth left the business world for a fling at Denison, and a successful fling it has been! She stepped right into activities — of the social and the mere sober types. It took Ruth to show the despairing Junior Revue chorus how to put a mean swing into the Black Bottom. Modern literature delights her literary soul, and furnishes material for real conversational ability. ORVILLE BEARDSLEY Delphos, Ohio Kappa Sigma When the guardian angel checks up accounts, he will probably scratch his halo three times extra at Orv ' s books, and take an extra deep puff at his cigarette. Why. he ' ll say, with an activity list long enough to reach from Cloud A to the underworld, Orville ought to have been one place or the other long ago. But Orv isn ' t thinking of the harps or the fire- works — he ' s too busy editing the Adytum, writing sport news for the Denisonian, taking elderly roles m Masquers, directing campus affairs in Pan Hel, and a few other little items. However, he hasn ' t been crushed by the weight of over-activity. He even took time out to have the measles. ANTHONY BELLISH Cleveland, Ohio Whitey bestows his presence on the college by fits and starts. One minute he ' s here, and then, again he ' s not. He demonstrates the advantages of a piece-meal education for he knows a lot about the world h couldn ' t have learned in four straight years here, Whitey writes down the A ' s and D ' s up in the re cording angel ' s oflice, and in between times trips around the country for track, the mighty athlete aggregation id acts as trainer for [79] k ' f. 1 1% ' ColumLus, Ohio RALPH BENNETT A. C. C. Bennett and I are NordicS ' — the superior race of the world , says Dr. Detweiler. This is possibly true as far as one of them is concerned. Benny is an- other one of these boys who work hard for a living- and we admire him especially for that. Benny is tak- ing pi-e-med. It will be some time before he is through school, so there are some chances that the undertaking business will be sufficient for the increased trade when Benny begins to practice. HELEN BARBROOK Oak Park, IlL Kappa Phi It ' s no fair, that ' s all! Here we have Helen Bra- brook with an activity list a yard long, besides an en- lightening accumulation of inside diope which might readily resolve itself into a lengthy and delightfully startling biography, and we haven ' t sufficient space m which to launch such a literary venture! It ' s a shame to think that no one will ever learn the tech- nique of scheming dates from such an eminent au- thority, or acquaint themselves with the unique politi- cal views of such a social butterfly! It ' s too bad, we reiterate. Why, even Helen says so herself — in fact, we are only expressing her own sentiments herein. MURRAY BRATT Clarence Center, N. Y. A. C. C. Who doesn ' t envy Murray when he toots around in his blue Buick? He is so quiet that we haven ' t found nut a great deal about him, but we suspect that he is medically inclined. His other activity is, as the Eng- lish would say, Schopping around. PAULINE BRIDGE West Canton, Ohio Kappa Phi Bridgie ' s Denison football Dad started her out with such loyalty for Denison that she hasn ' t ceased shout- ing yet. Bridgie is the answer to the eternal question- naire — What does Denison need? Far be it from us to give anything away, but it has been rumored that Bridgie helps keep up friendly relations between Muskingum and Denison. Athletics, wisecracks and laughs are Bridgie ' s specialties. KENNETH BROWNE Haskins, Ohio A. C. C. To Ken goes the pasteboard medal for quietness. He is one of our aspiring, perspiring doctors, and as such, has not had much time to do anything else. But those in the charmed inner circle who do know him say that he ' s a good fellow to know. Ken leaves us this year to learn some more about doctoring. [80] HELEN BURRELL Newark, Ohio Shepardson Club Helen is one of our less noisy members of whose presence we are sure only because she answers to roll call. Helen rather leans toward English for who but a devotee could recite, Whan that Ap- rille— with such pathos? LOUISE BUSSELL Sparland, 111. Shepardson Club Louise ' s unerring instinct for direction that guides her even in determining the fore and aft of a frog, has earned her a place among the blessed. What would Zoology lab be withoiit Louise? And if any unbelieving men still think that all women are afraid to handle bugs — here ' s a chance to become enlightened. For some reason or other Louise claims an active interest in Florida. We ' ll watch for the explanation for the next few years. ROBERT CAMPBELL Niles, Ohio Alpha Theta Sigma Bob confirms our belief in the compression theory — you know, mighty things in small spaces — brains we mean. And yet Bob came from the hardest town in Ohio (outside of Steubenville) where children teeth on guns and at each new murder the town cries, Chicago, here I come! Bob helped the Christmas card business this year by putting out the student directory. ROBERT CANARY Bowling Green, Ohio Sigma Alpha Epsilon Bob enjoys life most with a blue pencil over his ear and an editorial gleam in his eye. The fogs of London haven ' t a thing on Bob, the only difference being that London fogs lift once in a while. We always wond- ered whether Bob really meant to eat seven rolls one night for dinner, having a perfectly good chicken dinner before him, or whether he just forgot. WADE CARPENTER Willard, Ohio Lambda Chi Alpha Wade is a high stepper — in fact, he has broken all pole vault records in Denison. Wade proudly flaunts the atheletic D and helps put Denison on the map, athletically speaking. Wade gets in a lot of extra practice sprinting from the outskirts of Granville up to classes every day. And then. Wade steps out into society occasionally. 1 i 1 f m -t: 1 m [81] MARGARET CARSPECKEN Morgantown, W. Va. Kappa Phi Margie blew into Granville from Wellesley in the second semester of her Sophomore year and at present she is basking in the benevolent rays of the lime- light on our campus. She ' s a whiz of a girl — the kind that gets good grades, is a demon with a tennis racquet, and is an otherwise regular peach! Just to Ijrove that she ' s human, though, in spite of her singu- lar abilities, we might recall a certain Saturday night when the fire alarm blared forth at a ghastly hour — hut then, of course, Margie wasn ' t the only belle MARY CASE Granville, Ohio We always think of skiis and snow when we think of Mary — her out door complexion and her crisp friendli- ness. Mary has vibrated back and forth between the sem and town, so she knows the mysteries of various shades of night life in this neck of the woods. Still she manages to remain unsophisticated, and keeps up the Denison hello custom. JOSEPH CASTELLINI East Aurora, N. Y. A. C. C. Who is the most ambitious man in Denison? Accord- ing to statistics, Joe has it. After leaving Denison, he will go to Oxford, then to Paris, and after that to Heidelberg, spending at least a year in each place. His ambition is to be a great historian and politician. When asked why he would not study in Italy, he re- plied that, being Irish, he had several diplomatic rela- tions with that sunny land of the Mediterranean. STUART CHAMBERLAIN Granville, Ohio Phi Gamma Delta Stuart ' s scientific spirit has revealed itself in various and sundry ways since the day he cut off the legs of his chair in the interests of comfort. When asked his ambition, Stuart fervently declaimed, Just to be good — this is enough — enough — so he is busy laying the foundation for future piety by coming to chapel ahead of time. Stuart says that men pos- sessed of an idea cannot be reasoned with, but he will not elucidate, so we can merely conjecture. VALEDA CHRISTIAN Chagrin Falls, Ohio S. C. It ' s a far cry from Chagrin Falls to Granville, but Valeda bore the transition like a man. With several other ambitious souls, Valeda scales the steps to the garret up in Beaver, and views the world with an appreciative eye from her lofty perch. Life is just one chuckle after another to Valeda, but in between times she works like a Trojan so she ' ll have more time to laugh. [82] DALE COE Shelby, Ohio A. C. C. , Dale is a studious fellow, as wise as Cat ' s owl. Dale devotes his days and nights to a saxaphone, a pipe and Morpheus — chiefly the latter. It must be admitted that, although he attends classes fairly regularly, Dale has lots of ability, and the chances are that he may wake up to it someday. But then. Dale steps out occasionally. PAUL CLISSOLD Chicago, IlL Beta Theta Pi We have some wonderful singers in our class, but the other three in the quartet are far above Paul, for he sings bass. He was manager of the Junior Revue, and we have to admit that he did his work quite nobly. Paul ' s appearance of indifference is all bunk— he ' s not that way at all, when you know him. It seems highly improbable that Paul will be elected May Queen this spring. CLIFFORD COLWILL Mt. Vernon, Ohio A. C. C. This member of Jaw Bones uses his to great ad- vantage to the everlasting discomfiture of his debate opponents. We heard it from someone who knows that Cliff ' visits Wesleyan even when there is no debate scheduled, so we may further judge of his persuasive abilities. Cliff is quiet and and his friends are numerous. RUTH COLLYER Rochester, N. Y. Shepardson Club Ruth has been blessed throughout her college career with a family which thinks that extra food is one of the necessities in a college curriculum. So they send it — boxes and boxes and boxes. And big hearted Ruth continues to hand it out to her gormand friends. Ruth heard a little Italian talk once in a week-day Bible school, and since then she has been struggling with that high speed language. But the gestures are too much for Ruth ' s Rochester soul. CLARENCE CONDIT Alexandria, Ohio Clarence is the big button-hole magnate from the near-west. You can find him in the library when he is not in class — always reading — even in chapel. Those who know him better will tell you that he is really working and is the sort of fellow who will do more than his profs ask of him. - . : 1 f J ISABELLE COOPER Oak Park, 111. Kappa Phi We might crack wise about Ibby ' s ability in the Terpsichorean art, but we couldn ' t tell the school a thing it doesn ' t know. Since our first AU-Shepardson dance, Ibby ' s dancing has been the drawing card at not a few affairs. We might also add that Ibby is a good kid to know as some one fittingly remarked. Ibby has done most of her cross country out Kappa Sig way this year. ELEANOR CURTIS Granville, Ohio Sigma Delta Phi Puggy left the Licking hills for a year out west, and believe it or not, she has not lost her maidenly dignity when the east claimed her once more. Our freshman recollection of Puggy is of an extremely weary but dauntless blonde asking an interested world on Scrap Day — Our twenty-eight, boy do we rate? Puggy evidently thinks so. Music claims a large part of Puggy ' s time, and she is the owner of a beautiful voice. LILLIAN DALLMAN Waverly, N. Y. S. C. Dibby is president of the aspiring new educational sorority, and under her guiding hand, success is certain. Dibby is one of those bally athletic women , as the Englishman was moved to say. We feel sure that Dibby could write volumes on The Underworld of a Freshman Cottage , if she only would, having bad considerable experience at Roberts, but like all those who really have pasts, she remains clammily CATHERINE DARBY Owantonna, Minn. Sigma Delta Phi Kay has a reputation for owning one of the cleverest wardrobes in school, and a Beta complex. But there ' s really very little doubt as to which has first place in her life. Kay always liked the unusual — remember the time she introduced goons and jiggers to a startled school? This is a life of ups and downs to this Minnesota lass — downs when her white coat fails to come back from the cleaner ' s and ups when it ' s warm enough for a serenade. RICHARD DEMAY Sandusky, Ohio Kappa Sigma Alickey is another fighting Irishman from Sandusky. As an end on the Big Red, he displayed a wonderful amount of energy for a little fellow. He also throws the javelin, and provides his share of the fight which the Kappa Sig B Team shows on the basket ball floor. Although the girls are all for him, he doesn ' t spend much time at the Sem. It ' s our impression that the reason lives in Sandusky. J HILDA MAE DICKERSON Dayton, Ohio Shepardson Club To make a hit with your profs have your work typed by Hilda Mae Dickerson. Yeah — Hilda Mae. And how many grateful recalcitrants have pulled a grade on the strength of her masterly typing which bespoke, the prof said, Such careful interest in one ' s work. Hilda Mae carries the honor or responsibility of being the midget of the class. And as if that weren ' t enough she ' s f Eta Sigma Phi. In fact she ' s done up in a small package. national secretary of idea of efficiency MARTHA DILDINE Lima, Ohio Sigma Delta Phi Martha has proved that Beta influences reach far, for she lasted only a year away from the Wooglm fold. Martha confirms the truth of the fashion books, for she has that willowy grace so often pictured and so seldom seen. We are sure that Martha must be well endowed with gray matter, else how could she pull such good grades and still spend so many after- noons in the interests of track? PAUL DILLON St. Louisville, Ohio This business man and prospective M.D. from St. Looieville seems to have made himself rather scarce about the campus for nearly three years. We be- lieve he hides away in Cleveland Hall to study during the day. But , you ask what does he do at night? ' We refuse to satisfy your morbid curiosity by answering the interrogation. WINIFRED DUTCHER Oak Park, 111. When the wearers of the black and gold, early last year, told us that her heart is true, we understood why Winifred ' s Fridays and Saturdays were so full. When anyone speaks of angels and halos we think of Winifred. We are forced to explain that we don ' t mean to imply that Winifred is an angel. Far be it from us to create the wrong impression! But we have hopes for Winnie ' s future, because her golden halo of hair was never intended for anyone but an angel! DONALD G. EDGAR Delta, Ohio Pi Kappa Epsilon When this boy begins to teach school the world will lose one of its greatest farmers and judging from his conduct around here we would never expect him to reap any wild oats. He actually seems to have come here in pursuit of knowledge. But all this is aside from what we started to say. The real ques- tion is, without a doubi Is he Ewers, or is he mine? ' A [85] :HARLES F. ensign Defiance, Ohio Alpha Theta Sigma he most ingratiating smiles, the most sparkling eyes imply have no effect on Freddy. ' Sno use, girls — he . absolutely immune. All this seems to point to a girl i home. But Freddy confides in no one, and as far 3 Granville is concerned, his yellow curls and blue ves are completely wasted. Freddy slings hash ith the best of them, and who knows how much of e down-town business he ' s responsible for? Seriously, lOugh, besides working harder than most men in this isititution, Freddy never lets anything below a B nd its way onto his record card. DAVID EVANS Youngstown, Ohio Kappa Sigma Rabbit is Denison ' s best bet in the cross-country run, and he also shows his determination and grit by running the distance race in track. He is one of the custodians of the Wigwam, and has several other jobs around school. As a stage manager he is in constant demand and besides acting in this capacity for Masquers, he staged the Junior Review. j 1 FRANK FILKINS Norwalk, Ohio A. C. C. Jerusalem! says Frank, and proceeds to stretch the scarce Adytum dollars to their greatest capacity. When Mr. Mueller came to take Adytum pictures it was Frank who finally persuaded the bashful ones that it was their duty to mankind to have their pic- tures taken. Frank doesn ' t confine his interests to business alone, since he comes to Y. M. meetings most every Sunday. One time someone told us that Frank was a very serious-minded man, but we just laughed and laughed, because we knew it wasn ' t sol Just ask him where he spends his Sunday nights! ADDISON FISHER Granville, Ohio Phi Delta Theta If signs mean anything, Addison is misplaced, for he continually deserts the ranks of the loyal Baptists and patronizes the Episcopal Church. In one of his histrionic moments, Addison made Masquers, and has worn the ugly little gold face with a sense of responsibility befitting a Lincoln. Addison stalks the earth with true Phi Delt dignity, for even mud cannot ruffle his peaceful soul. BERNICE FRYE Newark, Ohio When we talked to Bernice, she said I wish to be a librarian providing I do not do something else first. Now what can she mean? We ' ve tried to find out, luit, as we ' ve given up solving the mystery of the sphinx, we give this up too. Anyway, we do know that Bernice owns a pair of brown eyes anyone would be glad to claim. And she ' s the other half of the Avery-Frye twinship! [86; J HOWARD GAMBRILL Pittsburgh, Pa. Pi Kappa Epsilon Howdy has safely blazed a trail through the wilds and smoke of Pittsburgh and has emerged triumphant in the clean and smokeless village of tjranville. Howdy isn ' t seen much around the Sem unless he s visiting his sister. Maybe he ' s singing a solo to the Girl I Left Behind. Anyway, he seems to be busy most of the time with something, foj don ' t see much of him ' ' ' he prefers the city of sii week-ends. Perhaps -who knows? IRVEN GARRETT Haskins, Ohio A. C. C. We know only one thing about Haskins Ohio, and that is the farmers there never raise cauliflower. Per- haps that ' s why Johnny came to college. There is but one question to ask in order to determine his Popular- ity here on the campus: Do ladies prefer blondes? Johnny used to haunt Beaver Hall, but now he has walking dates all by himself. Uncle Sam has probably increased his sale of postage stamps and has put on an extra mailman in Toledo since she left. After all, she wasn ' t the only co-ed, Johnny! MAXINE GORDON Toledo, Ohio The limitations of the English language mean nothing to Max If she can ' t find the word she wants she coins a new one. The unusual always interests Max and her side remarks are worth hearing. Max knows just how many hot dogs there are to a pound, and how many spoonfuls of mustard can be squeezed from one glass, due to her hot-dog stand experience in the cause of Geneva. Anyhow, she knows how to charm the shekels out of reluctant pocket books. JOHN GREER Willard, Ohio Lambda Chi Alpha Willard, home of athletes such as Carpenter claims Johnny also, but he is not that kind of an athlete. He is a good cowboy from the ranch, and has a line that is very effective — at work and at play. John is never in a hurry, but then, one can ' t blame him, for he has such a long walk from the postoffice and he has to conserve his strength. NELSON GRUBE Basil, Ohio Kappa Sigma Nellie is rather small in stature, but that doesn ' t hold him back. He is what one would term ver- satile, for he plays basketball, is a good broad jumper, belongs to the Engineering Society, and as first tenor elevates himself to high places in the Glee Club quartette. Once in a while he gives the fair ones a treat and breaks a few records jumping up to the Sem (or leaping for the bus). [87] 1 1 yi MONROE HAIDET Akron, Ohio A. C. C. ty IS the champion, guaranteed gloom-chaser — even the brothers say so. If you ' ve heard him laugh once, there ' s an inclination to start in a duet with him. Monty has black eyes and pep. If you ' re too broke to go to the local opera some night, Monty will always Oblige and perform. It has been rumored that Monty hands some nasty ones when he wrestles. PETER HANF Richmond Hill, N. Y. Phi Gamma Delta Some one called Pete a waster one day and the loyal brother to whom the remark was addressed became so wroth that the speaker never again saw the light of day. Pete may waste the days, but nights are useful! Pete gets the tin cup for bashfulness. Profs are so aw( inspiring to him that mere speech fails him in classes. Anyway, it ' s much easier to say, I don ' t know. And of course, one must have one ' s sleep. HELEN HALADAY Cleveland, Ohio Shepardson Club Helen — of the infectious giggle and an affinity for cottage life. One year in the subterranean passages of Maple Cottage was not enough, so she now hangs her hat on the hall-tree at Brooks Cottage — a vantage point from which she gets all the details of Stone Hall ' s back-door serenades. Helen goes on record as being unusual, for she ' s down on publicity of any sort ! ELAINE HANNAY Ballston Spa, N. Y. Shepardson Club As one of the Northfield delegation Elaine loyally flaunts a banner in her room and prefaces her reminiscent remarks with When I was at North- field — According to this Scotch lass of the naturally red cheeks and the big innocent eyes, her future vocation will be finding a vocation. Elaine is inter- ested in literary pursuits— the kind that can be pursued in an emergency, when one knows nothing of the Questions that are being written on the board! JESSIE HARDMAN Massillon, Ohio We haven ' t any quotation from Jessie, but we can al- ways originate one, so here goes. Don ' t be afraid of work — it never hurt me. There can be no doubt about the truth of this statement, but it wouldn ' t do to ask whether she ever worked. Jessie admits that she is a whiz at math, a shark at Spanish, and a bear at most anything else. Tessie is one of the preferred blondes. [88] HELEN HART Coshocton, Ohio Shepardson Club Archery, music, and friendliness are Helen ' s spe- cialties. We have heard her called the hardest work- ing girl in the class. When we remember the boxes of candy that made Helen ' s m£ freshman year, we can understand her ability in Robin Hood ' s art. Helen ' s voice is one of the main supports of the baser element in the Glee Club. ELIZABETH HEALD River Forest, 111. Kappa Phi Liz would never be forgotten if one had merely seen her. The possessor of the most perfect marcelle ever fashioned by human hand — distinctly brunette — add to this the kind of intelligence that invites a steady stream of A ' s — Well, that ' s enough for now! As House President of Stone Hall, Liz leaves nothing to be desired. A truant mouse wouldn ' t dare squeak if Liz said not tol CONSTANCE HEDDEN Newark, N. J. Connie can tell you all you want to know about the mosquito state. By strange and devious ways has she traveled the road between Newark and Granville, and her knowledge of that road is com- plete. Connie proudly harbors an eastern accent and a secret ambition to turn a golf score for nine holes, that is under a hundred! As a future English teacher — with her red head and an unexpected sense of humor, Connie ought to make a hit. DAVID F. HELM Dave is said to hav Newark, Ohio larger vocabulary of good words than any other student on the campus but he gets rattled once in a while and forgets many of them. However, if he is as exact in his work as in expression we know he will be a great man. There ' s no way to miss. We wanted a quotation from him but the reporter was only a senior and could not spell half the words. BERNARD HESTON Kings Mills, Ohio Pi Kappa Epsilon We hate to give Bernie away, but Kings Mills isn ' t nearly as aristocratic as it sounds. According to himself, he is in a permanent fog, but that doesn ' t keep him from having dates eight nights of the week. Bernie broke down and confessed to us that there really were some nice Newark girls — Newark papers please copy! [89] GARLAND HICK Cambridge, Ohio Kappa Sigma A Pan with a sense of responsibility, an ardent mas- culmist — paging Gar. This versatile lover of the his- trionic art and the written word, flits from one campus activity to another and then hurls questionable in- vectives at the evils of over activity. Gar is so busy he even forgets to eat — but then — Shakespeare was so absent-minded he lost five pounds one time. Gar ' s Masters ' activities have given him a varied life, from the idealistic young poet to the decrepit old man. But still he manages to be himself, and has been elected editor of the Denisonian next year. CARLYLE D. HOFFMAN Sandusky, Ohio The man with the distinctive whistle — say, you know what we mean — sometimes its Kappa Phi or Phi Delta Theta and then it may sound just like the milk-truck that wakes you every morning. Con- trary to general belief, Carlyle does not live in Newark (Ohio). He is said to be a good student but of course everything depends on the interpretation of the word Good. MARIELLEN HOFFMAN Poland, Ohio Alpha Tau Delta Alariellen is the proverbial girl of my dreams — blue eyes, golden hair, and— fill in the missing link. ■She doesn ' t speak very often, but when she does, it ' s usually some pert truth that just fits the occasion. Last year there was a Kappa Sig who used to wear out the pavement between the Kappa Sig house and King Hall. But this year he didn ' t come back. Per- haps that explains Mariellen ' s pensive moments be- tween mails. INEZ HOOPER Newark, Ohio With all due respect, we can easily picture Inez decorating Victoria ' s court. We don ' t know her very well, for she is one of the reasons for the existence of the bus line, but we wish we knew her better. A knowledge of literature, especially the classics, makes Inez an intelligent conversationalist. We might wax more eloquent and say that Inez is everything a girl ought to be. SARA LOU HOWLAND Plain City, Ohio Sigma Delta Phi When Sara Lou decided to stay out one semester about a year ago, the present Junior class threw its worried cap into the air and shouted, Hurrah! She can do Junior Revue music! And do it she has. Sara Lou hears ethereal sounds that simply aren ' t, to the uninitiated, and she transposes them into snappy or weird or dreamy airs, as the mood strikes her. She has a glint in her eye that proves she doesn ' t spend all her waking hours in church. As a singer of heavy bass, who will ever forget her Boom, boom, [901 ARTHUR HUFF Bethesda, Ohio Sigma Alpha Epsilon Art ' s only rival is Paul Whitman, and we are sure that if P aul could have heard the Junior Revue, he would have abdicated from his Syncopation Sov- ereignty on the spot. If Lincoln ' s life was domin- ated by the cause of slavery, so is Art ' s dominated by the cause of music. The only trouble is that when Art plays he can ' t dance, and a keen dancer is lost to the world. There ' s one thing that has always bothered us: What made Art ' s hair get so curly between our freshman and sophomore years? DAVID ISAAC Martins Ferry, Ohio Beta Theta Pi Dave completely undermines the old theory that all musicians have weird temperaments — unless campus careening in the interests of serenades can be due to such. Dave led the Sophomore cohorts through a struggling period a year ago, but the numerous Junior productions this year are evidence of the silk purses he turned out. We certainly hand it to Dave for fortitude, because he has done the Pilgrim ' s Progress act up the Sigma hill not a few times in the past two years. LAWRENCE JOHNSON Youngstown, Ohio Sigma Chi Laws does a rushing business for the Buxton Inn. He holds the championship coffee juggling record, never having caused any one to lose his religion over spilled coffee. Laws is the boy who started the present Junior class on the right track, since he wielded the gavel our freshman year. Since his strenuous duties that year. Laws has preferred to enjoy things as an onlooker, albeit an interested one. LOUISE JOHNSON Akron, Ohio Louise belongs to the Amalgamated Order of Blondes — only non-peroxides admitted. We always wondered why the blondes were so unfairly distributed, that King Hall was blessed with more than its share. Pull somewhere It has never been determined just how many of the noises of the night could be blamed on Louise, for certainly no King Hall queen was ever known to take more than her share of the blame. Noise aside, though, ' 28 was glad to have Louise drop in on them. RUTH KREAGER Granville, Ohio S. C. Ruth is one of those serious-minded girls who find it much more profitable to learn from the school of experience than from dear old Denison. She actually seems to know her stuff about psychology, and she actually spends two full days of studying each semester — one just before nine weeks and the other just before finals. However, she does not advise others to try this, and intimates that she gets through on piill. We also know what she does during her spare time — between writing letters, you know — but really, we can ' t tell. [91] JOHN KUHN Newark, Ohio You should hear Red play that Uke of his. He has a wonderful eye for music! But we can ' t hold that against him — he is human even as you and I, and much more ambitious. In fact one of his greatest activities is Greek, and nearly anyone, excepting Dr. Dean, will agree that he needs all the ambition he can possibly acquire, and perhaps even more. ELEANOR KURTZ Granville, Ohio Sigma Delta Phi Come on, kids, let ' s go! says Kurtzie, and no supporter of the ' 28 blue and gold has the nerve to be pepless. As an m. k. Kurtzie could unfold start- ling tales of Life in a Missionary Home, but loyalty to the cause of the heathen keeps her silent among the unconverted. Dancing is Kurtzie ' s special delight, but she can go over a hurdle like a fly on the wall, as one delighted masculine was heard to remark. There is a King who rules over Kurtzie ' s life, but of course, since he isn ' t here any more — SAMUEL A. LAPHAM New Philadelphia, Ohio A. C. C. Sam is making a major in chemistry and a second Looie in the army. He is still rather goofy about radio and there is a wild, imaginative story to the effect that he actually received music from W. A. I. U. but since the boy across the hall plays (?) the saxophone — well, draw your own conclusions, we DONALD LINDROTH Newark, Ohio Sigma Chi If Don didn ' t eat pork and weren ' t so generous we might call him Abie, for he takes care of the coffers of that droll bird known as the Flamingo. Thanks to Don, the Bird always has a free con- science as far as debts are concerned, for Don has an eye on Judgment Day, and he ' s not taking any chances. We don ' t need to sing Don ' s praises. The fact that he is president-elect of Student Govern- ment shows what we think of him. WILLIAM LOVE Youngstown, Ohio Alpha Theta Sigma Bill ' s shingle guarantees plenty good training to any- thing from a football man to a fliver, having had con- siderable experience. Being one of our blither spirits. Bill thinks life ' s a huge joke. But some one told us once that he had his serious moments. Bill ' s shadow has darkened the Chi Psi door for many moons, and the mere m ention of Waterloo makes him happy. [92] ROY MACAFEE Elkhorn, Wis. A. C. C. Roy is studying for the ministry, and says that he is quite interested in science, so we should ex- pect him to contribute generously to the W. J. Bryan fund — we don ' t think! He says he has a nice girl at home — please don ' t misplace the accent for he thinks Denison girls are nice too. He expects to do post-grad work at Rochester, so he may live up to his ambition in spite of the evil influences that have been brought to bear on him here. GEORGE McDonald Newark, Ohio Phi Delta Theta Mac bears all the ear marks of a man-about-town, even though the town be Newark. Mac ' s pencil fancies have often found their way into the College Humor, being pictures of real coUitch boys and girls. The written word also has its attractions for him. Not satisfied with all this, Mac took on the Junior Revue this year, and oh — watta Revue! Mac flits from dorm to dorm and switches his allegiance with every new moon. JANICE MANN 3, Ohi Shepardson Club Janice is following in the footsteps of her Phi Bet sister by taking college as it should be taken — in large doses. When we remember the ease with which she sailed through freshman math, and her ability to keep her hair as a lady ' s hair ought to be, we wonder why life is such a stormy process for some of us. Janice lives in town, and sports a car and a fur coat. ' Nuff said! DOROTHY MARSH Irwin, Pa. Phi Phi Phi Dotty likes Granville, but the Sooty City looked even better to her, so she stayed with us only one semester this year. Dot always looks like a Worth mannequin, being five feet of pep, rhythm, music, and good looks. Fortunately for the youth of the nation. Dot lived in town, last semester, so her telephone was always busy. Besides, she managed to pull down A ' s in most of her subjects without looking the least bit grindish. LOUISE MARTIN Granville, Ohio Sigma Delta Phi Pondy ' s sudden withdrawal from Granville society in the cause of Columbus week-ends was satisfac- torily explained one dark night last spring when the news came around, via the Beta brethren, that, of course, she had a right to wear that pin. Even though Pondy loses pins with the same absent- mindedness with which she forgets meetings, the man remains faithful, and buys another pin. For some interesting history of early Granville, ask Pondy where she got her nickname. til 1 Hjjjk bH [93] LEWIS MEARS Granville, Ohio A. C. C. Louie is the boy with the broad smile all the way across his face. He has done more than his share for Denison in a musical way, for he claims member- ship in the Glee Club, the Band and the Orchestra. Louie wakes up the town at nine o ' clock every Sun- day morning with the chimes, and plays an ac- companiment to the grand march to chapel three times a week. MARY MEHNERT Buffalo, N. Y. Shepardson Club Mary is one of the intelligentsia. Five minutes ' conversation with her is worth as much as an hour with most people. Not that Mary is a high-brow — she knows too much to be that. With a Phi Bet complex and an amazingly broad general knowledge, we don ' t know what to expect for Mary ' s future. At times we think that a seat with the philosophers is the place for her when she and Elaine start on one of their theological discussions. We ' re waiting ■ to hear the key jingle, Mary. IMOGENE MICHAEL Mt. Vernon, Ohio Chi Psi Delta Did you ever see a Phi Bet aspirant who didn ' t wear glasses with black rims and who didn ' t condemn the movies as a waste of time? If not, Immie ' s the gal! Although Immie has never explored the alphabet any further than the first letter, she has made the ac- quaintance of that thing fondly called social life here at Denison. Immie loves to talk, and since her ideas always take form in an amusing drawl, she ' s pretty good to listen to. MARGARET MITCHELL Bellevue, Pa. Shepardson Club Margaret contributes to the heavy overhead on third floor Stone. But who minds when the rumpus is such good natured noise? Margaret hails from the environs of the city of soot, and can be heard with her cohorts most any homesick night wailing, Oi, GLADYS MOOR Kankakee, 111. Chi Psi Delta Glad can parlez Spanish with the best of them and she can also make posters in English! Glad likes dates — ■ history and otherwise. (Shades of Maple Cottage!) To say that Gladys emerged hale and hearty as one of the inmates of Maple Cottage, after a year of hill- climbing and plowing through the underbush would be to recommend her as good publicity for the college. The eternal struggle with Gladys is the hair ques- tion. At present the bobs have it. [94] VIRGINIA MEYERS Cleveland, Ohio Sigma Delta Phi Ginny ' s brown eyes stray out Lambda Chi way, we ' ve noticed, when they ' re not viewing a Lambda Chi on Stone porch. This Cleveland delegate lias a smile that won ' t wear off, even though she ' s bearing the trials of growing hair. According to second floor Stone, Ginny utters her musical matins at seven o ' clock every morning. ELIZABETH NEWLAND Paw Paw, Mich. Betty holds forth in her corner room with Lucy on second floor Stone, and lets the rest of the world go by without batting an eyelash. Such indifference must have been acquired only through painful ex- perience. But Betty has a sense of humor which announces its existence at the most unexpected moments. Betty plods along as if the day had more than twenty-four hours. The only time she was ever known to hurry is at 7:59 1-2 in the morning. JEAN NICHOLS Chicago, 111. Phi Phi Phi The little jeweled lyre that Jean wears suggests her musical inclinations. Delta Omicron is dear to Jeannie ' s heart. Jean has light hair and blue eyes — need we add that her telephone is usually busy? In fact, the boy-friends — both here and there — take up a great deal of Jeannie ' s time. Somehow or other, Jean managed to escape from Chicago to Granville without knowing what a wicked place she lived in, but what she hasn ' t learned since she came here, isn ' t worth mentioning! EDWARD NISHIO Suma, Kobe, Japan A. C. C. Eddie came to us from Honolulu, but he wasn ' t hard to become acquainted with. He is an officer and an active member of Cosmopolitan Club, and a member of that august body known as Jaw Bones. Eddie does a mean breast stroke on the swimming team. There is no question of east and west with Eddie or his friends. JOHN NORMAN Detroit, Mich. Lambda Chi Alpha Johnnie stood it as long as he could, but at the end of the first semester he had to go back to the place where his pin was planted. We understand that Johnnie was the leading spirit among the intelli- gentsia out at the Lambda Chi House, and the pro- longer of not a few all-night sessions. This probably accounts for Johnnie ' s somnolent inclinations during the day. [95] iimi 1 1 I KATHERINE NOYES Oak Park, El. Sigma Delta Phi If anyone ever owned a misnomer Kitty does, having neither the feline qualities her first name indicates, nor the unladylike tendencies hinted at in her last name. For true Chicago dignity, desired by many, and attained only by a few, Kitty gets the hand I)ainted pie tin. While her more gushable friends are dashing around saying And oh my dear, he said, Kitty just laughs and laughs, because she knows there ' ll be a mail pretty soon, and she won ' t have to say a thing. LOUIS A. ODEBRECHT Granville, Ohio. Andre is, without the least shadow of doubt, a student. In fact we sometimes think he is too studious and fear greatly that he will have to begin Walter Camp ' s daily twelve to reduce his German goitre. He is seriously considering Harvard and we wish him the best of good fortune which ever way he decides, not that he will need luck, but then you know we always were generous and kind hearted — if it did not cost anything. DOROTHY ODELL Granville, Ohio Dottie walks among us with thoughtful brain and inkstained fingers, for is she not numbered among the literati? Already her lesser classmates are be- ginning to whisper I knew her when — in fact, ever since she sold her first story. According to Dottie, however, most of her brain children have met an early death in the waste basket. Aside from all this, Dottie is a regular peach. ELEANOR OWENS Our Mt. Vernon, Ohio earliest recollection of Eleanor is of the taxi line she ran between the ol swimming hole and Granville during the brief season the faculty didn ' t notice it! Eleanor likes company, so she ' s always with someone. The Mt. Vernon colony numbers Eleanor among its members. THOMAS PARKS Chicago, 111. Thomas would never tell us where he came from, but we caught him up. We asked him to go on a sleighing party, but he said he had no gun. Eureka! we cried, you ' re from Chicago! Then he broke down and begged us to keep the secret. In three years, he said, I shall command Chicago ' s under- world. Tom behaves himself quite well here in Denison, even having dates with the highly civilized women of the institution. J MILTON PASCOE Sandusky, Ohic Phi Delta Theta Milt has managed to live down his home town, st that he is now accepted in the best society. Thi evolution process has been rather a backward ont for Milt, because just when he thought that he hai: left childish things behind him, they gave him tht kid freshman part in the Junior Revue! ' Sail right Milt, not every one can be a Glenn Hunter. Milt is a regular fusser, but it ' s no drawback in his case. EVELYN PEASE Berwyn, IlL Chi Psi Delta With humble apologies to whom ever it may con- cern, may we preface this brief biography by the following appropriate lines: She always said that she ' d come back. And here she is — here she is. And so once more Peasy ' s popular in our midst— back from civilization to the frontier where men are men, and she holds forth in triumph. Peasy is a corking combination of snap and sweetness centered in a co-ed of blond attractiveness. She was one of the charms in the Junior Revue and has recently ac- quired dramatic prestige by being admitted to the stardom of the Masquers satellites. ROY PECK Cleveland, Ohi A. C. C. Good things come in small packages. But then, does poison. We ' ll admit that there are few bett when Roy ' s asleep, but awake — that devilish glint his eyes means something. This boy can hold h own when it comes to telling a good story. Ri leaves us this year to go to Medical School. We c; only hope that he won ' t be mislaid. CHARLES PIERSON Granville, Ohio Phi Gamma Delta Charlie is one of those collegiate college boys — trousers that collect dirt, a top coat that approaches the ground, and a cute little cap. He always seems to be busy doing something, but he seemeth busier than he really is. Wine, women, and song are always attractive to Charlie, but wine is intoxicating and he hasn ' t an ear for music. RONALD PHILBRICK Granville, Ohio Lambda Chi Alpha Ronnie never could decide which he loved the most — his flivver or the girls. Since both of them are fickle, he tried them both. But the flivver has gone on to a better world, and only the girls remain. Ronnie high-hatted the university for a semester, but he couldn ' t stand it to have the Lambda Chi brothers pledge any more freshmen without him so he came back to claim his suffrage rights_ 197] ETHEL PIGGOT Oak Park, Kappa Phi With a birthday on St. Valentine ' s day and a whole- some appreciation of anything funny, who could help but like this Oak Park representative? Piggie is one of the fortunate people who can work and have a good time doing it. Junior Revue owes a great deal to Piggie ' s Say, let ' s — Piggie is an advocate of bigger and better taxi service out Kappa Sig way. If other things don ' t interfere, Piggie will probably throw in her lot with the newspaper reporters. MILDRED PROCTOR Shanghai, China Shepardson Club Peg is one of Mrs. Cressy ' s notorious China Gang advocates of Sunday Nig:hts. With China for a backgriound and a future in China as a missionary, Peggie ' s stay here is but fleeting. Nevertheless, she is sufficiently anchored to swing a mean hockey stick and to wield a wicked tennis racquet, and, as the inconsolable guard said in basket ball, Them wicked HAROLD PROSSER Wellington, Ohio Phi Delta Theta Cy is an example of a good Denison man. He is consistent, for he made three letters in his Sophomore year in football, basketball, and baseball. He is also consistent in his good nature, and belongs to Green Friars, proving his worth as one of their eminent very seldom seen with a girl. Con- tulations. Cy! LOUISE RALSTON Newark, Ohio Cicero would ask for a new lease on life if he could hear Louise on the debate platform. It takes not only brains, but personality in these verbal battles Louise indulges in, and she has them both. In her more frivolous moments, Louise dances, and con- tributed a few kicks to the Junior Revue. Do brown eves send a thrill up and down your spine? Try Louise. HANNAH REID Chicago, III. Sigma Delta Phi Five foot two, eyes of blue — was written for Han- nah ' s express benefit. This Irish colleen possesses, among other things, an exceptionally fine voice, one coon coat, and an undying interest in China and rub ber. Han doesn ' t step for anything, for she has enough pep to keep her ahead of the crowd Hannah has brains, but we understand that she has trouble with simple arithmetic. For particulars, ask anyone who went on the Glee Club trip! [98] ALICE RICHARDS Newark, Ohio Shepardson Club Ml you who are superstitious cast your eyes on one who was born on Friday the thirteenth and still survives! And as if that weren ' t enough, lucky AJice was endowed with a satin-smooth complexion and hair that ' s spirally inclined in its natural state. If we ever saw Alice crabby we ' d begin to think it was time to look about for our wings or horns! Alice is one of the girls of whom we stand m awe, for she likes chemistry! WILLIAM T. RICHARDS Granville, Ohio Bill lives out on the R. F. D. and spends most of his time close to nature. He seems to be quite interested in agriculture and subjects closely connected with it, such as integral calculus. It is to be supposed that upon graduating he will become a modern farmer or a school-teacher and apply some of that vast store of knowledge he has accumulated since entering this institution. HAROLD RICHARDSON Zanesville, Ohio Phi Delta Theta Pick can make wise men laugh and strong men weep, but he lives a useful life for all that. Pick can wise crack like a man, but he realizes that there is a time and a place for everything, so when it comes to Flamingo contributions he ' s right there with a poem guaranteed to wring the heart of a can- nibal. Pick has so many side-lines that we don ' t know him at all. The ice-cream business furnishes a letter of introduction to the back doors of all sorority houses, so there is no excuse for a silver shortage at the Phi Delt House. PAULINE ROBION Oak Park, III. Kappa Phi Polly is one of the few sisters who have been able to keep up the family rep as well as to make one for herself. Masquers, Y. W., class affairs— Polly has given them all her enthusiastic atention. She even lends her lusty shouts to the support of her class team. Since she emerged after one year of public speaking as one of Prof. Johnnie ' s prides and joys, Polly ' s ability in things dramatic has been un- questioned. We rather think Polly will join the ranks of the social service workers when she leaves school. FLORENCE ROPER Monclova, Ohio Shepardson Club Ever since her freshman year, when Florence did a cross country run every morning to breakfast from Bawden ' s Cottage, she has been one of our mighty athletes. Florence claims that her school interests are mathematics and the swimming pool, although, she hastens to explain, she is not a star swimmer but likes to splash. Florence thinks she will do statistical work. 1 [99] Creston, Ohio 1 I- f i L EARL RUSSELL Phi Delta Theta Red spent a year at Wooster before he found out that Denison vyas the place for him. He answers to the roll of mighty athletes, having acquired letters as fullback on the Big Red football team and catcher on the baseball team. Red finds time somehow to locate the Sem quite frequently and he has been seen in Newark on week-ends. He is an advocate of the proposed telegraph service between Frater- nity Row and Beaver Hall. RUTH SARLES Norwood, Ohio Phi Phi Phi A journalist, a debater, a vice-president of the Y. W., the president-elect of the women ' s student gov- ernment, a mighty good fellow to talk with — that ' s Ruth. Her present interest is of things literary and she says emphatically that her future interest will be literary work — but not teaching. In this interest, Ruth is thorough. She is a mem- ber of all the university publications, being the principal woman staff member of the school weekly, a heavy contributor to the humor sheet, and an as- sociate editor of the yearbook. A dancer in the junior revue, Ruth might plan on a histrionic future, if gentlemen keep on preferring blondes. CAROLYN SCHOPPE Oak Park, IlL Shepardson Club Carrie is an active member of the cult that believes chapel was meant for something else. Carrie believes that there never was a class quite like ' 28, and she ' s always on hand to prove it. When we asked her what her interests were she said, Literature, biol- ogy and photography. And she expects to teach English or be a dentist! Draw your own conclusions. JOHN SLOAN Cincinnati, Ohio Sigma Alpha Epsilon Jack hangs up his hat in Cincinnati when he ' s at home, and the night life of Fountain square is an old story to him. Jack is another of those musi- cal boys who can play any instrument on demand. We understand that he spends much of his time at the telephone, but then, if at first you don ' t succeed. ALEXANDER SMITH Mt. Vernon, Ohio A. C. C. Squads halt! And Alex is right in his element, for he ' s an Army man, and feeds his horse on corn and beans. We can ' t help wondering why they allow these nice little boys with downy upper lips to play with such dangerous toys as guns and pistols. And yet, they gave him a car his freshman year I ■i HILDA SMITH Kappa Phi This is neither the time nor the place to talk of curly hair and appealing eyes. But just the same Hilda has ' em — not to mention the kind of brain that thrives on A ' s even in chemistry. There seems to be some doubt as to Hilda ' s present interest. When we asked her she said, Chemistry. But her room-mate swears it ' s Bill ! And if we took a vote at the Sem, we have a sneaking suspicion that Bill would win. MAY SMITH Hartford, W. Va. Chi Psi Delta When we asked someone how to tell the twins apart they said, May ' s the one with the dimple in her chin — that ' s the only way I can tell them apart, and sometimes I forget which one has the dimple! So we ' re really not sure which one we ' re writing about now. May likes English, and she ' s going to be a nurse. We always did believe in the healing balm of poetry ! MARGARET SMITH Hartford, W. Va. Chi Psi Delta It ' s hard to say anything about Margaret because, as we said before, we ' re not exactly sure which one we ' re writing about. But for both of the twins we can say that they ' re the kind you like to be with, because the funny side of things is always so obvious to them. Margaret is going to be a stenographer or secretary, or both, she says! NANCY SMITH Granville, Ohio Phi Phi Phi Nancy is a person of contrasts. She loves moonlight nights and she loves to argue on any subject at all. She can cook and she loves to dance. Nancy is the third installment of the Smith family and if they ' re all like the first three, we fervently hope that the Smith family will never grow less! Nancy has taken a great deal of interest in the administration end of student government this year. Add to this her in- terest in the science of medicine. Question: Can there be any question about her future? WAYNE SMITH Newark, Ohio Wayne is one of the big, bad boys from Newark, as they are recorded in the office. And Wayne makes the most of his chances, according to the Newark police daily bulletin. If French suddenly became the national tongue over here Wayne would be asking for caviar before the rest of us had even learned how to ask for bread. He comes to Gran- ville every day via a car. Still, with all the added advantages of a residence in Newark and a car, Wayne refuses to high-hat anybody. 1 [101] ISABELLE SMOCK Erie, Pa. Shepardson Club Adytum points with alarm at one who says that her future occupation will be criminology, and means it! Certainly no one would suspect that such inten- tions could be harbored in the mind of one so ap- l.arently nice. We have a feeling that if Isabella waved her long black lashes at the criminals they would be reformed on the spot. Isabelle is num- bered among those who are here, but not very noisy, as the small boy said. VIRGINIA SOLT Oak Park, 111. Kappa Phi The confines of seminary life were too much for Jitney, so she imported her family — car and all, to keep open house in town. Jitney has been a con- sistent dater since time immemorial, and life is just one continuous date to her. Adaptability must be a part of Jitney, for altho she lived among the evil influences of Chicago during her early life, conformity to our more peaceful way of life hasn ' t been too hard. Jitney is one of our blither spirits. MARIAN SPENCER Newark, Ohio Kappa Phi Spence lustily carries the school to the great white star at sings, and claims the privilege of sign- ing in guest books, Kappa Phi Gamma Delta. Sjience contributes her share of the wisecracks in any contest, and she can dance even when the only accompaniment consists of the nasal efforts of her friends. We heard that the recorder became dizzy when he made out Spence ' s card — there were so RAYMOND SPOERRI Chicago, 111. A. C. C. Ray is an apostle of the school of action, and we lesser lights fade out of sight when this breezy Chicagoan gets to work. Ray plans to be a minister, and there ' s no doubt of his ability to gather the sheep to the fold with his enthusiasm. Ray has been unswerving in his devotion, having followed the geographical locations of one maiden for two years, from North to Stone and to Sawyer. JOHN STARK Granville, Ohio A C. C. John stands alone on the substantial side of the scales to balance his more flighty brothers, for John is decidedly not that. Days and nights, summers and winters in Granville have not left their mark, for he continues to love the Licking Hill territory. John J MARIE STARKEY St. Louis, Mo. Phi Phi Phi Last year we would have said that Marie had a single interest— poetry. This year, she has acquired an- other — the kind that takes her on long walks and fills up her Friday and Saturday nights. If you ask Marie, she ' ll tell you that Senior privileges m one ' s Junior year are the greatest institution ever established! Marie is loyal to her Missouri town, for she travels the road to St. Louis even for Thanks- giving vacations. CHARLES STILWELL Sigmi Bedford, Ohio Chi Chuck claims an affiliation with the powers that be, but that doesn ' t ruin his relations with the hoi polloi — rather it enhances them ! And we always had a feeling that Chuck could tell a lot if he only would. Chuck ' s experience on crutches this year has given him a new sympathy for the halt and lame. Ser- iously speaking, we might add that Chuck ' s the sort everyone likes for a friend. DOLLY STEINBERGER St. Paris, Ohio Shepardson Club We never knew much about this St. Paris until this true Parisian came to Granville. She is a loyal mem- ber of the class, and her hello is the ] oiliest on the campus. She is rather quiet, but still waters— you know. We like Dolly. BERNADINE STONE Elmhurst, IH. Shepardson Club It has always been a moot question with us whether we should use the front half or the rear half of Bernadine ' s first name. Which is it, Bernadine — Berney or Dina? Bernadine brought a twin to school with her her freshman year, but the twin didn ' t sur- vive. No one can tell what influence kept Berney hale and hearty enough to stand the trials of Gran- ville life. EDMUND STRATTON New Philadelphia, 0. Kappa Sigma Buddy returned to Denison after a year ' s absence with the same cheerful nature and abundance of pep which he had already shown. As assistant cheer leader he did a corking fine job. He is a member of Masquers, and if you don ' t believe that he likes the girls, take a look at the wall paper in his room. [103] PAUL SWANSON Granville, Ohio Phi Delta Theta With a Phi Delt missionary family as a starting ponit, Swede easily steps from one thing to another, from basketball to the class presidency, and in be- tween, in fact, all the time, he is one of the reasons for the five-minute calling rule at the Sem. And .Swede likes to dance so well that he does the black bottom all the way out to the Phi Delt retreat. Notwitlistanding all these drawbacks, we hear that Swede IS going into the ministry. MAX TAYLOR Morris, N. Y. Alpha Theta Sigma Insurance, mathematics, baseball, and indoor sports — that ' s Max. He has one fault, but if he would only capitalize it he would have his fortune — that IS, his unique sense of humor. It ' s so deep we never know when he is joking, and even his best friends can ' t tell. He also knows some wonderful stories, and boy! how he can tell them! LOUISE THOMAS Granville, Ohio Phi Phi Phi Tommy has the happy ability to look like ' Vogue, even in a middy. Being one of the more fortunate town girls, Tommy sports a car around on occasion, but still she manages to keep thin. She is known as an ideal partner for a dance, since her brown eyes aren ' t a bit hard to gaze into, and she is also a keen dancer. Tommy is an extremely modern young lady, and the feminist movement has her heartfelt support. KENNERD TIBBITS Chicago, 111. Lambda Chi Alpha Ken is a man who wants to be different, but like most of us, he didn ' t choose the right place to de- velop his individuality. We used to think him a bit high-hat, but as soon as the ways of the big city wore off, we found him to be a man for a ' that. Ken spends his time like the average — working, playing, having a date once or twice a month, and indulging in the secret activities of the brethren on the farm. GORDON TREPESS Ashtabula, Ohio Phi Delta Theta Gordon worked fast, and as a result he gained track honors and a lasting interest in Centralia. But it took a man with some glue-like qualities to win out against such competition in both fields. And Gor- don ' s the boy! He left us for parts unknown at the beginning of the second semester, and thus escaped the Phi Delt transition period. But the brothers say that he ' ll have plenty of chances to move pianos and shovel coal! [104] i 1 KENNETH VARNEY Dayton, Ohio A. C. C. Ken feels equally at home with either a girl or a tray on his arm. He deserves credit for being a hard worker in most anything you can mention. Ken has been a mainstay in the trombone section of the band, and has a voice in the matter when it comes to G ' lee Club. Any information as to why, when, and where Denison won the basket ball champion- ship will be gladly furnished by Ken. PAULINE WEST Troy, Ohio Shepardson Club We admire Pauline ' s ability to take hard knocks, for even though she lost her bag coming back Christmas vacation, we still see her smile occasionally. She is so quiet we often have to look to see if she ' s still there. Pauline likes publishing work, and we ' re counting on her to publish our first book! CHARLES WHITCOMB West Toledo, Ohio A. C. C. A Toledo product, born and bred in the bone — further particulars unnecessary. Chuck spends most of his waking hours over at Chemistry Cottage, and we understand now that he is contemplating moving his bunk over there! Otherwise, Chuck is so busy with his studies that he finds time for little else. But his scholarly influence reaches far, and when the water isn ' t too deep his friends like to be around. JOHN WHITELEATHER Kent, Ohio Alpha Theta Sigma Jack is catalogued among those who are mostly social. And does he have a good time being it? Well, do butterflies like to flit? Jack is in a perpetual state of amour, but it seems to agree with him because he always looks happy. We might add that Jack is the best understudy Denison ever saw. EDWARD WIATT Moulmein, Burma A. C. C. Ed knows what it means to be by the old Moul- mein pagoda, looking eastward to the sea, and he expresses his colorful past influences by being some- what of an artist himself. The Book Nook wouldn ' t have become the dizzy place it is without Ed ' s lavish brush. He ' s a good scout, and as one de- lighted friend remarked, He may be an M. K. but you ' d never guess it, Ed can converse with the intelligentsia, for he reads modern literature. [105] HELEN WILLIAMS Massillon, Ohio Chi Psi Delta If gentlemen prefer blondes, we ' re confirmed that Helen is the exception which proves the rule! It ' s lucky tho, that she is blessed with hair verging on red or we ' d never see her thru the perpetual fog in which she is enveloped! In addition to her natural attributes, she is secretary of the class this year, on Y. W. Cabinet, a member of Crossed Keys, and then — but who needs to be reminded that she ' s one of the celebrites in the envied Masquers crowd? ANN WRIGHT New Philadelphia, Ohio Shepardson Club Capability spelled in capitals — that ' s Ann. She has enough pep for half a dozen people and she ' s one of the real leaders on campus. Ann may be seen playing center on the Junior team or crash- ing through a forward line after the ball on the hockey field. Besides her varied activities in W. A. A. Ann has further shown her versatile nature on Student Government Council and in Y. W. BEN WINDLE Newark, Ohio Sigma Chi Big Bad Ben is the hero of many a football game. For was it not he who bandaged and rubbed the players when they were injured, and took them drink when they were thirsty? He has a noble heart, and would do for anyone even as he has done for the least of these — being, of course, Micky DeMay. And a wide brimmed hat would give Ben the appearance of Tom Mix at his most villainous. ESTHER WOOD Mansfield, Ohio Sigma Delta Phi If Caesar was versatile so is Esther. Artistic, in- telligent and sociable — Denison welcomed her with open arms when she eluded the pernicious grasp of the University of Rochester with its Damned Souls, and came to the purer air of Granville. Esther ' s art work has considerably embellished the plumage of the Bird, and some of it has found its way into College Humor. Esther has so many fields from which to choose that she is undecided about her fu- ture. She makes one stipulation — it won ' t be teaching! Moab, Utah RUTH WOOD A year ' s absence showed Ruth that she couldn ' t live without us, so she came back. And she was so glad to be back that she even collected dues for the class. Ruth is so quiet that not many of us know her. But her friends tell a different story. We might say in Ruth ' s favor that she is blonde and plays the piano. [106] JAMES F. BOURNER Newark, Ohio Since we have known Jimmy we have decided to take back all the bad things we have ever said about Newark. He is a good student, that is he always has been, and unless we miss our guess he will be a regular on the varsity baseball team this year. And tliat ' s not all, for his friends say that as a sheik he is the pride of Licking County. EVERETT BUCK Johnstown, Ohio Alpha Theta Sigma Everett tries the absent treatment on Granville on his frequent tours to Newark and environs. Life has turned him into a oynic and he views the world with an amused mien from his apartment on College street. But just to prove that Everett is frivolous once in a whil We saw him walk a railroad track once. ARTHUR CHARSKY New Britain, Conn A. C. C. Art was well educated when he came to De; id to date we haven ' t noticed much improvement, except that he now has a broader knowledge of — things. Art circulates in his little orbit, reaching Beaver Hall at regular intervals, and winding up his rounds at the A. C. C. House. He exercises a vocabulary with such recklessness that it would surpass even Mr. Eschman ' s gymnastic s as an en- tertaining feature. He is quite industrious, and his ministerial future seems quite probable. JOSEPHINE DEEDS Granville, Ohio Sigma Delta Phi From her white house by the side of the road, Jo has watched the population of Granville change every year since her infant days. And still Jo has faith in the rightness of things. We almost lost Jo once when she thought she ' d rather burn roasts than rake in the A ' s. Jo has been on almost every food com- mittee the class or W. A. A. ever had, and the elastic qualities of a dollar do their best in her capable hands. WALTER ELGIN Columbus, Ohio Phi Gamma Delta June ' s executive career began three years ago when he was our first freshman president. He is winding up his presidential ventures now by election to the chieftainship of the Fiji clan for next year. June completely eliminates the Chessie cat when it comes to broad grins. Even though Columbus has a reputa- tion for being disgustingly respectable, that doesn ' t need to cramp any one ' s style, and June, of course, is a free, untrammelled spirit! [107] MARGARET BABBS 5. C. Newark, Ohio The Glee Club counts Babbs among its new warblers. In spite of the fact that we see her three times a week on the platform, we don ' t know her very well, for she is another one of these Newark Advocates. Babbs has a flare for work and a willingness to help that make her quite an addition, aside from the fact that she ' s a good girl to know. ESTHER BAER The click of a typewriter Toledo, Ohio music to Esther ' s ears, inoe she ' s one of these here writers . With a nose 3r news, and eyes wide open, she goes out on an ssignment like a veteran, and the most hard-shelled iiterviewee hasn ' t a chance. Esther and Ethel can ' t e beat for pep and enthusiasm, and the Big Red hasn ' t two loyal devotees. Toledo, Ohio ETHEL BAER Toledo did us a big favor when she sent us two such bundles of energy as Ethel and Esther. Ethel, very early in the year, showed her inclinations by betraying quite a fondness for the gym. In fact, we sometimes suspect that she bunks over there. We give Ethel credit for an uncommon amount of good sense, for neither snow nor rain keep her from traveling the weary miles from Darrow to breakfast. VAUGHN BANNING Mt. Vernon, Ohio A. C. C. If, in the years to come, while strolling around Cleve- land you should see a sign with gilt lettering — Dr. Banning — don ' t be afraid to go in and take advantage of Vaughn ' s big-heartedness. He swears that he won ' t charge his usual hundred dollar consultation fee to those who give a big Yea, Denison! Vaughn plans to go to Western Reserve next year. [108] HARRIET PEOPLES Newark, Ohio Shepardson Club Harriet has just announced to us this year that she belongs to someone forever and ever, cross my heart and hope to die. She must be kept busy writing to the man back home, for we don ' t see her very often on campus. Harriet fared better than most of us in freshman English, for ' her trip abroad fur- nished enough theme material to last the whole year, while we less fortunate mortals struggled with such heavy subjects as Why I came to Denison. WILLIAM PICKERING Lancaster, Ohio Pi Kappa Epsilon driving taxis than n school, (vorks his American I attri- Bill spends more but he is bound to succeed — the man way always does. Picture Bill in the Magazine in 1969 with this quotation: bute my success to the fact that I worked my way through school, and it was a long, hard grind. At any rate, Bill is well acquainted with the members of the Girls ' Debate Squad! ALFRED WARDLEY Bedford, Ohio Lambda Chi Alpha Al feels that the state of society requires at least that we find out what it ' s all about. So he took a semester of soc. And after it was all over he sighed and said, Watta world! Oh watta world! But it takes more than the vagaries of his fellow citizens to get this boy down, and he has even been known to crack wise at the expense of the brethren. KENNETH WEAKLEY Newark, Ohio Lambda Chi Alpha Kenneth is one of those boys whose past is a closed volume. He never lived in Granville until his sophomore year — that ' s when we found out that he was connected with the institution. But he was not destined to remain in obscurity forever — no sir! — he proved it by filling his social pigeon-hole like an old 1 1 [109] Nineteen Hendred and Twenty Nine is- ■ ' . i f [ George Heaton, Eleanor McCann, Margaret Hartman, James Kemper, President Vice President Secretary Treasurer [111] i [ 118] Nmeteee Hiiiidredl and Thirty In COemoriam Robert Bugcne Jones April 22, 1907 Tlovcmbcr 4, 1926 Abram Flory President Elizabeth Sweet Vice President Mary Frances Myers Secretary Bernard Rogers Treasurer [119] [121] [124] [ 126] Fraternities ROLL In order of their founding at Denison Sigma Chi — Mu Chapter Beta Theta Pi — Alpha Eta Chapter Phi Gamma Delta — Lambda Dueteron Chapter Kappa Sigma — Gamma Xi Chapter Phi Delta Theta — Ohio Iota Chapter Lambda Chi Alpha — Gamma Iota Zeta Chapter Sigma Alpha Epsilon — Ohio Mu Chapter Alpha Theta Sigma — Local Pi Kappa Epsilon — Local PAN-HELLENIC COUNCIL Ashbrook, Baker, Beardsley, Broughton, Cadwell, Guthery.

The main purpose of the organization is to foster and promote class spirit by attendance at all class meetings, by parti- cipation in class affairs, and by ehowing an active interest in all activities of the class. It further purposes to encourage a democratic, friendly feeling between the groups on the campus. The organization worked in secret until it was formally announced at a dinner party at the Buxton Inn, January 21, 1927. Through Miss MacNeil ' s advice and encouragement the organization has been able to progress considerably in the first year of its existence.

The club takes its name from George Piatt Knox, the first head of the department of Christian Education at Denison. The aims of the organization are: To stimulate a deeper interest in Christian work on the campus. To broaden and enrich our contacts in the field of Christian education. To give practical training in Christian leadership. To give inspiration and ideals which may be carried away from college halls. To ever seek to interest others in this line of work.

Then it was known as the Zoological Club, Biological Club, and finally to its present name, the Biological Society, with a trebled membership. The Biological Society was organized to arouse interest and promote knowledge in the biological subjects by means of lectures, discussions, and field trips. Any student taking work in the zoology or the botany department is eligible for membership upon invitation from the society. At least one all day field trip is planned for. Last spring the club took an all night camping trip to Fallsburg, and studied plant and animal life in a very interesting region. A social meeting is held once a semester with a party at the end of the year. The pin which was recently adopted, is black and gold with a gold microscope, which is distinctive of the two departments.

The Denison Masquers is an independent organization on the campus, fostering interest in dramatics. Membership is honorary, based on competitive try-outs to which all Denison students are eligible. The coach for each play is selected either from the faculty or from outside sources. Under the presidency of Miss Gordon the Masquers have made great progress in furthering the efficiency of the club. Interesting meetings are held on alternate Tuesdays at which time programs of one-act plays and readings are given by mem- bers of the club. Two Crooks and a Lady, Will o ' the Wisp, and The Clod are the most prominent of these short productions. Professor King delighted the club with his reading of Eugene O ' Neil ' s play, The Great God Brown. The Masquers have obtained a room in Burton Hall which will be used for a dramatic library and for properties. The formation of the executive committee has augmented the work of the club. Another successful innovation of the present regime is the appointment of a permanent business manager to handle the financial end of the plays. Jean Gordon President I 205 ] Plays Presented Deriiig The Past Year PRUNELLA by GRANVILLE BARKER Commencement Play, presented on South Plaza. Barker ' s fantasy proved a delightful con- clusion to the list of Masquers productions last year. Laboring under adverse weather conditions, the cast offered Granville patrons of the histrionic art a splendid, refreshing per- formance. Lester Livingston and Winifred Graves in the Pierrot-Pierrette roles carried the major burden of acting in capable and pleasing interpretations. The fantastic love scenes in the quaint garden setting, the sedentary role of the statue, and the work of the Mummers and Garden- ers were other high points of the production. Much of the credit for the performance is due to the able coaching of Professor King. Cast: Pierrot — Lester Livingston; Scaramel — John Garwood; Mummers — Robert Luff, William Leslie, John Norman, Earl Seidner, Eleanor Kurtz, Virginia Solt, Edna Frick, Elsie Mae Payne; Tenor — Russel Bergold; Prunella — Winifred Graves; Aunts — Hester Bentley, Phillis Caul, Marian Wood; Gardeners — Orville Beardsley, George Pickett, Gerald Wellman; Boy — Tom Edwards; Love, a statue, — Garland Hick. KEMPY by ELLIOTT and J. C. NUGENT Christmas Play — presented in High School auditorium. The light comedy by the author of The Poor Nut was well received by the Denison students. The well-known fondness of the Big Red campus for comedy was probably less responsible for the general approbation than was the all around excellence of the performance, the well-cast characters, and the fine coaching. The acting of Lester Livingston in the title role added another chapter to his list of dra- matic triumphs. Emily Spencer, playing the ingenue lead, pleased the audience with girlish appeal and proved a big find for Masquers. The acting of Orville Beardsley in the father ' s role established him as one of the outstanding character actors in recent years. Helen Williams demonstrated her versatality by more than doubling her age to present the character of the nervous mother in a convincing manner. Pro- fessor Dickerman ably coached the play. Cost: Kempy — Lester Livingston; Ruth — Emily Spencer; Dad Bence — Orville Beardsley; Ma Bence — Helen Williams; Jane — Marian Spencer; Duke — Lee Beardshear; Kate — Edna Frick; Ben — Earl Seidner. CHILDREN OF THE MOON by MARTIN FLAVIN Spring play — presented in the High School auditorium. Attempting the production of a very difficult play dealing with the effect of a hereditary moon-mad psychosis, the Masquers scored a distinct triumph. Individual honors would be hard to award in this performance. Beatrice Ewart again demonstrated her genius in the interpretation of the elderly woman role. Jean Gordon as the selfish, arrogant young mother made the audience hate her in the play, which is the greatest praise a performer in a villian role can receive. Changing from a perfectly normal young girl to one of the children of the moon, Winifred Graves won acclaim in a gigantic emotional role. Garland Hick as the neurotic grandfather, presented the most difficult character role of the play in a convincing manner. William Leslie as the aged servant, Lee Beardshear as the young aviator, and Orville Beardsley as the genial family doctor, captured the audience with their excellent interpretations. Colonel Yearick of Newark directed the play. Cast: Jane — Winifred Graves; Major Bannister — Lee Beardshear; Laura — Jean Gordon; Madam Atherton — Beatrice Ewart; Judge Atherton — Garland Hick; Dr. Wetherell — Orville Beard- sley; Thomas — William Leslie; Walter Higgs — James Grimm. [ 206 ] Y. M. C. A. The Denison branch of the Young Men ' s Christian Association had a record-breaking year under the leadership of Wilbur Rogers. The finances of the organization have been on a more sound basis than ever before, and the membership is much larger. The Denison Y made a name for itself in state Y. M. C. A. circles by playing host to a conference of representatives of all Ohio colleges during Spring Vacation. The conference was a great success and was handled in an able manner. Dr. Bernard Clausen of Syracuse, N. Y., led the Week of Prayer spon- sored by the local Y. M. C. A. The success of this annual feature of the Denison year surpassed anything in recent years.

Nearly 250 delegates from all Ohio universities were entertained during the sessions, and nationally famous speakers and leaders were scheduled.

Under the direction of Allan F. Schirmer, the very capable and likeable new instructor in voice at the Conservatory, the club rapidly rounded into shape. The concerts of the club during the Fall and Spring trips were exceptionally well received and the newspapers of the different cities sponsoring concerts gave very favorable and complimentary write-ups as to their quality. The Club made its first appearance at the Annual Home Coming proceedings in the Fall, in which they appeared in a joint concert with The Shepardson Glee Club. During the Thanksgiving vacation the Club made its Annual Fall trip. Concerts were given in Chillicothe. Ohio; Huntington, W. Va; Charleston, W. Va; and Parkersburg, W. Va. The men making the Fall trip were: Nelson Grube, John Innes, Lester Livingston, Ernest Gillam, Jack Robison, David J. Isaac, Herbert Owens, Paul Stull, Joe Howland, Ralph Allen, Arthur Huff, Erie Ellis, Harling Spring, Sandy Loughman, Richard Shanley, Paul Clissold, Clyde Shumaker, Leroy Beavan, Thomas Folsom, Clair Young, George Ogden. The Spring trip was taken entirely by bus this year, and the territory covered by the tour was around 1050 miles. The tour covered four states; Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, and West Virginia, concerts being given in New Philadelphia, Ohio; Akron, Ohio; Cleveland, Ohio; Erie, Pa; Jamestown, N. Y; Massillon, Ohio; Pittsburgh, Pa; and Waynesburgh, Pa. The Club sang in the Rotary Club at Canton, in the East High School at Erie, Pa., and in the High School at Waynesburgh, Pa. The concert in Pittsburgh, which was the high spot on the tour, was given at the University Club. The different audiences hearing the concerts during the tour were very much pleased by the performance of the club.

The Denison Cosmopolitan club goes a long way to make that accusation false among the students on the hill. In fostering an international outlook, the club has taken for its motto, Above all Nations is Humanity. The Denison chapter is a member of the national organization of the same name. The meetings are made usually interesting by the first-hand information of Denison ' s cosmopolitan students.

Geneva college, Geneva, Pa., opened the season at Granville with a no-decision debate. Ohio Wesleyan defeated Denison twice in a dual meet, Denison ' s affirmative team speaking here. Miami was defeated by our negative team at Oxford, but proved too much for the affirmative squad in Granville. Mt. Union lost both ends of the succeeding dual match, while Denison and Ohio University split even, our negative team winning at Athens. [ 220 ] The Shepardson Debate Squad The Women ' s Debating teams suffered one of their worst years count- ing the number of victories and defeats. In no case, however, was either team completely swamped by an opposing team; most of the decision s being made by two to one counts. The season opened with two dual meets, the first with Ohio Wesleyan, and second with Albion college. Both of these were no-decision debates. The team then met West Virginia, followed by dual meets with Miami and Otterbein. Among the girls ' teams, Margaret Fowle, Catherine Hall, Marian Lovett, and Helen Brabrook were the most outstanding. I The Emgwersom Chorius The Engwerson chorus gave its annual rendition of Handel ' s oratorio, The Messiah, in Swasey Chapel, December 11 and 12, 1926, under the auspices of the Granville Festival Association. The soloicts were: Lucile Magill, soprano; Dorothy Volkman, contralto; Bernard Andercon, tenor; Ellis Snyder, basso. Prof. Edward G. Mead accompanied on the organ.

The green team, composed largely of Sophomores, which showed so much promise in early frays, collapsed after the Cincinnati contest and never recovered. Capital was the first eleven to engage Denison on Deeds field, and with Livy using his whole squad, succeeded in holding the Big Red to a scoreless tie. The work of several men who played under Denison colors for the first time stood out prominently. The next week end the Ohio Northern Polar Bears invaded Granville, and on a day more suited for baseball, succumbed to Denison, 13 to 7. The day was too warm for good football, but the Big Red led all the way, and the visitors could not score until the last few minutes, aided by penalties after Livy had inserted his second team. The best game of the season from a Denison standpoint was with Cincinnati on October 9. The Bear Cats were one of the hardest fighting teams that has been seen on Deeds Field for years, but the Baptists flashed the best offensive that they displayed all year, and succeeded in scoring two touchdowns for a 14 to 0 win. This proved to be the turning point of the season for Denison, and she was unable, although displaying good football at times, to add to her win column. Ohio University was met at Athens the next week end, and the Big Red lost, 6 to 0. This was the first contest that had been played on a wet field, and the Denison backfield was handicapped by the uncertain footing. Probably the most disappointing game of the year was that with Case on October 23. The Scientists were completely outclassed the first half, but came back with an aerial attack that netted two scores. Although the final tally was 12 to 0, the winners were unable to penetrate the Denison forward wall. The annual Miami game was played at Dayton on October 30 amid the usual mud and rain. The southern Big Red scored a touchdown on the opening play of the game, and from then on Denison was on the defensive. The final result of the interesting but unpleasant fracas was 16 to 0. On Homecoming day Wooster journeyed to Granville, and after being outplayed half of the game, took advantage of her opportunities to score and went home on the long end of a 9 to 0 count. This was perhaps the best showing Denison had made since the Cincy contest. Muskingum, now conference champs, had her crucial test of the year on November 12, when the Big Red went to New Concord for the Huskies ' big game. But Bill Lange ' s team was equal to the occasion, and succeeded in turning back Denison 22 to 13. Livingston ' s men were unable to cope with the Muskies ' passing attack, most of the winner ' s gains being made by that route. Denison again showed fight in the finale. In the last game of the season at Delaware the Big Red put up a splendid battle and held the Wesleyan to a 9 to 0 decision. The Battling Bishops got the breaks, but Denison undoubtedly should have scored. Walter Doutt, Manager. CAPTAIN NICHOLSON Center For three years a member of the varsity. He led the team in his last year and directed the attack from the center position. During his entire three seasons with the team, he participated in all but three minutes of play. Many sport scribes placed him on mythical All-Ohio and All-Buckeye A. A. teams during his last two years of competition. Nick was a fighting leader and will be sorely missed in coming campaigns. I Russell Fallback Broughton — Completed third year on team. Good defensive end, es- pecially fast getting down under punts. Russell — Husky fullback and a reliable man at backing up the line. Won his second letter in this cport. Baker — Played a steady game at guard and ripped large holes in the opponent ' s line for the backfield men. Fisher — A hard charging guard who gave his best at all times. Stuck on the squad for two years and won his letter his senior year. Baker Guard Fisher Guard [ 242 ] Shanley — Played a good game at half for three years, winning his letter during the past season. DeMay — A fighting Irishman whose gameness and spirit more than made up for his diminutive appearance. Mick played at end. Stubbs — A fleet-footed quarterback who excelled at open field running. Has two more years with the Big Red. Kistemaker — This sophomore held down a guard post and made a fine record the past year. With one year of experience he should show up well in coming compaigns. Kistemaker Guard I Freed Halfback Mason Halfback Freed — This halfback had a peculiar gallop which enabled him to elude tackles and break through the opponent ' s line. Has two more years with the team. Mason — Proved to be the best ground gainer for the Big Red but had to play most of the games under the handicap of a leg injury. Has two more years to display his wares. Worst — Another sophomore who gave a good account of himself this year. Played a bang up game at guard. Rose — At tackle Rose proved to be the nemesis of many opposing teams and will be a dependable man for Livy for two seasons to come. [244] Gregory — A Doane Academy product who promises to develop into one of the strongest tackles in Ohio. This sophomore was very adept at breaking through the enemy line and smearing up plays. All-Ohio mention last fall. Owens — Burr was an able field general and did the bulk of the punting. Another sophomore with bright prospects ahead. Oxley — A lanky sophomore end, from the neighboring town of Newark, who was a whiz at catching passes. He is also a good punter. Troxel — This big husky blonde could tear through the other teams for those last few yards. Trox will be seen at fullback for two years more.

Although the freshman squad of the past year was not filled with brilliant players, a few promising men were uncovered. Toward the end of the season, Coach Jenkins whipped the frosh into a hard fighting aggre- gation and they played the sophomore varsity men off their feet in the scrap day game, which ended in a tie.

From the time Referee Bacon ' s whistle blew for starting of activities until the moment when the timekeeper ' s gun freed the exhausted cohorts of the two teams from the suspense that gripped them during every part of the breath taking game, a noise resemblant of that of the mob that stormed the Bastile, echoed and re-echoed from the seven hills of Denison. There was not a single person in the crowd, the largest ever assembled in the Wigwam, who did not feel exuberantly proud of his or her Big Red. Likewise, there was not a single admirer of the Fighting Bishops who felt a mite less proud of the glorious battle put up by their splendid team in its efforts to bring the championship gonfalon to the Delaware school. Four seniors, Jenkins, Nicholson, Ashbrook, and Douglas, put up one of the best exhibitions ever displayed by members of a Denison team, while Homberger, a sophomore, played with such form that would indicate a brilliant court career in the coming two campaigns in which he will participate. Jenkins, with 17 points to his credit, led the Denison attack and his play stamped him as the outstanding basketball player in Ohio colleges. Captain Ashbrook fought with a primitive fierceness in his efforts to keep the Wesleyan score to a minimum, and with Jimmy Nicholson, all B. A. A. center, he proved to be the Rock of Gibraltar to the Delaware offense. Douglas and Homberger, forwards, passed the ball with such skill and dropped it through the hoop with such accuracy that the Wesleyan guards were bewildered in their attempts to check the Big Red offense. Throughout the game neither team led by any great majority until, with a few minutes to play, Denison forged ahead to a 6-point lead. Lamme, lanky captain of the Wesleyan quintet, re-entered the game at this point and immediately renewed the Delaware threat by sinking two beautiful field goal which reduced the Denison ' s lead to 2 points. With only a few seconds to play a foul was called on Jenkins, sending him from the game. A clever bit of strategy was displayed by Coach Deitrich in sending Mitchell, six foot four Wesleyan center, into the game to make good a follow up shot on the intentionally missed foul. The ball leaped through the air, bounced lazily around the rim, and fell into the arms of Burr Owens, who clung to it with proverbial tenacity until the timekeeper ' s gun halted the game. The victory was won, and a burst of noise shook the rafters and came only a short way from blowing the roof off the tem- porary structure, fondly known to Denison supporters as the Wigwam. Each cheer that echoed from the hills, proclaimed Denison the Fighting Baptists, the best team in the B. A. A., the best team in Ohio, and so far as any Denison man was concerned, the best team in the country. [248 ] CAPTAIN ASHBROOK 3 Guard AsHBROOK, as captain of the champions, deserves any amount of credit for the example he set all season by fighting, and that example was needed in every major contest that the Big Red entered. Never a flashy player, Ross was the possessor of the unusual reputation of never having an off night, and of playing a consistently good game. When there was a mix-up under the opponent ' s basket, it was usually Ross who came out of the pile with the ball, and started Denison ' s offense. His shoes will be hard ones to fill, and it will take a real man to do that thing. [249 ] Basketball Review Winning the Buckeye Athletic association championship was the feat performed by the Big Red basketball artists during the past season and now Denison sits on the top of the whole basketball heap. To Livy goes the credit of building the cham- pionship delegation. While Denison ' s quintette was expected to show real quality this year, few expected to see a championship team built out of the material on hand. Livingston predicted that the winning team would lose three games and that is what happened, showing the caliber of the teams whipped by the varsity. Basketball fans in Cincinnati began to sit up and take notice of the Denison crew when the Red men scalped three Cincy teams and another in Hamilton during Christmas vacation. The first victim was the L. B. Harrison semi-pro team, falling victim to a 28 to 24 score. The Cincy Y delegation went down the next night, 31 to 26. The Fenwick club was the third loser by a 33 to 29 score. The Hamilton Y was the victim of the fourth setto, 20 to 11. Florida university ' s quintette lost a barnstorming game in the wigwam, 30 to 17. Wooster treked to Granville the next week and left after being manhandled by the Redmen, 38 to 15. The first fast game of the home season left the Cincinnati Bearcats on the short end of a 25 to 23 score. Denison fans enjoyed a real treat when they saw the Red- men nose out the Cincinnati delegation in the last few minutes of play. After winning seven games straight, the Livyites lost a listless game to Wittenberg here, 44 to 39. An overtime period at Wooster netted the two coveted points for Denison and the Big Red again won a heated match, 32 to 30. Denison dropped to third place in the B.A.A. when Miami jolted the Big Red with a 28 to 24 score. The home quintette was badly off form and the fracas closely resembled a football battle. The Wesleyan Bishops were the next to feel Denison ' s prowess when they were nosed out 24 to 23 in the last few seconds of play. The game upset the dope bucket and Denison began the climb to the top notch. Ohio University threw a scare into the Denison camp when they came within one point of tieing the score in the last half, eating up a twelve point lead run up in the first frame but losing 28 to 29. The Ashbrook crew then humbled the Wittenberg aggregation with a 42 to 33 score and avenged an early season defeat. Ohio University, which was acting as doormat for the B.A.A. teams, then proceeded to lose here, 22 to 15. The Bearcats then lost to Denison on their own floor 25 to 23. It was a crucial game and after winning it, the path to the championship seemed navigable but rather rocky with Wesleyan and Miami looming up as big threats. The night after the Cincy fray, the Big Red dropped one to Miami and re- turned home with a chance for the championship but had to overcome the powerful and highly touted Wesleyan crew. When the crucial game came around Denison backers saw the Big Red perform to perfection and down Wesleyan 38 to 36 in one of the fastest games ever witnessed on the Wigwam floor. The last game of the season was annexed at Oberlin, 43 to 26 and the Redmen went into winter quarters. a Jenkins, Guard Nicholson, Center Clyde Jenkins, — Butts has been All-Ohio for three years, was captam of the varsity in his Junior year, and ended his college career in a blaze of glory by scor- ing seventeen points against Wesleyan in the championship game. James Nicholson — Said the ' Cincinnati Bearcat ' of Big Jim: the best basket- ball player that was seen this season in the city. Nick has been the backbone of a great Denison defense for three years, which means that some boy will do a lot of work to take his place next year. Few times did he allow any opposing center to get the tip-off, and with Ashbrook, he made the opponent ' s basket a far away hoop. Was named on the All-Buckeye this year. Horace English — Hawk stepped into the limelight at Wesleyan, when his two baskets in the latter part of the game gave the Big Red the one point victory. He is one of the three sophomore letter men who will form the nucleus for next year ' s team. His shooting and floor work are above par. Burr Owens — Burr ' s ready relief work helped save many a game when the regulars were tired. Going into the game in the last few minutes. Burr always had the drive necessary to a good reserve, and he should have a big year next season. He is fast on the floor, and handles the ball well. English, Forward Owens, Guard [251] Homberger, Fouvard Douglas, Forivard Paul Homberger — After serving as a capable relief man for the most of the season Mutt came into his own in the last two games. Going into the Wesleyan game with four seniors, he gave a splendid account of himself, and was a decided factor in bringing the championship to Granville. In the last game, when Oberlin held the lead at the half. Mutt blazed out with seventeen points, and put the game on ice for the Big Red. Maxwell Douglas — After a year away from the Big Red uniform Max returned this year to round out his basketball history with the champions. He stepped into his old position at forward and proceeded to drop them in from either corner with his old time skill. Max was hot in the Wooster game and gave the fans a thrill when he dropped in eight baskets from the field. His team play was good through- out the season, and his ability to handle the ball is not a common thing. Manager Ralph Pearson — Managing a championship team is some job, and Ralph did that thing in an able and business-like way. The publicity that he was able to give the Big Red was valuable, and his service in every way was excellent. Pearson, Manager [252 ] Freshman Basketball Squad Owens, O ' Brien, Johnson. Robinson. Rogers, Deeds, Steadman, Rettig, Flory. Capt. Bliss. ■ The Freshman squad of the past year uncovered a number of men who will undoubtedly aid Livy in bolstering up his championship team which was wrecked by the graduation of several regulars. Coach Jenkins worked early and late with the yearling prospects and has developed a few individuals who will be heard from next year on the varsity.

Denison ended in fifth place in the Buckeye Athletic Association. The team started off with a rush, defeating Ohio Wesleyan ' s highly touted nine in an extra-inning game, 9-6. Denison, led by Captain Curry and France, slugged the ball to all parts of the outfield. The next week the Wooster jinx could not be denied. Boles ' men piled up 20 runs in the massacre, Denison ' s fielders making 8 errors. Blough, Wooster ' s twirling ace, was the star of the game. On April 28, the Big Red went into undisputed first place in the association by walloping the Ohio University outfit 9-2, at Athens. Yoakum was master of the Ohio batters at all times and further distinguished himself by collecting two hits. Wittenberg conquered the Big Red at Springfield by an 8-3 score. The infield had an off day making 6 errors. Russell led the Denison attack with two triples. The powerful Bearcat nine dedicated the new baseball field by shutting out the Big Red 7-0. After six scoreless innings Yoakum weakened and allowed the first run to be driven in. From then on Cincinnati showed itself superior. Moore played the most creditable ball for Denison, taking Russell ' s place behind the bat in fine style. A belated Miami rally in the eleventh inning brought about the downfall of the Big Red at Oxford, May 15. Up to that time Yoakum had the best of the pitching duel, allowing only five hits. France, Captain Curry, Moore and Prosser played the best games for Denison. On May 13 Denison suffered a second defeat at the hands of Cincinnati. Jen- kins used three pitchers in an effort to stem the tide of runs. Captain Curry ' s un- assisted double play was the feature of the game. After the cancellation of the Wooster game on account of rain, the Big Red tackled Miami again, this time at home. In another thrilling overtime contest the Oxford nine annexed a 7-4 decision. Prosser starred for the Big Red, and the performance of Benson, Denison ' s one-armed twirler, was most creditable. On May 25 Denison pulled the game out of the fire in the last inning, beating Ohio University 9-8. Moore was the star of the game, knocking a home run with the bases full in the ninth. In the last two games of the season, Wittenberg and Ohio Wesleyan bested the Big Red in close games. [ 256 ] i Jenkins — Once on the bases, Butts can usually be counted on for a tally. He played second base and led the team in number of runs scored. France — Led his team-mates in pilfered sacks. Was a good hitter and excel- lent base runner. He played three years of varsity ball and was captain his junior year. Yoakum — Captain elect and a pitcher who deserves a second or third once over. Carmi is a portsider and has a bewildering delivery. Has one more year to play. Benson — Known throughout Ohio colleges as the Denison ' s one armed hurler. Has good control and a tempting curve ball. Will end his diamond career next season. Yoakum Pitcher Benson Pitcher : - 0 [ 258 ] x Prosser Third Base Owens Field Owens — Played center field and did some good work with the stick. Any fly balls coming into Herbie ' s territory were considered in the well. Prosser — Cy is the Tyrus Raymond Cobb of the Denison outfit. He holds down third base to perfection, runs the sacks well, and has the actions of a born ball player. DePuy — Played errorless ball in right field and was runner up for batting honors with a .308 average. He has one more year to play. Russell — This hefty catcher led the team in batting with an average of .385 He played the whole season with but two errors and looks good at the same position for another year. DePuy Field Russell Catcher V ! [259 ] I Swanson Field Moore Field-Catcher Swanson — Made his letter playing left field. His specialty was securing walks, and for this reason he held the lead off position most of the season. Moore — Although regularly a fielder, he could perform in the infield, as a pitcher or a catcher. Bill was Denison ' s Casey at the bat in the Ohio game, when he knocked a home run in the ninth with the bases loaded. Manager Perkins — Cy was right there when it came to supplying the needs of the players. He handled the managerial reins with satisfaction and pleasure to every one.

[261] Track Review The Big Red track team, suffering two defeats in three dual meets, experienced one of the most disastrous seasons in years. Lack of condition and injuries were greatly responsible for the setbacks. It cannot be denied, however, that Case and Cincinnati were represented by better balanced teams. In the first meet of the 1926 season, at Wooster, the Baptists carried off a 76 to 55 victory. Heinrichs on the hurdles was outstanding although several sopho- mores placed among the leaders. Among these were Huff and Barth in the sprints and Carpenter and Trepass in the pole vault. Cincinnati came here and managed to pull off a win over the Denison thin- clads. Until the last few events both teams were running neck and neck in the scoring but Allen, Cincinnati sport star, spelled defeat in large words for the home delegation. Score: Cincy 69; Denison 62. Case, heralded as a strong contender for the Ohio Conference championship, overwhelmed the Big Red 82 to 49 on Deeds field. Mother ' s Day. The Engineers copped a large majority of firsts while Denison had to be content with thirds and an occasional second. Again Heinrichs was high point man for the Big Red, show- ing up exceptionally well on both the low and high hurdles. Denison placed fourth in the Buckeye Athletic Association meet held last year at Cincinnati. Behan was the Denison luminary and copped a first in the high jump. Heinrichs looked good on the hurdles. Carpenter placed second in the pole vault. Nelson Grube took a second in the broad jump in his first varsity track meet. Denison placed seventh in the Ohio conference meet at Oberlin with 9% points. Heinrichs tripped on the high hurdles while leading the field. In spite of his painful injuries he came back in the low hurdles and limped across the line for a fourth place. Behan tied for second in the high jump. Barth garnered a third in the 100 yard dash. Carpenter was the only Denison man to place in the Ohio relays during the early part of the season, taking a second in a classy array of pole vaulters. [ 262 ] I Heinrichs Hurdles Heinrichs — Was probably the most valuable man on the Denison crew last year, scoring a total of 33 points. He starred in both the low and high hurdles. Behan— Was an all around track man. Pole vault, high jump and broad jump events, won two track letters for him. Freddie scored 18 points during the season with first and seconds in his three events. Kadon — Second high scorer for the 1926 track season with 24 points. His long suit was the weights, also amassing his points in the javelin and discus. Nicholson — Long distance man. Nick did his best work in the mile and two mile, often running them in succession. He holds the college record for the half mile with a time of two minutes, three and one-half seconds. Kadon [264 ] i Pence 440 Yard Dash Armstrong W Yard Dash Pence — Fitted in wherever needed. Jerry could step rather lively on the relay team, clear the hurdles in good fashion, or sprint a fast 440 with equal ease. Armstrong — Another fleet dash man. Army did his best work in the 880 yard run and ran second man on the relay team. He has one more year to compete. HuTCHiNS — Has a hefty right arm and uses it to good advantage in the weight events. He throws the discus and javelin, and does a mighty fine job of putting the shot. One more year with the team. Barth — Rated as the third fastest man in Ohio colleges last year. Bosco excels in the 100 and 220 yard dashes and gathered 19% points in these events. Will be with us two more years. -- •- 4 [ 265 ] 1 Carpenter Pole Vault Trepees Pole Vault 1 Carpenter — Denison ' s best bet in the pole vault. Carp has hnproved re- markably in his first year of competition and is expected to vault higher in his remaining two years. He holds both indoor and outdoor records in his event. Trepees — Quite agile in clearing the pole vault bar at extraordinary heights. He is running mate with Carpenter for pole vault honors, having held the indoor record for one year until surpassed by his teammate. Manager Crawford — Ira thought of the team before himself, taking care that everything was in proper shape for the best performance of the track men. Crawford [ 266 ] MINOR SPORTS Teimis Swimming Cross Comntry Wrestlieg letra MiLirals Minor sports at Denison were augmented by the addition of wrestling and swimming teams to the list of inter-collegiate competitions. In this field of athletic competition, the various teams were not so successful in downing their opponents as were the teams in the major sports. With the exception of the tennis team, which had a fairly successful season, none of the minor sports teams broke even in victories and defeats. The existence of the Buckeye Athletic Association makes it possible for these teams to meet only the stronger representatives of their sport in the state. This group is fostering a revival of interest in minor sports and its constructive program is doing much good work among its members. [26? ] Teneis Captain Howe — Made a fighting leader. At times he was unbeatable and van- quished only by the strongest foes. Larry played an excellent and steady game, and was good at back court or net. He excels in a hard overhead service and has some reliable ground strokes. Berger — Made his bow among the clay court artists and played a creditable style of tennis. Rus was a streak player and was steady and heavy in the doubles. Has two more years. Richardson — One who turned in wins or forced his opponents in every match. Pick covered the whole court and was reliable on the return. He turned in more victories than any other man on the team and should be steady next year. Has two more campaigns. Wolfe — Was a steady, dependable player. He had an excellent forehand and was outstanding at court play. Finished up his last year of conference tennis, always giving a good account of himself.

Denison made quite a splash in Buckeye A. A. when the swimming team copped third place in the meet held in Columbus. In a meet with Ohio Wesleyan at Delaware the tank team lost by a 40 to 19 score. This year ' s team was composed entirely of under classmen, so with one year ' s experience they should do very good in next year ' s aquatic events. Earl Ellis served as instructor. Members of the team were: Groesbeck, Stevens, and E. Ellis. A. Gregory, M. Ellis, Kashiwagi, Nishio, I Cross Coiantry Coach McMahon, Evans, Finley, Rogers, Melick, Powell. From the standpoint of victories the cross country season was anything but a success, but Coach McMahon has developed some promising under- classmen and a good season is being looked forward to for next year. The meet with Ohio U. was the closest one of the campaign, with the Green and White harriers winning by a single point. Cincinnati and Muskingum both bested the Denison team by a 21 to 34 count. At the Buckeye Athletic Association meet held in Delaware, the Big Red scored 110 points to emerge in last place. [ 270 ] Wrestling Gregory, Truelson, Haidet, Dawson, Ellison, Melick. The Denison wrestling team stepped out in intercollegiate circles with two matches with Ohio Wesleyan and the Buckeye Athletic Association meet at Ohio University. For the first year of competition, the Big Red grapplers made a very good • showing against their more experienced opponents. Sid Jenkins coached the team and did very good work with the inexperienced material. Denison 1 8 Ohio Wesleyan 23 Denison 13 Ohio Wesleyan 18 B. A.

[271] 1 % 1 1 1 1 1 1 • i Intra Murals | Lively interest has been shown all year in Intra-mural athletics, and this is W probably one of the reasons that Denison has a wealth of athletic material. Two new Ka intra-mural sports were added to the list this year, wrestling and swimming. M The Juniors won the inter-class outdoor track meet last spring with 68% points. H The Sophomores were runners-up with 67% points. The class of ' 29 was third m with 48. Losing to the sophomores, the freshmen were required to wear their caps m the remainder of the year. Heinrichs was high point man. O The class of ' 29 won the indoor meet this year with 40% points. The Frosh were second with 37 points. P The Commons Club won the outdoor inter-group track meet last spring with H 46 points; Beta Theta Pi was second with 23 and Kappa Sigma placed third with □ 19. The Betas nosed out the Kappa Sigs in the last two events. N The Sophomores easily defeate d the freshmen in the annual basketball clash N this year 32 to 14 and won the class championship. ' 29 was last year ' s winner. N The Freshmen won the speedball championship from the sophomores by a N forfeit. DJ Kappa Sigma copped first honors in the inter-group volleyball league last spring, M defeating the Commoners in the finals. Kg Phi Gamma Delta won first place in the Playground league last spring by defeating the Betas in the final game. The Commons Club took four firsts in the wrestling meet held in Cleveland K] hall this winter and copped first honors. Sigma Alpha Epsilon was second with gJ two firsts. H Beta Theta Pi easily copped the swimming honors with 33 points. The Com- M mons Club was second with 23 points. Ellis was high point man in the tank events. RQ Phi Gamma Delta stands as undisputed basketball champions, winning both M the major and minor league championships in the finals from the Commons Club and Kappa Sigma respectively. P I 272 I Shepardson Athletics It is hard to do justice in words to the most successful year the W ' omen ' s Athletic Association has ever seen. Too much praise cannot be given to the president of the organization. Dottie has been just perfect — she has worked hard, made us all love her for her sweet, diplomatic way of handling things, and given W. A. A. a great big boost. Dottie ' s ability as a leader with the co-operation of Miss Barr, Miss Badenoch and Miss Boland is the real secret of a wonderful year. After the board was elected last spring they went on a house-party at Eagle Farm for a week end. At this time they outlined the year ' s program for the association. It is hoped that this will become a custom in the future because it gives the board unity through friendship as well as a good time to plan future work. The board has held regular meetings every Thursday night throughout the school year. A great deal of credit also goes to Mary Scarritt, social chairman for the association. The social program was carried off without a flaw. It was started in the spring with Bacon Bat at Spring Valley which was very successful. At the end of the spring sport season a big spring Field Day was held, which lasted all day. Luncheon was served to all of Shepardson College out on the campus. Tbis,Jielped to add to the spirit of the occasion. That night a fare- well to the seniors was given. Decorations resembled those of a Japanese Tea Garden and corsages were presented to the seniors. In the fall, as is the custom, we had our Senior-Freshman Bacon Bat, and over two hundred girls attended. The next was a Hallowe ' en party held in the gym. The Christmas party transformed the gym into Ye Old Tavern and a medieval Christmas dinner was served. The procession of the Boar ' s Head entered carrying roast pork on large platters singing carols as they came. The banquet concluding the winter sport season was held on March 30 and at this time all letters and awards were given. This concluded the best season W. A. A. ' s social program has ever seen. The association conducted a health campaign lasting five weeks. During this time health charts were kept at least 95% perfect by all those girls who wished to earn SO points. Shirley Armstrong, medical advisor to the women of Ohio State University, addressed the girls on the subject of Health. This was followed by two other health talks given by the athletic instructors. Denison ' s board was entertained by the association at Ohio State at their annual winter banquet, and it is hoped that the two organizations may be able to work together in the future. W. A. A. is sending four delegates to the A. C. A. C. W. Conference at Cornell in April where they hope to get many new ideas to help them in their work for the new year. Dorothy Darrow [ 273 ] I Miss Barr, who is completing her third year as head of the Women ' s Athletic Department needs no introduction. Since she has been with us she has made her department one of the most pro- gressive and up to date departments on the campus. Her ever ready wit and satire keeps the girls on their toes whether applied in a basketball game or at a board meeting. Although on the surface she seems to be all business and efficiency we have found that these qualities are combined with a generous amount of humor which makes her a true friend to all those who enter the gym. Because of continued progress and never tiring stream of new ideas more enthusiasm has been instilled into gym work and the activities of the Women ' s Athletic Association than ever before. Miss Barr Miss Badenoch ' s part in the gym is symbolic of everything beautiful and artistic. Through her ability the bareness of Doane gym is often changed into a perfect fairyland and has even taken on the appearance of Ye Old Tavern. She has created a new and worthwhile branch of the gym department not only felt by girls but by the whole university. Through her efforts the May Day festivities and the crowning of the May Queen proved to be the best ever presented at Denison. Her charming personality, artistic ability and enthusiasm makes her more of a friend than an in- structor. Miss Badenoch Miss Boland ' s cheerful chuckle has led more than one girl to an accurate knowledge of swimming. She has been on the Denison campus only a year, being graduated from Wellesley in 1926. She has conducted classes in clogging and tumbling, intro- duced for the first time this year, and has refereed all the girls ' basketball games. Miss Boland, followed by her faithful little dog Fuzzer is a familiar sight on Shepardson campus. She is a popular person on the campus and completes the third side of the triangle — Barr-Badenoch-Boland. in the girls gym department.

Each girl was eiEcient in her line and willing to support the president in every project. A new chair has been added to the board for next year for a representative of dancing because of the prominent place this activity has made for itself.

The letters are worn on white flannel blazers. Jean Gordon and Dorothy Darrow are the only girls in school who have won the highest award, the red D , and fifteen girls are wearing the black D . A girl winning a D award must have good scholarship, activities on the campus, and have earned her points in at least three different sports. 1276 ] The individual tennis tournament held this fall was won by Margaret Carspecken. Margie didn ' t come to Denison until her sophomore year but she brought with her the title of tennis champion of Wellesley so it takes a good game to beat her. Margaret Carspecken Temeis Team Helen Perkinson, Virginia D. Wilson, Jean Gordon, Margaret Carspecken. The regular inter-class tournaments were held in the spring and ended giving first place to the class of 1929. Individual tournaments in the fall completed a successful season. The class of ' 29 won the track events on Field Day with Katy Darrow and Dot Exman the high point winners. Jumping against an unusually high wind Katy came within two inches of breaking the national record for one of the broad jumps, thus setting a new record for Denison. [ 279 ] [280] [281] Basketball Team ' ..J. J Belty Price. Alice Leupin, Helen Hodell. Dorothy Perry, Margaret Williams, Dorothy Darroiv. Basketball proved to be the most popular sport of the winter season. Inter-dormitory games were played as well as inter-class games, giving the honors to the Town team and the class of 1929. The annual Yale-Harvard game finished the season with a hard fought battle ending in favor of Yale. The Yale team was composed of: Margaret Williams, Betty Price, Dorothy Darrow, Helen Hodell, Alice Leupin, Jean Ebaugh. Members of the Harvard team were: Marie Maunus, Mildred Smith, Dorothy Perry, Florence Kramer, Virginia S. Wilson, Ellen Rohrer.
