A , , t a 55258 B RC Q H y D i A Word From The Juniors . HE l9l4 Orange and Black is published in the first year of President Wil- son's administration, which promises to be a record breaker in one thing at least, the overthrow of old established precedents. Catching the spirit of the age in which we live, the class of I9l4 has endeavored to publish an Annual which will be different from any other ever published in Des Moines College. To accomplish this we have been forced to break down a few time-honored precedents of years gone by: but we feel that, for anything we have been compelled to leave out on account of a lack of space, we have introduced features which far surpass these. It has been our aim to make our bcok one that should depict college life as it is found in Des Moines College, and especially as il was during the past year, and we believe that nothing tells the story so completely or so interestingly as do pictures. Gov- erned to a great extent by this conviction we have doubled the number of engravings over those in previous Annuals and through our staff photographer are able to offer you views of Des Moines College which will aid materially in bringing to your mind the various events and scenes in and near Des Moines College. We are also deeply indebted to our president, Dr. John A. Earl, for his enthusiastic support of our undertaking. We have looked through the various Annuals published by this school and others and have obtained many valuable suggestions from them. But we have endeavored, in so far as it was possible, to make these ideas our own. In other words, it has been our aim to make the l9l4 Orange and Black original and unique, and to give to the students, the alumni and the friends of Des Moines College a real souvenir of the Col- lege year. g..:Exs.55Ge.kx - Eouicieexxa

'I WE. walked through the wilderness of this' world, we came upon a certain Nl T place where was a college. And we tamed in that place, as pilgrims llwgyfvxf searching the mysteries of knowledge, that we might improve the intellects g of ourselves and those about us. Our first acquaintance in that place was l T 5 with one called Helpful, who guided us out of the slough of Despond and assisted us through the Wicket Gate of Entrie. There were twenty-two of us in that band. And we were stronglie united in purpose, and in the fear of one known as Hypocracie, who himself was onlie recentlie come into that countrie, and who was much convinced of his own importance. But after he had been ducked in the foun- tain, and our colors had floated unmolested from the pinnacle of the Temple, our fear of Hypocracie took wing, and we laughed him to scorn. Later it was that there came upon our College a band of Worldlie Wisemen. They thought to take the land by storm, but their hap was to meet our band in the way, and we fell into violent conflict, from which Worldlie Wiseman emerged a sadder and a Wiser man. He was buried in mockerie, ridiculed in song, and fairlie overcome at everie turn. His songs and yells, in some mysterious fashion, found their way into our midst and were used by us to his great chagrin. But as we journeyed on we came at last upon young Hopeful, who proved a most inspiring companion in our pilgrimage. Following our example, he continued to keep Worldlie Wiseman in his proper place, and in all things showed himself a worthy mem- ber of our College. Since o'ertaking him we have had a pleasant, though strenuous journie. It has fallen to us to write of all our conHicts, and of the doings of Hypocracie, Worldly Wiseman, Hopeful, Helpful, and others of our knowledge. These writings we shall leave behind as we pass into the Celestial Citie. Q- aiueekeem - 'E otktfieexxa
