M. NUSBAUM, B. si M. D. Dr. N usbaum, who is president of the Board of Trustees, and who has always been one of the most zealous supporters of Buena Vista College. His fidelity to its interests has been equaled by very few. The doctor is a graduate of the Northern Indiana University 'and of the Northwestern University Medical college. He has also studied in the Universities of Johns Hopkins, Berlin an'd Vienna. He enjoys one of the largest and most lucrative practices of medicine in northwestern Iowa. He is also president of the school board of Storm Lake, and is assiduously assisting in promoting the educational advan- tages of Storm Lake. I - .. I . I ! -M .. ... 5 W 1 THE ORIGIN OF BUENA VISTA COLLEGE A deep love for the Master, a devotion to the Presbyterian Church, and a keen interest in the highest welfare of young men and young women, led the Rev. J. C. Gilkerson, pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Calliope Cnow Hawardenj, to thoughts of the possibility of a Presbyte- rian Academy in that' town. After consulting with the session, it was decided to purchase a build- ing, hire one teacher and open the school. We quote the following from the Indpendent of 1883: The acad- emy at this place will open the first Mon. in Oct., with Mrs. J. C. Nash as teacher. Then the week following this: The academy opened Mon- day with a fair attendance of students. A number of Scholarships have been subscribed, and not yet filled. Any one desiring information in regard to the academy should call on Rev. J. C. Gilkersonf' The opening date then, was October first, 1883. The fair attendance of students, about sixteen. But excellent work was done under the teaching of Mrs. Nash. The following year such progress was made under Professor Weaver's leadership that the promoters of the school de- cided to place it under the care of the Presbytery. But, upon application, it was deemed advisable by that body to secure a more central location, Calliope being located on the western line of the state. Accordingly, it was removed to Fort Dodge where it remained for some time, prior to its final establishment at Storm Lake. A Mr. Wm. McClure was one of the Elders that considered the opening of this school in 1883. He died at the home of' his daughter in Missouri, January 29, 1912. For the deep interest, love and welfare of Buena Vista'College, Mrs. W. C. Perkins of Churdan, Ia., requested Mrs. Mae Gilkerson of Castana, Ia., wife of the originator of this grand school at Storm Lake, to write this article concerning its early history. Rev. Gilkerson was a former pastor of Churdan Presbyterian Church and laid down his work at that place being called to his reward, having fought a good fight, finished his course and received his crown with rejoicing which was given him by the right Judge on that day. 7-W ' M ILLER-STUART. I HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE The college is situated in the southwest part of the city overlooking the lake which is about two blocks from the campus. The college is five blocks West and two south of Main street, about ten minutes' Walk. The main building was built in the summer of 1892. It is situated in the center of the campus facing south on an eminence of ground that gives it an imposing appearance. A fine view of the lake can be had from the building. From the upper windows, Alta, six miles distant, can be seen. This is the central building and the one in which all the recitations are held. - The Ladies' Hall is in the block east of the campus and faces the West. It is a frame building providing rooms for about thirty young ladies, and has a large dining room which is used by the club for both young ladies and young men. Q PARK SCENE. The Music Hall is in the same block with the Ladies' Hall and north of it. There are four studios in it, besides three practice rooms upstairs and three living rooms down stairs, making a very commodious building for the purpose. The Miller-Stuart House is the next house north in the same block and is used by the President of the College. It is the gift of Mrs. Lois Stuart of Audubon, and Rev. Miller of Des Moines, and makes a Very comfortable home for our President. PUBLIC LIBRARY. The Public Library is a Carnegie gift to the town and is situated one block east of Main street and about fifteen minutes' Walk from the College. It is a nice looking building designed and built by local con- tractors, and is Well furnished With books and literature of all kinds. V The Presbyterian Church is on' the corner of Fourth and Cayuga streets five blocks east from the College Campus. Nearly all of the stu- dents attend here because of the fact that it is the denomination of the College. ' E Across the street west and on the same corner is the Methodist Epis- copal Church, a fine modern brick structure. The main auditorium will seat about four or five hundred people and contains a pipe organ. The building was built a few years ago by Park Bros. The lake is one of the most attractive features of the city and Col- lege. It is about five miles long and two wide at the widest point. In the spring and summer and fall it affords great enjoyment to those who like canoeing, rowing, swimming and picnicking. In the winter ice boat- ing and skating adds to the students' enjoyment of college life. At'Chautauqua Point is the park given over to the chautauqua uses and is known by that name. West Park is about four blocks west of Chautauqua Park and is given over wholly for recreation and pleasure. The two parks afford ample room for the people to enjoy themselves during the summer weather. GREATER BUENA VISTA Q-ij, The time has come when we must think S of Buena Vista in larger terms than in the ' past. Any school to meet the demands of U the present must grow not only in members 1' in-. Eh' but in facultyg also in buildings and equip- rumm ment. In this volume you will find a cut of Elf. E.: .4 what some day we hope to see on the campus S in the way of buildings for future student 5 2 bodies to enjoy. 'if 'gf Greater Buena Vista will have at least 500 e gi students. This is possible. We have set E U our mark for next year at 300 and we are in a fair way to see this realized. We want a Freshman class of 35. The institution must have a better heating plant for next year. This must ' come. It is impossible to keep the rooms comfortable in such extreme . weather as we have here in north- western Iowa with the present heat- ing plant. The present plant wastes G , SFCOH S72 - lb- ali Pr lil, nutf- ' , LAK' ,-,.,- , Mia.: aff' fuel. There could be a saving of .faeff-ff-fFf4 from 350.00 to 3100.00 in fuel each - LAKE year. Greater Buena Vista will have the following buildings: A Science Hall fully equipped for all advanced workg a Library building to meet the needs of the Collegeg a chapel in which all our religious services shall be held and shall be the center of all our re- ligious life. A new Ladies' Hall fully equipped and completely modern. A gym up-to-date, in which the physical side of the college life shall be fully cared for. Greater Buena Vista will have at least eight chairs endowed with an endowment of not less than 325,000.00 each. The Library shall be so equipped as to meet the needs for all re- search on the part of students. The College will have an endowment .of 3500,000.00 so placed on a good firm financial basis. These things are not merely of the imagination but are a possibility. I believe that the many friends of the College will rally to the support of the 'institution and make these things mentioned above a reality. ' Ten years from the present date I see some graduates coming back to visit old friends. They think that while in town they will go out and see the old College. As they go out to the College addition they marvel at the change. Corning to the campus they think for a moment it is all a dream, but when hands are pressed against real cement, stone and brick and the reality of a complete campus is forced upon their minds, they know then that the dreams, the prayers, the struggles and labors of past years have borne a rich harvest. So might it be. 5 QCXJL S ,V N-' gf' Q:-I .r ...I-AJ il ri-51' W flvwum 1 'Reach f -Ei' N, Ji., its - 1 ,Pj f F ' i Y-,- E. FOREST BLAYNEY, A. M. Ph. D. Philosoyolzqy and Political Science.

' 'PINAFOREU One of the most unique and varied attractions ever presented to a Storm Lake audience from the stage was presented by the Junior Class on Monday evening, March 25. The nature of the play was a comic opera from the humoristic, senti- mental and satirical standpoint and was certainly never equaled by ame- teur actors. Every song, paragraph, or line was directly a take-off on the old fashioned art of searnanship in the British navy and the snobbery connected therewith. From the arrangement of the characters to the timely setting of the music, it presented a whole. The story of the play centers around an able seaman on board the warship, Pinafore, Ralph Rackstraw. He loves the daughter of his cap- tain. Josephine is also sought in marriage by a very pompous and over- bearing personage, Sir Joseph Porter: The Portsmouth Woman finally reveals a secret that she one was the nurse of Captain Cochoran and Rackstraw. The secret was that she had changed the captain and Rack- straw when children and the captain's position was really Ralph's. Jose- phine's love for the poor sailor before his true position is shown is brought to light which causes her father, the Captain, much anger and indignation. Rackstraw finally gets his sweetheart's hand, which is spurned by Sir Joseph Porter because of her lowly position, and is made rightful captain of the ship. Sir Joseph, with his crowd of lady attend- ants, and Captain Cochoran, with his sailors, form a contrast which makes a ridiculous and laughable setting for the play. The characters are suited exactly for a comic effect. Sir Joseph Por- ter, auconceited old ruler, Captain Cochoran, a dignified yet well beloved commander, Rackstraw, an eloquent earnest suitorg Josephine, the true heroine, the boatswain, a practical all around seamang Cousin Hebe, a strange yet lovable characterg Buttercup, the Portsmouth saleswoman and nurse, and Dick Deadeye, the villian, makes one continuous round of va- riety. : . ' t N f , , This play is composed by Gilbert and Sullivan, the words being by Gilbert and the music from the great English composer, Arthur Sullivan, is a guarantee of value worthy of note. Its success on New York and Chicago stages by star actors witnesses its popularity. This play was undertaken and presented by the Junior Class for the benefit of the 1913 Rudder. Although the task was a large one, by the assistance of the Freshmen, they were able to cope with its minute and complicated arrangements. The talent bound up in this class, the Juniors, is varied and of wide range, and in their presentation of this comic, opera, each was placed and did prove his abilities along his particular line.

Presicient of the Alumni Association. - GREETING FROM THE ALUMNI 1 In June, 1893, Buena Vista sent forth her first graduate. Probably no other alumnus has been the object of more fervent hopes and wishes of success than that first graduate. For ten years following 1893 only Freshman and Sophomore work was offered and so the first graduate had no successors until 1904. Since that year, however, forty young men and young women have received their diplomas and become a part of the busy world. They have been scattered far and wide in those few years, from the Philippines in the west to Princeton in the east, from Canada in the north to New Mexico in the south, and yet the distance can not make them forget the sacrifices and the ideals of the Alma Mater. Those gifts have become too significant in their lives to be forgotten. And so, from near and far, the Alumni wish to send greetings to Buena Vista, to express their appreciation of all she has meant to them in the past, and to wish for unbounded success in the future. I REVERIES OF AN ALUMNUS Was it a dream I dreamed last night? Was it a fancy, unreal, untrue? Was it only a fleeting phantom of sight That flits thru the mind when the day is thru? Was it simply a vision that fairies paint, Tinted with colors that burn and glow? Was it only the fairies of the dreamland quaint That go to their toil when the sun is low? I saw them again as they used to be, Strong and sturdy with laugh, and long Their Voices blended in joyous glee, And We roamed together the Whole day long, Side by side, as in days of yore, And hearts were true and the spirits bold. Was it- a vision of dreamland's store? Was it a tale that the fairies told? Often at dusk when the sun is low, And the stars appear in the dome of blue, And the embers of memory flash and glow, ' And the western sky is a brilliant hue, When the darkness sweeps over land and sea, And the breezes sigh' and the night is cold, I long for the faces that used to be, 4 And the laugh and song of the days of old. OUR PRESIDENT 'Tis not the man who lives in dreams from day to day Nor the man who thinks he knows the way, But the man who makes his dreams concrete, And knows he knows, is the man we love to meet. 'Tis not the man who makes a mark at which to aim And then finds out that he has no gun to shoot, But the man who builds from the ground to greet A foundation, stoutly made, in itself complete. 'Tis not the man who preaches what he does for man, Nor the man who tries to reach an end without a plan, But the' man who does things and let them tell the tale, Is the man,Awho, leading us, can never fail. And leading -us at present is the man we chose, The man who started in with first things and then arose, To meet the tasks which daily rise like spectres to o'erWhelm, With true and loyal, steadfast mind, he grips the helm. And in him then we put our trust and faith and with him work For he, we know has power nor does procrastination in him lurk To him due honor and assistance give, for to success e're bent And rest assured our goal will reach, with him our guide-our President. -J . L. LINDSEY Eitvrarg THE EXPERIMENT OF WILLYS VERN St. Evens college received its name by accident. When the college was started a man had endowed it with enough money to pay its ex- penses for all time provided it grew no larger. The man's name was Stevens but in writing his name the first e was mistaken for a capi- tal and hence the name St. Evans. The man who had so abundantly en- dowed the little college had never been known to visit it and the college itself never seemed to outgrow the building in which it started but this fact never impaired the efficiency of its graduates who were admitted without hesitation into the large universities. ' St. Evans college was located on a little knoll overlooking a lake of sparkling water reflecting the blue sky above it in its clear depths. So far as any one knew there were places in it where the bottom could not be found. There were no streams flowing into this lake and it is sup- posed that the water came from underground springs. On the last occa- sion when some one tried to sound the deepest places, undercurrents in- terfered with the descending line so that no readings could be taken-but that is not my story. It was in the year 1898. The fall term of school had just opened and a noisy crowd of students were standing in the halls talking and laugh- ing before the bell rang for chapel. The summer vacation was over and all were glad to get back to the old familiar surroundings, to stroll again over the campus and meet their classmates within the dear old halls where they had spent so many happy hours together. Every one had enrolled the day before. I and my chum, Frank Winsor, had been com- paring our study schedules. That was only a waste of time, however, for we always took the same studies and comparison was unnecessary. We were going halvers on books, and had just decided which books each of us should buy when the bell in the tower above rang for chapel. The whole student body was soon assembled in the chapel. It was here that the best opportunity was offered to see the number enrolled. I had met nearly all the students, I thought, but looking back over the crowd I saw one whom I had not seen before. He was a young fellow, slightly built with a pale, but handsome and intellectual face. I do not know why it was, but I felt singularly attracted to this stranger I had not met. It seemed to me that I had seen him before but Where or when I could not tell. Order was called and the customary remarks for open- ing chapel were made followed by an address of welcome by the president. We were then dismissed for the rest of the morning. - As soon as chapel was over I looked for the stranger I had seen but try as I would I could not find him. I saw him every morning after that at chapel but was unsuccessful every time in trying to locate him after- ward. Along towards the last of the week I happened to step into the laboratory late in the afternoon. I was looking for my chum, Frank. All had left the laboratory except one. Someone was working in the farthest corner back of the desk next to the cabinet. I hurried toward him thinking it might be Frank, but I could not imagine what on earth he could be working at so late-something unheard of in my knowledge of my chum. I reached the cabinet when the person looked up. It was the young fellow I had been so long wishing to see. I was unprepared, however, to meet him unexpectedly. I hardly knew what to say. I finally stammered some apology and hastily retreated. In my surprise, how- ever, I had not neglected to notice that the young man's desk was covered with a system of glass tubes and condensers. I had taken chemistry the year before but I could not remember of any experiment that called for such an array of apparatus as I had seen. At least, I knew one thing, I now knew where I could find him. The next day I stopped in the class room a few minutes to talk with the chemistry professor. He said in an- swer to my questions that the young man's name was Willys Vern. He had enrolled in several scientific studies including the most advanced chemistry which consisted of laboratory work which had never been taught before in the college. After that it was not so hard to find Mr. Vern, so one afternoon I stopped in to get acquainted. He had, as I said before, a pale, but hand- some and intellectual face which was singularly attractive. I found him at his desk. This time he was not engaged in an experiment, but scatter- ed over his table were a pile of papers on which he had been figuring. I introduced myself, telling him who I was and what studies I was taking. See here, Vern, I said, you are working too hard. Pointing to the desk I continued: It's only the beginning of the year and it's all foolish- ness to dig in that way. He smiled rather wearily at the papers and I rattled on. Just think of it, old man, here we have had two literary so- ciety receptions and you have missed the whole thing. You can't afford to lose these opportunities to get acquainted with the rest of the fellows. You are missing half your college life when you cut out the social side. He smiled again at my earnestness and then looking at his work and said in a mellow voice slightly marked with a southern accent: I love it so much. I glanced at his papers more closely and saw that they were covered on both sides with chemical formulas. Oh, ha, I understand, I replied, but, see here, old chap, you can't afford to kill yourself off with study just because you like it. You've got to take a little recreation. And then we chatted on, or rather I did, and he answering my questions as I gave him a chance. I then invited him to come to the Y. M. C. A. the next Wednesday evening at seven fifteen and he said he would come. The following Wednesday night I, Frank and Vern went to the Y. M. C. A. Frank liked him as well as I did and we made it our duty to see that he went to the different social affairs. He always went with us and seemed to like to have us come, but if we did not happen to stop there he would not come. Whenever We called, We always found him studying. He had no roommate, and that was the reason, we thought, for his lack of interest in outside affairs. He never laughed at our jokes and pranks. Some- times he would smile but it seemed to be rather forced than natural. Too much' study, I would exclaim to the other fellows when he was away. I do not mean to say, however, that he was not sociable. On the contrary, at times he showed a warm and generous heart beneath his retiring and somewhat sensitive nature. School went on as usual and we three became fast friends, as much as circumstance would permit. Vern attended our literary society but we could not get him to join. He said that perhaps he could not stay all the year and would not join on that account. That was all we could get him to say about it. In vain we used every argument we could think of but to no avail. Late in the Winter he said to me one evening, I am sorry to leave you fellows. You and Frank have treated me royally and I shall never forget it. I will have to go east for a few weeks but I will be back as soon as I can. I rather believe that a vacation won't hurt me anyway. I agreed with him, too surprised at first to say anything else, and wished him good luck. He left the next day on the east bound train. I rather missed him the first week. The next week I was so busy with a play which our class was going to give that I half forgot him. Along toward the last -of March I happened to step into the laboratory for some reason which I do not remember. As I opened the door I in- haled the strong odor of a peculiar gas. Thinking it was from an experi- ment sometime before, I opened the windows to let the gas out. It was late in the afternoon-nearly evening. I saw some one sitting in a chair leaning over withhis head on the arms of the table, overcome by the gas which I had discovered when I entered the room. On the desk to one side were several large condensers connected by glass tubes to a generator. I quickly picked up the person and carried him to the window. You can imagine my surprise when I found it was Vern. I had heard from him a few days before saying he would not be back before the next week. He soon became conscious and recognized me in a dazed sort of a way. How the deuce did you get here, Vern? I said, unable to conceal my astonishment. Wha-what-what's the matter? he stammered, arousing himself. Then glancing at his desk, notebook and table he said: Oh, I remember now, placing his hand to his head, confusedly. He got up and examined his experiment on the desk. One of the condensers had broken. He then explained to me why he had returned sooner than he had ex- pected. He had been called to New York on important business and had returned to get his books and other things before going. He came to the laboratory to get some of his note booksg there was one experiment which he wished to try again. In waiting for the experiment to work he sat down to complete his data, becoming drowsy and finally losing conscious- ness. When he awoke I was bending over him. The gas from the ex- periment had caused it, he said, and then he begged me earnestly to for- give him for not writing that he was coming. I felt sorry for the fellow and walked with him over to his room. I cannot be back to school until next year, but I will try to be back then, he said as I left him. His face seemed to be paler and had a hag- gard look that I had not seen before. It certainly could not be from study and I wondered what the trouble could be. I went home resolving to see Vern again in the morning before he went away. 1 The next morning I called at the house where Vern stayed. The maid informed me that Mr. Vern had been there the week before and had taken all his things away. They had not seen him. since that time. I hurried over to the laboratory. No one was there. I inquired of several people if they had seen Vern. No one had. I went down to the depot to see if he had left on an early train. I found out from the agent that he left on the midnight passenger. Apparently there was something he wished to keep secret. The sudden return of Vern, the removal of his things, his experiment in the laboratory, and his haste in leaving were all more than I could understand. Search as much as I would, could find no one else who had seen him and finally I gave it up in despair. :lr 211 rl: ' ak lk rl: 211 wk :lr ak :if ak ik A :lf School closed in June as usual. I had been selected as one of the delegates to the Y. M. C. A. convention in Geneva. As soon as the com- mencement exercises were over I left for Chicago where I would change trains to go to Geneva. I left Thursday afternoon and arrived in the city of Chicago the next morning at six. I had planned to stay with myuncle one day, and then go on the next morning. My uncle met me at the depot and took me to his office. I stayed in his office awhile and went over to the museum, returning in time to go to dinner. In the afternoon I went to the new city library which had been completed only a short time. I did not get back to the office until about five o'clock. I ascended the stairway and as I turned at the first landing, I almost ran into someone. I looked up. It was Vern. With an exclamation of recognition he then grasped my arm. Did you get my letter? he asked, and before I had time to answer he said: Come to my room and I will explain everything to you. He took me to his room which had been arranged as a study. We sat down at the table and he handed me a clipping from a newspaper which he had been reading. The clipping was this: 1 ONE THOUSAND MILES ON ONE BATTERY. A New York automobile company has just closed a contract with a young man from Chicago who claims to, have invented a storage battery which will furnish current for an ordinary elec- tric vehicle for one thousand miles. An automobile has been equipped with a set of the batteries and will be used to demon- strate the ,claims of the inventor. If they prove satisfactory, the company reserves the exclusive right of manufacturing the new battery at a fixed royalty. After I finished reading it, Vern told me how he came to St. Evans College for the purpose of experimenting on the new battery he had completed. I He explained to me how he had departed from the methods of all previous inventors of storage batteries and succeeded in obtaining a new electrolyte or solution for the batteries. He had taken various carbon- hydrates and disassociated the carbon and hydrogen ions and produced a battery that would give, instead of two volts, a hundred and twenty. He had increased the efficiency over six thousand per cent. The invention would revolutionize the mechanical world-a fancy which has turned the minds of many an inventor. Only half believing the claims he made for the invention, I watched him as he opened the door of a small safe, and draw out a polished oak box about nine inches square and as many inches high. Taking a small length of wire he fastened it to the binding post at one end of the battery. Then fastening the other end of the wire in the same manner to the binding post at the opposite end of the battery, he closed the switch. There was a blinding flash of light-the wire had be- come white hot then melted. The current continued to flow across the gap, making an arc, fully nine inches long. I-Ie opened the switch and the current was cut off. I could scarcely see anything for a while, the light had been so intense. I fancied that I could detect a peculiar odor but said nothing. I knew a little of electricity and its nature. The experiment fully convinced me of the terrific power within that little box and that it would do all that the inventor claimed for it. But why, I asked, did you leave St. Evans so soon the last time ? I will tell you, he whispered. Did you ever notice how the chemistry professor always watched my experiments? I had not. That was why I left in the first place. They were unsuccessful. I went back to St. Evens to find out what was lacking, and I did-it was the lake water. I have tried to find out what is in it that makes it successful but I can not. I hurried back to Washington to get the 'process' patented. The secret of the 'process' of making the electrolyte is sealed and deposited in the patent office at Washington, D. C. I looked at my watch. It was exactly six o'clock. I hastily bid Vern goodbye and promised to see him again on my return from Geneva. I found my uncle was waiting for me when I reached his office. We then hurried over to the elevated railway station where we took the train to home, six miles away in another part of the city. The next morning I left for Geneva which was only a few hours' ride from Chicago. I was soon there and from that time I was so taken up with the new surroundings that I forgot everything else. The next week found me back in Chicago. I met my uncle in his office busily engaged in some correspondence. I sat and picked up a paper, not wishing to disturb him. I-Ie saw me, however, and called me to him. , Say, he said, do you know that a strange thing happened in this building a few days after you left. There was a young fellow by the name of Vern, who had a room on the next floor, that was found in an unconscious condition in his room, overcome by a peculiar gas, that was in the room. He was taken to the hospital and since then he has dis- appeared, no one knows where and everything in his room has been taken. Without the knowledge of anyone I quickly left the office and went upstairs. Vern's room was absolutely bare of everything. Returning I told my uncle all that I knew. He laughed when I finished. Well, that explains it as well as anything. I-Ie has simply changed his location again. I have read of men who think they have made a valuable discovery and in trying to hide it they fancy that everyone is trying to learn their secret. This was only partially satisfactory to me. It was useless, if such was the case, to try to find Vern. When I returned home Frank was waiting for me at the depot. I was glad to see him, especially because I wanted to tell him what I had seen and heard concerning Vern. At the postoffice I found a letter wait- ing for me. I opened it and a newspaper clipping fell out. It read: NEW BATTERIES PROVE DANGEROUS. The new batteries which were tried out for the first time last week by the Eureka Automobile company of New York proved too dangerous to use. The car in which they were used rarrwell for nearly five hundred miles when the occupants 'in the back part of the car were found unconscious from the power of the battery. The new battery is extremely powerful but dan- gerous on account of its liability of arcing across the terminals causing intense heat and melting the lead plates. That was all. I put the' clipping back in the envelope. Since then I have heard nothing concerning Vern or his invention. Every once in a while I find myself looking over the newspapers hoping that I may find something. But I do not. Perhaps I may sometime see in large letters across some city newspaper the announcement of Vern's discovery, im- proved and perfected, and again meet Vern, not pale and haggard, but strong, vigorous and free from the care and worry of hiding his discovery which followed his first successful experiment.

Keep a Little Cosy Corner at the Dorm. for Me THE STOIC'S DREAM ,mf I I was weary and ill at ease, and h, aying me own was soon as as eep. p MH l . d I f t l ' Lf' And it came to pass as I slept that I ,- i'e9' dreamed. And I drempt that I saw a small band of pilgrims tossed about on ' life's sea. Their countenances, though f,f U.Ti y iff' .fify A worn and haggard, were good to look 'ral' ,l l ll !7 upon. The men were strong and the Htl Sl I llwyn' women fair and beautiful. When I in- : 2lhl,wlsl.l.H1,fy E vii ed of them from whence they came fit M ! J 1 I found that they had journeyed far 1 V . ' rom the land called Ignorance, and i i W f that they were bent on going to the city dt KM Hy., .5 of knowledge called Buena Vista. I ' lXXlg: ZtffL-1, then instructed them in the way they if: should go, and being curious to learn of their fatell journeyed along a little way 1 X 1-Q ehind. Eiflf.. They soon came to the city Where- fh--. upon they were exceedingly glad, say- '3 PT Ffh. NY-fi- ing: Here we will abide, and became l4'M,.,L dw Joint heirs in the realm of wisdom. l . ' lg f' So saying, they entered in at the gate of - W- - lk Q the city which is called ffmatriculationf' and were lost for a time to my view. .-. N - Upon entering the city I was much - pleased with it, and determined to take up my abode therein. I loved to wander along under the shady trees which adorned its broad piazzas, and listen to the steady Wash of the waves which lapped the banks of the seashore not far distant. Those were indeed pleasant days, and long may they live in my memory. In the course of one of my walks I chanced to enter the business sec- tion of the city called The College, and here I again came upon the same band of pilgrms that I had met a few days before. They were busily engaged in the city's industries, and were all striving to master some profession, or professor, whichever it happened to be. At this point my attention was drawn to another group of people who I learned were known by the fastidious name of Sophomores, and who seemed bent upon discouraging these strangers in their midst. This clan wore raiment of purple and grey, and were an exceeding ungainly looking people, some of them being small and hatchet-faced, others gaunt and dilapidated, while still others were black-browed and villainous looking. It grieved me sorely to see that this people had taken such a dislike to my new friends. They would scowl upon them, make insinuating remarks about their appearance, sneer at the fewness of their numbers, and, finally, dubbed them with the name Freshmen, which means green. I was greatly pleased with the manner of the strangers at this juncture. They were quiet and self-possessed, and, indeed, seemed scarcely to no- tice the clan called Sophomores. This only tended to further provoke the latter, who began plotting mischief. Now, it chanced one night, when the moon shone in all her mystic beauty, and Nature sang in her grand, sweet tones of silent eloquence, that the fair daughters of the people called Freshmen came forth into the starry night to bask in the warm moonshine. They had not wan- dered far when they were struck with the hideous appearance which the coarse grey stone in the causeway presented. They were lovers of the beautiful, these fair ones, and as they were fast becoming versed in the fine arts they at once procured some paint and set about to transform the dull grey into the master painting of 1915. They had scarcely begun their task when they were set upon by a burly ruffian of the Sophomore clan known as Crouch, who came down upon them breathing forth the thunderings of his mighty wrath, and thinking thereby to frighten them away. However, these fair ones proved as valiant as they were fair, and resisted stubbornly, clivesting him of some locks of hair and a superfluity of pugnaciousness, so that he fled in great disorder from the field and summoned his followers to aid him. Now, when the Sophomore clans were come together they were filled with great wrath and swore vengeance. Thereupon they banded their forces together and fell upon one of the unsuspecting Freshmen, and after a fierce struggle succeeded in overpowering, him, and then conveyed him to the castle which is theirs by right of descent, and which is called Boathouse Here they flung him into its innermost recess, thinking they had him fast. But the true-hearted fair ones feared that foul play had befallen one of their numbers, and at once set out in search of him. They were soon enabled to find him, and one of them drawing her trusty sword reached in through the grating and quickly severed his bonds, whereupon he being unloosened quickly broke down the castle gates. In the meantime the captain of the people, called Freshman, had been aroused in some unknown manner, and took himself forth into the night to reconnoiter. He had not been long out when he espied one of the Sophomore clan named Shaul with a rope in his hand, and, suspect- ing him- of some vallainy, the captain started in pursuit of him. Now, the captain was a mighty man of valor, and the marauding Shaul had no desire to meet him, so he turned him about and fled. The angry captain pursued after him so hotly, however, that he dispaired of escaping, so he turned himself aside and fled into an arbor by the wayside. Here ,he was sheltered by the lord of the arbor, one Casey by name, until the captain growing weary and disgusted with waiting departed. Where- fore this place is known as Sophomore Refuge until this day. Thus the conflict ended in complete victory for the people called Freshmen. ' Now, things moved very peacefully in the city of knowledge called Buena Vista. The Sophomore clan finding that the strangers were abundantly able to maintain their own left them severely alone. Now, it is the custom in Buena Vista that after a band of strangers have taken up their abode in the city and have remained therein a rea- sonable time, and have shown themselves respectable and able to make their way against opposition and adversity, it is a custom I say that the Sophomore clan shall bestow a suitable name upon them, one which shall fully express their characteristics. Now, I observed that as yet this ancient custom had not been complied with. I furthermore noted that the strangers were increasing in numbers, so that the necessity of their having some name was apparent to all. The strangers had also taken cognizance of the fact, and had even gone so far as to advertise for a name. But all to no purpose. The Sophomore clan either considered the name Freshmen sufficient, or else were at a complete loss for a name which would be suitable for this remarkable people. Thus things went on, and there seemed no liklihood of a change. I-Ifowever, it came to pass that one morning as the city was gathered together in solemn assembly that the captain of the strangers arose, and producing a recent newspaper proceeded to read an exceedingly inter- esting account of how an Indian queen in passing through the city and learning of this remarkable people who had recently taken up their abode therein had taken it upon herself to name them. She had carefully con- sidered their many qualities, and had finally decided to bestow upon them the name of HMEWASOMQ' which. in her language, means True- hearted and Brave. She was 'one high in rank, and the city authorities decided that she might have the privilege. When the captain had finished reading this account a fair daughter from among the people formerly known as Freshmen arose and made known to those assembled that her people were fully resolved to accept the heritage of the Indian queen, whereupon there was a general rejoicing among the inhabitants of the city, save among the clan called Sophomores. They expostulated against this precedent, but in vain, the city had grown tired of their indisposition toward duty and custom, and refused to hear t em. . 1 As I turned homeward I pondered upon this people and their new name-MEWASOM-true-hearted and brave. That is certainly a noble name, fellow-citizens of Buena Vista. May you prove as true-hearted to friendship and as unyielding in battle as that noble race over whom the Indian queen once reigned. May your path through life lead you past many beautiful fields of opportunity and up many hills of achievement. And some day when the future has drawn aside the dark veil of time may I see you, one and all, sitting in the high places of the nation and the col- ors-lavender and cream-beauty and richness-floating from earth's loftiest mountain heights. And as I thus soliloquized the dream vanished, and I became awake. HISTORIAN OF THE FRESHMEN. Q A THE SECOND BOOK OF CHRI! CHAPTER 1. And the people go up into Buena Vista: The men of Ammon are amused with the children of Prattle. NOW it came to pass that the people, of Buena Vista were,met with one another again and all rejoicedl 2. And they found among them a new tribe, exceedingly strange. 3. And their feathers were of many colors but the greatest among them was called green, even unto this day. 4, llioreover, they had eyes but they saw not, for they were even as the newrborn kitten. 5. Ears had they but they heard not, excepting as they did shout among themselves. 6. They had feet but they walked not, for they were like unto a babe. 7. Day unto day they uttered speech and night unto night showed they little knowledge. S. There was no speech, nor language or council where their voice was heard, even though they had little understand- ing. 9. They that counseled them were like unto them: so was every one that trusted in them. CHAPTER II. The new tribe grew presumptuous: whereupon the Ammonites punished them for their wrongdoings. NOW it came to pass that the tribe' of Prattiers waxed great exceed- ingly, among themselves. 2. And their heads were filled with vainglory and presumption. 3. Wherefore they did put their nu- merals on the public way. 4. Now the men of Ammon were sore vexed at the gall of the children of P1-attle and took council among them- selves. 5. And all the Ammonites arose and went up to the house of the children of Prattle. ICLE 6. Now when the Prattlers came out they were set upon by the enemy, who waxed strong exceedingly. 7. And when the children of Prattle saw that it was so, they said, the star of our fortunes will not abide with us, for their hand is sore upon us. 8. They sent therefore and gathered all the damsels of their tribe unto them, and said, we are sore afflicted, what can you do? 9. And the damsels shouted a great shout and set upon the men of Ammon, biting and scratching, as the Amazons of old. 10. But they were of no avail, where- upon the chief of the Prattlers looked and beheld his men vanquished. 11. And he fled to his tent, even under his couch, where he hid and quaked with fear. 12. Now the Ammonites bound their captives and shut then1 up and rejoiced exceedingly. 13. Moreover, they searched diligent- ly for any of the Prattlers but they had hid themselves, yea, even one from a.n- other, that they might escape the Am- monites. CHAPTER III. And the Ammonites traveled unto a strange land, flowing with milk and honey, where they feasted and made merry. AND it came to pass about the sec- ond month, the people of Ammon crossed over the waters into the land of Casino, so they might feast and rejoice among themselves. 2. Having arisen earlyf about the spring of the day, they did make mer- ry and spent the morning in dancing and song. 3. Now when the feast was ready they gathered themselves about and partook thereof. 4. For great provision had been made for them and when they had eaten and drunk to their fill they rested and held council among themselves. 5. Now, after this they betook them- selves unto the seashore and went out upon the waters in boats. 6. And when they had returned they gathered up the fragments of the feast and did sup again. 7. And after this they arose and said, one to another, We do well, this is a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace. 8. But if we tarry till the morning light some mischief will come upon us, now therefore come, that we may go to the seashore and embark. 9. And entering into the boats they launched from thence and set out upon the water. 10. But not long after there arose against them a tempestnous wind, called Euroclydon. ll.. And no small tempest lay on them, so that all hope that they should be saved was taken away. 12. However, the men of Ammon la- bored mightily with the oars and pre- vailed against the winds. 13. And so it came to pass that they escaped all safe to the land. 14. And straightway when they had come to the shore they lifted up their voices in thanksgiving. CHAPTER IV. And the children of Prattle grew bold and loud, even as the sounding of trum- pets: and tried to give unto themselves a name. NOW concerning the things which came to pass after this I would not have you ignorant. 2. And there arose in the synagogue the chief of the Prattlers, and though he spoke with the tongue of a child he became as sounding brass. 3. And though he thought he had the gift of prophecy, and understood all mysteries, and all knowledge, so that he could remove mountains, he was noth- mg. 4. For if any man thinketh that he knoweth everything, he knoweth noth- illg except that which is told to him. 5. Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. 6. Moreover he sought, as'a child, to give a name to his tribe, which was the lawful right of the Ammonitesg but it came to nothing, for he was possessed with little understanding. 7. And when he had done, straight- way there arose a cunning damsel, a be- trayer of men, lacking wisdom, S Saying, All things are lawful for us: all things are expedient, whatsoever they be. 9. Let no man seek their own, but every one another's right. 10. And the people of Ammon laughed and made merry among themselves, for she spoke as a babe, endowed with lit- tle knowledge. 11. Howheit there is not in everyone that knowledgeg for some with vanity and prattling are filled, even unto this hour, and their minds, being weak, were defiled. 12. Now these things happened unto them and as examples are written for your admonition, wherefore take heed, lest you fall in' the ways of the vain. Signed: HISTORIAN OF THE SOPHO- MORES.

' SOCIETY PRELIMINARIES The Frank and Star Societies Were going to debate. . The speakers had studied at A most terrific rate. Each side felt sure that they would win A victory supreme. They had unfailing confidence, Each loyal to their team. So each bragged to the other Their side would surely win Until the halls re-echoed with Argumentative din. At last the Franks decided there Was nothing more to say. It never could be settled in A bloodless, peaceful Way. So they hung up a challenge, The Stars said We'accept, While the tender hearted co-eds ' Stood by and sadly wept. The Franklins then choose seven men, Warriors brave who said, l We'll lay our lives down for the cause Of Black and Cheery red. The fearless Stars responded with Seven tried and true Warriors sworn to do and die, Defending White and Blue. They choose Professor Blayney To be the referee, Harrison was judge While Strawn Marked down each victory. First came Wick and Chappie, It was an awful fight. Blayney almost fainted at The cruel, heartless sight. Strawn and Hovey next essayed, To settle things for aye, T'was hard to tell from looking on Just who won this affray. Then Wright and White put on the gloves It was a classy bout. Each tried his best to win the fray, And knock the other out. Then followed Rust and Friday, And it was plain to see, Each was a scienced fighter, And full of energy. Booth and Oatman next were called, Giants both and brave, Who'd gladly give their very lives If such their cause would save. The next encounter, if I could, . I'd leave a vacant space For Ross White was the champion And pounded Jumbo's face. Though Jumbo did his very best And threshed about in vain, With arms like the propellers of A locooed aeroplane. While White just watched for openings, And wasn't4scared a bit. He knew he'd land each time he swung, There was so much to hit. At last came I-Ioin and Johnnie, Like Vikings brave of old Their golden manes a-bristle and Their blue eyes stern and cold. They scarce had started fighting though, When Blayney stopped the fun, I-Ie was afraid, if judged by looks, That there-fd be murder done. The final score was then marked up And the decisions read, When it was found the Stars had Won, O'er Black and Cherry Red. Then, Oh! the gladsome, happy cheers, That from those Stars ascended, Methinks it climbed the paths of light, The very heavens rended.

President seated at west side of the table reading French. Jones and Crouch also there on the opposite side of the table. Girls come bustl- ing in, all pretending to be out of breath from their walk from the Dorm. President acknowledges their entrance by a short bow and the ghost of a smiley then proceeds with the work. After much scraping of chairs and other confusion, the girls group themselves around the table. Exclamations of Where is Rusty?'i Does Rust know we have a meeting? Is Charles coming? Let's hurry, so we can get through and go. At a lull in such, the secretary asks in a subdued tone, Have any of you boys some paper in your pocket ? After much digging and search- ing thru the various pockets, one of them produces an old envelope. At this moment Rust enters, jerks off his overcoat, places a chair at the end of the table and sinks into it. Now the president sits up straight, carries on a low conversation aside with the secretary, then says in a firm but quiet tone, Well, as it is a little past 7:15, I think we had better begin. Old businessifirst, of course, and the reports of some committees were accepted and some were instructed to make further research. When Charles entered an election is on and several stage whispers came from across the table where the one faction is grouped. Hazel, tell Charles how he is to vote. And the result of balloting was in favor of that division of the meeting. At various times during the discussion someone would say, Well, now, Dvvinnie CArthur, Art or Mr. Dwinelll what do you think about that? Just then the janitor is seen leaning over the bannister and look- ing thru the glass door. He looks like a moth drawn by the light. Then new business is in order and these accomplished business hands put by item after item at a rapid rate for each time it is immediately moved and seconded to refer the matter to a committee appointed by the chair, and each time it carries. Every time Elsie C. was put on one she made a grimace. If some social time under discussion Dwinell's comment would be, Let's have something good to eat, and Charley always seconded it with a dramatic wave of his hand and here, too. Innumerable times the whole operation was forced to a standstill while the different groups brought to a close the item of gossip or ordi- nary conversation under way. Sometimes it was Bernice and Jones say- ing to me another, When can I have McMurray? Sometimes it was the two English majors discussing Chubb. Sometimes something else. The president usually sat with a patient air until he thought he could be heard and then said, We will finish the business in hand. After other matters are settled, one of the girls say, Mr. President, I want to make a proposal. All the boys look scared. I want to trade pictures with alllof the class. At adjournment Chas., Jones and Rust hustled out. Three of the girls took their way toward the Hall, two skipping along gaily and With- out Senior dignity but the third walking sedately behind, and the two couples were left to decide who should take the walk to the pines. x l BUENA VISTA SPIRIT I So often the remark is heard, the spirit is adverse, 'fthe spirit is favorablef' the spirit is good, or bad. Not long ago the writer visited a community to assist a church in some meetings and also to secure a pastor. In conversation this remark was made by several members of the church. The spirit of the community is against opening the work in the church again. They meant that some of the people, some of the leading people, of the community did not deem it Wise to open that church again for services. In other words what the people thought or were thinking made the spirit or influence that was felt in the community concerning this special ' subj ect. So I would deem it safe to say that our thinking makes the spirit of Community, Church or College. That is, our thinking so influences us that we influence others until a whole body of people are thinking along the same line of thought and arriving at the same conclusions. So when you ask me to write regarding the Spirit of Buena Vista College you are really asking me to write about some of the things you are think- ing. What makes a stingy spirit in a church? Simply that the mem- bers are thinking stingy thoughts. What makes a mean, dirty, good-for-nothing college? Simply a body of students and faculty that think along such lines. One thought that im- presses me in the Buena Vista Spirit is the loyalty of students and pro- fessors. You have yelled and shouted for the institution when beaten as Well as when victorious. There has been loyalty in the movements of reform. Some rebellious spirits manifested their presence once in a while but such were so in the minority that they were soon silenced. One of the great coal strikes of western Pennsylvania was called because a few worthless scamps could not get exactly what they desired. They were granted tvvo-thirds their request, and needed reforms in mines were made. The leaders among the various unions advised the men to vote for an agreement, but the men referred to secured an adverse vote, a strike was declared, thousands quit work, untold suffering followed. Because a certain few could not have all they desired, the thousands of men, women and children must suffer. The miners lost out in the strike. We never experienced such a reign of crime, such poverty and hardship. All that a few may have their desired Way. , The best kind of loyalty is that which comes through obedience to the right and is not given because of any selfish aim but because to obey the noblest in life. Another peculiarity of the spirit of the college is the entire absence of snobbishness-nor does there seem to be any tendency that way. It is a delightful and a very refreshing sensation to meet and asso- ciate with a large company of people who seem to recognize a young man or young woman for what they are really worth in manhood and woman- hood, rather than the length of their fathers' bank account. Some have had the mistaken idea implanted in their heads that since they are who they are and since their daddy is so and so, therefore, there are certain concessions due them over and above their fellow students. Concessions on the part of the faculty and concessions on the part of the student body. The writer is acquainted with some schools where the spirit of the col- lege places discredit upon men who are compelled to work their own way through college. Not long ago a conversation was heard like this on one of our east bound trains. ' Do you mean to tell me that a large per cent of your students work their way through college ? The man questioned answered in the affirm- ative. The answer came back: Well, I am not going to belittle my son and daughter. I will borrow first. I wish every parent will feel the ob- ligation to educate their sons and daughters as this father. But I do not believe it would belittle in the least to earn their own way through some good institution. Snobbishness may manifest itself in several ways: in dress, in an expression of superior knowledge, or peculiar mannerism. The most ignorant man is the man who does not know that he does not know. We can pity the person to whom nature has not given the full amount of in- tellectual power, for he is not responsible for his endowment by nature. We can almost always sympathize with the fellow who has to labor hard at his class work and possibly flunk sometimes during the year's course, for we have had to dig. We hold the young man in high esteem who in spite of financial difficulties will complete a full college course, who may not have the clothes, no money, but has the determination. But what will we do with the snob? Simply despise him. ,Some years ago a young man entered Washington and Jefferson College and when he appeared on the college campus the first day, he wore a bright red bandana around his neck instead of a collar. VHe was an Irish boy, had worked on the railroad beside his father, a section boss on the Pennsylvania railroad, and the bandana is the mark of the Irish section man. He was hooted, laughed at by many. He spent many hard days, but he stayed by the job. He graduated high up in his class. Today he is a most successful young Presbyterian minister in an eastern state. It is not birth, although it is mighty good to have a square start. It is not clothes, although some are necessary. It is not money, although it is very handy to. have some around. It is what you really are yourself that counts. Emerson says: What you are speaks so loud I cannot hear what you say. The moral and religious peculiarities must not be overlooked in our consideration of the things that go to make up the spirit of the school. Here again we find something of mighty importance. I have mentioned these two, moral and religious, together because they are so closely mingled that it is hard to separate them in discussions. A college is a testing place for men and women morally and religious- ly. It is a glorious thing to see a company of young men full of life, whose blood runs lively, whose hearts beat strong, and whose hopes reach high come into the battle field in a game of football. The battle goes against m them, they are hard pressed, yet in spite of adverse decisions, rotten officials, fumbles, roung playing, and all, they hold in their temper, hold back the hand from foul play and play the game until the last minute. It is not merely a battle of brute strength, it is a battle of moral courage and he who has learned self-control is the victor after all. Such has been the experience of our football meii during the last season. Not long ago the writer was in a town where the B. V. C. boys had played, and stopped at the same hotel. When the owner found out where I had come from he made this remark: You sent the cleanest and jolliest bunch of boys up here that has ever been in my hotelg no ci- garettes, no profanity. Clean and jolly sounds good to me. I have noticed the same as the girls have entered into the basketball games during the season. The mark of self-control. I would not have any one think that our B. V. C. girls and boys are of the pious, sissy make-up, not at all. It will be some time before their piety will become burdensome or of such a nature that wings will begin to sprout. - The religious life impresses me during this year as of that strong sturdy type. I have heard the remark made among a body of students from an eastern college: A Y. M. C. A. sissy! Just what they may mean I do not know, but it seemed to be that any man who was a Y. M. man was a sissy. That is not the sentiment here, but rather is the oppo- site true. That a man is never really a man until he is Christ's man, nor truly a woman until she also is an ardent follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. The spirit of the college is of that jolly, wholesome fellowship with a strong and steady swing to it that makes college life Worth while. Plenty of snap, plenty of rivalry and plenty of vim, the jolliest bunch of students I have met since old W. and J., '95, held her sing-out years ago. YOUR PRESIDENT.. 1. .Aggies . . . Bluff ......

Having established this custom the next step is the ordering of the costume material. This may be purchased very inexpensively of Sears Sz Roe- buck-the red cheese cloth coming to 49 cents and the left-over Xmas decorations to 23 cents.

ADVICE TO A FUSSING SENIOR Life is real, life is earnest, But the altar's not its goal, Though 'tis for a wife thou yearnest, Forget it now and go to school. Listen here, O noble Senior, Though a constant man thou art, You might better toil and leave her, Leave the darling of thy heart, You may tell her foolish brother That without her you would die, You may say there is none other, For we can see it in your eye. Oh, thou crazy, vimless Zero, Wlio hast never but one thought, Tend to biz and be a hero, That alone can change thy lot. We admit your mind is flighty, For the Y. M. men were sore YVhen your heart-throb was so mighty, You forgot to pay the score. So with this advice we've given We will sadly say adieu, For we know 'twill ne'er be different Since she's she and you are you. SENIOR DIGNITY Senior dignity is a most important thing to be observed when one reaches that most high and haughty age. The most essential thing in life is wear the cap and gown all day Friday. What matters it if ye have to scramble madly to an eight o'clock if ye must describe parabolas and ellipes with flowing sleeves, or must sit for two hours running thy fingers over the piano. When Juniors, are around, no unseemly disagreement among ourselves should he shown and ignorance of any topic must be gracefully concealed from them. Every whisper of the Juniors in chapel must be sys- tematically frowned down. Frivolity of all kinds must be abolished. Objections must be made to Skip-day. We must go quietly and gracefully about our work, whether our nature or no. ' I OU See We are not as im- portant as you thot we were. ROSS E. WHITE. President of Junior class, 1909-12.

The corn was yellow I C3 and the hay had been made up in ricks X S' down in the greenjbrown meadows. F Round about the cornfields and meadows 1 Qc Ku were large woods and in the midst a deep lake called Storm Lake! It was indeed beautiful. In the midst of the sunny D landscape lay an old Manor house with a -QCA? 'X deep moat about it. ln this moat swam lt: r .-9 the ducks, through the tall rushes. The i youngest duckling was terribly big and ugly. You're a terrlbly ugly duckling, said its mother. None of the others look like you. I wonder if it's a goose. We shall soon find out. At once however the duckling's year-old brother and sisters dubbed it a goose and persisted in calling it a little gosling. At first they peeked it and pushed it ' N gfft about but one day the duckling grew fr angry and when they found it would KFX stand their cowardly - , X teasing no longer and 5-Q-5. il .gl wx they slunk away in ' f - L i fear. There were two if e-f- questions which they .3- ,M asked the duckling: ,ff .. Can you talk as we T.. ' , , ,J can? Can you sputter ri X OL and quack a lot when i N ,. f there is nothing to - S quack about? No, q 5 -2 ,dx said the duckling. a...J---A ' Well, you must hold 'l your tongue, then and have no opinion to offer when sensible folks like us are talking. So, for a while, the duckling kept silence, only venturing to say: You don't understand me. Time passed and autumn was now setting in for the fourth time. The leaves of the forest were turning yellow and brown and the wind caught them and sent them whilring about. Slowly the cold, cold winter passed and beautiful spring came again. Once more the ugly duckling lifted his wings which seemed to bear it more strongly than before and carried him rapidly about. Oh, how beautiful everything looked in the freshness of the spring. And back again came beautiful white swans. The duckling recognized the lovely creatures and was seized with a strange desire to hear how they would judge it so it swam toward the royal birds. As soon as they saw it they rushed forward with rustling wings. Only be kind, the poor creature asked and bent down its head against the surface of the water. But what was the vision seen there? No longer a clumsy dark- grayish bird but a beautiful swan. Oh, see the new swan ! every one cried. The new one is the pretti- est of all. The old swans bowed their heads to him, the lilies bent' their branches, and the warm sun shone so pleasantly while the beautiful swan rejoiced and said with joy: So much happiness I did not dream of when I was called the ugly 'Goslingz' s .CHXK ,, 7 T-5 ff!! sx Q e arf- 'Nl :,,.,,-41?

A time it is, ful- filling Freshman dreams untouched as yet by sadness of last times. To crown this year, 'tis well a privilege is grantedg a privilege which reflects the lights and shadows of ten golden months, which brings the class in closest touch, not only each with each, but with the life and spirit of the collegeg a privilege high esteemed, since dearly bought by weeks of planning and painstaking care, not for the credit of the class alone, but the college honor which each upholds. The annual is the flower, the culmination of gift-ladenyears, and growing thus, depends for life upon the interest of all. To every one to whom B. V. herself is dear, its pages seem alive with memories that grow the dearer as the years pass by. For, as the Indian maiden weaves into her blanket, dreams and fancies of her maidenhood, so from the warp of every day the varicolored threads are chosen to weave into this fabric with its story of the year. x We, the Class, 1913, entrusted this year with the Annual, would take this means to thank our college mates for their support so loyally and freely given, and more especially those friends who generously gave their time in contributing to the pages of the Rudder, and aid in all we wished to undertake, again, our gratitude is due in fullest measure to the mem- bers of the Faculty, devoted ever to the interests of their student friends. We give our Annual, may it be as pleasing to you as we could have wished and may it stand a not unworthy chapter in the life history of Buena Vista. ,?-1? ,gl g i v5g g rv.
