ADAMS 'l9 What a world of memories the October Drive recalls to the true Ellsworth- ianl Perhaps it is a recollection of a beautiful autumn day, clear and mild, or perchance it brings it to the mind a picture of the woods at fall time turned from a silvery greeness into an orange scarlet and a dreamy gorgeousness of coloringg but it may be endeared by a rare friendship formed or an old one renewed. The October drive is an annual event of great significance, time honored custom which is as much a part of Ellsworth as the very students themselves. It is looked forward to with great anticipation by new students and more so by those alumni who are privileged to return to again renew old associations. Thus, the spirit of good fellowship is promoted which is always so essential to a true college spirit. The last October Drive was held Saturday, October 6, 1917. Early in the morn the air tinged with excitement and fervor of preparations. The day was warm and balmy, a typical fall day and ideal for the purpose. Soon a procession of cars gaily decorated in purple and old gold began wending their way toward the red bridge now painted black which was found a short distance northwest of the town of Alden. That place is a charming spot, bordering on the Iowa River and sheltered on one side by a wooded hill, Upon arriving a huge camp fire was built and soon the pleasant aroma of coffee was drifting in the air. The tables were laid out to form an E. The dinner was a gigantic affair with equally gigantic appetites to match it. Hoover: was absent but was not missed, however his instructions concerning the canning food were carried out very much in detail. The entertainment of the afternoon was afforded by class stunts. The first and second academy class truly showed their American spirit and enthusiasm by giving a first aid demonstration on ambulance, accompanied by a doctor, sailor, soldier and nurse in full uniform appeared on the scene. The wounded doll was lifted from the ambulance and stretcher and administered first aid by the doctor. The Junior Class presented Evolution which gained the first prize. Three fat wiggly worms, began their struggle for existence. One was vanquished in a quarrel, another devoured by a bird representing Environment, 'til one alone remained in the Survival of the Fittest, to turn into a butterfly. However a cunning scientist captured the butterfly and that was the 'end 'on 't'. Interclass games of tennis and baseball brought the day to a victorious close. At twilight one thinks of these words of the poet: One may build greater buildings Fill your halls with sculpture and with paintings But one cannot buy with gold the old associations.
