BROEKEMA Thanks to All Who Helped Us It is altogether fitting and proper to extend thanks to all who have in any way assisted in preparing this Boar for publication and this is a very good place to do it. There are so many that space will not permit an enumeration of each confrere with the particular work which he did. Therefore, accept this acknowledgement and appreciation for your Work which has been of great assistance in compiling the record of this year's Work and play. l6l Preface Before perusing the pages of this annual, heed this warning and accept this acknowledgement. Do not expect that everything in this book is original. To gather such an amount of originality in so short a time is out of the question. A great deal of effort has been expended towards the collecting of material from as many, widely-separated sources as possible. But remember that humor is IIOI the only thing contained herein. To enumerate the other plasma at hand would be superfluous. As a result ofthe suggestion of a faculty member this Bear has been made more representative ofthe entire school than any other annual of this institu- tion. If anyone is displeased with this outcome of much hard labor, let him take the blame on his own shoulders for not giving the deserved support. Everyone in any way connected with the work will vouchsaie for the untiring toiling throughout the whole year of the entire stali. lt has done the work and deserves the credit. Knockers never know anything concerning that about which they are talking. Take that to heart, if you never edited an annual, donlt think you know it all. Of course, we have experienced the inconvenience of being deprived of some material which had been promised, and other material came in so late that it had to be put in in the best possible manner. Xiiith all the help given and against all the hindrances met, this is the product of many tedious hours. Pardon where we have not tried, pity where we failed. We hope this Bear will meet with your approval. A Farewell To YYilbur I-lelm we wish the greatest success, together with our farewell. He has always been our friend, though many of us were foolish enough not to take 3'-lVFlUl212C Of it. During his principality the ofiice has been made the rallying place rather than the court of chastisement. No more earnest man ever befriended a student: no better man ever lead a school. lt is with great sorrow that we see hir. Helm leave Fisk Hall, where he had helped us, the Seniors, iadvised us, the Bear Board, and taught us, the Student Body. hlay the greatest honor,glory,and success attend you in your future walks of life and when you return to this volume may youremember to honor us by saying that we were the best of friends. l7i To Wilbur Helm whose Friendship was a joy, whose Counsel was an unfailing guide whose Memory is an inspiration.

I27 llll The Policy of the School THE BEAR: Every institution to be successful must have a program governing its ideals and actions. It has been my policy to follow this rule during the years that I have been in charge of the Academy. I have ever had before me the policy of making the Evanston Academy the best preparatory school in the country through equal emphasis upon its three main phases, namely, physical, mental, and moral. These three divisions are old yet ever new and no one of them can be neglected in the school work. I Our equipment in the athletic line and the spirit in which clean athletics have been fostered do not need much emphasis to the friends of the school. The Academy has been very fortunate in having the use of the best gymnasium in America and I believe it has, in proportion to its numbers, used it more than has any other depart- ment ofthe University. We have been fortunate in having such excellent coaches and also in having adequate flnancial backing for the teams. My only regret is that more students have not taken advantage of the gymnasium classes, yet the peculiar conditions under which many of our students have to work and the distance at which they live has interfered with this. As for the mental side one need only know the faculty and the splendid records of preparation and experience which all of them have had to see that this depart- ment surely has received due emphasis. Everything has been done to foster the interest of the teachers and to make their work and atmosphere congenial and conducive to their best effort. It has been my policy to give them full charge of their classes, their own choice of the text books, and to allow them to follow those methods which their experience leads them to believe will secure the best results. That this has succeeded is shown by the remarkable fact that practically the entire faculty returned to their positions this year. The policy has also been to have the class room standards an inducement to the individual students to do their best work. That this has succeeded is shown by the fact that those who come from other schools are unanimous in stating that the work of the Evanston Academy surpasses in content and thoroughness the work that they have had elsewhere. As for the moral, which is the basis of all success, that has been perhaps in my mind more constantly than the other two for I have felt if that were properly con- served the others would develop little that could be criticized. No life can succeed without the right attitude toward God and Christianity, at least that is my belief, and in every way I have tried to yoke the Academy life and spirit up to these great factors in our existence and to that end the chapel exercise has been maintained as a beacon light for Christian thought and practice. Everything has been done to foster the Young Men's Christian Association and a spirit of honor and Christian charity in all our relations. I am sorry I have not succeeded in doing better in this work, yet it is not because I have not tried. Another policy has been that of treating the students as if they were here for a serious purpose, as if they were men and women and could appreciate being treated as such. To that end they have been given as much freedom from faculty super- vision in the school life and enterprises as was possible and I am glad that they have taken this treatment in the right spirit. I have tried to make the atmosphere that of a family and home and instead of the office being a place to be dreaded,one point that I am proud of mentioning to visitors is that it is instead the rallying place for the students. Of course the chief credit of this goes to my efficient Secretary, lVIiss Church, who is indeed the students' friend and advisor. This in brief, has been the constant ideal and policy I have had before me and I feel that it is not boasting to say that the school has gone some distance in reaching the standard set. Whatever the future may be for it I am glad that its past is so securely entrenched in earnest endeavor and successful achievement.

At the beginning of school in 1911, AKIF. Raymond, a third year, organized the class and, under his direction, bloc Nlayer was chosen for the presidency. Earle Hawxhurst was the president for the second semester of that year. In the fall of 1912 Fairbairn Smith, who deserted us towards the end of that year, took the helm and after a very successful sail he was followed by Imogene Voorhees who consid- ered herself too smart for us so moved on to the class of ,I4. 1913 found RI. NI. Shepard our president with S. K. NIcClure next on the list. In tl1e senior year Helen Hotchkin was elected president. After a snappy light at the mid-year polls Austin Van Deuscn was elevated to the leadership. 1915 started out very early to become known in the social line, for in its freshman year the class gave a social. Later on '15 launched a new project. The first subscription dance in connection with the Academy was given. This took place at the Klasonic Hall in Rogers Park. Still progressing in its third year a dance was held at St. Luke,s Parish House. ln November of 1914, the biggest and most successful dance of all was held at the Evanston Woman's Club. The plans forthe last semester include a play and dance in the late spring which promises to surpass all attempts at sociallity so far. It is useless to even start to enumerate our accomplishments, for they are many and big. It is l1Ot for us to judge whether our class has surpassed all of its prede- cessors. It is to be seen in the following years if our record should be an example. The class has been liberal in furnishing material to the many branches of life in the Academy. Its members excell wherever they are found, and they are found wherever there is any excelling to be done. XVe wish the seniors-to-come all kinds of success. Nfay they profit by our experience and succeed in those places, if there be any, where we have failed. f24l ANNA ANDREWS Fourth Year--Illinae. WALTTCR I..

We think it very generous of them to notice our little Anna, who is really much younger than her looks would lead us to think, and who is likewise a little older than her membershipxin the class of 1915 would lead the populace in general to believe. This cute interesting group on our left is the Dan Cupid of EPA. We don't know quite what to make of him: charming, dignilied but rather superior, as he thinks. 'l'o say the least, Walter Bayne engages in con- duct totally unbecoming a minister's son. To begin with Walt was born, that being in- dispensable to his future. And what is more he has no apology to offer nor did he obtain per- mission from hs neighbors. When able to chatter he said, In tears amid the alien corn. Of course no one knew what was meant until years after when he explained that he in- tended to say, Give me, at least, this recompense-A little knot-hole in the fence.'l And he has been a baseball fiend ever since. An ardent lover of music and a pianist of unexcelled talent is Lillian Billow, and one who has the ability to comprehend thor- oughly the greatest master- piece both in our world of music and in our world of literature. She likewise possesses great cleverness in composing stories and poems of no small excell- ence. ln spite of being famed for all these unusual faculties, she has an amazingly low esti- mation of herself, and is entire- ly too apt to consider that everyone holds that same small opinion of her.

Bustos-Michel knows everything about all the won- ders of the world, having been, as nearly as we can discover, in almost every part of the uni- verse. He can tell you about the gold fish in the New York Zoological Gardens, and about all manner of unpronouncable places, animals, insects, birds, etc., in Nlexico, besides COLIIIK- less other things. He is like- wise a hard worker, and a good student. Helen IW. Cady is a product of China, and a mighty sweet looking one at that. lf she were only from some other foreign country we might look upon her with suspicion, but as it is China-no, we can't do it.

We have obtained the follow- ing information from a secret source: The Germans have placed several of their spies in the three largest preparatory schools in the country. The names of any person showing any partialily to the Allies are immediately noted down and sent to the Kaiser. 'l'hese per- sons will be court-martialed as soon as Germany has won the war. We happen to know that Gerald B. Delicate is one of these spies. In addition to his lean-ness Horace Reed Elliott is in a per- petual state of sadness, and it's too bad for such a nice boy C? 'D to waste his life away in sorrow. If anyone has any remedies for such a malady, we beg and beseech him to tell us about them, so that we may change the atmosphere of gloom which permeates the halls through which he moves. We have an innuendo as to where he contracted this afiiic- tion, he spent the prime of his youth at e. t. h. s. For two years the main idea of the class of 1915 has been to make things more cheerful for Horace Reed, but as yet so litany duties of a more pressing Cand not nearly so de-pressingj a nature, have occupied its time, that it hasn't been able to get around to it. This is William Albert Flo- gaus, who is the joy of all the teachers in school. Blue Mon- day or not Blue Monday, cheer- fulness always awaits them in the beaming countenance of the above-mentioned victim of this discourse. GORDON FRANCIS First and Second Years at Aus- tin High.

On his first appearance he made quite a splash and has endeavored to keep up the good work. In the fall he went out for football. l love the ladies is his motto. He likes first year Latin so well that he has taken it four times. Jennette Fredericks has been in Ii. A. four years, but it is only during the past year that rumor has it that she has re- ceived a magnificent salary for taking the Illinae notices to Mr. Helm at Chapel time. Her most intimate friends said, however, that she performed this duty free of charge. Knowing jennette's kind na- ture and her hatred for all mean and small motives, we are inclined to believe the latter, especially as everyone in school regards her as of a most worldly character. Newman Furness is one of these quiet persons who is al- ways astonishing you with interesting C?J and instructive UD remarks. He can tell you more about Mexico in ten min- utes than you ever dreamed could happen in ten years. Not only about Mexico, either, but about lots of other things, Zoology included. He is a member of the Furness Clan that made Mr. Weld famous. By his heart or life line we dis- cern that if he did not get the vote for the least reliable, he should have. He has never lil-:ed to be known as the bro- ther of Dwightg he craves for individual distinction. We know absolutely nothing of Harry Edward Gotti's past or present history and we are sorry to confess that the war and militarism have destroyed the records of his future. How- ever, we should like to state that he is quite harmless unless aroused, when he becomes a menace to the peaceful and law-abiding population. It is when in these moods that he makes fearful and amazing on- slaughts upon the German language. Cln perusing this the reader is requested not to show any signs of partiality.

Gray happens to possess a perfectly good motor- cycle, and can thus easily de- part from any momentarily uninteresting friends, for al- though the machine is a two- seated arrangement, the second seat is usually occupied by his brother. The Gray Brothers are known all over the campus. Some wide-spread reputation. We should judge that the midnight oil in Charles S. l'lardy's lamp was frequently burned quite low: owing to his excellency in studies. On the other hand, we ask you, how can a gentleman who has time to carry a cane have time for such trivial matters as those which pertain to school? 'Tis a deep and mysterious question which we leave to our intellect- ual classmates to answer. Worry? Cares? Nervous- ness? Too much study? Come right across! Helen Phebe Harkness has the sure cure for any of the above maladies, and it Certainly does hit the spot. And the silver linings of her clouds are not German Silver, either. 'l'hey're the real, gen- uine article, guaranteed to get brighter with wear. Never did any person have a higher standard of right and wrong than has lsabella Hark- ness, nor did anyone ever stand up harder for that standard. Those who have her for a friend count themselves favored for Harley has never been known to go back on a person. She has the best executive ability and the most common sense of anyone we have the honor of knowing, and as a good scout she takes the cake. HOWARD A. HARTRIAN Fourth h'Cill'1ll11lC1lY6.

Natur- ally, we should hesitate to swear upon our word of honor that the above-mentioned state of affairs actually existed in the mind of Hartman, nevertheless, we can only judge by outward appearances. Otherwise we know nothing about him, and anyway we had to say this be- cause he has been here such a short time that we do not know very much about him. But he should rejoice at that for it is undoubtedly just as well for him -that we are not better acquainted with him. Mildred Jean Hinners is a good hard worker, and one that always succeeds in what she undertakes. This can be prov- ed by the speedy manner in which she has helped to manage one or two school alfairs during the past year. She always has a good time herself, and is gen- erous enough to want everyone to share her pleasures. Betty has been in the Academy four years and during that time she has received practically all A's. She is the brightest of all the sharks. lf it were not for her the Girls' Edition of the flmdrmian would never have been such a success. Betty is very fond of the sciences, We wonder why she waited till her last year to take Zoo. We can safely say that no sweeter nor more intellectual girl than Elizabeth Holden ever grad- uated from the Academy. Certainly a person who has been in this school four years has earned the right to be talk- ed about a little! Helen M. Hotchkin is one of the bright- est people in the class, and is one of the most interesting to talk to. This is proved by the fact that she is the vice-presi- dent of the lirm of Saunders and Company-a most select organization to which only a few are admitted.

KERR In Academy Four Years living within himself continuously. Helen Dorothy Irwin has been with us forlo, these many years, and she is certainly one Cat leastj addition to the class. Illinae would never have sur- vived sans Helen, and neither would the students at E. A., for she had charge of the financing and the making of lllinae sandwiches for the last year, and we can safely say that never did students look so healthy and happy, nor did lllinae's treasury ever look so satisfyingly cheerful on Friday afternoon as during the period of her management. lf any of our readers ever saw Margaret Anne johnson fussed or liurried, we'd like to know about it. lt's remarkable how much she can accomplish with so little worry. She plays the piano beautifully, and dances like a dream. Ain't that nice? My how nice! When we were writing up these luckless seniors she objected because we spoke of slamming someone, so we are trying to make this little epithet as com- plementary as possible without tending to make her vain. Of course there are innumerable more things we could say if there was only room enough. Rest first then worku and He had such beautiful eyes are both descriptive of the ex- periment now under consider- ation. C. H. Johnston is cer- tainly a handsome little fellow. The oil at the side here was done by a town sign-painter. lt's too bad that his folks didn't realize the advantages of sending the child to a regular school long ago. Now, as it is, he has only gotten a taste of things worth while during the past year, and the desire to return might overwhelm the tendency to get next to nature back on the farm. Here's another of those per- sons who seem forever to be concealing hidden sorrows. Henry Hampton Kerr is truly a martyr, for he has worn this aspect for four years. lt must be hard to live a life like that, and we wonder just how long his sorrows have oppressed him. Perhaps his grave air is only a blind-you never can tell. EMORY I'1'I'IlAN KNIPE AAT First Year-Euphronia. Second Year-Iiuphronia. Third Year-Debate 'I'eam - Atlirmative.

A. for he is immediately written up in an editorial by our honored Emory Ethan Knipe. In such scath- ing tones culprits were never before arraigned. Knowing a few of the transgressors our- selves, we would hesitate to say whether the arraignments ever percolated through their hrains. Be that as it may, ye Ed. has said a great many true and interesting things in his editorials, and nearly all of us have appreciated his efforts. I'Ie is also a strong supporter of Euphronia, an excellent cle- bator and a good student. Guy -Ioseph Koch is a fer- vent patron of the hot dog wagon. Ile and his dogs have caused much envy in the fourth hour English D classg as re- paration for this, he has wasted much energy and chalk in re- galing the audience by clever cartooning. Strange as it may seem, Mr. lVeaver never was known to rebuke either his artistic efforts or his desire for food, no matter how long after 11:20 our hero appears in class. Gee Snortsl If I don't get through this thing in short order, I will be frantic. For the love of tripe, here's the lid. Now, let's see if he'll allow this thing to go through. Of course, if I rave about him, he sure will be vain enough to cut it out. On the other hand, if I hit him too hard, he'll come hack at me in the jokes. Oh .Ieapersl Ile dc:esn't needa write-up, they all know what a n--, who he is, so let's pass on. It would almost seem, from the frequency of her remarks, that Estelle Marsh thought rather often. She is noted for the immense piles of books which she carries around every day, and also for the fluency with which she can discourse on any subject from stenogra- phy to l rancis X.

Meyer is one of those very bright students who is making the course, through excessive tutoring and summer schooling, in two years. l.ast year's directory records him as a freshman, while this year we find him with a ,IS after his name. But we donlt care as long as he'll pay up his dues. He is very quiet and never dis- turbs anything by the teachers. He seems to be mortally afraid of girls but you never can tell about these placid specimens. filler voice was ever soft, gentle and low, an excellent thing in woman -but a bad thing in a school like this, for it is hard to make yourself heard when you shout, and certainly no one ever heard Alice Naomi Moffatt shout. lt surely is re- freshing to find someone who does not raise his or her voice as high as Pike's Peak to tell you how great he or she was at the school he or she last honored with his or her presence. Our clear readers can read a lesson from Naomi's actions, for in all her four years at li. A., she has existed serenely and happily without using any of the play to the boxes which so many persons feel it necessary to em- ploy. Gould Morehead may be a walking model for Marshall Field 8: Company. He may be a bank president: this last sur- mise from his lordly air is drawn. But he must not have reason to pick bones with us. Therefore let us remark that he has remarkable executive abil- ity. Yes, he executes his teach- ers several times a day for flunking him. lf it be possible, after what has just been said, he is a remarkably bright fellow and knows not what it is to fail but if he'docsn't pick up a little and study there's a question whether he will get a dip. Anna Fi. Morgan is another person who has been able to survive without gallery-play so often used. She is very much liked by all her friends, and is fast becoming a talented pian- ist. Anyone who studies with her thoroughness and good-will certainly deserves to win suc- cess. W. ll. N lil .SON Second Year-Treasurer of Hatfield llouse.

Nelson is a living example of a person who ac- complishes everything imagin- able without any commotion. He is never obviously in a hurry, he never says anything unnecessarily or that is not worth listening to, unless of course it is in class and then that is a pardonable sin provid- ing the prof. doesnlt' wiseup. He always does his best with whatever he undertakes: man- aging a BEAR, studying, de- bating, blufiing, wine, woman, or song. Whewl Nothing like raving, is there? We can say that the innocent cause of this tirade will probably be dis- gusted when he peruses our effusion. Northcott is not only a hard worker and a good debater and declaimer, but an industrious fellow in whatever he under- takes. For solemnity of hear- ing and awe-inspiring attitudes, he is unexeelled. 'l'his chap has been here two years but after vain attempts at searching the only thing of importance that we can fincl in his career is fussing. We think that he should have the class vote for the biggest fusser but evidently some peo- ple do not agree with us. 'I'he afternoon classes are never complete without him. Al- though, as we have said before. Russel Nl. Peterson has only been here two years he is a full fiedged senior and intends l?D to get a diploma.

A.-Have you a couple of good ones in the seventeenth row? Q.-What is your favorite sport? A.-The solclier's all for sword or gun. the beeman likes his apiary, the golfer thinks that golfing's fun, but for me a bit of millin- ery. Q.-NVhat is your idea of the human race? A.-ltis easy enough to be pleasant when you're neither sad nor for- lorn, but the man worth while is the man with a smile when his shoe is pinching his corn. WILLIANI C.

Isle has only been with us one year and is taking a very stiff course, one study, he comes out to school every day for one class fpretty softj, and spends most of his surplus energy in riding to and from his home, in Chicago, and school. I-le is a member of a deadly triumvirate lately im- ported from the North Division menagery. XVillard is a loyal E. A. fan in spite of his short stay. For three years has hi. Nl. Shepard graced the halls of old E. A. During that time he has proved himself capable of many things, such as being managerof the .4cndf1n1'a1z. He is one ofthe main-stays of the class of 1915, and if it were not a trite quotation we should head this outburst, He sighed to many, though he loved but one. 'l'o hear him in class some- times one would think that Stearns was a Daniel come to judgement. To hear him in class other times one would he likely to change one's opinions. NVe have several times heard him assert that such and such a class had too much work con- nected with it. By his looks we might easily judge him one of those abhorred creatures, and 'AA Shark -did we not re- member that looks are often deceitful. This dignified soher chap has never been known to speak out- side of class and what he does say in class is in a decidedly jerky tone. ln fact it would be the triumph of his life if he could read a sentence without putting it through a meat- grinder and having it come out all chopped up.

He is one of our track aspirants and a loyal supporter of all other teams as well. just at present Austin Van Deusen is piloting the senior class on its last lap of the four year run and under his guidance we are bound to have a brilliant ending, so brilliant, in fact, that our works will shine far into the coming CI'El. Philip Weber is one of those boys who are just naturally bright, can't help being bright, and always will be bright. Neither mathematics, languages nor anything else is too hard for him. He spends so much time on his studies that he hasn't time to get a hair cut. But as long as he keeps his locks out of his face he will be successful in any un- dertaking. Robert WVilson received the class vote for the most thick- headed, and it sure is appro- priate. He can think of an answer all right but doesn't seem to have the nack of fitting the correct answer with the question at hand. Although somewhat of a rough-neck, if he graduates he will have done his duty. Eunice VVoodward, one of the prettiest girls in the class, has spent four years here.

No matter how unfavorably you may have looked upon the plan before chapel. you were sure to be a lirm supporter of it after one of his earnest appeals, His position on our winning be- bate team probably aided him in this power. CAnd Nr. Weaver has always attested that there is nothing like de- bating to make one a great speakerlj You probably have seen an unspectacled youth dodging about school and quietly slip- ping into classrooms, intent upon demonstrating to his pro- fessors that he knows more than they do. 'l'he chief points of interest about this rising young man are his slick,straight, shiny locksg his slim neat formg and his inconvincing manner. Dur- ing his year with us he has lost many of his rough ways and now swears only at George Saunders-nor can we blame him. kValter bl. Peterson is quite a fusser. Ile gets fussed each time a teacher asks him a question. As lovely as the june rose. Robert West tries very hard to be a lion among the ladies but his mammalian tendencies have so far landed him the role of the bore. I-lc has never been known to wait for an in- troduction to a girl before speaking to her. On the other hand he tries to reform and there is much hope for him. Studying is right in his line. After all knocking, though, we must say that he will make a wonderful carpenter for he is a shark as a bore. i N 4 is 'XXX 7 ! - Q' 7 M Q M-1 ,L3?m5 B Xj2x WTV' S Q Q 'iff S .uf 166 -gill riff 551515 A MICR IBICRS Junior Ojjicers W.

I 65 1 4 u I V Euphronia The year of IQI4 and IQIS opened up very brilliantly. Euphronia immediately placed more men on the football team than did any other literary society. Con- tinuing with her athletic success, she placed at least one man on every team of any sort of sport in the Academy. In Oratory she led all other societies as liuphronia was the only Society placing in the contest. In declamation she scored a slam, gaining every place. In Debate she placed live men out of eight on the Inter-Academic Debate Team. Again a liuphronian was Editor-in Chief of the flcademian. The individual successes, Captaincies, managerships and other honors, heaped upon its members are needless to mention. To thehsteadfast work of its members Iiuphronia owes its success of this year. Every meeting in the year was characterized by an almost complete at.tendence. This record is one of which its members may well be proud and Euphronia has an enviable claim to the leadership of societies in the Academy. The effect that the works done by Euphronia for its members and itself will not be realized for some time to come but those meetings,those versatile programs held every Friday night have had their effect. The only way an organization may be judged is by its past and looking back over the past life of Euphronia we may certainly fortell of a brilliant future. To those who are leaving Euphronia says a fond Goodby and then turning extends her hand to the newcomer in the clasp of Good Fellowship and Honor. l68l Euphronia Literary Society BROEKIQMA, Cupid His goodly fabric fills the eye And seems designed for thoughtless majesty.

Heaps of new girls came and we were busy rushing them. Ina was sure some sport, she took several home to lunch. XVe worked hard and landed some perfectly adorable ones. hluch pink and yellow ribbons floating around school for the next week. Sept. IS. Had an open meeting and reception for all new girls. Whole slews of them came out. Had a short program and I had parliamentary drill, also devotionals. You, Jeremiah dear, lim a very devout and stern person QFD. Heav- ingsll' Itls a wonder that I didn't ask them to sing the prayer and pray the hymn. After the program we played heaps of games, among them the game of watchful waiting, for Theobold's man was late with the ice-cream. as usual. His poor Iflivverl Itis always losing a nut or two, Jeremiah. I will impart to you a secret. Flivver is the latest name for a Ford: you know, one of those pesky little gas- wagons that are always getting in the way of automobiles. iVe are going to have election of officers next week. Oct. 2. Installation of officers today. Vin Seaman is our new president. She gave Marg Oettinger, the retiring president, a gavcl which she had used during her term of office. It was tied with a huge bow of pink and yellow ribbon. Viv also gave Marg a scrumptious corsage bouquet of yellow roses. Marg said that they would come in real handy as she was going to the theater tonight. Guess Jack was glad Vi gave them to her. Sort of soft for Jack. Marg said today that she went up in an aeroplane last week. Sort of high flying, Marg, old girl, better stay on earth, not so much danger of falling. Oct. 8. Vi gave a reception for all the Pi,' girls today. Everyone came and had a peach of a time. The grandest eatsl Um-m-ml We all decided that Louise isnlt used to polite society. Yes, Jeremiah, for she made an awful social smear, she did. She spilled oodles of goo in her lap. Oct. 16. Iilinor and Mildred debated in meeting today to decide which one liked H. B. XVarner the most. lVe all decided Elinor did because she actually spent money, money. for his picture and Mildred didn't . Mildred cut his picture out of the paper. XVe had an awfully long meeting today. XVe were laying plans for our fete. A fete, Jeremiah, is the best way of extracting the hard, cold cash from the unsuspecting public. XVC have to do it cleverly or they might catch us at it. NVQ are going to give a play. Nothing in it but girls, Jeremiah, so I don't think Ifll like it. There were men in it last year. They are such fun in a play. They generally act so stiff and scared. Marg suggested having a tulip garden and We are. Oh, icky lon, I've just got to think of something to do. ' Oct. 21. Had a rehearsal for the play. Say, Jeremiah, itls simply more than Clever. Itls all about a young matron who has lost her purse and is scared to death to tell her husband. Henrietta Catlow, Lillian Billow, Louise Carter, hflartha Duthie, Vivian Seaman, Ruth Crawford and Janet Bowman are in it. Q I Oct. 31. Doris has left so we have to postpone the fete. Mary and 1'I'3I1ClS made heaps of tulips for the garden. Julia has made oodles of posters and tacked them up everywhere. Oh, Jeremiah, this fetc has got to be a success for we needs must have a dance and how can we give a dance without money??? N , , NV d'd ' l nv meetin today but instead, decorated the library . ov I5 e intiavea, g , in Pieria colors. We are going to have a dance all right for we have sold heap much tickets. l7sl Nov. 30. Well, Jeremiah, I suppose that you feel crooly deserted! But wait. The fete was a huge success! We made lots of money, in fact, l've been so busy helping count it that I haven't had time to write. Now we are all dance crazy. Dec. 11. We decided today to give our dance at the NVilmette Country Club on the fifteenth of January. Jeremiah, old top, I'm simply more than thrilled about it. It is the spiffiest club house with a duck of a glassed-in porch and much davenports, etc. We have ordered the classiest bids. Whoops! You would think we were all going to a funeral. XVC had a sad, worried look. The question of the moment is: Whom shall I ask? Ieleavings it's fierce. We all solemnly swear to do it today, then we come back the next day and confess that we got cold feet. Oh, woe is me. Jeremiah, Iiin in the same fix as the rest only worse.

I do hope that they won't forget to come. Jan. S. I've got the man!!! I'le asked me to go to a dance with him, so I grasped my courage in my hand, and closed my eyes, and opened my mouth, and uttered these words: Will you go to a dance with me on the fifteenth? Angel man, he said, Try me and see.', Jan. I2. Jeremiah, I've just had an awful thot. Suppose the musicians forget tocome or go to the 'Woman,s Club instead. Oh, do you think they'll come, Jeremiah?

It was decided that with these six as a nucleus, and any other members of the society and all other men who are not members and who care to put in honest work to build up the literary society, instead of coming at S o'clock and standing around the halls until about 8:30 Philomathia will now meet at 7:30 for one hour with lines for being absent or late. The alumni will take turns at coming out on Fridays and being critic and although the plan has just been started, Philo promises to have one of her best years next year as the members are enthusiastic over the new idea and intend to put in their best efforts to make it a success. Philo here extends an invitation to all serious minded fellows who, for the benefits of a literary society will in turn do their best to obtain the benefits which the society offers. l8Ol A Philomaihia Song TIllIt 'eS0!0HIOII L1':'1' I Our name is Philomathia, We live in an elegant hallg lllinae and Pie, they visit us, We do things up quite tall: With second handed impromptus, And ev'rything else that's neat., We entertain them royallv, And give them lots to eat.

L. had been discontinued, it was felt that some organization that stood definitely for the religious and moral side of school life, should be or- ganized. Therefore, during the fourth quarter of last year the Y. M. C. A. was organized to fill the apparent need. The work last year consisted mostly in holding a religious meeting on every Tuesday evening. These meetings although not largely attended, have generated a true Christian spirit which has indirectly helped the school. Near the close of the last school year, the Y. M. C. A. held a most interesting banquet at the University Cafeteria. Otto Seiler acted as toastmaster and Principal Helm, C. W. Kelley, and H. C. Northcott were among the speakers who responded. At the beginning of the new school year it was the purpose of the Y. M. C. A. to help show to the new men that in Evanston Academy there were some men who had determined to set the principles of fairness and honesty in all departments of student life. The meetings were changed from Tuesday evening to Monday morning at chapel time in order that more of the men might attend the meetings. Capable leaders were selected from the faculty and the members of the Association, and topics were printed and distributed. The attendance has been gratifying at most meetings. The Y. M. C. A. worked in conjunction with the University in promoting a religious campaign among the students. The Rex Hintz of Ames, Iowa assumed the leadership in the campaign. XVhile the Y. M. C. A. has not accomplished all that it might, it surely is a step in the right direction. The future of the Academy Y. M. C. A. is bright and it is earnestly hoped that all men who believe in its program will support its noble work. What could be better than to enthrone Christ in everyday Life?

NELSON COACH HOLSINGILR Athletic Association Recent flflzlctic' Vicloricr The records of all Academy teams for the last live vears show that the standard of athletics has been very high, not in one or two sports alone, but in every branch of athletic work. ' The basket ball teams during this period have won IO3 games and lost 15. They have held the Inter-Academic Championship during this time and in IQI5 won both the Western and the National Academic Championship. ln base ball the same standards have been maintained. Competing in 102 contests-the teams were victorious in 88. During four of these years the Western Academic Championship was won as well as the local title. The foot ball team has won the Inter-Academic title twice during the past live years and has a record of I9 victories against 8 defeats. For three years the Academy has held the Western one-mile relay Championship and during that time has sent two teams to Philadelphia to compete in the National relay events, in each case making a strong bid for the title. In two successive years, flrst place in the Northwestern Indoor lnterseholastic was taken by the track team. In that time the team won also the Beloit Interscholastic, and the Princeton Meet. Swimming, tennis, and golf have about the-same record. The Swimming Team has taken the Northwestern Interscholastic, the Tennis Team has won the tourna- ment at the University of Chicago, and the Golf Team the Vtfestern Preparatory Championship. 1 -Academy Bulletm 1831 Graliae From Bruin Heretofore little or nothing has been said in regard to the social side of Academy life outside of the individual society or organization affairs, which of course are, to a great extent, exclusive. llihen Academy entertainments have been given the attendance of students has been very small and little interest has been shown by the student. body in general. But this year there came about a reformation. The crisis took place on December the fourth when Xliss Stanwood offered a Student lfrolic to the general public. A novel mode of advertisement was supplied daily for two weeks previous to the date. The minimum adtnission of twenty-live cents was charged for a supper, an entet'tainment, and a basketball game. The main feature of the program was the reading given by Professor C. D. llardy of the School of Oratory. Other numbers consisted of revelations to several students and faculty members of themselves as they are seen by the student body. A good time was afforded to everyone who desired to partake. As this book goes to press another good time is being prepared. The students have just been informed and, as a result of the previous frolic, they sieze the op- portunityi eagerly. Many new ideas are being completed. A large amount of mysterious secrecy incenses the desire of the inquisitive students to learn more about what is going to happen to them. The tickets will be inexpensive, all branches of school life plus other things far from school life will be vividly pic- tured and ostentatiously represented and the committee is thoroughly alive and working so there is no need of anticipating anything but a successful event pro- viding the students co-operate as much as they did at the Student lfrolic. But who is to blame for all this festivity? Who has been at the bottom of it each time? Without whom would the aHfair be a flat failure? In answer to all these questions: Bliss Stanwood is to blame, she is at the bottom and without her the failure would be complete. She has livened up the dormant spirit and introduced variation into the otherwise tedious and monotonous drone. Together with her striving for a Master's degree, with all of her examinations to prepare, take,and give,shehas undertaken the burden and volunteered to make the initial move in this all-Academy jollifieation. To her, in behalf of the student body, does Bruin extend his heartiest thanks,small though they may seem,but significant and sincere for all that. fS4l Puhlicmiioms ACADEMY BEATS' LAKE FOREST IN DEBATE- Losl-Ls T0 NAPERVILLE nfl-lm. rrll lv: un- lv nmol! lm.

Flmln. wmml: l.lnl.l.-r ' Hr What has been the aim of the various staffs through the several years of the The Academian f1rade11z1'a11'f history, what is the aim of the present staff and what has this editing and managing body accomplished to reach its goal? This is the question that has given every editor and every manager, who possessed any real concern about the publication, much to consider. Nearly every person more than nominally affiliated with the paper has done everything in his power to make it more successful each year. It is asserted that the paper, viewed from the technical standpoint, has become better and better. lts policy,of course,must, to some degree, change each time a new management is elected to control. lfach editor's views naturally seek their outlet through the editorial column, while those of the manager are worked out in the selection and arrangement of the advertisements. The general appearance of the sheet is not determined alone by the showing of the advertisements, but the most important factors are the arrangement of the news articles and the ideas ofthe system of heads. Some questions that must be worked out and answered by the editor are: llfhat size or point type shall be used? Wlhat 11ews stories are most important and where shall they be placed? Such matters are the problems which, being solved, are demonstrated in the final appearance of each issue. All of this goes to make up the entire policy of the paper. The two separate editions of the 14c'c1dMrzia11 also deserve mention here. The first is the Girl'sl'1dition, edited by the girls elected from the senior class. This production is the most interesting number of the series because it is the only one edited and managed by the girls. The second is the Senior lidition. Only two Senior lflditions have been put out so far, the first by the class of IQI3 andthe second in IQI4. The contents of these two issues are of special interest to the girls and the seniors, respectively. Neither staff cares particularly to cover the field of news, they work more from the standpoint of literary endeavor than from the desire to cover the news. Every production of this nature has been good. Now, as to the policy of the present staff. To weld the different factions, to blend the various activities, to concentrate every intention as far as possible into one smooth, even Working-system for the betterment ofthe Academy: all these have been the basic principles on which this staff has labored. It has made these the first considerationsg all others have been secondary. Although every issue has been edited with all care possible, yet mistakes, through some isolated avenue, have at odd times crept in to mar the hoped-for symmetry and finish of the whole. Thus, there has been the constant battle to make the f4cadz'111ia11 a neat, interesting sheet and a helpful instrument for development in intra-school unity. l86l I Elm A Pardon if you please, a few conjectures regarding the fIcadwnia1z'J future. The prospects are better now than they were a year ago. Proving this, is the evidence that there are fourteen individuals who are not seniors on the staff now, while last year there were but seven. These at present are going into the Work and promise some healthful competition for the future. It is true that there has been too little ,rivalry for the editorship of the paper. The first election for the editor of the first series was a warm contestg since then little contesting has taken place on this score. But the race for the manager's position has been a hot one every year. This condi- tion of affairs was due for the most part to the fact that the men were not devel- oped in the news work. The larger the number of underclassmen on the staiii, the brighter is the outlook for the future ofthe publication. W'hat has the Academian accomplished in IQI4-IS? This question cannot be answered definitely. There has been some changes made in the head systemg the large heads have been kept from all except the lirst page, unless an abundance of important articles happened to come in. What has been accomplished in bettering the school spirit probably cannot be seen fully this year. The A6ademia1z'.f in- fiuence exerted in '14-'15, like that exerted at other times, must be left for its Aca- demy readers to determine. E. li. liN1PE, '15 A. J.

As Lincoln said, in repetition of what YV. H. Nelson has since remarked, YVith high hopes for the future no pre- diction in regard to it is venturedf' so we say now,only our application is somewhat different. XVC offer no prediction in regard to the success of this BEAR. Each and every B15ARllZlS hoped that he might be at least as good as his predecessorg each and every BEAR considers that certain phases of his book far surpasses those phases in any other BEAR. But this BEAR takes it for granted that you expect it to hope that, nor is it going to disappoint you. ln addition to the general acknowledg- ments and thanks Bruin would like to remark that l . XV. Nlarklin, ex-'15, is given credit for the Kalendar up until September and also Alberto h'Ianzor's design is honored by being chosen for the cover. The story, The Little XVhite l3ear,', is fiction. The architect of Fisk Hall placed the little statue ofthe Bear on the peak of the building, after which this book has been named, for no other reason than mere fancy, The make-up of this number is somewhat different than any other volume. The number of pages in the book has been decreased. This is caused by the change in the manner of running the seniors. Although the area has been reduced the material put into that same area has been greatly increased. Before the Faculty has gone through the Joke Department it will be wishing that it had just a few of those editors by the neck, but it's the purpose of this board to conceal these contents until each member of said board has securely grasped his or her diploma.

' V,-fl I vw: il All This course is an elective study open only to those who have already had a year of science, preferably botany. It is I1Ot required for graduation and is not even accepted for entrance by certain eastern colleges. It provides a second year of biological science but some schools give even a third or a fourth. So thoroughly has the average student been brought up to worship a text book that here students are advised to buy instead some standard book worth keeping on insects, or on birds, or on mammals, or on some group in which he is specially interested. Daily topics with references given are assigned in the first quarter in order to introduce the student to the wealth of recent nature literature and to train him to grasp the essentials in a maze of details and to assemble the facts from fragmentary sources. In the second quarter each student looks up one topic for the class, the reference being to an author who cites the opinion of every one who ever wrote on the subject, and then lets the reader draw his own conclusions. Then in the work on fishes each student is assigned some one fishand given a list of about all of the availableliterature, much of itbeingto original government bulle- tins and reports. From these hundreds of pages the student is to select such mater- ial as he thinks of interest, arrange it and present it to the class in a fifteen minute paper, while the class is allowed to criticize the method of presentation as well as the subject matter. A similar method is used in the study of reptiles. hflany students learn for the first time in this course something of the organization and activities of the government scientific bureaus at Washington and gain some familiarity with the use of Pool's Index and the workings of the public library. In the study of insects in the first quarter there is an excellent opportunity for training in scientific method. After a student has counted the legs and wings and noted the kinds of mouthparts on a grasshopper, bug, butterfly, beetle, fly, and wasp he begins to grasp the idea of what an insect is, what its essential char- acters are-he begins to see unity in difference. Then after studying three other closely related groups he finds that all four have certain things in common and so the concept of a still larger group-Hthe arthropods-is built up. In all this as in all science Jeff and personal notions of the uses of terms are in the background. This is strong contrast to the study of literature for instance where the relation of the self to the subject matter, i. e., npprrcialiou, is constantly in mind. For this reason the course is not aimed to make the student love the birds but to know them. Observation of the habits of living wild animals is possible in near-by woods to the west and lake to the east and a fine collection of animals in captivity may be seen in Lincoln Park. Trips are also made to the University Nfuseum, Chicago Academv of Science and the Field Museum of Natural History. This year the class went, to see the iVilliamson submarine pictures and lectures on subjects con- nected with animal life are frequently to be heard in Chicago. The class visited the Annual Dairy Show and but for the unfortunate outbreak of the foot-and- mouth disease would have gone to the International Stock Show. and through one of the large packing houses. The faculty does not always look with favor on these trips for memory work for the next day sometimes suffers: I Not a few Mediaeval notions about. animals still lurk in the popular mindianld some of these get destroyed in the course of the year. Nfore broadening still is the enlarged conception of world time gained by the study of fossils. Witness Zoology I91l the remark of a student once when she stood for the first. time in the l-lall of Dino- saurs in the lfield Museum, Well, l don't know about all this fossil businessf, Her mind was growing faster than if she had staid at home and read her text book. After the class has studied the vertebrate series from Amphioxus up to mammals in the second and third quarters, the topic of evolution naturally suggests itself. They have seen already in the course in reading, laboratory or museum, evidence from classification, geographical distribution, palaeontology, embryology and com- parat.ive anatomy,and it only remains to set the scattered facts in order. This naturally leads to the study of early human culture, the domestication of animals, modern anthropology, the principles of heredity, and eugenics. Theories as to the method of evolution may well be left for college. A student definition of evolu- tion may be of interest: The doctrine of evolution teaches that all animals de- scended from one species of animal and by a very long slow process. They even say that we are descended from that species of animal. But I Ll011il' believe a word of it. The social aims of the course may be seen in the contemplation of the changes wrought in the animal world by the hand of man. The almost complete exter- mination of the buffalo on our western plains and of our fur seal herd in Alaska, the total destruction of the quagga by the lfoers in South Africa, of the dodo, and of numerous other wild species, the raiding of rookeries of herons, gulls and sea fowl for the plumes and eggs, the cruelty of the trappers'methods, all convince us that there is no wealth of beauty or of life that man will not destroy if he can see a dollar in it. Some species have been so utterly destroyed during the nineteenth century that not a single stuffed specimen exists in any museum. ln other cases man has introduced animals into new habitats and unforseen and far-reaching disastrous consequences have followed. ln view of all this unjustifiable slaughter of wild animals, just what is it that constitutes legitimate sport and sportmanship? Here is where the study of Zoology may have ethical value. Recent studies of the relation of insects to disease such as that of mosquitos to malaria and yellow fever, and of flies to cholera and typhoid, enable the student to take his position on the right side of civic campaigns forthe drainage of near-by swamps, for prompt removal of garbage, for clean streets, pure water, pure milk, pure foods. I-le should know better where to stand on the question of vaccination and vivisection. He should have a more intelligent interest of the scientific work of the government, in his state experiment station, his city board of health. Perhaps he can appre- ciate the point of view of the farmer who has to fight the bugs on everything he raises and gets all the blame for the increased cost of living. But the Zoology stu- dent knows that the city is not entirely blameless. The importation of ornamental trees and shrubs, the holding of great international expositions, the world commerce of our cities, has brought many an agricultural pest to our shores. And now in the last ten years the thoughtless automobile, spinning along the radiating country roads under overhanging trees,hasbecn one of the main agents in the rapid spread of one of the worst of these pests-the gipsy moth in New England. -Lewix Hart lffffld. l92l Botany In offering the course in liotany, the main aim of the school is t.o give the student an idea of science, and the study of science. The study of science demands care- fulness, accuracy and precision. Thus, to give the student the attitude that will best lead him to see the value in the study of scientific courses is the fostered plan of the teacher and faculty regarding this course. But besides this valuably important viewpoint, there is the broader belief of those studying the course. Most of us as students who have studied Botany, not only feel the development in carefulness, accuracy and precision, but also realize that we are actually being led slowly into the great field of natural science, to study a flower by taking it apart and examining the parts and yet not doing this be- cause of a love for destroying the blossom, but to comprehend fully the perfect fiowerg to look upon a law11-cushion of natural blossoms and perceive the homely beauty of its makeupq to study the growth of a tree, not to be able to annihilate its strength more easily, but to enjoy the inherent majesty of a cluster of trees, a grove, or a forestg to study the means of sustenance of all organic nature in order to be more wise concerning the fundamental principles of this organic life. Yiewed in the two named lights, the study of Botany becomes doubly essential and leaves no doubt regarding its value in the mind ofthe student.. -l.1f:w1s I'lA R'r IVR Ln, Physics Play the game and play it square! ls a saying with meaning to it. And he who finds and follows it out Will never know when to quitf' hlr. BEAR Klan, I am not certain that I shall be able to produce the article you desire, that is, to describe fully the physics course, its aims, methods, equip- ment and achievements. You know that fortunately, there is no standard in education. I ortunately I say, for such standard would culminate in that Rigor Morfir to be guarded against at all hazards. But to play the gamef, to live the life,', self-realization, including self-discovery, self-mastery and self-expression are, perhaps, some of the general ends of all education, both in and out of school. And if we add the attainment of individual and social efficiency, I think we will have included all of the conscious aims of the course in physics. Nor do we Wish to Seem pretentious or over ambitious, but it seems to me that that course of study, discipline, training, or whatever, that leaves the agent with no more character, no great personality, no higher efficiency, no readier initiative, no hardier self-esteem, has been a failure. , Physics correlates most beautifully with the other courses of the curriculum, Some of which attain these ends more directly. No doubt- that the study of a language, for instance, leads more directly to proficiency in self-expression, or mathematics to proficiency in mental, or athletics in phys1cal,.or art to emotional self-mastery, while literature, history and philosophy are quite as servicable in l931 I9 assisting to self-discovery, but no where will one be conducted more directly into the lloly of Holies of an educated mind- the Scientific Spine, the assurance that the universe is rational a11d not a chaos-than by the study of physics. Of course, the whole school system is merely the matrix of society, in which the embryo great man hastens through educational processes that required centuries of precarious application of the Try, Obseur and Reviso method of the race. But not even in the inductive method of science, the method of the laborat.ory, do we ever attempt to rediscover the principles of science, or to repeat the process used in the past. XVe simply learn the great truths discovered by the great masters, put them to t.est in the laboratory, not to determine whether the old masters were mistaken or not, but to ascertain whether we ourselves have fully comprehended. Only in the history of the subject do we wonder at the rudiments of atrophied and abandoned methods. You realize, Xlr. Editor, sixteen and seventeen year old boys and girls, electing physics, know a Whole lot about the subject already. The exigencies and diversions of our complex civilization have brought them face to face with the principal applications of physics to our industrial and social life. They know much physics in the concrete. Their vocabularies teem with motors,i' 4: i as as 3 , as ac as tc , H as cc . ' i as , - Y dynamos, movies, antennae, delectois, turbines, etc. 'lhey know them all by name. But in this study we hope they may learn their geneology, their relation to each other and to the student himself. Did you ever know that it is a great day for a boy when he first learns his relation to a steam engine? The physical laboratories of livanston Academy, furnished and equipped at a cost of several thousand dollars, located in the most pleasant rooms in Fisk Hall, looking out upon Lake Michigan with her wealth of illustrations, stcamboats, sail boats, hydrostaties, hydrodynamics, wave motion, cloud forming vapor, tempera- ture and humidity, modifying breezes, the laboratory thus uniquely located and furnished in a superior manner, is not a cleverly contrived physical dissecting room Where the student is enabled to isolate nature for his special study, to enable him to take the world apart and put it together again, to see where it gets its perplexing go, but a work shop where he pursues his education by the project method, Where he comes in personal intercourse with the instructor and fellow students all engaged at the tasks of the founders of civilization, the bcnefaetors of the race, the Gall- ilios, the YVatts, the Farradays that have blazed the way. By this means, by means of the numerous inspection trips to manufacturing plants and industrial houses in Evanston and Chicago, it is hoped t.hat one may get a line on himself as related to society andthe universe, to attain both individual and social efficiency. Happy is the youth who can bound from his experiment with the resiliency and with the exclamation of Archimedes, liureka! -WGEORGE XKVASHINGTON FURREY. l 94 1 fXTl'll.ETIEi 1914 1915 - n--I 5 bbbbvpbbspsbpbbvs E Baseball .

BLAKE Nlallagcf los l Baseball Although the Academy team was not as strong last year as it has been in pre- vious years, nevertheless, it was by no means a team to be ashamed of. The team was composed of young and inexperienced men and this accounts for the loss of the lnter-Academic Championship which lf. A. won for four consecutive years. At the first of the season our fellows got off with a good start and won ten straight games. Among these ten teams which were defeated were the strong l'llgin, Loyola, and New Trier nines. The first defeat of the season was met at the hands of lflgin. This game was two up until the ninth inning when lfilgin rallied and scored four runs. After this loss the team went into a temporary slump and suffered defeats at the hands of hlorgan Park, High School and Culver. lfollowing the slump the team pulled itself together again and played the winning hall as it had at the first of the season. Kluch credit must be given to Coach llolsinger for the success of the team as he succeeded in rounding out several good men from a bunch that had never played any ball to speak of before. The three men who did a lion's share of the batting were Captain Siebold, Dugan, and hlcCabe, who finished the season with averages of .4I2, 330, and .3Co respectively. The best lielders were Zulfer with an average of 1375, Cram with .97oq and Gambrill with .95o. The prospects are bright for a championship team for the season of 1915 as there are live lf men back in school. They are Zulfer, Cram, Clambrill, hlefabe and Dugan. lYith these men and with the help of some new men among whom are Boyden, Yan lfluben. liirkbride, Mills, and others, a great team will be built up.

Xlorris College, which team we beat badly on our own floor but lost to them by one point on theirs on account of the undersized dimensions of the gym, and once by the lfvanston High School, which team we also defeated on our floor. The lligh School although begged by us to play a third game, refused to do it so that we also claimed the local championship. At the start of the year prospects looked fairly good with three old men back, Cram, Ciambrill, and Zulfer. Among the recruits were Thomas, who had played a star game with last year's lightweights: Peterson, who played with .lohn Marshall Highg Red hlackson, renowned for his football ability: and Piggy hlohnson, another lightweight. Under the able teaching of Coach llolsinger these four men quickly developed into good players. At Christmas time .lack Patten, a star of last year's team, returned to school and greatly strengthened an already strong team. Xkith these eight men the team went along in great style sweeping every- thing that came along. Among the best games of the season were the games with Hyde Park, Seward Park, Buena, High School and Shattuck. ln these games the dazzling speed of TutsV Cram and Kev Thomas, coupled with the air-tight guard- ing of Dick and Jack proved too much for the opponents. Great praise is also due to the good work of Hy Bradly in the way he managed the schedule and also by the way he kept up the spirit ofthe team on the trips. NOTli.1lSCl1lg too modest to give himself any credit other than line-up recogni- tion, the lfditor calls attention to Zulfer's astral playing throughout the season. Those who played with him need no proof of this fact. The less fortunate ones who did not have the chance to play with him are referred to the table of the number of baskets per man which shows that Zulfer tossed twenty-seven baskets more than any other man. It is interesting to note that, with the exception of Cram, all other men put together totaled only six more baskets than Zulfer did alone. lIOOl 1914 Outdoor Track This season's team did not measure up to the standard set by the squad OfIQI3. At the Beloit Inter-Scholastic, Walker won the quarter-mile and took second in the 220. l,a Grange and lf. A. tied for first in the Lake Forest meet. Wlalker won the quarter and the 220-yard. Loomis took the 220-yard low hurdles. The relay team came oil with second place. Wlalker, Loomis, Hamm, N1acDonald, Johnson, Lelilc, Wlmitaker, and lflesson composed the team. lIOIl Indoor Track of 1915 The indoor track season of IQI5 was not a howling success from a view-point of the number of meets won. Oak 'Park was met twice, Hyde park once. and l.a Grange once and in each case li. A. came out on the short end ofthe count. These facts of course, do not spell success in the general use of the term, but the writer, nevertheless, deems the season most successful. ln the first place the material was decidedly meager, and these who did come out were lacking in experience. The fact, however, that Saylor cleaned eleven feet six inches in the pole vault, tying the inter-scholastic record at North- western University, that Hamm won a third place in the quarter, and was able to run this event in fifty-live and two-fifths seconds indoors, that Olson ran the six- sixty junior dash in one second faster time than last year's inter-scholastic record: that Jackson came up from thirty-seven feet to forty-two feet nine inches with the shot and the fact that the Academy placed fourth in the annual indoor inter- scholastic, indicate that the season was not a failure. The most pleasing aspect to me was the steady and marked improvement of the individuals who made up the squad. Lind, who was green in experience, developed into a good half-miler: Case with no previous experience at all, was able to reduce his time in the quarter under fifty-seven seconds indoorg and Van Deusen, running his first year, showed great possibilities, winning a third in the junior dash in the inter-scholastic, and being a consistent performer in the dual meets. The team received a serious set-back early in the season when Wvalker, who was generally reliable for ten points and very often for fifteen, was declared ineligible and remained so during the season. l am convinced that this past season has developed the nucleus of an excellent team next year, since most of the men have just begun their competition: they are at the age when maturity is rapid, so that another year will mean much added strength and endurancei and the boys have the fighting spirit and the tempera- ment t.o make stars, I fully expect to see three or four of the men develop into track stars during their college days. It has been a pleasure to me to work with the track squad, since l found them clean, manly fellows, eager to learn with that virility and courage which is conducive to sound manhood. -O. li. Smtnn, Coach. I IO2 I f i Swimming The Academy has had a very successful season in swimming this year. New Trier, who is the suburban league champion,was defeated three times by large scores. Evanston High was defeated easily with the score of 34-24. Lane took our bubblesn twice this season in dual meets, and Lake Forest sank under the score of 48-I2. In dual meets the team has a clear record, but in the I. A. C. interschol- astic meet, Oak Park nosed us out by two points. Our team this year is noticed for being well balanced, with good men in all the events. Some of the men who did good work in the crawl events are, Ralph Huszaghi, Max Hayford, Ramsey, Fish Nlclienzie, and Piggy Johnson. In the breast stroke, Guy Koch, Harry VVyeth, Hott and Gray have done well. Hay- ford, Koch, and XVyeth took part in back stroke races. Our plungers Furness and Krumm were steady point winners. Huszagh shone in all fancy diving contests so far and is good for many points in this event. WVC are sure to have a splendid team next year, as all the men will be back, and those who are here are improving steadily. Tom Robinson, our coach, is generally admitted to be the best coach in the West, and his efforts are greatly appreciated by the team. lIO4l ,.,T,5.,-,L..-.,...A .... ,. A .--,. A.- . , ,. . A. .. Q .

Since IQIO teams representing Evanston Academy have won nine out of eleven debates, and have never lost by unanimous decision of the judges. In the six years, Evanston Academy has met and defeated Lake Forest three times, the Academy of North- western College three times, and Grand Prairie, Illinois Preparatory School, and Morgan Park Academy each once. During the time mentioned Evanston Acad- emy has lost two debates to the Academy of Northwestern College. In the Inter-State Oratorical League the success of the Academy is equally inspiring. The league includes Elgin Academy, Grand Prairie Seminary, the Academy of Northwestern College, Culver Military Academy, Wayland Academy, Lake Forest Academy, 3I1Ll Evanston Academy. ln the annual contests in this League, Evanston has won four of the last five contests. Is there any secondary school in the country that can fairly lay claim to such a record? The excellence of the forensic work in Evanston Academy must be ascribed very largely to the training obtained in the debating clubs. These organizations are the source of much of thc power manifested in the interschol- astic battles on the platform. l IOS l RI,xY13R ERXYINE GAXBOSCH SCOTT LIND CJXRNEY CO,XCII XYEAVER BURNH ur NELSON 5 ' 5 I AN k1?,1'0fc'fd.'

One winter night, during the week after Christmas, a group of persons were sitting around a cheerful fireside, with logs snapping and blazing on the hearth. The Christmas tree which stood at one end ofthe long, comfortable room filled the air with the pungent odor of the pine woods. Perhaps it was this-perhaps it was the darting ffames, that put the com- pany assembled there into an inquisitive mood. At any rate, the most lnquisitive Person besought the Oldest inhabitant to explain the why, when and how of the little white bear on the roof of the lfvanston Academy. And so, the Oldest ln- habitant, who is very old indeed, so old in fact that he knows about everything that ever happened, began the story. A long, long time ago, before the earth was blest with any of you young people, the Potawatamie lndians came from the north around the southern end of Lake hlichigan, and wandered into what is now the northeastern part of Illinois. Their rude villages stretched along the western shore of the lake,and one village, that of the clan of the Bears, was erected in the very place where the Northwestern Lniversity Campus is now. The bear was the foffm or clan and family ensign or surname. Every lndian family possessed a symbol of the name of some bird or animal, and the members ofa clan were very proud of their right to bear the name. Different degrees of dignity were conferred by the various totems--those of the bear, wolf and turtle being of the highest degree. So you see this particular clan belonged to the highest rank of lndians. Their chief was known as White Bear, and was a great man, both physically and mentally. Although the Potawatamies were by nature very fierce and barbarous, this clan was a peaceful one, and White Hear was much esteemed both by his own people and by the white settlers who Came after the Indians had been established there for many years. 'Alt is a sad thing that the nearer the white men came to the lndians, who were the original and rightful possessors of the land, the more injurious they were to the red men. And yet, when the occupants of any region fail in developing the resources of that region, it is surely the right of those who can make the proper use of the land to take possession of it. And so it was, for after years of wrangling with and overcoming the savage clans, the white men forced the peaceful family to give in to them, and, no longer the rulers of all they surveyed, the l?ears, one after another, left this land for the 'happy hunting grounds' where all good Indians go. XVhite Bear stayed to see his clan slowly but surely decreasing in size, and then he too departed-Mthe last of his stock. Years afterward, at the end of the nineteenth century, when the building which is now the Evanston Academy was being built, there was one stormy night., when the wind blew a gale from the north-east, and the air was filled with strange moanings and sobbings. The next morning the workmen found a little white bear crowning their work. They were for taking it down but the oldest' inhabit- ants said 'Let it staye-it is an omen of good-for the great White Bear of the Potawatamies stood for the highest intellectual powersf And so it stayed, and is there to this day4a symbol of the high degree of intellectuality maintained by the school. As the Oldest lnhabitant finished his story the Doubting Person looked up from her place on the hearth rug, where she had been staring fixedly into the fire for sometime, and inquired, Yes, but is all that trueil' Now if anvone doubts the truth of this story he has only tonask the Oldest inhabitant, and any mistakes made by the Humble Scribe will speedily be corrected. lii.izixB12T1-1 H. HOLDEN lIO9l Bear J otiings liditor McClure and Manager Nelson were in secret session behind closed doors. They were trying to agree as to the definition of Humor,U and if there was enough of this particular state of matter to warrant a section for its display in the BEAR, and to form a definite plan for securing subscriptions. Mac said, Humor is apparently an indefinable property that varies with the individual and depends upon his point of view. From my point of view, said Nelson, humor may be defined as a kindly appreciation of the ludicrous. Xloreover,,' continued XlcClure, some students think a profls idea of humor is to ask questions that the student can not answer, and that it vanishes if the stu- dents reverse the processf, That may be true, admitted Nelson, Still, some of the humor dispensed by the chair is often sad, but they say profitable. However, it is the privilege of the chair to have in store the canned variety, which may be warmed over every year to the profit of a lot of fresh victimsf, ' That is justifiable, answered hiac, Humor not only develops a habit of cheerfulness but it aids the digestion of the day's recitation. Therefore, a stock of some kind must be kept on hand, nicht wahr? Certainly, replied Nelson, I-lumor aids us in smiling at the hardships and difficulties in securing a sufficient number of subscriptions to warrant the publi- cation of the annual. But how are we to restore our equilibrium under the pre- sent deficiency of humorfv l have'it, exclaimed McClure. Let us go down to Bearville this afternoon. There are some Academy alumni there who, I am sure, will give us some aidf, I am not in favor of such a fiight, replied Nelson. '4Furthermore, I am 11Ot in a mood to put up in liearvillc over nightf' just what is your particular fancy or mood today, pray tellin asked lX'IcClure. Nelson answered, I may express my frame of mind in the indicative, sub- junctive and the potential moods respectively, as follows: I am endeavoring to secure two-hundred and fifty subscriptions. lf l secure two-hundred and fifty subscriptions, I shall publish the annual. If I secure one-hundred and fifty sub- scriptions, I may publish the annual. St. Verita, help mel 'WVell, I am sure you will return either with or in better spirits, if my proposed trip to Bearville is acceptable,', replied lX lcClure. I agree, said the manager. And I shall meet you at the station in time to catch the three o'clock train. - Here the meeting adjourned. After a short ride on the Nickle I late, which Mac had classed as Ford comfort, we find them standing near a water tank, looking for the venerable Village of Bearville. Soon their search is rewarded, for in the distance the well meaning sign of Hotel', is discovered. The first thing that at- tracted their attention as they approached the hotel was a sign nailed on the veranda: For Sale-An Automobile by a Man with a Tank holding IO gallons. Inquire within. Upon entering, they were cordially greeted by the land-lord who, with much formality, adjusted the register to their individual angle. Here is where we exchange good dollars for poor quarters, said Nelson. XVell, I have never yet affixed my scribe to any auto-hotel-graph album that did cost me pecuniary considerationsf, returned McClure. But my thoughts are centered about the meal that we have to face very soon. 1 IIIOI , . SN1 Don,t attempt to digest it yet. Be optimistic as to the anticipated results, replied Nelson. XVhereupon hlcfflure asked, just what do you call optimism?,, To which Nelson replied, c'That cheerful state of mind which enables a tea- kettle to sing although in hot water up to its nosef, 'KYou passf, said lXflcClure, because, knowing that prevarications have no legs, I presume that I shall have to stand for your equivocationf, Here the conversation was interrupted by the corpulent land-lord, who politely ushered them into the dining hall. After a long wait a waitress, i.e., an inn-ex- perienced model, came humming and rumbling towards us. She was evidently very much enamored by the mien and radiant countenance of the editor as he attempted to glean something digestible from the bill-ol-fare. At any Fate with her kindly assistance he ordered a chicken sandwich, coffee, and prunes. Nelson ordered a sample from the menu which was distinguished from the bill-o'-fare in that it did not have any prices inthe right hand column. When our venerable editor settled down to his meal, according to his prophesy, he found his sandwich an unsuccessful attempt to make both ends meat. His coffee was de-aromatic, and his prunes were plums that had seen better days. lsvidently they were some hotel veterans because they were badly wrinkled. Nelson fared no better and when he attempted to explain his grievances to the Ivaitress,ihe found that an echo was the only th-ing that could beat her out of the ast wort . Applying the theoretic belief that they were not-hungry our lfvanstonians set out to find the Academy alumni. This proved unsuccessful. ln fact, no trace of such could be found in the annals of the village. Xlihereupon, our lea11 and hungry Bear duo-umvirate took a twilight ride back to the place of starting and they are still trying to solve the question of subscriptions. ln fact, they are said to have quoted Lincoln, With high hope for the future, no prediction in regard to it is venturedf' -W. I-l. N1f:1,soN. Red Haired Papoose Back in the days before the civil war, an lndian tribe living in western hlissis- sippi was accustomed to go to Jonesboro, a near-by village to trade. One Spring day, Nlrs. Williams, taking her little two year old daughter with her, went down town to make some purchases. ln front of the largest store she saw a group of these lndians lounging about. As she approached, she noticed that they kept staring at lfllizabeth's hair. Thinking there must be something wrong, she looked down at it but could see nothing that would attract such steadfast attention except that the red curls looked unusually pretty in the bright sunlight. By the time she and Elizabeth reached the door, they were entirely surrounded by the Indians who seemed suddenly to have become greatly animated about some- thing, who were talking excitedly among themselves, and who were pointing at the little girl's head. lylrs. WVilliams was frightened by all this and tried to make her way out of the crowd but she was stopped by the old chief Big Bear. Give you sack of meal for red-haired papoosef, he said. These words did not help the least to calm Nlrs. kVilliams' fear. She tried still harder to make her way out, but the Indians evidently much interested and very much determined came closer and closer. I III I Give you two sack, five sack, bargained the old chief, seeing that the woman thought that her baby was worth more than one sack. Becoming desperate, Mrs. Williams called for help and the people in the store came out to see what the trouble was. It was a long while before the Indians would either give up hlrs. XVilliams and Elizabeth or tell why they wanted Elizabeth. lVhen the sheriff arrived, he forced them to do the first, and Big Bear finally told why they were anxious to get lilizabeth. The Great Spirit had sent word that a red-haired baby would bring good luck to the tribe. Naturally they wanted to get one. For several weeks after this, hilrs. Williams didn't let lfllizabeth get out of her sight, for the lndians were coming to town more frequently than ever. One hlon- day morning, however, she left lilizabeth asleep in the house while she went out- side to hand up her washing. An lndian, seeing her outside, sneaked into the house, seized the sleeping child and quickly made his way to the lndian village. XVhile lX'lrs. Williams was outside, she stopped for a few minutes to chat with a neighbor. Consequently the lndian had a good chance to get away. XYhen he reached his village he found everybody ready to leave. ln fact for weeks thay had been prepared to go just as soon as they could get the red-haired papoose. The sheriff and his men were sent after them as soon as the loss was dis- covered but they eouldnft get lilizabeth. ln a few years another tribe came to live in the old lndian village. One day one of their men was padding down a Jonesboro street in front of a building which was being erected. Suddenly he heard a shout from above. Looking up he saw a brick 'falling upon him. lrle did not dodge quickly enough and it struck his head, knocking him unconscious. The owner, who happened to be hlr. XVilliams, was standing near by at the time. I-lc had the lndian taken immediately to his home where Nlrs. XVilliams cared for him. lt was hard for her to do this, for ever since lilizabeth had been stolen she had hated all lndians. Before the lndian went back to hispeople,he was toldallaboutlilizabcth and he promised to help her if he could. Several years later this tribe moved farther west. After one very hard, bitter winter they went to war against. another tribe which chanccd to be l'ilizabeth,s captors, and were successful. When the lndian who had been nursed by Nlrs. YYilliams saw a red-haired girl of about twelve in the other tribe, he insisted upon getting her, even at the risk of his own life. He had an idea that this girl might be lflizabeth and he was determined to makesure. llihen he found out that it was she, the chief of his tribe sent him back to Jonesboro with her. Great was the rejoicing in the Hiilliams home on the evening when an lndian and a red-haired girl drew up their horses in front of the Xliilliamsf home. -l-IELEN CADY. , The Message The shades were not yet drawn, without, people were hurrying home through the rain, carriages were passing to and fro, and the street lamps, lighted one by one, were reflected in the wet asphalt of the boulevard. W'ithin, the large apart- ment lay in quiet, except for the sound of footsteps as its single occupant paced restlessly up and down. A student lamp revealed the carving of the massive Flemish oak furniture, but left the beamed ceiling and dark red walls in shadow. Suddenly the door opened and a maid brought in the evening mail which the man hurried forward to receive. He rapidly tore open one of the envelopes and read the letter. At last a line from Collierf' he cried. l-low slow he has been, yet he is one of the best detectives in the West. The case was a complicated one, fII2l no doubt. W'ho can it be that has been so cleverly forging my signature at the First National? Perhaps some union man hard up during the last strike at the Marion hlills. Perhaps some ofiicer in their contemptible confederation, the confederation which started the strike,for 1ny men were never discontented before those delegates came, and he turned to welcome Collier who had just arrived and both seated themselves near the great study table. Collier, the broker said, tell me about the case. The suspense has been awfulf' YVell,', began the detective thoughtfully, 'fthe problem has been a difiicult one. l admit it. For weeks l followed up that clue concerning your discharged foreman-only to find at last that it lead nowhere. My information regarding that dissolute cousin of your wife's came to nothing today. After months ofsearchfi he continued, l have found the man who has been forging your name. And you notified the bank immediatcly?', cried hlr. Winslow. Then noting a ,negative sign on the part of t.he other, he continued excitedly, But why not? Why not? This thing cannot continue. Forged checks may have been cashed this afternoon. As long as my wifeis relative was l1Ot guilty, the original condi- KlQ11.0f secrecy which l imposed became void. Really, Collier, this is almost criminal carelessness on your part. There is one vital reason why l did not notify the officials, Xlr. Winslow, said Collier calmly, uand whether they shall ever be notified is a matter for you to decidef' Such nonsensef, answered the irascible old man hotly. XYhy in heaven's name should they not be notifiedfn Collier strode over to the fireplace and stood looking down at the glowing coals. Slowly the little clock on the t.able ticked the minutes away. At last the detective's cold, clear voice broke the silence. Because the forger is your own son. --lelt:1.1f:N hlCQUliEN GRANT. Behind the Curtains The little hand of the old mission clock in President Stevenfs main office pointed at five. XValt.er Pratt, tall and ungainly, rose lazily from the secretary's desk. l-lis was not a handsome figure, this big, awkward senior, but the students of Klendota College had discovered behind the rugged face and frank gray eyes a big, sympathetic soul, and they knew that in the uncouth body there beat a man's heart. Born and brought up on a Nebraska ranch, iYalter Pratt had learned the value of hard work. He loved the endless prairiesg he still loved the freshness of the out-of-doors. But one evening in mid-summer he awoke with the feeling that he was growing old. l'le felt that out there somewhere in the magic distance lay the world with its opportunities, its progress, its educationfthe world he had never known, and he longed suddenly to see it, to drink of its luring cup, brim- full of life. ln the solitude of that sunset, the whipoorwill sang of it, the rain- crow in the lowlands harshly rebuked him for hisignorance, while the army of noisy pond creatures jeered at his roughness. So here he was at thirty a senior in Mendota College. He had tasted of the cup-the bitter sweets of experience. There was something in the droop of his l'i1l'H1 lips, something in the glistening eyes as he gazed out of the ofiice-window at the blinding snow, that spoke more plainly than ever human voice could speak them, the words- Thou hast paid the price. l113l He turned away from the window, and dropped back into his chair, where he sat motionless for some time, staring at the worn leaf of an open book before him. His eyes began to close, his head sank slowly on his breastg the room seemed almost sensibly to sink into the wierd stillness. Only the deep breathing of the sleeper, and the monotonous ticking ofthe old clock were audible. The heavy curtains that separated President Steven's ofhce from his private den parted slowly, and two gray eyes looked cautiously into the main ofliceg the11 the curtains closed again, but the watchful eyes continued to peer into the room. Suddenly the hall door opened noiselessly, and a figure glided stealthily in. lt was the gracefully slender figure of a beautiful woman. YVhen she reached the desk, she stopped, and looked furtively about her. Then, deftly inserting a key into one of the desk-locks, she pulled open a small drawer, and took from it a little black-enameled box. It was the store of loan money used to help needy students. The eyes behind the curtain opened wide in horror when they beheld the face of the thief, and a deep, uncontrollable groan excaped the tightly-compressed lips. The girl gave a startled scream, dropped the box, and hurried to the door. Cecile.', There was something in the voice of the speaker that made the woman un- consciously stop. Her hand fell lifelessly from the door-knob, and she turned a pale face towards her Captor, who was now standing in the center of the room staring at her in a dazed sort of way, his face even whiter than her own. For an instant the brown eyes looked up waveringly into the stony gray ones, then fell, and the big tears began to roll down the girlls cheeks. Wialter strode up to her liercely, his voice trembling with emotion. lVhatfdoes this mean? Cccile,+whatfwhere were you going with that box? No answer: but the tears fell faster. Do you realize what this means to us, girl? flood God, Cecile, youmf-you would stealfsteallu She reeled as if he had struck her. Speak, do you hear me?,, I-le gripped her wrist savagely. Tell me, tell me why you came here: tell me why you took the box, tell me why you-- XYalt.er, you hurt me. Hurt you--'Uh God! l'lurt youl lt doesn't hurt me to lose everything l hold dear. Can't1 you see l have lost everything? Xkhyefwhy did you take it? Speakli' Ml can't. XYalter, when--fyou look at me that way. l.et me go.

The girl raised her arm as il to ward off a blow. Hliill me, Wvalterg give me up to the police-anything, but LlO11,ll look at me like that-ffl can't bear it. Oh, l don't. know why I took the box---l donit know why l came in here-l didnit. need the money!-l-. Kill youf--hand you over to the police-easy words for you now. Can you undo your wrong?

I-I loved you,XValter, and '99 l114l I would rather have died that hurt you like this. I didnlt want to come here- I couldn't help it-'something awful made me do it, and l-I was helplessgit was all like a dreadful dream. I shall go home tonight, and forget everything, every- thingf, She stcod with bowed head, like a criminal awaiting sentence of the judge, her eyes staring unseeingly at the floor. The man's face softened, he took a step towards her, and laid his hands tenderly on her shoulders. I am sorry for being so-cruel. But it seemed so unreal, so horribly im- possible. It drove me mad. Good-bye, Cecile, and-may God be geod to you- dearf' His voice was almost a whisper as he uttered the last word. An inhnite yearning to take her in his arms, to crush her to his breast, the desire to claim her his in spite of everything, came over himg but he mastered his emotions, his hands dropped lifelessly from her shoulders, and a shiver ran through his big body. He turned a haggard face to the window, and stared fixedly at the crimson west. So this is what he had for three consecutive days been watching for-dthis was fatels grim explanation of the disappearance of several articles from the l'resident's ollice. Cecile, the girl he loved, the girl to whom he was engaged,--she was the thief. He heard a low sobbing behind him, then the sound of a small object striking the table with Z1 clear metallic ring, but he did not stir. A moment later the door closed hesitatingly, and he was alone. lkalter started up from his chair and rubbed his eyes. President Steven's kindly lace was bending over him, all smiles. The young man smiled up leebly in return. Guess l must have dozed a bit. No time for sleep now. lYhy,it.'s Christmas lfve, and Xlrs. Stevens ard the little ones assure me there is a fine big dinner waiting for both ol us. I or the lirst time he noticed the open book on the desk. Reading, eh? Xkell. what have we here,f'a bit of poetry? Ifle picked up the open lwczok ard read on the soiled leaf a little poem by l3ourdillon'---- ttf llhe night has a thousand eyes, 'l'he day but one, Yet the light of the bright world dies, Nkith the dying sun. 'l'he mind has a thousand eyes, 'llhe heart, but one: Yet the light ol' a whole life dies, lkhen love is done. 41.6. l,11z:.'. l115l The Eleventh Hour Problem Yes, as usual, the last day and night ofthe Week given us has arrived in which to write a nine-hundred word theme, and not a word written or a thought started. lt. is just eleven olclock now and after digging and scraping forthe last four hours for some idea on which l could at least start, I can scarcely keep my eyes open. lt is a strange thing to believe that our pedagogues of today forget the time when they were poor, striving and humble students such as we are now. That they should suffer us to write a theme of this nature seems to be as great a sin as some of those committed in the time of hloses and the Pharasees. But as the American spirit prevails such as it does I deem it not too great a task to begin to exonerate the burden which prevails upon my mind. l wonder if they think we are young novelists or short story writers? Goodness knows l am not and never shall be, and if the poor attempts l do hereby make are not 'fully appreciated--many, oh, many will be my sorrows. But I think l shall retire for this short night of a few remaining hours and finish this bold attempt when light and freshness of the crisp morning air will aid my feeble brain. But here comes one of the lads in from-question,where? lwonderwhoit is? lt is too early for l,anky,,' that tall room mate of mine, but l don't know of anybody else who could be out. There are about fourteen fellows staying here, and we surely do have the times of our lives in this old place. Our greatest augury is the creaking stairs which warn the entire neighborhood whenever some one comes in late and almost cracks away by itself just for its own amusement. But it was Lanky.' Hello liank-whatls the matter?', There the big lad was standing in the doorway making all kinds of signs for me to keep still-of course l was delighted-especially having him so mysterious. He whispered, Be quiet, there's a burglar in next door and the girls are about crazy with fear. Get dressed quickly-Hurry up. So I pulled ofl my bathrobe and threw on some clothes. You see next door Cthis is a double housej there are about ten girls, and they are all going to school here. The housekeeper Cand eookj was the only other person there. Our fellows for any others for that matterl had never met any of the fair sex in the better halfn of the house. Vie always had a fight for a window when one of them left the house or came home, for they were a very attractive lot of girls. There was one especially-she certainly was a little wonderg but never a chance of her or any of her friends ever even looking at us. By this time l was ready and grabbing my flashlight, we stole down the creaking stairs and out on the front porch. Strange as it may seem, the front door was locked and so were the' windows available, so there was nothing for us to do but to climb up on the porch roof and in thru the window on the second floor. It seems that when l.anky was coming in he was attracted by a girl hanging out of the window, frantically waving her arms to get his attention. She called with a quivering voice that there was a burgler down stairswthey all had heard a noise. Lanky had looked around but of course there was no policemen around and not being crazy about tackling possibly a couple of thieves with guns he had come in after me. We didn't want any more of the bunch. No-ohl No! XVIC could handle any two robbers easily. Yes!! lint we would not admit to each other any slight quakings we might have, so we stepped on the railing and pushed each other up to the roof. There in the window stood a pretty terrified young lady-l guess H161 she was the oldest of all and consequently felt some responsibility. No others were in sight, probably being in closets and under the covers of the beds. The housekeeper was out with a friend and was not expected until late--hence the nervousness and imagination of these silly creatures. But they crawled forth upon our entrance, and they presented a sorry spectacle in the dim light cast by the big arc light on the corner. WVC felt quite like heroes and quickly recovered all our courage. They gathered around whispering excitedly like so many ghosts. But we did not stay a minute for apparently we had our work cut out for us, and lighting the flashlight we crept out of the door and down the hall to the stairs. At every step we would stop and listen, but not a sound could we hear. After much stalling and whispered consultations we got down to the foot of the stairs, and in the hall wayf-thank goodness those steps didnit creak as ours do. l.anky', was breathing just as hard as l was and I think l appreciated his feelings fully. We peeked into the parlourwnothing stirred in the living room--not a soul, in the dining room. Click! on went the lights, we jumped fully four feet, but it was only the girls switching the current from up stairs. TVC next went thru the kitchen and then made a thorough search of the cellar but could find nothing responsible for any noise: and everything seemed to be in its right. place. We did not know for sure but they all looked all right. l suppose the girls must have allowed their imaginations to get the better of them or else they heard some one on our 'famous steps. By the time we returned to the hallway the girls were trooping down the stairs i11 gay colored bathrobes and hair draped artistically around their shoulders. Now they were quite at- tractive and ahl there was my little favorite. She surely was adorable in her unique little costume. lVe all introduced ourselves and a slight sheepishness on the girl's part soon wore off and we had a merry laugh over the whole party. Kly, but weren'ti we heroes?

That sounds like the name of a regular person, but unfortunat.ely he was a boob. At the particular time I am referring to he was sitting in the smoking' compart- ment with a rather bored-looking college chap. As an attempt at starting a con- versation he asked the bored-looking individual if he waslgo-ing to college. Douglas for such was his name was the star half-back of the illinois State College l'oot-Ball lileven. Seeing that the green-looking individual was waiting for an answer he said Yes As the conversation developed Douglas thought he too Would string thb boob. Now to Douglas stringing a boob was to him the greatesti n 4' , K -L1 of all indoor or outdoor sports. The conversation drifted to co ege spot 's ant I 117 I life, until it was time for Douglas to get off. As a parting injunction he told Meeker not to forget the fraternities but to go around the Phi Psi house and then to the Beta House and look at all the fraternities. NVhen you get off the train take a cab up to one of the houses and announce your intention of staying with them a while. Meeker did as he was told. Instead of letting the fraternity seek the man, he sought the fraternity. If the boys at Northwestern were surprised they did not show it, as the rustic individual had told them of his meeting with Douglas, and Douglas was known everywhere for stringing people. Fun was made of hfleeker by all the boys and girls, and the other fraternities joining in the spirit of the thing dated him up for a stay at their respective houses. The boob soon learned the truth of the situation and found that no fraternity Wanted him. He wanted to go home but he found that he had the grit to stay and stick it out. He would live down his mistake and square accounts with Douglas. The football season soon came and the raw material was lined up. Meeker was one of them. Never did a scrub try harder than Meeker. He was always the first on and the last man off the field. At last the team was picked but he found himself only a sub as too many of the last yearls veterans were back. The day of the game with Illinois State College slowly approached. Illinois was sure of winning and Northwestern was resolved to win, or die in the attempt. At last the eventful day arrived. The game was set for two o'clock. As the two teams trotted out on the field cheer after cheer arose from both sides. Final instructions were given, the men took their relative positions, and the whistle blew. The game was onl Meeker sat on the side lines and watched Douglas star as he made his brilliant tackles and dashing runs. It was he who kicked a field goal five minutes after the signal for play had been given. At the end of the first half hfleeker begged to be given a chance. The coach told him that the men on the team were playing like demons and that he certainly couldn't do better. The third quarter passed and neither side scored but Douglas was starring more and more. XVith but ten minutes more to play Nleeker asked that he be put in. Somehow the coach saw something in hleekerls eye and he gave the Usubw a chance. As he marched on the field and one of the Northwestern star players was taken out the rooters could not understand. On the next play Douglas tried a run around h'Ieeker's end. hleeker saw the play and crushed thru the interference and bore Douglas down for a ten yard loss. Two or three of these performances soon awoke Northwestern rooters who had almost abandoned hope. There was one minute more to play. In some manner Nleeker recovered the ball on a fumble and dodged through the Illinois line. He now had a clear field except for Douglas who stood a few yards in front of the goal. He might have tried to dodge Douglas but he headed straight for him. As Douglas went down for the tackle hfleeker drew himself forward. Douglas went backward and lay where he Was, pushed to the ground. lX'Ieeker rolled over and over and across the line for a touch down. The game was saved. Northwestern had won. Nleeker was the hero. After a few days he was visited by many delegations from many of the frater- nities but he graciously declined to be pledged to any. He had accomplished what he had set out to do. He had lived down his mistake, had taken his revenge out of Douglas and he had showed,which counts more than anything, that he was not a boob or a quitter. -fl. Van Dmtfrvz. IIISI Siubbornness The dictionaryndefines Hstubborni' as persistent, resolute, obstinate and in- flexible. All of these adjectives have the same underlying meaning of stead- fastness, and yet when you speak of some one as being stubborn as a muleii you are not generally tendering any rosy-hued compliment such as might be inferred from the suggestion that the one under discussion is resolute or inflexible. Both of these later words seem to convey a deeper meaning, referring to one's character, while Hstubbornu seems to infer a flaw in disposition perhaps. 'However that is not always true. The ear-marks of stubbornness are so varied and numerous that one who is afllicted with it can scarcely escape unnoticed, a square jaw, a cowlick, a square hand or a few spears of hair which obstinately refuse to respond to the brush, and bristle up alertly on the crown of the head. These signs never fail, not even 'Ein dry weatherf, The symbol of stubbornness is that poor over-worked creature mit lange Ohrenn and a rope tail. There are various kinds of stubbornness too. First there is the ludicrous variety that we find in children sometimes, which makes them almost unmanageable unless their feelings are tactfully manipulated, by an understanding parent. 1 heard of a little girl once, who was being punished by her mother for a misdemeanor and had been locked up in a dark clothes-closet for some long weary minutes. The repentent mother stole to the door and gently asked in persuasive tones if the little miscreant was sorry for being naughty. The mother was quite overwhelmed at the defiant intonation of the piping little voice which came from the depths of darkness and clothes, l've spit on your hat, and live spit on your skirt, and now l'm waiting for more spit to spit on your shoesf' No amount of punishment would cause that child to cry or give in, and she was undoubtedly the amusingly stubborn kind. Then you have not met the stubborn person who asserts with zeal his opinion and sticks to it with such tenacity even after he knows in his heart that he is wrong, that your animosity asserts itself as badly as does his mulishness? l'le is too cowardly to change his mind and his sole object is to get the best of the argument. You can grit your teeth and hold fast while he dominates the situation, just be- cause you are above his petty view-point. This is the second species or the dis- gusting kind of stubbornness. But the last variety is the one which means success, and is the laureate stubborn- 11ess born of purpose, and goes hand in hand with the ability to stand alone. The man who sticks to his purpose answeringly is like the eaglcg Calm and strong near unseen goals, The great heart lonely swings, Wfatched Wonderingly by little souls, Xvho only know life's little things And cannot understand what force Lifts him unerring in his course. Sometimes the man with this ability seems to hurl defiance at time, health, and all things which would thwart his purpose, and again he has fluctuating moments when all his strife seems useless and he is tempted to give up the course-but along comes some new inspiration or incentive which lightens his spirits and again invokes the old fighting veteran in him and he goes to work with a set jaw, once more to attain his goal. Stubbornness, then surely ceases to be a fault and becomes a virtue, which is certainly a worthy one and within reach of us all. r -Ilflmz T. Ffldfdf. l1I9l -Elk wi. X I I 'I p lo i 7 ' ' .- A '1' . ALI, ABOARD FOR FLORIDA! XVHICRIC IS CI-IARLIQY NOIV? Etf111z.rl01z Slzzdmilf Nlzzkt' llim T1H'71l6 lla lr Going on Long Trip --Qui! af lf'11g!rfc'00d Probably by this time it has dawned on Charles Holmes of 4022 Sheridan Road, student in Iflvanston Academy, that he has been hazed for a week. liver since he learned the lightweight basketball team was going to Florida to meet the Iieewatin teamn he had set his heart on going along. Only Charley of all the 400 pupils, thc faculty, and the janitors, did not know the trip was only a fabrication. lfven the conduct- or and the porters on the Dixie flyer last night knew the truth. One of Charley's friends, the light- weight basketball team, and Charley left the Academy yesterday afternoon. ltlverybody but the friend carried a well filled suitcase. Before he left Evanston Charley had been called on in chapel by the prin- cipal to make his farewell speech. Charley and his rlotous friends, one of whom had bought all the tickets--to lflnglewoodkgot on the Dixie flyer. W'hen the other fellows one by one piled off the train at Englewood Char- ley was sleepily getting ready to retire. The next stop of the Dixie flyer is Danville. A story of my prep school days. eh, children. Well then, I guess l'll have to make this one funny, for we must laugh in order to keep young. l 120 This story is about a fellow who used to go to school with me, Holmes his name was, and a rather funny fellow too. Had a peculiar habit of crying Geby'l whenever he was arous- ed and had quite a reputation as a fighter and basket-ball player. g, 'WVell sir, one day in the early part of the basket-ball season Charley ex- pressed a wish to play Keewatin Acad- emy which was then at St. Augustine, Florida, in a game of basket-ball. Well, themanager wrote fora game but, owing to the amount of money it would have taken to go down there, the deal fell thru. hlost of us found out that the deal had fallen thru but one day, Charley walked up and asked one of us if we knew whether the game was scheduled or not. Now,l really don't know how it happened but Charley had not heard of the breaking of the date, so one of t.he boys tipping us with the wink, said that the game was on and that the team would leave in about four days. At the time Charley was playing won- derful basket - ball, having caged twenty-seven baskets against Notre Dame in the last. game, so felt sure that lie would be taken on the trip. lVe managed to let everybody in on the joke except Charley and when the eventful day came along Charley was all packed and ready to leave. As Charley was the star of the team he was naturally called up to make t.he farewell speech and right gracefully he did it too. Now the funny part of it all is that we took him to the depot. that evening and all of us got on the train. As the train pulled out we all jumped out and left Charley on the train bound for Florida, alone without a ticket. lVell, I met Charley today and be- cause he never would tell where he went I asked him to tell me after all these years, where he had gone. He only winked and said, 'The first stop was Clinton, Iowa. So I let you judge for yourself' -vj. ll.

We cannot but marvel at the force of this mighty desire which has transformed murky forests into beautiful gardens, made inert matter into machinery, which does the bidding of man and performs his labor, harnessed mighty waters to serve humanity, and is in truth the divine spark which enables him to cope with the tremendous forces of the world over which omnipotence has placed him as a ruler. In order that this desire of accomplishment may become useful to humanity, it must be directed to a specific task, a specific goal. Therefore we ought to con- sider with the greatest care and use our keenest power of observation to select from the many possibilities of life only those which carry with them a promise of real worth and lasting beneficence. lt is vain to labor for desire and covet mere things. Hence we ought. to invest our lives in a manner which will make them of more than fleeting import. Things are material and therefore not lasting. They are made with extreme trouble and much anxiety through many Wearisome years only to bring no satisfaction, no happiness, nothing but vain promises and at last they are left behind at eternityls threshold. lf we covet the gift benign- ancy has bestowed upon us, we ought to build more stately mansions for our thoughts by coveting what we make our perpetual heritage. YVC should let go of worry, in eternity all is serene. How inharmonious are the sounds of our voices in the ears of Him who guides all for our best! How unappreciative we are of our own and other peoples, possibilities when we are endowed -with everything for a life of usefulness. How painfully inconsiderate we are of other peoples' welfare when we encumber their progress by imparting our scorns and fears. lllorry destroys all that is noble, impairs all that is worth achieving, distrusts all that is lovely, kills all that is faithful and brings vain sup- positions and doubting fears. XVC should let go of selfishness: in eternity there is no greed, no separation be- tween yours and mine. So many people have the erroneous idea that riches con- sist in a collection of things. Before the god of mammon they lay down their whole effort, their entire lives, their very souls. Shrunk into their own selfish cover of misery they swallow their own vermin in the shadows ofdeceptionisnight. Trampling over the rights of others they reach their long-wished-for goal only to find it a barren mountain top whose solitary crag stretches towards heaven with a twisted bough of rifted hopes and a naked, staring stiffness. They have reached the summit only to have a better view of the road traveled. And at last when darkness hides the road from view they hear, from the valleys below, the groans of those whose happiness they killed, whose life-blood they drank, whose love they disregarded as nought. Dark hang the clouds overhead, night has come, solitude reigns, and the bitter north wind sends furious blasts whistling over the barren waste. l,et us lay hold on sorrowg in eternity there is nothing but sympathy. How untaught and unfinished are our lives without the appreciation of other peoples' grief! How worthless would our friendships be if we could not understand the secret which sorrow taught! Yllhat is better, what is nobler than to share the lives of others whom we love? To rejoice in their joy, to weep when they weep, to know that their sorrows are ours? Of all things omnipotence devised for human good, the greatest of these is sorrow, for from the griefs of today we awake more strong for the morrow. llfithout sympathy life is worthless, and sorrow is the teacher i124 'I tllf of sympathy. A life untouched by sorrow is like the diamond yet in the mcuntain side: genuine Within, but rough on the surface and unpleasirg to the eye. Sorrow is the grindstone on which providence with skillfull hand cuts and polishes our lives until as a finished product we may glitter in the place which destiny provides. The harder, the more it must be ground, but it will also be the prettier stone when finished. If fate seems hard at the moment know, 0 Soul, that the lesson is not yet finished and that you lack efficiency for the life's task. Wie should lay hold on friendshipg in eternity there is nothing but cordiality and good will. Life without friends sickens the brain and leads to despondency. Wfe must enlarge our lives by the association and experience of our friendsg we must practice the small courtesies, the small considerations, without which genuine good feeling cannot exist. A friend is our greatest treasure, and a good friend should be our greatest pride. With him we share our ideals, to him we confide our troubles and from him we receive comfort. To others we show ourselves in one mood or anotherg to our friend we appear in pure true light. Xifith him we need not be so particularg he sees our defects but remembers our true desire to be good. Our friends reprove our faults, and praise our efforts. Wie desire to be our best in the sight of others, but we consider with greatest care how to be pleasing to our friends. Only by the association of our friends do we learn the true meaning of living for others which is the greatest possible blessing to man. XVC should lay hold on faith: in eternity all is trust. l aith is the power by which we grasp lifefs realities and by which we mount above the sordidness of mortality to a definite touch with God. Doubt is the greatest enemy of mankind. It defeats him when he ought to be brave and fills him with stupefaetion when he ought to be active. By faith we become conquerorsg without it we are failures. Faith is the safeguard of sincerity, the only condition by which love can exist and the only basis of cordiality. W'ithout faith there is nothing good, nothing noble, nothing lovely, for faith cannot dwell with suspicion. By faith we learn to be contented with whatever fate is ours, to be trustful and brave in the defense of good, and vehement in the resistence of evil. With faith in ourselves and in what each of us can do, with faith in our fellow beings and in what they can do, with implicit faith in God and in what He is able to make of any human life, we become the possessors of lifeis highest worth, to live contented in the knowledge that heaven- ly providence meets every human need. -Oskar U . llrzmffi. Campus Dafa The oldest building on the campus, Old College. was erected in 1855 on the corner of llinman and Davis Street. lt was moved in 1871 to its present cite and was enlarged forthe use of the Academy until 1899 when that department was transferred to Fisk Hall. Uld College is now used exclusively for college class- rooms. ln 1869 University Hall was wut t. esit ministrative offices of the College of Liberal Arts, it contains several thousand rare and valuable specimens in the museum on the fourth floor which are divided into sections as follows: Anthropology, liotany, Geology and Zoology. The Anthro- pology Section comprises about 8,000 specimens in aborginal archaeology developed l'1r fel through the interest of Dr. William A. Phillips of lxyanstong several hundred C S- Y specimens of ceramic art from the mounds of lllinois, Wisconsin, lxentuelty, and hffissourig primitive workin stone and copper from the United States and hnglandg - . , - ' 1 . .F and recent additions of m l 'l li ' les the President's ofiice and the ad- aterial from the caves of the cliff-dwelling lueblos o. lI25l tit New Mexico. The Botany Sectio11 contains over I5,000 specimens collected by friends and alumni from all parts of the globe. The Geology Section is made up of typical rocks from this country and Europe as well as miscellaneous specimens from many parts of the world. The Zoology Section comprises a collection too large to be enumerated. The fauna of New South NVales, New Zealand, The Phil- ippine Islands, lndia, Central America, Brazil, British Guiana, Norway, and Russia besides that of the United States is extensively represented. Owing to the lack of room and suitable cases, the museum is not now on exhibition, but is stored awaiting a proper building. The Xlineralogical Laboratory, erected in 1871, was formerly used as the gymnasium. The oflices of the Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds are on the first floor. This building contains the museum of the Section of Nlinerology which embraces specimens of many mineral species in numbers sufficient to illus- trate fully characteristics and occurrence. The Fayerweather lflall of Science, erected in 1886, contains the power plant of the department of Physics and the Chemical Laboratory. The east wing of the building is give11 to Physics and the west wing to Chemistry. Klemorial Hall was erected on the campus for Garrett Biblical lnstitutein 1887. It contains the library and lecture rooms of the lnstitute and a chapel with seating capacity for about five hundred. A museum of Christian Antiquities is installed in the llall and is 017011 to the public. A library has been collected to meet the needs of the theological students. A rare collection of hlethodist. Liter- ature, the largest and richest in existence, has been given to this library by hlr. lYilliam Deering, the donor ol lfislc Hall. ln 1888 the Dearborn Observatory was erected through the generosity of hlr. blames' B. l-lobbs of Chicago, a trustee of the lfniversity. It includes a dome for the equatorial, a medium circle room, a library, lecture-room, dark-room, offices, and a small machine shop, the whole being arranged especially for convenience in astronomical work. llatlield llouse was originally intended for the use of the Academy boys as a dormitory but when l'lecl4 Hall burned in 1914 it was turned over to Garrett Biblical students. lt holds twenty-live bczys. lt was erected in 1890 and remodel- ed by Nlr. blames A. Patten in 1906. l.unt l.ihrary was built in l893g is named after one of the charter trustees, Urrington l.unt, who contributed largely to the fund for its erection: and it is added to at the rate of about seyen thousand pamphlets and volumes a year. 'l'he School of Oratory, Annie Xlay Swift. lflall, was erected during the year 1895. It was named i11 memory ol' a deceased daughter of the late Xlr. Gustavus l . Swift, a trustee of the liniversity and the largest contributor toward the erection ol'tl1ebuilding.5 Xlusic l'lall, erected in ISQ7, is situated en Xlillard lclall Campus. l isl4 Hall, erected in 1898, was the gilt of the late hlr. lYilliam Deering and was named in honor of Professor llerbert. l ranlclin lfislq, Principal of the Academy from 1873 to 1904. A line three manual Casayant pipe organ, gift of the alumni ofthe College of l.iberal Arts is used for chapel exercises as well as for practice purposes. Swift Hall of lfngineering was completed in IQCQ. The new gymnasium, erected recently, at a cost of over f300,000, through the generosity of Klr. ,lames A. Patten, is one of the largest. and best equipped in the country. lilgin Academy and Grand Prairie Seminary are both owned by the Northwest- er11 University.

Jlifl'.1fJ1Pff.,...J Our Faculty WILBUR I-IELM Nat attended the public schools and read all about Robert Reid who never used tobacco because it was a filthy weed. Therefore, at the age of seven he paid a jit for three cheroots-the kind that used to come in paper boxes-and took his first lesson in the vacant lot behind the livery stable. Little did he think that this one severe headache would turn his footsteps towards the abolishment of said weed in the Evanston Academy of Northwestern University. The early years of Natis career were crowded with experiences. Almost every summer a medicine show would come along and once he went to the County Seat to see the Van Amburg Circus that carried one elephant and thirty-eight shell workers. One of his prin- ciple joys was to see the train go through. lrlow he envied the conductor with box- toed boots and the rollicking brakeman with braidon his clothes! For it was their blessed privilege to get into Peru every other night and see a good show. Probably the Rentz-Shantley Company of Female Minstrels. I-low the memories cluster around the little red school house! lt was just as popular as any jail. And the teacher! Do you recall, Nat, the morning you slipped in early and wrote on the blackboard in a disguised black-hand? ' Oh, Lord of Love, Look from Above And pity us poor scholars! They've hired a fool To teach our school And pay him forty dollars! This was indeed a bright period in Nat's life. He did not worry about the high cost of living. If assailed by the pangs of hunger all he had to do was to sneak up to the buttery and swipe a few slabs of salt-rising bread. He was ready for his vittles without the aid of Bronx and lylartini. All through the placid, golden hours of the summertime he played Two-Old-Cat and when the somber pall of darkness settled on the earth his only problem was to get to bed without holding his feet under the pump. ' LOYD CLINTON HOLSINGER Clint was born in a hamlet that came very near being on the Nickel Plate but failed in this secondary ambition. lt was bounded on the North by a patch of Jack-Oaks, on the liast by a frog preserve, on the South by a wide stretch of open country sparsely settled with basketballs and bats and on the VVest by I,OO0,000 acres of virgin wilderness set aside for the future development of Evans- ton. Those passing through could not see the burg unless there happened to be a !I32l freight train or a cow standing in the way. This is the identical town which Nat says you can remember as the one which had two English sparrows on the telegraph pole. Clint looked out of the window one morning a11d sized up his birth-place and then he turned and formally thanked his parents for allowing him to be born in Illinois. There was the ole swimmin hole. Every town has one, so that former residents who are living in large cities will have something to cry out for 3t2A.A1. when the Scotch is standing high in the gauge. The ole swimmin hole is all right to refer to in a sentimental vein, but it is an awful thing to be used for ablutionary purposes. The ole swimmin hole patronized by Clint and his depraved associates in crime was bordered with cat-tails and willows, with I,ooo,ooo,ooo malignant germs in every drop of water. When tired of childish play he would slip off to the hay-mow and study the works of Anaxagoras, Galileo and Pithagoras, thus storing his mind with useful knowledge for use in after life. He attended Sunday School with great regularity just before Christmas and joined Church every winter in order to make the revival a success. But as usual, the great city called him. After spending much time and little money in looking for a job he met Nat Helm who spoke pleasantly to him, and life began to assume new possibilities. GEORGE WASHINGTON FURRE Y George started out on his own hook upon a very notable career. After leaving home he arrived at a boarding house in Peck Court where he was assigned to a hall bed room. The architect called it a closet. The next day he went to call on Tom Edison who had once known his father. The man was very kind to him, giving him a letter of introduction to the superintendent of a large concern, who happened to be in Europe at the time, and then showing him how to get back to the elevator. Everywhere his application was placed on file. I-le called that a Hellva Help. To follow this adventurous and interesting account of Ceorgeis life is not the purpose of this brief sketch. He shortly concluded to abandon his original intention of becoming general manager so he started with six-hundred others in a two-acre office. As he was foxy enough to get acquainted with the female relatives of his employer he speedily increased his ability and the boss gave him him a lift. He moved to a European Hotel, gave up detachable cuffs, began to wear a monogram on the sleeve of his shirt and went in for an extra pair of sus- penders which is the first sign of nervous prosperity. lVhen he was pinched one day for speeding in WVinnetka, the reporters all mentioned him as a prominent clubman, which would indicate that he had been going some since he had landed here with just one pair of everything. He wanted a home of his own, something Col- onial with a Porte Cochere on the side, an iron fence in front and a first mortgage covering the whole thing. Only one thing could happen to him and it happened. He picked out one of the nicest girls that ever sat through a Thomas Concert and began to hound her with jewelry. Her parents investigated him and found that he came from a very good family and was held in the highest esteem by all the Academy students who knew him. So they were glad to have him in the family. l133l He was married in a church one night and the next day some of his friends who were present told him all about it. Now we find him really and truly arrived. He could cash a check without being measured and photographed. He had his name on the end of his desk. But he too fell into the hands of Nat and was beguiled into the Garden Spot of America, as W. B. referred to The Flower Burg of the North Shore, Evanston, in one of his Chautauquas. LICWIS HART WELD. Uncle Lewis has been away from us for a year now. He has been down to his old home town to see if the old rubesi' wouldn't come around and ask him to come across for a Carnegie Library, a new Chautauqua, etc., etc., etc. It occurred to him one day while working in the laboratory after school that he would like to go back home and buy a farm and raise chickens and have a lot of white-faced steers standing around to be kodaked. When a wealthy city man begins to figure on raising 54,000 worth of chickens annually on an investment of QQIO75, it means that either he is unduly prosperous or that reason has begun to totter on her throne. He wanted to get back to the soil. He wanted to try a few experiments that he had thought of in the laboratory but did not then have the required facilities for such. He wanted to exchange his swallow-tail for a sweater and beat his mashie into a plow-share. He got his first jolt when he began his progress up the con- gested thoroughfare of a populous town with arc lights, policemen in uniform, moving picture shows, delicatessen stores and all the by-products of advancing civilization. He stopped at a corner in front of a large pressed brick structure labelled First National Bank. Our hero approached a stranger standing in the doorway surveying the busy scene with an easy air of proprietorship, a portly gentleman in tailor-made clothes and dripping with precious stones. Uncle Lewis asked what road he should take to find his native village. To which the stranger made reply as follows: You are now standing at the corner of Broadway and Colfax Avenue in that self-same burg but the choice building lots which I am about to sell you are located two miles to the east on the new trolley line in a resi- dence suburb known as Atica Park. Our Hero fell on his face in a dead faint and when he came to he asked to be taken home. . OTTO SILILIQR Otto was meant for a lawyer unless it should develop that he had weak lungs, in which case he was to be a preacher. Soon after he entered Illinois he acquired a Frat-Pin, a short cutaway coat and a pack of sweet caps and learned to carry the basso part in My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean, which training stood him in good stead in years to come in the Academy Chapel Rallies. He took a leading part in all st.udent activities involving petit larceny, trespass, willful destruction of property and disturbing the peace, thereby laying broad and strong the foundation l134l lll of his future usefulness as a member of the Facility of livanston Academy. As a student he was only middling. He never equalled the record of Andy Weaver of Carroll College, who, early in his Sophomore year, began to instruct the Faculty. ANDREW THOMAS WILAVICR Approach, Sir Andrewl Not to be abcd after midnight is to be up betimesg and diluculo surgere, thou knowestf' His masterly oration of the impending between capital and labor is still being used by some of the brightest undergrad- uates up and down Sheridan Road. After receiving his A. M. degree from VVis- consin he found himself face to face Capologies to Tom lVlurrayD with the great world. Father thought he should not settle down at home and undertake a course in light reading. Should he walk around and around the public square, shaking hands with all the influential hayseeds, until they urged him to become Prosecuting Attorney at the staggering stipend of fI,2OO a year? Or should he prostitute his talents by working in a bank? The town banker, who knew him as a boy advised him not to. Wlhy not move unto the great city of Chicago and make his fortune in the giant city of the VVest. If such fellows as Nat Helm, and Otto Seiler, and Tom Nightingale and other such ordinary products of the swamps and tall timber could go up there and make a success, actually fool the public, it looked as though it ought to be a pipe for a really brilliant fellow who had take11 a degree. HARRY Tl IOMAS N1GHTlNGAI.l'I At the age of three we find him taking an active part in politics. His father had taken him on his knee and explained that the universe was roughly divided into two partsg one consisting of the snow-white patriots identified with our party and the other a mongrel horde of pusillanimous papsuckers known as the enemy. This belief lingered with him until years later when he began to get his orders direct from Herman Kohlsaat and James R. Smart and then he learned that both parties needed a little chloride of lime. Tom ofte11 confided to Nat his plans for the future. He wanted to grow up and have a full set of whiskers and be elected to Congress. He could see himself in a Prince Albert coat, standing on a temporary platform in Court House Grove, telling the Yaps just how the Tariff had affected the price of steel rails. ALVIN PISRCY B RADLY Once there was a Chicago man with a past. Those who saw him dipping into the real Astrakhan Cavicr at 591.75 per throw at the Avenue House infested by our best people, little suspected that he had been at one time merely an obscure unit in a large family of children in a town that never would have been brought to light except for Rand and hIcNally. Our hero was known to his grandmother lI35l as Alvin Percy Bradley. His associates in the Juvenile outlaw band that made existence a livi11g Avernus for the town marshall, called him Pere. The teacher called him about three times a day. But it is not the start that countsg it is the Hnish. Some of the most precocious infants of '65 to ,75 are now staying nights at the Hotel Monnett and Niles Center. Perhaps the Bad Boy of the Village is at present a member of the Union League Club! VVho can tell? MICHIQLE A. VACCARIISLLO. Vac never would tell us what the initial Af, stood for, because he thought we had enough to do to carry around his hind monaker. It is said, and by reliable authorities, too, that he never did burn as much mid-night-oil as Tom, aforemen- tioned, but he managed to pull through, and all diplomas look alike after they are framed and hanging on the wall. Vac', took in all the taffy pulls and kissing parties and finally worked up to oyster suppers, just before his parents decided that inasmuch as he refused to work, they had better give him a higher education. It required an order from court to get him into the reform school so they compro- mised by sending him to a sectarian institution. It was not exactly a Seminary and hardly large enough to be a College, so it was billed as a University. DR. COWDEN DOC LAUGHLIN The proof offered by Doc that E. A. is a big school is that we strongly believe i11 emphasizing the 1'ercading of our deutschen Aufgaben. And here one finds a slight discrepancy in his make-up. Although he lays stress on the wieder-lesen, he sees no reason whatsoever for the necessity of studying German. In fact, the Ger- man tongue will become obsolete, or if not it should. To quote the Herr Philosoph Cliair Fullosoapj: Germans never were any good anyway. Mercy mel Miss Gebhardt what makes you so solemn? WVhy don't you laugh? You know class, I have never seen McClure yawn, and as for talking to Nelson,why he never would think of it if Nelson did not bother him so much. Class, wouldn't you be sur- prised to hear Miss Smith and Miss VVatt recite correctly for a change? But to get back to my original discourse. Don't Waste any more time studying German, Class. lt wonit do you a bit of good. Don't you think, Class, it was a pretty mean trick of the Kaiser's to keep out of fights for the past forty years and just prepare for a big fight when the time came and take the world unawares? Yes, that was not at all-Class, how would you translate that not at all?'? What! Nobody knows? Why, Hgar nicht,,' of course. There is not much known about Doc's early career but we expect that he must have been some boy for he is quite the kidder now. l-le is an awful good scout, but he's a bachelor and you know what becomes of them. Doc is the proud possessor of a ranch way out West and he's invited us all to come out and see him after he has gotten through with cate- chising us. l136l CHRISTIAN J. BANN I CK Christian had not advanced very far on his cruise of life before he was found at the club making trouble for the house committee and letting prunes pass out of his range of knowledge and he became better acquainted with hot-house grapes. The girls have always taken him around a good bit and seem very fond of him. Ile is a good looking chap, straight shoulders, and long-limbed, with a pair of shoulders the Lord gave him and that he doesnit owe to any tailor. So many men owe their shoulders to their tailors, and sometimes too, they owe their tailors for their shoulders, and very often the broader the shoulders the longer their tailors wait. There a great. many things in this world which require a little padding: the con- versations at a social function, the excuses of a married man, and the vows of a lover, but J doesnit believe in padding either a manfs credit or his shoulders. Yes, he is a good-looking chap, a really beautiful nose about which he is sometimes conceited. He has an adorable mouth about which he should be eonceited. It can be stern and forbidding,or tender and Whimsical,whichever its masterpleases. The way he can turn a pretty girl's head is a caution, or, better perhaps, an indiscretion. Wherever Christian has been there have always been girls, but now itismueh moreserious,for there is only one girl. Queer how much more dangerous one girl is than a dozen. XVC 11ever did have a good head for figures Cthough sl has a good eye for themj, but it would seem if one girl is alluring, twelve girls would be just twelve times as alluring. But this only applies to the first row in the orchestra. This is such a little girl that it is difficult for us to understand how she could have such a remarkable effect upon a big, brave, clever man like him. Several members of a woman's club were chatting with a little daughter of their hostess. I suppose you are a great help to your mammaf, said one. Oh, yes, replied the little hliss Utley, and so is Lithelg but it is my turn to count the spoons today after the company is gonef' When unexpected company came to dinner, little Edna Rowen was told pri- vately that she and mother would have to have oyster soup without the oysters. The young lady was much flattered at her share in this sacrifice to hospitality, and apparently disappointed when she found one small oyster in her plate. I-lold- ing it up on the spoon, she inquired in a stage whisper: KIother, shouldn't Mrs. Smith have this oyster, too? Klrs. Corlett stepped out on the porch one day to see if Little Billie could be seen playing, and was just in time to discover him running for home with a most terrified expression on his face, caused by a friendly little dog tagging after him. His mother called, NVhy are you running from that little dog? He won't hurt youlu To which he replied, with quite an air of disdain, Mother, don,t you suppose that deg knows I,m full of bones? Little hflarion hleclure was not feeling well one day and so she XVCIII to the doc- tor's. The doctor gave her a mustard plaster and told her to put it on her chest. A few days later the two met. I Q VVell, lXf'Iarion, how do you feel?', inquired the doctor. ' ' fWVhy, doctor, I didn,t have any chest to put that plaster on so I just put it 79 on my band-box and it drew my new Ifaster bonnet all out of shape. I 1371 NOW LAUGH!

Krumm- I-lot-waterf, A PATHETIC DISCOURSE ON HUGGING IN Tl-IE PARKS The law-abiding people of this Academy were startled Tuesday, and the greatest indignation prevailed at an editorial in the Acadfmiau denouncing hugging in the public parks. The article went on to show that the placing of seats in the parks leads to hugging, and the editor denounced hugging in the most insane manner possible. The .4cadf1nicui advises the removal of seats from the parks because hugging is done on them. Great Heavens! Has it come to this? Are the dearest rights of the American citizen t.o be abridged in this way?

People do not hug for wages -that is, except on the stage. Nobody is obliged to hug. It is sort of a spon- taneous combustion, as it were, of the feelings, and has to have proper conditions of the atmosphere to make it a success. Parties who object to hugging are old, usually, and have been satiated, and are like a lemon that has done duty in a circus lemonade. If they had a job of hugging, they would want to hire a man to do it for them. A man who objects to a little natural, soul-inspiring hugging on a back seat in a park, of an evening, with a fountain throwing water all over little cast-iron cupids, has probably got a soul, but he hasnit got it with him. To the student of nature, there is no sight more beautiful than to see a flock of people taking seats in the park, after the sun has gone to bed in the west, and the moon has pulled a fieecy cloud over her face for a veil, so as not to disturb the worshippers. A couple, one a male, and the other a female, will sit far apart on the cast-iron seat for a moment. when the young lady will try to fix her cloak over her shoulders, and she can't fix it, and then the young man will help her and when he has got it fixed he will go off and leave one arm around the small of her back. He will miss his arm, and wonder where he left it, and will go back after it, and in the dark he will feel around with the other hand to find the hand he left, and suddenly two hands will meet, they will express astonishment, and clasp each other, and be so glad that they will begin to squeeze,and the chances are that they will cut the girl in two, but they never do. Under such circumstances a girl can exist on less at- mosphere than she can when doing a washing. There is just so much hugging that has to be done, and the Acadwniavi should remember that very many people have not the facilities at home for such soul- stirring -work, and they are obliged to Hee to the parks, where the benificent city government has provided all of the modern improvements. Hugging is as necessary to the youth of the land as medicine to the sick, and instead of old persons, whose days of kittenhood are over, throwing cold water on the science of hugging they should encourage it by all legitimate means. Wihen, strolling through the parks, you run on to a case of sporadic hugging, instead of making a noise on the gravel walk, to cause the huggers to stop it, you should trace your steps noiselessly, get behind a tree, and see how long they can stand it without dying. Instead of removing the cast-iron seats from the parks, we should be in favor of furnishing reserved seats to the old people,so they can sit and watch the hugging. It doesn't do any hurt to hug. People think it is unheal- thy, but nobody was known to catch cold while hugging. It is claimed by some that young people who stay out nights and hug, are not good for anything the next day. There is something to this, but if they didnit get any hugging they wouldnit be worth a cent any time. They would be all the time looking for it.

Profanity may be said to have had its origin in the irresistible impulse of the animal man to relieve a boiling condition of the blood corpuscles by the emission of expletives beginning with the fourth letter of the alphabet. This is evidenced by the popular forms drat, dern,,, ding,,' dang,,, dod-gastf, deuce, dog- gone, Dieu, dash,,' dickens,,' diable,', dunder, Dios, culminating in the gem of gems, damn, ln its original conception and early development profanity took the guise of prayer, probably of the commoner of unanswered variety. Early oathmakers swore by their sword-hilts, their grandfathers, beards, the body of Bacchus, and the breath and splendor of God. Profanity has lost largely in picturesqueness however, the modern swearer proclaiming by his hide, his soul, His Satanic Majesty, time, and Hades. Profanity is punctuated by exclamation-points, brickbats, cudgels, and tears, and is often accompanied by the whirr of missiles and the clang of the patrol-wagon. Among the more accomplished profane linguists are parrots, pirates, and circus canvasmen. Historical swearers include Admiral Farragut, who consigned the torpedoes to the nethermost depths of Mobile Bay, and Commodore Vanderbilt, who, if history may be believed, made a somewhat similar disposition of the public, R. lX'l.'

When he goes deep you never hear him. Whales spend their time in ocean travel and taking the air. There was once a whale named George Xklashington. His father had caught a favorite man and had put him into the refrigerator to keep, when George happened along and swal- lowed him. Georgels father, missing Jonah, which was the name of the dainty, suspected George, and took him out into a back ocean current. George thereupon began to weep salt tears, but said: 1 ather,I cannot tell you a tale. 1 swallowed Jonah with my little swallowerf' XVhales are used to lubricate sewing machines, to decorate museums of un- natural history, and to reduce woman's waist-line to a pulp. live always heard that fleas were black, But I don't think it's sog For Mary had a little lamb Whose Heas,' were white as snow. hlary had a little lamb, Itis fleece was white as snow, It followed her to Pittsburgh- Now look at the darn thing.

A healthful and beautiful site. 2. Adequate buildings and equipment, including library, laboratory and gymnasium. 3. An earnest and democratic cosmopolitan student bodv. 4. A faculty of experts, who have adopted teaching as their life work. 5. Excellent athletics, under faculty control. 6. Freedom from commercialism, politics and nar- rowness. 7. A moral atmosphere based on the teachings of Christ. Evanston Academy possesses all these characteristics to a greater degree than any preparatory school in America. This is not an idle statement, but canbe proven by facts. Send for its beautifully illustrated book Student Life at Evanston Academy, Its Instruc- tion and Courses of Study, or better still call and ex- amine the school. We almost never lose a prospective student who personally investigates the school so re- markable are its real characteristics.
