FAIRMONT COLLEGE LtSRA f ° -HE K 1129 ©UMD THE. YEARBOOK r II 1aikmomt.Wv a . 1 o re $00 J WEET as the rest of evening after a long day of toil comes the picture that Memory has painted — beautiful in Vermillion, green and gold. Yet how much greater is the picture of progress that time has painted upon the world. This book, tho ' but one fluttering leaf in time ' s picture, has its pages written with progress. The red man came — the roaming hunter tribe, warlike and fierce, and the mound-builders vanished from the earth. Thus shall we vanish in this vast incomprehensible progress of struggling humanity on life ' s infinite pilgrimage. But let us leave as did the mound-builders, a civilization of our own, one that shall last as long as the sun rises in the East and closes its journey by resting beyond our beloved hills in the West. F Fr - r1 ' r; - ■ ' ' • Mfcy 46548 Walter Barnes Gentleman Author Philosopher Educator This Mound Is Respectfully Dedicated f oseph jy ,osiev President of the Fairmont State Normal School For the past twenty years President Rosier has done work in the City of Fairmont. He was elected Superintendent of the Public Schools of this city in 1 900 and held this position for a period of 1 5 years, the most progressive period the city has ever known. Mr. Rosier has been President of Fairmont Normal since 1915, during which time the Fairmont Normal has evolved into Fairmont State Teachers ' College, recently recognized by The North Central Asso- ciation of Colleges and Secondary and the American Association of Teachers ' Colleges. (Class A standing.) The faculty and students feel obligated to President Rosier to his suc- cessful efforts to establish us with this high standing. s? c 7 (O - ' v_ o wur School We hail Thy presence as the morning glow. Thine absence as the intellectual night; We bless Thee hourly for Thy guiding light — Above all in virtuous truth Thou dost bestow Upon Humanity a light to show The trend of progress in its hurried flight Past corridors of Time and out of night, Prophetic sounds, and loud dost Thou echo. Many, they who from Despair ' s unhallowed bed Have arisen at Thy soft-murmured words, Let there be light! Not impotent, pallid, dead Walls: Fame and high renown hold up Thy swords In Thy defense, while memories are read Attribute more than glory, Thy reward. Edward Offner.

What does it mean? The realization of ideals? We answer no, but we realize that the past four years have been a definite step to- ward our goal. Four years ago we entered school, green, timid and self-conscious, but filled with ambition and school spirit. We spent the first year in becoming accustomed to school routine and everyday life. The second and third year we gained more confidence, and began to take part in school activities. Our talents received recognition. We gained much valuable experience and feel that we have contributed generously to the growth of our college. This year our talent has been used largely in leadership in many school activities. We are leaving this excellent and beloved institution for adventure in the great world. We are glad to go because we realize we are needed. We shall give of ourselves freely, and hope that our college may be proud of us in future years. Yet it is with great sorrow that we leave behind our wonderful school days and go forth to meet our fate. It is with these emotions, both sorrow and joy, that we leave our beloved Alma Mater.

They have been very out- standing in all the campus activities, contributing half of the first football team, a large percentage of the basketball squad, leaders in dramatics — in fact, leaders in every phase of school life. Great things are expected of this class in its last year if it keeps up the pace it has already set.

By the beginning of this year we were ardent supporters of the rules, and had the pleasure of seeing much improvement in the interest that our members had in various activities, because of the enforce- ment of the rules. We have engaged in many of the school activities of the year. Our class party was one of the most delightful affairs of the college. Though we feel that this has been one of the happiest and most progressive years of our ex- perience, we are looking forward to the time when we shall be ranked as Juniors and then, last but not least, Seniors.

We hope that we shall be successful as we have had such practical training for two years. Our experiences have been broadening. Through our practice teaching we have experienced a glimpse of the real life. Our professors have enabled us to grasp many useful ideas and, most important of all, we feel that we are leaving, if only for a short time, with a deeper insight into life and a broader love for our instructors. In addition to our personal gains we have contributed much to the spirit of the school. We have active members in many of the organizations of the school. One of the most successful parties of the year was given by our class in the honor of the Junior Normal Class. We feel that by hard work we have attained a degree of success in school life. Will you not wish us even greater success for the future years?

These are the students upon whom were placed the responsibilities, to whom were committed the destinies of the year-book. These are the MOUND Builders. That these young men and women have worked hard goes without saying; the mere routine and mechanical labor of assembling enough material to fill a book of this size, the time and energy needed for solution of the financial, literary, esthetic, and social problems involved in such an enterprise are great. That they have worked adequately and intelligently is also clear: the excellence of this book proves that. They may have the gratification of knowing that their faithful and thoughtful labor will give to the students of the school keen pleasure now and increasing pleasure throughout the years to come. As a permanent record of the activities, the events, and the experiences of the one year at Fairmont, their MOUND compares favorably indeed with similar records of the past, and in some respects sets a new and higher work. Thanks to the MOUND BUILDERS. Walter Barnes. UNPHOTOGRAPHED MEMBERS OF THE 1928 MOUND STAFF Literary Editor Asst.

During the past year various activities have been sponsored by the club which were enjoyed by the student body, faculty, and members of the organiza- tion. Some of the social functions were the T. B.

The membership is not confined to any particular type, but each member must have certain specific qualities. No candidate for membership will be considered unless he has done at least sixteen hours satisfactory school work in this institution, and no member will be considered active unless he continues to meet all the scholastic require- ments made by the school. After a number of candidates were pledged to the Omicron Pi Fraternity this school year, the Charter was closed while the work of organization was being carried on. The charter was then again opened for a brief period, and a limited number of candidates began their preparatory work required by the Fraternity. A number of social activities and amusements have been sponsored by the Omicron Pi this year, although we were handicapped by getting started late in the term. However, we look forward to next year as one that will hold many bright activities under the auspices of the Fraternity.

The purpose of the organization is to promote the study of chemistry and physics in Fairmont College, and to further work in chemistry as a profession. It is a policy of the fraternity for the members to attend scientific lectures at other institutions, and to invite chemists from outside for instruction. Mr. Rogers and Mr. Haught, who are in charge of the Depart- ment of Chemistry, are honorary members, and direct the work of the fra- ternity. Lambda Delta Lambda has had several opportunities to become a na- tional fraternity, but has declined because of its comparative youth. Prospective candidates for this fraternity must be good fellows, high in scholastic standing, with an average of B in scientific work. Several inter- esting initiations are held each year. It is a common occurrence to see pledges wearing some form of chemical equipment around the main building for about a month previous to initiation. It is the custom of the fraternity to have two banquets during the year: one during the Christmas holidays, and the other some time in May. At these banquets old graduates meet with the active members and renew friendship and pleasant memories. Frequent programs are given by the members of the fraternity and many interesting topics are discussed. This gives each member an opportunity to ap- pear on the program several times during the year. After the program or the ritual form of the initiation a social hour is enjoyed.

The fraternity was organized here during the school year of 1924-1925, ours being the Alpha Cast. In the three years since organization, Alpha Psi Omega has grown until at present there are forty chapters, which makes it the second largest fraternity of its kind in the United States. Every year each cast selects a number of students for initiation into Alpha Psi Omega, election to membership being based upon the roles played, the qual- ity of the acting, and other dramatic efforts. This year when the college opened there were eight members of the Alpha Cast in school, but the production of two major plays the first semester has made several students eligible to member- ship at this time. Each spring the Alpha Cast holds an initiation in conjunc- tion with a home-coming for the Alumni. This is always a social function of note, and is looked forward to with warm enthusiasm. -4 1 00 }. •• 3 ■ 3 4 r V S 1 ( m cv Zeta Befa P ? ' C_ s ETA BETA PHI, honorary Biological fraternity, is a comparatively young organization, having but recently come into being. The Biology de- partment has until the past two or three years occupied a rather obscure place among the various courses offered here; but at present under competent instruc- tors, it is making rapid strides forward. The organization, it is hoped, will bring about a more unified effort and promote a thorough interest in the Biological field. Prospective candidates must rate high in scholastic standing; the majority of grades in this branch of scientific work have to be B. At this time the membership is limited because of the fact that but few have been able to obtain desired work in this field. However, as the depart- ment progresses, the enrollment will doubtless increase accordingly.

In a short time, these girls have made rapid progress and gained popularity for themselves as an organization. While the mean- ing of their three T ' s is secret, the Tri-Tau may be known as an organization that believes that friendship is the only way to develop a truly democratic spirit; and it will stand back of every worthy undertaking attempted by any other organization. It will uphold the school, its spirit, its traditions, and its undoubted progress. With Miss Vivian Reynolds as their adviser, the Tri-Tau will doubtless continue to rise in the opinion of Fairmont State College.

It is now one of the oldest organizations on the compus. By following a policy of producing only plays of highest quality, the work of dramatists of recognized merit, the club has a reputation that is not merely firmly established in the community, but through- out the State. The work of the cast in The Family Upstairs at West Liberty was acclaimed the best artistic skill ever displayed by amateurs and much com- ment was accorded the Masquers and their director by the Wheeling papers. The exchange of plays with West Liberty State Normal School seems to be the first step taken in intercollegiate dramatics in the State. The 1927-28 season was started with the performance of The Family Upstairs, ' by Harry Delft. Romeo and Juliet, the Club ' s first venture in Shakespeare, was a very spectacular, artistic production, and a financial success. The Hilltop Players of West Liberty brought their play The Tightwad, to Fairmont. This play was well received and the club enjoyed the opportu- nity to return the hospitality extended to our cast while there.

The unique color scheme of the new uniforms, which were inaugurated atjhe beginning of the 1927-1928 school year adds quite a bit to the pep and appearance of the club. The colors are those of the school: Maroon and white. Among the various activities sponsored by the club, the F. S. C. Vanities was the most successful.

Under the guidance of a council of nine members, and the most capable leadership of Mrs. Katherine H. Roberts, Director of Physical Education for Women, a constitution was drawn up which made for the promotion of better sports, love for the out-of-doors, good fellowship, and physical efficiency. Many interesting things were tried out during this first year, and certainly paved the road for the successful summer term of ' 27, and winter term of ' 27 and ' 28. Not alone in winter do we have our fun, but in summer. Though hav- ing only a very short time in which to become acquainted, the season went over big. Swimming, camping — oh, what a life! If in the long, hot sum- mer, school begins to lag and you begin to feel sort of lazy and don ' t careish, and you wish for — well, something different, something which will liven things up a bit, what could be more inviting than an Outing Club trip to a favorite camping or swimming olace? And that is just exactly what we do. -4( 108 •- 1 M PThlHL ' - ' . 1 1 ▼ i The social element as well as the recreational enters into our club. At the end of each school year a farewell banquet and dance is held. This is the one big thing in our social activities and we all look forward to it, certain of a happy send-off. We all know that social development is a phase of col- lege life which is necessary to the growth of any college. This year we have had hiking, camping, basketball, baseball, tennis and swimming, to say nothing of other minor activities. Many girls have been interested enough to make the coveted number and variety of O. C. points, and so gained the honor of wearing our club pin, a symbol of physical ef- ficiency and the great out-of-doors. And now we are all set for another booming year. We are always glad to be a booster for anything, which is for the better- ment of our school. CABINET President Bessie Stalnaker Vice-President Tamar Davis Correspondence Sec.

The girls are represented by a Ways and Means committee. This com- mittee is chosen every semester, and it confers with Miss Gibson and Miss Helen Fisher, house president, on any important questions. In other words, it is a general regulatory committee. Girls living in Morrow Hall have abundant opportunities to develop in all lines. The social life is well organized.

The Student Body fosters the Student Council, a cabinet which discusses school organizations and their problems, and submits its report to the Student Body. Each year the Student Body has several parties and social affairs, among which are the following: Student mixes, which give all the students a chance to b ecome acquainted; Hallowe ' en, a masked affair, and Home-Cooking, a cele- bration for all the alumni.

S. C. must turn out a very strong team, and that an early start must be had. It means that we need every man available who can play football and those who never saw a football to turn out. It means we need the backing of the student body with both spiritual and financial aid. Good management, good coaching, and the support of the student body alone will not make a football team. Football players make a team, and every man in school should turn out. The past season, we say cannot be called a successful one from a scoring standpoint, but the fact that a team does not win every game in the field is no reason why it should be ridiculed and shunned. Nor is there any reason why men should be ashamed or have the idea in their minds that they are too good to come out. For in spite of their shortcomings, the real spirit is there. They turned out whether it was raining or snowing. They played games against p owerful opponents, putting all their strength and energy in their playing to keep up the standard of the Maroon and White. It is left to the manhood of the student body to determine the success of next year ' s team. -4 122 } CHARLES McDADE Mickey, ' ' as a quarterback, was one who added much to the prestige of the team. Mickey ' s Irish blood showed at expected of him next year. all times. Great things are ALTON STEALEY Tub. a former Marshall star, is noted for his great defensive work. Tub played the position of fullback. He is one of our battering rams. As captain of next year ' s eleven he should prove to be a real leader. PAUL HEFNER Rink. a necessity to our team, will depart from our midst this year. Rink played at halfback, and had a determination that pushed his team to victory several times. Rink was one of the most fleet running backs in scholastic circles, and was feared by all his opponents. HERBERT HENRY Hug is one of the most consistent halfbacks F. S. C. has seen. He could hit off tackle, run ends, and intercept passes. Hug has good football brains, and he helps his team to victory at all times. JARRETT HAMILTON Jay Hamilton, former Hundred high school basketball star, playing his first year on the varsity, made quite a name for himself by his flashy play at end during the latter part of the season. It was only the second year of foot- ball for the speedy Hundred boy, who was initiated into the fall sport when he enrolled here in 1925. 123 fy CHARLES McCOY Charles, a giant tackle, filled his berth with satisfaction. His work was always done with an earnestness and conscientiousness which won the admira- tion of all those who saw him perform. PATSY TORK Nearly every man had a good day. and most of them were off form at least once, but Tork. the smallest man of the whole crew, seemed to be one exception. At least he was never noticed to fall below first-class form. JOHN GUMP Gump was one of the mainstays on the team. His opponents stood about as much chance of shoving him back as they would were they backing up against a steam roller. We admire the work of Johnny. CAROL MICHAEL Mike, who has completed four years of football fame, played left end this year. On defensive and offensive his opponents found him to be a real threat. His playing is of finished and smooth quality which always char- acterizes the veteran football man. KENNETH HAUN Haun jumped from high school ranks to a place on the varsity in one leap and he certainly made the grade. While at Fairmont high school, he ranked as one of the best guards in the state. Coming to college in the fall, he earned himself a regular position from the very start. There were few men who put as much endeavor into their work as Haun. -4 124 - CECIL WHITE Whitey played a regular guard. He was a tower of strength to the line, and a dynamo on the offense. He was responsible for much of the good work done by the Maroon and White. He was a steady, faithful worker. SCOTT DAVIS The big boy from Grafton, whose previous work on the gridiron had been confined to the guard position, was shifted out to a tackle post at the start of the 1927 year, and, though new at that job, he made the best of it, developing into a very capable man during the latter part of the season. JOHN HESS Hessy, as a first-year man, shows promises of making a great quarter- back. We hope to see him become an F. S. C. star. LAWRENCE LOSH Grafton High has been pretty much a prep school for Fairmont College athletes ever since Jasper Colebank took up the reins as coach here. Losh is another lad from the Taylor county seat, and while he didn ' t make the first team, he was first-string reserve, confining most of his activities to center. Here he made a creditable showing when he was put into the game. HUGH MARTIN Hugh has been out for two years, and succeeded in winning his letter. Hugh is a good tackle, and although not a regular, his determination was a great help to F. S. C. team. _. al 1 ? 5 la....- I MEARL ATKINS Atkins played in a substitute role during a greater part of the season, but he did get in some fine work when called upon. His main forte was punting and there wasn ' t a man on the squad who could boot the spirals to compare with Atkins. ALEX VENNARI Vennari was running mate to Atkins as reserve end, and while he didn ' t see much service on the varsity, he must be given credit for the spirit he ex- hibited in practices throughout the entire season. Vennari was a backfield man, but was converted into an end. ARCHIE GARNER Garner, a Mannington High School product, is another man who shows lots of prospect as a coming star. The peppy little quarterback had plenty of grit in his first year at the college game, but lack of experience was evident. HAROLD MOORE Harold, as guard, has not as yet found an opponent he could not handle. He played a good, hard, clean game through and through. Harold came from Wesleyan College last season. He has two more years to play for F. C. S. and much is expected of his football ability. COACH COLEBANK To our mentor praise must be given in behalf of his untiring efforts and attention to the squad. Although it was not possible for the team to come out of the fray always victorious, and although we emerged several times with the smaller score, Colebank put into his men a spirit which knows no defeat. 126 Football ' Review C WENTY-FIVE football men under the direction of Coach Colebank opened activities for Fairmont State College 1927 football season at a training camp near Philippi. W. Va.. where they labored to construct some green mate- rial into a well coached machine. After two weeks of severe training, particu- larly stressing the fundamentals of the game, the squad returned home and resumed their efforts at South Side Park. Mere figures cannot estimate the amount of work, and the spirit, persistency, and courage put into the work of every man on the squad endeavoring to polish up an inexperienced team for their first game with Salem College. On September 30, the Maroon and White played the veteran Salem team, and everyone was eager to see what kind of a team Colebank would turn out. The game was played on a hot, sultry day, and due to the wonderful passing of the Salem team they trounced the Maroon and White 33-0. This proved to be a very disastrous beginning for the team, for they appeared to fall into a slump. The confidence and football spirit needed to win games had dis- appeared, and as a result they did not win their next eight games, although two games were played to a draw. These two encounters were against West Liberty and Glenville Normal. Other games were lost to Davis and Elkins, Marshall, Potomac State. Broaddus. St. Francis College, and Salem College. While this record is not an inspiring one. we must give each and every fellow a hearty handclasp for his faithfulness and loyalty to F. S. C. This showing was also due partially to the inexperienced material with which Coach Colebank had to work, and to many injuries which occurred during the season. In the face of these facts we must give them a world of credit. Although the Maroon and White experienced defeat six times, they were real sportsmen and good losers, a characteristic of the past elevens of Fairmont State College. ■4 127 }? -.• Basketball •HE aims of athletics in Fairmont State College has been to give every student an opportunity to take part in competitive games, to arouse in each student a keen desire to be physically perfect: to make him understand that a sound body helps to promote a sound mind; to show that success in athletics does not rest entirely upon producing victorious teams, but by winning the loyal support of all by fair play. While this year ' s team has been a disappointment so far as games won are concerned, they are not altogether to blame. In the heart of the students there must be spirit which was sadly lacking in our student body. It is school spirit that makes our athletes keep training that they may be able to give the best to their school. School spirit makes them put team work before individual playing, the real spirit makes them prefer defeat with clean playing, rather than victory with foul playing. An enthusiastic school spirit must be aroused if F. S. C. expects to have a winning quint next season. This year ' s team will see the services of Hefner, Michaels and Samples for the last time. Such men as Hamilton, Tork, Stealey, McDade, Hickman and Hall will carry the burden of work for next season. With such abundance of valuable material left there is no reason why there should not be some real spirit installed in the student bodv to help carry the boys through to a vic- torious season. -4 128 - HAMILTON The former Hundred flash went through his second year as a regular wearer of the Maroon and White, and was an important cog in the team ' s floor, work. Hamilton never was a high scorer, but his speed made him a great asset to the team ' s offensive drive. He was a mainstay of the quint from the start and was in the opening lineup for every game. MICHAEL Carroll, a four-year man, was not flashy at any time, but he was easily the most consistent player, game in and game out, of any who wore the Fairmont uniform. Mike confined his play to defense, but put everything he had into that phase of the game, and proved a tough obstacle for the opposition. SAMPLES Bill would have turned in the best season of his career as a basketball artist had it not been for a bad slump during the second half. He showed up in fine form during most of the season, and was at the top of his game against Wesleyan, when he scored 30 points, but slumped after that. Samples also was graduated this year after four seasons as a regular. HEFNER Paul (Rink) Hefner finished his basketball career at Fairmont State Col- lege in a blaze of glory, serving in the capacity of captain, and playing consist- ently good ball from the start of the season to the finish. Hefner, bv his ability to show strong offensive power along with his fine defensive work, ranks as one of the best all-round players in the State, and undoubtedly the best guard to wear a local uniform in some time. He played four years as a regular. 4 129 STEALEY A broken hand knocked Tub ' s chances right at the time he was playing his best ball, and apparently headed for a regular guard position. The big boy, who served his prep days at East Side High, turned in some good games and is practically sure of making a regular position next season. HICKMAN Clyde Hickman, ace of the Fairmont quint last year, was out of the 1928 season with a bad knee, but his brother, Bard, upheld the family ' s honor by showing up strong during the latter part of the season, and giving promise for next year. He saw quite a bit of service at a forward and center position, and is the leading candidate to take Samples ' place next season. McDADE Mickey came into the front ranks late in the season after spending most of the three seasons in a substitute role, but when he came, he came fast. He signaled his promotion to the first team by playing some bang-up ball, and was a great help to the team in the closing weeks. McDade played his best game against D. and E., and was the outstanding star of that game for Fairmont. VENNARI Alex Vennari, former Lumberport star, served as a first-string sub through- out the season, and came in handy on several occasions. Vennari played in flashes, and when going right, proved to be a very dangerous offensive man. as players on the Salem and Bethany teams will agree. Two years ago he held down a regular position with Broaddus. -«K 130 )§ - ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ .2.75 fflgSf 5 ?- 1 ?  j j j COLEBANK Jasper Colebank. better known as Coach, is the popular mentor of Fairmont State College ' s athletic activities. He is the typical West Virginian of the old type. He was a former athlete in F. S. C, and also gained quite a bit of recognition while attending West Virginia University. While the teams of the past year have not been so successful, the high quality of sportsmanship displayed by his men has been noticeable in all the contests. Future success is assured with the services of such a coach. HALL Farmer was one of Colebank ' s reliable utility men. When sent into the game, he was a man well worth watching, because of his deadly accuracy in shooting from any position on the floor. Farmer has another year with us. TORK Patsy wasn ' t listed as a contender for a regular job at the start of the season, but he proved himself a capable performer and was used both at forward and at guard. Tork is a ball hawk and is usually on top of it any time it is loose. This was noticeable any time he got into a game. It was usually the case that he had the ball most of the time. EDDY Eddy, the faithful manager of the Maroon and White, performed his duties thoroughly and efficiently. His energetic and agreeable personality was always a pleasure to the players. The team was fortunate to have such a capable manager. ■4 131 }§ - Basketball ' Review C HE 1928 season of basketball came in with much enthusiasm. Many candidates turned out for the initial practice, and Coach Colebank soon dis- covered that he had a wealth of material. All the veterans from last year ' s combination had returned with the exception of Clyde Hickman, who had to quit because of knee injury. Such men as Captain Hefner, Stealey, Samples, Hawkins, McDade. B. Hickman, and others, were there. Colebank soon developed a fast team with a wonderful system of play. No system, however, is worth anything without men. No men are worth much without spirit. Both were here in quantity this year. Captain Hefner ' s veterans abounded in skill, grit, and stamina, and the newcomers made up what they lacked in experience by eagerness and vigor. The opening game was scheduled with the Chrysler Y. M. C. A., champions of Indiana, but the highly touted quintet failed to appear and the game was forfeited. In the next game, F. S. C. met their Waterloo at the bands of the D. and E. team, champions of West Virginia. Two days later they lost a hard-fought game to West Liberty Normal, the opening game on the F. S. C. floor. The journey to West Liberty proved another fiasco, the team losing again. Victory! After three starts with failures the Maroon and White tasted of victory for the first time by trouncing Potomac State 41-31. They could not be stopped. In their game with Marshall they ran up a score of 40 to their opponent ' s 22. They let down, however, and as a result received a stinging defeat from Salem College. In their second game with Salem they were defeated again. However, they trimmed Broaddus College twice and went fifty-fifty with West Virginia Wesleyan. In their first g-«r e with Wesleyan they pulled a big surprise by defeating them by a tremendous score, 54 — 31. Glenville ran rough shod over the Maroon and White for two games. Only one game was scheduled with Shepherd ' s College, and they turned the trick by defeating F. S. C. in an extra period game. The team put up their best game of the year against D. and E. on the eve of F. S. C. Home-Coming, although they were defeated in the last minutes of the game, 34 — 29. The record for the season was 1 2 lost and 6 won. This was not so remarkable, but three out of four of the games were extra-period games and very close scores. Although not consistent winners, the team turned in several notable exhibitions, and showed flashes of real promise for next season. •4 132 - - ' Baseball ' Review , t- ASEBALL prospects were never any higher than when twenty men reported to Coach Colebank last spring. The splendid spirit displayed by the new recruits gave promise for a very aggressive team. After the season had started the backers of the team saw a snappy fielding and sure hitting team. These factors brought the team many victories. The season, as a whole, was a fairly successful one for the Maroon and White. Such veterans as Paul Hefner, first baseman; Clyde Hickman, pitcher; Herbert Henry, catcher: Carroll Michael, outfielder; Hugh Martin, infielder; Lawrence Hall, outfielder; Charles McDade, infielder, carried the burden of the work and were responsible for the success of the team. The baseball team was one that the school should feel proud of. -4 133} Calendar for 1927-28 Sept. 1 3 — First Semester opened. Sept. 1 5 — Instruction begins. Sept. 16 — Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A.

H: i i.%x : ' r[V Mm The Pedagogue I saw him sitting there, outside the stately college door, It was a dismal afternoon, the clock was striking four. I said. Kind sir, what is your name? His voice came through the fog, I ' ve forgotten it. my tad, but I ' m a pedagogue. Pray, tell me, sir, why sit you there? ' Tis cold, you surety know? You ' ll get the grippe, or die with ' flu, ' from sitting in the snow. He looked into the space beyond, appearing quite alone: A silence long . . . and then he spoke, a low, disheartened tone. I ' ve lost my hat , my wallet ' s gone, to where I live is far; I do not know the place where I have parked my motor car; I could not chance, a day like this, to walk through mist and snow; And even if I did, I do not know where I would go. ' Twas just this morn ' I found my clothes quite neatly tucked in bed, And on the hook behind the door I ' d hung myself instead; And then at the breakfast table I scratched my buckwheat -cake. And poured molasses down my back; a very bad mistake. I ' m absent-minded, lad, my mind ' s so segregated; To err I find is like mankind, and my poor thoughts belated; Now, I believe that brain and brawn have some direct relation. The coefficient I can ' t state of such a correlation. I believe man has evolved from Protoplasmic state. Translucent slime bore nuclei — but here I must relate. This fact is not according to Parliamentary law — The suggestion that ape has been man ' s great-great-grandpa. Electrons are privileged to leave their own atom ' s orbit When they may choose another place where they would like to sit; But strange an atom it would be if all electrons chose To have a common solar sphere and their old haunts foreclose. That ' Tennysonian muse ' so strange, that prompts such great contention, I wonder if it don ' t relate to Einstein ' s fourth dimension. Pray stop! friend pedagogue. I cried, no doubt your words are true, But I don ' t comprehend the things that you in vain pursue. He did not speak, but fell again to his deep meditation. And gazed into the space again in silent conjuration: I took my leave, he stayed alone, perhaps there yet you ' ll find Him struggling with the relation ' twixt cosmic and mankind.

A prominent periodical made these remarks some time ago con- cerning modern youth: These wild young people seem to have banished all noble idealism and usefulness. In this multitude there is an absence of reverence for things sacred, of ambition, and earnest moral purposes. As one of these young people, and with them, I come before you this day to challenge these statements. We of the younger generation come before you not to make apology, not to seek applause for our behavior. Neither do we ask for sympathy by the artifice of emotional appeal or the employment of flowery expressions. But with full consciousness of all that we do, we come before you and plead only for understanding. It is on the premise of understanding that we of the rising generation ex- tend to you a hand of cordiality, and an invitation into the realm of our ambi- tions and desires: a friendly call that you may apprehend the motives that lie back of our activities. For, by and in consequence of our activities, we have been criticized; perhaps not thru willful intent, but thru misunderstanding. Every hour of the day the obnoxious remarks are thrust at us. The ac- cusation has been made that we of the rising generation care not for the serious problems of life. The accusation has been made that we have forsaken the God of our fathers. We have been called a pleasure-seeking generation. We have been accused of moral degeneracy and lack of ethical standards. And, most slanderous of all, the belief has been expressed that we are incapable of adding to or perpetuating the heritage of our fathers. It is because of these accusa- tions that we ask for a listening ear. that we plead for understanding. If we of the rising generation give the appearance of being wild and reckless in our behavior, and too radical in our tbinking, let us understand that these are just the reflection of a universal movement. We live not in the slum- bering of the Eighteenth Century, nor in the haziness of the Nineteenth, but in the awakening and turmoil of the Twentieth Century — the New Renaissance! The great wheel of progress spins at a tremendous speed today. The caravan of passing events move faster today than it ever did before. The shrine of idealism has been lifted to a higher plane, and the world ascends toward it. Yes, it is the Renaissance of the Twentieth Century! Not the Renaissance of 4 138 - M learning, nor of industrial or economical or social life, but the awakening activity of them all combined. A whirl of changing events not limited to one country or locality, or one race of people: it ' s the world over, it ' s a universal Renaissance! With this marching forward of events, we of the rising generation must keep pace. The jump is as long as the effort back of it. We have wound civilization to the point where it must leap forward; to go backward is de- struction, to remain still is impossible, to go forward we must and we are com- pelled. Yes, we say we must keep pace. With our gigantic mechanical inven- tions, our monster machines whose efficiency cannot be measured, we have cre- ated a civilization without a parallel. Either we control it, or it will control us. It can become a Frankenstein monster and destroy its own creator, or it can become a perpetual source of blessing. Either means lie within our own power. We must decide for the one or for the other. We, the young men and young women of the rising generation, must make this momentous choice. We unanimously decide that our culture shall go forward and be a source of blessing for each and all, for ourselves and for posterity. We ask of you how shall we make these ambitions and aspirations come true? Would you advise us to drop back to the Eighteenth Century world of living in order that we may cope with the problems of the Twentieth. Would you urge us to adopt the Nineteenth Century customs in order that we may keep pace with the movements of today? Would you advise us to use the solutions of today for the problems of tomorrow? Or would you advise us to solve the problems of today with the solutions of today, and the questions of tomorrow with the means of tomorrow? We of the new generation again unanimously decide the latter course to be our method. The torch of culture shall glow and burst into flame and go forward with us as it did in the hands of the preceding generations. The accusation has been made that we care not for the serious problems of life. Surely this accusation is unjust. For how can we keep time with progress and yet neglect the problems of life? How can we realize our aspira- tions by forgetting our objectives. Surely there must be some misunderstand- ing! We ask you to look into our activities and see if this accusation is veri- fied. Every year thousands of us enter the educational institutions of the land; not only after education itself, but after the cultivation of better human rela- tionship. Education by itself is more disastrous than no education at all. But education seasoned with the qualities of human understanding is the goal of our ambition and the prayer of our lips. In the corridors of our universities you see the Chinese in friendship with the English, the German youth shaking the hand of good-feeling with the American. Such is the spirit of the new generation! We do not believe so much in the good- will obtained thru treaties and alliances as in the good-will that comes thru understanding and the actual cultivation of friendship itself. We realize that we after all are human beings. ■4 139 )►- ft ■ 1 and the same fears, the same hopes are in us all, Japanese, English, whatever we may be. Are these not serious problems of life; are these not worthy of our attention? We believe in the supremacy of man, and the fullest, richest enjoyment of life. These are the bases of our philosophy of life. And yet we are told we care not for the problems of life! Again we are accused of forsaking the God of our fathers. We have not forsaken the God of our fathers; we have pledged our allegiance to him in the light of greater understanding and idealism. Our God is not the God of Vindictiveness. who punishes those who sin and deprives them of any hope for each and all. We sincerely believe the time has come when application of religion is more essential than preaching itself. We would have it taken into the home, into the world of practicality. We believe in the whole world as being a church where the doctrines of our God can be practiced as well as preached. We, however, do not insinuate that this was not so in the past; we but maintain that our religion must keep pace with all other forward move- ments. We respect the God of our fathers and worship His nobility. Our God is the same God but on a grander scale and for a greater world. We have been called a pleasure-seeking generation. We have been called extravagant! We ask you to look into our pleasurable activities and see if they are not as wholesome and beneficial as they have ever been. Those who make the accusation think of pleasure as being synonymous with vice. Pleasure is not vice with us; we look upon it as an educational asset. We have more leisure time today than we have ever had before. Shall we turn into worth- while activities, or shall we turn it into bare idleness and moral dissipation? Formerly, attending church and getting married were practically the only pleas- ure considered as such. Today we have many more. We have the radio pro- gram, the automobile ride, the photoplay, organized sports, and a score of other pleasures. Would you advise all of us to abandon these wonderful joys, because a few cannot use them well? Surely not! Abolish pleasures and you abolish man, for without the incentive of pleasure, man becomes an un- controllable beast. Again we have been accused of moral degeneracy and lack of ethical standards. We are told by some individuals that both our morals and man- ners are undergoing degeneration. If you are to give us understanding, pray give it in the consideration of this problem. There is no revolution in our morals except in that we yearn for frankness and open-mindness. We are wholesome and genuine and truth is as much sacred to us as it has ever been. In an investigation conducted some time ago several thousand boys and girls were asked whom they regarded as their ideal man or woman. Whom did they select? Not Caesar, or Napoleon, or Bismark; but plain, honest Abraham Lincoln for the boys, and Florence Nightingale for the girls — both models of honesty and service. We don ' t believe in false modesty and assumed decency. We believe in freedom of the mind and soul. If we are to be decent, we want ■ •$ 140} to know the reason why: and the reason must go deeper than conformity with conventional notions. Is this moral degeneracy or lack of ethical standards? No. It ' s a calling for better morals that may harmonize with the higher ideal- ism to which the world is ascending. We repeat that we are as wholesome as youth has ever been. And perhaps, as Dr. Cadman remarked recently: Judged by their honesty, sincerity, detestation of cant and unselfishness, they stand head and shoulders above the youth of my generation. If we succeed in the mastery of these issues, we are not adding to the heritage of our fathers? Are we not adding to the world ' s culture? And by doing this are we not perpetuating the cultural wealth of the centuries? Yes, it ' s understanding that we plead for. Higher idealism, keeping pace with the world ' s forward movements, the substitution of knowledge in the place of Ignorance, a world fit for man, and a man fit for the world, these are the ambitions and aspirations that characterize the SPIRIT of the RISING GENERATION. The ' Runaway Noise did not frighten him. He loved to sit before an open window And listen to the L roar past. The shrill clatter of the push carts. The wrangling of the young old wives With the shopkeepers over the price Of fish or a cabbage head, and the rough Voices of the children in the gutters Were but fuel for the bright blue flame. But once a lost wild duck flew overhead And uttered a plaintive cry and he rushed From his post to his bed and cowered there Like a child in the dark and cried bitterly.
