Perkins, whose bright blue eyes have twinkled at College for Women Latin students for thirty-seven years, was born a teacher. Her reply to the question, “Why did you become a teacher?” was that she just always wanted to be one. Such ambition might be due to the fact that Miss Perkins’ mother studied under that famous educator, Horace Mann. She began her own schooling in Winchester, New Hamp- shire, where she was born, but her family soon moved to Cooperstown, New York, and there she continued her education under private tutors and in the high school. In 1875 she entered Vassar College, where her activity in both scholastic and extra-curricular affairs brought her the editorship of Miss EMMa M. Perkins : ‘ LORS? Latin the Vassar Miscellany in her junior year. The school- mar’m-to-be was just as successful in getting educated as she has since been in educating others, for in 1897 she received her degree of A.B. as valedictorian of her class. This honor was especially distinctive, as her sister, Florence C. Perkins, had been _ valedictorian of her class at Vassar College in 1875. It is the only case on record at Vassar where two sisters have been valedictorians. While literary work claimed a great deal of her attention during her college days, Professor Perkins still found time to engage in sports, and she attributes her good health to such activities as driving, rowing, riding and skating. These are still her favorite forms of recreation—except the skating—and she has added traveling to the list. After her graduation from Vassar, Miss Perkins came to Cleveland as teacher of the classics at Central High School, a position which she held until she came to the College for Women as Associate Professor of Latin in 1892. She has held the chair of Woods Professor of Latin since 1893. During these twelve years of service Professor Perkins has been greatly interested in girls—in those outside her cla sses as well as those within. Because of this interest, which has endeared her to the College for Women alumnae all over the world, and because she, herself, has come to be regarded almost as a tradition, it is especially fitting that she acts as hostess at the Sub-Freshman party every spring, and that every September she addresses the new girls on “Tradition”. To those who know Miss Perkins’ busy nature it is not surprising that civic and scholarship organizations have absorbed a great deal of her time and attention. ‘The fact that in 1891 she founded the Cleveland Branch of the American University Women, and that she was largely instrumental in organizing the State Federation of Branches of the American Association of University Women in 1922, illustrates her thirty-five bent for organizing groups. She is now chairman of the Fellowship Committee, and in 1925 started the raising of Ohio’s quota for the million dollar fellowship fund which is being raised by the National Association of University Women. Miss Perkins may be said to be especially interested in million dollar campaigns, for she visited several College for Women Branches this spring in the interest of our endowment fund drive. She has been particularly unselfish in giving up precious week-ends for the cause, and minds not at all the tiring business of hurrying about to keep appointments, for, as she says, “It is wonderful how comfortably one may sleep on trains nowadays.” Professor Perkins’ other activities in educational affairs include chairmanship of the Committee on Educational Matters in the Board of Education for five years, presidency of the Ohio Branch of the Association of Collegiate Alumnae, and presidency of the Cleveland Branch of the Vassar Alumnae Association in 1916-1917 and 1917-1918, Miss Perkins represents the tradition of our country as well as of our college, for she traces her ancestry back through the American Revolution to the Mayflower, and she is justly proud of her membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Society of Mayflower Descendants, and the Ohio Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of Founders and Patriots of America. Other organizations with which she is identified are the American Philological Association, the Classical Association of the Middle West and South, the Historical Association of New Hampshire, Phi Beta Kappa, the Women’s City Club, and the Cleveland College Club. She is a trustee of the Mississippi Institute, Miss Perkins lives at 1574 East 108th Street. thirty-six 5S Dr. Robert Waller Deering With his gray goatee, his soft felt hat jauntily drawn over one eye, and his little sack of books tossed over his shoulder, Professor Robert Waller Deering has been for many years one of the pic- turesque figures on the College for Women campus. Indeed, he has about him a good deal of a quaint German atmosphere, so that one is quite surprised to learn that he was born in Hoagansville, Georgia, and that he knew no German until he entered col- lege. It seems almost incredible that when he was asked on the first day in his German class ‘Wie heissen Sie?” he assured his instructor, after grave reflection, that he had not the slightest idea. So young was Professor Deering when _ his PR Denne schooling started, that his father was obliged to cut German the legs of a chair much shorter for him, and give him a box to use as a desk. In his ninth and tenth years he began the study of Latin and Greek with his father, with whom he also studied English, history, and arithmetic. From the age of twelve to fourteen he went to an academy, and at fourteen he entered Centre College in Kentucky. When he was fifteen years old, his family moved to Nashville, Tennessee, and he was urgd by his father to enter Vander- bilt University as a freshman. The young student was considerably grieved at this suggestion to become a first-year student again, and he was also vexed because he had to forego his very excellent opportunity to win the sophomore prize at Centre College. Very reluctantly he departed, leaving the one hundred-dollar watch behind for his rival to win. At Vanderbilt, however, the energetic student soon won another prize. He did such notable work in chemistry that he was awarded one hundred dollars. In 1885, before he was twenty, Professor Deering received his M.A. from Vanderbilt. Upon his graduation, he taught German as a fellow in the University. In 1886, he entered the University of Leipzig. For three years he studied German here, and associated only with the Germans in order to become master of the language. Upon receiving his Ph.D. in 1889, he returned to Vanderbilt and was acting head of the department of Germanic languages for three years. In the spring of 1892, Pro- fessor Deering was invited to teach at the College for Women. He came, and although he found only an apple orchard, the walls of Clark Hall, the beginnings of Guilford House, and a handful of students, he told Dr. Thwing that he would accept the posi- tion. Since then—for thirty-seven years—Professor Deering has been at the head of the German department in the College for Women. During his busy teaching career, he has found time to edit several books. He has edited “The Little Gypsy”, translated Cervantes’ La Juanilla; Schiller’s Wilhelm Tell; Goethe’s Egmont; and Heyse’s L’Arrabbiata. And he has also written monographs and reviews on philological subjects. Things academic did not occupy all of Professor Deering’s time. He formerly belonged to the Philosophical Club, which is composed of members of the Case and Reserve faculties, and certain prominent business men: At present he is a member of the Association of College Professors, of the Modern Language Association of America, and is a charter member of the University Club. Athletics, too, were a source of much delight to him. At college he used to spend a part of each day in the gymnasium. “Would you believe,” he often asks ruefully, “that I used to be very slight and extremely agile? Why I did fine work on the horizontal bar, and was recognized as a good sprinter.” He must have had considerable strength, for he could pick up a one hundred-pound weight with one hand. Baseball took up a good deal of his time. His specialties, however, were the one hundred yard dash and the three mile run. Some years ago Professor Deering and his wife planned eagerly the building of his charming home at 2931 Somerton Road. But the joyous anticipation was turned to grief at the death of his wife just shortly before moving into the new home, where he and his daughter, Dorothy, have lived ever since. In the warmer months, Professor Deering lovingly cultivates his tulips, peonies, roses and lilies. When winter comes, he goes indoors, builds a fire on the hearth, and finds his source of greatest enjoyment in music. thirty-eight aXeh® Go e) a ones} Le ¥ {= = Dr. Henry Eldridge Bourne It’s a far cry from captaining a sailing craft over the stormy Atlantic to rowing in the calm lakes of the East, but that is exactly what has hap- pened in the Bourne family. Once upon a time a Bourne was a sea captain. Then on April 13, 1862, there was born a grandson, Henry Eldridge Bourne, who had a two-fold destiny to fulfill—to delight in boating and to leave New England thirty years later to assume the duties of a professor of history at the College for Women. The first was taken care of when he grew up and entered Yale University, where his interest was soon divided between the classroom and the boathouse; indeed, he was so enthusiastic about the water that the sociologists there doubtless chuckled and murmured something about a law of alternate inheritance. As starboard stroke young Bourne became an oarsman on his class crew, and in his senior year was a member of the varsity crew. One of the oars which the sea captain’s grandson used, together with a photograph of his class crew hangs in the library of his home at 11480 Hessler Road. Mementos of his grandfather’s colorful career, such as a whale oil lamp, an interesting looking oak chest, and an oil painting of his ship, done by the first mate, are also in Professor Bourne’s possession. Dr. Henry E. Bourne History It may be mentioned, incidently, that Doctor Bourne’s devotion to the water did not hinder him from doing creditable work in the scholastic world—so creditable that after receiving both his A.B. (1883) and his B.D. (1887) degrees from Yale, he had the Hooker fellowship there in 1887-1888. Nor did this scholastic brilliance by any means diminish; in 1910 he was awarded an honorary degree of L.H.D. by Marietta College in Ohio. Indeed, in this rivalry between the academic and the athletic world, the academic gradually won out, for of late years Professor Bourne’s interest has been largely centered on his classes and on his books. After leaving Yale, he taught in Connecticut as prin- cipal of Thomaston High School and later as teacher of history and psychology at the Norwich Free Academy. He fulfilled the second part of his destiny by joining the faculty of the College for Women as professor of history in 1892, and his chief busi- ness ever since has been to charm College for Women students with exciting lectures on battles and secret intrigues. He has done his work so well that history has been made of vital interest to hundreds of students. The year after his coming he became registrar of the college and continued in that capacity until 1901. It is interesting to note that Doctor Bourne made the acquaintance of Doctor Fowler, who also was (yO Or er SO CH thirty-nine later to become a member of the teaching staff of the College for Women, on the return from his first trip abroad, in 1885, when they shared the same stateroom. Doctor Bourne’s teaching activity has not been confined to the College for Women. He gives courses at Adelbert College and since 1926 has been a member of the faculty of the Graduate School. Nor is it confined to Cleveland, for he has lectured at Lowell Institute in Boston and at summer sessions at the University of Chicago, Ohio State University, the University of Oregon, the University of Texas, Columbia University and Cornell University. Perhaps Professor Bourne’s chief interest outside teaching is in the collecting of rare books, particularly those which deal with the French Revolution. It is a real hobby, for he has been looking for such books during the last thirty-five years. The result is that his library, which is stacked ceiling-high with soft colored volumes, brightened here and there by patches of gayer color in the form of more. recently bound books, now includes the first edition of Montesquieu’s Esprit des Lois (1748), Rousseau’s Emile (1762), and Contrat Social (1762), and Young’s Travels in France (1792), as well as other rare books on the French Revolution, and books of travel from that period, like Doctor John Moore’s Journal During a Residence in France (London, 1793) and John Carr’s A Tour from Devonshire to Paris, illustrated from his sketches (London, 1802). [POLYCHRONICON Dr. Harold North Fowler Neither Socrates nor Cicero could have wished for a more earnest, more intelligent scholar to ex- pound their ideas and theories than could be found in Professor Harold North Fowler. Although Athens and Rome are far from Professor Fowler’s birth- place, Westfield, Massachusetts, and although these cities were in their glory many centuries before his birth on February 25, 1859, the gap both in space and time was early spanned by a bridge of books. These books, however, were concerned not only with Greek and Latin culture, but also with French and German. Before he entered college, Professor Fowler had studied French for eight years, could speak German as well as English, and had a very (eit N°: FawrEe good background in the classics. Crus In 1876, Professor Fowler entered Harvard Col- lege where he continued his classic studies. At the end of his sophomore year, he dis- covered that his sister was studying Italian. Not to be outdone in learning, the ambitious student decided to study Italian by himself and was rewarded with appreciable success. The younger student also received a notable mark of distinction when he took second year honors in the classics. Although he thought of dropping the study of the classics then, and of entering another field, he nevertheless followed his father’s ae , : : f suggestion of continuing his course and at least getting a gentleman’s education. In Professor Fowler’s college days, young men obtained a higher education in order to become ministers, doctors, or lawyers. Having a penchant neither for the ministry nor for the field of medicine, Professor Fowler decided to enter the field of law. Yet upon his graduation from Harvard in 1880, he chose to teach a while and entered Marston’s University School as classical master. He spent the year of 1881 in study at Johns Hopkins University and the following year at the American School of Classi- cal Studies in Athens. From Athens he went to the University of Berlin for a year, and from there to the University of Bonn from which he received his Ph.D. In 1885 Professor Fowler again returned to America and became instructor in Greek, Latin, and Archaeology at Harvard College. After three years, Professor Fowler left Harvard to teach at the Phillips Exeter Academy. In 1892 he was Professor of Greek in the University of Texas. And since 1893, with the exception of two years spent as Professor at the American School of Classical Studies in Athens, Professor Fowler has been at the College for Women. His intense interest in all lines relating to the field of the classics has led him to become an active participant in various classic and linguistic organizations. He forty-one is a member of the Kaiserlich Archaoligischen Institute of the American Philological Associations, and of the Classical Association of the Middle West and South; of the latter he has been vice-president since 1916. He is also a member of the National Association for Constitutional Government. Not only has Professor Fowler taught ancient art and literature, but he has been a writer on these subjects. His writings and editions form a notable monument in the field of classical literature. He has edited the Panactic et Hecatonis Librorum Frag- menta: Thucydides, Book V; Plautus, Menaechmi, Quintus Curtius, Books III and IV. He is the joint author of Tuell and Fowler’s First Book in Latin, Tuell and Fowler’s Beginner’s Book in Latin, and of Fowler and Wheeler’s Handbook of Greek Archacology. He is the author of the History of Ancient Greek Literature, History of Roman Litera- ture, and History of Sculpture. Professor Fowler has translated the first four volumes of Plato. He has also contributed articles on classical subjects to reviews and maga- zines. What with teaching, and traveling, and reading, and writing, it has been a busy life for our classical professor. Perhaps it was the agile youths of Athens who gloried in health, strength and vitality that first inspired Professor Fowler to excel not only in the scholar’s world, but also in the athlete’s field. In an interview he once confessed modestly that he had taken first prize in the hop-step and jump at college. For a moment he abandoned his usual dignity, for which he is so greatly admired and respected, and proceeded to demonstrate these athletic feats with charming vivacity. While in Baltimore he was generally recognized as an excellent amateur boxer, which should show sufficiently that the study of Greek and Latin can have a most stimulating effect. With a mischievous twinkle in his eye, he once confessed that he had enjoyed poker a great deal at college. To the enjoyment of cards, he has of late years added the pleasure of golf for recreation. Professor Fowler is a member of the University and Mayfield Clubs of Cleveland, of the Oakley Country Club of Watertown, Massachusetts, and of the Harvard Club of Boston. In March of this year, Professor Fowler left his home at 2460 Overlook Road, and once again sailed for Greece. He will be busied with important excavation work in Corinth. The College for Women misses this splendid scholar and the inspiring sug- gestion he carried with him of knowing so well ‘“ the glory that was Greece and the grandeur that was Rome”. forty-two OENIORS OLYCHRONICON) RutH Homans, President IRENE AITKENS, Treasurer Marian Bearnstey, Secretary MarcGaret THomson, Vice-president Senior History Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Know, all men, by these presents, that the sole aim and purpose of this docu- ment is to preserve for the benefit, use, and edification of future generations a record of the activity of the class of nineteen hundred and twenty-nine of the College for Women. Be it known that the aforesaid class, to be henceforth known as the party of the first part, at the very inception of its career was so efficient in the acquisition, assimilation, and application of knowledge that it succeeded in an attempt to outwit the superior and supposedly more intelligent class of nineteen hundred and twenty- eight, which class is to be herein henceforth known as the party of the second part, whereby the party of the first part did duly evade and elude that process termed initiation by custom, statute, and ordinance of this institution to be administered by the party of the second part. Be it hereby known, also, that those members of the aforesaid class, the first part, upon whom the office had not served notice, by all due c and process of law did assemble and did likewise elect to that office the party of ourse, means, known as the forty-six = 4 iam SS [POLYCHRONICON] presidency a member of the above mentioned .class, to wit, one Esther Catherine Taylor. Whereas through a similar process, one Helen Frances Doolittle was next chosen to lead the aforesaid party of the first part, the said Helen Frances Doolittle and mem- bers of the previously named class did participate in the preparation, production, and presentation of a pageant, to wit, the Tree Day Play, under the direction of one Eleanor Cowdry Iler and did also most solemnly dedicate a ttee and plant it upon that plot of ground known to all good students as the campus. Furthermore, whereas and in so much as the party of the first part did proceed to appoint Miss Eleanor Cowdry Iler as the chief and head of activities during and through- out that period known as and called the junior year, the members of the said party took part and engaged in many frequent and numerous festivities, consisting in the demonstration of that ancient, honorable, and esteemed dance, to wit, the minuet, at the Martha Washington Ball; and likewise, in the performance of other more modern, esteemed and honorable dances at the Junior Promenade; also in banqueting and feast- ing with their sister class, to wit, the freshman group, and with the class of nineteen hundred and twenty-eight, the above mentioned party of the second part to whom they sang a farewell song in the ceremony of Step Night. Be it known, moreover, that all the while, certain members of the class—the party of the first part—to wit, athletes, in definite groups known as teams, did prove their prowess and ability in contests which certain other units likewise known as teams, consisting of members of the class of nineteen hundred and twenty-eight, the party of the second part, as well as numerous other parties. Thereby, in testimony and acknowledgement, these same athletes did duly receive gifts and prizes, to wit, cups. Whereupon, having reached that envied and admired status of seniorhood, the members of the party of the first part, under the guidance of one Ruth Alberta Homans, proceeded to bear, carry, and conduct themselves in a manner suiting and becoming their elevated position, and did dine, breakfast, and dance, but most espe- cially, did wear long, black robes and head dress, to wit, caps and gowns, and did sing sweet melodies of farewell. Thereupon, judging that they had acquired in due measure that which they were seeking, to wit, an education, and having received, in truth, long documents known as and called diplomas, in token thereof, they departed hence. forty-seven 3� [POLYCHRONICON EsTHER MaE ABRAHAMSEN Cleveland Kindergarten Primary ‘Training School (I, II).

They marshalled their forces together as freshmen under the leadership of Mercedes Waterman, who was succeeded in turn by Elizabeth MacNamara, and Frances Browning. Then when all were assured permission to continue on this grand adventure of learning, this freshman class chose Elizabeth MacNamara as president, Elizabeth Clark as vice-president, Eliza- beth Keyser as secretary, and Alice Wheatcraft as treasurer. As freshmen this worthy class endured the usual initiation at the hands of the tyrannical sophomores, when they failed to discover the artful and evasive hiding place of the red and white flag. So, swallowing their pride, they manfully accepted their punishment and emerged from the ordeal a little subdued, but ready, now, to face the school as full-fledged freshmen. At Stunt Night they did their best, but their inexperience that first year made them incapable of coping with the superior merits of their fellow-school mates. Dances, banquets, and pursuit of the academic engrossed the remainder of the year. Com- eighty-six mencement properly impressed them with the dignity of that auspicious occasion and they left school that spring with their hearts filled with fond memories of this their first and introductory year to the annals and traditions of their Alma Mater. In the fall of nineteen hundred and twenty-seven, they returned, their ranks somewhat diminished in numbers, but their enthusiasm to get started again none the less dampened. They assembled this year under the able guidance of Maxine Williams, with Helen Brown, vice-president, Eleanor Selby, secretary, and Elizabeth Bird, treas- urer. This fall, the tables turned, they assumed the role of sophisticated sophomores to the utmost extremity and severely cowed the oncoming neophytes when they, too, failed to find the concealed flag, hidden by the wily class. At Stunt Night these sophomores came through with flying colors, for’ even though the Stunt Cup went to the freshmen, their.song, written by Mildred Maul, was judged the most tuneful and melodious. In February the sophomores were hostesses to their school mates at the annual Martha Washington Party, where Annetta Gross and Miriam Detwiler led the grand march of their gaily bedecked and frivolous guests, In the spring the sophomores came truly to their own, for according to tradition they were permitted to plant a tree upon the campus to be an ever present memorial of the class of °30. Tree Day was presented under the capable management of Elizabeth Keyser, literary chairman, and Mercedes Waterman, business manager. And thus ended their second year in the college of which, now, they truly felt they were a part. Another fall rolled around, bringing to this class new visions and new fields of conquest and adventure. Former interests assumed the order of trivialities. They entrusted themselves to the leadership of Elizabeth Clark, assisted by Elizabeth Bird, vice-president, Dorothy Cox, secretary, and Eleanor Selby, treasurer. For a third time Stunt Night came again and for a second time the class of ’30 won the Song Cup, due credit going to Mildred Maul. The weighty task of editing the pages of the Polychronicon became the duty of this class, and was assigned to Alberta Higley and Helen Coe, and their worthy assistants. At the Martha Washington Party the Juniors danced the minuet, dressed in the voluminous skirts and satin trousers of variegated colors, with silver buckles and powd ered wigs. In the spring the crowning event of their college years so far came when, for the first time, they danced with the seniors at the Junior Prom, with Mildred Maul as chairman. Long will the memory of that spring night live in their hearts. And thus the year sped itself away on rapid feet, fast bringing to a close this, their third and most festive year of college life. eighty-seven HELEN BAKER “Virtue in itself commands happiness.” ELBERTA BALDWIN ‘An able athlete, a friend true, An excellent student, too.” LILLIAN BECKERMAN “She hath a natural wisdom, simple truth- fulness.” Marion BENNET “Do thine own work and know thyself.” LouisE ALBURN “She has an eye that could speak, though her tongue were silent.” RuTH ALLERTON “She pleased while distant, but when near she charmed.” FRANCES ANDERSON “Beauty, like supreme dominion, Is best supported by opinion.” VIRGINIA BaBKA “Wisdom speaks little, but that well.” ELIZABETH BENNINGTON “She hath a natural wise sincerity,” genuine truthfulness, and these have lent her a dignity moveless as the center.” Joyce BipuLPH “Grace is to the body what good sense is to the mind.” ELIZABETH Birp “The world agrees that he writes well who writes with ease.” Dorotuy BLANK “Good sense and good nature are never sepa- rated.” Eva BowMAaNn “Studies serve for delight, for ornament, for ability.” CLaupiA Brown “The force of her own merit makes her way.” FLORENCE BROWN “With countenance demure, and modest grace.” HELEN Brown “There is no wisdom like frankness.” eighty-nine POLYCHRONICON] ELIZABETH CLARK “Not to know me argues yourself unknown.” HELEN COE “The inborn geniality of some people amounts to genius.” ELEANOR CONN “The very pink of perfection.” BEsstE Corso “Games lubricate the body and the mind.” FRANCES BROWNING “They who have light in themselves will not revolve as satellites.” Mary MarGaret BuLEY “A lovely countenance is the fairest of sights.” Louise BurGEss “Mistress of herself though China fall.” LucILLE CANFIELD ‘Slim, but she wears the rose Of youth upon her.’ DorotTHy Cox “Celerity wins the race.” GERTRUDE CRAINE “She was as good as she was fair.” Marian CRNKOVIC “For sure, no minutes bring us more content Than those in useful studies spent.” JUSTINE CROSSER “True, straight, open—she had nothing about er of dissimulation or pretense.” JEAN CROWELL “Among all the accomplishments of life, none are so important as refinement.” CATHERINE CULLITAN “The sincere alone can recognize sincerity.” Giapys Damon A stunning, up-to-date miss is she.” ,’ DorotHy DoNNER “A mind content, both crown and kingdom ninety-one POLYCHRONICON] DorotHy GAVLAK “Above the vulgar flight of common souls.” LEAH GESCHWIND “Such sweet compulsion doth in music lie.” RosaLIND GOLDHAMER “Il am tipsy with laughing.” KATHRYN GREENLUND “T find earth not gray but rosy, Heaven not grim, but fair of hue? 5) GERTRUDE DORFMAN ‘For they can conquer who believe they can.” MiLpRED EISENBERG ‘I laugh, for hope hath happy place with me, _ If my bark sinks ’tis to another sea.” RutH Fiscus ‘Set all things in their particular place, And know that order is the greatest grace.” Mary FLAaJOLEe “Her modest eyes abashed to hear her praises sung so loud, So far from being proud.” ninety-two DorotHy Hain “She contains all bliss, And makes the world her periphrasis.” MInNiE HaMILTOoN “Write me as one who loves his fellow men.” Naomi HaMmMMaNn “The whole of virtue consists in its practise.

Procedure: Into a Reserve jar pour 220 c.c. of 1932 freshman solution. This is a very thick, green fluid which, solid-like, contracts or expands when in or out of the presence of sophomore sulphate. Place the jar over a sophomore flame and roast for one year. At first there is detected an odor of burning wood, which, as the experiment proceeds, is moderated to one of fragrant, smoldering rubber. Add one drop of house party oxide—and run for shelter, as an explosion may result. Next add one lump of flag hunt phosphate. If the F. H. P. O. fails to be dissolved, follow by one litter of concentrated initiation acid. At this point the green fluid boils violently and takes on a rather reddish color, similar to that of the blush of a rose. The mixture soon resumes its former greenish hue, though not to quite so intense a degree as formerly. Stunt night carbonate (lc.c.) furthers this fading of the green. After having passed through a Martha Washington Party filter, the mixture is noticeably a sky- blue-pink green. On the sophomore flame i t gently boils for the remainder of the year, under the pressure of 10 exams until finally, in June, there is formed a fluffy, white substance, known as sophomore precipitate. The catalytic agents, Cleo Morse, Lillian Aitken and Margaret Hillibish assisted throughout the experiment. Conclusion: Where there’s life there’s hope. one hundred fifteen POLYCHRONICON] Freshman Class Marian Mae Adam Lillian LaVerne Aitken Jasmine Jean Albl Marie Janette Allen Anne Marie Andree Ethel Carolyn Arnold Mary Elizabeth Bailey Ellen Manning Beck Margaret Beckenbach Josephine Bernot Marie Dulhanty Bison Eloise Sinks Blake Linda Leontin Bodenlos Mathilde Doloris Boisen Elizabeth Boksenbom Joyce Rosalind Bookatz Mildred Mary Bookerman Beatrice Ann Boose Helen Marie Boylan Elsa Louise Brody Tola Marie Broggini Delia Anne Broglio Jean Lyons Brown Mena Jane Brown Helen Louise Buchman Mary Jane Bukownik Mary Helen Bunker Edith Louise Buyer Dorothy Camp Caldwell Frances Louise Campanaro Lotta Margaret Carson Cecil Pear!

The custom of Sub-Freshman Day is one of our oldest traditions, for in 1892 at the suggestion of President Thwing, it was decided to invite high school seniors from Cleveland and neighboring towns to visit our college, tour the campus, and meet professors and students. One of the main ideas behind the plan was to include among the guests many girls who did not plan to attend college so that they, too, might appreciate the meaning of a college campus and the value of a college to a community. Miss Emma Perkins, Professor of Latin, was given full charge of the arrangements for the first Sub-Freshman Day and she has remained director of this activity up to the present day. Invitations this year were extended to more than 1500 high school seniors of greater Cleveland and northern Ohio. There were also a number of invitations sent to high schools in Pennsylvania. Freshman hostesses conducted their guests on tours of the College for Women and Adelbert campuses. After the tours the sub-freshmen assembled in the Florence Harkness Chapel to hear several addresses. Miss Morrison, Dean of Freshmen, presided. Miss Cleo Morse, president of the class of ’32, welcomed the guests. Dr. Robert E. Vinson spoke on Education as Giving Freedom and Dean Helen M. Smith spoke on The College for Women. The speeches were followed by an organ recital by Dr. Clemens. At the conclusion of the program in the chapel the guests and hostesses went to Haydn Hall for an informal gathering and dancing. Refreshments were served by members of the committees. Dr. Vinson, Dean Smith, Miss Perkins, Miss Thomas, Miss Morrison were in the receiving line together with the officers of the class of 1932. Miss Perkins acted as advisor to the freshman class. The freshmen who were in charge of the arrangements were Cleo Morse, general chairman, Genevra Williams, invitation chairman, Mary Heken Bunker, entertainment chairman, Juanita Snider, refreshment chairman, and Mary Bailey, hostess chairman. one hundred seventeen Life Life is too much,—I can not hold it all, To full of thousands of intriguing things; And so as they go flying swiftly past, I try to catch the ones with scarlet wings; And then I hold them to me breathlessly, Such shining things hold me in ecstasy. Sometimes it is a trembling chord of notes, Perchance a star that’s caught upon a tree; Again—a rose cloud hanging in the sky— A bit of foam upon a turquoise sea; And hosts of others—still I am too small, Life is too much, I can not hold it all.

The officers of the Student Council are: Eleanor Hackenburg, president; Alice Sorensen, vice- president; Mercedes Waterman, secretary; Maxine Williams, treasurer; the other members are: Kathryn Balliett, Ruth Homans, Esther Taylor, Elizabeth Clark, Maurine Rosch, Cordelia Rupp, Elizabeth Lynch, and Cleo Morse. The members of the Honor Board are: Eleanor Hackenburg, Helen Doolittle, and Ruth Homans. The outstanding work of the Association this year was the Conference of the Women’s Intercol- legiate Association for Student Government held on our campus, November 15, 16, 17, 1928, at which our president presided. An active Conference committee composed of representative student alumnae and faculty have sug- gested new regulations for Stunt Night and Tree Day. The Council has revised the constitution and has made a more efficient file system for all campus activities which come under its supervision and which are for the use of all students. A new system of chapel has been organized in the form of College Assemblies held four days a week, to promote a close feeling of college fellowship, under the supervision of the Student Council and faculty executive and chapel committees. Perhaps the biggest work of the Association was coOperating with the Alumnae Association in the Million Dollar Endowment Drive by raising $35,000. one hundred twenty-three POLYCHRONICON] Y. W. CA. The Y. W. C. A. starts its activities in the fall with ‘Hello Day”, when the girls wear tags during the day and gather in Haydn after classes for a “Get Acquainted Party”. Then, later, comes the Candlelight Service, the beautiful and impressive initiation ceremony. The House Party in October promises a good time to all who go. In the spring, Campus Night furnishes an even- ing of surprises and amusements. But one must not get the impression that there is only a social aspect of the Y.W.C.A. It is very active in the field of social service work. Each year a Christmas party is given for the orphans, and baskets are filled for the poor. Cabinet members: H. Doolittle, pres.; M.

HELEN DOOLITTLE President one hundred twenty-four Inter-dormitory Association KaTHRYN BALLiETT President The officers of the Inter-dormitory Associa- tion are chosen in the spring by the three dormi- tories—Guilford, Haydn and Flora Mather. Each house also elects its own officers, and the presi- dent of each house serves on the Inter-dormitory Board. The dormitories have student government, and the Inter-dormitory Board, governing on the basis of the Honor Code, acts as the council. It tries all honor cases and enforces all the rules. Dean Smith and the house-mothers, Mrs. Brew- ster, Mrs. Rooklidge, and Miss Phelps act as an advisory committee. In November the girls of Guilford and Mather were guests of Haydn at a formal dinner. Later, Mather had open house and served tea to the other dorms. Both Guilford and Mather have informal dances in the fall, and in the spring, all three dorms unite to have their spring formal. When Guilford gave its informal dance last fall, Mary Nelson served as chairman; Peg Persons planned Mather’s informal fall dance. The Inter-dorm Board consists of Kathryn Balliett, president; Mary Wolfe, vice- president; Katherine Lucas, secretary; Emma Bobby, president of Guilford House; Syl- via MacCalla, president of Flora Mather House. one hundred twenty-five POLYCHRONICON| Present Day Club The Present Day Club is practically our oldest club, having been founded in 1894 by the History 15 class at the suggestion of Dr. Henry Bourne. The purpose, as then stated, was “‘to create a greater interest in present day problems connected with the study of modern history and social sciences, and to give members opportunities for open discussion of these problems.” Since the formation of the club much has been added to history by the World War, so the club has a vast field of interesting material to deal with. Be- sides the interest in historical matters and discussions, trips are made to places of civic interest, teas are held at which speakers address the girls, and even annual banquets take place. This year the organ- ization took up the study of China—its growth and development, its open-door policy, and its customs. Meetings are held every other week and member- IRENE AITKEN nil yek : : Pecchiins ship in the club is restricted to upperclassmen who have completed at least one year of history.

Originally Les Francophiles was in- terested mainly in the French language. Drama was studied, and plays were presented in French. In recent years conversational French has been emphasized in the schools, so the club has become more interested in French as it is spoken. Les Francophiles meets every two weeks, and the meetings are conducted entirely in French. Members of the faculty and members of the club address the group on subjects connected with France; tea is served, and bridge is played. Only those who are making French their major or minor are eligible for membership. During the course of the year, however, open Cees eg Can meetings are held to which all students are in- President vited. On these occasions, some noted French speaker addresses the club. The members are: L. Watson, president; L. McGannon, vice president; M. Meyers, secretary; S. McCalla, treasurer; T. Baffa, A. Barry, G. Baldwin, M. Beardsley, D. Bill- man, H. Burgess, F. Corey, G.

It was organ- ized primarily for bringing into close contact those students interested in the German language, litera- ture, music, and the social life of the German people. Much of the credit for its success is due to Dr. Deering and Dr. Schradieck, the faculty advisors. From such a modest beginning Deeringskinder has now become one of the most important clubs on campus. Early in the fall a banquet was given to celebrate its third anniversary and to initiate its new members. One of the projects undertaken by the club this year was a benefit bridge, the proceeds of which were used to send Irene Witske to Toronto, Canada, as a delegate to the conference of the Inter- scholastic Federation of German Clubs of which the Deeringskinder is a member. Among other features IRENE WITZKE, of the program were the parties to the Schubert President Festival and to the German Opera. There was also a puppet show and addresses by such men as Dr. Brenne, editor of the Wachter und Anzeiger, by Dean Trautman of Adelbert, and the German Counsel of Cleveland. The officers are: Irene Witske, president, Dorothy Schnack, vice-president, Kath- arine Biehl, secretary; Christiana Weber, treasurer. The members are: Joy Klein, Lucille Thomas, Bertha Schneider, Ethel Weed, Gertrude Dorfman, Bertha Loske, Mildred Bushman, Molly Davis, Minnie Demblowitz, Evelyn Sharff, Helen Helms, Elsa Brody. one hundred twenty-eight H.

Its programs are well adapted to carry out its purpose. La Tertulia has speakers who tell of the Spanish customs, traditions and literature which they observed in their travels through Spain. Frequently meetings are devoted to discussions of Spanish authors, Span- ish songs are sung and dances interpreted, and con- versation is carried on in the Spanish tongue only. One of the most keenly anticipated events of the year is the annual banquet in celebration of the ‘‘Fiesta de la Roza,” held in the early fall. At this time the members meet, attired in Spanish dress, in a cleverly improvised Spanish cafe. After the banquet this year the new members presented a play by Lope de Vega, entitled “Paso Septimo.” Following this Miss Ethel Williams, faculty ad- visor, addressed the club on the significance of “La Fiesta de la Roza.” At the Christmas season there is always a party at which there is an exchange of gifts, which are given out by the Three Wise Men in accordance with an ancient Spanish custom. ute, a Spanish card game, is popular with the Tertulians and several meetings of the year are given over to Tute parties. The members are: Dorothy Schnack, president; Adeline Barry, vice president; Helen Cawrse, recording secretary; Elizabeth Keays, corresponding secretary; Ruth Iden, treasurer; Edna Class, Ruth Davis, Ruth Gram, Alice Farinacci, Joy Klein, Lillian McGannon, Virginia Moore, Virginia Smith, Lucile Thomas. DorotTHY SCHNACK President one hundred thirty POLYCHRONICON | Parnassus Club This year under the leadership of Melba Wil- liams, Parnassus Club has changed its policy of activity and has become a truly interesting liter- ary club. Instead of a single organization, the club is now composed of a poetry group and a prose group, each of which carries on its work independent of the other. The prose group has shifted. its interest from writing to studying. Instead of devoting the meetings entirely to discussing original manu- scripts, they are spent in considering plays that are of interest to the girls and that are to be presented at the local theaters during season. The lives of people connected with the literature are also discussed. The two groups meet on alternate Wednes- days so as not to interfere with each other’s Re ere vaniis activities. Tea is served at each meeting, and Petlend occasionally the two groups combine to give larger teas to which a speaker is invited. The members of the prose group are: Sar a Pildner, Mildred Thorp, Catherine Schoen, Irene Aitken, Lillian Kessler, Mrs. Senior, Alberta Higley, Reba Ross, Eliza- beth Tabor, Dorothy Sinks, Elsie Recht, secretary-treasurer; Melba Williams, presi- dent; Sarah Field Barrow, faculty advisor. The members of the poetry group are: Henrietta Giessen, Jane Weiler, Margaret Graf, Dorothy Wolf, Betty Bachrach, Bernice Cook, Olive Johns, Charlotte Lowery, Helen Buchman, Edith Buyer, Betty Lou Wright, Martha Whitworth, Alice Hackett, Ruth Eismann, Margaret Hillibish, Helen Wendt, Genevieve Mahan, secretary-treas- urer; Melba Williams, president, Katherine Porter and Eleanor Thomas, faculty advisors. one hundred thirty-one Debate Club The Debate Club has been in existence on the College for Women campus for six years. Under the supervision of Miss Mildred Throne, dramatic in- structor, the organization has been sponsoring debat- ing and public speaking among the girls in the college. _Membership is open to any student who has ability in this field of activity. This year a plan, the purpose of which was to create a greater interest in debating on the campus, was introduced in the club’s policy. The plan is that of interclass debating and has been the chief basis for the Debate Club’s work this year. Under this plan the four classes are represented by certain of their members in the Debate Club and a cycle of debates is held on a particular subject. The topic for discussion this year was: ‘‘Resolved, that no discrimination be made against Asiatic people in the United States’ immigration laws.” This has been MARY SHEPHARDSON an interesting policy and it is to be hoped that it will Pree continue with even greater success. The members are: M. Shepardson, president; G. Altshuld, vice-president; R. Gram, secretary-treasurer; M. Davis; L. Gottfried; C. Hardon; S. Laibman; E. Klinger; R. Mirsky; R. Newmark; R. Fried; P. Simon. Alumnae Association “A Vision Caught and Held.” In the Fall of 1928 rumors were spreading to the effect that plans were under way for a million-dollar endowment drive. Most people considered it merely a rumor; who could ever get a million dollars from a group of college women and alumnae? It seemed but a dream. Yet, in February, under the leadership of Mrs. R. T. Cragin, the dream became a reality; alumnae, students, faculty, all were caught in the spirit of the movement. Mr. Mather donated a hundred thousand dollars with the promise of another hundred thousand if we should attain our million. Alumnae were solicited for $200.00 pledges, seniors for $100.00, juniors for $80.00, sophomores for $60.00 and freshmen for $40.00. By April, the amount pledged stood at $762,694.50, of which sum $227,750 were alumnae pledges, $30,606 were students’ pledges, and $504,388.50 came from other sources. This was a record-breaking percentage; no other school has ever obtained pledges equal to this number in so short a time. They came in with surprising rapidity. Ingenious methods of raising money were devised. Proceeds from rummage sales, teas, and bridge parties were turned over to the fund. The money brought in by this drive will be used for many purposes; to cover deficits in the budget, raise the salaries of professors, and enable the College for Women to add new members to the faculty. Besides this, we need a better equipped library and expansion in the departments of Art, Household Administration, Music, Philosophy, Romance Languages, and Physical Education. Of course, the million dollars would have to become ten million in order to cover all our needs, but it will be an enormous “drop in the bucket” toward placing the Col- lege for Women in the front rank of women’s colleges in America. one hundred thirty two JPOLYCHRONICON| League of Women Voters LucILLE ELLiottT President The League of Women Voters is a non- partisan political organization in cooperation with the Cleveland League. It was organized at the College for Women four years ago for the pur- pose of developing new voters into a force for good government, to promote the responsible participation of college women in government, and to stimulate a continuing interest in govern- ment after students leave college. The League enables women to become informed about poli- tical questions, principles and policies of politi- cal parties, and the qualifications of candidates for public offices. The club holds its meetings once a month, devoting the time to a discussion of these topics. L. Elliott, president; J. Crosser, vice presi- dent; K. Fulghum, secretary; K. Hook, treasurer; M.

Rs “Action is eloquence, and the eyes of the ignorant more learned than the ears.” SHAKESPEARE— “Coriolanus” one hundred thirty-four Music POLYCHRONICON| Glee Club About twenty-nine years ago, our Glee Club was only a chapel choir with a few members which had no other activity than that of providing music for the chapel services. However, the organization grew and became more and more popular so that other features were undertaken; one of these was the annual concert. Of course this was nice, but operettas were then so popular that the annual con- cert was replaced by the yearly presentation of an operetta. This custom was soon abandoned and the annual formal concert and dance was again a part of the program. From then until now, this concert is the most popular of the Glee Club activities. Another feature of the club is the lovely service given at Thanksgiving time and the Christmas Carol service both of which leave a lasting impression in the minds of those who hear them. In the spring the club is rewarded for its faithful work by a EsTHER TAYLOR formal dinner which only the members may attend. é President The members are: Esther Taylor, president; Lucille Elliott, business manager; Alice George, librarian; Alice Metcalf, librarian, Marguerite Maerlander, secretary, Ruth Avery, Katharine Biehl, Ruth Goddard, Helen Hampton, Mary Hinds, Ruth Hobart, Katheryn Hook, Annabel Jackson, Margery Kloss, Mavis Marvin, Mildred Maul, Martha Morris, Esther Rasmussen, Dorothy Smith, Ruth Sambrook, Esther Sauerwein, Elizabeth Turner, Jeannette Vixseboxse, Mercedes Water- man, Alice Wheatcraft, Genevra Williams. one hundred thirty-six Musical Arts Club Do you sing, or play anything besides games and second fiddle? If so, you may be an active member of the Musical Arts Club. On the other hand, if you are not sufficiently confident of your own talent you may become an inactive member and attend meetings to enjoy hearing others exhibit their talent. About four years ago, the College for Women girls who were interested in music, whether or not they, themselves, played, organized a group with the purpose of furthering the enjoyment and apprecia- tion of good music. The club has continued under this policy as to its membership and the girls meet twice a month. Professional musicians as well as the active members participate in the programs. Throughout the year open meetings are held which everyone may attend. One of the meetings is turned into a festive occasion, the Spring Concert, held in Miriam Nacusky Bs wide! Florence Harkness Chapel, to which all students are invited. The present members of the Musical Arts Club are: Miriam Nagusky, president; Florence Tyler, vice-president; Beatrice Harris, secretary; Minnie Hamilton, treasurer; Betty Bachrach; Theresa Baffa; Ruth Bryar; Nada Checie; Gertrude Cohn; Ruth Fiscus; Marian Fishel; Ruth Gram; Eliza- beth Hannah; Harriet Henrichs; Grace Kiels; Evelyn Katz; Sylvia Kopperman; Florence Lyon; Helen Messing; Anne Murphy; Elizabeth Ord; Geraldine Spink; Angela Tran- nett; Myrtle Warner; Ruth Wasby; Helen Baker. one hundred thirty-seven Fra £O DR. CHARLES EDWIN CLEMENS For many years, “untwisting all the chains that tie the hidden soul of har- mony,” Dr. Clements has endeared him- self and his music to us all. It is with sincere regret that we see this, his last year on our campus, drawing to a close, and we wish to express our deep grati- tude for the beauty he has brought us through his music. one hundred thirty-eight PUBLICATIONS HELEN COE Business Manager ALBERTA HIGLEY Editor EvELYN HorGer Associate Editor TheePelychronicon State ALBERTA HIGLEY EvELYN HorGErR Eleanor Manahan, Editor Elizabeth Clark Features Margery Kloss, Editor Martha S lusser Frances Stewart Helen Schwartz Biographies Sara Pildner, Editor Dorothy Cox Dramatics Bernice Keller, Editor Editorial Katherine Fulghum Isobel Smith Laura Bultman Elizabeth Bird Helen Brown Justine Crosser Gertrude Dorfman Editor Associate Editor Ruth Fiscus Elizabeth Keyser Senior Activities Virginia Wells, Editor Junior Writeups Elizabeth Turner, Editor Mildred Thorp Campus Life Elizabeth MacArthur, Ed.

The staff is chosen by the editor and business man- ager from a list of juniors approved by the faculty. Each year, six sophomores are elected, three of whom are trained on the editorial staff, and three on the business. One of each group is chosen to be the editor and business manager, respectively, for the coming year. It has been the aim of the faculty and the student body to make the Polychronicon as conservative and dignified as possible, to be in keeping with the atmosphere of the college, itself. It is partially self-supporting, receiving most of its income from the sale of subscriptions, advertising space, club and sorority pages, and from the picture refunds; it also receives an allowance from the student budget. This year marks the publication of the second College for Women Annual. Hitherto, the College for Women had been limited to a small portion of the University Annual. Feeling this to be insufficient, the girls started to publish an Annual of their own. Last year, the first attempt proved most satisfying and successful. Miss Sarah Field Barrow is the faculty literary advisor, and Dr. Henry Bourne is the business advisor. 3 one hundred forty-one FRANCES STEWART RayMona HULL LuciILLE WALLAU Assistant Editor “ Editor Business Manager The Sun Dial Staff RAYMON «Se EUD 2922 iets eee ee Editor EBusig RCH 6 29 25 oe. os tl ee Literary Editor ithe 28 ae a a Oe Se ae Assistant Editor See tteaige een ols oe Op tes ee is Department Editor EDITORIAL BOARD Contributing Editors Beyond the Tombs Alice Hackett ‘29 Dorothy Cox 30 Ruth Sambrook ’29 Sara Pildner 30 Book Corner Elizabeth Keyser ’30 Gladys Bush ae Margaret Gregg °31 Melba Williams ’29 Winifred Shaw 731 Alumnae News Helen Wendt 732 Irene Aitken °29 MANAGERIAL BOARD Business Manager Advertising Manager Lucille Wallau ’29 Sylvia MacCalla ’29 ASSISTANTS Marion Beardsley ’29 Catherine Schoen 730 Dorothy Hain 730 Hazel Hendershot ’31 Louise Saywell 731 one hundred forty-two [POLYCHRONICON] The Sun Dial Many of the campus organizations have been undergoing a change of program and policy this year. The Sun Dial, too, has been experimenting with a new plan of management, the purpose of which has been to make the publication better known on campus. Instead of depending on subscriptions for financial backing, the magazine is run by money from ads and from the student budget. Any deficit remaining is supplied by the “‘sinking” fund of the college. In this way the circulation of the Sun Dial has been extended to everyone in the school in an attempt to arouse enough interest in it so that next year the board may continue the same plan independently, without financial aid. It has been successful in bringing to the attention of all the girls the talent that lies not so hidden about our campus. Among some of the noteworthy contributions of this year are an essay by Jessie Shanks on “Christina Rossetti and Emily Dickinson”, which won the Holden prize; the prize poems of the Rupert Hughes contest at Adelbert; the Emily M. Hill prize poems, the first prize being won by Miriam Cramer, and the second by Melba Williams. Parnassus Club also contributed en masse to one of the editions. The Sun Dial is truly a worth while magazine and it is up to the student body to keep it so. All manuscripts are welcome, whether they be in the form of essays, short stories, or poems. The purpose of the publication being to show the literary talent and taste of the North Campus, it is the duty of the girls to support it by providing material for it. one hundre d forty-three POLYCHRONICON) The Reserve Weekly Last year, the College for Women staff of the Reserve Weekly was organized as a separate depart- ment of the campus newspaper; and the arrange- ment was so successful that it has been carried on this year, too. The Fem Sem staff has increased in size and our news now fills as important a place in the make-up of the Weekly as do the articles con- cerning the South Campus. Proof? Our Prom was just as important a front page headline as the Adelbert Prom. Our athletic events, and club and sorority news are all recognized as deserving promi- nent mention. The College for Women staff is chosen in the fall “and thosei who avush to try out are asked to write up news articles for a six weeks’ period. At a the end of this time the editor and a faculty advisor ee ObmRee choose the girls who are best adapted to newspaper C.F.W. Editor writing, judging by the work they have handed in.

Two groups of girls were initiated during the year and the mem- bership is one of the largest the club has ever known. Under Miss Throne’s direction they presented The Lilies of the Field, in Beckwith Hall of the Church of the Covenant, on November nineteenth and twentieth. They also assisted the Sock and Buskin club of Adelbert in the presentation of three plays during the year. These were It Pays to Advertise, The Wisdom Tooth, and He Who Gets Slapped. The officers of the club are: Irene Wallau, president; Kathryn Goodwin, vice-president; Bernice Keller, secretary; Elizabeth Lynch, business manager. The members are: Marie Corso, Lucille Elliot, Ruth Goodfriend, Kathryn Greenlund, Marian Hen- derson, Mary Herald, Elizabeth Hitchings, Laura Howarth, Annabel Jackson, Lois Kendig, Bess Keyser, Elizabeth Lynch, Eleanor Manahan, Mildred Maul, Anabel Miller, Marguerite Mueller, Laura Quayle, Elsie Recht, Dorothy Sinks, Isobel Smith, Alice Sorensen, Mary Vogelsburg, Lucille Wallau, Mercedes Waterman, Winifred Winter- bottom. IRENE WALLAU President one hundred forty-six National Collegiate Players National Collegiate Players, or Pi Epsilon Delta, national honorary fraternity, is the youngest organ- ization on campus, just recently celebrating the first anniversary of its founding at the College for Women. It was the twenty-third chapter to be established of a chapter roll now numbering twenty- four colleges all over the United States, and is unique in being the only chapter made up exclu- sively of women. In one year the local organization has grown to twenty-seven members, seven of whom are active, and twenty alumnae. In order to establish closer contact between the group on campus, and the larger alumnae group, an advisory committee of three, made up of two alumnae and one active, was appointed to meet and plan a series of joint meetings, which ‘tei fey aim to stimulate the interest of the members, not President only in their own fraternity, but in all things dra- matic. These meetings, held bi-monthly, are helping to carry out the principle of the fraternity, which is to raise dramatic standards and achievement through encouraging the best individual and group efforts in playwriting, acting, directing, stage designing, and research in dramatic technique and literature. The members are: Laura Quayle, retired president; Mildred Maul, active president; Anabel Miller, vice-president; Elsie Recht, secretary; Marie Corso, Lois Kendig, Kathryn Goodwin, Alice Sorensen, Elizabeth Hitchings. one hundred forty-seven one hundred forty-eight Trojan Women The age old tale of the fall of Troy, the culmination of the most romantic of wars, is the underlying theme of Euripedes’ Trojan Women. The Cleveland Museum of Art, a perfect example of Greek architecture, afforded an unusual background for the great tragedy. A glowing sacrificial altar occupied the center of the stage, and from this a column of wreathing smoke rose throughout the performance. The chorus of wailing women was effectively and artistically grouped on the low, broad steps. The wonderful effect of the colossal white marble structure outlined against the evening sky, the soft glow of the lights, the rhythmic and graceful movements of the chorus, together with their low, wailing chant created an atmosphere of pathos and tragedy which increased steadily until the climax of the play, when the great, red flare of Troy burning in the background lights up the figures of the desolate women moving off to the Greek ships and bidding a last farewell to all their former glory and happiness. The details of the play were carefully worked out with regard to their artistic merits and their authenticity by Miss Mildred Throne, after she had spent hours delving into the methods of staging employed by the Greeks. Her final decision was not to duplicate the ancient presentations, but rather, to give to the present day audience some- thing of the feeling that the ancients experienced under different circumstances and in a different environment. The costumes were carefully copied from those in the famous King collection, considered the best collection of Greek costumes in the country, now housed in the Western Reserve Historical Museum. The costuming was efficiently managed by Lois Kendig and her committee of Elizabeth Tabor, Laura Howarth, Doro- thy Sinks, and Ruth Goodbread. The music was written especially for the College for Women production according to the Doric scale by Mr. Robert Brewer of the Hawkins School for Boys, and was played on the harp, flute, trumpet and drum. The harpist, Nell Steck, is a member of the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra, and Florence McGibeny Brewer, who played the trumpet, was formerly with the same group. Especially effective were the lighting effects which afforded an unusually striking spectacle during the burning of Troy. This was done under the direction of the National Lamp Works of the General Electric Company, with lighting equipment from the Lawrence Studio. The commendation which it received from students and faculty alike was most gratifying. Dr. Hulme called the play ‘‘one of the most impressively beautiful theatrical productions” he had ever seen, saying that “everything, including music, setting, lighting and acting gave evidence that the director and her assistants had familiarized them- selves with every detail of a successful modern performance of an early Greek drama.” One of the early fall number of the Theatre Magazine produced a full page of photo- graphs from the production. The most important roles were played by Tom Haviland as the God Poseidon, Lucille Elliott as the Goddess Pallas Athena, Eleanor Landon as Hecuba, Roland Mul- hauser as Talthibus, Mildred Saunderson as Cassandra, Katherine Goodwin as Andro- mache, Volta Hall as Menalaeus, and Ruth Flarida as Helen of Troy. More than thirty other characters took part in the great drama. This beautiful spectacle may be regarded as an indication of the fine things which we are doing and hope to do with dramatics on our campus. one hundred forty-nine POLYCHRONICON) Dramatic Club Plays Last fall the Curtain Players presented the Lilies of the Field, a story of the twin daughters of an English vicar and their amusing adventures in the field of love and London society life. One twin reverts to the dress of 1860 in order to win the man she loves and many complications result. Ruth Goodfriend and Mary Vogelberg were the twins; Hubert McNeill and Elizabeth Keyser, their parents; Mary Herald, their grandmother, while Milford Lewis and Volta Hall were suitors of the twins. The part of the servants was taken by Winifred Winterbottom and Wilber Darr. Three one-act plays, written, staged and directed by students were presented this spring. The Complex, written by Elizabeth Keyser and Melba Williams, is the story of a girl who, secretly engaged to a psychology professor, was prevented by a college rule from announcing it, and was, therefore, accused of having a complex. The second play, medieval in nature, was an adaptation of Chaucer’s Troilus and Criseyda, written by Elsie Recht and Melba Williams. The Laurel Wreath, a farce by Melba Williams and Elsie Recht, took the first prize offered by the American Association of University Women for the best play written by a college student. The School of Princesses, a translation of the Spanish tragedy by Jacinto Benavente, was this year’s selection from the more serious drama. The modernistic stage settings were exceptionally effective. This play was given late in April by the Curtain Players, under the direction of Miss Alpha Roth. one hundred fifty POLYCHRONICON) Mildred I. Throne Miss Mildred Throne has been at the College for Women for the past four years. She is a grad- uate of the University of Wisconsin and came to us from Iowa State College, where she had been assistant to the director of dramatics and an instruc- tor in the department of speech. On our campus she bears the title of instructor in the department of English and director of dramatics and debate. But we all know Miss Throne much better in her less official attitudes. For the past four years she has been the sophomores’ willing assistant in plan- ning and producing Tree Night; she has borne with us during play rehearsals, worked with costume com- mittees, stag committees and student directors. In Re acs ceones addition to all this, she has been offering courses in English, Dramatics oral English, acting, and play production. Until the year 1925, this college had no dramatic director. The fact that a dra- matic club had been organized since the 1890’s and had been giving one play a year, usually with the assistance of some director from outside the college, provides a chance for development in this field of activity. There were other handicaps in addition to the lack of a director; there were almost no facilities for giving plays. At first, they were presented in the attic of Guilford House; then, later, in the gymnasium on a portable stage, which had a most annoying mannerism of parting company at crucial moments. Miss Throne’s first semester on this campus was mainly one of re-organization. Curtain Players became a club to which participation in enough plays to give a required number of points became a pre-requisite. Dramatic activities, formerly restricted to Curtain Players, became a campus activity; tryouts were open to any sophomore, junior or senior. Since last year, freshmen have also been permitted to take part in plays. Plainly, it is an advantage to have a director on campus who takes a definite interest in the school and the students, and who has the opportunity of becoming acquainted with the girls, their needs and their abilities. Miss Throne may be very proud that, even in the short time she has been with us, two girls who worked and studied under her have extended their interest to professional participation; one is Nadine Miles, now with the Theatre Guild; the other is Eleanor Landon, who is playing the second lead in The Trial of Mary Dugan. By persistent efforts Miss Throne has been able to increase our facilities for pro- duction unbelievably. Two years ago, the Church of the Covenant remodeled and equipped the stage in Beckwith Hall for our use. The first presentations there, were the three one-act plays in the spring of 1927. During the whole time we have been acquiring a large and well equipped work room in the basement of Mather Hall. We have a chest of about six hundred costumes, also in Mather basement. Nela Park has aided and coOperated with us several times in our stage lighting. Student activity is no longer confined to the field of acting, but has been extended to costuming, staging, and directing. This enlarging and broadening of the field of dramatic activity was rewarded last year when the only chapter of National Col- legiate Players ever granted exclusively to women was installed at the College for Women, again very largely through the efforts of our dramatic director. Perhaps the climax of achievements was the presentation of Euripides’ Trojan Women last spring. Few of those wko enjoyed this artistic and spectacular production would have guessed what a remarkable change in the dramatic field had taken placed since Miss Throne has been here, which made such an accomplishment possible. Under her guidance and with her codperation, dramatics have progressed in four years, from a casual, extra-curricular activity to one of the main centers of interest of the campus. At the present time, Miss Throne is at the University of Wisco nsin, where she is extending her studies in the department of speech. one hundred fifty-two ATHLETICS POLYCHRONICON] Athletic Association The purpose of the Athletic Association is to create a spirit of friendliness, coOperation and good sportsmanship among the girls in the athletic activi- ties of the campus. Membership is open to all girls who have won one hundred points in any activity. This year one of the chief duties of the Associa- tion has been the maintenance of a bulletin board in the gym, which keeps the students well informed of all inter-class games, in hylo, hockey, basket-ball and base-ball. It sponsors a track-meet in the spring. Asa part of this function, the organization instituted a health code and pledge, which every one participating in athletics signs. Other functions of the Association are the Harvest Party in the fall, sleigh rides and hikes. Under the point system adopted by the Associa- tion’ every girl who wins two thousand points in five different sports is given a white sweater with a red “R” on it, which is awarded after the Yale-Harvard game in March or at the Spring Banquet in June. LuciLtLE MILLER, President The officers are: Lucille Miller, president; Katherine Balliett, vice-president; Marian Hamlin, secretary; Helen Brown, treasurer. one hundred fifty-four Sy 9 | POLYCHRONICON The “R” Club KATHERINE HANGEN President The purpose of the ‘““R” Club, which was organ- ized in 1925, is to develop more fully the aim and idea of the Athletic Association. The club is for those more active and athletic members of the Athletic Association who have won at least one thousand points in two or more sports. Because the membership is smaller than that of the Athletic Association, the ““R’’ Club seeks a higher degree of coOperation between its members, the faculty and alumnae. Regular meetings are held. These may be dances, bridges, hikes, games or “work” meetings, as the girls decide. At the Yale-Harvard all-star basket-ball game, the “R” Club girls make and sell souvenirs. Last year they sponsored a house-party in April for their own members. This year the house- party was open to all College for Women girls and was most successful. The “R” Club, each spring, supervises hikes which the girls desiring to win points may attend. The officers are: Katherine Hangen, president; Eleanor Prashek, vice-president; Amanda Hunt, secretary-treasurer. one hundred fifty-five Miss Johnson and Miss Snell Two new instructors came to the College for Women to fill the vacancies left by the resignations of Miss Hutchins and Mrs. Adams. Miss Garland Johnson is a gradu- ate of South Dakota College, from which she received her B.S. degree in 1923. After that, she attended the Boston School of Education until 1926, when she accepted a position as instructor in physical education on the staff of Sweetbriar College in Virginia. Last September she became a member of the faculty of the College for Women. Miss Catherine C. Snell received her B.S. degree from Rockford College, Illinois, in 1921. Four years later, in 1925, she was given her Certificate by the Department of Hygiene and Physical Education at Wellesley College. Then she became an instructor of physical education at Converse College in South Carolina, where she remained until, in 1928, she accepted a similar position at the College for Women. “R°’ Club House Party The “R” Club chose the last week-end in April for its house party. Although the weather proved slightly chilly and rainy, many girls turned out for the affair. It was held at the Euclid Beach Park Hotel, which had been rented for the affair. Early Saturday afternoon the girls began to arrive. After a most delicious dinner, they went to Euclid Beach Park, where they spent the evening dancing and roller skating. Then they returned to the Hotel and had a midnight feed. Of course, they did not retire immediately; one never does on such occasions. Consequently, there were few early risers the next morning. A ten-mile hike had been planned for the next morning, but was called off on account of the rain. Instead, the girls lounged around and read news- papers. However, a few ambitious girls braved the rain and went walking. Four girls even went in swimming, although the water was extremely cold. Another appe- tizing dinner put the finishing touches on this most enjoyable week-end. After this the girls packed up and went home. This is the second time the “R” Club has sponsored a house party, the first time having been a year ago. Katherine Hangen, the president of the “R” Club, was chair- man of the committee which made the arrangements. The meals were planned and cooked by the H. A. girls. Miss Snell was chaperon for the occasion. one hundred fifty-six Again the seniors win a cup—but this time by a much smaller margin than usual, At the last game of the season (juniors vs. sophomores) , the juniors found them- selves confronted by a dilemma: if they lost, the sophomores would tie the seniors for the championship; if they won, the seniors would get the cup. But they played hard, nevertheless, and, aided by the ardent senior cheering on the side-lines, (the first time this has happened in the history of the school), they managed to give the cup to the seniors by a 1-0 score.

Williams 730 one hundred fifty-seven Hylo Again the class of 29 carried away the hylo championship. This time the cup remains in their possession. The seniors played a stellar offensive game throughout the year—so good, in fact, that no opponent was able to cross their goal line. This class has set a record which will probably remain for many years, as they have been unscored for two seasons. Long runs by the senior backfield and a lightning passing attack featured their play. The sophomores and freshmen showed good form and added excitement to the race. The only blot on the sophomore record was the 49-0 defeat suffered at the hands of the seniors early in the season. The offensive play of “Vi? Hausrath and Eloise Nus- baum stood out for the sophomores. For the freshmen, Bailey and Willower stood in the line fight. The juniors began the season poorly, but came to life at the end to hold the sophomores to a last minute 12-7 victory. Those receiving numerals were: Seniors ’29—Witzke, Coan, Hangen, Taylor, Miller, Prashek, R. Brown, O’Beirne, (Capt.), Henderson, Schauer, J. Klein, Edwards.

The sophomore and freshman teams were tied until the last game. In that game the sophomores, by splendid team work, were able to defeat their rivals by a one-point margin—21-20. The freshmen seemed to have the game until the last minute, when the sophomores came to life and snatched the game out of their rivals’ hands and with it the championship cup. The seniors, last year’s champions, got off to a poor start. After winning their first game they dropped four in a row. They came back to win the last four games and come into second place just behind the sophomores. The juniors played off-and-on ball, winning when they were expected to lose, and losing their easiest games. They held last position. Those receiving class numerals were: SENIORS—1929—L. Miller, (Capt.) ; M. Persons, K. Hangen, M. Corso, K. Balliett, H. O’Bierne, E. Taylor, V. Coan. JuNtiors—1930—A. Hunt, (Capt.); R. Allerton, A. Ridinger, B. Corso, V. Babka, E. Baldwin, H. Brown.

Newmark. TEAM STANDINGS: Lost Sophomore 3 Senior 4 4 6 Hiking has been one of the most popular ways of earning points with the College for Women athletes. Those much needed extra points can be gotten by packing up on a Saturday afternoon and walking fifteen miles. That is, the more ambitious get their twenty-five points by hiking fifteen miles in one afternoon, but the rest get their points by taking three five-mile jaunts. However, not all the girls hike merely for points, for on each hike can be found many who anticipate a good time. Walking is by no means all of the program; steaks, weiners, candy, and other forms of refreshments usually accompany the energetic hikers, for they all have good appetites. All official hikes must be taken with the hiking captain, who is Virginia Coan this year. The hiking captain must schedule hikes, and she must see that they are all recorded. All hikes must be measured with a pedometer. one hundred fifty-nine Yale-Harvard This year’s game was Harvard’s, al! Harvard’s. The red team ran over the blue, trimming it to the score of 32-18. Harvard’s offensive could not be stopped, with “Kay” Balliett acting as pivot man, and “Sis” Howe shooting from all angles. Yale could not get started until the last two minutes. They pushed in five points while holding Harvard scoreless, but it was too late. THE TEAMS: YALE Forwards HarvarRD Margaret Persons, ’29, (Capt.) Kathryn Balliett, ’29, (Capt.)

To earn a sweater it is necessary to make 2000 points. This is no easy matter when only 100 points are given for being a regular on a class team. Points must be earned at least at the major sports. Only a few have reached this goal. Lucille Miller, Esther Taylor and Elizabeth Hutchison received their awards at last year’s Yale- Harvard game. Kathryn Hangen was honored at the Athletic Association banquet. Helen O’Bierne succeeded in getting her sweater this fall. At this year’s Yale-Harvard game sweaters were given to Eleanor Prashek, Irene Witzke, Virginia Coan and Amanda Hunt. one hundred sixty Baseball Indoor baseball in 1928 was really indoor baseball. It was played in the gym. Here the sluggers were at a disadvantage for if they hit what would have been a home run outdoors, the ball would bound off the wall into a waiting fielder’s hands. The low scores in the games cannot be attributed to the limited space entirely, for the quality of pitching was much improved over that of the previous years. “Lu” Miller ‘29 and “Vi” Hausrath 31 pitched excellent ball, and strikeouts were not infrequent when they were on the rubber. In spite of the handicap such sluggers as ‘‘Ginger” Newton and “Ted” Taylor stood out. All the teams were in the race for the cup until the last, when the class of ’29 pulled ahead to win the race. There were no undefeated teams, and the result at every game was in doubt. Ethel Cass captained the champion team; Margaret Grey led the seniors, and Virginia Newton the sophomores, while Mildred Jones piloted the freshmen. RED-WHITE The all-star teams, picked from the class teams, played the final game. The game was well played and thrilling. The Red team pulled away to an early lead. The slugging of “Ginger” Newton and the air-tight pitching of “Lu” Miller were responsible for the early advantage. The eighth inning still found them far ahead. But the game was not over, for the Whites still had fight left in them. In the ninth inning, they held the Reds scoreless and batted in almost enough runs to tie the count. But the rally fell short by two runs and the Reds were victors by a 15-13 score. The teams: Red White Miller ’29 Pitchers ety bes. oe eee V. Hausrath 731 Catcher stra: Sth Seance E;.

CALENDAR Campus Calendar FALL FRESHMAN WEEK Freshman Week is a rather new custom, having been SEPTEMBER 13-18 started on the College for Women campus several years ago. It serves the two-fold purpose of instructing the new students and freshmen as to our rules and the plan of the campus, and of giving them the opportunity to get acquainted among themselves before the upperclassmen arrive. This year they came to school on September 13, five days before classes began. They were welcomed by President Vinson and addressed by Dean Smith, Professor Porter and Professor Perkins. From these addresses they learned what was expected of them as College for Women students. They also received suggestions as to methods of studying. Not the least important event of this week was the devotion of a hot afternoon to the taking of psychology tests. However, by the time the regular routine of school life commenced, the new arrivals felt very much at ease. Miss Eleanor Wells, registrar, presided and acted as hostess. ““GET-ACQUAINTED” ParTy As a climax to “Hello Day”, tradition has it that there SEPTEMBER 21 shall be held in Haydn a “‘Get-Acquainted” party. To the green young freshmen it is an opportunity to be- come acquainted with their schoolmates in general. To the aspiring young sophomores it is a chance to make the acquaintance of particularly interesting upperclassmen. And to the juniors and seniors—well, you can draw your own conclusions. To the synco- pating strains of “Back in Your Own Back Yard”, which brought tears to the eyes of the dorm freshmen, and “I Can’t Give You Anything But Love, Baby”, the frolicsome freshmen, sporting sophomores, judging juniors, and surveying seniors danced until the call came for refreshments. This important ceremony completed, they danced again, until the strains of “Home Sweet Home” told them all that they were now “acquainted”, and the festivities of the day ended. one hundred sixty-four Y.W.C.A. House Party The Y.W. House Party is always anticipated with the SEPTEMBER 29-30 greatest pleasure. This fall its reputation was sustained and. no one was in any way disappointed. Euclid Beach Park Hotel was rented for the week-end and knickered girls began to arrive early Saturday afternoon. The beautiful fall weather was most conducive to a good time, and hikes along the lake were taken to produce an appetite worthy of the delicious food promised by the committee consisting of Elizabeth Lynch, Maurine Rosch, and some of the H.A. girls. In the evening there was a general migration to Euclid Beach Park, where the girls kept the “amusements” in constant activity. “Katy” Fulghum and “Ted” Taylor won the “Thriller” race, with thirty-four rides to their credit, But alas, the girls were deprived of that source of entertainment when the Park closed. Still in the mood for amusement, they at last bethought themselves of the freshmen, who were by this time safely tucked in bed, having been sent home from the Park early in the evening. They were immediately untucked and told to “amuse”. They did, until the wee, small hours of the morning. Breakfast on Sunday morning proved to be fruit and rolls. It has been rumored that the rolls were of the pecan variety before Ruth Koll and Marian Hamlin served them. After breakfast several daring damsels braved the cold Lake Erie waters and chatteringly claimed that the water was fi ne. Later, the girls gathered on the porch, where they listened to an interesting speaker. Then came dinner, which was as good and welcome as those preceding meals. After that, the girls reluctantly packed up and went home, wishing the year would roll around quickly to another house party. Bic SisTER-LITTLE SisTER Party On this day the Big Sister-Little Sister Party was in OcTOBER 14 full swing. Every upperclassman who had been assign- ed a freshman or new student by the vice-president of the Students’ Association had this “‘little sister” in tow, and was piloting her about the gayly draped Haydn Hall. Here might be heard the rollicking strains of the Reserve Red Cats, near rivals of Paul Whiteman’s orchestra. To add to the hilarious-: ness of the evening, fantastic, ludicrous, and picturesque costumes were worn by every- one, reminiscent of childhood days. In other words, it was a “kid party”. Ice cream cones and animal crackers quieted the breathless, excited crowd for a few moments only. Then, too, too soon, it seemed, the dancing ended. Cries of ‘““Wasn’t that the best ever?” resounded from one end of the campus to the other, and another party had become just a memory. Frac HuNT The bright October sun tried in vain to help the fresh- OcTOBER 18 man class of ’32 find the flag, but the sophomores were just a few degrees brighter. Little squads with their leaders were seen about the campus all that day from six A.M. to six P.M., system- atically searching in all the buildings. They look in almost every possible place—behind pictures, under rugs, inside furnaces, but all in vain. The bold, bad sophomores were a one hundred sixty-five trifle more egotistical when, at six P.M., the committee, consisting of Isabel Smith, Eloise Thompson and Ann Lederman, led the down-cast freshmen to the chapel base- ment—the scene, alas, of their most concentrated scrutiny—and proudly pulled the red flag out of a garden hose. The sophomores were glad; so were the freshmen—glad that the suspense was over. As a close to that most eventful day the members of both classes partook of a supper in Haydn Cafeteria. FRESHMAN INITIATION As a result of their failure to find the flag, the fresh- NovEMBER 8 men had to suffer initiation at the hands of the sopho- mores. And initiated they were. Three weeks later, after the sophomore committee of Betty Carpenter, Ruth Wobolt and Catherine Fulghum had thought up all the agreeable surprises they could, the “trial” of 732 took place in Haydn drawing room at 4:30 on Friday. All day Thursday and Friday the little freshmen had paraded about the. campus meekly, in coy aprons on which were written in green, “At your service, ’32”, and with smart looking gym shoes on their feet. A touching sight, indeed, were they, when they came in a body to Haydn Hall. First the freshmen tortured the sophomores with a little skit. Then the sopho- mores retaliated by meting out just punishment in the form of a “physiology test”. Blindfolded, the infants were made to identify certain well known mammalian parts by feeling them, such as “lungs” and “eyes”. After they had sipped “formaldehyde”, the jury saved the trembling freshmen from hysteria by proceeding with the trial. Several members of the class of ’32 were accuse d, by their elders, of things ranging from “sitting on sophomores and scratching them” to “standing when reciting in classes”. Prosecutor Mueller struck terror into their hearts, and the sentences handed out by Judge Carpenter were just too bad. Alice George executed hers well by singing “Mississippi Mud”, and Rachel Larimore defended herself bravely. After the court became tired of persecuting the offenders, they took them down into the cafeteria where prodigious quantities of spaghetti Italienne, pickles, rolls, cookies” and chocolate were consumed. What an initiation it was! Harvest Party Crisp corn stalks and fragrant autumn leaves! These NOVEMBER 14 were only part of the things that contributed to the rollicking, carefree atmosphere of the Athletic Asso- ciation Harvest Party in October. Autumn was in the very air as hundreds of happy girls gathered to participate in all the festivities which go to make a real Harvest Party. The gym was gayly festooned with bright crepe paper, corn stalks and leaves. Before the dancing began, everybody joined in a guessing contest and the winner received a box of candy. Much enthusiasm was aroused when the attempt was made to discover “who had had a birthday yesterday”. Later in the evening, a pleasant interruption occurred in the form of “Corn Stalks”, a dance by Margaret Thomson. Mildred Maul and Anabel Jackson contributed “Ha’miny”, a delightful piano fantasy. The dancing was topped off by typical autumn fare—cider, doughnuts and luscious popcorn balls. After refreshments, everybody lingered to declare it was the best Harvest Party on record. Y.W. Por Luck SuPPER The first Pot Luck Supper sponsored by the Y.W. this NOVEMBER 21 year was held in the Church of the Covenant. There was, as usual, the characteristic array of food—sand- wiches, weiners, baked beans, spaghetti, potato chips, pickles and olives, cup cakes, cocoa and coffee, served up in grand style by the Freshman Commission. But before the donors were permitted participation in this most variated repast, discussion groups were held under the direction of those girls whose privilege it had been to attend the Conference at Geneva this summer. Lucille Wallau led a discussion on “Prayer”; Irene Wallau, one on “Personality”; and Margaret Thomson and Cordelia Rupp gave their group a dissertation on “Men”. This new addition to the program plus the food and a little dancing, all combined to make this Pot Luck Supper very successful. Wie GLUE PARTY Something new! A party given by the “R” Club with NoOvEMBER 23 Eleanor Prashek and “Kay” Hangen in charge. The ultimate purpose of the party was to stimulate interest on the campus in girls’ athletics. Red tags were sold for publicity. More rooters were needed for the inter-class games, and this party was given more or less as a reward to those who had come out to watch or play in the game. The “R” Club also became better known on the campus through this party. And why not? Was there not a gay, hilarious, young crowd, and dancing in the gym, and, of course, refreshments? It certainly was some party. Pray Day Play Day was a new experiment on the campus this year, sponsored by the Athletic Association. It is the hope of this organization that Play Day will eventually became traditional, and plans are being made for a more elaborate Play Day in the Spring to which high school seniors will be invited. The purpose of Play Day is to get girls interested in play for play’s sake. It supplements class rivalry by offering opportuni- ties for game participation to the girls who can’t take part in class competition. Play Day this fall was in charge of Lucille Miller. The gitls were divided into teams, and after a demonstration ‘of hockey and hylo given for the benefit of the new girls, games and contests were staged. Norma Nighman won ‘the distinction of possessing the best posture of those present. Later food was served and a welcome was given, after which Play Day officially closed, with due credit going to Miss May and the Athletic Association for its success, one hundred sixty-seven Campus Calendar ’ WINTER CHRISTMAS TEA Traditions—old, enjoyable customs—what would we do DECEMBER 16 without them! There are ever so many centered about Christmas, but perhaps the one that leaves the sweetest memory of all is our Christmas Tea. Every year, on a Sunday afternoon in late December, before the girls go home for the holidays, they gather in the large, cheery drawing-room of old Guilford House. Here, amid the Christmas atmosphere produced by the gala decorations, they hear the ever thrilling recital of Christmas stories and poems. This year, Miss Mildred Throne held the girls entranced by her reading of one of Henry Van Dyke’s Christmas stories. ‘Then the Glee Club intensified the spell by singing some of the traditional Christmas carols, such as one associates with Christmas time. The spirit of congeniality was encouraged by the serving of tea, delectable cookies, nuts and candy, all of which quickly disappeared. Thus imbibed with the feeling of ‘peace and good will,” the girls went their way, wishing they could attend such Christmas teas oftener than just once a year. THE CaRroL SERVICE The lights of the Chapel were turned low; only the DECEMBER 20 flickering light of the candles displayed the festive deco- rations of pine and holly. The crowd became hushed and an air of expectancy hung over all. Then the soft, liquid notes of the organ were heard, and the clear sweet voices of the choir could be heard in the distance. Gradually they drew nearer, singing “O Come All Ye Faithful.” From the rear of the Chapel, they filed slowly down the aisle, each girl carrying a candle which shed a ruddy glow on her face. Then they sang Christmas carols, both old and new, even rendering “Silent Night” in German. Mary Hinds and Mildred Maul were the soloists. The program ended all too soon, and the singers again walked down the aisle, while the organ continued to play. The bright lights flashed on again, bringing the dreamy audience back from the world of music to the world of reality. Stunt NIGHT Before Thanksgiving vacation, signs announcing ‘“‘very DECEMBER 21 important” class meetings could be seen on the College for Women bulletin boards. Of course, every patriotic girl responded, because she knew the Stunt Night chairmen and committees were to be elected. The chosen few spent their Thanksgiving vacation racking their brains and burning midnight oil, trying to think of something “different and clever”. But after vacation, all was in readiness for action. Then began the hours of patient practicing. Haydn Hall, the gym, Mather, and.even the Church of the Covenant were filled from morning to night with busy choruses. And the costume room in Mather basement looked like a dress-making establish ment. Excitement grew and was running high on dress rehearsal night, two days before “the day”. At this time, despite an unfinished costume here and there, the participants might see each other in action, and the faculty committee had the opportunity to make its suggestions for the betterment of the stunts. The anticipated night finally came and the aspiring actresses made their way to the Masonic auditorium, with their ranks slightly diminished by the “flu” epidemic. The faculty sat in grand array, occupying the front seats so that they might more easily recognize their performing pupils. Fond parents beamed from the furthermost corner of the hall and helped swell the applause at the appearance of their dancing daughters. First, the seniors, in their caps and gowns, sang their original song to a deeply appreciative audience. It was composed by Annabelle Jackson and her com- mittee, Margaret Quarrie, and Melba Williams. Then came the junior song. The crowd was expectant, because this class had won the song cup last year. Would it get it again? Much applause greeted the song, written by Mildred Maul and her committee, Elizabeth Bird and Mary Hinds. Next, as though a wizard had waved a magic wand, the curtains drew back and disclosed hoary Saint Peter, himself (Betty Lou Wright), seated in meditation. This was the opening scene of the freshman stunt, “Before the Gates of Heaven”, and was greeted with great approval. The plot of this stunt was built around the fact that Saint Peter was rather hesitant about admitting Reserve girls into the Kingdom of Heaven. Therefore, they took it upon themselves to prove to him why they were eligible for admission. This they did by means of choruses which represented their outstanding qualities. They finally convinced Saint Peter that he had the wrong impression and he very graciously admitted his error. As a climax, the Gates of Heaven opened and angelic Reservites, in white robes with red wings, entered. Ann Andree, with her committee of Ethel Arnold, Mavis Marvin, and Jane Willower wrote this stunt. The curtain rose next on the sophomore stunt, which was anticipated with great interest because of its title, “Municipal Monkeyshines”. What could it be all about? The curious audience soon discovered that it described a period of time during which the College for Women girls took over the management of Cleveland. They did it very well, if one might judge from the complaints made by choruses of street cleaners and ash-cans, that they had no leisure time under the new system. However, the girls eventually became disgusted when they found that the street cleaners were sweeping the dirt into corners and the flowers were being killed by the ash-cans. People were com- mitting crimes to get into jail, because the girls had made it such a pleasant place. And complaints were made because they had acquitted a man on trial for stealing an automobile because he was from Case. And when they began to lose their boy-friends they decided it was time for the government to go back to its proper hands. Margaret Mueller, with her committee of Isobel Smith, Ruth Goodfriend, and Ruth Koll, wrote this clever stunt. “Red Rhapsody”, the junior stunt, was symbolic, fantastic and picturesque. The audience was rather overwhelmed by the simple, yet unique stage-setting. This stunt was given with a most patriotic purpose in view-—to convince Cleveland that Western one hundred sixty-nine Reserve is an asset to the city and deserves its support. The grotesque little Conscience Qualms tried to shame the authorities (seated on high stools at the side of the stage) for their neglect. The rest of the choruses represented outstanding features of the college, for which it was notable. The Builders’ chorus represented the expansion of the university, the Mathematics and Geology choruses, with the help of the glittering Diamond chorus, emphasized its academic importance. Nor was the athletic side neg- lected for the stunt ended with a rousing football game between the Reserve Red Cats and the Yale Bulldogs, with the rest of the choruses cheering in the side-lines. It was written by Marion McGeorge, Louise Harper, Betty Turner and Bess Keyser. The senior stunt was likewise patriotic in that it was called ‘‘The Million Dollar Drive” and was closely related to the Alumnae Endowment Fund Drive. Its choruses showed different ways of raising money for the fund, such as selling balloons at dances. Margaret Thomson and Margaret Quarrie led a most appetizing Candy-stick chorus, while the Christmas carolers held the audience quite spell-bound with their singing. Irene Witzke, in a red costume, received the contributions and went into ecstacies at each new addition. Finally the goal was reached and old Santa, himself, (Elsie Recht), presented one million dollars to the“alumnae. Katherine Goodwin (chairman), Ruth Peterson, Margaret Thompson, and Esther Taylor made up the literary committee. After this came the sophomore song, written by Ruth Fryer, and the freshman song, written by Alice George. Then came what seemed like years of waiting while the judges—Miss Throne, Miss Porter, Dr. Bourne, Helen Hamilton, Helen Alburn, Ottilie May, and Ona Kraft, were deciding the momentous question as to who would win the cups. The performers hurriedly changed from their custumes and removed their make-up, leaving now and then an extra eye-brow or a misplaced lip. Excite- ment ran high. Would the sophomores get the stunt cup again? Would the juniors win the song cup again? More agonizing moments while they waited for Eleanor Hackenburg, Student Government President, to present the corsages to the worthy chairman! Finally, after due delay, she presented the stunt cup to the sophomores and the song cup to the juniors. The Masonic Hall was much too small to hold the excited winners, so everyone went home, rejoicing with them and commending the losers. The business connected with Stunt Night was efficiently managed by Ruth Hobart, Mercedes Waterman and Hazel Hendershot. THE ORPHANS’ Party Dozens of shining faces and big round eyes! Such a DECEMBER 22 clamor of drums and whistles, mingled with the cries of “Mamma” from treasured dolls! What could all this mean, except that the annual Orphans’ Party was in full swing in Haydn Hall. The Y. W. girls surely did their best to make it a great success. They gathered up orphans from the vicinity of the college and brought them to this festive affair. It was the only Christmas most of them would have. A tall Christmas tree sparkled in the corner; under it could be seen mounds of mysterious white packages. ‘These pack- ages were given by the College for Women girls and each contained a toy fit to delight the heart of any child. Flora Mather House and Guilford House had had a party the previous night at which childish gifts were exchanged. ‘These in turn were given to the orphans, who no doubt enjoyed them much more than the college girls. Santa Claus (really ‘““Arbie” in disguise) came in full array, adding the necessary touch to the party and causing many a smile to appear on childish faces. And such quantities of candy as those children consumed! It would have made the most confirmed grouch smile to see them. But this wasn’t all that happened. When the novelty began to wear off the new toys, games were played in which the girls joined and enjoyed as one hundred seventy- 5S much as the children. But at last the early winter twilight came and the party had to break up. The tired but happy little children rel uctantly put on their coats and hats and were taken home, carefully guarding their newly acquired gifts. The Y.W. girls marvelled at the number of children which could be crowded into one car. They all agreed that the party had been most successful. THE MartHa WasHINGTON Artist and models, hicks and tomboys, a mysterious ParTY—FEBRUARY 21 black cat, Spanish pirates, and what have you? Such a panorama of fantastic costumes could only be seen on the College for Women campus at the Martha Washington Party. This is the culmina- tion of all the festivities and fun of the winter season, when the seniors drop their dignity and play with the freshmen, and the juniors and sophomores join them. The variety of brilliant hues, flounces, swirls, exaggerated neck-lines and peculiar headgear which the dancers had donned was enough to dazzle the most jaded eye. The strains of syncopating music produced by ‘‘Vixse’s Clevelanders” were interrupted by the soft, sweet tones of an old, old melodian, played by Alice Wheatcraft. As the hilarious crowd quieted down, a pompous butler announced the President’s Inaugural Ball. Then twenty-four dainty ladies and gallant gentlemen gracefully stepped forth. They were led by Mr. and Mrs. George Washington, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Jefferson, Mr. and Mrs. John Adams. The new president made a short speech welcoming his guests and they, in turn, sang a song. Then, they all danced the minuet most gracefully, while the disciples of modern jazz looked on with silent admiration. After that, there was more dancing until the next interruption, which came in the form of the announcement of the serving of food. One might think the merry-makers had been fasting all day by the rate at which they consumed cookies and ice-cream. At twelve o’clock the orchestra packed up its fiddles and saxophones and went home. The masqueraders buttoned up their coats and faced the wintry blasts of one of February’s coldest nights, remarking that they were glad they hadn’t allowed the cold weather to keep them home by the fireside. A novel feature of the evening was a beauty contest. Since all the beauties of the colleges were present, though hidden by disguise in some cases, it was a splendid opportunity for such an event. The judges, seated in dignified fashion on the grand piano, surveyed the contestants as they filed by. It was a most crushing disappointment to us when the prize of one million dollars was awarded to Miss Lulu Bell, fresh from Chicago. It might be of interest to all that on this campus Miss Belle is known as Ruth Koll. The party was most ably planned and managed by Isobel Smith and her committee, while credit for the success of the minuet goes to Betty Turner. one hundred seventy-one 59 9 |POLYCHRONICON Campus Calendar SPRING THE JUNIOR Prom Tentative plans made for months beforehand, lengthy MarcH 22 discussion as to a capable chairman, elections, the pro’s and con’s of possible dates, conjectures as to whom to bring—with reasons specified—talk of clothes, anxious hours of shopping, plans for breakfasts, all preface the dawn of the most important day in the year—at least, for all juniors and seniors of the College for Women. Prom days are, of course, decreed by fate to be as rainy and as raw as possible, and this particular one proved no excep- tion. However, no amount of rain can dampen, no amount of cold can chill the enthusiasm of Prom-trotters on the great night, and the crowd that thronged the ball- room of Hotel Cleveland on March 22, 1929, typified the glamour of college, of spring- time, and of glorious, care-free youth. The Prom was scheduled for ten o'clock, but the Promenade did not take place until about mid-night. Shortly thereafter, the dancers repaired to the dining-room for supper, which consisted of Hawaiian salad, rolls, ice-cream and cakes, and coffee. After supper, dancing was resumed to the accompaniment of Stubby Gordon’s State Theatre Orchestra until two o’clock, when the strains of “When Day is Done” gave the signal for departure. Chaperons for the Prom were Miss Smith, Mrs. Brewster, Mrs. Rooklidge, and Miss Phelps. Members of the committee were Mildred Maul (chairman), Frances Stewart, Alice Wheatcraft and Mary Hinds. SENIOR-SOPHOMORE ParTY April the twelfth of this, the senior year for one class, APRIL 12 and the sophomore year for another, saw the convoca- tion of these two classes for the purpose of merry making in the good old Hall of Haydn. Long had the fair ladies (of course, we refer to the sophomores) and the gallant gentlemen (the seniors) awaited with impatience the coming of this most important event. Weeks previous had seen the gentlemen donors of, and the ladies recipients of, small missives asking and seeking for the honor of dances at this coming festivity. Once there, it was easy to see which were the favored ladies and which, the chosen gentlemen. Many a longing glance was cast by the handsome gentlemen, and many of the latter saw with a sigh his coveted fair one waltzing in the arms of another. Beauty, wit, and gaiety ruled supreme as the couples one hundred seventy-two glided gracefully over the shining floor to the strains of music from the hands of the court troubadors, or partook of the tasty refreshments provided for the guests. At midnight, the revelry ceased as each fair lady and gentleman bade one another farewell and retired to their respective homes to sleep and dream of the success of the festival. JUNIOR-FRESHMAN BaNQueT Tradition has it that each spring the junior and fresh- APRIL 17 man class shall come together for a banquet to keep alive the Big-Sister Little-Sister feeling. This year a committee composed of Marie Mueller (chairman), Esther Hieber, Maurine Rosch, Ann Andree, and Rachel Hart planned a most delicious banquet for which the tables were laid in Haydn Hall. Betty Clark, the junior class president, made a most gracious toast-mistress, when she called upon Cleo Morse, Dr. Hyde and Mrs. White to talk. Their speeches were thoroughly appreciated by their audience, as the applause indicated. Then the freshmen produced a very clever stunt, which Miss Roth, our dramatic instructor, had helped them prepare. After that, the tables and chairs were removed and the girls danced until twelve. THE SENIOR INFORMAL The Chamber of Commerce rooms in Cleveland’s new DaNcE—May 1 Terminal Tower were the scene of the Senior Informal Dance on Wednesday, May Ist. Something new in programs was seen in the blue and white Terminal Tower design on the cover. Walt Easton furnished the music for dancing. The chaperones were Miss Smith, Mrs. Brew- ster, Mrs. Pierce, Mrs. Rooklidge, Miss Phelps and the senior class faculty advisors. The dinner was served at midnight. The committee responsible for the most successful party was composed of Margaret Thomson (chairman), Ruth Peterson, and Geraldine Staerker, Campus NIGHT Haydn Hall and the gym once again donned their May 18 festively kaleidoscopic robes for Campus Night, 1928, and became a veritable circus-ground with side-shows. barkers, fortune-tellers, vivid balloons billowing about, and intriguing little booths designed to entice idle wanderers. Features of the affair were widely differentiated and calculated to meet the many and varied tastes of any and all patrons. “Beans”, with the hope of reward it held out to all comers, shared honors with the “Golliwog”, whose agility was taxed to the utmost in dodging the missiles so dexterously hurled; candy, fortune-telling, and the inevitable “‘hot-dog” constituted the attractions at other booths, while “Kay” Balliett and the H.A. girls made a final effort to please with their tea-room. Dancing in the gym, to the accompaniment of Hal Crease’s orchestra, provided, of course, one of the most popular sources of amusement of the evening. The crowd, whose faith in Mother Nature had led them with truly optimistic foresight to brave the slight flurry of rain early in the evening, was as hilarious as only such a crowd could be, and added the final touch to the gay scene our quiet campus witnesses once every year. TREE NIGHT The witchery of midsummer night lent to the sopho- May 25 mores a theme for their Tree Night, weaving about the audience a web of fairy lore and transporting a memory- bound old man to the land of dreams-come-true. A wedding of long ago and a gal- lant young beau presenting his lovely bride with a music-box, a tribute to her ever one hundred seventy-three POLYCHRONICON| flute-like voice; then an antique shop filled with the treasures of an age-bent man who cannot live apart from his memories and must therefore occasion his harassed young granddaughter, Nancy, no little embarassment when she must refuse to all tourists the trifles which have caught their fancy. Then—the Knight rides by and stops. The curious old music-box, whose voice, like that of its one-time owner, has long been stilled, has caught his eye and he needs must buy it. But that could never be sold, and over its silent framework another romance begins for little pink-ginghamed Nancy, who daily flies about dusting, managing the shop, and directing the menders, and the man to whom happy chance has shown the old music-box. The magic wine of youth and love stirs in their consciousness a belief in the old superstition of midsummer night, and on that night Peter comes, calling to Nancy to keep their tryst and watch in the shop like happy children to see if there really are fairies. Then the old man enters and sits down to dream in the twilight of the little shop. One by one, the antiques come to life to live a brief while as the hours dance away—the Dresden China shepherd can step from his pedestal to join his shepherdess- love far across the room; the Dutch figures on the big plate quicken to a new life; the gallant of the silhouette can once more make known to the bonneted little figure facing him, his love for her; and finally, when all is quiet, from out the old music-box drifts a wraith-like figure in a bridal gown of long ago, to sing for an old lover the song which had once quickened to being a young love. Then from out their hiding place into the magic hush, bound by the spell of Midsummer night, come Peter and Nancy to add a little human touch to the magic of the night, and the presentation ends as it had begun—with that most interesting of all events, a wedding. The play was written by Elizabeth Keyser, with the help of her committee, con- sisting of Alice Wheatcraft, Marjorie Kloss, Dorothy Cox and Alberta Higley. The business was taken care of by Mercedes Waterman (chairman), Maurine Rosch and Janet Leckie. JUNIoR-SENIOR BANQUET The realization that “parting is such sweet sorrow” JUNE 11 must have moved the junior class to entertain its de- parting sister senior class at a banquet on June 11, 1928. In a setting of senior rose and junior white, five long tables were arranged in Haydn, each guest place marked by a tiny white diploma which disclosed to view such valuable information as the details of the menu, the names of the speakers, and the names of the committee members responsible for the pleasurable time. The menu, as planned by Margaret Thomson (chairman), Dorothy Reynolds, Viola Hilgen, Nellie Badger, Florence Weiss, and Marion Beardsley, consisted of veal birds, pimento creamed _pota- toes, tomato and cucumber salad, hot rolls, and ice-cream. Following this sumptuous repast, Eleanor Iler, as toastmistress, introduced the speakers: President Vinson, Dean Smith, Catherine Meyer, Dr. Bourne, and Professor Shoup, who wished the graduating class “Bon Voyage”. STEP NIGHT Fortune’s wheel favored the class of ’28 on this night JuNE 11 of nights, Step Night. One of the most effective spectacles of the College for Women, it had for its recent setting a perfectly enchanting June evening. In the cool, fragrant darkness the seniors, having dined sumptuously at a farewell banquet with the juniors, now in their caps and gowns marched in a stately procession to “Prexy” Thwing’s home. Here, with lighted candles in their hands, they serenaded our former president, and then one hundred seventy-four returned to the campus where they congregated on the steps of ivy-covered Clark Hall. In accordauce with the tradition which has been established, the seniors sang as many original songs as there were years in the class numerals, in other words, twenty-eight songs. Then the president of the senior class, Catherine Meyer, gave her candle to the president of the junior class, Eleanor Iler, and the rest of the black-robed seniors passed theirs on to the gaily dressed juniors. They, in their turn, stood on the steps of Clark Hall and sang their lovely farewell song to the departing class. What a night, and what memories to carry away, even though tinged with a soft, sweet sadness. anaes BREAKFAST Among the many festivities of Commencement week UNE 12 was the Senior Breakfast, at which the juniors enter- tained the seniors. Tradition has it that this is the one occasion in a college girl’s life when her “affairs of the heart” may be revealed to an eager audience, which is always ‘“‘just thrilled” to hear the announcement of an engage- ment. While no romances were publicly proclaimed at the “confession breakfast’’, nevertheless, it is rumored that Dan Cupid was lurking in the background and doubt- less would have triumphantly announced himself, had he been given the proper en- couragement. After a delicious breakfast, Margaret Thomson and Margaret Quarrie entertained the guests with a clever dance. Then each senior was presented with a little manicure set in pink. After the breakfast, the seniors filed into the Church of the Covenant, thinking that one of the most delightful things for a senior is being feted at Senior Breakfast. COMMENCEMENT A sudden hush, followed by the loud, triumphant peal JUNE 13 of the organ. Heads swiftly turn to the rear of the church and necks crane as the ceremony of the annual Commencement of the College for Women begins. Down the long aisles of the Church of the Covenant march the seniors, two by two, led by Miss Emma Perkins, who has been marshal for many, many years. The occasion is a solemn one, yet it is filled with various emotions—the triumphant sense of achievement, the inestimable longing to per- petuate the four years in college, and dreamy visions of the future. But, how soon the service is ended! Music, a few words from President Vinson, simple and straightforward, yet carrying a depth of meaning, and the seniors somehow find them- selves with their diplomas in their hands. Another commencement is ended. Then, they gather around the Sun Dial, where kisses and hand-clasps are given, and flowers are exclaimed over and admired. Finally, each girl bids farewell to the old Sun Dial and its many associations and find her way homeward, filled with thoughts of the past four years, and dreams and aspirations for tomorrow. one hundred seventy-five “Why should we break up Our snug and pleasant party?

But when you come right down to the point, it’s an ill wind that doesn’t blow someone good. Per- sonally, I take a most cheerful outlook on the subject. It’s perfectly evident that a crisis of this sort was just what was needed to bring the student body of Reserve down to work. Dainty damsels who have spent from one to four years playing bridge at Haydn or soaking up sundaes at Streich’s, have risen to the emergency with astounding vigor.

A man, six feet tall, dressed in a light gray suit, blue shirt, red tie, black overcoat, felt hat pulled down over his left eye, was walking east, rather slowly along Euclid Avenue. When he approached the “Tombs” he stopped, caught his breath, looked at the gymnasium building; then mumbling something, he quickened his pace, going in the same direction as before—east. In a second he began to run—then faster and faster until he came up before the Barbecue on the EAST of Mayfield Road. He glanced behind him furtively, then entered. He ordered a cup of coffee. After eating this rather hastily, he paid his twenty-five cents, pulled his hat further down over his lef t eye, and went out. This time he walked west. Despite the fact that the traffic signal was red, this tall man (six feet) in the gray suit, blue shirt, red tie, black overcoat, and felt hat, crossed the street. In the middle of Euclid Avenue he tripped over a car-track and fell prone to the ground. He ejaculated somewhat violently, “Darn!” Now WHY did he say “DARN”? one hundred ninety-four Economic Suggestions Dear Editor, I have noticed so many girls wastefully throwing away their old silk stockings. Might I suggest that you print in your paper the suggestion that they may be knitted into charming costumes for the gymnasium, especially if the colors are light and gay. Thank you, A DEVOTED READER. Don’t throw away your freshman themes. When you’re a junior you can sell them to the feature editors for the world to laugh at. Save old shoe strings. It saves immense pains and trouble if you tie your pencils to your tablets with them. You can always feel sure of their whereabouts. Keep your old diamonds instead of throwing them away when they are dirty. The Million Dollar Fund will be glad to pawn them to pay their mailing expenses. Keep you collections of fraternity pins. They may be useful to hang pictures with in later life. Don’t throw away worn-out fountain-pens. The starving Armenians are only too glad to receive them. Help the Salvation Army.

How do I know? Read this and find out. Chivalry still exists—even in our colleges. To be more specific, it exists even at Western Reserve University. Yes, at Adelbert College of Western Reserve. This story will prove it. One Saturday afternoon a fair young girl stayed too, too late in the Administration Building on the Adelbert campus. What was she doing? Oh, she was working hard, type-writing in the auditor’s office. She had never learned the touch system and had to use one finger—that is why it took her so long. At last, noticing that the sun was setting, (and hesitating to turn on the electric lights because of the entreaty to “Save for Reserve” posted beneath the button) she thought she’d better go home—besides, she had a dinner engagement for six o’clock and it was now five. So she put on her hat and coat, powdered her nose, and put on her goloshes and gloves. She was all ready to go. But alas, when she tried to open the door, it couldn’t be opened. She called frantically for help, but none came, for she was alone, all alone, in the Administration Building on Adelbert campus. Frantically she tried the other doors, but they, too, were securely locked. There seemed to be no outlet. Finally she piled chair upon chair and climbed to a window. She unlocked it, opened it, looked out and down, down. It was at least fifteen feet to the ground, and still fairly light. Could she, should she do it? This was the question which confronted our heroine. “In a little while,” she thought, “it will be dark. But what about my dinner?” Pausing on the sill of the window, she heard a Ford approaching. Help at last! It was three gallant college boys, going somewhere (we care not where) in a Ford. Swallowing her modesty, our shy heroine raised her voice and called for help. No response. Again she called. A twitch of an ear revealed the fact that her call was heard. The boys began to look about for the person in distress. At last they saw a girl seated in (not at) a window of the Administration Building, waving her arms frantically. Turning off the engine so that the gasoline might not be wasted, they rushed to her aid. She told them all about it, not forgetting the dinner engage- ment, Our brave boys scratched their heads and thought. What would Emily Post have done in a similar situation? No doubt she would have gone to a college building across the street and borrowed a ladder. That was just what they did. But fate seemed to be plotting against them, for just as they were extracting a ladder from one of the cellar windows, who should come along but the janitor. And do you suppose he was chivalrous enough to let them take the ladder to rescue our heroine? I should say not. As they were about to give up in despair and burn the building, who should loom in sight but the janitor himself—not the first janitor, but another, the janitor of the Administration Building, the janitor with the keys. The boys, overcome by emotion, fell on his neck and wept. Upon hearing their story, he produced the keys, unlocked the door and rescued our heroine from her prison—in time for her to keep her dinner engagement. She thanked her rescuers, boarded a street car, and went her way, solemnly resolving never to use a Remington noiseless type-writer again. one hundred ninety-seven Old Scotch We have recently found the meanest Scotchman in the world—the one who gave his two youngsters each five cents for going to bed without their supper. When they were asleep he stole back the money and made the children go without their breakfast because they lost it. Yesterday I heard a Scotchman at the grocery store refuse to buy Maxwell House Coffee because he thought there must be something wrong with the “last drop”. Have your heard about the Scotchman who walked five miles to see the Big League game, but was too tired to climb the fence? We hear reports of a tragic murder in Scotland. Mrs. Sandy McGregor washed out her husband’s shaving brush by mistake. I recently saw two Scotchmen walking down Euclid Avenue. Suddenly one of them stooped down and picked up a five-dollar bill. His companion borrowed the money immediately afterwards to have his eyes tested. Dotty Hain says she received an excellent photograph of a Scotch friend, but she hasn’t had time to have it developed yet. They’ve built a Scotch golf course near school, but they had to put up a sign requesting the players not to pick up lost balls before they stopped rolling. one hundred ninety-eight Last week an aviator friend of mine told one on Jamie McDougall. He said he promised to take Jamie for a free aeroplane ride if he promised not to say a word. The alternative was, of course, that he would have to pay double. When they came down, my friend had to admit that Jamie had lots of pluck. “I sure gave you a rough ride that time, but you stood it without a word,” he said. Poor Jamie replied, ‘“Man, I thought for a minute I’d have to give up, especially after that second loop, when my wife dropped out.” We’ve discovered why the Scotch national costume is the kilt. We have had it explained to us that the pants are apt to bag at the knees and give a little. There are no braver soldiers than the Scotchmen; they never give up. A Scotchman, after many years in America, began to long for his brother in the old country. He sent him the money for the voyage and at the appointed time met the boat. The passengers debarked, but he saw no familiar face. Finally, a man with a long beard approached him and claimed him as brother. The first Scotchman failed to recognize him because of the beard and exclaimed at its length. Said the second Scotchman, ‘Sure, you know, you took the razor with you twenty years ago.” Christmas in Scotland must be a dreary event; report has it that Santa Claus is dead. Small Sandy MacKay has been forced to leave school because of the necessity of paying attention. Bess says the best definition she knows for a dead Scotchman is “rigid economy”.

Horrors! Three hours in one chair! (Now at a movie the chairs would be upholstered.) Then when exams are upon you, you cram long hours and get extremely worried about your nerves, et cetera. So, to counteract this the fat girl becomes fatter, for the more she studies, the more food she thinks the world owes her; the gay girl becomes more frivolous—a relief from the strain, you know; the bright, diligent student indulges herself by looking around and enjoying the envy of the others; and the philosophic girl philosophizes— “The harder I work, the more tired I am; the more tired I am, the less I feel; the less I feel, the happier I am.”’ Therefore, dear reader if you are either fat, gay, studious or philosophic, don’t fail to come to college. Give yourself a chance. It was in Chapel. Everything was still. There was no noise, no shuffling of feet, no whispering, no coughing. It was the perfection of quietness. A speaker was talking on the question of ‘Taxation and the World Peace.” And still there was no noise. Again, I say, there was absolute silence, but for the voice of the speaker. But—of course, the Chapel was empty. This is a secret, but it can’t be kept any longer, for the world should know how two supposedly intelligent inhabitants of Guilcar House spent one sunny Sunday morning. After this is published, we hope their friends will never again sympathize with them for having to stay up so late, for now we know why. aroused sufficiently, to wonder just what this dare-devil feat was, performers were? Is your curiosity and just who its If it is, read on. If it is not, re-read the introduction, saying tra- la-la after every third word. (It heightens the effect.) It was Sunday morning, and Midge and Mosie were looking out of Midge’s window, which over-looks the parking space of the Church of the Contract. They were watching some of Cleveland’s most respectable respectability arriving at the Church in their most respectable cars. The sun was shining brightly, verra, verra. (Observe, dear reader, for it is the most important sentence.) And Midge and Mosie watched it as it flashed on the windshields of the cars. Then came the idea. It was a great idea, for it occurred to both of them at once, and so no words were necessary. They left the window and returned shortly, each with a mirror. And now, do you know what they did? They hid back of a chair, and with their mirrors, focused the sun light in the faces of these most respectable people, who were respectably coming to Church. Wasn’t that disrespectful? two hundred ize POLYCHRONICON] Age 6 Gp Ney 4) (Anti-climax) Late that afternoon, when the Church of the Contract was having its vesper services, Mosie and Midge, looking for further amusement, were taking a walk. In fact, they were going to a hospital to see a baby embalmed. They were just passing the Church of the Contract, when a respectable, elderly gentleman came down the walk. ‘“Doesn’t he look like the man who reacted so strangely this morning?” said Midge to Mosie. They had just agreed, when the respectable man stopped them and, pointing over his shoulder in the direction of Guilcar House, said, “Were you in the upper - - 2” They clutched for support and said “No” very emphatically. A whole history of thoughts passed thru their heads before he pronounced his next words. This time he repeated the question and finished without interruption. (They were too weak to interrupt.) ‘“‘Were you in the upper transept?” He then explained, but Midge and Mosie didn’t care what he was explaining; they had escaped the danger of reproof from an elderly, respectable gentleman. Such actions show that these girls are not very respectful or respectable. All we hope is that they will be punished five years hence when they take their contemplated walking tour through Ireland, where they expect to learn to grow potatoes. We know that Midge will stride along and Mosie will bob up and down, so they will never get anywhere. One Tuesday afternoon in 1999, aged and decrepit Professor Gehlke, (having diminished to a mere height of three feet) announced to his class that the trip to the insane asylum would bring fond memories of the old days, (when he was six and one- half feet tall) because there would be found some of his former pupils. Indeed, he spoke the truth, for there was Katy Goodwin, still wearing her dark glasses, grown darker, actively dropping straws on a camel’s back. She said she was trying to prove scientifically that the last straw would break the camel’s back. As yet, however, she hadn’t yet reached the end. That was too much for the class, which was not aware that Katy had been, in her day, a very inquisitive girl, and so they passed out. The next they saw was Marge Kloss, dressed in a pair of Scotch kilts, (she always could do a Scotch “turn” or so, Professor Gehlke explained, remembering that Marge had always handed her papers in on time, so that she wouldn’t have to pay the penalty) was holding close to her a page of the 1929 Polychronicon Feature section, keeping herself warm with it, and thereby proving that it was a “hot sheet,” fresh from the press. The Soci class was wondering how the aged professor had survived all this, and now, under- stood why he had grown so short, though still comparatively young. Just then, in the midst of their philosophic meditations, a small cyclone came, when long, lean, lank Liz Lynch rushed by, screaming that she was in pursuit of the academic. At this, the Soci class blinked their eyes, tore up their notes, and all decided to work in a factory. two hundred three SO Oe SO a ape Close Harmony “Liz” and ‘“Hammy” “Me and My Shadow” “Al” Wheatcraft “Lover Come Back To Me” Lois Worthington “That Precious Little Thing” “Lu” Elliot “I’ve Got A Fellow Crazy For Me” “T Wanna Be Bad” Betty Hoglan “Good Little, Bad Little You” Alice George “Let Your Smile Be Your Umbrella” Jeanette Vixseboxse “Ten Little Miles From Town” “Fran” Stewart Louise Harper Katherine Kuehle “Varsity Drag” Eleanor Selby “I Faw Down an’ Go Boom” Dorothy Manion “O Promise Me” Winifred Shaw “Charlie My Boy” Eleanor Conn “Mamie the Mermaid” “Is There Anything Wrong In That?” “Rosie” Manahan “Only A Rose” Katherine Fulghum “O Katherina” The Bohlkins “Together We Two” “Monie” Shalling “Rosy Cheeks” Raymona Hull “Ramona” Helen Coe “Laugh, Clown, Laugh” Virginia Van Epps “Girl of My Dreams” Marie Mueller two hundred four April 32nd, 1687 Ferris, Vol. 700 pp. 1-1000 Horger Vol. 1% pp. 700-53 “Warner pp. 52-52% two hundred five Sadie Glutz April 53, 1930 History 99 Syl.

Many interesting courtiers were present, among whom we find the famous names of Sir Walter Raleigh, Sir Ronald Col- man, Gilletta, Duchess of Blades, and her little blond son, Julius Caesar. As Bess was quietly munching an apple, the Ship- builders’ band of saxophonists and chiro- practors struck up the popular strains of “A Bicycle Built for Two”. (All ac- counts of contemporary historians seem to indicate that it was not till after the Great Reform Acts of 1832 that such demoralizing music was countenanced.) All of a sudden, the telephone bell rang loudly, and Napoleon dropped his knit- ting to answer it. He had expected a telegram from Josephine, and so was noticeably disappointed when he called back, “Call for Bess”. The Queen hand- ed her darning to her dress-maker, Cardi- nal Richelieu, and left the room with her maidens. With the disappearance of the ladies the gentlemen lit their stogies and continued to play croquet. Professor Puckett has given us this scientific explanation of the amazing fact that roast beef is better in time of war: More war — — fewer men. Fewer men — — more old maids. More old maids — — more cats. More cats — — fewer field mice. Fewer field mice — — more bees. More bees — — better clover. Better clover —- — more contented cows, and thus the better roast beef.
