Wells, ’27 Until recently the Woozics were very active about Gettysburg environs. The past few years bad, however, been opportune for the witnessing of the decline of that masked institution. Fewer penalties were being applied to the less obvious of cus- tom violations, for sentiment adverse to reporting them was gathering hundred- weight. To correct the resulting delinquencies, and prevent further nocturnal visits to the Battlefield, a tribunal was organized, and set to functioning in the autumn of 1923. In its short history the Student Tribunal has had loyal support. The ludicrous and thus far just punishments meted out have enlisted an eager co-operation. With other betterments, the Tribunal has replaced the occasional necessity of “eating from a shelf” by feminine attire, sign-display, or skiing. Composed of nine men, the body confers weekly, or when necessary, to con- sider cases of erring Frosh and others. Verdicts are regularly announced some week-day at 12:45, when groups of upper-classmen idle their way Forumward to watch with amusement the various penalties imposed. � 9 Z )c alumni 3t00ociatton A History Like all movements, the Alumni Association of Gettysburg College had small beginnings. It was founded on September the 16th, 1835, seven years after the founding of the college itself, when a group of eleven men gathered for that purpose in the college chapel. A constitution was adopted which was not revised until 1873. Beginning with 1836, the Alumni Association was addressed annually by some distinguished alumnus. This custom continued until 1894. A prominent feature of the early meetings of the association was the presenta- tion of an obituary notice and sketch of each deceased member. In 1858 and 1859 the association conducted a canvass for subscriptions to the Alumni Professorship of Mathematics, which chair is now occupied by Dr. Richard A. Arms. In that year also the first festival was held and the following year a din- ner was prepared for the association in the Eagle Hotel. However, in 1871 and for several successive years thereafter, reunions were held at the Springs Hotel. In 1860 and 1870 decennial reports were published giving lists of members, the positions they occupied, sketches of the lives of the deceased, and other matters of information. The Alumni Association took the initiative, and in 1879 appointed a committee to begin to prepare a program to properly celebrate the Semi-Centennial of the col- lege in 1882, and also to publish a memorial volume. The celebration was a great event in the history of the college, and the memorial volume named the Pennsyl- vania College Book then published is of great historical interest. Dr. Breidenbaugh, now Professor Emeritus of Chemistry and Mineralogy, was editor of the publica- tion and also the chairman of the committee on arrangements for the celebration. In 1884 the Association began the first movement to aid the college financially. A committee of the Association, of which Dr. Breidenbaugh was chairman was appointed in 1885 to confer with a like committee of the trustees. As a result of this conference, the Board agreed to alumni representation in its membership, and in 1887 it endorsed the nomination of the Association and elected Dr. G. I). Stahley, now Professor Emeritus of Biology and Hygiene, as a member of the board. Now the Association has six members on the Board. For many years, what arc now known as the Alumni Collations were few and far between, but in 1905 the women of the faculty and others of the town formed an association to give an annual alumni luncheon under the auspices of the Alumni Association. The moving spirit and first president of this enterprise was Miss H. L. Young, a sister of Mrs. G. D. Stahley. For many years the annual business meeting of the Association was held immediately after the luncheon when speeches were made. This annual gathering has been and still continues to be one of the most interesting features of commencement week. For some years the officers were elected annually, but since 1862, when the Hon. Edward McPherson, deceased, was elected, the officers have been re elected 0 4” Alumni Day Came each year over quite a period. Following the administration of the Hon. Edward McPherson, Charles S. Duncan held the office for about fifteen years. More recently the office has changed hands more often, being held up to last year by George H. Hummel, of York. The present officers arc: President, Rev. William F. Sunday, of New York City, and Secretary, Frank H. Kramer, of the college faculty. alumni 23ap Every year Alma Mater invites her sons to spend one day on her historic cam- pus, and on that day everything possible is done to bring back the memories of col- lege days. Last year the designated day fell on Saturday, the twenty-fifth of Octo- ber. It was a day long looked forward to by students and alumni as well. A program of varied activities was arranged which started with the football game with Mt. St. Mary’s College in the afternoon. Over two thousand students and alumni gathered on historic Nixon Field to see the “Ballets” triumph 12-6 over the visitors in a loosely played but exciting game. As an added attraction the Freshmen turned out to the game in bathrobes, while between halves they staged a snake-dance around the field in their various colored regalia. At this time also was performed the star feature of the afternoon, a boxing match between two blind- folded men, one wearing the Orange and Blue of Gettysburg, and the other the Blue and White of Mt. St. Mary’s. After the game the Freshmen completed their day’s work by tolling the bell of victory iu the belfry of Glatfelter Hall. In the evening the entertainment consisted of a presentation of Rex Beach’s famous comedy, “Going Some,” by the Owl and Nightingale Dramatic Club. The sensational and fun-provoking comedy was heartily received by a capacity house in Brua Chapel. Following this was held the annual Migratory Dance, staged by the co-operation of the various fraternities. The dancers moved from one house to the other accord- ing to their present whim and everybody seemed to enjoy themselves immensely. Thus came to an end one of the most successful Alumni Days in the history of the college. 43 Kixmon Class '04 Class Reunions Eacli year at commencement time the Alumni gather and hold their class re- unions. These arc times of greatest enjoyment when old ties of friendship are strengthened as the classmates get together once again. Commencement of 1924 was no exception to this as fourteen of the classes held reunions. One of the most active classes is that of !04 which celebrated its twentieth anni- versary with a big banquet at the Gettysburg Hotel. One of the notable achievements of that class is the publication of the 1904 Bulletin, a 70-page book, unique in college literature. Last year the Bulletin was in its twenty-first consecutive year, a record probably not equalled by any class or- ganization in any other college in the United States. It contains numerous illustra- tions and spicy letters from nearly every one of the 63 members scattered through- out 13 states and the District of Columbia. The book represents a most remarkable venture in this field of activity. The edi- tor, Paul Froehlich, of Washington, D. C., is to be congratulated on his splendid work. alumni CluDs The various district alumni clubs are active and potential factors in promoting the interest of the college and in bringing the college to the notice of prospective students. Some of the most active Alumni Clubs are found in New York, Harrisburg, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and Baltimore. They were an important factor in the re- cent drive for the million dollar endowment fund. One of the most energetic clubs is that of New York City which recently held I he Hanson Dinner” of the organization at the Aldine Club, with President H. W. A. Hanson as the guest of honor. 44 Che Classes. Senior Claos $tstorp Wc, the members of the class of 1925, can scarcely realize that our group which so recently, it seems, entered the gates of Gettysburg to acquire knowledge and wis- dom, is now standing on the threshold of a new adventure, Life. Wc cannot analyze our own feelings; wc know not whether it is joy or sorrow that causes the tear- drops to start in our eyes as wc think of that wonderful day, commencement day, which is in the too near future. True, it is what we have been working for ever since our education began, but not until now do wc realize what it will mean to say good-bye, not only to our best friends, but to our Alma Mater. Wc shall return, of course, as alumni, but it will never be the same as it was in our undergraduate days. Let us look back over the four years we have spent at Gettysburg and endeavor to see just what wc have accomplished that is worth while. We were unusually successful in our interclass contests, winning a good ma- jority of them, but losing just enough to make us realize that life in college is not a path of roses. In these contests we learned the necessity of co-operation and team work for the success of any venture, and if this is the only lesson we retain and put to practical use in our lives, who can say that it was not worth while? Our class has been well represented in varsity sports, and has furnished more than its quota of captains of teams engaged in major sports. Socially, wc have been far from inactive. Memories of the Freshman and Sophomore Banquets, the Junior Prom, the Senior Smoker, and many other social gatherings will remain with us forever. Members of 25 have been outstanding in literary and musical activities. The 1925 Spectrum, the bigger and better Gettysburgian, and the Cannon Bawl are monu- ments to the literary genius of our class. Our energies have been bent to other lines as well, and as a result we have originated several customs which will become a vital part of Gettysburg. One of these has a direct bearing on college customs, as it was for the enforce- ment of them we introduced “Daylight Hazing” into Gettysburg. A previous class had abolished the old system of “Woozie” hazing, but had left nothing in its place, so the tradition of Freshman customs threatened to become extinct. We as a class bent our energies to the task of inaugurating a new system of enforcement, and in our Junior year were rewarded by seeing the Tribunal at work. Another tradition, the result of co-operation with the new administration is the “Senior Sponsor Sys- tem.” Members of ’25 carried it through this year, but wc leave it to our successors to develop and perfect it. As we review these deeds, whatever tinge of sadness may have been in our thoughts turn to joy—the joy of a task well done, and we know that as wc go out that same gateway through which wc entered four years ago we will be able to face the future with a broader vision, and solve the problems of life in a true Gettys- burg manner.

He has an eye for the fair sex and it is reported that there were many heart-broken sennritas when Nestor sailed for the U. S. A. He intends to teach at the Young Ladies’ Academy in his native land.

All day long Anspach plays the pipes, dreaming sweet dreams of Palmyra. We predict great things of him—a steady engagement with B. F. Keith on Broadway or a student’s life in Ber- lin. Either of the alternatives would suit him perfectly, for lie can juggle tl� c test tubes as cleverly as we know he can tickle the ivories.

As long as every fellow has something about him to distinguish him from the rest of his fellow men, it might be in order to mention that “Red at consistent chess is locally unbeat- able. and scholastically belongs in the upper strata.

Anne has become one of Twenty-Six's most popular co-eds. She lias an ever ready supply of, pep, which heals many sore heads and broken hearts. Her happy and cheerful disposition should make life pleasant for those among whom she will as- sociate. As a teacher, Anne scores very high and we predict her word or look will be a whole sermon with most of her pupils. CARLTON WILLARD BAUDER n. Johnstown, N. Y.

Kappa Phi Kappa. Behold this intellectual looking chap! Beck is a very con- scientious worker, and with him work is always first. Prior to this year his trips to York were few and far between, but lately there has been a decided increase. A feminine magnet is said to be the attracting force. “They all fall sooner or later.” A JOSEPHINE A1LLEEN BENCE A V Marion Center Gamma Phi “Jo” A.B. in English Prepared at Marion Center High School; Girls' Glee Club (1, President 2); Y.

Her executive ability creates a great demand for her in college. We think the business world would claim her services if she were not headed for the Manse. Of course she should do equally as well in the religious field.

So- ciety, Vice President (2); Owl and Night- ingale; Sophomore Play; Y. W. C. A. Cabi- net (3). Gettysburg can well be proud of this “petite” maid. As an actress it is difficult to equal her. But this is not all. “Milly” always has a pleasant smile and is a good student too. What an odd combination! It works quite well with her. though. WILLIAM TAYLOR BIDDISON Frazer Sigma Alpha Epsilon “Bill” B.S. in Business Administration Prepared at West Chester High School; Gellysburgian (2, 3); Sophomore Play; 1926 Spectrum. “Bill,” the boy with the much questioned marcel. Honest to goodness though, it is natural. Perhaps this particular character- istic is one of his drawing cards as far as the ladies arc con- cerned. But even if this is not, he has a whole hand to use should this fail. Hood and Wilson were great nten. Likewise their daughters, so Bill” claims. LYNN WILBURN BORTNER York Star Club “Cupic” B.S. in Electrical Engineering Prepared at York County Academy; A. A. E. This jolly round-faced fellow with the Humpty-Dumpty appearance comes from York up and is of Y. C. A. fame. His great- est ambition in life is to eat and have ten girls to correspond with. And with it all. he claims to be taking the most difficult course in school-engineering. Of course! He is now planning a suspension bridge which he expects to place over Codorus Creek. CHARLES BILLHEIMER EDWARD Reading Sigma Chi “Bill” BJ . in Chemistry Prepared at Beading High School: Baum Mathematical Prize (2); Tennis (2); Glee Club (2, 3); 1926 Spectrum. Every class has its pretzel town repre- sentatives and '26 has hers, one of which is “Bill.” He has many talents which lie lias used to great advantage at Gettysburg. We look for him to invent a “math. formula and a chemical process by which pretzels can l c baked more scientifically, upon the perfection of which he will supply the Book Store gratis. DALLAS EDWYN BRUBAKER Altoona Alpha Tau Omega “Posic” BS. in Mathematics Prepared at Altoona High School; Sophomore Play; Sophomore Banquet Committee: Ccttysburgian (2. 3� ; 1926 Spectrum: Cannon Bawl (3); Blister (3). Posic, though quiet and unassuming, occasionally hits the high lights of York and regions known. We like his middle name and from it we get our word of encouragement. Co to it Posic, and do your stuff. If name� mean anything your future holds no losses. With your build that is a small handicap. WARREN- LEROY CLESS h. Hakrisbukc Delta Kappa Sigma “Haps A.B. in English Prepared at Harrisburg Technical High School. “Haps claims to he one of the Sewn Wonders of the World and no doubt he is right. To he different—that's Haps. As a math shark he could surpass Billy Sunday. His greatest weakness is talking—mostly about the beauty of the co eds. A good cheer- ful pal. what more can one desire? Once he grows a mustache he will be Mark Twain personified.

JOHN RANDOLPH COPENHAVER Marion, Va. Beta Theta Pi “Cope” Pre-Med. Prepared at McQuire's University School; Rifle Club. “No. Annabella, that inan on the horse is not Paul Revere. That is J. R. Copen haver. John comes to us from sunny Vir- ginia. That accounts for his equestrian skill. You know they have to travel that way in Virginia. Tltc roads arc impassable for automobiles. John is an optimist. And you have noticed that the optimists usually succeed. FRANK PAUL CURFMAN ZULLINCER A.B. in History “Curf” Prepared at Washington High School; Rifle Club. This innocent looking chap says he goes home often to go to church. Look at him. Would you believe it? We don’t. To be in company with that little girl back home is his greatest joy. His ability ns a modern Shylock has won for him a worthy position in Gettysburg. Whenever you see a cunning, sharp-eyed marksman, that’s “Curf.” Greet him with a smile. CARROL BERNARD DARLINGTON West Chester Criterion Club “Darling” BS. in Chemistry Prepared at West Chester High School; Band (3); Sophomore Play. No. don't judge this lad by his nickname. He isn’t a mamma's hoy. Just why they call him Darling we don't know. We've heard that while a freshman in clvemy lab the Co-eds be- come quite fond of his name, and since then he's known as Darling.” It may be for that reason, too, that he has chosen chemistry as his held. Ilis quietness, however, has kept us from finding flat out. CHARLES ROBERT DEARDORK Gettysburg B.S. in Engineering “Bob” Prepared at Gettysburg High School; A. A. E; Band 1, 2. 3); Class Baseball (1). If you ever should hear some rip-roaring jaza orchestra with splendid harmony from the traps, look around, you'll sec “Bob” peep ing through. He seldom smiles, but that's be- cause he usually sleeps with music. At that they get along quite well together. Music and books seem to be his hobbies. Some say- tire former comes more natural to him, though. DOUGLASS ADRON DECKER JOiiNSONBURC Tbcla Kappa Nu “Doug” I.S. in Chemistry Prepared at Johnsonburg High School: Class Football (1. 2); Poster Committee. “Doug or Reds for short, holds the key to extra-curriculum success—a winning smile, a “gift of Webster and that form of airy- grace ’ of which Riley speaks. Doug had one college love, but site joined the Win- ter Garden. so he is through with them. You’ve heard altout a noise on wheels, well, give “Doug a pair of wheels, and he'll lie it.

In any event he has a master's voice which has already been heard all over the eastern part of the United States. Shall we tell the secret. Well via station W DBG. John is a student and so we have no talcs about love afTairs. But time holds all for which you sigh, so there little man don’t cry.” NORMAN IRVIN DRESS Pine Grove Silver Arrow “Eke” BJ . in Chemistry Prepared at Pine Grove High School. Pine Grove made just the contribution to G-Burg when it reluctantly relinquished its hold on Eke.” This harmless little boy is a friend of the many and as a chemist he is exceedingly clever. His greatest delight is in moving parties. So if perchance chem- istry should lose its attraction, there’s still the dray business to fall back on. “Eke.” The state he calls home is obvious when we say that his favorite expression is “Wic gchts. RAYMOND EDGAR DOYLE PORTACE Theta Kappa Nu “Ray” B.S. in Engineering Prepared at Gettysburg Academy; G-Book (2); A. A. E. Attractive! Nothing else but. It is re- ported that in Johnstown many fair damsels arc battling over this handsome figure, 'e feel that “Hay” will straighten all this out in a business way. As a business manager he will be efficient. His hair is growing thin, though it's not love, it’s the kids at Prep who have been giving him lots of worry. HOWARD MELVIN ENGLEHARTA . Accident, Md. Phi Delta Theta “Little Engie” BS. in Economics Prepared at Accident High School; Cannon Bawl (3). An accident give� us “Little Engie.'' another of those Mary- land boys. Happy-go-lucky with a helping liand for cveryon that's Engie. Just keep it up old boy, and “hells-bclls and panther tracks won't be able to dampen your good humor. Your experience as an Aluminum salesman and success as a producer of college calendars ought to contribute much to your work in economy. MARGARET ALICE DUSMAN Hanover B.S. in French “Marge” Prepared at Millersville State Normal. If you ever see anyone around the campus in a dreadful hurry, you will know that it is Margaret. She came to us in our Sophomore year, so we have not known her very long. But from her first appearance on the campus we have found her to be cheerful and always happy. She is headed toward the teaching profession, and from general indications we feci safe in saying that she'll make a “hustling school-marm. MARTHA ELIZABETH EPLEY STRfcV- Y Gettysburg A.B. in English “Marty” Prepared at Gettysburg High School; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet (2, 3); Clee Club 2. 3); Ciris' Ed. Society. Our busiest co-ed! Martha doesn't have much time since she has decided to become a debater. We wonder why? Why a debater or why a lack of time? Martha expects to teach, at least for a while, then to specialize in domestic science as a minister's helpmate. Her biggest specialty though is debating. She is even quite interested in “some follower of the art. ROUND Ml Fair T h Kappa o Pr T«fii « x,..

FREDERICK QUAIL FILBERT l J. Auburn Phi Sigma Kappa “Phil” A.B. in English Prepared at Gettysburg Academy: Class Base- ball (1, 2); Class Football (2). “Phil” has a real business face. During the Spectrum photographer's work here, his face was seen in a very handsome folder. It is thought that the cause of increased sales in the student body came from this singular display. Nevertheless he does “rate and that's to his credit. A football man in his early college days too. He’s taken to the finer sports now. ROLAND MURRAY FENNIMORE Fair Haven, N. J. Theta Kappa Nu “Yebo” BJ . in Enginering Prepared at Neptune High School; Assistant Track Manager (3); A. A. E. Behold the boy from “Joisey. “Roily” in his Freshman days was a member of the “Min- ute Men” which organization was supposed to be a combined effort against the Sophs. “Yebo says it never functioned and of course we believe him when he says the reason was not due to lack of courage. Since then lie's given up his interests in class discipline for a certain young lady that holds his interest. 533 HELEN ZOILA GARDNER York Sprincs A.B. in English “Hefl Prepared at York Spring. High School. Of fustian he wered a gipoun. All besmothered with hi liabergoun.” No. that is not Calli Curci singing Italian opera. It's Zoila scanning Chaucer. In view of the fact that Zoila reside in the comparatively local metropolis of York Springs we could never understand why he disregarded the commuting policy which so many of the semi-local co-eds pursue. Those desiring to know the reason, may learn hi name by mailing a self addressed, stamped envelope to the Spectrum's Editor. Walter McCartney garvin Williamsburg A.B. in English “Bill” Prepared at Ilollidayshurg High School. “Bill” i$ studious, and since this is a characteristic of a teacher, we know he will succeed. Another trait which stands in his favor of climbing the ladder to fortune, is that in the term women he has taken only tlie last syllable. But the “woe part of it always comes to man sometime, so we cannot declare his fate here and now. MERLE RUSSEL FUNK Boonsboro, Md. A.B. in Greek “Lanquid” Prepared at Boonsboro High School; Rifle Club. This boy's nickname explains his general make-up in all wav including hi relations with women. That he is good looking and the pride of Boonslsoro we don't refute and neither does she.” As a member of Dr. Billheimer's domain he would rival tike an- cient Socrates. Glancing at this promising lad. you might even judge him to lie a youth- ful spartan of the present age. MILLARD ELWOOD CLADFELTER 7.

We arc told that “Actions speak louder than words. Gladdy” is the most active man in college, therefore he is the noisiest man in college.

He expects to construct Fair- field’s first elevated. RODGERS OSCAR GERHARDT AJ Waynesboro Phi Delta Theta “Gerry” BS. in Engineering Prepared at Waynesboro High School; Varsity Basketball (1, 2, 3). Few possess the varied talents of this lad. He plays basketball of a professional type, he is attractive enough to be in the movies, he dances well enough for stage work and offers good qualities of entertainment. He expects engineering to some day be his profession. He is now contemplating the con- struction of private telephone lines. ANNA LEONA HANKEY Gettysburg Gammi Phi “Toddy” A.If. in English Prepared at Gettysburg High School; Glee Club (2); Owl and Nightingale; Girls' Ed. Society. The little town of Gettysburg did us a great favor when it sent Leona our way. Add the qualities of a good actress, stu- dent. reader, and a charming personality and what more is nec- essary? Vcrsality gives the whole story in a nutshell. Even though English is her major she becamci quite altacltcd to tltc Physics Department early in her college course. WILBUR ALLAN HARTER f. Wapwallopen Sigma Alpha Epsilon “Wap” ZLS. in Business Administration Prepared at Nescopcck High School; Glee Club (1): Assistant Baseball Manager (3). The Wap from Wapwallopen. It is reported that “Wnp went into the wilds of Red Lion to teach them folklore and got bit- ten. Now lie's praying to “Allah's Son for dcliverence. All the world loves a lover, anil so we think this is the reason that “Wap is such a favorite. Of course he must have something to offset the name of his home town.

Sig” the song composer as he will be remembered from his net in Seven Keys.” He claimS'a host of friends both male and female.

But his few years of development have already made him into a physical giant, so why worry about handicaps.

IDA ELIZABETH HARTLEY S PE MILDRED HARRIET HARTZELL Gettysburg Beta Lambda A.B. in Mathematics Prepared at Gettysburg High School: Glee Club (2); Owl and Nightingale; Sopho- more Play Committee; Sophomore Play. Ida is one of Gettysburg’s popular and successful actresses, as well as an excellent student. If we may judge by her escort on the campus, the rejected suitor in “Wedding Bells has not given up. She can not only say her lines well but solve math problems equally as well. Gettysburg Beta Lambda “Mid” B.S. in Economics Prepared at Gettysburg High School; Cirls Ed. Society. This meek, little, dark-haired coed is always cheerful and friendly. Mildred is a good dancer and can usually lie found at any of the big festivities. “Mid” is also a very conscientious girl though she doesn't say much. But then “actions speak louder than words,” and sometimes attractiveness offsets both of these, so why worry about her quietness. VIVIENNE BARBARA HESSON WILLIAMS 2 Arendtsville Gamma Phi “Viv” BS. in English Prepared at Arenduville Vocational School; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet 2, 3): Glee Club (1); Girl� ' Ed. Society.

Society; Glee Club (2).- It was not long after this smiling maiden came to us that her life was a continuous round of gaiety. But in spite of her popularity she is a true Gctlysburgian with a good word for every- one on the campus. In her freshman year she was a mighty help to a group of promising politicians on the campus in the co-ed contest. GEORGE JAMES HILL H. Cumberland, Md. A.B. in Philosophy “Blinks” Prepared at Allegheny County High School; Sophomore Play; Owl and Nightingale. Up from the south he rode one day, and now old George is on his way—well we don't know exactly where, but he'll get there. In- genuity is his middle name. And true to the philosophy of Voltoric. George made friends through the cuisine of Mitchells. He hopes to some day institute a domestic science de- partment at Gettysburg. DAVID JOHN JONES Stronc Sigma Chi “Dave” C.E. in Engineering Prepared at Ml. Carmel High School; Foot- ball (1, 2, 3). David John Jones a good American name, backed up by good Biblical strength. “Dave shows the strength part on the athletic field totin the pigskin up and down the gridiron. “Davo” now and then turns to class dreams, but we are assured that they are of “fair” utopias.

Ever since live day the up state town sent to us this ardent ad- mirer of Lord Chesterfield, we have been following his directions a an “efficiency expert. What are his fields?—rostrum, stage, journalism, and parlor. This is an odd combination but none too odd for such an agressive lad. CHARLES ANDERSON KARNAK Johnstown Thela Kappa Nu “Chuck” BS. in Biology Prepared at Gettysburg Academy. Charles drifted into college on the inflow of the Johnstown flood and it is reported that “Chuck has already permitted his bachelor- hood to ebb out to a certain young lady, car- rying our boy Chuck” with it. “Blessings or. thee little man.” CARL LEROY KAUFFMAN Mifflintown Phi Delta Theta “Curly” A.B. in Greek Prepared at Mifflintown High School. When you see a short, well built fellow walking across the campus with a smile on his face that could be noticed an “Adam County Mile away, that is sure to be “Curly Kauffman. He possesses that excellent quality of being able to show a pal the silver lining in time of adversity. PAUL JOSEPH KELLER Oberlin Criterion Club “Kel” A.B. in Greek Prepared at Gettysburg Academy; Treasurer Ministerial Associa- tion (3); Class Debate (3). Almost every fellow has something that someone else envies and Paul is not an exception. He has a class of Sunday School girls at St. James and gee how the boys do wish to change place with him! But we feel that Paul deserves this snecial privilege as he bears it quite modestly. He. too. is one of our ambitious ministerial students. WARREN LUTHER KETNERM. Ellen ville, N. Y. Phi Gamma Delta “Kel” A.B. in English Prepared at Ellenvillc High School; 1926 Spectrum; Sophomore Ploy; Owl and Nightingale; Class Debate (2) Captain (3). Ket” came to Gettysburg primarily to absorb knowledge in order that he might follow in the footstep of his father—be a minister. In spite of the fact that he spends much of his time at the Beta Lambda Sonor- ity rooms, he is making progress. Besides lie has distinguished himself as a debater. ROSCOE GREY KISTLER Garret Lincoln Club “Kiss” BS. in Chemistry Prepared at Myersdale High School. “Kiss” a student of education and parlor etiquette! “Roscoc” may sound like pcrcival but actions speak louder than words. Two loves dominate his mind. One at home and one at Carlisle. Tis said lie met her under peculiar conditions—at a “Rock-fight.” We can't say. At any rate she was struck. And now lie has started down that path common to college shieks, the path of love. A Sfcmw m ANNA DOLORES KLASE HEltfEY Ashland Bela Lambda “Klass” A.B. in Spanish Prepared at Ashland High School; Girls' Ed. Society. This small member of the class of ‘26 says that she is going to teach Spanish after she leaves Old Gettysburg, but we arc con- vinced tliat there i something more romantic for her than teach- ing. I.ct us suggest house-keeping! She should feel quite at home in a small domestic science room of Iter own. EDMUND LIETH KITZMEYER Brooklyn, N. Y. Phi Sigma Kappa “Eddie” A.B. in Philosophy Prepared at Erasmus High School. As a freshman this good-looking boy was among the most innocent. Eddie has changed, that is certain, and he now knows all the detailed facts of college life. His great- est delight is to attend class, especially Latin class, but it is rumored that he is not even so stuck on that. Success is assured because “Eddie has the ability to be a good listener.

He is one of the boys who made the Prom so memorable. But wc must mention his failing. Can you guess? Thought so. Well, she is mighty nice. And wc arc all jealous. But “Chuck” got there first, and poaching is agin’ the law.” £10 RICHARD HEFFLEY KRISSINGER Berlin Phi Della Theta “Dick” BJ . in Chemistry Prepared at Berlin High School; Class Base- ball (2). That Richard has gotten as far as his Ju- nior year without having a marriage certificate gracing his wall is a mystery. But West Vir- ginia is more than a day's journey from Get- tysburg, so maybe that's the reason. Should he not choose married life, he expects some day to be a chemist. “Dick” is quite _ the hax-hall man and knowing the “diamond” so well, we predict matrimony. That’s that. GEORGE WILLIAM KURTZ Columbia B.S. in Electrical Engineering “Kurtz” Prepared at Columbia High School; A. A. E. Noise is an essential part of any college group and above is pictured that part of the Junior class. He is another genius of Dr. Clulz's domain, and is so interested in the same that he just must talk about it aside from all the fuss he makes about Columbia. He is slated to be an engineer of the “better kind. Noise plus engineering must equal success. MELVIN HENRY LAATSCH East Point, Ca.

ARNOLD GLEN LANSBERRYH- Clearfield Star Club “Lansy” A.B. in English Prepared at Clearfield High School; Glee Club (1, 2. 3). Behold this feminine-looking chap from Clearfield. A a singer and student hi ability is remarkable. Radio listeners one night heard him sing “Mighty lak a Rose from which followed score of cards asking if it were opera night at Gettysburg. We were forced to reply tliat although such was not llte ca e, our entertainers still had hope . Another of his dreams is to make his niche in pedagogy. CHARLES ANDREW LANDIS M. Fairfield Phi Delta Theta “Maggie” ZLS. in Chemistry Prepared at Gettysburg High School; Scrub Football (1. 2. 3); Class Football (1. 2). Behind the graceful lines of this lad' face lies the worthy ambition to become, some day, the Mayor of Fairfield. Be not deceived, gentle admirer, by llte innocent ex- pression he bears. In a mixed audience lie docs not lack aggressiveness, but displays splendid qualities of social as well as political ambitions. This combination plu a start in Fairfield should insure him of a place at llte White House. BERNARD NATHANIEL LARSEN f t- R rovers, Canada B.S. in Chemistry “Ben” Prepared at Pen Yan Academy. Coming from the land where “it flow freely. Ben has come to Gettysburg a confirmed prohibitionist. He is a very se- rious chap and never allows anything to interfere with study— not even women. His ambition is to get tlie point of Dr. Zinn’s examinations, but why not hunt a needle in a hay stack? It would lie easier. Whether it be searching for atomic theories or what not, “Ben” will have a smile. RAUL KRAMER LEATHERMAN M Hummelstown Theta Kappa Nu “Hefty” BJ5. in Chemistry Prepared at Westminster High School: Class Football (2); Class Baseball (2). Two hundred pounds of beef, with com- ]� aratively less brain, that's “Hefty.” He came to Gettysburg as a Sophomore and immediate- ly announced correspondence as his major with a light chemistry course on the side. Nevertheless. Paul works with a will, and what lie will , will do. There's no doubt aliout it. Ti said no one loves the “fat but e'en so, “a man's a man. for a' a that.” CHARLES FRANKLIN LEACH Lemoyne Sigma Alpha Epsilon “Shorty” BS. in Business Administration Prepared at Cctlyshurg Academy. . Shorty had a new “Canmobile wlicn he appeared on the campus this fall. Since then, one may sen him and upwards of fifteen of the boy riding around the town in this apol- ogy to Henry. To “Shorty we donate the tissue paper ash tray for sleeping in class before the roll is called. We don't know if it is insomnia or dream of the “only one. Who ever this individual may lie, we know site must lie “there.” VII s SPURGEON JOSEPH LEBER f - Jacobus Phi Gamma Delta “Spurg” A.B. in History Prepared at York High School; Glee Club (2, 3); Ministerial Association. Spurg” sallied forth from the precincts of Jacob one day and landed at Gettysburg with a proclivity for song and an appre- ciation for cigars. Running true to the homo genus” lie realized that Kipling was right when he said that a woman is ever a wo- man. but a cigar’s a good smoke.” Nevertheless, Leber docs have an eye for a little York teacher. As a minister he will succeed. fred McLaughlin a . Bloomsburc Criterion Club “Mac” BS. in Chemistry Prepared at Bloomsburg High School. Here's a lad from Bloomsburg that any little metropolis might be proud of. “Mac” lias a fine sense of civic duty as shown by the fact that he went home to vote at the presidential election. Personally, we think that this is the reason for his smoking so many cigars this year. And. you might ask. where did the weeds” come from? We cannot answer that. But then we arc sus- picious person� —like you. DANIEL EDMUND MANGES Harrisburc Sigma Alpha Epsilon “Eddie” A.B. in German Prepared at Harrisburg Technical School; Scrub Football (1, 2); Class Football 1, 2); Rifle Club 2. 3). “Eddie” is Gettysburg's premier hunter. His taste� arc two-fold. Wild and domesticat- ed fowls.” Some skirt the woods around the meadows of Adams County and others perch along the marshes of Hanover dance halls. Wherever they are Eddie” is always lucky enough to find them. For him, to hunt is to find, to have is to hold. STANLEY SCHAFFER MANIFOLD Manchester Delta Kappa Sigma “Manny” A.B. in English Prepared at Palmyra High School; Class Baseball (1, 2); Class Basketball (1.2); Band (1,2,3). His expression is angelic. Yes, he’s a minister's son. He came to his Dad's Alma Mater to uphold the family name and not primarily to acquire knowledge, although lie accidentally gets some now and then. Manny” has distinguished himself as a musician, as well as an athlete of a diversified nature. Foot- ball for tackling, basketball for courting and baseball for “diamonds.

He looks peaceful. But, oh! My, what a noise he can make with that horn of his. He just blows that cornet from morn till night. However, as a musician, “Manny is unques- tionable as has been evidenced by his work with C-Burg s orchestra. Blow a tune, sing a tune, bring the girls around you. That is just what “Manny” docs—and to perfection. “Al holds the hand of Morpheus too frequently. Aside from a peculiar mania for class snoozes, “Al.” like the old philosopher, believes in the adage “Variety is the spice of life. Consequently, each new date is a new face and each new face is a new love. They tell us that Al’� ” room looks like a rogue’s gallery. We know the business world will welcome him in spite of these weaknesses. ROBERT HENRY MAURER Wilkes-Barre Phi Gamma Della “Bob” H.S. in Chemistry Prepared at Wyoming Seminary. One and all wondered and asked who R. H. Maurer was upon seeing hint drift about the campus in the fall of 1924. The psychology of it was that the man is poised, leisurely, and digni- fied. No other triad of words could characterize a single fellow more aptly. The historical point of the matter is that Bob, too. broke into local horizon as a Junior. He's all tltc time studying, and refereeing, and playing bridge. WILLIAM NORRIS MELLOR W est Chester W’arren Club “Pap” US. in Engineering Prepares! at West Chester High School; Sopltomorc Play Staff. Pap is in G-Burg accumulating know- ledge which he hopes to use in constructing one of the great structures of our skyscraper world.

He is always doing or trying to do. His tal- ents run especially along dramatic and jour- nalistic lines. His congeniality is known all over the campus. From this product of New York manhood big things arc expected.

When “Kinks” embarked upon the ca of life, he carried with him his magic banjo.

There, with Orphic strain he play to the Venus of his heart. Prepared at George School; Carver Latin Prize (1); Class Honors (2); Girls’ Ed. Society. Behold one whom the fairies have favored.

Just as planks are needed in a political platform, so in collegiate bodies. This hap- pens to be a Plank of technical fame. Aside from this he is a crack shot and has led O-Burg to many victories on the rifle range, and next comes the range of life.

CHARLES LAWRENCE REBUCK Harkisbukc Phi Kappa Psi “Larry” BS. in Biology Prepared at Mercersburg Academy. This boy just simply glories in college classes and the vo- cation of Shickhood.

A big smile, a clever sense of humor, and a keen mind, that's Jack.” We wonder sometime if he'll ever get serious. Possibly he's waiting for the critical moment when he sees that Tittle girl we’ve been hearing so much about; then the fatal question. Next to a soldier. Jack claims medicine to be his profession. He was quite a hit in the army, so judge for yourself his success in the other field. 100 RALPH WILLIAM RICE M . Cumberland, Md.

His hobby is Dr. Arm’s Math class, however, he has decided in favor of Creek. To he ever cheerful and to help others is his ambition, and the same he has emphat- ically practiced on the campus.

RUTH MARGARET SACHS Gettysburg Beta Lambda “Boots” BS. in Mathematics Prepared at Gettysburg High School; Girls’ Ed. Society, President (3); Tennis (2). Ruth is one of the many girls in the class of '26 who is athletically inclined. Bas- ketball, swimming and tennis are but play to her. As far a we know she has not trust- ed herself to any member of the opposite sex. Often quite a wise policy, we hear, and be- cause of this, we often wonder if lack of wisdom is not sometimes the more pleasant. 103 ■■ FREDERICK ROBERT SEIBEL, JR. NJ.

The shoe-town did us a great favor when it sent this youthful curly head to Gettysburg. Curly after a strenuous struggle with pessi- mism and a Star auto has finally become ac- climated to college life.

It's not so for from G-Burg to the East when there's a connecting link.

Johnstown did itself a great good when it relayed this mass of good-looking avoirdu- pois to Gettysburg. His greatest desire in life is to own a natural gas plant in Johns- town. a very appropriate ) o ition. Haps is always smiling and we hope he will smile in facing the adversities of business life.

However the lure of Gettysburg was too great for him and last year found him with us again. Aside from his studies. Hanover occupies most of his time. Not that he is serious, being one of the numerous “engaged,” but it seems to be an interesting occu- pation. He’s not the only one that has found it so. GEORGE FREDERICK GUTMAN Baltimore, Md. Silver Arrow “Gutlie” A.B. in Creek Prepared at Baltimore City College. Here’s another of our Greek students. George hails from the bay metropolis where oysters arc oysters and fish are fish. Al- ways a hard and consistent worker, we often wonder why he was ever born south of the Mason and Dixon line. All that is nec- essary now. George, is a little of that silver-tongued stuff and the converts should swarm up by the hundreds. HOMER EMMERT THORSTENBERG Johnstown, N. Y. Lincoln Club “Thorstic” A.B. in Philosophy Prepared at Johnstown High School. “Thorstic,” although very quiet, has made his niche in class annals. As representative to the Student Council, he has carried the class through many discussions with the keenness and pre- cision of one capable of logical thought. Homer finds sonic of his best friends in the books, papers and magazines in the “Y.” and in the great Latin writers. 1 - 1 Class fttstorp Classes may come, and classes may go, But old G-Burg goes on forever. So sings the bard of ’26. Upon looking back over the years this class has been a part of Alma Mater, he is reminded of those immortal words of—who was it?— but they arc an interpretation of the thought— “The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what we did here.” Thus the words of that savant express the heritage of the illustrious class of nine- teen hundred and twenty-six. The college will never forget what we did here, and we have reason to believe, will not even forget what we said here. Napoleon never entered a locality with more pomp than did an army of fresh- men back in 1922. From the four corners of the earth did they congregate for the pursuit of greater erudition. Although they arc still pursuing, they stand today as a monument to that endeavor. Were “Bill Shakespeare here to interview us, he would surely ask, in that phrase of his which is found in but one place in all his works— How now?” In order to rest his nomadic soul which ever haunts us, we shall attempt to satisfy his curiosity by reading from our unfolded chart of recorded activities. Glatfelter Hall had just begun to function in regular form, when the first Sat- urday after the opening of school appeared on the calendar. That day witnessed a “tug-of-war” on Nixon Field which would have made the old Roman “tuggers” blush in shame. Suffice to say, we gave that event to the little Sophs, for in the next contest, the “Tie-up”'we showed our monitors their correct place. Having proved our brawn, we displayed our mental faculties in the forensic tilt in Brua Chapel a short time later by out-arguing the Sophomores on the ques- tion: Resolved, That the Kansas Industrial Relations Court Act should be enacted SCORE OXE FOR '26 ?? Legislation by the State and National Governments. The Juniors and Seniors debated this same question, the Juniors carrying off the honors. It now behooved us to take the upper-classmen into camp, which we did, debating the same issue, thereby winning the inter-class championship of the college. lie pig-skin’ affair as recorded in the law books of class athletics show tacts substantiating the valid claim of Soph honors in the gridiron battle by a court 11G decision of 12-0. On Ac next page of the same book one can find concerning “court frays the class of 26 advancing just claims to a 28-9 basketball victory over ’25. After laboring so diligently we felt the need of succor and so as spring came round we planned the never to be forgotten banquet. The date was a whispered treasure and the place, the Hoffman House, an anticipation. At last tempus heave, cakc! fugited” and the day arrived. Alleys, roofs, masquerades, and cars served as means of approach to the hotel. Of course, it wasn’t that we were afraid of the Soph pickets, but that we didn’t wish to disappoint them in trying to way-lay us. The banquet proved a real success, every member of the class being present except the girls, and one brother, who was out of town “on business.” Program W. E. Johnston, Toastmaster Addresses—G.

Hassenfuss, Jr. The last event of the Freshman year was our fray on the diamond with our worthy Sophomore competitors. They proved the better team and caused us to “bite the dust” for the count of 7-6. It was a hard fought game, and not until the last minute were the Sophs sure of a victory. Of course we acceeded their victory, but down in our hearts we knew we had the better team. But as some sage has said, “That ain’t the stuff which counts on paper.” WISER MEN The Sophomore year found us entering college gates wiser for the past. Know- ing all the “ropes” now, we immediately settled into the train of events. The class met and elected M. E. Gladfcltcr, president; W. C. Miller, vice president; A. S. Sipe, secretary; W. S. Stevens, treasurer; and W. K. Hunger, historian. Feeling more benevolent toward the world as a whole, and the incoming class in particular, and realizing the joy of success we felt in the “Tie-up” the preceding year, we lost to ’27 in the annual event. We soon focused our attention upon debating and during the inter-class con- tests we sought to win again. Our debate with the Frosh netted us a victory. The J17 question was: Resolved, That the Volstead Act should he amended to allow the sale of beer and light wines. Since the Juniors defeated the Seniors, we met the upperclassmen for the championship on the question: Resolved, That the Trus- tees of Gettysburg College should adopt a policy of co education. We upheld the affirmative side of the issue and again came out “on top.” This gave us the cham- pionship for two consecutive years. Unlike our first year, we won the annual football game with the Frosh, 12-7. and added to our athletic conquests by defeating the class of ’27 in basketball, 16-15. Dr. Richard A. Arms, director of the dramatics commenced our stage career when lie accepted “Seven Keys to Baldpate” to produce as the annual Sophomore play. The play was written for the stage by Ceorge Cohen and played to a great success on Broadway. The committee in charge of the play selection was com- posed of J. W. Oslrom, chairman, A. S. Sipc, N. G. Asbury, C. R. Kasc, E. Baker. Misses Hartley and Troxel. Plays like “To the Ladies,” “Show Shop,” “Gappy Ricks,” and others were considered. Upon production in Brua Chapel, February 15 and 16, it proved a real success, and one of the largest of college audiences ever in Chapel acclaimed the play as one of the best ever staged at Gettysburg. The second semester brought with it the anticipation of the Sophomore banquet. Preparations began early and when the night drew around wc found ourselves once again at the Hoffman House with envious Frosh pacing York street and peer- ing through the windows of the hotel with villainous but useless intent. The class, as it seated itself in the long dining hall, found a score or more of its co-eds within its group making the event far more pleasant, that being the first time wc had eaten together in that same hall. Favors in the form of cigarette cases were distributed. College songs, music, speeches, together with that old “mammy cooking” and the presence of the “fair ones” marked the occasion as one to lie long remembered. The program of the Sophomore banquet held March 26, at the Hoffman House was-as follows: M. E. Gladfelter, Toastmaster Speakers—Mrs. H. W. A. Hanson, President H. W. A. Hanson, Dean P. M. Biklc, Dr. R. A. Arms, Prof. A. V. Johnston, “Haps” Mordan. Reading—Melvin H. Laatsch. Alma Mater Music by the Class of 1926 Orchestra Committee—Anne Baker, C. D. Klingler, W. H. B. Stevens. D. E. Brubaker, J. M. Sperry, b. J. Stauffer, E. W. Allen, C. W. Baudcr, M. H. Laatsch. } Once again the baseball season came around, and our men began to “warm up for the annual tilt with the Frosh. Remembering our defeat of the previous year, we were determined to win. Practically the same line up of the former year was die spur to prick the side of our intent,” and we appeared on the field to take the day. Krissingcr and Manifold formed the battery and “Kris’ ” first ball set the pace for the battle. When the dust had risen and settled at the end of twelve innings, we found that the score man tallied us with a 4-3 win. Here was “some- thing accomplished, something done” so we took our night’s repose. UPPER'CLASSMEN I he fall of 1924 found us upper classmen. How different college seemed as wc began our work as Juniors. Customs, save one or two, to differentiate us from the seniors, were inapplicable to us now, and graduation was a year nearer, yet tar enough away to prevent, to a certain degree, fears of it, and life on the campus was beginning to prove the uniqueness of a college career. wi '26 PUSHES THEM We met and elected the following officers: W. K. Ramsay, president, R. W. Rice, vice president, M. Laatsch, secretary, S. L. Phillippy, treasurer, and in the absence of W. K. Hunger, the office of historian was conferred upon J. W. Ostrom. The Spectrum, the class annual, drew our attention immediately, and C. R. Kase was elected Editor, with S. L. Phillippy the financial wizard of the project. Junior Prom, the big “hop” of the college career, although far off, concerned the class from the first month, and a committee to put the dance “across” was ap- pointed with A. S. Sipe as chairman. The committee worked diligently to make the Prom a real success. After a great deal of consideration “Ted” Weems and his orchestra from Philadelphia were selected. He arrived on February 13, and the walls of the Academy resounded with the soft “peppy” refrains of the orchestra. The Academy hall was beautifully decorated in a rose garden effect, the walls covered with a rose design. Around the hall were placed greens and arbors real- istically representing a rose garden. The soft lights, the garden effect, together with the melodies of popular refrains insured the class of a successful dance. The memory of it still lingers and wc should like to say again, “On with the dance, let joy be unconfined— No rest till morn, when youth and pleasure meet.” The Owl and Nightingale Dramatic Club instituted a new activity into the extra- curricular life of the college during the past year. Under the spur of Dr. Richard A. Arms, dramatic director, a “Dramatic Workshop” was opened. Its purpose was to stimulate latent writing ability in the student body. So, offering a prize and a guarantee of production for a winning original play of a regularly enrolled mem- ber of the institution, the Workshop formally opened. Twenty-six feels proud of three of its members. When the prize announcements were made it was found that E. G. Heissenbuttel had won first prize, and J. W. Ostrom had received first hon- orable mention, and C. A. Arncson second honorable mention. AJI three men arc members of !26. Arncson had collaborated with Miss Helen Disc in the writing of his play. On January 24, the plays of Heissenbuttel and Ostrom were produced in Brua Chapel. After the presentation, the Dramatic Workshop was acclaimed a success. Whatever our need of success, whatever we have or may contribute to the col- lege or to the outside world, wc owe to Alma Mater. The class of 1926 has become a part of the college and throughout the years will continue to feel itself a prop for the mother institution. _ ... John W.

For three consecutive years a different team from the class has succeeded in securing the interclass championship of the college and consequently the award of Gold Medals in recognition of this honor. Beginning with the Freshman year a team composed of Kase. capt., Gladfclter, Schmidt, and Laatsch. alternate, was selected from a field of about twenty con- testants to represent the class on the forum. This team not only accomplished the unexpected in defeating the Sophomores, but, not satisfied with this success, culmi- nated their triumph in a victory over the Juniors, the winners of the Junior-Senior affair. In doing this they accomplished what no other class in the history of the college has done, and that is, the winning of the interclass championship in the Freshman year. The next term required an entirely new team to be selected, as the winners of a championship are debarred from any further participation in inter-class debates. The personnel of this team consisted of Arneson, capt., Straley, Ramsay, and Ket- ner. alternate. They repeated the success of their predecessors by first defeating the Freshmen and then triumphing over the Juniors on the popular question: “Re- solved. That the Trustees of Gettysburg College should reinstate co-education into Gettysburg College.” There was present at this debate probably the largest audience that ever turned out to an interclass debate. In fact, that evening the 1926 team had the backing and active support of the entire Coed student body which was in attendance to hear a defense of their case. Again, during the year just past, the championship was won for the third time by a team composed of Ketncr, capt.. Hciscnbuttle, Keller, and Ostrom, alternate. Ihus the class of 1926 has set two precedents in this field of activity alone, that is. winning the interclass championship during the Freshman year and then holding that championship for three consecutive seasons. 1926 MG” The class of ’26 boasls of nine “G” men and an all-class team of 28 composed from the various branches of intcr-class athletics.

Who will ever forget that first Saturday afternoon when we tremulously met the Sophomores in the traditional “Tug-of-War” and “Tie-Up”? Remember how we won the “Tug” and how we overwhelmed them in the “Tie-Up”? But we soon learned that life was not all roses. The Sophs defeated us in the debate, and in the football game, on the basketball floor, and on the baseball diamond. However, the scores were so close that our adversaries did not dare boast of their victories. During the academic year, a few of our athletes gained permanent positions on the football squad, on the debating team, on the basketball squad and on the baseball nine. And so it was that by the end of the term some of our members had edged their way into every campus activity. Last June we scattered to our homes with the feeling that we had fought a good fight and had won. In September we returned as Sophomores! That was a glorious feeling! This year we won the “Tug-of-War,” but lost the “Push-Ball Contest” and the “Shoe Race,” which events were installed to take place of the “Tie- Up.” 'Hie Frosh bowed to us on the forum by a decision of 2 to 1, and on the gridiron by a score of 6-3 Just before the Christmas holidays the cast for the Sophomore Play was selected. On the nights of February 13 and 14 we presented with great success “The Tailormadc Man.” Its success was due primarily to the hearty co-operation of every fellow-classman. Nearly two years of our college career have passed. We are well on the road to graduation. Although that road has been rough at times, our courage has been undaunted. True enough, a few of our number have fallen by the wayside, but the rest arc all struggling on. When we reach our destination and stand on the threshold of life, wc shall fight its battles with the same unconquerable courage. Georce Brown Bikle, Class Historian. President S. H.

This was the largest Freshman Class ever matriculated at Gettysburg. The Sophs soon initiated us into the full meaning of the word “freshman.” No efforts were spared to put into us the G-Burg spirit. On the first Saturday after the opening of school, we participated in the class events between the Freshmen and Sophomores, the first struggle in our class history. The newcomers easily triumphed over the class of 1927 in two out of the three events. Superior teamwork on the part of the Sophomores, however, lost the “tug-of-war” for the untrained ten who represented the “plebes.” Fifty Sophomores and fifty Freshmen took part in the pushball contest, which this year was substituted for the annual “Tie-up.” In this event the Freshmen held their opponents to a 2 to 1 score. The Frosh also emerged victorious from the “shoe-scramble.” The oratorical ability of the new class was next pitted against that of the Sophomores. In this, however, our opponents won the decision of the judges. Meanwhile members of the class of 1928 were identifying themselves with col- lege activities. Several men made the varsity football squad, and others were be- ing lined up as promising basketball, track, and baseball material. The rifle team is composed almost entirely of members of the Freshman class. Other newcomers made their debut into the debating squad, dramatics, the Cannon Bawl and Gettys- burgian staffs. With the opening of the basketball season it was found that the Freshmen pre- sented a high percentage of available material. Four members of the class found berths on the varsity squad, and the all-Freshman team was one of the strongest formed here in many years. Since matriculation last fall, the class of 1928 has proven its ability and its willingness to back Gettysburg College in all the things for which the institution stands. With three more years before us the prospects of the class of 1928 appear exceedingly bright. Charles M. Crownshield, Class Historian. .4ZWCHT. President Vice President Secretary Treasurer R. T.

Anna Diehl Equality of opportunity between the sexes may stand as the stuff of a new school of political philosophy, and the enfranchisement of women may be of almost con- temporary origin; but the record of girl students at Gettysburg College could long ago have been pointed to in argument for the signal effect that such an innovation would precipitate. Back in the early eighties, when it was queer for women to enter an institution of higher learning, Alma Mater experiened its first female touch. Subsequently an increasing number of the “refining influence” matriculated in brave disregard of the prejudicial aversion to female educational advancement. Today we have an abiding enrollment of them that well approximates the century mark. After-life will find them occupying places of distinction, many in the spheres of education. Finding dormitory and other facilities lacking, the co-eds have had to get along as best they could. The result of this “getting along” is that as students they arc far above average, while to dramatics they arc practically indispensable. The fair collegians arc part and parcel of the cheer at mass meetings and games, and such would seem dull without them. That no ascetic-like oi retiring mode of conduct hinders their contribution to the institution is established by mere reference to their own activities, which reference shows the co-ed to be an average “fellow.” Their part in our social life is seen in the drawing of ed or co-ed for the doings of either when it comes time to “step out.” ©iris’ educational £ octetp President Vice President Secretary-Treasurer Girls having the organizing instinct that is common to everyone, it is not sur- prising that Gettysburg co-eds have banded vocationally into what is known as the Girls’ Educational Society. Although suggestion long before had it that such a move should be made, the organization was not effected until the fall of 1923. With the encouragement of Dr. Frank H. Kramer, who liberally lent a helping hand, the Girls’ Educational Society was drawn up on what are believed to be service- able lines. The intent of the society’s founding calls for the kind of united activity that will enlarge an already inculcated interest in affairs educational, this purpose to be achieved through the consideration of weighty matters of interest in the world of education. There is here, therefore, something complimentary to the book-learn- ing taken over in the class room. The organization’s experience of last year has been highly satisfactory in point of success, as heretofore. Speakers of large dimension in the teaching profession appeared and imparted helpfulness at monthly meetings. The upshot of this prac- tice of contact with persons of prominence already in the educational harness is that a working and first-hand insight will confront the job-to-be-tackled with a better equipped beginner. The opportunities offered by the organization, in addition, reach to the upper-class, non-educational girls, to whom it extends membership.

W. C. A. is completing its fourth year of activity at Gettysburg College. It has gradually grown in religious and social influence. The Y. W. C. A. has a two- fold purpose, to teach the “Jesus’ Way” of life and to bring about a closer relation- ship among the girls of the college. As soon as a freshman girl sets foot on the campus the Y. W. C. A. takes care of her and makes her feel at home by means of the “Big Sister” plan, which has been very successful in the last two years. Plans arc being made this year to send many representatives from Gettysburg to the annual conference at Eagles Merc in- stead of the usual one representative as in former years. Some of the memorable good times and social functions of the past year have been the Candle Light service, the hikes to Spangler’s Spring under the pleasing direction of Mrs. W. W. Wood, the Sunrise Meetings at Oak Ridge and the Hallowe’en Party. The bi-weekly meetings arc well attended and are very enthusiastic. Every co-ed on the campus is back of the Y. W. C. A. which is striving for even greater suc- cess and greater achievement on the campus of Gettysburg College.

Foremost in their hearts and minds, acting as a great propelling force, is the moral and spiritual welfare of the students. The foundation upon which our Alma Mater was built was one of cultural and Chris- tian education. The Woman's League represents a great telic force which looks to the foundation ideal as a guiding light. In this organization of Christian women are embodied those mighty potentialities from which the school has and shall continue to receive an unequalled spiritual benefit. The Woman’s League has for its sole purpose the spiritual uplift of the college. The Wcidcnsall Y. M. C. A. building stands as a physical accomplishment of the League. This building was erected en- tirely by these women who are such great friends of the college. The Thirteenth Annual Convention was held in the Wcidensall building. No- vember 6th and 7th. 192d. The president, Mrs. J. E. Byers. Baltimore, presided. The president in her annual address and report showed that remarkable progress had been made during the year just past. Among many other things achieved, the most notable were: An increase of 100 in membership, bringing the total to 2,900: that the receipts for the year totaled S9.000. no inconsiderable sum indeed: approxi- matcly 160 names were put into The Golden Book of Honor and Memory.” With these and other great achievements the League completed a year, conspicuous for its unusual success. With these accomplishments and with a firm determination for a greater and better League in 1925, ended the best and most interesting convention of the Gettys- burg Woman’s League. £)ororitte0 at 3tttpsburg In line with the development of fraternities, some years ago the co-eds of Gettysburg College established the Beta Lambda Sorority. Still more recently a dif- ferent group founded the Gamma Phi Sorority. These two comprise the only two secret societies of the girls on the campus. With the permission of the Faculty, they, like the fraternities, hold four dances annually. Both play a very important part in the social life of the girls.

In line with the latter a scholarship cup is given each year on the basis of scholastic stand- ing and participation in campus activities to the fraternity ranking highest in these. There is much keen competition for this cup which was won last year by the Phi Sigma fraternity, at present not enrolled in the Council. Besides tin: Council fosters the Inter-Fraternity Basketball League and was instrumental in the successful staging of the Migratory Dance last Alumni Day. Tito present aim of the Council is to agree on some practical system of deferred pledging to alleviate the unfortunate situation of promiscuous rushing.

First in rank is Phi Beta Kappa, a chapter of which was es- tablished here several years ago, and which takes its place as one of the highest honors that a student can achieve as a result of his college course. In 1917 a chapter of Tau Kappa Alpha, the honor- ary forensic fraternity, was established on the campus. Members are chosen from among those who have repre- sented Alma Mater at least once on the forum. Of still more recent origin is Scabbard and Blade, the honorary military fraternity, which came to the col- lege in 1922, and whose members arc selected from among those commissioned officers of the cadet corps who rank as the most proficient. Kappa Phi Kappa, the honorary educational fra- ternity, established a chapter at Gettysburg in 1922. This is one of the most active of the honorary frater- nities and to it is due the credit for the staging of the first Father and Son Day at Gettysburg. l)t Beta JSappa (Honorary Scholastic Fraternity) Founded at College of William and .Mary, 1776 Pennsylvania Ioto Chapter Established at Gettysburg;, 1922 Charter Members Philip Melanchthon Bikle Samuel Grinc IIefelbowir Karl Jose� - Grimm Edcar Faiis Smith Louis Alexander Parsons Dimnek Beeber Associate Foundation Members Sivert Nielson Haccn Edward II.

Walker Campus tyonor octettes The two Campus Honor Societies play an important role in campus life. Their democratic exclusiveness causes membership in them to be highly coveted. Membership in Pen and Sword is confined to a limited number of the two upper classes and is conferred by the student body as a reward for meritorius work in athletics or other campus activities. Election to this society is considered one of the highest honors that can be be- stowed on an undergraduate student. The Blue Crocodiles is the honorary journalistic so- ciety. Its membership includes only those who arc the campus leadeis in this line of endeavor. 192 Xlov� ti« (iUOfrlirr Horan Wil BlnsUy Allhon« m-artwin ghlnwr Krallli Curran en an jtrtuorti (Cppcrclau Honorary Society) Founded 1S97 Resident Members D.

Swab Left End Left Tackle Left Guard Center Right Guard Right Tackle - Right End Quarterback Left Halfback Right Halfback Fullback Cfjc Coadjing £ taff The large part of the credit for Gettysburg’s enviable record on the grid- iron is due to her unusual coaching staff. As head coach, she has in “Bill” Wood a real and rare football mentor. On the field he is a master in the game, able to use strategy where strategy is needed and to produce strength where strength is necessary. But “Bill” is not only a hero of the chalked turf. As a campus figure he can claim everybody as his friend. A chum to his understudies and a com- panion to his associates has made him a favorite in our campus life. To be a high type football coach and a real, clean sport in the game of life is a laud- able possession. Gettysburg feels proud to claim such an one. The sideline brain might be found in “Doc” Arms. For the past few years this able assistant has mapped out the plays and weighed them in the light of the opponent’s strategy. He has also proved himself invaluable as a scout for the varsity and a coach for the reserves. As backfield coach for last year’s staff, “Judy Price, ex-mayor of Dan- ville, and one of Lehigh’s sons, proved an asset to the team. His development of speed and interference was of much help to the outfit. The freshmen team hearkened to the voice of “Heimic” Reiser. His coach- ing turned out one of the best first year teams Gettysburg has ever had. To theSe four coaches much praise is due for the splendid morale of the team and the clean sportsmanship exhibited on and off the field. JTootball iftelrietD, 1924 Juniata ADutcIaoord As an opening game for the season the Wood machine met the Rote-coached warriors from Huntingdon. The fans, somewhat dubious as to the result of the game because of the gaps left in the team by last year’s senior class and puzzled by the weight of the Juniata team, carried with them as their surprise Gettysburg’s ‘10-0 score. This game was an encouragement to the fans and a splendid opportu- nity for the coach to size up the many second string men he had occasion to use in the second half. “Charlie Spangler burst into college sports and carried the ball for two successive counts. Utiref Defeats With the teams somewhat shifted because of injuries the battlefield eleven held the Lehigh aggregation on the steel town field to a 12-0 score. The battered team did remarkable work in view of the fact that the score was the same as that of the previous year and Lehigh had had as its representative the heaviest and fastest team in years. This game left its mark on the Wood machine by injuring several more valuable men. It was at State College that Gettysburg met the strong- est opponent of the season. “Bez underestimated the sharpness of the Bullets and was forced to put his first team on the field to keep the W’ood outfit from scoring. The game was an even bet until the last quarter. Then the Blue and White demonstrated their superiority and totaled a 26-0 score. In this game the work of Ray Singley, “Parke Decker, and Capt. Emanuel was commendable. With the tale of the previous weeks written indelibly upon Gettysburg’s line, the Orange and Blue defenders went to Allentown to face the greatest team pul out in the history of Muhlenberg. The flying Dutchmen seemed to jieiietrate the battlefield line at will, ami Berelli, the Cardi- nal and Gray hero, went through for gains and scores. The team in general played poor hall and the work of Dave 201 ■f TA JC LETTER MEN Jones and “Snaps” Emanuel was far superior to that of their mates. The final score was 25-0. Mil cat3 Qfllin (Alumni Day) Feeling the effects of three heavy games and preparing for the annual meet with Dickinson, “Bill” used the wildcats in the scrap with the mountaineers. With Capt. Emanuel at the helm the understudies used hut four plays and yet gave the Old Grads a splendid exhibition of football. The running of Wells and Spangler and the strength on the line showed great improvement. A recovered fumble enabled Mt. St. Marys to claim one of the three touchdowns made in the game. Slnlucftp feeben The jinx was up. With fans guessing everywhere as to the favorite, Gettysburg and Dickinson went on the island at Harrisburg, each determined to win the lucky seventh. Six times the Wood machine had conquered the Indians. Who would get the breaks? The first half they were even and Gettysburg claimed the belter of a 12-7 score. But the second half saw the battlefield nine weakening and the Red and White men strengthening. In a game credible to both institutions and a skir- mish which heaped laurels upon every player on the field, the fates decreed a 20-12 victory for Dickinson. The work of Ray Singley and “Hunkic” Doran seemed brighter than that of their mates, yet to mention any individual is unfair to the laudable work of the entire team. Sisona Bite In a game which heaped all the credit upon the vanquished, Gettysburg lost to Buckneli before a small crowd on the Altoona field by a 22-6 score. The game was a clean victory for the Bullets in every respect except the score. The true character of “Bill” Wood’s football was revealed in this clean, hard-fought, yet unbalanced game. The Bisons won by breaks; the Bullets won by sportsmanship. Were the real story of this game to be told the score would be reversed. t. 3obn’o Defeated (Father and Son Day) In this, the last battle on historic Nixon Field, the fans and players experienced everything except football weather. Mid snow and rain. Dads and Sons stood on TOMUti ALL Till: PORDWARO-CAXS ATTACK AGAINST I'CNN KTATK ihc bleachers watching the Wildcats and Cadets wallow through the mud on a soggy field. Soaked and smeared the players rushed the slippery hall up ami down the field only to lose on passes and fumbles. The game was all Gettysburg's. “Snaps scored the only touchdown of the game. a 0reat tlriumpb (Thanksgiving Day) Before a record crowd and in a game filled with thrills and suspense the Orange and Blue gridders covered themselves with glory by overshading th season with a victory unequaled in years. It was the first time in eight years that the Statesmen’s goal line was crossed in the Turkey Day game. The 27-7 score is a testimony of the splendid work Capt. Emanuel’s proteges did. It was Gettysburg’s game through- out. From the time that Hunkir Doran ran twenty yards for the first touchdown to the final whistle every wearer of the Orange and Blue outplayed his opponent. It was the last college game for Capt. Emanuel. “Parke” Decker. Ick Slaughter, “Hunkic” Doran ami “Charlie” Beuchom. These players could carry with them no belter trophy than this historic victory, for to them belong many of the laurels. • llrraiwr of IIh- Inability or I bo Mlllor to oblate a photocrar .

Team-work seemed to be the motto of the season. Then again, with the exception of Tuckey, it must be remembered that an entire veteran team was on the court. The work of Captain Peduzzi at the forward position was quite interesting. He seemed to be able to come forth at the critical moments with the necessary points. At all angles of the floor he could locate the circle and part the net. His running mate, Tuckey. proved a real find for a first year man. To him goes the credit for be- ing the fastest floor man seen here in years. At the center position, the newly-elected Captain Gerhart apparently out- shadowed every opponent he met. Not only did he out-pivot them but he also out- tallied them on the score sheet. As steady and consistent guards. Bream and Bar- bour came in for their share of credit in every victory. Bream seldom played a game without adding a few points to the final score. A splendid shot and a close guard made him a valuable asset to the team. In several games he was ably assisted by Spangler, mother plebe of promise. Barbour, the senior guard, proved a stal- wart back-guard and deserves commendation for his splendid services.

PIIII.I.IPPY Itutlnru Manajpr C. K. KA8E Rdilor Clje Spectrum Since 1891 Gettysburg College lias had an Annual depicting various phases of college life in pictures. The purpose has been primarily to transfer the atmosphere of the campus on to the printed sheet. This has been the object of class after class and each has been successful to a greater or lesser extent. The 1926 Spectrum presents itself with a full knowledge that doubtless there have been mistakes made, but at least not wilfully. It has been the purpose of the staff to give expression to every side of college life, and to do this in proportion to its corresponding importance on the campus. Within its covers should be found a complete record of the college in its various fields of endeavor. However, nothing was spared to make the book, as far as possible, a work of art. It is with the hope that the 1926 Spectrum truly reflects the atmosphere of Alma Mater that it is placed in your hands. Editor's Note—Due to a typographical error the 1925 Spectrum was erroneous- ly called Volume 35, when it should have been Volume 34s following the previous year’s class book. In order to correct this mistake for the future, the 1926 SPECTRUM has also been called Volume 35. iikiQli I- l HIIJ.IPtT •1� « Misirrr ng various phase of refer the atmosphere i of class after class ubtless there rpose of the roportion to be found a ver. nothing the atmosphere o M was erroneous- in?

Monteros Circulation Manager—A. S. Peelinc, 25 Asst. Advertising Manager—A. S. Sire Since 1897 “The Geltysburgian” has been the official news publication of Gettys- burg College. It is a student publication carried on under faculty supervision. The purpose of the paper is to serve the student body, alumni, faculty, and friends of the institution as well as to broadcast the name of Gettysburg College by featur- ing the important events associated with campus life in the columns of the paper. It also serves as a common bond between alumni and Alma Mater. During the past few years the paper has developed considerably. In the last administration it was found possible to enlarge the size of the sheet. This was a very popular move, since it is now possible to incorporate weekly all the important events of the college, giving adequate space to each item. The larger sheet adds dignity and prestige to the paper. The constitution which governs the administration of the paper was recently revised in order that the enlarged issue could be more capably managed. Since that revision the staff has functioned as a unit, making it possible to give an excellent product to the readers of the paper. At the present time the paper enjoys an excellent financial basis. The last ad- ministration retired from office leaving a neat balance on the books with all bills paid. Much credit must be given to the circulation and advertising departments for the achievement of this status. The circulation of the paper has been increased until it is now well over the twelve hundred mark. The Geltysburgian” is a member of the Intercollegiate Newspaper Association of the Middle Atlantic States. The paper is considered to be one of the best in the organization. The Editor of “The Geltysburgian” is now President of the Associa- tion. r'4’ II. A. E0RI.RI8 Ks'ltwu Jluipi Willumson. J«u 'is '26: D. E. Brcvaku. '26: , A. Nixwar. -27: E. H. covout, I? •.c:er—S.

For four consecutive years the students of the college have enjoyed watching the development of this growing vesicle. That it has not hurst nor turned into an irritating sore is due to the splendid attention it lias received at the hands of its attendants. Coming from the skilful hands of Happy Linn in November of 1921, it has since been nursed by competent and commendable literary physicians. In college publications it is a novelty. There is hut one single copy per day. and it drains juice from and for the entire student body. Each morning this literary prescription appears in its designated plac� - on the bulletin board in Glatfelter Hall. Those directly responsible for its treatment are held in secret until the end of their administration. The purpose of this is to pre- vent a revolution in the realms of established authorities, which otherwise might result from the daring exposures. The contents of the prescription, as it appears from day to day. arc of a varied but literary nature. For those whose taste is in the line of current collegiate activities, an editorial is offered. It is cither a constructive criticism of some existing condition or a commendable treatment of a worthy achievement. Tliere always appears a selection of poetry to supplement the editorial and soothe the pain, should there be any. To relieve the mind of the troubled patient, there is a column of wit and humor. For the wise there is a bit of sophistry and a report of the weather bureau. Then to add something of interest to all. there appears a column of news, including all prominent developments in the laboratory.

A new con- stitution and set of by-laws was drawn up for the reorganization. Since the establishment of the new organization debating has progressed on the campus in a very noticeable way. Tlie Debating Council has sponsored many new and progressive forensic innovations. Each year the organization holds a banquet at which time the manager and officers for the ensuing year arc elected. This year the Council, in line with I lie suggestion of the debating coach. Dr. Thomas 1- Ginc, put on the floor a Junior Varsity Squad. The manager also established a precedent by arranging a home schedule, a western trip, and a junior varsity schedule. All students who have participated in any of the inter-class debate� , the inter-collegiate de- bates. or placed in the oratorical contest arc eligible to membership. H ith the Debating Council as a working influence it is the hope of the forensic followers to acquire such record on the rostrum as will place Gettysburg in a class by herself in public speak- ing and oratory.

IIeiny 223 ©Western debating Crip The prominent place which debating and oratory is assuming in collegiate ac- tivities is attested to by the extensive programs being carried out. Each year many colleges and universities are sending representative debating teams on long trips opening relations on foreign rostrums. This year the efforts of the Coach and the Manager were rewarded by a trip unprecedented in the history of the college. The team, composed of C. Robert Kasc. '26. Arthur M. Felker. '25. and Millard E. Cladfeltcr. '25, accompanied by their coach. Dr. Thomas L. Cline, made a trip covering a period of two weeks. Begin- ning on March 2nd they started westward and kept mounting the rostrums of the various schools until they had crossed six states and debated with ten different col- leges. The trip was made possible by the consistent efforts of the Coach and Manager and the support and interest of the President of the college and the Board of Trus- tees. From every angle it proved a remarkable success and bids much promise to be an annual occurence. Tire schedule included ten debates. All of these were upon the question, “Re- solved, That Congress should have the power to declare effective by a two-third vote laws pronounced unconstitutional by the Supreme Court,” with the exception of the first debate on the trip, with Capitol University at Columbus. Ohio. Here the team debated the St. Lawrence Waterway question, losing the decision by a 2-1 vote. Two of the debates were Open Forums with Earlham College at Richmond, Jnd., and Luther College at Decorah, Iowa, on March 4th and 9th, respectively. In both of these debates the affirmative side won. The novel plan of single expert judging was used in two debates. These were with Greenville College at Greenville. HI- and Pue,,i' Vista College at Storm Lake. Iowa, on March 5th and 11th. In these contests the team lost one and won one. In the old style debates the team won two and lost three. The defeats were given by Carthage College, at Carthage, III., on March 6th, Augustana College at ’ 0,1 March 7,h- a� d Midland College at Fremont. Neb., on March j� victories were over Simpson College at Indianola. Iowa. March 10th, and larkio College at Tarkio. Mo., on March 12th. 3nter-€Iatf JDeUntcs Inter-class debates have reached a pinnacle of urcat interest in colleftc and Gettysburg is not without that enthusiasm. Each year the four classes vie with each other for honors and for the past three years the class of '26 has won the inter-class championship. This year, as was the case last, the Sophomores won their debate with the Freshmen and the Juniors defeated the Seniors. The winning teams then met in Brua Chapel for the final combat of words, actions, and honor. Tlie Sophomore debaters humbled the vcrliosity of the Froth in their till on November 12th. The question under consideration was: Resolved. That the United States government should both own and operate tire coal mines. The decision was 3-0 in favor of the Sophomores who upheld the negative side of the question. The Junior team defeated the Seniors on December 3rd. maintaining the negative side of: “Resolved, That scholarships in American Colleges and Universities should Ik- granted upon the clarcd unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. The decision here was 2-1 in favor of the Juniors. The final meeting for the class championship was held December 10th with the issue of: Resolved. That scholarship in American Colleges and Universities should be granted upon the basis of scholastic standing. The Junior team upholding the negative were given a 2-1 decision, thus winning the championship of the inter-class teams for live third consecutive year, an honor unprecedented at Gettysburg.

Smith Following the long established custom Gettysburg College witnessed an ora- torical contest in Brua Chapel, February 18th, to select the representative from the campus to the State contest at Franklin and Marshall. Now that the second season of active oratorical demonstration has passed the art of public speaking has found its niche at Gettysburg, and has come to stay. Last year the contest found adequate recognition. Reinartz, of the class of ’24, developed a very meritorious oration and with a poise and oratory of a veteran speaker, came to the fore, tuking the first place in the contest. But those others who competed were all first class speakers, and because of the interest manifested in the event, the college saw fit to continue the contest. This year found five contestants on the platform the evening of the contest. Creditable orations were delivered by each participant, further clinching the argu- ment that public speaking is an art and one that should be in every college. Each year finds an increased interest in public speaking, witnessed by the oratorical and debating enthusiasts, and this fact proves the wisdom of this institution at Gettysburg. iftlustc ant) ©ramattcs Director Leader Jerome C.

Curran WKNK FROM GOING SOUK' CDtul anb i igfjtingale -probiictions The Owl and Nightingale Club presents annually four plays, using a east from the membership of the club itself. These plays are produced under the capable direc- tion of Dr. Richard Arms. The first play to lie given this scholastic year was Rex. Beach's famous four- act farce, Going Some,” which was presented in chapel to a large audience on Alumni Day. The next play was The Show Shop. given before the Christmas holidays. This production, known as Douglas Fairbanks' greatest stage success, was unique in more ways than one. It pertained to the rehearsal of Max Rosenliaum's typical Rosen- baum production introducing a new Rosenbaum star. A play within a play, and during intermission the programs for Dora's Dilemma were distributed throughout the audience. Although an innovation at Gettysburg, it was received quite well. On January 24th. the club presented a medley of one-act plays in conjunction with its original play contest. The last production was The Fortune Hunter, pre- sented during April. Under the able leadership of Dr. Arms, the club has succeeded in keeping dra- matics on a high plane at Gettysburg, and prospects for the future arc exceedingly bright.

A. on the campus is so deep in it effects and so far reach- ing in its influence that it is almost impossible to group or name litem under separate headings. There are though, throughout the year, several outstanding activities which because of their in- fluence upon groups and their hold upon individual deserve particular mention. The foremost aim of the Y. M. C. A. is to lead every student into a deeper appreciation of the bigger and better life through a knowledge of an intimacy with Jesus Christ. With this noble aim in view the Secretary and Student Cabinet conduct throughout the year discussion groups and religious meeting . In addition to this the conference and convention offered by the State and National organizations are included as part of the Y program. Foremost among the student conferences is the Silver Bay conference. Last year '’Bill Wood and twenty campus leaders spent a week at this conference on the shore of Lake George in the beautiful hills of New York. Individual life difficulties and general student and cainpu problems were discussed. Daily Bible Discussion Croups supplemented by open forums and per- sonal interviews gave to each of the thousand representative delegates an opportunity to gather something which would help themselves and their campuses. This year Bruce Curry visited our campus and spent a week with us conducting a Bible study conference. At the conference were delegates from all the colleges in Central Pennsylvania. The value of this conference was manifested in the success and inspiration of the campus discussion groups conducted in March under the direction of Professor Jackson. “Bill'' Wood, and E. R. Baublitz. At these groups personal and campus problems were discussed and solutions agreed upon which would lead all to the better and bigger life. In addition to these gatherings the local organization send representative and delegations to the Iaitheran Students’ Conference, held this year at Penn State, the Student Volunteer Con- ference, held at Bueknell, and the State Officer� ' Training Conference, held at I-afryette. The Week of Prayer is one of the big activities of the “Y“. This year after reluming from Christmas vacation each evening for a week a large gathering of student assembled in chapel to listen to the inspiring and enlightening talks of Rev. W. II. Traub, of Christ Lutheran Church. York. Pa. This distinctive feature in our religious college life is a great power in leading the student to a clear relationship with Cod. Besides its local work the “Y” deputation team is continually doing work in the conference church and nearby mission schools. The Secretary makes regular visit� to the religious organiza- tion on neighboring campuses and exchanges helps and idea with fellow students and leaders. Tlie “Y” has been conducting live College Lyceum Course for the past few years. This year there was an unusual course offered and the management accomplishes! an unusual feat in the financial management. The “Y” drive, too. was the greatest in the history of the college. The fifteen hundred dollar goal was more than realized and the desk card showed the contribution to come from the greater majority of students. In view of the support and encouragement given live “Y and our Secretary. “Bill Wood, we feel that this erganization will continue to be a vital factor in bringing student� into a new understanding of and a closer rclatioiwhip to Cod. American Association of Engineers Ned M. Fluiikc Ceokce E. Smeltz President Secretary-Treasurer Tlie American Association of Engineers is the only technical organization on the campus. Within the past two years unusual activity has made it one of the foremost professional groups. In its efforts to alliance the work and study of engineering, the organization meets each month and in addition to its regular meetings sponsors several social functions featuring distinctive sports. At lire regular meeting reports on technical engineering subjects arc submitted by the mem- bers. In addition to this men prominent in the profession arc brought to the campus to address tlie organization. As a local interest the organization is putting forth an effort to advance engineering educa- tion on tlte curriculum. The growth and expansion of this department has been largely a result of the combined efforts and interests of the undergraduate engineers. The group also, at designated times throughout the year, visits industrial plants in the larger commercial cities. This work is done in the company of an instructor who makes a special study of such departments of the plant as arc of special interest to tlie student. The national convention of the American Association of Engineers will be held in Orlando. Florida, this June. The local organization will, as a manifestation of their interest in the pro- fession. send delegates to this gathering. The national organization has thirty-nine student chap- ters.

In place of the evening services of former years, at five o’clock in the afternoon an alumni sermon was de- livered from the portico of Pennsylvania Hall by tire Rev. Miles H. Krumbinc, of Dayton, Ohio. On Monday afternoon the vast crowd of visitor witnessed the baseball game between Gettys- burg and Mt. St. Marys. That evening the Old Crads were entertained at Brua Chapel where tile play, Wedding Bells, was presented by the caste of Seven Keys to Baldpatc, the oopular presentation of the Class of 1926. The play took the place of the annual Glee Club Concert. Following this the alumni reunions were held at the various fraternity houses with informal house dance as the features of the evening. On Tuesday fourteen different classes held reunions. The class day exercises followed at ten o’clock, nnd class dinners at noon. In the afternoon there was a meeting of the Alumni Associa- tion in Brua Chapel, and at three o’clock the Senior Tap Day exercises, an innovation at Gettys- burg. The game between the College Varsity and the Alumni nines, featuring Eddie” Plank, was played on Nixon Field. Then followed the various fraternity banquets. At eight o'clock in the evening the President tendered his annual reception to the graduating class, alumni and friends. This was held in the new Y. M. C. A. building. Dean Bikle and Dr. E. S. Bricdcnbaugh, the former Professor of Ijitin for the past fifty years and the latter Professor of Chemistry for the same length of time, were the guests of honor at the reception and at the same time were made Professors Emeritus of Latin and Chemistry, respectively. The several house parties by the Greeks” brought the festivities of the day to a close. Early on Wednesday morning. June 11, 1924, the Academic Procession advanced from Glad- fclter Hall to Brua Chapel where the graduating exercise for the class of nineteen hundred twenty-four were held. The Honorable J. B. Wickersham. of Harrisburg, delivered the Commence- ment address. Following this the degrees were conferred upon the graduating class by President H. W. A. Hanson and the announcement of the prizes and honors awarded. The Commencement was brought to a fitting close at noon with the Alumni Collation in the Gettysburg Academy building. Coronation A a filling climax of file President reception held in the Y. M. C. A. during Commence- ment Week, 1924. Dr� .

It was all due to the tremendous effort put forth by Kappa Phi Kappa, the honorary educational fraternity, which not only initiated the movement but was entirely instrumental in its staging. November the fifteenth found the campus invaded by over three hundred fathers. The morn- ing was spent in visiting classes and generally getting better acquainted. Following luncheon a tour of the battlefield was. made. In the afternoon, due to the most inclement weather conditions, the fathers were forced to stand in several inches of slush and mud in order to view the football game with St. John's Military College. However, they were treated with a victory by the second- string men under Capt. Emanuel. But the big event of the day did not coinc until five-thirty, when the fathers and sons packed the dining room of tltc Eagle Hotel for the long-to-lie-remcmbercd banquet. Music wns furnished by an orchestra while they were being treated to tltc famous Adams County spring chicken. Be- tween the courses old fashioned songs were sung with fine spirit in order to liven things up and create the real atmosphere. The main pan of the program consisted of speeches by Dr. Stanley, who also acted as toast- master, Dr. Sanders, M. E. Gladfcltcr, Dr. Hanson, and Bev. George Nicely. At this time the two oldest professors of the college, Drs. Breidenbaugh and Biklc who liave served fifty-one years on the college faculty, were introduced and received a tremendous ovation. After singing the Alma Mater the fathers and sons adjourned to the various fraternity houses where smokers were held. Thus came to an end an event thnt will go down in history as the inauguration of another of Gettysburg’s cherished traditions. Owing to tbo success of Fathers' Day, Kappa I’lii Kappa has mndc arrangements for the hold- ing of a Mothers’ Day some time in May. JfootliaU banquet The entire 1924 football squad, including the varsity and all the scrubs, banqueted at the Eagle Hotel on Tuesday evening, January 13. 1925. The principle speakers of the evening were Toastmaster Dr. Hanson, Coach “Bill Wood, “Snaps Emanuel. Dr. Arms, Doyle, Leathers, and Captain-elect Singly. Bay Singly, who acquitted himself very creditably at left end for the past three years, was elected captain of tltc 1925 eleven. Gold footballs were presented to the following seniors who played their last game for G-Burg on Thanksgiving Day: Emanuel, Doran, Slaughter. Benchcm. Decker and Sheets. Carlton Bauder was elected manager for next year. Kirk Moyer, assistant, and “Art Sipe, freshman manager. Letters were awarded to the following men for their work during the past season: Emanuel, Doran. Slaughter. Benchem. Decker. Jones. Mensclt, Singlcy, Stevens, Stauf- fer, Wells, Tomlin, Spangler, Hall and Williams. 0ettj sl)urgian banquet The 1924-25 staff of “Tltc Geitysburgian terminated the greatest year of that paper's ex- istence at a sumptuous chicken and waffle banquet at the Eagle Hotel on Wednesday night, February 25. 1925. Frank H. Shimer, the retiring editor, acted as toastmaster. The speakers in the order of the toasts were: A. G. Borlcis, retiring business manager; Dr. B. S. Saby, Dr. F. H. Kramer, Presi- dent H. W. A. Hanson, and George W. Armold. newly elected Edilor-inChicf of The Gettys- burgian.” Bcminisccnccs and future prospects were the topics touched upon during the speeches. Plans for the betterment of the college through the medium of The Geitysburgian were consid- ered and will likely be policies of the paper for the coming year.

This year no attempt was made to pledge the ice man. The Sig's have lately augmented their palatial home by the addition of a fire escape. This was deemed necessary since the brothers can not be broken of the habit of throwing their cigarette butts on the floor. ■Motto: Notv watch our dust, ladies. Recently the Druids, now distinguished with tlte long and im- pressive name of Phi Sigma Kappa, acquired a palatial mud struc- ture of approximately two and a half stories more or less. It was especially situated across from Dr. Huber's residence to aid the presklent of the house to maintain law and order. The hut is uniquely arranged with passageways from one room to tl c other and exceptionally well planned with a view of giving good light and lots of fresh air to the students. In order that all of the brothers might feel more at home they sleep under the eaves and dine in the cellar. Theta Kappa Nu Motto: A broad program of expansion. Theta Kappa Nu represents a nation-wide movement, the object of which is to exceed all other fraternities in expansion in tlte current year. Indications arc that this will be accom- plished. It was established on tlte local campus during the past term for the purpose of showing what a new national frater- nity can accomplish single-handed. Their aim is to make tlte Inter-Fraternity Council by the year 2000. Theta Thi Molio: (Not definitely determined upon at yet, but probably Go notional or bust ) The annex to the Phi Psi house serves as headquarters for the Theta Phi's. Because of the proximity of this building to the new athletic field, rumor has it that the aforesaid annex will be used as a dressing room for visiting teams with the various brothers in attendance as cham- bermaids, rub-down men. trainers, etc. At present they are contemplat- ing spending tl c next half century in petitioning some national fraternity. Hollo: l:aint heart ne'er toon fair lady. This organization is made up of a band of moonlight sliicks and soda fountain cowboys whose activities arc confined almost exclusively to the environs of the local village and battlefield. Their popular love song is entitled, Carry me back to that tumble-down stuck, probably referring to their present chap- ter house.

The few chaperones remaining conscious endeavoring to bring back to life, by means of the fire hose, the somnolent inebriates. One girl, beautiful as the view from a back window of Glatfclter, and slim as the chances of an eight ounce bottle of alcohol on the shelves of Cherny Lab, necking the hiccoughing prof, of agriculture. Four thirty! Last dance! Everyone capable of standing, dancing. Youthful voices raised in chorus: Oh our Alma Mater stands upon the hills. And it overlooks the houses of the town. Oh our Alma Mater stands upon the hills, by gosh, And we’re going to burn the dam’ thing down. Thus ended the greatest Prom in the history of the college. ♦Ed. note to anxious parents: This account was written two months before the Prom, by one who did not attend, and may consequently be slightly inaccurate.

Write Us Before Placing Your Next Order Grit Publishing Co. Williamsport, Pa. The Spectrum Staff (Continued) because of lack of space in the preceding pages we have not had room to fvc due credit to ex-ofticio members of the staff who have been an integral part in making this book what it is. Ex-Officio Memders 'I he goof who comes around two months after the Junior and Senior panels arc closed and wants to get his picture in. The boobs who think that when we ask for copy on a certain date it means some time in 1986. The guy who crabs because the stuff in the mud section isn’t red-hot and then gets sore if he happens to get it in the neck. The gang who would raise the deuce if their pictures were not in the book and who set up an awful howl when the staff asks them to take enough time-out to get their pictures taken. The fellow who won’t buy a book, refuses to co-operate to make it the kind of a book he wants, and then starts knocking just as soon as it is out. The little bug who thinks the book is punk because his picture isn’t in five or six times or because he didn’t get a whole page to himself. The ’irrcsponsiblcs whose promises to buy books aren’t worth the time it takes to write them. The guy who thinks the Spectrum is a big graft and the staff a bunch of thugs trying to fleece the student body. The critic who downs the book because it contains something new. The dumbbells who think the Spectrum notices on the bulletin board and announcements in Chapel don’t mean anything. With such an able lot of assistants, editing the Spectrum is truly a pleasure. Editor's Note—But frankly, things haven’t been so bad after all. To offset the above we have the cheerful assistance of the members of the staff and the hearty co-operation of the student body and faculty. We may say that the past year has been one of the most pleasant associations as well as of hard work. We feel that it has been worth while. O ugly maid with eyes of green, And breath which scoffs at Listerine, Despite the fact your teeth arc black, And did you nod your neck would crack, We love your polka dotted face. For serves it well to fill this space. 1926 Spectrum Photographer Gilbert Bacon PHILADELPHIA, PENNA. 270
