The juniors feel that they are deeply indebted to the many contributors to the endowment fund who made possible full recognition of their credits. We are quite sure that all the college is aware of our existence. Even in chapel, the pep and enthusiasm of our class has been apparent. For three years we have been steadily climbing up the path of wisdom hunting blue vases and discovering acres of diamonds until we feel it our duty to make room for the oncoming classes. For their assistance and edification we are leaving our last will and testament as our final contribution and trust I that they profit thereby. li Q JUNIOR JABS Q ' Our idea of a considerate professor is one who talks you to sleep, then wakes you up five minutes early so you vvon't be late for your next class.

MERILE SELF We, the verdant freshmen of 1926, feel that we are one of the best looking groups of young men and women that ever entered the institution of Graceland College. Along with this we wish to say that our talents, so to speak, do not all run to looks, as we have been blessed with wonderful brain power. VVe are renowned for our studiousness and good recitations, but the sad part of this particular thing is that our p teachers do not see things the same as we do, at least that is what our grade cards seem to indicate. We launched forth as all Freshman classes do and had a Kid Party but our Kid Partyl' was not just an ordinary one, but as is typical of us we did things up brown, the same as we do everything we undertake. We do not wish to seem egotistical, but we do feel that there are various people on the campus who are unaware of the potential powers which some of us possess, and we only take this V means by which we inform you-of such.

There is little distinction made between college and academy students outside of class and thus the academy students have many advantages which they could not have in a high school, besides being enabled to make the adjust- ment betwen high school and college much more easily. The class of work being done in the academy this year has been demonstrated in a public way by the participation in the literary contests. Although the group is rather A small, the contests have been of an unusually high standard and have made the college ll students hustle to keep their contests up to the standards set by the academy students. l 4 A The Academy Declamatory Contest was exceptionally fine this year. 9 i w Our academy is filling a definite need in the educational program of our church and A we hope that it may continue to flourish and enroll the high class of students that it has in the past. ,l..

Nevertheless the students enrolled in the 1 7 course feels that it fills a very important place in the college. The teachers in this department have been particularly helpful in their presentation of the work. This course offers an opportunity to young men and women to prepare themselves for effici- ent and intelligent work in the church and appeals to people throughout the world for this reason, thus tending to make Graceland an international college. We should all lend our efforts to building this department up so that it may come to be of greater service to the church in fulfilling its program. gt 11-1 A l Q OVERHEARD IN OLD TESTAMENT HISTORY CLASS Q Mr. Cheville-How did Jonah feel when swallowed by the whale?

GUNSOLLEY Librarian . . . . . . . . . . GEORGE GATES The Lamoni-Graceland Oratorio Society was Organized three years ago under the direction and leadership of Miss Carlile. Its purpose was to combine the functions of the college glee club and the church choir, thereby making a closer link between the college and community music circles and making possible the annual rendition of Mendelssohn's 'fElijah. The combination has been a wonderful success and has given Lamoni the distinction of having the largest church choir in Iowa. The Oratorio Society furnishes the usual Sunday morning anthem and provides a short concert on the evening of the first Sunday of each month. Outside of these regular appearances the society renders two special 'programs during the year. The first of these is a secular program given as a number of the Lyceum Course. Thesecond is the annual performance of the Elijah This year the visiting soloists are Mr. Charles Rousseau of Drake University who will sing the Elijah r6le and Mr. George Anway of Independence, Missouri, who will sing the tenor role. Miss Doris Gieselman and Mrs. Frances Norris of Lamoni, Iowa, will carry the soprano and alto again this year. At various times during the year, groups from the Organization have visited other branches in the state stimulating interest in music and getting acquainted with the musical talent in the church. The Oratorio Society is one of the factors which makes Lamoni unique. It is hoped that this movement will continue to grow and develop under the inspiration and direction of Miss Carlile whose vision and initiative made it possible. f- 'A Q 414. 7' tvwt PLL -.

H. ANTHONY, Dirertor President ......... E. DEWEY VVHITE I Secretary-Treasurer ....... FAE EMMERSON, Each year the orchestral interests of Graceland and Lamoni show a growth of amazing and Q permanent character. The year 1925-26 is the apex of its growth, but its goal-the symphony- V lies on a definite road just ahead. During this year a definite step forward was taken when the organization voted to accept two , classes of members-artist and associate-the artist members to be only those who have passed ' an entrance test and who in the opinion of the director will help to bring the standard of the organization to a higher plane. Associate membership includes the members of the various society orchestras of the college, members of the local high school orchestras, also any player of an orchestral instrument in the college or town. These organizations are being maintained to develop the younger and more inexperienced players and prepare them for a higher grade of work so they may eventually be received as artist members. 4 The society has had an extremely active and prosperous year. Besides their regular duty of furnishing music for the Sunday School and giving occasional concerts preceding the church services, the orchestra has given one Lyceum number which proved very successful, featuring such numbers as the Orpheus Overture by Offenbach, i'Norwegian Dancel' by Grieg, HThe Mill by Jensen, Selection from 'tCarmen by Bizet, etc. They have assisted the College Players in all I their plays where their efforts have been appreciated by all in attendance. Under the inspiration and competent leadership of Mr. Anthony, Lamoni and Gracel. ar 'il entering a new era in orchestral perfection. Mr. Anthony or Papa Anthony as he is ll is 5 not only a most competent and thorough director, but he is the pal of every memb r at e M ' ' wtitfliialie stand behind him as one to help him accomplish his highest ideals. -7 1926 ACACIA f , ' H al aj Q i e fe ll W l Zyl' l 4 l 0 9 Dokis GXESELMAN Jessie MAE NORRIS STUDIO DEPARTNIENT - Dokis GIESELMAN ...... .

It meets the three-year Iowa state requirement for graduation. The course includes lessons in Harmony, Sight Singing, Ear Training, History of 4 ii Music, Harmonic Analysis, Public School Music Methods, Conducting, Orchestra- tion, Appreciation, Piano, Voice,' and Chorus work. This offers a very thorough V preparation for teachers of music. If there is any one phase which has been neglected in the public schools it is the field of music. There is a demand for teachers who understand the technique and who have a real goal in bringing to children a growing appreciation for it. To a person of musical talent with a fund of originality and enthusiasm, there can 4 be no field more fascinating. The demand for such teachers is growing and Grace- ii land's music department is developing with it.

GILBERT Graceland is indeed fortunate in having such an able coach in athletics as A. R. Gilbert. HVVillie has his hands full throughout the year for no sooner does he com- plete a season in football than his work for a basketball team begins. He is also a capable track coach. Incidentally he is a tennis shark and is doing his best to produce winners in all four helds of athletics. While at first glance one might not get the impression that this football season was a whirlwind of a success, yet it has been a decidedly successful season. The ever-tying spell that has hung over Graceland and Chillicothe for the last four years was broken this year when Chillicothe bowed to a 7-O defeat. This was a double victory for Graceland for Chillicothe won the hlissouri Valley championship. VVillie,' is to be commended for his work as a coach for he has the problem of smaller colleges of building up a new team practically every year rather than enjoying some of the fruits of his labors of the previous years as is possible in four-year institu- tions. However it is in this set-back that 'fNVillie proves his worth and this coupled with his motto, VVe'll beat them with good clean fundamental football or we won't try to play at all,', has never failed to produce a scrappy team that has won a reputa- tion for clean playing as well as good playing. 4 . , , 4, V 9 gig' 1926 ACACIA JACK GARDNER, BUSINESS MANAGER Usually we think of athletics in terms of the coach and the contestants but there is another factor which enters into the success or failure of the sports. There is a lot more to a football game than the actual contest and that includes the pre-arrangements and the after- arrangements of each contest whether it be football, basketball, track, tennis, baseball, or any other sport. These business affairs must be handled efliciently in order to make college athletics an all-round success. Thus we owe much of the success of the year to Jack Gardner and his corps of men, Byron Jennings, Robert Jones, and Earl Page, who have worked so hard in their own way for the honor of the Old Gold and Blue.

What the squad thought of him was shown by his reelection to captaincy for the ensuing year. It wasn't Beezer's size that distinguished him. There was something else. He only weighed 164 pounds, but it was 164 pounds of kinetic en- ergy and there wasn't a game but what every ounce of it was let loose. When Beezer's helmet went Hying to the sidelines it boded ill for Graceland's opponents for they just couldnyt keep him out of the play around his end. He has the distinction of having won Honorable Mention. With such a record we know he will lead his squad to victory next year.

He laid siege to the quarterback position and became indispensable. Although injured early in the season he played throughout every game of the entire season. He will be a wonderful asset to next year's team. Braby also comes from our local high school and earned a position on the varsity squad as half-back. 'lHarry', did most of our punting and was a good man on short end runs. This combination caused considerable worry to opponents when they heard our quarterback call, Harry-back.

Pete was a real fighter especially when the opponent unwit- tingly kidded him about his ability as a football player. In the Still game Pete re- ceived injuries which held him out of the rest of the season, but he'll be back to fight for Graceland next year. Wells comes to us from St. Joseph Junior College and Proved his ability to do jus- tice to either center or guard. During the season he played either position consistently and in spite of injuries to his ankle he played most of the last half of the season. Dutch graduates. Eva is a steady, consistent player and opponents learned to respect his ability to get down the field and nail the receiver of the punt or kick-off. On the line he was a bear-cat and defended his territory nobly after breaking through to nail the runner for a loss. It will take a good man to fill his place next year. Hurshman was one of the Eve letter men around which Coach Gilbert had to build a new squad this year. Hurshman was religious in his training and his strength never gave out on him. In his position as left-guard he was the strength of the short side and stabilized that side of the line throughout the season. He has two more years to play for Graceland and we know he will add to the strength of the team.

Regular gym classes have been organized in the college to fulfill this need. The class Work which includes calisthenics, clubs, Wands, fencing, tennis, track, folk dancing and games of all kinds is in charge of competent and efficient instructors. Although there have been no intercollegiate games for the past few years, the interest of the girls has been fostered by intramural games of volley ball, playground ball, basketball, tennis, and track. Besides giving the girls an opportunity for individual expression, this work serves to create a greater interest in athletics and an appreciation 4 I' 0 4 9 Mi of the benefits derived in the participation. in ,qi M Q0 ,l , M X, .

To this end it was decided to choose the girls for membership in the club by a vote of the women of the student body at the close of each school year.

The record of our team this fall assures us that they are going into this contest with their best energies. After the game of last Friday the Graceland supporters have begun to look forward with anticipation to the game with the Pella aggregation. Graceland has no ancient ri- val in football for this day, but she is meeting a team that she is anxious to defeat. Last year saw our first game with the Dutchmen and our weakened line-up Cthree regulars were out of the line and three others played with injuriesj made us barely able to hold them to a tie score. . This year Central's line-up is much stronger. Her team has tied Des Moines University 6-6, and defeated Ellsworth 17-6, and both of these are strong teams. She has a fast, shifty backHeld and a rugged line of Dutchmen. It means that the Old Gold and Blue must fight to the end. But Coach Gilbert has kept his men in good shape and fine spirits. Two lighting teams will meet each other in manly sport. The side lines will see the biggest aggregation of rooters of our at-home games. The morn- ing mass meeting and the parade will act as generators and feed- ers of enthusiasm. The band is planning to be out in uniform and ready with the college airs. The girls are preparing special stunts and displays for the time between halves. Some of the committee are thinking of a big jubilee and bonfire after the game.

THREE YEAR TIE BROKEN AT LAST GRACELAND WINS OVER CHTLLI- COTHE, 7-0, AND ENDS PERIOD or TIES 'fThe third time is the charm, but it wasn't. 'Graceland made four attempts before she finally triumphed over the Chillicothe Ducks. In the fall of '22 the two teams battled to a 6-6 tie at North Park. The games of '23 and '24 both resulted in scoreless ties. But this year-well, here are some of the high points of Friday,s game: Graceland received the kickoff on her own 25-yard line, and punted immediately. Chillicothe failed to gain and punted in re- turn. A backward pass to But- terworth caught the Ducks off their feet, and the stocky little halfback ran the ball down to the opponents' 15-yard line. With their backs against the wall Chillicothe held, and Graceland was forced to kick. The attempted place kick failed, the ball going to Chillicothe on their own 25-yard line. The re- mainder of the quarter was a punting duel, with the visitors having the advantage. Braby, with the wind at his back, punted 52 yards at the opening of the second quarter. The Ducks, using a shift forma- tion, began to gain yardage, but were penalized because a man failed to reach the line of scrim- mage before the ball was snapped. The ball changed hands on punts until Chillicothe lost the ball for tripping. But- terworth carried the ball through for 33 yards, a field goal was attempted, and again it failed: the half ended without a score. The last half opened with the Missourians kicking off to Grace- land's 25-yard line. The Saints gained steadily: they reached Chillicothe's 45-yard line, where they made a poor attempt to punt.

Through numerous activities of the club during the years, a friend- llfl ship has been perpetuated that will always be carried by each D U X.

The Club was organized last year with Merrill Champion, VVilliam Collins, Ellis VVhite- V head, Drew Dooms, Charles Scribner and Virgil Johnson as charter members. Three of these six did not return this year, so two new members, Fred Cheville and George Fender were taken in early last fall. In November, Edmund Kelley and Nelson Hovey were initiated into the club and a few weeks later, Jack Gardner was made a member, swelling the total to eight active members. Early in December, the club members were saddened by the death of Virgil Johnson. He was a pleasant, likeable fellow and a popular member of the club. His absence is keenly felt at all club functions. The club has had many enjoyable functions this year. A 'Tried Rabbit Dinner at ,V lvl the Lamoni Hotel and a Chop Suey Dinnern at Herald Hall were the outstanding events of the year. nn The purpose of the club is to provide social activities which will make happier and I better Graceland students.

As each ' new member arrived, he was initiated by the little cold water showers administered by the able hand of Tooze or Hub through the little hole so familiar to all Marietta men. Then upon going to bed some night he might be surprised to find no springs in his bed. We must not pass over the bed mate in the form of the little frog that I some of our members had some evenings. It is a mystery how so many beds get the i springs taken out of them and the floors get all covered with water. But when the ll if fun is over, we quiver and shake in our blankets when we hear the terrible voice Q of Willie at about twenty minutes till eleven, Pipe down, up there. Ed Kelley is certainly a favorite in Marietta in the early morning hours when he blows his P. T. whistle, judging by the way the fellows all flock over to the gym with him. lx Our volley ball team played some good games, although they did not always come l Q out with the large end of the score. The Marietta basket ball game was the crown- 4 V ing event of the season. The first floor was challenged by the second floor and the third floor took their choice of being on first for second floor. The second floor f came out with the larger end of the score and it was up to the first floor to give the treats. At nine o'cl0ck everyone gathered in the basement and made five gallons of ice cream disappear. Of course some of our notorious boys had to make mysterious visits to Patroness and Bide-A-Wee with some dishes well hidden from the watchful eyes of the sworn and solemn bachelors. ' 66 All of the men of the hall will have fond memories of the associations and friend- M ships they have made here this year, although a few will have brighter memories of fl? ll Patroness and Bide-A-Wee.

Will we ever forget that initiation last fall when the old members held their sides and wielded the stick while the new ones fished persistently through the garbage can for mere pennies. The one event which means the most to us as a club is the Annual Vaudeville. Did we study? Well, if we did we don't know when.. We know that no time was wasted within our halls during those three weeks. When the night came the Coliseum was packed to the box seats and the show went over with a bang. As a result we have added to our reception room a Hoor lamp, piano bench, table and rocker. The Bide-A-Wee Club holds meetings each week where the business of the club is transacted and the Pages' Report is read which contains all the interesting news of the week. Our presidents for this year have been Stella Brockway and Doris Nelson. Throughout all the year our Dean, Mrs. Gates, has-been most kind to us and ever solicitous for our welfare. Altogether we count this an enjoyable experience of dorm life and can wish for our successors nothing better than just such a year of fun and work at 'iStay A While . , PATRONESS When college opened Patroness Hall presented its usual cheery aspect to the girls who were returning, and it certainly kindled the fires of affection in the hearts of the new girls. In a short time all were settled comfortably in their rooms and were ready for initiation into the Patroness Club. The terrifying event Qwhich happened at a most unusual hourl was a great success from both the view point of the in- itiators and the ones who underwent the ordeal. The new girls bravely suffered and smiled while they endured all sorts of torture. Soon after school started the Patroness girls decided they wanted to get better acquainted with their neighbors, so the 'Bide-A-Wee girls were invited over for a party. One of the happiest times for the Patroness family was at Christmas when each little girl hnug her stocking, and found it generously filled. Such fun as each girl in turn emptied her stocking! The big social event for the last two years has been the Annual St. Patrick's Ban- quet. The banquet was unusual this year in that a secret was revealed which made all the girl's happy. The girls have been drawn closely together by the social activities, but the tie that binds is realized more fully when each Wednesday night they gather for a short prayer service before going to the chapel for the regular service. The activities of our hall have been under the leadership of our president, Edith Woods. Edith, with her remarkable understanding of the girls, has been an ideal 7 . fl fl fl ll 4 V li l 4 l i A leader. Tess, our Dean, with her many kindnesses and regard for the girls, is loved .gi and appreciated. This year has been-a happy one for all of us. At our house meet- ' ings there has been manifested splendid co-operation and good fellowship. VVe have - learned to live together harmoniously and to love and value' each other as true friends. - ,' A i '7' ' ' 54?

QQ T' -9- 4475 X 0 L59 1926 ACACIA HERALD HALL Herald Hall beganiits page of history this year when the old met the new arrivals in a get together on the day preceding the formal opening of college. These old men 'though in the minority, did their task Well of telling the tales and antics of former days, and coaching in the traditions of the Hall. The first Thursday of the school year brought the first function of the genuine Herald Angel type when all were to be found in the official garb attending a reception given by their dean. This event provided stunts and eats and the distinctive hall nicknames and colloquialisms. This paved the way for the later house organization which named George Mesley, President, Cocky Siegfried Vice-President, and Georgette Levsis Secretary. The next few weeks found committees busy and every spare moment devoted to practices and preparations for the staging of their musical comedy. The fulfillment of all this came at the opening of the Homecoming with the presenting of College Days in Zimmerman Hall. The costuming, comedy, rollicking songs, and formations set the stage for the game of the next day and marked one of the high points of the year. It was a happy group of fellows that co-operated under the untiring leadership of George Mesley, Roland Blair, Frankyn Weddle and Unk . The returns went toward the fund for furnishing the clubroom of the Hall. 'Occasionally some problem of discipline faced the dormitory' the dean or his assistant might sally forth occasionally in pursuit of the vociferous and the loquacious. More far-reaching misdemeanors such as failure to rise for the send-off of the football team, were treated with a dose of blanket tossing. Windy Higgins proved a favorite victim for this means of punish- ment. Another method was the all-house trial. The most famous case was that in which Walter james Trachsel was found guilty of depriving the other members of the hall of their rights and privileges through his having about fifteen girls on his list. Both these methods proved effective. Perhaps the latter brought the more obvious results, since Trax began to specialize almost immedia ely Space does not permit the full recording of the weeks that passed through the holidays and the opening of the second semester. With exams over it vsas time to enjoy another house meet- ing. In parliamentary fashion peculiar to the dorm the following were elected: Rosie Flowers, president, Alabam Sellers vice-president and San Fisher secretary. Windy Higgins was chosen and tried out as yell leader. The annual stag' party to all the men- of the college always marks a high place in the years events. The vaudeville featured all the traditional settings 'and numbers from the chorus girls and fairy dances to the silent drama. Grand opera was thrown in for cultures sake. The customary hot dogs and doughnuts refreshed the guests. Then there are the Sunday dinners with serxing in family style the chats and music around the Sunday papers, the mens chorus and orchestra that appeared at games and at the vesper services and all those expressions and greetings that no annual can really describe. Of course a dormitory vsould not be a dormitory without a dean. Unk Cheville is ad- mired and loved, without a doubt, by every man of the hall, and it is to his lead and hearty co-operation that much of the success of the dormitory life is due. Cousin John was the assistant this year, always on hand to give a lift here and a greeting there. , ff YY Y it H 41 Y vr , Y Y K5 YY If ,Y Y Y if YY ff 73 t . . ll ii Y fi ,Y fl yy 4 li Y, 7 ! .

The work of organizing a campaign to raise the money for Graceland's li endowment was placed in the charge of Mr. J. A. Gardner of Independence, Missouri. He came Q to Graceland and presented the problem to the students and faculty and each one loyally - pledged himself to help. The following group of Graceland people formed a committee to gather together material and to aid in promoting the drive: PRESIDENT BRIGGS LoNzo JONES N. RAY CARMICHAEL Roy A.

This proof that Graceland's problem was being solved by her former students and friends made us want to redouble our efforts to aid in helping the institution so dear to us. Several teams were sent out from the college to make speeches about Graceland during the special campaign from November 1 to 15. W6 The results of the campaign were even better than we had anticipated. According to re- ,M ports from the general church ol'l'ices early in April S289,450 had been pledged by 15,824 tsl, individual pledges. The great success of this campaign makes us realize how many friends A' no Graceland has over this land of ours, and we certainly appreciate their loyalty, and too, we recognize and appreciate the efforts of Mr. Gardner and President Briggs in planning and fvqf K1 carrying the campaign through.

Friday, Oct. 30: Great preparations are under Way for the Homecoming tomorrow. We even have lots of snow to celebrate with. The Herald Angels presented College Days in the gym and I laughed myself into a fit, but I came to in time to see the old students that came in on the 8 o'clock. It sure seems good to see them all. Saturday, Oct. 31: Everyone has been so busy today with breakfasts, society meetings, pep meetings, parades, and that awful muddy football game that we're all about in. Sunday, Nov. 1: Most of the girls stayed home and cleaned up everything for the house opening. Everything looked so nice I was proud I belonged to the dorm. Thursday, Nov. 5: This week has been pretty tame after last, but the weather has furnished plenty of excitement. Anyway the other half of the intersociety games were played and those Kapplgirls came out ahead again, and the Pi boys. Friday, Nov. 6: You ought to hear those girls groan that played baseball yesterday. Even Judy says she feels stiff and thatls saying something. Flossie told me all about Vivian McElroy's and Tuck Johnson's wedding. Wednesday, Nov. 11: Our boys played Penn today and lost 6-4. Too bad! Good reports are coming in from our Endowment workers. Thursday, Nov. 12: There was a Lambda Delta Sigma meeting and Mr. Mortimore talked on geology. I don't care for those high-brow affairs, myself. Friday, Nov. 13: The Allover Six Club had a feast at Herald Hall. I tried to get some of the duck but it was eaten in a hurry, I guess. Tuesday, Nov. 17: This week the students are 'having their pictures taken for the ACACIA. Some of them are awfully funny looking. Miss Norris had her hair bobbed. Hurray! Friday, Nov. 20: The students learned how to eat in chapel today. No such foolishness for me. I'm pretty efficient in my own way. The K. girls have three new members, I'm told, Fae, Ada, and Gertrude Lane. Wednesday, Nov. 25: Today school is out for Thanksgiving vacation. I guess I'll take one, too, though I hate to miss what the ones who stay will do. Sunday, Nov. 29: Here I am back again and my old corner sure looks inviting. Guess I'll turn in. Monday, Nov. 30: They had lots of things while I was gone, a vacation frolic in the gym, and a lecturer at the church. Flossie said everyone laughed a lot, but she couldn't see much to it. They had chicken at the commissary Thanksgiving and to think I missed it. I Tuesday, Dec. 1: Tonight there was an illus- trated lecturer at the Coliseum. She intro- duced Pal to us and that seems to be con- nected with Tess S0mCW3y'. I nearly went to sleep till she mentioned cats. That woman sure hates cats, guess I'd better stay out of her way. Friday, Dec. 4: Conny is going away Sunday so the O. O. H.'s had a party for her. The Freshmen were sure kiddish at their party. I got disgusted and came home early. 19 Q. ,,,,,.A,, to , 1, , Y .-, '47 - x Y- pi. T if 'glib' .-,,., - 5 .ww v 7 from the men's -........fj.......,.7.,..YY W... ,Ysw.,......,.,,,...,Y.--Ya . W.

V Friday, Dec. 11: The College Players put on their first play at the Coliseum. It was some- thing about a lot of keys and looked like an awful mess to me, but everyone seemed to enjoy it. Wednesday, Dec. 16: We had a Christmas Ves- per Service tonight and I came home feeling so happy and Christmasy that I almost lost a life trying to express myself. I guess I'm just not understood. Thursday, Dec. 17: A Mr. Koch sang at the church tonight. Flossie said Miss Carlile thought he was the best we ever had here. Friday, Dec. 18: The Community Pictures are shown at the Coliseum now and I waited around an hour to get in, as nobody told me that they are at 7:30. Anyway the show Broken Laws was worth waiting for. I'd have used a slipper on that kid, and one on his dad, too. Saturday, Dec. 19: The girls debated tonight about pitying their grand-children. I didn't go, but I suppose it is a vital question to those who have grandchildren. Tuesday, Dec. 22: I tried to get in on the Lambda Delta Sigma Christmas dinner, but someone gave me a dirty look and I cut for home. They had chicken, too. Wednesday, Dec. 23: Hooray! Vacation! Nuff sed till Jan. 5. Tuesday, Jan. 5: Everyone, that is all but the SW, are back and ready for school. New Year's Resolutions seem to be in style, but I don't suppose they'll last long. Cochran. Graceland is living up to her reputation. Saturday, Jan. 9: I went to the finals of the women's debate and found it was still on the grandchildren question, but I stayed it and learned quite a lot. The Niketes the banner. Sunday, jan. 10: There was a reception our new Spanish teacher, Miss Carrott. wonder if she likes cats. Ollt got for I Monday, Jan. 11: The Pi's won the Record contest today.

They are so closely bound together that they seem almost a part of each other. It was the town that made the College possible and because of her loyalty and devotion to the cause of education, Graceland safely passed through the hardships of her early years and has come to occupy a well-established position among the schools of the land. Lamoni boasts 1,700 inhabitants and is a very prosperous and progressive town. Her schools are the best and she has a system of parks at the present time of which she may be justly proud. On the north where the race track and ball ground have been for many years, is a well equipped athletic park where men and women play golf, tennis, baseball, and foot- ball. Central Park, west of the depot, is a beautiful pleasure park with good shade and playground equipment. It is a real community center during the warm portion of the year. A fine stucco band stand occupies a prominent place and it is equipped with a movie screen so that during the summer months the Community Pictures may be shown here. In the east part of town we find the pleasant little auto camp. Brick ovens, tables, and fine large shade trees tempt the weary tourist to stop and camp for the night. In this chain of parks is a permanently arranged reunion ground south of town. This park, known as South Woods, has been cleared and laid off in streets and lots and is the scene of the annual summer reunion of the Latter Day Saints of the Lamoni Stake, and also many school and college picnics and parties. Lamoni supports a community lyceum course as well as community pictures. Here philosopher, scientist, artist, and musician find audience worth their best efforts. There is a public library, founded in 1921, which has come to be a well established institution. Her literary productions are the Lamoni Chronicle and Rabbilcraft, both published by the Blair Printing Company. The town has several live social clubs. The largest is the Community Club and closely following is the Ad Club, partaking of the nature of a Chamber of Commerce. There are several important women's clubs, the Boosters, the Patroness Society, and others. There are also chapters in the following lodges: Masonic, I. O. O. F., Knights of Pythias, and M. VV. of A., besides the Ralph Judson Post of the American Legion and the Women's Auxiliary of the American Legion. The spirit of Lamoni is cooperative and her interest in the college and friendly spirit toward the college students are very much appreciated.
