Q J l M AHFOUR YEARSH HFled like the phantoms of a morning dreamj A strange, fair dream, and now the sun has risen, And the-day's work begun. Yet blame' us not If, while we gird ourselves, we linger still, f Wistfully musing over what we dreamed. The four years of our sojourn in Houghton's halls have been critical yearshnot only inlour lives but in the history of Houghton College. In a peculiar way the first two years fled like phantoms of a morning dream -the cherished dream of receiving our degree from Houghton College.. Because of this hope, we, perhaps, as no other class, eagerly followed the last steps to the culmination of life- long efforts in the attainment of the charter for Houghton College, which was grantednn April, IQQ3. While we can never fully realize what this achievement has cost in the. sacrifice of individuals during the forty years of continual effort toward this goal, we feel especially indebted to President Luckey, the Faculty, and those who have gone before, who have made it possible for us, as the first graduating class, to call Houghton College our Alma Mater. The realization of this hope has held so much for those who entered in 1920, that eleven of that number have remained five years rather. than receive their degrees from some other institution. We have witnessed the steady progress which the college has made in all lines, and we believe that the ideals which have been held before us have become, to a large extent, our own ideals. The adjustment to the educational policy of New York State has made it imperative for many of the Seniors to carry very heavy schedules, in addition to much outside work. As a consequence of this, our activities have not been as many or as varied, as we desired them to be. In older colleges and universities, the Senior class has ha'd the three preceding Senior classes as examples. As we are the first Senior Class, we have found many problems to work out largely on our own initiative. Our attention has been engaged in part with the establishment of traditions, which it is customary to hand down from year to year. The Faculty have aided us in all these problems with lessons from their own experience. We first considered the matter of Senior privileges with the Faculty. Such as were con- sistent with the policy and administration of the school were granted. l Interspersed with our business activities have been those seasons when we gathered as one family group and learned to know each other as social beings. Though differing in age, temperament, and interests, we have a common meeting-ground, and there's a spirit in our midst that makes everyone feel at home. We are very grateful to the members of the Faculty and to the residents of Houghton, who made the pleasant occasions possible by inviting us to their homes. We are looking forward to the last few weeks that we will be privileged to spend in Houghton's halls, trusting they may bring enjoy- ment and mutual benefit from our associations. - The Senior Class is a group of twenty individuals. Some come to us from the environs of Houghton, others from more distant points of New York, several from Pennsylvania and one from distant Gregon. We are glad to have Miss Hampe, the dean of women, as one of our members. Among the others are teachers, messengers of the Gospel and those who have been leaders in all the school activities. In the summer of IQ23 Cupid's fateful dartspierced our ranks. We consider ourselves honored in having Mrs. Lennox, the Instructor of Oratory, as an honorary member and chaperon at our social functions. And we could not forget Mrs. Bernhoft and tiny Marion Louise, whom we are delighted to welcome among our number. A And the great question that the harassed Seniors hear reiterated by nearly everyone they meet takes some such forms as this, What are you going to do next year? And from the variety of answers, we conclude that there are among our number buddin school teachers ministers law ers doctors readers, and business men. - g , 2 2 Y 1 1 The years will bring us, hastening to their goal A little more of calmness, and of trust, With still the old, old doubt of death and dust And still the expectancy within the soul. O Father, as we go to meet the years, We ask not joy that fame or pleasure brings, But some calm knowledge of the sum of things- A hint of glory glimmering over tears, That he, who Walks with sanction from Thy hand Some token of its presence may have seen, i Beneath which we may tread the path serene Into the stillness of the unknown land. 7 7 7 lo l 17 1 l V ' -s I.

Though-V as yet, they are in a state of im- maturity, great things are to be expected from the results of the combined earnest efforts of our worthy professors to chisel and polish them into a 'semblance of proper form and state of usefulness r The BOULDER will give you some idea of our ability along literary lines We have been represented in athletics by three of our number Frank Henshaw Frederic Howland and Clarence Flint, who were members of the triumphant Gold basketball squad in the Purple-Gold series Mr White instructor in phy- sical training, is enthusiastic for all kinds of clean sports When tennis and baseball are the order of the daythe uniors will bethere to play their part In routine class work they are not wanting They ranked s cond in the first semester finals first place being won by the Seniors which is as it should be Last Fall the officers for the year were chos n Mr White foundit necessary to resign from the presidency because of heavy work and Louisa Gifford succeeded h1m Edith Lapham is our efficient secretarynand treasurer There are at least seven of our number who have at some former time or are now engaged in that noble profession of instructingthe youth of the country This year Harriett Burgie teaches in Fillrrore High School and Crystal Rork in Houghton Seminary.

Among them are musicians, singers, teachers, preachers, farmers, a prospective missionary, and 'a plumber. Five of the boys have been members of the I-Iarmonizers, four boys and tvvo girls were on the Purple Basketball Team, and three others Were on the honor roll for high scholarship. Of such a character are the members of the class of 727. I Delightful social gatherings and a perfect harmony have marked the past year and the one preceding. Some memorable events have taken place. One Was a roast-beef feed in the Woods last Qctober, When Professor Douglas Was taken into the class as an honorary member. Since then, he has proved a most desirable companion by his Witty 'stories and friendly spirit. In March, tne boys entertained the girls most royally at the home of the president, Paul Steese. Everyone enjoyed himself immensely. The class songs and yells that Were given Were evidence of the lively class spirit and general good Will abounding among them. Besides, the class has shown interest in spiritual things. Before the revival meetings in February, the class prayer-meeting vvas instigated and has been maintained ever since. A i Thus, the deeds of the class, have been of a four-fold nature: physical, mental, spiritual, and social. Look up the athletic records, you will find Sophomore names there. Investigate .the school register, and you Will discover hovv Well they have mastered their studies. As for the spiritual and social influences they can not be ' 'bl v1s1 y tabulated, but they are none the less important. With, more vigor and zeal than ever in the past, may the Sophomore Class continue as Juniors, to make history that will be beneficial to the noble institution which slie so dearly loves. 26 , U- ,-., - .. - ,, I ..--- wa -ers., ,-A .. ,K COLLEGE'FRESHMEN CLASS Hats off everybody' At this point the Freshmen enter-which is by way of being an epoch-making event. Perhaps 1t's the suggestion of infancy, the hint of mere childhood, that makes them shy away as if from a mature case of leprosy. However, be' that as it may, the Freshmen crash the gates with ensuing conquests! The largest class in Houghton College is represented by forty-eight stolid young men and women who have set a goal for themselves to be attained after four years of diligent labor. Although these infantswere at first dazed by the dignified atmosphere of the college world, ,they slowly recovered from their embarrassment and began their school work in earnest. They have entered the competitive races and already the lists contain a goodly number of c'Frosh7' representatives. ,Scarcely had the school year opened until the Freshmen were taking part in all the many activities the school upheld. Early in November came Professor Hazlett's call for try-outs on the debate squad. In March when the teams were announced much to the surprise of everyone three Freshmen were brought to the limelight- as the personnel of the negative team. Virgil Hussey, the worthy president of the class of '28, Oliver Christy, a prom- inent figure in all college activities, and Joseph Newman, a prospective young law- yer, were the youthful orators who 'charangued the multitudev on that memorable night of March twentieth, and won a unanimous vote in Houghton's favor. Though these lads won their Alma Mater's true glory, they indeed, owe much of their strength to the loyal service of their Senior brother and alternate Mark Bedford. Again the class of '28 displayed its talents when on April seventh the winners of the annual Literary Contest were announced, and four of the six prizes were awarded to Freshmen. Not only in these two branchesof service, but also in every other organization of the school, the Freshmen are very active. 'The President of the Student Body, the Assistant Editor of the Houghton Star, and 'three officers of the Athenian Literary Society are a few of the honored positions held by worthy Freshmen. Q ' 4 i . Thus, they have made a name for themselves in the first year of their college CHFCCT. ' 27 -., ,.-..-.,,.U,.....-W - ----. ---- ----- - --V A . Q .,...

I Q1 l OUR THEGLOGICAL DEPART-MENT While many institutions today are honey-combed With unbeiief, skepticism and Worldliness, Houghton College stands for original Methocism as preached and taught by Wesley, Fletcher, Clark, andthe other early Worthies of Methodism. Their positive Christian message is the only remedy for the condition of uncertainty . . , , 7 doubt and disbelief of today. The negations of the Modernist offers little to nurture faith and hope. 'cWhat does all the testimony of the scientists ranged against the God-man amount to, if it is opposed by the infallible Witness of the living soul? Writes a great European Writer. . A In the propagation of such vital, positive, life-transforming and empowering truth through Well-trained young men and Women, does the Theological Depart- ment find its great mission and task. The Faculty of this department now numbers six, who are devout believers in the Wesleyan interpretation of evangelical truth. The Theological Department is unique in offering various types of Christian training for both laity and .licensed Workers. Of special note is the Work in con- nection With the Advanced Theological Course which is made up principally of college grade Work. Those desiring to bring to their future Work the Well-orbed training that general culture and intellectual discipline bring, Will find the Religious Educational major of special interest. aWith a small amount of extra Work in addition to the requirements for the Advanced Theological Course, the student may secure his Bachelor of Arts degree with Religious' Education as his major. Here the clear and pronounced Christian point of view and the breadth of general culture come at the same time, each assisting the other. The entire work and life of the department aims to bring out by study, by prayer, by Christian influence and fellowship, devout men and Women of con- viction, consecrated to the great task of Winning lost men and Women to lives of purity and holiness. . 0 . . u Fifty-one of our student body are preparing for active Christian Work in the church. There are five distinctively Theological graduates this year though a number of the College Senior Class expect to enter the Master's vineyard in both pulpit and mission field. 31 fl C QTT'-TT K if .

' . This progress denotes a radical change, When We consider the op1n1on held by the maiority of people a few years ago in regard to music 1 Once only those Who ' wished to make music their life Work thought of studying it but today lt 18 con- sidered one of the necessary accomplishments of the versatile and cultured indi- vidual This 1S especially true of vocal training, but-as music holds such an import- antiplace in our social and religious life Why shouldn t We be trained to meet the demands? Up to this time the music studios have been located 1n the college building, but next year there Will be a building exclusively for music Th1s an- nouncement not only brings pleasure to the music students but also to those to Whom the strains of music have proved stronger than the1r power of concentration The benefits der1ved from this course are enjoyed not only by the music pupils but also by the rest of the school and public as Well. Several entertainments, such as the Library Benefit Concert and the May Festival Which are given through- out the year are furnished largely by the Music Department. ' - - Perhaps in the past this department has been considered 'a minor division but it holds an important place in the life of Houghton College and Seminary and Will continue to increase in this respect.

Our class is proud to say that these are our qualities. If we live up to our motto with this backing, we will have no fear in facing the problems of life. Aside from these we have originality. During the first few weeks of school, little was done to arouse the enthusiasm of our members, however, someone had an inspiration. Un Halloweien the Juniors shared a merry time with the high school attic. Mrs. Bowen was our 'cchapn and Mrs. Johnson, who is our Hclass Mother , was there to assist in the activities. When the time for departure came, we discovered that we were locked in, but Mrs. Bowen's gentle command was obeyed. We were delightedto think she was with us for two reasons, first, because she was a jolly Hchapi' and second, because we did not have to spend the night in the attic, which we would no doubt have been obliged to do. The rest of the school-year was made more pleasant by the friendship gained on that evening. Since our first gathering, several original ideas made our class an exception. We received permission from the faculty to obtain our senior pins this year, which will undoubtedly be the custom, in the years to come. We are thinking of giving a concert next year, so watch for the talents and characters which will be portrayed by the Senior Class of Twenty-six. , Q A - .- - - - rg 16 I S iste ' - . 3 soPHo'MoRE oLAss PAULINE ELLIsoN ..,...

In the little village of Houghton, A merry place is our school, dear. On the silvery Genesee, The classes are very keen. Was founded a Sem. and College, There are Freshmen, Juniors and Seniors, On purpose for you and me. But the Sophs are the class supreme. The Sophomores are a class of high ambitions. We have not as yet reached the point of popularity, but nevertheless, our cart is hitched to a star. We are building for the future, and we are building well. Some day we hope that we shall be able to show the world of just what sort of material we are. As yet, we have withheld ourselves from the social world, knowing its lures to drag one away from one's studies. But in spite of this fact, we have indulged in one social function, namely, a wiener roast. This was held one night in the early Fall. The Sophomores all agree that we had a delightful time. The only remorse that we felt was that we did not have more rolls and hot dogs, although if many more had been eaten, we would have been minus at school the next morn- ing. . Several new members were added to our class in January, and one of our members, namely, Eileen Loftis, is a proud Junior this term. So at the close of this account, we as Sophomores, all join in saying: We Sophomores are a jolly crew, WVe try to do what's right, And whatsoe'er we find to do, 9 VVe do with all our might. 44 gym, , .. fa II ..--1... - i.. , hs-.nw - A wg.- , -xgnlsen -- - f-::'.1ff'f- J 1 y gtg FRESHMAN'CLASS1 WILLARD SMITH ......

Home conditions, educational advantages, religious training, and occupation of child- life are factors lending their influence in the work of preparation for the coming years. ' From whatever home conditions children may come, they find in theipublic school equal opportunity. At least in this place, rich and poor meet on common ground. In modern schools students are impartially given the benefits of courses of study worked out by the best psychologists and educationalists. In a certain building lately visited, the beautiful architecture, the completenequiprnent, the system of self-government employed, and, above all, the efficient and sympathetic teachers were forces having their respective shares in moulding the young lives who are the hope of the world. In the auditorium of this school, printed in large gold letters above the richly draped stage, is the truly American message: f'With malice toward none, with charity for all, . ' With firmness in the right. Surely students ,in such aninstitution may be expected to contribute much to the bright hopes of the world. However, since children fortunate enough to be educated in such schools are in the .small minority, we must look to the common city school and the more common rural school as more adequately representingthat which is called the bulwark of our civilization. Character is being built in these places just as surely, and there is no reason' to believe it is with less purity, than in the finer and more modern institutions. The dynamic result of school life, essentiallyrthe same everywhere, must be found in an education that makes more lustrous the hope of comin da s. ' . Howegfer, iive may not with justice lay the entire. responsibility upon the school. A few years ago in a certain primary class of children were a rough-mannered girl named Florence, and a gentle child named Alice. As they attended the same school, and were trained by the same teachers, could not their later life be expected to be somewhat parallel? Yes,-if it 1S only the public school that is developing characterp ln the daily paper not long ago, there appeared. an account of the shameful arrest of Florence for misconduct in a city rooming-house.. During the same week, sweet Alice was found in the demure garb of a Salvation Army lassie, selling the War Cry. For the sad explanation of the. difference in the out- come of the youth of these girls, we naturally look.to their homes. .Motherless Florence was left in the care of unsympathetic relatives in a house distinguished by its dirt and profanity a breeding place of low ideals a shelter but not a home On the other hand, Alice in her Christian mother s home was a sharer of her love and of her meager living earned by weary labor in the nearby laundry Economic conditions in a home necessarily mould to a large extent the morals of the family The squalid misery of dingy rooms overcrowded with occupants gil E Friend.

At the other extreme is the home of reckless luxury. Where extravagance is the rule of the day, where reputation is the highest aim rather th-an character, the child learns many false ideals. How can these standards. equip him for a future which will enlighten the world? We conclude that neither the poverty nor the wealth of a home can be taken as a criterion of the kind of citizens 1t is producing. Many men and women have come from every walk of life to send their effective rays of light into needy situations. . I , 1 I . Children in Occupations is the subject of an articlein the Survey, discussing theemployment of little children in work.where success is derived from the appeal of childhood. The writer says that the very sweetness and naturalness of young 'life is being commercialized by many parents and by some classeslofnemployers, First, there is the c'profession of begging. In large cities an astonishing number of children are sent by their parents to public places where they tell untruthful tales to excite pity, and where they receive ample means to support the entire family. How does this indicate honest and hard-working future citizens? Again, the business of the street newsboy takes him to scenes of immoralitny, and brings him into companionship with nothing more wholesome than the guile of his .glaring headlines- Often the younger and more innocent a boy appears, the more sales he is able to make. Does a street-bred boy furnish high hopes for the future? Furthermore, theatrical managers make extensive use of childhood because of its appeal. Often whole companies are composed of youngsters. Dressed in swaggering style, and trained in all the gross vulgarities of a comedian as to pos- ture, vocabulary, and pitch of voice, a child of six years has been seen, captivating the thoughtless audience simply on account of her childishness. Will such a child develop into a home queen such as is needed if the hope of the world is to be realized? The subject of child-labor is most often considered as referring to work in industrial establishments. In the cotton mills, for example, the ceaseless sameness of years of spooling takes away the natural aptitude of the young people. There are fortunately some mill corporations which, realizing the slacknessiof state laws concerning education, have themselves undertaken the schooling of their employees' children. They also have engaged' social workers to better the general living conditions. These humanitarian efforts afford the hope that future mill families will have more wholesome surroundings than were found in a certain home lately, by a social worker. The sagging beds, the cracked mirrors, the broken table-leg, and general indications of poor management formed but the grim background to the sad picture of the forlorn children on the Hoor. The mother's words, in untrained speech, afforded an 'insight immediately into the reason for these pitiable conditions. Now a bent-shouldered woman of but twenty- three, with unenlightened mind, she was the product of almost twenty years of mill labor. Her only forward-looking thought was to the time when the daughter would be old enough to enter the mill under the new regulations. Is the hope of the world adequately protected when only a small proportion of the corpora- tions are caring for their young people's welfare? A Legislation to regulate child-labor in the United States is now in a period of development. The fact that over one-fourth of the states have rejected the Twentieth Amendment does not indicate a national sentiment in favor of the exploitation of child life. V There are other reasons, such as the argument of the invasion by Congress of the rights of the states, the tendency to devise laws to correct social evils, and the seeming lack of wisdomin certain provisions of the Amendment. Rapid progress has been made in promoting the welfare of youthful laborers, especially in Massachusetts, the state which by a popular referendum 50 xo , 6, as-fe..-.ee . Q u-' ie Vg g A E xo A, 011311, g y , 02. rejected the national' measure. We certainly believe that greedy blind mammon will be overcome in behalf of the very individuals who, we expect, shall make in the future the ungreedy, intelligent citizens of our land. The hope of the un-Christian lands also liesin their children. They are the most promising portion of the people to whom the missionary can appeal. Not yet being psychologically mature, they can 'easily be taught clean living and Christian beliefs. The hope of the heathen world very truly can be said to shine from the children in the mission schools. ' 5 A broad education, and adequate protection by law must be given the rising generations. Will these suffice, however, for the fulfillment of the world's highest hopes? The outlook for the coming years is always found in the present trend of peoples and individuals. In the opinion of Dr. A. S. Downing, the present tide is flowing in the same channel as that which led to the -downfall of Rome, and to the French Revolution. The only force that can stop this plunge to dis- aster is a Christianized generation of men and women. This is the true signihcance of the symbolic picture described in the introduction to this paper. In the evangel- ization of our young people lies the gleaming hope for the coming days. ' Children, taught to fear God will have the wisdom more precious than rubies. They will love righteousness and hate evil. A steadfast purpose will be theirs to walk the way of an altruistic, life. More than this, with hearts made right before God by the uttermost salvation of our Lord Jesus Christ, and looking unto Him as the author and finisher of their faith, these young people will be worthy of the words of the Master, HYe are the light of the world . VVordsworth spoke of Ha youth to whom was given so much of earth, so much of heaven . This vast inheritance of physicaland spiritual wealth is laid up, waiting for every youth. Shall each one be so led that he seeks and obtains his rightful estate? From whatever home life the child comes, with whatever edu- cational advantages he may be given, whether or not he be employed as a wage earner, letus in America see that every one has the paramount opportunity of life-the chance to learn from -the universal Friend and the all-understanding Teacher of mankind. Then will the hope of the world shine steadily towards the perfect day of the Kingdom of Heaven. 9 0 0 o 0 , 5 9 I 0 0 2, 51 i H Y ,, . - .

I had four. children already-so close together-two of them hardly more thanbabiesi. It was just after the boom had collapsed, the -railroad shops had been moved away, and your fatherls business was at its lowest. It seemed almost a crime for me to bring another helpless little baby into such sordid surround- ings, with. nobody to.welcome it, no dainty little clothes. There was no money to buy things, and with no help I could hardly get through the necessary work. I was wretchedly unhappy. I thought, if I had some one to talk to, to help me see the wonder-your father was so much older than I that I could never talk' to him. There was no one here. ' . I Helen was gazing at her, wide-eyed. A I One day when I could hardly keep up, I kept praying over and over, in a blind, desperate sort of way, 'Lord, make me happy-make me seel', when I began to think of a friend of long ago-my best friend. I remember him saying, 'each has his life to live. Each must fight some discouragement, some seemingly hopeless obstacles'. All at once it surged over my heart-the feeling that love and beapcity were all around me, were mine, the glorious feeling of kinship with the wor . . ' ' c'Oh, Mother, I know! Helen's eyes were shining. It comes over me some- times, when I feel I've been singing my best.', I . Yes, dear, thatls the feeling I've wanted you to carry with you all your life- 1n spite o pain. I - I I f'Ohl Helen shrank back. q V I willed it into your life, said her mother quietly. I wanted beauty and happiness for you. There's always beauty somewhere, Helen. If you can't see it, feel it. What matters the sordidness of a town with a sky like that above? Helen passed the next few days in feverish anticipation. After her father's grudging consent, the sandy plains seemed blossoming with happiness. She felt a secret thrillof exultation at the memory of the conversation with her mother. It seemed to set her apart, casting a romantic glow over her barren surroundings. And then, one day, came the staggering, unexpected blow. Dazed with the shock, Helen found herself mechanically assuming the responsibilities of the house. She forced herself to go through the unreal scene, dimly conscious of an over- whelming grief that threatened to tear 'through her numbness. Her brothers and sisters came home for the funeral of their beloved mother. Edith took im- mediate charge of the household. To her insistent questioning Helen could only reiterate, UNO, no. She had not been ill at all. We just found her, Father and I. We thought she was asleep-she looked so peacefulf' - It was Edith who brought the sorrowful group to the consideration of what was to be done about Helen and her father. While the brothers and sisters were deciding, Jerry Cranston raised his head saying, Ralph-Edith-I ain't a-goin' to leave here. ' ' I They could not move him. In vain Ralph protested and Edith pleaded. Helen sat white and numb. . . Helen can go with you, Edith. I'll stay here! ' Helen pushed back her chair in uncontrollable' resentment. He knew that she couldnlt leave him alone, she thought bitterly. It was joust like him to pro- pose it, knowing her helplessness. All her growing antagonism flared up in the one look she flung at him as she left the room. The days that followed were the bitterest Helen had ever. known.

He had fallen into the habit of sitting for hours in his big chair, his chin dropped onhis breast, staring at nothing, his pipe gone out. It worrled and vexed Helen. She blistered her hands, and burned her fingers washing, cook- ing, and scrubbing. H . Une day Helen became suddenly conscious of a violent windstorm. Shne could not see across the street for the swirling sand. She glanced at the geraniums in the window-box outside. The wind was blowing them violently. Helen ran to look at the big geranium, its white petals flushed with pink, that had bC6H l1Cf mother's favorite. Its place was empty. The geranium had been torn up by the roots. . With blazing eyes she went swiftly. to the kitchen. Hliather, did you pull up that flower? . He stood up slowly. Yes! he' said finally, not meeting her eyes. ccWhen you knew it was my favorite-and Mother's favorite? He straightened, looked at her as if about to speak, then dropped his eyes. A slow, unfamiliar red crept over his face. Helen walked back to the sitting room, and shut the door. Great convulsing sobs shook her slender frame. A long time after, when she raised her head, the storm was over. Restlessly, she looked at the sky. Already, the colors were gathering for a glorious sunset. But, bitterness lay in her heart. She turnedifootsteps toward the little cemetery. She reached the cemetery, turned to her mother's grave-and stood trans- fixed. - . A tall, gray-haired figure rose slowly to his feet. Beside him lay a drooping gerani-um, its white petals faintly flushed with pink. 4 The man looked helplessly at her, the traces of tears still on his cheeks. Halt- ingly, he spoke:c'I-was-just tryin' to put' it back. She-loved purty things so. I set it out here last night, but the wind-whipped it around so- Helen stared at him. Amazement and incredulity struggled against the old antagonism, then gave way to a sudden, overwhelming pity. Daddy!,' The old forgotten name fell unconsciously from her lips. 'cYou' Wanted to plant it here because she loved it so! Impulsively she drew nearer and clasped his arm. ' - He straightened stiffly, but something leapedin the dim eyes. 'cYou used to call me that when you were my little gal! He stood silently a moment, then went on stumblingly: HDaughter, you've always seemed-just the baby gal. I was afraid to have you go to the big city alone..I couldn't go out to Ralph's ranch, and leave her here alone-nobody here that loved her. ff Daddy! The tears were streaming down his face. He, too, had been lonely! And, suddenly, the bitterness that had crushed her heart was swept away in a glorious tide of sympathy and- understanding. , Q 'fDaddy, we'll.f1nd it together!7' . He looked wonderingly into the radiant eyes. u' 'fHappiness, Daddy! See? she whispered. 'cOne of lVIother's own sunsets!

Combats they were in truth, as SOUR less fortunate always emerged with all ap- pearances of having met a formidable foe. Many readers may no doubt retrospffflfl UPOU those days with a sense of satisfaction, ,but we must all admit that such,contests -re- presented excitement ordinarily accruing from a foot race or a snowball fight. It was sport, but sport for the sake of beating some one else by sheer Herculean methods. To the victor belonged the spoil. I can still recall one brawny lad who always wormed out, literally! carrying his opponents down the floor to defeat. I can, also, sense the chagrin of approaching zero as a limit be- cause of his mighty on-rushes. I 2 Time, however, has brought its changes. Houghton has caught the vision of other schools in recognizing the attention and needs of athletics as forming a fundamental part of mental development, and has now a systematized plan. The best qualified contestants are picked in basketball, baseball, tennis, track and field to represent their respective color, f'Purple or HGold,'. i These representatives always do Q honor to their supporters and to the school. Many remarkable records have been made which are shown in tabulated form under track and field. The contests p l I 3 are played as sport for sport's sake, courage, fairness, honesty, cheerf-ulness, in- itiative, and courtesy regulate our athletes in these friendly encounters. 04. y Thus a bigger vision for physical education in Houghton has transformed 5 . , the rough and tumble basketball, the back door baseball and the crude field meets f 0 into a systematized and efficient organization. We believe there are stillgreater visions ahead, but do not care to speculate on what changes the future will bring , to our athletics. Suffice it to say that our present system is almost as thrilling and beneficial as intercollegiate contests. In fact, our athletic standard of efficiency, 0 . is so high as to secure respect and honor in the display of our official letters on the A breasts of successful contestants. Too much credit cannot be given to the regula- Q tion of a scholastic clause which requires all our athletes to make a passing grade in every subJect and an average of 7OfZ. Since our sports must be unique, we have . , worked out a corresponding system which is appealing to the athletic desires and is intellectually. profitable to each and every student. At the time of this writing only the basketball series has been completed. 'These contests proved to be the best in the history of Houghton athletics, Bgth teams played a hard, fast and generally consistent game. Unlike intercollegiate ath- letics, we do not see that kind of insanity which bids fair to ruin the interest' of people who love to see fair play. We believe that our contests should build for character, teach patience, grit and courage. We trust that Houghton athletics i shall never see these funamentals of character development sacrificed at the Q A price of a mere desire to win. The challenge is ours. Let us maintain its standard ' I at all cost. . t. , r Q V- gl g 56 . , xo , 4 i IS EARL TIERNEY Earl is a true sportsman and loves athletics as sport for sport s sake As president of the Athletic Association and capta1n of the Purple he has filled those positions nobly Undoubtedly he has done more for athletics 1n Houghton than any other man With Earls graduation Houghton Will lose a great booster of athlet1cs AGNES LAPHAM Peg is What We all call her She is a Jolly girl and always In for a good time As captain of the Purple girls she has shown herself to be a good sports Woman and capable of W1nn1r1g the co operat1on of her side CHARLES WHITE Those Who have had the privilege of long association With our Physical D1rector Charles do not find it d1f licult to po1nt out his athletic ab1l1t1es those who have recently met him are quickly persuaded of his qualifications by his sportsman-like life rugged phys1que and mainly character LAURA STEESE lt may seem old and trite to some when they hear an individual char- acterized as an excellent sports-Woman but to speak of Laura thus when We interpret a sports-woman as' one ex- emplifying the highest and most rigid ideals of fair play, is to pay her a min- imum tribute.

Due to the early publication of this annual, the baseball, tennis, track and field contests cannot be included.

Thus do the records of the Athenian Society begin. ' On November 28, IQIO, a meeting of all the college students was called to consider the advisability of forming such a society At a meetin two lc l . g wee s ater Mr. Maurice Gibbs, Mr. Harold Hester, and Mr. Ralph Davy were elected to draw up a constitution. - After the approval of the Faculty had been secured, the Athenian Society was organized March '22, IQII. There were sixteen charter members. Five of them have been missionaries, two, ministers, and several became teachers, of whom Profe o F lc H. W ss r ran right and Professor Ray W. Hazlett are now on the Faculty of Houghton College. The 'first president, Mr. Edward Elliott and the vice-president, Miss Miriam Day, later went as missionaries to Africa. The second year there were twenty-one members. At the present time there are sixty-nine names on the roll. - - Meetings are held every Monday night. Theprograms consist of original stories and poems, essays, readings talk ' ' ' D , s on various topics, debates and music. Society work furnishes students a good opportunit to l . y earn to speak before an audience. - This semester the Athen , 7 P , I..

A few weeks after the opening of school, the Houghton Seminary Neosophic Society was organized. The purpose of the-Society was to give the students an opportunity to increase their knowledge and to develop both intellectually and spiritually. The constitution provided that all students ofthe Seminary be eligible for membership. Each Friday evening a program.was rendered by members of the Society. ' , Almost without fail the Society has continued to meet each week throughout the forty years of its existence. It has not always been under its original form, however. During the year IQI 1-12, it was changed so that only undergraduates of the high school department were eligible for membership, the college withdrew and formed the Philomathian Society, under a later organization the Athenian Society. Shortly after this change the Neosophic Society-was divided into the Boyis and Girl's Society. This was only temporary, however, and they soon reunited. The present officers of the Society are: Esther Hall, President, Olive Benning, Vice-President, Stanton Miller, Secretary, Grace Sherman, Assistant Secretary, and Jean Eldridge, Treasurer. 4 In the past the Neosophic Society fulfilled its mission to a large degree' and it' still continues to aid in the development of its members as prescribed by its con- stitution. As well as aiding in intellectual and spiritual training, this organiza- tion has been a means of fitting its members for efficient public speaking. 67 Qing Q-A Ii 411:41 . wif - S A I vt the-Ixo . t Q .. 3' 9 0 ' 9 M.

It has experienced a nobile past, Etniw witnessing a splendid present, and will soon become a part of an ever- rig tening uture. - Y A Realizing the great requirement of an avenue to the outside world, by which route news of Houghton activities could be sent, a small band of students ledby Miss Estella Glover, of Kansas, long ago agitated the matter of a school paper, and in IQOQ saw their efforts consummated when the Houghton Star became a reality. The periodical whose title was proposed by Mr. LeRoy Fancher, now Professor of Greek at Houghton, then appeared monthly in magazine form, edited by Allison Edgar who was assisted by Miss Glover. At that time it was only a literary organ in embryo, but -was destined to expand and to develop into a live school paper. And for this growth we are largely indebted to the pioneers who first settled Houghtonis literary claim, and garnered therefrom a few gems of sparkling merit. , ' Advancement of the Houghton Star has not been spectacular, but it has been steady and constant. In the year 1923, under the able direction of Earl H. Tierney who was then editor, our publication was transformed into a weekly news- paper which was calculated to picture even more clearly theaims of.Hou-ghton College and the conduct of her students. Thepaper did not fail to fulfill itsnmission. During the past year, the Staff, capably led by Allen Baker as editor, has endeavored to hold high the standards established long ago in the misty past. The platform upon which The Star was constructed has stood from that day to this with not a deteriorated plank not a golden nail of truth withdrawn. It is' our earnest desire that it continue to remain unmarred. . r ...W 69 n in VE U44--I u-, - Q r 'D i4 . if if Pl 1 1 . l i I INTERCCPLLEGIATE DEBATING Debate in Houghton has been somewhat narrow and confined in the past. In fact our debate relations have heretofore consisted of rather spasmodic en- counters with one institution, Chesbrough Seminary. Several years ago Chesbrough was decisively beaten on their own floor, but later in the year IQ23, they retaliated by defeating us in a double encounter which took place both here and at Chesbrough on the same evening. The late Professor H. R. Smith, to whom last year's Boulder was dedicated, coached the Houghton teams, in all these encounters and it was mainly through his intense, practical interest in- this activity, .that the infant spark of debating spirit was nourished during the years in which no contests took place. This year relations were again opened with Chesbrough, and with Professor R. W. Hazlett as coach the Houghton negative team won a unanimous decision at home, but the affirmative were forced to accept a two to one defeat in Ches- brough. The outlook for the future of debating in Houghton, judging from the interest manifested this year, is certainly optimistic. Coach Hazlett feels that in the absence of any other interscholastic activity, we should make debating our major sport. U ' Never before has the number of team candidates been so great nor their calibre so worthy. In fact there has been no event in the past few years of Houghton's history which has so bound her student body into a compact whole, The whole negative team except the alternate will be with us again next year, as will also, two members of the affirmative. Coach Hazlett also, whose untiring labors, knowledge of debate strategy, and acute concern in the work was the most vital factor in the encounters this year, will also return. 7 VVhy should we not be optimistic? Already in the mindslof the coach and others, are materializing plans for at least four encounters with different schools next year. The potent influence which interscholastic debate will wield for good in Houghton College, by advertising us in the .right way and molding together our student body is incalculable. 70 . ZK'6' to gt 'io -f THE HOUGHTON HARMONIZERS . The Houghton Harmonizers were organized in the Spring of IQ24 and have since become one of the most popular musical clubs in Western New York. The organization consists of a ten-piece orchestra which presents in a most pleasing manner classical overtures and lighter numbers in a well-balanced program along with a double male quartette. The double male quartette, under the direction of Miss Doris Hildreth, has become a feature of the concerts which seldom escapes encore. . The Harmonizers appear at all formal concerts under the direction of Professor Ray Hazlett, violinist, and leader of the orchestra. . ' Enthusiastic audiences in the leading towns of Western New York have been so thoroughly pleased with the high class program rendered by the organization, that the Harmonizers receive a most cordial welcome wherever they go. The school feels proud of their musical representatives as letters come in from towns after concerts with the express purpose of giving praise where praise is due. But the boys work hard to perfect their programs, taking special pains to improve their technique and interpretations-in short, to give the best they have in the interest of success both of the organization and of the school they represent. The program starts with an overture by the orchestra, 'followed by two light numbers by the quartette. A violin solo, vocal solo, and two light numbers by the orchestra complete the first half of the concert. After a five-minute inter- mission, the quartette appears in a group of two heavier numbers, followed by a piano solo, and a reading. The quartette then gives two negro selections and the orchestra closes the concert with two numbers, one a classical waltz and the other a medley of old tunes. . - The Houghton Harmonizers are by far the greatest musical achievement of the school, and on account of their great popularity are most desirable representa- tives of Houghton College and Seminary. '71 U Q A, .- - .... g f'-'Q 34 ' g L ' --C iz. . -TQ P 1 nl Q E l THE ANNA HOUGHITON DAUGHTERS Were you ever in a college town and in such a position that you were 'unable to become acquainted with the students and members of the faculty, and, in fact, felt very much alone and homesick? That such a state of affairs might not exist for the wives of students and faculty members of Houghton College and Seminary, it was deemed advisable to have an organization where these ladies might meet. Thus, on' Friday afternoon, February 29, 1924, a goodly number of l21d1CS met at the home of Mrs. W. L. Fancher to consider the organization of such a. group. While considering the aim of the society, let us look to.their constitution. The purpose of this society shall be the social, mental and religious development of its members and those whom they may reachf? The Anna Houghton Daughters have purposed to co-operate with the College and Seminary in any way which would be for the benefit and advancement of the students. . Une of the means of contact with the students is the annual Senior Tea. -The first Tea was held in the reception room of the Dormitory. The Seniors from all departments were the guests of the society. The merry faces and Jolly conversa- tion of the little groups clustering about the room as they visited and drank tea, told to the onlooker that the Anna Houghton Daughters were becoming acquainted with the Seniors. And, was the Tea, then, merely for the social pleasure derived from it? Oh, no! Back in the minds of the ladies who proposed this function was the thought that some day our Seniors will be out in a world of people where they will be judged, to a great extent, by the little niceties of social etiquette. The purpose of the formal tea, you see, is to train another side of the lives of our outgoing students. ' The first big event of the year is the Banquet where the membersof the society, with their husbands and all men of the faculty, meet one another for a social evening. While the banquet may be necessarily formal, there is one .informal red letter day in the calendar. The picnic! Here in the early summer the families of the members have one big family gathering for a romp and general good time. Q Was the first picnic, held on the camp ground, a success? Just ask some of the men folks and children. 1 ' The mental and religious development of the members is accomplished by a series of studies and talks given at the regular meetings. A very beneficial study of etiquette was given and then an afternoon devoted to a question box upon this subject. The two latest studies have been Modern'Music'7 and f'Modern Literature . One afternoon was spent in the Physics Laboratory where Dr. Boardman gave a very educational and interesting demonstration of the X-Ray. Anna Houghton Daughters! Does not the name itself interest you? When choosing a name for the organization it was desired that it should be one that would show the connection of the society and the school. A noble character, and one whose well-rounded life had been developed to a marked-degree, socially, mentally, and religiously, one who combined the domestic virtues with these phases of life, one whose life had been an inspiration to many, such was the char- acter of Mrs. Anna Sparks Houghton. And for her was the society named as a memorial. To carry out her ideals for Houghton College and Houghton Seminary, and for every home represented in the organization, and to imitate, as far as pos- sible, the quiet and peaceful, yet strong and influential life of this beloved and respected woman, is the purpose of the Anna Houghton Daughters, -1 72 l' 'Z' 'f Y, to oi -- 3. ,, I l 'F - L - 1' A r Q.: -W - - v-luuu.,,JlIuu11ffff1 fun, -lip ' ' 5.1 E EDITORIAL In the United States today there are approximately 8oo colleges and uni- versities. Practically every one of these claim for themselves the distinction of being -Christian Institutions. At least a major portion of them were born under the guiding' hand of some church society for the purpose of educating their own boys and girls in the Christian faith. There are a few universitites which were founded and at present are maintained by the state. However, it is safe to say that each American college and university claims the name of Christian. What do we mean when we say Christian College? Do we mean a college founded and supported in so-called Christian America? Too often that is the definition in mind. But is that the true meaning of Christian? Here is a specific example. In the Middle West is a small college which was established in 18- by an evangelical church for the purpose of Christian Educa- tion. A few years ago this school threw of-I the yoke of the church and became non-sectarian. What was the reason for such procedure? Only this-that it wished to place itself in a position to receive financial aid from certain outside sources. As a result of this covetousness and lack of faith, the number of students preparing for definite Christian work dwindled from one or two hundred to a number which one might count on his fingers. Along with this decline of religious education there was a corresponding increase in modernism and a decrease in morals. Is such a' college entitled to the name of Christian? We say, NO! No institution of learning can claim such a distinction when Christ is left out of its curriculum. Christ is essential to all Christian Institutions. C A Christian College, although organized primarily for the education of young people, must not neglect the Christian training which is the rightful heritage of every boy and girl in America. The leaders of the not-far-distant future are in our colleges today, and unless they receive their rightful heritage, they will lead our country further and further from the true paths pointed out by our fathers. Let us consider another example. A small college on the banks of the Genessee in Western New York has a consistent Christian faculty. Financial needs are metlwith prayer and trust. In this institution zofzg of the entire. student bo-dy are preparing for definite Christian work and 7595 have acknowledged their faith in Jesus Christ. Is this a Christian College? We say, Yes! i - Houghton claims the name of a Christian College on the following grounds. in and teaches: Bible as the Word of God. ' deity of Jesus Christ. A ' ' atonement of Jesus Christ for sin. , It believes I-The 2-The A 3-The 4-Regeneration. n . - 5-Sanctification as a second definite work of grace with the Holy Ghost as sanctifier and guide. , . n 6-The resurrection of our Lord and His second coming. 7-The bodily resurrection of the saints. ,,f:4p.-- --Q2 'CG'-- E O if E SENIOR Y M W HOUGHTON COLLEGE I have sometimes seen in the light of the morning sun the smoke of a thousand villages where Christ has never been named M0 at That college or institution is surely to be pitied whose v1s1on never extends beyond the interests and activities included within the narrow confines of its own campus Life in such an institution would be a humdrum existence While no student in Houghton College has ever had the opportunity to view the Dark Continent from Moffats viewpoint still we believe that some have caught a v1s1on with a far more extensive range than that of the ordinary college student extend the field of that vision It has been our privilege during the past year to meet and acquaint ourselves with several missionaries who were on their way to or from the field Among this number are Lulu Tanner Dr Ruby Paine Flora Brecht, Leslie Tullar, Mr Harding and Mary Greene We consider ourselves fortunate in having with us Mr and Mrs George Clarke who live in our midst and who are deeply interested in the Y M W B But our v1s1on extends yet farther We are proud to have as our representative on the India field Mr and Mrs Floyd Banker both of whom are graduates of Houghton We have become responsible for Mrs Bankers support and trust that the day is not far distant when we may assume Mr Banker s support as well As we leave the halls of Houghton College, we will forget much of our detailed knowledge but those who have availed themselves of the opportunities afforded will not soon forget the friendships formed with many of the missionaries who have attended our College as well as the inspiration imparted by those who have come and gone A HISTORY OF THE BOULDER STAFF r - O 1925 The history of the Boulder Staff this year, as in the case of all history, resolves itself into a part of the biography of the individuals who have been vitally. connected with it The trials and v1c1ss1tudes with which this book has been fraught in the making and the happiness and joy which its compilation has brought to its creators has added a new and vitally interesting page to the biography of their lives. .I is their fondest hope that the book that has meant so much to them may add just a little to the joy and happiness of its readers and become more and more a treasureas the years come and go. The combined Sophomore classes of every department met on une 2 IQ24 to choose the staff for the coming year. This choice proved tobe one of the most vigorously contested elections in the history of Houghton College and Seminary. College was nicely opened in the fall when on October 26, those elected members of the staff assembled to select the minor oflicers. From that time on the student body never could find an excuse to forget the Boulder of 1925. just prior to the Christmas Holidays a drive was instituted for subscriptions among the students, which netted about one hundred and seventy-five. A Very early in the spring work began in earnest. Bids were received and con- tracts let for the engraving, printing and photography. The business manager Frank Henshaw, whose faithful and untiring work has proved one of the greatest factors in the success of the publication spent much of his spare time gleaninff advertisements. Rainy weather, poor sittings, and the loss of several negative? instituted most trying days into the diaries of Editor Crocker and his assiistants who even worked from dawn to dawn on one occasion in order that the pictures might reach the engravers on the right date. At last, however, everything was complete and behold you have in your hands the fruits of the best endeavors of the staff. 74 Q L T H . . . B . O F 0 ' ' .... . -if-. .17 - . .

' Written by one who was over thirty years aipracticing lawyer before the highest courts, and a close ' Student of the Philosophy of Materialism. Covers the whole ground in a small compass. Makes the subject transparently plain to all classes of readers. It would be difficult to conceive of material of more fascinating interest and significance on Evolution than has been crowded into the eighty pages of this little book. Mr. Mauro, the well known New York lawyer and Bible student, has produced a masterpiece, possible only to the trained mind of the lawyer and the Spirit-illumined mind of the believing student of God's Word. It is hard to say whether his facts or his logic are the more irresistible. U The book is a God-send to this needy age. Christian parents and teachers will do well to master its contents if they would safeguard themselves and their children from the Godjdenymg, death-dealing doctrine of Evolu- tion, which has gained a strangle-hold on the educational systems of today. -Sunday School Times.
