'ifinmvn Eljirinripal nf Qnughinn Sveminarg Whose interests have been intimately connected .and identified with those of this institution-first, as a teacher in the early days of the Old Seminary on the other hill, then, as wife of a Connectional Agent of the Wesleyan Methodist Denomination, who believed whole- heartedly in the educational work of the church, and as long as he lived, supported it loyally during a period when Houghton was the only school, next, as mother of boys who 'received their education at Houghton and have since brought honor to their Alma Mater in their chosen fields 3 and finally as maternal mentor of other mothers' boys and girls for manystudent generations, a progressive educator and capable executive who has developed the high-school department to an enviable state-of efficiency and prestige, and wise counselor and spiritual guide, inspiring respect and love, and awakening latent ideals and aspirations in her students: whose outstanding character- istics and perfect poise and gracious mien, gentle humor and benignant wisdom, patient moderation mingled with decisive initiative, rare insight and depth of personality, unfailing sweetness and strength of character, together with the gift of sympathetic understanding and unassuming friendliness, and a sublime faith in youth and its possi- bilities which is at the same time the cause and the effect of her own perennial spirit of youth: and whose life demonstrates the eloquence not of words but :of deeds, the heroism of consecrated daily service, the potency of prayer and personal piety, the grandeur of simple faith and self-abnegation, and the beauty of a noble, serene spirit, This third Year Book of Houghton College and Seminary, which because of her presence and influence become doubly Alma Mater, is respectfully and affectionately dedicated. -.. , Four , ff f 1 I E119 ELWIIIHTDI' PHILIN DA S.

To be at home in all lands and agesg to count nature a familiar acquaintance. and art an intimate friend, to gain a standard for the appreciation of other men's work and the criticism of your own: to carry the keys of the world's library, and to feel its resources behind you in whatever task you undertake, to make hosts of friends among the men of your own age who are to be leaders in all walks of life: to lose yourself in generous enthusiasm and co-operate with others for common ends, to learn manners from students who are gentlemen, and form character under professors who are Christians-this is the offer ofthe college for the best four years of your lifef, This is precisely what is offered us by our .-Xlma Nlater through whose halls we, as Juniors, have been privileged to walk the first three years in which Houghton has existed as a chartered college. We do not care to burden our friends with an extended dissertation. but let a few words of explana- tion suH71ce for those who may care to read. Realizing that quality always stands higher than quantity, we would not boast of our membership, although in numbers we are twenty-one. But when it comes to loyalty, there's not a Junior who would slip into the row ofslackers, whether that loyalty be toward the class or our school as a whole. To show loyalty, a certain degree ofenthusiasm and pep is surely necessary. But where is the man who will say that the Juniors lack pep? For the benefit of the few doubters there may be, allow us to pull back the curtain, thus revealing to you some of the activities of the past year which helped to make the path of the Juniors a pleasant one. If you were present at the Bedford Gym on Friday night, the fourth of December, you surely have not forgotten the impression which you received when a band of young hopefuls with crests of Crimson and Gold crepe paper foh no, not red and yellowl ambulated around the gym floor, and at last gave you to understand that they were Juniors. Then came the Junior versus Frosh game, with the honors at last carried off by the former. Maybe there wasn't any pep or class spirit evident that night. Just what did you term it, then F Furthermore, in Chapel, on the following Tuesday, we Juniors in a body marched to the platform and at the same time discarded our red and yellow caps CI mean Crimson and Goldl. Did you say you thought at first that they were our class colors? But you soon found out differently, when you saw our large Rose and Silver Banner with the words, Not for self, but for others, firmly fastened on the wall. Then came our program which was the first class program given in the past year. If further proof of vivacity in the Junior Class is necessary, see Professor lVoolsey or his wife, who so royally entertained- us at a Hallowe'en Party at their home. It might not be necessary to mention the fact, but we are not at all ashamed of the scholastic standard maintained by the Junior Class, as a whole. We are coming to realize more and more the value of an education as a preparation for various fields of service. We realize, on the other hand, that education consists not solely of the learning obtained from books. Thus, in the personnel of the College Orchestra we find some of our Junior members, while in athletics our class plays a very important role. Of course, all these activities help to build up character, but we as a Junior Class are fully convinced that we could not well get along without our class prayer meetings. Wie are sure that the help we have received from these meetings will better enable us, in the days that are before us, to be of service to God and man, and this, after all, is the goal for which we are striving.

Kellogg i Uhr Svnphumnre Inna Having thus far pursued our college career with brilliant, gleaming success, having crashed 1nto higher education with a will to do and a spirit of achievement, and having safely endured that year of proverbial greenness --that period of gruesome testing which often uncovers secret characteristics that were better unknown-we, as the Sophomore Class, are tranquilly yet obviously advancing, en deavoring with all our power to fill the position to which we have been assigned Despite the fact that our representatives are found in every phase of college activity, despite the stable truth that the ranks of almost every college organization are partially if not wholly led by Sopho more chieftains, this is not essentially our boast, although it is a statement of which we may justly be proud. But the true worth of man is not always depicted by great works. Therefore, since character is the mirror in which fame is reflected, we, as a class, are constantly striving to hold high the principles of our college, and to emanate them to the world at large Nevertheless, it must not be understood that our college life is entirely taken up with studious pursuits and philosophical indulgences, for we are one af the most merry, jovial, fun-loving groups in our institution, every ready for a good, wholesome time, always willing to participate in sportsmanlike affairs. Although our social activities have not been numerous, we have made the most of our opportun ities, and have had a very pleasant school year together As a united, compact body, striving ever for the right, we fondly anticipate the remainder of our school days, and hope that we may become a blessing to mankind Thirty H , . , D . ,,,,...---... --....-.-...--i...-.,.,-,.,.,...,....... ..., ,.a,--.t-...,.,.,..,. . . un Q 1- ' -I ' W' ' .nr T-u.Y'iI ,- ' 1:q911f5f'1'I-Eiil, jg:-as-24-ff .-.N ,fix ' ' f' I I fc-L5 'fEfg fl if I. che uiaulhrr l . . ff' W 'QPF ' E' Slfnlflifw-C2l'D0IltCT, French, Densmorc, Hess. .-Xke, Jones, Fafford.

Vlle refer to the l reshies. 'lihere is an enrollment of fifty-two members in the class, and we are glad that we have been able to contribute something to the school's success in the different phases of her activities. In the realm of athletics, we have given two captains-one to the Purple boys and the other to the Gold girlsg also a goodly number of the participants in the basketball series were from the Ifresbman Class. We have talent along other lines of sport that are yet untried but which will be proved in the coming spring. Six of our members belong to the Houghton I-Iarmonizers. three are Student Body ofhcers. and four are contributing their part to the success of the Smr. In the intellectual field we are not ashamed of our achievements. Ifive of our number hold New York State scholarships. four ofthe six winners in the literary contest were from our ranks. and we also have representatives on the College Honor Roll. While we are grateful for advancement along secular lines. we are gratified at our record in spiritual things. Seventy per cent of our members have taken their stand for Christ. .-X Ifresbman prayer meeting was instituted early in the lirst semester: this has been a decided success and a blessing to all who attend. VVe were the first class in school to obtain our class distinction. green lids. 'lihese caps caused much comment. wise and otherwise. from the upperclassmen. Our most important class function was the I-Iallowe'en Party held on the camp ground. and it will always be a bright spot in our memory of the Freshman year in college. Everything considered.we believe that this has been the very best year that we have ever spent in school. In conclusion we say: Of all sad words of tongue or pen. ' The saddest are these.

How sweet on a bright Sabbath morning To list to the clear-ringing bell, Its tones so sweetly are calling, Oh, come to the church in the dell! I REV. J. R. PITT A ilrlaiiun nf Quughinn Qlhnrrh anim y Qnnghtnn Qlnllvgv Fond memories cluster around the events of our college days. Teachers and schoolmates continue to influence our lives long after we separate and go our various ways, and school halls and campus become almost shrines. For Houghton students there is no place connected with their school days more sacred'than the little white church at the foot ofthe hill. While it is a Wesleyan church so far as denominational and conference relations are concerned, nevertheless to the students it is their church and to the citizens it is their church without respect to color, sex, or sect. It occupies this unique place because it is the one church in the village and ministers to all. - But what would be the church without the pastor? For years we have had the great privilege of hearing, every Sabbath in church and on Thursday in chapel, the message from one of God's noblemen. The Rev. J. R. Pitt is a man with a large heart, and the influence of his life and words in moulding the character of young life is beyond computation. The manner of our pastor is so reserved and his sermons are so deep, that at times we may feel that we cannot get in close touch with him, but we know that his blood is red, his heart is tender, and he has a great father love for boys and girls that yearns to spend and be spent to help them. ' All this means that Houghton College and Houghton Church are very vitally connected. Houghton Church is the College Church and the Pastor of Houghton Church is the Pastor of Houghton College. Many students make the great decision to give the Lord Jesus Christ the rightful place in their lives in response to the searching truth delivered from her pulpit and many others are led into the deeper things of the spiritual life. All Christian students are most cordially invited to make this their church home While residing in. Houghton either by uniting in full membership or by uniting as associate members, the latter relationship being open to those who still retain their membership in other churches. And thus it is seen that the church and the school are practically one. The great purpose of both is Hagluelp young people to find themselves and then to prepare them for the great work to which they are ca e . -JAMES S. LUCKEY g '- -- . ,,..n . Thirty-fix lu-Ji-Y!!

'lihe number registered in the music department this year is about the same. but there is an increase in the number pursuing theoretical work. At the present time there are approxi- mately eighty students enrolled, the larger number of which are piano students. ,-Xlthough not all are li studying vvith the purpose ol' graduating, this year we have a -lunior Class of three members, and three 3 Seniors completing the piano course, one ol whom is also graduating lrom the voice department. l The benefits derived from this course are en'oved not only bv the music vu mils but also bv the rest J . . . l l . ol' the school and the public as well. During the year. several programs such as the l,ibrary llenefit Concert and the May l'estival are rendered largely by the Xlustc Department. t Comparatively few people fully realize the benefits that are derived from music. nor conceive ol' l the large part that music plays in the human lilie: consequently, their regard li .' music is somewhat r potential. Nevertheless. the lives that have been enriched by the spirit ol' celestial music that floats l great atgosies ol' soft, melodious notes down the high octaves to their port and goal-the human soul, l are not few in number. y , ' Music is a requisite of time and eternity. It renders a service that nothing else can. It reaches l into the deep stores of life and brings forth more ol' the potential sellihood. lr warms the heart. clears the head, strengthens the arm, and gladdens the feet. Ir lzindles the altar. sanctilies the lireside. and opens l the treasure chest ol' human life. Ir lightens every sorrow and heightens every joy.

One read his masterpiece in a squeaky voice, another too rapidly, and another without proper.enunc1a- tion. Nearly all, in fact, were unable so to sound forth the great conceptions of their own minds that those who listened could begin to comprehend the import of their messages. The study .of oratory IS designed to equip a man with the ability to present either his own thoughts or those of others in a pleasing, artistic, clear, convincing, powerful manner. That a spoken message may be more effective than a written one is a matter of common observation. This is so fthe messages being of equal valuej when the speaker has learned how to control his instruments of expression so that they accomplish the bidding of his intellect and emotion. It is very easy to get the idea that only Lyceum orators and preachers need to know the principles of this subject. This is very far from the truth. Every one who speaks needs to know how to speak not only correctly but also effectively. This is one of the reasons why we have a Department of Oratory at Houghton. We desire not only that our graduates shall be equipped with minds thoroughly trained, with principles which will help raise to higher standards their spheres of inlluence but also that they shall have the possibility of expression to assist them in putting across this knowledge and these ideals. About sixty-five students are pursuing the study of oratory this year. Among the number are some who have real talent in the oratorical Held. In co-operation with the Music Department, two splendid concerts were given this year-the Library Concert in February, and the annual May Festival during that month. A number of Special Chapel programs were also given and several private recitals. ,n,:,,-.. -.- X qc.. fn- ameagr -gp.-1 -T-,-,gautra---1-fi., .Q nf . nr' Y . - af,-.. k-1-rr .

Each one is proud of the diploma that he has received, not because ofthe value of the diploma itself but because of the achievement it represents-the successful com- pletion ofa high-school course. During these years We have been learning how to think, reason, judge, concen- trate, and study. All of this training will be of priceless value to us as we enter college halls or the University of Life. Besides, to many of us has come a marvelous change ofheart,Which was the result of Godly lives, earnest prayers, and the presence ofGod in Houghton. Now as We leave the happy life at Houghton Seminary, some things will stand out prominently in our memories. We shall remember, perhaps first of all, the friends We have made-classmates whose hearts We have come to understand, whose dreams and ambitions We have shared. The lives of these friends and of our beloved teachers will be an influence and an inspiration to us as we recall them. Naturally, When We remember our teachers and friends, we shall remember the social activities which our class enjoyed together as one big family. lVe shall not forget the hike to Caneadea Gorge when Dorothea was still with us to enter into our sport and to climb the banks and to Wade the stream, nor the attic party and the nut hike, the banquet we gave to the Seniors when we were Juniors, nor later the ban- quet given to us as Seniors by the Juniors, nor indeed our Junior-Senior Party at which We learned that Florence Fish was valedictorian, and Alton Cronk, saluta- torian of our class. Besides, We can never forget the concert-the first Senior Con- cert to be given in Houghton. How we dreamed and planned a whole year for this concert before the reality took place April 16, 1926. These glimpses into our past school days only reafiirm to us the fact that we have reached the sunset of our high-school life. The sunset fades and we have reached not twilight, but dawn of a greater and fuller life for us all. Fortyjitw ffl W -I PT-'TT-T. WWW- C X- ,In l fav- .ig Z ,, , W,-ff-eff .

Then we decided it was time to get together and arouse a little enthusiasm, which was not at all diH'icult to do. Our first social event was a Hallowe'en Party, the location of which was unknown to all except the committee in charge. We met at the home of Mrs. Bowen, and after an eventful parade through backyards and the school barn, we reached our destination-one of the high-school science rooms which was fittingly decorated. An enjoyable evening followed, during which games and pranks were played, stories told, and refreshments served. Mrs. Mitchell, our Class Mother, was present and acted as chap We are a thrifty class. Our novel way of raising funds through candy sales has proved successful and quite satisfactory. We are glad to say that the Juniors are not only fond of good times but are fond of their studies as well. We believe we have a right to claim some real intellectual genius in our group of twenty-two. For some reason or other, we seem to be honored in that we possess special ability and talent. Some of the high-school's best athletes are members of the Junior Class. Elmer Roth, Homer Fero, Russell Cronk, and Alice Folger have won laurels in this line. Alfred Kreckman and Donald Ferguson are members of the Houghton Harmonizers. The former is graduating from the Piano Department this year. We have in our ranks some Christian young people who are earnestly preparing for their life's work. We hope to send forth some future preachers, teachers. and a missionary. We believe we have acted wisely in selecting for our motto, For God and l-lumanityf, It is our purpose to so prepare ourselves that we may occupy positions of real service to mankind. Our Class!

I ' p Our class of twelve members, though small, is not dead. We have surely enjoyed this year's activities, and weiqhofne that each of our number will return to be a Junior next year, and bring a newmember to our sc oo . The Sophomores organized late in the first semester. Some time after, we chose our colors and motto. The motto is not onlyencouraging but also one ofwhich we shall not soon tire. Post Proelium Praemium , meaning after the battle, the reward,', is going to be our motto through high school. , The personnel of this class includes a nurse, athletes in both basketball and field and track, as well as musicians, such as violinists and pianists. Each member is loyal, full of fun, and willing to do his part. This spirit is especially shown at the social functions. One of our activities was a Hallowe'en Party. We met at a house in town where we had dinner at 6:30. After that we played games until 9:30, when Miss Fancher said that we had better adjourn. The sleigh ride was another event which We shall not soon forget. After a jolly ride to Fillmore and back, we had lunch at the dining hall. Both of these evenings were enjoyed by all. We are a jolly bunch-this class of ours- With all the sports and happy hours. Orchid and White our colors, gay, We'll be proud of every day.

YVe have some real musical talent, for some can play the piano, others have good voices, and one can play the saxophone. Besides, We have a stenographer and several athletes, two ofwhom played in the basket- ,, ball series on the Gold side. I Because we have so many studious members, our interests have been centered upon our studies, ' I and very little time has been found for play. However, We had a HalloWe'en Party with Miss Gillette, i . I our class mother, as chap , and there some ofthe real abilities ofthe Freshmen were revealed in the stories told, the poems given, and the musical numbers rendered. l . p As Important as other things may seem, our class believes in putting first things first. A large number of our members are Christians, and we are sure that your hearts would rejoice if you could visit 52 H our high-school prayer meeting every Monday evening and hear the prayers ascend the Throne of Grace.

Fox, H. Bain, scott Athletiru Athletics and development go hand' in hand. The Well-rounded college man or woman cannot afford to miss the intellectual as Well as the physical development which is to be derived from athletics. The intellectual element is becoming more and more pronounced as the athletic field advances. The scientific methods of training and the stress placed on exactness in every detail would seem to prove that the great strides in the organized games is along the intellectual more than the physical. Correct co-ordination between mind and body, striving to give quick, clear-cut decisions, followed instantly by decisive and pointed action, is the athletels reward after months of constant training. Sheer strength wins little in present-day sports. If a man possesses a physically-perfect body, only, he must strive to bring his mind into perfect harmony with it to become normal. If a man has a great mind, he 111l1Sf train his 'body to act as the mind directs. If he h athletics. But in the present athletic world, the man wtih the great mind and the body below normal as both, he must train both together to be a leader in holds an equal, ifnot better chance in athl t' h h 8 , e ics t an t e man with the great physique and less power of mind and will. . just so do we find the a brings it more into the realm of the individual star, and the dribble-and-shoot system. In baseball, we Hnd that the men who hit safely for the highest average are the most valuable men-the men who use what vitality they possess to the best advantage.

Taylor, Ake, Anderson Ihirtrrnth Annual Eitrrarg Qlnntvzt The two incentives to enter the Literary Contest are to attain a splendid ability as a writer and to have one's name inscribed on the magnificent loving cup presented for the contest by Mr. H. R. Barnett. This beautiful cup, of unusual magnitude, has its surface appropriately divided for the three phases of the contest, and under the proper section, the names of the first prize-winners of each annual contest are successively engraved. This cup may be viewed in the president's ofiice at the College. In this Thirteenth Annual Literary Contest of Houghton College and Seminary were submitted seventy-four productions in the three classes of literary effort-poetry, short story, and essay. Four places were won by the Freshmen, two of which were first prizes and two second. The Sophomores won one second place, and the Juniors, one first. There were thirty-one entries in poetry. The first prize went to Gladys Taylor for the production entitled Peace The second place was won by The Awakening by Joseph Kemp. Twenty-one entries comprised the extent of short stories. In this division, first place was accorded Left Behind by Erma Anderson, and second place, When the Husband Knew Best by Arthur Yetter. Of the twenty-two essays submitted, James Ake won first on Contentment-and Coal, and Ralph Long made second on Candy-boy in a Five-and-Ten. For the last two years it has been the custom to publish the first prize compositions in the school annual, THE BOULDER. The second prize-winners have received publicity in the Houghton Star, with the exception of The Awakening, which is included in THE BOULDER. Relative to the quality of the productions entered in the contest, Professor Hazlett, head of the English Department, makes the comment that the essays were particularly good, the winners beingof a personal or narrative type. One of the judges, Prof. H. F. Collister, teacher of English in the Fillmore High School, says, Ability to make the commonplace interesting and to draw therefrom practical lessons in an original manner attracted my attention. President J. W. Leedy of Marion College, in returning the manuscripts and the grades, writes, Miss Crozier Cone of the judgesj spoke very favorably of several of the essays and read some of them to her classes, commenting on them favorably. l 4 ch ,a,c,:,1,r. .cccl c,,,,MZw,,,.,,s,,,ccAL,.,. .... .,,.. ,,..

To the villager, a stroll through the fields borders on the boresome, to the convict, it is a bit of heaven. To the average person, dry bread is a superfiuity, to the hobo, it is a cause for rejoicing. It adds little to the con- tentment ofa soda fountain clerk to give him a jug of water, but the same jug would be accepted with ecstasy by a wanderer in the desert. We are often d1mly conscious of this, but although our perception of it is more acute at college than at home, we must labor at a really arduous job to achieve full cognizance of the truth lnvolved in the above. This fact, by almost imperceptible degrees, was brought to my attention during the past springq I had applied for a job early in theiyear, after announcing my Inten- tion to go to work. This view was strongly supported by my father, although my mother-but what mother does not imagine that her boy is an invalid for years after a severe illness, and make his illness an excuse to keep him near her, or else use it as a justification for her usually awkward attempts to shield him from the world? My application happened to arrive at the right time, and I was told to come out to work the following week. - ' Nor did I accept a job with any foolish idea of becoming a power in the mining industry by the application of diligence and industry, as do the heroes. of the school- boy's Shakespeare-Horatio Alger. Although in the previous year I had risen in six short months through truck driver and gang bossitofinspector, yet I realized that this was in no way due to my competency as an engineer or efficiency in road-con- struction, but rather a tribute to my abilities as entertainer-in-chief to the pretty and imperious daughter of the general manager, who in the words -of Kipling: Taught me the way to promotion and pay, I And I learned about women from her. Nor did I consider it a reflection upon those same capabilities, when fbecause one Saturday night I parked on a different sofa in front of the wrong fireplacel a resigna- tion was hinted at by a suddenlynon-cordial foreman. I philosophically reflected that being tied to one girl cramps one's style anyway, and proceeded back to school, thus I already considered myself a veteran in the field of manual labor. The first morning that I went to work I was given the time-honored initial step in the rocky path between miner and manager, that of chief car greaser-which meant as much to me as the Ptolemaic theory of Astronomy. I, nevertheless, took the gun given me, assumed a confident air, and as soon as the boss had left, asked a foreigner what I was supposed to do with. the gun. From his attempts in pidgin English .fwhich at other times would have been ludicrousl at explaining the mysteries of car greasing, I gathered that I was to examine each car as it came past my plat- form and see whether its wheels were in need of grease. IfI found a dry one, I was to take a gun full of grease, insert the nozzle into a socket on the wheel, and squirt a quart or so of grease into it. Then I was to push the car onto the scales, where the weight was taken, from there another man pushed it on the dump, where it was automatically dumped into a railroad car below. Soon a trip came. along, and I became very busy pushing the cars until I came to one, the very last in the group, which was very dry on both sides.

I endeavored to dodge, but with only partial success. u .ln i ing t at t e stupidity was mine own, I again essayed the task, with the same identical result except with less success in dodging Then I invegti ated removed ' g s the plug amid the laughter of.the other workmen, and thereafter had unequivocal success in that particular portion of work. . . . The cars were brought from the mines in batches, or trips,,' of from thirty to sixty cars. If the mines above were working double shift, we 'had long 'trips and trotted at our work until-well-nigh exhausted g if they were not, we often had as much as a half hour between trips. In the triple crew we had two college men, an ex-chorus man from a musical comedy, a Catholic semi-theologian, a professional wrestler, and me+qu1te a heterogeneous collection-but one quite common and peculiar to stab mines. During these rest-times between trips, everything from bonbons to Ein- ste1n's Theory of Relativity was discussed by the group, or else the ex-theolog and I debated the relative merits of different systems of theology. I soon began to look forward to these argumentswith a good deal of pleasure, and they helped immensely to make the day go faster and the work seem lighter. The car greaser was the weak link in the speed of the dumping, but I soon knew the individual characteristics of each car, although at first sight the two hundred odd cars looked as much alike as so many peas. I improved until I could uncouple them quite expertly, and when I had obtained a suflicient degree of accuracy I could place them faster, so that we had more and more time to rest. D By the end of my first month I Was very much interested in my work. When I got my first pay of nearly seventydollars for the first two weeks, I was supremely happy, also I was much surprised by the amount of fun I had had during the month, and upon further reiiection was equally astonished at the amount I had learned. I knew not to slap 'a mule from behind-that stunt is simply not donegthat it is a breach of etiquette to leave cars standing on a slope without brakes on, that the sand car is not to be let down without first attaching the elevator cable Cthis knowl- edge cost me the equivalent of the carpenter's wages for two days D, and that one never discusses unionism with a stranger until he has found out what the said stranger's opinions on that subject are. I had learned much more, too, all of it in the school where one does not forget easily what one has learned,-the schooliof which the class yell is Ouch ! I also regarded it as a compliment to my precocity that I had not been there two days before I learned that one does not touch the motor wire, gingerly, to see whether it is carrying juice or not-it always is! One of my favorite ways of passing the time when work was not pressing was to ride the motor back in for a trip. The motor would hook onto the first car, drag the long string slowly up the slope, and deliver them to the small motors about a mile back in the hills,'near the mine opening. Sometimes I would change to one of the smaller motors and ride inside the mines with my pal. Days when there was la wreck or cave-inf, I would get one of the smaller motors. and practice running it on the Hemptiesf' track, and soon had a fairtdegree of proficiency, several times even going into the mines 'andbringing out a trip of coal. It was not Very long after that until a motorman was hurt,.and I was placed on as a substitute motorman. What with the worry and rush, the Job was not so much of a cinch as I had thought it, although everything went along fine for the first forenoon. In the afternoon, however, I was told to take some cars down the slope S ixty-three V ' 5 I I one simian' I if to the machine shop and while serenely sailing around a turn the moltlor juglnped thi k d , shed back the cars by dint of muc san ing an traqk tiegai it Qtgiildafgfilslipelddl Again the motor Jumped, but not before I had again Th noticed a derailer on the track and had thrown the motor 1nto reverse e motor ' .. l l h d f most b the front end stopped instantaneously I did not!

I bowed, by way of acknowledg- ment, and departed for the tipple, a wiser and more contented man. No longer would I suffer pangs of agony as I shot through the darkness wondering whether I had set brakes enough, or jump with sudden worry, querying ifI had thrown all the switches or not, or yell to my palat night, Hold her, I can'tl and have him repeat it for the edification of the breakfast table the next morning I still imagined that I could run a motor with the best.

I he Mnughinn Star A True Reflection ofthe Schoolv has been the motto of The Houghton Star through the years of its common development with the college. That its beams might truly reveal the real character of our school to those whom it reaches, has been the ideal that has motivated and guided its development until it has reached its present position. Accordingly, The Star has grown from a monthly magazine at the time ofits founding in 1909 to its present form of a Weekly publication. Through various vicissitudes and Hnancial handicaps, it has come under the successive managements, still to serve in promoting its ideal. As a present Star staff, we inherit the contributions of the past and have the added responsibility of making further contributions. The immediate aim of this year's editing has been not to produce a literary organ, nor a religious publication, nor a sport journal, nor a newspaper, but rather, so to combine these phases of literary effort that they might contribute to the-fulhllment of our ideal-a true reflection ofthe school. While not a literary organ, The Star has endeavored to maintain a literary standard worthy of our College. Though not a religious publication, it has been the exponent of those moral and religious ideals which make our school distinctive. Still further, though not having the character of a sport journal or ofa mere newspaper, it has tried faithfully to report those events which make up our school life. Such a publication, we believe, will mold the lives and characters ofthe students, and will best serve the interests of the schoolls patrons. Prophetic vision is not necessary to predict a bright future for The Smr. An established financial basis together with the growth of the school will produce a Star whose beams shall ever glorify the school of its birth. , .....i..I.....w- --H -. . ..-f::1Lrzf:Y,-- QL..

The term, Christian Worker, has meant something in Houghton this year. Not only has it signified those who expect at some future time to labor in the vineyard of the Lord, but it denotes a group of young people who all through the school year have been busy for their Master. Neither distance nor discomfort, neither snows nor blizzards, have kept them from obeying the call, Go ye. Pastors of available churches have very kindly given the privilege of evening services in their churches, and a large number of such services have been held. Assistance has been given in two country Sunday Schools, and one new school has been opened. At this place, personal contact through home-visitation helped to win a way into the hearts of the people for the coming of the Gospel. One series of evangelistic services, was held in which Hfteen people sought the Lord. Besides, the entire Student Body was divided into small groups for prayer and personal work. The leaders of these groups were taken from the Christian Workers with but two exceptions. In a Student Body of approximately two hundred-fifty, the Christian Workers number seventy-four. Nineteen of these are members ofthe Theological Department, thirty-one ofthe College, and twenty-four of the High School. According to the work they hope to do, they classify as follows: ministers, twenty- two, foreign missionaries, eighteen, home missionaries, three, evangelists, two, Christian teachers, four, one evangelistic singer, one assistant pastor, one personal worker, and twenty-two who are uncertain as to their specific call. ' The world's great need is for men and women who are ready to go anywhere the Lord may direct, at any time, without question,trusting only in Him who has promised to supply all their needs, according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. We have a noble group of such young men and women, and our prayer is that the Lord of the ripened harvest fields will raise up many more laborers for work in His vineyard. 4 l l l i r w'1 r 't A TEl3llv4f-wx --f.

Expect great things from God, attempt great things for God. -William Cary This quotation has inspired many. It has also been said that Without a vision the people perish. The Senior Y. M. W. B. has endeavored this year to give people a greater vision of the Whitened harvest fields, and thus attempt great things for God, expecting great things from Him. On the first Tuesday evening of each month, programs have been rendered by the students with God's help, which have, We believe, deepened the visions of many in attendance. In the material line, also, great things have been attempted, and God has helped. For a period of about three Weeks, our Student Body and Faculty entered into a self-denial drive, giving their savings to missions. The result was that at the ingathering, We had S511 toward building a girls' dormitory in India. Besides this We support Sister Hazel Rodgers Banker in India, while the Sunday School, through, our Band, supports five native children. Both Sister Banker, a former Houghton student, and some of our native children have Written to us. This gives us a vital interest in the Work and deepens our vision. Nearly every student, all of the Faculty, and some ofthe townspeople, belong to our Band. All of our members are interested in missions, but especially thirteen. These are afiiliated With the National Volunteer Movement of college students who have heard God's deHnite call to the foreign work, and have said with Isaiah of old, Here am I, Lord, send me. At the present they are Working for God. It was a student volunteer Who first prayed through about our self-denial drive, and then suggested the plan to others. In order to interest the Student Body, the group gave a chapel program at which each one Wore a foreign costume. They desire not to let the vision grow dim, but to keep stirred up, and to stir up others. We praise God for His faithfulness to us this year. May we not lose our vision, but may it increase.

True to its name, the Athenian Literary Society has proved of great cultural and literary value to those who have participated in or attended her meetings. This year of her history boasts of a larger attendance and greater interest than formerly. BothMr. Harold Douglass, who was president the first semester, and Mr. Perry Tucker, president the second semester, directed the society with wisdom and ability. Throughout the year, the programs were of an instructive and entertaining nature. One evening was spent on current events, another in debating the Old and New Systems of Athletics , still another on the Salvation Army. Besides, Thanksgiving, Hallowe'en, and Christmas programs were rendered, each at the appropriate time. A scientific program interested the scientists while the New Year's program 'inspired all as they viewed the prospects of Houghton,s various activities. Musical numbers, either instrumental or vocal, always gave to each program the variety and enjoyment one desires and at the same time an avenue of expression for the musical ability of Houghton College. Among the most appre- ciated evenings were the two given over to Professor Hazlett's illustrated lectures on the Pilgrim Fathers in the Old World and in the New World. Like all literary students, the Athenians enjoy conversing while they eat. One delightful repast was taken in the woods in the' autumn, when her members grasped the opportunity of developing not only conversational powers but acquaintances as well. Thus, the excellent attendance, the well-planned and well-rendered programs, the efhcient and deeply-interested oHicers, besides the backing of every member, have made this the Golden Year in the history of Athenians. The talent and latent possibilities of many students found a means of expression in the society. rnauphir illitrrarg Srurirtg The Neosophic Literary Society is an organization of the Seminary Department. Its meetings are held every Monday evening from seven to eight o'clock. The purpose of the society is to promote literary interests and to develop and improve the students' ability for public speaking. ' At each meeting, some of the members give a program which is judiciously planned by a committee. At one time or another, every member participates in a program. With the help of Miss Miller, the vocal teacher, some of the male members have organized a double male quartet which is indeed worthy of mention. Many of the original readings and songs that have been rendered show the aptness of some students for literary ability. 1 From every standpoint the outlook of the society is encouraging. Last year, after paying the expenses, quite a large balance was left in the treasury. This year, the treasurer reports a still larger amount because of an additional income with few expenses. Near the beginning of the school year, numerous deficiencies were discovered in the Constitution and By-laws, therefore, the Constitution was carefully revised. Since the beginning of the society, many other organizations have been established which are powerful in drawing to them the time and attention that was once put into the society. However, the society remains an interesting and thriving factor in the Seminary. Here the students are afforded many opportunities which no other school activity gives. Seventy-three 411.

Nevertheless, there are other advantages extended to H the students, Which, although I do not place them on a plane with this supreme privilege, contribute an H h important factor to the life of a well-rounded character. H An essential phase of one's capacity is the ability to appreciate the fine arts-especially music. M ' Houghton College has been privileged to entertain and to be entertained by some of the world's most h famous artists. The name of Arthur G. Hartman is familiar to the whole violin world, both in Europe and in America. M Professor. Hartman, who formerly lived in Houghton, has more than once graced our College 'Q rostrum by his presence, and filled the chapel with those beautiful, harmonic strains which only flow from the king of all instruments when under the guiding touch of a master artist. We sincerely appre- ' ciate Professor Hartman's kindness in appearing at a' reduced price. : Also, Mme. Grey-Lhevine, another widely-heralded violinist, in her recital last December charmed Q ' a Houghton audience by her amazing skill in the art of the bow. We are anxiously awaiting a return visit next season. - For the vocal realm of music, Mr. Butler, Dean of Fine Arts College at Syracuse University, has V A furnished an enjoyable eveningls entertainment of a refined quality. The minutes rolled swiftly by as V Mr. Butlerls full baritone voice resounded through the auditorium, and before one was scarcely aware ofit, p the evening had passed. Yet, one was conscious of having received through the medium ofthe Hrst , musical instrument a deeper understanding of the harmony which exists when everything is in perfect ' Working order. This harmony is a type of the sublime harmony which prevails when the relation between man and God, and between man and his fellowmen, is perfect. ' I In regard to the field of elocution, President Southwick of Emerson College is probably the best M if reader who has ever interpreted lines of literature on our platform. But, indeed, we feel that we enjoyed M, a special treat while listening to the impersonations by this great artist-a leader in his realm. . i 'T Of illustrated lectures we have enjoyed many excellent features. In February, Mr. Edward C. Raine displayed on a screen the pictures of scenes which he had taken during his journeys through N be Alaska. His first-hand information, acquired by years of experience in Alaska was rounded into an l interesting lecture concerning that alluring land of the midnight sun. Through a stereopticon lecture in ' arranged by Dwight Hillis, pastor of the Plymouth church, at Brooklyn, N. Y., Professor Hazlett of in V our English Department imparted to us a conception of the true Puritan spirit of loyalty, perseverance, 'J . and worship. Also, by the aid of Mr. Ward Bowen of the State Educational Department we were privi- 'U' if leged to view slides of the exact representations of famous masterpieces of art in the original colors. 13 The works of such artists as, Rembrandt, Corot, Millet, Breton, Rousseau, Isreals and Bonheur were , 1 I exhibited. We are glad of these opportunities to learn a little more about the world's great painters and . ., e paintings. I -gg I have endeavored to present an idea of the conveniency which our students enjoy in learninglto gr ' appreciate the Hne arts-this appreciation, the development of which, I believe. is entirely in conformity I ' with the will of God, and which is the logical outgrowth of the inborn spirit as it craveslfor beauty, A I harmony, andperhaps most of all, purity. Did not the apostle say, . Blessed are the pure in heart, for I they shall see God. Do we not see the hand of God in his perfect gift to .man of that perfect harmony H if of music? Do we not see the hand of God in the use of that beautiful voice endowed .to man by God? nf Do we not see the hand of God in the work of celebrated artists who possess the mind, spirit, and faculties . for interpreting and portraying nature? In fact, in all things do we not see the hand of God, ifwe search fi - for it? Perhaps the very artists themselves, who develop and make use of these perfect .gifts of God, do I1 if not see Him in their accomplishments. Nevertheless, it is the privilege of every one with an pure heart ' to see God in all things. Therefore, the opportunity ofstudying and appreciating the linelarts is presented Q, ' to the students of Houghton. Seventy-five .. , ' I M n i s , , .' . l' i wipe Qlnnlhm: L ll ul I hitnrial Did you ever stop to think just why you came to Houghton where you are surrounded by an environ- ment and influences which aid in the development of one of the best characters the world can demand? Was it an accident? Or perhaps you had no volition in the matter. Houghton College was selected by your parents. You may have considered a college education as a means of later earning a livelihood. Whatever, the reason, you are here. Now that you have become adjusted to College life, what is your purpose? Are you striving to develop strength of mind and strength of will? Houghton College's concep- tion of life is a far broader one than the question of earning a living. The average student bases his success on his grades, but the real scholar works for an understanding of the subject. In short, is your college course fitting you to become a leader of men, or a storehouse of knowledge which you cannot apply to life? The world is looking to college men and women, today, for the leaders of tomorrow. The question then arises, What is a leader?', There are many qualitities which enter into leader ship, varying somewhat with the field. Among the necessary qualities is a mind trained to think inde- pendently, skilled in adaptation, and taught to observe. There must also be a tenacity of purpose and the capabgity to adhere to a view once adopted or a decision once made. As was said of Abraham Lincoln: - He held his place- Held the long purpose like a growing tree- Held on through blame and faltered not at praisef, Leadership also requires sound judgment, fit to forecast the result of action. But above all these is a sympathy that entertains the thoughts of others. A true leader expands his own life until he under- stands all lives. However, this understanding of life cannot be obtained except through Jesus Christ, the Saviour of men, the Source of Life. Only through personal acquaintance and daily fellowship with Him can we' attain to a proper conception of our relation to our fellow men. As He taught His disciples of old, even today ifwe follow Him He will make us fishers of men. Houghton College places emphasis on the development of Christian character. The Bible is taught as the Word of God, and the Guidebook of Life. In the final analysis, Houghton College differs from many others in that its mission is to train- no, not leaders but Christian leaders, not alone for the pulpits and mission fields but for the business world and other walks of life. The world needs men who will manifest the spirit of Christ in practical life, who have the red blood and backbone to uphold principles they believe to be right. As students, we view the ranks of those who have passed through Houghton's halls in bygone years. We see many of them today carrying out the purposes and ideals for which Houghton College was founded. We find them in the ranks of Christian leaders. We are proud of Houghton College, of her Christian ideals and principles. Her success in the years to come depends upon the Alumni leaving her halls from year to year. Shall we fail to carry on her mission?
