Four years ago thirty-eight papooses entered the Houghton Reservation to secure higher education. Twenty-six of these have reached the rank of big chielftain'3. We believe that our Alma Mater has influenced our lives in a Way that will mean much to us in later years. We do not all know what professions the future may hold for us, but next year some will be teachers, preachers, and business men, while a few will continue their school work. In our college days we sought to develop the fourfold life. For this reason we participated in the religious, the athletic and the social realms of our school as well as the scholastic. The class boasts of athletic stars. Our boys' basket- ball team gained second place in the class series While the girls' team was not so successful, nevertheless, they showed the spirit of real sportsmanship. Six of our boys and four of our girls played on the Purple and Gold' basketball squads, while three members have been successful in tennis tournaments. Other branches of sport have been participated in with equal success. Besides this, we have supplied officers for most of the student activities. Social functions have predominated from time to time. Especially in our senior year, we have enjoyed numerous parties and jolly frolics. These gather- ings have ranged from early morning breakfasts to late midnight feeds, and from outdoor steak roasts to dignified' formal banquets. It was during these seasons of fun that we became intimately acquainted and interested in each other. With all our pleasure and fun We did not forget .our object in coming here. In spite of our participation in school activities, we have not neglected scholastic standards, and a number of our members have appeared on the honor roll each t.ime. During our senior year we have maintained the highest scholastic average. XVe are proud to say that two of our number Will be on the faculties of our XVesleyan schools. Also, two are completing both the theological and college courses. Perhaps the spiritual atmosphere has had the greatest influence on our characters. Our education has been directed by a faculty Whose chief object has been to glorify God. Their spirit-filled lives have often inspired us toward the deeper things of life. Each member of the class of '27 is leaving With a greater conception of God, while the majority have a practical knowledge of His sa.ving grace. Undoubtedly, the greatest source of the spiritual success of the group has been found in the class prayer-meetings, which have been held every Wfednesday evening in the theological room. .The senior tribe has assembled at this scenic spot on the Genesee from various sections. Most of them claim the Empire State as their home, but some are from the Hoosier, the Keystone, and the Wolverine. . -R-egretfully, we leave our Alma Mater. Words cannot express our appre- ciation for what she has done for us, and We sincerely hope the links of the chain which bind us to her may never be broken. 1 E261 Eta, If 111 H' wif. .

Contrary to the usual custom among Indians, the maidens weregiven a voice in the affairs of their tribal government. They selected Celia Williams to record the events of thhaelgpspglnclls and conquests. To Alta Albro fell the task of guarding the ' According to the tradition of the General Council, it was decreed tha.t this tribe of Senecas should record the history of its members and that of the other neighboring Iroquois. At the Thanksgiving Festival, all joined in praise of the former warriors and of the living Senior chieftains who made it possible for the present tribes to gain success. During this ceremony, the Braves gathered Iblefore Shi-ex ccginciifire and solemnly de-dicated this year book, The Boulder, to eonar . oug ton. After these preliminary exercises, they bent every effort to accomplish the task assigned to them. Long into the night they sat before their wigwams and camp-fires listening to the warriors' legends, which they gradually wove into at beautiful book. Intermingled with these lengends were true experiences en- countered by various tribes. Other Braves crouched before their tepees, making pictures of Indian life for our book of out-door romance. Let us disclose some of the activities of the Junior Braves during this year: On the fifth dlay of the tenth moon, occurred the first war dance of this tribe to announce the coming festival given by the Braves for the bene-fit of the year book. The maidens combated with some of the squaws in a game of basketball. The o onents were so evenly matched that the result of the contest was a tie. PP ' Peace continued between the factions. . The maidens and warriors of this tribe participated in contests with the surrounding bands. The Tree Festival was give-n by the Braves in the fifth moon in honor of the Senior Chieftains. Wampum belts o-f friendship and love were exchanged. Fo-ur times each moon, these faithful Braves met to offer praise to their Creator, as according to the faith o-f their ancestors. They believed that it was natural to be honorable and truthful, and cowardly to lie. .To thank the Great Spirit continually was the object of their prayer, they did not seek to instruct Him with regards to His control of earth or the celestial world, for they had faith that in his wisdom, He knew what was right and best. . . Such was the faith of the Senecas. Our aim in higher education is to elevate not only ourselves, but mankind as a whole. l55l , w Q. UV? 88 'xK .vw 'fl lee Jonsgy ,f .

They were full of vigor and animation, and showed signs of great possibilities for tl1e future when they would become full-grown braves. Such was the entrance of the largest class into Houghton College. They were a verdant but promising group of Freshmen. The class entered into the various college activities with great zeal, and although they were hut in their infancy and quite unsophisticated, they soon began to contribute to the success of the school. They have offered their time and talent to several activities. The class is represented in the Orchestra, the Glee Club, and the Stat' staff. Three Freshmen are olficers of the Athenian Literary Society, While one is an oficer of the Student Body. The talent of the class has also been demonstrated in other fields. In basketball, the F1-osh teams captured the yvomen's class championship, and took third place in the 1nen's class series. The captain of the Purple girls is also a member of the Freshman class. - . The Freshies claim recognition 11ot onlv in athletics but also in scholarship, for they have several representatives on the College Honor Roll.

Social reformers and tem- perance agitators could not make a greater mistake than by following the ex- ample of the Puritans and tabooing all pleasure. They ought to distinguish between these that have a tendency to excess and Vice, and those that are harmless and ennobling, encouraging the latter in every possible way. And first among those that should be encouraged is music, because it is always ennobling, and can he enjoyed simultaneously by the greatest number. Its effect is well described in Margaret Fuller's private journal: I felt raised above all care, all pain, all fear, and every taint of vulgarity was washed out of the worldf' That is precisely wherein the moral power of music lies, for vulgarity is the twin sister of vice. -HENRY T.

This is -as it should be, for the Music Department holds a very important pos1t1on in the affairs of Houghton College. After an inspection of this Department by Dr. Russell Carter, Who made a favorable report to the Department of Education, the state ' ' granted the school the right to give college credit for music. This en- ables one to make a major of twenty-four hours in music. Also, the college has will be given next year. received permission to put in. a full curriculum of Public School music, which The Piano Department is still under the very able direction of Miss Ella M. Hillpot. During the past year this section of musical activity has 'grown rapidly. About sixty pupils are taking piano lessons at the present time, and forty students are registered in the Theory Department. Mr. Alfred Kreck- man, who graduated from the Piano Department last year, is acting as assistant instructor. The growth of the Vocal Department under the supervision of Professor Herman Baker, has been remarkable. About fifty-five students have registered for voice training during the year, which is an enrollment far in excess of the usual number. Professor Baker came to us for the first time this year, and ex- pects to continue his Work at Houghton another period. Mention should be made here of the Houghton College Chorus, an organi- zation of over ninety members, which was newly formed this year. On De- cember 14, 1926, the chorus presented Bethlehem by J . H. Maunder. Evi- dence of Professor Baker 'fs unusual ability as a musical leader has often been given through the efforts of the Orchestra and Glee club, two organizations of merit.

Such is the earnest prayer and sincere purpose of each member of our School of Theology. We realize that a Christless education will damn one's own soul. and iniiuence countless others towards destruction. We see examples of this on every hand in these latter days. Nevertheless, While higher critics and infidels are attacking the deity of Christ an-d the inspiration of the Word of God, fundamentals of our faith, we are glad to lend all our strength to the forces of righteousness in our land. Under the wise guid- ance of a faculty of men and women, Spirit-filled and wholly consecrated to God, We have been able to escape these Whirlpools of unsound doctrines that are enguliing so many, and become established in the Rock, Christ Jesus. We appreciate this as a privilege which is becoming scarcer every year in institutions of learning. The graduating class this year numbers eight, of whom th1'ee also graduate from college this June, and three mo1'e will grad-uate from the latter school next year. Three of the class are prospective foreign missionaries. three will enter the ministry, one has chosen home mission Work, and the other, Christian teaching. Besides receiving a high grade of instruction in the courses ofered, they have been privileged also to gain some practical experience in preaching, singing, and conducting gospel services in the neigh- boring towns of Houghton. We sincerely hope that this department which is. in the last analysis. the training school of the future leaders of our church, may continue to advance. ever holding high, not only its scholastic standards, but also the principles which its motto en1bodies- I-Io1i- ness unto the Lord. 1 I4-31 4 1 J 4 1 l 4 E JL .A in V, .W , .

The fun of iishing apples from a pan of water, and the pleasure produced by various other pranks which were performed, made this evening pass away too quickly. Scene IV: Here athletics enter in. A goodly number of our class are real athletes. Those of us who are not 'professionals , do our part by cheering at the various games, and en- couraging those who do take an active part. Several members of our class played in the Purple and Gold series this year. Scene Y: The spring of the year has already come. The Juniors have put on their cloaks of diguilty. and are inviting the Seniors to a banquet. Yes, the Sophomores must help them out. Seven of us had the-shall we say honor-yea! the privilege of Waiting on this distinguished Junior-Senior goup. ' Scene YI: Work and play have a prominent place in our lives, but in the midst of all this, we as a class. do not forget the One from whom every good and perfect gift com-eth. We, as a class. aim to prepare ourselves by taking advantage of all the opportunities oifered us. that we may help uplift humanity, and brighten the World. Wi'th this in view. we look forward with pleasant anticipation -to the days which are to come. T521 Q? .5 . 5 . Q -ff, If- - W d i lf: ' x R -1. ,K N -. 'Ly ' iid IVY!

Scene I: The school year of 1926-27 opened with 'twenty-six enthusiastic freshmen. In Sep- tember We met for organization, and the election of oiicers. Scene II: In October, We enjoyed our first social event, a wiener roast. Plans were made for a journey to the springg but the day proved to be of a rainy nature, and we were forced 'to hold our hot dog roast in the camp ground dining hall. Our entire company, including the class mother, entered into the fun and frolic wi-th surprising zest. I-Iot dogs never tasted better than they did that night, and an amazing number were con- sumed without any unfavorable results. Before breaking up, rousing cheers were given for the Freshman class, our class mother, and Houghton Seminary. Scene III: As Hallowe'en approached. this wide-awake class met in a dark and spooky attic for a general good time. After the iirst shock of meeting ghosts in every nook was over, a very enjoyable program was rendered, and the time S0011 came to disband. Scene IV: At the beginning of the second semester. some of our number left. Others joined our ranks, however, making a total of twen-ty-seven members. Scene V: In May we emphasized our joy for the return of spring by a picnic. The efficiency of the entertaimnent and eats committees was proved by the success of the afternoon. Stories were told.. and games played around a blazing campfire. After once again cheer- ing for our Alma Ma-ter. class mother. and fellow students. the curtain dropped. thus ending the first act of dramatic Seminary life. If a good beginning is prophetic of a good ending. we are all certain that the remaining years of our high school career will be successful. l53l 54 fmn 'mf - M A fm 1. ,QQ ,JR M2531 ' ff K' 113 'H+ S.6Roverv.

PAUL STEESE, President The old law still holds true which emphasizes the fact that the greatest element in sports is clean sportsmanship. Peter displays the characteristics of a true sportsman in an illumi- nating manner. He is undoubtedly Houghton's best. GERALD SCOTT, Vice P7'68i6l:6'l'l,-t A little sunshine now and then is needed to make the world go 'round. Scottie can smile when everything apparently goes wrong. I-Ie lends a cheerful mood to Houghton's athletics. X7ERA IHATTOON, Secretary V has repeatedly demonstrated her athletic prowess as a member of the Champion Purple Girls' basketball team. She represented no small factor in the Purple Girls' successful 1927 season. ' ALLEN BAKER, Physical Director Professor Baker's athletic ability is well- known to Houghton students. As a former member of the famous Gold' team, he gained a name for himself. Now as physical director, he is earning a reputation for eEiciency. CHARLES HOWVLAND, Treasurer. The Gold men will lose a powerful leader and true sportsman when Chuck Howland grad- uates this June. May he be as successful in the great, wide world as he has been in Hough- ton on the basketball floor, the baseball Held, and the cinder track. D561 'Vw 'N -173--. si' 'm 11 Nik X..-' 'M 'lla 1-'1.

I-Ie is a first rate contender in every branch of Hough- ton's athletics. His past records and his pres- ent popularity prove that the Purple group made no mistake in their choice of captain. EILEEN LOFTIS t'Quee11 Loftis. capable floor captain of the 1925-'26 basketball champions, was chosen to lead the Purple girls. If anyone doubts Queen's athletic ability, they should' see her perform on the basketball floor and tennis courts. Her specialty is basketball in which her remarkable determination is of great value to her. CHARLES HOWVLAND The Gold men elected Charles Howland, a Senior, to pilot them in their 1926-'27 athletic activities. The diminutive curly-t-op willbe missed by the Gold next year. and his athletic achievements will not soon be forgotten. Hle is a star on the track and the basketball court. ERMA ANDERSON Erma. Anderson, the versatile captain of the Gold girls in 1925-'26, was again selected as their leader. Erm's general athletic prowess -she ranks with the best in three branches of sport-as Well as her ability as a leader, give her this foremost. position with the Gold. i631 'Q N Nz ... wf WN . 5 i K' 'T'-fi ivg'T..9g5 'N hi' ui!!

XVe, as a staff, have striven with all our might to improve the year book, and believe that our efforts have not been in vain. It has not been an easy task. There have been many obstacles which vve were fo-rced to overcome. Nevertheless, through perseverance and a keen interest to see our labors bring forth fruit, we have been able to publish the present book. In our experience as staff members, We have found that the greatest factor in assuring a successful publication, is a Willingness to accept responsibility. Co-operation, as commonly employed, is an essential for a smooth-Working edi- torial staff. Nevertheless, individual acceptance of responsibility independent of others, is a far greater asset. As a staff, We have attempted, not only to Work together, but also to shoulder our individual tasks. That this Boul-clefr may act as a true representative of the Christian school of which We are a part, is our greatest desire. f76l . 9- Lg f nz.

The purpose of the movement is not S J simply subjective. It aims to create missionary zeal in the heartsgof those who are preparing for Christian work and to turn their attention toward the neglected areas of the globe. Connected with this great national organization is a small group of enthusi- astic young people in our college. Under the efficient leadership of Mr. Robert Hess, they have been seeking to increase their knowledge of conditions existing in unevangelized nations today by a careful study of the great Moslem World. The results of their eiiiorts have found expression in several programs rendered under the auspices of the Mission Study Class. The volunteers are not idle while they prepare. Many of them are taking an active part in the extension work of the school. and the Lord has blessed their efforts. Wife have reason to believe that among them are those Who will go forth to bless the world and aid in making the kingdoms of the ,World the kingdoms of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

Since its formation in 1911, the society has had a continuous and steady growth until now its roll call exceeds eighty members. The Athenian Literary Society meets every Monday evening in College chapel. Its aim is to give enterta.inment, instruction, and training for public Work. The programs are always of high quality, and include studies in literature, musical numbers, debates, and studies in art. Frequently, the pro- grams are rendered in co-operation with the Oratory and Music departments of Houghton College. Members of the faculty are often secured as speakers. One feature of this year 's work was an art demonstration by Mr. Harry NVood, of New York City. Mr. Vlfood is illustrator for the L!IfI'Zi0S Home Journal and several other magazines. That the Athenian Literary Society is a. success, and that it has a very real place in college life is attested by the fact that each Monday evening sees the chapel well filled with students and townspeople. te . :fun l I Qi F .ffl ggiiv l79l Uhr rnznphir Elitrrarg Snririg OFFICERS.

The Neosophic Literary Society of Houghton Seminary Was organized in the fall of 188-l. The same consti-tution and by-laws as were made then are still in use, although a few revisions have been made. The regular meetings of this society Were to be held on Friday evening of each week. commencing at seven o'clock, and continuing not later than nine-fifteen p. m. The entrance fee was twenty-five cents, while noW it is only ten cents. The programs consisted of debates, musical numbers, and select readings. The society is proud of its past. but rejoices in the present. Although we give but one hour each week to our society. which is from six-thirty to seven-thirty o'clock every Mon- day evening. we are benefited by it, not only along literary lines, but also in spiritual Ways.

In the individual, it develops the physical being through its physio- v', 5 Er: psycho-therapy, and brings about freedom and eo-ordination of muscles, ' producing poise and erect bearing in the body which is always at- tractive in both teacher and public speaker. The vocal exercises not only de- velop pleasing qualities, in the voice, but also perform their task of muscle-tone and mental hygiene. 'W ith health produced in both mind and body, the mem- ory selections now play an important function by bringing about co-ordination of mind and body. Witli these vital results, oratory serves as a splendid health tonic. Oratory in its perfect form is an art in which the soul expresses itself through the physical and mental agents, and has the spiritual hypnotic power to iilm the varied pictures of creative imagination on the minds of many individ- uals of an audience. Oratory deepens the spiritual life, for as the eyes are the Windows of the soul, so the voice is the trumpet of the soul and registers the depth and power of sincerity from within. It reveals a man's self to himself, and creates a ke-en desire to mold life after the great pattern. in order that the truth revealed may be upon the highest plane of art. VVit.h body, mind and soul in perfect eo-ordination, the student of oratory is ready to attempt great tasks for God in the class room as a teacher. in the pulpit as a preacher, and on the public platform as a lecturer. l31l Ellie fllllianinn Svtuhg 0112155 Among all the school activities in Houghton, Mission Study has its own peculiar delights. This year we have gone on a world tour with the great mis- sionaries. We have treked the trackless jungles of Africa with David Living- ston, braved China's perils with Robert Morrison, suffered the tortures of a slave-driver's prison with Adoniram Judson. Hope, courage, and inspiration were gained as we studied the lives of these great men. The Student Volunteers put on four programs which gave us glimpses of the Moslem world. The life and religion of Mohammed and the Moslems of Arabia, Africa, and India were all pictured to us in an effective manner. The last program, in which four students appeared in the native costumes of India, Arabia, and Persia, was particularly impressive. Another feature was a talk by Miss Rothermel on Dr. Grenfell's work in the Labrador. As Miss Rothermel had spent a summer in Dr. Grenfell's hos- pital, she was able to give us a very vivid account of the great missionary and his accomplishments among the fisherfolk of Labrador. The Mission Study Class has been a decided success. The programs have been both entertaining and inspirational, the attendance has been large, and each one who has attended feels that he at least has caught a glimpse of that flame which sends forth the Taylors, the Livingstons, and the Morrisons to be blessings to the world. Uhr .Svrninr 13. HH. M. if. There are several different phases to the religious life in Houghton College and Seminary, one of which is the Senior Y.'M. W. B. True to its name of Young Missionary Worker's Band, this organizatio-n has been faithfully en- deavoring to train young men and Women for foreign Work, and in the past quarter of a century forty missionaries have been sent from Houghton to carry the gospel to darkened lands. Thus, our band has been represented in Africa, India, Japan, and South America, and is represented in India this year. The total Band membership is one hundred and thirty-nine. The first Tuesday evening in each month, a program is rendered by the members of the Band. These services consist of spirit-illed talks upon the qualifications of missionaries, why we are going to be missionaries, the needs of the various fields, the results of the work as shown by letters from the natives themselves, and other similar topics. The final program of the school year is given annually on the evening of Baccalaureate Sunday. The address is usually given by a returned missionary, and at this time pledges are taken for the support of Mrs. Hazel Banker, our representative in India. Also, We are supporting one native worker and one native preacher in Japan. Through the Sunday School we are caring for three native Japanese children. The total receipts for the year areeight hundred and eighty-eight dollars. Surely God has been using this institution in the futherance of His Gospel and We praise Him for it.

Yet the powerful connotation of that word responszbzlzty still remains, an influence which determines the ultimate gdb success .of every career. Wlio brought the comforts of our present A ' civilization? Those who have gone on before. lVhat produces the bread which nourishes our bodies? The labor of hands not our own. Where can We find the cause for everyday advantages? Hidden in the past responsi- bility gladly born by others. Throughout the United States of America today, the cry for men who will shoulder responsibility and march gallantly forward to success, is becoming more and more distinct. How many weak hearts we see faint at the call! Afraid to perform their duty? Unwilling to do their part Yes. paralyzed at the thought of carrying out the project alone. And thus, innumerable tasks are shifted to the already over-burdened back of another. Perhaps all men are not equally fitted for the same duty, perhaps some are weaker than their neighbors, but when the demand for action comes, instead of sullenly shirking, how much better it is to nobly respond, f'Here am I. I will do my best. When the great World War was at its height, men found little chance to quaver. They were forced to accept the commands of superiors, and to iight for the honor of their country. Yet, granting the element of force and neces- sity, even beyond' these factors, We see the willing spirit of patriotic men. For as a great, united Whole, we find comparatively few attempts to shun obliga- tion, few instances where trust was ill-placed. Men felt their responsibility. understood the expectations of loved ones, and determined to carry their share of the burden. But now that the dove of peace again commands our respect. we find people lazily settling down to their individual work in their own little spheres. and the old axiom Don't put off 'till tomorrow that which can be done today, becoming positive in its aspect and meaning. Vile will grant that in many instances, perhaps in the majority of instances, this is not so, but all too large a number of individuals show these tendencies towards laxity. They seem un- able to comprehend the importance of their mission in life, unable to understand that, in one sense of the word, their work is a. complement of all other human endeavor, and is necessary to make the wheel of life run smoothly. Students, the greatest fault of the lmman race is the shirking of responsi- bility. VVhen someone who has a. right to do so, asks you to accomplish a speclfic task, don't say half-heartedly, Let Jack do that. Muster your will power and self-confidence, realize the hindrance that objection will cause to the one who asks you to labor, than Smilingly Say, l'll try.

I lay down again, determined to at f I IJ - ' shake off my foolish fears and go to sleep. But sleep would not come to meg apparently I was not to forget my fears so easily. Why had I awakened so suddenly, feeling that there was evil abroad? Per- haps prowling burglars had roused me from my -sleep. ' But no! I could hear no sound, everything was shrouded in the dead quiet of night. Ah! at last there came to me what seemed for the time the answer to- my question. I must have had a troubled dream. But as I tried to recall my dream, my mind seemed absolutely blank. Try as I might, I could not rid myself of the con- clusion that something had gone wrong that night. Realizing that it was useless for me to attempt sleeping, I picked up a book and started to read. For perhaps ten minutes I scanned the pages, not know- ing what I read. My nervousness was increasing, and I was sure that before long I would be completely overcome. The immense stillness affected me and I strained my ears for some sound that would break the mono-tony of it. I could hear only the regular ticking of the grandfather's clock in the hall. At last, desperate, I resolved to awaken my father. Just to know that he was awake would dispel my fears at once. Slipping on my bath robe, I went out into the hall. At the farther end of the corridor I came to Daddy's room. Softly I tapped on the door. He did not answer. Still louder I knocked, but still I heard not the reassuring sound of his voice. Each time after I called to him, I listened. There came no sound from within. Alarmed, I opened the door. Snapping on the light I looked toward the bed. It was empty. Nor had it been slept in that night. VVhere could Daddy be? I-Ie surely had come home, for never did he stay out so late. Ah! perhaps he was down stairs reading. Strange I hadn't thought of that before. I ran down the stairway swiftly. Yes, there was a light in the living room. How he would laugh when I told him how frightened I had been. Entering the room, I glanced toward the fireplace. In his customary chair before it sat Daddy, seemingly asleep. I ran to his side, but as I looked at f83l Nu, , . --.jf ,, I, E A :ssl 'vm egmtek.

For there on the hearth 681 e ls C au, lay 3 bloody razor that had done the deed. Horrified. I screamed. ' Then I must have fainted, for the next thing I knew I was lying on the davenport, and bending over me was Dr. Green, our family physician. In the corner of the room stood Mrs. Barnes, our whimsical housekeeper, talking to a man I took to be a detective. When he saw that I had recovered, he came over and :started to question me. I told him my story, but he acted very queer and looked at me suspiciously. What! did he suspect me of murdering my own father? Well, they couldn't prove me guilty of a deed I hadn't done. He had no right to form opinions so quickly. However, after a few minutes he left, saying that an inquest would be held in the afternoon, and that I would be ex- pected to be present. Dr. Green, seeing that I was very upset, advised me to call up my Aunt Sue and to get her, if I could, to come over and spend the rest of the night with us. Calling her up, I received the reassuring answer that she and Uncle Bob would be right over. One-thirty p. m. saw me again in the living room, where the inquest was being held. I was the first one called upon to speak. In careful detail I told how I had awakened in a nervous state of mind, had gone to eall my father, and had finally discovered him sitting in his chair, his throat gashed. 'How did I account for that strange feeling I had awakened with-that feeling that something had ha.ppened?7' they asked me. f'At first, I could not account for it, I explained, but soon I decided that I must have had a bad dream. I could not recall it at the time. but this forenoon it came to me distinctly. I did not intend to tell them of my dream, for it was so dreadful that it made me shudder to think of it. Anyway. what difference could a little detail like that make? HWould you mind telling us what you dreamed? the detective asked me. '4It was too awful-I could not relate it, I tried to explain. I must insist that you tell it, he said half-kindly. 'It may prove im- portant, you know. Bracing myself for the ordeal, I began: I dreamed that il was upstairs in my room reading, when I heard someone at the front door. .I ran to the head of the stairs arriving there in time to see a man enter the hall. a man I thought to be Mr. Carnahan, the scoundrel that had cheated my fatxier out ot half a million dollars two years ago. 'How dare he enter the house of his worst foe?, I asked myself. I walked down the stairs noiselessly. and with my eyes fouowed his every move. I saw him go to the library table. open a drawer, I89l take out some papers, then go to sit down in Daddy 's chair. Oh! how I hated him! I would kill him, I decided. He had no right to be snooping' through other people's papers and he'd have to suffer. Silently, I stole back upstairs, into the bathroom and got Daddy's razor. Then -I could not finish, but sank weakly into my chair. A a'Oontinue, ordered the detective, and too exhausted to object, I went on. Then-then, I stammered, I came downstairs and into the dining room. There he sat with his back toward me, looking over the stolen papers. Silently I crept up behind him, and with the ugly razor gashed his thro-at. I thought he screamed Cah! I seem to still hear ringing in my ears the echo of his cryj. Then satisfied that I had done my duty, I went upstairs to bed. That is all I have to tell. Now has that helped to solve the mystery any? I asked anxiously. The mystery is already solved as far as I am concerned, said the de- tective, and then abruptly, Mrs, Barnes, repeat what you told me this morning. Dazed, I listened to the words that fell from the housekeeper 's lips. She had seen me during the night, apparently walking in my sleep, she said, but since she had been warned not to wake me when I was found meandering like that, she had not interfered. She saw me go down stairs, carrying in my hand something that shone. Curious to know what I was about, she followed me. Breathlessly she watched me enter the living room and wield that awful razor that had meant my father is death. Frightened lest she be suspected, she had run to her room. Orouched there in the darkness, she had heard me leave my room, go to Daddy 's door, and finally go downstairs. Anxiously, she had listened to see what affect the scene downstairs would have upon me. On hearing my scream, she had run to the living room where she found me lying in a dead faint. After calling the doctor and notifying the police station, she had tried to puzzle out the situation. At last, light came to her, she said. I had killed my father. ' Ah! I understood it clearly, then. In my sleep I mistook my beloved father for the man I so despised. ' A Oh! Sleep, thou art cruel. Thou, no-t I, brought cruel death to the one I loved best, and now, thou hast forsaken me. Come back, Oh ! Sleep, and erase from my troubled heart these awful memories.

A saleswoman: dld YOU Say? EV6I'ybody's selling books this summer. Well I wi ..' P - ' . , Sh You success it s a good experience. Famous men made their start that WHYV At that remark I glowed with satisfaction over the choice of work I had made. I saw a picture of myself, a renomied, distinguished woman-a woman who knew humankind so well that she could artfully reach the hardest heart armored with prejudice, jealousy, fear, or sorrow. I dreamed of myself as being loved and respected both for my unbounded benevolence and for my kindly heart. Oh, yes, I was sure that salesmanship was going to give me that insight, that tact, that polish, in fact that complete equipment so indispen- sable to a leader. Besides this future advantage o-f salesmanship, I expected some immediate recompense. Oh, certainly, they said, you can make good money. So-and so made one hundred twenty-five dollars in eleven days. This time I had a vision of a month or six weeks' vacation. W0llldH,t it be grand? In no time I would have enough money accredited to me to finance my last year of college and then-oh, I'd take a real vacation! Air castles towered and sparkled won- dro-usly. At last I had found a job just suited to the needs of my purse. Buoyant with hope and anticipation, and quaking with fears Cespeeially when alonej, I set out for the city where my adventurous career awaited me. My fellow partner-to-be had preceded me, and had wisely or unwisely refrained from sending me a report of her efforts. The night I rejoined her and heard of her marvelous success, I scarcely slept, so anxious was I for the dawning of that morning which would open the world to me. To say that I walked ten miles that day is to give a most conservative estimate of the distance. Although my feet felt as though I had been making some long, weary journey for penance's sake, yet I was elated with joy over my achievements. I had made more money on my first day than my sister saleswoman had ever made in the same length of time. Inasmuch as the first day is always the poorest, I saw myself quitting in a week or two, rich as Croesus. Pecuniary returns were not the only results of my new avoeation. As the days passed by, my brain grew wiser, my body more weary, and my hopes more torlorn. Money came about as dependably as Hoodle-bug on the Pennsy .. Sunburns painfully afflicted my soft white skin, so eontinously made to blush with constant indignation at the strenuous kisses of the sun. Blisters. sores, and eallouses shackled my feet so that mv shoes which had been too large were strained to the l91l utmost limit to contain them. Furthermore, my left arm and sho-ulder, although accustomed to carrying Snyder and Martyn, J ames' Psychology, McEvoy, Ovid, and Graves, were not used to doing so, for eight or nine hours daily with no let-up. Writer's cramp I had heard of before 5 a salesman's cramp I had now acquired. Since it takes all kinds of people to make up a world, and variety is the spice of life, my city was the world. In it I saw the best and worst side of humanity and in many cases the worst side of the best people. Sometimes, faces appeared at the door, so stony and cold that one would think that the Gorgon's gaze had changed them into marble. A few times I was mistaken by misinter- preting the reflections on the face, that o-ft-accounted mirro-r of the soul. Even when I couldn't make a sale, I found it supreme pleasure, yes, and something of a feat, to turn a frowning face into sweetest smiles by a compliment for some choice flower, a prized piece of work, or the little dimpled cherub cooing at his mother's side. One time after being materially encouraged by a doughnut, I was sent to a minister who kindly wrote me an excellent recommendation for my books. On another occasion I was directed to a preacher who very saucily and abruptly told me to withdraw. I' shook the dust from my feet while I wondered at the sample of his ministerial hospitality. I was far more successful in an interview with another young preacher. He, too, at first treated ,me most coldly and was intent upon closing the door, but with determined emo-tion I said to myself, Young man, you're going to treat me withcourtesy before I leave o-r my name isn't-- It was like breaking ice on the Hudson Bay the twentieth day of January, but I succeeded beautifully in reducing his foreboding face to one of smiles. He acknowledged my honest appearance, wished me increasing. succe-ss, and hoped I would not think ill of him for his refusal to grant me references. I bowed myself away, in my own estimation, a veritable conqueror. Upon reaching the entrance of a certain house, I rang the bell, and as usual began my talk the moment the lady appeared. She stopped me abruptly and began to close the door, so I asked her the name of the next resident. Her answer was, Can't you sell without knowing the names? I never tell anyonefs name ! There was an emphatic bang, and lo, I stood gazing at the closed door. This woman like many others showed open hostility to my occupation, but some peo-ple, either because of a more cowardly or timid disposition told justifiable lies, justifiable because some people are not entitled to the truth. XVhile wildly attempting to create interest in a certain ladty, she informed me that she had no children for whom to purchase my book. I departed, but when I rea.ched the sidewalk I was met by a bright, open-faced child who- unceremo- niously approached me. I took her to be a daughter of the family next door. In answer to my questions, I discovered instead that she, was the daughter of the very woman who had rashly declared she had none. The little maid had E921 . N5 ILNW xl 'S T1 in I K IW!

Some Hralked beside me While We chatted about 3 fond JUOY Oli f3V01qil39 Sport. Once a. little girl threw a kiss at-meg several persuaded their mothers to buy. The lessons I learned from the Chlldren Were decldedly beneficial in my work. To meet one of these jewels was to chance upon a delicate, fragrant flower lifting its cheery head from the midst of barren surroundings. Often I breathed a prayer, as one of the little folks left me, that I might keep that human touch so loving and warm in my breast, and never let it grow wasted and warped by years, as so many older people have apparently done. Fortunately for me and my scanty store of patience, some age-mellowed spirits still glowed with love and tenderness. A former missionary to India gave me a royal welcome. After a bit of wholesome advice, she added these wo-rds, God bless you! You have brought a heap of sunshine to me, my child. I feel rested, indeedl. Your bright eyes and smiling face bring cheer wherever they go. I was pleased and yet perplexed to know the reason why more did not see as she did. To many I appeared to be a dangerous personage, or perhaps a carrier of some contagious disease whose grip was fatal. The days slipped by, crowded with novel excitement. My friend and I had canvassed the city from the lake to the hill, and even into the suburbs. Because we were received with more hospitality in the latter, we straightway canvassed all within our reach. With bags full of lunch, pocket-books and prospectuses, we set out daily. We divided our territory for the morning and met at noon at so-me appointed corner. What a pleasure it was to hunt for some out-of-doors dining parlor! Beside a bro-ok, on a hill, under a tree, in sight or out of sight., it made no difference to us so lo-ng as we could find a resting place wherein to satiate our much-demanding appetites. Don't for a minute think that we did not furnish amusement for the citizens of these little burgs. Children knew us, as well as those of former days knew the Pied' Piper of I-Iamelin, and spoke to us as old-time friends. Peculiar and curious glances met us fro-m every direction until we were unconscious of every- thing but ourselves and our tremendous problems. Q We walked as much as time and distance permitted, for remember pcnnie.. make dollars Oddly enough, more than one kind-hearted stranger took us in and thus proved himself a twentieth century Samaritan. The effects of these lone- tpamps Stayed by me night and day. Besides, the words gathered from the I d nbidden the paths of my brain I never real- numero-us interviews traverse u - V V fe R .

I have to ask my husband , reminds me of a good joke on myself. I was met with, Haven't I seen you before in--6? Your husband died, didn't he? I blushed and declared she had never seen me and that I had never had a husband to die. When the time for the first delivery arrived, you should have seen my friend and me. Books are heavy, you know, and attempting to carry ten or or a dozen is like trying to use one's self for a dray horse. Why not take a car? Well, why didn't we? We could never have reached theyhigh car step without losing a couple o-f our books or all of them, besides bringing upo-n our heads the curses of the motorman and words of like nature from the crowd. To to-p it all, nearly everyone managed to be out. Sometimes we were greeted with excuses more varied and numero-us than you could guess. Perhaps they had forgotten so that there was no money on hand, or some misfortune had unexpectedly taken it all. Again, the husband's reproof or absolute command forbade the poor woman to take her order. Fortunately for the ' 'Adam' ' that he was no-t present to hear the blame his Eve heaped upon him. At other times, we found receptions fit for royalty. ' - Book-selling is a wonderful life, full of adventure, exploration, discovery. But its chief benefits lie in making one realize that street salesmen have a little more feeling than stone walls CI shall always have fellow sympathy for the poor wretchesj 5 that dark, prison-like doors shut from view beings as forbidding as themselves, and that mere housekeeping is one of the most delightful occupa- tions in the world. I-Iow I did enjoy meeting comfortable folks , what a delight it was to enter the door of a light, cheery cottage-home, ho-w pleasurable indeed to transform a dirty room into a clean one, arranging the chairs that couldn't close the door in my face, and washing the dishes that never said, HI ca.n't . I simply have no affinity for polite begging? Two weeks suffices me!

Students usually enter singly, but depart in pairs. Success has marked its every effort. Advantages D The Cottage is prepared to provide any course that two or more students desire to elect, the teacher being chosen by the students, subject to the immediate dismissal for any interference with social activities. In this last feature Hough- ton stands- as a pioneer in America. The system has resulted efficiently in reducing the amount of work done to a minimum. H ortioult-urat Contests Each year the students conduct a Horticultural Contest open to all under- graduates. For this a prize has been established, furnished by the income from what is called the Conscience Fund, contributed by the class of 1520. The student who presents the most successful mustache receives first prize of fifty dollars, the next most successful one draws twenty-five plunkers. It is custom- ary for the winners to pool the proceeds and go get a shave. . Lectures At frequent intervals lectures are given in the cottage chapel by men of note Cand some who can't read a noteb. The dean of the school leads the public music. Social Life The students are given as much liberty as any group could wish. .The events o-f a social nature take place on Monday, Tuesday, lllednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights, ONLY.

LJ TJ fl X max ,I v Q K 5 5' 1261 Uhr Blunt math When the midnight oil is burning low, And the night is almost spent, When the numb, cramped fingers move full slow, And the back is badly bent, Then We wonder, blankly wonder- ls the toiling all worth while? Will We ever be rewarded? Will the hard World ever smile? When the Profs all crab and scold us well For exams which We have missed, When out of a merchantman's door we fell, By the toe of a nailed boot kissed, When an ad seemed like a gold mine, And just as hard to get, Then we felt that life was useless, That death was our best bet. When no one could think of a verse or a joke, When no one would give us a lift, When every student appeared near broke, With April approaching swift, When copy was scarce as hen's teeth, No money coming in, lt looked as though we'd perish, That Failure would surely win. We were tired, and weary, and really blue Through the moments of doubt and fear, But the most of our work was pleasure true, The most of our work was dear. The thrill of a finished product ls kick in itself enough. We've tried to improve The Boulderg We haven't been pulling a bluff. ' Best of Luck, Virgil H. Hussey-Editor VV.
