Wonderful years, those. A new world was opened up to us. Then came June, 1884. Came a whole flock of Junes. Then the other day of letter from Croaker’s worthy editor asking a word of greeting from the Trustees. Students of Wesleyan, the Mossbacks salute you! We’re all for you and justly proud of you. Without you our college wouldn’t be worth more than a pile of old bricks. But with you—and the thousands that trod this campus before you, and the unnumbered thousands who in the long centuries will come after you, this pioneer college is worth more to Iowa and to the world than all the tall corn our glorious old State ever grew or ever can grow. Because we believe in you, we gladly carry heavy burdens and count it a high privilege. No other enterprise with which we will ever be connected will pay dividends as large or pay them for so long. We admit we were born several decades too soon. We envy you with a glowing envy. We congratulate you on your wonderful new day—and the still more wonderful days ahead. Gladly would we turn back the clock and go along with you. You will go farther than we can ever go. You will be greater leaders than we can ever be. Because of your greater loyalty and greater ability this old college is steadily coming into its own. After all, we are merely your trustees pro tern. In the deeper sense you are Wesleyan’s real trustees, always and forever. Carl S. Williams, President, Board of Trustees. Page 17 For eighty-seven years Iowa Wesleyan College has sailed the seas of educational service. In these seas are flowing and ebbing tides, shifting sand-bars, and deadly rocks. Here are also a flotilla of nondescript, irregular, and irresponsible craft, and now and then a derelict driven with the winds and tossed. Many vessels have been lost since Iowa Wesleyan put out to sea but the captains and crews of this college have known and respected maritime law, have kept her gyroscopic compass from becoming magnetized by the iron of the vessel, have studied the stars and learned the use of the radio direction-finder, they have known charts and channels so that this vessel stands today fully equipped 'ith capacity and power and crew, with eighty-seven years of experience ready for further service to those who venture forth to the ports of Knowledge, Skill, and Character. This good ship has delivered to all ports of the world her precious cargo of trained young men and women. You will find them in South America, in many ports of I'urope, in far-off India and China; you will find them in nearly nil the states of the I nion. When, by a sharp, strange turn in history, the Philippine Islands came under the care of the Cnitcd States almost the first thing our government did was to send a shipload of American school teachers to those islands. Wesleyan graduates were on that ship and Wesleyan graduates to the number of two hundred and fifty are in the service of the schools of this country as teachers. Physicians, lawyers, journalists, ministers, social leaders, business and industrial leaders have sailed out to broad fields of usefulness over this line. Who arc now aboard? Look within this book for here are pictured their faces and here are reflected many of the happy and useful activities of the passengers and crew. Sometimes we sail on sunny seas and sometimes in raging storms but we’re sailing on, we trust, with something of the spirit of the navigators who have found new worlds and made possible new and happy homes for the children of men. Those who would sail with us for the ports of Knowledge, Skill and Character, all aboard! James K. Coons, President. Pane IS In this new yearly log book of the stately old ship, Iowa Wesleyan College, one of the crew herewith sends heartiest greetings to all those who from nearby or distant shores, or from other crafts have watched with interest or even solicitude the fortunes of this ship. A fine company of estimable youthful passengers as well as a thoroughly trained worthy crew we carried again on board this year. As a whole we have sought only for truth and never have we swerved far from the true course, for ever and again have we taken our bearings from the great scholars and seers of all the ages. As individuals we have kept the compasses of our hearts sensitized to the eternal principles of righteousness; nor have we starved our souls as we progressed intellectually. We have kept our eyes and our hearts open to the materially and spiritually beautiful, and our ears and our souls attuned to the harmonies on earth and beyond. In the course of the year we have encountered some storms but we have weathered them all, and have come out of them the wiser, and, we hope, the better. We have been supremely loyal to all the worthy traditions of our glorious past, and yet have been courageous enough occasionally to get rid of the barnacles retarding our advancement. We shall continue on our course even if necessary through unchartered seas, with high hopes and firm determination, but ever onward, ever forward. H. G.

Bingham, a man whose thorough knowledge of athletics and whose brilliant personality place him on a par with the best of coaches. Ilis advice seldom fails to remedy a difficult situation and he always has a word of advice on the tip of his tongue. The past life of “Bing” shows an excellent background for the coaching profession. At Denver University he was an all-around athlete and in his senior year was chosen end on the All-Rocky Mountain football team. During the war he served as a Lieutenant in Uncle Sam’s great army. After the war he entered the coaching game and soon gained recognition on his splendid ability. He came to Wesleyan from Roosevelt High, Des Moines, where he turned out championship teams. Everyone knows of his brilliant work in resurrecting athletics at W esleyan. We should be proud of such a man and back bis efforts to the limit. Page 73 WESLEYAN LETTER CLUB The Wesleyan Letter Club, one of the most active and valuable organizations on the campus, is composed of all men who have won an honor “W” in any branch of sports. The dual purpose of the club is to raise Wesleyan’s athletic standards and to aid in securing new students for the school. One of the most important activities of the club has been to take charge of the High School District Tournament held in the Wesleyan gym. MEMBERS President . .

At Wesleyan, as in every other school of today, the gridiron justly claims the interest and willing support of everyone on the campus. A revival of the determination to “win for Wesleyan” has brought to us a spirit of which we may be zealously proud. The entire squad works to develop the very best team possible. It was not just those eleven men who beat Parsons—but all Wesleyan represented by her powerful gridiron warriors—that succeeded in defeating the jinx. May the new spirit guide us to many more well-earned victories. I 2Z3SE 3ZS2ESE 1928 FOOTBALL REVIEW When Coach Bingham gave his initial call for football men the prospects were exceedingly bright when thirteen letter men responded to the call. With these men and a wealth of Freshman material on the practice field it looked as though a conference championship team was going through its daily workouts. But old man jinx was hovering about the camp waiting for an opportunity to get his first victim. Kenneth Strah, stellar tackle on the 1927 team, was the first to be sent to the sidelines for the remainder of the season. Strah dislocated his knee in one of the preseason scrimmages. A few days later. Sutphen. a guard, broke his nose, putting himself on the bench for the first few games. As the season wore on, more met up with injuries and were forced out of the game. Captain Woods End Captain-’i.'CT Ci f:i.ma lla'fbtuh o Page 76 WVM J.- VAVA Wr VftVAVrVAVAVAVi Vr VAV y „ Bes$osr Kerrv Fullback t Guard The first game of the season was played with Saint Ambrose College, at Davenport. Four new men appeared in the opening lineup, Hilton, Tackleson, Meier, and Rambo. The playing on both sides was ragged , with both teams gaining at will on each other. The “Tigers” showed a tower of strength in the opening moments of the game b making five successive first downs on the “Saints”, hut weakened as they neared the goal line. Wesleyan's only touchdown was the result of a long pass, and several line plunges by Berry. On the defense. Scranton was T: CKEI40X IU-Couferenc,- Quarterback vTvt PaS r ?? Tl RVEJt End Dresser End the outstanding player, 'topping a great mam of the plays before they were even started. The third major casualty of the season came in the third quarter when captain Woods dislocated some rihs. Owing to this injur) Woods was forced out of the game until the latter part of the season. Score; Wesleyan 6—Saint Ambrose U. Next on the list of opponents, came State Teachers college. This was Wesleyan's first appearance on their own lield and everyone looked forward to it with great expectations. The game was fast and hard-played throughout with the Teachers doing the offensive work and Wesleyan the defensive. The field was in very poor condition, bring rather soggy after a heavy rain, giving the pedagogists with their heavier team a decided advantage over Wesleyan. The Teachers suffering from the 'tinging defeat handed to them by Coe college the Saturday before and a moral victory from Wesleyan in 1927 came on the field with a deter-mination to win and to get all they could as was indicated by the score. Score; Wesleyan 0— State Teachers 31. SUTPIIBK Guard Sckastos Crnfrr Page 7S Parks Biccs Quarterback Fullback Homecoming and Central college, of Pella, were the next important features on the slate. At this affair the ‘‘Tigers’ pleased the “Homecomers by setting the “Dutchmen down a notch and winning by a comfortable margin. Tackclson used his passing arm to the best advantage in this game by hurling the ball to Hilton and Berry for long gains and touchdowns. Wesleyan was constantly pushing her opponents toward their goal line and her defense could be likened to a stone wall. As the final gun roared the Dutchmen found themselves trailing the “Tigers by a large margin. Score; Wesleyan 20—Central 0. Hii.ton- Halfback Bradshaw F.nd Page 70 Meier Nelson Guard Guard The Central shut-out was followed by three more of the same nature. The second of the series was administered to Culver-Stockton, at Canton, Missouri. The game was played in a cold drizzle, making fumbles quite a frequent occurrence. The first touchdown was the result of a long pass from Tackelson to Bradshaw and an off-tackle run by Tackelson. The extra try for point was made good by a pass. This was made in the first few minutes of the game. The last was made in the final period, when Tackelson returned a Culver punt some fifty yards and laid the hall on the opposite side of the chalk. The team and some hundred supporters returned home with dampened spirits to prepare for the “Quaker” clash which was to follow the next week. Score; Wesleyan 13—Culver-Stock ton 0. The next week Penn college appeared upon the Wesleyan gridiron with a very impressive reputation. The reputation, however, did not last long, for in the initial period Tackelson with perfect interference cut through the line and sprinted forty yards for six points. The try for point was made good by Rohde’s toe, thus making things look rosy for Iowa Wesleyan. The teams lined up, kicked off. and started to play again, when the Quaker quarterback thought it would be fitting and proper to call a pass. The pass was pulled, but proved quite disastrous Page SO VAVi-,V WA’JftVAV.WAV .yAt� .V� .VA: when Hugh Hilton “snagged ' it and laid it on the spot that would make Wesleyan thirteen points. Rohde was again the hero, for a minute, as his place kick sailed between the goal posts and bounced off Hershey hall. The process of starting the ball game was gone through once more when the same situation occurred for the second time. This time I’ffleman plunged toward his goal line with the ball neatly tucked under his arm. The remainder of the game was played more closely with both teams trying for touchdowns via line smashes, neither meeting with any success. Score; Wesleyan 20—Penn 0. The last of the shut-outs was dealt to Graceland college, at Lamoni. The game was to be played on Saturday afternoon, but due to Iowa mud the team did not arrive upon the battle field until after all the natives of Lamoni had been refunded their few shekels and had left in disgust. It was agreed to play the game the following Monday and in the encounter Wesleyan was able to get three touchdowns, two points after touchdown, and a safety. Score; Wesleyan 22—Graceland 0. The next game was with a non-conference team, Still college at Pcs Moines. The game was played at the capital city and was a supposedly easy encounter. Hut unfortunately for Wesleyan, Still had in her possession a horseshoe and a rabbit's foot; at any rate the Osteopaths Came off the field with the long end of the score. Coach did not start his first string in this fray, but saved them for a more important game the following week. Score; Wesleyan 0— Still 13. lIlKGST Guard Rambo G uard -i. Page SI Page $2 The climax to seven years of praying, hoping, planning, cheering, and other outbursts came to pass on the “Turkey day game when Wesleyan met her arch rival the Presbyterian college located in the neighboring town of Fairfield. Nerves were taut as the opposing tribes came upon the field of reckoning. All the W alumni, who were seated in a section of their own, cheered, and made whoopee as they saw their colors going through the manuevers of warming up. The first quarter of the game was played nip and tuck, but as it ended all critics would have given it to the “Tigers. The second quarter was started and old man injury swept down on the Wesleyan team and carried to the sidelines Henson, regular guard. The Presbyterians or “Wildcats, as they call themselves, seized the opportunity and started a march toward the Wesleyan goal line but as they neared the goal, the line held, and captain-elect rifleman's adept, educated toe sent the ball to safer quarters. The second time it became necessary to do this the punt was blocked resulting in a safety and two points for the opponents. The half ended in a few minutes. The second half started and the sensation of the day happened when Tackelson sent two well directed plays to the right and then a pass to Berry, speedy fullback, to the left. The Wildcats were caught completely off guard and Berry streaked 52 yards and across the chalk. The rest of the game was all in Wesleyan’s favor and she finished the most successful season in vears. Score: Weslevan 6—Parsons 2. Phelps End Sandburg Tackle A HARD, tense moment, the toss-up, a rush and Hash of lightning-quick bodies, accurate passes b well-trained muscles, a clever shot and the game is on. Hack and forth throughout the entire cage contest, the lead changes in a second’s time. Now ahead, now trailing, a resistless urge to go on, to score, to win. Men who engage themselves on the basketball court must possess speed, accuracy, endurance, and poise. It is a game of science, requiring instinctive action that results only after long practice and proper habits of the Hoor. Wesleyan’s squad attained success in all these branches of the sport and by that same old spirit of “winning for Wesleyan.’’ brought into action its very best technique to meet the occasion and to finish a very creditable season in the conference competition.

BASKETBALL REVIEW A brilliant array of basketball material reported to Coach Bingham at the close of the football season and immediately settled down to the task of learning the fundamentals of college basketball. “Old Man Jinx did not bother the squad to any great extent. Three letter men, several reserves of last season, and a variety of prominent high school basketball men furnished Bingham with plenty of talent from which to pick a team. During Christmas vacation, three practice games were played in which Bingham used his entire squad in order to get a line on individual abilities. No serious effort was made to win these games. 'I'lte regular scheduled season opened with Penn at Oskaloosa. This was a conference game which the Quakers won by a single point, 28 to 27. The Tigers led most of the game, but inexperience coupled with some tough luck brought about their defeat. Culver-Stockton of Canton. Missouri, placed a team of six-footers on the Wesleyan gym for the first non-conference game. The main feature of this game was the scoring of Lander, one of the best centers in Missouri. Allender was on a scoring spree in the first half, making sixteen points. The Missourians won 37 to 30. I he well-known Dutchmen of Central were Wesleyan’s first victims of the season. This victory gave us a .500 pet. standing in the conference. Score; Wesleyan 33—Central 26. i Aldex Bruhn “Bill” was handicapped by size, but his handling of the ball was on a par with any player. Pane S5 VAV .VAVr. va e Hugh Hilton Hugh was high scorer of the team, averaging 9.1 points each game. Graceland offered little- opposition in the next game and the Tigers scampered away with a 36 to 12 victory. The conference champions of the preceding season, St. Ambrose, defeated a tired hunch of Wesleyan boys in the next game. The team left early in the morning of the game and arrived in Davenport one hour before game time. Without proper relaxation the Tigers went into the game and played the '•Saints even, for the first three quarters, but lack of endurance caused by the hard trip and laxity in training told on the team. St. Ambrose 36; Wesleyan 25. A gamble on a new combination by Bingham and some excellent basketball strategy on the part of Coach Devine of Parsons resulted in a victory for our ancient rivals. Parson’s usual style of fast-breaking offense was changed to a stalling game which completely upset the Wesleyan team during the first half. However, in the second half, the Tigers succeeded in tieing the score and then obtained a four point lead with but a few minutes left to play. At th s point, Olin, Parson’s captain, who had been on the bench, entered the game and made four baskets in rapid succession. Final score, Wesleyan 32; Parsons 36. Bingham had organized another combination to send against Upper Iowa. In this combination, he placed all hopes of succes- in keeping up the morale of the squad after the defeat by Parsons. The first half of this game was a draggv affair, few thrills of a basketball nature being produced. Hilton and C’aris did some accurate basket -hooting in the second half and the Northern” team was subdued 35 to 23. Edward Cartwright “Ed” covered the floor in great style and his playing under the basket was outstanding. Pays S6 Clayton Jones “Katy, small, fast ami shifty, gave Wesleyan many a point through his accurate basket shooting. One hundred and thirty miles over slippery, ice-covered roads did not stop the Tigers from giving Culver-Stockton a taste of what they had previously given us—a defeat. The starting five men played throughout the whole game and gave an excellent account of themselves. Score. Wesleyan 31; Culver-Stockton 26. The last non-conference game of the season was with the Western Illinois Teacher’s College. This team ranked high in the I.ittle Nineteen conference, composed of schools that annually give “Big Ten schools stiff competition in basketball. Western 35; Wesleyan 30. The Quakers failed to Quake” enough to win in their second meeting with us. The score at half-time was 23 to 18 with Wesleyan leading. In the last half the lead changed several times until with four minutes to play and Wesleyan leading, a beautiful stalling game was carried out by the Tigers for the remainder of the game. Wesleyan 37; Penn 32. St. Ambrose, Luther and State Teachers, were having a nip and tuck battle for the conference title at this stage of the season. Central, the lowest standing team in the conference, beat St. Ambrose the night before the “Saints met us. Ambrose came against Wesleyan knowing that they must win in order to remain in the running. The game was hard-fought, but was slowed up by the large number of fouls that were called. Ambrose made seventeen free throws out of nineteen tries. Wesleyan out scored the “Saints’’ in field goals, but were not granted the permission of having as many tries from the free throw line. The whole team played as a unit; there was no individual star. Final score— Wesleyan 30; St. Ambrose 36. Lawrence Nelson “Ole” was a guard who seldom missed taking the re bound from the backboard. Page S7 Wilbur Allbkder Allcnder’s specialty was “follow-in shots. He had a low percentage of “misses” under the basket. The next two games were on the road. An even break was the outcome. Central was swamped by a score of 44 to 31. The team's offense was running in high gear with Hilton leading the scoring. l)cs Moines University beat us 31 to 29 in a heart-breaking game which Wesleyan led until the last minute of play. A victory over Parsons—nothing could be better to close a successful season. The game started with Hilton caging three baskets in rapid succession. Caris and Cartwright added to the score and at half-time, a substantial eleven point lead was built up. making a score of 26 to 15. Parsons put on a rally that tied the score at 26 “all” in the first ten minutes of play in the secondhalf. The Tigers seemed dead on their feet. Time was taken was substituted into the game and immediately caged a basket. Cartwright and Caris followed with some deliberate shooting which placed the game on ice . The gun went off and Parsons was beaten 34 to 29. An even break was the result of the season's play. The conference standing of the team was five won and five lost. Of the fourteen scheduled games, s - leyan led the conference in offense. Next year, watch We out and immediately upon play, the team began to function” in the proper manner. Bruhn Charles Eggleston “Eggie” was a hard worker and an excellent 1 range shot. Page SS Ancient ( jrecce gave to the world many athletes of enduring fame. Founders of the Olympics, the records of her great men are criterions for track and field activities even today. Each spring finds greatly increased effort on the part of younger athletes to surpass the splendid records of their predecessors. It is this unrest and constant endeavor to better old marks that gives zest to track and field competition. Tennis, too, is a highly specialized game for individual and team competition. It requires a preciseness of action and accuracy of stroke. Wesleyan’s superiority was shown in the winning of the Conference singles championship and the production of a splendid doubles team. Though new to athletics at Wesleyan, gymnastic stunts have developed rapidly the past year. A galaxy of undiscovered stellar performers appeared to form a surprisingly able team of gymnasts. The future points toward a greater interest in this branch of athletics. 1928 TRACK SCHEDULE Indoor Meet...........................Des Moines Drake Relays..........................Des Moines Graceland.............................Mt. Pleasant Parsons...............................Mt. Pleasant Conference Meet............................Simpson Penn.....................................Oskaloosa Page 90 1928 TRACK REVIEW Failure to register in the victory column did not prove an unprofitable track season for the Wesleyan squad in 1928. Several individuals did commendable work on the cinder path worthy of mention. At the indoor meet, Zilliner shared first place with a Parsons man in the high jump and later, in the Parsons dual meet, he divided first place points with Gooch, a teammate. Woods, a dash man, was high point winner of the squad for the season. He scored 1 S units against Graceland, a meet which the “Tigers” lost by a bare 3 points. Captain Berry’s specialty was the 440-yard dash which he won in several dual meets. Joe Long, diminutive hurdler, produced some excellent form in running the high and low “sticks,” which netted several scores to Wesleyan’s account. Gooch, a freshman, went to the conference meet and returned with a first place in the high jump. He hit his stride the latter part of the season and from all indications should be going strong in 1929. The half-mile relay team composed of Tackelson, Bradshaw, Berry, and Woods placed fourth at the Drake Relays in the college section of that event. It may be readily seen that the 1928 squad lacked balance. Absence of distance and weight men resulted in the loss of meets that could easily have been won had the proper balance been present. However, the 1928 season was not a failure as many prospects were produced who will show up in future years for the Wesleyan track team. Page 91 1929 TRACK SCHEDULE March 22-23.

Conference Meet at Cedar Falls May May May May 1929 TRACK PROSPECTS What will be the outcome of the 1929 track season? If we knew, it would be broadcasted in the 1930 Croaker. We are going to press too soon to expound on the triumphs of Wesleyan’s track team; however, some dope can be given on the prospects. Captain Tackelson with eight other lettermen and a horde of freshmen are working hard on the cinder-path for the strenuous schedule that lies ahead. Dash events will be well taken care of this year with ex-Captain Berry, Clint Woods, and “Tack” available. Wesleyan’s weakness in track, distance runs, should be removed to some extent by the presence of two promising freshmen, Kinkadc and Fspy, who hail from the coal-mining regions of Centerville. Kinkade did some excellent running in high school and gives good promise for college competition. Two-mile men are scarce; however, Bob Wilson is turning in fair time for that event. Big, husky men who can heave the shot and discus have been badly needed in past years at Wesleyan. Plenty of such men are available this year, but they all lack the polish necessary to throw the well-known weights enough distance to place in conference competition. Bingham may develop one of these men before the first meet is held. Page 92 W y- .VA Als V .' XJVK’?W ttKr7XE7X YK —lW M Joe Long should be “in” this year hopping the “sticks.” He has the ideal form of a hurdler, but a slow start hampers his time. He will be assisted by a freshman, Hone, a Prison City product, who undoubtedly will win points toward meet victories. In the various jumps, (looch seems to be the main stay. He should win the high jump with ease in a majority of the season's contests. He is also adding distance to his broad-jumping efforts. “Jig” Zillmer and Bradshaw arc also making fine pre-meet showings in both the jumps. Lcpley and Dresser are lettermen who should show up well in the pole vault after a previous year’s experience. A veteran half-mile relay team composed of Tackclson, Woods, Bradshaw, and Berry should be about the best in the conference this year. The mile relay team needs another man to give it conference strength. At the indoor meet held at Des Moines early this spring Wesleyan scored seven and a fraction points. Lack of an indoor track hampers Wesleyan’s chances to ably compete in an indoor meet. Woods took second in the 50-yard dash and “Tack” finished fourth in the same event. Hone won third in the low hurdles. Zillmer and (iooch tied for third in the high jump and Lepley tied for the same place in the pole vault. Bingham will select about five men to take to the Drake Relays the last of April. Should any of these men show, place or win, as the race-track parlance goes, Wesleyan should be immensely proud. Bl Pag? 93 TENNIS I ennis was thoroughly established as a successful minor sport at Wesleyan by the fine showing of the 1928 squad. Tennis interest had not been high until last spring when Wesleyan was represented by a squad of “racqucteers” that equaled the best in the conference. 1928 TENNIS SCHEDULE Graceland..................................Cancelled Central.........................................Here Carthage.......................................There Penn............................................Here Parsons........................................There Carthage........................................Here Penn...........................................There Parsons....................................Cancelled Central....................................Cancelled Page 94 The squad was headed by Dale Can's, a freshman, who brought fame to himself as well as to the school by winning the Iowa Conference singles championship. He had an enviable record of never having played a deuce set, four games being the most an opponent ever ran up on him in one set during the season’s play. Hills, number two on the squad, was put out of the conference by the man that Can’s beat in the finals. Hills and Can's paired for doubles play in a fine manner, (iottschalg and Musgrave completed the squad and ably assisted in winning matches through their persistent hard playing. Nine matches were on the 1928 schedule, but three of these were cancelled for various reasons. Four matches were won—Central, Parsons, and two contests with Carthage. In one of these, Parsons was “cleaned by a 5 to 1 score. The first meet with Penn resulted in a tie match. Can’s and Hills winning their singles and doubles. Later at Penn the Quakers gave Wesleyan the only defeat of the season. 4-2. Sure wins from Parsons and Central would have been in order had not these schools cancelled their meets. In the Conference meet, held at Simpson, Can's mowed down men from Western Union, Penn, and Columbia to reach the final match with Meyers of Columbia. Meyers gave the Wesleyanite a hard fight, but by heady and persistent playing. “DeDe won 6-3, 6-4, for the championship of the Iowa Conference. Hills was put out of running in the second round by Meyers after winning from a Western Union man in the first round. Hills and Can's lost their doubles match to the meet winners, Western Union, in the first round. Prospects for this year’s tennis team are exceedingly bright. The entire squad of last year is back and a supply of freshmen is on hand to offer some stiff competition to the veterans. Page 95 GYMNASTICS “Buck” Lockridgs, fresh from the University of Illinois summer session for coaches, instituted gymnastics into the physical education department this year for the first time at Wesleyan. Young men who previously were afraid to come near the gymnasium are now seeking admission to the various gym classes. A stunts class was formed which entertained basketball fans at half-time of all the important basketball games the past season. McAlIaster, Boshart, Rukgabcr, and F. Seitz displayed some excellent work on the rings, bars, and mats. “Buck” has more than filled his position as physical director the past season and he is to be congratulated on the fine work he carried out. K4 3SSSS232S3m: Page 96 ANCIENT Greece knew and practiced what modern society is just coming to realize—the value and importance of athletics for women. Following this period, their mighty heritage waned until the twentieth century, when modern woman threw off the shackles of twenty centuries. Today our colleges and universities have established departments of physical education for women. It insures the health essential to a highly organized society and instills a spirit of honor and fairness in social dealings that are all-important to the progress of intellectual as well as physical well-being. Wesleyan has taken notable strides in this field. A well organized and highly active department offers many advantages to the college woman. It is well worth whatever effort is necessary in developing athletics for women. Luella Reckmeyer I omen '$ Physical Director GIRLS’ LETTER CLl'B Page 98 W. A. A.

A. A. as it is more often called, was founded on the Iowa Wesleyan campus in 1921 by a small group of girls who were interested in athletics. W. A. A. makes physical health pleasurable; it stresses health and encourages the girls to promote both good eating and living habits in their school life. The second benefit derived from W. A. A. is the ability to cooperate. 'This is accomplished through Page 100 3 the various games of soccer, volleyball, basketball, baseball and tennis. W . A. A. strives to train girls in the principles of fair play. A girl goes out to play the game; to do her best is the thing that counts. Every girl learns the true value of sportsmanship. Membership is open to any girl in college who is interested in any of the sports and who has proven herself worthy by earning one hundred points before petitioning for membership. Points are earned by hiking, swimming and taking part in the various sports. The possession of a numeral, letter or a sweater is a goal to which every girl looks forward.

At Wesleyan, their purpose has been fully realized, and they have a very definite and constructive part in the building of a greater Wesleyan. Social fraternities on the campus arc almost as old as the college itself, having been established in 1X68. In three instances the local chapters were the first to be established west of the Mississippi, and all are the first chapters of their fraternity in Iowa. Gerth. Turner, Gottachalc, Gray.

The various publications are very helpful in giving the students constructive training in practical writing, reporting, compiling and editing. The Iowa Wesleyan News has been a consistent winner in the Iowa Collegiate Press Association as a superior paper. With the publication of the Croaker an annual event and the raising of its standard to the yearbooks of larger universities, and with the instituting of a first-class humor magazine, the Woof us, the trilogy is complete and Wesleyan is gaining a reputation for excellent journalistic work. Even as the good ship Wesleyan is sailing out on another cruise, so is her log book, the Croaker. However, the Croaker is sailing through uncharted seas as this volume is the first of the truly annual series. The fact that a whole year was lost to the Wesleyan files caused the Class of 1930 to determine that the Croaker should he an annual publication, rather than a biennial one. Realizing that a definite plan was essential for a superior yearbook, the staff selected a marine theme, one excellently adapted to portraying the Spirit of Glorious Youth. With this in mind, all efforts have been made to secure beauty and to truthfully present the collegiate life of Wesleyan. The publication of a larger volume, the selection of the highest type of cover, the very distinctive and beautiful opening section, enlargement of old sections and addition of new ones, keeping the continuity of theme —all have been done in order that the Class of 1930 might contribute its share in the building of a Greater Wesleyan.

You will, of course, recall all of the prominent journalists who either attended or graduated from Iowa Wesleyan in years gone by who now hold prominent positions in the writing world. During the last few years the old quality has been returning and consequently the publications and writers’ ability have been on the incline. At present there is the IVesleyan News which always did and always will come forth every week, the IVesleyan IV oof us, comic magazine founded by enterprising young men of this institution last year, and the Croaker which, this year, was made a yearly book instead of coming out every two years as heretofore. Does not this show progress? Professor Kroll, head of the journalism department, is laying his stress upon writing. “To be able to write one must write,” he says and puts this proverb into practice himself as well as teaching it to his pupils. Several students have prospered under this type of reign and have sold manuscripts, several have announced their intentions of becoming professional writers. Kroll teaches all types of writing work—newspaper, magazine, short story, article, play, poetry, and script. Our drawling, quick-thinking, journalistic head is a successful writer himself and seems well upon his way to national prominence. The one drawback is that he will leave us this year as he intends to devote all of his time to creating literature. Prof. Merritt, through his courses in composition, is also encouraging an interest in creative writing. Then we have Sigma Tau Delta, honorary journalistic fraternity, which offers prizes every year to the two freshmen who turn in the best written compositions. Such a contest attracts interest and always brings forth some real work. We are convinced that the Journalism department of Iowa Wesleyan ranks upon an even basis with any similar department in the country. What more can you ask as a held than a weekly newspaper to display your wares in, a humor magazine to give laughing youth their desired and needed outlet, and a year book that portrays the life of the campus and serves as a market of concentrated, intensive journalistic efforts? Page 150 THK stage embraces the field of music, drama and forensics. Within the last few years, Wesleyan has been forging to the front with musical and dramatic productions of decided professional qualities. The Wesleyan band and orchestra and the summer concert company are due high praise in building an excellent musical reputation for the school. With the completion of a very modern and well-equipped stage, Wesleyan will continue to have even more high class presentations from the speech department and the college at large. The renaissance and success of the forensic department are further indicative of collegiate interest in cultural endeavor. CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC , C The Conservator) of Iowa Wesleyan College was established in the year 1878 under the direction of Dr. Alexander Rommel, and continued with I)r. Rommel as director for forty years. The Conservatory is an integral part of Iowa Wesleyan College. During all the years of its history, it has stood high and contributed much to the development of music in the state of Iowa. The Conservatory is well equipped with pianos for studios and practice rooms. The chapel organ is being rebuilt and will be one of the finest in this section of the state. The courses in the Conservatory arc comprehensive and adequate to furnish the student with theoretical and practical training necessary to insure future development as teachers and performers. A four-year course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Music is offered. This year there will be four students to receive the degree. The three-year course in public school music is arranged in accordance with the standards set by the State Board of Education. The professors in the Conservatory are thoroughly trained for their work and results are seen in the pupils who have graduated and are now representing the conservatory as teachers. Practical work in piano, organ, violin and voice is carried on throughout the course. Professor Mountain has endeared himself in the hearts of every music student as well as other students on the campus, by his ready smile and kindly spirit. He has a charming personality and has served the college in many ways, by his advice, which is always freely given, and by offering his own talents.

It was presented as a part of the commencement program with Miss Audrey Whipple playing the title role. This year it is hoped that the senior class play can be presented on the new stage which is being constructed during the rebuilding of the chapel. Not only is the stage being greatly enlarged, but other equipment is being added which will facilitate play production. Modern electric equipment, several stage settings, and a purple velvet drop curtain decorated with a silver “W have already been purchased by the college. “Icebound,” a Pulitzer prize play, by Owen Davis, has been selected as the commencement play and play rehearsals are in full swing. “The Lion and the Mouse by Klein was presented by Alpha Psi Omega early in December. While probably one of the most dramatic productions attempted by the s|K-ech department, it was exceptionally well presented. It is a drama of a powerful man who loses to a girl, the sweetheart of his son. Mr. Lee, Miss Bair and Mr. Turner played these roles with a convincing realism which marks the whole presentation. This play was also given to audiences in Burlington and Donnclson. Because of the extensive forensic program and the lack of a stage the latter part of the year, no other plays were attempted. The year 1929-1930 will probably be one full of excellent dramatic productions. Page 15S THE LION AND THE MOUSE CAST Eudoxia.............................................Verla Ram bo Rev.

With a squad of fourteen appearing regularly for practice, it was decided to build up the forensic program by making contacts with schools :ovcring a large area and bringing in teams of reputation and ability, many of whom had never debated Wesleyan. Only four old debaters were back: Vera McElroy, Helen Johnson, Farron Turner and Kollin Pooler. Farron deserted us for oratory where he made a larger name for himself. Ralph Schut ., our orator of last year, came forward and proved himself a competent debater and thinker. Most of the squad were green, but made some show for themselves by sticking to the job and working hard. Various types of debating were tried this year, having a split team debate with both Simpson and Shurtlcff and an open forum one with the College of Emporia. The outstanding debate of the season was with the men’s team from Oklahoma City. This team went to the finals in the national convention of Pi Kappa Delta at Tiffin, Ohio, last spring. Trips were numerous for both men and women. The longest trip for the latter was to State Teachers and Cornell, while the men went to Simpson and Carthage. A southern tour, including four new schools, was taken by McOavic and Turner. Very few three-man debates were held since the trend was toward two-man teams. Under the supervision of Pooler and Schut ., the green men were initiated into the talking sessions, while McElroy and Johnson took charge of the girls. H Vksux Tiixi.wvx. V V.'.V ■■■.■ : '-v.v'-v a- .v y. : rt aa l „jc 101 'rurncr, McFlroy and Johnson are lost by graduation, but from all indications Wesleyan has a splendid outlook for next year. Roth Pooler and Schut . will be back as well as the new men ami women: Work, Tomlinson, Smith, McGavic, Rellit, Hauer, Sedgwick, Lockhart and Crane. On April 10-Id, Helen and Vera, Rollin and Ralph, four debaters, and Dorothy Sedgwick and Fred Miller as extempore speakers went to Dcs Moines for the regional convention of Pi Kappa Delta. At this convention, each school or team debated twice, once on each side of the ques-tion. To be eliminated, the team must be defeated on both sides of the question. Our girls went to the semi-finals without a defeat; there Parsons bested us, and in a hotly contested debate Simpson took the convention. Therefore, the Wesleyan girls were adjudged as second winners, while Dorothy Sedgwick won first in extempore. Since Wesleyan held the vice-presidency of the Iowa Women’s Forensic League, the state oratorical and extempore contest was held here on February 15. In this we were represented by Miss Munster as orator and Miss Sedgwick in extempore. On March 1, Jordon Work in extempore and Farron Turner in oratory were sent to Penn College for the state contest of the Iowa Collegiate Forensic Association. Turner was awarded first place with his oration “What Price War” and went to the interstate contest at St. Peters, Minnesota, on April 12. Here he was chosen as one of two men from the five states represented to enter the national contest at Fvanston, Illinois, on April 26 under the auspices of the Northwestern School of Speech. Fred Miller will enter the “Constitution” oratorical contest at Dubuque on April 27. With this successful season. Prof. Dennis i to be congratulated. Next year’s slogan is to be: “Watch us take the National at Wichita.” Pane 162 ♦ (£ � S • fe • (S ( (Sr • (U • ( •• (C � (£ ■� Os J� (C • • (j 1 • ds ♦(i m � (£ � IS v r ♦ arns' Tsr: isr: cvt : g'rgrgrrg:: TiSTg?g Book Six CURRENTS I COLLEGIA'!'!' life at W'esleya:) means a multitude of pleasant times and memories. The life of the collegian begins even before registration, continues through the fraternity rushing activities, through the thrills of the football season, through the excitement of Homecoming, Thanksgiving and the Turkey Banquet, through the joys of Christmas and New Year’s, even through the hectic days of examination week, through basketball and spring athletics, through the spring social events, through the rush of commencement and ends with a feeling of mixed thankfulness and poignancy.

The charm of femininity, beauty and grace of manner is symbolized by them, and with it are to be found the sound fundamentals of character.

There arc croakers and croakers. We, being Juniors, and having bad logic (some of us), can prove it if necessary. But don’t look for logic in what is to follow. '1'here are croakers we all like and croakers that none of us like; and there are all shades and variations between the extremes. You who have taken that memorable “Morning Bike Ride” will remember well the voices of the ‘‘frogs of all dimensions.” Wasn’t there something there to suit your fancy? Or, better yet, you Freshmen, take your best girl, and you alumnus, take “that old sweetheart of yours down to Cole’s pond on some moonlit evening during Commencement week (we haven’t looked in the almanac to see if there will be a moon then). Then while you arc looking at the reflection of the moon in the water and feeling good toward the world in general and yourself in particular, pause a moment and see if the situation would be complete without the chorus of croakers. The are of all kinds and conditions with voices to suit. Every one of them, from the youngster who has just been promoted from tad-poledom to the giant bullfrog, is essential and helps to lend enchantment to the situation. But there are croakers which do not have webbed feet—we mean the “old croaker.” It were better that a Junior Oration were hanged about our neck and we were cast into the depths of a frog pond than that we be related to, or like him. Page 1S1 Some good people have wondered just what kind of a croaker this newest one—this ’06 Croaker—was going to he. For obvious reasons they have not learned much. Hut now we are free to say that he is as jolly as that young croaker that was only a short time ago a wiggling pollywog; and he is as wise as the big bullfrog that talks like the K string of a bass viol. If you don’t like him in the one mood try the other. Do not judge his croaks by the voice of a Patti nor his literary efforts by those of a Milton. If he were so disposed, he could no more duplicate their feats, than they could duplicate his. We trust that you will be in a mood as uncritical as when you last stood on the bridge down by the pond and let the moon and the croakers persuade you that the world was yours—or soon would be. No apologies are to be made for this Croaker. It goes as the herald of '06. We could do better another time, which we would really like to do, partly because we have enjoyed it and partly because we could do it better. We have worked hard— just how hard we had better not tell for we might be Juniors next year if the faculty knew. We have encountered all sorts and conditions of encouragement. Seniors wagged their hoary heads and asked us if we knew what we were up against. Sophomores opened their eyes wide with wonder; Freshmen did not comprehend it at all. We wrote the late committee on Alumni record” for a “Reminiscence” and he sent us one of those alumnus’ examination papers to show how bus) he was and said he was sorry we were “too late for the '05 edition of the record.” We were at a loss to know just what he meant by that: whether a class with so much nerve was entitled to a place in the record, or whether, if we were alumni we would not be Juniors asking for “Reminiscences” and thereby stirring a guilty conscience for pranks done in Junior days, perhaps. Who knows? Hut we are keeping ( ?) you from things which may concern you more personally, so we bid you look further and sec how popular you are with ’06. Pntjf ISJ THE WILES OF WESLEYAN Dorothy Lovitt, from the Pi Phi School of Beauty, is contemplating on her next move. Dorothy is ambitious, and usually successful. It. Theodore Johnson, of the Sig Ep branch of the Salvation Armv, has been borrowed especiallv foj this • talkie . ' Mii.dred Warren, belle of the Alpha Zip islands, who has a ring of sincerity in her voice that tempts you to believe her. One has! Wayne Kmry, the perfect college comedian. Innocent and innocuous. Megan Rhys, who is just now beginning to enjoy life after the martyrdom of being accused as a Campus Lab conspirator. Poor kid. John McGavic, who has almost deserted Wesleyan screen-land, for a new leading lady. Anabel Clark, who, last year believed in Easter Eggs, Valentines, storks, et omnia. The management has not yet secured anyone to play opposite. Frank William (Bill) Carr, an enigma to certain of the John Wesley co-eds. Has been known to fill a date. Irene Boucher, who refuses to divulge information on her courtship. She should be an example to the inmates of Hershcy Hall. Howard Hills, of the Theta Nu Savings Bank, who has a loan on his pin. Margaret Reckmeyek, who doesn’t know whether she was made for the world or the world for her. Anyway, her attempts to arrive at a decision arc painful. Irma Bentzinger, of the Zeta sewing circle, who last summer chumped off with a heart, but for unkonwn reasons returned it and yet continues to hypnotize its owner. THE WILKS OF WESLEYAN A violin, whose dulcet strains will enable the stars to register their emotions more correctly Roman Pooler, debater extraordinary, history shark, and ex-member of the Oxford Club. However, he knows his violin. RUTH Freyermutii, who has been borrowed from the Dazzling Denver Dozen” for a special acrobatic stunt. Mercedes Basche from the Phi Mu cleaning establishment. Mercedes is a very modern young miss and is gradually educating Wesleyan to the ways of Chicago, her native city. Bernice Shephard, who has returned to pictures again after a whirl on the legitimate stage. James Beli.IT, who has been living on his past reputation, but i trying for a comeback. John Myers, familiarly known as “Pinky, who has been the constant lover of one R. H. B. Bruce Rohde, from the Phi Delt Hotel, who is said b to be Wesleyan’s most handsome and by others to be the most lazy. Either would lit. Vera McElroy, who knows how to get by. Handicapped by a few mistakes, she is soaring for stellar heights. Mary Love Farnam and Grace Wells, Wesleyan’s Duncan Sisters, and of Pi Phi Mu extraction. Extraordinary lines and talents. A tike, symbolic of spring and of the fade-out. ZETA TAl' ALPHA l.fft to Kit it FIRST ROW Elizabeth Ellenbercer. the sunshine girl of Zeta Tau, who is mighty glad she is a Zeta, urn, and a little bit more. Vi Gustafson is our clever girl. Vi realizes the fa t, but modestly refuses to smile at her own wit. Vi lives in Pi Phi hall—that may help. Harriet Pike, who is a P. K. Who'd ever guess it? Harriet's interests are in Hoaglin's. Helen Wiiipple, another little sister. Helen just loves to take the coquettish part in plays. SECOND ROW Elm a I) ACCS who can play a violin, and has a high I. Q. This is indeed a rare combination. Rose Taft, the town girl of Zeta Tau. Rose N interested in band work just now. ADELINE StlREVE, who i' ahead of the rest of the sisters. He has her Sig Ep heart and has already announced it. Cleo Robertson, the athletic girl. Cleo is originally from New London and proud of it. Capable. Dorothy Reich, Homecoming Queen, and the girl who brought the erring Woods back into the chapter. Not so adept in other politics. THIRD ROW Alice Jean Hons, a main reason for Ina Mannat coming to school. Alice Jean prefers the flaming youth, too, and is not bashful about it. We wonder why, as she is usually so retiring. Mozei.i.e Ashby, the Muscatine pledge is next. Mozelle has never done anything without ’’aunty except date Pete. Ina Mannat has many thought' of State Teacher's College. W e hope Ina doesn t decide to leave us now. Lucille Tomlin, sent by a Zeta from Illinois. Lucille is majoring in music, and it keeps her busy practicing. Because of the high water at Wapello. Merry Beth Black and Jean McCullough were unable to get here for the pictures. The Zeta's were awfully sorry. Several of the other girls were not there for the picture either. Page 1S6 The Street of Good Cheer There is a Street of (iood Cheer. It is not marked out in any city plan; it is not merely a thoroughfare from one place to another. It is not a busy artery of commerce where man and beast, by sweat of brow, toil their heavy burdens to the market-place. It is not a boulevard where the pleasure-mail recklessly rush along in pursuit of vanishing rainbows. It is not an exclusive avenue, only to be coursed b the rich and powerful. It is not a winding road of deceit and disillusionment which leads only to misery and despair. It is, instead, a broad and open highway which bids cheery welcome to all mankind. It leads far away from the humdrum cares of daily life. It gladly receives the traveller, regardless of youth or age, power or poverty, position or obscurity, and leads him on to fairy heights where the bitter world of reality is dispelled; where he may become an Alexander of conquest and win the heart of the story-book princess. The bright lights of welcome are never dimmed upon this Street; it is never barricaded against the hungry heart of humanity, yearning for inspiration and contentment. The portals of this Street are always ajar to bid a cordial greeting of good cheer to all who would travel its way. It is, indeed, the Street of (Iood Cheer, this highway whose waysides are banked with those havens of happiness—the Motion Picture Theater. —Martin' J. Quigley. TEMPLE THEATRE Pagt 1S7 THETA KAPPA XT' Reading from Left to Right BOTTOM ROW JACK Moline, the happy-go-lucky boy of the Theta Nu's. If he ever got blue, the event would he important enough to rate Campus Lab. Red Scranton, a married man, a father, and a minister. ’Nuff said! J. Cl.ENN StrIBBY, the Theta bid for the scholarship cup. lie believes in campus activities such as band, scholarship, and Blue Key. Little Bill Carruthers, who just happened to he talking as the camera went off. Hayden Williams, Theta entrant ill the beauty contest (if they had one). To prove that brains and beauty can go hand in hand, Williams reasons logically that even the fraternity cannot lift the face of prospective pledges. SECOND ROW Straii, the self-satisfied guy who is just a little put out because he can’t stand by his old partner, I-ooie, in the picture. Lowe, who is a pledge and has to stand back. He was the unlucky guv the cameraman put in Looie's place. O. I.OPER, who shows plainly that he is not a little put out because the cameraman takes so much time that he (Mike) could put to a much better advantage. Alfred Wiest, who decided not to go to Annapolis. Someone told him there weren't any girls in school there. Masden, who is trying his best to take a mannish picture by looking hard. Sutmpen, who just has to giggle, even if he can’t stand by Strah or go over to Ft. Madison this week-end. Looie is an optimist. THIRD ROW MUXGER, the musical talent of the fraternity. He plays in the band and glee club. Tackenblrg, who does hope all the folks at Yarmouth will see him—even if he is in the back row. Art Morrow smites to hide his worries. He is still bothered about that ear that still swells. Clifford I.ee. who zealously guards every nickel of the fraternity’s money, and who more zealously guards every cent of Lee’s money. Page ISS J.

Ethel Johnson, the athletic girl who will own her own Ford after the next payment. Esther Franks, the Pi Phi wonder. Esther is the Pi Phi hid for a Theta pin. LOUISE Weibley, president of the heavenly group. Helen HOLLAND, a little sister had no choice. Helen's main interests are in high school yet. SECOND ROW Bernice Seaver of New ork. Her father is a smart man, and a professor. June Wheaton, who would love to cut all of her hair off. but Jimmy just hates boy hair cuts What shall she do? (June will do as the boy friend wishes, as usual.) Elizabeth Rogers, who, at last, is teaching Pete Parks all he should know about botany and other subjects. Grace Wells has red hair, and she knows how to comb it. She is just another ot the girls who decided she wants to go to heaven when she dies. Frances White, who can cook cocoa and make Iota Phi. Frances is truly an unusual girl. Katherine Wahl does so enjoy those walks down town after lunch, as she goes right past th-Sig Ep House. THIRD ROW Dorothy I.ovrrr, who needed a change of environment, so came here. She is thinking of writing a book on The Ways of Men. Guinevere Wagner of Des Moines, a sophomore, and another promising pledge. Helen Crane, winner of the beauty contest. Helen also has a Phi Delt cinched. What more could she ask than to finally go to heaven ? Wanneta Wick, the girl with the natural permanent. We were speaking of her hair, hut she also has a permanent admirer in the form of next year's football captain who wears the sword and shield. Lois I-Ockiiart is one of the reasons for the existence of small towns. Although Lois has never seen a street car, her I. Q. is such that she is smart enough to keep it to herself. A clever girl. 190 j MIDWEST LUMBER COMPANY | ! THE BEST OF EVERYTHING f | TO BUILD ANYTHING | MELVIN TALBOTT, Mgr. Page 191 SIGMA PHI EPSILON We arc glad the camera man was able to catch so many of the literary hoys smiling. It proves that happiness and hard work go hand in hand. FIRST ROW In this row (from left to right), we see the smiling fare of Jack Thomas. He hasn't a car? in the world, for he’s got a girl now. Next is Theodore Johnson who has a reputation in more than one activity on the campus including tennis and campustry. Richard Kai.i.bnrekg is one of the reasons the hoys could have the shiny cup in the picture. Denis T. Jones, editor of the Iona ll’rsltyan Sms, not as he looks of course, hut as he thinks he looks when he gets his moustache quite grown out (at the end of two or three days). Clinton Woods, who has tried them all, hut has returned to the Zeta circle at la-t, is looking cheerful despite his lack of sleep. (He had a date last night, and didn't get home unti eleven.) Next, Mr. Rollin' Pooler appears. He asks us to explain that although he knows the girls will he disappointed not to have his face in the picture, he would rather have his beloved violin show, as it is his li r anyway, no matter what the Phi Mus think. SFCOND ROW Jiggers Zili.mer, basketball captain. Red IIali.owei.l, one of the matrimonial candidates. Next, we see the smiling face of Hugh Hilton who is relieved that the brothers took him in with his low grades. Hugh has resolved to do better next semester, however, and has set at least 13 hours of ‘D as his goal. Art Schwiebert, the cut up. has put on a pair of glasses in hopes that no one will recognize him. Muscravb, who interests are in southern Illinois and Missouri, thinks he wields a mean raquet. THIRD ROW Hap Miller is religiously reprimanding Mcarle Woods and De Vcre Peterson who are fighting over Mearle's tea set that he got for Christmas. Hap is proving his point by quoting a few verses of scripture. Sam Ewart had to hurry to get here in time for the picture. He wanted to wear his Wesleyan sweater he got in football, but the boys made him go clear home for his coat. As all the other members of the club (including Jim Smith, who hasn't broken his pledge yet) were on important dates that couldn't be broken, it was the brainy suggestion of one of the literary boys to fill up space with the scholarship cup—while they yet can. Vagf 192 We Hardly Know What to Say in This Space- Probably we should talk about coal and feed, and the other things we have to sell, but we honestly think you would not stop to read what we’d say. anyway. What interests you most in this annual is the material about your school year—the pictures, the jokes, and the stories. And, while we don’t deny that we’d like awfully well to sell you something, we’re not going to bother you with any sales talk here. The fact that you’re reading this annual indicates that you are interested in Iowa Wesleyan. So are we! We think it’s a great thing for the community. We enjoy having you college people here—like to have you speak to us on the street. We enjoy your games, your entertainments and your concerts. “That’s all!” A. D. Hayes Company PHI MU FIRST ROW Alice Beckman, who has her hair marcelled since she has a school. Alice is the reason the triangle boys prefer Phi Mus. Helen Johnsons also has a school and had her hair marcelled for the picture. Caustic. IxttiSE Streiby of Chicago. Louise has a few freckles and doesn't mind them a bit, even if she is a girl. Ruth Freyermutii, one of the W. A. A. girls. She is planning to secure her letter sweater by hiking to Denver this summer. Ori.ean Wei.i.ons is the name of the youngster next to Helen. She is not the Phi Mu mascot, she really belongs to that club. A very distinctive miss, a haircut even more so. Ferol Ki.u.m, who landed her Sig Ep heart while still a freshman. Most Phi Mus can't do that in four years (and keep the hearts), so Ferol is unsual. SADIE Rlgc, who has her own car and is strong for education except the books. Mary Scranton, who won a beauty contest at West Chester once. SECOND ROW Mary Love Farnam. who is proud of her red hair. Mary Love decided to be a dream girl, too. Helen Milligan, May Queen, and sole possessor of a Theta Nu pin. Some of the sisters arc working mighty hard to keep up with Helen, but the Thetas hang on to their pins almost as hard as the Phi Delts do. WlLMA I.atiirop, who talked the cameraman into letting her stand by Helen. I.uckilv, Wilma had just finished a sentence as the camera went off. Naomi Breuer. who has found the location of Saunders school at last. Naomi likes to tcast, but never does anything worse than change the cards in laundry cases. I.ois Bowser, who is glad that Morning Sun is on the way to Muscatine. Edith Rarer, who aspires to imitate Gilda Gray. Anyway, she chews gum more vigorously than any chorine ever dared. Has been engaged, but swears never again. Anna Mary KlRCHBR, guardian angel of the Wesleyan dream girls. When Kracker dreams of Wesleyan, she dreams of Phi Mu, Sig Ep, and Theta Nu. THIRD ROW Gertrude Frax.ey, whose haircut gives away the fact that she is from Missouri. Jessie Lauger, who is the surpressed desire of many a man. Jessie is just a peach of a girl, jolly and gay. Her biggest failing is just being too nice to people. Adei.f. Green, faithful treasurer and grade maker of the chapter, who is rather bothered at the ordeal of having to hurry to the photograph gallery. Mercedes Basciie, the reason some of the old actives have grey hair. Mercedes is from Chicago, etc. Wilma Cor nick is also learning of Denver, by degrees. Nina Miller, who isn't applying for schools. Nina has unlimited possibilities, if her line were more consistent, or less so. She sings well. I here wasn't room for the other Phi Mus, and when the girls drew straws, they drew the short one and had to stay off the picture. 194 Two Old Friends Iowa Wesleyan College and The Burlington Hawkeye } BOTH THE OLDEST IN THEIR OWN FIELD j HOAGLIN’S DEPT.

Dale avoids the co-eds. but when one of them seriously gets her eye on him, goodbye Dale. Tuffy Turner, who has his weakness in school now. Lester Uffi.eman, next year's football captain and Lon Chaney II. I’ftie is quite stable. Chris WACLER, who made himself smile for the picture. He has been solemn and grown up ever since his trip to Donnelson. A. C. Gerth is the fifth chap whose face is the very image of peace and innocence. He really is blossoming out quite beautifully, as all he needed was that high school influence. His ambition is to be wild. A. C. helps in solving the chapter transportation problem. Henry Rradsiiaw, who hails from Des Moines. Hank is like the proverbial sailor. SECOND ROW Paul Phelps, who has seen better days when there was more material around. Paul does wish those Pi Phis wouldn't razz him when he has his annual Phi Mu date. He thinks the Pi Phis think the Phi Mus think they can get him. Mark Aldridt.e, who is extremely eligible. Maurie, who feels the sun rising and setting in the Needham family. A shark in shallow water. Notice how Maurice is starting to push himself into the front row. Too bad the picture snapped before he reached his position. I.eland McCo$H, who is little but mighty, so it seems. He finally achieved his ambition of acquiring a Phi Delt pin. Has dated Orlean and Peg, so he must rate, but it is hard to tell. MahlOX Goetz max, who can look innocent without half trying. Has somewhat overcome his social rating complex. THIRD ROW Bill Turner, whose moustache took an awfully poor picture. Bill is really not so clever and sophisticated as Esther Franks gives him credit for being. Jim Gray, who is a silent fire-cracker, wrapped up in town material. Also an invaluable aid in solving the bus situation for the brothers. Elmer GottSCHALC, the Phi Delt prexy, who has had a rather difficult year keeping his boys together. His motto is “Call ’em late, an’ snip ’em cold.” Bruce Rohde looks the picture of innocence, but it is merely one of contentment. Mark Carnahan, a product of Mt. Pleasant. Has the reputation of “The Glorious Apollo,” but reputation only. Dick Lee, who is the exceptional and remarkable Phi Delt. A Ben Hur of Wesleyan! Dick is a wonderful manager though, especially when it comes to dances. His ambition is to learn how to smoke. The other brothers, including Ike White, couldn’t take time off to come for the picture. Believe it or not, they were studying, as they are sincere in their effort to get the long-lost scholarship cup. Page 196 MISS DOROTHY LOVITT of I. W.

Margaret Rommei., who is president of the group “above the rest . Margaret keeps the quills scratching for that scholarship cup. She is terribly interested in the navy just now. Mary Crane, who has only two worries in the world—her curly hair and Sam. Next we sec Megan Riiys, an Alpha “little Sister . Megan's worries are of a theological nature at present. The Sig Ep theologians have worried more than Megan during the past year. Maxine Fullmer, who stayed home the first semester to earn and save money to come see John on the week end. Mid Warren, who behaves as an engaged girl should. Secondly, she refused to he entered in any more beauty or May Queen contests. SECOND ROW Margaret Reckmeyer, who came all the way from Nebraska to be an Alpha Xi. Her solemn look is caused by habitual thoughts of being accused of writing Campus Lab. Verla Ram bo, whose beau is only a rainbow sometimes. Vera could rate if she would get over high school ideas. She seems to enjoy being a martyr. Poor kid. Marjorie Kaumgarten, who ranked second in her high school class of twelve. Marjorie will undoubtedly make Iota Phi. Lucille Heckman and Frances White extend sympathy. Louise (Jottschalc, who has a Phi Delt brother. Ixtuise has it in big quantities, but lacks the encouragement of the sisters to get over. Louise Hall, who didn’t get to wash her hair just before the picture was taken, and the photograph doesn’t do Louise justice, for she looks as frightened in the picture as she does in Husccmi’s class. Other members of this exclusive group were officially detained and so do not appear in this picture. Page 19$ TINWORK FURNACES CE-Fo) DEXTER WASHERS CE-E g E. E.

Its publication this year was undertaken against unfavorable odds, but we felt that “this was the year.” We have made many changes in this book, but our motto has been “a better book for a better Wesleyan”—and we sincerely hope that we have fulfilled that dream. We wish to express our most cordial appreciation to our loyal staff, to the business men, the faculty, the alumni and the student body who have made possible the Croaker Beautiful. The success of the book is due in no small measure to John Fulton, staff photographer, who has worked unceasingly, and to F. J. Foehlinger, portrait photographer, for his excellent work and hearty cooperation at all occasions. To the Economy Advertising Company, and especially to W. W. Mercer, who has been responsible for the printing and binding of this volume, we are grateful for the suggestions and cooperation received. The Bureau of Engraving has done a commendable job. Roy Haldorson of this firm has given much time and effort in solving the many confronting problems. We fully realize that some of our innovations may bring criticism and that we have made mistakes. We ask you to remember that this is a new task for us. Throughout the book we have striven for a balance and to present Wesleyan life as it really exists. At all times, we have attempted to keep our theme consistent and to uphold the ideals of Friendship, Scholarship and Leadership. The 1930 Croaker is finished. With heartiest good wishes, Farron E. Turner, Editor-in-Chicf. Howard H. Hills, Business Manager.
