On September 16, 1913, a goodly number of typical high school graduates from the utter- most parts of the earth especially western Kansas Cwith all due respects to the rolling prairies and hot windsl assembled in our college and faced the complicated problem of enrollment. But there was something mysterious, peculiar and essentially different in this Freshmen class from any before. The Faculty felt it, the upper classmen were impressed by their presence, the Academy looked on with wide open eyes, yes and even the Firmament was glad and re- joiced, the hot wind ceased, the heavens became clouded and the world was refreshed by an abundance of rain. Of course it was a little lonesome for these who had arrived for the first time but their spirits were not dampened even if their clothes were and so they remained, consequently this history was made and has to be written. We were not so very much different from all Freshmen upon entering, we had to learn where our classes were and who we could trust for guidance and who were the Sophs, but we see now that this was an education in itself. Time passed rapidly and it was soon noised about by the upper classmen that the Freshmen were a bunch of cowards and the Sophs were no better for no annual class scrap had been staged for their amusement. Immediately a consultation was held with the Sophomores and after many weighty discussions it was finally decided that we were above the stages of bar- barism and could not indulge in such so-called amusement, so in order to get a holiday we staged a fake scrap on the Campus and immediately withdrew to Dry Creek. Of course we are sorry to this day that the remainder of the school followed us out there, especially the Seniors in cap and gown. We ask you to look upon it as you would a childish prank and let by-gones be by-gonesf' It was during this process of history that the class was organized and that good old yell Rick rack, rick, rack, was formed. Roy Smith was chosen president and served well. The other great event of our Freshmen year was the Kid party when the members of the class returned once more to their childhood days and blossomed forth in the has beens they had gotten from home or the clothing of innocent children who unfortunately sojourned near by. It is needless to say the party was a success although vain attempts were made to carry off the eats, 1 The Sophomore year started off with a rush. It was our Golden age. The weighty dig- nity of upper classmen had not yet settled upon our brows. We owned the earth and we felt capable of defending our rights. Floyd Lull was president and he showed his ability in that capacity. Again we used our heads, being few in number but mighty in strength we challenged the Freshmen to a tug of war across the Smokey. They accepted and consequently were forced to hop in the creek. This year our basketball team tied for first place in the class tournament being defeated by one point in the last game. , -In the Junior year Glindon Rouse was elected president. We were very busy this year in getting out the Annual, the success of which was largely due to Miss Fitzpatrick, editor and Mr. Chris Green, manager. Our picnic of this year must not be omitted for it was on the banks of Dry Creek that Claude Diehl got his first taste of cider. . Our Senior year is fast drawing to a close and we look back on the good times we have had with pleasure. Claude Diehl has been our last President and he has done well in spite of many activities. We look back with just a slight feeling of regret that we lacked just one point of winning the class basketball tournament, but that is past. We can cite with pride that for the past three years we have taken the class track meet and hope to this year. There are five W men in our class, Diehl, Shoemaker, Stolz, Earl Green and Lull. Two former Wesle- yan athletes, Charles Corsaut and Rex Stevens, were members of our class. We have our orator, Nelson Rossing and five intercollegiate debaters, Shoemaker, Lull, Bossing, Brewster and Rouse besides two girl debaters, Miss Stevens and Miss Parker, who have represented the Wesleyan. Bossing and Shoemaker have each been president of the Y. M. C. A. and Miss Matson, of the Y. W. C. A. We have nine society presidents in our class. Of the Athenaeums are Miss Matson, Miss Gardner and Miss Fitzpatrickg of the Delphian, I-Iillbrandg of the Zetagathean, Miss Traylor and Miss Parker 5 and of the Ionian, Bossing, Shoemaker and Rouse. And after it is all said and done we have others in our class who have not been so prominent in school activities but perhaps have been better students and we hope to hear from them in the near future. When we look back upon these four years it seems such a short time and yet when we think of the many things' that have happened we wonder how time was found for all. Of course we Seniors feel that we are fast approaching the parting of the ways but we will always hold 1n memory the good times we have had at the Wesleyan. We do not feel that with dur passing from the College Halls wisdom will die or that the dark ages will come again. Our highest hope is that the following Senior Classes will be larger and better and will continue to advance the standards of old We-sli. We hope that in the future the University as now, will place character building Hrst and turn out men and women of whom we may be proud to be con- sidered a partg and also that we as graduates may so live as to be a credit to her. -Glindon Rouse '17. -30- I gm--922- xvkij 4 , .. .513 . 4 4' ee la ew l.A e v ,',, f'f!, . i gf Wzfi ' e w L IH lk if J f yfilifie A I 1 JV i l eg Q .

E the class of 1918 have safely passed through the verdant stage of Freshmen, also R 'fn the cabbage-head period of the Sophs and have reached our Junior year healthy models for our underclassmen. We hope to graduate next- year having escaped g the many mental diseases to which college classes are subjected. ' When we entered as Freshmen, we heard much about 'bluf'iing, tlunks, rushing' etc, We were very much puzzled over such terms but the upperclassmen soon demonstrated to us what each meant. All immediately took warning and evaded these evils. ' Of course we have had many ups and downs in our school life but we have also had many good times. I think we never more thoroughly enjoyed ourselves than when we gave the Sopho- mores their just deserts in a hard fought basketball game. Our class has furnished some of the best athletes in every department of 'athletics each year, having several men who proudly wear the W, The Juniors have some excellent debaters and orators, too. In our Freshman year two of the three debaters who won from William Jewell College were our fellow classmen. Last year one of our number held a high place in the State Peace Contest and others were strong debaters. This year we have two representatives in State Contests. Fred Peters, besides helping win an unanimous decision in the debate with Kansas City,was a strong man in the Peace Contest and Walter Foltz, whom we so proudly claim this year and who so valiantly won in the state Prohibition Contest last year, in spite of mumps, and won third place in the Interstate, is ,again our worthy Prohibition orator. These college days have been joyous and profitable ones to each of us and we are earnestly striving to gain some of the poise, understanding, sympathy, broadmindedness, inspiration, and dignity of our beloved Faculty, that we may take our places in the World's onward progress. A few years hence you may find among the great ministers, missionaries, musicians, artists, professors, statesmen and even presidents those who are proud to write after their names Kansas Wesleyan University, Class of Nineteen-hundred-eighteen.

The saying that, You can't keep a good man down, is just as true of an organization as of a man. We Sophomores are here to show the World what We are. Already, We have shaken the college world by our numerous yet Withal modest achievements. Our first notable adventure was when We were Fresh- men. Then it was that the red and black lioated proudly over the college cam- pus, undaunted until it Was kicked in the dust by time and foe. Again during the last fall the world was shaken by the knowledge of the monstrous deed perpetrated against us by a vast horde of verdant foes. But We are famous in other ways, besides battle. What would our University do Without our ora- tors, our debaters, our ball players and our scholars? Verily, We are stars of the iirst magnitude and soon expect to rival the sun himself, in brightness. FIA-5,1-'5-9:22 50 ' . - ' . -af 'Z-ri' ' ' ' AQ... A. A - 4-A . 'asfs-f ll!

Tfrcsbman Class filfistory The Freshman class of 1916-'17 of Kansas Wesleyan University was ninety-five strong at the Opening of school last fall. Besides being large in quantity We are also there with the goods in quality-as the Sophomores found out in the Freshman-Sophomore football game and class fight the second week of School. Our first social event was following the class scrap. We felt so sorry for the poor Sophs that We took them out to White's Ford and gave them a picnic. On this occasion Mr. White's watermelon patch suffered Cmuch Shame to the SOphs.j A few weeks later the class had a hike which was enjoyed by all Who participated. Our class at this Writing numbers about eighty. We still have the punch as was shown when We took both the boys and girls' inter-class basketball tournament. Our history thus far at K. W. U. is a brief but brilliant one. Keep an eye on the 1916-'17 Freshman class of K. W.

In no other class will you find students brighter, more intelligent, or with greater possibilities. We are ever changing. Some will pass on into the Freshman class and others will go out into the world for service, but we will not forget them. New faces Will appear among us and we shall be glad of the opportunity to make them feel at home among us and at ease in the new atmosphere. We are striving, ever striving, and as our yell goes- Ach Loui! Chop Soui! Watch the Ac's Hop tui!! We will keep striving until we have achieved.

UTT Dean .62- g '.,--Qin-Q ga--ig 'Ciba College of music .p,,,f,3j HE year 1916-'17 has been one of the most successful the College of Music has ever seen. Not only have the voice and piano depart- ments kept up a steady growth, but the violin department, under LA Mr. Bernhardt, has become of equal rank. During the year, the Salina Madrigal Choir, made up of pupils of the school, has given two concerts, and also appeared before the Kansas State Music Teachers' Association. This organization, with a few changes each year, has been under the direction of Professor Utt for four seasons. Those who are in a position to know of the work of other organizations of like char- acter, say that the work done is of higher grade than of any other organiza- tion in the state. Under the leadership of Prof. Utt and the able assistance of Mr. Bern- hardt, the Salina Orchestra was organized early in the fall, and has given four popular Sunday afternoon concerts which were quite largely attended, no admission being charged. For next season it is hoped to make this orchestra larger and better, and to give at least five concerts. The December concert will very likely be a performance of Handel's Messiah, With these various organizations open to the advanced student, and with the numerous recitals given throughout the year, the College of Music offers the best of opportunity for the pupil to put into practice the things he learns. Along the line of musical appreciation, Salina has been offering some very fine events. Among them being the San Carlo Opera Company, the Minne- apolis Symphony Orchestra and performances of several cantatas by the various church choirs. A number of light operas have also been heard during the year, making it possible for one to hear most any type of music he desires. To one desiring to obtain a high-grade musical education, the College of Music offers every advantage, as well as the advantages to be obtained be- cause of the music affairs of the city of Salina. ?H :era '4'- I f . af '- K f'1 f3.- ,.

Aga,- sw----Q 'Debate one Oratory .QWYQEF I-IE year 1916-'17 has marked the innovation of a new system in inter- collegiate debate and oratory in the. Kansas Wesleyan University. The Inter-collegiate debate teams have been given regular organized 53- Ka class work with college credit and oratory credit has also been given. In September a class of thirty students took up the study of the question, Resolved: that national prohibition can best be secured and made effective by electing to power some political party pledged to national prohibition as a governmental p0licy. Several books, pamphlets, magazines and prohi- bition papers were placed upon the shelves in the library for the use of the students in the class, which met four times a week. Friday of each week was set aside for class recitation and the discussions were based upon Foster's Argumentation and Debate. The text was completed and the examination given at the close of the first semester. Debates on the prohibition question were arranged with Kansas City University, Cooper College and Midland College. It became necessary to take up the study of the second question in order to complete arrangements for debates with Simpson College and the Nebraska Wesleyan and the University of Denver, so arrangements were finally made to debate the institutions on the following question, Resolved: That the Federal Government should own and operate all of the railroads within her borders, constitutionality waived. Eight of the men after studying the question for several weeks arranged for a division of the class to meet three hours per week and then meet with the regular class on Friday for reg- ular Work in the textbook. These eight men gave some four months' study to the government ownership question. Most of the debates occurred during the month of March. The first debate on the prohibition question was with Kansas City University and was a unanimous victory for Wesleyan, the second debates were the two debates making up the dual debate with Midland College at Atchison and resulted in a unanimous decision for our affirmative team at Salina and a debate which was given as a split decision to Midland. The next debate on this question was with Cooper College where We had our real clash on the question. The Cooper men had had very thorough training and their affirmative team presented an unusually strong line-up, very similar and equal to the line-up of our affirmative team. At the close of the main speeches one of the judges marked his ballot for Cooper, and if that would have been the proper place to mark a ballot he would not have been very far off from a good judgment. In the rebuttal, however, our boys came back strong while the Cooper boys hardly measured up to their main speeches, so our crowd was hopeful for a decision and was surprised at the two to one decision for Cooper. All of the debaters who were at the debate considered it a very close contest and one which showed extensive study and thorough training on both sides. H The first debate on the Government Ownership question was with Simpson College. This was an unusually strong debate. Both teams showed thorough study and the general impression was that in argument the teams were about equal, the rebuttal was hard-fought and the decision was a two to one in favor of Simpson. Probably the strongest speeches were made at Nebraska Wesley- an the following evening, where the Kansas Wesleyan University upheld the affirmative. In the organization of both the main speeches and rebuttals the debate was a draw in the minds of most of the hearers. They must frankly admit, however, that in the rebuttal the Nebraska men were more effective in presentation as they were not so closely confined to cards as were our men. .nun Vi - ing Lf .Ii-'X -741 vw asv:-L .ar -f-.1 FFF .

A The closing man was an unusually strong speaker and we all decided that they deserved the decision on their effectiveness of presentation. The debate with the Colorado University is still to come. We are in cor- respondence with four colleges up North which have already debated the same question this year, in regard to arranging a tour with one of our teams. In oratory our showing thus far has been creditable, but not what we had expected. Nelson L. Bossing represented Wesleyan in the Old Line Contest at Newton. ln elimination contest in which the orations of fifteen men were graded by judges, Mr. Bossing carried off highest grades. This grade, how- ever, did not enter into the decision of the judges in the final contest of the seven highest which were the ones to participate. The judges in this contest were evidently not impressed so favorably, for some of them dropped him to one of the lowest places. Wesleyan had a delegation of seven at the contest and all were confident of second place and it was some consolation to know that several of the public speakers gave us second. All agreed, however, that Washburn was entitled to first place. C. Walter Foltz represented us at the State Prohibition Contest at Baldwin. Foltz had been state winner and took third at the interstate and we were very hopeful that the performance would be repeated this year. There were seven contestants in the state contest and the contest was an unusually strong one. Harry J. McCain, the I. P. A. secretary, declared that the contest was stronger than most of the interstate contests. Foltz was given second place, first place going to Ottawa. This was not an easy contest for the judges to decide, and there was some oppor- tunity for the judges to differ. We were glad to know that the two judges who gave Foltz first were two public speaking men, having graduated under Cum- nock at Chicago and Powers at Boston. From the other judges we had a second and a third. F. J. Peters represented us at the state Peace Contest at Fairmont. Peters had a strong oration and represented us creditably, while he was given fifth place, when we remember that this is his first year in oratory we have great hopes for next year. The experience he has had as one of the debaters in three of our debates this year has given him training which will aid him greatly in next year's Work. Kansas Wesleyan enters the Ladies' State Oratorical Contest for the first time. The contest is to be held at Friends University at Wichita on April 20th. Miss Mabel Parker is our representative and here is to her success. Kansas Wesleyan has made a splendid record in debate and oratory. A record of twenty-one victories out of thirty previous to this season is one of which we may well be proud. A record of three firsts, four seconds, two thirds in the Old Line Contest, four firsts, four seconds and two thirds in the State Prohibition Oratorical Contest and one first and one third in the Inter- state Contest 5 two seconds and two thirds in the State Peace-which is an unusual record for oratory. Adding to the record the victories of the present year, gives us a record of which we will put up with any of our neighboring institutions. Furthermore, it is to be doubted whether any college in Kansas can show training for as many debating teams and Oratorical contests as our institution has sent out during the present college year. We do not know that there is any other college that has been represented in all four state ora- torical contests. We do not know that any college has sent out four different men's teams and two ladies' teams. However, the two ladies' teams did not paricipate in intercollegiate debates because we were unable to complete debate relations with Southwestern or Friends, because of a shortage of lady debaters at those institutions and the institutions with which we corresponded. Our mens teams have already engaged in six debates with three victories, only one unanimous decision against them with the Denver debate and possibly four con- tests if the arrangements for the Northern tour is completed will still follow. .als co OTE f 2 Tliansas Wesleyan--Nebraska Wesleyan ' N Negative ROUSE BOSSING FOLTZ Ajirmative Unanimous decision H -....-.- ' H A , S Q , , -4, .. , - 'ern'-f gn: H M-- A , -- .: . - ........ - 3, .

What a delight lt 1S to uncover and unfold the leaves that long LXQQQJP since would naturally have mouldered and decayed. But as we walk along in this woods, stooping to pick up a leaf here, or turn over another there, a faint, sweet fragrance fills the air coming up from the leaves on which we tread. And what do the leaves say? The one we just picked up-it is faded and almost all of its former beauty is gone. It must be an old, old leaf, and indeed it is, for see what is written upon its face. The struggles and trials of the Athenaeum Society when Dl'St organized and the persistent effort and loyalty of the first members are printed deeply within its veins. And of the other leaves we pick up, some foretell the glorious future of former Athenaeums some recall past programs of literary art and music. Sometimes it seems as if we can yet hear the lovely tones of some beautiful voice or the sweet strains of a violin as the wind gathers up our leaves in its embrace and carries them on to distant worlds. Here are leaves that relate the oratorical victories of our brother Delphians. These bright colored leaves recall our good times, our banquet and social gatherings. And that large leaf beside the rock to the right of the path, what do the letters painted upon its face say?- Barge of Old Delphi -how it recalls to our minds our ship of blue and white. Now we are treading upon the leaves that have fallen this year. They are still quivering with the joys that lie fresh in our memories-our triumphs, our Delphian-Athenaeum Banquet, held on an isle of Japan beneath the Delphian Oracle, our garden party to the new girls, our other good times and our joy and appreciation for the new students that have entered our ranks. The path seems to be turning now and the shadows appear less dense. We have reached a small clearing, and oh, see! the leaves have been blown aside and small blue fiowers cover the ground. These stand for the truth and loyalty of our brother Delphians, whose ideals we also strive to attain. We are quite familiar with the paths of the present for we tread them each succeeding day, therefore let us seek the path of the future. Strange to say, it leads us over the same ground we trod in the past, only instead of looking down at the leaves which lie at our feet we look upward at the buds upon the branches above our heads. Each falling leaf left behind it a bud whose blossoming will be more sweet and perfect on account of the leaf that has lived just before it. We have almost reached our starting point and here in front of us stretches a patch of daisies which we failed to see when entering the woods. The sweet fragrance which comes to us from the flowers, the purity of their white petals and the friendliness of their faces, which looking ever upward can see only good, all seem to be included in the ideal and motto which we as Athenaeums strive to realize- Audenfes Meliora.

The Delphian Literary Society has not been an exception to this standard or ideal. The past year's Work has re- is- J sulted in the individual development of Delphi's members in literary and social lines. Collectively we have attained a standard which will serve as an example for others, because our members at all times have worked to- gether to 'secure tha? laarmony among individuals which is fundamentally necessary in a success u organization. Our strength from year to year has depended upon our ability to secure and develop new members. This year in addition to a large number of new members who were among the best of the new students, we have been strength- ened by the addition of a number of our former members, who have returned to our ranks again. Our ranks may not be first in numbers, but in using de- velopngent of olld and ngw members as a means by which our strength is per- meate , we ran secon to none. Our literary as well as our social functions have been one success suc- ceeding another. The programs have been varied, but whether light or heavy, have shown the result of consistent work in preparation. Receptions, banquets and spreads constitute the features of our social life, which have resulted in good fellowship among our own members and have given us the opportunity of enjoying associations with the members of our sister society, the Athenaeums. Our members have represented the school in a number of forensic contests and their ability has been a credit to K. W. U. and old Delphi. In addition to our present number of orators and debaters we have more in the making and before another year has passed and gone the voices of the men of Delphi will have brought victories untold for K. W. U. and her Purple and Gold. The ship of Delphi may have encountered rough voyages in the past- submarines of doubt, fear and destruction may have lurked on every side, but as the close of this year draws near, the vast expanse of trackless and troubled waters is almost past, our emblem, the anchor, will be slowly lowered as we glide into the harbor at commencement time and each member of the crew, when we shall have anchored in this, the harbor of safety, will face the future as he has learned to do by following our motto, which has gleamed as a beacon light through the clouds of difficulty throughout the passing years- Know Thyselff' -p-avr' .gs1n..,g., -iaggssrig. .,. - ,W Z., 2 1: az'-. - 4 ,al 'ff A ' , V- ' A , 'B' ,ia .1-.-gi TM r , 4. ... ne- V -,dag -85- H -. -- ,wi ...

Miner- va, pitying mortals for their ignorance and ineffectiveness, desired to 1' ' create a new society in the Kansas Wesleyan University that all women of the University might receive literary training. This society should be composed of only the women whose aim should be to seek the greatest 'good for the greatest number. Long the gods discussed the plan, but Minerva's counsel prevailed. It was finally decided to send two goddesses to earth each year who should act as presidents for the society. The name of this society should be called Zetagathean, which, being interpreted, is Seeking Good. The Zetagathean Society has increased in numbers, popularity and ef- fectiveness. Never has it failed to fulfill Minerva's vision for it and this last year it has surpassed her greatest expectations. Two most powerful goddesses have acted as its presidents. First, Themis, goddess of Justice, known to the mortals as Fern Traylor, and then Harmione, goddess of Harmony, whom the people of earth call Mabel Parker. This year the Zetagatheans have added to their number many new members whom the gods have endowed with talents that will strengthen the society. There are mortals among the Zetas who have a talent for business affairs, and never has the Kansas Wesleyan seen more business-like meetings than the Zetagatheans carry on in their closed-door sessions. The open-door programs have also increased in excel- lency, as Apollo has directed the members of the society in music and poetry, and the nine Muses have become interested in this unusual group of earthly women, and have aided them in learning self-expression, and in attaining the highest self-development. The Zetagatheans also have inherited the social instincts of the goddesses and this year has been especially rich in social functions. The Ionians have united with the Zetagatheans in banquets, I-Iallowe'en parties, spreads, pic- nics and various other social activities. On these occasions the gods and goddesses delight in adding to the enjoyment of the mortals. Venus endows them with beauty, and Hebe with youth, Orpheus makes for them sweet music and Flora adds her gift of flowers. At times even Minerva has been almost envious of the joys of these girls. However, their gratitude for the aid of the goddesses is so sincere, and their love for each other so strong that the gods and goddesses can but pro- phesy yet greater things for the Zetagatheans, as they wave aloft the Lemon banner and shout the magical words: Hip-I-I !

The Color shall be Crimson. si f..,:Q1 VER since October 29, 1892, when a small group of men met to form a society which should embody the ideals necessary for true develop- fs i ment, Ionia has advanced along the lines of true attainment. A ' ' ' retrospective view of this year's work shows that this ideal has never faded from the minds of the followers of the standard of Ionia. Her aim has been to prepare men to play well their part in the drama of the world. For this purpose special stress has been laid upon the powers of expression which are essential for the broadest development of personality and for the clear- est expression of thought. Our open- and closed-door programs have been the efficient mediums through which this goal has been reached.As an efficient organization we must take an inventory of our stock ledger. Our assets have been the wills and purposes of Ionia's followers. That we have realized a highly profitable rate of interest upon our investment is shown by the results of the year. We believe that the most important factor in the success of Ionia has been the royal spirit of co-operation which has been shown by her members. Every task has found a willing doer. It is this spirit of fellowship which has been so prominent in the work of the past year, but we as Ionians, realize that past successes will never insure the preservation of future hopesg therefore, no Ionian is willing to rest upon his oars, but resolves to make the future better than the past. We feel that we have no reason to be displeased with the results of the past year. New men have been added to our ranks who will uphold the honor of our society throughout their collegiate career. We can safely leave her record in their hands. Next year will find some of the old members absent, but their places will be filled by more willing Workers. The future of Ionia is brilliant. Only time is required to realize it. .. Ji! -lx' -254+ :.:.:: -' 5273- X z-il wavy. 5: pu A: 1 , - - 5 ' 4. .. - -.I 191... S QYQ . .. KM,-e-A 1 f ' . L-A ...

A very large majority of the girls gig? 41054 in school are members of the Association and they meet together every Wednesday evening from seven until eight o'clock in the Association room at Schuyler Hall for their devotional meetings. g In these meetings, the keynote is unselishness. The ideal of service to other girls through kindness and helpfulness which is held up here has a strong influence over all the girls of the school. It is the purpose of the Y. W. C. A. at the Wesleyan to develop strong Christian womanhood with a vision of world-wide service. The annual Christmas tree for the poor children of Salina was given on Wednesday before vacation, when one hundred and seventy-live children were made happy. The Social Service committee has made several visits to the poor farm to cheer the old people there and sent Christmas gifts and fruit to them. Several of the girls have been teach- ing in the mission school in the north part of town. The hope that Wesleyan might have a rest-room for the girls was realized when the Board of Trustees granted the southwest basement room to the Y. W. C. A. for that purpose. The room was papered and furnished by the Association. The college Voluntary Study course was adopted and four classes were organized for college girls in the Sunday School. 194- 37. 522. C TA.

This room 9 the Trustees graciously allowed the Y. M. C. A. to claim as its own and the mem- ' bers immediately set about to secure furnishings. After many meetings and plans with much boldness and anxiety, a piano, some new chairs, a table and carpet for the aisles were secured and the room was partly furnished. Then with curtains at the windows, a pic- ture orlsf djonated by frifndly people and a missionary map of the world, the new home of the Y. . . A. was rea y for use. No Association is complete without its leaders and its chief, for only under good, efficient men can the work prosper and grow. This year the Y. M.C. A. has been under the leadership of C. M. Nutter as president. Mr. Nutter is a Senior and much loved by the men of the Association. The midweek devotional meetings on Wednesday evening have been interesting and helpful due to the men who have led the meetings. Earl Hillbrand as vice-president has been responsible for the procuring of these leaders and has given us some very good ones indeed. Business men, doctors, faculty men and students have contributed to this phase of the work. The finances have been handled by F. J. Peters, who entered into the work with that spirit of earnestness which we all love to see. He has made good and the Association has chosen him for its president during the year to come. 'The secretary for the year was Ralph Snyder, and the other members of the cabinet were C. Walter Foltz, Roy Matthews, L. G. Snyder, Mark E. Smith, C. B. Boddy and Nelson Bossing. These men were the heads of the various committees. Will Austin has been the reporter to the Advance. With these men on the cabinet as helpers, Mr. Nutter has been doing some good work this year. The social aifairs of the year were the joint Y.W. and Y.M. C. A. reception party for the new students at the beginning of the year where everyone got acquainted, and the Y. M. stag party held in the gymnasium where all the men met for a rousing good time. ' Thus we see that the Y. M. C. A. has been busy doing good work all the year, and we feel that it has an important place in the life of every student at the Kansas Wesleyan University. gw--mm QQ Qwzks s Ui, I s x E 1 x 41 -if gif UU l5llEi-: il - Je- ,M :mag A--- ...A f - .V , A ir, . llqgggi--43f..-,- 4-- -5' - , - E J i 3421..- -96- Nvensrr . , , COY S OTE 1 3 4320 SVP 19 18 MQ Stuoent Volunteer Bono Watchword- The evangelization of the world in this generation.

Farley Mollie Medcraft Fern Traylor Mary Boddy Nelson L. Bossing Clarence B. Boddy Stephen A. Haboush Martha Morrell ACH Monday evening of the school year a little group of students has gathered gg' together to -study the problems of the missionary work: and to Join with one another I for prayer in behalf of this mighty work. They are a part of a world movement for the evangelization of the world. The local band is adiliated with the Interna- ' tional Student Volunteer Union, whose headquarters is in New York. Every member of the local band has declared his intention of spending his life upon the mission field, and the date of graduation and the time when each one expects to be ready to sail is on record at New York. This careful oversight is kept of the volunteers. And when they are ready to go, the church can call them to their workg as the movement is interdenominational and onlgf secures recruits for the various churches to which the members of the band may chance to e ong. The plan of the work in the local band for the year past has been a study of the various pamphlets issued by the Student Volunteer Movement, taking one week each month for a review of The World Outlook, a magazine which gives the foreign conditions as they exist today, and our effort as a christian church to meet these conditions. The meetings of the band are not open to the student body except upon one evening of the month when the band tries to present the claims of the various fields. At the closed sessions of the band the routine work of the missionary's life is considered and the preparation that each one can best make to meet the problems which will have to be solved when the Held has been reached. Many of our band have gone out to the field in past years. And now we have members of the band in practically every mission Held of the world. Last year two of our band went to the field shortly after graduation. This year two of the band are seniors but both of them expect to take post graduate work as a further preparation before sailing.

T reasurer Four years ago there was formed at the Kansas Wesleyan, an organization known as the Student Council. This body is made up of representatives from the four college classes and the Academy, whose duty it is to systematically discharge all business relating to student activities. The constitution provides for regular meetings every two weeks. Perhaps the greatest responsibility of the Council is to successfully finance the student activities, which are numerous for a school of this size. To provide a fund each student is required to pay a fee of four dollars each semester. Upon payment of this fee he receives a Student Enterprise Ticket, which admits him to all athletic contests, hand concerts, de- bates and oratorical contests and entitles him to a copy of the college paper each week. In this way every enterprise of the school receives the support of the entire student body and it in no way works a hardship on anyone. This year there have been several changes made in the constitution. Heretofore debates and oratory have been in the hands of student managers, but now they are under the direct supervision of the head of the Department of Oratory. The physical director how has charge of athletic contests. These changes, we believe, will help to strengthen these activities. A change has also been made in the awarding of letters to our athletes. A committee, made up of the physical director and three members of the council elected by the council. makes recommendations which are to be approved by the council, and in this way all who are worthy receive honor. We know that the methods of the Student Council are by no means perfect, but each year the members strive to do only those things which will make for the advancement of our college. ..

W. IC. Bbano 1' W HE Kansas Wesleyan this year has the best band in the history of the University. During the last two years exceptional talent has entered the school, and a well- balanced band has been formed, capable of playing a difficult grade of music. l Our band can be compared favorably with any other like organization in the state. Mr. T. S. Howell, the director of the Salina Band has again been secured as director of the K. W. U. band. In every way he is a competent director, having played with and directed several of the leading bands in the state. The band has done its share in keeping up the pep of the school. Besides playing several concerts each semester, the band has been ever present at all athletic contests and debates. z'1'Q,2. ig, The following is the personnel of the band: TOM S.

M. Nutter Charles Miller Ed Bossing Leland Draher Ralph Todd Bass Drum Snare Drum E Flat Bass Jesse Shank Ben Wood Claude Diehl Glindon Rouse has been student band manager for the past two years and under his man- agement the band has been very successful. His success has been greatly dependent on the fact that he is living in Salina and knows personally all of the local musicians. In this way we have the best wishes of the local musicians and through him a number of the younger musicians have been influenced to enroll in K. W. U. With his graduation the band loses a very capable manager as well as a good trombonist. We are very sorry that he will not be our manager next year, as we very much need a local man for the place. We hope that his successor, as soon as elected, will have the success that Mr. Rouse had. One thing that has created interest in band work for the past two years is the awarding of honors to all members, faithful in attendance at rehearsals and concerts. Every qualified musician in the K.W.U. band who has been present at eighty per cent of the rehearsals and concerts is awarded an emblem. This is a felt lyre with a K. W. U. monogram placed upon it. If the Wesleyan University continues to hold the same interest in the band that she has during the past year, we will always have a band to be proud of, and one that will take second place to none of its kind in the state.

WYNANT Schuyler fllfall Where are you going to college this year, Katherine? To the Kansas Wesleyan. It Oh! And are you going to stay at Schuyler Hall? Why, I don't know-what is Schuyler Hall? ll It is a home for the out-of-town girls who attend the Wesleyan. You want to be sure to go there. We have a Mother who cares for us when we are ill, to whom we can tell our little troubles and to whom we can go for any problem that may come up while we are away from our own mothers. We have such social times among ourselves. There are so many of us we can't get homesick. When you have thirty girls in one family you know there is usually something stirring. We have an organization similar to a club, with songs and yells to suit every occasion. Another good thing about the Hall is that you save shoe leather going to your meals and back again. The dining room is in the basementg therefore you have but one, two or three flights of stairs to traverse six times a day at least, depending upon the location of your room. There are five parlors at the girls' commands, in which they may entertain their callers and friends. These parlors are quite Curiosities to those girls who have no use for them. You are sure to miss half your life and the equivalent of a year's edu- cation if you do not stay at the Hall. A a - g M - A - Hs- -M.ss .2a2 ss e f .--A g Sigma, ha, ..,,,.

Education behind the plow and over the cookstove will never be a drawback to the advancement of this, our modern civilization, but rather one of its golden assets. Education dressed up is not one whit better than when it is in ging- ham and overalls. No matter what garb you put on your learning, you cannot mask it so that it will not be discovered. WESLEYAN IS GROWING The Wesleyan is increasing both in the number of students and also in the number of buildings. The enrollment has increased in the collegiate department and is becom- ing .smaller in the academy. Our new gymnasium was opened for the first time this year and has been in active use, not only by the athletic teams and the student gymnasium classes, but by the citizens of Salina. Along with the gymnasium came a change in the athletic affairs of the college and they are now under the sole charge of the athletic director of the University, G. R. Edwards. THE ADVANCE PRINT SHOP The Hrst steps toward the establishment of this plant were taken last spring. The Advance management got a vision of the possibilities of a University Printing Com- pany and soon plans were made and material bought for the equipment of a first class shop. Everything was installed last spring ready for adjustment when school opened in September. It was a big task to get the equipment in shape, and everything running smoothly at first, but in a few weeks the company was putting out some first class work. A great many thought that the instiga- tors were undertaking a larger job than they were capable of handling, but it has been proven beyond a doubt that the shop has a prosperous future ahead of it. In addition to printing the Advance they have done an enormous amount of job work. The patronage has surpassed even the ex- pectations of the promoters. Several jobs have been done for out of town Alumni who are interested in the growth and welfare of the Wesleyan. All the printing firms down town have had a special interest in our shop and have helped in many ways. This, indeed, has been appreciated very much. The Advance is the only college paper, except the University Kansan, that is printed in its own shop. THE COLLEGE IDEA Every man should begin, when he first enters college, to take part in some college activity outside of his studies. He should, by careful study and choice, ind out what activities will do him the most good and then go into those things for all he is worth. By entering these various activities, he may come in contact with the different boys or girls, as the case may be. Then, also, it has a broadening effect, and fits him for future problems of life. OUR APPRECIATION The management of the Advance and the staff have now finished their year of work for the University and it is their hope that they have been of service to that Uni- versity. It was only through the aid and assistance of the staff that this was able to be-accomplished. It has been an honor that comes but once in a lifetime for us to serve you in this capacity of Editor of the official student organ and at all times we have striven to express the student opinion on all matters and to champion anything that was felt would be of use to us. As we lay down our pen and go out into life we shall always remember this as one of the richest years of our life when we had the privilege to serve the student body of Kansas Wesleyan University. -110- ADVANCE STAFF IE 'F H 0 .IU lu: -4 ' x ffi3m Q 5 5 - is 5 Q UE a.'b 1., 5 Suasvd H on O -i M ! e 'Q' gtvr--22 95 -QQ Tbbc Coyote ,17 G.

Especially do we wish to if .5 5 balk, of the pictures, and Mrs. Janet Allerton for her most appreciated help in the Art Department. The help received from the members of the Junior class, not on the Staif, is very much appreciated. Much of the work would have been delayed if it had not been for their timely assistance. We also wish to thank those who contributed kodak pictures, for it is largely due to kodak views that any annual owes its success. The Editor-in-Chief wishes to express his thanks to those of the Staff who have aided him in the forming of this book. To the editors who have proved more of a drawback than anything else, he can only optimistically say that he is glad, despite the non-performance of their dutes, the Annual is gfinished. Again we wish to express our merest thoughts to you, students of K. W. U., who have been a hindrance to the Coyote '17 in various ways. In some ways we wish it would fall to your lot to edit an annual at some future time. However we consider that too great an honor for anyone of your caliber. You are a drawback to your school and will undoubtedly later on prove a hindrance to humanity. Our only hope for you is that in the near future you will use the simple processes of introspection and that after applying the needed remedy you will reform. The Management extends their most sincere thanks to those merchants and advertisers who have aided in making the publication of the Coydte '17 a success. If to you, dear Reader, this book recalls any memories of the past-if you have any interest in it at all-if old K. W. U. has a warm place in your heart, let it be known. Boost her while you are in Salina by doing business with the people who help her. They are the people who will treat you square or they would not believe in the progress of such an institution as the Kansas Wesleyan Uni- versity. .. 1 A ' V - .Q ' tiEf1iiT..'.. .af 5355 11-: -3?-Y' -' P' W-T533-il? -112- -SU- THE COYOTE '17 STAFF My S' qli5 lA Q SNBSY4 rn I.. 2, 5 ,W 'fo 5? x Sf I Et?-wwf sy -If ,-I 0 FIU so 'C , Nznsr-5, ' COY ' OTE . 2 1, fi SSX :Z sr 19 18 vi 'Early College Tlfistory 4 QEarly History of some things, in connection with the Kansas Wesleyan University from the private records of M. M. Stoltz, A. N. See and R. A. Hofman, that otherwise might be lost.l In the early eighty's the members of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Northwest Kan- sas, began debating the question, whether the state of Kansas was not large enough to support more than one Methodist College. Consequently, at the first session of the Northwest Kansas Conference, held at Beloit, March 15-19, 1883, Bishop Harris, presiding, on the second day of the Conference a motion was made by Dr. R. A. Caruthers and seconded by M. M. Stolz, that an institution of higher learning be established. The motion carried almost unanimously. A special committee of six, consisting of R. A. Caruthers, R. A. Hoffman, J. A. Antrim, D. D. Campbell, R. G. Miller and F. D. Baker was appointed to consider and report upon the pro- priety of establishing such a school west of the sixth principal Meridian. Educational reports were called for and President W. H. Sweet of Baker University, was introduced and addressed the Conference in behalf of Baker University. The sum of three hundred dollars was asked of the Conference, also, that the educational funds now on hand be given to Baker. After considerable debate it was so ordered, and the proposed educational institution had a harder financial struggle on account of the action. The special committee appointed by the Confer- ence made the following report, viz: Whereasg The growing necessities of the West are such as to require at an early date, the location of an institution of higher learning somewhere within its boundariesg and feeling assured that that necessity will be supplied from some source, and believing it to be the duty of the Methodist Episcopal Church to accept the situa- tion, we recommend-First-The location of such an institution gSecondly-That this Confer- ence appoint a Board of Trustees, to secure a charter for that purposeg Thirdly-That this board consist of nine persons, ive ministers and four laymen, including the following, viz: J. W. Lockwood, R. A. Caruthers, H. W. Sudendorf and Martin Mohler, that this Conference empower this Board of Trustees to entertain proposals for the location of the institution. This report was adopted, and at the same time the following five additional members were elected: J. S. Goodwin, C. E. Sweet, A. N. See, W. G. Breed and M. M. Stolz. A very liberal charter was secured and the Trustees incorporated, according to the laws of the State of Kansas under the name of the Kansas Wesleyan University. A few years later a charter for the name Kansas Wesleyan Business College, in connection with the Kansas Wesleyan University, was secured. The Board of Trustees, organized by electing J. H. Lockwood, Presidentg Rev. A. N. See, Secretary, and Rev. M. M. Stolz, Treasurer. The secretary was instructed by the Board of Trustees to advertise in the county papers of the central and eastern part of the Conference for bids, for the town offering the best inducements would secure the College, other things being equal. The bids to be opened by the Board of Trustees at the close of a specified time. The Board met at Solomon, July Sth. The towns of Ellsworth, Clyde and Salina sent in bids. Salina offered fifteen acres of beautiful land on the southern boundary of the city and twenty- six thousand dollars in money to help meet the first building. The Trustees after carefully considering all bids and examining the grounds, voted to accept Salina's offer and located the institution at Salina. A stock company had established an independent Normal University in the west end of the city, and had secured twenty-one thousand dollars in stock subscriptions, cash and dona- tions. Many of the members of the Methodist Episcopal Church were among the most liberal subscribers and some of them thought it was not a wise thing to attempt the building of two colleges in so small a town. To satisfy this element and secure an undivided interest 1n the proposed institution, the Trustees planned to secure the Normal University. A com- mittee consisting of Rev. A. N. See and M. M. Stolz was appointed to secure all the Normal stock they could by donation and purchase. The Presbyterians, Methodists and many others holding about three-fourths of all the stock pledges, were willing to sign over their stock to the newly named Kansas Wesleyan University. The members of the Christian or Cambellite Church, and a few others could not be persuaded to donate or sell their stock. The matter was not fully given up, when the conference met at Salina, March 19, 1884, Bishop Merrell presiding, but as the committee had nothing definite to report, the Conference took no action I -1 M 4 A ,M i nfra -. get -.. . -- a L ....,:'4'- 1 B giIg3 -M -114- xxxqznsrg, COY ' OTE Q gif 19 is 18 Ng, relative to the Salina Normal and in a few years the College, as such, closed and was never reopened. In September, 1904, the building burned. The third session of the Conference held at Clyde, March 26-30, 1885, Bishop Ninde pre- siding, Rev, J. H. Lockwood, President of the Board of Trustees made an impassioned speech in favor of establishing a College of high grade, urging that immediate action be taken. In a short time a subscription of four thousand dollars was given, many of the preachers subscribing one-hundred dollars each. Some of these men had to borrow money to get to their appoint- ments. After the Conference adjourned Bishop Ninde was requested by the Trustees to ap- point Rev. R. A. Hoffman, Conference Educational Agent. Brother Hoffman entered upon the duties of his office some months before the college was located. He had faith in God that the work would succeed, and his faith was not in vain. At the end of the Conference year the subscriptions and collections amounted to over thirteen thousand dollars. Soon after it was learned that the Trustees of the Southwestern Kansas Conference were planning to erect a new college. Our Trustees met with them and urged the unification of the two Conferences for one College, but the Southwestern Trustees rejected it and later located their College at Winfield in the extreme Southeast corner of the state. This left all the Cen- tral and western part of the state without an institution of College grade. The Board of Trus- tees felt compelled to make an effort at least to locate a College. Mr. A. M. Clafiin, an old resident of Salina and a member of the Board of Trustees, was very much interested in Salina taking speedy and positive action to secure the College, and so had a number of other prominent men and women. Among the women especially active was Mrs. Cyntha A. See, wife of the Secretary of the Board, Rev. A. N. See. PLAN CONCEIVED BY MR. A. M. CLAFLIN AND MRS. SEE TO SECURE THE FIFTEEN ACRES OF LAND AND THE TWENTY-SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS One day Mr. Claflin conceived the plan of purchasing a tract of land South of the City and laying it out in City lots and selling them at one hundred dollars each, without regard to location. Payments were to be made of 10'5Q, a month till paid for and when seven payments had been made, those buying were summoned to meet, to select by lot the particular lots they would have, and each one was to accept the lots that he drew and be satisfied with them. Mr. Claflin secured an option on the land at a certain price provided it was taken within a specified time and then went to his ofhce in North Salina on Santa Fe Avenue and wrote out subscription lists for every pastor in the Conference after consulting with Mrs. See about the matter. Mr. Claflin desired me as secretary, to send to each pastor in the conference, sub- scription lists with instructions to rush them, as there was only a week to work in, before the plan closed. I agreed to do it though I had no hopes of success. I instructed the pastor to send the papers to me, with what subscriptions they could get, so that I could get them by the night of the seventh, for we would positively meet the eighth at Solomon City, and that the matter must be decided at that time or the plan would fail. We went to work at Salina like beavers and had good success, but we did not have enough, without outside help. This was sent in very freely for the time, but when we took the train at Salina for our meeting there was lack- ing quite a considerable sum to make the plan sure. The people of Salina did not stop but Worked all the harder and finally after we had opened our meeting and talked over some mat- ters we received a telegram signed by H. H. Sudendorf, C. Eberhardt, F. D. Baker, and C. M. Claflin, stating that the lots were all sold, they assuming the balance unsold and inviting us to return and locate the College. It was read to the Trustees and there was a shouting time and we adjourned to meet at Salina as soon as the train would take us. We were met at the depot with conveyances and taken out Sante Fe to the South end of the townsite and then let down a fence and crossed a potato patch and drove along side of a corn field and out onto the prairie one-half mile south of the city limits, now Republic Avenue, and on the highest part of the ground We located the Kansas Wesleyan University. A Kansas Wesleyan Univer- sity Addition Corporation was formed and we entered into contract with them. They, to have the ground surveyed and plotted and shade trees set on each lot and the building erected ac- cording to a plan approved by the Trustees and deeded to the Trustees of the Kansas Wesleyan University free of debt, we on our part to open and maintain an Institution of full College grade perpetually CI thinkj and to furnish a certain amount of Endowment within a certain time. I do not believe we kept our part of the contract in full but Salina has forgiven us and 1 I .4- Q xy un, -Q'-.. , ,f,-gf , -yr 1-. -, 2. -,ef 4 . 'r- '- A 'P' my--:.. . 21.

Notice was sent to all subscribers and notice of monthly payments and when seventy per cent was paid in, the lots were drawn, and the members could have sold their lots for the full amount in a very short time. There was enough to put up the University after pay- ing for the land and all expenses. In other words we bought a farm and sold it to ourselves in lots and had money enough to give nfteen acres for a Campus and pay for the farm and leave twenty-six thousand dollars for a College, and every man's lot was worth all it cost him. Bishop Vincent, on one of his visits to the College Czmpus, hearing the account of how the money was raised to buy the fifteen acres of land and build a twenty-six thousand dollar administration building, said that he had heard of a man lifting' himself over the fence by his bootstraps and he thought that the committee in this case had done it, without a doubt. The name Kansas Wesleyan University was suggested by Hon. A. P. Collins, at one time president of the Board and adopted the ninth of July, 1885. There was another scheme started to make an Endowment on the same plan east of the College grounds and Dr. Lockwood was to engineer the matter and press the sales at one- hundred dollars per lot and all over expenses to become an Endowment fund. Brother Lock- wood began to be fearful that it was a sort of gambling and wrote me about it and I urged him to go on as every man would get the worth of his money and he got me to consult Bishop N inde about the matter and he said it was all right and urged the working of it, but it was delayed and finally an agent was appointed that could make more in selling other lots and we did not make half out of it that we could have done if it had been pressed in the Hrst place and kept out of the hands of an agent. Through the assistance of T. H. Davis, A. M. Clafiin, and C. Eberhardt we did make quite a sum in the transactions, though we had to pay the agent double what we ought to have paid and did not get half the service we should have had. Instead of selling the lots at one hundred dollars each and taking chances as to location we placed a valuation on each lot and let persons choose their lots at the price. While I was Agent at the University, I had a chance to sell several lots to persons who inquired about them and wanted to get a home near the University at some future time, but wanted a location then. I had to refer them to the agent and yet I found in several instances 'that they bought other lots on his recommendation as better than the addition lots for the money. I asked him why he did not sell our lots and could only conclude it was because he could make more selling other lots and yet would not give up the contract to sell our lots so some one else could. He had the only plat of the lots and was the only one that could sell them. I will not say that he was dishonest but I will say that the University was cheated out of thousands of dollars by the transaction in my opinion. They should all have been sold and could all have been if proper effort had been made. We may some time get out of them more than we offered them for but the sale of them at that time and the building up of that part of Salina would have been a great help to the College. -Dr. M. M.

With only four letter men from last year back in school and 93' 'Q a new working system, it was necessary to begin at the bottom and build up our athletics. Our new coach came to us from the Salina High School where he was very successful in his three years of work. He is a Missouri University man with quite a rep- utation in Missouri Valley Athletics, especially in basket- ball. Mr. Edwards, besides coaching all of the athletic COACH EDWARDS teams, has charge of the gymnasium and swimming classes and his work in all departments has been very successful. Another advancement in the athletic department was made when the student council decided to place the management of all athletics in the hands of the coach instead of 'having a student manager for each branch of athletics, as was formerly the system. This will eventually prove to be a great saving as much money was lost and wasted under the old system through the inex- perience of the student managers. Although our record in athletics for this year has not been what we ex- pected, it has nevertheless proved beneficial. It has been the aim of the coach to build up a good foundation for the years to come. The coach will from now on have men in training so that they can fill up the ranks left by the older men. So every year he will be preparing men for work in some depart- ment of athletics for the coming year. In this way we hope to make a record in Athletics of which any school could be proud. .... ,., .

It lost more games than any other and had the distinction of being the Egger worst in Kansas. None other could approach' this record. Right at the start, things did not look right. .To be sure other seasons had 'J started with as poor prospects and turned out happliy, and this thought helped us overlook the fact that only four letter men were trying out for the team, and hardly any of the rest had ever enjoyed working under a coach. Self respect should keep us from recording the failures of the team, but its history will be faithfully recorded in order that future teams of K.W.U., can look back and say, Well our team has not been the worst that Wesleyan has turned out. The first bunch that reported for practice looked good. There were two or three who weighed almost 200 pounds and four or five others almost as heavy. The only pessimistic fact was that the squad consisted of sixteen men. Immediately the coach sent out a call for more candidates, and some of the squad interviewed likely material and begged them to try out. Despite these pleas the number of candidates never increased to any amount. The largest number that ever reported was twenty-one. The statement of the size of our squad always was sufficient excuse to our opponents after we had been drubbed. Without exception players and coaches of other teams offered sym- pathy and encouragementg-not for our poor game but because we had no better chance to make good. The Hrst game was with Fairmount College and was played on the home grounds. We lost 27 to 0, and the defeat put a damper on student support. Near the middle of the season Cooper visited Salina and enthusiasm never ran higher. The students were vocally behind the team and no representatives from this school will ever hear better and more consistent cheering than did the players in that game. Only for a few minutes did Cooper have the upper hand, but the opportunity was taken and a touchdown made. Wesleyan fought on but the time was not long enough, and the game was lost 6 to 0. It was the turning point of the season. Had we won, the team would have gained the necessary confidence and later games would have been entirely different. As before, though, the spirit lagged and the boys often quit the moment things went bad. Looking back over the season no one can lay much of the blame on the team. Green players cannot learn any game without actual competition. The only real practice and opportunity to learn the effects of theory came during the times we faced other teams on the field. Had there been more than two full teams out to every practice and each player forced to the limit to hold his place Kansas Wesleyan would have had a team to be proud of. The material was there but there was no way to develop it. The following men were given letters: Stolz, captaing Wood, captain-elect, Diehl, Cannon, Shank, Jones, Shoemaker, Ruppenthal, Jones, Kerr, Hoskins, Nesmith, Palmer, and Wright. Of these Stolz, Diehl, and Shoemaker graduate in June. Cannon has quit school. The war has made the future of the others uncertain but if all return who are eligible the record of the 1917 team will be one of which to be proud.

The Coyote basketball team won a place in the race which is one to be proud of, taking fifth place in a league of eighteen teams and that, with schools much larger than the Wesleyan. Although the beginning of the schedule was hard since the first eight games were away from home, against strong teams, they did well when not one of the last year's W men was back on the team this year. This year, team work and fight won the victories. Everyone played the game for the five. Toward the end of the season the Coyotes took a spurt by winning five games straight. The Wesleyan's new 840,000 gymnasium has been a great asset for these men as it gave them experience on a large court. Then most of all, the Wesleyan's new athletic manager, was an unestimable aid and no doubt was the real reason that the Coyotes made the showing they did in the conference.. Coach George Edwards has taken a bunch of inexperienced players, and as was said, worked them into shape to such an extent that we won the last five games consecutive. The men in the picture from left to right: ' Lower Row-Raymond Kerr, Guard, Junior College 5 Palmer, forward, Freshman Collegeg Claude Diehl, Captain and center, all around man on the team, Senior Collegeg Ben Wood, guard and center, Junior College, Back Row-Zamrzla, Freshman, made 52 baskets during the season, Coach G.

Most of the other colleges found that a large number of their best men were entering the army or navy in preparation for the war with Germany. So sudden was this move that the teams were left bankrupt for material and most of the sched- ules cancelled. - Early in the spring the subject of the advisability of eliminating baseball from the spring sports and turning all attention to track and tennis met with the approval of the students. Track meets were scheduled with Bethany and Hays Normal, and a quadrangular including these two schools, Cooper and ourselves was arranged. In addition a team was to be sent to the state meet. In preparation for these meets an inter-class meet was held to rind the best men in each event. The number of candidates was so small that classes were combined and two teams participated. The freshman-junior combination proved the best by defeating the sophomore senior team 65 to 55. The meet was close all the way and came down to the last event, the relay, with but ive points separating the teams. A team was selected to compete against Hays but the declaration of international war was made and our opponents cancelled the contest. Bethany did likewise, and the quadrangular was dropped. At this time practically all of our point winners have left school and only Ladd will be sent to the state meet. Tennis does not require the hard work and large number of participants that other sports need, so a few matches will be played. The schedule consists of two .matches with McPherson College, two with Bethany College, and two with St. John's Military school. Both singles and doubles will be played in each match. Y Practice has been limited to work in the gymnasium because of the numerous rains. There was no opportunity to hold an inter-mural tournament and a team was selected from those who made good showings in practice. Roy Miller was selected to play the singles, and teamed with Shoemaker in the doubles. In the first match with McPherson both singles and doubles were lost. With the return of good weather a school tournament is planned and will be an elimina- tion contest in men's singles and doubles, women's singles and doubles and mixed doubles.

The first part of the entertainment was held in the college chapel, where many games were played in order that the new and old students might be- come acquainted. After, the entertainment was brought to an end, the guests were piloted to the new gymnasium, where the banquet was served. The gymnasium was decorated in streamers of the Ionian and Zetagathean colors which were fastened to strings running from one side of the hall to the other and forming a canopy. On the end of the streamers were birds and butterflies of all colors. The breeze blowing through the hall gave them the appearance of flight. The guests entered the gymnasium to the music of a Victrola furnished by the courtesy of the Jenkins Music Company, and were seated by Mr. Peters, master of ceremonies.

The meeting place was the Delphian Hall, which was decorated with banners, pennants and colors. The part of the entertainment which was most enjoyable was the grouping into groups, according to the month of your birthday. As the groups grew in numbers the yells for the months began and they were equal to any at a football game for their spice and clever- ness. After the contest was ended, partners for the evening were found and the guests departed for the banquet hall. On entering the banquet hall one would think that he had been mys- teriously taken from his own land to the city of Tokio, even so far as to hear voices, through the Victrola furnished by the Brassfield Music Company. The decorations were Japanese lanterns of all sizes, umbrellas of many varieties and all kinds of flowers, draperies and wreaths. A cluster of ferns, palms, flowers and fruits in the center of the floor was electrically lighted. After the banquet was served, Miss Mildred Neptune gave a reading, Miss Gardner gave the Athenaeum address of welcome and Mr. Timbers gave the Delphian Oracle.

And, by the way, there were not merely present-they were everywhere-in the gymnasium. Every man in the University was invited on the condition that he don a pair of gym shoes and act like a twelve-year-old boy. Most of the fellows qualified. Seven-thirty was set as the time for the fellows to begin appearing at the door. Not many were late so the fun and frolic of the evening was not long in commencing. Nesmith, Watson and Diehl, the entertainment com- mittee, with the aid of Coach Edwards, kept something stirring all the time. Slapjack Cnot what we eat for breakfastj, horse and rider, and various races, boxing exhibitions and wrestling matches were on the play menu. The wrestling match between Edward Bossing and Lester Shoemaker Was closely contested although Shoemaker pinned 'Ed's shoulders to the mat twice in succession. An exhibition in the same line was given by Earl Green and Ray Heisler. The men showed a lot of good tumbling and various holds. Green had his man down in about five minutes. The boxing matches consisted in a bout between Hoskins and Noah, and Nesmith and Noah. The former, a featherweight battle, was a draw affair, the decision however was awarded to Noah by the flipping of a coin. The feather then proceeded to tackle our latest heavyweight, Mr. Nesmith. Noah claims he landed a solid punch on his opponent's anatomy, but Nesmith didn't know he hit at all. - For a while during the evening's festivites the strenuous stunts were laid aside and an exhibition with illuminated Indian clubs was given by A. L. Hickman, a Senior in the college here last year. With the lights turned out the scene was beautiful and wonderful. College songs-songs of Old Wesli and days that are gone, were sung just before the eats committee, L. G. Snyder, C. L. Mathews and W. A. Austin, served ice cream and cake. After everyone had been sufficiently fed, the free-for-all good time followed. Tumbling, jump-the-rope and shooting baskets, withother side-shows each had a share of the men's at- tention. It was eleven ofclock before everyone left and the fellows had a glorious time in stagging it. Schuyler Tlfall Tarty The girls of Schuyler Hall have a social evening every month.

When all had assembled they went to the attic for the entertainment. Different athletic stunts were performed each girl trying for the championship in that particular event. Nell Bigler held the championship for wrestling and no one seemed to be able to take it from her. The lights were turned out and stories were told. Then they went to the dining room and were served with sherbet and cake. After the refreshments were served we sat on the floor and sang songs. The serenade by the boys was appreciated very highly. Zelagalbcan Calm .fat It is the custom for the Zetagatheans when they return from their Christ- mas vacation to bring with them cake and candy and it is their custom to invite the Ionians to help eat the sweets This year the annual cake eat was held in the Ionian Hall after the lit- erary program. As the boys came to the door each one was to choose a shadow for his partner. Some were sure that they could not be mistaken in the shadow of some fair maiden-but alas! Sandwiches, pickes, cake and candy were served, cafeteria style. Ev- everyone departed at a late hour, saying, I have spent a most enjoyable evening. Ebc litbcnacum Qarocn Tarty The Athenaeum Garden Party was given in the Delphian-Athenaeum Hall September 9, 1916, to the new girls, and for the ladies of the faculty. The hall was changed into a miniature garden. Vines, plants and flowers were used in profusion. A most attractive feature was an open well with an old oaken bucket from which punch was served during the afternoon. The games, the contests, and the luncheon were all unique, original and very appropriate. Zetagatbean Breakfast A Let Sunny Monday bubbles Wash away your troubles.

The evening was fitting for the occasion. The new moon shed a dim, ghostly light on the earth for a time and then left us in darkness to wander through the trees and over the hills. The leader told us to follow the lantern which led us to a hill. Here a circle was formed and We played the old game, Flying Dutchman. While playing, we were suddenly left in the dark and were told to find our way to the eats. The camp was reached after some difficulty in crossing ditches and Wan- dering in the dark forest. We then proceeded to line up to receive the eats, consisting of hamburger sandwiches, pickles, hot coffee, apples and marsh- mallows. Everyone had a good time and some perhaps had an experience which they never had before and may never have again-that of hunting ghosts. fiionian-Zclagallbean Tl'fallowc'cn The Zetagatheans entertained the Ionians at the annual masquerade party October 30th.

The leader guided the group about the Wesleyan Addition and Hnally led them to the chapel. After some time had been spent in getting acquainted with out masked companions, we were told to unmask. The stunt which seemed to give the most amusement was the one on which Jones, the tallest man present, had to eat an apple hung very low, while Austin, the Tom Thumb, was forced to get the apple which hung too high. The snake contest appeared very exciting before the end. The crowd was divided into groups and each group was to find a snake of a certain color. The group having the serpent with the most pieces and a head and tail was given the prize. Partners were chosen in a unique manner and We did justice to the pi- mento cheese sandwiches, olives, pickles, pumpkin pie and coffee.

Thy spirit throbs with the free, pure air Of boundless plains with theirvfruitage fair. Like Israel's host, on the verge thou art Of empire meet for heroic heart! Chorus: Hail to thee, our University! Hail to thee! Our Wesleyan University! Thy sons and daughters go east and west, And north and south in their earnest quest For worthy tasks whose aim is man, And God and Home and Our Native Land. Some take the gospel to heathen strand, And some give heed to the world's demand, For souls who fear not the ill to face In field or forum or market-place. Thou stand'st for culture of heart and head, And hand, for all that the master said Makes manhood strong and womanhood pureg For e'er and aye may thy strength endure 5 Thy hues are purple-the royal tint- And Gold, the treasure of mine and mint: The king of worth and the queen hue fair, Old Gold and Purple-imperial pair. , SANS SOUCI Hurrah for a songg we're sliding along, Study tomorrow or some other day, We all know enough to put up a blui, On the faculty and be gay.

' ' Begun by the Trustees of the University twenty-five years ago, it met the early demand for a good business school. It has grown bigger and better during each of its many years of usefulness. Dr. Roach bravely dared, in spite of jeers, to plant it as a Christian business college, and the Kansas folks and their neighbors have shown their appreciation right along. The K. W. B. C. has made history, Through fat years and lean, in spite of drouth, grasshoppers and floods, ever broader and higher it has grown. By hundreds and thousands the Western boys and girls have filled its halls. By hundreds and thousands they have been sent to banks, to railroads, to business offices, to schools, and to the farms and homes of the Golden West, to become leaders in their respective vocations. The management of the school has changed, but its ideals, expanded and exalted, still make this great school the choice of those Who value training Which emphasizes both moral upbuilding and business efficiency. -150- e5LElAN4A R5 Q, 5 Z cz Fl 5 3 Q .5 we V 475143511 Qin Col STE QVQ Pnor. L. L. TUCKER Tin mcmoriam S ' A 2 ROFESSOR L. L. TUCKER, beloved president of the Kansas 'Wesleyan Business f. E lg College, died March 30th. 1917. Four years ago Professor Tucker, with his wife, 4 , Mary Weller Tucker. and Mr. L. S. Weller, began the work of the College, bring- ing to it the wealth of his experience and his indomitable optimism. The spirit ' E in which the work of the Kansas Wesleyan Business College has been carried for- ward, the hundreds of young people enrolled and graduated, and the plastic lives moulded into strong citizenship, are an everlasting tribute to his success. Born in Vermont of intellectual Puritan stock, Professor Tucker was early a leader. He graduated from the Newbury Seminary, Newbury, Vermont, and from the Troy Business College, Troy, New York. At the age of seventeen he was teaching school and in this pro- fession spent most of the years of his life, though at different periods he assumed the manage- ment of several large business corporations. He was for ten years director of the School of Commerce of Mount Union College, Alliance, Ohio, and principal for fourteen years of the largest business school in the East, at Newark, New Jersey. He was an expert accountant and was known for years as the most beautiful penman in New Jersey. In early manhood Professor Tucker joined the Methodist Episcopal Church, in which church he remained a consistent member until the time of his death. Teacher, Sabbath School superintendent and local preacher, he spent his life in advancing the Kingdom of God among men. At one time he was teacher trainer for the Sabbath School work of fourteen churches in Newark, New Jersey, and each week was in charge of the instruction of three to four hundred teachers, superintendents and pastors. For two years Professor Tucker had been in failing health and during many months of that time had been unable to be in the college work. Interment was in Gypsum Hill Ceme- tery, Salina. His wife, three daughters, a brother and sister, and unnumbered friends mourn his going. On behalf of the faculty of the Kansas Wesleyan Business College and the host of Pro- fessor Tucker's friends, we take this opportunity of paying a last tribute of respect and af- fection to the memory of one who had endeared himself to all by the richness of his life, by the cheerfulness and friendliness of his. disposition, by the earnestness of his Christian char- acter, by his desire to be of service, and by the strength and courtesy of his daily life among us. With those who loved him longest and best, we mourn his loss, and sorrow that we shall not see his pleasant smile or grasp his friendly hand again. He has gone, but he has left behind him a record of work well done, of life's great end accomplished, and the public and private record of faithfulness and devotion to duty that will be an inspiration and a help to all who knew him. Beloved president, faithful teacher, steadfast and conscientious friend, he awaits in the deathless and sorrowless land the coming of those who loved him and whom he loved in turn.

Sxwensrqsq 2 Tv 1 9 1. 9 1 8 :iz .Vi Q4 Q Eclegrapby An Essay on Pants Received by Telegraphy Pants are made for men, not for women. Women are made for men, not for pants. When a man pants for a woman and a Woman pants for a man they are a pair of pants. Such pants do not last! Pants are like mo- lasses-they are thicker in cold Weather and thinner in hot. Men are often mistaken in pants. Such mistakes are hreeches of promise. There has been much discussion whether pants are singular or plural. Seems to us that when men Wear pants it is plural and if they don't Wear any at all it is singular. Men go on a tear in their pants and it is all rightg when the pants go on a tear it is all wrong. If you Want to make the pants last, make the coat first. A fat man can't keep up his pants in the summer-time Without suspenders, but a dog can. This naturally suggests the query: Why does a dog Wear more clothes in summer than in Winter? It is evident that in Winter he wears a coat, while in summer he wears a coat and pants. f ..- ., ,.i, ,,,,. .... , , ..

The management of the school realizes, as do all competent advisors of today, that a young man or young woman entering into the business realm of life must have good health in order to succeed. And, so students enrolling at K.W.B.C. will always Hnd an opportunity to take part in their choice sports. It is hard, however, to build a strong athletic team from students of only a few weeks' acquaintance. Though the football men had practiced for just a few days they won their first game and were very successful during the whole season, winning six of the ten games played. It made no difference whether they won or lost, the clean sportsmanship style of everyone's playing won for him the entire support of his fellow students. We look forward to greater successes in the future.

However, no out-of-town contests were scheduled but it is thought that quite likely by another year much more PEP will be mani- fested. Much benefit was derivedfrom this particular sport during the past winter because of it's drawing the students closer together. In union there is force. .frm 3-,frm-' ,, sn.

A -160- glh Col STE sg Society Society is a polished horde In which there are two classes-the bores and bored. The above may be true of the social life in some Schools and Colleges-but not that of Kansas Wesleyan Business College. The College life of K.W.B.C. is expressed through the various social events of the school year. These enable us to become better acquainted with each other and give us the oppor- tunity to look back upon our college days not as one continuous round of hard labor over shorthand's crooked lines, stenotype keyboards and trial balances, but we can recall the happy hours spent in social intercourse. At the opening of the Fall Term of L.U.B.A. CLet us become acquaintedj social is always looked upon as a most enjoyable affair. The most mirth prevoking social affair of the year was our Annual County Representative Show. The Students in attendance from the various counties were grouped into sections. A few days before the show the groups got together for practice, no section knowing what the other was to furnish for the performance-thus making it a complete surprise all around. Mock weddings, mock faculty meetings, minstrels, and various stunts were put on which afforded an interesting and amusing program. Following the program, pies were sold to the highest bidder for cash in hand. The Field Day Sport will be given in May, at which prizes are given for the best relay races, jumping contests, girls' ball throwing contests, etc. The Christmas of 1916 will be a happy memory in the lives of those who were in attendance during the fall of 1916. An entertainment entitled Those Dreadful Twins was put on by a number of the students, in which great theatrical ability was displayed. These young people were willing to sacrifice their time for the enjoyment of others. A comedy farce, en- titled Business is Business was also put on at the same time, which was the hit of the evening. This article would be incomplete did we not mention the Spreads given by the Y. W. girls to which all new girl students who have not become members of the association are invited as special guests. The most profitable of these spreads was given in January. Various topics for toasts were given out to the girls before hand. Mrs. Tucker, the wife of our beloved President, Mr. Tucker, was toastmaster. The principal speaker of the evening was Mrs. Joyce Tucker James of Boston, who with her husband, is doing home missionary work in that city. Her talks to girls were very inspirational, filling them with a desire to live more useful lives, and to do all in their power for the uplift of humanity. Even busy Stenotype Students enjoy Society's pleasures. Stenotype chapter No. 73, which is the local branch of the National Assocaition of Stenotypists, is an organization which succeeds in getting all the fun there is going, and then goes after some more. During the past year this happy bunch has held a meeting each month for the purpose of knocking Old Father Glooml' in the head and giving the youngster, Cupid, a chance, and Cupid says, Boys, there are sure some fine chances there. These meetings have done a great deal toward keeping the class together in spirit, and has helped to put the Pep into their work. Every month in the year sees one of these interesting meetings. At the first meeting in September, the Stenos elected oiicers. Later in the same month they, feeling the need of some fresh air, took a stroll to Oakdale Park and roasted several innocent Weiniesf' The initiation meeting came next. Then the goat made frisky by the November chill blrought forth all the new members and taught them of horsemanship, or better, Goatman- s ip. A Christmas Exchange and Taffy pull was next in line. Cupid not to be outdone picked Valentine Day for his time, and when the class had gath- ered in the evening, used all the tricks of his trade including shaded lights, music, and a well satisfied appetite. After he had broken all hearts present, and by his magic changed them into place cards, partners were found by putting the right hearts together. The Strand Theatre was the scene of another gathering in March. Even the river was iorcled to give up it's share of fun when the whole class went boat riding and picnicked on its an s. The Stens. don't worry about the high cost of living as was shown by the vast quantities of eggs devoured in the April Egg Roast. May Day will see another big picnic that will end the year for this class of busy workers who believe that All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Cl: f' :came-1, ,, er, 5- -:Quai ,..

LMC W T U11 D A BAD MIXUP A story similiar to the following is told of the Advance Editor. However, we assure you from the start that we will not vouch for it as the truth. He seemed to be about three sheets in the wind, caused naturally by drinking a little hard cider. While in this condition he got a sale bill and a marriage mixed. The descrip- tion ran as follows: f'Claude Diehl, the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Diehl, was disposed of at public auction to Estel Lull, on my farm one mile east of here, in the presence of seventy guests including the following to-wit: 2 mules, 12 head of cattle. Rev. N. L. Bossing tied the nuptial knot averaging 1250 pounds on the hoof. The beautiful home of the bride was tastefully decorated with a sewash clam spade, one sulky rake, one feed grinder, one set of double harness nearly new, and just before the ceremony was pronounced Mendes- sohn's inspiring wedding march was softly given by one milch cow, 5 years old, one Jersey cow to be fresh next April carry- ing a bunch of Howers in her hand, and look- ing charming in a gown made of a light spring wagon, two boxes of apples, three racks of hay, one grind stone, mousiline de soie trimmed with about 100 bushels of spuds. The groom is well known and a popular young man and has always stood well among society circles of twelve Berkshire hogs, while the bride is an accomplished and talented school teacher of a splendid drove of Poland Chinas-pedigrees if de- sired. Among the beautiful presents were two sets of silver knives and forks, one spring harrow, one wheel barrow, go-cart and other articles too numerous to mention. The bridal couple left yesterday on an extended trip, terms twelve months time to responsi- ble parties, otherwise spot cash, lunch will be served at the stable. After this Mr. and Mrs. Diehl will go to housekeeping in a cozy home at the corner of Mail and Col, Hepperley, auctioneer.-Exo.

Right in front of him sat a baldheaded man reading a newspaper. He was pretty thin on top, but there was a good fringe of hair around the base of his head. The man was scratching these lower regions vigorously from time to time. It appeared as if he would never get done scratching. The trapper, much interested in the opera- tion, leaned forward and said in a confl- dential way: That's right, neighbor, that's right. Chase -em up inter th' clearin' an' then yer kin ketch 'em easier. CRUEL He- The painters who would make you believe that the angels are all women, cer- tainly did not know women. She- Perhaps not, I suppose however that they knew men. Man came first, he remarked, and woman after him, and she's been after him ever since. That shows, she retorted, that she knows a good thing when she sees one. Manager-'Tut out a dummy of the Coyote, it will help sell them. Hazel Jordan- No, let's don't. I do not wish to exhibit myself. Say, I don't want such a large picture. All right, just keep your mouth shut. The pretty girl was eagerly watching the drill at a training camp when a rifle volley crashed out. With a nice, decorous, sur- prised little scream she shrank back into the arms of the young man behind her. Oh, she cried, blushing, I was frighten- ed by the rifles, I beg your pardon. No needj' he replied quickly, Let's go over there, and watch the artillery. Here's a substance which breaks down when exposed to light. remarked the Chemist. That must be the stuff reputations are made of, observed the politician. - If il V'L fd? f- f r L , .5 -168- QV -rm CQJZ STE MQ 1 T TTi 9 l ' ' A Q I 155.'

After a somewhat painful pause the Professor commenced. Jessie, I cannot express it in words as my command of English is not great enough to make it beautiful and yet sincere enough for me to tell you of my love. However, I will come down to plain facts and ask you if you can by any means condescend to lower yourself in your own eyes, as well as the eyes of your friends to give me the promise of your hand in marriage at some future time? Jessie- Oh, how sudden. I must have time to think it over. Professor- No Jessie, my own true love, I must know tonight. I have decided that tomorrow night's paper must tell either my engagement to you or of my death. Jessie- Oh, wait just two more days and then I will give you my word for sure. I am so nervous that I can not think tonight. Please wait. Professor- Jessie, tomorrow morning will view my fate. You must either give me your assent or the rising sun shall view my body hanging a lifeless corpse from the top of that telephone pole there in the front yard. It must be now or never-life or death-it lays all with you Jessie for I cannot endure life without you. Jessie- Oh Professor, how often I have heard father say that he didn't want you hanging around here. . ,--. ..., ..-., .. .f. -, -. -.5 , K -11 A-15, f .-1 fiff ,115 -'ff' ':.?1:4.- frhiffi-r -si' :mls - f .rags fe- . - r I ' ' - '-f - A A 1 ' ,Y-.:.
