BRADDOCK President Secretary-Treasurer PaA« Thirty-two Senior Soliloquy SEE yon laddie, my boy. He’s a Senior. Just act as he does, and you’ll get along fine”, and friend Sophomore with an awe-struck gaze follows his idol. Why he should do this is more than anyone has been able to figure out. However, as Seniors, we feel that our position entitles us to a certain superior- ity of manner and bearing. We may not grow beards as wise men do, but our confidence in our ability to do so makes us so much the more dignified. We have been here for four years, and, by means of a slow tortuous struggle with that dragon called higher education, we have become changed in mind, body, and spirit. As a result, quality is present where quantity fears to tread. Armed with this intangible and practically undiscernable quality we seek new worlds to conquer. We have had the advantage of our fight with higher education and are looking forward with overconfident hopes to our encounter with the world of business. We do not doubt but that fame and fortune, those harbingers of happiness, are soon to be among our many possessions and accomplishments. We believe in hitching our wagons, or our new roadsters, to stars, and our aim cannot be too high for nothing can stop our ambitions. When we return to the “Hill” after a year’s absence, we will undoubtedly be better versed in the world of business. Certainly, no one is a better judge of conditions than the young college graduate who has industriously applied his brain for one year to the tasks of a factory worker, ditch digger, or office boy. Of course, one of our illustrious members will donate the necessary sum for the building of a new Commons, and this will be done within six months after our struggle with the cold, cruel world shall have begun.

We have passed beyond the infantile Freshman period and the childhood Sophomore stage. We are now enjoying to the utmost that period of education which might be called the young manhood phase. We belong to that nonchalant group of care- free college boys, and please don’t insult us by even comparing us with any of the other classes. That affected sobriety and sapience of the Senior is not ours as yet. We are no longer ignorant and unsophisticated as Freshmen; nor are we crude as the Sophomores. The Seniors may run the college, but we don’t want to be bothered with it. By all means, do not get the idea that this attitude is one of sour grapes. You’ll have to admit that we could make a much better job of administering to our sick college than the present Seniors who scratch their heads and assume an air of intellectual importance. Yet, the majority of their decisions are idiotic and semi-humorous to say the least. Since we’ll be Seniors soon, it might be better policy for us to confine our attentions to the Sophomores and Freshmen. We take this opportunity of referring you to Dr. Janes if you should care to hear of the ability of the Sophomores. Certainly, they know everything; in fact, they will even go so far as to admit it if the slight- est chance is offered to any of the members of the class of ’28. As for the Fresh- men, we are of the opinion that a discreet silence is our only avenue of escape. Since we can not touch even briefly on the faults of Freshmen in the allotted space; we beg leave to state that ponderous volumes could be written on this subject without the slightest repetition.

Pa Ac Fifty-one I The Class of 25.5 We’re the lads that cannot be grads This year, we hear: We sunk our snoots in foaming salutes Of beer, so dear; We scraped our mugs on Hennessey jugs. We won’t get out, we can’t get out, We don’t care a whoop if we never get out. We started out fine but fell out of line Astray, to stay; Poor indigent wights, who didn’t sleep nights But say, we pray; We got behind, we just now find In one more term will turn the worm. We must contrive to keep alive the class of twenty-five point five. Pa,te Fifty two Sophomores Pa Ac Fifty-three Class Officers Thomas Russell Bissell ......................................President James William Hine Vice-President Daniel Sullivan Johnson............................Secretary-Treasurer Pntc Fifty-four Sophomore Sobriety AS this chronicle of our deeds goes to print, we feel it incumbent upon us to breathe a deep sigh of relief. The herculean task of taming the most recent crop of yearlings is now approaching its end, and it is not without a prayer of thanks that we perceive last September’s atrocities marvelously trans- formed into fairly respectable Freshmen. When we think that this great change has largely been brought about by the dignified and venerable class of twenty- eight, we are prone to swell our manly chests with pardonable pride. Now that we have, let us hope, successfully established our “raison d’etre” in our present state of incubation, let us attempt to give a few reasons to sub- stantiate our belief that we shall make a worthy Junior Class. To be properly convincing we must hark back to that moment which first brought to us the pure white light of higher education, and, before which time, all was chaos and darkness. On that memorable day we climbed the “Hill”, said quite a number of prayers, and exclaimed in awe-struck tones, “So this is Kenyon”. The first crushing disaster which we experienced was ignominious defeat in that all important event known as the Cane Rush. Let us pass lightly over the remaining gruesome details of that humiliating year which we spent beneath the yellow turbans, as a subject unworthy to find a place in these venerable archives. Be it sufficient to relate, that, for one year, wc, the members of the class of twenty-eight, with all the lack of insight common to callow youths, un- tutored in the more sophisticated and enlightened walks of life, did most cordially despise and secretly revile our worthy associates, the class of twenty-seven, and did denounce them as a band of ogres and fiends whose sole purpose in life was the barbarous despotism and cruel tyranny of our own innocent personages. The great change in our thought and cultivation was noticeable from the first day that we donned our knickers and blazers, but our confidence in our ability to develop an orderly, well-behaved Freshman class suffered a crushing defeat when we first considered the material at hand. A greener, more utterly impossible aggregation we had never laid eyes upon. We are confident that, even in our crudest stage of development, we had never plumbed those depths so adequately sounded by the class of twenty-nine. In our assumption, we are backed by our former lords and masters who, whenever we call this point to their attention, smile and wink knowingly at each other, doubtless in silent approbation. In this lengthy discourse we may appear to have strayed from the original trend of our thoughts, but such is not the case. We feel that, for our development into a creditable Junior Class, it is essential that we must have undergone the same experiences as our predecessors, the Junior Classes of history. Wc earnestly believe that our first two years as Kenyon men have been spent in the logical and orthodox manner prescribed for us by the past generations. Next year we shall be able to tell of the success or failure of the class of twenty-eight, with the heart-felt desire that our report may be highly favorable----au revoir.

As it fades into the obscurity of time; its rougher edges melt away, and only the chaotic confusions of ideas and events remain to engross our thoughts in later years. The Freshman Class has not been without its troubles. It has been forced to labor under cover of scarlet creations all too conspicuous; it has not indulged in the purchase of the usual number of radiators and has not paid so many fees as it might, but its members can recall not a few disastrous ventures in the realm of high finance. We are learning to sing, however, and, although our combined efforts do not seem to be appreciated, we rather gather that the caustic comment is another little disciplinary measure. All of us have been naughty at times; yet, we are not ashamed. Wc have often been guilty of offenses so heinous that we should not dare to look a Sopho- more in the eye; but, in some peculiar way, our contact with the class of twenty - eight has tended to give us that moist appearance which has commonly been associated with the Baltimore oyster. However, wc have imitated the poise and the dignity of its members and are rapidly becoming embryo campus commanders. At one time we shuddered when we thought of our impending fate; but, now acquiescing to the designations of destiny as would a true Soph isticate, we look upon the coming years as the harbinger of glory to old Kenyon and success to ’29.

When Lambda Chapter was founded in 1852, the feeling against secret societies was strong in college faculties throughout the country, and at Kenyon, certain expulsion awaited all who should be discovered connected with them. For more than a year the Chapter existed without the knowledge of the Faculty. Meetings were held sometimes in the college belfry, sometimes in an unused log hut, and sometimes in the home of a friendly farmer. Only when the members of the class of ’54 were graduated, with their pins prominently displayed, were the authorities aware of the existence of a fraternity, and at that time they decided to recognize it on the condition that a faculty member should attend the meetings. The Chapter was ready for them and immediately selected as the Faculty representative Professor Lathrop, a Deke of the class of ’53. Lambda’s “Log Cabin Lodge”, built deep in the woods by the members of the Chapter after the ban of secrecy had been removed, was the first fraternity lodge in the United States. In 1871, owing to its decayed condition, the old cabin was abandoned and the present lodge built. A bronze tablet, erected at the Kenyon Centennial in 1924. marks the site of the log cabin in the woods. William John Bland, a Kenyon Deke of the class of ’10, was accorded the highest honor attainable at Oxford, and one never before given to an American The Presidency of the Oxford Union. The fraternity has the following chapters: Phi— Yale Phi Omega— Rensselaer Theta- Bowdoin Beta Chi—Reserve XI—Colby Delta Chi -Cornell Sigma- Amherst Delta Delta—Chicago Gamma—Vanderbilt Phi Gamma— Syracuse Psi—Alabama Gamma Beta Columbia Upsi Ion—Brown Theta Zeta—California Beta—North Carolina Alpha Chi— Trinity Kappa- Miami Phi Epsilon- Minnesota Lambda — Kenyon Sigma Tau- M.

Chipman, William D. Doty, Francis E. Mann, Albert B. Payne, Timothy H. Rear den, Robert C. Smith, James D. Hancock, and Matthew Trimble. Of the founders, Mr. Hancock, and Mr. Trimble are still living, Mr. Trimble holding the enviable record of having attended more Commencements than any other alumnus of the College. In 1859, the necessity of having a permanent meeting place was realized, and plans were soon made to build a lodge. This lodge was completed in the early part of 1860, and has been in continuous use by the Chapter up to the present. Since the destruction of the original Delta Kappa Epsilon lodge, it has been the oldest Greek letter fraternity lodge in the country.

The local founders were Robert McNeilly, Mathew M. Gilbert, Erasmus O. Simpson, Thomas W. Smith, Henry L. Curtis, William H. D. Grannis, D. Milton Zeller, Oliver Hazard Perry. Morton E. Brasee, Charles E. Boerstler, and William W. Farr. At the time of its installation the Iota was the most western of the then exist- ing chapters of Psi Upsilon. The original lodge erected in 1860 still stands at some distance behind Bexley Hall. Although the lodge now in use adjoins the house presented to the chapter in 1920 by the alumni. In its sixty-six years of existence on the Hill the Iota has never been inactive, although at one time during the Spanish-American War its membership was reduced to one man. The fraternity has the following chapters: Theta—Union College Beta—Yale Gamma—Amherst Lambda—Columbia Psi— Hamilton Alpha - Harvard Iota— Kenyon Omega—Chicago Chi Cornell Eta—Lehigh Mu—Minnesota Epsilon California Delta Delta—Williams Nu— Delta New York U.

Williams, Grover D. Curtis, William T. Wright, Cassius M. Roberts, Alfred C. Dyer, Warwick M. Cogwill, Alfred C. Downs, Matthew Edminston, and John B. Brannon. The first initiation was held at the house of Mr. Nelson, the Principal of Milnor Hall, Kenyon Military Academy. Satisfactory progress was apparently made until the late eighties when the Chapter passed through the darkest period of its existence, having at one time but a single active member. However, through the efforts of J. Edward Good, ’84, Alonzo M. Snyder, ’85, and Arthur H. Billman, formerly of the Wooster Chapter, a group of pledges was secured which soon established the Chapter again on a sound basis. The alumni rolls number approximately 290, in which but one of the original gi class of '80. The fraternity has th Alpha Miami Beta—Reserve Beta Kappa -Ohio U. Gumma—W. and J.

J. Franks, W. A. Child, C. S. Crawford, A. L. Heerlingcr, A. A. Taltavall, H. H. Critchficld, as charter members. At first prosperous, the chapter passed through many vicissitudes, once dwindling to one man. Eventually prospects brightened, and the fortunes of Chi Chapter gradually improved. For forty-three years Chi was located in Old Kenyon, most of the time in East Division. After the completion of the new dormitory, the chapter settled in its new quarters in the Middle Division of Leonard Hall.

After j Middle Hanna had been thrown open to college men in 1914, the students of that division, feeling themselves drawn together by the bonds of pro- pinquity and friendship, formed the local fraternity, Phi Gamma Phi. In a short time relations were established with Sigma Pi through the medium of Gamma Chapter of Ohio State, several of whose members had become interested in the new Kenyon local. In less than a year Phi Gamma Phi became Lambda of Sigma Pi. From that time to the present the growth of the chapter has been normal. With the completion of Leonard Hall, it moved into South Hanna, a larger division. The relation of this, the youngest of the national fraternities on the Hill, to the older groups has been a cordial one, and the chapter can well be satisfied with the progress of its first decade.

Zeta Alpha dated from 1923, when it was organized for the express purpose of petitioning for the revival of the old Theta Charge of Theta Delta Chi. Previously a local under the same name had existed at Kenyon during the years 1903-1910. It had an aim similar to that of the recent organiza- tion but became discouraged and finally disbanded. Since then no effort was made for the revival of the Theta Charge until three years ago. It is no more than natural that Theta Delta Chi should be more or less un- known in Ohio, as there is no active chapter in the state. The Kenyon Charge was first established in August, 1854, being the second national group on the “Hill” and the eighth of the fraternity. Excepting for a period of nine years at the time of the Civil War, it continued to thrive until 1896. At that time the enrollment of the college was so sadly depleted that there were six fratemitiesand only one hundred men. To the members of the fraternity affairs did not appear very promising. They therefore thought it best voluntarily to surrender the charter until such a time as the general condition of the college would warrant its return. It was believed that the time was ripe for the re-installation of the Theta Charge in 1923 and Zeta Alpha was organized with the hope of accomplish- ing this. The general consensus of opinion throughout the students of the college is in sympathy with this movement, and it is hoped that another such organization will be founded in the near future.

Stanton Patfr Ei hty-ninr Po e Ninety The 1925 Squad Football I HE year 1925 marked a great epoch in the history of athletics at Kenyon. • Her basketball team was barely nosed out for the conference championship, and the same can be said of her football team. With a nucleus of seven letter men, Head Coach Wiper started early in September to mould together a team that was to carve a deep niche for itself in Ohio football circles. The choice of Worley for the captaincy was a popular one, and the squad worked spiritedly with him throughout a season that can well be called the most success- ful since that memorable year of 1908 when the conference championship was brought to Gambier. If the record of four games won, four lost, and one tied, which was established in 1924, was acclaimed very good then ; certainly this year’s record of six games won and two lost is excellent. Head Coach Wiper was ably assisted by Coaches Kutler and Love. Coach Kutler came from Ohio State and turned out one Pa A Ninety-two Football CAPTAIN WORLEY of the best lines that has represented Kenyon in years. It was big. well trained, and consistent. The line-men were well versed in all the tricks of their trade and could form interference or break it up whenever the occasion demanded. Their work during the games is a worthy tribute to Coach Kutler’s ability. Throughout the season, the linemen played hard football but kept it clean and no small share of the team’s success is due to the men who fought on the line. The backfield was admitted to be one of the best produced in the conference. Every back was a star at his position. All were fast. Pafif Nmrty-thrrr Football HEAD COACH WIPER all could tackle, pass, and carry the ball. In the versatile Peters, Kenyon had one of the best half backs ever developed in the conference. Taken as a whole, it was a great team, and it is certainly a shame that an eleven of such calibre should go to pieces before such a team as Mt. Union. This, however, might be regarded as the player’s attitude against Thanksgiving games played during vacation. Peters, Mulvey, Harris. Van Epps, Rowe, and Hovorka were placed at their respective positions on several All-Ohio Conference football selections. Sharing in the team’s success was Manager Rice who handled the intricacies of the managerial end very capably. As will hz remembered, the season was a muddy one Pa Ho Ninety-four Football and one full of breaks. The Purple team was forced to use mud cleated shoes in every one of the eight games. At the start of the season, Ashland, Baldwin- Wallace, and Muskingum were easily disposed of by good scores. The Home- coming game with Reserve, although played on another rainy Saturday, brought back a large body of alumni who watched the Purple turn back her arch rivals by a score of 13 0. St. Xavier was next met. Both teams had clean slates, and both teams were playing to win. It was a muddy day, and St. Xavier slid across the necessary touchdown to give them a 6 0 victory. Games with Hiram and Akron resulted in easy victories for Kenyon, and a defeat at the hands of Mt. Union on Thanksgiving marked the close of a most successful season. Opening the season on October 3rd with Ashland, the Purple set their pace for the month of October by defeating the non-conference team 17 0. Kenyon displayed a line that was practically impregnable, thanks to Assistant Coach Rudolph Kutler, who had been handling the linemen for but three short weeks. It is a task to pick an outstanding player in this game; however, the work of Harris, who had been shifted from full back to tackle after a two years absence from the game, was remarkable. It was in this game that Kenyon revealed her brilliant aerial attack that was to carry her successfully through so many games. The first touchdown came in the initial period after a pass to Rowe which followed a long gain by Mulvcy who was on the receiving end of a twenty yard heave by Peters. Early in the second quarter, Peters’ trusty toe added three more points; and, a few minutes later, this vesatile back shot a pass to Van Epps and followed it by one to Corey who crossed the final chalk mark with the last score of the game. The following Saturday the team journeyed to Berea where it met and defeated Baldwin- Wallace 19 7. After the first few plays, Kenyon assumed the offensive and held it throughout the game. As in the Ashland game, all the PaA� Ninety-five Football scoring was done in the first half. Although severely penalized throughout the game, the Kenyon backs found time enough to skirt the ends and smash through the Bercan line for fourteen first downs and three touchdowns in the first half. Towards the end of the second quarter, Newhouse intercepted a pass and raced sixty-five yards through the entire Baldwin-Wallace team for a touchdown. In the second half, the Purple resorted to an aerial attack; and, considering the slippery condition of the ball, a surprising number of passes were completed, but the gains hardly made up for the heavy penalties imposed on the team. Baldwin- Wallace made their only score when Baesel intercepted a pass and ran twenty- five yards for a touchdown. Muskingum came to Gambier on October 17, a reputedly strong eleven. The Magenta and Black players prepared to give Kenyon a dose of her own medicine and, consequently, opened up a forward pass attack. The cutcome of this bit of strategy is dubious, however, as Rowe dealt them a blow from which they never recovered by intercepting about the third of these passes and running twenty yards for the first touchdown. From then on it was merely a question of time as Kenyon made repeated marches up and down the field and scored three more touchdowns; Rowe, Norris, and Peters each carrying the ball over the goal line. The final score was; Kenyon 29, Muskingum 0. With these three games behind it, Kenyon’s team next turned its attentions to the homecoming game with its old and friendly rivals. Western Reserve. The army of alumni that swooped down on the ‘'Hill” for this game returned to their homes fully satisfied that the best team had won. The Purple team was at its best and fully avenged the 10 0 defeat administered at Cleveland the previous year by turning back the Red and White by a score of 13 0. It was a game resplendent with thrills, and it was again the brilliant aerial attack that complete- ly wrecked the hopes of Kenyon’s opponents. During the first quarter, the teams battled on even terms, the treacherousness of the field making it impossible to decide the outcome of the game. It was not until the end of the second quarter that the Kenyon pass Pafie Ninety-six Football attack got under way, and two perfectly executed passes from Peters to Rowe netted the first touchdown for Kenyon. Peters missed the try for goal. Near the end of the third period, the Purple again resorted to the air, and this time it was Mulvey who was on the receiving end of one of Peters' perfectly placed passes. He was stopped on the one yard line, however, and it was Rowe again who scored when he bucked the ball over the goal line. Peters’ try for goal was more successful this time, and the Kenyon score mounted to 13 where it stood for the remainder of the game. The Clevelanders threatened the home team’s goal line only once. This was in the first quarter when they brought the ball to Kenyon’s five yard line with four downs in which to put it over. The Kenyon forward wall proved equal to the occasion, how- ever, and Reserve was sent away scoreless. The result of this game left Kenyon and St. Xavier tied for the Conference leadership. The following Saturday found these two teams facing each other in Cincinnati. The rain which fell heavily that morning may have kept down the crowd, but it did not dampen the enthusiasm of the loyal Kenyon alumni and friends in that city, over five hundred of whom turned out to see two evenly matched teams battle in a sea of mud with the championship of the Ohio Confer- ence at stake. Kenyon spirit was probably never more in evidence away from home than it was on this day; it was not until the final gun was fired that the cheering and singing of the Purple backers subsided, and they left disappointed over the outcome of the game but confident that they had a real football team. Both teams were keyed up to a high pitch, and both, apparently matched to a man, fought through two periods without either gaining an advantage. The break came when a Kenyon back dropped the slippery pigskin, and it was fallen on by the St. Xavier quarterback, Weiner. The teams lined up, one determined to score, the other firm in the conviction that it would not. It was at this time that the Green team made use of one of those rarely successful plays, a perfectly executed criss-cross, which found Ferguson crossing the Kenyon goal line for the Ninety-seven Football lone touchdown of the game. It was but the second time during the year that the Kenyon goal had been crossed. The fourth quarter found Kenyon trying desperately to score but all to no avail. The game was lost to St. Xavier and with it the Conference Championship. It is true that Kenyon was defeated on Thanksgiving by Mt. Union, but it is practically safe to say that, had the Purple won the St. Xavier contest, it would have gone through the season without defeat. On November 7, Hiram College came to Gambier determined to repeat St. Xavier’s feat. The game was played in a driving rain, and it was with the greatest difficulty that cither team made any headway. Early in the second quarter fumbles started fumbles which, almost without exception, were recovered by a Purple clad player. Obviously, Kenyon had been well coached for a wet field, for no attempts were made by the Kenyon safety man to catch punts, while her own kicks were purposly short and low, designed to cause fumbles on the part of the visitors. Following a Hiram fumble, the home team took the ball down to within striking distance of the Hiram goal but was penalized fifteen yards, and, for one of the few times during the game, the ball was in Kenyon’s territory. Within a few plays, however, Peters carried the ball over for Kenyon’s first touchdown. The half ended 6 0 in favor of the Purple, Kenyon still maintained the offence at the opening of the second half, but it was not until the third quarter that Van Epps scooped up a Hiram fumble and crossed the goal line for the second time, the game ending 13 0 in Kenyon’s favor. After an idle week because of an open date on November 14, the team went to Akron where it met and defeated its vanquishers of the previous year, Akron University, by an overwhelming score of 30 0. The field was comparatively fast, and the game was witnessed by a large and enthusiastic crowd of students and alumni. The Purple team assumed a whirlwind offense soon after the opening whistle and did not change its tactics until it had piled up a lead of seventeen points before the end of the first half. Peters started the scoring early in the first quarter with a well placed Pafie Ninety-eifiht Football drop kick. Then the visitors began their relentless marches up and down the field. Rowe bucked the ball over from the ten yard line for Kenyon’s first touchdown; and, from then on, the outcome of the game was never in doubt. Peters crossed the goal line early in the second quarter after a sweeping end run frem the twenty-five yard line. Late in the third quarter, Norris recovered an Akron fumble almost on the goal line and battled his way across for Kenyon’s third score. Hovorka ended this avalanche of scoring in the final quarter when he picked up another Akron fumble in midfield and raced fifty yards for a touchdown. Kenyon ended her glorious season in a rather inglorious defeat suffered at the hands of Mt. Union on Thanksgiving day. Throughout three gruelling periods, the teams battled on even terms; both aggregations lacked the final drive whenever it became at all possible to score. Both lines were battling furious- ly, and both backficlds striving vainly to penetrate the opposing defense. It was not until the final quarter that the Purple team seemed to go to pieces. Bit by bit her defense crumbled, and the Mounts had little difficulty in amassing four touchdowns and a field goal to humble the Purple after so noble a showing. It seems almost impossible to imagine, and those who did not witness the game cannot understand how the Mounts were so successful in such a short time. The players seemed to be present in body only; the spirit that had carried them so victoriously throughout the season was sadly lacking. Taken as a whole, however, the 1925 season was highly successful, and, with the return of ten letter men for the 1926 team, a better season, if such a thing can be said, is predicted. Letters were awarded to the following men: Captain Worley, Corey, Van Epps, Dempsey, McClain, Harris, Stuart, Uhler, Peters, Norris, Mulvey, Hovorka, Rowe, Muir, Puffenberger, Ncwhousc. and Manager Rice. Pa e Nintty-ninv Basketball THE basketball season of 1925-26 was an odd mixture of fond hopes, shattered illusions, disappointing defeats, soul-satisfying victories, and weird over- turning of dope. Nevertheless, the team’s record is one of which every Kenyon man should be proud. After the phenomenal success of last year’s basketball team, Coach Wendell Love tried hard to make this year’s aggregation of the same championship calibre. The loss of Lewis and Evans, two of the leading guards in Ohio basketball circles, left a gap hard to fill, even with the wealth of material from a better than average Freshman squad. Coach Love deserves much credit for his undying efforts during the past season. The season’s campaign began at Rosse Hall with the over-whelming defeat of the fast Ashland quintet. The team showed up well but was rather rough in spots. Nevertheless, it succeeded in launching an offensive at- tack that netted 45 points by the end of the game. Captain Van Epps and Corey starred for the Purple, each scoring five field goals. Pa lie One hundred Basketball CAPTAIN VAN EPPS Returning from a successful barnstorming tour, the Kenyon team received a heartbreaking disappointment at the hands of the strong Akron aggregation. The game was very close throughout, and the final score was in doubt until the whistle blew. The Akron team, however, managed to nose our boys out by the close score of 38 to 36. In the following two games, the dreaded jinx seemed to follow the Kenyon quintet, and it lost to Heidelberg and Ohio Northern respectively by narrow margins. The team work of the Purple in these two games appeared rather ragged at times. Pa e One hundred-one Basketball After losing three consecutive conference games, the team threw aside its jinx for the time being and found its stride in a hotly contested fight with the strong Cincinnati quintet on the Gambier floor. The first half of the game saw both teams scoring heavily and ended with Kenyon six points ahead. Close guarding and stiff fighting characterized the second period of play. Near the end of this half, the score became tied at the 38 mark. A spectacular shot by Dempsey from the middle of the floor gave the victory to the home team. Stansficld, playing his last game for Kenyon, gave an excellent finish to his basketball career. Captain Van Epps was high point man with nine baskets to his credit. On the afternoon of February 6, Kenyon met with an off day and went down to defeat at the hands of the diminutive Marietta five. Van Epps, scoring six field goals, was the mainstay of the Purple. A week later, the Kenyon basketeers journeyed to Cincinnati for a return game. In a mood of vengeance, the Cincinnati team opened the first half with a whirlwind offense that swept the Kenyon quintet off its feet. Kenyon recovered in the final half and outpointed its opponents, but Cincinnati had piled up too large a margin in the first half. The next night, Kenyon met Dayton University. The Purple was trailing 15 to 7 at the half-way mark and staged a brilliant comeback in the second period, only to lose 22 to 17. The jinx was unconquerable. Even at Ashland on February 15, the Kenyon five stubbornly took a 35 to 29 drubbing from a team they had so badly beaten earlier in the season. No longer in a position to come in for a share of the conference honors, Kenyon hoped for revenge by defeating Mt. Union, who had galloped through its schedules for the past two years without a single defeat. The game was played on February 19, at Rossc Hall, before a capacity crowd of Kenyon and Mt. Union rooters. Although the Purple team lost by the unhappy margin of two points, it put up a valiant struggle and played an excellent game of basketball. Kenyon was the first to score and held a lead for most of the first half. However, about three minutes before the end of the half, Mt. Union flashed a brilliant offense and established a four point lead. The second half was but a repetition of the first, both teams playing at breakneck speed. With the score standing 36 to 32 in favor of the Mounts, and but a minute of playing time left, Dempsey sank a field goal from the center of the floor. Ken- yon’s hope for victory or an overtime period was but too soon dispelled when the final whistle blew ending the game. After Pa o One hundred-two Basketball the Mt. Union game, Kenyon was defeated by Muskingum. The “Muskies led by Taylor were one of the most powerful scoring combinations in the state and were a bit too much for the Kenyon team to check. On the following night, the Purple team clashed with Otterbein and re- turned winner by a one point margin. It was an exact replica of the Kenyon-Cincinnati game, being a nip and tuck affair from start to finish. The first half ended in a 20 to 20 deadlock. Every member of the Kenyon team took part in the scoring and covered himself with glory. During the last few minutes of the game, Kenyon was leading Otterbein by one point. By a wonderful exhibition of pass work under the Otterbein goal, the Kenyon players managed to retain their one point lead until the end of the game. Corey carried off the scoring honors for Kenyon by sinking the ball five times. On February 27, Kenyon continued its winning streak by defeating Akron in a return game played at Akron, In this game. Dempsey and Muir covered themselves with glory by scoring five baskets each. During the following week, the Kenyon five met two defeats at the hands of Muskingum and Otterbein, respectively. Once more Muskingum proved too strong opposition for the Kenyon lads and handed them a 53 to 36 drubbing. Otterbein turned the tables on the Love-men by finishing on the top of a 44 to 34 score. Dempsey was the bright light of the Purple team by scoring five baskets in the second half. With a nucleus of four letter men, next year’s team should be built into a quintet better than the average. The eligibility of several promising Freshman players only serves to heighten expectations for the coming year. We are looking forward to that time with the high hopes of leading the Conference. Pair- One hundred three Intramural Basketball PILLOWING the wake of the previous years, the Intramural Basketball tourney was a hotly contested affair this season. The result was in doubt until the final whistle of the last game blew, and the Delta Taus were de- clared winners. A very superior brand of basketball was displayed by the majority of the teams, and the interest of the student body was continually aroused to a high pitch. The different divisions were divided into two leagues as was done last year. In the Kenyon League, the Delta Tau Deltas were un- disputed winners, but in the Gambier Association there was a triple tie. At the play-off, the Betas earned the right to enter the finals. The championship game was extremely close, and one over-time period was necessary before the Middle Leonard team could emerge victorious. The standing in the two leagues was as follows: Kenyon League Delta Tau Delta North Hanna Middle Kenyon Psi Upsilon Gambier League Beta Theta Pi Delta Kappa Epsilon Alpha Delta Phi Sigma Pi Pa£e One hundred iour Intra-Mural Track EACH spring finds many men in college who, while unable to make the team, are anxious to let us know that they can perform on the track. As a con- sequence, an inter-division meet is staged every year upon Benson Field. Any student is eligible who has not gained a track letter. In 1925, the competition was less general than usual. Two divisions had no entries at all, and three of the others garnered but a few negligible points. The result, however, was constantly in doubt because of the keen rivalry between Middle Kenyon and Middle Leonard. The latter finally came out on top with 57 points while Middle Kenyon piled up a score of 41. The meet attracted quite a bit of attention, and a large percentage of the students witnessed it. It is to be hoped that in future years this event will assume even more importance, for it reaches a lot of men who otherwise would have no interest in athletics. P-iflr On hundred five i Baseball THE year 1925 was a notable one at Kenyon for its lack of men of real ability in baseball. Although the team worked hard and tried its best; yet the results showed that there was no Babe Ruth or Ty Cobb in the making on the campus. The season opened at Otterbein, where Kenyon showed promise of a real team. It was a close contest from start to finish. Peters worked extremely well on the mound, striking out twelve men. The final score was 7 to 6 in our favor. At Ashland the team fared less well. There were numerous errors on the part of the losers, and both teams played inferior ball. Ashland won 8 to 3. Muskingum came to Gambier on May 9. The Kenyon nine was unable to overcome the one run lead of the visitors. A rally was started in the ninth inning when two men were on bases, but we could not come through with the winning tally. The team was led by Captain Bud Evans, who played a stellar game at third. His style w'as very graceful, and it was Po v One hundred six Baseball a pleasure to watch him perform. Max Dowell proved to be a very capable manager. The line-up of the 1925 baseball team is as follows: Mulvey and Harris, catchers; Peters and Pfleger, pitchers; Lewis, first base; Gale Evans, second base; Pfleger, shortstop; Captain Bud Evans, third base; Stewart, right field; Gregg, center field; and Van Epps, left field. Besides proving to be one of the best third-sackcrs of recent years. Bud Evans was a great leader and Captain for the team. “Pat” Mulvey was especially suited for catcher because of his rapid fire Irish wit. If games could have been won through talking, Mulvey would have kept our record clean. The “hot” base was successfully defended by Lewis, who managed to connect with a hit now and then. Gale Evans was the most consistent hitter of the team and caught all of the pegs that Mulvey managed to get to him. Not satisfied with being an excellent shortstop, “Bob” Pfleger aspired to pitching honors and was a needy relief for Peters. Peters deserved a better record then he made. He had a good fast curve, and perhaps better support would have aided. Harris was a good substitute catcher, but one handicapped by his poor eyes. No one ever swung harder than did Stewart, sometimes successfully too. Gregg was a capable center fielder and the “ King of Swat ” of the team. Van Epps gracefully cavorted in right field. It is said that he led the Conference in batting. PttUr One hundred «oven Tennis CAPTAINED by David Wright, the Kenyon tennis team for 1925 completed an unusually good schedule in spite of the poor weather conditions which necessitated the postponement of four matches. The team was composed of Captain Wright, Thorne, and Pflcgcr. All three men were on the squad of the previous year, and each played games of considerable credit, particularly Captain Wright whose consistency was responsible for more than one victory. The season opened at Otterbein, where Wright and Pfleger were successful in winning all three matches. Less fortunate at Wooster, Kenyon met defeat after six gruelling sets. Wright and Hunsicker played the singles, and Van Epps took Pfleger’s place in the doubles. One of the closest contests of the season was the one with Muskingum at Gambicr. Wright won his singles match, but Thorne lost to his opponent. By winning the doubles match, Muskingum won the meet. Gambier again defeated Otterbein in a return match at Gambier. Although Wright and Thorne lost the doubles, they each won their matches in the singles. These games were played on Kenyon’s new courts before a large gallery. PnA� On� hundred eifht Track A LTHOUGH the 1925 track record does not appear so enviable on paper, it marks a distinct advance in the sport. According to every natural reason, this should be Kenyon’s main sport in the spring, and each year more and more emphasis is being laid upon it. Captain Rybak again led the Purple squad, and Wade was once more the manager. The season opened at Columbus, Saturday, April 18, at the famous Ohio Relays. Four members of the Kenyon squad made the trip and two of them placed—Captain Rybak was fourth in the 120 yard high hurdles, and Corey gained fourth place in the shot put. Considering the number and the calibre of the competitors, this was a very creditable showing. The team journeyed to Granville on April 24th. They encountered a much superior foe One hundred nine Track and were overwhelmed. The Dennison cinder men were too much for our team, winning every event but the high jump, in which Captain Rybak carried off first honors. In the pole vault, Lyman and Sheldon tied with the Dennison man. Rybak also finished second in the 120 yard high hurdles and the 220 yard low hurdles. Furniss garnered three points in the javelin throw. Out next meet was with Otterbein at Westerville on May 2nd. The score was much closer but again we were defeated. Captain Rybak was again the high point man, getting three firsts and a second. He won in the high jump, the 120 yard high hurdles, and the 220 yard low hurdles. Kenyon made a clean sweep of the discus throw with Rowe and Corey. Corey was also second in the shot put. Both Eberth and Lyman secured two second berths, and Furniss easily won the javelin throw. The most heart-breaking event of the season was staged at Muskingum on May 23rd. The two teams were nip and tuck until the very last, in fact, the final event, the relay, decided the meet and caused us to come out on the low end of the score. In this last meet of his college career, Captain Rybak showed his real ability. He was the high point man of both teams, having the astounding total of twenty points. Lyman, too, with his ten points had more than any one of the Muskingum men. Rybak won the high jump, the 120 yard high hurdles, the 220 yard high hurdles, the 220 yard low hurdles and was second in the shot put and broad jump. Lyman was first in the pole vault, second in the high jump, and third in the 880 yard and two mile runs. Corey led in the shot put, second in the 100 yard dash, and third in the 220 yard dash. Eberth led in the 100 yard dash and was second in the quarter mile. Rowe won the broad jump and finished second in the discus throw. Furniss just missed first place in the javelin throw. This year our prospects on the cindery circle arc exceedingly bright. The squad has been strengthened by the addition of several Soph- omores and the eligibility of Naysmith. Furniss has been elected to lead the team, and Zweigle is acting in the capacity of manager. Pnfio One hundred ten PaAe One hundred eleven D. C. WRIGHT P. A. MULVEY C. W. HUGHES The Kenyon Assembly THE Kenyon College Assembly is the student legislative body. During the many years that Kenyon has had student government, her record has in- deed been excellent. Under this form the Faculty has been able to turn over to the undergraduates the enforcement of discipline in the dormitories, the maintenance of the honor system, and many other important matters. Every man in college, by the constitution, is a member of the assembly and is entitled to vote on all questions brought up at its meetings. Only the upper- classmen, however, have the privilege of speaking on the floor, and this greatly facilitates the proceedings. In 1925 a new constitution was adopted. Under this constitution, the duties of the Commons, Dormitory, and Honor Committees have been entrusted to the Senior Council. It is believed that, by having one body attend to all these matters, there will be better co-operation and better results. In the one year that it has been in effect it has proved its value, and we therefore think that Student Government at Kenyon is on a firmer basis than ever. Pa e One hundred twelve The Senior Council T HE Senior Council confers with the President of the Assembly in regard to “■ matters of general policy. It also supervises all Assembly elections and Freshmen-Sophomore activities. This body has been given many more powers by the new constitution of the Assembly, and it is considered one of the highest honors to be a member of it. MEMBERS George B. Shaffer David C. Wright C.

Hundley Pa6c One hundred sixteen Debate Club NINETEEN HUNDRED TWENTY-SIX has seen the organization of the first Kenyon Debate Club for many years. At the instigation of several entering men, who deserve the real pioneer credit, Dr. Reeves gave the initial impetus to the movement by calling a meeting early in December of all men interested in debate. That assemblage saw a rather more gratifying at- tendance than subsequent meetings with their accompaning debate work managed to keep together, but as only the men actively interested were valuable to the organization, the loss of some of the early members was not keenly felt. The Club was roughly divided into negative and affirmative speakers, and Mr. Herbert Langendorff was elected to preside over both bodies when assembled The development of an informal type of speaking used by the Oxford and Cambridge debate teams was set as a criterion for the Debate Club by the English Department, but without the assistance of a faculty coach—another experiment by the Department of English—very little progress was made toward this end. Gradually the Club narrowed down to eight members, the size of a regular debate team, and the words “team” and “club” came to be synonymous. Several debates were scheduled in the Ohio Conference on the Child Labor Amendment. One of the biggest incentives to the Club was lost when the University of Sydney, Australia, had to cancel their Kenyon engagement because of the elimination of a whole section of their north central itinerary. together.

From a financial point of view, the trip was far from being a successful one, yet, taking into consideration the many shortcomings and difficulties of the entire plan, the good will and old spirit of the Kenyon Puff and Powder Club has again been demonstrated, and what more is to be desired. Everyone belonging to the cast enjoyed himself thoroughly at all points on the show’s itinerary, and the experiences and recollec- tions gained during the ten day’s tour were sufficient reward for the work ac- complished and the time spent in training. The cast was well chosen, and every person skillfully portrayed his represented character. The plot centered around Naughty Nita and the famous Pettingill pearls which were prized not only for their value but also as an heirloom. Mrs. Petting- ill, whose Hector had recently departed this life, was at the point of a nervous breakdown resulting from the actions of her naughty offspring when the latter calmly informed her mother that she intended to give up the remainder of her life to the study of a new Hindoo Cult called Mosmatism. Given permission to do exactly as she pleased on her birthday, Nita first flatly refused the proposal of Jack Traynor and next invited the Hindoo Rhamud, a recent Sing Sing oc- cupant, to hold the ceremony of her initiation into the sacred cult in the garden of the Pettingill estate. Since it was necessary in accordance with the require- ments of the religion to demand a supreme sacrifice from each neophyte; the pearls were asked for. As soon as the valuable gift came into the hands of the supposed priest, he dashed to the street taking the pearls with him. His haste was in vain, for, through the actions of Professor Cutting, the would-be thieves were caught and the famous pearls restored.

It is absurd to blame them for battle, murder, and sudden death; bliggets, sand- storms, and housemaid’s knee. They assume no responsibility for leaking suit- cases and band boxes, or children.

Service) I wanted the key and I got it, I studied and crammed like a slave. Was it liquor or women? I fought it. I busied myself in my cave. Away with beer parties and dancing Away with the sessions of “bull”. My studies I never left, chancing A one and a half on my “pull”. I came from the farm to the college As green as the pea on my knife. My cry was, “ Knowledge, more knowledge. To hell with the college boy’s life”. And so I have struggled and prospered, Like Bryan, I stuck to my trade. And the end of it all sees me fostered By the brightest Fraternity made. It’s true that my friendships aren’t many, It’s true that I haven’t a “K”, But I’m a disciple of Pliny And work on my Math for my play. Although I’m in no sense good looking And haven’t the time for the girls, I don’t bother with all this “date” booking, But pay money, too much, for my whirls. I’ve left the smell of the sheep fold, Forgot is the seat on the mower, On my chain is the bangle of real gold. The symbol of learning and lore. And now, to the hungry world waiting, I announce that I stand for its call. Now watch the mad scramble and baiting For the wealth of my knowledge, that’s all.

Pnffc One hundred fifty-five Co-Education at Kenyon of the most pleasant features of Kenyon is the splendid women’s college that is connected with the institution. There are at least sixty-two girls now pursuing the search for education, and it is some homogeneous group, if we do say so ourselves. One of our girls measures six feet three and a half ready for the pool and another weighs all of two hundred and forty-three in her stocking feet. With this diversity in physical characteristics, there is an equal difference in the ideas and the ideals of our girls. Some are nice and sensible, some are just nice, and, well, the others are always the life of the party. A literary club has just been instituted by two girls who happened to read some passages in Boccaccio’s “Decameron”. Since then the club has flourished, and a complete library including “Fanny Hill”, Rabelais, and Frank Harris, with certain sketches by Mark Twain and James Whitcomb Riley has been bought with the hard Pa lie One hundred fifty-six earned pennies of our girls. An April issue of the American Mercury inspired the girls to subscribe to the magazine for three years. The evening includes readings, and then a lively and animated discussion takes place with an exchange of ideas and opinions. The dormitory is complete in every detail that would add to comfort. The rejuvenation, that is, reconstruction, of an old stable and the addition of a broad colonial veranda has made excellent living quarters. A dining room is com- pletely furnished with a table, chairs, and a handsome Congoleum rug. The matron deemed it essential to purchase a Frigidaire for the kitchen, as the ice man had become too familiar, and his visits did not always conform to Union hours. “He was such an ice man” one of our girls laughingly remarked. Our athletics and sports are quite comparable to any women's college in the country. The Crochet Team, which must not be confused with our Croquet Team, has maintained the supremacy in Gambier for two years. Visitors arc always welcome, and we feel sure that all mothers will be perfect- ly safe in entrusting their daughters to our care. One hundred fdty-teven Announcing—The Winner THIS year has seen an incredible amount of originality and literary ability brought out in the Freshman class. Consequently, it has been a very difficult problem to settle on the prize theme of the Class of '29. The young intellectuals have shown remarkable interest in this contest, and the competition has been exceedingly keen. However, after twenty-two hours and 14 minutes the judges finally managed to arrive at a definite conclusion. Richard Doolittle cast the deciding vote, and a scandal was immediately started by his enemies who claimed that he had designs on part of the eight hundred dollars. An investigation cleared the whole matter in short order and the judgement handed down was to the effect that the said Richard Doolittle was wholly incapable of grasping in his mind or otherwise, such a colossal amount as $800. The committee further stated that; since his financial affairs were limited to pennies, nickels, dimes, and perhaps quarters; all such slander should cease. So much “In Defense of Dickie”. As a result of this decision, the Pulsinger trophy was placed in the hands of Michael Rene Blatz, and the floral horse-shoe was placed around his neck. The prize-winning composition is printed below. HOW TO INVEST $800.00. If I had $800.00, I would buy a McQuiffle Triple Compound Tractor, Little Wonder Model. It is a very good tractor. Furthermore, it costs $800.00. It is a very good tractor for $800.00. As I daily drive my Shetland pony through Tripe’s Corners to my father’s estate, I see this beautiful tractor in the display windows of Harvey Butter- bottoms, Inc., Landscape Gardeners. It is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Some day when I grow up I am going to buy it. I would rather have it than my Shetland pony. This feeling is natural, since I have a mechanical turn of mind. Ever since I was a baby I have been constructing things Pa Ac One hundred fifty-ciAh from sand castles at Newport to Meccano bridges in my cozy little room at our winter home in the Cataline Islands. But my ambition has always been to own a McQuiffle Triple Compound Tractor. A tractor has many attractions. The greatest of all of these is the apt way in which they can pull stumps. My father says that stumps can be pulled very easily with a McQuiffle Triple Compound Tractor. He ought to know, as he is a dentist. What is more, my uncle is a wholesale grocer. Last Christmas I was given a Rolls-Royce, but ruined it by running into a ditch. I wish they had given me a tractor. Then I could go into any old ditch I wanted to. My brother says that the Little Wonder Model is a regular “Humdinger” for pulling out of ditches. Who wouldn’t rather travel on a rakish McQuiffle Triple Compound Tractor than in a stuffy old Rolls-Royce? Then, no matter where you went, you could stop, head right into a ditch, and pull as many stumps as you wanted. I won my pony in a Liberty Magazine Subscription Contest. I wish the prize had been a tractor. My pony has hoof and mouth disease. It is very nasty. No tractor would ever have hoof and mouth disease, especially a Mc- Quiffle Triple Compound Tractor. Even if it did have hoof and mouth disease. I would rather have it than all the ponies in the world. My father says that I am not very brilliant. He also says that farmers are the most stupid people in the world. Mr. Whelley is stupid, and is a farmer. He owns a tractor. I hope that when I grow up I can be stupid enough to be a farmer. Then I can own a tractor. If I own a tractor, I bet you it will be a McQuiffle Triple Compound Tractor. It is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. I have $800.00 in the bank. I cannot get it out but my father says it is a good investment. It may be a good investment, but it won’t buy me a Mc- Quiffle Triple Compound Tractor. That’s what my uncle says and he ought to know because he is a wholesale grocer. Pad� One hundred fifty-nine Who Should Have Dogs and Other Pets THERE is a problem that confronts us at Kenyon which we present to the public in the expectation and high anticipation that we may find a reader who, in his or her peregrinations, has visited Constantinople and, observing the Turk’s method of solution, will impart it to us. We have written to the Koran, or whoever the mayor is, and our only reply was a request that we form a Shriner’s company so that we may be admitted into the political workings of that city. But we have no desire to become Shriners. In the first place, we dislike their hats; and, in the second place, we think that the inevitable crescent smacks of a laundry soap advertisement. But we digress. Here is the situation. The dogs on the campus have become a positive menace. A dog is all right as an individual, but the hordes that invade the “Hill” are dangerous. In the daytime, we can bear them, except for the fact that we have to pick our way down the Path, taking care to step over this one and between these two as they languidly repose in the warm sun. Even then, however, their presence is detri- mental; for they exert a potent soporific influence on the students. Their sophisticated indolence and nonchalant dalliance is an unhealthful example, especially for the Freshmen. Many of the early plastics have been seen aping this indifferent attitude toward life, lying on the campus with their heads on extended arms and even scratching themselves after the manner of their canine ideals. We trust that the cause of the scratching is not common to both the dogs and Freshmen, but the danger is imminent. At night, however, the horde organizes and forms into regiments and com- panies and, after a Jekyll-Hyde transformation, commences its tirade of destruc- tion. On the night of April 14th, at 10:31, a student, foolishly attempting a walk to the Bakery, was set on by the beasts and foully dissected. Poor lad, his thoroughly Fletcherized remains were spread over the campus, and he was so mutilated that only by the process of elimination could his identity be made certain. At roll call next day, each student answered to his name and swore that it was not he that had been collected that morning. And so it was found that J. Witherspoon Attlesby, Pate One hundred sixty who after all did resemble a hambone, was lost to the world. An autopsy discovered that, contrary to opinion, he had not been drinking. But, three nights later, a group, slightly aided in its natural effervescence of youth by external (or internal) promotion, were attacked and thoroughly dismem- bered before they could say “Jack Robinson”. Bottles and one corkscrew were the only evidence of their former existence. Yet the bleary eyes and un- steady gait of a number of the dogs in the morning proved conclusively that alcohol had been consumed to excess on the preceding evening. The bottles were intact and the corks in position so that mastication and digestion of the alimentary canals of the students was given as the reason for the inebriation of the dogs. The situation is painful and embarrassing and, instead of diminishing, Malthus’ principle seems to be in highly efficient working order. Several groups of whining and tottering innocents have recently sprawled forth on the campus and are being trained for future work on a “stiff” carelessly dropped by a Physio- logy student. All signs evidence even a further growth in canine population. There are now 239.62 dogs to every inhabitant of Gambier Township, and mathematicians figure on at least a tripling of this number by June 20. at 8:30 A. M. Should the college increase its enrollment or should the militia be called out to quell the beasts? We are at a loss to solve this enigma. Can You help us?

The anaemic - • - • moonlight was streaming past his corpulent face, and the fuzz on his checks aureoled his shadow on the Harvard pennant above his desk. His thoughts were inquisitive. He felt the urge of young things who revel in the Spring moonlight. Should he keep his engagement with Selma Supple? If he should yield to his emotions, how would he act, what would he do? A copy of “Lascivious Lads” slipped from his listless fingers and, clenching his fists, he decided. He would see her! His young eyes, eager for the solution of perplexing problems, had observed the tender oscillations of his parents even before he had watched, for a moment, the amorous dalliance of his older sister and her “steady He would try it. No one would know, and anyhow, if he could persuade himself that he loved the girl, what should he care for the censure of the world on love like his? Percy Sparks had put those very words in the mouth of his sophisticated hero whose way- Pa£c One hundred � ixty-four wardness he had breathlessly followed for two hundred and fifty-six pages. The shadow of the pennant moved and Mortimer left the room after a hasty glance at the picture of a gentle gray haired woman which hung between two bathing girls over his dresser. They sat on the steps in the sunken gardens. She, exquisite in the pale light that played around the tresses of her silken hair; he, thinking, hoping, daring. The thing still bothered him. Was it right? His mother, what would ....? But yes, who would know? Slowly he shifted his position, closer. Stealthily he slipped his hand from his lap and leaned on his arm,—behind her. Again that doubt. He ventured a glance at her. She was entrancing, intriguing, alluring. What need she for Sheik Lure? Her eyes half shut, her nostrils dilated, and quietly she gazed into the heavens—an apparition of voluptuous enchantment. The soft night air bore the strains of an orchestra from the Country Club. He recognized it Freud’s Sextette rendering “Sleepy Time Gal” for a group of swaying dancers. He listened, beguiled. And then came silence followed by another dance. Again he caught the soft chords, “Drifting and Dreaming”. Now was his chance. He grasped her passionately and sought her mouth. A sharp blow on the cheek sobered him and, stunned, he watched Selma spring to her feet. She was speaking. “Say, boy friend, just who dc you think you are? Where d’ya get that stuff? You ain’t spent a nickel on me since you picked me up! This ain’t no free Jew picnic. Go back to college and learn on someone else!” The story, sad though it may be, carries a bitter moral: “ Facere pugnam duo capit ”. Pa A e Orta hundred sixty-five Brotherhood of the Noose THIS inspiring address was delivered to the inmates of the Death House in the Cook County Jail, Chicago, on Christmas Eve, 1925, by Mr. Trelawney Babcock, President of the International Hangman’s Association. (Editor). Gentlemen: I am singularly honored. To see your bright faces, the noble countenances of you chosen men that are to be hanged, before me this beautiful Christmas Eve stirs me with a thrill, a true consciousness of my position; and more than ever before do I realize the significance of my mother’s dying words: “The gallows must be kept safe for Democracy”. I can truthfully say that I now understand the motives which caused me to turn from the shallow occupation of a selfish life, of a soulless existence, and to fortify my spirit behind the intensity of a true cause. That cause, gentlemen, has been consecrated through the ages by men such as you. I fear, gentlemen, that the true position of a hangman with regards to the men he is to hang has been sordidly debased. Popular ignorance has woven a screen through which the light of true understanding penetrates, alas, too obtusely. Thus I have but one message to deliver to you, a message which I hope you will remember to your dying day, a message which I hope you will comprehend with the standard of intelligence set for you by the traditions of your fraternity, the Fraternity of the Noose. I deliver to you a message in the spirit of this beautiful Christmas Eve. To you I deliver a message of love for your fellow man. You have embarked upon this career; it is my duty to see to it that it is brought to a successful conclusion, that it culminates in that age-old ges- ture, the joyous dance of death. Page One hundred aixty-aix Advance then, I say, to the gallows without fear. The monotonous beat of your very steps as you pass through that purely whitewashed corridor carries on the rythm of the proud death song of those who have passed before you. May the evening breeze, rustling gently through the gallows tree, swell your spirits with one exultant note. You are standing face to face with your future, curiously approaching eternity. And what, gentlemen, is my duty? Although I can truthfully say that, if it were not for you, I should be deprived of all importance, my position in itself has an intrinsic value. I symbolize that guiding spirit which brings peace to man. I symbolize a clean efficient death, a death to which you alone are entitled, a death with a personal touch. Am I not entitled to your confidence, or worse yet, are you not entitled to my confidence? It is not my intention to intrude upon your delicate natures. The time, however, has come when the executioner and the victim should be of the same mind. I will be blunt, gentlemen. Hanging must be put on a 100% basis of efficiency, pleasure, and grace! In one week a New Year will start. May the Christmas spirit during that time linger and form your thoughts, and may those thoughts fortify for us (I speak now of the entire Brotherhood) this one firm resolution: May 1926 be a Red Letter Year for the gallows. It’s up to you! P A One hundred sixty-seven We Nominate to the CLEOPATRA: Because she started the new arm-band fad. Because she had forty-seven children and not one of them was an Elk.

A Tete a Tete with Theda O’Hara AFTER I had heard a number of people remark on the probably wicked private life that the great movie villainess Theda O'Hara lived, I deter- mined, by arranging for an interview, to sound her on her opinions of life and ethics. I thought that if her home life were one whit less seductive, less treacherous, and less intriguing than her orthodox portrayal on the silver sheet, I might convince the pocple in my home town of Chough, Iowa, that she should remain at liberty. So off I went tc beard the ogre in her den. I was ushered into the sunken garden of her spacious home and saw her looking as sweet as a picture on a fish calendar in a gingham dress with a bow in the back. She saw me, noticed my clothes and assumed that there was a man in them. “ Come ”, thought I, “ Ply your seductive art on me. Look into my eyes and, with heaving breast, gently steal your arm over my shoulder as you raise your lips to mine. I'm immune. I have a girl friend in Chough, and six children in the orphan asylum. This is all right in the movies, but the actuality is boring.” But no...... Having seen me, she stood up; and, looking at her shoes, she bashfully tugged at her frock and giggled. She shyly greeted me. O, hello, Mr.... ah-—ah”. “Geschumeleitzer”, I helped her. “O, hello, Mr. Gumelietzer. Won’t you sit down?” She wistfully pointed to a wicker chair, and I assumed a sitting posture. I plunged to the point. “How often have you been married?”, I asked. A little giggle preceeded her words, spoken as she swung a gingham bonnet in her hand and poked the grass with her Educator shoe for women, “Never, but I have a fellow”. Her Pa fie One hundred seventy entire manner disappointed, I should say surprised, me. I thought of my little Wilhcmina (aged 8) and wished that I had a lolly-pop. Perhaps it would have put Miss O’Harra at her ease. “Do you love children?” Her healthy complexion reddened as she answered, “O, Mr. Guleitzer, stop, please”. I could plainly see that she was embarrassed; so I shifted. My prepared list of questions was useless; so I made an airplane out of it and let it glide to the ground. She was delighted at the trick, and together we sailed it all over the garden till it fell into a pool. At this she wept and called me a “Thing” because it was I who had let it get wet. At the end of a half hour I was exhausted from my rheumatic efforts to be congenial and share with her the pleasures of “Pussy in the Corner”, “Button, Button, Who’s got the Button”, “Spin the Plate”, and “Parchesi”. After we were all tired out she proffered a glass of cold milk and some of “cook’s goodies”. I downed them and was off after I had crossed my heart to come back and play with her some other afternoon. I didn’t return to Cough but have been here in Zambesi ever since, enjoying myself where the women don’t play games and where there aren't any movies- But in my leisure, I wonder why it never occurred to me to arrange an interview with Mary Wickford, the “little girl of the silver sheet.” PnUr One hundred eventy-one The “Fact-a-Day” Column The Home Life of The Dacelo Gigas COME with me for a while over the broad expanse of water that separates the United States from Australia, and together we will observe the home life cf that queer bird the Dacelo Gigas, or “Laughing Jackass”. Just why he is called a “Laughing Jackass” no one of our eminent bird lovers has been able to find out. In the first place, it doesn’t look any more like a jackass than does Pussyfoot Johnson to his disciples, and even the keen imagination of the President of our National Temperance Union, who swears that prohibition is successful, failed to detect the similarity of its cry to the hearty old laugh of a fun loving jackass. It is really hard to get the bird to laugh at all. Tickling it makes it mad and then, of course, it simply won’t laugh. An imported wise- crackin' guy from the States, after working his hardest on it for two hours, scarcely was able to get it to smile. A peep into its little nest will reveal a wonderful combination of mechanical ingenuity, delightfully good taste, an awful odor, and a complete electrical equipment of labor saving devices to keep the wife a bride. The generous father has even installed a pool table for his sons and daughters. The nest itself is cleverly constructed of old bottles, whiffle trees, shoe horns, bar rags, and other building materials. Let us now carefully study the character of the bird. His jealousy knows no bounds. He flew into a frenzy, biting his nails and tearing his hair, when he discovered that the eggs of his spouse were a robin’s egg blue instead of the natural orange tint that he was used to every Spring. At the precise time that I made this observation, a lone robin was discovered, disguised as a canary, on its return flight to the States. The Dacelo Gigas, in spite of his jealousy, is a fun loving character and can enjoy a joke quite as well as anyone. The journey is over and, refreshed, let us all return to our several homes. A continuation of the “Fact-a-Day” column will be in tomor- row’s paper, and I hope you will join us in our investigation of the “Pickle Industry in the Azores” Pafie One hundred %eventy two A Kenyon Longing Fellow Like a fire upon the hearthstone Is the longing for old Kenyon Kindling, sparkling, crackling, burning. Lighting up the heart’s dim corners. Where the shadows dance and flicker And the flames with graceful gestures Scurry upward through the darkness From the redly glowing embers. There a spirit altar rises And the men of old-time Kenyon, Stepping forth from mcm’ry’s pages, Gather ’round it with their class mates. Hence, whene’er the spirit wanders, Visits all the scenes of old-time, Gambier is its destination, Kenyon is its sole objective. Back from every field of labor Come these princes of good fellows, Back to pour their sweet libations And to sing the Hymn and Thrill Song. Take away old Kenyon’s glory, Blot her deeds from hist’ry’s pages, And you quench the fires of mem’ry, Leaving naught but ash and cinder. Pafio One hundred seventy-three The Poe-Etic Raving of a Kenyon Grad Once upon a morning dreary, as I brooded, sick and weary, Over all the hectic labors and the trials I forebore, While I pondered, cogitating, suddenly there came a grating As of one impatient, waiting, waiting at my sanctum door. “Tis Old Memory”, I murmured, “Alma Mater at the door........... Wonder echoes from old Kenyon! Glory be forevermore!” O'er my desk anon she hovered, perched and silently uncovered All the proverbs and the legends and the slogans that she bore—- “Buck up. Buddy”, “Keep on grinning”, “After all you may be winning”, “ Kenyon days are gone forever, but the memories of yore Still may cheer you, veer you, steer you to the Gambier you adore, Steer you up the Hill—a senior, graduating nevermore”. “Mater”, said I—voice unruly—“Tell me now and tell me truly Of the heebie-jeebie spasms I so thoroughly abhor— When my troubles sore oppress me, all conspring to distress me. Will you always come to bless me as you did in days of yore? Will you never disregard me in a manner I deplore, Nor endeavor to discard me?” Quoth the Mater, “Nevermore”. Paife One hundred seventy-four O For a Tenner, Son! Broke, broke, broke At the ladder’s foot, O see How contempt for four little aces Has flattened and finished me! An inquisitive nature sometimes Will teach a fellow a lot, But O for a touch of the vanished coin I dropped in that big jack-pot! I’m in need of a tenner, O son! How great is my need, O see! For nary a pot can I break, break, break, Unless you advance it to me. Broke, broke, broke, And down to the green, O see! And the raises I raised and the chips I chipped Will never come back to me.
