J NTl PATER of Palestine, the author of a guide-book for travelers, lived about tivo centuries before the Christian era. To him may be traced the list, since become au¬ thoritative, of the objects accounted worthy of a place among the seven wonders of the an¬ cient world .... Each of the seven wonders of the ancient world was built for a purpose . Their builders dreamed, and planned and worked to make of them the largest, the most wonderful and the most beautiful of any of their kind in the world . . . . As in ancient days men strove to build worthily of that which their labor ivas to represent, Linfield strives to build the highest and best of young womanhood and manhood ....

OAK LEAVES 1931 I ■ ADMINISTRATION The Pharos of Alexandria J UST OFF the coast of Egypt where the western branch of the Nile flows into the Mediterranean, stood in ancient time the little island of Pharos, called by the natives the 44 Garden of the Fig Trees ” The mainland beside this island was selected by Alexander the Great as the location of the city which was to bear his proud name. Cfc, The little island of Pharos, however, was still more favored, for there Ptolemy, to whom Egypt fell at the death of Alexander, erected the lighthouse which awed the ancient world and which far surpasses in magnitude any constructed by modern man. It is estimated that the structure was between four hun¬ dred and six hundred feet high. It compared with our tallest sky¬ scrapers of today and towered into the air probably three times as high as any lighthouse of modern times. The great mirror of finely wrought glass on the summit was considered to be the greatest of the marvels of the Pharos, rather than the structure be neath. Nothing is known of its size except that it was so large that when the Arabs removed it they were unable to put it back. The mirror reflected the suns rays a hundred miles or more out to sea, and at night reflected the less powerful light of the lan¬ terns or fires. Century after century the tower stood while Al¬ exandria yielded place to Rome, and Rome reached her zenith of power and declined. In 955, after Pharos had stood for over a thousand years, an earthquake threw down a large part of the summit. Two centuries later a domed mosque was built on its summit by the Mohammedans. Thus, the Faithful were able to pray high up where the air was cooled by sea breezes. The Ar¬ abs called the tower the Minara, and to this day every Moslem mosque has a minaret suggestive of the Pharos of Alexandria. «i Part of the tower was still standing when Columbus discov¬ ered the New World, but when the passage around Africa to India was discovered in 1498, Alexandria declined rapidly. The ruins of the Pharos gradually disappeared and the site where it stood has been forgotten. The end of the island where it stood has now weathered entirely away. OAK LEAVES HHMMi 1931 O. P.

Page 9 OAK LEAVES i u I ' w dwwmbbmmwimmbmmbwmbm—————— IMHMMWWWBi 1931 President Riley’s Message President Leonard W. Riley HIS HAS BEEN a quiet year at ® Linfield. Outstanding events have been few yet significant. Such seasons are necessary as they increase stability and produce real strength in the lives of both individuals and organizations. Cour¬ age, confidence, worthfulness are devel¬ oped. The year means all this for Lin¬ field. Our College has long enjoyed the ap¬ proval and support of the United States Bureau of Education, The General Edu¬ cation Board, the Board of Education of the Northern Baptist Convention and our State Departments of Education. More recently came the action of the North¬ west Association of Secondary and Higher Schools which placed Linfield on the coveted list of standard colleges and universities. This year may well be remembered because of the recognition of Linfield by the Carnegie Cor¬ poration of New York as worthy of a large investment of its funds. Our College will receive $2,000 annually for a period of three years for the purchase of books, magazines and bindings. This grant was made after a thorough investigation by a most competent expert in educational matters. The year is made memorable also by the visit of Doctor J. D. Elliff, of¬ ficial representative of our Baptist Board of Education. In the middle west Dr. Elliff is widely recognized as a trustworthy judge of what is best in edu¬ cation. His report to our Trustees after a week on our Campus was highly commendatory in all essential respects. He heartily approves of the poli¬ cies followed at Linfield. They are leading in the right direction. Some may remember this as the first year of the girls’ athletic turf field but more as the year the old bridge across Cozine creek was torn down and a new one erected. Pleasant memories cluster around the old structure. The new one, more substantial in every way, will doubtless develop its own traditions. Perhaps some others may think of this year in connection with the clos¬ ing of my twenty-five years at Linfield. These have been years of inestim¬ able privilege! My life has been happily enriched through association with the hundreds of splendid young people who have adorned the halls of Lin¬ field. May God bless them! I shall sorely miss them and much else at dear old Linfield, but my constant hope and prayer shall ever be that Lin¬ field may more and more become “the greatest light in the Pacific North¬ west. Page 10 ■ M OAK LEAVES 1931 The Faculty COLLEGE is not an abstract thing —-it is made up of human beings and is molded by their wills. It cannot be examined under a microscope, but ev¬ erywhere you can see evidence of the spirit of the human beings in it surely though slowly building and shaping it. And it is to the faculty more than to any other one group of people in a college that one comes in finding the source of most of that building and shaping spirit. Linfield’s faculty exemplifies to its students the true spirit of a college—the desire to learn, to disseminate knowledge, and to discover new truths—and com¬ bines with this willingness and readiness to help, to advise, and to understand. If you would find the true Linfield spirit, you will find in the faculty a group which not only conserves and keeps it alive, but one which helps in the building of that spirit. The following are the chairmen of the various faculty committees which help in making Linfield the college it is: Athletics, Henry Lever; Calendar of events, Harold Elkinton; Concerts and Recitals, Alice Clement; Depu¬ tation Work, Perry Woods; Discipline and Absences, Paul Orr; General Conduct and Social Affairs, Mrs. Storey; Library, Sabra Nason; Oratory, Debate and Dramatics, LeForest Sawtelle; Registration, Curriculum and Catalog, J. K. Riley; Room and Board, Mrs. Storey. During the past year the following have been student assistants: Ken¬ neth Derby and Opal Orr in Biology: Fred Ketch and Floyd Odell in Chem¬ istry; Bonnie Davidson in Business Administration; Frances Schick in En¬ glish; Jeannette Freeze and Helen McGillivray in French; Phillip Foord and LaVinia Buirgy in Speech; Chris Christensen, George Sargent and Lawrence Tichenor in Physical Education; Orile Robbins in Athletics, and Elizabeth Watkins in Secretarial Training. Louise Jennings has been sec¬ retary to the President and the Registrar, and Betty Cullen to the Treasurer. Helen Alexander, Lucile Beswick, Faith Elm, Gail McClean, and Lillian VonPinnon have been Library Assistants. Linfield College was founded for those young people ambitious of liv¬ ing lives of worth—may the faculty ever be leaders and builders of lives ready and willing to accept their share in the responsibilities and joys of life.

D. degree from Colgate-Rochester Divinity School. “J. K.” has been serving the college well in his capacity as registrar since 1924. With his friendly attitude and his interest in the problems of students, he has assisted in many a wise choice of college courses. A loyal friend, a pleasant companion, and a wise counsellor, “J. K.” exerts a wholesome in¬ fluence over the whole student body by his contact with each individual. Virginia F. Ward came to Linfield this year from the Illinois Wesleyan University School of Music, where she received her B. M. E. degree and where she was very prominent as a vocalist. She has a sweet soprano voice, and as she sings with nearly a perfect technique she is much in demand as a soloist. Under her leadership, several delightful musical programs were given this year. Miss Ward lakes an active interest in sports, having an exhaustless energy which she seems to impart to those about her, and by her winning personality students are influenced to do their utmost. Sabra L. Nason holds a B. L. degree from Carleton College and had her professional library training in the University of Illinois Library School. She comes here after twenty- one years of library experience in executive positions, both in college and in city and county public libraries. Eleven articles on library administration written by her have bee n pub¬ lished in state and national magazines, and she has two research studies nearly completed. She has spent over a year of travel in a trip around the world, visiting fifteen countries in the Orient and Europe. It was largely through her initiative that the Linfield College library received $6000 from the Carnegie Foundation, and it was she who initiated plans for the Bethel M. Evenson Trust fund. She is always kind-hearted and eager and willing to help those who seek her assistance. Charles H. Kopf has held his position for the past fourteen years, and has handled the finances of this institution remarkably well. An excellent background of business ability has made him a very careful financier. His kind heart and his flashes of real wit give the lie to his outwardly precise and severe manner, and make warm friends of all who really know him. James Eoff. violin instructor in the music conservatory, has studied under Jan Rubini, Mrs. Vary V. Dodge, Samuel Gardner, Peter Meremblum and Edouard Hurliman. He has been with Linfield College since 192S. He is a talented violinist, and for several years was a member of the Portland Symphony Orchestra. In 1923 he won first place in the Oregon State Music Teachers’ contest, and again in 1929 in a contest of the National Federation of Music Clubs held in Oregon. Mr. Eoff possesses great modesty as to his accomplishments and a shy and unassuming disposition, a very refreshing combination and one that makes him well liked. M. Eugenia Storey, who has been an instructor in the English Department of Linfield College for the past three years, is a graduate of Oregon State Normal and of the Univer¬ sity of Washington. She has also done graduate work in the latter institution and is now a candidate for her A. M. Degree. At one time she was head of the English department of the high school at Kirkland, Washington, and later was principal of the high schools at Harlem, Montana. Mrs. Storey has been chosen Dean of Women of Linfield College, and fills the position capably, being the possessor of a sweet and unassuming manner, which wins a place for her in the hearts of many. Gentle and gracious, she represents to the students a high type of womanhood, and as such holds their high esteem. Stella Genevieve Fraser has a B. A. in Music and a B. A. in Education from Wash¬ ington State College, and during her entire four years in that school she was assistant instructor in piano. She nas studied under Dean Herbert Kimbrough, Robert Schmitt, Frederic Hart of the Diller-Quaile school in New York, and Robert Zeigler. Miss Fraser is well liked by her associates because of her congenial temperament iand ready wit. and she has a distinguishing poise and grace which make her a pleasant person¬ ality to meet. She is much in demand both as a piano and vocal soloist. Luther R. Taylor, a graduate of our college, and holding a master’s degree in chemistry from the State College of Washington, returned to Linfield in 192S to take over the Chemistry Department. His faculty of mixing fun with chemicals has made him a favorite with his classes, and his ability to mix with his fellow men has made him in demand in larger circles. He has a pleasing tenor voice, which has made him well known both ' as a soloist and a member of quartets. Harold Charles Elkinton became a member of the Linfield College faculty in 1927. organiz¬ ing the Business Administration department. In the four years he has been here he has built up the department until it now has a large number of both majors and minors. He is a graduate of ' Whitman College and received his M. B. A. degree from the University of Oregon. He has made a place for himself in the hearts of both student body and faculty, this pleasant, peppy professor. Sweet and cheerful, Mrs. Friede Close McCoy is a real friend to every one of her girls. She takes an untiring interest in their sports and their development. Under her direction various athletic programs have been worked out to meet the different needs of the students. Mrs. McCoy’s bright and sunny smile and happy disposition are an inseparable part of her. A graduate of the Oregon Normal school in 1918, Mrs. McCoy holds also an A. B. from Reed College and has spent several year as a student of Oregon State College.

Frerichs Instructor in German Alice Clement Piano, Organ, Theory Ralph Ewing Storey Professor of English Page 14 OAK LEAVES 1931 George Woodford Payne has been a member of Linfield College faculty since 1906. He holds an A. B. and A. M. degree from Hamilton College, and has taken graduate work in Colorado University and the University of Washington. A faithful and conscientious worker, Professor Payne has been striving to interpret the classical languages in the light of the culture of ancient Greece and Rome. Steady and dependable, with a calm, unruffled manner, he is synonymous in the mind of the student body with constant stability. Herschel Edgar Hewitt has received an A. B. degree from Grand Island College, an A. M. from the University of Oregon, and has since been a graduate student of the same university. A member of the Linfield College faculty since 1921, Professor Hewitt has shown a real interest in the college activities and has been their loyal support! ' . He is friendly and kindly, and shows a personal interest in his students, and these qualities, together with his dry humor, have endeared him to his classes and his fellow faculty members. William Reinhard Frerichs, a graduate of Carthage College and also of the Colgate- Rochester Divinity School, holds as well an A. M. degree from the University of Oregon and has done graduate work with the Universities of Washington and of Oregon. He is spending this year at his old home in Germany, studying his native language. Professor Frerichs is a man of deep and firm convictions, and is deliberate and calm of manner. He is always helpful, hopeful and optimistic, and has an infinite capacity for taking pains. The return from abroad of this cheery and dependable personality will be welcomed with genuine gladness. Since 1923 Miss May Chalfant has served on the faculty as professor of French and Spanish. She is also coach of dramatics, and by her unfailing work has kept the standard of Linfield College dramatic presentations up to an unusually high level. She holds the ad¬ miration and respect of the students by her personal interest in them, by her genius as a teacher and coach, and by her wide fund of information on subjects outside her realm of teaching. Her extensive travel in foreign-speaking countries makes her exceptionally well qualified for her teaching of languages. Miss Chalfant received her Master’s degree from the University of Chicago, and has done further graduate work in Stanford University, Uni¬ versity of Paris, University of Madrid, and Columbia University, New York. Hannah M. Wiggman came to Linfield last year to take over the directorship of the commons. The previous five years she spent in Pryor, Montana, as a missionary to the Crow Indians. Miss Wiggman has also done missionary work among the Hopi Indians at Toreva, Arizona, and among the mining settlements in Gebo and Crosby, Wyoming. She is a graduate of the Baptist Missionary Training School in New Y T ork and also of the Bethel Institute in St. Paul, Minnesota. The training in home economics she received at the training school and her experiences in instructing domestic science have made her fully qualified to fill her present position. Among her outstanding characteristics is her loyalty and her consideration for her friends. Le Forest Waterman Sawtelle is decidedly enthusiastic about the future of public speak¬ ing work, recognizes its importance in the life of every college graduate, and imbues his students with his own energy and enthusiasm. He has built up his department until it now embraces a large number of students and may be chosen by a student for his minor sub¬ ject. He is a graduate of the State Normal School of Madison, South Dakota, and also of this college. He holds a Ph. B. from the University of Chicago and has been a graduate student of that university and of the Universities of Oregon and Southern California. William Charles Gregory has been with this institution for two years. He is a graduate of the State College of Washington and received his M. S. degree from that institution. He has done graduate work in the University of Washington, University of Colorado, Golden Gate Law College, and University of Chicago. Professor Gregory has a thorough knowledge of his subject, and in his classes illustrates with interesting anecdotes and experiences. Few are the individuals more affable and sweet-tempered than he or with more interesting and diverting characteristics. Mrs. William R. Frerichs has been teaching German this year while Mr. Frerichs studied in Germany. She holds a B. A. degree in German from the University of Idaho, and taught for two years in that institution. A charming simplicity and dignity of manner that is un¬ usual and that is almost striking sets Mrs. Frerichs apart and gives her individuality. She is sweet-tempered and gracious, and in all and above all, womanly. Alice Clement is a graduate of Pacific University Conservatory of Music, has a B. Mus. from Northwestern University, and has studied in the University of California. She also is a student of piano under Alberto Jonas in Berlin, under Arthur Loeser and Mme. M. M. Liszniewska, and of organ under Lucien E. Becker, F. A. C. O., William R. Boone and Edwin Stanley Seder, F. A. G. O. She has been with the Linfield Conservatory of Music since 1922. An accomplished musician. Miss Clements imparts to those under her an excellent technique and a sympathetic interpretation, and her ability as a teacher is coupled with an attractive , optimistic personality and a friendly disposition. Ralph Ewing Storey, a graduate of Linfield College and a teacher in the institution once before, he is thoroughly familiar with Linfield traditions and aspirations and in sympathy with them. His latest connection with the college began in 192S. Besides his Lit. B. from Linfield, he holds an A. B. from Brown University, a B. D. degree from Newton Theological Institution, an A. M. from the University of Washington, attended Harvard University as a graduate student, and is now a candidate for his Ph. D. degree from the University of Washington. Deliberate in speech and action, genial in temperament, and well steeped in our literature and language is Professor Storey. Page 15 OAK LEAVES 1931 Paul J. Orr Pi •ofessor of Education H. W.

Orr is another graduate of Linfield who has returned to this college as a profes¬ sor. He received hi si A. B. from Linfield, has a B. S. from the College of Puget Sound, an A. M. from the University of Washington, and a Ph. D. from the same university. Progressive and up-to-date, both in his teaching methods and his beliefs, Dr. Orr is aggressive and at the same time earnest in his probing for facts, urging his students to be the same. As teacher of the Conquest Class of the Sunday School, Dr. Orr comes in contact with students he does not meet in the classroom and has attracted to himself a large following. Although this is Coach Lever ' s first year in Linfield, he has already won the respect and confidence of the men with whom he works, and athletics in the college have made great progress in this one year. Coach Lever has received a B. S. from Ohio University, and has taken graduate work in that school and at Oregon State College and University of Oregon. During the time which he coached athletics in college and normal he won ten state cham¬ pionships as coach of major college sports. One of his basketball teams played and won ten straight games, scoring 254 points to opponents’ 41 points, for a season’s record. William Jabez Jerome is a true gentleman of the old school and impresses all who meet him with his gentle manner and never failing courtesy. He will long be remembered for his unswerving loyalty to his high ideals, for his inspiring belief in the Eternal Goodness, and for his soft, low voice and pleasing manner. He has received his B. A. and M. A. degrees from the University of Washington, and came to Linfield in 1925 from a city school super¬ intendency. May he contnue to inspire many to seek a higher level of achievement, both mental and spiritual. Perry Daniel Woods holds an A. B. as well as an A. M. from Denison, a B. D. from the Colgate-Rochester Divinity school, and he has done two years’ work in Ohio State University. At present he is doing graduate work at the University of Oregon. The years between. 1911 and 1918 he spent in Porto Rico as principal of the Grace Company Institute, then a training school for Baptist ministers. A man of utter sincerity and personal integrity, Professor Woods adds much not given in the curriculum to his classes through his personal acquaintance with the students. Lebbeus Smith Shumaker has been a member of the Linfield College faculty since 1920. He received his A. B. from Colgate University in 1902, and his A. M. from the University of Iowa in 1921. He has also done graduate work in the University of Oregon. A man of lofty ideals and sincere purposes, he gives his time without reserve to the support of the collejre and for the best interests of his students. He is an ardent advocate of high scholarship and inspires those under him to attain their highest level of achievement. James Arthur Macnab became a member of our college faculty in his present position in 1924. A real student himself, he insists that members of his classes put forth their best efforts in study and research work. But a winning smile, red hair, and a fund of ready wit and humor will always find a place in human hearts, and Professor Macnab is decidedly popular with his students. Besides his A. B. from Albany College, Professor Macnab holds an M. S. from the University of Nebraska and has done graduate work in the University of Nebraska and in Puget Sound Biological Station. Roy Deane Mahaffey graduated from this college in 1928 and has been teaching Spanish in Linfield for the past three years. Fun-loving and peppy, “Happy has made Spanish highly interesting, illustrating the subject with colorful bits of life in Old Mexico as he has seen it himself. With his keen mind and his thorough knowledge of the language, her also enables his students to get a good grasp of the subject. Exceptionally talented in dramatics, “Happy” has taken the lead in many college plays, both before and since his graduation. Alice Morrison has spent only one semester as a member of the Linfield faculty, but has proved to be a capable teacher of history. She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Amity College, Iowa; a diploma from Oregon State Normal and a Master of Arts degree from the University of Washington. A number of years in teaching experience in high schools and colleges has given Miss Morrison a thorough knowledge of her subject and ably fitted her for the work here. Her pleasant manner, varied methods of teaching, and her interest in the students are combining to make her work successful. A gruff exterior, which must have been acquired to subdue untractable college students and to hide his wonderful warmth of his heart, characterizes Dean Northup, who has. been connected with the college faculty since 1888, and who holds an A. B. and A. M. degree from Colgate University, a B. D. from the Baptist Union Theological Seminary, and an L. L. D. from Linfield College. The casual acquaintance remembers his deep, gruff voice and the piercing gleam in his deep-set eyes, but those privileged to friendship know that a twinkle usually lurks in those same eyes and that the gruff voice frequently gives utterance to thoughts that are noble and sublime. Page 17 CLASSES The Tomb of King Mausolus ” t T HE OLD and well known, yet ever new story of the love of a woman for a man, is the theme of the erection of the tomb of King Mausolus. Of the many beautiful love stories which have come down to us out of the legends of the past, perhaps none is more touching because of the constancy and steadfast loyalty of the devotion it portrays. Mausolus and his sister, Artemisia, were children of Hecatomnus, ruler of the ancient kingdom of Cairo. History tells us that they were both endowed with re¬ markable beauty and wisdom. As children they were insepara¬ ble playmates, and when they grew up they became husband and wife, according to the custom of the royal Carian family. Few marriages have been happier than this of brother and sister, and when Mausolus died the heart-broken Artemisia began the erec¬ tion of a tomb to honor his memory. It was to be the wonder of the world. Four of the most renowned sculptors of that period were set to work to adorn the sides of the structure, and though Artemisia died before the completion of the tomb, the sculptors continued their work, each vying to surpass the others in excel¬ lency of his craft. It was not the magnitude of the mausoleum which won the admiration of all who saw it, for it covered but half the area of the Parthenon. Fame came to it because of its graceful outlines, its harmonious coloring, its artistic placement of reliefs and statues, its perfection of each minute detail, and the light and airy effect which it created. Earthquakes have since levelled the imposing structure and the stones of its foundation were later used in the construction of the fortress of St. Peter. Years ago all the fragments that could be gathered together were taken to the British Museum. It is there that the visitor of today will find the best of all that remains of this ivonderful monument —the broken silent witnesses of the abiding love of a queen for her brother-husband. SENIORS OAK LEAVES 1931 � Renshaw Leever Senior Class President_Philip Renshaw Vice-President_Florence Leever F OUR YEARS have passed since 103 green and bewildered Freshmen entered the doors of Linfield College. These years have been busy ones, and the Class of 1931 leaves behind it a worthwhile record of varied achievements. During the first year the class won the annual Sophomore-Freshman contests, thereby gaining a right to place its numerals on the grandstand. At the close of the school year the Freshmen were recognized as a rapidly growing group, one destined to fill an important place in college life. Thus ended a most successful year. The presentation of the Sophomore play, “The Goose Hangs High,” marked an important occasion in the second year. Then, too, members be¬ gan to take prominent parts in school activities, including forensics, music, dramatics and athletics. As Juniors they became even more active, contributing leaders to all school affairs. The Junior song and stunt and the clever blue sweaters with gold numerals attracted much attention.

Senior parties, arranged by Florence Leever, vice-president, proved to be pleasant diversions. In Oc¬ tober, at a box social, the Seniors forgot their dignity and frolicked in a manner more becoming underclassmen. Equally enjoyable were the Thanksgiving and Christmas parties, and a banquet with the Valentine idea as motif. Many members of the class stood high in scholarship throughout their college course. The Senior class play “‘Skidding” was an outstanding event, being one of the best productions ever sponsored by the college. With the passing of the class of ’31 Einfield loses valuable leaders in all its activities. It is with mingled regret and expectation that the members leave Einfield ' s halls and go out to take their places in broader fields of teaching, business and other paths of service.

C The Olympian Zeus ’ ’ ’ t FW 0 FEW men has been given the task of creating a god, but such ® was the work of the Greek sculptor, Phidias, who modelled the statue of the Olympian Zeus. He created such a wonderful and life-like image that all who saw it felt that it looked just as a god should look. Not a trace remains of Phidias’ masterpiece, but tradition and legend tells us that so real was the statue that in looking on it, one saw not the ivory , and gold with which it was inlaid, but the actual god Zeus, ruler of Olympia. C|, Little is known of Phidias’ parents except that his father before him was a sculptor, but it is easy to imagine the curly-haired, blonde Greek laddie playing in the sand or modelling figures in clay for his playmates. Early in life he was placed under the greatest teach¬ ers of that age of renowned sculptors, and when very young he showed his ability to do great work. He soon became dissatis¬ fied with the marble ivhich other sculptors used, because it could not be made to look life-like, and after many years of experiment¬ ing adopted the ivory and gold inlay which he used to such per¬ fection in this, his masterpiece. C|, Phidias lived during the reign of Pericles, the most brilliant period of Greek art and his¬ tory. The wonderful sculpturing of the Parthenon was inspired by him, and he, himself, devoted his genius to the statue of Ath¬ ena which adorned it. But prominence always brings enemies and Phidias, with the downfall of Pericles, was banished from Athens. He took refuge in the city of Olympia, where the temple of Zeus was then in the process of construction. To him was giv¬ en the task of sculpturing the image of the ruler of the gods, and for eight years he labored on this magnificent piece of work. When he had completed it men said that Phidias alone had seen the gods, for he alone had the art to make them visible. OAK LEAVES 1931 Raemer Schreiber President A. S. L. C. W HILE there are many organizations on Linfield’s campus which em¬ brace varied activities and which include in their membership a large number of students, the one organization which maintains a balanced program of extra-curricular activities for all the students is that of the As¬ sociated Students of Linfield College. All its activities are organized under one head and are regulated by one governing body, but its branches extend in every direction: dramatics, ath¬ letics, music, literature and forensics—enough to give every student an op¬ portunity to develop his resources. During the past year the A. S. L. C. has carried on a full program of activities in spite of the financial difficulties due to the general business conditions. No phenomenal achievements or growths have been chronicled during the present year, but a harmonious organization full of activity has been maintained. The A. S. L. C. is greatly indebted to the members of the executiive board who have fulfilled their duties in directing the business and finances of the association without remuneration and with scarcely any recognition.

General supervision of all activities and the administration of all funds is under the control of the executive board. It is composed of nine mem¬ bers, which include the president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer of the student body, and an elected representative from each class and from the conservatory of music. At regular weekly meettings of the board the requests of the various managers are granted, all expenditures of the student body are approved, and athletic and forensic schedules are sanctioned.

The success of student body undertakings during the past year is to a great extent the result of the effort, enthusiasm and loyalty of these managers, working together with the other student body officers. The general manager, manager of the Review and manager of Oak Leaves are elective offices and are filled at regular student body elections. But on the executive board rests the responsibility for the nomination and election of the ! other five managers. Extra-curricular activities such as those carried on under the leadership of these managers are a vital force in student life. Much credit goes to this year’s managers for their successful carrying out of their duties. Page 41 OAK LEAVES 1931 m Durham Maness Goodrich Weeks R. Beal B. Davidson V. Taj lor Board of Student Promotion Marie Maness, Chairman Ruth Beal Alva Goodrich Bonnie Davidson George Weeks Virginia Taylor Claude Durham Organized in 1926, the Board of Student Promotion has for its aim “A Bigger and Better Linfeld.” Since the former duties of the Field Sec¬ retary of the college have been placed in the hands of the board its work is extensive and very important. Through personal contact and correspon¬ dence the board strives to make acquaintance with students who are inter¬ ested in attending Linfield. Each year the board sponsors a chapel program on “Booster Day,” and then reveals its plans for future activities. On May Day, also known as Prospective Student Day, the board does its greatest work in entertaining prospective students. The work of this group is exceedingly valuable and through its efforts many students are induced to attend Linfield. Membership consists of the Vice-President of the student body, who automatically assumes chairmanship of the board, and six appointed mem¬ bers.

Riley Oak Leaves T EN years ago the first “Oak Leaves” of Mc¬ Minnville College appeared. Previous to this time the Review Staff published an extra edi¬ tion of the Review at every commencement sea¬ son which in its limited way represented the act’v- itties of the year. By the following year the college had changed its name, so that, in 1922, the first Oak Leaves of Linfield College appeared. Each annual has, in turn, been distinctive and individual in theme and presentation. Yet each has succeeded in being, as stated in the foreword of the first “Oak Leaves” “an honest endeavor to try to picture the life and activities of our Alma Mater as they really are.” The Staff Jeannette Freeze .Editor-in-Chief Florence Macy ..

M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. This year the handbook was edited by Vinton Sneeden and managed by Marjory Hewitt. This volume, as those in previous years, succeeded in being a valuable aid to the old as well as the new students, by its com¬ pleteness in giving registration procedure, a glimpse into the varied activi¬ ties, the college calendar, a list of songs and yells, college regulations, and other features of interest. Fusser’s Guide The Fusser’s Guide as an “Aid to Campustry” has always proved to he a worthwhile campus publication. It is an alphabetical directory of names, addresses—both college and home—and telephone numbers of each mem¬ ber of the faculty, administration, and student body. This book is pub¬ lished each fall by two students under the auspices of the administration. This year’s publication was edited by Russell Hollinshead, 32, and man¬ aged by Bonnie Davidson, ’33. For a fee far less than the actual worth of the book, each student is able to secure those minute details so essential in an advance course in campustry, and the business men of the town find that such an edition is helpful to them in identifying and locating students. Rook Bible With its purpose to “show the Freshmen the noble and enlightening Linfield spirit” the Rook Bible, published by the Class of ’33 for the guid¬ ance of the Class of ’34, has truly justified its existence. This small but attractive green volume is published yearly under the auspices of the Daughters of Tradition and the Triple 0’s. It contains an imposing list of rules and commandments for Freshmen. Organizations and traditions of the college, including the songs and yells are also outlined. Due to the combined efforts of the editors, Edith May Jenks, Paul Swanson and Ralph Stuller, the 1930-31 Rook Bible was successful in every respect.

Page 53 DEPARTMENTS The Temple of Diana ’ ’ ’ S OME SAY that the gods we worship are only the creat ion of our own minds, that they are born with us and possess the forms and characteristics which we think our gods should possess. So the goddess Artemesis, or Diana, who ultimately came to have more worshippers than any other of the ancient Greek deities, was first a bear, then she assumed human form and became the goddess of the chase, of agriculture, of sailors, and of the moon. Cl There is a legend that tells us that a statue of the goddess first fell from heaven and was found standing upright in a thicket. This thicket was transformed into a grove, in which stood an aged, hollow cedar tree. This hollow tree was the first temple of Diana, and when it blew over or finally disappeared, a temple was con¬ structed to the goddess where the tree had stood. Four other structures were erected and destroyed on this same site before the great temple of Diana, which was the wonder of the world, was begun. Pliny tells us that it took one hundred and twenty years for the completion of this magnificent edifice, though it was not famed so much for its size nor its sculptured decorations as for the varied business interests it controlled and the wide influence it exerted. Pilgrims flocked to the temple bringing treasures and gifts of gold and silver till the wealth of Diana became prodig¬ ious. At one time the temple controlled the greater part of the wealth of the Orient, and was to the ancient world all that the Bank of England is to the modern world. Diana’s temple, like others of that day, was also a sanctuary of refuge for the hunted and the criminal. «l When Ephesus fell, the stones of the temple were taken for the construction of a Christian church. That, too, fell to ruin, and the once teeming town has for centuries been practically deserted. The ruins are now overgrown with shrub¬ bery, and silence reigns everywhere; in fact, for a long time the site of the temple was forgotten completely, until modern exca¬ vations uncovered the ruins. A few stones are all that remain of a temple which because it was great and beautiful and rich, be¬ cause it was a place of refuge and a bank, and because it was re¬ vered more highly than any other, was a wonder of the world . PUBLIC SPEAKIHO OAK LEAVES 1931 Coach Sawtelle Manager Schick Linfield’s Forensics D URING this year the Forensic Department has undertaken and accom¬ plished great things for Linfield. A full debate schedule for both men and women interested more than thirty students. Questions dealing with “free trade,” “chain stores,” and the Ghandi situation were discussed. Participants in extempore discussed “unemployment” and “crime.” An unusual amount of interest was manifested in oratory also. The outstanding events for forensics this season were the California debate trip in April and the regional Pi Kappa Delta convention, held on our campus the last of March. The local 1894 oratory contest and the freshman extempore contest, held during commencement week, interest many students also. The state, the Pi Kappa Delta, and the local co ntests were all extremely interesting, profitable, and worthwhile. We believe that forensics has at¬ tained and has proved to be a vital, creative factor in campus activities. Much of the success in this year’s activities is due to the untiring efforts of Coach Sawtelle, the helpful assistance of Miss Chalfant, and the man¬ agement of Frances Schick. Page 56 OAK LEAVES 1931 Heseman Leach Cummins Mason Jenkins Renshaw Oratory ■ INFIELD I is proud of her record in oratory during 1930-31. Last ™ spring Elliot Cummins ably represented us in the state constitution contest with his oration on “I Crave the Law.” Grace Mason was our extempore entrant in the state contest held in February, speaking logically and forcibly on one phase of the unemploy¬ ment situation in the United States. In March of this year Helen Leach was once more chosen as the Lin- field orator in the Old Line Contest. Her oration, “The New Woman,” was strikingly presented. In the Pi Kappa Delta meet Miss-Leach won first place in the women’s contest, speaking on “Visions of Hope.” Her oration was chosen as the one to be sent to the national Pi Kappa Delta essay contest. Philip Ren¬ shaw won second place in the men’s contest, speaking on “Visions of Des¬ tiny.” John Jenkins was our mens extempore speaker, the general subject being “Unemployment.” In her extemporaneous speech on “Crime,” Min¬ nie Heseman easily won first place in the woman’s contest. In April Frances Schick tied for second rank in the state peace contest. Her oration was called “Building for Peace.” Page 57 OAK LEAVES 1931 Waltz Frerichs Bradley Hewitt Cummins Jones Knox E. Gwin Hunter Foord Debate T he recent debate season has been a busy one for inter-collegiate con¬ testants. Three different questions were studied. One men’s team dis¬ cussed “Resolved, that the expansion of the chain stores is detrimental to the best interests of the American people.” A number of debates for women were scheduled on “Resolved, that Ghandi has been a benefit to India.” However, most of the contests centered on the national Pi Kappa Delta question, “Resolved, that the nations should adopt a policy of free trade.” Many of the debates were held on our campus with traveling teams from the Northwest Nazarene,, College in Idaho, Weber College in Utah, Bellingham Normal from Washington, Eastern Oregon Normal and Wash¬ ington State College. Dual contests were scheduled with Monmouth Nor¬ mal, University of Oregon, Albany College, Pacific University and Oregon State College. The real test of skillful debating came in the regional Pi Kappa Delta contests in March. Elliot Cummins and Kenneth Hewitt were our repre¬ sentatives in the men’s division. Minnie Heseman and iBonnie Davidson were successful in winning first honors in the women’s division. jlI—. Page 58 ■■■■■■■■MIMIIIMWIIMHHMHMMniMMBIMM OAK LEAVES 1931 Laughlin Dirks B. Davidson Heseman Page Grover Mason Bennett Jennings The climax of the season was a debate tour through California. On April 2nd Professor Sawtelle left McMinnville with seven debaters. Their ten days’ itinerary included debates with Fresno State Teachers’ College, Whittier College, University of Redlands, University of Southern California, California Christian College and California Institute of Technology. Those making the trip were Bonnie Davidson, Minnie Heseman, Louise Jennings, Dorothy Dirks, Grace Mason, Elliot Cummins and Kenneth Hewitt. By winning the majority of the decision debates and upholding cases effectively in the large number of non-decision contests, these debaters cer¬ tainly proved their ability as speakers. Philip Foord should be commended for his effective work as coach of freshmen debate. We believe the past season has been very worth while and much of the credit is due to the coaching of Coach Sawtelle. By directing energy into the profitable forces of forensics he has greatly aided Linfield in becoming a true “builder.” Page 59 DRAMA OAK LEAVES 1931 Coach Chalfant Linfield’s Little Theatre The words “Little Theater” to all who know Linfield College are an “Open Sesame”—an “Open Sesame” to the laughter and comedy of every¬ day life; to the thrill of adventure in far lands; to the sorrow and suffering of war; to the beauty of a rain-swept trail at dusk; to the mystery of moon¬ light on southern waters; to love and to dreams. To it the students look for their knowledge of what is best in music and drama, and they have not been disappointed for under the skillful direc¬ tion of Miss May Chalfant many of the finest and most recent stage pro¬ ductions have reached the student body. It is due to the artistry of her staging effects, her very splendid technique, her careful attention to detail, and her genius in discovering and developing individual possibilities that each year Linfield’s Little Theater grows in popularity. Too much credit “The Enchanted April,” sponsored by the Cardinal Masque Players, May Day, 1930 Page 62 OAK LEAVES 1931 Assistant Coach Mahaffey Manager Johnson cannot be given her for the successful year through which it has just passed. For the last two years she has been assisted in the staging and presentation of the plays by Mr. Roy D. Mahaffey. As a student and a professor he has played varied and difficult roles in plays staged here in the last six years. Cecil Johnson has been the efficient manager for the Little Theater this year. During this year the productions have been the 1930 May Day play, “The Enchanted April”; the Alumni play; the Sophomore play, “White Collars”; the Pi Kappa Delta play, “The Boomerang,” and the Senior play, “Skidding.” The Little Theater contributes much to college life, both in the plays which it presents and in the training which it affords the par¬ ticipants in these productions. It will always be one of the never-to-be- forgotton memories in the treasure chest of happy days on Linfield’s campus. “White Collars,” presented by the Sophomore Class, November 7, 1930 Page 63 1931 OAK LEAVES “The Boomerang,” sponsored by Pi Kappa Delta, December 12, 1930 “Skidding,” presented by the Senior Class, March 6, 1931 “The Bohemian Girl,” presented by the Combined Glee Clubs, April 1, 1931 Page 64 mm mmm MUSIC OAK LEAVES 1931 Front row: A.

Thomson, Ankcorn, Parent, Demandante Men’s Glee Club In both numbers and enthusiasm the men’s glee club has advanced con¬ siderably over previous years. Under the faithful leadership of Miss Ward, the men have become more sensitive to the beauty of the art of song and more awake to the opportunities of serving others through this medium. Both glee clubs, either separately or combined, have performed at various times. Twice the men have sung at the services of the local church. The combined glee clubs sang at chapel services on different occasions. Much favorable comment by townspeople as well as by members of the college has been expressed in regard to the excellent work which the glee club is doing. The most aspiring achievement of the year was undoubtedly the pre¬ sentation by the combined glee clubs of the renowned opera, “Bohemian Girl,” by W. M. Balfe, given in Melrose Little Theatre on April 1, 1931. With its exquisite music and theme of love and romance, a more choice production could not have been chosen. Harmonious coloring, well-blend¬ ed tones, finally shaded (nuances gave a superior quality to the chorus work. The individual roles were portrayed in a manner befitting profes¬ sionals. Accompaniments on the piano and organ were beautifully played. The dramatic action supplemented most commendably the musical ■ aspects of the performance. Interesting music for the programs to b e given on May Day and Com¬ mencement is now being arranged.

Ward, the Women’s Glee Club has occupied an enviable place in college activity. Consistently Miss Ward has shown an ever-pres¬ ent enthusiasm, an intense love of music, a close intimacy with vocal liter¬ ature. With her excellent training in voice culture and her faculty of leadership, a vision of a women’s glee club that would as one instrument, unified and beautifully controlled, interpret most artistically the creations of the master composers, has become a vivid ireality. By more exacting requirements, a limitation has been imposed upon the membership, thus permitting a more exclusive and higher grade of work. Training for those who are receiving special instruction in voice is abundantly enhanced by the additional chorus work received in glee club practices. For the women who do not have the opportunity to study pri¬ vately the glee club affords a general instruction that is of inestimable value to them. The inspiration to construe the true spirit of the glee club in various channels of service has manifested itself by individual and small group singing which has been much in evidence during the year. As the occa¬ sions have arisen, quartets, duets, trios have participated in various pro¬ grams. The Christmas concert given by the combined men’s and women’s glee clubs at the First Baptist Church, consisting of solos and chorus numbers, lended much to the Christmas message.

The unique aim of the choir is to interpret artistically the best types of unaccompanied church music. Under the auspices of the Phi Kappa Gamma local honorary society and under the direction of Miss Virginia Ward, the choir presented a most im¬ pressive program of old Christmas carols in Melrose Hall, Sunday after¬ noon, December 14. The program was divided into two main divisions each containing seven selections of old carols of all nations. Between each group Dr. Raymond B. Culver, as the interpreter, enhanced the appreciation by giving fitting explanations to the numbers. The singers, attired in long, black robes, created realistically the atmosphere of the old English custom of carol-singing as they entered informally one by one and seated themselves by the candle-lit table. The skillful blending of tones lended a spiritual beauty to all of the singing. The program was varied by an organ solo ren¬ dered by Miss Alice Clement. With the audience singing “The First Noel” the concert was brought to a close. Because this year’s concert and a similar one given last year imparted so truly the Yuletide spirit, it has been decided that the Phi Kappa Gamma Christmas concert will be an annual event. Other interesting work is now being planned by the A Capella Choir. Page 68 OAK LEAVES 1931 Band and Orchestra The orchestra has enjoyed a successful year of activity under the lead¬ ership of Mr. James Eoff. Being a member of the Portland Symphony or¬ chestra, Mr. Eoff is well qualified as a director. The year’s experience he received in conducting work under Willem Van Hoogstraten, leader of the Portland Symphony orchestra, in connection with a University of Oregon extension course, has also given him valuable training. With an average size of sixteen instruments, the orchestra has given three concerts and has played between acts at most of the plays presented in Melrose Little Theater. The rendering of several numbers at one of the regular monthly music night programs given at the Baptist church added much to the beauty of the service. Two chapel musicales have also been given by the orchestra, and a concert will be given at the Dayton Baptist church sometime in May. Although the band has experienced a rather irregular season, it has for the most part accomplished more than in former years. A twelve-piece band traveled to Pacific University for the football game there, and an eight- piece band was usually on hand for all the home games. Ernest Wright was director again this year. Page 69 ATHLETICS The Colossus of Rhodes ' T O COMMEMORATE their victory over Demestrius of Mace donia, the Rhodians built the Colossus which guarded the en¬ trance to their harbor, using the proceeds from the sale of Deme- trius’ abandoned engines of war to build the statue. For twelve months the Macedonian had beseiged the little city, and when he finally abandoned the struggle, the Rhodians gave to the noted sculptor, Chares, the task of erecting a statue that would be a fit¬ ting memorial of their victory. After twelve years of labor Chares completed the collossal brass statue, which stood about two-thirds as high as our Statue of Liberty, and was exquisitely complete in detail and perfectly proportioned. In order to in¬ sure the upright position of the statue the hollow cavities of the legs were filled with stones. The Colossus was not destined to stand long, for but fifty-six years after it was erected an earth¬ quake shook the island and the statue fell with a crash. Three centuries later, when Pliny visited the island, the brass giant was still prostrate. For practically nine hundred years the wonder of the world lay upon the rocky shore of the island he had once so proudly guarded. Incredible as it may seem, the fallen statue was sold as old metal. As such it was bought by a Jew of Horns from the Arab conquerors of Rhodes. Tradition says that the Jew required nine hundred camels to carry away the load. To¬ day there is no trace of the famous Colossus in the little harbor nor is the exact spot where it once stood definitely known. No longer does this huge statue of Helois, the sun god, stand astride the harbor of the island of Rhodes which it once made famous. Like so much that men build, only memories of it are left. OAK LEAVES 1931 Linfield Athletics i INFIELD has won no championships during the past year, yet no one interested in Linfield has any cause to feel ashamed of our athletic ac¬ complishments. In every game whether won or lost, the players have fought -or the honor of their Alma Mater, displaying at all times a fine spirit of loyalty and sportsmanship. Realizing that athletics have a deeper purpose than to beat the other fellow, they have gone in to play the game and to play it cleanly. They have acquitted themselves honorably in every contest, and have shown marked improvement in every sport. Linfield s tiack team met with disaster in every meet last spring because of the lack of material. More men were needed in every event in order to gainer enough points to win a meet. Several outstanding individuals per- foimed well in their particular event, but the lack of material was especially felt in the sprints. The team was also handicapped because “Pill” Warren, an outstanding sprint man, was unable to turn out. The tennis team was more successful, however. The racket aces won tournaments from Pacific University, Pacific College, College of Puget Sound, and lost only to Willamette University and Whitman College. At the Northwest Conference tournament the Whitman team was the one to el¬ iminate Linfield. Linfield took third place in the race for baseball supremacy in the con¬ ference. She presented a team that was hard to beat. Willamette, the cham¬ pions, were held to quite low scores. Pacific University succeeded in taking one game, but Linfield overcame the rest of the teams. For the first time in three years, Linfield College won a football game t is year. She downed Albany College 32 to 6 and presented a team that showed a very great improvement over last year’s team. Although Linfield again placed at the bottom of the conference standing, it is not expected that she will remain there next year. t • 5° ever inaugurated a system of intramural athletics for men at infield this year. A cup was offered for the fraternity making the most points Tn tournaments in basketball, indoor baseball, handball and volley¬ ball. Wrestling was also gotten under way, and though not much has been accomplished so far, the prospects look good. While the cardinal and purple have not always been the triumphant col¬ ors students and onlookers at the games are able at the end of the year to look back over contests in which Linfield’s teams have acquitted themselves with honor. Page 71 OAK LEAVES 1931 Coach C oach lever was elected head of Linfield’s athletics last summer by the board of trus¬ tees, and this choice has proved very wise. He came from Myrtle Point High School, where he had coached excellent teams for five years. He was highly recommended and has fulfilled our expectations. Lever is not a coach who is satisfied to put out a team that just plays good ball. He in¬ tends for his teams to play a little better than the other team. He expects his team to win. And he has begun to instill his hopes and expec¬ tations into the minds of the men under him. The players are beginning to believe that they can win and they go out to win. Lever expects his men to fight every second that they are in the game, but he also expects them to play clean bail. For the first time in three years he put the Linfield football team on the winning list. His victory over Albany was the first football victory for Linfield in three years. Althought he introduced a new type of basketbtall, he was still able to place his team third in the conference standing, so we are expecting a team in football that will place high in conference standings next year, and a basketbal l team that will climb still higher than it did this year. Coach Lever Assistant Coach Robbins Captain Baseball Renne Track Man Sargent Page 72 OAK LEAVES 1931 Manager |J PON the shoulders of the athletic manager rests the responsibility of carrying on fa¬ vorable relations with other schools. He has as much responsibility as any other officer of the Associated Students. On his mind rests tthe worry of making financial ends meet. This year the funds of the Associated Students have been very limited, but Russell Hollinshead has man¬ aged to carry on in spite of this fact. Russell, more commonly known as “Holly,” is a junior and was elected assistant manager by the athletic committee and the executive board, and last spring received the vote of con¬ fidence of the students which made him man¬ ager. He carried on well under Renne and this year succeeded in installing the towel service for which Renne had worked so hard. Not only has Holly performed the duties of this office, but at the same time he has been an outstanding athlete. Thus, his task was made doubly difficult. Holly has succeeded in keeping the athletic equipment in good condi¬ tion and has been very conservative with the funds. However, he has al¬ ways seen to it that the team was well provided for on their trips. He has proved to be one of the most efficient managers the school has ever had. Manager Hollingshead Captain Football Jones Basketball Man Darby- Assistant Manager Hunter Page 73 OAK LEAVES 1931 Football Barklow, Center —“Dick ' ” was doubtless the best freshman center in the conference. He gained honorable mention on the all-conference team. He always played the same cool-headed progressive ball no matter how tight the game was. In another year or two he should be the best center in the conference. Darby, Tackle —-“Biggs” was a mighty hard man to take out of the line, though there were plenty of them that he took out. He made some brilliant tackles in every game. This was his second year of football at Linfield, and we ex¬ pect still better work next year. Dodson, Tackle —“Dodson” is another of those big boys from Wasco, and he proved to be equal to that other Wasco tackle, Darby. Dod¬ son fought it up in every game, and gives prom¬ ise of being Linfield’s best linesman. Tiffany, Halfback —In the Albany game “Tiff” proved to be one of the most shifty back- field men on the gridiron. He scored three touchdowns on long runs and another time ran for a gain of fifty yards, the longest run of the game. He was a sophomore and should be even better next year.

An excellent ball player, he was always in every play. He figured in all the games of the season except the last two, from which he was kept by injuries. Hostetler, Backfield —“Hos” was a senior and had three years of experience. He was one of the towers of defense on last year’s team, and he was a splendid defensive back this year. He also proved to be a heady signal caller. In the Albany game he proved to be a line bucker and good field runner when he scored two touch¬ downs. James, Halfback —“Cliff” was an ideal block¬ ing back. He didn’t come in for a lot of spec¬ tacular gains and a lot of praise, but he played mighty good defensive ball and ran good inter¬ ference in every game. Jenkins, Center —“John” was kept out on ac¬ count of injuries part of the season, but when he could come out he was always willing to do his share. He was a letterman and a junior and should prove to be a valuable asset next year. Page 75 mm OAK LEAVES 1931 Football Cyphers, Tackle —Though handicapped by his lack of weight, “John” was a good defensive tackle. He had the fighting spirit and was one of the most aggressive men on the squad. He charged right in all of the time he spent in a game. Jones, Right Guard —“Vic” played bang-up ball throughout the season. He was a senior and a two year letter man. He stood out in line play in every game of the season, and made a splen¬ did field captain. He was named on the second all conference team. He stopped play after play behind the line in the Pacific University fracas, and never quit until the final whistle blew. Sargent, Halfback —“George” had a lot of bad luck this season. Injuries kept him from do¬ ing all that he would have otherwise have been able to do. “Sarge” had plenty of ability and with better luck should be an outstanding per¬ former next year. Tichenor, End —“Tich” was one of those fight¬ ing Irishmen who fight harder ;when things look bad than when they look favorable. When he was in a game, he fought from the time he went on the field until he came off. Druse, End —“Bob” played his second year of football for Linfield this year. He was serious¬ ly injured in the game with the College of Puget Sound, hut until then he had played exceptional ball. This injury kept him out for the rest of the season. Page 76 OAK LEAVES 1931 Football Christensen, Backfield —“Chris” was only a freshman, but he proved to be one of the best punters in the conference. He pulled the team out of numerous holes with that mighty toe of his. He also proved to be a splendid safety man and a consistent ground gainer. He was given honorable mention on the ail-conference team. Sneeden, Tackle —-“Vin” was a two year letter man and a hard man to take out of the line. Like most linemen he didn’t come in for a lot of pub¬ licity, but he was always willing and anxious to do his best for the honor of the team. Ewing, Halfback —“Ewing” was another of Linfield’s freshmen who did things for his Alma Mater. Verle scored the first touchdown of the season at Corvallis when the Oregon State re¬ serves squeezed out a 7 to 6 victory. He has ex¬ ceptional promise and should prove to be an out¬ standing athlete at Linfield. Cook, End —This was “Chet’s” third year, and in the game with Pacific University he surely showed the kind of stuff from which he was made. He smashed into every end run that came his way and blocked several kicks. Hollinshead, Backfield —“Holly” was playing regularly in the backfield until he developed a charley-horse that held him out for the rest of the season. He is a letterman of last year, and when next season finds him in “togs” again, he should be ready to take his regular place. Page 77 OAK LEAVES 1931 Front row: Fuller, Hutchins, Tiffany, L.

Johnson, Hugg, Jenkins, Eckman, Sargent, James, Assistant Coach Robbins Football Squad Coach Lever had a squad of some thirty-three men turning out this sea¬ son. Twelve of these men were lettermen; there was a very likely looking bunch of former high school stars, also. Lever had good material, but he had a difficult job in working out a real fighting team that would function on the field, because the lettermen had never won a game while playing for Linfield, and had almost lost heart. But with the aid of Assistant Coach Robbins he put a fighting team on the field for every game. He inaugur¬ ated a new and better type of football at Linfield. While Linfield only won one game, it did not lose by such large scores as it did last year. The team seemed to improve with each game. The Wildcats held the Oregon Reserves to a 7 to 0 score in the first practice game of the season. They also lost to the Oregon State reserves, but only by one point. The score was 7 to 6. The game with P. U. was the first conference game of the season. The game seemed within Linfield’s hands once or twice, but fate seemed against the cardinal and purple; the game was lost by a 12 to 0 score. Idaho threw pass after pass to win by a score of 28 to 0. Willamette walked over the Wildcats for the first half on Armistice day, but the second half the Wild¬ cats came to and stopped what might have been a 70 to 0 score; they held the score to 48 to 0. Linfield lost another game to C. P. S. on a muddy, foggy field at Tacoma by a score of 12 to 0. Columbia was lucky to win at Portland by a score of 8 to 0. The game on Thanksgiving day with Al¬ bany was a fitting climax for the season as Linfield ran wild to win by a score of 32 to 6. Page 78 mam OAK LEAVES 1931 Dodson, Booth, Knox, Tichenor, Graves, Laughlin, Stewart, Assistant Coach Robbins Freshmen Basketball Upon investigation it was found that the Freshman class contained some very good basketball material. There was a large number of former high school stars in it. These youngsters were put under the care of Assistant Coach Robbins. Despite the fact that “Robbie” could not keep a permanent line-up on account of some of the frosh being used on the varsity squad, he put out a smooth working combination that won a large majority of their games. They lost only two collegiate games and these were against Wil¬ lamette. They trimmed the much touted Mac Hi team by a score of 21 to 16 in a charity game played in the high school gymnasium on January 23. The Rooks displayed their best form in this game and proved easy winners. The Willamina high school later proved to be the undoing of the Rooks, for they were a little off form and had lost a stellar player when Ewing left at the end of the first semester. Numerous other high schools about the country such as Amity, Gaston, Sheridan and Carlton met defeat at the hands of the Rooks, who later downed the Willamina outfit. The Freshman team was used as the nucleus of the second team that beat the second strings of Monmouth Normal and Pacific University. On the shoulders of the Frosh also rested the responsibility of giving the first string practice. It was through their efforts that the varsity was able to make such marked improvement during the season. A large share of the credit for the success of the Freshman team should go to their coach, Oril Robbins. “Robbie” is a former 0. S. C. football star, and he has also played some basketball. “Robbie” gained the respect and admiration of all his understudies through his athletic ability and he proved to be a very efficient coach. Page 79 OAK LEAVES 1931 Basketball Sargent —“George played his second year with Linfield this year. The two senior veterans and the flashy Eckman made it rather difficult to put in much time at guard, but when George was in the game he was in for the sole purpose of playing his very, best until the last whistle blew. Next year George should see a lot of service. Agee —“Hump” played his third and last year for Linfield this season. He is a sturdy veteran of many fracases. He proved to be a splendid defense man who could be relied upon to add a few counters when things began to look black. He made a splendid field general, too. Hump played all of his time at guard. Di • use —“Bob” was that elongated center who could cover more ground with one step than most players can with two. He played center and was a veteran of one year. In his freshman year he gained a berth on the second all-confer¬ ence team. Bob could be relied upon for the tip-off in most every game and he played a bril¬ liant game throughout the season. Cook —“Chet played his third year of bas¬ ketball on the Wildcat squad under Coach Lever this year. His time on the floor was spent as forward. He was a fast man on the floor and he could always be relied on to do his best for the team. Page 80 wmmmmmmm mmmmmmtm i OAK LEAVES 1931 Basketball Hollinshead —“Holly” was a forward, junior, high point man, and a veteran of two years. For two years he has been high point man on the squad. He is not only a splend id shot but is also a good defensive player on the first line. In the Idaho game Holly was quite successful in taking the ball away from their players as they dribbled down the floor and taking it back to Linfield’s territory. Eckman —-“Mutt” was a veteran of last year and a wonderful ball player. He was shifted to guard this year from the forward position, and he proved to be even more effective from that place. In every game he could make opponents’ hearts sink by the long shots he sank in the bas¬ ket. He was runner-up for points, a clever pas¬ ser, and a man who could he relied on to play sparkling ball in every game. Hostetler —As a guard “Bob” played his last year for Linfield, and played (it well, too. He was a very difficult man to get around on the defensive, and very aggressive on the offense as well. Bob never resorted to “dirty” basketball but played clean, hard ball all the time. Darby —“Wayne” played his second year at center this year, and gained a very enviable hon¬ or. He was named center on the first all-north¬ west conference team. In the second game with Willamette it was he who led the big rally and piled up 14 scores in the second half to make the final score a rather modest one of 46 to 36 in favor of Willamette. Page 81 OAK LEAVES 1931 Baseball 1930 Cameron, Catcher —“Og” was a freshman from Mac Hi, but he could handle the team pret¬ ty well from behind the bat. It didn’t take him long to size up the weaknesses of the batters either. He batted fair and had a good “peg” to second. Todd, Pitcher —“Roy” was a senior and had done considerable pitching for Linfield. Al¬ though he didn’t pitch much this year, his bat¬ ting was so valuable that he played in ' most ev¬ ery game. When he didn’t pitch he played right field. He batted about .390 and was the heav¬ iest hitter on the team. Weaver, Third Baseman —“Bob” was a senior and while he was no star with the bat, he made up for it with good fielding. He handled the hot ones that came around third brilliantly. Hugg, Pitcher —“Hugg” was a sophomore and a one year letter man. He pitched the previous year for Linfield, and was a steady man to have in the box this year, too. He was an exceptional batter for a pitcher and alternated at right field with Todd. Hostetler, Left Fielder —“Hos” had played two years of baseball for Linfield before this season, but this one seemed to be his best. He was a splendid fielder and batted a percentage of .428 to lead the entire squad. Sielk placed him on his all-conference team. Page 82 ■■■■■ 1931 OAK L EAVES Baseball 1930 Renne, First Baseman — This was Captain Renne’s fourth year of baseball at Linfield. He was a good steady first sacker and batted a per¬ centage of .413 for the entire year, the second best percentage on the team. “Dad’s” place will be hard to fill next year. Sielk placed him on his all-conference team. Bride, Shortstop —“Cliff” was a freshman from Yamhill, and as shortstop he made a fine mate for Eckman. His “peg” to first was all that one could wish for and he could sneak over and cov¬ er second nicely when it was necessary. Hutchins, Pitcher —Although a junior, this was “Hutch’s” first year with Linfield, for he trans¬ ferred from Pacific College the year before. He proved to be one of the most valuable men on the team. He carried the burden of the pitch¬ ing and handled it well, too. Gwin, Center Fielder —“Howie” played his third year of ball at center field for Linfield this year. He was lead-off man on the batting line¬ up and had an average of .390. He was a clever base runner and a splendid fielder. Eckman, Second Baseman — “Mutt” was a freshman, but he played stellar ball. He is a three year letter man from Mac Hi and showed exceptional promise. The manner in which he played the keystone sack would please any coach. Page S3 OAK LEAVES 1931 Track 1930 Weeks —“George” was a sophomore and a two-miler. He consistently placed in the two- mile run, and often led the pack. Compton and Kingsley were the other two of Linfield’s two- milers. The latter also had the hurdles as his specialty. Gardiner —“Punk” was a freshman, but he was an all round track man. He was fair at most any of the events, but the mile and half-mile were his specialties. He was a consistent winner in both of these events, and usually placed in the pole-vault and javelin throw. Sargent —“Sarge” was the outstanding man on the Wildcat track team, although he was only a freshman. He was undefeated last year in the high jump and placed first at the Northwest Con¬ ference meet at Walla Walla. Cyphers —This was John’s first year on the Wildcat track squad, but he proved to be a good half-miler. He came in first against Albany and placed quite consistently through the season. He is a promising track man to say the least. Hewitt also earned his letter by placing quite consistently in the sprints. Pierson —“Harv” was a senior and a veteran of three years. He could be relied upon to place in the shot-put and he hurled the discus past most of them, too. He was a fine sportsman and will be missed this year. Todd was another sen¬ ior who made his letter in track with the weights. He also threw the javelin. Page S4 OAK LEAVES 1931 Tennis 1930 McGillivray —Helen was a junior and had two years of experience. She won out in the Linfield girls’ tournament, thus winning first place on the team. She played in the girls dou¬ bles when there was an exceptionally hard match and always played in the mixed doubles as Wakeman’s partner. Gillarn —1931 was Gillam’s first year with Linfield, but he proved to be a stellar player and won most of his matches. With Wakeman he attended the conference tournament at Taco¬ ma, but they were defeated by Whitman, the con¬ ference champions. Taylor —Loreine was a freshman but gave plenty of promise of being an outstanding play¬ er. She played and won several singles match¬ es and also played doubles, winning several matches with Rattey. Cook —Chet was the third man on the team, and it was his second year of play for Linfield. Chet was a good player and when he was in a game it was his sole purpose to win. Rattey —Florence was a junior and had two years of experience too. She was the only one to win from Willamette and did some good play¬ ing as Taylor’s partner in the doubles. Wakeman —This was Ed’s fourth year of ten¬ nis at Linfield, and he will surely be missed. Al¬ though he lost to Gillarn in a play-off for first place on the squad, he was a brilliant player, and a fine sportsman. He played the hardest match that Linfield perhaps has ever played when he won a twenty-eight game match from Pacific.

More girls have participated in the different sports and more pep and enthusiasm have been shown than ever before. Indeed, this year has surely been a worthwhile one for sports. Credit goes to Mrs. Friede Close McCoy, Women’s Physical Education di¬ rector, for her untiring interest in the supervision of sports; to Marjory Hewitt as an efficient business manager, and to the L. C. Club, the women’s athletic club, for the promotion of sports and good sportsmanship. The intramural system of women’s sports includes soccer, volleyball, basketball, baseball, tennis, squash and horseshoes. In the tournament games for the different sports the freshmen proved themselves victors in the soccer games; the sophomores won in volleyball, and the combination junior-senior team was champion in basketball. In these tournaments each team met each other team once before the winner was decided upon. The other tournaments to determine the champions have not yet been played off. OAK LEAVES 1931 Junior-Senior Basketball Team Front row: Hewitt, Nissen, McGillivray, Beswich, Selberg Second row: Bennett, Morford, Rattey, Douglass, Annie George A representative from each group participating in athletics had a sports booster this year. These people made announcements concerning practices and were general managers for their teams. Manila Light has been the freshmen class sports booster for the year and she has aided greatly in arousing pep among the rookesses in athletics. Bonnie Davidson has been the sophomore booster and she has proved her¬ self efficient in her duties. Lucile Beswick as upper class booster has kept the junior and senior women interested and enthusiastic. The women’s new athletic field has proved an asset in sports during the year. It has been used in soccer and baseball seasons and is a decided improvement over the old field. On the whole, women’s athletics have progressed during the last few years and hold an important place in the campus activities for women. A great deal of the success is due to the intramural system of class games which has as its aim “An activity for every girl and a girl in every activitv.” Page 87 ORGANIZATIONS The Walls of Babylon t ’ T ’ T HE PATHOS and the happiness and all the unfathomable mystery of countless generations of human life shroud the ruins of the Walls of Babylon, this next of the wonders of the an¬ cient world. Today they bask in the sunny warmth of the Eu¬ phrates Valley dreaming of their forgotten splendor. C|, Babylon, “Gate of God,” even in the days when the famous walls were built, was an old, old city, so ancient, in fact, that Hebrew tradition holds that it was the oldest of all cities. Many walls had surrounded the city and had crumbled away or been destroyed but in 605 Nebuchadnezzar ascended the throne of Babylon and began the construction of the most beautiful, the thickest, the strongest, the loftiest, and the most intricate walls that ever protected an ancient city. It was a fortification which no ancient enemy was ever able to take ex cept by strategy. C|, Nebuchadnezzar, who built the walls, was probably the greatest builder the world has ever seen. There is scarcely one of the thousands of ruin mounds in Babylonia which does not contain bricks stamped with his in¬ scription. He rebuilt temples and city walls, spanned rivers with bridges, and tradition says that to please his foreign wife he built the famous hanging gardens. His palace in Babylon was one of the world’s largest buildings, but the whole ancient world mar¬ velled at the magnitude, beauty, and strength of the walls with which he surrounded his palace and city. Nor were they merely unadorned fortifications, for the outer gates were of brass, guard¬ ed by bronze bulls and serpents, and the inner gateways leading to the palace were encased with beautiful blue glazed bricks, set with large relief figures in white and blue, and yellow and black. These walls were thrown down and dismantled when the city was taken by Xerxes and after the passing of years the “Gate of God” was buried beneath the shifting desert sands, until all that remains are “mounds and ruins and legends.” CAMPUS CLUBS OAK LEAVES 1931 Front row: Sargent, Darby, Dodson, Jones, Tichenor, Cook, Hugg Second row: Gillam, Dailey, Compton, Jenkins, James, Hutchins, Bride Third row: H.

It is the purpose of this organization to support and promote clean athletics at Linfield, with the hope that interest and skill obtained will continue after college days are over. The Cardinal “L” Club during the past year attempted to assist the sophomore class in enforcing the tradition of the wearing of the green by unruly freshmen. When the use of the paddle failed other means were resorted to.

A. has helped out very ma¬ terially with the social life of the students through the Stag and the Y. M.- Y. W. formal. Linfield is fortunate this year in being able to have on the campus this spring a “ ' Young men’s full time Christian service conference,” brought here by this organization. Development of Christian leadership, promotion of a closer fellowship among college and faculty men, bigger and better social functions is the goal set for the coming year. The incoming cabinet hopes to make the work of the year of a perma¬ nently helpful nature as well as an inspiration for the present. With the interest increasing the coming year promises much in the de¬ velopment of Christian manhood and leadership in our college.

The Young Women’s Christian Association during the past year has aimed to help each woman on the campus realize a full and creative life. The groups into which the organization is divided (have in turn presented thought-stimulating meetings, thus fulfilling the purpose of directing the women in a “growing knowledge of God.” The interests of the association have been local, national, and interna¬ tional in scope. Special projects successfully undertaken during the year include: Posture week, poetry bulletin board, Christmas vespers, Christ¬ mas bazaar, and promotion of world fellowship. The social program has consisted of such affairs as the Freshmen Girls’ Tea, “Hen Party,” Y. M. and Y. W. reception, and the Big and Little Sister Party.

As the club was started primarily for those interested in creative writing, no other requirement is necessary for membership. The work of the club is carried on through two commissions, journal¬ ism under the leadership of Raemer Schreiber, and literary, Frances Schick. During the past year the club has voted to hold contests annually in short story and humorous essay writing. These have received considerable at tention on the campus and will undoubtedly prove to be profitable under¬ takings. Edith May Jenks has been president the past year.

Page 118 THE SEVENTH WONDER The Pyramid of Khufu t t t E TCHED against the intense blue of the cloudless Egyptian sky, rearing its lofty height four hundred and eighty-one feet above the burning sands at its base, stands the pyramid of Khufu, a wonder of the ancient world. It was erected by an Egyp¬ tian monarch to be his eternal resting place. It is not strange that the tomb of a man should be among the world’s marvels, for man has ever been concerned with the fate of his soul, and the Egyptian believed that he had not one soul, but five. To care for these five souls all his life long gave him trouble enough; to pro¬ vide for them during the long sleep in the tomb was the one great purpose of his life. ([ So when Khufu, who lived in the ages of the past, at least five thousand years ago, was proclaimed king of Egypt, he immediately began the construction of an edif ice that would be the fitting abode of the body of a royal ruler, awaiting in sleep the return of his five souls. So stupendous was the un¬ dertaking that modern engineers have estimated that with mod¬ ern machinery it would require one thousand men working for one hundred years to erect the edifice. One historian tells us that one million dollars was spent for radishes, onions and garlic alone consumed by the laborers. So cruelly were the people driven by Khufu that he has been known in history as “the odious king.” It is even doubtful if after his death his body was ever placed in the tomb his vanity had caused to be erected. C|, Thirteen acres are covered by the mass of red granite and limestone, placed block upon block, each stone of the two million, three hundred thou¬ sand used weighing two to three tons. The interior is honey¬ combed with narrow, intricate, winding passage-ways, a labyrinth designed by Khufu to bewilder and confuse the grave robber whom he feared might remove the royal treasures from his tomb. For five thousand years the pyramid has stood, man’s defiance of the elements, a challenge to the imagination and a marvel to the world. The modern visitor to the pyramid can say with Heroditus that truly “it is the tomb of a king.” . •V ' .

Make it a habit to shout across the entire room to your partner the results of weighing a c. c. of Hydrosulphammonies, enunciating clearly so that he will not make a mistake. i ■ ‘ 1 $ A KIENLE MUSIC CO. f ❖ Pianos, Radios 1 DR.

Practice in emanating ' a tuneless whistle during the entire period. No person is considered a successful physicist or chemist or anything else unless he can whistle without noticeable impr ovement for the entire period. 3. Ask the professor or his assistant just any question that you care to. Don’t bother to look up any information for yourself. 4. Never bring pencil, pen, ruler, or paper to school with you. Borrow it from your neighbor. He will appreciate the opportunity of doing a ser¬ vice for you. If these little suggestions are carried out in the spirit that they are given, they are sure to make a success out of any student.—Raemer Schreiber in “Assorted Idiosyncrasies,” Linfield Review.

To whom it may concern: It is with great pleasure that I state that I have known of the development of Linfield College during the past seven or eight years. As chairman of the Commission on the Accrediting of Higher Institutions of the North¬ west Association of Secondary and Higher Schools, it was my pleasure to inspect the College with a view to ac¬ creditation. On my recommendation the College has been placed on the fully accredited list for which it is entirely worthy. During the past two years an unusu¬ ally fine college building has been completed. At the present time the College is doing excellent standard work. Dr. Leonard W. Riley who has been President of the College for the past twenty-five years is deserving of very great credit for the splendid development of Lin¬ field College. The institution owes much to his meri¬ torious and unstinted services. It will ever be a monu¬ ment to his foresight and wisdom in the development of a college which is a credit to the denomination support¬ ing it and to the state in which it is located.
