SAMUEL TYNDALE WILSON, PRESIDENT i (23) .. is DEAN JASPER CONVERSE BARNES « DEAN MARY ELLEN CALDWELL (24) The Centennial Forward Fund Campaign L the notable movements in the history of the College have been born of necessity. The great needs of the institution in these last years of its first century compel the undertak- ing of a campaign for the raising of additional endowment in order that the ever-increasing demands of a modern college education and of a growing family may be met. President Wilson, therefore, during the spring of 1916, planned and inaugurated the Centennial For- ward Fund of $325,000. The campaign is being actively and vigor- ously prosecuted. President Wilson is in the field, devoting his entire time and energy to the securing of friends and pledges, and his assist- ants at the home base are attending to many of the details incident to the great task. Although war clouds and economic crises are imminent, great en- couragement arises from the fact that already a large proportion of the total sought has been pledged. The General Education Board has granted $75,000 on condition that $225,000 additional be raised. Twenty-five thousand dollars has been subscribed toward the rebuilding of Carnegie Hall. Of this amount the Faculty subscribed $5,000, the remainder being pledged by the citizens of Maryville and Blount County. About $60,000 from other sources has been assured, and new friends, who will aid in the securing of the fund, are being providentially raised up. Y The year 1919 will be the Double Jubilee of the College, and we trust that God intends Maryville to go forward into her second century fortified with the new endowment and equipment that the Centennial Forward Fund of $325,000 is designed to provide.

' (29) 1916 f1 The Old Campground By the Creek AM writing the copy for this page of the Chilhoivean, which the editors have kindly put at my disposal, just after the publication of A Century of Maryville College, and just before the February Meetings of 191 7. It is natural, then, that its topic should be suggested by the approaching meet- ings. The first college February Meeting was held in 1877, just forty years ago. Be- fore that date the college did not have its separate meetings, but united with the church people of Maryville in special services that were usually held every year. Sometimes these were union meetings, but in the ante-bellum days they were usually camp-meetings that were held by the New Providence Church. It is especially of these old Mary- ville camp-meetings that this page would make brief mention. Early in Dr. Anderson ' s pastorate in Maryville — he began to preach here in 1811 — he conducted an annual camp-meeting, which came to be recognized as the principal event of the year in Blount County. It was a feast of tabernacles, to which the people came up by families, and during which they lived in camps and sheds that had been built for their use. The campground comprised the slope, then wooded, extending up the hill from Pistol Creek, from where a concrete bridge on the Knoxville pike now spans the stream. The pike now built from the creek to the Aluminum Plant transverses the old campground. The great camp-shed stood near where a store now stands, at the junction of the Knoxville and Aluminum Plant pikes. It is said that sometimes 2,500 or 3,000 people were gathered under or around the shed. At night the scene was illuminated by pitch- pine fires that were kept blazing on the earth-covered tops of square pens built at inter- vals around the shed. And here in his rude pulpit, amid these rustic and primitive and yet impressive surroundings. Dr. Anderson stood, with flashing eye and heart-stirring eloquence, preaching the glorious gospel of grace and service. And here his colleagues and the seminary and college boys — there were no girls in the institution in those days — and the officers and the members of the churches upheld his hands and helped to win the victory. Mrs. Myra Yearout, an aged lady who has just passed away, pointed out only a few months ago the quiet place up the creek bank where the women ' s daily prayer-meet- ing was held, and, in the opposite direction, the retired spot up the hillside where the men gathered daily during the camp-meeting for their intercessory prayer. In her expres- sive words, Those old woods were prayed all over, and were watered with (he tears of God ' s people. Dr. Anderson and his helpers and hearers are gone; the woods are cut away; the (30) 1916 camp-shed and its surrounding village of camps have disappeared; and even Dr. Ander- son ' s own farm just beyond is buried out of sight by the buildings of a great modern industry; but the good that was done on that holy ground has not been removed, for, like the word of God, it abideth forever. And in the beautiful churches of Maryville and in dear Voorhees Chapel on College Hall, the same old campground gospel is being preached and is still proving itself to be the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth. ' J 3 t , n (31) i9ia REV. JOSEPH M. BROADY The February Meetings, 1917 This year. Rev. Joseph M. Broady, pastor of the Fifth Avenue Pres- byterian Church in Birmingham, Alabama, conducted one of the most suc- cessful series of February Meetings ever held on College Hill. Seventy-one students were influenced to begin the Christian life, and over two hundred stu- dents re-consecrated their lives to their Master. ft 1916 A The Rebuilding of Carnegie Hall CARNEGIE HALL was destroyed by fire on April 12, 1916, at a time when plans were being made for the building of another dormitory of like capacity. Not only the College suffered great loss, but also the 125 boys rooming in the hall, who were left homeless, and some with no other possessions than the clothing on their backs. The loss was borne bravely with an indomitable spirit, and before the dying embers of the fire had become cold, all of the boys were being cared for either on the hill or in town, and plans were being made for the rebuilding of the hall. A campaign to raise a rebuilding fund, amounting to $25,000, was launched April 18. This cam- paign was first limited to the State of Tennessee and later to Blount County. On one day. May 22, the entire amount was pledged by the citizens of Maryville and Blount County. Meanwhile every effort was being put forth to get the work under way. On April 29 (when the above picture was taken) a special work day was observed by the students. Faculty, and Directors. The standing walls were torn down and the bricks cleaned by the men and boys; and refreshments were served by the girls. Although a regular picnic was made of the affair, a good start was made on the work toward rebuilding, and the great determination on the part of those directly connected with the College was made manifest. From that time work was continued until New Carnegie had been completed, in the latter part of December. The hall was opened January 2, 1917, and the boys moved into their new home. n J (33) i9ia QoWeqo. WaoAs a Um Tca V SOrvS -T 5i wMl l wlMI T-he Cori xo, n (34) College Department  ai6 .

Also, we feel justified in being proud of our splendid record in Prepdom. During the four years of struggle in that department the class marched steadily on, defying obstructions and overcom- ing discouragements, and holding fast to the purpose of reach- ing its goal. As our class has the honor of being the largest class ever to enter Maryville College, we are endeavoring to make the quality surpass the quantity. Among our members are athletes, musicians, orators, debaters, promising scientists, and preachers — material out of which may be developed men and women of great ability. But, no matter how different are our various potentialities and vocations, the class as a whole is marked by the illustrious char- acteristics of harmony and love — Amid usque ad aras. From the beginning of our college career we have been loyal to our Alma Mater. To preserve this spirit until the end of our lives, is the earnest desire of every member of the class. We stand for the four qualities of Maryville Spirit — a deep inter- est in humanity, thorough scholarship, manly religion, and un- selfish service.

Some of our members look forward hopefully with the expectation of continuing their pursuit of knowledge, and are planning to enter some college or university — very probably the College Department of Maryville. There are others, however, who will have to begin their race on life ' s highway without further training, but their success is assured if they go forth into the world with the same spirit of determination and persistency that has marked them as students. As a class our record has been a pleasing one. We have been well represented m every phase of student activity, and our members have been leaders rather than followers, and boosters rather than knockers. It is with sorrow that we leave behind us the days of our prepdom. but we realize that the future has in store for us greater opportunities, and that we must go forward in order to take advantage of them.

They met three of the leading universities of the South, and staged with them some of the most closely contested games of the season. The college teams with one exception went down in defeat before the well trained Orange and Garnet war- riors. The strong offence of the team was proved by their scoring in every game with but one exception. Accompanied by over three hundred loyal rooters, the team journeyed to Knoxville on October 7th, and met the University of Tennessee in the initial contest of the season. The game was bitterly fought throughout, the Highlanders holding the ball on Tennes- see ' s territory until the last quarter, when the heavier opponents pushed the pigskin over for three touchdowns. The final count was 32-6, with Tennessee on the long end. The following Saturday the team invaded the Tiger camp at Sewanee. Here again the Highlanders were pitted against a much heavier team, but their fighting spirit was in evidence during the entire game, especially in the third quarter, when a touchdown was scored by Captain Ensign. The final score was 68-7, with Maryville the proud possessor of the 7. The third game was also played on a foreign field. Having traveled up to Dan- ville, Ky., the Highlanders played the fighting aggregation of Center College on a field covered with mud. Maryville played a splendid defensive game, but the muddy field kept the offence from showing its true form. At the end of the final period the score remained the same as when the opening whistle blew — 0-0. On their home gridiron for the first time of the season, the Orange and Garnet faced the team from King College. The Highlanders played brilliantly, out-generaling the squad from Bristol in every respect. The final whistle found Maryville on top with the score 34-0. Then the last game away from home was played the next Saturday, when Tusculum was met and defeated, 20-0, at Greeneville, Tennessee. The following week Emory and Henry came down to Maryville from Virginia to test the prowess of the Highlanders. It was the game that decided the East Tennessee and Southwest Virginia championship. Maryville was victor, conquering the Orange and Blue to the tune of 27-0. The final and best game of the season was played with the Mississippi A. and M. squad, led by the mighty Chadwick, a former Maryville coach. It was a contest marked by the fierceness of the attack of the two teams. Both teams scored and kicked goals in the third quarter, making the count 7-7. Neither squad was able to shove the pig- skin across the line again and the score remained a tie at the end of the game. Coach Kiefer followed his plan of the year before in the development of the team, (112) ft !!! 21 making it stand out as a team and not as individual stars. The College owes a debt of gratitude to the team which upheld the honor and name of the institution so nobly, and a sense of deep appreciation to A. S. Kiefer, who fostered and developed the spirit of clean sportsmanship, which was evidenced in the team in every battle, and played a promi- nent part in making an enviable record.

But Coach Weisbecker started the prac- tice early, and by hard, persistent work on the part of the members of the squad, Maryville has this year been represented by one of the best teams in its history. This year the girls made new records by playing outside of the State for the first time and making the longest trip granted to a Maryville girls ' team. Moreover, the team ' s picture is to be placed for the first time in Spaulding ' s Official Guide as one of the best in the country. The best teams in the State and in Southeast Kentucky were played, Maryville win- ning from all with but one exception. The team showed remarkable development after adopting the one center-line rule, and the teamwork, which was already the basis of both the offence and defence, was so greatly improved that no doubt the team would not have lost a single game had they played under this rule the entire season. The season, while not developing remarkable individual players, was characterized by the best teamwork of any recent Maryville team. Maryville played seven games, win- ning five. In what was considered the championship game of the season, Maryville defeated the East Tennessee State Normal and sustained Maryville ' s former championship claims.

Teamwork was the feature of every game, while every man was specialist enough in his own department to call forth cheers and very favorable comments wherever the team appeared. Maryviile lost to only two teams during the season. One of these, the Asheville School, would have been easily defeated but for the fact that it was necessary to use several subs during the entire game. The m.ost notable victory of the year was over the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, the first Maryviile victory over Tennessee in many years. The last and most decisive contest of the three-game series with Tennessee was played at Maryviile, the Highlanders losing after a rough and snappy fight. This was considered the basketball classic of many seasons, as was evidenced by the attendance of more than eight hundred people to witness the game.

At the same time, the league has served to give an unusually large number of students, both men and ladies, an opportunity to play basketball once a week with an organized team, and to give the classes a chance to give vent to their class enthusiasm. The league was under the control of an executive committee, composed of two repre- sentatives from each of the four college classes. The officers and members of this com- mittee were: A. D. Bryson, ' 18, Chairman; M. B. Crum, ' 17; Annie Creswell, ' 17; Elinor Moseley, ' 18; H. B. Frater, ' 19; Ethel Burchfield, ' 19; Ocey Webb, ' 20; McLaughlin, ' 20. The season was divided into two parts, one of six weeks of preliminary games, in which Varsity players were not permitted to participatte ; and following this, a three-game series, known as the finals, in which Varsity players were permitted to play.

The baseball teams of the past have made splendid records, and have helped in placing Mary- ville in the front rank of college athletic teams. Because of the high stand- ing of Maryville it was not difficult for Manager Carver to arrange a good schedule for the 1916 season. A large number of men responded to the first cal l to practice to try out for positions on the team. Out of this number Coach Everett soon whipped into shape a very formidable gang of ball players, who were to go forth and win fourteen of the twenty-one hard games. The opening game with Young High, played on the home grounds, was lost by Maryville. No doubt the Highlanders had under-estimated the strength of their oppo- nents and had expected an easy victory. However, the defeat served as a warning against over-confidence and caused the team to work harder and mori consistently in practice. Between terms the Orange and Garnet journeyed down to Athens and defeated the Athens School in two games which were very interesting, although played on a muddy field. The next game was at Knoxville, where the Highlanders made a very creditable showing against the Philadelphia Athletics, although losing by a score of 8 to 2. The Maryville rooters were well pleased as the proud possessors of the 2. A few days later Johnson Bible College was easily defeated on the home grounds. The Highlanders soon left for a long trip into North Carolina and South Carolina, where they played ten hard games, one after the other, with the leading college teams in both States. The Orange and Garnet divided honors with Furman University and with the Asheville League in a two-game series with each. They were defeated by Catawba and by Erskine College in closely-contested games, and won from Weaver Col- lege, Davidson, Belmont College and Lenoir College. When the Highlanders returned to Maryville many of the boys found that all of their possessions had been burned in the Carnegie Hall fire. It is needless to say that they were greatly discouraged, for some of them were unable to remain in school. The team was nearly broken up at this time, and it looked for a while as if the remaining games would have to be cancelled, but some of the younger and less experienced men came out and practically built up a new team, which defeated the Knoxville School for the Deaf and Dumb, Emory and Henry College in two games, and Tusculum College. These brave lads failed to clean up the University of Tennessee squad, but they gave them two hard fights, one on the home grounds and one at Knoxville. Winning fourteen out of twenty-one games does not sound so well, but considering that it was an extra hard schedule and that many were played on a long, hard trip, it was not a bad record after all.

This year the number of candidates has been so great and the interest so manifest that track athletics has been placed on a more satisfactory and uniform basis, especially as regards the awarding of the Varsity track M. The schedule for the season includes four cross- country runs, two meets with Tusculum, a meet for prep students in the Annual Preparatory School Ath- letics Carnival at Knoxville, and possibly a meet with the University of Tennessee. n (124) S ' fi - Tennis, 1916 and 1917 ]|HE tennis team for the season of 1916 was expected to be rather mediocre, for the veteran players of the previous year had not returned to school ; but the three men who won places on the team soon proved that this expectation was ungrounded. Thirty contestants entered the student tournament, and the three winners were Charles Silsby, playing the match in singles; and Frank Cross and Oscar Robinson, playing the match in doubles. These men, working hard all season, found an easy victory over their only opponents, Carson and Newman College. Every contest was won by Maryville, the scores in singles being 7 to 5, 6 to 0, and 6 to 3; the scores in doubles being 6 to 4, 6 to 2, and 6 to 1 . The girls ' team. Misses Arda Martin and Lois Wilson, also played through a vic- torious season and proved to be the best that ever played on the Maryville courts. For the 1917 season a number of tournaments have been arranged with Carson and Newman, Tusculum, and Emory and Henry Colleges. A meet with the University of Tennessee may also be arranged. New courts have been built and the old ones repaired, and other preparations have been made for raising the standard of tennis. With an unusually large number of players out, the season promises even greater success than ever before. H (125) i9ia I ° ran in Scenes.

Out of this meet- ing grew the Forensic League, which has full control of all intercol- legiate debates so long as the said council exists. The council is complete and efficient in its organization. Its officers consist of a President, a Vice-President, a Secretary and Treasurer, and a Faculty Representative. Thus the interests of both the student body and the faculty are properly represented. The success of any college activity depends primarily upon the efficiency and effectiveness of its organization. Consequently debating in Maryville College has been on the decline during the past few years on account of the lack of a debating organization. The purpose of this council is not merely to enlist those men who aspire to a place on one of the teams, but to enlist all men who are interested in debating activities and who desire to help boost literary work. By stimulating a deep inter- est among the students in debating, and by effecting a response to this interest, we may reasonably expect to raise the standard of debate to a plane that is worthy of the dignity that Maryville College holds among the colleges and universities in this section of the country. The arrangements for the debates of 1916-1917 have been completed. Con- tests have been !ecured with three of the strongest institutions in this par! of the coun- try. A dual debate has been arranged with Tusculum College, Maryville ' s oldest rival, in both literary and athletic contests. In addition to this dual debate, a tri- angular debate has been secured with the University of Tennessee, and with Emory and Henry College. Each of the two latter institutions has a reputable Law School, and should have excellent material from which to select debating teams. Thus it is evident that the debating schedule for the year is a hard one, and it challenges the very best that Maryville can put out. When we consider how faithfully and conscientiously the debaters are prepar- ing for the coming contests, we may confidently await victories which will add more laurels to the number already won by our college.

She has increased her membership annually until she has now become a strong society, ranking among the foremost girls ' lit- erary societies of the South. Notwithstanding the fact that the society was organized principally for literary work, social activities have not been neglected. The reception at the beginning of the year was well attended, and was enjoyed by all. The same is true of the reception given at the first of the winter term. The social atmosphere is one of true friendship. Our society has been successful in the past, but we are not entirely satisfied.

About half a hundred members have been added to our ranks dur- ing the present college year. When seeking to increase our member- ship, we aim not so much at numbers as at quality. Viewed from this standpoint the present year has been a success. We would not overlook the part which innocent refreshing social pleasures should play in the life of the college man. Indeed, is not the most obvious and plausible interpretation of our emblem — an owl perched on a crescent moon — that which declares it to stand for dis- creet moonshine, the form of recreation ever preferred by the true Athenian? The faculty, approving all factors essential to the develop- ment of the young lives entrusted to their care, have given their sanc- tion to moonshine by decreeing that we may twice annually hold a joint session with our sister society, the Bainonian. The joint sessions this year have been entered into whole-heartedly by both societies, and have proved a source not only of instruction and entertainment, but also of inspiration. As the future can be foretold only by the past and the present, we confidently expect the Athenian Literary Society to do well its part in developing the highest type of Christian manhood in days to come. ft (149) 1918 n 19I6 Alpha Sigma ]INCE the advent of the Alpha Sigma Literary Society on the hill it has played no small part in college activities. Its members have always been found at the front. Many men who are now filling important positions in our coun- try have received very valuable training in our hall. From year to year the Alpha Sigma has been sending forth men prepared to cope with the problems of the world. Our record is an enviable one; but our pride is not entirely in the past. Our society work this year has been very commendable in every respect. Fraternity and literary attainment are the two constituent ele- ments of the Alpha Sigma spirit. On Friday, December 8th, we presented our annual Midwmter with a decided success. The development of American literature was traced from colonial days to modern times, showing a continued growth de- spite the fact that modern America is overcrowded by the evils of com- mercialism. Such literary celebrities as Irving, Poe, Longfellow, Emer- son, Lowell, Mark Twain, William Dean Howells, and others were impersonated as giving their most characteristic productions. The ex- cellent way in which Longfellow ' s Departure of Hiawatha was pre- sented will linger with the audience for many years. The careful selec- tion of parts and the successful rendering of the same bear testimony of the ability and efficiency of Alpha Sigmas. y The Highland Echo, the college weekly, has been admirably edited Y and managed by two Alpha Sigmas. The majority of the intercollegiate debaters this year have received valuable experience in our hall. A similar statement may be made of the leaders in other student organiza- tions and activities — the Y. M. C. A., the Law Club, and the ath- letic teams. With our record it is with neither false nor small pride that we view the future, knowing full well that the Alpha Sigmas will always play their parts well. (152) (153) nnz tu Young Men ' s Christian Association IHE Maryville College Y. M. C. A. has celebrated its ' j fortieth birthday. Ever since its conception on March 2, |l 1877, there has been a power added to the life of Mary- iif ville College which has meani much to all interested or concerned in the development of the school life. On Sunday, February 25, 1917, the Y. M. C. A. observed Founder ' s Day, with two of the founders present. Rev. John Silsby, now a missionary to China, and President S. T. Wilson, both of whom were charter members of the association in Maryville, made speeches telling of the beginning and early years of the Y. M. C. A. The Y. M. C. A. has had a most prosperous year in every way. The financial condition is as good as it has ever been, and the deep feel- ing of spirituality shown in every meeting is proof evident that it is a Christian association. The devotional meetings, which are conducted every Sunday after- noon, the mission and Bible study classes every Sunday morning, and various church services conducted through the Extension Committee; are all of great service to the student body and to the city. From the Y. M. C. A. have gone forth many mighty carriers of the Gospel to foreign shores. Fred Hope, a Maryville Y. M. C. A. missionary to Africa, is at present in the Kamerun district, over which the German and the Eng- lish troops have fought so hard and so long. A Lyceum Course is conducted by the Y. M. C. A. every year, thus bringing the college such entertainment as would otherwise be impossible. Through the efforts of the Lyceum Committee the course offered for next year will be larger and better than any yet presented in Maryville. The work of the Y. M. C. A. goes on from year to year, striving as opportunity offers to bring men to Christ, and to prese nt a Gospel for young men. The measure of the association may be taken by the num- ber of men who are spiritually quickened through its power, and by such a measure the Maryville College Y. M. C. A. stands highest. (155) 1916 Y. W. C. A. N September 16, 1916, the Y. W. C. A. gave a camp-fire picnic in honor of the new girls. Marshmallovvs were toasted and games played. Mrs. F. L. Proffit gave a splendid talk on What the Y. W. C. A. Has Meant to Me. The first public event of the year was an entertainment given by Miss Irene Bewley for the benefit of the association. The program was very interesting. Last fall the association gave twenty-five dollars to the Centennial Forward Fund. Miss Alice Brown, Student Secretary of the South Central Field, was on the hill December 9-13. She addressed the girls, led Chapel services and Prayer Meetmg, and conferred with committees. Her work was a source of inspiration to all of the girls. The Y. W. C. A., being anxious to have a share in the work for the better- ment of the prison camps of Europe, contributed a small sum for this purpose. The Expression Department, under the direction of Miss Buxton, gave The Birds ' Christmas Carol for the benefit of the Y. W. C. A. The play was the best of the year and was thoroughly enjoyed by a large audience. For the first time, it was recently decided by the South Central Field Com- mittee that one girl be chosen as an annual member from the various college and university associations to represent them in the National Association, and to help plan its work. The annual member to represent the University of Tennessee, the East Tennessee State Normal, and Maryville College is Miss Franke Sheddan, chosen from our association because it is the oldest. Nine of our girls were at the Blue Ridge Conference last spring, six delegates and three workers. They were greatly benefited by their experiences there. They received inspiration for broadening the work of our Y. W. C. A., and brought back to us many ideas which have proved helpful. While at Blue Ridge the girls became interested in a family of mountain peo- ple, the Sneeds. Various organizations took different members of the family as special charges. Our association is caring for Elizabeth, who is about six years old. We supplied her with a complete outfit of winter clothing, and intend to aid her more. (157) jliMf • p gJT Bf - [ - W .

The purpose of the Association is to organize its members into a united body in order to more ably pursue .ts Christian activities in the College and in the surrounding community. The present year has been a banner one in the history of the Association. It was begun in a glorious manner by a banquet, an unprecedented occasion in its history. Under the supervision of the Association, the mission work, carried on in the surroundmg community, has assumed such proportions f I that a new mission home has been planned and work is under way. Our semi-monthly meetings have also been a source of inspiration and instruction to all of our members. Every denomination is represented in the Association, and the practical opportunities afforded to every member make it a helpful and congenial home for every prospective minister. (159) 2ir Student Volunteer Band V ' It is my purpose, if Cod pennil, to become a foreign missionary. E, a band of nineteen young people, having considered the Master ' s call to ' r- m service, declare this to be our life purpose. Although nineteen may seem a M ™ number, our membership has been increased by eleven since the begin- ning of the school year. Not alone in members have we made progress, but we have enlarged our deputation work through the Extension Committee. We are striving to broaden out, and this year we have succeeded in bringing the work and the need before a much larger number of people than heretofore. It is true that we have not accomplished all that we anticipated, but we are laying broad plans for the future, and are hoping to do much in the days that are to follow. In our weekly meetings the following books have been studied alternately: ' The Decisive Hour of Christian Missions, by John R. Mott, and Missionary Preparation, put out by the Student Volunteer Movement. These have proved to be very interest- ing, as well as helpful. Other sources of inspiration have been the religious workers and the returned mis- sionaries whom we have had with us. Among these are Mrs. L. B. Tedford, of Kodoli, India; Dr. and Mrs. John Silsby, of Shanghai, China; Miss Alice Brown, Student Secre- tary of the Y. W. C. A. ; and Dr. Frazier, co-worker with Fred Hope in Elat, Africa. They not only presented to us the necessity of a thorough preparation, and pointed out some of the many needs of the world, but they also told us of the joy and satisfaction that come to those in the service of the Saviour. We cannot help being proud that we have even so small a share in this world-wide movement. Will you not join us, so that Maryville may have a greater share in bringing about the world motto: The evangelization of the world in this generation ? Officers Frances Akerstrom President Homer B.

Don ' t complain at the feed — You get all you really need. If for mail you wait a week — Smile, be patient, and be meek! At the movies don ' t be seen — They show wicked things on the screen. During study hours quiet be — Miss Marshall wants to sleep, you see. Be dignified when to town you walk — The men down there are bound to talk. To Church and Sabbath School do go- It helps your reputation so. Girls, be modest in your dress — Then the boys will stare much less. Be respectful ; grateful, too — Remember what is done for you!
