He spent his boyhood days there, later attending the Missouri School of Mines, and graduating in 1882 with the degree of Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering. He fol- lowed engineering until 1893, and then took up journalism, becoming editor of the Carrolton Democrat and remaining as such until 1914. In 1912 he was elected Lieutenant Governor of the State of Missouri, in which capacity he will serve until 1917. William R. Painter is a man we honor and respect. His heart is always with his Alma Mater, and his works are a source of pride and satisfac- tion to her.

These circumstances are brought about by a body of which every man of us is a part. Thus the “Rollamo of 1914” is before you as your book and your record of the year. Take it as you will. Our endeavors in connection with this book have been a source of pleasure, pride and profit to us. We have given to it freely and un- reservedly of whatever talents we may possess. And if this work recalls the year of 1914 to you in a true and faithful manner, we can ask no more. 1 - 2kl Hfcl jftOLLAMO JjRSam 1 II . • - m m ill THL flfiOLLAMO I ■ I V:S rH LL AIVIQ . -ZI BOARD OF CURATORS.

Leon Ellis Garrett was born October 31, 1872, in Camp Point, Illinois. In 1881 he moved with his parents to Mary- ville, Missouri, where he attended the public schools and later the Maryville Seminary, from which he graduated in 1894. He then taught school until the fall of 1898, when he entered the Missouri School of Mines. He graduated in 1901 with the degree of Bachelor of Science, and, as the above record shows, has been connected with the same institution since that time. His record as a member of our faculty is an enviable one, and his popularity and our respect for him are both well merited. To him goes a very large portion of the credit for the new life and prosperity which M.S.M. now enjoys.

LAMCYtHl ' —31 — rl IfsHN W 51 rRF ' OLOMQj I ' HE SENIOR CLASS OF 1914 Each succeeding Senior Class leaves behind it something which has its effect on the school and the student body. This something is manifested in the trend of the school itself toward better or worse, and is reflected in no small measure in the customs, life, and spirit, and general attitude which is evidenced in each class and throughout the school as a whole. So it is only natural to assume that the out- going body of Seniors has likewise played its part and left its imprint. It is not always an easy task to depict just exactly what parts and what imprints are attributable to each class. The resultant of student life is made-up with each of the four classes as a component. I he resultant is definite and easily discerned, while the components have many qualities which are common to each, although all of these qualities are not always in the same direction. However we feel that we can lay claim to one or two qualities as being the ones for which we have been striving most. We have tried to be men. Since the days of the “Original Fresh- man Possum Hunt ' the attitude of the class as a whole has been Stick Together ’ and “Do Things.” Our record wi 11 stand for itself to demonstrate our ability to do things, and we ourselves know best ol our ability to stick together — we have stood by our class, every man of us. No doubt we have made mistakes, but we have tried to be fair and honest, and we have had the courage of our convictions. If we have always shown our progressivism, our loyalty, our fairness, our honesty, and our courage, who can deny but that we have left our imprint? Yet, as has so often been said, and just as all the rest of them before us have done, we are now going “out into the world.” But believe me, that saying has a somewhat different meaning now from what it has heretofore, for it now applies to us. We can realize now the feelings that all the other fellows have had when they have left behind them the lives and associations and endeavors which were so dear to them. You Freshmen get the idea, and enjoy to the fullest the next few years of school life before you, and get the most out of them, lor w T e all certainly realize the value of such advice now. Yes we are going— but we are going to take with us some of the best memories any fellows ever had. They are of the best part of our lives, and they concern everybody and everything in connection with this school. And in addition we will take with us all those qualities which will make us Right— and every single man of us will Make Good— for our Alma Mater turns out Men, k% J M THE j foUL LAIVR T MIGUEL LEON CEPEDA.

He did the Spanish fandango, and insisted that his straw hat was “isolated” instead of “insulated.” Though things come slowly to him, he is like the fabled tortoise, and is liable to pass some of the faster men in the long run.

Besides having at- tempted to annihilate the man who “sassed” Garrett at the St. Louis University game in 1912, he has also tried on various occasions to organize and perfect the Mining Association. He dislikes having his accuracy with the slide rule questioned, and really doesn’t care to be called a “good guesser” in Electrical Machinery. As a photographer he has long since graduated from the amateur class, and his photos of school events will bring back fond memories to all of us in after years. L-. .ft I ;• !

He is usually right when he makes a statement. Downy also belongs to the “Married Man’s club of the school, and Downing, Jr., bids fair to follow in Dad ' s footsteps, and be a famous Mining Engineer.

Goldy” is a man of many schools and many accomplishments, and the better you know him the better you realize his abilities. He and Finagin were the “Guns” in Electrical Machinery, but he is also a “shark” in everything else. In his hands the slide rule can do anything but lie down and roll over, and he says he is confident he can make it do this with a little practice. CLYDE WILLIS HALL. Pleasanton, Kansas.

He loves the dear old State, but says “salt mining” is not his line. He is not “afraid to come home in the dark,” and thinks nothing of walking a couple of miles if there is a pretty girl at the other end. If Baron Mun- chausen were alive he would certainly have to look to his laurels, for Bill has the ability to put them over with the most innocent and serious countenance. - 42 - SdL Jggg THE L j OLLAM Q HOWARD GOVE HALSEY.

His ancestors came from Penryddlecyn, which accounts for his slow and easy-going ways. We believe him to be the possessor of more “M’s” than any man that has ever graduated from M.S.M., and he deserves them all. Ole refuses to be “kidded” and is strictly “non-partisan.” He is of ex- emplary habits, and is the sort we like to have with us. ROY NICOLL McBRIDE. Salesville, Ohio. Mining Engineering.

His smile is a thing of beauty and a joy forever. He is a lover of merry anecdotes, and has an inexhaustible fund of clever tales himself. He is famous for his deep-seated love for Calculus. — 45 — - ry wa . -? r.Llri 3b 5S1 THL jfcOLLAMO FREDERICK GALLOWAY MOSES. Kansas City, Missouri. Mining Engineering. Pi Kappa Alpha.

He is the only man who has ever equaled the “Czar’s” hirsute adorn- ment, and according to some (those partial to Titian Red) he has even surpassed it. He is famous for the “Transportion Company” which he and Beeghly organized, and for the judg- ment he displayed in dropping Electrical Machinery at the end of the first semester. His researches into the art of Oil Flotation, while not exactly agreeable to “Doc” Thorn - berry, are sure to be productive of valuable results. We wish him the best of success.. - 47 — • M p •£ ,v; •••- ,t ■ j QLLAMTJ ENOCH RAY NEEDLES. Kansas City, Missouri. Civil Engineering. Pi Kappa Alpha. Tau Bela Pi. Quo Vadis. Rollamo Board— 4.

He is Laborero de Minas y Beneficiada de Metals, 1909, from L’Escuela de Minas de la Universidad de Potosi, Bolivia. He entered here as a Sophomore from Columbia. He was El Captain del Association Football y Gym. Team at Potosi. “Robby” was protector of Cepeda on the Junior Trip.

He will long be remembered for his impersonation of St. Pat, our Patron Saint, and the introduction of the wild and wicked Cabaret Show to our annual banquets. He was persona non grata for several weeks after the Football Banquet, to the married women of Rolla, for they held him responsible for their husbands’ mis- demeanors on that memorable occasion. His accomplishments are without number, and he is always willing to make use of them in any way for the good of the school. WALTER HENRY WAGER. Newtonia, Missouri. Mining Engineering.

Has been known in all seriousness to claim that the “Neosho Times” is a much better paper than the “St. Louis Republic,” and proves his loyalty by reading it on any and every occasion. His nervousness is truly remarkable, and he has been known to jump at least twenty feet from a standing start when sufficiently startled. He is the school’s Mineralogy “Shark,” and has even been known to distinguish various rocks in the dark, using his sense of touch alone. “Wag-ger” will be missed by all of us.

When we entered school in the autumn of 1911, our class consisted of some thirty five men. We passed creditably through the ordeal that awaits all Freshmen. On Green Cap Day we fell before the superior strategy of the Sophomores only after the hardest battle in the history of the school. We accepted our defeat in the proper spirit, donned our “postage stamps ' and laid aside forever all feelings of enmity toward our conquerors at their smoker given that same night. In our Freshman year we made a deep mark in athletics and in our school work. We furnished some of the best men in football, baseball, basketball and track; while our grade cards showed a sufficient number of the coveted high marks. Naturally we anticipated a great deal of pleasure in our Sopho- more year i n guiding the feet of the Freshies along the paths that we had trod. But when we found that they had more than three to our one, it became evident even to the most optimistic of our number that we must use diplomacy and not force. We were so far successful as to emerge from our difficult situation with our dignity intact and the school traditions upheld. Some of the notable events in our Sophomore year were, the football game with the Freshmen, in which every member of our class put on the “moleskins in a supreme effort for victory; and the class trip to Newburg on Inauguration Day. We are now in our Junior year— the hardest of all, and yet the best. Although every space on our schedule is full we are still striving along all lines of college endeavor. St. Patrick’s Day of this year is a result of our labors and you who read this are the judges as to how our plans worked out. Notwithstanding our busy days, we still find tme for pleasures occasionally, as our Class Banquet and Class Smoker will testify. Of the original thirty five men who entered in 1911, scarcely a lull dozen remain. Although their places are to some extent filled by new men, we can but give a sigh of regret for the good fellows— Aves, Schwegler, Flayer, Lyons, Hayden, and many others— who were with us then but are now scattered over the West working in their chosen profession. Throughout the year of our attendance we have done all in our power for the good of the school. When we return next year as Seniors, we expect to continue our endeavors to repay in some measure the good we have received from our long-to-be-remembered days as Miners. — 54 — m mm v .. 1 1 IM4 |i m L hi 19 ygffll THryLLflMo ■St JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS.

Again they came. With a mighty bound His Saintship leaped from his golden couch and sped down the main celestial thoroughfare to the Golden Gates. Louder and more ominous grew the sounds. The heavens trembled with the rumble of wheels and the cries of the approaching host. Nearer and nearer came the sounds until at last above the din and rattle of the wheels, the old Saint could hear the following yelled in thunderous tones as by a mighty host: ‘Skee, Rye, Rip, Roar! One, Six, Sophomore! ’Skee, Rye, Rip, Roar! One, Six, Sophomore! A calm smile spread over the saintly countenance of St. Peter and he gave a sigh of relief. He knew that it was only the famous class of 1916 of the Mis- souri School of Mines and Metallurgy at Rolla, Mo., seeking entrance to the Elysian Fields. On they came. They numbered some sixty or seventy fellows, the majority of whom were riding. And such a conveyance as they had. It was a large wagon of the familiar farm-wagon type and drawn by two horses. At the rear end of the wagon was a queer mechanical contrivance. The Old Saint chuckled to himself as he recognized it as a — well, it was that self-same vehicle which the class of 1916 had made famous in the 1913 St. Patrick’s celebration. At last they were outside the gates and all was quiet. Out of the throng stepped a husky young lad wdio introduced himself as “Kelly” Miller, practical coal miner from Illinois and President of the Class of 1916, the members of which organization were at that time busily engaged in treading on each others toes in their eagerness to get a glimpse of the celestial gates, a sight many had given up all hopes of long ago. A little group of five next stepped forward. They each wore a nifty golden sweater with a silver “M” on the breast. They were promptly intro- duced as the Class of 16’s contribution to the record breaking football season of 1913. The men were E. A. Miller, W. W. Kiskaddon, Hubbard, John Cole, and “Buck” Mountjoy, captain-elect for 1914. But what was that next bunch? It was composed of about fifteen fellows, so covered with mud that their features were unrecognizable. It turned out that they were McCartney, Kamp and the rest of that valiant crew who one day severely trounced ye little Freshmen in the gentle game of football. The next thing belonged to the Class of 1916 purely by right of conquest. It was a large angora goat led by “Senator” Brown and Wornall. The sides of the goat were adorned with banners bearing the vivid green motto “We got the Fresh ies’ Goat.” At last the Old Saint was convinced of the worth of T6. He opened the gates and the class of 1916, wagon, goat, and all trooped into that heaven where there are no Physics exams, Calculus, Faculty, Freshmen or other horrible things, but where life is one grand continuous performance of banquets, bumming trips, and perhaps (Oh! Shades of Days gone by) keg parties. - 60 - i . T • ■ ; ap ft m m m I HL j OLLAMO SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS. President E. A. Miller Vice-President L. W.

Ads, photos, and cuts will delay your book the most— get them in early. Good copy cannot be secured on short notice — be working on it all year. If the 1915 Rollamo is not a success, be able to say that you did your best— then it will be a success. Be on the job early and late. Should the above suggestions be adopted, we would have rather ideal conditions around here, and who ever saw anything like that anywhere. But who can deny but that such conditions would result in the proper sort of a book? In connection with this 1914 Rollamo, a very great deal of credit must be given to Mr. A. F. Truex and Mr. M. j. Kelly for the work and ideas which belong to them. We owe to Mr. Truex the general plan of the book, along with many other features, while the business- like footing upon which we now stand and a very great deal of the work in that connection must be attributed directly to Mr. Kelly. It is to be very much regretted that their connection with the Rollamo Board was so untimely severed, coming as it did at the critical period of the book’s existence; but much more to be regretted are the com- plications which brought about such a result. We cannot speak too highly of the donations to this book of Mr. Eugene Johnson of St. Louis. He has made possible the many drawings which appear here, and to speak of their merit is unneces- sary. His willingness and ability make our appreciation all the greater. To Coach E. H. McCleary we are indebted for our Football and Baseball Reviews, together with other articles in our section on Athletics. We wish to thank Mr. J. C. Finagin for his assistance in obtaining photos, and to J. L. Head, T. P. McCague, Myron Skid- more, L. L, Harlowe, J. W. Shotwell, T. S. Dunn and others we express appreciation for class and special articles. To the many others also the Rollamo Board is grateful for the advice, co-operation, and assistance which you have tendered us, for we realize well enough how deficient the book would be without your support. irw .AM U m i rw MWiWiW 51 - T Hh_ ULLfllVlO .jJjJ SIGMA NU.

The objects of the Association are: first, to advance the knowledge of mining among its members; second, to promote good-fellowship among the students and alumni of the Missouri School of Mines; and third, to bring the Missouri School of Mines into closer touch with the mining profession at large. There are three classes of members in the Association, Active, Alumni and Honorary. Any student of the Missouri School of Mines who has eighty- five hours credit is eligible to active membership. Although we got a late start this year, we are striving to fulfill the objects of the Association by having meetings every two weeks instead of once a month as prescribed by the constitution. So far we have been very successful in securing very interesting talks” from Professor Cox, on benefits derived as members of the Association; from Mr. T. S. Dunn, on Coal Mining” as carried on in Alberta, Canada; from Professor Dake, on Prospecting by Mag- netics” as done in the northern iron fields. The President has secured the services of Hans” Buehler, S. St. Clair, Professor Forbes, L. J. Boucher and D. W. Blaylock for future meetings. He is also trying to secure the services of men, who are prominent in the mining and metallurgical fields of the near by states. So for he has secured Dr. U. S.

The 1913 football season may be characterized by the expression “the best record a Missouri School of Mines Team ever made.” And taking into consideration the schedule, which was an exception- ally stiff one, the team made a wonderful showing. Practice was started at the opening of school with thirty men out. Of the 1912 squad six “M” men reported for practice. Captain E. 0. Stoliker, Joe Cole, and “Kelly” Miller of the backfieid, and “Ole” Lodwick, “Eggie” Miller, and “Buck” Mountjoy, linemen. Others of the 1912 squad to report were John Cole, Lyons, McCague, Corey, Cushwa, Arpe, McCartney and McKinley. Of the new men, Bland, Freeman, Kiskaddon, Usher, Houston, Hubbard, Wilson, Bandy, and Bock looked best. After two weeks of preliminary training to condition the men, scrimmage was held until the first scheduled game with Cape Giradeau Normal, October 4, at Rolla, which the Miners carried away easily by a score of 51 to 0. This was merely a practice, but it gave the coach an opportunity to get a better line on his men. After this game several changes were made and the team began to take the form of a football machine, although the practice the week following this game was perhaps the most gruelling of the 1913 season. But the benefits derived from this were mainfested in the game with the strong Christian Brothers College team at Rolla, October 11. C. B. C. GAME. This game ended in a 7-7 score, but those who saw the game know the Miners should have won by at least two touchdowns. Over-anxiety and penalties alone prevented us from scoring at least two more touchdowns. This game brought out still more weak spots in the team, and proved it had not yet hit the stride pleasing to the coach, although improvement over the first game was very noticeable to all. In this game the Miners gained more than twice as much ground as their opponents, but were penalized 165 yards as against 25 for the visitors. The game proved to be the hardest fought and most interesting game ever played on Jackling Field, for the C. B. C. aggregation fought hard and put up a very stiff defense. The manner in which the Miners came from behind and fought for the score that prevented defeat was most pleasing to their supporters. THL jflOLLAMCtei ST. LOUIS UNIVERSITY GAME. The C. B. C. game past history, all eyes were turned to the I St. Louis University Miners game at St. Louis, October 18. The week preceding this game was another of hard work, perfecting team work and overcoming the weak points that cropped out in the C. B. C. game. Not since 1910 had the Miners beaten St. Louis University, and they went into this game with the intention to do or die. The Miners simply swept the Blue and White players off their feet and administered the worst defeat ever handed a St. Louis University team up to that time. The Miners played the running game throughout, and resorted to the forward pass but twice during the game. The score could probably have been made larger but a great many substitutions were made in the second half. The team- work in this game was nearly perfect and the game had not been under way very long until it was seen that Coach Dennie’s men were in for a drubbing. The supporters of the Miners had hoped for victory but the score of 60-0 was far beyond their fondest expecta- tions. The work of Bland, Freeman, Captain Stoliker, Mountjoy, Kiskaddon, in fact every man, was excellent. The team had now gotten into its true form, and at that time the scribes of St. Louis voiced the opinion that the Miners could cope with any team west of the Mississippi. This victory was probably the most decisive and brilliant ever achieved by an M. S. M. football team. It gained us recognition throughout the country and put us on the football map. DRURY GAME. The next week after the St. Louis University game was probably the easiest of the season for the team, and was taken up in the per- fecting of the forward pass in anticipation of the game with Drury at Springfield, October 25. Drury has had the good fortune in the past to catch the Miners on an off day, but this year proved the reverse. True, the Miners were slow in getting into action, but once they did, they swept Drury before them. The first quarter, Drury, with the aid of a Miner ' s fumble and a stiff wind, kept the Miners on the defensive most of that time. But at the end of the quarter the conditions were reversed, and it took but a few minutes for the Miners to go over the line for a touchdown. They added another in this quarter and had the ball on Drury ' s five yard line when time was up for the half. We scored a touchdown in each of the two succeeding quarters and would have had another but for penalties. The game ended with the score 26-0, in favor of the Miners. The team used the forward pass with telling effect and Kiskaddon’s running with the ball from a fake formation was good. Bland, Stoliker, Mountjoy and Freeman were the ground gainers for the Miners. Drury put up a stubborn defense but could do nothing on offense after the first quarter. SI : m THL jflOLLAMO MISSOURI UNIVERSITY GAME. The week following the Drury game was one of disappointment to the coach. Due to a heavy snow, practice was impossible, and the team had to go to St. Louis for the only two signal practices of the week. It was the plan of the coach to work the team hard in prepara- tion for the Missouri University game at Columbia on November 1. The men went stale and were not in condition to withstand the hard rough game put up by the University. The Miners were defeated by a 44-14 score, but every man felt that it was due to lack of practice, and the condition of the men. The only consoling feature of the game was that the Miners had crossed the University ' s goal line for the first time in the history of the school, and we did the trick twice without the aid of flukes. Bland made a 90 yard run for a touch- down, but was so badly hurt a short time after this that he had to be taken from the game. Freeman was always good for a gain when carrying the ball. Mountjoy distingusihed himself at end, while Captain Stoliker was sure on defense. Joe Cole and “Eggie Miller were badly hurt in this game and the whole team was badly battered. While disappointing to the team, it did not discourage them. They got down to hard work again in preparation for the Washington Un versity game at St. Louis, November 8. WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY GAME. The Washington University game proved to be one of the clean- est, hardest fought, and most interesting games ever played on Francis Field. Our team was a badly crippled aggregation when it took the field in that game. Joe Cole was out with a broken bone in his foot, while Pitts Bland was in no shape to enter the game. Before the game had been on ten minutes, Captain Stoliker was badly hurt and had to be taken from the game, while Bland was taken out a short time afterward. This necessitated the taking of “Buck Mountjoy from end and putting him at half back. The move proved to be a good one, as “Buck gave an exhibition of running with the ball that was the feature of the game. The Miners had several chances to score, once having the ball on their opponents’ one yard line with four trials to take it over, but lacked the necessary punch. Twice again they were within the five yard line but Washington University’s line held firm and they were forced to give up the ball on downs. Washington had the ball within the Miners’ five yard line but they too lacked the ability to take it over. Another time from the fifteen yard line, Lewis, their full back, place-kicked a goal from field. At the end of the third quarter the score was 3-0 in Washington University’s favor. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Miners with the aid of a stiff wind, took the ball in mid- field and without losing possession of it once, marched down the field, — 118 — H m m ' | It mi ■ p m ■ Oi f£ M i I THE 1 ‘Kelly Miller going over for the first touchdown of the game. Washington kicked off, and then the Miners pulling together as a man and pulling off some sensational forward passes sent Freeman crashing over the line for the second touchdown. Kiskaddon had kicked the first goal but missed this one, leaving the score 13-3 for the Miners. Again Washington kicked off and the Miners returned it to mid-field. Again by the aid of forward passes and off tackle plays, end runs and fakes, Kiskaddon went over for the third and last touchdown and then missed goal. The game ended shortly after this, with a score of 19-3, with the Miners on the long end. Bland, Mountjoy, Kiskaddon, “Kelly Miller and the whole line played great football. The dark spots of the game were the injuries to Captain Stoliker and Pitts Bland. The injury to Stoliker kept him out of the game the rest of the season, and with Bland and Joe Cole in bad shape the outlook was very gloomy. On November 19, a practice game was played with Verona A. C., in lieu of the game scheduled for November 15 with Central College, which later was cancelled. The final score was 74-6 in favor of the Miners. OKLAHOMA A. M. GAME. The Miners journeyed to Muskogee, Oklahoma, to play the Oklahoma A. M. College on Thanksgiving day under the auspices of the Muskogee Commercial Club. The game was played in a drizzling rain, and on very muddy grounds, but the Miners, although crippled, played one of the best games of the season. Kiskaddon displayed excellent generalship, and his forward passing with a water soaked and muddy ball was sensational. Both touchdowns came directly from the use of this play. Every man played the game of his life, the w T ork of Bland, Kiskaddon, Houston, Freeman, “Eggie Miller, Lodwick, Hubbard and Cushwa being exceptionally good. The Miners ended a most successful season by winning the game by a score of 14-0. They had the ball on the Aggies’ one yard line when time was called for end of game. Although Captain Stoliker was disabled and did not play in the two final games, his magnificent inspiration seemed to imbue the team, and his mere presence was sufficient. — 1 19 — ■W W- Cl ' ' :. 1 v m m r— THE ol AMU E. H. McC LEARY — Penn State — Coach. Mac showed us his ability more than ever this year. Last year was his first one with us, and, though we lost a few of the hardest games, we were more than satisfied with the results. This year he gave us a team which lost but one game on the hardest schedule we have ever had — it was a team which may well be ranked as about the best in the history of M.S.M. He accomp- lished this through his thorough knowledge of the game, his resourcefulness, his personality and his ability to both tell and show what he wanted. LAWRENCE COLLINS— ’14— Manager. “Mike went at his work in the right way. He had everybody with him, students, townsmen, faculty and team. There wasn ' t a thing that he could have done that he didn ' t do in the way of looking after the best interests of football at M.S.M. A. F, TRUEX — ' 14— Cheer Leader. True led our rooting as he has led every- thing else, showing ability, energy, and origin- ality. He always had everybody with him from the kick-off to the final whistle. No longer do w r e hear muckerish rooting” applied to our demonstrations. How pleased Doc Louie would be! u $$j} M ■ ' ■■1 - m m V. ■ 34 - 9W. T H K fSL 1- A M CAPTAIN STOLIKER, T4 Fullback. “Stolly” was perhaps the best defensive man on the team, at probably the hardest position, that of defensive half back. He was a sure, hard and deadly tackier, a good consistent kicker and could not be denied his yards when given the ball. Put all his effort in to running with the ball, and made a fine leader by his good work and his fine example. Received a broken bone in his neck at a time when he was playing his best game. Here’s hoping for his safe and speedy recovery. CAPTAIN ELECT, MOUNT JOY, T6 End. “Buck” was one of the few fellows that could successfully diagnose his opponent’s plays and get to them and break them up before really started. Saved his team many times by being able to do this. Was brought back from end to halfback and gained many yards by his ability to dodge and pick holes. Was out- most reliable ground gainer in the Washington game. Was full of tricks but got caught at Muskogee in the Thanksgiving game. Was chosen captain to lead the 1914 team and we all wish him to lead the bes t team ever. J. C. MILLER, ' 14 Center. “Come on, fellows, a little more pep!” was a fam- iliar cry of Eggie’s” and was the signal for more scores. In the St. Louis University game he was out of breath yelling “more pep!” but everybody was so well pleased that “Eggie” couldn’t say it fast enough. Look at the score of that game if you wish to realize how many times he said it. Played his second season of football when a Senior. Also played himself to death in every game, but would never quit. 51 TH E - QL LAMU H. J. HUBBARD, ’16 End, “Hub” was one of those quiet unassuming fellows that would not give you the impression of a star. But he was one of those sure, hard clean tacklers that could always be depended upon. He could smash inter- ference just about right, and the opponents could never get around his end successfully. Was equally as effective at one end as the other. He played a wonder- ful game against the Oklahoma Aggies on Thanks- giving, and should be an All-Missouri end by next year. C. C, BLAND, ' 16 Halfback. “Pitts” played the best football of his career this last year. His running of ends from fake kick forma- tions with the ball was great from our standpoint, but rather discouraging to opponents. Was badly jammed up the latter half of season but was our best offensive man. Put up a great game all year and ended the sea- son with one of his best games against the Oklahoma Aggies, on Thanksgiving. Classed with any of the all Missouri backs. E. A, MILLER, ? 16 Halfback, “Kelly” improved a hundred per cent over his Freshman year, and if he continues to improve as rapidly the next year or two, he should be one of the classiest half backs in Missouri. One of those solid husky built boys that can get over the ground at breakneck speed. Is a very good man at defensive half back and has knocked many out forward passes of opponents. Was right on the job at all times giv- ing his best to the team. — 123 — - — 1 THL jftOLLAMU W. W. KISKADDON, ’16 Quarterback. “Kis played his first year in a Miner ' s uniform but he made good with a vengeance at quarter back. Always used good judgment in calling plays; a whale at tackling; did nearly all the forward passing; did the kicking after “Stolly” was disabled; and never dropped a punt during any game of the season. What more could you wish? His hurling of forward passes in the Thanksgiving game with a slippery mud-soaked ball was great. Threw them to the spot every time, and it was that that brought home the bacon. JOHN COLE, ' 16 Tackle. John” was the handy man of the team, and could be played at any position on the line and fill it admir- ably. He was rather light for a line man, but made up for it in spirit and fight. Was better at center than any other position, although he did good work at tackle and end. This was his first year, but he was quick to learn, and should prove one of the mainstays of the team next fall. EARL FREEMAN, T7 Fullback. Free” has the distinction of being the only man on the team to score at least one touchdown in every game on our schedule last Fall. Was a hard man to stop on those off tackle plays and was used consistently in that particular play. Was good running mate for Pitts,” and that pair brought dismay to many of their opponents. Free” was well liked by all the fellows and we are sorry to lose him from our midst for next year. — 124 — H. J. HOUSTON, ’17 Tackle. “Hobbs” could make more noise than any man on the team, but could also play the game. W as a late arrival last Fall but made good right from the start. He played a clean cut, consistent game throughout the season. Was a hard man to run plays through or around and could always be depended upon. He played the Thanksgiving game with a badly wrenched knee that would have kept another on the side lines, but Hobbs stuck to it and tore through the Oklahomans time and again. JOE WILSON, ' 17 Guard. “Joe” was probably the biggest man on the squad although but a green Freshman. He made rapid strides and was coming along fast. Made good as guard at the beginning and played the whole season through at that place. He should make a bright star in three more years as he has everything but experience. Should be an All-Missouri guard before he finishes his college football. R. L. BANDY, ’17 Center. Cheese” was another of those all around men. He was played at center, end and some at tackle. Was one of the fastest men on the squad and had the making of a fine player after a little more experience. He was another of those green Freshmen, and made the coveted “M” in his first year, but he left at the end of the first semester and the Miners lost another good prospect. == — 125 - — HEr-jKOLLAMO n Yi g BSl i M H I- LL A M nm j2S ’v v V: O ' 1 THE jfcOULAMO H ' s- iff ii |£| ifl m BASEBALL SEASON, 1913. With but four “M” men back for the baseball team, the pros- pects for a good team in 1913 were not exceedingly bright. Of the old men, Ehlers, captain and pitcher, Hall, another pitcher, “Eggie” Miller at first base and Johnnie” Webster shifted from second base to the outfield, were all that remained from the preceding year. But Kelly” Miller at second base, Mount joy at third and Lyons behind the bat showed great form and filled the vacancies admirably. Hanrahan and Kamp did good work at short, while Pete White made good in the outfield. The other new men were Lee and Spafford, pitchers. “Ole” Lodwick and Cushwa made up the outfield along with White and Webster. The first trip was taken early in April, and before any home games had been played, and with but very little practice owing to the cold weather. The first game with Arkansas University at Fayetteville was a pitcher’s battle between Ehlers and Hinton, the star of Arkansas. Each pitcher gave only five hits, but Arkansas secured theirs at opportunes times, and with a couple of Miner errors, Arkansas won by a score of 5-1. The second game between these teams was played at Fort Smith, Arkansas. Bill Hall, after a bad start, pitched a great game and should have won, but after several substitutions of umpires by the Arkansas coach the game was simply taken from us by a score of 6-5 in ten innings. We outhit and outfielded our opponents but several decisions against us did the work. The next game was a walk over for the Miners. They defeated Henry Kendall College at Tulsa, Oklahoma by a score of 11 to 4. Lee and Spafford, new men, pitched this game. The next game with Oklahoma A. M., our old football rivals, was a close, hard fought game and was lost by a thrown ball hitting the umpire, allowing two runs to score. These proved to be the tallies that decided the game as the final score was 4-2 in the Aggie’s favor. Ehlers pitched a fine game but weakened in the eighth inning, due to lack of practice. The next two games were defeats at the hands of Oklahoma University at Norman, Oklahoma. In the first game, our men were helpless before the terrific speed of Ponder, and we lost by a score of 8-1. r Ihe second game was a repetition of the Oklahoma Aggie — 128 — M I m l ; I A ' ,? I 4 I m m game, in which our pitchers could not hold up. This game went by a 5-3 score. At Wilburton, Oklahoma, our team put up the best game of the trip, and the Miners defeated the Oklahoma School of Mines by a score of 4-1. The Oklahomans had a strong team and were out to win, but Ehler’s benders were too much for them and the Missouri Miners came away victorious. Several former Missouri School of Mines professors and alumni made the visit for our team a pleasant one, a dance being given in their honor. The trip from Wilburton to Springfield was an all-night ride, changing trains and no sleep. The loss of sleep showed on our team the next day against Drury, as we lost in a loose played game by a score of 7 to 1. Our team put up a miserable fielding game although they hit hard. The second game with Drury was called off on account of rain. The next game was played on Jackling Field, the first home game, with the Chinese University team of the Hawaiian Islands. The Chinese had a great team, not having lost a game to any college team since landing. They were great fielders and cut off several Miner scores by sensational stops and catches. If Captain Ehlers had not lost control in the seventh inning, the Miners would have had a great chance for the game, as they were leading at that time by a score of 6-4. But the Celestials made enough that inning to capture the game by a score of 8-6, sad to relate. The next two and last games of the season were victories for the Miners over Drury College. Our team was at its best and in the first game batted Dillard, Drury’s star slabman, for twelve runs, three of them being homers. Of these latter, Pete White made two and “Eggie” Miller the other. Ehlers held the Drury ites scoreless. The second game was a hard fought affair with first one team leading then the other. Ehlers relieved Hall in the seventh, after a pinch hitter had taken Bill’s place at the bat, and held Drury scoreless for the remainder of the game. Successful pinch hits and good hard drives put the Miners ahead again, and they won by a score of 7-5. The team, while it did not make an enviable record, was playing a fast game the latter part of the season. Some of the teams that had defeated us earlier in the season would have been easy prey for us ♦ I ■ 5d 1 0 L L A M � HE TRACK SEASON OF 1913. The track athletics for 1913 at M. S. M. were greatly handi- capped due to the difficulty of arranging meets. The only dual meet arranged for was with Washington University of St. Louis, on May 3d, 1913. Washington University had one of the strongest teams in the state, while the quality of the Miner’s team was unknown. The meet proved to be one of the most exciting ever seen in St. Louis, as the final score was in doubt until the last event was decided. The Miners started off by taking first and second places in all the dashes and short distance events, breaking existing records for Francis Field. We also took first place in the half mile, the discus throw, and the high jump, and seconds in the one mile, both hurdles, and shot- put. Finally the Washington men found our weak spots in the broad jump and the pole vault. The relay race was exciting, but proved to be a victory for the Miners, Cowman having a start at the begin- ning of the last lap which he gradually increased until he came in a good winner. The final score stood 52 to 57 in favor of Washington University. Cowman was the individual star of the occasion, winning three firsts in record time. Cowman later represented M. S. M. at the Missouri Valley Conference Meet held at St. Louis under the auspices of the Wash- ington University, but hard luck at the finish prevented him from winning the quarter-mile final heat. 1 he prospects for this season are much brighter than they have been in recent years. A meet with Washington University in Rolla is already arranged for, with possibilities for two or three more later. With practically all the old men back, and Joe Cole and Jerry Cow- man to lead the way, there is no doubt but that we will have a team that will win glory for both itself and old M. S. M. . The erection of the new Gymnasium with its accommodations for in d ooi tiaining will no doubt prove a potent factor in the future successes of our track teams. — 134 — jsa THE ffiOLLAMO i;Xt’ I -.-j m HE OCL70TO MV’ AWARDED IN TRACK, 1913.

The evening of December 8, 1913, will be long remembered by those who were so fortunate as to be attending the School of Mines at the time, for on that date was held the now famous Football Banquet. It was the first of the kind, but let us hope that from now on it will be an annual custom, for the entire student body and the faculty to gather for an evening of enjoyment and to show what M. S. M. spirit really is. Of course we had a great incentive this year to come together as a body to honor one of the greatest football teams that ever represented the school, to extol! the deeds of the team of 1913, and to inspire those who will uphold M. S. M.’s colors in the future, giving them the assurance that the entire school would be behind them winning or losing. It was the team ' s misfortune this yea r to meet the greatest Tiger team in years and to meet C. B. C. before the season was well started, but with the veterans of this year as a foundation, we are expecting great things for next fall. And while this years record was magnificent, we expect next year to see an unbroken string of victories, and to gather at another banquet to honor an all -victorious team. But if we are disappointed, we will still hold the banquet to honor a team that gave all they had, and only went down to defeat to a superior foe. But to that evening of fun. It was SOME banquet all right and every thing and every minute of dinner, speeches, and cabaret, was enjoyed to the limit by faculty, students, and town people. Possibly some present thought that the honors were unevenly distributed, and the Freshmen, and some Seniors, wished that their hair might mysteriously disappear, for a bald head did seem to be an attraction. But then we all can’t hope to make a hit with the ladies. The way that dinner disappeared gave proof of the excellency of the food, and the unanimous chant of “We want music with our meals” showed that the cabaret was as greatly appreciated. The great gold and silver banner hanging above all, with the season’s glorious record inscribed upon it, was an inspiration to all, and when it was auctioned off, the bidding was enthusiastic. But after the sale was over, many a student investigated the state of his pocketbook, and, thinking of the price the banner brought, decided that it was just as well that his class was not the successful bidder, and that the town people obtained it — although the amount that was bid for it hasn’t been entirely collected yet. And then came the speeches. Captain Stoliker and Mountjoy did nobly, but both showed that they preferred to be in the thick of the fray on the gridiron rather than to face such an enthusiastic audience in the role of after-dinner speakers. The Honorable Frank H. Faris delivered the main address of the evening, and those who — 140 — atywswsiTH jfiOLLAMG had the pleasure of listening to that finished orator talk on “Our Reputation” will never forget it. The attentive audience was the sincerest compliment that Mr. Faris could receive, and_ the noisy outburst at the close of his talk only emphasized the feelings of the listeners. We must confess that Professor E. L. Garrett made the real hit of the evening. Rising to address us on the subject “Marks and Remarks” he made just one remark, and that one was sufficient. For some reason or another the word “holiday” has a peculiar attrac- tion for Rolla students, and so the words spoken by Professor Garrett went right to the spot. It was all great, from the pennant festooned hall to the last yell, and a happy crowd started for home after it was all over, full of the real old M. S. M. spirit and goodfellowship. And then — but what ' s the use, we couldn’t tell all about that banquet in a thousand years. Here is the Menu and Program, so try to imagine it all for yourself. MENU.

It was decided to make the occasion an old fashioned, get-together, personal-experience meeting. It proved to be a happy decision. The resulting feeling of increased class pride and loyalty was plainly noticeable, for nothing binds men together like the recounting of varied experiences through which they have passed together. Old happenings, former class-mates, our earlier college days, all were brought before us once more, and many were the happy emotions induced by their recollection. There was nothing lacking. The decorations and repast were all that could be desired, and it is proper to say that the Committee did well. The speeches of the evening dealt principally with class activ- ities of the present and future. However, the practical experiences of mining life, as told by the older men, proved an instructive and interesting feature of the evening. A beautiful and novel rendition of the Song of Hope” in the original Yiddish, by Jinx” Kaplan, was received with applause by the linguists of the class. The following toasts were given during the course of the evening: The J unior Class, The New Recruit, Howdy, Juniors, The Foreign Student as a Factor at Mining in Illinois, Mining in South Dakota, Experiences at Garfield, Experiences at Bingham, Basketball, St. Pat’s Day, Au Revoir, J.

In accordance with their usual custom, the Class of 1916 held their annual banquet on February 28th, at the Roll a Country Club, otherwise known as the M. C. U. Hall. Always progressive in the matter of obtaining novel features for such an occasion, the Football Banquet ' s Scheme-of-Entertainment was adopted— you know Bill Painter was the headliner in 1913. Of course we could not be content with merely equaling the Football Banquet, we had to excel it, and we did so beyond all doubt. As a result we fear that the horrible Cabaret is banished from Rolla henceforth and forever more. The guests were Coach E. H. McCleary, and E. R. Needles and J. B. Cole, presidents of the Senior and Junior classes respectively. The arrangements were very nearly perfect, the decorations being both profuse and appropriate, and the food was all that could have been asked for. Myron Skidmore was toast master, and carried out his part well indeed. The credit for the success of the banquet does not rest upon individuals, but upon the class as a whole. However, the names of W. D. Beeghly, Jimmie Allen, Marsh, Turnbull and John Schuman might be mentioned as men deserving special com- mendation. If banquets in the future reach the standard of excellence set by this one, we are sure they will leave nothing further to be desired. The program of the evening follows: Retrospective, -E. R.

This was the morning of the start of the never-to-be-forgotten Junior Trip of 1913, in which were combined three weeks of mine, mill, and smelter inspection — all happily crowned with the pleasures of sightseeing in scenic Colorado, and the con- tinued good-fellowship which ever characterizes the students of M. S. M. To return to Wednesday, June 4th. A hike through the Garden of the Gods, studying the geology of the Garden under the guidance ol Professor Cox, proved of so great interest that morning, that, after a hurried lunch in Manitou, we were obliged to hasten on to the Golden Cycle Cyanide Plant in Colorado City in order to inspect it before night fell. In spite of the fatigue experienced from the first day s trip, the bunch still had life enough in them to enjoy the dance at Stratton Park. If anything, we exceeded our marching speed of the previous afternoon, the afternoon of that day in North Cheyenne Canyon. It was with sighs of relief that the tired party reached Bruin’s Inn, and dropped on rustic seats for a few minutes of rest. By six o’clock of that evening we were en route for Victor which proved the greatest trip from a sight seeing viewpoint, that we had the pleasure of making. Two days were spent in Victor, during which time we had the rare opportunity of visiting the Portland Mine, where several hours were spent in studying the geology of the ore deposits and the methods of mining. The Portland Mill, the Independence Mine and Mill, and the Eagle Customs Sampling Works were also visited. Forever associated with the memories of the trip will be the strains of On the Trail of the Lonesome Pine,” and other favorites ol the orchestra, composed of Copelin, Metz and Thomas. Their ■ OLLAIVnT music, we think is responsible to a large degree for our royal treat- ment by the people of Leadville, Breckenridge, Montezuma and Idaho Springs. At any rate their “rags” and songs played an im- portant part in making the trip so enjoyable. Saturday night found us back again in Colorado Springs and Sunday evening at the Congress Hotel in Pueblo. On Monday the 9th, we visited the wonderful’ plant of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Co. We saw huge iron blast furnaces, Bessemer converters, open hearth furnaces, and rail, rod and wire mills in operation, and observed all the steps in the conversion of the raw iron ores to the finished steel products. Returning to Denver that evening we attended the “Passing Show” and of course felt quite at home in our dress (?) suits. Not one of us will forget the memorable twenty hour ride from Denver to Leadville which followed. Enduring starvation, rain and snow, delay upon delay, and the ceaseless flow of pseudo wit, humor, and delicate repartee of Metz, Clayton. Miller, Copelin and Castillon for twenty hours, we reached Leadville at 12:30 the following night in a blinding snow-storm. Wednesday and Thursday were spent in visiting the A. V. Smelter, the Cord Winds, and the Ibex Mines, which we reached by electric mine cars through the Yak Tunne 1 . Geology study in Cali- fornia Gulch and Carbonate Hill and a visit to the Wolfton Mine claimed part of our time also. The Wellington Mine and Mill at Breckenridge were visited and some hydraulic mining and dredging observed. Hopkins piloted us aboard the huge dredge of the Colorado Gold Dredging Co., in Swan’s Gulch and then to the best dinner we had yet discovered on the trip. We could hardly blame “Hop” for going no further with us. The journey by stage to Montezuma, the liberal manner in which we were entertained en route, the dance to the music of the accordeen and especially Cepeda ' s Spanish tango, are all pleasant memories of the trip. And then the long hard climb to the lofty eights of Argentine Pass, and the views of snow capped peaks and Mfm m i Val fe be 7 ea !(h ug — words fail here to describe either the difficulty of the climb, or the grandeur of the scenery which amph repaid us for the ascent to the top of the world. A week was spent in surveying and mapping the Treasury Vault Mine, and the Junior trip of 1913 was ended. It was with a tinge of q ' that we sang our last songs, and said our farewells to Idaho as th . e part y separated, some to go out in to the world of 10 coraplete their education at THE I ITtlWWilftM AN ODE TO DEAN. Be kind to your Sophomores, 0 George Reginald Dean, Their beans are now sluggish and cold; The works of each differentiating machine Are rusty and sure growing old. Ah, once they could do forty problems with ease. But now they are spavined and lame; Your quizzes alone give them heart disease, Each mourns for the lack of a brain. You toiled and you slaved like a government mule, You gave every one a good chance, You spoon-fed them full according to rule, And rejoiced over each step’s advance. The campus is moist with the billows of sweat You cheerfully shed as you sought, To bring up these boobs to the mark you had set, But the mark on their papers is “nought.” They say they don’t know and don’t give a damn For the apples of knowledge that hang Within easy reach of the bone-head called man. But their hopes will go up with a bang. So be kind to your Sophomores, friend George Reginald Dean They’ll be sorry they laughed when you railed, The flush on their cheeks will turn sickly green At the end of the term when they’ve failed. FTHb. j ULLAMry 1 J MINE SURVEYING TRIP. Commencement over, a dozen Sophomores and a couple of Juniors fol- lowed the straight and narrow path from Rolla to St. Louis, hesitated there until Saturday night, and then journeyed more or less gleefully over to Edwards- ville. Here the embryo mine surveyors found lodging, entertainment, and partial refreshment at the St. James Hotel, the remainder of the refreshments being eked out across the street. On the Sunday of our arrival Professors Forbes and McCandliss took us — or rather Professor Forbes took McCandliss and us — out to reconnoiter the mine that was to be subjected to our ignorance. To get to it, we rode an hour on the cars, and then enjoyed a pleasant walk of three miles or more from the station. Arrived there, we spent about an hour trying to make the lamps burn and then went underground. The rest of the afternoon was employed in wandering about the mine, dodging mules and overhead timbers, and trying to look interested and at the same time pleased. Monday we started work in earnest, and with Mac’s assistance, success- fully captured the azimuth and conducted it underground on a couple of wires. Then we began the survey. For several days we struggled through the Main South, Free Clique, Due West, and Main North entries, and finally finished the traverse — but it is doubtful if it ever will close, even under the healing influence of time. Hut we learned lots of things; how to set up under a point, how to chain along the rails, how to get lost in the easiest possible way, how to replenish a lamp when far from the water bucket, and best of all, how good a lunch tastes at midnight. Arrived back at the hotel after a night’s hard work, it was our usual custom to bathe in the one tub, sleep till noon, and then fuss the two girls that Fernandez discovered on the day of his arrival. Yes, Fernandez was along. He came out to the mine in a white shirt and with no lamp, purposing to find his way about by instinct. But he was sure there with the ladies. They fell for the “boy with the black hair and the teeth.” There were several incidents that might be related if space only permitted; how Cole and Griffin ran off with McCandlis’s lunch, leaving his party hungry and ready to fight; how Tex” Wilson got hung up in the cage half way up the shaft; how Kayser adjured him to stay there and not move until he was rescued; how the boys patronized a certain “girly” bakery; how one had to belong to the lodge to buy cigarrettes; how “Jinx” visited us one day with an electric spot light and a bagful of “Kosher” lunch; how some of the fellows were scared by the night boss’ wild cat stories; and finally how some of us had to wait for money from home to get out of town. But everyone had a splendid time, and perhaps one or two of us learned something, which, the faculty opines, is justification enough for any trip. wim ■■v GREEN CAP DAY. My friend! Have you never been rudely snatched from the arms of Morpheus to see standing over your bed a couple of blood-thirsty looking individuals clad in sweaters and armed with pei-suasive looking barrel staves? Have you never been commanded in authoritative tones to rise and follow your superiors out into the calm, still night where you met some dozen more large- eared young cigarette holders in turned-up trousers and pompadour hats each armed with a club closely resembling a young tree? Have you, then, never been forced to bay at the moon, to scramble like an egg, to roll a peanut across the street with your nose, to give your high school yell, to display your vo cal talents, or, perchance, to take a swim in the Frisco natatorium? If you have never experienced any of the preceding things, it is evident, my friend, that you were never a Freshman at M.S.M. In September the foregoing touching little scene was staged nightly. The stage managers were the members of the Class of 1916, while the actors were those future mining engineers known as Freshmen. Things ran on in this manner for about a week, when the Freshmen finally realized that they were being “funny-sheeted and began to show signs of rebellion at such treatment. One night the majority of the two classes came together on the campus and there under the stars a miniature Green Cap scrap was staged in which the Sophs were victorious. Feeling now ran high and nightly encounters were the customary thing. Then came the night when the Sophs armed with brush and paste quietly stole about the sleeping city and the dawn revealed the green posters of 1916 gleaming from post, tree, barn, walk, and wall. They informed those arrogant, brainless, cock-eyed, degenerate, egotistical, four- flushing, graceless, hideous, ignominious, juvenile, knock-kneed, lunk-headed, mangy, nefarious, pigeon- toed, querulous, rubeish, superficial, terrified, unsophisticated, vain-glorious, whining, xanthic, yelping, zorillic Braehiopods who styled their filthy and repulsive selves members of the ignoble Class of 1917 that September 15, 1913 had been set aside as a day for the instruction of their infantile comprehen- sions.” 3 he next night the Freshmen attempted to put up their posters but the Sophs were “on the alert” and the next day saw each Freshman poster covered over with the green proclamation of ' 16. The next night, however, the Fresh- men were successful in pasting up their haughty reply. Sunday night, Sep- tember 14th the Freshmen left town in a body and spent the night at the fair grounds. And then the great day dawned, A light rain was falling and the ground underneath was soaking, giving promise of a muddy conflict. “Give ’em H— 1, ' 16! Give ’em h— 1, T6! Give ’em h — 1, ' 16! thundered the Sophs, 55 strong, who were stationed at the north end of the campus oppo- site Chemical Hall, Go to h— 1, T6! Go to h— 1, ’16! Freshmen stationed at the south end. Go to h — 1, T6! answered the 50 S ; 8$ M , ' v jr,-y4 ' H k IpELBMD ■■ . lip And then the fight was on! In a moment ' 16 and ’17 were locked together, tumbling and roiling in the mud until one would gain the advantage and hold his captor helpless until the ropes could be applied. The air was filled with cries of “Help, ’17!” or “More rope, T6!” At first the struggle was fierce and furious but soon the Freshmen wearied from their all-night stay at the fair grounds and on account of their inexperience, began to weaken. Slowly but surely the Sophs gained the advantage and one by one the Freshmen were tied and dragged away. Occasionally some Freshman would succeed in getting loose and show some “pep” but he was promptly tended to by several Sophs. In less than twenty minutes the Freshmen were subdued and the Class of 1916 declared the victors of the muddy combat. The scene was then set for the fun or, as it appeared to the Freshmen, the post mortem. They were lined up and tastily decorated with signs and green paint by the more artistic members of the Class of T6. The captives were led to Jackling Field, where before the public, Faculty, and “Stewdents” the same performance related at the beginning was staged on a magnificient scale. After the performance, the Freshmen were marched down to the busi- ness district of the city where they had their pictures taken, and then were headed to the official Green Cap emporium where each member of the Class of 1917 was adorned with regulation headgear. Thus ended the 1913 Green Cap Day, with no hard feelings on the part of anyone, but all remembering it as another one of those seemingly foolish affairs which make our college fife more worth while. III il ihr ci 585 m Itgra ■ Sift — I5S — X 2d THE j OLLAMTX ST. PATRICK’S DAY. There was great disappointment on the morning of March 17th, when Rolla awoke to find a light rain falling. This was our first St, Pat’s celebration in history to be marred by inclement weather. The parade was scheduled to start from the Grand Central Station at eight thirty, but because of the storm, the usual preparations made for St. Pat’s reception in front of Norwood Hall had to be moved to the auditorium in Parker Hall, causing a delay of over an hour. By this time the rain was falling steadily, but the procession moved forward over the usual route, through town and up Pine Street to the campus. The parade was headed by J. R. Maher on horse-back in a Herald’s costume. He was followed by Scott’s Band and a military troop representing St. Pat’s Royal Guards. Next came an automobile containing Mr. F. L. Johnson as St. Patrick, his two pages, Yaro Klepel and Carl Wei berg (two fine Irish lads), and his counsellor, Mr. Jos. B. Cole. Behind this machine marched those of our school who had already been dubbed Knights of St. Patrick followed by the members of the Senior Class, upon whom the degree was to be conferred. Another machine containing the M.S.M. coeds, a very unusual feature of our parades, followed behind the Seniors, and then came the floats and individual stunts put on by the different classes. The Senior float represented the four classes from the infant Freshman to the graduate Senior, and also reproduced a cartoon from an old Rollamo showing School Spirit” hanging lifeless on a gallows built of petty jealousy, greed, politics, etc. The Junior class presented an excellent reproduction of Rolla’s famous High School, showing its evolution from a saloon through various stages to its present place of housing the unfortunates ol Rolla of high school age. Upon it was inscribed the advice Wake up and build a High School— This is the 20th Century.” All ot which received a remarkable press notice at the hands of our most thoroughly progressive journalist. I he Sophs presented a float dedicated to M.S.M.’s new gymnasium, with the query Where is our gym for which $70,000 was appropriated over a year ago? Rolla ' s Speed” was represented by a one horse power” auto, and Rolla s 400 was depicted by a cage filled with motherly looking old hens, mmcdiately preceeding Rolla’s 400” was a crated rooster announced as The M.S.M. Student.” The Mining Engineer’s float, the Civil Engineer ' s float and outriders, and the individual stunts such as September Morn,” the Beer Keg Chariot, etc., etc., were all exceptionally good. Upon the disbanding of the parade, every one proceeded to Parker Hall, where the Seniors appeared in green caps and gowns. St. Patrick held court, giving his followers words of good advice and encouragement and telling of is p easure at being with us again. At this time the discovery was made that — 160 — i ;t«i m ma a !• the coveted Blarney Stone was not to be found. Several of the Royal Guards were detailed to find the stone and bring in the thief who had stolen it at the Station. They soon returned with both, the thief proving to be Ralph Wilkins in an excellent disguise as an Englishman. He readily admitted his guilt and gave as his reason his exceedingly great love for the Irish. St. Patrick im- mediately sentenced him to death. He was removed at once and the Royal Guards fired enough shots to kill a dozen Englishmen. St. Patrick then proceeded with the Knighting, each member of the Senior Class being compelled to kow-tow, kneel and kiss the Blarney Stone, and make some promise as to his future good conduct before being dubbed and receiving his certificate. In addition to the Seniors, the degree of Knight of St. Patrick was conferred upon Professor H. T. Mann, J. H. Bowen and C. C. I orbes, and upon H. A. Buehler, Chief of the Missouri State Geological Survey. B two-thirty in the afternoon Parker Hall was filled to overflowing, both the main floor and the balcony containing as many as possible. The entei tain men t for the afternoon consisted of a six reel picture show and six vaudeville artists trom St- Louis. All of the reels were good, and the dances and violin and vocal selections made a decided impression upon the audience. The inexperienced orchestra proved somewhat of a drawback to the performers, but all in all the show proved to be much better than those usually seen in Rolla. 1 his entertainment was repeated in the evening at seven o’clock and another great and appreciative audience attended. At nine o’clock in Mechanical Hall the Annual Masque Ball took place. 1 he decorations were probably the best ever seen on such an o ccasion, green streamers and the school colors in streamers being the principal means. A feature of the decoration was an electric sign at one end of the hall spelling out the words “Erin Go Bragh.” The intermittent flashes from this sign created a beautiful effect when the other lights in the hall were dimmed. The floor was crowded with the masked dancers, and all the available room around the floor was taken by spectators. About nine-thirty St. Patrick appeared, and after all his subjects had kow-towed before him again and he had given a few parting words of good will and advice, he bade the Grand March to proceed and departed. The costumes of the dancers were many and varied, most of them were excellent and the disguises perfect. When the unmasking took place about eleven o’clock the greatest merriment prevailed as the many mysteries were cleared up. At this time programs were passed out and the dancing continued, nroughout the evening delicious punch and cakes were served. The ball ended about one o’clock and another St. Patrick’s Day at M.S.M. passed into bistoiy. In spite of the rain in the morning the day was a decided success, and the greatest credit i s due the committee and the Junior Class in considera- tion ot the many difficulties encountered. - 162 — - 163 — - mil t I ' ■ nri THE ffiOLLAMC COMMENCEMENT 1915. The annual Commencement Ball was held in Mechanical Hall on the evening of Thursday, May 29, 1913. The hall was beautifully decorated with gold and white bunting. Refreshments were served in the basement of Parker Hall, and music was furnished by Falken- hainer, St. Louis. The arrangements were made by the Student Council and everything went off in grand style. The graduation exercises took place Friday morning, May 30, in Parker Hall. Although the day was warm and the hall was crowded, those present were accorded a rare treat in the commence- ment address on “Measuring the Output” by Dr. E. E. Sparks, President of Pennsylvania State College, In the afternoon, the unveiling of the Luman Frank Parker statue took place, Honorable John H. Lucas delivering the principal address after being introduced by Ex-Governor D. R. Francis. President A. Ross Hill conferred the following degrees: — - ENGINEER OF MINES Edgar Joseph Wolf, B.S. 1909.

Right here at the School of Mines we have every known style of building design in captivity, and bring the observer, yea, even drag him, through all the architectural eras and periods from the classic Greek and early Roman down through the later Georgian and post-Tertiary. Take the old Rolla Building to start with. Its inception dates back to war times and it was furnished with a little wart of a cupola on top so that the director at that time and Doc. — excuse us we mean the Board of Curators, could see a prospective student miles away and send out and grab him before he had sense enough to struggle. Then the Chemistry Building. It is built along the well known, utilitarian lines of a soap factory, and while there may be some who think that its designer should have given heed to the use that it was to be put to and would have laid it out with some regard fo r con- venience and accessibility, yet the most carping critic must agree that it is a wonderful stimulus for the development of a track team. To get from the laboratory to the stock room, or indeed to any other part of the building, the poor Freshmen must run through every room in the place, go out doors, gallop twice around the building, crawl through a window and slide down the coal chute. Such pro- ceedure, if indulged in frequently gives one a powerful leg and lung action. But in spite of all this, the ivy on the outside of the building is magnificent in the fall. And then the Mining Building, grand old relic of the days when this was a two room school. Now it has a remarkable function to perform. It must house both the Rollamo Board and Professor Dean at the same time. Two such inflammable and excitable objects under one roof is enough to cause any staid old building to worry, so it is no wonder that we find it bulging out in the most unexpected spots with bay windows, re-entrants, escarpments and the like, until the uninitiated is led to believe that the designer was a welsh rabbit insomniac. Pass w T e on to Norwood Hall. It stands up on the hill like a young ladies seminary, or the Carnegie library at Fergus Falls, Minnesota. Sphinx-like it rears its head above the town and sniffs the Ozarkian Ozone with a superior air. Architecturally it consists 54 THE 3flOLLAM m of one large rectangular block, flanked in either side with sem- circular swellings, reminding one of nothing so much as Cubist picture of a “Nude Eating a Double Egg Sandwich.” The mineralogy department should have its quarters in Mechan- ical Hall. It looks just like one of those accursed blocks that the Sophomores throw out the window when they do not know its name. It belongs either to the tetragonal or isothermal system, we forget which, and displays more or less proudly, several pinacoids and macrodomes. It is our candid opinion that its design originated in the mind of Louie Kahns or some one of those Yiddish kings of France. Parker Hall gives one the general impression of a Japanese pagoda just emerging from an overgrown piano box. It is probably reminiscent of the period when the severe lines of the Mission school were giving way to the flowing-roby and sweetly-swelling Oriental view. But when one goes within all this is forgotten. Its marble floors and general sanitary aspect makes it almost as attractive as a Child’s Rest aurant, and if you do not see a neat, white aproned waitress in the offing, you must be patient and remember that you can not expect all modern conveniences at a mining school. In keeping with the characteristic lack of uniformity of our buildings, they are going to build the new gymnasium along the lines of a modern battleship or the Missouri State Penitentiary. Gawd knows there is reason for each resemblance. If C. B. C. ever comes down here again we will need a battleship, and a careful scrutiny of some of our promising young athletes and “football specials” leads one to suspect that they would feel more at home in a gymnasium with barred windows and battlements than any where else. . THk jfcOLLAMO == THE CALL OF THE OLD SCHOOL. There are many places where I’d like to be, But one surpasses all, And that’s to be back at the old school, Strong and stronger comes the call. I’d like to come back to the old school And hustle for eight o’clock class, And take a girl down to Faulkner’s And play with a soda glass. I’d like to sit in the old rooms And hear the Profs work again, Taking the lads from the high schools, And turning them into men. I’d like to be out with a transit Running railroads they never could build; Or down in the Ore Dressing building Running gangue that should never be milled. I’d like to get into my old clothes (And first of all bum a big chew), Then work in some lab. like a Troja n And dope out a method that’s new. I’d like to be back in the old town And walk the familiar streets; Be back in my little hall bed-room And go to the Beanery for eats. I’d like to stroll out to the old cut And walk up the Fort Wyman hill, And go down to the Little Piney Out by the Yancy Mill. rH h j O L UAlVIO Oh, I’d like to be there with them ’Stead of here in the work-a-day strife, To share once again in the pleasures And joys of the college life. In my heart there is ever an aching, A desire to re-enter the fold; On the field, in class-room, in shop-work, Be one of the boys as of old. I ' m longing and a-waiting In my shack beneath the pines, To come back to you, dear mother, Alma Mater! School of Mines.

MINING MAJ)£ LAJT INGLI JACK_ vm rtHh j ULLAMU JUST A FEW WORDS OF ADVICE TO FRESHMEN IN RE THE COLLEGE WIDOW. Above all things, my son, meet them; for they are the joys of your college days and withal, a fount of wisdom. Truly I say, one of the old girls pulling for you will mean more to your campus advancement than an early education and a purse full of shekels. Don ' t seek to pick one! Meet them all and one will adopt you soonly — aye, even pull the hair of her sisters for your possession. Don’t try to put over the high brow line. She has met many a wiser man than you, and remember that your innocence is its own protection. When you take Field Geology don’t second-hand the information to her when you stroll out the lane. Every Junior in the past decade has done the same, and she knows all the faults of the locality and grew up alongside the fossil beds. When you take her to dances let her handle her own card. She knows more about rustling dances than you ever will. Don’t knock the other girls when talking to her. Kipling was thinking of Rolla when he wrote “The Colonel’s lady and Judy 0’ Grady are cousins.” Even though there are autos in tow T n, don’t hesitate to suggest a buggy ride. The car hasn’t been made that will go with the control wrapped around the whip-so cket. And now for the great Masonic secret of the fusser. Tell her frequently (I w T arn you, don’t write it) that she is the only girl in the world, and the most beautiful (she knows better, but still she likes it), and call her “dear” every little once in a while. Then will she love you and miss you from commencement till the fall campaign. What more could you ask ? Dean calling the roll in Calculus: Dunam-present! ou ought to be a good man to collect bills.” Dean to Ashdown: I will have to get ahold of you and shake the ash down.” And when he proposed did you tell him to see me.” asked Mrs. W.
