LAWRENCE MelaIlnrgi.rt and Acling .Sizperinlendent The laboratories ofthe Mississippi Valley Experiment Station ofthe U. S. Bureau of Mines are maintained on the campus. The activities of this station are of a general character, covering the lead and zinc fields of the Mississippi Valley and dealing with problems of a mining, ore dressing, or metallurgical nature which arise in the lead and zinc industries, the solution of which problems would tend to increase etl-iciency, encourage economic development and prevent waste in the territory served by this station. THE STATE MINING EXPERIMENT STATION MARTIN H. THORNBERRY B.S., Met.E. Associate Professor of Melallzuggical Research in Charge gf Smfion It is the object of the station to conduct such original researches or to verify such experiments as relate to the properties and uses of mineral productsg to investigate the engineering problems connected with the mineral industry, the economic methods of mining and the preparation of mineral products, the methods of preventing waste of the mineral resources and the methods of preventing accidents in mines, mills, and smeltersg to assist in improving the conditions surrounding the labor in mines, mills, and smeltersg and such other researches or experiments as bear directly upon the application of mining and metallurgical engineering to the mineral industry of the State of Missouri. The new building which occupies a space of about 110x125 feet between Parker Hall and .Tackling Gymnasium is the Mississippi Valley Experiment Station of the United States Bureau of Mines. The plan ot' the building is H shaped, making it essentially in two parts connected by a passageway. The front wing is occupied by the otiices and fine research laboratories ofthe Bureau of Mines on the ground Hoot, by the Mining Department of The School ofMines on the top floor, and the ofhces and laboratories ofthe Sta te Experiment Station in the semi-basement. Most ofthe rear wing is occupied by a laboratory 28x80 feet on the ground Hoot and extending the full height of the rear wing. The equipment is complete with heavy machinery and apparatus for large scale experimental work. It includes a ten-ton Milwaukee floor operated traveling crane. ln the north end ofthe rear wing are the electrolytic and the electro- thermic laboratories. In the semi-basement is the rock drill testing laboratory. At the south end is the Crusher room, and in the basement below that is the cement testing laboratory of the C.E. depart- ment. MISSOURI BUREAU OF GEOLOL2' AND MINES STATE GEOLOGIST H. A. BUEHLER The Missouri Bureau of Geology and Mines-or The Missouri Geological Survey, as it is more commonly known-has its headquarters at Rolla, and occupies the Rolla Building on the School campus. The Geological Survey has at the present time a library of approximately five thousand volumes and pamphlets on geological and allied subjects, and a museum of seven thousand specimens of clay, coal, barlte, lead and zinc ore, iron ore, and other mme and quarry products of Missouri. The Geological Survey is organized principally to aid in the development of the mineral resources of Missouri. lnformation concerning these resources is gathered through observations in the field by members of the staff, Geologic and topographic maps are prepared of different parts of the State and the various formations are accurately described in accompanying reports. The relation of geology to the ore deposits is also worked out and detailed reports published concerning such investigations. The Bureau, in coioperation with the United States Geological Survey, also maintains a water resource branch for the investigation of water powers and Hood prevention. Page Twenty-nine T HE CIVIL ENGINEER By LYDIA M. D. O'NEIL Safe and sound and sheltered close, in luxury and ease, You count in hours the journey twixt the east and western seas: But when you win the erater's rim, or gaze across the pier, I wonder if you ever think ofthe civil engineer? Before the streams were spanned with steel, before the hills were riven, Before that day of triumph when the golden Spike was driven- Ay, long before the Indian watched the laying of a rail, The civil engineers wcnt forth to blaze the western trail. They floundered through the desert sands, they sought the canon's gloom, That you might know the peaceful strands where winter roses bloom. They climbed the crags where eagles nest, and gave their brain and brawn That you might see the ocean flush beneath a western dawn. And day by day they strode ahead, with transit, chain, and rod, By high ambition onward led where never man had trod. No danger could their footsteps stay, nor death their spirits quail- Those valiant civil engineers who blazed the western trail. Page Thirty They fought their tights with loneliness and cold and thirst and heat, And streams and storms, and left their foes behind them in defeat: They dreamed of whistles ringing down the highway ol' the years- The crowning of the labors ot' the civil engineers. The panther snarled a challenge, and the Indian twanged his bowg And wolves' wild eyes surrounded them when camp fires dwindled lowg But still they fought and dreamed and planned, while days waxed bright or pale, And onward still, with level and rod, they blazed the westward trail. And now above the pantherls snarl, above the lone wolt s wail, VVe hear the sound of rails that ring beneath the whirling mailg And where their Campfires dwindled low, we see the headlight's gleam, And where the Indian twanged his bow, all day the whistles scream. VVe hear the tumult of the towns where once the bison grazedg And shining highways mark the path the dreary labors blazed: The work they wrought endures for aye, and onward through the years Goes echoing the fame of them--the civil engineers!

J UNIORS Pug: Forty-o THE CLASS OF 1927 Unqucstionably, the Junior year at M.S.M. is the most precarious period in the Miner's four years ofuhigher education Call attempts to ascertain height have proved fruitlessj. VVith Freshman Chemistry safely in the background-several of us had a hard time putting it there, too, Precision of Measure conveniently pigeon-holed as not likely to usef' the terrors of theoretical becomeareality,and Power Plants, often the major inspiration of Eve-year men, looms as a menace to the intellectual supremacy of the seniors to be. As a Junior, a man either makes the grade or is consigned as just ordinary. Pledges to the professional fraternities and honorary scholastic societies are usually elected from the ranks of the third-year men. And, then, as a side issue comes St. Pats-more will be said of this laterg any latent Hnancial ability, managerial aptitude, or artistic talent under the surface usually receives recognition at this time. As for class chronicles, why mention exploits already so well known as to receive notice in the St. Louis newspapers? Not so easily contented as Herod with Salome in the singular, we went him one better and were entertained by Salome in the plural. Yvell might Earl Carroll, of Vanities fame, envy our success in staging chic amusemcnts. Our ideas on collegiate diversions have engendered much comment among the younger intelligencia here and abroad. Recognition from the American Mercury has been slow but we are confident of this award in the near future. ln the domain of applicable science, one of our number, conducting an experiment in ice-house engineering, during the Christmas of '24, so seriously competed with the local ice cream plant that a damage suit was threatened, Several features of the St. Pats program were more or less innovationary, the most notable perhaps, a thoroughly sober St. Pat who punctured the supposedly invincible tradition regarding the Patron Saint of the Engineers. The gallant rescue of a pretty high school girl by two ofour more romantic members, surely demonstrated that for Juniors, at least, the practical application of chivalric ideals runs hand in hand with a similiar use of the practical sciences. Somewhat over-burdened with achievement fnotorietyl, the Class of '27, the Stormy Petrol of lVI.S.M. for the last three years, looks forward next year, as seniors, to a year of diligent pursuit of knowledgeg when we can caution the '28's as to carrying-on.

Someone, by his or their authority, causes certain things to be done or not clone, as is seen fit, and the ob-iects towartlwhom these authoritative decrees are directed are either elated or tlejected as the case may be. lt has been the fortune of the Class ol' '28 to be both elated and dejected by Dr. Fultonls ruling to the eFFect that no hazing of new students shall take place. VVe were, to say the least, greatly relieved upon our arrival here last year to find such an order in effect. Wle had heard much to the contrary. But this year we were less enthusias- tic. How a year at college changes one's views along certain lines. NVe now fully believe in the good eflects to be derived from much hazing of ever exultant ulfroshf' Vile did succeed in getting away with a little higher education but freely admit that the new men are rather free in their attitude toward those to whom they should be humble. That is not our fault, however, we insist that we haven't been given sufficient leave to properly enlighten them. U This Sophomore report seems to consist mainly of Freshman StuFF , for which we apologize, but after all, isn't that what the Sophomore Class was created for? There are some other things which invite our attention. Shimmy's course in Precision causes a great deal of discussion among us, so much so that we feel it calls for a place in the category of Sophomore activities. Another thing which we feel strongly is that we are, so to speak, merely marking time. Wie were the center of attraction last year as Frosh and now we are merely resting on our oars before stepping into the limelight as Juniors. Not that we are missing any opportunities now, or slacking any duties: but we feel that we will again be elevated to our proper place when the responsibility of featuring the school's biggest event is placed in our hands. So it has ever been with Sophomores we suppose. You'll hear from us next year, when we hope to show that we have builded well during this, our Sophomore year.

The Sophs were of a mind to prevent us from getting away with anything and so they, working in small and organized groups, made many of us pay, mostly just because we were Freshmen and Freshmen always paid. We were not discouraged, however, and we organized one evening down at the stock yards and, singing the Mining Engineer, marched into town to find the Sophomores and to give them Hell. VVe found them in front of the Metallurgy Building and a good hard fight followed. We lost, finally, as we were not on to the tricks of the game as were the Sophomores. VVe must have impressed the Sophmores because they took good care to shanghai a large number of us the Saturday before the class fight and took good care to get the strongest men. Weakened in numbers but not a bit in spirit the rest of us gathered at the Fair Grounds Sunday night. During the night the Seniors visited us, teaching the Mining Engineer, class yells and telling us a few little stories that were received with great glee. As it was cold and rainy, we built a fire from any wood that we could possibly tear loose from any building in the neighborhood. A few of us made vain attempts to sleep on a handful ofstraw but soon gave up the idea. The night was spent telling stories, jokes and smoking. Monclzly morning, after electing Don Pealer, leader, we marched into town only too willing to give battle to the Sophs. ln front of the Chemistry Building we met them and after fierce fighting were tied by them, as the usual means had been taken to secure victory for the Sophs. After besmearing our legs and faces with flour paste, they put us through the various stunts that made up the circus. Later on we had to get the green caps and on top of that, wear Suspenders, which by this time have become quite comfortable. Some of us who were caught the following weeks without the suspenders, were forcibly removed from our pants to expose the manly beauty of our limbs. Some others who were caught without caps were presented with new ones which were tightly fastened on with glue. To show that we were not dead in the social line, we put on a redhot dance that was proclaimed to be a knockout by everybody. In the line of athletics, we were well represented in every sport, having several letter men on the football team, basket ball team, and wrestling team. Concerning scholarship, we are not slow as the whole class has a good record. And also we have several co-eds whom the upper classmen do not shave, nor in any other of the usual ways bother them. Take it all in all we have made a good history and still are making it. After we have wormed our way through Descriptive Geometry and Chemistry we shall return gladly next yeat to continue to make history for M.S.M. and a better one if that is possible.

A Fighter himself, Mac installed this valuable quality into hisA1925 charges with greater success than ever. Under the skillful guidance of Mac for the past four years there has been a constant improvement in the gridiron elevens at M.S.M. and the 1925 season was convincing evidence of this fact. llVIissouri University and VVashington University were the only teams that stopped 'lMi1C,S,, proteges in an eight game schedule that showed the 1925 eleven to be of at higher calibre than M.S.M. has boasted for il decade. The 1925 season was a success and with Coach McCollum again at the reins, 1926 football at M.S.M. is assured of still greater success. Page Fifty-,tix .. ,iss 'T e,,, , HOLLIS E.

Nou-:N, Sfluarlerbnrk THE IQ25 FOOTBALL SEASQN With the moleskins nestling in storage, and with the last clouds of combat in the distant horizon, the Miners review past historvand discovered what they have already divined, the most successful season of gridiron warfare for a decade in lVI.S.M. history. Enter once more the ancient ghost, the Old Miner Fight, who receives the acclaim as the leading light in the triumphs of the Golden Wave in the season of 1925. Shurtlelf left Jackling Field with a 6-6 tie and a so-called moral victory, while the Miners were still wondering what was wrong. Co-ordination, rather a lack of it, cropped up in this first game, and only the injection of Lee in the last quarter pulled the game out of the fire. Coach McCollum worked overtime on his charges in the interim before the McKendree College fracas, and the results were shown when the Golden Wave became an avalanche that smothered the Illinoisans under a 40 to 6 count. The improvement of the Miners was evident when McKendree forced ShurtleFf to accept a 13-0 defeat later in the season. Page Fifty-:ight S Q ' I . ,M , 1 1 . ..A Y F.. 5 ' x n 'nv-- . R. A. JOHNSON, Guard I. O. LEMON, Hdlfbdfk H. D. THOMAS, Hayback The Miners' cleared denizens of jackling Field journeyed to Columbia the next week and the Missouri Tigers arose in their wrath and clawed the invaders by a 32-0 verdict. The strong reserves that brought the Missouri Valley laurels to the Tigers for the second year in succession proved too formidable for the Miners. The Miners held the ferocious Tigers to fourteen points in the first half, and one of the touchdowns resulted directly from a blocked Miner punt recovered by the alert Tigers on the Miners' 4-yard line. The second halfsaw the Miners succumb to the Tigers' reserves. A sixty-yard march on the opening kick-off by the Miners featured for the McCollum proteges. The Miner gridders completed three successive years without defeat on the home pasture by down- ing the Kirksville Osteopath eleven 21-0 on the following week. The Doctors fell before the combined onslaughts of the L trio, Lemon, Lee and Ledford. Monte Ledford continued his brilliant ball toting by dashing 90 yards for a six-pointer thru the entire Kirksville eleven on a returned punt. Then St. Louis University! Receiving scant pre-game consideration the Miners romped over the Billiken warriors, 14-7, to the tune of the galloping hoofs of the Miners' Four Horsemen, Thomas, Lemon, Lee and Ledford. Lemon chalked up the initial touchdown, following a sixty-yard march in which Monte Ledford broke away for at forty-yard sprint across the chalklines. O'Reilly retaliated ,Ji 'Page Ftfly-nine Monrua LEDFORD, Halfbnrk E. S. GLADDEN, Guard G. C. JOHNSON, Tackle for the Billiltens, and his touchdown and extra point made the count 7 all at half time. The wearers of the gold refused to be thwarted, :ind the third quarter witnessed an 80-yard march over the turf that ended in Lee smashing over for the winning touchdown. The Billil-tens threatened to score more than once, but the Miner line proved equal to the occasion, and gave the home team their first defeat by M.S.M. in eleven years. The Miners' annual heartbreaker again went to the green warriors of irVashington U. by virtue of a lone touchdown in the second quarter. The McCollum clan took the ensuing kickoff and battled sixty yards to the Pikers' 4-yard line, but lacked the final punch to score. A muddy turf, which featured both of the Miner defeats this pzlst season, kept the golden-jerseyed backfleld quartet from performing with their usual brilliance. The next week saw the Miners return to the victory column by downing a fighting Drury Panther with 20-13 as the final verdict. Forward passing became the Miners' offensive weapon when the line plays were halted. Allebaeh's eighty-yard run for a touchdown after spearing a pass flipped by Nolen from behind the goal was the outstanding feature of a spectacular set-to. Morgan and the Leclford brothers were forced to watch the battle from the sidelines, which weakened the Miners considerably Page Sixty H C. Bo1.oN, Tackle G. N. MORG.AN, Tarkle E. YOUNG, Center ln the Springfield Teachers we met an eleven that had only had its goal line crossed once in its previous seven games. The Bears garnered the lead in the second quarter by intercepting a pass that resulted in a forty-yard sprint and a touchdown, and held their advantage tenaciously till the final ten minutes of the game. At this point the Miners pulled a wonderful comeback, and waded through mud and mire for two touchdowns, with Monte Ledford carrying the pigskin. jack Nolen's cool headwork won this game for the Miners when he called for the famous Dutchman, and Caught the Bears flat-footed for the winning touchdown. The Miners' hurricane finish in this game was typical of the 1925 eleven. Therefore do we name this 1925 season of football distinctly a success. Varsity, subs, scrubs, and trainers deserve every bit ofpraise that is theirs by right ofa successful season. The student body went out and gave Old Miner Spirit the glad hand, and we hope the old boy is firmly entrenched at M.S.M. as of yore. Team plus student support always equals success, and the 1925 season has been an epitome of this precept. ' 'kiliiiiiiiiii E ' 1 , ' l J Page S zbriy-na: THE 1925 FOOTBALL SQUAD The Athletic Association awarded thirteen tootball lVI's for the l925 season. Yet the succeess of the team rested on the efforts of more than these thirteen men. At the opening of school over fifty candidates reported to Coach McCollum and went thru their daily practice sessions with a vigor that promised rt battle for positions on the varsity eleven. Obviously all of these fifty odd candidates could not mal-ze the first team but without I1 lighting squad of oil cans and a strong reserve a strong varsity team is impossible. The oilcans deserve a world of credit for their work in developing a sturcly varsity eleven and should he accorded their just due in reckoning the factors that made 1925 a banner football year at M.5.M.

THE OTHER SPORTS 1 TRACK The Miner showing on the cinder path was rather poor in 1925, chiefiy due to the small number of candidates reporting for duty at Coach Dennie's call. Out of this number, pitifully small when the try-outs first began, fifteen men were selected to represent M.S.M. The boys trained hard and constantly for six weeks, and they never stopped fighting till the last race was run. On May 2nd they battled against the fast VVashington University team at St. Louis, in the annual track and field meet. The Bears crossed the line to a 95-36 victory, the Miners placing first in two events, and tying for first in another. The next week the Springneld Teachers invaded the Miner camp, and captured a 92-43 victory. The annual Missouri Collegiate Athletic Union track meet was held at Fayette May 14th and 15th. Six Miners made the trip, and performed with the usual gritty Miner fight that is a tradition with us. McFann took first place in the high jump, and McLaughlin captured third place in the javelin-throw. The 1925 season closed with a meet with Drury at Springfield, which Drury won by a score of 86-54. There was scarcely ever much interest shown at any time in track, but, at the end of the season, several men have been picked to carry on in the spring of 1926. McFann, McLaughlin, Thompson, Buck and Coil were awarded letters. Knox and Runge did some fine work in the Drury meet, and Knox, who will return this year, should do some nice work for the Miners next year. MacFann showed his ability with the spikes consistently, and should be better than ever when the next season opens. Considering the small number of men available, the team did well, they carried on.

M. received an added impetus in 1926 when four meets were scheduled and Sammie Craig, lightweight, went to Oregon as a con- tender in the National A. A. U. VVrestling Meet. To Coach McCanless is due the major credit for establishing wrestling on a strong foundation at M.S.M. Mac , as a developer of grappling material, did an excellent job in coaching Sammie Craig who won three falls and lost a close decision against the 1925 National Champion, out of the four dual meets the Miners had scheduled. 1 Craig had little trouble in pinning rival lightweights to the mat and the referee who ruled against him in the decision bout later admitted that he had erred in giving Craig's opponent the decision. Dave Moulder, Captain-elect for 1927, was a novice at the mat sport at the start ofthe season but soon developed into a sturdy grappler in the bantamweight division. Q Page Sevznty-on: REVIEPV OF WRESTLING SEASON The Miners picked the National Championship team of 1926 to open the 1T1flt season in meeting the OklahornaA. and M. College. As a result the Aggies departed with a 33 to 0 victory. S. Craig seemed to be the only Miner able to cope with the Aggies and he lost a decision when his opponent stalled the entire match to gain a decision. After the bout the referee apologized to Sammie for his decision as it was not in accordance with Collegiate rules. The Miners versus Missouri University saw two well-matched teams battle thru seven matches with the Tigers nosing out the hfliliers by a I4 to ll score. Cammack and Monte Ledford won decisions and Sammie Craig threw his man in a little over two minutes. The Tigers won three decisions and a fall. The Ledford- Boyel middleweight bout was the feature ofthe evening as a rough and tumble fracas. Sammie Craig was the only Miner able to score against Oklahoma University's matmen. Sammie threw the Sooner lightweight entry in less than three minutes. Ledford held a time advantage over his opponent only to be thrown in the last three seconds of the bout. On the last match of the year Coach McCanless'denizens of the mat threw the Vilashington University matmen by a 22 to 8 verdict. Sammie Craig, Monte Ledford, Kirk Cammack, and Dave Moulder pinned their opponents to the mat and Lee tussled six minutes overtime for a decision. Sammie Craig, as usual, hadlittle difiicultyin throwing his opponent in three minutes and eighteen seconds. Ledford fought a gruelling victory in which two overtime periods were necessary to bring the final fall. .

So the cavemen took his counsel, which is ample reason why They were done with being cavemen as the centuries went by, For the tribe became a kingdom which in turn became a state, As men learned to know the meaning ofthe word Cooperate, They cooperated badly-they don't do it well today- But at least it proved much better than the caveman's clumsy way, They were on the road to progress, and their leaders wisely said, You have got to get together if you want to get aheaclnl Man is slow to learn his lesson, but we're learning, bit by bit, l'hat the way to grow and flourish is to use our strength and wit, Not to battle with each other, but to help each otheron, That the paths may seem the smoother which we have to trudge uponq Though at times there is reversion to the days of Fang and claw, VVe are slowly-aye, but surely-coming to the higher law, NVhen we'll cease to brawl and bicker and we'll work as one, instead, For we've got to get together ifwe want to get ahead. Atlman, Editor and Printer, here's a word or two for you, Farmer, Middleman, Consumer, Miner, Operator, toog Those who work with brain or muscle, those who buy and those who sell, If you hope to thrive and prosper in the world wherein you dwell, You must learn cooperation, you must cease to work alone, CWhy, the Caveman stopped that nonsense, just the minute he was ushown. join your forces, be united: for the word is truly said, ' You have got to get together il' you want to get ahead!

Smoking my strong tobacco, humming my happy song, l'm ol-F on the search for the gold I've hoped, the gold I have sought For long But whether I find it or fail once more, whatever my fate deems best, At least l'll have been on the hike again and satecl my tleep unrest. By day in the barren gulches, or up on the snow F1eld's sheen, Or wandering through the valleys, all quiet and cool and green, VVith an ice-cold torrent tumbling over the rocks and sand And maybe a cordial rancher to shake me by the hand, With a welcoming, Howdy, stranger, would you care for a bite with me?,' Then a supper of spuds and bacon whose savor is heavenly, And night comes over the mountains, and the heights and peaks assume A dim and a vague translucence, like shadows ofstately gloom. Sometimes with no walls about me, no roof but the sky above, I lie in my army blanket and ponder on lite and love? Vvell, no, I pull on my briar, I'm held by the night in thrall And I watch the thin smoke melt away and think of nothing at all. Peace to the wide world's worries, they are millions of miles afar, They look as distant and small to me as the uttermost tiny star, And the nightwincl brushes my temples and drowsy visions creep, Into my idle, carefree brain-and then comes a dreamless sleep. My pick is stuck in my belt loop, my pipe is stuck in my trace, lim oft on another prospect, hoping that I may trace Some vein of the yellow metal, or even the red or white, And never was heart more eager, and never were hopes more bright, VVhat ifl never strike it? you ask with a pitying smile, VVhy, friend, the very searching is many times worth the while, For it lifts my troubles from me and l know from the very start, That one sort of gold I am sure to gain-the gold of Il carefree heart!

The determination of every member to do his part, however, coupled with the editor's previous experience in news- paper work, overcame this handicap to such an extent that to the uninitiated no evidence of disruption was apparent. The election of an Alumni Editor from the faculty and the publication of a monthly alumni edition proved to be worthy ideas. Two special editions, the Football Number and the St. Pat's Number, were also well received. , -- .. 11, ' ' ' Eleven men were added to the Board during the year and three resigned, leaving1asAthe personnel of the staff at the close ofthe Miner year in April: kljlarold S.

PLAWERS The M.S.M. Players were organized in the fall of 1921 to fill the long-felt need for a permanent organization to handlethe plays that were produced from time to time. Due to the fact that membership is competitive a strong organization has been perfected. All the members are constantly working to further the success of the organization. Two plays were already given this year with a third play to be given com- mencement. The first of those given was A Full House, given for the benefit of the Booster Club. The second was Thirty Days, given for the benefit of the Junior Class. A The plays have been very successful, not only as good amusement for the students, faculty and tnwnspeople, but also financially. During this last year about 5500.00 has been donated to different student organizations besides meeting the running expenses and outlays for new equipment. A great deal of credit for the success ofthe Players this year is due to the work of Homer Shucks Leonard, their director.

Players this school year was a three act farce comedy A FULL HOUSE. This play was a delightful comedy in which scintillating humor of the rarest kind ran throughout. The situations were humorous and the lines were clever. The audience, throughout the entire three acts, was kept in a happy mood, and the clever knocks of Peanuts Leonard between the lirst and second acts were a surprise which was heartily appreciated. Ruth Cameron and Don Pealer had the leads and were worthy of their parts. The play deals with a young groom who gets into many precarious situations in trying to be of assistance to a friend. The personnel of the cast also included the Misses Helen Baysinger, Queenie Bottom, Beulah Johnson, Josephine Ellis, Louise Barley, and M6SS1'S. O. L. Koch, Robert Campbell, K. H. McFann, Edward Koester, Russell Dittmer. Page Ons Hundred Tm THIRTT DAYS Thirty Days, a three act farce comedy was the play selected for St. Pats. Thirty Days means, as the title indicates, thirty days in jail for John Floyd who subjects himself to this punishment and isolation as a means of avoiding complications with his fiancee and to get away from the ever-threatening Italian, who swears that he will kill John Floyd for making love to Mrs. Polenta, the wife of the Italian. Landing in jail but failing to obscure his identity from his fiancee lends the basis for many laugh-provoking situations. Ruth Cameron and Theron Couch carried the leading parts to perfection. Anne Schaettler, who played the part of Mrs. Polenta, was exceptionally good as also were Doc MaR ae and Mont Ledford in their parts as thugs. The cast, each character of which each seemed ideally suited for his or her part, was composed of the following: the Misses Helen Callaway, Queenie Bottom, Phena Ellis, Ruth Love, and Messrs. VV. K. Schweickhardt, R. L. Campbell, R. C. Dittmer, O. YV. Morris, B. Ballard, YV. East, M. Ledford.

The officers of the Association, with the aid of the local members of the A.I.M.E. obtained one of the best groups of speakers that could be brought together. These men all stand high in the engineering world, many of them being nationally known. The speakers obtained were as follows: Mr. V. H. McNutr, Oil Geologist. Mr. L. A. Delano, Supt. Concentration, Sr. joseph Lead Co. Mr. R. G. Knickerbocker, Smelter Foreman, Transvaal, Africa. Dr. I. F. Kemp, Professor of Geology, Columbia University. Dr. C. P. Berkey, Professor of Geology, Columbia University. Mr. Eugene McAuliffe, Pres. U. P. Coal Co. Mr. A. Garcia, Consulting Engineer, Chicago. Dr. I.. E. Young, Former Director of M.S.M. Dr. M. M. Leighton, Illinois State Geologist. Dean NV. E. McCourt, Sec. St. Louis Section A.I.M.li. Dr. H. Foster Bain, Sec. of A.I.M.E. Most of the meetings were in the form of smokers. Frequently after the speaking a hot lunch would be served. Some of the guests of the Association addressed the student body at assemblies and other occasions. The attendance of the members at the smokers were at all times near IOOQ. The year proved to be one of the most successful in the history ofthe Missouri Mining and Metallurgy Association. The membership consists of all Junior and Senior Miners. Pug: On: Ilundrzd Twrlvr V., .A--- Rf' Sf K., - -ff ' w. YT-tr: .

Soon after its beginning it promoted the first inspection trip for Civil Engineers. At the suggestion of the Student Chapter this C. E. Senior Inspection Trip was made a requirement for graduation becoming effective in 1926, the present year. The purpose of the Student Chapter is to further the study of Civil Engineering in the school. Several engineers prominent in their field have been invited to give lectures on their own particular work. In 1924 Professor C. E. Bardsley gave an explanation ofhis new method of Meridian Determina- tion. Professor C. V. Mann made a talk on the failure of the Apishapa Dam. Mr. C. E. Martin, Consulting Engineer, Chicago, lectured on Opportunities in Civil Engineering. A luncheon was given for Dean M. S. Ketchum at which he gave a report of his inspection trip through the storm swept area of Missouri, Illinois and Indiana. In 1925 we have had talks by Col. F. J. Jonah, Chief Engineer of the Frisco, who gave a slide lecture on the development of transportationg and by Mr. Pritchard, Water Commissioner, on the water works of St. Louis. HONORARY MEM BERS E. G.

VVhile the first and foremost mission of the R.O.T.C. is the procurement of reserve oiiicers, in the prosecution of training to that end the military instruction received by many students who, for various reasons, fail to complete their full qualifications for the Reserve Corps, establishes a by-product asset of con- siderable value to our national defense. As organized at present there are about two hundred and fifty R. O. T. C. units in the leading colleges and universities of the country. These units expect to produce about five tliousand reserve ofricers annually. The unit at the Missouri School of Mines consists of forty advanced course students equally dis- tributed between the junior and Senior classes and one hundred twenty basic students in the ratio of two to one between the Freshmen and Sophomores. The Engineer R.O.T.C. course only is offered at this institution and the successful completion ofthe course leads to a commission as Second Lieuten- ant, Engineer Section, Officers' Reserve Corps. This year twenty students will be so commissioned. Each year the Director, with the approval of the Board of Curators, offers a scholarship consisting of exemption from all fees and desposits required during the Senior year to the Cadet Major of the Battalion. This scholarship was won this year by Cadet Major Birchard. Our unit is organized into a battalion of four lettered companies with battalion staff and company officers. All Seniors are cadet oflicersg Juniors, non-commissioned olflicers above the grade of corporalg Sophomores, corporals or first-class privates. An organization of this type attempts to carry out the scheme of class organization and distinction and was introduced at the beginning of this school year' The practical instruction is given at eleven o'clock each VVednesday which is the common assembly hour for the entire unit. Leadership is emphasized by allowing the cadet oHicers and non-commissioned ofiicers to conduct the entire drill with the instructors supervising the proper execution. A printed outline is given each cadet ofiicer at the beginning ofthe period stating the movements to be taken up, explained to and executed by his command during the hour. This outline has previsously been briefly discussed, ifnecessary, with the cadet officers in a period preceding the actual instruction which insures unity of instruction and interpretation. By this method, the student receives well directed instruction in leadership and the ability to appear before others in a well poised manner. Counter to the general impression that the R.O.T.C. teaches only how to drill, the fact should be more widely known that some twelve subjects are taught during the course that have a very material value to a student entering a technical profession irregardless of his military training. Of the four hours per week devoted to military instruction by each advanced course student, three are devoted to this type of instruction while one is used in the technique of drill. The attitude of the students in the unit this year has been excellent, the interest shown in their work and the manner of performance of their duties would do credit to any Regular Army organization. Page 011: Hundred Twmlyjfiwe MEMOIRS OF CAMP LIFE AT FORT SNELLING, 1925 QAS recollected by one of the Minersl After driving through rain and Wisconsin lakesg after Serving jail sentences in Northern Missourig and after endeavoring to speak forty languages in order to learn the direction of Port Snelling, the Miners arrived at camp only to discover that dry bread and bologna was to be the menu for the three ensuing days. But we were finally put on the 71 cent ration only to wonder and contemplate whether or not those numerals had been reversed. However the table-hops and scullions, after observing the Texans prepare gallons of that good old English drink, passed the verdict that, out of the 71 cents, the R.O.T.C. got 21 cents and the K. P. got 50 cents. No eats, no workg we did little of either and consequently put on much fat. VVhen the bugle didn't awaken the second platoon at 5 A. M., Sgt. Scott was always on hand to see that we were up and about to get our breakfast. After eating that hearty meal we usually went out for our morning's outing Linder the personal supervision of our dapper young officer from Iowa. This prim and starched shavetail from the land where the tall corn grows then took us out on personally conducted tours of Fort Snelling, pointing-out such points of interest as Major Lentz's Drill Field and Colonel Mummzfs Rifle Pits. In our spare moments we amused ourselves with bridge construction, demolitions, field reconnaisance, and hiking, never neglecting our customary roll and pure milk for starving recruits. But we must not overlook those glorious June nights spent in the arms ofa Swedish maiden who couldn't speak a word of English. She couldn't even say No, and Oh! what bliss? Many nights ol our visits to the Twin Cities ended in the difiiculty of discriminating between these two towns and it usually ended that we were in St. Paul trying to court Seven Corners at one time. And we shouldn't neglect the other three notable spots of recreation and amusement, namelyg Linder the falling Minne- haha, near the Waters of Minnetonka, and in the VVildwood Hall of the VVhite Bear Lake. Contrary to the old adage of killing all but six and leaving those for the R. O. T. C. we enjoyed an instructive summer and the six best weeks of our lives. Any ofthe thirty attendants will gladly recom- mend Fort Snelling as a real place for a summer camp and oliering a line opportunity to realize what camp life and the R. O. T. C. really are. ,,. ..

Kiesler ,QUEEN Qf SAUNT PJTRICK 1926 Page One Hundrzd Tlzirly-jf: Sari PA TRICICS---1926 March the nineteenth proved to be the biggest day of the year for all M.S.lVI. students. Daily toil was stopped and all loyal engineers paid homage to the one and only Saint Patrick, who, as every one knows visits the school annually on the day when he showed his engineering ingenuity and drove the snakes out of Ireland. Such an accomplishment only deserves the utmost attention and so his visit is indeed an honor which kings could not refuse. What could be a more picturesquescene than that when the venerable bard approached the fair city of Rolla on that silvery highway-the great Frisco R. R. Indeed most of the loyal enthusiasts wept with joy upon seening their far-famed leader. After being welcomed to the city, St. Pat and the Parade proceded through the main streets and ended at Parker Hall. Whence St. Pat extended greet- ings to the school and to the guests. It has been said that some of the audience were unkindly whisper- ing about that behind the mossy Visage of the old man, some resemblances of Mr. Ralph Hilpert could be distinguished, but that must have been merely a rumor. To the surprise of everyone, that ancient and famed ninth wonder of the world-the Blarney Stone-had been guarded all year and was brought to the ceremony safely. The entire credit for this noble deed goes to the Quo Vadis Kid:-J. In due form, St. Pat, knighted, presented with anpin and sheepskin, and reprimanded in a fatherly way, all his senior sons. After the last one had smacked the Blarney Stone in due reverence the ceremony ended. The afternoon was enjoyed by seeing the play Thirty Days presented in Parker Hall by the M.S.M. Players. The play was acted with no little ability and it was received with great applause. That night, St. Pat's Ball rivaled in beauty and splendor all those of his previous visits. The Gym was turned into a joy hall of wonder, shamrocks, etc., together with a pleasant arrangement of shadow and color combination lighting effects. The cold rainy evening was forgotten and the gay participants were out for the thrill ofa life-time. Such pretty guests! Fair damsels from the world over came to help make the celebration a bigger and better one and if it were not for these joy makers the dance would not have been what it was. Now and then a couple would pass down the floor-what a wonderful pair! Perhaps they have been lovers since childhood. Others are not so fortunate having only met their dates the night before. At eleven-thirty, St. Pat appeared on the scene, the crowd giving way as he approached his throne. The participants were commanded to kowtow and shortly followed the stately entrance of Miss Helen Baysinger-St. Pat's Queen, 1915, Miss Helen Underwood-St. Pat's Queen, 1925 and the Maid of Honor, Miss Lorraine Love, with their escorts. The crowd remained at kowtow when the Queen began to enter, but refused to remain kowtowed at so magnificient a Queen as Miss Dorothy Keisler. She moved down the aisle until she came to the throne, before which she knelt and was crowned Queen of Love and Beauty for the 1926 St. Patis celebration, by St. Patrick. The Grand March followed and the dancing was resumed. The mass of costumes caused one high conglomeration of colors. Some of the merry-makers' costumes were not made for winter wear and strangely enough the costumes were always worn by girls. A smile, a laugh, often a string of pearls or beads made up the larger part of some female costumes. Even that venerable Saint was seen to have blinked his eyes in shame upon looking at some fair damsel's outfit. However, a great celebration was at hand and costumes were forgotten in the merriment that followed. Many a gentleman was seen to have wearied out and drop to the side lines, only to be helped to other parts and revived by some good Samaritan through that wonder working swamp root known to all joy seekers. At times only a few lights glowed in a beautiful darkness and much confusion followed. People danced with strangers and often one could hear a partner calling to its lost mate. However sunshine follows rain, and various bright color com- bination of lights would follow and dancing would proceed in an orderly manner. Now and then an orchestra player would jump up and play like fury, while other fellow players were lifted back onto their chairs, so they could continue the good work. After playing in this fairyland until the crack of clawn, the music stopped, and the Ball was over. Page On: Hundred Thirty-fix l The following morning was not appreciated by most of the celebrators, after the strenous night before. The afternoon was spent in complaining of sore feet and talking about the wonderful time that was had by all on the previous evening. At nine-thirty the Gym was once more thrown open to the revellers and the Junior Prom was on its way. Since the dance is very formal, most of the gay recklessness of costumes of the Ball was con- spicuous by its absence. See that boy over there ?-last night he was the red-necked cowboy, who seemed to be quite a bull thrower, but now gaze upon the stately figure clothed to perfectness in black and white-and that fair lady draping his arm-why she was no other then the lady known as Lou, but clothed with a beautiful gown fringed with pearls, she rivals the wonderful Helen of Troy. A M.S.M. student is unbelievable in formal dress and it seems as tho all the old traditions have been shattered. With the orchestra producing delightful effect with the corner and saxophone, the crowd danced as they never danced before. Everything seemed too good to be true. However, after the bell had tolled three times, Cinderellas vanished with their Princes and all was silent again. Thus ended the celebration of the coming of that great bard-Saint Patrick. After much sobbing and farewells, the guests departed for unknown parts and Rolla once more became a tomb of silence. FINIS.

I hold that in a world of men Where money buys the things we need, That he who toils with pick or pen Should hold in scorn not gold, but greed! That he should have his just return From work of hand or brain and nerves, But let his effort be to earn I-Iis recompense as one who serves. We all must serve, it is the test Of high endeavor and of worthg And he who does his job the best Is one of any breed or birth Who, holding high or low estate, Visions the labor he can give As part of that long war with fate To make this life more fit to live. This is my creed, and though it brings No swollen wealth, I hope to find I shall be paid with richer things- Love and content and peace of mind, And if, in all the rough world's stress From this, my creed, I do not swerve, I hope to sum my life's success .

WOODS, Proprietor and Editor f THE CONUNDRUM OF THE POWER PLANT BY BERTON BRALEY When the smooth-tongued salesman comes around with his talk of some new Which he says is the niftiest thing on earth and worthy of twice its price, He may be telling the gospel truth as clear as the light of day, But the wise man mutters behind his hand, It looks good, but will it pay? For the test of a grate, a metering device or recorder of CO Is never its looks or the salesman's talk, but rather what it will dog So the wise man gazes at plats and prints and hears what the salesmen say, But quietly figures the costs and sighs, It looks good, but will it pay. Or the man from the central station comes, and a plausible chap is he, And he wraps himself in a mist of words like a roseate rhapsodyg He would junk your plant, and he'd sign you up on a contract right away, But the wise man murmurs in accents low, It looks good, but will it pay? Efhciency experts dope things out on the latest and smartest plan, They count the strokes of each piston rod and the motions of every mang device, And they're frequently in right in their scheme of things and the logic that they display But the wise man nevertheless exclaims, lt looks good, but will it pay?', Now thtre's room for progress in every plant, and the mossback's just a fool, And the man who balks at the thought of change is worse than a stubborn m But the show me chap has the right idea and never goes far astray VVhen he puts each change to the acid test- It looks good, but will it pay?
