Ml O ii The Record of the Year of the Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy Rolla Missouri FCREWCRD Upon the mining engineer falls the mighty task of developing the earth’s natural resources. A difficult task, to be sure, and yet one that is not without its romance and glamour. In trackless forests, deserts, and barren mountains he will be found directing vast mining opera- tions; oftentimes working under enormous handicaps; sometimes braving the dangers that confront the explorer and pioneer. Nothing daunts him; with resourcefulness and daring he faces and overcomes the obstacles placed in his way, never failing to supply civilization with the metals that it needs. So throughout this book we have endeavored to give to the mining engineer the recognition that is only his just due for the services that he performs for mankind. CONTENTS I Faculty II Classes III Athletics IV Organizations V Features VI Advertising DEDICATION We, the 1930 ROLLAMO BOARD, in behalf of the mining engineering students, wish to express their appreciation of one who has striven to instruct them in their chosen profession; one who has always been willing to counsel and advise them; and one with whom it has been a pleasure and inspiration to co-operate — to Carroll Ralph Forbes, Professor of Mining, we dedicate the 1930 ROLLAMO. CARROLL RALPH FORBES Parker Pall Ncrujood Hall As a metal Iron has played a vital part in the history of civiliza- tion. In mining the vast quantity of it needed the mining en- gineer performs a great service to man- kind. Faculty CHARLES HERMAN FULTON, Director EM., School of Mines Columbia U-, l8?7 CSc.

Athletics I ■ - The Squad TRIBUTE AND PROPHECY Hats off! The band has played Silver and Gold 1 ’ and ts swinging into the Mining Engineer” for the last time during the 929 gridiron season. Hats off! Thus we pay our tribute to a Miner team that has nearer approached the heyday of our 1915 football glories than any of several season s- — thus we pay our tribute to the coaches and reserves who made this powerful eleven possible So the 1929 gridiron curtain has been run down, leaving the student body with the pleasant sense of having supported a victorious team, and looking forward in antici- pation to the 1930 series of melees. And of the twenty-one let ter men, only two will be lost through the diploma route Then, too, there will be the usual gleanings of new and good material What better auguries of victory could there be than these — when the Golden Wave will have become a reality rather than a name? Hats off again. Miners! The band, again, is playing Silver and Gold.” It is 1930, and the sound of leather meeting leather is heard on J adding Reid A veteran Miner team is enlargening upon the great work of 1929 by disposing of a tougher schedule with a clean slate of victory. Let this be our prophecy. Page Fiffy-s x Harold Grant Director of Athletics ami Head Coach Junior Brown Assistant Coach William R. Rapp Assistant Coach Page Fifty-seven lacy, guard ; captain hassler, fullback ; Schofield, halfback ; thornton, quarterback Miners 13 — Kirksville Teachers 12 In the early stages of this game the Teachers ran through the Miner line and around the ends almost at will. During the first three quarters they succeeded in scoring two touchdowns, but failed to make the trys for points. With about ten minutes to play and a twelve point lead to overcome, the Miner gridman began to play real football. Led by the plunges of Thornton and the passing of Hassler, the Miners fought and tore their way to two touchdowns. The successful try for one of the goal points won the first game of the season for them. Miners 6 — Lombard 7 The Miners lost their first home game of the season when a fast eleven from Lombard emerged from the contest on the large end of a seven to six score. The Miner team played splendid football throughout the game, but were unable to account for more than one touchdown, while the wide kick in trying for the extra point prevented them from tying the score. The Lombard victory was due entirely to the playing of Nichols, a fast little quarterback. He took the Miners ' kick-off for the second half well down in his own territory and ran through the entire Miner team for a touchdown. Thornton starred for the Miner eleven with his consistent ground-gaining line plunges. Page Fifty-eight Tomlinson, center ; runuer, end ; sturm, tackle ; yarber, tackle Miners 73 — McKendree o McKendree offered a very weak defense against the Miners, and the score indicates how this weakness was taken advantage of. The visitors brought a crippled team to battle against the Crimson Wave, and several injuries during the game placed them at a still greater disadvantage. Throughout the game the heavier Miner team completely outplayed the McKendree eleven. Touchdowns were made frequently, and with very few plays. Every man who suited up for the Miners was able to get into the game. Miners 19 — Central o The Miners were successful in getting away to a flying start in the race for the conference title when they upset the Central gridmen to the tune of 1 9 to 0. The Miners put forth a steam roller attack that soon had the title-holding Eagles gasping for breath. , , , The Miner eleven seemed to function almost perfectly, both on the defense and trie offense. They played excellent football throughout the contest and were able to take advantage of all the breaks that came their way. Passes proved instrumental in adding many yards for the Miners, although most of the gains were made through the line. Hasster and Thornton proved a good combination to crash through the line for gains. The Central strong line soon weakened under the strain. Hyland distinguished himself in broken field running on several occasions. The real strength of the Miner team was tested in this tilt with one of the strongest teams in the conference. Fifty -nine KOCH� tackle ; kirkpatrick, center; kelly, halfback; gibson tackle Miners o — Westminster 12 The Miners were tumbled from their lead in the M. C. A. U. conference by the fast playing T hard hitting Blue Jays from Westminster. Boyd, outstanding star quarter- back for the Blue Jays, again led his team to a well-earned victory over the Miner repre- sentatives. His long punts far outreached the best efforts of the kickers for the Miner eleven, and his deceptive plays, aided by his shifty running, counted much toward a victory for his team. In spite of Boyd’s playing, the Miners succeeded in holding their own in yards from scrimmage but seemed to lack the vital punch when it was most needed. The Miners were within easy scoring distance several times but each time lost the ball by a fumble or an uncompleted pass. This defeat upset any Miner aspiration for the title in the M. C, A. U. conference. Hassler and Schofield were most successful in adding yardage for the Miners in this clash, while Hassler passing also proved of much value. Page Sixty hyland, halfback; malik, end; williams, quarterback ; londrigan, end; ANDRES, guard Miners 28 — Talequah o The Miners journeyed to Oklahoma and showed the Northeastern State Teachers just how football was played in Missouri. All during the game the Miner passing machine was functioning almost perfectly. Hasslcr did most of the passing, while Malik was usually on the receiving end. Except for the very first part of the game, the Rcdmen were on the defensive practically all the time. The game was played in Muskogee before one of the largest crowds of the season, and was scheduled as a Y. M. C. A. benefit. Miners 19 — Drury 27 Doped to win by several touchdowns, the Miners suffered defeat in the last game of the season with Drury. Over-confidence and a very weak pass defense permitted the Panthers to win the thirty-third annual contest between the two colleges. The Miners more than doubled the yards gained by the Panthers from scrimmage, but their inability to stop any kind of a pass over the line cost them the game. The Miner line was firm enough, and all of the touchdowns made by Drury were from passes. Schofield was the most consistent ground gainer for the Miner eleven, and particu- larly starred in running back kicks, Thornton continued to play his usual hard-hitting game with excellent results. Page Sixty ane Page Sixty-two Basketball-- 1930 As far as the actual winning of games is concerned, the Miner quintet had a very unsuccessful season, but there is more to a sport than that. In spite of the fact that the Silver and Gold were driven down to defeat on numerous occasions during the past season, the students and rooters showed a brand cf pep and enthusiasm that has not been witnessed around here for some time. Even when the score was doubled in favor of the opponents the backers cf that Golden Wave never at any time ceased to voice their encouragement to the fellows who were doing their best for the Alma Mater. The fellows in turn did their share on the floor; they never let down once in their efforts to secure a victory for the Miners. Coach Rapp was forced to build up the best five possible around the three letter- men who were back from last year. The team started the season right by gaining a narrow edge on Drury and another from Tarkio, but after these games the whole squad seemed to hit a slump from which they emerged only at times. In view of the fact that of the nine men recommended for letters by Coach Rapp not one of them will be lost by graduation and all will be eligible to compete next season, wonderful results are expected in 1930-31, Summary of the games: Dec. 14, Concordia 38 — Miners 20. In the opening game of the season the Miners looked great. Jan. 10. Shurtleff College 47 — Miners 23. An early season game which conditioned the fellows for the conference games which were to follow. Jan, 18. Miners 33— Drury 32. The Miners really hit their stride in this game. It was a closely contested clash which instils enthusiasm into any student. Jan. 25, Springfield Teachers 34 — Miners 27, The team went into a slight slump which, plus the small court used by the Teachers, forced the Miners to take a back seat. Jan, 29. William Jewell 40— Miners 32, The Golden Wave started out fast and gained a good lead, but their defense became ragged near the end of the contest. Jan, 31. Tarkio College 36 — Miners 27, After arriving in Tarkio about an hour before the game the men were not capable of playing their best. Feb. 1. Miners 14 — Tarkio 9. Coach Rapp had his men change to a slow breaking offense. The result — an easy victory for the Miners. Pane Sixty four Basketball, Continued Feb. Feb. Feb, Feb. Feb. Feb. Feb, Mar, 5.

The squad participated in five meets during the season, but did not win a single one. However, this deplora e condition cannot be blamed upon the team which represented the school, but rather 1 is the fault of the conditions under which the coaching staff had to work 1 hose students who were here will remember that there were five letter-men in school who would not go out for track, due to certain troubles which arose over the failure ot the Athletic Association to present gold basketballs to several of the basketball men who had served their school on the courts for four years. However, all of that is neither here nor there, but it does explain to some extent the poor showing made by the Miners. The team was composed mostly of Freshmen and Sophomores, and to these men we pay tribute. They fought hard and well, but their willingness was of little avail against teams of three and four years training. Season ' s Record DRURY vs. MINERS April 2% found the Drury track squad taking an interesting and hard-fought battle from the Miners. The veteran track stars of Drury outclassed the Miners in the track events, but the field honors remained with us. Johnson of the Miners had a wonderful day, and was high point man of the meet. He took two first and two second places. Robb of Drury got a close second place with three firsts. Davis, Carpenter, Monroe and Barth made good showings for the Miners and great things are expected of them in coming years.

M. In spite of the inclement weather the meet was a most interesting one and the ram- soaked crowd stayed until the very end. This meet held the same sad story for the Miners; just a matter of inexperienced men losing to veterans of many meets. Westminster took first honors with 7 points. Central Wesleyan was second with 4 7 points, while the Miners managed to amass a total of 2; points. Me A nelly of the Blue Jays took the high point man’s honors with a total of 18 points. All in all, it was a good meet, and afforded excellent experience to our team. SUMMARY OF EVENTS too-yard dash — Thurman, (C), 1st; Hrasie, (C), 2nd!

Page Sixty-nine 1929 Track Review, Continued SPRINGFI ELD TEACHERS vs, MINERS May 3, i 9 29, The Teachers met a bigger and better team than any we had placed on the field throughout the spring, and it was only after a hotly contested meet that they were able to depart winners by a very slight margin. The Miner team snapped out of it, and took six first places with a great many more seconds and thirds. Again Johnson hit his stride and came out high point man of the meet with a total of sixteen points. Begins to look as if the old Miner spirit was coming back, and the prospects seem even brighter for the future teams.

Pd e Se tettfy Intramural Boxing The entire student body met the introduction of boxing to the intramural con- tests with the greatest of approval. The ever blood-thirsty Miners turned out for these bouts in greater numbers than had ever before been anticipated. It was necessary to make special seating arrangements for the huge crowds which attended the final bouts. The matches brought out some real material: clean, hard fighters of whom we can safely say will be more than capable of representing the school in intercollegiate meets should the opportunity ever present itself. Coach Brown, Director of Intramural Athletics, should be most heartily congrat- ulated upon introducing one of the most popular of intramural sports. CHAMPIONS Light-weight — McKee, E.

Page Seventy-two Page Seveniy bree Intramural Basketball An unusual amount of interest was manifest in the intramural basketball games this season, A very noticeable improvement in the caliber of the teams was evident. Though the crowds were small, most of the contests were close and fast. The Prospectors and the Lambda Chi fives held the upper hand throughout the season The Prospectors broke first by losing their only game to the Sigma Nus, but they retaliated bv defeating the Lambda Chi team in a later game. Both teams finished the regular schedule with only one loss chalked up against them. In the play-off for the championship, the Prospectors again meted out defeat to the hard fighting Lambda Chis, The final standings: Fraternity Won Lost Percent Prospector 8 1 888 Lambda Chi Alpha 7 2 777 Pi Kappa Alpha 5 5 62$ Bonanza 5 3 62s Mercier ■■■ 4 4 500 Sigma Nu ■■ 4 4 500 Kappa Sigma 2 6 285 Triangle . 1 7 143 Kappa Alpha 0 8 000 193€ Handball Tournament At the time of going to press the handball tournaments for 1930 were nearing a close. Much interest was manifest in this indoor sport this season with nearly eighty entrants in the tournament. The first rounds were run off in rapid succession and the games soon narrowed down to a few of the more successful players, Hassler ousted Offutt from the race in the semi-finals of the singles and will have to meet the winner of the Schofield-Tiefenbrun match for championship honors. Schultz, champion of last year’s matches, who was eliminated from the race early in the tournament, failed to put up the expected fight to retain his title, Pertici and Tiefenbrun, double champions last year, had little trouble in winning their bracket all the way through to the finals, but they will have to defeat Hassler and Schofield to retain their honors.

The founders were not denied opportunity to become associated with some of the dozen fraternities of the time at the University of Virginia, but three of them, McCormick, Rogers, and Nicodemus, had been close friends as young men in Baltimore. They wanted to be together and under the leadership of McCormick decided to found an organization of their own. The relations of these three and Arnold and Boyd were so close, they have always been known in the literature and tradition of the fraternity as the five friends and brothers.” OFFICERS A. P.

What is regarded as the first meeting of the fraternity was held November 2, 1909, and this has been accepted as its date of founding. The meeting was called to consider the reorganization of the club into a Greek-Ietter society. When the club rejected the Greek- letter proposition, three conferees who had been members of the same high school fraternity immediately started to lay the foundation of the new fraternity.

Young Page One Hundred Six Phi lappa Phi Phi Kappa Phi was founded at the University of Maine in 1897, principally by the efforts of Dr. A. W. Harris, then president of the university. Conceiving the idea of expanding this society into a national organization, he consulted with several college presidents, including President Atherton of Pennsylvania State College and President Dabney of the University of Tennessee. These three took immediate steps toward the formation of chapters in their own institutions. These three institutions are represented on the seal of the society by three stars. Phi Kappa Phi is an honor society composed of professors and graduate and under- graduate students elected from all departments of the university or college in which a chapter is located. Its primary object is to emphasize scholarship in the thought of college students, to hold fast to the original purpose for which it was founded, and to stimulate mental achievements by the prize cf membership. The Missouri School of Mines chapter was installed in 1920. OFFICERS Professor E. W. Carlton, President Dr. G. A. Muilenberg, Vice-President Professor F. G. Farnham, Sec y-Treasurer Dr. L. E.

Harkes Officer Monney Thubcr Royer Mrs Fleming Clara Ralston Vera Vernon Dorothy Swain Mrs. Pembroke . Lucy Kiesler The first production of the year by the Players was most enthusiastically received by the student body. It was acclaimed by many to be the best ever seen at M. S. M. George Howell, bride-groom of one day, leaves his wife to go on a business trip. The purpose of said trip is to recover his client’s love-letters frem one Vera Vernon, a designing chorus-girl. The client, Ned, has fallen in love with Daphne, sister of Howell’s bride. The venture is a success and everything would have been great but for a train wreck. Howell had told his wife, Ottily, that he was going to Cleveland, but instead he went to Boston, While returning, the train had a smash-up and in the confusion Howell gets the grip of Nicholas King, which contains a pearl necklace stolen from Mrs, Pem- broke, Ned’s mother. When he comes home Ottily finds the pearls before Howell and, though greatly in love with him, she suspects him of being a thief and tries to reform him. He is innocent of any wrong and refuses to be reformed. Enter Mr, King in search of his necklace. He approaches Susie, the maid, and telling her that he is a detective, gets the promise of her help in recovering the necklace. He has taken Howell’s grip and found Ned’s letter to Vera in it. Bargaining with Howell, he gives him the envelopes for the grip and later discovers his error. Meanwhile, Ned has been clamoring for his letters, Vera clamoring for them, or else , Ottily reforming Howell, and Daphne falling for Ned. Of course Mrs. Pembroke appears after receiving a ’phone call from Ottily regard- ing the whereabouts of her pearls, and gets them from King who got them from Susie who got them from Ottily who got them from Howell who got them from King who got them from Mrs. Pembroke, King gets the reward and splits it with Susie and drops his detective badge on the floor.

On the Hiring Line, 9 in three acts By Harvey O ' Higgins and Harriet Ford Wednesday evening, March 12, and Saturday afternoon, March 14, Parker Hail CAST Steve Mack Rex Pinkley Ronald Oliver J, T. M. Smith Ritchie Timber Royer Mrs. Ritchie Phillis Hackman Sherman Fe cnden C. E. Wilhite Rosalind Dorothy Denison Dorothy Blanche Bradford William Capron J. J. QfFut Pansy - Lillian Gibson The yearly frolic dedicated to St. Patrick did not want laughs and good times thanks to the efforts of the Players. The scene is laid in New Jersey, 1 19, in the country home of Mr. Sherman Fessen- den, business-man extraordinary and one-time ardent lover. His second wife is an actress who, though susceptible to her husband ' s love making is rather indifferent to his business ability; furthermore she hates the country. The trouble begins with the servant problem just following the close of the war. The difficulty being that no servant will stay at one place for more than a week, Steve, a chauffeur at Mrs. Capron ' s across the way, has stayed for a month and is suspected of being a detective. Whereupon Fessenden receives a brain-wave and boldly announces to his wife, Rosalind, that he, mighty man that he is, can solve the servant problem, Rosa- lind languidly consents and forthwith two detectives appear upon the scene disguised as butler and cook. But Mr. Ronald Oliver from the wild, wild West, gifted (or cursed) with an English accent, bursts in upon this peaceful New jersey homestead and begins to cause things to happen. Mr. Oliver was acquainted with Rosalind when she was on the stage, but the poor soul is in a hole, so to speak, and has no job nor any prospects of getting one. He inno- cently approaches Rosalind with the idea of working about the place to regain his health. Incidentally she reads him a love-letter written to her by Fessenden which is so insanely awful that Oliver makes a copy of it to use in a vaudeville sketch he is working on. The detectives find the copy in his handwriting and show it to Fessenden who ac- cuses Rosalind of an affair with Oliver. Mrs. Capron ' s deserting husband returns under Fessenden ' s influence to have another bout with his wife, Steve, very much in love with Dorothy, Fessenden ' s daughter by his first wife, gets mixed into the trouble by the in- quisitive butler and generally things go from rotten to worse. As usual, everybody gets the low-down on everybody else and everybody is happy when the third round ends. Page One Hundred Eight ten Military In accordance with the National Defense Act, there has been established at Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy a unit of the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps. Basic military training for two years is required of all students who intend to graduate. Advanced military may be taken by students who have completed the basic course or its equivalent, and have been recommended by the military office. Students completing this work will be commissioned in the Officers’ Reserve Corps. The highest honor that can be received in the advanced course is to be appointed Cadet Major of the Battalion. Through the Director and with the consent of the Board of Curators, the student receiving this appointment is made exempt from all fees and deposits required during the Senior year. This scholarship was won this year by Willard Farrar. The M. S. M. unit is organized into a battalion of four companies with a battalion staff and company officers. Officers and non-commissioned officers are appointed accord- ing to rank from the several classes so that a student receives a higher rank each year as he advances in training.

The Board of Curators has designated a Military Scholarship” for the Cadet Major, and it relieves him from all fees and deposits excepting the students activity fee and the lecture course fee. The Cadet Adjutant is appointed from the same year as the Cadet Major and holds the rank of Captain. He is chosen for his military bearing, smartness of appearance and scholastic attainments. Both Major Farrar and Captain Page have fulfilled the above requirements during tlic four years of their membership in the Reserve Officers Training Corps to a marked degree. Page One Hundred Twenty- four Geld Gold is symbolical of luxury, wealth, and power. The search for it is universal, because it is inherently beau- tiful and possesses great monetary value. In mining the earths supply of gold the mining engineer ren- ders a distinctly valu- able service to civili- zation. Features St- patrick 1930 yt. (j. loiefenbnAn m. |JafsiH13D A MONG the many famous sagas and age-old traditions that have been known, cherished, and handed down through countless generations, none is more widely- known or more zealously guarded and cherished among engineers than those con- cerning St. Patrick, beloved patron Saint of the profession. That the grand old man of engineering was indeed well entitled to the fame and fortune which became his lot, is well attested by the history of his prodigious deeds, foremost among which was the banishment of all evils in the form of snakes from his own Emerald Isle, thereby con- verting it to a Christian land of good cheer. Hurroo! sez he, Oi ve had enough av ye varmints under foot. Be off wid yez, now, lest I tie ycz head to tail f r me ladder to the pearly gates.” Forthwith, the snakes and all forms of evil disappeared forever from Ireland. Since St. Pat holds such unchallenged prestige among engineers, and because his loyal sons at M. S. M. are so extremely fortunate as to possess his affection, we art- honored each year on March 17th by his visit to Rolla. As infants enioy their Christmas- tide, so do Miners revel during the three days set apart for the celebration of St. Pat’s in Rolla. Nor are wc lonesome during this incomparable social event. The cheering influence of an army of charming feminine joy-seekers which invades the town each year brings a state of happiness and good cheer to the heart of each son of M. S. M. that is seldom equalled in a lifetime of festivities. No more perfect or thrilling preface to the celebration of the arrival of St. Pat could have been arranged than the many wonderful house parties which took place at the various fraternities and dubs on the campus Thursday evening. A goodly portion of the powerful mixture of happy anticipation was turned loose on this night which was a continual round of dancing, and cordial greetings to long-lost friends. Joviality was the watchword as the guests of the various houses mingled in the enjoyment of the open -house policy maintained on this evening. Friday morning saw the arrival of the venerable old bard at the new Rolla Union Station. Escorted by a bodyguard of inimitable Q. V. kids, St. Pat descended from his private train” and took his place at the head of a parade which then proceeded through the gay sunny streets of the village toward Parker Hall. All nature seemed to smile on the happy throngs which followed His Highness, and the song of an early robin was heard in double-check” approval of the earthly happiness that abounded that morning. Arriving at the auditorium in Parker Hall, St. Pat delivered a most worthy address to the assembled faculty, student body, guests, and townspeople. No ordinary brilliance of the mind could have produced so splendid an oration as St. Pat presented before the multitude. Welcome to guests, congratulatory regards, cheer, and even admonition Page One Hundred Thirty- were integral parts of his speech.- Immediately following came the knighting ceremony for each of his worthy senior sons. Each aspirant to the honor of knighthood in the order of St. Pat was presented with his skeepskin and royal emblem after having been embarrassed and reprimanded for past deeds. Right reverently did each knight kiss the Blarney Stone at the command of the fatherly Saint. f-riday afternoon saw the guests and members of all house parties again assembled in Parker Hall to witness the presentation of the annual St. Pat’s Play by the M. S. M. Players. The three-act comedy farce, On the Hiring Line, was a characteristic suc- cess, and it added much to the enjoyment of that day among the three in which no dull moment is ever allowed to creep. That moment for which many loyal engineers had lived and hoped for a long year occurred that evening at to o’clock when, from the beautifully decorated gym, the perfectly blended strains of music by a wonderful dance orchestra were heard upon the soft breezes which carried promise of Spring and of unrivaled happiness. Never, in the history of all social functions of M. S. M. had a more colorful, happy crowd of joy- seekers assembled under the emblem of the Shamrock chan at this crowning feature of the whole St. Pat’s celebration— the Masque Ball, so far famed for the happy abandon, youthful glamour and beauty, and the sheer joy which attend its occurrence. On every side of the onlooker were happy couples in state of mind varying from mere joy to utter bliss. Happiness and joyful anticipation reigned supreme in that palace of love and beauty. Midnight, the magic hour, struck, and close upon its echo came the blare of trumpets, which caused an expectant hush to fall over the multitude. The heralds announced the approach of St. Pat, and as he entered in all his glory and dignity, issuing imperious commands to Kow Tow, he approached the throne while the orchestra struck up his favorite ballad, The bearing of the Green. All eyes were then turned to the entrance whence now came an exceedingly lovely procession of the former queens of His Majesty, Miss Dorothy Kiesler. Mrs. J. H. Brickner, Miss Lucy Kiesler, and Miss Elizabeth Long, formed a procession of exceeding grace and beauty. Absolute silence fell after the murmurs of admiration of the lovely ladies of the royal court. Then, preceded by four adorable flower girls and a wee crown bearer, and amidst a great wave of applause, came Miss Madge Lennox, sixteenth queen of St. Patrick. So exquisitely gowned was she, and so great was the glory of her radiant loveliness that the audience was captivated, and St. Patrick himself stepped forth to welcome her to the throne where, during sustained applause the coronation ceremony took place. Following a brief stay upon the throne came a grand march led by Col. and Mrs. Charles L. Woods, in which the entire gathering joined. This marked the end of the most important and spectacular event of a wonderful night of fun. Then on with the dance, and hundreds of gay couples began a varied program of dances to such music as has seldom been heard in Jackling Gym. The full harmony and pep of the music so bountifully One Hundred Thirty- two produced by Herr Hencken ' s Orchestra added greatly to the striking effect of the riot of color in the brilliantly costumed dancers. No description could do justice to the attire of the merrymakers and the gorgeous decorations of the hall that night. Happy characters varying from fairy queens and turkish maidens to gypsy girls and from torea- dors and romeos to infinity, danced merrily on in a palace, the brilliant decorations of which will remain unexcelled in memories of many. Four van-colored spotlights play- ing upon a revolving crystal suspended from the ceiling caused myriad beams of light to frolic about among the happy multitude of dancers below. Not until a faint light on the eastern horizon gave promise of daybreak, did the enchanting rhythm of such numbers as the never-to-be-forgotten Tiger Rag” fade to the smoother waning cadence of Heme Sweet Home, Then did the fading stars in the heavens look down upon the weary, happy couples reluctantly deserting the gym for the soothing arms of Morpheus, Recuperation claimed the major portion of the next day ' s program. Many were the complaints of aching feet and stiff muscles, but as the afternoon wore on, all ailments were forgotten in the enjoyment of the various open-house dances on the campus. These speeding hours of happiness soon brought the guests to the formal dinner-dances at the fraternity and club houses. It is certain that each of these delightful affairs was a glorious success, for when the couples once more entered the gym to participate in the Formal Junior Prom they were in a state of happiness unequalled even by that of the previous night. More beautiful than ever were the ladies on this occasion, and never were beautiful girls more thoroughly appreciated than by the proud Miners who escorted them with spirit and dignity that were akin to the very essence of gaity and yet stood as a contrast which served in no small measure to enliven the interest and satisfy any desire for great variety that might have existed. Though the thought that this was the last night of the celebration caused many a poignant feeling of regret in those who were so whole- heartedly engaged in the enjoyment of the dance, it fostered more strongly the resolve to dance, sing, and love while so excellent an opportunity presented. Dan Cupid experi- enced a great evening. New friendships became firmly established and many were the cases of true love that advanced to an unquestioned status of bliss during the happy hours of dancing and especially pleasing features presented by both orchestra and guests. The Palace of Love and Beaut was again deserted and upon the soft breeze was borne the last echoes of unforgetable hilarity of the guests. It is certain that in the memories of those who achieved unparalleled happiness here. St. Pat’s 1930 will live forever. When another week-end so filled with jolly fun and the happy spirit of youth comes to M. S. M., it will again be St. Pat’s. WESLEY 1 . HARTNAGEL. Page i)ue HtnntrrJ Thirty Military Ball One of the most noteworthy social events of the year was the annual Military Dinner Dance. Needless to say, all of the advanced course military students were there, decked out in full regalia, and prepared for an evening of feasting, dancing, and subtle exchanges of wit. The affair rivaled St. Patrick’s in its glory, and dates. Major Farrar acted as chief toastmaster, and during the course of the banquet Captain Moore and Lieutenant Winslow were prevailed upon to speak in order to sooth that warlike Miner spirit. It was Captain Moore’s last appearance at the annual ball and was thus his farewell address. The huge success of the dinner and dance made it an outstanding affair in the minds of those who were lucky enough to belong to the army,” and will be lone remembered by them.

The rest of the chapter came in from the Triangle House, and, as the pledges hadn’t been properly boarded since day before yesterday, they were called down from upstairs.

Page One Hundred Forty-three Page One Hundred Forty- four Random Interviews With the Fickle Faculty PROFESSOR GEORGE R. DEAN As I anchored my skiff to the Doc” (I forget which one it was who happened to be there) in front of Mechanical Hall, Eric Robot stepped out of the door. Say,” 1 whispered, do you think that Prof. Dean could be interviewed this A.M.?” Have you-all got one of them there X-ray machines?” queried Eric, who was in every sense of the word an engineer. So I shot him and waded through the welter of gore into the Hall. At the foot of the staircase I heard the piteous whining of an assorted collection of dx = Sin. A’s, and so on. They had been used by one of Mr. Dean’s calculus classes, and thrown out of the door by that irate person. Next to them stood a small pony, who was champing impatiently on his bit (he gave his bit during the War, but some- body later gave it back to him) and waiting for his master to call him to use during a quiz. Being quite interested in these queer sights, I stumbled over a match and fell all of the way upstairs. Picking myself up, which is quite a trick in itself, I creeped cautiously down the hall to the sanctum of sanctums and peeked around the corner of the door. An eraser, whining in a high treble note, floated by my ear with the lazy pace of a rifle-bullet. Being prepared for such a reception, I donned my disguise; it being that of one of Einstein’s Relatives. Boldly stepping through the door I confronted Professor Dean, who, at the moment, was gnawing voraciously on a Theory of Thermodynamics. Well, what do you want?” asked he in that suave tone usually reserved for his mathematics classes. My name is Bass, sir,” I replied hopefully, well knowing the old gentleman’s fond- ness for fishing. Who in t ! II x U ? - wants to fish?” He chuckled reminiscently. Suddenly seeming to realize who my disguised self was, the professor bounced out of his chair and shook a finger at me. I’ll make you sing Bass before you get out of here — Einstein was all wrong — why, they had four blackboards completely covered with figures, and I did it all with three simple trigonometric formulae — even rabbits can multiply. And in his flurry of excitement Mr. Dean picked up an old-fashioned telescope which I happened to be carrying with me, and with a hoarse I’ll show you” started pulling out the sections and twirling it in a most alarming manner. When he stopped these peculiar motions, he glanced at it over the tops of his glasses. What in the ” I never heard the rest of it, because he threw me out of the window and went up in a beautiful tantrum. These new tantrums, I’m told, are a very good plane. No trouble at all to fly them. — Anyhow, Professor Dean is a most remarkable man.

The reason for this is quite evident; at that time the natural treasures, especially gold and silver, were the property of the Rulers of the land and were exploited with the labor of captives and criminals. It was the custom to enslave prisoners of war and the worst that could befall a captive was to be sentenced to work in the mines. It was considered ever worse than being sent to the gallows. Little is known of mining during the Middle Ages but by the end of the 16th Cen- tury it had become a relatively important industry. Agricola, a German scientist, pub- lished in 1550 his De Re Metallica, which was translated from the Latin several years ago by Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Hoover. This book represented the first attempt at pub- lishing a technical book on the art of mining, and it remained a standard text on mining and metallurgy for nearly two centuries. Mining was evidently more or less in disrepute even in Agricola’s time, for he devoted several pages to a defence of the industry. It is interesting to note how little human emotions and thoughts have changed during the past four hundred years. In Agricola’s time there were those who condemned the use of metals. Gold was condemned because many crimes were committed on account of it; iron, because employed in making instruments of war; lead, because used, when molten, in certain forms of punishment. Some claimed that because metals were buried in the earth, God did not intend that man should use them, and spoke of wicked men, products of the Iron Age.’’ Today we have those who bemoan our mechanical civilization and the evils of this Iron Age. The unscrupulous mining promoter apparently thrived even in Agricola’s time, and he laid down some simple rules, which if followed today, would save many dollars for credulous investors. He also discussed and exposed the use of the forked stick or divining rod for locating water, which is still used by ignorant and unscrupulous persons. During the lifetime of Agricola there took place the greatest geographical expansion in the world’s history. Most of this expansion was brought about by the lure of gold or the romance of mining. The stories of Cortez, who entered the City of Mexico in 1520, and of Pizarro, who landed in Peru in 15 8, are stories of a search for gold. In fact the early history of the Western Hemisphere is largely a story of a search for gold and an oppression of the peoples found inhabiting it. Fortunately, North America, in part, was peopled by men of a higher type who were in search of freedom rather than gold. It was also fortunate, perhaps, that no gold was found by the early Colonists and they were compelled to resort to agriculture and the soil for a living. Mining, as an essential element, plays little part in early American history, and it was not until the discovery of gold in California in 1849 that this peace disturbing source of wealth greatly affected the population. This discovery undoubtedly advanced the cause of California at least forty years; civilization sprang up as if by magic and soon spread eastward, meeting the westward moving line and opening up a hitherto vast, unknown wilderness. The wealth from the California gold mine and from the great Comstock Lode came at a most opportune time for the nation and contributed in no small way to the re-habilitation cf the country after the ravage of a great Civil War. The American mining industry really dates from 1849. Nitro-glycerine was dis- covered in 1847; the first rock drill was patented in 1850, and thus we have the develop- ment of high explosives and machine drills, so essential to modern mining, co-incident with the development of the industry itself. During the early days of mining we sec Page One Hundred Forty-seven u the dawn of a new industrial era. The use of machinery in mines had its beginning in this period; the first steam pump was used in a Cornish tin mine and the first use of the electric locomotive was for mine transportation. As modern science and invention made new discoveries and perfected new machines the miner has been called upon to furnish more and more raw materials. The develop- ment of the automobile industry created a demand for metals and fuel in tremendous quantities. The electrical industry has called for copper and still more copper. Had it not been for the development of the Utah Copper enterprise by Mr. D. C. Jackhng, which demonstrated the possibility of working low grade deposits, it is possible that the progress of the nation as a whole might have been materially retarded, for one-third of the world’s copper has since come from these low grade ores. In the last decade a new phase of civilization has developed in which the miner plays a still more important part. The replacing of hand labor by the machine in every form of industry is calling not only for more metals from which to manufacture the machines, but for coal and petroleum in quantities undreamed of by former generations. Thus we see the miner contributing continually to this advancement, and without him and the product of his works the new industrial era would soon vanish. In the dry pages of statistics of our mineral product one can read between the lines the history of the industrial de elopment of the nation. Until the year 1880, the metals constituted the most important part of our mineral products. Since that time the non- metallic products have exceeded the metallic in value on account of the increased demand for the mineral fuels, coal and petroleum, until today they represent three times the value of the metals. From an industry of little importance in 1880 there has developed a vast industry second only to agriculture, with a production amounting to nearly six and a half billions annually, and affording employment to two millions of workers. The mining industry, however, has contributed not only metals and fuels, but it has trained in its ranks many men of distinction, one of whom is now the head of this great nation, a mining engineer who had attained distinction as a technician as well as a great administrator in mining, long before he entered the greater sphere of public service. The rise of Mr. Hoover to public position is not an accident. The age is increasingly industrial, and society and government must become more and more inter- ested in industrial and engineering matters. Inevitably, the public will need and demand more and more leadership of its engineers. The engineer of today, therefore, is preparing not only for a private life but he is preparing in many cases for a public one. Mr. Hoover is only the first of a long line of engineers who will be called to public position. CARROLL R. FORBES, Professor of Mining. Pdgc One Hundred Forty-cight M.S.M. Experimental Mine Views 1.

There has been all kinds of gush about the man who is behind — And the man behind the cannon has been toasted, wined and dined. There’s the man behind the musket, and the man behind the fence; And the man behind his whiskers, and the man behind his rents; And the man behind the plough beam, and the man behind the hoe; And the man behind the ballot, and the man behind the dough; And the man behind the jimmy, and the man behind the bars; And the Johnny that goes snooping on the stage behind the stars”; And the man behind the kisser, and the man behind the fist; And the girl behind the man behind the gun is on the list. But they missed one honest fellow, and I’m raising of a kick. That they didn’t make a mention of the man behind the pick. Up the rugged mountain side a thousand feet he takes his way. Or as far into the darkness from the cheering light of day; He is shut out from the sunlight in the glimmer of the lamps. He is cut off from the sweet air in the sickly fumes and damps; He must toil in cramped position; he must take his life in hand. For he works in deadly peril that but few can understand. But he does it all in silence, and he seldom makes a kick, Which is why I sing the praises of the man behind the pick. He unlocks the bolted portals of the mountains to the stores; Hid in nature’s vast exchequer in her treasure house of ores, He applies a key dynamic, and the gates are backward rolled, And the ancient rocks are riven to the secret heart of gold. Things of comfort and of beauty and of usefulness are mined By this brave and quiet worker — he’s a friend of humankind; Who though trampled down and underpaid, toils on without a kick So I lift my hat in honor to the man behind the pick. Page One Hundred Fifty Page One Hundred Fifty-one Paradise Lest When Prospector Bill tired of earthly existence, Of tramping the hills and the deserts with Fate, He gave up the struggle with little resistance And hit the lone trail to the great pearly gate. St. Peter, one eye at the Peep-hole, espied him; And what have you done to earn rest in the fold? Bill answered, with visions of Heaven denied him, I peopled earth’s deserts by locating gold. A Prospector! Mercy! his voice was unsteady — Bold pilgrim, he questioned, Hast never been told That Heaven is full of your brethren aircady — They ruin our streets digging holes to find gold. Old Bill scratched his head, then a gleam lit his features, Just let me come in, he entreated, I know A way to rid Heaven of all of those creatures. And failing in this, I promise to (get out and) go. St. Peter looked puzzled, half doubting, half hoping, If only you could. Bill, he said with a sigh; You know not the trouble with which we are ccping. But anyhow, enter — you might as well try.” The Portal swung open, Bill lost not a minute; Approaching the culprits all digging pell mell, He spread the bold fiction for all there was in it, That gold had been struck in the vortex of Hell. And then something happened, as Bill had expected, Believing the yarn of this Angel pro tern. The mad throng stampeded, and Heaven rejected, Began a wild race to the Devil’s own realm. Well done, said the Saint, in his happiest humor, But Bill, he continued, in words tense and low, Could they, Heaven’s shrewdest, be fooled by a rumor, Perhaps there is gold in the realm down below. Bill took one long breath as an angel immortal, Yet saw the wild tumult! Yet heard the din swell! Goodbye! he yelled back, as he dashed through the portal, And brought up the rear on the highway to Hell! — Albert Owen Nichols .
