CGRTNER .N . . Secretary-Treasurer 41--at The Senior Class History Some people find it necessary to blow, and to manufacture all kinds of hot air yarns about their imaginary charms,- powers, et cetera, in order to fill up a page or two in the year-book with a class history. Concerning the Seniors of '08 only plain facts will be stated. ln the first place we have our own hot air reservoir very skillfully manipulated by the right honorable G. M. G., who you will agree is very well versed in the art of dispensing it when necessary. Well the very first day we set foot on the campus and proceeded to meander up the long walk to the west entrance, four years ago, things at lVl. V. C. were different and something has been stirring ever since. Yea, verily the first year was not according to the old regime. These young Klearchuses, loans of Arc, Gibsons, Pattis, Darwins, Eliots, Spinozas and Sampsons were not the kind to follow in anybody footsteps, but rather would they explore new regions. The college was ransacked from basement to tower. Indeed three brave maidens in search of knowledge ascended to the roof of the college and made investigations much to the horror and wonder of the staid old Sophs., foolish juniors, and owlish Seniors, and to their own chagrin, for some jealous Seniors casting their sad reproachful lanterns upon them realized that their Waterloo was fast approaching, if these young wonders continued in their mad career, and carried the ladder away causing these naughty girls to be late to class. From that day forth that old ladder was never left idle. Do you remember how the First Greek class used to make hasty exits out of the south window and down the ladder and hie away to shady green spots, when their Prof. left the room and forgot to come back. Do you remember the spreads we used to have out under the cedar trees where four-leaf clover grows when Pete treated? Have you forgotten those tiptop receptions, picnics, and banquets the naughty eights gave? Do you remember The flags B. M. used to unfurl on the tower? Well have you forgotten mama's clothes ine ? When we get old we get reminiscent so have patience if we bore you. But now listen, for this is true, and honors of this kind have never been granted to students before nor since, Dr. Black chose members of this class for his Vice-Presidents--and you all know the result. They immediately took things in their own hands and managed skill- fully and things happened that never did before. Why didn't they eat in the practice rooms, do stunts in chapel, and generally make things so uncomfortable that the faculty had to get busy and built a new chapel, library and music rooms? ' Why was that Campanile put on top of the new chapel? To hang the '08 flag on 17 TI-IE. SABIDURIA of course, what other pttipose could it serve? Dr. Griffin had to go away to the Philip- pines and spend a year pzeparing to instruct these knowing lads and lassies. Prof. Shepherd had to go to New York and stay away two on the same errand, and as for the old Librarian - why they just simply proved to the faculty that she was no good at all and so they got a new one. It was also found that more room was needed in the basement and Uncle Dan was moved out and an extra office built. A new power house was built in order to keep things up to the standard this class set. Even the Campus was remodeled on account of some of the members of this class. The trees have all been artistically trimmed and flowers may be seen blooming every spring on the Campus where before the advent of this class all was waste and void. . Wonderful! Wonderful! You say to yourself, but just wait- the most wonder- ful thing accomplished by this most versatile and daring crowd of stunters was the Sabiduria of '07, produced under great difficulties but reflecting their miraculous geniosity Cwhy yes I am a senior, I have a right to coin a wordl and ability. This noble work shall be left as a monument tn their memory. l would tell of the miracles wrought by this class of '08, but as l said in the introduction plain facts alone will be stated. Now we realize we are granting a great favor, but since the juniors have shown a propensity for following our example, we will give some valuable advice to those who may follow in our steps. Boys-take Mr. l-ludson's advice and never leave Marshall. Stay with Marshall and you will always be in good company. Mabel says - Love everybody.

Secretary-Treasurer The Junior Class History A mountain towered before us. Many had traversed its winding paths. Some had ascended even to its summit, receiving as their reward of faithfulness and diligence that coveted prize -- the cap and gown. Some were nearing the summit, while others were well on the way. Such was the inspiring scene which we witnessed that splendid Sep- tember morning in the year l905 when, we, as a Freshman class of twenty-two members began our journey over the Curriculum Mountain of M. V. C. Equipped with our Livy books under one arm and our Platos under the other, and such other essentials as these verdant creatures need, we soon found our guide who' would lead us through the theory of whether virtue can be taught. It was here that Mr. Hawley ran amiss and our guide was compelled to have him retrace his steps by way of the Valley of Con, Wandering about as he did in our blindness, Percy, in the heat of his passion, declared that virtue could not be taught him. It is not in nature to be stagnant, so we soon hurried on to the pleasant scenes where Horace drank his wine and revelled in the company of his gentle friend Maecenas. In our journeying along from ode to ode we were confronted by a pony, the hair of whose tail our guide requested Boone to pull. This he tried but in vain. Then Alice and Mr. lVIcCurry tried and failedg but Mr. Downs being 24 THE SABIDURIA better acquainted with the animal and not afraid to pull, soon extracted every hair with precision, much to the gratification of our worthy leader. We were nearing the end of our first years journey when, by chance one day we met a man whom we recognized as a regular guide just returning from over the Mountain whither he had taken a party of explorers. After he had explained to us the wonders of the transit and other surveying apparatus we besought him to take us over. To our sur- prise he declared firmly that he could take only those who would be willing to go over the hill of No Spark and those certifying that hitherto that they had travelled no other way. Four only were eligible, not having bowed the knee to Cupid. Accordingly Agnes, Erdice and Nell, accompanied by Mr. Ryland, the citadel of whose heart had never been be- sieged, went forth to survey the lonely hill. It is impossible to recount in full our journey, including every feature of our course. and to mention every guide. So trusting that a partial report will suffice, we will take you with us through our second year. Being introduced to a very pleasing new guide, and informed by him that he would lead us by way of that new made grave of Lord Kelvin, if we would pardon him, we soon found ourselves picking a ragged way up the hill of knowledge, stopping here and there to discuss its formation. It was not long till we were put under the care of another who would direct our forward journey. With this particular guide we made our first night march, with the ultimate aim of procuring specimens that are necessary for our ascending of the hill of knowledge. The sun had sunk behind its western horizon when three of our number departed a little while from the multitude to prey, but not after the manner of our Great Example, as you might think, for when they returned each carried under his coat the spoils of his expedition, Mr. McCorkle and Mr. Johnson had fortunately fallen upon some members of the domesticated feline family which they determined to offer up as a sacrifice to science, but when Eddie came he threw himself, prey and all, down to rest, declaring that that was too much like work to suit him. Mr. Peterson had had a similar feeling in the matter and not having put forth his most heroic effort, felt the burden weigh heavily on his rusty-crowned head when our good leader resorted to drastic measures to arouse him from his lethargy. Many and diverse were the paths we travelled, all only branches of the great path which leads finally to the summit, only branches- yet one of these leads to the little stream Pedagogy, where Mr. Fray, Mr. Orr, and Miss Hudson, chancing so stroll along the banks were turned aside by the filthy lucer glittering along its course. This stream is only a by-path, however, and, by extreme effort they hope to overtake us. Our second year was drawing to a close and we were feeling that our toil had not been in vain--Sophs generally feel that way. Once, while we were resting from our arduous labors, Mr. Willingham won for himself additional glory by climbing to the very pinnacle of the highest peak, and hazardous though it was, he placed our flag higher than any other class, our flag the symbol of all that is noble and great and illustrous. Our space is so limited that we must eliminate further discussion of our merits. But who could believe that this precocious boy could accomplish such deeds of valor receiving only a few slight wounds, for which Miss Rodgers did so easily prescribe, since she has proclivities toward that pro- fession, and Georgia, much given to tenderness, bound up his wounds in such a way that he was soon as well as ever. Thus our third year is a glorious one in our history. New paths we tread, new guides we follow, halting ocassionally in our search after hidden truths to gaze upon the production which come forth when Miss Whitehead but touches the pen. None can fathom her genius. It must be 'Art for Art's sake', but Mr. Moreland suggests that he delights in it for Ola's sake. Thus we press on to the close of our third year, looking to beyond to that coveted goal when we all shall be adorned with' the paraphernalia of College Seniors, -if we unk not.

Secretary-Treasurer 'Sophomore Class Bulletin This extraordinary body of patients was put under surveillance about two years ago. and though a complete cure has not yet been effected, their friends are still optimistic as to the outcome. Each patient's ability ffinanciall of course determines the length of his stay in the infirmatory. These unfortunates are by no means neglected, but are allowed to pay tuition, take Biology quizzes, endure concerts, and enjoy other little pleasantries as though in real school life. Too much cannot be said of the noble physicians, who have done so much for these poor children. Indeed not a patient has been left undone Every three months the chief Prylogist pries them loose from a certain amount of money varying according to the con- dition fnot physical, of the patient. At the same time the head alienist for the institution, Dr. McGinnis, asks them certain hypothetical questions which he also kindly answers for them, and, by so doing will probably enable some of these people to remain under these pleasant surroundings longer than they had expected. And thus on through the whole staff. each has his pleasant surprise for the patients. ln consideration of the fact that these people entered the institution together they have been allowed to forin an organization just as other people do. They have chosen officers, a class motto, and colors. Mr. Winheld Dockery Armentrout fhe inherited thatl is Pres- ident, and Miss Margarette Carkson Haynes fshe choose thatl is Secretary and Treasurer - the latter being a frost. ' These people are allowed entertainment on certain lucid days, one of which the luniors recently took advantage of and materially the existence of the less fortunate Soph- omores. Not withstanding their advancement, it is still found necessary to keep a bulletin re- cording the symptoms of the patients and the following is the most recent one. l.

Vice-President RALPH BRITTAIN . . . Secretary-Treasurer History of Class of I9I l Boasters! Upstarts! Freshies! Of course this will be said of us, for they always say such things about the Freshman Class. Who, you ask? Why, I mean those who love to call themselves Sturdy Soph's, Jolly juniors and Stately Seniors. But neverimind the Class of I9I l is a truly remarkable class, nor will the words of highest praise be used amiss in eulogy of its members. Each brave Freshman firmly placed his foot on the first round of the scholastic ladder last Autumn. Now you watch him climb, and the pride you now feel in him will increase a thousand fold before he reaches the top and looks down on you from his dizzy height. ln the words of the poet: Seniorship is not reached by a single bound We build the ladder by which we rise From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies And mount to its summit round by round. With pride I enumerate the members of the Freshman Class. First come the musicians, who pride themselves on being able to turn thots of home out of tenderest hearts and make them forget everything except their present situation, they are as follows: Grace Claggett, a charming girl and violinist, May lVlcCutcheon, who has become a skill- ful accompanist for all the gentlemen solo singers, girl soloist not desired, Ann Rodgers, the dignified pianist with the rosy cheeks and naughty eyes, and Seth Thornton. the far-famed Cornetist and band director. Treading upon the heels of these are the soloists of the class, Ella Robins Black, daughter of the President and Professor Place's pride, and Olive Moore, whose sweet singing makes one wonder how such wonderful tones could come from such a small package. The class is not without an artist, for Sheila Alexander, the little girl who always makes you think of Queen Elizabeth, is the class artist. ' Then there are many others who have talents in various directions. Lucy Maxiner, the most patient little soul on record, who has waited eleven years for someone to graduate from M. V. C. CHe is a Senior now., Emma Marschall, the little maid of sweet six- ' 3 7 THE. SABIDURIA teen, who has a fondness for red roses, - or the dispenser of red roses, -who knows? Georgia Rolofson, the girl with the red hair, who has volunteered to go as a heathen missionary to the foreign land. Eva Maxey, a precious article done up in a small package. Elizabeth Tyson, a stately Freshman, champion candy maker and cook. Pearl Gooding, the wild western girl, who likes Missouri a little bit. Everett Maxey, the class kid and little brother to all the girls. Irene Sterner, who has so many lovers, stout and slender, short and tall, and she cannot choose among them, and she cannot love them all. Anna Turner, a good worker in the Y. W. C.. A. and will make an ideal preachers wife. Elizabeth Fry, the little 'girl with the big brown eyes and the golden hair, who loves Ger- man. Froncie Gill, the young lady who has no intentions of roaming alone in this world's wilderness. Mittie Huff, Eunice Orr, and Metta Hudson, the three most independent girls in Missouri Valley College, and leaders in their classes. Susan Barnum, a 'sweet girl, a walking wonder: she never talks. Ralph Brittain, a victim of the uncertain Irene. Mary Rose, whose name describes her beyond the power of the historian. Alice Mon- tague, a fine girl and a good student. George Davis, CBillJ, the class comedian and an all around good fellow. George Daugherty, the dashing Knight who desires to worship his queen of beauty alone and does not hesitate to eradicate other worshippers at any cost. Otto Schweer, the lady's man, and a baseball enthusiast. R. E. Stobie fStubbieJ, a brave fellow, many years a school teacher, not a bit afraid of Maud, a Missourian born and bred. Of all the men who haunt the earth And never are taken for what they're worth, Who strive from early morn till night Sometimes for wrong, sometimes for right, The Freshman has the hardest task To do the things the students ask. Among all roles, look where you will, You'll find no roll so hard to fill, So hard to hold and to control As that which is the Freshman's role. As he enters school his cares begin, And often traps are set for him. When on his weary feet he stands In answer to his Lord's commands, Some idle Soph' with vicious grin Plants on his chair a bended pin. Or from the hall's remotest end, Contrives with careful aim to send A paper ball with cunning wrought, That serves to break his chain of thought. But soon he'll get above the ground, l-'le'll climb the ladder round by round. Then greater things are thrust on him, And greater cares for him begin. But let the world say what it will, We'r proud the Freshman's place to fill. PEARL GOODING, Class Historian. 38 THE SABIDU RIA gl ELLA ROBBINS BLACK Marshall, Mo. RALPH Kansas Cit , Mo.

SABIDURIA A Word From The Director H- F5 -19 i The cultured person, the well rounded and broadly educated man, in these days of advanced thinking, is essentially one who looks inward, as it were, to find what latent powers he may have for further development. In such a survey one usually finds a tendency toward some one of the hne arts. To neglect the development of any such tendency is to deliberately dwarf our mental vision and curtail the activities and pleasures of a useful life. ln painting, sculpture, poetry. music and other allied arts, the expression of fervent sentiment is sought for. In none is it more strongly set forth than through Music, brought out through the depths of Organ harmonies: the voice, in song: the flights and fancies of a violin solo or the elevated content of a Chopin scherzo or the Hrst part of a Liszt rhapsodie, through the tones of the piano. ln presenting the Music Courses of Missouri Valley College to the student world, a fitting opportunity is offered for development in this the most popular art. The courses for vocal developrrcnt of both male and female voices, are of the most approved standard. They are corrplete in every detail that will aid in the unfolding and upbuilding of the artistic voice in song. Many times the progress of a student is such as to justify the study of two or three ballads with words during the first quarter of lessons. This will account in part for the number of young singers at Missouri Valley College. . The vocal courses in- clude not only solo singing. but practice in chorus work, part singing and ensemble. Then too, the acoustics of Steward Chapel add much to the students enthusiasm, as all vocal lessons, both private and in class, are given in this resonating room. ln this same room pipe-organists and pianists are made to expand and develop through the years and finally graduate with much honor. All graduating courses demand a fine development and control of the mind through the medium of the voice or fingers and go farther and insist on one years study of the history of music and a four years course in musical composition. To make music is to know music. If one can put down on paper the expression of musical thoughts that originate with himself, he is bound to be a fair exponent, in rendition, of the value of such thoughts and thus ensure a soulful performance. Persons educated in this manner become the best of teachers. They are equipped with the best means known for the study of musical content. Considering the above statement, our graduates become not only excellent performers but strong teachers. All graduating courses terminate in the degree of Mus. B. EDGAR SANDS PLACE, Mus.

President GERTRUDE THOMPSON . secretary FRED GIBBS . . . Treasurer PF vs' 36 Senior Academy History 35 '15 3 All but one of the Senior Academy class have grown up in the broad fields of our dear old state. We were not reared in barren wastes but in cultivated fields, from which we were transplanted to one of the richest gardens of learning in the Middle West. From the hour of our first matriculation we have been proud of our Alma Mater, of her efficient and magnanimous President, of the faithful and competent faculty, of the high class of work done, of the friendly co-operation of the student body, of the constant growth and improvement of our college as a whole, and of the scarcity of our flunks. After these years of joy, success and occasional failure, we have reached the proud day when we are looked upon as Academy Seniors, full of wise saws and modern instances . One striking characteristic has been ours from the beginning, our distinguishing feature, inherent in us, and, so far as we know, in no other class in the history of college life: W g have no undue consciousness of our powers, We are forgiving. as well, for, although our wise old college friends, the juniors, have miserably failed to give us any parental or fostering care, in the way of counsel concerning organization, class-pins, and the like, we extend to them full pardon, since they have been so busy mothering our patient Seniors. We are a talented crop and, no doubt, our Junior College hopefuls will agree: That our alphabet Baker can drive old Grey down the line as straight as a die. That the other Baker evidences the fact that it is always summer in June. That Ward Clemens, even now, can twist out curves almost as well as Bob. That Jimmy Garrard's silence is more vociferous than the corridor noises of some upper classmen. That Floyd Gauldin reads Ovid in a charming poetical style. That Hollyman has his social nature developed to an alarming degree. That Lewis can argue the question forcibly and logically even if the iudges do make a mistake in the decision. That Parks, our Cherokee, has a mind alert and an eye so keen that he can shoot an arrow into the heart of a frog-pond. That, Titter- ington succeeds in mastering the problem of having a jolly good time. That Vanbuskirk is an exponent of his oft repeated assertion, lf there is anything to be done, I'll help - to get some one else to do it. That Gibbs can play basketball when he is there. And whether the juniors agree or not, our roll of girls shows variety and talent un- excelled. Among their names are one man, a Coleman not noted for noise: and two sons, one of Rolof which may once have been Ralph the Rover, and one of Thom who has delved deeply into the life of the Pioneer founder of Kentucky. There is also one whose name is Maud who is only Ficklfelin' when she discusses the refraction and defraction of light with an air of indifference. Sue's name and her talent are Reading. Irene is not Sterner than she seems, and will not be so at all when her present hopes are realized. The Downs of Scotland, adorned with a Marguerite, and Stella, the Star of our lady debaters, finish the list. Such we are, twenty in number, young, tender and hopeful. If in the future you should happen to be in need of an Indian Chief, a lawyer, a preacher, a cook, a wood- sawyer, or a dog-trainer, just apply to our president, C. Hollyman, and you will be supplied from our worthy class. OTIS L. ENGLAND, Class Historian. 50 THE SABIDURIA . , . I Sq -.Yf V E IM ALBERT S. BAKER JUNE BAKER ANNA BELLE COLEMAN Marshall, Mo.

SABIDURIA BAIRDEA Bairdean Literary Society1l-listory ij N the following the writer attempts a description of an afternoon's visit to the fjigii Bairclean.Society. The program was'one giyen during the winter quarter, but in this description an exhaustive criticism is not attempted, nor should it W likely prove to be profitable to the readers of the Sabiduria if it went beyond 'Q ' ,g the common characteristics of the society and its members. k The large door stood wide open as if offering a welcome to all who chanced that way. The merry voices and joyous faces of the young people within bespoke a cordial invitation to enter. Then we stepped within - we - a Bairdean of the junior class and myself. We passed up the aisle toward the platform: on either side of us were cushioned opera chairs arranged in curved rows. I noticed that the monotony of the rectangular room was broken by having in its north-west corner an alcove with live windows. The platform, octagonal in shape, was constructed in this corner. On it, at one side, a reading desk held a much worn Bible, the president's chair and table occupies the center. just back of the president's chair a large white pennant with the word Bairdean in letters of orange hung from one of the heavy brown figured curtains which decorate the windows of the Hall and below these, white sash curtains softened the bright rays of the afternoon sunt. To the right of the platform stood the piano and bench of polished stump walnut, and to the left was a large flat-top oaken desk bestrewed with papers, back of which sat two young ladies, the secretary and critic, who were introduced as Miss Pearl Gooding and Maud England respectively. just at this point a young man standing near spoke a few words in a depreciatory manner of the wild and fuzzy west, at which the secretary's eyes snapped and with a quick jerk of her head she exclaimed, Aw bah! We now turned to find seats for ourselves, thereby giving us a view of the Hall from the platform on which we stood. A few large pictures hung on the olive-tinted walls, one being a large portrait of W. T. Baird of Kirksville, godfather of the Society. The room was being filled with young men and women, most of whom stood laughing and chatting with each other: a few had already taken seats. assuming a more serious attitude. ln a far corner sat a young man who wore nose-glasses, near him a young lady named Eliza took her seat Cthat name called to mind a certain colored washerwoman whom I owed for laundryj I caught the names of others as May, Anna, Baird, Birdie, Van., Bill, Lizzie, Finis, and Pig One slender young man was nicknamed Chesty. As l was enjoying and imbibing the gay spirit of student life, in strode a tall young man who was addressed as Delong. l-le walked to the table, and, having glanced about the room, brought down the gavel just as the one-thirty bell rang, saying as he did so the Society will now come to order. Thereupon all of us took our seats. Following devotional exercises by the chapline, a few late comers were shown to their seats by Mr. Brittain, the usher, who in physique appeared capable of ushering them out again if occasion should arise. After the opening business of roll-call and reading of the minutes of the previous meeting the following literary program was given: 55 THE SABIDURIA Music ..... .

Anna Turner The Painter of Seville ........ Maud England Question for debate: Resolved, that the City of Marshall should establish and maintain a public reading room. I take the liberty of quoting from the critics report to aid me in criticising the literary performances. Our Art Program this afternoon is a very good representation of the special programs 'we have been having this quarter. There were more recitations than usual, but the various papers were well prepared, and on the whole up to our standard. Most of the performers were well at ease on the platform, several showing a marked im- provement in this matter. Most of the performances were of a serious nature but of good variety so as to avoid monotony. Two of the recitations are well known and were well given, but more action and attention to the audience would have improved them. The other recitation Produce and Art was a short humorous poem of country life. As might be expected, the papers were more of the ordinary type showing in their preparation the results of reading, of observation, or of originality of thought according to the subject treated. The music was varied, there being a piano duet, a piano solo, and a vocal solo, all of which were encored. But the most pleasing was the last, a little love song, at the close of which-doubtless influenced by the sentiment expressed -- Bill, asked to be excused from the Hall and joe, who had been hiding his blushing face behind his hat, overcome by the appeal Could you learn to love a little girl like me? fell out of his chair. The question for debate was occasioned by the recent campaign for local option, and the debaters waxed warm as they sought to convince three rather indifferent judges. Tommie led off for his five minutes with some solid facts for his side. Mac followed with a short rebuttal and sought to lay the burden of proof on his opponents. Bill then took the platform and, with good argument clinched by witty remarks, made good for the affirmative. Thelbert struggled to make a clear road for a decision for the negative. The closing rebuttal was followed by the decision for the affirmative. Hearty applause was given each of the debators as had been given the other per- formers, sometimes appreciative of an excellent performance, and sometimes as encourage- ment for a good effort put forth. In the business session a rather lengthy report from the Constitutional revision com- mittee was taken from the table and after considerable discussion was for the most part adopted, section by section. A report concerning a new table for the President was accepted and the bill allowed. The business was carried on chiefly by the old members, however Aregood took pleasures in seconding motions, and some other new one were bold enough to enter into the cussions. Upon the recommendation for the Attorney, fines were imposed for absence, non- performance of duty and communications by the President. From these a few found a way of escape by means of appeal, but most were unquestioned. The critic's report being given the motion to adjourn was made and carried. The room was again filled with the noise of the young people glad to get out of doors, as they hastened, laughing and talking leaving only the' Program Committee, who remained to arrange 3 RCW PTOQTHIH.

Then for a name some suggested Gordoniang Hut that wouldn't do. it didn't suit us quite- So we chose the Pearsonian and the purple and white, And then began striving, striving for right.

Georgia Dysart Margaret Clarkson, Sec'y, Pearl Gooding Ola Whitehead Alice Morrison, Pres. Ruth Cochran Bessie Cnrube, V. Pres. The Y. W. C. A. Early in the history of M. V. C. the young women, with Miss joan Orr as advisor, organized the Young Women's Christian Association, and it has been a very potent factor in the religious and social life of the College ever since. Many a girl has been heard to say after leaving school, that some' of the sweetest memories of her college days cluster about the Y. W. C. A. and the friends she grew to love in that work. The officers of the Association for '07 and '08 are as follows: President, Alice Morrison: Vice-President, Bessie Gruber Secretary, Margaret Clarksong Treasurer, Anna Turner. The work of the association is carried on through the following committees: Sick and Relief, Devotional, Missionary, Social, Music, Poster, and Nominating. It is the duty of the Devotional Committee to provide leaders for the morning meet- ings. Three mornings during the week students lead the meetings, on Wednesday morning there is a song service, and on Thursday morning some special leader is provided. The Committee tries to vary the meetings and make them as attractive and helpful as possible. The Missionary Committee must endeavor to promote missionary interest among the students. Once a month it has charge of a meeting of the Association and the leader talks on a missionary subject. It also has the raising of the different missionary funds required by the budget. This year this committee has organized two classes for studying missions, one for foreign and one for home fields. These classes have been well attended and a great benefit to the members. The Social Committee is a very busy committee as it is its duty to provide amusement for the students. During this year it has furnished us a number of delightful socials. The first was given at the opening of the autumn quarter, 'for girls only'. Such a jolly time, 'only girls'. Everyone must wear their name, not their heart, on their sleeve, and everyone must meet everyone else. Refreshments were served, and many homesick girls went away 70 THE SABIDURIA with lighter hearts. Following this came the joint social with the Y. M. C. A. According to a custom established years ago, the new boys must accompany the old girls and the old boys the new girls. This was one of the events of the season, and perhaps some new boy rather liked an old girl and perhaps some old boy rather liked a new girl and well -- per- haps they still do. who can tell? A number of other socials have been given throughout the year which l am sure can be looked back to as bright spots in our college life. The Y. W. C. A. is indebted to Mr. and Mrs. Hugh McCord for their Sick and Relief fund, for they originated the plan and worked hard to establish it. Each student is requested to leave the sum of ten cents with the librarian and these sums constitute the fund. Whenever the Sick and Relief Committee hear of any member being sick they call on them and have cut flowers sent to them. F ar from home and a mother's tender care, the cheer- ful visits of this committee and the beauty of the Howers, have shortened the illness of many a student. The pianist of the association is chairman of the Music Committee and it is her duty to play for the morning meetings and to arrange special music' numbers on various occasions. The association is especially fortunate in having several exceptional vocalists, who gladly do service on special occasions. It is the duty of the Poster committee to put up attractive posters announcing special meetings. We are surely blessed with artistic girls for some taking poster is almost always drawing a crowd around the bulletin board in the main hall. Three young women were nominated by the Nominating Committee and sent to the Cascade conference in Colorado last summer. ln the autumn six were sent to St. joseph to the State convention. These conferences and conventions provide the best speakers in the U. S. to address them and the young ladies who have gone count it as one of the opportunities of their lives. On the fifth of February. the officers for the year '08-'09 were elected as follows: President, Georgia Dysart: Vice-President, Nell Rea: Secretary, Anna Turner, and Treasurer, Alice Morrison. These officers were installed March Sth, Mrs. Huff giving the charge and address of the occasion. Having read the history here given of the Y. W. C. A. of M. V. C. you have an idea of what this organization stands for among the students, but before closing let me quote the motto of the association: The aim of this Association is to make Christ real to every girl in school. And the good Christian fellowship that exists among the girls is an evidence that the girls try to accomplish their aim and succeed bravely.

C. A. has been doing a good work the past year. When the school year opens the Y. lVl. C. A. is the busiest organization in school, for it has for a number of years taken hold of the work of getting the new students into school, helping them to locate boarding houses, get courses of study arranged, and making them feel at home. Many are, no doubt, led to a better life each year because of the kindness shown in these first days of school when one is inclined to be rather lonely anyway and a kind word is especially appropriate and welcome. So it is obvious that the committee should always be made up of the most obliging students to be found, and if any day you should be pressed into service remember you will find it to your advantage to look your best and act your nicest. Many times it is the duty of this committee to usher some newly arrived co-ed and you will be sorry if you haven't got on your best bib and tucker. This duty from all re- ports and observations has never been neglected in the least but has been performed with great satisfaction to all parties concerned. After the boys have been here about a week a reception was given to them with the intention of driving out all kinds of microbes which would cause home-sickness or dis- satisfaction of any kind. We all gathered in the Y. M. C. A. and listened to speeches from our professors and students who had happened to funny things and could tell them. Fatty jones' impersonation of Prof. Evrard was especially enjoyed. Nearly all the boys like to eat, so the Social committee had scattered watermelons all over the northeast corner of the campus. Some one who was wise yelled out Come on boys out to Prof. Crrube's watermelon patch and everybody scrambled down the steps with such eagerness for water- melons as would have put to shame a Georgia negro. They found the patch closer than they had anticipated for judging the way some started they had been to Prof. Grube's farm in times not ancient. After several had powder burned in their faces from the guns of the sentinels all the melons were found and eaten in great glee on the bleachers north of the base ball diamond. This was an occasion for the boys only that they might become better acquainted with each other. A few girls came to the door but they left soon when they learned that there would be another reception given in a few days by the Y. W. and Y. M. C. A.'s jointly when they would have a chance to meet all the good looking new boys. This re- ception was given at the home of Mr. Hayes. lt was arranged primarily to have a general mix-up of the new and old students. The plan proved successful to some extent, but some of the old boys were afraid to allow the new boys to go with their girls, fearing that if they did the new boy might get the advantage. They, so to speak, took time by the forelockn and their girls by the arm and said by their actions if not by their words, We defy com- petition. Alas how small potatoes and how few in a hill! But fortunately there were others and all the new students seemed to enjoy the evening very much. Writing now from 73 THE SABIDURIA the end of the year and judging from some of the students that are taking Campustry, Cupid must have strung his bow before the reception and got in some of his work that night. As duties come upon us day after day we are apt to neglect our religious life. lt is hard to keep up any unusual interest in Y. M. C. A. attendance. Various plans are re- sorted to, such as having special meetings once a week, when a leader from outside the membership of the Association is secured. 'A contest which lasted sixty days was also carried out. Two leaders were chosen who took an equal number of men, who were to come to the Association every morning and get everyone else to whom they could in- Huence. The losing side were to entertain the winning side. Gregg and Peterson were the leaders and it was Peterson's side who had to pay the bill. Cne evening we all assembled in Patterson's hall where a fine luncheon had been prepared for us. Songs and yells prepared the way for a grand repast, no I mean a great feast, for nothing was left to be re-passed. After the feast Mr. Peterson was elected toastmaster and toasts were given by Dr. McGinnis, Prof. Laughlin, and Prof. Shepherd, and also some of the students, which provoked roars of laughter from the crowd. Notwithstanding the toasts were all witty and a spirit of glee was manifest, there was a tone of seriousness in them and a call to our duty as Y. M. C. A. men. All the members of the faculty expressed great ap- preciation of the work of the Y. M. C. A. and of the ideals which it has. During the year a need for a more religious atmosphere was felt and arrangements were made for a series of special meetings in order that some might be led to know Christ as a personal Saviour and that we all might be led closer to him. Each clay pastors of various churches of the town delivered short messages at the chapel hour. Each morning Mr. Trousdale of the Odell Avenue Presbyterian Church addressed a meeting of the student body and each evening Dr. Black spoke to the boys in that good fatherly way in which he is so greatly gifted. The meetings were characterized by prayerfulness and earnestness and although no confessions were made, much good was done. The Y. M. C. A. furnished the people of Marshall with a splendid lecture course of five numbers as another part of its work this year. The Association is closely connected with the work of the College and has a live part in all its affairs. This year has been an exceptionally good one for the Association and we feel proud of the work clone, as it has far surpassed all previous records, but we hope that the following will leave it just as far behind, and the next also till in every generation of students the men shall learn the life of Christ and choose it for their own.

What The Bulletin Means v W . . I 76 THE SABIDURIA Review of the '07 Baseball Season ' During the season of '07 Missouri Valley played only seven games of baseball, but was successful in six of them. This was the smallest number of games and the largest percentage of victories for several years past. KEMPER MILITARY SCHOOL was our season opener and. though they were naturally below our class, we cleaned them up even more decisively than we had expected. Bob held them to three hits, a bass on balls, and struck out eleven, himself making four hits out of five times up. It was a day of fat batting averages. Ward got five hits out of six times up, giving him a lead in batting honors for the team that was never overtaken. Bradley got two out of three times up, also working the pitcher for four passes. Mitchell fanned three times and didn't get a hit in four times up. My! Murder! Mama's clothes- line! General sulphurousnessl Dents in the ground made with the end of the bat!! Score: M. V. C.-23: K. M. A.--l. VVESTMINSTER COLLEGE was our next opponent. the game being at Fulton, April l lth. This was the closest fight, perhaps, that we had, the score being 2 to l in our favor. Westminster getting seven hits and striking out nine of our men, and we getting six hits and striking out ten of the Blue Jays. THE DEAF AND DUMB SCHOOL is supported by the State, but if they do everything like they did our boys April l2th they don't need state support. After whipping the stuffing out of a team from the College Union, to go across town and be whipped by a lot of dummies It was unspeakable. Please don't ask us what the score was, we are trying to forget it. VVESTMINSTER COLLEGE came for a return game April 19th and we took our vengeance out on them in great shape. They had trained a clay or two since last we met and were looking for some easy money. The score was 9 to l in our favor. Bob held them to three hits, two bases on balls, and struck out eight, while Cave and Yates were hit freely. Milt got three hits out of live times up. Gregg got two out of fouf, and job did likewise, one being a home-run. -. ,,,, , ,, ff ' WlLl.lAM JEWELL COLLEGE came down on the 27th of April, and wtf tried to atone for the three defeats they had heaped on us the year before. Bob only struckffoiit sixteen of them, this being his record in that respect, gave two passes and six hits. I-t'was an exceedingly interesting game, seven errors by W. C. and five by us only adding to the excitement. WARRENSBURG STATE NORMAL visited us May !Oth and left sore and grouchy. We had made four runs at the close of the fifth inning and Warrensburg three. There was no scoring then until the eighth, when W. S. N. tied up the score. No scoring in the ninth. W. S. N. made one in their half of the extra inning and were going strong. Things were exciting? ,les'm, they were. Bradley waited, noble boy, and was walked. Milt was safe on an error. Wai'd came up with determination written on every feature - and made three big slashes in the atmosphere. Groans, and low spirits. And then Bob lined a beauty two bagger down the right field line and won his own game. CENTRAL COLLEGE came over for the Commencement game and we just simply cleaned them for keeps. The score was only 24 to I, but then our boys ran the bases so much they were tired toward the last. Our boys hit safe fourteen times, four times for extra bases. Bob struck out nine, passed none, and was hit four times. In five times up he got two three baggers and one two bagger. This closed the season of l907. 77 THE SABIDURIA The Correct Records for '07 INDIVIDUAL IBATTING G AB R H 2B 3B HR SB SH W. Clemens . . . 6 24 I0 I I I 0 0 9 I R.

The first of these, Richard Rohn, first base- man and manager of the Joplin team of the Western Association, was with us during the training period of '06 and '07, and accomplished much in the way of improving the inside play of the team and show them what base-ball really meant. It certainly gives a great deal of pleasure to present here the picture of the second of these trainers, Mr. Collis Nl. Spencer, third baseman of the Cedar Rapids club of the Three Eye League for the past three years. He came to us a stranger and taking the place of a man who had proved to be a great favorite with the team. To say that he succeeded is putting it mildly. He proved himself a perfect gentleman as well as a great ball player and thoroughly good trainer, and we are glad of an opportunity to give this public appreciation of him and his services. 79 4 THE SABIDURIA HARRY The '08 Baseball Team l ' OB MITCHELL 'J First Baseman and Captain Second Baseman 80 'GINGERH SCHWEER Third Baseman - THE SABIDURIA The '08 Baseball Team EDDIE DELONG Left Field ALFRED BARNETT BOONE GREGG Right Field S Center Field and Manager 1 THE SABIDURIA WARD CLEMENS Shortstop JITSU CLEMENS RUNT CLEMENS Pitcher Catcher 8 2 l THE SABIDURIA GIRLS' BASKET BALL GROUP 83 THE SABIDURIA BOYS' FIRST BASKET BALL TEAM U R F Lf R'h--D'lIEd cl,C :R J ,SbC!' :D.L.E.C'ffi: .E..T .R'h ppc' ow mllxlovfeg Boviibalfmfnx Ennlnrrgflljeft lszisalldlygsj J?rwl::rn?nl, lliefslgzarclg L.

SABIDURIA liz!! 5 A I qlulvvl -FI-IE SABIDURI-A Eoitorials As to The In comparing with the names commonly used to designate Yearbooks the annual of Missouri Valley is found to have Name of The an altogether different kind of name. So striking is this fact Annual that the Business Manager of the '07 Sabiduria received a number of letters inquiring as to the significance of the name. As perhaps others are likewise interested, we will give the information here that every reader may know whence the name came. S:'lbidl'lria fpronounced in five syllables and with the first a as in bad, is the Anglicised form of the Spanish word meaning wisdom. ln the Spanish it would be pronounced Siibidurifl. We thing it a good choice for the name of a college annual, and our most rabid critics would admit the appropriateness of calling such a book a bunch of wisdom, at least using the term ironically. as as as ln calling attention as we do in rather a forcible way on AS to page 76, to the discrepancy between the statement of the Gymnasium April '08 Bulletin and the actual conditions as shown by a Picture picture taken in February '08, we have no desire whatever to cast any aspersion on the makers of the Bulletin. We thus set in juxtaposition two accounts of the same thing in order that thereby we may point the statements we are about to make. , ln the first place we take it to be the axiomatic that a certain amount of healthy, vigor- ous exercise is necessary to the maintenance of the proper sort of equilibrium between the natural forces of the student's body. All work and no play may be thread bare from much handling, still it expresses a truth that every mature person and every sober thinking student realizes. It is not enough that the student be not compelled to study all the time, he must have an opportunity to feel the exhilaration that comes from a good stiff round of exercise. Nervousness from overwork or close confinement will yield more quickly to healthy exercise than to the goods furnished by an apothecary shop. There is no need to defend a position of this sort in this annual, for Missouri Valley is pledged to the principle of healthy exercise, even to the extent of making athletics required two quarters of the year. ln the fall and spring quarters there is no escape unless you are physically unable to taken even the lightest of the athletic course offered, or can give unimpeachable evidence that you get exercise enough outside of school. To stand on the campus in these two quarters in the afternoon hours is to observe a scene that pleases you and causes glad feelings in the cockles of your heart. On the first and second team diamonds, perhaps thirty men wil be working. An equal number will be on the tennis courts and twenty more, equally divided between the sexes, will be on their respective basket ball courts. And from three thirty to five thirty this pleasant sight continues. It is a joy to the participants. a joy to the onlookers, and an evidence of wisdom on the part of those who have ordained such a condition. Now let's state our anomaly. In Missouri Valley there is absolutely no provision for 86 THE SABIDURIA any kind of exercise, however beneficial and desirable it may be deemed, for the winter or shutin months. There is not only no compulsory athletics this quarter, but so little ad-Q vantage is offered that even the most zealous apostle of physical culture, if turned loose in Missouri Valley, could do nothing more exhilarating than slide down the banisters or fall over the rubbish shown in the accompanying picture. The result is that everybody procedes to take on fat and get completely out of condition. It is a state of affairs that does pro- duce dissatisfaction among those who would gladly participate, and which should produce it among the observers of this condition, and those responsible for it. Now let us turn to our collegiate neighbors and we will find them with some more or less efficient provision for those who desire physical exercise during the shutin period of the year. At William Jewell it takes the form of a building devoted to that one purpose. At Park, Westminster, Central, and others space is given to physical equipment, in some building used for more than one purpose. Why should we- not compare - but con- trast so shamefully with these and other like institutions? Let us face the truth. We haven't as good gymnastic equipment as the Marshall High School. We believe that if there is good reason for other schools to build Gymnasiums and put thousands of dollars into equipment, there are the same reasons why Missouri Valley should to it, and greater reasons, because she thinks so well of them as to make them compulsory for two quarters of the school year. We want to close this paragraph by reiterating that we cannot compare in room or in equipment with a first class high school, much less with our sister colleges. Come, let us think the matter over for ourselves and see if the conclusion is not with you as with usf that a new Gymnasium, or adequate equipment within existing buildings is the most imperative need and duty of Missouri Valley College, because of the acknowl- edged benefit of regular physical exercises, because she is irrevocably bound to conpulsory athletics, and because of her poor showing in comparison with other institutions. If it is right to exercise, it is the duty of the College to furnish equipment therefor: if it is right for every one to be required to take athletics two quarters in the year, it is the duty of the College to provide for and require them in the remaining quarter of the year: if it is right for other schools to make a canvass of their friends for funds to build, equip, and maintain suitable structures for this purpose, it is the duty of our College to do the same. The upshot of the whole matter is that no friend of Missouri Valley could be doing, in our humble judgment, a wiser or more philanthropic thing than to provide for the necessary quarters and apparatus. We wish that the annual had such a wide circulation that every friend of the College might see this plea of ours made from the student body, on behalf of the student body, and expressing student body sentiments. as vs as Perhaps some one else may have thought as some members AS to Our of the Staff did that the new Sabiduria should be utterly un- Icleal For The like that of last year in every particular. We have had, Sabidul-ia '08 however, after the first newness wore off, no such iconoclastic aims. rather desiring to sacredly preserve the best features of the Sabiduria '07 and add thereto such features as had like merit. We believe that in any given year the Annual should represent the entire life of the School, both as regards the 87 THE SABIDURIA , particular events of that school year, and as regards the principles for which the College stands in all years, its hopes, its fears, its ambitions, and its material equipment. We be- lieve that last year's book, this year's book, and next year's book should each give such a complete picture of the College that a stranger reading anyone.of them, would form an in- telligent conception of Faculty, students, equipment, and characteristic features of the College life. This is the reason for the retention on our part of some of the general as well as the particular features of last year's Sabiduria, such as the programs on page 47 and the picture on page 96. Remember, however, that we are offering no apology for such re- tention, for we believe it, as much as the creation of new departments, and the changed treatment given others, is an evidence of a proper conception of our duty, and of originality as well. as fr- -as Something in the preceding paragraph reminds us that our AS to Our ideals have been changed somewhat, and kept from attain- Llterary ment in some instances, since the actual work of making the Department Annual begun. Perhaps this is nowhere more apparent to us than in connection with the Literary Department. in our original draft we allowed thirty pages to this Department and really wanted to give more. Gradually, however, other Departments ate up more pages than we had allotted them. until, cut as we might in other directions, but two thirds of the original number remained. So our ambition for what would be a representative literary department had to be sacrificed to what were uncontrollable circumstances. One advantage that was partly compensatory was the principle of exclusion on which'we had to act. We believe that we have no culls in that Department. We bequeath to our successors the worthy ambition of making a literary department of sufficient scope to furnish a field for all the various kinds of com- position and of talent.

SAM RODGERS First Prize Story in Sabiduria Contest The beautiful crimson and gold of sunset was slowly fading into grey as the soft twilight of late May fell - seeming to soften, by its own soothing touch, the incessant roar and rattle of the great city. Strong, Ford, and Jackson, were ensconced in their favorite nook in the Sigma Gamm House, lounging over their after-dinner cigars. They had dined early that day -- as they had often done before - at the Cris-Cros Club, each passing up invitations to dine in town, in order that they might have this one more evening together - the last, it would be, of a long series of such evenings extending over the past three years. They had been for a week in the whirl of the class meetings, entertainments, and social functions with which the great University celebrates the Commencement season. At ten- thirty they would go up the hill to attend the formal, somewhat pompous, Alumni banquet and be received, with considerable ceremony and condescension, into that august body ond tomorrow morning at the Auditorium, before the gaze of thousands of spectators, the four years fight would end - but just now they had a few hours all to themselves in which to bid farewell to a friendship, more properly chumship, which had lasted since Sophomore days. They were all dreamy. That was unusual because a real college man seldom has much time to spend that way -- and they were all true college men. How natural and matter of course it seems after you get there, said Ford, I used, in my Freshman days, to regard the Seniors reverently and think what a constant state of exaltation they must live in. How short the time seems -- now, commented Strong, dreamily, when I entered here the four years seemed as long as four centuries. Now they seem, in retrospect, shorter than as many months. I suppose, said Jackson, that that is because on the back track the days and months are all pleasantly connected by associations and friendships instead of being a bleak drear waste you dread to enter. Friendships and associations with the people you meet is a wonderfully important and pleasant part of a college course. Old ,lack seems to have the courage of his convictions, laughed Strong, but really I have often marvelled at the unusual weight of his list of friends. Ford frowned a little in perplexity while Jackson looked interestedly non-committal and Strong went on, I never saw a fellow who was on good, even, intimate terms with as many of the very cultured, intellectual, refined people, who are sought in the best society - and know Shakespeare by heart, + but who has fewer friends among the light weight easy-goers. Now who would ever accuse Jack of a fiirtation with a Soph Co-ed, and yet he is in as great demand at a Junior hop as he is at Prexy's mother-in-law's exclusive receptions. How do you work it, old chap, and why? 98 - THE SABIDURIA While Strong was speaking, Jacksons eyes became very soft and he seemed to be looking far, far away. A quiet smile played on his lips that seemed to belong to other times and people. After a valiant struggle with neglect. his cigar gave up the fight and went out. When Strong had ceased they watched him curiously and waited for him to begin. It seems many years ago in time and events, yet clear and distinct as though it were only yesterday, that August morning four years ago when we stood before the old Doctor and listened to the kind firm words that settled the course of our lives. I must go to College, he declared. Only thus could I grow and develop as I ought, and no man had a right to starve his soul and dwarf his character when the price of the richest development was within easy reach - and least of all, he said, drawing himself up proudly, the man who would take his little girl for his wife. We had known it of course, but our hearts clamored for the sweeter way and we had yielded to them without much scruple. But when her father spoke thus she came to me and taking my hand very gently, almost protectingly, she said, I felt that he would say so, Will, and I am sure it will be for the best. You must go and be brave and good and I will wait for you. And her soft grey eyes looked unutterable love and trust and confidence and made me fairly hate myself be- cause I was not big and brave and good enough to half deserve her. That is how it all came about that I am here. And in all the four years I have been here I have never forgotten, that I might the more surely grow big souled, and big hearted, and more worthy of a place in a home with her. I have tried to learn to see the good and the beauty in the world and the people. I have associated with people of all kinds and classes. I have given them the best I had and have asked and received in return the best from them. I have delved deep into the treasures of their minds-yes into their very souls - and through it all I have felt my own soul grow and unfold and reach out until the world has become new and more beautiful world to me. But through it all I have kept my heart from prying eyes and careless hands. It belongs to her and me only. Tomorrow the struggle will end and I will go back to her - go back unashamed, nay triumphant, for I will take her my heart as pure and clean, as sacred to her love, as I took it away. It was another case where Jackson seemed lo have the courage of his convictions, and as his companions noted how his joy softened his strong, almost stern face, with its clearcut angular jaw and broad forehead, making it so wonderfully gentle and tender, they felt a bit envious. It was Strong who spoke first - Strong the cynic, the analyst, the student of human nature. Have you seen her since you came here old man? he asked. Jackson shook his head. I-Iaven't been back for nearly four years. Hard work summer and winter, coupled with some what less than the average resources, is not favorable to little thousand mile vacation trips. That is why tomorrow means so much more to me than to most of the others. Strong sat buried in thought for some minutes. a slow cynical smile playing over his lips. I am sorry, friend of mine, he said finally, but I am afraid that there is an awakening before you. Don't you think that in all these years that your mind and soul have been growing, that your heart has been growing too? The whole world and its people have changed for you. What once gave you the keenest delight is insipid and dis- 99 THE. SABIDURIA. tasteful - true of the heart as well as of the mind: 'The little girl has been waiting for you, true as the slars, but always just the same little village girl, while you have been growing, growing awayt from her as fast as ti-me flies, till you will find it like an eagle mating a sparrow and your heart will rebel. These years that you have kept that heart of yours shut up to take care of itself you will find that it has been taking care of itself and that it will cry out against the old world and call for thenew and that you will be helpless to refuse it. That is only Life and Life is what we all, perforce, must live. . As Strong spoke a vision of the life that had been seemed to come up out of the past and stand before Jackson for him to compare its shabby uncouthness with the brilliant beauty 'of the life of the present and a strange nameless fear clutched at his heart. Then those steady soft grey 'eyes seemed to look into his with their look of unutterable love and trust, and confidence returned to his heart and the smile to his lips-a rather pitying, superior smile it was now. i I We won't argue it, old pal, he said, but one day before many weeks the little girl and l are going to be married and you shall be our best man and then l will show you, with the goods in hand that you read life wrong. And Ford shall be there to witness my triumph. They shook hands all around on it and then fell silent, each pursuing the phantom of his own thoughts. x- as as There was a soft light in the old parlor as he walked quietly up the grass-grown path, hoping to take her by surprise. But at the sound of his steps on the porch there was a swish of skirts within. He opened the door and quickly stepped inside and the next in- stant his arms were around her, her head nestled on his shoulder, his cheek against hers and his lips murmuring sweet caresses. How unutterably, restfully sweet it was to be back and so natural that the past four years of struggle seemed only a kind of trying yet half pleasant dream and only the happy present seemed real. How sweet and gentle and beautiful she was, just as she had always been, so subdued and shy before him, yet boldly happy with him so near. And somehow, in the very midst of this first ecstacy of his newly regained happiness Strong's words came to him and he laughed gleefully and kissed her again and again in the sheer joy of his triumph. And so, in the foolish bliss that only lovers know, the hours and days passed. They found much to occupy them -- they must revisit all their childhood haunts beginning with the great oldfashioned kitchen where Mammy Chloe reigned supreme and whither she had led him, on that sad, sad day so long ago, away from his mother's newly made grave where his childish dispair and sense of loneliness seemed about to crush him, striving in her innocent half-motherly way to comfort him -and ending in their favorite retreat by the brook in the little wood just outside the village, where they had successively made mud pies, fished for minnows, and read love stories. Then he must see all his host of friends in the village- friends, who, most of them, had been his mother's friends. Then there were long drives over the country, in the wide-seated phaeton behind old Dobbin, faithful relic of by gone decades, as the Doctor made his calls, and best of all there were the long hours they ' 100 N . ' THE SABIDURIA spent alone, revelling in the joy of each others presence - living, it seemed, in an Eden of bliss, unconscious and unheeding any world save their own. N- Late one afternoon, nearly a week after, his arrival, they were lounging idly beneath the big elm east of the house where al clump of rose bushes screened a hammock from the passersrby. They were unusually silent. He had been dreamy, almost moody, all day, and she, who needed only his presence to make her happy, was silent because he -was. i , Forlsometime something, an intangible, silent, indefinite something had been stirring within him derranding something, he could not tell what, but filling him with a vague un- rest. It had been veiy slight and indefinite indeed at first-he had been scarcely conscious of it, but hour by hour, day by day, -it had persisted, silent and relentless, and he could not put it away. Today it seemed to oppress him especially and he was silent and restless as well as exasperated with the vagueness of it all. Strong's words again came to him, this time with a persistent sinister meaning. He tried to put them away, but they came back again and again, and forced him half-unconsciously, and wholly unwillingly, to turn keenly critical eyes on the girl who half reclinecl in the hammock facing him. Her face had all the beauty and gentle sweetness he had loved so well, but he was most unwillingly forced to admit that it did not have that indefmable air of intellectuality and refinenfent, that poise and fulness of character thaticome only with higher education and culture. Her eyes looked at him with that same love and trust and confidence that cheered him through his years of struggle, but they showed no intelligent and sympathetic response to his appreciation of the beauties of nature and of the world, to his interest in the struggles and achievements of men, to the voice of his soul. Then his thoughts went back to his Varsity and the people of the city and of them all two stood out boldly. Une was a elderly woman with snowy hair, a face of surpassing beauty-the inner beauty of a rich, full soul, a noble character, and a keen, intelligent brain whose interest was in life -- and a winning manner of grace and dignity, Prexy's Mother-in-law. alt was in her home, that he had come to know life at its best - to her and to her friends he owed' more of his real breadth and culture than to all the rest. And 'he might be pardoned a little pride as he remembered that he had found favor also in their sight. Only two days before Commencement she had told him in a week or two she would keep open house quite informally for a small party of her very especial friends, and that she would count on him. He had been aware of the double nature of this invitation, for each year a number of -Varsity men found entrance into the various departments of her husbancl's immense commercial and manufacturing business and the favored ones are always at this after-commencement reception. Yet he had lightly assured her that it was quite impossible, he could not possibly be even in the city. Now he felt a sudden longing to be back in it all, and that other faces rose before him, the face of a girl, bewitching in its dark beauty, a face that told a story of intellectuality and refinement, depth of soul and zest of life, happiness and pleasure, love and passion, such a face as commands the service and homage of men. He had seen much of her during the four years they had been in Varsity together, but never had he thought of her and longed for a sight of her as now, when they seemed separated forever. He awoke from his reverie with a start. The little girl opposite him was watching i 101 THE SABIDURIA him with a doubtful, troubled look in her eyes. The old Doctor was coming toward them with two letters in his hand. There were only two, both for Jackson, and having delivered them the old gentleman, with a fond smile for the pair, turned back into the house. Both letters had been forwarded from his Varsity address. One was a small square envelope with a well known maroon seal. It contained, as he expected, the announcement of Prexy's Mother-in-law's after commencement reception. His keen pleasure showed itself in his face when he saw that in the corner was written the name of Marion Harland. Tossing the card and envelope across to her without looking up, he broke the seal on the other and read this: My Dear Mr. Jackson, Do you remember the story, The Triumph o' The Heart, the psychological problem in which we were discussing? You will recall that you insisted that I should let you know if I could find the story again, as you wished to see it. Well I have found it. Prexy's Mother-in-law tells me that I am to have the pleasure of seeing you the l4th. If so I will give you the story then, if not, I don't think you will be any longer interested in it anyway. Trusting your vacation is being pleasantly begun, I am, Sincerely, MARION HARLAND. How like her it was. A challenge, a dare, a plea, all in one conventional sentence - how keen to read people and quick to understand, was it any wonder she could command men? And better men than he perhaps, would serve long to secure the favor she was showing him while he - He stopped aghast. What was he thinking? What was he intending? Could he -- Looking up quickly he surprised her looking at him with an expression of fear, of keen, uncertain, yet apprehensive pain, as though she felt an impending, inevitable woe of which she could know nothing. Oh, my dear, my dear. forgive me, he cried passionately, as he sprang toward her, but even as he was about to press her closely in his arms, as his tongue would form sweet words of endearment, a still awful something, silent as death and cruel as a whiplash, seemed to come between them and drive them apart. His embrace was colcl'and passion- less, his tongue was silent. IT WAS THE AWAKENINC. The battle was fierce and bitter but short and the outcome inevitable. When a mans heart calls he is helpless to disobay. He was lighting for the matured plan of years, the hope of a lifetime. The power of the will, the dictates of conscience, the call of duty - even love itself - were all martialed together and together they met defeat. It was in very truth, The Triumph o' The Heart. Four years before he had cherished in his heart an Ideal and it had been this little village girl who loved and trusted him. For four years he had been training and developing his mind, character and body, and he had developed, up and ever up, until he was no more the village boy of yesterday than the babe in the cradle is the man. And during this time his heart, that he had tried to shut out of the new 102 '-X, THE.. SABIDURIA life, had been busy feeding and nourishing its Ideal and it had grown anclideveloped, up and ever up, until from the little village girl, who had waited for him unchanged, it had grown into a woman of the world, the new world he had learned to live in -- yes in very truth until it had grown into - 1 A The 2:16 train the next day, the l3th, would get him into the city with a couple of hours in which to dress.

He explained the commercial nature of this trip to the old Doctor but when he turned to her he knew that she understood. She kissed him goodbye and bade him Godspeed without a murmur and turned back to her narrow little life of love and service in the village. With so high a sense of honor and so refined and- sensitive a nature, his suffering was far keener than hers, but his heart sang joyously, to the rhythm of the car wheels, Going home, going home, and he must follow it. And home he was going, indeed - home to the world the great moving world, the beautiful world, with its bounding life and throbbing heart - the world of fair women and brave men, from which Marion Harland seemed to look out and smile and beckon to him -- calling him to his own. -is as as When Strong heard of it-Strong the cynic, the analyst, the student of human nature, who sought always after the truth of things - he smiled a cold little cynical smile and swore softly under his breath. Poor little girl, he murmured, poor little girl! It seems terrible that she must go down under the wheel. But then that is only Life and Life is what we all, perforce, must live. - 103 IHE. SABIDURIA The Day Before Commencement The Other Side of Student Life WILLIAM RILEY VANBUSKIRK First Prize Poem in The Sabiduria Contest 'Twas twilight hour when First we met. Shall I forget? The moon up in the depths of blue Was painting all a silver hue. The sun so lately gone to rest Had glorified the dying west. Your voice and laugh, with richness filled My soul with mute enchantment thrilled. Shall I forget? Shall I forget? The true love I can ne'er regret. Must I forget? The glimpse of heaven in that Iirst kissg The engulhng How of rhythmic blissg And after that the cruel night You bade my fancies all take flight: That dream of happiness through life When you should be my own, my wife. Must I forget? Must I forget? Those simple words: I'll wait for you,' Can I forget? Can I forget the promise trueg Eternal loyalty to you? Can I forget the depths of love Sanctioned from the throne above? That covenant I formed with you Solemn as cleath, as heaven true Shall I forget? lVIust I forget? Can I forget? 104 THE. SABIDURIA Monologue Dedicated to The Senior Class '08 What wealth of ecstasy and wild delight Within these college walls has charmed my soul. Or silent beauty of the moonlit night I-las touched me as across its grounds I stroll. O, priceless treasure of her wooded groves! Sweet, subtle fragrance of her verdant lawns! And cushioned velvet of soft, grassy coves Hard at the feet of lofty evergreens! I-Ier place in memory's realm is fixed secure: And, while her precepts fill with conscious power, I know her secrets in my soul endure. 'Twere scarce in mortal tongue to give them name, Or half their passion's fullness here proclaim. Yet, welcome links, they bind me by their grace! Sweet fantasies of youth's ephemeral hour, Strange, magic castles that to skyward tower, Soft, thrilling raptures in Acadian bower, I paint their gladness in but meagre words. - Alas, a stealing sadness bears me change. I..ife's dearest joys are always tinged with pain, And we, tomorrow eve, must meet to say goodbye To Seniors whom no more this sapphire sky, These sacred walls and dreamy, whispering halls Shall know as constant dwellers like of old. I..ife's battles are before them. Some to die Upon bleak deserts in far distant lands: Some to bear aloft their nation's banner: Some to teach, to hold the jurist's chair, Or by strange gift of alchemy transform To fertile fields earth's waste and arid sands. They go. We cannot bid them stay. A common thing. - Yes, 'tis but common. Only a longing in our hearts. Another wound. Another tearing of our souls apart From friends whose very life has strengthened ours. Another drooping of our spirits, till. in tears, The lonely vigils of our weary years Draw near their close, and, in the dark, Our bosoms desolate, we sleep, And wake to brighter worlds. DANIEL S. McCORKLE, '09 105 THE SABIDURIA A Co-Educational Dream SUSAN BARNUM, 'I 1. I. Dear Sis: -I have been here a week now, and the place is the real goods. Was afraid I woulcln't take to it much --a co-ed-school, because you know girls never were my long suit. At home they seemed always in the way, but here -- well they are about five feet high, with hair just the color of ripe hay, the kind that winds around your finger, if you put your finger in it, and dark blue eyes, and lips so nearly the color of ripe cherries they make you want to taste them. She had me going right from the start. I was standing out in the hall yesterday talking to another fellow and his girl, and she told me she saw just the girl she wanted me to meet 'coming up the walk. I coulcln't think of any excuse to get away then, couldn't very well tell her I didn't care for girls, thank you, and after I turned around and saw the girl, I didn't want to tell her that because is wasn't so any more. I'd like to tell you about meeting her and what she said, but somehow I don't seem to remember much about it, so I guess I'll shut off now, with lots of love to all the people. Yours, BOB. II. Dear Kid: - There's nothing like it only more of it. She's in my last after- noon class, said she was there before I met her, but I don't see how she could have been. I guess I didn't notice her because she sits in the back of the room, and doesn't often say anything. She's a game little sport and all that, but she doesn't care much for studying. She says she likes to read, but I don't know what kind of books. I saw a book by the Duchess on her porch the other day, but I don't think she was reading that. I walk home from school with her in the afternoons and see a good deal of her at school, and the other night I took her to some kind of a blow-out for the new students. It was a moonlight night. I'm getting along fairly well at school, but it seems like something is the matter with me lately, I don't seem to have much time to study. One of the professors told me that I wasn't living up to the promise of my first weeks work. I told him it was a mistake to make conclusions too soon, and that made him a little sore. I'm going to see her to--night, for the first time. Wish you would hunt up my High School pin and send it down right away. We're having some great tennis weather now. She is a dandy tennis player, but she seems to get tired pretty often during a set. Gee -- its six-thirty now, and I told her I'd be there at half past seven. Did I tell you her name was Judith Markham? Your old pal. BOB. III. Dear Sis: -- Thought I would write down and tell you never mind about the class pin. I guess you might as well keep on wearing it. I have a vacant hour now. Guess nut: 4 THE SABIDURIA when I finish this I'll go read a little, seems like I haven't had time to read lately. I used to read in the afternoon after school a good deal, but I've been getting home pretty late. I expect to have more time hereafter. By the way, Sis, I guess I might as well 'fess up about that call last night, for its all off now, and she gazes at the stars and clouds when I pass by. I got there at 7:25 and she came down about 7:30. As soon as she came in her mother came too and stuck for about half an hour. When Judith came in she had closed the door, but that didn't suit the mother's plan and when she slid she left it open and sat down in the next room. Judith knew how to get ahead of that play though - I guess she had been there before - for she went to the piano and commenced to play just loud enough to drown what we were saying. Mother read till about half past nine o'clock. Then she got up and we heard her lumber- ing up the steps -- she weighs about two hundred pounds. When we heard her get to the upstairs regions, she leaned back and grinned. at me, with her hair brushing my coat and with upturned face, Sis, the mouth was just too tempting, it just had to happen. My lips were close to hers when all at once I jumped back like I had been shot. She looked surprised- it was funny I'll admit, when suddenly I saw by the flame in her cheek that she understood. I don't remember how I got to the door, but the next thing I do remember, I was out in the cool night air, still conscious of the smell of onions, Nuff said. . Yours ever, BOB. 35' 13 efmrgsiasa F' J Nr' N, Yassin 'iraq +s4ftl'li'n'.f-'est .etu.gl.lj5f ' s'l:'.WL,f n,5E,o 'N 107 THE SABIDURIA A Lily Beaten by a Hailstorm Suggested by a hailstorm on March 27, '08 DANlEl..

A A Word About Our Advertisers -' f' A i rfWiiiif?T?'?f'TZ7ffH ii' ., f ain L31 5' 7 J . This Annual was made possible by the generous support given our enterprise by the business men of Marshall and elsewhere. We could not have gotten out a book anything like so complete had it not been for their support, if we would have even attempted one at all. We therefore are greatly indebted to them and are glad to render to them a generous measure of credit for our success. We desire to call their attention and our students to the following facts at this time: First-Missouri Valley College spends through her corporation, faculty, student body and families living here solely because of the College, not less than SIO0,000 annually. This is equal to the annual payroll of a factory employing l50 men at an average wage of 52.50 per day throughout the year. It is a sum of such importance that its withdrawal would seriously affect every regular line of trade. ' Second- ln our town, and in 90W of the other Colleges towns of the country, College year books and monthly magazines are made possible through the fairmindedness of certain of the business men enjoying the benefits coming from the establishment of such an institution in their community. On the other hand they are hindered by a lack of a spirit of reciprocity on the part of some likewise enjoying the same benefit. Conclusion - The duty of the student to help those who help him, by helping the various activities of his College, seems to us to be the only deduction possible from the above statements.

One day, however, Mc Ginnis sent his servant over with a peace- malcing note which ready- Prof. Mc Ginnis sends his compliments to Prof. Grube and begs to say that his old cat died this morning. Grube's written reply was bitter:- Prof. Crube is sorry to hear of Prof. lVlc Ginnis' trouble, but he had not heard that Mrs. Mc Ginnis was ill. The following was handed in, in an analysis to Prof. Shepherd:- We have Knot because we ask a miss. To interpret it, Prof. Shepherd would write- We have a lcnot, because we aslc a miss.

A youth and maid together strolled Upon a bright spring day, The 1addie's name was Archibald, The lassie's name was May. 2. Never a thought of love had they Until Dan Cupid sent his dart, And watching for them that bright s rm a - D E 5, Pierced each innocent little heart. 3. Spring is such a dangerous season With chattering bird and sighing wind, 'Tis enough to steal a sage's reason, It does it's Work on all man-kind. 4. Alas, the bashful Archibald, Alas, the blushing May, The little story soon is told, Just hear what people say. 5. Dan Cupid tells it far and wide, He never tries to keep it. Into each ear he will conilde This foolish couple's secret. SPRING FEVER. 6. Arch sits and gazes on her face, He never saw a face so fair. The light of life is in her eyes, He finds his sunshine in her hair. 7. He sends her postals by the score, And flowers twice a Week, He stands each evening at her door And looks the love he cannot speak. 8. Teachers scold them in every class, They only blush and soon forget. Cupid just laughs at this lad and lass, 'Tis not the ilrst couple he's beset. 9. Alas, the days too swjiftly pass, Commencement day is drawing nigh, And sadder grow this lad and lass, For soon this twain must say Good-b 10. Commencement comes in all it's glory, Many a heart heaves forth a sigh, It tells again the old old sto ye. , FY, Friends and Freshles must say Good-bye. ll. The last evening 'neath a great elm tree He drew her close unto his side, Then he asked her modestly To he his fair young bride. 12. And all too willingly she gave The promise that he sought, And let him kiss her only once, Tho' she knew she ought to not. 13. And 'tis just the same old tune, The bard is always loath to sing, Each forget the other soon, 'Twas just a love-affair of spring. 14. But let me just explain a bit, Before I close this foolish lay, Professor Place's music does more harm, Than any bright spring-day. 15.

What do you want P Is there any way I can escape taking this Freshmen Greek? Tut, tut, said Grube, there is no such thing as Freshmen Greek. I mean, faltered Charles, Greek that the Freshmen study. The Dean brandished his spectacles in the air. That's just it, be thundered, there is'nt one in a hundred that ever studies it.

Miss Whitehead: No, it isn't wrong to steal. Don't you girls remember the night I stole half-a-pound of butter. No one knows that to this day. Yes, and l stole a quart of milk once and that was not wrong, said Elizabeth Frye. Even Pearl Gooding was forced to admit that that kind of stealing was not wrong.

Uncle Dan boasts that he is the oldest ,man in point of service on the faculty, having laid brick on the main building when it was in process of erection. He has been here so long that he has gotten to be a Hxture. Generation after generation of students have come to love him because of the faithful discharge of his duties, his unfailing kindness, and deep concern in all that interests the College or student-body. By his deep questions he has stirred many a budding theologue to real thinking, by his unfailing willingness to serve the students in any capacity he has gotten a large place in their hearts. , ' We take it that both old and new students alike will prize this volume because it contains his picture. 1 175 ' By Way of Closing. For you, our reader, whether you are of the Academy, the College, the Faculty, the Alumni or of our outside friends, we have worked. In planning, in completing, in choosing, in rejecting, in all the working, delving, in all the failure, disappointment, and heartache that has entered into the task we undertook, the one aim that ever hung before us was to so clothe our ideal and to so make it express itself that it would be your ideal too. If we have succeeded in anyway, your approval, if it be sincere and true, is our ample reward. If we have failed, deal kindly with us, is our plea. ' DAS ENDE.. fxgb Q. 0 i 176 ,
