MARTHA WILSON he Qwzihesian Harem A famous group are the Aesthesian girls Who full of mirth and fun Have added much to our school life Since their work here begun. A group so full of noble deeds, From morning until night, That college life is not a dream Instead of toil and iight. Each girl some gift rarely displays Of music, voice or art, P And makes these halls so full of life Of which they are a part. To all wherein it may concern, Or who these lines may read We'll name them every one to see In what line each succeeds. Some girls as Sadie, Mae and Faye Are girls Who tend to work, And Wilma, Anna and Miss Bliss - Their duties never shirk. Miss Pauline Specht's our Chaplin brave Who points the way to live And many noble, lovely talks To us weekly does give. There's Minnie Brott, a sober girl, Who is so afraid of noise, And who has oft been heard to say, Does not love any boys. Bertha Boling with rosy cheeks, Ruth Entrikin so tall, And Dorsey Griffey with brown eyes, Are girls much loved by all. Here's Sylvia Fellers and Miss Nell, Who we are proud to say, Are Seniors in Piano now, A And know just how to play. The Misses Ruth and Mary Barnes Were never quite well known, Elmore and her cousin Maude Got homesick and went home. Ere We pass on I'm bound to say That Ruby is a jewel, And warbles like a nightingale, At many stunts in school. There's Mrs. Bane and Vera I-Iorn, Who won our big debate, And Opal Moore who you all know, To class is always late. Such girls as Grace and Vera Hughes Are members who they say, Will do things as they should be done Or find a better way. Now Golda Davis works quite hard And never stops to frown. And Eva Shannon's bashful face In school here does abound. In all our troubles or distress To Claudia we go, And always get a cheerful talk That always helps us so. And Elsie is a happy girl Who takes life as it is, And Leta I-Iuling never grieves Or takes much time to iiz.

Mr. Holmes, Sunderworth and Crow composed the Tarkio team, who debated the affirmative side of the question. . Mr. Peterson, Lunan and Keith represented Tarkio here, debating the negative side of the question, against Mr. Byron Horn, Mr. -Cooper and Foard.

A. rejoice in earnest, active work, that will count mos-t in developing real character. This is evident when We think of the interesting and helpful meetings which were held Sunday afternoons and the practical Work done by the Gospel Teams. Those teams consisted of four or five fellows who are sent out to neighboring towns for the purpose of doing evangelistic work. Officers for the coming year are: THOMAS McKEE - President R. E.

Qlahinei One of the greatest factors in moulding the religious thought and life of the girls of the school is the Young Women's Christian Association. - It is the girl who spends an hour every Sunday afternoon in these meetings that can most truly tell of the spiritual benefits and help to be received there. In an informal and almost uncon- scious Way the girls impart ideas and experiences from their own lives that inspire ideals in the lives of the girls with whom she daily associates. Miss Ruth Farwell, who attended the Summer Conference 'at Estes Park has been a faithful president and all through the year has brought inspirations to us from that great meeting.

He opened up the season with what prom- ised to be a no scoring squadg all men, nearly, were green. But after putting all his soul and strength into his Work he began to be rewarded by the boys bringing home the turkey. And they at last, after taking Well the coaching, received from Pix, Won' state championship. In basket ball he also did Well, considering the circum- stances under Which the men have to play. Wesleyan is justly proud of a coach who can accomplish so much the first year. 5 . ' ' 1. .-is Ju. .-. k Q V x jllnni 'Ball liehiem When school opened in September, 1914, the outlook for a foot ball team looked anything but favorable. In the first place four or ive of Wesleyan's heaviest and best players were lost by graduation. These men had to be replaced by new and unex- perienced men. In the second place, the men as a whole were much lighter than any previous year, and it was therefore necessary to develop speed and endurance. But these handicaps linked with many others were finally overcome through the manage- ment of none other than James E. PiXlee,' former M. U. star. . As the season progressed the athletes developed both physically and mentallyfand as the season was drawing to a close they had one more ring to reach before reaching the top of the championship ladder. This was the game with William Jewell College on Thanksgiving day. T y To make a-long story short, M. W. C. Won the game 10-7, thus cinching their claim to the state title, and closing the most successful foot-ball season Missouri Wesleyan has ever witnessed. W. R. YETTER Union Star, Mo. Pep, Captain of the 1914 state champions, and one of the men Who played in every minute of every confer- ence game of the year. Left end and Quarter-back were the positions filled by Pep this year. At end he played a good consistent game throughout the season. It should be remembered that Gen. Pep succeeded Gen. Ing in the VVarrensburg game and piloted his Army to a very successful and grati- fying victory. Pep is 21 years of age, Weighs 150 pounds and is a Junior in College. J. F. POLAND Cameron, Mo. Ing, third year on the varsityg Capt. 1913.5 Capt. elect 1915. Unani- mous choice all state quarter, 1914. A fine open field runner and the best drop kicker the conference has seen in years. Ing is the best all-round man on the 1914 team-A fine spirited, fearless, open Held player. A credit to any team. He received his Prep. training in the C. H. S. Ing is 22 years old, 5 feet, 9 inches tall and Weighs 145 pounds. E. B. HENDERSON , Cameron, Mo. I Hen ended his fourth and last sea- son of foot-ball at M. W. C. this year. He played in every game of the year With a consistency of nerve and endur- ance shown by few foot ball men. He played his last game against Wm. Jewell College on Thanksgiving day, displaying determination and confidence that contributed largely to our victory on that day. Hen is 22 years old, Weighs 170 pounds. He is another all state selection. His home is in Camer- on and he finishes in College this year. PAUL MCCOOL Cameron, Mo. Rooney, full-back, played his sec- ond year on the varsity. Without ex- ception, Rooney played every minute of every game of the season. The merits of his playing are not of the spectacu- lar type, but are of the steady, con- sistent playing. A Willing Worker and could be depended upon at any time to carry the pig-skin. McCoo1 is a Sopho- more in College, is 5 feet, 10,inches tall, weighs 160 pounds and makes his home in Cameron. V. ELLWOOD , Cameron, Mo. Doc, ' half-back, played his second year on the varsity in 1914. Played his first foot-ball game in a Wesleyan suit. Doc weighs 148 pounds, is 5 feet, 10 inches tall and is 19 years old. Ex- cept for a few minutes of the West- minster game Doc was in there scrap- ping all the time. I-Ie is probably the most aggressive man on the squad-a Herce tackler on defense and lots of speed on offense. Within the next two years we expect to see his name top- ping the best of them. He is a Fresh- man in College and lives in Cameron. VICTOR LOCKHART Linneus, Mo. A Vic, center on the varsity this year and played throughout the season. He looks awkward when not in action and after each play he seems to rise from the ground as in dire distress, but when opponents think Vic is all in they are in for the surprise of their lives. I-Ie is the toughest, strongest and shyest player on the team and was given a berth on the mythical, all state selec- tions at Center. Vic is 22 years old, six feet tall and Weighs 165 pounds. A Senior in College and comes to us from the vicinity of Linneus, Mo. ' H. Q LOCKHART - Lirmeus, Mo. Harry played both- tackle' and guard and in one game he served at center. He- is an exceptionally good defensive player, a fierce sure tackler and able to keep himself well in hand. He is a very valuable man and will be one of the important cogs in our 1915 ma- chine. He is 5 feet, 11 inches tall. Weighs 160 pounds. E. EBERHART Ottowa, Kansas Eb, end, won his first VV at foot ball this season. He Weighs 150 pounds, 5 feet, 6 inches tall and is 21 years old. Eb is another who played every minute of every co-nference game. He is a sure tackler, exceptionly fast under punts and always ready to go again. Even though handicapped by lack of experience he was picked as an all state end. In the language of the prophets he is a comer. ' F. CROPPER TCZGS Cropper seems to be the man of all work. He played end, tackle, and half- back, however he plays his best game at tackle and on the defense. He is good at passing and receiving forward passes. Cropper has the ideal foot ball build,-tall, rangy and yet plenty of weight below the waist. His main de- fect is his inability to get a quick start. He was one of the most valuable men of the 1914 team and is sure to be one of the main features of our 1915 sea- son. Cropper is 6 feet tall and Weighs 175 pounds. R. PARSHALL Cameron, Mo. Bob was unableto appear in a suit until the season was Well started, but he Worked his Way into the 'regulars with surprising speed. His work on the defense was especially commend- able. He played tackle' throughout the season and was the lightest man inside the ends. He is 5 feet, 9 inches tall, Weighs 150 pounds and is 25 years old. This is his second ,year on thelvarsity. ' v D. METZ A Braymer, Mo. A Metz has the requisite of a good foot ball player. . He played his first sea- son of foot ball at M. W. C. this year. He is a Willing Worker and a good scrapper-his defensive Work in the Central and Jewell games aided ma- terially in our victory over these schools. I-Ie was the heaviest man on the team, Weighing 195 pounds. With a little more experience he should develop into one of the best line- men ever seen in the Conference. He is 6 feet, 1 inch tall, 21 years old and Weighs 195 pounds. P. HOPKINS Edgerton, Mo. Hoppie is another representative on the mythical all state selections. He played his Iirst season of foot ball this year, he played at guard and tackle. He is 5 feet, 10 inches tall, Weight 165 pounds and is 17 years old. Hoppie started off with a rush and then lost interest but later came back and de- livered the goods. He was especially strong on defen-se. He should develop into one of the best foot ball. players of the Conference. - .-4,-W , ,W-.aut vnwv-un-v--v...,. ...-..,..-.-.7-fy.. Y..- .. ...

According to one editor, You can 7t tell any thing about the language a man has-until he has lost his last collar button and is trying to catch the next train. If the words of newspaper men are to be taken as trustworthy, the wives of the Caudlesl have never lost the art of having the last word, and it doesn't seem to have lost its decadence in the school room yet, especially, when the teacher is a little unwary. It is neces- sary, first, to determine what constitutes a good talker. A In the words of Holmes, a good conversationalist is a person who has fresh ideas, and plenty of good warm words to dress them. VVant of words, want of ideas, and want of manners, are the principal faults. But worse than these-long arguments on special points between people who differ on the fun- damental principals, upon which these points depend, are to be avoided. Bacon says, The most honorable part in conversation is to start the subject, again to moderate and pass to something else, to vary and inter-mingle speech with arguments, tales with reason, asking of questions with telling of opin- ions and jest with earnest 5 for it is a dull thing to tire, or jade anything too far. Wit has its proper place in conversation. As for jest, there are certain things which should be privileged from it, namely, religion, matters of state, greatopersons, any man's present business of importance, and any case that deserves pity. Wh.ile wit has its proper place in conversation, lending it fire and piquancy, yet it should be carefully used, as there is danger of wound- ing. Holmes says that a pun is Prima Facie-, an insult to the person you are talking with, and that people that make puns are like wanton boys that put coppers on the railroad tracks. They amuse themselves and other chil- dren, but their little trick may upset a freight train of conversation for the sake of a battered witticism. Again, one must be possessed of a good fund of knowledge, to converse well. One of the authorities says, He that ques- tioneth much shall learn much, and content much 5 but especially if' he apply his questions to the skill of the persons-, whom he askethf' In this way he not only pleases them but himself gains knowledge, always avoiding trouble- some questions, and being sure, to leave other men their turn to speak. Speaking of one's self, should be seldom, for there is but one case wherein a man may commend himself with good grace 5 and that is by commending vir- tue in another. At the same time, it is necessary to have a sufficient amount of self-esteem to appear confident, and to be discreet and agreeable to those with whom we talk is accounted better than eloquence. It is a good thing, generally, to show regard for another's opinion, and among the first virtues of a good conversationalist is that of conveying the impression that he is a good listener. This always pleases peopleis vanity, and is one of the great 1 charms and most to be desired of social gifts. ln considering the branches of knowledge required for making a good appearance, it is a well known saying, that, Histories make men wise, Poets, witty, mathematics, subtle, Natural philosophy, deep, Moral philosophy, grave, Logic ard Rhetoric, able to con- tend. Therefore it is necessary to be proficient in these branches. it The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table says-, Some people seem to think that absolute truth in the form of rigidly stated propositions is all that con- versation admits. Don 't flatter yourselves that friendship authorizes you to say disagreeable things to your intimates. On the contrary, the nearer you come into relation with a person, the more -necessary do tact and courtesy be- come. Except in cases of necessity, which are rare, leave your friend to learn unpleasant truths from his enemies,-they are ready enough to tell them. He says, That talking is like playing on the harp, there is as much in lay- ing the hand on the strings to stop vibration, as in twanging them to bring out their music. And just as music must have its flourishes as well as its perfect chords and simple melodies, so conversation must have its partial truths, and its exaggerated truths. It is in its higher forms an artistic pro- duct and admits the ideal element, as much as pictures and statues. One man who is a little too literal can spoil the talk of a whole ta.bleful of men of culture. Remember that talking is one of the fine arts,-the noblest, the most important and the most difficult,-and that its fluent harmonies may be spoiled by the intrusion of a single harsh note.-Therefore conversation which is suggestive, rather than argumentative, which lets out the most of each talker's results of thought, is commonly the most pleasant and profit- able. Certainly,if we could think as the Autocrat, no one would regret the art. lt is a sad commentary on our schools and colleges that it should be spoken of as a Lost art. Recently the authorities of Yale have decided that only those shall receive a diploma from that institution, who prove them- selves able to speak and write the English language fluently. A news- paper comments that if this decree is carried out, graduates of Yale will be conspicuous in any assemblage. Wliy should this be true, with the increase of books, the diffusion of knowledge, and the better educational facilities over those of decades ago? Not to speak of the added help which foreign travel affords. We are inclined to agree with the old philosopher, Bacon, that scholars come too soon and too unripe to logic and rhetoric-arts fitter for graduates than children and novices, for the two, rightly taken, are the greatest of sciences-, being the arts of arts, the one for judgment, the other for ornament. And they be the rules and directions, how to act forth and dispose matters and therefore empty minds, Cwhich have not gathered what Cicero calls stuff and varietyj, to be- gin with those arts, works the effect that their wisdom, which is great and 'universal is made contemptible, and it degenerates into childish sophistry and ridiculous affectation. And the untimely learning of them hath drawn on, by consequence the superficial and unprofitable teaching of them, as falleth indeed to the capacity of children. In short, We don't know howto talk, and When We go out into life, this Want is soon found out by ourselves, and sooner byothers.-'15, l 92 S- it 09112 ,Ari Zllaxwz Gumehg CR Clheq1e15e1:11i1:e.

Two years ago I very suddenly had a rising inspiration, said incentive coming from the heels of a sanguinary mule, and concentrating on the west side of my pantaloons with absolute spontaneous accuracy. I gathered my- self up, bit at a time, and removed the terra firma from my damaged anatomy. Often had I heard that every little movement had a meaning all its own, but never before had the fact been so firmly impressed upon me as now. My fascination for farm life suddenly ceased and my destiny advanced a cog in the great wheel of fate. Sept. 7, 1913, found me on board a train bound for Cameron. Probably you may surmise that I intended to enter M. W. C. 'Why I selected this institution of fame has already remained a per- plexing mystery. The only way I can account for this deed is the sudden- ness of the inspiration. I Having dismounted from the train I was confronted by several young men, each of whom seemed extremely desirous of making my acquaintance. Each wore a small red ribbon decorated with the letters Y. M. C. A. I had heard about the con men in the cities and supposed that Y. M. C. A. meant '4Young Men's Criminal Association, therefore I gave them to un- derstand that I was not as uncured as I appeared. I clung firmly to my carpet-bag, denying their proffered assistance. After some inquiry I reached the college and proceeded to learn many' new things, for this was registration day. How I ever found a room and signed up for my winter's work I do not remember, but very distinctly I do remember my first meal in the college dining hall, and such a meal, if it can be called, such as it was. Soon I found the concensus of opinion among all Freshmen was that too much study and not enough play meant eternal punishment in after life. This was clearly brought before my vision one night when I was hounded to my peacefulhome by some demented demons who were aided by a liberal col- lection of Irish confetti, pebbles and stale eggs. This episode marked a turn- ing point in my career. I began to stall in my classes and to attend all noto- rious functions. Since then I have made it a point to be present at all func- tions, such as the burning of a hay stack or exploiting an expedition against some unfortunate preacher who was conscientiously wending his way home- ward through the evening twilight. This year I am classed as a Sophomore. How or by what means I am given that honor has been a .matter of much concern to me. What awaits me in the next two or three years remains a story yet untold. ' T. L. '17. Er. 152111155 2511112 Zfahur. Doctor Benny, as everyone called him, had come from New York before his mother died, to care ffor her. After she died, he stayed on. It was told about the neighborhood that he had promise- of a great career before him inf the city, and these simple people of the hills could not at first understand Why he should remain there, and work among them. It was forty years now since he had taken up his work curing the ailing and caring for the poor, and the new generation had cdmeto accept him as he was, and asked no ques- tions. Little did they know the real reason that brought about his determ- ination to stay there among the people of his birth. The way of it was this: Benny Simpson had played with the children of the Ridge during his childhood. Barefoot, he fished in summer and wearing rough cowhides, hunt- ed in winter. 1 He lived the rough, wild life of the back-woodsman, having few joys and few sorrows-content to eat and sleep. His mother was a silent, brooding woman, his father he did not remember. The mother paid little attention to her boy. She had the simple food ready for him when he came at meal time to eat it. There was no break in the monotony of the life of these two except the occasional trips the boy Benny made to the nearest town, twenty miles dis- tant. lt was after one of these times that he startled his mother by calmly announcing, l'm going to school. But his mother made no comment other than, 'tWell, l'll help you all I can. That was all. Benny went away to school-first to the Grammar school in the city, later to High School. The country folks had always known 'Cthere was something wrong with Emily Simpson but now they knew she was stark, starin' mad, the idee of send- ing that little Benny off to study, and rakin' and scrapin' and starvin' her- self to keep him there. But Benny went to school, and he studied. His mother felt a thrill of subdued joy when she received his irst letter, written in a boyish scribble. He was surprised and delighted at her answer, which placed his mother in an entirely new light to him. So the days wore on into weeks and months and years. Each summer Benny spent at home, tilling the rough little farm, and delighting the heart of the silent woman who was his mother. During the long winter months she pinched and saved in order that her boy might have that which he de- sired. She watched him grow into strong, handsome young manhood, and her heart thrilled at the sight of him and at the changes she saw in him. He was very different from the men of the hills-different in looks and manners and speech, different in his little courtesies and attentions at which she always flushed with pleasure but spoke no word. Benny was not to understand his mother and know what life had held for her until a few years later. The next week after his graduation from High School, when he had come home to her, flushed with the triumph of a place on the Honor Roll, they sat talking of the future which was really his future. Mother -he always called her mother now- I'm going to be a Doctor. A surge of joy swept over her. Benny, Benny boy, how did you know? How could you know that that is what I have hoped for you all these years? Yes, my boy, that is what you shall be. So he returned to the city to study. His mother was the same silent woman-only perhaps tenderer and kinder than before. She worked on and on-growing thinner and poorer day by day-until by the time Benny had Hnished his medical education she had become very old and tired and worn. Her son had had little time to spend at home the last few years and she wanted him-Oh, so much! When he received a call to her bedside one night it took but one glance to assure him that human aid could not keep her. He did what he could to make her comfortable and told the kindhearted, nearest neighborhood who had come four' miles, to get a little restl' and he would stay with his mother. I ' For a few minutes therenwas silence in the rough room, then slowly the wasted form turned on the bed and the large, sunken, hungry eyes raised .to feast on his face. And when he had bent closer to her, she pressed her parched, mother-tender lips to his smooth warm ones. y She raised her hard- ened toil-worn hands to smooth his hair and murmured tenderly. And then when he propped her up among the pillows she told him of her early life and why she was glad he had chosen the profession he had. Your father, Benny, was so big and strong and full of life that it seem- ed impossible that any harm could come to him. - I'll never forget the time I first saw him. Mother had sent me. to the store on an errand and I saw him come along down the street, swinging his broad shoulders, and my, but he did look grand! Such a big, fine, specimen of manhood! The kind of man that the hills always produce-men so physically superior, but with uncul- tured minds and manners. After I saw him, I never rested until I knew him, and in a few weeks we were married. My folks never forgave me for marry- ing, as they said, beneath me. We came here to his home, and even though everything seemed strange, we were so very happy together. Folks thought me cold and different because I dressed and acted unlike them. Then one day they brought him home, bruised and crushed and bleeding. A tree he was cutting fell sooner than he expected and he couldn't get away in time. Jake Fillmore started acrossthe Ridge, twenty miles, for old Doctor Benson. But it was so far and he was gone too long, Benny-that night your poor father died, and I could never get over the shock of it-never, never! And now, my boy, the promise from you I want to take away into the Great Beyond is this: That you Will stay here among these poor people who need you. There are plenty to do the Work in the great city. It is here there is the greatest need. These people need you most. Promise me, my son. He had taken the promise and she had slipped her poor, tired hands in- to his to thank him, smiling into the future she saw for him. With the smile on her lips and his promise in her ears she died. All this Was forty years ago when Doctor Benny Was thirty. So he had given up the promise of a great career to fulfill the promise of love. He stay- ed among these humble folks, curing the sick, and caring for the poor and outcast. The promise had gone With him on every call of sickness, birth or death. It Went with him into every cabin and caused a World of joy when he had saved a lifeg and it caused him to feel a World of genuine sorrow, when. like that other doctor years before,lhe Was too late. He had no time to think over What might have been-he was too busy. And at the end of every long, hard dayis Work, there Was the memory to comfort him-the memory of the mother Who had done so much for him and who he knevv Was glad because of his Work of love for her. s A WINIFRED WITT, '18. .

He maketh me to have good lessons and he leadeth me to much glory. 3. He raiseth my understanding, he leadeth me into the paths of knowlQ edge for credit 's sake. ' 4 4. Yea, tho' I plod thru' the 4th hook of Virgil, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me, thy words and thy praise they comfort mej 5.
