You have shared in the labor of making it. It is our hope that you may also share in the pleasure of its final completion and may find Within its covers sufli- cient compensation for all it has cost. Of the many who have aided by their generosity in money, time, and thought we have space to men- tion only a few, but our thanks are not conhned to these alone. Special mention must be made of those whose names appear on the opposite page, for it is they who have helped to keep the standard of th.e Annual high. ' In the work on this book We have had one idea in mind which has made the drudgery enjoyable. The time spent is our small contribution to the meaning of Oberlin. And if this little chronicle of current college events stands for anything more than is im- mediately obvious, it stands for the united efforts of many to raise the ordinary facts of the student world a little nearer to the Ideals of Oberlin-to realize the Oberlin Spirit in the course of daily duties.

For months they had been preparing. All during the year while students were busily getting out lessons and professors were reading novels and doing research work, a faithful few in the college oflices were toiling day by day to com- plete the plans for the great celebration. Oberlin had never had a diamond jubilee before and everyone felt that it must be big. The new buildings were pushed to an approximate completion, untold numbers of letters went out to Oberlin supporters all over the world, other institutions of learning were invited to join in our anniversary gayeties, plans and rumors of plans for housing arid feeding the great crowd were in the air, the faculty were prevailed upon to look up the past history of the college and make chapel services interesting by talks on the Oberlin of long ago-and then at last the thing arrived. 5 To even enumerate the occurrences of these few days would be a giant task. Conferences, addresses, concerts, plays, reunions, ban- quets-we were in a swirl of important events sufficient to intoxicate even the most steady and temperate little college town imaginable. lt was a bewildering, distracting succession of pleasures and gayeties which carried us from Friday to Friday. 14 T H E H I - O - H I 1 9 1 0 Those who engineered the celebration intended it to be typical of the wonderful growth and importance of Oberlin College. They were determined that Oberlin, past and present, should Hnd herself, that those of the past should know what the present is doing and that those of the present should know what the past has done. It was a big idea, and the idea gave impetus and power to a big effort. 5' . First among the events of the week of more than local interest, were the various conferences, dealing in their entirety with almost every important branch of education. Here as elsewhere there was an embarrassment of riches. The addresses were masterly in every way and there were gathered in each conference the strong repre- sentative men of the profession. Perhaps the most important, and perhaps the most interesting of these was the civic conference. Rarely, if ever, does an audience have the opportunity of hearing in the same afternoon the addresses of two such sane and clear- headed observers of our nation-life as Theodore Burton and Norman Hapgood. And the fact that Mr. Burton is an Oberlin alumnus gave an added touch of interest to his part in th.e conference. It is of such Oberlin men that we are most proud, it is from such men that we get the impulse and inspiration to future usefulness and power. 8? Many such men gathered at the society love-feasts. There perhaps, as nowhere else, enthusiastic students past and present came into close con- tact and real fraternity. ln Peters Hall over seven hundred men of th.e three societies met to greet their brothers in oratory and debate. There was given the opportunity of seeing together a representative band of Oberlin men. And it was a sight to inspire one. Not alone thelfull- stomached citizen with limitless bank stock, nor the stern preacher who has fought out his tight on a different line, but every varying degree of stature and occupation was there to show what we mean when we ' 15 V5-..r speak of The Oberlin Man. It is upon this complexity of citizen- ship, upon this composite of manhood, that Oberlin's hope for the future must be built. It is the Oberlin man, in the things he does and the things he stands for who controls our future reputation and strength. Every college has a typical man. We hear them spoken of often, the Harvard Manf' the Yale Man, the Cornell Man, each embodying th.e public judgment of the college he represents. Nor can we expect to escape being crystallized into a type. But we need not fear it. Every college has of course some men who are freaks and faddists, some who bring ridicule upon their Alma Mater. But we are blessedly free from many of the standard varieties. Oberlin Men are in the main a good lot, of whom we can well be proud. A fact which was made most strikingly apparent when we saw them all together at the love-feasts. 5' Of music, of religion, of culture, of the theory of education and of life, of all the things interesting to the one one-hundredth of one per cent there were talks and conferences without end. But in spite of the great number of these addresses and meetings all were well attended and interest in each seemed equally keen. 5' Oberlin without music would be like Oberlin without a rain, and this week of all weeks had its share. Concerts were given by the Musical Union, the Glee Club, the Combined Glee Club, and the Conservatory. All of the concerts were given in the new chapel 16 ' T H E H I - O - H I 1 9 1 0 and the visitors could admire the building, while they listened to the music. Both th.e library and chapel were near completion by June nineteenth, and everybody displayed the liveliest interest in their architecture and practical usefulness. The Olney Art Collec- tion had been moved from Cleveland some little time before and was on exhibition in the library during the whole of Commencement week. -The chapel, rising in its exact symmetry and simple mag- nificence fulhlled in the hearts of the visitors Keats' wonderful syno- nym for a thing of beauty. These substantial evidences of the growth of Oberlin and the generosity of h.er donors, were very fittingly brought to a Hnished state when so many of Oberlin's sons were back to see them. Further comment upon them is useless: they stand witnesses themselves of their usefulness and beauty. 8'6 Of the most unusual feature of the entire week, the alumni dinner, it is difficult to write satisfactorily. It was such a mammoth undertaking that a brief comment is pitifully inadequate. The mere seating and feeding of three thousand people is a task to challenge our admiration. The great crowd was divided and subdivided according to numerals, and from all parts of the tent as the dinner progressed came the rival yells of the classes, from nineteen eightn away back to the fifties, and perhaps even farther. There could, of course, be no unified yelling, and as the event proved, no unified singing, but President King and Madame Johnston brought out a universal applause as they walked through the crowd from one end of the tent to the other. The mere bigness of the throng was intoxicating, as it always is, and everyone felt inclined to vell for Oberlin, for Prexy, or Madame J., or something, from pure joy at being present. Speeches under these conditions were of course impossible, and the frac- tion of the diners who were fortunate enough to have tickets, adjourned to the First Church. to enjoy the post-prandial feast of wit and cleverness. 83 The climax of the festivities and gayety 17 came with the illumination and student pageant on Tuesday night. Under the skillful management of three faculty members the campus assumed aspectacle on that eventful Tuesday night, not surpassed for ligh.ts and enthusiasm by an election night on Broadway. Great festoons of lanterns hung from trees and buildings. From the new flag pole went out radiating lines of light to all parts of the campus. The Commencement attendance had reached its maximum. Every- body was at that high point of careless joy and abandon which char- acterizes all gatherings of old classmates and sch.oo1-fellows. As the time for the parade drew near and the streets bordering the campus became packed with people, one began to realize how many strangers were really among us. Around the reviewing stand in front of Peters Hall the throng was thickestg and all the fun and foolishness of a political night-pageant was rampant among the waiting crowd. in At last the parade appeared, gorgeous beyond words, spouting forth on every side the choking smoke and gas and blinding light of colored Hreworks. The applause was loud and long as the proces- sion moved down the street, and as band after band marched by, the enthusiasm knew no bounds. To detail the various stunts would be impossible. Words could not do them justice. Nothing approach- ing the pageant had ever been done in Oberling and never will be done again perhaps until twenty-four years hence when the college celebrates its hundredth anniversary and the loyal sons and daughters 18 T H E H I - O - H I 1 9 1 0 of Oberlin again return to worship at her shrine and send off fire- works in her honor. But gradually the red-ligh.t gave out and the little fizzers sputtered desperately into darknessg the last division passed Prexy's stand and broke ranksg and the crowd began to move away through the town. Friends and class-mates bade each other good-night and hied them to their beds. The streets were soon deserted and only an occasional fugitive couple who had mis- calculated the length of the parade could be seen hurrying nervously across the campus trying to reach their house before lights were out. The few remaining lanterns burned up and smoked slowly outg and before long the stillness of the night was broken only by the coughing of some enthusiastic parader or the distant strains of an ancient serenade. 8? Reflections upon the usefulness and raison d'etre of all this unusual effort are almost out of place. The thing justifies itself. Oberlin had progressed through seventy-five years of noble and earnest effort for the good of men. It was right that we should hold our little jubilee in remembrance of what we had done, and talk over among ourselves the ach.ievements of our past and the hopes for our future. But if we must have a further reason for so large an undertaking it is ready at hand. Oberlin was in duty bound to tell the outside world what she had ' been doing during all these seventy-five years. Much of the work had been quiet and unseen. The progressive development from a struggling infant institution in the west to one of the foremost educational centers of the country was for the most part unosten- B tatious. At times, to be sure, our - reputation spread abroad, during the war even more perhaps than we deserved. But these occasional flashes only served to dimly light to the public gaze the great stretches of intervening years between. Even our sister col- leges were scarcely aware of our strength and resources. That the world in general, and those who 19 believe th.at college education is not yet a farce and a disgrace to America, might know of the wonderful progress of a college which has consistently adhered to the sound principles upon which college education and our national welfare stand, this celebration was held last June. This was the reason for the conferences and addresses, the dedication of new buildings, the inviting of college representa- tives, the pageant, and the rest-we wanted them to know. But deeper than all this lay the good which it contained for Oberlin herself. , if This was a time when all lovers of old Oberlin could come back and see their college. It was a time when the things wh.ich bind Oberlin students together were more fully felt than ever before. It was a time when those of the past could see the things which we are doing in the present. It was in short, the time when Oberlin, past and present, could survey herselfslnd take account of her future. Probably of the most significance to the oldest alumni among the things which impressed them were the many evidences of change. On every hand they saw a new life and newsurroundings. Even the physical ch.anges were strikingly apparent. Magnificent build- ings of stone where formerly there were but homely structures of wood, motor cars flying along where of yore slow wagons ke-pt their wayg streets aforetime fathoms deep in sticky clay now neatly paved and solid to walk upon, changes all for the better perhaps, but 20 THE HI-O-HI191fl changes calculated to give a moment's pause to those veterans of the past who relied upon rugged virtue and sturdy manliness to conquer every difficulty. The new magnificence, the lust of the eye and the pride of life-can it go along with the old Oberlin traditions and beliefs? It was inevitable that such thoughts should occur. 8'4 , But, accepting as one must th.e outward and some of the inward changes necessarily accessory to the flight of time, the careful observer would Hnally conclude that we have been faithful to our part. There is a new Oberlin to be sure, new men, changing ideas, a moving outer world are bound to have their effect. But true as of yore to the highest principles which men permit to guide them, Oberlin is still in the forefront of those wh.o battle valiantly for the right.

Zguttun ELDOM may it be said of alumni however illustrious, that they have honored the name of Oberlin more than they have been honored by that name. Th.eodore Burton is one of those rare men who has conferred such honor upon this college. He graduated with the class of ,72 leaving a record of brilliancy as a scholar and of stability as a man. His academic record was a mere forecast of a broader and more lasting reputation as a man of affairs. The great congress of hard headed business men at Washington had a place for him, but once he had entered the political arena Burton made a far greater place for himself. Congress needed him and men of all parties continued to elect him. For sixteen years Mr. Burton has consistently represented the best interests of the people in that political storm center, the House of Representatives. This year Oberlin wishes to congratulate him and herself that he has merited and received the highest office in the power of Ohio people to give, a seat in the Federal Senate. Senator Burton is counted among the nationls first citizens because, in a persistent and scholarly manner he has served the people's good. A man of honor in a position of great temptation, a pains-taking scholar in politics, one who commands because facts are commanding, Senator Burton is a true statesman. He proves the practicability of the ideal which Oberlin stands for and America most needs, the man with a long clear view of what should be combined with a shrewd knowledge of what may be. Tall men, sun crowned, who live above the fog In public duty and in private thinking. 23 if a t . . , - A what Big Giant Qbutn Wal, drawled Uncle Hiram, as he settled himself before the kitchen fire for his usual yarn, wal, sir, I never saw th' beat o' th.at fer a real, downright, git-up-and-get, sort o' show,-never 'n all my born days. 5' Yep, I seen a good many crackin' good shows 'n my time, at 'Lyria and round. An' I remember when I wa'n't no older ner Billie there, goin' to Oberlin with dad to see the Hrst-first-, he gazed thoughtfully at the fire, pulled hard on his old pipe, crossed his legs again,- first-why, what th' dickens do ye call it, fake, no that ain't the word, Awl mock-that's the word I bin tryin' to git hold of-to the first Mock Convention they h.ad. Great time that was, tool That was th' time they went an' nominated Abe Lincoln fer th' second term, did it 'fore the regular Convention did, tool if' Have I bin t' any o' 'em since? Wal I should jest say so. I can't see goin' to shows too of'en, but I go t' that mos' every four years. Can't seem t' git out o' th' habit. Crackin' good shows they are. An' th.ey teach ye a hul lot besides. 'Cause Cousin Albert, he seen one o' th' reg'lar kind once in Chicago, and he said it wa'n't half so much fun as th' one to Oberlin. So I don't go to Chicago. Ol yes, I did start out t' tell ye about that 'un they had last spring. Wal, sir, when I fust seed that talk about th' Big Tent I 24 T H E H I - O - H I 1 9 1 0 had'nt no idee what it meant. An' then some feller, ferget jest who 'twas, come along an' told me 'twas another o' them Mock Conven- tions. Wal, I told mother, says I: 'If it's one o' them shows we're goin' if it costs seventy-Hve cents.' So when it come Tuesday, I think it was, we hitched up an' drove in. fb Ye know West College Street there in Oberlin, don't ye? Wal, sir, when we drove down there old Nellie, what ain't got scared in five years, like t' ha' shied clean up into politician Comings' store, fer right over there on the grass plot where th', what ye call it, Chapel used ter be, was th' dumbdedest, biggest tent I ever set eyes on to. That was what they called th' Big Tent. Couldn't see what they wanted t' try t' cover th' h.ul campout,-er whatever 'tis they call that grass plot-,all over with tent fer. But that jest goes t' show ye can't never tell 'til ye see, fer they sure did use it all, an' then acted as if they had a hankerin' fer more. 4 as Wal, mother an' I, we 'et our lunch, an' then kind o' mozied up to- , , wards that circus-like lookin' place. , , An', sir, ye never would believe the rigs , we saw comin' in from all directions. Students th.ey was, all o' 'em. I couldn't help thinkin' I was glad some o' th' old Presidents wa'n't alive, some o' 'em would 'a had fits seein' so many queer get-ups in Oberlin. I thought we must 'a made a mistake an' that it was a real circus after all when I seen such a sight o' paradin' goin' on. There was th' greatest lot o' things,-bandsg a sort o' prairie schooner, like we used ter 25 see when I was a kid, silk hats-nice lookin' ones toog swell dressesg some gals with th' best lookin' oranges a hangin' down from their big hats-sight bigger 'n any use toog an' then some more o' them clown bands what they have to every circus. Then there was a bunch o' th' funniest lookin' Pennsylvania Dutchmen, pipes an' all: an' some gals with big black spots-some sort o',dots mother called 'em- all over their dresses. One couple must 'a come from some ferrin country, fer they had the most rich lookin' sort o' dresses, but they must 'a bin awful hot-somebody said they come from some warm place or other somethin' like Haw-y-a. An' then there come th' funniest kit o' walkin' jugs ye ever heard tell of. Great big jugs- looked jest like them what molasses comes in down to th' store at th' corners, only bigger, an' all ye could see was a little piece o' head stickin' out o' th' snoot an' some wiggly legs under th' blamed things. 8'6 Wal, sir, mother an' I seed they was such a bunch o' 'em comin' that we gets inside th' tent, an' blamed if we didn't h.ave the Worst sort o' a time ter get a seat. Regular circus bleechers they had, an' they charged us a quarter a piece to get in, too. But finally some bald headed teller what seemed t' be a runnin' things, 'least he was doin' consid'rable bossin,' Hxes us up an' we jest set there an' watched 'em come in. ze T H E H I - O - H I 1 9 1 O Come! Why, sir, from the way th.ey kep' a comin' I reckon'd Wa'n't goin' t' be room fer half 0' 'em. That hul blamed tent was jest filled with chairs, an' then them circus seats put up all 'round the sides. But, sir, when they all got in an' was standin' up there,-- an' mother an' me wonderin' how th.em that hadn't no seats was a goin' tl get along,-they set down, an' would ye believe it, them fellers what had planned th' thing knew what they was 'bout fer there was a Seat fer every one o' them fellers an' gals-but I donlt believe there was a one ter spare. An' then th' fun begun! f' Some little feller--had a awful loud vest on too--got up an' hammered on th' table ,til I most feared he'd bust it. But they kin' o' quieted down in time an' he didn't have t' bust anythin'. They all stood up an' sung My Country 'Tis Of Thee, an' I tell ye I never knew that was so blamed pretty before. Then some sleepy- lookin' feller read some sort o' Call 0' th' Convention -guess it was somethin' they had t' get rid o' somehowg an Cousin Albert says it was jest like th' thing th.ey read t' th' Chica- go doin's. They did some sort o' votin' ' ' , an' brought up Mister Treadway, him what was jest elected Lieutenant Gov- ernor, good man he was too. He gave j a speech, 'soundin' th' key note' I think he called it. Guess it must a bin on the key too, fer it sounded mighty nice-like when th.ey say th' choir up t' church hits th' key. OV Some feller come t' th' stand-had a regu1'r political meetin' stand even to them gents what always sits on it-an', l L W N , l I 27 , I ' f, ' ' 1 I ' 5 .jf ' . 1. hge'-, I-' .

'. sir, that feller had a stick, big-yes twice 's big-as that one old school-master Harmon used t' keep behin' th' door. Well, sir, he made a corkin' good speech an ended 'er by nominatin' President Roosevelt fer th.e next election. They like ter a done it too, but that feller at th' desk he looked at th' sleepy feller at th' other desk an' then said somethin' about 'it's bein' out o' order.' Couldn't see how th' feller who had jest talked was out o' order, he was goin' on in first rate order 's fer 's I couldsee. 5 Then they had somethin' t' eat. Only trouble was they didn't pass any peanuts to us. An' I couldn't get it through my head but what We was t' th' circus, an' I kep' wonderin' Where them fellers was what sells 'tickets t' th' concert.' - 5' Then they begins again. Laws, I can't begin t' tell ye all they done an' said. They had some sort o' scrap-one o' th' fellers was a long skinny feller, but he could more 'n talk-'bout who should have seats. I couldn't see what they was scrappin' about, 28 I' T H E H I - O - H I 1 9 1 0 fer far's I could see everybody had seats, 'cept that bald-headed feller an' th' bub with the howler o' a vest-they kep' runnin' 'round mosto' th' time, must 'a had some o' th' work to do. 5 Some guy read th' platform. It sounded all right t' me, but they sure did go into it. Some feller wanted t' put in a temper- ance board, 'r plank, 'r what ever ye call itg made a wonderful talk -they ought t' a got him out when they tried t' put this here coun- try dry. Some gal got up an' talked about women's votin' an' I'm blamed if she didn't most convince me. Some little feller give a speech on Soch.-a-lismg an' they treated him mighty mean, but 'twas fun t' hear th' way he'd go fer 'em when they broke in on him. Then one o' them white-haired Dutchmen I was tellin' ye about gets up an' tries t' make us believe free trade was th' thing. 5' Mother an' I didn't think when they charged us hfty cents th' first night that we could come back the next night. I didn't want ter. But, sir, mother jest made me hitch up in a thunder storm an' drive . t clean t' town jest t' see that second night's fun. ' X 5' The rain didn't seem to make any difference with the crowd, no more 'n it had with mother an' me. They sung The Star Spangled Banner an' then they elected a new feller t' hold th' stick fer that night. L. E. Ebright from down to Akron, an' some politician I guess he was from th' way he took a hold o' th' thing an' kep her goin'. 5' Some little feller-awful lot o' 29 5 little fellers they had-made a ripper o' a speech,-Ididn't see what half o' it meant 'til the next week-an' gave th' ol' feller some sort o' hammer t' pound th' table with. as Then they started in on th' nominatin' an' talk about speeches! Some smooth talkin' young chap made a whoopin' good speech an' nominated Taft. Then some other feller pounded in a lot more reasons why Taft was jest th' proper man, an' he everlastingly warmed things up. a as But that wa'n't all. Another o' them blamed little fellers gets up an' simply more 'n talks about Hughes. Never heard nothin' like th' way words jest spouted out o' himg 'twas like one o' them gushers they used ter strike down in the oil fields. Then another little chap, with red hair, made a regul'r political speech an' helped nominate Hughes. Some other crackin' good talker blew th' horn fer joe Cannon, but he didn't have no more show 'n a rabbit, spite o' th' speech. Ol I near fergot t' tell ye about th' chap what made th' funny speech! He was all rigged out like one o them ferrin- lookin' Sweeds ye see up in Minnessota, brother John was tellin' me 'bout 'em. Funny, I ain't never laugh.ed so hard, never. He goes up there, shakes hands with all them politician fellers, an' begins t' swing himself. An' who do ye suppose he had th' nerve t' nominate? John johnson-that Democratg said 'he'd jest as soon run on th' 30 T H E H I - O - H I 1 9 1 0 'Publican ticketl' They tried t' break in on him a hul lot, but he seemed t' know jest what was a comin' an' jest how t' answer it. jokes, why he sprung more jokes 'n that funny clown did to Ford Brothers' show. An' laugh- its Wal, sir, ye must be a gettin' tired a hearin' me go on about that there show, but I tell ye it was worth a hul lot more 'n it costg if they did soak me 's much as a real circus, there was two nights o' this show. The way they dressed up was better 'n any blamed circus parade, them speeches was better 'n five reg'lar political meetin'sg an' then it was somethin' to see 'em nominate Taft jest like they did to Chicago, only quicker. An' they say both o' them men-Hughes made second-wrote an' thanked 'em when they told 'em 'bout it. ' 54 Wa'n't it wuth goin' t', mother? What?-Blamed if she ain't gone t' sleep again, always does when I git t' tellin' 'bout it, but I kin tell ye she wa'n't goin' t' sleep durin' th' show itself. All I hope is th.at if they have 's good a one next 'lection time I won't be so clean dead I can't go t' it. 31 L' E ,f,fnQ-,lpn--f 32 fji 2 l B l - ignerf'-P A-N Mrs. 3Bratt'5 Qbnnihznt jfatultp Riav. .HENRY CUURCI-'Ill,I.

Nineteen Nine. 58 Wll,l,I.flNl PAUL FERRIS-Pauliferrous is a rare specimen, and is valued somewhere up in the thousands. He was brought here from a butter-tub factory in Indiana and has proved a real con- tribution to Oberlin's collection. At first sight he strikes one as being a very creditable piece of work and attractive. To the real artist of men, however, who looks farther than the surface flashes and colorings, he is indeed rare and valuable, and is appreciated more and more the longer one studies him and views him in different lights. EDITH MAY STINISON-Some synonyms: strong, sweet, sunny, sin- AI I-:ss cere. Stimmie,,' whether in gymnasium, in classes, in college doings or on the ice, Stimmie cuts quite a figure. China and Oberlin have combined their finest qualities in producing her and have ample reason to be proud of the result. IE NIARGUIERITIZ ANDERSON-Here we have an ambitious Physical Training girl, fair in looks, modest in manner, and consumed with. desire in the quest for knowledge, f'For she was crammed with theories out of booksfl PAl.lX'IlSR HUDSON SNELI,-For four years the deep bass voice of Pammer Snell has made the platform tremble in various opera houses over the country. When it comes to serenading, eating fudge, or winning bets from the girls, M r. Snell has few equals in this neck o' the woods. S9 ,MSE Q' 'ri '? Ni isis ' - A v V v X. l ROY EDWIN WHITNEY will best be remembered as the Bible study leader of the Y. M. C. A. Up to his senior year his life had been somewhat separated from his fellows, but, murder will out, and Whit is now known from one end of the college to the other. His good qualities are: A Hne voice, a powerful physique, a keen mind, and he is engaged. His one blot is: he swore loud and long one day on the foot-ball field. I-IAIQRIEI' AGNES '1'.wI.oR-After tasting life with '08 and the Con- servatory, Miss Taylor postponed her Kindergarten Course for a year, in order to graduate with ,OQ. Society, Y. W., and the Library will feel her absence. Glik'I'RIIlJI1Z LOUISE CODY- Trudiel'-a name associated with lavender gown, Cleveland callers, becomingly trimmed hats, and Y. W. work. She has a knack for discovering and drawing out the best in others. High ideals, and a life consistent there- with have made her a power in Oberlin. Wn.1.i.xM HENRY Bl3I.n11:N-Wlien it comes to radiating smiles and affability, Billl' .Belden has no superior in Oberlin. His only rival is William Howard Taft. Bill'l takes life easy, enjoys himself in his own way, and excels in foot-ball and vaudeville acts. Back of all his fun and good-nature, there is the serious l practical thinker, and we predict success for him in whatever line of work he takes up. . IZ is not good that man should be alone. -lVlR. JELLIFFE. RALPH I-ILJRTUN 1-IUUSICR will always be remembered as one Of Oberlin's best foot ball men. But his accomplishments h.ave by no means been confined to athletic lines. I-Ie has gone into oratory, literary society, and tutoring, with a special leaning toward chemistry and original stunts. ALMA SCI-Illl.TZ-Alma is a quiet little lassie whom to know is to love. Few suspect that she is one of the brightest girls in her class, but many have come under the spell of her sweet win- some personality. EDITII CURNliI.lA Ll'2PI,liY--- Only a few people really know this maiden. She has marked ability, and can do whatever she sets out to do with little apparent effort or strain. Disguise it as you will, To right or wrong, 'tis fashion guides us stillf' ,ll-xmifzs GARFIi1:i,iJ TONTZ--He really deserves a double write-up for he graduates from both the college and seminary this year. strong, quiet, and capable, his purpose may be comprised in Bulwer Lytton's line: Men's lives to serve with action, or their souls with truthfl 61 if l RICHARD CARROLL-Since Dick came to Oberlin, he has developed from a young and green Freshman into a man. He has been a good hard worker in his studies, on the athletic Held, and in various other student activities. Dick has an abundance of energy and ambition and he ought to make things h.um after leaving college. GEORGINA BELLE ALLISON-The Senior class knew what they were about when th.ey chose Georgina for vice-president. Her very walk--the product of four years of P. T.-spells energy and capability. Wherever her future lies, we predict for her hosts of friends and marked success. EDIT!-I NASH- Valuables they say come done up in small Ann packagesf, No better proof of this old adage could be found than Miss Edith. She spent the first two years of her college course in the Western Reserve University but, strange to say, that didn't spoil her for we have found her busy not only at her Latin, but in saying good things about everybody. LL13 Rosaua Miironnizn-She shows that it is not impossible to unite specialization in mathematics with the grace, dignity, and popularity that is essentially feminine. Whaz'.v in ri Www? -joHN HENRY Nomar joivus. JOEL BABCOCK HAYDEN-To an ordinary mortal, Joe's list of offices, duties and engagements Qbusiness and otherwisej seems a bit terrifying, but when you see the Cyclonic way in which he attacks anything from a week point in his opponent's debate to his dinner, you know it's all right. We doubt if any of Joe's future parishoners will find trouble in keeping awake during his sermons. MRS. CLARA SUEL1. WOLFIE-Sh.e is a modest and attractive woman with a serious face, and a charming manner. The class of 'og consider that Mr. Wolfe is to be congratulated. Only some- times We are tempted to wonder what marks Mrs. Wolfe gets in Economics Seminar or Social Problems. FLo1anNc1f: .l0SlEl'HlNli HARVEY-Full of fun? Yes, but you donlt End it out till you've known her a long time. Genuine? Yes, and you know that the minute you look at her. Lovable? Yes, for she has hosts of loyal friends. CLEMENT WYMAN HUNT-Tall, erect, dignified in bearing, yet full of fun and ready for a good time. He has held every position from Chaplain to Athletic Editor of the Review and Manager of the Basket Ball Team, and has taken everything from a Senior to a Freshman to the U. L. A.'s. ln short, he has served well his generation, and received good training for . 6 M, f I f I 'ff ':' Iwi? E' .. tp, nw Ps' ' 165. - ,NV s ' A gp. I-ffl!

A. 63 4 I PRISCOTT I-IIQALD-Though few know what it means, Pat be- lieves heartily in Americanism in Equipoisef' and gave a great 0l'2'lll0l1 on it. His stalwart hgure, the Firm set to his jaw, the genial light in his eye, betoken what Prof. Caskey might call the oratorical spirit, but what most of us call a wholesome optimism. F FAIPH VVELD rlNENNliYH+-Faith has played basketball, Faith has done literary society work, Faith has been on the Annual Board, Faith has sung a great deal, Faith has taught Gym, and Faith has worked in the Assigning Office. There are several other things she has done, but we wont include them here. Shels a whole Sunshine Club in herself, besides being a minister's daughter. IHE WISWALI, GIRLS-Vera and Hazel are rarely seen or spoken of otherwise than collectively. They have been in Oberlin six years altogether, or three years each. Who says they h.aven't made the most of it? Both take conservatory work, sing in Musical Union and both excel in class work. lt's all done with- out apparent effort, without haste or fuss, and they always have time for a pleasant chat. 'ixlx .rome old, stout, ana' lonely liollylzack -STOCKBRIDGE. RALPH BURROUGHS-Here we have a quiet, modest, unassuming man, with. an unlimited amount of industry and ability. Ralph has excelled as a student and has made many friends by his sin- cerity and unobtrusive merit. He will leave Oberlin to take up the study of law accompanied by the best wishes of his friends and classmates. LVANGELINE HIATT--Fair as a lovely spring day, Womanly, queenly too, self-giving and self-forgetting-these would be the usual things to say about Evangeline. But abhorring usual things, and avoiding the self-evident is our attitude, so Herels to her, for she's true blue. ENINIA BENNETT CLEMMER-She has the soft brown eyes and gentle manner of a Puritan Maid. Every word is underlined in her endeavor to master Teacher's Latin. Sometimes she masters theologues too. DANIEL WINDZOR JoN12s-Variously known as Danll, Windy, and D, this man has achieved great renown in Oberlin. He has been an inter-society debater: he wrote the famous Annual play given in the spring of '08, and besides all this he is a mem- ber of the Volunteer band. Jonesy was never known to have missed a class stunt or stag. His only failing is h.is trait of human kindness. 65 5 ,l N Wy A E Q f , 1 JESSE FEIRING WILLIAMS-jesse is an inheritance left us by 1908, his Academy work making it impossible for him to graduate. He is a short squat man, with a face that is attractive in certain quarters. He h.as an extreme fondness for Lamb,'l but during his last year this has given away somewhat to a desire for An- tonio's fleshf' jesse will long be remembered as the man who brought the N. O. L. victory to Oberlin. RUTH ADELAIDE BRECKENRIDGIQ--Snnie know her artistic skill. To a few she has revealed her keen insight into human life. More know of her rare love of music and philosopherls mind, but -few know Ardy. An excellent student, a veritable imp, and withal a woman with a poet's soul. LUCY Cl.15v131.ANn AINSWORTI-1-President of Baldwin, president of the Women's Board, and treasurer of Y. W. C. A.-evidently her ability to lead and willingness to work have been recog- nized. She is in for every kind of a good time. Her genuine- ness and straightforward sincerity are among her chief charms. ALBERT IAURIQNCE PASI-IEK-ul will not be concerned with men's not knowing meg I will be concerned with my own want of ability. A fine student and guitar player, Bert has lived among us, a quiet, bashful existence with but few intimate com- panions except for his books and guitar. I am zz 'very fat, fond, foolish ola' man -GAIGE. LAURIE GERTRIYDIQ CLARK-She is always willing to listen, but when she speaks she has something to say. As a teacher she will ex- emplify the virtues of dignity and neatncss. Aelioian has bene- fitted by her cheerful, practical common sense. Galicia El,lZAl3li'l'I'I MCCUNNAUGI-1EY-Much might be said of Grace. We know her as an incurable punster, an incorrigible story-teller, and a good fellow. But we know her too as some- thing so much better than all these that they fall into insignifi- cance in our contemplation of her. lNlAl3El, CARULYN El,IJkli1J-lXfIany emergency cases have been re- ferred to Miss Eldred at Talcott, and she has proven her capa- bilities due to four years, fondness for James She is of the strong and sturdy type who participate in student activities, both mental and physical, with an air of determination. ERNEST HARVEY VAN FossixN-f'Thc Human Skyrocketf' Editor of the IQOQ Annual, Business Manager of the Review. A man with a fondness for late hours, especially in the early months of our Freshman and Sophomore years. Also a tendency toward blufling the morning afterward. fStudying is not his spe- cialty.j To him was granted the extreme pleasure of helping wrest a unanimous decision from Wesleyan. 67 K TFEHTI Ulf L '-1 . f .1 5.405 ,t nf ia . K lv L lil gl NORMAN FROST- The patch is kind enough, but a huge feeder. Frostie gives one the impression that he is awful pious and particular, but the way he celebrated Lincoln's birthday, and the way he indulges in the Greene-House feeds soon dispels such delusions. He has been a member of the class only for this year, but the Frost name has been long familiar to us and he has fitted in well. LAURA MARGARET VAN CLEVE-N o one would ever think, to be- hold the size of this little lady, that she has proved herself capable of managing almost everything from a County Fair to the heart of a man. Her tastes are literary, her interests broad. - Genuine, gracious, and blithe, she wins for herself many friends. ADA RUSO-She's young and fair, and her golden hair She wears on her medulla But alack-a-day, I'm loathe tb say She frowns on many a fella. WILLIAM MATHEWS BURTON-Will came here from the West in his Sophomore year, and although he has not figured conspicu- ously in the leading activities of the college, yet in his own little corner he has been at work, turning out his alloted tasks in a consistent, reliable way. He can't sing very well, neither is his handwriting very good, nor was his uncle elected mayor of Cleveland, but these are minor considerations, and Will is young yet. Long and lanlz and lean and thin, as one of Satan? cherubimu -PROF. HARRINGTON. SAMUEL STOWELL- Infinite riches in a little room. Jay's strong point is Sunday School work, and his college course has been largely interspersed with side flights into this field. He takes the times and seasons as he finds them, and a task put into his hands is a task well done. JAY lWAY BELLE RICE-I-Ier gentle and even temper, her dignified and pleasing bearing, her alert and efficient scholarship, unite in happy combination. Although she is an enthusiastic student of Latin and English, she is most interested in Art Sch.ools and Saturday nights at home. IRENE PENNINGTON-A master of the art of conversation, a worker to be relied upon, a thorough student, and, did we not fear the charge of extravagance we should say- a saint of the earth. Also she possesses a demure wit of her own. CHARLES L. MATTSON- Hole-proof, so-called, perhaps from the way in which he was guaranteed to hold his position in class football, is keen on deep discussions with the ladies, he is also appreciative of good poetry and feeds. Students and professors alike enjoy his cheerful grin. 69 W X rv Wuasuia MoRToN HowENsTEIN---Here is a man who goes on the theory that he will be kept busy attending to his own affairs and that others should do likewise. K'Stein'l has gone quietly through college, but has kept his eyes open and has obtained a broad view of life without very much exertion. Whatever he starts out to do, he generally accomplishes. SOPHRONIA SPENCER Ai.Lcock-Six years she has been with us in Academy and College, and many there are who will miss her. Some of us will remember her as that elongated creature of the Y. W. C. A. bazaar. We envy the heathen that Sophronia with h.er serious eyes and kind smile is going to bless. ETHEL CLAIRE VENNUM-Miss Vennum has only been with us one year, having graduated from Doane College, Crete, Neh., in 1903. However, she has been here long enough. to make many warm friends both in the class and out. During study hours you will usually find her in the library, for she is an assiduous student. RUTH ESTELLA Bnoiioi-iToN-Rurlfs popularity is sufficiently evi- denced by her being house-president of Dascomb. Nut cedl' -for does not that position involve tact, ingenuity, good nature, and dignity? Sweet, quiet, reserved, she is a favorite among those who value womanliness at its true worth. H still small voice -lVIISS SPENCER. FRANK ROLLIN GOTT-He has spent four years here in quiet bach- elor life. Since he has had to be away most of his Saturdays and Sundays, he has missed the social life but not th.e class room. I-Ie has studied hard on his classics that the rising gen- eration may be thoroughly instructed in Latin grammar and Greek syntax. EMMA JANE SEIPT-Earnest and faithful in the smallest details of her work, finding her chief recreation in doing little acts of kindness, little deeds of love, Emma reminds one a little of a hickory nut-the sweetest and best nut in the world when you once get at it. ERSEL BELLE MITCIIRLI.-Her voice is as soft and musical as her laugh, and hurrah for the man who can tell them apart! How long she will teach is not hard to decide, if you know her. VVith all her fun she's a student. SETH LAKE STRONG- Lake,s helpful influence and gentle manners have been felt and appreciated by his associates. He has made good in several outside interests, including the Glee Club and Y. M. C. A. cabinet. 71 J- N , 'Y Jig: i 4 fa l l' lglipl' V ' fr tt! .9 ,f i il ' N X iq f X :git K . . , fl, gf, 54.11-Q X .-ze I i- fi ii were 12:9 , - Zta. 1 1 Mu' 'Wg ig, ' -2 gs' fiqrl l v' , Y.. if 'i . 595 ini? t I P WILBUR GREELEY BURROUGHS, perhaps not as well known as some, yet a man well worth the knowing. Oberlin is proud of his steady, skillful, and plucky work in varsity tennis. IRENE TOWNSEND MERRICK-Irene is the living disclaimer of the feeble feminine intellectl' theory. She smiles and smiles and still is President of the Equal Suffrage League. But Irene's time is not all devoted to the enlightenment of th.e weaker sis- ters. She travels in theatrical circles and she frequently studies. Irene's teachers are fond of describing her as alert, MARION LYDIA STEELE-Marion's table is one of the most popular at Talcott, and no wonder! For she is one of those people who is never too busy to see that everyone has a good time. FREDERICK WALTER SMITH-From the time when h.e risked his life, dangling halfway between the earth and the top of the fiagpole with freshmen and sophomores fighting over his fate, through the time wh.en he Hgured as the lovely bride of jun I. Orr, to the time when as master wizard he conjured the spirits for the wonderful mystic maize, Freddie-singer, wit, and diplomat, has held preeminent place in the hearts and history of the class. Wlzere there's a Bill therc'.v a bay -BELDEN. 9' ' NINA BELLE SMITH-For one college year, Nina Belle has been with. ,OQ. ln that time, with the poise that is always hers, with that graciousness that makes her so truly womanly, and with that friendliness that makes her friendship a treasure, she has moved among us-and her presence has made 709 the richer. CHARLOTTE BEECHER CRARY-The name Charkie suggests a very wise person and truly it might be spelled Sharkie. She is in- deed demure, charming, and quiet, and yet she claims she is unsocial and not the least bit attractive. I cannot quite believe it, can you? jessns BERNICE SPENCER--A slight, dainty creature, quiet, and un- assuming, with a clear sonorous voice, inaudible to the vast multitude. JAMES TENNEY BRAND-Debate fiend, this man with the long lank Figure stalking around with his mind busy at-goodness knows what! Idol of the small boy, this 'flimmiel' of the shack with his youthful appearance and his confidential manner. With a mind of rare quality, unusual analytic ability and strong power of concentration, we wonder what his future will be-' and incidentally what girl he'll take next. 73 X X x XX XX xx n 'Q ' mb VVILLIAM GOULD SHEDD, JR.-The Sophs Shinglcd Shedd when he was Freshman president and Showed him how to Shine. Since, Shedd has Skinned up his own ch.ink and Served ,OQ on Sev- eral committees. Shedd Should Say less and Sate his Stomach Sooner. ALICE IRENE BLACKMORE--The Toledo girl with the umbrella ro- mance in her life. Professor MacLennan values her opinion highly from the point of view of a scientistf' EVELINA BELDEN-A look of absorption and a dreamy eye fixed upon the library-you must mean Evelina. She is probably trying to 'remember which seminar comes next. But don't be deceived. Evelina lives in the present despite appearances, and she has a vein of whimsical humor calculated to excite your facial muscles. OLIVER lWARTIN SAYLER-Height, medium, Weiglit, medium, Hair, medium, Health, medium, Strength, medium, Sociable- ness, medium, Scholarship, excellent. Sayler is a marked literary genius. His work on the Review Monthly, the Junior play, the English club, Phi Delta, etc., will long be remem- bered. He hath a lean and hungry look, he thinks too muchf, rf mon for ll' that, and cz' that -Sl'IUEY. JOHN DOANE, JR.-The musical duties of john Doane have taken up the time left from his studies and some besides. He be- longed to 'o8 his first year in Oberlin, but decided to lengthen out and graduate with ,OQ. He is an authority on the theatre and has frequently been seen with a dark-eyed lady. MAIEEI. FAIR-She comes from the city of Chrisman, Ill., ergo has a very even disposition, and teaches a Bible class in the Minor Prophets. She did fine in the-Iunior play and is play- ing the part of Nerissa in the Senior cast. She has taken Eve years to complete her college course, not from necessity but rather from choice, and will graduate far ahead of her class. SUE DOROTHY MCGINNESS-Although her ability as a scholar is re- markable, she has been known to spend more time in learning the three H's than the three R's.'l She knows the letters L. L. S. and Y. W., and but for her health would have known many more. STANLEY lVIORRIS- lNflorey has the remarkable record of having twice been burned out, but never once fired. He is the versatile man, prominent in his class affairs, in Glee Club, Y. M. C. A. and th.e lives of his friends. He has achieved success who has looked for the best in others and given the best he had. 75 5.2 9 38 EDWIN LINCOLN SHIIEY, JR.-Edwin came from Dayton to show us the triple combination of a hard worker, rational liver, and genuine friend. His only sore spot is Freshman Math. The Y. M. C. A. has felt safe with Ed managing its finances. He belongs to that class called h.ustlers.ll lVlABEI., LOUISE SHAW--Mabel says she is a grind, but no one would suspect it. Instead she seems the jolliest of girls, never too busy to do a favor, and a sure cure for the blues. SUE CATI-IERINE MANNING-Anyone finds Sue an awfully good sort to know. Either because of her youthful appearance or her cheerfulness people are always surprised to End that she is a Senior. Her abilities range from sea-foam to Senior Bible. BESSIE MAY MCCLURE-When We see the dignity with which fair Bess wields the gavel in Phi Alpha every Monday evening, when we hear Cbut not from herj of her high grades, and of the amount of outside work she has done in music, in Y. W. C. A., and on the log Annual-then we begin to appreciate how much real ability this quiet girl possesses. A man who could make so vile a pun -would not scruple to pick a pocket -DAN'I. AND PAULIE. HENRY AUGUSTUS STICK-Henry is a faithful Dutch farmer with honest good will for all mankind. He works hard and loyally and never for the grandstand. Dress-up affairs are not for Henry's taste. When he gets to the mission-field, his life will be the gospel of Little Deeds of Kindness. ANNA BLANCHE CRAIG-Monumental good nature rests upon the countenance of Blanche Craig, and she has besides the serenely undisturbed expression of one whose future is provided for. -- school boards, teachers' agencies, Nothing can touch her further. FLORENCE THAIJA WAITE-Who shall attempt to remark on the phenomenal career of this product of Oberlin college? For as a business woman she is not to be sneczed at, as a settlement worker she is a power, as a wit she can be compared with none other than Pauly and Windy, and as a woman she is a mighty fine specimen. SCOTT FARNUM COFFIN-MT. Coffin is a firm believer in concen- tration of attention, especially in the social world. Scott is extremely dignified, but that doesn't prevent him from being an all-around good fellow, and no man in school has more friends and fewer enemies. Business life is calling Scott, and we look to him to make Oberlin a substantial donation about theyear 1935. 77 sg' L! ,, 1- luqi N 4:'iS! , j, l my ,if - bggfx 1? EMERSON MEARS PARKS-Emerson is a strictly guaranteed article in the student line. He absorbs his Geology lesson on the way to class and disposes of an assignment in james' Psychology while washing his face in the morning. A schedule of eighteen hours or more a week has brought him to the end of the route one year ahead of time, but he has succeeded in keeping on the rails and carries the thorough respect of his companions. lYllil,lCliNT EDA VVATERI-IOUSIC-Who knows what is going on be- hind the sober and serene inserutability of her face? And yet how strong, capable, and firm she seems, a veritable fort- ress. I am not one who oft or over much delights To season my fireside with. personal talk. CLARA EDITH EVANS--Do you know Doc Evans? The girl who has not only the energy and ambition, but also the ability to graduate from both the Conservatory and the College. Of course Doc'sl' practice is to cut nine-tenths of her engage- ments, but who cares? When she does come, she's always jolly and always ready to give you her best. ERNliST CALIQB PYE fshortening left outj--No one is more faith- ful and honest in his efforts to follow his best light. In his years here, Ernest has broadened his views of life, and his good works are without number. But sometimes we would like to see him cut loose for a good Riekety-ax and a Hulla- balloo. 'lVl10.vc cmlwlvm ir llze Flvrcr-dc'-f1'u.s '-CLILVELAND News. ELLA LOUISE WI-Il'l'NEY-Louise has been in Oberlin but two years, but during that time she has proved herself a good student and an earnest Worker. lXflARGUERlTE BROOKS-Marguerite is one of those girls who are undaunted by any amount of work. She never wastes a minute and still has time for a multitude of outside duties. What will future classes do without her artist's brush to decorate their party menus, and dance programs? lXflARY BELLE FULTON-She is one of those girls who have devel- oped a winning womanliness in the atmosphere of Oberlin. She is not only Queen of the May, but queen in the regards of her friends. Who would ever think that this modest, de- mure maid could have a Stoney heart? GEORGE S1-113R1xfrlxN D1cK1NsoN-The decisive intellect and will of George Sherman Dickinson stand undefeated by any proposi- tion which the course of College or Conservatory or the curse of the Hi-O-I-lil' have been able to offer. The lowest seven- eighths of the Senior Class, it is true, may grant him hardly a passing grade in Appreciation of Good Fellowship,'l but if Mr. Dickinson has lacked for company, the fair president of Phi Alpha Phi has Il0t. 79 ! QQ is , 1 ...H I Sf 6 JOHN EZRA BALLARD-He cuts hair, but he is too philosophical to cut a class. He is sociable if you know him, was caught once in his Senior year in the company of a girl. His career in school h.as been the Survival of the Fittestf' Emu-I LA VIERNE WHITMAN- Decdie started life in Oberlin in the Academy. A smiling countenance she always carries, wherever she is, and she is always ready to help her friends. Next year how we will miss her whole hearted laugh which so often breaks the monotony of life. t ALICE HULDAH COLE-Since her Oberlin Academy days Alice Cole has held her place in the musical union. She adds to thorough work a poet's sensitive appreciation of music, litera- ture, and the other arts. Alice has two brothers. LAWRIE JUDSON SHARP- As solid as Gibraltar is a phrase which best describes Lawrie. In h.is eight years' sojourn in Oberlin he has been a janitor, tablewaiter, chaplain, class president, Y. M. C., A. president, N. O. L. orator, inter-society debater and a gentleman. His motto is Don't knock, Boost. He expects to make his home in Council hall for the next three years. - Sow but I have to stud 1 -BELLOWS. LV 5 R.-XY BURTON CURTISS-Member of Alpha Zeta, and especially interested in Civic problems. He holds the even tenor of his way and allows the ambitious and the hurried to pass by, him- self content to bide his time without idleness or slaekness. NI,xRY WINIFREIJ BowuRMAN-VVinifred has conversational pow- ers. Nobody has ever been able to furnish a verbatim report of her remarks, because her high-gear brain always has her heaters pawing the air to keep up. VVinifred feels strange with less than twenty hours' work and she never watches the mails at the end of the semester either. Rl7TI'I JOHNSTON is a peach! Not in a flashy, noisy, brilliant fashion, not' with an eye for lime-light glory, but with genuine, loyal, steady devotion to the best that's in her-and that best is mighty good! HARRY ALPHONSO RHODES came here in his Junior year from Mt. sold a lot of cucumbers, and came back again for his Senior year. Most of his time h.as been spent in the laboratory, for he' has specialized in the sciences and expects to make them Union College, went home for a vacation in June, planted and his life work. DAVID l-IICNRY RIC1-IIQRT-Dave first showed up in Summer school last summer and is known to only a few. To those few he is an example of steadfastness and thoroughness, but to the populace at large he is just a little, quiet fellow who sits in Senior Bible with his hand back of his left ear. ADOL ANNA NIXON-Pretty as a prineess from the land of Minne- haha, with her bewitehing dark eyes and wavy black hair, a delight to her instructors, with a mind open to the best Oberlin can give, always ready to chat with her many friends-this is Adol. CARoi.iNis R,xeii1ci, N IXON- There is a young woman named Carrie, VVho, when asked if she ever would marry, Said, I'll wait for my elue What Adol will do, VVhieh isn't a bad thing-very.

FLORENCE IRENE OTIS-icFl0tlS,, has indulged in membership with the naughty-niners only tvvo years, but in that time her sur- prising vocabulary Qwhich it is said no one but Mr. Sherman can excelj plus her good-heartedness plus her intellectual ability have made her really an addition to Oberlin. Olivet, send us more daughters like this sample. GEORGIA LOUISE ANDREWS-Georgia is a commuter from Well- ington. She is a good student, a genuine friend, and next year she will be an excellent Latin teacher. These are virtues enough for one individual. RALPH HII,,L Cl-IANEY-He came here from Carleton college for his Senior year. He is noted for High Mogulsh.ip at the Senior Party and for campus surveyor. Sirenghea1't -BRODIE. PEARL ADELLE BALDWIN-Pearl is a girl worth finding out, sweet- tempered, sympathetic and generous to a fault. lncidentally she has a cordial interest in Western Reserve University. SAPPI-I0 MYRTLE BEAMER-Sappho is one of the standbys in the Second Church choir. She can be relied upon as a faithful worker in any position. When sh.e speaks one wonders whether to laugh or not, for there is a suggestive twinkle in her eye. I-IENRIETTA KELSEY SMITI-I-A christening escapade left Joy branded as Henrietta K.,'l but she has nobly lived it down, and she already has a place in the Young Women Who Have Become Famousl' series. joyls hierarchy of official me's is a bit awe-inspiring, but in her private life she is good and kind. INIERRICK EAST WILSON-f'Doc is an advocate of the simple life. The Washingtonls Birthday Reception has no attraction for him when the cars are running to Birmingham. The birds and trees of the surrounding country all know him by name, as do most of the rocks. He spends his summers in leaping from crag to crag collecting fossils and sketching topography. 85 af 5 f, ', G QUIZ-1' 6 'g H t ,. N 'QSM i all Ha , I ff. ., ,Saas A, ' 'ii' -intel Gnonnn Pnrnns CIAIAMBERS--HPLIIIY, the missing linkn is the way he was advertised at the Slicker circus. He is versatile. He has participated in every phase of college activity, takes pride that he never has been a member of the UD. and O. and has been for the last three years hopelessly gone-too bad for one so Young. ELIZABRTII DARLING BRIGGS- Bess'l is one of the noted three twins and is known as the Family Beauty. Everything she does from leading a Y. W. C. A. meeting to collecting house taxes or per- forming her duties as class secretary, she does with eliiciency and grace. ANNA LAURA -IUNHS-SlllCC her academy days she has been a society member and a genuine working oflicer in the Y. W. C. A. Cabinet. Such duties, however, have not hindered her from attending all the U. L. Afs, Artist Recitals, and Senior Night Promenades and giving Sharp attention. WIl.1.I.txM AI.conN BRowN-- Acorn has grown up among us from a wee striving shoot, to a stalwart spreading oak.

Hflflicfll fc .Y -MDICKINSON. HAZEI. BIERNICE PETTY-By her many friends, little Petty is beloved out of all proportion to her size. When it comes to having abundant energy, ready with fascinating manners, and Microcosmus concentrated into the smallest possible space, we defy anyone to surpass her. FLORENCE MARION lVIETCAI.F--She is the girl who, in dehance of the Review hionthly, carries nineteen hours of work to the tune of four-nines, and has lots of time for outside interests. 'flessicaw h.as a twinkle in her eye, and an ability to see the funny side of things, which she may find valuable in her future work as a pedagogue. CARRIE EI.lZAliliTII INK-Little, but oh., my! Professor VVolfe has yet to persuade her that man is intellectually woman's superior. GEORGE SAWYER WOODWARD--George smilingly makes the most of every opportunity. VVho can consider how he handled the class basket ball team, how as a field marshal he chased small boys from the football grounds, how he travelled blind bag- gage to the track meet at Columbus, and not believe that Woodward will some day become a great doctor? 87 WM ifg 5 Ill iff, ,,', i nf f.

His good humor is unfailing and long tramps form his favorite mode of recreation. Felix is going to be an M. D. and with his stored energy ought to make a hummer. CORA MARTHA HUNTER-Cora has been with us only two years, and in that time she has not let us know her so very well. Although she has enjoyed a quiet communion with self for most of the time, Cora is a girl 'oo would like to have known better. IONA FOWLS-+She lives in Oberlin, and so far out East College street that we wonder when she gets time to do anything but come to classes. But she does do much more, as those who h.ave had a chance to know her appreciate. They wish that she were not quite so retiring and modest. IHSABEL CRAIG BACON-Belle is a very enterprising sort of person, and quite a dabbler in the social life of the College. She is a member of Phi Alpha Phi, sings in the Musical Union and choir, has played Basket Ball, and been the Assistant Joke Editor of the 1909 HI-O-HI. She loves a good time, is full of wit, sly humor and joviality, and knows not what it is to be afraid of anyone. Re1u'ew of R vrniefwsn--SAYLER. FREDERICK HUGHES GAICYE-KKMl'. Pickwick has the enial ood 8 g humor of his name-sake and prototype. He came here a member of the Pennsylvania Bar, and has filled a large place during h.is two years with 1909. He excels in helping Cads determine the value of X, and in seeing that class parties break up on time. EMMA AMELIA SCO'1vl'--She is not what ould call a social butterfl Y Yi she is not a strenuous Woman Suffragist, she is not a mighty man-fusser-these she is not. What then is she? She's quiet, genuine, cheery, she's steady, faith.ful, loyal-and such qualities mean happiness, success, and the consciousness of work well done. DELLA lYlAE STEWART-Della is one of those few who can, without bluster and undue prominence of self, impress fundamental principles upon a class. She has been loyal to every obligation and responsibility. VICTOR CAPPEL DOERSCHUK- ViC'SH football career in Oberlin, has been characteristic of the man. For three years he played a hard, consistent game, always cool-h.eaded, always doing the right thing at the right time. The few fortunate ones who have known Doerschuk intimately, End him a sincere and conscientious worker, with a generous measure of real ability. 89 ,five 2 i -SN- GX ,Z ClI.flRl.ES Hrzicnnwi' Yocom-- Yokie spends his time working in his father's store, doing hard, thankless jobs well and uncom- plainingly, and studying a little. I-Ie belongs to Phi Kappa Pi, was Vice-president of the Y. M. C. A. and is on the Senior Play committee. EMMA CAROLINE STUCKIER- Jack is one of the shining lights in the P. T. department, and a royal good comrade. Always to be depended upon, she possesses a fund of the quiet strength and power so refreshing to find. By the few friends to whom she reveals herself, she is much beloved. Bl.,xNe11ia B1iR'r1N13 lvlolzsn--Little Blanchette'l is the pocket ecli- tion of a girl with a nose like a two-year-old youngster's. She dotes on bi-idgel' and swears by Chicago. To meet her is to find a gay charming girl, to know her is to find a gentle lovable woman. We believe she knows the secret of eternal youth. Eorrii LlI.l.I.ilN PIERCY-She talks in dashes and exclamation points, and has th.at happy self-conhdenee which carries her triumphantly through complicated situations. Because Edith lives in Elyria her Oberlin life has been taken on the Hy. B-ut those who have enjoyed her abilities as a hostess, certify that this Elyria situation is not an unmitigated evil.

Educa- tion we had come for, and the faculty and 1909 left no stone unturned, no assignment unmade, no rope untied in the furtherance of that end. But the gigantic infant developed with remarkable speed. In six weeks he proved himself fully cape-able of distinc- tion,-on th.e gridiron by the winning of the football championship, later by carrying off the basketball and baseball banners. He took kindly to the yard or so of green impossibilities, impracticabilities, and unpronounceabilities condescendingly bestowed by 1909. That is, he did not retaliate, only laughed at the good natured whim of the class ahead. OV' With the coming of the second September he joined up with the feeling that he was a part of things. Debate, oratory, athletics, scholarship, each was a goal striven for and attained. Athletics particularly owe to 1910 some of the best all around performers the school has ever seen. The infant was now grown to early youth, and with a grace and dignity compatible with h.is experience, pro- ceded to befriend the new-born 1911, by a course of treatment perhaps a little strenuous at times, but offset by a general feed and mixup in Peters. ' 03' Our youth developed a remarkable proclivity for chapel aero- nautics, well meant proclamations, bits of rope, and kindred appara- tus, but they were condemned by the faculty, their useful and educative function ignored. at Last fall the class of 1910, no more an infant, but a youth, with his powers at command, with realization of what lay before and behind, stood in line on joining day. An upper classman, with the satisfaction and training of two years past, with. the knowledge of two years before, he started on the most glorious year of his course. Next year the outside world will be just ahead, this year is the time for gaity and joy. In one line after another the standard of attainment of 1910 has steadily advanced. 8'4 Here's to you 1 101 As an u er classman set well the ace . i 9 PP 1 P 1 THE H1-0-1111910 and keep your stride. May the youth of promise develop, by the June of IQIO, into the full stature.of a man equipped to meet and grapple with the world. im The college course we may perhaps regard as after life in miniature. Then here's to you, 1910! We see in you the promise of great men and women, the promise that you will do your share in the work of the world as you have accepted your responsibilities in college, the promise of enterprise and of genius, of faithful plodding and well earned reward.

She did not like being in this rut. The position hampered her actions: but no Knight of the Round Table appeared to pull her out. Query: Where was the remedy? The class of Nineteen-eleven! Yes, Nineteen-eleven braved the citadel of ridicule and prohibited the Noah's Ark fashion of attendance at her class parties. And the result? Never before have there been such parties in Oberlin. if Once Nineteen-eleven gained a Hrm foothold on the ground of common sense, her three sister classes grasped her helping hand and, likewise, crawled out of the time-deepened rut, thus realizing Professor Cairns' prophecy in her Freshman year-You have not forgotten it, but I am fond of repeating it. Pardon mel- Upper classmen, look to your laurels, you whom tradition appoints to set the pace may yet need to acknowledge this class as the leader Qpre-eminentj in brain and brawn, counsel and conduct. if Nineteen-eleven is an idealistg not, however, in the sense of a dreamer, but of an actor. She puts her ideals into practice, and the two chief of these are class democracy and good fellowship. There is not one of h.er members who does not feel that he is an important factor in all her affairs. Her success and her failure depend on him directly, not on the few whom he has chosen to lead her to prominence in athletic, literary, and social fields. It has been said that Nineteen-eleven is the most original class in collcge.' It is true. She cloth.es the old idea of custom in new and startling garb, and for this very reason, her progress is so noticeable. She lays aside tradition and asserts her own individu- 8'6 To assert that Nineteen-eleven is perfect, is wrong. She is human, and human beings are faulty. VVe rejoice, however, in her merits, and in praising them, encourage her. Some one has said ality. 102 ' THE HAIQOY-HI1910 that true modesty consists not in undervaluing our own merits but in a due estimate of th.em. Nineteen-eleven is capable of the due estimate. It would be an unpardonable omission to neglect to say, that this year the inter-class football championship was h.ers, for in this phase only of athletics does she stand pre-eminent. Last year, she won all class honors, but Varsity was covetous and this year she gave up some of her best men to th.e common good. In debate, she boasts two active members and more good material for next year. IRENE MAY RABER, 'rr ml il -Jaxx.

We entered college a lustier, stronger, jollier lot than Oberlin has yet welcomed to her halls of learning. To be sure, when we found ourselves a very small part of a very large conglomeration of trunks, Y. M. C. A. badges and inquisitive small boys, gathered on the platform of the little Oberlin station, our spirits sank below the freezing point. But, since that memorable first day, our courage has not Wavered. 8'6 Our first definite ideas of Oberlin were formed on Joining Day, but we will spare your feelings as well as our own, which are still tender on that subject, and omit all but its bright side. Even joining Day had its compensations. To enter Peters two hundred and fifty strong, and, what is more, with a good proportion of the masculine element, to feel the sympathetic smiles of the Faculty and to be guided through that labyrinth of confusion by solicitous upper classmen, was not wholly unpleasant. K' Our rising spirits scored a Eve next day as we caught sight of the 'little sheets, given out after chapel, headed, To the Class of 1912, Greetingfl Such kindly notice was more than we had dared to expect. But as we read, we vowed vengeance, and, as it happened, our revenge was not far distant. A few nights later, almost the entire Sophomore class lay bound at our feet, and, for one day, the .Hrst 1912 flag in history floated from the fiag pole. 5' With the Hrst class meeting, properly began the history of the Freshmen. Under the fiery eloquence of Mr. Chamberlain, whom the more ignorant of us mistook for a Senior, we elected Mac president, by acclamation. Later, when the class tax was finally announced, we felt ourselves an establish.ed part of the institution. - 108 T H E H I - O - H I 1 9 1 0 Under the guidance of the Seniors, we began our social life, which has flourished from that time. To pass by the football season, the outcome of which is so easily forgotten, We come to our first great triumph in athletics, the Sophomore-Freshman track- meet. As the leaves in our memory book are turned still further, we open to a picture of a few subdued and penitent Juniors, on their way to settle with Mr. Hobbs for the loss of a goodly number of his china plates. Again we smile, at the sight of a page sketched with black gauntlets, a reminder of the first appearance of our distinctions and the chagrin of our Uguardiansl' when they discovered that their Apology of the Freshmen had no signifi- cance. Their little pink and white furnace gloves had been for- gotten. We close the book at last, with. a feeling of satisfaction, upon an almost unbroken record of basket-ball victories and a triumph in the inter-class meet, due to the ability of our athletes and the inspiring influence of our good-luck mascot, the Freshman dog. lf' Yet, Revered Sophomores, we are not boasting. By sad experience, we have learned that it is the rule rather than the exception for the new Freshman class to be the largest, the most promising, and the most original class in college. Nevertheless, by holding our supremacy, and by keeping the scarlet and black in the lead, We hope to prove IQI2 the best class in the lists. MARGARET E. BENNETT. lll E .

If he were still more observant he would div-ide the latter class into theologici scribentes and theo- logici volentes. The first class can not be divided for they are one. 8'6 Now it is to be remarked that the theologici domestici are becoming fewer in proportion and now amount to only a fourth of the whole, including several graduates and pastors in residence who have a right to be married. It is noticeable that their ranks are not being Hlled up from the last two classes, with the exception of one theologica exspectantica who has become a theologica domestica. Which reminds one that the quotation of last year, Not to T. Strong is the battle: not to the Swift is the race, is quite out of date. 83 Between the theologici scribentes and th.e theologici volentes, there is a continual war of words, whose engagements are opened by the theologici volentes when they see the theologici scribentes watching for the postman. Oblong or square, fat or thin, the wire- less messages come, and some men have even to be excused from theology so that the messages may not pine away in the boxes.

T1s1.iYn1z We, the members of the class of 1913, are conceited enough to believe that we have removed tl1e several shades of green, which hid our real worth, when we first entered our Old Academy. Of course it would not be generous to take the praise for that eradication upon ourselves, but we do give the credit to our good and illustrious faculty whose unceasing and never-tiring endeavors have aided us in the accomplishment of this result. It is almost needless to say that IQI3 has bee11 prominent in all the different branches of athletics, debates, and studies. On the football team for the last year we saw six men from the undaunted class fight for the Blue and White. By this time you should realize that our basket-ball team won the state championship. Who helped to do this? Three members of IQI3. On the debate team this year, you have seen three of the brainiest men that ever attended the Academy, and we are proud to say that they also came from the ranks of 1913. In regard to our scholarship, we chose to let the faculty tell what they know of it, although we are sure of what they would say, if they should speak, or of what they think, if they do think. Not less important than our other marks of distinction are the social functions which 1913 has enjoyed for the past three years. Parties and receptions, we have had, from Wh.ich no one has ever been known to depart without a broad smile on his face andin his heart a sense of satisfaction with his world. We have always been quiet, unprepossessing, earnest, loyal, and perhaps studious. Since our loyalty and love for our teachers and the Academy have always been pre-eminent, let it not be said of us, after our departure, that we soon forgot our Alma Mater. Rather may we ever be known as th.e loyal class of 1913. 123 o CIETIE5- CLUBS f f U a- 1 Melrose 3-Bple Zinn Tlkiniun 'library Qlssuciatiun BOARD OF DIRECTORS Pmidenz ............,............... W.

VAN FOSSAN 126 This year has probably been the best in the history of the U. L. A. Emerging upon a new college year without the library which was the chief object of the association wh.en it was founded in 1886, interest in U. L. A. matters bade fair togo on the down- ward path. Although not quite as well attended as in former years, the lectures of 1908-1909 have been of a very high class, and by no means a financial failure. Oratory has never been so well sup- ported in the history of Oberlin. Although. some of this increased interest may be attributed to Mr. Williams' victory last year in the N. O. L., yet it was due in the main to the push and untiring efforts of Mr. Buck as manager. Debate interest too, has been intense. Twenty-six men qualified for the final try-outs in December. The home debate against Wesleyan had a record breaking attendance. The membership in the various societies h.as also been unusually large, and the income from this source, besides that received in Oratory and Debate will do much to swell the U. L. A. endowment fund. The Union Library Association has enjoyed a prosperous season. May she continue to hold as high a place in the student body as in former years! 127 PHI KAPPA PI Carroll Durbin Howenstein Burris Kline Houser Pelton Phillips H. P.

BIRRELL To record through the paltry medium of pen and paper an adequate account of Phi Kappa is to commit oneself to a task more impossible th.an that attempted by the Kansas gentleman who essayed to make a collection of rare old thunderbolts in his well worn No. 7 straw hat. But it would be a strange anomaly if a society that has ever assiduously cultivated the ideal of Friendship and Progress did not present even through any medium some interest- ing history. Evidence is abundant that shows what a pre-eminent part in college discussion of earlier years Phi Kappa played. Many a heavily-drawn suspiration, many an ill-concealed yawn played nervous accompaniment to the sonorous appeal for Texas annexation and to the hair-raising condemnation of slavery. Matters political, however, were not the sole thought of the astute Phi Kappa mind. Mark the courageous note in the Records of 1855 sounded, we should imagine Cif Pleasant Street School House episodes today are any criterionl in the face of the most violent disapproval: Resolved, That' no college student should, until his Senior year, dabble in matrimonial matters. Thus we see that Phi Kappa has ever been aggressive, despising that meek, mollycoddle tendency conducive to passive imitation instead of independent self-assertion. Turning to present conditions we are pleased to note that history repeats itself. A microscopic examination of the Phi Kappa man today fails to reveal any pathological symptoms of inertia. inability or grouch. Recent facts prove that, in forensic encounter, Phi Kappa is still able to tweak the nose of her opponents. And we have continued to maintain our belief which, paradoxically expressed, is that to do everything to win is justifiable, but to do anything to win is cheap. DONALD F.

Ezra L. Stevens of 743 was its founder, and his six associates were members of 11.3. In 1843 the name Philomathesian Was changed to Union Society. Again, in 1854, the name Union was changed to Phi Delta. The motto Philo Dialeclzton was also chosen at this time. The Society 'first met in a class-room in Tappan Hall. Then successively in Music Hall, Society Hall and from 1888 on, in its present rooms in Peters Hall. The total number of members up to February ISI, 1909 is 921. At the present time Phi Delta's assets are forty-seven active members, fifty dollars in the treasury, the furnishings of the society room, a good gavel, and the Championship Banner. It would be a sign of gross conceit to try to show the strength of Phi Delta by enumerating the honors held and the prowess of her sons. Phi Delta is not conceited because of her accomplishments--she only takes pride in th.em because other people cannot help but notice her true worth. It would be unnecessary to state that Phi Delta Won the N. O. L. contest last year. It is absolutely useless to remind any one that of the half dozen Varsity debaters this year six were from Phi Delta's Halls. Her colors are crimson and White, her yell is a variagated conglomeration of eruditic esophagationg her motto is I love debate -and thereby hangs a tale. 131 ALPHA ZETA J. L.

CLEMENT W. HUNT Alpha Zeta, the first and only daughter of Phi Delta and Phi Kappa Pi, was organized on commencement day, 1869. The causes of its origin were two. The membership of the two old societies was too large, numbering about sixty each, and meetings were omitted for flimsy reasons and with scandalous frequency. Accordingly, A. F. Hatch, C. N. jones, and T. A. Hall, all of the class of ,7I, started the agitation which, after a three-months' debate, resulted in a new society with twenty-seven members drawn from th.e two older societies. Th.e earliest records of this society are filled with illustrious names and with a wealth of suggestions of the work done at that time. A few of the subjects of essays apd orations, chosen at random from the f1rstyear's work, follow :. , What Shall the Harvest Be? Our Need of Unscholastic Scholars, A Ruined Life and its Lessons, and One Stepping Stone to Heavenf' The earliest histories we have of the society are also very interesting manuscripts. The following extract is taken from the history of '83-4. The historian has been speaking of an experiment in extemporaneous debating, and he adds that The practice will hardly be followed, since the average man, when standing before an audience with his knees smiting together and the drops starting from his forehead, will prefer to know that the task of thinking is not to be added to his oth.er dutiesf' Alpha Zeta today numbers between'thirty-Hve and forty mem- bers, and its prospects for success and a prosperous existence are very bright.

The hush of expectancy rested upon all. Even Zephyrus came with bated breath. to listen. Mercury poised for flight paused to hear. Minerva spoke: Father jupiter, at last I have a history of the first woman's literary club in America and probably among mortals. In 1835 it was founded in Oberlin, Ohio, as 'The Young Ladies' Association of the Oberlin Collegiate Institution for the Promotion of Literature and Religionf In 184.0 it became 'The Ladies' Literary Society,' and in 1878 assumed its present name, L. L. S. QLitterae Laborem Solanemj. For the Hrst th.irty years meetings were held in the attic of Ladies Hall. Vul- can, as Lord High Extinguisher, will remember how old fashioned the rude benches looked in the dim candlelight. But since 1884 Sturges Hall has been the societyls permanent weekly meeting place. Never has L. L. S. disbanded, and for one failure to meet-you, Mars are responsible, for the records read-'On April 23, 1861, Society failed to meet because of war excitement' Early society debates were such as 'Resolvedz That sewing societies produce more evil than goodg' 'College sh.ould be devoted to pious young women.' justly is L. L. S. proud of such alumnae as Antoinette Brown Blackwell, Sarah Blachley Bradley, Lucy Stone, and Madame Adelia Field Johnston, whose ideals still in- spire the society to its best. Always has L. L. S. stood for scholar- ship- Venus- I dare say! For instead of me they ch.erish Min- erva, though I hear that in this same society she once lost her head! Apollo- I rise to point of order. And Minerva concluded: Former members show constant loyalty and even Hebe bears cups no more beautiful than those given the society by her alumnae at the IQO8 Love Feast. I move, that L. L. S. be honored by our greatest gifts! Minerva ceased speaking. The assembly gave consent. Mighty Jupiter nodded. The council adjourned.

BROUGHTON C0rrespona'ing Secretary ...... . . .GERTRUDE L. CODY It was in 1852 that part of the members of the Ladies' Liter- ary Society withdrew and formed the Young Ladies' Lyceum. The reason for withdrawal was this-dissatisfaction with essays as the sole method of expression and the desire to introduce debates and orations as part of the society's program. In 1862 the name was changed to the present Aelioian, signifying Light-Bearers, from the Greek Helios. For some time the society met in a room already doing service as a recitation and assembly room. In 1859 L. L. S. and Aelioian united in furnishing a room in the second story of the first Ladies' Hall. L. L. S. used it on Tuesday, Aelioian on Wednesday evenings. That human nature does not vary much is evidenced by some of the old debate topics, as, Resolved, That it is never best to indulge in the blues. Others are more specifically concerned with the time- Resolved, That hoop skirts are a nuisance. Most of the subjects, however, are much more serious, especially during the war. In '86 or '87 the extempore was introduced. Book reviews, critiques, and original productions have been other features. The once popular declamation is seldom heard now, and orations no longer hold prominence. In planning the programs, the aim is to pursue some line of work not included in the college curriculum, for instance, the present year has been devoted to the study of Rus- sian literature. The membership is always large, the standard of productions high. It is with pride that Aelioian points to her past and with confidence and hope that she looks to the future. FLORENCE I.

Like all innovators the girls, who in 1902 conceived the idea and agitated the question of a new girls' society in Oberlin, met with a strong opposition. In the daring spirit, which is Oberlin's time immemorial inheritance, they persevered and succeeded in convincing conservative Oberlin th.at such a society would not seriously impair Oberlin tradition. Her charter was granted and, still beset with many doubts, Phi Alpha Phi entered into the fellowship and privileges of the U. L. A. and took her place, with ten members, beside her sister societies to survive or perish as fitness decreed. From the very Hrst her rank was of the best. With. high ideals, fresh, vigorous effort, everything to gain and nothing to lose, Phi Alpha Phi soon proved her right to a place among literary societies and confirmed the faculty in the wisdom of their decision. The last member who was one of th.ose founders of Phi Alpha Phi is gone and now Phi Alpha Phi is no longer an experiment. The same vigor and living interest, which characterized her infant years, still animates her members. With Friendship, that association of kindred minds for the pursuit of truth, and the result of such association in Progress as her motto, written not only on her banner but in the heart and endeavor of each member, Phi Alpha Phi is carrying on the work, and living up to the ideals set for her by those girls whose efforts made such a society possible. It is life, full, vigorous and fresh, which has been and is the strength and power of Phi Alpha Phi. MAUD MERRILL. 139 P1'esia'ent ....... Vice-President .......... Recording Secretary ......

There h.as taken place a long period of preparation in the history of the life of debate in our cherished institution. For years there has been carried on the constant, painful, but no less patient, struggle to develop and learn, that we might some day achieve pre-eminence and become as much to be respected for our skill of logic as for our prowess in brawn. The experience has been trying, and the defeats undergone have had to be many, but the striving has occasionally been brightened by the encouragement of well-won victories. The lessons learned have been remembered and year by year our standard has mounted higher. lt was especially fitting that the debate this year which marked the summit of our achievement thus far sh.ould have been witnessed by the largest and most interested audience which has ever attended an Oberlin debate. It was still more appropriate that the Hrst intercollegiate contest ever held in that new center of college activities, Finney Memorial Chapel, should have resulted in such a splendid victory. Perhaps there has arrived at last a new era in our development, the era for which we have long hoped. For three years we have remained undefeated at home. A record has been begun in the new chapel that we may well strive to preserve, and to embody in tradition,-the record of never having suffered defeat on the platform of Finney Ch.apel.

This message ran- Oberlin won first in N. O. L. That event enkindled in the student body an enthusiasm which has lain dormant for years, it aroused in us anew the spirit of College loyalty. The result of this awakening has been evinced both in the Preliminary and the Home Contests of this year. Contrast if you can that small group which appeared before Jesse F. Williams and his five companions in Warner Hall last year, with the audience which greeted the Home Orators in Finney Chapel on the evening of February Seventeenth.. Fully five hundred people applauded the six contestants as they took their seats on the platform. As each orator arose to deliver his production he caught the spirit of the occasion and was inspired to put forth his superlative efforts. Throughout the keenly waged contest, th.e enthusiasm was demon- strated in a striking manner. And when the fount of eloquence was closed and the melodic strains of the orchestra had ceased and the decision of the judges was announced, orators and spectators, their heart-strings reverberating with harmonic syllables, departed from th.e scene. Again our representative for the Northern Oratorical Contest had been selected, not, however, by five judges alone as in former years, but by those whom he represents as well. At last, the student body has awakened to a sense of appreciation for the elo- quent. At last, Oratory has gained attention commensurate with its signihcance. GOLDWIN L. BUCK. 146 3Hurtbern Qbraturiral league Perhaps it is not an exaggeration to say, that the winning of the N. O. L. contest is the most important victory of the college year. On the first of May, r9o8, Mr. Jesse F. Williams of the class of 1909, competing. in the annual contest with the universities of Michigan, VVisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, Chicago, and Northwest- ern, won the honors of the year for the Crimson and Gold. Mr. Williams' competitors were all worthy to appear in so important a contest. They were picked men who had won the honor of being chosen to represent their respective institutions. Together they made a fine appearance as they sat facing a splendid audience that had enthusiastically come to hear so notable a contest. It frequently h.appens in these contests that the audience dis- sents from the oHicial judgment. There is sometimes room for dif- ferences of opinion, and sometimes the ofhcial judges are plainly incompetent. The decision of this year was evidently satisfactory to the audience generally. While the grades were being figured, the expression was heard on all sides, it is an Oberlin victory. This fact of unanimity is a gratification to all who watch our ora- torical interests and a testimonial to Mr. Williams' painstaking efforts to be a worthy representative of his college in th.e important contest.

The first is easy in theory but hard in practice, the second difficult in theory and more difficult in practice, the third is never wholly possible. lin the exercise of the first two functions, the Review board has to be congratulated this year, in the last, much noticed. However in regard to the latter, the board has at least a creed. We believe inthe freedom of the press, in offer- ing equal opportunities for the apt expression of all opinions. For the sake of the paperls integrity we believe that the opinions of the board must be dis- tinguish.ed from those contributed. VVith this arrange- ment, we believe in considering all the data obtainable. Following the doctrine of a great teacher, we believe in allowing the consciousness to How freely concerning the whole matter in question, in order that we may start a new current of true and fresh ideas. This pro- cess of seeing with all our eyes must, we believe, accompany all rationally directed enterprise. Only the vigor of this mental attitude is 'able to maintain the college safe out of reach of the leprous clutches of old-fogyism. This is our creed. We sincerely regret the lack in so far as our attainments fall short of'our creed. , RICHARD CARROLL. 151 The ?Eai:QB:?!ai Baath I5di'fm--i'n-Cllmff. . . .... . ....... VVn.i.1,xM S.

Zi. . The Young Men's Christian Association in Oberlin College was formed in 1881, superceding the Young Men's Prayer Meeting held in French Hall Sunday evenings. Five oflicers and six com- mittees constituted the working force. There are now six ofiicers, fifteen committees, an advisory board of eight, and three graduate salaried ofiicers. The member- ship is 520 out of a possible 650 men in the institution. The 28 Bible study classes have enrolled 290 men, each class being led by a student previously coached by a member of the faculty. In ten mission study classes there are 120 men. While there has been decided growth in these things just mentioned, which tend to develop the student, there has been a greater growth towards work of service for others. This of course has its reaction upon the student engaged in the work and proves of great value to him. One hundred and forty town boys are gathered in an organization known as the Oberlin Boys' Republic and subdivided into ten clubs, each club with a college man as leader. A manual training school with forty boys in its classes is being conducted. Seven Sunday Schools and three preaching points are maintained in adjoining country districts. In the neighboring towns of Elyria and Lorain are con- ducted clubs for boys, and social clubs and educational classes for foreign speaking men. 101-1N G.

MCCUIIOCI1. 156 On March 4, 1894 a committee met in Mrs. Hatch's parlors to discuss the question of a Young Women's Christian Association, and the following spring the Association was organized. The devo- tional meetings took the place ofthe Young Ladies' Prayer Meeting. The work was necessarily small at Hrst, though even then there was formed an employment committee, and each year gave larger plans and increased scope. Bible classes were not permanently organized until 1899, when there were two classes with an enroll- ment of thirty. During the same year plans for fall campaign work were made for the first time. The extension work which was started in 1904 with plans for bringing Christmas comfort and cheer to needy families, now includes twelve clubs and other branches of work. The estimated budget for four years ago was 3S6oo.00. The one just made out for the coming year is for 551400.00 For the past Eve years th.e Advisory Board has made possible a General Secretary-at first only on half time but now giving her full time to the work of the Association. With the perfection of an elaborate mechanism arises the need for care lest the spirit be choked by it, and the demand for con- sistent every-day living and the realization of prayer as a sane and practical working principle seems increasingly imperative. - ' RUTH M.

IRWIN ln the last of the seventies or early eighties, Professor Judson Smith was delivering here in Oberlin an inspiring seriesiof lectures on Church History. Several became convinced that their life work must be in the foreign field. They formed what was then known as the China Band which lasted some six or seven years and had enrolled among its number such men as President H. C. King, Rev. M. L. Stimson, Rev. Dan F. Bradley, Rev. H. M. Tenney, Dr. I. J. Atwood, Rev. C. M. Cady, Rev. C. W. Price, and Rev. D. H. Clapp. In 1880, shortly after the starting of the Volunteer movement at Northfield, Mr. Howard Russell commenced the present Band in Oberlin. It grew rapidly and in a short time the China Band as such disappeared. From then on till the present time the Oberlin Volunteer Band has been thriving, at times reaching a membersh.ip of seventy or eighty. .At the present time there are on the field some hundred and twenty-five missionaries from this one Band- a fact of which we all may be justly proud. The Volunteers meet every Monday afternoon from 4:15 to 5 :r5 in the parlors of Council Hall, the first meeting of each month. being open to all who care to come. 59 W.

Shania JI-Blemurial Qssuciatinn The Shansi Memorial Association was organized in 1908 to perpetuate the memory of those who suffered martyrdom in Shansi during the Boxer Uprising, by promoting the educational work of the reorganized mission. In the midst of the superstition and prejudice then prevailing in China, it was impossible for the group of Oberlin men, who 'founded the mission station in the Shansi province, to realize their aim of making the work educational rather than evangelistic. In the awakened China of today, on the other hand, a modern edu- cation is the great cry. The Chinese school system is of necessity laboring under great difficulties in its efforts to meet the changed conditions, and is in need of all the outside help which western edu- cators can give. It is this stragetic opportunity for an unusually effective service, which the association is seizing in the founding of the Oberlin Me- morial Academy at Taikuhsien, Shansi. The ultimate plan in- cludes an institution of college rank and a system of elementary schools to insure a prepared constituency. Already an academy and a number of primary schools are in active operation. A campus of twenty-five acres with twenty buildings now standing QThe Flower-Garden Compound, is within the grasp of the association. lt was the dream of those first missionaries to this North China province To project a new Oberlin on Chinese soil. This dream the Shansi Memorial Association is making a reality. 161 T H E H I O H I 1 9 1 0 Zin Jllllemuriam Ricv. W1l.1,r,x1u Scorr A1snf:N'r, D. D. William Scott Ament, of the Class of 1873, died in San lirancisco, january 6, 1909. Dr. Ament was a son of Oberlin, whose ability, high ideals, and invincible purpose in positions of strategic importance gave him far reaching international influence. His personal bravery in Peking, when the foreigners were besciged in the llritish legation, and his advocacy of missionary federation in the Shanghai Cen- tennial Conference of 1907, revealed in a con- spicuous way qualities that characterized all the work of his life. For thirty years his forceful and peculiarly attractive personality made him a leader in shaping the life of New China for generations to come. He could be daringly independent in emergencies, but he preferred quiet eo-operation. He uncon- sciously bore the message of his life upon his face. It was an exnltant and winsome call to be onc's best and to do his utmost. MRS. Anmn Fmcn GEISER. Few of us in Oberlin had the privilege of knowing Mrs. Geiser, but no one who met her could fail to be attracted by the rare charm of her personality and by her gracious woman- liness. Her ambitions were centered in her husband's work and advancement, and in their home life together she found her highest pleasure. The community and the college alike mourn her loss. 162 PERRY ANDREW HAIGI'lT. On December 12, 1908, occurred the death of Perry Andrew Haight of the Class of 1911. In the face of the ravages of an almost hope- less disease, he strove onward toward a full preparation for life. The cheerfulness and fortitude with which he met his trouble won the respect and admiration of all his friends. JAMES NICCRORY. James lXlcCrory of Charleston, lllinois, joined the middle class of the Academy at the beginning of the winter term. Nine weeks later he was taken to the Oberlin Hospital where he died on March the twenty-second. His strong fight for life during the last days, and his constant good humor and fresh interest in all current happenings, will ever form a source of inspiration to those who were privi- leged to see him. Rarely in so short a time does a student win such a large place in the confidence and affections of his fellows as did james McCrory. MRS. NIARION J. P. HATCH. Mrs. Hatch was born May 9, 1835. She graduated from Willoughby Female Seminary in 1853, married Mr. Hatch in 1860, and came to Oberlin six years later. During her long years of untiring service as matron of Talcott and as member of the Women's Board, Mrs. Hatch combined the rare qualities of a competent manager, a wise counselor, a firm friend, a gracious woman, and a vital Christian. The intiuence of her rich life was felt by all with whom she came into contact. REUBICN Hfvrcu. After ninety-four years of active service, Mr. Hatch died june 14, 1908. 1-le graduated from Oberlin College in 1843, and from the Seminary three years later. He was one of the founders of Olivet College and succeeded Mr. Shipherd as its principal. For the twenty-five years following 1850, he labored in various places as teacher and as pastor. After 1876 he lived in Oberlin, first as manager of Ladies Hall and then of Talcott Hall, until eight years ago when his failing health forced him to give up active life. His, most truly, was a life filled with service for others. - 163 Q. - , A 'WV ff., 7 J g -f A ' 'f 'Q 15167235 If . It ,, lip 17 5 ' 4 ' A 1 .fl ...W L-2 1 L JAY ' V, , F ff l'f r. Y ' J.

Doerschuk Musical Union entered upon its forty-ninth season in October by taking up the study of Sebastian Bach,s Christ- mas Oratorio. This work composed in 1734. was designed for the Festival of Christmas as celebrated through six days by the North German Churches. The Christ Story as told in popular hymn tunes, in choruses, and in solos, gave to this masterpiece of Bach, especial fitness for the Holiday Concerts. The Selection of this oratorio was in line with the growing interest throughout the music world in this older type of composition. Like many modern works however, as for example Les Beatitudes by Franck, it 180 T H E H I - O - H I 1 9 1 0 needs to be heard more than once, if the hearer is to discern its deeper feeling and variety of expression. The sympathetic and accurate support by the Thomas Orchestra and the soloists added in large measure to the success and charm of the performance. This is the first year since 1860 that the Musical Union has not given the whole or part of I-Iandel's Messiah, At the festival in May the Union assisted by five soloists and the New York Symphony Orchestra presented Elgar's Caractacus. The thread of the story upon which this cantata is based runs as follows: The principal character, Caractacus, one of the kings of the Britons, was defeated at the head of his army by the Roman invaders and carried to Rome and presented as a captive to the Emperor Claudius who, struck by his manly fearlessness, granted him his life and the freedom of the Eternal City. The intermingling of beautiful melodies, of war chants and martial airs makes this a popular and interesting composition. For the Commencement Concert the Musical Union will repeat Caractacus. fdlbristmas Qlnneert, Beeemhee 15, 1908 C1-IRISTMAS ORATORIO ...................................

Had the old Hazelmere in slick shape for the boys when they clumb on her at I :oo o'clock. One of the lads got soaked a bean for riding a block in a cab, but he made connections O. K. -just as we pulled out. Abbott, I thinkis his name. DEC. 24. Heard Geiger grown in his sleep something about the sh.ebang at Minonk, Hit nein, Blacksmiths, Blockheads, Parks isn't all right yet. Hai'nt no idea what he was allowing. DEC. 25. Beerschuck talks a pile in his sleep too. Nun ist es bekommen. Austin mein Vaterlandf' Wirkler's wife smiled at me today. She may be dutch but she's got the rest of the saurkrout dingers skinned. - ' DEC. 26. Aberdeen-just fair dump. Wirkler eats a pile of oatmeal. Guess he don't get anything but prunes at h.ome. Mor- ris said he made good with a waitress. DEC. 27. Those guys surely are tight. They squoze out five plunks tome as a Christmas present last night. Before they travel around much more, Miller and some more of th.ose blokes will get learnt to be more liberal if they Want better accomoditians. DEC. 28. One of the Dutchmen is sonnumbulust. He Walks a lot in his sleep. Maybe it's Beerschuck. This is a rummy bunch. They don't smoke. DEC. 29. Not a dum thing lit up the landscape today. Only one interesting lonely haystack. Wirkler's wife called him a sad bird. Geiger suttonly is fond of crackers and milk. So is Felix, the ossified man-but he can't make as much noise as Geiger when h.e eats. Wirth is sad on his grammer. DEC. 30. Boys said they got lonely for room thirteen tonight. 184 THE HI-O-I-111916 These Sioux Falls guys are the wisest ones I have struck. About fifty heard the boys howl. DEC. 31. Brite and Fare. Got shed of one of the Dutchmen today. I took a rize out of him at 4:30 so he could clean his teeth before he hit Austin. Glad I don't have to feed him today. Ebbutz is getting distinctiver. JAN. I. Mr. Peck likes the white meat. Strong had a pain in the abandon today. Morris gets lots of mail from Toledo. JAN. 2. Had a little time to rest today. Chamberlain has stopped talking about the girls. Claims he seen a purty waitress in th.e hotel. Put the boys next to a good show, Frol1cksome Calvesfl' Rosebud could see it. JAN. 4. These boys are no sports. Play base ball or fan craze all day. Why don't they get drunk and be tuff? Saw Leish stuff a chicken bone into his pocket at dinner. I-Ie has some capacity. jenkins combed his hair twenty minutes today. JAN. 5. A new man joined us today. Richards, I guess is his name. Think he has been hiding in one of the state-rooms. Strong got two letters from the East today. I'd get married. JAN. 6. Woke up this morning and. the dum bottom was blowed out of the thermometer and the mercury was froze up. Pipes is all busted. Boys washed their faces on ends of towels dipped in drinking water. Take me back to good old Chicago, Ill. JAN. 7. Pen in this town. Klogg just barely escaped. Snell looks like a nice fellow. Ai'nt purty, but I guess he's sane. That's more than I can say for some of the others. Miller was the second man to the concert tonight. Guess he was sick. JAN. 8. Ebert left for home this morning. He's got lots of girls. Got two hours sleep last nigh.t. Guess that'll do me for a couple of weeks. JAN. 9. Well, I'm back home in dear old Chi. Left the kids this morning. They're not so bad, but oh! so young!

H-nr innll L1 L In some respects, the foot ball season of 1908 was a disappoint- ment, in others it was a glorious success. We were disappointed merely because wc did not win two of our most important games. But we are filled with pride when we think of the magnihcent team which represented Oberlin last fall, of the Sportsman-like spirit shown throughout, and of the loyal support given by the entire student body. The season started very auspiciously, for Oberlin had a large, well-equipped squad of men trying out for positions. There was a large number of last year's famous team back in the lineup, Cole, I-Iouser, Gray, Vradenburg, Doerschuk, Belden, Baxter, Ferris, Pendleton, and Ament, and everything pointed toward a state cham- pionship. But owing to the condition of Dill field, our players were continually being injured, so th.at during the whole seasonwe were able to have but very few practices in which the entire Varsity team took' part. This lack of practice proved disastrous, for although there was much brilliant individual playing in all the games, yet Oberlinls chief weakness lay in the fact that our men did not always show consistent team work. The first important game of the year was with Cornell on October Ioth. The trip to Ithaca was a pleasant one from every standpoint. Not a man who took it will ever forget the ride on the boat from Cleveland to Buffalo, the Oberlin songs and yells which filled the air, and the general good spirit which prevailed. During 208 T H E H I - O - H I 1 9 1 0 our stay at Cornell we were treated with the utmost courtesy and consideration, and the feeling throughout was of the very best. The game itself was fast, spectacular, and replete with brilliant plays, especially on the part of Oberlin. Our team set too rapid a pace for the Cornell regulars, and before the game was over all of them had been replaced by subs. At' the end of the first five min- utes in the second half, the score stood 6-6, and with only eight minutes to play the score was Cornell 12, Oberlin io, but by using two teams they were finally able to defeat us 23 to Io. After this game, Oberlin had difiiculty in getting in condition for the game with Case, and it was a team sadly in need of practice that lined up against the Brown and White warriors. The battle was hard fought and the first half ended with Case in the lead. However, in the second half our men came back harder than ever, and by superior pluck and endurance were able to roll up I2 points in the last eight minutes of play, the final score being Oberlin 12, Case Io. And so for th.e third consecutive year Oberlin had been able to humble one of her most time-honored rivals. In the game with Western Reserve, we were handicapped by the absence of our two regular quarter backs, who were unable to play on account of injuries. However, Oberlin put up a great fight, and our opponents were forced ,... .. .. .. . to play to the limit all the time. They played a steady, consistent game, while our main weakness was again lack of team work. The final score was Reserve 12, Oberlin 5. We have no excuses or apologies to make. Oberlin fought every second of the time. and Reserve fully earned her revenge for that 16 to o defeat of last year. Notwithstanding our losing to Reserve, enthusiasm rose to the highest pitch before the game with Ohio State at Columbus. Petitions were cir- culated and about goo loyal, 209 1 , W ' .. in Ixgax.- in .Ju lusty, and enthusiastic rooters made th.e trip to the State Capital. The game was one of the best ever witnessed on any field. Both teams were in good condition, and both were ready for a stiff light, Oberlin to wipe out the defeat of 1907, O. S. U. to redeem her defeats of the early part of the season. But Oberlin was doomed to disappointment, for although we scored more touchdowns than Ohio State, we were beaten by th.e place-kicking of one man, and State's victory of last year was duplicated. So once again the championship slipped from our grasp. But we have nothing of which to be ashamed, for we can well be proud of our team, both for its playing and for the representative men who were on it. I Our prospects for next year are good, as there will be a large number of old players back in the game, together with. several promising players from this year's Freshman class. With such men as Coach Snyder and Simp Smith to lead them, everything augers well for the season of 1909. if . PICKUPS DURING THE SEASON.

Q za .Ani p V my ri-s Q lk 0 9 his . hh Oberlin College was quite latv in taking up basket ball because of not having a suitable place in which to play the game. As soon, however, as the Warner Gymnasium was completed, in 1902, class teams were organized and the following year the first Varsity team made its appearance. J. G. Olmstead, our efiicient coach, played center on this team and George Vradenburg was one of the guards. Th.is first season was a success and Oberlin was immediately placed in the front rank of Ohio basket ball teams. Every year, since the game started in Oberlin, has been a 'best year. In no year has the team lost more games than it has won. Ohio State has been met eleven times with six victories for Oberlin, and of the ten games that have been played with Wooster, our teams h.ave won seven. In all forty-eight games have been played with Ohio teams, resulting in thirty-four victories for Oberlin. The team of 1907 won the undisputed championship of Ohio, while the next year's team did nearly as well, sharing honors with Wooster. The defeat this year at the hands of Ohio State was the first one ever administered by an Ohio team on the Warner floor. The season of 1908 developed three first-class Varsity men, Gray, Pendleton, and Capt. Morrison, all of the class of 1910. These veterans and about thirty other candidates all came out at the beginning of the season. Coach Olmstead soon had a team C 220 T H E H I - O - H I 1 9 1 0 selected and at once began putting them in sh.ape for the first game of the year. An easy victory was won from Ohio Wesleyan on the ninth of January, it was, in fact. a mere practice game. The next game was at Ann Arbor, and in spite of the long, cold ride, the Varsity played a game in which the score was tied eleven times. The tie at the end of th.e second half necessitated an extra five minutes of play in wh.ich Michigan won the contest. This defeat was oiifset by the victory over Denison a week later. The Eastern trip came during the first week of February and right in the midst of the semester examinations. The game with Syracuse was lost by one point, though Oberlin clearly outplayed her opponents. The second game resulted in a defeat for Varsity at the hands of Colgate. The next morning th.e men took the train for Rochester, fully realizing that the hardest game was yet to be played, but each man was fully determined to take home at least one victory. Rochester had not yet lost a home game and, needless to say, she was confident of victory. By clean, fast, gentlemanly playing on the part of every player of her team, Oberlin won th.e victory together with the respect and admiration of everyone who witnessed the game. The Rochester team visited Oberlin two weeks 221 T H E H I - O - H I 1 9 1 0 later and, though losing to Varsity, they, too, were equally admired and respected by everyone of the great crowd that witnessed the game. The clean playing of our team was a pleasant surprise to all who saw them play on the trip. Wooster was the next team to suffer defeat and Rochester took their second trouncing a week later. Then came the 'fdown State trip. Wooster won the first game, but the facts concerning the contest cannot be related here. The victory over Wesleyan, the next day, was easily won as was the one over Reserve the following Saturday. The best game of the season on the home floor, was the last one. It was the State Championship game played with Ohio State before the largest crowd ever admitted to the Warner Gymnasium. Oberlin lost the contest and with it the championship. Oberlin lost the championship this year, but she won a reputation worth far more to the College and the members of its team than the coveted State Championship. This same team, of wh.ich Oberlin may justly be proud, strengthened by promising Freshmen and captained by the same Whit Morrison, should easily retain their great reputa- tion, and, perchance, win State honors next year.

A D 9 1 -4-r1i11- nL.?vliuL..ui-.. mf: Baseball history in Oberlin College, so the record books show, began about the year 1886. In that season three games were played, with Adelbert College fnow Western Reservej, Mount Union, and the University of Michigan. Of these games, Oberlin won the first two by scores of 19-3 and I5-I respectively. The third game was played in October and lost, 9-7. These October games continued in favor until 1891, when football usurped the entire athletic interest of the fall. 5' Following on down through season after season, we see baseball gradually assuming a more prominent position in the college life, and the schedules becoming correspondingly more attractive and lengthy. We also see such players developed as Clate Fauver, the Fauver twins- Winn and Oar, Clancy, Hoopes, Wiley, and so on to the worthy players of our own student generation. 5' For the season of IQO8 Oberlin had a team whose record far surpassed that of the previous year, and if accidents and injuries could have been avoided, it would have been close to a champion- ship team. Director Savage was very fortunate in securing the services of A. L. Chapin as coach. His work was quite satisfactory and resulted in a steady improvement in the team's playing ability. 230 T H E H I - O - H I 1 9 1 0 The first game was played with Kenyon on April 25th, after a heavy rain. Only by sponging the grounds and changing the position of the infield, was the game finally made possible. Here, evidently, the hoodoos started, for Morrison sprained his ankle and was kept out of the game for a month. Even with a changed line- up, Oberlin won, 3-2. 5' The second game was with Case in Cleveland, on May 2nd, A cold reception of wind and snow greeted the boys that afternoon and the game played was a trifie erratic. Case won by a narrow margin, 2-1. 8? No more games were played until about May 15th, when Oberlin journeyed via the B. SL O. fha! halj to Granville and handed Denison University a shut-out score of 6-o. Cyn Burton was in form and allowed but four hits. On the next day Oberlin played O. W. U. at Delaware and by splendid batting in th.e eighth inning, won a game which was all but lost. Vradenburg and Hugh Smith starred at the bat. Score, 7-6. 8'6 On May zoth, however, O. W. U. came back to Oberlin and won a close game, 8-7. Gray, who had been pitching splendid ball, wrenched a muscle in his arm and was forced to retire. I? On May 23d Case was given a warm reception in acknowl- edgment of her previous cold one at Cleveland. The Scientists'l were beaten in a splendid game by the score, 3-2. Next came the never-to-be-forgotten West Virginia trip to Morgantown. Off the field the treatment was courteous, but at play it would be difiicult to say which was the worst, the crowd, 231 3 EI hi P T H E H I - O - H I 1 9 1 0 the umpire, or a certain few of the players. The details of this game are better forgotten. june 6th found the team at Wooster, gaining a victory over the much exploited Schontz, but this victory of 3-2 was offset the next week when Wooster came to Oberlin and won, 4-2. On June 20th Reserve sprungher old hoodoo and won, 4-3. Two days later, however, Varsity took a brace and trounced the pet team of the Alumni by an il-3 score. As we review the past season, we cannot forget Captain Ward. His versatility and knowledge of the game enabled him to play almost any position on the team. More than once he was able to deliver a few speedy ones from the pitcher's box. l'Cap's'l great romping ground was between second and third, and there his best was always evident. He might have been a star pitcher if the coach could have filled his place at short stop with. any other man. VVe are satisfied with the season, when all's said and done, yet can hope for a better one this year. J. L. BRIQCKINRIIJGE.

The first Home Field Day occurred in 1890, and was characterized by about thirty events including all kinds of bicycle and foot racing and the comic athletic feats which one sees at picnics now-a-days. Evidently so many events were not desirable, for the next year's program was made up of modern field day eventsg bicycling continued, however, until the beginning of the 20th Century. if The first intercollegiate meet of Ohio was held in Columbus in I8Q6. Six colleges participated, Oberlin winning easily, as she did the next year also with Ohio State a distant second on each occasion. This meet terminated our intercollegiate relations until the year 1901 when Ohio State was met and defeated by the score of 63 to 33. O. S. U. was also defeated by a good margin in 1903. VVestern Reserve has been met five times with four victories for the Crimson and Goldf' Case and Wesleyan have each been defeated, making a total of eleven dual meets with Ohio teams, resulting in nine victories for Oberlin. Sw The Big Six Conference of Ohio was formed, largely through the efforts of our Dr. St. John, in 1903. Oberlin won the championship in the first and second annual meets and was second 240 T H E H I - O - H I 1 9 1 0 the third year. In the next two meets Oberlin was forced to take fourth place, but last year our team was found back in second place. 5' In telling the history of 1908 there is one athlete in particular who is worthy of mention, and that is A. J. Parks, ,OQ, th.e most famous track athlete in Ohio in recent years, famous not only for his great ability as a pole vaulter and jumper, but as an all round track man. I-Ie is the holder of the records for the broad jump and the pole vault. Parks was not in school for the season of 1907, but was back last year to lead the team in a very successful season. 56 The Hrst and only dual meet of 1908 was held at th.e University School Field on May 12th, and resulted in a victory over Western Reserve, the score being 64 to 53. Capt. Parks easily won his events, the high jump, broad jump and pole vault, besides running th.e winning quarter of the relay race. Sims took second in the 100-yd. dash and won both the 220-yd. and the quarter in good time. The greatest race of the day was the two mile in which our runners. I 1 241 ii T H E H I - O - H I 1 9 1 0 VVe1ls and Howe, did some clever work. Wells won the race in one of the closest and most exciting finishes ever witnessed in Cleveland. The sixth annual Big Sixw meet was held last year at Colum- bus on the 22nd of May. The meet was a success in every respect, and Oberlin made a remarkably strong showing. Cole won the shot put, the first time the event was ever won by Oberlin. Capt. Parks won three Hrsts and did h.is usual good work in the relay race. He won the high jump at 5-ft. 6-in. in just two attempts. Everybody took it for granted that O. S. U. would win the two mile run, but Wells made all of his opponents look like h.igh school boys by finishing seventy-five yards ahead of the man that won second place. Oberlin planned on winning at least one of the sprint races but in this she was greatly disappointed, and consequently had to be satisfied with second place. Ohio State the winner, led Oberlin by only seven points, in spite of the fact that the Capitol sch.ool, having no baseball team, specialized in track athletics last year. The record made in 1908, as well as in preceding years, is something of which all Oberlin students may well be proud. C. W. HUNT. F A 'r 4f C 44 242 T H E H I - O - H I 1 9 1 Event. - 220-yd.

Burroughs nczmrmv nwuhnwlgg 3435 Miz. Enrrokz- You ask me to write something about Oberlin Academy Ath- letics. In truth, 1 believe the athletics of Oberlin Academy differ in no great degree from those of similar schools. The pages of this book easily sh.ow the games won and lost, and those who know the players can pick out their choice better than I. To say that the Baseball Team of 1908 scored eleven runs to their opponents, 243 that the Football Team of 1909 scored 20 points to their opponents, 77, that the Basketball Team of 1909 won every game on their schedule scoring 471 points to their opponents' 166, will spell suc- cess or failure of those teams to many people. 87' But athletics in any school should not be judged from this standpoint, unless you only want to know who won,,' or what was the score? Athletics, if they are to be justified for their existence in school and college, must be looked at ultimately from a different view-point. The hnal reason for the existence of athletics in Oberlin is that they have a recreative and educational value. I leave out of' consideration the advertising an athletic team does, because it is insufiicient to justify the money, time, and effort expended in this branch of education. Oberlin is an educational institution, and athletics must be judged from an educational standpoint. Sm What then can we say about athletics? Those, who believe in them, say that football teaches a man courage, yet few players are courageous enough to come out the entire season, when they pre- sumably have no chance of making the team. The player, who comes out the entire season and gives his energy while on the Held ' 250 T H E H I - O - H I 1 9 1 0 to the game in wh.ich he indulges, has learned the lesson of courage. They say that football and basket ball and baseball teach a man quickness of eye, alertness of mind, sensitive perception. Yet all these fail, if in making a better animal, you havenlt made a better man. lf the alertness of mind is not transmitted to the class room, to the business of your school work for which primarily you are here, then athletics fail. If th.e sensitive perception does not allow you to see worth in that man who is beating you to the coveted position, of what educational value is your ability gained? We know that sport teaches us co-operation, ability it gives us to work with other men, yet how do you demonstrate the lesson you have learned when you knock your coach, your captain, your quarter- back? How do you justify your participation in athletics when you are continually a disorganizer of that team, when your mana- ger is working with all h.is might toward a desired end you hinder his every step. They say athletics teach a man control of his body, control of his actions, self-respect, yetwhen th.ese fail in the ex- amination, the lesson has not been well learned. I believe that these qualities--courage, quickness, control and others, are inherent in our athletic games, and whether or not they become the matrix of our manhood, decides the succesghulness or failure of any team. The player should join the squad because he likes the game, or wants to learn the game, or because he believes th.e game and the association with the players will give him certain things of value. Too often the only things esteemed of value are sweaters, jerseys, balls and shoes. How pitiful it is when a player will lose his self- respect to obtain a sweater, or a ball. The impersonal nature of an athletic association makes it easy to forget the lessons of courage and control of actions, and sensitive perceptions. 56' Mr. Editor, I have merely suggested some evils th.at exist in athletics, and have tried to show what values are lost. The Academy management has worked to attain these values, and to eliminate these evils. The Director is grateful to the many on the various teams who have co-operated with h.im. We look for the value of our academy athletic seasons in the attainment of courage, nerve, quickness, sensitiveness, control, endurance, honesty, self-respect, and co-operation. J. F.

RUTH HOUGHTON The Gymnasium and Field Association opened its entertain- ment the third Saturday of the fall term with a dance. The weather was anyth.ing but pleasant. Despite that fact, the gymnasium floor was crowded to its greatest capacity. A new field for hockey has been fitted up between W. Lorain and W. College streets, with its entrance on W. College near Mel- rose. This spring will probably witness class contests and add still more to the growing interest in this sport. A second dance was held the second Saturday of the winter term, and was even more pleasant than the first. In the near future a bungalow, to be used as a club-house, is to be erected on the hockey field. The fondest wish of the Association is to build a swimming pool, and this is l10t a hazy dream, for the contributions from Oberlin girls and outsiders have helped bring th.e cherished object nearer. Besides the pool, bowling alleys and a fine arrangement of locker-rooms are to be built. If all the girls in Oberlin would help, each in their own great or small way, this longed-for swimming pool would become a reality. 260 1,-.. is g VV4- J' '-L , , ,, ,g -f'h - +---- ia, .

Not until the first of November brought snow, were the tennis enthusiasts drivenffrom the courts. Of the seventy-four who took part in the tournament, all but some twenty were Physical Training students. The freshman class came out in greatest numbers, furnish- ing about thirty. The Womens' Gymnasium and Field Association had four courts ready for use during the fall and these were all filled on any pleasant day. Lessons were given freely to beginners, which greatly increased the interest in the game. The loss of the best court, north of Dascomb Cottage, was keenly felt, but it was atoned for by the college, which has given us several new courts this spring. 56 The tournaments last spring resulted in a victory for the Acad- emy, when Laura Thayer became the tennis champion for 1908. 261 Laum Thayer, Tennis Champion .- zz- 'H ---'1'u ' Y-.g' ' -, N . v , ,.4 ---1 .

Everybody that could get in. And it was worth coming to see, for the standard of work is high, even though each girl is a college student as well as a member of the Physical Training Department. The course is, in fact, unap- proaehed, even by special Physical Training schools, this side of Boston. First on the program was a minuet, stepped in all its old-time beauty and stateliness. This was followed by a wand-drill, and later, by Indian clubs. Apparatus work on the horse, box, parallel bars, trapeze, ropes, and flying rings kept every girl busy. But it was all done in good form, even to holding the landing position CPD To the dancing a comparatively large place was allotted. The 1908 girls appeared in the American Beauty Waltzf' a type of the graceful, finished, classic dance. The girls of the class of 1909 arrayed in Scotch Plaid and bonnet, and showing true Scotch forti- tude danced the famous l'Highland Fling. And-most fittingly, -the irish Liltl' was given by the class of 191 1, then Freshmen. Last of all, the girls of 1910 dramatized bits of peasant life by means of the Swedish Folk Dances. 263 SENIORS iBbp5icaI Zltraining 19.141 All ,wf1,,.m'ZIk JUNIORS H aiu SOPHOMORES iBlJp5ical Qtraining FRESHMEN I y B Gymnasium Cfxhihitiun errata FF ASQ 1 y KET R L Artie EaIz:iBrincetnn Game The annual game of basket-ball, waged with much spirit and fury between Yale and Princeton, occurred this year at the Women's Gymnasium, Nov. ll at half-past six.

Instantly the far-away look on her face was supplanted by one of sparkling merriment. Oh, yes I can, she laughed, I looked at the clock, as I came in. Didn't you? No, he answered with a little confusion. 'Tm afraid not. Then he added, Shall I tell you what I was looking at? No, she replied, with pretty authority. There was a moment of quiet, then he solemnly reached in his pocket, and pulled out a watch. Why Fred Gordon, you horrid man, do you mean to say that you'ye had your watch with you all afternoon! Why Fred, you told me as innocently as could be that you h.adn't an idea what time it wasf' And I didn't have. You sinner,-of course you didn't. And to think that that was why l was late and that was why I took supper here with you. You horrible, horrible man. The girl burst into peals of laughter, sweet and joyous, and unrestrained. Come,', she said, 'lwelre going home right away! She was already out of the door by the time he had paid for their meal, and he had to hurry to catch her. Yet after he joined her she did not walk very rapidly. 272 T H E H I - O - H I 1 9 1 0 It had grown quite dark, and the store windows gayly lighted the sidewalk, revealing carefree girls in groups of two or three, or more, and crowds of rollicking, stalwart college men, and oc- casionally a happy couple, a man and maid, responding with exuberant spirit to the insistent call of Summer. As they walked along the girl, from sheer inability to repress herself, began humming softly. The man knew that hehad little to do with h.er feeling, that she was simply bubbling over with life and strength--with the joy of living. Yet he was happy too,-who could walk beside her and not be happy? However he was in a more serious mood. Nearly everyone they met spoke to him. Three little darky boys called out, Hi there, Gordon, a professor nodded geniallyg the baseball captain bowing to her stopped him a moment by a friendly clutch on his arm, three men, distinguished as sopho- mores by their hats, interrupted a lively song long enough to cry UI-Iello, Gordon. Everyone seemed to greet him, girls as well as men, and he replied to all pleasantly. As they neared the Talcott tree a chorus of voices, some high., some low, some bantering, some grave, began calling out to him from the darkness. He waved his hand in reply with mock courtesy. Aren't you the popular man, though, she gaily remarked. Oh yes, I suppose so, he replied. And isn't it fun to be popular? she ran along. I don't care for popularityf' he said. It doesn't mean much. Give me a few good friends! Neither said anything as they left the diagonal walk and slowly strolled toward Baldwin. She was still softly humming. Sometimes, he finally asserted, Pm afraid they're not very charitable here at Oberlin, and for all their goodness, if a fellow were actually to commit a serious sin, they'd be pretty quick to down him-more so I think than in other places. Why, you serious old pessimist, the girl burst out, and again she laughed her sweet contagious laughter. He had to join her in it. ' I don't want to go in a bit, the girl said. Well then I wouldn't, he asserted. Oh, yes you would, she replied. Goodbye Goodbye, he called after her, humor and amazement in his voice, for she shot through. the door, Without so much as giving him a chance to open it. He had a fleeting glimpse of some blue eyes 273 T H E H I - O - H I 1 9 1 0 laughing at him through the door-glass, and waving his hand he started away. For the next few days Gordon was very busy with h.is work as manager of the Annual, and had no chance to chat with Elizabeth except as a crowd of friends were about, so it was with unfeigned pleasure one morning as he was going down the library stairs, that he caught sight of h.er coming up. He hailed her with frank joy, Fortune's smiling on me today. Have you heard the news? she asked. CK No Guess I'm never good at that, he said. Try, she answered. All right, and he heaved a big sigh. The Family Theatre h.as a new play? he gravely ventured. No, she drawled, a merry light in her eyes. The faculty have decided to permit dancing in Oberlin? even more gravely. Pshaw, she said, you're no good. What is it, then? Jack and Lois are engaged. Why, that's pretty fine,l' he said. With this she started up the steps smiling a goodbye. - Wait a minute, he called. I wanted to ask you to go to the concert with Ame. Why Fred, I couldn't think of it. He wondered whether she was going with George or whether she didn't want him to spend so much money on her. Oh yes, I want to take you very much, he pleaded. No,?' she said kindly, but definitely. Well, when may I call on you? he ventured. I hardly know. Some night next week? Why, I h.ave so many engagements I'm afraid I'll get into trouble if I make any more. His eyes were so frank, and so unhappy, that at length she added, I have to gather some wild roses next Saturday afternoon for Y. W. If you care to help me-- You witch! he exclaimed. 274 T H E H I - O - H I 1 9 1 0 But they have lots of thorns, she flung back as she reached the head of the stairs. 5' Th.e juniors, Gordon's class, surpassed a little it may be, all the others in their spirit of good fellowship and loyalty to each otherg so when a special meeting was called in Sturges and everyone thought the Annual Stunt was to be arranged, the young men and women alike Bled in and took their seats with high good humor. The class president called the meeting to order with the remark that Mr. Gordon h.ad something to say. As Gordon stepped to the platform, few noticed that he was pale, and he was greeted with vociferous applause. But with his first sentence a startled hush fell upon the room. Men and women of this class, he said, I have a confession to make to you. - A few, thinking he was jesting, smiled with anticipation. But their smiles died from their faces as erect and speaking clearly he went on. I have done you a very great wrong. Three hundred dollars of the Annual money which I thought I could replace at once I have spent and now I cannot replace it. I felt perfectly safe in spending the moneyg felt absolutely certain I could replace it in a week, but now I've done everyth.ing in my power to do so and I cannot-at least not yet. This means that the publication of the Annual will have to be delayed. Gordon sat down amid a deathly silence. After a pause which seemed like years, the president arose and asked if there were any remarks. The agonizing silence continued. At length he spoke once more. If not, he said, I guess we'd better, consider the meeting adjourned. We'll call another meeting later. With subdued whispers and puzzled and sorrowful faces, the girls passed out. The men equally sorrowful, followed, all but a few who lingered to speak to Gordon. I-Ie was still sitting in his seat, and Hal Webster, his best friend, stepping to his side placed an affectionate hand on his shoulder. Fred, why did you do it?'l I needed the money, he said quietly, and I was perfectly certain I could replace it. After a pause-- But let me alone now. Hal lingered a moment but seeing that Gordon wished to be left alone, joined the other men, and left him sitting by himself in 275 T H E H I - O - H I 1 9 1 0 the room. After a few moments he drew himself together and resolutely stepped outside. , Hurrying along College street he was so absorbed in thought that he scarcely replied to those who accosted him, but when several hours later, after a long walk in the country, he was return- ing to his room and passed a number of his acquaintances, he found it difficult to greet them naturally. He felt, or at least he imagined a certain restraint, an accusation on their part. The next day he found it still more difficult to talk even with his friends. He knew there were a number of the class, who judged him very harshly, and in fact he was not lenient with himself. The significance of what h.e had done grew upon him. To Hal he explained that he had taken the money to help a friend, to others he said nothing. He knew it would be worse than useless to visit the bankers again, that they would be less inclined than ever to let h.im have money without security, now that his act was known. Considering the various ways by which he might earn the money most quickly, he wrote to several firms he had known in a business way to see if there were any positions open for him, and while he awaited replies, in an endeavor to keep himself normal, he continued going to his classes. lt was here that the very kindness of his friends even more than the tacit hostility of those who had been envious of h.is popularity, hurt him. He could not bear to have people kind to him, and more and more he withdrew into himself. He had sent a note to Elizabeth asking to be excused from his engagement, and her reply, gentle and considerate, had made him all the more anxious to avoid meeting her for a time. The third day after his announcement to the class was a mem- orable one in Chapel. For Professor Horace who judged the young man severely led the exercises and read a selection which everyone felt applied to Gordon. It was upon the gradual lowering of ideals, and as the professor's resonant voice rolled on, There is nothing more woeful than the way a man allows himself to drift. He does not intend to cut loose from his ideal, he simply in some incident apparently trivial fails to hold tenaciously to it, and then imper- ceptably to himself, slowly at Hrst but ever faster, he drifts away. My friends, no one has ever yet come all at once to committing a terrible sin- as the professor's voice grew eloquent, every eye in the huge chapel involuntarily turned toward Gordon. He sat with perfect composure, apparently oblivious. Even the professor's gaze 276 T H E H I - O - H I 1 9 1 0 followed that of the audience, and the sight of Gordon sitting so calm, vexed. him into saying, with unnecessary sternness, Be sure your sin will ind you out. There are about us every day, deplor- able examples: we all of us regret-'I a sudden noise broke into the intense stillness. Hal Webster sprang to his feet, Damned if I can stand for thisln he spoke half aloud, and with angry face and clenched fists, strode to th.e rear of the chapel and out of the swing- in door. g There were others who looked as though they would like to follow, the faculty themselves fidgeted in their seats. Gordon looked the speaker full in the face, as after a pause he went on: 'fMay the Almigh.ty give us sight to see if our ideals are growing lower, and may He give us courage to make them grow higher. There was a brief prayer, the Amen sounded, and after one or two announcements, chapel was dismissed. No one talked with Gordon, for he apparently wished to be left alone. Some few minutes later as Professor Horace, a corpulent man, lost in revery, was about to turn into his house for luncheon, he was accosted by a tall, broad-shouldered, dark-haired young man, who spoke in a calm, even voice. Professor Horace, may I h.ave a word with you? Why certainly, Gordonf' and the professor's eyes lighted with anticipation. Well, sir, I just wanted to tell you, that if you weren't such an insignificant specimen physically, I'd sweep the sidewalk with you. The professor's face grew pale, he tried to swallow something in h.is throat, and his eyes bulged a little. Why-er- but Gordon cut him short- I've a mind to do .it anyway! he flashed. Then in a quieter tone he added, But I won't,,' and turning on his heel was gone before the professor could reply. Though Gordon smiled grimly on his way up the street after h.is little affair with the professor, the class meeting that was held that afternoon made him feel sick at heart. Hal had told him that perhaps he had best not come, and then afterward had informed him that the class had accepted his resignation and had voted to raise the money by general subscription. On his way to the postofhce to see if there were any answers to his letters, he passed one or two acquaintances who greeted him with embarrassment, and he scarcely knew how to reply, but when at 277 T H E H I - O - H I 1 9 1 0 length Gordon caught sight of Elizabeth in the distance, he groaned and turned up a side street. After a while he reached the postoflice. There was no mail. Once more he walked far into the country, and the farther he walked, the more deeply he became convinced of one fact, that he must leave college immediately. At length he turned his steps h.omeward and as he neared town he caught sight of the familiar figure of the man, whom of all men he most wished to avoid. Yet as he h.urried by with averted face a cheery friendly voice called out, Fred Yes, sir, was his reply. Walk a little farther with me, can't you? Gordon hesitated a moment, and th.en without a word joined him. Fred, to whom did you give that money?,' To a friend. Yes, but to whom? After a moment, Gordon said, To mother. Finally he added, Mother got herself into trouble by trying to help a man who once did a lot for father. The man drinks and h.is family are in a bad way. A few months ago he came to mother and persuaded her to go on a note with him, and- I understand, said his friend. You had to help her. Yes, Gordon assented eagerly, and I was so sure I could make the money in one or the other of those two deals I told you about. I remember. The two walked along in silence for some distance, then his companion spoke- again, And what are you going to do now?,' I'm going to leave college, and earn the money as quickly as I can. I think you are wise, unless, he added, you would rather stay here and face the consequences. That would be much the harder th.ing to do. I'll have to leave in order to earn the money, Gordon said simply. No, said the friend, I can help you out. Professor Warren, was all Gordon could say. They walked along in silence for some minutes and then Gor- don spoke again. . 278 THE HI-O-HI1910 I can't let you, professor, I'll have to help myself out of this. They turned and walked into town, neither speaking till they reached the professor's h.ouse, where the elder man held out his hand. Well, Fred, good night. Let me know what you decidef' Fred grasped his hand, then walked away into the darkness. The day following he accepted the professor's offer. Though Gordon had made fp, h.is mind to stay and though he knew it would be hard, little did he know how hard. At first, after returning the money to the class he attempted to greet his friends and acquaintances easily, for he knew that he had erred in judgment, not from motive. Yet none the less in all the college, no one saw more clearly than he himself the exact meaning of his deed. He had betrayed a trust. This fact took deeper and deeper hold upon him. He felt what he had done so grievously that even as time passed, he could not mingle with h.is friends in his wonted fashion. Perhaps he would enter Peters court and seeing a group of acquaintances would join them, only to feel that his presence caused restraint. Time after time he would make himself approach a group of his old friends, there would be an embarrassed pause, then an effort on the part of some to make conversation, no one would speak to him naturally and one by one the members of the group would drop away. So Gordon hesitated more and more to force himself upon people. At times it seemed to him as though he could bear his burden no longer, as though he must leave Oberlin, must flee from the sight of everyone he knew-he, Gordon, who so loved good fellow- ship, who had been a friend to everybody, who had taken a personal interest in all whom he greeted, from the sorriest little freshman to the most popular senior, he, Gordon, was now isolated and shunned by everyone! At times his courage almost failed him. Yet he stayed. How he longed for companionship. Of all his friends, the only one upon whom he felt free to call was Hal, and he couldn't be bothering Hal all the time, so he came more and more to take long walks by himself. Professor Warren he knew was always glad to see him, but even to Professor Warren h.e could not show the depth of his suffering. 279 T H E H I - O - H I 1 9 1 0 Elizabeth? He tried not to think of her-the thought of her hurt. ' One night, Hal dropped into his room to find him sitting all forlorn, his head bowed on his desk. Why Fred, he said, what's the matter? This isn't at all like you. But Fred smiled so cheerfully that Hal at once thought he was mistaken. Oh, I'm just tired, I've been studying pretty hard of late. What is it, Hal? Have you come to start a rough house, or to take a walkg or to borrow my physics notes? I-Iow'd you happen to guess? Hal replied. I would rather like to borrow your notes tonight. VVould it inconvenience you? Not at all, and Fred drew the notes from a drawer in his desk. Sit down a moment and be sociable, can't you?l' I'm afraid not, Hal answered. I have a date with Tom at seven, and then as Fred went down stairs with him he continued, You ought to have been to supper tonight, the girls were late for some reason, and Mrs. Leslie told the fellows to go on in. So we had stag tables. I donlt know when I've had such fun. It's a wonder we weren't called down, we had such a time. Well, so long. I'll return these notes tomorrow-or day after. No hurry, Gordon replied. So long. And he went up stairs and tried again to study, for Hal's visit had left him all the lonelier, had shown him all the more what an outcast he was. Again and again he tried to lose himself in his book, but at length he bowed his head on the desk once more. My God, he whispered, 'fthis is almost too hard. After a few moments, however, he raised his head with his old time look of determination, I guess it's up to me to take a walk. ' Out doors he hardly knew which way to turn his steps. But finally he was on h.is way to Professor Warrenls house, walking in deep thought, and scarcely noticing whom he passed, when he felt a light touch and a small hand was slipped through his arm. It was Elizabeth. He could not speak for a time, she also was silent. At length. she said: You are very brave to stay here. Gordon groaned. You don't know-you don't know what a coward I am. Every day, again and again, I'm tempted to leave. But you don't, and that shows what a true brave boy you are. 280 T H E H I - O - H I 1 9 1 O Gordon was too deeply moved to answer. After a bit she continued: But you don't understand the way people feel about you- you have no idea how many friends you have, and you're wrong in not letting people show their friendship. Oh, Elizabeth, was all he could say, but a great joy swelled in his heart. Could it be that she was right? After a little he heard her voice again: Well, you will do differently, you will let your friends be friends to you, won't you?U Yes, he said simply. Her hand slipped from his arm. Good night, she said softly, Good night, Frederick. 1 t U Y - ' 1 ' X N. . K, 5 . .,.. 'X mf ,g t 8 Imaging I-Iornell N. Hart. Echoes of song long silent, haunting, fleet, Run softly through the thoughts that throng the day, Uncertain, half-remembered, far away, . Yet yearning to recall th.eir strains complete, To hear the voice so long unheard, repeat The melody that still holds in its sway Long-lingering, whose notes have slipped away But left the haunting memory of their beat. So, longing dreams creep in which. bring your face, Your voice, your smile almost within my ken. Faint shadows of your very self arise- So faint, and yet instinct with haunting grace Which masters with desire that once again I might be near you, gaze into your eyes. 281 T H E H-I - O - H I 19 1 0 Ciba Sung ut the Qllanue Aa'm0nt ,H. Clark LOVE the night wh.en the moon is bright, And the air no secret tells, And the moonbeams rest on the Waters breast, Held by the midnight spells Of the dark robed trees on bended knees, Along the shore in prayer: VVhile the distant knell of a silver bell From the streamlet Hlls the air. The roaring song of the river strong That leaps toward the distant sea, The surge and plunge as the waters lunge Thrill like music to me. O the life, O the strife When my paddlers bend low, When the black rocks sing to the River King, And the hungry waters forever flow. Through the mystic haze of the Autumn days Like a phantom spirit I glide, Where the bull moose sees the crimson trees Mirrored on the silver tide. And the blood-red sun, when the day is done, Sinks below the hill. The night hawk swoops: the lily droops: And all the world is still.

It doesn't seem righ.t to ask you, of course, but I feel desperate. I don't want to accept Billy to the Glee Club Concert, but I haven't another bid.

As ever, Alice. Frightful nerve that girl has, really colossal. She ought to take something for it.

But hush the din awhile. I've come on business. GRACE: What has Apollo, King of men, said now? STUBBY: My friend, close your teeth tight together, and breathe slowly three times. It may give you some sense and me a chance to talk. Going to the concert? GRACE: I am. STUBBY: With, or without? GRACE: Without. Alice and I are going together. STUBBY: What's the matter with Alice? Can't she decide whose turn it is, or did she forget and accept two on the same date? Well, no matter, it just suits me. Brother and chum are going to be in town for the night, and they want to go to the concert, but I am engaged. GRACE: Ah, yes. Congratulations, I'm sure-the King of men--?

Can't get here before, so he'll take the six something train. STUBBY: O, I say, Alice. I've made another date for you, for that night. ALICE: You've made a date? STUBBY: My brother and that Mr. Kellar are coming down for that night, and Grace said that you and she would go with them. ALICE: Can't do it, Stub. Means a bust-up with Bob. STUBBY: Well, what of it,-aren't there nine others? ALICE: Stub, my dear, being addicted to only one you can't be expected to see my point of view, but I tell you I can't. Get Marjorie, she'll go. STUBBY: But you know how long Mr. Kellar has wanted to meet you, and-- ALICE: Can't do it, Stub. Besides, l've just turned Billy down, and it doesn't seem decent. Get Marjorie to go as Miss Hastings, if you want to. Those men never saw me, and th.ey will be just as happy. GRACE: That's an idea, Stub, and I'll go along to hold up the family rep. Marj's twice as good looking as Alice anyway,- er, Stub, have you a pencil? STUBBY: Yes, don't eat it though. What do you want it for? GRACE: To label my laundry, tight-wad.

And happier themes have quivered on the strings, Some polonaise to quit us of our fears, The scherzo of a brooklet in the sun, The ballad that some happy lover sings, And simple songs with signatures of tears, Wliose cadences are pain's oblivion.

A man loved by gods and women, and tol- erated by the Profs. Long-continued balmy and sun- shiny weather had pn-t the diamond in almost perfect shape and as the two sides took their- places it was evident to all that they were in the pink of condition. llowever, no one could have foretold just what the inning was to bring forth for from the umpire's play ball to the last grandstand reach by King, it was one livid streak of surprise. Andy's curves bothered the Naughty Niners for a long time but they soon got next and made things lively for the Faculty. Huston, on 1st was a cinch, Icwett on 2nd looked bad at First but didn't give much trouble. Branson did good consistent work and came very near preventing a run. Fitch, at short stop was a won- der, stopping everything that came within sight. . For the Naughty Niners the star plays were made by Hayden, Whitney, and Morris, who doubledg and by Adkins who started in for a home run but was sent to join thc specta- tors by Umpire Miller. Hunt and Parks both made easy three baggers GEORGINA. Nuf said, seeing that she has no case. lVe shall grow old apacc and die -SENIORS.

Helden walked. Shedd made a good grand- stand from 3rd to the plate. Carter died on 3rd, Sterns hoisted to lVolfc. Snell poked to Dlewett. lfVilliams sent a long wallop to right field, and Chambers' pretty assist helped Cohin to 3rd. liitch's fast throw just beat Sharp to the bag. llowenstcin popped to MaeLennau, but Fitch made a beauty bright catch of VanF0ssan's line drive. Chaney's pop-bunt fell sage. Andcregg was under Slu1cy's ily. Searle fanned. tice windmilled. Frost sacrificed, and a fumble by Fitch got a run by llurton. liowen was put out between 2nd and 3rd.

'Long about the wee small hours, with the dogs and coffee downed, Sleep compelling came, and each man, once a restful spot he found, Closed his eyes, and soon in slumber fourteenpmen were deep immersed, Seven slept the sleep of righteousness-seven had cause to fear the wurst.

We can here relate how the aesthetic nature of Oberlin folk has been irrevocably lacerated and wounded by the iiendish distinctions these youngsters have thrust before our eyes. The girls boiled their jumpers in Diamond Dyes of the cardinal hue, and as a result their fellow gymnuasts here below all suffer ocular aphasia. Not wishing to grieve the tender feelings of the coming Oberlin- ites, the less we say of the gloves the better.

The game started out briskly this year and kept a good paced: to the finish. So far as anyone could see, there were no errors anal no foul play, due to Jamie Brand and Murrell EdwardsT, who had coached the teams up well. Win Fairlields Q umpiring, too, was irreproachable. joel and Hazel starred from the first, though there had been some small loss of sleep on account of Petty engagements. Pennington made some Fair hits and Rrodids playing was Strong all through. Miss Sedgewick iiarveysted a good many grounders and Rozclla Cole caught a Fi-fielder that put the freshmen out on first. Parks and Miss Kofoed starred on the batty list. Laura VanCleve, unfortunately, was rather weak, due to a violent attack of heart trouble, and had to rest quite a while on each baseo. Miss Schreckengost, realizing the fact of future discount, put up a Stern fight, and Miss Stores made a Swift play and secured a home QPU. Miss Stores, Mr. Ielliffe, and Lake Strong made the only home runs of the game though Mary Fulton might have, if the game had lasted a little longer and the diamond been less Stoneyf. This game of the diamond was never really finished and no one can tell how it might have come out if the faculty had not taken time out for vacation. The game will be continued next year near Prospect Street school house. ' Resembling the pace of thc wedding SChina holds his heart. march. Morris chairs provided. 'S' Absent.

Oberlin is bounded on the North by desolation, on the West by chaos, on the South by the suburbs of Wel- lington, and on the East by the Dean's restrictions. It is mainly a factory community, producing A. B. degrees, missionaries, darkness Qjustj visible, Dcan's restrictions. and various by-products such as spas- modic communication withl civiliza- tion, material for Cleveland news- papers, and a reservoir for philan- thropy. Promptly at eight A. M. the factory whistles announce the com- mencement of the day's work. The reverberation usually shatters two or three windows across the street in Talcott. These whistles are pitched to B natural. The old resident, how- ever, wanders by entirely obliviousg the stranger in our midst waits ex- pectantly for the arrival of the ambulance. It was at one time the custom to open class with a hymn, at present, especially if the class is in a south room in Peters, that is super- fluous-an open window more than fills all requirements. In fact the survival of the fittest, the law of compensation, and a practical ex- ample of competition,-all are given a complete demonstration at one and the same time. The soothing mono- tone of the instructor's lecture adapts itself to the lulling cadence of the Its little smoke in palid moonshine died. -WOMAN SUFFRAGE. . Suburbs of VVellington. vocal frenzy across the way. An examination of note-books at the end of the hour shows a complete comic- opera score. But we digress. Having spoken of the industries, we should make some mention of the population. If the Biblical gentleman who received so many Regrets,' in response to his dinner invitations, an-cl who, becom- ing peevish thereat, thriftily filled all the vacancies without regard to the social rank of the understudies-if that determined man dwelt here, he would have no difficulty whatever. Drawn up outside his door would be the finest array of wheel-chairs ex- tant. Moreover, it is just possible that the active and vigorous w-ould take advantage of the R. S. V. P. and be on hand, provided the dinner part of the invitation were featured. ln general it is safe to call the popula- tion transient, thereby including emi- grant salesmen who get a fleeting glimpse of hotel accomodations, imi- grant conservatory students, and those migratory birds of passage with money enough for a return ticket. The chief glory of Oberlin, how- ever, is found in its artistic edifices. In the words of the freshman theme- writer, Getting off the train the first thing that strikes the eye is the group of houses across the street. Quite as startling as this vision of unusual Pullm-an passengers, is the actual array of mauve, salmon, and saffron hued residences. If these are types of- the railroad section of town, what must the residence section look like? Canswer suppressedj. It takes a slcct storm to glorify the place into a crystal and silver city of idealized streets and impressionistic lights and shadows. They tell me this happens only once in nine years.
